Disclaimer: I'm a Chinese.

But I believe there's a mistranslation or misunderstanding about 'he was a foreigner, and he deserved it'. I perfectly understand this kind of things happens a lot in China, but it has nothing related to the concept of 'foreigner'. Chinese people are more likely to do the same to each other.

The word 'deserved' is obviously '该', which means, in this particular context, more like describing 'That is how things work, and he should not be so careless about other people' instead of being a foreigner is negative for local people or he should be punished by being a foreigner.

But which statement is true is that, where there is profit, there would be Chinese people doing it, despite if it's not ethical. There are a bunch of examples like gutter oil, gene edited babies etc.

As for the foreigner part, generally speaking, Chinese people are much, much more xenophile than xenophobia, at least to western people. Anyone has been to China can confirm this.
Most Chinese people would more gladly to lend a helping hand to a foreigner rather than other Chinese people because there is far less chance they would be scammed.

I don't know of any employer I've ever had that would be ok with me sharing strategic information.

Letting the press know of an upcoming product is a leak of strategic information.

Letting the press know that your company aids government repression of basic human rights is not a leak of strategic information.
It is a money laundering case. HSBC tipped off the US gov't to a transfer that was effectively made using a false identity, to a recipient that was on a sanctions list. The US has banking laws, just like China has. If Tim Cook goes to Bank of China on Nanjing Lu and lies to SAFE so that he can wire a lot of RMB out of China, then the Chinese authorities will apprehend him. It's not as mysterious as it is being made out to be. Maybe she will walk because she's a celebrity executive in China, and because her case has been spun to be all about competition between the US and China, but still: banking laws are banking laws, in the US, China, Hong Kong, Europe, you name it. If you don't want to be in danger of breaking them, don't use the banks in that country.

Those are all bad, however, if you turn them around to read "being able to not ...", they become good things. Being able to not retire or being able to not have kids are good things.

I understand, believe me. There's still a lot of suffering and misery in the world. We have far to go.

But there has been a pretty clear increase in standard of living, even if you consider that some people have long commutes in climate-controlled vehicles with comfortable seats and media devices at their fingertips, on their way to jobs where they earn a PPP-adjusted income that's historically and globally very high.

Think of the global decreases over the past century in starvation, disease, infant mortality, maternal mortality, illiteracy, accidental death, etc.

Things aren't perfect because they'll never be perfect, but that doesn't mean we haven't made progress overall.

But the difference here is there's not choice. There's plenty of people who want kids or want to retire, but can't because the job market is garbage due to artificially increased labor supply and thus they are forced to live hand to mouth
So many old 32 bit VST instruments trapped on Windows. Most 64 bit DAWs will bridge them, but they're never going to see a port with the new Linux SDK. You can run Windows VSTs on Linux with various WINE-based solutions, but they take a huge performance and stability hit.
Personally I think facial recognition is a sign of an underlying problem - evidentary standards and liability. We have already had people effectively murdered by bad evidence from win seeking prosecutors taking any sort of psuedo-science voodoo they can get like bite mark analysis. False positives of any sort like from facial recognition should be no different. Similarly AWS thinks that many members of congress are already in jail. Something that bad had no place being sold.

I could see holding the providers liable for bad detection a good precedent for calibrating caution in a rational way although it is a bit 'eye for an eye' for societal liking. Having something which if it recognizes a face 60% of the time saying "Hi John" to Bob isn't a liability to anyone - really just amusement. Locking someone out of their apartment and causing them to need to call a locksmith because they got a bloody noise and facial recognition doesn't work any more is low stakes. Having someone potentially jailed for a long time would bring the intervals of confidence appropriately tight if say the prosecutor were at risk of death row or 300 consecutive years sentencing. We would see people very reluctant to work in forensics or prosecution if that were the case.
I’m sure that there is someone at google working on an AI solution for this. And I’m not even joking
Yeah but ip, and ls, and cat /etc/somefile.conf, and pretty much anything asides from curl don't output structured data so you can't use jq on it.

Google is a jumbled mess of multiple pieces of software, and you get access to none of them, only a search service, and it is loosely defined. Also Google isn't particularly good at anything nowdays, except maybe NLP. Their ability to deliver good results is only a result of massive spying. Many researchers would be able to provide software 10x as useful as that of Google given access to the same data.

Imagine a pre-SaaS Google:
You get a few of LTO tapes delivered to your doorstep.
They include an index of every website in existence, it's owner/creator, a short description of what it is, and a number of semantic flags.

Moreover, you'd probably get a list of all identified businesses there are in every country, region and industry with their contact information and website addresses.

Imagine what you could do with that...
We need to switch from bond-backed money to UBI-backed money or cryptocurrency (or both). Hereby I explain how UBI-backed money would work:

How money flows
- UBI is no-strings attached and provided from both fresh* and recycled money
- Taxes continue as usual
- Monetary supply is controlled by amount of government wages and UBI. Demand is controlled by amount of taxes.
Assumptions
- Everyone except civil servants get equal amount of BI
- civil servants get a wage which is greater than or equal to BI instead
* as in, UBI itself is an instrument to print money, this also applies to civil servant wages

No interest needed in this scheme. Just three variables: number of citizens, amount of UBI and civil servant wages, amount of taxes. UBI is provided from both fresh and recycled money, if we otherwise provided it only from fresh money, inflation would arise. Or the opposite, only recycled money would still require bond-backed money as civil servant wages are not enough of monetary supply for all the citizens.

Big codebases tend to contain licensed code or at least depend on it, so you'd get code that's either illegal to publish or contains huge gaps. Getting it in a state where you can put it on github, would require quite some dev and legal work, not likely to happen with abandonware.
I would strongly recommend not attempting to contract for or ship oil extracted in Sweden to the USA, or to anywhere else in the world. Unless you premise this on holding that Norway should never have gotten its independence 100+ years ago.
Uhm ... those who are able to work after retirement are of better health? I mean, if your health is bad you can't work.

It's far fetched to assume that working longer gives better health is a stronger effect than that better health makes you able to work longer.

Some work might make your health better, but the effect should be weaker than the statistics suggest.

I personally would really like the game LHX back again, with slightly upgraded graphics, but without the bloat most modern games come with. Also, Stunts 4D driving was really a time killer for me and my friends.
Take a look at Eclipse: Edge of Light and Relic Seeker: Hypogeum. I've finished neither, but have enjoyed playing each for a few hours. Eclipse in particular has good storytelling through environment, I think.

I don't think this is a very good comparison. dogs are significantly more likely to overeat than cats. some cats will overeat too of course, but it's less common.

maybe feeding was a bad example, but my point is that animals often want to do things that they don't understand the consequences of. my parents' cat really likes to jump on the stove, but we have to discourage him from doing this so he doesn't jump on a 400° griddle.

Aren't both of those serving to increase the demand for labor, not the supply?

Nice and non-hyped compilation of 5G features. Yet, given the title, I need to nit-pick that the article solely focuses on the radio layer.

There's a whole lot of other challenges arising in the core-network. I wish the article went on in the same style, covering these challenges, too.
Sure, but I'm guessing your examples and the examples I've seen are people who have a pension, etc and can optionally work if they choose to.

The current crop of people mostly don't have that, and with the low interest rates even saving for your own retirement is difficult. Work will likely be only option to survive above poverty in older years.
> The recommended course action in that case participate in legal actions which help make such unethical actions illegal i.e. change the law, until then you are essentially committing a crime.

> Slavery was not made illegal just because it the right thing, it was made illegal because people fought and died for it.

These are two wildly incompatible assertions. All of those people fighting to end slavery in the US before the Emancipation Proclamation were committing crimes. Should the underground railroad not have started until they got the OK from the president?

Edit: i want to extract ad banners from websites, think Google ads or any other ad network ads. Pop ads etc... Including redirect sequence and page's screenshot and source.

This task is not simple as extracting a table as CSV from a webpage.

I've struggled to find anything which is flexible enough to:

1. Visit porn/torrent and other shady websites

2. Save the banner image

3. Click the banner link and save the redirect sequence

4. Screenshot the page which appears after clicking the banner and save its HTML source.

Why i want to do this?
To extract scam ads run by scammers. I want to create a directory of all ads which can be queried to see what ads are running. If anyone is running fake news ads or spreading hate speech, they'll caught using this method.

Not for adfraud.

Nothing since has ever made me feel so in control of my file system.

There have been a few clones, but never quite hit the spot.
Brief, the text editor, from Underware. It's still the best code editor I've ever used. Super fast, underpins written in a Lisp-y dialect (later C-ish). The ^G feature would pop up a list box listing all functions in the file and I could select where I wanted to jump to. It's still a feature I wish I had in any modern editor.
Indeed, "import" and "export" are merely nation-based lenses on regular trade. If you make the lens small enough, you or your family unit are "importing" all sorts of foods and products, and "exporting" a few mostly labor and services (you also have a terrific "trade imbalance" with your favorite baker and grocery store).
Also, "most undefined".

What I'm saying is that it didn't have to be a pivot. Flickr had the key features and smartphone use cases worked out 5 years before Instagram existed.

The only reason there was a gap in the iPhone market for Instagram to fill was that internal warring at Yahoo kept them from launching a good iPhone app. If Flickr has just taken their existing smartphone features and put them in an iPhone app on iPhone launch day, they would have been the dominant social photo sharing app on the iPhone, just at they were on the web.

I can't stress enough how big of a factor this is in this whole thing. If they were forced to go down with the ship, this kind of nonsense would disappear very quickly by simple natural selection.

Don't bother with UX/UI at the beginning. It's wasting your time and resources.

Focus on a problem you want to solve. Make your product useful. Make sure your product works and provides a value for a user.

If you (when you) succeed in above, then you can address UX/UI based on feedback and usage findings you will already have.

UX is overrated, at least in the beginning of creating a product. That's why the web is full of crappy products and derivated ideas which just look nice.

Just my 2 cents as a product designer.

Ask HN: Are IT conferences a good place for SW developers to search a new job?
Maybe anybody have a success story where you found a new awesome job at IT or software developers conference but any opinion is welcomed.
I have a few software packages in mind:

1. The Genera operating system for Symbolics Lisp machines. Ever since I've gotten bitten by the Smalltalk and Lisp machine bugs, I've been wanting to use Genera, but I was born at the beginning of the last AI winter, and unfortunately the operating system is still proprietary, with no word about whether or not it will become open sourced. It's regrettable that the proverbial baby was thrown out with the bathwater when Lisp machines lost out in the marketplace to RISC workstations and the x86 running Lisp on other OSes; there are a lot of interesting lessons we can learn from Genera in today's operating systems and programming environments, and an entire generation of computer scientists and software engineers are unfortunately completely unfamiliar with Lisp machines.

2. I've heard wonderful things about the productivity software developed by Lighthouse Design for NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP. I haven't used them myself, but I've read that many NeXTSTEP users were devoted fans of Lighthouse Design software, and the presentation tool that the company designed influenced the design of Apple's Keynote.app. Unfortunately when Sun acquired Lighthouse Design, Sun hasn't done much with the Lighthouse Design codebase. It would have been nice had these programs been updated and further refined for Mac OS X.

3. I would love for someone to resurrect the ideas of Apple's OpenDoc platform, which allows for component-based development of GUI applications, much like how pipes and redirection in Unix allows for different command-line utilities to be used together.

My dream is an operating system where all objects can be inspected (like Smalltalk or a Lisp machine OS), where there is a component framework similar to OpenDoc that allows for component-based GUI application development, and where there's a REPL that allows power users to have complete control over their applications (both command-line and GUI). All applications would adhere to some type of well-designed usability guideline (I'm thinking about the classic Apple Human Interface Guidelines from the pre-OS X days), and the interface would be reminiscent of Mac OS 8.
