Despite all this, US tech firms still have a harder time operating in China.

> A meta point I'd like to add is that currently 10 % of the earths population in the "Westosphere" controls 60 % of the worlds wealth.

True wealth is really hard to measure. Stocks and dollars and euros are not wealth. They are mediums of exchange no different then dogecoin.

When I am hungry, I can’t eat them directly, I can only trade them for food. And the amount of food I will get varies based on supply and demand.
Thanks for sharing. As a German learner this is quite fascinating to know.
Blocking two companies is not restricting trade with China. It is restricting trade with two companies.

"When the hair was free to bend, however, chips were more likely to occur. These chips most commonly formed in places where the blade edge met the sides of the hair strands."

So the question is, in shaving, how do we ensure that all hairs are perpendicular to the blade edge and not free to bend?

I use Feather blades exclusively; the number of shaves I can get from one blade varies according to the shaving soap used.
Not the author (but I read the previous papers and the code), the simple answer is that it's still very costly in processing power. Think a few hours on good hardware for a set of pictures.

Note that the results are still very impressive imo, this is still early research phase.
As a complete aside, I really love their kimchi, it's probably the best store-bought kimchi I've had.
I dunno, it worries me to see popular narratives sinking back into nationalistic perspectives.
This entrenches us in the “they did A, so we will respond with B” logic, and from there, it only takes a few “reasonable” exchanges between nations “just looking out for themselves” for us all to end up in a situation nobody wanted.
>you'd end up with another junk food company

i'm not sure if i can agree with you on this. if i can create a successful junk food brand like mcdonalds, i'd do it in a second.
Code reviews are good checks. Making it more difficult for dumb ideas to show up in a code review and possibly be missed is also good.

If using md5 had any real benefit I'd say leave it, but what are you gaining?
Ok, but this comment is vastly better than your GP comment. From this one we can actually learn something. What you posted upthread was just a supercilious putdown. I understand the intense frustration of seeing people be wrong on the internet, but in the future, if you'd please post like this rather than like that, we'd be grateful.
I’ve been meaning to buy a decent safety razor setup for a while-any suggestions for brands or models?
I understand that this makes sense from a libertarian perspective, but I believe there are certain exceptions to be made when dealing with authoritarian, abusive, and dangerous regimes.

An example would be nuclear material and technology. US places a lot of restrictions on individuals' rights to trade these materials, but I believe it is necessary.

So not all restrictions on individual rights are incorrect, when it comes to trading with foreigners.
Isn't strain-hardening also a factor?
To be fair, I wasn't arguing in bad faith and I would've welcomed arguments (should you care enough to participate) to tell me why you are right. Instead you throw Word into the mix, for which those theories (perhaps ill-phrased, but I wouldn't call them arguments) can indeed be just as easily dismissed.
The machine never slows down to protect weaker species. Such plan may be an attempt to lower power demand at night and make the demand curve more closely match Germany's wind/solar supply curve. It's an effort to lower costs and lower demand for power they'd have to buy from coal/natural gas.
Not sure if this is mentioned but it sounds similar to another restaurant disruption that gained ground recently, I'm talking about redesigned food courts. The idea was an artisanal food courts that chefs could rent stalls in. I am sure they are still around but I know there was a lot of fuss over their exploitative practices.

CCP bots and troll accounts, coupled with everyone who is downvoting because they equate agreeing with anything that is done during the Trump administration as "Trump supporting".

It is all getting beyond stupid at this point.

That’s the thing, I hate trump badly but he is at least partially right in China. The problem is working alone doesn’t work even if you are the US. And trump has no friends left so there is just him going alone. This was one of the reasons for the TPP.

"Threat" aside, it does seem fair for the West to reciprocate bans on Google/Facebook etc, but not sure the best way to communicate with family in China now if the western messaging apps are banned there and vice versa
That just means it wasn’t valuable
To be clear, TikTok and WeChat are quite different 'threats', both real, but it's not clear how dangerous:

TikTok is aimed at a wide market, and it's a content app - there are two worries with it, data and influence. If they are installed on a significant number of devices in the US/the 'West', and their user data is stored in or available to Chinese networks, that data is available to the Chinese government on-demand. Secondly, if they have significant enough cultural influence, they can use that to promote/demote certain topics or specific content, for a variety of purposes.

WeChat seems to have no serious ambitions beyond China and the Chinese diaspora, nowadays. It's used by people all over the world to keep in touch with their friends and families, and to do business, with people in China, and it's widely-known that the content is actively monitored and censored by/on behalf of the Chinese government. Although VPNs etc are available, it's really the only significant communication and social media platform available in (and into) China. There's also pretty good evidence (although mostly anecdotal, AFAIK) that it's a channel for nationalistic propaganda, government-coordinated action and similar amongst the Chinese diaspora - actively so, beyond the passive effect of censored content.

None of these things are to say that billions of people can't happily use those platforms, every day, all over the world! But they also cannot be completely ignored...

And before anyone starts with "but the American government is just the same!", it's not, it's really not. The Chinese government is a literal totalitarian, authoritarian, one-man dictatorship. However much Trump cosplays as a dictator, and however much authoritarianism he demonstrates, there are huge qualitative differences.
But hair is so soft compared to titanium, seems possible that the much greater flexibility might make up for the poorer edge retention.
It's the same as the Richard Stallman case, some person (deliberately?) misinterperts words to suit their ideological agenda, and gets reported as news. Intellectual dishonesty at it's worst.

I have a startup to sell you on. It's called Brydge. We have a radically non-linear revenue model which resembles a perpendicular hockey stick. We currently have no revenue, but revenues will quintuple each year until you die, at which point we expect to make ten billion dollars per year. We are looking for a 10 million dollar investment for a 30% stake. You are also entitled to 100% of our revenues until you die. In expected value terms, that's a great deal.
Isn't this what all those "market intelligence" firms sell? Point is only established companies want to pay for it.
I don't think anyone really considers the memo itself to be a scientific fact. The scientific papers cited and arguments contained therein people might take as scientific facts.
>>That was always the theme. They don't listen. That's why they win.

You forget about tons of startup and business that failed spectacularly because they think they know better than those "old fools" (also, they usually comes up with arrogant attitude to change the world for some reason)

Tesla is one of a very very few outlier. I have to give them credit for that.

Edit: To clarify things up. I didn't mean that old way is always better, some people I've work with are just too stubborn with their old-school thinking and led to lack of innovation to the point of annoying. But I'm also sure that there are also good old wisdom in different perspective that younger generation can learn from, and not just discard it completely.

I guess Chinese users will resort to Chinese IP VPNs, there's already some to get around geofenced mainland content.

E: much downvote
> Then sit back and let China then make the first move. Might not work, but at this point I wouldn't put it past somebody in the White House having already gamed it.

I doubt it, there is not a single person of competence in the white house capable of gaming it. They are reactionary, not proactive. The President does not understand causality, and I sincerely doubt that anyone in his inner circle does either (because everyone with a brain has left or been fired). Your strategy here has two moves more than anyone in the Trump whitehouse is capable of fathoming.

> There has never been a case in human history where one group of people voluntarily gave up their wealth, status and privilege to another group of people. Wealth transfer always leads to violence.

I mean involuntary != violence. There have been plenty of peaceful cessions of power.
It might have been seen as OK on the business community, but people in the national security community have been freting over it for a long time. For reasons good and bad those views are now in the ascendancy in the political sphere.

Your example only works if the offensive content was sent unsolicited.

If the person offended sought out the content I do not think the content should be banned (assuming the content was legal speech).

The issue of 'amplifying narratives' is not at all exclusive to any 'side' and the misinformation is everywhere, it just takes on different forms.

I believe that the issue of the 'right wing side' in this case is possibly as you've indicated - in that there is just more sensitivity around it.

The Valley is Left/Anarcho/Libertarian with 'traditionally minded' immigrants, and so there's more suspicion in certain camps of legit bias on 'one side'. I think this is where the sidedness of the issue might derive.

As to the materiality of it ... who knows ...

What a nasty nasty reply. Think about why you chose to leave this comment. Is this something you really believe? Or are you just saying The Words?
It's pretty much impossible for lower-income countries to develop economically without protecting their emerging businesses from being slaughtered by established foreign competition.

The priority of the Chinese government is the benefit of its citizens (leaving aside that the CCP doesn't consider ethnic minorities in China to be full citizens, as this is a separate issue) and its domestic economy, not the benefit of the American tech sector's senior executives and shareholders.

It's not reasonable to expect, much less demand, that the Chinese turn their tech economy over to silicon valley by allowing unrestricted US entry. It's not in their economic interests, nor is it in their security interests, and no amount of US bullying will change this.

China is not Europe; it's not going to hand over the keys to its economic future to the United States just because the US asks for them.
The biggest missing feature in GitHub for me is "Merge when green". I wonder why they didn't add this yet.
This is a bad faith interpretation.

A widely held belief is both that free trade is good, when both parties engage in it, and that when one party prohibits it the other party is correct in doing the same. This is why reciprocating sanctions and tarrifs is standard practice.

For example, Canada just today announced tarrifs on some US goods in response to the US putting tarrifs on some Canadian goods. That's not because we don't want free trade with the US, it's because free trade only works if it's reciprocal.
can we talk of any other country please. I don't want read about usa in EVERY index. what is happening in Malaysia, Argentina, Japan. not USA everywhere
I won't pretend that it's especially easy to do this today, considering that most families have an implicit expectation of both parents working; and it's certainly something I am in favour of further subsidization, including subsidizing would-be stay-at-home-parents enough to make it make sense to have a large family (i.e. off the top of my head, it seems reasonable that a SAHP should be able to make nearly as much gov't subsidy if they have 5 kids of their own as they worked as a childcare provider for that many).

However, that doesn't seem like it would really work as a natalist policy, because it would further incentivize existing cultures that already have the structures for having large numbers of families intact, whereas the money on its own isn't really quite sufficient to compete against that.
Nelly!
I does ring true that there's little financial incentive to create long lasting blades.

Even if you produce something that's cheaper over a year, I doubt there are many takers for the high up front cost.
Cartridge razors are garbage, but they are idiot-proof. I use a straight razor (cuthroat) and hone it a few strokes with 8k diamond after every use, no leather strop. Even with the time spent sharpening it is faster than a cartridge razor because it cuts a wider swath and never clogs. It took me quite a few iterations to find a razor/sharpening tool combo that worked properly. A safety razor works almost as well with no fuss sharpening. The other downside of a straight razor is if you drop it could cut your d* off so I always put on shorts before shaving.
I didn't say that, or did I? Anyways, indeed they are chains of tiny LEDs in series, and the substrate they are embedded in is treated somehow. As I understand it, that gives the embedded LEDs a "Nachleuchtzeit"/ after glow like in the CRTs of old TVs and computer screns, which can vary, as it did with that old screen stuff too. Then there is the spatial thing, as they are spread out in the filament, you can actually look at them without being "blinded". It's more like the light radiates from a volume, softer, not from one sharp point. Not that it would matter that much, who has naked bulbs? As a result of all that there is no https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(acoustics), no perceivable flickering at my power frequency of 50Hz. I think I'm sensitive to that, because the line/destination signs on public transportion

Ah yes, the CRI. What can I say? I now have them everywhere, except the cellar. I prefer warm white, which they are. I can't see 'wrong' colors with them. Crosschecked that with a cassette of about 40 Faber-Castell color pencils right now, during my local morning twilight. Full spectrum.

Because "retro-fit" they fit in my old sockets. They just hit a sweet spot for me. I dim, or 'tune' them by using one to three circuits, the switches and my rooms are wired to allow for that.

Old, but not obsolete ;-)

This is obviously just a tactic by the Trump administration to distract people from the US economy tanking because of the mishandling of covid-19. If you haven't noticed, the US has much bigger problems. How about covid-19, the economy, lack of universal healthcare, weak education system, huge deficits, etc?

I am not blaming the mishandling of covid-19 solely on the Trump administration. I am just pointing out their Wizard of Oz distraction tactic and how the vast majority of people fall for it.

There is an economic competition between the US and China but this move is pure silly. WeChat isn’t doing anything in the US. It’s for Chinese people to talk to family in China.

No. I'm suggesting that acknowledging the cost of lockdowns is something that is not allowed to be discussed in liberal circles.

I don't think anyone forgot about them. It's just... that's how innovation happens. Most big, established companies you see were once young upstarts who arrogantly thought they knew better than everyone else how to run a business.
But if you don't trust them, then how do hearings help? Hearings only ask questions and but don't create any change?
> So Salman Khan also didn't kill any poor in 2002? Some ghosts were driving his car that night?

What has this got to do with Modi? This is the biggest problem with you liberals. You can't debate on facts. The moment you are presented with facts you either shoot and scoot or indulge in diversions. Shows what shaky grounds you stand on!

As far as Salman Khan is concerned I believe he was driving and killed poor in 2002. Now this is my belief. It hasn't been proved in any Court and I am not fighting a case against him nor I have the urge. It is for the victims to take it to the logical conclusion and they are doing it. He was exonerated of charges in a High Court. It can always be appealed in the Supreme Court. I don't have any particular hatred for him, like you do for Modi, to pursue that case. I base my belief in circumstances surrounding the incident. I might be wrong too. That is why it is my "belief" and not a "fact".

But I will never turn my belief into a fact and try to assert to others that my belief is a fact. That if you don't agree with me you are an "asshole" and a "Salman Bhakt". Do you realize how stupid and ridiculous it sounds? You are trying to pass on your beliefs about Modi as facts and then getting riled up because someone called you out! It is borderline juvenile behavior. If this troubles you so much why don't you go to some Court and prove your allegations? Do some hard work for once?

> Can't believe there are ahole Modi bhakts here on HN.

You can call me an asshole as much as you want but you are just exposing your own self. You haven't proved anything against Modi. In any Court of Law. Neither when Congress was in power nor now. This is all you people are good at: calling sane people "bhakts" and "assholes". But when it comes to actually walking the talk you guys hide in some closet!
An interface is a kind of relation between things that would otherwise be separate. So yes, I'd say that establishing the interface by itself increases complexity slightly.

However, there are lots of situations where one may want to substitute one enumerable type for another, and thus lots of opportunities to recoup that complexity. The first time the interface lets me write one function instead of two (say, a batch processing function that can deal with objects in an Array or those being streamed from an IO, because they both implement foreach), that's a win.

I have to think a lot harder to come up with a situation where I have an object that might be an Option and might be a Future, and I don't care which type I have. It doesn't seem like it would ever come up in business logic, so we're probably looking at some sort of mid-level abstraction that depends a lot on the code on both sides of it. Maybe that's why writing a decent, concise tutorial is so hard.

I like your article. You make explicit that being able to use Options and Futures interchangeably is the objective, and your example code actually depends on all the monad behaviors instead of just flatMap (I think - Scala is a foreign language to me). I still don't know how often those circumstances come up in practice, but maybe with experience I'll start seeing the patterns more often. Thanks again.
I like this approach. I want to build an alternative for GoodReads focused on privacy (a là Pinboard). Should I search on Twitter for people complaining about GoodReads, ask them why, and after getting feedback, ask them if they would pay for this service? (Something like $10 yearly, or around that)
For many regional and regulatory burdened fields (e.g. ISPs), be the "Stripe Atlas" making it easier for others to compete.
Now we should intermittently just turn off websites and services of Chinese companies in the US, randomly lose and/or return shipments, etc.

They have been cheating us forever. We should do it too if that is the way they want to do business.
