I like how you are trying to find an angle here.

My expectation for those wishing to live in Portugal are analogous to how I feel about those emigrating here to the US: don't just treat your new home like a blank slate to impose your will on. It's a relationship, treat it like a balanced one.

Yes, I think language requirements matter (I hold that basic language proficiency for standard cases should require at least elementary English sufficient to participate as a citizen); I also advocate for all US citizens to be required to achieve substantive skills in a second language...note, my first language was not English, and I'm still functionally bi-lingual. The reason I don't mention this for Portugal is that they already do this, and most Portuguese born after the revolution, and certainly in urban areas, are bi-lingual or polyglot.

And yes, I think unless you are on a work visa with a set end date, you should make at least a modicum of attempt to "fit in". That doesn't mean subsuming your own historical identity, but making a functional attempt to expand it since you were inspired enough to transfer yourself to a whole other context...adapt accordingly by pulling from and contributing to.

I'm not upset by those that don't speak English in the US, but that is itself context specific. If you decide to move here at a comparatively young adult age, and do little to acclimate, then yes, I find that obnoxious. I've harangued those in the Portuguese diaspora in the US for that very same behavior; living in suburban enclaves lost in time (manay emigrated to the US during the Salazar regime).
> Strange that Airbnb, with their widely regarded bleeding user experience, still chose to render $ amounts without the default? "USD" qualifier.

> Was this really deliberate? Seems likely given their attention to details like this.

Random guess: maybe some US customers are confused by (or even just dislike) seeing "US$" or "USD" as opposed to just "$"? If enough US customers are like this (or even just if Airbnb believes that they are), that might influence a decision to just display "$" when they think (however wrongly) the customer is from the US.

I've never used Airbnb, so can't comment on their UX specifically, but I've seen before web sites run by US companies which offer their services to non-US customers, but have a UX which starts out by assuming you are in the US, and you sometimes have to go out of your way to tell them that you are not, and it is easy to miss doing so.
Nationalism, security, economics (like this tech war) are all bundled into the TW dilemma. There are actions short of full scale invasion, like blockade, quarantine or whatever greyzone steps short of full blown invasion with associated calculations. Some form of fourth TW strait crisis is not out of the question with the way things are developing. With respect to Chen's article, it's not particularly targetted at TW actions but response to potential US sanctions trying to contain PRC tech development. Morris Chang of TSMC said he doesn't think it's wise to shift TSMC production off island, and that's probably reflected in thoughts of TW leadership as well. They're not keen on eroding silicon shield. TW without substantial silicon monopoly/dominance relegates island to PRC containment battle ground in 10-20 years, i.e. back to unsinkable aircraft carrier. Historically that's what TW is, prime 1st island chain containment real estate.

With respect to reunification, IMO the way cross strait culture is diverging, it will be politically impossible for generations. Like current anti-PRC youth would need to be displaced by another generation more susceptible to PRC overtures (unlikely, given how demographics shaping up - especially low TW birthrate to displace voting power of current gen sentiment), that's something beyond the timeline of current Sino-US competition. Drastic actions is about mitigating damage over next 5-15 years when neither US or PRC has full control over indigenous semi supply chains. Next 10 years is the "decade of concern" where force balance will continuously move in PRC favour while US reorients capabilities. Meanwhile status quo is being shaken by relevant players, and calculation is changing accordingly. A war is as much crisis as opportuniy. More than reunification, deterring/defeating US military that has sustained TW's autonomhy is just as large political victory. That's why PRC keeps referring TW as a "card" being played by US over Sino-US competition. Ultimately it's about deterring/winning against US meddling/containment for good, in every domain. Calculations are for that goal for short/medium timeline, long before any viable political shifts towards peaceful reunifcation.
This is just worse than being a grammar nazi IMHO. It's not even about being correct - both representations are OK.

These types of occurrences are my number one argument for eliminating qualified immunity. Police officers should face significant, personal liability for flagrant violations of individual rights like this.

Chris Harris drifting Ferraris in slow motion is some of the best car content on Youtube. Terrible to hear they banned him, but unsurprising. I also watched a segment where someone interviewed Jay Leno about why he doesn't own a Ferrari and he went on a rant about their snobbish behaviour, but it sounded like he was still upset after trying to buy one in the 80s/90s. Terrible customer service/arrogance, when you burn popular "car culture ambassadors" like these.

I fell in love with Lamborghinis when I was young (late Countach/early Diablo era) so I've always preferred their style, but now with their extended period of German ownership they are quite credible performance cars as well (Audi Le Mans/GT influence, perhaps?).

He won't win against the Police. That's why he (via his lawyer) is going after the airline. Of course, he should have had a lawyer when he was first arrested.
Hmmm I didn’t get that impression from this;

> corporations would be in US jurisdiction but the employees could flow through with minimal overhead

It implies to me that the corporations get to be US based and reap those benefits while employees are not and can be taken advantage of.

Though I do agree with you - there’s a few experiments happening with special economic areas / designated cities in a few places (again, a few in the Middle East) to attract talented individuals and companies to whom local laws may not apply.
That sounds very inefficient though.
My tenure wasn't long enough to witness any of this. It didn't take long to determine it wasn't the right fit for me.

Unless these recruiters were there early on, it couldn't have been them.

You mentioned you were a frequent visitor to the office. Did anyone from the DEI team ever make the trip? I know I met this person at lunch at least twice but I suppose I never saw their desk.

What happened at that office is awful. Clearly it needed to be cleaned up. Including any DEI staff acting unprofessionally.

So that naturally leads to the question... which of them are good?
His argument is that games nowadays are devoid of depth and content outside thinly veiled addiction models with shinies. He's totally right about it.

Even competitive games are taking a turn for the worst with forced changes to the meta. It makes more money but it is an abusive addiction cycle of making someone's favorite thing broken but making someone else's favorite thing useless.
I believe in the power of people to feel equally bad about their life no matter how well or poorly they're doing. That's called the hedonic treadmill.
Yes, exactly: the tiny amount of genuine innovation that exists in this particular area is not worth giving up interoperability and regressing back to the pre-micro-USB world of mostly terrible, rarely innovative proprietary connectors from every different vendor.

> their wreckless legislators could have actual impact.

I think the positive impact of the currently existing micro-USB legislation is clear if you look back at the status quo before it existed. This new legislation simply improves upon it.
It is not the case that the U.S. is a paradise on earth, and that everything outside it is desolate wasteland with no opportunities.

When you say "toil their life away in a thirld world country", what are you picturing in your head exactly? Brown people in rags, chained to old 286's and programming away at the crack of a whip? Why do you think working as a software engineer in their home country means toiling their life away any more than in the U.S.?

While it's true that some H1B holderss are from thirld world countries, the majority are from developed countries with the best universities and educational institutes in the world, having received an education second to none and every opportunity to excell -- that is the very reason the U.S. wants them.

Give yourself a reality check.
i think you don’t understand my point at all.

You are correct in saying the Majority of white (80%) will have better odd of getting a call back compared to an average black person.

But while forcing company to use hiring quota will help the the black population. it will make it harder for poor white people to get hired as compared to poor black people.

you could say it’s acceptable collateral damage but you can’t say it’s not true .

As other commenters have pointed out, it's not just power usage that will increase. Because there is a huge amount of material and processes that will be mined, disposed of, exhausted, pollute, etc. in addition to drawing all that power.

There has got to be a nice graph that correlates power usage with these things, but I have yet to find it.
The article more or less admits this but it probably wasn't the first thing sold online. There was a music store (CD Connection) that was telnet accessible before graphical web browsers (or any web browsers) were common, for instance.
> There's still a lot of room --- and actual bipartisan support! --- for CJ reform in US politics

To expand on this: there are legions of non-violent, opportunistic crimes that put young Americans in jail only to release them years later unskilled, difficult to hire and possibly disenfranchised. At the same time, hosts of violent crimes carry relatively short sentences with no attempts at rehabilitation. And all sorts of society-corroding, sociopathic white-collar crime goes unnoticed by a justice system overloaded by the first group.

Reducing penalties on the former, honing focus on the second and creating an enforcement mechanism for the latter finds bipartisan support (first two play on separate sides of the aisle for a bargain; the last has populist appeal in both camps).

The story was quite embellished in time. Stanzani had a different, simpler recollection.

Besides, I'm Italian, born in the eighties. I may not have lived the seventies so I cannot comment about back then, but in my time there never was a perceived rivalry between the two brand.

They sit in completely separated market segments, with quite orthogonal mind shares.
Your right to remain silent only applies to statements made to police and more specifically, those statements being used in court. You don't have a right to refuse to answer a judge, for example.

You also don't have a right to refuse to answer a police officer generally, such as when they're asking you questions as part of booking you (do you have health conditions they need to know about, for example), and furthermore, during (say, a threshold inquiry or administrative detention) police are legally allowed to treat you refusing to answer them as guilty behavior.

To be clear, in very simplified layman's terms: threshold inquiry = "Hi there, can I ask you a few questions?" and administrative detention = a traffic stop, or "Hi there, come over here, I have some questions to ask you." The primary difference between TI and AD is that in a TI the police ask, and in AD, they order. If you're being ordered to do something, yes, You Are Being Detained, and no, you are not Free To Go. IANAL, etc etc and this shit is annoyingly complex, so please do your own research, folks.

Kafkaesque....try this on for size: thanks to the Berghuis v Thompkins USSC ruling in 2010, it is no longer sufficient to remain silent. You now have to specifically state you wish to remain silent when you are Mirandized.

I wish I were making this up. The court flipped Miranda on its head almost completely. Prior to v Thompkins, the state had to prove, with high standard of evidence, that you had willingly waived your right to remain silent. Now remaining silent isn't enough...and aying anything is taken as an immediate implied waiver.

It was outsourced to Netease, they already make comparable games. I'd bet they mostly just got some Blizzard assets and maybe some high level signoff on things to ensure they are ok.

Chinese developers aren't incompetent, they just have a hard time marketing their games to a western audience. Slapping a western brand name on one of their games is a perfectly reasonable way for them to do that.
The jury may only be confused because prosecutors never take their duty to bring exculpatory evidence to light seriously because it would harm their conviction rate and they would rather let an innocent person suffer than have their career affected. We should count all trials where innocent people are found not guilty because of evidence introduced by prosecutors as an exceptional win for the prosecutor. Their job shouldn't be focused on convictions but on delivering justice so this would be a case where justice is served even though they don't convict.
Because it actually had a lightweight GC for strings and arrays.

8 bit home micros lacked more complex data structures.

And when they migrated to 16 bits, and grew structures, usually you couldn't do indirection with pointers/references, only have a single level of array of structures. For anything more complex you had to use indexes.

Pointers were only use for low level coding, changing specific memory locations.

Then by the time of VB and Real Basic, proper GC was already widespread among modern BASIC dialects.

I'm sorry but have you never seen intel marketing in last decade? "New intel 12th gen blah blah"
It’s unlikely that WebP was what helped there, but rather more lossy encoding (presuming it was JPEGs you were replacing). Yes, WebP is smaller for a given perception quality level, but it’s typically not that much smaller; you could have achieved results almost as good by reencoding to the same perception quality as you used on the WebPs but still as JPEGs.

> Documentation for people that already know what the thing is is called "useless documentation".

Right... Like the doc of the regex match function in Rust is useless because it doesn't explain regexes. https://docs.rs/regex/latest/regex/struct.Match.html

Or the C# beginSocketfunction because it doesn't explain what TCP is. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.socke...

Or the go Exec function in the sql package not explaining with SQL or databases are. https://pkg.go.dev/database/sql#DB.Exec

Any function level documentation expects you to know the basics and the contexts of a library. Documentation on that level is most certainly not useless. It's the standard in every language, for every library. I don't feel like you are approaching this from a fair point of view so I will stop replying. Can't convince people who don't want to be convinced.
I think the best example of people who assume reciprocation are the types of tourists that walk up to and try to take pictures with wild animals. They assume as long as they’re nice the animal will be nice. On a larger scale, I think people tend to assume that bad natural events like fires, hurricanes, floods, etc relate to how we treat the planet, and that if we stop human activities, those things will become more manageable. I think a lot of people vastly underestimate how powerful and uncaring most natural forces are to a lot of what we do. Volcanoes have randomly erupted and emitted enough particulates to effectively cancel spring/summer. While we don’t want to use technology poorly and pollute our environment, the reason we have technology in the first place is to shape our environment to be less inhospitable to us than it is naturally.
When you're writing things like "you're part of the problem", you've departed from the norms of this place. There's a place for that kind of advocacy, but it's not HN; we're here for curious conversation. Even some people ordinarily inclined to agree with you will recoil from this kind of rhetoric here.
That is just inaccurate, the police don't even do a good job of that. The police, like every other bureaucracy with unchecked power, exists to perpetuate itself and enrich its members. This is not specific to the police except insofar as the police are exceptionally powerful and unchecked, and it is less a conspiracy of the powerful and more a typical dysfunction of government taken to an atypical extreme.
That’s not how term life insurance works. Either you die and it pays out or you don’t and it doesn’t. It’s not at all like other kinds of insurance.
Judging the security of an application based on its use of typescript is like when people judge the intelligence of a person depending on if they have an English or an American accent.
What non-violent opportunistic crimes are putting young Americans in jail? Theft? Is there bipartisan support for reducing its penalties? Or do you mean some other one?

I can see bipartisan support for reducing penalties for victimless, non-oppotunistic crimes, like drug use.
I agree that they are probably not going out of business, though it may be closer than it seems. The article suggests they're now going to be running on a 2% margin after the clearance. Even if things get worse, they can probably afford to run in the red for some significant period of time (and perform various liquidations to get back into the black if necessary), but that's a quite unstable scenario.

The issue with a retailer going out of business is not the retailer itself, but the manufacturers behind it. Target failing to sell their product reflects large numbers of manufacturers being unable to sell their product.
> Honestly, at this point in the U.S. maybe we should all have a lawyer on retainer and their phone number memorized and take no such situations lightly.

A retainer would be expensive and unnecessary unless you know that you're at particular risk of arrest and prosecution, but it's not unwise to at least know the number of a well-regarded criminal law firm. Put their number in your phone, and a physical copy in your wallet — along with other emergency contacts (spouse, family members, etc).
The problem is the peak demand on the road trips, such as everybody doing hundreds of km on the same days to go on vacation. Using the car for your summer holidays is quite more common in Europe than in the US for example.
Thank you for snagging capital cost figures. $350M/GW is a substantial chunk of what you should hope to pay for a nuke, even though in the US they always cost much more when official, wholly-legal corruption has taken its cut. Solar cap-ex is lately half your figure, but the plummeting price is hard to keep up with.

My point was about operating cost, which for a steam turbine includes regular periodic maintenance. Where geothermal operates them at a lower temperature than a nuke, one might expect to need less frequent maintenance, so geo remains a conservative standard of comparison. Of course both nuke and geo have lots of piping to maintain.

The point was that solar incurs no such operating cost, besides dusting off the panels once in a while, and inspecting and replacing failed units.
> I have a hard time reconciling the claim—that a feature implemented in the same year wasn’t for many years after—as a good faith opening of the conversation.

I think you're vastly over-ascribing a lot of malice to what has been a pretty harsh & specific tragic trauma that I/some others may not specifically remember, over this.

I missed some basically pointless details? So what? I remember Safari rejecting something that seemed elemental & necessary, & rebuffing essentials. I failed to see a small, short-lived specific, before the inner anti-web Safari beast took back over & re-asserted control. You seem to have vast sympathy for the 10 year absence of this feature, based off of 25 months of availability, before being snuffed out for- literally- the excuse of cheapness. 'We don't want to maintain it.'

> I didn’t know the history of this particular API when I saw the comment,

Bro, I thought it did. But you are agitating for a lot of scorn & anger my way for having missed a detail. It's an interesting footnote. But I fail to see how it impacts the pent-up frustration that's developed over the intervening decade since. What's the relevance here?
