Degradation only matters in nature. That plastic was taken from the earth and nobody gives a damn about the toxicity of oil sitting in the ground. Nobody worries about how long it takes for it to degrade. If you bring the plastic back to where it came from you've done enough.

I'm shocked.
Sure; but it’s an almost irrelevant detail.

The point being made is that government intervention is a given in China at every level.

You can argue either way on if it’s “right” for the US to be doing it too, but it’s a bit rich to make a song and dance about how unfair it is under the circumstances.

I’m 100% happy to agree governments in general, should keep out of this stuff, but that’s not the world we live in, or have lived in, for a very long time...

/shrug

It sucks, but it’s kind of hard to be sympathetic, honestly.

You reap what you sow.
Research != innovation. Innovation is more about practical implementation of novel ideas (incl. ones coming from research) - something at which soviets weren't very good at.
> The first guilded age gave us the depression.

This seems like a stretch.

The great depression was more than a generation after the gilded age ended, and after a world war followed by an economic boom (roaring 20s).

The US became a word power during the gilded age.
I'm not sure how I feel about any of this. China is a legitimate security concern. The practices of that government has always been predatory around I.P and privacy.

But the US government has been very thin on details on how serious the security concern actually is, and whether moving the infrastructure to an American owned company would actually change anything.

The US appears to regulate data protection under a number of sector specific regulatory acts. It will be difficult to restrict the flow of data between US and China without a recognition of social media as a sector that needs its own regulation without it affecting Google and Facebook.

Considering how powerful US tech companies are I can't see this sale making Americans safer through a legal framework.

It's not about having the designs as you think. It's about the ability to sell products based on ARM IP.

* "rogue agent" can't sell products with ARM based technology inside.

* "rogue agent" can't produce ARM based chips in foreign fabs (TSMC, Samsung)
This is the privilege of being the only actual superpower in the world. Your national interest extends all over the world and other nations don't get to have a say in it.

American control of the internet is a concern for other nations, and the ones that can do something about it (China, Russia) are working hard to become independent of it. Most nations however just get to pick what bubble they want to live in - the US one, the Chinese one, to a lesser extent the Russian one.
It is egregious because most FOSS maintainers aren’t going to pay it. I’m not going to pay it for things I develop in my free time either.

Funny how all the free trade stuff never applies to consumers.
Yep, exactly like how Microsoft was compensated for buying Skype. This stuff is not without precedent.

Skype was not sponsored by a foreign power but by liberal minded founders using P2P technology. Still a "national security" threat (actually a hegemony threat) so it had to be addressed somehow. Microsoft was happy to help.

It also helps explain a little the hapless treatment of the Skype brand under Microsoft. Not that Microsoft hasn't bought companies and mismanaged the assets before, but they really didn't know what to do with Skype.
As I said it works well on Linux based OSes.

True, I see your point. It seems that anything is open for weaponisation these days and previous frameworks for making assumptions have been shown to be invalid.
I'm not sure you followed the above 2 points, or perhaps read them through tinted glasses.

I wasn't arguing that npm's namespacing system is worse than their initial system, nor that their switch to namespacing was a mistake.

The current npm namespaced system, with flaws, is head-and-shoulders better than the previous flat system.

You're saying you did "look and learn". If by that you mean you looked at the end product (npm's is seriously flawed) without looking at the journey to that product (npm's is still a huge improvement over what they started with), then you're not going to learn much from that kind of "looking".

I highlighted Composer/Packagist in a sibling comment as a system you should look and learn from (w.r.t. namespaces).

Choosing to only look at flawed systems that started flat seems like you're just being selective to support your own thesis.
I've been now teaching several remote math lessons with a standard iPad $329 and Apple Pencil $99. Basically I'm joining to a Teams meeting and sharing the entire screen, then writing stuff using the standard Notes application. Finally I share the note with the class by exporting it to the Teams application.

There is a built-in feature in Teams which allows me to launch quick improvised quizzes in the chat which I find nice. I'm also able to collect assignments via Teams and check/mark them in Word using Apple Pencil. The students take a picture using their own phone camera and add it to a docx-file which is then turned in using Teams.

Statistics is not really in focus in most CS programs. Indeed I'm not sure where it is. Perhaps in applied math programs. Stats is kinda too dirty and realworld for pure math types, and in science programs and medicine it's usually just taught as a bunch of magic formulas to memorize and rules of thumb passed down from generation to generation without understanding. Perhaps physics departments do have both the necessary math skills and the need for stats so they may provide a good education in this.

But having studied in 3 universities in different countries, CS just doesn't care about stats. Probability theory yes, but frequentist topics like statistical tests not really.
Well done! (both on the setup and the instructional video)
It never occurred to me that a division of a company could just... secede from the parent company.

What could the parent company even do if something like this occurred across less-then-friendly national boundaries? Could the parent company sue to force the errant division to close? In what court?

It's bizarre that it's not more common...

Funny thing is my jailbroken iPhone 3GS was probably more secure because it had a firewall and adblocker installed. A PDF exploit got fixed faster as well.

You are getting a lot of incredibly daft and weird responses, but you are in fact correct. Even if China would suddenly implement a 'enforced population growth' strategy tomorrow (which would be remarkably bonkers) that would create a baby boom that would have economic dividends only at some point in the future - their current demographics would play out for some time (and spare a thought for the woman compelled to have 3 kids AND look after her own parents and her in-laws!). The number of women at childbearing age has already dropped substantially (both due to an aging population and a tendency to favor boys and abort girls).

A lot of bizarre fantasies about what the Chinese government can and can't do - they are an authoritarian state, not a totalitarian state. The idea that they can enforce multiple births in a culture that is trending sharply away from having multiple kids by waving a wand is just ridiculous. Further, they have barely deployed any serious incentives to have more kids - it would be cheaper and easier to do Scando-style childcare and subsidies.

The other basic fact that your responders ignore is that Western countries have huge immigration rates compared to China, which hardly has any immigration. Their rate is 750 times lower than the USA, for example, and the bulk of immigrants to China (historically) have been from ethnic Chinese populations abroad (notably Vietnam); these populations are also aging.
The 50s analogy is only to point out how we like to extrapolate contemporary technical understanding into the future. The envisioned dyson spheres I've seen look like our current understanding and use of photovoltaics extrapolated in the same way.

I don't disagree that the core idea of harnessing the suns energy seems likely. As the parent poster said, it's just the absolute confidence that people seem to have on the subject that's a bit curious.

Maybe breakthroughs in energy generation will make it not worth the effort? Maybe becoming interstellar makes it obsolete since the energy requirements for a given civilization are spread thinner? Maybe there are other ways to harness the solar energy that would not show the same signs as we predict? Maybe civilizations trend to energy efficiency instead of just increased usage?

Maybe not.
"Using a voice assistant like Alexa isn't like wiretapping your home."

True. Wire tapping implies it only listens to you during an active "call" to Alexa. Alexa is more like a bugging device.
America is imperfect, but China is evil. They are perpetrating a literal holocaust right now. The double standard is merited.
An actual practical psychological phenomenon that actually exists unlike most psychology but it gets deleted.

I would start in blaming psychology in showing us fiction authors seem more useful than their research students.

For Wikipedia why is this deleted but obscure characters in TV shows aren't? Why is a character worth more than an very popular idea from an author?
Lower power versions of what they put in Tegra / Switch? Or perhaps they can whip up something in 1-2 years. I'd be astonished if nVidia doesn't take any interest in smartphone GPUs after this acquisition.

To those of you who haven't made a CPU before: CPU technology is more like a javascript framework than a natural resource. When someone says "block China from US CPU ISAs" think "block China from US javascript frameworks". Then you'll have the appropriate sense of how silly it is.

(Nvidia - ARM) - Nvidia >> 40 Bn

Only about 50% is gaming and nascent divisions like data centres can get a big boost from the acquisition.

We only connected Nvidia with GPUs, perhaps AI & ML. Now they are going to be a dominant player everywhere from consumer devices, IOT, cloud, HPC & Gaming.

And since Nvidia does not FAB its own chips like intel, this transformation is going to be pretty quick.

If only they go into public cloud business, we as costumers would have one other strong vendor to choose from.
They do have 1+B people long ago.
Science and technology need the soil of IP protection, justice system and other core values (that CCP does not respect or care) to grow. You think talents would like to stay in a closed system like that? Think about it again after checking out situation in Hong Kong last year.

Education in the United States is run at the local and state level. Also, The US Department of Education can only spend money they has been appropriated by Congress. When Congress hasn’t appropriated federal funds for the US Department of Education to send to local school districts for remote learning, they generally can’t send money no matter how worthy the expenditure would be.
If you think checking in on your phone 200 times a day and worrying about everything your ipotato tells you to worry about is helping feed your family: whatever works for you, pal. That sort of mentality never worked for me.
These differences extend to every crop making crop specific numbers more an average than reality. Lettuce grown indoors for example has an extreme carbon footprint from the lighting which would make imported tomatoes a better option.

Well, they chose a trash leader and were then surprised that said leader did not respect norms shrug.
You might not like the word stupid, so how about "computer illiterate"? And instead of lazy, perhaps "uninterested and distracted"? The end result is exactly the same, and it's indisputable, but I suppose it sounds better.
> anyone wanting a marriage license must produce a child within 6 months

So they start 3 months in advance? /s

Whatever, I think it's much easier to limit the number of children than to enforce a minimum. Both can be very unwelcomed for many reasons I don't want to get into, but not everybody can have children.

What are you even saying? Why the flame? You probably have a perverted notion of free trade to say so. I defend free trade and this is an absurd. Free trade applies for both sides, and should be seen always unilaterally, without retaliation by state actors or third parties.
Here’s how I have mine set up:

The phone is suspended when the power button is pressed. Reciving network traffic (ex responses to IDLE on an open IMAP connection) wakes it up and there’s a service that suspends it again fairly quickly if the power button hasn’t been pressed. Another service manages an RTC alarm so that programs expecting pushed data can reestablish sockets if they die (since that won’t necessarily wake the phone.) The only disadvantage to this scheme is that there are more keepalive messages sent (so you should limit the number of services expecting push messages to just a few.)

Mine runs a normal X11 DE (fluxbox) so the apps run in the background just like they do on my laptop. If something wakes the phone up too often just kill it.

I’m still working out the kinks but it seems to get decent battery life this way. No need for some special API.
The US is "simply" following the example set by a dictatorship you mean?
> Provide a rooted phone by default.

Librem 5 is rooted. It's basically just a Desktop computer in the form-factor of a phone.

> Add tools that let me see what my phone is doing behind the scenes.

Everything is open source. You have all the power to study what your phone is doing. Standard GNU/Linux tools should work.

> Give me option to turn-off some of the things I don't like

Everything is free software, you can change it as you like. Also, there is no analytics by default: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHcHi0TBFv4

Unfortunately, not in the first version. One step at a time.
The fact that anybody could point fingers at the US for making it difficult for China to do business here is absurd. China is one of the most hostile protectionist economies. The US has never done anything that even approaches how difficult it is for a foreign business to trade in China.

I’m quite a strong advocate for free trade. But if a country has locked you out of their market, I don’t think you should give them easy access to yours.
It's hard to tell since details are scarce in the article, but perhaps this is the same model that Oracle and TikTok are aiming for? (Oracle provides the U.S. footing for a partnership, and that relationship enables TikTok to (continue to) operate in the country)
Ah, you are an absolute legend.

I will look into automating with OCR but it is also kind of cool to re-type it all to get a feel for the language myself.

Apertium looks awesome, and I'm going through all the docs now. I think it will make sense for me to structure things like Apertium as it looks like a pretty active and relevant project.

And yeah, the odds of getting some sweet ML system working seem quite low, as the languages are almost dead anyway so will be nigh impossible to get a data set.

I have family member on the language advisory group so I will double check the copy right.
It's strange that people just shrug their shoulders and accept this state of things in 2020.

Any system these days should allow near-instantaneous admin operations for just about any reasonable request. Subtree move, delete, or rename should all be instant. Similarly, any simple ACL changes should be instant.

Similarly, data movement should scale linearly with the volume of data, not the number of objects.

It may be true, but I wouldn't say it's evidence for most people behaving rationally. That assumes that everyone does a thorough risk assessment before buying any "smart" device for their home. I highly doubt that's the case.

I put the statement "my phone's already compromised" in the same category as "I don't have anything to hide". Those may very well be common natural behaviors, but I wouldn't call them rational exactly.
Separating the ARM specific concerns could someone shed light on the generalised apprehension around Nvidia?
The article talks about respecting users but at the same time describes using Facebook as "mindlessly scrolling through feeds of what can most easily be described as garbage content". There is a big disconnect here. If people are actually smart and able to make their own decisions, maybe there is something more to Facebook than "mindless scrolling"?

In TikTok Sale, Microsoft Is No Loser and Oracle No Winner
My major issue against it is that these businesses are getting massive amounts of government funding and tax incentives due to the "green" spin.

Effectively none of these business are actually profitable and would be insolvent without government help/cronyism. This money is pretty much wasted on these polluting businesses and is money that could be applied elsewhere towards the environment.
Honestly I was looking forward to seeing what Oracle does with tiktok. Such a weird unnatural combination. If oracle was smart they would leave it alone as much as possible but I suspect they wouldn't be able to help themselves.
Now that you mention it, it is weird. However, I'm guessing the two divisions are very integrated (especially in things like sales), so a division seceding would have to set up its own sales pipelines and basically become a competitor.

I don't know how easy that is, which probably explains why it's not more common.
Yeah china is such a nice country, not at all imperialistic, and friendly to our values.
> China is a legitimate security concern. The practices of the government has always been predatory around I.P and privacy.

The same could be said of the US, perhaps with the exception of I.P. where there hasn’t been a real need to date.

Either way, if this leads to a ban of TikTok in the US, it’s going to be interesting to see how boards of teenagers react.
I find the sort of 18-25 internet culture that exists on other platforms is full of "look at how depressed I am lol just kidding" kinds of posts. It's like an amplifier for dragging people down, and this year social media in general has effectively given every rabid doomer a megaphone to spout (mostly unsourced) doom and gloom like a million funeral bells ringing constantly in your face. No wonder rates of depression are up!
I suppose this might explain why all google products have terrible UX, to this day. But it's not really an argument against non-technical co-founders. Steve Jobs was non-technical, I think it's safe to assume Woz's Apple would have been less successful.
