I wouldn't say it's the only reason. WeChat is more than just a chat app; it's also a social networking and payments app. For digital payments, at least, the US is far, far behind the ease of use and merchant buy-in that apps like WeChat offer.

I know people in China and other Asian countries who rarely pull out cash or even a credit/bank card, and handle nearly all of their payments through apps.

Think of it like Venmo, but all merchants accept it directly, and you can complete transactions in the middle of a chat session (with a merchant or a regular person) without having to switch to another payment-dedicated UX.
Reading the article again, I'd be curious to hear what you feel the best solution would be for the author. I'm also not sure what "equilibrium" means here too.
That's "cleary" not what the grandparent comment was alluding to nor did they once mention tech.

Regardless of the ever shifting goalposts of those who constantly make this patently false statement about US companies inability to do business on the mainland, let's just restrict it to tech then:

I already mentioned Microsoft, how about Apple? Intel? IBM, Dell, HP? They all make huge dollars in China as well as benefit from their supply chains to sell elsewhere.

I really can't understand why people mentally cling so hard to this notion that US companies can't sell their wares to the Chinese.
Thank you for this - I am considering making the switch also.

The biggest switch for me would be losing music streaming. What do you use for music on-the-go (at the gym, commuting, walking around, etc.)?

Sure, but the seller is not guaranteed to get sales.

So there must be an agreement between the seller and the buyer on what the item is worth, and "worth" includes what alternatives both of them have available as well.
Emitting carbon is just that, an (unintended) transformation of having energy. Yet we are trying to curb it, and we could do the same with the rest. It't not necessary that all transformations will leave permanent ecological effects. For example, vast amounts of energy could be used to ferry people from Newark to Tokyo for shopping trips in some electric craft that will leave behind only a slight temperature rise of the atmosphere.

I do agree though that with unlimited energy many people will want multiple vacation mansions each somewhere in the wilderness. We need to handle that like we do with carbon emissions, limit it and tax it to high heavens.
Ohhh ad hominem attacks and implying that people who disagree with you are bots.

So what you said literally does not make sense. I think you are saying that there are long subsections of genetic sequences that are used as markers? But as you have not actually cited anything we only have a one sentence explanation of your understand of something. Long is ambiguous, as is not found in nature. Hell even markers can be vague.
This is visualizing data, not necessarily data structures
If you look at the date that RFC is from before my time. My guess would be that you don't need to know the rule: 95% of the time you don't need to use `+ '_` anywhere (these rules predate the ability to use `'_` to begin with, which is why the RFC talks about `+ 'a` only) because the behavior matches the user's expectation (not having to write `&'a Foo<'a> + 'a`), and, nowadays, when on the 5% of cases you do need 'a the compiler will tell you about it

help: to declare that the trait object captures data from argument `self`, you can add an explicit `'_` lifetime bound

14 | fn things(&self) -> Box<dyn Things<'_> + '_> {

Edit: having said that, the docs do explain these rules[1], reachable from the trait object documentation[2], while it seems that The Book doesn't.

I'm also noticing that my confusion was likely due to `&'r Ref<'q, Trait>` being interpreted as `&'r Ref<'q, Trait+'q>`, which is behavior that was introduced in a follow up RFC[3].

Octopi, octopuses, and octipodes have all been used. I personally think octopi rolls more smoothly off the tongue than either of the other two, so that's what I tend to use.

I find the arguments regarding Greek or Latin purity to be unconvincing- we are speaking neither language. We're speaking English, which is a head-on collision between the two, with Germanic trappings gluing it all together. I happily mix and mash whatever prefix, root, infix or suffix I like. If others like it and use it, success! Whether a theoretical Roman from centuries past would agree does not enter the calculation.
But if someone attacked others in a hospital, we might blame them for lack of security.

My personal experience on this is like the article above states, merely having my phone on hand caused me to think about pulling it out or looking at it even if it was turned off. It was not till I hid my phone away in my glove box or somewhere I rarely accessed did I feel truly free from it. I will say having done this for months now I really don't miss it and only go grab it when I absolutely need it (usually for work stuff). The result is that I feel much less distracted and more focused on my life as it happens, also my view of the world seem more grounded in reality now.
Best decision I ever made was setting up a Pi netboot server on my LAN. Now I have a whole bunch of Pi 3's and 4's scattered around my home with no local storage at all doing cool things, and I can make them boot into a completely different OS just by renaming a symlink on the server.
True but I was looking at just for being RISC-V rather than the coprocessor
Not a fan of Raspberry Pi. It hides behind proprietary Broadcom chip, no DSI/MIPI support and you're at the mercy of Raspberry PI for any sort of commercial implementation (RPi Zero and independent module). They do guarantee upto 2026 availability for their DIMM modules which is nice. We wanted to build commercial device using RPi but its a no go due to its blackbox nature.

What they should do is to leverage their position in the market and convince Broadcom to open source the bootloader and drivers. There are a bunch of binary blobs from Broadcom that are a mystery as to what they do. No docs, no anything. HAL layer is completely at the mercy of Raspbery Pi.

Raspberry Pi is an ecosystem which is based on proprietary technologies and masquerading as an open source friendly thing.

If you want to support proper open source development (I understand, at some point things get proprietary the closer you get to the hardware, but with RPi, there isn't even a datasheet for the processor that you can get your hands on), buy Beagle board and other alternatives.
That's because the CCP has banned non-CCP apps, they're getting a taste of their own medicine.

It is worth noting that in 1024 bytes of ram, we managed:

1) Call stack frame and local variables

2) Full graphical menuing system with text and icons

3) Infrared sending

4) Infrared learning

5) Smart State Control (i.e. for each device, simulate what state it 'should' have been in, then work out what commands needed to be sent to hopefully get it into the new state'

6) Synchronization (i.e. when Smart State didn't work, sending the user through a graphical workflow that would get it going again)

7) Interactive TV listings (i.e. when watching TV, it could show you what programmes were on which channel, select to change to that channel)

8) Dynamic content 'zapping'. OK, it was a dumb feature, but you could press the 'Zap' button and it would remember what channel you were watching at what time, and then take you to relevant content (e.g. ads).

9) Favourite channel lists - pressing channel up would only cycle you through the channels you liked, working out if it was 2 or 3 digits, zero prefixed, 'channel up shortcut' etc.

10) USB HID protocol stack (the USB chip was only a dumb transceiver).
It is now corrected.

A book painting such a picture is "Black Out" by Marc Elsberg ([1], [2]). I can wholeheartedly recommend it, as it points a pretty scary, yet plausible scenario and is a proper thriller as well.

Its plot takes mainly place in Germany, so it's written with a Europe-centric view and I'm not sure how well that translates to the US. However when looking at the brittle electric grid in parts of the US, I believe such attacks could be even worse there.

I have a fairly nice smart phone, and I use it for phone calls, text messages, 2FA, e-books, taking pictures, checking the weather forecast, and as a clock/timer/alarm. In a pinch I'll look something up or access my bank account, but very rarely. I'm in front of my desktop computer 10 to 12 hours a day, if I need to search for something on the web I'll do it then. If I want to play a game, I'll play it on my expensive desktop computer. If I'm going on a trip I'll bring my laptop.

I must be in the minority, but the size and ergonomics of the phone make it a last-resort sort of device for me despite the fact that it looks like a futuristic sci-fi device.
The 4 is a bit different under the hood (as evidenced by the different procedures). There was support on the older models, while the 4 launched without it.
Also I'd like to contest that the nature study is "suggestive" that its not man made. Finding Elvis dead in Vegas is not "suggestive" that Elvis is dead.

If you are asking me to proof a negative, that's virtually impossible.
The US has a problem because it let's States decide their own elections. But then because of the electoral system, a few states decide the whole thing. Its an invitation for small problems (or local corruption) to become an (inter)national issue.

The Forecasting Fallacy
Yeah, that dude definitely didn’t comprehend Carmack’s talk very well. Carmack wasn’t in any way pessimistic about VR, he’s just disappointed with the pace that things are moving in. As he said, he always wants things to move faster.

But if anything, Carmack expressed overall optimism. He said that we pretty much have everything we need to implement his ideal vision of VR. It’s just a matter of putting all the pieces together.
Base64 is harder to type, memorize, and communicate, although I do usually use lowercase letters for this type of thing as an improvement over digits.
Where was the board during this whole time? I have trouble understanding how a board allows a management team to operate in such a way that controls aren't in place (eg basic segregation of duties in finance) that would prevent or at minimum reveal this kind of behavior. The board should be seeing enough information that most of the flags you highlight should be visible to them. Not to mention, clearly the company was never audited. Regular audits should be standard practice for any company of that size.
In any case, it will be interesting to see what consequences there are for board members that appear to have failed in their basic responsibilities.

I wonder if the fix for this was just adding some more RegEx to the WAF and calling it patched.

To me, it seems like it's not possible for a WAF to honestly promise "SQL Injection Prevention," because it's surely just string matching and not actually building an AST/simulating a database query before passing the HTTP query along to the application server. The WAF can't possibly know how the application server operates on the HTTP query, so if the programmer went outside of a pre-imagined pattern, all bets about the WAF's security promises are off.

So I agree with the other comment in this thread about WAFs being snake oil. Good for pattern analysis and deep packet inspection to block specific known threats, but claiming it's a solution for all but the most basic SQL injection is a claim that can't be fulfilled.
We all already believe that grass is green. Nothing is gained by pointing out that a Magic 8 Ball confirmed this.
TNot surprising. he co-lead on this deal was the company I work for (insurance). This doesn t surprised me as our VC arm sometime is ego driven. Being a strategic VC they have to follow the gut feeling of board member with limited due diligence. We often worry with teamates about the VC arm investment (Serie B into Iot backed in blockchain jewelery kind of deal). The team also like to take famous SV investor content and republish it internally as own. this bit us a few time when a C suit tweet a congratulating message on great content from our firm like 'software is eating the world'. The irony here is that we are an insurance company, we should know how to prevent fraud...

>You have interpreted the parent exceedingly uncharitably.

Perhaps I have. However, I don't see how much more "charitably" I can interpret what they wrote. Or do you think that I'm wrong in my assertion?

>If one partner in a monogamous relationship suddenly announces that from that day forth there shall be no more sex, the other partner is certainly within their rights to be upset.

I don't disagree with that statement at all. But I stand by my assertion that no one is obligated to sexually satisfy anyone else.

If my spouse/SO decided that she wanted no more sex with me, sure I'd be upset. And as my feelings are my own, I'm entitled to be upset.

However she, as a sentient being, has agency. As such, she (not me) gets to decide what happens with her body.

Should a situation similar to your example occur, that should be a big red flag that something is wrong in your relationship. And if that's the case, going on about how your spouse is obliged to pleasure you certainly isn't going to improve things.

>Consent is never optional, but neither should it be unreasonably withheld in a monogamous relationship in which sex is a key component.

How do you handle the logic problem set up by your statement?

If consent to sexual activity is not optional, how is someone obliged to provide such sexual activity if they don't wish to consent?

>Rights and responsibilities always pair.

Neither you nor I have the right to demand sexual contact with someone who does not consent. Full stop. It doesn't matter what your relationship with that person might be.

And providing you (or anyone else) with sexual contact isn't anyone's responsibility, again regardless of what sort of relationship you might have with them.

And that's the issue that I have with both your and the parent poster's statements.

You said it yourself: Consent is not optional.
If you truly believe that, how can you even entertain the idea that someone should be obligated, or have the responsibility to provide sexual satisfaction to anyone if they choose not to do so?

I don't disagree that it's customary for those in a romantic/sexual relationship to engage in sexual activity. But no one is obligated or required to do so.

And if you don't think that's true, consider this[0]. Because coercing someone into non-consensual sexual activity is called rape.
