> it matters what the Chinese government is like

that is just a cheap excuse repeatedly used in almost all high tech areas -

1. because the Chinese government is bad, China is not allowed to join projects like the international space station.

2. because the Chinese government is bad, allowing China to have access to any semiconductor techs from the west is not acceptable.

3. because the Chinese government is bad, exporting nuclear power station tech to China is now banned.

4. because the Chinese government is bad, Huawei's phones are banned, ZTE was not allowed to buy any US made parts.

5. because the Chinese government is bad, Alipay's acquisition of MoneyGram was banned.

6. because the Chinese government is bad, Chinese universities working on China's weapon programs are banned from buying DELL desktop computers.

when US banned exporting any high tech product to China, what to do when there is a trade imbalance? get Trump into the whitehouse, cry hard for the unfairness in trade!

give me a break, please come back with some better excuses.

I used to pay for GSuite and still found my content being mined. With all due respect to Google, I find it hard to believe that they're as consistent as they believe with filtering paid vs free accounts across the service.

I could be, and am open to being, wrong, though. I'm not Google. Just found myself with substantially less targeted advertising once I left.

And actually that's slightly interesting - how does one determine a bug re: being the recipient of targeted ads when you shouldn't be? Probably wording it wrong without coffee in me, but I hadn't thought of it like that.
I think this has more to do with a "social safety net" than minimum wage. Immigrants often come to the U.S. knowing other immigrants who are already here. This network of friends and family help them get on their feet. They have a community of people to help them when funds are tight. A couch to sleep to on if you can't make rent, an extra plate at dinner if you don't have enough for groceries this week. Many Americans, particularly those who wind up homeless, don't have any sort of safety net beyond what the government provides. Which is to say, almost nothing.

I've seen criticism online related to how soon the beta happened before release.

But gamers are such a childish (usually literally) and entitled bunch that I've noticed it's hard to take most of their criticism seriously about anything. The only criticism I've agreed with lately is the rise of lootboxes. Everything else just reminds me of a non-technical manager trying to tell developers how easy something should be because it was easy to write it down as a Trello card.

For example, there's a common meme on /r/gaming about how lazy/selfish Bethesda is by not include a single-player mode. As if it's some trivial undertaking. Same with Bethesda reusing its engine instead of "just" building a new one.

What gamers never seem to realize is that their demands are no different from the ideals of the developer. There probably isn't a single person at Bethesda who wouldn't want to work <40hrs/week incrementally improving the game to perfection for a few more years, or working on a cool single-player campaign with fresh ideas.

Meanwhile, criticism is easily squished when the financials come out. If enough gamers bought and enjoyed the game to make the venture profitable, then criticism is exposed as nothing but a wishlist, not as the damning evidence gamers like to think they're circle-jerking over.
It's hyperbole to say that Sanders is anywhere near the Venezuelan regime politically. He wants a single payer healthcare system like Canada.

I find that the structure of their documentation could use some work, but the actual language to be fairly good. And by good, I mean less bad when contrasted with most documentation.

To go off on a bit of a tangent, I'd prefer that documentation be split up into two parallel versions that are heavily linked but mostly separate:

- Code examples describing everyday usage

- Detailed API/system descriptions

AWS should do a better job on the former, although that'd be a massive amount of work for them at this point with little payoff. I find that I end up relying much more on Stack Overflow and even code from wrapper libraries to understand how to do relatively uncomplicated things with their API. In general, however, I'd prefer it that all documentation be more the former than the latter. I find that when I'm given everyday examples, that aren't hideously formatted on the webpage, I can get a better understanding much quicker and become far more productive.

Most documentation isn't good at either providing practical examples or actually explaining usage. I feel like there's a missing link between English-majors and software engineering; if there are English-majors who also understand programming, they should be paid handsomely to write documentation. But when do we ever see job postings for specialists in writing documentation? I've never seen such a job title.
I hope you share your opinion in person, loudly and unapologetic with all who will listen. Do not keep your beliefs and perspectives a secret. You deserve to be heard.

In fact, I would love to learn more about history from your perspective. Perhaps you can elaborate or share some literature that I can read at my leisure. Also, I'm curious to hear any opinions you may have on #metoo, or women in technology should you be willing to indulge me.

>During the interrogation, he said, it occurred to him that he had used his MetroCard on the bus and the subway, and he asked the police to check it. A detective took the card briefly, and then gave it back to him, and there was no further discussion about the card, he said.

The justice system doesn't seek justice, it seeks someone to blame so the statistics look good. How is it not a crime to waste taxpayer money on the wrong person when a detective's willful negligence leads to someone being illegally imprisoned? Taxpayers get to pay even more to rehabilitate the illegally imprisoned since they lose their jobs, and the real killer is meanwhile on the loose. If there was justice, the detective and prosecutors would be facing charges for wasting taxpayer money and wrongfully imprisoning someone, and be fired.

It would be a rather large figure, but I'd wager that superfluous video streaming (eg, video advertising, or youtube/netflix autoplaying to no audience) overwhelmingly dwarfs any bandwidth wasted on suboptimal update delivery.
Nobody can answer this with certainty for you. If they could, who wouldn't be pursuing the same thing?
I'm not sure what your contention is. Do you not believe the Chinese government to be corrupt, authoritarian, and/or oppressive?

I'm pretty comfortable with the idea that free societies should not economically support oppressive ones.
I have one of these; I got it specifically to read large PDFs on. I like it very much. The software has been a bit of a journey but broadly works. As a bonus you can ssh into it and screw around if you have the time or the inclination; there is a bunch of people who experiment with it. I just stick with the reading. It isn't backlit. But it is a beauty, having such a large e-ink screen is fantastic and being able to take notes/draw diagrams etc is great.

I am a Chinese citizen and all my education was in China, from kindergarten to grad school.

> China has cultivated in its people a very troubling mental complex centered on national pride and driven by the Century of Humiliation.

I’d say this is correct to a small extent — the history lessons in particular, took that stance when it’s covering contents about Chinese history from late Qing dynasty to the end of WW2. But the education also renders China as a peaceful nation, and the rise of China would benefit the entire world, which majority of the Chinese population agrees.

> To say they are fervent about righting the wrongs and perceived wrongs of the past is an understatement

It would be a correct statement if “righting the wrong” simply means “making China a great country again” so that “centuries of humiliation would never happen again”. Yes majority of Chinese citizens do have national pride, not unlike people any other country I’ve seen. Except maybe some extreme nationalists, most Chinese citizens would love to see China becoming stronger peacefully and be helpful to under-developed parts of the world.

> But I think our more diverse (talking about points of view, not race here) and more activist anti-racism voices are a tempering force that China lacks.

There are very little discussion about racism in China compared to US, simply because it’s less relevant. - Most Chinese don’t ever interact with a different race. But diversity in oppinions in other topics are very common. I’d say it’s virtually impossible to keep a billion citizens on the same page.

Just as an example, at the core of China’s “nationalism education” (don’t know what should I call it) is the anti-Japanese war which was part of WW2. Like South Korea, plenty of Chinese hate Japan for not acknowledging the war crimes they’ve done and trying to erase those facts from their history books. There had been several movement to boycott Japanese products in the past two decades. At the same time, Japanese culture actually have a huge influence in China, especially among young people. Japan is also one of the most popular foreign destinations Chinese people would love to travel to.

They're right, though.

If China were staying 'beneath' the west, like they're 'supposed to', we wouldn't have scare articles every week in the economist and the NYT, and we wouldn't have this comment at the top of the thread.

You're demonizing them as scary others and proving the point of hardliners there.
Does anybody know how good internal OpenJDK in Ubuntu will be supported by Canonical? Somehow I could not find any information about real support in the future. I heard of commitments from and for RedHat though.

Harleys aren't very reliable, but they are durable. The basic structure and mechanical parts are fairly robust and when something breaks it's easy to repair. So you see a lot of old ones still on the road.

I didn't mean that. At the time the medical company was separate from Google. Therefore the statement was intended to communicate the key point - we're not using your data for other stuff. This is the spirit of the declaration and the part that we should probably care most about.

The statement unfortunately has a secondary implied promise which Google has broken. But my point is that if we don't trust Google to keep the data separate then the initial promise was meaningless. And if we do then not much has changed.

If Google wanted to do bad things then they would have kept the companies separate to keep their promise superficially.

The wording was poorly thought out but unless you think the reorganisation is going to materially change Google's behaviour then I don't see it as hugely significant.
Even if your description was fully accurate, there's no cause of action against someone for lobbying for bad government policy, so other than a particularly expensive publicity stunt, I'm not sure what the point of such a suit would be.

Truth is, historically human civilizations has always been based on some kind of authoritarian rule, slavery, serfdom, etc. Democracy is just temporary anomaly created by the fact that during industrial revolution the need arose for mass education (to have factory workers that could read). Now that appropriate tech (online banking, smartphones with GPS tracking, AI, etc.) is in place the things will soon revert to the natural order, i.e. totalitarism.

Well, I guess since they have the entire Brussels apparatus imposing low-to-none tariffs on raw materials and prohibitively high ones on products competing with theirs[1], they could easily afford to be generous on minor things.

Just read the quote below and imagine how would a food-processing company from a third-world country ever be able to compete? (no way).

1. https://brexitcentral.com/eu-thousands-senseless-tariffs-pun...

"The tariff on orange imports is far from being the least justifiable of the EU’s many thousands of tariffs. Consider coffee. There are a number of different tariff schedules on coffee imports and the general idea underlying them is that raw materials get zero or very low tariffs, but the processed coffee imports that compete with EU coffee processors currently attract tariffs of up to 11.5 percent."

I finally got to PC Skyrim about 2 years ago and still ran into a game breaking bug in the main quest. It took me at least 5 hours of research, 2 mods, and a pile of console commands to bypass an event which wouldn't trigger.

From what I found it was a reasonably well known bug too.
I'm going to guess a lot of these are integration tests, not unit tests (simply going off execution time).

At that point, for DB testing, I doubt it matters what language test are written in, it's going to be mostly about setting up and tearing down the environment over and over.
I highly doubt your conclusion. You know what happens to smart Chinese people? They leave China. The comforts of capitalism and the cultural gravity of the West is too strong to overcome. They still don't even use toilets in much of the country and you're claiming they're going to invent AI, come on.

Don't get me wrong. They are not a nation of automatons, I am not calling them dumb or inferior. Just be real. They are making social progress, but they're still very far behind, and that pushes a lot of smart people out.
It's not Chinese people aren't aware of what the Chinese government is/has been doing. This is why natch's comments have received so many negative feedbacks. natch doesn't give any evidences to support his arguments. Instead, he just bluntly said that 'Slaughterbots would excite them' as if he has seen it in person. This is an insult on the intelligence and moral standard of Chinese student or common man.

I know what the Chinese government has been doing and I was born and raised in China. However, that doesn't make me the immoral, senseless and vengeful entity he is trying to portray in his comment.

I know it's easy to generalize a certain group of people with whatever you hear from the news or read on the Internet, especially if you've not had too much meaningful interactions with individuals from that group. So I don't blame him, as I was somewhat similar before I came to the US and get to know the US people.
