> Maybe engaging China is the first step to them opening up their society? Similar to the arguments against the Cuban embargo.

No. Them "engaging China" will not open up Chinese society, because Google will have to implement the exact same censorship regime that all the other Chinese sites do.

The Chinese government doesn't give a shit about Google's prestige in the West. They'll kick it out the second it gives them a little lip or is non-compliant with their demands. Google has zero power to change anything for the better.

Also, China has discredited the idea that capitalist engagement will cause liberalization. They've shown that an autocratic regime can have its capitalist cake and eat it too.

Keep in mind that Aristotelian logic did not stop with Aristotle. It kept developing through the Middle Ages and even into today. Now, it's called term logic. Fred Sommers made tremendous advances in expanding syllogistic logic into something more versatile than what Aristotle worked on.

I couldn't agree more. I find wikipedia to be the most terse and to the point way of consuming information (that is still accessible for me as a non-scientist). It's not always as current as I'd like but it's better than this. It would be nice if journalism could go back to being journalism.
While I find all of this stuff totally disturbing - claiming that you'd be lucky to see 10 seagulls at Kalaloch Beach is insane.

I used to live in Olympia and would visit Kalaloch/Ruby Beach on a monthly basis - even camped there a couple weekends ago. There are seagulls(and Bald Eagles, and even Pelicans) all around there to this day. I even have photographic evidence(shot on a medium format toy camera right in front of Kalaloch Lodge earlier this year): https://i.imgur.com/hMwDuXs.jpg

I'm not sure what these birds' patterns are wrt to collecting food but a cursory dig in my photos shows that I've captured pictures of anywhere from a handful to hundreds of birds on this strip of coast on different occasions over the course of the last year and a half or so.

"Neuroscience shows that that in our brains the neural circuits neither have nor need content to do their jobs."
Nothing about my question suggests Google wouldn't be able to continue to grow by focusing on the 80% of the world that isn't China.

China may be the lowest-hanging fruit of the search and ad market, but surely you're not suggesting Google would shy away from a challenge and only go for the easy win? That doesn't sounds like the Google we all know.
Why is having a censored google to easily compare with uncensored google a bad thing?

The danger isn’t simply that censorship exists, it’s that we won’t be able to tell what was censored.
The event-stream debacle shows to me how crazy it is that lessons we've known for literally decades seemed to need to be relearned by the Node community every couple months (and I say this as someone who is primarily a Node developer now).

Back in the early 00s I worked on a software build system (Java) that had to be able to guarantee reproducibility of past versions of builds for code escrow purposes, and to do that it needed to be able to run builds without a live internet connection to ensure we didn't have unintended external dependencies.

The fact that bitpay didn't lock down their version numbers of dependencies, and are thus at the whim of whatever changes upstream of them are gleefully picked up, is crazy, especially for a crypto wallet.
>As well as having ecosystem needs, each person has potential to be a supplier of ecosystem services.

What does "ecosystem services" actually mean?

The problem isn't the loss of some services. Humans who aren't willing to live like animals require an unnatural environment. By definition. Unless you construct that environment in a way that's 100% isolated from anything on Earth, it disrupts something in nature. Again, by definition.

Multiply this by 7.7 billion.

Now, factor in that humans are ultra-social and create global networks. This results in emergent world-wide phenomena.

"You'd think electric motor yard tools could be common by now ..."

Bosch and Dewalt have very high density battery power systems and they are using them for lawn tools - including normal push mowers. Other tool companies are quickly following suit.

Unlike past iterations, these tools really do have the power and longevity to do real work. To wit: my local volunteer fire department now carries a battery powered Dewalt chainsaw in one of our engines.

As for the embedded carbon cost in all of these new tools and batteries and the production pollution that is occurring "somewhere" ... an exercise for the reader.
In the same keynote this was announced, they said that one of their regions has reached nearly 5 Pbps of inter-AZ network capacity. They also poked at Google for using phrasing like "regions usually have independent cooling and power control planes". They clarified a common misconception: Regions aren't single datacenters, nor are AZs single data centers, and at least one of their AZs (probably a us-east-1 AZ) has fourteen datacenters.

If you want the Cheapest, go to DigitalOcean. AWS is engineering the Best. Why HN has this obsession with quibbling over a couple dollars while hosting their hobby projects on the same cloud provider that Epic Games and Netflix pay hundreds of millions of dollars to for their massive workloads, I'll have no idea. It's not made for you.

Amazon can get on stage and throw valid infrastructure resiliency complaints at Google. They can't do the same thing against DigitalOcean or Linode, because that'd be like Usain Bolt making fun of a toddler's quarter mile time.

I know you're being downvoted, but this sentiment toward AWS is exactly what will eventually kill it. Why should someone waste their life away learning the complexities of AWS? It's not a lasting addition to one's life like, say, learning biology or history or how to write. It's needless complexity that won't have any value in 15 years.

I find the way you phrase this super-alienating. If anything, it pushes me away from your cause.

1. Comes across as ad-hominem

2. Comes across as emotional/pedantic

3. For example, yes "pornography" is censored on broadcast TV, but many other things aren't. There are obviously degrees of censorship.

4. If your goal is to convince people that things are more censored than they realize you might want to cite some real world examples of political censorship that happened in America that support that point.

5. Your whole comment is pretty much irrelevant to the discussion at hand. Regardless of whether censorship is common or uncommon in the US, it's still meaningful to take a stance against creating a politically-censored search in China.
Uh, isn’t a censored google the best way to do an A/B comparison to find the information China doesn’t want its citizens to know?

This argument is backwards - Google isn't the one preventing Chinese people from using Google! Nobody has said that China isn't allowed to have Google except the CCP.

Google has already provided China with a product: uncensored search. If the Chinese (for the sake of argument, naively assuming that the CCP acts on behalf of its citizens) don't think that's what's best for China, fine. They don't have to use it.

The devices that aren't showing up aren't managed by apps. They're headphones and speakers. It seems I may have been in the wrong part of the settings app, as I've just now discovered that the area of settings labeled "Bluetooth" shows the device name and an option to pair a new device but doesn't show the currently paired devices. I thought my device name was just hidden.

There's a second separate settings page for "Pair new device" that shows currently connected devices and has the same option to pair a new device as the Bluetooth page. It doesn't let you control the current device's name, but it does have a weird link to a general connection preferences page that includes a link to the first Bluetooth one, as well as links to similar pages for NFC, Android Beam, Cast, Printing, Received files, and Chromebook.

I had a lot of trouble finding both of these pages, and the fact that these are two different settings pages does not help at all. They've really made this a lot more difficult and confusing in Android Pie.
This is what I hate about watching the Olympics. It is 30 minutes sappily listing every tragic event in an athlete's life, and 1 minute of competition.

As far as i understand, Rust is strongly typed, has generics and no type erasure. I also suppose String is some kind of a primitive type. Could it be possible to make it parametrizable, so we can manipulate a String<FirstName> as a String, but the compiler will never confound it with (for example) String<LastName>.
Art is good, therefore the choice of this vs that typeface is life-or-death? That doesn't follow, I'm afraid, and the quote is very uneconomical with words relative to the point its making.
From what I remember, when you say "block all connections by this program" on the relevant files it doesn't just use the filename, it tracks the exact version of the file, and as soon as windows update touches it your firewall block stops working.

So a whitelist method works, good, but I think it's fair to said that specifically blocking telemetry is extremely difficult with the way blacklisting works.

> do my pre-existing shares get lumped together

Not at all. You can buy and share on the public market. To sell stock options you need the approval of the payroll department (likely automated by some internal process/tool) because effectively they do a buy (options -> shares) and sell in one transaction for you.

> Am I now restricted in when I sell those shares

Only director or vice president level are restricted and even those only during certain timeframes around quarterly earning announcements. I used to work there but my knowledge on 2018 internal rules might be outdated.

So I am in a few years nearing 40, and I remembered when I first used a bluetooth headset, it was like seventeen years ago, so I was in my early 20s

Though it was (a tiny bit) more "magical" back then, pairing devices sucked then and still sucks.

Has anything even changed with how Bluetooth works?

Cause I keep giving Bluetooth new chances, "well it's X years later, and it still exists, surely they must have found a way to make it suck less"--and every time it's a disappointment. People still fiddling with pairing their devices, taking too much time, always at a most inconvenient moment (either in groups with everyone waiting and the device making funny noises, or when you're busy with the task Bluetooth was meant to free your hands for).

Did they fix or improve anything about Bluetooth over the years? Cause it feels to me the attitude has always been what you said: people should just get used to it better. Because what Bluetooth promises sounds like an awesome idea and why shouldn't we have that? But the reality is that it sucks too much and people aren't getting used to it.

To constrast with Bluetooth, I also remember when Wifi started to appear. It also used to suck a bit. It was often difficult to connect to, very unreliable, connections dropping, etc. You wouldn't want to have to rely on it for connectivity, so bring an Ethernet cable for your laptop, just in case. But nowadays, Wifi works brilliantly. You can bring your laptop for a presentation and safely depend on there being Wifi (or your/someone's phone mobile hotspot). Even older people can connect to new Wifi networks (at a restaurant or friends') without too much trouble. And that's including having to select the correct network manually and type in a password.

Ask yourself this: You're at a new place, there's a Wifi network you haven't used before, but you know the name and password. Also there is a Bluetooth device that you have never connected to before. Which of these are you most confident about you can connect to and use without trouble?

Why is this different? Did Wifi improve in significant aspects in the past two decades where Bluetooth didn't? Why is that?

I think we could fix this before it's too late. Anectdata, but I have my own yard, and a big chunk of it is now overgrown with strawberries (it basically looks like ivy, so the neighbors think it's fine). Insects love that patch of the yard. Combined with a handful of "wild" areas where I let the natives and wildflowers grow untended all season, my yard was swarming with fireflies, June bugs, butterflies, random pollinators I've never seen before and the occasional chipmunk.

None of my neighbor's yards are remotely close to the biodiversity I have. My neighbors all spray for weed and mosquito control. If we mandated that a certain portion of our green spaces had to be reserved for insect and bird life, if we mandated a certain portion be meadows, basically, unsprayed, untreated, untouched, I think it'd go a long way to improving things.
I agree, though I'm in my early 20's.

As someone who lived most of his life in a dictatorship, I really struggle to understand the logic of these employees. I was actually surprised Google stepped out of China a couple of years ago and felt like the decision was taken by a bunch of people who don't understand what it's like to live in a non-democratic country.

Do they think that everybody in China cares that their internet is censored or that they're being watched? I'm pretty sure if there was a poll conducted inside China to choose between censored Google vs no-Google almost everybody would choose censored Google.

It's not like a person who's opposing the Chinese government online is going to be using Google without a secure connection anyway. For the rest, you're providing a service that is significantly better than what they're currently being offered.

But when the state was the US and the data it was trying to censor was from Wikileaks, Google (Schmidt) adopted a right wing stance and offered no help, and openly criticized Wikileaks like one would expect a defense contractor to do.

This absurd righteous indignation about China censorship is unbelievably hypocritical considering that nobody at Google tried to help Wikileaks shed light on US Government crimes.
One thing I wonder about when I see this is:

Back in the day the source code control systems I used (primarily CVS and Subversion but also others) would send a commit/checkin email that contained the _entire_ set of diffs.

As a development lead and manager I made it part of my daily routine to _read_ the checkin emails. Of course I couldn't read every last line of code, but I could certainly spot common mistakes such as checking in extra unrelated files inadvertently; changing tabbing/formatting in code that shouldn't have changed; and often I'd spot bugs in passing. This wasn't the formal code review process, but it kept me up to date on what was going into the repo and it allowed me to catch some basic and obvious errors.

Now, back to the future and GitHub and siblings don't do this. I suspect the reason is security : the desire to not have source code floating around in potentially insecure mailboxes.

However, for an OSS project the security concern is moot.

Reading this history of this attack I feel that had someone been reading commit emails that contained the actual code changed/added, it would have been easy to detect. As it is, the typical GitHub commit notification email tells you almost nothing. You have to click through a link to see the changes (which I'm guessing nobody did in this case).

> I think this whole discussion is extremely naive.

As in, every single comment in it states that censorship wouldn't exist if Google didn't cooperate with China on this? Or that there is just "censorhip" or "no censorship", without any further qualification or context?

That's clearly not the case, so what is this even in response to?
