A lot of it is tied in with local government. The central Chinese government inadequately funds local governments. The local governments close the funding gap by selling/leasing land to developers (often kicking citizens off their land without proper compensation). Chinese citizens buy the properties due to a number of cultural and financial factors. There is not much else to invest in. Savings interest rates are very low. Chinese citizens often distrust the local stock market due to corruption issues and shared memory of previous crashes. Ordinary Chinese citizens are not permitted to invest overseas. Local property is the only reasonable investment to many. Many of these properties are never even lived in. However Chinese citizens are going to stop buying eventually as property prices are already well into greater fool territory. When that happens, local government will be in trouble.
As a software engineer, I generally agree.

My partner is a corporate lawyer, though, and deadlines are a _big deal_ for them.
If the state controls funding it might as well be state-owned. Makes zero difference.
The example about the ever-increasing list of assignment requirements appears in many other domains than teaching. Think of the AirBNB with a fifty-page guide whose 'rules' are all thinly-disguised anecdotes about something that went horribly wrong. And I'm sure we've all seen business processes like this...

This ends up (somewhat) preventing asshole behavior at the expense of making life worse for all of the non-assholes. But in reality, assholes will find new and imaginative ways to be assholes, no matter how many specific rules are in place.

One hopes that better solutions are possible. In the teaching example, we could imagine keeping the rules broad and simple, and including a reward for any student who doesn't require 'special treatment' through regrade requests, etc. (I have seen systems where regrades include a grade reduction if no errors are found.)

In AirBNB, deposits and waive-able cleaning fees serve a similar purpose.
This seems to be a very broad definition of 'nuclear waste'. When I search for "waste" on that page, I find one incident, involving a waste furnace explosion (not the waste itself) and a second one in Russia in 1957 where a large amount of waste was released with no immediate fatalities, but possibly 200 later excess deaths. And, as the page points out, coal burning power plants emit (with little or no long-term "containment") 100-times as much radioactive waste.

The argument against nuclear power is safe disposal of the "waste", but, as the OP pointed out, it is hard to find any examples of deaths because of nuclear waste (there certainly have been more deaths because of accidents, but even here, coal mining/burning/waste disposal clearly is much higher risk, even ignoring CO2 output).

> far less deadly or harmful than the flu

% of severe cases even after vax is enough to overwhelm PRC medical system, especially in less developed regions, leading to potentially millions of death considering size PRC population and gen pop lack of exposure. Covid-zero is still preferable if it can be maintained, vaccines (including mRNA) have completely failed to contain spread of omicron, which doesn't leave many options except waiting for an even less deadly variant + mass produce and distribute treatment drugs to take pressure off medical system.

I'm guessing this is omicron catching up / experimenting with dynamic-zero now that Two Sessions is over.

Not that I'm super-familliar with Linux kernel development, but that's kind of a special project that has a benevolent dictator and worldwide interest from several industries willing to throw resources at it. I think what you said is sound, but I'm not sure how comparable the Linux kernel is to the way that most for-profit software firms are run. And maybe that says a lot about FOSS.

Most of the things drivers complain about - like unability to see the rides upfront and decline ones they do not see as profitable - do not require any advanced technologies. It is a managerial decision to make it so, not some technological advance that required "tech workers" to "build" it. It's like lamenting people learned to build houses because that also enabled building prisons. If you opposed to it, you can refuse to work for a contractor that builds prison, but blaming the whole house building technology makes no sense.

Yep. I think the only chance for embracing more nuclear would be to have smaller modular reactors that can be built on an assembly line. And while we're dreaming, moving to Thorium as the fuel.

I think the person you're replying to is saying that the document should be split across keys inside the implementation, i.e. split across the fdb keyspace, not split by the user at the application level. Which is the approach you mostly always have to use for 'large' values; FoundationDB has size limitations on the k/v pairs it can accept and splitting documents and writing those chunks in small transactional batches is the recommended workaround (along with some other 'switch over' transactional write which makes the complete document visible all at once.)

Electricity prices are through the roof in Finland right now. This was even the case before the war started. We import an incredible amount of LNG from Russia, a lot of which is used for electricity production if I have it correct, which we would of course like to be independent of. But for the time being we have spikes of 60-70 cents/kWh electricity prices. Hopefully OL3 will help this somewhat.

Finland has another nuclear power plant under construction as well... or at least we did, until the war started, now I don't know what will happen. Rusatom was supposed to supply the reactor for Hanhikivi nuclear power plant, which was also severely delayed.

Russia is also an important supplier of nuclear fuel to Finland.
> think that cheating is bad

I don't think that cheating is bad.

> recognize that it happens frequently,

Naturally. If you give people stupid chores they will almost universally try to find a way to avoid them.

> don't think that cheaters should be punished.

Even if I bought into everything else ie: that testing is good and cheating is bad, I would still not punish cheaters. As I said, I cheated that one time because I had other issues that made school difficult. Punishing would have done nothing except add additional stress, making me retreat further from my education. But of course, as I just said, I don't buy into all of that other stuff, so it's not only an ineffective and cruel way to approach education, but it serves no purpose.

> It's not clear to me what your point is regarding cheating.

My point is that most tests are stupid, and a lot of what "cheating" is is just making them less stupid. For example, I remember students would hide their notes during a test so that they could reference them. That's just good sense - in what real world situation do you need to have instant recall for arbitrary information? It teaches kids to memorize shit, which is damaging.

Two students checking each others answers? Sounds a lot like any normal adult problem solving.

So you can try to "tweak" the system until cheating is impossible or so scary that people will rarely try, or you can "give up" and let people cheat... or you can take a step back and realize that you've made up a problem with no solution.

As I said, school should focus on the three things I mentioned. Nonsensical testing strategies and finding ways to trick kids for doing what is, frankly, the sane thing to do, is purely damaging.

Notably:

- they now acknowledge that it wasn't unlawful for judyrecords to access (and republish) the records that were unlawfully published

- they talk about judyrecords using a 'unique method' to access the records; I'm guessing the method is something simple like 'incrementing an integer', and that they are trying to make it seem more mystical.
Don’t believe that for a moment. Crimea and parts of Donetsk etc already under their control and a limited incursion could have gained more territory at low risk.

Instead Russia faces huge economic penalties and stronger Ukraine-EU links are much more likely even if full membership doesn’t happen.
>Everyone involved in that activity ultimately understood that they were not participating in economically supporting the artist (or indeed, in any economic transaction at all).

I don't believe you can present this decision as independent of piracy and business model. The reason for Spotify's abysmal payouts compared to Apple's has to do with the _business model_. Advertising is an awful way to pay to content when it comes to music especially when you have to placate labels. You are making it seem Spotify just kept the money for themselves, when there simply wasn't that much money to go around.

>Rdio and Grooveshark are weird examples to pull in

I bring them up (and include Pandora) because they had the functionally the same business model; to appease labels by giving them advertising revenue. It didn't work because the revenue wasn't there.

>The primary reason you couldn't have pulled that off in 2008 was economic contraction, not piracy.

Spotify was founded in 2006; and launched in the US in 2011 (the same year Limewire shutdown). You could not have launched a successful, subscription only streaming service the year limewire shutdown. Your chart is a great resource - look how tiny the "On Demand Streaming (Ad supported)" revenue bar is; that is the "money pool" most artists are drawing from when they get paid from Spotify.

To summarize, Spotify's payouts are historically terrible and will continue to be terrible for as long as they continue to support their free product. The advertising market just isn't there, and all those free users depress the pay per streams that Spotify provides. Spotify's "price expectation" was driven by the fact they likely needed to launch with a free ad supported product or they would have never succeeded in the competition with piracy. Apple now enjoys only having to compete with Spotify, and not with Limewire, and doesn't have to offer a free product. With a much larger revenue pool to draw from, per stream, their numbers naturally look better than Spotifys.

The effects of piracy cannot be discounted; even Jobs practically built iTunes and the iPod on the backs of piracy.
This is too bad. I understand there is likely a ton of complexity in making this switch but I think it still leaves CouchDB with a frustrating problem which is document conflicts within a given cluster. Client <-> Server conflicts are very understandable but when you might unexpectedly get a document conflict from two server instances replicating with each other, you're just bound to run into a bunch of issues.

To have multi-master work properly you basically need Strong Eventual Consistency via CRDTs which most databases don't natively support (I think only Riak). Otherwise, you're better off switching to a single writer model.
It's regulations in general. Whenever someone complains about regs and red tape stifling innovation, it's generally that someone tried to game the system. "This is why we can't have nice things", etc

It drives me crazy that when we talk about gig workers acting in their best interest, it's "gaming the system" but when companies like Uber operate (read: manipulates) a market in their best interests, it's just SOP.

> I'm sure when Uber rolls out these new programs designed to make driver life better, people will find some way to criticize them

This is essentially a captive market and Uber's best interests are often not aligned with that of the drivers, as you perfectly detail above. As long as that remains true, there is always going to be valid criticism against this kind of model.
Why 15 years? You don't need to go futher back than to mid-February and see what they said about the invasion of Ukraine. Or even better, just a few days ago Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov said that there's no war in Ukraine. Trustworthy chap, no doubt.
>Denial of sovereignty isn't genocide

The denial of sovereignty here is just a tool to achieve the goal Putin openly declared in particular in his editorial and speeches - erasing of Ukrainians national identity. In order to achieve that goal he kills and displaces carriers of that national and ethnic identity, ie. Ukrainians, and that is genocide.

This is what Russia exactly does in Ukraine:

https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml

"
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

Killing members of the group;

Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

This is not to be read as a defense of car companies, or an attack on Americans:

Those cars are designed in other countries to be larger specifically for America taste.

Americans visit Europe and chuckle at the "tiny" cars, which are in fact perfectly appropriate for three children. And those cars were designed by the same companies for European standards.

To me, that reads as fetishization on a mass cultural level, and while you can point the finger anywhere you like that fact will remain at the core.

There is no justification, on a planet burning faster every year, for the ridiculously oversized cars Americans choose. None.

I don't think these skill lists are too demanding in scope. They're
too _specific_.

The list you give looks like a gamut of stuff an active dev would pick
up in about 7 years. But that list would likely not intersect with a
similarly competent engineer also with 7 years of experience.

On the other hand, a junior developer who needs just three or four
things, say; SQL, Python, Git, JS - would more probably intersect with
another junior role in a short time-frame of say 3 years.

So as engineers get older, and the list of things they've done gets
big, what is the likelihood it will match some specific subset in a
world that is advancing and expanding so fast?

After 30/40 years I can list over 20 languages I've learned. Truth is,
after about number 10 they're all more of the same thing and you start
to forget the details anyway.

When I've been the guy doing the hiring, I never put much weight on
exact matches because the probability of that intersecting with a
_specific_ senior candidates skills is practically zero. But I do take
note of _breadth_ of knowledge.

Honestly I'm really confused every time I try to understand Israel. Ordinary terms like citizenship, borders, immigration, and statehood are all in dispute. Then that makes it hard to define "democracy".

My ISP gives me a box that terminates the fiber and has ethernet on the other side. They also rent and sell routers that are configured to handle the pppoe and vlan settings needed for the WAN interface to this box. Plenty of routers can do this, and a dedicated Linux box like you are proposing should work, or you can throw a cheap managed switch in between if not. The hardest part is knowing what settings are needed (e.g. I had to call my ISP to ask for the pppoe password).

DSL standalone termination is still widely available, as are standalone DOCSIS cable modems.

Finding someone everyone likes is harder than finding someone who's good at their job, so the reasonable thing to do is to encourage the nice-but-useless person to do better rather than fire them and have the entire team demoralized by that event, and by the recruitment process, and the additional stress while there's an unfilled role.

In my experience improving someone's work is often really easy too - you just need to find something they like doing. Most people I've worked with who are "bad" are actually just bored.

The only thing LLVM has over GCC is the license for companies that don't like sharing.

I can enjoy most of C++20 on GCC, whereas good luck waiting for clang to reach parity.

GCC has more frontends and backends available in total than LLVM has yet to achieve, despite being "better".

One of the reasons for Rust-GCC existence is exactly the lack of support for the backends that Linux kernel doesn't want to compromise only to allow Rust into the kernel.
