I have seen critics of the administration saying that it was stupid to get angry at China because of the trade balance. That there were legitimate causes to get angry though: IP legislation and spying.

I may be an attempt at making a decent case, but yeah, the bullying rhetoric muddy this issue.

And that's really a dangerous slope for US to go in. If they make spying on their neighbors a criterion to impose tarrifs, I am sure Europe would be happy to push some obligations on the GAFA
That's kind of my point, that they have different tradeoffs, although I do not hide my preference for explainability (or model soundness). :-) The example you give reminds me of Chomsky and Norvig debate on the topic.
A few points on that.

1) Totally agree that Uber will not be the manufacturer of the first wave of true AVs. That's likely to be whichever manufacturer Waymo is partnered with in a few years.

2) The value you assign to AV-enabled Uber is going to be related to whatever value you assign their brand name, gathered data, platform maturity, mindshare, marketing ability, and cash pile. It's technically not all that difficult to spin up a competing dispatch service to Uber, but it is difficult enough and capital intensive enough that there are very few competitors in most markets. Notably absent are the potential AV manufacturers who would basically be starting from scratch unless they grabbed Lyft at a discount or something.

3) It's important to define what "soon" means and what scope you're talking about when making predictions about AVs. Waymo is legitimately looking like they will be ready to launch true driverless vehicles for taxi service in select markets and conditions in under 5 years.

Given the above, the question is can Uber last long enough burning cash every quarter and still remain a market force by the time it's in a position to leverage AVs? I don't think so, but I'm also not shorting the stock.
You doubt the intelligence of a billion people country because they build their own OS while the Americans ban them from using theirs?
The Creative Compulsions of OCD
Soybeans are literally a commodity. Some third country will just buy the US soybeans and sell them to China.

Edit: Commodities are fungible. They are things like gold, pork bellies, soybeans, and so on where there is no meaningful difference based on where they were produced. Buyers from some third country will buy soybeans from the USA, relabel them as originating in their country, and flip them to China for a profit. Trade circumvention is nothing new[1]. The US seller doesn't even have to be complicit, once they deliver to the third party they have no control over the labeling and they're not liable to care much either.

Edit: Regarding 5G hardware: "The basic idea is that there is little differentiation between a commodity coming from one producer and the same commodity from another producer. A barrel of oil is basically the same product, regardless of the producer. By contrast, for electronics merchandise, the quality and features of a given product may be completely different depending on the producer."[2] So, no, 5G hardware is not a commodity.

To figure out Uber's core business economics look at Lyft's Contribution Margin which rose to 46%. Uber's, which includes a lot more immature markets, went back positive to around 9%.

ie, core business prints money.
I've lived in various places in Europe (most recently Eindhoven) with large car-free areas. Car-free only applies to folks who have no mobility issues. The areas are all fully driveable (in the early mornings delivery vans and trucks are all over) usually with electronic pylons or gates as blocks. Folks with mobility issues can drive in. I often hear the question from North Americans - but again, car free is not a punishment but a reward. It is actually safer for folks with mobility issues because there are massive pedestrian areas with limited/no curbs and no cars.

China rescheduled fentanyl in response to Trump on May 1st.

One month later: "Most fentanyl is now trafficked across US-Mexico border, not from China"

Because Mexico is importing fentanyl precusors from China and taking over distribution like everyone predicted. Not much more China can do, you can't exactly ban basic chemistry.

That's not true. For example, homotopy type theory is apolitical.

> Judgements like "I'd expect dev to write it themselves" come across as arbitrary.

I feel like this depends on the type of dev. If you write C code for microcontrollers then who cares, but if you do web dev then using a generic template not authored by you seems like a bad sign, no?
I was honestly expecting a website where I could play the card game in various configurations..

Completely agree -- I didn't hear about it either until this post -- and I'm in an area of the country where this would be important news.

But that's the problem with so much noise, when there is a sliver of signal, it just gets lost.
Js tooling might've come a long way, but it's still a huge and confusing mess. It's not even possible to prune libraries reliably when you're packaging the code. Meanwhile, ClojureScript compiler will automatically prune any unused code down to function level, and it provides predictable minifcation out of the box. You also don't have to deal with NPM which has a major vulnerability every few months.

Why would courts care? Student loans are not dischargable, because the student loan creditor lobbied to make sure they get laid. The replacement creditor has not.

Of course, there is no lender who is going to give a an unsecured loan the size of your substantial student debt to someone with said loans and no other assets, for obvious reasons.

I'll have a go at addressing this...

My assessment of that thread is the same as it always is when a thread gets a huge number of comments: sentiment fits a roughly normal distribution, with the mean position being something approximating "this is a really difficult question and either course of action has significant risks and pitfalls", and every step away from the mean point of view placing increasing importance on one particular aspect and decreasing importance on the other aspects.

If that weren't the case, there wouldn't be a huge number of comments, as we would quickly find consensus and move on to the next topic.

If you look at the top three root comments on this thread:

- The first one [1] points out that different standards are applied between 8chan vs Facebook/Twitter/etc, and disagrees with Cloudlfare's decision on free speech grounds. But then many people disagree and debate this position.

- The second one [2] asks a neutral question about Cloudflare's exposure to legal liability for content on its platform if it is making decisions about what content is allowable or not. Then people discuss that question.

- The third one [3] acknowledges the complexity of the topic, devoting each of the first two paragraphs to what the writer considers to be almost-equally meritorious but opposing points of view, then concludes that on balance the Cloudflare decision is right. But then many people disagree and debate that position.

To properly answer your challenge, one would have to examine all 1400+ comments and classify them by their level of support for/against the Cloudflare decision, which is somewhere between impractical and impossible.

But from my scanning through the comments, I don't see any "prevailing" or "overwhelming" position emerge, and I see many of the commenters wrestling with the inherently vexed nature of the issue.

Statistics is good for modelling things that are simplistic & low dimensional. Machine learning is good for modelling things that are nuanced & high dimensional.
statisticians want to understand things but imho overestimate human ability to make sense of a complex world. machine learning people want the machine to understand the things for us and then teach us about it when it's making us breakfast.
I am at once awed by the level of work that goes into a really good typeface, and also astounded that this still seems to be a difficult sort of terrain that people are not just willing, but positively excited to summit. Why go to the trouble when your font is only going to be seen by a small number of people and used by even less? Are you really having any ideas that haven't been had already in plenty of other fonts? Will your extra 0.001% tweak to readability make life easier for 0.001% of people that read something written in it?
I actually worry more about the other threat implied by your use of dynamically inserting kompromat in a message.

Imagine sending emails like that at scale in key voting districts. Sure it would get shut down. Substantial, irrevocable damage could still be done in the form of voter suppression.

Sugar in Your Diet How to Cut Down Your Intake for an Effective Diet
There are practically a number of reasons why there is a need for you to cut down the sugar in your diet. There is a need for you to restrict your intake of sugar each day especially if you are suffering from diabetes. It is also a known fact that too much sugary food and candies can lead to obesity and weight gain. There are diets that focus on limiting your intake of it, such as the South Beach and Atkins.

Here are some tips that will help you cut down your intake of sugar Learn to read the labels You learn to become of the amount of sugar present in the food that you are eating. You learn to compare foods and ask yourself which the healthier choice is. You will discover that fat-free foods are not all good for you. Read the labels and you will learn to see the differently about the food that you are about to eat.

Cut down on your intake of carbs Pastas, bread, and foods made with refined flour may prove to be your worst enemies. Substitute these foods with whole wheat products instead.

Vary the foods in your diet Search for foods that are grouped according to a food group but differ in the content of nutrients. One trick to choosing such variants is by shopping by color. Foods that differ in color means that they have different nutritional value. Cut down on the intake of soda - These beverage contain a lot of sugar and has high content of fructose. There were some studies that showed that a soda a day will make you add fifteen pounds a year. They also tend to make you thirsty more often because of the caffeine content.

>Exxon and other energy companies knew as long ago as 30 years that carbon emissions were becoming perilous to the planet.

This is ridiculous.

No one knew about climate change 30 years ago. A small number of scientists were aware of the possibility of climate change - it took some 30 years of research, heavily dependent on modeling capability which was only really unlocked in the last decade or so, to come to any sort of alarmist consensus, not to mention less than 30 years ago the consensus was one of global cooling.

Sure, in hindsight, it all seems obvious, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and we're talking about terraforming a planet on the scale of 100 years. You'd be crazy to believe in such a thing without some hard data to back that up.

Meanwhile let's ignore that society, globally, has advanced - technologically and socially - on the back of petroleum fuel. We all may be paying a price, but we are all partaking in the reward.

Frankly I wouldn’t put it past Rossmann to make up that anecdote about the Genius suggesting they buy a new computer. That’s just not how Apple works in my experience.

As to your second point, I’ve had only positive experiences with them with repairs both in and out of warranty. However some of that may be because I always buy at an Apple store, rather than at third parties, because doing so gives their systems more visibility into the detailed history of the specific item I buy, and thus they have more leeway and discretion to solve problems in very nice ways. It’s likely that many horror stories you’ve heard are dramatized after the fact by people who went for a sketchy discount purchase and want someone to blame. People do lie, and liquid damage is a real thing.

Extreme inconvenience for who/what you are protesting, inconveniencing the average Joe is counter productive and will turn them against you.

You're right though, apart from in some mythologized version of the Indian independence movement peaceful protest has never done jack. You need to throw your body on the gears and the levers etc.
With fractional reserve banking it is even better, as credit effectively creates money out of thin air. This increases the overall supply of money in an economy, so banks can make money from other sources when that money is spent (e.g. credit card processing fees).

The loans are considered assets of the bank, so still increases it's value. And if the loan ends up in an account on their books (there's not that many banks in Denmark), they can then loan out that money again minus the fraction they need to hold.
The ECB is more like at -0.4%. Outrageous.

My wife's school had a social media policy 10 years ago. She wasn't allowed to upload any picture with a child in it unless she had explicit permission from every child's parent to upload that particular photo. Permission had to be requested for every photo.

She was allowed to have a private photo site that all of the parents in the class had access to, and upload photos there. The parents were not supposed to re-share those, but some did.

I'm still not convinced someone couldn't build a better gmail.

The web app is bloated and slow. The ads. The awkward design. Privacy issues. There's a bunch of benefits someone could offer. Fastmail tried but I still think it could be better and not based in Australia where privacy has been eroded.

The barrier to entry for doing categorization, spam detection, search, autosuggestions, and even complex JS frontends is significantly lower than it's ever been. You could even offload some of the above challenges to the client with prepackaged ML models. The spam filtering stuff could even be open sourced and community run like Adblockers. Abuse could still be handled server side.

The website isn't representing their work, the portfolio within is. There's the opportunity cost of the construction vs pre-built. I write smart tv applications for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, etc. I'm not a web dev nor do I pretend to be one. However, I would like videos and descriptions of my work displayed in the nicest way possible, like this. If every dev had to only use the code which only they created, this entire industry would grind to a halt. All of these criticisms about looking down on people using the same theme for a portfolio site just sends up all kinds of flags about their understanding of the software industry in general, and their hiring practices / company culture. I'm guessing many of you "can't find good devs" or keep devs for very long. It's like judging a job applicant on their tie instead of their resume.
