Really surprised by the sheer amount of failures, though. I get that building businesses is hard but it's a pretty scathing indictment of the dragons' ability to invest.

> Everything is deprecated at unbelievable pace, you can't keep track of it unless you work full time in the field.

Is this really true? The same JavaScript I wrote 3 years ago still work, for multiple different applications. It's really uncommon that browsers break "user-space" JavaScript, I can't even remember the last heavily dependent API that got removed and cause havoc.

What does change very often is the latest trends/fads in JavaScript frameworks/UI libraries, but if you pick one and stick with it, it won't magically break because JavaScript changed. I think what's causing your problem is here is the want/need to stick with the latest flavor of frameworks/libraries instead of becoming deeply familiar with one and sticking with it.
And if you don't like it, don't do it.
Ah. So part of the fun is not knowing which move is forbidden, ahead of time.
I would say that we failed to establish an (educational) system that would produce higher average of so-called "mediocre" minds. When you have a educational system that is, in it's core, unchanged for more than 100 years, and where the only goal is to enable everyone to pass and not to learn, then it is hard to see any other outcome.
Where exactly does this “Han” stuff come from because most people in China are not actually han and those in Taiwan are not han.
> they shouldn't be about work at all

Other tax systems may vary, but in the UK if you have an offsite and it's not overwhelmingly for work (think agendas, sessions, meetings, etc. as proof) - the employee gets taxed on the value as if it was income.

There are ways for the employer to meet the additional tax burden, but far easier to just add in a work component and call it an offsite.
FTX vs. Amazon
This reads like marketing material for your product rather than an unbiased comparison.

Being in memory vs Neo4j doesn’t even seem like a fair comparison. I would hope to god your product is faster for that reason. But it’s like comparing a minivan vs an electric smart car. One is quick and fast but it has its limitations, and the other option is more versatile.

Also I think you’re limiting yourself if the positioning of your product is purely as a counter part to Neo4j, and riding on their coattails.

Glad to see some thoughts about benchmarking, but every vendor makes such a thing and, surprise surprise, they’re always better than the rest.

If ever there was a valid application of monopoly abuse laws, it is Apple's extortion for no value provided. Saying that as a blue blooded iFan who owns one of nearly every Apple product and service out there including the Apple Cloth. It is disgusting what Apple is doing. And it makes no sense that it is getting away with it. And if Google is doing the same, well then both need to be set right.

They're good for teaching a McKinsey 3 horizons model and realizing you're stuck on horizon 1 for 5+ years because you never cared to get input from the line who actually does the work and has something to say.

A team off-site is infinitely more valuable at the same cost including more people and less BS consultant frameworks.

What really should happen is after these off-sites, a cross-comparison is made and executives can get reality checks that work aligns or it doesn't. That way there's no surprises when people start leaving or nothing gets done because too much is expected in a just do it fashion.

> using image translate mode on some Japanese and the results were not very good,

I think the honest truth is that Japanese is the ultimate challenge of any translation too.

My Japanese friends tell me that DeepL is about as close as you will ever get to a passable translation quality.

But DeepL does not do image translation.

On a recent trip to Japan I installed six image translation apps on my phone.

None were perfect, I found Naver Papago to be the most consistently usable (although it was far from perfect).

Interesting observations I made during the extensive testing:

1) The majority of image translation apps don't like Japanese when written vertically, I found they perform best with horizontally written Japanese.
2) All image translation apps *REALLY* don't like hand-written Japanese. Some of them *MIGHT* translate *SOME* of the text. But really all of them only really work consistently with machine-printed text.

6.6 million confirmed COVID deaths, but excess mortality from all deaths compared to previous years is 16-28 million.

Strangely, the two measures only diverged from July 2020. It could be that:

- the initial strict lockdowns prevented deaths from more diseases

- some later deaths were caused by COVID indirectly (without it being registered as the cause)
Wow checking all of those apps before travelling seems so much inconvenient compared to owning a 200€ dive computer that lives in the bag with all the dive stuff and one can grab on the way out.

I personally loathe apps. I travel regularly and have no hotel app, no airline app, no ticketing app.

But here in sweden they are moving train tickets online, so in major stations there is ONE ticket machine and in minor station there is none.

However it's all done with sms/email, no apps.

SSH's encryption isn't much different from TLS. The big difference is in how the authentication works. The way most people use SSH, essentially all certificates are self-signed, and the only way it knows which servers to trust is by storing a list of certificates it's seen before, so you're just hoping that you don't get MITM'd the first time you connect. It's not scalable to a web browser where you're connecting to thousands of hosts you've never seen before.
Some countries (UK, France, Denmark) show confirmed Covid deaths outstripping excess deaths. I wonder why that is.

While they may be powerful, and they definitely are, they’re pushing out quite a bit more heat and requiring a decent amount more power to get there.

Though it’s impressive how much efficiency they’ve squeezed out of that node regardless.

Years ago I used to work in this area and you should not underestimate what a difficult thing "cause of death" is. At the time we mostly worked with the initial condition which led to death. But in-between that and death could be quite a few other conditions. There are relatively few ultimate conditions. Trying to apply more than one just confuses the stats/people. But our approach had one case of "flat feet" as a real cause of death! You can't win.

That makes excess deaths valuable in the case of COVID.
If the market is a distributed algorithm, then money is a representation of some of its free variables.

Both are made up in the sense that the algorithm itself can be modified by regulation or social convention. There's even a field of economics dedicated to finding out how to engineer such an algorithm (a mechanism) to satisfy a given objective.

But if the algorithm is more or less stable, then it makes more sense to study it rather than just parts of its state. That's the difference.

I find it comical that the US educates more than 90% of top engineers yet we don’t control 90% of crucial chip-making assets.

We need to implement some type of conditions for anyone seeking education here in the US especially in institutions that are backed by US tax dollars. We need to stop handing out education to the very people who are dead set on competing against our national interests. In other words, stop training the enemy.
So is it because of C++ vs Java?
Well, not everything can be written just to these differences, a lot of stuff can influence results, architecture, database isolation level etc. One of the many reasons is definitely a C++ and Java argument. Take a look at memory usage, here, you can see how JVM is memory hungry. Also, it takes time to warm JVM and Neo4j, so it is another penalty for the same reason.

So far, on this dataset and scale, we didn't encounter but we have plans for a bigger dataset and more complex queries, you can take a look at the limitations part of this benchmark.

What are the downsides, Memgraph and Neo4j are currently a bit different vendors, Memgraph is an in-memory database, while Neo4j is on disk. So in Memgraph's case, you are exclusively using RAM as a storage but gain speed, we have snapshots for disk for recovery, etc. While Neo4j is on disk, not-in memory but they are loading a bunch of stuff in RAM and consuming waste amounts of RAM, so it is hard to give pure distinction.
Is this called "Human" chess because top engine moves would not be humanely possible?

I have a low chess rank (900 on chess.com), yet on an okay game 25% of my moves will be "top engine moves": https://i.imgur.com/TGaDtzr.png

I could even easily find games where I had 50% of top engine moves.

It's really not exceptional. Often the top engine move is the only good move and that only good move is pretty obvious.

I thought the problem this was literally meant to solve was the ambiguity about what a viewport is on mobile browsers with various browser ui elements (address bar, keyboard) taking up space.

That is much more complex than those terms. For one, knowledge is transversal ("zero" is not e.g. a "cultural appropriation", etc).
To be honest, I'd be fine with Apple putting an 'unlocked' mode behind a massive warning screen that doing so removes the ability of Apple to protect them from bad actors (with an optional notification system so I know if my parents have been coerced into doing this).

However let's be honest, that wouldn't satisfy Facebook, Spotify, Epic et al because most people wouldn't do this so it wouldn't really help them. Facebook, Spotify & Epic don't care about user freedom, they just want to get the 30% cut back and to track you more than they're currently allowed.
I had only read up to Joel's self-correction (last message of Nov 18, 2022) and my impression was that the TrustCor rep was being evasive and kept changing her story. For example, the CA doesn't operate out of Arizona, that's just where they keep a bit of equipment -- except then it does. And not being able or willing to answer some very simple questions.

That's on top of the technical and legal evidence of the companies basically being the same company.

The wall-of-text could be a result of unfair accusation, sure. No doubt she's under a lot of stress either way! And I did think that some of the accusations in the thread were a bit harsh, sarcastic, or otherwise inappropriate. But the facts stand.
Why does this bury the understood solution so far down?

Why did TSMC agreed to give away the most important technology to a foreign country? It doesn't look like a choice one would do voluntary.

In my opinion, they should better give away some outdated technology like 45 or 65nm.

This reminds me of China which forced some Western manufacturers to transfer technology to them.

>>- build quality

This is part of the marketing delusion, multiple people have done A/B testing to clearly show Apple Build Quality is either on par with the rest of the industry or in many specific examples WORSE, people that claim this often have ZERO experience with non-apple products or are comparing different classes like a budget consumer level Lenovo to the pro line of apple, of course of $500 unit will be of less quality than a $2500 unit

For an example of poor build quality / engineering Check out Louis Rossmans' "Think Different" video where he outlines some of the various engineering problems Apple has had

>>- it mostly just works.

I see the often repeated, I have had android phone for decades and never had any issue with them, they just work as well. I am not sure what is "not working" on an Android, I can also say i have never had an Android phone that I had to hold "correctly" in order for the antenna to work...

Again I think this stems from comparing different classes of phone, Apple only makes Mid to High eng phones, (which is the market I am in for Android devices I tend to buy the Flagship from the manufacturer) they do not make budget and entry phone, these low end phones will have more problem. Would it be better to just price out entire segments of the population? That does not seem to be socially moral

How exactly do you propose to do that?
The issue with most developers is they don't care about being burnout or not. I've seen many of them don't care about, instead of spending 1 or 2 day for automation, they keep pushing the boundaries of manual, repitition to next levels, leading to burnout.

Burnout is the result of lacking of automation.

The reason is simple: Manual, repetitive job is what they're paid for, and also task automation is HARD.

One example: Ruby on Rails is the result of automation to remove all manual and repetition when working on a web application (poiting at you, Enterprise Java). And the result is, all Rails developers are happy (!= burnout)

This just doesn't reflect reality at all. There are vast drops in the domestic production of things like cars (-85%), motors (-70%), and white-goods (-50%) due to a collapsed import chain. (Russian government source: https://rosstat.gov.ru/storage/mediabank/87_01-06-2022.html) Key economic indicators are flashing red - e.g. non-tax/oil tax revenues are down 20% YoY (Russian Finance Ministry figures from last week). If these are the official Russian government stats, it's likely the real numbers are much worse.

Cars and motors are dual use goods (so the collapse of Russian domestic manufacturing of them is militarily relevant), but even setting those aside and looking purely at single-use military goods, there's persuasive evidence that the Russian military is increasingly reliant on Iranian drones and equipment (https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2022/10/russias-use-ira...). Vast numbers of Russian equipment have been confirmed destroyed or captured by observers such as Oryx, and those are just the visually confirmed losses you can check the evidence for yourself (https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-docum...). No country would be able to replace those losses without switching to a full war economy, which Russia has not done (and which would only be a necessary but not sufficient condition for replenishing these kinds of losses).

> Taiwan is not able to defend itself without US aid.

If you look at a topographic map of Taiwan, it's not so obvious. Rough terrain coupled with the fact that an amphibious assault is needed to even get to Taiwan, and then the troops there need to be resupplied by sea and air (both of which require infrastructure which can be sabotaged), make Taiwan a very good defensive position. Of course it couldn't last forever without external help, but even on it's own it's plenty to cause a massive embarrassing bloodbath.

I'm not familiar enough with it to assess its veracity, but Serge Egelman's Rachel-as-victim theory is interesting in an I-wouldn't-have-thought-of-that way.

> Based on that understanding (and again, please let me know if any of that is incorrect), I personally believe it's possible that Rachel may be a victim here, if she really is the primary TrustCor shareholder (e.g., maybe the company was given to employees, after it was no longer useful). If TrustCor's private keys were compromised at its founding or before (e.g., so that Packet Forensics could sell TLS-interception boxes), the company itself would have little continued value, so long as it passed its audits (and remained trusted by browsers and operating systems). It's therefore possible that Rachel had no awareness of this, and as a result is in the denial phase of realizing that she's the victim of a scam. This is not a statement of fact, I'm just offering it as a possibility.
