I'm italian, but I don't really understand the case. As far as I can understand reading italian news, no one was forced to subscribe to Prime program. Of course Prime program is linked to Amazon logistic and subscribing to Prime program force to seller to use Amazon logistic, but I think this is part of the conditions to subscribe to it and it's just a business model.

I guess, and it's just a guess knowing how Amazon is treated in Italy [0], italian retail companies had something to do with this fine.

> there will be contagion

Beijing controls its banks. If it tells them to lend, they will lend, something the U.S. doesn’t have the power to do. There is zero risk of contagion within China’s borders because that is not a failure mode in a monolithic banking system.

To the degree contagion exists, it is at the sovereign level, in foreign investors decamping from China wholesale. China is less reliant on those than before. And there is no sign of that happening.
I think type inference is much more important for people that used dynamically typed languages instead of C devs. You could argue that it is also much more important for Rust.
Hey friend, please take this as a friendly suggestion. What others say seems to be true. But this is a good news. Look it seems that it is more about you than them. Which is fantastic as you can't change them and you can influence you.

What that recruiter wrote you is pretty much what I got from your post. Here is what I would do: pick some of the keywords you heard asked for and research them with genuine interest. Then apply to few jobs you don't even care about and show genuine interest (or give your best shot at this). And just pay attention how they are reacting. You are not going for a job, just a research. It should be fun.

As a colleague, I wish you find your groove and job you will genuinely enjoy.
Regardless of whether China does it, bailing out the debtees and letting the debtor fails is what other countries should do in the future.
Maybe it’s centred on bigger companies? But anecdotally with colleagues, and based on my experience, they’re the norm.

I use Senju M705 alloy solder, it flows fine at reasonable temperatures and their newer flux formulations are less toxic. The development work on lead-free solder continues apace, so there have been a wider and wider array of low temperature lead free alloys on the market in recent years. This differs from the lead solder world a little in that there has only been three or four formulations out there since the 1950s.

Personally, I think a lot of the avoidance of lead free solder by hobbiests is based on unfamiliarity with it. Once you have spent significant time working with it you get used to it and can work with it well.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/amp/english/postulate

Postulates are inherently subjective. They are not put forward as truths, but as a basis of coherent logical reasoning, ie:

IF you accept postulate x as true,

BASED on logical reasoning y,

THEN you must logically accept conclusion z as true as well.

I didn't offer support or denial of the postulate - just that the logic applied thereupon is consistent and coherent.

I neglected to mention that duplexes don't have the mechanisms associated with single-family or apartments for dealing with the problems that they share with both.

I also should not have said that they're never the right choice. Some times the best choice available isn't that good, and isn't what you'd do if things were a bit different.

That's how people end up in duplexes. It isn't what they want, but it is the best that they can do at that moment in time.
> You also have to remember that the justification for the Russian invasion of Crimea was to protect the minority Russian population living in Crimea.

The only justification was to get votes in future president elections. We call this phenomenon "Crimea consensus".

If the state is responsible for paying your health bills, it should also be able to give you incentives towards a healthier lifestyle. Therefore, it should ban everything that may, given some level of consumption, cause addiction & physical or mental harm: cigars, drugs, alcohol, gambling, sugar & sweets, some medicines, social media & smartphones.

I can confirm that in my current area of interest (how to synthesize a cello or saxophone sound), there are hundreds of academic papers published over decades, each of them says "our method sounds more realistic than others", but code and audio samples are never available, and verbal descriptions always skip crucial details. I have no doubt that academics have a ton of expertise, but their output in paper form is basically unusable, I'm not sure it achieves any purpose besides resume padding. Reading a forum of synth hobbyists is a hundred times more useful.
I had that experience as well but with Tibia instead of Minecraft. It was essentially IRC with an embedded MMORPG. Everyone I knew played it. We'd gather somewhere to train our characters and chat. Good times. At some point I started hosting Open Tibia servers for my friends, even opened it up for strangers later. Lots of fun and was my first programming experience with C++ and Lua.

Don't know much about this industry but yes, it feels like one of those industries that sprang up because one person with money said, "Hmm, sounds like a good idea," and then other people with money and FOMO joined in. When this happens past a certain level you get a miniature innovation bubble (MIB)!

(At least MIBs are rather harmless, at least in the long run, and can actually yield some benefit: innovative people are drawn to these types of industries and inevitably create cool things as a by-product of their work.)
Didn’t I already respond to those points?

As I say the temperature they served coffee at hasn’t changed and has actually been tested to be ok in subsequent lawsuits in multiple countries. It’s the same temperature as served by other companies.

McDonalds weren’t required to change the temperature as the outcome but they did increase the size of the warning.

And at the end of the day how can any temperature of coffee be too hot? It’s a hot drink. It’s never going to be more than 100. Assume it could be that hot. Other hot drinks like tea have to be made with boiling water so are always served that hot.

I think a lot of people have a knee-jerk reaction to this story that McDonald's must be at fault, but when you look into the details that's not really the case. She even admitted she was at fault and she just wanted someone to pay her medical bills.
This is a good analysis. Personally, since somebody will inevitably have enormous power over my daily life anyway, I'd rather have it be corporations because they actually have to provide useful stuff to exist and the competition will keep them in check.

Unlike politicians whose first interest is getting elected and second getting reelected with any other concern at a huge distance away.

With all respect, I hope you don't have a lot of capital locked in this. Who is this company targeting? Google?

My company uses gRPC and it's an absolute nightmare but not so much to the point where we'd use a company like this to add on MORE costs to our infrastructure.

It baffles me people choose buzzword technology because "ex-googler" or whatever when 99% of companies that choose it will NEVER hit the scale it was meant for. Best of luck to the sales team. They'll be the driving force I'm sure.

REST is fine for 99% of companies. Long live REST.
That doesn't bring better incentives that bailing the debtor out: it still encourage to lend money recklessly.
Inflation is handled by superior spend side auto-stabilisers, like a Job Guarantee, and socially undesirable activities are done with levies and duties, not tax. The latter being a political position, not an economic one.

If you have sufficient saving in society , then you hardly need to tax at all - as Japan demonstrates.
Doesn't removing the risk from debtees still encourage reckless investing/lending?

That's because public transportation, as it's run today, is generally a pretty awful experience. In my own vehicle I'm going point-to-point, I can reroute for coffee or food, I can play the music I want, set the temperature to what I want, etc... Also, a big factor these days, using public transportation puts you in contact with a lot of people and your chances of picking up COVID are higher. Although, maybe by living in a high density area you have to accept greater risk during this and future pandemics.

Self-driving vehicles could change a lot of that. Every bus system could morph into something closer to a shared fleet model.

The web-based version of Zoom can do screensharing on Wayland just fine in Mozilla Firefox or Chromium. On Chromium based browsers, you need to turn on PipeWire WebRTC through the chrome flags mechanism (chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer).

The Zoom application needs to be adapted to work through the Wayland screencast portal interface to get things working properly (including sharing audio!). I've tried to report this to Zoom, but I'm not enough for them to realize it's a problem...

> China stole every single thing it had from the US. They have developed almost zero technology. (You could very nearly say the same for Europe, though they are less socialist than China and so have developed some things on their own - barely).

Is it useful to view corporations as old, slow AI? I certainly think so. Otherwise we get really confused about AI. Look at Zillow. That was a deep misunderstanding of AI— the product isn’t done until we take the humans out of the equation. No. What is intelligent is to have a system that uses its own measures of success to improve. This, by the way, is why cybernetics is so critical to understand in the context of AI design.

Taxes aren't an objective truth handed down from on high; so, in some sense, all taxes could be considered arbitrary. In this case, taxing one kind of wealth more than another is a lever the state has to (dis)incentivise certain behaviours and thus create a better society (although in some cases, you may fairly ask - better for whom?).
I can't speak for biomedicine, but speaking as an academic in CS the claim that "close to nothing of what makes science actually work is published as text on the web" looks like a huge hyperbole to me.

It's true that the so-called "folk knowledge", knowledge that exists in the community but no one bothers to publish in the form of papers, is a real problem, but at least in my field, it's by no means the majority of knowledge.

As someone from a peripheral university where you can't just drive a few miles and talk to the best in your field, I have successfully started in new subfields of study (getting to the level of writing research papers in top-tier venues) by reading the literature.

While this essay provides a very interesting point of view, I suspect it's heavily colored by the authors' failure to monetize the technology (which is related to the fact that people doing most of the grunt research work, who would benefit the most for this, are PhD students and postdocs who have no money to pay for it - in the text, the author hints at this). I wouldn't take it as an accurate description of academia.

Aside from the link already posted, MBTI testing provides an interesting slight of hand where it abuses nonspecificity. I can read myself into about 3 of the 16 archeotypes pretty easily, and I bet if you read descriptions of adjacent types you can too. The test has to be like that if it aims to categorize humans into just 16 categories anyway. The results, especially on 16personalities, is more about stroking your ego than anything else.

It's a horoscope for smart people, with slightly more utility.
Inaccuracy in the end is a HUGE component of this. If you can't have an accurate value for the land, the long-run incentives converge to a system where the land value assessors have a lot of power, and could use that power to screw you over.
I think if the author had listened to pretty much any post-doc/technician or senior researcher in the field who has had to review a number of publications they would have been told these things straight away.
I believe if enough people flag a story then this happens. And, sadly, it’s clearly the case that there are a large number of HN members who will flag stories that support a viewpoint at odds with the ideology that they favor, regardless of the quality of the story or the discussion, or its score. It is a way of doing ideological battle by abusing mechanisms that are supposed to serve another purpose.
I work in Hong Kong and I dont speak Chinese so I work only in heavily multicultural teams.

It's common belief around me the best teams are mono cultures, for instance a philipino team in my prev company, who all moved together to HK when we restructured, was extremely satisfied, spent all their time together and some couples even sprung up. Meanwhile the mexicano-hindi-chinese team next to them was miserable and my franco-pakhistani bi-cultured team was alright (even if we vomitted the odd Chinese teammate management would attempt to add once in a while).

It's not that people are actively racist/xenophobic, it's that you're very lonely if you dont have someone to share language, inside jokes, or even beliefs and values with.

I work in an enormous company now having around 100k employees all over the world with no choice but to mix. Well, the indians will work best woth other indians, all my chain of management is french and the Chinese keep to themselves nonetheless. It's insane this is not more explained / studied / accepted, or I havent looked enough.

Doing a good review is hard.

I've been reviewing a few C++ papers (things proposed to C++23) lately. Many of them are over my head and all I can find are a few spelling errors. The ones I've understood took me 3 readings before I found some giant holes in the details (which I pointed out to the authors, the next revision corrected them). In one case I actually started implementing the feature myself, and only then did I realize there was something ambiguous in the paper (after talking with the author we decided to document an implementors choices as it doesn't matter for the 99% use case, and the rest could go either way depending on hardware and data details so better to allow choice)

The vast majority if papers I'm far too laze to go into that level of detail on. I just assume the authors is a smart person and so I trustingly let them go. It may well be if I understood the paper I'd be horrified, ask me in 2043 when we have 20 years of hindsight...

I have to believe that peer review is the same - many reviewers are just reading and looking for something obvious but not really understanding details.
