The rate of urbanization in 2002 is 39.09%, note this includes small towns which are much poorer than cities, that means the majority of the population was still very poor and the trend to work in coastal factories barely began, so could you really see average people's daily dishes as a guest?

I'm not saying it's rare to eat pork, what I’m saying is eating pork almost everyday like it's a super normal thing, not just every now and then or even ocassionally. I don't doubt there were many people who can afford to tho it's 1.4 billion afterall.

In my mid-sized town eating pork was a treat back then, especially when there were guests or holidays, definitely not everyday, it was soy products, fish (near a big reservoir) and eggs, people's wages were 50 to 100 dollars, farmers were even poorer coz it was all susbsistence farming.

Do the math, pork was fluctuating around 1 dollar per 500g back then.

Yunnan is mountainous so it probably doesn't even qualify as susbsistence farming, but it's warm and has fruit industry and tourism now, you can still find extreme poverty in Guizhou's mountains which is right above Yunnan.

Leiyang is not a town in the American sense, it was a county now a city. Village → town → county → city → capital → province.
I have a feeling that's more to do with some people's reluctance to admit they were wrong about their initial conclusion, and so they cherry pick the facts to support their initial conclusion.

Possibly they would have drawn a different conclusion if given all the facts to being with. It's hard for many to admit they were wrong.

Writing plays is the counter-example that comes to mind first. Say "Beaumont" to an English major and he will respond "Fletcher", whether or not he has read their plays. Shakespeare collaborated on at least one play. (Two Noble Kinsmen?)

The Goncourt brothers wrote novels together until the one's decline and death--the linked piece mentions duos as more common.

Looking back over this I'm actually not sure we're talking about the same film. I like SFX a lot. It's a traditional black and white film (in terms of development chemistry, there's no mention of C-41 chemistry on the technical sheet). Did you mean XP2?

Anyway, here's my take on "black and white" C-41 films: I just don't see the point. Traditional black and white film is a beautiful thing. From an aesthetic and technical standpoint it's far and away better than C-41. The only advantage C-41 has is the ability to drop it off at a corner lab, and those are becoming more rare by the day. I'd much rather just shoot a high quality true color negative film and convert it. I don't do that very often but I'd be kind of surprised if you couldn't get a better looking image from converting, say, Portra, than shooting a "black and white" color negative film. Every time I've tried films like XP2 an whatever the Kodak equivalent was, the results have been resoundingly underwhelming.

I have an 8 or so year old APS-C and I honestly prefer my (new) phone’s pictures most of the time. It is just so much better at calculating exposure. With my camera I feel like I am constantly battling with blown out highlights and usually end up underexposing every picture and hoping I can fix exposure later. The dynamic range of a picture by default from my phone is just so much better. Of course when you zoom in or view on a large monitor the phone is going to lose out in other ways. I am sure newer cameras are better in this regard but it still goes to show how much phones have improved. Or maybe I just don’t know how to use my camera...
I think you're overestimating how much people think critically about the news or discussions online. A couple upvoted comments here and there, paid for by a massive corporation, can absolutely influence opinion.

I'll try. Price discovery means finding out the value of a stock by people bidding to sell and buy it. Historically, beating the stock market is hard to do, so one strategy is to just go along for the ride, buy a little of everything. This is what ETFs do. You're not bidding your guess of the value a company should have, you are just saying "hey, I'll pay what that other guy is willing to pay". Now, thats not a problem necessarily, but if the majority of people are not placing their own bids, and everyone is just saying I'll take what the market rate is, then the price of a stock isn't really tied to anything. This is the world we are in today. ETFs have become so massive, some of them are starting to be the majority shareholder of the companies in their portfolio. Now let's say our dear leader really tanks the economy and everyone rushes to sell their ETFs. The companies most effected by whatever policy fuckup are not the only ones that go down, the whole market will go down. Scary stuff.

I think the contrast is between active and passive funds.

If your money is in an active fund, there's a manager exerting his intelligence in trying to make good choices with your money. This effort is beneficial, as it helps the market find the right prices for assets.

A passive fund adds money into the system, but it doesn't add any intelligence - it relies on the intelligence of the current market participants.

As more and more money switches from active to passive, we have more and more money relying on less and less intelligence. This means that the market is becoming less and less efficient, and prices are deviating more and more from where they should be.

Passive investors are essentially leeching returns off the work of the active investors.

This article suggests that the effect will be ultimately catastrophic, where I suspect that it'll just result in money slowly swinging back the other way as active funds take advantage of the situation to start to make more money than before. That's pretty much what the article says he's doing.
Certainly not; see for instance asm.js. Arbitrary C++ (or any other LLVM language) can be translated into JS this way.

You advertise on a website for widget fans. That's how it successfully worked for a long time.

The whole targeted advertising is to allow adtech companies to identify users of the "widget fans" site, and then advertise to the same people, but on another, cheaper site.
As listed elsewhere in the thread[0], this isn't something Google is trying to keep under wraps or even trying to obfuscate, so "uncovers" makes it seem like the Brave developer found their secret scheme to undermine GDPR. In reality, the program has been active for a long time (previously called Doubleclick Ad Exchange) and the article is only a call to attention for how this system works, while helpfully recommending the Brave browser.

How are precise reading logs of websites that help people learn about and treat mental health conditions not "mental-health information"?

"Subject A traveled from a house (maybe not his house, you see, it's de-identified!) went to the library, selected a book on depression and another on cognitive behavorial therapy, read two chapters in the book on depression, made notes about 4 chapters from the CBT book, went back and re-read one chapter from the first book. Subject took quiz from first book which indicated a severity of 22 on the PHQ-9 depression score (it's not PHI because maybe he made up all the answers!) Subject appeared to move slowly with a sad affect through the library and while reading. Subject appeared to be interested in the 2nd chapter of the first book. Subject's other interests include 2000s romantic comedies and RPG video games. Subject's income is approximately 60k/yr and lives in a household with size 1."
UBI is especially a terrible idea if you don't want people like Gates and Torvalds and Stallman to emerge naturally from an environment that enabled and fostered their genius every step of the way.

According to Gallup[1], the vast majority of millennials expressed the desire to get married, so the propaganda/trope reasoning seems poorly supported to me.

>Children born out of wedlock and/or raised by single parents

This statement is a bit old-fashioned I think? Most of my friends with children/long-term relationships never married because where I come from there is no benefit to do so, a legal status is offered in kind (de facto partnership). Marriage has become something quaint and mostly considered a waste of money when house prices etc are demanding down-payments instead. I see none of my friend's kids suffering because there is no marriage certificate in the house. This may vary by country, I'm sure.

Why is it unfounded? Am I just supposed to take that on faith? The author probably should've written more than 2 sentences after this statement before moving onto his next assertion.
Indeed I have the exact same experiences with a Kenmore washer from 2005, including the exact same cheap plastic replacement part, along with a few other cheap switches breaking more than once.

I'm not convinced things are that different. Hell, you can buy Samsung mainboard or powerboard components on Ebay for $300 and $70 respectively and bring a broken TV back to life with nothing more than undoing a few plugs and sockets and maybe some soldering skills if a capacitor has popped.

Is this really different from not being able to replace or repair the electron gun in the picture tube of a 1950s TV?

Ergh, the lead picture in the article is terrible and paints him in a significantly negative light. I'm not a huge fan of WeWork's business model especially with the tax law exploitation in the UK but I find it quite irresponsible for newspapers to cherry pick such terrible photos - just like - don't have an extreme face closeup, get a picture of him standing on a stage[1] and don't pick one that makes me wary this article is 100% slant... Because the We trademark was terrible and I really want to read an informative piece on it, but suddenly I have zero trust in this article.

Children's television didn't include a nearly endless flood of horrifying and sometimes trauma-inducing autogenerated content that (illegally) leverages pop culture and otherwise kid-friendly characters, all just to push as many ads as possible into kids' faces.

There's always been problematic or otherwise weird children's content, and content that was mostly just an ad (80s cartoons were bad about that), but some of the stuff you can find on YouTube is in a whole new class of questionable. At least some of those 80s toy commercial cartoons were still entertaining in some way.

> Fifty years ago, what is a tech company was an easy question to answer: IBM was the tech company, and everybody else was IBM’s customers. That may be a slight exaggeration, but not by much: IBM built the hardware (at that time the System/360), wrote the software, including the operating system and applications, and provided services, including training, ongoing maintenance, and custom line-of-business software.

Fifty years ago, IBM was the computer company. There were other tech companies: Xerox, Tektronix, Texas Instruments, and Western Electric to name a few. Today "tech" largely means computing, especially applied to marketing and advertising automation, but back then it meant something quite different to be working "in technology".
