> If you roam on the mainland with a HK SIM you actually hop the GFW automatically

This is quite interesting. So GFW is applied by ISPs exclusively on domestic SIMs? Does this mean any international SIMs on roaming hop the GFW?
I'm more interested in hearing about the philosophy which comforted Vietnamese civilians who had to live their lives under constant American terror-bombing than I am in hearing about the philosophy which comforted the bombers.
That's intentional, especially with CNN. The major news sites have essentially been tabloids since the death of print.

Sites from local TV news groups seem to be the most dispassionate reporting these days.
Deep interpolation – denoising data by removing independent noise
Interesting development by the Allen Brain Institute.
Such programmers are mythical for practical purposes. Look eg at the constant stream of memory safety vulnerabilities in browsers and operating systems.
I know very little about AI. But I think one could try to get AI to write an existing language.

Let me explain: Python, for example, is a language specification which has different implementations in different languages, most popular being CPython (commonly referred to as Python).

So if you fed the existing implementations of python to an AI and asked it to create a new one in some other language - I think this could be very well be a fruitful experiment.

This is what I noticed in Germany as well. The government keeps tooting their own horn on how in every statistic they're the best in Europe and the media parrots that while the younger generations just takes it for granted and doesn't bother questioning the poor decisions the government makes while they spend the public tax money like drunken sailors because hey, "we're Europe's no. 1, what could our government ever do wrong?"
I've had some success with setting `display: contents` on grid children to avoid having to flatten everything. More detail here: https://css-tricks.com/get-ready-for-display-contents/

I don't think any industries in the EU function like keiretsu, and what you're describing certainly isn't it. It's not the same thing as "just using small companies for everything".

It requires a set of small, interlocking companies, (many of which own pieces of each other and have very tight knit relationships) that form part of a greater supply chain. It requires trust and human relationships.

The set of companies in Shenzhen responsible for the "pearl river delta electronics manufacturing miracle" might be the closest analog we have today.

It is perhaps easier in manufacturing because standardization on interlocking components is easier, but it's by no means impossible in software, and with cloud computing we do have an emerging set of interaction standards (e.g. the S3 protocol).

I don't think that the EU actually will follow this path, because it requires pretty deep technical and economic understanding to follow through and policymakers who are resistant to lobbying from, e.g. SAP, but they certainly could, and the EU has surprised me before with smart policymaking where they clearly listened to experts (e.g. with GDPR).
Applying laws based on MAUs doesn't seem like a reasonable approach. MAUs are a self-reported and subjectively defined metric and the MAU threshold is arbitrarily chosen. Technology laws should not be applied based on apparent popularity.

I think a better version of this legislation would apply to any corporation that collects PII or collects browser activity outside of 1st party domains, in order to serve ads to users.
Good work getting TensorRT running we had a real pain in the butt recently when working with it and just opted to go with ONNXRuntime, their graph optimizer and their TensorRT backend -- may not be as fast as straight TensorRT from comparisons I've seen but it got us to a competitive inference and latency so we're happy with it.

If you’re upset about the system or the options, your other option is to vote a write-in. This sends a stronger message in my opinion: we call such votes “protest votes”, whereas not voting all all leaves the situation a bit more ambiguous to the rest of us.
Thanks for sharing this link. It helps catching up with news once a month or so.
I sometimes freeze milk, so the sell-by date is no indicator of how long it may have been in the fridge.

To point out a key difference between curdled and spoiled, there's not necessarily any smell or texture to indicate that milk has spoiled, and it isn't necessarily 'sour'.

For instance, my senses told me the tall glass I poured from a jug dated six months prior and downed half of in one gulp was regular milk at first, but if you'd blindfolded me, I'd have sworn from the coating left in my mouth and throat after I'd swallowed that I'd just drunk a glass of fish sauce. Its odor wasn't even detectable until the milk had warmed.

I surprisingly didn't get sick at the time, but just thinking about it now gets me very close.
I'm not sure what they mean there, but I'd guess they mean a hard fork. As with the Ethereum post-DAO fork, you don't have to accept it, but to the extent it seems legitimate, most of the value would go along.
Those resources won't really help OP. What they're talking about is better handled by bespoke ETL architecture alongside workflow orchestration tooling (like Airflow or Prefect) to handle versioning and deployment of modeling and ingestion services in production.

The orchestration part handles the workflows that comprise your ingestion and ETL processes. These are like managed cron jobs specific to data engineering lifecycles. The bespoke part of the architecture is what you'd compose together to handle all of the other requirements; for example, what applications do you build, and how do you design your data warehouse, such that the architecture can be used by both data science and marketing teams?
Data portability in the GDPR aimed at this (as the article says), but it was far too weak to have any effect and it seems no one cares about really implementing it. The only services that implemented something that resembles data portability are e-mail providers, and there it works mostly because there already is an underyling protocol that is built with federation in mind.

We really need more open protocols to make this happen. A doable strategy could be too look at markets with a lot of existing solutions (e.g. chat, task management, note taking, scheduling, document management, file syncing) and force the players to formulate a protocol that everyone adheres to. Since that will take a long time it's probably only doable for the core services, but having something like this e.g. for chat services would be incredibly useful.
Yeah, they're really barebones. Do everything yourself, which is nice tbh. Last time I used them though, they had some draconian restrictions on mail lists. A few complaints and your server gets shut down. I was just sending newsletters to subscribers.
There are different types of CBDCs with various focus areas, e.g. wholesale CBDC (banking innovation, similar to what you mentioned) and Retail CBDC. The CBDC model that is gaining increasing momentum, despite expectations, is the retail CBDC, which due to some form of overlap with banking innovation, retail payment innovation and cryptocurrencies (as the extreme) makes it a hot debate topic. The interesting observation here is that numerous Central Banks are passing the “debate” phase and some already getting ready to release aka “production grade”, e.g. China.
So instead of say Kubernetes I could use Nomad for orchestration of my todo list MVC and Temporal on that same Nomad host, and others, and non-Nomad hosts, for my distributed data pipelines, or cleanup jobs, or email marketing etc right? What I mean to say is: is that scenario one valid/proper use of Temporal as you all envision it especially within the context of tools HashiCorp provides too.

This is super interesting but I have what feels like a basic/dumb question...

Let's say I have some workflow which executes over a period of days or weeks, and I want to deploy a new version of it. How does that work? What happens to workflow instances that are currently executing?

After writing the above I clicked back to the site to see if this was addressed, and found this https://docs.temporal.io/docs/java-versioning and... surely you're not serious?
Is lack of corporate accountability exclusive to GAFA?

You can kill ~300 people and noone goes to jail. You can launder money for druglords and just get a fine.

What does a corporation have to do to actually suffer serious consequences, like jailtime or breaking up a company? Something that's not just 'cost of doing business'?
Well if it ends up working like that, that would be a huge success. But that's very unlikely here.

I agree, DARPA objective was to build industry; EU program objectives are to move tax payer's money into private pockets.

However, my argument to parent was, that DARPA was also top-down, and it was a success.
Unfortunately, truth hasn't published any articles. So far, only subjective views have been published by fallible humans.
Except Murdoch has significant competition.
Nonsense. Nothing in your comment is "denial". The guy got progressively iller. He "felt rough" at one point, and then felt worse. He was commenting on his own state and his perception of it, not making some great statement of it being nothing. He self-isolated throughout during his illness, before going to hospital.

This was all against the background of the government shutting down the country's economy in response to the virus. A torturous definition of "denial" if I've heard one.

Well, it is the author's source of income. Presumably, those customers will stop paying him if the code is released under a permissive license like MIT. I'm not certain what the financial impact would be of a GPL release.
This is going to end up as a giant hyperledger failure. Once the committee forms on how to do "this" it will be mired in indecision and eventually collapse on itself.
Very unfamiliar with Rust, very familiar with C++. As a reader of this Rust program, how can I figure out what's happening? I don't see anything in GlobWalker documentation that even slightly implies that the filter_map calls that follow are appropriate. Also, why the first filter_map(Result::Ok)? Implies the iterator emits Result? Hard to follow, to be honest.
When the rich and powerful rig the economy, then the real problem is when you read about it. Not that it really happens.
That's getting into irrelevant details, imho.

The point of EU programs is not to build anything, that's just an excuse. The objective is to funnel tax payer's money to politically well-connected.
Wait, FB Messenger has a semi-standard API now?
I don't buy the culture argument after looking at the success of China. I think it's a matter of having a big enough internal market to be able to compete with the American monopolies.

As always new languages have a huge benefit of having new code bases. If you take a C++ job now, 95% of the time it will be a code base that is at least 10, and likely 20-30 years old. If you start a Rust job it will be modern.
> But this is exactly the mindset that I'd characterize as an erosion of "respect for human rights".

Google "positive rights". It is widely accepted that there are some things we are obliged to do. The base state of our existence is not to do nothing.

You're trying portray what is in effect a public health measure into something sinister and I don't think it's working.

I stand by my assertion that the original point was a strawman. By and large, the initial lockdown measures were put into place by different countries with the goal of solving the immediate threat of overwhelmed ICUs and none were designed to last indefinitely. All of which were relaxed in the summer, but now have to be reintroduced partially in many countries due to the lack of other measures put in place to stem a second wave.
That is what i mean when i reference the clustering illusion. you have seen this pattern of numbers before in a different context and now believe this paper must be a forgery, because a number in it matches an unrelated pattern.

AFAIK its not yet into any standards, possibly because the semantics are really complex (don't know how rust specifies them) - useful discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/c75ipk/why_stdexpected...

We have to learn to compartmentalize political news and keep it separated from our personal life.

And we have to be honest with ourselves about our personal life. For many of us, and it's probably fair to say most of us here on HN, life is pretty good. But we have to put that statement in perspective to see it that way. Where I live, in the Ozarks, life 100 years ago was pretty tough and even compared to when and where I grew up life is pretty good here right now.

In fact it's pretty amazing. Stuff I find here on HN amazes me almost daily.

No, that would basically mean smart people would emigrate to US, in much higher numbers than they are currently already doing it.

I could pretty much say the opposite of everything you say and be correct as well:

IP addressing is not centralized.

DNS has a distributed common namespace with lots of delegation.

HTTP is peer to peer.

The easiest book to read about the personalities and history of this stuff is probably "the innovators" by walter isaacson.

If I compare the networking we came up with to the other types of networks available in the day the ip protocols were invented, I think what we have is remarkable.
Also, as most of the commentators from Japan here noted - most people here have never seen or heard of these utensils.

There are obviously some differences in how the Japanese eat stuff, but in general I can't say that Japanese are noticeably fussier when it comes to daily dining habits.

I think visitors often get the wrong impressions because what they see is:

1. Nice restaurants (not necessarily expensive ones), which are very particular about how they serve their food.
2. Enthusiastic hosts who go out of their way for infrequent guests - especially guests from abroad.

It all boils down to omotenashi - to be exoticizing a little, that's the Japanese spirit of treating guests with the utmost welcome.
To be more down to earth, this is all about cultural expectations. Restaurants and cafes try to present a perfect-looking dish, because this is how they are judged by their customers. Some (not all!) hosts might go out of their way and serve using their best dishes, trying to make restaurant-looking food to make good first impressions on a guest.
I think it's important to say the silent part out loud: "just use crate x and you can look up how the crate works behind the scenes if you are curious".
We've asked you before to stop posting in the flamewar style to HN.

I really like the idea of displaying the folders and their content on the homepage!
I would definitely pay for something like this, if it also has the possibility to create custom folders.
I'm still amazed that they did it this way... They could've easily gone the asymmetric way, no static IPs, no custom routers, higher prices, etc.

Looking at their offers now, you even get unlimited 4G with the gigabit fiber package for an extra $5.

People in the countryside now use unlimited 3G/4G exclusively, so fiber rollout is slower, but afaik still ongoing.

Not really sure what to make of it. Maybe they want to attract and retain people working online/remote. But that clearly isn't working, citizens leave the country at the first opportunity. Digital nomads are certainly welcome, though.

The average user doesn't care one bit, they just want to browse Facebook/VK/OK/Youtube.

Still, have to admit, it's a pretty great thing they're doing.
You're better off building your own router and and buying a separate wifi access point.

For example, you can buy this: amzn.com/B07FKMJGD6 - Put PFsense or Shorewall on it, and get one of the many Wifi APs available on the internet.

The downside is more appliances, but the benefit is that you can swap one or the other our when you upgrade.
It's true, but there's also a systematic problem.

I think one of the reasons, other than legislation, is lack of motivation; it is more or less egalitarian and that promotes mediocrity, not innovation. In US you can become filthy rich relatively fast, not in Europe, so why bother? Just see the IT salaries in Europe vs. Silicon Valley, they are a lot lower, so really good and ambitious people move to SV, don't spend time in Europe.

A Review of the Clover SPAC
I don't think the point is to create new giants, but rather to coordinate smaller players' efforts against the old giants. Obviously, there would have to be innovation taking place for that to happen, but it doesn't seem to be a goal on it's own.

Does anyone know much are European businesses paying for US and Chinese cloud services per year? If we can pay 10B€ in order to move 20B€ of spending back into the EU then I'm all for it, no matter if we innovate or just subsidize existing providers.
Do you ever type "prototype"? Do you ever type "prototype" in any language but JavaScript? How it differs from other languages accessing [[Prototype]] / class directly, not through constructor?

I've thought that's caused by prototype inheritance, but no io language [1] prototype based yet easy to understand. The only difference — it does not hide [[Prototype]]. I've redefined Object and Function to show how it works. You would get same result in "dead" files. REPL to make it easy to reproduce.

Imagine it is another language

object.private = function () { return 'hello' }
Object.shared = function () { return 'world' }
Object.constructor.static = function () { return '!' }

vs

object.private = function() { return 'hello' }
Object.prototype.shared = function () { return 'world' }
Object.static = function () { return '!' }

Can you see the difference? Or straight from io tutorial

Contact = (class {
constructor(name, address, city) {
this.name = name
this.address = address
this.city = city
}
}).prototype
holmes = new Contact.constructor("Holmes", "221B Baker St", "London")
Contact.fullAddress = function() {
return [this.name, this.address, this.city].join('\n')
}
holmes.fullAddress()

No "prototype" (except from class but it can be redefined).

> ... and that's not even what instanceof means.

Thank you, it should check [[Prototype]] not constructor

// Object instanceof Object
Object.constructor.__proto__ === Function
// Object instanceof Object
Object.constructor.__proto__.__proto__ === Object
// Function instanceof Function
Function.constructor.__proto__ === Function
// Function instanceof Object
Function.constructor.__proto__.__proto__ === Object

Some of the higher end Makita stuff still is. If you spend enough on a circular saw, they still make them in Japan. They also make a 6" and 12"(!) handheld power planer (not the stationary "lunchbox" style) that are AIUI made in Japan. That 12" planer goes for a couple grand US. That's the KP312 if you're curious.

Japan, incidentally, has a long timber framing tradition that's still relatively common in modern construction. This is part of the reason you'll see Makita and Hitachi tools in your US timberframer's kit; they still make the tools in Japan for the active local market.

You can read one book that recaps the events of multiple years in a fraction of the time that it takes to consume the news daily in fragment form, with the bonus that it comes with appropriate context. It is also easier to avoid sensational gore or celebrity tales that are for the most part meaningless (or the opposite if that is one's proclivity).
