I don't see the problem at all here. Can someone tell me what the outrage is all about.

Suppose DNC didn't draw up such a contract. The company developed a product under tight wraps, its internals unknown to anyone else. All the n-1 candidates who didn't win would scream about transparency and vote rigging. The voting history of everyone on that dev team would likely be dredged up by someone or the other.

The DNC did the right thing. It is not to say that they don't find devious ways of promoting an inside candidate, but I think that in this case they had no other choice.
Back in the day, that worked.

I hope they will add a proper BiDirectional[1] text support for languages like Arabic, Hebrew, etc. There is a prominent new standard for terminals[2] that should unify the support in the terminals and terminal programs. See the corresponding issue[3] in the Windows Terminal repository.

I was at the end of my rope and profoundly desperate to turn my credit score around. After speaking with Anonymous Credit Repairer, I felt comfortable and was willing to give them the opportunity to assist me and truth be told, I am pleased with the results they provided. My credit score did increase speedily; the communication between myself and them was excellent, fast and to the point. Very focused on what’s important. YOUR CREDIT!

That was a terrible interview - are they all like that? She was just shouting at him and every time he tried to elaborate on their testing mechanisms she just called him a communist. He asked for the evidence and she said that she doesn't need evidence... ??? !!!

As much as I assume that Huawei and co have backdoors in foreign electronics, I can't get over the racism and hatred for China shared by her and the comment section.

Are the comments real? Everyone is claiming that he's a traitor, a "Clinton friend", a liar, a commie, and that he should rot in hell. And the videos already got 80k views and a near perfect like/dislike ratio. Am I crazy for thinking this a bad interview, or does half the United States really feel this way?

Yeah I agree entirely. I don't know where to find this analysis.

I'd also argue that most analysis is likely to be incorrect given that the rapid growth and specifically industrial expansion of China into new industries is unprecedented.

Having said that, all analysis is incorrect at some level, but some is still useful.

(Also, someone is going an downvoting all my comments on this thread! I'm not sure why - I'm not making an argument for or against TPP, just trying to explain how it aimed to contain China. Someone even downvoted my comment pointing out that China is TPP participant Australia's biggest trading partner, so it was never designed to cut off all trade to China, just make the region less dependant on it. It's pretty annoying really)
The allegation is not copying, the allegation is fraudulent agreements with US companies, and dishonest corporate espionage.

Indeed, the business would continue. The issue is that in the west business owners would not see the merit in just giving a business away for the sake of the age ticking up.

In the west the business would get sold and merged. Only in Japan does the adoption make it a family or lineage thing.
more as ad advertisement slogan though. I've never seen someone in the west adopt another adult just to authentically continue a legacy (outside of European monarchies maybe). There is a sense of tradition to these Japanese companies that one doesn't see so often outside of Japan.
I scored 3.4 and got mid. When I read the parents comments I thought that might have meant a lower score was higher risk. I suspect it depends on the categories you answer.
> it's not going to strike a satellite from much of an angle above or below, because then it would by definition not be in orbit, correct?

Incorrect. Orbits are not all circular... elliptical orbits exist that could cross paths with every possible circular orbit. It's called the "eccentricity" of the orbit. If you knock something out of circular orbit, you may knock it into an elliptical orbit now making it a potential problem for a lot more satellites not in the original orbit.
It only takes a few pages to describe how to be rational. Cataloging the many ways people tend to be irrational, so they can detect and defeat their own biases, creates most of the word count. "Less Wrong" is apt, because it's organized around how people tend to be wrong.

I assume that this is actually a cynical guide to how your laziness as an employee is harming the war effort and not an actual field manual, right? It has to be.

The section where my mind was changed from "maybe this is actually a strategy" to "this is just a passive-aggressive list of grievances against anonymous subordinates" was all the machine shop sabotage suggestions. Nobody read the employee handbook when it said "sharpen your tools, store them properly, don't press too hard on your drill, and clean out the oil filters regularly", but when you say "the enemy never sharpens their tools, they store them so they'll break, and they're always pressing way too hard on the drill bits costing their employer PENNIES A DAY in replacement parts", suddenly it's your patriotic duty to do what Grandpa demands.

Everything reads like this. "Some idiot let the pilot light go out, lit a candle in the room, and then went home. Our building blew up and my precious stash of rare cigars was lost forever!" "You dumbasses flushed a sponge down the toilet AGAIN!? Are you kidding me!? WHY!?!?"

> less funding and more valueless throwaway products

Everything is derivative.

Even the latest generation of CPU technology pushing faster clock rates and adding more cores. It’s still derivative of the initial idea of the transistor.

You build value by building a moat. You make your business more valuable by making it harder for others to get into, almost like a natural monopoly.

Like consumer automobiles, which require a huge investment in societal knowledge and capability. Only a few countries can mass produce cars at a commercial level. Or commercial airplanes, where only a few companies can really make a profit. Or even Tesla, by changing the paradigm, from internal combustion engines, to fully electric drivetrains.

My initial comment was only to rebut the idea that you can’t do anything without massive amounts of patents and copyrights. Which in itself, has gone too far.
Generally speaking most reasonable people think basic healthcare should not put people in life-changing debt. They view any entity which puts people in such debt with serious suspicion, as being a clear part of that system.

When you were in middle school, 1920 was 8 or so lifetimes ago. Now it's closer to only 2-3 lifetimes ago.

I'd also reckon you can more easily relate to people who lived with older technology, having lived pre-internet yourself. When you are young, everything just is, and it's hard to relate with living differently.
I don't think anyone credible ever thought it would stop trade with China.

I think the dependency argument is more that if there is more trade between countries within the TPP system, it would have given China less policy strength because countries aren't as dependent on it.

If a country makes a large amount of their export income from a single source they are very vulnerable to policy blackmail by that country.
>Bloomberg journalists are compensated for stories that “move markets”.

Possibly, but that is fundamentally different from infotainment. Even with that bias, Bloomberg never writes an article which fails to answer the most basic questions one could ask about a given story (unlike most "news" [1]). I also qualify them as decent because they generally report trends not anecdotes. Contrast with your local TV station running 1000 crime stories a week no matter the crime stats.

> The article is mostly a summary of a DNC lawyer's own arguments that the DNC is not obligated to conduct a fair or transparent primary election to select the Democratic nominee.

Since the pretense of meaningful primary elections was a PR move made after some adverse PR with the old overt-backroom-arrangement system in the 1968 primary, the argument is hardly surprising. But the argument that they aren't obligated to do something isn't an acknowledgement that they did it, it's how you get a case dismissed at the earliest (and cheapest!) possible time: make the strongest possible argument that even if everything you are accused of is true, there would be no legal cause of action.

The conspiracy theory is making the leap from “they argued they are not obligated to do X” to “this must mean they did the opposite of X”.
What is with this argument that US did it 150 years ago (or X years), so it must be OK for China to do it? Is that how it works at work? Where one person steals your credit and therefore you feel it is OK to forever steal their credit? Is it what you would teach your children or how you would expect the criminal justice system to work? (Oh, everyone seems to break the law, so we'll just ignore laws in your case).

I think in terms of change, not all centuries are created equal. All things considered, I think the century from 1870-1970 saw more rapid change than any other in history (including 1920-2020). Planet money did a piece the other week about this idea and how economic growth seems to have slowed down never to return to its 20th century levels.

If this idea is true, those in the 1920s share more with us (familiarity with cars, mass media, urbanization) than those just 50 years prior.

I don't know about that,ease of access means more people know how to maintain it. Specialized software means you need more hard to replace people making it have a higher cost of ownership. You're talking about maintainance from a developer perspective not a managerial perspective. Being cumbersome to maintain is not the same has requiring specialized knowledge ,specialized interoperability,licensing issues,training costs,etc...
Some of that performance is negated by WSL. The storage in particular, if you're using WSL 1. I find node development intolerable.. npm likes to write many small files and installs take ages.

Here's the secret, most "news" makes your view of the world less accurate, not more. So like with many things, the key is quality over quantity.

Check out the Media Bias Chart: https://www.adfontesmedia.com/static-mbc/?v=402f03a963ba

To know what's going on you only need 10 minutes a day skimming stories from a few outlets at the top of the triangle. You can have a remarkably well rounded knowledge of global affairs just from following Reuters' freely available Top News RSS feed. 10min a day on that feed and you will have a better picture of the world than 90% of your peers.

Most people's media consumption is far greater than 10min a day. They stick to one slope of the triangle or another. The problem with all these sites as you go down the slope is that they get increasingly more sensationalist, and even when they remain technically accurate they try to paint an engagement-driving, adversarial, perpetual crisis view of the world.

When you slide down the slope of the triangle you end up feeling like the world is doomed, the enemy is on the rise, everything is broken, because that's how the publisher wants you to feel, because they know it keeps you coming back.

Cut your media diet down, spend 80% of your time on the facts, and 20% on occasional long read analysis from both sides. You'll get smarter and your anxiety will disappear.

As for social media... from a news/events standpoint at least, it's just garbage. A billion lost souls jockeying for imaginary status with imaginary people. Avoid.
Depending on state servers are supposed to be paid non-tipped rate for not tipped parts of work including training and meetings.
Of course good luck getting that without being at willed for "unrelated" reasons.
The premise is that Apple is very generous with apology compensation / gifts, even outside of repairs. An agent doing so over a certain $ amount draws additional attention to the individual from the business.
These coupled with the fact that they received no compensation or gift indicates a number of things, among which is that they chose not to gift anything to minimize attention brought to themselves. I'm just hypothesizing. Regardless, they clearly need to be retrained.
> Only in Japan does the adoption make it a family or lineage thing.

No. Every culture worldwide accepts adoption. A child, grandchild, nephew, etc, continuing a business keeps the business in the family. Whether the child is adopted or not, and regardless of the age of adoption.

How to Ace a Job Interview
If you want to ace a job interview, then just like an Olympian you should prepare well by learning good interview tips like the information found in this article.
https://pursuingoutdoors.com/post-sitemap.xml

The first thing that you should practice and master is all the technical aspects related to the field you are applying for. By having practical knowledge of the company such as the essential job requirements and company current events should help you in what to say at the job interview. For example, if you were applying for a computer programmer position, you need to be up to date on the latest information as this field’s technology changes very quickly. A good interview prep or preparation on what to say at a job interview results from studying over your résumé before you submit it to the company for a job, as the interviewer will most likely ask you questions referring to it.

https://pursuingoutdoors.com/post-sitemap.xml

If you really want to know how to ace a job interview, another good interview tip is be ready to answer very quickly and accurately during the interview, because during the interview process you will have very little time to think and respond, unlike taking a written test. Therefore, even if you have the head knowledge, it is still important that you practice the question and answers orally out loud as well. Being fluent in your speech and using simple and clear language while responding to the questions asked by the person conducting the interview will give you the edge on your competition and how to ace a job interview.

Moreover, the level of confidence that you display will also be tested at this time, and it’s advisable for you to sharpen this skill to prepare you for the interview. Another good interview tip is to never let the interviewer know if you are anxious in any way. Always, stay calm, cool and confident because this kind of mannerism will be a great way to show them how to ace a job interview.
