Basically, "all" (haha) you have to do to make this happen is hire people who have have already implemented the process you want to replicate somewhere else and then put them under people who have operated comparable industry in your target country of manufacture. I've seen people do it with various degrees of success, IMO it's never worth trying without a really good reason (eg you have a brand advantage for being made in the Japan/Germany/Switzerland/USA and etc) which sometimes you do.

I've been a part of electronics manufacturing and I absolutely agree that moving this kind of manufacture has never really been done in the US (specifically, moving an assembly process developed and executed in the east to the USA) especially for a product as complex as a smartphone. That said, I've seen it done at a small scale several times and generally I can say it's quite possible to do it, as long as you can accept a premium of 5-15%.

What you're left with is something you don't understand. That's often been a precursor to real breakthroughs.

If you don't understand it, it's not surprising that you can't make it useful. That doesn't say much about what you'll be capable of, after you do understand it.

While it's true that the onus was on F&P to prove their results, it's also true that if someone else is claiming to replicate the experiment, the onus is on them to do it correctly.
On my system docker comes from the package manager, which doesn't even run unless I explicitly trigger it. Is not using the GUI bundle not an option for people who need more control?

There were several terms that came into common use very quickly and none of them included the word "China". When a president with a history of racist statements started using it constantly, and Asian Americans started to get harassed and attacked at an increased rate, it became obviously unethical (to most people) to try and replace the existing, widely used terms with one that has a racial and national component.

No acrobatics necessary.
Yeah, it seems like we're just talking past each other. I am aware that paying people less than minimum wage is illegal, as I am sure was the original poster to whom you replied. However, pointing out that something is illegal is not the end of a discussion about that thing. If it were, laws would never change. The point of my 18th century town illustration was not to "convince a judge", it was to demonstrate how certain laws are less deeply ingrained in human society than murder laws. Less deeply ingrained laws get argued about, deeply ingrained laws generally do not. But nobody is arguing about whether they are laws, they are arguing about whether they should be laws.

Even after a law is passed, and upheld in court, it still needs to defend itself in the court of public opinion when it is questioned. If you are content with and confident in the status quo, then you don't have to participate in those discussions. But if it is important to you that minimum wage laws go away, you have every right to argue against it ("there is demand for lower-wage jobs", for example). And if it is important to you that minimum wage law continue to stand, and you believe they are under threat, then it may make sense to defend it by pointing out its merits (e.g. "competing, desperate people do not act rationally or in their collective best interests").

If somebody proposes: "There is demand for marijuana", think about how useless the comment "there is demand for murder" is. Yes, they are both illegal things. No, that does not mean it's useless to discuss whether they should remain illegal. Now, if you continue with "familiarize yourself with the case law, marijuana users go to prison because it's illegal", do you see how it continues to be useless to the discussion about the legality of marijuana use? The discussion is not about whether [marijuana use/sub-minimum-wage employment] is actually illegal.

"Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it." That includes labor. The business was free to try and renegotiate their contract with their customer. They were free to delay the release and offer a discount. They were free to turn down the 125k and the 250k payment on principle and deal with the consequences. They found the most economical solution that met their needs was to pay $250,000 to have the work done on time. Was this poster engaging in rent seeking behavior? Absolutely. But that is a consequence of the market and one companies exploit to their own benefit all the time.
From an asset allocation perspective, rebalancing triggers/alerts would be very useful. There are mainly two types: 1) Time based (monthly, quarterly or annually), 2) based on rebalancing bands such as 5/25 (i.e. 5% absolute deviation or 25% relative deviation).
You missed the point.

The observation is that Google makes money from eyeballs on ads. The reason they make money is that they can lead people to the content that they want.

The content that they want comes from websites, which benefit from the traffic google sends their way. If Google stops sending traffic their way, they won't block google in robots.txt: they'll simply shut down, because they're not making money off the eyeballs on their site.

So, it's a symbiotic relationship: Google sends traffic to sites. Sites send their contents to Google. If Google tries too hard to keep eyeballs on their own ads, then they become a strangler vine on their own ecosystem, depriving it of the resources that it needs to grow.

There needs to be a balance between the traffic that it sends to sites, and what it surfaces directly on the SERP.
Yes, your example is how it works. Arguably, they're seeing more of the profit under the assumption that there will be almost no work to sell my property (which is the case; it's been completely renovated, and inventory is extremely limited, I would be shocked if it took more than 72 hours to sell), so they're capturing a bit more rev than if there was another broker's office involved in the transaction.
you expect downtime as a normal matter of doing business?

I get what you're saying, but it seems slightly more nuanced. From my understanding WIV did do gain of function research. e.g. purposefully make virus' more deadly or infectious to study them.

Definitely not a super villain at least I hope/highly doubt the intention was a weapon (you could surely create a better weapon?).

I'm not judging the value of that research, it does sound valuable but maybe not more so than the (small?) risk of an accident.

There is also reporting WIV was doing top secret research for CCP military.

So bad guys depends on your worldview.

In the past "long term" side effects meant within weeks after the fact. This includes things like autoimmune disease. However, the statistical signal may only appear years later. The mRNA vaccines also don't "infect" the whole body, but only the injection site, and they are metabolized quickly. There really is no reason to assume any late effects say 5 years later.

If they were frequent late side effects, we would totally know by now.

By the way, they are a brilliantly less complex system, much easier to reason about, than traditional vaccines.

I haven't used kotlin, but where is length defined? Should it be a parameter to the function?
I think that's a pretty loose assumption that _all people_ are using it with ill intent.

Anything can be said or used with ill intent, because intent matters and is separate from actual language. That's why we have tone in speaking and writing to help distinguish this. Our nonverbal cues say a lot more than the words themselves.

A rise in violence against Spaniards cannot sloppily be attributed to the use of "Spanish Flu" to describe a virus that some believed to either come from Spain, or affected Spain the worst.

It's morbidly irresponsible to assume negative intent when people are trying to name and classify a virus based on its best known origins, and attribute "racism" towards a people group of that same origin as being caused by the naming of a virus.

This is a fine example of: correlation does not imply causation.

A person who cannot separate the two concepts cleanly is the person who needs deep understanding for why they are wrong, especially when there is no credible data to support that assumption.

The media outlets reporting hate crimes caused by the naming of a virus are, in effect, assuming that all or most Americans are too stupid to act reasonably and understand these two very different concepts, so they declare the correlation however they see fit and expect their viewers to latch on and make the same poor and irresponsible assumptions blindly.

We are so much smarter than this. Pay close attention to the way journalists mold and shape the narrative based on assumptions and opinions to get you to believe their take. Also pay attention to the fact that CNN and others called this virus "the Chinese virus" well before our 45th President used the phrasing.

How does a media outlet get to blame behavior they created without first examining themselves?
It's not necessary strictly speaking, but it make things MUCH easier. JS in v8 has 3 (4?) layers of compilers already and each time some type changes at runtime you're taking a hit to go back to the interpreted version while functions jit compile again.

There's a crazy amount of engineering effort that has to counteract a missing "this has one parameter and it's either a string or a float" annotation.

In practice if you don't have a world class well funded team - yes, static typing is necessary for performance.
> People who bought had all the chances to try and decide not to buy, or to even return after trying

Random missed keystrokes long after the return period are the problem. Mine is 3 years old and I just had the keyboard[1] swapped out by Apple under the extended warranty. It was sometimes missing arrow key strokes for a while, but when it started missing spacebar, that was when I got it replaced. They only extended the warranty to 4 years so I figured now was my window.

Apple also claimed several times to have fixed the issue with this keyboard. I believe every year up until 2019 they made these claims. It was never the case. My 2019 MBP from work is in the initial "occasional dust-under-the-key" stage of failure.

[1] - Because the MBP is so unrepairable, they have to replace the battery when they swap the keyboard. So for anyone with one of these, get it replaced for an additional free battery refresh.

This is 100% guaranteed method to get shitty vaccine development and production in the future.

This idiotic notion that we should prevent pharma companies from profiting on this is exactly why nobody wants to do vaccine development in the first place.
TLS 1.0 isn't secure. I'd rather insecure protocols and primitives not be included in a mainstream library. Maybe offer some extension library to allow support, but the default shouldn't have any risk of including such code in a way that it could be usable by a careless programmer. Same for MD5 and SHA1.
A de-compiled compiler is not something software freedom purists like the Bootstrappable Builds folks would touch with a 6-foot pole.

Their approach is to write secondary smaller implementations of the same thing in other languages and use those to build the larger thing. The seed of their bootstrap less than 1000 bytes of hand-written machine code (not assembly), and they are working on eventually reaching a full Linux distro.

They couldn't, higher authorities noticed, blew up the visibility on it, instituted nationwide programs to counter it, and fired the afore-mentioned mayor and governor.

An astounding indictment across the whole scientific community that attempting to investigate an energy source that would advance human kind to essentially free energy would be... a career ender.

There is simply no reason for this.

Think how many resources has been put into anti-carbon messaging to transform the economies and the promotion of a global tax. Meanwhile a technology that can make the whole CO2 problem obsolete is taken to the back alley like this and figuratively murdered.

> this same path: Extreme frugality, bare minimum savings

The author is a literal millionaire living (when not working in a well-paid job) on what is roughly the median income for their state. This is neither extremely frugal nor bare minimum savings.

They downgraded from "upper-class lifestyle with upper-class work" to "middle-class lifestyle without work". Not exactly going poor.

> assuming their lifestyle would never change and nothing would ever go wrong.

They bet that nothing would go several-hundreds-of-thousands-dollars wrong. Sounds like a fairly safe bet. If it's likely that you'll get into a situation that costs you that much, having a job doesn't guarantee much either.

Regarding 2, why is it better to select on non-genetic traits? Those traits would be determined by the environment, which doesn't feel any more fair to me to judge on, and in general seems like something we try to avoid (i.e. we do not want rich kids to do well purely because they grew up with better resources).

I'm genuinely asking because I have no clue what people want "merit" to mean. I always assumed the entire point was to remove environmental factors (to varying degrees).
I don't have a position on what to call it myself, but I don't see any reason why someone would be insistent on finding some way to call it "Chinese" unless they were attempting to cast blame in a way that "Brazilian variant," "British variant," etc. do not. If most authorities are not already calling it the "Chinese variant," I don't see why you'd call it that. If they are, then obviously you can call it that.
It matters a real lot if it came from a lab.
This isn't correct. It wasn't just looked upon like the flu.

The US used the national defense production act to block any export of BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine produced in the US to other countries, so no, this is not just "These vaccine deals are with private companies who produce their product around the world." - countries can and do influence these deals if it benefits them.

I'm pretty sure vacant properties are a problem in every market, it is just a matter of grayscales -- how many days do you keep units empty waiting for a creditworthy tenant. Perhaps the unit is empty 10 days, perhaps 15. Willingness to keep a unit empty is part of the negotiation -- a landlord is saying "I'd rather keep the unit empty for another couple of days than take a rent that wont adequately-compensate for the 4% chance i get nothing for 10months (i.e., eviction)"

Of course, even eviction timelines vary vastly from one jurisdiction to another
