I have spent the last 12 years in the startup ecosystems in US, Europe and Asia.

Europe progressed quite a lot and now can be considered a matured one, however compared to US and sophistication of investors, deal-making and deep-tech it is still a young adult compared to the season 50 years old American veteran with scars and experience.

APAC still a teenager in that sense but with a lot of spotlight.

Different cultures, mentality, support system and also chances of making it in the end. I feel like if you have a possibility to be close to the valley, your chances of making it are probably 50% higher than anywhere else in the world and that route actually makes sense.

So you're suggesting that the accounting is fradululent, and nobody figured it out except you? Not the auditors with actual access to the raw data. Not the hedge funds who could have made a pretty penny by shorting the stock and then releasing this information. Not even any whistleblowers who would presumably be eligible for an award.

Or maybe, just maybe, you've just made that up.
It’s just understand the cultural part of it.

Once you do, you don’t see it as a negative and you can kind of observe the signs.

Example, I will follow up on the developer and a task a few hours in. This will let me know if they are on point.

It’s better than waiting days and realizing the task is completely different than what you wanted.

Also - this is a big deal, you need to be self aware and ask yourself if you are explaining what you want in a clear way.

I’ve become better at explaining myself because of working with developers from different cultures to mine.

It isn't specifically "anti-Asian".

A bunch of pro-diversity people see white people do well and get successful. They see the same in Asians. They see the opposite for black and latino. They conclude "we must give black and latino preferential treatment to catch up". It is a bit more elaborate, but not much more than that.

>All Asians?

Yes. Despite their fronts, diversity initiatives don't look much further beyond sex, gender and skin color. You're already one level deeper than most of these politics go.
The more people talk against racism the more racism is generated. As if they are ashamed from their racist practices and they try to exorcise it ... with just talk.

The phrase you are looking for is perhaps "act like a gentleman", among many other ways to describe behaviour that is mature and reasonable, but in any case RMS is not a professional and thusly none of us can demand he act professionally.

Thank you.

It's just so ... different. the term "block" would stop being so meaningful because that path would break up a block and become ...

But your argument is absolutely on point - i agree. It's just hard to imagine what it will look like :-)
The difference is that antidepressants have a temporary effect on serotonin levels and thus need to be taken continuously, while a "trip" on psychedelics appears to actually be able to rewire your brain, so a single dose can have permanent or at least much more long-lasting effects.
> My experience was that for the simplest use cases, the ergonomics were unbeatable.

Exactly.

> the “just a function” interface was a distraction and I found myself wishing for a more conventional RPC interface.

For real-time use cases, I agree. I believe functions are the wrong abstraction here for real-time. I do plan to support real-time but using a "it's just variables" abstraction instead, see https://github.com/brillout/telefunc/issues/36.

> cleverer abstractions usually mean more work overall to integrate everything and boring is better.

Yes, Telefunc's downside is that it requires a transformer. The Vite and Webpack one are reliable and used in production (using `es-module-lexer` under the hood). The hope here is that, as Telefunc's popularity grows, more and more stacks are reliably supported. Also, there is a prototype using Telefunc without a transformer at all, which works but needs polishing.

It's still very useful for people who want to run arbitrary code on your CPU. Both AMD and Intel have severe flaws, called "speculative execution CPU bugs", that can be exploited to extract credentials, encryption keys, session keys etc. from your computer - even information living in other applications or [hardware layer] VM's.
You can demand volunteers act like gentlemen, but you can't demand they act professionally because they are not professionals.
Sure that’s why I said “not all”.

But in general, for the most part, it’s a “thing”.

Let me repeat, it’s not a negative at all since it’s mostly cultural.

The negative only happens when you don’t understand and observe it.
> seeing the world so accurately that it eats away at your hope for a better future

Uh? That's a totally irrational behaviour.
Whatever the state of the world is, everybody has a finite life, so the rational behaviour is to make the best of it.

Also there is the whole scaling issue. What if you have dozens, hundreds or even thousands of viewers who want to take control? That just seems unworkable. Actual stream interaction has to be build from ground up and even then it usually takes away from the game when not in place.
That was my experience. (I tried it for a free trial). Graphics were poor and input lag was abysmal (and made a lot of types of games unplayable).

The point of all this is to have people who are unqualified as individuals embedded deep in every organization who are loyal to and owe their jobs and livelihood not to their own merit, but to external political movements.

Unlike unions, these external political movements do not care about the organizations their members are embedded in, but have other goals which is why they are unconcerned with merit. Unions at least wanted the organizations their members belonged to to survive and employees to have some level of competence.

Well, assume you are using PHP. It’s great to work with someone who knows the ins and outs of the version they are using. What’s new and what’s deprecated.

That comes from reading about the tools.

Domain experience is a given. You need that to do the job regardless.

Pattern reuse is also critical - or you end up reinventing the wheel for every little thing.
I happily used GeForce Now when I couldn't get a new GPU (and later could get but couldn't afford it).

It made sense because the games were bought through Steam and GoG and I paid just for the streaming service. Now I don't have to re-buy the games and even kept saves.
It would depend on the games you play. For example Stadia got games like Assassin's Creed and Cyberpunk 2077 that Xbox Game Pass still doesn't. Their streaming service is still limited to Game Pass games only.
As a society we view “further wrongs” differently. Taking money from someone who stole from you (with the help of the legal system) isn’t considered a further wrong. Criminals rarely utilize the “let’s do no further wrong defense” at sentencing. But maybe they should, as there seems to be a huge appetite for this sort of thing.
They are actively teaching and promoting said freedoms to children. Its not just chain breaking but also bias building.
It makes sense for their intended use:

Google wants googlers and high school students to not use Windows for any reason, and only use chromebooks.

Stadia was a way for people with a chromebook to play Windows games.
Aah, that makes sense, if I'm understanding it correctly, they specified Asians because they're another minority, but disadvantaged by policies that seek to help other minorities.
They were very strict on manual reviews but when numbers became more important they let their guidelines slide.
And it can't be cost issue, the crappiest machines are some cheap laptops from any big box retailer. Okay, that fact itself might make getting them harder, but still. Just buy a once a year a low few hundred euro laptop and add to pile. Rotate in 5-10 years or as they fail.
In which way are Egyptian hieroglyphs and their hieratic form [1] not an alphabet? There is a huge number of ligatures and some determinatives, but that's an ad-on. You can use the single characters like any other alphabet.

You can be in favour of immigration and still object to immigrants being carted (likely illegally) around the country for political stunts.

If you feel you need to call out hypocrisy, why don't you complain that people are not allowed to carry guns into an NRA or Republican convention, or how security and supporters beat up people protesting at trump rallies. Or about senators family members getting abortions while the same senators are advocating for making abortions for any reason (including rape) illegal.
I understand why people would like discussing GPL with RMS, but RMS is not a legal scholar nor has a legal background or education. If we look into the history of GPL we see that RMS himself did not arrive at the finer legal details by himself, but rather through the help by his friend Eben Moglen who is a professor of law and legal history. RMS tend to focus on the philosophy and the strategic use of GPL towards free software goals.

The concept of "linking" in GPL also came from Eben Moglen. The legal theory was fairly simple, ie, would a non-technical judge see a linked program as one large single copyrighted work or two independent separate works (originally in US legal context only)? RMS initially viewed it as two works, but Eben Moglen had a different view about it, which RMS then changed his opinion to.
No, they don't track me across the web ;)

I have js disabled by default on my PC's and laptops. If I need (or want) to use a site that require js, I do so in a VM, and I use that VM only for one or a few related sites (like Hacker News and Slashdot). Each VM has different screen sizes and operating systems / Linux distributions. If I research a subject that is even slightly controversial, I use the Tor browser from a VM or Tails.

But mostly, I just ignore companies and organizations that don't know how to make a website work without js.

Astronomical books regarding heliocentric theory were on the banned book list for centuries.

The banned book list was compiled and maintained by the Church. We can split words whether Copernicus or Galileo were harangued in person and to what degree, but nascent modern astronomy was very much in the scope of Catholic censorship.

I thought that Palantir is way more than a “shiny dashboard”, but that they managed to integrate data access and visualisation very well e.g. BASF is their customer for their Foundry product.

Is there a detail overview somewhere what products Palantir actually has, and what technology it uses for these products?

I like the idea but the problem is that gcc isn't a library, so the AST was going to be "output", so not covered by a license.

They should have moved gcc into being GPL licensed libraries to achieve this.
Google tends to take on problems that have high technical complexity, potential wide user base and extremely low marginal cost per user and monetizable via ads. And they detest manual/field operational work and don't have the institutional muscle to do fast incremental iterative product development. These are good predictors of what product of theirs will succeed vs fail.

Within high technical complexity space, they differ in significant ways with Apple or Tesla – they don't have organizational mechanisms to do deep vertically integrated problem solutioning. Even when they have academically much superior AI tech, their ability to productize those capabilities is slow and less effective due to how cross-organization collaboration works.

On the business side, they don't have a business team really. There's no MBAs scheming new pricing or bundling models nor are there people wanting to chase/beat market competitors. So, whenever they do SKU based pricing or subscription based pricing, they tend to get it less right than, say, Microsoft.

Currently learning to write Thai.

For something really weird check out Burmese characters.

I just can’t begin to wrap my head around it. But was Same with Thai in the beginning.

Learning to read Thai was like being blind and then having the blindfold become less and less opaque each week.

One day it just looks like something really weird and then you start to read street signs, it’s a very strange experience to start learning a language with a totally different character set than English.
Jews were also persecuted because of their overperformance. Too many rich Jews in a city = a reliable recipe for pogrom.
> As a society we view “further wrongs” differently.

Yes, and that includes letting bygones be bygones when we all have terrible injustices in our collective past. This is what a generalized amnesty is all about. The only alternative is a destructive war of all against all, as indeed is often seen in "honor-bound" societies where "the duty of righting wrongs" is taken as an absolute.

Being pedantic (and a smartass) the same, "real-time" original definition is that some calculation/reaction of the system is guaruanteed to be always bounded and within the system rqequirements (usually for it not to fail). So depending in the use case and application, real-time can be sub-second, or even seconds/minutes.

E.g. if the instagram folks require likes to happen in real-time for all users around the world that is fine to be within seconds, but a safety critical application in a car must respond within milliseconds.. "you don't need REAL-time, just sub-second latency" in general does not make much sense, sounds more like this application real-time requirements just lie in the sub-second resolution region?!
How about asking them to behave respectably. A maintainer takes up explicit and implicit responsibilities to their users. If they are unwilling or unable to discharge those responsibilities in a respectable (“professional”) manner they should let someone else take up that mantle who is willing and able. Money changing hands is not material to this question, as not all responsibilities need to involve the exchange of money.

Just like we expect our neighbors to be respectful to us even when we don’t pay them for the privilege, there’s nothing surprising that users ask a maintainer to be respectful of their time. Yes, the users can go somewhere else, just like how we can move if we have a bad neighbor, but that’s just not a good way of going about things.
Pizzaro apparently grew up illiterate, fwiw.
I think that it is up to the toolkit you use. For example with Wayland you could work with a single buffer and commit it, or work with two buffers and swap them. Moreover you can do things on the client side, say:

drawing-buffer (single)
[user copies to] -> commit-buffer
----------------------------------
[system copies to] -> screen

alternatively

drawing-buffer (double)
[user swaps to] -> commit-buffer
----------------------------------
[system copies to] -> screen

etc.
Unlikely, dead dark stars being dark matter candidates is a theory known as MACHOs (massive compact halo objects)

If they exist we would expect to detect them as they pass between another star and earth creating a gravitational lens. You can estimate the number of these MACHOs by looking at a bunch of stars for a long period of time and counting the number of microlensing events you see.

A team did this in 2000 and found that while there were some events, there weren't enough to explain all of the dark matter around the Milky Way. https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0001272

Since you didn't link it yourself I can only assume that this is it.

> This isn't obviously true. Different regions will be valued differently by Russia in terms of control. It is clear that Ukraine is of supreme importance to Putin in terms of geography and cultural ties. If we raise the cost of victory in Ukraine to the point where that cost is higher than the anticipated benefit of occupying the next state, it is possible to prevent any further expansion. I believe we are well past that point in Ukraine. The assumption that any victory in Ukraine for Putin will inevitably result in further expansive attempts is a convenient narrative but doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

It appears your plan is to sacrifice Ukraine to Russia in hopes he doesn't do it again, this is a plan that is bound to fail as the world learnt with Hitler and the Sudetenland.

The only thing that will stop Russia having its colonial ambitions is to defeat them in such a thorough and direct way that they never think of doing it again as it would risk destabilising their country.

This is what is starting to happen in Ukraine, and what should continue to happen. The only way to stop this is force, appeasement never works.
