"UWP app can also access most of win32 APIs as well"

Most and all are 2 different things. I've discovered limits immediately after investigating possibility of porting one of my apps.

The winrt APIs can be used from traditional desktop apps just fine

WinRT based applications run in sandbox and have their own limits.

None of what you say has any relation to my original POV.

It sadly appears that many people who recover from covid have temporary or permanent (not known yet) lung damage anyway.

So those asymptomatic might simply be people whose natural lung operation is strong enough that they can compensate for the covid damage.

What makes you think he zagged? He got the plant open a week early, and even got support from the president to do so. He seems to have been pretty solid for opening his factory as much as possible, not zigging and zagging.

Not like he had much choice. Some other car factories reopened May 4, so Tesla was being held back vs. their competition, which is why he was tweeting about going to a different state.
Xi’s China is abosolutely authoritorian, but that’s not what this conflict is about. This is more like US vs Japan in the 80s, where US wants to secure its influence and power, by keeping others down if necessary.
I mean, if you do business in China and recognise Taiwan, you will be shown the door and/or your. business will be literally stolen, so... it's not really different.

It's about time we start making China accountable. It's about time we start blocking Tencent and Alibaba from further American acquisition or investment. It's about time we restrict and throttle CCP-controlled media platforms like Tiktok; the same way China does for Western-owned media platforms.

We can't keep getting punched and just stand still.
This is a bunch o ideological BS. China just wants to make money, it doesn't care if the US is running a dictatorship or whatever. It is the US government that is trying to stir up ideological issues because it doesn't see any other way to compete with China. Everything was very fine while China was just supplying Walmart with cheap plastic stuff.

And who in the US will do the work? It's not just the jobs that went overseas, it's also the factories, the molds, and the skills, on top of that we all apparently want cheap stuff.

I pitched an idea for punishment for this behavior a while back (I'm in Portland, where street racing is a major issue right now), and got downvoted like crazy for it, but I'll try again here. Each time they are caught, surgically remove one finger. Either they'll take the hint that people want them to stop, or if they keep it up they won't be able to grip the steering wheel. Win-win.
It’s why I do order on DoorDash too. My local Indian place doesn’t do delivery, neither does my local deli, and my favorite pizza place won’t deliver to my address.

I’m more than happy to cut out the middleman and order direct but they turned me down when I offered to pay more to deliver to my address. I’m literally 50 ft outside their posted delivery area.

Oh, so we've met criteria for a full reopening? I can stop wearing my mask? That's news to me.

As for the state "having money," do you think they have literal vaults of cash that's in finite supply, or something? The federal government should be subsidizing the health of employees in this case, and they can do it by incrementing numbers in a computer. It's that simple.
> How did we get to a place where billions of dollars are exchanged in millions of business transactions but there are no winners?

Simple. Capitalism is broken.

In order for capitalism to work, there has to be a meaningful profit/loss incentive. People who are doing the work must get rewarded if the work is done well and penalized if the work is done poorly.

We already started moving away from this many years ago with the growth of large corporations. When was the last time that you at your "capitalist" firm were aware of revenue and costs for the things you were working on in a more-than-superficial way? When was the last time you saw someone make a buy-vs.-build decision based on the actual numerical cost of the employees needed to run the project and not just handwaving? (When was the last time you even knew what the cost of the employees on your team was, given the widespread taboos about compensation?) When was the last time that someone who said "I saved the company X million dollars" got some proportion of those X million dollars? When was the last time that someone who needlessly made the company spend X million dollars in the first place paid for it?

The function of a big company is to abstract away the cold, unfeeling invisible hand of the market and protect people/groups who make unprofitable decisions. This is actually totally fine and good in the short term - nobody makes consistently good decisions, and insurance is a thing for a reason. You want people to take bigger risks on behalf of the company than they're willing to subsidize with their own paychecks, which is why individual artisans and professionals team up to form a company in the first place. But it's grown past that. As the article points out, some regional director somewhere is able to convince other people at the company that their work is profitable - with no hard link to whether the work is, in fact, profitable. And that scenario is entirely plausible for all of us; it's not specific to this one company in any way. If you're in the unlucky position where both you want to draw good charts and everyone around you wants to see good charts, there's no real way to figure out if you're wrong unless the company as a whole is dying, and there might be a host of reasons why it's not dying that have nothing to do with your decision-making.

And now venture "capitalists" have decided that this model needs to scale out from protecting teams to protecting entire companies. You can run a business for years without even attempting to make a profit and get acquired based on the potential of the business. No more messy realities of the market determining whether you are in fact profitable or not - what matters is whether you look profitable. And, again, this is genuinely good at small scale, because it allows new ventures to ignore bumps and potholes that would otherwise have ended a small company. But if you scale it up, it also allows new ventures to ignore driving straight off a cliff.

I expect capitalism to work very well if implemented right. But I don't know how we go from where we are today to actual, functioning capitalism.
People said the same thing about free markets in Soviet Union. Yet here we are with entrepreneurs and stock markets in Communist China.
Chip.de is a reputable site. I see your argument for going tonthe primary source of a software and this is what I always try to do. But I don't get your hate. They don't repackage things the way Sourceforge tried to or anything like that. So all the downloads I made from their site were maybe outdated, but they were all genuine.
Why? Qualcomm is a US company, subject to the same export restrictions.
To preface, firstly - I am a supporter of free global trade and greater collaboration between countries to maximize the benefit of each other.

The problem starts when there is a massive asymmetry in the trade. China has completely blocked US services from Google to Uber, and gladly accepts manufacturing investment - Tesla Shanghai factory, Intel's Chengdu factory, etc. because the CCP knows that they will gain tremendously by having IP physically based in China. It leaks like a sieve. I've seen it first hand (in semiconductor industry).

America should protect its own interests and interests of other democratic nations before they get eroded, dismantled and sold off to CCP's interests. If China doesn't want American software services running and fairly competing because of CCP surveillance requirements, well...then the US should block all Chinese services from exploiting users[1] and their data, may be EU should block Chinese services from running there until there is strict GDPR requirements and the data is located in EU datacenters. There should be independent datacenter security audits just like CCP wants keys to iCloud datacenters. That would just get us to the fairness level and that's still not enough - there should be a reverse asymmetry to make up for last 20 years of damage - incentivize US/EU services and manfuacturing while simultaneously imposing sanctions and import duties on goods/services made in China. Why not? Can someone tell me why the US/EU shouldn't do the same? I should not be able to buy $1.99 USB cable including shipping from China.

I think it more likely that china will end up with these facilities in country, along with their typical good old fashioned protectionism freezing others out of the china market in that segment.

As horrible as this sounds, there will be a large number of entities in china that will view this as the opportunity of a lifetime.

Restaurants have two advantages:

1) Drivers can do other work during down time (wash dishes, clean, etc.). I think some places don't even hire drivers, they just have whoever is free deliver the order.

2) They can eat the loss because it will be less than the 20-30% that delivery platforms take from the restaurant.

Yes, this will be a huge accelerator. The US is showing China that they can not depend on foundries they do not own lock, stock and barrel and that are on Chinese soil. It's totally obvious what this will lead to. Next: restrictions on selling stepper tech to the Chinese. Wonder how ASML's stock will respond to this news, quite a few reasons to go either way.

>The food delivery startups could achieve the same if they paid their delivery drivers fairly (at the moment most don't even make minimum wage - compared to the dabbawalas’ "good salary")

A quick data check suggests that a software engineer in Mumbai can easily make literally ten times this "good salary". Would you consider paying food delivery workers in London 10% of an software engineer's pay packet a "good salary"? Fair treatment?

Some crude calculations on my part suggest that it would be well below minimum wage in the UK. Is it possible that there might be more going on than "good salary"? Other commenters point out that there's a deep gulf in expected living conditions that enables such a low level of pay to be a "good salary".

Taken together, these suggest to me that this is a model that exploits extreme poverty and inequality. One that perhaps we should be glad cannot be replicated in many other places.
Huawei shifted Hisilicon 14nm orders from TSMC to SMIC a month ago in anticipation. I think most of their router hardware is domestic components except from Xilinx FGPAs, but alternatives are difficult to source. The articles mention Huawei's been stockpiling components, it's hard to say how long that will last. Last I read they've already burned through a bunch and they've been rolling out domestic 5G during covid19. There should still be enough runway for a few political exchanges i.e. putting US companies on Chinese unreliable entity list to see what happens.

This is a "bigger" move than expected - the anticipated escalation was US reducing US origin tech % to <10. TSMC believes their 7nm was around 9-10% so there was a chance Huawei orders was still viable. Now it's a blanket export license requirement. While the article only covers Huawei, I think it's a broader blanket that applies to all Chinese companies with military connections, which is basically an impossibly difficult task for any company to determine. The impact is unclear. This is one move short of kicking Huawei off dollar trading.
The effect will be the exact opposite, it will make it harder and will inflict some pain on them in the short term, but in the longer term any internal resistance has just evaporated and they will double down on this.
aliexpress had the worst version I had ever seen. I clicked on a link to the French site and got the french version, then I tried to find a way to switch it, saw nothing (couldnt access the footer due to infinite scroll) so I went to the .com version and it was still in french. Cleared my cookies for that site and it was STILL in french for the main page on the .com domain. No idea _what_ they were doing, must have been browser fingerprinting or saving it by IP address. I was not logged in.
So if I'm getting this right, the usual materialist position is that thinking is a matter of degree for stuff that can think, and just a straight no for everything else. While the panpsychists think it's just a matter of degree, full stop? No 100% unthinking allowed?
The browser vendors don't make it easy to change the browser language (and especially not on a per-site basis) so users are unlikely to be able to change the language if it is wrong, so if decide to use the browser language instead of the location, please also have an option in your site to set a cookie that overrides the browser settings.

You're assuming that you can let the virus burn out of control without it having any negative effects on the economy. I'm going to be polite, so I'll just say that assumption is unrealistic.

Imagine that the virus did what it did in NYC or Lombardy, but did it in every city in the US. Given our understanding of the virus, this is very possible. Now forget the statistics: just think viscerally about what that would mean for schools, office jobs, retail businesses, hospitals. You'd get all those deaths plus the economic damage of a lockdown. This isn't an either/or.

Basically: if we're not going to control this thoughtfully, we'd better pray that some as-yet-unknown effect stops the spread most places, or that people naturally socially-distance enough to stop it. I hope one of those happens, maybe it will happen, but I have zero reason to believe it will right now.
>I see no timeline in which this happens short of Xi Jinping catching coronavirus and dying.

Yeah, I don't see it happening then either.

But it certainly isn't gonna happen after an enormous market opens up for domestic competitors.

When your students submit the project, have the landing page give them 10-15 minutes to make one tiny change and resubmit. Pick something that would be trivial to do in seconds for a student who did his own work, but would cause a lot of stress for someone who outsourced.

Save the 1:1 interviews for students whose original program was great but whose modification went down in flames and you'll likely be talking to your outsourcers, plus identifying students who maybe could use some extra help even if they did everything themselves.

Extracting profits at the cost of society may be a bad thing for you and me, but it might be a good thing for YC.

I'm reminded of Paul Graham's words on unions:

From his perspective, it could be that society is something standing in the way of profits.
> OK, but why just the land? Trusts hold stock, too

The stock is taxed indirectly. Georgism holds that all wealth fundamentally comes from the land. This isn't completely true in the digital age but it is still true enough.

> Their heirs receive the dividends from that stock

If you tax income it never goes away. You just take a portion of whatever is there. If you tax wealth then the wealth is eventually drawn completely into the society. That's the fundamental difference. LVT is a tax on wealth.
