Don't let Tianamen take your eyes off what the Chinese are doing right now.

In Xinjiang prison camps. Non-Han (mostly Moslem and Christian) Chinese citizens are imprisoned indefinitely in "reeducation" programs while simultaneously a campaign encouraging Han Chinese to migrate to Xinjiang is underway. The situation resembles Stalin's migration and imprisonment programs that killed off whole segments of Russian society during his reign.

Included are forced organ donation (death):

As someone who grew up in Russia and went to school in Russia in the 90s and early 2000s, this is not true.

I would be curious what your sources are, if any.

Just because there is limited freedom of the press in Russia doesn’t mean it’s a Stalinist dystopia.
Isn’t that true of any notorious criminal act in any country? It doesn’t seem like a diversion of what “news” is and what people are interested in reading about.
Its crazy to think in a couple thousand lines of code you could build a language implementation
lol. well, truthfully, i was trying to make a serious statement.

i figured mentioning a proponent of big tech breakup with valid legal credentials and a different political axe to grind might be useful evidence in deciding whether the antitrust case had any merit.

(i believe the Vox article is trying to be serious as well.)
Its most likely state law in California and not a federal law. A lot of states require employers to allow paid breaks.

Ask HN: Team Bookmarking?
Hello! I wanted to ask what people here use for team bookmarking at work, and then ask for feedback for a concept I've been working on!

I previously created a tool about a year ago as a more useful "new tab" page to let me have all of the links I access at my fingertips: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17243986

Today, I have exactly three users: myself, my wife, and one paying customer (who is fantastic.) I decided the renew the domain, and decided to re-purpose this into a "bookmarking for teams" application.

The goal is to allow people to have links that they use every day right at their fingertips, and to make the "new tab" page more useful. Also to allow a company, or a team within a company, to quickly share relevant links with employees. The hope is to avoid the pain of "I know I saw a link in slack" or "I know I have a google doc here somewhere..."

What do you all use today? Is this something that would be useful? And, would you be willing to provide feedback on my little wireframe? https://invis.io/SRS9Y64FHED
> I met a Uber driver the other day who drives 5000 miles per month. Clearly that is close to exploitation.

It seems to me like you skipped a step or two in your explanation there. What inherently makes driving 5000 miles per month exploitation? There are many paid driving gigs (some employee, some owner-operator) that drive at least that much and I'm not sure I'd classify any of them as exploitative.
I recommend the Search and Switch container[1] extension for that. You open a new tab, type 'co <container name' and it reloads that tab into the given container. For example, I have a container for all things Google, called "Google", and the extension use would go like this 'co google', or even 'co goo'. It's smart enough to figure it out.

Plus, you can also move existing tabs into a given container the same way, not just new tabs, all at the cost of a single tab refresh.

Not sure what you mean by “everything in banking is super slow”. Maybe things are slow where you live.

For money transfer (which is one part of banking), India has (had, for several years,) a few systems where money from any bank to any other bank in the country can be transferred in a matter of a few seconds or a few minutes depending on the transfer platform that the end user uses. There are no intermediaries in such transactions, like PayPal or something else. Nor are there any electronic systems that take a few days for transfer during working days.
From the article:

> Before blockchain, a transaction took, on average, two phone calls and four emails to arrange, and two days to close. The sale of larger parts such as engines could take weeks of sending quotes and exchanging documentation. With blockchain, a buyer can locate a part and purchase it immediately.

I still see no reason that can't be solved with a website and a database, and I'd be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that's 90% of what it's actually doing, with perhaps some sort of blockchain tacked on to the side so it can get a good marketing story.
Also assumes the laws are perfect and fair.

The point is using Alexa to control your lights is an amenity like built-in speakers... and also makes obviously sense to integrate with built-in speakers.

You've hit on the center of the sheer arrogance of these tech bros and authoritarians.

Freedom isn't a failure because people make suboptimal decisions. Freedom was NEVER SUPPOSED to lead to people making their best decisions. It's a safeguard against something inevitably far worse, which is having to obey the type of people all up and down this thread who want to impose their ideas about how much sugar I should eat and how often I'm permitted to drink.

I'd literally prefer to give myself diabetes and die of alcoholism than live 90 healthy years under the command of someone else's thumb. I don't care how benevolent you perceive yourself, I don't care smart you think you are, I don't care how subtly you think you can meddle and shape my actions to your own values without me noticing.

YOU HAVE NOT SOLVED LIFE. STOP INTERFERING WITH PEOPLE.
Followed by “what is the time and space complexity?”
heh, ya I missed two aces because of that bug :P
In my experience this can happen for two distinct reasons (not exclusively):

1. The StackOverflow Reflex, where the person responding doesn't believe you've actually explored other solutions sufficiently because in their experience the vast majority of the time the person asking for help hasn't actually explored other solutions effectively. This may feel like bad faith (from either side), but it could just be the asker's inexperience with other solutions that cause them to not apply them correctly.

2. They don't know how to do Y, but they know how to do X really well so they want to make sure you haven't missed anything in your attempt to make X work. Remember that different people have different expertise and may want to try to help solve your problem even if they don't know how to solve it with your chosen solution.

I think askers often don't recognize that explaining why T-X won't work in their case is actually very helpful to fully understand the problem, even if the person helping ends up solving Y directly. If you're asking for help solving a complex problem, sometimes you have to teach the problem to the person helping you. And that's ok.
A business model based on receiving user payment, a stated mission of protecting privacy, and a history of resisting government attempts to compromise privacy, all provide some reason to trust Apple more than most other companies. A business model based on profiting from private personal information (often obtained in sneaky ways) leaves almost no room to trust Google. For those reasons, Trust(Apple) >> Trust(Google). With that said, I don't trust Apple any more than I have to for the conveniences that are useful to me.
Nobody's saying it is. But surely if USB-C is a little bit closer to MagSafe in terms of coming out a little more easily, that's a good thing?

Asking Smart Questions
One thing I hate is when the XY problem gets encoded into a knowledge base:

1. It's common for people trying to do Y to ask about X, which is a bad way to accomplish Y.
2. I'm trying to accomplish Z, for which X is a perfectly good option.
3. Every answer on stack overflow for "How to X" is people assuming the XY problem and answering "here's how you do Y instead".

I'm not sure what devices you have now, but I've moved completely to usb-c and love it. I threw out all my other cables, and have usb-c charging on every floor of my house and car.

I have my macbook pro and Pixel 3 as my main devices. For travel I have the Sony 1000mx3 headphones, Aiwejay toothbrush, Xiaomi shaver, the Innergie 60W charger (way way smaller than the Macbook brick). And at home I have the A7iii camera and Sandisk external ssd. I even have some bonus devices like the Daydream remote is usb-c and my Logitech Brio webcam.

There's a couple of things I'm still shopping for (dashcam, presentation remote, flashlight, studio microphone, and 4-input audio interface) but those will happen over the next year I imagine.
A couple things off the top of my head from teaching high school physics:

It would make the direction of current the same as the flow of charge.

It would make electric fields predict the force on electrons.

It would make the right-hand rule for magnetic fields work for electrons and instead of the left-hand rule.

That’s a false claim. Have you heard of people losing their wallets or about cold storage for cryptocurrency wallets to prevent others from stealing what one has? A cryptocurrency wallet is not anymore secure than the device it resides on and the security policies and practices used for the device.

A digression: in effect of the secret protocol being signed, then-USSR attacked Poland on 17-th of September 1939 (co-starting the 2WW, together with Germany). Wikipedia articles describing this "event" are typically named "Soviet invasion of Poland" or "Soviet occupation of East Poland", or something similar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Poland

The Russian version is titled: "Polish march/hike/walk of the Red Army (1939)", and Russian speaking Wikipedians don't like the idea of changing the title.
They have very different understandings of "high-res image" and "full size image" than I do.

I'm wondering if this is related to a TV show I saw tracking household cats in the UK. I can't remember if it was Derby or not. They did a lot of GPS tracking and showed that cats often 'share' territory by time-sharing; one cat's schedule tends not to overlap another's.

There were also TONS of instances of cats going into multiple homes for meals. Sometimes sneaking in the cat door and snacking while the residents were unaware.
Big brand, yes. I've never done any marketing, but I see testimonials as a common technique. No idea how to go about it, however.
> we can worry about the problems of hyper-density when it's actually here

I think we should actively work against hyper dense cities. Or at least have the citizens decide about how dense they want their city to become (but then they'll have to live with the consequences). Right now we are facing dense cities and try to somehow adjust the policies after the fact. That seems not ideal.
I wish it was common knowledge that large and influential companies and the government have VERY strong ties. It’s how the entire upper echelon of the world works, for better or for worse.

The existence of the reeducation camps is also well documented.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_re-education_camps?wp...
Yes. That is one way to think about the invisible high risk pools and reinsurance plans that some states have now for their ACA plans. Essentially they cap the per-individual risk in each pool and transfer the excess to the state as a whole. Several national plans like that have been proposed in Congress over the years but have failed mostly for partisan reasons.
The end stage of "having others think for us" is indentured servitude. Should we pass a Constitutional amendment to legalize that, too? Should we go back to the deeply repugnant idea that there are "natural" masters, and "natural" serfs? This makes no sense whatsoever. Freedom is an end, not just a means to something else. We are not made better off by having our freedoms restrained in arbitrary ways.

As a one who had to study history from Soviet textbooks, as far as I remember there was no such thing as Secret Protocols to that pact. Correct me if I am wrong, but the Soviet invasion of Poland did not happen (and Katyn massacre was work of Germans) and Baltic states asked to be "admitted" into Union (all of them, almost simultaneously). The winter war with Finland of course was Finnish provocation, for which they had to pay by giving up parts of Karelia.
I wouldn't be surprised that officially endorsed interpretation of history in modern Russia is not far from what it was back then.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tTBWfkE7BXU

What you mention is already the case, it is fully within the interest of the decentralized power holders and policy makers for them to control the population via the information that's fed to them, that's why the Iraq invasion happened in the first place, that's why the US continues to try spread fear about Iran or China.

There is no way to destroy that machinery, only repurpose it for different means
> Plenty of part time employment is like that. For example, many people that work retail or service part time have very flexible schedules. They typically have an availability chart and then if they need a day off last minute, they are often required to find someone else to cover for them.

I think you are missing a large part of it. The "gig" economy is "on-demand" labor. There is no schedule to coordinate at the "worker level". Just a network of demand and a worker pool that grows and shrinks to meet demand.
