It’s a fine line between the two, and because of how easily they are confounded the onus is on the speaker to unequivocally avoid whataboutism. Make it very clear how the comparison adds to the discussion of the topic at hand, how it helps move it forward, how the newfound perspective helps other participants come to different conclusions about the original topic and statements.

None of which were achieved here. The criticisms of censorship, mistreatment of minorities, impunity of the CCP and comparisons to WWII through title headers are as valid after this point was raised as before. Therefore, this didn’t put anything in perspective: it was just plain old whataboutism.

Or, to put your argument in perspective: if these points were raised about the NSDAP back in 1930s, would it be equally justified to “put things in perspective” by similarly drawing attention to American misdeeds?

If you can use your argument to justify pretty much anything, it’s not a very strong argument.
Russia is a democracy. The US was a democracy when it genocided the native Americans. askmike is right. Democracy alone won't help Hong Kong. China will not stop. Pacifist Hong Kong will be crushed, regardless the form of government.

The Myth of Peak Performance
Ximilar AI Vision
Yep, I recently moved to windows 10 for my personal machine and as looking for equivalent to macOS features. QuickLook just work, and has even more options than the version from macOS
Hey there, so Ximilar is team of motivated professionals based in Czechia & working remotely. Creating advanced visual search & image recognition services for businesses around the World. Co-founders at Ximilar have had more than a decade of research at Masaryk University and in the US. There are years of real-life applications made by Ximilar. All that while keeping a small focused team of machine learning, computer vision and database experts who roll out their sleeves every day to get the job done.
It is for me. Also, the PDF reader, and the “Add notes” feature that allow you to annotate any web page. The support for the Surface Pen is just excellent in Edge.
The final paragraph from that example is steaming gibberish that nobody could mistake for English:

"Calling has not, and undoubtedly never will be aggravating in the way we encounter mortification but delineate the reprimand that should be inclination. Nonetheless, armed with the knowledge that the analysis augurs stealth with propagandists, almost all of the utterances on my authorization journey. Since sanctions are performed at knowledge, a quantity of vocation can be more gaudily inspected. Knowledge will always be a part of society.Vocation is the most presumptuously perilous assassination of mankind."

Yet the robo-scoring acclaims it as:

* articulates a clear and insightful position on the issue in accordance with the assigned task
* develops the position fully with compelling reasons and/or persuasive examples
* sustains a well-focused, well-organized analysis, connecting ideas logically
* conveys ideas fluently and precisely, using effective vocabulary and sentence variety
* demonstrates superior facility with the conventions of standard written English (i.e., grammar, usage, and mechanics) but may have minor errors

Any teacher faced with the requirement to use such tools would be better placed instructing their class on civil disobedience.
I think the argument is clear. A few people in the West have found ways to abuse the political system in a few marginal ways and get away with it for limited periods until independent journalism, public opinion and the courts stop them.

However they get away with it for a while. Therefore it's ok to have an entire political system in China, constructed entirely out of the abuse or elimination of the rights of it's people, with no way to challenge their leaders or hold them accountable.

I make no claims for the validity of the argument.

I'm not an expert, but after playing with some pre-trained transformers I think they are mostly good at the exact thing they're trained for. eg. GPT-2 is great for text generation, but if you try to use it for say translation, it will tend to add imagined details not in the source text. Similarly, BERT is great at sequence and token-level classification but quite bad at text generation.
The only interesting part seems to be that it resembles bone and "repair" can be called "healing" instead.

That's a poor comparison because Brooklyn actually is a part of New York City, but I agree with your point.

Solution for Entrepreneurs to create car rental sharing platform
It has long been impractical to appear completely anti-development. The Housing Accountability Act of 1982 makes outright refusal against California law. Instead, NIMBYs have adopted the CIA’s tools for sabotage. https://www.cia.gov/news-information/featured-story-archive/...

So, the majority claim to be for development, but they saddle it with conditions and processes to make it expensive and less likely to succeed. They claim that this process makes the final result “better,” but more often than not what we get is not “better” but “nothing.” And nothing is worse than bad, because what we have is a deep shortage.

They’re letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Apologies, I got many replies at the same time (a minute after I posted my initial message). My point was against:

> Also given that China has to actively prevent the Uyghur from leaving, while the West has to prevent immigrants from entering, should tell you who's treated worse.

Which you didn't type but deogeo.

> It is entirely morally consistent to both argue for fair treatment of people in the west, and advocate it for people in China.

Agreed with this and everything else you say. My initial point was shifting the conversation away from "pro democratic or anti democratic" into holding people accounting for human right violations. If a political system makes it hard to hold people accountable than that's what we should talk about.

Which one is worse is a bikeshedding discussion which I didn't intend to start with my initial comment.

Brave is such a clever concept. I'm just mad I didn't think of it. But then again, they've got some heavy technical firepower behind it.

I think they're genuinely doing all the right things:

* Opt-in advertising

* Client-side advertising

* Using a cryptocoin to avoid the microtransaction payment processor problem

They will probably do fine having had a very successful ICO but I can't imagine anyone actually donating meaningful amounts of money to any site. After all, you can just get it for free.
I'm certainly guilty of thinking that. I don't think I've actually been pushing the "rewrite all the things in Go" thing though.

I'm also guilty of thinking language X is the next big thing, and that I should use it for everything. And that's happened more than a few times: Smalltalk, Eiffel, Python, Haskell, Lua, Go.

So having said all that, I really do think that Rust is the next awesome thing. Like the others on the above list, Rust has certainly stretched my brain with new and better programming concepts. And I think it offers some solid benefits that few other programming languages are providing right now. Its also interesting to start to see other languages like Swift incorporate concepts from Rust.

I'd guess this is a product of dwindling state finances and contempt for any form of real education. AI's are orders of magnitude cheaper than real teachers. They also don't form unions and wouldn't voice any opposition against changes in the curiculum.

It’s working poorly.

All the school districts near me have chronic teacher shortages, and there’s tremendous teacher turnover. Occasionally a teacher will go homeless before leaving for a district with lower cost of living.

A prominent neighborhood activist has switched from NIMBY to YIMBY because his wife was recruited on an emergency basis to teach high school English without a teaching certificate, and has been teaching for the past several years.

All the teachers I know of my age are living either with parents or with their parents’ financial assistance.

The one mitigating factor is that young parents are having difficulty affording this region, so schools are starting to close and not need any teachers anymore.

That is not how the law work. The law states that if people at a school is made aware or suspect abuse then they must act on that knowledge. A ML scoring system is obviously unable to be made aware or having suspicions, but the administrators could be help responsible if they happen to see something and chooses to not act.

It would be interesting to know if a child psychiatrist could be held liable if incompetence prevented them from seeing obvious sign of abuse, but I doubt that is covered under the cited law above.

The rest of the storm can still do rain and wind damage but it's nowhere near as bad, so it's easy to fall in to false sense of security. That being said, it's also easy to over-worry.
Slack truly amazes me.

Here is a company that's entire reason for existence is to provide a great chat experience. And yet they can't be bothered to build native apps.

At least a dozen times a day Slack will freeze for at least 15s on my 2018 MacBook Pro. And this is with the current and beta versions. Unacceptable.
I'd say there are customers on both side.. I personally once had my macbook's battery replaced at a 3rd party repair shop while it is under warranty because I needed it immediately. The Apple shop required me to leave the laptop with them for close to a week while I can wait for my battery to be replaced in front of me at the 3rd party shop..

Well pipe(), despite being a great extensibility tool, is not a "flow-reuse" abstraction, as it (mostly) just works as a transformer of (mostly) one observable into another. a reactive flow is a directed graph in general and an inverse-tree in RxJS.

of course you can simply re-use parts of the inverse tree using functions from multiple observables to one, and the main issue for this is basically the inverse-tree model limitation, as can be observed in appearance of convention-breaking and uncomfortable pipes such as partition.
Android devices with comparable performance characteristics and battery life feature larger batteries than comparable iPhones.

Arguably, iPhones are too thin and light and should be thicker and heavier and thus could have bigger batteries. This doesn't help anyone who already has a phone (and iPhones remain supported for up to 5 years after release - that's a long tail)
And then you have companies like Arai that have internal standards that arguably exceed SNELL but score low on SHARP due to differences in design criteria.

Not a Ridgeline owner, but... the reality of pickup ownership in America is that on average they never get used for things that couldn't be done with a wagon or small SUV. Which makes the Ridgeline the best truck out there for most people who buy pickups -- the in-bed storage is super practical, the flat floor provides more usable space in the bed, towing capacity is reasonable for a U-haul / smaller boat / motorcycles.

It would be at the top of my shopping list for when my '05 RAM finally dies but for the bed being too short for most of my motorcycles. I wish 'utes would make a come-back in America and up-size to be more competitive with pickups, a four-door 'ute w/ a 76-inch bed and 1,000lbs of payload would suit me perfectly.

Probably I'll just buy a trailer and put a receiver on my R-350, it can tow plenty and replaced a lot of trips in the RAM.
Maps Reveal the Hidden Structures of ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ Books
I have lived in the U.K. for more than 8 years. I receive spam calls daily from a combination of London and blocked numbers. Everyone I know here also receives them frequently. I’m on the U.K. do not call list. It’s endless PPI, “your recent accident”, and just normal phishing attempts. When I’m in the Middle East it’s endless spam texts. I guess Germany has it figured out but by no means is this an American only problem, or a solved problem in the Western world.

Pretty neat. I love pretty much everything about the public facing site.

Some feedback during my signup:

- nothing happens after I sign up with Google. Have to reload the page.

- the onboarding video is really bad. Please re-record with better acoustics and no offense to Allie, but do a few test takes before recording the production version. It feels way too amateurish as it is.

- why is the intercom chat widget there when I'm signed in? if the point of Consider is to eliminate anxiety during email processing, adding a little icon with yet another red notification is highly counterproductive.

- I like the 'later' button on individual emails.

- the filters are neat but maybe the 'done' category should be a first class citizen.

- search needs more focus. I want to be able to search from the inbox and to use it as more of a filter than a search. Doubt my requirements are unique to me.

Good luck!
Very informative writeup!
I'm curious if there is a way to see which devices have been affected by these exploits.

After reading the disclosure policy, this vulnerability must have been fixed already. I'm guessing this has been fixed in iOS 12.4 or even before?
I'm moving soon and could use the multicurrency support. I'm also graduating college so got to do all of this on my own now, I guess I'm your perfect new customer. Compared to all of the other apps, why would I for example choose you? Do you also have some more information on the credit card linking? Do you support debit cards? This is crucial to be honest. And what about UK bank accounts?

> Apple already has extensive experience in this area with macOS.

macOS runs on platforms with persistent power and/or significantly larger batteries. The power drain caused by persistent connections is negligible given the size of the battery.

> Do they? They could just as easily require that apps outside the App Store provide their own push notification infrastructure.

This was one of two options - allow apps to manage their own push notifications (which requires apps to maintain persistent connections to external servers) or open up the gateways to anyone (which doesn't). I can't think of a third option, but I'm open to suggestions.

> You act like these things are impossible to overcome.

Nothing is impossible to overcome, but most things require trade-offs. In this case, I see the trade off being battery life vs spam (and that's only if you open up the platform, which is the other trade off - open vs closed platforms)

> People keep saying they are a hardware company. Are they really?

If you've paid attention to any apple earnings reports in the last 2 years, they themselves state they're trying to pivot towards services over hardware, specifically because the hardware market is no longer a major growth market.
