This isn't a crisis. It's a strike. When the birthrate tanks, it's because people have decided that the society they live in is not only not worth trying to fix, but not worth perpetuating.

And it's no wonder this is the case in Japan:

1. Mothers seem to be expected to raise the kids on their own.

2. Fathers seem to expected to work all day into the night, and not spend time with their spouses and children.

3. Children seem to not get to be kids, but instead are expected to spend all day in school and then go to cram school.

4. There's no meaningful support from society or government, and extended families aren't around to help with the load.

5. Raising kids is hard, and expensive, and while nobody will praise you for doing it well you'll get plenty of blame if your kid doesn't turn out exactly the way others think they should.

6. Thanks to climate change and environmental collapse, Ragnarok seems just around the corner.

Given these premises, there seems to be zero upside to having children, and an endless downside. Why bother? That's the question Japanese adults seem to be asking themselves.

It's also the question many Americans and Europeans are asking themselves for similar reasons, but the low birthrate in the US is masked by immigration so the "threat" of population decline doesn't seem as imminent.

Once there's an actual upside to having kids, and parents aren't expected to do everything on their own while also working to "earn a living", we might see this "crisis" reverse itself.

But that would require fundamental social and economic changes that probably won't happen because the powers that be profit from the way things are.

>I worry that the censors are smart enough to understand that this is a ploy.

If they decide not to ban Overwatch, thinking that this Mei thing is a ploy, HK gets to use a symbol that won't be banned. If they ban Overwatch, they send a message to US companies that complying won't protect them. HK wins either way. The best solution for China would be to instruct Blizzard to release a version of Overwatch that didn't have this character, and if you want my prediction that's what they're going to do.
I would argue that no language is suited for all tasks. Some can handle more tasks than others tho.

> especially when there are so many violent protestors

You're just doubling down on it. The protests were completely peaceful for months, and even then police already were displaying wanton brutality. To blame this on the victims is expected as it is invalid.

> If HK police have the same protocol as US police, many extreme violent protestors would have already faced a much more serious consequence.

> while the "friends of HK" western media would be more than ok to watch HK burn

You're right now excusing police brutality, you don't get to point fingers like that. Nobody wants to see HK burn, I want to government to react with something OTHER than violence to what are perfectly reasonable demands, and I want the supporters of said violence to stop with the sophistry, while pretending they're the ones against violence*, against HK being a depraved place where the elderly and children get brutalized just because other people have no backbone.

I expect it's the same reason that the quality of discourse on the internet as a whole, including the English Wiki, has really quite deteriorated. On the Chinese Wiki there's a tremendous intellectual barrier to entry - being able to read/write Chinese. This is not to say that China (as the largest source of people able to read/write Chinese) is not full of 'less academically inclined' individuals, exactly as any other nation, but the percent of those individuals that are in any way involved with Wiki is going to be extremely close to 0.

The entire internet itself used to have a similar barrier to entry in that it wasn't something that 'normal' people 'did.' And so you had a relatively small group of generally 'more academically inclined' individuals mostly just engaging with one another. But as you opened the flood gates the 'newcomers' gradually became the majority and the internet was completely reshaped in their image. So compare, for instance, old newsgroup archives to e.g. Twitter or Facebook. Makes it quite easy to lose faith in society. In my case it simply led to me tossing aside any notion of tabula rasa.

But the point of this is that I don't think individuals who are 'more academically inclined' are the sort to sit around wasting hours, days, years edit warring and effectively trolling one another. They can accept different views, values, and also correct themselves when they discover they had a poorly formulated view. Wikipedia entered the game early enough that the internet hadn't gone completely to the 'less academically inclined', and so it had some time to grow. In today's environment Wiki, from scratch, would be simply impossible. By contrast, the Chinese Wiki gets to party like its 1992.

Sure, but there's loads of times relevant, and little known, background is not mentioned at all. The rebrand, rename or nuance of former dispute or civil war is quite often the reason the modern event is an issue in the first place.

Having become something of a history buff over the years, I quite often know at least some of the background behind a story, or what came before. I find it disappointing to just get events reported, without effort to give that necessary context. It can reveal the "why".

> And I'd clarify 'China' to 'the Chinese government'.

A friend of Chinese origin explained to me: when there are two people of Chinese origin in a room who don't intimately know each other, both of them will openly support the People's Republic because neither one can be completely sure that the other is not a mole. So given a group of people of Chinese origin, they all support the People's Republic (CCP). Now imagine if you grew up where all adults behaved like this. Would you need any specific brainwashing to support the People's Republic?
Ah sorry, maybe it's a Canadian thing. I have a mortgage with an amortization that's say 20 years. But I actually enter into an agreement and a rate for say 3 years. At 3 years myself and the bank need to enter into a new agreement, or I can shop around for the best rate for the next term with other providers (although some banks have been clever in the rules trying to prevent this).

An early renewal would be doing a renewal with the same bank at say the 2 year mark for a new term and interest rate. The bank allows the old contract to expire early, since they're getting the new one for an extended period, like another 3 years. These terms can vary, with 5 years being the most common, but can be shorter or longer and apply to both variable and fixed rate mortgages.

Note: I'm not an expect on this or how it compares to other regions.
Only 3% of the US is visually impaired, and often poorer than average due to disability, so for the vast majority of individual businesses, ignoring them would be less than a rounding error in revenue, and therefore warrant no consideration of accessibility. But the point of a society is to decide collectively upon certain moral imperatives that are deemed so fundamental to our collective identity as to take precedence over Randian self-interest, righteous indignation about "muh freedumb" and "don't tread on me" notwithstanding. One of those moral imperatives in the US is the protection of the rights of vulnerable minority classes so that we don't become a caste-based society where the circumstances of your birth (or unfortunate mishap) can indelibly decide your fate by limiting your access to society. This is actually MORE meritocratic than the alternative, and so I think, upon careful consideration, you may find that it dovetails nicely with even extreme Libertarianism.
Guerilla appropriation.

Leveraging the heavy handed approach of China to pit them against the western companies.

As a second order effect, by getting Overwatch and the likes banned (if that were to happen), maybe create some dissent within China itself, though that's a bit far fetched.

I know your trolling since your username is literally throwaway but I’ll still bite - these facilities are for people who are fleeing the poor conditions in their countries for a better life in the USA.

Having it in state allows you to react to changes in the form fields for validation, i.e. username availability, password strength, email validity, field character length (think twitter), etc.

Of course you can do this imperatively by manually querying the DOM and getting the input values, but I think it's nice to have the form data in the state to work with and have full control over it.

There’s no doubt he was an optimist just as there’s no doubt he was at war with institutionalized Christianity. Combatting Christianity and being a nihilist are not the same thing. You’re right that Nietzsche’s work comes from a place of hope.

Nietzsches cheif argument was for a “revaluation of all values”—he believed that, given the major technological and scientific breakthroughs in the 17c - 19c, man had to reorient his relation to life. The old social forms, such as traditional Christian morals, were holding humanity back by valuing or prioritizing the wrong things (e.g. humility instead of the pursuit of knowledge). That’s the major thrust of his whole output. He was largely right about this. The point of my op is to say that we’ve more or less achieved what he sought minus the ordination of some new shceme of shared values to guide us (ubermensch).

People let Nietzsche’s admittedly amazing stylistics cloud their comprehension of his arguments which are actually rather straightforward—he saw that the world was changing and that societal change was lagging far behind technical change, as it in fact still does to this day.

The fundamental problem is that the line is a personal opinion that differs, significantly in some cases, from person to person. Many believe their lines are objectively correct.

They don't care. Blizzard's well being is none of their concern, their only job is to prop up the party, even if it means genera disdain from the West.

I've been there, many a time. I could provide examples and go into detail on a great many things I've tried, but at the end of the day what I've learned (the hard way) is short and sweet: Fire your toxic clients. Yesterday.

Take the revenue hit and find another client who is easier to work with, doesn't stress you out, and is collaborative vs. combative.

There are plenty of businesses out there who require help. You can find them with some research and some outreach. But what you cannot get back is time and the stress and anguish that a toxic client brings.

Your life and your health are more important than that, so take the temporary hit and move on. You'll feel -- and be -- better for it.

One thing i'm not sure about WinRT and cannot figure out from the docs, AFAIK it is possible to "bit bang" (or "byte bang" if you will) a COM object by arranging everything in memory using plain old C structs (or equivalent for other languages) from compilers that weren't COM aware. Is it possible to do the same with WinRT or it requires the language to be WinRT aware? F.e. could i get something like TCC and write some code that uses a WinRT object even though TCC has no idea about WinRT?
