The manufacturing site and everything was set 15 years ago in China with very little pollution consideration in mind.

I hope they have learned their lesson and these manufacturing won't bring as much pollution / unit. While I don't expect it to be zero pollution, I just hope improvement are being made, and since Foxconn is working with Apple, I believe they will surely force a few criteria.
Never link to such a shit site again.

>if the government is specifically looking for you, all bets are off anyway.

That's not really how it's done though. The government would pipe all the data into something like Palantir, not request individual data piecemeal.
I think "monolithic" and "fragile" are orthogonal concepts.
A few reasons come to mind. One is simply that if you have any metrics (ranking, win/loss ratio, greater site access..) it's going to feel nice to see them improve. Another is that losing at anything can be ego-hurting (similar reason good players sometimes sandbag with new accounts / lower ranks they can't possibly lose to, they need to 'win' more). Or reverse sandbagging/trolling with a bot might be amusing. Another is the cheater may justify it as a self-teaching game, and might not always play the strongest move but see if their move is even in consideration or try to improve ability to see the better moves by having them always pointed out -- but why not just play the bot, or save that for post-game analysis? I like to run my go games through gnugo's annotated analysis at the end (as I'm very weak I assume even the weak gnugo can teach me things), it'd be too troublesome to use it in a live game.
Yes but that is assuming the component being imported to India are without traffic.
If interns are able to take down your infrastructure, then it is the fault of the senior engineers who have designed it in a way that would allow that to happen.
> The idea behind taxes is that you use some public resource and you pay for that service.

IMO this is a fundamental misapprehension. The idea behind taxes isn't to compensate the state for resources consumed. The idea is that the state can tax you, so it does, to use that money for whatever its priorities are.

This is kind of a "purpose of a system is what it does" viewpoint on taxation, but I think it's also the most accurate. If you look at it from any other perspective, you're going to see weird inconsistencies like rich people paying more than they consume, deductions that don't match corresponding benefits provided to the public, etc.
Sounds like a great way to create a huge security flaw for your users and their passwords, or a nifty method by which your attackers can DoS your site.

KISS.
Hashing the password on the client doesn’t really gain you anything. The hash becomes the password (effectively), and you end up having to hash the hash on the server side to maintain security anyway.

The problem for sellers on Amazon is that buyers there have little loyalty, and it is easy for people to come in and cut their customers out from under them with lower-priced clone products. Shopify at least gives you the opportunity to create some kind of customer loyalty to the merchant brand, and with the right kind of marketing you can get repeat business depending on what you sell.

I agree that most small companies aren't up to the challenge of managing an online business. The 3PL integration will help a little bit, and I imagine that Shopify will continue to chip away at the problem by integrating other services.
Hermes- JavaScript Engine Optimized for React Native
These gaps would be obvious if services displayed all their authentication options completely in some graphical or table form. I personally would like a logic circuit diagram showing eg:

(password AND SMS) OR (password AND app) OR SMS --> Get in!

Then it would be obvious that the password is sort of redundant and it's really less secure than 1FA. It would also be clear what you have to lose to be locked out yourself. Only having 2 factors is not great because that's twice as many ways to get locked out. You really need 3 or more but it's never clear if that's reducing security to 1FA level or not because they don't clearly show you what the account recovery options are.

Two plainclothes officers asked him to go with them to answer questions. They asked him about his diplomatic status and whether he had diplomatic immunity, the people said. They demanded to see his passport, which he refused to show.

They weren't always illegal.
I used to believe this. Having solid lower environments which are identical to production, receiving live traffic where engineers can stage changes and promote up removes some of the “all things should live on a branch” business. I know that sounds crazy, but it is possible for teams of the right size to go crazy on master as long as the safety nets and exposure to reality are high enough in lower environments.
JavaScript Enjoys Your Tears
I'd caveat that slightly: only if the senior engineer is not also overburdened with other responsibilities, and the team has the capacity to take on the intern in the first place. I've been on teams where I felt like we desperately needed more FTEs, not interns. But we could hire interns, and not FTEs.

(I agree with the premise that an intern or junior eng is supposed to be mentored, and their mistakes caught. How else should they learn?)
I guess that's true. If you're not actually selling them other than in your device, you can argue that they're basically worthless as bits of plastic and metal, and all the "value" is being created by the India-based assembly process that turns them from parts into functioning phones.

That is not entirely true, you cant just name an R&D budget, you have to show it in some way.
True, but ultimately if they're unsure they'll just ban you from the platform anyway. Consistent, winning players aren't really where they make their money, and they're free to ban anyone they like. (I realize technically they take a cut from all players, but more money gets sloshed around for them to skim off of if winning players aren't removing it from the system.)

> You want your opponent to fold more often than not when you have thin value because more often than not you’re actually beat.

No, that is simply not true. If I am betting for value, then I want my opponent to call no matter how weak I am or how thin it is.

> But you don’t know the other person is holding KK when you’re betting for “thin value” on the river.

Then it's a value bet. As you said, it's not defined by the outcome.
I was not being sarcastic!!
Why do you need a network stack? Send the data over an RS-422 connection with the RX lines physically disconnected. Send a sequence number and checksum with each transmission so data loss and corruption can be detected, and store a local copy of everything you send, so that it can be retrieved manually if something went wrong with the transmission (which is unlikely, because RS-422 is simple and reliable).
Proof is in the pudding: 28% startup speed improvement in MS Office for Android vs V8 with bytecode caching (so AOT compiling the bytecode isn’t a big advantage specific to Hermes):

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20413046

The key is that Hermes is optimized for a totally different environment and workload - RN apps from disk on slow Android devices vs. websites downloaded on desktop computers.

The fact that Hermes is architected for RN from the beginning is key. Bytecode is as compact as possible, and is mmap’d. mmap’d bytecode is a very deep change with huge benefits, but also limits some optimizations other engines rely on, such as inline caching.

Also note Hermes does not have a JIT to save memory and APK size. A lot of the heroic perf work in V8/JSC is in the JIT which is not useful in most RN scenarios/environments.
It wasn’t sarcasm. I was being sincere.

Which do you prefer? Some of the best stacks and code I’ve worked in wound up with stability issues that were a long series of changes that weren’t simple to rework. By contrast, I’ve worked in messy code, complex stacks, that gave great feedback. In the end, the answer is I want both, but I actually sort of prefer “messy” with well thought out safety nets to beautiful code and elegant design with none.

I'm afraid you are right but people in India don't seem to care. I go there every year and life there compared to 10 years ago is night and day. Even in cities that are further away from the big 4 (e.g. north of New Delhi, even in Himachal Pradesh which used to be very clean as the Himalayas start there) have an extremely visible layer of smog, especially in winters. Pollution is pretty bad and water shortage is becoming more common. But surprisingly, neither the government there or the public seem to treat this as a top national emergency. This may sound elitist, but I consider New Delhi an unlivable city.

It's a difficult tradeoff. Economic development seems to be the only parameter that matters, especially when there are so many in poverty.

I am the co-founder of an annual weekend even infinitesimally smaller than the NY Maker Faire. It takes our staff a huge amount of work just to pull it off every year. You can’t wing an event - all the parts need to come together like clockwork or you Fyre Festival. You are coordinating all of these vendors, third party participants, venues, etc... which is like herding cats.

22 sounds like a really lean staff to pull off such vast events.
Except many of the big sponsors weren't convinced this year.
This is why you need two options. It could be a yubikey and your phone, or a yubikey and backup codes kept in a safe, or two yubikeys, one of which might belong to a trusted relative.

Or if you're really worried about getting locked out, maybe three options.

It's not patronising at all. It's the reality. They got major shit to deal with. We all do but theirs is on another scale. Pretending they don't because of some misguided fear of being seen as patronising doesn't change it one bit. Like I said I hope they are successful as I hope we all are so we emerge from this existential threat together stronger and more wise but I fear for a place like India based on what I saw more than I do Europe or the US or even SE Asia.

He's got over 40 projects in total there, and each one of those is deep --- they would either take a very long time or be impossible for the average programmer. In contrast, many other programmers I've heard claim to have done over a dozen different projects turn out to really be "I glued several libraries together" repeated many times; very much the opposite of Bellard.

In fact, I suspect one of the reasons he is so productive is because he shuns all social media.

I agree completely but money isn't the only parameter. Timing, rate of environmental degradation, culture, politics and future unknown curve balls (luck) will all play a large part in the development of this history.
The funny part about the Quantity strategy is that it eventually turns into such an unmotivated and directionless bureaucratic hellhole that often those same companies create teams or even startup-like subsidiaries following the Quality model.

Ironic that, in order to achieve a modicum of quality, many large companies must insulate anything potentially valuable from their true corporate environment.

I'm curious how a cronjob would be used as Lambda functions here? I'd have expected it to be CGI here instead.

Do note that I'm not encouraging people to use CGI for their serverless needs whatsoever but if we're going back to basic then CGI is the closest thing I can think of for serverless.
If you had that protection, what would you do if your phone was lost/stolen and you wanted the number transferred to a new SIM card? You lose your number forever if it was impossible to transfer. If there's some way to transfer it, like showing your passport in person in the phone company's office, a hacker can pretend to be you and do that too if your account is valuable enough to be worth the risk. Ultimately, you're still trusting the phone company not to assign your number to somebody else, and that's what they're not good at.
This is the most important question.
> What is the best way to deal with something like this? Not that I'm going back to China any time soon.

I think you answered your own question.
> The syntax has a lot less noise.

Note here how you unconsciously use "has" instead of "have", that kind of grammatical noise exists because those small redundancies help us understand each other.

I think the reason very few computer languages use parens is because they're harder to read by virtue of having less grammatical redundancy.

(At the other end of the spectrum, languages like COBOL are hard to read because they're swamped in redundancy.)

> So no, "anything" can't go anywhere, because a type mismatch will cause a runtime error.

I should have been clearer: it can go anywhere while you're writing it, so you have to run it to find out. That's the problem people also have with other dynamic languages when they're working on non-trivial codebases. Also, because types are rarely declared up front, you're often paging through code to figure out what type should go some place.

> And in CL you can correct runtime errors by modifying the source code and resuming program execution (without having to restart the complete program), so no big deal either.

I agree that's an amazing feature few langauges have been able to copy, but it seems like it wasn't enough.

Note that largely automated processes are quite easygoing to move between regions, since labor cost is not a significant factor.
I'm not a fan of this approach in general, but I am a fan of highlighting instructions from different subsets in different colors in asm, and perhaps differentiating the saturation by latency/throughput. I.e. a "heavy" instruction should probably be bright, urgent red, whereas loads, stores, adds, bit ops should probably be more muted.
It's kind of a sleight of hand to piggyback on the panic about income inequality but target your attack based on consumption. If consumption is what matters, we should also use it to measure the level of inequality. And when we do that, we find (as in your parent comment) that it's not nearly so dire. How much variation in outcome should we allow? Beating the median by a factor of 2 doesn't seem particularly crazy.

There are plenty of existing libraries that do exactly that. This isn't novel to Fuchsia. A good example is GNOME's GVfs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVfs , which is basically a plugin architecture to the standard GLib I/O routines. (Although as it happens, it still places the mounts in separate daemon processes.)

Other things that come to mind are SQLite's VFS layer https://www.sqlite.org/vfs.html , Apache Commons VFS for Java https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-vfs/ , glibc's fopencookie(3) which lets you provide a custom, in-process implementation of a FILE * http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/fopencookie.3.html , libnfs which even comes with an LD_PRELOAD https://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs , etc.

(And as others have pointed out, while client and server code can exist without IPC, as the names "client" and "server" would imply, that isn't the primary intention. The docs you link say, "To open a file, Fuchsia programs (clients) send RPC requests to filesystem servers ...." And even the terminology of a file system as a "server" isn't novel to Fuchsia; that's the approach the HURD and Plan 9 both take for filesystems, for instance.)
My guess is that by "multiplayer", they meant "free for all", as opposed to "N vs. N". In other words, multiple opposing factions.
Your concerns are real but not germane to the issue. The main issue with air quality in Indian cities is particulate matter, which has little to do with semiconductor manufacturing or assembly.

> Are you saying that the Schrodinger Equation, the collapse postulate, and the Born Rule are mathematically equivalent to QTT?

Yes.
If you're already using programs to help you, I don't see how you can be upset if someone else is cheating better than you are.
Let's use your reasons, but look at it from the opposite side:
1) The largest contributor to the poor air quality in India is the practice of burning to clear fields, cook stoves that use wood, and the burning of cow dung [https://www.vox.com/2018/5/8/17316978/india-pollution-levels...].

One easy way to bring these people out of poverty is to provide them with good economic opportunities (like factory jobs!). High-tech factories would demand cleaner, more stable power (natural gas, nuclear instead of coal, wood, cow dung).

2) India's totally overpopulated, agreed. One way to decrease the population growth is to bring these people out of poverty. Every developed country has seen their birth rate decline once they move to the middle class. These guys need jobs, college, etc, and people will start having less kids!
