> Most businesses require a local partner to operate in China

This, again, is a free speech issue. If your business truly have nothing to do with free speech (sorry, but iCloud and Microsoft 365 all had a free speech issue since they enable people to connect and publish), for example Amazon, no local partner is required. And Amazon has been there since forever.

Sometimes, even in a domain with free speech issue, you can have market access to China. For example, Steam is able to sell games in China since many years ago, even with their community page frequently blocked by GFW due to mostly unregulated user-generated content. They certainly can be cut-off: they rely on Alipay and WeChat Pay for payment. But this hasn't happened.

Oh, and Epic, GOG too.

> the capital requirements are incredibly high, corruption is through the roof, and when the local partner or the government rip you off, you absolutely will not have equal protection under the law.

While I indeed don't feel safe about the law protection. I wonder have you actually tried to setup a business in China? Or you are just repeating what you saw on Reddit?

Unfortunately, disabling IPv4 is not a viable option, unless you run IPv4 literal address translation layer (464XLAT on the server side and CLAT on the clients). Many sites still do not support IPv6, which is a great shame, but slowly but surely we’re getting there.

I tried 464XLAT on my home network, for the most part it worked flawlessy, aside from some IoT devices that don’t support v6 at all or are not LAT aware. So dual stack it is.

> I've seen many videos by finance youtubers going over the classic "buy a home vs invest the savings" and the dumb mistake that all of them make is assuming that the rent price will stay the same across the entire time frame considered.

> It's just not happening.

Buy versus rent is pretty complicated, and specific to each market and timeframe.

You are right that rents will increase over time, but so will the value of invested assets. While I cant speak to your youtube videos, it is not crazy to assume that the value of invested assets will increase at least as fast as rents.

Also, even if your mortgage payment is flat, that doesnt means housing expenses are flat. Taxes, insurance, and maintenance should be expected to regularly increase on property you own.
That's your own interpretation. Neither phrasing specifies the exact amount of contribution the subject had on the target. One phrasing is slightly more active in acknowledging that other contributions could exist, but still does not declare that other contributions must exist. The other phrasing does not preclude the potential of other things that also caused shortening.

It's all in your head, dude.

For synthesis, it’s mainly because there is a monopoly and the challenge (DNA assembly) is super boring in comparison to sexy things like DNA synthesis.

For robotics, it’s because Opentrons started scaling and needed to make more $$$ rather than staying small (fair to them, SoftBank dollars are attractive)

Generally speaking, biology is hard and uncertain, so the market isn’t as competitive as you’d imagine. Synthesis prices stagnated a little bit for a while in comparison to where they could be because Illumina didn’t have competition

WHO did in 2022

Kinda just wanted to say the same thing.

When I taught in London I gave the physics and sound part of a "game
design" course. The undergrads built their own game engine over three
years and used it to deliver their final project. They started out
with pong and ended up with a full 3D framework with lighting, sound,
physics, collisions and object managers. They had to sit through
lectures on space partitions, quaternions, graph theory, ray tracing,
audio DSP... those kids really went through the mill.

I guess a lot of those students went on to do great things, but around
2015 I noticed a shift where;

1) We couldn't get the recruits with the right maths backgrounds any
more. The kids just wanted to do more aesthetic design stuff.

2) Game companies seemed less interested in hiring them. I put that
down to a slump in the market, but looking back; the age of the
programmer-developer was over. Games engines became like commercial
operating systems. You either used Unreal or Unity and the closest to
programming you got was with middleware (blueprint and the like) which
was mostly template dataflow.
Agreed, that's why it's not good for production processes.

They experimented with it for a bit last year. I think Linus talked about it on the WAN show, and for a while LTT had it enabled on their channel.

It was essentially a 24/7 livestream which played from their back catalogue, with the ability to add "promo" segments in between videos, which they used for products on their merch store.

Seemed to dissapear around the same time the whole monoblock scandal and production shutdown happened last year, so I'm not sure if the YouTube experiment also concluded or if they turned it off during the shutdown.
> In other words, is there something specific about Rust's sum types that one is after in this example? Or just the concept of sum types.

I think, concretely, it's the fact that Rust's syntax is more intuitive to the average engineer than ML or Haskell. Maybe that's a failure of SWE education! But generally speaking, it's easier to explain what Rust does to someone who has taken a year or two of Java, C, or C++ than to explain ML to them.

Author mentions this, but there is really no point to use agile methods for such a project. Agile is not for task tracking.

With that said, if the project has uncertainty about what's wanted, UX is still researching or whatever, I'd still probably have dev-driven increments and demos to pin people down on making decisions. No external mgmt running that though.
It's funny how ignorance of the law isn't a valid excuse for me but it is for them.
QUIC/UDP and BBR is mostly a way for Google to grab more than its fair share of bandwidth during congestion, and will lead to a tragedy of the commons where people using less pushy congestion control protocols like CUBIC will be edged away.
I don't really think ordinary people who vote in general elections make much difference. They are basically randomly cherry picking things that the elites as a whole feed to them. Different elite interest groups compete with each other during election with whatever methods they can get away with. That said, it COULD make a difference if general citizens are knowledgeable and can stand against the system if needed -- which is definitely not the case for most developed countries -- again just my opinion, which could be wrong and biased.

The Chinese model is: OK we are going to keep calling ourselves the communist party, but we are going to grab every elites, and THEN we will have "inter-party democracy". How do you recognize an elite? It's easy: either you have a lot of money, or you are accepted into the top universities, or you have influence among the locals. Ordinary people don't even bother with voting (it's still there) because they accept the fact that general election is just a facade, and the party is going to assimilate most of the elites into it anyway -- you can't do much if you are not in. But inter-party democracy DOES exist and is a thing, and goes to the top level election, when the central committee votes for the Politburo members.

So basically, the core idea is:

- Do you assimilate capable people into the elites?

- Do you have relatively peaceful competitions among different elite interest groups?

- If there are systemic issues do you correct it in a relatively peaceful way?

Both US and China check for all of them.

And that's it. Ordinary people like you and me are not part of the elites so we are just resources, human resources.

What Tweens Get from Sephora and What They Get from Us
No; to characterize "exponential" as "fast-growing" is a misunderstanding of what I'm saying. "Faster than linear" would be a good descriptor.

> > there are others which allow x^2 to be described as "exponential".

> Those same definitions allow x1000 to be described as "exponential". (x1000000 would be "more exponential"!)

> If you're describing something as exponential, then either you're just saying "fast growing", or you're trying to describe the type of growth. If you're describing the type of growth, then neither x1000 nor x^2 is exponential. The fact that x^2 has an exponent in it is no more relevant than saying that x1000=x10^3 and x10^3 has an exponent in it.

I don't agree with this. These are categorically different.

In f(x)=x*1000, as x increases, the function's output increases linearly. The slope of the derivative is 0.

In f(x)=x^3, as x increases, the function's output increases more than linearly. The slope of the derivative is positive and linear.

In f(x)=3^x, as x increases, the function's output increases much more than linearly. The slope of the derivative is positive and is itself a function of x.

These are all categorically different, and refer to something different than "fast-growing". "Exponential" in the mathematical sense, means the derivative is a function of x. "Exponential" in the colloquial sense means that the derivative has a positive slope. "Fast growing" just means that the derivative is large, even if it is a constant.
Feel free to post this to the comment above mine as well that says “they stupidly pretended it was real”.

Dr Joshua Corso was the Senior Resident on duty the night of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, and had a photo of his trainers covered in blood go viral.

I saw him do a talk at an EMS conference a few years back that was both profoundly touching and deeply insightful, and talked about all the things you might not think of (at one point, there was a lot of banging from something nearby the ED, that made people think there was more shooting, and so they had locked it down further, which made some of the efforts more difficult (moving people from ED to theater, for example).

For me, Agile is a good idea implemented badly and subverted by the "business people" to hell and back.

Without going into details, I find its core methodology cool.

- You meet with the client, get an overview of the project

- Cobble together something in the given time

- Show the product-in-development, get the feedback from the client

- Rinse repeat until the product and the client needs are aligned

But from my experience the real-world implementation is meetings. More and more meetings. After a while client loses interest and basically leaves you to do something, which diverges from the real world need and solves an imaginary problem.

This happened so much that, I find my gorge rising whenever someone says "Oh we are using agile methodology"
Yes, I agree. Just pointing out that their worldview is not entirely dissonant with actual problems. Not saying it’s right.
Also, the surveillance is bad because of the inherent breach of privacy.
While Apple's ability to create "simple and brilliant" designs in the past can be attributed to the motivation and talent of their staff, I don't think you can say their current failure to do so implies the opposite. We live in a very different world. Computers are expected to do more and, regardless of how much Apple despises it, computers are expected to interact with other systems.

Just think of Hypercard. Many people here will talk about how great it was, and it was great. Yet the most talented developers and designers in the world couldn't recreate it in a form that is both simple and reflects the needs of the modern world. It would always end up lacking essential features or be burdened by an overabundance of functionality.

One should consider that Gemini will have a paid version "Gemini Advanced" [1] for phones and whenever one has a phone with free Gemini version, it will constantly be annoyingly reminding about and pushing to the paid Gemini usage. For some reason big tech decided that people want their AI assistants and force them on everybody including requesting to pay for their decision to invest in AI hardware. I really prefer not having AI, not having an AI chip in any of my devices, and not be bothered with AI intrusion into my life.

Very soon not having an AI integrated into a phone will be a very good positive differentiation for a phone or PC brand.

Ground Responses for Gemini Models
Probably because PostGIS is a separate project.
I think mostly the touch screen. Most devices I have seen or used (and those my mother has tried) need a fairly bulky case so fingers do not interfere with the screen around the edge (maybe software fixes already available). Holding the phone too gingerly for fear of breaking it also leads to drops. She is someone that payed $2-$3k for a brand new car.

Fine motor control is also an issue. Her fingers skip across the screen. Buttons on a flat screen seem to be conceptually troubling.

The flip phone she uses now is ok but there are way to many options. It is to easy to select them. She does well with the contact list except she did manage to block me the other day (a nice but extra option).

I am planning on going to a store and get her to try an iPhone and assistive touch but we are in a rural area so trips to such places don't happen a lot. I will be watching for someone with an iPhone (is touch assistant a setting or an app?).

The allegation isn't that they denied or never apologized for "Japan's actions in China/Korea". The allegation is that they don't acknowledge the Rape of Nanjing (or the crimes of Unit 731).

Imagine Germany had at numerous times apologized for WW2 and "the actions committed" without ever explicitly acknowledging the Holocaust, the mass murders in Poland and other annexed territories and so on.

Without explicitly acknowledging what Japan had done in Nanjing (or what Unit 731 had done as "experiments"), an apology means nothing. It's the difference between apologizing for a war and for the war crimes committed during that war. It implies that everything that happened can simply be paraphrased as "actions during wartime", which understates the extent of the heinousness of the crimes.

> So, how will the war begin? Who will begin it?

China will start it when they invade our ally Taiwan.

It would also, almost certainly involve a pre-emptive strike from china onto american forces. This would be because China knows that the only way to have even a chance of success is to strike first against the USA.

Maybe a politician will be elected in Taiwan that China really doesn't like. Maybe the decades long, existing trends will continue towards the Taiwanese people no longer thinking themselves as having any sort of chinese identity. Or maybe Xi will simply try to distract the population from problems at home with a foolish hopeless war. There are a lot of possibilities!

> How long has the US or its allies been planning

They aren't planning on starting a war. If China doesn't invade Taiwan, there will be no war.

But yes, the USA would absolutely defend Taiwan from an invasion, and already gives Taiwan weapons to do so.

I hope that some of the politicians in china will eventually learn how foolish such an invasion will be. Or, perhaps, China will simply saber rattle and do nothing like it has been sabre rattling for decades.

China has enough problems as it is, but there is still a chance that they will go off the deep end and invade our allies.

If that happens though, the USA will absolutely defend against such an invasion though.
