[sarcasm] Oh I'm sure Canada and other Western nations are offering licenses for their model and indeed one might see this entire enterprise as a long effort to sell those licenses, while China just insists on relying on simpler methods.[/sarcasm]

That said, China's unwillingness to mention Tien Ah Min expresses the point that nation has to adopt a "no apologies, don't talk about this and we'd definitely do this again" position because the state ultimately deals in absolutes. This situation indeed implies a certain fragility.

Edit: Just for clarification, I certainly hope a framework of democracy and freedom of speech prevail but I am still clear quite a few Western interests have entirely selfish reasons for wanting this (and the Western model indeed has its flaws).

I use food delivery services more often than I'd like to admit, and I never stop feeling weird about the dynamic. The factors that allow me to pay someone else to go pick up my lunch for me. I generally try to over-tip in some small effort to apologize for the way things are. And I never leave bad reviews; a couple bad reviews can totally sink a person in one of those apps.
In that case, is it really valid to count those monarchs as different governments and not continuations of the same system?
Do you mean "topological" business maps?
> So why does this post then obfuscate these facts as 'an incident of sexual misconduct'?

Because she's not talking about the misconduct, but about the response to the misconduct.

One of the reasons she's not talking about the misconduct is because misogynists will seek to relitigate the orginal event with the predictable victim-blaming concern-trolling.
That's exactly why the rest of the world needs to speak up.
I like the updated source data better it has actually changed quite a bit.

I often do the same thing.
It's very similar to what OsmAnd (free software map application for Android is doing).

The standard application from the Google Play store is limited in how many maps you can download and you can purchase the OsmAnd+ app for unlimited maps.
Or... Get the same OsmAnd+ from f-droid :)

I quite like this model of charging users that are using the proprietary ecosystems.
It sure worked on me, I happily paid for OsmAnd+ =)
Land (and property) ownership is quite important here because many of our other rights stem from land ownership.

For example, if I'm on land I don't own, I have no real right to freedom of speech because I have no right to be on the land to begin with since it's privately held. I'm there legally by permission of the property owner only and can be removed.

This becomes increasingly problematic the more private entities take ownership of land. Imagine a world where a few hundred people own nearly all the non-government owned property and the vast majority of citizens have to rent/lease or utilized shared property.

Those private entities begin to dictate if I can take pictures, say certain things, bring a weapon on that property, etc. If the entire industry decides "we only allow Comcast Internet service on our grounds to drill into walls," then unless new laws or enacted at a state/city level forcing landlords to allow it or the FTC steps in, I guess you're using Comcast or doing without.

In theory, conventional wisdom argues competitors will enter the market with less restrictions. In practice, it's all profit driven and the most efficient market solutions get adopted resulting in shared policies across the industry. If business across an industry in general finds it's more profitable that people can't have weapons on their properties and you have no land ownership, then you can own a gun but you'll have no where to put it. Or you may want to spread an idea through speech but no one will allow it. You're then restricted to either government properties where you do have those rights or another private entity that allows it.

Property ownership is very complex here.

Nope. I'm pretty sure the world is more wealthy by almost every economic measure than it was two centuries ago.
I once worked for a short spell in a tree-planting squad in the highlands of Scotland. The seasoned planters were olympically fit and each planted around 100 saplings an hour across rough mountainside.
Not necessarily. As other posters in this discussion point out, you can for instance create biochar from trees, which can be permanently planted in the ground, thus finally returning in the place of origin the carbon we earlier dug out in the form of oil and natural gas.
For comparison, in Sweden, Finland etc there is 5-10000 trees per capita already. Adding a 1000 more per head would be easy in terms of space. So that would cover say 100M people.
A gay golden age in East Germany reveals that Soviet politics were more dynamic than we admit—and that gay rights has less to do with democracy than we tend to assume.
It's funny because China seems to have the mentality that this must be so. And look over to the Japanese and at one time they were similarly minded. And yet look at them now, a pleasure to deal with both on individual and societal level. So it's simply a choice and a mentality which will lead you into all sorts of bad situations. Unfortunately Chinese don't have enough experience with this and instead looking to history to guide their actions, which is a mistake. We simply can't act this way in the world we have built, the consequences are too grave for everyone involved.

It's not even "China" that's directly responsible for most of these decisions, really. It's each private company individually trying to figure out how to keep the Chinese government happy and on their side. That's why these things are inherently unpredictable. Sometimes you can even see seemingly-coordinated behavior that's actually the result of bandwagoning - e.g. if one company bans "Leica" on their social media site, then everyone else will feel like they have to follow suit. It's quite a mess.

Every reliable source for lifetime cost of maintenance I have ever seen shows Toyota is the cheapest, that most other Japanese brands are close behind, and European brands are way more expensive e.g.

https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/the-most-and-least-expe...

That certainly matches what I've seen happen with my friend's cars: Toyotas just keep going and are cheap to fix, Euro cars have something bust earlier in their lifetime and usually outrageously costly to repair.

I am from NZ and as a country we keep driving second hand cars until they are uneconomic to fix, and maybe half of the cars imported from overseas are second hand Japanese cars. We don't have a lot of American cars but my own limited experience with them is that they are as unreliable and costly as the European cars.

You can find some individual models within other brands that are reliable, however if you are buying a car that is 5 to 10 years old, you can't yet know if the model you are getting is a good one, so buying by brand actually makes sense. Quote from article about maintenance costs: "Toyota completely avoids the the most expensive models list" which helps averages (although I think they used median costs in that article).
Don't quote me on this but from memory a tree is able to sequester a lot more in the first couple of years than as a fully grown tree. Intuitively that makes sense.

Sure, I'm not going trying tell you what to do. You're the content creator, you need to do what you feel works or you won't make good content.

They're 2 different things, eg there's a huge difference between say ChrisFX and a twitch stream for a mechanic, though they're both basically build logs at the end of the day.

Twitch is definitely more the low overhead mass content version of content. Similar to the Howard Stern Show, or Car Talk, as opposed to The Grand Tour. Thousands of hours of contents as opposed to hundreds, or 10s.

I was just pointing out there's a market for the mass quantity content.

It's actually one of the things I DONT like about the produced car rebuild shows, they often edit out stuff just to make it entertaining to everyone, where I'm wanting to watch just to see the whole thing and the techniques. Much more like slow tv. I'm totally happy to skip through parts I don't care about.
Oops, on the obvious typo, too late to edit. Aye, aye.

As westerners I feel this is natural to think, and makes sense to us, but having been in China several times I'm not so sure.

The value systems in Asia are far different, and people are much more collective where as we are a more individualist society with different thoughts about individual freedom.

I doubt China could have become as strong as it is today without it's long history of authoritarian regimes, and I feel that many in China believe this to be true. The growing dissent may not be a sign of what's to come but may simply be the growing pains of a totalitarian regime moving into the 21st century. I do not agree with Chinese government but I never underestimate it. There are some smart people working to keep over a billion people under control and productive, and I'm sure they will ultimately find a way that keeps them like that, and can be accepted by it's citizens.

I think we need a system, where the rest of the world will pay countries like Brazil or Indonesia to keep their current rainforests.

Currently, we are paying them to cut down rainforests and plant oil palms, so that we can buy cheap oil from them.

Isn't this what Common Crawl[1] is. From their FAQ:

> What is Common Crawl?

> Common Crawl is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing a copy of the internet to internet researchers, companies and individuals at no cost for the purpose of research and analysis.

> What can you do with a copy of the web?

> The possibilities are endless, but people have used the data to improve language translation software, predict trends, track the disease propagation and much more.

> Can’t Google or Microsoft just do that?

>Our goal is to democratize the data so everyone, not just big companies, can do high quality research and analysis.

Also DuckDuckGo founder Gabriel Weinberg expressed the sentiment that the index should be separate from the search engine many years ago:

> Our approach was to treat the “copy the Internet” part as the commodity. You could get it from multiple places. When I started, Google, Yahoo, Yandex and Microsoft were all building indexes. We focused on doing things the other guys couldn’t do. [2]

From what I remember reading once DuckDuckGo doesn't use Common Crawl though.

TIL Dijkstra died in 2002. I don't know why, but I always thought he was much older than that!
None of those places functioned as modern nation states prior to the Peace of Westphalia. Monarchies were in constant flux, collapsing all the time as brother invaded cousin and so on. How exactly does this refute my point?
The problem with a push-button solution like you describe is that anyone trying it would be fighting an exponential growth curve. Economic growth remains closely correlated with increased demand for energy. Any solution that doesn't address the consumption side of the equation will run into a brick wall sooner or later.

At the current rate of growth, we're not that far from directly producing more heat than the earth can radiate into space.
Aah I wasn't thinking it through. I guess as long as the fragments are caught in the filter during the coffee making it's likely fine. And for some reason I forgot that coffee is essentially strained/filtered. I have a jura and so I just press a button and it goooooess.
I wish the government gives money or tax credit to home owners for planting trees, like X amount for first year and a little bit more every year for the next 5 years, instead of the punitive approach some cities taking now.
To be honest, I’m still down from the 2016 election. After taking a break from it, I’ve started to recover since taking the time to sit down and understand the rules, fee structure, and betting tactically at the beginning of this year. Even if I were to attribute all my luck this year to skill and I could keep it up, I wouldn’t be able to make a minimum wage at it. I was particularly leaning on OP’s word possibly :)
It can approximate any function, not just continuous ones. It's just that every approximation will be continuous, but pointwise they will converge

Yes. It's completely valid, since their borders, their laws, and the identities of the people were constantly in flux. Nothing at all like the continuity of modern nation states through successive governments.
Seconded, I have it on a couple old players and love it so much.
Most supported players are getting old and hard to find though, so I would welcome a port to other platforms, say a bare metal install on a Nano or Orange PI or even shrinking it to fit on smaller MCUs like the esp32, that is, no tools or games, just what it needs to play music through an external DAC (the Odroid GO once fitted with DAC and phones jack could become a really nice option).

I think this is generally true, but it might be more correct to say this: The oldest surviving culture(s) for a particular landmass and / or the existing culture(s) present for the first wave of recorded migration.

We have good evidence that the Mayan and Aztec peoples had groups that preceded them on the land, but they are still indigenous.

I made some rough calculations yesterday and user strainer corrected me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19701879 It would seem that even with his corrections and this article's data capturing carbon isn't feasible. 1.2T trees increases earth's forestation by 40% but only nets us 10 years of emissions. It seems very inefficient in relation to trying to reduce emissions.

Understanding Yang Gang – 1791
"A few hiccups" and "never compromised"? It took fifteen years of refinement to make it deployable, then a war popped up and it turned out to be totally useless even in the role they'd intended for it.

A gun's "singular purpose" is not to sling lead. It's to sling lead at an enemy, which means slinging lead on a battlefield, and those are far more complex and multifarious tasks than you're making them out to be. The navy ditched it because it turned out to be useless against WWII-tech aircraft. The army was about to ditch it because the water-cooling setup was too finicky and vulnerable and it couldn't be mounted on anything useful. You find the same story in the history of almost literally every piece of weapons technology. There are hundreds of guns out there that are fantastic pieces of focused lead-slinging intent but cost four times as much as the alternatives and are so heavy that you're better off literally carrying two cheaper and less-reliable guns and just swapping when one of them jams.

It's the same way with literally any technology. Yeah, Peter Watt had the great idea to condense steam in a different chamber so you didn't have to re-heat the cylinder after every stroke. He then spent twelve years figuring out how to improve the piston seal so this idea actually worked. TCP is simple, right? Literally all it does is transfer packets. Sequence numbers, three-way-handshake, resend unacked, done. Except that we then spent thirty years learning how to fine-tune all the parameters and if you get any of them wrong (TTL, backoff, window length, fast-open) you can't actually transfer any packets. Multipole electromechanical relay: AND or OR. Spring, magnet, connection. Not fast, reliable, cheap, or efficient enough to be an improvement over analog mechanical calculators until almost a hundred years after their invention.

Video Calling for People with No Technical Knowledge
The physics I've done have only done with n-particle systems, where n is a number I can count on a hand. Likewise, most of the examples I'd learn in a pure math class are either (a) relatively well-behaved objects with nice properties or (b) "pathological" objects that are constructed specifically to prove a counterpoint.

The kind of pathological function that I'm referring to is neither of these. For example, what does the manifold of all 1 second clips of the word "the" look like? If the clip is sampled at 60 Hz, each clip is already in 60d space. I'm inclined to think that it's some unimaginably complicated manifold that would likely fall into the category of "edge cases", which previous commenters have mentioned and it sounds like you're discounting as nitpicking.

I don't know if this aligns with what you mean by a pathological function, and I'm happy to continue having this discussion with a more concrete example of what you mean. :)
I thought about it, too, but I guess then you really dive into the field of versioning systems and probably it won't be a database system anymore. That is also manual conflict handling...

I think branching/merging itself wouldn't be that hard to implement, at least if you have a versioned index at the very core (disclaimer: I'm also developing an Open Source temporal storage system). But then you'd have checkouts, handling conflicts...
