He was talking about his election in 2016, claiming that Foxconn would not invest this great sum of money had Hillary Clinton been elected. As usual, he was looking backwards and spewing nonsense.
You may not like it, but GP has a point: you are probably making better applications than you would if you had access to very fast hardware and massive bandwidth. Because that tends to invite bloat and you are now more or less forced to deal with it yourself rather than to foist it off on the users. So whatever hardware they have they may well find it runs faster than it does on your machine. Rather than the opposite.
They have to make decisions. That's how things are accomplished.

Did you ever see a politician run seriously on "I didn't get anything done?"

Little people select politicians by their feelings about the information the media presents about them. Big people look at the politician will make or cost them money. They do this by acting, and they often want "science" to validate and cover for them as being wise.
Can the person who downvoted this tell me why? I want to learn.
It shouldn’t, but real estate disclosure isn’t the problem there.
TSMC situation is different because of the political situation around Taiwan. They want to get out.
After an incident with a drone peering through their window one evening after dusk, one of my close relatives tracked the drone to a neighbor and let that neighbor know that it better not happen again. Then they contacted the sheriff and game warden and reported the drone trespass and they were told that if it happened again they should shoot it down and turn it over for evidentiary analysis and the sheriff would handle it for them. They own land in a rural area that is surrounded by a large ranch. The local ranch manager has been trying to act like a good neighbor when they meet in person but behind the scenes has been working to make life annoying for them for a long time so that they would sell out and leave.
Wow that’s their plan? To just be another overpriced cellphone kiosk?
Windows Server 2022 now comes with the chromium-based Edge, so you don’t need to use IE for loopback testing of a web server.

Every time I open Edge on a server, I have to click through the same three nag screens.

“Would you like to…” NO

“Enhance your experience…” NO

“Migrate your non-existent…” NO

It’s obvious to me that nobody at Microsoft uses their own garbage.

They use Macs on the laptops and use Linux in Azure for their own services.
At least TSMC is actually building something and recruiting in the US. Foxconn just pinky promised.
>but you need to have a skill that produces value in such short projects.

I assume you're a software developer? There's your skill.

I think you're overthinking this. How is it less agile? You have a project, a price and a timeline. Everything between then and the end is on your schedule.

The only "unintuitive" skill you need to hone is assessing value and pricing based on that. But there is endless analysis and analogies out there to help.
At first I thought this was about a variant of the Romani people, due to having talked just a few days ago with an Italian guy who was half Jewish and half Romani.

We had a talk about the Romani, the discrimination against them, and some other interesting topics.

Have they forgotten, or have they simply reached that certain size whereby they must actively become evil?
I mean, it's not a myth that it sounds like "doesn't go". It was perhaps a myth that it affected sales to a strong degree...though I didn't say anything about sales.
This is an argument to make stock ownership more public, not to make real estate ownership less public.
No, it really isn't. But: degrowth to a Westerner usually translates into : the developing world shouldn't develop, and meanwhile I get to keep mine. That also doesn't work. That's the kind of pulling-up-the-ladder-behind-you thinking that gets you world wars. You can have as many children as you want as a nation, but you'll have to do that in more efficient (energy, resources) ways than you did in the past if you are a developed country and you probably can still develop quite a bit if you are a developing country.
I sincerely hope it isn't misused by recruiters. I'm already inundated with messages that omit crucial details like company name, compensation range, and job description. If you can’t give me some basic information, don’t bother messaging me.

Has nothing to do with 'capitalism'. It has to do with what government invest money into and how they drive infrastructure. There is a huge opportunity in EV because governments uniformly push for it and the car and car infrastructure have been the majority of infrastructure investment over the last 70+ years.

And investment is not always short term either but if there is a huge push of money and an exploding industry and you think you can recognize that before others, then its a good opportunity, and its not short term but more mid-term.

If you invested in Tesla around 2016 its not short term where you win a lot of money. The same goes for investment in the battery supply chain.

At the same time the idea that these intensives are not universal, is simple wrong. Human always like short term success. So to blame short term thinking on capitalism is ridiculous. The Soviet Union often preferred short term political wins over long term success as well.
Perhaps, but this must not be falsely equated with a situation where every user must either tolerate ads or pay for content. The non-obvious distinction lies in that it is actually quite feasible for a small subset of dedicated fans to support a creator through services like patreon, allowing at least the primary body of the creator's content to remain freely available without requiring it to be ad-ridden. It may even be beneficial in generating more fans than the creator would have generated if they'd simply paywalled their content.
> When people say "degrowth" they often mean a reduced standard of living.

With what we have already emitted today (and we are still increasing our emissions every year), it is not clear at all that Europe will always have enough food in the next few decades. I don't know about the US, but seeing the fires in the last few years, I guess it's not far.

Growth definitely means reduced standard of living in our lifetime: we are going towards global instability, wars and famines.

Degrowth means reduced standard of living as well: just trying to keep them as high as possible. Everybody wants the same thing: the highest possible standard of living. Degrowth advocates have just accepted that it will get down in the future.

They should've gone full maker-movement in the 2010s. I remember for a job I had building barge controllers, one of the design requirements was to use as many Rat Shack parts as possible, and space them out, so that the technician could do a quick repair if needed. So the PCB looked like a corner with modern components on it, and then 30 square centimeters of, well, rat shack part sitting in sockets :)
IMO, this stands out among other things as a big reason for why Tony Evers was elected. So in a way, this helped WI in the end (by finally getting folks to see how big of an idiot Scott "open for business" Walker is).

Distant memory maybe, but I'd call it the beginning of the end of Republican control over a blue/purple state. Evers has been the only thing holding back a lot of terrible ideas until recently. Fingers crossed for new maps before 2024, but I'll be fine with 2026.
There's great synergy between critics of non-mainstream historians and the voting apparatus of HN which ensures that unpopular perspectives are rendered unreadable.

how do you live 10 meters away from a micro center? next building?
What about how it makes me feel afterward, is it as satiating at real fish? What about its nutrition, specifically %protein, micro-nutrients, and bio-availability?

I'm probably in the minority of meat-eaters, but I care more about these things than taste, texture, or how it cooks. And even then, I care whether it taste good and cooks easy, not whether it tastes and cooks like real meat.

Russia and Opec will take the western fuels and sell them to the developing world at lower cost because western demand has left the market. That will increase demand and usage in those markets.
Micro Center seems to be doing well, doing what Radio Shack and Fry's did in decades past without being trashed in the retail space. So it can be done. They just need the right mix of consumer, enthusiast, and "prosumer" marketing strategy.
Yes, I think that was the biggest investment
It would be really cool if there was a Radio Shack in my area I could go to get electronics components, 3D printer filament, maybe rent time on a laser engraver or vinyl cutter.
> As an application developer, I need to know that my application is working appropriately for my users.

You don't need telemetry for that. We have several decades of data showing that software can be developed, tested, deployed, used, and valued without ever forcibly collecting a single bit of data from users.

Why on earth should a user trust that their data isn't being used to spy on them just because it's being collecting under the guise of being for something else? Once the data is collected, the user has no control over what a company will do with it and the only sane assumption users can make these days is that if a company can make more money by doing something (like selling or abusing the personal data of their users) they will do that thing.

The practice of collecting telemetry is also highly suspicious because it's often done without the user's consent (opt out at best), and without showing the user exactly what data is collected and sent.

The fact is that companies have betrayed the public's trust so many times, and in such egregious ways, that it's unreasonable for developers to expect people to "just trust them" to do the right thing. If you don't want to be accused to spying, maybe just don't behave like spyware. Do testing, solicit voluntary feedback, and eat your own dog food.
I'm pretty sure the score was -2 before myself and another person commented on it. Not that it matters.

My perception at the time of posting the comment was correct. If I could edit the wording now, I would, but I can't. Weird flex.
Anything involving Serbia is subject to serious trolling campaigns. Serbia and its borders have been the cause of multiple wars in the 90s, and they're the only real Russia-aligned nation in the Balkans so Putin is spending a shit ton of money on propaganda campaigns for his friend Aleksander Vucic.

Personal guess, I think that Russia is also strongly responsible for the current bullshit going on in Bosnia where the Serbian minority is riled up beyond belief; I would not be surprised if that is the cause for the next war, and had Ukraine not beaten up the Russians so strongly I bet that the original plan was to violently break apart Bosnia after Kyiv had fallen and the Western nations were too busy to deal with Ukraine to open up yet another front.

Bloodbath and beyond was just insanely overpriced. Kohls is surviving because they have billions of coupons, but they also are encroaching on things like BB&B sold. They were finally killed in my opinion by the wedding registry options at other stores getting better.

There is, sadly, a vast difference in accuracy between a "state-approved high school textbook" and a "peer-reviewed scholarly publication".

A state-approved high-school textbook is subject to myriad business and political agendas that practically, by definition, compromise its truth and accuracy.

A peer-reviewed scholarly publication is supposed to have a chain back to actual sources and facts that anchors it in spite of any agenda or narrative it may propound.

The issue here is that Bulstrode presented a bunch of claims with no evidence or even contradicting evidence in the actual sources she cites. There are also some engineering issues: sugar mill rollers are oriented differently from steel mill rollers because they serve very different purposes.

The comment from here was good: https://www.ageofinvention.xyz/p/age-of-invention-cort-case

> Historians, myself included, often make leaps of intuition from limited evidence. But speculation ought to be explicitly signalled as such, rather than presented as certainty. Especially when that certainty creates a narrative so compelling that it makes major newspaper headlines. Bulstrode’s narrative requires multiple smoking guns to work, none of which are in the evidence she presents.
Tax subsidies like you describe here don’t just hurt the state being taken advantage of, it hurts the entire country because no one is getting that tax revenue.

Instead of a business paying their share, all that money is instead transferred to the already-rich owners and investors (and yes, the corrupt officials in the local state).

It’s a prisoners-dilemma style arrangement for the benefit of the already rich and powerful.
If it’s not Louisiana, they’ll find some other suckers to bribe.
I like your example because its a specific, physical place. Probably part of a syllabus for your class. And hard to argue that, in this context, a profound and educational experience.

Now contrast that with online 'educational' content. That's way to vague. One could argue that really just about _anything_ is educational. But that same thing in the eyes of another person is pornography, extreme violence, or a hate crime.

Take executions. There's footage of illegal executions in Word War 2, and recently with ISIS. Are both of those educational? Maybe with the right context and in a curriculum, sure. But gosh, sure seems it should at least be age restricted on Youtube.

I think we have two choices to fix this: First, if the regulators want an educational carve out they need to get incredibly clear what is and is not educational.

Or, barring that, then lets create an "educational" platform that can host this sort of content. You know, like OnlyFans, but for "educational" topics.

I guess you know it, but just in case: "degrowth" is the opposite of "growth". "Growth" is the thing that is killing the planet.

"Green growth" is a utopia from people who haven't understood the problem yet.
I doubt it is so naively simple as "querying a database". For example, before the publication of this article, the majority of the "databases" were simply saying "the inventor is Cort", which is one example of thing that the A.I. will get trivially "wrong" when reviewing the paper.

And if it is true, then this A.I. review method can also be applied to mathematics, theoretical physics, computer science, ...

And even if it is doable, you will still have things that will pass the review process when ideally it should not. It is just an hard limitation, same as the one in "justice" (impossible to not sometimes judge a guilty person "innocent" or an innocent person "guilty", anyone who thinks otherwise just don't understand how complicated it is)
A lot of admins used to block *.microsoft.com to stop this kind of thing in controlled networks.

I have quit worrying about it. We have a solution: nuclear power base load + wind/solar secondary. I will vote for candidates who promote that, otherwise there is nothing I can do, I've reduced my foot print quite a bit over the years and will stick to that. Otherwise I guess we're doomed.

The production of solar panels requires lots of energy which currently uses fossil fuels. But the whole point of making solar panels is to decarbonize energy. We will need to use fossil fuels for a while longer to make the transition.

You didn't mention why this transition isn't possible. There is also not enough green energy currently to stop using fossil fuels. It is either transition or death.

You mention things that have a small effect. They would be good to get rid but they won't get us there. To use much less energy, we would need to give up cars, trains, AC, and heat. You probably say we should bicycles, and we should, but guess what gets used to make bicycles. We might have to give up food since industrial agriculture is required to feed everyone.

> I don't see this as a winning strategy.

I wonder if most of their storefronts are leased or outright carried on their books (shades of McDonald’s strategy). If they own the dirt most of their storefronts sit upon (they have someone in corporate who manages real estate, but I can’t tell if that is just overseeing corporate property like distribution centers and offices or they pulled a McDonald’s), in some circles the real estate play is the asset and anything else is cash flow to keep the lights on.
The real story is that Scott Walker offered FoxConn a nonsensical deal for a political victory for himself (Trump jumping onto it was a sideshow and irrelevant…the primary work was done by Scott Walker).

The deal essentially gave Foxconn free money without requiring it do anything and Foxconn figured why not take the money and then see if we can also do something.

They found out they couldn’t. They tried to pivot to a more software/IT focused investment but the properties they had picked were not ideal for that being far away from where IT people lived. And they eventually gave up.
I would say the value is definitely there, when you consider the top links on Hooli, I mean Google, are frequently malicious. Though the biggest thing to me for Kagi is the ability to uprank and downrank various domains, so I can ensure the results I am actually looking for tend to be on the top, and sites which don't cater content I need personally filter downwards.
There are a couple of operators who seemingly have a decent amount of money but are atrocious at running businesses. Radioshack's previous owner Retail Ecommerce Ventures has the reverse Midas touch. It shouldn't be surprising that trying to transform into a crypto hub fell flat as they were two years too late to the game and all of the smart money has left that market entirely.

I don't see much value in the brand anymore. The only pivot I could see is switching to an online only store, but even then you're competing against the entire internet for selling commodity parts. This does not seem like the most profitable use of money for investors. It's ok to let it die.
Are you aware that Mercedes has L3 (in limited circumstances) rolled out already?
They're not required here, as I noted - not sure what your question is about? Just asking generally?

I don't think 'cloth masks' should be used at all; I think people should probably be required to wear respirators in certain healthcare circumstances - particularly at GPs - as long as there are virulent airborne illnesses around.

And there are all the time, to the point where respiratory disease is a top five killer.

I think if we review indoor air quality guidelines & get better at indoor air filtration we can probably relax that requirement. But sitting in a closed indoor space with a bunch of sick people not wearing even the most basic protective equipment is not my idea of a good time. (FWIW my GP requires people who have cold/flu symptoms sit outside in a separate area and then they have to come in via a back entrance. So there's some segregation of symptomatic people, but not a huge amount.)

Well the US is never a good example for that, because the US notoriously completely screwed up their city planning w.r.t. cars.
