According to Friedman, South Korea is where it is today because of American support. 80 years ago, South Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world. It was in American geopolitical interest to turn it into what it is today.
> you have 14% of company but have 65% of voting rights

Good point. It makes no difference if the other shareholders have 1 or 0 votes per share. They have no control of the company, they just loaned it money - in practice they have variable yield bonds.

Also, viewed that way, the company has a much smaller market cap and a huge debt.
Because it makes developing new features slightly slower and that is for mostly stupid reasons deemed unacceptable.
>They keep reminding me I have $50 of test/dev credit on Azure through my Visual Studio subscription but it flat out frightens me to even try to use it.

The VS credits are hard capped. At least they were on my account (didn't even have a credit card loaded)
My T440 does not have a discrete GPU.

It's basically a T440s without the touchpad. But it's got an i7, of that matters.
This exactly. The lightning port is superior. I was sad to see the old magsafe connector go away when they adopted USB C on laptops and I'll be really sad to lose the lightning connector.

The USB C connector is a marginal improvement over micro-usb but that's about all.
Reserves grew despite increased extraction. So far we are discovering faster than we can extract. Obviously it is something to keep an eye on but panic is not warranted.
Most heart conditions are undetected and we have to look at the possible danger for the wider population.
> no very good reason.

This is the thing that gets me … surely the cheapest solution for the manufacture of the cheap electronics is a usb mini connector. But instead they slap a usb wall brick with a random connector from the pets bin to plug into the device.

Why!?
> In the context of Azure, if someone wants to deploy on an ARM instance, I'd expect them to be able to build a native ARM64 version of whatever they're building.

Have you really had the experience that a large organization has the ability to recompile everything they run? Most will have a lot of code which is provided as binaries by a vendor, and their in-house code almost certainly has dependencies and optimizations which will need to be dealt with & revalidated. No, none of that is unsolvable but it means adoption is much harder than, say, changing an RDS instance type and you'd be taking on all of the support rather than the cloud provider's much larger team.

That's what I referred to in my original comment — in my experience, the average Azure user works at a Windows-heavy enterprise IT shop where those issues would be common. That doesn't mean that I don't expect ARM servers to happen there — Microsoft announced it was coming years ago, after all — but that it's going to be slow since the upfront investment will likely have slower adoption.
I've been wondering if/when China would start tightening their rules.

However I'm not entirely clear from the article exactly what the status of crypto in china now is. It's not clear to me from the quoted statement if it is actually illegal to use crypto to pay for something or to hold or transfer it, or if it's something a bit more subtle and limited.
Thanks — I'll have to take a look at that sometime.
My reasoning is that the socialness here doesn't affect my experience in any way (that I'm aware of). "Liking" stuff by upvoting doesn't mean _I_ get more of "Content X" on my frontpage, it just means everyone gets more of this content. And I can't friend/follow people so my frontpage can't be affected by a secret algorithm that shows me more content of what my clique is currently raging about.

So I both agree with you and disagree with you. Our terminology is lacking for sure. And I agree that this is _more_ of a discussion forum, but not just simply that. But I wouldn't classify a discussion forum as a subcategory of social media. Maybe the other way around.
No, they don't. Because all chargers today are either USB or USB-C, including the ones Apple sells. In the future they will all be USB-C. They will be that, because it is the only thing that can fast charge.

Apple use lighting connectors on their phones, but the ones they ship now connects to USB-c. Apple does not change ports easily (on their phones), but when they do it is a huge deal that people remember.

Also Apple has been on a modern port since before USB-C existed, which was likely why they created lighting.
There are different kinds of dictatorships.

Serbia is externally sponsored one. Angela Merkel visited just recently, and EU, on paper gives support. In exchange Vucic is doing whatever is needed, and they look the other way while he does his moves.

OCCASIONALLY he oversteps his limitations, and his sponsors give him slap on the wrist.
Nope. I came back to MS Windows for work a couple of years ago -- it's ironically terrible at managing windows.

It does have virtual desktops now at least.

There are third-party solutions.

MS need better window management.
His descriptions of layers on layers of ancient code still running in that far future setting is somehow one of the most horrifying things I've read in scifi.
Hardly, when there is so much from Xerox PARC ones still left to replicate.

That's not sarcasm. Because this feature is missing on chrome android I only have the option to close all tabs or to manually open each tab and decide to bookmark it or not.
I think it depends a lot on the industry as well. In some industries it is common to paste photos, in others it will look very strange

Where does it say that? Not in the paper as far as I can see.

Oh nice I didn't know it had a timeline rather than just "we want to.. one day"! That's good to hear thank you :)
So in say 5-10 years there would be 2 dominant connectors in the market for phones?? How would that be unlike the last 5-10 years?
Seems like something is wrong. Are extra BIOS checks enabled? My Linux Redmibook with 16 GB of RAM and a cheap SSD takes 5-6 seconds to restore from hibernate.
The data structure?
if you use secure boot, you cannot use hibernation under fedora (or any Linux, afaik) since there is no way to "seal" the hibernation image from modification by an attacker who could mount the swap on another OS where they have root. this is regardless of disk encryption.
> but am assuming 'cast or airplay' refers to the method used by mobile devices to redirect AV streams to different devices.

Yes, thank you for phrasing it better.

I don't think what you said is 100% true. I have an old chromecast that is capable of playing Spotify without the "spotify client" (i assume you mean spodifyd).

From what I understand about chromecast is that it uses a "cast protocol" (?) and therefore doesn't require "clients" (xyzd) for each media service integration.

Unsure about airplay though.

I imagine the reason they chose to use this spotifyd approach might be

- There is no "cast client" or "airplay client" available

- Audio properties of the Spotifyd client are superior to the alternatives

- They only use spotify

- just because they wanted to

Yup, i understand the idea behind these clients and why they're superior to bluetooth.
Nope. Chrome's storage lists "0b" for its storage, which causes XiaoMi's OS to grey out the memory panel for the app. You cannot, for whatever reason, clear the app cache in Chrome's case.

However, sure enough, tab instances persist even across killing the app and then force stopping it.
Your intuition about fairness matches a principle recognized by courts. The term for the applicable legal doctrine here is "estoppel". There's a strong argument to be made that if Instagram didn't make its (fairly unorthodox) position on embeds clear beforehand, then Newsweek's original use was reasonable and non-infringing (but not something that it can rely on indefinitely, esp. after Newsweek was notified that it did not have permission). There's another argument to be made, though, that the absence of an explicit prohibition is not necessary, due to copyright being an automatic negative right—that the burden is on Newsweek to obtain a clear license, not on anyone else to do any work explaining to Newsweek that it can't use it. This is a strong, argument, too, but probably weaker than the argument from estoppel.

Reconciliation with the natives was a huge factor in the debates for the canadian election.

>Reconciliation:
>the restoration of friendly relations.
>"his reconciliation with your uncle"

Clearly implying that we are not on friendly relations right now. Mind you, 75% of natives have abandoned the reserves and joined Canadian society. Our multiculturalism and diversity accepts them.

But why did the government censor the opposing debate? If you watched that debate, they never actually debated. They all agreed with each other.

This is because we aren't on good terms with the natives and allowing debate on the subject would inflame the problem. We have to say we are going to get friendly, even though we never do.

>The great aim of our legislation has been to do away with the tribal system and assimilate the Indian people in all respects with the other inhabitants of the Dominion as speedily as they are fit to change.

>John A Macdonald, 1887

He was a conservative prime minister who created legislation intent on destroying the natives. Worse yet, Pierre Trudeau, our current prime minister's father, in addition to a future prime minister. Liberal Jean Chretien wrote the 1969 white papers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_White_Paper

They never did it. What an absolute shame. We almost fixed the disaster that it has become today.

Our current government will look like they are doing something to fix the problem. But in reality will not actually do anything.
> The cat is already out of the bag (and has been) in terms of showing what giving up privacy to a closed company will do. If not today, then another day, another egregious action will occur.

I think we differ in our thoughts about what should be done about this, but you’re not wrong here.
The use-case here is that the interface is highly interactive and coordinated. The suggested approach and library tries to blur the line between the logical components of client, server and database. Whether that is desirable depends entirely on what the assumptions of your web application are.
TBH cucumber would go bad for sure much faster than in weeks even in plastic

I usually buy cucumber with intention if preparing something, but get to it like 1-2 weeks later when it starts to get already soft, while it's shrink wrapped, so I really doubt it's really matter of "weeks" unless you mean 2 weeks
If it's disingenuous, LET THE USERS DECIDE ! Like Steve Jobs said. . . Ask them! Every time! And make it clear!

What's disingenuous to you is remarkably a standard business practice for a tax or a fee of any kind. Buying an airplane ticket? If there are fees and charges , guess what? They get called out so you have a choice.

Buying an iPhone in most parts of the world? Guess what happens when you go to check out? You see the "Includes Tax of xx%" there so you have the information.

This should not even be an argument in this day and age, but unfortunately, here we are. Market conditions and rules of engagement around competition should NOT be dictated by large companies. There is a line in the sand where Apples platform ends and the real world begins. It's ridiculous that they have been allowed to get away with saying "If you do ANYTHING on our platform, you agree to hamper your business voluntarily in EVERY OTHER PLATFORM you choose to participate in". Do it, or don't do business with us. That's anti competitive and has been finally called out by at least one judge so far in the Epic case.
uh... You stole my word ^^
You need just some millions to your name and to contact their sales people. But to protect themselves it will be sold in a way that makes it useful to you and still have plausible deniability. Like Facebook letting you advertise to users that liked or saw something, instead of just straight telling you who they are, though it is trivial to do so with some tracking on the website.
> but this is a very standard symbol [...] especially one targeted at people studying mathematics

I've studied maths at university level and I didn't recognise phi (I thought of it as "that squiggle") in that context.

I mean I probably could've guessed it's name was psi or phi or somesuch, but I certainly wouldn't have been sure.
And what about mining?

When will this be truly enforced?
It is a downgrade from Discord, but from Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Google Hangouts and the pile of shit that is Skype it is an upgrade. Element is a bit buggy (just like Skype and Hangouts) but otherwise it is a pretty good client compared to its competitors.
Just curious, what kind of compilation error are you getting?
It seems a glaring omission not to mention the Astro Slide [1] which I seriously hope will be shipping in the next month, or even the F(x)tec range of phones[2]. The former has options for linux or dual boot with android, comes with a slide-out physical keyboard. Not top of the line processor, but not far off. Not the most stylish design (if that's even possible with a slide-out keyboard) but not far off. And definitely not a "luxury" pricetag.

It's good that these devices are starting to appear - it's a shame that many of them are either so niche that they can justify the markup, or likely to require a large amount of skill to perform and manage the linux install.

One day, we might meet in the middle.

> People remember.

No. People don't remember over a sufficiently long period of time.

For instance, you mention China, Russia and the British Empire, but if you look further in time, you get to see other things which nobody remembers:

> The Islamization of Xinjiang started around 1000 AD by eliminating Buddhism. [1].

> Many Buddhists fear that their countries will lose their culture and become Muslim, as had been the case in many parts of modern day Central Asia, Xinjiang, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, which were majority Buddhist before the arrival of Islam in the 7th-11th centuries. [...] When the Muslim Turkic Qarakhanids captured the Buddhist city of Khotan in Xinjiang in 1006 CE, one of their poets penned this verse: “We came down on them like a flood/We went out among their cities/We tore down the idol-temples/We shat on the Buddha’s head.” In the Islamic world, a destroyer of idols came to be known as a but-shikan (بت شکن), a destroyer of but, a corruption of the word Buddha. [2]

Long before the Islamization of Buddhist Uyghur, there were "Caucasoid" people, which would be impossible to know without the discovery of the Tarim "Celtic" mummies (~2000 years BC) [3].

> From the evidence available, we have found that during the first 1,000 years after the Loulan Beauty [~4000 years ago], the only settlers in the Tarim Basin were Caucasoid. East Asian peoples only began showing up in the eastern portions of the Tarim Basin about 3,000 years ago, Mair said, while the Uighur peoples arrived after the collapse of the Orkon Uighur Kingdom, largely based in modern day Mongolia, around the year 842.

Windows keeps waking up for random things, the problem is getting worse with every Windows release and Microsoft keeps removing more and more controls.

Just a few days ago I spent hours trying to fix the constant wake-ups. This time it was a waketimer set by the StartMenuExperienceHost.exe process! [1]

Microsoft already removed the Power Management tabs in Device Manager for most devices (mouse, etc.). They also removed the "Allow wake timers" option in Power Options (Surface pro has very limited power options exposed). They also removed the CSEnabled registry key.

I really wish I understood comments like these as what you describe is just not my experience at all in over a year.

My partner, entire social circle, etc and I all communicate via matrix, via a mix of clients ranging from Element to Weechat to Fluffychat across a number of different servers for both personal and business.

I have helped migrate hundreds of people to matrix and in the last year or so I have not had to hand hold people anymore as UX has improved dramatically. They just go sign up and drop in just like they would with Signal or WhatsApp or any other messenger.

I also admin a number of rooms with hundreds of people and everything just works.

Personally Matrix and IRC (often also via Matrix) are all I use for messaging.

I login with a new device, have an existing device verify me when prompted, then type messages in boxes to people and people see them, with end to end encryption that works. For conversations that require high trust I additionally do key verification.

I do encounter minor bugs from time to time like stuck messages, or occasional slowdowns of the giant primary matrix.org server, but honestly I have found it dramatically more reliable than SMS for me, but with actual E2EE.

We really need the internet to be open and decentralized and that happens with technical people going all in on efforts like Matrix and helping report any bugs found and get then fixed.

Element -was- for sure as buggy as you describe in my experience for many in my circle a couple years ago but even then we were happy to accept occasional glitches than continue to build our social graph in walled garden ecosystems that don't care about censorship resistance, security, or privacy.

It really depends on what you value.
Yes, I thought about both scenarios and actually added support for both to my app.

If you rename a note through the app it will go though all other notes and update them to use the new name.

The app also adds datestamps, YYYY-DD-MM, to the file name of each note exactly for the reason you mentioned. File metadata might get lost when copying a file around. The added benefit is that if you sort files alphabetically in Finder, they show up in the order you created them.

Is this content for content’s sake? Anything remotely practical mentioned has been in use for years.
Well, some people do remember visuals. Imagine HR who's been going through hundreds of profiles a day. Photo may be a good tool to create association (for example, HR can think: 'that guy in red shirt had experience in Google). On the other hand, just any picture can be used, not a photo to solve this problem:)
It's not easier to be an AWS or GCE fan, though. I'd love to go cloud computing for my personal stuff instead of physical servers - but I don't want to go AWS because I don't want to get blacklisted from Amazon shopping or losing my Kindle library due to hitting a runaway AI flagging my cheap EC2 instance as "potentially fraudulent/hacked" or whatever, and for Google... well, losing that account would be way more disastrous.

Can we just have a decent cloud provider offering services on a reliability and scale level as AWS/GCE/Azure, but with decent customer support and no way for (necessary) anti-fraud/abuse mechanisms to kill off entire digital lives?
That would be a building block to achieve something similar.

Implementing this would however smear your logic all over your client and server and require careful plumbing. SSE doesn't come without caveats either.

The suggested approach here is to abstract away from that plumbing and move to a more declarative, composable expression. Whether you want that or not really depends. I see this as a specialized paradigm to solve a specific category of problems.
