The founder of SMIC on the mainland is actually Taiwanese and a former TSMC executive. Loyalties cut across the strait both ways, westerners overemphasis attachment to values and ideology over bloodlines and ancestry. It's true for some but not for others. There are quite a lot of foreign engineers working on the mainland, especially Taiwanese engineers. If you are a industry vet or got some kind of special talent you can easily 3x your salary by moving to the mainland from Taiwan.

For example, Justin Yifu Lin, the former World Bank chief economist was a Taiwanese defector who to swam to Mainland China. Before he defected in the (early 90's I believe) he was a rising star within the establishment in Taiwan.

Short term definitively bad for Huawei, but the long term it should help the development of the indigenous semiconductor industry on the mainland. Necessity is the mother of invention and nowhere else is there the capital, political will and now sheer necessity as there is on the Mainland.

A lot of "huaqiao" i.e. overseas Chinese that go back to the mainland (I include Taiwanese people here) despite the repressive political atmosphere and bad environmental quality, food safety are motivated by this. In the West you can only go so far, back there, especially if you have specialized technical knowledge, you have a chance to make an impact at scale that would never be possible in the West.

I am not sure what the U.S. can really do about this without adopting essentially the same repression as in China. I.E. control the flow of personal. On the mainland if you are a leading expert in this field or that, or belong to specific establishments (such as public security or state security) you cannot exit the country without permission from higher up the food chain.

Anyways, my point at the end, is the central point of competitive advantage or a company or nation is human talent. You can restrict technology or natural resources but it's human beings that make a company or a nation competitive. So unless the U.S. finds a way to prevent talent from flowing to the mainland, either from the U.S. and/or other parts of the world it is very hard to prevent another country, especially such a big one from doing what you don't want. And when they eventually do get to that point they will be twice as bitter at you for having tried to stop them.
I have refused to perform 360's in the past.

They are usually semi-anonymous though and no one really noticed. I think that we should be careful of inculcating such a culture. It can support and enforce clique's at work. It also as a deliverable, leans fairly hard on your co-workers. Why should we build a system that essentially delivers pre-digested content for management?

tl;dr: "Overall: a lot of people (for very good reasons!) want to have control over the kind of feedback their manager hears about them." exactly!

It also could become a Vanity Metric, and this doesn't help anyone. [1]

If you want to blend in with the RobinHood traders then you need to have some capital at play already and have had some success. Anyone whose first significant successful trades were yesterday would be up for scrutiny. At the point you fit that profile, risking what you have (and your freedom) for more becomes much less appealing.

Also, I suspect that if the hack had occurred during market hours, Twitter execs would have aggressively shut down the entire site. I imagine the hacks were intentionally timed to start after the markets closed to maximize the window for bitcoin payments. Twitter stayed up, so if that was the strategy, it seemed to work.

That point is not under contention; let me reiterate

>the “New Motor Voter Act,” which was passed in October 2015. The combination of these two acts, one allowing undocumented residents to obtain driver’s licenses, the other automatically registering citizens to vote when obtaining driver’s licenses, sparked fears (which have been periodically resurrected for more than a decade) that California was allowing undocumented residents to vote.

So there is no question that they are registered to vote. The remaining argument is whether they are sufficiently prevent from voting after being automatically registered (failing to opt out by accident or choice.)
At least he complained that there was a double-standard where the CCP gets the data and the US doesn't.

We know he wants the US to get the data, too. We know that neither should.
I'm definitely resentful and demoralized.

It's not a red herring, but yes they have, and that's one reason my grandparent comment mentions Rodney King.
Every language should have robust, standard collections functions like Python does. Once you start doing quick things with lists like the zip function, or list comprehensions, it's hard to go back.
Awesome.

Well, I have no users because there's no community yet, but I did set up a Zulip (cloud) for my Iron Arachne project.

I plan on linking to it from the website's main menu.
I bet that was the problem; we created streams for channels and vs. having a single stream with all the channels being threads inside of them.
One cool thing about it is that, if the infra is just a bunch of k8s pods, you can efortlessly create any number of per-developer environments using the same deployment scripts as are used for production deployments (ideally, you just change address of the k8s cluster and some environment-specific stuff like secrets), and these environment are guaranteed to be extremely production-like.
People are being drummed up into a cold war mentality left right and center. Its become increasingly obvious recently.
This is an amazingly cool story. One of the best things I've read on the internet.
OTOH, I've evaluated Metabase a number of times and never manage to get more than 10 minutes in before running into some staggering flaw that convinces me that I can't put this in front of other people in the business and expect them to use it. I ended up deploying Redash instead - it is unquestionably a much less ambitious project, but it mostly achieves its aims.
i think you succeeded in communicating your thoughts and feelings in spite of the metaphor.

there are plenty of documentation in the form of tutorials on for nearly every aspect of every programming language I can think of. I think it's important to keep in mind that we all learn differently and sometimes one explanation can make no sense while another makes a lot of sense.

That said, I think I get your frustration in that sometimes the process of _finding_ the explanation that clicks for whatever your question is (how to emit assembler?) can be really painful because all the explanations are shallow.

However, I don't think it's fair to take that frustration out on the writers (I got the impression you were, but maybe you weren't and just felt like venting). I for one encourage engineers to write if no for no other reason than to better cement their own understanding.

I do wonder, though, if maybe there's some improvements we can make to how we filter / search for long-form technical articles outside of google so that the content is more relevant
I swear this happened to me with Grubhub. I had a problem with my order and used their chat. After I wrote my problem the agent replied with a standard answer and then immediately:

"Is there anything else I can help you with?"

And then immediately after that:

"No, ok I will close this chat."
What is overly reductive is reducing the entirety of the evolution of human society up to the current state to the metaphor of a cage, a metaphor chosen for the purpose of inducing fear and suspicion of others with whom you share society.
I actually find that people who aren't that familiar with programming are pretty quick to accept the idea that aliasing xor mutable is an okay rule... not because it's been exhaustively explained, but just because people have no real expectations at all about how things should work when they're starting out. A lot of language rules seem arbitrary at that point. Afterwards, when using other languages, they may even find it surprising that you can mutate stuff without this rule... it's all about what you're used to.
If this article is accurate, and the hacker did consider alternative ways to make more money, or legal ways, then this really puts the blame on Twitter. If their bug bounty wasn't absolutely ridiculously low ($7,700 for oauth account takeover), then they could have prevented this. Essentially they're putting the value of security for their entire user base as $7,700. This bounty should be in excess of $1 million easily.
If you find the youtube algorithm interesting, you may like this interview with the guy in charge of the team who works on it (warning, hour plus video that will fill your recommendations with Lex Fridman!):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkWmiNRPU-c

I suspect that "sticky content" like conspiracy videos is just as difficult for Google as it is for us -- certain content is just magnetic, for one psychological reason or another.

The big takeaway from that interview for me was that "time watched" is the biggest metric, not likes, clicks, subscriptions, etc. I guess that makes sense, given that time is a bit like currency. But sometimes what people think they like doesn't line up 1:1 with what they actually like.
i chuckled that this comment was grayed out. I was analyzing my feelings and voting indicators really do make an impact. I can feel the emotional charge from all the people who downvote as I'm reading.

emotional context truly is the 6th sense.
We devote vast amounts of real estate to transportation too. The surface areas of just the on/off ramps of a highway blow my mind. Then there’s the road kill. I wish there was a better way.
> If 4chan had started out with a different seed group of contributors, it might well be a very, very different place.

Hoping that's the case as I'm working on a new chat-based discussion site with no voting and goal of open, rigorous, reverent discussions (sqwok.im). I think there's merit in using signals like activity and others to determine relevance, and agree that part of the problem with 4chan is simply the ethos set in the beginning.
The paper says it works as inhibitor. Everybody says it works as inhibitor.
Nobody says it works as treatment. But still people refuse to read and translate inhibition as treatment. Guess what, it's not.

Inhibition works by taking it 2-3 weeks prior, not after the infection. This is no treatment, it's prevention.
I’ve had basically the identical experience. I swear it even seems to turn off notifications to some of the more obscure channels and I have to turn them back on again. The niche stuff (Engineering, Chemistry, Modular-synth stuff, demoscene stuff, Math, countless others) is YouTube’s strength in my opinion. It’s disappointing that they so strongly discourage that use.
>= 1.0 in semantic versioning universally means that it should be "stable enough"
Sure, but an officer's mental process is irrelevant to whether they're committing assault, murder, etc. Focusing on the training is a red herring, the immediate problem is one of incentives. We've already got a straightforward way of categorizing prohibited behavior - the law - and we need to start by applying it to the police as well. Every one of those videos shows an aggravated assault, and these violent criminals need to be prosecuted and locked away from society.
100% Agree. The sad part is, at least for me, it works... i definitely waste more time on youtube now....

That said, i also think production value in popular channels has really skyrocked the last few years. We've entered kind of a golden age for user generated content, for better or worse. It is very entertaining but very much more addicting.

For example, i watched a guy for years who reviewed classic synthesizers and made silly songs. He has recently made an entire 2hr documentary on the history of ARP synthesizers with engineer interviews and everything! It is like some Ken Burns level stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l31RXiVSI9s Nothing on youtube existed like this a few years ago. It is an amazing world we live in now.

You may be buying it from Damascus but that crucible steel was coming from Hyderabad.
There are gradients to everything. Where in the US we have a free press to document human rights violations and people can voice their opinion, China has none. The problem with statements like yours is that it completely trivializes the major violations of one country and the progress that has been made in improving human rights of the other.
Genuine question, coming from the perspective of a city-dwelling office worker.

I get the value of having a knife like this in the house (to open and break down cardboard boxes, etc). Why do you need to carry one around? Can you tell me about the last time you used it outside the house?

I'm definitely over-indexing on my own experience here. Would love to have my mind opened to how carrying a knife regularly might improve my day. :)
gotcha. I also get the feeling that GP was more interested in being right vs actually knowing how to get the emitter to emit assembly. It felt like the followup was just gonna be ... well WHAT ABOUT BINARY?
That's the thing - Twitter creates a situation where to dominate the medium, you need to be loud and abusive. Lots of people will use the medium without the need to dominate but those who need to be on top of the social hierarchy will do what it takes to get to the top of this hierarchy (or be replaced by those who do).

I mean, I'm pretty critical of social hierarchies (for a long time I considered myself an anarchist but no longer). But particular kinds of social hierarchies are part of this society and while improving this society is one thing, imagining we can eliminate social hierarchies without changing other stuff is another and problematic thing in my opinion. A lot of the problematic evolution of this society over the last fifty years has involved the change from authorized, rules-setting authority to bullying-authority and that's produced some actual abuse but has moreover, reduced our ability to act against visible problems, a situation that's past the verge of crisis.

If that's the only reason, then you'd think companies like Apple with dedicated fab timeshare could cut costs by printing their own RAM chips, rather than buying them. And It's not like DRAM contains any complex IP they'd need to license—if you can lay out a CPU, you can lay out RAM.
Now imagine what happens when they remove Israel from the Google Maps. What the hell is going on Google?
The Twitter Hack Could Have Been Much Worse–and Maybe Was
I wanted to investigate this idea that states with larger populations of illegal immigrants would be more prone to voter fraud. I searched for "how many illegal immigrants voted in 2016." I can't find results suggesting widespread voter fraud anywhere in the United States.

I once sent an insignificant amount of bitcoin to one of those "honest Ponzi schemes" - that is websites which promise a quick return of 1+x% of your capital while declaring upfront that they will become insolvent, that they are ponzis. Just for the fun of it. I got my 1+x% back. The website shut down very quickly, the authors got scared by how many people decided to play this idiotic game.

It's human nature to play games like this. The whole idea of startup "IPO exit" is really just a ponzi play (if you think the company is good - why the heck would you sell it just as soon as the "dumb money" moves in?).
Gas subsidies have to be amongst the worst things we’re doing to ourselves. But we’re practically forced to them because of the secondary price effects.
> Once you start doing quick things with lists like the zip function, or list comprehensions, it's hard to go back.

Totally agree with you on this one, but I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say that they're a defining feature of Python, more of functional languages, from which Python has borrowed a thing or two.
"Completely crazy" is a strong choice of words for a policy that has been independently enacted in practically every country around the world, often from the bottom up (people isolating en masse after death starts to encroach on their social circles) and sometimes very successfully (China). You say people have collectively gone mad; I say that the policy makers have access to more facts, better contextualized research, and a more holistic assessment of the situation than any armchair scientist. (Caveat: I don't know anything about the head of the CDC, so I'm only speaking for Fauci.)

To be clear, continued lockdown absolutely sucks, and we should be doing something like this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhRQxk9QA-o. (A brief period of lockdown, mass testing, contact tracing, supported isolation, and gradual reopening.) But hey, America.

As for masks, they're a) cheap and trivial to implement, b) have been in use for decades in countries around the world, and c) seem to prevent spread by a non-trivial amount (according to recent articles I've come across). It's downright absurd to call such a policy any kind of crazy in the middle of a pandemic.
So, if I were being sarcastic/cynical -- I would say, "so we object to China trying to become a global superpower by investing in the arts, media, technology, and a slew of other things that cause economic gains for their people?" How dare they stoop to such tactics.

I would actually feel more in earnest about the above joke if it didn't come with (or was trying to mask) the torture, economic espionage, etc.
Guess who will suffer.

Evolution of Electronic Music – Part 2 of 3
Can you name a nation that does not care about their own interests? US or not, replace it with France or Brazil or India.

It’s not just US, - Japan, EU, SK, APEC, India, Australia, NZ, everyone is piling up on the CCP’s regime that it has built up by abusing its own citizens, iron grip over the society, surveillance and extreme form of asymmetry in trade.

Look up: http://www.ipac.global

So bashing on US is convenient and easy but you’re turning away from the actual geo political climate against China, clouding your own judgement perhaps with prejudice but I won’t go that far.
The Blue Check Hack: Who, How, and Why?
You mean after invading Taiwan? TSMC is in the Republic of China, not the People's Republic of China. They're not, for practical intents and purposes, the same country.
I'd argue there's a qualitative difference between A/B testing regular pricing vs. testing via targeted discounts.

If your friend finds out you got a "private sale" price, this doesn't seem to violate the "fairness" principle because you were a part of something or got targeted for a reason. It might actually end up increasing the friends FOMO/jealousy and get them to find ways to join in on the discount via mailing lists, insider clubs, etc.

A/B testing pricing might come off as arbitrary and not easily reasoned away thus violating a sense of fairness (at least during testing).

I don't see this as a huge issue as A/B testing is usually limited time/scope but something to think about, I guess.
Half the stuff you just mentioned China has not actually developed. Fancy demonstrations are not actually products. I don’t get why so many people on hacker news are falling for obvious propaganda.
I wasn't confused about what assembly was.

Not going to address this post directly, but a quick glance at hungryhobo's comments shows that at least the first three pages (i.e. the most recent comments) are exclusively about defending the regime in China. If that's not trolling, I don't know what is.
I wouldn't call it irony. It proving my point, that we only interact with the popular posts.
I'd be surprised and saddened if it were legal for a company to offer a contract that they couldn't legally commit to, like saying they'd keep the data out of the U.S. but also give it to the U.S. gov if asked. I guess the legality of offering a contract that they can't commit to is a local legal question, but I'd hope that it's an uncommon thing to allow.
> render the deeply flawed card payments industry obsolete

Honest question: from a consumer perspective, what is deeply flawed about it?

I realize this isn't available everywhere, but with my cards I can make payments in virtually any country without ever having to deal with local currencies, currency conversion fees, bank account overdrafts, or having the physical card with me as I use my phone for 90% of transactions where I live. All this while getting 2-5% back on every purchase and (if I want to pay an annual fee and deal with more cards) a whole slew of travel benefits and free flights every year or so.
There were 6 MCDP handbooks -- I helped edit a re-release of #6 as a policy intern/college student after getting out of the USMC.

But I agree with parent's point -- MDCP #1 Warfighting is pretty good. If you're a military nerd all 6 are great, but if you're just going read one of them then definitely stick to Warfighting.
Not really, every sell has the equal and opposite buy, so a "sell-off" is also a "buy-in"
I like that idea, Bidden tweets he's thinking of some pro-crypto policies if elected, donate to his election campaign now if you want this to happen!
There's a simple economic explanation for this. There are more black (and BLM sympathizers of other races) customers in the US for these companies than there are Chinese customers and especially Chinese customers affected by CCP injustices. On the flip side the CCP gates access to the enormous Chinese market. Result: in the US signaling support for civil rights issues is probably a net win, while for China sucking up to the CCP is probably a net win. I don't think personal opinions factor into it much, especially for large publicly traded companies.
Burger King’s Reduced Methane Emissions Beef Whopper
That's exactly my point. Essentializing about society being a cage that prevents people from being fully human removes all nuance as to which social norms are pro-social and which are anti-social, which norms are suffocating, and which norms actually provide the freedom from fear that people need in order to exist without constant anxiety. It treats all of them the same - as shackles on the "freedom" necessary to be a "full human".
