I agree, let's look at the article itself and what it means by "China's World". It writes about two main dimensions, economic and military.

>Nations have always competed economically, but the U.S.
>and China are engaged in direct battle over the world’s
>economic life force: technology.

Taiwan has an independent intellectual property system and it's firms hold their intellectual property close. While they do have extensive assembly facilities on the mainland, much of their most specialised facilities are on the island or abroad outside China, see TSMC for example. I don't think it's reasonable to include Taiwan's companies with mainland China in this way.

>..a goal that China expert Graham Allison of Harvard says
>includes being “unambiguously No. 1,” with a military
>“that can take on and defeat all adversaries.”

Taiwan has an independent government and it's own military which is well armed and lined up in direct opposition to the PROC military, which is permanently poised to annex the island on command. There is no justification for including Taiwan with China when calculating military capability.

So the premise of the actual article argues against including Taiwan with mainland China when calculating it's economic strength.

For what it's worth, PureScript is much more complex than Elm. I see people recommend it, but I don't see people actually use it nearly as much as Elm (not that Elm is super widely used, of course). I do agree that the biggest thing Elm needs is to open up development, break down the "dictatorship" as you put it, and accelerate the pace rapidly.

The article is interesting, but only touches on the very tip of a very large iceberg, and your comments are spot on.

This issue has been a central one in psychology for decades, especially in clinical psychology. There are many variants of the problem, with lots of corollary problems.

Once central challenge is that even when you say you are interested in inferences about an individual, you usually actually evaluate your inferential strategy across individuals. This becomes problematic because it's easy to identify a serial killer post hoc; it's harder to avoid the inevitable avalanche of false positives if you apply this to thousands or tends of thousands of individuals regularly. In this way, you're not actually interested in one single individual; it becomes critical to be really clear about what your inferential population is, and what you're actually trying to generalize to.

Like you're pointing out, a lot of this too reduces to the significant challenge of knowing which predictive model to use, when you're effectively faced with thousands, if not an infinite range of models (one for each person/situation) to choose from. You might improve your prediction by using a more tailored model for an individual, but then you increase the risk of model selection error. Even if you have a lot of data on a person, they will probably change, circumstances will change, and so forth. The challenge is in knowing how to decide which model to use and when, when to decide that a particular predictive case is an exception.

This is sometimes known as the "broken leg" problem in clinical psych, so called because of a thought experiment in which you're tasked with predicting commuting behavior. You might have volumes of data on people, even individual people, but if you know that someone suddenly breaks their leg, or there is some other anomalous event, it compels you to logically alter your prediction. The trouble arises in knowing when to shift your prediction, when a scenario is different enough from that under which your default predictive model was developed. In the age of big data, you might be able to capture an increasing variety of scenarios, but there will always be cases that are not sufficiently captured, or where logic impels one to switch predictive strategies. But how do you do that?

I personally think what's undervalued is a focus on predictive uncertainty rather than the point value of the prediction. That is, realistically capturing and recognizing the true uncertainty in prediction for individuals, rather than improving the accuracy in prediction itself, which might actually have some fundamental limit.

I fail to see how an operating system causes 2 or 3 decades of divergent software engineering to coalesce. That's only probable if numerous components descend from the operating system group in an architectural style that is unified, congruent, and global. That's way beyond the bounds of what we traditionally call operating systems. You are more likely to wind up with a cargo cult.
I think it's appropriate to have a bias toward hostility when a large company makes a large claim, because they've got the legal resources to win basically any dispute once they have a foothold.

> I can call a music producer "Apple"

Even if you could, it would likely be a legal pain in the ass. Apple fought over using the letter "i" as a prefix to product names.

Might as well start fighting as soon as a large company even tries to claim something with a public-domain vibe.
I have also worked in the infotainment space, now in powertrain space. It seems that the infotainment teams seems to be 2x to 3x the size of a typical automotive engineering team.

Sometimes, I feel that infotainment products are more subjective than the other car functions. eg, Does that "ding" sound notification reflect the values of our brand vs Can the maximum power be transferred to the rear wheels in the snow within 300ms, subject questions vs objective questions. Subjective questions needs more study and analysis, leading to more engineers.
Because of control.

Wealth and income are easier to control than what you describe. So the society is built around worshiping and paying certain figures so everyone else gets caught up in this loop in hopes of getting where these mediatic figures are.
This is purely sloppy. Dealt with a similar issue on a UAV project. We elected to check for a gps time (which fails if, e.g. indoors), and fall back to os system time, with a note in the logs. It can't do anything mission critical without gps anyway, so this only even shows up in dev/debug settings.
> In my opinion, none of those things should be contingent on being paid. At least at a minimum level, it should be possible to eat nutritious food, have homely and comfortable shelter, fresh water, warmth, clothing, medical care, everything you need to survive and thrive, just because you're human and society is not barbaric.

Where does the food come from? Where does the shelter come from? Where does the heat and the clothes and the medical care come from? They come from other people's labor. Why would other people agree to labor in order to provide these things to you while you provide nothing in return?
A big driver not mentioned is differentiation in the market, now that the trend is for platform sharing across manufacturers. Essentially the same car being sold by several different manufacturers with the only differences being the badge on the back and things like the infotainment system fitted. By carving out a big ecosystem early they’re getting a head start in that area.

In the case of either the 2 strings being bowed vs the 1 string, there is an actual underlying reality, that can not be deduced from the limited information available in the sound, so any guess risks being an illusion (with probability 50%).

iOS dev here. Applications do not have access to this kind of info. The CoreBluetooth API generates UUIDs for the Bluetooth devices in an attempt to anonymise them. Many manufacturers workaround this by including the MAC Address on the manufacturer data structure when it's imperative that an application knows exactly which bluetooth device it's talking to.

It's even more likely that China will switch to a higher level of automation and robotics before the West does. They already have the production, and can incrementally adapt and upgrade, whereas in the West, it would have to be (re-)built from the ground-up with intent to directly compete against low-labor markets (though arguably, in some industries this would probably be an advantage), and that would require far more investments up front, which carries a higher risk.

You're saying if the CIA does so in Russia, it would lead to military confrontation?

Ed Snowden is a card to play for Russia but a quite small one.

Actually, the biggest risk he is facing is the same as Julian Assange. At some point, a change in policy in Russia (eg getting something back in return from the US) can lead to him being extradited to the U.S.

As for the U.S, I think it's not a big deal as well. His damage is done. All the incentive the U.S has in this case is to make example of him.

There is little political incentive for politicians to follow. Maybe some PR for the president who manages to get him back, but aside from that, Ed Snowden is not a big incentive for anyone at this point. No way anyone is going to war for him.

It's ironic that so many people here are complaining about their solo projects not gaining traction, but nobody seems to want to pitch into somebody else's project and make it their own. Please don't take it personally, I simply noted a pattern and the fact that I'm writing this on your comment in particular is just random chance.

In your example, why would you start yet another editor? There are hundreds, possibly thousands, already out there. Instead of writing your own, you could have taken the one that's popular and closest to what you want, and started to change it to fit your needs (or written a plugin, if the editor allowed for it).

One of my own favourite experiences with open source development was when I basically revived an existing project by starting to make contributions to it, which then pulled the original creator back in and ultimately others as well.
They will likely get away with it, despite straddling a number of dark patterns ranging from 'sneaking it into the basket' to 'forced continuity'. They will probably get a slap on the wrist by claiming that they did inform the user at sign-up to opt-out etc. and display some faux remorse. The tactics are tried and perfected and not so dissimilar from the range of dirty tricks deployed by GoDaddy; which is hardly surprising considering that both registrars accused of shady practices, share the same parent.

I agree that there is no need to use immoral registrars these days ─ Gandi has a section, which advises on upfront costs of creation, renewal etc. and is also one of the most reputable registrars in the business.

It's pretty remarkable to see what people do with Garageband even on iPhones.

I bought an interface for my guitar ($20) and have played around with Garageband on my iPad and just playing with the amps is a lot of fun. It's a very low friction way to record myself playing while practicing and since I'm using headphones, I'm not irritating everybody around me with my terrible playing.

One complaint about Garageband (and Cubase - a copy of that came with my Yamaha amp), is the lack of tutorials for people like me. I'd love a start-to-finish tutorial for recording a toy song that includes recording my instrument on top of simple drums and maybe one or two other virtual instruments.
As a cycling fan we've had a few of these sorts of shady cases where people try to take a pre-existing term, trademark it and then threaten to sue people legitimately using it.

Recent examples that have amused me include when Specialized Bicycle Components released a bike named after the French town of Roubaix and its famous bike race on cobbled roads... then proceeded to start threatening other businesses also named after the town.

Or the company Peloton Interactive Inc which named its indoor spinning product after the commonly used name for a group of cyclists "peloton"... and then proceeded to start threatening bloggers for using the term to describe groups of cyclists.

What's particularly funny about the peloton case is that some other outfit in California is claiming a trademark on the term "spinning" to describe people indoors using static spin bikes... and has proceeded to start threatening small gyms for using that term.

Not sure if this is known as trademark trolling or not but I'm going to quietly trademark that term and start sending out threatening letters just in case.
> * Rate of conversion from on-label opioid prescription to addiction

And there we already have a problem. Off-label prescribing of opioids are a huge problem.

They’re really not supposed to be used so frequently for chronic non-cancer pain, but they’re used all the time for it.

And that’s a much bigger market than chronic cancer pain patients, because of life expectancy.

Cancer will often kill you, your back pain won’t.

>Apple fought over using the letter "i" as a prefix to product names

that's comparing apples to oranges though, isn't it? i as a prefix for product-names seems critical, as such-labeled products were heavily and uniquely associated with apple-products, whereas a music-producer isn't intrinsically representing apples brand, just because they share the name. apple is a giant brand, but you can in fact can still buy apples without thinking about computers or steve jobs
>It's interesting to note that Alaric was an Arian [1], and not an Orthodox Christian (even though I don't know for sure if by 397 AD the term "Orthodox" was already in use or not)

It was used, but not with the current meaning at the time -- that appeared after the East/West split, half a millennium plus a few centuries later.

Before the split, it was occasionally seen early on (2-3 century) but it was more used after the council of Ephesus at the 5th century, again, with a different meaning than today. It was used from both "catholic" and "orthodox" populations (who were one faith at the time), against smaller denominations.

>If you're going to tell a random someone that the first Gothic alphabet was "invented" in present-day Northern Bulgaria not a lot of people will believe you, especially now when there's lots of talk about "origins" and borders keeping the people "not of our culture" out.

Well, the fact that nations influenced one another, doesn't mean it was some "free for all" back in the day either.

People at the time fought hard to keep people "not of their culture out", often with huge human toll -- from the Ancient Greeks fighting to keep the Xerxes etc armies out, to the Roman empire falling to barbaric tribes, all the way to the Battle of Vienna...

Romans would have very much preferred to keep their empire, than to have their cities plundered, suffer a millennium of decline and "dark ages", and gain some cultural artifacts and new recipes in exchange...

For countries like the United States, sea level rise is basically a real estate problem. Either shoreline communities will need expensive infrastructure improvements to rise faster than the water or will have to abandon the lowest lying areas and retreat.

If you want to experience a New Orleans Mardi Gras, you have only a few decades left, but there are plenty of other places in the U.S. where Louisianans could find a home.

The biggest brunt of climate change will be borne by low-lying countries. Most of Bangladesh is at elevations in danger of flooding in the next century. Where will those 164 million people flee? Will the refugees be accepted or will there be walls and wars?
Not only is 2% a fairly tepid number, we’ve had to cut rates, make promises to “sustain the expansion”, stop the tapering of The Fed’s balance sheet just to get that 2%.

All throughout 2013-2017, the CPI number has hovered either close to 2% or been below it. Keep in mind that the Fed’s goal is symmetric, meaning that to make up for the times when CPI is below 2%, there needs to be other times when CPI is above 2%. It blows my mind that throughout the late 80s and 90s we were hitting anywhere from 3-5% and now we’re struggling to get 2%.
It’s also why they wouldn’t shift to the US overnight. And for over many nights, it’d still not shift to the US which is my point.
I'd go farther; I can't even imagine in what way matching a codon to a physical amino acid and attaching it to a protein in progress is a "database lookup" in a Grover database lookup.

If proteins were created by the cells by selecting proteins out of quantum superpositions of all the possible amino acids, sure. But that doesn't seem to remotely describe how that process works.
That's what I asked when iOS 13 asked me if I would like to give permisson to the official CNN app use Bluetooth. Yep, apparently CNN was doing something with my Bluetooth but I had no idea until iOS 13.

I think a standard API would be great. "Here's the things the ecu should be willing to expose": basically all the usual EC2 reader registers, as read only.

The Atlantic is on the left, and has a good reputation for factual and thoughtful reporting. I’d call them classically liberal.

I see the bias as support of free speech, an ideal once strongly held by both the left and right but waning lately. Koch’s are at heart libertarians so their funding of it isn’t unusual.
I don’t think the administration is deluded by that reality, but many of the supporters are. They just wanted jobs and Trump said yes, but he’s essentially misleading them.
I tried reading catch-22 twice before successfully getting through it. I felt the same as you did. I think my problem the first 2 times was that I was looking for the 'hook' or whatever it was that people were so fanatical about. As a consequence, I think I was glossing over the dialogue and not really ingesting what was going on. The third time I decided to just take it at face value, try and enjoy the dialogue and if no bigger picture emerges, so be it. This approach turned out to be the key. It's an incredibly funny and poignant book and what happens is that while you get through all these seemingly (initally) trivial scenes, a point does in fact start to emerge. The triviality is actually central to the main point. People keep dying off for arbitrary reasons and the being part of the war is so detached from the apparent reasons for the war is actually taking place. It's one of my favorite books. I truly recommended trying to read it again.
But that's not actually what you want for preserving value: you want to know that a unit now buys you a loaf of bread today or next week or in ten or a hundred years time. Currency is useful because you can use it to buy future work.
