So, the point remains, knowledge based economy, while certainly useful, is not the only way for an economy to grow. Sheer hardwork can be an immense force too, that's what the chinese did over the years and what this article points to as well.
Possibly. But this kind of thinking is pretty universally used against any person or organization trying to do something good.

You can live a life completely devoid of ethical behavior beyond following the law, and nobody will say a word or think anything of it. But as soon as you put any effort to being extra ethical, expect endless criticism. Dave Eggars, in one of my favorite books "You Shall Know Our Velocity", has a quote that sums this up nicely: "The inactive must justify their sloth by picking nits with those making an attempt".
I wish Facebook didn't exist. The sad truth is that if I delete my Facebook there are a couple hundred people I would never hear from again. Countless community events I would never be invited to because Facebook is all anyone uses to get the word out around here.
I won't disagree with you, but would rather give people some context who are reading your comment and have never lived in India.

Like everything else in India, even this phenomenon exists in extremes. There are cities like Bangalore/Delhi/Hyderabad (almost all Tier 1 cities) where the IT sector flourishes, the concept of caste is almost invisible; bear in mind this is coming from someone who is from those lower castes.

Then you have other places where it is still socially accepted. My parents home in one of northern states is one of them. Communities/small villages are clustered based on castes, people might be forbidden from entering certain places like temples. Caste based marriages are still the norm there. It's certainly improving, but it takes time like everything else. My father still lives there and occasionally tells me about how things are changing, for instance he recently told me about a Muslim family who have been living there for the past decade, something that might not have been possible even 20-30 years ago.

Stephen Paddock shot 471 people (killing 58, and injuring an additional 400+ via the ensuing stampedes, for a total of nearly a thousand casualties) in Vegas in 2017, despite armed security in the hotel and well-armed cops all over the festival and surrounding town.

Norway has a murder rate of 0.53 per 100,000. The US is 5.0 per 100,000. Your assertions don't bear much scrutiny.
And it should be chosen by the user, not enforced by the gatekeeper
I have been a redditor for a decade and have a few remarks based on my experience.

I feel like reddit has always had recurring and overlapping cycles of mean spiritedness. For instance, during the summer holiday period it becomes notoriously harder to have a reasonable exchange of ideas there (don't ask me why; I'm not quite sure). This year, since the beginning of the COVID19 isolation period in March, we've been in a period of very high mean spiritedness. It could be a consequence of users' high stress levels.

Reddit does still have several excellent communities. I find that there's one thing in common between them: They have real, dedicated, human moderators enforcing strict, rational policies. Also: There are some weird cliques of power moderators on reddit who control dozens if not hundreds of subreddits. A good subreddit is usually not run by those cliques. Not to discount the hard work that some grunt moderators put into trying to run the large, clique-controlled communities, but the commonalities are hard to ignore.

On upvotes: Reddit should have clear policies enforced equitatively and transparently at the company level, by a human staff, and downvotes shouldn't be presented as the opposite of an upvote. I don't see a complete alternative system that can replace the upvote, though. They do provide different sorting options; what else could they do, there?

On alternatives: People attempt to leave on a regular basis. The problem is that there's a much higher incentive for the people who are ostracized not only by reddit as a platform but by the associated community to leave than for people who are, for the most part, comfortable, even if the administration acts a little weird on occasion. All alternatives are quickly colonized by people that the majority of the reddit community (if there is such a thing) would rather not be immersed in: White supremacists, conspiracy theorists, fanatic nationalists, etc. For the more moderate people to be willing to move, they want to feel surrounded by a majority of people like them, not a minority.
Its not just the President and it’s not just Republicans. It’s also Democrats like Clinton who got “tough on crime” and instituted policies that disproportionately affected minorities and naive Black politicians[1] who were dumb enough to think that the government was the answer to crime that was hurting their communities and that police would be used for something more than “border patrol” to keep minorities out of places where “they didn’t belong”.

of what is easily the worst group of internet users in internet history.

Oh, you sweet summer child.
Sure, which is precisely why my point is that the solution here is transparency, not giving people money. If people are educated about what information they're providing and what it's being used for, then they do have that choice.

Imagine you had a screen like you do when you connect two integrated services that tells you exactly what data is being sent (e.g. if you authorize this mobile game to access your Facebook account, it will be able to access your profile picture, friends list, etc.) before you access a site. If that happens, you know that the site is going to collect your location data, browsing history, etc., and you know that they are going to use it to both serve you ads and will sell it to third parties. From there, you can make a decision as to whether that use of your data is worth access to the site, and the market will eventually decide what value people place on their data.

Early on in the pandemic, Youtube was demonetizing videos related to COVID-19 as they do for numerous other sensitive topics like war, death, or terrorist attacks. Many Youtubers would therefore be cautious even mentioning it tangentially to prevent that potential demonetization. I think it has been months since Youtube adjusted their policy on this to allow monetization (EDIT: Yep, this policy was changed over 3 months ago[1]).

I get a feeling of impending doom just reading some of the posts on this story.
If someone recognized that they had some level of prejudice against persons from India, what would you advise they do.

To be clear, I have friends of Indian descent, and I value them, but I also work with people from India and I'm afraid I find them more annoying than not.

Shapefiles are a large, monolithic thing. Vector tiles are like the png tiles that you see in mapping applications, only with vector rather than rendered data.

If I was Only interested the data for a small region, I only need to download the tiles that cover the region, rather than a potentially global dataset.

Alternately, the wider zooms tend to have aggregated information, so you can still get a sense of the data at global scale.
That sounds reasonable to me. In the old days people used Apache because it was available and worked. But because the performance was shit they adopted other complex means of dealing with heavy loads. Nginx has dramatically improved the web server performance problem but a lot of old practices are still in place.
Sometimes trips can really get out of your control and can get pretty scary... might make sense to allow people to bail from that.
This seems wildly overthought and an unnecessary invocation of Girard. Everything about in-group contrarians appears more parsimoniously explained by simply observing that groups must be ambivalent about 'loyal oppositions' because 1. such people need to be kinda jerks or autistic personalities to overcome the extremely powerful social pressures towards conformity and express criticisms where they are not wanted; and 2. while they are 'traitors to the cause' in the short run by giving the enemies ammunition & splintering the group costing it momentum, in the long run they are critical to a healthy movement in keeping it honest & prepared for its enemies' arguments & innovations.

India traded with Muslim nations far before the Brits showed up. British East India Company had to fight Muslim and Hindu rulers in India,by pitting them against each other, to establish their hold. There are documents of Indian saints living under rule of Muslim kings and vice versa.

Mass Drivers Cost Way Too Much (https://settlement.arc.nasa.gov/Nowicki/SPBI1SI.HTM)
Its an interesting article, and I agree with a lot of it, but I never manage to run windows desktop without local admin.

Some examples: Thanks to corona, tons of people started using usb headphones. The bloody thing needs local admin for almost weekly firmware updates. No idea why, but if you dont do them, a windows update for the driver will break them soon.

VPN! If you dare to log on with alternate credentials, it ends your connection. Hence any admin on a remote machine can only happen by a local admin.

Banking software pushes an update and immediately refuses to do any payment until you upgrade. The (nice) people who should package that upgrade are swamped and need months, at least if you manage to get a budget to let them package it. After that, an infosec review might take more weeks.

Printer drivers. No admin? No printing! Bonus points if vendor decides to publish the driver in the app store, which is blocked by group policy for everyone including admins.

ctr alt del needs local admin to kill a task.

As a bonus, infosec is the biggest hurdle: If they take weeks to approve any kind of admin access,and keep asling bureaucratic questions, only big problems that burn for weeks are worth solving. We have expensive software being unused because no one wants to do the battle to get access to fix it. I would love to drop some privileges, if only I trust I could claim them back when shit hits the fan.
Well this is straight poison. This attitude is exactly why we are missing out on so much potential engineering talent... You came so close to being self-aware enough to know that the problem is your own, but you couldn't resist putting the blame elsewhere.

Something probably unintentional that they're highlighting with this particular presentation style (frequent female presenters, infrequent male presenters) is that seemingly every role that they require someone in a position of power talking for, it's male, while the grunt work doesn't seem to have been at all. Personal progressiveness mixed with systemic sexism?

Having a few extra dollars a month doesn’t prevent the government from punishing you for doing something they don’t like. For example, Hong Kong is relatively wealthy compared to the rest of China, but participating a protest in Hong Kong can still lead to jail time (or far worse now). Paying them a few dollars for their data does nothing for them but potentially let them take one extra day off work per year to protest, although with the censorship and monitoring that China does, is that safe?
Default email and browser apps, finally...
I beg to differ. I used to have a Netflix subscription here in France (not anymore), my wife is from Latin America and wanted to use English subtitles instead of French ones (and so did I), funny thing is, English subtitles were not available in France, the only way to get English subtitles was to use a proxy and a US Netflix account (not possible anymore as many proxies are blocked) or just use torrent.

There are many services that streaming companies refuse to offer even to paying customers. Now you may say "streaming companies depend on hollywood licensing per country", sure, but this case also happened on Netflix produced shows...
Graviton is only cheaper because Amazon gouges you slightly less.

Graviton is still almost an order of magnitude slower than a VPS of the same cost, which is around what the hardware and infra costs Amazon.
One very dangerous thing about university I notice is that it encourage age discrimination. And that propagate to the industry hiring. Very few people with family will choose to go to university full time, and hence can't further their knowledge. Also discrimination is so rampant that even online degree is not given same weight as the classroom even though the classes are exactly same (for example stanford SCPD). So definitely we need a movement to stop this discrimination and kill this so called universities.
>They sometimes come up with measures like this, while routinely ignoring the development of horrible communities that they're aware of (since some users take any possible opportunity to mention them to the admins and are met with silence or half measures).

I think their main challenge is they have a cultural/temperamental resistance to making decisions on a case-by-case basis. Any time there is a problem it seems like they try to overgeneralize and come up with a sort of rule or heuristic that can apply in every case and situation. But since the "toxicity" of a community is usually more subtle than that they end up always being way too reactive.
Not sure if India is still a democracy.

Media and Judiciary are important pillars of democracy, but they are tightly controlled by the Government in India.

Former Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi was nominated to the Rajya Sabha by President (Current Government) [1]:

A judge dies right before court case hearing of the top leader of the ruling party. [2]

An Indian Police Service officer [3] is known for his role in filing an affidavit in the Supreme Court of India against the then Chief Minister of the Government of Gujarat, Mr. Modi, concerning Modi's alleged role in the 2002 Gujarat riots. On 30 September 2011, he was arrested due to a case, the Supreme Court suspended the case in April 2012. On 20 June 2019, he was sentenced to life in relation to another case dating back to 1990.

A 27-year old pregnant lady has been lodged in Jail for participating in the anti-CAA protests and denied bail as the judge finds 'no merit' in her bail plea. [4]. She is accused of "planning to hold protests".

A gunman fired shots at protestors during the same anti-CAA protests [5] and gets bail within a month [6] by the court:

A ruling party leader who gave a hate speech during the same anti-CAA protests on camera while police officers standing with him on stage is free and still part of the ruling party. [7]

> On some days, I would park my car on a sleepy street in Palo Alto and pump milk with a silicone hand pump in front of someone’s nice house, reading profiles of the investors in my next meeting from my iPhone. Occasionally someone would drive up, or a jogger would run by, and I would feel completely humiliated.

I wonder how sometimes I can feel embarrassed even while doing my best, I guess that's everyone, all the time.

> I’ve heard awful stories firsthand from friends. Horrific stories like being offered a term sheet if sex was involved. Thankfully, that was not my experience. I believe I am in the minority.

In a kinda bitter cynical way, that particular horror story seems like a positive. I don't know that there's anything I could offer other than competence in a negotiation like that, aside from the occasional weird personal request like “Can you hang out with my son? I worry about him.” that I've received while conducting business.

> When I look at leadership across companies, and leadership across countries, it looks predominantly male. And that means our world is missing out on a lot of hardworking, self-identifying women who can improve it.

I think this is kinda selfish. Why do you assume that the world is “missing out” when there is so much accommodation and additional work involved? It's not like we're out here in the world buying soda, wool blankets, and toilet-grade mobile games, making special accommodations for masculinity.

Work is done for a price, and that price is negotiated. If it is expensive to work with you, the price has to move, or the offering needs to get sweeter.
around 2025 with an inability to go below 2nm.
Such predictions are "wild guess" but I've not yet seen an expert strongly bet in favor of a complexity/cost wall.

If I remember correctly, a silicon atom and the spacing between them make ~0.2 nm
If you think that starting at 2nm we are getting closer and closer to this physical limit is utterly wrong:
Because what we call 2nm is not a 2nm transistors. Today transistors (7nm) have some parts that are on the hundred of nanometers!
What I would like to know is how much reducing those parts will bring performance? Maybe those parts of a transistor actually matters far less?
Nah, I told it exactly how it is. I know that I'm unlikable, I get that. But I still believe it's a huge advantage to be female.
Yes. So? You can have a democratically-elected authoritarian. The authoritarian part is about how they govern, not how they get to power. (And, perhaps, how they stay in power. Venezuela is a good example of authoritarians, once in power, stacking the deck so that the next election keeps them in power. And as they become more unpopular, they continue to stack the deck farther and farther. I don't know if Modi and BJP are doing that.)

I applaud Patagonia for being principled and for standing for something.

I deeply question justifying the decision based on this list of wrongs facebook did:

https://www.stophateforprofit.org/#comp-kba0i6jc

This is not very convincing. It's very emotional and I couldn't find a single source, or link, or evidence of these any of these claims on that website. It's basically one large corporation not really known for its ethics (the ADL) saying "side with us!" and telling you to hate the other large, faceless corporation not known for its ethics.
No we want a system in which pleading to a faceless mob of people on social media is not the solution to needing a kidney transplant.
Yeh, this seems backwards, the users pay the companies for free products with their data and their attention. That's the business model. Why would Facebook and Google run those servers if they couldn't have profitably targeted ads.

If you want privacy honoring products you want the users to pay money for the service.
> I don't think Reddit should be able to censor lawful content and also claim protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

The whole point of Section 230 was so sites could do that. Before 230, there has been court rulings that said if you moderate the content you are liable for the content. 230 was enacted specifically to reverse that.
They also (seemingly) said you could transfer it to others or disable it without your phone via iCloud, so I'm skeptic.
China has made big short-term gains because of an authoritarian rule. But, for a sustained growth, like that of USA, you need an open, democratic society which allows people to express their newly find voice. As people gain wealth, exposure and education, they gain new intellectual capabilities. This capability can be used for innovation but that requires people don't have undue pressure - they feel free to express their ideas and thoughts.
If you're in constant battle with your own people/government, lot of energy is wasted that could otherwise be used to do more important things that can take you and yoru nation further.
> Imagine if Apple were to announce a Mac utilise the exact same chip.

This seems unlikely unless Apple has decided to sell their chips for the first time ever.

I suppose it could be interesting from Apple's PR perspective, but I have serious doubts that the supercomputer owner would agree to this. What happens to them when Apple discontinues the current chip in favor of the next one?
