“This firm is called “安谋科技”, and is not part of Arm Holdings.”

The article then repeats the name many times using those UTF characters.

This fascinates me because it’s the first time I’ve seen an English article reference a proper noun in a different language without providing any help with how to read or pronounce it.

I think it’s also fascinating because it feels like a sign of the continued advance of Mandarin (I think?) as a first class world language, rather than everyone working in English for international compatibility. I seem to recall how China, Japan, etc. might operate in their more native languages, but they’d still always use English company and product names.

Or maybe I’m way off and just noticing signal where there is none.
Yeah, I haven't heard of that, but it seems like this kind of corruption is the most possible explanation.
We need to bring back smaller homes in walkable neighborhoods. We aren't providing the right kinds of housing.

Our American ideal is a home designed for a nuclear family with a breadwinner father, homemaker mother and 2.5 kids because that's who had the money to finance the birth of the modern suburb. That was never the majority of our demographics but we've further diversified away from that in the decades since.

Meanwhile, our housing stock has increasingly converged on their ideal home and that ideal home has grown larger and more sprawling over time because the only people who could afford it were people with good money. Our 1950s suburban home has more than doubled in size, from about 1200 sqft to over 2400 sqft in recent years.

If we had just kept building 1950s style little suburban homes, we wouldn't have such a mess. But we didn't. Our homes today are that single family detached house dream on steroids.

We need to reverse course. We have vastly more small households of just one to three people, meanwhile our housing stock tends to skew to three bedrooms or larger.
Warm them a little and you can make them weaker. you have to be gentle though. Edit: Curie temperature of neodymium magnets is 320°C so "a little is relative".
At this point the only economically rational thing for the other 45% to do is leave. Yes California is awesome in lots of ways, but it's someone else's house (literally) and you don't really live there.

If enough people do this, the NIMBYs will get what they deserve as home values crash.
I doubt bridges are a threat. It's all about capturing revenue streams.

Lol, I love the slogan, and it may be true. But I will go down fighting this fight, and in my estimation it is getting easier to fight, even if it's not yet clear who will win.

I would not blame anyone for leaving, given the current insanity of state and local politics, but I also welcome the growing crowd of politically active young people that have far more skin in the game than the aged "got mine, forget you crowd. So if you ever do return, get in touch with local political orgs and you will be making a positive difference.
I don't remember there being huge surges after Laura and whatever the one in october was, in 2020. I might be misremembering, but the primary issue was the incredible heat, and lack of water, radio, power, ice, food, etc. In the coastal regions they suffered for weeks - we only had a rough go of it for 3 days where i'm at, and it hit us Cat 3, plus tornadoes.
I believe based on your "short lifetimes" comment that you're mixing up TLS, designed to guard against the coffee shop scenario with mTLS designed to guard against interacting with your bank.

In the coffee shop scenario, run.linkerd.io does not need to know who you are, but you need to ensure it is actually run.linkerd.io and not some rando with a DNS hijack running.

In the banking scenario, you need to know bank.example is the institution you think it is, and they need to know who you are in order to only allow you access to the assets that are rightfully yours

My comment was actually only mildly related to the mTLS content of the article, and more an observation of "good tutorial habits makes for good security habits in readers," especially when the changes are so minor as compared to their benefit
> Measuring is undervalued

Goodhart's law has been a problem with measures.

“When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.”

The problem is that a competitive measure tends to overshadow the utility of the measure (look at anything that starts with a TPC- or the first rotation of a Tesla roadster tire).

So the biggest impact of a measure is immediately after it is introduced, because the market hasn't engineering itself to overfit to that measure.

And that is what Dan's post clearly says, that immediately after he brings up something, there is an actual change in the industry practice that happens.

> it doesn't show off creativity.

But something like Jepsen is amazingly useful because it is a creative nothing-up-my-sleeves end-run around first-party testing - actual third party testing for the product is the red-team to a QE team doing the blue-team work. The problem is that a lot of people leave that to the same vendor who is selling the product with its promises from their sales team - it is hardly an open book into the bugs open list (I work in open-source, so I have to wash my dirty laundry in public).

As a side not to this, I had a meeting in the last 2 days where someone told me that the "QE team is doing a good job, because the test have been consistently green as the release approaches".

And I didn't know exactly how to respond to that.

> I don't write discord bots so you can type a slash command to do a thing. That's boring. Good bots can read messages. Discord will be very "not dope" and "not cool" if bots are forced to become a sterilized pick-list of interaction options.

Are there large bots that are particularly dynamic? Every bot i've seen with any real usage across servers has a !help command with a static set of commands. Plus, on almost all of them you can change the command prefix to a special character like `~`, which was very needed with multiple bots defaulting to the `!` character, thus causing multiple bots to respond at once to commands where the user only intended one bot to respond.

Sure, there are a couple of attractive areas, but a lot of it is just ugly sprawl. I love driving in to the city and looking over rows of boxes smashed together in rows. It looks a lot like Tijuana. So much of the city is treeless and just poorly maintained old buildings from what looks like the 50s and 60s. Sure, lots of old victorians and some of them are even taken care of. The parks are pretty. Overall though, I don't get the appeal. SF is perpetually cold and dreary. I know some people like that, but it's definitely not my cup of tea. Throw in the high cost of living, the crime, homelessness, the sidewalk poop(stepped over some last time I was there)... But hey, it's expensive, so someone must like living there, right?
I've never dabbled with multi-threading in Rust, so I'm curious how far it can go in practice.

In our closure, we probably can't have any RefCell or Rc or anything that could reach either of those things, because those can't be safely reachable by multiple (even read-only) threads.

And I think these closures can't contain references to the outside world? I might be wrong on this one. And maybe structured concurrency could help here, though RefCell and Rc might confound that.

How well do Rust closures work in practice? Have you found a good use for them?
I worked on Pokemon GO until a bit after launch. One of the things I liked about the game was there wasn’t really a way to “whale out” and that the company made most of their money from a wide group of players paying a few dollars rather than the typical Zynga-style whale game.

Has it become a lot worse now?
There are public toilets and restrooms all across the city. It's valid to complain about the homeless who choose not to poop in them.
We all get to points in our careers where we forget to set boundaries. We forget the considerable power we wield. Most crucially: the power to leave.

But before that the power to disconnect from work, to not have slack on your personal phone, and to simply say “no” and set boundaries. You could get fired, true, but thats their loss. You’re lucky in tech that you’ll almost certainly land on your feet.

Veteran dies of treatable illness as Covid fills hospital beds
Each show i listen to generally will have a primary sponser, who writes the show "headline song" and generally that sponsor will write lyrics to make that a jingle that has to do with their product.

Then you get the intro to the show, and sometimes a product spot. Then the show starts, and depending on the format (half hour, multi-part 12 minute, etc) you may get a mid-roll and finally at the end a final sponsor message, plus the studio (like CBS) would pitch other shows on their network, and the star of the show would also have their current movies and other productions pitched at the end, as well.

Check out Richard Rogue on OTRR or archive.org for both styles, the mid-roll and the post-intro roll with jingle, it varies depending on year of production. Their main sponsor was Fitch, as far as i can tell.

The theft of IP in a less interconnected age with different IP laws, at a smaller scale? If it was good enough for the British and the Americans, why not a policy from the top down for the Chinese in the modern age?

It would explain what China is doing in Africa, and their treatment of African immigrants in China during the pandemic. Colonialism was OK back then too! And many countries did it! Why not a more modern take by China [1]?

in western companies, executive assistants very often have the exact same ability, up to and including signed full power of attorneys for executing on the ceo’s life where work blends into personal life.

i’m not surprised at this at all.

in the western context many executive assistants end up being appointed the executor of the ceo’s estate / will as a matter of business continuity.
Sickening is it? You're physically ill from reading that?

We can talk frankly about real problems as they exist, their potential causes and solutions, and we can be right, wrong and everywhere in between. But what we can't do is continue looking for excuses to get outraged so as to feel morally superior to other people. If you want to see where that gets us, look no further the homeless problem in California.
Thanks, when I was working on a particularly convoluted React codebase, I realized that it's better to pass dependencies into modules rather than importing them and, when I looked around to see what prior art there was to this idea, I came across https://gbracha.blogspot.com/2009/06/ban-on-imports.html

I’ll add that the content of the work, especially around the but not-limited-to the advertising business, can be soul-grinding on its own. As a young person it’s easy to buy into almost any business model, but when you find yourself an instrument of exploitation it can create cognitive dissonance and anxiety. Whether it’s deceiving users, getting them to spend more than they can afford, or creating a wake of environment damage, it’s hard to justify getting paid to do certain kinds of work, regardless of how much you’re “making the world a better place”. Getting paid extremely well to do it makes it feel somehow worse.
This seems like a feature rather than a product.

Someone putting together a Visa/Mastercard branded product with a similar "pay in N installments" model could easily outcompete them. You wouldn't have to negotiate entry with every merchant and develop new integrations-- it would just drop into the existing credit card infrastructure.

What does it add to our knowledge? That some sample of people have more antibodies than a non-equivalent sample? I could have told you that without a scientific study.

That same sample of people who had the illness may have had more, fewer or equal antibodies if they had not gotten sick and instead got vaccinated. This study does not tell us anything about which is the more likely possibility.
what good is your house doubling in value if all the other houses have also doubled in value?
Yep, this is a pretty accurate. If you have a full truckload of stuff, small air freight cannot compete. But if you're trying to move a single pallet, the airship is the best way to do it.

The one thing I'd add is that we deliberately chose 650 lbs to go a size class lower than a Cessna Caravan, because autonomy has enormous benefits for a 650 lb payload aircraft. At that size the pilot alone takes up 1/4 of your payload capacity!
The problem isn't that 55% is "high" (or not). The problem is that, currently, there is a housing problem that is significantly profitable for 55% of a population. This means that 55% of people have conflicting interests with fixing this problem.
I agree it makes no sense. Did the collision happen autonomously just before the driver attempted to take over manual control?

They're not a voting block and their financial well being doesn't revolve around their home prices remaining high.

If you buy a $1M 1400 ft^2 in CA, and the price goes down, you're going to be deeply underwater in your mortgage. If home prices stay high enough long enough than it "embeds" itself into politics.
I find this to be equally true for Apple's hide my email service and Apple Pay.

When I have to give my email out - to sign up for a service, or make a one time purchase online for the receipt etc, Apple provides the option to use a unique anonymized email alias that forwards to my iCloud account.

When I want to unsubscribe from any of these services, I control it directly and can just delete email alias for that service instead of going through unsubscribe flows which don't seem to work half the time.

I love using Apple Pay for a similar reason. It has that, it just works, quality, especially when ordering packages.

There's absolutely zero friction and never any fixing of incorrect auto filled forms. I get the same experience everywhere and its always seamless.
I think you make a mistake by treating homeless people as an homogenous group.

See: https://conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/alexander-the-gr...

"ALEXANDER THE GRATE: So, one thing about food insecurity — everybody talks about that, but nobody mentions toilet insecurity. What comes in has got to go out, and that’s not readily . . . Before the Eisenhower Memorial, with a free restroom here — that’s back up by the resources by the way — the closest one to the area was at the Washington Monument, a mile away, basically."
Yes, and those 55% wield extremely disproportionate political power. This is why I’m pessimistic that NIMBYs will always rule.
I don't think housing prices are an issue. one part of the homeless are mentally ill. This is a very hard problem and I don't think anyone has the answers for yet, but its not home prices.

Another major group of the homeless is drug addicts. Again, home prices isn't going to change that.

I think its very rare someone goes homeless because their rent went up. if they can't afford it, they usually move.

I'll get down-voted before this but that's how I feel, and I think this 'more affordable homes will solve homelessness' is a waste of time.

I hear this often and I realize that there are not enough programmers to meet the demand, however I have seen estimates of at least 500,000 software engineers working for large tech companies in the United States. It seems like that is a large number of people that presumably passed difficult algorithm-based interviews. Are programmers really that rare in this day and age?
Well, they aren’t, they just think you won’t get a better offer. The operative word in Bay Area Salaries was “Bay Area.”
Who are these people? Why are they homeless? Where are their families? Do they want to not be homeless? What is preventing them from not being homeless?

Before you try to answer the question of what they should do and where should they go, I think you realistically need to answer these questions.
This is a tragedy. RIP Daniel Wilkinson.

Or as some of the people on fashion channels say "cover". When you dress you have a purpose but covering is just putting cloth on your body no thought to its look.

Many people now just cover themselves. They mindlessly throw on a t-shirt, shorts, hoodie, most often if not always it's sports-type clothing. And sneakers not shoes. It's hard to tell the 10 year-old people from the 40 year-old people these days just going by clothing.
I think its the second part of the last sentence you missed. California has empathetic social services. But also 4 of those states have harsh summers. Some just have small populations in general. The biggest city in alabama has only 200k people. California has multiple major city areas
Would helmets in cars make them safer though? It's a different risk profile; I don't think you tend to fall out of your cars and hit your head?

I don't think arresting people solves problems. Just makes them shittier people when they get out a week later.
Ok, yeah the lack of walkable cities does make sense. Almost all cities require cars even with cheap housing, and large cities provide better job opportunities. I still feel we're not factoring in people's motivation for living on the streets, and authorities seem to provide incentives which encourage it. I'm sure there is a percentage of people that could find alternatives like living with a friend or relative, if they really had to, but CA feels forcing people is somehow not being empathetic or something, when really you are enabling them and perhaps setting them up for a lifetime of being on the streets.

I think we should factor in incentives, and also the diverse reasons and motives each person has, as oppose to blaming it all on lack of housing.
I personally live in a very very small home and live minimally and it cost me almost nothing. I'm sure I lucked out compared to the average person.

So what is the reason that these smaller homes aren't more common? I would think that if there were a market for these homes someone would cash in on it, so is it zoning? Is it people's aversion to building their own homes themselves and the service-ification of everything? How do we reverse course and what are the pressures preventing that, in your view?
