Sure. The new new part here is that the US has come around to the chinese point of view, to some extent... and for much of the same reasons.

Deng Xiaping's famous line during the chinese market reform era was "If you open the window, both fresh air and flies will be blown in."

The "fresh air" was a market economy, trade with western economies, even cultural liberalisation... as long as they weren't dangerous to the regime. They were still dubious of ideological capitalism, at its height in the 80s & 90s... but willing to compromise. They weren't willing to compromise on free press, speech, association, etc.. Those are the flies. They were not about to let them in.

The ccp felt entirely vindicated when the USSR collapsed, and doubly so by the 90s, when China's economy was obviously booming. Communist economics could be binned while maintaining chinese communism in all other realms. Liberal ideologists were wrong.

Anyway... by the time the www got big, this new version of chinese communism was mature, successful and confident. Google, wikipedia, later facebook... these are politically potent, and dangerous. The internet would influence political opinions. It would be exploited by foreign intelligence. It would harbour dissent, and dissent would grow into revolt... the ccp had no control of it. Besides politics, there were other issues. Economics, of course. Why not reserve these markets for chinese companies? Information security, espionage and other intelligence adjacent issues.

The ccp were correct on all points and the last decades proved it. The arab spring. Many elections worldwide, notably the 2016 US presidential. Prism. Flat earthers. $trn market caps. The ticktok backlash. All proof that Deng was right. Political potency. Intelligence potency. Economic potency. All too potent to stay hands off.

Back to the US... The US has basically come around to all these positions. Regardless of why Zuck is called to testify in congress, congressmen are most interested in political potency. Are you favouring my opponent's party more than mine? Is foreign intelligence operating on your platform?

US intelligence treats domestic internet companies as an asset, and foreign ones as adversaries. There isn't even much veneer anymore.

The economics also play, of course. It gets danced around for narrative/ideological reasons... but it's foolish to think the US would be neutral about Amazon's success vis a vis Alibaba.

In essence, the Dengist position has been adopted in the US. The internet americans access must be american controlled. Political reasons first. Intelligence reasons second. Economic reasons quitely.

I feel like the underlying third variable in this whole thread rests in the question, "Have you or your company ever accepted or considered Chinese investment?"

I would absolutely love to know how many of these folks saying "We need to uphold Western open values and not reciprocally punish" have business entanglements with Chinese funds.

It probably helps that quick tech / CSS tips sort of fit inside the world of a tweet, but nothing else does.

I don’t use twitter, and it seems to me that other OSS programmers who actively use twitter are much better connected than I am. They tweet a new project they’re working on and suddenly it has people trying it out. I don’t begrudge that at all. They’ve put a lot of time into building their reputations. I just wish I could find a way to enjoy twitter so I can get in on that.

I think China already promised that one or two years ago during the trade war with US but nothing major has come of it. I doubt China would follow through because it can have potential consequence in their censorships rules.

I guess eventually all other countries would resort to having laws specific to handling Chinese companies and all laws common for companies of all other countries.
Yes. Once US starts playing China’s game, China has won.

Oh my gosh thank you for pointing this out. I love that search bar and use it to find/activate things in programs pretty frequently that might not have a keybind or ability to create a keybind. The fact that I can now access that via a keybind that allows me to find it is phenomenal and I'm somewhat embarrassed to have been using a Mac for so many years loving keyboard shortcuts and not know about this one. I should honestly just read the entire linked article and make some notes about important ones.

You can't verify. Even if you could, you can't ensure that the code will be replaced the moment you turn around.

I investigated this thoroughly a few years ago, and the solution I came to is distributed computing. Join a peer-to-peer network an run the code directly on your own hardware or depend on someone that you actually trust. As far as I can tell there are no shortcuts that allow you to trust strangers with sensitive data.

There's an "enable dragging" option in the Accessibility settings, which lets you double tap on an object to start a drag without needing to use the physical button. You can choose whether the drag ends when you pick up your finger, or if it continues until canceled with a tap. You can also set it to start a drag with a three finger gesture instead of a double tap with one finger.

Interesting theory re Arizona meaning Taiwan loses its advantage. Although no one can ascribe too much (or really any) foresight to the current US admin, I have to imagine there's a domino theory w.r.t. to Taiwan and the SCS region. Ceding China's control (military, economic, or otherwise) of Taiwan would panic every other independent nation in the region into striking a good deal with China to hopefully maintain their autonomy.

Ugh. The West has had the tail wagging the dog for so long. Arrogant transnational corporations and the rich think they can control China like everything else. It's the same arrogance on display with coronavirus: they play by very different rules and don't care who you are.
Ugh, welcome to my life.

This is a shell for people who either don't know Unix or don't like Unix. The normal Unix tools do all these things, often with less typing, and they're a lot more flexible and transferrable to other environments.

I get that many Unix commands are obscure, and the syntax is often inconsistent, but once you're familiar with them, you can do everything this shell does and a whole lot more. And for anything more complex you've got a million other languages to choose from.
+1 to this, China has never made anything real themselves. It is all stolen property from countries who actually play fair.

Until the general U.S population realizes that china's end goal is to eat them alive and unanimously supports putting china in its place, nothing will change and by then I fear it will be to late.

That'll probably happen in the long term. In the short term, China might answer by completely banning US companies from the Chinese market.

I don't see anything to win here. Probably every large company, including those from the US, have some kind of production facilities, storage or supplies in China. China applying similar restrictions would probably be a worse hit for the US than the current situation is for China.

The issue isn't really single stage to orbit but rather single stage to vacuum. Every first stage rocket starts at sea level but ends flight in essentially vacuum pressure (over 30km). So there might one day be a role for aerospikes on stages that don't continue all the way to orbit.
I think the more charitable and accurate read on this situation is that the GOP has campaigned for years against government spending and making massive cuts to the budget.

Now they’re faced with a situation that can’t be solved without spending tons of money, which is a massive challenge to them politically and a big gamble given that we’re in an election year. The last thing they want to do right now is look like hypocrites to their base.

US military presence is sort of a paradox for Taiwan. It both protects Taiwan, as well threatens it, in the sense that China feels threatened by the US military and thus is incentivized to militarize out of self-defense.

Taiwan's geography makes it a natural fortress, and even Taiwan's own military can defend the island pretty well entirely on its own. A mainland invasion will be very, very expensive, so it won't happen that easily.

Economically, Taiwan is in decline. China basically doesn't need Taiwan for economic reasons. So the only reason to invade Taiwan, would be to appeal to the nationalist sentiment of reunification. But the chances of that happening is less than what many think, both because of the military cost, and because the CCP are actually moderates; there are many Chinese people who are far more radical, and if it's up to them then they would have launched an invasion a decade ago.

This probably sounds unbelievable, or even propagandistic, to many people here on HN. You don't have to take my word for it. See Kishore Mahbubani, ex-Singapore diplomat & ex-head of UN Security Council, who wrote a book on China.

Might is right, in many short-term scenarios.

We don't have to agree that "kidnapping and imprisonment is good", to conclude that some people need arresting and imprisonment.

China is intentionally playing the rules duplicitously, and so the West is going to have to play hardball.

The opening up to China was based on the belief that we would treat each other as equals.

That has not happened and Xi has made clear that will not happen.
Exactly, that is the whole strategy.
Amen. I don't even really understand why most of the commentary surrounding this potential acquisition refers to TikTok as a social network.

TikTok is much closer to a video playback/sharing platform (somewhere between YouTube and Vine) than a social communication platform. Direct messaging isn't even enabled by default, and even in direct messaging you're very limited in what you can send. You can't even send images unless they're already in the TikTok universe.

It just doesn't seem to be any more of a social network than YouTube is. I can perhaps see some possible value in Microsoft acquiring a fulsome social network of some kind, but a faddish YouTube-like platform? It's baffling.
That was always the outcome. It's the road China has been traveling down intentionally. Before the ability to use it against China runs out, the US is using it while they have it to use. China does it everywhere they compete out of a sense of hyper nationalism, necessity to become a superpower and independence (the ability to pursue its national objectives without concerns for sanctions or outside opinion). Russia would love to have the competence to do the same thing (so far all Russia has managed, mostly, is de-dollarization; China can't de-dollarize at this stage due to its exports and tight link with the global economy). China has known for two decades or more what they had to do. Mostly the only difference will be China will pull forward their plans, if and where they can.

What is being proposed here is to treat China, and Chinese companies, the exact same way as American companies are treated in China. So, yes, countries are free to have whatever restrictions they want. But we, the western world, must not allow China to abuse our open markets while shielding their markets.

150k a year is nearly 3x the median household income. I'm sorry, but I don't regard this as someone who "scrimps and saves to make a living". Yes, they are not part of the 0.01%, but that level of income puts them in the top 15% or so, and talking about such landlords as if they are representative of an average person is misleading. They are not wealthy mega corporations, that is true. But they are people in vastly more fortunate positions that the vast majority of the population, and although there's no reason to be punitive towards them, I don't find their situation incredibly demanding of sympathy.

Option-Command-Space brings up a Finder window from anywhere I believe, but defaults it to search mode, so you may have to chain the shortcut for a particular directory or Go to Folder after that.

I'm guessing the Activity Monitor thing is more that there is not a dedicated shortcut for launching any single app in macOS (that I can think of).

I don't know the state of Windows terminal emulators, but it seems strange to describe the problem without mentioning the term for the solution, which is 'bracketed paste'.

I feel you. There a tons of bands (and other works such as books) that aren't and likely won't ever be accessible. This grinds my gears when I read comments about how the Internet/Piracy has everything. It has everything that is mainstream enough and even then the ephemeral nature of some technology used to share it (torrent, emule, etc.) don't necessarily mean it's available years later. In the sense that torrent networks aren't for storage but for sharing.

It's an error to believe piracy makes everything available.

The user eperience reported in these tests is that it's substantially more nerve wracking than just ordinary driving.

And now we are getting to the analog of the 'uncanny valley' for automobile self-driving systems -- the area where the assistance is pretty good, but will still kill you, thus making driving actually harder vs unassisted driving.

With these systems, it is harder to maintain required levels of vigilance (humans just aren't wired for low-demand/high-vigilance in any type of task), and instantly take over control successfully in critical situations.

The problems of detecting objects partly in the road and reacting appropriately is hard. Not only the detection failures, but false positives. I see this a lot in my Mazda CX-5; a car can be well out of lane on the outside of a curve or side street, but I'll get the flashing & squawking BRAKE!!! alarm - if this actually did automatic braking, I'd very likely get rear-ended for hard braking in ordinary traffic for no good reason.

I'm hoping the mfgrs can get it sorted before it causes general public rejection and a "Self-Driving Winter" like the AI Winters.

It can take years to learn everything that macOS secretly offers, but no more than it took me to be at that level on Windows, or any Linux DE.
