YOu know what doublethink is?
Yeah, this is really cool. WiFi hardware is one of those things that I find even a lot of more "techy" people like you'll find on HN view as a black box. It's awesome when someone aggregates a bunch of information and then shares it so that we can all develop a better understanding.
Yeah, that's the zero-sum thinking the US needs. "We'll take all the people in your country who are smart and hard working enough to support themselves here." It's what the country was built on.

In my home country people talked about "reciprocity" on immigration policy, like "if you admit our workers we'll admit yours", but smarter policy would be retaliatory -- "if you steal our workers, we'll steal yours!" See the UK threatening to give visas to Hong Kong residents in the last month or so.

(Though calling that transaction zero sum could be debatable. When someone moves to the US, normally the US wins, the migrant wins, and the origin country usually loses unless there are remittances, but relative magnitudes can be haggled over.)
I'm not a kernel expert but this seems like something that would be ISA-specific. If you're running a Linux kernel on anything other than a 68k processor, this code won't even be there for the most part. And if you are running it on a 68k, odds are you're running it on an old Mac anyway.
It doesn't need to be profitable, but I'd question the idea that the postal service, in particular, should be subsidized. Even without being subsidized, it has negative externalities that likely aren't being appropriately priced.

You don’t need old hardware to verify the speed differences. If you just take a browser in i3wm on bare arch Linux install that will be faster than in windows10 on the same machine. At least snappier. It’s just significantly lower overheads in Linux because you can tailor to your needs and remove all bloat. Also windows GUI is just more taxing on the system compared to Linux so that is going to be better at rendering something like a simple browser. Linux is slightly faster in some benchmarks(like geek bench) but overall the differences are minor when comparing apples to apples. It’s things GUI related where Linux has the edge in performance and some of the recent games have for some reason performed better on Linux than Windows according to an LTT video which is due to some real interest and development in Linux gaming.

> 1) FDA needs to move its data ingestion into the 21st century (note: large industry can be as resistant to changing current process as bureaucracy). In no rational universe should we have to mail data in 2020

I find it fascinating that the FDA wants data in SAS 5 transport files [1][2], a file format with very obvious mainframe heritage – 80 byte records and floating point values in IBM hexadecimal floating point instead of IEEE [3].

Oh, of course. Violence to counter speech is unacceptable.

Even with a call to action. (A call to action also needs to be specific - "lynch John Doe at 123 Main Street" - and timely - "tomorrow night" - to be outside first amendment protection in the US by my understanding)
Is there a way to run Emacs on MacOS with an updated interface? Running Emacs in the terminal limits the functionality, but the GUI versions I've tried are garish-looking to me.

The US govt did a lot of shady stuff with dismantling Anderson (a not so uncommon theme) and broke several laws. By the time judges scolded the govt etc, it was too late. Arthur Anderson was done for.

How about just an option for new tabs to retain a “Back” history to their parent.
I don't know if reality is a simulation or not, however there's no clear way to prove it or not so in the absence of any evidence I'm not inclined to believe it, this is my approach to everything. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and I don't tend to assume that improbable things are true if the world works just fine without them.

I'm not sure why someone 200 years ago would accuse me of being superstitious.
That's not unique to Apple. No company adopts cookie-cutter standard methodology either. There is always compromises.
Parler doesn't solve any of the alleged problems with centralized tech platforms. It just erects another centralized service with yet another promissory note to be nice and stuff.

They are simply cynically using the fears/persecution complexes of conservatives (many of whom have huge audiences on the social networks they claim are oppressing them) as a ploy to seed their network with a large pool of users.

If the people migrating really cared about tech censorship, they'd launch a Mastadon node.
Indeed. I'm a big fan of Firefox + Privacy Badger. It predated most browser tracking prevention features, and I've found more and more is getting caught by the browser before it even makes it to Privacy Badger. I suspect eventually Firefox will be good enough at it to render the extension mostly obsolete.
Arthur Anderson if I’m recalling correctly didn’t go out of business so much as pushed out of business not fairly or completely legally by the feds.
That is not how positive sum games are defined.
Lots of questions from a layman.

What's our level of confidence that we'll be able to find something that can wipe out cities or civilization?

What's our percentage of detection? Does it vary by size, velocity, and orbit?

How much lead time do we have? Years? Days? Hours?

What can we do about it?

Will we ever attain a complete picture of asteroids in orbit? (Assuming there are no collisions that alter trajectories?)

What's the probability we'll be hit by something big within our lifetime?
It costs significantly less to send a lightweight package, via the USPS, from China to the U.S. than it does to send it within the U.S.

There's no reason American taxpayers and postal rate payers should be subsidizing shipping costs for Chinese Ebay/Amazon merchants at the expense of their American competitors.
This is a major foreign aid program by the US. For decades the US has benefited from a so-called “brain drain” as smart people from other countries came to the US to work, or to be educated and then staying to work. Germany sent their best and brightest starting in the 1930s and continuing into the 40s when they induced other countries to do the same. There would be no A bomb without this, for example, nor US moon missions.

GW Bush returned the favor by sending stem cell work to China and Singapore (and to a lesser extent, Europe). Now smart scientists, if they want to work in person with the widest supply of good colleagues, will go to other wealthy countries.

It’s hard to see this as anything good for the world.

The payoffs are in the pattern overlapping. Try to read it that way and you’ll see how he/she keeps aligning the parallels until it’s clear.

Pretty good read, I just disagree with the conclusion (final paragraphs). One could argue the article itself is an inverting of the narrative of the narrative, and thus has nothing left to say.

I’m going to confuse myself here I feel, but the article as analysis, if I’m right about itself being an inversion, has to be taken as non-analysis and just a description ultimately.

It’s got nothing left to say because there’s really nothing left to say.

PeduliLindungi Covid-19 App reliability is kinda sketchy
So Indonesia's Minister of Information & Communication Technology is makin an app that claims to be able to detect body temperature??

https://katadata.co.id/berita/2020/06/22/gaet-4-juta-pengguna-aplikasi-buatan-kominfo-akan-bisa-cek-suhu-tubuh

The app is called PeduliLindungi and it's already available in the AppStore but it's said in the article that this new "feature" that uses "face recognition" to detect body temp is gonna be released in the second week of July. Do they even understand how anything on a phone works??? Their reliability seems concerning here
This comment is basically "how about America stop competing". If your country isn't competitive for tech or any other worker, then it's a problem with your country.

I have zero sympathy for European tech workers who complain about the dramatically lower salaries they receive while they simultaneously vote for giant governments which levy effective tax rates of 50%+ on them.

Now that the UK is leaving the EU, the EU is one of the worst places for tech in the world from the perspective of the employee. This only serves to benefit the US, Switzerland, the UK and other countries supporting their industries rather than crushing them with ridiculous regulatory burdens (GDPR and others).

If you have brain drain, it's 100% because your country is not competitive.
Practically they don’t need to be profitable since we print our own currency. As Prof. Stephanie Kelton puts it “the governments red ink is our black ink.” But politically when US politicians want to attack a popular service, they use analogies to home economics to manufacture a crisis.

Worth noting also that the USPS in particular has been politically sabotaged (and they explain how to fix it): https://ips-dc.org/how-congress-manufactured-a-postal-crisis...
Impressive! But loading Google for kicks, in IE, sort of killed it.

Definitely can feel the nostalgia.

I remember the first time I decided to leave Windows 95 run overnight, the next morning, moving the mouse would send the harddrive playhead flying like crazy... You know the old "SHRrrrrt Shrrrt..."

It had such a memory leak overnight that moving the mouse was causing the swap to kick in non-stop!

Poaching as in offering better life prospects?
My foreign friend recently joined Amazon. Her PERM process (where an employer has to advertise a job to Americans before they can green card an employee) was instantaneous, no 3 months, no cooldown. Why? Amazon currently has multiple open positions for her position, that they can not fill, and she was able to fill one of those positions that had been on the market for months. The PERM process is already complete, multiple times over, with honest advertising. At a ludicrous salary, at that.

What you are saying is absolutely true for parts of Amazon, and I'd bet good money on it being true for the others.

Define "that area". :) The Alchemist Brewery in Stowe is highly rated and there are a few other craft breweries around Burlington. If you're taking Hwy 91 through the state they might be a little out of the way.

Willey's Store in Greensboro will have most of Jasper Hill cheeses for sale and maybe an experimental cheese or two. The HQ for Ben & Jerry's ice cream is in Waterbury and the tour is fun (with a free sample at the end).

Depending on when you go there will likely be farmer's markets all through the area with local producers selling all sorts of great stuff.
I just want to say how clear and concise this documentation is. Having examples alongside their code snippets is all you need to understand the library.
It's an artificial deficit that Congress created.

The postal service is one of the few gov't agencies explicitly created in the Constitution; it's vital to national cohesion and commerce (especially rural areas).
The "normal" people care more about the aesthetics of the iPhone than the hardware. Although, everyone places the phone in a case. The outer appearance helps a lot when people are buying and the software animations are still arguably better than android. Basically, Apple has somehow made a complete visual experience pleasing throughout the years and while a Nokia or HTC device can mimic functionality. They still don't give the same impression for "normal" people.
I really like how the article phrases money as options. It’s really like a heart and mind question, and that I think is the biggest chasm to cross. At the end are we happier if we follow our hearts?
> -It was covered in impact craters. As distinct and varied as you see on the moon.

Are you sure you aren't misremembering or embellishing your memory? That's an incredible level of detail. That sort of resolution isn't even seen in the Chelyabinsk meteor (it was a fireball), and that created a lot of physical damage.

> there was a large (size of tennis ball at arm's length) orange-red object covered in impact craters moving towards the horizon.

That's obscenely large. Something that massive would have caused all sorts of damage. People would have noticed.

> American universities sell out their limit capacities to foreign students for huge amounts of money. This forces out huge numbers of American students from attaining the educations they need to get the jobs many H1B workers take.

For many American public universities this is the opposite of the truth, they take a large share of foreign students because they are permitted by their governing law to charge them much higher tuition, and use that to support their domestic, especially in-state, student populations, for which public subsidies have been drastically cut over time. (To the extent there is a problem constraining US students, it's not the universities accepting foreign students to pay the bills, it's the states for cutting public subsidies.)

> Space at top American universities is currently a zero sum game.

No, it's not. Lower surplus revenue from foreign students means lower total sustainable student populations.

> The fact is that big tech companies are almost never using the H1B as intended.

They are using it for exactly what motivated businesses to lobby for it and their pet Congresscritters to vote for it.

They might be using it contrary to the way it's been sold to the public, but that was always a lie. While labor shortages in particular areas are possible, they aren't common, and H-1B isn't even well adapted to address them (for one thing, if you were concerned about labor shortages, you wouldn’t tie visas to an employer but to employment in the field with the verified shortage.)

> The price of real estate in the Bay Area is also currently a zero sum game.

Since people can and do bid that price up without being present in the US, legally or otherwise, I'm not sure, even to the extent that you could define a sense where it is zero sum, how that is even relevant to the discussion.
It's actually not that complicated. It's just different and, coming from traditional languages, strange.

Some technical mistakes in your post was already raised by another reply, and I just want to point out how the levels actually work. I've played around with COBOL on and off out of casual interest, but when the Oreilly COBOL book became available to me recently I decided to read it just for fun.

As it turns out, COBOL mixes the concept of variables and report definitions. To paraphrase an example from the book[1], which I can recommend:

01 date-of-birth.
02 year.
03 century pic 99.
03 year-in-century pic 99.
02 filler pic x value "-".
02 month pic 99.
02 filler pic x value "-".
02 day pic 99.

With that definition, you can read and write values to and from each individual field, but also access the higher level ones as a combined field. For example, if I assign a full ISO 8601 date to the variable date-of-birth, like so:

move "2010-01-02" to date-of-birth

I can then read the year by simply reading the corresponding variable:

display "year is ", year

It all becomes much more clear once one realises that variable definitions in COBOL are conceptually field definitions for reports and fixed column storage formats. If the task at hand matches the way COBOL thinks of data, things are pretty simple. Once you want to move outside that realm things becomes harder.

My understanding is that in the mainframe world, COBOL programs are parts of much larger workflows, all coordinated by JCL scripts. Since all data is already in fixed column form, typing together these COBOL programs is similar to how you build pipes out of different programs when you write shellscripts in Unix.

I'll just put the data in front of you and let you decide:

https://coronavirus.1point3acres.com/en/test

Go to the chart for California. Percent positive tests and hospitalizations are the most important factors here. Hospitalizations have gone up, undoubtedly (from 4,500 to now almost 6,000). That said, percent positive tests has remained flat. Deaths in CA also continue to trend down.

What conclusion do you draw from that? To me, it appears that the concentration of Covid in the population of California has not increased. At the same time, there are more hospitalizations. Perhaps Covid is not getting worse in CA, but more people are finding out that they have it due to increased testing and are then going to the hospital out of an abundance of caution.

As an aside, you and the guy you're replying to are obviously extremely emotional about this. Learn to recognize that and realize that if you're feeling emotional when looking at data, some part of your brain cares way too much to remain objective. Both of you are clearly biased.

It’s amazing how we had to threaten the UN to get them to end this OBVIOUSLY uncompetitive practice. Why should US company tax dollars go to subsidize the cost of a foreign competitor? And we’re not talking about helping our a 3rd world country here, we’re taking about our largest rival for world power.

The UN being unwilling to separate China from the rest of the lot until being threatened says enough.

Which is by the way completely ridiculous. The presidential office is not synonymous with whichever person currently inhabits it.

When Donald Trump chooses to communicate on private platforms he ought to be treated like any other user. If the president were to walk into a bar and start smashing tables, unless you're in a banana republic, he'd be thrown out.

If he wants to communicate in a public manner and not follow private rules the president has official channels precisely for that reason. The personification of the American presidential office is bizarre and also sadly not new.

Look at the trendline for deaths. It's the only one that really matters. It's been going down linearly since mid-April. It looks like the recent "increase" in cases is due to some states (e.g. Texas) counting serology tests as "Covid tests" in addition to rT-PCR.
