Why is it unethical to launch a censored search product in China?

The alternative isn't to launch an uncensored search product. That's not possible. The alternative is simply to not be there.

How do the Chinese benefit from that?

It seems to me that the presence of any international company could only act as a wedge to gradually loosen censorship controls over time.

If Google is more restrictive than other search engines, this does not do any harm, since the other options still provide the less restricted results, meaning the exact same amount of information that is currently available to people in China will continue to be available, and will not be affected by Google's entry.

If Google is less restrictive, well then that's a win for the Chinese people.

This means that the entry of any search engine into China, restricted or not, is at worst neutral and at best good for the Chinese.

Looks like you got downvoted a bit, but I heard the same dog-whistle reading this comment. ng12's comment history seems relatively reasonable, but some definite strong opinions leading in that direction - particularly around gamergate, and suggesting its fine to teach a dog to give a Nazi salute, etc.
>It seems to me that the presence of any international company could only act as a wedge to gradually loosen censorship controls over time.

this was the justification to the more lenient treatment of china with international trade deals, it has gone nowhere, all that has happened it is has economically empowered china to become a lot more troublesome on the world stage, while they have not liberalized in virtually any way.

The presence of Google legitimizes and empowers the state level control of information that the CCP does at a massive scale, it does exactly the opposite of "acting as a wedge to gradually loosen censorship"

Should be noted that China is a country, that right now as we speak, is putting an entire ethnic group in concentration camps, 1 million+ people and more coming in an attempt to "reeducate them" and stamp out their culture.

Mmm. I’m not sure I’ve ever noticed those particular things. The Mac experience just feels like amazing craftsmanship somehow. Could it be that because they sometimes push the envelope a bit in terms of design or technology that in every generation of macs there are 1-2 items/areas that could be better?

Majority of people attach themselves to a viewpoint based on either emotions or because someone they trust and respect told them so. And once they do, they can't separate themselves from their views. If you try to attack their beliefs, they take it as affront to themselves. When that happens, no amounts of facts will change their mind. Instead they will just shut you out and their beliefs will now be more firm.

I would love to tell you an alternative approach, but I don't know of any.

I have just given up. I just nod and say ok or change the topic. It's not my job to change people's minds.

I think the reaction is much better than the reaction we saw out of Facebook about a leaked internal memo earlier this year.
Google got an edge in hiring when they deployed their “don’t be evil” mantra, but the long-term result is a workforce that’s leaning heavily left and in many ways dictates what the company can or must do. And I doubt they can ever undo this - hiring is performed by the people already on the inside.

This had to make me laugh a little bit. Jaron Lanier actually designed this UI to intentionally be unusable and bad, because the film was described to him at the time as a Dystopian film, so he designed a computer interface to be equally dystopian. Yet, the effects look so cool, that people actually thought it was a good idea
Understandable. I've found that I neither have the drive nor time (busy software developer) to create my own playlists and workout plans. I greatly respect instructors who do that week in and week out!

I find what LM puts together to generally be pretty good. I also teach their BODYPUMP and CXWORX formats (used to teach GRIT as well). By experience, I've learned that to keep class participants happy, it's best to rotate material every 2–3 weeks. That keeps me and them from getting too bored of a workout, but also allows them time to master technique and discover areas in which they can push a little harder. LM publishes new stuff every 3 months, and I've built up substantial catalogs of quarterly releases, so it works out pretty well.
I'm more interested in that Bakkt platform, which would apparently help trade and convert crypto <-> fiat in a way reliable enough for Starbucks to use it.

Graphics drivers.

My System76 laptop, pre-installed with customized Ubuntu, needs to be rebooted just to switch between Nvidia and Intel GPU if you want power savings (external monitors are directly wired to Nvidia chip).
>so I think I'll have an opportunity to try out a Linux laptop again soon, but I'm more dreading than looking forward to it. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Current crop of laptops aren't particularly good. They are all plagued by various thermal issues due to the quad-core CPUs in ultrabook form factors. Even thinkpads have suspend resume issues right now. Avoid the thin ones. Avoid nvidia. Save some money, and go with something a bit older.

This always comes up in these threads. There are very good reasons not to short things, even if you think they are a house of cards. It's a strongly negative EV trade, on average, share borrowing costs will eat you alive if your timing is off, limited upside+unlimited downside, "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent", etc. Most people should not try to time the market. That doesn't mean their opinions are invalid.

This could have precedent for other markets, no? Countries would demand google censor themselves the way they did for China.
I think there are 2 ethical arguments in your message:

a) Someone's going to the bad thing anyway, so the world won't be worse off if it's us

b) I'll join the wrongdoing organisation in doing the bad things and affect change from within the cooperation framework

I think a) is quite hard to defend philosophically. We don't generally excuse a member of an actor just because the bad thing was done as a member of a group, either in everyday life (think raising kids) or in national law, or in international law.

b) would need a clearer and bigger counter-badness component with "the lesser evil" to even be arguably defensible, even then being a pretty dark shade of realpolitik.
Huawei Declares Ambition to Be No.1 After Dethroning Apple
Using a Gameboy as a computer for an appliance sounds like a quirky solution, but I can see a lot of similarity with products sold today. For example, many new effect pedals for guitar have an accompanying Android/iPhone app, which connects via Bluetooth and controls the settings of the effect. The problem it's solving is a bit different: the pedal has room for a small computer in it, but not for a screen. Effectively, it's using the smartphone as a screen to save on cost and space.
Thanks for laying this out. This challenges the conventional wisdom that somehow Google not entering China will lead to less censorship.

It's going to be difficult for you to get a junior-level job if recruiters think you are senior. You'll be competing with new grads who got out of college in June.

I think your best course of action is to spend time preparing for interviews and take any that you can get. Part of this preparation includes learning the popular JS frameworks, but a lot of companies need PHP developers too.

Hopefully you will interview well, but if you don't, word doesn't "get around" between companies as much as you think -- they are afraid of being sued if they talk about why they passed on a candidate.

There are other upsides to interviewing, even if you fail. One is that you get some practice. Another is that you got your foot in the door, and even if you weren't suited for a job you interviewed for, someone at the company might know of another opening that is a better fit.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you should get in touch with any connections you have in tech, such as old coworkers, and let them know you are looking for a job. A personal reference is by far the best way to get your foot in the door.

Well if you are not confident with you own analysis why preach it to others then. If you are going give excuses that the markets are irrational then you should not give opinions about things you are not confident about.

That’s great for someone watching over your sholder eg if you’re doing a product demo but less good if you’re on your own. There it just slows you down when you want to move on to the next task.
Wow I remember Kilobaud April 1979, that introduction to Quicksort with examples in BASIC, copying it down to carry around with me in a little notebook. Shell-Metzer was also popular at the time. I had a TRS-80m1(Z80) and Kilobaud was like a bible.
Oh it absolutely would. Most chat clients let you “buzz” another user in the 90s. And Amazon times the movement of its warehouse workers down to the second already. You will see this at a least one major Western company by the end of the year, I’ll wager.
This. Don't follow the advice of "Learn {X} new technology". In this day and age, a new language, framework, etc show up every 3 minutes. You may be a bit rusty, but stick to what you know for now. Maybe start a blog about your situation and what you're doing to get back in the game. There are definitely jobs out there that need your skills. Job hunting is usually a numbers game, so keep sending out resumes.

First we acknowledged our mistakes (deleted authors) and apologized, especially to the authors who contributed to the Tinkerpop, Titan and JanusGraph projects. We will restore author and copyright information as soon as possible. It must be clarified that this is an unintentional loss, and it is by no means intentional.

The HugeGraph project began as an internal project developed to address the needs of the company's security department，based on JanusGraph. Our conventions for development were not adding author information, which may not be a good habit. To be consistent, we deleted all the author information in internal project.

With efforts to improve, HugeGraph is getting better and better, and supporting many projects within our company. We are from open source and we are eager to give back to open source. We chose to make HugeGraph open source. HugeGraph is a comprehensive graph database project with ten subprojects covering every aspects. Unfortunately, we missed this problem in the tedious preparations before open source. But it is by no means intentional. Such as the graphdb-benchmark project, it is based on open source, and then modified, the author information is restored before open source. The author information in the hugegraph subproject has been forgotten to recover, which is undoubtedly a mistake in our work. But we do not intend to do so and will resume as soon as possible.

Open source is an equal exchange of technical personnel around the world, and we welcome everyone to criticize and correct. If we find problems, telling them and helping them in time is better, rather than using other people's mistakes to harm them, even their nation which is not a purely skilled engineer should do.

Thanks to Tinkerpop, thanks to Titan, and thanks to JanusGraph! We hope to work with you to create a better open source environment.

I've been freelancing/contracting for a while now. I really enjoy fixing/improving existing web apps more than creating something from scratch. Looking to offer maintenance-only service to small-ish teams. The benefits I see are:
1. In-house devs will be free to work on new projects rather than fixing old issues

2. I can offer off-hours maintenance so this might be helpful in some cases

3. Team augmentation - fill in for a dev if they are unavailable (eg. vacation)

5. Same timezone availability(EST/PST work hours)and quick turnaround

6. Available by email, slack, phone

No it doesn't. The requirements are Android 5.0, and can support something as weak as the Motorola E4 Plus[0]. And as someone who maintains a decently popular app on that platform, you'd be surprised how many former flagships (the Google Pixel in particular) still remain on Android 7.x (my wild guess is so that they can keep the old Google Now launcher) which does not have the selective permissions that come with Oreo.

You can very rationally simultaneously believe you're right about the future and not want to make a bet on it in the market - you need to not only be right, but right at very close to the right time, unless you're going long.
