Thats completely wrong. Apple does not make money on users data. They sell protected, private devices and services. Google is direct opposite.
For use cases where one truly needs to put aesthetics and accessibility aside, and instead squeeze the gamut of possible colours to the max (eg, because one has to assign distinctive colours to dozens or hundreds of elements), I have a JS library which includes a method for that:

// We have a viz with 50 items; let's assign colours to those items:
import { palette } from 'supers';
const colours = new palette(50);
for (let i = 0; i < 50; i ++)
chart[i].css('color', '#' + colours.get(i, true));

It's not the US that is engaged in wars with all of it's neighbors over capturing territory. China is. For all those countries like Japan, Taiwan, India, etc, US is not a concern. China is the immediate threat. And China will not shy away from using all of it's assets in this case. The mandatory Party Commissar in every organization will ensure that the assets comply.
Are you familiar with how to implement a bytecode virtual machine using a jump table? Forth is pretty much that, but the jump table is extensible. I meant it very literally.

The fact that this is exposed inspires a certain way of programming, and this seems to be essential to the Forth way.

This isn't saying too much about the language itself.

Some companies (like Apple) make it impossible to repair your own device even if you have tools and skills because they ask vendors to not sell spare parts to third parties. For example if a charging IC dies you have an option to either send it to Apple and pay significant mark up for the 10 minute repair or throw away the device. You should be able to buy such chip and replace it without company involvement.
I hope that this practice will be illegal in the future.
If Oracle is just a tech partner, then how can they be 100% sure that Bytedance is going to replace all their infrastructure with Oracle’s? Bytedance could easily send spoof data to them.

In addition, since replacing infrastructure takes a lot of time, they could easily keep on delaying things until the election to see if Biden is voted into the White House.

> And others' interests do not extend?

Other countries simply don't have the power to project their interests globally. For example Iran doesn't assassinate top US generals with drones. I imagine they would like to, they just can't. If it ever became apparent that other countries were on track to developing tools that the US can't control, the US would simply strike preemptively (this applies to weapons, as well as economic matters - TikTok, Huawei etc.).

> Anyway, I question the factualality of the superpower status. The US wasn't able to impose its will on even a minor warlord such as Mohammed Farrah Aidid. He stayed, the US soldiers withdrew.

I don't know the case of Aidid specifically, so I can't comment on it. I do know however that if the US is interested enough in something to happen, that thing will happen almost certainly, almost anywhere. I can only assume that Somalia was not that important for US interests.

Why do you say "steamroll"? They came in because they were allowed in. Are you now making the case that protectionism is good and EU/UK should prefer their own while blocking foreign companies? If it was that easy then why wouldn't they just do it to encourage domestic activity?

Everyone is! And there are so many different ways to lose it. The most common reasons that lead to data loss on VMware virtual machines are:

Physical drive issues: an unexpected failure of the disk during use, or there is a pre-existing defect
RAID array corruption: in the moment of a blackout or because of a hardware malfunction
Software failure: due to conflicts with other software, including drivers or bad software updates
Attack from malicious software
Human error, like occasional deletion of system files

I personally never understood the value of ads. I subconsciously turn off my brain and press skip whenever I encounter any kind of ad because I know it was made to influence me into doing an action (and I don't want to waste any mental energy in evaluating whether I am being tricked or not). And most ads are bad:

https://twitter.com/JonErlichman/status/1304793136494006272

So to me the whole thing simply doesn't make sense, who actually did buy something from an ad?

The only signal I value for trying out (buying) new things comes from real people.

The privacy implications of storing so much personal data is the other question and that can be used for some bad things that isn't just serving ads. Would be nice to have a law for mandatary differential privacy for ad based social networks.

Perhaps I am losing out on ignoring all ads wholesale like that. I even sometimes put products that do 'a lot' of advertising in bad light and try to avoid them all together.

If you disagree with Apple and do not want to support them, "vote" with your wallet.

Android devices are more open than Apple devices, have more capabilities, and more vendors with a wider range of device offerings.

Purism, PinePhone, and others are even more open than Android, but the software offerings are much more sparse.

Apple devices are much more locked down, but offer a polished and curated user experience. While Apple devices are more expensive, they tend to maintain their value better and are generally supported with software updates for much longer than Android devices.

This comes off as a petty establishment dunk on an independent media source.

The first couple paragraphs make it clear that The NYT is still smarting from having been overshadowed by the Guardian and Intercept for the Snowden era leaks. The author gleefully dances on the conviction of Winner while lambasting the Intercept as having broken NewsRule No.1.

As seems to be the case with most of the NYTs stories in this year, the source for this article is concealed as well. NYT proposes that they have a couple pdfs of leaked internal emails that explain the internal tumult for this event. Two questions arise for this though: “Are we supposed to just blindly trust the NYT with their continued “anonymous sources” programme?”, and also “What of it?”

What of it that a public failure led to internal tumult in a firm? I’m sure it happens a lot at the NYT as well. Is this really what journalism has gotten to? Petty reporting about another outlets infighting?

Naively - I'm assuming that if it is (single-celled) life, and when we get a sample of it, there's two broad categories of options.

Either a) it's the same DNA - in which case some basic panspermia - some material bounced between Venus and Earth, in one or both directions, some billions of years ago, or b) it is demonstrably not the same structure as life on this planet, in which case statisticians get to have a field day.
My wife works at an institute for higher education that's allowed to call itself "university of applied sciences" abroad. Their board has come up with the silliest of policy documents over the summer, which can almost be summarized as "strive for high quality education, and keep safe", leaving all of the practical matters to be decided in 2 weeks time by the department heads. There didn't even think of some way to coordinate head counts among departments that share buildings. On their website's front page, there's a link "Corona virus -> read more", which gives a 404. That's a "university".

Those who can't, teach. And those who can't teach, apparently become director of education.

I expected Nvidia to first continue running ARM like it does now and then slowly push ARM+Nvidea chips whileeven more slowly hindering ARM+other GPU chips.

The end goal would be to make ARM+other GPU technical viable but non copetive so that most customers will have to buy ARM+Nvidea to be competive leading to a hard to touch quasi monopoly of Nvidea for android phones (maybe except cheap ones) and and embedded ML.

Oh and at some point they probably would restrict new "custom silicon" contacts to prevent something like Apple silicon from happening again.
> it's not just a fault of the language, but also neglect or lack of resources in fields where programming is secondary in nature.

A lack of resources for porting and maintaining code to new language versions is totally typical for most of science. There are simply no jobs or incentives to do that, especially if you want to have any kind of career in science.

Further, python developers seemed to think that the bulk of code and maintenance work is in the language implementation and that the many small libraries and scripts are not important. But this is not the case, similar to that in trees, a rather large part of the biomass is not in the trunk, but in the roots and leaves. And the small application scripts and libraries used in science change much more slowly than the main language revisions.

You could argue that this does not matter because most of python's applications are not in science, at least not if you look at the respective amount of money moved. But this fails to take into account that a lot of python's success was so far based on its use in science, especially numerical python and data analysis.

You are right to point that out, since it’s more a lack of knowledge from GP than of exportable culture. I’ll add to your comment that China exports for decades a of lot of cultural products like drama and songs in all East-Asia, where significant ethnical Chinese minorities reside and consume those media. Chinese is also a popular second language for people to learn in the West.

Thankfully, we already have a source of constantly changing pressure: the Moon! (Well, the Earth's rotation)

Since the Earth rotates around its own axis, you're oscillating closer to and further from the Moon every 24 hours. When you're "facing" the Moon, it's puling
you up (from the Earth). When you're away from the moon (on the opposite end of the Earth) it's pulling you down (toward the Earth).

This (along with other factors) causes tides. And tides are already used to generate power.[1] Including using the piezo-electric effect (not sure how with what efficiency, though).

Highly urbanized population like China's doesn't want to procreate that much, whether the government has stimulating policies or not. If said population is wealthy (which is more and more the case with China), policies are even less effective - people already have what they need.

Saying that, best bet for China seems to be counting on rural population, and investing heavily in their education.

Re signalling - apart from simple education, going to an elite college also gives softer skills. For example increased confidence, social skills, networking opportunities, training in etiquette and behaviour or manners, and better alumini connections which could be utilised later on. Elite colleges may have better extra curricular activities too, a better gym maybe, or better equipped clubs, enabling students of the same intelligence to have other benefits than just education.

Now, here's the kicker. Signalling is not about a better education. These soft skills are the primary thing that is being signalled. The signal is: "going to an elite place produces better more rounded individuals".

You can go to an elite school and not gain any of the actual softer skills and stay in your room all day but you would still benefit from the signalling!

Ok tell me how white supremacy and police brutality is a problem in let's say... Japan? A country with basically no white population or violence of any kind. Americans may be shocked to find out that whites are actually a very underrepresented group in global terms and there are a lot of countries where white people are in such a minority that basically all of them are immigrants.

They explicitly state that these issues are global and thus must be an issue in every country. Sure you can pick a few countries where there are big issues, since there is a lot of them. But there are also a lot of countries where it isn't a big issue. These countries, like Japan, may have other issues but not explicitly those stated.

This is definitive proof that they are pushing a specific, american political agenda where you paint with big brushes over the entire world. It's also objectively and demonstratively false. My country for example, Sweden, rather have the opposite issue of police brutality, the police basically use too little force and this creates a bunch of issues where criminality reign rampant.

Kraftwerk is plenty abstract, they just put a very slick sauce over it and were much better at marketing themselves and running a business.

Some digging around turned this up:

"Obviously inspired by artists like the Silver Apples German artists/musicians Conrad Schnitzler and Hans-Joachim Roedelius started The Zodiak Free Arts Lab in an old building in West Berlin in the Halleschen Ufer, Kreuzberg. In fact it was (and still is) a theatre called the Schaubühne but at night the duo could use parts of the building.

The Zodiak was sub-divided into two main performance areas, one of which was painted completely white and the other completely black, and was filled with all kinds of instruments, amps and speakers which people could more or less do with as they pleased. Here, musicians were allowed to experiment with free jazz, psychedelic rock and avant-garde styles. Conventional forms of music were frowned upon: a phrase frequently used to describe the spirit of the times was that "songs were considered bourgeois."

Among the many artists and bands who passed through the Zodiak in their early days were Ash Ra Tempel, Geräusche (Noises), Plus/Minus, Curly Curve, Per Sonore, Human Being, The Agitation later Agitation Free, Klaus Schulze and, most significantly, Tangerine Dream. The club played an important role in the development of a style of music that would later be called krautrock. Acts like Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Amon Düül, Can and Neu all originated from the lab and would take up tape loops and synthesizers as an important part of their act. "

The timing works out just about right, and I hear a lot of 'Autobahn' in 'Oscillations'. It'd be nice if someone asked while there is still a chance.
