Right, so your issue is with shell access and using it for arbitrary systems changes then, and not SSH per se. You'd be just as annoyed if someone logged into a shell on the server via the console and started making unmanaged changes.

SSH was originally intended to replace the aging unencrypted protocols that were used for remote access (telnet, rsh etc). It comes from a time when configuration management tools like ansible, puppet et all didn't exist, and most system management was ad-hoc, or done by home grown scripting. So it makes a sense that it behaves the same way as rsh for the most part.

WinRM (which this Microsoft implementation of OpenSSH will replace for most Ansible/UNIX users that are managing Windows systems) also allowed arbitrary command execution as well, so it was really no better.

Since the article is talking about C/C++

In C reaching the end of a non-void function is not undefined behaviour though. It's equivalent to ending with a return; However attempting to use the return value of that function is undefined behaviour. It'd be fine to have that warning be an error when compiling for C++, but not for C.

C89 3.6.6.4 (http://port70.net/~nsz/c/c89/c89-draft.html#3.6.6.4):
"If a return statement without an expression is executed, and the value of the function call is used by the caller, the behavior is undefined. Reaching the } that terminates a function is equivalent to executing a return statement without an expression."

> At first look, from a Western perspective, this is 100% clear-cut morally bad.

There is no such thing as a western perspective or morals. Just like there is no such thing as an asian perspective or morals. The western, just like the asian or even chinese, perspective is so vast and disparate and diverse that it is futile to pigeonhole one region into a single perspective.

Case in point, the "west" encompasses everything from christian charity to nazism to black enslavement to native genocide. We aren't a monolith with one set of values. Never have been, never will be.

And if you think western perspective views this as 100% morally bad, then you haven't researched the history of western medicine.

> But I've also learned a limited amount about the Chinese moral perspective in college, and it can be a useful exercise to examine how someone who doesn't have a Judeo-Christian/Locke moral framework may view this practice.

There is no such thing as judeo-christian anything. The judeo and christian are morally antithetical. The basis of christ and christianity is the fundamental shift from judeo values and morals to christian ones. I grew up christian but am an atheist, but I cringe whenever people use "judeo-christian". Also, "judeo-christian" has nothing to do with Locke's philosophy.

> In some ways, the harvesting of organs from political prisoners can be viewed as the trolley problem. Killing one political prisoner (an 'undesirable' in Chinese society) could save a number of lives of upstanding citizens.

In the west, we call this utilitarianism. It isn't anything special to china. One of the most important thinkers in the past few hundred years ( john stuart mills) formulated the philosophy.

The problems with china isn't a "chinese" problem. It is a human problem. Whatever china is guilty of is what we all are or have been guilty of.

I don't think this means what you think it means...

Every single broker like Robinhood sells order flow to electronic trading firms. This flow is then executed faster due to improved market access. All of that to say that you're probably getting better execution because Robinhood wasn't stupid enough to try to go through some crappy broker or build their own order entry system.

Also, the order data can not be mapped back to you. That simply isn't how the stock market works at all. Every single other broker (Schwab, Merril Lynch, etc) does this.

Source: I work for one of those big market making electronic trading firms, the kind you try to demonize but fail fundamentally to understand.
Unbelievable. It would be an atrocity merely to rob someone of “non-vital” organs that they can live without, like a spare kidney.

To murder someone and profit from the sale of vital organs is simply beyond my comprehension. I cannot fathom a more monstrous act.
Good clarification, thanks. By "downward", I meant downward acceleration, not necessarily downward velocity, although colloquial usage of "downward" usually means velocity.
"Another issue that has always caused confusion was the Titanic’s speed. It was running at full speed when crossing the Atlantic Ocean, even when there were warnings of icebergs in the area. There were rumors that the ship was trying to break some kind of speed record, but the Titanic was not built for speed. This mammoth ship was a luxury liner. Molony indicates that this could have been caused by the fire-fighting activities."

I think Molony and the author need to do more research on transportation in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Liners were the only way to cross the ocean. If you're in America and need to do business in Europe, you take a ship. The faster that ship gets there, the better.
I am not sure it is possible any longer for JS to avoid getting larded up with a bunch of features from other languages, due to the popularity it has achieved. But one of the things I used to like about it was its relatively constrained feature set. (I would almost say simplicity, but some of the wackier aspects of the language prevent me from going that far.) Now we have things I’m not sure anyone even uses like Symbols.

(Please don’t tell me I can just constrain the code I write to the subset of features I care about. We all read more code than we write.)
I think it is a matter of target metric. You can optimize just for click-through/watch time (short term reward), but you can also target a composite of that and quality/trustworthiness (long term reward). YouTube seems to mostly optimize the former, while search seems to compromise between both.

Do you have any basis for claiming that Google Video Search only shows whitelisted videos? I thought only Google News was limited that way.

I did a few quick searchs on the video tab, and pulled up a lot of videos from YouTube and at least one from Know Your Meme and another from Giphy. None of them seem like obvious whitelist candidates.
I've never noticed this to be the case, but I'm from the area (a few hours from each site). Looking online it appears you're right: one fire is 40x bigger and much older, but the new one gets 20x the google hits.

I think the newer fire, by virtue of its location and having started more recently, is probably a lot more photogenic because of the infrastructure damage it causes.

> CL is a great language that still has a lot to give. I’m gonna be using it for a long time including for games. It lives in the place of being fantastic and performant for scripting and also having the control to be truly viable for higher performance code. The implantation specific extensions to the language open up a ton of possibilities for squeezing more out of the machine and the abilities that macros afford us means there is a lot of meaningful stuff we can do trivially that require complex and unwieldy systems in other languages.

Am I missing something? It's obvious to me he's showcasing the "fman build system": https://github.com/mherrmann/fbs which is a wonderful project because the only reason I avoided Python + Qt in the past was because I wanted to make a very very simple cross-platform installer for my friends (mac and windows) and I didn't want to spend a lot of time researching how to bundle the python runtime in a cross-platform binary.

Personally, this is the most useful "Show HN" project I've seen in the past months.

Google "Independent Tribunal into Forced Organ Harvesting from Prisoners of Conscience in China" and it should turn up the website of the panel itself, and a few sites that covered the release of the interim report. The BMJ article is a news article covering that release, not a research article, so the BMJ article has nothing that isn't readily in the other coverage.

If you find this report interesting, this Wikipedia article would probably also be interesting [1].

What they mean is by "moving so fast" is, it's moving so fast horizontally. Imagine being at the top of a steep mountain and throwing a rock directly out from you. The rock will continue to move horizontally, due to the force behind your throw, as well as vertically, as it drops due to gravity. If you don't throw it hard enough, then the trajectory of the rock won't clear the mountain slope. If you throw it too hard, it will clear the base of the mountain by a wide margin. But if you throw it just right, the rock could hypothetically have a trajectory that is perfectly parallel to the mountain slope (in reality, due to things like air resistance, this isn't all that feasible).

Anything in orbit it literally the exact same. You get something moving fast enough horizontally that even though the Earth's gravity is still pulling on it, its trajectory towards earth is perfectly parallel (actually often not perfectly, but in principle) with the curvature of the planet. But by doing it high enough in the sky, you can escape the atmosphere of the earth, to where there is no wind resistance, meaning once you get up to a high horizontal speed, you can turn off the engines and coast perpetually without slowing down.

So everything in orbit, from the ISS to satellites, to the moon, are all in Earth's gravity well and are falling towards the planet, but they have a horizontal speed as well that keeps them from colliding with the surface. The Earth and the rest of the planets in the solar system do the same thing in terms of their orbit with the Sun.

It's also why sometimes satellites or space junk that have been in the sky for years will come crashing down to Earth. Sometimes the calculations for how fast you need to be going are off, or something will throw off it's horizontal momentum, and that will cause it's trajectory to dip just enough that it is no longer orbiting the earth perfectly, but instead is spiraling ever so slightly towards the surface, and will over the course of months or years or decades dip closer and closer until it enters the atmosphere, at which time air resistance becomes a factor again and it breaks up and really plummets.

In the same as exobiology - we can make models compatible with our current physics/chemistry/etc and study those models, write papers, have conferences, grants... ie. do a science. One day it may happen to be useful upon encountering a life on another planet matching the models.

I was trying to understand what the Chinese perspective is on this. What do people who live in China or who were born there think about whether or not people in China have harvested organs from political prisoners and/or continue to do so?

Here is the best most levelheaded response I found, on Quora from someone who frequently presents a particular point of view: https://www.quora.com/Are-there-not-people-within-the-Chines...

She writes that organ harvesting is illegal, that nearly everyone in China opposes it, and that if someone were caught doing it, they would go to jail.

I'm not sure how to square that with a finding from a tribunal in Britain that "state organised or approved organisations or individuals" engaged in "forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience has been practised for a substantial period of time, involving a very substantial number of victims".

I guess she would probably respond by saying that the source is dubious and it cannot be true because the state wouldn't break the law like that?

Is that the view?
We fund them because it helps the people in charge get rich off the backs of cheap Chinese labor.

We (the U.S) tolerate their disrespect for human rights because we also do not respect human rights, as demonstrated by our relationship with Saudi Arabia, our many horrible wars, etc. We also do not respect national sovereignty, as demonstrated by our covert wars in South America, our firebombing of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, and our occupation of the Middle East.

We do business with them because they are like us. Or at least, like our business people. They want to grow their power as our businesses do. Not all business people are like this, but we allow the influential businesses to support these actions and we as a people do not stop it.

Obviously assuming an avoidance of nuclear escalation, which it is very much in China’s interest to avoid- best estimates say China has less than 300 weapons, not all of which have delivery systems capable of reaching the US and many are potentially targetable by for counterforce strikes. Still an absolutely horrendous toll to pay for an escalation.

The US in contrast has 4000 active warheads, with at least 1300 on capable ballistic misfile delivery vehicles. If used in a countervalue attack, the Chinese would cease to exist as a relevant people.

Which as a long way of saying the US can escalate more than the Chinese, but actually getting into an open and direct conflict is a morally horrific idea.

"From 2010-2014, police and justice figures show Maori made up 51 per cent of prison sentences, 40 per cent of prosecutions and convictions. And yet, over the same period, Maori made up only 30 per cent of those who received pre-charge warnings - in other words, were let off - compared to 57 per cent of Pakeha."

This one might be hard to meaningfully argue either way without getting into some kind of 'Maori are more likely to argue with police' kinda speculation. Also, I agree with you anyway - While there is bias within the system, it's not that bias alone (or even primarily) that's driving higher incarceration rates for Maori. It's systemic socioeconomic disadvantages that are really more about 'poor people to go prison more' coupled with 'a disproportionate number of Maori are poor'.

>I remember feeling so upset over it, especially since I wanted to tell them that it wasn't me, the problem here was Māori being racist to Māori... it had nothing to do with Pākehā racism toward Māori!

It's pretty easy to draw the line even using your spontaneity criteria.

When a group of your sacred hecklers organizes to disrupt an event to the extent to the degree that it destroys the spontaneity of the rest of the audience.

Believe it or not, many people attend events to hear the speakers, and interested members of the audience, and not some randos that want to monopolize the attention on for themselves.

I suppose you're one of the people that is against ad-blockers, because they prevent those marketers from spontaneously changing everyone's internet experience?
The point is more that the parent comment raises a different issue that doesn't really address the topic at hand. Even if another search engine did appear, it wouldn't allow the authorities to target dissidents more effectively than existing services already do.

If we want to actually make a difference, we might consider calling for those existing services to change their ways. Harder to pressure the domestic Chinese companies, of course, but it's surprising how little attention is paid to Western companies who are actually in China and benefitting from it.
No one knows what Robinhood will do, but no bank can promise a perpetual 3% rate. The rate is probably a teaser. Even if it is perpetual, it may be "on the first $10,000, with a minuscule rate on larger sums...something that allows them to advertise 3% but offer much less on larger sums.

If the value of the token ever gets far above the cost to mint, eventually more people will start creating it, and more will be produced, which, if demand stayed constant would result in the value diminishing. In practice, most tokens already do spend significant amounts of time paying out more than they cost to mine (which is why people mine them at all). Also, these effects take time to occur, so it is most likely that they would overshoot, crashing the value of the coin. Minting would then stop, but you already have a much greater supply than demand so there would be no incentive to mint more at all. You'd be stuck with the coins as worthless - you have no mechanism to make them increase in value.

Now, if instead of using some uninteresting hashing, you did genuinely useful work to create the coins, perhaps like gridcoin, then your system might make sense - since it's representative of an amount of computation performed.

Nobody in their right mind would hold it though - I presume you'd use it to pay for other computation, and there'd be a market of companies wanting to buy it in order to get their workloads computed.
>We (the U.S) tolerate their disrespect for human rights because we also do not respect human rights

I'm sorry but this statement is just absolutely and completely ridiculous. I don't know if you've either never been to The United States, or you've never left The United States, but the difference between the respect that we have for human rights, and the respect that much of the rest of the world has, is stark.

Treating the symptom won't fix the problem. The middle class could help itself by refusing to finance consumption with debt. The middle class could just quit taking on debt at 15%. And before you say that they have to just to survive, no, the definition of middle class is people who actually have enough money to live on. What would help the middle class is getting them to learn some basic financial sense.

That said, I do think that credit card interest rates are unconscionable and should be capped much lower. As it is, credit card debt is financial slavery and people should treat it like crack cocaine--just say no.
