> After all the reasons you give for treading carefully against China all apply to the US and the west just as much.

That's not true. The US is susceptible to humiliation and reputation erosion when it comes to human rights. China, largely, is not. The Muslim prisoners - Abu Ghraib - being tortured wearing black bags, the infamous photos that were leaked (and sparked large protests across the Middle East), was an embarrassing scandal for years in the US and globally. It rather painfully tarnished the US when it comes to having authority to speak on human rights. And that's just one of several prominent examples from the past 20 years.

Obama promised to close Guantanamo specifically because of that type of reputation damage. Guantanamo is an issue about 1,000 times smaller in terms of impact, than what's going on in Xinjiang and yet it was a huge human rights scandal for the US that persists in tarnish to this day. It's routinely mentioned even now and the US gets lambasted for it. These things are a big credibility destroyer for a liberal democracy.

Go watch footage, or read polling/surveys, of what Western Europeans said and thought about the US from ~1948 to ~1991. Then compare it to today. That's the reputation hit the US has taken, the moral ground it has ceded. It has a tangible negative impact on the ability of the US to operate as a superpower, when your allies question your moral standing.

The US went to war, in Europe's backyard, to stop a genocide of Muslims with the Kosovo War. The positive reputation gain that you acquire from doing something like that, is largely wiped out when you do something like torture Muslims in those infamous photos at Abu Ghraib.

China does not operate on any reputation basis when it comes to human rights. They do not depend on US-style allies, of which they have almost none. They almost entirely disregard such reputation concerns. Quite the opposite, they defend their authoritarian approach with direct threats to anyone that opposes how their government does things.
That's not statistical fraud.

It can be important to ethically stop a trial based on the information available, even if the information available later turns out to be incorrect.
Versace, Coach and Givenchy: The Gravity of the China T-Shirt Controversy
I know this doesn't speak to your comment, and is also a bit of a rant, but I would clarify that "tabs" in this respect are not like "tabs" in your browser, where you can have multiple "things" open at the same time. As soon as you leave the teams tab, that application/file is closed.

So if you have an excel file open in teams (which can take up at least 10 seconds - which does speak to your comment!), and want to go back to a channel or chat, you're actually closing that file.

Granted you can open the Excel file not in teams, but this is just an example of how being locked in one window where the tabs aren't your open items, but rather possibly open items, is counter-productive.

That brings me to something else that I find strange, that with every new piece of Windows software over the last 10 years, it seems like Microsoft forgot that it's called "Windows" for a reason. The big deal about Windows was having multiple WINDOWS. And every time you take that away, you stray further from productivity. Don't even get me started on multi-monitor support over the years! /rant

Thanks for your input! Yes must think about it too.
Are you a data scientist?
To add to this, when too much energy is fed into the grid, the net frequency increases slightly. Thus, the control variable is net frequency. There is lots of research on this problem.

When the net frequency increases so does the rotating speed of all turbines. The inertia of those turbines is one way how excess energy is buffered.
Then who does have responsibility? Surely you're not suggesting that all is forgiven and forgotten once the perpetrators are dead?

I'm suggesting that, figuratively, if you actually knew that you lived by a volcano, the emotional shock caused by its eruption could be tempered by some foresight.

The Opium Trade and Wars were evil and at a massive scale, I just don't see how that can be spun any other way. How was this ever going to turn out any differently? Like I said the only reason we're so outraged is because we obliterated every other nation to the point that they'll never be able to rise up.
Well I mean comparing US to individual European countries usually ignores the fact that most of the countries quoted have homogenous population with numbers closer to large US cities like New York than the entire US. If you compare US to EU you see that EU is less rosy with it's own underdeveloped regions that and the difference between richest and poorest country in EU is probably worse than the difference between states in US, relocating between states in US is simpler, etc. etc. Also decision making at EU level Europe is waay harder than the US. So instead of talking US in aggregate why not do those changes state level where it makes sense - just like they are done in the Europe.

Not at all. I am reticent to tell others what they should do within their own borders. Treaties regarding external interactions are important.

It is not posturing to prefer that I not have to personally vet the provenance of everything I buy in the grocery store. We know what happens when there is insufficient regulation of food. You get melamine in infant formula because it boosted somebody's profit margin.

ClickHouse is happy to use multiple cores if the query is heavy enough. We have tested it on AMD EPYC 7351 more than a year ago and get promising results. (I have not saved them but I'll try to reproduce and post them here.)

Another case of scalability: we have also tested ClickHouse on an Aarch64 server (Cavium ThunderX2) with 224 logical cores and despite the fact that each core is 3..7 times slower than Intel E5-2650 and the code is not optimized as much as for x86_64, it was on-par in throughput of heavy queries.

There are also tests of ClickHouse on Power9 if you mind...
It is up to the reader to form an opinion given the evidence presented to them. The media should try to present both sides as neutrally as possible. If Beijing's side has been watered down so much as to be comically neutral, the reader should be able to pick up on this and understand the lack of positive traits attributable to Beijing's position.

The recent inversion of the norm of the neutrality of the media is bad. You talk as if it is good. Look at an AP or Reuters report directly from their website if you want to read the news with minimal spin. They keep to the facts, and they don't pitch each story as part of a grand moral battle. Any moral stance the media takes should be seen as a demerit, even if it is one you agree with. The exception being the editorials, or their equivalent.

EDIT: I feel like I've done a disservice to my position. I need to mention that neutrality in media is connoted with sticking to the facts. If you want to do a good job as a reporter, fill your articles with accurate, unembellished facts. Make the dang article 90%+ factual information without hystrionics or fluff. I've seen plenty of yellow journalism lately, but the accusation that excessive neutrality is just fluff is silly when you look at this article or at the corpus of NYTimes's articles.
The point I outlined in my post is one that I have seen people who are not vocal advocates of GMO utter. It's a perfectly regular piece of reasoning and not "irrational subtext". I'd go so far as to say the irrational subtext here might be the fact that it is seen as some sort of personal failing to question something which would be very convenient if it was entirely safe (and was known to be safe).

Just because it is convenient and it works well in the areas that we can measure well does not mean it is actually safe or that we should embrace it uncritically.

Are we really at the point where we are angry that companies buy insurance to protect themselves from things going wrong? Maybe we should just bankrupt every company that has a data breach or other mishap. Bring it up with your employer, see what they think.

Not everything can be measured by GDP though. For instance, HK can become a buffer point or backup plan should the trade war further escalates.

Not to mention that many CCP members have a lot of investment in Hong Kong, a collapse of the HK economy, should the PLA be deployed, would be quite problematic.

But I generally agree with your observations.

How to export 3D models from FreeCAD to WebGL
I find SCMP about equivalent to the NYT in the US. Not without its issues, but does quality reporting. When I need to follow the action live in HK to figure out what is happening (where protests are, what is happening in those protests, etc.), I find them to be reliable, fast, and accurate.

I'm not denying that they have a pretty pro-establishment point of view when it comes to their editorial. I'm not convinced that China has a major influence over their reporting, however.

Anyways, others recommend the Hong Kong Free Press as an alternative. Or you could also follow along on Twitter or join the private groups.

You've touched on the core problem of everything Earhart-related that TIGHAR does. (And most of what they do is Earhart-related, and most all modern Earhart-related news originates with TIGHAR). They start with the premise that "Earhart and Noonan crashed at the edge of Nikumaroro" and then check every single piece of evidence they find to see if maybe it might support that assertion. This is a completely backwards way to do such an investigation.

This strikes to the heart of what my comment mentioned though: the vast majority of people don't care, Western consumer people especially. Not supporting it, simply saying it.

Make them care and things might change, truly. Don't bother with CEO's or governments, we all know who they serve.
Maybe yes, but Xi is not Kim, at least not yet.
This is slightly better in some places. I can, for instance, issue a Faster Payment to another UK bank account. This takes seconds. It's fast enough for payment transactions. And intermediates like GoCardless make this easier and for very small sums (£2 fixed, no upper limit).

I completely agree though. If your bank's aren't going to guarantee anything tighter than a 3 day turnaround, they're useless here.

Oh, not at all, I want the compiler to do the CPS transform for me (same as for yield/await) and then hand me the incoming continuation as a first class lexically scoped parameter.

For example: convert an internal iterator to an external one (in pseudo C++, yes, yes, I know):

// This is a bog standard template function. Cont can be anything
// here as long as it is callable. It literally does the same thing
// as for_each
template<class Cont, class Iter>
Cont inside_out(Iter begin, Iter end, Cont yield){
// as long as yield lifetime is confined to the scope of
// inside_out; when Cont
// ends up being some compiler internal (possibly unique) magic
// type it should be possible to CPS convert both inside_out and
// for_each. Both rust and C++ monomorphize templates anyway so
// instantiating dedicated CPS variant is not a problem.
std::for_each(begin, end, [&](auto&& x) { yield(x); });

// for various reasons we need to return the continuation here. A
// proper language would tail call to it.
return yield;
}

...
// this is basically call/cc. It uses magic to get the current
// continuation, then invokes its first argument with it and the
// remaining arguments. The current function need to be
// Note: template functions are not first class in
// C++, but we take some liberty here.
auto cont = continuationify(inside_out, my_vec.begin(), y_vec.end());

while(not cont.done())
std::cout << cont();

if inside_out was not templated, but instead Cont was type erased (a trait object in rust parlance), then continuatinify would need to allocate a dedicated stack and fall back to good old userspace context switching (the compiler is welcome to pierce through the type erasure layer and optimize anyway, but it would not be a guaranteed optimization).

Rust is close enough to C++ that it would work in the same way. I've been planning to write a paper for the C++ committee to add fire to the current coroutine controversy and proposing something like the above (which would unify stackless and stackful coroutines).

When you consider that governments spend trillions of dollars a year subsidizing fossil fuels (this is not an exaggeration), maybe that’s why it hasn’t been taken up despite it being cheaper? And because like any new technologies there are additional factors, such as fear of different and new, and entrenched interests pushing against the new efforts.

What ICF did was play off the weapons and the energy people. When one side raised questions about the validity of the justification for ICF from their side's point of view, the ICF people could just point to the other side.

I think in the end the real justification was maintaining a cadre of physicists who were familiar and experienced with the physics of materials at H-bomb like conditions, in case new generations of bombs needed to be designed, and also to help validate improved computer codes for simulating those conditions without actual bomb tests.
I can't map your analogy to this case at all, it just ends up as total nonsense.

Android seems to be the federal government, so Boeing is Google, and bidding for a defense contract is bidding for search engine provider placement. But the flow of the money is the wrong way around (the government is the entity paying, while Android is the entity receiving payments). And the other mismatch is that the search engine auction has four slots each of exactly the same value, while contracts for military airplanes seem to be single-sourced. If Boeing wins the JSF bid with the X-32, there won't be a F-35 contract for Lockheed.

What you're proposing is that not one, not two, not three, but four other companies figure out a way of monetizing search more effectively than Google. (Judging from iOS, the count is at 0 right now). If that happens, there's no point in worrying about Google having a dominant position anyway, since their core business must be totally screwed.

(Would you be happy with an auction where Google needs to put in a synthetic bid based on the actual observed value of a mobile search user?).

My points about about native Americans and Australians could be construed as Whataboutism. But the Opium Wars aren't fodder in an equivalency argument, they are literally the very reason that HK even exists.

Again, I must repeat, I do not at all condone China's lack of respect for human rights. All I am saying is that people need to know the actual context of the situation. If HK had come into being due to centuries of mutual, conflict-free trade, then I think this would be different situation. The fact is though that HK is the legacy of a sustained, coordinated, state-level, brutal and greedy campaign to extract as much money as possible from the Chinese.
