Difficult yes. Enough to stop a highly motivated nation state with massive talent pool and economic resources to dedicate to the task? No.

Especially not the DUV machines.

EUV is a different matter. The design that ASML uses relies on absolutely crazy optics and masks that aren't just stupidly difficult to manufacture but maintain/repair throughput use.

I don't expect China to copy their EUV design, more likely they would develop something homegrown. Largely this comes down to the light source which is actually designed/built in San Diego, not the Netherlands. It's a very complex and finicky beast that I don't think would appeal to Chinese sensibilities. More likely I expect them to come up with a cyclotron design or similar which can more easily reach higher power output (critical for lithography) but requires more centralized infrastructure (not a problem for China, but a problem for private companies).
But they will still push to maximize revenue across all divisions, right?
In Spain when I met a black kid decades ago I didn't seek for it's African legacy or whatever nonsense the American Left states on his persona. He had the exact culture as me, as he grew up there, with the same Northern Spanish accent from the Bay of Biscay and all.

Who cares about what his relatives where thousands of years ago.

You all have arrived. Wishing you decades of prosperity and good fortune.
It turns out people live in a nation and not an economy. Tying someone's kids' healthcare to their employer who could fire them for no cause at any moment sure has a way of making people nervous about the future. I guess it gets results out of them, but it doesn't seem to make them happy.
I don't want to be the "did you even read the article?" guy, but I do recommend you all read the article or get more context about this first before posting what could be considered a economic/political "hot take". It's really a mix of optimism (like some relief from recession fears, for now) and concern (like lower personal savings rates).

Don't extrapolate too much based on a single quarter metric (albeit an important one). That's the HN way.

Makes sense. Every time I go to a new country I read about what to do and not to do there and behave accordingly. I consider going to another country as going to someone's house, hence I'm not going to behave like I do at home.

I think a lot of commenters here have little experience with hyper-converged infrastructure if they don't see this is different. This looks, by far, the simplest way to run workloads outside of the big cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP).

It seems they only support up to virtual machines but this is still miles ahead of VMWare, Nutanix, or CISCO ACI to my eyes. This honestly looks simple enough that a developer/DevOps team could manage it. With the other 'hyperconverged' infrastructure offerings you will still need a dedicated team of trained ops professionals to manage it.
But it's not the case, it sounds good on paper but it has been a long time since the USA was a good place to lift yourself up by your bootstraps, there are so many things that hold you down on the way up that do not exist in other countries (really just the medical situation alone). That said I'm very glad you're happy and it has worked out well for you.

However, my only regret was that I did not leave sooner, it did not work out for well for me on the balance, IE I did make money, but my quality of life was less than middle class people have where I live now.

Edit : loving the battle with the down and upvotes but seriously I'd rather have more back and forth with actual data.

I do think Starship will eventually be a success but it's annoying to see people counting it as if it's already working. That said, SpaceX is burning money like a bonfire on that project, so they better hurry.
So a 'more efficient' workforce that does the same amount of work but for a fraction of the pay won't increase GDP?
I've had this exact same problem last week while going to Mount Roraima https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Roraima

If I had just read this message before. This is an ingenious solution. He created a thetering wifi network with the same name and password of a network the phone would recognize. When there's a connection, it means the phone is near:

"I’ve used my own phone’s tethering feature to create a wifi network with the same name & password as my cousin’s home network - and we started walking around the place. We made sure the other guy helping us with the search had his own wifi off, to avoid false positives, and waited to find a new connection to the hotspot. And it worked! The connection was made when walking nearby the parked truck, but it turns out that the phone wasn’t in the truck - it was lying on one of the ATVs that was parked by its side."

If your culture makes women and LGBT people inferior, to hell with that culture, the same way the Western world tried to do with die-hard Church sickos two centuries ago in the French Revolution. OFC changes to women didn't come overnight, but it was a tiny step on the right direction.

"Facebook" (or whoever) just sends a token that says the user authorized the use of its account for the application. What happens in this 'hack' is that the token is valid, but was not actually intended for that application, but for another one (e.g. a malicious one, that is now trying to reuse the token to access other services of the same Facebook user). I don't know how Facebook tokens look like, but JWTs have a property called aud/audience indicating who the token was intended for. The application developer must verify that the token was actually intended for their application. That is my understanding, sorry if I got it wrong.
Wow. Is there any way Apple can ever be perceived as honest in their decisions?
And by the way, why do we even attach this human categories to an entity that in itself only has the maximization of profits as its incentive?

If anything, this proves that Regulation Works! Big tech Leviathans can be steered if their lobbyists lose, and if governments take informed decisions about how to drive change.

This is a rare exception where the US govt hasn’t abdicated to its role, and this is the natural consequence, with Apple - we can give ‘em that - accepting this as best as it can by fulfilling its shareholder and profit-making duties.
Not surprising that immigrants aware of this fact come to the US and largely do better than the whining, natural-born citizens.
> never forget that they’re just here to make money.

I find this read to be a little too pessimistic. They’re not an investment firm. They’re still making products that they want to sell people, and making them the way they think is best. Do they want profit? Of course. But their product is not money. They’re first and foremost an electronics manufacturer.
I can imagine this backfiring slightly. Currently using an adblocker has the plausible deniability of “Well, without an account, you can just go to YouTube and start watching videos without agreeing to any ToS, no one told me I can’t block ads.” If YouTube have to ask for permission to check your browser, they might as well add the ToS to that prompt. NAL so not sure that would actually change anything legally.
Right, so my app is an electron app, and you can hook into the redirect. It’s still a little bit hacking the flow but not as bad as full browser automation

I agree with the comment above yours but also feel that this is... different style of work? Or attitude? Not sure how to name it but feels like I also brushed up against this numerous times.

I assume that line of "what is scope creep and what is assumed to be in scope even if not written down" has to be blurry but I tend to judge people on which side they end up on, because I feel it correlates to indifference etc.

Ultimately, it feels like a bad approach to work relationships - you actually have to do personal groundwork in your team to unblur the line to where you and your team agrees. And if that doesn't work out - leaving is a valid, if sad, option.
The automation all happens on your side of the control plane. AWS isn’t going to update IAM roles for any customer. The closest you get is that roles can consume managed policies, and those could change but you know that going in.
GCP has much better UI than AWS. GCP is easy and fun to use, while AWS looks like fighting 90s Windows 3.11 app

(No comments on the poor behaviour towrds customers by both and Azure as well)

Edit: And after fully reading the article, I agree with the author. Yes, GCP is very easy to use compared to the monster AWS is. Its Googles poor reputation, esp amongst the HN types, that I suspect is the reason not many people use it

I've addressed these questions in several other comments in the thread. To repeat: no laws/rules of any kind were broken. Nobody was harmed. Nobody who was a user of the site in those days has complained of feeling deceived. It's a funny, playful thing to do with zero harm done. I like funny, playful things.
The only people who care about this are people who like to finger-wag. Knock yourself out if that's what you like to do.
Assuming interchangeable human resources there are basically 2 options, either the company is extracting more value from everyone than the salaries they pay, in that case paying fairly would eat into the company's bottom line. Poor CXOs would not turn extra profits by keeping less fortunate employees on low salaries but just the regular one. Or the highest paid employees are not pulling their weight and their salaries are already subsidized by the rest of the company, which is also not quite fair.

Nevertheless, I agree everyone looks at this problem from their own POV, however it should not be the norm to provide equal compensation for equal work.
Maybe, but US hegemony is sort of important. It keeps our dollar the currency of choice and allows us to print money. A mainly obedient and docile EU makes a perfect platform for power projection. It’s a good deal for the US and makes treasuries even more in demand.

Now, how we spend it is up for debate. But I’d be careful about throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Europeans passed laws to cut it off. Nothing American did. Europeans don't want to fund the guns that will be used by Russians when they decide who to invade next.

Violence in itself is not morally wrong or right, what a bizarre statement.
I think that Japanese attitudes towards work have somewhat shifted, especially as young Japanese eyes look a bit enviously to Western tech companies, with their inflated pay and fun culture. Really, the protracted recession they've had for a few decades has sown the idea that nothing is really guaranteed anymore like it was from postwar to about the 90s.

Nevertheless, given that the five developers in question started work in the 70s or 80s, when the Japanese work ethic of "bust your ass for a company all your life and they'll take care of you" was very much a thing, it doesn't surprise me that they've all stuck with Nintendo, which itself seems in it for the long haul like a traditional Japanese company. The company has been very good about knowledge transfer from older generations to younger, in ways some developers (e.g. Sega) haven't. Mario and Zelda, for instance, are not being spearheaded by Miyamoto anymore. He pops in on conference calls to offer guidance, but the developers who worked under him have now taken the helm of these franchises, driving them in new directions while preserving their essence... and Miyamoto is free to pursue passion projects like movies and theme parks (thus actually becoming "gaming's Walt Disney").
You're right I should've looked more closely, but I was just wondering about what it said towards the end of the article about U2 spy photographs and what's becoming declassified.
There is owner imputed rent and rent. It’s two separate categories. Owner imputed rent is meant to capture the implied rent that home owners pay themselves. The old method used interest costs, which historically didn’t do a good job because if you lock in a 30-year mortgage rate then you have no inflation if rates rise.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

The article just says, "non-Western origin or descent," which is a bit ambiguous. I don't know the details, but the use of the word "descent" is concerning: it's an immutable characteristic passed from parents to children, regardless of whether we call it "race" or "cultural origin."
Appreciate you fighting the good fight here, but this one is actually a valid point. If real GDP growth is at 4.9% while the government deficit is at 5.3% of GDP, (in most cases) GDP isn't actually growing organically.

The US has 3 unsurmountable advantages over everyone.

1. Natural resources

2. The American dream of entrepreneurship and immigrant success.

3. The work-is-sacred American professional-managerial class.

Stable countries decay due to 3 things. First, import pressure can ruin a nation as all its productivity gets extorted out of it by a pseudo-colonial exporter. Natural resources solve this. Second, general lethargy causes productivity to die. But the secularozed protestant work ethic keeps the gears running. Lastly, productive nations can still lose if they miss technological revolution, which can often happen overnight. But the American dream ensures that no one tries to disrupt like Americans, and the most disruptive foreigners are drawn in such that their aha-moment still occurs here.

It's honestly, perfect.

But, don't let that distract you from freeloaders who ride this wave of American productivity. The housing industry, cartelized middle men, lobbyists & bloated executives might still be net negative.

The US isn't just productive. It is productive beyond the wildest imagination of the rest of world. But, that tends to not show up in the numbers or in practice, because a just as large industry of grifters keeps it from cashing it its productivity.

The US wins, not by being more efficient or effective. But by sheer brute force.

Labour actively avoid doing anything the Tories can spin to weaponise the electorate against them. They don't feel bold enough to reverse anything the Tories have done, because the Tories will spin it as Labour taking away our freedoms or charging us too much tax whatever nonsense.
Analogies comparing household finances to government finances are pretty apples to oranges. A household can’t easily get unsecured loans below prime, print money to cover debts, or do many other things that governments can.
How is wanting to see a tradition you help build stay alive and choosing to spend money on seeing that tradition stay alive against one's self-interest?
Inflation is their primary lever actually. Why bother paying down the debt when you can simply make it worth less? It's fiscally irresponsible, but that's how it works.
I came to the US on H1B, and while there are some restrictions, and US bureaucracy is dumber than most, calling it "living in servitude" is absurd.

Decoupling the ownership of the ISA from ownership of the silicon means chip makers can compete more openly. Anyone with chip design capabilities can design and market their own premade RISC-V cores or offer custom silicon design services.

With ARM they acted as a gatekeeper through their licenses. Anyone who wanted to design ARM based chips needed a license and their licensing structure has gotten more complicated and expensive over the years.

That's for them to find out. Employment status is probably a big one.

I was just on holiday in south eastern Europe in a resort town where the workforce was entirely composed of the same kind of immigrants, and none of these immigrants were "integrated" by this standard. But there was no criminality. Maybe because all of them were gainfully employed and felt like they had a future.

That's just one example.

My point is, there is a false equivalence being exercised here. Just because somebody is not integrated by whatever arbitrary standard, does not mean that they are prone to engage in criminal activity.
I have had a less technologically forward gripe with microwaves. The start button should not exist. Number pads should not exist. There should really only be one main button that you press: “quick cook/add 30” that auto starts it. No one has a valid use case for setting their microwave to run for 1:37. Multiples of 30 are all the granularity you need.

Some companies get this right but others it’s astounding how many buttons you have to press to get the damn thing to start. I very much enjoy my current microwave which has a quick start button which is also knob. So you poke it and it just goes, but once running you can granularity adjust time up or down by turning the knob. Very satisfying.
My dream: to have every supermarket item embedded with an RFID tag so I can have a constantly up-to-date pantry inventory, with notifications of out-of-stock or near-expired products.

I assume it’s using WASM for browser based web encoding? Is local encoding always guaranteed to be faster or could some internet connections be fast enough that an upload would beat out the client side encoding depending on device capabilities?

> A one time expense of 8% GDP for a 4% growth is great. That means it would get paid back in two years (...)

Not quite. The payback time will depend on the growth in government revenues, which should be correlated to GDP growth, but a fraction of it.
That's the Detroit method if taken too far. The trick is to fix the problem before everyone leaves.
If EU wants american military bases out, then I'm all for it. Why do you people want so much killing?

Then, you turn around and say " look at how much killing religion/ideology/etc has done" but at the end of the day it pales in comparison to the kills the military industrial complex has racked up and you defend because a guy with the opposite political affiliation than you can't ever be right. But hey, think of the GDP.

> It is also interesting to compare this to the stories that came out of breath of the wild of them specifically asking their newer developers for the crazy ideas and that leading to how great BoTW was. However given just how crazy Wonder is I have to imagine this was still the case here.

It's a double-edged sword, because Nintendo is also a top-down organization and much of their infamous "behind the curve" issues when it comes to online functionality has been attributed to the top brass not being familiar with it/not thinking it's important.

BOTW was kinda the exception that proves the rule. But maybe with its wild success they are finally starting to change.

>The totally subjective hedonic quality adjustment (sure food is more expensive but iPads have more ram!), also this knife only ever seems to cut one way, enshittification doesn't have a inflationary effect like you would expect.

Quality adjustment is only active for a few basket items, and their contribution to the overall cpi is minimal. All the extra food inflation that's supposedly happening isn't being held back by faster iPads.

>Owner imputed rent as opposed to looking at what consumers actually pay.

Most Americans are homeowners. For them, they don't pay any rent. Pretending that they pay market rent has no relation to what their actual expenses are. How do you propose we capture their expenses?
