China wants us all to not say bad things about China. It doesn't want to stop oppressing the Uighurs. It doesn't want to give any freedom to Hong Kong. It just wants us to shut up about them doing these things.

Forget. That. Noise.
This is true of all countries. Try posting threats about federal employees and you will also get arrested.
I have an interesting take on this, from knowing a bit about Chinese culture (lived there) and for having friends and coworkers who are Chinese.

Culture in China is about unity. If you look at Chinese history, and if you watch Chinese movies, this is a recurrent theme. Unification through blood and war. This is the goal and China will get stronger and more stable over time. At what cost? Tiananmen, xinjiang, hk, the gfw, and so on... people know about it but are willing to ignore them for the greater goal.

Why this shocks us so much, as non-mainlander, is that our Overton window is much further left (the window of what is considered “normal” or “accepted” public discourse). We have lived through slavery, camps, revolutions for human rights. So there’s definitely a human asymmetry here, which makes it harder for any of us to find common ground.

I don’t think there are much solutions here, and I think that in time Chinese people will learn the same lessons we have learned.

I also think most of their distrust in western media is not because they necessarily disagree with it, but because it doesn’t promote their greater goal. And eventhough they know weibo, wechat, et al. Are heavily censored they continue to obtain their news from there, never ending the cycle.
This is exactly my point. You, an American citizen, call it "economic power being concentrated by foreign states". But Chinese citizens call it "ordinary people boycotting offensive speech". It's the NFL kneeling protests and boycotts again, except divided by country rather than by red/blue within the US. It's annoying to have people you don't know come in and tell you your speech is offensive, and if you want that to stop, then you want siloed national internets.

That's not at all what people are asking for here.
There's a difference between "a lot of coverage of X is clickbait" and "any coverage of X is clickbait because X has not happened yet". The former is likely true, the latter is obviously false.

For precision's sake, it should be pointed out that it is explicitly not protected in a lot of cases. This is due to the fact that a lot of people sign papers that they never read when they start at many corporations.

The correct play here, is to get the word out that people need to review every single paper they sign and line out the clauses that allow dismissal for bringing yourself or the company into public disrepute. People have to understand that they shouldn't be just signing away their rights like that.

The ACLU can't protect you if you've signed these kinds of contracts.
This looks nice at a first glance. I have been looking for more dev oriented article lately and this seem like a good start.

"Scissors just are."

I think this is profound. I wrote a few minutes ago that scissors generate passion and tunnel vision, and you've stated that more elegantly.

If you fallen into a scissor, shades of grey don't matter. In particular, the factualness (or not) of the scissor doesn't matter.
And my point was that this has a better chance of success because the cause is more widely understandable and sympathetic than a lawsuit over IP.
"Voluntary" under pressure or fear for safety, repercussions, of course is not voluntary.
I'm always bemused to have to say this, but: nobody likes censorship because they enjoy "falling in line". People everywhere support censorship exactly to the degree that they agree with the censors.

You probably didn't shed a tear when Alex Jones was deplatformed, because he's a scoundrel, and if this really did escalate to a full block of the NBA (which seems unlikely), by that point many Chinese citizens would probably think the same of the NBA.
Not really, it's really different. One shouldn't forget the whole setup of early 20th century. War was a very normal thing, it was after WW I which was really horrible and there wasn't even a UN at the time. National socialism in Germany was about very aggressive expansion combined with very extreme racism, many people were murdered deliberately at all stages of it in an industrialized manner. I would say this remains still very unique.

Both humanity and nation states have made a development since then. Certainly one can draw comparisons but there are worlds in between.

You might want to investigate the meaning and intent then. He was mocking dumb old white dudes. Everybody just saw the slur and lost their mind, totally missing this fact. It’s fine to not think that the joke landed, but it’s silly to be offended by it. And yes, it was literally cancelation.
That a right is "inalienable" is a construction such as any other right or privilege. A social construction enforced by solid institutions. You only have the "right to life" (however inalienable you think it to be) because there is a whole system of laws, courts, government, law enforcement, that grants you that right in practice.

Apple probably should pay. They aren't a hardship case and being so dependent on an authoritarian regime isn't a good look right now [1]. Plus geopoltical risk is a thing and it would be smart for them to mitigate it.

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Hitler_and_socialism

"An entirely Americentric argument, spurred on by certain batty ideologues and infamous websites, claims that Adolf Hitler was not the far-right, anti-communist nationalist that everyone else remembers him to be, but rather an egalitarian socialist.[note 1] Much like the Discovery Institute and their assault on the theory of evolution, this attempts to evoke the association fallacy on anyone who practices left-wing politics and by that standard anyone who slightly leans to the left is an adherent of fascism
...

For this argument to be even close to being solvent ... good chunks of history need to be thrown out the window:

That the 96-member Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) was Hitler's main opposition in the Reichstag and the only political party that attempted to halt the laws that established him as dictator and brought down the Weimar Republic. In fact, all of the ideological predecessors of today's conservative and classically liberal parties voted unanimously for the law, while the SPD voted unanimously against despite the presence of SA guards in the building.[3][4]
That the first political groups targeted during the Nazi ascendancy were pacifists, trade unionists and communists.[5][6]
That Strasserism, the only strand of Nazism that could be referred to as "left-wing" (i.e. pro-working class in nature), were all killed off (with a handful of conservative dissidents) in what we all know as the Night of the Long Knives. About the only true socialists within the Nazi Party include the likes of Gregor and Otto Strasser for example[note 2]"
Happens in European private sector a lot.

HR and internal recruiters are clueless about how software engineering knowledge and experience works and just filter based on keywords. Most have no idea what's the difference between C & C++, Java & JavaScript so you have to tailor your resume for each application to include all the buzzwords they want to hear if you want your resume to reach the technical staff.

An external recruitment company in Germany got me to fill in a spreadsheet rating my knowledge of several technologies including among other things, I quote: "Fox Pro, Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista, MacOS, Adobe Flash, OS/400, MS Office, Lotus Notes, WLAN, Outlook, Backup, Cisco, Alcatel".

I've never facepalmed myself so hard in my entire life.

Now I understand why lots of top companies here employ
external recruitment agencies from the UK. At least there's some tech savvy people among them who can understand what the company needs and what potential the employee has to fit the requested position.

The US needs to get serious here. We are in a battle for the future, make no mistake. We need to back our companies up when they promote our ideals and reprimand them when they bend to the will of enemy actors - CCP in specific.

CCP is an enemy actor and should be treated as such. Their ideals are no more valid than ours. So by default all should be given an equal footing. What happened here is not that.
Apple would still have to find and build a relationship with a new assembly partner, that would cost a lot of money and most likely have some quality missteps along the way as the new partner trains employees and sets up quality control. That would take several months to a year to iron out all the kinks and in the mean time Apple would have very limited stock.
This theory has proved wrong. China has been welcomed into the WTO over the last 20-30 years and it has not reformed. It is now extending it's economic superpower into political and cultural power. It's not about making an enemy, it's about limiting this unwanted influence.
When the government has 100% control of the media that the population consumes, how can the "enemy" ever appear to be anything other than the enemy to the people? Anything the "enemy" does can be spun into an attack/insult/weakness/capitulation.
Tariffs are totally parts of trading, it’s negotiation on a different layer.
Knowing that you're doing something that is not in the interest of Blizzard or China and may bring you trouble is not the same thing as rule-breaking.

For example, I have a first amendment right to stand on the street and cry out "that store over there has awful working conditions," and I'm not breaking any rules, but I'm well aware that the store may well not let me in anymore.
” For most of his life he confined himself to using just two typefaces, Helvetica and Univers, though he perhaps attracted most attention for designing two of his own, Gridnik, in 1974, and New Alphabet, in 1967. Using only straight lines, the latter took grid logic to its extreme and rendered some letters almost unintelligible by eliminating curves altogether, even from the “S” and the “J”.”

Almost unintelligible?

”Peter Saville used the New Alphabet for Joy Division’s album cover in 1988 and for the first time the font became widely available”

If you compare the alphabet (https://www.moma.org/collection/works/139322) with that cover (https://www.flickr.com/photos/designfacts/4412382924), you may notice the cover of the album misspells “substance” as “substamce”.

Agreed. It's important to understand such things - to have compassion. It's why I also try to explain the circumstances in detail - in hopes that it may reduce the indoctrination, help them develop critical thinking further; building secret allies within the tyrant's machine.
There are two separate issues with China banning memes:

1. it's symptomatic of Xi's government being able to do anything it wants to (including killing people to harvest their organs) without any checks and balances

2. it violates our ideal of freedom of speech

One of those is a far more serious problem than the other. A democratic society can fix laws that don't live up to its ideals. A lawless, autocratic society cannot.
> China in its current totalitarian form needs an "Enemy" to survive

Not at all. The whole premise of Chinese policy and the key to the Party's survival is not about fighting enemies. It's simply about developing the country and putting it on an equal footing with the other superpower(s).

Even if you watch or read the heavily controlled Chinese media, it's never about fighting anyone or pointing the finger at anyone. When that happens it usually in response to a perceived attack.

They know they have enough to do without inventing themselves enemies to fight against. Their policy is to avoid clashes as much as possible.

I should also point out that the condition of the Chinese 'populace' has massively improved over the last 40 years and they are actually quite proud of it.
Don't spend too much time trying to decipher people who claim to be "levels ahead of you." If they actually understood the topic, they could easily explain it in a way that a novice can understand.

The Logan Act [1] has been on the books since the 19th century, though it remains Constitutionally controversial.

Broadly speaking, however, there is difference between punishing certain views and expanding public-sphere protections around free speech. The latter is done e.g. with union-promotion laws, which restrict companies' abilities to suppress certain kinds of union-organizing speech. That precedent could certainly be extended to this issue.

For many years, I've felt that model and texture detail in games has been good enough. If games didn't progress much beyond 2010-2011 era graphics, I would be OK with it. The only thing that would blow me away (for a realistic art style) would be better lighting, and ray-tracing seems to be necessary for that. I'm interested in what can be done in a non-realistic style, like Borderlands.
Did anyone else watch the recent South Park episode? I think it illuminates this matter rather nicely.

Well, Blizzard, already. So more like, who's after that :-)
Addiction has earned a medical definition in recent decades, and it focuses on the psychological feeling of craving and the persistent compulsive behavior. Thus, under the modern definition of addiction, yes you can experience craving for all kinds of non-substance things, beyond tolerance. (And, obviously, Substance Tolerance as a separate thing has also received a rigorous medical definition, but that came earlier than addiction.)

Of course I'd prefer to play games rather than do chores. And as a father I'm concerned that my son is spending too much time on the iPad playing minecraft. Is he an addict? Should there be intervention? He does seem to experience craving. Could it be a persistent compulsive behavior? For now he's able to put down the iPad and do the homework we all know needs to be done, so no, I don't view that as addiction and I don't think it fits the definition. But if it becomes an overriding compulsion to the exclusion of most other behaviors, then absolutely we should call that addiction and treat it like addiction.

"Big Tech" knows this quite well I think and we all should know that our A/B testing that's focused on user engagement is, in fact, curating addictive behavior.

Russia has had a siege mentality for quite a while now. Napoleon, the Kizer, Hitler, these events each shaped the russian Psyche. This is why Russia misbehaves, they are paranoid of invasion. They want to keep the west weak and divided so as to limit the threat.

To improve the situation we must find a way to bring them in to the fold. The more we isolate Russia, the more we play in to this narrative where the only winners are the military industrial complex.

Part of the deal is that the Chinese are much more hypersensitive than the Russians. The Chinese seem to have a deep inferiority complex about their country (a couple centuries of being over-run by foreigners can do that to you), and they are responding by aggressively trying to shut down any criticism whatsoever of China.

But strong nations don't need to do that. Weak nations do. Russia is actually stronger than China here, because Russia doesn't feel like they have to stop all criticism.
I think the implication here is that you have to 'maintain your credit card'. Not an issue until you switch banks or have some sort of issue with a corporate card that you use with your AWS account.

Yes, I'd say that there's a world of difference between setting up a project and a foundation to attract people with like-minded goals and practice advocacy while always showing your hand and keeping a focused scope for your activism on the one hand, and a long march through the existing open source institutions on the other with the aim of subverting and controlling them and assuming their moral authority to redefine what open source is and what our values are, and to drive out all dissenters, on the other. It is literally the difference between a startup and a hostile takeover.
The NBA recently [1] condemned an employee's post on Twitter in support of the Hong Kong protesters - shortly after the tweet was deleted and an apology was issued by the employee. While there is not proof of coercion it is strongly implied. Leaks [2] also indicated that the employee's immediate termination was strongly considered.

SIGNIFICANT EDIT: it seems the NBA has walked back and is now supporting the employee in question, as a consequence China has banned all NBA broadcasts in the country.
