> almost every single tech or manufacturing company (except Tesla?) that wants to sell in China has to be a joint owned venture

Apple, Oracle, Amazon, GE, Micron, Intel, Dell, Samsung, Kingston, LG, Seagate, Inventec ... Not a single one of these is a joint venture. They are all wholly foreign-owned enterprises (WFOEs) [1][2]

According to the Department of Commerce,

> A large majority of new foreign investments in China are WFOEs, rather than JVs. As Chinese legal entities, WFOEs experience greater independence than ROs, are allowed exclusive control over carrying out business activities while abiding by Chinese law and are granted intellectual and technological rights. (https://www.export.gov/apex/article2?id=China-Establishing-a...)

Also (https://arc-group.com/china-company-setup/):

> WFOE refers to a limited liability company that is 100% invested, owned by foreign investors, and independently operated. Almost 60% of foreign-owned companies are WFOEs, making it the most adopted business type. Famous multinational companies such as Apple, Amazon, Oracle, and General Electric are all examples of WFOEs.

The argument is that you're accusing someone to turn left when they turned right, and I'm saying you're wrong because they could miss their turn or over turn or go over the curb but not go entirely the wrong side.

You're clearly taking this personally, this is internet commenting, take a deep breath and stop fixating on winning internet points.

Ask HN: How do you write blog posts on iOS
I created a blog in the hopes that I would publish a post at least once a month however after work, I rarely use a computer, therefore I never have time to write my blog posts. I have a private Github repository which automatically builds (the Hugo website) and publishes on each commit. Do you write posts on the go with iOS devices, if so, what is your workflow?

I use obsidian as general note taking (I use a daily zettelkasten note to dump whatever stuff inside in situations where thinking and deciding about making a new file, with which name and where would disrupt the flow or would be too slow. I may put the content somewhere else after). I also use it for more organised stuff, like I have a folder in my obsidian vault about job/conference etc applications, another folder about work presentations etc.

I use zettlr on more project related documents, that typically reside in a `doc` folder in the respective project directories rather than in my obsidian vault. This is much faster as usually I am already working in that directory, and opening things in an obsidian vault is too distracting then. I would say that in general compartmentalising between work within a project and the general context/structure of my notes helps me a lot with not interrupting my flow states, even if this just began because of different software conveniences.

Sometimes I also work on md files in my obsidian vault using zettlr because I like a bit more how it handles pasting images from clipboard memory (gives you the option to resize the image on the fly, not sure if this is possible somehow in obsidian).
You can do 400 km with unrepeated systems.

However, very seldom do you need or want to go that far on land since very, very few places worth connecting are more than 400 km from somewhere else.

Repeatered systems can go thousands of miles and the repeater sites are handy for local breakout.

What matters is the distance between the end of your driveway to the end of the next person’s driveway not the exchange. Like power lines many homes can all use the same cable.

And sure there’s going to be a few unprofitable edge cases, that’s what mandates are for. A company that wants to serve high density neighborhoods ends up paying for a few random houses far from each other. The average cost per home is what makes an area profitable at least when you setup the local monopoly correctly.
If it’s going to function as an energy source doesn’t it need to run a turbine so it can’t be water? The article said it’s going to just use heat directly so I guess they could use water.

But if ever the need arose it needs to be higher than 100C so it can generate steam for the turbine? Maybe I’m way off, I’m just a guy.
Yep and then alphastar started winning matches against top players by individually microing ~20 stalkers at the same time. Not something any human, even a world champion, can do.

The fun thing is that alphastar did have influence on the starcraft scene. Overbuilding drones used to be taboo, now everybody does it. And even individually microing stalkers ... now it's quite normal for players to go out with 2-3 stalkers and indeed individually control them. These are good tactically, even when you're not an AI.

If we're going to arbitrarily categorize groups and order them by attention to detail, the canonical listing is:

- docs
- tester
- dba
- project manager
- dev
- manager

But given the state of the industry it's possible you've never worked with anyone in the first several groups.

All kidding aside, your problem sounds like it's rooted in a lack of trust leading to breakdown of communication. The proposal to talk LESS to the people that you already don't see as "on your team" will inevitably perpetuate the cycle.

> All a developer needs is more rigorous requirements

You may be under the impression that your job is to talk to machines, but it's really not. Your job is to talk to people and develop that rigorous specification collaboratively.

Relatedly, UT Austin found the SAT highly predictive and decided to reinstate the requirement: https://news.utexas.edu/2024/03/11/ut-austin-reinstates-stan...

> Those who opted in had a median SAT score of 1420, compared with a median of 1160 among those who did not.

> The higher standardized scores translated on average to better collegiate academic performance. Of 9,217 first-year students enrolled in 2023, those who opted in had an estimated average GPA of 0.86 grade points higher during their first fall semester, controlling for a wide range of factors, including high school class rank and GPA.

A $5.6B valuation means that Postman is about as valuable as Reddit ($6.4B). There might be an alternative simulated universe in which this makes sense, but it is not ours. Unfortunately, the market can stay irrational longer than I can stay solvent, so I won't short Postman if it will be listed sometime in the future, but damn, I would really like to do so.
Sure, I agree, this is just my own high level strategy that works for me but might not for you and your situation.

From what I saw, marketing is about data and a lot of money. If you don't have that, it's about having a big profile online account that people follow and trust - but I'm just not the person to build that, posting my stream of consciousness multiple times a day makes me cringe and my jokes are not funny. So I went B2B because I spent my career in large enterprises and understand them.

The same thing applies, though - people buy solutions from people they trust.

Dunning–Kruger effect might have something to do with it.

The real issue is that Vancouver is full of NIMBYs who want sightlines, low density, and “character” preserved. It’s basically encoded into the zoning laws for the municipality. Those groups will use whatever tactics at hand to prevent density at a scale they don’t approve of from being built.
No, unless it includes a credit score. These companies are shady and don't follow the law as intended. They would need your permission to store the data in the first place. Hence the journalism "workaround".

Proper background checks for criminality are done by the police, who hands the paper to the person the check is done on, and can only be done for roles for which the police are allowed to do those checks for. Like banking and teachers.

If you setup user namespace, the child processes will inherit that namespace. The difference is that plan9 is fully built on this idea and isn't multi-user, on linux you have to opt-in to this. It's very useful and underused (mostly used by containers). I wanted to ship my AWS lambdas this way, but sadly AWS lambdas don't allow user namespaces.

In the roman law tradition, which Ukraine follows, everything's legal except that which is specifically made illegal.

If there's no law against it, then it's legal.

Being a democracy has nothing to do with it. If you're an adult, you should learn the basics of law, because the law applies to you anyway.
This is called a Storage heater (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_heater), usually referred to in the UK as a Night Storage Heater as it took advantage of cheap electricity at night to provide heat for a house.

Fitting Night Storage radiators was a much cheaper way of fitting central heating than the normal boiler and plumbing approach, and when electricity was cheaper it made more sense. Now, it makes no sense and if you buy a house with it the first thing you have to do is put in "proper" central heating. But maybe with excess renewables that will swing back.
The fact that the PNW is as expensive as the Bay area or even SoCal is a travesty. At least the first nation people figured out how to break the planning commission nonsense and took charge in their own communities. So long as they keep out the foreign hot funny money that made the regular cities too expensive they'll do just fine.

Yeah, the article ends with:

> In conclusion, our work focuses on the predictive power of admissions tests and shows that this power is not an artifact of SES. There is a substantial SES–test relationship, though it is important to note that test scores reflect far more than SES. About a quarter of the variance in test scores is shared with SES, and thus there is large variability in test scores at any given level of SES. Thus, claims that tests are merely proxies for SES are unfounded

I've never understood the model of the world that people who don't agree with this. If you believe that

a) genetics exist, and traits such as intelligence are therefore hereditary;
and
b) socioeconomic success is correlated to intelligence

Then the inevitable conclusion is that wealthy people will be more likely to have higher SAT scores. Of course this is obviously just a correlation; lottery winners are rich but with no correlation to intelligence, children of two intelligent parents tend to regress to the mean, two average parents can produce intelligent children, families might be poor simply through bad luck or some particular emotional/mental block they have, and a million other factors. But nevertheless we'd expect test scores to be our best available wealth-blind predictor of college success and later success. Certainly it's hard to imagine children with money-poor - or maybe mildly abusive - parents having a shot without test scores. They'd be less likely to have a deep extracurricular involvement or anything else requiring parental involvement.
> There's some ideological benefits, but plan9 creates a mess of implicit text protocols, ugly string handling, syscall storms and memory inefficiencies.

On the other hand, linux ioctl and syscalls have infinite binary structs you need to know (and cannot let the compiler reorder fields in), which then doesn't make cross-platform development any easier.

It doesn't matter what issue they put his nonsense in. What matters is that his article was designed on purpose to look 'intellectual' but was made up of total nonsense to prove his point that the editors will allow any junk to be published as long as it looks 'sophisticated'. And he indeed proved it. That's it. They would be better off just admitting that they made a mistake but noo, instead they pretend that nothing happened and it is all just a misunderstanding. And you completely unnecessary carry water for them.
There’s been tons of opposition to building up in Vancouver, especially outside of downtown. Opposition isn’t unique to indigenous builders.

The flipper isn't really a full sdr though, it just has a very minimalist RF IC that has almost non-existent bandwidth.

For $400 you can get a limeSDR mini that can read and write 30MHz of spectrum at a time, ie the entire ham 70cm band all at once.

If you think a flipper is dangerous, plug in a dummy load and dump noise on L1 then watch your phones GPS stop working, or alternatively decide it's on another continent.
