That is an absolute bombshell of a story and I'd guess that the vast majority of people have never heard of it but would be horrified if they did. It sounds like they even blackmailed the people.

Do you have any recommendations for gloves that dampen vibrations for bikers and are comfortable? Would something like Olympia motorcycle gloves with gel in them be a good choice?

You mention you have a lot of gloves - what are they all used for if you don't mind me asking?

But the article doesn't actually say that at all... It explicitly says the US didn't build such a capability in space.

This is so cool! Erik, would you mind posting some more pictures of your container office? It looks very Ex Machina like from the picture and I'd love to see more and maybe even learn how you did what you did with it if possible.

They are also arguing that since they have given up on security and assume they are fully compromised everyone else should give up as well and just buy more of these devices for their homes.

Where in the law is it required that the government must offer due process in relation to contractual business deals with corporations? Is 'due process' even the correct term for that type of thing? You seem to be conflating the government punishing someone for crimes without due process to convict that person of said crimes.

Yep, I'll just grab that from the CIA, NSA, FBI, and Australian Intelligence services for you. Should I assume you want it by today?

This might be the most absurd and rude statement all in one that I've seen on HN before. You're surprisingly aggressive and defensive on behalf of a Chinese multinational in your comments and don't actually seem to be interested in hearing the truth. Interesting.

Yes, people and organizations have come forward and said they have evidence. It's a simple google search away. You, similar to the OP, seem to be ignoring all of the many warnings from many organizations. If you think that intelligence agencies are going to show you, a random person, or the public the evidence directly I think you're not really aware of how they work. Why would they burn assets and methods to prove this when everyone agrees on it?

I would probably agree with you that attaining evidence of this spying would be somewhat easier for governments than for others. However, the rest of your assertion that these accusations are only due to geopolitics is pretty out there given it's almost universal at this point that people think Huawei are not on the up and up.

Hurtling accusations without any sort of supporting evidence is literally what you've just done. There's a ton of evidence out there to not use them.

Here are some pieces of evidence for you that literally were on page 1 and 2 of a search:

CIA, NSA, FBI just last year saying the US shouldn't use them: https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcochiappetta/2018/11/25/u-s-...

At least the US and Australian Intelligence services have hard evidence of them spying for the Chinese government: https://www.axios.com/report-australian-intelligence-know-hu... https://www.reuters.com/article/us-huawei-security/former-ci...

You're stating that they're being singled out for just doing business and that businesses are just afraid of losing money. You seem to be ignoring the trade secret theft, IP theft, multiple intelligence agencies investigating them and stating that their hardware shouldn't be used, practically being an arm of the Chinese military intelligence, and probably more I'm forgetting. Seems like a very disingenuous argument to be making...

That is wild. I've never heard of anything like that before with cars.

Where are you getting that people who own a Tesla sometimes are very generous and let strangers test drive their cars? I can't imagine a scenario where anyone would go for that given how expensive they are and how that kind of thing just doesn't happen with cars in general.

And there's also no reason to think this is the only thing they'll do. I don't think it takes a majority of 130,000 to setup a deal like this but more than likely some people in finance and some people in legal while on the tech side people are still doing 1000 other things.

How did you get that it is their main initiative for this year from this article? They have ~130,000 employees, so are you implying that a majority of 130,000 people are working on this main initiative over other things?

I'll be the first to say that Apple has not innovated much, if at all, over the past few years compared to other tech companies, but this seems a little hyperbolic.

Agreed, it would have to be phased in/out over time in a very smart way to not crush businesses and accountants. Doable perhaps over a long span of time if everyone agrees to it but man would it be a longshot. I'd imagine it would still have devastating second and third order consequences that aren't apparent until it's too late.

Just so you know the poverty line is $12k-$15k for single people and $25k-$31k for a family of 4.

Their idea has merit whether they've entered the work force or not. And, they could be anything that relates to students and yet not a student, like a teacher. I wouldn't infer much if anything from usernames... else you might assume that I'm a monkey and my thoughts on taxes should be ignored because I live in a jungle.

Or... you tax people that are rich more and it seems to solve your problem. Wiping the slate clean and starting tax law from scratch is not going to happen. It would cripple the economy and would affect every business and many people.

That massively massively penalizes people who are more poor or middle class vs someone that has millions or billions. 30% of a million is 333k, but 30% of 31k is 10.3k. I imagine losing that 10.3k hurts the 30k person far more than losing the 333k does to the person who is now making 667k.

Why would you want a flat tax for everyone above 30k?

The man is definitely not in the running for a 'tough son-of-a-bitch.' He has previously circled photos of his hands and sent them to people to prove how big his hands are. He bragged about his penis size at a debate. Just recently it came out that he has people photoshopping his body to make him look better and his fingers to make them longer. He has thrown many a tantrum when faced with reality and has cabinet meetings where people go around the room and praise him. None of these screams thick skin or toughness.

I'm curious what 'establishment' means to you and which part of the 'establishment' and the 'right' you think are still against him. He and the republicans have literally been in control of the entire federal government for 2 years up until a couple of weeks ago and it seems that the republicans are completely behind him.

The dossier has been almost entirely corroborated across the board. No parts of it have been proven incorrect so far. Do you have any evidence that any parts of it have been shot down as not factual?

Calling it the 'uncorroborated Steele dossier' is a talking point that has been proven to be a lie over and over. It seems that Buzzfeed New's publishing about the dossier is literally the type of 'real journalism' and 'legitimate news' that you're talking about because it has led to multiple investigations of some of the most influential people in the United States and has led to multiple indictments and guilty pleas, including the former National Security Advisor to the President of the United States. I haven't seen many '10 surprise diet secrets' articles doing the same. Have you?

Do you have evidence of specific competence at something?

It explicitly does not follow that Tesla HR did anything inappropriate or wrong because the wife of this man went on twitter. There's literally no evidence to show that.

I don't think what you're saying changes what I said at all. $200 is still a large amount of money for people, even if other trades force their employees to buy their tools. I don't see how that changes anything.

Is rendering the right word here? It doesn't feel like it is to me. I thought rendering was the final step in taking a DOM and turning it into something that is shown on the screen. Basically, the job of the browser. Based on your logic you're saying that before now rendering was happening on the server, but that doesn't make sense.

Edit: I thought about it and it seems like generating is the right word and rendering is still just something that happens on the client-side no matter what.

Yeah, it is completely missing me how web application dependency libraries relate in any way to an IDE for building applications. I don't get this argument and it doesn't seem to me like it makes sense. Perhaps I'm wrong and there's a connection I'm not seeing. Can anyone clarify this?

Yes, for some $200 is still a very non-trivial amount of money to spend on something. If your situation makes this a no-brainer for you, you're in a better spot than many that make 6 figures.

Hey stevev I know it's been a bit since you made this comment but could you provide further details on the tool and the benefits you found from the switch? I'm currently on Aurora MySQL and have hundreds of GB and am feeling it in a not great way. I'd love to get a feel for a path forward that could be better.

Thanks!

It's interesting that the OP is only responding to positive/glowing comments and ignoring the others even though some of the positive ones are the newest out of all the comments. Doesn't instill a lot of confidence in my opinion.

Edit: I'm curious OP if you read this what the comment in your profile means and what someone looking at your website should glean from it: '"I wish I had sexual relations with that man" - Bill, probably'

America is constantly targeted by their enemies, much like every country on earth. They don't kick back and take breaks when it comes to state-sponsored intelligence work. There has been real evidence of that going back forever. Are you working under the assumption that America has no enemies and no one is continually attacking it in different ways?

Your sane conclusion is that there's collective madness happening? Seems like a pretty large stretch of the imagination for that to be the sane conclusion, especially after doctors have studied it and said otherwise.

Your comments are extremely anti-American with just about 0 evidence to back any of it up. It comes off as a pretty out-there anti-American rant to be honest.

Really? For the most part, the government is pretty functional at all levels and while costs generally rise it seems like they do less so than compared to the privatized version.

I'm sure there are many cases where they do a bad job and costs rise, but I'd imagine the things government has done well and that keep costs somewhat okay far outweighs it and I also imagine you never hear about 99% of the stuff where things are humming along.
