He would have bought it on credit like a good wageslave.
It is I was amazed how with the new ceo bombastic statement for some reason magically all intel problems went away and their statements about 7nm and 10nm were believed. They are going back to tick tock cadence?. Intel are such masters of marketing in 2016 they already knew 10nm fabs were not going to work so they announced stopping tick tock.
I worked in the ads org at Amazon an year ago and yes I can tell you the revenue generated by ad products across their services is insane. It's a well executed operation and it is only growing rapidly year over year. From a customer perspective they are also very relevant most of the time.

The remaining part is making sure they don't upset customers way too much since that would conflict with the idea of "customer satisfaction" the company has.
When the same accusations happened a few years ago China did invite the EU to take a look, but the EU never went there. In addition, several muslim countries went and did not find any shred of evidence. At this point you'll have to start wondering what the NGO/EU's ulterior motives are.

Even if all of these were true (I would describe most of them as a mischaracterization at best), do you honestly think that outweighs everything that I described? The worst thing that people can say about unions is they are bureaucratic and inconvenient. The worst things people can say about, say, working conditions in many non-unionized American workplaces are far, far worse. People dying, unfairly losing their job (and healthcare, and home), working incredibly long hours, unable to see their kid, unable to get adequate sleep, etc etc etc. I happen to think there are values other than "workers producing profit for their employers as efficiently as possible at the expense of anything else"
Even accepting the underlying logic, aren't Chinese citizens also generally victims of their government, not equal partners who could effectively shift its policies? If a random businessperson started raising a fuss about Xinjiang, I expect they would find themselves quickly disappeared or jailed on fabricated charges.

In my view this is just one more error springing from the root error of turning "a jury of your peers" into "a jury of random strangers". One point of being judged by a jury of your peers is that they are familiar with the types of things you're likely to do.

But another is that your peers are familiar with the ways in which you're likely to react to things.
No, I doubt that's the only action the article is referring to.
Does it have no taxes at all? Because without a deal with the UK residents would have to pay full tax in the UK plus any local tax if they have income from there.

With regards to Xinjiang sanctions, China has also

- sanctioned US/Canadian/UK/EU individuals and entities

- erased H&M in all major Chinese platforms https://wwd.com/business-news/retail/hm-face-new-boycott-chi...

While that's happening, China has also

- signed a 25-year cooperation agreement with Iran

- censored 'stock market' term from social media searches after stocks posted longest losing streak https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/china-banned...

- attacked US in the high-level Alaska talks, saying "black Americans are being slaughtered" while adding 'We will always stand up for our principles for our people' https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56452471

My take: a dictatorship running scared on a declining economy, with enemies surrouding it and around the world, needs to bark loud and ramp up its military. it will either fade away into isolation, or it will do something stupid like attack Taiwan, whose missile capabilities can hit Beijing and three gorges and basically collapse China, and get sanctioned by countries worldwide, and fade away into oblivion
> The Capitol Police Chief, House Sergent at Arms, and Senate Sergent at Arms are also there, providing details about what and where things were actually breached.

But now you're making the opposite point -- that Pelosi's request was redundant because the same information was available to the executive who may have come to a different conclusion, e.g. because they hadn't breached any room where legislators were.

Or because he was going to try other tactics first that were less likely to lead to a firefight, like asking them to leave the building, which he did. (Twitter then took down the video of him making the request to leave, which I might not have believed if I hadn't seen it happen.)
Having worked on something that emits JS, I appreciate this. We finally got around to making things work with strict a few years ago, and still run into bugs because losing "with" was so painful -- we used it to introduce a new scope without changing the scope that "return" will return from; javascript could really use a named return construct. We can fake it with exceptions but it makes the generated code very hard to read.

See my sibling comment, but I'd really like a replacement for "with" before it goes away completely.
> Why wouldn't it be a fine choice to write a compiler in?

Javascript doesn't seem suited to compiler construction because it lacks lots of features that make compiler construction pleasant (e.g. strong rich types, algebraic data types, etc.)

It might be "fine" but it's not "good".
These people are called chimeras, some of them are so dangerous that they replace a person in real time, yes meaning that they kill the person to take it's place. Nature brings strange creatures.
This was good, and I mostly agree that using verbal strategies that amount to digging into/reviewing the details of what a person is claiming is the best way to detect liars.

The TSA thing at the end seems like a bit of a derail though:

But, Mann says, without knowing how many would-be terrorists slipped through security undetected, the success of such a program cannot be measured. And, in fact, in 2015 the acting head of the TSA was reassigned after Homeland Security undercover agents in an internal investigation successfully smuggled fake explosive devices and real weapons through airport security 95 percent of the time.

I don't doubt the TSA "behavioral detection" is extremely ineffective, but presumably TSA is mostly leaning on other means to detect dangers and failure to detect weapons is more on the xray/backscatter scanners. It doesn't strike me as realistic for TSA to use verbal techniques like asking each passenger to sketch out his travel story to detect if he's lying about having a gun.

One interesting difference it raises is lying about the past/experienced events vs. lying about future intentions. Their techniques seem mostly geared towards differentiating between a person accurately recalling an event from memory vs reciting a fabricated version of their memory/actions. It makes sense this would be helpful for police interrogating a suspect, but it's not intuitively obvious the underlying idea maps to detecting someone lying about their intended future actions.
Just think of it as like a GAN neural network.

The liar and the discriminator continue to evolve in an arms race.

I, as an average discriminator can probably tell the bad liars but could be fooled by the good ones.

At best? That's amazing!!! A hotglue gun on a couple of aluminum tracks can now compete with full-fledged factories! Not on everything. Not on most things. But on anything at all is mindblowing. A seismic shift has already happened in how material goods will end up in someone's hands.

You see the "because we can" projects because they're flashy and are built to demand attention. If you want to see a practical side to 3d printing, you have to hunt for it. It's not glamorous or that interesting to talk about with anyone not already obsessed with the tech. But it's there. My best anecdote is fixing my Dyson vacuum. Without a printer, you could've hacked it with some ingenuity and zipties. But instead, I rebuilt what was broken and maintained the quality of the device.

Reminds me of the old Auspex file servers, with their functional processing units. For a while CPUs got fast enough to do everything. Then they didn't, and GPUs became a thing (though they had been something of a thing back in the 80s too, like the Amiga blitter), and now we're putting CPUs in storage controllers. The pendulum has swung a few times.

Windows does this out of the box, by typing in an ftp:// address into the default explorer file manager address bar. it even saves logins if you want. Windows has done this since Windows 95 /IE4 days. Good to know that Linux has finally joined the fresh tech wave of the 90's and copied that basic useful function.

My little brother once heard Jack and Diane on the radio, and proudly proclaimed that John Cougar Mellencamp has copied Jessica Simpson's "I Think I'm in Love with You." That also was funny.

unlike the US, where working conditions for the poor are fantastic?

Don't get me wrong, France (and the EU) has its share of problems. But "better protections for their workers" is not one of them. EU countries decided to use a small portion of their enormous wealth building a safety net and decent worker protections. The US does this to a much lesser degree, preferring instead to center corporate profits and the wealthy.
Your take is interesting:

1. Hasn’t China’s economy been growing steadily for decades?

2. Hasn’t China formed new trading partnerships with many countries in Europe?

3. China is not a dictatorship.

I think people probably immediately think about how they react to their spouse or other very close relationships, and I suspect (haven't looked it up) that people are actually pretty good at detecting lies in those situations because we have so much experience with how that person acts.

Detecting the lies of strangers? Yeah... good luck.
How does this square with "mob mentality?" I wonder what the negative side effects of programming in a group might be. Maybe the group is more liable to jump on the first answer to a big problem rather than think it through carefully to find the best answer. Maybe some team members actually perform better on their own, or maybe it depends on the tasks at hand and the experience profiles of those involved. Also, I'm still skeptical that it makes sense in terms of code quality and velocity to have 6 people work on one feature rather than 3 pairs working on 3 features and syncing up every morning. (That's what I did in the past, we had a "tech time" every morning for a half hour or more where we'd walk through code, do reviews, and make decisions as a team.)

Not really. Climate change is an existential problem that nuclear energy is one of few legitimately promising solutions to, so I don't think it's a stretch to compare the vapid and uninformed anti-nuclear arguments that pop up in every HN thread to anti-maskers: harmful rhetoric with no scientific basis.

> I have seen factual claims all over the map on this

Would love to see a counter argument if there is one

> government subsidies and favoritism are all over the place, not just in favor of suburban homeowners.

There are many subsidies, but the magnitudes differ. Note it's not only home ownership subsidies, but zoning and other regulations, preference for building highways and not trains, low gas tax and lack of carbon tax, and many other such things.

The strong towns people also talk about longer and improperly financed pumbling and electrical lines, etc., but I don't know as much about that.

> Which I am completely in favor of doing; I'm quite willing to pay whatever the actual costs are of living where I want to live, and factoring those costs into my choice of where to live.

Great! But watch for big changes if this happens.

> This is still not an argument for forcing everyone to live in densely populated cities.

It doesn't need to be coerced, and properly accounting the externalities alone would make me quite happy too.

But some things like public transit the market just cannot do. The portion value captured is too small a portion --- while the operational costs can break even the capital costs might take > 50 years to recoup --- so that conventional finance says no. And that's not to say it's not worth, but it's a level of "risk" that even for truly great efficiency the private sector won't stomach. Also it is a natural monopoly so it would have to be regulated to death anyways if was privately run, basically defeating the purpose of trying to involve a market.

Also, note I said density not size. If people want to live in a https://media.timeout.com/images/103639693/1024/576/image.jp... in the middle of nowhere and there is a train running to it, that's fine with me.

> Where is that coming from? Certainly not from the references you gave. And if you think cities don't pollute, I don't know where you're getting that from either.

No not those sources but suburbs have far higher energy usage because the inefficiency of the sprawl and large homes, and even if we electrify everything with good power sources, there is tire pollution of electric cars, environment issues from the shear amount of land being taken (e.g. drainage like we saw in Houston during Hurricane Harvey).

--------

Bottom line is suburbs can work, but at great efficiency costs, so you have coordinate globally and fixing all our externalizes, and sacrifice the wealth that would come from greater efficiency in a rather heavy de-growth way, and probably rely on a shrunken population. In other words, if we were to do everything else right, this would be a "luxery" we can maybe get away with the next century.

But if so, what's the point? What's the point of individualist- nuclear-family-ist- vineer of that suburbanization if behind the scenes there is massive collecitivism to enforce everything to need it work? I do hope there is a time after this big mess of unsustainability to have more "ethical luxeries", but I can't imagine suburbanization would be one anyone would want at that point.
This can be very useful for government digital services everywhere.

This article primarily focuses on the ineffectiveness of using non-verbal cues. It doesn’t really go into that much depth on how easily (or not) liars can be detected by analyzing what they actually say. It briefly mentions that this method appears more effective (although the accuracy was still only 80% or so).
ASAP, to my ears, always connotes urgency, and I'd even go so far as to say that its usage without this sense is universally dispreferred, if not outright misusage. Or at least I used to think so ... until a misunderstanding arose because our CEO did, in fact, use it in such a way (i.e. "whenever you are able").

H. Paul Grice (the four maxims guy) calls connotations like these implicatures, extra propositions which are "implicated" (implied) in addition to "what is said" (the utterance), and they can be conversational or conventional. Conversational implicatures are cancellable, meaning that they can be disavowed, whereas conventional implicatures cannot. So for instance, "I used to do a lot of drugs. I still do, but I used to too" cancels the implicature which arises from "used to" ("not anymore"). After consistent usage, however, conversational implicatures may become conventional and cannot be cancelled - they have moved from the pragmatic level to the semantic level (i.e. they're part of the meaning of the utterance itself rather than derived contextually).

The point being, is it even possible to cancel the urgency connotation of ASAP? Is it not just outright weird to say, "I want these TPS reports done ASAP - but no rush"?

My intuition says that ASAP necessarily connotes urgency, due to its consistent usage in this sense, whereas "as soon as possible" only optionally does (so it's much more acceptable to say, "I want these GPS reports done as soon as possible - but no rush").

Super weird coming from our CEO, because otherwise everything is in fact urgent (sigh...).

Peeing in nature is fine. The reason for things like this for a woman to pee normally means exposing a lot more skin to eyes and the weather. Also, the usual scenario for being seen is someone not of your group coming up behind you--and with a pee funnel your bum isn't exposed at all.

(Poo is another matter--you're expected to bury it 6-8" down, at least 200' from the trail, at least 200' from water. If you can't meet all three of these requirements you're expected to use a poo disposal bag (commonly called a WAG bag) and pack it out.) Locally, if you can accomplish the digging you're very likely in a watercourse.

How might C code like this eventually fail, assuming future C standards remain backwards-compatible? Perhaps because C code is likely to contain (currently benign) undefined behaviour, which future compilers may take advantage of?
