> In its "unavoidable" final conclusion, the China Tribunal found forced organ harvesting has been committed for years throughout China on a significant scale, primarily sourcing body parts from detained Falun Gong practitioners, and possibly also an ethnic minority called the Uyghurs (although other groups are also targeted).

Oddly enough Falun Gong enjoyed approval from the Chinese Government in the early 90s:

> According to David Ownby, Professor of History and Director of the Center for East Asian Studies at the Université de Montréal, Li became an "instant star of the qigong movement",[119] and Falun Gong was embraced by the government as an effective means of lowering health care costs, promoting Chinese culture, and improving public morality. In December 1992, for instance, Li and several Falun Gong students participated in the Asian Health Expo in Beijing, where he reportedly "received the most praise [of any qigong school] at the fair, and achieved very good therapeutic results", according to the fair's organizer.[15] The event helped cement Li's popularity, and journalistic reports of Falun Gong's healing powers spread.[15][20] In 1993, a publication of the Ministry of Public Security praised Li for "promoting the traditional crime-fighting virtues of the Chinese people, in safeguarding social order and security, and in promoting rectitude in society."

That changed when the organization refused to become more closely aligned with the regime:

> In 1995, Chinese authorities began looking to Falun Gong to solidify its organizational structure and ties to the party-state.[53] Li was approached by the Chinese National Sports Committee, Ministry of Public Health, and China Qigong Science Research Association (CQRS) to jointly establish a Falun Gong association. Li declined the offer. The same year, the CQRS issued a new regulation mandating that all qigong denominations establish a Communist Party branch. Li again refused.

Provide contradicting evidence for your assertion.
Technically, not a refutation because a statistical analysis never refutes a hypothesis, only supports it with a certain probability or does not support it. That is, a negative result is inconclusive. No, I do not think "poking holes" should be incentivised - I believe REPLICATIONS of studies should be incentivised, because every study = a sample. Statistically, the more samples, the better able we are to filter through the noise. What you suggest will encourage scientific sensationalism.
I'm not from the USA, so I can't vote, but IMHO if the candidate truly cares about human rights will condemn equally and publicly the crimes in China, Saudi Arabia or any other country , if it only talks about the Chinese or Iranian one, just when there's a big manipulation campaign against those countries I know that candidate is a liar and is scamming the voters who fall for it.
Also it's the same card some US people play when they are told about the abuses of their government/businesses, hey look at Iran , look at China, ...
To be honest, Thunderbird isn't the most shining e-mail client. First of all, its UI lacks appeal (for example, it doesn't support viewing conversations in a single page, although you can install a plugin for it). And it is sometimes pretty sluggish (probably because it is made with XULRunner, similar to Electron)

But I still use Thunderbird despite all these problems. It is the only email client that supports both Windows and Linux, supports HTML, and doesn't require you to create an account and connect to a third-party DB to use it (I'm looking at you, Mailspring!)

The US has a strong trade and military relationship with KSA, despite their utterly appalling human rights record. It's entirely legitimate to say "If this is really about human rights, why are you selling hundreds of billions of dollars of weapons to an authoritarian regime?". That isn't whataboutism, it's a fundamental critique of the motivations of foreign policy decisions.

Analogy: Joe and Paul are gangsters with a nasty reputation. Paul is in hiding because the police department have declared him public enemy number 1, while Joe was a guest of honor at the last police benevolent society dinner. Are you not at least the tiniest bit skeptical about whether the police chief is really trying to fight crime?

Falun Gong are primarily the same ethnic group as majority: han. They are oppressed because the Communist Party cannot accept any rival ideology, even if it's a non-violent, peaceful spiritual ideology, because that might loosen their grip on the population.

I'm sure there are utilitarian communists out there who would argue that, yes, terrible, terrible, but necessary for the greater good.

You lack a basic understanding of what the term 'invent' is. There are evidential documents to support the findings.
I see where you're coming from.

I guess to me, it makes no moral difference. The means corrupt the end. The Nazis managed to get some useful science out of the Jews during the Holocaust, but it's hard to see that as a silver lining.

I think that if you're at the level of making those kinds of choices, you're already living in hell.
That's an interesting perspective, but faced with an immediate painful death I doubt science would be on your mind. Not to mention that it's not known if the research obtained is useful at all. There's already a serious crisis in Chinese science in terms of falsified results.
Perfect comment. Thank you.

Basically at this point, (((which we have been talking abt for literally decades [nobody ever even believed Echelon existed, six-degrees, PRISM, Stuxnet, Duqu, etc.... -- and this doesnt even take into consideration FB, GOOG, ATT, CARNIVORE, etc etc etc WHERE THE FUCK IS PALANTIR on HN???]))) one must accept that no matter what if you have a machine, They have you.

Is this actually proven?

KSA outright levels cities with minorities in them, so am not sure how they're better.

> repression, censorship, and extralegal assassinations are all in a day's work for the PRC

As far as I know, China does not repress women anywhere near the level that KSA does, nor does it require 'guardians', nor does it perform public beheading, prosecute people for 'witchcraft etc. so while am not claiming China is great, I am fairly certain it's less repressive than the KSA overall.
It took me a while to realize this. It wasn't until there was a post about something I was an expert on. I finally realized people respond here often with little knowledge or even no knowledge at all. It made me question everything I read before on this site.
People must understand that increasing 1.5ºC of yearly average of global temperature is not the same as the increase of 1.5ºC in any particular day in their local city.

It is not only not evenly distributed around the world (this chart, and the monthly ones on https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/maps/index_v4.html gives a different picture), that is the average could well mean 10+ ºC in their particular area in several given days (this week there was like 40ºC in Poland, and there was over 50ºC in India and Vietnam the previous one) while decrease in others, that is not just how they feel temperature, but also what is affected by it in larger areas (more energy to fuel extreme weather events, including the ones that brings extreme cold), and that the regions with the bigger increase in temperature have also several of the possitive feedback loop factors for increasing the global temperature even more.

You don't need 100ºC to get a lethal temperature, with half of that (it is becoming increasingly common), depending on hidration and humidity, a lot of people will die. And you die in a particular place/day, not in a global yearly average, after you are dead doesn't matter if the next week the temperature is bearable. And the food sources that feed billions of people must survive too. And the complex ecosystem that enables that you, and your food sources survive as it is now, even if you are not aware of how something that just got extinct was essential, should survive too.
How does incinerating a contaminated radioactive object help clean up the accident?

That sounds like a "Dilute the pollution by pouring it into the ocean" solution. Isn't burial the better option?
Can't have that though, people could end up in very dangerous places. I'll just say that the government probably has secrets. Hiding spots. Research projects. Etc etc. If you think governments aren't using the property of élites to squirrel things like that away you're being a bit naive. The last thing we'd want is some kid stumbling over some irradiated or bio-infested wasteland that happens to look really cool. Or maybe just seeing something they shouldn't?

Biltmore seems enormous, and far more than any family needed for a living space. But now we're starting to hear about things the government has done there over the years, and you get the sense that we've likely not heard about it all. And that's just stuff from the Gilded Age. Technology has advanced considerably.

If we are dead set on having a right to roam, then at the very least, you can't be able to sue the government or any landowner for any negative impact that you may incur by roaming. Like coming home and infecting your family or your school or whatever. A landowner should be able to post a sign that says, "danger: stay out" or something, and then you choose whether to stay out. But the consequences of the choice have to be on you. (But only for government type stuff. I don't believe a landowner should be able to lay booby traps for instance. But if the government has something going there, like at Biltmore? Well, they said "stay out", and you didn't. So that should be on you.)
A better, longer term, structural solution to this is investing in education and fostering a culture of environmental awareness from childhood. Instead, in the US, we keep defunding the EPA and denouncing scientists sacrificing their lives to appease the needs of rich people to increase the value of their equity.
Reminds me of the Gell-Mann amnesia effect for news reporting. It's worth remembering when reading comments on anything.

That's the flip side of tolerance to failures. If it weren't that way, people who created startups, attracted VC funding and failed would go to jail, or at least shamed and put on a black list and become unemployable for life. You really want that to happen?
Don't all federal government jobs generally require US citizenship?
In the context of someone stating their presidential preference I don't think this logic applies. It's legitimate to ask why someone would make this particular topic their single issue.

There are many potential human rights issues, abroad and at home at stake, so the question why the topic of China takes priority is a valid one.
> suggesting a wrong isn't wrong because of others actions of wrong

Except I didn't claim that anywhere. All I claim is that any U.S. stance such as the OP would like to see is likely not principled, so actually voting on this issue is not a good idea, in my opinion anyway.
PostgreSQL has progressively reduced the number of optimisation boundaries that are encountered with views-on-views situations, but you can still wind up telling the database to churn and slosh a whole bunch of data from which you only cherry-pick a tiny portion.

I have definitely been guilty of failing to test how my schemata behave with large data sets.

Oh then there's ORMs. I've seen ActiveRecord spit out some frankly batshit insane queries that would stump a room of Einsteins. But somehow PostgreSQL picked it up, chopped it into a plan and got to work plowing through an incredibly wasteful and repetitious query.
I bet you watched Tim Cook's commencement address, applauded the closing sentence "...you can’t take it with you. You’re going to have to pass it on." but did not realize the scope of it.

I took it as “this is what would have to happen for the least of us to die”. So yes, optimistic. I also think their projected coastlines are optimistic. I don’t remember seeing so much of the US labeled uninhabitable in other discussions.
I don’t think the Central Park 5 were exonerated 35 years ago. I’m glad they have been exonerated now, and certainly they shouldn’t have been convicted then - but there was nothing racist in Trump’s ad calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty. Many people believe in it (full disclosure- I’m not one of them), and at least of those I know none of them believe in it for racist reasons.
When I was in Scotland two years this was a breath of fresh air and “freedom”. In the US there are lots of areas where it’s really hard to hike because people close off their land completely. Or they mark the land as private and now you have to worry about getting shot or somethings.
But AMD is again the innovator, just like with amd64, real dual-core, on-die memory controllers, hypertransport-style bus, on-die pcie controller, on-die gpu and so on.
Counter-opinion: over-complication is very much en vogue! Our academia, media, business, etc. are awash with post-structuralist influenced thinking that seeks to deliberately undermine previously accepted pillars on which our culture was founded, e.g. men and women are defined by biology, strength is preferable to weakness, etc. Sometimes debating shades of grey serves no purpose other than to undermine progress.
Yea, well that’s absolutely a fact I feel acutely whenever I have to cross the darned thing for work!
I wonder how much money it would cost to figure out whether you are allowed to build such a construction in Germany at all.
I think "some" is very few (if any at all) in my experience. If you are generally looking for knowledge or not sure, you preface with "I may be wrong", "I am not an expert" or other such phrases, but most often people state wrong information as facts with no caveats. It's probably some combination of over confidence and ignorance.

Perhaps the main focus is making it extremely difficult to access the radioactive material. So, no locks or anything that easy, you weld the thing shut. Makes it harder to decommission, but also makes it harder to steal.

It depends how heavily it was disturbed. They describe it as like talcum powder. If it's that fine, tiny particles could disperse in the air invisibly.
> Compiled by Ms. Lu and several other researchers at the Allen Institute, the study is in line with similar research published by academics in Australia and Canada. While gender parity is relatively near in many of the life sciences, these studies showed, it remains at least a century away in physics and mathematics.

If 40 years of privilege and majority status hasn't closed the gap -- from 1978 to present, when women earned the majority of degrees and received the overwhelming majority of sex-based funding -- then perhaps biology simply doesn't align with their world view, and no amount of (non-horrific) social engineering will change that.

Institutional sexism (or racism) isn't the solution to our problems, and it's obnoxious that the NYT frequently advocates for more of it.

I’ve not been diagnosed with ASD, but I did have to take parts of the Wechsler a few years ago. My results were lopsided, as this paper describes. My doctor was surprised at how fast I completed the block design and matrix reasoning parts. He said he had never seen them completed so quickly. Yet, my verbal scores were relatively low. I did similarly on the SATs - I perfected the math section but did horribly on the verbal parts.

I have challenges processing words. I strain to use them. It feels like I’m translating from one language to another over a couple layers. Then again, I didn't begin speaking until I was 3. So, maybe I missed some developmental stages.

But, I often wonder if I have ASD. Reading this paper reminded me of it. Is there any benefit in getting a diagnosis?
