> A small correction, Android does not use OpenJDK. It uses the ART runtime

Oops! I got confused after there was uncertainty in 2015 because of the Oracle lawsuits. I believe it was reported at that time that they would switch to OpenJDK, or something similar enough was reported that that's what I remembered.

> On the software side, Bionic (android's libc), Dalvik (runtime), LLVM, external dependencies (i.e. boringssl, lib{vpx,hecv,mpeg4,etc},) definitely need work.

Not all of those need to be in software, but yes, it all needs to come together.

> commercial devices will need a more complete cpu+gpu+dsp+modem package.

Totally, though the non-CPU bits have little to do with RISC-V either way, and the drivers for them tend to be (relatively) portable C code, so that bodes well.
"OSS being politicised"

GitHub is a subsidiary of Microsoft, a US company with lucrative interests in the US government. While this does indeed stifle OSS activity for people in Crimea it isn't really about OSS.
I'm fairly certain you could publish the kind of speech you are referencing in the US or any other nation with similar sanctions right now with no problems.

Not so much free speech in Russia.

Big fan of NYCCNC, and have been anticipating this video for awhile since he first mentioned it. Too bad it's not as in-depth as some of their other factory tours. Clearly Kern has some secrets they're not keen on letting slip.

Check out their Starrett tour: it's one of my favorite videos on all of YT.

> bodies are actually pretty good at letting us know when we need water.

My body certainly isn't.
I like Gitlab but that's not exactly what I have in mind, I think about something more similar to torrents. The problem with everyone having their own instance without discoverability & interoperability between them is that you lose most of the value of Github.
One problem with the current data ecosystem is that often misinformation is free, while hard science (and other reliable sources) are hidden behind paywalls. For example, I can read the abstract, which doesn't seem to conflict with the OP, but if I want to see the full text, I'm SOL.

I even have the Unpaywall extension installed (http://unpaywall.org), precisely to avoid this situation, but unfortunately the extension wasn't able to find a free version of this article.

This is one reason Open Access publishing is so crucially important to the public discourse. "Alternate facts" will win if people can read them for free but must pay to read peer-reviewed science.

Whether or not you think National Geographic has mischaracterized the science in this instance, I hope we can all agree that access to the original source would help everyone get their facts straight.
The tidal forces depend on the size of the black hole.

http://www.hawking.org.uk/into-a-black-hole.html

> ... If you fall towards a black hole feet first, gravity will pull harder on your feet than your head, because they are nearer the black hole. The result is, you will be stretched out longwise, and squashed in sideways.. If the black hole has a mass of a few times our sun, you would be torn apart, and made into spaghetti, before you reached the horizon. However, if you fell into a much larger black hole, with a mass of a million times the sun, you would reach the horizon without difficulty. So, if you want to explore the inside of a black hole, choose a big one. There is a black hole of about a million solar masses, at the center of our Milky way galaxy.
What's the alternative?

Keeping the status quo and pretending like nothing significant happened when some country decides to annex another country's soil in 21th century?

In that case loosing moral ground would alienate people from US/West even more.
It’s hard to prove causation, but South Africa only started making real progress towards ending apartheid after broad sanctions started getting passed.

I think you accidentally misspelled "makes excuses for a tyrant while the blood is still dripping from his hands". Because you can be reasonable about not thinking that an invasion of Syria is a good idea and call Assad out on his war crimes. Most other candidates manage that just fine.

IMHO returning status 400 is only reasonable if the request itself is malformed. A request to check whether a CC is valid does not become malformed depending on whether the CC is valid or not.
You realize there are a handful of therapeutic areas where they are really competitive?

It’s inaccurate to suggest that’s the only market for drugs.
I’m Danish and in our very recent election we voted the authoritarians and populists out, by a large margin. Margrete Vestager is from a very liberal (as in free) Danish party, and she’s pushing some of the toughest regulations on big tech companies that we’ve seen in years.

So I’m not convinced it’s really authoritarian. We have a big scandal right now in Denmark, because a company secretly sold jet-fuel to Russians and that’s been illegal since sometime during the Cold War. Because other industries have been regulated on what they could trade with our “enemies” for decades. The tech sector somehow snuck under the radar on this, but that sneaking has certainly ended, and it’s now being regulated like any other industry.

I mean I could certainly be wrong, but I really do see it as governments being governments. When I was a child there weren’t seatbelts or airbags in cars. Automakers didn’t suddenly start putting them there because it was the right thing to do, or because it’s sell more cars. They did it because regulation forced them to do it and then they later turned safety into a marketing point.
Only problem with your theory is that the number of fully-embargoed countries by the US has decreased over the last 20 years, and all of the still-embargoed countries except for Crimea have been on the list for longer than 20 years.
If there was a law aggressively limiting the property tax rate, skyrocketing demand, and I happened to be in a house I got in the 70s... you better bet I'd be opposing development too.
I agree with what you said. But this means that US/West sanctions people for their democratic choice.

We should instead sanction people associated with Russia’s totalitarian government.
I'm amazed to see it. Valonia is a pest in reef aquariums. I can't think of anything less popular, and now it's front-page news.
> 3x is a little hard, and I cant explain to friends why is Apple so expensive either.

How do you explain to them that Huawei's own P30 Pro sells for several times what their Honor 9x sells for? Does Huawei need to explain that to the market too? We've seen high spec midrange phones that sold for a fraction of flagship prices for years but Apple has never attempted to go after that part of the market.

And I imagine if you wanted to you could compile a long list of iphone selling points besides privacy. For example, my wife's nearly two year old iphone 8 has a ST Geekbench score that's 50% higher than the Honor 9x (4228 vs 2832). Maybe that's part of why Gazelle will pay more for her phone today ($289, 64 gb) than the 9x retails for.
Most software is exportable to OFAC sanctioned companies under their rules.

In fact, it's possible to apply for an exemption to transact business with sanctioned countries. GitHub would probably have a good case for such an exemption and their parent company is already exempted to sell things like Microsoft Office to there.

> So what are you doing about it?

Vote! While there are some things I can do personally (some I do, others I can improve on) the largest changes will be politically driven, so I'll vote for parties the promise the best policies to reduce emissions, whatever they may be.

When you have major political parties lined with deniers it's not a hard decision with pros and cons to weight up.
"This has a limit, namely, that we who move in are going to vote to change things, and the only way bay area property owners can prevent that is to not get rich off their property by selling or renting it at sky-high prices to new residents."

This argument the two of you are engaged in would be more interesting and relevant, I think, if there were not a literal 50% off sale every 7-10 years in the bay area.

The busts will continue to come and the more you think "it's different this time" the closer we are to one. Conversely, I'll bet I could pick up print publications in the alternative press from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s wherein the same lamentations and accusations are leveled during the run-up to each peak.

I quote the lead article from the OP:

"... helplessness pervades many of my conversations with friends in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I lived for seven years ..."

To bypass unnecessary startup stuff.
And millions of men (and some unfortunate women) rejoiced at the news.

I've had a widow's peak[1] as long as I can remember, and as I get older, it gets slightly worse every year. It's such a part of my identity I can't even imagine having a full head of hair. This is "just how I look".

I never gave it much thought, except for the teasing in middle and high school (kids are mean). Except... except on Halloween a few years ago, when I put on a goofy wig, and I just kept getting compliments from people about how good I looked.

Be grateful for the hair you have! It's a huge advantage in the looks department. And before someone says "just shave it off bald is beautiful," I agree, except that some of us have oddly shaped heads due to the intensity of natural birth and even balding hair is better than no hair for those of us in that situation. :)

It was done as a requirement to comply with the laws of the United States[1] and insisting it's a free speech issue does not make it so. The United States government has no obligation to care about the collateral silencing of non-citizen speech in a foreign country subject to economic sanctions.

The government also has a mechanism where someone inadvertently impacted by sanctions can appeal to the Treasury Department and be granted an OFAC "license" that gives them permission to operate outside of the sanction(s). If the goal is to silence those who are subject to the sanctions that would be an odd way to do it.

As I said, I see two basic cases. In one, they're competitive. In the other, they aren't. I think general audience advertising is even less justifiable in the latter case.
So it affects even those who aren't Russian citizens (let's say Ukranian citizens) who live in Crimea?
Why do you say you could publish pro-soviet material in the USA during the cold war? My understanding is that this is not true.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism

> In 1952, the Supreme Court upheld a lower-court decision in Adler v. Board of Education of New York, thus approving a law that allowed state loyalty review boards to fire teachers deemed "subversive".

It had certainly cooled down from outright McCarythism by 1960 but nobody wanted to be accused of Soviet sympathies back then...
Deleting web pages and burning books is not the same thing as not providing banking services.
Glass scales for DRO are relatively inexpensive. The Bridgeport EZ-Trak I bought at work uses them in the servo system. So getting static accuracy is probably not too difficult, but the dynamic accuracy is a whole different can of worms.

I can’t remember who wrote the white paper, but it described “rounding a square”, and measuring how much tangential material was left over at the flats, as a test of dynamic accuracy.
Cryptographic implies math is used, which doesn't seem to be the case here.
There's one gotcha though with using a Debit card for car hire where you cannot access the money for the holding deposit until the hold is released. Learnt that the hard way.

With a credit card it's not money you intended to use so you don't care - unlike cash in your debit account.
Being realistic and admitting that C++ has tooling and packaging issues isn't being ignorant. Quite the opposite.

The fact that Header Only is one of the five bolded features of this project indicates that "modern C++ development" includes basically giving up on many desirable features of software projects. It's probably fair enough, but I wouldn't necessarily hold it up over other less "modern" designs like providing a C ABI, which you can still do with C++ using C++17, following basically all of CppCoreGuidelines in the implementation, using state of the art tooling, etc.
I feel like the San Francisco ice cream museum is like that. It’s ostensibly a museum about ice cream, but it’s basically just a whole bunch of really weirdly designed rooms that people take selfies in and post all over Instagram, Tinder, Facebook, everywhere. Apparently they made quite a bit of money doing it.
The TV series was great, btw.
GDPR also has a concept of "objection". Even if you opt in, you can later "object" which will allow you to remove your consent. Although, in general, I really like GDPR, we've actually had a bit of a problem with this because it's quite unclear what you should do if someone opts in, then objects and then opts in again. For example, we have an opt in for us contacting the customer by email (which we do for marketing purposes). The customer can easily "object" and we'll remove them from the list. However, people frequently want to resubscribe. They thought they didn't want the marketing information and later changed their minds. It's not clear to us if it's legal for us to resubscribe them. I've actually thought that it's better for us to offer a separate service for marketing and get people to subscribe to that service under contract basis just to avoid this problem. That way they can terminate the contract and if they want to resubscribe, it's a new contract. I'm rambling here, but one of the things that really surprised me is that we have this horrible popup asking users to subscribe to our newsletter. I always opposed it because it's super annoying. However we were looking at analytics and it appears that a very large proportion of our customer base only go to the website to sign up to the newsletter (we're unusual in that most of our business comes through our call centre). So the newsletter really is a service that our customers want... It's a weird world ;-)
Or we’re surprisingly bad…
“Force multiplication” is an intangible. If your salary depends on it, you’re depending on someone in management noticing that you’re “multiplying the force”, and that you’re willing to leave. It happens, but it’s rare, and usually occurs when people are great negotiators, or such an OG with the founding team that they’re like part of the corporate logo.

For most people, salary correlates with measurable influence, and there’s nothing more measurable than head count. So maybe you’re right about certain orgs, but I wouldn’t advise any young turks to bet on it.

Basically, every nerd thinks they’re gonna be Jeff Dean...but there’s only one Jeff Dean, and his job is taken.
He's not in the US, but in a town of 160K-odd people, with a very decent river running right through.

Water is indeed very cheap, but the main thing is that there's no metering. Metering is seen by some as taking away their rights, and possibly leading the elderly/poor to skimp on water and thus hygiene - so there is considerable resistance to water metering. It's not a sustainable position though (because of people like him :) and metering must arrive one day.

The problem is that Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is a lot easier to understand than any theory that was involved in any of the supposed revolutions. Reading false narratives will always be an easier route to gratification than reading actual knowledge.
That’s not good. But as with all things in life, you have to treat it proportionally to the impact as well as weigh it against other issues. Russian nationals (who, as of last week, Mueller was unable to convince a judge were tied to the Kremlin) buying Facebook ads to post memes of Jesus arm wrestling Satan is pretty damn low on my give-a-shit list.

All sorts of foreign nationals participate in our elections. They volunteer on campaigns. They appear as pundits on our news shows. Clinton’s campaign contracted with a foreigner (Steele) to dig up dirt.

The threat posed by China to the United States is 100x greater than Russia. Casting Russia as our greatest enemy rather than trying to find areas of mutual interest is a huge foreign policy misstep by the left in America.
If terrible software fail it's fault of vendor and blame goes to said software and vendor. If internal development team fail to deliver needed software it's always fail of IT manager who can be fired. It's all that simple.
jury probably still out, and no direct insight, but the overall incentives/philosphy driving acquisition for each could theoretically be drastically different (e.g. optimizing for openness, community, xyz instead of vendor size, ability to negotiate discounts, etc)

> If zoning restrictions are relaxed and developer turns an acre into a 50 unit condo complex, that developer reaps a huge windfall. But everyone else who owns an Eichler on a 1/4 acre has fewer buyers competing for their property.

That's not completely accurate. Yes, demand might fall, but even so price and value will still rise regardless.

If you build a 50 unit complex next door, as long as some of those 50 units sell, then everyone elses 1/4th acre will become more valuable, even if no one ever actually buys them, because land value in the US has very little to do with buyers or demand, and is exclusively valued by whatever property transactions happen to occur nearby it.
> Margrete Vestager is from a very liberal (as in free) party, and she’s pushing some of the toughest regulations on big tech companies that we’ve seen in years.

Then it's the illusion of freedom. Free when they declare freedom, but not when they don't.

Code doesn't have color, race or politics. It is something that brings us together and we have common ground over. We argue over whether it is good code or bad code.

The fact is embargoes do nothing to benefit anyone here. All it results in is less code being available.

Also it is the very thought control, ie a Government telling me how I will make my code available that annoys me.

I didn't vote my government in, and I don't particularly like it when that Government tells me I cannot communicate, or express my intellectual creations with the people that I want, just because I was born within it's borders.
Would've been nice if we called it Ukrainia in English from then on. It would make sense with the conventions for transliterating cyrillic country names.
Maybe Microsoft missed the point of it! I don't use github. I use Amazon CodeCommit.

The fact is, github adds value because it isn't "decentralized". And any organization that runs something will have people that disagree with it and/or government regulations it will need to follow.

git, however, it nicely distributed and you can host a repo anywhere you want and be discoverable through other means.
I'm indeed aware, but it doesn't change the conclusion, and I was trying to keep things consistent with the parent comment. All that does is reduce 89ms to 55ms.
Probably something to do with the ubiquity of cameras these days, as well. Anecdatally, I remember when my grandfather bought a Canon A-1 in the late 70s and it was A BIG DEAL. While lots of people had Polaroids and other low-level stuff, this was the equivalent of a prosumer camera, at the time and it was expensive for the time, too.

The slides he took were for his own amusement, and the family’s, just like most other people’s photos. They weren’t shared instantly with the world. That was very much a professional’s conceit.

Now, everyone with a phone has a camera that’s very high resolution and usually internet-connected. The cameras keep getting better (for no good reason that I can tell) while the phone itself remains relatively unchanged. Sure, it can run more apps, so it’s now pretty much a personal computer that incidentally includes a phone,, but because we feel the need to be always connected, we’ve always got a camera.

Consequently, everyone feels the need to overshare every moment of their life, as if they will somehow become important, or that we’ll magically care. It’s too cheap and it’s too easy to spam the world with the beautiful moments that, incidentally, are just like everyone else’s beautiful moments.

My grandfather had a probably almost-unique collection of all 250-plus courthouses of Texas at the time, without competing with anyone to get them, just because he thought it was a neat idea. Now, there are probably hundreds of that collection, produced by ridulously competitive amateurs who want to be Instagram-famous.
