American companies are required to comply with restrictions on the SDN list maintained by the treasury department.

The best thing said in the article is "Many people have been predicting a China crisis for a long time, and it has kept on not happening". Since China has a planned economy with a strong grip from the government, they could keep things going for a while. No planned economy has ever gotten so big

Some companies intentionally build a glassdoor reputation. I take it with a grain of salt. It has a similar business model to BBB, but not as bad yet.

A lot of them seem like experimental languages that nobody would actually use in production

Cold calling got it's name from that but generally people think of it as reaching out to someone to sell them something with no prior introduction.

> The business model of giving free service until people are hooked, and then monetizing the service by selling data has been a big part of the problem.

The way this was phased made me realize that by offering a free service funded by VC money, it squeezes the competition forcing them to reduce quality or go out of business. The monopolistic behavior to eliminate competition then increasing prices is not something that I saw before in many tech companies.

Passport has an RFID chip in it. State DL typically do not though.

Yea, I was wondering the same thing. Best I can figure it out from context and google is that there is a silicon valley monoculture and the OP is pointing out that in addition to similar ideas they have similar speech patterns

OPM breach was one of the worst things to happen to national security recently. They weren't pointing any fingers for a while, but suspected the Chinese to have something to do with it. It looks like they are a lot more sure now.

OPM asks applicants very personal questions to see if they are being honest. The leak included information on government employee's that have clearance about infidelity, drug use, debt, and other sensitive topics for people working in very sensitive positions. Also more benign stuff like every place they have ever lived and people they had contact with while living in those places. That information could be used in a lot of ways.

For the gulf coast, because of the way hurricanes rotate, the northern eastern side (or right side) always comes out worst. They get the most amount of fresh clouds coming from the warm water, while the south western end gets the clouds that had already expended a lot of energy overland.

It is crazy that this storm is putting the 1900 storm to shame.

I know a little about AI in the first starcraft. Writing the AI to use the same interface as humans is difficult. To lower the bar for more people to play around with it, the AI reads data from memory directly. This creates an imbalance that they try to balance out with extra rules like rate limiting.
