> what surprised me is that the few renders where they showed a tooth gap that matched the photo quite well

So seeing this I had a thought and went back to look. It looks like the renders either have a tooth gap or a closed mouth (and in one case the actual photo had a closed mouth) - could their model just add a tooth gap regardless, or did I just miss one without?
You can't compare a Finnish city/municipality with a German one. In Germany it's often 5-6 km to the next municipality. In Finland it's 5-6 km to the next residential area in the (few) big cities.

I'd guess the coverage of bike paths in Freiburg and Oulu might be very similar. It's the cities that are not comparable. Finnish municipalities often have the size of German county (Landkreis), but not even the population of a German city.

(I have lived in Germany and Finland. But have never visited Freiburg and it's decades that I biked in or even visited Oulu the last time.)

Is this to be interpreted as a political message in light of the upcoming elections?

It certainly doesn't sound very insightful and he should know better. China has perfected the schooling system and employee discipline, this gives them a considerable advantage. US schools and colleges are a politicized mess, kids are distracted by "diversity" and other decadent but useless ideas. Perhaps it's hard to see through the eyes of someone who hired only from top universities (though they are messed up too), but I don't believe his statement was actually honest.
Are you Procter and Gamble??

The argument for and against reusable is pretty much undecided. There also services which do the washing for you. And they are probably way more efficient than people washing at home in terms of energy used.

Anyhow, real eco-parents go diaper-less as most parents in the world. Google split-pants, elimination communication! Compared to this letting children sitting in their own feces in reusable or not-reusable nappies is pretty unhygienic.

Downvotes? I know it is a big leap for the western mind, that most human ever lived have never seen a nappy. There is a lot of problems with diapers e.g. rash etc.
Twenty years after the dotcom crash, is tech’s bubble about to burst again?
It's probably worth remembering the history of C - it didn't appear fully formed, lots of stuff evolved as people used it - for example in V6 Unix += used to be =+.

In particular you used to use structures in a weird way, essentially field names within structures lived in their own global name space, any pointer could be used with any structure - there weren't unions yet so this was used for good effect in Unix kernel drivers (there was a standard buffer queue header you could add your own stuff at the end of.

I think this was kind of descended from the BCPL/Bliss world view where explicit pointers were a relatively new thing in languages and their typing was pretty simple (there was a limit to the number of indirections allowed) - fully orthogonal typing systems were only just becoming a thing then.

Also I suspect that the idea that a[i] was the same as a+i was an idea with legs, this is still legal C:

char *x()
{
int i; char *p;
return &i[p];
}

It made financial sense for ARM's board to sell to SoftBank; it makes financial sense for SoftBank to sell to NVIDIA; it makes financial and strategic sense for NVIDIA to buy ARM; it makes financial and strategic sense for NVIDIA to radically change the way the ARM ecosystem works to benefit themselves.

And yet, the world will lose out massively by having the ARM ecosystem radically changed to benefit NVIDIA.

Capitalism certainly does a lot to create value for society as a whole, but this is just one of many examples of where capitalism also destroys value for society as a whole.

This applies to a lot more people than you think, and regardless of whether they're a minority or not (whatever that even means anymore). Also even if your family does want to support you, the rates are far higher than what middle-class can realistically contribute.

For every young programmer learning Rust there are probably 10000 learning C.

C is still the only language you can count on anyone with a programming-related education to have knowledge of. (That doesn't translate into being able to program is C, but still.)
Or maybe not. It's not like they are lacking contributors and using addictive systems to attract people isn't the most ethical thing, plus I seriously question the quality of the contributors.
That’s the cynical perspective.

The flip side is that the US has traditionally attracted the best talent in the world. This class has gone on to win the most Nobel prizes and create the most valuable companies in the world. Focusing on a real negative externality (labor arbitrage) fails to recognize the immense benefits skilled immigrants bring to this country.

I’m a son if one of them. My dad came this country in the 60s to get his masters in math at BYU. Probably the only South Asian in the entire class. He overcame extreme poverty,(half of his siblings died in childhood), disabilities to go on and achieve so much. I benefit from his achievements and being a US citizen.

That being said, we’re losing our preeminence due to growing xenophobia and a strident “might is right” worldview. But it doesn’t have to be this way - we can embrace our shared humanity while still competing on the global stage for talent.

The main threat to the planet is CO2 and human generated climate change.

How many people can find, and understand, the information about CO2 use across the total life of disposable nappies Vs cotton nappies?

EDIT: here's an example analysis. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

It's 37 pages of detailed information that looks at the total life-cycle.

> The average 2006 disposable nappy would result in a global warming impact of approximately 550kg of carbon dioxide equivalents used over the two and a half years a child is typically in nappies. The global warming impact from disposable nappies use has decreased since the previous study due to manufacturing changes and a 13.5 per cent reduction in the weight of nappies.

> The report highlights that the manufacture of disposable nappies has greater environmental impact in the UK than their waste management by landfill.

> For reusable nappies, the baseline scenario based on average washer and drier use produced a global warming impact of approximately 570kg of carbon dioxide equivalents. However, the study showed that the impacts for reusable nappies are highly dependent on the way they are laundered.

> Washing the nappies in fuller loads or line-drying them outdoors all the time (ignoring UK climatic conditions for the purposes of illustration) was found to reduce this figure by 16 per cent. Combining three of the beneficial scenarios (washing nappies in a fuller load, outdoor line drying all of the time, and reusing nappies on a second child) would lower the global warming impact by 40 per cent from the baseline scenario, or some 200kg of carbon dioxide equivalents over the two and a half years, equal to driving a car approximately 1,000 km.

> In contrast, the study indicated that if a consumer tumble-dried all their reusable nappies, it would produce a global warming impact 43 per cent higher than the baseline scenario. Similarly, washing nappies at 90°C instead of at 60°C would increase global warming impact by 31 per cent over the baseline. Combining these two energy intensive scenarios would increase the global warming impact by 75 per cent over the baseline scenario, or some 420kg of carbon dioxide equivalent over the two and a half years.

> The environmental impacts of using shaped reusable nappies can be higher or lower than using disposables, depending on how they are laundered. The report shows that, in contrast to the use of disposable nappies, it is consumers’ behaviour after purchase that determines most of the impacts from reusable nappies.

> Cloth nappy users can reduce their environmental impacts by:

• Line drying outside whenever possible.
• Tumble drying as little as possible.
• When replacing appliances, choosing more energy efficient appliances (A+ rated machines are preferred).
• Not washing above 60°C.
• Washing fuller loads.
• Reusing nappies on other children.

It's not a simple calculation.
I kinda agree with you.

But the issue I see is that innovation is a bit like herding cats. You can't really push for it. And even in the US, most of it is located on 2 cities. And of course, being on SV it is much easier to get you a check for 10Mi dollars for a worse idea than 1Mi or even 100k in Europe

I don't see China's "innovation" as being much that (maybe except in AI and maybe ByteDance is a new thing, still) but more scaling up known solutions (ecommerce, fb on steroids in the form of wechat, etc) and market protection.
If you deal with unequal trade "partners" like China that grossly disregard any intellectual property, don't care about labor security and environmental standards and as a result have a massive trade surplus not based on innovation but mostly based on cheap labor you have to draw a line at some point.

The biggest "ball" that was dropped on innovation in the US was to allow companies to outsource their manufacturing to mainland china.
Why stop there ? It'll make financial sense for previous users of ARM license to start looking for alternatives ( such as riscV) and create more competition in the field.
Which ultimately benefits to the people as a whole.

At least that's the theory of capitalism..
It would make sense to take special considerations into account, such that e.g., families with babies have a higher garbage quota than others.

Where I live, the town actually implements a variation of this: if you have a child under 3, you can apply for a "diaper subsidy" to your garbage fee, offered by the town, because they assume that you will need more bins emptied than other households (in general, you pay for how many times your bin gets emptied).
Many if not most of the embedded/long term systems are implemented in C. If a variable is declared signed, overflowing cases may and often are "optimized" away.

IIUC, GP's foo() would likely be optimized to { return true; }, and so would similar timestamp overflow checks.
Totally agreed on this. Small teams are actually at an inherent advantage due to being small enough to be completely aligned with each other, but not big enough that processes hinder them from creative output and bold ideas.

In the post I talk about how we moved from the mindset of "only doing things as the 2 of us" to "having a team of 5-15 people will could get us 100x farther" :)

> Are you arguing that all labor laws, workplace safety laws, minimum wage laws, anti-compete laws and so on should be repealed?

The implication being that without such laws, enslavement of children, poisoning and maiming of workers, and other horrors would be totally legal in America?

Perhaps the real problem is the mess that occurs when governments recognize and try to control abstractions like corporations to protect people from liability.
There‘s not enough funding and risk money in europe to play the game with the big ones. Europe is sadly completely risk averse. You only get big money if it is sure you succeed.
Until those apolitical bodies become institutionalized and perceived by some people as being an expression of an elite caste and then a new political current arises to galvanize people against "elites" and poasibly takes over one of the existing parties (or creates a new one, depending on the country specific political and election rules)
Also true of StackOverflow and "Google ignores my keywords" complaints. People almost never provide the examples, despite claiming it is a daily occurrence.
6 Actually Useful Coding Project Ideas You Can Start Working on Today
Since you are curious I will try to answer with a bit of a tangent :) But, in short, the real problem is the unintended edits that happen at the same time. Because if you mutate a bunch of stuff in a cell, you will probably end up giving the patient cancer. 99% efficiency is good, but not really essential for many gene therapies.

Something Cas9 does really well is find the sequence you program it to look for, and then bind super tightly to it. You can even change your Cas9 so it will no longer break the DNA. Once you do this, Cas9 cannot edit the DNA by itself, but you can add a second enzyme to it that is able to change a single base of DNA from one letter to another. In theory this means you could target a single nucleotide somewhere in the ~3 billion letters of the genome. We call this changed Cas9 "base editor". It is much more refined than the crude DNA breakage of Cas9, since base editor will initiate only one time of edit in the genome (a single letter flipped from A to G or C to T). But it will still have unintended edits! It is pretty trivial to test for these in whole genome sequencing, and it turns out you will get plenty of them.

Another problem, which might seem more important, but I think is a much easier fix in the medium term (~10 years). Is that base editor will actually target a region of about 5-6 bases around the intended target and will happily flip those bases too. So you are unlikely to get just your intended mutation. Some of your cells will also get other mutations in the same spot. The reason this is less concerning in the long term is that I think this can be fixed with optimisation of the base editor protein. The off target effects are much more difficult to prevent.

As an example of the cultural difference you're talking about: I don't think this is social cohesion. This is highly intrusive: people interfering with other peoples' lives, constantly scrutinising and fault-finding, and sticking their noses in where they don't belong. To me it sounds absolutely intolerable.

Let's be honest, if there's no second wave that's stronger than the first wave during winter, there's no rational reason to not go "back to normal".

All the data we have now shows that even unmitigated COVID-19 spread is not dramatically worse than a strong flu season, with the difference that COVID-19 kills far less younger and otherwise healthy people.

Even the argument that "we have a Influenza vaccine!" doesn't really cut it, because those vaccines are only 50% effective on average.

Of course, there are plenty of irrational reasons not to go "back to normal". I wouldn't be surprised if these were to prevail.

Governments around the world have just been handed powers they never knew they had, and I'm not talking about the power to do lockdowns.

I'm talking about the peoples of the free world demonstrating that they can easily be scared into compliance, that they will follow the dominant narrative, that they're ready to denounce their neighbors for infractions of rules "for the common good" - anything you would expect in a totalitarian regime works just as well in liberal democracies.

> The anti-trust agreement Microsoft signed is part of the reason for that massive boom in prosperity.

This history doesn't sound right to me. Microsoft languished for a decade after that agreement, completely missing out on the mobile revolution in the process. Their resurgence seems to have mostly occurred in the past 5-6 years (since Nadella took over), so it seems kind of odd to credit an anti-trust agreement signed 15 years prior.
Since you mention regulation, I think it is something to be proud of. GDPR, Germany saying hell-no to forced Facebook accounts, etc.

As for innovation? US isn't even top 10 when it comes to Nobel prize per capita (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Nobel_l...).

IKEA, SAP, Beretta, Airbus, Spotify, Linux, Prometheus, Grafana, Booking.com just from the top of my head of things that are proof of European innovation and tech sector.
Sure, but Google or Apple approved apps also have issues, if I remember right Microsoft updates lost user data, I think some Apple updates destroyed some users backups, Steam had a bug where it deleted all the user files.

So I think the focus should not be in locking users but in locking the apps in strong sandboxes.

Thank you for all your replyes but I notice you are ignoring a category of developers, you are only consider the ones that do it for making lot of money and ignoring people that do it for passion, as I said I see plenty of free stuff that is made for passion and shared with the community (like a small game, or a mod, or a "save cleaner/editor" tool), this communities are small and probably not that vocal but they exist - a strong sandbox and a giant warning when you install such an approved tool should be enough for this people.

If I may add, Apple allowed Fortnite and games with lootboxes or skins purchase, Apple gets 30% cut so they will not block this as long as they make big money. I know they are making some arcade but that is to handle teh case of games that have ads. it is a good way of Apple making more money and it will not stop the lootboxes, let me know if I missed something and Apple is blocking lootboxes or skin.gem,coin purchases.
