This is what a lot companies who do business in China have to go through.

For example, Activision-Blizzard are pretty much fully separated from The9, which is the only authorized distributor for World of Warcraft in China.

Edit: Apologies, the source I was looking at was outdated and NetEase is the current distributor for WoW in China.

> What about the chances if you build yourself? Any better?

If you have the skill to build yourself you avoid (really, reduce by some amount) the portion of the risk attached to getting people to build it (skill and counterparty and other risks) but you still have the market risk.

Where are you getting your information from if I may ask? There are literally millions of anecdata for the contrary.
I do not agree with the CCP, but I also don't like it when people present non-nuanced arguments that feel a bit like U.S. ra-ra propaganda copypasta.

> China’s communist regime

China's regime is many things but cannot really be described as communist much anymore, this is erasing a whole lot of history post Mao.

> China’s communist regime killed tens of millions of its own people within living memory.

Absolutely. That has not stopped us from treating regimes like Saudi Arabia as friends. The U.S. foreign policy establishment is hardly concerned about human rights.

Of course these are horrible, but I don't believe for a second that the TikTok ban has anything to do with human rights.
Nice work! I tried to clone the project and run with Docker with the hope of contributing but I'm getting this error message on the "Introducing the Shell" page:

> since politicians on all sides have made it clear they don't plan to let it happen.

Really?? The only "plan" I've seen is continued moratorium on evictions, which at some point just becomes stealing from landlords to give to renters (as many have pointed out, there hasn't been a corresponding moratorium on mortgage or property tax payments), which at some point guarantees there will be less people willing to rent housing. I haven't seen any widespread plan that actually addresses the problem at a broader level.

The rich shouldn't pay the same percent. 20% of my income in taxes has pretty profound changes to my life. Bezo's getting taxed at 90% means he has fewer megayachts and fewer private jets and fewer private islands. That 20% means a lot more to me than that 90% means to Bezos. That is how we should measure value.

Evolution can get "stuck" when optomizations become obligatory. One theory of "hot bloodedness" (which is not one thing, nor something that evolved once, to be clear) is large species that passively maintained some body temperature then shrinking and being forced to actively maintain it.

Is inline SVG always the fastest way to include a handful of icons?
Maybe they can work for a living. Like go on tour and perform live. Selling tickets and such. If they are any good, people will want to go see them live. Look at the Grateful Dead, they allowed people to copy their music. There are massive sites dedicated to archiving all of their music recordings and you are free to download and listen to it. Yet they made a fortune on touring and performing. Not playing the song one time and then trying to sell copies of it.
There are tons of high-yield savings accounts paying much more than 0.35%.

I agree - and I'm sick of it too. I don't think "no JS means no tracking", but it means "more likely less tracking" and "definitely a lot less bullshit 3rd party shenanigans".

I absolutely love JavaScript, have been a fan of it since before it was cool, stayed a fan after it was not cool again, and am still a fan now! But now the benefits it brings me on the web is snowed under by the shit it delivers. It's not worth it.

JavaScript is off by default everywhere for me now, and there has to be a really compelling reason to get me to whitelist a site. Most often (I'd say about 80-90% of unknown/non-regular links I click) I just close the tab and go somewhere else.

Luckily there's a lot of sites out there, and there's starting to be more services like the OP's - which I will be able to visit!
I had a great experience with Kaiser (had to drop them when rates spiked after the last election).

They made it easy to get answers without going in to the doctor. The primary care physician would just call/email specialist for you rather than sending you to another appointment (until it was necessary). It was obvious they wanted to keep their costs low but that also made a lot of things much more convenient for patients also.

I second that. Perl was my go to language, scrips, spreadsheets quick tests. Python3 does it now for me. The hardest thing to change was the one liners, but getting rid of that habit actually forced me to store more things in source instead of 500k lines shell history
Define “use sql”?

Most of the time on $client project we use a query builder, so it’s expressing the intended query as methods.

You’d have a hard time using it without understanding what operations you want - it just handles all the repetitive stuff for you.

Then there’s times when we need a query that’s too complex for what the QB methods support, so we use the custom query mode, where we can mix specific parts of a custom query with some of the stuff the QB generates.
I recommend reading "On China" which describes this concept thoroughly.

As far as I can tell, the changes being made are relatively easy to absorb. Either the right way, or by using a pragma/directive.

Nothing there looks as drastic as the big changes from python 2 to 3, for example.
You can develop something on that land. Or, go for some more real estate (maybe get some multifamily), but leave ample reserves given the climate.
I had the opposite experience a few years ago when applying for jobs for after I graduated. I stopped trying to learn about each company and stopped writing cover letters. Instead, I just wrote a 2 or 3 sentence, completely generic blurb about myself, then sent it with my resume to as many companies as I could find in the area I wanted and with the tech I wanted. Only when I heard back did I actually look in to the companies.

I think a key takeaway is that less is more. People don’t have time to read long cover letters and resumes. Keep it as short as possible but no shorter. Cut out everything that’s not your best selling points.
I haven’t done a ton of research, but I know for certain that Ally Bank and Discover Bank offer better rates than 0.35% in their savings accounts.
If you're betting on a crash soon, why not just hedge your existing positions on long dated PUT options? That's what they are for , insurance.

As far as OP is concerned, there's not much point into cashing everything if the timescale is greater than 5+ years for needing any of it. Trying to time the market is just a fools game, consistent investments in the indexes always works out in your favor long term.

Regarding interest rates, .35% is pretty poor, just off the top of my head Marcus is over 1%.

Neurologists warn of the danger of “stem cell tourism”
Yes they would, but the flip side of them not being able to price people based on actual driving behavior is by charging all men higher, all single people higher vs married people, and poor people higher based on credit score.

Plus why single out insurance companies and ban them from creepily tracking you wherever you go and not all the other companies who do that with your cell phone.

Also to be pedantic, the don't want to put trackers in the car, that is expensive. They want to use your cell phone like all the other apps tracking you, or they want the car manufactures to let them in on their data since most modern cars have the ability to track and broadcast location.

>made a claim where I was at fault.

That's a big caveat. There are plenty of accidents that are truly not one parties fault, but according to law even being judged as 49% at fault is still "not at fault". And even in cases of 0% at fault as determine by the insurance adjusters, theres a big chance one still had contributing factors.

Also, there's a big chance not at fault claims will be taken into account when pricing you and raise your prices. Just right??

On the other hand, not at fault accidents do correlated with higher risk, and it's easy to see why. For example, people who get rear ended are not at fault. But following the car ahead too closely leads to needing to brake harder, increasing the chance of being rear ended. Following too closely also increases the chance of rear ending the vehicle in front.
Wouldn't this result in different amounts of water depending on the dimensions of the pot?
Not knowing what you're thinking about makes it hard to answer that question but I'd be happy to give it a try!

So he's going to build a big, beautiful firewall --- and let me guess, China is going to pay for it?

Maybe the reason Trump hates China so much is envy.
I've never heard anyone defend the current status quo as acceptable, but the problem I see is that it's a profoundly byzantine system wherein every participant has many other people to point at and blame, while outsiders have extreme difficulty even figuring out where to start to untangle the mess.

Case in point, one of my cousins works in Pharma. He has no end of stories of hospital administrators doing wasteful things, and insurance companies screwing doctors and suppliers, of doctors running rackets, and of course (his opinion) that huge numbers of Americans get medical treatment and then disappear, never paying their bills, and so the whole system is designed to extract 2-3x from the people who _do_ pay in order to cover the ones who don't.

Meanwhile, this same person (at a different time) will tell you with a little twinkle in his eye what a good business it is selling pulse oximeters. Again in his words (so I don't know if he is exaggerating or if this is accurate)... His company has exclusive deals with a bunch of hospitals where they are the only supplier. They make the little plastic devices in bulk for pennies apiece, then they charge several dollars for each one. But then, most "cleverly" the company worked the product through FDA such that it is only authorized for "single use." So while in real life the device could easily be sanitized and reused many many times, instead every hospital needs a constant supply of these which they use once and dispose, resulting in a constant trickle of small purchases that add up to a huge business. He says this from the living room of his huge, very nice house, and gestures around as if to say "and that's what pays for all this."

In short, I think the industry is dominated by people who are there to make money and _are_ making a lot of money, and they don't want that to change. Ie. pretty much normal humans just as deplorable as the rest of us.

Thus I don't see the harms they are inflicting on society being fixed until the remainder of society organizes and says no, shutting down the racket.

But unlike most industries, screwing up the medical system has life and death consequences, so to date when the rest of us get angry and propose a dramatic change that should help, we are easily cowed by the doctors/nurses/pharmacists/etc. who scream "it can't work, people will die!"

Thus I am very, very pessimistic that a democratic society is capable of fixing this kind of deep corruption. If it is ever fixed, I suspect it will only be when the system collapses under its own weight.
Effective Altruism Is Suboptimal
Any mention of Bitcoin or cryptocurrency investing should be banned on HN.
Sometimes broad problems demand broad statements. We could get into the specifics of the two-party duopoly and the legacy of kowtowing to healthcare and health insurance industries, but the examples are far too numerous and stretch back far too long.

I will provide two examples, one from each party, so as to be less divisive:

Affordable Care Act: Democrats controlled the house, senate, and presidency. They could've passed any bill they wanted. Instead of medicare for all or similar, they passed a bill that required everyone to purchase a 3rd party product called insurance. The overhead and profits of the insurance industry add to the cost of actual healthcare.

National Health Planning and Resources Development Act: Nixon signed this in 1974. It mandates that anyone trying to build a healthcare facility apply for and receive a Certificate of Need. This creates local monopolies for existing healthcare facilities by eliminating new competition. It's a blatant form of protectionism.

You're not contradicting me It's not that we don't have the technology to do proper localisation, it's that the tech industry is oblivious to the needs of non-English speakers and in particular multilingual users. There is this assumption that 1 person = 1 language which is just wrong in many parts of the world.
Very good point. I do wonder how many buyers are aware of this though?
I'm sure that as this is developed it will get easier, but looking over the docs at the various ways to use these makes, for example, Font Awesome look like a walk in the park. The font based icon solutions using just CSS classes is fantastic not to mention it respects font sizing, colors, etc. The SVG Font Awesome components for the various front end frameworks are typically a breeze to drop in and start using as well. As it stands, going strictly off the docs regarding usage, this looks like more of a chore to use and fit in with text flow and styling.

China / Hong Kong issue arrest warrant for US citizen
I really hate the people talk about 'collecting' IP addresses or getting their "IP address exposed". There is no risk in anyone knowing this, not to privacy, not to security. This is how the internet is meant to work. A bunch of equal nodes.

Just because mega-corps and wireless telcos have gimped the wildly popular mobile computers and taken away their ability to interact (no ipv4, no ports, not much beyond web) doesn't mean interacting directly is bad or unsafe or giving away some 'secret' information.

No, we need more people directly interacting with other people via the internet protocol. We desparately need widespread ipv6 adoption so that everyone can have their own IPs and expose them all to each other in the emergent network we call the 'net.

This 'IP as privacy risk' is scaremongering and very unhealthy.

That's one onesided way to interpret the war in Ukraine. There are others. Even if it was the right one, the US is in no position to talk about illegitimate wars. The US has it's own shitshow going on in the Middle East (where it has no border and really no business being whatsoever), so maybe it should fix that first, before bothering Germany about where and with whom it wants to build pipes.

The US is no position to police other countries - especially not European ones, who are not even part of one - about illegitimate wars.

Regarding the empire I don't know what you are talking about. If the US sanctions Germany, Germany is economically perfectly capable of creating countermeasures. I say we should do so, because I cannot stand this arrogance. If the US starts trade wars with everyone, it hurts itself the most.
Yeah it helped me. I don’t think it really helped me get a job. I think my CV and past experience was taken far more into account than any certifications I listed. However, it helped me to become familiar with some of the aspects of AWS that I didn’t use in my day to day job and also to solidify my understanding of some other areas. I don’t regret studying and passing it especially as it didn’t cost much.
> China’s communist regime

Fascist more than communist: it's military-heavy, nationalist, authoritarian and corporatist but with notionally private enterprise rather than simply overt government industries, all of which are typical of fascism (a few overlap with features of Leninst-style Communism, but neither nationalism nor, particularly, private-but-corporatist industry fit that model.)

It's not particularly aggressively expansionist, so it's not quite classic Fascism.

How critical is the "scripting" aspect for you? For throwaway things where compatibility doesn't matter, I'll still use Python for quick prototypes. For almost anything else, Rust or Go or C have pretty strong cultures of backwards-compatibility.
Sorry, I don't buy that. In 1970, I was writing multi-tasking assembler language code to real-time data collection of medical EKG data, feeding what we today would call an expert system or even AI to generate an English language cardiology report and sending it back to the hospital, first via paper tape carried over to ASR 33s, laater by dialout (where each character generated an interrupt). We gave ten minute turnaround.

I cringe today when programmers struggle with async processes in C or other languages, or async/await. We (Michael Whinihan and I) developed a dead-simple pattern using co-routines that vastly simplified interrupt driven programming. It is as if folks these days haven't read https://www.amazon.com/Operating-Principles-Prentice-Hall-Au...

I did a significant fraction of the work to build this, I wasn't the smartest guy in the outfit either. (Probably the most smart-aleck.) Check out one of the team members: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_nim.

None of us were experts when we started this. We figured all the parts out and made it work, reliably. We had on the order of a small integer numbers of hours of outages per year. This was before Tandem Computers was born.

Now serving the medical community puts some pretty stringent requirements on what you build and how you operate it.

Yes, I see I needed to look for the 81 version numbers. I have now installed those packages (and confirmed I have the older grubx64.efi in /boot/efi/EFI/). However it is still giving the same error on reboot.

As a founder you are "the last resort" of the project. You will find yourself in this scenario many times and it's better to not depend on anyone.

So glad you said this. Applies to other kinds of ventures, not just software.

I learned this lesson the hard way in my first venture. Co-founder flaked, left me swinging in the wind.

Vowed to start something new on my own as a solo founder where I could at least prototype and iterate early versions AND revenue was coming in the door from the beginning. This enabled me to hand off things that tested well to contractors and grow that way. Goes against YC "you must have a co-founder" dogma but it works.
