Let's look at justice. When the government (at all levels) and the various "law enforcement" can just steal what you have, with little recourse for the citizen, when they do the "plea deals" by actively asking for punishments far in excess of the crime and freely able to outright lie to people, when they justify killing citizens and visitors because of fear (and actively turning on members of the LEO's who don't kill but try to talk down situations), when they make enough laws that ensure that the general citizenry inadvertently become felons, when the security agencies blatantly lie to those who have oversight and break all the laws that are in place to control them, all of this is "justice"?

Let's look at mercy. When prosecutors and Law enforcement are only interested in numbers jailed (irrespective of the level of the crime), when citizens are treated as dangerous and so cannot travel with no indications of what or why the citizens are treated as the enemy, when extra-judicial murders are initiated because of blah, blah, blah, when lives are destroyed because of government embarrassment, there's mercy.

Let's look at freedom. When ICE and Homeland Security treat citizens as serfs and that the constitution free-zone as existing from the border to hundreds of miles inland, when the LEO's consider everyone to be a criminal because of the "war on drugs" and the "war on terror" and every other "war on", this is freedom?

Many of the citizens of America are to be liken to the frog living in slowly heating water. They can't see the danger they are in and the losses of justice, mercy and freedom that have happened.

I live in a nation that has no such constitutional protections. My own nation is going downhill fast, but America is leading the charge to perdition and we are just following in its footsteps.

When push comes to shove, America is seen as a demon amongst nations for its lack of justice, mercy and freedom. When allied nations to America are officially telling their own citizens not to go there because of the fundamental problems in America, it behooves all to start analysing what is going on. From an external POV, your popular choices for president were a globalist murderer or isolationist incompetent. Neither were going to do any good for your nation. But, what the heck, you have made your bed and you are sleeping in it now. The proof of the pudding will be the next couple of years and unless there is a fundamental change in the grass roots citizens, I expect America to head further downhill at an even faster rate than it is currently undergoing.

So back to my original comment, soil fertility is a symptom of the the underlying problems in America. No justice, no mercy, no freedom, no responsibility, no sacrifice.
I'll second that report for that model - no issues.

Too much concern about if China can innovate and create Western alternatives. I don't think it's about that at all. It's about privacy and the freedom to choose.

That Chinese people cannot choose what they use and how they can live their lives online what is private and what isn't is the biggest issue with the WhatsApp move along with other services.

It would be sad to be Chinese living in China as the government takes choices away from me and my people.

It's going to screw up a lot of analysis.
It likely wouldn't be seen as a 'problem' if economic levels were similar. In Toronto the ethnic enclaves are a highly regarded feature of the city and there is very little tension (if at all). Many of our ethnic groups are doing as well and sometimes better than the native white groups.

It's a natural phenomenon for cultural groups to stick together. I see nothing wrong with that and all groups benefit from the variety in food and festivals.

Although we don't have the super high violence rates that spill over into other neighbourhoods and lower incarceration rates.
Salman Khan, founder of Khan Academy thinks we should flip the classroom [1]. Students watch high quality lectures at home given by the best instructors on the topic, then do "homework" in class, with the teacher being there for assistance.

Sounds like a worthy approach to me. The problem is, how can you get a school board to adopt something like this? Who leads the effort? How can you implement changes to such an entrenched system?

Is the ‘lozenge’ a Racket-ism or is it unique to this project? I understand the logic around using a character that’s hardly used in regular writing – to avoid escaping – but it seems as though it would be hard to use in practice.
This has little to do with China and innovation.
The problem is mostly economical. China probably wants Chinese clones, clones that are incredibly valuable and based in China. All the wealth generated therefrom stays in China. That's it, it's likely an economical manipulation. And frankly, from an economical standpoint, well-played. (Hope I don't get downvoted to hell!)
The CCP congress is next month. They have always cracked down on censorship before it.

Their 5-years plan for 2016-2020 is about transitioning from the basic industry to more advanced industry and services. They want more research, they want more IT. Chinese IT workers are very critical of the Great Firewall and depend on VPNs to do a lot of things.

I think many are realizing that the Firewall is a handicap, but it is also undeniable that it is a very useful political tool. They will have to put that into the balance in front of their will to innovate.

They are also moving toward global leadership. In ecology, in foreign relations, they are willing to take the leadership that US is leaving. After being largely dismissive of it, if enough international pressure builds up, they may realize that opening up will help them reach these goals.

Sadly, thanks in no small part to Trump, they are probably realizing how dangerous it is to let people vote in a place where medias are not controlled, so my bet is that we will see either some more voting or some more openness in information exchange, but not both.

> To be fair, things may even out since Western governments seem to be doing all they can to copy China's censorship and gov control.

USA is jailing more of its citizens than China. Even in absolute numbers. USA kills more non-citizens abroad than China. In EU we tend to side with USA anyway because it is a democracy but the last president had less votes than his opponent and is a white supremacist.

Understand that for most of the world, accepting USA as a good guy is already a hell of a compromise. Seeing China as acceptable is not more far-fetched.
I'm not sure. I honestly don't know if the assessment in the article is correct, but it seems to me the objective of a project like this isn't to change any minds but harden existing postions and prevent compromise. The impression I got was that the writer argues the Russian's goal in this operation was encourage more extreme political views in order to divide the American people and weaken national unity.
It's hard to compare India to any other country except for China. No other nation is of a comparable size. It's all well and good to say "well Japan, South Korea, Singapore did great after being devastated by war and depression and famine". Just like software, scale matters for national development.

Japan post-war still had the relative advantages of having been an advanced industrial nation pre-war, with all that that entails: educated population, knowledge of how to run industry and finance, culture of industrial entrepreneurship etc. Plus it got tons of help from the US getting back to its feet. Ditto for South Korea; US help to keep them from falling over to the Communists. Both nations are also relatively homogenous ethnically, religiously, and culturally.

Singapore is tiny: a city-state. It's half the population of metropolitan Mumbai and has 1/3rd higher GDP. If Mumbai was an independent city-state with immigration controls, we'd likely be talking about it as an up-and-coming Asian tiger.

I'm not downplaying any of these countries' achievements. They are tremendous and they've done very well for themselves. I'm just pointing out the context of their achievements and how that doesn't apply to India.

I think it's impossible to say India hasn't lived up to its full potential because we can't run history backward and forward like a simulation, change a thing here (eg. make India a liberal free-market economy in the 60s instead of a closed, socialist one) and see the difference. China is doing great now but they had to go through the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution on the way there. India is doing not-as-well but at least millions didn't die.

Went to upgrade an iMac and an MBP to High Sierra today. The iMac took well over an hour. The MBP is the first Mac since my LC back in 1990 to be bricked during an OS upgrade. While I should be praising Apple for that kind of track record, I'm not exactly thrilled. I mean, it's not just a restart-and-try-again, it's a flat out "WTF do I do now?" bricking.

> own "industrial revolution / doesn't seem to scale well / it's inefficient / improvements are [..] cost prohibitive / that parent pay for / can't we reward the best / We need tech / scale the classroom / deliver it cheaply / separation of concerns

I'm not disagreeing that it's a good idea to always look for ways to improve schools. But i'd like to point out that you're framing these issues in almost exclusively economic terms.

I fear a future where we've reduced schools to one or two easy-to-measure metrics. In fact that's almost exactly what No Child Left Behind's obsession with standardised testing has already done: measuring each teachers' and schools' individual performance and incentivising "high performers". Those tests are even standardised across regions, or even nation-wide, just as you're asking for.

I also don't think the problems you point are real, or new, or relevant: yes, a good teacher doesn't usually "scale". But why does everything have to scale? Good teachers create a connection to their students that usually cannot be carried over TCP/IP, and i have never seen technology used in schools that came close to the effect of an outstanding teacher.

The only realistic path to "scaling" their skills is by understanding the factors that allowed them to become role models inspiring their students, and trying to replicate them.

No, there hasn't been any hard evidence that records were manipulated (AFAIK). But I don't see how our response should be substantively different knowing they altered records vs. just having had access to the databases.
I wouldn't use WhatsApp or Wechat or any of these spyware apps.

The Chinese government isn't taking something away (privacy, freedom) because it was never granted. Therefore I say "no harm". If the people want these rights, they will have to reform their government.

This kind of policy definitely hinders China's long term innovation. But in this specific case, wechat is way ahead of what'sapp in terms of innovation and utility.
I'm in a relocation in China for the past 2.5 years, and it was obvious this is coming since they released end to end encryption back in 2016.
China is not a democracy, surveillance is one of the most important issues in China (see link), and allowing their citizen to talk outside of their reach of surveillance is unacceptable.
Wechat - the so-called Whatsapp + Facebook all-in-one app (Wechat can be the only app on your phone) is a 1) fantastic app and extremely innovative, Many things to learn from it in the west. 2) perfectly demonstrates how the Chinese government pushes for centralization, for the sake of government supervision.

> It's much harder to create these derivatives without easy access to free flowing data.

The data is free flowing enough within China though - that's the bigger point ;)

It's not as if you turn off the access to Western information* and suddenly you've got a room full of Chinese developers and entrepreneurs awkwardly twiddling their thumbs - there's enough critical mass within Chinese markets to create the kind of 'daily innovation' without much input from outside.

Genuinely, massively disruptive innovation has always crossed over, and will continue to do so unless something drastically worse happens with censorship/politics.

*EDIT: plus blocking WhatsApp won't actually restrict meaningful foreign information crossing the borders - all it will do is make it difficult for dissidents to hide their online conversations, and piss off Chinese business people who need WhatsApp to converse with foreign clients.

This is a very insightful article. Our website revolves around Chromebooks, Chrome OS etc. Our browser stats, obviously, heavily favor Chrome. Regardless the platform, our Chrome usage in any given month is around 85-90%. Global statistics have their place but not here.
This kind of policy hinders China's innovation in the long term. But in this specific case, wechat is way ahead (years ahead I would say) of what's app in terms of innovation or utility.

Triplebyte (YC S15) Is Hiring Account Managers
Triplebyte has built a credentials blind process for evaluating engineering skill and helping companies hire great people from any background. The result has been helping companies hire great people they would have passed on at the resume screening step. At a recent CTO summit, senior engineering executives and leaders from over 160 companies including Apple, Google and Slack said:

_"Triplebyte has garnered a following. It's a service that helps candidates take coding quizzes that qualify them to connect with a number of jobs. As an employer, there's an advantage, because you only have to pay per hire you actually make."_

We're hiring Account Managers to help us with on boarding new companies and then being their point of contact as they start receiving candidates through the platform. We have a lot of data on how to optimize your hiring process and we're looking for someone who is comfortable with numbers and taking an analytical approach to advising our companies.

It'd be an especially good fit for anyone who wants to build relationships with lots of technology companies. You'll be working directly with the CEO who focuses on company account management and happiness.

We care less about specific background (you don't need to have worked in recruiting though having some understanding of what recruiters and hiring managers do will help) and more about your relationship building and analytical thinking skills.

The full job description is here: https://jobs.lever.co/triplebyte/a8647ccf-83e3-4f48-b9be-d39...

There's a lot of buzzwords like classroom flipping floating around in education.

Part of the issue is the subject matter experts (teachers and instructors) are not up to speed on the capabilities of technology, some even fear being replaced, when the real goal is having the same teachers reach more students more effectively.

Education budgets rarely increase.

On a similar note, I wonder how much money the Chinese government could make if they used the method they used to DDoS Github [0], but instead to load crypto-coin mining JavaScript onto every Baidu user's computer?

Then again, that seems like one of the fastest ways to make the average citizen actually angry at the Great Firewall.

Whoever told you that was lying to you.

Mainland elites have been very clear since the 90s that they want the economic benefits of markets but not democracy. They've explicitly said they don't want democracy. There is widespread consensus on this issue.
