I stopped trusting them when they started silently hiding SMR in existing CMR SKUs and it only took massive backlash and public calling out for them to start selling "red" and "red plus" HDs. Blatantly lied about it while people have raid arrays failing and unable to rebuild, etc.

I would say that the U.S. is an aggressor in the region, also, with deployed military forces and its own agenda.

I agree about external enemies. I think that both China and the U.S. are playing that dangerous game.

I also agree that the Chinese communist party will come under more pressure domestically. besides the things you mentioned are also some tough demographic changes coming up.

I also assume that the communist party in China doesn't want WWIII.

The article makes many valid points but..why is that Airbnb's problem? Why not city, state, and local governments whose jobs it is to resolve the very issues the article raises? That logic is not one that I am able to follow, other than it is a big, easy name with money.
Depends on income.
Yeah, i found that big tech companies have absolutely zero issues with letting you postpone the interview by however many weeks or months you want.

The only downside is that if you were planning to interview for a specific team, they might have no more spots by that time. But every time it came up, the recruiters assured me it wont be an issue and that there will be a team for me, even if it wasn’t that specific one. And for those where you just apply for a general position and get team-matched later (like in most cases with google or fb), this wont even come up at any point.

In fact, the recruiters themselves mentioned to me many times (when i entered those interview processes) to take my time with preparing and schedule for whenever i feel comfortable, explicitly stating not to rush, because they want to see you perform at your best, not to see how quickly you can cram the material. And they didnt bluff or just tried to be nice. Same with rescheduling, unless you do it like the night before (which would still be fine, but imo it is inconsiderate to the recruiter, barring some emergency or unexpected situations).
> the US ignored European (mostly British) intellectual property when they were developing and now they produce more innovation than any European country.

There's this common trope, but there's two parts to IP; infringement and enforcement.

The British didn't enforce their patents. They could have, but they didn't.

from EET China, this image look interesting. It look like ARM China plan to add additional features into ARM or is it to build different chip on top of ARM?

Question about ARM China's exclusive rights for the China market:

1. I assumed ARM China can only sell their IPs to their Chinese customers. what about the add-on? the article say they going to develop its own IPs. Can they sell those outside of China?

2. Can a product made in China use ARM China's IPs then sell it outside of China?

3. How can ARM China build its own IPs if they are based on top of ARM UK's IPs?
The last paragraph really got me thinking about regression.

As a disciplined software engineer, I aspire to have each and every user facing bug captured first as an automated test. This helps form trust in the software. Ideally the users themselves can choose to write the tests and submit them for me.

This is akin to metrics. I completely agree, system-KPI metrics should be relevant and short. But there's nothing stopping you from collecting an archive of previous data experiment formulas.
Seagate. They have a bad reputation for reliability, but my experience is that it is overblown. Keep proper backups and use the warranty if it fails within that period. If it fails outside of it chances are there are even denser drives for less money on the market anyway.

Meanwhile, they're cheap and Seagate never pulled that SMR-in-NAS-disks shit that WD and a few others did.
Interesting, do you mean no link rot in that the URC at least gives you the metadata for what was there originally instead of showing a 404 error, even though the content itself is no longer there? Or do you also imagine archiving the page and/or a centralised index?

The non-CYMK colours also reminds me of flowers. If you look at photos of flowers, or just look normally, you'll see solid/uniform colour.

Amazing. Kip Thorne's simulation for the movie Interstellar took "a year of work by 30 people and thousands of computers." Of course, that was also an animated simulation with a high level of visual detail.

While I get your overall point, I'd hardly consider pulse-width modulation as "basic electronics." IIRC, I first encountered it in a senior-year EE Communications Theory class as a subset of Duty-Cycle Modulation. And I have to assume when you say "how a servo worked" that you don't mean how to analyze a servomechanism or feedback control system (Bode plots & root locus, anyone?), but how to control an R/C servo.

Sure, it's common for hobbyists using R/C servos to know the term these days, but I can't really consider that universal knowledge. I'd be pretty impressed if a CS interview candidate even knew what an RC servo was.

I remember when Authy refused to delete my account, prior to their acquisition, despite promising to do so upon request in their terms of service. I wasn't the only one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9100525

There are plenty of free and open source TOTP authenticators (that don't require you to provide your phone number), and I don't see a good reason to use Authy over them.
Vancouver taxes owners that have unoccupied units, and foreign buyers, the owner doesn't need to live in the place. I fully agree with the article. Having seennthe inside of buildings that allow AirBnBs, and the tire tracks leading up to the door with a keypad. I spoke to one person who was able to identify the Airbnb units based on the noise levels on adjacent floors. It's fine to incentivise owner's renting their place long term, or an extra room, but not buying up places to rent on AirBnB. Real bed and breakfasts don't even do that.
You are confused (though your username is mathgenius haha). The guy in the article is exactly doing that. He is the black market for Lebanese pound / USD (in this case USDT).

Obviously, he'll need to run a full circle (back from Lebanese pound to USD) to refuel his reserves. In some countries where I have seen this, this is usually done through companies which have some license to buy USD at the government exchange rate to import stuff. Stuff is imported from offshore companies run by these same guys who will sell this product at some crazy markup (usually 100%) and then this profit is dumped through guys like in the article. Rinse and repeat.
Ah. To clarify I meant that it was my impression that most people that pick one of those dbs pick it because they are easy to use.
I don't think there should have been a reason for any of these discoveries to be mind-boggling. It's the premise that we knew anything before we knew, e.g. religious indoctrination that made it so. Would the confirmation of aliens be mind-boggling today? For some yes, why?

But on the sheer vastness of what we didn't know, it seems like that's shrinking in relevance. There are of course dark areas, black holes, quantum gravity, and so on, but they are farther and farther at the edges of scale. Not as world-changing as discovering the second island after your own, or a continent, planet, or solar system. Each one has less practical impact.
words often do not retain their original meaning. No modern state practices declaring people outlaws therefore if the word outlaw retained its original meaning the only reason we would have to use it would be in history books as an antiquated term, but it is used quite often.

Thus outlaw has new meanings, the most common one is criminal, but some people seem to go with a meaning very like that of Tom Robbins, from Still Life with Woodpecker:

"The difference between a criminal and an outlaw is that while criminals frequently are victims, outlaws never are. Indeed, the first step toward becoming a true outlaw is the refusal to be victimized. All people who live subject to other people's laws are victims. People who break laws out of greed, frustration, or vengeance are victims. People who overturn laws in order to replace them with their own laws are victims. ( I am speaking here of revolutionaries.) We outlaws, however, live beyond the law. We don't merely live beyond the letter of the law-many businessmen, most politicians, and all cops do that-we live beyond the spirit of the law. In a sense, then, we live beyond society. Have we a common goal, that goal is to turn the tables on the 'nature' of society. When we succeed, we raise the exhilaration content of the universe. We even raise it a little bit when we fail."

I personally hate that usage, because I knew a guy who would go around with a self satisfied smirk declaring that he was an outlaw because he sold a bit of weed and believed in freedom whereas other people who were doing drugs were just criminals. I expect he probably got busted and ratted out all his friends, because I have a low opinion of outlaws I guess.
Most of the 4.2MB of data is cacheable; only ~128KB gets re-downloaded on subsequent visits (about 100KB of which has to do with Google recaptcha). With compression, what actually gets downloaded on subsequent vists is on the order of ~60KB.

That being said, I agree that the web is bloated and needs to go on a diet. We just need to be careful on where to spend our energy for optimization (caches are great and we should rely on them).

Looks nice! I noticed that at the bottom of the page there is an e-mail sign up box that says:
"Don't See Your Favorite Place? Know when we release new maps."
Now I know e-mail sign up forms usually come canned in a bit of javascript, but it sure seems like it would help if people signing up could also include a place they would like to see. I'm not in the market for this kind of thing but I was hoping they would have the San Francisco Bay Area on there. Santa Cruz and the Monterey Bay would be cool too. Definitely want the bathymetry on those ones. I thought the bathymetry was a nice touch.
1. I don't think you understand what "ubiquitous" means. Was Excel present at all? Yes? Well, there you go.

2. There's no "maybe" about Excel's accessible power. You have a bias to coding, which is predictable here, but "just learn to code" is not the answer for most people who just want to ask questions of the dataset. Excel does this for them. So yes, if you need powerful tools, spreadsheets absolutely ARE VERY OFTEN THE SOLUTION.

3. The power available to someone who learned to code at 12 is one thing, but that power is fundamentally alien and totally unapproachable to the average MBA in finance. And consequently it's entirely irrelevant. OTOH, Excel with its host of data science add-ins is HIGHLY available and will allow the user to get answers without having to learn to code. This is power.

My comment re: "as you sneeringly suggest" was 100% directed at pknomad, who snarked that the only people using something as tragically unhip as spreadsheets were in the midwest -- i.e., out of step with the mainstream and tied to ways of the past.

I stand by that comment without reservation, but it wasn't directed at YOU given that it was a reply to someone else.

We've staffed our campuses and laboratories with these people because there's nothing university administrators like more than cheap labour. The Chinese Communist Party has agents inside western countries who can get to these people, to say nothing of what they can do to these people's families back in mainland China.

London has many "vanished" rivers, the most famous of which is the Fleet.

In earlier times it was nice enough that a royal palace was built on its banks, but by the Restoration it had become what Neal Stephenson's _Baroque Cycle_ described as a "river of shit" (the palace had been converted into a prison by then, too).

If that is a problem in your community then have you considered running for office? Ralph Nader's Raiders is a historical example of what could happen if people stood for candidacy, regardless of the party in power. AOC showed that it can be done if one is willing to try.
> I wouldn't be that surprised to hear that Chicago was unable to clear snow from a 100-year snow event because the funds were mismanaged or something similar. That sounds entirely within character.

Former Mayor Michael Bilandic famously lost reelection in 1979 after botching snow removal following the large blizzard of that same year. Ever since, snow removal has been one of the city government's core competencies; even the quite intense Groundhog Day blizzard of 2011 was well-handled, though it managed to shut down LSD for a bit. There's plenty of mismanagement and corruption in city government to go around (the police department is famously corrupt and incompetent and shows no signs of turning that around), but snow removal is one thing that can generally be counted on here.
> In the games, you roll a die and have small change to receive a big payout.

This is untrue of most games with IAP. You are usually buying in-game items to speed up your progression through the game, or to give you some advantage.

In practice, I imagine the brain mechanics are much the same as a slot machine though. I once saw a senior couple sitting at McDonald's next to each other, both on an iPad, slowly tapping away at the screen of what looked like a Clash of Clans/other town builder game. The dead look on their faces as they tapped away reminded me of addicts at slot machines. While the gambling aspect isn't the same, the dopamine hits I'd say are largely identical.

The question is if simultaneous operations really speed up your application.

It is not as if a 4-core machine can do 4 times the DB work if you only allow it.

Memory access, disk access .. they all have their specific behaviour when you try to do things simultaneously. In the worst case, things will just get serialized on a lower level, even if multiple CPU cores send and/or request data simultaneously.

A reason for skepticism about this piece: the author includes the claim that the average house will cost $10 million dollars in 50 years. The source of the prediction is another medium piece he wrote.

Personally, I think that is a hilariously awful prediction with effectively zero chance of coming true and I would love to take the other side of a bet about it.

A little skepticism of his other claims is warranted.
Right!

I think in the future we might see either community greenhouses, more local farming, and/or more suburban gardens and even greenhouses (HOAs permitting).

The thing is that the current model is basically export water in the form of crops from California because as you said it's much cheaper, but that low cost comes at the expense of water and the environment, a low cost to which Californian farmers are probably not bearing and certainly society in general isn't. Really we're exporting water from a arid locations to places like the Great Lakes. That's not to include transportation costs via cheap oil/energy.

It's just not sustainable long-term.

If you're looking for a turning point, it was fall of 2001 with the 9/11 attacks and China's accession to the WTO. The USA became distracted and the 00s were the time when China's economy grew like gangbusters.
> I'm not so sure the country could hold together in the event of an attack

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.

> There's a reasonable chance that Americans will use the opportunity to destroy the government from within.

I seriously doubt it. Even the most fervent, gun-loving, militant libertarians realize that sabotaging your own government during a war is not in your self interest.

> I support Taiwanese independence, but I'm not sure I support it with my life.

If the US declares war, it doesn't really matter. It's not like the US involvement in WW2 or Vietnam was put to a referendum, if your country is at war, you are at war, unless you have enough money to flee the country: but realistically a war between China in the US would be a world war, or at the very least (best case) a Nato - China war, which is why it's _extremely_ unlikely to happen. Neither the US nor China has anything to gain from an all out war. And even if China is a formidable opponent, it would certainly tank their entire economy.

I'm using ansible for some years already. The biggest game changer for me was ansible molecule [0].

I integrated it to the repo, where I store my code and it just runs all the test cases for my code. It saved me a bunch of hours of investigation in test environments before I even released the code. Highly recommend to try it even for a small project.

Apart of that play with ansible strategies if you have more than one server to apply the role. It really might save you some minutes of a runtime.

It's not. In general this sort of opinion seems to very much be in the current zeitgeist. Amazon should just be nicer and stop exploiting workers! AirBnB should solve the housing issues in major cities for them! Etc etc.

It just... doesn't make sense. On some level I think people want to think this way because it avoids blaming ourselves for failing to elect representatives and pass legislature that would've prevented these problems. Or even do that now. That's hard, though! It'd be so much easier if companies just "Did the right thing™".

Of course, they won't, they never have, and we should never expect they will. Organizations will almost always seek to do whatever is best for them, everyone else be damned, and we as a society need to plan for that. Turns out it's just not so easy.

It's too easy to point the finger at some specific entity rather than our structural issues. Pet peeve of mine.
