I'm absolutely 100% certain that someone in the US was aware of this change, and signed off on it. What I'm saying is that there is no circumstance in which I'd personally do that, and as someone who is comparatively "rich" worldwide as an engineer, I have that luxury of putting my foot down and not doing it. I can have a new job tomorrow that probably pays me yet more.

I don't blame anyone who is making $30k a year for going along with bad-politics at a company. But if you're making over 100k a year as an engineer? Yea, I hold you accountable for your actions and implementing bad politics.

Right, but Rayiner didn't make any arguments about anyone's "inherent natural right to their capital" and I kind of doubt he believes in any such thing. His argument is subtler and much more important than that: if what we want are social services that resemble Europe's more than our own, what needs to change aren't the taxes on the top 1% of earners, but rather increased taxes on the middle class.

Since I've seen Rayiner argue repeatedly on HN that European-style universal health care is a good idea, it stands to reason that what he's saying is that taxes need to increase across the board, not that any one cohort of payers needs to be shielded from increase.

I will just ignore your racist self-righteousness in the pursuit of discussion, but you are exhibiting lazy thinking.

…which you then follow it up with lazy pseudo-nationalist supremacist thinking that declares the USA far more worthy of the human resources it strips from the originating countries, while sabotaging any real hope for those originating countries to develop, and sabotaging the native US population at the same time. Those other countries don't deserve to develop, the US rich need to import foreigners to augment their failure of statesmanship and governance; those foreign countries of "brown people" don't deserve those human resources, becky needs a babysitter or a new iPhone. Come one, come all "brown people" that increase profits through lower wages/salaries. And yes, I realize the exceptions of high salary foreigners are elevated as arguments for the fallacious rule.

It's really just a "pivot" of the slavery business model, just more efficient, profitable, and also less obviously unethical and immoral, so the fools can't quite catch onto it. What is always missed in the debate about slavery, is that slavery hurt the common people far more than even the salves in most cases for the very same reason that "immigration" is solely about driving up profits of the ruling class on the backs of the middle and lower class, by selling their own people out to foreign mercenary pillagers. Slavery was essentially were fed, housed, and taken care of because they represented the low wage labor necessary to drive the wealth of the ruling class; while the common people (mostly white) were not only left to their own devices to scrounge out a living in poverty and having to make their own way in life having to take care of themselves ( in spite of what spoiled brats today think, "white people" did not live a life of Club Med), they were also undermined by slavery the very same way that your support of immigration undermines citizens.

But I get it, you are self-righteous and self-interested because you have no principle and scaffold that with lazy thinking, but that does not change the fact that immigration is not only immoral and unethical, it is just basic theft. At the very least, "immigrants" should have to pay immensely higher taxes to compensate and reward citizens for what they and their forefathers created, but employers of immigrants should also have to pay immensely higher taxes, which of course they will have no problem paying since the immigrants will "do jobs Americans will not do".

No, and most people don't seem to understand what is going on, a fraud and plunder of the USA from those who created it by those who are pillaging it, including the "white" ruling class that are essentially using a Private equity leveraged buyout model to take over the USA and suck it dry, and the "immigrants" are the vehicle for doing so, because every additional "immigrant" is a marginal increase in their profit.

At the time it was an exciting experience to replace the default firmware with Rockbox. There was some danger involved as there was the small potential of bricking the hardware. I was so nervous, because at the time I was too young to afford replacing hardware. It went smoothly and paid off.

It was instructive in my eventual switch to Linux.

At least they have coffee. Some places don't even have that.
I was with you right up to

"• Capital gains is "double taxation". It is true that if you tax capital, that is likely post-tax money. That is, it was earned at some time in the past and tax was paid at that time."

The "double taxation" argument is false, since it assumes that the entity paying the original tax and the entity paying the second tax are the same entity which is manifestly false. It is also malicious, since it is usually applied to dividends and in so doing converts the investment markets to a zero-sum game.
"far-right" sentiments are often against what are typically understood as feminist sentiments. Eg. Abortion access, social services, access to contraception, implementing regulations around pregnant women and the pay gap (as well as the implication that the pay gap exists and can partially be rooted in sexism)...

Grain of salt indeed. I thought it was funny how the author decides to "settle" on some arbitary 2-sig-fig number.

It's worth noting that in the US, the SUV/crossover is king of sales.

As a quick basis of comparison, Acura TLX sales for the entirety of Q3 was 5,754 units (verified this figure), whereas Acura MDX sales for the month of August alone[1] was 5,976 units.

Now play this comparison game with Lexus[2][3][4], Cadillac[5], BMW[6][7][8], etc. and you'll discover similar patterns.

How meaningful is it to compare Tesla Model 3 estimated US sales figures to a relatively small market segment that has literally been and continues to be cannibalized by SUV/crossover conversions year over year? IMHO, it's like focusing on salt in the bleeding wound while turning a blind eye to the frenzy of sharks encircling.

> It’s an asshole move for sure.

Yes, but corporations aren't known for going out of their way not to be assholes (more accurately--not known to go above and beyond the most basic compliance with local and federal labor and employment laws).

Tech workers benefit from the high demand for tech skills, so we typically have low "asshole" behavior from companies, less we just find another job.

Other workers typically do not. Certainly non-techworkers who work for tech companies get better treatment simply based on a uniform set of policies and procedures, but often, they are employees of a contract firm, and not subject to the same treatment as the tech employees.

I'm not sure how I feel about low-skill/low-wage workers being subject to unpaid security checks.

Being paid for time they are required to fulfill duties vs "A few rotten apples spoil the bunch."
Neat idea, but I'm not seeing the window of usefulness for this.

If society collapses and recovers relatively quickly, we likely can coast for 10-20 years on the computers that have already been built. This would be what I'd expect to happen with a point-in-time catastrophe that disrupts everything but then ends and we can all set to work to rebuilding everything. (Like a massive economic collapse, huge meteor strike, nuclear winter, etc.) Even if 95% of computers become inoperable, there's a lot you can do with the remaining 5%. Probably more than what you can do with new stuff you build.

Another scenario is that we recover really slowly. This would be due to some kind of enduring factor that holds back humanity, like a really long-term famine or global political instability that we somehow cannot reset. In that case, what's the hurry to develop software that's ready to go? Maximizing compute capability doesn't seem like it would be the thing that tips the scales and allows society to get rolling again. For that you need to solve whatever the root problem is.

TLDR, if we fall, maybe there is nothing holding us down, and we can bounce back up relatively quickly, in which case we don't need this. Or there is something holding us down, then it seems unlikely that computing is what we need to solve that.

Maybe there are other scenarios that I haven't thought of, though. Or ways that computing would help in the above scenarios.
Yea; but I'm a programmer/engineer. Last time I needed a job, I had a contract for $15k that month within two hours, and an interview for a full time position by the end of the day. People in our position have the power to do things like that, and we should use that power for good.

Your second statement might more accurately be formulated as "I tend to find the insights of people with a technical background more interesting", or even "I am more capable of understanding what is interesting about the insights of people with some sort of technical background even if it is not my own." Otherwise, you're claiming that there's something objectively "uninteresting" about, like, the majority of human insights that civilizations have ever had and found valuable.
I'd like to say that this is a brilliant and insightful post, and really explains the "old people don't like new music" phenomenon succinctly.

The only minor things I'd add are that the music industry has changed a lot over the decades, and Autotune did not exist before a couple decades ago, nor was the internet a factor back then the way it is now. It just isn't fair to say that older people "don't like new music" when the music itself has changed, as has the industry that produces it, and the way it's usually listened to as well.
Exact same thing here. One could actually interact with the community very easily, the information was well organized and they made changes in the code visible on the front page of their website. I had other players afterwards, but since then it was always a requirement that it can run RockBox. I loved it especially for its playlist management. Thanks RockBox team!
I wonder if there are any other companies/services that are in the same boat and have to do this as well.

Sure; but literally any day Tim Cook can say, "Ok China, I no longer play your game. Enjoy having no support or economic progress from us - bye".

My point wasn't a specific developer (as you point out, they might have been in China themselves and unable to do otherwise), but that anyone in the chain who is "safe" and in a position of power and privilege to not-play China's game, I find morally dubious. Engineers in the US are people I count as having this safety and privilege, but not engineers in China.

Executives, PMs and management in the US I also count as being able to tell China to shove it with their demands.
> I find that completely unpersuasive. The courts have just told Amazon that they DON'T HAVE TO PAY for this time.

The headline is a little misleading. The appellate court was letting the case vs. Amazon go to trial under state labor law; the Supreme Court decided not to intervene, so the dispute is still being litigated.

(Previously, the Supreme Court said time being screening doesn't require compensation under Federal law).
Looks like you need a _lot_ of foundational stuff first. Page 17 has already jumped into multiple integrals, which at least when I was studying undergraduate calculus 30 years ago wasn’t covered until Calc IV. The appendix rushes through a lot of stuff you’re apparently expected to already have had some exposure to like Taylor series, probability density functions, eigenvalues and eigenvectors… it looks like you’d need at least an undergraduate (if not a graduate) level math degree before you could make much sense of the contents of this book.

To get the facts right. It isn't called "Taiwan flag". It is the flag of Republic of China. And To People's Republic of China, ROC is not legitimate.

yeah, the only way this makes sense is if you slide right past the "multiple conferences" part in the comment rooting this thread( which, apparently, you are). And of course also the "multiple women have come forward" part in the statements online. The mental gymnastics here to justify this is awe inspiring.
And to expand on this: ideally we wouldn't have just one repository of hardware and knowledge of how to use/recreate that hardware, just like how ideally we wouldn't have just one repository of seeds and knowledge of how to plant/cultivate those seeds. We should be aiming to have as many redundant Svalbard-style doomsday vaults as possible, for all sorts of things (seeds, computers, medicine, you name it).
> How is the Model 3 a more efficient/fun commuter car? Is it just used versus new, or is the Model 3 also better than a new Model S for you?

Excluding the obvious that Model 3 is smaller and weighs less less, the drive units on the Model S/X are conventional induction motors.

The dual-motor versions of the Model 3 have an induction motor in the front and a permanent magnet synchronous reluctance motor (PMSRM) in the back making it much more efficient:

https://evannex.com/blogs/news/taking-tesla-s-model-3-to-get...

The new Model S/X "Raven" updates were able to leverage this new (PMSRM) drive unit tech which also improved their efficiency up to a record 370miles:

https://www.tesla.com/blog/longest-range-electric-vehicle-no...

https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/24/18513899/tesla-model-s-x-...

The Model 3 is more fun to drive since it's more nimble. Though the ride quality and cabin noise on the S/X is better. The S feels like a boat, while Model X feels like a tank. The Model 3 has improved battery cooling and "track mode" which you can't do on the S/X since both will overheat (2012 design?).

Lastly, the Model 3 is also the only Tesla that can take advantage of the maximum rate of 250kW that was introduced on the V3 superchargers which can charge up to a rate of 1K mile an hour.

yes, but this thread isn't just about Taiwan. Its about HK's perspective of Taiwan at a certain point in time and how it is easy to miss their perspective and just assume all satellite's of mainland China have the same view of what the composition of China would be. When its not true.

In the same vein, many people in the US and abroad would find Taiwan's view of Tibet to be surprisingly uncollaborative over different points in recent history.

Many people are so focused on Greater-China satellite victim complexes such that many assume they all see each other the same way when thats not the case at all.
So, to summarise:

* Choose an Elliptic Curve (EC) and a large prime;

* The rational points on the EC modulo the prime give you a group;

* Your private key is a large integer N;

* Perform Diffie-Hellman-Merkle-Williamson (DHMW) in the group;

* You now have a shared point in the EC;

* Use a symmetric cipher using the shared point as the key.

Performing DHMW goes as follows:

* A and B agree on a point P in the EC;

* A and B each choose a large number as their secret key;

* For simplicity, or confusion, we'll say that X's secret key is X;

* They compute AP and BP as their public keys and exchange them;

* When A receives BP they compute A(BP), B does likewise;

* Now they share a point: (AB)P.

If you have the language of groups, and understand DHMW in that context, ECDHMW is trivial, as is (this version of) EC PK-Cryptography.

TL;DR : ECC is simply Symmetric Cryptography using a key that's been agreed by using DHMW in an Elliptic Curve group.

Either way - I do not expect an announcement from Apple saying "Zach in engineering did it, his bad, sorry for that", or indeed anything at all as that would fuel this and unless it is still trending as an issue after a few weeks, then they might. But in general, such things PR wise, blow over and Apple like most have found that not fueling it with any response unless it is exactly what the populus want to hear, it is best to say nothing. At least, that is how many such comparable matters play out with such large corporations throughout history, though they have improved.
