> In addition, I would've guessed that the median copywriter salary would have been far lower, as my perception was that there is a far greater supply of candidates for copywriter jobs than scientist jobs in the US (maybe this is offset by fewer scientist positions?)

Probably, but given that ~20% of Americans are functionally illiterate, while ~40% have a college degree, the supplies might not be too different. Reading and writing are also skills which are neither prestigious nor especially lucrative, while scientists of any kind are esteemed pretty highly.
I have a Crescent Elder and without assistance on max it feels like I cycle on wet sand with flat tires. I think I'll get an Ecoride next time. Old ladies wosh past me uphill and they put zero effort into pedaling while I have to use a slightly lower gear and pedal faster.

I teach kids how to solder at the local Makerspace, I start with SMT first because it's easier - through hole requires more skill and you have to be more aware of heat management to do it well.

We stockpile old proto boards that were never used for practice and give the kids old motherboards and hot air to scavenge from for practice
If there was lack of supply and excess demand, it would show in higher pay.

Wait a minute - Why was Android or iPhone - built by West allows everything... Or if tiktok are the topdog in writing apps and FB missed out on writing these? Sour grapes?
They don't deliver value as rapidly as devs do. Hardware has massive lead time and substantial pre-production costs, can't possibly compete with iteration rate of pure software.
As someone who just makes Crud apps can someone please ELI5 this. Why is this a big deal and why are people freaking out about intel chips becoming obsolete overnight ?

> Everything they're accusing TikTok of - from data harvesting to the government having access to said data - is true for western companies as well and that should be the problem. Not the fact that the data is now in the hands of the Chinese but that the data is being collected at all provided to the government.

Yes western governments are totally full of shit too, the proof of this is that Julian Assange is still being crucified for leaking information, for being a whistle blower.

We're all so trained to thinking the Government is ok now that it's really hard to know what to do about it.
> billions of devices in the wild which will become e-waste overnight

Not just e-waste, they can also become a huge liability. In a presentation, the authors mention that one of the CPU families which have this vulnerability were used in Tesla cars. Tesla apparently switched to AMD APUs around December 2021.
Meh, Microsoft is enormously different than they used to be. They still might not be what you want, but they aren't the same.
> Who cares? Is this an American thing to always brag something about race, or how much "non-racist we are"? Nobody gives a sh* here.

As another European who lives in Asia, I don't understand this European love of blanket ranting against Americans. Yes, the US still has a racism problem. In fact, every country in the world has racism problems.

That doesn't make the topic of who can get elected irrelevant. Can you imagine ANY kind of foreigner getting elected into government in China? Or even in, say, Germany? These are different degrees of cultural openness.
Netflix doesn't sell you movies, it sells you access to their services. If you look at their site now, it offers you to "create or restart your membership" to their "streaming services".
If he purchased Netflix membership for a year and lost access before that year is up, I'm sure he'd be equally miffed.

Minecraft sells you the game - even right now, their site says "Get Minecraft" - in fact, it defaulted to Japanese for me where it says "MINECRAFTを購入" which is an even more unambiguous "BUY MINECRAFT".

It is like the difference between buying a e-book on Amazon and having it removed remotely, versus a book being removed from Kindle Unlimited. You have to be willfully obtuse to not understand why people might have different expectation for the two types of transactions, legalese in be damned.

We are currently having a hell of a time trying to hire embedded developers

In my opinion that is essentially almost the same problem, though depending on the university/courses followed. To be able to program bare metal one needs some knowledge of bare metal, which is what an EE has. To be able to program one also needs some programming knowledge, which most EEs have. However if you take a 'standard' software engineer then they often only have a clue about the latter.
This makes microcode more auditable to most people. Relying on the “security” of most people being unable to inspect their microcode is not really a good position to have.
Underlying your point there is an assumption that Chinese government = American government in it's misuse of data etc.

I don't think this is true. And I've run a privacy advocate organisation and I'm a complete Snowden fanboy. But if I had to choose between giving my data to the CCP or the American government, the choice is easy.

Even though a lot of data collection was done without warrants in the USA, there's been a lot of blowback, and there is still changing presidents/executive, changing representatives, and rule of law (not perfect, but still there).

On the other side you have a CCP rolling out social scoring, running concentration camps, etc etc.

It's just not the same. Let's not pretend it is somehow equivalent.
It's more that America is also a foreign government that exploits our data for surveillance or espionage to many of us.
> Which machine language is the microcode written in?

Seems logical that it would be mostly be standard machine code, since there are instructions which translate 1:1 to microcode (I assume) no use translating everything, that’d require more space and be harder on everyone for little reason.

Though there might be privileged instructions which would only be available in microcode (would be rejected by the frontend), and which you would have to reverse-engineer separately.
The US uses "security risk" as an excuse to force TikTok to store data and code on US servers, so they can collect this data and learn how TikTok works and has become so successful.

Now that they have what they need, they use the same excuse for market protectionism, trying to remove TikTok so US alternatives can take its place.

A tactic well-used by the US.
Your first argument sounds like appeasement, didn't work so well in WW2. Sounds like burying your head in the sand hoping no one will do anything bad.

I think the parent post means top dog in military and power sense, not welfare of citizens which is all well and good until another nation is trying to undermine your core values.

> Your successor will be judged by the standard you set

What successor are we thinking of here? Is that China? India? Russia? These are all very scary regimes.
There was a rule when foreign companies have to partner with a local one. This rule was recently relaxed; for example there was some Tesla factory a while ago that had 100% foreign ownership.
Surely the biggest problem with any social media is the ability to influence it's users and promote or demote certain content more than the data collection in itself. We should probably be careful allowing any other nation having the potential to influence public opinion if the last few years are anything to go on.
Yes, the difference is the "powered" part in the cited document. It's not terribly clear because they don't explicitly exclude acoustic bikes but they also never include acoustic bikes in any category that is to be legislated (article 4).
Is the data the issue? Or is it ongoing interference with the algorithm that pushes content to users that's the real issue? Tweaking what the users see affects those users far more than just selling their data to make money.
Not that I condone secret services collecting data in the way they do, but you're confusing state agencies collecting data with private companies collecting data.

And while I do think that state agencies nowadays have crossed most lines of what may be be deemed acceptable it should still be clear that in some cases it's necessary for a government to have the authority to do things a normal citizen doesn't (eg you're not allowed to sentence people to jail, vigilantism etc).

Also one of the articles is actually about a German court striking down one of the surveillance tactics so this just sounds like whataboutism to defend one nation and bash another. Despite all its faults, concerning spying and data-collection, the EU is likely the smallest offender out of the big players in this world.

Come on you guys don't think the US has made a deal with ByteDance during the Trump years. US data most likely will go through US owned data cables the NSA can spy on. The rest is just fud to make sure the next social media app will be a US one.
Optimized code takes longer to write and is often more complex and less readable and less maintainable. Since software engineer salaries costs are higher than hardware costs it would take way longer and cost more to optimize all code.

When you're writing code sometimes you need to refactor, requirements change etc.

You may focus on optimizing code for saving 3 nanoseconds on code that doesn't run that often.

Optimization is important, and can save money on hardware resources, but focusing on the wrong things to optimize can be costly and make the application more difficult to maintain.

Once you identify the bottlenecks of the application you can focus on optimizing these.

Obviously that doesn't mean you should throw away resources, so it's always a good idea to use static analysis in combination with code reviews to avoid unnecessary use of resources, like repeatedly doing a costly operation in a loop that always yields the same result (it can be done before the loop starts, or you can memoize/cache the result to reuse it), caching network/database requests that are expected to return the same data, use a connection pool for expensive resources like database connections...

But more advanced optimization should be reserved for bottlenecks.
Considering how many shootings happen in the US and so many victims being little children in schools, I find it odd that you think it's a great place to prosper when being shot at is a real life threat esp. for those who can't even protect themselves.

As an outsider, to me the American society doesn't seem like a sustainable one. And it corroborates the fact that so many Americans are emigrating out of America.
Those are just bugs from engineers who assumed that such a common understanding existed. Bug reports should be filled, that's all.
> Make the collection itself illegal, give users control about their data

Here is another idea that could give users control about their data, and that could be more easily accepted by governments and companies.

All the data of user X living in country Y should be stored on a server handled by country Y. Moreover, add the following features:

- User X should be able to see all the people and companies that have access to his or her data.

- Country Y could put some tax on each request, that should cover at least the costs for maintening the servers.

This would give users more control about their data, and this would give countries more compensation on the monetizable data coming from its land.

The compensation would be a motivation for the governments to implement and maintain these servers.

Moreover, as opposed to a full ban on data collection, this approach might be accepted by companies since they would still be able to work with users data: just now they would need to pay for them and also they would need to let users know exactly who they sell the data to. In particular, if they sell the data to agressive ads companies, this would be known by the users and this could decrease their reputation.

From a technical point of view it seems doable and a service with similar features is already implemented in Estonia for example [1].

Buddy I don’t know what to tell you here other than the noise a person makes after snorting a pill that was explicitly designed and engineered to be unpleasant to snort is not a normal noise.

Edit: This is the funniest exchange I’ve had on this website, thank you. “Preferring people don’t do lines of apparently excruciating substances right next to me, at work, in an office, while I’m literally on the phone” being “moralizing” is hilarious.

The problem with skipping major optimizations is that the tech debt grows with time.

The ROI calculation is tough, but there are things the simply make sense by looking at the data, e.g. find underutilized resources based on the native tools in the cloud infrastructure environment.
>>They must obey standard speed limits so 50 km/h in cities or 90 outside (good luck with both of them) or whatever the limit is.

There was a court case about this actually, lol. A cyclist was caught by a police car going above the posted speed limit(I think it was 30km/h where he was), and he refused to accept the ticket. The case went to court and he argued that since the law doesn't require bicycles to be fitted with any instrument to measure speed, he is not required to know the exact speed he's travelling at. And weirdly....the court agreed and the ticket was cancelled.
No. There is no such thing as a "literally killer feature" unless it is some feature that can cause death. A killer feature in this case is exclusively figurative and adding "literally" is wrong to do.
This hypothesis is still part of some anti-meat propaganda. They start from the idea that red meat is bad, and then they retroactively try to adjust their "science" with creative solutions.
Research done in Italy about the Sardinians showed that the people who got to live longer where specifically the shepherds. They had a very peculiar life style which brought them to get much more exercise and to eat more animal sourced foods.
The remaining townfolks had a more "average" lifespan even though they shared the same genes.
Lacking? That's putting it mildly. In a lot of poor areas - or areas that are populated mostly by minorities - education is just poor. As in, so poor that there are issues transferring college credits other places in the world.

Realistically, you have it backwards. In some areas, the education is fine. In many - probably the majority - it simply isn't and you'll be indebted for the rest of your life unless you are really lucky. We (Americans) pay teachers poorly and treat a number of students like criminals while punishing those same students in ways that they cannot get the same education as their peers. And this is after we've failed to make sure children have food and housing so that they can put effort towards learning.

"Lacking in some areas"... yeah. With a generous definition of some.
Well worth the click.
Stupid question if you'd ask me. You can build anything, really. Whatever you set your mind to mate.
I'm familiar with these two things:

- The Great Depression was the acute and proximate cause behind the rise in support for the Nazis. Their popularity went up by ~20-30% due to this one event.

- The Russian Revolution and the attempts of communist revolutionaries in Germany in 1919 was the defining event of Hitler's psyche, according to historian Ian Kershaw

>> If you want to get on roads you need to sustain 50-60km/h

I'm sorry, but that's just not true - again, I used to cycle absolute loads(several thousand km a year) and "sustaining"(doing it for a long period of time without getting absolutely destroyed) 50km/h is extremely hard, you need to be a pretty good cyclist and on a good road bike.

And no, you don't need to be keeping up with traffic, in cities or otherwise. Don't see why you think you should.
Lots. It's very common, especially at extremely expensive sushi places, for some types or cuts of fish (or other seafood) to be cooked, and to be sauced differently than others. Go to some $200+ a meal places and you'll definitely eat quite a bit of it.

I think the most common way I've had it cooked it blowtorched, but some types of clams are baked, others are grilled, etc.

That's not unreasonable.

I don’t buy it. Even before mass adoption of integrated circuits capitalism was on a tear in the 20th century. We had Ford cranking out mass-produced automobiles on assembly lines, prefabricated homes, nuclear energy, advances in medicine and sanitation, advances in aerospace, and so on.

While integrated circuits are great and clearly driving large parts of the economy, they aren’t the “source” of our economic success, but actually the latest manifestation of a long line of advances that have come out of a well functioning economic system.

You can clearly see this distinction in fields like software engineering, where theoretically every country in the world is on an equal playing field, but the US still dominates. It’s because the economic system in the US is superior, and less capitalistic systems are not as good at driving innovation.
