What you describe would be an incentive if China was able to capture Taiwan and it's technology intact with a short war.

But most reports I read make that sound impossible given that Taiwan is quite well armed and determined to resist China.

Of course, I'm not an expert here.
Go is done and maintained by google employees. JavaScript specification has syndicate behind it. Rust has clear governance, through I cant find who pays for it all.

Any big enough project will formalize relationships at one point or another - latest when they need to raise money or organize conference. These projects are too big to be run over the weekend, they do have to pay regular staff.
> this seems to be typical sexism: there’s work at home which is paid, and work at home which is not

If it’s not paid, how do those doing it live?

Tax documents call the salary worker + home maker combo “household income”, which may be an appropriate way of thinking about the household getting paid and the household looking after the home.

This applies regardless of the genders of the happy couple, so I’m not sure it’s ‘sexism’.

Based on the very different commercial, cultural and political constraints they operate under, I would imagine any institutional failure would probably be unique to COMAC and certainly not a repeat of Boeing.
Most people would agree we need clearer legal framework around this.

I like a business vs home analogy. If you build a storefront, it needs to be wheelchair accessible. That seems reasonable to me.

If I build a home in the middle of nowhere, my own home does not have to be wheelchair accessible but if I want to build a home in a city, that city may require my home to be wheelchair accessible.

I suspect Berkeley thought they were building an addition on their home, not their business.

Still, it's clear that my analogy is NOT how it works in the real world. There's a critical lack of clarity here, and answers are needed especially for blogs and personal sites.

I personally strongly believe that when we build things for people with disabilities, they become so much easier for people without disabilities to use. I'd personally like to see websites easier to use with screenreaders and other 3rd party aides. But I don't think it should apply to personal webpages or small blogs.

It doesn't really matter what I think though. The legal requirements today are quite unknown.
This is awesome!

>They'll sell the most lucrative products first while ramping up the R&D to tap into more markets when those eventually saturate.

People keep saying stuff like this, which has no basis in reality. Here is the data:

https://ycharts.com/companies/TSLA/r_and_d_expense

They haven't even doubled R&D with the Model 3, from a low base, and R&D has actually DECREASED since 3 years ago. Where do you see them "ramping up the R&D"?

Tesla is averaging about $1.5B annually in R&D spend. For comparison, GM spent $7.8B last year. VW spent over $13B.

Tesla aren't even investing fast enough to keep up with their capital depreciation, but somehow people keep saying things like, "they're re-investing all their profits". If they are, show the data.

>They have the Tesla semi ready to go as well in limited volumes

Really? Where are they building it?

DigitalOcean has been instrumental in helping me transition from a college graduate into a professional developer who can build and design entire backends.

Those 5$/mo droplets let me explore a lot of software and run proper production-like benchmarks for my own learning.

Over time I moved a lot of my personal projects and infra over to DO (and started working on new ones now that I had a good provider to host them on).

And now with the new managed offerrings for the CORE technologies people need (databases, caches, K8S etc.) I'm happy to see that I can start being a little more productive with my side projects.

So, in essence I want to thank the people at DigitalOcean for what they've built and continue to build.
Neko seriously feels like magic the first time you run it. With just one Docker command you can run FireFox on a VM, and then access it via your browser. The technology to do this is really cool, but I think the possibilities it opens up are even more amazing!

* You can share a browser instance with friends to do things together (shop, watch videos)

* You can have a really weak local machine, and then keep things like Slack open an a powerful machine remotely.

* You can put this on a Bastion host and use it to access services inside your LAN.

Especially since this is Open Source I can see people doing lots of cool things :) I had no involvement in the development, but it uses a library I work on Pion WebRTC [0]

I'm not sure why this is being posted now since Apple pulled the update a couple days ago.
Yep, that’s exactly my fear. If we collectively think of it as banned then we will have no societal defense for it.
The never-ending Skylake is/was a real problem. Intel was slowly adding features in a manner where it made sense to target last n generations but then all that came to a perpetual stop and suddenly we have this new extension that you can only really use on the very latest and most expensive, with virtually no backwards compatibility.

The instructions are sufficiently different from AVX2 that any appropriate use is not as simple as sticking it behind a gate and using a smaller block size, it basically requires a completely separate (re)write to properly take advantage of.
Additionally, it looks like each subset of AVX-512 past the foundation is an optional feature and needs to be tested for. With only a few exceptions (usually as a result of bickering between Intel and AMD), previous ISA extensions implied you had everything that came before it too.

In practice this means you could pick a few entire subsets: Legacy+SSE2 is always there for 64 bit, maybe test up to SSE4.2 for another subset. Maybe switch everything from REX to VEX if it has AVX and AVX2. That's effectively three back ends, which is manageable. With AVX-512, everything beyond AVX-512F is a la carte, and that adds unwanted complexity for instruction selection in a compiler.

Just look at all the separate AVX feature flags from CPUID:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPUID#EAX=7,_ECX=0:_Extended_F...

Between the performance problems and complexity, I think it'll be a while until AVX-512 is attractive.
I think there are plenty of people who believe "if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." I'm lucky enough that my job is both interesting and impactful. The people that surround me are either incredible scientists or like working for a company that strives to, and does, make an impact in the world.

I think it's perfectly fine to not care about your job to a higher degree than necessary, and I also think it's fine to seek out work based on social impact rather than salary. Most people can't have it both ways, and end up having to make a choice at some point.

Literally the first paragraph of the article:

> BEIJING/PARIS (Reuters) - Development of China’s C919 single-aisle plane, already at least five years behind schedule, is going slower than expected, a dozen people familiar with the program told Reuters, as the state-owned Commercial Aircraft Corporation (COMAC) struggles with a range of technical issues that have severely restricted test flights.
> not just computer experts.

Which is itself misleading - no living expert understands a computer system end to end, from silicon to microcode to code and compiler, not to mention the massive chain that went into making the code running on the machines.

That's all assuming the black box the expert is looking at is the same one he thinks he understands, and no chip- [1] or compiler-level [2] vulnerabilities were inserted, or the whole thing wasn't simply replaced with an identical-looking device.

Yeah, I had that pattern in mind as I was choosing my phrasing.

Coworkers know that they can come to me and say, "hey dude, your code is busted and 4 people can't get work done," I'll drop everything and fix it if I can't give you a workaround (and it'll bug me until I do fix it). I like that passion in others. I get into a little trouble when that passion is about completely fixable things that are dragging down productivity and morale. I'm not particularly repentant about that either.

But when it's some tie telling me we have to work weekends because they didn't listen when we told them "shipping this functionality by April 3rd is a dangerous fiction and you need to come up with a new plan?" you're on your own pal. If you can't hear 'no' then you can't make useful contingencies. Also it probably means you don't respect the people I respect and that's gonna be a problem.
> Just walk away then, no need to set the door on fire.

That's what he is doing: simply walking away.

But he doesn't owe you anything, and that'exactly what you are getting.

It's astonishing how some people feel entitled to other people's life work. It's like you believe others owe you everything just because you like their work.
Context is important. This is Berkeley. They can do text to speech at an inconsequential cost. Other websites probably not so much.

It's important to acknowledge economic/technical realities separately from value systems.

We can disagree on whether a society should provide for their blind members.

But it's harder to disagree on the proposition that Stanford can definitely provide subtitles for these videos without sacrificing anything of consequence on their end.

It's also difficult to disagree on the proposition that requiring this of all individual bloggers would be an onerous requirement on them.

It's also important that Berkeley is a public school, so a question is "should the government, or parts of the government, be inaccessible to blind people".

Right now it's hard to know what the current legal requirements even are, so we tend to only argue over what they should be. And that's more of a discussion of value than fact.
> It may have also been the case, that before industrialization, metal smelting, and anything-faster-than-walking the world was inherently safe.

I would disagree: historically, kids had to cope with other threats - illnesses, toxic or otherwise deadly animals, general accidents that are "tiny nothings" today could cripple or even kill you back then because there were no antibiotics...

Back 200 years ago, this only worked because people bred like rabbits. Partially of course because there was no birth control (or its usage, e.g. intestines as condoms, frowned upon by the church) , but also because if you had 10 kids it didn't matter if all survived and losses were expected/built in. Now with people having only one child or two, these must be protected to ensure family survival, and that is where helicoptering comes from.

> When our workplaces have a spot for our cars and not our children, should be surprised that car ownership climbs and fertility falls?

The other idea would be to provide livable wages again. I am 28 now, my father was barely 20 and a fresh police officer when I was born - but he could solely fund me, my sister, my mother and himself, saving enough on the side for a downpayment on a 100+ m2 flat.

Today? Many young policemen have to work side gigs to make rent, and my s/o and I plan for the first kid in 3 years from now because without us both working (she's finishing her MSc) we don't stand a chance to financially survive, and forget about saving anything or buying a place to live if our parents would not support us financially. And that doesn't even include the question "who will stay home for how much time/reduce their hours".

Provide real wages, limit workdays to 4x6 or 5x6 hours a week (and ENFORCE this) and whoops, there are the children that have been missing. If people don't feel safe they don't have kids.
Thank you. I now see where we differ in our beliefs. We have to just agree that we may never agree on what responsibilities lie with a maintainer (if he is not paid for it by the users(s)).
the subtle attention to detail apple applies to their trackpad makes it almost magical.

I don't even notice the apple trackpad when I'm using it. Others, I do notice.
Yeah, on the applied side there's still a ton of work left to be done to make productionization of machine learning systems easier. We still lack good tooling for data annotation, experiment tracking, model calibration/evaluation and monitoring.
Awesome!

Native North Carolinian checking in.

I'm from Charlotte and I can honestly say that I grew up with more friends who had parents from New York than from NC. A lot of middle class people from upstate NY settled in Charlotte due to the economic opportunities and weather.

I'd wager that this migration really started about 30 years ago, and we're seeing the numbers increase even further due to network effects. For example, we've got a sizeable community of former Buffalo residents who gather over football games at restaurants that are run by other Buffalo natives.

For what it's worth, New Yorkers seem to be very culturally compatible with North Carolinians, we get along just fine. I feel like I've seen a bit less animosity for New Yorkers in NC than I saw for Californians in Seattle. There are jokes (ie, the town of Cary in the NC Triangle is sometimes said to stand for "Containment Area for Relocated Yankees"), but it never feels like genuine resentment.

I may just be biased though because buffalo-style pizza in particular has spoiled every other style of pizza for me. Please Buffalo peeps: keep coming here and sharing your food culture with us.
Perhaps this is just a growing pain, and they’ll eventually figure it all out. And it’s a good thing they did extensive testing and caught this now, while it was still in development. This is where you are supposed to catch these errors.

Maybe this article was purposefully released to spread lies and defame COMAC’s reputation? Because that is what western journalism is pushing out these days about China.

But the bottom line, is that COMAC didn’t have 2 of their planes fall out of the sky, like Boeing did.

I made much the same point in the other conversation about this.

The beauty of open source code is you can take it, modify it, and even improve and rename it in a lot of cases.

So much of today's internet has to be a fight or a shitstorm. For no reason at all.
Good point. At the same time all browsing history is logged somewhere and could be self documenting.
True, but you tend to question their statements much more now.
This is why I have a bit of an aneurysm whenever all of these wildly disparate things are lumped together under the umbrella of "STEM". Notably, we keep medicine in the acronym, but in almost all discussions, doctors and nurses and everything else that would fit under that heading are forked out already. - Edit: derp, it's Math, not medicine, but there's an indication of how brain-rotted I've gotten trying to follow this subject.

Each of them is it's own world with it's own context and it's own problems.
Society is supporting women who raise children and men who provide. This worked quite fine for the history of human civilization, but it's painful for women that want to build careers and men who want to be with their families.

First of all, there are very many people that are content with that situation. There is no easy solution for those that aren't, because nature does play a huge part and those 9 months and at least the first year are very important for the baby and mother. There is no way the father can provide the same emotional and physical support, so he might as well ensure that his family is otherwise taken care of.

repetition of patterns is the easy part, so getting rid of the easy part and leaving the difficult part might not make much difference in the end. Especially as the easy part can be an access point to the more complicated.
Repossessing an asset has nothing to do with punishing the borrower and everything to do with giving the lender something they can sell to make themselves as whole as possible.

> Are they really? An honest question

Not an economist. But many of us perceive that in the US today the middle class is contracting. A few people from that class may migrate to the upper class-- good for them-- but probably the overwhelming majority of folks migrate downwards.

So if OP means that in a context where there is a lot of quite expensive real estate you would expect also to find a good number of people who are so marginalized that they are living in their cars or on the streets, then yes, they are linked.

Amazing how it happens neither with Chrome nor Safari. Any idea how they solved that problem?
The really nice thing is that the RK3399, while an old and not particularly fast ARM, has almost entirely open documentation. A bit of googling should land both parts of the TRM, which covers every bit of the SOC's registers and devices minus the Mali.

The follow-on RK3588 announced last year with 4x A76's (and 4x A55s) in 8nm should completely crush the RK3399 performance wise. If it comes with open documentation too, it could be a killer hacker chip this year.

(just to add to that)
The RK3399 has 2x A72's with a peak frequency of 2Ghz and 4 A53's. The RPi's 4x A72s easily run at 2Ghz as well, given a heatsink. For most workloads the much faster A72s are a big advantage over the A53s.
> My biggest takeaway from the article is that you'd have to be an absolute sucker to work in academia given how poorly you'll be treated.

Yeah. I forget what the term is but there are a number of occupations where's there's a big gap between the "lottery winners" and the hoi polloi.

Arguably even the winners in academia don't make that much in terms of money but they're still viewed as successful professionals, have a decent lifestyle, and do OK--especially if they're not in the highest cost areas.
You haven’t read my comment from two levels up. There’s nothing to fork on the original repo.
I had a similar situation, but, a completely different outcome.

I had my wallet stolen on one of my work trips, and had all of my credit cards deactivated and new numbers issued. Digital Ocean's emails went to my "bulk" folder, and I missed the notifications saying that they were going to disable, then deactivate my service.

What caught my attention was one of the support guys emailing me and saying basically, "Hey, I see that you've been a customer for a long time -- we're going to give you 30 more days to fix this (and btw, you still owe us for your services so far) before we delete everything."

That support interaction -- that wasn't flagged as spam -- is literally what kept my data, and it keeps me using Digital Ocean: amazing support.
In our current society, where the other side is the greatest evil imaginable, the lesser evil of accepting fraud to secure victory is seen as preferable to losing.

This is generally what the end of free society looks like.
I've seen some articles suggesting that berberine (plus sylamarin) may be superior to metformin with fewer side effects (plus it's cheaper and doesn't require a prescription).
But landlords kind of do that... there’s even an entire TV show dedicated to it, called Storage Wars. People didn’t pay the bill for their storage locker so the owners of the locker sell off all the stuff inside.
Boeing was cutting corners to try and have to avoid pilots being required to certify on 737-MAX if they have certs for previous decades of 737s.

There's literally no way that any state flight administration would allow any previous certifications to apply to such a new airplane, so it's more just growing pains of a new design.

Of course it doesn't make sense, that was my point! In the same way it doesn't make any sense to do what you're doing, which is comparing the explicit statement of liability in the license to the social norm of how open source projects are framed & run.

You missed the point that everything we're talking about is just social norms. The license is irrelevant here, for all sides. There is no legal issue being disputed.
