Many US companies have made huge returns on investment in China, and China is a major market for many American companies.

This is a tech forum, so we can go down a list of US tech companies, giving their 2017 revenue from China:

* Apple: $45 billion (20% of Apple's total)

* Intel: $15 billion (its largest market, 24% of total)

* Qualcomm: $15 billion (>60% of Qualcomm's total)

* Micron: $10 billion (>50% of Micron's total)

* Broadcom: $9 billion (>50 of Broadcom's total)

* Cisco: $8 billion (15% of Cisco's total)

The list goes on and on, but you get the picture.

The numbers come from here: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trade-war-watch-these-are-...
My friend used to joke that macOS is dead once iPhones are strong enough to power XCode running on iOS.

That timeline doesn't look very far.
Chrome exists over a decade yet they still haven't figured out how ctrl+Tab should work.
The issue is not strictly limited to 1A issues or concern over intercepted communications, though. There's a much larger elephant in the room: a social media app, wildly popular with easily influenced young people, that the Chinese Communist Party has, effectively, editorial control over. That's, imo, the most concerning issue here. Imagine what you could do with this power.

(I ask that question a bit tongue in cheek, because we should also be asking it of Facebook/Twitter/Google et al.)

There's some space been the extremes. You're normally not allowed to say anything that would be a company secret, but nothing should stop you from consulting on Amazon Marketplace as long as you use only public information you know very well. If you're already past ignoring company secrets, is unlikely preventing other employment would stop you already.

As for actual fixes, I think safety critical systems already have some answers: require 2 person confirmations, audit access, correlate repeated issues.

> the properties of the hashes [g]it uses

Git uses SHA-1, a hardened version since 2017, and are now doing per-repo upgrades to SHA-256 [0]. Lots of repos are presumably still on SHA-1 (and users on older versions of git).

As of 2020, chosen-prefix attacks against SHA-1 are now practical. [verbatim from 1] But I don't think second preimage attacks are practical yet.

Linus Torvalds argued in 2006 basically that it's irrelevant whether git's hash function is second preimage resistant. Selective quoting:

> remember that the git model is that you should primarily trust only your _own_ repository [2]

> [a malicious] collision is entirely a non-issue: you'll get a "bad" repository that is different from what the attacker intended, but since you'll never actually use his colliding object, it's _literally_ no different from the attacker just not having found a collision at all [2]

All that is just to say: git originally chose its hashes for the above mentioned "git model", thus didn't 100 % care about second preimage resistance. For your suggested search engine, depending on how the database is collected you might not be able to trust "your own repository" (if it's crowdsourced I could register another codebase with the same hash as Linux). A second preimage resistant hash function would be a requirement for the suggested use case.

China bans half the internet, the US bans two Chinese apps, therefore the EU should retaliate against the US? I am all for fighting back against the influence of Facebook in Europe (especially WhatsApp), but I don't see why we should care about this case at all.

Most US "bullying" that we experience in the EU is just Silicon Valley absorbing our top IT talent (after _our_ tax payers have bankrolled everyone's university education in full). There's no need for actual bullying because we don't even have any killer apps, much less our own hardware or operating systems that the US could possibly ban.

OK then.

You've objectively measured that ethics (or health, or whatever metric you are going for) is 7.

Let's agree that it's the result of short term thinking
Although truly flat surfaces can be easily generated (relative to building a screw cutting lathe from scratch). It just takes a lot of time and labor, but lapping two granite plates together would produce a good-enough surface plate; considering the accuracy likely to be achieved with a one-off homemade lathe.

Realistically, the absolute hardest part would be the castings. Cast iron is no simple feat, as I'm sure the future posts in this series will show.

Why? I supported 40 of them (rpi 3) as remote serial hosts and custom reboot/repower for a QA farm. Not a single one failed and don't think I had a single issue during that whole time. As far as I know it's still going just fine. It was a cheap and dependable solution. 99% of the SD card issues go away when you don't cheap out and don't go cheap. get a large card that is 32GB plus from a respectable vendor. That's not the rpi's fault on the failures, it's the cheap ass SD cards that people buy.

I'm concerned about China's policy of heavy-handed protectionism and censorship internally while benefitting from global markets externally.

But I don't like this tit-for-tat action by the US. Cutting off Tiktok will only further accelerate the balkanization of the internet. Keeping US companies from kataoing to the Chinese regime with special concessions (e.g. Dragonfly) and making services too important to easily firewall off (e.g. GitHub) seems like a better strategy. At least I hope so.
I won't say I don't get negatively affected at all, but I still have a huge amount of fun on twitter.

I curate my "feeds" by using special follow lists (usually an obscured feature probably to make people think they can only use the main feed). I have a few different baseball lists, a list for automobile news since I'm into races like Super GT, and a couple other specific lists.

While I do wind up seeing negative stuff on my main tweet feed, it's easy to choose to only look at stuff I enjoy reading and responding to.

I'm sure most of the blame goes to Twitter because as I said, they sort of made that lists feature obscure. But I feel like there's a lot that users can do to take their own control of what they see on Twitter. I certainly do.
The likelihood of ARM sailing off into the distance and x86 disappearing is very slim. It's worth keeping in mind that they have more in common than you might think (i.e. RISC and CISC don't mean a huge amount any more when the old x86 instructions aren't used any more and ARM had/has a JavaScript instruction)

Is there anything in VR apps/games that’s even passingly familiar to 1% of average people?

Personally, I know Myst has been ported to VR and that there’s some way to watch NBA games in VR but that’s about it.

Google wasn't banned. They pulled out due (primarily) to requirement that they censor search results.
It's my understanding that originally there was intention to flesh out the story mode aspect of the game with DLC / downloadable content quite significantly compared to what it is today.

As someone with no previous experience with GTA series since the original top down view version i enjoyed the singleplayer story and experience of GTA V a lot and the world building was amazing. I've run around the map for hours and there's lot's of places that serve absolutely no purpose but gives the impression that it was intended to play a part of some story at some point in the game.

In the end I guess the online part got 'too' successful and basically made Rockstar focus only on this portion of the game.
The GTA V story mode world seems like the minimum version for getting story mode to work.

A better analogy might be if the hospital had a known defect which, if un-repaired, could lead to someones death. And then it did. As pointed out in the article: "... cybersecurity experts have warned for years that most hospitals aren’t prepared."

Depends on whether they'll go through the full vetting process normally required for IPOing companies. Chinese companies have historically managed to refuse the vetting process when they're listed on US stock exchanges.
You can, you just chose not to. That is what is blocking wide adoption.
You realize solar and wind aren't 100% efficient right? They also generate a lot of heat waste when converting mechanical energy into electrical or in the process of radiation into electricity. It is less heat but I'm confused by the argument because I'm reading it as if you are saying there is none.

But more importantly, my comment was about how there are a lot of emission factors outside energy production that matter a lot in the discussion of climate change and ignoring that makes it difficult to solve the problem.
Careful. If you think about this too much, you might end up realizing how absurd “justice” systems everywhere are.

That's true for the ODROID H2+ too—you need to add in the power supply, case, eMMC, battery, SATA cables, and also RAM. (I forgot to mention RAM in the parent, so the difference is more like $85 + whatever you pay for RAM.)
Exactly this. I spent decades as a FF/EMT and that's the way it was typically done.

Verification and DoC are different (and apply to different types of unintentional radiators), but you're correct that neither involves filing anything with the FCC (or any private body accredited by the FCC; for real most certifications go through a TCB, not directly to the FCC). You just make the file (including any test results required) and keep it in a drawer. The FCC can come and ask for it, and if you don't have it then you're in trouble.

ETA: And here's the section about battery-operated digital devices (i.e., unintentional radiators, with no radio transmitter):

> § 15.103 Exempted devices.

> [...]

> (h) Digital devices in which both the highest frequency generated and the highest frequency used are less than 1.705 MHz and which do not operate from the AC power lines or contain provisions for operation while connected to the AC power lines. Digital devices that include, or make provision for the use of, battery eliminators, AC adaptors or battery chargers which permit operation while charging or that connect to the AC power lines indirectly, obtaining their power through another device which is connected to the AC power lines, do not fall under this exemption.

And here's the section that makes it fine to build your own stuff in limited quantity, as long as you don't do anything obviously stupid:

> § 15.23 Home-built devices.

> (a) Equipment authorization is not required for devices that are not marketed, are not constructed from a kit, and are built in quantities of five or less for personal use.

> (b) It is recognized that the individual builder of home-built equipment may not possess the means to perform the measurements for determining compliance with the regulations. In this case, the builder is expected to employ good engineering practices to meet the specified technical standards to the greatest extent practicable. The provisions of §15.5 apply to this equipment.

> We're talking about creative and innovative creations here. Not grocery products.

As if giving better prices with the expectations of higher volume wasn’t the standard in “creative” industries. Obviously it is.

How much have “small players” benefited in other “creative” industries? Do you really think the 30% cut is the only thing stopping indy developers from being successful in the iOS App Store? If that’s the case there should be plenty of Indy developers with successful products on Android. Where are they?

There is no money selling apps on the App Store anymore. Most of the money is coming indirectly from services (where Apple doesn’t get a cut) and play to win games with in app purchases. The other money is coming from ad supported apps and games where Apple doesn’t get a cut.

So much this. It happened to me when 1Password iPhone App changed and no longer required you to enter your master password with every phone restart. And that same month I made a minor tweak to my password (because I was using it so much for a new computer) and got locked out.

Other zero-value improvement was with Transit iPhone App. They made cosmetic GUI changes which make no sense (cover 50% of the map, swipe interaction target too big, transit line notifications screen gone) and they made zero improvements to transfer scheduling.

Weather Underground iPhone App took a compact and information rich GUI and turned it into a garish nightmare with 'speedometer' temperature graphic.

I've said it here again and again--I don't understand the point of ruining a good iPhone App. Why not treat it like a video game--just make a new one and support the old one with security updates? Heck. I get it. Double the code base, without the _perceived_ possibility of a revenue boost from the _new and improved_. At the very least make improvements very carefully (1Password), and if you have a hit don't redesign. Maybe --- make the old version the subscription and the new software ad-based? Maybe then you'd at least have a real measure of _new and improved_.
The difference is that people from other countries are generally not subject to US jurisdiction. Certainly the deterrence effect from stories like this is far larger for US based employees and contractors than foreign ones.

It's not xenophobic to prefer US employees for sensitive positions of trust, where the rule of US law is relevant.
>If I was in a monogamous relationship where I had agreed to not have sex with anybody else, and the other person for the duration of that relationship refused to have sex with me - is that not abusive? There are two sides of the coin here.

Absolutely. But the response to such a situation shouldn't be to push your partner (who, presumably, you care about) to do something he or she doesn't want to do.

If someone is in that situation, there are clearly issues with the relationship that are bigger than just whether or not you get to stick it anytime you feel like it.

As such, if you value that relationship, it would probably be of value to communicate about what may be behind the issue.

And if your partner is unable or unwilling to at least attempt to do so, that's absolutely abusive and detrimental to the relationship.

At that point, you need to ask yourself if it's possible to rescue the relationship.

You seem to be under the misapprehension that I view relationships only through the lens of consent. I do not.

In order to make a relationship work, everyone must be willing to communicate, be patient and compromise. And that extends to sex too.

And there's a difference between "Oh honey! The kids just wore me out today. Let's get some sleep and we can get my sister to take the kids for the weekend and we'll smear every piece of furniture with our bodily fluids!" and "Don't touch me, asshole!"

In the former scenario, you might reasonably take some steps to encourage your partner to push past their fatigue and enjoy each other.

However, even in that instance, if your partner for whatever reason, is still unwilling, you do not have the right to demand sex.

In the latter scenario, one would expect that rather than pressing the issue, you'd try to understand why your partner is not only unwilling to to have sex, but why they're so hostile.

In either case, you do not have the right to insist that your partner do stuff they don't want to do.

Why is that so hard to understand?
Before I engage any further can you clarify whether 1) you are American and 2) you have any actual experience with US law? Also, since you claim "courts have ruled in the past" can you clarify which specific legal cases you are referring to?

I built the "first tabbed browser", NetCaptor, back in 1997. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/josephbernstein/meet-th...

My take - some of us leave tabs open way too long because we fear not being able to get back to those sites again… it’s loss aversion. Tabs aren’t the core problem per se, it’s recall. We need to solve the “I want to get back here again” problem.

I primarily use Brave and effectively start fresh every day. I might get up to 20 open tabs at any given time, and I sometimes use tabs as a sort of Inbox that needs to be cleared. But sometimes, it’s best to declare tab bankruptcy and start over.

I'd say the real help would be in a new generation of cheap ARM servers. They're mostly impeded by how much variability there is in ARM processors, but having your drivers in the mainline kernel would make it far easier to sell to hardware manufacturers. I'm sure there's some incentive to keep these drivers closed source, but the potential business benefits go far beyond mobile devices.
