Once you have shown your hand, now the other side has a number of new contingencies to address over the coming years. Even if you strike a deal with them, you are putting off the inevitable. It's like Trump started a half-ass war that he was not really interested in even seeing through his term, more than long term. Don't think we have seen frenemies since before WWI.
Which is why there's a certain individual here in the US who doesn't want us to see his tax returns, amid a chorus of his supporters who cry "But the IRS didn't find anything wrong with them, so what's the point?"

The point is, there was only one bank in the world (no US bank would lend this guy money, because he was such a bad risk due to all his financial schemings and bankruptcies, among other reasons) who would do business with this individual, and that bank is currently under investigation for money laundering for certain individuals of a certain country.

A country that is known for harboring fugitives wanted by the United States; a country this individual is very, very friendly with - so friendly, this individual has nary said any bad words for the leader of it. Indeed, he is very deferential with that person, almost like a lap dog. And why is that?

The answer might be the intersection between the information in the records of that bank, who they were working with from that other country in money laundering, and what amounts this individual has reported as "other" income or losses. For someone who has repeatedly in the past claimed that he would be open with his tax records, he's awfully cagey about them now.

One would think that if nothing was really there, he wouldn't care one way or the other...?
How do you decide which country you get born in exactly?

So in other words Trump is trying to hold Huawei hostage as leverage in the negotiations.

He's doing a great PR job for China, no matter what he'll ensure USA come out of it looking like bullying assholes.

Edit: yes, Xi Jinping can do anything he likes Trump will steal the headline.
It's hard to see. Would have been better to use a straight wire instead of a bendy glasses arm.
Hey HN, just wanted to share with you what will eventually become the next generation of Caddy. The README should have what you need to get started kicking it around, and this wiki page has some ad-hoc documentation I'm flushing out today: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/wiki/v2:-Documentation

It's not yet feature-complete, but I'm hoping with your help we can get it to that point soon. Have fun with it! I think there's some really cool possibilities with Caddy 2 that just aren't there with any other web server, and it's been a lot of fun to work on.

Let me know if you have questions or constructive feedback!
Not right now maybe. The system will by laid in place before the truly objectionable use cases start cropping up.
We live in one of the top districts in the state, and chose our house specifically because of this, so my kids will go to the public school.

My wife was actually a teacher in the local district before we had kids, so we know how things go down.

The key is parent involvement. The more involved you are with the school, the more you'll hear about how your kid is actually doing "through the grapevine" which will give you a chance to address any issues at home.

My wife plans to volunteer most days of the week, and I will also try to go at least once or twice a week in the morning.

I know that is not suitable for everyone, because you have to have the flexibility to do that, and I know I'm very lucky that we have that flexibility.

Someone pointed to that earlier. Great talk about how he gathers information to write his books.
The exit tax is not some wealth/estate tax that will make a huge dent in your assets, it's simply making capital gains tax due on the date of leaving US, not on the date of the sale of capital asset. It's extremely easy to pay zero exit tax when you leave US: just liquidate all your positions, so that you only own cash. This way, you'll just pay capital gains tax instead of exit tax. Of course, there's no reason to do that, because both are equal.
Good, PostgreSQL is superior to MySQL in almost every way.
True, but life expectancy is declining here in the UK as well.
This seems overly negative and a lot of FUD. Some of these issues are minor, and/or when aware of it are easy to work around. MySQL is much more than a "nosql with mature replication".

Better than yelp (and some other sites I'm sure) which literally demand you install the app, ie provide little to no functionality on mobile web.
That's not actually true at all. The US has lower social mobility than most wealthy European countries. Thus, there are actually fewer opportunities for most people to create wealth for themselves compared to countries with more equality. It's hard to start a business, if, like the vast majority of people, you don't have a bunch of excess money sitting around.

What makes you think Iran will conclude that one of the determinant variables is nuclear capability? From a game theoretic perspective that's a pretty huge leap.

edit: to rephrase, what evidence is there that Iran's actions are based upon the conclusion that the current push towards peace on the Korean peninsula (which is also being pushed by China, South Korea, and Japan, in addition to the US) would not be happening if not for the nuclear capability developed by North Korea?

It’s not about what anyone “wishes to garner”, it’s about being factual.

I don’t find it hard to believe at all that extreme dedication and ruthlessness are highly correlated with testosterone for instance. We already know it’s coupled with aggression.

Edit: And this isn’t to say women aren’t competent and can’t be leaders! There are females CEOs, just not as many as males CEOs. There are also more male inmates and homeless. The same traits can easily lead to opposite results.
I'm glad you pointed this out as the voice of reason. I can't believe all of the anti-American sentiment in this thread. I still firmly believe that any American who is willing to work hard and avoid drugs can have an amazing life. I'm not even that hard working and do fine. Every super hard working person I've known is doing well, most better than me. I have two cousins who became pipefitters, and both make in the 150-200k range per year. I know a family friend who works package handling part time, and part time he drives a truck and trailer doing hauling, oddjobs, moving, etc. He is nearly a millionaire at this point. None are college educated. The biggest problem USA has is people who expect/demand that since they went to college, they deserve a job and money. Or folks who think that working at all should provide them a nice lifestyle. It may have been that way at one point, but not in a long time. Unfortunately, those are a lot of vocal voices.

1) Cryptocurrency ops are so vastly different from running a social website that I can't even think of any overlap.

2) I hate Facebook as a company, but as a builder/scaler of web apps for many years, I'm continually blown away by the speed and reliability of their website. Their operations are mind-blowing.

The only comparable apps (in terms of scale) are Gmail and YouTube, and Gmail is simpler in certain key areas (e.g. mail delivery isn't millisecond-sensitive for a user).

> No one actually watches the video, unless something happens.

This is not reality. Even with access restrictions in place, people are going to weigh the pros and cons of watching the video to achieve their own ends.

Who might watch it? A supervisor or coworker with a vendetta. A student/teacher obsessed with a student/teacher. A pedophile. A teacher looking to silence a challenging (but not problematic) student. A racist looking to have a particular student removed. A student looking for embarrassing things about other students to post online. etc. etc.
Kaiser is fine for acute issues, or prescription drugs. For chronic issues, you have to yell at them repeatedly to get a decent doctor. I left that mess long ago and never looked back. Insurance is more, but I actually get semi-competent doctors now.

"One downside of using Sendy is that you have to setup / host it yourself. "

This is the classic mistake of calculating savings purely on costs and not factoring in time.

Pay $75 per month for hosting and 0 hours on Ops.

-or-

Pay $5 per month for hosting and 5 hours on Ops.

The latter option values your time at $15 per hour. Basically just creating a minimum wage job for yourself.
I don't have specific statistics but in argentina the public hospitals that deal with cancer are decaying institutions and the people that I know have cancer use private insurance.

So didn't solve it either.

It would be interesting to see how nominal numbers will change if you recalculate them to take prices and per capita factors in consideration.

Just to see what happens, it might be cool to find a way to safely (as in without compromising your local network) provide root read, write and execute access to the whole anonymous, public internet while still being able to fully inspect everything that people (and bots) do.

I don't see an issue if the US Government themselves wants to not use certain companies (foreign or otherwise).

The issue is when the US Government tries to tell private US Companies who and how they should do business with certain foreign companies, and forgets to provide any actual evidence for their assertions.

This all could be avoided by simply publishing what Huawei is meant to have done. Otherwise it just strikes of a trade-war/protectionism but using "cyber security" as a justification.
Opportunity Zones Can Drive Development of US Renewable Energy
Back in the 90s, RAM was incredibly expensive. Corel introduced a product called "Corel Xara", which operated a lot like "Corel Draw" but it was just massively faster.

I still use it to this day.

I've tried all the competition, and there's just nothing that's better for 2D. It's interesting because I get the impression that there are barely any users.

For a moment it was open sourced on Linux, but the Linux version was buggy and limited. The Windows version is fantastic. For $200 it would be a great product, but you can easily find it for around $30-$50 on Amazon or eBay. If I'm not mistaken, Corel licensed Xara from another company, and the version that's been on sale for the last 20 years is sold by the original company.

I see some people talking about Germany and France offering far better and cheaper healthcare.

But can you afford to look only at Germany and France? They operate in a broader framework of EU.

If you are going to compare services/living standards then must also directly compare Romania or Bulgaria to the US because Germany and France are able to provide cheap healthcare because their healthcare staff are willing to accept lower prices and how does it work? By importing labor from cheaper European countries. Presently, many doctors and nurses from Romania work in Germany without them good luck being able to maintain "cheap" healthcare.

If you cut off Germany and France from rest of the EU, the healthcare cost will likely shoot up far more than what it costs in US now.

There is downward pressure on wages in whole EU and this is why Europeans come to states for better employment opportunities, and better pay which can and does buy you better living standards if you are willing to spend the money you make but it seems not many want to do that, they want free healthcare in addition to taking large proportion of their wages home.
I agree with every point here. And, wow, you did explain it very well!
There is a significant issue of retention for students. You typically want a "training-wheels" sort of experience to capture the student's imagination early on. Will it be the last tech they ever but? Obviously not. But having options other than "build stuff from scratch" is super important to growing interest in any particular industry.

I think Zuck himself said recently they're moving to encrypt everything and merge infrastructures for single login across properties (which a lot of us think is them sneakily trying to make their web properties a lot harder to split up in an anti-trust case).
I don't know the reason for that, but like the cursor to mark the progress bar method above, I do this trick to this day. You don't have to highlight first, you can just highlight as you go, wiggle the mouse outside of the bounds of the window, and then deselect when you get where you're going. And it's not just in Notepad, I do this in a programmers editor too.

Isn't it funny that many of us learned these sames ways of interacting with computers without being explicitly taught. If this were on the Internet, I would say it's a way to gauge whether you're a robot, but otherwise, it's just a measure of my impatience. Maybe it's just an acquired skill from growing up playing video games.
You talk about absolute costs as if that means much.

Surely a conclusion can be reached where you’re spending more than any other country, yet so inefficient at distributing the wealth that you’re spending, or funnelling it into broken feedback loops that keep people in the welfare system.

surely if that were the case then it doesn’t matter how much you’re spending in absolute terms, you’d still not be enriching the lives of the poor or helping social mobility.

Dunno about contemporary music players, but:

> no tune was played twice until all of the tunes were played

That is definitely not compatible with actual mathematical “randomness”. Try rolling a die multiple times and see whether you get all six numbers before repeats. It’s very unlikely (probability of all six rolls being unique = 6!/6^6 = 1.5%)

Which brings up the interesting question — what do humans actually expect from “shuffle” mode?
No, the parent poster is correct. Things had started to go well. Then the US pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, despite the fact that Iran was in full compliance with it.

PSPdfkit: How We Work
The way that Visa got started was that a bunch of big banks decided that it was ridiculous for their customers to get credit from all the banks, and so they agreed to federate on their own.

Maybe the news orgs need to do the same thing. Create a federated login system with a single payment and then divvy up the funds in some fair way.

I wonder how much of this is related to how we teach kids initially -- everything is primary colours; schools value appearance of writing above content ('it's so neat'); it's all about big gestures, no subtlety; ...?
It is in fact a random shuffling. Hence the name that was used for this function.
Is that relevant outside of software that can run on random shared hosting? There being able to use MySQL is a large factor, but GitLab isn't in that category.
I absolutely agree with your points, and that's good advice as long as your application works by modifying resources of a single type with each request. In my specific case we wanted to reduce round trips to the server by using compound commands that may do multiple things on the backend, affecting multiple entity types that would have to be, in rest, a resource. Also in our case my team was responsible for the client and the server, and the commands/responses are clearly documented for everyone to see.
Of course it's not in every single building. Where I grew up we had AC, but where my grandpa lived for example you couldn't. Just saying that the root comment isn't completely wrong, it happens.
The main use case is on demand neural net inference 24/7 availability.

Kind of like hosting a website that must be on 24/7, this neural net must be on 24/7.

It runs on the order of 50x faster on an nvidia GPU compared to a CPU.

But it will sit idle most of the time.

Price per hour per GB of GPU ram is the most important metric when choosing a server.

Not "hundreds of megabytes on a single core", 5 GB per second on a single core on a i7-6700HQ. Use `openssl speed -evp aes-128-ctr`, look at right-most column of 16kb blocks (like TLS record layer).

> As for the teachers, for every great teacher having controversial and important discussions with their students, there are 9 that just roll in a TV to watch a movie about once a week.

The 10% are the ones that had the biggest impact on me as a student. They are also the ones most likely to be affected by the cameras. Hell, even in the 1990s, my European History teacher flat out said (paraphrasing), "I'd have to quit if they ever installed a camera in here. It wouldn't even work for measuring how I perform, because even if the students didn't know the cameras were in here, I would know. And it would affect how I teach things just as much as if the principal was sitting in the back row."

The surveillance is less than worthless when schools are so constrained in their ability to meter out discipline. I went to one of the first surveillance schools in my state and I was bullied relentlessly, despite the video evidence the school was reluctant to suspend my attacker. This may be because my bully was black and from the hood and my school was sued by the NAACP to accept more black kids and keep the suspension rate 'racially equitable' - which amounted to different punishments depending on the race of the rule breaker.
