In Poland the transition happened quite quickly (the authorities barely had time to burn a lot of the documents) so I don't think there was time to do any widespread document planting. Plus, if you plant some documents they'd had to be consistent with all other records or it would be found out upon investigation (there's a special state-run institute in Poland which hires a bunch of historians who analyze those records, so it's a real possibility).

So what? If you're alive now, if you survived the initial wave of the virus, the risk to you, now, of getting the virus is much less than it was back in March.

And if you're trying to figure out if the risk of the vaccine is worth it to you later this year, you have to weigh it against the risk of dying from covid-19 at that point in time, not what the risk of dying from it was back in March.

Misleading headline. From the article:

> Based on these data, it is plausible to hypothesize that pre-existing cross-reactive HCoV CD4+ T cell memory in some donors could be a contributing factor to variations in COVID-19 patient disease outcomes, but this is at present highly speculative

Also I recommend to read this:

Doctors can’t do that ethically, but people could spread it among themselves. It’s the chickenpox-party solution. I don’t think it’s practical though given how easy it is to confuse another Coronavirus for Covid symptoms.
Unequal? You’re suggesting that blocking just monetary transactions with two companies is somehow worse than the thousands of sites blocked in China?
Yes I think that's reasonable. From an economic perspective what matters is the employment, goods and services the enterprise generates. Good management should be rewarded with equity and profits, bad management or poorly exercised ownership loses out. Nobody is owed a profit, but if they get the job right they are entitled to it.
How can "similar US based social networks" pose a national security risk to the US?

They might pose a national security risk to China. And that's why all the US-based social networks are banned in China.

Also, the US intelligence agencies could have just validated these public claims by themselves[1]:

> For what it's worth I've reversed the Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter apps. They don't collect anywhere near the same amount of data that TikTok does, and they sure as hell aren't outright trying to hide exactly whats being sent like TikTok is. It's like comparing a cup of water to the ocean - they just don't compare.

And the US and India are not the only countries with deep concerns here. The investigations into TikTok's data collection practices have also been launched by the governments of Australia, Japan, Turkey, Indonesia, Pakistan, and the EU[2].

The only thing that matters is long-term consequences. This could be war, but literally nobody wants that, least of all China. It also could be beating China down on its knees, and forcing it to free its people and its markets. That would be a remarkable outcome (not sure Trump can get there, though - I expected something in this direction in his dealings with North Korea, but he dropped the ball... I don't know, maybe he just got bored?)
Wow this is awesome news. I always wondered how the internals could work. Can’t wait to take a peak...

Yes, but in the event of a highly disputed election, which government?

(I don't think all the stuff above is very likely, because I think the Trump hold on power is a lot shallower than most, but I do think there's going to be polling station violence in some places, continuing conflict between federal and state law enforcement, and a lot of lawsuits after the election contesting individual vote counts, far more so than Bush vs Gore. Especially over postal ballots.)

This article has good advice, but doesn't really help me. I actually really want to use Twitter more, but I cannot get over the fact that most of the people I find interesting post 20% interesting stuff, but 80% in-jokes, casual conversations, or memes. This is fine for the people who post once a day, but if there are 10s of them per day I get sick of it.

I don't know how I'm meant to deal with this other than just blindly trusting Twitter's algorithm of what ends up on my home feed (which I don't really want to). Maybe what I want is for Twitter to differentiate between announcement/public style posts and posts that are intended for a smaller community of followers, but that probably goes against the nature of the medium.

I hold myself responsible for this whenever I tweet something as well, but it seems like the only way to do it 100% is to make different accounts for different topics (e.g. one account for tech/programming, one for politics, and one for casual life stuff).
“Tit for tat”.

> I made no allusion to DMY and MDY being the only possibilities, because that would be ridiculous.

You did indeed. How else could you interpret this exchange?

>>> "01/02" does not translate to Jan 2nd in most of the world, because DMY is much more popular than MDY.

>> There's no year in 01/02. MD is more popular than DM.

> In which country do people use DMY, but also MD?

The only way to have that question make any sense at all is to assume that MDY and DMY are the only options. That certainly is ridiculous, but I'm not the one who said it.
Exploiting speculative dereferences to directly leak data stored in registers
This will be a niche product and for that I’m sceptical it’s sustainable on the long run. There’s no way this would even make a dent to Apple’s or Google’s marketshare.

Sure, it’s a nice device for tech-people, but general consumers will most likely not use this.
No. China's internet market has always been extremely competitive.

And there were some debates about why China could produce some big internet players and eventually it was generally accepted that for one China has a big, or is THE biggest single language market and the other one was because in the early 90s or 200s China's authorities, who were mostly older guys in their 40s or 50s and didn't know anything of internet at the time so they didn't regulate it but let China's and overseas players compete. It was then so many talented people returned from silicon valley like Charles Zhang and Robin Zhang and also some local guys like Jack Ma and Pony Ma of Tencent kicked off their startups. And it was those local guys who grew really big because they knew China better.

The local start ups even couldn't list in China's stock exchanges but had to go list in Nasdaq, HKEx or NYSE.

It was only when China's younger regulators took power they started to setup the GFW and all other policies. Until then it was wild west.
There's a very good case that the EU should limit both Chinese and US tech sector market access both for security reasons and to help build a viable European tech sector.

European data should be controlled in Europe, not on US or Chinese clouds and subject to the CLOUD Act and its Chinese equivalent. Lack of data sovereignty is a major threat to European sovereignty in general.

Confiscating the economic value of existing non-EU tech sector firms in Europe, as the US is doing with TikTok and WeChat, isn't the best way to make this happen, however. Buying existing assets at market value is a fairer approach.

May I direct your attention to the Cultural Revolution? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution

The possibility is there.

> The US military is completely unified behind the preservation of the US government.

I agree! But what happens if the question of "Who is the commander-in-chief" becomes unclear?

That is the possibility that's on the table. If there's an absolutely clear victory in the next election and the loser steps down, then we're in way better shape.

Posse Comitatus remains intact, and factional violence is left in the hands of domestic law enforcement (whatever that looks like at the time).

Which is what I'm seriously hoping for.

But if not... once again, I'm amazed to even be considering that possibility, but it's there.
As a technical choice, that's true. So the argument shouldn't be hard to win, assuming you're dealing with reasonable people, who are also answering to reasonable people. Those people (e.g. the leadership) also need to care enough about that detail to just not dismiss your argument because making the change is not a problem for them. And they need to not be so security-oriented (in a naive way) as to consider a "safer" choice always a better one regardless of whether there's a reasonable argument for it or not.

That's more assumptions than it is sometimes reasonable to make.

"You don’t actually need to listen to auditors" is decidedly not true for a lot of people in a lot of situations, and arguing even for technically valid or reasonable things is an endurance sport in some organizations.

I mean, I even kind of want to agree with heavenlyblue's argument that you should fight that fight for the exact reason they're saying, and can see myself arguing the same thing years ago, but at least in case of some organizations, blaming people for taking skissane's stance would be disproportionate.
Skype / Microsoft Teams and iMessage work in China. So being American owned communicators / subject to American espionage are not sufficient to get banned in China.
I agree bailouts should not benefit shareholders, but it can be pragmatic to rescue businesses, including banks, that are systemically important. That may mean the government temporarily assuming equity in, or ownership of the enterprise. The important thing is that it's the interests of the economy that are being safeguarded, not those of investors.
Not really. There are other developing economies with serious tech sectors like India which operate according to the rules based open market system we have in place.

If the US doesn't take action against Chinese protectionism, why should other countries abide by the rules and give US access to their markets? The US provides China it's market even though China closes it down for everyone.

I think US being soft on China sets a bad precedent.
One of the tweets in the article says Github is open-source: it's not.
>There's almost universal support by the Japanese people for their extremely restrictive immigration policy

Can you point to some statistics on that, please?

>probably the most restrictive first world country

If you can get hired by a Japanese company (and some do accept applications from overseas), they will sponsor your work visa. There's none of this H1-B style nonsense. After you're in Japan, if you've been there continuously for five years (which, mind you, is a smaller period of time than any country I can name OTOH), you can apply for citizenship, and again as far as I know, it's not a ridiculous waiting list/lottery style process. In what way is this nearly as restrictve as you're saying?

It's also not difficult at all to get into Japan by applying to an English teaching company (eikaiwa or ALT jobs) from overseas (where they recruit from), and all you need is any Bachelor's degree. You'll have a valid work visa and you can be shipped out within months. Try doing the same as a Japanese teacher applying to teach in the US (or many other countries, for that matter). Browse tech job listings for Japanese companies on major job boards in the West. Almost all of them note that they'll be happy to sponsor your work visa.

This game of prettying up the language to make it seem nice and friendly, while maintaining the otherness that daily affects people (groups which the other reply to you here has pointed out) with language like "xenophilic restrictionist" does nobody favours.

And if there is support for such policies, and in particular bent on nihonjinron notions and race perceptions, I must be insane, but I'm going to go ahead and call "the Japanese people" racist. Being "incredibly welcoming to tourists" doesn't mean anything if you want to work and live there. It misses the whole point of the discussion, and waves away systemic issues with a gloss of "they're good to tourists". We're not talking about tourists. I don't care how much they are able to enjoy Western comedians. I care how receptive they are to people integrating and living in their society like everyone else, as the Japanese constitution guarantees should be possible.

At the risk of stirring the pot a little (and only because I couldn't think of a better analogy), you may as well say no country has race problems, because after all, members of the majority race might frequently listen to music by, and watch films featuring, the minority race. That doesn't mean anything in terms of how the minority race is treated, and it's a farcically ignorant point to make. So sorry if I see the same sort of logic in nebulous feelgood terms like "xenophilic restrictionism".
Your shell is not for me. Here's why.

1) I don't want shell to be full-blown high level programming language. POSIX, Bash scripts/languages are enough for my shell uses.

2) For anything high level or for tasks shell would become complex, We do have dozens of fully matured languages. I would rather use those instead of this/any shell script.

3) Features desirable for shell include syntax highlighting, autosuggestions,command-not-found helper,tab autocomplete, flag complete. My shell already has it.

4) I like bash and zsh as shell. Bash is simple,i like it,but it doesn't have few features that i mentioned. So,I don't use bash as my main shell. zsh also is compatible with most bash/POSIX and it has all tte features that i mentioned in (3).fish also has these features but it's syntax is different which i don't tend to use. So,i don't use fish. zsh has all features that i like in fish too(mentioned in (3)) .
Thanks for sharing.

Ted is a great thinker for sure but not so good at realising his ideas. He had envisaged a tool for documenting his own multi-dimensional thinking / writing and therefore would not compromise or build something simpler for everyone. Like many unfinished projects complexity and the desire for perfection was the downfall of project Xanadu. I think Roger Gregory [1] deserves some kudos for trying to implement these ideas.

Tim Berners-Lee will be remembered as the man that successfully implemented the first hypertext system in 1989. I do not think Ted ever got over this. Ted however will be remembered for his ideas.
When it comes to masks, that very much is the case
Is it bad that I read that as the "Nordstrom Completion", and was wondering why the Europeans needed more overpriced fashion items?
The interesting observation is the relation between the highest death rate (100/day) and current very low death rate of zero to a couple per day 2. This is without significant change in policy, mask use etc.

It’s hard to measure behavior but nothing suggests people have less contact now than in March (more contact is more likely, but on the other hand it’s now more contact outdoors compared to spring).
Yeah, "unequal" doesn't make sense. How about "hypocritical". By doing this the US loses a lot of its footing to criticize China's behavior. The US is supposed to be the land of the free, but this looks less than free.
With stuff like this being exfiltraded (let’s admit if hackers got this they prob could have a whole ton of fab secrets) it won’t be long until America’s IP is all in the hands of China/Russia/Europe.

That's directly contradicted by the success of media exports from China lately, already in Asia but it's beginning to cross the language barrier into English Youtube, despite the firewall. In fact it shows it's money and competition that matter, and there is plenty of both in China.
I don't have any experience or insights of it, but the very first thing that came up to my mind is: frame glasses.

I've heard multiple times already that price margins are huge at that one, and nobody are determined enough to offer lower prices for them.

But that's only what I've heard from here and there, I'm not into that topic "that much" to confirm that - OP asked for some suggestions, so I gave one ;)
Yeah, I can't imagine that the KGB or the local security services ever thought they would really lose control of their archives. Though I imagine there would have been some effort to pull the files on anyone they wanted to keep as an intelligence asset in the long term.
But the big difference is that Amazon still controls aws in China, the product, the brand, the IP. And aws is developed employees in Seattle. It's just operated by the Chinese company. The Chinese company deal with servers, deployment, accesses to the servers and stuff. Amazon also get a significant share of revenue from that market. That is totally different from US gov forcing Bytedance to sell tiktok. Bytedance will no longer own tiktok. It's will have 0 shares. Zero control and no revenue sharing. Technically Microsoft can do whatever they want with tiktok in the future.

This is the same guy who loudly proclaims Apple moved away from Intel because of bugs in Skylake and subsequent (x)lake.

That is um..... a very CPU designer preoperative to say the least. And has been rebutted by other industry experts.

At the end of the day, none of this matters. Would better SMT performance, Single Thread Performance, Higher Clock Speed, AVX512, etc etc matter if Intel cant deliver?

It is also strange that he mentions die area concern. That is the least concern of Intel because they are vertically integrated. The cost accounting is entirely different to TSMC.

But yes, MBAs were the problem. It started when Andy Bryant became the Chairman and the Patrick Gelsinger was pushed out.

TL;DR:

I tried to sell HIBP for a nice premium to make profit of data breaches, but because the sale fell through And I’m not going to make as much money from HIBP as I’d like, I lost interest in maintaining it and therefore now rebrand it as if it was always a community project, so other people can work on it now.

Exactly. This is common with shell scripting languages. They feel like some awful duct tape, when in fact the perfect primitive for joining separate concerns already exists (the pipe). Using a nicer language (like modern JS) to perform procedural logic makes perfect sense to me.
