As outlined above, simply having a US-based supplier or customer might be enough for a business to be in violation of GDPR.

Even if your entire business is offline and all your processes are still paper-based (which today would be highly unusual, even in less digitized countries such as Germany, where quite a few businesses actually still rely on paper and - indeed - fax for at least some of their processes), that might still be the case.

More realistically, any run-of-the-mill SMB will use at least some digital tools, e.g., for accounting or for running their website. Relying on EU-based suppliers and EU data centres exclusively or even going all the way and storing everything on-premises doesn't necessarily mean you're compliant with GDPR.

If only one of those EU-based suppliers has any dealings whatsoever with just one US-based company you're technically in violation of GDPR again.

Airbus is a French company. France is part of NATO. In the event of war, France and the US would likely be obligated to be on the same side by their NATO treaty obligations.

I don't think you are very informed on this matter.
The way you're framing makes it sound unique to China. PRISM [1] hasn't gone anywhere and has certainly only expanded since the leaks. Google, Apple, Microsoft, and many others were all participating companies. If China starts stooping to the same level here they would be obligated to ban products from these companies and more. If they want to make a spectacle of it, they could even have a kangaroo court committee hearing where they ask these companies about their relationship to the NSA and other alphabet agencies.

Any country operating in any country anywhere is going to subject to the whims and influences of the government in their home country. Some make it more or less overt, but pretending this is some discovery or "them vs us" thing is absurd. This whole affair is another step in the apparent goal of escalation with China, to what purpose - I have no clue.

Endless Poetry (Poesia sin Fin) was for me one of the most beautiful and touching movies I ever watched - yet, it certainly was also very tough to watch at times. Some scenes pushed the cringyness factor to the limit. Other scenes were so mesmerizing that I'm coming back to them from time to time.

> so the driver's door opens like a suicide door, while the passenger one opens like a conventional door.

Is it really more dangerous than a normal door? Someone is going to use it only when the car is parked anyway.

(I'd used the oposite design. A normal door for the driver that is always present and when parked in the street opens the door into transit, and a weird door for the passenger that opens the door into the sidewalk. Am I missing something?)
In other words, one is not allowed to speculate about a different outcome if NATO hadn't pushed forward so aggressively.

There is a lot to read between the lines, but it is guess work based on supply chain advisories and high level behaviors of govt entities on both sides and our community is good at missing the forest for the trees on this speculative thinking. I think also there is the possibility of minimal actual wrong doing. It could just be entirely political.

This is a very detailed examination of Huawei's ownership structure: [0].

It was written after claims that Huawei is secretly state-owned. The author goes into some detail about Chinese corporate law, and shows that Huawei is effectively employee-owned (effectively, because Chinese corporate law limits the numbers of shareholders in private companies, so there is a legal structure that holds shares on behalf of employees).

> It might hurt first sale more than it hurts resale, if people actually care, which could be a good thing.

If consumers were rational, that's how it'd work. They pretty rarely are though.

> But I’m not sure the analogy to DLC games works here, you’re talking about DLC value that you purchased above and beyond the initial price of the game. The game itself doesn’t lose resale value, it’s the value of your DLC that doesn’t transfer.

It's barely even an analogy it's so exact. You could just call acceleration upgrades and heated seats and whatever DLC, it's the same thing.
I would take something said by an employee on a public platform with a grain of salt. Specially after how Elon recently treated employees not agreeing with him.
My guess would be that he knows what he wants and wouldn't dance to their fiddle, plus his ideas and methods must seem super risky from a producer's perspective.
I live in France and while we do not have public records (or just a very few), we do not have identifiers that can be easily used to do something nefarious. Our social security number, or the tax one is not used anywhere as a secure identifier (as opposed to, say, US with their SS# that is tragically comical).

We do like secrecy, though, and opening up the tax reports and addresses would be a 12 on the Richter scale of earthquakes. I do not know whether that would be good or bad but it would lead to all sorts of social unrest.

Let me ask you an honest question.

If you had to wake up tomorrow, as either a foxconn iPhone factory worker, or a Berkeley graduate student, which would you pick? How different do you think those experiences are?
A couple of years ago, I did the Cape Wrath Trail (230 miles +/-) in the Scottish Highlands. 17 days with endless rain (+/-). I had a Mountain Equipment jacket and Rab non-goretex pants/trousers. Temperatures were mild. Can't imagine trying to wear wool (other than the smartwool t-shirt/fullsleeve tops I did wear). The GTX did wonderfully.

I would never wear GTX for trail running, for the reason you highlight. But then for trail running, short of a torrential downpour with cool/cold temps., I doubt I would wear anything waterproof at all.

It's a fair point that with venting, PU might be much better today than the PU shells of my youth, which were totally unvented.

The Price of Paper
Until your (to extend your example) container orchestration is complex enough that that too requires faster/less permissioned iteration than infrastructure-as-code provides, in which case you need to reimplement the paid service locally. Hopefully then the paid service is open source or has some good-enough-for-your-needs analog like this.

FWIW, while the above sort of recommends kubernetes-everywhere, I'm happy to make a bet on a service like AWS Fargate because I _don't_ think I need to iterate on container orchestration much (as an application developer). Something like DynamoDB, by contrast, seems quite treacherous to build atop, given how closely an application's code is likely to be tied to its primary database.
The government enforcing who is and isn't allowed to talk about "controversial topics" is a slippery slope I don't want to come close to approaching. Ban calling for acts of violence, sure, but beyond that let people make their own decisions.

The populous will be much better served by learning how to look at a bunch of actors* making a bunch of conflicting statements about a topic and gauging the net ground truth themselves than simply relying on the government to be the divine truth-tellers without question.

When they get bit here and there and lose some money, that's a pretty important lesson in returns too good to be true.

> Spheres also power a petname linking system, a kind of hyperlocal distributed DNS.

> @gordon/composability

This is where (one of) the problem lies, in my view.

@gordon is essentially an equivalent of a DNS system. The difference, however, is that you are trying to identify a file. There should be only one namespace, not many. @gordon/composability shouldn't be different than @simon/composability. "composability" should be simply the unique ID for a specific file.

I dislike when a discussion turns into "I have to teach you the basics now". I'm just not willing to engage in that most of the time with strangers on the internet because they usually don't want to be taught, they want to be right.

Explaining that you can express complex dynamic lifetimes in Rust using 'unsafe' and module-level safety is a waste of my time because it's empirically true.

You just made all that up. The foxconn dorms are free. There is no "foxconn bucks".
I second this. Twitter and all other platforms need to start providing services that people might actually want to pay for and I do not mean blue checkmarks. Music, movies, games, E2EE messaging/mail, membership driven discounts to partners and so many more options... all with some guarantee of control over ones data and control over what third parties have access to ones data.

Platforms have gone from obeying laws to obeying advertisers ethical and ideological preferences. Every member profile on every system should have checkboxes in a data-sharing tab that shows who wants my data and the platform should give me a financial incentive to leave the access enabled for said party and the ability to mute ads from each third party. If I leave ads from a specific advertiser unmuted then I get discount options with them.

> what does owning a bank do that owning a (for example) car wash or funeral home or laser tag venue doesn’t? Is it purely a scale thing?

All three of those are very much focusing on _cash_ transactions. It would be difficult for any of those to hide wire fraud.

As all of those are references to TV shows revolving around drugs. Drug sales are usually done in cash. If you have over tens of thousands in illicit cash, you need a cash business to mix those transactions in. Clean cash + dirty cash = plausibly clean money. Did your laser tag place really take in 50k in cash a week? That is a harder question to prove than you don't work, where are you getting 25k a week from? You'll need good book keeping.

However crypto investments don't have any cash transactions. You need to make and recieve wire transactions. These transitions are likely legal but still questionable, and most banks will terminate you if you have questionable transactions. Owning the bank means you don't need to answer a lot of these questions like "where did this money come from?"
Fantastic content, thanks for sharing.
That sort of thing is unlikely to happen anytime soon. Not just because it would be hard to build a replacement for reading, but because even if one existed, it would be insufficient. Reading about x doesn't just teach you about x; it also teaches you how to write. [1]

I rea a lot as a kid, and still do, but suck at writing. I think it's at best a tangentially related skillset. Writing is not just about conveying information but doing so in a way that people are enticed to want to read, which is way harder than just the first.
I don't think anyone is discounting the problem -- but they are reacting to the scale. Its like you jumped onto a story about a child stepping on a landmine to complain about your paper cut.
The Importance of Negative Pressure Rooms
> All of that can be accomplished with one-time purchases. What’s the value-add of a subscription?

True, and some of these new car subscription features are indeed being offered as one-time purchases, BMW’s heated seats, for example. The value-add of a subscription is a lower up-front cost in exchange for rent instead of ownership. You don’t have to pay for the whole thing, and you can decide to stop paying for it before you’ve covered the product’s full cost.

> now sellers can’t recoup any of the money they spend

True, and people should (and some will) consider this before buying a new electric Mercedes, right? I hope so. Their FAQ states that the service must be disabled before resale. I’m pretty sure I won’t be buying one of these new. But for people who go in eyes wide open, there’s a decent chance they’ll still sell them eventually. Hey, who knows, maybe they’ll be force to sell for less than the car’s worth because of everyone’s subscription fears.

> It’s brutal for lower-income people

We’ve suddenly skipped a few steps here. We’re commenting on a Mercedes car with an optional feature to increase acceleration to 60 MPH by 1 second. This isn’t a brand that lower-income people are buying, by and large, and isn’t a feature lower-income people will be subscribing to. Cars for the lower-income brackets are already sold with zero luxury features, so I don’t see how this option feature aimed at rich people hurts poorer people at all, and I don’t see the slippery slope clearly in this case either.
Maybe on Amazon. But many quality brands also do blanket 25-30% off sales on their own sites, which is pretty much the best deal you’ll see all year.
I'm an American visiting Paris and have noticed many folks on scooters and ebikes have these skirts that are fabric covers that cover the bike seat and also the legs of the rider when they ride. They also have these mitten like things that attach to the handles that allow you to operate the bike but also protect your hands from the elements. Between those two things, and a decent rain jacket (which you need anyway) it seems to protect folks well and allow them to do just about anything one would do with their car. It's not that far fetched.

I think the simple rule is when you need to persuade when choosing among multiple ambiguous options, you must also rebut counterarguments (even "devil's advocate"), so a meeting is more concise at reaching a decision than an email chain.

So basically any ambiguity about the outcome. When you're not sure what hill to take, when there's competing priorities, when there's conflicting information and you need alignment, when there's risk and you need to spread it appropriately.

The reason you need a meeting is an email by itself will be insufficiently conclusive, and everyone writing emails will be talking past each other.
No, my position is that their situation is not so terrible as claimed by the people who compare the grad students to low paid workers in retail or manufacturing. They are compensated highly in non-financial terms.

More importantly, the main reason people negotiate with one another is that they hope to achieve better outcomes than they can with either a default of no action, or unilateral actions. Imagine that the grad students sit down to the negotiating table with the people determining they pay. They ask for higher pay, and the other side says straight up “no”, and offers no concession whatsoever. What then? At this point, the only option available to the students is threatening some form of quitting, as they don’t really have any other means of leverage.

The point here is that even if they do negotiate, they must be ready and willing to quit if they want these negotiations to go their way, and if they aren’t (and they very much aren’t, as people who are willing to quit grad school simply do exactly that), they’ll keep making a pittance in terms of cash benefits.
