Respond to the strongest version of the argument, not a straw man. My meaning was obvious.

The above commenter pointed to the existence of a "very long Wikipedia page" criticizing Huawei as evidence that Huawei is a "bad actor." These sorts of "Criticism of" pages exist for many companies. Many of those pages are far more extensive than the page for Huawei. Are all those companies also "bad actors"? The existence of such a page in itself means nothing.

If you actually look at the "Criticism of Huawei" page, it contains no evidence that Huawei has installed backdoors in its equipment. There are the accusations of the US government, and various vulnerabilities that have been discovered over time (and patched), but vulnerabilities and backdoors are different things.

Then there are the various IP disputes. Tell me: which major tech company has not had multiple IP disputes over the past 20 years? The disputes that Huawei has been involved in are pretty minor, and the largest ones were 15+ years ago.

We're in the middle of a moral panic, in which suddenly, were being bombarded by messages that Huawei and China are the worst things in the history of the planet. Huawei is a "bad actor," whatever that's supposed to mean. Google stole Oracle's copyrighted Java API? Samsung violated Apple's design patents and has to pay half a billion dollars? Small potatoes. But Huawei copied Cisco's implementation of strcmp 15 years ago? Bad actor!
I may be making things up, but I remember reading the particular bug was reported by a white hat to Firefox’s internal bug tracker and somehow may have gotten leaked.
Leftists hate children so much they don't want them to even have beds. Is anyone really surprised that the "it's ok to kill children" party wouldn't turn a hair at the prospect of children suffering in the crossfire of their personal fetish for "Orange man bad"?
The O'Reilly Media Microservice Chassis
Yes, it was called Yahoo and it did a good job of cataloging the internet when hundreds of sites were added per week: https://web.archive.org/web/19961227005023/http://www2.yahoo...

I'm old enough to remember sorting sites by new to see what new URLs were being created, and getting to that bottom of that list within a few minutes. Google and search was a natural response to solving that problem as the number of sites added to the internet grew exponentially...meaning we need search.
The whole concept of a permeable membrane, i.e. essentially stuff that has holes but still is "one piece" (something like a sieve or strainer or colander or net or anyhing of the kind), is something that IMHO requires 3+ dimensions. In two dimensions if a membrane has two or more holes then it's not a single membrane anymore.

It was obviously a joke, that's what the court decided.

I'm kind of upset when some company does something that requires a tiny bit of common sense and faces consequences on the grounds that people with heads full of air get the wrong idea. We are humans, with judgment, not mindless robots, and I believe society should acknowledge that.

Sure, here, the target is high school kids, but what is the risk? It's not like one of them is going to buy a jet fighter. If there is a problem with that ad, it is that it encourages an unhealthy diet by making kids drink Pepsi.

Also note that here, we are talking about a guy who was able to build a scheme that is far from obvious. He even wrote a $700k certified cheque for that. Two possibilities: either Leonard was too insane to handle that kind of money, or, more likely, he tried to exploit an loophole for profit. In some countries, that could be considered fraud.

>you have to be polite and wait for some dumb tourist is taking a photo of his girlfriend

Actually, you don't: I usually just take a picture of them taking the photo of the girlfriend.

As for flashes, these days with everyone using their smartphones, the phones are smart enough to usually not activate the flash when you're outside. It's not as bad as the "old days" when I used to see dumb tourists with disposable film cameras taking flash photos of the Grand Canyon at night, thinking somehow they were going to light up the entire canyon.

I co-developed a Qt C++ app of ~40,000 lines. I think the amount of platform-specific code was at most a couple of pages (handling macOS' behavior to keep an app alive when all its windows are closed).

It is not perfect, but it feels a lot more native on every platform than virtually any web or electron app I have seen (including predictable keyboard shortcuts).

4k at 21 inches? I'm using a 4k screen at I think 31" and I have to scale everything to read the screen. My dream is a 43" 4k monitor with no scaling.

But 1440p at 21" I think would be great. Personally I only use 1080p screens as secondary monitors, and would never go back to 1080p for my primary display.
Nazi concentration camps featured forced labor, torture, near starvation, rape, and ultimately ended in death via exhaustion, disease, or execution. Your hyperbole is offensive to anyone whose grandparents or great grandparents actually was in a Nazi concentration camp.

As someone who played a lot of MMOs growing up I think there is a Part 2 to this study that will be interesting to see: does this critical thinking atrophy over time?

Just don't touch is a tall order with Dyson hand dryers. They are fundamentally hard to use correctly because of tight clearances.

The way they work is based on the idea of a narrow stream of air that gets water off your hands better. But for the stream to remain narrow and not dissipate, you have to get your hands close to the equipment. It's based on almost but not quite touching it.

Positioning your hands in a careful and controlled manner is, ergonomically speaking, an uphill battle. So on average, it won't happen often.

In other words, Dyson hand dryers kind of trap you into accidentally touching the part you don't want to touch.

Worse, the same applies to all the people who used the hand dryer before you. It's a very reasonable bet that the surface where the air comes out has been touched by someone who didn't use soap when they washed their hands.

> My CRT contrast never bothered me, differently from the flat panels I owned, for example trying to play "superhot" and then "dark souls" same day required lots and lots of fiddling with flat panels, the settings that let me see anything at all on dark souls, made the screen flat white on superhot, fixing the settings for superhot made the screen flat black on dark souls...

Your software isn't doing color management correctly for your display then. It probably thinks the gamma/native contrast are much higher than they really are.

That said, most customer displays have shitty filtering code they never actually document. You should turn everything off except the backlight control and then never touch it again.

Apple Hires ARM's Lead CPU Architect
My 2 cents is that its kind of like Microsoft Word or Excel but for Sales and Marketing teams.

If you produce only 50 of every product, they will always be low on stock and consumers will always be about to lose the opportunity. This is typical behaviour and retailers are increasingly designing business models around the idea.

That's not really a suspicion I have at all, since working with business groups full-time to this very day in building and deploying interactive voice systems, I suspect it's not about getting people to listen, it's about arbitrary OKRs.
> To be fair, that's what the term was invented for. It's not supposed to be just a fancy alternative to "state", "country" or "polity".

And "literally" isn't supposed to mean figuratively but here we are in a living (but not actually), evolving (but not literally) language trying to understand one another.

> But they did in many areas, and the article specifically states "that's how the world was" (not "that's how some parts of the world were").

It seems to me like if you're being a stickler about these terms but then handwaving the dissent we saw in China, the Pacific Islands, various European rebellions, Celtic tribes, and Norse communities? Well, then perhaps you are not fully respecting the term either.

The author's central point that organized societies existed before technology to make them top-down legible to rulers existed–that seems uncontroversial.

Are you really here to be rigid about terms and quibble, or are you here to discuss things like stigmergic organization, fractal aspects of behavior and how human algorithms and hierarchies mesh with that?
"Neil, if you are real and this is your real LinkedIn profile then I am so sorry. But if you’re so real then why did you copy someone else’s self-description?"

I would love to find out that the profile _is_ real, and that the JPMorgan dude is actually a fake profile for another scam (for trying to cheat people out of money), who stole this guy's self-description :P

The beautiful outcome being that he'd have publicly shamed and picked apart the guy's entire profile and foiled another scam in one hit :)

Flights to Iceland are cheap because the airlines' business model is being a hub for cross-Atlantic flights. Later on, advertisers started marketing towards those who were already crossing the Atlantic, encouraging them to spend time in the country since they were already there.

It would be possible to tax tourists more for their stay, limiting low-value tourists. It would also be possible to just put a hard limit on the number of visitors, which to me sounds like a reasonable solution, as no country can handle this growth in visitors in such a short time.

What exactly do you gain at such resolutions on a small screen? Unless you put it right in front of you to see pixels close, you probably won't even see any difference.
That's assuming that the pixels are point samples, which isn't true of pixel art. Consider the typewriter on Crono's desk at the start of Chrono Trigger, where a single pixel checkerboard pattern is used to represent the keys. The best way to scale this is nearest-neighbor. The same technique is used in many games to represent chainmail armor.
Agreed. Only congress can fix this, the law is the law. Do they really want to give Trump and the executive branch the power to pick and choose what laws to enforce?

The possibility for HTML documents to support inline scripting was considered even prior to HTML 4[0]. The script tag itself is decades old now, it's supposed to be there and it's as legitimate an element as any other.

The web was never intended to only ever be static, nor is scripting in the browser somehow a corruption or aberration of the web's original purpose. If anything, the web should have been a lot more programmable[1] than it turned out to be.

If you import 2000 stock/crypto transactions into TurboTax, you can see when it really is recalculating, because the app freezes anytime you go to the next page.
It has to do with the challenge of evaluating systems like this. The only people who really can understand it are people who are actually implementing and using it at scale and its the nature of their experience that they can't write a review "... I work at company x and after millions of dollars I can honestly say that this product is piece of junk here's a bunch of complaints which dovetail into the heart of our company's business..."

So we'll just have to live with the lone reviewer working in their home lab. "I created mailboxes for my cats and sent them 50 test messages without any hiccups, so Exchange 2019 looks like another winner!"

Apple to Deprecate Scripting Languages in Future Versions of macOS
To your initial point, I assume that you're immediately thinking of a sloppy-writing person who's first language is English, as opposed to a hacker who learnt English as a second language.
With the latter, it wouldn't be surprising that they spent less time learning a foreign language than learning about the technology that they're trying to attack
You have it backwards. Existence is the property shared by things which are or could be observed. If [an alternate universe]/[god]/[exotic laws of physics] "exists" but can't interact with anything else around us in a measurable way, then what does it mean to exist anyway? It might as well not.
So it seems V lang has finally been open sourced (not sure when exactly but it seems 4 days ago).
In any case great news. Looking forward to playing around with the language later this week.
This is interesting, and you could also make the argument that without perfect records the early societies without writing might have been very widespread and we'd simply never know because no information was passed on to us.

Still, I think your examples support my sloppily presented idea more than they discredit them. So there is that.
I think it's more like firearms. These devices can be and are used as weapons to hurt 3rd parties on the Internet. It's more like firearm owners leaving their weapons in front of their barely-sturdy windows. Then, folks needing weapons keep breaking the windows before firing them at others. The homeowners and homebuilders keep letting it happen.

So, vigilantees concerned about damage to innocent people keep breaking into the windows, stealing the guns, unloading them, and tossing them into landfills. I'd be like: "Stop putting your guns in front of the windows. Be a responsible gun owner." Enough broken windows and stolen guns might incentivize them to do that.

> so bitterly divided

I'm not so sure we are as bitterly divided or that the times are as strange as we are led to believe, and I think both of above have been pushed hard by those that would seek to thwart Brexit: 'the country is so divided, we must compromise (BRINO) in order to heal these divisions!' and 'look at how broken our politics is, we must revoke Article 50 in order to safely navigate these perilous waters!'
Exactly! HPE concealing the attack emboldened the attackers and weakened the cumulative defenses of all other Enterprises who would have been on high alert if warned!

Poor decision by HPE.

The fun part is that you can flip that pattern around, at least for car buying.

Whenever it's time for me to buy a car, I first decide exactly the model I want, then research all the sellers. I call them all at once and tell them I'm buying this particular car TODAY and inform them that I'm in touch with 8 other salespeople. Except that I'm not lying, and most of them pick up on the seriousness and actually make an attempt to compete.

Bonus: do this on the last day of a quarter and you sometimes get salespeople who are trying to meet their quota.
It wouldn't really have fewer assumptions. In fact, it probably would have more. We just wouldn't know what they are. Classical image analysis is still interesting and valuable because you can construct an algorithm based on desired properties without having to have a large, labelled training set beforehand, and because it's computationally much less expensive.
