I have left Intel couple of years ago, that's exactly what passwords were used for. It was pretty annoying to try to send files and putting them in encrypted archive wast the most convenient method.

It was not just for binaries but for scripts, html, etc.
While I do like the new wave of the structured shells(elvish, uxy, nushell, crush, etc...), I don't think anything will actually succeed unless there's a big change in the operating system.

(I'm not suggesting these aren't valuable - these are valuable experiments, but I'm saying for them to succeed, a new OS is needed.)

The native OS doesn't really embrace structured communication, and so commands will still have to treat the structured shell as a second-level citizen.

In an ideal world, for the structured shell to work, 'npm list' should return a table (or whatever the native data structure is) and you should be able to do 'npm list | where {deduped==false}'. In the real world, 'npm list' won't support the structured shell, so you would be writing 'npm list --json | jq '<obscure commands>' | json:from | where {deduped==false}'. And then 'npm list | grep -v 'deduped' is more simpler, so you don't really feel the advantages of the structured shell.

I think for this to be solved, the OS's primary communication system should be structured, so you can guarantee that every command will be a table. Then the programmers for the tools of that OS will output a table, and the users will be able to take advantage of this. Until then... it's basically a fun experiment.
An impossible fantasy to be sure, but one which the second amendment people love to talk up at every opportunity.

The reason that people whinge about is MBAs is all in the name Masters in Business Administration. They're great at doing business administration. They can drive SG&A costs down to 7% of revenue or they can optimize your inventory strategy to make sure you've always already sold all your products before you have to pay to have them made. Stuff like that. Which has a role in the business. The problem is that that's not the priority of a business that's growing, that's the priority of a business that is shrinking or declining.

We had fairly strict measures and are relatively OK (a bit over 2000 cases, 81 deaths). Our neighoubrs in Latvia were less strict but are have a bit fewer cases per 1mil population and 1/4 deaths per million.
I guess, like China, USA is becoming authoritarian state. It is not about reciprocity. USA was considered the beacon of success and role model compared to China. Recent actions by USA justify other countries to do the same against foreign products and services. USA has no leg to stand on when other countries block US products and services. Good luck creating new Apple, Google, and Facebook scale companies.
And China has a massive 5th column based here already, especially in tech.

The whole reason Apple let a Chinese company manage their customers' data is because the Chinese government changed the law to forbid them operate those kind of cloud services for Chinese customers themselves, the same reason other companies like Amazon have to let Chinese companies run their version of AWS: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-apple-icloud-insigh...

"In a statement, Apple said it had to comply with recently introduced Chinese laws that require cloud services offered to Chinese citizens be operated by Chinese companies and that the data be stored in China. It said that while the company’s values don’t change in different parts of the world, it is subject to each country’s laws."

Also note how the Chinese government effectively set up and runs this company, so the government more or less forced Apple to give their Chinese operations to them.
If I understand correctly, the mRNA vaccines have the added benefit that there are no existing antibodies that destroy the modified virus, like the adenovirus vaccines.

Sure, the Oxford vaccine uses an adenovirus that is not present in humans outside Africa, but when they try to make a second vaccine, based on the same adenovirus, people who took the COVID-19 vaccine might not be protected.

So while not tested, mRNA might be a much better bet for the future, because we will be able to develop vaccines much faster and not have to search for a new virus vector each time a new vaccine is developed.

In some ways, it is worse. At least the participants in a social media chat are volunteers. Cameras everywhere in cars with uploads to a central facility could be used to spy on the general public without their knowledge or consent.

Some people will probably argue at this point that there is no right to privacy in a public place. I disagree on both moral and pragmatic grounds with such an absolute statement in light of modern technologies and what privacy means (or should mean) now, but more importantly, the culture and laws in some parts of the world disagree too.

Restricting uploads of dash cam footage would be a rational response to that situation.
The verve with which you enforce lethal consequences on people who break the rules to survive, must be equally matched with a verve for helping those in need. Many of these people aren't illegally fishing for pleasure.
This thread is about the US govt banning foreign companies for no justifiable reason. China sees the US abandon due process to screw over its companies and...? Somehow that leads to improved international legal norms. It doesn't make any sense.

I was able to use Google fine for many years before it was banned. It can get banned when you search for certain keywords, not arbitrary at all.

Google was about the only one I can think of that is not worse than their competitors, and their own product actually don't need much localization.

However, Google failed the growth part in China. Chinese users won't go ahead and set the default search engine to google.com on their own unless they already know about it, especially those don't know English. The homepage used by most Chinese are local websites like hao123 that would send traffic to Baidu

This isn't an argument. In most countries you have some local competitors that do better than global brands. Not every app has to be a global success to be highly profitable

Korea has KakaoTalk that's undefeated as the defacto chat app (and now search engine and payment provider). It's not doing well in every other place except Korea.

Japan has LINE as it's primary messenger, payment app, etc. It has some foot in other south-east asian countries but the strongpoint is still Japan.

> Second hand testimony is hearsay, if I'm not mistaken. And all firsthand witnesses to the most common faiths founders are all long dead. And few if any of them were literate.

Considering that most of their claims are either disproven (faith healing) or unfalsifiable (hell, Eden, etc) there's nothing tangible to gain and plenty for marginalized groups to lose.

I said first hand, to all of that and more.

> No doubt you've been taught some of the mental gymnastics like confirmation bias, survivorship bias, and appeals to authority to 'prove' some personal experience or establish "the truth". In fact you suggest that because those beliefs are popular somehow they are more legitimate. Well, humans believed the world was flat for most of history. Yet I've flown around it without ever reaching the edge.

I am well aware of cognitive biases. You as well should beware just because modern intellectuals hold a certain view as popular,you should take it as fact. It was the intellectuals of the time that burned galileo. You're right, popularity does not serve as evidence. However, popularity should drive you to critically analyze your beliefs and the popular belief while being aware of your own biases. You're not enlightened just because you believe what modern science says.

Whatever the truth is, you should not hold on to it very strongly not giving room for lies.

Author’s opinion on rust:

"I really really enjoy using Rust. It is nearly everything I want in a systems programming language, and the few parts it's missing are due to legitimate technical difficulty. The amount of careful thought I've seen put into its design – crafting async/await to work in no_std environments, or the new inline assembly syntax – has produced a language that is not only better than what I could have designed, it's better among axes I was not even aware existed prior to reading the Rust RFCs."
RequestPostAnimationFrame
No, it's really not.

A better analogy than the language one: Your web app has to run on Firefox, Chrome, and... IE6 yay! You're not allowed to use any modern Javascript, or most of the API's you'd like to use.

Because being able to switch to IE6 at any point in development is more useful than any of those fancy-dancy API's, right?

I've found a number of correspondences between Oceania and Plato's Republic, but am unsure if there was any direct correspondence intended, or if Orwell's tragic satire of society at his boarding school[1] only indirectly implies them, due to ancient greek influence on edwardian mores.

Being a second rate boarding school, they never read greek or latin works whole (and thus presumably were spared the most cynical, least copybook, bits about power, e.g. δυνατὰ δὲ οἱ προύχοντες πράσσουσι καὶ οἱ ἀσθενεῖς ξυγχωροῦσιν?) but were merely "taught to the test."
> I think for this to be solved, the OS's primary communication system should be structured

You mean the STDOUT format of all processes? I disagree. `npm list --json` already does what you want. Your only argument is that ` | jq '<obscure commands>' | json:from | where {deduped==false}` is too obscure. The solution is (probably) a simplified `jq` that has the query format you want. Problem solved. Keep it simple.
Creative destruction is how capitalism is supposed to work. Bankruptcy is a vital part of the system - and far from "crash-and-burn" it's a well-regulated process with a lot of safeguards in place. If you stop allowing companies to go bankrupt then you end up with a crony capitalism that's not much different from oligarchy.

Well Tesla's sentry mode and sensor suite that is connected to the internet could actually pose a massive security risk. I wouldn't be surprised if they were banned from entering military installations and other sensitive areas, not that Germany has that many of them that aren't open to US military personnel.
No, "American Civil War II" is an absolute nightmare scenario.

I would go as far as to say we're in a cold one right now.

I would not have imagined this possible four years ago, but now, given the level of division... yeah, it appears to be on the table.

That's cause for fairly grave concern, by the way.

Imagine that the election goes into a toss-up. Which it likely will. Both parties have been laying the groundwork to contest the election, between claims of "voter suppression" and "voter fraud".

I don't think either team would accept anything other than an absolute landslide victory from the other side. And even then, maybe not.

I could see the Western seaboard (plus Hawaii) seceding in the case of a Trump victory. In the case of a Biden victory, I'd expect years of domestic insurgency, which I'd still call a "civil war".

Either way, I don't see any way out for the US right now that isn't outright ugly.

I very, very much hope I'm wrong, of course, and that things calm down after November (regardless of who wins).
Yeah, show them the power of the free world by checks notes banning all their apps, which is only constitutionally possible because the app stores are controlled by two American companies, and the ban technically works on the companies rather than banning the apps directly, proving the value of a sophisticated Western legal system!!!

I'd say among both libs and conservatives alike there's a huge drive to find loads of random specs of stupidity in a nation of hundreds of millions to be outraged about which serves to both vilify and build a strawman of the opposition whilst fuelling a victim-complex.

For my own personal reason: I lost interest due to countless problems, the hours of endless tinkering and simply that macOS is not that far ahead anymore. It has some nice things, but ubuntu is very stable now a days. Sleep works, wifi works, and even games are decent on a powerful linux box. Apple dropped the ball on macOS and the hardware remained very expensive.

> Both the mortality rate and the long term impacts of COVID19 are both real

If you're a healthy adult, your risk of dying or being affected by any long-term effects of the virus is about two magnitudes less than the risk for people who are 70+ or have any of the comorbidities.

I am a healthy adult, I am neither obese nor a diabetic, I don't smoke, I don't belong to any of the risk groups. For me, the risk of dying of covid-19 is in the ballpark of 1:100000, and decreasing, because we're getting better and better at treating the disease. If I catch the virus, I am overwhelmingly likely to suffer as much as I would of a common cold.

Those are the numbers that any vaccine has to beat in order for me to consider getting it. Provably beat. I'd rather wait until you and a couple of million people have had the vaccine before even thinking about getting it, thank you very much.

Some years ago I worked in $BIGBANK and auditor from $GOVERMENT told as to change street name property from textfield to dropdown (for all countries) to help them with fraud detection, and remove all diacritic characters from client names their new software don't like them.

Pretending to know the answer and knowing the answer are differnt things. Countries tried different strategies and got wildly different results which not exactly correlate with the measures taken. Compare e.g. Lithuania and Latvia.

There is no point pretending that strict lockdown lasting weeks has no effect on public mental health. You will not get healthier, fitter and less traumatised population that way.

And here, despite the healtcare system not being overwhelmed by COVID patients, it was very difficult to get access to a doctor: exactly because of the lockdown measures. I will not a bit be surprised to see that the excess mortality for 2020 will be higher, but higher because of the cardiovacular, cancer, etc. patients, not because of COVID (81 death so far).

So yes, checking out whether the cure does more damage is very important.
This can be nicely compared with booking.com, where hotels get great benefits from the platform. Because market for hotels is so much different. You are not going to look for a doctor on the other side of country.

So if one wants to make an appointment/booking software, would have to look for things that would bring new customers. Helping with discovering places.

I think GP meant to imply that parts of the EU are effectively still US client states and not totally void of US influence on their politics. It's pretty common for top politicians in Germany to be part of some transatlantic organisation set up by the US ("Atlantikbrücke", ...).
