This is an oft-repeated meme that doesn't align with the historical facts. TSMC is a distant secondary factor in the geopolitical competition over Taiwan, which is a continuation of the Chinese civil war that started in 1927 and has never officially ended.

If TSMC didn't exist, or was located in e.g. Vietnam, Taiwan would still be a vital strategic asset in Washington's stated policy to contain Communist China (as part of the "first island chain" [1]). There would still be a geopolitical competition without TSMC.

Correct. Genius Bar folks are not hardware-repair folks.
very cool site.
I have two question/request:
-Can you make an api to acces all of the data from the website?(Possibly for free, because I'm cheap)
-I live in Europe, I tend to look more about the European stocks, and even the european equialent of the same stocks. Is it possible to make them work,too? For example APC.DE for Apple and TL0.DE for Tesla.
That one is a little bit simplified, and as such is very close to something like D'Nealian which is what I learned in school. Technically in Spencerian the letters "d", "t", and "p" have the same basic stem height and are somewhat shorter than other full-height lower case characters. Basically instead of two heights for lower case letters, you get three.

But adapted into business script AFAIU the simplification into two heights, and the shrinking of the "p" stem, is pretty common. I'm definitely not used to making "p" taller than "q" and I am not always consistent about it.
I have an OP-1 and love it. Its a mainstay in my recording and live performances and honestly my "main" synth despite it looking like a toy. I keep finding new uses for it. Example: I needed backup vocals for a part and none of my bandmates could do it. I sampled the backup vocals and just play them while I sing lead in that spot. Really cool.

As for this mixer, I would love this bit of gear but I just can't justify spending that kind of scratch for what essentially amounts to a mini mixer (which I already have). It seems really great though and it being battery powered and tactile like that is great.
Here's the thing. Phones fucking suck. Anyone can call anyone, and that's insane. It's like the phone book, it's a dated concept that just does not scale.

Phone numbers as a proxy for "who is calling me" is terrible. Numbers change, numbers can be spoofed, numbers can be stolen. All identification that happens via a phone is fundamentally bad and it is only getting worse.

The trick is, don't use phones. Really. Block every number that isn't someone you know, for starters. If someone calls you and it's a bank ask them to contact you via email, and only use the phone to confirm what has already been discussed via email - for example, if you are performing a wire transfer, initiate that via email, and if you confirm information via the phone never offer any information, just validate what they say.

This issue is so common and pervasive that, as the author demonstrates, we just assume everything is horribly broken and when something is suspicious we just think "well, everything's horrible, so why wouldn't this be horrible?".

"Silly but plausible" - this is the cost of security theater. I have to jump through hilariously stupid loops sometimes.

But ultimately I blame phones being used as proxies for identity.
the pandemic and its effects showed that the cost benefits of globalization are beaten by the national security benefits of onshoring. i think we will see more critical manufacturing, even at great expense, move back to the u. s.

It’s a credit union called Trumark.

On a related note - it appears to me that credit unions are no longer what the conventional wisdom said they are either - a small community and customer-minded institution.

In practice - I frequently see them being bought up or transferring management and resembling the national chains in how they operate more and more. Not sure what the difference is to be honest.

CVE-2022-21449: easily exploitable unauthorized read/write to critical data
>"Color gradients are supposed to be equally bright around the midpoint"
>This is false. Nobody mandates this.

That's just because their wording is imprecise. If you replace color gradient with "perceptually linear hue gradient", which I think is strongly implied, then that would be 100% correct. Hue is a color coordinate completely independent from others like lightness, in a perceptually uniform color space.

But you're on point - there's no right way to do it. Not because of it's a matter of taste or something (it's not). Problem is, there's currently no perceptually uniform color models! All models are uniform in some range but fail in various scenarios; human perception is still largely unexplored. As a result, getting it "equally bright" in different viewing conditions with varying intensities is an impossible task, especially when you know nothing about viewing conditions. You have to narrow it down to "good enough in common scenarios". Models like OKLab are trying to do exactly that.
Yes! At our company, we're currently building our backend infrastructure solely in Serverless Stack (https://serverless-stack.com/). It provides some nice higher-level constructs and build processes for serverless infrastructure while still allowing you to use everything else CDK has to offer. It's been a joy to work with and at this point I wouldn't want to build infrastructure any other way.

Indeed. It only takes 5 minutes to figure out that staying with Lightning serves Apple's existing customer base better than an arbitrary stupid change to USB-C, which offers basically no advantages to iPhone users and a lot of disadvantages.
I'm sorry, it's difficult to take your responses in good faith. You first start by saying that you can only meaningfully measure violent crimes and burglary, which I pointed out were the measurements in the citation. Now you say that those don't matter and that petty crime has increased based on gut feelings. But by your own claim that's impossible to measure accurately. You put me in a spot where you've said that no data would be convincing to you. I think that's the end of this conversation then.
This is one of the nice things with credit cards. I've never had an issue with a chargeback, and in the case where a card was stolen the charges were just reversed.

No there’s usually language that it’s triggered once and that there are no other shareholder rights plans currently in effect. And since the plan states the price at which shareholders are entitled to purchase shares whether or not it was triggered “again” would kind of be a moot point because the price wouldn’t change and there are only so many authorized shares.

And also it’s a silly hypothetical (even for a hypothetical) because I didn’t think it through at all: I’m pretty sure there is typically a cap on how many shares any one shareholder can buy when the pill is triggered. So it wouldn’t really be any help to Musk except that the “threat” of the poison pill would be removed and maybe some investors would be happy to cash in by quickly buying the poison pill shares and then selling to Musk.

Also, if it were triggered I think it would be a bit of a logistical nightmare and things would probably be in flux for a few days before anyone could say who owned how many shares with any certainty.
I just bought a house, and signing all the mortgage docs, they told me I had to sign my name exactly as it appears on the document: First Middle Last. My signature, the one that is most personal, recognizable, and ubiquitous to me, is a quick scribble that kind of includes the first letter of my first name, then some flairs of loops and things. Having to laboriously write out my full name in script was a giant pain in the ass. I could not repeat the same signature twice. In many cases I couldn't remember how to write the capital cursive letter for my middle and last name.

TL;DR: I am 38 and completely sympathize with your nephew. I can't sign my name either.

Your comment:

> but Twitter is still matters

I REALLY doubt it. Of the 28,000,000 daily users, mind you that means they open it once a day, 70% get news from the app. Of those only 37% say it increases their political engagement. This is roughly 7 million people who report any change in political engagement in the US as a result of looking at twitter. These people are overwhelmingly democrats living in big cities. I'm just not convinced that such a narrow, concentrated slice (2.7% of adults) of the the US population is really that big of a deal.

Now you could make a case that twitter maybe matters more in other places outside of the US, but that's not really related to the trump/no trump issue that I was replying to originally.
Tesla has a rule limiting borrowing against its stock to 25% so that's probably his limiting factor.
> Buying the company and taking it private will give him the ability to make those hard choices and try to make a social media company that is positive for humanity.

If that's the goal, why not simply found another social media company built around those values?

Surely he has the means to attract tech talent to do it, the means/message to attract users to a new platform, and presumably if he knows what's bad about Twitter and how to subtract it and make it good, he could do this greenfield.

This would result in increased platform diversity, too. And I'll bet you it's cheaper.

Imagine if Musk had tried to buy a big three automaker in order to make electric cars happen.
I try to do a few LeetCode problems a day as my own take on the “coding kata” idea.

Hopefully it’s quite a firm switch
It works pretty well in practice, so well, that citizens assemblies are often better informed than the politicians in government. Yet politicians routinely ignore their non-binding decisions/conclusions, as if there is a group of people that deserves more attention.

My good friend worked on the landing faring (those strut things that flare out when it gets near the ground) for the Falcon 9. He said it almost killed him. Now he builds decouplers and other mechanisms for planetary rovers and enjoys it just fine.

One of the members of my group just left for SpaceX last year, because he just wanted to work somewhere else for a change. He was one of the better FSW engineers we had seen, and I'm sure he's helping SpaceX do great things!

Another friend of mine went off to Amazon to oversee their warehouse automation.

And we just hired a bunch of really stellar folks from NG who were fed up with their workplace. They seem to love it here.

It's an industry. Changeover is pretty normal.
I think you mean "back of your card".

I honestly believe that there are no cases for that on a credit card. On a debit card, that might be different. This is why I never use my debit card for purchases.

Right, it's not limited to being offensive, and even if it were, you can limit exposure.

Also, testing if a billionaire (who has offended many people on Twitter) is lying is not deranged behavior, which is the point you keep avoiding.
Ah yes, "it could never happen here."

> which makes no sense to me since even if the monitor colour calibration was wrong, I'd except it to apply to both the page and the image equally.

Twitter is not a growth company by any metric: Users, revenue, or stock price. If they could easily generate lots of revenue right now with their current management, they absolutely would already be doing it.
One thing I'm curious about is how you define "critical manufacturing"? Manufacturing seems like a directed graph where each node is a product or material and the edges are dependencies or inputs to that product.

So if you want to onshore manufacturing of a particular product, you need to also onshore all of its dependencies. My contention is that the graph is so densely connected that you end up having to bring entire supply chains onshore and this effectively means every country needs to manufacture everything.
> I’m sure there are architects out there that argue they are related, but without addressing this faux pas head on it makes the author seem ignorant.

That's exactly what I was getting at. Every discipline is like this.

If some nutjob tries to argue with my pathologist friend N that actually the proteins in your food change your DNA, the nutter is going to have a bad time because that's lunacy.

But if N is talking over dinner with another biologist who maybe got her PhD at a different institution, and in the course of conversation the other biologist says she doubts the central dogma (the "central dogma" of molecular biology is that the nucleic acid sequences make proteins, but the proteins don't make nucleic acid sequences, sometimes over-simplified as DNA->RNA->Protein) then N is not going to react the same way, because even though it's apparently the same idea as the nutter, the context is different.

The central dogma seems plausible to me (as a lay person), but popular simplifications are now known to be definitely wrong, so who knows, at least it should have a more defensible name, (apparently Crick did not know what the word "dogma" exactly means and was just looking for synonyms for "hypothesis") as of course if it does fail you can expect the first sort of nutter will feel vindicated.

In the context of "I too have a PhD in this discipline" doubts about the dogma (ignoring for a moment that in its technical sense you can't doubt a dogma that's the whole point) seem rational, while in the context of "A Big Mac can change your DNA" it's insane.

Likewise I'm sure that in the context of basically "I hate all this old concrete crap" pointing out that Brutalism is related to the word "Brutal" just gets you dismissed -- but in the context of arguing about the relative merits of Wyndham Court and the tower block "extension" to South Stoneham House in my city, it doesn't seem so unreasonable to observe that what people didn't like about these two structures wasn't so much their Brutalist architecture as the Brutal reality of living in them...
You're right and I worry they will try to bring Trump back.

Yeah. I've been on those sidewalks too. "People are passed out, possibly dead" is...hyperbolic. It's a real issue, I grant you, but there's a looot of hyperbole. It's not that bad, except in a few specific corners across an entire city of 700,000 people. So I disagree with the assessment.

I recently figured out the chords to "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne. It would be all over the place in the analysis in this article, but it's because the chorus is in a different key, and the out of key chord in the verse is actually borrowed from the chorus. It's surprising clever for what I assumed was an easy pop punk song. There was even some word painting with the line "She needed to come back down to earth" coming right before the key drop going into the verse.
This is true. But if he was talking about trading shares of SpaceX for TWTR I would probably rearrange my holdings.

I feel like this doesn't matter much from outside the kernel, it's just an implementation detail.

The limitations of those syscalls are inherent to the interface and won't be "fixed" this way.

So it's no doubt convenient for the OpenBSD devs to unify the implementation, but this is not a user visible change or even something user mode programmers should care about.

Glenn Greenwald does the best video on the biological research labs in Ukraine:

https://rumble.com/vx2iq7-the-white-houses-game-playing-deni...

Twitter has been suspending any accounts that post any evidence (read the books they want to burn):

https://blog.deplorablesocial.com/twitter-account-suspended-...

The US does have "Biological Thread Reduction Programs" in Ukraine and has admitted to it. I hope you can see the obvious propaganda in the name (Greenwald goes into this concept in that video as well):

https://web.archive.org/web/20220224094418mp_/https://ua.use...

There are critics that say there was nothing nefarious about these labs, I'll give you that:

https://meaww.com/putin-bioweapons-labs-ukraine-theory-exper...

and every major news agency denounced these were not bioweapons labs:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/02/25/fac...

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/feb/25/tweets/the...

https://www.factcheck.org/2022/03/social-media-posts-misrepr...

https://stuartbramhall.wordpress.com/2022/03/09/victoria-nul...

---

So those are both sides right there. Personally, after reviewing all the evidence ... I side with Greenwald on this one. First, it's undeniable the US had biological research labs there. That's 100% factual. Now, you really believe they weren't working on any weapons? The government that gave us PRISM, NSA domestic spying and a president that has deep and direct corruption with Ukraine and China via his son Hunter ... It's more likely than not they were working on gain of function research there .. and that means weapons.
