Shouldn't we be banning slasher flicks then?

When I was watching A Nightmare on Elm Street as a kid, I never once thought "I wish I could murder people in their dreams with a glove full of knives."

Study after study refutes your unsubstantiated claim, so the burden of proof is on you here.
The reality is, obviously, that they do not want to arrest Western visitors. In fact they want Western visitors to get the best opinion of the country possible and go home telling every one how great China is.

I fully agree: China is not a democratic country, and there is no independent judiciary, and crossing the wrong people while there is a bad idea (is there a country where it's a good idea, though?)

But let's not claim that it is dangerous to visit or even to move to for work. It is very safe.
96% of UK premises could have "Superfast", not just "Internet" but "Superfast" broadband, which is defined as 30Mbps to the door. But you're correct that a very large fraction of the population don't choose to buy this either because they can't afford it or they don't want it.

There is a Universal Service Obligation, just like in the days of voice telephony, which says the incumbent (British Telecom in most of the country) is legally obliged to offer anybody who wants it at least a minimum service (10Mbps down 1Mbps up asymmetric, so mediocre DSL basically) for a fee. In unusual cases (imagine you live on an otherwise uninhabited island for some reason or up a mountain) you may need to contribute to capital costs for installation.

About 2% of the country are estimated to /live/ in places that can't get USO obligatory service (without new construction) if they asked. Unsurprisingly people who want fast Internet don't tend to buy properties with problems like that, but in principle if you were stubborn you could buy one and demand they fix it to 10Mbps up 1Mbps down.

So, whatever it is the problem is not Connectivity.

> There’s a difference in quality between these jQuery and NPM (and react component) things.

Yep, you're exactly right, the plugins are from a different era and have less utility today.

That said, jQuery itself still has immense utility. It's expressiveness and simplicity are second to none.

The author points to youmightnotneedjquery.com as an example of why jQuery is superfluous today, but if you look at the examples a bit more closely, you'll notice problems. I spent all of five minutes glancing through the YMNNJ example list and noticed their `replaceWith` doesn't provide the functionality that jQuery offers -- it doesn't take into account event handlers bound to DOM elements. Also, their `extend` does a shallow merge, not a deep merge. Furthermore, the YMNNJ examples are often much more verbose and less expressive than the jQuery examples.

I don't particularly understand the rush to rip jQuery out of everything. It seems like a lot of people are doing it just because it's the trending thing to do. There are some things that jQuery does very well -- even in today's world where modern web dev is dominated by SPA components.

jQuery and SPAs don't have to be mutually exclusive. At my work, we've been building SPAs with jQuery long before Angular, React or Vue even existed. Within the past few years we built our own JavaScript SPA framework whose components can be written with vanilla JS or jQuery. Most of us prefer to use jQuery for our components because the syntax is often more expressive and concise than vanilla JS. We open sourced the framework at https://github.com/elliotnb/nimbly and it's state management utility at https://github.com/elliotnb/observable-slim

Our framework core uses jQuery to update DOM nodes with `replaceWith`, merge deeply nested objects with `extend`, among other things. Aside from the eliminating the extra 69KB footprint from adding jQuery slim min, we don't see any reason to rush to rip jQuery out of the framework core. On the contrary, using jQuery helped us get the framework built faster and helped us keep the code expressive and easy-to-follow.

Long live jQuery :)

Well, that's the thing isn't it? Personally, I think I'd be happy, and probably better off, with an internet that consisted of email, USENET, and Amazon. (maybe eBay, although I could do without it). Unfortunately, the rest of the world and it's needs and addictions tends to drag you along.
This is the kind of pedantry I come to HN for, thanks.
Maybe it depends on the country. I know Canada isn't in Europe, but as an American citizen I have casually wandered onto Canadian military bases before without any hassle. Sometimes they have guards at the gate that ask to see your ID then wish you a good day, but other times there is nobody at the gate and you're free to wander around. Incidentally the Royal Canadian Artillery Museum has a superb collection.

This all contrasts sharply with my experiences visiting American military bases, where the impression of security/paranoia is in my experience quite high, even though I was visiting somebody who lived there and he'd told them to expect me.

Not as long as IBM continues to make mainframes and components, which they do. If you were unable to source replacement hardware to keep it running indefinitely, then yes, but until then it's better to keep paying a couple million a year to keep your business running as-is than to spend hundreds of millions to effectively rebuild the entire infrastructure from the ground up in parallel to the running infrastructure.

Remember that these are large, public businesses. Explaining to shareholders that profits are going to take a noticeable hit for years because of IT investment that isn't strictly necessary is effectively a non-starter.

Choose one:

- Spend $300,000,000 over 10 years moving to a new system, and hope that by the time you've done that it's not obsolete.

- Spend $1,000,000 a year on a system that still works.

You could run the system for 300 years for what it would cost to replace the system.

In spite of the collective wisdom on HN, there aren't a lot of companies in the world with hundreds of millions of dollars sitting around doing nothing. Even ones that work on mainframes.

I grew up on the other side of that coin—a small town without enough resources. It wasn’t the worst of them, but when school boards were amalgamated it sparked internal politics as to where funding was allocated. I was a kid, so I wasn’t directly involved, but looking back on it—it was sad. Rural regions basically battling each other to keep textbooks up to date. And even in that state there were kids winning nation-wide scholarships. The problem was the others who weren’t so gifted had opportunities stripped from them by some man they’d never know. I could go on an anger-filled rant about it but I won’t. (Haha?)

I prefer to say anything I’ve done or accomplished was in spite of that situation (and because of good teachers) rather than because of those stringent circumstances.

But yes, in Ontario the best schools are probably just outside of the big city centres rather than in them. Upper Canada College for one. The world that places like that exist in is so far removed from the Canada I grew up with that I still think I’d have to see it in person to believe it exists. I’m only partly exaggerating.

I hope we can do better than that in the future I’m realizing that we’re all better off if every child has the opportunity to learn and experience from the widest array—rather than limiting those opportunities to children who had the good fortune of good circumstance. It’s not exactly in their control, and it seems like a hell of a good investment to me.

>A lot of people like a carbon tax because it will lower carbon emissions, if you tax productivity it has the same effect.

It's not the same situation, so there's no reason to think it'd have the same effect.

A carbon tax's effect would come from opportunity cost. A company stops a behavior because of a carbon tax when they've found something more profitable. The tax just shifts the line of "more profitable."

But what's somebody going to do if you tax their wealth more? They only "other opportunities" are leaving the country or having more free time. The first is definitely a risk to consider, but the second seems unlikely for the class whose income comes from just investing their wealth. Why not invest, even if the profits are smaller?
Are they becoming more frequent or is the press mentioning them more often? Citations needed.

> Dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country. They are required to obey the laws of both countries, and either country has the right to enforce its laws. It is important to note the problems attendant to dual nationality. Claims of other countries upon U.S. dual-nationals often place them in situations where their obligations to one country are in conflict with the laws of the other. In addition, their dual nationality may hamper efforts of the U.S. Government to provide consular protection to them when they are abroad, especially when they are in the country of their second nationality.

As a Westerner I have a lot of trouble understanding how you can consider what you just wrote as obvious. Could you describe your thinking about this more? I know you said it's obvious but I don't get why.
If you get another offer, bring it to your employer and they don't match it or at the very least come up with a counter you both agree to, then you need to quit and take the other offer. That's the risk of this move. As you say, you will be viewed as a lame duck at the very least and possibly even get fired. Even if your company agrees to match, they may see you that way and have plans for you to leave as soon as you transfer all your knowledge. This is a power play and it can backfire so it's only advisable to do this if you're ready to accept the other offer and move.

But what are these others. The article's examples are: billion+ fraud, espionage, and political corruption by family members. The last one is optically the most senselessly punitive. Clearly political retaliations which I oppose. For financial crimes, in absence of extradition treaties, China's hands are tied, we shouldn't expect them to just allow mass fraud to go unanswered. Punishing billionaires, albeit with bias, is one of the few things China does partially right. Espionage rationalizes itself.

There's shenanigans suggesting the kids were used to launder assets which makes them directly culpable. There's no telling how much of this is actually a family affair. They're not kids. They're adults who have benefited from embezzled money.

>aren't just a neutral exercise.

No they're not, Chinese law was never neutral when it comes to expats, but it's hard to feel sorry when western drug dealers or spies complain losing white privilege. The point is, China-US-Canadian relationships are cooling. If you have GOOD reason to be targeted by China, then don't go there. There are hundreds of thousands of expats in China, when some of them get arrested, the question should really be, why them in particular.
