I'm sure they were given a decent financial incentive to go along with this ban. Taiwan is an ally after all, if you annoy their companies with far overreaching targeted international rules, and don't compensate them, there are going to be political costs.

I would guess the new TSMC facility in the US is part of this compensation - they'll probably be receiving very favourable tax treatment for everything manufactured there.

I'm 31 making 3-4x what my father ever did.

It's all about perspective I guess.

True, but in that scenario such a startup only really has one exit strategy and it's hard to get much above acqui-hire pricing because the potential acquirer is well aware that they are making a build-vs-buy decision now that the market need and fit has been proven, and they as the potentially acquiring company control the cards in doing so.

I mean sure, if one feels invested enough in such people to expend the considerable effort to enlighten them and the folly of their judgment. But if one is already convinced of their own way, such an effort could be not worthwhile, or even fall on deaf ears.
My first though was you're using the wrong drug.
I still have my Android G1/ HTC Dream. If I could get a phone with roughly the same form factor, just a modern CPU/GPU/RAM/camera and bigger battery, I'd be in heaven. Needs to run PostmarketOS or PineOS too.

Same experience. I didn't know if the second half was talking about Matt Cutts.
The most insightful chart in this article is the % of positive cases per number of tests. Surprised that this statistic isn’t more readily available to the public. As we increase testing capabilities in the US, if is inevitable that the number of detected cases will also rise - parsing out the difference between a higher detection rate, and a higher infection rate, is something that can easily provide clarification on the current situation.
Would you feel the same way about "successful practices" which discriminate against employees on the basis of race, sex, or religious preferences? There are plenty of commonplace social practices which do not benefit employees or society. The mere presence of a feature does not prove that it is adaptive.
This is perhaps the most effective thing to do, and yet we don't do it because deep down we want people to respect our choice to refuse to drink.

I do drink but never much. I’ve always found just having something in hand that looks like a drink will prevent most of what you describe though.

> Even though it's a bit ugly, this is a big win.

As someone observed above it's the only win you are likely to get, as ugly often boils down to "something I have seen before".

There a few idioms that are actively helpful or harmful. For example, python making whitespace significant neatly meshes with human visual system. We are really good a picking up changes in indentation, not so good at lining up curly brackets. But best of luck trying to get 1/2 the population to accept that, even though it's objectively accurate.

On the other side, allowing too many levels of operator precedence seems to be harmful. I loved the conciseness when I was young. It was only later I noticed people struggled with some of my code because of it. Pascal (I think?) solved the problem by making combining some operators without parenthesis a syntax error. But since I only used Pascal when I was young, I hated it whenever I did use it.

So yeah, consistency is the only easy win. And as you say it's a big one: consistently formatted code is much easier to read than a miss-mash.
The part that they "end up in startups more often than you might expect" was a fascinating line for me and one that resonates with me quite well based on my experience.

Honestly just by making components and benchmarking them. Webcomponents are too new to really have a solid best practices guide at the moment and there's a lot of varried opinions out there. My main recommendations are to benchmark early and often. Tachometer is a library from the polymer team that I find does this very well:

Still here trying to finish for years now

It hasn't worked yet

I still fear death

And don't see that changing

Which is a conundrum especially now, being a middle aged burned out white male American college drop out homeless with a ruined reputation

I just want to be left alone not asking help

I gave my small fortune away about seven figures

I live in a vehicle and dream of being dead day in and day out

Wanted out for a long long time

I'm certainly not alone in this feeling but most rational folks will at least take care of themselves and not entirely sabotage their future

Too many unresolved incidents

Bullies in life: childhood, university, adulthood, workplace

No faith in the species

No desire to be alive

I'll probably be gone from suicide at some point before retirement

I think the species is shit

And this naturally is in total conflict with the will of most people

Just want to be left alone so I can finish the job already

Far too many unresolved incidents

Tech makes life worse in many ways by the way

For example I can't escape my ruined reputation one google search away

That will outlive me by a long shot

I think even your examples make clear there is a spectrum here and not absolute equivalence.

You can’t assess these things in a vacuum from their position in society. If adderall were over the counter and considered as safe as alcohol, the spectrum would change.

If alcohol were offered in a culture where it’s frowned upon it might be seen as worse than cigarettes.

It's interesting that you would read this article in particular and then say "as if" that way.

(I mean, "as if" is still appropriate for your average party, but the article is describing a situation where that really is true!)
Yeah, ditto. Why can't mainline Linux support come first? Then they could sell a working product.

Crazy, I know. Investing in difficult R&D problems to produce a quality product is not a good business model. It's so much easier to churn out a working devkit and ask for pull requests.

Sorry for the snark and pessimism, but that's what happens when you keep getting burned. This statement does not inspire confidence:

>Finally, to ensure that Pocket P.C. has great software support out of the box, we have requested embedded development help from the community.

Why is software always an afterthought with these projects? Especially a project like this, which has clearly seen an enormous amount of effort put into the hardware design.
Dear Staging: We’re Done
A friend who spent much time grappling with how to refrain from social drinking came up with the essentially factual sentence "I've had _plenty_ of alcohol, thanks" (said with enthusiasm in a way that implies he's partied in the past to the point where he had a problem and has to refrain now going forward, without actually sounding like a buzzkill - it takes a bit of practice but is easy to get across in just the right notes)
Maybe not exactly what the excerpt was getting at, but here's a variant: Instead of individuals using alcohol for this purpose, some fortune 500 companies use it too. At corporate "Team Building" offsite workshops, open bars are available to the sequestered employee groups. Those without the self control to abstain or exercise moderation are quickly identified as non-management material.

The excerpt also reminded me of an H. Ross Perot story that I cannot seem to find anywhere online. Someone had approached him for VC and had a sound business plan. The person had had issues with alcohol in the past, and had sworn off it. Perot had learned this (probably from a PI), and at the moment they were going to sign a business deal, Perot insisted on closing the deal with a drink. The other party explained that he did not drink, but Perot was absolutely insistent and would not close the deal without a drink. So the guy left without a deal. The next day, Perot called him and closed the deal. Perot had been testing the resolve and reliability of the guy. The venture was a success and became a Fortune 100 company.
Not the main point of the article, but I found this quote interesting.

"...police officers could significantly improve their ability to detect false statements if suspects were asked to give their alibis in reverse order."

This is similar to a technique we use in user research – not to catch someone in a lie, but to help them remember what actually happened. If you ask someone "what is your morning routine like", they tend to forget a lot of details and gloss over things that were difficult / tedious. If you ask them to recount backwards from "how did you arrive here today", they will give you a clearer picture. Not sure it works in all cases, but I use it on myself when I really want to remember a sequence of events.

Associating CCP is a crime?

Note that there is only one party who claims to be totally devoted to serving people. That's CCP.

Can I claim that these CCP members are helping bytedance to better serve it's customers, and help curbe the greedy capitalists from infringing Chinese citizen's privacy?

Or are they finally granted power over the bytedance company? I.e., are they organized to study Mr. Xi's thoughts, or trying to dictate the company's policy etc.
I see a pretty fine-pitch BGA on there, so I'm guessing it is (but also not a designer)
Working in general is alcohol soaked in our culture. All over the world. Working people drink together.

Alcohol has been marketed so heavily in all cultures for so long, and by so long i mean since beer was safer to drink than water, like pretty much since we invented fermentation, other than some brief puritan periods, alcohol it has been a huge part of human culture.

If you stop to think for a bit, how many wars, how many disasters how many deaths, conflicts and other terrible things in human history that's happened, where alcohol may not have been a direct factor, but the people doing these things probably drank regularly.

Alcohol is this strange partially acknowledged influence over so much of human culture and history, it's mindboggling when you start to really consider it.
Haven't published my progress so far. I'm ChuckMcM on Thingiverse and that is where I've been putting my designs so it will show up there eventually.
> As we increase testing capabilities in the US, it is inevitable that the number of detected cases will also rise

Most people miss that aspect and just look at overall case count.

Personally, I'm more and more encouraged every day that the case count grows dramatically and the resulting deaths don't. That means it's far far less deadly than we thought in March.
That's what it wants you to think.
Or you'll start a dumb argument.

Mental clarity not important for hangouts, toxins is a dumb buzzword, you're not working out tonight, etc.

It appears that Harvard study failed to adjust for comorbid conditions such as obesity, and thus I suspect it overestimates years of life lost.

> someone is going to have to find something useful to do with them

Looking at that pocket pc website... If that usb c port could drive a display it might be interesting to dock that thing and get a full desktop experience. Then take your work with you when you are ready to go mobile. On buses and trains or other places where it might be clumsy to use a laptop.

I guess this was a thing many people have fantasized about for a long time but nobody has really made practical. I guess laptops, phones and tablets being separate entities is good enough.
> When I test my code, I want to know that it works in production. Staging, you can’t give me that.

This sounds like more of a problem with the author's staging environment than a general issue with the concept of staging environments.

The idea is staging and production should mirror eachother as closely as possible. If your staging environment is wildly different, of course it will be less useful. But it's also your responsibility to maintain a useful-enough staging environment. Why not just say, "it's too much effort for me to maintain a separate, identical environment" rather than dismiss the concept entirely?

I actually thought it was a forgone conclusion that remote work is _more_ productive (for IC work) but the problem is ideation and serendipitous interactions leading to novel IP is more likely to happen when people are physically near each other. Hence the aversion at a corp. level to remote work.
> The risk asymmetry in shorting also contributes to this

Sounds like "markets can remain irrational for longer than you can remain solvent." I hadn't thought of it as risk asymmetry, before.
Well, even inflation adjusted I was making more than my parents did combined when they were 45.

But, my mom retired from teaching after 30 years at 55 and my Dad retired from his factory job at 57. When they were 62, they were both getting pensions and social security checks. They’ve been married for 50+ years and retired for 20+ years.

I won’t be retiring before 67...

A HN submission of cached contents of an article, that was cached by a HN indexing system because it was previously posted in the past.

This shows that HNdex is doing its job in helping people discover posts that they hadn’t seen.

It must also be some sort of milestone in the history of HN perhaps, as https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=hndex.org currently shows that this is the first post to HN from HNdex aside from the Show HN about HNdex itself.

A couple of things that this makes me wonder is:

- Will the cached article itself eventually also be cached and show up when you make the following search on HNdex for example? https://hndex.org/?q=alcohol+social+trustworthiness I’m thinking that the author of HNdex probably already thought of excluding HNdex pages from HNdex itself.

- Is this a new era of HN, where more third-party sites pop up in order to explore and interact with HN in novel ways? I am aware of a few other third-party sites that offer some sort of interaction with HN. But the others that I can think of immediately have been alternate front ends that mostly didn’t do anything radically different. HNdex on the other hand is really something different.

- Since the caches work with things like Google+, and since it has cached articles that have since gone 404’d, it must mean that HNdex is the result of a personal project that has been ongoing for quite a while. Or they extracted the data from other archive sources. Either way, I wonder if any of the other people on HN also have HN-related projects that they either made for their own use and didn’t (yet) set up a public version of, or are working on currently.
True, Apple has a big advantage by having a sense for the baseline-level of computing power on client devices, which is pretty high across the board.

The uniformity of UX is worth the glacial rate, IMO. The more ScrollViews with arbitrarily laid out content (Photos seems to have these increasingly), the less intuitive I find apps. In Photos, I find it hard to get a sense for what menu-depth I'm at. Apple has a very logical master-detail layout across most apps, and I hope with Mac Catalyst that Apple continues to enforce consistent UI practices.

The more freedom developers are given to put any old layout, the more apps start feeling the way Windows Forms, WPF, and UWP feels on Windows; it's like you have to start thinking about "Okay, when was this app designed?" to figure out how to use it.

> because there is no tasks that needs so much computing power

I think your own point explains why people are more than happy to use a more expensive iPhone despite technological differences.

I'm currently developing with a relatively new android phone, but I'd never use it as an actual day-to-day phone in lieu of my circa 2014 iPhone (believe me I've tried).

The extent to which I prefer the overall iPhone experience far outweighs any technological upper-hand that the android has. In the scheme of things, phone technology has barely shifted in 6 years; a supposed 2 year difference is utterly negligible.

Side note: what's the deal with the Google Play store??! I tried to download facebook messenger a few days ago for testing, and accidentally downloaded an entirely different app with a very similar name and icon as it somehow managed to occupy the top listing (ad?).
Seems obscene that it's so easy to mount a phishing attack against android users.

So we're talking about situations where it's not particularly a positive or negative influence, just an influence? You could make similar arguments for a lot.

It's the same way people get defensive when someone else says they're a vegan. People may often take it as this person signaling something they do as 'normal' and your refusal to partake means there might be a health, moral, or other flaw in their practice. That someone else never said anything further, cast down on the questioner for drinking/eating meat/etc., or said "it's debate time", but it's the symbol that the very thought that maybe they should second guess themselves that disgusts them -- and this event was supposed to be fun, and you are making it serious.
