People are tribalistic and end of the day whether you like it or not, the fact is that hundreds of millions of people (vast majority) are happy to live under ccp, just as {insert number} are happy to live under {insert country}.

We can try to convince ourselves this isn't the case, but I don't exactly see progressive programmers giving up their massive Big Tech salaries as protest. No, they're happy to support whatever corporate campaign sounds good to them while ignoring that the machines they build on are built with slave labor, or that their company willingly censors and bends the knee with countries where LGBT rights don't exist and women can't go out on their own. To me, it is the same kind of thing as the Chinese situation. People will do all sorts of stunts for their team, and never take an L for an external actor because why should they?

The best thing you can do is sit back and watch everyone argue (the best show that's live 24/7), while you enjoy a beer. Best case scenario you sell both sides something that they enjoy, so that you can enjoy your life.
If the vaccines don't prevent spread or contraction of the virus, why are people upset with him standing up against these pointless vaccine mandates?
But with fewer laborers, there are fewer consumers. There isn't a fixed amount of work and a variable number of workers, they scale up and down together. Again, this is the lump of labor fallacy.
Care to expand on that?

The premise of this article is that Intel was intimidated out of mentioning Xinjiang and instead opted to list categories of practices to be excluded from its supply chain.
Why is it not appropriate to discuss the ways Intel and other US companies are already beneficiaries of some of those practices?

What a weird take, but I do enjoy you make it, because it proves my point:

From your perspective, it is a simple mechanism. People speak the same language, so they must hang out together.
As I already explained, Game Theory can be good to check these naive inferences. Indeed, I have given some examples where results are counter-intuitive (but then obvious, once we understand the mechanism). Schelling is one: You'd think that if people prefer a diverse group of friends with only a little homogeneity, you'd never see a segregated society.

In the case of college groups, the hint was that sometimes we get these cohesive groups, but other times we don't. And yet, each year, students speak the same languages and arrive in comparable amounts.
If what you said was true, there'd be no such variation. Something else might be going on.

In any case, I want to be clear here that trying to understand "strategic interaction", the effects of complex inter-dependencies and their sometimes counter-intuitive results, is not a justification for morally or ethically unjustified behavior. Even if it can certainly be used in that way.

Indeed, in my frequent posts on mechanism design, you will see me fiercely criticizing our lax and relaxed treatment of how companies vaccuum in more and more data and develop better and better models to work around information asymmetries and appropriate consumer welfare.
I happily take an even more interventionist stance when it comes to issues of segregation, sustainability and inclusion.

Not sure if you were accusing me specifically, but better let this be said.
I don't think putting up km2 of solar in the Sahara will solve the problem. You just can't ship electricity that far. We're at the point where we need to build any and all green power supplies as much and as quickly as possible if we want to get past this.
PHP in 2022 has much going for it, the only dark clouds on the horizon is the increasing framework oligarchy within the PHP community, which may reduce innovation and foster a "one size fits all" culture.

The older I am, the more I am convinced academic achievement has little to zero correlation with wisdom. He may be good with the former and knowledgable in certain domain. But lacking on the latter.

> When has such a gargantuan expenditure of time and resources ever produced the promised second-order benefits that outweigh the lack of first-order benefits?

Pretty much all space programmes prior to the commercialisation of space. We're only at the start of that, too: today imaging satellites and internet connections, tomorrow potentially heavy industry, solar power generation and mineral extraction. Who knows what else.

If we count the commencement date of that investment from 1960 or so, and assume the start of real returns on that investment hasn't arrived yet, the main second order benefits of space research and the associated feats of engineering will have taken 60+ years to appear. By the time any of the applications I mentioned above are realised, we might be at 80 or even 100 years.

Some things just take a really long time. I haven't studied ITER or any other fusion tech, but long timelines don't mean things aren't worth it. They can deliver things iterative processes might be unable to do.

Lastly, if you're concerned about the money going to the wrong place, it might be better to start with fossil fuel subsidies - diverting these to clean energy production and research would speed the transition immensely.
Can we, just for a minute, acknowledge how ridiculous this is? Blaming an app for teenage actions? Groups of teenagers have formed a clique over the color of their messages. Oh well. If it wasn't message bubble color it's going to be, and has been, many other things. Teenagers are idiots when it comes to trying to form some sort of superiority over their peers. For many of them, their value comes not from the skills they are able to learn and utilize but from an arbitrary distinction that is somehow able to be spun as socially more desirable.

To be honest, I feel sorry for these kids whose parents capitulated and bought them a second smart phone instead of trying to teach their teenager that the color of a text bubble doesn't matter and if the people they are associating with are going to place superfluous value on it then maybe it is time to look at spending time with other people.
Yeah not sure why anyone would use PHP nowadays, you can be as productive and more efficient in Go.

Plus you can build just about anything with Go! Whereas PHP is pretty strictly for web development.

It really does read that way. How are you (the customer) spending so much money with them (Google) but you're using these words? Wild times indeed
Did you miss "which happened at lower rates at factories than the general public"? Or do you just want to imply that people who point this out think that suicide doesn't matter?
Point A is a simplification.
Point B is irrelevant. If you think it's bad it doesn't matter when it's done. Or will you say that in a few years what you think is bad that this developer has done is no longer bad? This is flawed reasoning.
Point C you're sugar coating it. He initially was denied and given the run around and only after making a sufficient fuss was he deemed worthy of a warranty extension. How many others weren't? It's the same thing in american healthcare where insurance companies will "Accidentally" deny coverage a few times for certain things just to get the less persistent people to give in and not bother fighting for what they're owed.

But here's the real context on Point A since you don't want to actually look into it further and most outlets aren't going to bother doing it either. Once Google realized what was happening, well, it kept happening. They were pushing these OTA updates in some cases with 0 user intervention. Not to mention you're taking the comments out of order. That specific commenter had his device bricked multiple times. Why don't you quote that part of his dialogue?

Maybe you should ask why devices would be bricked in the same way multiple times?

Not sure about the chromebook, but that iPad is probably ~8 years old. I have a laptop that’s older than that, and I’d be pretty annoyed if the internet was irrevocably broken on it. This is an interesting argument for general-purpose computers over specialized, user-friendly ones (iOS, chromeOS).

Personally, I’d rather buy my grandma an iPad every 5 years for the rest of her life than try to teach her how to use a general-purpose computer, but that’s not a reasonable solution for everyone.
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s comment in his famous letter from Birmingham Jail: "One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws."

It's up to ever single individual to interpret what is just and what is unjust, with all its consequences.

I, personally, find that the restriction is stupid, doesn't bring any benefit, and would have no problem to completely disregard it on a moral basis, if I had no fear of consequences.
> I agree the jingoistic CCP-controlled Chinese media does not depict Americans or whites with respect and tact. That's a problem. But it doesn't make it OK for the American media to do the same.

The problem is that it's a zero sum game and who wins is just as important as moral correctness. If China is able to turn the narrative against the US and enable authoritarian regimes and censor US companies and tech, what does it matter if we're the "good guys"? If we lose a war of culture, will our children see ourselves as doing the "right thing"? History books are are written by the winners, after all.

Contemporary Chinese ideas would see your point of view as weak, just to put that in perspective.

International relations is a dirty world and the power struggle is real.
I play Christmas records at Christmas for the aesthetics.

The most annoying thing actually (other than that records scratch easily and literally degrade a bit every time you play them) is that each side of a 33 1/3 RPM record only has a few songs... but perhaps that's part of the charm

I don't see why - assuming that we actually manage to make power-positive fusion, there's no question that it would be much "greener" than nuclear fission, without the need to deal with spent fuel and without the accident contamination risks.
IIRC these concepts are more relevant in a service-based economy.

In the Middle Ages, _land_ was the primary source of economic value. Fewer people means more land per person, therefore more wealth per person.
In 2016 "22% of Serbian citizens who had contact with public institutions included in research (traffic police, public health, educational system, courts - civil litigation, public services that issue official documents, departments responsible for social welfare), had paid bribe at least once in the previous year."

More pointless pedantry: PCR only works on DNA, so if you want to test an RNA sample, you’ll need to translate it into DNA first before amplifying it.
It completely changed the balance of power between landholders and peasants. Peasants started being able to actually negotiate on wages (to a degree that was revolutionary at the time), which also drove a market for capital and artisan goods. The merchant class exploded.

Landlords also started dumping money into development of labor-saving tools, which happens when most of your supply of free bonded labor suddenly dies off.

Pretty huge multi-faceted impacts.
> the one 21st century company that is actually doing audio well

I strongly disagree with this. You don't own your speakers which are completely dependent on manufacturer which can brick them permanently on a whim. Fuck that and fuck Sonos. That is not a definition of 'doing audio well in 21st century' in any meaningful sense.

As for audio quality, there are companies making better sounding products that allow you to do whatever you want with their products and usually for much/at least a bit less.

In that case I would argue that one shouldn't use North Koreans either. Though I honestly do feel this way. Sci-fi and fantasy give you this escape mechanism where you can talk about these issues without making it about race (well at least race in humans). We know Ender's Game and Starship Troopers are Cold War era books about Russians without them saying Russians or depicting them. There's a requisite maturity needed to read between the lines that hopefully one is able to distinguish between countries and races, despite correlations, by that point.
A few cursory searches tell me pretty quickly that mRNA vaccines have been in use and studied for decades, including for diseases such as the flu, rabies, Zika, and CMV. So it would be hard to call it "completely new". And those decades of study have not shown long term effects either.

It's insane to me that SaaS providers are trying to productize data encryption at rest on their platform. How is that my responsibility as a customer? I'm paying for a seat license.
I agree with the sentiment, but you don’t have to attribute human characteristics to animals in order to make the case that this and much else of our contemporary relationship with nature is inhumane (meaning: against human nature).
Those targets themselves represent varying levels of interest and returns. The distribution of these is all but certainly a power law or Zipf function itself.

That's not to say we'll run out of interesting things to look at. Only that there is in fact a case of diminishing returns and interest.

But yes, space is big. And there's much in it.

You seriously don’t think the US has an interest in impressing the rest of the world with its military might? Why do you imagine we keep building aircraft carriers?
When there is fixed amount of capital (crops, land, gold coins in short time scale), the amount of work is fixed.
I'm not sure how this would help people to fix this device as the laptop is being sold only to educational entities in bulk. Normal users won't be able to buy. Most people can't fix these since they belong to schools and the schools probably won't spend money on fixing these.

"The Linux kernel", in this analogy, doesn't also own a major cloud platform and/or device ecosystem and/or top ranked websites.

A lot of things once explained seem obvious, but clearly weren't or they would have existed before.

I like to explain it as similar to wheels being circles. Of course that is obvious once you see a circle shaped wheel, but the insight to do that in the first place is the novelty element.

Similar advances are happening in every little niche industry and novelty implies non-obvious.

I've always said this: setting up a base on the moon initially would be a lot better than going all in on Mars. Not only for mining and a refueling station but also to optimize living off-world.
The fuel is an interesting point - I gather it comes from former French colonies, mostly. Do you know if this is true? And if so, what are the conditions of the workers and the impact on the economies of countries where the extraction happens?
I’m curious, where did you get those pre-commit configs from? I’ve seen many projects use pre-commit, and all of them use https. From what I know, pre-commit’s documentation also only provides examples with https repos, not git:, from pretty much Day One. It’s probably a good idea to tell whoever created the config to fix their materials, for more than this particular reason.

The nerves from the rest of the body are needed to tell these cells "we need more oxygen, beat faster" or "sleepy time, beat slower".

The point of the brown out is to help people find cases where they’ve missed this. So “opt out by doing it beforehand” isn’t a viable solution.

The last brownout was a quarter ago. A lot of new things can get introduced in that time that still do it wrong.
