In the US, most of those suppliers understand the nature of startups and are accustomed to working with them, fully aware they are likely to fail. The deals are structured appropriate for those realities and some suppliers specialize in or have a preference for startups.

In the UK, many suppliers still treat startups like an exotic beast, or worse, a corner shop. US business has a familiarity and comfort with startups, due in no small part from being an increasingly prominent part of the American business landscape since the Second World War. It is the water they swim in.
I wish Prusa weren't asleep at the wheel, then we would have bought a core one (that is, the hypothetical variant with large build volume and same quality as bambulab).

Instead, we bought a P1S, which is, technically speaking, a fantastic machine.
They could, but why would they want to? Consider:

* If ByteDance divests their US TikTok operations, they create a new competitor that could potentially out-compete them in other (non-US, non-Chinese) markets.

* Whatever amount of money they get for this divestiture would be much lower than what the business is worth to ByteDance (when your options are sell or shut down, potential buyers will not feel the need to bid high).

* ByteDance's US TikTok operations are certainly of non-financial value to the Chinese government. That value is likely orders of magnitude higher than their financial value to ByteDance. Selling that user base is probably not preferable to shutting down. Influence campaigns are certainly easier to run on a platform you own, but certainly those campaigns are already running on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Why add another platform that they can't control where they have to run influence campaigns?
To be fair Nvidia is the de-facto king of “planned obsolescence” and “remove features for no reason other than to force people to pay more $$$”. I think they’re even worse than Apple in this regard.

My favorite one of many examples of this is when Nvidia said “okay, fine, we’ll allow customers to enable G-Sync (adaptive refresh) on any display, but only 1000 series and newer GPUs!” No hardware limitation for this, they just didn’t want to give any 900-series holdouts a reason not to upgrade.

Then there’s the arbitrary lock on using consumer Nvidia GPUs in passthrough on a level 1 hypervisor. Sometimes there are unofficial workarounds but why do I have to go through that hassle at all? Ain’t nobody realistically going to buy consumer grade GPUs to throw in datacenter racks… but even if they were, so what? It’s their hardware, they bought it, let them use it. No reason whatsoever to block passthrough on consumer cards except $$$.
Yes! While writing my comment, this came to mind, but I couldn't clearly remember where it was from.

The UK cannot just "be Singapore". What happened in Singapore was a specific, unrepeatable combination of its geography, the needs of the region, the size of the country, and the culture.

To maintain its wealth today, Singapore relies on a large underclass of underpaid non-citizens. Around 40% of the country are non-citizens.

In addition, London sort of has its own Singapore(s) in the form of the City and Canary Wharf. That's great for those who work there, but it's not feasible for a country of nearly 70 million for everyone to just work in finance.

Final comment:

> Singapore did not depend on neighboring countries to climb out of 3rd world poverty

Singapore's wealth is built on trade and foreign investment. To assume that without other countries it would be equally successful is absurd.
I feel capitalism here is the problem, not the solution. The solution is file sharing (via BitTorrent & co), which is very much not capitalism.
If you're not used to the language, the conceptual models of the codebase you are working on, or you're working with obfuscated code. Otherwise it should be much faster to read and understand the code somebody else wrote than to write it from scratch?
Very interesting! Many years ago I implemented a mandatory access control system with complex access rules. In a similar fashion, I had to precompute authorisation, as it was just too damn slow to do it all on the fly. Not as complicated as yours, but same principle.

Thats the story they tell the world. They are just as inept, just as incompetent, but they had a free market engine that would pedal on, not because they enabled them but not handicapped them enough. Its more a incredible powerful horse (the Chinese people) saddled with a impossible useless drunk( the party) winning the race so far, while the drunk in the saddle brags loudly about what that horse can do. And now he decided to trade the horse in for booze.

You're lumping "not sure" in with "oppose the ban". You could just as easily lump "not sure" with "support the ban" and conclude that not banning it is deeply unpopular.

Detecting and mitigating CVE-2024-12084: rsync remote code execution
What's good about this article?

Or, "honest trade" (as a solution), I may say. I pay, I get files. I may pay more for higher grade files.

With this model, I legitimately paid for:

- Sidologie: A C64 game soundtrack tribute album, in lossless audio.
- OK COMPUTER NOT OK: Reissue of Radiohead's OK COMPUTER album, in 24 bit studio masters (post mastering).
- Too many albums from Bandcamp, in lossless form.
- Apple iTunes, in acceptable quality AAC files.

So it's possible, albeit less profitable (ERR_NOT_ENOUGH_VAL_XTRCT), so frowned upon.

BTW, I used to play in an orchestra, so making music/art is not like writing code. It's way more abstract and painful to create.

If your wife used to manage 60 people and now manages a third of that, it seems like her talent is being wasted NOW, not when she was in the UK.

I'll add that 70K is nothing to write home about in the US, especially if you're not in a low COL state.

The article is about people not going in the field that they're talented at, because it's low paid. Clearly it doesn't apply to your wife which is talented and went in the low paid field.
>Yes, there are advantages of a stable and well functioning systems

Current EU is definitely not a stable and well functioning system. Look at economic conditions, political outcomes, illegal immigration, wealth inequality, societal and political trust, homelessness rates, birth rates, free speech suppression, welfare austerity, etc Everything has been going downhill since the 2008 crash. It's a powder keg.

Transparency is great, but let's not forget that the point of switching to electricity is to be able to use renewables. We only have one nice planet to live on, and there are others who want to keep being able to live comfortably on it, I've heard. Oil/gas is a potent drug that is difficult to vane off of.

(Arguably solar/battery has the same problem as oil: let's dig and refine stuff from the ground, and not care about how to take care of the concentrated product once we're done with it. But to a much lesser extent.)
But we're not talking about obscene amounts of money. Just making enough to have some savings so you can do things like a career break or retire early is discouraged (and mostly impossible). Europe wants you to work, and keep working, forever.
I have also lived in both and I agree with you. The UK is a lot worse.

At least France has some things going for it, healthcare is still good, unemployment benefits are good, etc.

The UK has literally nothing to show for.
But it can be possible to have a license that allows you to run it at your own risk forever right? I mean, open source licenses do that, so you can make those and sell those as well. The 'support' being whatever updates happen to appear. Or the support is separately sold (again, like open source), so you pay once and for all year and you get updates forever, however, no support after 1 year; you can buy more. I have used support for downloadable paid products (turbo pascal, delphi, visual studio etc) in the past exactly 0 times, so not sure if support isn't just a check box for larger companies and they can buy it then yearly.
>Logic Pro iPad is a subscription

That's the exception that proves the rule, and it's not really that popular though. They're pushing it more than there's actual update, and I think it's more for the "wanna try a music app" crowd atm (than the 'DAW using crowd'), mostly due to the limitations of the iPad.
No it doesn't. I think this is a genuine example of an urban legend; many large employers, companies with deep pockets against whom employment lawyers would gladly take cases on contingency, very publicly administer IQ and general cognitive ability tests. There's nothing specifically risky about IQ; any employment fairness regime that proscribed Ravens Progressive Matrices would also proscribe the Wonderlic or CCAT test.

Griggs vs. Duke Power doesn't mention "IQ" even once --- but does specifically call out the Wonderlic.
Unique how? It's an Indo-European language, like many of the other languages spoken in Europe. There is also a proposal that Albanian is closely related to Greek and Armenian.

"Free enterprise" is a fantasy. We don't have that, pretty much never had. And I think that's a good thing. Free enterprise/free markets tend to monopolize and prey on workers and consumers.
Yeah, I think the co2 and o2 would diffuse in and out of the water below and eventually equalize, similar with how aquarium co2 indicator works.
The way I think about effectful computation and IO in Haskell is as a kind of enforced metaprogramming. The actual language comprises a strongly typed meta-layer used to assemble an imperative program from opaque primitives. Like all powerful metaprogramming systems, this allows doing things you cannot easily do in a first-order imperative language. On the other hand, this makes all the 99% of simple stuff you don't have to even think about in an imperative language necessarily roundabout, and imposes a steep learning curve. Which contributes to the empirical fact that not many people are rushing to use Haskell, the superior imperative language, in real-world projects.
Where does it say from ByteDance?
Steel-fabrication company literally can not care about anything because it's not a sentient being. Humans, who are related to this company and each other, already care about lot of stuff, including the output of said company and about how much they should care about that output. But that still is not philosophy, merely applied ethics in the sense that people are simply applying the ethical values they hold to the problems before them instead of contemplating which ethical values they should hold.
Yeah right, Reform AFD Rassemblement national Fratelli d'Italia and other risings stars have nothing to do with race and even if they do it's Americans behind it.

Everyone knows that Europeans are much more racist than Americans, it's just that we are much less explicit about it and its issues are different than the issues in the USA.
Most open source projects (you know, the thing GitHub claims to exist for) do pretty much exclusively use GitHub issues for issue tracking though. GitHub makes it pretty difficult to be on GitHub and not accept GitHub issues.
And it's common to do so.

Sounds potentially interesting, but I don't get the point yet. Could you elaborate please?
He means a safe wage job pays a third less in the UK than Germany.

Not sure if it's true so let's look at some stats:
Germany median for software engineer: €66,000
United kingdom median: €58,000

Note depending on source, these numbers both vary broadly within the same range, but with Germany salaries being about 10-15% higher on most sources, so nowhere near the figure claimed.
>Completely agree, the problem in Europe is not regulations or anything like that - it is a mindset issue.

You can change mindsets with regulations that reward taking risks in new businesses/innovations, and punish rent seeking and sitting on inherited real estate for example.

But as long as EUrope is focused on maintaining the status quo of boomers and gentrified dynasties of billionaires that you probably played against in Assassins' Creed, nothing will change.
> I've followed along with a lot of your posting on the Haskell discourse

Ah, that's great to know, thanks. It's rarely clear to me whether people read or are interested in what I say!

Well, yes, in principle even a design that is perfect according to some spec could be completely wrong if the spec needs to change. and impossible to tweak to match the new spec. This is true of any language or any system. This raises a few important questions:

1. How easy does a language make it to "unpaint" yourself from a corner?

In Haskell it's easier than in any other language I've experienced, due to its legendary refactoring experience. For example, if you "incorrectly" used the State monad and got stuck, you can wrap it up in an abstract type, change all the use sites, check that it still compiles and passes the tests, then change the definition to use new "uncornered" implementation, again check it compiles and passes the tests, then unwrap the abstract type (if you like, this stage is probably less important), then add the new feature supported by the new implementation.

2. How likely is it to paint yourself into a corner in the first place?

In Haskell, again, less likely than any other language I've experienced, because the constructs are so general. There is far more opportunity to tweak a design when you have general constructs to work with. (That said, I've met many Haskell behemoths that couldn't be easily tweaked so, particularly contorted type class hierarchies. I recommend not designing those.)

3. Why won't effectful or Bluefin lead to "corners"?

Because they're just Haskell's IO, wrapped up in a type system that gives fine-grained control over effect tracking. Anything you can do in Bluefin and effectful you can do in IO, and vice versa. So to really paint yourself into a corner with IO-based effect systems it would have to be something that you can't do in IO either, and at that point we're talking about something that can't be done in Haskell at all. So there's no real downside to using IO-based effect systems in that regard.
Is that necessarily true? Likely we know much more about the most highly developed societies so that's where we would more likely discover ancient writing.
Why is that such a big problem for you to understand that China is not the nazi germany and tik tok is not spreading dangerous ideas, it's simply less controlled by the US monopoly? (who are the nazi germany in this your little experiment)

But hey, you want an answer? of course I wouldn't be onboard with whoever is committing a genocide, just like I'm not on board with Israel and I boycott them and their products, as I am not onboard with the US foreign policy of the past 80 years (CIA was responsible for more than 90s changes of regime) and if it was for me US social networks would be banished in my Country.

I don't see many differences between the modern US and the nazi germany, besides the holocaust (which is not a small feat, I know, but hey, dangerous ideas are dangerous too)
I don't think the fediverse experience is poor, I rate it as superior to the walled gardens.

I don't pitch it to my friends because quantity invariably destroy quality, or at the very lease hide it behind a huge pile of dirt. I don't pitch it because people who are interested in a better internet already care and know how to find it. I don't want to ruin a nice well behaving network.

GP is arguing that exactly because there is no backlight, the contrast between on/off is uncomfortably high on modern screens compared to the CRTs where Windows 2/3 was running.

I agree. Most websites with a dark color scheme use a dark grey background and even off-white text.
I think we made a significant mistake when we moved to an Internet that is not paid for by the minute. It gave rise to all sorts of bad incentives for both producers and consumers. If every second spent online had a monetary cost, 90% of the problems of the internet would just vanish. Nobody would doomscroll, hardly anyone would spend their money trolling.

Somehow, time seems like it's free even though it actually is the only valuable thing we have.

To move to an Internet financed entirely by micropayments would be an amazing positive societal change, but I'm afraid we're past the point of no return. To fix this would require the infrastructure of the Internet to support this, but unfortunately the engineer types that actually decide on such things seem to see transfers of wealth as a total non-issue.

Exactly. I've spend a day in Albania, from Shkodër to ferry terminal in Durrës. Haven't seen a bunker, but easily saw 100s of gas stations. Almost none of them accept card, unfortunately.
PG was/is completely wrong. Twitter was supposed to be the new SMS, or text message protocol, but that never happened. RSS is an example of a protocol in that space. At best, Twitter was/is an API.

In a practical utility perspective Twitter was a pub/sub broadcast system in the social media space. It was slim, fast, and real time in a way the Facebook wasn’t, due to a 140 character limit. Yet, it never seemed to become more than 10% of Facebook and almost exclusively used only by people who were already heavy Facebook users.

I remember the optimism around Twitter in 2007 because it was immediately evident that it was addictive to certain personalities. Some people just had to broadcast absolutely everything they did, often irrationally. Most everyone else tried to find a use for Twitter but couldn’t. I know many early users that either abandoned or deleted their accounts before 2010.

Eventually it just became a text broadcast interface via their client. That is good for people who want to build a following, but nobody else found a use for it. In that regard YouTube is the Twitter replacement but YouTube had value otherwise that Twitter never could.

Ironically when we were living in Ireland and my daughter was going to have to wait 16 months to get a suspicious growth checked for cancer it was the UK that made it possible for us to go to a private clinic near Belfast and have her checked in a week. And it still wasn't even expensive. Free healthcare isn't actually free if you die waiting.
I get that you believe that's what's happening, but I can't imagine any US court agreeing with you.

The law (and the US constitution) does not guarantee any particular platform for your speech. It just guarantees that you can speak, and courts have interpreted that to mean that you need to have some reasonable platform, and that laws can't put an unreasonable burden on your ability to speak on some platform.

As an aside:

> Telling internet providers what servers they’re allowed to let my device access?

The law does not target internet providers at all. They are not required to block traffic to *.tiktok.com or any of their IP addresses.
Same. I grew up in Canada and my country didn't fund my dreams. The US did. It is a shame and the amount of loss that Canada has every single year because the dumb VCs who exist in Canada cannot look at that big picture.

For example, right now there is not a single VC in Canada who does large pre seed / seed investments based on an idea and the founding team.

In the US you can get a 1 million cheque within a week.

That is the real reason Canada is failing on a macro scale.
