comparing uber and etsy is dishonest at best.

The only freedom an uber contractor has is "when to work". All the pricing and trips are decided by uber, and they can't even reject properly. They are in fact an employees in everything but legal status.

In etsy, you choose your prices, what you sell, and even to whom you sell to, it's definitely a market place.

And with a relentless ethno-state dictatorship supporting those advances, it can get there even faster.

> Doesn't seem much of a threat to TSMC.

Now. It's still brain drain, and it's to boost their industry. Measures such as this do not exist in a vacuum, more will come.

You see, there is a big emotional difference in unplugging a network cable of a node, and see your cluster keep going and re-routing traffic compared to clicking on a "shut down VM" button.

These small emotional things end up making you more interested, and keeps you going in projects. It's the little things! After all this is just for playing around, if you wanted any performance, a single machine would give you more.

I would say that now it's a weird mix for power projection: Economic prowess and Military Strength, and Cultural Propagation

Africans had European colonies before Europeans had African colonies.

Carthage predates Rome, and Carthage had colonies all over Hiberia, which Rome later conquered.

Thanks for your comment. Quite interesting.

Also, people tend to forget that Africa is a huge continent, and drastically different from north to south. Specially with regards to the past.

Because it collapse still in the part of expanse. Other empires like roman was just like the british. In fact the definition of empire is the dominion of "second class" territories in virtue of the "first class".

The word slave actually comes from Slav

In Brazil's case, it was a colony for sugar extraction(and other farm products) and later gold extraction.

Sure, when oil extraction started, Brazil has not been a colony for a century but the extraction culture was there.

Still, without colonialism, Brazil wouldn't be a thing, there was pretty much no commerce there, unlike with some african areas

Nope, because only the brits surpassed the previous biggest empire, the mongols. And mongols did come with some advancements in tech as well, but also plenty of destruction.

you seem to miss the point, the Chinese companies were already winning by a large margin before the laws came into existence.

China already has concentration camps, heavy censorship, its a dictatorship and forcefully controls the population, and it's not just he "one child policy", its the sterilization of Uyghur men, and the forced marriage of their woman. All evidence points to china treating Uyghurs worse than Nazis treated Jews pre-war (Final solution was during WW2)

I the only difference between China and Nazi Germany from a human rights perspective, is that China hasn't declared any war.

Still, here in the west Nazis is the greatest evil ever, while China is complicated, and even some communist genociders are loved.

I'm not defending Nazis, I'm just staing that their evil is not unparalleled, and there exists a current nation that reeks of the same evil, and there doesn't seem to be a way to stop it.

Sure, the west is a mess with all the political tensions, but all that is just blinding to what is happening outside.

they pose smaller risk, as they sell data to china. But that can simply be outlawed with something like GDPR, without a big drama, unlike a ban

iPhone is a locked device. Nothing stops apple from actually not giving you that option for particular apps and you would know nothing about it.

does this means that attacking the starting king position will always put the king in check of the very first board? but, he can't really escape that

but you are just adding possible unfair/unethical things that might have happen. What about good things? The 1st seller was aware there was a big chance for the stock to grow, but was in need of liquidity for other ventures or needs. And the second buyer, know that it was bought much cheaply, but he is bullish on that stock. If the trade happened that means it was the best possible trade on those moments, but there will always be external factors because we are all humans, we all have different reasons, different needs and different experience and knowledge.

it's called patience and keep on investing. You only need to put 400$ every month into SP500 in order to reach retirement age with more than a million.

youtube android and earth are acquisitions, Cloud is nothing compared to its competition, GMail is almost 2 decades old.

In the last decade, I can't remember a single innovative google original product, or some copy-cat product that is better than the competition

and got people worrying about such generic things instead of the problem. It's not the fact that its hard or not, it's just yet another thing to keep in mind when you should be solving issues. Managing time is important, juniors no matter how smart, are juniors because they were not part of the industries before, they are getting the hang of having stuff in production and maintaining it, also managing time to ship, how much "generic" should the code be.

Go just makes you productive by removing lots of things to think about. I'm not saying that generics should or shouldn't be part of v1, I'm just saying that go lacking features to make juniors more productive is a feature

Some era adventure games were famous from simply being illogical. It's always nice having to pick up cat hair to make a fake mustache to impersonate someone that does not have a mustache.

A nice 3 page rant from 2000: http://www.oldmanmurray.com/features/77.html

Every weapon is bad in the arms of the enemy. I won't be cutting any hands because they can form fists.

yes, but it isn't false

Well, Haskell uses just a space.

you are forgetting the part where hospitals got overrun even with lockdowns.

and only one of those examples is before the publishing year

Completely disagree. Shame is a very potent society shaping factor. Without it humans wouldn't be as civilized.

So we should just use shame appropriately.
