India doesn't have slave, they have Dalits. They're much better because in the modern caste system, Dalits aren't people so treating them badly is ok. You can in perfectly good conscience deprive hundreds of millions of Dalits of drinkable water and functional waste removal since it's ok if their babies die of dysentery. They'll just make more anyway.

If you were ever against human rights violations and things like apartheid bothered you, you have to denounce modern India. I personally get nauseous thinking of how every time I spend money that makes its way to India, it supports a truly evil regime.

Whoa cowboy. Incel any?

People who behave like you just did aren't competing against women or any SJW or any corporate policy. You're just not employable. I'd suggest anger management training, but people who need that really are beyond fixing anyway.

I have never imagined a world where finding a job is difficult. I know as absolute fact I can show up at Sony, sit at a desk and ask for my paycheck next month. And yeh, middle-age cis white male. Same is true for a bunch of other companies. I'll share my secret... I make myself interesting to them and provide value to them. And I treat everyone as I want to be treated...

Hold up, I know you're thinking about that time you grabbed a girl a certain way because you want to be treated like that. I should have said "I treat everyone the way I'd want me to treat them if I were them".

Don't worry. It really isn't them. It's you!

I'm glad I could help.

Weird. While they can't really compete with the massive trailer park population of the US, I've always seen England as heavily populated by the lower classes. I even take hardship cases from England to help kids that can't afford it, to get an education. I treat their cases like I do my African students. England has a massive number of poor and very poorly educated people.

How can you consider the country rich?

P.S. They have the other extremes to. They generally compete with China, the US, and Germany for the most educated. But rich countries don't have the massive uneducated population England has.

Why would China invade Taiwan?

Depending on the statistic you choose, about half of Taiwan is anti-China, the other half isn't. China only needs to sway a small percentage of Taiwan to gain the needed support to unify. War is costly, ugly, and makes you look like a bully when you win.

Then there's the US who "Ordered Taiwan" to stop selling chips to certain customers. And the US bullies and controls Taiwan constantly.

But, the US is very smart, they are paying huge amounts to make it so they retain access to TSMC without Taiwan. They are even threatening the Taiwanese job market by moving the jobs which feed much of Taiwan to the US. This should also mean that if the US chose to, they could just hire the people from the US fabs to work for American companies.

In short, China won. No invasion needed. They only needed the US to take from Taiwan what they wanted and lose interest otherwise. Then the Taiwanese will turn pro-China and be the next Hong Kong.

Do you seriously think China has any interest in war when it's so much easier just to make an airplane or sub knowing the US will over-react and end up playing the fool?

Are you really?

Let me take a stab at waking you up.

The president elect considers childish name calling appropriate behavior. He also is the kind of person comfortable owning casinos which openly prey on the weak. And he started a trade war with China, a country with four times the resources of the US. But this is not the issue.

The US is at the highest risk possible. The "free press" has now, for the sake of garnering ratings has broken democracy. Yes, the vote was the vote, but the flock painted Washington red. If it went equally blue instead I would be just as upset.

The US worked because of constitutional laws that should have kept this from happening. One party is now almost strong enough to have a full supermajority in all branches of government. They do now have the power to gerrymander unrestrained.

I don't care which party is in control so long as their power is limited.

Now tell me. Do you feel safe with a person who calls his peers and colleagues ugly names in a position of nearly unrestrained power? Are you comfortable having a person who built institutions with no other purpose but to sucker fools into playing games guaranteed to take advantage of them power?

Yes, the dens are ugly too.

But you'll argue red or blue, good or evil, etc...

Why are you supporting a system which left you choosing red or blue and not a third or fourth color? Do you want America to fail? Because so far as I can tell, it really just did.

US submarines are probably strategically positioned near any plausible nuclear threat with the ability to reach the same targets much faster. These missiles are a fabulous waste.... Let's leave it there. They're a fabulous waste.

Also, you don't need to launch anything. If nukes are flying armed, may as well just detonate the arsenal on the ground and kill your own people quickly as a mercy an initiate hundreds or thousands of years of global nuclear winter for everyone else.

Not entirely true.

Fused Multiply and Add is technically a multiple operations executed in a single cycle.

But otherwise, agreed

Massive ingest of trillions of pieces of data is greatly flawed. It will never perform well since inference will be based purely on observation of non-interactive datasets. The training system could never verify its dataset, at least not on scale.
Now, take a swarm of robots in three sizes, child, pre-teen and young adult. Place them in schools, malls, airports, etc. Link them all to a single common training system. Make them interact with their environments. When a new piece of data that has a large impact on the model is encountered, make a group of the robots fact find and even post on forums asking for explanations.
I expect any AI trained in a way that allows it to confirm it's studies will perform far better than any AI simply blasted by data.

I read that book too.
1) There is of course auto-ip and proxy arp. This does the same as SLAAC before the DNS extension came to SLAAC. But, otherwise, I give you this one.
2) The IPv6 header is computationally more complex. Extensions are a nightmare. Only sales people would stick to that.
3) Integrated IPSEC sorta works, but Cisco made a mess of it. Microsoft sorta dropped it. TLS is just smarter.
4) Flow labels are great if you can trust them. But you can't. It lacks a means of signing them.
5) ND vs ARP over multicast is utterly brilliant and scoped multicast is genius. But it's 2024, we mostly replicast.
6) Fragmentation is back via an extension
7) PMTUD only works if the path doesn't change. Deterministic minimum packet size is good.

And yes, the guy is an idiot

Norway actually is special. The vast majority of the country actually follow laws like this without enforcement.

Symbian sucked. It required rewriting all your code to use a cleanup stack which basically was one of the crappiest C hacks in history. And every Symbian phone had a different UI toolkit that required at least recompiling, sometimes new ports. And Symbian devices never had enough CPU or RAM because some idiot thought that users would rather have a shit phone that didn't need to be charged daily. Never use Symbian as an example of anything other than the wrong way to do it.
Windows Mobile was a PDA OS that just never evolved into a phone OS, it required a pen or sharp fingernails. It was however the best mobile development experience for over a decade.
Windows Phone failed because Ballmer was a total moron. The moment he and Elop came out on stage wearing suits with sweat stained arm pit and geeked out on how cool Windows phone is, they guaranteed that no one with a sense of fashion would go near it. But what really killed it was that C# was the only way to program for the phone. Sure, Unity is C# friendly, but every app would have to be entirely rewritten for Windows phone. This would have potentially made Windows phone the most secure ever, but no one is ever going to invest in fully rewriting everything for a single platform. So the app store was nothing but porn and gambling.
Palm was a PDA OS, it was never anything else. Actually, PalmOS never even evolved to PDA, it was a PIM OS.
BlackBerry failed for many reasons. Mostly, they ignored the world market. They just didn't exist anywhere outside of the US and Canada. China, Russia, Africa, South America, the middle east and more are a huge market which Huawei will succeed in. BlackBerry was only available to a very small number of people. I never saw a Blackberry outside of the lab or on TV. Another major fail was selling it as a secure device. It wasn't.
Apple succeeded almost entirely because they're a fashion brand that makes tech. Oh, and releasing the first generally available multitouch phone with a fast CPU, lots of RAM and a web browser that was actually useable helped. And... it worked with iTunes. Nokia, the closest competitor at the time had the crappiest music experience imaginable. They couldn't even make a decent music store in Finland.
Android worked because it was the only commercially supported OS basically free for use on any phone (initially) so vendors LOVED. Google made their money from the customer. Of course, it's a crap deal for the phone maker since Google gets all the reoccurring income... Which is HUGE. But Google and Microsoft were the only companies that could ever have competed against Apple and Ballmer screwed that up on an unimaginable scale.

Huawei will compete in some markets without a problem. They will need to hire massive numbers of developers in Kenya to truly compete. This is due to English fluency. The HarmonyOS is currently poorly documented in English. Kenya is the only non-NATO country with decent English skills. So, making Kenya a major development hub for Harmony would be brilliant.

The constitution was designed for a tiny population by a group of poorly educated people jaded by poor prior leadership in a time where owning people was openly accepted and women were pin cushions and maids. Let's not forget the widely illiterate population and lack of mass communication. The greatest feature and flaw of the constitution was its promise and ability to evolve... which is no longer possible. When party politics made it impossible to alter the constitution, it became doctrine.

The US needs a new constitution. But it can never have one. And if the US ever gets a new constitution, it will be written by whoever wins the war to overthrow the old regime. So, it's highly likely it will be worse.

The spirit of the federation is great. But it didn't account for the industrial revolution. It simply couldn't work for 50 represented entities. And worse, DC, Puerto Rico and some smaller districts are unrepresented due to federalism and the constitution in the US being unsuited for a country the size of the US.

I am pointing out the problems, and if I ever think of or hear an interesting solution, I'll take pen to paper and become the American Tolstoy or Marx.

P.S. - the US is currently one of the most socialist countries in the world, yet by refusing to call it socialism, almost none of the socialist systems work and instead, we take millions of children from their homes when they turn 18, dress them in cute little costumes and try to brainwash their upbringings out of them while elevating their stations in life while teaching them to walk, talk, dress, bath, pay attention, follow direction and even lead. We feed, house and clothe them during this time. We manage their finances during this time and set aside certain savings that must be spent on needs rather than wants. We only require the children give the government legal right to imprison them and destroy any hope they have of a future if they don't commit to a minimum of two years. If we accepted that this is socialism, we could introduce systems that didn't require looking for someone to fight and selling this crazy North Korea style concept of "you're a hero if you dress in a costume and play war games to keep the fatherland safe from the enemies we're sure are out there. And if we can't find someone willing to fight us, we'll keep poking someone until they try to bite us".

Patents are a method for inventors to collect royalties when their inventions are used by others. When a patent holder refuses to license their technology to a competitor, it doesn't mean the competitor can't use it. It means the hold is refusing to accept payment.

The US required many western companies to refuse to license their technology to China therefore forfeiting their rights to collect payments. This allows Chinese companies to make competing products without the patent overhead which means their products can be possibly a quarter of the price of patent burdened tech.

Buy Chinese, I'm paying less for Chinese Enterprise SSD than US hard drives

I've been studying many universities and trade schools for a long time.

Universities with low admission rates and high graduation rates are the most likely to provide people worth hiring.

This is easy to understand too. Universities who discriminate against everyone but high achievers and only accept applicants who would succeed in no matter which school they attended end up with students who genuinely put the effort in and produce the output requested.

Also, attending elite institutions (when not in covid lockdown), your professional and personal networks end up with extremely strong and lucrative connections. Though, I personally would explicitly avoid hiring anyone who participated in the Greek system.

If you can't get into a top 50 (internationally) school, trade schools and apprenticeships are far better. The ROI just doesn't exist. There are exceptions, but the risk is too high. $100k in student debt is $8000 a year more that you need to earn to pay it off. Most jobs just don't justify paying that to get an employee who went to whichever school would let them in and graduates anyone who can get student funding.

The job of a software engineer is to constantly learn new skills and tools and apply them to solve problems.

Coders are tools software engineers use to pump out code.

So, an engineer is like the person who designed the car, the coder is the assembly line worker and the AI is the tool which makes it so we need 1/2 the engineers and 1/50th the assembly line workers
