If you want Chinese exceptionalism, watch Wolf Warrior 2. I watched it in a theatre in London full of Chinese people, and it was a surreal experience, because to me it felt like watching a Chinese version of Hot Shots or similar crazy parody, but nobody in the cinema were laughing.

I really enjoyed the movie, but it also shows Chinese filmmaking reaching the level of over the top patriotism you saw in 1980's US war movies.

American studios eventually turned to mocking that, as in the aforementioned Hot Shots movies and others. I wonder when we get to see the same mocking of Ip-Man and Wolf Warrior by Chinese movies.
I think it's a sliding window rather than a stretching window.

They're the tunes that grandma remembers listening to in her childhood.

In 30 years, grandma will be dead, and the cultural heritage will be the tunes mom remembers listening to in her childhood.
You want those lines though, glue software engineers tend to get really bitter when they get quizzed on computer science stuff, so it is in their best interest to draw the line instead of arguing that they should have the same title.
Echoing everyone else, but, audiobooks.

I read/listen at anywhere between 2x to 3.5x speed, depending on the book and the narrator. If it's nonfiction, it's usually on the higher end, and if it's fiction, usually on the lower end, but again, it depends on the narrator themself.

In addition, I read when doing everything. Exercise? Reading a book. Washing dishes? Reading a book. Commuting to work? Reading a book.

A regular-sized book is between 10-20 hours of listening time. If you listen at 2.5x speed, that's around 7.5-12.5 hours-ish. If you commute 30 minutes a day each way, and only listen in your commute, that's already a book almost every week. Add in doing chores, exercise, etc, and you're getting a lot of reading time.

(For the record: 2 kids ages 2 and 4, and I read about 90-100 books a year, ranging from short books to long epic fantasies. But I also listen to podcasts quite a bit so that cuts down "reading" time as well.)
Largely because Rust has grown massively and Mozilla isn’t even close to its biggest sponsor at this point.

Azure, AWS, Google Cloud are all major Rust sponsors at this point. It doesn’t make sense for Mozilla to remain a major sponsor for a product that almost certainly can and will exist, and likely flourish even more, as a more independent project.

At this point Mozilla’s ownership of Rust would likely only cost resources and serve to limit the growth and development of rust.
I have a big family including several young children and still manage to read about 25 books a year.

My method: we got rid of our TV a few years ago. I know that is a well worn statement on HN, and probably comes across to some as a virtue signal. That's not my goal, just relating an anecdote. But no TV is strangely freeing. To those thinking about doing it, I'd say unplug it and put it in the closet for a few weeks and see what you think.
Cooking streams are going to have to think up new words to refer to certain kinds of olive oil.
Because offending each other tends to make everyone angry and bitter. Being angry and bitter is generally not fun. Many online communities are joined with the intention to have fun, so it kind of defeats the point.

Of course, that's not always the point. I doubt anyone joined 4chan due to its reputation for being a "nice" place.

Scientific was discontinued and the sponsoring organisations switched to CentOS 8. It looks like the work involved in rebuilding RHEL 8 was too much to deal with.
Support. Commercial software packages that you may want to run often come with a list of supported operating systems which usually only includes RedHat and maybe SuSE. Ubuntu and Debian are rarely officially supported. And although you usually can get things to work somehow, your application software support will be useless because all tickets get closed with "unsupported OS, use RedHat". With CentOS you at least might have a chance to get a non-useless answer from you application's support team.
You don't see any hint of irony in that statement from someone who leaves artwork in public spaces without asking the general public for permission first? The same artist who destroys his own art, which he left in public, when someone tries to "own" it?

Claiming that everyone who works at Google works on Ads is like saying everyone who works at Amazon moves boxes in a warehouse.
> Yes, one can cherry pick 8 sources. Most of your sources were unscientific media articles, and most of those from left-wing activist outlets.

That was like just the first 8 articles describing it, as I said, there are certainly many more if you were willing to entertain another perspective than your own dogma.

So do you deny that the entire concept of planned obsolescence exists at all, or that there is something other driving it than the free markets pursuit for more profits? If so, why wouldn't more profits as an incentive not be pursued using planned obsolescence?

> You and I both know that you weren't claiming

Haha, alrighty then. You know what I actually meant.

Why would I stop at a more narrow definition when criticizing the incentives of the free market, when all types all grounded in that same incentives?

The last self-congratulating paragraph is not a good look: "I'm good, honest and righteous. You, however, are purposefully lying and have no time for truth and decency."

You have posted a single link that show, allegedly, that specifically cars are more durable nowadays. That's blatant cherry-picking. How is that honest and in good faith? I expect someone that's honest to research the topic and try to find other examples contradicting ones idea, and that is not very hard as I shown with a few links. But instead you go on the defensive, dismiss the links as left-wing, and yet again try to hide behind telling me what I actually meant with planned obsolescence, even though it was in direct reference to the supposed "efficiency" of the free market.
Unfortunately, the way we've structured our economies and societies in the western world depend on continually greater consumption. It demands a constant upwards curve of resource consumption, otherwise it breaks down.

The first thought in most people's minds when they hear of a crisis is "what can I buy to help?", and many others go straight to "what can I sell?"

At the very least, they could sell something that is actually useful, instead of crap merch that serves no other purpose than to sit on a shelf for a while before being thrown in the trash.

Even better, start using Patreon to fund their media content directly, and offer non-physical bonuses for higher tiers, like early access and exclusive content.

It's hard to break out of the current consumerist paradigm, especially for the average content creator. But they should as least try to do the least possible damage within that paradigm, while advocating for a better way.
Only differences between player ratings matter for Elo Numbers.

You can add 1,000,000 to the ratings of all players on lichess, and it wouldn't change a thing
The AP similarly used mental gymnastics to justify capitalizing black but not white: see https://apnews.com/article/7e36c00c5af0436abc09e051261fff1f and https://apnews.com/article/9105661462

It’s remarkable that journalists can claim, as the AP does, that white peoples don’t have a shared culture when they also write articles ascribing a culture to white people and blaming it for all of society’s problems. The obvious inconsistency just seems like racism against white people.
I disagree. Leeway in sentencing is to allow the court to better match the severity of punishment to the severity of crime when someone is convicted of crime which can cover a wide variety of behavior. Not to punish someone for crimes they weren't convicted of.

May be facebook is jeopardizing Apple-Google deal.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-20/apple-goo...

People are forgetting that Apple itself is playing monopoly by only allowing Google to target users by making backroom deals and not allowing other players. Basically, Apple sided with Google here instead of Facebook. Also, like you mentioned it is just privacy focused branding and it doesn't necessarily actually provide privacy.
Isn't there an org plugin for VSCode?

I also use VSCode but I use markdown with many tweaks for my notes but I also have Latex and Org support enabled for when I need it.
It is Germany. Yes there are a lot of paid employees at the university that arent teaching, but almost all of them in admin or maintenance/workshop. Historically there was a problem that there were way too many people who were not professors but working as a scientist at university (well it was called a problem, who knows why it was a problem); now it swung the other way.
This is a common misconception and the ratings are not comparable across player pools. lichess starts you off at 1500 and so the center of the bell curve is 1500, chess.com starts you off at 1200, so that's where it balances the 50% at.

The ETF Files - How the U.S. government inadvertently launched a $3T industry
I have had an Audible subscription for many years and I've been very happy with it.
Copyright within the EU got so bad that a lot of teachers are not allowed to make physical copies of a single page in the book they would use to give their students as homework.

So, literally, the school must license the whole book for each potential copy they would make - a year in advance. And that is such a drain on finances for the education sector (which is so underfunded even without that new problem), it's absurd.

We as a society artificially dumb our children down. And for what? That the author doesn't get anything for it anyways?
Crypto in Layman's Terms
I completely understand your point, and I agree with you: people that come in the community during FOMO times (such as 2017 and probably 2021) are not adding a lot of value to the community itself (because they are not here for the "good" reason).

However the goal of this article is not to speculate on the price. It's to give legitimate lower/upper bounds of where Bitcoin could be in 10 years if it is successful.

I'm not saying it will reach the $1M price point. I'm saying "If it does not fail, it could go there".

As you point out, there is still a non-zero probability that it fails and goes back to 0.
I know there is a niche of homebuilders in the US fitting Wankel engines. I'm not sure that could be described as popular though. Is there something I'm missing?
A genuine IDE for data science would be very useful, in my opinion. Something to unify code, data and models would be really interesting. An ideal tool would allow frictionless experimentation, but also maintain continual reproducibility.
Now it does. Received it very recently.
Ok, I have to admit, 2 and 3 can't be done at all in clojure, that I know of. The 4th one can be done through libraries, as I said, and the 1st one is out of the box, though. So perhaps saying that clojure does not enable interactive programming is a little bit harsh / absolute; but I agree that CL is more flexible in those regards.
It's a long story, but basically there was a guy who would pump up vendor accounts and exit scam them, then he attempted to extort the site admin (DPR) with customer data using some story that he owed some real bad dudes a a lot of money, and when the admin tried to contact these real bad dudes about resolving it, he also asked them about selling on site and also taking care of this mutual problem. The real bad dudes agreed to handle the mutual problem for a fee, and DPR paid.

Of course, the scammer and the real bad dudes were the same guy, and he managed to turn an extortion into a murder for hire of himself and some fictional associates, and made off with just under a million dollars at the time, not counting what he made scamming customers and also not counting future price increase.

DPR, the criminal mastermind that he was, fell for it, never put it together, and paid. He legitimately thought all these names were different people and actually existed. I don't believe he even found out he got scammed until he was in jail facing charges and the scammer was caught for some other unrelated crimes.
this seems a constant of all Parker & Stone productions, e.g. the only black kid in South Park literally being named "Token".
Word blacklists are probably one of the worst examples of using a technical solution to try and solve a social problem. Language is full of redundencies. You'll never be able to ban the expression of an offensive idea by just banning words. There's infinite variations someone can use. You need the computer to understand context. Good luck with that without full-on strong AI.
Note that this needs to be required because add-lib is still alpha, but it is to be expected that once it is in the main deps functionality, it will come out of the box!
Concerning privacy, it's the opposite. Android sells all your data, so there is just no privacy there at all. iOS sends at least some data to Apple, so it's better but far from perfect. GNU/Linux collects no data, so it's as good privacy as you can get.

It's different in terms of security, but for most people security of GNU/Linux is sufficient given it's all FLOSS.

WebOS wasn’t tried in any meaningful sense. It was abandoned within less than a single product lifecycle by the various companies under which it operated.

Windows Phone was an epic disaster in how badly it was rolled out. It was Ballmer at his worst. MS kept oscillating between whether they wanted Windows Phone to be an iPhone competitor or an Android competitor. They picked the worst of all worlds, by choosing to focus on distributing through 3rd party vendors, but refusing to allow them to make any changes to the interface, therefore basically eliminating any major vendors from adopting and promoting Windows Phone. It’s still amazing that MS was unable to unseat Android at a time OEMs were desperate for an Android alternative thanks to the uncertainty around the Oracle lawsuits (and were already paying more to MS than Google for Android! thanks to MS’s OS related patent portfolio).

Ubuntu Phone never made any sense, targeting the most expensive niche of the market as it did.

I agree completely with most of what you said. The whole system of making books having a minimum number of words doesnt help at all.

And I agree with the fiction part, I know and have witnessed people who have been reading fiction throughout their whole life. As an adult, they enjoy and can easily finish a fiction book in one day. But most of them cannot do the same with non-fiction books. I am at the opposite. I can go through a non-fiction really fast, but would take forever and rarely enjoy reading fiction.

I do notice that too, that some books have really valuable insights and can kinda stand the test of time. Some are just like iterations of multiple books out there thats just retold in a different way

Well, imo VSCode does require some significant configuration, it's not as usable out of the box.

But the cool thing is that you can override the configuration per workspace and that the config files are just JSON that can be checked into git. Another cool thing is that I can open a workspace in a "devcontainer", which means I don't have to install extensions and so on on the host.

What I really don't like is the terminal from VSCode. It's nothing compared to Alacritty.
I suppose you could argue having a common style between macOS and iOS is more consistent. I'm still undecided about the new style in Big Sur. On the other hand I spend a lot of time in Windows and find the whole UI grating.

How To Promote A Podcast: 18 Experts Share Their Secret Strategies
I highly doubt it will change.

One of the main arguments for the Sony Bono Act of 1998 was: [1]

> The term extension was supported for two key reasons. First, "copyright industries give us [(the United States)] one of our most significant trade surpluses." Second, the recently enacted legislation in the European Union had extended copyright there for 20 years, and so EU works would be protected for 20 years longer than US works if the US did not enact similar term extensions. Howard Coble also stated that it was good for consumers since "When works are protected by copyright, they attract investors who can exploit the work for profit."

> The term extension portion was supported by Songwriters Guild of America, National Academy of Songwriters, the Motion Picture Association of America, the Intellectual Property Law Section of the American Bar Association, the Recording Industry Association of America, National Music Publishers Association, the Information Technology Association of America and others.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Term_Extension_Act

The E.U. extension pertained to recordings of performances and was meant to harmonize with the copyright terms of authors for whom a copyright term of 70 years already applied.

Moreover, copyright protection in the E.U. doesn't take the "date of publication" as starting point, but the year of death of the author. It means that in the E.U., to this day, works - works of art, music, photographs, posters, postcards,... - made in the 19th century can still be protected if the author passed after 1950. It also means that clearing copyright in the E.U. is a huge obstacle for archives and libraries when when it comes to opening up their collections.

The main incentives for copyright protection are economic and geostrategic. Paradoxically, in a global, digitized world, copyright protections have gained even more strategic value in trade agreements.

Ask HN: Are companies required to keep an archive of their Terms of Use?
When you use an online service, you either explicitly or implicitly agree to their Terms of Use and other legal documents. However, since the service can change these documents at any time, how would I, as a user, prove that they added terms I did not initially agree to explicitly when I signed up? How does the service protect themselves from users lying that there were certain provisions in the documents in the past?

It seems like you wouldn't be able to do any of this without an auditable log of the service's legal docs.
For anyone interested in open platforms for creative art, I've been working for some years on https://ossia.io and we're slowly, but surely reaching a beta of version 3.

Feedback if you're in the field would be immensely appreciated !
