Did you forget development in your leave?

My wife is a fashion designer, and development is a huge component. She begins developing garments like 1.5 years ahead of delivery.

The steps are generally: Choose and order fabric, design a garment, have a patternmaker make a pattern, have cutter cut the fabric for a sample, have a sewer create a sample, fit it on a fit model, adjust pattern, cut, sew, fit, adjust, cut, sew, fit, wash and dye the fabric to understand shrinkage, have a grader create the size grading, send pattern and sew-by sample to factory, have them make a sample, fit, adjust pattern, and have them make another sample, fit (this can repeat a few more times until the factory gets it right).

Chinese factories “bury” the cost of development when providing prices. Suffice to say that creating samples and shipping sample garments back to the US in order to check that the factory is making it to spec (multiple times) can extend development times many more months and greatly increase costs (keep in mind you are paying US designer salaries during this extended dev). Money can eventually be saved depending on the scale of your business. At least with garments, Chinese production is not a guaranteed money saver, though from my observation the overall logistics of garment making are not well-understood by business owners so they just shove it all overseas without fully understanding what they’re getting into.
I hope they jack up the vaccine prices really high and then use the money to cure every other disease.

MAD can still be effective if you say any non conventional attack by any actor would trigger it. That said MAD in this case isn’t viable due to the inequality in geographic size and population. A single warhead even a small one would cripple Israel complete whilst Iran can take multiple warheads and survive.

A 50 kiloton warhead detonated over Tel Aviv would reduce Israel’s economy to basically nothing.

> I bet most people won't know what is going on even if they notice the eyeglasses have an LED that's on. It's not like an LED is a universal signal for "your privacy is cancelled now".

On decoy surveillance cameras they'll usually have a blinking or solid LED on them because the trope of "blinking red LED means it's recording" is so widespread. That's been used in film, self checkouts, body cameras, surveillance systems, etc. I don't know what indication would be more likely to signal a recording in progress short of a loudspeaker screaming "YOU ARE BEING RECORDED RIGHT NOW".

I think it's far more likely that the general public will be unaware of the existing ways they are being surveilled.
> but the performance profiles & characteristics that we must know about in order to make a choice on which tool to use. And it shouldn't be that each user has to figure it out on their own, dig into PR's or whatever.

That's an interesting take – I like the idea of a catalog of standard tasks with implementations in several languages as well as their performance characteristics. I suppose Rosetta Code gets the ball rolling with this, but it's missing some performance metrics. It reminds me of Ben Hoyt's piece[1] on counting unique words in the KJV Bible in different languages.

I don't want to put words in the mouth of who you are responding to, but here would be my assumption. PPC is probably in a better position for mass distribution in the short term. Where as RISC-V still has some time to go before we can get there at modern performance in a package that goes in consumer hardware. Also, just have more architectures means more possibilities of design decisions and more choice, which is always good.

That's a fine opinion, but I and others in Berlin would also prefer not having to have high rises just because there are speculators. The issue in Berlin is not really lack of units, this is not San Francisco. The problem here is purely the rampant speculation.

I don't follow the same economical dogmas you do. In my opinion it's not about supply or demand, but purely about a certain group of investors fucking up everyone lives. I'd prefer to attack this problem head-on rather than having bandaids that involve destroying Tempelhofer Feld or removing the Kleingarten, like other people suggested.
If you’re in high tech (FAANG) the salaries have been going up so quickly year by year since 2000 that staying in one company for more than a few years is often irrational if you’re trying to maximize salary. Companies will gladly pay you an extra 50-100k a year just to steal you from a FAANG.

Your points make total sense though. Companies lose out by not having employees who have built up institutional knowledge, but in today’s market most of the people who companies want the most are likely to leave for greener pastures in 2 years.

I've mainly had good experiences recently, but I'm in Australia. I try to only buy from the stores that are associated with the Prime offering, as I figured it'll help filter bad things?

My items have included a number of different signal cables, coffee bean storage canister, knife sharpener, microfibre cloths - all top notch quality.

I had one shipment get lost in the AusPost system which was frustrating (the tracking was active, but it ended up in a truly weird place), but received a refund as soon as I escalated it.

And I do recall needing to vet the knife sharpener as there were a bunch of fakes; the one I ended up with was top notch.

I wonder if the Australian branch performs some vetting, or if I've just been lucky.
No kidding; I have a couple AUKEY dashcams, one of the removed brands.

>This did not go over particularly well with the large group of biologists in the room, most of whom had built their careers conducting research on worms, flies, mice and rats

Its really offensive to me that many in the research community seem to prioritize publication count and reputation over meaningful research. This is antithetical to the practice science, and stymies progress by forcing entire fields into stagnation and dead ends. How long have we been chasing the amyloid plaque hypothesis, for example?

Perhaps my opinion would be different if my livelihood depended on my paper count, but if that's the case then maybe it's time for a realignment of incentives in academia, not to imply that such a cultural shift would be trivial...
I think you mean 'deflation' or 'appreciation' in your final comments. It is harmful, yes.

No objections, just wanted to point out the confusion.
I think you're assuming tone that isn't there. Look at it again, it's a factual statement. Nothing angry or accusational. As you say, a little empathy goes a long way. Try to interpret tone on the internet in a charitable manner, because you're just guessing at it most of the time.
If that were true, it would be trivial to trace back the traffic to the origin of the attack since you would see 40Gbps incoming at the target, one set of intermediaries, and 40Gbps to a single source (which is also unlikely given 40Gbps uplinks are quite a big monthly expense). They might be using the Tor network (or creating a makeshift proxy network), but it would seemingly be a waste of bandwidth on the target routers. The regular C&C approach seems more practical since it can make use of available bandwidth and leaves less of a trail.

I think you're still missing the point. Let's say I run John Doe's chop shop. I have purchased my own /24 (192.168.1.0/24). I want redundant connectivity so I have service from Comcast and qwest. I use bgp to decide every I'm routing my IP through Comcast or qwest at any given moment so they both need to allow traffic from that IP space even though it may not be from me. X100000. So it's easier to just not filter at all.

Ask HN: What's with manufacturers selling laptops with BOTH SSD and HDD
Modern P2P networks already prefer closer peers. This also happens naturally because closer peers generally have fewer bottlenecks between them, so if you connect to many random peers, the ones that are e.g. on your LAN will intrinsically end up doing most of the sending.

This is often more efficient than a CDN because a CDN won't have a box on your LAN even if there are multiple peers there.

And a CDN is only efficient to begin with if there are already multiple peers on the same ISP's network. If you're the only person on the ISP's network who wants some particular content then it has to come over a transit link just for you anyway. If you're not, you can get it from the other close peer(s) in a P2P network and not use the transit link.
> it seems obvious that the result is rational from a biological perspective

Only if you believe in the relatively modern human concept of two monogamous people being the only parents of a child.

Biologically speaking, a woman wants the sperm which will provide her the most survivable and resilient child, plus any number of other adults around who will help care for and protect that child.

This idea of a woman being choosy is a very new concept. You don't have to go back far in time at all to see where women had no choice at all (or look in some current cultures).

But if you go back further, or you go to places less touched by modern conventions, you find men and women of groups being generally sexual with each other, and being responsible for all the children in their group. This appears to be how humans survived and flourished for most of human history; or at least, it fits the existing evidence much better than the idea of a monogomous (and very 1:1 protective) couple.

Sure, if a woman knows she is only ever allowed to have one partner (and she's not allowed to be an equal participant in the world where income or resources are earned), she will choose the man more likely to guarantee that the basic survival needs are met or exceeded as much as possible. But she will still biologically seek the strongest, fittest, most genetically compatible and complementary man she can have sex with. From a modern human survival standpoint, this is the path of success.

> Apart from that, I find it strange that people are so brazen with the whole "rewrite stuff in Rust" agenda.

They used to, but these days they calmed down a lot, and most actively fight against the RIIR (Rewrite It In Rust) meme. I think part of it is because lots of people were exposed to low-level programming through Rust. I know that when I first started working with legacy/old code, I had the urge to rewrite everything. It took me some time to gain respect and trust in the code that was already running. On the other hand, sometimes my insights as a newcomer were valuable. It's a balance you have to strike between the new and the old, as with all things. Young people have the energy and new ideas, old people have the experience and stability. Both are needed. They'll sometimes clash against each other, but with time everyone will gain respect for the other party. I feel like it's what happened with the Rust community. These days it's less "rewrite everything in Rust!" and more "Rust is an option here. Does it makes sense? What are the alternatives?". The language is not even 10 years old at this point. Same thing for the community. They've already matured a lot.

600 Chinese brands on Amazon… so that’s got to be at least six sellers, right?

Given how hard it is, at least for a customer, to match any kind of real-world entity to a XINKDS or MOLYPOW, and how many new vaguely pronounceable permutations of letters show up as new “brands” every month, this actually seems like a low number.
Just buy them from Aliexpress. All those noname Chinese products on Amazon are available on Aliexpress for somewhere between a significant discount and a fraction of the price. Buying Chinese electronics on Amazon is a complete ripoff.
Can't relate to the comments here. I usually just go with the "Amazon Choice" badge when there are options and it's fine.
AWS is my favorite VPN in the few cases I have had to use one. Rent the cheapest instance in the region you want, then SSH tunnel your connection. Very simple and quick. Services never blacklist AWS IPs, in fact in many cases they have extra rules to be more permissive because their infrastructure runs on AWS.
Not sure why I am eating the down arrows but I'd like to specify: I just tested on a few projects of mine and the binary size reduction is definitely more aggressive and better-looking compared to a year ago. Very happy with the gains! I am leaving my original comment above anyway since there's IMO still some room for improvement.

For comparison, without LTO and stripping I've had a fairly small hobby project easily compile to ~3MB and with them it's now ~800KB which is nearly 400% improvement. Nice.
I’ve spent way too much time trying to perfect this technique and the best solution (until TS has nominal types, which I think they’re looking at for 4.5) is branding, with a private declared class field that’s optional and always never. Eg

declare class _MySpecialPrimitive {
private mySpecialPrimitive?: never;
}

type MySpecialPrimitive = number & _ MySpecialPrimitive;

Combined with type guards (which you can conditionally execute at runtime), you can narrow overly broad structural types safely, eg:

const isMySpecialPrimitive(val: unknown): val is MySpecialPrimitive => /* anything that produces a boolean */

(And you can use assert guards in a similar way, but I find they make it easier to treat them as a noop)

Genuinely curious: would you mind confirming that the seller of those items was Amazon (your order details should mention the seller)? I've purchased Samsung microSD cards nine times, and various flash drives also nine times over the past decade and all have been genuine. Small sample size, I know, but hardly a Russian roulette from my experience!
It kind of makes sense to me. I would assume it's because you put your OS and applications on the SSD for faster load and then to preserve the integrity of the SSDs write limits, store working files on the HDD.
> I want a Date, a Duration, and clear semantics about how they interact with each other and with time zones.

I think at this stage the only libraries I've seen to manage this clearly are the ones that cleanly seperate the concept of "LocalDate[Time]" from "ZonedDateTime" (which is different to OffsetDateTime, which is only useful when backwards looking because offsets are subject to change in future, and so you should probably just use a Zoned variant). While people might appreciate the simplicity of a single DateTime class, it just leads to unclear handling in application code of where the conversions happening and confusion as to what's actually going on with time zones.
Of course. My problem with parent's comment is, that the solution for running unsafe C code with high risk of buffer overflows is to put it in a sandbox. That's not safety it just changes the attack vector.

To be fair I've received those 'give a review' cards on some things I've bought from Amazon before.

Out of curiosity I went along with the game, knowing it was probably a scam, and whilst still giving honest reviews because the products were actually good, to be fair to them they actually paid out very promptly with an Amazon gift card voucher code. Products basically paid for themselves.

My Dad brought the 994A home while I was in elementary school. He later became the chair of the Chicago TI Users group for a while. I learned to program on Extended Basic, made a couple of extremely primitive games. I remember dictating game code from magazines while my Dad typed them in, and also reading and analyzing other people's code from shareware text adventures like Cake and Kidnapped. We had the expansion unit with memory and the floppy drive - the fan on that thing used to roar! Played hours of SPAD, Parsec, Scott Adams adventures, and bunches of Infocom games. This brings back lots of good memories for me.
chrono is the defacto standard. As with all good modern datetime libs (see also Noda Time, the new java.time), it takes liberal inspiration from Joda Time, which IMO has pretty much set the template for a robust datetime library.

Had a low star review pulled the same way recently. In a pique, I went in and deleted all my reviews. If AMZN isn't interested in preserving honest, critical reviews I'm not going to lend my name to legitimating them. Best Buy, B&H, Sweetwater are reliable sources of quality products. EBay will even do in a pinch, although ordering from them always seems a bit like a game of roulette. The paid ad scam corps have almost totally destroyed my reliance on reviews, as the insanely overhyped copy coming out of the Middle Kingdom has wrecked my trust in online product descriptions. Good work guys, you killed the goose: much luck staying afloat as the majority of shoppers are getting wise to you.

The message it sends is “you’re so incapable that we need to hire another person just to make up for your deficiencies”.

The difference is that whilst you're paying the 'drop-shipping fee' you get the product within days (next-day delivery in the UK on Amazon) rather than waiting for the item to make its way from China which can be flaky at the best of times.
