EU countries have equivalent surveillance programs (and equivalently poor protections for citizens), as well as having intelligence sharing arrangements with the US (and a number of other countries). This is simply an indisputable fact. For an EU citizen it makes exactly 0 difference whether it’s a US agency spying on them, or a French one. The same people end up with access to the data.

If you’re looking at this from a privacy protection standpoint, it makes very little sense. However if you look at it for what it actually is, economic protectionism, it makes perfect sense. The purpose of all EU privacy regulation is to tariff foreign companies, apply pressure on foreign companies to move more operations to the EU, and to provide a competitive advantage to EU companies.

The US has a very significant trade surplus with the EU when it comes to services (which is what these regulations target, rather than goods). These regulations simply exist as a barrier to that trade, with the added benefit of not having to implement tariffs (which can be very unpopular).

4 years for setting a car on fire is not unreasonable, although maybe a little harsh depending on priors. It's a dangerous thing to do.

But setting five cars on fire is not particularly worse than setting one car on fire.
Another great way to get cartilage is with chicken soup, slow cooked until the gristle liquefies in to the soup. It's more absorbable by the body that way. Chicken fat is great for the skin, too. Easy and cheap to cook - just get a whole hen and simmer it in water in a big pot, or use a crock pot.

> For RISC-V to succeed, it requires a company that builds some good processor designs for it - for smartwatches, smartphones, tablets, laptops desktops - and licenses that to others

The way I see it is that this may actually generate incentive for someone to do that. One of the reasons that that isn't happening yet is because there's no real need with ARM vendors supplying and no real chance with ARM vendors as competition. This could, in theory, clear the way.
It's also something that beginning writers fall into... I run a creative writing site that is for groups of authors to write collective branching fiction together. It's like choose-your-own-adventure but with a slightly more literary focus, where choices are about character and plot choices, rather than just like dungeon exploration. As part of that we encourage third-person past tense, but it's interesting how frequent it is that a new author will come in write their first couple of chapters in present tense - even if the chapters they are following up on are in past tense.

I have flirted with the music industry for longer than I've been an engineer, and the reason I kept getting pulled back into programming is that it is much easier to make much more money. But I think your question makes a false dichotomy. Building a band/solo act is like founding a startup, and being a programmer is more like being a wedding DJ. I think in both cases, you have better odds in the tech world.

I once had a piano teacher who remarked: "why do musicians make so little money? For the same reason they do so many drugs. Professional musicians are paid in dopamine."

There is nothing like a crowd cheering for you.

But you're right, you can make a living being a wedding DJ, or if you can get gigs at upscale hotels/restaurants playing cello or piano, you can make a pretty decent living as a musician. But it takes a lot more work than learning to hook up a bunch of web forms to a database, and usually, it pays a lot less money. Then there's always teaching; and I believe if you have the ability to kindly teach music to children, you have attained enlightenment.

If you are striking out on your own, the grind is like founding a startup. If you build yet another photo-sharing app (or you're a guitar player who sings about love), you have to be uncommonly talented and lucky to break through. Similarly, startups come in many genres; maybe high tech startups are like jazz - often founded by PhDs, and very often failures because no one can wrap their head around it - even though it is brilliant.

If you can make it work - either startups or music, you get paid in dopamine and money. If you make it out the other side of that gauntlet, I believe you have also achieved enlightenment.

If you want to "make a living", it can be done in music. However, you will generally be more stable and comfortable in the world of tech.

I don't know.

I've developed mental models for what is pertinent to my needs, but I have no idea how to talk with other people about this stuff.

My condition involves misprocessing of dietary fats. It took me ages to realize this was one of the ways my immune system was compromised: Bone marrow is fatty and is where white blood cells get produced.

Avoiding fats I don't process well has dramatically reduced my symptoms overall, especially chronic inflammation. But getting enough of the right fats has proven critical to my health and well-being. Loading up on butter and other fats I tolerate well is the quickest way to stop bone pain and I'm convinced it's because that pain is due to stress on my immune system.

Fasting has been beneficial and it took me years and years to realize that and to come up with mental models for why on Earth fasting would boost immune function.

Extreme aquagenic wrinkling is a known tendency for my condition. As I've grown healthier, I'm less prone to that.

It took me years and years to realize this suggests my skin is abnormally spongy and soaks things up instead of keeping things out and this is a really important way my immune function is compromised. So I have gotten a lot pickier about what I am willing to touch because my skin fails to do its job.

It's like we don't tell people that the body's equivalent of windows and doors are even part of the equation. We act like the cameras and alarms are all there is to it and never talk about "If something is really whackadoodle, it's like all the windows are broken and none of the doors have locks, so it almost doesn't matter if the cameras and alarms work. You're screwed anyway."
The best whiteboard/leetcode engineer I was involved in hiring and worked with was absolutely terrible at designing and coding real software. The signal of dedication is a pretty poor proxy for real capability.
EU requires data to be based in the EU. So a US equivalent would be to require data to be based in the US, not banning whatever tickles its fancy.

Consistent rule of law allows economic actors to make proper planning and decisions. If the US wants to ban Chinese apps, it should pass a law saying that.

No, connections better than ADSL can handle the traffic on network side and as long as you're not serving huge content. And as long as you're not doing per-user content generation, your throughout is a question of "how fast can nginx serve memory cache over network". The original RPi B can do 40 rps serving a 180kB file. RPi4 can do 4k rps (https://ibug.io/blog/2019/09/raspberry-pi-4-review-benchmark...).

So surviving front page on HN for a blog post served from home connection should be trivial unless you disabled caching somewhere.
Again, neither you nor the government get to force a company into making products you like. Apple does not exist for you or your whims. There are plenty of other mice on the market, and the Magic Mouse 2 isn’t harming you in any way.
That's violent crime though, which is more obviously bad, even to a teenager. If you're 17 and intentionally kill someone then your brain is broken and you should be kept away from innocent people forever unless you really have some delayed development that comes later.
While that percentage is low, it doesn't tell the whole story. Private prisons are certainly a major symptom of the problem with our prisons. The U.S. has the largest private prison population in the world, and you'll note from your own link that the private prison population from 2000 to 2019 increased by 39%. Also, for federal prisons, the percentage of inmates in private prisons is 19.1%. These are definitely problems and discussing them also helps discuss the big issues such as why in the hell we're incarcerating so many people.

Whether you take out your own garbage or Apple does it it’s still garbage for you to clean up. Some people want to throw money at Apple to take care of the garbage for them.

If you give apps the right not to do things like AppleID they’ll take it and the App Store would be a highly inconsistent experience for people who want to do no thinking about how their device works. There ought to be some middle ground but consumers are the ones who will have their boundaries encroached unless an entity ruthlessly minds the border...

For the degree of opening you leave companies will extract that much concession from your users.

Bing Maps may turn out to be the edge for MSFS over other sims. The 2020 version streams in map data that other sims aren't likely to be able to access or replicate. Maybe they can make a deal with a third party vendor for similar data but that won't come cheap. For Microsoft it's just another use for data they already have.
Yes, but in my experience its a spectrum. From 'always save' to 'always spend.'

One of the more interesting times of my life so far was during the dot com bubble because I got to see a lot of people suddenly feel like they had more money than they ever imagined they would. I observed that the response was always uniquely personal. From a friend who bought 737 jet, only to file bankruptcy a year later, to folks who converted things to bonds and other assets and otherwise didn't change all that much, to people who lived a life of inconvenience only to have their family inherit a huge chunk of wealth when they died.

I suspect that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to predict how someone would actually respond.
I agree the crime is serious. But that she did it more than once doesn't make it proportionally more serious, and certainly should not make the sentence proportionally longer.
Incentives are often a big part of the problem. In many cases, people are writing software that will run on someone else's hardware. This applies to basically all front-end web development, all mobile apps, and all software licensed to someone else.

That means the programmer (or their employer) doesn't pay for the electricity it uses (or battery it drains), the RAM it allocates, the disk space it wastes, or the hardware upgrades necessary to make it run acceptably.

Why conserve a resource that you're not paying for? Especially if you have to expend your own resources to do it.

I'm not defending crappy software (nor, apparently, offering a solution), but if a programmer's personal sense of honor is the only weapon in this fight, then it's not a great formula for winning the fight.
Well, you would probably have a lot less monthly listeners.

It's inconceivable because the Beatles were hugely talented with two and a half very prolific song writers all playing off each other, they had enough money to stop touring and to live in the music studio, and they hired outside talent considered the "fifth Beatle". Not to mention that experiment along with the pace did not last.
Trump Says He Will Ban China-Owned TikTok from Operating in U.S.
There is clearly an "alternative mall" on the market, it's called Android. With 75% global market share they are the ones that are much more likely to be a monopoly, yet for some reason all the accusations are instead being leveled at the minority player on the market.

I don't even know why people are getting hung up on this monopoly thing. You can make a perfectly valid argument against Apple's 30% cut or their overly restrictive App Store policies regardless of whether they have a monopoly or not. Those arguments stand up on their own.
New documentary: DEA agent's death 'was partially conducted by a CIA agent'
Good post. I would add that since Moore's law is over, I think the long-term prospects for crap like electron and discord are not good. Future phones and laptops will (almost certainly) never be orders of magnitude more powerful for regular workloads, so assuming that people will want to do more and more with these devices, it seems that software that burns millions of cpu cycles and gigabytes of ram just to put some pixels on the screen and send some http packets will eventually get squeezed out of the marketplace.
Nextcloud are positioning themselves as the appropriate competition in this space, so you're right to query the source.

> The hope of democratic countries is to have ample checks and balances so that information is used appropriately

This appears to be the fundamental issue. For data stored in the US, US law protects US residents but not foreign residents. So if $service moves both your and my data to the same server in the US, yours is subject to legal checks and balances and mine is not.

So far the only way we can retain these and checks and balances is to have some say in where our data is stored. Which is a pretty crap solution, but the US doesn't appear to be willing to afford us any legal protections on data within their jurisdiction, so it's the only option left.

That is possible but the large sample size may help. The study involved roughly a half million people with around one hundred thousand supplementing with glucosamine. With that many people and these big numbers the results are rather strong.
I basically agree, with the caveat that I'd still prefer a world where our write-once-run-everywhere lowest common denominator at least required native widgets and an ability to integrate new platform-specific capabilities at the expense of writing a small amount of native code, rather than barfing up web UI/UX at users (e.g. the execrable MS Teams).
Should open-source perhaps drop NVidia, instead of the other way around?
Just the ability to do that alone would likely entail many many megabytes of code.

Just the font alone for all of those languages will be multi-mega bytes and I'll need multi-megabytes more for space to rasterize some portion of those fonts.

Then for each language I'll need multi-megabytes for handling the input methods.

Those statements clearly show your lack of awareness of what things were really like 40 years ago. They had CJK input and output(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cangjie_input_method was invented in 1976, for example) on the systems of the time, and that certainly did not entail "megabytes of code".

What it did entail, however, was a certain amount of skill, creativity, and an appreciation for efficiency and detail that lead to being able to do it with the hardware of the time, skills which are unfortunately a rarity today. Instead, we are drowning in a sea of programmers who think the simplest of tasks somehow requires orders of magnitude more resources than were available decades ago, when the reality is that there existed software at the time able to do those tasks perfectly well and at a decent speed.

The point being that we need the complexity.

The point is precisely that we don't.
Regardless of the prudence of the EU regulating the cable, the very fact that they have weighed in on the subject shows that hardware decisions are within the court's purview, and so would headphone jacks, presumably. One's opinion of said prudence is up for debate, certainly.

The Tile situation is TBD, pending Apple's release of AirTags. Will iOS user location notifications pop up as frequently in Apple's first party Find My app as it does in Tile's app? Stay tuned!

Also, the letter mentions the matter of Apple removing their previous Tile store presence (presumably in favor of AirTags), which is within their power but brings up the matter of Sherlocking. Sure, Sherlocking is legal- but is it ethical? Is it right when Facebook scouts other apps to duplicate it in their app? Is it right when Apple does the same to preexisting apps in its App Store? At the very least, these legal cases- whether you think them prudent or not- bring them before the public for examination and discussion.
I think if any of those had paid app stores with extortionate rates charged to developers, then yes - there is a pro-consumer argument to be made in favor of allowing third party applications from other sources.

Correct, IBM didn't care to make a power efficient processor and Motorola didn't see the benefit in Multimedia extension in their processor because they needed them for their network devices.

Nvidia introduced a set of laptop GPUs that had a high rate of failure. Instead of working with and eating some of the cost of repairing these laptops they told their customers to deal with it. Apple being one of their customers got upset and left holding the bag of shit and hasn't worked with them since.

Intel and AMD have used their x86/AMD64 patents to block Nvidia from entering the x86 CPU market.

Nvidia purchasing ARM will hurt not the large ARM licensees like Apple and Samsung but the ones that need to use the CPU in a device that does not need any of the Multimedia extensions that NVidia will be pushing.
Why doesn't it make it proportionally more serious?

GPT-3 is just the enabling technology, what you do with the tool is where a company differentiates itself.

The key argument the article and your comment is making is that GPT-3 is the moat. There’s so much more to a company than just a piece of tech implemented within in.

Network effect and data collection are growth loops that exist separately from the technology and can be effectively layered into a company regardless of the underlying tech.
> So a US equivalent would be to require data to be based in the US
