Suicide is up in every countries with lockdowns. “Generous” money printing or not.
The same list you gave already applies to data already readable on Google Drive - most people have data that can be used against them on those drives. Also, many apps ask for (And get) permission to read contacts and messages on your phone.

Claiming that this is the reason is sort of like rearranging the chairs on the deck of the titanic when you can see the iceberg.

Much more likely it is to stop import/export to a competing app. The fact they will let you keep a local encrypted copy, but not an unencrypted one under any circumstances, is telling.
A very limited/ target sanction against a few members. They should actually freeze the foreign assets of all Politburo members and work on technologies to circumvent the Great Fire wall inside China
Banning Apple means taking a hit to the economy, likewise for all the other industries you mention. The Chinese economy is just as dependent on Western economy as the reverse. Nobody wins when the world economy grinds to a halt. Especially not the exporter, the importers will just import from somebody else if conditions favor that.

Yes, but also the collar is buttoned down because those shirts don't have bones and are not starched.
This smacks of being heavily one-product-focussed to me. Being a Kafka user it's hard enough managing and understanding one system, nevermind three or four joined together.

Maybe it's a bit faster or a bit more elastic, or whatever, who knows. What I really care about is whether I get called at 3am and in that regard the argument seems pretty weak. Kafka for all its woes is a solid system you know you can count on.

I'd much rather see someone come up with a truly innovative alternative that actually pushes the boundaries, rather than just copying what's there already, and adding a few window dressings.
Quibi is like TikTok with celebrities that I have to pay for. I know the content is scripted, longer, and well-produced, but it seriously just feels like expensive TikTok, and I couldn't justify paying for it when the only content I wanted was Reno 911, which I finished watching during the trial.

That could be the other problem. The trial is long enough to finish watching the one thing on Quibi you downloaded it to watch.

The content is SO random that I can't imagine someone finds more than 1, maybe 2, things to watch that are to their liking.
Laughable that they are even comparable. CCP is doing a legit population mindwiping.

I agree on over-incarceration the most. Police brutality needs to be backed up by numbers, not just a video or two every year that gets shown 1 million times on all media.

Most of those "refugees" are simply economic migrants. I don't blame them at all, but there's a point at which we need to have laws to see who/how people can get into this country to become a part of our society. Doing nothing and basically letting anybody who can walk here get in is NOT the answer.

> OCaml is definitely much nicer to use than C and C++. But I don't find it that much nicer to use than Rust TBH.

I find OCaml quite a bit nicer to use than Rust, though in a lot of ways that's due to my preference for structuring code using modules and functors.

However, due to Cargo and the fact that Rust has good Windows support, I end up reaching for Rust much more often than I do for OCaml.

In what theoretical dimension do you find these “neutral interested third party” people? In my experience, every discussion is a result of (at least) two people with both an opposing view and and, more crucially, an interest to argue the point. The very prerequisite of a debate is an interest in arguing a specific point of view, which most often precludes any participant being a neutral third party.

Of course, you could always argue “for the gallery”, i.e. not try to persuade your opponent, but to merely use the debate as a platform to reach an audience. But this is not persuasion; this is rhetoric. Analogies can be used as rhetorical tools. But analogies won’t persuade your opponent.

Therefore, if you’re arguing with someone else one-on-one, and there is no one else to win over by rhetorical tricks, you should avoid using analogies, since analogies aren’t persuasive.
> What would Apple do if China will give them a Huawei treatment?

Well, all those people would instantly be out of a job for one. What Huawei factories in the US are being shut down? It's one thing to lose market access, it's another to lose jobs.

> Pretty much every globally prominent company dealing with light industries, manufacturing, electronics has some things in their products which they cannot reasonably expect to get elsewhere but in/from China.

Cheap is a better word here. There is not a single item in China that can't be replicated elsewhere in the world for consumer products.

> A lot of living essentials are made almost solely in China.

Because of cheapness, not because they can't be created elsewhere. Many countries can create these goods, including the U.S.

> Unless Americans are ready for that, they can't fight China, and the people in Beijing know it very well.

Americans might not be "ready" but they can definitely decouple with China if push comes to shove.

Cheating is also deeply ingrained in the culture, though. Much like it is in the US entrepreneurial culture (not just VC backed companies and fortune 500s, but mom and pop businesses).

Old history is one thing, but the whole country being run as a corporation for the past 70 years is another.
I am frustrated with how the "internal combustion engine" has become a veil with which a priestly mechanic class hides sacred knowledge of how cars works from plebeians like myself.
I don't think I've ever witnessed a HN discussion that has such a high density of heavily down-voted comments. Amazing.
Maybe I'm seeing what I want but it seems that the plan is for the document formats and editing programs to be free while generating revenue from infrastructure around delivering something "Sharepoint-like" (or a SaaS service to do similar), complete with a throat to choke/vendor to blame if things go sideways. I don't see this as fundamentally different from the choice of running CentOS versus paying for RHEL: the latter is the same software but comes with enterprise assurances that allow the CIO to sleep at night.

I'm sure there's someone could write a compelling essay along the lines of "Free Software isn't free of charge" if someone were inclined to pursue it. Even people like RMS have to eat from time to time.

Yup. And although I understand the Obama plan to build a consensus to take on their subversion... it's tough to let this continue on for much longer.

Basically if China wants to be a world leader equal to or above the US, we need some guarantees that they aren't going to plunder the world for their own nationalism. If not, then they need to feel pain until they do.
Another approach is to use thin clones of Postgres to create disposable databases for fast iterations.

We've made Database Lab tool working on top of CoW file systems (ZFS, LVM) that is capable of provision multiterabyte Postgres instances in seconds. The goal is to use such clones to verify database migrations and optimize SQL queries against production-size data. See our repo: https://gitlab.com/postgres-ai/database-lab.

So far. Secondary effects from lockdown will continue long after the pandemic wave is over.

For example, consider how many people delayed a cancer screening or treatment in the last few months. If anyone who loses a month of life to respiratory disease is a “COVID death”, then anyone who loses a year to cancer, because they waited to treat it, is a “lockdown death”, right?
None should be? We've experimented with privatization in the UK. No field has been a success, every one has been a failure afaik.

Trains - Worse, terrible in fact

Housing - Went from 300k houses p/y being built by councils, to 30k by their privatized replacement. Now severe housing shortage 30 years later

Medicine - Terrible, caused deaths in covid crisis, privately managed PPE stocks were a disaster

Water - Terrible, all profits have been used to pay shareholders, taken on huge debt. little investment in infrastructure, ticking time bomb before bailout needed

Energy - Crazy price increases

Prices go up, services worsen, and debts pile up. Tell me again why you think they should be privatized?

All that happens is a bunch of privileged shareholders get to mooch off the public purse.

What would Chinese companies do if half or more of their business suddenly dries up? Supplying the US is a major sector of China's economy, and the economic fallout of cutting that link will fall just as hard on China as it does on the US.

There are numerous independent social programs in France. RSA is one. People could receive input from up to 3-4 social programs.

Consider CDI contracts at universities. It has become a sort of UBI. People show up once every few weeks. Never publish papers; never teach properly; never go to any conference; etc. Totally detached from academic life. And they can't be fired. You know what they do with the UBI?

-- Become members of unions. Unions were supposed to protect workers in 80s. Now the least productive members of the institutions join unions to protect themselves. They kill reform policies and maintain status quo.

-- Work is associated dignity. You can't have two classes: workers and suckers. So UBI recipients, holding into administrative roles and unable to do meaningful work, try to fail non-UBI takers.

-- Fail those who actually do their jobs. Otherwise, the gap is going to be problematic.

At the end of the day, UBI would only shift the baseline. The same problems it tries to address exist after the administration of UBI.

You would be surprised if I go over details. America's left does not understand what it's getting into. France's system has really been an eye opening experience for me. I highly recommend people spending time in Europe.

I don't know why this hasn't been upvoted much so far. It's literally the definition of hacking (da, Hackernews). I'm always hesitant to use "literally" where it means figuratively, but this can modem literally is hacking.

US teacher salaries aren't nearly so bad as you're thinking. Median is around $60k, which compares favorably to the median household income of $59k - and teachers get better benefits, too.

Yes, it's not tech-level pay. But it's not exactly "abysmal" either.
It would be nice if we counted COVID-19 deaths the way we count flu deaths, which is generally using the "excess deaths" figure. Why some states would go with "50% of excess deaths" or "65% of excess deaths" seems like an odd choice. Are there non-political reasons for doing that?

There is a population of people who just hate the ribbon. In my experience, they are usually attorneys talking about word. It's the same argument that their attorney ancestors made about Wordperfect 5.1 keystroke commands.

Personally, I don't see the big ribbon issue. It's easy to search for arcane features in the help menu.

IMO, they really need a Mac where you get the top menu bar and a ribbon-like thing. Or some sort of gnarly keyboard mode that would become emacs for lawyers.
It's possible in some jurisdictions although as you say they can very easily be unjust.

There are chemical and physical active ingredients used in sunscreens, with many sunscreens containing a little of each. The physical components tend to work immediately as they block UV frequencies as you mentioned. The chemical components apparently need to be absorbed into the skin.

I agree shaving dozens or hundreds milliseconds of latency is hardly noticeable to end users. But latency is an indicator of how well the system can perform and scale up. Signs of high latency under normal load can reveal design or implementation flaws in the software (supposedly running on any modern hardware) Ultimately you want a system can scale up and delivers consistent latency. Therefore, a low and consistent latency is a health-meter to assure that. Within the same cluster (no network I/O), Pulsar has pretty impressive 5ms pub/sub latency for persistent topics (including written to and acknowledged by the non-volatile disk)

So exactly how much money does Apple make from free apps?

If Apple wanted to make money , it should make it harder for advertising supported apps to make money and force apps to either not exist or get people to pay for them.

I would be okay with that.

> I got my first two jobs probably as a result of my github activity.

That makes sense. You're showing small contributions which is what's expected of a junior engineer. It showcases that you can actually write some code. However, as you advance in your career, the expectation is that you will work on higher level concepts. Github profiles aren't really a place I've seen used to showcase architecture and design skills, nor how candidates work with others, and those things matter significantly more than a 20 line patch in an open source library for a Lead+ engineer.

The parent poster was asking for advice as a Principal Engineer. At that level, they aren't going to be writing much code on a daily basis, so their Github profile is not very relevant to the job at hand. That level is VP equivalent or higher at most companies, and most engineers will not achieve it. It comes without the people management, but is most definitely a leadership position.
As a guy in a, eh, boutique software consultancy with an employee count of "myself" and no idea where my next project after the one I'm currently working on will come from (although I've had some interesting calls lately), I'm just here to support your efforts and say thanks for blogging about your experiences.

I’m curious why you see a difference between the two? Phone companies have been giving away your phone number for years, it gets more spam then my email address at this point, which has made me disable it for all incoming calls except those in my contacts.

At this point, none of us even use phones, my family pretty much use Zoom and at work everything is Google Meet, my phone function is basically a dead function at this point.
GoG does not offer refunds, no-questions-asked. Also unlike GoG, Steam has location/country specific pricing and can do payments in local currencies (at some point they even used to accept Bitcoins). In the third world, you pay much lower prices if you buy through steam. Considering this, Steam has been rather a good thing for gamers.
NSNull is not the null you think
Wrong incentives probably?

Gone are the days when good work alone was enough to get noticed and get appreciated. These days, everyone needs to be aggressive and market themselves, so everyone tries to do stuff that gives them maximum exposure with minimum risk.

Maybe it makes sense for law enforcement to get the attention of the mega rich than that of a struggling school teacher who makes 40K a year.

Not saying it is right, just that as a species, our priorities are completely out of whack.
This is likely going to sound too harsh (and the folks behind this seem lovely), but content creation efforts like this are a red flag to me in terms of evaluating whether or not a bootstrapped SAAS is going to "make" it.

This isn't because they're inherently bad or that the people writing them have bad intentions, but that they're a time/attention trap.

Meta articles like this, "How I made my first $10", "Breaking $1k MRR" and similar tend to do really well in attracting clicks but fail to connect with an actual target audience for whatever it is you're making. This makes them really dangerous as when you're starting out you don't have any "signal" as to what's working and these types seem positive.

Unfortunately, they're the equivalent of handing out free candy when your intention is to open a restaurant.

These folks would be much further ahead if they instead:

1. Started writing/learning about specific tactics and skills for starting and marketing a SAAS.

2. Randomly picked some industry or vertical and just started writing articles about learning that industry and the problems they had.

I say all this as someone who has drunk too deeply of the bootstrapped startup literature well, don't make my mistakes.
I would suggest that the stories are never shared. SaaS are REALLY difficult to get off the ground.
Sure, China's position today is nothing like Japan's 80 years ago. But look at China's or Russia's actions and you see war and retaliatory actions today are also not the same as they were then. Pushing your enemy into taking expensive steps (plenty of options there, from proxy wars, to giving up nuclear facilities, to alienating foreign investment in an attempt to take retaliatory actions against US economic interests) is a result that has been achieved in the past following the exact same script.

I personally don't believe these sanctions have "the right reasons" behind them because the US selectively allies with countries with a similar legal and moral track record as China. If the action is not taken on justice, fairness, or moral grounds I think my implication above is pretty fair.
The only way to do this is to build an integration that makes the switch DEAD SIMPLE. If it involves someone being highly motivated to switch over themselves without any help its not going to gain steam.
> As highlights, our learned model can perform sorting perfectly on any input data size we tested on

I'm not going to drop something into my production code that works on just the inputs you tested with. As ghj pointed out- Java's highly analyzed sort method had a bug for years and we didn't notice.

It's neat research and I won't discourage it at all, but give me some proofs of correctness.
I'm not a manager, but we've had interns on our team. Our company recruits at college job fairs, but I think anyone is able to apply online. They go through an interview similar to any hiring interview.

If they are selected, then they go through 2 days of orientation with speakers talking about the opportunities at the company, what makes us a great place to work (even if we're not). Housing is provided at a local college if they are from a distant area.

During their time at the company, they will have networking events and more speakers every two weeks or so. They don't produce much output since they need to get a machine and security assigned to them as well as learn the company structure. The company views interns as a way to capture low-cost college talent in a 'try before you buy' setting - they look for potential and hard to find diversity categories while making the intern's experience easy.
I've been thinking that, too. . .
That's a great question. Let me try and find an example post to see if it does. If it does not, I'll definitely add that to my backlog because I'd love to have that feature as well.
Agree seems like there is disproportionate dislike here for quibi. How many other billion dollar startups eat the shitter without this much hub-bub?

However it is fair to hate on the founder jeffrey shrekzenburg. I know some folks who work at quibi and say this dude is insufferable. Probably not as insane, but stephen wolfram levels of dooshbaggery. Dictator type who thinks is shit is golden. Turns out he made a 1.5 billion dollar piece of shit and from what i hear, he has finally accepted that maybe he isnt the greatest thing ever.

Why do you think Boom is environmentally unsustainable? Boom is working with fellow YCombinator startup Prometheus to use synthetically produced fuels that are net zero emissions.
It’s crazy that a VC would fund Quibi. Producing that content is expensive and their margins will never justify that type of equity funding.
