So you can't censor sci-hub.now.sh (at least in the US, where linking is typically protected speech). So that's one thing.

Also, the actual DNS system doesn't have a way of redirecting you to another site when the record has been censored, so it's not very resilient in the first place.

I think perhaps I could have been more perspicuous in my post, as both replies to my original post seem to focus on specifics when I'm talking about the more general case. In that regard, I'm not talking specifically about flat hierarchies, feminism or these individuals (though certainly it is true in some cases).

I tend to be a little hesitant to use the browser plugins that do autofill, I think most major vendors have had a vulnerability of some sort at some point. Doesn't mean it's unsafe, it's just the tradeoff I prefer is that I'm more likely to be phished on a single account, but less likely to have my entire DB compromised through a plugin compromise.

I'd say that the market have optimized creativly the gamepads to near 1:1 through put w/o having to think about backwards compatility.

What holds us back is the vast majority of minimum effort pencil pushers who want to spend 8 hours at work and don't care if things get done. They would never see the idea of making their job go faster say by a better keyboard and or by writing a nifty script to automate some dull toil. As long as they have a legally protected job they'll just go there 8 hours a day and don't care if they are doing something that could be automated in an hour!
The transmission towers might be easy to design for flat lands and plateaus but not so much for hilly areas.

Edit: I just think the author kind of rubbed them off is all.

You were surprised that China has red flags?

(Thank you, I'll be here all week)
I’m disappointed; this is as shallow an understanding of Taoism as you’re likely to get. Sure, there is a core religious concept called “Taoism” that can sort of be described as “everything is a zero-sum duality of a producer and a consumer, which returns to nothing in equilibrium”—but in practice, people who are Taoist have a whole bunch of other, much more interesting beliefs.

There’s an instant-classic article waiting to be written, about the usefulness of Taoism (and intertwined concepts like qigong and neidan) as a thought-paradigm for pursuing mastery in modern intellectual crafts like computer programming. (It’s a shame that Robert C. Martin isn’t versed with Taoism; he keeps rubbing up against these ideas tangentially but never colliding with them.)

There’s also a less classic, but highly entertaining article waiting to be written, comparing-and-contrasting computer programming to Taoist martial arts as practiced in Xianxia novels. Abelson and Sussman’s “programmer as wizard” analogy was close, but there’s an even better one.
I agree with your thought process. I myself would never do that and I definitely don't endorse it. OTOH, if we apply this principle to the scooter riding population, we see that the people who ride these vehicles on sidewalks are hurting random gals/guys too. These riders made a conscious choice to defy the vehicle code -- and for what? Having some fun? Failure to plan their route to include a little more time? They just don't feel like walking? I mean, how can they justify their endangering the walking public?

Which is amazingly hypocritical coming from the same administration that just passed a tax cut that will get us deeper in debt with much of that debt being held by the Chinese government.
Totally reasonable to me? Look, at the end of the day we're all humans and many of us were raised with the idea that singular they was weird or wrong. I get it, you've been wired to default to he or she. I have absolutely zero concerns if that sometimes slips and you make a quick correction and move on.

What I take note of are the folks who either make no effort to try or folks who deliberately refuse to use singular they for me. Someone who is trying and getting it wrong sometimes is someone who is trying to support me, which I always appreciate.

Just don't be obsequious when you get it wrong -- I don't need a 3 minute speech about how you really support trans people and you have a trans member of your extended family and how important it is for you and others to get this right. I've had people spend literally 10 minutes on apologies after one slip up.

There's been no change in number of trading partners as a result of the trade war.

Also worth noting that the claim is more trading partners lowers likelihood of war. War can still happen.

At some point, economic interdependence cannot save a situation where two sides desperately want to change/preserve the state of something (about the world) and those desires come into conflict.

IMO, with US-China, the best inoculation against war would be to push for multilateral engagement... in either direction. But speaking from the US side, US needs to bring other countries into the efforts to reform the aspects of the CCP's behavior that are unacceptable long term.

A good brand is a valuable form of competitive advantage. And real estate itself provides done scarcity value since each property is unique and there are limited attractive properties in high demand locations. I agree they’re in more danger from commoditization and competition than a company with strong network effects, but executed correctly they could have more natural advantage than say, a Chobani or Stitch Fix or Deciem.
This is cool. I forget how much data is made public by governments for us to “just know about”. This'll be a good time suck one of these weekends.
What’s New in Apple Filesystems [pdf]
I'm all for openness and transparency, but wouldn't an increase in US refusal to play with China just lead to more censorship and oppression by the communist Chinese government?

Consider the following:

1. The Chinese communist government derives its legitimacy to rule almost exclusively from its massive economic growth (i.e. Chinese citizens and corporations are effectively saying to themselves "I'm ok to trade some of my human rights for lots of money")

2. The Chinese communist government wishes to remain in power

So if the US decides to target Chinese economic growth - i.e. lower the amount of money that an unit of human rights could buy - this should cause the Chinese citizens and corporations to respond by exercising the human right that the Chinese government is no longer able to buy with growth. In turn, this would cause the Chinese government to use alternative methods (i.e. straight-up oppression by force) to prevent the Chinese people from becoming unruly.

This sort of pressure on the Chinese government may lead to reform (which is indeed a good thing), but it may also lead to civil / politic unrest and a massive economic slow-down that will have aftershocks around the world (which is certainly less than ideal) - and all of this pretty much will depend on how Xi decides to handle this pressure.

Here in the US, We should at least recognize that this is a risky move and take measures to protect ourselves against this (somehow)
imo that's only reasonable if we're actually roommates. if not, you should pursue a restraining order against this person, not try to restrict me from releasing my own address.

> To clarify, China doesn't "hate muslims" in the way some westerners do.

Yes, they do.

> Their current policy towards the Uyghurs in Xinjiang is a variation of a long-standing policy of sino-fication

Yes, an attitude of compulsory conformity to common tribal identity and the norms, rituals, and behaviors associated therewith is a particularly common thing in human societies, and it's exactly the main reason Muslims are targeted in the West, as well as in China.

> I get that most westerners would view this ethos as reprehensible

A sizable and politically powerful subset of westerners actively support the same kind of ethos and keeping pushing it into government in much of the West, and object to sinofication not because of a drive against such conformity but only because not doing so for any other culture undermines the propaganda supporting their own cultural conformity efforts.
The challenge, as with many things in life, is to strike a good balance. In this case between being bold and being a good team player at the same time.

What I have tried to do in the past is:

1) Take an idea out to a "proof of concept" stage, whether that is a white paper or an actual functioning demo but no further. People often need to see something, not just hear it.

2) Have a cosponsor or two to work with you. At first you may think that you are not getting full credit for your idea but I believe it shows more leadership than just striking out on your own. Plus you don't want your team to despise you like that aforementioned engineer.

3) Be humble, solicit feedback, and really listen to it!

I'm in several pages now and don't see a single number of double digit injuries let alone a dozen or multiple dozens.

Several of the ones I've clicked through to the source on seem to be counting people injured in things other than the shooting (e.g. brawl injures X, dude draws gun, shoots one person = 1 dead, X injuries).

The fact that they call the page "Mass Shootings in 2019" when even they say in their about-us[0] that they attempt to catalog each and every shooting seems to indicate a bias (to put it mildly). Edit: actually I'm wrong, I was only looking at the "Mass shootings" portion of their data. Their definition of "mass" seems to be "4+ people injured and/or killed including people not injured/killed" which seems slimy considering how they seem to be counting injuries. That said, they seem to be a pretty damn good source for raw information and generally unbiased with their numbers.

Edit: got through all the 2019 results (couldn't get CSV export to work with my browser) and found exactly two results for a dozen.

One event[1] has 6 dead, 6 injured but the source doesn't mention any of the people injured other than the 5 victims and one gunman who died, maybe an error in the data?

The other event is the Virginia Beach shooting.

In any case I think it's safe to conclude that events where a dozen people get shot happen less than monthly.

The different in production cost between the US and the current origin countries is vast, but not even the only factor. There were stories a few years ago highlighting how the iPhone could not have been built in the US on the schedule Apple demanded at any price.

But if scheduling is ignored, then the only issue becomes cost.
As someone who just spends a lot of time in engineering slack channels, comments seem to alternate every other day on how hard or how easy it is to raise money.

Perhaps the government in India hasn't yet figured out how to print money like the Chinese Communist Party?

It's circular :)

I looked into that myself, but the number of cores didn't compare to that of GPUs - the cost was right, though. I don't know if those boards were better than a GPU or what? Maybe they were more optimized for compute than what a GPU is? I was kinda looking at them for playing more with ML (I've gotten tensorflow with CUDA working well on my 750 ti GPU and it wasn't bad - but the cost for something better beyond a 900 series was crazy at the time).

This seems to be very much change for the sake of it.

"The traditional desktop computer is struggling to adapt the simple interfaces of mobile devices while also keeping its focus on productivity."

No, no, it isn't. Desktop is far more productive than mobile ever will be or can be.

"The desktop computer hasn’t changed much in the last 30 years. It’s still built on windows, folders and mouse input. But we have changed. We now use smartphones and tablets most of the time, since they are much easier to use."

No, they're not. The reason why the desktop hasn't changed much in 30 years is because it works.

It may not be the prettiest or the most modern or even the easiest for a new computer user to navigate, but it works damned well for getting work done. That's why windows and mice are still around... they just work. This project... doesn't look like it does that.
if you're talking about paragraphs: DEAR GOD NO.

Paragraphs should be 40-80 ems wide if you want them to be readable. My phone has first class support for horizontal scrolling and it still sucks.

Now if you're just talking about window management then yes I totally agree with you (See X11 "pagers" (a different approach to "workspaces") that are part of FVWM and TWM.)

Edit: I should probably include an argument instead of just an opinion: obviously scrolling is a necessity, you can’t fit all the information you want on one screen and paging is (IMO) generally worse. When you’re reading a document or paragraph you’re concerned about context. Really scrolling here in general is bad but you’re moving left and right so often enough that it makes the most sense to just wrap text and have vertical scrolling (with an image the scrolling direction really doesn’t matter it just sucks in general.) switching windows (or whatever) usually indicates some kind of mental context switch (looking at a different source file, looking at build errors, etc.) and so it doesn’t matter so much if you have to scroll (Although you’d naturally try to keep things with shared context close, preferably within one physical screen of each other, because no scrolling is still always better.)
