> Negative. Backlighting is vendor specific. Different implementations offer different configurations.

Are you joking? For an analogy, do any NIC vendors even provide their own tools for configuring their Ethernet cards? And even if some do, how many people actually bother to use those, instead of OS-specific utilities like ifconfig? How's backlighting any different here?
I use a screen mirroring program on my computer and have the phone hooked up to it. The program allows you type, touch on the phone from your computer, copy and pasting between the systems works fine too.

So I only really need to use the phone itself to type when on the go.
The ease of mono-cultural (Han Chinese) coordinated societal and economic change - are you referring to the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution ? You are right, unquestioned fealty to a President for Life would never work in a diverse, multicultural country like India.
I love this argument, there’s a lot of nuance to unwrap here.
I see a lot of India startup cofounders who are really smart but fail to understand the challenges (often out of their control) that are in their way of making their businesses sustainable.
Aside from the political, regulatory and socioeconomic challenges, India has a huge void to fill in terms of energy needs, manufactured goods, labor productivity and infrastructure before the economy becomes efficient enough to support high level services. The startup ecosystem, barring a few companies in logistics, is not focused on making any tangible improvements in productivity in the larger economy, for example, to start moving people away from agriculture.

It seems you'd be ok with a lot of administrators of the public good who do it as a job and a few politicians who do it on the side.

Pretty common for warships though, or at least that's my understanding. The Arleigh Burke class [0] is powered by GE gas turbines, for instance.

Though the requirements list for "large surface combatant engine" and "huge cargo vessel engine" are probably more than a bit different.

I think this solution can be very counter intuitive or natural depending how you picture the problem in your head.

If you are thinking about you playing the game then of course it is very counter intuitive, because you are playing the game and you have only one chance. Doesn't matter that by switching your chances rise to 2/3 because you play the game only once, and in the end you either win or lose.

On the other hand if you think about it from a statistic/probabilistic point of view then it's all natural that the chance is 2/3 but there is the notable exception that you don't play in this case and you neither win or lose.
A smooth distribution for ML engineers doesn’t exist anywhere in the world, imo.

No, I don't. But that already happens unfortunately.
The funny thing that all this might be funded by the big corps who don't really need any startups and competitors around: it's easier to invest 20-30 billions into destroying the reputation of the startup concept, than to continue buying them at 1-15 billions each.
I agree. The idea that time is not risked as an investment is, IMHO, deeply weak minded. Dollars, when used to purchase labor, are essentially acting as concentrated time. It's like a conversion from matter to energy and back. Walking around with lots of dollars is like holding lots of time, more time than you actually have life. So someone with a lot of money has, in effect, a vault of highly dense time they can chip off and trade with someone else, buying, essentially, more life than they could ever have (i.e., paying others to do things they could never in their lives have the time to do).

We humans are such primates, though, that we regard those with far more money as essentially higher class in the social hierarchy, and venerate their actions, and their property, as inherently more valuable than someone with less.

So when investing in a company with money, you are able to participate in that company by buying someone else's time. But, assuming a fair exchange (which is usually not the case for the laborer), then the one who works is trading one year of time for one year of time from the investor, in the form of dollars (assuming a 100k/year salary). However, the investor isn't trading their time in the form of calendar time, but in dollars. The worker is trading their time not in dollars, but in calendar time. The point is, it's an equal exchange. Which, if there are two people, then both would split the reward 50/50 assuming all else is equal.

We get confused as primates because we are comparing dollars and time, not realizing that we need to convert to common units. To know the true fair split, we have to know how much each person invested in the same units, time or dollars, but not both. We have to convert all dollars invested to time, or all time invested to dollars, in order to know the true investment ratios. In the example of Person A and B, both put in 1 year of time, hence a 50/50 split.

I grew up with Windows. My jobs used Unix/Linux and I switched to Mac at home before Vista came out. I got a job using Windows during the Windows 8-10 transition. During that 10 year gap I'd help friends and family setup printers and stuff. I was aghast at the things that hadn't changed in the 10+ years. I really wished I had written it up because I fell back into things quickly. One thing I still remember is how often you get updates requiring a reboot--in macOS it's a few times a year and in Linux it's only when a specific component (like the kernel) gets updated.
I stay in Canada. My parents are from India and my in-laws are European. My in-laws basically pack their suitcase and turn up to visit us. Meanwhile my parents had their visa rejected twice, we spent close to $10k on legal fees and lost couple of flight tickets (can't apply for visa unless you show flight tickets but visa is not guaranteed) and my brother was never ever allowed to visit us. And it's extremely common for other skilled immigrants (even if they are citizens) in Canada as well to have their family visit visa refused.

Paradoxically, US tourist visa was the easiest for all of us.

When I hear people complain about how the "Government prioritizes immigrants over the local people", it's just mind boggling how they come to this conclusion?

Ather is not only going to face competition from incumbents in the ICE scooter vertical, it is going to face competition from cheap Chinese scooters that are being tested and assembled all across small workshops in India. I think the cheaper scooters will do really well with price sensitive and slightly less brand conscious customers in tier 3 cities.
Experiences suggest otherwise?
Hidden fees like that are not legal in the EU, although enforcement differs per country.
Like I said, I just think it's a poor name for that mindset. If what you mean is "Count on your equity being worth $0", say that, and not "Value your equity at $0".

Maybe this has to do with the contexts I've heard it in, but my gut is that it too often deters people from thinking more critically about their equity and whether they're being treated fairly. If someone new to startups read just the comment I originally replied to and not any of this follow-up, would they have understood what you're trying to say?

I have been advocating for this sort of thing for about 15 years -- but, there will be some legal challenges eventually, when highly-profitable companies invest in students that end up feeling screwed.

But overall I think this is a great thing. In theory, a competitive marketplace bidding to invest in talented but broke students, to teach them how to reach their fullest potential would be a huge force for good in the world.

But I don't envy the first private firms the nasty legal fights they're going to have with students who feel screwed.
8% of 1.3 billion is ~110 million people. That is a sufficient to build great companies. Total population of Israel is 9 million and takes in funding of ~7 billion dollars and has been churning out great companies.
A "soft Brexit" would mean the UK would still have to follow the majority of EU rules, yet give up their say in the making of those rules. It sounds rather unfair, yet it is basically the EEA arrangement which Norway/Iceland/Liechtenstein already have, and appear happy with overall (they don't want to move toward full membership which would give them an equal say, nor do they want to leave the EEA which would give them greater independence in decision-making). Given the political constraint that full EU membership is no longer an option (absent a second referendum reversing the first), such a "soft Brexit" might actually put the UK in a better economic position than a "hard Brexit" in which they have more of a say in things but also have greater barriers to trade with the EU.

An independent Texas might find that an unequal deal with the US, in which the US gets to make all the major economic decisions and Texas just has to accept them, might actually put them in a better economic position than a more equal deal with greater trade barriers.

It isn't clear that Texas has that much of a say at the present anyway. For the last twenty to thirty years, it has been considered safe Republican territory, which given the nature of the US political system means it gets far less say than a swing state does. (That said, Texas used to be a swing state, and probably is going to become one again at some point, which will restore to it a lot of the political power it currently lacks.)
Look at the years-long Brexit saga for a good reason.

There are 15 reps in the state house and a much larger number in local positions. There are some well developed machines to help people get elected. Perhaps most importantly, I think NH is relatively established as the Schelling point for concentration.
I dont think is that much easy, because it will be a different kind of game, in a different world, and maybe in the meantime what we understand of the industry (serial production of goods) can change a lot in the future.

First theres human behavior into play, and consumerism. We have been changing a lot of our daily habits through time, because we now live much more in the digital realm, making a lot of phisical things less valuable. We are sharing more, using less goods made of plastic, wood, steel. Our relation to nature and the climate change will force us to rethink the way we behave, our consumerism, what we use and how we use it. The demand will probably drop also because we are making less babies..

For instance automation, AI, Solar, batteries, and 3d printing can make it cheaper to produce things in your home.

And if we still have the same industry in the future, China has a lot of people, and with the industrial park they have now, even with salaries getting higher, it would be not easy even for India to take that spot. This people are insanelly productive already.

Also, if they reach the next level, which is pure automation, it doesnt matter how cheap and productive other humans will be, it will never be enough.

The only way to take the spot from China now will be a industrial paradigm shift, and i gave some examples of how this may happen.

Predicting the future is really hard, and is hardly as linear as we are inclined to think. (For instance what would be of US without WWI & WWII or without the Russian revolution of 1917? Both are 'black swan' events no one can predict that changes everything we know)

I just see a status quo where Trump would openly abandon HK in a heartbeat for a good trade deal. Whereas the left can stomach talking about boycotting a company like Blizzard but they're violently opposed to action with any teeth because that action will likely have more real negative consequences for theirselves than not being able to play SOME video games. I'm not saying it's hypocritical but is sure as shit is weak.

In the end trade is valued higher than democracy by both Trump and his detractors. It just makes me sad and cynical. I wonder if we will ever have a "Nixon goes to China" moment in reverse?

P.S. Don't know what you're on about saying how my position is only true if trade has no or infinite value. My position would be utterly incoherent if I thought it had infinite value. My position would be coherent if I believed Trade had no value but it's also coherent if I believe it's overvalued.
Maybe this is a regional thing, but here in the down under (Australia and New Zealand) SMS is alive and well. I actually prefer email for the same reasons you mentioned but I frequently meet people of all ages who prefer SMS after initially establishing contact via email.

IIRC the ability to send SMS between US carriers was artificially crippled for a long time and as a result Americans are much less accustomed to the protocol even though the usability has improved a lot since. But I digress.
Containers in 2019: They're Calling It a Hypervisor Comeback
I figured out very early on Windows (this was the days of 3.x) that the Alt key could activate the menu and then let you browse the items with the cursor keys, and the underlined letters (which idiotically have been hidden by default more recently) work in combination with Alt to activate UI elements. I couldn't figure out how to do the equivalent in Mac OS. You had to inspect each menu first with the mouse (and hold down the mouse button while doing so), and hope that there was a keyboard shortcut assigned to the items you needed. It's possible to use Windows almost entirely without a mouse, although I've only had to do that to install mouse drivers or reload a glitched one. The same can't be said for Mac OS.

Some of the Finder keyboard shortcuts seem very counterintuitive; for example, the arrow keys move the selected item (same as in Windows), but although opening the selected item(s) is a very common task and one would expect that to be mapped to a very common key like Space or Enter like all the other file managers I've used, I believe one of those initiates a rename (a relatively uncommon operation) and the other does nothing, and the actual shortcut to open the selected item is Command+DownArrow or Command+O. I guess they make sense in their own way, but apparently I'm not the only one who finds this very unusual and confusing:

The fact that either the Washington Post or the New York Times is considered left-leaning is one of the problems in US media. They are both corporate rags pushing the neo-liberal plutocrat agenda. Try Jacobin or the London Review of Books as a somewhat left of center starters.

I never said that they couldn’t progress past that — the overwhelming majority understood no or were willing to move past sex, in my limited experience of online games.

But it’s just misandry to pretend that women don’t use men for sex or have ulterior motives in starting friendships too.

To borrow a phrase, I think that women live such privileged lives, equality feels like oppression. Their vision of men when complaining is the few men at the pinnacle, not those tread under heel.

So as I said before, I want to see actual data.
If you ever want a lesson in fear of the power of Google, just put your phone on a WiFi network that is also hosting some sort of spamming operation.

Once you do, for the next month, three quarters of the internet will show you multiple captcha challenges. You will give up on using mobile banking, ride-sharing, or just using any internet service that requires a sign-in.

Because every action will take 10 minutes of tedious captcha solving

(Something like this happened to me. My phone got flagged by Google as a likely spammer, and so I had 10-15 captcha for every site. Then I ce home, and because the phone joined my wifi network, my home PC got treated as a spammer too.

It took two months before the internet was actually usable again.

And this was all honest error. Google could easily have made it infinite captchas if they were to actually want to ban me from the internet.
What actually happened in most cities was that the trams were shut down, which was really unfortunate with hindsight.
That's a valid point, but if we think about it, what does the founder do with that instant $1M grant? Most likely the founder spreads this $1M over the next few years on employees and other expenses according to his plan, hoping to get the next, bigger, grant. In other words, there is no advantage of having the entire amount upfront (except maybe the lost possibility to invest into short term treasuries with tiny return).
Well I think the comment is just pointing out how the ability of tech that can do anything makes the act of doing anything mundane... Which is sad, but may not be a serious psychological issue
There are no hypersonic cruise missiles. There are cruise missiles that are supersonic for at least part of their trajectory, though that is often achieved by using a final ballistic trajectory.

And no, cruise missiles are not scarier than ballistic missiles. There is no difficulty detecting them or distinguishing them from other aircraft. Ballistic missiles are far harder to deal with because the time to intercept is tiny and they have gravity on their side.
My understanding of this from older relatives was that question divided within the parties of the Parlament. This is usually solved in Sweden by postpone until every party sorts out there own standing. However, if that isn’t successful we have a advisory referendum that commits to nothing but will break some party deadlocks.
Delhi had a Mir store?? I wish I'd known.

My only access to Mir books as a 10-13 year old in Punjab was an annual 'book fair' consisting of a few roofless stalls of Mir books laid out in the local market. They were fantastic books about science, math, astronomy, engineering and at Rs 10-20 it was amazing as a kid to buy many books at one go.
