> Basically, you are saying American trained doctors only then, as American doctors are much better trained.

Considering how much healthcare costs in the US and the quality of care received [1], I assert American doctors are not better trained, simply that they are more expensive and there are less of them per capita than other OECD countries [2] [3] [4]. I'm suggesting bypassing the undersized US doctor development pipeline until it is fully funded to produce enough doctors to meet demand and drive down costs.

In the report, the US “ranked last overall among 11 industrialized countries on measures of health system quality, efficiency, access to care, equity and healthy lives.” Significantly, the US was noted to have the highest costs while also displaying the lowest performance.")

It's enlightening when you see all the crap that all the devices on your network are doing. You can take things a step further and isolate IOT devices on isolated subnets, with additional firewall/security rules to create a choke point for all traffic.

It's not forgotten, just conveniently ignored.

It was with a balled up fist, covered up in a velvet glove that I described the phenomenon as "forgotten"

> - China has a much larger pool of labor. It has literally hundreds of millions of potential migrants who can move from rural areas to urban areas to work in factories. This is multiples of Vietnam's entire population.

Believe me, you don't want to hire the people left there in villages, even if they are young, and moderately educated. But in its majority, the labour that still drips from inland China is of lower quality kind. Anguished, tired, middle-aged men who didn't manage to move to the coastal cities during the heydays.

> - It was comparatively easy for China to develop the Pearl River Delta, which was once primarily agricultural, and turn it into one of the world's most powerful industrial regions because it can produce food in other parts of the country. Vietnam, which is much smaller, doesn't have that luxury with the Mekong Delta. So there's a land limitation in Vietnam.

Vietnam makes quite a lot of food, more than China by acreage by far. China is surprisingly agriculturally unproductive country. Take a look on Bangladesh, it has turned a food exporter, despite the truly microscopic size of arable land.

It allows you to define a GUI / DOM specification, with transparently embedded serverside commands that do things like "query the database for the list of users who meet criteria X." No annotation or other special action required.

The runtime figures out an efficient and reactive way of parceling out work to the server as needed, and refreshing it only when necessary.

There are also countries and industries where a photo is anywhere from expected to required.

I had a lawyer friend who said that photos were expected on resumes and websites, something she hated despite the fact that she felt she benefited from it. Part of it is that firms and clients want to see a professional image, but yeah, it also brings in all the usual gender/age/ethnic biases.

To answer "why wouldn't they play that card" - plenty of women know their looks/gender might get them in the door when it wouldn't otherwise, and feel like imposters even if they are highly qualified and a great match for the position.

They may want to work at the kind of company that hires them because of their accomplishments, not one that says "oh, we need more women." One reason: a company that hired them because they were a woman may have done so just to fill a quota and there's no genuine interest in them succeeding and advancing...whereas another employer might see their talent and work to help them succeed. Or a company that hires just to fill quotas might put women in positions they aren't actually qualified for. Etc.

The problem with this "moral" expectation you want to put Facebook or any company in a social space under is that it's self-contradictory and hypocritical. I don't know any reasonable person who would want the phone company, a very centralized system, to play the role of morality police over who can use the telephone and who can't. This "Centralization = ownership of everyone's actions" view just imposes the burden of a mass of cultural expectations on companies that never agreed to any of it.
The Space Shuttle wasn't reusable in any meaningful sense. It required a complete overhaul after every mission, including replacement of many damaged ceramic heat shield tiles. And it only flew at hypersonic speeds for a few minutes during re-entry.

It's kind of strange that leftism is very concerned about future people when it comes to the environment but the polar opposite in other areas like technology and social stability where they favor individuals alive today over long term benefits to the whole society. For example worker's rights ahead of business growth or individual freedoms ahead of robust social structure.

I'm talking about filesystem level support, not block level support. FDE is block level and of course will work on any supported filesystem including btrfs.

What btrfs doesn't do is support encryption inside the filesystem a la fscrypt - where we can encrypt specific directories - or ZFS encryption, where we can encrypt specific filesystems inside a pool.

If I understand btrfs right, supporting encryption/verification on subvolume or directory levels would allow splitting the system so only part of it is encrypted/verified (so we get Poettering's performance gains), while avoiding space issues between the subvolumes.

Also, using only one password is easy on fscrypt style systems, though this may not suit everyone's threat model.
Funny way to ask the question, which lets me know that it's at least still a question :)

What I believe doesn't matter of course, and I get that it's probably happening whether I like it or not; but this is the worst rollout of anything I've ever seen in the Linux world, and to me just violates the heck out of at least one of "the whole points" of using Linux.

And sure, spend the rest of your time researching diagram theory, but try to be honest about why you do it.
This is the biggest selling point of EVs for me. Driving an EV vs an ICE car is like the difference between streaming a movie vs dealing with a VHS tape.

The website really glosses over the part where they turn alcohols into gasoline. Is this an existing technology that is already available? I dont know as I'm not really plugged into energy generation technology.

I would reply that your numbers are way off, since in an economy where by far the biggest borrowers are state owned enteprises, then you must count the debt of these enterprises as government debt even though according to NIPA data as cited it is considered private debt.

Here we are talking about all the largest borrowers in China being government owned: China Mobile, ICBC, China Railway, China National Petroleum, SAIC Motor, Sinopec Group, etc.

See https://fortune.com/2015/07/22/china-global-500-government-o...

Given the great difficulty truly privately owned businesses face in obtaining credit, and how most of them need to go to the shadow financial system, the bulk of private debt doesn't even show up in these measures, and the bulk of what is officially considered private debt should be counted as public debt.

This creates all sorts of problems for China because if there is a banking crisis, then the banks, which are government owned, are lending money to state owned enterprises that are not allowed to fail. This is why you get the zombie bank problem in China - it's different than the situation in Japan. In Japan, the problem was real estate zombie loans, but in China the problem is zombie loans to politically connected state monopolies as well as individual real estate. China can perhaps say "screw the households" but it can't say "screw Sinopec".
1.5B valuation and yet their UX is total shit and basically unusable.
The problem with your suggestions is that the program would still need to be updated to support those new libraries. And new mice and touchscreens have gotten new hardware features, which require changes in the software to support them. Even something as simple as upping the resolution of the device can require an API break to widen the data type. Networking is also not something that can just be tacked on by the OS, if you want a decent experience then it needs to be built into the program.

Unicode is required if you want to have decent support for non-English text, for a really basic example you might want to try writing an ASCII document that includes multiple languages in it and see how it doesn't really work at all.

I'm not sure what you mean rich copy and paste is a security nightmare, programs that don't handle a complex data type will just ignore that type. A text editor will commonly just negotiate the type down to "text/plain" or equivalent.

On most linux distros the initrd is dynamically generated, and depends on the specific hardware. So it isn't possible for the initrd to be signed by the vendor. Is it possible for the TPM to verify such a dynamically created file during boot?

Also, requiring a TPM for decrypting the hard drive has a security/usability tradeof. If the TPM dies, or possibly other components of the computer (like the motherboard), then you lose the ability to access the data on the drive altogether. While if it isn't you can still recover the data from the drive.
I haven't had a loading screen for that long on a website, or a framerate that low, since I last used Flash in 2007.

A not so small portion of philosophy can come down to defining words and bits of grammar in robust ways or at least coming to an agreement how terms are used differently by different people. Importantly, much philosophy fails to point this out and gets a bit lost failing to accept that all words are made up and can have arbitrary meanings - picking meanings shouldn’t be so contentious sometimes.
I admire the attempt to make your site really cool, but jeez it's so unusable. Perhaps the most "form over function" site I've used in years.

> If I use the Chinese Remainder theorem to distribute data to five hosts, such that you need to get the data from three of them to reconstruct the file, which one is hosting it?

This kind of technical obfuscation won't stymie a judge, the owners of all five nodes would be held liable if they were instrumental in facilitating access to the illegal material.

> And what if it's encrypted so that the host couldn't read the data anyway?

This isn't really a practical setup for a social media website. If the host can't decrypt the data then the social media users won't be able to do so either. People could share illegal content in some kind of private E2EE group chat like Signal, but in such a scenario decentralization is of no relevance since the buck stops at E2EE either way.

In Sweden, at 59 degrees, the sunrise and set change so much, that changing DST only twice a year feels a bit silly: https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/sweden/stockholm

One hour more or less really doesn't matter. I wonder which band of countries DST might actually make sense in.
The most dangerous thing about email is that it can send you to a malicious website. The troublesome thing is that you can’t (in general) choose who sends you emails. Ads are similar, you may choose to visit a site that you trust, but you don’t choose the ads that are served by that site to you and these ads can be malicious. The site owners that you trust may not even know the ads that are being served to their visitors.
Ask HN: How to Debug Scala Project?
I've been tasked with making changes to a project with 50,000+ lines of code, I'm pretty new to Scala and I'm finding it damn near impossible to keep track of the hundreds of classes and remember what all their attributes are. I've tried using sbt console as a REPL but it doesn't seem to want to load the project if it's composed of sub-projects.

Is anyone willing to share tips about their development workflow? Is it possible to use breakpoints and/or step through code to be able to inspect objects at a particular point? I've tried IntelliJ but I can't seem to plug in my arguments.

Thanks in advance!
>>I fail to imagine how any of the things you mentioned could be seen in a positive light by Chinese people.
(not sure if you reversed the meaning here, assuming you intended to say that these things are seen in a positive light by the ppl)

Since the Chinese people are kept in the dark on such things, and not trusted with knowledge of even recent history (e.g., Tienanmen massacre, Great Firewall, constant censorship), they cannot be said to have any view at all of the reality. That is different from having an actual positive view.

>>Why would the care about opinions of the people/states that already hate China and want it to fail?
This is a completely bogus and strawman argument.

I, and everyone I know wants the Chinese, and all people, to succeed, and enjoy prosperous self-determination. Even if it is out of self-interest, e.g., avoiding the disastrous knock-on effects of China failing, no one wants China to fail.

What people DO want is for the CCP to stop behaving as a herd of authoritarian despots at home and abroad. Wanting authoritarian despotism to stop is NOT the same thing as wanting failure.

What is sad is the the CCP is so detached from reality that they cannot see that they could be very successful by stopping these behaviors. It is like they can't stop making the same mistakes as the 1958 Smash Sparrows/Four Pests campaign, thinking that they are improving things, but actually creating a disaster (famine in this case). Let's hope these disasters don't also kill 20 million people.

You could potentially hide a satellite from radar observation the same way you can for planes. That's apparently what the Misty program [1] did. Synthetic aperture radar could take care of clouds, though you lose color. Agreed about maneuverability I think.

My next firewall will have some kind of machine/port/etc filtering that allows me to whitelist where say my tv/etc can communicate. Even if I have to write it myself because i'm not aware of anything 1/2 as user friendly as the 3rd party "Windows X Firewall control" applet that works on a network level. Yes my current firewall can do this, but it requires me hand entering ip/port/etc combinations in a UI that is terrible.

So, while I use an adblock list with my unbound caching DNS server, it only works with devices which honor the local network DNS settings, which are becoming fewer and fewer thanks to the efforts of the major players to _HELP_ everyone with DOH. A protocol without an easy way to MITM/filter the requests even when the user wants it.

Just bought a cheap first gen 12 core Threadripper. I like Void Linux so I installed Void Musl. The only issue with Musl libc is you can not build the proprietary Nvidia drivers (considered a feature to me) so I plugged in an OLD Radeon HD5850 for now. In the future I plan to kill off my long in the tooth Win 7 machine and move its GTX1060 to the Void machine but I don't think nouveau is stable enough. Might have to buy an AMD card or switch to Void glibc.

I installed flatpack to install Steam and the experimental community build of Proton for flatpack Steam. I was instantly able to play a favorite Windows only game: Two Point Hospital. Flatpack also made installing Discord (used sparingly I might add) and GzDoom to run Brutal Doom, dead simple.

The major hurdle is AAA titles with ghastly anti-piracy/cheat software as well as 3rd party gaming platforms do not work. Of course this is all getting fixed by Valve so I have nothing but praise for them. So as of now the following older AAA's I own do not work: GTA5, Skyrim, Crysis, Farcry 3.

So if you think you need a specific Linux to get a good gaming experience, you don't. The kernel is the important part. The rest is just software dependency solved by flatpack.

Landfills are mostly just "lets push the problem forward and have the next generation deal with it". Yes, there is a lot of space we could use to fill up with trash, but everything is finite.

In the chain of raw resources -> refined resources -> partial assemblies -> assembled products -> used products -> waste all steps are finite, and it's just a matter of which limit we hit first. Instead of waiting and "hoping for the best" it would make much more sense to plan ahead and start limiting the growth and acceleration towards that finite limit so we have a chance at mitigation.
