The description of "non-tourist" Chinese is intended to describe persons that are of Chinese ancestry, and in these contexts, more likely than not, immigrants from China now living-in, and/or working-in a different nation, for example, France, Italy, or the United States; their (primary) purpose for physically being there is not tourism/leisure/recreation.

No, a person living in America who was born in China, or whose parents were born in China, could self-identify or be identified as Chinese, American, both (e.g. "Chinese-American"), neither, or something else entirely.
Precisely. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Wear a jacket with the message all you want. But timing and context of the message matters.

Even if I were an anarchist, I wouldn’t wear a “let’s burn it all down” jacket to the site of a massive fire either. Sometimes your message is less important than paying attention to your surroundings, especially as the First Lady.

So yes, she deserved all the anger headed in her direction for that stunt, but the jacket wasn’t the issue. The context, timing, and absolute tone-deafness was.
Which was a negotiation tactic and a lie, since dealers make a lot of their money from volume bonuses and not just the price difference of a car. "Invoice price" is also often not the actual price dealerships pay for a vehicle.
God I'd give anything to see that happen. It would be the happiest day of my life, especially once (not if) other countries start following suit with their own regulations that will target Apple and they pull out of more and more countries until they only sell in Texas, I guess.

When I got started w/ PCs in the late 80s I wrote a GW-BASIC program to take keypresses (one of those 'IF INKEY$<>""' type programs) and write each keypress out to my Okidata dot matrix printer a character at a time. Pressing keys made a physical thing move. That's always fun.

It particularly interesting to send control codes to see what they made the printer do. Pressing <ENTER> got carriage returns without advancing the platen (so you could type over and over again on the same line). <CTRL><L> made the printer advance to the next page of the fan fold. <CTRL><G> made the printer beep.

I figured out that <CTRL><H> moved the print head backward. I used this to make some "impossible to print" output (that is, impossible for my word processor to reproduce because it wouldn't send backspaces for the purposes of over-printing).

Later, during my youthful phase of probing systems on various networks, I ran into systems that, upon entry of a bad password, would send a series of backspaces, various random letters, pound signs, and asterisks before giving a new logon prompt. At the time I didn't put two and two together. (I hadn't yet read Levy's "Hackers" and the idea of using a teletype as an input device on a computer wasn't a thing I'd heard about yet.)

Years later, looking at old captures and seeing this seemingly strange series of characters, I realized what the purpose was. The characters were being sent to obliterate the password printed by your teletype's local echo.

(I want to say the OS was PRIMOS but I don't remember for sure. I saw a number of them on either Tymnet or Telenet-- maybe both.)

So you mean: "they could have avoided the fight by avoiding lending". The reply would very probably be that they thought they did what was Right... Many of us agree. A proper online library: yes this is one of the greatest ideas and values.
I am not a deep, low-level developer... I've only tinkered with some direct hardware access over the years. I will say, that I've toyed with Rust (Axum and others) for mid-tier API usage and found the results to be more than effective.

I didn't find working with Axum to be much more difficult than say Koa with Node or C# since .Net Core. It took a bit of structure to get things going, but in general it was relatively straight forward.

The couple things I've done on the UI side, mostly around Yew, has been much more difficult for me to wrap my mind around however. I think there's room for improvement, and I do think there's room for a better templating structure. There's definitely not a white box solution for getting things done like some other platforms and languages. You have to put a bit more of it together. It's the difference between Lego Mindstorm and Duplo.

I'm not following. I'm definitely not seeing any such thing. Do you think someone should be allowed to drive this [1] on a public road as long as they have a driver's license? Obviously (I hope) not. The vehicles that are allowed to be used on a road are already regulated separately.

> Not an insignificant part of what bicycles are doing on US roads is not common sense.

One of the problems with appealing to "common sense" is that no one agrees on which things are common sense. It's common sense to me that bicycles should be ridden on the road, and rarely ever on the sidewalk. Yet there are people that I think honestly believe that common sense should dictate the opposite. Where does that leave us?

A lot of bicyclists run stop signs and ride the wrong way. That bothers me. A lot of motor vehicle drivers exceed the speed limit and use cell phones while driving. That also bothers me.

As a matter of fact, yes! This YouTube video is probably one of the most amazing things I have ever seen, he measured the change in voltage traveling along a Y circuit, where one end is open and one is closed.

You can see the voltage “ripple” through both branches of the circuit, reflect of the ends of the branches, and eventually settle into steady state. There are limits to this way of thinking (for example, water can’t travel in the space between “tubes”, but electricity can), but it is a very good way to approximate it.

I remember reading it was "undocumented" Chinese nationals who were traveling back and forth between China and Italy. One of Italy's largest textile factories is literally within miles of the Wuhan lab and many speculated that many of the workers were moving back and forth and brought the virus from the factory to Italy.

But you are correct in the fact there is no denying Italy was hit very early on, well before many realized what was going on. I remember seeing an article were Italian doctors were concerned they had five deaths in a single weekend from new strain of influenza they hadn't seen before.

In Cory Doctorow's Walkaway, a human's mind is uploaded to a computer after her death. Except, the scan of her brain is not perfect, because physics. So, the uploaded mind keeps going insane every few hours/day. And the researchers keep trying to play with the simulation parameters to try to stabilize it/her.
It seems long overdue that the state's students have at least the option of taking some computer science classes. I cannot imagine a student from inner city Detroit majoring in computer science in college not starting impossibly behind everyone else if they haven't had some exposure to programming in high school.

But will it help the state overall? One major problem that the state of Michigan has is the top CS students from our state's universities overwhelmingly leave the state and that is not being addressed by our legislators.

Thank you for the response and the reference information to root this conversation.

I appreciate this statement, and have one question to ask:

> The deal was very explicitly that federal land was to be managed to avoid a tragedy of the commons with regards to resource extraction. Resource extraction was one of the primary goals mandated by congress and no, they cannot simply decide they don't want to.

Question: if we are going to avoid a tragedy of the commons, wouldn't that mean in some cases you have to say "no"?

In the OP article, the BLM is criticized for being too in the pocket of industry and allowing unsustainable resource extraction. Which brings up the point of old growth forests - there are not a lot of them. It makes sense to say "no" here? There are very few old growth forests around, yet they would be very profitable to chop down (let's recall Paul Bunyon chopping down the redwoods, that activity generated piles of cash). Thus the tension.

I would want us to focus most on the question that whether to have sustainability, at times you have to say no. For example, you can't go on a diet and then say yes to everything you want to eat - there has to be a time to say no.

With regards to how well the BLM has been run, how true it has been to its mission, and particularly over the years as it transitions from various leaders (flip-flopping from conservationist types to industry executives).. (A) I don't know how a coherent policy can be kept when leadership changes like that. (B) Yeah, BLM has a long history that is not great. The National Parks service at Yosemite used to have a bear feeding show that they did daily - where they would have a group of people in an amphitheater watch as they dumped out a bunch of food for bears to come and eat.. I mention that to say that government services/policy do not have a great track record and that I share your feelings that BLM is kinda all over the place and that we both share a lack of love for it.
I think some of it's a matter of workflow design, rather than any particular technology. In particular, synchronous systems which can't work unless every part is ready to operate, versus asynchronous ones where delays are part of the design and the goal is eventual rather than immediate consistency.

The former are far more vulnerable to outages and interruptions.
> their government-mandated monopoly

Anyone can open a dealership, except manufacturers, and it looks to be a reasonable and non discriminatory process. Critically, the government does not mandate the minimum or maximum number of dealerships in an area, so competition is not harmed in any way. This really does not seem like a monopoly issue.

This seems to be a application of the second system effect noticed by Fred Brooks in the 1960s (that the second version of a system is extraordinarily dangerous because of all the "while we're in here why don't we..." opportunities)
You know, I've always been kinda amused that something very simple like "cat a b >c" or even "fa = open("a", O_APPEND | O_WRONLY); fb = open("b", O_RDONLY); sendfile(fa, fb, NULL, 0x7ffff000);" doesn't really have either user-visible specialized API nor under-the-hood speed ups in the FS implementations. It's just gluing two files together, it's got to be a very popular operation, about as popular as "prepend the contents of file A to file B". But you can't do it in-place which is kinda annoying when you have to preserve the existing files' attributes.

> Box plots don't make anything bell shaped (...), they assume that your data follows a bell/gaussian shape.

Not true. Box plots represent low and and high quantiles independently and support the representation of outliers.

This alone is enough to make it clear for everyone that they don't require a distribution to be symmetric, let alone bell shape.

It's unfortunate that these laws focus on AI. Why isn't it illegal to use traditional algorithms that have bias? Why aren't there regulations ensuring bias testing when humans themselves make decisions?

In all cases the bias originates from human behaviour. The one advantage of AI being used is that now that bias is surfaced. But it's always been there, which is why the machine learning algorithms learn it. It's just that no one typically looks at the data in aggregate prior to AI.

In any case, these rules should not be scoped to AI in my opinion. They should include algorithms and also require bias testing for teams of humans making decisions. If anything, I'd trust an AI system that has been analyzed for bias over a human making a decision.]

My previous company also turned away from Jenkins to GitHub actions. I'm not an infra guy and the only complaint about the Jenkins pipeline is its slowness as it copies everything from the feature branch into the deployed branch, while only a few files were changed. But I don't think it's Jenkins' fault though.
"Got mine" generation is definitely part of it, but demanding N% returns from an economy that has GDP growth of (N/2)% (and a lot of that just paper wealth from the finance industry) is the more proximate cause.
It seems like the barriers for becoming an expat are lower now than what they were in the 20th century.

There are plenty of online expat communities. You can find maps, living arrangements, and machine translation all online

In general, the internet has made it so that people are a lot less dependent on their immediate community. So in the future, if the government starts making a bunch of hostile demands and tries to draft people, I'm not sure if that will be as effective as what it once was historically
> we have a print of the poster on our lab's wall

That's amazing - you made my day with that statement.

I left neuroscience for the software world back in 2012, so I don't have a lot of data points since then. I know between 2009 and 2012 the field went from ~50% of papers doing the right statistical corrections to about ~90%, which is a huge step in the right direction. I hope those numbers are even better today.

The expense of MRI time means that studies include far fewer subjects than they might want/need. My opinion is that there are still significant challenges that go beyond correction for multiple comparisons, like data peeking and low-power experimental designs. I think that we should move to a mindset where we need replication and convergent evidence for major claims. Not a single study with 18 college freshman participants.

Still use the same Brother laser AIO purchased in 2007, a printer in 2006 and a Canon around the same time. They all work perfectly, only the rubber rollers on the double sided ADF had to be replaced.

I don’t have any phones still working of that vintage.

Not a perfect comparison but the argument is dumb because the item at issue is the printed product not the printer.

> Real estate, employer, board seats, private jet flights, yachts

Those are all way too expensive for regular folks.

> and the simplest, vacationing often to destinations you have to fly to.

That's too cheap to work as a status symbol for regular folks, plus provides all kinds of value (entertainment, relaxation, etc.) so it's not even a good way to burn money.

Regular folks show off by e.g. buying engagement rings that are multiple of the fiance's salary, or making other purchases whose defining characteristic is that others know it's expensive.

Jewelry, clothes and accessories are good for showing off because the more expensive ones aren't more useful or pretty at the margin. You're not buying utility for spending extra, other than that conferred by status games.

Care to elaborate your point? In this kind of topic there is always propaganda on both sides. Pointing the obvious is not contributing to the conversation in any way.
The thing is the car does probably exist somewhere - but it may be in their system, but allocated to someone (on paper only, because if they allocate it in the system it disappears from the website, but they want you to come in), or in transit (they appear on the website the moment the factory assigns a VIN build to the dealer, etc.

And sometimes I swear it's just a glitch and they don't really care.

So much trouble over creating, funding, and arming “freedom fighters”/“moderate rebels” to (unsuccessfully) take down Assad. I think I concur with Google TAG here. I think exposing and fixing zero days is better than not doing so, simply because other countries can find them also. Which this article openly acknowledges thus defeating its own argument
It could speed up other build systems, but the .NET build system (MSBuild) has a particular design issue where by default it will copy dependencies local to each project that's using them (Copy Local). This leads to assemblies being copied multiple times throughout the filesystem according to the build process.
If a printer is broken, you find that out much earlier, with time to address the fault before it becomes a crisis.

If someone is carrying their printer with them on their entire trip in order to print their boarding passes at the last possible second at the gate, that's... A different kind of problem.

This is clearly a novel research technique, and this article is about some of the earliest findings.

I think this quote illustrates well your perspective and the general perspective of hackers here. Apple users spend more on software because they're just so dumb and don't know how to compile their apps and set up a self-hosted solution.

I can only speak for myself, but I'm very happy to spend money on quality software that I need to solve real world problems, instead of suffering with low-quality FOSS or ad supported software just to save a few bucks. I prefer saving my headache instead, so that I can tinker because I choose to, not because I have to. I think most non-enterprise software customers think the same way. They want something to solve their needs and are fine to pay a fair price for that. So they buy Apple products and later iOS/MacOS software.

If other tech companies cared at all about their product and their customers, they would do the same as Apple. But it's easier to sell to enterprise clients and spy on free users to sell ads instead.
That seems unlikely. The movement of money is usually the other way: fuel taxes are not high enough to cover the expenses and it is made up from the general fund. It’s a huge subsidy for roads.
