>It is not as if China at some point will start to fall back

I never said they were. Also babysitting Chinese outcomes is another not-my-problem. There's a whole invasive inflexible CCP state control thing going on there who, by the way, claim it as their problem.

It's also not a feature for China to fall back to some pre-Deng era. Knowing what I care and don't care about it is not equivalent to hoping China fails. Certainly not. Maybe China will rock and roll. Maybe they fall in disinflation like Japan did starting somewhere around the 1990s, from which I'm not sure they recovered.

I am saying the west has got to do a better job at realizing what the end game is for China in some important areas. And know what our concerns are, and do a better job at holding the line. Here, in the US, "show me the discount! show me the cheap!" cannot be the last thing heard.

>Eventually we'll both need to rebalance price, jobs, security, and so on.

Good! I love it when people lay down a hard line. Hard lines are easy to bust.
You would need to provide a source for both those claims

First off, Qualcomm just spent 1.4 Billion on a design firm, for the purposes to bolstering the internal design team [1]

Then there is a 99% claim, is that by sales, volume, etc? Has I know many companies that design their own ARM processor that make up more than 1% of the market, Apple, and Samsung alone would refute that statement

As a long time foobar user, when switching to linux I only found quodlibet to be able to sort by multiple columns at the same time, quite buggy but kinda works, for a few days, then it resets for whatever reason.

Gonna install wine and foobar again sometime in the coming days anyways. this one won't even let me edit the date field as YYYYMMDD, apparently it's an invalid format, and I use it for sorting..
On a tangent, China aims to be a moviemaking powerhouse by 2035[1]. They want to have independence from Hollywood and foreign media influence on their culture. It's not just Hollywood they want to wean themselves from, but (South) Korean programming, among others, as well with their 'ban' on "effeminate men"[2]

>>"But the notions of sending a "message" to a "method" just was way way too handwavy for me."

This. I've felt like I haven't been able to keep up with commodity programming because I can't stand the way today's drivers (MSFT) control mindshare by emphasizing frameworks over mechanics. I feel like it's a people aggregation move instead of facilitating more creative solutions. The most enjoyable classes I had in uni were 370 assembler and all the Wirth language classes taught by the guy who ran the uni patent office.

I've done it, and it was one of the best decisions of my life.

WHERE: I'm Australian, moved to LA when I was 18 and lived there for 15 years. Then, I moved from Los Angeles to Germany (Duesseldorf), and then to Vienna, Austria.

WHAT SACRIFICE: No more In 'n Out Burger, no more decent Mexican/TexMex food, no more LA food trucks. These are literally the only things I miss about the USA. Literally every other aspect of life has improved massively by leaving the USA - healthcare, food, social life. For the first 4 years I walked to work, ffs. Now I ride a bicycle in combination with the best public transportation options in the world (Austria, Vienna).

GAINED: I've completely lost the brain-dead nationalist mentality that had infected me in my earlier life, I've gained Immense amounts of respect for humanity, I've learned German, I've experienced professional software and hardware development away from Silicon Valley standard practices, and I get to see the USA from outside the decadent, rose-colored bubble from which it is usually experienced. I honestly wish I'd left sooner - every time I go back I'm reminded just how much of a shithole the USA really is ..

Plus, living and loving in Europe is just great. There is no greater joy than a trip through the Balkans for a week adventure, or maybe a jaunt to Spain or southern France. Just being able to travel an hour in any direction and being immersed in absolutely foreign culture is a joy like no other. Definitely a great way to ground oneself.

EDIT: The weather was pretty good in LA. But, still: Americans.

> Pearce was quick to walk back the allegations by expressing her reluctance to discuss any specific films or games "because I’m so worried about getting sued by Tencent, but this is what I’ve heard — rumors. I’m not sure if any of this is true.” She however said that Tencent has “games that are out where they were like ‘yeah, that character needs to have bigger tits’ or ‘you need to make her skin lighter’ type of shit.”

Worthless article designed to spark outrage and clicks. Dont give them ad dollars
This is the case with almost all large scale human endeavors. To get things done with lots of people takes compromises. Apollo program was the same way. I assume the pyramids and roman roads and so on as well. Though to be fair at some point once the shuttle program got going someone could have aborted on it and said that really this doesn't make sense.

You restated the query; I was asking what it's about. Is it a query across publications? Or is it a query over news articles? That context changes everything: how the query is written, what it can be joined with, how it can be filtered, how it is used, etc. Putting the FROM clause first means that you immediately have context to understand the rest of the query.
The unemployment rate was lower in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019. It went up when the pandemic kicked in.

For the last 10 years it feels like almost every major American movie I've seen has been (co)produced by a Chinese group. It's definitely been clear where they're heading.
Anecdotally in my business I saw effectively no churn in employment through most of the pandemic. Hiring new people was also nearly impossible. Then, towards the end of last year a significant number of workers quit. Finding new people to replace them also was surprisingly easy.

I suspect a lot of people were afraid to move on to new opportunities for a while due to the uncertainty of the pandemic. Once enough confidence was restored, the job hopping we'd expect to play out over the course of a couple of years all happened in a few months.
Reminds me of the soviet nuclear false alarm where the fact that computers detected a single missile was important.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alar...

> Shortly after midnight, the bunker's computers reported that one intercontinental ballistic missile was heading toward the Soviet Union from the United States.

> Petrov considered the detection a computer error, since a first-strike nuclear attack by the United States was likely to involve hundreds of simultaneous missile launches in order to disable any Soviet means of a counterattack.

Now I wonder if one missile fired by a submarine would be similarly dismissed as computer error...
No idea, but yes I assume other missions managed to use the full capabilities once it was big!

Assuming this is true, that is not only tasteless, some would say evil (I don't really believe in evil, though), but above all: it's out of touch. Doesn't seem like good business, there's so much middle ground between cheap sex appeal and woke reboots. I don't see how this could be a reasonable response to the latter.

The article itself isn't exactly seeping with tangible details and sources, though. I don't think this is really telling us anything new.

You mean infringing, right?

It's not like anyone is denied property here. The conflict boils down to people doing things other people don't like / want them to do.

Once humans know how to do something, they know. It will spread, eventually becoming common knowledge.

Infringement is the right term here, and it's all about that spread, the timing, etc...
Very interesting details in here: a bunch of Canadians do have variable rate mortgages, but they've apparently been structured so that rate hikes just increase the life of the loan not the payments. The real problem is the massive amounts of property held by investors.

What the story fails to cover is how a rate hike would actually make life better for everyone too poor to buy a home.
> The article makes the point that people do not build fences for no reason.

Naturally everything that ends up happening has a cause and happens for _some_ reason; that's nearly a tautology. But I think the is that there are many things that don't happen for any _good_ reason, many often for bad reasons. And it's also common to find that the reasons for these things aren't discernible. Someone made a mistake decades ago, and now no one wants to correct it because there must have been a reason for it, but we can't figure out what it was.

Years ago I was the member of a local governing board, and there were many people there who thought that because we were part of a bureaucracy, we should act more bureaucratic. The more work we did, the more we required of other people, the longer the meetings, the more trainings for systems we'd never use, the better.

I remember one particular situation where another agency was asking our input about an application in our jurisdiction, and the chair told me to tell the applicant about all the extra paperwork they would need to file with our board. I contacted the agency the application was actually filed with, and they told me they already handled that, and they were only notifying us in the off-chance there were any special considerations in our district the agency needed to be notified of. As far as I could tell, the dozens of boards who oversaw other jurisdictions didn't have our additional requirement either. When I told our chair that the agency wasn't asking us for the additional paperwork, he replied "but that's how we've always handled this." At some point years before somebody on the board wanted to add additional paperwork (and it's questionable whether they actually had the authority to do this), and the rest of the board just mindlessly followed along for years.
Yeah, I just axiomatically disagree with this sort of control-obsessed, zero-sum thinking. Good ideas have always had to compete with other new ideas in addition with incumbent old ones. There is always an organizational challenge in addition to the technical one. If whatever you want to happen is threatened by Gemini, it's not good enough. If you want to wait until everyone else stops trying new ideas, please say hello to the heat death of the universe for me.

Then the fix is simple. Buy it locally or from a company from there. They might not care but then the local seller (amazon for example) is on the hook (in any country with a proper customer protection at least).
Examples include Isaac Asimov’s robots, Robert Heinlein’s rocket ships, and William Gibson’s cyberspace.” He called these examples hieroglyphs: clear, inspiring symbols of what a better future might hold.

William Gibson writing about a better future? That's not what I saw in his books, but great science fiction doesn't have to portray a better future.

In my opinion, great science fiction doesn't have to follow dogma, either. Some of the best works have ignored standard rules of "what makes great X", starting with HG Wells and up to the present day. Star Trek and Earthsea and Urth may not be great science, but they are truly fantastic fiction.

ETA: I also thought the condescending swipe at Andy Weir is unnecessary. He wrote one of the most inspiring stories in recent years about science and spaceflight ... yet it doesn't even count as science fiction? ("But whatever you call it, The Martian’s space-hackery certainly couldn’t have inspired anyone “to develop new technologies and implement them on a heroic scale.”) Seriously, an adolescent inspired by The Martian may very well be one of the first humans to walk on Mars and carry out important science.
> Progressives tend to be very dismissive of the Chesterton's Fence analogy, because they think change is an unalloyed good.

That's a bit of a strawman. One could just as easily argue that reactionaries in the USA don't want to admit why many fences were built.

That sounds kind of like a plan. Delay until something random happens.
I just changed jobs. For me it was my job pool increasing by 10x or 20x due to the normalization of remote work. It's also much easier to interview when you're WFH all the time.
Exactly my thoughts when I first saw the repo, it's just too much for me to be able to decide. A better approach I recommend is starting with an easy and interesting paper, reading it even if not in full, and then going through the references, which are sure to have some more interesting papers to read.

Aho-Corasick "Efficient String Matching: An Aid to Bibliographic Search", or Bentley-McIlroy "Data Compression Using Long Common Strings" are 2 such good places to start.

20 years ago, china hide 2nd network card that was in listener mode, transmitting documents at random times, mostly peek. This was at a research company. How it was discovered. We put a card on listening/prem mode and mirror everything for that subnet the printer was on. I thought I screwed it up with the double mirror/traffic.

when investigating why the issue, we found nothing wrong with the config, only when we plugged it to another network, we discovered it was something on the network. We narrow it down quickly to the printer. We told head of security (we were hired for an audit ) and it soon became known it was stealing trade secrets and sending them overseas.

that was 20 years ago, and till this day, I remember anytime someone says china doesn't steal technology... I remember this printer. this was done at the state level and was caught.
Wages are going to have to go up. House prices aren't going to come down, rent isn't going to come down, used car prices may come down but not to levels in the before times and only if new car prices don't skyrocket, food won't come down.

It's getting very expensive to meet the ends. Wages will have to go up. When ppl think things aren't fair, they revolt.

The Ecolitan series deals with post apocalypse scenario where the earth has been depleted, and people ride bikes.

Podman is probably your best bet, but it's not necessarily a drop-in replacement the way I think of "drop-in", at least. But you aren't necessarily getting a desktop app with Podman, so you may want to just try Docker cmd line first.

COVID probably hasn't had a major impact in that respect there are a total of 859,354 deaths in the entire country which is only 0.2% of the population, but of the working population it is even smaller than that as almost half of that is in individuals who are 75 or older and unlikely to be participating in the workforce dropping us to less than 0.14% of people being effected, or slightly more than 1 in 1000 people.

> There is data to back this up and it's not just a narrative.

The narrative is directionally correct. The issue is that the media (including NPR) has done everything they can think of to exaggerate it as much as possible. Once you look at the actual numbers it’s not the sea change we’ve been hearing about everywhere.

The data is being omitted because the omission leaves more room for imaginations to run with the headlines.
By your criterion, what Samuel Slater did was also immoral. Yet I'd argue it was actually for the common good. There's an argument to be made that most IP law itself is immoral as it grants monopoly rights whereas in most other context we recognize monopolies as naturally immoral. In fact, it goes against a very natural inclination to share interesting knowledge and stories.

IP law is an attempt to recognize that there's some value in granting limited term immoral monopolistic rights because it net produces a better result longer term. That doesn't mean that IP law itself doesn't open up an immoral land grab and is itself open to abuse. Similarly, we obviously recognize that the commitments themselves may be immoral & thus can be broken (e.g. marriage to an unfaithful spouse) or licenses with immoral clauses should be free to be broken (e.g. you can't sell yourself into bondage).

That's not to say that your experience isn't one where the other player was immoral. I'm just trying to broaden the horizon of the discussion beyond your personal story to how we should think about IP more broadly. It's nowhere near as clear cut as you make it and that illusion stems from how the Western legal and education systems work (which is a whole other topic - passing off another's work in education is "plagiarism" whereas if you do it literature it's "ghost writing").
If that happens, I typically will close Firefox and take a short break. Sometimes I will shut down my machine as well. Either way, its a win-win for me, my machine and Firefox. Everything seems better after that short break.
Hey! I'm back in the US but my wife and I moved from SF to Amsterdam for 3 years. We moved with our tech job there and ended up eventually quitting and doing our own company.

- Where do you live?
SF -> Amsterdam

- What's the biggest sacrifice you had to make (i.e. pay, housing, friends, etc.)
I was shocked when my HR department told me our salaries would pretty much be cut in half. I was also furious because I was going to be working remotely for the same team, doing the same work and would bring the same value.
We still did it, and honestly, I felt richer over there.
Housing is much cheaper both renting and buying. Groceries felt like no matter what we'd buy, it'd be 20E. Even after 3 years we'd be surprised at how cheap it is.
Activities, restaurants, etc are all much cheaper too.

We left a bunch of friend behind obviously but made friends there. Like most expats, mostly other expats through work and not a lot of locals.

Weather sucks.

No amazon and it sucks not to have it when you are used to buying everything and getting it the next day. Also, probably because of the amount of countries there are, buying things online seems to be shipped more often from other countries and the delivery times are usually longer.

- What have you gained?
As mentioned, despite /2 our salary, we felt much richer, much more comfortable. When we quit our jobs we felt comfortable not making a lot of money because even our mortgage there was cheap.
Working for a US tech company still put us way above the average income.
Also, like in most of EU, great healthcare and other benefits.

Amsterdam in particular is great for biking/walking, it's truly a very nice city except for the terrible weather. We still talk about how we miss our lives there, but would never move back because of the weather, especially compared to the bay area.

I think the TLDR of our experience was that EU was just more chill, more comfortable, a bit broader in terms of culture, less grind less work. I was so happy about where i'm at in Amsterdam, and as soon as we got back to the US, something, I'm not sure what, made me get back on that hedonic treadmill and grind again for more more more and more.

I'd recommend it :)

I can't answer all these questions, but I'm doing this right now. Moving from Denver, CO -> Berlin, Germany. I start in May. I'm taking about a 50% pay cut on paper (for a Senior Software Engineer position), although what's interesting is Berlin has a lower cost of living, and in particular rental prices are actually reasonable. My plan is for this to be a ~5 year thing, just because it would be hard to leave my family. I already know I'm going to miss gaming with friends online due to the time difference.
Yeah I'd be interested to see the examples too.
