The comparison is not between US and China. I don't understand why people keep making that comparison when it's not at all apples-to-apples. It's featured in headlines constantly, but it's honestly a stick measuring contest. For starters, the US is a free economy and the China is a centrally planned one. There's significant chatter about China numbers being massaged to suit the state's narrative, leaving would-be investors extra cautious, whereas in the US data quality and availability is state-of-the-art.

The real questions are: can China deliver on long term expectations for its economy? Do the trends support the argument that it will become a leading developed economy? I don't think they do. If they don't, then is it an issue with the current economy plan that can be solved with a better plan or is it a systemic issue that can't be solved in the near to medium term? These are way more useful questions than "who's going to win the race?"

>> Low growth

> For 2024 prediction is 2.6% US and 4.8% China. I don't see how it's low compared to US.

China is growing slower than historically and slower than forecasts which were it at 5%. Look at this chart and tell me if it points a rosy picture or a problematic one: https://img.semafor.com/5378ad07f43bc81f65ab92ddc19ec5899dc9...

>> high unemployment

> 5.1% China vs 4.1% USA

Again, comparing China to China, it's generally increasing every year: https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/chn/chi...

Youth unemployment is basically skyrocketing: https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/chn/chi...

>> huge debt from infrastructure spending

> What do you mean by "huge" and compared to whom?

To answer in reverse: yes, the US also has a debt problem. That doesn't make the China problem less of an issue. The china debt crisis has been widely reported and is related to the other point about real estate. Those articles will definitely do a better job of explaining the issue than me, so here's just one: https://www.reuters.com/breakingviews/chinas-risky-answer-wa...

> There is a lot of wishful thinking on HN regarding the rivalry between China and the U.S

I'm arguing there's no rivalry. Different countries, different problems, different scales entirely. China is in dire straits and I don't expect it to recover before the crisis gets worse.
I would think that given the chargers are so expensive, they'd want to make them easy to pay to use.

I have a PHEV, so using a charger out and about is silly, but I've only managed to use one pay charger, and it was a lot harder than a gas pump. Even the free ones are hard to use. With the PHEV, the charged amounts are rather low, so I understand the desire to push stored value accounts, but really there should have been colaboration and portability, and at least chargers should have clear information on how to make them start. Go to some website and here's my name on the website. I've seen some that do, but many that don't.

Gas pumps aren't always easy either. I've had several cars where you have to hold it right or the pump stops, but I've never had much trouble giving them money. Also had fun when VW sent out anti-misfueling inserts for my TDI and I got to learn which diesel pumps had unleaded gasoline sized nozzles and which had leaded gasoline sized nozzles; before the insert, the car would take either, after only the leaded fuel size.
I can guarantee you, most of what the UK thinks it knows about the healthcare system is just parroting nonsense and stereotypes they’ve picked up online. OMG!!!111 “357 trillion gazillion pounds for a plaster for a cut finger!” Or, “It’s cheaper to rent a space shuttle from NASA to get to the hospital than call an ambulance!” All that exaggerated BS.

What’s even more staggering is that most people in the UK, many of whom haven’t been 100 miles out of their hometown, somehow have strong opinions on the US healthcare system.

Yes, the system can be predatory at times, no question. But let’s not jump to conclusions here. The murderer was clearly driven by some kind of ideology. We need to establish the facts first. That said, it’s highly likely insurance denied something—for him or for someone he cared about—and he hit a breaking point with nothing left to lose.

> the shareholders were running it as a cash cow all along

Those shareholders have seen an average dividend yield of 2.83% [1] in the past 5 years. In the meantime, the inflation rate has been 2.43%. And if you're about to say 'stock buybacks are more tax-efficient' the stock price is down 63% over that period.

If you think that's a cash cow, you should see what an amazing deal 5-year treasury bills are, with their jaw-dropping 4% return on investment.

The printer manufacturers' business models are tailored to the artificial regulatory environment they helped create, where it's illegal to modify hardware you purchased and own, and illegal to advertise products that are compatible with a competitor's product. (or you'd be saddling yourself with 6 figures of court costs, which may as well be the same thing)

Imagine if your power company lobbied to make it illegal to send electricity through third-party cables, and then gave away power for pennies (because "people would like to buy as cheap as possible"), but sold 3-foot extension cords for $139 each (because of "safety", "hackers", whatever). Would you be ok with your power company going through these contortions to support a pricing model not tied to reality?

An ever increasing amount of privacy. The ad industry will never be satisfied with the amount of data they collect now. They will always want more. This insatiable appetite for tracking and data represents a slow erosion of our privacy. Building unimaginable surveillance machinery for what? So that I might buy something online once every few years? It's casting an extremely large net to catch extremely small fries. The means do not justify the ends.

I think relevant, contextual ads are the best alternative. I'm more likely to eg buy something related to what I'm reading than I am to buy a mattress advertised to me across a million websites (a mattress that I've probably already bought I should add!). That doesn't require intense tracking and surveillance across the web. It just requires understanding the context in which the ads are placed. And it's essentially how marketing worked prior to digital advertising
Can address both IMO.
Thanks for the tip, I'll try to keep that in mind next time :)
I'm in the US and people are killed like this with startling regularity. I grew up in a school system where the former district administrator was shot in the head at point-blank range by an angry parent.
By that metric, all social media should be subject to transparency et al. regulation.

Meta, Google, Apple, and Microsoft's algorithms have similar reach.

The real issue here is that afaik no country ever figured out a good way to regulation election speech in a democracy, past social norms and economic realities.
In the UK I don’t really agree. I think that the minimum standard is fine. I think that the common standard for workers is too low, but I don’t think that this exists as a result of resource distribution as such but rather regulation, basically the Government prevents building housing which is slightly different as a problem, the rich would do it but they aren’t allowed.

If we had enough housing to go around basically every other problem would be irrelevant.

While the Court based this decision solely on the non-classified portion of the record, I found this quote to be very interesting:

>Notably, TikTok never squarely denies that it has ever manipulated content on the TikTok platform at the direction of the PRC.

The Court held that the law could satisfy strict scrutiny (regardless of whether or not it applies), which requires that the Government prove that the restriction furthers a compelling interest and less restrictive alternatives would not accomplish the Government's goals. That's a high, high bar, and most laws subject to it are found wanting.

I doubt that the Supreme Court is going to want to hear this case. The most interesting legal question for them to decide was whether the law is subject to strict or intermediate scrutiny, but that is off the table now that the D.C. Circuit says it doesn't matter because the law could satisfy either standard.

Yes, we also mostly landed on a section approach (tutorial in one section, explanation in another, etc.) versus page approach (tutorial on one page, explanation on another page, etc.). Perhaps the Diataxis site itself should provide guidance on when you might be better off with a section approach versus a page approach, or some other approach entirely. The idea of modes is very subtle. I don't think most Diataxis readers immediately grok it. I think many people assume that the site is recommending a page approach.

What I'm hinting at re: homepages and READMEs is that there's an art and science to index pages (I think of both READMEs and homepages as types of index pages). I'm not convinced that you can boil down index pages to just a mix of explanations, tutorials, references, and guides. I think it's a different type of content that's not really well-represented on the Diataxis map.
For those who want to see a really fascinating argument that has lasted for a while, about junk DNA, functional selection, data, and models of evolution, start at http://cryptogenomicon.org/encode-says-what.html and then https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822%281... and https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00575-x (unfortunately paywalled).

From what I can tell, ENCODE project collected a ton of data suggesting that large regions of DNA which are not under functional selection (to the extent that we can measure that) are actively transcribed. They released some press and papers suggesting this meant that "junk DNA was not actually junk", which led Eddy to have a rage fit and propose an experiment to support his beliefs.

From what I can tell, we still don't have a great explanation for why large regions of DNA that are not under apparent functional selection are constantly being transcribed and what evolutionary impact that has on organisms. Personally I think Eddy greatly overplayed his claims, depending on some historical details in genome analysis that probably are dated and missing critical new biology, but honestly, these are areas where the theories and data are so ambigious, you can construct any number of narratives explaining the observed results.

There were DDoS attacks targeting some state systems connected to the electoral process, that is factually correct, but it's not why the election was cancelled, that's because a candidate broke electoral law.
I stopped reading after this quote:
• Introverted leaders led more successful teams when intuitively handling large amounts of information.
• Intuitive leaders, in general, led more successful teams when they had to handle a lot of information.

"Introverted people tend to be more reflective, more introspective, they tend to be more observational than extroverted leaders," Sleesman said. "So pairing intuition with introversion tended to be very effective for team performance."

Did they actually measure people with the two traits combined, or are they just inferring that people with both traits will be better than people people with either trait alone?

This combined with another comment suggesting there are only about 200 captains at that base, casts serious doubt onto this result.
Do you want $77k/yr for a job with degree requirements at intel in an extremely high cost of living area or would you rather get well over $200k/yr at a competitor for the exact same job description.

The TikTok ban appears to have made it past the ads lobby.
I do not agree that WAL mode should be enabled by default. It can break things if used incorrectly.

https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol15/p3535-gaffney.pdf

“To accelerate searching the WAL, SQLite creates a WAL index in shared memory. This improves the performance of read transactions, but the use of shared memory requires that all readers must be on the same machine [and OS instance]. Thus, WAL mode does not work on a network filesystem.”

“It is not possible to change the page size after entering WAL mode.”

“In addition, WAL mode comes with the added complexity of checkpoint operations and additional files to store the WAL and the WAL index.”

https://www.sqlite.org/lang_attach.html

“SQLite does not guarantee ACID consistency with ATTACH DATABASE in WAL mode. “Transactions involving multiple attached databases are atomic, assuming that the main database is not ":memory:" and the journal_mode is not WAL. If the main database is ":memory:" or if the journal_mode is WAL, then transactions continue to be atomic within each individual database file. But if the host computer crashes in the middle of a COMMIT where two or more database files are updated, some of those files might get the changes where others might not.”

You are never not going to have some people who are unemployed. Don't mistake that for the idea that the economy is demand-constrained.

So for example if it responded with something like this to me, I would point out Clever Hans the trick horse that answered math questions was giving the specific answer the trainer provided, but an LLM is yielding well-structured content it was trained on that me the prompter is trying to get out that I haven’t seen before. I know what it does not look like and I know pieces of what it does. So no not the same.

Then the LLM would take this and redo its answer. Unlike internet strangers, who usually respond unhelpfully to adversarial exchanges because they tend to be too fixated, for my purposes, on finding ways to make their original answer right.
The reason people are voting for anti-EU candidates is that the "systems" have proving themselves completely untrustworthy.

> Why?: Prevents "database is locked" errors by giving SQLite 5 seconds to wait for a locked resource before returning an error, useful for handling multiple concurrent accesses.

Alongside that one of the most important things to do is to have strong read/write segregation: separate readonly and r/w pools, the latter having a single connection which is immediately set to BEGIN IMMEDIATE when it's borrowed out.

"The election will be re-run, likely with closer oversight over systems and social media" Except the opinions have already been formed based on whatever false information they have been fed. So without providing "true" facts, the new votes won't change much.
I wonder if it would work to do something like the punycode system for internationalized domain names.

The same homograph protections would probably work, as well.

The frontrunner was an independent candidate who claimed to have spent nothing on his campaign, asserting that it was entirely run by “volunteers.”

Romanian secret services, under the directive of the current president, released reports concluding that both state and non-state actors had been involved in manipulating public opinion.

The candidate holds extreme right-wing views aligned with Romanian neo-Nazi groups. He has repeatedly referred to Romanian Nazi leaders as heroes and has expressed admiration for Putin, calling him a hero as well. His speeches often included mystical elements and rejected modern medical science, denying the existence of viruses and questioning the effectiveness of chemotherapy for cancer. While he has made other controversial statements, I will leave it at that.
It's unclear if he will be allowed to participate again, due to his sympathy for the Iron Guard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Guard) which is outlawed, and some pending criminal cases for money laundering, as he reported 0 expenses in the election campaign, which is impossible.
