Daring Fireball [1] has another passage from the article which is illuminating with regards to any promises Apple makes about how it will resist governmental pressure to compromise its products, vis-à-vis Apple's CSAM scanning tool.

"Sometime in 2014 or early 2015, China’s State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping told members of the Apple Maps team to make the Diaoyu Islands, the objects of a long-running territorial dispute between China and Japan, appear large even when users zoomed out from them. Chinese regulators also threatened to withhold approval of the first Apple Watch, scheduled for release in 2015, if Apple didn’t comply with the unusual request, according to internal documents.

Some members of the team back at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., initially balked at the demand. But the Maps app had become a priority for Apple, so eventually the company complied. The Diaoyu Islands, when viewed in Apple Maps in mainland China, continue to appear on a larger scale than surrounding territories."

Apple has, and will, fold to government pressure faster than a lawn chair.

If there is selective pressure to increase resistance, resistance increases over time.

If there is not selective pressure to increase resistance... nothing. There is no pressure to change anything relating to resistance. It could increase. It could decrease. It could stay the same. There is no reason to expect anything in particular about it.
I think it depends on how drastically wrong the group is and if the which sets of individuals in a group that gets attracted to it based on around an idea, mission, value, etc.

Like for example, as soon as meme stocks dive in the next recession, most likely the reddit groups based around this will fall apart because the idea that meme stocks are a great way to make quick money will die.

I think the shape of the group changes, those with more deeply held beliefs about a group will stay and perhaps "regroup", but for most, who get attracted to a particular group for no clear first principles, they will leave and from their perspective, the group has definitely died.

But to use the meme stock example above, those who were in the group because of deeper beliefs that meme stocks signal a shift in retail trading and the rise of the consumer need for financial independence early on tied to the lowered barriers of financial transactions thanks to the internet, they will regroup.

Ok back to work
This post broke the site guidelines badly. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules in the future, we'd be grateful.

Edit: also, could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments generally? You've unfortunately been doing that repeatedly, and we're trying for something else here.
States require administrators by definition and administrators require food surplus or they would starve. I know there were some hunter gatherers who had small food surpluses but I dont think there was anything that could remotely be called a state

"The Group" was the Tokugawa Shogunate, a group of Samurai who were leading Japan from the 1600s through the mid-1800s.

Some of the Samurai remained pro-Shogunate (the old system of power). The others were pro-Imperialists (Emperor Meiji, Prime Ministers, Bi-cameral house, etc. etc., and other such modernizations).

It was the group that tried to stay on the old Shogunate / Samurai system that lost. In part, because the pro-Imperialists were some of the most powerful samurai of Japan (such as Ito: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%C5%8D_Hirobumi).

In the end, people largely acknowledge the forward thinking of Japan's samurai class. The samurai largely convinced other samurai (through the old system of war / killing each other), that the new Imperial system was better. Turns out that Samurai were still good at fighting, even if they were fighting to remove themselves from power.

------

This is a group that fully acknowledged the inefficiency of the 1600s-era system of government and Feudal territories lorded over by Samurai / Noble warriors.

The pro-imperialist Samurai themselves led the revolution to create a new system of government, industrialization, and open up trade with the world. Yes, even if it meant ending the Samurai powers of old.
I was just thinking this morning that Intel segments their market by the class of person that is their customer.

"You're a consumer, you don't need error correcting memory! Only the upper class, I mean... your superiors... err.. sorry, enterprise customers need that feature. It's reserved for them, it is not for the likes of you."

Meanwhile AMD basically sells silicon by unit area. It's like buying gelato at the ice cream shop. You can ask for one scoop, two scoops, or three. You get to decide how hungry you are, that's it. There isn't a flavour with broken glass in it[1] served only to the working class stiffs, and with the glass-free gelato reserved only for the gentry.

[1] This is pretty much what a CPU without ECC is. It randomly crashes and corrupts your data. Look. Not every bite of ice cream has glass in it! There's very little glass in the ice cream. It's super rare, and Intel Pty Ltd tells you that this is an acceptable amount of risk for you to take, because you aren't as important as other people.
I'm not educated well enough to really agree or disagree with your idea that we should be adding several orders of magnitude to the estimation.

But I did encounter this article a while ago here on HN.

There are plenty of OG bitcoiners who interacted with Satoshi, and there are plenty of things that Satoshi wrote-- and wright's actions are strong contradictions to Satoshi's writing.

For example, drawing a parallel with advent of personal access to strong encryption Satoshi described Bitcoin as creating money that was "secured in a way that was physically impossible for others to access, no matter for what reason, no matter how good the excuse, no matter what". When people on the forums asked about people losing their keys, Satoshi responded "Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone.".

By comparison, Wright has filed a lawsuit against a dozen current and former Bitcoin developers (including myself) demanding that they backdoor the software they distribute so that he can take coins he claims to have lost (but, in reality, really obviously never belonged to him)-- or if they fail to collude with him, he demands they pay him $7 billion dollars in damages.

But one need not get tied up in archeology. Wright has provided many different kinds of firm disproof. For example, ordered by federal court to enumerate his 2013 Bitcoin holdings under threat of a contempt charge-- wright provided a list and as soon as that list was made public the owners of thousand of bitcoins included on it produced digital signatures attesting that the coins were not owned by wright and that wright is a fraud.

It’s dysfunctional on purpose. Media is busy with identity politics and trumpism, no checks and balances with efficiency of the government. Doesn’t bring in the clicks. Local media is extinct so local municipalities get a free pass.
That’s the thing though, USDT isn’t a currency - it’s a stable coin pegged to the USD. They can’t “print” more without getting more USD to back it up.
I didn't demand that. This is about comment/thread quality. There are certain kinds of post that reliably lead to much lower-quality discussion, and those are the kinds we ask people to refrain from; generic ideological tangents (and generic tangents in general) are a case of this.
Ex-YC startup employee: Most of my equity was in the form of refreshers
In a reasonably modern terminal, tab completion makes it a lot less typing than it appears.

The other thing is that idiomatic PowerShell takes a "Python perspective" that scripts are often read way more often than they are written and the best, idiomatic examples often use the most verbose forms of names to make things clearer to read.

PowerShell has a very rich aliases system with many, much shorter names for almost everything (and the ability to define your own to your heart's desire; and the ability to list which aliases are active on a current system), and you absolutely can code golf PS1 commands down into very bash-like lines. Most PowerShell veterans tend to write extremely terse stuff at the REPL even when in scripts and online documentation they try to stick to the idiomatic verbosity for others that need to read the scripts and understand what they do (even sometimes themselves months or years later).

We've seen articles about Qualcomm and AMD shifting to Samsung and away from TSMC. Some of Qualcomm's new processors are already moved over to Samsung. The 780G and 888 are already on Samsung's 5nm process. I don't think AMD has moved things, but we've seen articles about it noting how Apple is getting first-access to TSMC's latest processes.

> One is even completely obsoleting a line of products that was previously being manufactured at TSMC

That sounds a bit odd. AMD/Qualcomm products basically obsolete themselves very quickly. People generally aren't looking to buy a Snapdragon 855 from 2019. They'll either be buying the 888 or one of Qualcomm's cheaper lines (like the 700 or 600 series). It seems weird to prematurely obsolete something given that it's likely on a process that you already have enough TSMC capacity for. I mean, clearly I could be wrong. Maybe Samsung offered them something to do that and move things over faster.
I imagine you mean T and B, respectively?
Thanks for the explanation, this makes me profoundly sad and is completely absurd. They call it "minting" which I actually thought was a neat way of putting the image itself on chain which can't be deleted and is permanent, so people spending crazy amounts of money can at least have the piece of mind that what they've bought is immutable. This shouldn't be considered an NFT at all.. imagine if bitcoin was just linking to a bank transaction. In fact- a definition of NFTs: "unique digital asset that is not directly replaceable with another digital asset" - swapping the results of the URL would invalidate this. What is the actual point?
IMO #2 takes the cake (rest is all icing)
They are - if people buy in for the get rich side more than the “this will help me” side?

Long-lasting original antigenic sin is well documented at least for dengue.

"Original antigenic sin has the advantage that a response can be rapidly mobilized from memory. However, the downside is that in some cases, such as dengue, the response is dominated by inferior-quality antibody. In influenza, original antigenic sin has been shown to reduce the effectiveness of vaccination (13, 34, 51). In dengue, the effect of original antigenic sin has considerable bearing on vaccine strategies. Once a response has been established, it is unlikely that repeat boosting will be able to change its scope, meaning that balanced responses against the four virus serotypes will need to be established with the first vaccine dose."

You think I'm saying "don't be different for any reason." What I'm actually saying is "don't be different without a good reason". Python for example has been criticized for the breaking changes in version 3, which caused a lot of problems for the community, arguably without a good reason.
This is what I'm also wondering. What is the point of making a contract in the first place if the price quoted is not binding? If the provider needs more material or manpower or whatever than expected, then it should be their fucking problem and not the clients. The possibility of unexpected stuff happening should, of course, also be taken into account in the initial price quote since the provider should be much better at estimating the probability of something happening than the client.
There is either less of it, but more likely so much other stuff now.
and the pedos have evolved to better hide it.

There is a lot of really sick shit out there.

In the simpler times of a much smaller web,
pedos were not very cautious and you could come across it
whilst just looking for regular pr0n.

From what I read you can still find some with a tiny bit of work,
but most of it exists in closed forums and other methods of private
sharing.

A somewhat similar quandary relates to a Norwegian black metal band
(some say they started the whole thing, others not).
They were a troubled bunch of men.
There is a movie about them (Lords of Chaos).

Anyways skipping over most of it, the singer in Mayhem, the first one,
went by the nick Dead, his real name was Per Yngve Ohlin. (from Sweden).
He blew his brains out quite literally with a shotgun. (1991)

When band member Euronymous (Varg Vikernes, now Louis Cachet) discovered Dead, being quite dead with a big mess, he ran (or drove) to a nearby gas station and bought some disposable cameras.

He then documented the scene with a series of pictures.
(Allegedly he also collected skull fragments)

These pictures are gruesome.

The family of Per Yngve Ohlin (Dead) has attempted and struggled to have
the images of their dead family member removed from the net.
They have been unable to do so.
It always pops back up.

(One of the photos was used for a bootleg (I think) release as the album cover)

This is such a small, limited event, but getting rid of them is near impossible.

The scope of getting rid of all horrible photos on the net is vast and, I think, nearly impossible today.

I imagine the laws and the infrastructure changes required to better be able to remove offensive / illegal / violent / gore material from the Internet would be so pervasive that it would destroy what we have today.

(Plus whatever would move to some other platform)
or its for similar reasons rewriting existing software can take so much time and money. It's way easier to build a subway (or software) when you don't have to worry about the existing needs of the customer or people who live in or around the area.

Yep, and it's likely that China is the only place they could actually manufacture their products. China isn't the cheapest place to make things anymore, and it hasn't been in a long time - that's been supplanted by Bangladesh, Vietnam, etc. It's even within spitting distance to manufacture in the US.

Companies manufacture complex electronics products in China because everyone manufactures there. The skills are there, factories are there - but most importantly, the supply chains are there. You can drive a truck from factory to factory to pick up all the pieces you need. Then drop the truck off at Foxconn. They'll make the products and you can put them back into the truck and drop them off at the port or rail yard.

That's not something you can just replace overnight.
Kotlin with Vert.x or Spring Boot depending how complicated things are in the backend. Spring can boost your productivity if you really need it. Vert.x gives you more control, but you will have to write more code. Java is also an option, but Kotlin is simply nicer.

When it comes to FE, I don't touch that anymore. I did some react and old angular in the past, but it was more like an obligation... I don't "feel" the community, or how complicated things have become.

For programs that are closer to the hardware or operating system, I feel quite comfortable in C (not C++).

For scripting, data visualization, and anything math related I use python. I usually end up having one big script, terrible written that works.

When it comes to databases, I pick mariadb because I have the biggest experience with it and it didn't disappoint me. From the NoSQL land I've tried the most popular ones, and I had good interreactions with redis, and the elk stack.

I've tried to love Go and Rust... I still try, because some companies I follow and have interesting projects are using them. But it's more like a long term goal to learn rust.

I believe my stack is boring, if not boring conservatory.
More or less, in this case apparently there is no server setup. In your case you probably have to configure a wireguard server and forward the router port. Here is just using a public stun google server for discovery

This video may be useful for teaching kids arithmetic intuition from non-traditional angles, including for negative numbers. E.g. the double-rack-pinion adder and especially the X-Y rack multiplier.

Multiplication is typically modeled using repeated addition, or surface areas. But when negative numbers are involved, it may be unclear. You can stick to areas if you have a Cartesian plane where the upper left and lower right quadrants are understood to contain negative area. But that may seem arbitrary, requiring explanations that seem like hand waving if you don't already have an intuition for it. The mechanical multiplier replaces hand-waving explanations of sign with a waving arm that clearly reverses slope under the right geometric conditions, to produce a positive or negative number.
In my experience with construction projects, legal costs and liabilities take the cake. Once something is in court, there is zero telling how long and how much money it takes to resolve.
Once the US had railroad companies that laid rail at a mile per day (mostly crap rail, but enough to count), that was when the incentives were all aligned, and a huge amount of resources were mobilized and ready to deploy.

Once the US pulled of the completely absurd task of putting a man on the moon and then returning him safely to earth, in less than a decade. All the incentives were aligned, it had public support, and a huge amount of resources were mobilized and ready to deploy.

We're not deploying huge resources on our infrastructure projects, we're piecemealing them. I've got a branch rail line going in at the end of my street. [1] The public input/planning process went on for years, and only now are they starting to relocate utilities, put up fences, etc. There's no one entity in charge of all the layers of the project, it's all hired contractors and inter-agency cooperation. It will be done, likely in 3 years or so. This line is a total of about 9 miles long for about $945 Million.

The worst part about it for me is the insidious nature of the funding they're using. They're doing "Tax Increment Financing" which means that any increase in property tax revenues theoretically caused by the "improvement" of my house go to pay off the construction bonds.

Let's say there is NO improvement, but inflation doubles taxes in the next decade. The town now gets the same dollar amount, but half of the funding it used to get, and the rest goes to the bond holders. This will strangle our schools which depend on local real estate taxes.

PS: Just across the state line is a defunct Country Club, which is in close enough to the station to qualify for "TIF" improvements, and the husband of the local State Representative pushing for the project, just happens to be the a real estate developer interested in said property.

That's funny because something similar happened to a friend of mine. He was the only biochemist in a class that was mandatory for med students. It was about drugs and their (side) effects. The professor was so happy that there was at least one student in the room who could answer his (mostly rhetoric) "why" questions, while the other students were just memorizing.
