You’re assuming that leaders of these countries are largely benevolent. They’re optimizing for their own interests. Bringing manufacturing into these countries will only introduce new competitors to their rule over time. Think of Saudi for instance, they can bring manufacturing and they import workforce if necessary from India , Africa, Asia and Europe but they won’t. They’re happy with the oil sector because that’s easy to control.
I would take inflation that can be managed over the alternative that could have happened had the government not intervened. However and if I understood things correctly, it appears that banks, financial entities and ultra rich individuals got money absolutely for free; no strings attached. The rest of the population got stimulus checks , asset prices appreciation followed by inflation which will eventually eat away any appreciation at best if not do more damage. I don’t think society will appreciate this deal in the long run. Desperate politicians and ideologues will exploit this imbalance.
There are books are “smooth” readings. Page-turner as they say. And then there are other books that one feels like one is wrestling with the author. An example of the first category for me is “The C Programming Language” it’s a great read, beautiful writing even if you’re not interested in C. An example of the second category is “The Power of Habit”. I couldn’t finish it. The parts that I read could have been said in a paragraph or two but that would have resulted in an article and not a book; no gain in that, is there, sometimes I wonder.
I am afraid that severe climate change might lead to a future with fewer or no borders. Not having borders isn't necessarily going to be great. Nationalism will not go away as long as there are humans. We may have different labels for it but the effect will be the same.
The two mentioned in the article met the FDA definition of remission. It doesn’t say, how many improved in general. This is important specifically since the sample size of the trial is small.
fascinating. He discovered hash tables after he released TurboPascal 1.0 and used them 2.0; https://youtu.be/K3qf8gRFESU?t=3265. So perhaps Anders of TurboPascal 1.0 can't pass certain leetcode challenges :)
I just ran this on a Fedora machine and connected to Windows using rdesktop. It works and it's amazing. I like it. The Internet will surely be confused today with a surge of traffic from Internet Explorer 5. Incidentally, google.com still loads and allows searching; bing.com does not load.
I don't trust the first release or the first disclosure. I expect Robinhood in the next few days to disclose that the exposure was wider and more serious than initially thought.
It also seems that they don't encrypt social security numbers and other sensitive data; I imagine if they did they would have mentioned it.
Their track record isn't that of a company to be trusted.
Premature optimization, perhaps. Don’t optimize by sending audio too early (as others have suggested) and why should I be able to add my own number to the conversation if I that number is the call’s initiator? Makes no sense.
Off-topic, on a reasonably fast connection on a machine with Intel i7 and 16 GB of RAM, this page loads slowly and scrolling is painfully slow and not smooth. No ad blocker because this is a new machine and new setup. Of course, I will add an ad blocker extension.
I get Http/1.1 Service Unavailable on first two requests.
I got 500 with the message "We're very sorry, but we're having trouble doing what you just asked us to do. Please give us another chance--click the Back button on your browser and try your request again. Or start from the beginning on our homepage.

As soon as I read the part where the author is hinting that Chrome uses user's browser history to deliver more relevant ads I thought the author either does not understand how the history feature work or he is being disingenuous. I've been using chrome for nearly 4 years without ever deleting history. The only slow pages that I've experienced are the non-English pages (Arabic in particular). They (non-English pages) are slow specially after an update.
