> China has been doing this for, what, 30-40 years now? How is this news?

Company take-overs maybe. But to say that this is like the past is either ignorant or misleading. The stakes here are so much different than a mere spat over corporate property.

This is the modern right to build computing machines. One rogue element in China has hijacked not merely a company, but a volume of IP that circumscribes probably hundreds of billions of devices. 99% of the consumer mobile devices on the planet are powered exclusively by this IP and a vast vast range of other consumer devices too. By usurping & overthrowing IP controls, by seizing this asset, Allen Wu has instigated a civilization-level technical fork, where the rest of the world has pre-legally-bound themselves to ban practically all future ARM China chips & any device licensed by ARM China. ARM China meanwhile is incentivized to license, sell & distribute as widely as possible, to make themselves an interesting competitive force, turning the heist into a self-sustaining movement of progress & growth for chipmaking, bolstered by less rules, less cruftiness, less legalese, more can do.

Just to remind everyone, software has eaten the planet. Modern upstarts like RISC-V have been trying to grow a reasonable new basis to compute from, to host software atop, but to be honest, x86 and ARM are the only two players running this world-eater. AMD has gotten to play & keep x86 interesting & competitive because they got a license very very long ago, and ARM has been holding the reigns of the other horse, dictating how it evolves. RISC-V is just getting started, is almost no where, is only beginning to find itself, albeit has some good chops demonstrated on the lower end microcontroller type chips. But so far no one has been able to be interesting with chips. And ARM China is hereby announcing that they give no ducks, that they have whatever blasted sovereignty they want, that they will take & make new as they see fit from here on out. And they will almost certainly find many in China to work with. Which is something ARM in the rest of the world has gotten worse and worse and worse at over the years, as countless companies fold their application processor divisions to increasing competition.
No one and everyone is responsible. Capital has its hands tied and must pursue higher profits. The ones responsible aren't just the ones that signed the paper but the ones that made and perpetuated the system that made that decision necessary.
That looks amazing. Did you have fun building it? What's your tech stack?
Why is the article blaming SoftBank? They bought Arm fair and square. They can do with their acquisitions as they please. Arm is a profit seeking company like every other profit seeking company. They sold themselves to make their founders rich. They are not some beacon of Western liberty that people like to make it out to be.

Every single government, bureaucracy, expert, official, authority in anyway all gained power during covid. A lot of them “discovering” powers they had no idea they had (CDC, evictions).

I agree it’s unlikely anyone will give it up willingly.

Eg for bipolar, during the manic phase (or what I assume was the manic phase) the driving was more erratic while during depressive phase it was pretty calm.

In general it felt like three things swung wildly between manic/depressive: sleep (more sleep when depressive), driving (more erratic during manic), and weight (higher weight when depressive).

Very small sample size and I'm in no way qualified in this topic, it's just observation.
Nitpick: Paper is different to papyrus and was much more important because you don’t need reeds to make it, which Egypt had a monopoly of. After the Roman Empire collapsed no-one could get papyrus and had to use parchment which was super expensive and resulted in most people becoming illiterate because they could’t afford writing / reading material (the dark ages)

Then paper came along (from China) and made it cheap again.
+1 on this. You really need something to tell you what "normal" looks like. Things like what the busy times are each day or what the normal number of requests/errors are.

If you have no feel for what normal looks like on you system then it'll take longer to notice problems and longer to fix them.

I've heard the phrase "I've got the cancer". As if there's only one cancer to get, and everyone will know of it.

Then again, the English say "I'm going to hospital" where an American would say "I'm going to the hospital", so maybe the Bard used up all of the (how do you pluralize the??) so that the English use it less? At least the TFA author might theorize as such.
I don't think it's going to dispel the scary monster because some people would argue that "They have roots in China", so maybe just get every Chinese out of the door?

> It's a shame that more people aren't commenting on this page. It is lovely.

The illustrations are nice, but they often make so little sense: the topic is mostly about molecular interactions, yet the illustrations show macroscopic scenery. Also, the entire article reads like a grab-bag of Wikipedia entries, and only the first paragraph of each entry. I thought this was going to be an in-depth article about magnets! Furthermore, the entire page including the text is an image, which is not how the web is supposed to work.
> the amount of money a game like Genshin Impact can make over time can fund development far in excess of what a traditional shipped-and-finished game could afford (even with expansions/etc). This improves the experience for everyone

This relies on 2 premises that I find very unlikely. That A) the additional funding is actually spent on improving the game and B) that this doesn't create a downward pressure on the games industry that essentially all games race to the bottom for whales, draining all possible investment funds and crowding out genuinely good games that would be designed by people who genuinely love games instead of being designed by addiction psychologists.
This is exactly why I tend to profoundly disagree with a lot of people in tech who very strongly advocate that Apple should be less restrictive in what software can be in the App Store and what software can be installed on iPhones.

> US companies are extensions of the US elites (while the state is just a tool)

Incorrect. In the US, the state, the courts, corporations, elites, and everyone else all have competing and overlapping interests, and out of that democracy comes the sausage.

In China, the system is specifically rigged so that the state always trumps everyone else, when it decides it needs to.
State security is simply a facade that can be easily pulled up. For example speak to the French about this (Alston).

Maybe I'm biased somewhat as Australia has a history of being threatened by an aggressor taking over the Pacific in the past, but I don't think the situation with Xi Jinping is as simple as "national rivalry" or "a new foreign enemy".

Xi is reinstating policies that have not existed in China since the days of Mao: lifelong leadership terms, extreme cults of personality, a fostered sense of nationalistic violence, the beginnings of territorial expansion and mass incarceration and repression of an entire ethnic group.

There are very real fears that he could become the next Hitler and violently subjugate the entire Asia-Pacific region to his rule.
In a way Copenhagen has done a similar thing. The harbour used to be a terrible mess in 1995 with sewage and whatnot going in but these days the water is so clean that swimming in the harbour became a thing. Last year the Diesel harbour busses were replaced by electric ships and the seafront is a place where tons of locals hang out and enjoy the city in summer.

Maybe, just maybe, we'll be able to uncover Ladegårds Å and get rid of the terrible concrete street mess that is Åboulevard.
Isn't the problem here that things are backward?

You don't prove causation, but you can disprove it when you find absence of correlation.

Observed correlation suggests causation which allows you to make a prediction. A prediction can be tested. The prediction will either be true or false based upon whether the correlation continues to hold.

This is one of the problems with A/B tests--they often don't have causation aka "Why?" "This dialog box was rearranged and gave us 15% better conversion." Um. Okay. But "Why?" If you can't answer "Why?" you don't have causation.

"We removed needing to enter a phone number and now have 15% better conversion." "Why?" is obvious in that case.
Where I live an AirBNB was being used as a brothel. Neighbors really didn’t care for that and they appealed to the local Planning department who gave the property owner a Morton’s Fork: cease operations of the AirBNB or rezone your residential property to match the use (subject to public comment and a hostile board). That ended the matter. It’s a good action model for our modern legal framework, where property rights basically don’t exist and the law is whatever an administrator says it is.

Another option may be abolition of all commercial use of or non-private ownership of residential property in toto. Renting is illegal. Using it for your business is illegal. Apartments are illegal. Speculative ownership of housing is illegal. Housing prices implode, but you don’t have AirBNB tycoons.

I’m not serious, but “stop being greedy AirBNB or, boy, you’ll be sorry” isn’t much of a serious argument.
I'm curious where you fix the goalposts.

The GDP of the Soviet Union never exceeded that of the United States at any point.

If the GDP of China exceeds the United States in the near future (which seems quite possible), how does that fact reconcile with your analysis?

I find the government of China to be morally reprehensible. However there are plenty of cases in history in the real world where that which is morally reprehensible prevails, at least in the short term.

Who would expect to remain an "ally" in China's eyes after their usefulness was exhausted? That's beyond wishful thinking. It is ascribing a magical western "loyalty" value that simply doesn't exist in business anywhere, even in the west.

Chinese companies no doubt believe they can do everything a western company can do, and they're right, for practical purposes. What do they need help with once they have the trade secret designs, processes, etc.?

I cannot believe these western "partners" believe in a long game where they come out being anything other than a chump.
The West + Japan + S. Korea, is where almost all the money, power and GDP is. China has roughly the same as the US, but with many more people. The 'Rest of Asia Minus Japan+Korea' is big, but still poor.

There are several languages that are working on solving the composable effects problem that I am aware of:

* Pony - capabilities based language inspired by `E`. Effects are like Rust's (provided by the language, not extensible by end users): https://www.ponylang.io/

* Koka - effects are first class and higher order. `filter` is a higher order function that is "effectfully parameterized" as well as "parameterized over its types". Effects can be discharged at any level of the program and the effects "stack" is manipulable (in what appears to be a principled way) https://koka-lang.github.io/koka/doc/index.html

* Multi-core OCaml is also building parallelism on a version of effects that looks quite a lot like Koka (though I'm not familiar enough with it to say how close they are in practice).

What other ones am I missing?
Why would/should they? The short to medium term economic interests of most of the ruling/capital owning class (higher margins on production, real estate prices going up) and the plebs (cheaper products) are both tied to close cooperation. Maybe the long term interests are misaligned but in the prevailing Western capitalist system that has "won", long term costs and incentives are not really imposed on anyone - especially the capital owners/ruling class.
This reminded me to do my every-so-often re-read of them
Whether it's evil or not depends on how it's used. Suppose that the top result for some common search is poor, but the second one is better, and this is visible to most users from the search result page. Everyone clicks link #2, hardly anyone clicks #1. That is valuable feedback and the search engine developer then knows that there's something wrong with the first result, and this can be determined without keeping any information on the original user. Often this happens when some clever SEO has caused the search engine to give a high rank to some stupid site.

If the GDP of China exceeds that of the United States and keeps a higher level for more than a few years, what would that mean for your thesis? Are you predicting that cannot happen, and therefore your thesis is falsified if it does?
It's fine if China and Chinese want it this way. It just means that our posture with them should be adjusted, i.e. extracting a price for IP theft etc.
> That's not their perspective. Hard to argue effectively against someone without understanding where they are coming from.

So what? Who cares? I have no delusions that they are going to be convinced of what is wrong with wanting to invade and take over a country. Why bother trying to convince them of anything?

Country to country interactions, in the context of war and invasions, aren't really solved in the marketplace of ideas, of rousing debate, to totally prove that the other side is wrong.

Instead, such problems are solved with power.

The way to stop an invasion from china, is to put in disincentives. Arm up opposing forces, establish treaties, trade relations, and economic sanctions, such that an invasion would cause china a huge of amount of damage, if they did decide to do that.

And if they ignore that, and go through with the invasion, then you follow through on your threat, and actually cause as much damage, in terms of economics, PR, and lives as you can get away with, while reducing the same from your own side.

Disagree. Not only have Americans pointed out their disagreement with Chinese government for as long as I’m aware, one of our core foreign policy concepts was that doing commerce with China would push them to liberalize and adopt more Western values in their government.

As another commenter noted, what’s happened so far is that the quality of life has improved for so many Chinese that they seem willing to accept this system despite its problems. This may indicate American foreign policy was wrong-headed, but it’s still too early to tell. A middle class represents a large power base, and especially as second generation middle class Chinese come to adulthood, they may no longer see this model of government as acceptable. But: who knows? Nobody has a crystal ball.

There are different grades of seals for different purposes. The secretary will have the garden-variety "The company has received this shipment" chop; they will not have the "The company has agreed to this contract" chop.
I'm speaking assets here. Income is a separate issue. E.g. if you send money with a remittance app, that might be tracked to your income but it's not part of your assets since no one (in the US) knows what went on with the money on the other end. This affects stuff like eligibility for Medicaid etc.
A free market is one where the government's role is to ensure peoples' rights, enforce contracts, prevent use of force, and prevent fraud.

> How many linux books got out of date covering linux firewalling? what is the firewall cli/rules language du jour at the moment? There's one for every finger on my hand...

I'd argue that it's iptables, and has been for the last 20 years.

In Linux 1.1 (1994) there was a port of FreeBSD's ipfw. ipfw was replaced by ipchains in Linux 2.2 (1999). However, ipchains was quickly replaced by iptables in Linux 2.4 (2001). And now since Linux 3.13 (2014) iptables is slowly being replaced by nftables, but most of its use is the iptables userland being ported to use the nftables kernel interface; the nftables native userland (`nft`) only just hit 1.0.0 this month.

Other higher level "more user friendly" wrappers have come and gone; Ubuntu's ufw (which wraps iptables), RedHat's firewalld (which wraps nftables), and uh one for each finger of my hand. But at the end of the day, they're iptables/nftables under the hood, and when you want to configure things they way you would with pf, you skip those layers and go straight for iptables.

> All companies that operate in China have to be 51% domestically owned.

this is not true - there is a type of legal entity called a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE). It is only allowed for certain lines of business, of course, which wouldn't include anything of strategic importance to China.
Well, sure, we can set c and G to 1 if we want to, because it makes the math come out easier. But when we do that, we're really picking units where c and G have those values. But if we don't do that, if we stick with MKS or whatever, then c and G have values that have to be measured.

And if you do set c and G to be 1, then you have to use the measured values to know what your units are within that system.

But maybe the problem is with my use of "free". By "free" parameter, I mean one that has to be measured, that isn't determined by the theory.
Fun question? What's the difference between the ABNB customer service and google's customer service, you know, a "real" corporation with massive and established revenue?

Oh right, google has no customer service. No one to call.

What does it mean that customer service is so terrible in the disruption/replacement companies? That it's hard? Or that customer service is soooo old economy?

I fear for when all companies with semi-functioning terrible customer service are replaced with even more "disruptive" dystopian service models.

I imagine we will quickly see "popups" on ads that allow you to save 10% by buying online instead of the app store in order to cut out apples 30%.

If that happens, maybe apple would reduce their fee to try and keep more money on the app store. It will definitely be an interesting change!
