While trying the script, I am getting the following error -
<Trace> ReadWriteBufferFromHTTP: Failed to make request to 'https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/40298680.json'. Error: Timeout: connect timed out: 216.239.32.107:443. Failed at try 3/10. Will retry with current backoff wait is 200/10000 ms.
I googled with no luck. I was wondering if you have a solution for it.
"The difference is the extensive legal framework protecting Western citizens and companies from state security overreach."
Unfortunately, China is winning in the rest of the world for the same reason. While western citizens and companies are well protected, the West has intentionally kept the rest of the world vulnerable for self dirty interest. We have seen the Western hypocrisy in policies and moral codes destroying societies for decades all over the world. If the Western code of conducts for the rest of the world were hypocrisy free, Chinese slithering would have been impossible, and the world would be a lot better than it is now.
We have been following Singapore math for our kid since he was a little over five years old. We've found the concepts in this book series practical and workbooks enjoyable for the kid.
If solving problems create opportunities for new ventures, that is what the smart people should do instead of piggy backing on technologically stagnated big corporations. Developing countries may have significantly less quality of life in general, but there have always been a class of people enjoying life no less than anyone in the "first world", probably more. Simply put developing countries also need amazon, paypal, EV as they develop and adaption of long existing technology is more important than innovation there. So, entrepreneurs from technologically advance (and competitive) countries have even more opportunities to play bigger roles and create significant impact in a society.
From my history of long time loneliness, I have learned to cope with it by observing things that bring me out of my comfort zone in positive way. I found the following activities helping me-
1. Attending (and pushing myself to mingle) conference or workshop on topics of my interest and expertise.
2. Spend some time at the park or places where relaxed people are around you.
3. Learning wu shu or Tai chi from a good master. It not only helps to widen your physical capabilities, but also you get to interact with other people.
4.Challenge yourself with activities that you are able to fulfill, and enjoy. Volunteering for non-profit organization, hiking in the mountain, learning a new sports, even walking slowly, aimlessly in the market/mall helped me feel myself.
I wonder why India with population 1.3bn has only 145MB zipped footprint when USA with population a quarter of that has almost 1 GB? AFAIK, FB is huge in India.
This is a remarkable device. The configuration looks good as well. It reminds me of the primary concept of Microsoft Courier.
While going through pros and cons for considering a buy, I found no email client, messenger or a browser. For the targeted audience, at that price point, and with that hardware config, those features are unavoidable.
Thanks for excellent technical analysis! I personally enjoyed reading your article. However, to my knowledge, no decision maker is interested to learn the technical details. Don't we know already this tiktok is just in the US-China cross fire?
Our American friends are interested to teach our Chinese friends lessons by hitting hard on their public business faces. Never mind not talking about thousands of real state investments by Chinese people in US cities. Never mind, not talking about CCP atrocities on the Xinjiang people going way back at least 15 years (since when I am following).
It's not support for humanity, it's not about sudden urge for national security, it's about politics and populism.
Capitalism is driving the world, and it is setting the policies as per necessity, different ones in different countries. The west has stopped exporting democracy around the world since the cold war was won. Many countries have democratically elected government turned to autocratic/authoritarian regime.
Oh, "populism" is the new best friend of the rising powers.
Just out of curiosity- when Google is infamous for hard-to-reach human support, what in the Internet would make anyone interested to register their domain with them? Do they provide some sort of security or insurance that I am unaware of?
All the popular dedicated domain registrars I have used so far have excellent human support. Godaddy, namecheap, namesilo to name a few. I don't know if big companies or corporate use something more to secure their domain names and DNS, do they?
China has already bought the second (Russia) and third world (not in terms of wealth, rather actual third world) with the cheap variants of original technologies. Intellectual property is meaningless in this arena, and so is reasoning. Moreover, America has stopped streaming the "American dream", stopped winning "friends and allies", and is flexing muscles on the rest of the world.
I thought this war of the giants will remain paused for the rest of the covid-19 situation, however, it seems unlikely before some major causality. And Huawei seems to be in the center of the stage.
When someone talks about robots destroying the mankind, I start picturing scenes from movies or tv series (i.e. Terminator, iRobot, Westworld so on) where human like robots try to destroy the mankind.
Robots taking over the world may not be eminent. However, greedy people taking over the world with the help of robots and AI is already being facilitated for quite some time. Governments acquiring technology to hush the oppositions and free speech around the world is a common phenomena around the world. Usage of data along with AI to pinpoint, target and destroy enemies is being used for over a decade.
It is the usage of data and AI by the greedy community we need to be more concerned about, not silly imitation of life that barely perceives the world.
Then the website must be breaking on my side, even though I cannot see any error (neither in Safari, nor in Chrome), only a couple of warnings. This is good for GP to fix the issue, I guess.
