And yet, European and American funds have been pulling out of China in the last few years. European, American, Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean manufacturing have been leaving China. Evergrande has gone bankrupt. Country Garden is next to go bankrupt.

Maybe all these smart money know something you don't.

Cities are dynamic in much the same manner as axe's that have handles and axe heads replaced .. while growing larger and spawing smaller axes about them.

The "Great Fire of London" took out a large chunk of the city which allowed for a clean slate redesign and rebuild of a district - it didn't wipe out the entire city, modern London is vast compared to the original Londinium Fort.

The original quote, as given, was that most cities in the world were built on the implied total ruin of prior cities - I'd argue that relatively few cities (not most) were built on the smoking ruins of near total destruction (74 cities at least in Japan fit the bill, along with roughly that number in Europe) with most having a more organic growth based on a long series of partial rebuilding of districts in rotation.

Thank you for your advice - I did once work on digitising a few hundred years worth of city records some 40 years ago.
Ackshually, I've further insulated myself from the advertising industry's influence or ROI far more than you could ever know and likely replicate personally. This is just so glib and lovechild-of-terse-and-misguided on so many levels I can't even get to the bottom of the pile. Lets just disagree to agree on this.

Edit: Also you stay away from my miniature son and never come back ;)
As an anti-capitalist I have my theories on how this would happen. During the strike there was a loud anti-patriarchy sentiment both among the organizers and among the crowd. You can spot many signs saying „Fokk Feðraveldið“ (or “fuck the patriarchy”).

In many feminist theories the pay-gap and patriarchy are tightly coupled, you can’t get rid of one without the other, so many feminists tackle the patriarchy directly. I personally go a little further and tackle capitalism among these (as do many other feminists; though not as visible in today’s strike).

In my mind the only reason it seems impossible to close the uncorrected gender pay gap is that the capitalist class are majority men, and our capitalist system will unfairly and unevenly take the profits generated from workers (many of whom women) and steer them towards the bosses and shareholders (most of whom men).

I think the organizers are thinking something similar, except they didn’t state the anti-capitalist part out loud. Dismantling the patriarchy means stopping this system where men are the owner and shareholders and hold all the power in government and among the business elite. For some—e.g. the Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir, who was also striking today—this may mean bringing women to the top, but for many of the organizers this probably means bringing the men at the top down, among the system which favors them.
I am hearing "engineers are fungible." But any company can just outsource whatever they want. Why hire anyone from your own country for any reason?

And why hire people in silicon Valley where they cost double what they would pretty much anywhere else?
The issue you are referring to is on the reddit -> lemmy side, but I see what you mean.

I think I could make a separate application with less permissions and then just this one when two-way communication is ready and opt-in?
I live in a rural buffer area, a 15 minute drive from a large downtown with theatres, restaurants, shows, festivals/parades etc. There’s no compromise here. None of that would be possible without good road and personal vehicles.
A good book on this is The Coddling of the American Mind. It argues several factors (including social media, safteyism, and the decline in unstructured play time) are responsible for the significant rise in young adult mental health issues that started around 2012. Good read.
All depends what Watterson does with his estate when that time comes. Watterson has shown to have a greater resolve for his position on this than most others and it wouldn't surprise me that he has this figured out to prevent anything until the copyright runs its course.
It's not too useful to lump Tesla, Cruise, and Waymo together here. Tesla is years behind Cruise and cruise is years behind Waymo in terms of driving capability. Waymo doesn't even drive on highways, so we don't know how safe it would be (probably very safe).
I would like to live in a world where solving an ancient mystery pays better than what a realtor gets for selling a single house.
> If the cynical slant you suggest is true, then we don't actually have governments any longer, and you should not use that word. In that case, we ought to figure out how we lost real government, what we have instead, and how to get rid of it.

Under this perfect standard, you never had a "real government" in the first place. You had, at best, some approximation of it, and you gradually lost it to time.
See more in the rain y dark? Sure.

But can they look at a driver's face and realise that they are distracted with their phone and haven't seen you?
It appears that the clever trick is to have the automated system make choices that would be commercially unfortunate - such as killing the cyclist - but to hand control back to the human driver just before the event occurs. Thus Tesla are not at fault. I feel ok with blaming Tesla for that, yeah.

This always goes the same way. The public demands regulation on some category of corporation. Those corporations, strangely enough, agree. "Yes, regulate us, please!" The regulation passes. Hmm, the corporations are still doing what they were doing before. Seems like they were able to find a loophole successfully. Oh and what's this? The smaller competitors are unable to use the loophole effectively, and went out of business? The CEOs of the large corporations clink champagne glasses while their stock skyrockets.
Aren't they operating under a lot of constraints? The comparison should be with human drivers operating under similar conditions and on similar roads, similar cars(eg. new ones), weather conditions etc.

Plus they have a fleet of support folks and standby remote and dispatchable operators which cannot be cheap, we get no insight into the financials except that they're losing several billion dollars a year. If at the end you end up paying more than for a Uber for the service to be sustainable then what's the point.
I have a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. Just this weekend I stopped for lunch and had XM on until it timed out ~ 10 minutes after key off. I’ve done this since I got the car. But when I went to start the car the battery was low voltage (which really freaks the computer out) and would not start. This story fits the fact pattern!
And yet a common thread in post-mortems on so many self-driving car collisions boils down to, "the car doesn't have object permanence."

It may have some ability to track specific things in specific ways in a manner that's hard-coded by engineers. But if that's the same thing as an actual mental model of the world then that implies that we've had a significant piece of AGI in the form of many video games for about half a century now and just not known it.
There is no real difference with a skilled operator but proponents of "the better gear" will tell you otherwise, forgetting that their main problem is in fact their lack of skill.

In the end disc brakes bikes are everywhere for the same reason 2 tons SUV are everywhere. It does not have much to do with real needs or actual real-world performance with skilled operators, sadly...
Sure, but according to rule 34 Bilbo Baggins did spend your childhood having copious amounts of sex.
That's pretty cool, especially as my collection has a bunch of 90s-00s goth and indie bits and pieces which just aren't present on the streaming services.

This was something google play music was supposed to do as well, though that's dead now!
Waymo also talks about its work with SwissRe here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-Qu6HNZu8g
Been a flurry of self driving car safety news lately. Both Cruise and Waymo are reaching for more sophisticated comparison samples than nationwide stats to demonstrate the safety of their systems.

But the obvious way to prove this, to me anyway, is to run a randomized controlled trial. Put them in a dispatch system with human driven cars, randomize whether any given assignment goes to a human or a robot, and you've got the statistical gold standard.

Anybody understand why they're not doing this?
Yep, the amount of access being requested seems excessive:

Access posts and comments through my account.
Access the list of subreddits I moderate, contribute to, and subscribe to.
Access my inbox and send private messages to other users.
Access my reddit username and signup date.
Submit links and comments from my account.
Maintain this access indefinitely (or until manually revoked).

I would expect this app to only need 2nd and 4th items in this list.
> I'm also pretty surprised that people think email metadata from government is legitimate open data. Do you think it should be public how many times you have emailed government and gotten a response, and to which departments? I don't.

on the surface i agree with you. beneath the surface, other governmental units already possess all the metadata for your emails/phone calls, it would be a weird bit of asymmetry to say it’s okay for them to have your metadata but not for you to have their metadata.

it’s not a perfect mirror, for obvious reasons, but if OP went on to show that this metadata is powerful and push that neither side should be collecting that type of metadata, then that’s a single legitimate use i can think of for this kind of FOIA.
Yes, but we’re still comparing a highly selected set of AV miles vs the massive variety of human-driven miles.
Why is the business with CFLAGS and LDFLAGS a big deal?
Because if you follow the standard ways, your program is easier to package in a distro.

CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LDLIBS are set by a distro build. They specify system-wide settings that the distro wants. Anything from special ways of linking the program, to tuning optimization for a particular CPU and whatnot.

The more your Makefile sticks to standards, the less they have to do.

Make sure you support "make DESTDIR=<directory>" to install into a temporary directory of the caller's choice. E.g. if your prefix (another thing to support) is /usr/bin then "make DESTDIR=tmp-dir" installs into tmp-dir/usr/bin. The software is configured to run in /usr/bin though and won't necessarily execute properly out of there; that tmp-dir is just for packaging.

However you do compiler selection, make sure that the default is to use $(CC).

Regarding the OUR_CFLAGS thing in my above post: the reason some Makefiles clobber CFLAGS is that they can then use built-in recipes. The built-in recipe for compiling a .c to a .o only knows about CC and CFLAGS. It's worth it to replace the built-in recipes with your own though in order not to disturb the standard variables.
The predictions for the GDP overtake is mid 2040s. That’s more than two decades, not a couple of years. A lot can happen between now and then.
> That surface-level judgement is as naive and nubile as it gets.

Nubile? Auto-correct mistake? Or just a very strange worldview?
The idea the supply and demand are manipulated/controlled by the creator of the product, not the market of buyers and sellers. So that negates the private ownership part as well as supply and demand being controlled by buyers and sellers.
Really disappointed at the suspension. Seems like a knee jerk reaction, although cruise should have been more transparent.
At this point we should have 4 or 5 self driving car companies testing on public roads not just 2 companies (Waymo and Cruise I don't count Tesla to be self driving but driver assist, the 2 are waymo and Cruise), in Two cities (Phoenix and San Franscio, although LA< Houston Dallas coming soon).
In 2015 I anticipated by early 2020s we would have self driving taxis in a dozen US metro cities not just two. What can we do to accelerate the transition towards this fantastic future? Also Canada so far behind.

The original patents expired years ago (2016/2017?) and even before them EInk had some legal setbacks (Trekstor/OED). I remember buying a Plastic Logic device that used a different tech w/ similar output (OTFT substrate), and we've seen waves of technologies/companies come and go (Liquivista, Clearink, Mirasol, QR-LPD, DES, RLCD, etc.) so there isn't any shortage of competing technologies, it just turns out development/productization of new display technologies is massively expensive (EInk worked w/ Philips to get started and had to spend hundreds of millions ramping up production) and pretty thankless - Mary Lou Jepson had some interesting public discussions on the economics of new display tech when launching/running Pixel Qi.

I've heard that Eink is notoriously hard to work with and as an outsider looking in, their product development is frustratingly slow, but it's a public company (acquired by a Taiwanese company a long while back), and looking at their financials over recent years, their operating margins seem to be 10-15%, which I guess beats a lot of other display companies, but still doesn't seem so impressive vs other semi/tech companies. That no one's disrupted them over the past few decades I think speaks to how it's more than just an IP moat at play.
The docs call out that page break is supposed to work in PDF, so I guess it should work now? I've found Asciidoctor-pdf to be pretty incredible in the output it produces — only problem is the arcane config file…

>In 2011 Goldman Sachs projected that China’s GDP would surpass America’s in 2026 and become over 50% larger by mid-century. No peak was in sight. At the end of last year the bank revisited its calculations. It now thinks China’s economy will not overtake America’s until 2035 and at its high point will be only 14% bigger (see chart).

>China’s peak looks similar in an influential forecast from last year by Roland Rajah and Alyssa Leng of the Lowy Institute, an Australian think-tank. Others see an even lower summit. Capital Economics, a research firm, argues that China’s economy will never be number one. It will reach 90% of America’s size in 2035 and then lose ground. In so far as the Peak China thesis can be captured in a single projection, this is it.
> works pretty amazingly in SF

For you the rider. Everyone else in this thread who has to deal with these vehicles in traffic is saying otherwise.

If these things are perfect, they’d save about thirty lives per year in SF. That’s not nothing, but it’s not some unparalleled achievement either. Particularly when the cost is putting a large and vulnerable set of low-income people entirely out of work with nothing on the horizon to replace those jobs.

Is it the future? Sure. Is it the future we want? I’m unconvinced.
Seems like 'limit' is a misnomer here.
Too bad they don't have Toronto listed. There was a place called Il Gato Nero on College St that had been in a couple locations in the area for about 50 years. The family has a new and different location in Etobicoke, but I spent probably 20 years drinking coffee at its College bars and they were an anchor for the street and neighbourhood.

If you were from downtown, it was where a lot of our stories and memories happened. You knew legends about people who you saw there but might not have talked to much. I left the city shortly after it closed because there wasn't anything to replace the life it made possible, where you could spend a saturday morning with a newspaper at the bar that served real food and make small talk with strangers. You might learn their names and what they did after a decade of seeing them, but it didn't matter. I still pop into the new place once in a while to pick up the coffee that is like nowhere else and it's worth the trip, but the downtown chapter is closed.

Same with La Hacienda on Queen St. Those two spots were landmarks of the city and its culture, and when they went, they took a lot of the coherence of the stories of people who grew up in them with them. Brunch tables full of punks, goths, and rockers wearing last nights makeup at La Hacienda usually with some awful local hardcore blaring over the speakers and farcically hostile service were what defined Queen st. People there were legends too. You'd see them and hear stories about them even if you'd never been introduced, and everyone would always talk about how they knew each other when.

Pandemic policies killed those places and also destroyed the culture of the city, so I left. I'm sure new people will make new memories, but it takes generations to make anything like that again.
Chronic (as in regular,
not heavy) drinking causes changes in mood, increased stress and body function. A glass of wine a day for example.

Reference: https://youtu.be/DkS1pkKpILY?si=SIn7pg3ebRGbHcXQ

Alcohol is so ingrained in popular culture that criticising it is almost taboo.

Culture will play a big part in what people under the legal age to buy consume with family. It can be a good think but I reckon once a month have a glass of wine.
>Evn if they fall to 800mil people, that is still more than 2x more than USA

In the time it takes for China's population to fall this low, the US population is expected to grow significantly, assuming the current rate of immigration continues.

>Look at Japan, their 100m dwindling to 80m still so dominant

Innovation and GDP growth has basically completely stopped in Japan due to the burden of the aging population. What's the last piece of innovative software or hardware you used that was made in Japan?
What a bizarre reaction to my post. Watterson’s complaints about modern art, for example, are conservative, and it is people on the other end of the divide who might be turned off by that. Watterson in the mid 1990s was an aging Midwestern white male, and some traits of conservatism are exactly what one would expect from that demographic.
Custom solutions aren't the enemy, but in situations where an applicable evidence-based medicine protocol exists it would be malpractice to deviate from that without a damn good reason. Those treatment protocols produce good results for average patients (i.e. most of us).
Is this like the psychological version of “beating makes a kid strong,” which has ample evidence against it?

Also what social media have you been on that helps people engage productively with ideas they disagree with?
I think you're looking at this basic snippet and taking it for something it's not. Not shown in this example and considered best practice are:

- Defining and validating data structures passed in; type doesn't have to be a basic type, it can be complex objects

- Default value

- Input validation criteria

So, with a real world example this is still going to be less verbose than the java equivalents.

Much worse even, and given the recent and ongoing events, several EU governments have shown zero respect for freedom of speech and a tendency to accuse large parts of their population of "supporting terrorism". In the UK, police regularly harasses citizens for expressing their voice on social media and elsewhere on sensitive politic matters. And I am supposed to welcome these governments reading into my private messages in search for possible crimes? No way.
I was advised to keep psilocybin mushrooms with my final exit kit, as they are said to make it easier to accept your own death. That doesn't sound like a good idea for someone with acute depression, but it could be for someone planning an escape from inescapable pain.

But ... if it makes it easier to accept ones own death, does it also make it easier to accept the death of other people? Could it at least release the inhibition of someone already inclined that way?
but they don't know capabilities orf vehicles, say a vespa vs some sports bike.

Some of these questions seem a bit invasive. I've been interviewed by people I would have been a sibling of on the management chart, and I've interviewed the same.

If I was asked this question with my manager on the call:

> “What kind of critical feedback have you heard from your manager? How often does that happen?”

I would be a bit uncomfortable, and I assume most people in that situation would range from very uncomfortable to a little uncomfortable. It's not a non-management team member's obligation to share things that are privately shared (likely in one-on-ones) about their own performance, just to pass some candidate's "filter".

I think interviewing your would-be manager is fair game, and interviewing non-management interviewers about overall experience working at the company is fine, but I don't see any value to this as a filter.

One could even turn it up a notch:

> (You, in an interview with your would-be manager, and one of their reports)

> You: What is one criticism of management at the company that you haven't already shared with them

TBF Mike's done both: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/02/22/i-explained-to-a-court-h...

This isn't some ragtag blogger, he very much makes sure to utilize and report on all available channels on issues like these. But of course, what HackerNews votes on will be swayed more by "complaining about tech company" instead of "complaining to the judges".
Maximum of two years, in practice means you'll be out in a few months on probation. You'll keep most of your life and get a story to tell for the rest of it.

Worth calling their bluff, I reckon.
All those companies failed to achieve their goals and went out of business?

Just because you don’t see the progress and don’t like the process doesn’t mean progress isn’t being made.
There are actual issues with comparing PPP numbers[1], but "tofu dreg buildings, gutter oil, fake food, [...]" isn't one of them.

[1] specifically that on the world market, it doesn't really matter what the value of your goods PPP adjusted is. In the end buyers only care about the absolute value of the goods. The fact that it was made in China (and therefore gets a PPP adjustment up) is irrelevant.
