Do you understand that PLA can march into HK without any tricks, invariably of that?

I'd also mention that there were many times in the past when Beijing genuinely considered that option.

During yellow umbrella protests last year for examples, 3 regiments in Guandong province were not simply put into high readiness, but actually mobilised, i.e. troops issued ammo, and vehicles fuelled and armed.

I will not be surprised if a bigger operation is underway right now, and we simply don't know it. VPNs have been jammed 24/7 for more than a week, more intensively than even during 4.6 anniversary. New bootstrapping IP ranges are blocked within minutes on major VPNs. I've never ever seen it being so extreme ever.
Searching for "Coin Toss" worked for me.
US killed Huawei overnight, a world-class competitor which was basically beating US companies, using pretty shoddy justification. So I would not rule out no one can challenge China, China is not the US. And even if it were Vietnam still beat their ass.
Nearly all of the ones ahead of the USA are clearly city-states or oil/gas sources. Both are unreasonable comparisons. The city-states could properly be compared with Manhattan. The oil/gas sources may have a high GDP, but the typical people tend to be in poverty. Ireland and Switzerland are the only clear exceptions, and both are rather small countries. Norway is an oil/gas source, but might also be an exception because things are run a bit better than they are in the typical oil/gas source.
This would be a perfect addition to Clasp Common Lisp (also extensive C++ FFI stuff)
Data Confusion at the Edge: An Unpredictable Impact on AI Systems
A key nuance is that open source has largely only devalued software that any competent software engineer could write. In this sense, open source replaces software that was essentially selling labor rather than expertise. A developer always has the option to write this software themselves if they don't want to pay for it. The price of a product of undifferentiated labor will converge on the cost of that labor in a well-functioning market, which in the case of open source is effectively zero.

On the other hand, software that requires rare and difficult to acquire expertise -- software development where competence is insufficient -- faces little threat from open source in practice. This creates two-tier markets that differentiate on the replicability of capability. Products that are replicable by any software developer eventually will be in open source. But there are still large gaps in capabilities between closed and open source in some markets because the average software developer has no obvious way to replicate those capabilities on a purely technical level.

In essence, you can only make money if you are doing hardcore R&D. This strongly incentivizes the creation of new capabilities but also disincentivizes publication of CS research.

You see this in markets like databases, where open source has captured almost the entire market for undifferentiated capabilities, and there is a lucrative high-end market with unique product capabilities that don't exist in open source or CS literature. The trend toward treating CS research as trade secrets, originally started because algorithm patents were impractical to enforce, turned out to be effective at maintaining profitability in high-end software products if open source can't replicate capability.
In the contemporary Common Lisp ecosystem, software is distributed via Quicklisp[1], which is a centralized software repository, where, once a month, a new software distribution is created, encompassing the most recent releases of all software included in the dist. This means that changes in software can take up to a month to be reflected in Quicklisp.

Ultralisp is a Quicklisp-compatible distribution, except it's a bleeding-edge one. Each time a piece of software included in it releases a new version/release/commit, a new dist is created, and the modified software is available in Ultralisp within minutes.

But this is worse. The article doesn't focus on switching around your routine at all! It's not even about effectiveness of training, it's about total energy output.

It's a HN comment that repeats a trope and then people on HN complain that it's obvious.
This is nothing but a temporary delay. It will still be passed soon enough. Remember Hong Kong is on a 50 year countdown anyway so there’s always an inevitable end coming.

Really? I would prefer more things were GPLv3/AGPLv3. Open source today is just a bunch of middleware, but few end products. People today use open source software to build closed source solutions. It's a far cry from what a lot of us envisioned back in the 90s. I wrote about this before:

Genius pays royalties for using the lyrics - if their own site is to believed (and why wouldn’t it?) they’ve struck deals with every major music publisher to license display of lyrics. I don't see how that's relevant to Google taking the rest of Genius's work (data entry/proofing/etc).
GDDR4 is also affected?
I was mostly thinking of the science fictional trope of all mankind's knowledge being in a centralized thing-- e.g. Encyclopedia Galactica. For both societal and technical reasons (especially golden age) SF was often oriented towards benevolent centralized governments.

I seem to remember Invoke and BeginInvoke in Windows Forms work by using SendMessage or PostMessage to send a reference to the delegate to the message queue. I vaguely remember apartment threading in COM does this as well.
Caniuse says that IE11 has a lot of bugs regarding flexbox. Firefox supports flexbox only since 2013-2014. So it would make sense to add a simple non-responsive fallback for older browsers.

Also, if I remember correctly, the default browser in Windows 7 is IE9. It makes sense to support default browser in the most popular desktop OS.

Some of older browsers, released in 2012-2014 support flexbox only with vendor prefixes, but the article doesn't has rules with prefix. As frontend devs tend to copy the code without much thinking, we cannot expect that they will add the prefixes or fallback code themselves. So it will be author's responsibility for web sites being less accessible in different browsers.
Just another orchestrated event like current events in Moldova in response to recent Russia-China positive meeting at SPIF 2019
I don't think that's true. The police cast a wide net and will question anyone they think might have something to do with a crime. Especially if they don't have good leads to go on. Being uncooperative can definitely raise suspicions.

Watching the first 48 (a show following murder investigations) I'd break it down to:

(1) people that are guilty and think things like "he had it coming" or "my buddy was just supposed to rob him" help their case. They admit to capital crimes when trying to lessen their guilt.

(2) people the police think are guilty and ineffectively lie. They probably don't hurt or help themselves.

(3) people the police aren't sure of. They can talk themselves in or out of suspicion based on their guilt and/or ability to effectively lie.

The group that get coerced into confessing to a crime is a very small percentage of people interviewed.
Violent protests != violent coup
Clang has some code base and speed advantages, but the big reason the large players like Apple are grabbing onto it is licensing. A lot of companies really want to move away from any GPL stuff. It's sad since so much of what we have in the Linux ecosystem came from GNU.
Maybe OC doesn't care about "making us Americans look good"?

Talk about emphasizing your personal narrative.
As others have pointed out, HK government is not historically oppressive, physically speaking. So if the protesters initiate violence without being provoked, mass opinions may change real quick.

IMO we better consider this on a case-by-case basis. If non-violent protests can and will work in more places in future, why not?
I believe this to be largely the exact opposite in US and in large parts of Western Europe. Parents are indeed using their retirement savings to support their kids as they grow older and older (be that education, housing, cars, weddings, ...).

Caveat emptor: quick googling didn’t come up with evidence one way or the other.
Cancel the protests, you're 100 years too late... Or are you?
I agree with what your saying. As they optimise more and more, they "fly closer to the sun". That would be ok as long as the models/sim tools were accurate, but as you say they are not so much, which means there is not as much room for error.
This is merely a list of the "critical Internet services or libraries" that he claims in one way or another, and ensuring the maintenance of such software is part of the whole thesis.

It would be a huge risk. China is on the ropes in the political theater. Sending military troops to put down civilians in a free trade capital of the world would not earn them any favors.
I feel the opposite, I’m glad we don’t need these protests because the solution is to just go out and vote.

I don't think so. For instance, pro cyclist have been doing nothing but cycling training for years and years. And still, this effect shows up a few weeks into a Grand Tour.

As they mention at the end of the article, from gorging research (eating as much as possible to gain weight) it is also known that the body can't ingest more calories than about 2.5x times the normal daily energy output. So it's more likely that that is the limiting factor -- in the first weeks you have some reserves to burn, but when those are gone your body doesn't burn more energy than it can take in.
I wouldn't be so sure. If the entire US decided to gang up on one city, especially a city with a strong identity (New York or Boston) then you might see this.

Look at how New York responded after 9/11. Now put yourself in the shoes of the people of Hong Kong. When a group of people come to believe they are facing an existential threat, they respond in extraordinary ways.
A function could be compiled assuming the passed argument is always 2. All of the code for other values is just left out.

As long as the compiled code has a check for values that are not 2 this code works great. It isn't correct though.

At least, that's my interpretation.
If they earnestly believe their wellbeing is immediately threatened, then what is your theory for why they don't care to mass protest about it?
That's largely due to the arbitrary way county lines are drawn. Parts of San Francisco and Manhattan are far wealthier than the DC suburbs, but they share a county with lots of poor people who drag the median household income down.
Be fair )). Marshrutki are the fastest way to get from region to region as long as you don't care about your well-being or appearance when you get there ;) When I need to get 15km across town fast in SPB rush hour I take a marshrutka.

Jokes aside, I honestly am surprised megastores haven't come up with an equivalent in the US. Last I visited my family, I was frustrated because in an admittedly small City, a walk to a grocery store that was 1 mile away as the crow flies was either a 3 mile walk on safe paths or required the car. It just seems logical to me that you can bring more people in to spend if they can actually get to your location. Uber and other taxi-likes aren't really the same because the cost for a private ride is prohibitive for some to use it regularly like you'd use a marshrutka. But surely Walmart, shopping malls/centers, and other such commerce areas would benefit from a string of vans on regular intervals just picking up and dropping people off on a direct route.
You should provide more than that. It’s not just server resources but data entry and proofing and whatever else goes into making their product.

Genius pays royalties for using the lyrics - I don’t see why the fact that they don’t belong to Genius is relevant. If Amazon licenses a TV show that Netflix also licensed, it doesn’t give them the right to copy Netflix’s UI, descriptions, transcoded/edited video streams, etc.
Penn's diet started out eating only potatoes for two weeks. There was a nutrition professor that ate only Twinkies and lost 27 lbs. There might be a difference in how you feel, but you can lose weight eating anything.

An average HKer: I don't trust China's Justice system, which is heavily influenced by their government. I could be sent to China for made-up crime.

An average Chinese: Its a shame that HK as a part of China has Extradition treaties with all other countries but not Macau/Taiwan/Mainland (historical law by british). Imagine the same case for Hawaii and US Mainland.

Not to mention shin splints, torn Achilles, etc.

Of course there are diminishing returns if you are running for the purpose of living a longer, healthier life.

As far what we “evolved for”. There is no evolutionary benefit of living past the age where you can pass on your genes and endure the next generation can do the same. There is no evolutionary pressure for a people to live pass that age.

Evolution would never favor a trait that would allow a population to live be 100 instead of 60.
No idea why they found it appropriate to prevent services from interacting with the desktop post-XP.

Well, HK is the most powerful financial center in Asia, not to mention a recent UK colony. It has far more Western leverage against China than say Taiwan.

Germany broadly prohibits the extradition of its citizens [1]. (As does China [2].) This doesn’t turn Germans and Chinese into lawless actors outside their borders. It just means their international crimes tend to be domestically prosecuted.

There are many ways to solve the problem of cross-border crime. Extradition is one of them. It works when you have two jurisdictions with rule of law. It is a bad solution between Hong Kong and China.

> This is an interesting statement that not only includes the statement that the Disney movie is based on earlier works, but also a value judgement at the same time. At what point do we declare something a "rip-off" vs. an "homage" or simply be content saying it was "based on" or "inspired by" some earlier, original work?

Interesting you should mention this.

My guess is that there are possibly 'bad' factors in play. For example, these 2 I can think of (there might be more):

1) The newer version might not contain enough original quality content. So it took the good parts from the original, and did not add anything substantive to it.

2) Or the newer version isn't referring to the original at all, pretending being the original.

I suppose we can simply translate the terms "rip-off" and "homage" to "based on" or "inspired by" instead (for lack of better term). This allows everyone to draw their own judgement. In that sense, calling something a "rip-off" is akin to name calling.

(The irony being here that my comment is largely based on yours. I'm reusing the definitions you mentioned, word for word.)

I don't think so. Take GCC or Clang, for example. While I have taken a lot of compiler courses at university, I couldn't build a production compiler for a real language, without dedicating a decade of my life or so to it.

What Open Source projects really bring to the table is massive manpower over decades. Those projects that become popular, at least. And then no smaller dev shop (or single developer except Fabrice Bellard and a handful others) can possibly compete.
The US has a version of free speech that is more open than others and a good example for others (speaking as someone not from or in the US). You can say things in the US that would get you brought into a human rights tribinal in Canada. That could land you in jail in Germany or expelled elswhere. You do have limits around other's rights and terrorism but they try to strike a balance like most western nations. But the fact that free speech is a right by default is very different from other nations where its easier to censor if the view isn't morally acceptable.
Ask HN: What to read after “Thinking in Systems”?
I recently finished thinking in systems and i want to learn more.So i am looking for book reccomendation.If possible any books related to programming and math and systems thinking.
I'm being deliberately misleading? Have you ever looked in a mirror?

This conversation started because YOU referred to GDP PPP as just "GDP". There is a reason that "List of Countries by GDP (nominal)" and "List of Countries by GDP (PPP) per capita" are separate articles on Wikipedia.

Hint: it's because the two metrics are different, and conflating them is misleading, whether deliberate or not.

You arbitrarily deciding that the only way to measure the wealth of a nation is with GDP per capita doesn't mean you can call anyone who doesn't use that same metric (and instead uses a more common one) wrong. Again, we are talking about the wealth of a nation as a whole. Not the wealth of individual Americans.
That’s bad. It’s not nearly as bad as “my way of life and the way of life for all my friends and family is completely at risk”
> They've made it. The Chief Executive apologized and the government has suspended the fugitive law amendment. That's really a RARE concession in these years because the Chinese government typically doesn't compromise at all under pressure.

First, the government is suspending the law amendment, not retracting it. The law amendment could be revived in a month or two--that is, after enough leaders have been arrested and the protest cools down, just like how they cold-handled the Umbrella protest in 2014, or many other protests in China--for all we know now.

Second, the government is arresting people under the charge of "riot" [1]--despite HN'ers labeling such protest as non-violent, the charge of riot means a maximum term of 10 years--and they arrest people even by violating patients' privacy and eroding trust from patients to doctors [2]. If charged, some protesters have to pay a high price, joining others who have been paying the price due to Umbrella protest.

I would not say they have made it until the law is at least retracted.

The other 5/7 may watch TVB - a HK TV channel of which to many people is their only news source, and which has since been bought by mainlanders, just like many other media and publishing assets in HK - and believe in something totally else.

No joke, if you watch only TVB news, you will think the HK government is doing a great job and these protesters are arrogant, dis-obedient trouble-makers.

The gap in understanding can be really really big.

Accusing ESR and the rest of the NTPsec project of fraud is a very serious claim. Could you explain in more detail why contemplating rewriting of most or all of the project in Go as he was learning the language is such a definitive tell?
I find the modern web insufferable. Personally, I prefer the style of hacker news. It’s a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of the bloated, vapid web. I like that some designer hasn’t gotten ahold of the style sheet and replaced all the content with whitespace.
Also, China has explicitly stated that want HK and Macau to join the same system as the rest of China.

It’s just a matter of time.
Warning: I interviewed with them and was given a task with an obscure library to learn which had a veeeery long API. When I pointed out that it was unreasonable for them to expect me to learn this unknown library, which was not even in the job spec, they ghosted me. Complete waste of time.

Although pro sportspeople can have huge energy outputs in single matches, those that go to extremes (like marathons on consecutive days for weeks, or riding a Grand Tour race, or being pregnant -- they looked at a wide range of things) won't exceed 2.5 times their normal "rest" energy output per day, after a few weeks. Even if their pace doesn't go down much, so they become more efficient after those weeks.

There is also research from gorging for weight gain that concludes that the body can't take in more than 2.5x the daily "rest" energy use in calories, so the two seem linked.
Define “killed”. Huawei seems to be around last I checked.
