Yeah. It's actually also against what Peter Thiel says: Be the last to enter market, to do things right I guess. Another counterexample seems to be note-taking apps. Even though this is something native to many OS, there seem to be a couple of successful players: Notion, Bear, Roamreasearch. If you solve a relevant problem for people, who cares if something similar was available before but not solving the problem?

On a larger note: There's is so much contradicting startup advise out there it almost feels useless. Dunno, maybe those people who have the real insight are just to busy to share

For Australia it's our Raw Materials (Iron Ore, Coal that sort of stuff) and Natural Gas. China, Japan, Korea are huge trading partners.

Education is the other big item, Australian universities attract a lot of foreign students and that sector is a big money earner. On the radio this morning there was talk about standardizing qualifications making more Australian degrees recognized in member countries.

It comes along at a pretty interesting time there are a lot of tension between China and Australia at the moment. There's handwringing locally over China being granted 99 year ownership leases on some of our ports. Chinese telecom firm Huawei was blocked from our 5G network for "National security" etc.

China has been threatening to block (and in some cases have blocked) shipments of Australian products there have been tariffs on Australian Barley implemented etc, ostensibly in retaliation to some foreign affair stuff. Australia called for an international enquiry into origins of Covid which really annoyed China.

> The moment you try to fact-check one person, you open a very large can of worms and become responsible for fact-checking everyone.

This is untrue, and a false dichotomy.

An argument of the form "you must (do thing I want anyway) or (do impossible thing)" doesn't actually make any case for why those are the only two options, and in this case, those are not the only two options.

It's entirely possible to deal with things as they arise, on a case-by-case basis as you become aware of them.
Totally agree. I'm not passing any judgments on what they did. It's just that in other areas of policy, they've been apprehensive about China so I'm shocked to see this. They must have had good reasons for doing this so I want to better understand their perspective on this and how that ties into those countries' strategy for managing an emerging superpower that rivals their traditional ally.
I think it's less "convince Californians to leave" and more "convince Californians who want to leave to go to Tulsa specifically". For someone who has no ties to a particular place but just generally wants to go somewhere in the middle of the country, it seems much more plausible that their offer could make a difference.
Probably because it doesn't work. You're most likely to attract those with few compelling options anyway.
Exactly, Japan actually benefits more.
I think there’s still plenty of low hanging fruit out there, especially for B2C, people just aren’t thinking about it in the right way. Too many resources have been devoted to providing marginal conveniences (all of the delivery companies), or to entertainment.

I still think what the advanced world needs most is an easily accessible way to form strong human connections. Organizations throughout history, such as religions, armies, fraternities, and secret societies, have figured out that formula. But, obviously those groups aren’t a good option for everyone. Great relationships are the most valuable things we have, and, judging by how many lonely people are out there, they are in short supply.
Is this really the end of the road for Intel? If you're a PC gamer who uses Windows or a Linux enthusiast, you're probably running Ryzen which blows Intel out of the water in terms of value and cores (and recently IPC as well), and if you're on Mac obviously it's pointless buying an Intel product unless you really need the nVidia dedicated graphics or are buying a Mac Pro for a specific A/V workflow.

It's insane how quickly they fell behind.

I just wish it could be from a less environmentally-destructive source than natural gas. Sonoma County was actually going to be the site of the first commercially-viable nuclear generating station in the entire USA, at PG&E's Atomic Park on Bodega Head, but that never happened for now probably obvious environmental reasons.

But now I have to pay an average of $0.262/kWh for natural-gas-driven PG&E electricity, and the Sierra Club who stopped Bodega Head have taken funding from the gas companies[0], so I'm left rather unsure what to think and what to advocate for :/

Before we get too excited: "In particular, we deliver light-absorbing graphene particles (100–1000 μm in size) to the space between the electrodes using a slowly diverging laser vortex beam (see “Methods” section) propagating through a round hole in the first electrode."
This is far from self contained. I know that in the past people seeded clouds [0] to get rain but this is a lot of extra work that's needed. At that point it may be still easier to use the high power laser and guide the discharge. Saying this technology can help reduce wild fires is a bit premature but I wish them all the best of luck.

> But it’s also fundamentally different since Apple has total control over its own chain of trust. Other certificate authorities are not allowed to issue valid certificates for code signing as all certificates must chain back up to Apple.

To me this was the most curious part of the entire situation. The post briefly mentions CRLite and bloom filters; they rely on the list of all if not most valid certificates (which were impossible before CT) and it's understandable that they are not yet widely deployed. But Apple does surely know the list of all developer certificates and can simply publish a (probably compressed) list of serial IDs of revoked developer certificates that would be otherwise valid. I don't see a good reason to use big moving parts like OCSP here especially given the soft-fail behavior.
Perfectly understandable.

Nah I know I could get away with "unfollowing" certain people. I mean, eventually people will post new articles and I would click on them and be met with that vitriol. Mostly because I followed a lot of business related accounts and it seems like if any of those get picked up by the "general population" of twitter its open season on anyone that feels business/capitalism/startups aren't pure evil.

I do get your point though, it wasn't lost on me. I might give it another shot eventually.
Lol at the nominative determinism!
What is your means for gauging what "works"? To where do you point as your evidence? I ask, mainly because the notion that "libertarian" policies (of both left and right varieties) have been tried in the modern era is a pretty big stretch, to me.

Not even the shallowest stuff people typically refer to, like marijuana decriminalization/legalization laws, qualify as "libertarian" policies. All the states that have legal weed also tax & regulate it heavily with specialized state controls, so we can't call it 'libertarian' in the least.

You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding about what libertarianism is - not to worry, though, because that's pretty common and says nothing about you otherwise. Libertarianism is a radical political position to take; it does not fit neatly into today's political infrastructure. By suggesting it fails to address X, Y, or Z, you are simply projecting your own values onto a system which does not share them with you.

> They've failed to address the growing inability to normal people to have financial security

Libertarians have absolutely no interest in solving this problem. They are not trying to run peoples' lives, they are trying to relieve the people of the power that currently is wielded against them by the state and its cronies. The intent is to liberate people, so that they may be uninhibited in their pursuit of voluntary, peaceful interactions with others. What one chooses to do with this liberation is entirely up to them, and that's what being human is all about.

You are of course free to disagree all you want with these perspectives, but attacking libertarianism in the way you do isn't exactly fair.
Is it really a win-win though when alot of deals/projects now already languish?

If people think the investor covenant situation in the US is bad, it's that much worse in asia. A lot of money burning pits and lack of fast progress isn't really going to change unless the situation on the ground can actually improve and it wont happen from diktats (TPP, RCEP, etc) from above.

The article talks about the gene increasing the neocortex, folding of the brain, more neurons and so forth. There is no evidence that doing these things to a monkey brain will imbue it with (human) intelligence. For all we know it could have just made this monkey a better forager, or improved its natural problem solving instincts.

Better brain != human.
Google or Facebook would not post this because they would be combining the data. Instead it would be some meaningless claim that they don’t use the data for advertising or don’t sell the data, leaving themselves free to do anything else with it (plus, the “we can change the terms at any time” clauses)
China will of course use this treaty and every other tool to obtain their foreign policy goals, as do most countries (it's the goals and tools that vary). Among their current goals is to become the dominant power in East and Southeast Asia, displacing the U.S., and to become the dominant power in the world.

Trade treaties have long been used by countries for those ends. China in particular has heavily used economic power and arrangements to expand political influence. For example, loans to many countries are used to create leverage and sometimes seize valuable strategic assets when the debtors, which most observers knew were not creditworthy, cannot pay them back. For example, China has acquired ports that way (IIRC, the one in Sri Lanka?).

Also, regardless of the situation, China will have the most leverage in any negotiation of an economic treaty (as does the U.S., despite the disinformation that those treaties are to the U.S.'s disadvantage).

The source of the initiative, if that's the case (do you have evidence?) doesn't restrain China or protect the other countries.
China and Japan alone are a little bit smaller than USA and India. But the whole with other countries is bigger than USA and India.
> What Xi is doing now, such as halting major IPOs because of perceived criticism from successful CEOs

Let's be clear that the consensus now is that the regulatory changes were anticipated to come, and the power broker war manifested in halting ANT IPO.

Of course, Xi is very likely to be responsible for the stop of ANT IPO (no one really can have a substantial evidence, because of the Chinese government's way of operation).

But the worrying part is not that Xi has the power, he always has and will continue to have. One should be surprised if Xi somehow lost that power.

The worrying part is that a unprecedented financial monster feed on the huge data harvested from Chinese citizens privacy (not that Xi really cares about privacy) and practicing a risky lending scheme that is larger than any equivalent US counterpart, were let to rush into IPO in less than 30 days. And can only be stopped by a dictator in a totalitarian country

Everyone should be worried about the power wielded by private cooperation nowadays, they are able to challenge a totalitarian government. Image what they can do in a democratic country...
What is your take on the DevOps DORA research? From what I could tell of the explanations of methodology in Accelerate (as well as Jez Humble and/or Nicole Forsgren talking about it) they seem to do relatively solid survey-based work.
> Actually, what you wrote was "..activist groups will quite often ignore viable solutions. This is usually because they wish to keep on being activists and keep on continuing the fight."
You surmise in the text that the rejection of nuclear is just out of hand because solving the problem would end the fight. This is what you stated.

No. Note the words "often" and "usually" appear. Therefore not always.
I think WordPress as a private company can refuse service to whomever they like. There’s a big difference between a company not selling you something versus the government censoring you.

The complicating issue is that we are ceding more and more control of our public spaces to private companies. So, on one hand, a place like Twitter should be able to ban whomever they want, while on the other hand, at what point does not having access to Twitter represent a de facto censorship of public speech? I don’t think we’re there yet (or really all that close), but we’re headed in that direction.
well for one example, what was/is happening in xinjiang is happening all over the countryside (and outside the country too) in less strong-handed forms. children are being aggressively funneled into education pipelines and entire villages are being relocated to be closer to economic centers. in america, these kinds of population changes happen "naturally" at a slower rate, and in a lot of places it doesn't happen at all (e.g., west virginia). china is also offering this kind of aggressive proletarianization "service" to other countries.
And being forced to associate with someone by the government is just as tyrannical as being forced to not associate with someone by the government.
No it's quite literally done behind closed doors and we have no say in it. The last time a deal was proposed this way, it only came out when it was leaked - as it weakened our IP laws to that so they're comparable with the USA.

If we're able to be sued by US patent trolls or Apple for round corners, there's not a single company in this country that could afford to fight it. Singing happy birthday was never an issue in this part of the world.

No thanks.

Interesting.

Still, territorial waters extend for 12 nautical miles. Apparently, these satellites fly at 1100-1300 km. If ground stations (both SpaceX backbone routers, and mobile terminals) can talk to a satellite 45 degree above horizon, the satellite can connect the terminal with the ground station in a circle 1100-1300 km radius underneath (slightly less due to Earth curvature, but not by much).

Not gonna work in the middle of the Pacific, but might be good enough for many. For instance, one can sail from here across Mediterranean Sea all the way to Africa or middle East, while staying within reach of Europe-based routers. That’s assuming SpaceX gonna build them.
I'd be curious how uniformly they apply this policy. Is a website that promotes crystals to heal cancer going to be shutdown? Anti-vax? What about Jehovah's witnesses who don't allow blood transfusions?

Honestly, as somebody on the left, I do feel like there are certain topics that people get unusually emotional about (e.g. terrorism, airplanes, covid) and tend make choices that aren't proportional to the measured risk, relative to say smoking.
What I'm talking about is the nature of a dedicated access (1:1) single carrier per channel geostationary link, via a pair of modems such as comtech cdm760 and appropriately sized rf chains and antennas on both ends. It'll be a rock solid 492ms and the bandwidth (in Mbps) will be proportional to the size of the transponder space leased, and influenced by antenna sizing/gain, overall link budget, tx power on both ends and so forth.

Example: at one location, a 3.8 meter ku band dual linear polarity compact cassegrain dish in somalia, a 200W BUC+SSPA, good quality norsat PLL LNB, a cdm760 modem. Ten MHz of transponder space occupied total. Other end, a 5.5m dish with similar gear on it in a teleport in Cyprus.

If the person I'm replying to isn't willing or able to clarify whether they were in a contended, or dedicated network, or specify the gear, it's hard to say exactly why they're seeing jitter. But I can quite confidently say that excursions above 495ms are not something seen in a dedicated network.

It's how that dedicated capacity can get sliced up and shared that is the most common cause of packet loss, jitter and high latency in geostationary based two way satellite IP links.

The most common thing for a cheap VSAT isp to do is to acquire one chunk of Ku transponder capacity (let's say about $8000 a month worth), install something like an idirect hub with line cards in it, and sell access to individual end users in $developingnation at an 8:1 oversubscription ratio or more. Meaning that an end user vsat terminal might see 495ms at a lucky time when its peers in the same network were not also moving traffic, but could also often see latency anywhere from 500 to 850 during busy periods.

Now that same 8000 bucks a month of transponder space could equally well be assigned to a single high priority end user with money to pay, in which case they would never see above 495ms. Or it could be oversubscribed to all hell, such as if the ISP wanted to sell $280/month service to a bunch of very cost conscious end users in a developing nation environment who can only afford very cheap VSAT terminal hardware (one 1.2m fiberglass compression molded reflector, a 4W BUC, and an idirect modem) and minimal monthly ongoing payments. In which case each user will be in a 16:1 or worse oversubscribed network.

The economics of making a 5500 kilogram $200 million satellite in geostationary orbit pay for itself, before its lifespan is done in 15 years, are not favorable. If you ever want to truly be shocked go price the $ per Mbps per month that results from the 1:1 dedicated setup I described above.

On the topic of what the average hn reader considers "satellite internet". Based on consumer experience with the absolute cheapest consumer grade ku and Ka band vsat terminals in the usa, they almost 99% of the time mean Hughesnet or viasat/wildblue. Very few people actually have money or reason to lay their hands on real two way satellite stuff. Generally if you work for a company that needs something like a $3500/month link for a mine in Nunavut you're paying some third party experts to implement it.
Ahh, my mistake, I misread your initial comment to be about IDE's.

I would encourage you to try Gnome again. I use it everyday on a 7 year old laptop with Ubuntu, and it is impressively stable and smooth and a pleasure to multi-task with vertical windows.
I honestly cannot come up with any other explanation for why this is not taught in schools other than due to propaganda for Western powers.

Question for everyone.
Doesn't everyone know in the industry what makes great software engineers? And that usually there are only "blockers" that stops you from being great?

Let me give an analogy. If you're paid to play basketball wouldn't you know what makes a great basketball player? If you're playing pro basketball, you can be a great basketball player. The only reason why you can;t be great is because there are certain things outside of playing basketball that you have to worry about.

I guess i'm asking cause it's kinda annoying when people tell me what makes a great engineer. Anyone I know who has been doing this a few years knows what makes a great engineer. It doesn't mean they want to be a great engineer because the trade-offs arent just worth it
This reminds me of the saying about don't expect someone to do something when their paycheck depends on doing the opposite. That said yes a great software engineer would be writing software BUT would have said no to a lot of other tasks, so that the task she is working on is vital and has a big impact.
Plot twist: it's not the Adderall, but actually the ADHD. The engineers with an interest-based nervous system who have trouble switching off and hyperfocus on their latest interest staying up coding all night tend to learn a lot of shit faster than their peers because they simply spend more aggregate time doing it.

I genuinely don't think there's anything more to discuss on this subject that hasn't been discussed here 100x. I'm beginning to suspect that most of this stuff has more to do with attention seeking behavior more than anything else, and we should probably stop dignifying it with our attention.

IME most in DI heavy C# code (e.g. Asp.Net Core) you're using classes but those classes are really just a set of named functions bundled together with their dependencies, not unlike a closure. It's not very common to see classes that are stateful.

I've never tried it but I'm fairly certain that most C# IOC containers should allow you to resolve functions if you really wanted to go that route.
