Depends on who makes the claim, I guess. We are absolutely not afraid of scientific reviews. We're afraid of potential legal reviews made in bad faith. A company doesn't have to win a legal case to win against researchers, they just have to make a fuss.
High private debt might be caused by relatively high saving rate and weak equity market in China. So instead of buying stocks they are buying bond.
> An0m wasn’t illegal, provided useful actionable intelligence and didn’t enable anyone to commit crimes.

An0m wasn't illegal because it was operated by LE. But it did enable illegal actions, and the operating LEOs overlooked illegal actions, until enough data was collected on big fish.
The scenarios couldn't be more different.

To Facebook and Google, you are the product. They are trying to get at your data to sell to third parties.

To Epic, Fortnite is the product. They are trying to sell things to their users via their app.

Yes, Tufte's work is very good. I also like his war against powerpoint. A futile war unfortunately. Sigh.
Honestly I have no idea what contradiction you're referring to.

Regardless, his donating the laptops doesn't mean he needs to buy new ones. Why is he going through them so fast in the first place? If he really wants to give laptops away, why not just buy new laptops and give them to people? Or why not just take the money he would put to new laptops and donate the cash to people? Given his actions up until now, I would be willing to bet that he would just dump the Framework laptop and buy a new one (or another) whenever the first (replaceable) component fails. He seems like a paragon of waste of resources. I don't understand why he considers the Framework as necessary for him.
Next epic lawsuit: Apple must have a justified reason for banning a game / account that is outlined in their TOS. And the exact specific reason must be given in writing so it can be clearly addressed.

I mean think about it. It's not just about a feud, the games are literally barred on all computers of a specific type (iOS computers). That's like 1/5 (probably more) of the computing screen that is looked at daily by all people. I mean at a certain point banning that is like banning eating. People gotta eat. Doesn't anyone else think it's weird that one organization can ban software from being on 1/5 of all computers in the world?

Computing got a lot weirder than it was when I was a kid.
there's radeontop, but i don't know if that's comparable
No; I’m saying it seems reasonable to get 20x the bovine field from the same land through active ranching and agriculture than it would naturally support.

I understand the definitional argument that is being made, but it still makes no sense. This was the statement: “ Apple is an unregulated privately-owned quasi-government entity with none of the responsibilities or checks on authority that a real government has.”

A quasi government isn’t a government. A privately owned and unregulated entity isn’t a government. That’s the whole point. If you beg the question by assuming Apple is like a government then of course Apple should be treated like a government. But on the face of the analysis, they’re not like a government. You need to support how they’re like a government. What about them is like a government? Everything the GP talks about are ways that Apple is NOT like a government. It does not support the argument that they ARE a government.

It’s like saying “Apple is a duck, but it isn’t acting like a duck because it’s acting like an eagle!” and then when someone says “but Apple is an eagle by law and has always been thought of as an eagle, how did they become a duck?” you responded with “you’re missing the point, I said they’re a duck so they should act like one!”
I can attest that the people there are very hard working, I think most US citizens have no idea. At least this is true for people who are lucky enough to end up as professionals at the many factories that are there. Of course there are still many poor.

One interesting theory I heard about the entire Latin world (explaining why it tends to be poor) is that the old Spanish empire was deliberately modeled to be an extension of aristocratic Roman empire. The problem that this causes is too much power in the hands of aristocrats, with not enough space left for risk-taking entrepreneurs. To the degree that this is true (I'm not sure..), longstanding contact with the US may moderate it in Mexico in particular. Here is a video about it:

Right, because this will save the planet, EU and western countries must be laughing stock in Asia/Africa.

Pollution produced by EU/West is drop in ocean compared to pollution produced by Asian/African countries, but let's annoy everyone with smallest things, while people in Asia just dump trash into rivers/oceans.

I really love when politicians flying in jets, riding limos tell me, someone doesn't even own car, how my few plastic bags per week or packaging of grapes is destroying the planet.

At least 90% with kids I know regularly use car, but hey, I am destroying planet because unlike them I don't use those useless single use paper bags, but use for grocery same few plastic bags for years, same with recycling, God forbid to admit you just dump your stuff without recycling (let's ignore the fact you are just helping recycling companies to make money, since they have to sort out recycled trash anyway, you just make it cheaper for them, recycling is good business).

EDIT: thanks in advance for downvotes from people who never been to Asia to see how clean it's there and who ride their car everywhere to preach me
Ah revenge, the noblest of reasons for doing shitty things to people
"First they came for the human traffickers, but I said nothing because I wasn't a human trafficker." Somehow I don't think this is particularly convincing.

micro usb does kind of suck, but it's vastly better than every phone having a different proprietary charger like it was before smartphones
I don't know about the ancient Arab world but Roman slavery wasn't race based, wasn't generational, slaves could buy their freedom, and eventually slaves gained some forms of legal protection. Oh and it was almost 2000 years ago.

There are more factors to it than just cost of labour.

Skilled assembly line workforce now comes at CNY10000-CNY15000 per month, more than the labour cost in cheaper US states, not to say that employers in USA pay close to nothing besides the salary itself (social security, pension fund, other welfare payments are minimal)

Yet, nobody runs to open factories in USA. Some Chinese companies tried, and everybody seen how it went.

In short: biggest manufacturing MNCs want nothing, but very skilled, educated, and young workforce coming at near no cost, and they bet everything on an all in investment in the country where have it.

Samsung chose Vietnam. Now it is 1/3 of Vietnam's GDP.

> Lots of right wing parties in the EU advocate for a "countryname-exit"

Not anymore, that was the past!

Bellies are still aching from laughter after Brexit, and EU has got the final approval stamp after 2016.
Yes, and if approved USB PD EPR (extended power range) proposal, will take it to 240 Watts over USB-C connectors.

This moves USB close to the domain in which government regulation has long been necessary for safety reasons.

It may be the case that the EU believes a standard domestic DC power supply is imminent and the EU believes PD (EPR) over USB-C meets the need.

If so, that would make sense, and I am pleased to see the EU trying to get ahead to standardise and remove risk from vendors as well as consumers.

By analogy, California had no natural right to export its CAFE automotive regulations. Yet CA had the foresight to cause that to happen anyway. Bravo.

Absolutely no chance. Mexicans are incredibly hard working, but there's basically no way they'll become the next China.
How does one go about breaking FDE tho? If it's secured by a password that's only in your mind.
I'm not sure it's about getting older, but it does seem somehow related to age.

In my experience, the people who won't ask "why" aren't simply "older." They're the in-between. Young people ask "why." But also older people, maybe 50+.

My experience has been that it's the project managers and their overlords in the 25-49 range that seem to think they know everything and everyone else is unclued.

The young ask "why" because they're curious and want to learn. The old as "why" because they want to understand what's behind decisions. And managers hate explaining themselves.
Exactly this. I bought iPad Pro to play Fortnite with my nephew, and in less than a month it was removed. Epic broke the agreement, fine remove them from the App Store, but there's no reason to not being able to install the game from an external source except for Apple's greed. I, for one, not going to purchase anything from Apple anymore. I spent over 20k on Apple devices in the last 8 years or so.
My basic take is that I'm mostly in the keep standard time ("winter time" in your parlance) camp. I want the sun up earlier to be able to run/bike in the morning, and I also like noon being somewhat close to where the sun crosses the meridian.

What I think really makes the most sense is just global time - UTC everywhere. Yes, I've seen the args against it and I think it would all be a lot more adaptable.

Either way, just stop it with moving the clocks. Not only is it a major PITA for everyone, studies have shown that it actually causes increases in road and work accidents. And, whatever rationale for energy savings has now been reversed, since air conditioning drives energy use far more than lighting. Just Stop It.

Note on the origin, from what I've read, one of the most likely origins is Ben Franklin's joke about the French, that they'd change the time system laws to save candle wax. I haven't read anything that substantially proves or refutes that, and I think we've honored Ben's joke enough already.
How do you install extra packages? (sympy, etc)
... which is a different conversation than this one.
For Vietnam there is the risk of the authoritarian single party rule. It works as long as the decisions are wise, but nothing can be done if they are not. I kind of think this is what's happening in China now.
Woa, just checked my fridge and would you believe it, Amazon Fresh apples are now sent in cardboard boxes with no plastic wrapper!
I would favor plant based alternatives with some lab-grown / GMO produced additives for flavor.
Yes, easily. Modern DSLR sensors have a higher native dynamic range, so you can get more out of a photo without using multiple exposures in the first place.

Also, most DSLRs these days have some sort of multi-exposure functionality built-in. Sometimes it's as simple as 'bracketing' (so you get multiple phones you have to merge together in post), but some fancier ones offer HDR functionality in-camera, so nothing to do in post.
> Epic promises they will comply

They also made that promise when they opened their developer account. Do you think they really mean it this time?
I think it's also interesting here because really this is about Apple vs. Facebook (Instagram).

Apple is saying Facebook you need to moderate your content.

Which the question becomes "Is Instagram more than a glorified web browser?"
Perhaps, but HN incentivizes comments that will produce a reaction (votes, replies). You cannot read too much into what someone wrote here. "Facebook must censor all the things!" and "We need a decentralized Facebook so that censorship is impossible!" are not at odds with each other when the goal is to receive a reaction in return, assuming the author has found that those comments produce the reaction they seek.

When someone is being truly genuine, I do not believe you will find that contradiction. It is possible that you may not have entirely understood what they have written, and looking for clarification may be worthwhile. Still, given the above, it is not likely worth your time. In places where there is incentive to be genuine, more exploration can be worth it.
In my experience this is rarely the case.

It's much more likely you're misunderstanding their position or missing some undisclosed nuance. Often I find this just comes down to most people lacking the vocabulary or ability to refine their positions consicely enough to form coherent and non contradictory positions.

If you take the time to work through their contrictory statements with them you'll likely find there was no contradiction in their mind, instead, there was just some nuance that got lost in translation.
> illegal heavy drugs, prostitution

If drugs, sex work and slavery are the same to you, and others sort of doing it makes selling ads for it okay, Facebook might be a good fit.
Yes, you’re right. My mistake!
No one knows, but I think it means we're going to see a massive deleveraging event in both China and the US. But maybe we can all keep kicking the can indefinitely. Who knows?
>The zeitgeist of HN is white hot outrage that this content can be found on Facebook/Google/etc, yet also to champion decentralized sharing systems which would make this sort of content uncensorable.

>Can someone explain this to me?

I don't think there's any contradiction.

People on HN think slavery is bad because the enslaved person is forced to do work they don't want to; they don't have a Right To Walk Away[1] from their job. This means their pay and conditions are a lot worse than they would be if they could walk away form being enslaved.

And people on HN think Big Social Media is bad for roughly the same reason: in practical terms, there is no Right To Walk Away. Sure, you could build your own Facebook or Twitter (and many people on HN certainly have the skill to do so), but because of network effects it'll get nowhere. That's why decentralisation/interoperability with things like ActivityPub is attractive, and why it would be even better if the government mandated that all websites with user-generated content allowed such interoperability.

Could you elaborate on specific issues you have with Kotlin/IntelliJ? I use both as my daily work environment and I barely have issues.
Public debt = all loans to the government of a country

US Federal Debt = all loans to the US Federal Government (which excludes loans to state and local governments).

Private Debt = all loans to non-governmental entities (individuals/businesses/corporations) in a country.
The rate of change seems to be significantly higher for China Compared to the US, maybe this has to with growth rate of their GDP, but if they can't keep up with GDP growth, they will be in trouble
> I'll be honest, I don't quite understand the value proposition so it's always #2 on my todo list

Yea, I need to sort that out. It should be a lot clearer. I would say the the benefits are the same as other bootstraps and templates as well as open source libraries. It provides you functionality so you don't need to code it yourself.

My main thing with open source is that bug fixes are very much optional, even if you provide the fix. They're also not designed for scale. I really want to be able to provide top level support.

Then you have the fact that you need to use multiple libraries that sometimes don't really play well nice with each other. Everything integrates with each other.

Open source libraries and others aren't actually designed for scale or the company growing and needing to replace parts. That is one area I tried to put effort into making sure you can replace things and use your own. For example, it comes with A/B testing, you can literally switch between mines and optimizely. The admin section (Athena) for example can work with Doctrine ORM or MongoDB and uses the repository interface to allow any database system to be used. While still being heavily inspired by Sonata.

Then there are things like file uploads which I've added the glue between Symfony and Flysystem.

Emails we support quite a few email service providers which can be changed via config. Unlike the symfony mailer which you can also use the integrations with the service providers allows you to use the templates with Sendgird, etc.

And obivously I'm planning on extending it further.

If you want a discount code email me at iain@humblyarrogant.io and I'll hook you up with a discount.
Or use Swatch Internet time. Essentially a metric clock, divided by 1000, with the meridian in Biel, Switzerland. @248 is 248 divisions past midnight at the meridian, but still 248 worldwide. No more conversions needed.

Of course there are positives. But the overall effect will be to stifle advancement. We grow through trial and error.
> for the same reason that Comcast shouldn't even be allowed to decide what websites or services you do/don't use.

Internet is not regulated like this. ISPs can and do ban you for torrenting or going to certain websites because they're not a general utility.
There is not really a 'european' government. There is a political body, which is setting some wider rules in the union, but only in areas which have been transferred by national governments.

However, there is a tendency of these national governments to introduce laws on that level, and then turn around to their citizens and tell them 'Bruxelles told us to do this'.

There are certainly some stupid laws on that level, especially in the area of tech. But most of the complaints (these laws are conflicting!) are just a meme.

In general is the support for the EU a majority [1] and the UK only succesfully 'won' the referendum to leave, and are now seeing the difference the EU has made in daily life.

The quotes research is a bit older, I am certain the Covid response and the fallout from Brexit has improved the support for the European union.

The one thing I did that I'd recommend to anyone who wants to move into running a farm business: spend as much time as you can working for other farmers before you start. You'll have fun, learn loads, find your strengths and weaknesses, etc.

The great thing is, if you are able to juggle tech stuff and farm work, each feels a bit like time-off from the other because they're so different.
I don’t think your project is garbage, but you also called it the “ultimate” template, which as you pointed out below was a bit of marketing on your part. It’s not surprising that someone in HN is going to call you out on the marketing fluff.
I’m still waiting to see a Cat D11 with an electric motor or a mechanic who can fix a used EV battery or what planet we’re going to get the lithium and cobalt from to make billions of EV cars. I don’t think we share a common definition for technical superiority.
As the OP correctly points out, for the past three decades, domestic and foreign banks, bond funds, and other lenders and investors have lent money to Chinese companies on the assumption that they would always be bailed out by the Chinese government.

As a result (quoting from the OP), "loan and bond portfolios have been built around political perceptions and pressures rather than around credit risk and the portfolio needs of creditors, and there has been very little discrimination in credit pricing." I couldn't agree more.

If the Chinese government does not bail out Evergrande creditors, the OP believes -- and I agree -- that the country's credit markets would see a "major repricing of credit and a corresponding reallocation of credit risk portfolios." That's a polite and elegant way of saying that if Evergrande is allowed to fail, things could get frakked up in China for a good while.
Anecdata here, but I live in America and had no idea 7-11 gas stations even existed until reading this thread. To me it’s always only been a convenience store.
Thank you for saying this. I live in Japan too and I literally cringe whenever I see something Japan related on here. It's mostly generalizations infused with orientalism and nihonjinron.
Speaking as someone who used to work on Microsoft's CETS - it was driven by an undertsanding that if you provide a platform and ecosystem, you have some level of responsibility to prevent and/or mitigate the harms that occur, or may occur.

I personally haven't seen any charitable or notable contributions by Facebook, Google in those spaces (i.e. slavery, human trafficking or child exploitation) - admitedly, I could have missed news on their efforts.
Hm. I build my Workstation Desktop in 2019 with AMD and nVidia and an Ubunut flavor. Focused a little bit on low noise and a video card supporting several Screens.

My reMarkable 2, using it for it’s designed purpose of note taking, lasts for weeks (month+?) on a charge depending on how much I write each day, but it averages 3-5 or more pages consistently 5-6 days a week and the battery life is long enough I never think about charging.
Well, “Royalty” adds quite interesting magic system, and “Ideology” adds belief systems, which are fun and are not required to be religious. You can have transhumanist female supremacists, who require their men to go around naked and really like weed parties.

Anyway, Royalty and Ideology are DLCs, so you can totally play without them.
This isn't going to be the best response of mine by HN standards, but:

Well, fuck me.
For now, flatpack and snap sandboxes perf hit are quite significant, and devs don't manage the permissions well so you often end up with software that can't open the files you want.

When you fire and electron app from a sandbox, it's a hog riding a slug, then you try to open your files only to find yourself in a temp folder or chrooted to a config subdir.

It think those tech can bring a lot, but there is still work to do.
What about the actual human traffickers? Aren't they most responsible?

What have you done to stop facebook?
Looking at the comments this reminds me of a frustrated spin system. No way to make everybody happy.

We could just select 10 possible solutions (precise local noon, UTC for everybody, forever-summer, forever-winter, DST, DST in temperate/polar regions only, smooth sigmoid-like DST transition, etc...) and rotate between them every few weeks.

You are welcome, no need to thank me.
True, but that still might be desirable if there's a new cable standard that is otherwise compatible -- beats making the entire laptop obsolete.

As a thought experiment: If the Framework laptop existed prior to USB-C PD, it would have been a very cool feature to be able to add a USB-C PD module and effectively upgrade the laptop to support it.

It'll be interesting to see if the internal USB-C design works out in the long run. My instinct would have been to build a larger (proprietary) internal connector for the modules that included charging, constant and switched power, USB, and as many PCIe data lines as possible.
