According to Chinese nationality law, dual citizenship is impossible for people who naturalize under another country. As a matter of law to the Chinese government, they would lose their Chinese citizenship automatically, to be enforced any time the issue comes up, such as for passport renewal or getting visas to visit under a foreign passport.

I had the same thought. OP talks about authored code, but then lists all the pieces that are glued together into a solution.

That takes some customization, but he's not talking about a software product, he's talking about what amounts to a professional services integration of several existing products. Consulting gigs like that can make you money for your time, but the end result is too specific to the situation with too few lines of original code to have much/any value.

If OP hasn't been paid for his work and it's being suggested this software is his pay, then I'm going to agree with other posters and say his co-founder is just dumping him and walking away with anything worthwhile, including the percentage of the corporation OP had which might be worth $$$$ or $0 in the future depending and leaving him with worthless code... and if there's a no-compete written into the sunset agreement for him, he probably can't even use the code, sell it, or consult with it.

My last debit card's chip lasted at least the three years it took for the card to expire.
No, in the EU the user and retailer directly pay all fees, and the size of the fees and transparency is regulated.
They do, in the sense that the consumer is charged the same price independently of which card they paid with.
Not sure, why this article is on HN front page.
In what way is mapbox-gl not free? It's developed in the open, and works with all types of layers. I switched to mapbox-gl the moment it came out, because I already was making my own vector tiles as needed for interactive maps.

There is only one issue I encountered in the short few years it's been my go-to choice, which is that there are no plugins to integrate Google Streetmaps or Streetview. There are however, for leaflet as Google Mutant and Leaflet Pegman.

What is the level of maptalks integration with Google layers? How is it better than mapbox-gl?

EDIT:
There is an issue with the zooming and baselayer being completely out of sync with the buildings here:

A lot of the fear comes from Climate Change being the perfect storm for this problem:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_action_problem

It is very easy to blame the Koch Brothers or Exxon but just watch what the Yellow Jackets do when you tell them you'll raise the price of gas.

People will try to frame it in a partisan way ("e.g. our government is now a weak state thanks to the Koch Brothers") but it's a tough problem no matter how you slice it. One "holdout" can always keep everyone else from making a meaningful commitment. If the U.S. suddenly becomes "climate friendly" you will find that now Germany or China or some other country is the blocker.

If Mike Bloomberg actually wanted to do something about climate change he'd allocate $5 billion a year to iron fertilization and dispersing sulfur aerosol in the upper atmosphere. Only the threat of an "independent" taking control of the climate if the rest of us don't act can break the impasse.
I'm curious where you're located. This was exactly my experience in "tech" startups in NYC, but not my experience at all working in SF. This is a big part of the reason why I have zero interest in leaving SF for some upcoming tech city, as in my experience you are correct there is a tendency to push engineers away from any business decisions, but much less so in SF which has a culture that ties engineering to entrepreneurship more closely. One explanation I've noticed is that the VCs in the Bay Area are far more likely to have technical backgrounds, whereas in NYC the VC firms almost always have finance backgrounds, and that culture bubbles down.
I was in a bookstore in Brooklyn that didn't have contactless when I asked, and the cashier said, "we're a bookstore, we don't have that sort of thing".

I replied, "I paid for a bottle of water in a vending machine with this 10 minutes ago."
Honestly these prices are better than I thought they would be. Topping out at ~$50k is extremely competitive with the likes of Dell for example.

These are not the kind of machines normal people buy of course but instead studios or a very specific kind of person who knows what they need and why.

Anyone complaining about the markup on memory and storage most likely don't work in industries that buy these kinds of machines so it will be jarring to them but I can quite confidently state that Apple's markups here are not obscene in the slightest, at least compared to alternatives. Honestly I am kind of shocked to see the high end spec under $60k.
It's about maximizing density, which corresponds roughly to 1) minimizing energy by making the aggregate have as low of a center-of-gravity as possible, and 2) minimizing entropy of the arrangements of the components. Often energy and entropy minimization coincide quite closely but don't exactly share the same minimum nor optimization path.
> Do any banks or CUs offer rewards programs for debit cards?

Yes, Discover, for one. But percentage is lower, because I assume the fees are lower for debit.
Mind you, in some cases the regulations were put in place to discriminate against minorities. See https://crosscut.com/2018/12/rectifying-seattles-racist-past... for a great example.

IMHO you can't just say "regulation is good" or "regulation is bad." Intent and consequences both matter.
Mapbox's tiles are very good. I particularly like the hybrid terrain + road mode, which you can see here: https://homes.stltoday.com/search
Because it works. The earliest industrial base of the United States was created from textile production IP stolen from the United Kingdom, which eventually outcompeted British textiles.

The American government has been captured by the American CEO class, who don't suffer from IP theft since they get paid before the IP theft bears fruit, so the government doesn't care.

A 2013 federal law allows one to include any income to which they have a reasonable expectation of access including income from spouse, partner or other member of household.

In VC? One of KSA's best known VC investment so far is Uber. They invested $3.5Bn at $65Bn valuation [1]. Uber has a current market cap of $47Bn.

One of their best investments has a near negative 30% return. If they just put money in the S&P 500 in 2016, they'd have gotten a ~64% return (positive).

I'd actually argue the "non-Pro" iMac fills that space for a lot of people. An 8-core i9 with a 1TB SSD and 32GB of RAM is $3600 (or ~$3200 if you buy it with the stock 8GB of RAM and upgrade it yourself, as that's one of the few Macs you can still easily do that with!), and that's a pretty serious computer. For a web developer and writer like me, it's arguably already overkill.

I think there's still a desire for a "midrange" headless Mac between the Mac mini and the Mac Pro, but that's been something people have wanted for many years -- it's pretty clear Apple doesn't think there's enough of an addressable market there to make it worthwhile. (I also think people underestimate how much power you can actually stuff into the current Mac mini as long as your work doesn't require a serious GPU.)
I don't know how the US would know this when doing his clearance check. It's not as if the US can call up China and ask to verify. And if they do provide that answer, should the US trust it?

The whole national origin thing, though, seems to be a red herring because there are plenty of Americans of Chinese birth who do not spy for China and there have been cases of non-Chinese born Americans who've sold the US out to various different countries, including China.
They should do a remake subbing the characters.
If you have kids, I strongly recommend Abby Howard's graphic novels on dinosaurs and other prehistory (Dinosaur Empire, Ocean Renegades, and Mammal Takeover). [1]

They not only depict the current understanding of dinosaurs as feathered, complex creatures (rather than always showing raptors shrieking and attacking), but also dive into the science of paleontology, evolution, and ecological adaption. Plus the art is fantastic.

I cannot recommend them enough.

It's been super fun to see my 5 year old not only enjoy them, but also point out where older books on dinosaurs got stuff wrong.

Wonder how he got ahold of a document marked “confidential”, assuming it was actual national security information, and not “company confidential”. Either an insider passed it too him, or poor security practices at employer.
> They also note that the federal office that supervises defendants on probation has concluded monitoring is no longer necessary because Chen has complied with all the conditions of his release and found full-time employment.

Wow, a company hired him? That surprises me.
As far as I'm aware, there is no FCC regulation on non-RF networking. You are allowed to peer with whomever will accept you and if you send them garbage data, they'll just stop peering with you and block access to the internet. Criminal behavior conducted via internet is of course regulated by normal criminal law.
It's a subtle difference, but I would say a change in phrasing is what's needed.

Rather than "you are a complete idiot" it should be "You are acting like a complete idiot" or better "In this instance you've been duped/fooled, you're being taken advantage of"
Moreover, I'm finding this notion that some economic actors have more "moral" right to a big slice of the profit-pie than others really hard to pin down. As in, it sure seems like the idea collapses as soon as you breathe in its direction, unless I'm missing something big.

[EDIT] that is, I don't follow why it's fine (presumably) for companies to seek to maximize returns, negotiating as a large block of people pooling their labor and capital, but not for workers to do that.
It does blow Ryzen out of the water in PCIe slots and DIMM slots. The Mac Pro is optimized for the high end so you should probably compare against an 8-core Epyc.
Nuclear was the future of merchant shipping, rocketry, electricity production, liquid chemical fuel production and lots of other things since the 60s.

I remember commercials like 15 years ago advertising the contactless cards but never have actually seen anyone use them in the US except for things like Apple/Android Pay. Lots of CC terminals have the symbol but it's never used. I remember a waiter in Europe trying to tap my card on the CC terminal multiple times before I mentioned that it's just a chip.
I think you're overestimating the complexity of all this. I pay most things via a 2% cash back card. Just the monthly statement to manage, no need for multiple cards, and no keeping track.

I get $500/year back on health insurance premiums alone from that, let alone all the other spending. Everything except my mortgage can be run through it.
That's a separate term. I think what you're parent is talking about is letting light commercial (as in small shops) build without getting cumbersome regulatory approval first, i.e. let them simply comply with the law instead of needing a specific permit.

>An as-of-right development complies with all applicable zoning regulations and does not require any discretion­ary action by the City Planning Commission or Board of Standards and Appeals. Most developments and enlargements in the city are as-of-right.

In addition to merchants, the group which really ends up losing are customers paying with cash/debit, as they don't harvest any CC rewards from their groceries but still pay the inflated price that merchants have to charge to keep up with swipe fees. I'd argue these high fees are a "tax" on those with poor creditworthiness/financial knowhow
I mean, if you've ever hosed your ubuntu (etc) installation by replacing your system's python2 with python3, you already get the why.
That would be one example of a fallacy.....I guess maybe what I'm trying to get at is more so something that addresses the more common (frequency of occurrence) examples of ~"imperfect communication" (fallacies &/or rhetorical techniques, intentional or not), that can be most commonly observed in modern day media, both traditional (news) and social (forums, facebook/twitter, etc).
I agree mathematically but wealth is very much a relative phenomenon, hence the term "inequality". Yes if an alien dropped a bunch of real wealth on the planet and gave it to a lucky individual, the others would be no poorer, but they would sure feel it (all else equal).

This is obviously a highly complex and lengthy topic that spurs tons of thought experiments but I generally agree with your latter point.
You're blaming people for trying to hit the lottery. Who wouldn't want to build a thing and then flip it for a billion dollars, all in a few years?

It's amazing how many people are misinformed here, because this guy is right. It's illegal to discriminate on country of origin, full stop[1]. It's illegal to discriminate on citizenship, unless it's mandatory. If someone is authorized to work in the US, you cannot take their country of origin into account[2]. If they require sponsorship, you are not required to provide it.

For the small class of jobs that require citizenship, it is illegal to discriminate on naturalization status.[3]

First off it says in that article also says:

"The U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence said it does collect information about economic and financial matters, and terrorist financing.

"What we do not do, as we have said many times, is use our foreign intelligence capabilities to steal the trade secrets of foreign companies on behalf of - or give intelligence we collect to - U.S. companies to enhance their international competitiveness or increase their bottom line," it said in a statement."

Secondly have you noticed there have been no additional news articles about this since 2015 when the story first broke? Don't you think if there was an actual violation that occurred that Airbus would still be looking out for its shareholders and there would be more legal cases and formal complaints?

If you look at PPD-28 you'll see that it strictly forbids economic espionage. I can think of lots of reasons why US Spy Agencies might be interested in looking at the network activity - "spying" - on companies such as Airbus, but one of those reasons isn't for economic advantages because it is banned by law. Executive order 12333 is also largely the legal basis for SIGINT and PPD-28 is a public policy directive that adds further legal and regulation nuance to how that executive order is done in practice. However 12333 clearly authorizing things on the basis that it is of importance to national security only. It is clear enough from reading it the authorization is not for economic advantages. So even without PPD-28 which confirms that is true and explicitly states it, even without it there has never been a legal basis in 12333 to do such a thing.

This is a quote from lawfareblog in an article linked below from 2014, also they did have some criticisms of PPD-28 when it was announced, however it states: "Third, it forbids economic espionage for non-national security purposes like advantaging US industry." In one of the most positive aspects of the author's analysis of PPD-28 they also stated how remarkable it is that the US even has a policy directive on SIGINT, because no other country states what they do with regards to SIGINT.

You can read more about PPD-28, what it says along with what I think is fair, informed and well researched analysis here:

Even if they did you shouldn't use a debit card due to how fraud is handled (compared to a credit card). This article has a good summary:

In general you should minimize your debit card transactions and make them via credit card (paying off the full balance each month).

American Express charges a higher fee, and as a result, it is accepted less at businesses than VISA.
How many stores are in Botswana vs how many are in America? How many in America were taking credit card 15 years ago vs Botswana? And those 15 year old machines that still work, the CC companies wanted the retailers to pay them to replace the machines for chip and pin and got push back. There's a reason why you used chip and pin in BFE, and not at the Chinese restaurant down the street.
Well, there's another comment in this thread that mentioned a machine from Dell that's comparable to the maxed-out Mac Pro comes in at around $49K.

Your parenthetical is also important; the target market for the Mac Pro (and that Dell) is very, very tiny and it's just not going to be comprised of people kit-bashing stuff they're picking up at MicroCenter.
Thanks for checking it out! The obvious answer is, you may want to clear it when you have code changes that you'd like to see without restarting the server. You can configure the opcache to never check if files have changed. This makes it even quicker because it doesn't have to check modification times on files. Unfortunately, if you do that, changes to your code aren't ever going to be reflected. This can cause issues in wordpress whenever you update plugins and such. The plugin we wrote automatically will notify php that it needs to clear the opcache so that those changes can be reflected. This way you can have the opcache configured for the highest performance without suffering the drawbacks of not being able to easily update plugins automatically.
And this is more egregious (in Apple's perception, anyway): current employees poaching current employees.
>Lower interest rates tend to favor financial incumbents because they make money anyway because they have more and can sit on it

You need both technical and non-technical management skills, and if you can't get both in the same person (likely!), you need the people from each side in a relationship that's based on trust and recognition of each other's expertise.

Too often these relationships break down and become adversarial, to the detriment of everyone involved, and of course the project.

Alternatively, you can configure the opcache to check mtime on files, but there is a performance hit for doing that, since each request will be checking the mtime on potentially hundreds of files before accepting that the cache is up to date.

Oregonian here. HB 2001 is great, but Oregon still has insane housing regulatory requirements, which is why most homeowners in Portland at least completely ignore getting permits for most work (no data to back that up, just what we noticed when purchasing a house here -- most work is unpermitted).

Like, you have to plant a tree on your property if you improve it more than 25k (so if you rewire an old house, or decide to split your home into a separate unit to rent and create housing, like we're doing right now). This applies even if you have no yard. Trees are expensive, but yards are more expensive, especially in a city where space is at a premium. This is an insane requirement when there are people sleeping on your streets because there are not enough beds for them. That is only one example. The heavy hand of Uncle Ted is felt everywhere here, so HB 2001 is not enough.
The concept is national security. Credibility is a non issue, same with which administration is in power. This is done because of national security concerns and it absolutely makes sense to reject a foreign powers communication equipment and at the same time continually push for access to hardware being developed in country or abroad.
