Dunno, but US govt is leaning on them in public and probably behind the scenes to encourage a ban. Pompeo called out an unnamed ally for not joining the US ban of Huawei in a recent speech. The protectionism isn’t purely monetary but also about retaining indirect control over communication platforms and infrastructure.
It’s not an either or, you’re making up an extreme purity test that just isn’t there.
It’s not that the government couldn’t roll out testing they don’t want to test.
The versioning scheme is not the issue here.

The issue is that there can only be one copy of certain kinds of libraries, and when there's a major version bump, it creates a fork in the ecosystem.
iOS is full of holes. How can Apple in good faith say it is "secure by design?" (See https://www.apple.com/business/docs/site/AAW_Platform_Securi... )
I would love to see a study to back that up. I just don't think that in aggregate at the population level misdiagnoses would go down if people did it themselves. This study of online tools wasn't glowing [1].

"In comparison, other studies have found that Internet search engines for urgent symptoms led to content that suggested emergency medical treatment only 64 percent of the time." [1] It also found tooling less effective the less immediate the need for care was. "Overall, the software algorithms that the researchers studied listed the correct diagnosis first in 34 percent of cases." [1]

Clicking through the Verge links it sounds like Peloton had a patent that Flywheel infringed on.

Charge people not in your contact list 10 cents to message you. 5 cents goes to you and 5 cents to the carrier. Problem solved. I would love this for messages and phone calls (and emails while we are at it).
Again, in context, what I said was that there's a big difference between first aid and supplementation and a diagnostics and treatment. Nobody is arguing people don't take supplements and that probably technically counts as medicine, however it's clear in context that's not the kind of medicine I was referring to. Also, people are by and large bad at it, and shouldn't.
Poetry is by far the best way to start a Python project. Way easier than using pip, pipenv, virtualenv, venv, pyenv, conda, miniconda.

I very much like the subcommand paradigm git implements:

mycmd <global args> subcommand <subcommand specific args>

However, I haven't found a C++ library that implements this properly with an easy-to-use API (and what I mean by easy to use is: specifying the structure of cmd line options should be easy and natural, and retrieving options specified by the user should be easy, and the "synopsis" part of the man page should be auto-generated).

If anyone knows of one, would love to hear about it.
Take home projects seem to only replace a phone screen as far as I can tell. I’ve never seen a company in the Bay Area completely replace an on-site interview with a take home.
Depends on the project. Mostly for debugging issues. It’s always useful to know.
They can still grow by about 10x (at least I'd say). Wait until they focus or reach other demographics.
Open apis pretty much ruin honest competition, leaderboards, live races, etc. People already game metrics on their pelotons to get top 10 in races, and I don’t think companies want to deal with that on a larger scale.

It’s a great idea, but I don’t think it’s always the right idea.
> We usually deploy on Windows for on-prem services, and on Linux for cloud services.

Which makes a lot of sense. AWS Windows machines cost ~50% more compared to Linux boxes. I was quite surprised at Windows pricing actually; that made it an easy decision to make given that .Net core has been stable on Linux for a while now.
From my point of view, as someone who is invested into an all-world blend like VT or VFFVX, it has been 2.5 years somewhat flat, and we still seem to be at a peak.

I cannot really gauge risk in a systematic like you'd like to.

I'm generally pessimistic, because GDP growth is low, central banks have rates in a choke hold promoting misuse of capital. (In theory many existing companies shouldn't exist. Many are unprofitable, but they get by on cheap loans. Thereby taking away resources/people from potential/future profitable businesses). The ECB couldn't even raise rates in a supposedly economic growth period.
The Fed did in 2019 while reducing the balance sheet, and it ended in a correction and lower rates and a restart of QE.
Low rates also put a lot of pressure on banks and local banks.
Economies and the world are increasingly financialized. The financial market adds little value to the real world aside from "productive" (think GDP-increasing / not consuming) lending.
Consumer loans are awful. Buying your first house/land on a loan is good, though.
Interest payments reduce economic output in the present.
Individuals spend income of the future now, and depress future spending.
E.g. interest payment of the U.S. are ~300bil/year right now ~10% of the budget.
And for many economies and governments there is no end in sight.
Ultimately this can only be solved by reducing spending (which doesn't seem likely for many governments), inflating it away, keeping rates at 0% forever effectively spending printed money, i.e. inflating it away.
Also central banks can buy assets in the open market at face value to lower yields and swallow the coming defaults (which again means inflating it away, and also sending the clear signal that everyone will be bailout, perhaps again in the future).
One aspect of this dynamic is currency demand through e.g. being an important world currency or having export surplus. Some countries can print money better than others.

When I say "inflate" I don't only mean according to CPI. If all the money goes into assets like equities or real estate, it is inflating that.

The stock market feels like a ponzi scheme more than anything.

I'm simplyfing here.
Some countries are better than others.
Perhaps a valid investment strategy would be to invest into indexes of good countries.

That felt a lot like rambling, but I hope you get some value from it.
I'm interested in your thoughts.
I suppose the only reason why you wouldn't want to have a centralized description of the command line grammar is if you're using flags which alter the set of acceptable flags. Like e.g. if you put all git subcommands into one single executable - the combinations and meanings of commandline flags would become absurdly complicated.

I mean, each time you distribute the software you are bound to the license terms for that version, so if you use the same license through time, you have to give that much history.

Beyond that, it clearly becomes very murky, especially when it comes to git. Is squashing some commits suddenly against the license? Do I have to commit every time I type a character? There is no obvious smallest unit except "the commit the developer decides on", which could then be everything since the last release, resulting in the status quo.

I guess there could be a license where if you changed to that license, it required the history, but it would seem a bit pointless, as inherently at that point the person choosing the license could just choose a different one.
If you download a package that supports go mod and try to build it, it'll automatically try to fetch dependencies through proxy.golang.org

You can override the proxy, and there are open source implementations of the module datastore[1], but it's not made clear front and centre to the end user that building software will call a Google owned service.

It was a source of contention for some when the default toolchain moved in this direction.[2]

You actually need to see where people live, hdbs to see schools, playgrounds and such. The low fertility rate is common amongst developed countries. On the other hand, the government has explicit policies to encourage marrying, like not offering hdbs to single people under 35. You certainly won't see families if you don't leave the downtown area.

Good point. Plus, of course, NVMe.

Maybe I should review AMD's GPU offerings again. Do you happen to know anything about this? Last time I was looking for (fanless + dirt cheap + dual display), and couldn't find anything that fit all 3. However... I didn't ask the question, does the fan run all the time, or only under heavy load?

Also, with lots of games reportedly working on Linux these days, maybe I should replace "dirt cheap" with "reasonably cheap."
Under Ubuntu, you don't have a choice any more.

Some packages that used to be found under APT, in older versions of Ubuntu, are now only available via Snap.
> Actually due to competition, if it correlates to risk, all companies will literally be forced to use the magic numbers or go into an adverse selection death spiral.

To expand on this: adverse selection is where a consumer has hidden information about the cost they can inflict on a provider. Usually this is talked about in terms of insurance (especially health insurance), but risk is risk and so the principles are the same.

My recollection of what economists predict is that there are two stable equilibria that achieve Pareto efficiency. The first is that discrimination (in the general yes/no sense) is completely forbidden and risks are totally pooled. The second is that complete discrimination is possible without limitation.

The worst outcomes are all found in attempted compromises. Not only do you have the costs of whatever tradeoff you chose between pooling and discrimination being less efficient than the Pareto points, but you also introduce a great deal of dead weight due to complex regulation and oversight, plus efforts made to evade regulation and oversight. Collectively we are worse off, even if individuals think otherwise.

I don't think allowing total discrimination is a viable option in this day and age. Which means banning it wholesale and encouraging the formation of universal risk pools.
Closed systems are unhackable or cheat proof?

Wow, had no idea of the magnitude of this aspect of American life. (I live in San Francisco since 2012).
I would wager the motive is less about control, and more about about shared values / identity / mutual understanding.

At a glance it looks a bit too simple. I didn't look to far into it, but it seems to be missing short options, prompting for options and using environment variables for options. As it's built on click, I'd guess you can call into click to do those, but at that point I don't see a major benefit typer is providing.
The second syntax when you want to ask a program to pass an argument to another program. Having to pass 2 arguments is a lot more annoying since you'd often then have to prefix each one.
> If you want income from your equity portfolio, just periodically sell shares.

how much continuous growth do you expect the market will have exactly?
I also like the grandparent post, but I'll take a crack at presenting an opposing side. The idea of a lopsided trading relationship, with the US being the losers, and China the winners, seems a bit dubious to me. Chinese companies work because they have cheap labour, a lot of talent, and massive economies of scale. Blaming the demise of US industry on China is absurd - US industry started declining in the 80's, because neo-liberal economics basically amounts to industrial sabotage on the policy level. Every country that went hard neoliberal has very little industry today, while the few that didn't (Germany, France, Japan) still have very competitive industry.

The idea of unfair trade is also a bit of a mercantilist trope, so I'm not sure it makes sense on its own terms - but at the very least, it's normally something that requires an unequal relationship between trading partners. Like, I think it would be fair to say that trade deals between first and third world nations are often unfair, because there are ample opportunities for one party to lean on the other. This obviously isn't so between the US and China. If there are conditions that favour Chinese companies, it's because of policies that were, at the time, thought to benefit the US - and which probably do benefit the US, at least insofar as GDP growth is concerned (the US has remained pretty good in this arena).

Trump's whole schtick of 'bring back coal' comes to mind here. Obviously, you could hammer out a trade agreement that would end up with coal mines reopening in Wyoming, with steelworks in Pittsburgh - but would it actually help the US?

As for the whole question of whether or not China is 'playing dirty', or muscling their way through established norms, I think it's obviously not the case - or at least, it's by no means the case that China plays more dirty than anybody else - least of all the US.

I think the politics of China do deserve a great deal of scrutiny, and if there's something that the west should be putting pressure on them for, it's the slide into totalitarianism we've witnessed over the last few years. However, all the stuff about trade seems two parts grandstanding and one part hypocrisy.
> I held on to a number of victim-oriented views, such as: people probably don't like me; other men are threats; I can't be friends with men. That's the bullshit. This painful series of events happened to me when I was young, but I took lessons about how children treated me and overgeneralized from them.

None of that is "victim oriented". It seems to me that you are seriously invested into making the word "victim" into something bad.

The mindset you describe is "victim mindset" only because you want that word to mean something bad. You do project everything bad you possibly can into it. I mean, yeah, fear and over-correction are all withing range of normal initial reactions to disempowering situation. Just like they are perfectly normal reaction to getting into car crash.

Then again, other people do get themselves into same situations again and again because they just cant admit to themselves that they are victims in those situations. Which is less likely to happen with car crash.

But only in one case people do work hard to stigmatize the descriptor word. When you are afraid of cars after car crash, people do generally recommend you therapy, but they wont be like "victim mindset you are bad one it is all supposed to be always under your control".

I would personally find that super convenient as well, but I was surprised to learn that the accessibility story in Linux for blind users was actually in quite a bad state. I thought that text based interfaces should be great for accessibility, but it really is all about screen readers and they apparently don’t work very well under Linux. There seems to be a network effect where windows screen readers get the most attention and so the community has somewhat standardized on that.

That's an option, the NWS is the United States is good and I suspect other countries have similar organizations.
Of course TikTok won’t be growing at the same rate in 10 years time. That doesn’t mean it won’t still be a huge platform, however.

In fact, I’d wager that, it TikTok plays their cards right, the platform could be bigger than YouTube within five years or so. I know it sounds crazy now, but there is nothing that dictates that YouTube’s model is the best for delivering democratized video publishing to the masses.

I find that a lot of these Gen Z kids don’t have the patience to sit thru a five or 10 minute YouTube video (and I can’t really blame them; how much time have you wasted watching YouTube videos that ended up being clickbait garbage?). They’d rather have the information condensed down into a 90 second video, and TikTok is perfectly designed to serve those viewing habits.

I know the popular perception of TikTok (from those that don’t use it) is that it just hosts trendy dance videos, but TikTok creators are publishing essentially all the same genres of content we see on YouTube. You can find everything from dance videos to home improvement tutorials on the service. Furthermore, more and more YouTube creators are moving over to TikTok. I view the service as the single biggest threat we’ve seen to YouTube since it’s rise to popularity.

I suspect TikToks next big move will be into YouTube’s bread and butter: official music videos. Their user interaction model lends itself extremely well into music discovery.

Also, most fundamentally, there’s only 24 hours in a day. Every hour spent on TikTok is one hour not spent on YouTube or a competing service.

I agree that Peloton had a patent. My argument isn't a legal one (clearly, legally speaking, Peloton was in the right). I just think it sucks.
About the 40k bills, I would suggest not paying them immediately and talking to your insurance company regularly (yes, it's exhausting and a PITA). Because of their slower systems, they're probably doing billing calculations on a monthly cycle so if you got multiple bills within a time period, their systems haven't realized that you've hit your out of pocket max (in engineering terms you've got multiple concurrent processes running, but they're all using a cached version of your total billed). Also most billing departments take 60-90 days to bill you so your providers are optimized for billing quickly.

Also, if you call in about your bill you can usually get discounts for paying promptly or at least get put on a payment plan.
A jump table isn't likely used for very small unions anyways. The biggest downside that I see is that comparing with zero is slightly cheaper if that is a common value.
> I attribute it to collaborative and cohesive directing of energy.

Acknowledged.

> You might not be able to see the longer format IGTV stories that people spend a lot of time consuming.

So, propaganda? I mean, having been an activist I'm aware of its utility, so this may be a missing component at making people listen through emotive means of story-telling otherwise lost in print media alone.

> That system is being used productively right now.

That is possible, I'm asking how.

> The web of the social graph showing people in the profession of law enforcement what the people are thinking, the focus on the District Attorney's and the Mayor and Governors instead of just an individual officer has absolutely caused change. Police are getting fired for less egregious actions over the last two months. The legislatures in several states have implemented comprehensive reforms. Things that were always at their discretion.

This provides context, but I think you ultimately come to the conclusion I have on your own with this following statement:

> Do you want to quantify it? It's not possible, you have to be on the network.

> But just consider, what if I'm telling you about something important?

I have no doubt it's important, I've been a victim of police abuse due to my a-politcal nature and what that entails when trying to bring about alternatives that don't require State approval, or when I went to demos only to be forced into the broken Court system that essentially shrugs its shoulders at the spread amount of Civil Rights Abuse, as serves as the only avenue for legal redress from violence at the hand of the State.

I just fear that what we're seeing has become a form of vicariously-felt, but dopamine addicting, voyeuristic practice and calling it 'activism,' wherein people feel they're involved in the process instead of actually making the effort to make full use of this time where Change can actually can occur in their Community. Worst yet, somehow they're being lauded for essentially trying to prove a negative. Furthermore, FB/IG can take solace in knowing their platform is the more desirable to use, and ints increasing its Marketshare, which they can then leverage for its own end.

I guess I'm jaded from all of the cancel culture and the toxic tribalism and shaming that was typical prior to these 'last two months,' but I remain cautiously optimistic that something positive does occur from what you said is occurring. It's just that right now, I'm not simply convinced.
Not sure I follow your argument, if people are already cheating how would an open API be any different/worse?
Quick comment, not an expert, but environ vars keep their state after the program is called. From a functional programming perspective, or just for my own sanity, wouldn’t it be more interesting to keep the states into minimum?
No they didn't, both Facebook and Google decided to quit themselves. Remember Dragonfly? Google just tried to get back into China THIS YEAR and was blocked by the US government. It's the US that's closing access to China not the other way around.
The S&P committee can ask Tesla to issue shares to be sold directly to large funds so that the price doesn't move too much. This could be an opportunity for Tesla to raise 10 to 20B, which wouldn't be such a bad move, as it would allow them to erase all their debt and build more gigafactories or make acquisitions. So there is no guarantee that the stock price will go up even if Tesla gets included.
Facebook is the least essential of all the companies. Most people know FB is creepy, if they willingly choose to use it, should they government prevent them?

The weather app has no special significance on iOS. You can delete it. Choose another weather app. Put it in the Notification Center. Add a Siri shortcut for it.
