- the IP infringement is very real (see Nortel vs Huawei), but it's more the actions of individual companies than industrial policy.

- Taiwan is technically the legitimate government of China, so it's really more appropriate to say that the mainland broke away from China instead of the other way around. Realistically though, they've been defacto independent for decades during which there has been peace. The KMT is no longer the dominant party in Taiwan and the CCP has moved on from Mao, the two sides should drop the charade and normalize relations, but it's unlikely to happen with Xi at the helm stoking Chinese nationalism.

That said, I don't think any of this should automatically make the US and China adversaries. The US has a number of allies that are worse on the human rights front, and has historically propped up dictatorships as long as they were aligned against communism.

imo the real reason for the conflict is that there is a resurgence of nationalism in every major country. Both the US and China has become more fascist compared to 20 years ago, and this trend is likely to continue.

Two weeks ago, during an all-hands in front of roughly 3,000 full-time Unity employees, Riccitiello assured staffers the company was not in any financial trouble, and that Unity wouldn’t be laying anyone off, according to sources who attended.

Wonder if this was accurate or if we are starting to see the onset of a recession and companies are trying to shore up their financials (at the cost of their employees livelihoods).

I've been watching a lot of Proper People urbex videos on YouTube, and they go out of their way to recognize the design that went into ordinary places, back when those places were somewhat extraordinary.

You see, in the 1930s, electric power _was_ glamorous, even its generation. The idea of a municipal utility _serving the public_ was a big deal. All the modern miracles that enabled dense cities to grow upward, electric water pumps and elevators and inter-office telephones, were shiny and new and worth celebrating.

So, celebrate they did. Telephone central offices built in the 1920s and 30s are cathedrals to the tamed electron, with ornate Art-Deco carvings and stone arches and tile inlay adorning their entrances. I've had the privilege (yes!) of working in quite a number of them, and while the asbestos precautions are a hassle sometimes, there is a palpable feeling, even a century later, of showing up to work somewhere respectable. Proud. Exalted.

Except that mask mandates aren't worthless. We have relatively controlled studies in other countries demonstrating where one area got masks and another area didn't that there was a fairly clear difference in transmission rate.

What are useless are mask mandates when you have a large cohort that simply won't comply or will anti-comply. Which is what we had in the US--both from political intransigence (Covid is a hoax) as well as general stupidity (Remember the police in CA having to break up a block party in the middle of Covid?) as well as general intransigence (Remember a handful of illegal gatherings being responsible for 80% of the Covid cases in California at the beginning? I do.).

This shouldn't have even needed to be a mandate. It should have been common sense. It should have been protecting your fellow man.

But, here, we are.
opex as in operating expenses?

The counterfactual to gentrification (no investment) wouldn’t help anyone; you’d just have some rotting empty buildings.

Though, what people call gentrification is often just younger people moving into an area replacing older people. So maybe you could fight it by building senior housing and whatever it is old British people like. Model trains maybe.

Show HN: Let’s Gym, the app that lets you find a nearby Gym Partner
Hi All,
I recently launched the beta version of Let’s Gym and looking for people interested in using this app in hopes to get feedback.
The app idea came up after I moved to a new city and all my buddies back home were the people I worked out with daily. My drive to the gym suffered since the workout “comradely” was no longer there. After speaking to most people around the city it seem it was a common theme of people moving here and not having a workout partner. There are facebook groups in some cities that try and alleviate this issue but the problem was that you couldn’t filter on the workout goal of the person and responses back was more of a miss than a hit using FB.
We are in a very early beta in select cities in the US and would love feedback.

He's burned the bridge with the far left, and has won some support from the right. Tesla has never been a good workplace (low pay, long hours) and their cars have been passable at best for the price they ask (low range, surveillance, poor service). Musk has always been a dick, and it's hardly a privilige to work for him - that hasn't changed. What's changed is how the leftist media talks about him: if a few years ago they praised his vision on the great green future, now they're shittalking about him at every opportunity. I'm really curious what the outcome of this battle will be: the richest man in the US vs the angry and powerful leftists.
Hoarding is about intent, different from saving. Acaparar in Spanish. To take up all there is for yourself, so others have nothing and suffer in need. Whereas saving is sacrifice, so someday there can be something to give in an exceptional situation. Or in an exceptional opportunity, as in investment, but this is secondary, because the purpose of this secondary interpretation is subjugated to the primary interpretation, to eg invest to get a good return to at some point rescue an orphaned grandchild.

And? Laws change... PRC updates law to ban foreign publishers, ergo ibooks/itunes got killed. US also has national security negative lists that they use to kill China Telecom in US.. who followed US laws until it got updated. But Apple rolled with the punches are still doing great in PRC. If US laws wants to mandate TikTok to remove some service segement, Bytedance will also comply. Like they're doing with Oracle data siloing under CIFIUS. TikTok is rolling with the punches like Apple did in PRC because you know... they understand following local laws is business 101.
tl;dr: conventional design bad, me smart, capability-based pointers (base+offset with provenance) can replace virtual memory, CHERI good (a real modern implementation of capability-based pointers).

The first two points are similar to other Poul-Henning Kamp articles [1]. The last two are more interesting.

I'm inclined to agree with "CHERI good". Memory safety is a huge problem. I'm a fan of improving it by software means (e.g. Rust) but CHERI seems attractive at least for the huge corpus of existing C/C++ software. The cost is doubling the size of pointers, but I think it's worth it in many cases.

I would have liked to see more explanation of how capability-based pointers replacing virtual memory would actually work on a modern system.

* Would we give up fork() and other COW sorts of tricks? Personally I'd be fine with that, but it's worth mentioning.

* What about paging/swap/mmap (to compressed memory contents, SSD/disk, the recently-discussed "transparent memory offload" [2], etc)? That seems more problematic. Or would we do a more intermediate thing like The Mill [3] where there's still a virtual address space but only one rather than per-process mappings?

* What bookkeeping is needed, and how does it compare with the status quo? My understanding with CHERI is that the hardware verifies provenance [4]. The OS would still need to handle the assignment. My best guess is the OS would maintain analogous data structures to track assignment to processes (or maybe an extent-based system rather than pages) but maybe the hardware wouldn't need them?

* How would performance compare? I'm not sure. On the one hand, double pointer size => more memory, worse cache usage. On the other hand, I've seen large systems spend >15% of their time waiting on the TLB. Huge pages have taken a chunk out of that already, so maybe the benefit isn't as much as it seemed a few years ago. Still, if this nearly eliminates that time, that may be significant, and it's something you can measure with e.g. "perf"/"pmu-tools"/"toplev" on Linux.

* etc

> DAC’s energy usage, particularly when it’s considered in conjunction with the (relatively minuscule) amount of CO2 it’s capturing, is its biggest drawback. Sourcing the energy from renewable sources helps, but it’s still not unlimited nor free.

What are the actual downsides of energy usage here given that the enterprise is strongly carbon negative? Given that it is consuming geothermal energy in Iceland, 1) wouldn't the energy become waste heat in the environment regardless, 2) Is there a consumer of the energy that would be "better"?

My guess is that it is an object oriented system. The data's type is a pointer to the address that defines the type. Which could be anywhere in the system.

This is also a security feature. If you find a way to randomly change the data's type, you're unlikely to successfully change it to another type.

I haven't heard that term used since Richard Cheese sang a parody song with that title on the Opie & Anthony show over 15 years ago. Not linking it here since the song is extremely offensive but YouTube is your friend.
DAC is nowhere near the scale needed to make even a tiny dent in our carbon emissions, and it's easy to be cynical looking at this (this plant can capture about 2000 American's carbon emissions).

One thing I do like about this is that we get an actual, concrete, and correct "cost of carbon" from it. Sure, there are caveats (i.e. you can't just build 5MM of these in Iceland), but having a real number that doesn't include hand-waving around whether the Brazilian farmer would have cut down those trees or not is a good thing for offsets, future planning, markets, etc.

I'm not sure we are really disagreeing. Being receptive of magic is to enjoy the idea of being "cheated" on, so I'd agree that it's not necessarily rational to feel cheated in the way you were cheated. Whatever the end justifies the means, and so on.

But I think the role of good magic is somewhat to test the boundaries of negative cheating in almost anyone.

For example, you've made it fairly clear you'd think of any visual effects to be negative cheating. But what if I actually do use visual effects, but successfully double down and convince you that it _isn't_, even though you'd normally be technically aware to spot such a thing. Would you enjoy being misdirected like that?

We're far from the original point, but what I think I'm saying is there's a selection/survivorship bias here; a smaller number of great tricks with fascinating explanations and, often, decoy explanations. And the rest is just cheating ;-)

Can you explain the meaning of egalitarian you are using in this context? Unless you said it somewhere else I don't think you provided me with a definition.

I find that, at least in an American context, the idea that we live in an "incredibly hierarchical society" to be dubious at best. I am by no means saying that we have no formal hierarchies, but there is there is too much indivualism to describe that hierarchy as 'strict'.

Thanks for the reference.

I have in the past been told that overt calls for racial genocide do not violate Reddit's content policy.

It is taking time but I'm trying to find replacements for reddit that either don't pretend to be moderated or are anti-crimes against humanity in their moderation.
You could also say that directly elected members go against the electorate due to party influence like the party whip system in the UK. Look at Brexit, it has caused economic harm to the UK, and this has caused support for it to drop; but MPs are not looking to change tack and "make the best of Brexit" (as polls suggest the populace wants), they're doubling down to make it worse.

"Democracy is the worst form of government - except for all the others that have been tried". I would suggest the same holds for most of the variations, no system will keep all the people happy (or be perfect).

Personally I am prefer the grander bargains of democracy; transparency (vs back room deals), rule of law (vs corruption), and accountability (vs protection by / for the party). I also would prefer rationality over tribalism, but I suspect that might be too much to ask of humanity.

>effectively ban

How so? Western platfroms bailed PRC after they were unwilling to handle PRC legal requirements that every PRC company has to deal with. Reasonable requirements like media filtering that western companies were eventually forced to adopt a few years later because it's obvious PRC was precient that attention driven platforms caused violence/destability if left unchecked.

Ergo both FB and Google had internal initiatives to re-enter PRC market after domestic pressures to improve moderation capabilities enabled them to comply with PRC laws. Until internal FB/Google drama killed the effort. It has very little to do with "totalitarianism" because FAANG + co. was eager to compete in PRC market, until they realized they couldn't, or their employees wouldn't let them. Meanwhile Bytedance/TikTok keeps operating in US because they don't mind working around bullshit like Trump's EO. At the end of the day, it's US corporate incompentence and broader political culture that thinks US companies should operate in other markets with impunity that flunked them out of PRC market while dealing with regulatory push back else where.

If US wants to pull national security card to keep down PRC platforms, they have a right to. But don't pretend it's about competition. Bytedance/TikTok flourished in the west for the same reason FB/Google/Twitter failed in PRC - Chinese platforms know how to put up with regulatory/political bullshit and become more competitive because of it. Like TikTok isn't huge in US because domestic US laws is keeping FB down. It's huge because the kind of content that survives Chinese censorship designed to mitigiate political divisness is the kind of opiate that most people would rather consume.

"Single line diagram" is common in utility power, because the electricity itself is 3-phase so drawing individual conductors and components would clutter the diagram with information not needed at a high level.

Many discrete components are omitted as well; the idea is to give the operators an immediately-comprehensible sense of how much power is flowing where, and where the measurement and interruption points are. Little more is needed at that stage.

Firefox uses SQLite for on-disk cache backend. Not the latest buzzword, but not exactly antiquated. I expect a cache backed in Chrome to be at least as fast.

In most cases a cache saves bandwidth and reduces page load time at the same time. Internet connection which is faster than a local SSD/HDD is a rare case.
