> The point is that academic economists pushed policies

Sure, the Chicago school of economics has been banging this particular drum for ages, but it found a responsive ear in the "deciders" in both public and private spheres from the late-80's.

This rust-belt is a symptom on ongoing class warfare, pure and simple - China only happens to be a tool (and a convenient scape goat). The global domination of Wall Street and Silicon Valley is the flip-side of the globalism coin.

I'd say on average the US benefitted, but this hasn't been evenly distributed (capital wins). How do you fix that without using any big-government, pinko communist/socialist interventions? (being sarcastic here, but that's ironically a big part of rust-belt politics).
> Attempting to negotiate will not harm your situation when dealing with another party making you a genuine offer.

I'm not sure what you are basing this on. I can say for certain that it's not true for me. Maybe it's only true in some negotiation contexts.

I sometimes sell stuff on the Internet. I put in a price and say this is firm. Many, many times, people contact me, and the first thing they do is try to negotiate the price down. I instantly blacklist them. I'm not here for the hassle. Either you are interested or not. So yes, if you are dealing with me, and you are truly interested, negotiating will harm your situation.

Also, I hate negotiating with a passion. I find it promotes double speak and adds uncertainty. Pick a price and stick with it, don't change the contract midway. If I can negotiate the price down, I won't really consider it a win. Instead, you will loose my trust. Why didn't you put in the true offer in the first place? It makes me feels that if I hadn't negotiated, you would have silently robbed me. I will thus assume you are still silently robbing me, as I'm not here to spend my time negotiating further down.
I don't actually know what you're arguing for so I'm not going to engage any of your points. Power is distributed according to a set of rules spelled out in the Constitution, so I have no idea what you're talking about with California being so important or whatever.

I'm just making fun of the argument that the voter landscape looks different if we omit state X. No shit. Omit Texas and you get a different picture. Omit new York and you get another picture still. This kind of argument is the political equivalent of p-hacking.
This post reminds me of when I went to Korea when I was younger, I would bring back a whole bunch of movies that were pirated onto a DVD. These movies were in good condition and were movies that were still in theaters at the time. The business was so good that it actually had actual stores selling these copies. I am still amazed at the quality of these DVDs that I had around 2003-2004.
There may not be an IO performance disadvantage to using Intel AES-NI for dmcrypt, versus in-hardware (in the drive). But there is a CPU performance impact when using it. I see ~22% x4 thread (~88% CPU out of 400%) for kcryptd processes when fully utilizing reads or writes for a single laptop hard drives at ~140MB/s with an Intel Pentium N3700 in an Intel NUC. That's obviously not a very substantial CPU. But it is nevertheless a fairly substantial CPU hit. The spare CPU cycles are available so it doesn't have an actual impact on this system.

Anyway, neither kernel fscrypt, nor dmcrypt have any dependency on drive embedded crypto. They do use AES-NI or equivalent, if available and if that support is compiled into the kernel.

Mainstream macroeconomics still have problems dealing with real returns of capital investment and technology improvements. And free commerce with China creates some quite large unnatural changes on both of those factors. (And microeconomics can't save the day here.)

So, well, I would add disclaimer to not blindly trusts the economists on this one. Their opinion are probably much better than the one from the average Joe, and also much better than anything you'll get out of the news or a politician's mouth, but not completely reliable either... and the most certain a economist is of it, the less I would trust him.

Huh, that one kinda surprised me.
This makes so much sense, and now looking at this image, I wonder if it explains "tabs vs spaces".
You have to be careful about those safe environments, as they often simply shift the weapons from loudness and brashness to sweet-sounding talk and subtle negative suggestions. It changes the breed of social warrior who wins from the "Conan the Barbarian" type to the "Mean Girls" type, but that doesn't help good ideas. One example of a dysfunctional strategy that only works in safe environments is the technique of subtly poking at someone's emotions until they say something off-limits or use an unacceptable tone of voice. Toxic individuals are always at work, and changing the rules sometimes does nothing better than changing the ruling toxic personality type.

In 15-20 years I really hope a book comes out about the NSA's quantum computing work in this decade. I'm immensely curious to know how far they are/are not ahead of the Google/IBM/D-wave crowd.

They pretty obviously haven't recreated the magical chip from Sneakers yet (I think), but are they close? Or maybe they are there, but they have to be so very careful with how they use it so not to reveal its existence?

Or maybe they're far enough along to realize that's not a thing that can be built in this century?

> They take advantage of the least educated users

If you actually want to convince people, it might help not to start from the assumption of them being stupid.

Walk around at a physics conference, Google office, Harvard or MIT campus, and you'll see more MacBooks than any other brand. The notion of these users universally being clueless defies logic.
> Starting with the western values as endpoint for reform is not constructive but "transparently propagandist"

Ah but the rule of law is a global concept many disparate civilizations invented independently. Even China, here's Wikipedia:

> In China, members of the school of legalism during the 3rd century BC argued for using law as a tool of governance, but they promoted "rule by law" as opposed to "rule of law", meaning that they placed the aristocrats and emperor above the law.[15] In contrast, the Huang–Lao school of Daoism rejected legal positivism in favor of a natural law that even the ruler would be subject to.[16]

> "rule of law and respect human rights - is simply not a priority for China or many developing nations

China is the 2nd largest GDP in the world. It's no longer a developing nation. It has the ability to destroy the entire planet with pollution from its industry, its biotech research, and of course its nuclear weapons. This is not an excuse.

It's also not an excuse for any nation anywhere. No nation can be small enough to abduct, torture, murder, and harvest organs from its own citizens. The mere suggestion is disgusting.

> The point is cultural genocide is something that gets pragmatically dismissed everyday in the interest of geopolitics.

And practically everyone in this thread is lamenting that. We're ashamed of our nations for not acting against this, and OP explicitly calls for us to take action.

That is, except commenters like you, who are working extra hard to make excuses for the CCP with twisted arguments and whataboutism. Speaking of:

> Just like how people like to causally assert "whataboutism" whenever the brazenly obvious is pointed out: China gets away with abuses and will continue to because America led the way.

Besides being--again--whataboutism, you can't have it both ways. You can't say, "we're justified in doing the worst things the US has ever done" without also saying, "we're trying very hard to do the best things the US has ever done". Which, to be clear, are:

- rule of law

- respect for an expansive, equal set of human rights for all

- free, fair, open elections

This is a very basic human rule that children learn. Someone else's bad behavior doesn't excuse your own bad behavior. Take responsibility for your actions, and try to do better. Say what you want about the US, but we try and do that, and anyone with even a passing knowledge of US history knows it's working.
> And please, can we stop this incessant gatekeeping? It does not help. There are a lot of amazing software engineers working at non-FANG companies doing great work, building great things.

Sure, but not making north of $200k in non-management, non-super-specialized-and-rare positions. Except ("mostly", I must add, because this is an Internet comment) at places that interview similarly.

[EDIT] While we're at it—dear all you folks hiring in the low to mid-100 range for remote positions: your competition, for me, includes local places that don't have a weeks-long five-stage hazing interview process that take 4-8 hours total time, or more. They have maybe two hours of relatively low-stress phone calls and in-person conversations and make a decision in a day or three. And offer the same money you do. They shit or get off the effing pot, because they know if they don't they'll miss me. Your slow-ass high-time-commitment "oh we'll do two hours of pair coding online then fly you out and have you do a half-day of whiteboarding" processes are why it's "hard to find developers", assuming the money you're offering is right. You are not Google. Your money is not Google money. Your competition includes shops that have cashflow and contracts and need—need—developers with half a clue right now and can't afford to dick around, and they pay the same that you do. Knock it off. I'd rather work for you guys but you make it a real pain in the ass.
As someone who cooks a fair bit, I tend to agree that someone could go from how to boil an egg and incrementally add things like organizational skills, knife sharpening, simple sautes, etc. in useful one hour chunks. You can't learn to cook in any meaningful way in an hour, but it's definitely a skill that you can usefully develop on a skill-by-skill/recipe-by-recipe basis pretty effectively.

I'm not sure how many cooking classes are aimed at rank beginners but there are tons of videos these days. It might even be useful to subscribe to something like Cooks Illustrated for a more structured approach rather than wading into YouTube.
> And I'm saying "Eventually" is actually a month.

I was the technical lead on a project where I warned the product owner that implementing a certain feature the way they wanted in AWS would have astronomical costs. I was told "let me worry about the money".

A month later we were told to scale down our ECS and EMR usage as the bill was astronomical.
2009 - 2012 would be the period where nVidia had badly-soldered GPUs affecting everyone's laptops, this was an expensive repair period for many manufacturers. Air bubbles in the solder would eventually disrupt the electrical flow, I think it was just the one year of devices but a year or so passed before anyone was affected.

https://codingfreak.blogspot.com/2009/04/beware-of-nvidia-gr...

Then in 2013 Apple started soldering/joining everything which made all the repairs more expensive.

Then in 2016 Apple had to start paying for the artificially expensive repairs themselves because of the butterfly keyboard fiasco, popping speakers, broken display cables etc.

They probably really have lost money but they don't mention it's their own fault and at this point it's really just tied to the free keyboard replacement program which ends in 1 - 2 years for the worst-affected models.
Do their "costs" include warranty repairs?
They're not the only electric utility company in California - just the biggest by far. The second biggest is Southern California Edison, who by coincidence happen to have caused what was apparently the second largest wildfire in modern Californian history (Thomas fire in 2017). It sounds like their fire prevention shutoffs haven't been going so well either: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-11-01/southern...

All of the other Californian power companies are much smaller, and I'm not sure they're doing massively better. According to a New York Times article a few months back, the example state officials have pointed to of what PG&E should be doing, San Diego Gas & Electric, only managed to cause "far fewer fires than PG&E" thanks to their own aggressive monitoring and targetted blackouts - which is to say that they're still causing fires - and they're far smaller than PG&E.

I think it never had Eiffel's level of tooling, and libraries, focused on UNIX platforms as CLI compiler, hence why it never took off outside its research university.

I learned about it on a Dr. Dobbs article and that was about it.

As for performance, Eiffel was already quite fast, because while it used a VM for development (MELT), AOT compilation was done via system compilers, with support for generics and value types from the beginning.

It was also one of the first OOP languages to support non-nullable references.

Also the state wants to control PG&E but doesn’t want to take any of the blame for how PG&E are regulated. Of course they are nominally “private”. The state also bears responsibility but of course they have a ready scapegoat!
> I'm surprised you're getting voted down.

I'm not surprised one bit. I generally don't talk about downvoting, but it's pertinent to the topic of free speech and consequences for speaking.

There's a common theme in "free speech" advocacy -- folks assert that free speech must not have any consequences. Addressing that misconception with facts about the US legal system and precedent frequently results in downvotes. Which is rather ironic -- downvoting is a consequence that can result in "censorship." But karma comes and goes with the popularity of my opinions; I'm not bothered.

I still want arbitrary modifier keys.

This is a feature of some game engines which allow people to use arbitrary keys (or combinations) as modifier keys. Which allow for less motion of the hand over the keyboard, by simply being able to hit the same keys (with some modifiers) quickly.
How?

Most people don't want to talk code. Thus, given a demographic breakdown that relates neither positively nor negatively with talking code, one can assume the general pattern applies.

Most old people don't want to talk code.

Most young people don't want to talk code.

Most left handed people don't want to talk code.

None of these are discriminating. They are stating that a pattern true of the general population also applies to a demographic partition of the population.

One of the reasons I didn't get a System76 machine was because of how Pop!_os is branded. Everything about its branding, from the name itself to even the footer background on the website looks like a complete joke to me.

Of course, maybe there is a demographic that is in to this sort of branding, but I bet it's more of a detriment to overall sales than anything.

Is the OS as full of seconds-long bouncy animations and bubble letter finds as the branding and website makes it look? If so, can animations be reduced or disabled?

"If it wasn’t China, the US would be importing goods from elsewhere."

Other places don't cheat with market access or steal IP anywhere as much as China. Any economic rebalancing would have been far more gradual.

"What the US hasn’t done, is spread the benefits of trade internally. The US economic problems stem from whatever led to a small percentage of the economy pocketing the vast gains."

You mean policies such as open trade with China, which was inherently biased towards profits to the top, given the way offshoring worked?

This does not mean there weren't other factors at work, rather that China trade was one policy in an array of policies with a similar outcome.

"But it’s always easier to blame Johnny Foreigner and people have been doing it for millennia, so there’s no reason to believe the US would be immune from it. "

My country profited from the US's Free Trade advocacy, and I still think the US's China policy was either insane or driven by elite concerns. It's one thing to have free trade, another to have one-way free trade with a country that cheated so openly, and is now a superpower competitor.

Pepin himself starts out his video by saying that the omelet is the dish that he would judge a chef by, implying that it demonstrates all of the skills of the chef. I'm not sure how this is supposed to demonstrate that you can learn to cook in an hour.

It isn't all about you.

Are there any topics that are uninteresting when it's something that's of interest to a person you care about? The answer may be yes and that's fine. In that case if you care about that person you are still going to want to encourage and support their pursuit of that interest. Diversity of interest is a healthy thing.

I've found that just about anything is pretty interesting once you peel back the surface and try to understand how it works.
I mean, "Alexander the Great" was a great man by common definition. That should be pretty obvious. I'd expand that to other great conquerors - Genghis Khan, Napoleon, and many others.

Does Hitler really not belong on a list like that? So would Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt, of course - but I don't think greatness requires goodness.
