Yes, it comes down to saving a few $$$ for the next quarter. And when box office decrease due to alienating the western viewers the executives shrug their shoulders and blame it on streaming instead. To be honest, I couldn't care less, the stuff geared to the lowest common denominator for a few continents is not on my watch list anyway, and hasn't been for a long time. The only problem I foresee is on my part, explaining my kid why we won't be watching such and such Disney show.

And I don't mean that I will make sure my kid won't be able to consume such content because it is censored or dubbed down to please Chinese markets, kid's to small to understand, but to the increasingly crappy quality of these shows.

Heh, this analogy. It's so tempting to make but nah I don't think it's even 1% as contentious. I just think it's too drawn out even though the idea is cute, I'm not going to fight over it.
Sounds like it wouldn't have helped at all. From the article: "Proponents of HR 620 say that changes to the ADA are needed to prevent so-called drive-by lawsuits, where attorneys and people with disabilities use the ADA for their own monetary gain by filing frivolous claims. Yet, as the Democrats noted in their letter, HR 620 will do nothing to stop such cases because 'these private actions seeking damages are filed pursuant to specific State laws that unlike title III of the ADA, authorize monetary damages. HR 620 would make no change to those state laws and therefore fails to address lawsuits seeking damages.'"

I suspect the main reason for the bill was the "substantial progress" wording, which would let businesses get out of becoming fully compliant.

I’m friends with one Indian former co-worker on Facebook. He lives in the U.S. and is anti-Trump, but also shares lots of Hindu nationalist links and slogans. From the perspective of his own self-interest, I imagine this feels consistent.

Then again, there’s also that group of “Hindus for Trump,” so what do I know.

No my point was that wealth supersedes race in police interactions. Look at the Jussie Smollett case, you can definitely stir up some anti-police sentiment if you're rich enough. The conclusion isn't that black folk are privileged, it's that if you are well-off and look the part, race will play a much lower role when you get pulled over.
I’ve been a part of this subreddit for a while. Really novel at first, but got old quickly.

When posts were done well, there was a sort of absurdism that was lovely. As it’s gotten more popular, the absurdism has been replaced with random nonsense (like another commenter wrote, “who keeps trimming penises into my hedges?”). Comments on posts like this devolve into “one-upping” each other on the randomness, which really takes you out of the absurdist world.

No? So why the fuck would you think it would work on me?

As short a statement this is, it's not a question, let alone a simple question.

I typically charge companies as much as £30k a week to listen to "questions" like this, and I'm not much interested in doing it for free on the Internet. If you can figure out how to ask a question maybe someone will answer it (heck, maybe it will even be me), but if this is how you want to talk to me it'll have to be at my day rate.

Just registering my disagreement with this position. I think the author is right, most people are going to look at the difference between this license and true FOSS and say "whatever".
Show me evidence of China travelling to other countries and kill millions of people like the United States. As a non-citizen of China, I am not worried about social credit system and any monitoring that happens in China. Every country does have some human rights violations. I am worried about a country that thinks they can travel to any country and bomb civilians when they want to loot their resources.

This is unacceptable. Companies that do this stuff should be boycotted.
At least in California, especially in Los Angeles, it's really important to factor in that parking lots -- even on land worth $10M+ -- often pay property taxes as little as $100-$1000 a year (thanks to Prop 13).

You buy a parking lot, sit on it as the value of land increases (paying effectively 0% in taxes), then you eventually sell, paying only a capital gains tax (much lower than income).

I only bring up California, because I know it. I'm sure there's similar dodgy tax advantages in other states.

Point being -- taxing land the way we do (especially in California) seems to be problematic.

This is also the reason you see single family homes with front and back yards like 1000 meters away from sky scrapers in Los Angeles and San Jose. Those homes are paying property taxes of like $400 a year, and most of them are being rented out. It's not poor old ladies living in them that don't want to leave the neighborhood they lived their whole lives in, but gentrified under their feet into some urban monster. It's business people arbitraging tax laws.
I'll probably do it in a version 2.0 of my knowledge base, but almost every platform offers the exact same type of retargeting, so it's not that insightful.

> If a car spontaneously combusts we hold the auto manufacturable liable for correcting that defect.

This is a bit of a spurious comparison. Nobody is dying from an unpatched router. Why should a company be on the hook for a device, particularly if it's out of warranty? If you expect more than that, you need to be buying something with a contract stating you're going to get more than that.
False Beliefs
China is just flexing its financial muscle to try and tamp down what's going on in Hong Kong. The fact is, US companies does this on a regular basis to get vendors to comply to their crazy demands.

Tim Cook was Apple's strongman who basically blackmailed Apple's entire Chinese supply chain to meet insane shipping and quality standards. Amazon has done it with their local delivery contracts with third party vendors. Forcing them to meet unrealistic delivery goals all the while detaching themselves from any responsibility for what happens when their vendors push themselves too much and people start dying.

I do agree wholeheartedly about how any company, in the US or abroad should stop targeting China for their growth.
Let's give them some initial credit for being supportive of employees that support Hong Kong- They've shown more of a spine than Blizzard at this point.

I disagree that this is true, and more I disagree that it reflects “show don't tell”, which isn't about visual-over-audio but demonstration-over-exposition.
The stock market is not the economy
Open source software on routers is a little complicated.

FCC requires home router manufacturers to prevent users from modifying transmit settings (primarily to prevent interference with weather systems - which 5G is also going to mess with). While the router manufacturers themselves might not provide features to modify the parameters, allowing third-party open source firmware opens them upto liability, because third-party firmware -- almost all of which are open source, can provide users with features that allow changing the transmit parameters. This is because the radio operation is controlled by the OS (most of these have linux on them), and the parameters are to be included in the same firmware blob as the OS.

FCC is not the problem here either. FCC saw the quick-fix that some manufacturers took, like TP-Link, which is to block any third-party firmware. So they required TP-Link to reverse their decision to prevent installation of third-party firmware. Then what's the solution?

The best way to prevent allowing consumers to change the transmit settings, while allowing open source firmware meant for the rest of the board (where all of the security issues arise), will require having different flash chips - one for most of the firmware, and a separate on for the storage radio parameters. This route is what Linksys is taking.

Personally, I doubt this is a good enough solution. Board designs today use a single SoC that does everything. So I'm not sure how they think storing the transmit settings on a different flash chip will prevent the firmware from using different parameters. Any design that is more complex than the two flash chip solution will require a lot of reworking of designs, because most board designs basically consist of a few components: the SoC, the flash and RAM. Nothing else.

Apart from the re-working of existing designs, there's another problem. The problem is the BOM constraints router makers face, since they are always in a race to the bottom price-wise. Adding additional chips, introduces cost and complexity, which they don't want to go through.
China is moving away from manufacturing, into services and consumption, granted it would be forward looking to be finding other avenues, switching a game up. Just like in old time, ipod mini was growing some competition, it was cancelled and nano was created, delegitimizing competition. Whether there is a foresight for that is the question.
AFAIK the only part that is gamed is the one that is fairly transparent, the leetcode problems.
People pay hundreds for these things on the high end; the market seems to have settled on the price. There may be room to under-cut, but you risk looking like a cheapo option when all the established manufacturers charge more.
> A few years ago, I was surprised to learn that Taiwan actually has low-cost but high-end (university-educated) labor. Ph.D. graduates abound.

Considering that TSMC is the only 7nm fab lab in large scale operation, I'm not surprised.

TSMC, and Taiwan, have always been on the cutting edge, and have even out-competed the US recently (Intel getting stuck at 12nm, GloFo giving up the race entirely).

The USA needs to give a good, long, look at what Taiwan is doing and needs to wonder how we lost our chip supremacy to them. I hold no malice against them... they just did it better than we did. Fair and square. #2 in the race btw, is probably going to be Samsung (South Korea). Intel is "almost done" with 10nm (which should be competitive vs Samsung/TSMC 7nm), but they're definitely lagging behind.
That scale is not even on the extreme end of articles we are privy to these days.

Do you want titles like "How Automattic develops software for websites"? Boring.
> or they fail when the charismatic leader dies and his heirs are not so charismatic.

As for totalitarianism - it's complicated, since totalitarianism in pre-modern societies looked very different. He would generally allow people in captured territories some degree of self-rule, as long as they sent the requisite taxes to support his war machine and didn't threaten his rule. But that's not all that different from the status of ordinary people in China: pay the requisite taxes and don't threaten the ruling party and you have a fair amount of latitude to go about your business unhindered. It's also very different from the degree of freedoms we're used to in the U.S, where threatening the ruling party is practically a national sport.
You cannot disagree about facts. "Open source" is well defined, the author knows about it, and they're lying about their software's qualifications for it to deliberately mislead users and make themselves more money.
Honestly, I expected some issues because of calling it "Open Source" (even though I did not expect this level, it sounds like I am the antichrist). I extra mention everywhere that the Commons Clause is attached, wrote a special section in the docs about it and even put Open Source additionally in quotes.
I am sorry that it upsets you but I wrote, why I did it, in the docs and I think that are viable points. I can also understand your point. If I would write Open Source and people would not allow to use it for free I would even agree but for now, I stand by my decision.

I am however open. I created that poll:

The US Government publicly shamed her over her post - https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/86987479808781926... this lead to hardships for her[1] that I believe aren't debated?

As per statements by the white house[2] and other branches[3] that twitter account is an official channel of US Government policy, I think this is reasonable and generally accepted[4].

Even before this new 7.0 version, I was able to get ~90Mbit/s, but had to use multiple threads; it was roughly 3Mbit/s per thread; I set it to 30 threads, got ~90Mbit/s total throughput. This was in August; should test it again with this new 7.0 version when I have another big batch of uploads.
As I said to another interlocutor here, you're welcome to your opinion. How finely you need to split the hair to preserve it is no concern of mine.

As I also previously mentioned, the video does not show the people who immediately got up and left in response to that remark. It seems I'm not alone, either, in being more concerned about their opinions than about yours. Judging by the content of the statement here under discussion, many of those who have in recent years, by volume of code and effort invested, been the actual leaders of the GNU project, incline to a reading of the situation which rather more resembles mine than yours.

I doubt you will find it easy, with intellectually honest arguments, to convince anyone that these people are engaged in a "witchhunt" which, if it were so, would critically endanger the reputation of the project in which they've invested so much.

But, again, that's your problem, not mine.
> Always learn about the users" for example is much too vague: which users? how do you talk to them? when do you trust them and when do you not take their feedback at face value? I don't think you can learn this sort of thing outside of a real life context.

So how should "these bullet points" explain those things "outside of real life context"?

These points give you abstract points to consider and to then apply to your problem.
Probably some low tier mikrotik. It's not for dummies though, it requires to know a bit of networking.
I'd say that whatever I do outside of work should stay outside of work, not just political speech. Whatever personal pictures I post on my personal instagram are none of my company's business. That said, I don't post anything public outside of forums like this.
Thanks for clarifying what you mean. That's helpful.

> Here, and throughout, I think you're confusing two different things. One is choosing a specific, objectionable point to discuss. The other is being unable to engage with the story as a whole. You are assuming, as far as I can understand what you've written, that because I disagreed and focused on a specific thing you said, I was unable to engage with, understand, or appreciate the story as a whole. I don't think that assumption is well-founded.

I don't think I'm assuming you're unable to engage with the story, but more that your actions and what you choose to discuss are placing emphasis in one area, and your lack of actions or discussion are conversely placing no emphasis there. You've placed a ton of energy into responding to this entire thread. Why put that energy into responding to this thread but put so little into responding to the topic post itself?

> Dystopian fiction often serves as a critique of the real world. In this case, it's pretty obvious what's being critiqued, and there is certainly some merit to questioning aspects of cancel culture, furious debates over ever more marginal aspects of identity politics, etc. On the other hand, critique invites response. It's totally in bounds to respond negatively to aspects of a given critique. That's part of what comment sections are for. As far as I can tell, you accused someone of incuriousity essentially for responding to a critique with further critique.

I don't think it's at all obvious what is being critiqued, and that delightful ambiguity is part of what I like about it. The scissor statement is a Pandora's box -- who is being critiqued, exactly? The characters who stumbled on to it? The ones that understood what it was capable of and enriched themselves from it? Society within the story for being so easy to game? The colonel that unleashed it on Mozambique? One could make a compelling case for some or all of them. It feels much more open to interpretation than I think you may be giving it credit for.

> As for how you meant that first sentence, I can only tell you how it came across to me. (As an unnecessary, insulting interjection.) That's all I have to say about it.

It's ironic that you say that it's "all you have to say about it", because you expounded upon it for an entire thread, while still spending comparably little time commenting on the ideas in the topic post. My question is, why not engage with the topic post? Is it really the case that you're getting more out of critiquing someone's tone than by offering your own thoughts about scissor statements, what they mean, and their suitability as a metaphorical vehicle for digital media in society? I find it puzzling, but also ironic -- again, isn't that exactly kind of derailment the story is trying to point out and warn against?

If you want a less touchy solution (not completely plug and play though!) I can't recommend Ubiquiti products enough. I run an EdgeRouter X and Unifi AP at home. Not big enterprise gear but way more enterprisey than whatever you'll find on the shelf at Best Buy. Updates are released regularly and once you get your initial configuration done they just chug along, no random 'internet is down, need to reboot something' issues that (used to?) plague mass consumer designed gear.
It's not necessarily that it's great for human consumption, more that it's super interchangeable and ridiculously easy to get up and running, and for the most part 90Gb of space is so cheap that it's not worth the overhead of using a binary format.

I'm guessing that OP wasn't parsing a single 90Gb object, but a stream of many newline delimited JSON objects.

Plus the human element helps.
It doesn't meet your hackability requirements, but I suggest Ubiquiti for wifi AP's at a price point that home owners can afford. I personally prefer keeping my wifi separate from the router, which this affords you.

See this for a crash course in an entire Unifi setup, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_-iuY_xxFY

I personally run pi-hole on a pi, use an edgerouter x and unifi aps for the house.

Fascinating! Surprised that almost the whole of Africa is red on here - what's the source of pollution in these areas? Lots of "burning stuff" for cooking and heat?
StandardLib also has a community, though not sure how big it may be.

Pricing is a key differentiator. My market research included a pricing analysis and Boomi was priced well above Zapier and other similar solutions.

I think there is a LOT of money ceded to less expensive offerings by 10 or 15 providers (including Boomi) all chasing the same enterprise market. I would've expected tiered pricing to emerge to a greater extent, but haven't seen it.

I watch this space very closely.
Go visit that "app" and use the arrow keys and mouse clicks, and form a coherent theory of how the arrow keys do something sensible. arrow down moves a highlight cursor down the page, until you click, at which point highlighting disappears, and arrow starts scrolling the page, or does nothing, depending on...something?
I agree and I think similar reasoning is behind some of the working groups for AI that Musk and others advocate for - "let's make sure that if we're breaking new ground, we're doing so with proper ethical and safety standards"...But we're nowhere near that level of social maturity on global level for such initiatives to take precedence over potential gain / profit of getting "there" first. As is evident from still such a large division even over the question if risk exists at all...

NBA annual TV revenue: $4B China (CCTV & Tencent) versus $24B USA (ESPN & TNT).

Those numbers are outdated and incomplete, but basically describe the relative market size.

Maybe you are thinking of rate of growth.

EDIT: As tanilama pointed out my numbers are wrong. The USA (ESPN & TNT) TV deal is about ~$2.6B per year. The Tencent streaming deal is ~$1.5B over 5 years. I don't know about CCTV.
It's a dilemma in that neither the NBA nor their Chinese fans necessarily want to be dragged into this particular crossfire. Even if you're pro-confrontation over various issues, shared enjoyment of basketball is like the last battlefield I'd choose.

I liked Silver's response. Respectfully but firmly refusing to get into regulating the politics of however many players and employees.
