I guess I assumed reverse engineering was understood to mean explaining how a phenomenon actually occurred. They've recreated a similar outcome, but haven't given any evidence that it's related to what happened in Cuba.…
I’m not saying it’s minor apropos of nothing, I’m talking about it in relative terms to the consequences of the Gang of Four’s downfall.
I think we must have different understandings of what causes power struggles within leadership. The comparison to the 1953-1956 period in the USSR also feels a bit misplaced to me, as although there was a minor power…
This overlooks many changes that have occurred in the recent decades, such as the restructuring of the PLA (including their decoupling from state business), the development of the socialist market economy, and the…
The centralized, unitary structure of the Chinese government and the CPC make it unlikely that there will be a power struggle — there aren't many levers that would-be power players have to pull to achieve their goals…
What makes you think the setting is unrealistic? And why is it an issue that the housing looks pleasant? I’m sure it won’t look exactly like, but for the types of customers that are in the market for consistent 1.5 MWe…
Perhaps more notable than the headline is the more rapid decline in support for capitalism. Presumably, this is related to the 60-80% of people who have expressed disapproval of Congress in recent years and the widely…
Corporate means acting as a single body in this context, it’s not about business corporations.
> Using it as a reason to say "oh, but this other super power totally wouldn't do that" is at best naive and at worst shilling. That’s not what they said though. They made an argument that it’s against the interests of…
I don't think that's really true; in the original WWW proposal[1], Tim Berners-Lee specifically talks about using the web to build applications and he considered hypermedia applications to be only a matter of time and…
When Drew Houston first posted Dropbox on HN, BrandonM had the top comment that doubted its viability/usefulness as a product. It's been the topic of a lot of discussion since then, including between the two themselves.…
In my experience (startup product development), product requirements and constraints are constantly shifting in order to support new use cases. In my practice, that has translated into only formalizing specifications…
>For an experienced programmer eschewing conventions with this "resume", I am surprised by this comment. They only have about a year of full-time engineering experience, so they might not recognize this yet. (Not trying…
It is industrial work, and industrial work is not purely physical; even working in a modern factory often requires cognitive work. Tire production is a great example, and if you visit a Goodyear factory you will notice…
> I don't understand how we continually believe the governments know how to spend money better, HN is littered with examples of government projects that have been woefully inefficient with the money they've taken. This…
Many countries, including the US and UK, have indirect elections for high offices. Are they also non-democratic? Personally, my answer to that question is yes, but I’m willing to apply principles equally. Again, this is…
Any major city in the United States has all of these features
I'm not sure if this is sarcastic, but there quite literally is not a "free market based mechanism" to do this. If there were, there would not be the market failure that we can observe today. There are plenty of…
The answer is the same as it always was: you'll have "normal" libraries when somebody writes them (it could even be you). Most new application development relies on web servers, where JavaScript is very relevant and…
To make it more alarming, this news comes only a few months after reports of forced sterilization in migrant concentration camps[1]. [1]: https://www.npr.org/2020/09/18/914465793/ice-a-whistleblower...
Since it's true at least in orientation, they're probably not trolling
Minor in what sense? It’s still one of the largest in terms of industry revenue and viewership.
Historically, it’s been the task of intellectuals to try to take complex issues and make them understandable by non-experts. That’s how theory gets connected to practice in democractic societies.
Why would the Kushners be stifling right-wing voices?
>All this Germany bashing and his constant condescending remarks remove a tad of his credibility I think it’s the exact opposite. He’s speaking from the experience of being in the Eurogroup and negotiating directly with…
