A shocking amount, and it’s well spent, because it literally underpins everything else. The stability it provides (or rather, provided in the past) is what made America so appealing to build and invest in in the first place.

Yeah and much of the revenue comes from abroad too. You could at least try to show a balanced view

The $25 number comes from Steve Bence, Nike's Program Director in Footwear Sourcing and Manufacturing. I would also take that number with a grain of salt, but another cited source, Sole Review, an independent sneaker review site, estimates that manufacturing a shoe that's $100 at retail shoe costs $22.

So those are the article's sources. What are yours?

I'm also curious about your claim about $8-12 shoes that are equivalent in quality, because while you can, indeed, buy very cheap shoes on Aliexpress etc, the quality or lack thereof is usually commensurate.
Can not agree more. The guy is dangerous. People who underestimated him have all to pay a heavy price.

> Funny you mention hotels, because I was in one in France not two weeks ago and it had the worst sockets I've ever seen.

My worst experience was in a hotel in the US, with the weight of my adapter and plug they just fell out of the socket. Luckily, for once Jesus saved me; the ubiquitous bible in the nightstand drawer was just the right size to prop up the adapter and I was able to charge my laptop!

Never had a problem with Schuko plugs falling out by themselves, FWIW, if anything the springs are often so tight you need two hands to pull it out so you don't wiggle the socket.

Interesting, my reaction to these photos was "no thank you". It's fun to have a glimpse at the past, but I have no desire to live back then.

In particular I'm happy to live in a modern, well-insulated home with climate control. Transportation is also a lot more convenient with cars, trains, and airplanes. And clothing and fashion of the day also looks very uncomfortable to me.

Some of the nature scenes look lovely. But there are still plenty of places in Japan where you can experience the same sense of natural beauty and solitude.
I remember logstash having a quite intuitive parser language, called grok I think, where recursive decent was built on top of regex. We should use something like that!
Manufacturing jobs in Asia (e.g. making shoes) have much higher churn than retail jobs in Asia. That shit is hard work, but well paid by local standards.

Manufacturing also requires young people. You can't work in a factory in your 40s. The west is demographically ill-suited for those jobs.
I've been in contract development business for 25 years and been through more than 100 client relationships. None of them ever had profit, and only a handful ever had revenue. So people should see this advice with a huge grain of salt. It may have worked for you, but for most people, nothing but immediate payment for work done will ever come through from any of their clients.
Debootstrap is for installing a minimal system into a dir from another running system (so only useful in the setup phase), whereas arch-chroot is used to access an already installed system (e.g. when booting off a USB stick to fix something). They're not the same thing. The debootstrap-like tool in arch is called pacstrap.
People should remember too that bankruptcy is always an option. Both for a business and an individual for that matter. That is, nobody in theory should want to stiff their employees, clients, contractors, etc. But the reality is that businesses run out of money all the time. The odds that a new venture will survive 5 years are not good. You try and get paid but it's normal that clients will go out of business or barely survive without paying (and little point going after them if there is no money. Since "Going after them" takes time and money.)

A whistleblower is not required to determine that Meta, and all adtech companies, have been severely damaging not just to the US, but to all governments and societies where these platforms are used. They don't need to collude with any adversarial government for this to be true.

The same tools built to manipulate people into buying things, are used to manipulate them into thinking and acting in ways that could be beneficial to someone. Advertising and propaganda use the same tactics, after all. When these tools are accessible to anyone, including political adversaries, it would be naive to think that they're not being used for information warfare.

The Cambridge Analytica leak was just the tip of the iceberg. These companies and agencies are still operating at a global scale, and business is booming. Why adtech companies weren't heavily investigated and regulated after this became public is beyond me. These are matters of national security, which anyone sane would consider more important than any financial or practical value they might have.

Banning TikTok was a step in the right direction, but that's far from the only service that needs to be heavily regulated. And even that decision is flip-flopped and very controversial, so the idea of going beyond must be unthinkable. Yet not doing so will lead to the eventual downfall of the US, and the current western hegemony. The instability we're seeing now is just the beginning, and my only hope is that it doesn't escalate to a major global conflict.
Would you defibrillate a functioning heart because of a perceived future fibrillation risk ?

I do not buy that the only answer to the recent incompetence of the US (and western in general) political system is to shock it with even more incompetence.
"Asia" is not about making shoes, but any company will manufacture where it makes the best economical sense. Currently if that's somewhere in Asia, so be it. It doesn't take anything away from Asian countries if they can offer lower labor rates. Some Asian countries are so big and has such staggering class differences that they might be able to continue offering cheap labor while being competitive in technology, because the people involved in both areas live in totally different ecosystems.
No, they're not. The Chinese have never been especially unified until very recently and they're internally quite diverse on all the key measures of ethnicity: their languages are mutually unintelligible, their religious belief systems span the entire breadth of world religions plus a wide spectrum of home grown ones, and their value systems are very different.

One China is a convenient fiction invented by an authoritarian regime, not a day to day reality on the ground.

Westerners buy into it through some combination of propaganda (coming from the Chinese state and our own, both of which benefit from an exaggerated sense of Chinese unity) and our inability to distinguish the various ethnic groups because we're overly fixated on skin color as the primary physical marker of ethnicity.
If they're selling on historical and folklore how much is that really pushing culture? Is Modern China the same culture as pre-revolution China? Friends, Seinfeld, Sex and the City had actual influence on people on a portrayal of modern New York. What's the equivalent show that has worldwide audiences interested in modern Chinese life.

Agreed! The Principles of Product Development Flow by Donald G. Reinertsen[1] is one of my favorite product management books because it's very conceptual, but man the concepts hit home fast. This summary has a lot of great details [2] and the third chapter is entirely dedicated to the properties of queues.

After, Little's law, he introduces the First Queue Size Control Principle (Q13): Controlling queue size rather than capacity utilization offers a more effective way to manage cycle time and process efficiency. — No mister business stakeholder, adding items to the dev team's to-do list and making sure they are working 110% isn't going to get stuff delivered faster.

Diffusion Principle (Q15): Random processes can lead to queues spinning out of control; these high-queue states can last long and cause significant economic damage. — No mister business stakeholder, we can't fix this one little thing right now, it's bigger than you think and is going to make it harder to deliver the big important project.

GP is being a realist. Just because it says "universal" in the name doesn't actually constrain the whims of the state.
Flying Hamas flags, saying "From the river to the sea", and calling for intifada are all antisemitic, not anti-Israel.

Being anti-Zionist - but only to the Jews in Israel, and not the Arabs, is also antisemitic (and racist).
People on the RIGHT want to see this. The younger cohort of republican voters were HAPPY to see the stock portfolios and retirement savings burn up in a puff of smoke, because at least now older cohorts knew their pain.

> President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday night directing the Justice Department to investigate former top cybersecurity official Chris Krebs and mandating the head of every relevant federal agency revoke his security clearance.

Who falsely claimed that Biden "weaponized" the DOJ? In fact, Biden nominated a milquetoast Chamberlain, most of whose work was undone in one day.

Because students wouldn't do the homework and would fail the quizzes. Students need to be pressured into learning and grades for doing the practice are a way. Don't pretend many students are self-motivated enough to follow the lecturer's instructions when there's no grade in it and insisting that "trust me, you won't learn if you don't do it".

The writing will improve too.

I actually don’t get what happened with Hong Kong. Stuff was good then it went bad. But in general it’s expected that stuff will be bad. Generally writing and story telling is the hardest to improve while production and special effects are easier.

The great story telling from China comes from its mythology and I feel China hasn’t yet found a method to depict this on screen without being too cheesy, fakeish or over the top.

I think this is why animation and video games work here temporarily. China will eventually get its act together.

It is not the "policy of this country" you need to actually read how things work, what bodies have what power, and who is doing what.

None. There’s no equivalent Chinese show. Just like how a while back there was no equivalent industry. It will get there. Follow the trendlines of all the industries and if it matches what happened with the entire manufacturing industry, solar industry, and various other industries it will eventually surpass the US. Right now it’s quickly becoming on par with a lot of stuff in the west. Eventually it will surpass the west.

But you also have to note there’s a shit ton of propaganda against China. I’m not even sure where it comes from given that we have freedom of press. you likely have no interest in the good stuff coming out of China likely because you don’t even know about it.

Think of it like this. You probably don’t think of BYD at all. Most Americans don’t. But to the rest of the world it’s a superior car to Tesla. And cheaper. It’s like Americans have some propaganda veil pulled over their eyes and I have no idea where it’s from. This absence of consideration of BYD is very similar to what Americans think of China. It’s just a very inaccurate perspective and full of holes.

Also a side note. Nobody inside China or Asia really gives a shit about Seinfeld, Sex and the city or friends. I love Seinfeld and friends but that's because I'm American. Outside of this culture those shows are just garbage. You need to look at the things with true world wide appeal across all cultures. Something like Avengers End game, which was an international phenomenon. (I know there's a lot of snobbish types who don't like it and I can understand why as it's not very sophisticated and it is a little too popular)

Anyway, China has yet to have something like Avengers End game. Or Star wars even. But out of all the countries in the world, it has the most chance of producing something on par with what America has done.
> The goal should be to minimize reconstruction error of excluded facts.

I agree that the job of an investigative reporter is to minimize reconstruction error of excluded facts.

The above is not investigative reporting, it is simply news reporting. Emotive speculation and nudging should be kept to a minimum, preferably not included at all to prevent the emotional speculation the second option is nudging people toward (it is not trying minimize reconstruction error of excluded facts, as all the facts of a crime at the time of reporting on an arrest are not known).

Using the second one for news reporting is polluting the jury pool by stirring up emotions before facts of an investigation are presented.
> many of the most anti-Zionist people are... Orthodox Jew

There's like 6 of them, and they are called Neturei Karta. The other several million Orthodox Jews do not share their views.

On top of that they are only against having a specifically Jewish government (they refuse to vote), but they do NOT agree with not allowing Jews to live in Israel.
Ask the LLM to create plans and step by step guides then!
Absolutely. More generally, as a taxpayer, I'm very unlikely to vote for anything that is justified in terms of how great the USSR was. One of several comments in this thread that give away the game: scratch a UBI bro, find a commie.

That isn't how the IRS defines it though. Essentially anytime software is being "developed" they will let you classify it as "R&D" (well you can claim the 174 R&D expense deduction but not the R&D Tax Credit under Section 41 which requires activities closer to what you describe).

> Section 5 of Rev. Proc. 2000-50 provides, “The costs of developing computer software (whether or not the particular software is patented or copyrighted) in many respects so closely resemble the kind of research and experimental expenditures that fall within the purview of section 174 as to warrant similar accounting treatment.” As a result, “the Service will not disturb a taxpayer’s treatment of costs paid or incurred in developing software for any particular project, either for the taxpayer’s own use or to be held by the taxpayer for sale or lease to others,” where the taxpayer either treated the costs as currently deductible expenses under former Sec. 174(a) or capitalized and amortized them under former Sec. 174(b) (id.).

Eh, wrong is too weak. I think you fully understand the false comparison you are making and how it influences public discourse

And no one is complaining about people who restrict themselves to that.

The issue is those people who want to completely dismantle the state of Israel and evict (or kill) all the Jewish inhabitants. They call themselves "anti-Zionists", but they are simply racists because they are fine with the Arab citizens of Israel.
Your child perhaps shouldn't learn things that computers can do. But they should learn something to make themselves more useful than every uneducated person. I'm not sure schools are doing much good anymore teaching redundant skills. Without any abilities beyond the default, they'll grow up to be poor. I don't know what that useful education is but I expect something sort of thinking skills, and perhaps even giant piles of knowledge to apply that thinking to.
> moving production to low cost environments just moves costs from business costs into external costs

[Citation needed]

Of course that can happen, but it's hardly guaranteed. If a company in the US moves a call center to a lower cost city, that's hardly foisting externalities onto anybody.

> The current market is centralized a lot more than people want to see or admit.

You completely misread their comment. They said central planning, as in, a command economy.
Intention can be nebulous and difficult to nail down, and can also be lied about. Purpose, as an answer to “Why is this happening?” is easier to reconcile by just looking at outcomes. In the particular instance that this thread is about, the purpose of dismantling a system that saves lives is semantically obvious.

For an analogy, if somebody is driving a car and slams on the brakes, the intention and the purpose of slamming on the brakes is obvious: to stop the car.

MacWhisper does realtime system-wide dictation on your local machine (among other things). Just a one-time fee for an app you download -- the way shareware is supposed to be. Of course it doesn't use MoE transcription with 6 models like Aqua Voice, but if you guys expect to be acquired by Apple (that is your exit strategy, right?), you're going to need better guarantees of privacy than "we don't log".
Y Combinator explained in Python (2019)
I love Advanced Voice Mode except it's so unreliable in my experience. I can't have more than a 5 minutes of conversation without it getting stuck and me having to restart it.

I believe it's partly due to it doing Whisper processing remotely (correct me if I'm wrong), which introduces lag and slows things down.

Gemini does voice processing locally through text-to-speech and voice conversations with Gemini are soo much smoother.

The downside is Gemini does much more poorly than ChatGPT at uncommon words and when I code switch between languages. ChatGPT is just excellent at understanding uncommon words and in different languages.
The only good Soviet art was the stuff that expressed the suffocating oppression of the communist regime and warned the world to never to do it again. Some of it was oblique, but all of it was human.

The other "No Pay, No Work" early career lesson is: Internships are a rip-off.

It's OK to accept lower compensation at the beginning, and it is always OK to do charity work if you want to help, but unpaid internships are never to your advantage in my opinion.
