It used to be that you only had to declare the actual owner of a LLC purchasing a property if the value at sale was over, IIRC, $1.5 million. In NYC that's a typical 1-2 bedroom apartment.

They (Treasury Dept?) recently lowered that to $300K.

I'm far from an expert, but you can look at Sembcorp which was a joint effort by Singapore back in '96 with Vietnam to boost foreign manufacturing[0].

What's not really shown in the Wiki is that the VN government really protected and ensured smooth efforts for these projects. You can tell it worked because of how many follow on projects they did.

The counter is Sembcorp's Indo project[1] which is in the same wiki. At a conference I was lucky enough to listen to a Bain consultant who directly advised on these policies with the VN and ID government in the early 2000's, so a bit after they got going. The Indo government setup quite similar projects with Sembcorp as VN. The problems start because the project was setup with the "federal" government (country level), but local state government wanted their piece too and started "taxing" the raw materials coming in through their ports. Obviously this new tax wasn't part of the original program. Things like this, bribes, permits (more bribes), material blocking at ports (even more bribes), etc kept creating small but material roadblocks. Complaints to the central government were heard but not enough was done. Overtime, the foreign manufacturers got fed up dealing with local politics.

Bintan today is a shell of what it was expected to be in terms of its manufacturing powerhouse. It's mostly a resort town now for Singaporeans who want a weekend away.

VN has quite a bit of domestic problems in policy and corruption (they're rightfully working on it overall), but despite all that, it shows that you really can create foreign trust via policy that benefits the country greatly. Politics and trust very much go hand in hand.

>Large companies aren’t driven by opinion/ethics/politics except where there’s a branding incentive

The USA tech corps are falling in with Trump, presumably so as to get favourable tax situations and such. That makes them subject to his vagaries.

Surely, Trump might rug pull your IT services if you're competing with someone who gave him a bribe is a massive reason to move.

Companies need to operate under the rule of law which is now vacant in USA.

With threats, no matter how stupid, to invade allies. What are European companies going to do when Trump has their compute switched off? Or trade embargoes are put in place because Trump tried to takeover Greenland?

These seem to be real risks to business continuation that arise out of Trump's politics.
I don't know that much about it, thanks for telling me. I guess I thought TSMC was crucial in AI chips, and China was buying from them. But I see the "prohibition" against doing so may actually have the possibly "unintended" effect of making China more independent.

Anyway, nice username - hahah "aura return" what's that in reference to? Cool ring to it :)
I have not actually heard that argument. It has always been noted that Benz invented the car, and Ford invented the assembly line, for cars.
Well, the Wright brothers invented an aeroplane. Their most important contribution was the use of wing warping to allow the control of roll. Wing warping turned out to be less practical than the approach still used today: the aileron. A patent owned by the Wright's on wing warping caused a lot of pointless legal conflict and arguably slowed down the pace of innovation with respect to the problem[1].

These people feel that they are in the losing side of a win/lose situation.

So they are going for a lose/lose situation out of spiteness.

The solution is to always go for the win/win situation, even if it leads to smaller wins. It avoid building up resentment, that will always lead to a lose/lose situation.

If you're saying electric cars are pointless, and we should keep making ICE cars, because for a period of transition from ICE to EV some older ICE cars will go overseas, then I'm not sure there's much else to say. I disagree that that's good logic, I suppose.

Huh?

Trump won 49% of the vote in 2024, compared to Hillary's 48% in 2016.

The numbers go with the story perfectly. He didn't win a majority of the popular vote, but neither did Hilary. Trump did win a bigger share than she did though.
Because that wouldn't be the same charging structure? I don't understand what you mean.

Yeah, that's exactly it and the confusion/edit fits ;) If I'm not missing something those dedicated cloud servers are dedicated in that they are not shared ressources, but can otherwise be managed like the shared "droplets".

I was thinking that maybe the felt difference is in some additional services like block storage (though I think hetzner has a complete offering, without checking the details right now) or in the limitations of the scaling.

Hetzner also has real dedicated servers and sure, your explanation gets the difference there. I appreciate that you gave the comment a real reply in any case :)

In a limited way that covers something like 99.9% of CJS usage. Bundling is based on static analysis.

If by side effects you mean running code, not just declaring exports, ES6 import does these side effects too.

Thinking that CJS can't be used for static analysis or tree-shaking is the widest spread pure ignorance.

I usually think these types of comments don’t add anything and are often duplicative of what’s in the project documentation. But this project fully assumes you know what MCP is. Would be nice if they added a link to it in their readme.
>I doubt that specificity would be economically profitable.

It's be much easiser to setup a DNA catfish from a Tinder date if someone is that determined to get a decent sample from you. If it's not targeted, a door-to-door salesman can collect dozens over a day for use.

There's so many social engineering tricks to take advanadge of that you'd paralyze yourself trying to keep your DNA to yourself. Better to just petition for regulation at that point.
> thus earning U.S. money and making EU technologically and politically dependent from the U.S.

This came with a responsibility to provide military protection to the US via NATO. Trumps voters don't want America to be an empire, responsible for protecting a bunch of far-away places that don't share their values, that's why they called the movement "America first". Historically speaking being an empire generally turns out to be a terrible deal in the long term, with maintaining the empire eventually becoming too expensive and leading to collapse and reduced living standards back home, like happened to the Roman empire, and the British empire after WW2.

I'm not even going to beyond the intro. I have an idea:

Regicide as a sport.
Yes, exactly my view. I am not signed up to a side and feel no need to follow a particular set of views because they belong to a group I identity with.
encoding/json does not make liberal use of struct tags, it uses only one. It's also battle tested and lives in the standard library. I don't have faith in many other projects to get bug-prone reflection code right.
There is no honour among eugenicists. There's even an own Wikipedia page for fertility doctors who used their own sperm - with a long list of cases.
I don't believe any Western European search companies have their own search index, and Ecosia seems to currently have the best chance of growing into a real vertically integrated search provider, so I'm using them.
I used to feel somewhat more this way, but after studying more history as well as living through 40+ years of the tech and other revolutions I actually am now not so sure. Yes absolutely, environment makes a difference, but it also looks pretty clear that the raw tech can exist for something for a very, very long time without anyone putting the pieces together. And how the pieces come together can change the course of history as well. In a modern version of that, take rocketry. Cheap high cadence medium and heavy lift, including significant real (vs paper) reusability that improved the economics, is not something that only became possible in 2016 and then inevitable that anyone would do. We could have been going that way fairly shortly after Apollo, in a timeline where we pursued projects like Sea Dragon or Nova and focused on economics instead of the pork barrel boondoggle of the Space Shuttle. Skipping forward, the basic controls of fully automated vertical landing were directly demo'd in a real flying 1/3 scale test bed (though important to note not an orbital one) with the DC-X in 1993. Yet it would be 23 years before someone came around again.

So what Elon Musk and SpaceX ultimately invented is not something I think you can just dismiss as "might have been created a few years later [and] the consequence would have been small". A few decades isn't a small thing, but even a few years isn't necessarily small during most of modern history. A few years would have been a big deal for the US if Russia still had a monopoly on getting humans to space for example when they launched their full scale invasion. SpaceX has revolutionized satellite comms as well, again not because of any radical tech change but just because being have stupendous history changing amounts of raw mass and cadence to work with for cheap allows whole new approaches. Quoting Ars, last year SpaceX put 1.86 million kg into space, followed by China (164,000 kg) and Roscosmos (76,000). The closest US competitor was United Launch Alliance, at 29,000 kg. Now they've set a new light to follow and aren't slowing down.

You can find endless examples once you start looking, both for good and for ill (awesome tech that died on the vine). I don't think our paths are remotely as inevitable as it has become trendy to claim. It's perfectly reasonable to acknowledge that yes, of course everyone stands on the shoulders of giants. But that doesn't change the fact that doing that standing is hard work and can be key to actually changing the world.
No doubt there are some things that are hard to read in Rust. In the link posted everything seems very straightforward and should make sense if you know a c-like language.

> What do you get out of Next.js over vanilla React?

The biggest problem is that React itself recommends against using Vanilla React.

https://react.dev/learn/creating-a-react-app

> If you want to build a new app or website with React, we recommend starting with a framework.

This, frankly, is insane. The whole point of React was that it was this relatively lightweight UI library you could drop into pretty much any workflow.

The fact that the React docs themselves recommend against using the React library as a library is just mind boggling but also another instance in the long history of React devs being absolutely hostile to their users.

Reflection is slow and bug prone. Struct tags are widely considered in the Go community to be a nasty hack yet a necessary evil. They should be used at little as possible because if you mess them up you don't get a compile error, you get a runtime error.

You get that these studies aren't actually measuring pain, right? They're measuring things like "how the patient rates the pain on a scale of 1-10". The difference between a "genuine" placebo and a "psychological" placebo is not detectable in that data.

I understand MCP, the problem it solves, and why it seems a good idea ... but outside of toy applications, are they proving to be useful?

You're confusing the popular vote with electoral votes.

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 by a margin of almost 3 million[0].

But because states vote for President in the US through the electoral college, rather than people, Trump won the election with a slight majority of electoral votes. Hillary Clinton lost not because she was unpopular (she was, even in the most conservative estimate, about as popular as Trump,) but because she didn't campaign in the correct states.

Going into AI-assisted development, I thought this would be the winning strategy. I’ve since learned it’s not.

LLMs have a limited context window. It’s can’t hold a full moderately sized project in context, let alone the code of the referenced libraries. Some tools have documentation that exceed the context window.

So I’ve found that adding documentation and adding that to the context helps significantly. I even often let the AI tools generate my documentation where possible (and then manually edit).
For me and the tools I use, this has helped significantly.
That's a very narrow view on the topic.

There have been many cases over the last decades where European interest and opinions have been quite different from US foreign policy pushes, but European countries almost always yielded to US pressure, partly due to the close relationship, but more so due to the de-facto dependence.

If Europe becomes more self-reliant and builds up more notable and integrated military capabilities, it will also mean that the we will persue different goals
and prioritise our own strategic and economic interests, which sometimes might align with the US, but plenty of times will not.

It will bring about a marked decline of how much sway the US has.

There are tons of examples of unprofitable companies, with no visible prospect of ever becoming profitable, trading at increasingly-higher values. Every tech bubble has their share of these.
They're located in a country with relatively good privacy laws, they're big enough that I trust them to remain alive for the foreseeable future, they have relatively good uptime compared to other email providers, they're popular enough that they don't tend to land in spam filters, and their corporate structure makes them more immune to enshittification than other companies.

On the minus side, the way their email is set up means you can't easily use third-party email clients without using an intermediary tool (Proton Mail Bridge), and because email is encrypted at rest, their own email search is abysmal.

The developers of seL4 have been in funding hell for years. Most of their work was darpa research for remotely controlled drones. The US Military would very much like drones that can't be hacked.

For us Europeans it's a good thing. There have been sane people here in Europe who never wanted to be reliant on US subscription software etc., but who had no chance of getting their view through.

For the US though, this European reliance on what is in effect rubbish is great. Rubbish in return for cars and all sorts of sophisticated technology.

I don't like calling ad firms etc. 'tech'. Technology for me is things like new chemical processes, whatever TSMC is doing, etc. and the US does have that, but firms like Meta are not a big player outside of machine learning research.

A glib answer would be "depends if you consider sociopaths to be neurodevergent".

More seriously though : Most big companies these days teach some variation of a 4 quadrant personality model such as DISC or equivalent. Scientific validity of these aside, today there's a fairly broad acceptance in North America that leaders come in different types, each with strengths and weaknesses.

I was personally shocked how many executives around me, with extreme client relationship management and people skills, are some kind of neurodevergent. One thing I've observed, and others may disagree,is that they can be much better teachers. A person who is "born leader" will struggle how to convey their skillset to others. A person who on the other hand had to themselves learn these skills the hard way, can much more easily decompose and relate them.

My wife has jokingly been called the most neurotypical person in the world :-). She's extremely emotionally intelligent. She intuitively does things which I had to learn on a very rational, conscious, intentional level. She's better at people skills than I am, but wouldn't even know where to begin to teach them, it's just too "obvious" for her to do or say the right thing.

Anyhoo, my answer to your question is "absolutely yes, but it'll take dedicated hard work " :-)
