> Human rights violation by china are well documented.

That may have been the case. But we are talking about human rights violations by the Hong Kong government here, and I don't think you have a case here.

> The triad attacks are definitely real

We can certainly demand an independent investigation into this once the violence and destruction stops.

> Westerners consider what you call "violence and destruction" to be a fair price to pay to have rights guaranteed.

I believe the bill was quickly suspended after initial peaceful protests. There's no reason to believe the bill wouldn't be withdrawn if peaceful protests persisted. That's why I believe the violence has been unnecessary and may have even been harmful to the cause.

FWIW, I oppose the bill and support the peaceful protests against the bill.

Have you tried that on yourself? Maybe you'll have more empathy for the policy if you had. It looks deceptively benign but is in fact incredibly aggressive.

> Can you abuse Backblaze on Windows or Macintosh?

Backblaze lives on the "averages", and so far the averages for Windows and Macintosh have worked out for us. We don't have any deep pockets (no VC funding) so we have to stay profitable or die. If you are curious what the distribution of customer sizes is, here is a histogram (you will need to zoom in, then use the scrollbar): https://i.imgur.com/iVEuwUT.jpg

Backblaze does not allow running the "Personal Backup Client" on Windows "Server" OS flavors to help the averages. Macintosh are really super successful in the laptop category, but very very few people or businesses run them as servers so again, the averages work out for us (so far).

However, in all of our market research, the Linux users averages would quickly drive us out of business. By definition, Linux is pretty much dedicated to almost exclusively servers, and exclusively dedicated to SUPER technical people who understand exactly how much data they have. We built "Backblaze B2" expressly for these technical customers running Linux. If you know how much data you have, and you have less than average, you will literally save money with Backblaze B2.
If you supply an invalid comparison function to your sort function, which would you prefer to happen - that it crash, or that it give you unsorted output? (If you actually wanted sorted output, you should have provided a valid comparison function.)
I’m surprised Oracle sells their version of Linux when they could simply sell Solaris which is supposed to be “light years better” according to the couple Solaris sysadmins I know.

They should just take it one small step further and blame it on the data itself. “We discovered that telephone numbers had synced up with advertising profiles. Twitter regrets that the data correlated in this manner.”
I have two objections to this.

First, I disagree that only high-value targets are at risk. I think, in general, targets are at risk for SIM-jacking. You can be a target because you're Jack Dorsey, but you can also be a target because you suddenly get swept up in a Twitter controversy, or because you run a corporate social media account, or because an ex-partner decides they want revenge over something.

A lot of our security protects against untargeted attacks because they're more common, but targeted attacks can't be completely ignored.

The second problem I have is that high-value targets use Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon, and they should be able to use these sites without worrying that their accounts are by-default insecure. We're not talking about a local library account, these are the biggest tech companies in the world. The president of the United States uses Twitter.

I think that taking a strong stance on security is important in that scenario.

I'm assuming (hoping) that Trump's account is secured with a phone-number that isn't public and that can't be SIM-swapped. But who knows, Dorsey's wasn't.
It might work as punishment for some wealthy people, but won't bring enough extra income to significantly expand government spending.
Aha! Thank you. That solves a mystery for me. Skimming it a few minutes ago, I thought it claimed to be stable, and I couldn't figure out why it didn't come to mind when I thought about merge sort.

If it's not stable, then what's the point? It's not a merge sort variant by the most important measure, IMO, and as I said, I was only considering merge sort variants.

Even with all of the additional logic people have created to avoid worst case performance, quicksort is simpler than this algorithm by a huge margin.

> They have nothing to lose but incremental profits and in the long run China will lose.

I don’t understand this. They could lost all their market in China which is not a small number and in return, long-term financially, nothing. It is not like Chinese people can’t live without it. There are more than enough entertainments for Chinese people to enjoy.
I won't pretend you have the same interests as me but one of the reasons I personally look(ed) forward to Catalina was the ability to essentially "run iOS apps" (recompiled for macOS).

I can't wait to get rid of some of my Electron apps in favor of proper native ones. That feature alone would be worth the upgrade in my opinion.

But that's not to say I agree with how they've implemented the permissions dialogs. As a developer who had to deal with them I found several glaring bugs in Mojave, not to mention a sub-par UX. I'm sad if they haven't improved on that.
I think that's a false equivalence, China has no power telling you what to do and you know it. And any customer would have the power to not buy your product and its their right.
It would help significantly by reducing congestion because people can go directly to their destination instead of going into and out of parking lots, which tend to be clustered and add significant traffic to the city.

On top of that people won't need to start and end at the same time with self driving cars, as you have the ability to sleep/read/do work during the commute.

Show HN: I co-wrote a book on training Deep Learning models in Go
A friend and I wrote a book on how to build and train Deep Learning models in Go. We wanted it to be a useful reference for deep learning basics for Go programmers.

Deep Learning is slowly seeping into everything we use every day and we thought it would be great if more people could do it in Go.

The book is available here and on Amazon as well.

I think there’s a good chance that these are being done by people because cattle mutilations are such a long running famous mystery.

That is, I think the likeliest explanation is that people are doing this for no other purpose than for it to be noticed and wondered at.

Human motivations are weird and irrational and there is plenty of evidence that some people will go to great lengths to make themselves feel entertained, smart, superior. There’s a long tradition of bored people doing weird things just to wind everyone up from behind the scenes.

There is nothing physically unexplainable here. The scene could be created by a couple of people with a sharp knife and some experience with butchering animals.

China pop is 1.417 bil, Russia's population is 144 million.

GDP/person: China $8,609, Russia $11,805. It's complicated to compare these two countries. China has a much larger economy so they have a bigger pool of money to spend, but then they have less per person. But both countries have huge poor groups.
Oh my gosh, wow, what a strange coincidence! I totally did not notice that I was replying to the same person who wrote that post. Small world :)

And yeah, I wasn't necessarily reading too much into the comparison since of course there are so many different factors that can tilt the numbers different ways, but I found it very thought-provoking regardless. Great point about e-bikes too.
The use of carb and glutamine restriction (see the work of Dr Thomas Seyfried) to boost the effectiveness of cancer treatments was modeled after fasting-mimicking diets. Essentially, Seyfried's work is basically that diet, but in a pill.

Actual long term fasting (ie, 3-5 day hardcore mode shit) allows the body to maximize autophagy to kill off damaged cells. The western diet of 3 square meals a day and keeping insulin levels alarmingly high (which both frequent and carb-laden diets promote) stops autophagy (for safety reasons; you don't want to accidentally attack cells doing their tasks to absorb and utilize nutrients).

So yeah, given what is known about cancer today, I personally eat keto omad (one meal a day intermittent fasting) within a 4 hour window every day, and periodically fast on top of that.
Meditation/mindfulness is another example.

Thanks for the explanation, interesting.
I do feel there is something very substantial regarding the various human metabolic states as they relate to these seemingly "everywhere" diseases that have no definitive causes.

Ketogenesis is arguably the most ideal state for our bodies to operate in, but it is also arguably the hardest one to maintain in our society. It is difficult for most to consistently ignore that big-ass box of krispy kreme donuts your asshole coworker brings in every day. Just one of those per day is probably enough to keep you stuck in glycogenesis for the rest of the morning and into part of the afternoon.

If you look at the push of HFCS and other crappy food options with incidence rates of cancer over the last 3 decades, I am pretty sure you will see some correlation there. Obviously, it is hard to draw a causal link between these, but at a certain point I am going to give up on the academic explanation in favor of a series of practical observations and whatever inferences I can draw from those. I am also acutely aware of the influence of profit seeking in the medical & academic communities. When I see a study come out that says something along the lines of "sugar isn't actually that bad for you" I immediately think big sugar or corn financed this research piece for their own benefit.

I have personally fasted for stretches as long as 5 days, been on one-meal-a-day, and have been on ketogenic diets for months at a time. I have also been a complete waste of a human, eating and binging on all manner of sugary, carb-loaded foods and other unspeakable horrors. I can tell you that 100% of the time, I felt better in the ketogenic state. Sure, you can argue for that very brief feel-good you get from slamming that donut, or the mental fortitude required to force yourself into keto. But, at the end of the day, once you are keto it's easy. It's just the transition phase that sucks. As with most things.

The problem with all these dark modes is that I end up with 50 shades of grey and things are harder to distinguish because there's no consistency on where to apply the various shades.

Maybe they need to stop shipping a dozen different $100 models with wildly different specifications and come up with a common platform to reduce support costs, like most other industries.

Support costs increase as fragmentation does, it things sold at a reasonable price and without dozens of variations it would be more feasible to maintain longer supported life cycles - but these companies have no incentive to think beyond the next quarter’s earnings call.
In Denmark, due to the GDPR, almost non of the digital letters we receive from the government can be sent by email (since they would contain personally identifiable information such as Social Security Numbers), so instead we just get a notification by email that tells us to log into a special 'secure' hosted mailbox. Except it's not hosted by the government, but some company that won a contract to build and host this - but now it's going to be built and hosted by another company that won the latest contract. This all seems kinda crazy to me, the public paying private companies to build and run one proprietary solution after the other. Does anyone know if there is some modern protocol/system that provides an alternative to email, and guarantees end-to-end encryption and other privacy-improvements?

Especially in the absence of a universally available, universally usable alternative. The user experience of TOTP authenticator apps, paper recovery codes, and (so far) U2F tokens just isn't there yet, and the negative impact to individuals from being inadvetantly locked out by the loss of their second factor is massive.

SMS for recovery is deeply flawed, but it's 1) better than nothing and 2) better than any current alternative for the vast majority of people.
Basketball is popular in China. The NBA is the premier league. It doesn't need China. If you want to see the best or play with the best, it will be the NBA. If the CCP (China Communist Party) wants to spoil the entertainment of the citizenry, that's their problem. The NBA can go right back into China whenever the winds change.

On the other hand, if the NBA doesn't stand up to China, a large part of their core audience will find something else to do.

I want to point it out it is not only Chinese government, but also Chinese people, the people were enjoying the NBA, are abandoning it. This actually hurts the feeling of the fans.

You're talking about being strictly global utilitarian in all actions which is completely unworkable when it endangers the actor. Of course, they aren't as hard on China because of money.

I've been on Keto for almost two years and recently had someone adamantly scold me about how bad it is for my brain. My n=1 suggests otherwise. Things like focus and mood are all significantly better than they were before. Physical and mental stamina have both increased. I went from an "Obese" body fat percentage to "Athletic" in six months.

But still, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and sincerely asked him, and ask others here, "Please provide me with studies that show that it's 'horrible for the brain'." I don't mean that to be snarky. I've looked and haven't been able to find the studies. Maybe I've been looking in the wrong places and I would love to read the studies* that show how bad it is.

Towards the end of the conversation with this guy I found it amusing that he stopped chiding me long enough to ask, "So... wait, what is Keto?"

We are down to anecdotal evidences here. So as another anecdote, a guy I know went on a carb-free diet and developed diabetes as a result. His body lost the ability to process sugar.
Bottom line, most people needs a balanced diet - including carbs that are one of the pillars of nutrition. A given individual's body may be able to compensate for the imbalance on its own, but let's not generalize that to the entire population.
