I just don't see the issue. This isn't how US companies want to be treated, even when the US govt is acting badly. TikTok doesn't appear to be uniquely different.

I also struggle to view China as an adversary. US and China are each other's number one trading partners. We are allies. Why not try to build on that productive relationship?
> Such a configuration has been very cheap for several years now.

This is a very weird comment, considering that a) it's cheaper than yesteryear but SATA SDD (or even modern magnetic HDDs) are still sold and are in active use and b) ignores phones completely, where a large number of sites would have mobile-dominated visitors and can't just switch to an NVMe-like performance even for those with large disposable incomes (because at the end of the day even with UFS phones are still slower than NVMe latency-wise).
so what is?

They will do what is cheapest. Now that means building out renewables.

Anything that interferes with building out renewables as absolutely fast as they can be brings global catastrophe nearer.

Global civilization collapse would be hard on people.
> Why do we even have linear physical and virtual addresses in the first place, when pretty much everything today is object-oriented?

Simple: we don't want some low level kernel memory management dictating what constitutes an "object".

Everything isn't object-oriented. E.g. large arrays, memory-mapped files, including executables and libraries.

Linear memory sucks, but every other organization sucks more.

Segmented has been done; the benefit-to-clunk ratio was negligible.
Sounds great. But doesn't get anyone from point A to point B.

It's like being handed city maps of LA and NYC and told to drive from one to the other.

I find that part funny as I never saw any question in a comment answered.
I dunno - I can tell zsh to are-you-sure me about an `rm -rf *`, git seems like it should be able to do similarly. Or, as Mercurial does, back up overwritten files to .bak.

These are pretty light asks.

>How are they selling $2 for $1?

the only value of the platform is in the creators, any team of devs can clone the product in a month. You're exactly right that they need barely any employees, because the technology isn't worth anything. The site has no moat or network effects so they will effectively need to subsidize the creators forever or not charge them anything, lest they run for the next platform.

It's the same reason the ridesharing industry is a profitless money pit. Undifferentiated, easily copiable products compete each other into the ground on subsidized investor money while owning no assets of value.
> I don't know if you're being deliberately obtuse or argumentative.

I refer you to the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> because I was a generalist they had confidence that I could pick up the manuals and figure it out

Why you though? That's the point I'm making. Of course a smaller company with limited resources may have to repurpose existing employees. But when a BigCo with a massive budget needs to do something new, they can assign existing employees with the closest expertise, hire new employees with relevant expertise, or acquire other companies. It's unclear why a generalist with no domain expertise would be preferable.
My license says something along the lines of "This is totally free, except for use by Microsoft and Github in anything they develop or sell."

So, where does it say they can use my IP?
When I started looking at cloud pricing in 2009 there were ~10K price points, today there are more than 3M. The cloud vendors focus on moving fast and continually release new services but there is more they could be doing to make it easy for engineers to understand the costs. Infra-as-code added another layer of complexity as now engineers have no idea what we're about to buy on AWS when we run "terraform apply" or similar checkout commands in other tools. All software has a cost, it's just not visible until it's too late - that's what we want to change.

What next the same introduction to every startup pitch deck ever - “if we capture $smallPortion of $hugeMarket we can be worth trillions”!
I know from personal experience the hotel will lose the chargeback. The message from the opposing bank will be something like “merchant agreements does not cover damages” or something. Basically, unless the customer agreed to pay a specific number, and you have proof of it, I would not expect to win the chargeback.

The security deposit pre auth at check serves more of a credit check purpose. Generally, if you are getting too many problem customers, you increase the security deposit because you are betting most problem causers will have fewer funds available at any given time. A couple hundred dollars is not going to cover any real damage costs.

The other problem is proving the damage was caused by the guest, as you are not typically going over all the existing damage in a room prior to giving the guest a key.

The way to get people to pay, however, was to threaten to go to small claims court, and most people will choose to avoid that hassle and simply pay.

I have never seen an official shared DNR list by any of the major hotel brands shared with individual hotel owners. If an owner/management company has multiple hotels, then I have seen shared lists.
Despite areas of friction, China and US are each other's #1 trading partners. We are literally allies. I suggest we try to build upon that already productive relationship.
Thanks, that was interesting to see. For what was probably tens of kilobytes in size, and seeing the sample presentation with images, charts, bullet points etc, as well as some of the options in the menus, I have to say it doesn't seem that much limited when it comes to essential functionality, compared to the current 1GB version :)
The Developer Content Playbook That Fuels Twilio's PLG at Scale
Non-destructive parties can still be loud and annoying to the residents that actually live in the area. And I'd bet that probably leads to negative feelings toward AirBNB from those folks and increased chance of banning it outright.
It's no whataboutism. You make a big fuss about tiktok but meta owned apps are just as bad. The Muslim camps is just a laughable pretext. If the U.S would care so much about poor muslims, especially muslim women around the world they would not have left Afghanistan in such a hurry...

As far as I'm concered I would ban all these spyware apps, chinese and american alike. They are pure spyware and bad for our health and for democracy.

People should own their data, and their devices.

I'm glad that TikTok is chinese. It raises some important questions about appstores, privacy and data ownership.
Yes it would, but that’s not in the cards either.

I think #5 is huge, until Windows Subsystem for Linux came out there was no easy way to compile all needed gems on Windows. Most Ruby/Rails tutorials assumed you were running *nix and DHH's dismissive attitude to Windows didn't help. Git Bash for Windows bridged some of the gap and probably Cygwin did the rest, but batteries were not included for Ruby on the most popular OS.
The Multics system was designed to have segments (for this discussion == pages) that were handled the way he described, down to the pointer handling. Not bad for the 1960s, though Unix was designed for machines with a lot fewer transistors back at the time when that mattered a lot.

Things like TLBs (not a new invention, but going back to the 1960s) really only matter to systems programmers, as he says, and judicious use simplifies and has simplified programming for a long time. I think if he really wants to go down this path he'll discover that the worst case behavior (five probes to find a page) really is worth it in the long run.
I can do this on my cellular Apple Watch. Not quite as easy to fiddle with, but for straight forward stuff in my own city it's quite nice.
Its horrifying, but we have proven we aren't going to do the things we need to until the sane options won't cut it. I agree that right now its a terrible idea, but when climate refugees are dying by the tens of thousands, and species are disappearing faster than the coastlines, climate engineering and its unforseen consequences will be what are left to us.
Seriously. And I can't figure out how the CCP having information about me is worse than the US government having that same information when I'm likely to interact with the latter but not the former. I'd love for the FCC/FTC to enforce some kind of privacy standards on all apps, but that's not what's happening here.
Maybe do that after global catastrophe had been averted.
The `go switch` function
Absolutely - this is a world-renowned medical research school and since they always have interns you can expect this question has been asked many, many times. They feel the need to explain it in their orientation because they know some of the students are going to be shocked by the procedure.

My daughter did say it's done so fast and the mice are so accustomed to being handled there doesn't appear to be any fear on the mouse's part and there doesn't appear to be any suffering, let alone needless suffering.

Funny anecdote - the first time she was in the lab when they were doing this she hadn't had breakfast that day and had a light dinner the night before and she fainted from low blood sugar. Took her a couple of days to convince them no, she was fine, she just let her blood sugar get too low.
The article claims that the former is, soldiers fled trenches where they'd have been getting shelled the moment the enemy managed to get close enough with hand to hand weapons.

No matter how many software tools I bounce around for my whole life, nothing can beat Vim as my text editor and zsh (or even bash) as the terminal. Sadly enough, my life began on MacOS (now I mainly use Arch) but I still have almost every keyboard shortcut, a deep knowledge of AppleScript and all the other small quirks of the OS in the back of my mind. The best way to learn how to use an OS is to want to do something that you aren't allowed to do on it without doing a little bit of secret tinkering ;)
To make the browser show the little lock in the address bar, I suppose?

Granted, that's still kind of pointless because you still have to self-sign, which gives scarier warnings than being unencrypted[0].

A knowledgeable user wouldn't care - they'd know that they installed a Tor gateway that resolves .onion to itself, so they're just as protected as they are on TLS. The catch here is that the ransomware operators are trying to criminally extort less-knowledgeable users and bureaucratic IT staff that are just being told to "run Tor and pay us in Monero to get your files back".

[0] There's nothing preventing these operations from shipping their own browser or root cert - they are, after all, already running on the local machine outside of any sandboxing. No clue if they do this.
> Diesel engines almost all have a turbo, gas engines almost never to

In USA are humungous engines (5.0l +) without a turbo
In EU are mini engines (1.0l ~ 3.0l) and almost always with turbo. Is it better fuel economy?
To the folks saying the revenue multiple is crazy: remember that the $9MM revenue is substack's cut, not GMV (gross merchandise value: the amount subscribers paid).

If you're comparing substack with a non-marketplace business, you probably want to compare gross profit between the two, or compare substack's GMV with the other company's revenue.

Also consider growth expectations.
> then you are entitled

Nobody is obliged to tailor their beliefs to your whims. It doesn't matter how logical you think you are. It doesn't matter if you think other people are being hypocritical or illogical. The simple fact of the matter is that I support American interests and oppose Chinese interests, and I don't care if you think that makes me hypocritical.
Conceptually, I really like this. Congratulations on getting it out there, and thank you for sharing.

The implementation confuses me though.

It's not clear at first that all "games" (though I would think it's rounds of a single game, not distinct games) are available rather than this being some kind of daily challenge.

The instructions are very drawn out and repetitive. There's no reason the Welcome, Background, and Rules couldn't be on one screen. The Mission page should just be merged with Rules.

The time limit seems pointless given that you get to see the text before the game starts. You could just write your text in Notepad using as much time as you want. I would either get rid of the timer (greatly preferred) or stop showing the text in advance (if you must).

It's not clear what other rules (AI?) are being used to judge whether a response is valid, so when you get marked invalid even though you're using all the required terms, it's not clear what you're supposed to do to make it valid.

It would be nice to be able to review the Background section of the instructions while writing.

After completion, you see your response compared to a target, but you can't see the original anymore to compare target vs original to see how the target improved on the original.
There exists a policy that avoids hypocrisy: reciprocity.

Treat the EU companies the way the EU treats American companies and treat Chinese companies the way China treats American companies.

China doesn't give American social media companies access to China, so we shouldn't give Chinese social media companies access to America.

The EU imposes all sorts of privacy requirements and data locality restrictions on American companies. Impose those same restrictions but only on companies from the EU.

Wow. Comment of the week. What the hell do you do to know all this?

Hard to agree with this when faced with the overwhelming environmental degradation we see globally.

Between extinctions 1000x the normal background rate, microplastics & chemicals poisining food supplies, climate change, oceanic accumulations of garbage twice the size of france and growing exponentially, growing water shortages, topsoil erosion, etc etc etc... it is not clear that those fears are unfounded.

I don't have any firm conclusions on the meaning to be gleaned from Universe 25, but man, that article may have been the most interesting thing I've read in a while.
I'm pretty sure pain features in the equation as well time.
Cats definitely. I've seen outdoor cats kill many birds, and have even come across house cats out on hiking trails. What do dogs do to native wildlife though? I've never seen this argument made before. Wild dog packs are very rare, and usually taken care of since they're dangerous. Ferrel cats aren't all that different from house cats, and can be found everywhere.
Trading partners is not the same as "literally allies". Germany was trading partners with the rest of Europe before both world wars, that doesn't mean Germany was allied with France and the UK. There is no mutual defense pact between America and China, nor will there be in any foreseeable future. America and China are not allies.
The Case of a Missing Ton of Cocaine
The problem though, is that that kind of thing doesn't solve problems like those with Reddit and Twitter-- bots, algorithmic manipulation as you mention, hand-picked moderators for critical subforums, or just generally hand-picked moderators can be a tremendous tool for political manipulation.

I've heard the unsubstantiated claim that /r/india is covertly run by Pakistanis, which of course, would be a pretty big problem considering the relations between those countries-- but whether or not it's true it's a claim that people can make because it's entirely possible for it to in fact be the case.

The problem is that solutions that are in accordance with security needs would interfere with free speech. I see the only path where both free speech and security needs are maintained as some kind of genuinely distributed social network with no central control facilities.

I'm not sure I follow. The two main reasons to vote for brexit are the ones that I mention?

I'm not sure I follow your negotiation power argument either.
It was necessary. The UK needed to negotiate trade deals and they have them now, that does not mean this was done from a position of strength. I of course hope that they managed to negotiate the best they could.

Regarding the statistics you bring up... What exactly are you looking at and over what time period? An interesting question would be how the UK could have performed had they stayed in the EU.

I ask because your link mentions the following: > "For 2021 as a whole, UK GDP growth was 7.4%. This was the highest in the G7. The UK had the largest decline in GDP among the G7 in 2020 (-9.3%) and its relatively strong performance in 2021 was to some degree a recovery from weakness in 2020."
Very unlikely. They probably don't have the voting shares, and in this market they definitely don't have the buyer. And lastly, don't forget, every single VC involved in this valuation supported the numbers you're reading.

> As surely you could consider page table as effectively implementing a fixed-size "object cache"? It is just a lookup for an offset into physical memory, after all, with the "object ID" just being the masked first part of the address? And if the objects are variable sized, is it possible to end up with physical address fragmentation as objects of different sizes are allocated and freed?

Because that's only a base, not a limit. The right pointer arithmetic can spill over to any other object base's memory.
That's why I'm conflicted. To quote my favorite college professor, "there is always a catch."
Hmmm, well, lukewarm for me anyway please.
Choosing not to play part in what has become political theater has zero relevance to my civic duty.

Don't be too hard on yourself. The fact that you remember the incident and feel that regret shows a lot of emotional maturity and self awareness. I doubt many others that attended the talk that day even remember it.

Short-term is good if we are also doing something about long-term.

The underexplored value of early segmentation was the discretionary segment level permissions enforced by hardware.

Years ago I prototyped a system that had filesystem permission support at the segment level. The idea was you could have a secure dynamic library for, say, manipulating the passwd file (you can tell how long ago that was). You could call into it if you had the execute bit set appropriately, even if you didn't have the read bit set, so you couldn't read the memory but could call into it at the allowed locations (i.e. PLT was x only).

However it was clear everyone wanted to get rid of the segment support, so that idea never went anywhere.

I think you might have missed the point of the article. Trust doesn't matter in an unbalanced power dynamic. If your direct superior can punish you for disagreeing with you on anything, then it stands to reason that you will submit to their will regardless of the outcome (this is where bad decisions are made because alternative points of view are squashed before they even get a chance). This seems to be the reason why more egalitarian organization results in better outcomes, the better outcomes are possible when trust is given to people, not trust is forced upon people.
