Tit for tat reciprocity is the basis of most modern trade relations.

To give a related, similar, but not exactly the same example, in order to demonstrate this idea of reciprocal trade relations:

If country A puts a tariff on country B, then it is almost guaranteed that Country B will put the same exact tariff on country A.

This example is used to demonstrate the principle of trade related relations.

This is how trade relations have worked for a very long time.

And actions regarding international, hundred billion dollar companies, are going to be related to this idea of trade and reciprocal trade relations.

What to Do After an Accelerator
I thought it was common knowledge that poor and/or uneducated people, at least in the West, tend to be more obese, and overall tend to live a less healthy lifestyle. But I'm happy to be wrong.

What has usually been the topic of discussion between people with differing political views is 1) whether this can be reduced to a personal choice (ability), and consequently 2) where the responsibilities lie to improve the situation.

At least observationally, having lived in both richer and poorer areas of cities around the world, in the poor areas people smoked more, drank more (whether sugary drinks or alcohol), were more obese, had worse teeth, and I saw fewer joggers or other people working out.

Because of my political views I tend to feel that many of these poorer/uneducated people both lack the ability and the environment to do 'better', and regardless of whether that is true, I believe societal/collective initiatives would be helpful in changing the situation (whether state- or community-led).

I think there are plenty of initiatives to support improvements (church, grassroots movements, non-profits, state-initiatives; pick your poison).

The one thing I have trouble with is the, IMO, often self-serving and incredibly myopic view that all these people are just inferior and entirely willingly choosing to live often unhealthy and unhappy lives. When I see a severely obese person, I see someone with problems, not someone who's just a happy, lazy glutton. I've never personally met a fat person who was unapologetically happy with their situation. Far from it.
I notice that you have no one in your circle of acquaintances who has illegally downloaded movies about torrents and got caught. I don't know how it is in other countries, but here in Germany friendly people ring your doorbell and take everything that is connected to electricity :). And if there is any data in there that is very damaging to Intel, then I think they will take the trouble to look for these people (at least in certain countries)
It is both, and in its arbitrary application, it's even worse than a purely anti-free-market move, because it's not even principled. Isolationism and domestic protectionism, if those were the given reasons, would at least be principled.
You have posted the reason why this and the TikTok ban is most likely a bluff.

This (ordering companies such as Apple and Google to sever all business with TikTok and WeChat's owners and by extension removing them from all app stores) is a cannon that only can be fired once and will be so loud that it will fundamentally damage the centralised app store model.

This is similar to the muslim travel ban and will be overturned by some court and the Trump administration probably expect this. But does this anyway for the purpose of political communication.
Audacity isn't really a DAW but you can indeed switch the track displays to show a spectrogram, though it takes a while to compute. You can get spectrogram plugins for DAW's also that will display a real time spectrogram. Mastering software often includes a spectrogram tool.
Yes, not working for me too. Ran the

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

command also which upgraded by Rustc to rustc 1.45.2 (d3fb005a3 2020-07-31).

This is one problem I have faced with Rust quite frequently. Try to clone and run a random (not famous) project from Github and it doesn't compile.

Love Java when it comes to this. It's easy to see which version of the JDK is needed from the Maven file. If you have that version of JDK, the projects almost always run.
While it's difficult to get hard numbers, the estimations for the decline in insect populations range from 70% to 90% since the 1980 (for some areas).

Given that insects are one of the corner stones of our ecosystem, we can congratulate ourselves that we are very successful in destroying our own life support systems through predatory exploitation and sheer carelessness.

Well done.
Yeah I've just installed it and seen eg. the autocompletion on ls isn't how I'm used to. I will keep playing around and watch for progress because I really like the idea.

I especially see this being useful in my CI environment which has a handful of functions, some json and yaml parsing (using jq and python respectively), etc. It's a little cumbersome at the minute but not so much to switch from bash and the rest of the project is JS anyway so it would be good to be consistent.

Don’t be silly. I am talking about treating pets for the diseases they have, not having people torture my pet.
"Economic elites" here being approximated by the "affluent", namely 90th income (why not wealth?) percentile.

Here's an explanation for non-US readers, or US readers who don't understand how police are integrated into the judicial system.

The defunding movement hasn't been well-explained in the press, but the actual core reality is that police unions need to be removed, and to remove the police unions, you have to start over with new police forces.

There's 4 problems that need to be solved first though:

1) After you start over, how do you prevent a new union forming?

2) In the USA, District Attorneys (DA's), etc. are elected. To get elected, police union support at election time is needed/helpful.

3) How do you move existing court cases ahead after you fire the arresting officers?

4) Even though police officers often have misconduct, the DA needs their testimony to be believable for cases. So the misconduct is generally suppressed from public view.

As you can see, the dependency of DA's on police officers alone makes this issue very difficult to solve, and when combined with unlimited legal aid from police unions is insurmountable.

Canada, which operates quite differently than the US (DA's are appointed), also has a problem with police unions stonewalling investigations. The officers involved just remain silent and lawyer up, the same as the US.
> accused by the United Nations of genocide at their concentration camps for million+ Uighurs.

UN did not claim this. Adrian Zenz who works for US interests claimed it meets UN definitions to justify XPCC sanctions despite knowing full well this was going on for past 5 years when policy started. Just like how this entire narrative was started by Zenz in a presentation at a US funded panel affiliated with UN, but not UN itself. The only real UN thermometer is US getting 23 countries to support XJ as a human rights issue, and China getting 56 countries to support it as re-education. UN will never rule this as cultural genocide (what it is) let alone genocide (what it isn't).

CCP also raised 1B out of poverty and is responsible for 30% of global growth, so really on balance a few million Uyghurs+Tibetians+HKers+ eventually Taiwan getting their human rights violated isn't convincing arithmetic for billions in the rest of the developing world who relies on Chinese growth, when magnitudes more are being screwed in Middle East for no tangible gain. CCP bad, but also good.
Thanks, I'm exploring twilio right now and it doesn't seem too bad to work with but that is just me playing around with it. How it handles in the real world could be a different story.
You mean you can't "ethically" infect people? I disagree, it just comes down to risk. Many vaccines and medications have rare but potentially severe side-effects, but we administer them anyway due to risk versus reward.

Let's say you have a 5% chance of dying from COVID-19, a 10% chance of contracting it, but only a 0.05% chance of dying from some harmless coronavirus that would reduce your chance of dying from COVID-19 by half. It would be irrational not to deliberately contract the harmless coronavirus.

The problem is just that we don't know all these variables, especially for a given individual.
The most recent example was Grindr which was first sold to Chinese company and the government had to force them to sell it back because the app contained location info of potentially sensitive military personnel.
Isn't that similar to the requirements[1] placed on Huawei in the UK if they want to sell any network equipment? Everything must be inspected and overseen by GCHQ.

The Long-Term E-Coli Experiment [0] is also pretty awesome, because not only is is evolution seen directly in the lab, but frozen samples can reveal exactly what steps turned out to be important.

Of course a single project is very unlikely to depend on two different packages with the same name. But a global repository of all packages is conversely extremely likely to have many many people all wanting one name - it's essentially a .com registry.

Reusing project names is just a straight no-go when that is what other peoples projects depend on. As soon as a package has a dependency, (name, version, source) need to be absolutely immutable.
Indeed. In very deed.

I'd say it's a subset of a much more general situation. I don't know how best to analyze that situation. But some things seem clear: What we live in is far from a meritocracy. The current system does not incentivise moral behaviour. The current system does not incentivise productive behaviour. A lot of people will try their best to act morally and be productive anyway.
If we really wanted, Cargo could start supporting namespaces and everything currently on crates.io could go to a new default namespace (and would still be reachable under the non-namespaced name for older versions of Cargo).

I don't think Rust itself needs to know about namespaces (as in: johndoe/fuse would still just expose a crate named "fuse". Crate name collisions can be handled with Cargo's already existing renaming ability.)

Yes, then the issue of namespace naming comes up. I guess that would be less of an issue than package-level collisions or squatting, but still, you don't want any random person to get the "google" namespace for example. Which could only be avoided by either manual review or something like DNS based verification (which has lots of drawbacks itself).
You're putting a lot of weight on positive relations rather than power. I'm just not convinced. The US is substantially more powerful than Canada, so they can bully Canada. Canada doesn't really have the option to turn them down as an ally.

For example, I don't think the trade war did damage relations with Canada - if what you're measuring is tangible results, rather than sentiment. From what I can tell, the US basically said, "give us a better deal, now. Also we're boycotting China." Canada said "I don't want to. But OK," and then... Nothing else changed. The US won, and Canada didn't reprimand them. Results > sentiment.

Forcing Canada to choose between the US and China is absolutely a strategic option for the US, and possibly an important move to make given how heavily China is invested in Canadian property. America doesn't want China getting a foothold on their continent. Even if it pissed off the Canadian public... So what? What are the practical results?

Note the US is currently embroiled in similar situations with Britain (Assange & the Hit & Run Diplomat). They practically forced the UK to join the war in Iraq, which pissed the UK public off way more than Weng Menzhou - doesn't matter. They won, & the UK is still a (staunch) ally.
What tariff? What trade? What does this action have to do with either?
"Devil's Chessboard" is a good overall view of the CIA although not specifically about the postwar period. Stephen Kinzer has some good books which touch on the subject including "The Brothers" and "Poisoner in Chief." Christopher Simpson's "Forbidden Trilogy" (esp. "Blowback") is very good as well.
REBOL was such a fun language to use. I wish it was open sourced earlier, then it might have made a larger impact. RED is a spiritual successor that deserves a look as well: https://www.red-lang.org/
Most likely. You can get the bitrate to display (when the video controls are up maybe?) if you wanted to take a look.

Between that and whatever magic my OLED tv was doing, it looked pretty good to me.

Just a shame they haven't released it all in 4K/UHD yet...
I think I'm learning to scan-read articles, opinion pieces, HN comments and the moment a reference to "white men" and "people who had/have all the power" crops up I know it's going to be some critical theory nonsense.

White men have zero power in today's society. They get discriminated against all the time, often by other "white men" (=caucasians+indians+chinese+etc) who have adopted some weird religion in which they're meant to atone for the sins of their ancestors and worship black people because of their skin colour.

You aren't the majority, by the way. It may feel like that because people with your views are by far the most aggressive at shutting other people down or firing them for not agreeing with your beliefs, but that's not the actual same thing as being in the majority.

There is going to be blowback against this kind of modern day Bolshevism.
Who Really Writes Chefs' Recipes?
Infection with at least some of those "common cold" human coronaviruses seems to have much the same effects on kids and the elderly (and maybe everyone else too) as Covid-19. At least part of the reason we're not seeing a huge pandemic of those is that lots of people already have immunity, but that also makes infecting people with them less useful - the people who already have immunity to those aren't likely to develop new immunity, and the people who don't presumably won't necessarily develop immunity that crosses over to Covid-19.

(Unfortunately, since common cold research is a lot less big, glamourous and high-profile than Covid-19, I don't think we know a huge amount for sure about the other human coronaviruses - and what we do know isn't exactly front-page headline news.)
I remember that a couple of years ago, there was a study that was based on squashed bugs on licence plates. Basically they used the standardized surface of the plates to measure the bugs in a certain area. No idea what came from it.
> the purest intent of doing it for sheer joy or scratching your own itch...

...is great for as long as the joy or itch lasts. But the same problem still occurs, at some point a single maintainer is going to lose enthusiasm or have other itches they want to scratch. This becomes especially true when maintenance starts to feel more like a chore.

And in open source projects it can get even worse. Github users can be especially demanding and there are often those who express their demands in very "confrontational" ways. Faced with that it can be difficult to remain invested.
It's the place where most of the people in my industry (WebGl) seem to gather and showcase their work. Hanging out there too lets me connect with them and has gotten me a considerable amount of work over the last couple of years and allowed me to make professional connection that I would have otherwise missed. I also showcase and advertise my own work there.

I'm extremely careful not to engage in anything related to identity or politics on Twitter. I've added a big list of muted words and accounts (trump, politics, gender, queer, republican, democrat, sanders, etc.). Many of these are topics I find interesting and discussion worthy, but the twitter format doesn't allow space for anyone to formulate actual cohesive thoughts so the result of discussing anything contentious is just people shouting at each other. Once I avoid these topics and stick to discussing tech, twitter is fine.
Helps against attackers grepping the whole disk (or any folder named "conf" or similar) for "username", "user", "password", "pass", "key" and friends.

It's game over anyway if someone has a shell on your server but at least it complicates their life a bit.
But they have to establish reasonable suspicion, wuch they also have to justify in court in order to investigate you further.

They can't just say "he had a bad score, so I pulled him over and found weed". If they did that, the stop would be unjustified and the whole case would be thrown out.
The problem is, Germany went through this shit almost 100 years ago.

You would have thought the US would have developed a bit since then. But apparently it hasn‘t.
That’s not meritocratic in the normal sense of the word. Nobody is allowed to ignore CCP policy goals hoping to prove that they are flawed with data later. You’ll be in a re-education camp long before then.

Now it may be true that you can quickly climb the ladder if you never challenge anything, but that’s a pretty narrow set of merit being recognized. It’s just barely an improvement over promoting family members. In both cases, no fundamental change can legitimately bubble up based on merit.
Hopefully it'll be a proper free one.
My advice would be to create your own echo chamber, not the bad ideologically biased one, but the one that helps you put yourself and your work out there while being able to stay updated on the developments within the community. I feel that twitter is a far better platform to learn than quora, reddit, and what not because of its mainstream nature and authenticity where you can interact with real experts without falling into the linkedin trap(networking for the sake of it and spamming people). The only thing is you will have to excercise at least a little bit of caution and restraint on the side of meandering around mindlessly.
I remember a housing slump growing up and I wonder whether those will happen again or whether the circumstances that allowed those slumps to happen in major metros just don't exist anymore.
Not wanting to have toxic user requests and issues open for something you do in your spare time could be one good reason.
India has a lot of protectionism in place for their core industries as well.

Example is call centers. Foreign call centers, like in the Philippines, are not allowed to service any company that does has operations in India.
I used a "cutthroat" razor after being sick of others getting dull that quickly. With changeable blades though. They are always in pristine condition and my barber said it is better for most people. 100 pieces à 5$...

But even with a good brush, which is as essential as a sharp blade for that kind of shaving, it just cannot compete in my opinion. It takes longer and is more bloody. Boy did razors made technological improvements, I think the plastic ones really can compete today.

It looks easy how barbers do it but it is another thing if you do it in front of a mirror.
I follow people I think are smart or interesting who do things beyond tweet. They might tweet to say they've published a new podcast, made a video, etc. They also share articles or perspectives or write up Twitter threads.
Are you sure about that? Microsoft is in big trouble in China too. This is the problem with a totalitarian state. Laws can be modified at will. You don't take the people into confidence. What is acceptable today may not be tomorrow. You are always on your toes. You may be favorable today dining with the highest authorities, tomorrow you will be on the streets. It is that merciless. US companies have literally been used and thrown out. That is a fact. But US realized the game too late. People started taking the Chinese threat seriously only when Trump raised the issue in his election campaigns. Microsoft, HP and Dell will probably be the final casualties in this ongoing battle between US and China.

An article from December 2019. When the pandemic was in its initial stages and China was keeping it all under wraps. China had already decided to dump US companies way back then. US is more reactionary just like India. China fooled the World.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/09/china-reportedly-orders-stat...

Quoting directly from the article:

China’s Communist Party has ordered all state offices to remove foreign hardware and software within three years, the Financial Times reported, in a move which could hit major U.S. firms including Microsoft, Dell and HP.

The policy has been dubbed “3-5-2” because the replacement of the technology will happen at a pace of 30% in 2020, 50% in 2021, and 20% in 2022, the newspaper said, citing a note from brokerage firm China Securities. Analysts there estimate that 20 million to 30 million pieces of foreign equipment need to be replaced in China.

...

“Discrimination against foreign technology has been a part of the policy framework in China for years now, but it’s something that USTR (United States Trade Representative) is already familiar with,” Marro told CNBC.

“This might nevertheless complicate the discussions around Huawei, ZTE and other companies in terms of their access to the U.S. market. Much of the popular narrative has centered around the U.S. unfairly banning these Chinese companies from its market; at least with this story, the administration can publicly play the blame game of, ‘well, China’s doing it too, and they’ve been doing it for a long time.’”

U.S. companies like Google and Facebook have been blocked from operating in China for several years.
I follow several artists and get lovely art that I wouldn't otherwise have seen, and wouldn't have sought out.

I follow several people in the game development industry, and historically used to see a lot of interesting technical articles being shared on Twitter within this community. That seems to have declined unfortunately, though there is still some.

I follow various people who have a habit of posting dumb funny jokes (usually puns) and memes. Not everyone likes that style of humour, but I do.

I mute or unfollow people if too many of the things they choose to share are things I don't want to see (like outrage bait).

This a hack. Very clever. No excuse anymore.
Google is still selling ads in China, so monetization doesn't appear to be considered problematic.
One thing I've learned over the years using a lot of different languages is to pretty much ignore my initial reaction to syntax or formatting conventions for any given language - there is a pain period and then you get used to things and move on...

Edit: I'm particularly thinking of PostScript, Lisp and Python - which on first impression seemed crazy but I actually learned to really like.
You're not going to do much outward communication with a receive-only SDR though. Not really hacking as much as listening.
