Look up Fujian Jinhua plant 2018. Truth is US has been sanctioning and using CFIUS to undermine Chinese IC for a while now. Many blocked acquisitions under Obama. Relationship was just less acrimonious and less public. I suspect even Nvidia's ARM ambitions is part of plan to undermine Chinese IC efforts. Like how William Barr floated idea to get CISCO to buy controlling share in SE or Nokia to rival Huawei 5G.

That said, TSMC is too successful for it's own good. Once their Arizona plant opens on US tax dime, Taiwan will loose security guarantor. I suspect they'll delay for as long as they can. SMIC is basically sufficient to make IC for Chinese military use in any case. The main, and huge problem, is being commercially competitive.

Well for one, giving TSMC the ultimatum that either they stop doing business with Huawei, or stop doing business with the entirety of the US. This happened just a few months ago.

And here I thought US would like to recognize Taiwan as an independent country. But then it goes ahead and tells a Taiwanese company that they can't make their own decisions on who to do business with?

I think your argument here amounts to a form of internalized oppression and a bunch of unintentional sophistry that tries to legitimize it. Considering the history of computer science as a consequence of the Enlightenment, it is quite ironic how working programmers have had to become.
I dont think I am, and reading thought the that story reinforced my statement "There is also a over riding belief that criminality is 100% related to systemic racism and poverty " as most of the commentary is about defunding the police and replacing that with some kind of social programs (aka socialism) under the belief that the reason people commit crime is solely do to economic hardship

There belief is if we give people free stuff they will stop harming people. I disagree with this position

We can eliminate militarization of police and decriminalize society with out adopting socialism

I am 100% pro-capitalism and libertarian solutions to the problem, the "Abolish Police" movement seems to be just a reformation of democratic socialism under a new banner
It's mostly terrible messaging. Defund and Abolish are both absolute terms (i.e., people try to defund planned parenthood, and we abolished slavery) but, for the most part, what's being asked for is just to scale back the police and their funding.

What's to stop Chinese agents doing what the NSA does to spy on Americans?

I think it would be better to just let china spy on the 12 year olds that use tictok and encourage Americans to use strong encryption / security by default.

Following the Chinese lead of censorship just encourages them to hack American companies like the Americans do.
Not sure if this could have been more perfectly executed to discredit the idea of abolishing/defunding the police, which in my understanding has always been proposed as a structured, intentional shift away from heavily militarized policing toward a system of robust social services. I've seen others use the language of divest/invest to make clear that it's a shift in resources. Reading a little bit of abolitionist literature (because this stems out of a much larger, ongoing conversation about the prison industrial complex), it seems even full abolitionists see it as a process that involves building new systems and drastically shifting the American mindset around punitive retribution.

Instead, you have a situation where the police to abandon a precinct all at once and not long after, far-right groups start showing up at night to stoke violence. Hard not to read that as intentional.

Why are you OK with that. Why is division between groups of people a good thing for you, is it that you want oligarchic rule to beat one-party dictatorial rule? Or you hate the Chinese fifth of the World population?

Methane Cloud Sitting over U.S. Southwest Threatens Indigenous Residents
As a counterpoint, at least on a Mac, when I’m using the keyboard I can keep my hands near the home row. I can fire up a text editor or IDE and write a bunch of code without moving my hands too much.

On Windows, I am constantly moving my right hand over to the INS/DEL/HOME/END/PGUP/PGDN block, because those keys are essential for really simple tasks like moving the cursor to the beginning of the line. And worse yet, I constantly miss the mark and move the cursor to some other part of the document, and have to find my way back again. I find it extremely frustrating.

On a Mac, I can ctrl-a to move to the beginning of a line, ctrl-e to move to the end. Nearly anywhere. Losing that convenience is super frustrating.

I wonder what the price range for this would be. I’d readily pay up to 300 but would think twice if it goes above that.

Absolutely true on all accounts. Have deliberately removed the app from my phone and logged out on my browser - it was satisfying for a time, but I found myself frustrated with the drama and conflict. I'm convinced the people who are speaking in good faith are absolutely dwarfed by those yelling in bad faith. The medium doesn't lend itself to debate, instead it's just brief snippets of outrage. It's a really poor communication tool for anything actually worth communicating about.
General business books, pop culture leadership books and the like, no. Not at all. But I've also been in this game for a couple decades. Books can be helpful if you are newer to the industry.

Books about my specific subject area? Absolutely. Once you get into the weeds of your own niche, they are a huge help to knowing the niche.
The Russian and EU political and social landscapes are too at odds with each other for this to happen, at least in anything other than a doomsday scenario for both groups. Russia is more likely to join up with China than the EU.
Right. GP is factually incorrect. The blog post notes a few axes (hence the term intersectionality) commonly under consideration in social justice spheres, most of which are not solely about black people (though there are black people who experience all of the variations along these axes):

> I’m a white, cis, female, straight, abled (currently; this can change) US citizen with a PhD, raised by parents with advanced degrees.

Gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, citizenship, education, and affluence, respectively. Another notable one would be incarceration status, at least in the USA.
I agree it's unfortunate. "Defund", though, I can defend as colloquially non-absolute. Literally it means "remove all funds", but people often use it to mean "reduce funds", I've found.

Edit: Of course, that's not to say there are no people using it absolutely in this case.
I still accidentally try to use these on my linux machine, that’s one thing I really do miss. One consolation is that I can still use them in my shell :) Weirdly enough I never accidentally use these shortcuts while using vim. I’d guess my subconscious is somehow aware of the contexts in which I’d use these shortcuts and is able to differentiate between my browser, the commandline and vim but not between using a browser on a mac vs. a linux machine.
I find the Mac shortcuts odd, opposite to you.

Some you need to be have octopus fingers to hit them with one hand, and others are particularly weird such as screenshot (cmd+alt+4/3 isn't it?) - windows is just "something" + printscreen.

Windows keyboard shortcuts tend to feel a bit more ergonomic to me, but then I've used Windows much more than the Mac.
That's a simplistic view that doesn't take into account property prices; not every landlord has owned property since the beginning of time, taking advantage of price increases.

Imagine a retired teacher who decides to rent out a garage apartment to supplement her pension - is she taking advantage of 'inflated rents' if the rent amount barely covers a proportional amount of the mortgage?

Additionally, landlords have to pay 'inflated property taxes', 'inflated utilities', and 'inflated garbage service' - these aren't discretionary costs for a property owner unless you advocate letting people stay in their apartments, but without landlord contributions to water, heat, cooling, garbage.

Remember back when people had such issue with the language and phrasing of "Black Lives Matter" until people (over 50%, according to recent polls) finally came around after George Floyd? "Abolish the police" is going to be the same scenario in time.

If you look around and see incredible injustice, great. Don't spend your time policing the language and methodology the oppressed use to argue for their rights, go do things and help them be more effective.

I agree that the ideas put forth are generally reasonable but a national political slogan shouldn't require "but wait I don't mean that in the literal sense" explanation.

Not in modern times no. It gained complete independence from Britain in the 50s I think? Unless you're referring to all countries that were at one time controlled by the British Empire, which I think is a little out of touch with how much those countries have diverged from one another politically since then.
But it's an uncomfortable environment happening on the incumbent's watch. That doesn't say much positive about the incumbent's ability to lead, and suggests new leadership is in order.

Google organizationally though is probably incapable of capitalizing on Google Meet. They have a bewildering history of creating and discontinuing and morphing products in this space, and their historic lack of focus and vision means you'd have to really be a Google aficionado to keep up with what their current offering even is, much less whether it's any good.

Whereas Zoom? They do one thing, and they do it well (enough). You don't download Zoom Hangouts one year and then switch to Zoom Duo then Zoom Allo and then migrate Zoom Meet. You just use Zoom and it works well enough.

I feel like Zoom has basically eaten Google's lunch here, not by actually being a better offering, but by simply being a straightforward proposition. Perhaps Google can learn some lessons for the future...

> ... Unfortunately this also gets framed as a "filter bubble".
> I want a filter bubble.

I think describing a "topic-focused, outrage-free" curation strategy as 'filter bubble' is somewhat asinine.

"Filter bubble" is a dirty term because it suggests at best an isolated, distorted view of how things actually are, at worst active exclusion of valid dissent. The point is that important details aren't being noticed in the domain of what has attention.

I understand a lot of outrage comes from righteous minds who want to make the world a better place (or prevent it from becoming a worse place). -- All the same, just excluding outrage feels more like it's (at worst) ignoring 'allegedly important, unrelated things', rather than ignoring 'important, related things'.
Reforming policing and law enforcement is not a stupid idea, but the “Defund the police” messaging shuts down thoughtful conversation and alienates allies.
It absolutely is a human right.
Kirin's probably source something from U.S. designs right? Hence it's production run must end. I am guessing this means Huawei needs to switch to a design that is wholly originating from China (with possible input from Japan and Korea) but right now they are not up to the level of the Kirins.

This may really just mean Xiaomi or Oppo gains an advantage over Huawei and takes the top crown.
so china won is what you're saying? their system is superior if the west has to switch to it
The thing is, Europe was once relevant as far as tech goes, but European hostility toward disruptive innovation undermined all that. The EU is far less willing to let a long-established but obsolete industry die out, far less willing to tell a company that it needs to adapt to new technology to stay in business, and far less willing to tell people that the world has changed. As a result, the EU is a technology backwater, and all the innovation and big business is happening elsewhere; and now that they are faced with foreign innovation the EU is doubling down with regulations that are doing nothing more than cementing the dominance of those foreign companies.

> Note for users with a German keyboard layout: Given that the ? character is only reachable by pressing Shift, the ⇧? combination won’t work for us.

Not arguing, but I think I don't understand the point. Also on a QWERTY-keyboard, ? requires ⇧. In fact, ⌘⇧/ and ⌘⇧? not only have the same effect, but are literally just different ways of describing exactly the same keypress. If you need ⇧ to access a key, but ⇧ is already included in the combination, then what's the problem?

You should be aware that I've talked to liberals in rural areas who feel physically threatened by far-right rhetoric. I.e. the "the only good democrat is a dead democrat" video, conservatives guarding voting locations with guns, the president encouraging both these examples, etc. A couple of them have taken up gun ownership specifically because of this fear. I absolutely sympathize with both sides, but being "very uncomfortable" is nowhere near one-sided.
