> it frustrates me that your job gets to bully you into giving up your mobile devices for them to use.

Hard agree, but it seems that in most places it's perfectly legal. Similar to telling W-2 car mechanics or property maintenance technicians that they must bring their own tools.
yep, I've gotten loads of phishing SMSs regarding missed deliveries using duckdns.
I don’t think this is the only reason. Government gains much more control when they can count on bad incentives to avoid people from being able to go through the due process.

I have no problem with people that do not feel welcome and leave. I have a problem with those whose plan was to get US education and go back home. I believe much of the people that are going back for whatever reason never planned to stay. The article as well makes no attempt to prove that isn't the case. That's why I said it reads like propaganda, that and the "perceived espionage" phrase usage.
On one hand Apple is telling the world how they are standing up to Russia in large PR piece filled and feed into the mass media echo chamber. Claiming themselves as defender of Fundamental Human Right, and their righteousness that put even Google's "Do No Evil" to shame.

On the other hand they are, as a business complying with Russia Rule of Law and take down certain podcast. ( Not as big of a deal but I could have insert a few thousand words essay on China here )

There is no "legal definition".

Credit where credit is due, I'm impressed by your mental gymnastics. There is a legal definition (no scare quotes needed) of marriage, and that legal definition is precisely what Eich was trying to change.

The hazards have to be knowable (they all are) and you have to take the precautions.

The trick is, that professionals often need to know how to do something just barely safely so that they can do it fast and efficiently.

But a hobbyist doesn't need to do it fast, so you can do it very safely.

In this example, learn how to ground out the equipment, do so, and then leave it for weeks, etc.
I mean, it’s definitely possible that an opiate could be produced that’s very low potency and delivered in the form of a drink if it was legal and there was consumer demand for such a thing. But it’s not and there isn’t.

The closest thing I’ve seen to “grabbing a beer” in the form of other recreational drugs is having a pull or two on a weed vape. I’ve had friends who are not in recovery/never had a substance abuse issue who do that. It’s probably better for you in the long run.
Precisely this. Most of my coworkers seem to use a prompt that just reports what branch you are on. I use a power line-based prompt that captures a lot more info, and so I virtually never end up in a situation where I forgot to include files or forgot to push my commit since it’s super obvious.
Compensation is not about need, it's about supply and demand. If I as a Google shareholder could pay 225 million to receive billions in profit and thereby drive up the stock price and my stock value, then I'll take that deal, and that's how every other shareholder thinks, too. Because if not, then they could simply vote to not pay for the CEO's compensation.

Did you have a very bad experience with US immigration? I've been dealing with it for a couple of decades, from non immigrant visas to GC and while its definitely a pain in the ass, it hasn't been anything like that^.

> Of course, you can always use Bitcoin / Ethereum and the Ethereum Name Service which is true, legitimate digital ownership.

Why is this legitimate digital ownership vs other forms? Bitcoin and ETH are stolen all the time, and it’s not recoverable, even if you can prove it rightfully belonged to you.

People are wary of crypto because it’s controlled by a cabal of extraordinarily entrenched early adopters, many of whom established themselves on speculation, grift, and fraud. It’s no better than the centralized banking it purports to supplant, and worse in most measurable regards.

Why? If I (an American) studied in the UK, did I somehow betray the British by returning to the U.S. after? I paid tuition, I contributed to the economy while there, I helped bridge cultural gaps.
He was not deported. He was stripped of his clearance during the ”Red scare” era, then decided to return to China of his own volition, but was held under house arrest for 5 years until 1955. At that time, a prisoner exchange with captured American pilots allowed him to return to China.

It should be noted that Qian came to the United States in 1935, when Japan was in the midst of a full-on invasion of mainland China. He received masters and PhD degrees from top U.S. universities, and held prestigious positions at CalTech and in the U.S. Department of War.

I have read that he was subjected to racial discrimination such as not being able to buy a house in certain neighborhoods.

But, overall, he escaped the Japanese invasion and enjoyed great freedom and success in the United States. He then showed his gratitude and loyalty by going back to China and sharing his knowledge and expertise to build up an enemy of the United States, soon after the Korean War.

I would say, Prof. Qian was an example of exactly what the U.S. government fears.

Split rims is a good example of the kind of risks - they can be handled correctly but the temptation to skip steps is always there - but much more strongly there for people who do it a lot. If you replace them once, you can be anal about the safety (cage + chain + remote fill) because you don't need the speed.

I'd still replace the worst split rims with at least deuce rims.

I would agree. Immigration experience depends on your situation. Marriage to a citizen has been simple. Same with parents to a citizen.
Although discrete models may not exist, discreetness is expected because without there's likely unsolvable informational problems.

This is why Beckenstein was so brilliant, he was among the first to understand physical systems must fit into information theory. If they don't, physics has far worse and profound issues.

Any description of the universe is informational. We should hope that the universe is informational so that humanity can have a complete description of the cosmos. If the universe is not informational, since description by nature is informational, there would be no way to describe the universe completely.

I know a guy whose wife was once a bank teller, near a major (public) US research university. By his telling, arriving Chinese (mainland) college students typically opened their bank accounts with mid-6-figure deposits.

Perhaps you should talk to someone in the tourism or hospitality industry, about your great new idea of turning away pay-top-dollar customers en mass?

(And maybe also talk to an average research staffer doing NSF-funded research, about just how wretched the pay, hours, and job security are. Sunk Cost fallacies and social status aside, many of those folks would really be better off mowing lawns and flipping burgers.)

It depends. O0 turns off a few trimming optimizations and could potentially causes more information (code or DWARF) to be included in the objects, which may eventually slow down the compilation. In our large code base, we found that -O1 works best in terms of compilation speed.

developing for esp32 is way more difficult than developing for raspi. raspi lets you basically treat it like a normal computer, you can use standard python and sqlite and install whatever nonsense you want from pip and basically assume it will run whatever your laptop can. it means you can hire kids straight out of school, or outsource to india, and whoever you get can work on it without really any concern - it'll run whatever crap you give it.

esp32 is embedded enough that you have to develop for it like you develop embedded software - you need to do things like think about how much ram you're using that you just don't have to on raspi.
This is surprising to hear, is there any hard data on this? My naive assumption would be that US benefits from brain drain in vast majority of situations.
Odd to frame it that we're losing badly because /some/ Chinese scientists are going back to China but tons of them are still staying here, and the reverse is simply not happening at any scale.

“Resource” is an artifact of our services companies (outsourcing) and their project management training.

Conversely, have we considered that motherhood is a joy and a privilege for women, that it is the most sublime fulfillment of their biological design and destiny, to bear and feed their young, to bond with them, to hold and touch them, to care for them, no matter what?

Have we considered, that despite the "pangs of childbirth" that are a very real part of the experience, that conception, pregnancy, and childbirth are natural processes, not diseases or disorders to be eliminated, and that mankind has been well-equipped to accompany women and support them every step of the way, no matter what obstacles they face, that they retain their dignity and continue to fulfill their vocation of motherhood?
There's a weird reason for this- digital copies get access from hour one of the release, while physical copies had to ship. So you had this weird situation where the biggest fans of the franchise didn't get to play the game until a day or three after their friends.
> I hope we can relieve women of the pressure of motherhood this way.

You should ask the mothers you know how they feel about that? The majority (i'd say the vast majority), consider motherhood the most important and best thing in their lives.

Plus, the only alternative is men? Who by definition cannot be "mothers". So you're describing being raise only by fathers. So.. now the suggestion is just adding pressure of fatherhood? lol

> Maybe we can even develop more equitable societies where any gender can raise any children, or all genders will be expected to raise all children.

All genders, in all cultures, do raise all children. That said, each likely plays a different role. Just imagine some hunter gatherer culture - men provide meat, teach their sons to hunt & fish too, teach their daughters to pick honorable men for husbands, maybe even find honorable men. Women, teach their children to clean animals, make clothes, make food & fires, etc. This tradition has largely stayed the same.

In the first world, Women have changed their roles, as automation replaced the need for many of the tasks. Men have continued to provide a similar role. In both cases, I argue parents are increasingly teaching their children less directly; outsourcing it to "educators". That said, I think it's had detrimental effects on families and you can see that in the depression rates, competency rates, divorce rates, etc.
Makes great sci-fi, well it could, your pitches are alright but we can already do most of these with good ol' fashion forced conception and if you can't get your followers to screw for the cause then you're probably not much of a threat.

True.

> I'm tired of capitalism.

I'm tired of Free Market capitalism.

The problem is companies have become too large and command too much political influence. We need proactive laws that break up companies if they grow beyond a certain size criteria. Ideally, the criteria would be aggressive enough to kill the corporation leaving behind mostly small businesses with a low barrier of entry for new competitors.

Increased competition would mean lower prices, more product variety, more opportunities for employees to find quality employers or become small business owners themselves, and the elimination of Big Corp's big money political influence.

Companies are their "best" when small and nimble so why not force them to remain that way? If this came to pass there might be less need for socialism.
There was just a few days ago an AMA by a US immigration lawyer filed to the brim with stories of rich tech workers in all sorts of ridiculous scenarios at the hands of absurd US immigration policy and personnel.
The original title is "Directed differentiation of human iPSCs to functional ovarian granulosa-like cells via transcription factor overexpression".

Also, although I'm not sure that I understand this completely, it seems to me that this isn't quite a new development. For example, here's a 2016 paper claiming to do something very similar [1] (with the additional step of transplanting the human cells into mice): https://www.spandidos-publications.com/10.3892/mmr.2016.5191

[1]: From the 2016 paper: "In the present study, human iPSCs were induced to differentiate into ovarian granulosa-like cells (OGLCs) in vitro. Subsequently, these cells were transplanted into POF mice."

Primary source from 1955: "Scientist to be deported from USA" : "A JPL scientist will leave the US for Red China Friday under a deportation order, the US INS said yesterday."

I'm not familiar enough to expand on your other comments. I personally tried to avoid saying anything inaccurate, and I think historical sources back up my statements.
No feelings on this either way. In fact it may be better for US to reduce the dependence on people from one nation. I have met a lot of very smart and hard working people from China who definitely deserve where they are. However on the flip side I have also witnessed crazy levels of favoritism (only hiring other Chinese) within their community both in academic and non-academic settings.

A bit of a first hand experience - my father in law runs a small manufacturing firm in the US. In the past few years they've designed a new hardware item with a Pi at the core.

When the supply issues happened, they were concerned about not being able to manufacture the devices. That's a multi million dollar investment at stake not to mention the employees and customers that would be impacted. Luckily they figure out a supply.

Compared to that, my as a hobbyist having to be patient to get another pi is completely incosequential.

I'm in Silicon Valley and done that been there. I found the "burnt out" feeling was mostly lack of motivation and inspiration. I realize they're in abundance but the big differentiator was someone local, being f2f sounding board. Although I met a few via meetup.com none inspired me enough to continue my meetup as it felt mostly one way. It sure be nice to find someone inspired to do more. If you're in the S.Bay, ping me.

I've moved on to esp32s and Intel nucs. I'm so angry about the stock issues the last two years they may very well have lost me permanently and I'm definitely going to be paying this forward whenever I talk tech to somebody interested in using raspberry pis.

I'm still looking for 3 pi zero 2s and trying to be fiscally responsible and not get scalped or further contributing to this mess but wow it's been way too long and it's maddening.

I'm not a company, but I've spent a ton of money on pis (including professionally). I was a big champion and supporter convincing everyone I knew to use them for their projects. Now I'm just mad and looking for any alternative I can find. I know I'm not the only one. How can this not have negative long term consequences??

I know they are just a business at the end of the day but I was all in for years. Rational or not I feel completely betrayed.

I just had a really good friend of mine disappear from social media, didn't respond to messages, nobody could get him on the phone. I didn't know his new address as he had moved a few months ago. It took me some time, but I finally figured out who his landlord was and managed to get hold of him and he told me he found my friend dead from a heart attack a couple of months ago. And he had just completely turned his life around after several years of really bad times. Only in his 50s too...
