I don't have strong evidence to counter your arguments. I do have my doubts. First, it's been 20 years. What have we achieved in there for the good of the US? If not now, then how soon? Again, I don't really know any in-depth details. On the surface, the longer it takes, the more it looks some people just don't want to withdraw the troops. Second, almost all the allies of the US opposed that US stayed in Afghanistan or Iraq years ago. What has changed? The third, how do we know the allies were being unreasonable? The more we agree to them, them more they will praise us. Again, not saying they are being unreasonable. I'm just saying that I have doubts.

Assuming you’re considering a modern Thinkpad, I’d say Dell because Lenovo has been caught installing malware on their laptops. Dell has also explicitly supported and preinstalled GNU for longer (although they don’t necessarily contribute to it as much as eg. Purism with PureOS or System76 with pop!_os, but they have upstreamed drivers for their privacy features).

I use Unbound in a similar way, although I return 0.0.0.0 rather than NXDOMAIN.

"we expect it will be possible for web browsers to deprecate HTTP connections and require HTTPS for all websites"

Thinks about the implications of this. It will be impossible to host any web content unless you get blessed by a well-known CA (packaged in the platform/browser CA store).

That's why we have Let's Encrypt, right? Yes, thanks to them.

Now imagine a future where Let's Encrypt goes away, for whatever reason.

Now it's impossible to host any web content without getting approved by a commercial CA.
They were not. The polls were weighted by age, gender, location, and (the lesson from 2016) level of education. Final 538 numbers did the additional weighting with past electoral results and registered party affiliation I believe. I took the numbers as weighted by pollera but without additional massage from FiveThirtyEight.
Shou'en Li's answer to this Quora query[1] is insightful.

> In China, if you want to be a leader, you have to start from the grassroots level to accumulate rich government work experiences after ascending nine levels of posts (section chief, deputy division chief, division chief, deputy director of general office, director of general office, vice-minister, minister, deputy-state leader, state leader). With such experiences, you may have the opportunity to become one of the candidates for leadership.

I imagine for a FOSS solution we would have to make configurable every separable ranking algo and the option to toggle them in groups as well as build cli like queries around them (with a gui)

I'm starting to see a picture now. In stead of wondering how to build a search engine we should just build things that are compatible. A bit like The output of your database is the input of my filter.

Take site search, it is easy to write specs for with tons of optional features and can easily outperform any crawler. Meta site search can produce similar output. Distributed diy cralwers can provide similar data.

Arguably top websites should not be indexed at all. They should provide their own search api.

The end user puts in a query and gets a bunch of results. It goes into a table with a colum for each unique property. The properties show up in the side bar to refine results (sorted by howmany results have the property) Clicking on one/filling out the field/setting a min max displays the results and sends out a new more specific query looking for those specific properties. New properties are obtained that way.

The reality of semiconductor tech is that most people are not paying enough attention to understand when a company is doing well and when it's doing poorly. AMD stock was trading in the single digits well after the company was firing on all cylinders. Intel has encountered major bumps in the road since the early days of 10nm, yet research analysts and technologists alike were praising Intel all over the place until recently.

I wouldn't call it a KO until Intel 7nm chips come out. At that time, we'll see if this is a comeback story or just another IBM.

I strongly suspect its intentional. If you search for something on Amazon and then sort by price (lowest), unlike other sites the first few multiple pages of the results will be of very cheap related products but not the exact one you are searching for.
Ex: if you search for ‘shoes’ and then change sort from featured to price, your first few pages will be things like shoes laces, shoe polish, shoe soles etc.

This is totally unlike how things are on other shopping sites. (Try this on amazon vs Walmart)

This achieves two things from amazons point of view:
1. More often than users will be trained to go with featured.
2. It gives amazon the advantage of putting whatever they want in featured.

So amazon has successfully placed itself between the seller and the customer and modified user behavior so they (usually) go with what amazon wants you to buy (featured items) vs what you want to buy (cheaper items)

The Linux Foundation. A place where projects which have nothing to do with Linux go off to die.

FWIW Mozilla gave up on producing an alternative browser engine years ago, much to the annoyance of its developers. The recently brought out one for Android aka GeckoView, but I doubt if any developers will have some interest in using it.

When Microsoft ports its new Chromium based WebView2 which is currently available on Windows to both desktop Linux and Android I doubt anyone will be interested in GeckoView any more. Mozilla's current role is to enable Google and Microsoft to point out to regulators that there are alternatives to their market dominance and gain some referral revenue in the process. The simple thing is no one is interested in an alternative browser engine from Mozilla because they gave up on that ages ago.

While cool, I feel like if you're a guy who finds this service useful, you'd have trouble with the hard part of finding the concrete article of clothing that reifies the plan and knowing that it still looks good. As that's really the whole hard part of matching clothes.

There's a massive chasm between the abstract pictures of the clothes and what you could end up wearing.

I think it would be more helpful to let men select actual shots of real clothes with price tags that they can buy (clothes they might already have), and then generate images of the accompanying clothes along with with prices that they can buy. Much nicer looking at actual merchandise than an <svg>.

When I was in my early 20s and clueless about what looked good, I really just wanted to spin a "Next Model" button until a guy had an outfit I liked and then purchase it. For example, I would go on clothing sites and shop by looking at the male models. I precisely lacked the taste to go from these abstract <svg>s to concrete clothes. I wanted to see an actual look and just buy it or parts of it.

> Also: String handling, which is responsible for so, so, so many security vulnerabilities.

That's not really a counter-example. Sure the string handling was an unfortunately choice but it is the standard. The standard library must implement it as defined. Being standard-compliant is not lack of polish.
Well, looking at it from a game-theory perspective:

It might just mean that you have to be #1 in your local communist party to move up to the regional one, and you have to be #1 in the regional one to move up to the national one. Your chances of qualifying for each round up are inversely proportional to the number of people you're competing against, and their abilities.

In such a system, you're better off going to (or staying in) a more remote city in a more remote province, as the competition will be weaker, and your absolute ability is irrelevant.

If this view is correct, you'd expect that the assembly would be representative of a broad spectrum of regions, but that the upper rungs of leadership would be occupied by individuals from the most populous and richest areas. This appears to be the case (from what I understand).
I'm not sure that's true. In 2019 there were many articles in mainstream news outlets about Amazon's counterfeit problem, including a major (front page, I believe?) article from the Wall Street Journal [0].

They also received major negative publicity about the "Solar Eclipse Glasses" they sold that damages many people's eyes in 2017 [1]. I think it has cooled as a news topic, given the plethora of topics in 2020, but (again, anecdotally) I don't think the opinion has restored. At least it hasn't in my social and family groups.

Guaranteeing “access” is functionally meaningless. You already have “access” to healthcare in the U.S., it just comes with all the fleecing and abuse unto death that we have under the status quo. When you argue for “access,” that’s precisely what you’re endorsing. This is why again, other countries guarantee actual healthcare and not these kind of doublespeak vagaries.
They literally don’t if you want to understand the api and how the technology works.

I don't think your statement is baseless. But you are being emotional and completely dodges the OP's intention: I.e. US leadership have not been as competent in most major domestic areas as Chinese counterpart.

Of course, in the name of spreading democracy and universal human rights. I have no doubt on the sincerity. I just don't think the leadership has the competence to carry out those goals.

If you don't care about the bus-factor, you can have 10 projects with 10 developers. Actually, even more than that, because one developer can work on multiple projects in parallel, or at least have one active project and one or more mostly stable projects where they are the only person doing maintenance.

But of course with 10 projects you will need at least 15 managers...

The reason they add to over 100% is due to the 10% fee on profits which limits arbitrage. Specifically, all profits have a fee assessed but it doesn't account for money lost on associated contracts so if you buy Biden winning the election for $0.90 and buy Trump losing for $0.10 ---> if Biden wins, that contract resolves to $1 but you only receive $.99 due to the fee. Meanwhile you have lost $0.9 on your other contract. This effect is most noticeable in markets with multiple contracts (e.g., who will be named secretary of state).
Drew in his blog post talking about DuckDuckGo privacy issues, but his commercial startup Sourcehut does not offer the Privacy basics:

1. Account deletion

2. GDPR data request

3. Option to unsubscribe from emails

So right now his blog reminds me one famous US politician Twitter account. Never fix your own problems, just blame others more often.
The author of this article wrote Deep Work, which stresses the importance of, well, deep work over more shallow tasks like responding to emails (it is stressed that shallow is not intended to be a deragatory term).

I've seen his opposition to GTD expressed before and was excited to see it in long form, but left a bit disappointed when it was essentially just recommending a kanban style approache and some limitations on interuprting another person. I understand it is an open question though.

Though I do empathize with the addictiveness of productivity systems. As mentioned, it disguises itself as a form of productivity and can be easy to get carried away.

I think ultimately it comes down to how one implements their GTD system; I use it to offload stuff I don't want to worry about remembering (including outlines for projects), and am careful to limit my view to only what's currently on my plate. This allows me more time for 'deep work', but this work however is extremely unstructured, and I've come to learn that's a feature and breaking it down into a GTD style checklist is not at all effective for me. I think that's why it may be hard to come up with an equivalent system for deep work; it just doesn't lend itself as well to a GTD style approach, so perhaps my criticisms above were misguided.

Delays aren't necessarily underperformance. Let me offer an example.

If Boeing had delayed the rollout of the MAX 8, or even simply reduced the production rate, it may have been able to identify and rectify the MCAS failure mode, thus preventing suspension of the MAX aircraft. In retrospect, they could have delivered more aircraft prior to the pandemic and avoided many of the order cancellations that it brought.

Sometimes, it's better to go slowly and get things right than to forge ahead at full steam. We won't know if these 7nm delays are good or bad for Intel, until 7nm actually rolls out.
