Instead of worrying about location of the servers, the real point should be which government should be in control of the data. Even if the data is located in India under US government pressure on a company, say for some investigation, the US would still be access the data; the companies can still sell the data to other US-based companies.

Or, is location being used metaphorically over here?
I bet the only truly important correlation is how many books a person has read. Too bad they didn’t ask that.

No, this won't bypass certificate pinning, to do that you need to tamper the app or hook runtime calls using something like Xposed. There are modules [0] [1] that do this, support depends on the version of Android you're using.

South Korea to send 50,000 tonnes of rice
I have seen two scenarios in Australia where they're using MSTeams (MS version of slack) exclusively for internal comms and emails are just for external communications....

It seems very doable.
The JavaScript function "window.print()" is expected to open a print dialog for the current document. Since "window" is also the global object for the main/UI thread in a browser, "print()" resolves to "window.print()", if no function has been defined otherwise.
This is, BTW, also a potential issue in Emscripten, which uses a similar logging mechanism by a custom "print()" function. (I guess, this is also, where it came from in the WASM implementation. A few years ago, I actually replaced all references to "print" by a more safe name for a customized Emscripten runtime, in order to prevent similar from happening in any edge cases. I suggest to treat "print" and similar global function names just as if they were reserved words in your projects to avoid "expectable unexpecteds" like this. For similar reasons, using a variable "self" to store a reference to the current this-object isn't a great idea, since "self" is already the canonical reference to the global object…)

Edit: To be more specific, "window" is only the global object for the scripting context in a browser window (anything inside "script" tags). Meaning, you would have to use the full form, "window.print()", when calling the print function from outside this context, like inside an event handler attribute of an HTML tag. (E.g., '<button onclick="window.print()">Print page<button>'. Here, a simple "print()" wouldn't work.)

I’m envisioning an outcome beyond the article. Labor costs are higher in the U.S.A. to be sure but I wonder how much of a difference it ultimately is if you look at the related costs/benefits. I can think of a couple of reasons it is worth considering:

- Distribution and Shipping efficiencies

- Higher levels of productivity and training efficacy

- Nationalistic sentiment and contra-beneficial protectionism

Well they work out their own deals per business. Their standard rate is 180$/user/year (without pay-up-front discounts) but that doesn't include SSO or terabyte storage per user. I'd be curious to know what add-ons a corp might stretch the budget for, I can't find details for what they charge for SLA
Perhaps. But you still have oversight and physical access. You could bug the servers. You could monitor their network and so on. Your courts could create orders against the data on your servers. Also it's very dangerous as we have seen to have all your citizen's data exposed as it could allow like a country to better socially engineer your public and determine outcomes of elections.

I would double down and say if you do that, I will ban all H1Bs from leaving the country. Let's see how Trump and Silicon Valley feels about that.

There's so much wrong with this.

HIPAA doesn't talk about US citizens or distinguish different types of records based on any properties of the people that those records cover. The words citizen do not appear in HIPAA or HITECH. HIPAA applies to any records by covered entities, which is what it discusses, regardless of who those records refer to.

There is no requirement in HIPAA that PII must be stored in the US. This is such basic info it's in the HIPAA FAQ from HHS https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/c.... Question 9 is unequivocal, you can store data outside of the US, but you need to think about any dangers or risks associated with this. Which is totally logical.

There are lots of reasons to have issues with the US. But not what you're talking about.

Basic PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Tips to Remain Alive
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been around for a long time now, however after every one of the gossipy tidbits and theory we've at long last observed the entry of PUBG PS4, opening up the game to an entirely different player base. On the off chance that you need to vanquish each of the 99 rivals in PUBG and secure that chicken supper - the prize for winning the fight royale - at that point you'll require a blend of good strategies, relentless point, and a liberal dash of karma also. The most significant thing you have to do, normally, is remain alive, which is parcel simpler to state than do.
With right around a hundred adversaries gunning for you and attempting to fend off you from that scrumptious chicken, remaining alive in PUBG can be a major inquire. It's anything but difficult to go around and snatch a firearm, gather some plunder, and perhaps lay hold of a vehicle to race around in, yet without an arrangement it's in all respects far-fetched you'll remain in the game long enough to achieve the last circle. That is the reason we've assembled these basic PUBG tips for survival, to give you the most obvious opportunity with regards to remaining alive and verifying triumph in the endgame.

The touch bar doesn't give you the ability to touch it without click like a key. It also replaces all the f keys and the escape key.

It is by far the worst thing made when working say on the bus. There is no world in which the touch bar is good in any way. There are zero benefits to it. On two years with this monstrosity I have regretted having it. And now I am seriously considering moving to windows with the new Linux subsystem.
I don't think it runs Linux, there is tons of embedded OS's.
It could be Nuclus, RIOS OS, or most likely, some sort of proprietary OS which was shipped with specific MCU they are using.

OS writing is pretty simple, as long as you do not need a ton of device drivers and networking. There are over two dozen of them listed there: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Embedded_Systems/Common_RTOS and that is not a complete list.

The idea that the Chinese government could present a material international threat to your business is really a relatively new one[1]. Immediately after PNTR in 2000 and before the installation of the current regime, it was a a more-or-less stable environment.

Today's uncertainty really only started to creep in around 2014[2], and in those 14 years the global supply chain concentrated so heavily in and around China that you need to overcome a lot of inertia to move elsewhere. Most attempts to do so until now have been either for low-value mfg - t-shirts or bicycles - or focused on relatively less complicated finishing and assembly stages.

1. What I mean here is that in earlier days, you were more likely to be concerned about access to the PRC market and making sure you had strong internal IP protections in place with your contract partners.

2. In addition to the politics, this is also around the time it became clear that the Chinese economy in general needed to change, because they were starting to lose out on low-margin products to lower-wage countries.
Plus the rev to valuation makes no sense 40x ratio of Valuation to Rev. Compare this to Alphabet with a 8x, Amazon with a 13x...etc.

Will the need to move away from China going to accelerate the development and adoption of automation technology?

Isn't this what the L1 visa is for? I don't see anyone discussing that in this thread.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-1_visa

>L-1 visas are available to employees of an international company with offices in both the United States and abroad. The visa allows such foreign workers to relocate to the corporation's US office after having worked abroad for the company for at least one continuous year within the previous three prior to admission in the US. The US and non-US employers must be related in one of four ways: parent and subsidiary; branch and headquarters; sister companies owned by a mutual parent; or "affiliates" owned by the same or people in approximately the same percentages.[2]

Although when I look at the top companies utilizing them, you see it is Tata.

Still, it's separate from the H1 and not subject to the H1 cap.
I got 80%, although I got penalized for "prostuttion" which I accepted by accident. I think it's a bit much to penalize people for accepting misspellings of real words. After all if someone wrote "In Germany prostuttion is legal" the meaning is perfectly clear.
> the small ads of music papers in the 1960s were frequently littered with desperate pleas from people who had heard a song once, sometimes years previously, and were haunted by the memory

Understandable. I'd very much like to know what was that song that died together with my hard disk almost fifteen years ago: a simple repetitive upbeat-but-relaxed rhythm of mid-bass synth with animeish girl voice chattering over it, and a refrain with the words “Ichi ni san go.” The melody of which refrain is somehow almost identical to that of “Perfect” by Princess Superstar—which didn't help me one bit in my search. And the only metadata I know about the song is that it was ‘12.mp3’ in some compilation.

With the google-fu, I've managed to find two cartoons from my childhood just by vague descriptions, but no such luck with this song.

I also sometimes get a melody stuck in my head for days on end until I finally remember where it comes from. And sometimes, only a chance listening to the album relieves the curse when I'm pretty much ready to wade through the entire genre that in fact turns out to be mostly unrelated (damn you wild Japanese synth-jazz experimenters).
If it takes leverage away from China in negotiations, is that not a good thing for the US?
Yes. Urbanisation into massive cities is vastly more efficient in terms of environmental impact than sprawl.

Those people still need to live somewhere, but bringing everyone closer together increases efficiencies by enormous amounts. Cities are the thing helping to save the environment.

Distributed Systems Training in Go and Rust
Eh, maybe I'm in the minority here, but I've been forced to work on MS teams for a project and it's atrocious compared to Slack. Not to mention the lack of a client for linux, their web app doesn't work in chromium for no reason (it does in chrome), and the UX is just shit.

Slack just works and their UI/UX is on point, everything is intuitive. Their client is slow and eats RAM, but I totally see that it's more useful than other chat applications.
Sounds like an interesting hack :) But from the picture its unclear if it had the sharp bright pixels of the old toaster Macs.
As supply chains become more automated, they slowly start to migrate back to the US. These tariffs will accelerate the process.

It’s actually harder to move out of China with higher levels of automation. Labor is everywhere. Expertise around assembly automation is much more limited, and is easier to find in China than Vietnam and other countries typically being moved to.

A friend of mine worked for general dynamics in ft worth years and years ago and I went and visited him.

I was struck by all the apartment complexes that did not live up to their name. They were not complex at all, they were... simple (simplex?).

The apartment buildings were designed like children draw houses, sort of like shoeboxes. They had pitched roofs and rows of identically spaced windows maybe 20 wide and 3 or more stories tall. Giant parking lots to match each building.

To be clear, it was probably affordable housing, and I don't know if it's still like that, but it lacked character.
I seem to remember a WWDC session from a few years ago (the one where dyld 3 was first introduced) where they said that dlclose() is now essentially a no-op on macOS, since it’s rarely done, the benefits are few, and the possible problems are many.

> a couple of years ago I went static only

You mean for your code, deployed on your systems. Yeah, that works fine.

Now ship a binary to a client system with your static TLS implementation, JPEG decoder, LZ decompressor, whatever. And then go hire someone to watch the CVE feeds every day to know when you have to get them to install an upgrade.

Of, if you don't want it to be your fault when they get pwned, you could just link against the system libraries and tell them to stay updated.

"Static only" makes sense for web apps developed and deployed within the same organization, for embedded solutions where the whole update/upgrade process is known to be under the control of the developer, and... basically nowhere else.

This advice is bad, sorry.
