The cynical read for “why wait until the last week” is to make China/US relations even more difficult for Biden. The Trump admin doesn’t have to deal with fallout.

They would play around with the definition of "commercialized". "Technically we offered it on sale for $500,000; nobody buys it so we've never made one, but it's still on the market!"

"But you’ve had civilizations rise and fall by a change in material strength by a decimal point, and now you’re talking about orders of magnitude." Does anyone know what he's referring to in this comment?

Why? If California is your norm, keep in mind that California has 20% of the U.S.'s homeless population (California, Texas, and Florida have 58% of the under-18 homeless population). It's really not a universal problem.

Sunk costs are sunk costs, and opportunity cost is very real. Don't sink more into it if you don't believe in the future of the product AND the team AND the company as a whole.

All the tech workers I know in the U.S. have very satisfying careers, but it depends on your metric and who you're talking to. Many of my Southeast Asian and Indian tech friends work hard to get to the U.S., and I don't see the reverse happ

Huge congrats to Jon and Tim! I worked with them in 2011 and it's an amazing team that I'd be honored to work with any day. Yahoo! is lucky to have them.

I question the idea that 90% of the U.S. has foreign ties, but your point (it's absurd) remains. Actually I'd really like to see how much of the population something like FISA actually applies to.

> I don't believe this was a Python problem or an issue of the Python community, it's a general issue plaguing technology. Obviously broader than the scope of this conversation, but let's not forget that /society/ is bad at this. You ca

This would backfire. The goal, I suppose, is that the Chinese government go after hackers in China more; but even if this happened on a mass scale, the Chinese government would /love/ for more services to be run domestically. They don't nee

I still haven't figured out if the general trend is up/down for LaTeX (I have a vested interest, CTO of SpanDeX.io, but I'm not sure). My argument against "give it another 10-20 years" is that LaTeX has already been around forever. I know p

I found LaTeXTemplates just a little over a year ago when I was looking for (shockingly) LaTeX templates, and it was /the only/ resource with decent usable templates (in terms of source readability and having actually-pretty templates). I'm

Co-founder of http://www.SpanDeX.io here, it's cool to see so much excitement around web-based LaTeX editing. As Henry mentioned, scaling sites like this is quite challenging as LaTeX wasn't really built for performance or scaling, but it
