In this latest interview in the Open Questions series,Charles \u201cChas\u201d Freeman assesses<\/a> the history of China-US relations and where they might go from here amid their \u201cadversarial antagonism\u201d stage and as the US presidential election looms. Freeman interpreted<\/a> for then-president Richard Nixon during his historic 1972 Beijing trip to meet Mao Zedong. He has served in the US Foreign Service and state and defence departments and was US ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the 1991 Gulf war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It means database partitioning<\/a> \u2014 of worlds. Parallel worlds each running the same static template database source, but evolving different runtime databases. But these were just called \u201cservers\u201d \u2014 like, Meridian 59<\/em> had bunches of them, and they had numbers instead of the common practice of names that is in use today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new study by the University of St.Gallen (HSG) in collaboration with scientists from the University of Zurich and the University of Notre Dame reveals that the attractiveness<\/a> of female founders also plays an important role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freedom of navigation<\/a> is in the US Navy\u2019s DNA \u2013 now is a bad time for the world\u2019s most powerful navy to abandon that key principle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Francisco must REFUND the Police<\/a> not continue to DEFUND the Police. Our Police need to be empowered now \u2014 not this new terrible decision to end pretext stops. Our SFPD and Sheriffs and BART Police are the absolute key to a safe and clean San Francisco every day. SFPD must be returned to >2000 officers within 18 months from <1400 where it has been allowed to fall, and the police force must be fully empowered to enforce ALL laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exxon still expects fossil fuels to make up the majority<\/a> of energy market in 25 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly THE most prominent<\/a> pedo hunter is @LizCrokin . Here is story of her efforts to dig up dirt on The Donald\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By pulling<\/a> the plug on Constellation, Obama had unleashed the power of markets<\/a> and competition. While many associate competition with dog-eat-dog and survival of the fittest tropes<\/a>, competition is a healthy and productive force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, what the FDA has done\u2026 [is] unquestionably beyond its authority<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting fined by San Francisco for not removing crack head graffiti on our office door<\/a> is the most on brand slow ventures thing ever. I love it\u2026 and guess what, we aren’t gonna pay it just to see what happens\u2026 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free public api<\/a>: What really sets this site apart from all other API lists is that each API endpoint is tested once every 24 hours by our friendly robots to make sure it works. When our robots find an API that no longer works because it was taken down or moved behind a paywall, it will start ranking poorly and eventually be removed from the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Cohen says Canadians are consuming too much American news<\/a>, which he believes is \u201cunhealthy\u201d because of American legacy media\u2019s polarizing and partisan nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a stock element in narratives of 1950s computing to distinguish between programmers and coders<\/a>, the latter considered a \u201clowly technician\u201d doing the routine job of converting flowcharts or pseudo-instructions into coded machine instructions (for example, see Campbell-Kelly et al.4<\/a><\/sup> and Ensmenger7<\/a><\/sup>). This division of labor between coders and programmers is often overlaid with social distinctions of education and gender.7<\/a><\/sup> Researching the early uses of the words \u201cprogramming\u201d and \u201ccoding,\u201d5<\/a><\/sup>however, we were confronted with the near absence of evidence for this coder\/programmer distinction in practice<\/em>. While the activities of coding and programming can be more or less clearly distinguished, the activities did not map onto different jobs, but rather were performed by the same person(s). It thus seemed that the distinction between the coder and the programmer pertains not to the reality but to the mythology of early computing. It emerged in the wake of automatic programming in the 1950s, creating a discourse that has been influential until today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re on a quest to find the most beautiful word<\/a> in the English language. We’ll show you two words; choose the one you like the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experiences of staff in the Philippines\u2019 outsourcing industry are a preview of the challenges and choices<\/a> coming soon to white-collar workers around the globe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shake Shack, the Big Apple-based competitor to In-N-Out known for smash burgers, crinkle-cut fries and milkshakes<\/a>, announced that six California storefronts, including the only Oakland location, would close<\/a> by the end of next month. Ownership cited underperformance as the primary factor for the closures, according to Nation\u2019s Restaurant News<\/a>. Most locations will close around Los Angeles; the other three outposts to shutter are in Columbus, Ohio, and Houston, Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The principals are evidently quite proud of the bureaucracy<\/a> they have built. For my part, I have been doing research for 40 years in both industry and academia, and I have never seen anything as shambolic as this.  Since  I do not plan to spend the rest of my professional career playing these sorts of games, I decided enough was enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A deep-cover CIA officer spent years underground trying to infiltrate<\/a> Al Qaeda. But an investigation into his life, work, and death reveals mystery, moral quagmires, and the secret toll of the War on Terror<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asking<\/a> for 350 million friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Independence<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important silicon<\/a> in 2013\u2019s iPhone 5S, the A7 System-on-Chip (SoC) was made, not by Intel, but by Korean rival Samsung. The SoC contains the processor that runs user apps – the \u2018application processor\u2019 – and lots of other silicon powering graphics and much more. The SoC is almost always the most complex chip in a modern smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What books<\/a> should I read to improve as a software engineer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ford Motor told employees in an internal communication that it had taken \u201ca fresh look<\/a>\u201d at its DEI policies and practices over the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fascinating<\/a> and well reported story, but I\u2019m still baffled by the idea that any competent military or intelligence organization would use Telegram for secret comms. The vast majority of its traffic is sitting in plaintext on its servers. I\u2019d be stunned if the NSA isn\u2019t in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRC trade surplus is ~$100B per month now. That used to be recycled into US Treasuries, but China has stopped buying them<\/a>. Where is this money going now? Is some of recent Mag7 performance due to offshore buying linked to China? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs long as they can stand up and shuffle<\/a> they will get through. Then when the plane takes off, we see the misbehaviour. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to begrudge people having a drink. But we don\u2019t allow people to drink-drive, yet we keep putting them up in aircraft at 33,000 feet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In at least three instances in July and August, Oakland police sought to tow a Tesla into evidence<\/a> to obtain \u2014 via a second court order \u2014 its stored video. Officers cited the cars\u2019 \u201cSentry Mode\u201d feature, a system of cameras and sensors that records noise and movement around the vehicle when it is empty and locked, storing it in a USB drive in the glove box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I write this, we\u2019ve just heard news that Oprah is planning to do a big broadcast special about AI<\/a> and society. Despite the fact that it hasn\u2019t aired, and I haven\u2019t seen it or talked to anyone who\u2019s seen it, we can reliably predict many of the shortcomings that this show will have. And it didn\u2019t even take an AI chatbot to come up with this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All laws must be fully enforced<\/a>. Police must be fully funded. The DA’s office must prosecute to the fullest level of the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
