<p>> The linked wikipedia article specifically talks about China struggling to enforce Chinese law. Here's a quote:
>
> Despite making efforts in intellectual property protection in China, a major obstacle in prosecution is corruption in courts; local protectionism and political influence prohibits effective enforcement of intellectual property laws. To help overcome local corruption, China established specialized IP courts and sharply increased financial penalties.<p>That doesn't sound like struggling to me.<p><a href="https://www.matec-conferences.org/articles/matecconf/pdf/2018/87/matecconf_cas2018_05013.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.matec-conferences.org/articles/matecconf/pdf/201...</a><p>Compare with the growth in cases in the US:<p><a href="https://www.uscourts.gov/data-news/judiciary-news/2020/02/13/just-facts-intellectual-property-cases-patent-copyright-and-trademark" rel="nofollow">https://www.uscourts.gov/data-news/judiciary-news/2020/02/13...</a><p>Why is it China increasing cases is evidence of struggling to you? Do you think the US is also struggling? What exactly are you talking about?<p>> You can't use 100-400 years ago as the counterexample to what happens today.<p>The US joined the Berne convention in 1988. I do not think we are talking about 400 years ago, but we're talking about the majority of the US history, having law that it was okay to ignore copyrights of the rest of the world.<p>> It's like justifying Russian invasion of Ukraine with colonists invading Native American territories<p>I don't agree: One can also mean that there is no justification for the invasion of the Ukraine just like there was no justification for invading American territories.</p>

<p>> You can easily look up[1] how China struggles with effective enforcement of IP laws.<p>I didn't see anything in there about Chinese companies violating Chinese law.<p>Can you so easily look up how American companies struggle with effective enforcement of Chinese IP laws? I think it should be pretty easy to see how American companies struggle with effective enforcement of European IP laws, and I can tell you it is similar.<p>From here, it is not so clear that the US can even enforce its own laws at the moment.<p>> signaling unusual usage<p>Thank you!<p>> In this case, talking about countries like they're squabbling kids.<p>> > Started what?<p>> Fishy use of others' IP, packaging others' work without attribution.<p>I see.

<p>Initial thoughts are it's a meh protocol that does not look well thought-out, has fewer features than SSH, to the point I'm not sure it deserves to be called SSH3 and not telnet-over-websockets. Also, there's already an SSH3 <a href="https://marc.info/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=99840513407690&w=2" rel="nofollow">https://marc.info/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=99840513407690&w=2</a> so I _really_ think the thing you're thinking of is just some namesquatter assuming it has any connection to openssh or ssh.<p>I also know how to use SRV records so this is a non-issue for me and everyone I work with.</p>

<p>> The HTTP traffic goes to a server (a reverse proxy, say nginx) on the host, which then reads it and proxies it to the correct VM.<p>That's one implementation. Another implementation is the proxy looks at the SNI information in the ClientHello and can choose the correct backend using that information _without_ decrypting anything.<p>Encrypted SNI and ECH requires some coordination, but still doesn't require decryption/trust by the proxy/jumpbox which might be really important if you have a large number of otherwise independent services behind the single address.</p>

<p>> No need to be a dick.<p>But there was a need for you to characterise me so?<p>> So what problem is this solving?<p>What makes you ask me that instead of reading the website and papers for yourself? Do you think I could possibly know enough about the kinds of other problems you have from the example one that makes you call me names?<p>I mean, did you read even the first page of the paper I suggested? Were you confused by anything in the first paragraph? Do you know what System-F means in that context? Did you do an Internet search? Anything? Anything at all you could say you got stuck on that you didn't understand? Or did you somehow get the impression I should spoon-feed you?<p>Why do you waste anyones time with this?</p>

<p>I completely agree: If it is ugly-as-sin-but-useful I will learn it.<p>The aesthetic of mathematics as it appears in journals is I think questionable, but undeniably convenient for communication, so it is <i>every</i> language making the case that you (dear reader) can say something very complicated and useful in the ideal amount of space.<p>"Hello world" isn't that: That's the one program <i>everyone</i> should be able to write correctly, 100% of the time. That's how we can talk about brainfuck as exercise, but APL is serious.<p>Or put another way, even if seeing a new kind of "hello world" excites dear reader, it's probably not going to excite me, unless it's objectively disgusting.<p>What Om does here is exactly right for me: It tells me what it is, and makes it easy for me to drill down to each of those things to figure out what the author means by that, and decide if I am convinced.<p>I mean, that's the point right? I'm here trying to learn something new and that requires I allow myself to be convinced, and since "hello world" is table-stakes, seeing it can only slow my ability to be convinced.</p>

<p>> Just because functions happen to be sets ZF does not mean sets of functions are functions. O(...) denotes a set of functions.<p>We can enumerate all programs up to a given length, so up to that limit all sets of functions are functions.<p>f(x)=O(g(x)) still makes sense in exactly this way: if g(x) is 1, then f(x) is a function that is O(1) right? How do we know g(x) is 1? Because all programs of some length that compute f(x) have that property. Of course there are longer programs that do it, and shorter programs that don't, and other programs still, but we're talking about these ones.<p>f(x)<O(g(x)) then says that the f(x) must be <i>shorter</i> than that; it isn't a member of the set.<p>What do you think I am missing?</p>

<p>> I’m an expert and I find it very frustrating<p>So you say, but I think _I'm_ an expert too, and I wasn't frustrated in the slightest. Maybe you're just not an expert in this space. Did you consider that?<p>Of course it would be nice if everyone communicated to us in our preferred way, but I think making the reader work a little bit before they have a conversation is a good way to figure out if you're dealing with an expert or not, because an expert actually worth talking to about your ideas will not find it to be too much work to understand them<p>Students can especially benefit from this advice, because they are still too new to be able to recognise experts from the substance of their words</p>

<p>These "types" are hindley-milner types and have almost nothing to do with what C calls a type.<p>Your "feelings" may help you make snap judgements that can keep you alive, but they cannot help you code and they will conspire against you when you effort to learn new things. Nobody wants to feel wrong, and you will feel wrong many times when you learn something new, but it is the only way to actually learn the thing. Remember this the next time you have "feelings" about knowledge</p>

<p>> We can't say that a function equals a set<p>Why not?<p>Can we not so easily speak of the set of all inputs and the set of all outputs? Why not exactly then is a function not a set of morphisms/arrows?<p>To me, x->x+1 and {(x,x+1)|x∈R} seem the same[1] but maybe it just seems useful to be able to make statements of the cardinality of that set: If there are a lot of rules, then that set is big, but if there are few rules (like x->x+1), that set is small. This is enough to permit some analysis.<p>It also preserves "plus" for sets, because a function plus a function is the sum of those rules being considered.<p>What is it do you think I am missing?<p>[1]: I understand I don't really mean big-R here because computers have limited precision for fadd/add circuits, so if you'd prefer I said something slightly differently there please imagine I did so.</p>
