It is locally. Also such bizarre situations don't only exist in the US, the Netherlands come to mind as another weird example where it's both legalized and at the same time isn't. And the shop owners also have banking problems: https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2021/10/abn-raises-charges-for...

Mind you, that's coming from a bank with a history in slave trading only a few generations ago. I find such cases to be almost advertisements for decentralized people-owned banking. Those who control our money control society and almost everything we can or can't do.
China’s problem is that they import something like 80% of their chips (predominantly from Taiwan). The thing is that semi-conductor fabs don’t exactly respond well to war time conditions. So unless China can invade without without any meaningful resistance, it’s likely that it could be a long time before before that capacity is back online, which would cost china (as a large importer) dearly

It's probably really hard to find glassblowers these days. But, people don't want to buy that much handblown glass either.

(and before anybody says "I'd love to drink water out of hand blown glass!", remember opportunity costs: training glassblowers is probably straightforward but the projected value of their work does not support training them to blow glass considering they could train to do something in higher demand, so these potential glassblowers would want a high enough wage that you'd still settle for getting your drinking water glasses from Target)

The Reddit thread on the study you’re referring to aptly summarizes the problems with it: https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2014/10/02/why-asian-a...

One, this seems to rely on GSS data, which is conducted only in English and Spanish. Just 44% of for example foreign born Chinese Americans are proficient in English. So the GSS data is going to heavily skew towards assimilated, affluent Asians.

Two, the survey question is idiomatic English. It refers to a “good hard spanking.” I don’t think any of my immigrant family would say they do that to their kids, even they do use physical discipline. Non-native English speakers are going to be much less likely to understand what “hard” (or even “spanking”) means in this context.

Three, the survey is of Asian Americans, not immigrants. A survey of Latinos showed that the percentage that use corporal punishment drops dramatically in the second generation. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was true for Asian Americans also. But by the second generation, Asians enjoy no advantages in outcomes relative to other native born Americans.

Apart from that, even Asians who don’t use physical punishment use “socio emotive” discipline that people in this thread would deem emotional abuse: https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2014/10/02/why-asian-a...

What’s your standard for “fine?” It’s shocking how hard it is to keep kids from sopping up the worst aspects of American culture. Unfortunately I think there’s a good chance that one of the three will end up childless, unmarried, or divorced. Where I’m from I would have a reasonable expectation that none of those three would happen.
The reason why they can enforce the regulations on USD is because you're either bringing physical cash across the border - which can then be intercepted by the customs - or you're doing a wire transfer to some local bank, which said bank will then duly report to the government.

They can certainly pass equivalent regulations on BTC. Good luck enforcing them, though.
Diffusion systems can’t render a great image given just “a dog” as the prompt. Imagine all the different kinds of dog images the user might be expecting.

A good prompt engineer understands the scope of keywords trained into SD and can translate the artistic vision for a finished image into specific keyword constructions.

Try creating a specific visual idea you have in your mind into a jpeg using Diffusion. You’ll see it’s not easy.

Can the user do that? Sure! Just memorize all the critical artists of the last 400 years and their important works. And learn all the specific terminology that yields great results.

Can a computer do it? Sure! Just fill out dozens of form fields to describe your specific intent.

>“Complete nonsense,” retorts Pierre Ferragu of New Street Research, a financial firm. tsmc has almost simultaneously launched a new fab in Taiwan, with four times the wafer capacity—and more advanced technology—than the two proposed Arizona foundries. Its bet on America is more of a long-term insurance policy than an immediate game-changer. It enables tsmc to start the tough job of recruiting a workforce and amassing suppliers in America, providing a baseline for expansion “if the Chinese are crazy enough to bomb Taiwan”. For the foreseeable future, though, most r&d is likely to remain in Taiwan. So will at least four-fifths of tmsc’s capacity.

It is unfortunate the truth and decent analysts dont get enough press coverage because they dont fit the narrative of current trend.

I really wanted to use HoloLens for remote support. Too bad they never really looked like they would support it for wider use.

What racism did they overcome? What is your evidence of any racism? It seems your definition shifts from moment to moment? Is it any disparities that are measurable, regardless of intent (what you are likely to say when talking about the african american community)? But then other times you want to make racism some invisible thing that has no external effects?

On top of that, you roll out a quote to trivialize a group’s success due to hard work and determination as “social engineering”.

If we had been talking about the Jewish community and you had used that quote, I think many would consider you a bigot, but currently it’s more socially acceptable to attack Indian Americans

It's far-right accelerationism. There are those who think "the west has fallen" and the only thing to do now is hasten the collapse of that society so they can build a new one(where they think they'll be on top, for some reason).

You’re looking at it all wrong, story points are a defensive tool for you the developer. It gives your team a made up unit that no one else understands.

If you told someone on Monday that a ticket takes two days they’ll ask you on Thursday why it’s not done.

Instead story points combined with team velocity give your team a sense of how much work you can commit to.

Of course we all have in our mind that a 5 point story takes a like 3 days.

If some director or product leader comes in and looks at these tickets the won’t see any time estimates on them and thus can’t hold you accountable to them. Sue they can look at your team velocity. But that’s generally a higher level moving average of several sprints.

Of course this is all imprecise and often isn’t implemented well. I’ve seen it work very well for some teams, where it gave us a good sense of our accomplishments and led to more ownership. It often doesn’t work and just adds overhead.

I’ve ditched it for my current team.

Gotta play pedant for a second because it's important here: using the word "reunification" doesn't make any sense when discussing the PRC's imperialist desires to invade and capture Taiwan.

No matter what lense you use, the ruling government of the PRC, that being the CPC, has never ruled any territory controlled by Taiwan. There's nothing to "reunify," there's only further territory that the CPC wishes to capture and wrest control from a sovereign nation.

There's danger also in the CPC weaponizing the word "China," which is why I'm careful to refer to the country as "the PRC," as the propagandists in the CPC are happy to engage in cultural imperialism to justify their military imperialism. "Taiwan is China, the people there are Chinese (華人），the people there speak Chinese (中文 / 華語）, they are of Chinese cultural background, we need to "reunify" these Chinese people."

If there is an imperialist invasion, and the PRC succeeds, then they will turn their eyes on other nearby "Chinese countries " filled with "Chinese people" speaking the "national Chinese language."

These are all propagandic falsehoods so there's no reason we should help them out, and those of us that are in places where it's safe to do so (outside the borders of the PRC) should communicate using the correct terms.
> it is a general principle of civility that we should believe people by default, unless we have good reason not to

That is appropriate in social situations, not in situations with significant consequences. If lives are at stake (or even lots of poeple's money), the burden of proof is on the person making the claim.

For example, that is true in the legal system, in science, and when you give a presentation to your boss. Saying 'you should believe me by default' doesn't go over well in those situations.
I admire the honesty around investing in the unsophisticated.
In my use case the complex, scientific equipment is spread around the world. Low volume though. I planned to offer support remotely rapidly with HoloLens.
Kind of the same path Google attempted with SEO spam, making the easiest path to success actually producing content people spend time on and link to.

Xi is incredibly popular across the PRC, and the textbooks are changing to enforce a new cult of personality. I wouldn't risk speculating on his popularity as a measure of whether or not an imperialist invasion would happen.
In theory, a POSIX layer in Windows will implement the exec() family of system calls.

The Windows (NT) kernel was built to conform to POSIX, although this functionality was removed, then reimplemented and expanded.

'Broad software compatibility was initially achieved with support for several API "personalities", including Windows API, POSIX, and OS/2 APIs – the latter two were phased out starting with Windows XP.'

They are not touching original CI process, they are only modifying their own SSH session.

It’s a different scenario imo. The economic ties between the US and China are much stronger than the European powers prewar, which were all colonial powers with protectionism and merchantilist trade policy.

News coverage of China is asinine, vacillating between the WSJ/Gordon Chang “the communists are about to collapse” nonsense and the “General <x> says the Chinese are aggressively aggressive and catching up” patter. The chip bullshit is all about Intel lobbying for billions to pull its nuts out of the fire.

IMO Chinese policy is methodical and not unlike what the RAND people cooked up in the 1960s. They make investments in Africa and Latin America that benefit China, build up a military power as deterrence, and have a trade relationship with the US and Europe that transformed the nation from a decrepit backwater into a global power in 50 years.

Why would they want a pyrrhic victory (or defeat that would damage the Beijing government) in Taiwan? Taiwan isn’t Hong Kong. Aggressive rhetoric and policy accomplishes political objectives, and the long game is to foment instability in Taiwan and wait it out.

The risk of conflict with China is North Korea and Japan, not Taiwan.
This kind of thing was fairly common historically. For example, Quake 2 mods were DLL / .so files, depending on the platform, and modding was more common than not in multiplayer. Or the just-released Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, which is written in C# and runs on the full-featured .NET Framework on Windows - its mods are managed assemblies, naturally, and they run under full trust.

(And then you go meta and write a mod that compiles and loads source code at runtime: https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/1651)

Well what do the people of Hawaii think?

You realize that in most states if someone broke a ruler smacking you with it, that would constitute an assault charge and self defense would be considered reasonable. The only difference is that adults are allowed to do so while children aren't in your example.

> A self-sustaining long-term advantage.

The empirical evidence is the opposite: developed countries became rich under one kind of culture, and due to social changes in the last half century their social capital is crumbling. On myriad indicators, from loneliness to birth rates to social trust, these countries are on an unsustainable path. Literally: they have been reduced to importing people from countries with “backwards” (but perhaps, if we are honest, more viable) cultures.
Knowing what you want is both the fun and the hard part of most software development. That and understanding the environment you are operating on. Both of these things are not something I feel an AI has a strong advantage with given the fact that you need to provide this information.

Perhaps I can try to say, "Please decide what browser features I should use to maximize profit.", and it will actually do some proper research and contract out studies and all that... but I don't see that happening yet. Even still, the point of validation remains.

I can't help but draw a parallel with automated theorem provers. Sure they resolve "true", but then who validates the validators? It's a never ending cycle.

At the end of the day, you must learn to love and trust your tools and then stand by the joint creations.

> I did also "nothing of substance" until I was almost 30 also.. But it's fine I dont regret it.

Much the same here. I enjoyed the company of friends, read a load of stuff, had many adventures with a motorbike, beer and curry, lived in shared houses and worked in a crappy mundane easy-osy job as a field engineer.

During this time I still maintained a fleeting interest in software development (I still read Byte, EXE, Dr Dobbs etc and fiddled with code). Then one day I tired of the easy going but not well paid lifestyle and wangled my way into a VC backed ISV to establish myself as a developer (though for a while - I took an 18 month break to work as a data centre engineer, which involved the build out a moderately sized site and an internet exchange point).

And here I am on the wrong side of my mid 50's with very few regrets. Not no regrets because there are two or three (one is a relationship I really made a mess of, and succumbing to a very long period of anxiety disorder after my marriage exploded), but now I'm largely just fine.

My favorite archeologic discovery when it comes to ancient central Europe is the Tollense Valley Battle.

Around 3300 years ago in central Europe two groups, estimated 4000 men total, have clashed on and around a 120 meters long stone bridge crossing the river and valley of Tollense. By the time those men engaged, this bridge was some 500 years old already, which means it was build 3800 years ago.

This battle tells us that there were organized forces in central Europe thousands of years ago, and that there was important road going through the region that required construction and maintenance of such structure for this many years. But we currently have no idea who were those people or even what points of interests was this road supposed to connect.

I got a COVID test from UW Hospitals and Clinics in Madison WI. This is a huge academic medical organization with tens of clinics scattered in all parts of the city and millions of square feet of hospital space.

I had to drive about 40 minutes to a drive through location beyond the other side of town. They also billed my insurance over $500.

I would hope that those arguing for it don't have any. It's literally arguing for violence against others if they behave in a way you don't deem appropriate. Do people who argue in favor of it also hit their partner?
