Oh, I totally get it. Well, sort of. I don't think China is the same level of rivalry that we had with the USSR. They're playing the game we asked and invited them to play.

But that aside, I hear you. My major confusion is that I never see the woke crowd running in to get super sensitive about things like this when the topic is Chinese people. I feel like they'd lose their shit if we were talking about Arabs, for example.

Putting aside the hysterical Orwellian reference, the world would be a better place if everyone from ISIS to Nazis had to go back to shouting on street corners. This implicit argument you keep making about parity of amplification being equival not to free speech is ludicrous. Given how often people in this thread alone have confronted you on the issues with it, and the cagey nature of your responses it’s increasingly difficult to assume you make this argument in good faith.

You can believe that people are owed a Youtube channel and a Facebook page, but at least recognize that no law or principle in law supports that belief.

Doesn't India disallow dual citizenship? Wikipedia [1] claims that Article 9 of the Indian Constitution forbids it (note that the Overseas Citizenship of India designation is not actually citizenship). So denaturalization would legally leave the person stateless. Making a person stateless against their will is considered a serious violation of human rights, regardless of what they have done.

Why is personal taxes of the employee considered taxes paid by the company?

If it's fair for a company to have the legal rights of a person, it's only fair they pay the same rate of taxes as a natural person.

If the share holders of the company is legally indemnify against the debts/risks of the company, then they shall also pay their fair share of taxes, and should not deduct it from the already paid portion of company tax. So this way, if you want legal protection of a limited liability corp, you have to pay double taxes. But if you accept legal responsibility if the company, then you don't get double taxed.

> it's well-accepted that the term "white nationalist" stands on its own and means something different from "white and a nationalist."

Many right-wing people claim that in practice, there's not: they're accused of being "white nationalists" for being "white and a nationalist".

Edit:

If people downvoting me think I'm wrong, explain why people like Jordan Peterson, who merely espouse non-leftist positions and happen to be white, routinely get accused of supporting the alt-right and neo-Nazis.

For the people who doubt what I'm saying -- here's a video of Jordan Peterson. This is who the leftists routinely call "neo-Nazis" or "alt-right": moderates who refute their positions and calmly assert values like personal responsibility over collectivist victimhood culture.

Edit 2:

I'd originally written "conservative"; I'm not sure Mr Peterson would describe himself in such terms. I've made it more neutral.

I thought we already knew that with Pavlov's dog, placebos and that study about how simply opening your eyes widely and willing yourself to be awake and aware is enough to make it happen. TV commercials play on this by making us listen to the sound of Folgers in your cup while the screen is washed out with "morning light" saturation filling the screen.
Honestly, after years of sleep issues, it worked out more or less like that. The trick is that the "why" can be many layers deep.

In my case, lighting turned out to be a big issue. All of the following proved necessary:

* Blackout curtains that made my room darker at night
* But, they were curtains. So, they were not so dark that no light came in in the morning. This helped me wake up
* Better interior lighting for night. I bought some "bedtime bulbs" after I saw them on HN, and installed them in my lamps. They're very warm, and I feel sleepier
* A red light in the lamp by my bed for reading
* Morning light. First thing I do upon waking is walk outside in the light, and try to get in the sun. Even in Canadian winter
* Morning light, part 2. I use a wakeup light, after reading about the one Sam Altman used here: http://blog.samaltman.com/productivity
* I use "reduce white point" on my phone past seven or so. It's set fairly high
* I make a point of getting ready for bed, and avoiding screens. So last hour is just getting stuff wrapped up for the day, hanging out, etc
* Sleep tracking. I use an apple watch, and auto sleep. I more or less centre everything around getting as much as I can. It's massively improved everything else in my life. This tracking is also how I measured the effectiveness of the changes above.

All of the above basically reset the circadian rhythm. That was why I kept going to sleep later than intended. Again, I had years of what seemed like onset insomnia. Now, I more or less don't. I still take longer to fall asleep than my girlfriend does, but I regularly am asleep before 11, rather than 1-2 am. And I feel much happier for it.

I also use .3 msg of melatonin, around 5-6 pm, following a tip here about dosing. (Apparently it's either that, or a larger amount right before bed)

Just now, I noticed I felt awake and realized I had left the overhead lights on. While typing this comment I turned them off, turning on the lamps with warm lights, and feel sleepier.

I suspect that's not quite how the original article meant it, but looking at my process in hindsight, it was fairly simple. Just basically continual assessment focussed on "why". Why was I not sleeping? And what do experts recommend for circadian rhythm.
How do they handle growing tons of stacks now?
Let me recommend Callahan & al.’s Calculus in Context, http://www.math.smith.edu/~callahan/intromine.html

Wait how? SSH runs on port 22, so how would you get it to switch over from port 443.
Not sure about this but I think yes. China has network filtering software for VPNs, in fact, the more advanced anti VPN blocker tools are Chinese due to the firewall.

They have several websites blocked like Google, Facebook (no OAuth integrations). Anything that involves networking might suffer. They would probably get a police visit if the firewall has triggers for sshing into a server (common in devops). Not joking: https://github.com/ukanth/afwall/issues/420#issuecomment-262...

Maybe they could work but would have serious limitations I guess. In a "communist" country, don't even know if they have a tax status for freelancing given the government behaviour.

The only work around would be to have a based company in China to outsource.
This is nonsense. Well meaning nonsense perhaps, but nonsense nevertheless.

If some measure of "white culture" does not exist, then what is it that people are code switching to in the workplace? What is it that comedians often make fun of, and why do audiences (including white members) laugh in recognition?
It happened to me once. They just blocked all non http(s) traffic. By best guess was to block people torrenting made by someone that didn't want to spend more than two minutes working on it.

The salient truth, is that corporate oligarchs are trying to game the system so that their own side has several orders of magnitude more voice, and everyone they don't like has several orders of magnitude less voice -- then try and claim it's "Free Speech" and "fair." No. The system is rigged, and the disingenuous arguments are made simply because the law and cultural norms haven't caught up with technical reality yet.

Companies shouldn’t be allowed to force arbitration on protected classes. Employees shouldn’t even be allowed to sign over that right. If IBM is found innocent, the laws need to change.
There isn't some hard rule like that. If you have no family connections to china, moved over to join some cool company, then came back a year later because you got bored, your interim clearance would probably be denied, and your background investigation would probably take longer but you could still get a clearance.

True, I forgot about Graal. IIUC though that's somewhat different from what WebAssembly has done- Graal doesn't define any sort of stable compiler target for C, or produce JVM bytecode from C, but instead (via Truffle) JITs C source or LLVM IR via partial evaluation, right?

That would suggest (again IIUC) Graal/Truffle as a mechanism for using the JVM as a WebAssembly runtime. The WebAssembly format and its associated environment/binding system are a portable way to encode C binaries, with significant benefits over JVM bytecode- that's probably the comparison I should have made.

I suggest don't let the K-12 and college educational systems make calculus a mess.

Instead, if have some algebra and trigonometry from high school and want to learn calculus, then just get one or a few good freshman COLLEGE calculus books and work through them -- at each lesson or section, read and think about the material and then work all the more challenging exercises. Check answers in the back of the book, a copy of the Instructor's Guide, on the Internet, etc.

For the books, get mostly old ones known for decades to be good. Get just good, used copies -- the subject hasn't changed much in decades. For the books, DO get ones that are good on (A) the completeness property of the real numbers ("Calculus is the elementary consequences of the completeness property of the real numbers."), (B) limits, (C) the epsilon-delta definition of limits, (D) the epsilon-delta, limit definitions of the derivative and the (Riemann) integral, (E) applications. Get more than one such book, use the one that looks the best as your primary source and use the others for alternate explanations and more exercises.

That's what I did: I got a good book and worked through about half of it. Then for calculus in college, I asked to skip freshman calculus and start on sophomore calculus, the rest of the book. A prof gave me a little oral exam, define the derivative, with some TeX notation

f'(x) = d/dx f(x) = lim_{h --> 0} (f(x + h) - f(x))/h

and I was in. I did well, made As both semesters. Went on to advanced calculus, ordinary differential equations, advanced calculus for applications, real analysis, functional analysis, real applications, peer-reviewed publications, teaching calculus, etc. E.g., for an application I derived and used

y'(t) = k y(t) (b - y(t))

to please the BoD at FedEx, keep a crucial investor from leaving, and save FedEx from going out of business.

From what I've seen of high school materials for calculus, I'd advise trying hard to avoid them -- again, just start with one of the best college texts. The one I used for the actual course was Johnson and Kiokmeister, then also used at Harvard, now ancient but still fine.
Personally, I've found having them in the one place works really well until my under-5 year old wants to play "driving to daycare" and forgets where they left them once done.

> We are talking about Facebook here, right?

No, Facebook is just one facet of it. We've seen deplatforming from every major social network, bar none, from Paypal, from Patreon, from banks, from credit card companies, from hosting providers, DNS providers, CDN providers... Virtually every piece of internet infrastructure is subject to deplatforming. And it's not just if you do something - if you provide services to people that do something controversial, you're out too.

> It depends!

You write "it depends", I read "if the mob likes you, you're ok. If they don't - well, you're screwed". Maybe it's a comfortable existence for somebody who never had a controversial thought, but it's certainly far from something I'd call "free".

> Obviously we have to rule on a case-by-case basis.

Who is "we" and why you have to rule? I don't particularly like to be ruled by "we", and be judged on its whims. OK, frankly, I can live without Facebook, I left Twitter long ago and could leave Facebook behind too. But it wouldn't stop there, would it? Intolerance to existence of contrary opinions never just stops because these opinions are now located under different URL. If it were possible, having them on Facebook wouldn't be a big deal from the start - just don't subscribe to people you don't like, ban them if they come to comment, and you'd never read their content. But the point is not that - as long as it exists anywhere, it must be suppressed. The only real end to it is elimination of the offending opinion, anything less is good, but ultimately always unsatisfactory. You may say "ok, what's bad in complete suppression of white nationalists"? Well, nothing in this mechanism has "white nationalists" anywhere, it would work against you or me as well as against anything else. Lack of freedom can be very comfortable when the rulers do the same things you wanted to be done anyway. It very soon stops being comfortable when they don't. Are you sure you'd never say anything anybody could find some problem with? Maybe decades later?

> Facebook has banned content it doesn't like since the inception of the platform.

And the list of banned things grows constantly. Yes, I know. That's exactly what worries me. Not because I like white nationalists - quite the contrary - but because one day whoever decides what to ban may dislike one of my thoughts.

> Except it's still actually illegal?

You basing that on what? Certainly not on decision of Wendell Holmes, since he never decided that (it was a rhetorical flourish for him) - so on what exactly?

That's why china is developing so fast than most countries.
The mentor is comparing people without technical skills (specifically HR employees) to the fictional Eloi - the species of humans which "live a banal life of ease". Meanwhile he compares those with technical skills (presumably himself included) to that of the Morlocks, which is a species engaged in Important Work that supports the idle Eloi.

Is the condescension and self-importance more clear now? It's an Us versus Them mentality which patronizes other people and looks down on their work.
I don't know the merits of this particular suit, but I'd say everyone working at the company, or considering it, should see how it plays out.

No, they aren't. They are a variety of distribution mechanisms, which WASI is not and does not contain.

Also, WASI is literally fragmented by design. It does not have a singular target, it instead is a bunch of modules (aka, shared libraries), and what modules you get and how they behave is up to the platform.

Real native has already long since solved distribution, dependency management, and portable abstractions. WASI does not appear to be doing anything interesting, new, or novel here.
The three areas of contention in the bill:

> A technical assistance request (TAR): Police ask a company to "voluntarily" help, such as give technical details about the development of a new online service.

> A technical assistance notice (TAN): A company is required to give assistance. For example, if they can decrypt a specific communication, they must or face fines.

> A technical capability notice (TCN): The company must build a new function to help police get at a suspect's data, or face fines.

This approach is ripe for abuse. Even if a company is served with a TAN and "can't technically decrypt" then a TCN can force them to downgrade/backdoor the platform security to comply. The TAR seems token at best.
Its just security theater though. Every popular website has scripts saving every comment that gets posted as well as users manually mirroring content to archive websites. The real solution is anonymity. You may regret saying something stupid years ago but who cares if no one can link it to your present self.
Likewise. I had an easy time in high school math. In college I really had to work for it.

I've never heard of that specific program. The only one like that I really knew about was the free data stuff in the Philipines because of a friend of mine there. I know in that specific instance it comes down to basically non-existent regulation over carriers and ISP's and a lack of any real choice.

If Facebook is becoming a defacto ISP in countries it should be subject to the same regulations and really should be required to follow net neutrality rules. Though I don't think those exist in a lot of developing countries(or I guess America also...).

In the end though, it's those country's governments allowing facebook to do this.

These are my realistic thoughts on the matter.

My own personal thoughts...

That shit's downright evil. Government's should absolutely not be allowing facebook to do this. But I feel the same way about ISP's in general owning content providers and favouring their own services.

This practice would be the same as Ford or gm owning a bunch of gas stations and giving preferential prices to drivers of Ford or gm vehicles. I honestly don't understand why it's looked at differently when it comes to internet companies or technology in general.

If a social media company wants to be an ISP or a an ISP wants to be a content provider or host, they really should not be able to give preferential treatment to their own content and companies that do this should be scrutinized heavily for bullshit.
This. Competition and rational buyers with perfect information will move prices close to production costs plus risk compensation. There's no room for anything more than incremental innovation and quick wins at those kinds of companies.

This is a very tinfoil-hat-y perspective, but is it possible that this action gained support inside the Trump White House because it makes life more difficult for Grindr?

I think the theory that it's about potential blackmail and extortion is a more likely explanation, and overall I think it makes sense for the government to take this action, but it might have been boosted by ulterior motives (see also CNN/AT&T/Time Warner).
Your interpretation of “matrix theory” doesn’t seem to have much to do with the course mentioned by RandomInteger4.

You can see what the content was by looking at the textbook mentioned, https://amzn.com/0521548233

Judging from the reviews it seems like it is a good reference book of intermediate/advanced linear algebra topics which researchers in other fields found useful as a reference.

I’m guessing this course was intended as maybe a 3rd course in linear algebra, with a slightly applied flavor. Giving it a different name makes it easier for students to distinguish the course than just calling it “Linear algebra 3A” or whatever.
Some would say it's simply that cognitive decline due to aging makes older people less likely to be able to cut it as a programmer, especially given the higher rate of change in the field placing less emphasis on crystalized intelligence and more on adaptability compared to other fields.
