A newer and better article on EVs in China: https://fortune.com/longform/electric-car-auto-industry-chin...

An interesting tidbit from this article:
"One direct result of the meltdown was the Obama administration’s 2009 economic-stimulus plan, which included billions of dollars in support for U.S. clean-energy industries. That spending plan caught the attention of Beijing. And it led, in 2009, to what Ouyang describes as a “strategic discussion at high levels” in the Chinese government about how the country should proceed with its own clean-technology push. China’s State Council, the country’s top policymaking body, ultimately announced nine “strategic” industries, one of which was electric cars."
Shrug - I've seen the other side of this.

The key point to remember is that college newspapers are generally not independent. It even mentions it in the article. Campus newspapers are funded by the college. It's also college staff who serve as the mentors/oversight, the college provides the space, offices, printing facilities, and equipment. The newspaper may use the college name, motto, crest, or other identifying information. Students may even earn course credit, so there is overhead with academic reports, metrics, and associated staff.

When campus newspapers are pressured by the college, it's not a first amendment issue. Just like HN has the legal right to moderate it's forum, so does the administration have the right to moderate a campus newspaper.

None of this matters if they are reporting on what's for for lunch, but what about when the paper starts to report on more sensitive issues? Topics like sexual assault, criminal activity, HR actions, etc. all carry significant liability and risk. Are they newsworthy, maybe, but even large institutional papers like the Washington Post or the New York Times makes mistakes on what or how something is reported. And, when one of those big institutional papers does get something wrong, they can be sued. Bad/irresponsible reporting has serious consequences both for the institution and the individuals involved.

Colleges treat campus papers as a learning opportunity. That said, If you screw up a coding assignment, it's a learning moment that doesn't really have any external impact. Journalism by definition has an external impact, and of course a college is going to be more risk adverse.

Im all for a robust and well executed campus newspaper, but if they want to be independent, they should be run as independent institutions with their own funding and resources.

I know it rubbed the student the wrong way, but ... welcome to the real world. No one is stopping the reporting of news. Anyone can fire up a blog, website or a podcast. Surprise, people don't like paying for things that make them look bad, or are potentially risky endeavors with little upside.

They finished building an LRT in Ottawa. They've been running totally empty trains on it for months. Clearly they must have built it for the illusion that they had rail transit.

(This is called reductio ad absurdum. The cause of the ghost cities, and these empty trains, are both more complex and more interesting from it. In the case of Ottawa, they were having issues getting the trains running properly on it, whether due to issues with the rails or the electrical lines or the railcars. It should be running publicly in a few weeks)
Same boat here. We ended up going with an ELK stack instead. Muchm much, more control and worked fine for us.
Maybe tech companies would contribute based on the extra money they can make. If Google can earn $5 for each additional user, they should be willing to pay 4.99 to create new users.

This is itself an indicator of your consumer profile. Many retailers that consider such consumers part of their target demographic handle it by listing the product at the higher price, but being liberal with discounts.

Those that aren't price conscious buy it at the listed price, and those that are price conscious shoppers will easily land upon a decent discount code. They even cycle through the promos in such a pattern that they hit most of the price conscious consumers with mediocre deals but still have reliably consistent fire-sale style discounts to draw in the super price sensitive.

It's such a tried and true strategy that even RetailMeNot, a site that's popular for price conscious shoppers, is actually owned by the advertising company Valassis (same company that sends out those weekly bundles of junk mail containing coupons and stuff, which most US readers should be familiar with receiving).
It was a shame it was taken down as quickly as it was: I think most of the teams were disappointed that they couldn’t get to play with it more.
Have you tried starting with a completely trivial solution to see if you have anyone targeting you at all? By trivial, I mean "write number four in this text field". If you get only full-auto spam bots, that should be enough.
Over a decade of military and then offensive CNE work, a quick tour around the private sector and then a decade of leading Chrome. I guess Chrome had a ton of security issues early on? I can't really think why they'd pick someone like this for directing Chrome and not Chrome security specifically. Even picking him for his contacts doesn't make sense - it's a free product, not much in the way of government contracts to land. And from a "mole" perspective, it'd make more sense to go to Project Zero anyway.

Also, genuine question: isn't it hard to go private sector if most of your resume is redacted? How do you convince employers that you're talented?
Certain methods of punishment don’t work for people with no assets. So if the city might fine someone with money a couple hundred bucks for urinating on a public building, the city won’t bother with a destitute addict as it’s not going to gain them money and might embarrass government officials. Here is a similar example https://www.thestranger.com/slog/2018/03/05/25878343/when-a-...

You say hi to a person. Maybe they say hi back, maybe they don't. If they don't, then leave them alone. If they do, say something else. That's "escalate a bit".

Of course you can't read minds, that's why you use things like language.

Of course the risk is high. You will get rejected a lot. So what if you bother them a bit? The chance you bother them a bit might be high, but the impact is low. It's not like pascal's wager where the risk of being wrong is eternal damnation. The impact of being bothered is basically nil.

How do you think people met before, in the decades between the industrial revolution and the internet?

What are the benefits

The LGBTQ crowd is benefiting tremendously from online dating.

People with weird health issues are benefiting tremendously from the ability to do research and safely talk to others with their condition, something that would be difficult or impossible to arrange and potentially quite dangerous to do in person due to cross contamination issues.

I'm not going to sit here and try to point-by-point rebut your points, but, man, what a gloomy, glass-half-empty point of view. There is zero attempt at all to be even-handed about it.
Perhaps that’s true, but don’t give them that much credit.

I did an internship in a state capitol in the 90s. One of the bizarre things were the elevator operators. The elevators were new, so these guys pushed buttons and accepted Christmas gifts for a living. They also eavesdropped and told people about interesting conversations... but their presence was patronage, not some grand scheme.

It’s not out of “fear of maybe inconveniencing someone”, it’s out of a sense of common courtesy.

There are plenty of social events that are appropriate for this sort of interaction. Running errands or just trying to go about your day is not one of those IMO, and if dozens of people accosted you per day you’d probably feel the same way.

Amazingly, they understand property boundaries as well as a surveyor. I was always astounded at the farm dogs I knew that would run up to the property line and bark at whatever, but not cross. They have an amazing sense for picking up territory cues from their owners.

You completely missed where I said outlawing aggregated storefronts, Netflix making their own content and being a distributor is against vertical integration laws, it's just not being enforced.

Because that law doesn’t exist.

If it did do you think that every media company could blatantly break that law and the government do nothing?

Microsoft selling their own product isn't an issue.

Microsoft also sells third party products that integrate with their offerings....

Your AWS example falls flat on it's face the product you're still buying is hosting, not an Elastic license.

That is also incorrect. AWS offers its own ElasticSearch hosted service where it can only offer the open source subset,

but ElasticCo also sells the full license through the AWS marketplace where they host the commercial version on AWS.

Ask HN: How to be less argumentative online?
Okay this might be a bit of an odd one, but here goes!

I've come to the realization that when I'm communicating online, particularly in chats, I'm really argumentative. It's like if someone writes something that I disagree with, I'm compelled to launch into a logical argument with them right there and then. I've realised it's a bad habit and I likely come across as boorish.

The weird thing is, I don't think I used to be like this. I love debate and hang around forums and HN a fair bit when online - maybe that's the issue? It's not that I actively want to 'prove someone wrong', but part of the way I learn is through argument; expressing my disagreement in the hope that the other person will prove me wrong and I might learn something.

So I'm throwing it out there to the HN community - anyone else in the same boat? How did you deal with it and break the habit?
That is a pretty daft dog.
>The fact that you go from one no-context quote to "silencing conservative perspectives" is not good. Please keep thinking critically

You are not an asshole, but... There is a big difference in pricing and revenue of internet providers in USA and in lets say Africa. In USA mobile providers have ARPU of 30-40$ per user or so while in Aftica it will hover around 1$ (in some countries a more in some even less). It makes networks barely profitable and unwilling to expand to more rural or poor areas because it will hurt bottom line.

> It rings true to me, at least in CS and especially software engineering. In mathematics, physics and "real engineering" departments I haven't seen it at all, though, and my experience may date me.

Ah - yes. My friends at uni doing physics said they had to learn C++ - but only enough to write simple C-style programs and using simple classes without going into OOP design, design patterns, and large-scale concerns (I guess because they were all using some physics tool, and I understand it's good for interfacing with Fortran too).

My friends doing EE (excluding those doing embedded work) said they all had to do Matlab, some friends doing mathematics reported the same. EE people also said they did some C too.
Samsung is making a killing on selling OLED screens to both Huawei and Apple - I guess they figured it's easier and more profitable this way than to try re-conquer a saturated market.
If you bundle functions and data, you end up implementing M functions each on N types, or M*N. If you can separate your functions and your data, you implement M functions and N types, or M+N. This is an explicit design goal of the STL and Stepanov's research that led to it.

Similarly, Stepanov was explicitly trying to be able to write a polymorphic max function `T max(T a, T b)`. That is, the instance of the max function actually used is chosen based on all the arguments, not solely on the first, which is the definition of multiple dispatch.

C++ also has a single dispatch object system, and the STL even mixes them, putting things like vector::push on the class with the single dispatch system and the STL algorithms in the multiple dispatch system.
Your question brings to light some of the deep flexibility current shells allow with a very terse syntax. At least from Nu you can accept and process the output of your script.

As an aside, your one liner is having to process every file twice, even ones that have already been excluded by the other ripgrep... something like this should be more performant:

This should be more troubling than dwindling forest and marshland.
This article argues against the premise that the power and “deep pocket” of the Chinese state can overcome problems that the market cannot solve when left alone, but misses the forest for the trees. Obviously China doesn't attempt this category of infrastructure projects because they have to make immediate economic sense. They tackle them for political and long term geostrategic purposes. Some side benefits are that it's cheaper than US-style global military hegemony, far more permanent, and more readily accepted by populations. For example our local project https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HKZMB cost USD$18.8B which is less than twelve days of the current US military budget of USD$1.65B per day, a lot cheaper and more acceptable than invading Hong Kong and effectively the crown jewel and literal gateway to one of the most populated areas and busiest shipping lanes on the planet. Plus bragging rights. See also impressive road and rail infrastructure through Yunnan, rail to Tibet and Southeast Asia, etc.
Humans already colonised most of the Earth in the Paleolithic, using the minimal technology of hunter-gatherers.
This is what I try to do as well, and it works so well; it's very motivating to know that you have a comfortable starting place to come to in the morning. Another thing I've started to do whenever I don't necessarily have a bug is to just run our entire suite of unit tests. We are usually pretty good about keeping everything green across the board so it almost never results in anything worth fixing, but just typing _something_ is more often than not enough to get me into working on the next story or whatever.

For anyone interested, Christopher Alexander was a huge influence on Ward Cunningham and Kent Beck. You can draw a fairly straight line from Alexander's ideas to new stuff like wiki, Extreme Programming, design patterns, refactoring, etc.

I seriously doubt the Swedes 'throw people in jail'. Their social policy in general is very much the other way. Their prison sentances will be 10-30% as long as US ones for comparable offences.

In terms of drugs Norway and Sweden have traditionally not had much drugs - mainly because they are a long way from anywhere.

Thanks. Although I suspect more people might donate if they felt their donation helped 100 kids at a school, vs 1 kid at home. The "huge difference" might not be obvious, and I don't think it was in your FAQ.

It might be a fun experiment to let donors choose either school or individual.

So end zoning restrictions and build more. It’s just a supply issue. We haven’t sufficient housing for decades as demand has increased, pushing up prices. I think locals know exactly what they’re doing and are fine with it since their homes are likely a significant portion of their net worth.
What were the scandalous bits?
Never heard of a dog running free outside? So strange to me! I grew up with a pet dog. She wasn't allowed in the house, and mostly just ran around our unfenced property (we lived on an acre fairly rurally), and probably off it to some extent, but I'm not really sure. She had a food bowl that we'd keep filled, and water. She'd often run up to us when we were outside, and we'd pet her and she'd wag her tail. Then she'd either follow us around until we went back inside or drove away, or she'd just wander off on her own.

I remember thinking it was so weird and gross when I first heard about people letting their dogs inside!
My comment misspellings would give me away in a heartbeat.

You don't need to modify that data. The methods can produce other objects in which case OOP starts to look very functional, the main difference being that you lead with the data (a.to_foo() instead of food(a)). There's a lot of different definitions of OOP and some of that is willy nilly state modification everywhere, but other parts of it are encouraging you to see what data is coupled together and to treat that as a unit, therefore helping you think at a higher level about what you're doing.

>Im all for a robust and well executed campus newspaper, but if they want to be independent, they should be run as independent institutions with their own funding and resources.

Some schools are better than others, at different times, staying hands off but you're absolutely right that running as independent institutions is preferable.

Unfortunately, this is probably impractical for the typical college daily/whatever frequency which has grown up with an expectation of student activity offices/funding/promotion/etc.

Some independent campus newspapers exist but they're hard to maintain over long periods of time and probably depend on unique circumstances. It is possible but it's the exception. (Source: I've been on the board of one.)
