Liu was not sentenced due to this <三百年殖民地。香港一百年殖民地变成今天这样，中国那么大，当然需要三百年殖民地，才会变成今天香港这样，三百年够不够，我还有怀疑。>

And, yes, what you just described is also well known. No one in this thread said Liu should be sentenced. And no one in this thread said they agree with what Chinese gov did.

What we suggest is that some of Liu's opinions are not acceptable by Chinese people. And he is not well respected as people might think. Some facts are provided in this thread.

Yeah, the thing that's missing in the commentary is that Turnbull used it as a throwaway line. He doesn't actually think you can break mathematical laws. He's not a stupid man, and was just answering a comment comparing natural laws against national laws, which are clearly not the same thing.

One thing I miss from yesteryear is how people used to be able to understand what a politician was saying between the lines, and when a politician was going for a bit of dry humour. Now they just analyse the surface content. It's pretty sad.
I have an FX 8350 which is serving me ok at the moment but would love to upgrade to ThreadRipper soon. I was tempted to build a dual E5-2670 system but glad I held off now. I have some fairly weighty OpenStreetMap crunching that could definitely benefit from loads of cores, and nested VMs might be an interesting usage.

Right. And you still know something is not acceptable by the people, and you probably wont go across that line. Same thing in China. Many of Liu's opinions are hated by Chinese people in general, not by the central power.
Why do you say that? The suggestion looks clear to me. A suggestion is a not overwhelming evidence.

The incentives in capitalism actually work out. When you can only spend your own money, and you have the freedom to choose how to spend it, markets are stochastically optimal for a huge range of allocation problems. Any sort of centralized system that tries to have only "the advantages of capitalism" usually fails because it doesn't make any sense game-theoretically or from an optimization perspective.
Not a bad point, I hadn't thought about that, but you do still have the option of flushing all reviews with an update if they're primarily negative.

It is pedantic because at some schools the degree program for people whose intention is to write software in exchange for money is "computer science" while at other schools it's "software engineering" and at yet other schools it's almost certain to be something else. Which means that arguing about which is the theoretically "correct" term has no relevance, since the names are used so interchangeably by the schools themselves.
There's the "music industry" and then there is the music industry. Most independent musicians (which is like, 90% of us, and perhaps 90% of genre representation) are not represented by any agents of these large parasitic popular-music-peddling corporations, neither in unit sales (cds, downloads) nor streaming nor bookings.

While, in this case, we are discussing the large music distributors: Apple, Amazon, etc,
I feel it a good time to bring-up the curious fact that, while copyright law exists in a large portion of the world, there are private entities: associations of lawyers, who purport to represent ALL copyright holders for a given nation. ASCAP, BMI, SPA, SUICA, etc...each nation has this private entity sitting on top of copyright law enforcement claiming to be THE money funnel by which people should pay for licensing of all media.

Venues where music is played are supposed to keep a list of songs played and pay accordingly, or more usually, there is a flat fee paid as a kind of tax, which ostensibly should go to the artists whose music was played.
Copyright societies can visit venues or events with fiscal policing agents and control them.
Copyright societies have a global accounting network by which they settle at various intervals.

The only kink in the works is that they also collect money for those they DON'T represent (aka, that's what happens when a private entity gets a government sanctioned collections role) and while it's supposed to be accessible for non members to obtain, the reality is that without the proofs of plays that the societies themselves have access too, one will have very little luck...
The money sits in the various copyright societies coffers...

What if Norway was another autocratic state? Economic punishment could have made them bent anyway. Maybe your point is that autocracies bend less than democracies and you could be right: dictators usually don't care about economic sanctions because what they care about is to stay in charge. A poor or wealthy country doesn't matter much. Actually sanctions help them to build a narrative of world against the country and strengthen their grip.

I'm not aware of what happened in Norway after those Chinese sanctions. They could democratically decided that it was ethically worth losing those businesses. Any Norwegian people here?
All of their resource management for DNS, certs, domains, etc is done using sub-commands which are not reviewable.

Sure they can have an audit trail of events, but Terraform/CloudFormation are industry standard now, as changes can be easily previewed and reviewed by peers.

Single-command deploys are cute, don't get me wrong, but it's ultimately a gimmick. It's great for solo or small teams, but for larger teams, they'll ALWAYS use CI, and they'll ALWAYS want to restrict damage that a single team member can do to the infrastructure.

There's nothing novel about single-command deploys. Hell at Segment we had "/deploy blog" in Slack for the simple cases that we weren't worried about, tons of companies do this stuff. Most at very least have git -> CI deploys which is a more correct way to do things for real teams.
There are multiple ways to attack this.

Firstly, understand the politics. The Labor party might tweak some corners on the legislation but will basically support it. Their policy is to support the government position on anything related to national security.

So any argument needs to be made understanding this.

At the moment the argument that "deliberate vulnerabilities makes us all vulnerable" has some traction, especially every time news comes out about a major hack. This is especially the case if it is linked to a state-actor, especially China or Russia. This is a good argument because it attacks the national-security justification.

Another good argument is one that was made to Turnbull on ABC Radio: Given your use of Wickr, what is to stop a foreign power from obtaining a warrant for an Australian politician or business person's communications? We already now of cases where the Australian security apparatus was used to benefit Australia's trade interest (in the Timor sea). Won't this make us more vulnerable?

Then there's the "Australia will be left behind" argument. If the US doesn't do this as well, then at least some US companies will refuse to comply and withdraw from Australia. That puts us at a competitive disadvantage, and if the same companies operate in the US it is hard to argue they are "bad".
That's the theory but in reality its gamed by employers and body shops additionally like racism if people perceive it discriminates against native born citizens then it is.
How do they make money playing video games?
What straight face? He's presenting the policy, and a journalist asks him "won't the laws of mathematics trump the laws of australia". When have you ever seen a senior politician reply to something like that with "Oh, you're right. I withdraw the policy". It was standard politician's bluster, answering a question in kind; it wasn't meant to be taken as a literal truth.

Do you think the journalist who asked the question thought that mathematical law and national laws were the same kind of thing? Shouldn't you be mocking the journo just as much for asking such a silly question? People wonder why politicians hedge everything they say these days, and refuse to say much of substance. This is why: they get crucified on any single comment which sounds funny when taken out of context.

Disclaimer: not a conservative voter, and indeed generally vote on the far opposite side to Turnbull.

> Could you use this to deduplicate files in a filesystem?

Depends on what you mean and your constraints. Deduplicate file entries if you can live with a rare false positives, sure. A setup of 1million entrie limit with 1/1billion false positive chance will get ~80M mem usage.

If you want to check for duplicate files, probably not.

> Could you use this as the deduplication method in ZFS?

I would say no.
There are two core issues:

1. Liu is not acceptable by a lot of Chinese people due to his aggressive words on colonial and slavers.

2. Liu was sentenced by the gov due to "subversion".

So to judge Liu, we have to look from at least two different angles, not just "he was sentenced".

Few people thinks 2 is right. I, personally, do not agree on 2 too.

And I am now thinking why most people outside China only know about 2 when they try to judge about Liu?
> You cannot put any limits on free speech in a free society

But that doesn't exist anywhere in the world. The closest is the US, but even their extremist version of freedom of speech has government imposed limits.
Maybe there is some opportunity to embrace the trash.

What if we replace the dashboard with a selection of recycling bins and expect people to be unpacking their shopping, eating food on the way and creating waste, putting facilities in place?

Perhaps we even expect people to just bring their wastebin contents with them because it is easier than putting it in street collection bins. Time in transit can be spent 'doing the recycling'.

Well filtered fresh waste may even be preferable for recycling and perhaps the autonomous car driving company has a nice sideline in collecting raw materials for recycling.

Tesla are leading the way with a minimal aesthetic, where the fiddly knobs and switches are all gone and there is just one massive touchscreen instead. There is also no central tunnel to disguise or carpet over. Soon all cars will adopt this look and it may even be possible to offer a selection of power-wash friendly trim levels.

Given the choice of a regular car, e.g. my dad's or one of my workmates, or a power-washed autonomous car, I would imagine the latter to be cleaner even if it had seen multiple vomit stains in the last month.

This is actually possible with fairings! Because fairings can rewrite requests, it's possible to create a fairing that rewrites a request URI of `path/` to `path` or vice-versa as needed. Rocket will route the rewritten request normally. In psuedocode, such a fairing might look like:

on_request => |request, _| {
if request.uri().path().ends_with('/') {
let new_path = request.uri().path()[..-1];
request.set_uri(URI::new(new_path));
}
}

You can also use a fairing If you want to return a 302 (or similar) so that the browser does the redirect instead. In this case, you'd implement a response fairing that rewrites failed responses to return a redirect to the appropriate URI. Again, in pseudocode, this would look like:

on_response => |request, response| {
if response.status() == Status::NotFound && request.uri().path().ends_with('/') {
response.set_status(Status::Found);
response.set_header(Location(request.uri().path()[..-1]));
response.take_body();
}
}

Take a look at the fairings guide [0] and fairings documentation [1] for more ideas!

What matter does it make if it was originally meant at Europeans rather than Indians? People also used to consider Catholics (Irish, Italians, Polish) as not white.

The US is still very sparsly populated, especially for a country with so much arable land & relatively mild climate.

Ever been to the Netherlands or Belgium? They are quite lovely. Both also have a population density well in excess of 10x the US's.

Lots more people can fit in the country without negative effects.
While there was clearly a mismatch of expectations here, I don't think working in an asynchronous manner is necessarily unprofessional. And there's really not enough information in the original article to see how the mismatched expectations developed.
1 on 1s are not for feedback on day to day stuff. They are supposed to cover the more meta aspects not related directly to delivering on a daily basis. If your boss is using 1 on 1s to cover operational stuff they're wasting the opportunity to help improve the team wellbeing and progress.
and then the rise of the remote empires began.

I am sure most companies will find a way to hire talent remotely. The positive side of this act would be that huge companies will start to think about hiring people remotely. Which would mean improved practices in managing remote talent.

and frankly I think its overdue, the tools are the technology is there, why the do you need borders to impede your company's progress.
Especially egregious considering that all culture is a lie and it genocides itself by default anyway.
Besides that I also disliked the philosophy.

There are real disadvantages of existing hardware.

Take a lock, if you have a cilinder because you need a physical key you have an attack point. Add electronics on top and you only expand the attack service. Get rid of the exposed cilinder! Don't make a plane that flaps like a bird.

Another argument. As an electrical engineer most of my graduates where reinventing wheels with FPGAs. That something is hardware does not mean it cannot contain bugs, I assure you. :-)

Electronics itself improves as well. From lifetimes to power consumption. Everybody knows you should replace batteries of smoke alarms, but people don't always care: turn off the alarm and forget to place a new. There are many ways in which safety can be improved: test the working regularly, have notification messages go to the user if it is not, don't rely on battery only, but also connect the grid, make sure that false alarms can be quickly disabled, have campaigns so that everyone has them, make installation easier, etc. I wouldn't be so sure as the writer that Nest has a netto negative effect because they use a microcontroller in the loop.
They're growing though. Foxconn used to employ about 300,000 fewer 5 or so years ago.

Foxconn also promised they'd mostly all be automated away within 5 years or so, 5 years ago.

That wasn't bad capacity planning on their part. That was just a flat out lie.

That lie was repeated, uncritically by the western media at the time. 5 years later they're still repeating the prediction and the western media still reports it with not a shadow of skepticism.
Only really a problem if you intend to return.
This is some real breakthrough. I don't remember i have heard of anything like this before. Any amount of success with this solution will have a lot of consequences on other problems.

> I posted my comments above because you are blindly defending Liu's repressive comments without providing any 3rd party proof that can be publicly verified.

I'm not defending them. I'm questioning the interpretation of the quote posted which doesn't imply should. There is a difference and I can be swayed either way.

> when you painted Liu's "China should be colonized by the west for 300 years" comments as some so called "misunderstanding"

It was a joke. Can you imagine the absurdity if it was a 30 year misunderstanding?

Your hostility in this thread isn't helping your case at all, which in spite of you attacking me I still believe can probably be made very well!

I believe my questions have been quite reasonable, and I am the kind of person who can be 'won' over with good argument.

Yes it does.

Good point, also, there is a huge pool of skilled and unskilled workers in the EU to draw from, especially hard hit countries like Spain, Italy and Greece with stomach churningly high unemployment rates. Studies have claimed this has a negligible effect on wages, but I find it hard to believe.

> Bloom filters are of course interesting in certain scenarios e.g. to statistically reduce network traffic.

Yes I originally wrote it for exactly this such a scenario.

This is not for you if you cannot live with any chance of a false positive, even an extremely small one. Note that even in most cases a false positive is acceptable if the chance of a false positive is less then the chance of a hardware error.

Not that just because it is probabilistic does not mean its not useful in many cases. The default setup with 1mil entrie memory and 1/1mil chance false positive chance will run at ~8M mem usage. This is a quite an acceptable trade off in many cases.
I honestly think your employers have been super generous already, one ought to know what is expected of him/her and realise they shouldn't leave themselves open to criticism by abusing the trust of the employer, always be in a positive balance, put in more than you take out and make sure it gets visibility.

I wouldn't keep someone who is not performing for whatever reason, because by the time I lose trust in that person, in my mind he's pretty much out of the door. Because this is business , it's not a charity , one is responsible for their own life.

As for those who say ' company culture and fairness ' I say your competitors are already eating your lunch
No, law does not demand that. You have to accept it to settle existing debt but that's it. For new customers you can demand any payment method you want. If they don't like it they are free to not form a contract. A cashless restaurant would be legal. They are just rare because of customer preference. But just look at online shops: they generally don't allow you to pay cash.

The truth is, if the remote teams in low cost places like India and China worked so well, they would have long ago offshored everything.
