It's remarkable that anyone would classify something like a change of passport or a color on a map as "aggression" toward China! Especially when the Chinese aggression discussed here is airstrikes and missile barrage, followed by a naval invasion.

Everyone understands that Taiwan will not invade China. To classify Taiwan as the aggressor is wildly disingenuous.
The Need for Long-Term Research
Great insight, my key takeaway is this:

> The fewer people you need to make decisions, the faster you can make them.

This is the only way I’ve seen a “rockstar” or “10x” get stuff done as fast as they do. They only have to talk to a couple of people at most to start making big changes. The more large and stable a company gets, the more they seem to want to spread decision making power around the org. This appears to be very counterproductive, and it’s nice to see the simple truth called out.
> That is a fundamental misreading of China's relationship with Taiwan and China's intentions. China is likely to never attack Taiwan as long as the status quo is maintained, and as long as they believe that eventual peaceful reunification is possible. China's policy on Taiwan has not changed for decades.

The problem is that the status quo may not be acceptable to the people of Taiwan and reunification is not acceptable not even slightly wanted by the people of Taiwan. The's not really any chance of a reunification of the current China and the current Taiwan.

> Anything Russia does to other states has got absolutely nothing to do with it.

Not really, if Putin had quickly succeeded I have not doubt that WWIII would have started with a failed attempt to take Taiwan followed by WWIII. There's no scenario where A) China can take Taiwan, and B) Taiwan will accept Chinese rule. That died 70 years ago.
> This SF district attorney recall thing is a really good example of the media's power to manufacture a story

Given the degree to which opposition to Boudin comes from other progressive Democrats, including politicians, in SF, the article we are discussing about a “message” to “Democrats and the nation” is an example of that.
Invading Hong Kong? Are you equating Hong Kong to Ukraine? How does that equation exactly work, given that Hong Kong was Chinese territory in the 19th century and was taken away by the British by force for refusing to buy opium?
Wikipedia has a great map [0] and 1960s context [1] on Quemoy and Matsu.

Broadly speaking, the ROC controlled them, the CCP attempted to seize them [2] in the 1950s, and the US threatened involvement (including nuclear). Then everyone settled down to just lobbing artillery at each other.

In modern times, they're more of a symbol than an asset, in that if the CCP made moves to seize them, the US would assume an invasion of Taiwan was imminent, and bad things would ensure for everyone.

Consequently, the CCP has no real reason to care about them until they're also willing to invade the main island of Taiwan.

This is darkly humorous, if only because we wouldn't tolerate anyone doing the same to another human being.

Yet we have such an obsession with trying to figure out if these increasingly complex systems have crossed some line. I'm in the camp that capital allocators want to know how far they can push the process of implementing expert systems before having to deal with the troublesome consequences of an artificial entity; that's just a consequence of my jadedness w.r.t how we treat each other though.
What is "perfect negotiation"? The readme.md does not mention it, and does not discuss it... any claim about being unusually good in some way should be... at least discussed?

It's more a cohort-based online class that's punctuated by competitions (once per week). The competitions serve to motivate you to learn in a fun finale each week, rather than all being about winning. :)

Peaceful reunification is not possible after China showed that one country two systems will not be tolerated anymore.
Depends on how you read history. Beijing is the successor of pre wwii China in that they own the territory. Taipei is the successor of pre wwii China in that that’s where the government fled to when the revolution occurred.

Comes down to what you think of revolutions. If they’re bad, the uk, or maybe Canada, has a valid claim on the us. If they’re good, the un is going to need a whole lot more chairs and desks.
I had a negative reaction when I heard about this, but I’m also coming from a privileged position of having more than one developed-world passport (immigrant parents) so I really can’t criticize. If I was in his position maybe I’d do the same.
If you plan a quick win and instead manage to claim 2 provinces after you flattened them, that is humiliating.
TSMC also guarantees China won't attack Taiwan in the near term. They're about 30% of the semiconductor industry and their most advanced foundries are only in Taiwan and no one else has been able to replicate them elsewhere. An invasion would cripple tech in China and the West, so the US would get involved and it would lead to a full scale war which no one wants.
The travesty in Hong Kong is that the people of Hong Kong had zero say in any of it.

Thanks for posting this link — I was probably too lazy to look for it otherwise.

I remember during the WWDC22 keynote when they showed the feature, my first impression was that the UI looked straight from the design style of Apple at the time of the early iPhone and skeuomorphic design (which I had always rather disliked). I wasn't expecting the feature to actually have roots dating back to that time, though... I like the idea of being able to group windows this way, but I wish they'd come up with a different UI for it.

My biggest surprise, when moving from 10+ years at FAANGs to a smaller valley startup, was the cargo cult worship of SCRUM, agile methodologies, story points and all that over just building and shipping value to the customer and moving metrics.

I was also surprised, when starting to get involved in the broader Product Management community, that PMs at most companies (especially outside tech), are mostly project managers pushing JIRA tickets around.
You know, the early 2000s looked pretty promising, with China and Taiwan having normalized relations for a while and with cross-strait business blooming. Back then a large portion of Taiwanese identified as Chinese. Today's tensions haven't always been there. As little as 10 years ago, Taiwanese supported reunification (though on their terms, e.g. the ROC government takes over the mainland)

Ironically, Taiwan is very pro-Japan nowadays even though Japan was a colonizer in the early 20th century. Given this, it's not at all set in stone that relations will stay bad if peace endures.
Abolishing copyright is the only proper fix. We're dealing with monopolists worth trillions of dollars who have thousands of expensive lobbyists at their employ so this hack might very well be the only effective solution. Essentially it's digital guerrilla warfare.
The M1 chips are made entirely by TSMC, they reinforce the status quo, they don’t change it. RISC-V is still years from matching ARM performance or cost, and by the time it does, a lot of it will likely be getting manufactured by TSMC. TSMC is really good at making chips, and really good at learning how to make new kinds of chips, so any change will have to come from other fabs getting equally good.
Nope, a few missteps in the first 90 days of the war will hardly matter a decade from now.

The West really needs to update their news cycle. While everyone was laughing at the problems Russia had early in the war, they went into full artillery mode.

It's not enough but there are 2,000 EV charging stations installed in the EU every week. 10,000 would be better but we're not even one order of magnitude off the target.
Managing and dealing with issues, among those we can find the many people who want everything and—better—if—right—now that any elected public official has to deal with, is much different from having a "point of view", "my two cents", "a few words".

It is much easier saying "turn the other cheek" when you are not the one getting slapped.
The norm is opaque stairs. The deviation is frosted glass stairs. Hope that clears things up. Most people are quite resilient to deviations from the norm.

In real life, for instance, where I know lots of people - folks usually have very little trouble on encountering novel situations that are minor differences from the norm.

And if it helps you comprehend, I can directly answer you as well: No, the norm is not "making designs that allow people to more easily perv on women". There, hope that helps.

Now that you bring it’s maybe a cultural difference because I can’t really remember the last time I saw or heard a pun on a politician name in the news, even of opposite sides. Making fun of someone family name is of very poor taste and is not something you will find in public. So I guess my gut reaction as a French seeing a pun on family name (not okay in the first place) + foreign sounding name was it’s racist, because honestly only real racists could attempt that here. I know that sound maybe too sensitive which is quite paradoxical because I usually find Americans generally way more PC on these subjects than us.

Edit: for more cultural background I think maybe it’s because there are common French family names literally translating as “Thefat”, “Chicken”, “Myass”, “Thegay”, “Sausage”, “Thewhite”… so it’s learned early in school to be respectful of others names.

This is the root problem! If you are a first time CTO which contract service do you want to use? Generally, you bet on sure wins. Some startup is not a sure win (it might not be there in 2 months). When companies go under - paperwork is flying everywhere (unsecured). You want your contracts flying around?

> China prefers peaceful reunification.

The people of Taiwan, just like those of Ukraine do not want to be re-absorbed.

> Quite the opposite: they encourage China to go to war, costs be damned, because such foreign support signal that peaceful reunification will become impossible.

It already is impossible. I think the world, save Beijing is moving on.
> Not really, if Putin had quickly succeeded I have not doubt that WWIII would have started with a failed attempt to take Taiwan followed by WWIII.

What qualifications allow you to make claims with such confidence?
Well, if we're just trading anecdata: I know exactly zero people who collapsed and died within a few months of receiving a booster or second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Where does that leave us?
> China is likely to never attack Taiwan as long as the status quo is maintained, and as long as they believe that eventual peaceful reunification is possible.

Put another way: if the people of Taiwan decide that they don't want reunification, then China is going to invade and take them by force.

Maybe if we had leaned in on nuclear 40-50 years ago. (Even then, Uranium does not grow on trees). But right now, that's not a viable option for the next thirty years. Industrial and Regulatory challenges are impossible to overcome in the timeframe that's needed.
I'm also skeptical of the business model for public EV charging.

I forsee a huge bait+switch, with sky-high prices once enough people have invested in an EV and are dependent on the service, and once the charging service providers have built up local monopolies on public charging.

While I appreciate the dedication to maintaining cultural traditions, I am saddened that so many in south Louisiana place such heavy emphasis on "passing a good time" and not much else. I was born and raised in south Louisiana and it's very sad that there's so little emphasis on education and having thriving communities. This article is centered on the Mardi Gras traditions of Mamou in Evangeline Parish. To get an idea of what I mean, just take a look at Ville Platte which is the parish seat of Evangeline Parish and only about 10 miles away from Mamou. It's the poorest city in the state [1] and driving through it is very depressing.

Unfortunately, the attitudes and traditions are deep rooted. For many years Louisiana had a governor whose primary focus was on allowing and expanding gambling in the state. It was this governor, Edwin Edwards, who famously said "The only way I can lose this election is if I’m caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy" [2] while running against former KKK klansman David Duke. Imagine having to choose between these two individuals for governor!

On the other hand, if you like Cajun food and music and are serious about "passing a good time" south Louisiana is hard to beat.

> to achieve more "pronounced" independence.

Well they already are independent. They have their own laws, taxes, government, population, and borders. And this has been the case for 70 years.

The only "difference" here is that they aren't officially saying that they are independent. Even though yes, they are obviously already an independent country.

Recognizing the obvious reality isn't aggression.
I mean, thats pretty normal for any stage tech organization.

The question is, who gets the right to create a jira ticket? Maybe you can do it, or just one other person. Thats not a big limitation at all to moving quick.

Edit because this is causing a stir:

Engineers within teams should have the right to create tickets themselves. Tickets should be minimal depending on the task. Creating a ticket that says 'update documentation' may take 10 seconds. Updating documentation may require a pull request. Controls (SOC compliance) may require that work is tracked to tickets.

The core questions I have is, who can create the tickets, and how detailed do they need to be?
The key difference is that we're talking about a gang of insurgents here, who have been extraordinarily lucky in getting to grab most of the pie, and holding on to it for as long as they have. Most insurgents are lucky if they get a small slice, and still have to accept being treated as second-class citizens in international relations. The PRC having more than most others can only dream of, and still not being satisfied is absolutely being power-hungry and expansionist.

And talking about inheriting territory, let's not forget that the Republic of China still very much exists.
I find this moralizing over an inconsequential pun in the face of a brazen financial fraud to be bizarre (not to mention illogical since your two examples have nothing to do with meaning in the source language).

The U.S. never had a one China policy. It officially acknowledges that China has a one China policy. It might sound the same, but it is not. Which it why it also has the policy to sell Taiwan weapons to defend itself, and sometimes the policy to actually defend Taiwan.

Note that it’s policy on China is changing. Obama started to build a pacific alliance, Trump was a bull in a China shop but escalated the policy of disengagement from China. Biden has maintained Trump’s policy even though it would help with his biggest domestic problem (inflation) to reverse it, while also making clear he will defend Taiwan even if it means war with China.
There have been small movements in that direction that haven’t really endured. One possible reason is that the experience of pregnancy and birth might dull the desire to create a violent movement to sterilize/marginalize their own sons.

I understand your point from a politically liberal perspective. However, in a social market system, earmarked funds and appropriated money is already flowing through the financial system, e.g., agricultural EU funding or even donations: not using them for the assigned purpose may be considered fraud, which can be legally punishable. So some parts of society seem to have agreed that under certain circumstances using money not for the assigned purpose is not desirable. And programmable money could support that.

> Interestingly I like tiling window managers due to specifically the opposite perspective, that applications are often selfish in their assumption that they can display themselves wherever they like and I much prefer ignoring their (usually-wrong) assumptions about what's best.

It really depends on your perspective I guess, but I'm of the exact opposite opinion: the window manager has no way of knowing what is the optimal size for an application window, because if it did, it'd be trying too hard to do the application's job. Say I'd like to display a picture in a separate "preview" window. The picture could be larger, or roughly equal, to the available screen space: in this case the optimal size for the window is to take up as much space as there is available (not necessarily full screen - you may want to keep another window open and visible). But if the picture is smaller, making a bigger window would just waste the screen real estate. The window manager has no way of knowing these things - it can either trust the application to make the right call, or disregard it, in the latter case making it the user's problem.

I work on a 43 inch screen and most "traditional" tiling WMs are completely unusable, precisely because their assumptions about optimal window sizes are almost always completely wrong.

In my opinion, even on a smaller screen, if you need your window manager to constantly "fix" what your application is doing, then the application sucks. If a window manager can only assume all applications suck, then it itself, must also suck for applications that don't. It's a no-win scenario - you need to be able to trust your software.
