The entire point of entering the Chinese market is to make money. Google will make more money doing what the CCP asks well and without question. Putting less people in camps and playing games with the CCP means less money or even losing the Chinese market.
Hey, so I'm sure you didn't mean it this way, but this comment sounds like gaslighting: a woman told you about her experience, and you immediately disbelieved her and told her she is not only incorrect about her experience but that it must be her fault for being "quiet and introverted"?

I recommend starting out by assuming she has knowledge and experiences you don't have access to and learning from it, rather than trying to explain away this new information.

It is scary how fast people can go down hill without water. We regularly go camping up on the MN/Canadian boarder in the BWCA - going lake to lake in canoes. Usually we pack in a filter (or chemical purifiers, way back) to make sure folks don't get beaver fever. One guy opted to not drink the purified water... and went downhill fast the next day. Had to paddle him out and take him to the ER. Not sure what he was thinking - that the .5L of water he took in was enough to get him through 3 days.
But there’s a feedback loop somewhere. Hiring backup staff means there is less to go around which quite possibly means a reduction or stagnation in wages depending on the particulars of the economic system. I wish more of the criticism directed at corporations at least acknowledged this reality—instead it comes off as “well just print more money, duh!”
Doesn't this, in and of itself, tells you just how "multinational" Google really is?

There's no real issue with creating laws that apply to everybody here. Google is developing this thing in US. Therefore, American laws - and American cultural sensibilities - apply. If they don't want that, then they can do that development in China, by the workforce (and I mean executives in charge of the project as well as coders) that is subject to the same laws that they're working to implement.
The elitist attitude is what kept me from becoming a radio amateur.

(Back then, ham radio software was also consistently proprietary payware - in an area where every participant would have benefited so much more from an open source approach, as you could expect actual contributions - and software-defined radio was the devil, at least that was the impression I got.)

I have read most, but not all of his work but did't know that's how he died.

I wasn't old enough in the 90s to understand HIV/AIDS completely but remember it being a death sentence (I remember a rumor that you could get it by using public toilets)
People often have some amount of morals that go into which job they have. This typically plays into the choice of jobs. Taking a job that has military contracts is a moral stance, as is taking a job that does not. Taking a job that supports dictatorships is a moral stance, as is taking a job that does not. When a company changes their moral stances, this acts against the previous choices of the employees who work there. Of course it is reasonable to protest these changes.

Corporations are composed of people. To imply that this relieves people of any moral responsibility for the actions of corporations is absurd.
As I stated in a comment questioning what possible impact this project could have: "My primary motivation is fighting these types of capitulations becoming precedents. If an American tech company will willfully aid the CCP in preventing information on human rights from spreading and build tools for a nationwide dragnet, what would they ever stand up for?"

google.com exists and serves Chinese queries. If the Chinese Communist Party wants to continue blocking that because they don't like their citizens learning about human rights or Nobel prizes (yes, that is literally on the blacklist), then that is their option. But, for an American tech company to actively aid them for profit is a bridge too far.

I refuse to help normalize what I now know to be a history of American tech companies committing human rights abuses in exchange for access to foreign funding (with Cisco's creation of a surveilance and torture-management system targeting the Falun Gong being a particularly disturbing example).

I am too. The unstated sales job that has been so effective for hooking and keeping so many is fear-based, specifically the fear of missing out. I don't think I've missed anything at all important by never having had Facebook. But every time the discussion is had, a high percentage who say they wish they didn't have it also hang onto it with "it's how I stay in touch with people." My counter argument is, Delete it and find out who really wants to stay in touch with you.

Consider the ever-widening of demands for papers and records of Trump associates in an effort to find something, anything, to get him on, or at least discourage anyone from working in the White House, and isolate Trump.

It's an example of the government using its investigative powers for political purposes. I recall when Nixon tried to sic the IRS on his enemies.
For a simple game it seems like you could get away with vectors of mutable structs. This looks like ECS where one entity has a single component and there are only a few systems that update them (update, draw). For simple games you can do the old-school arcade style model with memory allocated upfront for everything (giant mutable gamestate struct) which was called out as not scalable in the talk but it worked for countless classic console and arcade games and scales all the way to Call of Duty. Another option is to avoid mutation and go for a functional style where you return a new game state struct after update (drawing probably shouldn't need to mutate), which might not scale for large games but is completely reasonable for small games without much state.

When I worked on a large C++/Qt code base compile times were awful. We ended up setting up distcc and that helped immensely. Worth looking into.
Perhaps because it's controversial on religious grounds.

> Chinese culture is fundamentally different. Government is not looked at some agency that people allowed to govern but rather an agency that is charted to protect culture even if it is at the expense of individualism.

Depends on the culture. Currently the Chinese government is doing its best to eradicate certain cultures and put their adherents in concentration camps[1].

It isn't just a censorship issue. Dragonfly would help put people in camps.

Because certain subsets of society have issues with it, sadly. They view it as killing babies, and Baby Bush put a ban on stem cell research funding in the US.

You could be experiencing this phenomenon for a handful of reasons, none of which being the reason you stated.
not sure what you're getting downvoted for. when you work in something like retail or food service it matters a lot if you're late. customers are either taking their money elsewhere or your already tired coworkers from the first shift are staying late to cover for you.
It would be interesting to have non-tab nodes in the Tree Style Tab tree. Some of the them could be persistent and some of them could be temporary (e.g. for a new rabbit hole you're mapping)

It's funny that you think that a foreign country can legally be sold ad space in the US for propaganda.
The only thing Google has any interest in minimizing in China is the percentage of the search/ad market outside of their control.
I wholeheartedly salute you.
The individual willing to stand up for a principle at great personal expense is the kind of hero the world needs more of. While I admire your resolve, I can't help but feel pessimistic about the cause. My view formed by my own personal experience is that the average consumer is not even remotely interested in understanding the ethical implications of Google's various business practices, let alone taking an informed moral stance and adjusting their behaviour on its basis.
Dragonfly is only the tip of the iceberg for me when it comes to Google's unethical behaviour, I've made a concerted effort to avoid allowing Google to earn money from my use of their products. Unfortunately, the masses are miles away from even being concerned about their own personal privacy, let alone being concerned over foreign tyranny. They'll continue using Google services, and google will be able to do largely as it wishes.
Also, I'm stumped trying to think of an example of where a nation-state rectified their unethical behaviour on a moral basis alone. Picketing the Chinese government will not change things, nor will Google refusing to do business with them, unfortunately. We should still boycott companies who support such tyranny however.
It's a shame that this doesn't work in Canada :(
If we have gotten to the point where people are unwilling to trade a six figure job with free sushi for a six figure job without free sushi to stand up for what is right, we have bigger problems.
I'm not sure how this proves the point that the lack of such policies at tech companies discourages women from working there. Only one company has been mentioned as offering this policy, and it's a major tech company. Are there others? Are there fields where it is common?

I've never heard of it before now, and I worked for years as a corporate lawyer. And my lack of awareness isn't because I'm a man, as you've implied — my wife has also never heard of such a policy (and she works outside tech). Both of us have heavily researched the leave policies in our respective fields, as we have used them on multiple occasions.

If there are a bunch of non-tech companies offering this policy, then perhaps that could lead to your conclusion that it's one of the reasons women choose other fields. But based on what has been described so far, it's equally likely that this is an incredibly rare policy that does pull people into or push people from the tech sector. If there are sectors where this is common, please enlighten us!

The real news of course is USB 5, under development at Apple under the codename Thunderbird. It will be a new, incompatible port style, but 15% faster than USB 4. Luckily you will be able to get USB 4-compatible dongles that work at least 70% of the time given a clean enough power source and some Apple iPhone compatible hardware from the USB 4 era.
Holy crap, I don't remember hearing about this. Yeah I'd rather not have that. Reminds me of the Ubuntu hubris and their built-in ads.

You just have to wonder what it is that makes big open-source companies so disconnected from their userbase. Still better than Google in practice, but Google's PR is much better.
Reportedly his family didn't publicize the matter at the time, due to the prejudice it would have triggered. His auto biography also does not mention it. It was only made public by his family, several years after his death.

I would contend that the naïveté that would allow someone to have ever seen Google's management as benevolent is that same naïveté that will ultimately allow these practices to continue with impunity.
So, what is the aggregated outcome of those differences? How many people end up in jail there vs here? What's the average term? And so on.

Furthermore, many of those are democratic countries. If their arrangements are worse off, you'd expect some people - even if it's a small minority - to make note of that, and advocate to reform the system to be more like US. Are there any examples of that?

HN is a very civilized place, and this thread is the closest I have ever seen to a toxic environment.

A lot of people (men) here complaining about women getting things too easy in tech. Talk to a woman in tech. Look around you and see how many women there are. Men are still running the show.

I don't think either Becker specifically or Minnesota more broadly has a better alternative than to demand the property tax and, presumably, let Google build elsewhere. I also agree that if the property tax breaks were the only incentive that Minnesota was offering, it would be a clear net positive to offer those tax breaks. But the need for a bonding bill makes the trade-off less straightforward, since it requires Minnesota to commit funding directly, instead of just foregoing tax revenue that it "should" (but wouldn't) receive.

I live in Minneapolis and hadn't heard about the proposal until I saw this thread, so I'm inclined to think the outrage is mostly manufactured. To the extent that it's real, it's probably driven by the fact that Wisconsin seems to have gotten fleeced by Foxconn.
A lot (most?) charge cables are USB 2.0 — just enough data to negotiate the higher power. If they supported faster data too, they'd be more expensive. But it definitely should be more clear! Apple's minimalism doesn't help in this case, either.
Cool; so about 0.35% of yearly world production of CO2 per year from capture, and assuming 25% increased longevity, somewhere a little short of 1% due to cement reduction.

Some Questions about the Recurse Center
Not gonna disagree; the treatments are good and getting better for PLWHs - side effects are nearly nonexistent on the day to day and better than they were in the long run. And PrEP / nPEP are miracles at reducing seroconversions in high risk groups/persons exposed.

We do need a cure. The damage done to the body of an HIV positive person who’s undetectable, on HAART/meds is progressive, permanent, and irreversible. Even on treatment, chronic inflammation of the immune system adds a lot of undue stress to the body. While I’m not at risk for any AIDS defining illnesses/cancers, I’ve still got a very high risk of other cancers compared to someone who’s HIV-negative. I’m grateful for laws protecting people like me with pre existing conditions - which forces my insurance company to fully cover my $6000 US/mo in HAART treatment.
(Symtuza/Tivicay if curious)

What’s the amount of money big pharma will make over the course of my life alone? Millions if they can keep this up.

How great could life be without HIV in it for good? I’d like to find out, or at least maybe get my doctor to stop asking me to fill out an advanced care directive.

I’m thankful otherwise that at 32 I’m fit, in perfect health, and undetectable. Someday I hope i’ll change my status to “cured.”

I've had MS for 20 years.

The procedure for MS is HSCT. It's erroneously called "transplant," as it actually is stem-cell rescue. The basic idea is to extract your own stem cells, kill of most (not all) of your existing immune system, and then re-infuse your stem cells to "reinstall" your immune system. Hopefully before you get an infection while you don't have any defenses.

This treatment has been shown to be effective for the most mild form of MS, Relapsing Remitting (RRMS), and only in the early stages of the disease. It's relatively risky, and if we were to do the procedure for everyone diagnosed with RRMS today, hundreds (if not thousands) of people would die from the treatment. Either from complications from the procedure, or from increased instances of cancer years down the road, since the poison part of the treatment is known to be carcinogenic.

Meanwhile, there is Rituximab, which is a monoclonal antibody targeting the CD20 protein that has had its patent recently expire. This means it can be manufactured as a generic. Clinical trials recently run in England have shown that not only is it extremely effective at controlling the disease in the most mild form (RRMS), but CD20-targeting monoclonal antibodies are the only drugs known to be in any (meaningful) way effective for the more serious forms of the disease, Secondary Progressive (SPMS) and Primary Progressive (PPMS).

Given the choice between HSCT or Rituximab, in terms of effectiveness, safety and cost, Rituximab wins as a treatment for MS, hands-down.

For those stuck in the United States, the FDA will let you get Ocrelizumab (Ocrevus), which is basically Rituximab tweaked enough so that Genentech could get patent protection for it. With that patent protection, they got the financial incentive to run it through the FDA approval process so they can now sell it to you for the bargain price of about $80,000 per year. It's just about as effective as Rituximab and maybe only a little more dangerous.

There are many different fronts to wage this fight on; changing consumer behavior is only one of them. Getting the project halted is important in its own right for the reason that it helps prevent the normalization of American tech companies actively aiding political oppression under the guise of abiding by 'local laws and regulations'.

As I stated in a few comments down below: if we let American tech companies build custom tools to enable authoritarian governments in their political oppression, how could we possibly think they would stand up to protect something actually controversial, like a protester or a labor organizer?

Just because you don't like be censored, you'd rather deprive every Chinese's access to information of much much better quality. Yes, a few percent of searches will be censored, but the other 90+% of them are still miles better than Baidu's. Yet the righteous Google employees rather let people die of misinformation provided by Baidu(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Wei_Zexi). They'd rather see event like this happen everyday in China: https://www.ft.com/content/9be0b974-10e9-11e6-bb40-c30e3bfcf.... They'd rather let ordinary people comb through pages of thinly disguised ads to get to truly useful pages. They'd rather let good people be bombarded with false information by Baidu. They'd rather deny billions of people's access to vast number of educational videos on Youtube. Yeah, right, this is some people's version of justice.

Yup, political ideal certainly is more important than the quality life of billions of real, ordinary people.

I think fundamentally most users don't understand anything more complicated than passwords. Passwords are easy. They make sense. A kindergartener understands the idea of a secret word that only they know.

Tokens, certificates, FIDO -- it's black magic. Therefore people don't trust it.

It has to be as easy and intuitive as passwords or it's a non-starter.

That's why the SMS codes (though insecure) are so popular. People understand "enter this number that I just texted to you"
