I disagree. What we have seen is the absolute best possible case for China's command economy and I don't think that model will handle the current downturn, combined with Xi changing from a wild west environment to tight controls, combined with local government cutoff from their main source of funding which is new land leases. Have you seen the latest where China is requiring startup founders to personally guarantee profitability? China's highspeed rail isn't paying down it's debts yet alone setting aside funding for future large maintenance expenses.

(I hope this doesn't sound confrontational) Did we setup a universal healthcare system and fail? Did we intentionally start projects to build walkable cities and fail? I think Universal healthcare is a given at this point, we are reaching critical mass, but we need to actually do stuff to keep working to get there (including educating others in a way they can hear), not just complain or say we tried nothing and are all out of ideas. But not enacting specific things you or I want is very different from failing. I haven't seen the USA fail at those things, just not move in those directions. So lets put in the work, not spin out on the internet. I get so motivated in my local community. We lost our major employers but we've improved our downtown, added so much flowers/art/beauty, added walking/hiking/mountain biking/snow shoeing/cross country skiing trails. We have community gardens where you can go and grow your own food. Every year the people here make the town better instead of letting it go back which it easily could have.

Again I really like China and its people. I am so happy so many have been lifted out of poverty, I am ecstatic at their success even, it is something to celebrate. I look forward to us reaching a balance, just like 80s freaked out America reached a balance with juggernaut Japan that was going to own the entire USA.
I think it's a bit weird (but the author did the same thing) that the blame is put on regulators here for not being precise enough with language, and not companies are are happily exploiting the loophole for as long as they can. And if it does get repealed: great! companies win, tracking is back.

There seems to be a nuance missing here in most of this discussion.
Still used... Even modernized
I've come across a few websites that have cookie controls that don't do what they say they do when I manually examined them. E.g. still using analytics

Are there any tools to check websites to see that they do what they say they will do? Or is it a manual thing?
To me, Swift has better ergonomics for most people.

Ref counting by default makes most programs easier to deal with.

Guard let (though recently somewhat introduced in rust) are much more friendly ways to unwrap optionals.

Being able to provide parameter defaults and aliases.

Easy passing in of callbacks. Easier async.

Null chains with the Question mark operator.

I really like rust, but it’s much faster to get to a working program in Swift.

And with the new CXX interop, I now reach for Swift by default since I have to deal with a lot of C++ libraries.

I didn't say it did. Using abstract classes is not the goal. The goal is to free the domain model from the low level details. This can be done and these architecture patterns are supposed to achieve that. In other languages you use a lot of abstraction to achieve this. If this isn't how it's done in Rust then it would be good to know how it is done. I want the low level details to depend on the business logic, that's all. That means the business logic is clear and testable independent of any low level details.

Well, yesterday’s actions aren’t really gonna fix that situation for those 100,000 Israelis now though are they? It wasn’t designed to make that border region safer overnight because those rockets are going to keep coming even more often now.

Israel and Hezbollah have been at war since October 8, when Hezbollah started firing guided rockets at Israel.

Honestly, the Internet as a decentralized global network of computers suggests otherwise. There really shouldn't be any, or very few, datacenters, people should host their own stuff from their own machines, from their own homes.

Unfortunately, culture and technology took a different road.

It might be hard to look beyond status-quo, but it USED to be easy to _SEND_EMAIL_ from your own machine into the world, sure it came with problems, but they could be overcome.

It USED to be easy to host a website on your home computer, simply ask for a static ip, and forward a port or two on your router.

All of this was taken away from us in the holy name of convenience (and corporate greed).
> It’s a declaration of war on Lebanon

A few observations:

1. This is an attack against Hezbollah, not Lebanon. The two entities are tightly coupled, but they are not the same.

2. Israel and Hezbollah are already at war. 60,000 Israelis have been displaced because of Hezbollah ongoing rocket and missile attacks. Israel has retaliated in various ways.

TLDR: you can argue that this is an act of war against Hezbollah. But it is not a declaration of war, and it is not against Lebanon.

The let "let boys be childish" part and the overall psuedo-human tone kind of alarmed me. The random "hahas" littered around, seemed like a robot trying to be a human.

> micromanaging

He has a playbook/formula that works and all employees are solely focused on executing that vision. People have little operational ownership. In other words, employees don't have freedom in vision.

I even said it probably is necessary for the success of his business that employees don't have that freedom. I just would not enjoy working in a environment like that and I think employees (especially early ones) need to have that kind of operational freedom in startups (which is the context of my comment).
Good to know. That was basically the use case for it back in the day too. Multiple video streams.

I know it's not exactly the point, but the answer is you always have a lawyer if you're being questioned by the police, especially if you're not the one who called them. This is in no way specific to any DNA related situation. If any law enforcement shows up and has questions for you, you say nothing until you have a lawyer with you.
I gave up on this method because the system rejected every single photo attempt, even though I met all the requirements.

Ended up going to AAA for the photo and 10 minutes later at my local USPS my application was done.

I quite honestly spent less time doing it the old fashioned way than I’d spent trying the new online method.

Eventually I think this will be a useful method, but right now it was a real PITA for me.
I will certainly give it a try, because I am not 100% happy with SwiftScan anymore.

The biggest threat to these kinds of apps is getting bought by one of the big app boutique shops and being neglected.

I get the national security part, but not sure about world security part.

Why should I, as an example, who is neither a US citizen nor Taiwanese nor Chinese, should trust a chip being manufactured in the US vs. somewhere else?

Two things:
1) This is war. It's not pretty and it's never not messy.

2) This is precisely why every human, and every leader of humans, should avoid war at all costs. The image of a "clean" war is a myth. Even the Allies in WWII were not immune to this, see the bombing of Dresden[1].

Whatever you think of either side in this, it's clear that neither is doing enough to end this.

Wounded soldiers are often a bigger burden than killed ones. You neee to retrieve them, take care of them, and they may never be fight capable again. They are also a breathing reminder of the costs of war, and at the same time less likely to make others vow revenge.
Python has many issues that are quite clear when you operate at some kind of scale and need proper multiprocessing/multithreading support. And its not just the GIL, you get very unexpected behaviors when dealing with exit handlers and signal handlers in edge cases. Having seen what other languages look like it just doesn’t feel like a language that was designed well for running at scale.

The tooling has markedly improved though. Things like typing and compile time checks, great. But its also funny to me that some of the fastest tools for python are being built in rust (eg uv).
What's disgusting is all this hate in general.
I did, maybe one or two over some 12 years.

I've been friendly with most of my co-workers, but aside from the two above, I wouldn't consider any of them "friends". As in we'd never randomly hang out outside of after-work drinks.
I personally think (and I think the prevailing sentiment is) that giving early employees equity is crucial. There is no way I would do any work for an early stage startup (or, in general, if I can help it) with no stake in the company.

In bigger companies, it's a zero sum game. They don't really care about you because their scale makes it hard to identify who cares for them, so everything is just a business transaction.

> You still have access to vote absentee,

Most other countries allow their expatriate population to vote without this taxation requirement. Why should the US be different?

>as well as collect social security benefits.

Absolutely incorrect. The times I've lived abroad have not count towards my SSN contributions; I've had to make up for them after returning, in a sense. I now have to figure out how to collect a smattering of "social security equivalent" payments once I retire from a foreign country as a result.

> You can use US bank accounts and other institutions.

Actually, you're not supposed to in most cases, and most banks will basically force you out if they find out you're not in the US. Only a few brokerages will actually work with you (ibkr is best iirc, Schwab can also work). Pretending to "exist" at a relatives house for your bank may be living on borrowed time, though in practice it is possible to do for years if one leaves. Newcomers can't open a bank account with US citizenship if they're non residents (again, except for a few brokerages).

> You and your children have the right to return if you ever desire it.

Why should I pay for the option to do so? Why not do like every other country and pay if I actually exercise the option and return (and pay taxes)? Just like every other country (except Eritrea and North Korea, but do we want to be in the same camp as them?).
Nice, but kerning seems off. See for example word "Tails" in the article. a and i should be closer.
> Among the variables shaping the current numbers is the jump in the percentage of students who chose not to check the boxes for race and ethnicity on their applications. At Princeton, for instance, that number rose to 7.7 percent this year from just 1.8 percent last year. At Duke it rose to 11 percent from 5 percent. Universities may not know whether the “unknown” number includes more white and Asian American students.

Well that's pretty significant. And ironically, there could be a link between the increased focus on race in admissions and applicants "opting out," so to speak.
I'm fine with either approach if it's easy to know which one I'm using at a any particular call site. C# started the tradition of moving this information to the type level, far away from the call site. Swift has adopted this terrible idea.

The philosophy of making code look "clean" at the cost of hiding critical information in some far away place is the biggest mistake in programming language design. If code happens to look clean it should be the result of being simple rather than being cleansed for effect.

Other bad ideas in the same vein are computed properties and function builders.
The “told to implement a horrid solution” is the malicious compliance.

Personal experience? Not just me, but e.g. all the comments on HN on ChatGPT, Copilot, et al.?

I’ve been using it for about two years now to draft new code, after having programmed for two decades. It provides value to me in that some tasks that previously would take me a whole day now can be done in a couple of hours, maybe one hour of throwing ball with ChatGPT and then one hour of refactoring the code myself. I have plenty of colleagues who have similar experiences, especially when using it for tasks that can be “tricky to write but easy to verify” (e.g. visualizations).

Just keep in mind that (i) the paid version is miles ahead of the free version for coding, and (ii) using an AI assistant is like any other skill, it requires some training to learn what tasks they’re good at and how to talk to them.

Not all economic growth contributes to national security the same way. In particular, outsourcing a large share of your manufacturing to your primary geopolitical adversary is a poor strategy.
I hope people discuss using more precise terms. UN Security Council Resolution 1566 outlines what is generally considered as terrorism:

"criminal acts, including against civilians, committed with the intent to cause death or serious bodily injury, or taking of hostages, with the purpose to provoke a state of terror in the general public or in a group of persons or particular persons, intimidate a population or compel a government or an international organization to do or to abstain from doing any act."

Physically the attack was likely well targeted. It was shipped very recently, so it's likely only few of those beepers made into the public market.

However, the attack happened right in the middle of general population far away from the theater of war. This obviously intimidates and mentally damages innocent people living their normal lives. So it can be considered as a form of terrorism.

No government, especially those of developed countries, should be allowed to inflict harms on individuals, living in peace, in any form, whether physical or mental.
After many years of learning the absolute minimum amount of Vi I could get away with I decided to give Helix a try some months back, after feeling my VSCode setup was getting a little unwieldy.

I didn't really expect to stick with it, but within a few hours I was productive enough to keep going and was genuinely surprised by how much I liked using it.

But it turned out I was right - I didn't end up sticking with it

...but very much in the opposite way to what I'd imagined. Helix turned out to be the gateway to editing in the terminal. I loved it, but realised I wanted something a little more customizable than Helix currently offers (although it's so good you almost don't need to configure it!) And after a lot of thought I also concluded the sheer ubiquity of Vim bindings was probably going to offer a better investment of my time (for now at least). And so I've been happily using Neovim for some time now. If somebody had told me this is what my development setup would be a year or two ago, after a decade in Xcode, I 100% definitely would not have believed them.
Yes, but only if that number is a prime.
> The investment in factories is absolutely massive over the past few years.

The fascinating thing is people don't want to believe this. They'll make every excuse before admitting that it's true. They want to be in a declining empire when the reality is the opposite.
Nice!

Learning only happens through a mish-mash of Trial-and-Error, Trial-by-Fire, Questioning, Curiosity, Reading/Copying/Mimicking, Thinking, Reflecting and finally Doing. All of the above are needed in some measure.

The trick is to do the above without losing our self-confidence in ourselves (we are guaranteed to feel "stupid" during the learning process) that "we can grok it" at some level and over a period of time. The problem today is that there is so many aspects and so much to learn about any one thing that students are trying to move very fast to learn everything which is an impossibility; they need to ruthlessly cut down on all inessentials and learn to focus on only one or two core things i.e. "sift the wheat from the chaff".
Honestly just slept on the thing and the story seems even more surreal to me now.

How come they needed to replace their pagers AT ONCE recently? Has there been some great breakthrough in pager technology? I have a 5 year old phone and no desire to replace it for at least a couple years more.

How come everyone had the EXACT same model? Even if the Israelis didn't compromise it, even the most incompetent intelligence agency would notice somebody ordering thousands of an item with an usual order count of zero.

Anyone with a very basic knowledge of supply chain attacks knows you don't buy just one kind of item. If they bought fifty different kinds of pagers, this attack would've been impossible.

I'm sure even in benign cases, placing an order of thousands of items on some niche product causes a lead time of months/weeks. Never mind that the Israelis had to painstakingly modify every single one under the cloak of secrecy. Didn't that raise any flags?

And after they did order thousands of the same item, they didn't bother opening up even a single one?

Honestly I don't think incompetence could explain this, I'm 99% sure Hezbollah is compromised at a high level.
It worked pretty well for Apple, Google and Microsoft.

Presenting diversity as allowing weaker candidates to be chosen is a trope.
