An interesting curiosity about Forth is the fact that the final stage of FreeBSD kernel bootstrapping, the loader program, contains a Forth interpreter. If you have a look in the /boot directory on a FreeBSD system, you will see quite a few files named with the extension "4th" there, and in the loader(8) man page we find among other things the following:

> loader [...] provides a scripting language that can be used to automate tasks, do pre-configuration or assist in recovery procedures. This scripting language is roughly divided in two main components. [...] The bigger component is an ANS Forth compatible Forth interpreter based on FICL, by John Sadler.

> [...]

> BUILTINS AND FORTH

> All builtin words are state-smart, immediate words. If interpreted, they behave exactly as described previously. If they are compiled, though, they extract their arguments from the stack instead of the command line.

> If compiled, the builtin words expect to find, at execution time, the following parameters on the stack:

> addrN lenN ... addr2 len2 addr1 len1 N

> where addrX lenX are strings which will compose the command line that will be parsed into the builtin's arguments. Internally, these strings are concatenated in from 1 to N, with a space put between each one.

> If no arguments are passed, a 0 must be passed, even if the builtin accepts no arguments.

> While this behavior has benefits, it has its trade-offs. If the execution token of a builtin is acquired (through ' or [']), and then passed to catch or execute, the builtin behavior will depend on the system state at the time catch or execute is processed! This is particularly annoying for programs that want or need to handle exceptions. In this case, the use of a proxy is recommended. For example:

> : (boot) boot;

> FICL

> FICL is a Forth interpreter written in C, in the form of a forth virtual machine library that can be called by C functions and vice versa.

> In loader, each line read interactively is then fed to FICL, which may call loader back to execute the builtin words. The builtin include will also feed FICL, one line at a time.

> The words available to FICL can be classified into four groups. The ANS Forth standard words, extra FICL words, extra FreeBSD words, and the builtin commands; the latter were already described. The ANS Forth standard words are listed in the STANDARDS section. The words falling in the two other groups are described in the following subsections.

It makes sense. Since FB is already huge, they can handle having a separate unit in every country they operate and will no longer have to worry of a start-ups eating their launch thank to high barrier of entry. They can foster relationships with the local governments and kill off any competition.
It's fine to have personal definitions, but if something is regularly called "stress" in medical literature then it's not strange that people will use that definition in online discussions as well. :)

That automatic email issue is an interesting one, I will take a look and see if there are similar complaints or internal discussions.

The assumption that China will become the world's most important market is extremely wrong-headed. Their government is incredibly fragile and the world saw this with the outpouring of dissent on WeChat during the COVID outbreak. China also faces the largest demographic timebomb that will ever be witnessed in history, has no allies, nor exportable culture or soft power. These will a huge impediment to it as it tries to move from manufacturing power to political power. Also the Chinese are a decade behind in semiconductor fabrication and fundamentally are still highly dependent on Western tech. The world still dreams to be American in a way they don't dream to be Chinese.

By the way, bringing in politics to a discussion about tech with those comments on Iraq is best avoided.
It’s actually quite nice, I only remembered I posted this comment just now and I came back and saw it had some upvotes and extra comments which was a nice surprise.
I've been thinking of this as well, back in the days we all use what today world don't use
Everyone should learn the basics of business, but people have different talents and if you're born an engineer chances are you'll never be a very good salesman, and vice versa. Much better to focus on what you enjoy and do best, and find a business guy to focus on that part.

Obviously, if you are both well rounded and have some understanding of the other's area that will make things more efficient but don't try to BE the other.
The counter-argument is that China's protectionism hasn't hurt them. They have several major brands doing just fine, reaching into plenty of other countries that haven't blocked them. Also it's not as if most other countries have domestic alternatives that can easily take the place of the major US companies.
years back me and my friend had this idea.
It's not your choice though, on whether they wipe the work profile or the whole device - it's theirs. It's not your castle.
The antenna stick is conspicuous. For a luxury brand, that's important. Think about how quickly people went from black headphone cords to white. Or how the coloured iMacs were introduced. Or how three visible cameras on the back of your iPhone came to signify something that two cameras didn't (you bought a newer, more expensive model).

I don't think they can block China from using ARM cores. They can sue or try to make it illegal to import the resulting products into the US, but I'm not sure how well that will work.

But in any case, I'm 100% sure that someone somewhere in China has a copy of the current ARM designs, so they will be able to continue to produce them for their domestic market no matter what happens.

Yes, that might make their products counterfeit ARM cores. But I'm not sure anyone will actually care.
The US government doesn't have nearly the amount of control or integration the Chinese have with their companies.

It's simply not comparable. And I say that as a European who wants FB neutered.
Yes, towards that dictatorship.

> But liability is a creation of government through law, just as much as limitations on liability are.

Except, liability implements that innate sense of "wrongness" you and the other poster referred to, while limits on liability violate it. So in that sense one is justice (however flawed or approximate it may be in implementation) and one is injustice.

But my statement was even simpler than that. The limitation of that liability transfers it to an abstract construction (called a corporation) we just invented. Let's call it a "person" for dramatic effect(after all SCOTUS did). You can either hold a real physical person liable for an injustice they committed, or you can hold an imaginary person liable. There's a difference.
At the very least I’d recommend using SwiftUI instead of Storyboards. Even if all the rest is done in UIKit/AppKit

I think it would be super interesting to look at CO2 emission per capita broken down by states (i.e. perhaps states along the coasts would show a very different picture than less populated states).

Azure. And I bet Ubuntu will eventually be owned by Microsoft.

So basically that leaves IBM and Microsoft calling the shots what Linux is supposed to be.

I know it is nice and convenient having a smartphone, but you all are creating the demand for these horrible phones. And since you keep buying them why should anything change? You complain and complain and google and apple laugh with your trillions of dollars.

If you do not like what apple and google are doing, boycott them.

I know it is hard, you are all addicted to the quick information and the dopamine rush. I know because that was me. And many of you here are probably developers sucking off the teat that you complain about.

Myself? I use a flip phone while I wait for a phone that somewhat meets my criteria for something close to my linux based laptop.

Effectively all of it is funded by the shareholders who "own" the corporation.

In the current example if the cash is coming from a debt instrument is it not bank funding it now?

it is typically about who is fronting the money now, it could be your bank making loans, or from cash reserves you have, fresh stock issue, selling another asset, or even the target's bank as in the case of LBO.

The shareholders always end up paying for it eventually in some form or other. Differentiating it by the current source helps understand the deal structure and risks better.
If I receive poor direction from leadership, I have two options: say forget it and blame them for my lack of action, or determine my own course to handle the situation. I agree that ultimately, the federal government is to blame. But the fact that almost no one at the state or local levels took some initiative and started preparing for this eventuality tells me that we have no leadership anywhere in the whole system.
> Vanity Fair asked in 2015 “whether First Look Media can make headlines that aren’t about itself?”

I guess the stories mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Intercept#Awards count for nothing to the New York Times. The Times, who is so deeply part of the establishment, they write public school curriculums [1], while the Intercept gets "In August 2014, it was reported that members of the U.S. military had been banned from reading The Intercept".

It's hard to read this story as anything but an establishment attack on independent media.

"No soft power" and "no exportable culture" seem like an exaggeration. Chinese culture had huge influence historically on Japan and Korea. More recently a lot of people enjoyed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the Dark Forest scifi trilogy.
Venus was much more hospitable in the past. Then it underwent a huge greenhouse effect that turned its atmosphere into a hell.

So maybe life could have had time to develop natively before this event, and then would have migrated to the habitable zone of the atmosphere later.

> innovation in Europe can only scale if we achieve a higher degree of unity in Europe

Interesting, I hadn't seen the term localisation used beyond language. IMO, the major hindrance to European unification is nationalistic reflexes together with too many voluntary projects: EEC vs EU, Schengen, human rights, immigration, the euro... the instigators of such projects thought the success of these projects/goals would encourage more countries to opt in at a later date, which never happened, as a general rule. This resulted in more ways to slice and dice what "Europe" means, instead of contributing to unification.

A frequent occurrence is national politicians pretending they played no part in the council of ministers and blame-shifting towards Europe in order to gain or maintain domestic popularity. This actively undermines belief in EU institutions.

The facts seem to indicate the individual countries want to keep the systems they have in place, which can include vast differences in labour law, bureaucracy, remuneration schemes, pension plans, sick leave regulation and workplace safety, despite a basic common regulatory framework. As far as I'm aware, US states don't have as much variance between them.

As a result, a would-be tech giant has higher startup costs if it wants to employ people throughout Europe. I would say actual language localisation is a much less prohibitive cost.

As a German, do you see greater unification happening any time soon? I'm not sure I do, as one of your smaller neighbours.

> I’d recommend the documentary Blackfish

If you see blackfish take in mind that must not be seen as an honest bona-fide documentary. Is entertaining if you understand what it really is. A fictionary monster's film.

I would define it as a "blaxfishploitation" film. A new genre aimed to attract animal activists, tell them what they want to hear, and sell a rewarding sense of outrage.

In order to get the desired emotional response, the film is trying to mislead the viewer all the time and takes a lot of creative licenses.

Like experts talking about an orca specimen or an event, even if they never worked with orcas or had been fired decades before the arrival of the whale (so didn't have direct experience with neither the whale, nor the event). Of course they will not mention this little details in the film.

Or mixing footage of people and orcas in different years and pools, to make it seem as if they are interacting in the same pool at the same time.

Or inserting a few frames of whales jumping (as a normal part of the show) in the middle of an interview, to suggest a unexpected attack

Or putting words in the mouth of Sea World staff to make them appear as evil, but were debunked later as false, with data.

Or telling that they lied and covered facts in a trial, even if the real declarations where videotaped and show the opposite.

The number of inaccuracies and false claimings does not end here. Here is a list with 69 points (that for a film of just 90 minutes is pretty astonishing):

6 Businesses with Success in China (and How They Did It)

Not if you're trying to point out that it specifically looks like a fake cable. An antenna stick could be pointing in any direction.
China has far greater internal issues of oppression and authoritarianism. It also meddles in foreign affairs around the world but you probably don't hear about it. See Africa and the belt-and-road initiative for some details on the damage done.
And others' interests do not extend?

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 can't remember when the US built concentration camps specifically for a remote Muslim minority, or when they built islands to falsely stake territorial claims, or ...

Your arguments have been cherry-picked in a such a way, that "bad faith" comes to mind.

No, I'm addicted to being able to coordinate with my friends, and the additional friction of not being on WhatsApp means I won't be invited to stuff as often.

This sanctimonious diatribe isn't going to make a flip phone any more useful in a country where nobody calls or uses SMS.
>Also it's not as if most other countries have domestic alternatives that can easily take the place of the major US corps.

It doesn't take huge technical skills that exist only in SV to build alternatives to US internet companies. The reason why China and Russia have their own alternatives but the EU and UK don't is because they let US steamroll into their markets. FB and other US companies were early or had better funding and got the lead, network effect kicked in and they dominated. When a country blocks you off, your funding and network effect is no more.

In other words, the moat of the US internet companies is not their tech but their network and that network can be made anaemic by countries who want to have their local alternatives, as seen with Russia and China.

Even in places where that tech expertise doesn't exists someone will build white label solutions and sell them.
I did, earlier, because they were a part of the article.

Ultimately we don’t know the legal basis of the seizure, it isn’t in the CBP presser and The Verge reporter writes he has no idea of the basis either.

I disagree with the assumption that CBP made an error, with the exception of their presser inducing eye rolling. Maybe they did, but to me it looks like they are acting within their scope.

My guess was this was connected to a 337 case, which is possible although the only OnePlus case I could find is a year old. Seizing goods on import is precisely the purpose of that mechanism. On reflection I am probably wrong about 337 litigation.

Another possibility is that this is related to design infringement, supported by Apple and AirPods being mentioned prominently. CBP is supposed to keep (their definition of) counterfeit goods from entering. If you compare the picture of the box of seized earphones, and then this marketing picture of the AirPods, wouldn’t you think that an average consumer could be confused? I have not reviewed the design patents for the AirPods, but I also don’t think it’s unfair to say that the OnePlus version have a lot in common. There are many design patents covering Apple earphones that could be relevant too.

The problem with your logic is you are comparing US to "the world" and China as small resourceless player. The case here is more akin to China blocking US products and US blocking china's product. If US consistently blocks without reason, let's say Germany's cars, then I think Germany have ethical ground in blocking US's cars.

With NVIDIA relying on Samsung for fabbing their new Ampere line of GPUs using their 8nm process, and Samsung now relying on NVIDIA for ARM, I wonder how this relationship will develop.

I'm guessing that NVIDIA will try to squeeze value out of this acquisition (though not as aggressively as, say, Qualcomm would), but going too far might backfire on them.
