Oxford Dictionary's definition of terrorism:

the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

From Iran's perspective this is terrorism. From the US/Israel's that is probably not simply because I believe that there's probably a lawful mechanism for these governments to carry out this sort of action on foreign soil. For them it's "raison d'Etat".
These companies were not financed by venture capital (except for some cryptocurrency companies, which are popular here indeed). Also, some of the software companies were moved here for tax reasons, but they were founded elsewhere.
Your claim is that we've had trouble coming up with technology going FTL because physicists forget that the speed of light is the same as the speed of causality?

I'm probably misunderstanding what you're saying.
Or they know that Iran will hold back to not provoke the new Biden administration. If Iran wants the US to rejoin the agreement and loosen the sanctions their hands are tied.
Sorry, but this doesn't scale. You have finite time available, you cannot be a master of everything, and recognizing this and asking for the opinions of those who are, is the right way to handle that.

> Trump is still attempting a coup

Trump has been a sore loser in this election, but to my knowledge he's only pursued legal avenues to overturn the election results. He also stated that he would leave office if the electoral college voted him out, even if he won't acknowledge that he lost the election. This is bad, tasteless behavior, but not a coup in any sense of the term.
I'd expect it to work via Rosetta. Alternately, it's a Go project—I'm not sure what the status of Go is on Apple Silicon, but once that's figured out it should be a relatively easy recompile.
The thesis of the article is that the US economy's "Great Stagnation" in productivity is due to a lack of innovation. There are no goalposts being moved.

Contributing to a company attempting to be innovative doesn't mean that you are being innovative, and so the degree at which you are capable of innovation doesn't matter very much. As for people being recruited specifically for innovation, there is essentially no limit in their immigration.

It's definitely a problem regarding government sites - the UK even has a page advising their own government agencies to not rely on them unless absolutely necessary[0]. US government sites have simply resorted to putting everything behind a login wall and verifying identity, such as is the case for ssa.gov and healthcare.gov, or just not caring and letting spammers do whatever they'd like (typical for local-level governments).

> How do you use that much RAM?

Typically you'd be operating on a lot of data of some kind and gain a lot in productivity by being able to keep all of it (ideal case) or large chunks of it (sampling, LRU cache, etc) in memory all at once.

Having more RAM also enables some workflow changes. You can aggressively point things like intermediate compilation steps or testing databases to a ramdrive. Any time you're doing anything moderately expensive you can cache the result in RAM to make it cheaper to use next time. When choosing algorithms you can bias heavily toward time in any time-space tradeoffs.

> Do you think most developers can benefit with this much RAM?

I'd wager they could use more than they have typically ;) But no, 512GB seems excessive to me for most developer use cases with today's software. In my current job I haven't had a single use case for that much, and there have only been a few instances where 128GB would have been much more productive than what I have.
Trust me, there is no such thing as a European Silicon Valley, and there won't be one any time soon.
> Perhaps you have heard that there are few taxes in Switzerland; this is not true

Can you expand? In Germany, the VAT tax ranges between 8% and 19% (temporarily reduced due to Corona). In Switzerland it's between 2.5% and 7.7%. Is it the customs you have to pay for importing things?

Hi Peter. Do the new H1B wage requirements also affect those already with a H1B but seeking renewals? (for ex, if they're in the green card queue)
I did not use the word oppression. Personally I think it is more lack of imagination.

Given the current state of technology, it is fairly easy to know who is the father of a kid.

Personally, I do not feel the drive to polygamy, in particular because I think it is very emotionally demanding of all the participants and ultimately exhausting and unstable.

I don't know what the "natural forces of nature" are, but of course many, many animal species do not establish monogamous relationships and they still manage to surivive.
> “just because light is contained to only go that fast doesn’t mean matter has to be constrained to only go that fast.”

See, I'd try and frame it as "just because Causality constrains light to only go that fast..." and try to think what Causality is. And if Causality is a property of spacetime then how would I go about building a "Causality Engine" in order to alter spacetime in such a way that the speed of Causality can be broken ;)

My mind is warped - pun intended.
My understanding is that once you have an approved I-140, an I-485 pending for over 180 days, and an EAD, you can pretty much do whatever you want (including nothing) so long as by the time your I-485 is adjudicated you then have a same or similar job. Is that correct?

There's oppose publicly and there's oppose behind closed doors. There's also being pissed off behind closed doors and taking less public actions to make it felt.

> In 2019 Switzerland attracted $ 445 million of investments.

With twice the population of Silicon Valley this alone points to "no". If you add SF and the rest of the Bay Area, the populations become much closer, but the investment ratio is far worse.

Of course the economy here has become rather lopsided over the past 20 years while Switzerland's economy is more diverse. (e.g. I don't think I've drunk local milk since the dairy in downtown Palo Alto closed.)
While you’re correct, you’re being downvoted probably because you’re taking this seriously. I’m sure most everyone here knows infinity isn’t a number, but a concept, but you never know.
Definitely part of it, along with the cult following he's managed to gather here.

Quite ironic to see the high priest of HN commanding his devotees on how to think for themselves.

I commute on a specialized turbo vado sl, a similar lightweight e-bike. An electric bicycle this light will handle more like a conventional bicycle, and it’s easier to lift up steps or load onto bike racks.

> This seems like a pretty good deal on balance, at least for those who can accept that the world is not perfect and very often the loss of a single life is the best one can hope for to prevent the losses of tens or hundreds of thousands of lives.

There are plenty of assumptions here tho. Because I am not sure such an act "can save lifes", or in fact, it keeps reinforcing the hegemony of US, IL and SA in killing systematically and waging wars in the region... My point is: is murdering a top scientist/politician useful to save "tens or hundreds of thousands of lives" or is this facilitating the killing "tens or hundreds of thousands of lives" in Palestine, Yemen, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and destabilizing the region?
Many probably are. The ones that do well on both sites know how to adjust their comments to match the site they’re on.

I always used to wonder when I see a 'Pie' or other items specific to U.S./Western countries on re-CAPTCHA if people there would get it right if a Masala Dosai/ Idli (Common South Indian food) or Moimoi (Common Nigerian food) is shown.

Also it makes me wonder the success rate of people working in CAPTCHA farms(unfortunately), which I'm positive are not located in Western countries. Perhaps a large print outs of Pie, side walks are hanging on their walls and they just have to get it right couple of times to understand what it is.

P.S. I recently received an CAPTCHA on LinkedIn to identify a 'Spiral Galaxy', although that made me happy, the questions raised about CAPTCHAs seems validated with it.

Not a valid analogy. The allies were trying to beat a fascist autocracy that had just ravaged multiple countries and committed heinous war crimes with no indication of having a willingness to slow their pursuit. That's in no way comparable to the current situation of Iran building a nuke to deter or obliterate Israel.

Technically that's true of the Iranians too. You can't credibly say that Israel or the U.S. hasn't been 'messing with them' for ages, can you?
My experience with Dr Racket is the same.
It might not let you go FTL, but this would seem to imply that you could get going extremely fast without a reaction mass to perform the acceleration. That alone would make shorter interstellar trips like the one to proxima centauri feasible as far as time goes.
USCIS offers guidance on its website but I'd recommend that you spend 15 minutes with an immigration attorney to understand the immigration options and issues (because the USCIS guidance is limited).
> we never prototyped in FPGAs. Most designs will not fit into a single FPGA and designs involving multiple FPGAs are a headache and the design diverges rapidly from your target due to all the overhead associated with coordinating multiple FPGAs.

It definitely depends on what you're building. When I worked on GPUs at Broadcom and CPUs at arm (and now working on OpenTitan: https://opentitan.org/) FPGAs were used. At both companies you could create a sufficiently small configuration of the design that a single FPGA was a viable target without requiring heroics for coordinating multiple FPGAs (For the GPU turn down the number of cores, for CPU I was working on the little designs A55 and such which you could fit in a sufficiently large FPGA).

Though I'd agree FPGAs aren't often used a prototyping tool. They're used for verification and often once the design is fairly mature (they're inevitably a pain to setup and use so you want to iron out all the stupid bugs first, FPGAs are most useful when you need to be running many cycles to find an issue).

If that's true then this essay is hilarious. Independent thinkers are the ones adhering to the capitalist status quo rather than the people trying to challenge it?

Sounds backwards.
Why would I have any reason to picture it in that way?
I hope there won't be one, at the end, what good really came out of Silicon Valley anyway? The good parts can be equated to any other place where innovation takes place, be it in Europe or elsewhere. The rest is tons of crap and speculation.
This is a great story, told about Gust, with mucho gusto! There are so many underleveled people in organizations, and it's surprising how companies will shoot themselves in the foot over a few tens of thousands of dollars. And yet, not surprising.
Independent thinking is just part of being more creative. Unfortunately as people keep following the tale, this is perhaps an illusion of being unique
It's a problem of incentives. Books sell much better than post-it notes, so if you have a brilliant insight you better come up with at least 100 pages of filler to turn it into a book. Or at least make a one hour conference talk, a 10-minute youtube video, a 7 page research paper, or a three page blog article.

The only medium that rewards getting to the point is casual conversation, which is one of the reasons why on conferences you often learn more in five minutes of talking to the right person than in the entire rest of the day.

As an American immigrant to Switzerland, don’t move here to be on the cutting technical edge. You will be sorely disappointed. It’s a function of societal mentality (slow to change as a way of ensuring enduring stability) and size (fewer people, fairly spread out, only two or three cities big enough to be tech hubs).

I moved here for a lot of other reasons, and I’m very happy with my decision and its benefits, but a startup cutting edge country, it is not. If you want that, try Estonia!
Swiss culture is all about safety, confidentiality and responsible spending of already earned money. Additionally, the prevailing business model is that of the Mittelstand small-to-medium enterprise. Small factories spread throughout the whole country, highly specialized in one thing (producing mostly bits of industrial equipment), co-dependent on other such companies to form the economic blood system of the country. A fascinatingly-organized society, nevertheless. From a Bulgarian who has been there for 1 year.
This is just my opinion but, as I said, people don't want to think about it or believe it. The pandemic should be a wake up call, both in terms of demonstrating supply chain disruptions and in terms of people refusing to wear masks and those ignoring shelter-in-place directives.

> That's why the WTO TRIPS agreement exists.

As far as I can tell, TRIPS includes the EU PDO protections, so why are US companies selling "fake" EU food products when the US government agreed to respect EU PDO trough TRIPS? Do EU companies simply not sue against that in US courts? I tried looking for cases like that, but I couldn't really find any examples.

> Everyone agreed to the same laws, and agreed to allow foreigners to sue domestic businesses, so it doesn't matter who has jurisdiction over what.

China is also member of TRIPS, don't have Americans the right to sue in China? Why is that not good enough when it's apparently good enough for EU PDO being violated in the US?
Perhaps. There's lots of corruption in the world. Consistent and unrelenting corruption of American Unions contributed significantly to their downfall, whether or not other forms of corruption exist.

One of my first jobs was working part-time in a grocery store: collecting shopping carts, "clean up in aisle 7", stocking shelves, etc. I was 16 and forced to pay dues to a union. The dues were deducted from my minimum-wage paycheck. I had NO opt-out option. I worked maybe 10 hours per week? I was a high school student. I got ZERO benefit by paying union dues. This extortion was corruption in itself, nevermind the executive-level corruption that makes headlines every few years.

It's not really a claim, it was a pondering - a thinking out aloud.

Don't know why you are talking in absolutes here. There's quite a bit of venture funding outside of the cryptocurrency space.

You are absolutely correct that Gmail followed a winning strategy; they’ve won, after all. The same is true of Facebook. From the point of view of corporate success, they are doing the right things. My point is just that these are not good things, in the larger sense.

Thank you for informing me about the role of Outlook in this. I used Gmail as my example because it seems to be taking over, at least for “normies”, as you call them. So the average person’s idea of what email is comes from experience with Gmail. It’s possible I’m underestimating the importance or prevalence of Outlook, as I deal less with corporate types than academic and publishing types.
