You're not legally forfeiting rights as in the laws saying "you lose these rights", but in common parlance of course you are as you explain in your second paragraph.

If the default situation is that when you buy faulty goods you have legal recourse against the seller, but when you buy direct from a foreign country you do so knowing that should there be a problem you won't have that option, you are de facto forgoing, or forfeiting, those rights by choosing to make that purchase.

It's nothing specifically to do with China, but it's how things work (except/until between countries who agree to mutual protection of consumers rights, which I think is the case between EU member states but I'm not sure about any other examples).

That video crossed my path 2 days ago. As much as it';s terrifying, I can't help but be impressed by how fucking close William Gibson and Mike Pondsmith came in writing their background-lore for their respective cyberpunk universes.

The Corpos seizing power from a failing democracy, instigating war, and then declaring their own territories and power structures. From which the country, the world, never recovers.
Except they have dormitories with safety nets in India and Vietnam too.

The riot in India was because they weren't getting paid, not because of the work conditions.
Not happening. Getting significantly more than $100k is close to impossible in most careers in any other country and the dollar is the safest currency to get paid in. Not convinced the desperate folks who want to move despite these are good hires. Anecdotally the only people working any job at all outside of USA that I’ve met were doing that because of their non-US wives not liking it stateside. This isn’t a large group as you can imagine.
Those things certainly help, but as someone who actively maintains a lot of C++, I'll stand by my claim that even with those added tools, Rust is a very large upgrade in both productivity and correctness. I'm not claiming all C++ should be RIIR. But you won't find me starting any new projects in C++, unless compelled to do so.
But how do you expect officials that are so bad at transitioning professionally enough, to be good at maintaining and fostering an economy that will support this financial attractiveness?

That’s not exactly what happened. The article shows that an FAA employee leaked guidance on answering the biographical questionnaire to members of the NBCFAE. This wasn’t an official FAA policy but a rogue action.

Every candidate still had to pass the same rigorous training and certification process, which is extremely difficult and selective.
1. Current administration are wholly unfit for purpose; they have no clue about running a Government.

2. A dictator is now in place, with a subverted democratic system underneath (by subverted I mean deceived - enough people have bought into the lies that elections are now democratic in appearance only).

3. The judicial system is now in the way.

4. The judicial system is now going to be attacked.

I really hope this succeeds, because good people did good work to make it happen.
In France at least, Brexit made the idea of leaving the EU obsolete in political discourse, both on the left and far right.

But at the same time French media just repeated the “it's a clumsy handwave from an autistic dude” narrative after Musk's Nazi salute so I'm not sure it will work this time.
Deadlocks also don’t result in panics in most environments. The problem isn’t so much bugs - those can be found and fixed. The problem is more that no_panic in most languages implies no_alloc, and that eliminates most useful code

> I expect most native English speakers would be entirely incapable of fully specifying a complex application or anything else of similar complexity.

Your original postulation was that it simply wasn't possible, implying nobody could do it. The fact that most native English speakers wouldn't be able to do it doesn't mean nobody can do it.

I agree that most native English speakers wouldn't be able to write a reasonably complete spec in any type of language, not just because they lack the language skill, but because they simply wouldn't have the imagination and knowledge of what to create to begin with, let alone how to express it.
That's the thing everyone forget, Hitler was never a socialist, capital thrived under his reich.

Two of the features of Invites are sharing photos and sharing music. These are both locked down to users of Apple services (Photos and Music). So you can invite anyone, but those people won't be able to fully participate in your event.

There's nothing really wrong with Invites if you're happy to only have photos from people with iPhones or to let the music be exclusively chosen by Apple users, but you can't pretend it's a fair and equal system.
I hope it is a huge success. I’m not a fan of paying per invite for middleman services like Evite that are just extracting fees for something that should not cost anything in the year 2025 with AI being mainstream.

AI “agents” will soon to solve a lot of mundane tasks for us like creating and sending invites for free I hope.
When I was teen moving into adulthood, I couldn't understand why Pascal is being abandoned and people are moving into C and C++. I often think how would the software world look like if that did not happen. It's such a shame that we lost such a simple, yet productive language, in the commercial settings. And now we have Rust as the next winning choice, language even more complex than C++.
> "They"

they did not. in the case of tessier-levigne, who was responsible for getting him out of there? not the NIH. it was a fucking Stanford undergrad journalism student.

let that sink in. a heroically persistent undergrad had to do the job that the NIH was morally and legally obligated to do.

this "science is self correcting" trope needs to stop being propagated right now. and you can claim eventual self consistency if it resolves a hundred years from now, which would obviously be too little too late. how many people were hurt, how much research dollars were wasted in the meantime. "well, Eventually" is not good enough, and the self correcting slogan is just running cover for entreched interests in the face of their misdeeds.
They can ship via UPS, FedEx, DHL, or shipping container. From the news...

But that wasn’t your decision to make. Maybe your picture of the landlord is incomplete, and you act as the hot-headed, short-sighted teenager your are, instead of sitting down with mom to discuss the situation.
I guess the only option is everyone.
Good. The racism under the guise of DEI was insane.
Yeah, but it breaks down because Trump also knows that history, and knows that people want to compare him to Hitler, so he does a bunch of things that make the comparison harder.

At this point, adopting Western labor laws actually helps China. China is facing increasingly severe challenges caused by the distribution of wealth. Changing labor laws does not fix them all, but it likely helps.
> Why has there never been serious Western alternatives to JLCPCB, PCBWay, JLCCNC etc? Has anyone asked themselves how these Chinese firms are so cheap?

Of course we've asked ourselves that, we know the answers too! Manufacturing costs are so low, and the cost of shipping is so low.

I recently made contact with a manufacturer at a trade fair in Europe.

I was wanting a sample of their product, they had one at their stand - I had it in my hands - but due to time constraints we didn't have time to seal the deal on the day and I had to leave town.

So they ended up taking the item all the way back to Asia, and then a week or so later air-freighted it all the way back to Europe. Shipping cost was approx USD55, they shipped it out on a Friday, it was delivered on the Monday.
Exactly. We knew perfectly well it was coming, for decades, and we knew perfectly well the US would have put up a fight to prevent it. Not a competition, a fight: real and fake accusations, FUD, tariffs, or even actual war.

Now the time has come and we're in the middle of it. At least, I hope this is not just the beginning.
I agree that their aggression wasn't needed, but while this isn't a concert it is a grown up discussion space where we can see the word "fuck", spelled more than the first letter, without fainting!

Yeah but you don’t spend 10s of years of your life studying if your primary goal is just « more money ». The incentive is waaay too far.
Not just fear. Chaos, uncertainty, and cover for what I expect will be the biggest looting in history.

Even if someone thinks DEI had to go, they ought to be aware that their beliefs are being used as nothing but a smokescreen for unparalleled destruction and plunder.

> but IMO, it will become more popular than Rust

While I wish this were true, I very much doubt it, at least not until Zig has proper interfaces and gives up its weird hangup on anonymous functions. It's also extremely easy to effectively lose access to Zig features without cluttering your code. For example, say you want to use libevent in Zig: your event callbacks must use C calling conventions, meaning you lose access to try and errdefer, which are two of the most defining features of Zig. And while you can remedy this by having the callback invoke a Zig function, doing that just doubles every interaction between your Zig code and libevent, which is already cluttered because of the lack of anonymous functions.

These things aren't as important as compile times, but they are annoyances that will drive a non-zero amount of people away.
Francois Pinault is French, and inherited a family business, that’s quite an upstart.
Eh, that's not a unique set of strengths. In any European country I know about (at least a dozen) you can get all-English education from kindergarten to PhD. In some for free, in some that's paid, but probably not as expensive as in the US. Everything is really rather a matter of tradeoffs and bang-for-the buck rather than categorical differences. Some European passports offer more access, but without the downsides of the US one. The only matter in which I don't know how to compare is the racial issues, but I hear the US is not exactly free of those either.
I’ll leave it!
I actually think Biden/Harris are moderates, and tried to de-escalate things. Whereas Trump is anti-democracy and anti-rule-of-law.
There's additional boilerplate involved if you want your closures to keep their captured variables around beyond their original scope in the program; in Rust, that's implemented as a kind of shared ownership which involves Rc<> or Arc<>. FP languages rely on program-wide GC for this, which of course has significant overhead of its own.
Not just that. I also spent quite a bit of time curating what it focused on. The insights and ah-ha moments.

Well, it could be "just" naive hiring processes. It's pretty natural for people to use themselves and their immediate circles as thought guinea pigs for any process they come up with. And unfortunately, quite often, people in positions of power don't work their way up there, so it takes more effort than they are usually willing to invest to relate. Which is a shame, because doing things beyond what everybody else is doing can be a huge advantage.

One of the problems I see in big corporates is that feedback cycles for bad policy can be so long, whoever caused something is far away when the effects hit. AKA nobody really cares. But to be fair, I've always tried to care, and worked with many others who do.
The only way to find out if it will show them hot guys is by using it for a while, at which point they'll already have liked some normal guys. Who then reply to them and aren't all pickup artists and make them want to keep using this app instead of the one that only matches them with polygamous himbos.
Disagree. You are allowed to have agency. Mom would be proud of you for not wasting her money. If there is no crime, the landlord will be made whole. Maybe with a little interest at the prevailing rate.
Not at all. It’s that we experienced several times, first-hand, that some mentalities and mindsets systematically drive our societies to discord, war and death.

And to those mentalities… yes we ought to remind they’re not welcome.

If the basis of this move is that the USPS haven't figured out how to collect the tariffs on imports from China you would expect other couriers to be implementing the same measures very soon.
My prepaid mobile service is configured to auto-renew. The service provider messages me two times prior to renewal, something like three days before and the day before. The SMS contain details of how to change my payment settings, which is also the same place you remove your payment card / bank account details.

We also have legislation that provides warranty on electronic devices and household appliances, everything really, except things like cars and boats etc etc, for the reasonable lifetime of the product. So a cheap washing machine, three to five years would be reasonable, an expensive unit? I want that to last six to eight years. An expensive fridge, at least ten.

"Because the West has to actually follow environmental and safety regulations"

... that can only exist because they can circumvent them by offshoring all their production to the East and South. If they actually wanted to comply rather than bypass said regulations they would have to curb consumption for which there would not be support.
Also, a nonzero amount of people remember events like the Great Recession that were caused by the hubris of bankers.
(declaimer: I am from Hong Kong, and have worked on some import tax/declaration system)

Import tax and tariff relies on clear and accurate import declaration.

For DHL/FexEx imported package, you can fine them when the declaration isn't right.

For USPS imported package, you can't fine USPS -- they didn't know what's in package when it arrive. You can't fine Hong Kong Post or China Post, because they are not US entities. Rejecting parcel in bulk is one of the reasonable option if they can't get the shipper fill in the correct declaration form.

I used to think that too, but realized it’s very naive later in life. At some point people are good at what they do, but get tired, start a family, want to settle down. Money helps quite a bit to have those folks motivated.

If you want innovators, motivate them with rewards. Money is a great reward since you can turn it into mostly anything you’d like. Want to buy a mansion? Fine. Want to travel around the world? Feel free. Want to give it away to charity? Great!

At this point I no longer see significant reasons for majority of people to continue using Windows. Previous arguments such as gaming and exclusive Windows-only software have been largely resolved in Linux. Sure, there are some exclusives but they don't justify the massive differences in user share among operating systems.
I see what you're saying, but listening to partisan rhetoric on both sides here does not really get you any closer to the truth here.

If you were you were to look back at the political discourse in 1920s and 1930s Germany, you'd find extremely scathing critiques from the Nazis lobbied against the Social Democratic party. Did this mean that the two were equally bad?

While it's true that Biden's actions during his recent term were frequently called unconstitutional by the right – be it for trying to raise the minimum wage or forgiving student loan debt – it was rarely from a perspective of solidifying his executive power. In the case of the Trump v. United States, he was avowedly against how the ruling implicitly expanded his executive power.

On the flip side, Trump's openly pushing the expansion of his executive power with his firing inspectors general, overruling the senate by freezing funds and appointing his own pseudo-agencies that take control over independent agencies in the executive branch.

These are fundamentally different things, and should be treated very differently, even if people from either side complain about both.
Good. I'm glad to see moves that reduce market access for China, given there is little reciprocity. It's also worth hurting the Chinese economy for numerous other geopolitical reasons, including that the American economy can absorb disruptions like this a lot more easily at this time.

Good point. Capitalism's fundamental is RoI, and in China the time scale is "forever" while in the venture capital market it's 5 years max.
Yes China wants Taiwan.

Taiwan has been touting it's "Silicon Shield" defence for years and trying to tie China's self-interest with leaving Taiwan alone for now.

But the Silicon Shield is tumbling.

On the one side the US (the carrots of the CHIPS act under Biden, the stick of sanctions on Taiwan under Trump) is trying get sovereign control of chip production.

And on the other side China is ramping up getting sovereign control of it's own top-end production.

If both stay on course then China will have one less big reason not to invade, and the US will have one big reason less to defend.

Of course if China wins the 'race' then it could be to it's advantage to have a rocket exchange or invasion with Taiwan to choke of the West's supply of chips before the West has brought chip production home?
