The targeting of the Nexus line was completely different to Pixel though, they could easily have co-existed. And there was a gap between them. I've never worked for Google, but I assume 'kill Nexus' and 'launch Pixel' were independent decisions, the latter unforeseen at the time of the former.
A TPM usually only checks the software (firmware), you could theoretically plant something in the hardware and have it undetected by the TPM.

I am pretty sure there is no way to achieve that currently, but with such a concept, the device performing the checksum would be trusted (like a USB stick with verified HW+SW).

An example of such a hardware checksum might be a turntable, used to compute the inertia matrix of your hardware. Most tampering (like the bloomberg story plant) should be detectable, up to a certain scale. Unfortunately, it can be compensated, and is not effective against some classes of attacks (frying components, microscopic circuit tampering, etc). It depends on your threat model, anyway.
I thought this was deliberate though. FDR thought entering the war was the right thing to do but knew it wouldn't be liked by the American people. So he provoked Japan to force the US to enter the war.
I wish Containers would get some love. Ability to set root domain for example would be great, so I could keep all Bandcamp sites in a single container without micromanagement for example.

I also wish there was a simple way to suspend tabs, essentially turning them into the "ghosts" they are when you start the browser. So many times I want to keep a tab around for easy access, but they got some stupid JS framework running sucking CPU for no good reason.

That said, overall I'm quite pleased with Firefox and hope Mozilla keep developing it. We need a proper Chrome alternative.
Citation?

The US has a record of wanting to be hegemon and specifically wanting to export our ideology. China, not so much outside of their borders and immediate sea lanes.

Are you just assuming they want to do so because that's what we do?
People were complaining that central Paris was unaffordable before AirBnb, and they will still complain after AirBnb.

Highly sought after locations will always be unaffordable to most, but politicians cannot admit this fact (at least publicly) so they will continue to discuss the issue ad vitam aeternam, and obviously pressure groups will have a job for life.

That being said, I think people mostly complain about AirBnb because it turns their building into a hotel with people coming and going all the time.
>No government which supports this behavior, should be allowed to sit another democratic session.

What are you suggesting? Should NATO invade the US and depose the "illegitemate" government? Perhaps the US military itself should stage a coup?

Good luck with that.
That's my point. Other than printing a nice looking form (which includes faxing), the content of the field data is hard to reuse. Searching PDF content on your own hard drive is problematic.

Are there utilities that extract PDF field data and submit it to a database? I'd be grateful to see examples.

What about field validation? The PDF may have some minor validation, but that's no substitute for the validation done in a DBMS.

If you want users to be able to save a nice looking form, you'd still want the data entered online directly into a DBMS. I'd offer a "download PDF of your input" as an option, for example.
Yes we still do have the capacity to go to the Moon. It's not like we've stopped developing space-related technology. There are dozens of rocket launches each year, we have people manning the ISS all the time.

The way I see it NASA is not really looking for a challenge here. Quite the opposite: they had budget cuts the last few years, so they are are looking for easy money, trying to cash out on the whole political correctness craze, #metoo, etc. Congressmen have to approve the funding for this mission, otherwise they can be publicly shamed for promoting patriarchy, white supremacy, etc.
While they gloss over it, the price on this seems a bit steep. It's in-line or worse on most features than the iPhone SE and is likely quite a bit slower—it's limited to 3G in the US—and it's $150 more expensive. Seems like the more environmentally friendly move would be simply buying a used/ refurbished iPhone for half the cost with better performance.

Dotdash Acquires Simply Recipes and Serious Eats
I am currently trying to add it as a secondary host to a principal Mac workstation. Have a few windows only apps that would be more perform it on a native OS instead of a VM.

The first speedbump was the installation process was a massive consumer of time. I have a 2011 workstation class Lenovo machine, that originally shipped with Windows 7. However Windows 10 does not have the proper drivers to recognize the marvel disc controller, and the latest appear to be built for Windows 8. The reason this is frustrating is because Fedora 32 installs on this machine without a hitch and in a fraction of time. I wound up connecting a drive to the SATA channel originally used for the CDR. I don’t consider this machine old enough to be obsolete, but windows sure did not make a desktop installation very easy.

I’ve gotten spoiled by dealing with hardware config in Linux. Windows 10 seems to split things across a few “control panels“, and early on it actually feels less organized than windows 2000 through window 7. I used to run a lot of SQL Server boxes, and while the bass OS probably has improvements since then, I find the user interface to be cluttered.

WSL2 so far is a positive experience. It supports the shell scripting I’m used to, And target to the same disks Windows apps do, so at a low level integration is OK.

All in all it’s a mixed bag. Are used to find the differences between Linux development environments and the BSD equivalence on a Mac to be a bit frustrating. Except for WSL2, recent experiences on windows make me appreciate the Mac more as the desktop I need to have around for things like Microsoft office.
It was once an add-on, and it was once disableable. It may still be disableable, but I'm sure there's some strange procedure you have to go through to do it.

My company have to do this for one state government. They required the signature to be written black inked. It is PITA to do since we all have digital signature set up. But nope, this state government required the written signature.
The fairphone 3 improved this quite a lot! My partner's got one and it's definitely not as unreliable as the fairphone 2.

I only found it odd in that everything about the office seemed incredibly unappealing to me in terms of working there. Seemed to focus on things that employees don't really care about.

Having companies brag about their offices in order to attract talent, after all employees will spend 40-80 hours a week of their life there, is not that weird to me.
I am guessing many didn’t want to be an early mover on such a paradigm shift.

> Often things go well at first. I’ll feel I can sketch the basic claims, paint the surface; but when someone asks a basic probing question, the edifice instantly collapse

That to me doesn't sound like someone complaining about not remembering what they read, but someone complaining that they can't backup the arguments that they now consider their own. Books aren't meant to transfer the author's knowledge to the reader they're meant to offer an abstraction of the author's knowledge to the reader.

The writer of this post has no trouble remembering the abstraction, but without more effort the abstraction cannot be backed up.

In order to really make knowledge your own you have to do serious work. You can't just read one book.
I often find myself really bad at remembering what I read in a book or blog post or heard in a lecture on youtube or Coursera beyond the larger point, so I'd agree with the author at least that far.

However, when a question is raised relating to something I read, eor a point is stated that conflicts with something that I read, I usually find I can remember where I read about it. Even if I didn't internalize the idea I can look it up pretty easily, and 90% of the time being able to look up something is good enough. So I think whether books work depends on your goal: is it to perfectly internalize something, or to be able to have something you know you can refer to later?
It makes sense when viewed as: people only care about us vs them tribal crap. The modern era and access to information just puts a veneer of "reasoning" for justifying their own BS.

Can you discuss some of the advantages? The only advantage that comes to mind is that Apple has built-in support for writing PDFs and that has a lot to do with Adobe rather than PDF being a better candidate.

I’d imagine it will be easy for non-engineering roles to be moved to permanent remote. This also opens up the door to move these positions to low CoL areas and improve diversity hiring.

However, I suspect engineering for the most part will remain primarily onsite. Apple has a big secretive factor that probably keeps many things onsite.
Chinese citizens generally know more about what the CPC is doing than foreigners. They're not nearly as information-starved or brainwashed as you probably think.

The thing that would really blow many people's minds is that most Chinese people support the types of policies that people in the West find disturbing. One of the things that really surprised me was the level of support for the One Child Policy, for example. Part of this is that the news media in the West generally do a terrible job of describing Chinese policies - they tend towards sensationalism and demonization. The other part of it is that many people in the West have a hard time understanding the priorities and mindset people in a developing country.
I wonder how much of that is just the lack of really good IDE tooling for Rust? GoLand is pretty good, so I don’t know if similar question applies to Go.
The problem I am having is that articles like this make it to the front page of HN while not providing any sources of their own. We've seen a sharp uptick in anti-Chinese rhetoric over the last couple of years and most of it seems to be coming from the US State Dept. I have no special place in my heart for China, but this is too reminiscent of US propaganda tactics used to justify invasion in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya.
There will always be a segment of any oppressed population that is willing to side with their oppressors.

The one silver lining is that Bhutan remains free and independent and intensely preserves its traditional culture. Its language, religion, and culture aren't exactly Tibetan, but they're fairly contiguous. About roughly equal to the difference between Spain and Portugal.
It was also true in the US. Many major cities were losing population from post-WWII until about the late 1990s. (So not that brief.)

In a healthy housing market like the one I own a rental property in, long-term rental is a margin business while you have mortgage and taking to account wear and tear etc and encourages properties being kept in family friendly sizes and year round accommodation for people who need to live and work locally.

The airbnb model allows you to have much larger margins while the property empty for periods of time, promotes splitting properties into multiple smaller units to extract higher margin per sq ft and removes property from the market for locals.

Looks like it's often insufficient:

> Q: If a contract does contain a Force Majeure clause that includes “epidemic” or some form of the “other causes beyond the reasonable control of a party” language, does that mean one or more of the contract parties do not have to perform, as a general rule?

> A: Not necessarily. First, it should be noted there is not much jurisprudence in the U.S. that address “epidemics” as a Force Majeure event. So the courts have not, to date, had an opportunity to provide clear interpretation or guidance. That is likely to change soon. Second, there needs to be a real causal connection between the occurrence of a Force Majeure event and a party’s ability or inability to perform under the contract. By way of an over-simplified comparative example, consider today’s situation, where there is undoubtedly an “epidemic” of COVID-19 occurring. Most homeowners cannot simply stop paying monthly home mortgage payments even if the loan documents contain language that includes “epidemic” as a Force Majeure event. This is because the Force Majeure event, as expressly stated in the contract, has not directly created an effect that excuses the homeowner’s performance – to pay monthly installments to the mortgage company. In contrast, if a public school district engages a consultant to observe and evaluate students’ use of a new technology in the classroom, and the contract contains similar Force Majeure language, the government’s decision to temporarily close all public schools because of the epidemic precludes the consultant from completing the evaluation.. Very likely, the Force Majeure clause would excuse the delay in the consultant’s performance.

I was briefly in Amsterdam renting in an old wooden building (it was a nice place).

Anyway, the noise from surrounding Airbnb rentals just ended up wrecking it for me and I left the city as it was a city wide problem. Summer was just...noisy.

All night tourists were loudly coming and going, it really sucked and at the time it was a huge problem for Amsterdam residents.
Exactly.

I live in a small five apartment building. Two flats were remodelled at the beginning of 2020 for airbnb. That did not work out because of covid. The owner of one flat then decided to live there herself and she is a nice neighbor (the other flat is still empty).
