> Before Google China's establishment, Google.com itself was accessible, even though much of its content was not accessible because of censorship.

> Because of its self-imposed censorship, whenever people searched for prohibited Chinese keywords on a blocked list maintained by the PRC government, google.cn displayed at the bottom of the page (translated): In accordance with local laws, regulations and policies, part of the search result is not shown. Some searches, such as (as of June 2009) "Tank Man" were blocked entirely, with only the message, "Search results may not comply with the relevant laws, regulations and policy, and cannot be displayed" appearing.

Google has capitulated to the Chinese government, taken "moral high ground" via their doodles (but only when it won't offend the censors), and absolutely sees itself as a savior of mankind.
I'm not sure how I'm making an assumption. They admit they were unable to form emotional connections prior to this convoluted methodology they've developed.
No, you're being down voted for posting irrelevant information sarcastically.
I use your webfonts helper all the time! Cool to see the tiny redirect app I published 10 years ago used to keep my bookmark working.
I find it funny the photo is of chicken nuggets. A breaded, fried food that makes me think of the worst kinds of meat to eat and the easiest way to hide taste and texture.

I'm hoping this is a good thing but what are the industrial costs? What kind of raw materials are being used to make the lab equipment? How much electricity? Has the math been done or is it just comparing current numbers of livestock versus no livestock.
This is a very slipery slope (where gcc/clang[llvm] just run onto): adding tons of attributes/keywords/"syntax features" which gives the compiler some semantic hints in order to perform "better" optimizations. There is no end to it, this is a toxic spiral of infinite planned obsolescence (and now ISO is doing the same).

There is also this other thing: extreme generalization and code factorization, to a point, we would have no clue of what the code actually does without embracing the entirety of the code with its "model". It did reach a pathological level with c++.

And the last, but not the least: OS functions are being hardcoded in the syntax of the language.

If you push further all those points they kind of converge: compilers will have keywords specific for each performance critical syscall, significant library function, and significant data structure for abstraction (some abstraction can be too much very fast as I said before). There is a end game though: directly coding assembly.
China has already banned Google which is of a similar scale and impact.
That's the problem! I can't tell you what is difficult because it seems so incredibly obvious to me now.

When I was ~12, I had a lot of trouble with it, and the only thing I remember from those times is various attempts to figure out why the compiler wouldn't let me assign a string value to an array. What the hell is an "lvalue", Mr. Compiler?

Now I look at the assignment command above and I recoil in horror, but for some reason at the time it seemed very confusing to me, especially since `char *str; str = "abcd";` works so well. The different between the two (as far as intention goes) is vast in retrospect, but for some reason I had trouble with it at the time.
Commenting on the naïveté of Mastodon users endlessly repeating the history of modernity is a strange way to affirm any position regarding corporations, but your unsolicited reply is pretty clear that you like them.
?? We are not carnivores. We are literally some line between herbivores and omnivores. Carnivores have to kill or they will most likely starve to death. Vegtables and fruits are the natural foods of earth for herbivores and omnivores and some carnivores. You are not killing when you eat plants and fruits. Fruits and vegtables want to be eaten for their seeds to spread. It is not a question of concious vs unconcious. Killing animals when you don't need to is already morally unaccepted in society. Animal life and plant life are completely different. To combine them and act like it is the matter of concious vs unconcious bias is completely wrong. An animal will run till exhaustion to avoid being eaten. A fruit tree is there to be eaten. Plants and fruits don't have a central nervous system where they 'feel' pain. Humans are literally animals. Eat a fruit and plant the seeds and see what happens. Eat an animal and plant the bones and does a new animal come up?
I don't understand.

Ctrl+S gives you a document where the biggest UI element is a box labelled "Choose a location". Clicking on it shows a bunch of locations on my PC (such as my local documents folder) and has a button that says "More Locations".

This "More Locations" button takes you to the same Save As dialog that you would get to from clicking on File -> Save As, same as in every program of the last 30 years. In its left menu it has two giant buttons for "This PC" and "Browse".

What part wasn't obvious to you?

If you're talking about the web apps (who aren't designed for editing local files), File -> Save As has a button called "Save a Copy" that explicitly says right below that "Download a copy to your computer"
what is anyone even supposed to say to this? you have persecutory delusions.

here's an idea: why don't you actually go to your local council meetings and find out how your city is actually run. there's a lot of graft and incompetence and pandering, but I assure you the UN depopulation plans are nowhere to be found.

Soybeans are crushed, meaning the oil and protein are separated. The major crushers are ADM, Bunge, and Cargill. The protein is then toasted into flakes for better animal digestion, and sold to milling operations of meat producers (e.g Smithfield foods). The oil is sold to consumers as soybean oil in most of the world, and marketed as vegetable oil in the US. Hunt-Wesson is the biggest soybean oil buyer in the US.

Your split of 60/40 human/animal split for soybeans is accurate on a calorie basis. I just though I would add some color as to why it is the case… the beans are split.
The PC is sadly moving in the same direction.
There’s a big difference between adding a 10-min option and removing the permanent option though.

Plus, it’s notable that apple didn’t use the same 1 hour / end of day / forever system that they use for location sharing.

Their reasoning behind this debacle wasn't entirely braindead (maintaining battery life at the expense of processing power on a degraded battery).

What was braindead was not giving customers information and control over if the slowdown was enabled.
It was a battery life mitigation solution, that almost all major manufacturers did as well.

One which I think is sensible.
Twitter makes more money showing TARGETED ads, ads that dont have a demo targeting are not nearly as valuable
Wasn't it the other way round? They slowed them down to make them last longer?
To be clear, F-droid is an excellent piece of software. It's small and is used mostly by quite technical people, so it's not as an attractive target as Apple's AppStore. But that's the thing: some technical solutions work amazingly well for the 0.001% (like HN users). But they do not scale to tech illiterate people. It's a completely different problem space.
I don't really consider myself a shill, and yes, the only last 3-4 years but only because I drop them and it breaks. My phones are just phones. I take a few throw away photos with them. I don't pay more that $300 for a phone/text message/camera combo device.
You could try searching for "air quality sensor" on aliexpress. I have experience with this one [0] which purports to measure particles in various units, and I suspect it to be 20-30% inaccurate. The figure it gives for humidity is about 10-20% off from other cheap devices, but the sensor might be more accurate given that the device runs on USB and emits a non-zero amount of heat, which affects the local measurement. It supports data exports in real time over USB serial.

I did this a while back, here's that chart reordered by series+date rather than just date and with the order of the fields switched around.

https://i.imgur.com/idAjB1X.png

so you can see within each server/consumer series it's monotonically increasing, and the server gets bfloat16 and client gets VPOPCNT, IFMA, and VBMI.

so it's really pretty straightforward: are you targeting server, client, or both, and how recent? that will tell you how much of an overlap you've got.

like is that really that bad a chart overall? it's just "newer chips have more stuff", that's not news to anyone, and barely anyone has cannon lake or even rocket lake. ice lake and tiger lake are what you want to target, mostly. Alder lake actually supports everything, but Intel pulled AVX-512 from that series...

and yes, it's annoying that server got stuck in 2017 for 5+ years, ice lake-SP (cooper lake) barely has any penetration either, but the client platform moved right along and supports basically everything except bfloat16. sapphire rapids is cooper lake's successor and the first installations (HPC) were promised in like 2018... they will come online early in 2023 apparently. So they are 5+ years behind schedule because of node problems, things are basically comically bad at Intel and the server division is still not executing/iterating properly.
Very cool!

Serious question: how do you guarantee this service will keep running given you don't monetise it?

I'd rather pay you or have the annoyance of some ads
Smart pointers overcomplicated more than auto_ptr? Default ctors are an overcomplication? Optionals worse than void pointers, variants worse than unions?

> Current practices generate this land via deforestation

Current practices in undeveloped countries. Advanced economies have been reforesting recently.

> “generate actual value via liquidity and loans akin to a real bank”

What’s missing from this picture is actual productive economic activity. Banks make loans to real-world businesses who use it to produce goods and services, and assuming those are desirable in the market, part of the margin on those products ends up paying the interest to the bank.

Crypto lenders make loans to crypto traders who ultimately produce cash by extracting it from other traders and from new investors that bring in real cash into the system at the bottom of the pyramid. There’s nothing producing anything in the hermetic crypto bubble. When the retail interest ended, the system started running out of dollars.
The next build after 90c had the task bar at the bottom. The start menu was redesigned a few times after that build (which is from early 1994). Why would Microsoft leave shut down in the wrong position? Why did it take them until XP to put the programs option closer to the bottom?
Two notes: before scream against Apple remember a thing: a company MUST legally comply with States rules where it exists. Witch means: Apple, based in USA, must allow USA authority access anything on their servers AND Apple in China must respect local laws, EVENTUALLY doing various gimmick to respect both.

The lesson here is not finger point "someone evil" but finger point the use of proprietary software and services. Theater like "Apple do not decrypt phones for FBI" or "Apple censor Chinese Citizens" etc are theater. The reality is that IF you are a company you comply with local laws. If you just publish free software, NOT services, the end user must, formally, comply with local laws.

Sorry for my poor English, not my mother tongue, but I think the concept is pretty simple and anyone with a bit of IT knowledge must know that AND HAVE ALREADY accepted such reality.

For Democracy we can't allow proprietary software nor black boxes. No matter if domestically made or not. Is someone with an IT background do find this as extreme and even criticize Apple for it's choice must stop and think a bit: it's an hypocritical behavior even if genuine.

Looks like the ordering of the parameters makes a difference.
Literally no one worth a mention was saying the animal slaughter industry adds or removes water from the water cycle in meaningful quantities. The issue with their water usage is in the redirection of the limited fresh water sources into the virtually unlimited saltwater oceans, or pollutes it beyond the point of usability for any form of life.
Good news, one of Elon’s top priorities is to remove this nagging stuff and make Twitter fully usable via browser again.

The issue is that 60%+ of all crops are for animal feed.

You are free to believe that that was their motivation, but no such thing was ever “exposed in court”.
And? They were booted out of China over 12 years ago. 3 years ago isn't that long, in that timeline. Given their known attempts to get back in, it's likely there are other such secret initiatives we don't know about.

China represents a huge potential market for Google that their investors won't let leadership forget about.
no, these are really big and interesting back ends. still, socially, that has to be better than _everyone_ breaking out the datasheets...if they even have those anymore
Eagerly anticipating cultured sashimi v0.1 myself but it’s not wrong that this is still an expensive, rudimentary approximation of slaughtered meat products. We’ll get there—for a sustainable planet we have to—but the road is long and we are indeed at the rough beginning.
Vanguard doesn't hold customer funds, they're held by a separate nominee company. More importantly, it's properly regulated.
I had one of these (well, I had a 2010), and sold it in 2016 (it could not accommodate 3 across car seats). While everything you say is true, I suggest those attributes only carry overweight value for people who are inclined to 1) do their own wrenching, or 2) spend a lot of time off road. For normal city use, 4Runners are a really poor option, given how "truck-like" they are, how inefficient their use of interior space is, and how poor their gas mileage is. I would much rather have something like a Forester or even CR-V, or Explorer or Highlander or any of the other unibody AWD car-like options. Even my actual truck (2017 F150, which I bought to replace the 4R) is FAR more pleasant to drive, more useful, and gets better mileage.
Second derivative capitalism will be the end of us all.
I love land cruisers, in particular I'm attracted to the design ethos. Every series and every style. I have a land cruiser sticker on my laptop for that reason. In a society of throw away automobiles, here's something built to withstand. Miss my 250k+ mile 80 series we got rid of because we needed to go down to one car. As soon as I need another 2nd vehicle it'll be a land cruiser (or Lexus LX) or Land Cruiser Prado (Lexus GX here in the states).
Why "meat"? Why not a new name?

Giving a product name that is defined for opposite is wired marketing.
It is ahistorical. Germany outlawed Nazi ideology and went 80 years without renazifying; the danger of such was very real after WWII. Marcuse, a German Jew, was considering the real, immediate, terrifying problem of how to prevent another Holocaust.
Yeah, the 30% sucks and is one of many things I wish Apple'd do differently. But... where else am I gonna go?

Ultimately, I really wish they had significant, competent competitors for the specific sort of thing they do. I like Apple because government has entirely failed to regulate absolutely horrible behavior by software vendors, so at least I can pay Apple to enforce some basic and largely no-brainer regulations instead, but I hate that the OS/platform market is so screwed-up that there's effectively no alternative that offers anything like what Apple does, and not just when it comes to defending against all-too-common bad actors.

Thanks. Does Versoly have an integration with static site hosts other than export option which of course is great. Ideally, I want to "Export or Publish" to my own connected hosts or providers like netlify, vercel etc.
I'm pretty sure this is not true. They slow down the device when battery can't provide enough current to sustain unthrottled CPU. Its happening in the latest iOS. It happened with my 5 year phone few months ago which suddenly turned off. I don't even feel this throttling but it doesn't turn off anymore.

On an unrelated note, my Google Pixel 7 just hanged up. It didn't happen to me since windows XP I think. It's the worst phone I've ever owned.

This is helpful—thank you.

It sounds like as long as there's enough money to pay the admin, the government, secured creditors, and unsecured creditors, anything left over would get split amongst individual investors like me. Is that right?
Samsung Galaxy S23 -- Vietnam, South Korea

Possibly some Google Pixel 7 -- Vietnam

ASUS -- Taiwan

Sony -- Japan

The issue with smaller vehicles, if you do actually go off-road or tow things, is they get destroyed in short order with very few exceptions.

I ended up having to get a proper truck because I kept breaking suspension components in my Forester shrug.

And for all the climate sin folks, it’s to manage 90 acres of previously overgrown timberland which was a huge fire danger and would have gone up in smoke in short order otherwise.

It’s now happily sitting there sequestering far more carbon than the truck will ever release.
Everything is a matter of balance and reasonability. Yes, PM role has existed for decades actually, well beyond Tech (also often called Project Management).
What happened recently is: the Tech Giants organization have become so ... well, Giants, that they had to over multiply this role, as a way to get cross-functional work done, priorities upheld, etc.
Also a matter of choosing to over-specialize engineers (see how hard it is to find full-stacks now), designers, etc. And a matter of how far from the users have pretty much everybody become.
I knew PMs in these Giants for literally the 'edit' button.
Like everything else, the pendulum has swayed to the opposite extreme / exuberance.

Most startups will need PMs, after reaching a certain size and complexity. What I see is that too many startups, well before reaching that stage, have over multiplied PMs.

Finally, when your company is on a clear path to run out of cash, this discussion and trade-off becomes a matter of survival. Not of org concepts.
Agree. There's a bunch of websites I don't visit anymore: Pinterest (you need an account just to browse pictures? c'mon!), Reddit (some subreddits are only available via the app... I'll never install the Reddit app), Instagram, Medium, Twitter, lots of newspapers.

I thought I was going to miss them, but I haven't.
Neither is Tesla.

Musk does not give a shit about the free speech of left-wingers. Tesla's also even more in bed with China than Apple is; both in terms of exploitative labor practices and China owning their demand. And electric vehicles are just a way to greenwash suburbs.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got confused with another thread that was talking about Tesla. Leaving this comment up for posterity.
I have a subscription to all the JetBrains tools. Last time I used DataGrip it did not support array types in Postgres at all which is a deal breaker for me since my project uses them heavily. (e.g. this is why I asked for a PostgreSQL tool rather than a generic SQL tool.)

My main beef with pgadmin4 is that the UI is sadistic when it comes to window positioning.

I'd be happy to get some relief from that, but it seems to me that it ought to be possible to make some user interface which is really cool for browsing tables and rows as opposed to just knocking off the UI from a Java IDE.
China's relationship with everyone else is a larger liability.

Fair enough, but that addition wasn't to solve the problem of templates being too complex, but to support usages that were previously impossible.
Yup. They're barely profitable in terms of the metrics they made up ;)
It breaks my heart to see Western people living such lives. I love the West for so many reasons, but the social construction is a complete broken mess. Family and community is completely destroyed. People live and work only for themselves. The amount of loneliness and isolation is just mind blowing and unbearable. IMO, it's a selfish lifestyle. People who manage to make great success (due to a combination of lack, intelligence, hard work and sometimes just beauty) can live very good lives but the rest are doomed to live miserable, lonely lives and no gives a shit about them until they die. Very sad. I wish you happiness and fulfillment (whatever they are for you).
The timing of the change seems quite conspicuous [1], and it's also weird that Apple would introduce this in China first and only roll it out to the rest of the world next year. The same article mentions that Apple blocks the Taiwanese flag emoji in China, for which it's hard to come up with an explanation other than bowing to censorship.

Or maybe we’re all in filter bubbles, including you.
This is a painfully obvious hit piece and its exactly why MSM is quickly becoming extinct.

They didn't sign a single contract or start a single project and the reason is obvious. They are don't want to end up in a news article like this hit piece was pretending to be, they don't want to be a billion dollar megaproject failure.

Despite how advanced it is, the project is still clearly in R&D phase and looking at the magnitude of the problem they're trying to solve, it will probably stay in R&D for a while.
Maybe you need to snort it.
