I disagree, in that the problem is the Chinese Communist Party, not the Chinese people. It's also contradictory to counter a bully by being a bully.

Having said that: iron ore, not food. As a thought experiment: it would be most effective to target China's main imports: integrated circuits, oil, iron ore, ... [1]

ICs are mainly used in exports so limited domestic impact, oil can be had from any number of despotic partners, iron ore on the other hand...

Most of China's iron ore comes from Australia, and there is currently no alternative. If Australia refused to sell iron ore to China it would really screw up China's economy [2] (and Australia's):

Proof of China's dependence on Australian iron ore is in the current sanctions the CCP is placing on Australia, as payback for Australia not kowtowing to the CCP [3]. The result has been a major loss of face for the CCP, in that it has made Australia's economy more resilient by forcing diversification of its export markets, in the process reducing CCP's influence, simultaneous with Australia's exports to China continuing to break new records [4]. No one is under any illusions that the CCP would dearly like to stop iron ore imports from Australia, but it can't. Eventually the CCP may be able to wean China off Australian iron ore, but chances are it will happen so slowly that Australia will have time to find new markets.

Yes, Australia could screw China, as the CCP is trying to do to Australia, but that would only reduce Australia to the same level as the CCP and ruin Australia's goodwill with the Chinese people (the CCP is not China).

I have had healthcare.gov plans on both coasts, and they did include an annual preventative care consultation. I would be surprised if any plan did not. I just schedule it with flu shot. Lab tests may or may not be included, but I have done an annual whatever routine blood test there is showing A1C and lipids and whatnot, and I do not have to pay.
What does zero trust have to do with this?
Definitely more than Apple and Intel, Google hires and pays for superior intellect. Only place that might pay better is specialized telco hardware engineers in finance (but that’s not of the same magnitude as modems or TPUs)
Well, since I clicked, I might as well provide a link to actual visuals (you know, it being a visual contest and all):

Maybe people in hurricane and flood zones? If you insist on living there, might as well live in a disposable house (Possibly want to get the price lower than 50k).

Small aside, I just looked up what houses look like in other parts of the world. Very few look like houses found in the US.
Disney won’t even make gay characters in their animated films, so they can make lots of China dollars. So good luck finding funding for your TV show to deeply hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.

Snowden’s description matches the definition you provide. The “two or more persons” is the “system”.
Almost no business application is written for performance at raw request speed. What Elixir brings is far more the that. Watch this if you want to understand why so many people fall in love with it. https://youtu.be/JvBT4XBdoUE
Well, ok. Swords to Plowshares, project Orion. There are things that might be more dangerous that might need a little bit more thought before just giving it a shot. But RTGs turned out to be pretty neat.

Superconducting supercollider was pretty much the end, as far as I can tell. That seemed to be the end of "try whatever crazy idea" and switched to "try what's promising". I mean, I guess it's ok. I would have preferred "try what's cheap".
All forms of government no matter how big or small are fcorrupt. That’s how it works—they/them who bends the will of the masses wins. Either that’s done by manipulating folks into believing the next candidate will “take their pain away”, or by inflicting pain for non-compliance. Or they change the rules: voter suppression, censorship, etc and pretend they “won the election.” Or they just murder the opposition and blame it on Santa Claus.
Thank you. If one trains an AI on a corpus of mediocrity, one should expect a mediocre result.

what does unemployment have to do with it? if you're 22 and paying off loans and suddenly find yourself unable to work as much but a barista, continued employment isn't exactly a perk. meanwhile, the benefits of the increased productivity brought by new technology do accrue somewhere - it's just not with workers. the trends on that are also quite clear. productivity growth has been high over the past 40 years but real wages have at best been stagnant. and on the wheel turns, finding souls to grind beneath it's weight, anew.
cool article. really long I skimmed it so far. seems focused on comparing economic elite/interest groups to common population, which would skew the policy measured to tangible economic/business outcomes?

My first thought to your comment was an opposing example of gay rights. Sure gay marriage was SCOTUS but it first changed as policy at the state level. politicians changed because it became popular enough and strong voice in media (remember obama was against marriage equality amongst other things at first). We're now seeing this struggle with Trans rights. Where it's >52% popular you see equality legislation, where it's a good wedge issue for Republicans they act against (e.g. DeSantis is running for president on the backs of attacking children..)

Civil Rights Act comes to mind too and interesting in that it had such strong opposition, interesting question of what are special interests if you expand beyond 'economic and business elite.' NAACP et al were very powerful.

Marijuana & decriminalization is another quick thought, though that's a bit more cloudy especially with later states with a more established business interest group. But I worked on the original campaign here in CO and our budget was pretty tiny...
Not to discount China's horrible authoritarianism in Hong Kong or elsewhere, but the tank man photo is a selective propaganda edit. Watch the whole video (as captured by CNN):

It works for me; I can definitely tell the difference in smoothness vs the MacBook I abandoned in favor of System76, but >90% of the time I use it docked to a big 4K monitor and when I'm untethered I value the extra battery life over the extra pixels. If I had to use the laptop screen as my daily driver it probably wouldn't work for me, though.
I hope it would suggest something like `//process.env.API_KEY` to get users in the habit of not storing secrets on repos.
Well, at least Copilot will bring some kind of "intelligence" to the party.
Article: The platform, known as NATO’s Service-Oriented Architecture and Identity Access Management (SOA & IdM) Project, is one of four core projects of NATO's IT modernization efforts.

So this expresses what "modernization" is - fob as much work as possible unto a job-shop/meat-grinder operation and watch things like this happen. I don't even know whether to laugh or be appalled, the Snowden leaks happened due to contracted-out sys admins, after all.
He means that people, on the whole, are more incompetent than malicious.

The first time you find out a billion dollar corporation relies on handful of dodgy Excel files, you recoil and wonder how such a company got so successful doing such idiotic things.

The second time you discover this, you marvel that you found the two companies that are successful in spite of such bad decision making.

By like the fourth or fifth time, you realize that this is the norm and no one really has it any more together than anyone else.
Even on a high deductible plan, the most a regular doctor consultation should cost is ~$250, in my experience. But we would need to know what exact codes were charged. The medical coding/charge system is complicated enough for people in the business, outsiders have almost no chance of getting it right at first glance.

Did you read that comment right? Selling pallets of materials and blueprints to individual people to make a single house is not even close to building up a wide area themselves.
That's not a problem caused by git, it's a problem caused by undisciplined developers.
would be pretty expensive if made up to code.

Also, something many of us are forgetting about: value of house is mostly not a structure. Having this house on 1/8 acre lot in the middle of desert would be horrible. You need water, sewer, power, internet, grocery stores, farms, parks, hospitals, gyms, coffee shops, theaters, airports. Structure alone wouldn't provide for this. It's the access to all the infrastructure that makes home so valuable
Snapdragon 7c DevKit looks poor, but it enforces app developers to optimize their app to poor cheap machines. This is somewhat good thing but personally I don't want to live with 7c.
There’s a time for independence and there’s a time to take a look at the evidence and realize that we are stronger together. This ends when we all act together. But people like you are why we will struggle to ever fully get rid of the virus. You try to sound reasonable but you’re not being reasonable when you disregard the evidence. Millions have taken it and are fine. You will be too.

The vaccines are safe.
Preventing a totalitarian government that has destroyed Hong Kong's freedoms, and is actively calling for military take over of Taiwan's democracy needs to be met with firm economic sanctions.

The Chinese Communist Party gains its legitimacy from it's economic achievements, so a global push to target that is reasonable.

Getting wealthy by trading with the democratic world is a privilege, not a right.
i like the French approach. whenever shit does not work they start building a guillotine: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6477953/Yellow-Vest...

It's a very powerful symbol that if things don't work out violence is on the table and people are going to be held accountable. For those who know a little French history, you know that those French people don't fuck around.
If you add SICP, you probably can't omit Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming either.
It's worth noting that the government surveillance secret wasn't actually kept very well, largely because of exactly the effect that Chomsky describes -- keeping all the numerous people in on the secret didn't work, and so we found out about it. I'd argue that the government surveillance example actually strengthens Chomsky's argument.
But its also not nothing, otherwise they wouldn't be so sensitive on the subject.
(The expanded and updated version of the parent's first referenced article is [1].)

I'd say on-topic. The core of incremental reading is a highly configurable mechanism of distributed exposure to your notes over time, which is an activity the article advocates for. In addition to letting the user walk the revision path through the note maze, the SuperMemo implementation walks the extra mile in suggesting an optimal schedule of revision given constraints, priority criteria, and past performance. The tools mentioned in the article, including (inc)remental, do not suggest any schedule of revision, nor explicitly tackle the problem of measurably preserving information in long-term memory (which, in SuperMemo, is the culmination of the incremental reading process).

The word "reading" in incremental reading can be misleading in establishing a relationship with note-taking, but "reading", here, is far more than "consumption": elaboration/editing of notes is encouraged (even necessary) for brain-friendly formulation and memory preservation, which is also another point the article touches on (though it ultimately seems to focus more on history preservation). An elaboration-first approach to incremental reading is incremental writing[2].

Imparting a sense of objective to the AI is surely important, and an architecture like AlphaGo might be useful for the general problem of helping a coder. I'm not seeing it, however, for this particular autocomplete-flavored idiom.

AlphaGo learns a game with fixed, well-defined, measurable objectives, by trying it a bazillion times. In this autocomplete idiom the AI's objective is constantly shifting, and conveyed by extremely partial information.

But you could imagine a different arrangement, where the coder expresses the problem in a more structured way -- hopefully involving dependent types, probably involving tests. That deeper encoding would enable a deeper AI understanding (if I can responsibly use that word). The human-provided spec would have to be extremely good, because AlphaGo needs to run a bazillion times, so you can't go the autocomplete route of expecting the human to actually read the code and determine what works.
I wish some of these interior designers would check out European or Japanese apartments for the layout. You could do a lot better (and I would never want to have to use the sink proposed in that clip on a day-to-day basis). That A/C location is just plain wrong (the kitchen is where you'll spend the least time). And that shelf splitting the living room + the bedroom? What?

Meanwhile you have like... storage for plates for 20 people as if you could ever feed more than 3 people at once. And that double-door fridge... I imagine that if you're in a more rural area it's more necessary but there's a lot better choices here if you are actually trying to make a livable space, instead of a place that offers good shots.
This looks a lot like a "set up your own AirBnB" thing. So much so I wouldn't be surprised if AirBnB made a strategic investment in this.
No, your statement is not correct. I can see your account was created on May 15, 2020 and that you have no other comments at https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=nbabra.

The OP account that posted the link was nmwnmw. It was created on May 23, 2020. It has 2 submissions (both Neeva) and no comment history, at https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=nmwnmw

It seems likely you work for Neeva. You should address these points as a Neeva representative if so. I'd be totally stoked to engage in constructive discussion about this, because it is actually an incredibly important issue.
I recommend the rugged beauty of Antarctica for anyone who believes "taxes are theft".
Honestly I hope you're right. I think many people (especially nowadays) pick SWE as a well-paying stable profession without being motivated by a noble quest for knowledge and enjoyment. And even though I personally may have passion now, I think it's possible that I may lose it later as I run into negative experiences like burnout.
I was wondering that myself. I fantasize about plopping a house down out in the desert, but their video shows a crane used to unfold it. By the time you get all the heavy machinery out there to prep the land and assemble the structure you're most of the way to just building something unique.
Alright, Cardi B. This isn't about haters.

Success has been compounding in fundamentally destructive patterns that are causing serious, unintended economic and societal consequences for 100 years now. If you're benefitting from that, great. I'm genuinely happy for you! But when it comes to policy making and interactions with others, holding onto a sense of personal exceptionalism hurts everyone. It also makes you look like an ass.
I digress. I thought this was a good idea, a good product at the outset. I hate scrolling through all the ads etc.

However. After reading the comments I decided to keep my wallet in my pocket. Is this good enough, was I supposed to think up the skepticism when I discovered the product?
> One notable difference between the two is that, unlike the USA Back Window, a bite from an Australian Redback can and has killed people.

How is that "unlike the USA black widow"? Wikipedia suggests they are more or less identical:

> The venom of the redback spider is thought to be similar to that of the other Latrodectus spiders.

> According to NSW Health, redback spider bites were considered not life-threatening

> In 2016, the death of a bushwalker from a redback spider bite was widely reported. Apart from that, there have been no deaths due to redback bite since the introduction of antivenom.

Compare

> In historical literature, fatalities were reported at anywhere between 0.5% and 12%,[2] but studies within the past several decades have been unable to confirm any fatalities from this or any of the other U.S. species of Latrodectus (e.g. zero fatalities among 23,409 documented Latrodectus bites from 2000 through 2008).

( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latrodectus_hesperus )

> In the United States, no deaths due to black widows have been reported to the American Association of Poison Control Centers since 1983.

( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latrodectus )

> Deaths from the Western Black Widow had been reported as 50/1000 in the 1920s.

( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latrodectus_mactans )

These articles all seem to agree that (1) Australian latrodectus and American latrodectus are similarly threatening; (2) the risk of death is significant if treatment is not available; (3) there is no significant risk of death when treatment is available.
Well, so GCP is pretty big on serverless architecture. It is completely possible that there is no GCE instance at all which has Cloud API access to a particular service.

A company might be making heavy use of BigQuery in their project, but have a data processing pipeline that uses tools like Cloud Functions, Scheduled Queries, and BQ Transfer Service to push sanitized data into a Cloud SQL instance for the front end to use.

So no GCE instance will need Cloud API access to BigQuery, so no matter what level of access is obtained by an intruder on any VM, they will never be able to access BigQuery.
On the other hand opening up economically to China didn't bring the Democracy we envisioned either.
Also all installer solution is somewhat hated.
Ask HN: Options for curating a music library in the 2020s
My first music was in books of CDs. Then came the iPod; I imported all my CDs into iTunes, and stuck with it longer than most. I'd regularly rate songs too, so eventually my library of thousands of songs had 0-5 star ratings, which was great for building smart playlists. Also liked that I could still easily listen to a complete album.

Of course I haven't bought an album in the past 10 years or so, since everything's on Spotify, Youtube Music, etc. But what I've lost is a sense of music that's mine. When I hear a song I like now I might hit the thumbs up or whatever, but it's not the same as adding the album to my collection. So I'm trying to recapture a bit of that sense - of curating a selection of music that I like. Ownership isn't really the issue; I don't feel a great need to actually own copies of the songs or albums, as long as whatever platform I use isn't going to disappear without the ability to export my library/ratings/whatever.

But what I would like is some kind of better system than the lack of one I have now. Ideally something that combines the feeling of an iTunes music library, where you have a list of songs in your library and potentially various (smart) playlists built based on genre and rating, with the reach and discovery of streaming platforms. For ratings I'd love to have star ratings and the ability to import my old ones from iTunes. As far as discovery, Pandora used to be great at that, although they stopped supporting Canada forever ago. Spotify seems OK, and youtube music kind of crap but better than nothing. But none of these seem to have the curation I'm going for. There are playlists, but no real sense of a library of songs that span playlists, nor of albums as distinct entities, nor star ratings. (Although maybe I'm not using them to the fullest.)

Does what I want exist? Has anyone cobbled together something close? Am I just using these tools wrong? Enlighten me.
Love how you guys are using django to solve a real world problem.

Surprised no one here has mentioned that Elon Musk is living in a Boxabl house in Austin, TX. This has totally perplexed the people who follow his every move.

https://www.chron.com/news/space/article/elon-musk-texas-hou...

I think that he might possibly be doing his homework. Can you imagine a Boxabl house outfitted with a solar roof, a Tesla battery and a Starlink dish?

I could see people having a remote cottage not hooked into the power line. I just know that Elon Musk doesn't do stuff without a reason.
Yeah if I were a doctor with insane amounts of debt after training for ten to fifteen years I would support any "cartel" that works to increase my salary too. Cheaper healthcare is not the only thing the US needs. Cheaper college education is important too.
My challenge is there are nerds who meditate especially billionaires. Steve Jobs is the most famous example, but there are a ton more. Meditation Tim Ferris has noted it with some of the most successful people in Tools of Titans, I can name a lot more. This is why it confuses me.
> Peaceful protests are proven to work more than violence;

Are they? Remember, a successful violent "protest" is often just retroactively called by a different name, like "revolution" or "coup d'état", it's not as if they're fundamentally different things. How do you compare those to successful peaceful protests?

This ! What I learned during the construction of my home is that the structure is really only one part of a construction. It’s a lot of raw material of course, but relatively cheap one and the construction of the structure is pretty fast. What takes months and a lot of money is just everything else : networks, windows & doors, walls, finishing …
I'm thinking in terms of 50+ years. The optimist in me thinks freedom-oriented people will win - eventually. But historically speaking the US is an anomaly, and the older I get the more impressed I am that people in the 1700's wrote the US constitution, considering every few decades serious threats to its core ideals erupt but are ultimately quashed.

What's even more crazy is 2 years ago saying the comment I did about China would have made me worried about my tech career in America. But now, people who previously supported and defended China need to back-pedal lest they are called out for supporting human rights abuses in the name of profit. It reinforces my belief that you should have principles that you stick with in all situations.
A User-Centred Approach to Functions in Excel (2003) [pdf]
This brings up something, I have wanted for a while. Something similar to about:config in FF, but is just enable/disable for every javascript API. An additional thing would the ability to make certain API always return a certain value, or write my own dummy function in JS to get around breaking sites.

Like some things I can disable in FF in about:config, but others I can not. Otherwise, I have to modify and compile FF and hope I don't break any extensions I use.

A similar thing would also be nice for HTML elements.
Yeah, get back to me when someone is willing to put those claims to the most minimal of tests. It should be as simple as verifying claims of breatharianism, and the video evidence should be as entertaining, too.
