The $36T figure isn't unreasonable, just cherry-picked. It's counting up the costs without counting the money that is no longer spent elsewhere.

It's like saying that if I decide to patronize the Chevron station it's going to cost $800/year to buy gas, without considering that I'm currently spending $800/year at the Shell station.

it's quite obvious the mainstream media is censoring itself wrt Assange. they didn't report much from the trial. they act as if Assange is just some random person that broke bail, not that he is someone that exposed the US gov crimes and practically lost his life for it.

he will never get out of prison. I'm sure US have 10 backup plans ready to be set in action in case there is a chance he will be set free in the UK. if he manages to be free for just 1 day, he better fly to Russia on that day.

And by "doing something" we mean, doing something ineffective, and you bear all of the burden, and get none of the benefit.
Not really? In my view, that's done from a posture of weakness. "You're hurting our feelings" is very different from "shut up or we'll break your face".

I mean, China does use bullying, especially on racially Chinese people who live in other nations. But I don't think this counts. It's still an abuse of peoples' good faith and good nature, but it's not bullying.

At best, "hurting the feelings of the Chinese people" assumes that everyone else has a "face" culture similar to China's, and therefore will respect the complaint. At worst, it makes China sound like an emo teenager, which is almost certainly not the image that they want to project...
I think you are willfully misinterpreting what the parent said.

Not paying them directly for services is very different than never engaging in transactions which involve something as a third-party. And it means this person isn't directly paying them to do anything.

I feel like the only person who actually likes the Fidelity app. Sure, it's not visually attractive like Robinhood but the amount of information you get is far greater. Also the iOS app works on both my iPhone and iPad whereas Robinhood only renders the phone view on iPad. The app even has proper support for the Magic Keyboard so cursor interactions work the way they should on iPadOS. Fidelity definitely has a "boomer UX" quality about it but once you get used to it, it's really not that bad.

I know my answer was probably unwanted cold water, but you sounded like you needed some support, and I'm still watching this thread in case what little help I can provide can help your sanity.
What customers hate is tier 1 support acting as a brick wall between them and the people with the solution to their problem. Or at least that's how they perceive it.

While I don't shout at tech support, as I know what the script is, you better believe my blood is quietly boiling as I'm rebooting various devices that have nothing to do with the issue on their instruction, just so I can get to an appointment with technicians to fix my real issue.

Same thing occurs with GP doctors, and basically every other system in tiers, where it inevitably organizes to basically stall you, so people don't overload the higher tiers.
I don't care that it's by a communist party leader. The point is that it will just trigger the more triggerable internet people.

Speeches by leaders of major powers are generally off topic on HN. They all make them all the time. It takes a subtle and experienced eye to read anything interesting in them. More importantly, this is not a geopolitics site.

A 100th anniversary speech is arguably a little less garden-variety, but then again, arguably not - there's always some historical event at hand to tie the latest speech to, and the latest speech is always about the geopolitics of the present.

I don't see how this is in any way a controversial call. Biden speeches and Putin speeches aren't on topic here either, barring something super unusual.

TPM keys are protected by policies. A policy can be based on the system state (hashes), a password, or both. There are also complex policies using the Extended Authorization feature. If you don't care about platform state or configuration, then you can just set a key policy with just a password. The TPM will lock you out if you make too many incorrect guesses.

You can in fact put passwords on most TPM internal objects. See this example https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tools/blob/master/man/...

He is formally President of the People's Republic of China.

He is also Chairman of the Central Military Commission, though my understanding is that these go hand in hand.

He is also General Secretary of the Communist Party, so in the the context of the speech I suppose that this may be the most fitting title.

Edit: In response to temp8964 (reply to this comment):

What's the difference between Chairman and President in your translation of that title?

I understand that 主席 often (always?) refers to committees, etc, which may be translated as 'chairman' because of that. But really the difference between 'president' and 'chairman' is etymology and usage rather than strict definition, like is often the case in English: 2 words meaning the same thing with one of Latin/French origin and 'posher' and one of Anglo-Saxon origin.

A chairman presides. A president presides.

The usage seems to be that a chairman presides a committee and that a president presides a government.

Does he want to be be called president? Or was it decided that this was a better contextual translation?

This is arguing over nothing, really.

Ok, but corp owner still can't benefit from the gain without generating a taxable event. Either they pull the money out directly or receive a benefit in kind.

But don't you still need to switch on all of the possible errors to figure out what to do?

I guess I'm thinking about something that's more like a strategy that you tell the system. E.g. if it's retryable, so do this many times or up to this many seconds. If it's not possible to write (out of space, device no longer exists, internet is down), then hand me back a string I can display to my user about the error. Etc. Something that is more akin to all the cases that you'd have to handle being done inside of a library call, with easy predictable ways to work with very few possible error(s) that get returned.

> only if you can manufacture the car in a way that the reduced emissions over its lifetime are not offset by additional emissions during manufacturing and decommissioning.

This is a really bad faith argument I hear, a real eye roller. It never advances the conversation, it is a proverbial “just asking questions.”

Why bad faith? You, your friends and the things you read never bring this up about electric trains and busses. If a Tesla doesn’t amortize by some napkin analysis, neither would an electric bus by that same exact analysis - just because someone somewhere doesn’t like Tesla, doesn’t mean there’s any truth to “electric car emissions don’t amortize.” Just because some article online somewhere says electric busses do and Teslas don’t also doesn’t make it true.

The worst thing the environmental activist community could do is lose Tesla as an ally. Nobody is going to give a fuck about some cobalt mines somewhere, as horrible as they are, or whatever more substantive grievance it is, if we have to endure another 20 years of excess emissions because environmentally conscious people second guess the purchasing of electric cars.
It is absolute nonsense to claim that taxing profits would encourage accelerated automation. These aren’t just uncorrelated trends, but more automation will mean higher profit margins, which will mean more taxes….

This sort of lie is common amongst a certain class of exceptionally dishonest right-wing shill who wishes to pretend that something inevitable (automation costs keep going down wildly) is actually the fault of the government.

It’s a shame that people like you insist on making such dishonest bad-faith arguments.

Practitioners of meditation and breathing exercises may find recognition in some of it. But, meditation/mindfulness is more about observing thought and feelings come and go, as you breathe.

This is to be taken in a historical context.

China has indeed been bullied, oppressed, and subjugated by foreign forces in the recent past. That's has been key in Chinese politics over the last century. He is sending the message that this is not to happen again and that China is now strong enough to defend itself and to assert its own interests.

This is neither an aggressive nor controversial statement, really. I don't know any country that's happy to be bullied or oppressed.
I bought a mid-range Vizio about two years ago. Vizio has progressively made its OS more and more laggy every few months and filled it to the brim with unblockable ads. Software updates would regularly break things for a few days/weeks at a time until the changes get rolled back.

> On other distributions secure boot doesn't work out of the box and requires some manual tweaking

I can’t recall having issues with Fedora, but I’m not 100% on that. I might be wrong.

> Also, secure boot will have implications, for example with secure boot enabled you cannot load unsigned kernel modules.

I mean, that’s kinda the point. You should be able to boot into a kernel you can trust is untampered, and that includes blocking unsigned modules from being loaded.

Let’s face it: allowing that would essentially erase any trust you had built up until that point.

You can always enroll your own keys though?

> for example the NVIDIA one, works by building a kernel module, you cannot install them, the distribution must provide a binary signed module or you won't be able to use them

For Nvidia that’s a bit if a pain, but I’m not a gamer and has always used the open source nouveau drivers instead.

For me secure boot is clearly worth it (much improved security) at near no cost. For you the tally may be different, and I’m ok with that.

I’m just trying to help kill the myth that you can’t UEFI secure boot Linux, because clearly you can. People are doing it every day.

At this point you have to be wilfully ignorant if you still believe you can’t.

But look in this thread: replies upon replies and downvotes en masse on unopinionated, factual posts. Maybe some people really want to remain ignorant? I really can’t tell.

… that’s unique r&d for some companies. Why does it need to be standardised?

Apple batteries are typically much smaller than what is in androids, because their chips are less power hungry… same goes for Tesla, their cars are more efficient… so standard battery packs would harm their overall product

Don’t buy a device with a non replaceable battery if you don’t want one… why do you need the government for that?

That wasn't the first Chinese invasion of Vietnam, though. The first time they stayed for a thousand years. (At least, that's how the Vietnamese tell it.)
... but they all have (effectively) the same rate either way, no? The point isn't for them all to have the same rate, it's for that existing same rate to be higher, right? That it would be, in effect, the same, isn't an outcome of this move. That that same rate would be non-zero is the outcome.
I know the benefit. I'm saying the obstacle is the same. Tell the shareholders "Hey, we're hiring expensive lobbyists to go to Congress and explain why we shouldn't be beholden solely to making you the most money when it does harm to the planet", and they're probably going to start clamoring for the board to replace you. Certainly, they will be if the more benign "Hey, we're focusing on long term sustainable growth that won't destroy the planet, at the expense of short term profits" would lead to you being replaced.
