Crashplan doesn’t support backing up NAS on Windows but does for Windows and Linux. Interesting....

That being said, I think if I had a NAS, I would want a solution that runs directly on the NAS instead of depending on a host computer.

>How it plays out in the EU I have no idea, news of any of their businesses or governments bending to China's will are pretty much absent from US news

EU governments and companies bend over for China way easier than in the US as there's a huge lack on unity in the EU where it's every country for itself like when China protested on Norway's leaders not meeting the Dalai Lama and Norway complied.[1]

What happens if I have dependents? Should I sacrifice the wellbeing of my child with a medical condition? My spouse with their medical condition? Should I sacrifice my parents who need me to help paying for their care? What if I come from an impoverished neighbourhood and I'm putting my nephews and neices through college- should they also be sacrificed?

What happens if it's not temporary? What happens if I'm blackballed for my whole career?

Asking for sacrifice from the people who have the least amount of power as individuals, and the most to lose, when there is another option-- demand the sacrifice on the part of an unfeeling instution with no family just a C-suite and a board-- is borderline inhumane.

From the about of the site:

> Stratechery is written by me, Ben Thompson. I am based in Taipei, Taiwan, and am fully supported by my work at Stratechery.

I think it's important to know the perspective of the author, being situated in Taiwan:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan,_China

"the People's Republic of China (PRC) ― which is widely recognized by the international community as the legitimate representative of "China" ― does not currently exercise jurisdiction over areas controlled by the Republic of China (ROC)."
India comes to mind.

Maybe you're right, there aren't many. But that doesn't make the violence and destruction right, that doesn't make the violence and destruction just.
Here, the action was fast in a way that speaks of external coordination.

If someone in the US makes politically questionable speech, the fallout is stretched over days, and generally products aren't pulled immediately from retailers, etc. Here, we had many commercial actors respond at once (Alibaba, Tencent, Li Ning, China Basketball Association, etc.).

It reeks of state coordination and pressure, especially when Chinese government entities are making related contemporaneous statements. Even if it wasn't, it's overly reactionary; elsewhere, one tends not to immediately kill commercial relationships over a controversial statement by one executive, but instead see how the organization as a whole will react to concerns first.
So what if it does? Some things are not worth that additional bump in stock prices.

LeBron James is sponsored by Nike (as are all of the jerseys) and Nike has significant interest in keeping the Chinese market open. LeBron is leading production of Space Jam 2. He won’t jeopardize international acclaim and box office revenue for this.

> You always kind of get what you pay for. If you pay an annual maintenance, then you can expect regular and secure updates, otherwise you are buying the product as is at time of purchase.

Let's unpack this:

You get what you pay for... yet you also say that OpenWRT solves this problem and is available free of charge.

If you pay for a support contract, you get support right up to the point where the company decides to stop that support. If you have a contract worded the right way, you might be able to take the company to court over it, but if the company's willing to settle, you end up with some go-away money and an insecure router nobody's supporting. Does the money pay for next week's massive outage due to someone taking over your routers?

Finally, the product as it was at time of purchase was a product fit to be sold, without major defects. In other industries, that's a standard companies are held to: If a ball joint goes out completely after 10,000 miles, Ford's kinda on the hook for that, neh? They can't say that you have the car you purchased because the car you purchased was driveable and not sitting on the side of the road.
Great phrase, "fall into the scissor". I think the brilliance of this story is not whether it represents a truly plausible scenario, but that it creates a meme that is anti-divisive. These kinds of things have real power. I hope your phrase about not falling into the scissor catches on. It would do a lot of forum discussions a lot of good.
If you're talking about French war and WW 2, then both of those wars were won by Russians, so those are examples of Russian superiority when we're talking about nation pride. Also I don't think that many Russians thinks that Russia lost Cold War. It was internal rebellion and has nothing to do with US. Last time Russia lost was Mongol invasion but it was so long ago.
> it's not like China is going to come up with their own basketball league that's going to overtake the NBA, ever.

Why not? Is it inconceivable that in the future the CBA will be able to compete with the NBA for top talent? I guarantee that down the road a future Zion Williamson will choose to play in China over New Orleans. This won't be in the near future mind you, but as the Chinese economy grows, and as basketball gets more popular, I don't see why this couldn't be the future.
I have a feeling you're not going to want to admit this, but the current administration is actively reversing that policy. Also look into what China is doing economically in Africa and you might be reminded of pre-Gulf War America in the Middle East.
Yev here -> No plans on the Computer Backup side. We haven't been able to come up with a way to do it affordably and in a way that makes sense for us - so we recommend folks use B2 Cloud Storage and any of the integrations that work for both. Cloudberry and Comet backup work pretty well. You can see more on: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/integrations.html?platform=linu... (I set it to use Linux + Backup as the parameters).

> Kunlun Tech had acquired Grindr without undergoing CFIUS review. TikTok similarly acquired Musical.ly without oversight and relaunched it as TikTok for the Western market; it is worth at least considering the possibility of a review given TikTok’s apparent willingness to censor content for Western audiences according to Chinese government wishes.

Musical.ly was a Shanghai-based company targeting the western market, once considered as a case study for similar types of companies.
>Can we relax with the self-made, altruistic view of billionaires?

I'm not sure that user is pushing a particular agenda you describe. Nor does the name of a book prove much of anything.
It absolutely is the responsibility of American businessmen, but the question wasn't about businessmen it was about the NBA - the NBA is a corporation with no fealty, loyalty or citizenship within any country in the world. I think in America there has been a hard push to prevent government control into various companies - just because this scenario is about decrying a foreign entity instead of the US flexing power domestically (i.e. via warrantless wiretapping) doesn't change the fact that, at a basic level, it's the same exact problem.

Lastly, there are no American corporations, nothing should be given to them because they're assumed to be American and nothing should be expected of them - anything required of them should be encoded into law so that one corporation can't exploit the morally correct decision of another corporation as a weakness.
Not really. The integrations are node-up, meaning the SAAS creates its own integration as value-add to its customers; and there's some user growth that emerges from being in their catalog. But, you point is somewhat valid in that many of the integrations tend to be shallow - so apart from a few key functions it can be tough to use them for complex workflows.
The Monty Python sketch is exactly where my mind went, too, and this idea goes farther back, about the power of ideas (meta!): the pen is mightier than the sword. What force has compelled so many throughout history to face the sword and die by it, if not ideas? I think that skit masterfully short-circuits the concept.

>Rights can, in theory, be had by everyone. Privileges are inherently for a select few.

when it is had by everyone then it is a right. Until that it is a privilege. For example voting in US was in the past a privilege of white male property owners, and today it is pretty much a right (if one discounts voter suppression state laws, etc).

Another example - free speech can, in theory, be had by everyone in Russia or China, yet it is really far from everybody having it there. Thus it isn't a right there despite that "can, in theory".

> You really can't see how someone could believe China is 'marginalized'?

I am not sure what you mean by marginal here.

The fact that the NBA and Blizzard will apologize to China in a debased fashion is very strong evidence that China is in no way marginalized, but is actually in a position of incredible strength.
You have warranties for those, though. Also, no lives are in risk in dlink's case. It's more comparable with a shirt that falls apart after washing a few times.
I’ll be sure to remind the millions of Muslims in Chinese concentration camps that they can rest easy knowing that other countries also sometimes commit atrocities.
I’ll expand on this by pulling two sequential quotations in the article from NBA commissioner Adam Silver:

"It is inevitable that people around the world -- including America and China -- will have different viewpoints over different issues. It is not the role of the NBA to adjudicate those differences.”

Bullshit, see North Carolina.

“However, the NBA will not put itself in a position of regulating what players, employees and team owners say or will not say on these issues. We simply could not operate that way."

Bullshit, see Donald Sterling.
This has been cited around here more times than I care to count: https://xkcd.com/1357/

"Freedom of Speech" is a Western concept generally traced back to Greece and Rome. Why would you expect China to adopt a similar position when it's not part of their philosophy, history, or culture?
I'm currently trying out "Ad And Stuff Blocker" (https://apps.apple.com/dk/app/ad-and-stuff-blocker/id1184130...). It's not the best, but surprisingly decent and free.

How is self-made a myth? Not saying all billionaires should be envied, praised, etc. I'm sure many are huge manipulative asshole. But many also came from very modest to virtually no means, how is that a myth?
That's a huge straw man and not at all what I was referring to.

Stop buying goods that support these policies. Stop supporting politicians that support these policies. Stop patronizing companies that lobby for these things. Use apps like "Goods Unite Us" to find out where your money is going.

The only way to do anything as an individual is to vote with your wallet, your feet, and your actual vote. When that cumulative change affects the bottom line of these companies, they'll have no choice but to change.

If you come here for intellectual discussion, expect to have your ideas challenged.

FWIW, I thought the same as you when I got out of college, and it's only after reading a bunch more history and learning to separate reality as it is from reality as I would like it to be that I ended up revising that opinion.
Yev here -> No NAS support in this release. That part has not changed, however if you have external hard drives that you are backing up, this extended Version History does affect those! Sorry for the confusion.
Interesting project, I like Zapier, and was interested in using this. — What about auto converting to GPL always 3? 4? 5? years into the future? So the current version of the project is guaranteed to become open source eventually, although it always starts as Commons-Clause for a few years.

Look at the Business Source license — they do that. (I'm doing the same with my project: AGPL —> GPL some years later.)

Best wishes :- )

> so if you're parsing a lot of small JSON files, whatever difference in speed the JSON parser makes is masked somewhat by the interpreter overhead

Does this vary based on the size/quantity of the input JSON files? I would expect this to hold regardless of size/quantity of the input files? Further, isn't CPython's implementation already native code? If so, I would expect the bottleneck to be allocating the output objects or pressure on the GC or something?
Having worked in ad-tech for the past 5 year or so, this is a pretty awesome list.

All of the apps are "self-hosted". The marketplace just gives you one-click deploy to a VPS. It's especially convenient if you want to play around without committing to learn the setup bits. I haven't used the marketplace for any long term projects. But it's great for making MVP's.
You’re free to use the sandbox outside of the App Store, but the problem is that there is little incentive to do so unless Apple forces you to through App Store review.
Crashplan is more than twice the price, so you'd even have the budget for an extra device.

Did you ever have to restore a significant amount of data with CrashPlan? Its been more than a month since a 3tb drive died on me and I'v only got 1/3 of it restored so far. I don't see any local bottlenecks. Its restore-or-upload, so recent data in unsecured as well. :(

CrashPlan does supports client side encryption, making Blackblaze not really an option for me.

I think our appreciation for liberty is under appreciated.

Having grown up as a Chinese immigrant, I think this is true in ways that I wish the more fervent Americans could appreciate.

By that I mean I wish Americans respected the more general principle of enfranchisement more, but these days in practice that's just a straight up criticism of the GOP and anyone who votes for them, due to their gerrymandering and voter suppression practices.

This speedtest is somewhat accurate and is pointed to our data center so should give you a decent idea of speed -> https://www.backblaze.com/speedtest/. The reason latency is a factor is that it affects how quickly data leaves your computer and gets to our data center, so if you're far away, it can play a factor!
That's the entire point. Even if Apple was going to be able to go somewhere else (India, US, etc.), it wouldn't hurt China much if every other tech company maintains course and/or doubles down on China. Unless China is hurt economically by their actions, nothing will change.
I don't have too much time to educate you on these things but just to note:

Re: "60 to 100 million of its citizens" is just straight up wrong. There was a Great Famine in China* - Mao did not murder up to 100 million citizens. Are you serious? Your own source says as much.

Re: Social Credit System (SCS) - By pretty much every metric the SCS has not resulted in massive discrimination on the scale of racism and sexism in the United States. However this may change. But for now this is not really relevant in terms of making a comparison.

Funny enough I don't really like China that much (or any large country) for a variety of reasons, but your reasoning is both absurd and factually incorrect. It's literally propaganda. Please educate yourself before making outlandish claims. China murdered 60 to 100 million of its citizens? Jeez - the American education system is an embarrassment.

* Though the famine should not and cannot be compared to murder, anyone who has read the literature probably knows that Mao's overzealous policies during the period probably increased the death toll, but even so that cannot be said to be "murder". Saying such is propaganda and more importantly, wrong.

---

Also, to say American passed the Civil Rights Act without mentioning the Civil War is silly. The Civil War killed about 2% of the USA population. So if America was the size of China (which it wasn't), that would be like 12 million people dying, approximately half of the population generally accepted to have died during the 1960 in China (during the Great Famine).

I won't bother comparing Xinjiang to Guantanamo Bay...
Everything is a social construction. Does that mean we should descend into relativistic nihilism, or that authoritarianism is acceptable merely because it exists?

Human rights are defended when we as humans refuse to stand idly by while they are violated. Which is why it's still important to identify the lines that are not to be crossed.

Muddling the fundamental safeguards that allow a free society to exist with the petty jealousy of who has a bigger house is only a boon to the despots who would tear those safeguards down.

No quotes here. You're apropriating the language of open source ("free and open source" is also a key phrase people will recognize and make assumptions from) to describe software you know isn't. In order to know that this page is bullshit, you have to come here already knowing that "Apache 2.0 with Commons Clause" is not open source. The (awful) license apropriates the "Apache 2.0" name, which is a respected and well known open source license, and aporopriates the language of "Creative Commons", likewise respected and well-known to mean something entirely different from this. Someone who isn't informed about this problem could easily mistake this project for open source. You're deliberately taking advantage of this to gaslight the open source software community.

Your software is source-available. Call it that. If you're ashamed to do so then maybe you've chosen a shitty license. You know that you're lying about "open source". You've admitted as much yourself.

The authors of the Commons Clause themselves acknoweldge that it's not open source.
