I don't think the current White House is capable of dealing with a multilateral world. The actions taken up to this point -- tariffs and market restrictions -- are a relic of last century (even then, they never worked that well).

A lot of Obama's foreign policy focused on containment and strength in numbers.

Both the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) were as much about developing business as they were about Chinese containment.

TTP in particular grouped many of China's adversaries in the region into one large, free moving bloc. Combined with an IP protection mechanism, this group offered global manufacturers a strong alternative to China, reducing the rest of the world's dependence on the PRC.

Second, Obama realigned the military to contain China.

Unfortunately, 2016 happened and Trump, out of his principles and reasons unknown, scuttled these efforts.

I don't see the Trump administration making an about-face any time soon since it would go against their world-view.

What's "bull case"?
> Does it also bring emotional/mental trauma?

Many jobs come with emotional trauma. Try working 14 hour shifts gluing heads on dolls in some provincial Chinese city. Or swimming through sewers to undo blockages in a Haiti slum.

The truth is that many sex workers look at the alternatives and see sex work as the easier option. And by far the most lucrative.

In fact, having spent time in a part of the world free from the residue of Christian morality, I know many women who mock females who 'give it up for free' as foolish.

They were baffled that sex could come without an exchange of something of value.

It's an entirely different perspective.
It's worse outside of western society.
> better yet, abolish copyright

That's a serious argumentative leap to make. Do you really think that's the best solution for this case, or do you maybe have a pre-existing position on this issue which you believe this instance supports? The easiest option is likely to pass a law that publicly-funded research is publicly accessible.

Economics is not a mathematical science, it has no underlying axioms like mathematics. Neither does biology, medicine or climate science. Do you think these are not sciences either?

> When you are talking about the general facts that economics is often prescriptive...

That's wrong, economics isn't prescriptive, maybe that's your basic misunderstanding. Economics is a positive science, just like biology or climate science, it doesn't tell you what to do, it just tries to understand 'if this, then that'.
About 20 years ago I worked on a project designing pop-up shelter buildings, and that's a misrepresentation of UNHCR policy.

Their policy is both simple and logical once you know it: The main challenge with refugee camps is not an engineering issue; the challenge is getting nearby countries to agree to host camps. Countries will agree much more easily to host a temporary camp - which means it has to visibly be a temporary camp.

It turns out, once you know about this constraint (and the obvious facts about cost, logistics, and that camps have large amounts of manual labour available) it's extremely difficult to improve on 10,000 year old canvas tent technology.
So aside from the 1984 aspects of this, I have some ideas on how this could be put to good use, specifically in ecosystem management.

Mount this to a drone and have it fly over a forest or a farm.

Have it count the insect population, say number of bees. Or insects in total.

Have it identify the number of a certain type of crop, tree, plant or whatever.

Connect it to (I don’t know the term for it) where it can determine the health of the plant or tree. Have it fly over wild areas and count the population of elk, deer, cattle, whatever.

Teach it to identify and map out potholes in roads automatically

Things of this nature.

A large portion of savvy web users are ready to switch search engines on a snap if a superior value proposition comes along; if you build it (well) they will come. The same is 10x as true for news sources.
Sure, but I think you'll find a lot of people are more than happy to drop the idea that only boys can play with toycars and only girls can play with dolls, and that if a girl like toycars she isn't "behaving like she should".
There are laws requiring workplaces to be as safe as reasonably possible. None the less, some jobs just are dangerous and can't be made entirely safe. To take an obvious example, a soldier on active military duty faces some risks, and they're inherent in the job.

I don't know exactly how employment law applies to the armed services, but I expect the upshot is something like this: the army has an obligation to do things in a way that e.g. doesn't make accidents needlessly likely, but if you are a soldier fighting a war then you might get shot and that's just part of what they pay you for.

Employment laws may or may not already be drafted in a way that makes them suitable for applying to sex workers, but in principle the situation seems to me very similar to the one I just described. If you are (say) a pornographic actor or a prostitute, then you are going to be having some sex that you wouldn't otherwise have chosen to have, and that's just part of what they pay you for; but your employers are still obliged to protect you from (for instance) being sexually harrassed by your boss.

So, sure, it's a special case and the laws might need to be written carefully to deal with it, but that's not unprecedented. (In particular, if your intended subtext was something like "... so sex work should be illegal because it's fundamentally abusive" then I think you need to explain why we don't have to outlaw the military, police, and other groups that are necessarily exposed to substantial physical danger in the course of their work.)
Not a question, but wanted to say thank you so so much for everything you do for the Geo community! You have (literally) changed the world!

- What's your hit rate? (Detected an actual bullshitter)

All of them, I definitely had a few bad hires, but never due to underestimating capability, also most of them were from the early days.

- What's your false alarm rate? (Labelled someone a bullshitter who wasn't)

I see no way to come up with any good number for that, but I think at ~10% hiring rate from the interview I'd call myself pretty average from a perspective of selectiveness at that part in the funnel.

> This is again pretty easy to BS.

This is not the point of the question, I could care less whether 10% are slightly beautified. My focus with this questions and the follow ups are whether candidates can reproduce insights, learnings, hacks and fulfillment of business objectives in a logical and coherent way. If the story is fabricated, it usually falls apart when I ask "why" and "how did you actually do it?"

It's hard to fake expert knowledge about the stability of current sources when I drill down on the details of a candidates' recent Arduino project.

After significant experience on both sides of the table I am completely lost.

As interviewer I feel the best I can do in the short time I have is to weed out those so incompetent and badly fitting where I wonder why they even applied for the job. E.g.Java developer position and they can't do a simple stream.filter.map.collect task.

As interviewee I rarely even get the slightest interest of actually taking the job if they want me.

I usually don't feel any enthusiasm on the other side and I have a hard time appearing to be enthusiastic myself. Candidates interests usually boil down to "I want more money", "I want a less outdated tech stack", "I want better management" and "I am depressed and want change for change's sake".

In the end, most software development jobs suck and employers are just looking for code monkeys, hoping they will find some that will stay for more than a year or two. Applicants are fed up with pretending they have any personal interest in software development beyond the wages they get for it.

> But it seems to me that the PHP-advocates are failing to understand that impressions matter a lot to developers.

Not a PHP advocate.

But I do recommend people think carefully before they commit to either Javascript or PHP.

Both are about equally good/bad in my opinion (I have written significant Javascript as far back as in 2005 and PHP later.)

Both are useful and both have very very effective footguns built in (unlike Java, my personal favorite, who's footguns are less effectivebut who's more famous for its built in ball and chain).

A significant advantage of PHP is it looks ugly and people already know they should be careful around it so they aren't so easily tempted to start using it for everything under the sun like they are with Javascript ;-)

I'm not sure how familiar you are with open source software, but this is literally what happens with code review and pull requests in open source. Before code is accepted into the master branch, project maintainers review and test submissions. I don't see why a community couldn't be built that democratizes that review process even further. At risk of ridicule, I wonder if blockchain could be used to determine consensus "accepted" science.

It's not a matter of the number of people who think (after all, there are a great number of people believing climate change isn't real and that the earth is flat) but the arguments which are presented. If someone has made an argument to the effect that gender is harmful enough to not be worth keeping around, then you can respond to that argument. However, not all opponents of the patriarchy argue that gender itself shouldn't be kept around. In fact, that's quite a niche position.

The vr world is perfect for someone who has no friends, does not trust people, can not physically or mentally go and meet people. A world where your avatar is modeled after everyone else’s avatar so everyone looks normal and alike is a very welcoming world. Maybe if you could imagine the worst possible situation and circumstance of the real horrible existence that is the actual life of someone else. You may see that the opportunity how ever brief to feel that warmth (love) that a vr metaverse offers would add to a life. That in turn will benefit them so when they take that head set off their life has been enriched and maybe even a smile would replace the tears that nightly put them to sleep. The mind is very powerful and vulnerable. The positive effect that this Horizon can have is amazing.

Google can show other news sources snips, which will now get better engagement from users. Unless the EU can control Google entirely, it is the French publisher that is hurt by this, not Google.
The other problem is that non-native pests and diseases keep killing off trees. For example, the article mentions mountain ash as a species that's endangered. They're suffering from a nasty fungus that came here from Asia - the Asian species of ash have evolved to defend themselves from it, but the European ones have no defences and can't survive infection.
Yes that's really what I'm talking about, but plus the (really required for practical performance) optimisation of virtualising the frames onto the stack if they don't escape an activation.

> Many jobs come with emotional trauma. Try working 14 hour shifts gluing heads on dolls in some provincial Chinese city. Or swimming through sewers to undo blockages in a Haiti slum.

While a factory worker gluing heads on dolls might compare themselves to a successful CEO and feel a very low sense of self worth, I'm not entirely convinced that having sex with strangers in exchange for money wouldn't bring on an any different set of self worth problems.

> I know many women who mock females who 'give it up for free' as foolish.

I do agree that most women see performing sexual acts on a man as an exchange, especially in power. In their eyes, as a man, you are fortunate if this woman "decides" to let you have sex with her.

As a sex worker in my eyes, you are getting rid of your power/right to choose who you want to have sex with/when because it is linked to "I need to pay my rent".

I believe a sex worker's self-worth and mental trauma take on new levels as soon as a sex worker has sex with somebody they wouldn't have had sex with in a typical romantic/casual hookup situation.
Agreed. What dang referred to admiringly as “integrated masculinity” sounds a lot like stoicism to me.
There was no effect on the consumer who uses google as the law was supposed to be installed August 1st 2013 but the main publishers who lobbied for the law granted google a free license 2 days before the deadline.

As far as I know google is now the only search engine who has this free license.

It's quite funny because those publishers advertised the law with some heavy criticism towards google. The whole thing was some kind of "anti-google-law". In the end they made them stronger as other portals and search engines have not been granted a free license. I always wondered if this whole thing was not intended this way to give them a better standing on google news in the end.

The EU could have learned something here just like the lobby who pushed for it again.

I'd assume the result for those who do not use google to look for news will find smaller "news" sites. Especially those who feed them fake news because every serious news site has their license rights protected by the VG Wort.

A lose - lose for everybody.
> They were showing enough information no one was clicking the links.

Were they? From the data I found for a very similar law in Germany the opposite seems to be true.

Axel Springer AG (biggest publisher, also primary lobbyist for the law) gave Google a free license two weeks after Google removed the snippets for all their sites. They noted a 40% drop in clicks coming from Google and an 80% drop from Google News. With estimates from statistics collectors putting users coming from Google anywhere between 15% and 35% (depending on the individual site) that's a massive reduction in users and ad revenue.
Based on the number of times I'm browsing HN (a community of smart, well read and educated individuals) and read a question that's answered by TFA I don't believe interesting content can be summarized in a headline.

Last time I saw this on HN it actually wasn't too bad there were some people trying to defend the CCP in a thread about Hong Kong and almost every pro CCP comment was flagged and had a response.

But in the real world it is super frustrating, was having a conversation with someone the other day that was trying to to make that exact kind of whataboutism with Apple and Huawei. They just did not see it as categorically different, no matter what you believe apple can and has done, that Huawei is essentially owned by the CCP [1]
