> This tells me the author has no knowledge of the academic hiring processes. Once you are at the stage of looking for tenured faculty jobs, your publication record is everything.

While this may be true, the fact remains that most academic hires are from the top universities, even for jobs at state universities. If professors are the least susceptible to prestige, then why do we have the situation we do?
I don't subscribe to him either. Some people do, apparently.

Ted Gioia is totally worth it. I haven't looked at Greil Marcus' stuff yet.
Yet, no one is forcing governments to use the system as-designed. In Quebec, on my phone, I can disable quite a few types of cell broadcast alerts like AMBER alerts, Test alerts, etc. The only hidden setting is the one for presidential alerts.

Well guess what? The Quebec government sends every type of alert, even the regular test ones, with the presidential alert severity which makes all of these settings useless and does nothing but irritate the population with spammy messages. Recently, they sent out an AMBER alert that was supposed to be localized in some area and, instead, sent it everywhere in Quebec except for the affected area. This is exactly why people have the right to remain skeptical about alert systems like this one.
You don't need to pay a dividend to return value to a shareholder. You can also tacitly agree to buy back the share later at a higher price. Since this is taxed as LTCG instead of as dividend income, this is incentivized by the tax code.
I experimented with these sorts of adversarial patterns a few years back. It was straightforward to develop a dazzle pattern which messed with your bog-standard Resnet, but they didn't remotely generalize well. Just using a different architecture or sometimes even a different pre-trained model was enough to thwart it.

China indeed has an oppressive government, but it's not much like the impression you appear to be getting. Many Chinese are very happy with the system, especially given how poor they were not long ago. China has lifted many millions out of poverty, in a very capitalist way.

They don't have many freedoms you take for granted, like voting, but it turns out to be less fundamental than you imagine. If the regime does not oppress them they don't feel the need to change it.

Obviously there are horror stories, magnified by their control over media. But we Americans have our own horror stories, and worse, many ignore them despite the fact that they are quite well known.

China isn't the hell scape as it's often presented. Which actually makes them more dangerous to Western ideals and values.

Estimates are an M1 processor costs about $50.

The original Intel processor (Core duo?) was somewhere in the $150-200 range, apparently, in 2006 dollars (but let's assume inflation doesn't exist).

So the CPU is already 1/3 the price, a 50% increase doesn't even get it close to what it had been in the past.

Onshoring is really directed at goods that some other country might use an economic weapon by restricting supply. 99% of stuff doesn't fall into this category. No one cares if coffee mugs and pens are made in China. So you wont see rises there. It's not really the end of globalization for the vast majority of stuff. Of the stuff that remains, you have to consider what fraction of the value chain is actually going to a "problem" country. Often it's the final assembly. On a mobile phone that might be $10 of the store price. So manufactured in a more expensive low wage country at $15, you probably won't notice. Some of the chips in a phone are not made by TSMC but are made in South Korea, so probably no change there. Apple's A16 chip is particularly expensive and maybe costs $100 to make. So based on that TSMC quote, that's an extra $50, but they sell the phone at more than $1000. That article also seems to imply that some of that added cost is insufficient worker availability causing expensive training costs. That may change if there's a steady supply of jobs available. It is possible to make low cost electronics in high wage countries. The Raspberry Pi is made in Wales.

yAs the slide says, “It is same with [0-9]: the set contains already 5 and 9” (I would write “it is the same as”, and think “with” is incorrect English, but maybe that’s some dialect, archaic, or shows my knowledge of English isn’t perfect)

SDKs, the Laravel Way: Part II
After getting a ThinkPad, I went out on a quest to get trackpad kinetic scrolling working and I came to the conclusion that it will always suck on Linux. Some apps feature it (Firefox, certain Gtk apps). But the problem is that libinput does not implement it (for good reasons, AFAIK) which means it's left up to the GUI libraries to implement. Each. And. Every. Time. If you have a Qt app running next to a Gtk app, good luck. And this is, yet again, why Apple wins in UX. Their kinetic scrolling is implemented across the entire desktop. As it should be. You can't get a consistent feel when you let individual apps implement it with wildly different parameters.

> And battery life ... Holy hell, Mac is so great and Windows is shitting the bed with their smart suspend.

On Linux you can get close to what Mac does. I believe what the Macbook does is it has a hybrid hibernate/suspend. Suspend, for me, only lasts 2-4 hours and then my battery dies. I think there is another suspend setting that improves this, but there is actually a hybrid suspend that will hibernate after X hours of suspend. My laptop can be closed for a week or more and still have battery.
> The problem with generalizations about “evangelical christians”, which often means unaffiliated baptists, is that you can’t generalize them… there’s no meaningful governance.

Indeed. I grew up in a church that called itself "Evangelical Lutheran". Most of the stories I read about "evangelicals" online are completely alien to me. Like evangelicals supposedly taking the Book of Revelations seriously.. my pastor described it as ancient science fiction, allegorical at best but mostly incoherent nonsense. Any "mark of the beast" talk was considered raving lunacy in my evangelical church. That position on Revelations doesn't square with what the internet says evangelicals believe.

I've also never heard the word 'Gilead' before this thread. I'm not sure what it means.

I'm willing to bet that every ISP in America has IPV6 capabilities but the ones that have not activated it have done so out of corporate lethargy.

The bosses aren't yelling, "TURN ON IPV6 AND MAKE IT WORK" so the peons have no reason to flip the switches. The bosses have no reason to push for IPV6 as it will increase support costs and add work hours but it will not increase income or improve profits.

We need a mandate from the FCC that says that any ISP that has accepted federal funds to build or deploy internet access systems must turn on IPV6 to the consumer or face penalties. Short of that, it's not going to happen.
Given that the fight is between megacorps, megastates and ~mega~individuals, it feels like a slightly uneven fight.

Based on the article, it appears that Ghosn wants to pay them additional money (3 million dollars at least) as compensation for their troubles over the last 2 years. Seems like they will be well compensated, totaling over 4 million dollars in payments, not to mention any TV appearance fees or book and movie deals.
> Companies will then, of course, be forced to make a decision based on the market size of your country.

And as we've seen time and time again, China can get away with a lot of bullshit with demands anywhere from tech to culture (e.g. MCU films that ended up censored). At least now, Apple has woken up and begun moving off production to Vietnam, and Marvel has decided to ignore Chinese demands after all.
We got much more out of it than China at first; basically thanks to a modern version of slave labor. We were just short sighted to think that would work forever and for some reason that doesn't really seem to be changing as we just dig in deeper into our old ideas.
They'd have to pinpoint ration electricity to households to keep people from using wall outlets to charge their cars. Any oppressive government could also just shut down gas stations or set up roadblocks.

Ex boyfriend disappearing with a child is totally worth an Amber Alert, and a couple hundred miles is only a couple hours drive by the time they put the alert out...its easy enough to just keep an eye out for a license plate.

Nobody is going to know for sure if its a false alarm, or if we'll wind up with a murdered child until after the fact, so why wait or ignore it?

Substack is not "powered by Ghost". Rather, we built our own theming API that’s compatible with themes built for Ghost, including those built by third parties.

The Free Press is using a modified Tripoli theme, built by Ahmad Ajmi, under a paid license. This is how this is supposed to work. It's good for the theme developer if we support this – you should check them out here.

Recycling as well. Most stuff like plastic can’t be easily recycled so they just ship it to China. It’s just cheaper to ship it offshore to be someone else’s problem.

Leaving the evil carrier issue aside, how much security is there? I know GSM security is not very good, as older protocols are kept around for decades.

The reasoning of the Biden administration is:

The Biden administration has said the measures are aimed at preventing Beijing’s military from obtaining advanced semiconductors.

-

From what I understand is that the military uses older chips which China happens to manufacture. So the clear aim is to probably cripple consumer electronics and mobile phone manufacturers like Huawei, which it seems they already have in many markets.

Wonder if this will backfire and accelerate the Chinese push into more advanced chips by a couple of years.

Your location data. Tower associations can still happen with data "off", since there's plenty of "listen" components. All your home wifi connections are well Geo-located, thanks to other Android users picking up the ESSID as they walk / ride / drive past your house. Your shopping / outings? Forget it, fully known.

VPNs hide the content of connections, at least from MITM / eavesdroppers, but server-side data scrapes are quite effective at figuring out who you are (or what your phone is ... see below). Nothing really does a good job of hiding the fact that you are connected to a VPN except TOR, and where that connection originates (e.g., your wifi network, which is well Geo-located, remember?). And de-anonymization of VPN connections to identify downstream connections are possible, IIRC. Details about your phone are well recorded (MAC, SID, etc)

And always remember, your phone can be implicated based on location data, which will implicate you once it's discovered you own the phone. And that's as simple as looking up the SIM purchase / use.

I think I'd want to raise the kid with a sense of continuity, but also travel a lot. maybe even move to another country for a bit before returning back to the place i'd picked to raise them. who knows?
Public schools generally charge much more for non-residents (between 2x and 4x more in my experience) in part because of the reason you describe, not having contributed to the tax base which funded the school.

Students whose parents maintain domicile in another state (or another country) are generally considered by the school to be residents of that place for tuition purposes and thus not able to access the, much cheaper, in-state tuition.

Do you have any statistics on public schools which enroll a majority of international students? With a cursory search, the highest I found was UC Davis with 16% [0].

UC Davis charges, for undergrad, 14k~ for resident and 44k~ for non-resident.

Domestic Non-Californians are eligible for loans and potentially a small number of grants via FAFSA from federal tax pools, as with anywhere else.

Generally, only Californian residents are eligible for state and university need-based funding.

Most non-citizens, such as those who are undocumented, are not eligible for FAFSA.[1]

It seems more likely to me that these students, given how much more they pay, contribute to a reduced tax burden for tax payers on the whole. Not to mention the economic benefits from them buying housing, food, beer, etc. In the area where they live while in school.

One big challenge is that there’s so much political rancor around the “overpaid civil servant” trope.

Even before that was a Kyocera but that was really nothing like an iphone and not that great to use. It was probably first or close to it, but took a couple other iterations to get good.

That Samsung was awesome though. I loved that thing even though I did and still do miss having a real keyboard, so that was actually not an aspect I loved, but it sure was slick and the universe of apps provided any funky functionality I wanted, because the apps could actually integrate with the phone and hardware. For instance out of the box the dialer was not that well integrated with anything else like the address book. But a guy sold an app that did that awesomely. That phone with that app installed pulled things together into the next level usefulness that we all take for granted as obvious now.
