That's what I was thinking, I wonder to what extent this is a symptom of stagnation in physics.
>The Chinese government is targetting the Uigher people and their supporters with the intention of destroying the Uigher cultural identity.

This is begging the question -- what are those things that reveal the intent to eradicate?

We both agree that Uighur's are being specifically targeted, of course, but the Wikipedia article is weaseling in the "cultural" qualifier, i.e. "cultural genocidie". That's a comparison to genocide. I still don't see clear and compelling evidence of intent to eradicate.

Evidence of intent to torture? Yes.

Evidence of intent to marginalize? Yes.

Evidence of intent to harvest organs for the benefit of others? Yes.

Evidence that Chinese policy wishes to remove the people from existence? I could be convinced, and it wouldn't surprise me very much, but the evidence is unclear.

What am I overlooking?
Is this really realistic though? I'm curious about your professional perspective.

My impression of the present/near future of air combat is a stealthy fighter with AMRAAMs in front, radar off, and a quarterback aircraft in back out of missile range, with the radar on. The front fighter fires and turns around, and the missile gets mid-course updates from the quarterback aircraft. When the AMRAAMs are depleted, you leave. It seems like if you get into Sidewinder range and you're outnumbered, you're going to have a torrent of medium range missiles coming at you from all sides.

It's not clear to me how well newer radars can track the B-2, but it's hard for me to see how fighters could really protect it. I'd expect that in a conflict with China, if they can track the B-2, that the B-2 would be withheld until the fighter threat was neutralized.
Considering America’s obsession with diversity, I find it hard to believe that she would have an easier time in Europe or anywhere else in the world. In America she would receive countless offers purely as a diversity hire. That’s not to say she wouldn’t deserve the offers based on merit, but Silicon Valley has decided that pure ability is less important to hiring than race and gender. That gives her an enormous advantage over white and asian males.
> I don't think that having gotten lucky and bought a home somewhere when it was cheap should entitle you to enjoy living there forever when others are willing to pay more for the same home.

If others are willing to pay more for the same home, then they should make the current owner of the home an offer.
Would be interested in seeing the 99.9%ile execution time for BTC vs FedACH transactions. The page linked in the parent comment provides statistics for "timely" processing but doesn't indicate the actual time(s) that that standard represents. My money's still on the Fed though.
There are numerous problems with such logic:

Just because you can replace those 10 fighters faster doesn't mean you can replace the pilots with equivalently good ones as quickly.

Great power wars in the modern era will have some of the most decisive action happen far sooner than you can get into production capacity battles. At which point one side will lob several hypersonic missiles into the shipyards, factories, and fabs of their opponents and the ability to replace lost platforms will have been neutralized.
Unfortunately not :/

I tried for a while to get the epub / mobi version but the PDF was always mangled by every conversion technique I tried.

I did just get a nice tip from a HN user about a piece of software that might work. I'm going to give it a try and maybe I'll have an epub one down the road.

But as of now, there isn't an epub version.
Yeah, the UK rental market is pretty bad.

My understanding is those fees are no longer legal.

https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/tenant-fees-act

See the section near the bottom starting "From 1 June 2019, the only payments that landlords or letting agents can charge to tenants in relation to new contracts are:"

Anecdotally, it seems these fees have indeed disappeared, although few people I know now live in rental accommodation in the UK.
My wording was confusing: it would be on an unrelated skills test. I'm pretty sure it was introverts that improved because I remember thinking that I should make a point of getting some caffeine before future tests.
It is conspirational but it addresses what imho was a wrong conclusion. There was an item in article that basically said 'this is an obscure figure, why go after him?' And I just wanted to point out that that reasoning is not conclusive and rather narrow: that going after a relative nobody can actually be of utility, in an oblique way, for an establishment.

> You're saying that Scott was made an example of in order for the NYT to scare him and stop his writing, with the end goal of preserving their authority?

I don't know, it's just a hypothesis, but this is the question you can answer for yourself: would the proverbial Scott today start an anon blog, or would he first do a liability analysis regarding his personal and professional life? In otherwords, has the social calculus of anonymous [non-estalishment] expression been altered in a significant way?
Yes it's running smoother than ever on all my machines.

Why do you conclude that it doesn’t seem to be the case? There are a ton of known second-order causes of education inequality like redlining, tax disparities, etc. It’s highly likely that the disparities in this program happen because of racism, even if no one sat down and said “we should admit mostly white and Asian kids”.
A good start would have been acknowledging that flaw in your premise, anywhere in the piece.

It's an unsalvageable argument regardless; you have invented a promise nobody made to you, compelling strangers to manage a project in which you have no involvement to conduct their work in accordance with your wishes.

Yeah but adblockers, noscript, and other privacy plugins break the web. As such, they are not a magic bullet. Many of these plugins are well intentioned, but only address the problem at a surface level. I like to surf the web with no addons. By "surf" I mean properly surf and having hundreds of tabs open. I want to see a page the way the site author intended it to be, untainted by plugins. A lot of the privacy issues you see in browsers are fingerprinting issues related to useragent strings, cookies, and IPsec (or lack thereof). This is trivial to address with VMs, VPNs, and private sessions.
Seems like one of those situations where it can happen often to some people and never for others. I wonder how really prevalent this problem is?

"What the article points out is that if most of the wealth increase is coming from land, a different type of tax might be the best way to target the concentration of wealth—namely the Georgist land-value tax instead of broader global wealth and income taxes."

I hate to be Mr. Unintended Consequences, blah blah, but ...

Can we stop and imagine for a bit what the world would look like if land owners were forced to build and develop to match rising land values just to maintain their ownership ?

Right now we sometimes see long time property owners forced to sell - they cannot afford to live there anymore as property taxes rise, based on the value. Imagine if the buildings themselves (or the farms or the gardens or the parks) could not afford to be there ?
wow, I didn't know this, thanks for the info. Sometimes it happens that I run something and after 30 minutes think "Hmm, would have been great to add noti"
Since bitcoin doesn't produce income and it's not backed by anything there is no way to tell whether it's 'underpriced'.

I wonder what kind of subtle systemic effect will twist the whole crypto thing on its head to the point people will forget what it was in the first place.

I live in a large loft-style apartment on two floors which is actually a large room. There are only a few windows and they are placed in a way that no air draft gets created.

When I bought a purifier, one of the things I was looking for was air movement. I position my Dyson so that there's a draft throughout the apartment.

I thought this would improve the air filtration because the air would move through my home and eventually reach my purifier.

My previous experience with a purifier was a Honeywell tower that didn't move air. I noticed an improvement when I switched to a unit that moves air better.

Am I wrong? Should I give up Dyson anyway and choose another product?
How can it stabilize when it has a fixed amount of BTC?
If you live in a situation where the only local fiat currency is even worse, then the “volatility fee” of cryptocurrency may be well worth the money to decouple yourself from that bad fiat currency risk. Maybe you can purchase things directly with the cryptocurrency, or maybe you just wait until you can drive across the border to a place with more stable fiat currency, sell cryptocurrency for that currency, and buy milk. Simple currency exchange or traditional custodial stores of value like precious metals wouldn’t work, since you’re still beholden to the original fiat currency problem.

At any given time, some small slice of world currency demand will be focused on this “protection from unstable fiat currency” and some other small slice would be like a prepper mindset hedging their perceived risk of facing that (eg “but what if the US dollar collapses?” from people with very extreme risk aversion preferences).

That total “market cap” demand for cryptocurrency will surely be way, way lower than traditional fiat currencies, but it may still be much higher than the current total market cap for crypto, which means there is room for completely rational speculative buying and holding of crypto, depending on your outlook and risk preferences, for perfectly sound reasons.

I highly doubt Bitcoin is ever going to become a major direct medium of exchange. But also it does not need to become that. It can offer big value in a lesser role that would still justify speculative buying of crypto today.
Exactly, just like how with fiat currencies, the military serves as a proof-of-waste system which does nothing productive except to compete with other militaries. They compete by intentionally burning their limited resources (young individuals' lives) so as to make an enemy attack cost-prohibitive, thus securing the network.

> The army is to defend the country and its people, and would not be reduced in a bitcoin powered world.

Yes, they also defend other things besides the country's financial interests. So you'd expect them to cost a little more than Bitcoin, which only defends holders' financial interests. I am simply pointing out how they use the same proof-of-work system to accomplish it.

If the widespread adoption of Bitcoin led to a devaluation of existing fiat currencies, then you would expect military spending to go down (in terms of bitcoins). But I don't think that Bitcoin's adoption will decrease the use of fiat currencies (by any significant amount).

> both of those things can be bad and having two of them can be additively much worse

It's not clear why they would be additively worse. Creating a new place to store wealth doesn't increase the overall amount of wealth.

I agree that it is not a good thing that proof-of-work systems are wasteful, but perhaps it's the only way of solving the problem.

Proof-of-stake systems look promising but there are still some open questions about how it should be implemented and what the implications are for network security, and it will be at least a few years before they become battle-tested enough to have the same level of trust as Bitcoin.
We have four in our house and they are workhorses. Still running strong and quiet 3-4 years later of running 24/7. Probably one of the best things I've ever bought.

They are also popular enough, and have been around long enough, that there is an "ecosystem" of third party replacement filters that are affordable and capable.

The sound of the Coway is also quite nice for sleeping in our opinion. It's a quiet "whoooosh", not grating at all.

Given the observed longevity of the Coways, I suspect they are actually cheaper than "DIY box fan" solution after a couple of years if you're running them 24/7. Sure, you can get a cheap box fan, but you'll be lucky if it lasts 6-12 months running 24/7 while trying to suck air through a filter.

Normal people love this kind of stuff. When they use a computer they like to see their kids photos all over the place, or their beach house they saved up for, or their dogs, or whatever. They want their computer desktop to be like their physical desktop.

I don't believe the gay community has a monopoly on the use of the misspelling "boi", if that's what you're trying to suggest. It's certainly not the context in which I first saw it commonly used.
Mmmh, interesting. Apparently they did this with production in mind, so it must be usable. I'll give it a try...
OK, I'd agree there are worse reasons but needing money is back because entrepreneurhood needs mindset and a skillset. Happening to need money doesn't get either of those.

> Actually, it's different from what the Nazis and Soviets were doing (forcing farmers to make whatever they tell them to), and more like what Vietnam and China do. Their governments deed tracts of land to farmers and say "have at it, you keep most of the profit, but you're contracted to this township or hamlet for x amount of produce. Whatever is leftover you charge whatever you want to whomever you want."

The difference is that the Nazis and Soviets (supposedly)took it all and these folks take an absolute amount X.

What happens when a farm produces less than its X? (To be fair, Nazis and Soviets may have minimum "all" as well.)

> saving the middleman markups associated.

And also forcing the farmer to do sales and distribution in addition to farming. That's time she can't spend farming, relaxing, etc. Note that other people are probably better at sales and distribution, so it's economically inefficient to force the farmer to do those things.

Comparative advantage is a good thing.
And if I'm really honest, not to suggest the coursework (especially hands-on) didn't have value, but a huge part of what I learned was exposure to many things--including non-STEM--and various activities outside of classwork. I only use things I learned undergrad in the most general sense today.
I took both AP Calculus, AP Computer Science A/CSP. CSA has you work with miniscule Java problems while CSP had you do things like define "big data" and what IETF stands for. Despite getting a 4/5 on the exams, I don't feel like they resembled anything like my introductory classes at a state university, and don't really seem to apply to either the academic wing of computer science nor software engineering. I'm sure part of that is likely due to teaching, as I preferred my highschool math teachers to the technology/computing teachers, but the curriculum seems misfocused at best.

The OP is broadly right. You now need to show ID to buy a SIM in many EU countries and beyond (e.g. Chile, Russia or Senegal). A copy of the ID is given to the state in order to link your identity to the SIM card. Even if you bought a prepaid SIM before this policy or law came in, when you top up the mobile provider may pressure you into paying online or by card instead of cash, so that your identity can be linked to the SIM through your payment.

I do wonder how long the US (or, for example, Finland) will remain a holdout in this regard.

Fyi, while the whitepaper marcinzm links to may not be the design you implemented, it is the first result (for me, at least, in the UK) when googling "MobileCoin Whitepaper", while the Mechanics of MobileCoin repo doesn't appear at all.

Just in terms of avoiding confusion, you might want to reach out to mixin.one to try to replace that document with one that clarifies that the design outlined there was not used? Or publicise the actual design a bit better? (I couldn't find a link to this repo on the MobileCoin website, which is why I searched for the whitepaper elsewhere in the first place).

"Multiprocessing"... 20 years ago, I was bringing big SPARC systems to their knees with python, using fork() and shared memory with a bit of C code to give me access to atomic instructions. This was python ~1.5 era.

I never could talk to others about that code, it got sold out from under me; but i did get to release the mmap/atomics toolkit under GPL at least. AFAIK no one ever acknowledged using it.

I don't think it's categorically wrong to say something is too simple. There are accepted terms for that: over-simplification, simplistic.

There's also the Einstein line: "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler."

I have no idea if PeerJS is actually too simple, but the "shape" of KaoruAoiShiho's statement seems fine.
I've gained too much from different Facebook groups (when living abroad for example) and get too much value from important social connections (seeing friend's photos of their kids, for example, or chatting with my one uncle who only uses Messenger) to just ditch Facebook.

For the price of the f-35 a defensible satellite installation could be placed in orbits that would be difficult to shoot down.

There is nothing stopping a satellite from maneuvering out of the way of an incoming missle, or for it deploying counter measures.

Satellites can be launched on arbitrarily large rocket boosters with an arbitrary number of in orbit assembly/refueling flights. Anti satellite missiles require that the missile can be deployed to a useful location that can’t be immediately disabled.
I'm tempted to say you leave an enable option and report it to the browser teams as a performance challenge – it's the kind of thing which should work better than it does.

I noticed that more than half the time in Chrome isn't HTML parsing but rather layout recalculation - I suspect you'd be able to avoid much of that if you were able to set some sort of min/max width on the columns and containing table with overflow:scroll-x or hidden. Perhaps set a fixed width when the server sees the size is large and/or by measuring the rows while rendering the template?

Personally I find the racist overtones to be the least scary aspect of this story. I grew up in rural Texas; for police/government officials to conduct their work with a base level of racism is, while frustrating and sickening, pretty much to be expected. Kafka-esque detention, authoritarian abuse of power, and the hinted-at FBI search of the OP's apartment scare me a lot more.

Hell, casual racism is basically an (awful) American tradition. Unreasonable search and seizure most emphatically isn't.
"But the reality is, you have no right in the US to travel"

"and the government can set whatever standards they want for public spaces"

So, in your opinion, a government can decree that whites can't travel first class in planes, or that women must wear a burkha on the street?

For me, all that hyperbole makes it hard to see what value your arguments have.
