The UK could try pursuing international legal action against China over violations of the Sino-British Joint Declaration – in the ICJ, PCA, etc. I'm not sure how easy that would be – jurisdictional issues for international courts are insanely complex – and even if the Court accepted the case, China is just going to ignore the outcome if they lose. But a Chinese loss would damage to China's international prestige.

Another option seriously worth considering is to start withdrawing the special privileges which Western countries give to Hong Kong, and start treating it as just another part of the Mainland. If Beijing has no respect for Hong Kong's autonomy, why should anyone else respect it either?

The Economist has had a lot of interesting articles on this. In one, they said that office building owners are going to have to make their office spaces so cool that people will want to return. I've worked at home for years, but I'm curious what the larger tech worker opinion is on this. Will fancy new offices with that perks that SV workers have long had convince you to return to the office?

I have lived in 3 countries, and have never met anyone who learnt their employment rights, unions, health insurance, or how to draft a contract at school.
I had a VW Golf with a DSG (DQ250) which I regularly engine braked on hills. However, I noticed that the instantaneous fuel economy meter would show some consumption on downshifting versus no consumption on coasting in drive.

It turns out that the logic will try to rev match to be in a lower gear before cutting off the fuel again.

Rev matching wasn't perfect either, as going down more than one gear would cause the engine to lazily rev up until it got close enough in speed before the clutches fully engaged.

The DSG offered a Sport mode (obviously to be used when late for work) that would downshift on deceleration, offering a mild form of automated engine braking. I could never quite tell whether would wearout the clutch packs or the brakes faster as it seemed to be a real push-pull scenario between the two.
I have something that does require this and I couldn't finish the article. I have no idea what I'm going to do.

I'm facing potentially fatal seizures or DBS.
ADSP: The Podcast
It’s not about how possible it is to live, it’s about places people actually want to live. There is virtually unlimited land with good climate. But people don’t want to live there because it’s far from everything. Most people have picked paying more to live closer to events, jobs, stores and friends.

Australia doesn’t have the population to start a new major city in the center. There are still multiple cities like Adelaide which could grow instead.
> But that's also a billion+ users with much slower computers! So you need to compare the harm on both sides.

Far more likely Microsoft would be legally exposed due to a skipped patch than a patch that slows machines down. Intel on the other hand, that'd be more interesting.

> And then MS could add a switch in Settings for anyone who is concerned. (I realize not many people would find it, but it seems important for the option to be accessible, without digging into the registry or some such.)

Any such switch would just be disabled via GPOs by corporate security teams anyway, so what's the point? The entities who would most "benefit" wouldn't even be able to do it.

That is likely close to true with lidar as well. See also some of Waymo's recent struggles in unexpected construction zones.

I love the concept and the visualizations, but am left wondering - evolving toward what? I don't get the same feeling of "complexity from simple rules" as I do from Conway's Game of Life.

I bet you could create a very interesting version of this with simple neural networks that start with random weights and determine the (x, y) coordinates to which an organism grows - reproduction is simply a matter of randomly selecting weights from two or more identical networks, and organisms that grow inefficiently are naturally selected against. I believe you could capture an increasingly complex range of organism shapes and introduce natural lifespans with a sufficiently deep network.

I don't think you understand how online businesses work. Social network companies like tumblr need advertiser dollars in order to pay for server and employee costs. Tumblr exists to generate revenue, user metrics mean revenue. If users aren't using the platform, advertisers stop paying as much and thus tumblr can't continue to exist.

I do wish the Tesla would turn on the brake lights when slowing down at a certain rate (due to regenerative braking). I've nearly been rear-ended several times by cars that didn't expect me to "coast" that slowly or, conversely, slow down that fast without brake lights.

>In those cases where the destination URL is embedded into a tracking link, it’s possible to avoid tracking by decoding the destination URL and navigating to it directly. This is true for ConvertKit and could be true for Mailgun retailers like Substack (when or if I eventually work out the decoding).

What stops a tracking link from using a different url in the get params than it actually returns? I don't think this is workable.

Of course autopilot and FSD are safer than unaided human driving. That's because a human is still required to be in ultimate control. They are aids to the human, not replacements for the human.
Personally I think there's possibly an intersection of people who want a "dumb" tv and people who would do something similar to this, I for example, would love to have a "dumb" tv and just hook up one of those firestick/chromecast/other-product dongles into one of the available HDMI ports.

I really see no point in having an integrated computer in my TV that's just gonna be stop being supported a couple of years down the road, might as well have that part be detachable for when it becomes obsolete, I'd just buy a new one, the display would still be good.
I haven't found turmeric effective as an anti-inflammatory. But it is an excellent blood cleanser and I've used it for that, without requiring any kind of enhancer to get what I needed out of it.

It's possible that it helps with brain fog for you because it's a blood cleanser, not because it's an anti-inflammatory. The blood brain barrier and separate lymph clearing system for the brain present challenges if your health is impacting brain function.

Understanding the exact reason it helps matters for trying to effectively make progress with your condition though misunderstanding the exact mechanism doesn't mean it won't work. It will just interfere with getting the most out of it and with finding effective substitutes.

Your observation that you need an absorption enhancer is often true for natural treatments. That's one of the chief things modern medicine does well -- delivers an effective dose in a simple to use form that requires minimal skill or comprehension from the patient.

Best of luck with your search for healing answers.
> There could be a baseball bat gang.

I have a much better chance of running away from the baseball bat wielding gang than the gun wielding gang, and about as much chance of fighting off a baseball bat wielding gang with a bat as I do of winning a shootout with a gun wielding gang (basically zero).

The collateral damage from my conflict with the baseball bat gang will also almost certainly be smaller.

Note: not arguing for gun control in general (though there are certain reforms I'd like to see, and some useless laws I'd like to see rolled back) and I didn't down-vote you. Just pointing out that in virtually all conflicts I'd prefer the baseball bat scenario to the gun scenario.
If Timnit sued, what could she recover? Money? To do what with?

Timnit’s goal is likely closer to that of effecting reform. A lawsuit isn’t necessarily the best tool for that unless it’s so big it establishes new precedent. Even the Andy Rubin / breach of fiduciary duty lawsuit was largely ineffective.. While Timnit has a strong case here, it’s not really as strong as the evidence of the General Counsel of Google openly engaging in and protecting the sexual misconduct of himself and others.
For a real education in how things work, try running a small hotel:

"In retrospect, I wish I had known more about the hazards and difficulties of such a business, especially during a recession of the kind that hit New England just as I was acquiring the inn's 43-year leasehold. I also wish that during the years I was in public office, I had had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day. That knowledge would have made me a better U.S. senator and a more understanding presidential contender. Today we are much closer to a general acknowledgment that government must encourage business to expand and grow. Bill Clinton, Paul Tsongas, Bob Kerrey and others have, I believe, changed the debate of our party. We intuitively know that to create job opportunities we need entrepreneurs who will risk their capital against an expected payoff. Too often, however, public policy does not consider whether we are choking off those opportunities."

Ninja Assassins - cheaper than court system.
If we choose the "Good route", then companies can hire the same amount of people and those people can provide good service to the others while the majority of the service is handled by automated systems.

For example, a road worker can now focus on fixing the part of the road which is more likely to be damaged, while the rest of the road is serviced by machines automatically. 4 hours later, the worker finished fixing the critical/difficult part of the road, then he/she go home to enjoy their life, the machine takes the rest of the routine to finish it off.

But of course, more likely, we will go down the "Bad route". Workers will be fired, just like those in the supermarkets. And if machine fails, people will be re-routed to a "backup" -- a human or another machine, to be queued up for a even slower handling process. Few hours later, the machine is fixed, and the event is marked as one-time incident -- stability still above 99%, everything stay the same, except more workers will be fired due to redundant stability.
My memory is not as good as it once was.
Especially involving numbers. (I once was REALLY good at remembering phone numbers. Not a Savant (Rainman) level of knowing phone-books, but any number my mother ever needed (she would tell me to remember a number, and I could memorize the pattern of the numbers on the dial-pad.)

After the operation, I can only remember things that I concentrate on, and tell myself that it's important.
i.e. I know Wednesday is garbage day, but I don't know what day it is today. Or another example, I know my wife's birthday is June 2nd, I just can't remember the year.

This is actually my main criticism of Tesla's approach. They don't seem to have enough cameras to do the job well, and its showing in a lot of actual system limitations.

This is how .net got it's crappy generic name. Back in it's early days it (and SOAP) was sold as the glue that would stitch all this together, just add a web reference and you'd have all this functionality in your project. It was incredibly disappointing to get through all this marketing and eventually realize it was just an MS version of java. Enterprise java beans, CORBA, COM and probably some others were also efforts in this direction. These days it's REST and microservices.
This seems like a case of inflated importance. If you want to contact engineers then you reach out to the company and see if they want to talk to you. This is like Joe Blow saying.. I have a great idea, we should change the background on Windows to rainbows... How do I get in touch with Bill Gates?
Just as a counterpoint, drink driving laws were widely disregarded in Australia in the 80's, and only now is it starting to become socially unacceptable.

Just because everyone ignores or despises a law, it doesn't necessarily make it unjust or wrong.
I took a look at the design and think there are a few issues with the format as proposed.

# The public key is stored with the signature.

This should be stored separately. A public key found here is too tempting to use, rendering the signature worthless. Authenticating it would be OK, but low value. This is unauthenticated. A "key ID" should be used instead if the intention is to support lookups among multiple keys.

# The algorithm is stored with the signature.

This is slightly less bad than above, but still bad. Attacker-controlled algorithms have been used repeatedly in "downgrade" attacks. Agility is bad, but if you must support multiple algorithms, store this with the public key (somewhere else). Some info here: https://github.com/secure-systems-lab/dsse/issues/35

I didn't look at the sub-key protocol in detail. The ephemeral key for every release is an interesting choice. The root key is "offline". But if it must be brought online to sign a new ephemeral key for every release anyway, you might as well just use it to sign the release itself.

Using minisign/signify like OpenBSD does and keeping things very simple makes sense to me. The complexity designed into this system (sub-keys, multiple algorithms and signatures) starts to stretch the bounds to where TUF (https://theupdateframework.io/) might make sense. TUF is very complex and not worth it for most projects, but Debian is exactly what TUF is designed for.
The article says nothing about this not also applying to their consultants. Did I miss it, or are you getting this information from another source?
True - 7 years at my university as a grad student and I've been here longer than at least three or four of their new junior faculty hires (including replacements for some I used to work for)
In your simple thought experiment, why are wages going up for that one firm? You're hiring more people, not raising the wages of the existing people. And I'm not sure why you think unit economics apply to software with it's almost 100% fixed costs.
What I meant is denominator of responses.

If I have 10,000 followers and post something with 100 likes, that might mean 100 people saw it and everyone liked it. It might mean 10,000 saw it and 9,900 hated it. It might mean 500 saw it, 100 liked, 100 hated, 300 didn’t care. Etc etc.

This would help understand if it’s just a few loud people or indicative of all the people.
Not that I am aware of.

I was in the middle of my teen years, which is already a period of intense personality change.

I've did Portland-Seattle-Vancouver about a decade ago, which was nice. It's not fast but you don't want it to be if your objective is to see the scenery. Much of the route hugs the coast so make sure you're on the water facing side of the train if you don't want to spend a lot of the day looking at a wall of trees. At that time they didn't have one day through service between Portland and Vancouver but spending an afternoon and night in Seattle was nice since I'd never been there before. When booking you just have to make sure you don't accidentally sign up for the Amtrak bus that runs on the same route. Not sure if service into Canada has been restored yet.
How were these measurements obtained? Are they an average, and if so what was the variance of the measurements? For some the difference seems substantial but without knowing the variance across measurements it is a little difficult to assess whether the differences are actually significant. (Basically would there be a statistically significant difference between each condition)

Obviously this would be a lot more work, so I don’t want to detract from the work that’s already been done.
Nothing in theory, but he has shown what they do today.

The problem here is that it will probably work on a small scale. But if someone like Apple or Google adjusted to it, places like MailChimp would notice immediately, and "fix the glitch" as you describe.
I love their channel and all of their videos, and I think they're generally pretty balanced, but I get the impression there's some pseudoscience and somewhat uncritical acceptance of certain police techniques in some parts of some videos, and also some inferring of people's internal mental states based on assumptions and confirmation bias.

For example, while I do think the Parkland shooter was almost certainly heavily malingering - to the point of it being absurdly blatant - every single thing he did was interpreted and explained in the context of malingering. It's very possible those interpretations were all correct, but I feel like there was high confidence in all of the psychological explanations despite the confidence not always being warranted to such a high degree.

And I've seen similar high-confidence explanations about other people's psychologies and intentions at any given moment. This is kind of a mirror of the Reid technique in general:

>For example, Reid believed that "tells" such as fidgeting was a sign of lying, and more generally believed that trained police interrogators could intuitively check lies merely by how they were delivered. Later studies have shown no useful correlation between any sort of body movements such as breaking eye contact or fidgeting and truth-telling. While police can be effective at cracking lies, it is via gathering contradicting evidence; police officers have shown to be no better than average people at detecting lies merely from their delivery in studies.

In the videos, we know the suspects are guilty and lying, so it's easy to associate certain behavior with deception. And some do appear to genuinely just be terrible liars. But without the advantage of hindsight knowledge, it's easy to feel confident you see similar behavior in other people and extrapolate that they're lying without actually having any substantiated evidence that you're right or not.
A lot of school knowledge is too abstract and removed from life: biology class taught me about cell structure and DNA, not how to do first aid, or the difference between paracetomol and ibuprophere, it doesnt help me choose a health insurance, etc.

People then those same people who supposedly learnt biology become vaccine sceptics: this 'knowledge' is not knowledge that was every used and proved real to them, its just collection of words they remembered and regorgitated in an exam.
Exactly? I mean, let's say a link was:

https://mycompany.co/my-product-name?affiliate=12345678

That's obvious and easy to filter out, but let's say they changed it to:

https://myproduct.co/my-product-name/12345678

That's less obvious because it's part of the URL to resolve instead of a variable. You could filter out the "12345678" now to instead direct you to:

https://mycompany.co/my-product-name

OK, but let's say the company (through plausible deniability) didn't use permalinks, or (again through plausible deniability) used model numbers as their address. They could disguise the tracking link with

https://mycompany.co/12345678

Which could again be detected, but then you'd just get sent to

https://mycompany.co/

instead of the actual page you wanted to visit.

The point is, that if you try to filter out affiliate links, you will invariably get to a point where all you can do is send them to the homepage of the website in this cat-and-mouse game of disguising affiliate links as product pages. And while sending you to the homepage is theoretically completely private, I think marketing folks and actual end-users would understandably complain.
That is what I have been banging on about for years. Latency added, not just in Software, but in Hardware as well from Display, Keyboard, Mouse and even Network. The past 20+ years the whole industry nearly went all out on optimising for throughput.

Sometimes I look at macOS, Windows 10. Apart from some UI facelift I dont even remember a single user feature that was relevant or important in the past 5 years. Apart from latency added cause of feature bloat

The beauty of Gaming is that there are finally some incentives for people to work on the issue.
