A point on addressing China as market: for a non US company, I think there just isn’t any market that will be much easier to compete in either way.

If we imagine a Swedish chip maker that wants to become a global powerhouse, the US will dip a finger or two in it to make sure it mostly goes along their interests, otherwise the maker will just get banned from US use (Huawey…). China will do the same if the chips ever touch the chinese soil. Japan will tax it through the roof anyway. India is another kind of wild ride.

We’re left with the Russia, middle east, and Africa. Basically any company with big ambitions will need to choose to open up to China or US control up to a point, and understand that if they really become critical any legal ground they stand on can be swooped away with a sleight of hand.

I have no strong opinions on this, but for background, there are a bunch of Silicon Valley types like Eric Weinstein (Thiel Capital) who maintain that there are sinister undertones to the growing influence of Chinese immigrants in Tech and Higher Education.

It sounds like even if he's vaccinated he can still be infected and still spread the virus to others.

The vaccine's benefit is being less likely to have a serious case, be hospitalized or die.

Sounds like everyone should be masking up and social distancing with or without the vaccine.

That does not match my experience.

At the risk of engaging in a childish yes-no debate—and of using the No true Scotsman fallacy, you are absolutely wrong. In a real democracy you cannot vote your self a dictator. So there are policies—at least on a constitutional—level which you cannot blame the voters for.

Also—at the risk of Godwin’s law—historians usually don’t blame the German voters for the horrors of the Nazi regime, even though it was democratically elected, they blame the Nazis them self. As a current example, voters are not blamed for the current climate crises, even though politicians are.

I wish the author had provided any information regarding how the Chinese government had responded to the situation. Surely they understand that China as a whole is a loser and not a gainer in this situation.

This builds on the behavior that made MongoDB so phenomenally popular, as the article points out. Data management is pervasive in modern applications and anything that makes it easier for devs to implement is goodness.

You sound like you've never participated in an organized protest before. My union did exactly that: our membership included parking enforcement, so we denied entry to the parking lot. Blocking egress is illegal, so we'd open to let people out.

Of course, you can't really stop people who are willing to kill for their parking space. But the rest can be stopped with a throng of people blocking all ways but back.

Sunset, Parkside, and Marina are all wealthy areas in the north/west of the city.

Richmond is not in SF city.

Presidio is right next to the pier and thus I would consider it a "touristy area".

You're living under a (perhaps bejeweled) rock if you've lived in SF and never seen human shit, someone peeing between some cars, dead animals, homeless literally everywhere, disheveled buildings, trash piles lining the gutters, etc.
> Talking about China "invading" Taiwan sounds as ridiculous to me as talking about the United States "invading" Puerto Rico.

No, that is nonsense.

Taiwan is already its own country. It has its own laws, taxes, borders, and army, and it has been that way, for decades. That makes it a country, no mater what china says on the matter.

That is a much different situation than puerto rico.

What makes something a country, is not some document somewhere. Instead, what makes something a country is the facts on the ground of the situation.

IE, who controls the laws, taxes, borders, and military. All of which, are clearly not controlled by china.
What is your take on cfengine? Just curious...
>But I don’t think I’m the only one with a queasy feeling that Eastern elites seem to be admitting more people to the middle class while Western elites seem to be pushing people out of it.

I agree with this and everything in your comment but that specifically doesn't really make me queasy. I'm glad that the elites of some countries still seem focused on creating positive outcomes for their citizens, even if some in the West may want to quibble about the nature of those outcomes.

What gives me the queasy feeling is reading threads like this on HN where the top comments discuss the "security risk" of Chinese nationals/ABCs in American STEM fields (the parent makes the distinction of those fields related to national defence, but replies do not) (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28334051, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28332562) and the general preponderance of what I consider extremely shortsighted, low-info, and jingoistic comments. It's frightening. It's possibly hyperbolic but these comments about "security risk" in particular seem to carry the shadow of internment camps.

My basic queasy feeling is that certain western elites may be sleepwalking into something very bad here. I really hope that this feeling I have is just that mid-pandemic feeling of living through history in the making, but metastasized into areas where it doesn't belong.

edit: the comments I refer to are I guess a microcosm of the fact that China hawkishness in all its forms is one of the very few bipartisan issues in US politics right now. I'm not American, and again, this makes me very uneasy.

The continual failure of American political leadership is to be asleep at the wheel while China eats our lunch. It’s been happening for 40 years and the only President with any inclination to stop it was too idiotic to succeed.

Vodobanka is my personal go-to timewaster, but it's not neccesarily kid-friendly (though not gratuitously violent). At it's core, it's a randomly-generated tactical puzzle game reminiscent of Breach and Clear, and it lets you choose how long you'd like to play for (with settings ranging from elevator trip to DMV visit) which is a much appreciated touch. Don't know who made it, but my heart goes out to you for making a mobile game that doesn't completely suck.

That's a good point, and it might scare some people away, but the same model already exists for Qt, and is very successful there. Sure, nobody knows how successful Qt would have been had it been MIT licensed. But still, people do buy Qt. Generally, the moment you sell something you can also afford licenses for a library, because money gets involved.

Eh, I agree that the problem is most visible to newcomers precisely due to the housing layout around Tenderloin/SOMA, but frankly even once you go past that, it's fairly obvious that north/west SF is where affluent neighborhoods are (the trailer city near Lake Merced notwithstanding) and the south/east side is poor. Correlating school ratings to geographic location, for example, makes that divide abundantly clear.

FWIW, I've personally witnessed theft in inner Richmond - one of the nicer areas - and I know that it's an issue all the way out to the Safeway by Ocean Beach (I used to live in front of it and there were cops posted at the door all the time, and recently I've spotted tents in the parking lot)

“You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously y’all. Stop it.”

FDA… You approved the drug for use in humans and it has less side effects than acetaminophen / paracetamol… y’all.

That was bs from the FDA, but it’s ok because the folksy “y’all” is endearing to who I assume they were internally calling ”flyover hicks self-medicating with horse paste”.

All they had to say was we have not approved this medication for covid and the animal applications are not approved for use in humans, their dosages can be very dangerous.
For every western JV in mainland China the local Chinese partner owns 51%

It’s been that way for ages, you don’t get allowed to do business there otherwise
"Arm China had stellar financial results. Arm holding, with 49% share of the company, has significant upside to gain from the market."

This is because clients and accounts that previously belonged to Arm had to be handed over to Arm China if Arm wanted to continue doing any business with Chinese firms, regardless of whether they'd actually courted their business.

This is like picking your left pocket and arguing that you stand to gain because I'm putting some of the money back into your right pocket. I'm still robbing you, even if I'm giving you some of your own money back.
Google Plans to Cut Remote Workers’ Salaries by 25%
Didnt they make 69bn usd last year? I dont pretend i understand, but I think they are good at something at least.
The point is that it's true when you point the finger to US companies. US companies are extensions of the US elites (while the state is just a tool). Actually US elites have way more power over foreign companies than Chinese elites do.

I really don't think it's gonna make any real difference if we are facing (strong state + weaker corporations) or (strong corporations + weaker state).
We have a 100% remote company. We run our business on Google Sheets. It's entirely sufficient for our purposes which include cloud cost modeling (we do a lot of that) as well as cash flow management and financial projections.

I'm an Excel fan as well but in our case it simply would not work due to the fact the team is spread across so many locations.

c is usually set to 1 if you’re doing relativity. It’s more a scale factor, and more a statement about the rest of physics than about relativity.

The same is true for G. It’s an important constant of course, but it’s an… adapter. I’m not sure if I’d say relativity has any free parameters at all, but really “relativity” is just “perspective, when one of the dimensions involved is time.”

…special relativity anyway.

For a universe with massive particles, massless particles and four dimensions, there are only about three ways you can build its geometry and have it make sense. Of the two others, 4-Euclidean spacetime had trouble with causality, and Galilean relativity (infinite speed of light) has trouble with everything else.

So, in a sense, relativity is super-determined. There certainly are other possible universes that work out to be consistent, but they’re further away and fewer in number than you’d think.

Einstein was able to do a lot of work in his head, with no experiments, because he figured out that every other option was inconsistent. We’d very much like a final theory of everything to be similar.
Patents expire, after that you're free to use them. Trade secrets are another thing...

But, this framework did not exist before the XVII and XVIII centuries. So anything beyond that time frame is moot.
Apple seems to disagree strongly with this position when it comes to paying royalties for patents on components they rely on from other companies in the iPhone (that’s supposedly built from the ground up). I’m not sure why no one ever thought to tell Apple that they should just thank these companies for inventing the critical radio technologies that their entire platform rests on and pay them whatever these companies think is appropriate.

It’s so fascinating how other people’s inventions are “obvious” and not worthy of exorbitant fees, while our own inventions are unique and clearly deserve special protections.
Chinese get paid to build the ASIC but instead of delivering as promised, they just keep it for themselves and mine with the designs.
The US is not going to interfere in 'Swede Corp' unless it's a serious issue of state security. Spottily could be worth $500B and they would not care. Recently Erickson took the spotlight as one of the few alternatives to 5G Huawei there was talk of US sate intervention but that might have been a good thing for them, otherwise, if they came to totally dominate 5G gear sales, again, the US wouldn't really have cared.

Nokia used to completely own mobile, Apple and Google game to dominate that but not out of a national strategy of some kind, although there are systematic artifacts of it behind the scenes.

Someone who doesn't know that the Richmond is a district of San Francisco doesn't get to pompously lecture me on not knowing about the city I lived in for seven years. Also, the Sunset is not a particularly wealthy district and it's not in the northwest.

I never claimed that these problems don't exist, but the idea that they're part of life in every part of the city is simply false.
I agree they are fixable, not even particularly difficult. But there’s no political will.
It's impossible to make a case to right wingers because 2nd generation immigrants tend to be strictly left wing, and more progressive to boot. And imo, as a 2nd generation asian american, they tend to have a more overt racial identity and it doesn't necessarily manifest in a way that leads to a cohesive society. I knew a fair number of other asian americans who strictly saw America as a colonizing force, basically the bad guy. On one hand they're not wrong about the colonizing, but on the other hand it's not exactly a healthy mindset to have about your nation, and more to the point, it's antithetical to the entire right wing political ideology. The strict nationalism of the Chinese works in their favor imo, and the US doesn't have much of a chance in matching it.

> CCP leadership has been very clear that any US troops in Taiwan will instantly trigger an invasion.

The CCP has a lot of "red lines" that gets crossed all the time, and they don't do anything about it.

Until they actually follow through on any of their burning, do not cross, red lines, I am not going to take such threats seriously.
When I was in elementary school I made paper out of cut up blue jeans and learned that it was invented in China. I also learned that the Egyptians invented papyrus, which was similar to paper but shittier. Recalling it now, I also remember that I grew up in a paper mill town.. so maybe my school placed an unusually strong emphasis on paper. Still, I don't think China inventing paper is esoteric knowledge in America.

I can't remember when I first heard that China invented wooden movable type, but I do recall reading about it a whole lot online in discussions quite like this one.
Ok, so let me innovate. I'm going to dump a bunch of my money into researching and developing a new product. Great, that $100M paid off, now we have something we can produce and market.

Oh, what's that? Someone who didn't put $100M of their own money into R&D just came along and stole our design. Now I'm $100M in the hole, and need to sell my product for more money than my rip-off competitor, because I actually need to make my R&D investment back. Of course, consumers don't care about whether I invested money in R&D or not, they just want the cheapest thing. So they buy the rip-off, and then I go out of business.

I've learned my lesson: Never innovate when someone can come along and just take exactly what you innovated. It's far better to be a parasite, and rip off a true innovator and send them into bankruptcy while you reap the profits.

Where exactly does the innovation race happen?

If I could just steal books and publish them as my own, do you expect there to be an "innovation race" in authorship? Or, will authors-who-earn-money just stop writing because they can't make a living off of it?
