It’s a weird duality with import taxes acting as a middle ground. It seems the belief that a conflict with China is inevitable is becoming more pervasive. So much of the US economy relies on reselling Chinese goods that to stop trading completely would be calamitous. I think the idea is to keep trading right up until the war starts. I’ve already stocked up on goods and materials that are only available from China as I include myself as one of those who believe a great power conflict is coming.
I think you should because it saves you from transitioning to HM later.

I was responding to the "out for over a decade" part; how long they've been available doesn't mean much if they haven't been very common for consumer electronics for that long. Up until this year I've had only 1 such cable, my phone charger, that could get mixed up in any way... and that one couldn't be mixed up because I didn't have a second unused cable to mix it up with.

I don't know if this is the best way, but what I've done in this situation is to answer along the lines of "we're a small, highly-focused company of under 50 employees. Do you have any specific concerns I can address?" (I choose "under 50" because that's often the smallest bracket in forms wanting this data).

The idea being that this question is often asked instead of what the customer really wants to know: "can you do the job properly in the required time frame?" I want to cut to the real question as soon as possible and not waste time and effort on the superficial one.
The media refers to it as a TikTok ban and its apparent that TikTok is the inspiration, but the RESTRICT act never mentions TikTok specifically. Instead, the act:

> proposes that the Secretary of Commerce be given the power to review business transactions involving certain information and communications technologies products or services when they are connected to a "foreign adversary" of the United States, and pose an "undue and unacceptable risk" to the national security of the United States or its citizens.

A court could still find it unconstitutional depending on how its targeted and the statements of its sponsors, but textually it is a ban based on broad criteria.

OK I see now.
Of course - pricing is a maximization game.

But thats why modelling businesses has such a large opportunity. Some businesses will be prepared to pay more if you send them more conversions... Others have a fixed budget. Some use many platforms, and certain things might persuade them to move more budget to you. Some might be persuaded by "tricks" like handing out airmiles, vouchers or free stuff to the marketing team in return for ad spend.

All of those things require a higher level strategy than just doing everything per-impression.
What purpose, though? Because if the purpose is "you're not allowed to spy", you can't ban software until you prove they're spying. And the US already has multiple laws that cover that problem, with courts being entirely allowed to rule that a product must be taken off the US market, be that a physical product or software.

This is congress trying to ban a named product by bypassing the courts, in order not to have to bother with the whole "burden of proof" thing, rather than the justice department bringing a case to the courts to get existing laws enforced.

And yes, technically it's "congress makes the laws, the courts enforce those laws", but congress is bound by the constitution, and if congress singles out a specific individual or company, that's (amazingly, because it almost never is) an actual first amendment violation.

Whereas taking a company to court in order to get it banned for "spying on behalf of a foreign nation" is not.

Disabling Encrypted ClientHello in Google Chrome, and Why
Google Chrome v117 turned on TLS Encrypted ClientHello by default (on 27 Sep?) This will impact the effectiveness and accuracy of outbound traffic filtering* - for those who've implemented it (regardless of vendor.) We've written a short blog post on disabling it with PowerShell, Windows Registry and Google Chrome UI for those who may need to roll this out ASAP and regain visibility. (Disclosure: we are a vendor of an outbound filtering solution and this has impacted our customers already.)

*for many websites, the domain name visibility during an HTTPS handshake will no longer be available to firewalls/proxies (unless they were terminating.)
We did some molding and extrusion at a startup I worked at. A couple of things from our experience:

- Need to be incredibly explicit. Call out tolerances, how you need it to be created, expectations, everything you can think of. They'll do the work to what you specify, but if you don't specify something, there will be issues there.

- They are as precise as you ask them to be.

- Be careful of prototypes to full orders. We got a lot of parts where the prototypes were perfect, but the when they mass produced them, the method was different, causing an issue with the part.

- You need to be the knowledgeable party of your design. From our interactions, they are implementing your design, not necessarily helping you make it work. If you don't have a lot of plastics knowledge, there will be a lot of issues and retooling to get it to work, so I would go with a manufacturer that is more collaborative.

They disclose its second place + 0.01, but the article says they lied and raised it by 15%.

“Google’s advertising auctions require the winner to pay only a penny more than the runner-up. In 2016, the company discovered that the runner-up had often bid only 80% of the winner’s offer. To help eliminate that 20% between the runner-up and what the winner was willing to pay, Google gave the second-place bidder a built-in handicap to make their offer more competitive, Whinston said, citing internal emails and sealed testimony by Google finance executive Jerry Dischler earlier in the case.”

Trick question, no one actually infringed anything! You're welcome to draw the bat symbol all day if you want. You can even download the official emblem, scribble out the TM symbol and (c) Warner Brothers text, put your own name and chuckle to yourself.

The infringement only happens when you then try to claim it's your own work publicly. Which has the convenient benefit that a human normally has to be an accomplice to that.
Health care in CH is still public, even if most actors are private companies. The baseline cost are shared socially. That's why the premiums increase every year.
I find NUCs kind of just work for home servers, consume a very reasonable amount of power (10W idle, 90W at full load, ~15-20W average in my case), aesthetically very neutral, and run standard Ubuntu distros with zero hardware driver issues. Everything works out of the box with a vanilla install.

They're also available dirt cheap second-hand if you're okay with a generation or two older processor, and you can use an m.2 SSD inside the case without a dangling hard drive like I see with TFA's Zimaboard setups.

100%. Not only this, but it forces you to document things for other people (one of which is future you), and it forces you to have a plan for if you get hit by a bus. People do actually get hit by busses sometimes, and if you actually care about your customers you should have a plan for that.

Mathematically, all fair auctions provide the same optimal price to the seller. It's called the Revenue Equivalence Theorem.

Google's auction is not fair in the sense that Google is both the seller and the auctioneer. Squashing enters the situation when the second price bidder has an ad that is more likely to be clicked than the first price bidder and therefore has additional revenue potential (known only to Google) beyond the revenue offered by the bid. Google then assigns this additional expected revenue to the value of the second price bid and declares this to be the market value of the bid. I see where their argument comes from, but it's a pretty lousy one.

> Sometimes you just gotta fudge the numbers a bit and do what needs to be done to get your company off the ground.

I disagree. I've never had to lie to get a company off the ground, and if that was a requirement, I'd rather let the company die and try again with something else.

Being vague, however, is OK.
With jitting runtimes like V8 often the root cause of the exploit is a logical error in code generation that leads to the sandboxed code to get a read/write gadget into memory outside the sandbox. Rewriting the jit in Rust might help eliminate those kinds of issues, but it's still entirely possible they would happen.

If you can call a function, you can call a method.

Your complaint is basically "you cannot write C++ in Python". Duh.

I dislike that every single one of our displays utilizes an encrypted connection. And it doesn't protect me, I don't have the keys.

It's not predicated on that. It's predicated on risk. I've been a buyer of software and the last thing I want to worry about is a guy gets hit by a bus (figuratively) and then I am stuck.
That's pretty funny. TikTok is literally banned in China, along with Facebook, YouTube and all Google, Wikipedia, Twitter, and even Github. There is an actual firewall blocking access, the use of a non-government controlled VPN is a crime. Your iCloud must be stored in China. If you see a post on any social media outlet other than Weibo/WeChat/DouYen/TenCent (which are heavily censored), they are under gov control. This is true even in HK.

See the disappearance of Naomi Wu or Peng Shuai.
AVX-512, which Intel had since 2016 and AMD caught up with supposedly in 2022, is probably what I was thinking of. So, long ago but also not long ago ;)

Yes it was Intel's own spec, so of course they're gonna implement it first, but that's exactly what I mean. This is a recurring dance, and I'll pay a little more for the one that sets the standard. If this weren't a thing, they'd both just be commodity.
According to the OP, there is written evidence for it, from the Victorian era, which was 400 years after cannons made castles obsolete. It's hard to fault modern historians too much if they're simply trusting the old records to be accurate. Or as we say in computer science: garbage in, garbage out.

Yes, it would take not just a real historian, but someone who had done research, to answer this question. Having been up and down a few of those, it certainly seems more than just plausible to me, even taking into account the numerous recorded sieges. On the other hand it is also true that spears and shields play a much greater role than swords. Hard to imagine wielding a full-sized shield, let alone a spear, in one of those staircases, though!

Comparing Reddit to Twitter is bad. But saying TikTok is a vine Clone like Reddit is a Digg clone is a pretty good analogy though.
Author of jumprope here. Great post! It’s cool seeing so many other good rope libraries ready to use.

It’s interesting seeing how poorly jumprope does on memory efficiency. I could definitely change the code to more aggressively join small text nodes together to bring the memory overhead more in line with the other algorithms. I’m just not sure how much anyone cares. Text is really small - a raspberry pi or phone has gigabytes of memory these days. If a 1mb text document takes up 5mb of ram - well, does that matter? I suppose if you’re opening a 1gb log file I do appreciate that some of the other approaches tested here have no overhead until you start making edits.

From a performance standpoint there’s one more trick jumprope has not mentioned here, though it could easily be applied to the other algorithms. And that is, in regular text editing sessions (and in replaying CRDT editing traces) we can buffer the most recent editing run before committing it to the data structure. So, if you start typing some contiguous characters, they get stored separately and only when you move the cursor or start deleting do we flush that change down. This improves performance of replaying editing traces by nearly 10x. But I’m not sure how applicable it is to the “regular” case of text editing. It is, however, super useful for replaying edits in a collaborative editor. It’s fast enough that my crdt doesn’t even bother storing the most recent document on disk - we just replay the entire editing history when a document is opened. Even for large documents, files can usually still be opened in about 1ms (including replaying the entire editing trace). This case doesn’t show up in all benchmarks because you have to opt in to it using the JumpropeBuf wrapper instead of Jumprope.
100% don't believe it. And you missed the overall conclusion from your own link:

> While our analysis finds fast wage growth at the 10th percentile and wage compression within the bottom 90% of the wage distribution, highly unequal wage growth has led the very top to amass a greater share of the overall earnings distribution, contributing to worsening inequality.
True on all points.
I think GP makes a reasonable point about what commercial actually means. If you are selling something, that's commerce. If the Ardour dev or OpenBSD devs don't like it, then they are free to adopt a euphemism that makes them feel better about it, but that appeal to authority doesn't change the meaning of the term. I think that actually further reinforces GP's point about how the term "commercial software" has become a dirty word.

Now that said, I do support avoiding language that is offensive to people even if it doesn't seem to me like it should be (so long as it's still clear what is being communicated. I don't like Orwellian expressions).
Vine was pretty limited and never really evolved much beyond its earliest implementation. TikTok has powerful editing, remixing, and a very good recommendation engine that Vine never had.
I have Copilot. It's okay I suppose, but nothing game-changing at least for my purposes. It's great at DRY stuff within the codebases in which I work.

I achieved similar results using Llama 2 running on my Mac Mini M2 Pro, which I did basically as a PoC, but again, nothing game changing for me. That's not to say that it might well be the killer app for many others out there. I'll give it another whirl I suppose.

We have plenty of computation. A decent laptop today is a supercomputer. Terabytes of storage can be had for under $200.

Locked hardware isn’t much of an issue either. Most of that either can be unlocked or there are equivalently powerful unlocked alternatives to be had.

What people must seize is the network, and the network effect. Most of today’s tech empires are built on owning the hub around which everyone communicates. The fact that they own a lot of hardware is just about irrelevant to their market power or dominance.

The only area where compute power determines relevance at all today is AI base model training and large scale AI deployment and that is likely not going to last that long. In the next few years the market for accelerators for AI is going to heat up a lot and prices will come down. There is no way the nVidia monopoly will last more than another two years tops.
Is this the reason Windows Task Manager seems to show Vmmem (WSL2) as gobbling up well more RAM then WSL seems to indicate is in use?

This was used during my childhood by the Reagan (and subsequent) administration as justification for cracking down on the drug war and leading us closer to a police state, skirting constitutional rights, etc. Of course the children they were supposedly protecting got arrested for smoking pot and underage drinking and whatnot, damaging their lives and future outlook, sometimes significantly.
> we have a nebulous understanding what the equilibrium price would be on a free market.

I can’t imagine a free market existing in the US without PS5-style-resellers immediately buying out the entire supply and jacking up the price for drugs people need to live. Not like that’s significantly different than what we have now, it’d just be a worse version.

Theoretical warp physics -- the real kind, like Alcubierre, not the Wesley Crusher kind -- proposes that a source of negative mass would be critical to the creation of a warp field.

Antimatter as part of an energy storage system for propulsion is still a good idea. They'll just have to look elsewhere for that property, or modify the theory to work on different principles. Eric Lentz is working in that direction and doesn't think negative mass/energy is needed.

Back in the days I recall there was some plug-in to query Pivot tables in postgres, but it was such a pain to use that a two step approach (query the column names, and then generate a second query based on these column names) with Python/SQLAlchemy glue code was easier and possibly even more performant. I hope the situation has improved, as indeed pivot tables are so useful

This was considered at the highest levels in Israel in 2014. Netanyahu spoke explicitly about the goal of partial demilitarization. “We agreed to the Egyptian proposal in order to give an opportunity for the demilitarization of the [Gaza] Strip — from missiles, from rockets and from tunnels — through diplomatic means,” he said in a statement.

What happened? Why does Israel always go it alone? All the collateral damage and civilian deaths build up until they squander any sympathy support they have.

This is Israel’s 9/11. After 9/11 the US had a lot of international sympathy and even invoked Article 5 of NATO and formed a coalition before invading Afghanistan to get Bin Laden. (They ended up squandering all the good will they had, occupying afghanistan for 20 years, invading Iraq and causing 1 million excess deaths… but for a while there the coalition-building effort paid off.)

Why not speak at the UN and build a coalition to engage Hamas together? Urban warfare is not easy and civilian casualties have a way of shifting public opinion. Take a look at how Azov went from being branded terrorists to national heroes after Mariupol.

By sharing responsibility as a coalition, it would be harder for Syria, Hezbollah, Iran and others to justify attacking Israel. Israel’s government could avoid escalation and safeguard Israeli civilians. Why do they somehow always go it alone, and get all the blame alone?
