You could just watch the House testimony? Trump clearly tried to use the United States' leverage to get another country's leader to create bad press for the man who he saw as his biggest threat to the re-election.

Imagine if nobody blew the whistle and the Ukrainian president did what Trump wanted. Trump could've beaten Biden off the back of that. Off the back of abuse of power!
Who knew? Probably anyone with a lick of sense. But if that's the only take-away, then one probably missed the point of the article.
See [0] for a SCOTUS-favourable perspective on Gore's original request and how even the Florida court version was tilted. As for recount results, wiki has a decent overview [1].

See especially the NORC results. The wiki entry argues that if the Florida court had continued the proceedings, it may have applied a uniform standard where Gore would have won - but none of the existing orders did that, they used standards where Bush would have won [based on NORC]. Anyway, by Dec. 12 time was running out, the Federal deadline was Dec. 18.

I believe that if Gore had pursued the fair strategy from the beginning than there would have been time enough for the uniform standard recount and no cause for the partial recounts and the appeals that wasted so much time.

Factorio is one of a handful of games I really wish I could play more but 1) I don’t spend enough time at my desktop to actually play it and 2) Could work very well on a tablet so it could be played anywher. Fortunately a lot of games on that list (Civilization VI, Prison Architect, FTL, etc) have been ported to tablets, but I’m really waiting on Factorio and Rimworld.

I know these small developers don’t have an infinite budget so I don’t expect anything of them unless it makes sense for their team, but unfortunately it does mean I’m less likely to play them. Which is a big shame because I’m pretty sure I would love Factorio.
> The "world" didn't "choose", because different parts of the world responded to the pandemic radically differently.

To play devil's advocate though, there is a certain degree of "peer pressure" that countries can put against other countries to "encourage" a different response. Travel bans and negative press alone are enough to pressure countries reliant on tourism to respond differently than they normally would have.

Also the examples you listed are mostly island nations, USA and EU have basically open uncontrolled borders between members of the union so it's very hard to control migratory spreading.

Game Engine Black Book Korean Edition
Query per second or qps limits is a good start, but I quickly learned that a 1qps limit to "free" access meant that all of a sudden it was a 1000 unique IPs that were making one request each.

Lots of botnets were highlighted this way, when one address searches for 'joomla v2.3', and the next IP searches for 'joomla v2.3', page=2, and the next IP searches for 'joomla v2.3', page=3, etc.

It was annoying but an interesting problem. We could implement any arbitrary policy and then watch as the bots adjusted to come in just at that policy limit. We banned entire Ukrainian ISPs (they were a big source at the time) and have VPN providers become the big users. We put in limits per day, I tried a "thermal" system where IPs gained "heat" by queries and "cooled" by idle time. We built a server with a "broken" IP stack that we could send the initial TCP connect to, the server would accept the connection and then never respond. A "black hole" if you will. The trick was we didn't actually keep[ sockets open we just pretended like we it was the other end of a TCP connection. It did everything correctly except complete the connection. That would cause any client using off the shelf IP stacks to hang indefinitely.

It is a game with no ending as one might say.
The OP comment posits Xi acts based on fear. This comment posits he acts based on zero fear. No where do they posit a rational basis for action or a concrete analysis of power relationships.

This is exactly the camp I'm in. I won't touch the new MBPro because of the touchbar (and keyboard woes), but I'm willing to concede the peripheral inputs if it means the thing is much lighter/slimmer and has better performance.
Without directly commenting on the performance of the M1 chip, I still believe the biggest hurdle is software compatibility. Apple's "universal binary" seems dubious, and I don't believe Rosetta 2 is anything more than emulation software which will have performance ramifications.

Microsoft has faced this same problem themselves. Releasing the Surface Pro X is a great example of a machine that is limited by software.

As others have noted in other threads, Apple's ability to run iOS apps natively on the M1 chip seems like a great mechanism to lower the switching costs, though I maintain the chasm left to cross is software.

This is all of course, notwithstanding the "locked down OS" concerns from the front page for the past day or so. Does an M1 Macbook Air with BigSur make a competent development machine?
Importantly, it's vital people don't look down on engineers which don't work at the very lowest levels of abstraction. There is quite a lot of value gleaned from abstracting the electrons away.

That doesn't in any way explain how culture leads to profits. The strongest argument you're making is "better culture means better performance" but that's incredibly hand-wavy in this context, and performance isn't even tied to profits in any way in your example.

It might be why you'd want to work there, but it's not a reason to invest there.

Absolutely! For me it feels as if Mac OS repeats the errors of MS Windows Vista and 10. For instance, the horrible telemetry as well as the suboptimal "one interface for touch and mouse pointer" paradigm.
A 1050Ti is a three generation old card and was bottom of the line when it came out, so not too bad for integrated graphics.

It's plenty for everything but modern gaming, and since those games aren't likely to be ported to ARM on Mac anytime soon it's not a huge problem. Apple has always had something of a rocky relationship with game publishers, at least on the Mac. Lots of older games will probably work fine, assuming the driver situation isn't a nightmare. Apple is somewhat notorious for neglecting graphics card drivers unfortunately.
Please neither start nor perpetuate political flamewars on HN. We don't need fiery arguments about endlessly repeated details that are available everywhere else. We need thoughtful, curious conversation on non-obvious topics of intellectual interest. Political interest may intersect with intellectual interest but the two are not the same, and they become disjoint as passions rise.

I think loss of face is a very misunderstood concept.

When is the last time you as a westerner, which I assume you are, bragged to your friends about losing face that time you slipped on a banana peel?
To add a bit more details I heard of:

* The clamp down on fintech has been on the agenda for a long time. Rooted in lessons learned from western crisis, the most recently, 2008 financial crash. The P2P disaster happened since 2018 [1]. The short boom and bust cycles in Chinese stock market [2].

* Totalitarian government controls all major aspects of economy is by design its right and purpose.

* Jack Ma made the speech not because he is sure of Ant IPO, but because he was angry that the IPO is bound to fail one way or another. So he was pissed off and made a rant speech. Listen the speech yourself, he is making grandiose claims, but meanwhile his version of innovation is nothing but copying the risky financial schemes that already caused disaster before. That's a true rant, the quality of thoughts is the lowest among all of Jack Ma's speeches which are already quite low when comparing him to others with similar status.

* Ant financial indicates a strong collusion between Jack Ma and Ant and some powerful people in CCP & government. Ant IPO price is 68.8, the stock serial number is 688688. In Chinese, 6 is pronounced same as 顺 (meaning everything goes according to one's own wish), 8 is same as 发 (in Cantonese, meaning getting rich). This means that Ant was getting preferential treatment that is way beyond normal expectation.

* Among many stakeholders of Ant, one can easily found many brokers of powerful hidden figures in CCP. For example, Zhao Wei's mother. Zhao Wei, who were barred from stock market because of previous misconduct [4,5], whose husband Huang Youlong was a driver of the corrupted CCP member Xu Zhongheng. Zhao Wei and Huang Youlong married shortly after Xu Zhongheng were prosecuted [6]. It was widely rumored that Zhao Wei was Xu's mistress, and Zhao Wei and Huang Youlong ensnared or inherent Xu Zhongheng's embezzled fortune.

I've spent some time watching busy fry chefs at McDonalds or whatever, and the process they do always fascinated me.

Local restaurants would indeed, write everything down. These "written systems" are also fascinating to watch, with so many pieces of paper being "slid" down the kitchen, ensuring that everyone's orders were being done correctly.

But many restaurants, like the one in this post, do everything by memory. So that's much harder for me to see what's going on, because all of the thoughts of the workers are internalized. So you really need someone to explain the thought process out in words to understand what they're doing.

I'm happy that somebody with experience finally typed it all up. These little things are the stuff I'd like to learn, even though I never really want to have that job.

Next in line for things to learn: grocery store logistics. I've watched people loading milk up at the store and / or eggs, and ensuring that all items are sold (and pushing the older sell-by dates in front of other jugs) is a thing that they've definitely been keeping track of. But I'm also fascinated by those logistics. There's clearly a bunch of little "elves" who are behind the scenes, making sure everything runs smoothly here.
Except that it's entirely wrong and cost a lot of people a shot at building their own DoorDash before someone else did it. DoorDash will still face many regulatory challenges, but none of the points made in that parent statement are reflected in the S-1.

This type of statements and the type of people behind them are the only reason why startups are successful. On paper, two people in a garage have no chance against a multi-billion dollar conglomerate. Except that in many of those companies, there's a dude walking around and sharing those wonderfully brutal views.

Let's get very specific - why didn't Amazon launch food delivery? Clearly, they are keeping an eye on the space and are trying to make Instacart's life as difficult as possible. There's a very good chance that there's someone at Amazon who at some point said a bunch of rubbish about this idea and slowed down their expansion into this space, which is now going to be extremely expensive. But it will certainly come, and that dude will have cost his employer billions of dollars.

The same way that we drag people over the coals when their startups fail and burn millions of dollars, I think we should do the same with the people who cost their employers the same amount of money.
I.e., just dirt. All else must be manufactured in small spaces, where possible at all.

Piece work has existed for at least 500 years[1] and those were definitely "flexible jobs that you could engage with at any point in time."

I'd love to have some sinophiles explain Xi's strategy, what motivated him and his cohort to accelerate their time line.

China has Hong Kong. Full assimilation, normalization would eventually happen. The local's were onboard and content. Why make a fuss now?

Taiwan also wanted full normalization, eventually. So much upside. Wait another generation and few people alive would even remember what the fuss was about. Call it reunification, cousins remarrying, federation, whatever.

China's subjugation of Tibet and the western provinces were fait accompli. The critics were completely impotent. Why prove them right, breath oxygen into their opposition?

Harassing foreigners, thereby pushing them out of the country.

My guess is Xi felt compelled to act aggressively now to head off upcoming crisises. Something the insiders see better than is yet publicly discernible. One or more things that will rock the legitimacy of the ruling party. (The upcoming demographic bust is even worse than expected. Public finances are terrible. To forestall any correction of official GDP measurements. Widespread accounting fraud and corruption. Environmental degradation leading to food shortages. Exodus of manufacturing to Vietnam, Malaysia, others is faster than admitted. Probably a dozen other credible threats.)

Neither of those papers cover any of the technology or ideas behind what Melodyne introduced with polyphonic note editing, which allowed the editing (in time and/or pitch space) of a single note within the audio of a polyphonic performance.

Measles is much, much more contagious than Covid-19.
The case of Australia doesn't disprove the fact that there are countries that managed to have even better response, with even less negative effects to their people. It illustrates how every environment has its unique challenges, but doesn't disprove that better responses (observable mostly in Asian countries) are possible.
> USA is not bad at all, number of case is high but most of it are asymptomatic or only have mild symptom. What bad is the government reaction in some state that put so many covid related restriction. how are u thinking of locking people is beyond me, it makes people suffer, its harmful.

The USA has the highest number of deaths from Covid of any country on Earth, by far. One of the worse numbers per capita as well. To put it in perspective, in 2018 435,000 people died of Malaria around the world; the US alone has lost 225,000 people to Covid - more than half of that.

Also, you have to understand that the restrictions are the only things that have kept the numbers so small. Everything we've seen from regions that didn't take measures to curb the spread shows that numbers could easily be 2-5 times the current numbers. How you can look at those numbers and think "yeah, but wearing a mask is, like, annoying" is beyond reason.

And please remember that cars have a huge upside, and that they are heavily regulated exactly to reduce the number of deaths. You need to pass an exam just to get in the driver's seat of a car. You have to pass all sorts of expensive tests to even put a car you built on the road. You're not allowed to drink before driving. You have to wear an uncomfortable harness the whole time you're inside a car etc. - there are many restrictions that we accept to make driving safer.

Similarly for Covid, there were all sorts of annoying restrictions to keep people at least somewhat safe. The equivalent of banning all cars would have been that everyone except doctors, emergency personnel and the military can't leave their house for 2-3 weeks, and the pandemic would have been over. But just like we can't ban cars altogether, it's not realistic to do that, so we had to accept lesser measures that offer lesser protection.

But from there to "any kind of lockdown is, like, really bad" you have quite some way to go.
While that would work for most text transfers (or otherwise low-bandwidth usage), many other use cases would be near impossible to get to work with good performance over Tor. Think video hosting and similar.
