> What bugs me is that I'm really unsure if I should post anything critical of China, it's scary what that could mean for my family 30 years down the road.

I thought the same and I have no family ties there. (Though back in the early 00's I had fun studying in China and had wished to return.)

I'm more worried about what happens if we don't speak out. While we need to fix our Western democracies, we can't ignore the biggest threat to freedom in the world.

I think this virus situation could potentially unite the world in looking critically at supply chains and the CCP's motives and behavior.

When this is all over, I hope every county tallies the bill for the virus and subtracts that from their debt to China. The CCP lied, hid information, and told us to keep travel open while simultaneously welding people inside their homes. They then shifted blame to the West and threatened to cut off critical medical supplies. It's worse than negligent, and they should lose their investments overseas to repay the damage done.
My guess is that productivity is really from the ecosystem. It is easier to create and use modules in JS than Java/C#. You do not need to mend your codebase to use modules. Once you have all these third party modules it easier to move fast with the product.

Structural typing fit really nicely with existing JS. Typescript have all expressiveness of JS and granular control of type safety. Given this, there is a lot of sharp edges.
I've found this to be rarely as simple as the post makes it out to be. It might not be in one place, you might not know what to look for exactly and there is no way of knowing where the actual leak is coming from. You just know that some array or object is large. Also, instead of installing packages, you can achieve the same with the chrome dev-tools and running your process with --inspect.
The thing that grieves me is the pretense that monetary policy occurs in some apolitical realm.

The spirit of the 1787 Constitution is that people wielding vast power stand for election.

The Supreme Court does not.

If the argument is that the Federal Reserve resembles SCOTUS, fine.

But an outfit tantamount in power to a fourth branch of government ought not to have been rushed through legislatively at the end of 1913.

Reform, make transparent, and amend the Constitution to legitimize this entity, say I.
Thinking?

Telcos want to deploy 5G, customers aren't willing to pay more for it.

So they want to do it as cheaply as possible.

Not that vandalism is in any way an appropriate response, but people moving away from high infection areas is a big way in how the infection is spreading. Definitely a very selfish move.

That's insane. All the online grocery shops here in the UK work that way (pick slot first then pick items).

There are still no slots at all available anywhere for either delivery or collection though.
This rhetoric against China, legitimate or not, seems like a precursor to war. I wish somebody would investigate if a troll factory is behind it or if it truly is a popular opinion.

I think the main issue is that most europeans are just not so hot on a war with China as the americans are; even after a massive media campaign.

I believe the next move by the US will be to force TSMC not to supply Huawei.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-huawei-tech-chips-exc...

That will be a major blow to Huawei (and TSMC) and will force the Chinese to setup their own chip production as fast as possible. Will probably be quite a thing to follow.
These - that I've scanned - don't back up your point. They say that P2P transmission is happening (no argument with that these days), but your claim was that the WHO was silent for too long on this. I don't know what 'too long' is.

However, quick dig in wikipedia: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_outbreak_of_no...)

<<<
On 12 January, based on additional information from the Chinese National Health Commission, WHO stated that "at this stage, there is no infection among healthcare workers, and no clear evidence of human to human transmission."

So, fuck.

Ibuprofen is one thing. ACEI and ARBs are another. I'm prescribed the maximum dose of an ACE inhibitor and I really want to know whether or not the scarcity of Angiotensin II has caused the ACE2 receptors to upregulate in compensation. It seems like it would, and studies on animals show it does at least in some contexts (https://www.bmj.com/content/368/bmj.m810/rr-2). I completely understand it would be dangerous to suggest publicly as people might suddenly stop their blood pressure medicines and we'd have a spate of heart attacks and strokes. But it might be equally dangerous to not phase them off, at least for a few months, and onto something else in the meantime.

Just a quick question, what equipment and at what distance are you using to get 50/25?

Initially I had setup a PTP link at 3 km with MikroTik gear and got 10-20 Mbps, varying wildly.
I actually subscribed to an Internet connection over DSL in a building where I don't live and got permission to put an antenna and modem there to send Internet to my house.
Later I subscribed to an actual Internet company, doubting my own skills in setting up the link.
They don't offer anything over 10 Mbps, but I asked for them to let me have an unlimited link for an hour, and it did the same 10-20 Mbps with Ubiquiti gear.

Some WISPs use Cambium gear and apparently do offer 50 Mbps, but I'm not quite sure how well does that work, and how much better is Cambium, or i.e. Mimosa, compared to UBNT/MTik.
This article contains a logical error. The premise is JITs are hard to benchmark and keep good performance on. That's true.

But the alternative is bad performance all the time (the JITS fall back to interpretation, after all).

What's the value in having clearly understood bad performance? If you care enough about performance that you need to understand it, surely you care about the absolute level of performance.
To those who may be less interested in this course, the article has a link to a different one - Elements of AI, from a Helsinki University. From what I can gather it's the very basics, but could still be quite beneficial to those who want to learn a bit about AI.

I think you're being generous to the administration for assigning blame to China. We didn't really trust anything coming out of China before so why would we conveniently be expected to trust China regarding the virus? There was also plenty of time to see warning signs in countries like South Korea... not to mention several countries that much higher risk for the spread of the virus have contained it (Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore).

If you are to believe Trump then he saved a lot of lives by banning travel from China... and then killed a lot of people by doing absolutely nothing after that.

Thankfully due to the uniformization of employment rules across UE and the fight against discrimination, that is slowly going away, specially in digital industry where you just get to send a PDF or fill out a form, instead of that bureaucratic process.

But if you are applying to a company where work colleges still talk to each other with formal "Sie" after working together for decades alongside each other, then expect that process to still be the way how everything rolls.

I FaceTime my friends/family every night. We'll prop up our phones on our desks and eat dinner "together" or just mindlessly surf the web and share links to songs and videos. Sometimes we won't even talk at all if there's nothing to talk about, but it's still comforting having each other's presence on the phone. We'll chat if a topic of conversation comes up but it's nice not feeling pressured to talk as we carry on with our mundane tasks around the apartment.

In the UK it certainly isn't by my interpretation. The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, Regulation 35 & 36 is relevant.

Regulation 35 does allow compliance with alternative requirement, either Community Directive 75/443 or with ECE Regulation 39. These I am not familiar with, but the Regulation 36 regarding maintenance states:

"Every instrument for indicating speed fitted to a motor vehicle shall be kept free from any obstruction which might prevent its being easily read and shall at all material times be maintained in good working order."

Therefore, the original one would need to be removed to even begin to be legal.
The Americans might think of East Asians as their slaves, but experience has showed that even the vassals of the US are generally not as hard as the Americans/Europeans would like. This is but a reprisal of the old colonizers running around wrecking Asia to their will; I wonder if India will serve its old role of being the mercenary for destroying Asia again.
So the solution you propose means higher consumer prices (which hurts the lower class the most) and to prevent poor people from other countries the opportunity for a higher quality of life
How is it that the west allowed Huawei to gain such a lead in 5G? If this has national security implications, why didn't the US support its domestic telecom firms?
Not that guy, but at a basic level one possible approach is that everyone will have a digital signature, everything posted can be verified against the signature. A faker could create new content but they won't be able to sign it correctly.

The tools for digital signing already exist and are used in niche industries but not really something everyday people are concerned about. It's more a social awareness problem and this will come with better tools, integrated with the apps and channels ordinary people use daily so that it is something that happens in the background.

In addition to digital signing, public distributed ledgers can establish provenance or a chain of ownership for signed content, so digital content that is altered and redistributed can be sourced back to its origin more accurately.

Ordinary people with the right tools built into their devices will be able to see very easily "Is it in the chain?" based on a simple enquiry to the ledger, and if the answer is no, then it's untrustworthy.

If the answer is yes, then they will ask "Does trace to the origin?" and if it does not, or the origin isn't signed by the alleged owner, then it is untrustworthy.

That's one possible way crypto can help defeat disinformation / fake news content. The underlying techniques exist but there is a lot of work to do to bind it to everyday use.
Yes definitely. My ISP does not allow me to expose a DNS server to the internet, they told me it was against the law. So it seems you'd have to break the law in my country in order to be vulnerable to this!
> I think you're being generous to the administration for assigning blame to China.

I pay the administration no mind whatsoever. The way this has been handed by Trump is beyond incompetent. Placing the blame on China is an opinion I reached entirely on my own while the president was still out golfing.

I'm speaking out because I want our leadership to take action. I'll be asking my representatives to stick China with the bill. (They probably won't listen since I've been begging them to shut down and that hasn't happened. But maybe we can collectively turn this meme into compelling policy.)

> why would we conveniently be expected to trust China

China had an obligation to its citizens and to the world. The CCP decided they didn't care if the virus went worldwide. That's homicide, and they should pay for making people whole again.

I'm probably going to lose family members because of this, and I'm very mad about it.
In addition to the "it's cheaper" point (due to Huawei being a significant recipient of state aid, and European alternatives not being able to receive any state aid), it's worth keeping an eye on some of the wording being used by the UK government.

They've said nothing safety critical or necessary to critical national infrastructure can run over Huawei base stations. It will be a brave (i.e. foolish) mobile operator that turns away large connected vehicle contracts (clearly there will be significant safety implications there), or large scale industrial IoT users.

If the rules are applied as it seems they are designed to, it looks like the intention is to let the operators make that choice, rather than dictating who they will use, while putting in sufficient restrictions to heavily influence it.

Prior to the government's (long overdue) decision on this topic, which came after 5G non-standalone networks were deployed in the field in some cities, the operators all came out to say how much it would cost them to remove all their Huawei equipment and replace it. They lobbied hard to be allowed to keep using it! But it seems that perhaps they have been given a decision that they themselves haven't quite realised will feel an awful lot like a ban...
America historically is infamous for making sure that anything besides their system (capitalism, supposedly) fails to work, and taking quite an active approach to make sure it happens.

In theory, if you believed you're doing things the right way then you shouldn't have to worry about making sure another system fails (if it doesn't fail, then maybe you were wrong?).

This applies as much to startups and their attitudes towards competitors (you shouldn't worry about what your competitor does, only that your product is good) as it does to nations and their attitudes towards competing economic and government systems.

The crux of this issue is purely political, and based on fears of potentially losing American supremacy. The article even references China as a "rival", and that's exactly what the fears are based on: rivalry.

If you believe that these anti-China sentiments from these politicians have anything to do with a belief in freedom, democracy, or human rights, then you're just as brainwashed as the supporters of the Chinese communist party. If our politicians believed in human rights then why didn't they do anything to stop China earlier? Why do they only care when China releases cheaper better technology that could potentially unseat their dominance? Seems like a convenient time to start caring about freedom. Why is accepting cheap plastic crap acceptable, but advanced technology not acceptable?

What is the end-game here? If you disagree with the Chinese system then you should be taking action against them. Otherwise it seems like the goal is just to keep the country in a subdued position for eternity, allowing human rights violations so long as your own supremacy is kept?

Huawei is in large part built upon technology stolen from Cisco and Canada's Nortel Networks. In the latter case, there is strong evidence China was able to maintain access to Nortel's internal networks for over a decade (!!) which helped kill the 117 year old company. [1]

The government of China is systematically hacking corporations through the Ministry of State Security, and attempting to the switch the allegiances of all ethnically Chinese people across the world through the well-funded overseas political interference organization called the "United Front Work Department" [2]. In both the Australian and New Zealand parliaments, China has actually succeeded in installing individuals with undeclared links to government of China political interference and espionage organizations: Gladys Liu and Jian Yang. While there is no smoking gun that they are directly acting as spies, there is significant amounts of circumstantial evidence that they have been compromised by government of China influence operations. I don't need to explain the risk of politicians compromised by an adversarial government making key national defense decisions.

With this reality, why would any government risk allowing Huawei in their networks?

Exactly. I drove my Alfa Spider for over a decade with an unreliable speedo. I learned the multiplier for third and fifth gear from tach to speed, got a friendly town cop to verify it with his radar gun, and drove that car over 100K miles without ever being stopped for speeding.
That is pretty much correct from what I’ve read.

But take care to differentiate between surgical masks (only help protect others), and N95 protects both ways (protects the wearer from others, protects others from the wearer).

Go to 43:20 on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3URhJx0NSw and Michael Osterholm (a very clued up epidemiologist) says:

1. Surgical masks help prevent transmission

2. N95 masks help prevent catching it

Note also in that same section he says washing hands is probably a waste of time - because transmission vector is respiratory (duhhh). I think too much of our media and fear is concentrating hard on washing hands, with little science behind it for respitory viruses.
Exactly. The real question is - why do the chemicals cost $400,000? This seems to be a recurring theme with U.S. expenditure - particularly within the defense sector. When you get nearly blank checks from the government it’s not uncommon for items to be “marked up” so to speak and the difference pocketed by the vendors. Granted, this kind of stuff is pervasive across all sectors/layers.

“[A] McKinsey “business analyst”—someone with an undergraduate degree and no experience—lent to the government priced out at $56,707/week, or $2,948,764/year.”

No, at best you saw code that expects the compiler to not apply specific optimizations that C++ doesn't suggest or enforce. It's a compiler issue, thus if anything that code needs to be compiled accordingly.

As much as I would like to nuke C and any derivative that has copy-paste compatibility with it (C++, Objective-C,...), no one is going to rewrite Linux, BSD, OpenGL, Vulkan, DirectX, Windows,macOS, iOS, Android,.... in Rust.

So I do welcome hardware memory tagging, even if isn't perfect.

Apparently Google thinks the same way, given the Android is getting hardware memory tagging as requirement on ARM, with C and C++ still having more visibility than Rust on Fuchsia.

Just like Microsoft is doing by pursuing research in Project Verona and CHERI CPU, Checked C (hiring now for the team), Visual C++ Core Guidelines static analyser, focus on .NET, instead of going full speed with Rust.

Similar story can be told about Apple's ongoing changes.
Sure, but if you want a good price comparison you have to include the cost of the necessary storage.
> I don't have numbers, but I'm pretty sure the number of people infected by people that didn't know they were sick is significant.

So the US preaches nationalism, protectionism, and isolationism except when it's not in their own interest?
