> it was never designed to look like Chinese

Not so quick, there are design decisions that deliberately carry over certain fundamental features from Chinese:

1. The script is not linear at its unit of writing, but fills a square with its base components from left to right, top to bottom (「한글」, not 「ㅎㅏㄴㄱㅡㄹ」; analogue 「韓字」, not 「十早韋宀子」).
2. One unit represents precisely one syllable.
3. Vertical writing retains the orientation of units (not rotating 90°).
Likewise, my grandfathered sub is due to renew today (looking at history the receipt email tends to show up in the 13:00-14:00 range in US-Eastern) and it's still showing as active at this time.
If you're learning letters then orientation matters unless you have extremely strict orthography. E M W 3 can all be written the same but have different orientations, for example.

The boomers are retiring soon if not now. Many of them were in higher risk investments than they should be and if they all sold their high risk and went to low risk at once. The market crashes; that's what happened. Tons of people want to sell.

So the governments of the world have been the ones buying. https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_recenttren...

The fed put 4 trillion on the books during the financial crisis and 10 years later they started normalization and barely made a dent. This number should be 0. Now in a few months they've spent 2 trillion buying what nobody on the market is buying.

How do you make sense of the market when the government is basically preventing the crash. It's not possible to make sense right now.

We aren't seeing real market numbers. We aren't seeing real tbill rates. We arent seeing real economic numbers like unemployment because the governments have been hiding % under participation rate.
Proportionate response isn't trampling.

Edit: I should flesh this out a bit further.

In hindsight, cellphone data should have augmented contact tracing rather than just sitting on the sidelines and drawing maps a week later. In my opinion there is a time and place to wield technological power when there is a collective need. Ethicists can argue where the line is drawn but an existential threat to 2% of the infected seems sufficient, especially given how fast a pandemic spreads.
Right. No consequences of any sort happened which were visible to me, which I'm glad about since everything in that transaction was legitimate and legal and traceable. (The non-profit has proper financial records and could confirm details to investigators if asked.)

Many suspicious activity reports are filed defensively by banks to avoid the risk of getting regulators mad at them for not filing one if something shady did turn out to happen, not because of real individualized suspicions. Many aren't even looked at by investigators.

It's a Black swan event. Most forecasting models are ineffective. Whether it would be a V, U, L recession is anyone's guess. As it all depends on how politicians react, ie. How late they are to lockdown and how long they will be in that state. Which perhaps is outside the realm of traditional economics. Hence my suggestion.
Google's payment options page is one of the worst designs I have ever seen. A simple task like removing and adding an expired CC will make you wish you were never born.

I don't think it sounds elitist, but just presumptuous. I don't actually think a TrackPoint is superior in every case, and I think Apple has done a great job for a trackpad, but at the same time I'd hate to go back to a trackpad for general use.
Same here. My Internet was so bad the other day that loading a web article that was already in my cache would hang indefinitely. I enabled "Offline mode" in my browser, and it loaded the article instantly. On macOS, launching Firefox or Chrome would just hang indefinitely (without displaying a window) when in lie-fi, presumably checking for updates or something.

I know there's a push to get software to support an offline mode, but I wish there was a similar push to improve software when in lie-fi.

I think you are missing the general idea and being stuck on the details which I highly simplified. The step after identifying the difference in logic is to work back from there and establish a full chain of reasoning we both agree upon, but I cut that out in my half sentence description.

>Of course people stop to be engaged the moment they realize what is going on

So the people who have an interest in convincing me (as I'm the one building the application) have no desire to do convincing when they realize I'm trying to understand their rationale? Why? I have learned to document it well when it happens, so when the project does fail I can show their manager exactly where I built what was asked for, noted my concerns with the design, and showed where they disengaged from addressing those concerns and desired for me to just do as they asked.

Nobody would remember The Knack if it weren't for My Bologna. In their day, they were marketing themselves as "The Next Beatles". I bet Weird Al will still be making new song parodies when nobody can remember Lady Gaga but for Perform This Way.

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

>However, the band's rise to the top of the charts also precipitated a backlash. Capitol's packaging of Get the Knack included a perceived cover likeness to Meet the Beatles! with the record's center label being the same design and style as the Beatles' early 1960s LPs. Coupled with the band's "retro" 1960s look and pop/rock sound, the company's stylings led detractors to accuse them of being Beatles rip-offs, which the band and their record company denied. Fieger acknowledged the band's likeness to the Beatles, claiming that it was their intention to present the Knack as a replica of the British Invasion. He went on to mention how fans of the Knack had not been able to experience the times of the 1960s, and that it was wrong to deny them the privilege of experiencing something similar. Critics fought back, claiming the band was imposing inadequate memories of the 1960s on those who didn't know better. Soon, as Get the Knack became more popular, the band was met with hostility from other artists who felt the intense marketing of the band was invalidating their own efforts of invoking the 1960 sound. This perception, and the perception that the object of some of the Knack's songs were teenaged girls (subsequently acknowledged when the band were years older), quickly led to a "Knuke the Knack" campaign led by San Francisco artist Hugh Brown.
Kinda sorta. Security patches. There's other software you want to upgrade that's only supported on newer OSs. Your hardware breaks and the replacement hardware needs a newer OS.

Yes, it's possible (and organizations with specialized needs do) keep running 15 year old software and hardware without changing anything. But, for ordinary people, that app you bought is going to break at some point in the absence of updates. Of course, it's a bigger problem with SaaS and you have less control over it but licensed software is not immune.

I'm also not trying to sound dismissive or condescending, but it really seems weird to me that if somebody says they are have been doing something for 20 years and now they are bored of it, then they should consider seeing a therapist?

It does. What do you do with the capital malinvestment? Build up inventory consumers don't want or aren't paying enough for, resulting in layoffs, lost revenue, etc.

The central bank is not the only interest rate driver, as the last 5 years have shown, especially for rates of long tenure bonds. But, regardless of drivers, malinvestment certainly does occur.
TLDR: still slightly slower, but "very excited"
I'm one of those "weirdos" who loves writing JS, and yet I agree with everything you just said being horrible. But I enjoy writing plain JS, that doesn't mean react, angular... i've run out of examples because I honestly don't care about those things.

However, I'm in a position where I have enough autonomy to avoid all that crap and just use the bits I like. When you get minimal and ignore all of the noise about the latest hotness JS libraries, the plain language (not including the lanky browser APIs) is not unpleasant especially over the last few years where some modern syntactic features were added - You can go even further and be selective of the language itself and it can get even more pleasantly minimal, my recent delight has been excluding classes and prototypes as much as possible.

When you take this approach the whole "churn" issue disappears (JS is backwards compatible, you will never have the issues you have with Rust or Elm forcing you to re-write).

I suppose this is the argument many make for C++ which is that, yes it can be a complex nightmare, or (if you are able) you can restrict yourself to a desirable subset and have a happy time. In JS's case, most of the complexity is from "keeping up" with the community and libraries, not the core language itself.

Brit here, and we are being spoonfed plenty of anti-Chinese FUD by the mass media too, although certainly not to the same extent as in the US. Corona virus hasn't helped, with plenty idiots blaming China and even calling for revenge. As usual, it's anything to detract from problems closer to home.

I work with colleagues in multiple European countries, and have had this conversation - similar anti-Chinese sentiment appears to be being spread in Spain, Norway, Sweden, France and others.

Whenever the US picks a boogeyman de jour, Europe is often not too far behind, but always to a lesser extent.
My experience of arguing with pro CCP people is that they will often deny, confuse the issue, avoid the question, or try to lead you offtrack. When backed into a corner they'll dump some vague denial then refuse to answer.

As far as I have heard from Norway, not a single person that has been on a ventilator due to Covid-19 has died. The average age of the dead is 84 years old, which is a bit older than the average life expectancy in Norway. What I can gather from this information is that almost all deaths have happened in care homes or with older people who gets care at home.
When such things are done to maintain the human right to live then information freedom will take second place in priorities. Yes that sounds dramatic, but is the context that is being overlooked here.

Should it be opt-in, should it be opt-out. Well I'm already aware of people who go out and leave their mobile at home, so you could ask that those this is going to need to target will not be targetable.
Sweden has a population of 10.2 million and has had over 1000 deaths, very roughly 100 deaths per million population.

Compare to Denmark (52 deaths per 1m) or Norway (25 deaths per 1M) and Sweden's tactics don't seem to be working that well.
What's unfair is Google offering lifetime deals, getting consumers because of it and then pulling the rug from under them when it's no longer convenient.
According to Wikipedia, inverted yield curves are good predictors for economic recession.

After about 12 months in average from when the inversion stars, the recession will start itself.
>"All the recessions in the US since 1970 (up through 2018) have been preceded by an inverted yield curve (10-year vs 3-month). Over the same time frame, every occurrence of an inverted yield curve has been followed by recession as declared by the NBER business cycle dating committee.[12] The yield curve became inverted in the first half of 2019, for the first time since 2007."

So, as far as the results: In their synthetic benchmarks, they find negligible to no improvement:

> For a small test page of 15KB, HTTP/3 takes an average of 443ms to load compared to 458ms for HTTP/2. However, once we increase the page size to 1MB that advantage disappears: HTTP/3 is just slightly slower than HTTP/2 on our network today, taking 2.33s to load versus 2.30s

And in their closer to real world benchmarks, they find no improvement, instead some negligible degradation.

> As you can see, HTTP/3 performance still trails HTTP/2 performance, by about 1-4% on average in North America and similar results are seen in Europe, Asia and South America. We suspect this could be due to the difference in congestion algorithms: HTTP/2 on BBR v1 vs. HTTP/3 on CUBIC. In the future, we’ll work to support the same congestion algorithm on both to get a more accurate apples-to-apples comparison.

As a developer of web apps, I will personally continue to not think that much about HTTP/3. Perhaps in the future network/systems engineers will have figured out how to make it bear fruit? I don't know, but it seems to me of unclear wisdom to count on it.
Definitely agree with others: you might have had the wrong distro.

I have been running Ubuntu for about 6 years and have had less day-to-day config or issues than Windows had.

I use Windows 10 for games, but day-to-day I am on Ubuntu 18.04.

> Basically if the company stops charging you, they don't owe you anything

No. If they refund the money you paid, or whatever they can convince a judge is the value of the lifetime guarantee (the difference between TYM and GPM prices forever, converted to Net Present Value), they don't owe you anything.

The only right thing to do is to refund all past customer payments, or refund the "value of the lifetime guarantee" (with treble damages for willfully violating the contract?), and add a "lifetime guarantee fee" in future contracts with clear wording to avoud the problem in the future.

Google reinforces undersea cables after shark bites (2014)
Google Music is probably just following the typical path of a Google service:

1. Create something new in a given category and hype it up.

2. If it fails to catch on massively, neglect it. Make only minor changes, while competitors are continuously improving their offerings.

3. Leave that old service to rot until you decide to shut it down. Meanwhile, start over from step 1 with different branding.

I can't say this is a poor strategy for a company like Google.

Most governments have been running deficits since forever, not since the last recession, after all, if there is economic grow, new money have to be created, and all money is originated in government spending.

But that's just a reality of how the economy works, that doesn't mean necessarily that Keynesian policies are followed (beyond the automatic stabilizers that are certainly Keynesian in design). Keynesian policies would be to try to offset a fall in aggregated demand by increasing fiscal spending, and that have been taboo since the 80's
