The author claims that high-resolution displays are a commodity now. That may be true, but those can be really expensive depending on where you live. In Brazil, most laptops are still (sadly) sold with 1366x768 displays. 1080p displays are that much more expensive, let alone 4K.
Could you give an example of how code could be coupled at the type level, but not logically coupled? It seems impossible to me.

Type checking is quite non-trivial, especially as the logic and types get more advanced (conditional types, index types, mapped types, etc etc). Not just “typos”.
Let's say a county is a 15 mile by 15 mile square with a square grid of streets spaced on average 1000 feet apart. That would be 2370 miles of road in the county. Assuming a lifetime for that road of 35 years, they need to replace 68 miles of road per year which works out to about 1000 feet per day.

At $1.5/.32 miles, they would be spending $881K per day on road replacement. If a county run crew could cut 10% of this cost out, and 50% of that was used for labor, they could employ 198 people at 80k per year on average. A paver capable of paving 1000 feet of 24 foot wide road per day costs approximately 60k. Assuming 10% of cost savings went towards capital equipment, they could purchase 52 such pavers per year. For a more reasonable but still quite liberal budget of $1 million per year of capital equipment financing and maintenance payments and salaries of $200k for 40 employees, that 10% cost savings would allow the county to pocket $22 Million per year.

Even if the streets were spaced on average 1 mile apart, that would still be 100 feet per day, and the 10% cost reduction would be $3 million per year.

This does not include new construction or regular maintenance of roads, nonetheless other construction projects.

Only very small or sparsely populated counties should have any trouble justifying the expense of an in-house construction crew.

"Section 1 of the Sherman Act is violated when an unreasonable restraint of trade within an oligpoly results from a firm's course of action which serves to exclude competition from that market."

- United States v. Griffith, 334 U.S. 100 (1948)

There have been a number of bench decisions based on barriers to entry and market entrenchment to prohibit this sort of behavior by oligopolies, even if the Sherman act didn't specifically mention them.

Its because they aren't expected to finance the building themselves. Its the insane expectation that the destitute will be able to drive economic development that keeps making the housing divide, amongst other class divides, so massive in the USA.
The common thread in all of these are post-hoc discoveries of irregularities. In many cases, these are carried over many years and months without being detected. If one needs to address this issue, a near real-time approach would be needed. Otherwise, such operations will continue to take place.

It is not a violation to allow background play of video. No guideline prohibits it. The Plex app allows background play, for example. Apple also provides documentation to developers on how to enable this functionality in their apps. (1)

If it were against policy to enable play of video in the background, then it seems that would be an even more egregious violation by YouTube, as not only do they have the functionality in the app, but they charge users money to access it.

IPO'd via reverse merger, according to MSN article linked to from other post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23573350 :

"Wirecard's origins date back to 1999, when its Berlin-based predecessor InfoGenie was founded. Wirecard listed its shares on Frankfurt's stock exchange through a reverse merger with InfoGenie in 2005."
I found it funny the article considered an ar15 vise as a prohibited part when it specifically is not. Amazon bans parts that directly attach to some weapons (and only some of them, not scopes or lights) and a vise block does not attach.

I suppose we could go the opposite way and declare Amazon should not sell any punch, hammer or gauge...

There are degrees of this issue; any business handling money is going to attract fraud, the question is how well the internal controls deal with it and whether management are in on it.

At one end is Lehman, which was incredibly over-leveraged and only slightly fraudulent ( https://www.accountancyage.com/2010/12/21/ey-sued-over-lehma... ), but set out to be a legit investment bank. AIG is in a roughly similar category. There was some fraud: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-gen-re-aig-trial-0... - but the collapse was due to leverage.

At the other end are Madoff and 1MDB, which were intentionally fraudulent from the beginning.

The "lost" BTC stories are just off in outer space; the bitcoin ecosystem doesn't acknowledge fraud or accounting control as a concept, because that goes against "code is law" and transaction irreversability.
I feel pangs of sadness reading articles like this. I’m just about 30 and when I look around at my peer group I see themes of learned helplessness.

I see children in adult bodies who whine to compel others to fix their own problems. I see people unwilling to entertain conversation that may challenge their point of view. And parents, well into their old age, seem to be content in keeping this status quo. They acquiesce to the complaining, they solve their children’s problems. And the tools of being self sufficient and goal oriented seem to suffer.

If I buy into one of the points of the article- that there are people in China who are in positions of power who are unified, know what they want, know where they are, and thus will figure out to get there- and I think about how my peer group would respond, I get worried. The panacea would be for my generation to become just as tenacious in seeking our own goals. But I just don’t see what transformations would have to happen to make this a reality.

P.S. I will continue improving the community of people within arm’s reach. I think that’s all us motivated people can do.
I'm glad that you have had no flareups for so long! unfortunately my symptoms seem to be keyboard, not mouse related (I am right handed and use my mouse with right hand, but pain is in my left) so I doubt I can just switch sides.

Front End Web Dev Student
I have been looking into expanding on the HTML/CSS knowledge I self taught when I was in my early teens and move into more then just editing JavaScript. I hear that react.js and node.js are the best lateral movements for me at this time but wanted to know if this is what would be best? If not which languages would you recommend for someone who is wanting to go from frontend to fullStack.
But is the Apple app store the same thing as the "app market"? If I open a denim store in Spain, is that the same thing as entering the Chinese market? Why or why not? The "market" here isn't the app market but rather just Apple's customers. It also seems like people would be okay if Apple just shut down the app market overall, like that would be "tough luck" to developers and a matter for customers to judge.

An open and borderless web market is the kind of thing that just about every nation is rethinking right now.

It's tempting to wonder if perhaps elements in the German political and financial establishments were profiting from this, and the CEO will be the fall guy.

It seems extremely organised and well-protected for alleged fraud.

Usually fraud relies on personal/corporate reputation. But when you have both lawyers and hackers being employed to take down critics and investigators, it's reasonable to ask questions about regulator collusion and political influence.

It's bad, but it's such a minor flaw. If you won't use hey because of that, either you don't care at all about any of the actual features (in which case, sure, don't use it) or you're being dramatic.

Unless you are trolling, I think you are mixing up different senses of "not allowed to criticize". In totalitarian states it is literally not allowed to criticize the state ideology. That is not the case for "questioning transgenderism" anywhere I know, unless you are taking about things like literally calling for the murder of transgender persons, which indeed would be illegal in many jurisdictions.

Of course everybody have the same right to question your ideas, as you have to question their ideas. Some people seem to think that their freedom of speech is curtailed because other people are allowed to criticize them back or even ignore them.

As I mentioned in another comment, your solution derivation doesn't make sense for someone who hasn't already seen/done it before. And for them, the intro seems a bit too cutesy.

It seems to me that you're trying to condense a few weeks of intro linear algebra into a single blog post. In my experience that only works as a refresher, not for someone starting from zero.

Random Wikipedia quotes aren’t verifiable, and thus aren’t valid sources in this context.

But to keep in the spirit of debate, Communist sources would be suspect, as would Tibetan ones. Neutral bystanders or third parties have less incentive to misrepresent events and context to put their side in a better light, like Communist and Tibetans would both naturally be suspected to be doing.

Do you have any third party sources for these time periods and events?

If we want more builders, we should work on the disincentives that builders face.

The original American builders weren't saddled by a progressive tax system where they were penalized according to their degree of success.

Perhaps we're witnessing Rand's strike of the mind in slow motion. The headwinds to building in public are so strong that the builders have retreated to build things in private, no longer sharing their gifts with the world.
Were you educated in the American school system by any chance?
I guess such comparisons are hard to make and bound to be subjective.

Of course it is. They've weaponised it to their advantage. The actual solution to getting their app approved is obvious. But they've decided there's a greater gain in PR by 'taking Apple on'.
If you live in a place where the ISP actually looks at what you torrent and does something about it then you clearly need a VPN. Luckily that mostly happens in places where a DMCA is the least of your worries, like eastern europe and the middle east.

And there's Masayoshi Son and SoftBank, plowing $1 billion into Wirecard a year ago, for a 5.6% stake.

Mr. Enabler seems to have secured a prime seat for many of the big frauds & scandals in tech from the past few years.

At this point regulators should just be tracking SoftBank to watch where they've stuffed the Saudi money (or in this case, it's a very unusual UAE & SoftBank financing arrangement).

Bloomberg story out right now:

"The meltdown at Wirecard AG is raising questions about the company’s complicated relationship with the troubled SoftBank Group Corp."

One more thing that might help you:

There's this guy, Josh Kaufman, who teaches people how to decompose problems in a way that they can be more "digestible", so it's easier to approach them when we don't know much about a new topic.

Take a look on:

1) The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything ... Fast, Josh Kaufman

2) The Personal MBA, Josh Kaufman

Another one is Tim Ferriss. I doubt one can mimic their techniques, but sometimes it might be a good idea to just see how other people are struggling with new things and they win at the end ;)
>The apps have also augmented the iOS platform over those 8 years.

Yeah, let's not forget Apple's famous "there's an app for that" ad campaign.
Anyone remember L&H, the famous computer translation company that went bankrupt in 2001? At one point they had a whopping market capitalization of almost 10 billion US$!

IIRC they also claimed that a large sum of money somehow got missing in Asia (South Korea I think). But given that the management actually went to jail, it seems the fraud actually originated in their headquaters in Belgium.

Yes there exists simple tests to figure out your bloodtype.

Where I live, they specify blood type on your passport, driving license etc. So to obtain one you need to provide proof of your bloodtype.

Had to go to a lab to get that proof.

The test itself is pretty cheap and takes 5 minutes at most. They prick your hand, take a drop of blood, and do something with that (mix it with some other chemical or something).
Then there's systematic fraud between those players. Two that come to mind are the Libor manipulation (in the $ trillions) around 2006 and the subprime lending fiasco in 08.

The rats will cooperate if it lets them steal more.
Antitrust competition is not measured primarily by marketshare but market power, of which the main measure is pricing power, the propensity of people to shift from one offering to another of prices change. With regard to the App Store, would the people — app sellers — whom Apple charges for the service start to move to an alternative if Apple increased prices even incrementally, either expressly in terms of dollars charged or effectively by more-expensive-to-comply-with other terms?

No? Looks a lot like a monopoly, in antitrust terms, then.

What are effectively independent, descriptively similar, side-by-side markets that people don't move between in response to pricing changes aren't the same market for antitrust purpose, even if conventional media coverage labels them the same market and talks about marketshare in the combined market.

> it must be a violation of some WTO trading rules somewhere

The Trump administration has intentionally sabotaged the WTO's dispute resolution mechanism anyways, by blocking the appointment of judges: https://www.dw.com/en/wto-judge-blockage-could-prove-the-beg....

The US seems set on dismantling the post-war international order. That order reflected a form of enlightened self-interest, in which the US, though enormously powerful, subjected itself to various rules of international behavior and cooperation, with the understanding that the US would benefit if most countries followed those rules. The Trump administration takes a much more short-sighted, brute-force approach to international relations (ignore all rules and threaten everyone into giving you what you want). Maybe the most surprising thing is how little pushback he's gotten from inside the US. The US political class doesn't seem to care so much about the downfall of the post-war international order.
