Remember that nobody was threatened or, as a result, morally offended by China until the last few years when we figured out we couldn't keep them at the bottom of the value chain forever.

How do we live in a society where we can just be aimed at a new foreign enemy and all of our free, enlightened citizens go along every time? Russia (support afghanistan), Iran (support Iraq), Iraq (support gulf emirates), Al Qaeda, Afghanistan, Iraq again, now China! It seems so normal to us, because that's all we know.

They're not perfect, we're not perfect, and both states are feeding off of national rivalry to legitimize themselves because that's what states do.
Well, there is lots of working being put in by a lot of people to fix parts of it. For example CA is in the process of passing a law to upzone large swaths of single family housing. The YIMBY movement is gaining steam. I think one fo the saddest things in politics at least in the west is this sort of defeatism where large swaths of the electorate think that things are unfixable. I think especially as technologists we should recognize that real problems exist, but also that fundamentally they are all fixable and we should try to fix them.
I sort of feel like this: correlation is not causality, but they are correlated nonetheless.

Tell that to my mother! She was an absolutely belting cook but always ended up with a caldera in her sponge cakes.

She was able to make clotted cream from first principles - she was Devonian. She also introduced pasties to several parts of West Germany in the 1970s/80s. The food traffic went both ways in Germany and I have a massive fondness for schnitzels - "Zigeuner" (gipsy, I think) and "Jager" (hunter - deffo).

Mum was also a soldier as well as dad (they were both Captains when they met in Scotland) but she was told to get out what with her being a woman and hanging out with a male Army occifer. That was back in the late 1960s. Times have changed a lot since then.

Anyway, cakes. mmmm cakes.
I think what you esssentially want is a language with a powerful effect system and substructural typing, along with regions for memory management. This is like what Rust does with ownership semantics and the borrow checker, where normal types are linear/affine, that is, they can only be used (exactly,at most) once. What would be more powerful is having some effect of GC'd function, and some effect of non-GC'd function, and you can only pass the barrier from GC to non-GC if it's a linear/affine type. But when you're in a GC function you can use whatever types you want to. So instead of being stuck with the borrow checker, you can just decide at a drop of a hat to enter GC mode to write your linked list.
I use hard drive magnets as key hooks. Keys themselves don't stick, but the keyring does and holds great. I put my business card under mine and the wife's under hers both to label and to have a way to eventually remove them from the fridge.

I'm not the one you're replying to, but I one problem I've had with Ansible directory copying is that it's terribly slow.

Using the "state" parameter for files and directories is also rather odd. You specify "state: absent" to delete, "state: directory" to create a directory. It makes sense considering the declarative nature of Ansible, but it's unfamiliar to those used to writing shell scripts.

I may check it out more later! From what it sounds like, Vale is an instance of option 2, arenas (which are the same as regions), but automatically managed--reducing their complexity compared to Rust--combined with implicit use of Rust's `Cell` (the interior-mutable type with the fewest compromises, in a single-thread setting).

Unfortunately Rust as a language pays the price for its flexibility here. By not mandating any particular memory management or interior mutability strategy, it makes even the safe cases like this (which are relatively "easy" to validate for safety) much more complex. So if your use case is in the intersection that Vala supports, I agree this can be a great point in the tradeoff space! FYI, you might want to check out old work on the MLton optimizing compiler, which also did automatic region inference to avoid garbage collection.

The strength of the other regional centers will force SF to compete for companies and also for residents via quality of life.
I think there's a certain kind of voice that's common on here who moved into SF. Got an apartment in one of the new apartments downtown and then experienced a concentrated blast of poverty which isn't representative of the majority of SF. It doesn't help that most new construction in SF has been in these parts of the city either. My point isn't that SF doesn't have huge problems, but that if you live in these parts of the city you'll be seeing a lot more of it on a daily basis than is maybe entirely realistic
It already does. There's no problem with the system, for people that understand what it is meant to describe. Rainfall isn't a part of that.

The best way to describe rainfall is by... giving the rates and cumulative amount of rainfall. Flash flood warnings exist when excessive rain causes... flash flooding.

As for direction: hurricanes are circles. Everyone knows the east eyewall is the worst part.

Idk what else you'd want to incorporate/describe that's useful. Except that people that haven't been through bad hurricanes always think what they experience must be worse than the category of the storm.

Eg: Sandy not being hurricane strength when it came ashore, so they made up the term "Superstorm Sandy" because "just" tropical storm somehow lessons their experience.

That is not true. There have been many reports concerned with China's aggressive efforts at stealing IP for at least 10 years that I'm aware of, probably more like 20.
You're optimistic if you think it will get any worse :)

See, Google's performance reviews value launches because launches create a lot of impact and growth.

On the other hand, deprecating and killing existing features clearly has little negative impact ("doesn't move the needle!"), while freeing up developers' time for other launches.

So the incentives are aligned perfectly well for the three year launch-abandon-kill cycle, which gets people promotions.

As long as "median time using the platform, in years" is not a metric that Google even looks at, you can count on things staying the same, and the graveyard[1] growing.

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

It is astonishing to me how many people have been, apparently, sleeping under a rock for decades, and are just now announcing their bitter realizations that China is not a free market open to Western companies.

Hillary Clinton did one of these announcements within the past year or so, and my eyes rolled right out of the back of my head.
>> Sorry, I meant strategic weaponry. Long-range weapons that would let Taiwan legitimately threaten e.g. Beijing.

The US has naval vessels and aircraft that can do that from the strait of Taiwan or elsewhere.

Why would the US sell such weapons to Taiwan when the US could employ them directly if needed?

In theory the US could position ground-based strategic weapons in Taiwan (Cuban missile crisis-style), but that would be too aggressive and could provoke an attack. Besides, a submarine, ship, or aircraft could employ similar weapons without being a fixed target.

What security risk?

This Mr. Wu did something bad inside China, without any evidence that he was colluding with the national and local government of China. How is that translate to security risk at US domestic?

San Francisco's geography is extremely heterogeneous (especially considering the size of the city). All of these are simultaneously true:

- yes, there's human feces and needles and tent cities in the Tenderloin/SOMA area

- Painted Ladies is an old-ass building, as is much of the residential sprawl around it

- Fishermans Wharf is a textbook tourist trap

- there's a ton of nice forest-y areas (Presidio, Glen Canyon, Stern Grove, etc)

- Sea cliff area is textbook rich person neighbourhood

- Financial district actually looks like a modern metropolis

Picking one facet and ignoring the rest is... cherrypicky.
> this might be a formal narrative, but the simple truth is that we did it because it made powerful people rich and entrenched specific factions in both parties

I don't think this is true. When these policies were first enacted upon, the revolution had just ended in China and Mao had just taken over. The population of China was large, but nothing like today, and cheap labor was plentiful all around the world. In short, there was nothing in particular that made doing business in China more lucrative than any other developing nation at the time.

The belief was that doing trade and business with the new Chinese government would encourage the developing nation to embrace western ideals... which it clearly did not.

Today, doing business in China is lucrative only because they have well over a billion people to buy products and use services... it's clearly short-term profit-driven thinking that has the likes of Apple bending over backwards to stay in the CCP's good graces, all the while the CCP steals Apple's IP, forces Apple to bend their morality, aid in censorship, unwittingly employ slave camps and more.

> I'm not American, but if anything I would think that nothing would unify the US like the threat of an external invader. I have a hard time thinking people would care about who's democrat or who's republican if a foreign nation is dropping paratroopers in your neighborhood.

This is a great point. Look at how united America was after 9/11. George W. Bush's approval rating soared. While politics are bitterly divided here, when it comes to an external threat, those divisions will still get put aside (at least for a while). Not much unites a country like a (non-civil) war.
At the end of the 20th century, the United States bestrode the world like a colossus.

Unfortunately, that is not quite correct. In truth, the US did not "win" the Cold War. The Cold War destroyed the economies of BOTH the US and the Soviets. While the Soviets were visibly haemorrhaging money in their own Afghanistan War, the US invisibly went from being the World's greatest creditor nation to being the World's biggest debtor nation in the same period. In reality, the Cold war was a stalemate, a draw. Both sides were out of cash - broke.

Because the Soviets had no other source of income, they had to go 'bankrupt' then and there, so to speak. That had the effect of causing a necessary economic restructuring during and after the difficult Yeltsin years, but eventually bringing the Russian (by now) economy into the black again.

On the other hand, the US after the Cold War had the misfortune of being able to live life much as it had before by using the lucky circumstance of having the 'credit card' of owning the World's Reserve Currency. The US didn't appear to require economic restructuring because it was still able to pay for stuff, but all the while, that 'credit card' allowed the US's debts to continually increase.

A war against Iraq? "Put it on the card."
A war against Afghanistan? "Put it on the card."
Cheap 70-inch TVs in WalMart? "Put it on the card."

Today in 2021, that debt has reached 30 trillion, an absolutely impossible task to be able to restructure away. The US's only prospect now is bankruptcy and hardship.

Thirty years after the Cold War, Russia is doing well economically, with a lot of cash reserves. The US, not so much.

If we were to re-ask the question "Who won the Cold War" today in 2021, the answer must be 'The Soviets'.

If one place is walking distance and will price-match, it doesn't make sense to even start the car let alone drive elsewhere.

In a different vein, when I was younger my mom price-matched a TV at Best Buy against a lower price at the Future Shop across the street, it was about $50 on a $1100 unit. We went to Best Buy first, found the TV we liked, then went across the road to see if there were any better/cheaper options. We ended up going back to Best Buy because the sales people actually seemed to give a damn about their job and the customer, and the fact they were not paid commission (unlike Future Shop), all combined with the price matching made it the more appealing decision. IIRC the BB extended warranty was a better deal.
None of which changes the fact that there is a war. Not only are the two nations still involved on opposite sides of the Korean War, which has never concluded, but China routinely scrambled fighters and bombers to harass U.S. ships in international waters.

What if the next bug has nothing to do with the message queue? What if your last fix to improve the TPS ends up being sufficient headroom that the next problem never triggers a high rate? What if your errors per minute is only aggregating errors for the services you last had high error rates on?

The point: all those measures and the dashboard created to monitor them were likely put in place because of whatever prior bug or outage was traced to not knowing those metrics. But the next problem might be something else, for which the metrics are not collected, aggregated, or displayed. Now you've got a dashboard with lots of information, but it's not showing any problems, and it's not providing any insights into why your customers are complaining and all the product people are in fire drill mode.

This takes PG’s advice “do things that don’t scale” to an extreme IMO.

I’m not saying this development is good, but didn’t ARM UK / SoftBank lose control of ARM China 3 years ago when they sold 51% of it and became a minority shareholder? Not being in control comes along with the minority shareholder status. The fact that ARM China CEO refused to step down is kind of irrelevant, the remaining 51% shareholders could just replace the board with whomever and install whomever they want as CEO. While this would require a unanimous vote by the other shareholders, I think it is just a technicality that this hasn’t already happened.

Still, you have to wonder if ARM China is still sending SoftBank 49% of the profits! Or if they’re just like “what profits”. This whole saga with the corporate seals and everything is hilarious. Actually giving the JV access to the RTL (== keys to the kingdom) has to be the dumbest move ever.

Also, goes without saying that none of this happens without the implicit consent of the CPC.

do you have some concrete examples? i have used pf since it was turned on in openbsd (i think around 2001ish) for simple rulesets, and there were certainly some changes that needed config file changes but i don't remember anything hugely painful, actually the changes were for the better.

When they happened, they were always well documented in the "how to upgrade" document and blindly upgrading without reading that is not good practice in any OS, not just openbsd... Then it's just a question of automating it, and there are ways to roll back pf rules with simple scripting...

Regarding the book, they are bound to go out of date, but I think their basic premise stays useful over time: it explains the basic terminology, notions, etc and gives some ideas about how to solve problems with the syntax at the time of writing. The man page can fill in the rest (which is excellent quality).

Agreed. There's an area of my city that I only recently visited for the first time, but have heard is quite wealthy.

It means that the average home spans half of an entire block, costs $10-30m dollars, and these people park their cars (if they're lazy) in a space that's twice the size of my home.

> why China is able to close its market to foreign companies?

It is not though, many foreign companies do business in China. Even Facebook and Google retain part of their Ad business.

> Same thing for trade sanctions on Iran which impacted European companies but not China (if I'm not wrong). Seems they don't play by the same rules as anybody else.

First, EU doesn't like the idea that US sanctioned their companies because of Iran oil, that's why they rolled out some law that protect against it recently. Second, it's just US (and part of other western countries' as they have to eat it) rule, regarding the Iran oil example. China is not playing by that rule simply because so far there is not enough push from US.
