That's the point - it's a propaganda win, not a technical achievement in any way. Not to belittle the symbolic importance of it, but cmon - first dog murdered by being launched in a rocket, first time running two manned missions at the same time, first nap in space - a large proportion of the Soviet "firsts" were just low-complexity stunts.

One of the last major "firsts" was "first organisms to circle the moon" - they barely squeaked this one in a few months before Apollo 8, and they accomplished it by shoving some tortoises into a Soyuz (no food or water required!).

>...until they come up a Democracy.

The United States has been pushing countries heads underwater "until they come up a democracy" for, what, 60 years now? We don't exactly have a track record of success - far from it. In the most recent iterations, the countries in question have spiraled into abject chaos, from which they are just now (barely) emerging. I would really hate to see what a chaotic China would look like, and indeed how that regime would behave if they truly felt like they had nothing left to lose. "Democracy at all costs" has become this very dangerous ethos, that needs to have it's day in court.

>but there are people getting the shit kicked out of then right now for peacefully protesting in favour of democracy.

So what. People get the shit kicked out of them in actual democracies for protesting all the time. Follow this through to its logical conclusion in China, and the body count gets a lot higher than a few skull fractures and broken bones.

I'm not sure about this one. One of America's virtues is that she tries to play by the rules (emphasis on "tries", though). It's why we follow the Geneva Conventions. I really, really don't like China, but I also have a bit of a visceral reaction to the "two-wrongs-make-a-right" mindset that seems to underlie this statement.

However, the question also becomes important: if China stole American IP to develop these patents, does she have any right to them? I'd analogize this to the legal precedent of "fruit of the poisonous tree". This precedent states that cops can't raid your home without a warrant, find evidence, and use it against you: they obtained that evidence in an illegitimate fashion, so it's no longer valid. I could rationalize that if China stole our tech to develop hers, she has no right to that tech in the first place.
Thanks for the work! It is appreciated. Writing is an industry I've been peripherally involved in for decades and certainly needs the visibility. And poorly funded at the coal face, so we need volunteer efforts; nobody is going to fund an impartial professional effort.
The JCPOA was not signed by the US, so it is hard to understand how it is 'violating' the agreement. The US has a process for obligating the country to observe treaties and agreements. Treaties and agreements become binding only upon Senate ratification. That didn't happen.
Oh I don't wonder :) After a few years experience with analysis you sometimes see certain patterns in papers which strongly suggest bugs you've experienced, phenomenon in the data set you're already familiar with, and hacking/overfitting. And some of the languages are specifically designed to keep running and produce wrong results rather than crash and abort: a cynical man might say this is a feature not a bug and that's why they're popular.

> States don't have beliefs. Individual people have beliefs.

Yeah, so states aren't detached from human beliefs at all. A state doesn't exist independent of people, and so we must view states through the lens of the beliefs of the people running them. There's no state seperate from human belief, so to say states don't "have" beliefs is nonsense.

> ... Western civilization is supposed to be ...

Says who? From what epic poem are these tenets and conflicts derived? It certainly isn't from Rome circa 500 AD, when it was against the law to even write the beliefs of another faith down. So where is it from? That's the point. It's mythological - these tenets and conflicts are derived from nowhere, nothing, and no-one. There's nowhere to point and say "this is definitely 100% characteristic of the West", because "the west" is a made up concept, which has an indistinct meaning.

And, if you think you can point to a particular state and say it's emblematic of the west, that clashes with your claim that only individuals can have beliefs :)
Ask HN: Alternative Data to Google Search (Brainstorm)
I was inspired by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20440079 thread regarding building a new search index. Technically it is feasible with CommonCrawl + cloud map reduce jobs. Clearly, you would be killed if you build google search, but I started thinking what kind of alternative data that you could build which could be valuable.

Here's some of my ideas:

- Ecommerce products ranking based on backlinks.

- Competitor analysis - most linked pages, total backlinks

- Most common scripts installed - you can see trending in integrations such as react, fb, intercom, etc. ( already been done, i know )

Comments? Any more ideas?

Most every province seems to have some sort of provincial nominee program in place for granting permanent residence. They're just not usually designed for investors.

I agree that he's doing a better job, and I think it might actually be for the right reasons. That said, I'm not sure he states why he actually does it. He ought to be starting a trade war with China because she is an unethical colonialist would-be power which has violated numerous treaties to which she is a signatory. She has proven herself a threat to political and individual sovereignty. I would absolutely support the idea of sanctioning her for such actions, but I think Trump doesn't spin his actions that way because it does not fit with his brand of populism. And though he's doing better, that's honestly a pretty low bar. I'm still embarrassed we let them into the WTO in the first place. I remain honestly hopeful we don't reach a trade deal until China rights her wrongs.

And to those who would say, "but sovereignty though!", I would respond that we are free as Americans to vote with our wallets. If we wish to choose with whom we do business, that is our right.

Thanks for clarifying your position.

I agree that we could build 2,000 year structures when we intend to. I wouldn't be surprised if some of our nation-scale works like the Hoover Dam last that long. The Long Now foundation is even trying to build something that lasts for 10,000 years.

But I disagree that there's no secret to be discovered in Roman concrete. Materials science involves a lot of guess-and-test work and luck, and there's no harm in exploring whether the ancients might have had better luck with some of their guesses.

I agree with both of you. It's not helpful to not know the context and the op wasn't necessarily in control of it. But at the same time if you are someone in control of the context (which you aren't really if you are a line level employee) you should be aware this is a bad pattern. If you are a line level employee and this is being imposed on you for some reason or other you should sound an alarm if you know to "hey, for the record - this is a monumentally bad idea - just saying".

I've seen plenty of stuff in my career where I've gone on record to say "hey - we really shouldn't do this". Nothing got done about it. But hey, I did what I could.

Recently I learned about Rasmussen's dynamic safety model. I think this is a very handy mental model to have. It's the human factors that make what we do really hard. Often line level practitioners know better than they are allowed to do in practice and trying to fight organizational politics to Do The Right Thing can be an uphill battle.
Yes, he doesn't communicate well.

Teslas just have a gearshift lever. that's it. I have never driven a car with as few controls as the Teslas. ICE cars have the idea of on and off. With the tesla (s/x), you approach the car, the car wakes up as you near, you get in, move the gear lever into drive or reverse and that is the only control you touch.

I do disagree about the internal silence. The teslas are supremely silent inside (aside from A/C fan noise) and it is magical and modern. I have driven electric cars with added internal noise, and it really cheapens the experience.

External silence is a moot point with new laws.
Likewise, I'm a NASA contractor and I heard of exactly one person leaving after the shutdown. Granted anecdata isn't proof of anything, but it's clear that wasn't any kind of mass exodus.

I went through the program (I'm a PR now).

It takes many years, and then many years again to get citizenship. You have to work, etc. It's not even close to the same as the old "investor" program which was literally buy citizenship if you are rich.
It's interesting how synthetics were mostly lumped together and largely undifferentiated. To be fair, that post is over 5 years old and some seemingly significant advances in fabrics for consumer garments have become widely available in the meantime.

I've personally come to feel cotton is vastly over-rated as a clothing material for anything but cost-saving goals (which certainly is an important factor.) Of course there's the old adage "Cotton Kills", referring to cold weather, but it's also miserably subpar for hot conditions for some of the same reasons: as it absorbs sweat the fibers swell and reduce the fabric's breathability, leading to increased body heat retention. You may be inclined to think a wet fabric aids in cooling but that effect is short lived once evaporation can't keep up with the addition of more perspiration and air movement slows to almost none. And that's before we even get into the resulting bacterial overgrowth, AKA body odor, for which cotton is notoriously awful at mitigating.

So, anyhow, if you have the time, means, and inclination, I highly recommend looking at newer fabric alternatives like lyocell (typically found as the branded names of Tencel, Modal, or Viscose).

And you should always consider merino wool and hemp, which are most often found combined with a synthetic or two, typically for improved elasticity and shape retention, but also for increased comfort since they are both not historically known for their softness. Wool is in many ways the holy grail of fabrics (for reasons which you can find in fantastic detail online) and the relatively new variant of merino only improves on a well-earned reputation. Whereas hemp, despite reigning as the indisputable champion of strength and durability for literally thousands of years in non-clothing applications, has recently seen a resurgence thanks to various factors, notably improvements in comfort. (That said, my personal experience with hemp clothing has shown that it still leaves something to be desired in the area of real world durability, from the perspective of the several various pieces of clothing I've owned--mostly shirts, plus a couple pants--starting in the late 1990s and purchased as recently as 2019.)
Critiques like this are utterly unhelpful. If you truly believe the Republicans are insane then try turning your efforts to neutralizing them instead of wagging your finger at the people making an effort to improve things, however inadequate. They're working on small things both to raise public awareness and because that's all that's possible while the other major party is detached from reality but still wields most of the power at the national level. You don't have much political capital to make a difference as an individual (like most of us) so complaining about limited progress is a net negative.
> Even a large order won't "move" the market by itself

Certainly, the market moves when two parties agree on a price, so one order doesn't move the market by itself; however, a large order in combination with normal market behaviors will result in the market moving higher.

When you buy the book, the market makers are going to replace their sell limit orders at higher prices. If you have a lot more shares to buy, you're going to buy out those too. If you've done a fair bit of buying this way, and market makers had been selling short, they're going to want to buy to cover, which adds to or sustains the price increase.

This price movement isn't great for the institution or the market makers.

Market makers would rather trade against retail investors -- they don't make a lot of large trades, so they don't move the markets very much, and there's not the same risk of getting run over.

Institutional investors would rather trade in ways they can get a fair price without influencing the price -- if they can find counterparties to trade with on a volume weighted average price basis, they prefer that -- or they try to structure their orders to avoid hitting the market all at once.
Heard from who? That doesn't match my observations from the inside.

I was never happy with the way docker was designed - it tried to steal too much work from the operating system. Docker should never had logging framework not should it be a daemon+client talking over socket, creating permission, indirection and async problems.

Docker is straigh hostile to systemd, tried to bite part of its responsibilities and does not cooperate with it in many parts.

If you want to run a docker image as a system service, its much easier to do that with podman - the docker image will inherit the system.limits and will behave like a Type=simple service with proper start/stop control and logging.

--
add: worth noting, that podman and buildah are very alike "docker" and "docker build" up to the point that you can do alias docker="podman" and can expect all the docker features work. they consume the same docker files, they build the same OCI images and can use the same registries. trying podman/buildah/scopeo really got me thinking - where's the moby inc. business? how can they commercialize a commodity?

In a previous life when I wore suits to work on a frequent basis, I got interested in this topic and spent way too much time learning about it. I now have a closet full of quality clothes that I wear much less frequently, but, for whatever it's worth, they'll last me the rest of my life.

There's a lot of good info in this article, but there's also a lot more beyond it. For example, it mentions (accurately) that the fineness of cotton and wool fibers is an indicator of its quality, but the fiber length is a greater indicator of quality. Unfortunately, cotton and wool products are frequently marketed according to their fiber diameters (e.g., "800 thread count bed sheets" and "Super 100s" wools for suits), but you will never see the fiber length listed. You need to either be able to feel the fabric to assess its fiber length (something that I was never really able to do well) or rely on the recommendation of someone else who can. It's like saying that a network link has 10Gb bandwidth but failing to mention its 100ms minimum latency.

Another item that they mention that is frequently misunderstood is that there are different types of fabrics, especially wools. Just because a specific type of wool such as merino is mentioned doesn't mean that it's good quality. There is both junk merino and excellent merino. Just because it came from a merino sheep doesn't mean it's great. The same goes for cashmere, alapaca, angora, mohair, camel, etc. It's like saying that it's an SSD rather than a 7200rpm HDD. The former is almost certainly better, but there are still a wide range of SSD characteristics to be evaluated.

Yet another item is that while it is true that expensive clothes are not necessarily high quality clothes, it is almost always the case that high quality clothes are expensive. Or rather, they're expensive upfront but often turn out to be more economical over the life of the garment. In either case, they will be more pleasant to wear than a lower quality alternative.

And the Last item, since I could go on indefinitely about this, is that garment quality should be assessed on three axes -- quality of materials, quality of construction, and fit. If the first is lacking, the garment's material will pill, rip, fray, or just plain wear out too fast. If the second if lacking, it will fall apart too soon. If the last is lacking, it will be uncomfortable and look bad on you. The trick is, of course, to find garments which have all three.
I'm not sure e2e-encrypted applications can be reasonably expected to handle this. The bytes they are transmitting are effectively not copywritten, and cannot be deciphered into copywritten information without something which the company does not have. I could also see a huge increase in client-side processing requirements due to this, meaning this could translate to substantial financial loss and an undue burden.

Only in part. Section B @ page 21 is the Court outlining their reasoning under the Second Restatement of Torts which has been adopted in some form or another in most states. The court could have ended with the Pennsylvania four-factor analysis but the ruling would have definitely been limited in scope. Instead, the 3rd Circuit has anticipated this case going to the Supreme Court and went through the effort of detailing the logic for a SCOTUS ruling that would hold Amazon accountable beyond the boundaries of Pennsylvania as well.
