Foxconn is a Taiwanese company. China's revolution is about delivering for workers. I don't get where ppl are coming up with "slave labor" when it is American allies possibly operating in China's SEZ that are doing

Is that the entire story? If so the VCs are pretty dumb. If they kill pip, that means the people who were maintaining it disperse and forking it won't restore the ecosystem that was there before.

What is the deal with uv's ownership policy? I heard it might be VC backed. To my mind, that means killing pip and finding some kind of subscription revenue source which makes me uneasy. The only way to justify VC money is a plot to ta

By precise, I meant more the byte width (uint32_t vs uint64_t etc). The other kinds of types help you track what the purpose of something is, but don't really assist with correctness at the machine level. In my work, I have a lot of da

People are on the street because they don't have homes. If they had homes, they would be less depressed, less drug addicted, and less destitute and less likely to cause public problems. So just give them homes. A major upside: if you l

They did take econ 101. They simply know whose interests they serve: people who already own property.

This is very funny. The picture of Stalin and Yezhov was exactly what was going through my mind as an Apple Store sales guy explained the photo clean up feature to me. It felt rude to bring it up though.

Unlikely. If the precursors are being produced in China, it's just capitalism at work. They don't need to do this kind of stuff, their economic growth is double ours. They just need to mind their house and the world will change in

China doesn't want to be an opium den for western powers and have their economy underdeveloped by their firms. I think that's okay and it has been paying off. That's why China is able to develop its economy to superpower stat
