How does government accountability sound like in China?
This should be a management problem - why is it a government problem? Basically you are saying that your capital structure incentivizes managers to value short term gain over long term costs and so you would like to short circuit that with government intervention. However, when a government intervenes, it will never really leave you alone :-)

To give people a heads up. There has been a huge amount of drama in the Bitcoin space, and this is related to the individual known as Craig Wright.

Craig Wright made a bunch of claims a couple years ago, that he was Satoshi. He released a bunch of "proof" that was proven false.

Recently, he created a new crypto coin callee bitcoin Satoshi's Vision.

This new post is almost certainly another fake attempt by Craig to claim that he is Satoshi.
The difference is pretty crazy. In the Netherlands, where I live, you can't use a credit card in most supermarkets, due to the extra transaction costs. The one chain that does accept credit cards charges an extra 50 cent if you pay with credit card.

Debit cards are the standard way of paying for stuff, and are accepted everywhere. For online shopping credit cards are used a bit more often, but payment through online banking is a lot more common.

I guess in practice the system is a bit like credit cards, because it is relatively easy to have a negative balance on your checking account. There are no overdraft fees, you just pay interest on the negative balance.

Credit is determined by a lack of a 'BKR registration', which keeps track of both existing loans and payments that you missed for previous loans. If you have no 'BKR registration', you can get approved for a mortgage, a loan or a credit card, provided you meet the income criteria.

Nothing is gained by not staying out (aside from money in Google's pockets, of course). I'm not sure how Google's expected to "improve those people's lives" while still being subject to China's rules around censorship and surveillance.

Serious question, but shouldn't grievances like this be taken up with the elected/appointed officials?
> Nothing is gained by staying out

If a lot of companies decided to refuse to follow China's oppressive methods (and thus making life slightly worse for some of the people of china) it might slightly push the residents of china towards revolting and gaining more freedom.

This is all theoretical of course, I doubt that anything like that could happen in real life.
> if anything, the tariffs have made those bulk-import goods more expensive

right, so, i guess i'm wondering more about physically compact, relatively expensive products that an individual might buy in China and bring back and sell at a lower price than it's officially available for from tariff paying retailers. i'm sure this is going on a lot now, but i wonder if it might increase in the near future.

Replacing sedans with wagons or hatchbacks would be reasonable, if it existed across the product line. But most of the midsize and larger wagons are unavailable.

If I have five adults/teenagers to fit, there is no hatchback/wagon option that seats them comfortably. I can either spend $30k on a minivan, $30k on a larger SUV, or $22k on an Accord/Optima/Camry size sedan. If they'd box the back of that sedan and sold it as a wagon, I'd buy it.

This also assumes that ride height is not an anti-feature. if you've got elderly or disabled passengers, they aren't hiking themselves into an SUV.

I never said they were highly desirable or that GM doesn’t want to sell them. It’s normal for different people to have different opinions.
No matter whether you agree with them or not, asking someone to sear their conscience is one of if not the most corrosive things you can do to them and to humanity at large. The author probably didn't mean it quite that way, but that's what this post is asking of googlers.

Don't do that.
But even those people - as I just described - can still find immense benefit in owning something bigger than a sedan.
It's bad/sad that there are over a billion people living under such censorship that github.com still being accessible is a truly worthy accomplishment.

I think it's a real concern that Github might start censoring because China is able to exert pressure on Microsoft, just look at bing.
Glad to see that Hacker News is willing to listen to the people actually affected by this decision.
Revolution would kill tens of millions, minimum.

Compared to that, continuing to enjoy the greatest rise in living standards in human history doesn't look half bad.
Oh certainly, the scale is significantly different. I think that the rei-ification of IPR just isn't understood the same way culturally, the "crime" is not taken in the same sense the effect on Chinese economy and polity is taken. Much the same as the Russians for much of the 20th century: must catch up is like a joker card mentality. Except of course as long as you steal IPR, you can't catch up in real sense.

Dave Ramsey has encouraged millions of his followers to do the same ("indeterminable" score"). For the most part, it is not that much of a problem. Even home mortgages can done through manual underwriting.

The biggest pain point seems to be car rentals as they seem to have constantly shifting and strange rules about whether and when they accept debit cards. The next seems to be car insurance discounts as insurers seem to have strangely connected your driving risk with your credit score.
The problem with this logic is that it treats the malevolent dictatorship as a given. If you believe that there will be concentration camps, dissident crackdowns, and absolute censorship in China forever, this is a reasonable position.

If you believe there is any hope for the Chinese people, foreign entities should focus on aiding the regime and the political status quo as little as possible, hypothetical ad business improvements or not.

Was Bitcoin meant to be an enduring project?

I mean, I get that a lot of people see it that way, but it's always struck me as giving off an experimental vibe. Presumably an enduring solution to something as fundamental as a monetary system should have stronger design principles. By contrast, Bitcoin feels more like a prototype/demonstration of blockchain technology mixed with a social experiment.

Because people at google need promotions and launches are one of the few good ways to get them.
The negative consequences are that Google are the best at cataloguing and searching information. This expertise can now be leveraged by the Chinese government to search for dissidents.

Edit: Do you honestly think that once the Chinese government has some leverage over Google (because they now make a portion of their revenue from the Chinese market) they wouldn't use that to get additional concessions?

As an example, Chinese citizens can still access Google if they can connect through an outside VPN. Google may be able to identify such users through cookies, reCaptcha or another Google tracking technology. What if China asked Google to censor results for Chinese users using VPNs too?
Your argument would make sense if ending DragonFly would end the Great Firewall too.

I'm concerned that a company like Intel, makers of some of the most valuable IP in the world, decided to invest in a foreign country instead of it's own when a company like Amazon -- which has great IP but don't get me wrong the Chinese have an equivalent (Alibaba) was able to scoop up prime real estate in NYC and DC.

Now Intel has a lot manufacturing based in the US, like I said Congress passed a law to make that happen. But have we looked into why we're allowing Foxconn to get tax breaks to build in "heartland" America but not Intel? An iconic American name?
Too bad. Unfortunately for the Chinese people, we don't want our major tech companies actively developing authoritarian solutions which could likely be used on us one day.

I do. Software isn't my progeny or legacy. It is the tools in my workshop. If I can use one tool to do the work of five, I'll gladly downsize to declutter and simply my life.

Finding self-worth in the longevity of tools is an emotional anti-pattern.
Thanks for the feedback! Definitely something I have to think about.
Alexis, have you guys worked directly with the city to fast track your ADUs from a permitting standpoint? We’re now converting a garage in LA after a brutal time with historic review (mostly) and planning/dbs (less so).

Also to confirm what Alexis is saying about LA... We’re in the middle of our project and though we’re doing it on the cheap it’s mid 200’s per foot. Can easily see how it could be double that.

The necessary song and dance to start a process that in a year and change will cost Google a "record fine".

That what happens when the unofficale mandate is to counter the success of US tech companies in the eurozone: first endow the commission with broad enforcement powers, then pursue every frivolous complaint.

Come to think about it I've built an image search engine recently, maybe I should lodge a complaint about Google for their images "vertical" search function. This whole thing is ridiculous.
I honestly read the book just because I consider myself an autodidact and student of human nature and it sounded interesting. While reading I realized that the traditional psychotherapy I’d done since my mother’s suicide was mostly just a way to cope with the tragedy rather than to heal from it (coping is still better than nothing though IMO).

I’d say it’s still worth reading to better understand the people around you who seem to act in almost objectively “illogical/irrational” ways, even when presented with better solutions. Even though such behavior is typically self-destructive, this book helped me to see the “logic” of it (Eg some obese women are obese because they were abused as children and they unconsciously overeat/eat junk food to make themselves fat and unattractive to potential abusers, so without resolving that issue no amount of healthy nutrition knowledge will help them, they’ll always regress).

It’s also given me more empathy for those around me, instead of feeling like they’re doing things “to me” I’ve been able to keep the bigger picture in mind and realize that people mistreating you is typically just a sign that they have unresolved issues themselves (that doesn’t mean you just let it happen without saying anything, but the increased empathy helps me handle the situation better).
I really love Atom over any editor I’ve ever used in the past, but damn it can be slow, so I hope this update addresses some of that. I mostly use it for writing code because of the extremely intuitive editing features, advanced regex, and beautiful syntax highlighting. However it can’t handle really large files like logs and such because it tries to prase everything and consumes tons of memory. For that nothing seems to beat Notepad++ on Windows (written in C!). One thing to remember is that Arom is an Electron app and as such is essentially a browser application, which sadly could never be as fast as a native app.
It’s a ridiculous rhetorical rebuttal without ever mentioning the dystopian motives of the entire Chinese tech industry puppetted under the Xi Jingpin’s vision. From Baidu to Tencent, everyone is in bed with the government.

Weak arguments are covered up with emotional rhetoric about deaths and such.

Please do not respond to my comment about “what about US Federal agencies in bed with the FANG”. Before we discuss, China is not even on the same ballgame. It’s not the same sport. It’s like going to another planet where your entire identity is linked to your cellphone number. I visit China multiple times a year and without WeChat, I can’t do anything. On HN, I often see comparisons to the US and the west but it’s just shifting the discussion somewhere else. US has democracy, open and fair justice system and I can sue the government, I have Miranda rights, freedom of speech and the whole American dream enchilada. It’s still alive despite of the shit president and it is here to stay. Negativity against the US is rampant here.
wait. why would Google be any more capable of stopping ads for fraudulent medical equipment or treatments in China than Baidu is?

is the implication that somehow Google would know more about the fraudsters than Baidu does?

I think the Gmail redesign (which is a huge resource hog) and Google Meet (hangouts video replacement) were released in the last year or so.

I'm not too hip on Google products, so there's probably more that I'm missing.
Sure, and right now Baidu is doing that for them. Baidu is likely not as good at it as Google, but Baidu is also much more likely to comply willingly. Google can drag their feet and build low quality censorship/anti-privacy tools for the Chinese government, and simply say "sorry it's the best we could do".

By abdicating that responsibility to an actor like Baidu, who is much more aligned with the Chinese government, they make the problem worse. By agreeing to their demands, and then doing the shittiest job possible of complying, they actually have a lot more power and influence.

> Edit: Do you honestly think that once the Chinese government has some leverage over Google (because they now make a portion of their revenue from the Chinese market) they wouldn't use that to get additional concessions?

Yes, but that's a two way street. Chinese citizens will come to rely on Google search, and will be unhappy when its taken away. So both sides become enmeshed.
Yes, they might do this.

I am confused as to why you think this is a bad thing. I think it would be an amazing development that would only help engineers to get paid more.

If these nich fields aren't able to afford to pay engineers the market salary, then I say screw them. They deserve the negative consequences.

Nothing would make me happier than for employers who are underpaying people, to be punished.
There’s a big difference between Google making data available to the Chinese government, which is what Dragonfly would do, and Google making their expertise at cataloguing and searching information available to the Chinese government, which has not been reported.

The only information that the Chinese government would have access to from Google is info they already have from Baidu.

>Compared to that, continuing to enjoy the greatest rise in living standards in human history doesn't look half bad.

This is extremely poor reasoning. An overall "bad" thing does not become "good" or justified because it has improved conditions in some way. By the very same token, slavery has both good sides and bad sides, and by your dismissive style, we ought not to consider the bad sides - the slaves should continue to enjoy the greatest rise in living standards (having food and shelter provided by the master) and the slave owners should continue to enjoy the greatest rise in profits in human history - isn't it clear that everyone wins?

What is even more ironic is that for China, a state which claims to be Communist, is being supported by your argument which was specifically repudiated by Marx in criticizing Proudhon for exactly the view you are expounding!

>The good side and the bad side, the advantages and drawbacks, taken together form for M. Proudhon the contradiction in every economic category. The problem to be solved: to keep the good side, while eliminating the bad. Slavery is an economic category like any other. Thus it also has its two sides. Let us leave alone the bad side and talk about the good side of slavery. Needless to say, we are dealing only with direct slavery, with Negro slavery in Surinam, in Brazil, in the Southern States of North America.

>Without slavery North America, the most progressive of countries, would be transformed into a patriarchal country. Wipe North America off the map of the world, and you will have anarchy – the complete decay of modern commerce and civilization. Cause slavery to disappear and you will have wiped America off the map of nations.

>What would M. Proudhon do to save slavery? He would formulate the problem thus: preserve the good side of this economic category, eliminate the bad.

I will also note that your immediate dismissal of revolution is historically shaky at best, as great advances in history and freedom were gained from revolution - of both country (France, America, many wars of independence, Germany) and economy (the bourgeois revolution in means of production). Just remember this:

>If money, according to Augier, “comes into the world with a congenital blood-stain on one cheek,” capital comes dripping from head to foot, from every pore, with blood and dirt.
I get that. But the timing is interesting, no? Just a day or two before the ning post. That suggests to me that somethings up.

They were making utilitarian arguments, notably the famous trolley one.

Dragonfly catalogues and indexes searches for dissident topics, linking them to the searcher's phone number. Literally a search engine for dissidents.

It's pretty clear that the question is whether a thing is good on balance. We all agree slavery is bad on balance. China, on the other hand, who has authoritarian policies, but has simultaneously lifted billions of people out of extreme poverty, is much more mixed.
Ahhh yes, the 'we're in the dystopian dictatorship so deep that it's too big to fail' argument.

There's always a human cost to revolutions. That doesn't justify supporting and perpetuating one of the biggest threats to freedom in the entire world.
I don't know anyone outside of tech who would care about RCS being tied to phone numbers, being offered through the carrier, or having a delay.

1. No, but you have a much better chance of actually bringing change if you're in there, than if you leave it on its own.

2. Almost every single Chinese citizen I've spoken to is for this project. I find it a bit ironic that all the opposition is from Westerners who love to feel outraged in their place and assume they know what's best for others. Why not let them decide what they want for their country, rather than shoving your ideals on them? You're not the one who has to live without dozens of Google services that only have shitty alternatives, they are.
