Yes, because knowledge isn't SEO-optimized by default. It takes time to do so. And time is money. And 99% of the time, those who are willing to spend a lot of time to get on the first page of Google are doing it to gain money, not to spread knowledge.

I'll say this: my gut says "no" BUT if the US uses Huawei as much as China uses Cisco et al then there is one very good thing that can happen--economic interdendence which tends to encourage peace!

The key is for balance and competitiveness on both sides to be maintained.

China backs its companies with government support more aggressively than the US does (in recent decades anyway) which means the US could lose its edge and end up totally reliant.

If people have a 10-20 minute bike commute as most seem to me have in Utrecht, they probably accept a slower pace. In London I’m guessing a lot larger fraction have a 45 or 60 minute bike commute which is a) more of an exercise hour so m and b) is more sensitive to delays because of the long times involved. A city planned for cyclists is not only about good biking infra, but also about density and planning to make a large enough fraction of the people live within 20 minutes by bike from work so they can have an enjoyable short commute.
This comment is regurgitating stats and numbers without much context.

I feel that over-priveleged peoples in the West with a really good life and pretty much every comfort available, often tend to just look at these superficial charts and numbers and tend to gloss over the context in these other countries.

It's pretty sad really that you are comparing China to the USA in this way just by mentioning that the USA is a oligarchy and somehow that's worse than being in China. The US at least has the option. Chinese people do not.

This worshipping of communist governments and downplaying the USA's freedoms and comforts really need to tone down a bit.

The author's explanations of the first three answers aren't sufficient. There is no requirement within C for `int` and `char` to be different sizes. Similarly, you don't know what the resolution of ' '*13 will be. It's architecture dependent.

C, for all it's simplicity, is a relatively complex language.
It's always disturbed me how Americans use the word Americans when humans would be much more apt. It shows that deep down the rest of the world is nothing but a resource to be exploited in the minds of many Americans.
China's GDP per capita is $9k, while the US's is $60k.

I think you're looking at entirely the wrong metric.

> From the perspective of individual liberty it seems better to be subject to surveillance by someone who doesn't have legal authority over you than be subject to someone who does.

Well, this idea is false. The CCP has power in the U.S. over people they surveil, through the information gained with that surveillance. It doesn't take much to compromise ordinary people, if you can watch a lot of what they do.

Not sure what kind of minority you're talking here, but foreign governments can compromise you and take over your life just the same regardless of the colour of your skin.
I love the call-out to Diplomacy as blood sport. It is one of my favorite games, but I rarely suggest it, due both to the length of a typical game and the depth of deceit.

We played a semester-long game in one of my game theory classes with a couple moves per day. I had an alliance with two others and we spent at least four hours a day in various hidey-holes (the alliance was secret to start, and later we just wanted private quiet) on campus to plan our moves.

If you've never played diplomacy, I highly recommend it.

That doesn't work for metadata. Also, confidentiality is only one aspect of security. You also want availability, which can't be assured with clever crypto.

I scored 2, but mostly out of luck for being 100% sure only about the 1st question, as I encountered alignment problems a lot of times in the past when dealing with structures to be sent through the network, and also between different architectures (and sometimes endianess too). If memory serves, there are #pragma directives to force the compiler to align structure members to a given interval, but they're compiler dependent and would make a non portable piece of code even less portable.

If shilling sites are more likely to be SEO-optimized, yes. One of the implications of Bayes' Theorem is that if observing A makes B more likely, then observing B also makes A more likely. A worked example:

Given:

P(shill) = P(!shill) = 0.5

P(optimized|shill) = 0.8

P(optimized|!shill) = 0.6

Then:

P(optimized) = P(shill) * P(optimized|shill) + P(!shill) * P(optimized|!shill) = 0.4 + 0.3 = 0.7

P(shill|optimized) = P(optimized|shill) * P(shill)/P(optimized) = 0.8 * 0.5/0.7 ≈ 0.57

P(shill|!optimized) = P(!optimized|shill) * P(shill)/P(!optimized) = 0.2 * 0.5/0.3 ≈ 0.33
It's just more work, because worst case you just need to wrap C++ APIs to C and bind that to rust.
I was wondering the same thing a few weeks back and found this project from the folks at KDE: https://github.com/KDE/rust-qt-binding-generator

I’ve found that tending to my emotional state will make the important stuff get done, because I naturally focus on it. Procrastination, for me, is usually either a mismatch between what my conscious and subconscious believe to be important or fear of doing something unfamiliar.
So - as an overprivileged person in the West, I believe I am happier living in the US than in China. There are a lot of freedoms and comforts available to me as an upper-middle-class person. Were I not, I suspect I'd be happier in China.

And there's no shortage of e.g. college students from China who want to return after their studies instead of trying to stay around America and get a work visa. They're smart, and they're under no Chinese censorship when in America, so it seems to me that one is not vastly better than the other.

(Also the unspoken question is how China, the USSR, Korea, etc. would be were it not for their economic suffocation by the US. I didn't bring this up in the context of the Great Firewall, but if we're talking about quality of life it's absolutely relevant. It's important for the US to buy Huawei because not doing so when they have a better product is just repeating the same immoral economic suffocation.)

Because by saving the patient that sum of money said patient will maybe have enough funds to come visit said doctor for a second time (or a 3rd, or a 4th), instead of postponing the visit for financial reasons.

In other words, if a doctor prescribes me a $1000 medicine instead of a $500 one, and a visit to said doctor costs $500, I might not visit him a second time because I've already paid $1000 for the medicine and I don't have enough money for my health anymore. Not visiting your doctor when you need it (for whatever reasons) is bad for the patient.
Couldn't they just run like a regular website, except be available offline? Then you could just open it up in your browser, so only one instance of Chrome/Firefox is used. Not sure how hard it would be to allow electron apps to run like that, but it seems like they are basically just websites as it is, given that they run on Chromium, maybe it would be harder for them to work with the OS filesystem though.

For the electron apps I use, they are generally available online as a website anyways, so I just use that, and get the whole common instance thing for free.

if a VPN is right for your use case, ProtonVPN is the best possible solution if you want a moderate degree of herd anonymity from endpoints you visit. if you don't care about that, run your own VPN.

those are the only two answers. ProtonVPN is the only VPN company to own any of their own hardware (they own one physical data center in Switzerland). "SecureCore" = route through switzerland data center to destination country, also useful. CEO is a public figure. free service is surprisingly good. company is ideological.

could it all be fake? yes, but it is far less likely than any other company's VPN service to be. if there's one VPN in the world that would go lavabit, it'd be them.

as others have said vpnpro.com and any VPN review websites are all untrustworthy and paid off by VPN companies.
> - CL is too big (compared to Racket and Clojure)

The old criticisms of Lisp being too big were compared to Scheme & C, and it is definitely much larger than those two are: why, it defines modules & hash tables and has objects! Racket is actually a pretty neat system which is basically Scheme-plus-a-lot; I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s actually larger than CL.

I don’t know how Clojure would compare, but I imagine that it’s comparable.

Not that compared to language like Go or Python, Lisp is very much not big. It doesn’t have built-in email, or HTTP and that kind of thing (but there are good libraries available for almost everything these days).

> - Lisp-1 vs Lisp-2

Most language these days have a single namespace. Honestly, though, I think that’s a mistake along the same lines as most languages these days lacking a symbol type. https://www.dreamsongs.com/Separation.html is a nice overview of the arguments in both directions.

I like being able to easily add my own new namespaces to the language.

> - recursion discouraged (is that even true?)

I don’t believe it is. Recursion is just one more tool in the toolbox. Note that while the standard doesn’t mandate tail call optimisation, many implementations implement it anyway.

> - There is a thing called "Lisp Curse"

I think that applies to any Lisp-like language, not just Common Lisp. For some reason people’s brains turn off when they see:

(if (foo x)
(bar)
(baz))

instead of:

if foo(x) {
bar()
} else {
baz()
}

> are there any compelling reasons for an average Joe programmer like me to start learning Common Lisp in 2019?

I think that it’s still the best language out there for delivering quality, well-forming software which can run in a dynamic environment and handle dynamic situations. I professionally program in Go — and I enjoy it — but I would rather program in a Lisp implementation which adopted goroutines, channels and interfaces[0]. I would rather use something like an eshell which had a few man-years of work on it than zsh, and I’d rather use something like a next-gen Lisp scsh than sh.

There are some great languages out there: ML, Erlang, Lisp. They are each worth learning, worth using.

0: there are threading and channel libraries already, but I honestly don’t know what interfaces would look like in a dynamic language; I do know that I love them in Go.

People have moral standards, some use these standards as a currency to buy what others control. A boss might control overtime, travel perks such as assistant to the boss on a trip. This sort of power may well be what drove Rubin, and we can see how money works in cases like this. With large amounts of cash at his disposal he would be able to hire sex rings of whatever size he wanted. the company was unaware of what went on (with the exception of fellow ring members who would keep quiet). Had they known before the settlement, the terms may well have been a lot less generous.
Often nerdy tech types like him are at the bottom of the sexual attractiveness pecking order and never learn the nuances of interactive relationships, might even be a part of an Autism aspect?? Then he learns he can flash $$ and hot women line up to grab it, hookers or just flexible morals?

> Is it massively preferable to the average healthcare situation for Americans - hell yes it is.

Your average American has employer-paid health insurance, which covers most of their costs. According to the OECD, average out-of-pocket healthcare expenditure in the U.S. is $1,370, versus $629 in the U.K. https://data.oecd.org/healthres/health-spending.htm. Keep in mind that median household disposable (post-tax) income in the U.S. is $45,000, versus $29,000 in the U.K.
> So, I am an American, but my primary loyalty is to humanity as a whole.

Being able to say that sort of thing with a straight face is the tremendous privilege of being an American.

> I don't think promoting the American intelligence apparatus is good for the world

In a vacuum I would not promote them, but in a counterintelligence scenario, I side with U.S. and Canadian intelligence services over the PLA, 100%.
The thing I try not to do is believe the CIA when they say somebody is committing an act of war against the U.S, because their track record on that is not great. ;- )

> (I think you can construct an argument that America treats the rest of the world better than China, though. I don't think I believe it right now but I could be convinced.)

Well, look into it. I don't think you can compare the callousness and limitless self-interest of the CCP (and the culture of the people they empower) abroad to even the greatest excesses of modern U.S. foreign policy. China is ruthlessly raping the developed world of its natural resources, and leaving superfund sites in its wake, and nobody is tempering that; some because they're afraid, others because they simply never cared.

When the U.S. has an interest abroad, at least Americans feel they have a right and duty to keep tabs on it. That is a huge step up from most of the world. That doesn't mean that American businesses and U.S. government organizations don't do bad things abroad, but it does mean that ordinary Americans can say and do something about it.

There's a false dichotomy here between trusting U.S. intelligence services, and trusting the PLA. If you don't trust either, you may still be surveilled by U.S. intelligence services in America; if you "equally distrust both", you will be surveilled by both, in America.

No idea how accurate it is though.
The credit thing is my only real concern here.

As far as I'm concern, upvoting/downvoting isn't fun, it's an act of public service. I'd be incredibly concerned that corporate entities will have huge incentive to buy fact-upvotes and since there is no limit how many they can use, it would take 5,000 good samaritans to undo the damage of 1-shill with $5.

Basically a deal-breaker to me that the site is that out-of-touch with the problem of internet news. Frankly, I'd like a news site that does the opposite - 1 vote per proven US citizen (no bots, no foreign influencers, no corporations).

I ride my e-bike at 15-20mph. The assist stops at 20 and I only ever exceed it downhill. Are there really not a ton of athletic cyclists going faster than this under their own power? Around here, serious riders would find that laughably slow.

I find the electric assist is not so much about going faster as making transportation into a non-event and avoiding exertion.

> That said, I have heard my mentor say "I don't get the point of <insert tidyverse function> - I did this 20 years ago."

Tidyverse has a tendency to promote "new" things without any references to what came before. If you listen to their talks they speak as if they invented functional programming and the idea of pure and tiny functions working together.

And it trickles down to the users. A lot of people who learned tidyverse first for example, praise the `purrr` package, but have no idea that something like `Map()` is in base R.
