I can read Chinese as well and I don't see anything opinionated in that quote. There is nothing that says anything positive or negative about Hong Kong. It just says that he suspects that China would have to be colonized for 300 years to reach the same state as Hong Kong, due to its large size.

He does not say whether it would be a good or bad thing. I don't even notice an undertone.
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
MOTHER OF EXILES. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Yes, that will also work, hence why rainbow tables don't need to contain more entries than the possible set of hashes.

"China's political environment is indeed bad, but most of the Western media coverage distorted the facts"

You're the one asking others to give this empty argument special status because it was posted by someone who claims to be Chinese.

There is a youtuber[0] I've been following lately, he explains the effects from sitting too much infront of a computer and how to fix them.

I've already learnt about APT[0](Anterior Pelvic Tilt) which is a common problem that happens when sitting for prolongated periods of time.

Forward Head Posture[1]: happens when your neck is not straight above your shoulders
Computer Shoulders

Computer shoulders[2]: when your shoulder are rounded(bro physique), happens when you rotate your shoulders to reach your keyboard

He've got a lot more about posture.

There also another youtuber you probably seen him before(Athlean-X)

It's definitely more than just publicity. There's a difference. Being on the cover of a Time magazine is publicity. But a Nobel Prize (or similar recognition) is not just publicity. It's elevating a person to the same stature as Nelson Mandela, MLK etc. It's hope to the people following them, it's inspiration, it's recognition. It's a signal to the establishment that it's no longer just a dissident but perhaps birth of a movement, if history has taught us anything. It's definitely more.
If not anything, there is a big chunk of prize money, it generally is put to use for a good cause too. :)
FYI: I've built a datapackage manager called datapak in ruby [1][2]. datapak supports the tabular datapackages (.csv with .json schema) from the frictionless data initiative (by the open knowledge foundation). All open source and public domain. See some examples such as the Standard&Poors 500. By default the datapackage gets auto-added from .csv to an in-memory SQLite database for easy querying etc. Thanks to ActiveRecord you can use PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.

I'm honestly curious to know if you feel that his treatment by the Chinese authorities was just (i.e. in proportion to the perceived crime).
Interior of the local metro trains is recorded from every possible angle you can think of, yet almost every night they turn into garbage cans on wheels. The problem is always reviewing the footage, finding the culprit and making them pay. If an automated taxi comes back to the depot after 12 hours of driving and you find it in a messy state, are you just going to pay someone $50 to clean it, or are you going to spend time reviewing 12 hours of footage to find out who made the mess and then spend weeks trying to get the money back?

Which of course creates a self-perpetuating problem, because if the behaviour is not punished, it will never be corrected and it will become "ok" to make a mess in an auto taxi(not vomit, but just leaving your rubbish behind).
Definitely not. The corporations can't put me in prison or kill me, can't force me to use their services, can't use the data together with other data sources available to governments, don't have incentive to limit my spending and can't flat out take my money, and so on.
E-Commerce as a Jobs Engine? One Economist’s Unorthodox View
Thank you guys for your answers :)

I am charting the landscape of distributed database systems (federated and homogenous). Node interconnectivity is just one of many potential bottlenecks.

With a sufficiently complex query, redistribution of data by hash must occur a number of times for linear scalability (based on my understanding). Ethernet based interconnectivity typically suffers from high CPU utilization and various QoS issues for this particular use case. This also seems to apply to Ethernet based fabric offerings, though I haven't kept up with that field for a couple of years.

If you guys are encountering performance issues connected to either RAM=>CPU loading or data redistribution between nodes, you may want to keep this in mind.

I may get in touch via chat at a later time as I'm slightly more than average interested in HPC database systems :) The more offerings, the better!
Well, I'm just saying that if they've done it once—and when their framework was at its peak—they might do it again.

To some in the west, China is a land of opportunities, a booming economy with tech giants and a supply chain for the industrial world. To others it's a bloody dictatorship that assassinated thousands of people for the sole crime of speaking their mind in 1989.

To me it's the embodiment of the hypocrisy of the west when it comes to the defense human rights. Let's be frank, we didn't abolish slavery, we just outsourced it to make it more acceptable. It's also a proof that capitalism doesn't need democracy or free-speech to function.
That was before all the land was settled. And most likely meant for Europeans.

I wouldn't make a claim as strong as that, but it wouldn't surprise me that it's among the best value for money - it's a tradeoff - you could spend more for better outcomes but at some point it's not worth it any more. The important thing is universal coverage free at the point of use. The NHS is under severe demographic and funding pressure right now, but even that doesn't negate a clear advantage over US healthcare in terms of value for money as shown in the very chart you linked.
> the core issue here is simple: how come such a man who repeatedly made such extremist styles comments in public got awarded the nobel peace prize.

That is your issue, not mine.

> you came to this thread largely because Liu is not a random dude on street, he had the nobel peace prize.

I am here because of the outrageous comment you made about ‘certain views that should never ever be publicly stated’. If you can’t defend your opinions then why are you here? Can you, or can you not explain how do you support your extremist views?
... in part because they hate all the bugs.
That is not even close to the core issue.

The core issue is that the Chinese government locked someone up for stating an opinion. An opinion not much different in substance than then ones you are stating in this thread.

Would you consider it just for you to be imprisoned for your views alone? I would not, and I think that is also true for other people.

The same logic would apply to an 8192 bit key. One more bit doubles the key space. Someone who is be able to crack 2048 bit keys, probably also has the opportunity to crack 4096 bit keys. It may not be cheap for your communication partners to use your 4096 bit key. Smartphones and embedded devices want to use as less energy as possible. With an 4096 bit key, you force your communication partners to spent an unnecessary amount of energy.
Database design: what they haven't taught me in schools
> I can read Chinese as well

I am a native Chinese, which also implies I understand more of the language context. Also it implies I probably can share more of the sentiment as other Chinese people do. So, yes, there is a difference between how people view the exact same content. And I was trying to clarify that.

> China would have to be colonized for 300 years to reach the same state as Hong Kong

Why China needs to reach the same state as Hongkong through Colonial? Does he feel HongKong was at a worse state compared to China at that point? Or HongKong was at a better state?

And, yes, no matter what state Hongkong was at due to the Colonial, China SHOULD NEVER go that path. That is where I cannot agree with Liu.

Any one can justify his words. But I will still hold my opinion on this specific issue after I read quite a lot about Liu, about what he said, about what he wrote, in both Chinese and English articles and documentary.

> The banks were MADE to do it

That's what I said too, read my comment once more. I only pointed out that the banks didn't resist it, because they could see that a compelling payment experience could help them fight PayTM.

> Anyone can integrate with UPI - you can too

That's what makes me sceptical of your expertise. My experience working in a payments startup tells me that the only way to integrate with UPI is to partner up with an existing bank. For example, Flipkart's PhonePe couldn't simply start calling UPI APIs. They use software provided by Yes Bank Limited and all payment requests were routed through Yes Bank. This is why all PhonePe users have @ybl addresses, not @phonepe.

> Its the demand side that they are figuring out.

I don't see what "demand-side" needs to be figured out. Everyone agrees that giving the 200M users of Android/Whatsapp the power to make payments would be desirable. What Google and Facebook must actually figure out is how to integrate with YBL or whichever bank they're partnering with and to make sure their UX is good.
Capitalism needs government guaranteed private property. Was there ever the need for anything else?
> the two party is a problem

Although as a European I disagree with some specifics of U.S. culture (and also American foreign policy), I have to say U.S. democracy is actually surprisingly strong at the more local level. Lots of states have semi-direct democracy instruments, for example town halls and referenda. People have it in their blood.
Word order in general being at the whim of the writer is the bane of the modern learner, although we can be sure that this is a stylistic device and that the spoken word order would have been much more standardised.

Why I can’t have conversations using Twitter (2014)
I believe he did believe China should be colonized. Even he didn't, his audience are genuinely considering and discussing that option.

We have a word called "带路党", which literally means road-leading party, to describe people who think China being colonized is a viable idea and do whatever they feel it's helpful to achieve that goal. "Road-leading" means giving directions to intruders (or saviours in their view), in many cases, the US army.

Yeah, amusing, I know.

I don't have the exact definition of the word, here's an old meme people used during NSA's PRISM went viral, hope you get the idea. http://photocdn.sohu.com/20130613/Img378667270.jpg

Exactly. Too many people in our countries are very pushy about their value system but see no problem communicating about it through orwelian services using hardawre built by children.

I mean, I'm veggie but I wouldn't dare considering eat lovers bad persons given what else I consume.

That doesn't mean we should feel guilty. It's a hard problem. But that's certainly means we should not feel entitled. And boy do we love to be.
I agree with both of you

As an aside, even though the Norwegian government has nothing to do with the prize, China quickly ended lots of relations with Norway, losing Norwegian companies billions.

Now, the government is too afraid to publicly speak about Liu, to not sour what they have spent years trying to fix. Weak.

They kind of do, don't they? The reason Obama was able to kill so many people with drones was because he was elected. His voters could have decided killing was wrong and not voted for him. He even warned people he would do drone killing while he was campaigning.

Perhaps you're saying most Obama voters didn't like the drone killing but tolerated it because they liked the rest of Obama enough? That at least means they don't mind killing too much - it's not a show stopper for them.

or are you going to spend time reviewing 12 hours of footage to find out who made the mess and then spend weeks trying to get the money back?

Fortunately, I can get that done for me at a cost of much, much less than 12 hours of my own time. I can farm it out overseas to somewhere with a large supply of very cheap labour. I wouldn't be surprised if sitting in front of a bank of a half-dozen taxi-interior replays running backwards at triple-speed (with the empty periods already taken out by some relatively simple processing) from a point at which the uncleanliness is visible was seen as a good job, compared to some other options available.

Wouldn't be surprised if I could have that done for me at a cost of a few dollars a time; if I then charge the culprit a hundred bucks on their already registered credit card or taxi account for cleaning (fifty sounds too low), it becomes very economical for me.
Depends on whether they believe in vertical integration or not.

It also depends on there being 'existing players to manage their fleet'.

Size of dealership matters too, a large dealership means that a manufacturer could take the vertical integration route that bit easier than the manufacturer that licenses some third party AI and only has a few dealers.

Two answers:

In relation to the article, I am certainly not falling into the trap of suggesting anything not really indicated by the data in case.

Personally, I most definitely am.
Did you actually read the "I Have No Enemies" speech (the linked article)? It is as far from extremism as you can get.

In the speech, Liu spends considerable time praising the Communist Party's progress on human rights:

'The weakening of the enemy mentality has paved the way for the regime to gradually accept the universality of human rights. In [1997 and] 1998 the Chinese government made a commitment to sign two major United Nations international human rights covenants, signaling China's acceptance of universal human rights standards. In 2004, the National People's Congress (NPC) amended the Constitution, writing into the Constitution for the first time that "the state respects and guarantees human rights," signaling that human rights have already become one of the fundamental principles of China's rule of law. At the same time, the current regime puts forth the ideas of “putting people first" and "Creating a harmonious society," signaling progress in the CPC's concept of rule.'

After that, he even praises the progress he saw in jail conditions during the decades he's been in and out of the prison system, and offers thanks to a corrections officer who treated him well!
I am not sure what your point is. Are you telling me, if I have no interest in Chinese industry, that empathizing (which I do, as a human being) with Liu Xiaobo is a hypocrisy?

I think you're doing an aggregation error of sorts. The fact that different people in the West have different opinions about China (and some of them are perhaps even hypocritical) doesn't make every westerner's opinion a hypocritical one.
what? saying "certain views should never ever be publicly stated" is outrageous?
