From an American policy or geopolitical perspective, Hong Kong as an island is meaningless. Its people are its capital.

That’s a very noble position to take, but since when has any company suffered actual, short or long term, harm due to their fiscal management of labor?

I have a few comments listed on there, haven't visited that site or used IRC in ages.
What's going to happen to all the highly skilled and specialized labor of building aircrafts? Where would they go? I wonder if we won't see a situation like the early 90's when suddenly all the top scientific and engineering talent of the USSR migrated to the US looking for work. If China was smart they would try to poach as many of these guys as possible. Layoff the propaganda and pay the top guys well. You could be looking at massive knowledge transfer in the years to come.

Securing IP and existing tech within borders is much easier then preventing people from moving around.
I experienced this issue using an HDMI to DVI adapter from my 2018 Mac mini to a Dell Ultrasharp display. After purchasing a replacement cable that didn't remedy the problem, I discovered that it's a known issue.

The fix was to use a USB-C -> DisplayPort cable (using DisplayPort via USB-C alternative mode). It appears that the HDMI port can't be used with a DVI converter. DVI ports have been replaced by DisplayPort, HDMI, and DisplayPort for some time but it was still a disappointment.
Friend of a friend was a UX expert at Homegrocer before they flamed out.

There are dark patterns in grocery store layout that I'm sure you've heard of, about where products are on shelves and what products are near them/in a favorable position compared to them.

They do that to increase profits. In a way, all of the 'boring' products you want to buy are soft loss-leaders. They might not sell them below cost, but they sell them below a sustainable margin, so your price for that item is subsidized by other items.

When you make a web site you have to do the same thing, which he struggled with ethically and logistically. How do you make website dark patterns as subtle as putting something on the top/bottom physical shelf? Obvious patterns start to piss off a lot of people.
Netflix is musty, as someone said to me. After overthinking, musty indeed is the best term for most of Netflix.

Last movie I saw and liked at Netflix was The two popes. Netflix doesn't carry top series like

- Exit https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9612102/

- Le bureau des légendes https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4063800/

- Okkupert EDIT was/is available https://www.netflix.com/title/80092654

In the US & Canada Netflix has Babylon Berlin https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4378376/ but IMHO it is not up to above three.

> I suspect one of the reasons Apollo computers were all built with just one type of logical chip is the ability to replace faulty parts

The Apollo Guidance Computer was built with two types of chips: a 3-input NOR gate and a core memory sense amplifier. The reason to use just one logic chip was because ICs were very new at the time and there was very little reliability information. By standardizing on a small number of components, they could procure enough to determine and maintain quality. (See Journey to the Moon chapter 12.)

I think your comment about Rails being more accessible since other programmers would probably know it seems to be true of any framework but (anecdotally) I question whether the hypothesis works in real life. Any fairly complex application built using frameworks seems similar at first but then there’s all kinds of custom hacks and non-idiomatic code that needs to be explained anyway. I guess at least most programmers will be familiar with the shape of the code but how import is that?

I suspect that frameworks are ideal for coding boot camps where one doesn’t need to understand the details of what frameworks do as much to be productive. And for boot amp grads perhaps a familiar framework makes the code more accessible? IDK, I’m speculating.
Something I think is lost from your comment, though:

It's also stories like this that can show us that people are generally benevolent. Your reaction to this is to call this "forgery" and say the signage is not "secure". Neither of those actually occurred to me here. The only thing I see is a well-intentioned person fixing inadequate signage. It doesn't seem all that less legitimate than signage from the state.

To me, a better argument for increasing "security" of the signage is that occasionally in urban areas I've seen taggers paint over highway signs. That has the potential to confuse drivers, possibly leading to accidents, and it costs the state money to re-paint. But there is no danger in a vigilante making the signage more accurate.
> Precisely the argument against UBI. If an employer knows you’re getting money from the government, it’s natural for them to cut your pay to reflect that

Your employer is going to pay as little as the market will bear. UBI raises the minimum the market will bear for any given work (while simultaneously lowering the minimum wage necessary for any minimum level of income for an employed person) because of the declining marginal value of income. So, plausibly, it both increases wages for those who are and would otherwise be working and makes more people minimally employable (if the minimum wage is reduced to keep the minimum full-time income including UBI at the same level as pre-UBI.)
I think it would be more accurate to say this is what happens when you let the shareholders who are too far removed from the business itself run the business. Those are the people who'd like a company to be a simple growing-asset in their portfolio, who specifically don't want to be bothered with its nuances or long-term health, and who have the leverage to impose their ill-informed will on everyone else.

I have a pet theory that a large portion of the decay in our society can be traced back to the layers of abstraction between stakeholders and the things (and people) they have power over. Usually this kind of thing doesn't happen before a company has gone public.
Nobody is suggesting that UBI should be as much as an existing job + $600.
2% is not negligible. that's about a fourth the emissions share of cars, which are much more essential to daily life where they are used. we don't have the emissions budget for any sacred cows; we need to see a big cut from every source of CO2.

the arguments you gave are not that compelling. air travel doesn't need to disappear entirely, but the environment would benefit from having it be a good bit more expensive. part of this could be increased airport fees to help the island nations recoup some of the revenue.

> Not only that, but travel exposes citizens of wealthy nations to the real living conditions of people in developing nations, which can have a number of positive political effects.

maybe so, but I doubt you could measure this with enough confidence to use as a basis for policy.
I would say it's as much a result of flaws in the electoral college system. States like Texas and California are way too large for a winner-take-all to reflect voter will.

It would not be illegal price collusion if every auto maker came to the same conclusion: raise prices. UBI seems to completely ignore economics both in theory and practice. It’s almost like a political fantasy in order to get votes, but has never shown actual promise anywhere in the world.

Throwaway account for obvious reasons. I think I got a job offer from telling this story.

I heard this Podcast a little while ago. I am a civil engineer and found it amusing. I apply for a job in transportation engineering with a big agency and go through the interview process. I passed the written exam and the second oral interview. Next interview is with heads of the organization. They are asking me good questions and I think they like me and my answers. One of them asks how I keep up with news and latest things happening in civil engineering. I mention podcasts as one of the mediums. Then to keep the conversation lively, I tell them about this story that I heard through 99% invisible. They all laughed and found it amusing. It’s a transportation engineering job talking about a sign on the highway. I know my audience. Haha. And I followed up that podcasts are a great news medium and I wouldn’t have heard this story if I wasn’t listening to them. I like to think they liked me from my qualifications but this story pushed them into picking me.

I ended up declining the offer because I got a better offer somewhere else.
I’m just glad to know I have a really good interview story.
>How does distrust create trust exactly?

I think the idea is that it forces allies to interact with genuine intentions, lest one tries to deceive the other and is caught because of some intelligence that's been gathered.

It's the backbone of a gentleman's agreement between allies to not act maliciously toward each other.

The history of aviation is that of chasing marginal efficiency gains.

Sometimes aircraft crash due to faults in design or user interface; examples include the DC-10 cargo doors, de Havilland Comet, and arguably Airbus' own A330 in the case of AF447. Two Boeing aircraft crashed for a series of reasons, yet Boeing still has a storied history of making very safe, effective aircraft.

We both have limited information.

I assume that the professionals at SpaceX and NASA have prioritized safety and usability, while also introducing a sci-fi vibe. This is a reasonable position.

You, however, take a conspiracy theory (the literal definition) angle that SpaceX have reduced the safety and usability of their module in order to look cooler. Do you see why this is not a reasonable position with the information that we have?

Self-reply: no, it apparently does not. Microcode rev is the same and the issue is still there.

TL;DR: Jetbrains IDEs all crash on the 2020 Air, which has a 10th gen Ice Lake CPU in it. Sometimes it brings down the OS. Doesn't happen at all on older Macs. At first I and everyone else thought it was a MacOS or maybe graphics driver bug.

Then the plot thickened...

I tried it in a Parallels Linux VM, and it crashed and brought down the entire host. Not the VM, the host. This should not be possible.

Then someone reported that it also afflicts a Microsoft Surface model with the same generation CPU.

So given that it escapes VM isolation and occurs on multiple OSes and hardware, it really appears as if this is an Intel CPU bug being triggered by some exotic pattern of instructions being generated by the JVM.

I must also add that nothing else crashes on this machine. Nothing. I've run multiple OSes in concurrent VMs, done heavy work, run GPU stress tests, and it's rock solid... unless I fire up CLion or GoLand... then kaboom.

Some stores sell on Instacart for the exact price they sell for in-store. Fred Meyer / Kroger, for example.

Instacart has a notice at the top of each store's page that gives each store's pricing policy. For Costco, it says "Costco sets the price of items on the Instacart marketplace. Prices are higher than your local warehouse. Costco members also do not earn 2% executive reward on Instacart.". For Fred Meyer and several others, it says "Everyday store prices" and links to a policy stating that the prices are the same as in the store.
Yep, e.g. la porte en arrière = the back door. Handy that the English word has "rear" right there in it. And in case this comment doesn't sound snickery/sexual enough yet, there's also derrière (butt or rear end).

That's not true. I'm not advocating that.

I'm making exactly the same point as the article: using semantic HTML will get you accessibility for free.

If you need something that makes an action, then it should be a button but never disguised as a link. It should just look like a button. This way you won't subvert users expectations (you said it yourself: links are for taking users to another URL), and will still be accessible to screen-reader users.

If you need something that takes to another page, then it should be a link, even if it uses Javascript behind the scenes. This way screen-reader users will know it's a link taking somewhere else and sighted users will have the same experience.

-

> Using CSS to change the appearance of a button isn't a hack, that's the explicit purpose of CSS. It's a hack to make a link point to "javascript:void(0)" to prevent it from doing the thing it's supposed to do.

I disagree. MDN's CSS accessibility page starts precisely with this: "It is possible to use CSS to make any HTML element look like anything, but this doesn't mean that you should". [1]

Changing the whole look and feel of an element to emulate another is definitely a hack. You would also need aria-role="link" to have proper accessibility, btw. Which is exactly the point of the article: not having to sprinke aria-role just because you're using non-semantic HTML.

Ideally you would have a proper link instead of a fallback, so that users can open the link in a new window or save a bookmark. Using javascript:void(0) is less than ideal but at least gives a hint to the browser that the link is not taking the user to another URL.

The medium term view is why they need to let go in the first place .

I am guessing aircraft manufacturing is going to severely depressed in the medium term. Customers are delaying deliveries, canceling orders etc. Demand will likely not return to pre covid levels in even one year. Even if it does, airlines are not in any financial position to make significant purchases for few years. On top of it 737-MAX issues and resulting hold in manufacturing of that line has not left Boeing in a great shape.
Good point.

Philips Lighting is a competitor, and they have a similar portfolio of non-consumer lighting solutions, like UV-C lighting, lighting-as-a-service (financial product), city/building/warehouse/airport lighting, etc.

https://www.lighting.philips.com/main/home

I was about to say there's also specialized lighting niches where margins might be higher, like airfield lighting (GE Aviation lighting). Maybe the installation contract costs are where they make their money, because their consumables are not that expensive (<$100).

Fair criticism. I don't have a confident estimate for the number of new remote employees, but here's a hand-wavy one: one third of the 130M US jobs can be done remotely [0]. 20% of CFOs expect about 20% of their workforce to be remote in the future [1]. Assuming a uniform distribution across company sizes and no other remote jobs outside of those 20%, we'd expect 1/3 * 130M * 1/5 * 1/5 = 1.75M new remote jobs.

The assumptions here are obviously strong and wrong but it does seem like "low millions" is probably the right order of magnitude.

Moreover we can expect highly-regarded companies like Facebook and Twitter to be bellwethers for the rest of industry. If their remote work experiments succeed, I suspect expansion will follow rapidly (I expect the reverse if they fail).

I migrated from Gmail to Fastmail a couple years ago and I have been happy with it. Migrating existing emails from Gmail into Fastmail was easy, as was setting up forwarding from Gmail to Fastmail for all future emails. The hardest part was just updating accounts across the web to use the new email. Since I'm using a custom domain with Fastmail, I can change account emails to things like foo.com@mydomain.com or bar.net@mydomain.com.
