And we are free to criticize the current US President, and we are aware of his wrongdoings, as are all citizens of the country- resulting in a change in the way the political calculus of the country runs.

How is this in any way comparable to China where people have to come up with homophones/alternate words to literally get around armies of state censors?
Exactly- which means that the issue it's not the sense of (even genetic) superiority per se, but that of being threatened.

Btw, we have an entire genre of fiction (a subset of science fiction) in which humanity is threatened by technologically and cognitively superior races coming from other planets- this doesn't prevent us from trying to exterminate them to ensure our survival.

The story goes that the US Army refused to cooperate with Heartbreak Ridge once they read the script, but the USMC agreed without reading it. That’s why you’ve got the corrupt supply sergeant, the useless platoon commander, the cowardly company commander, the unit that is forced to repeat basic training and everything else that portrays everyone but Clint Eastwood’s character in a poor light.

You mean when a comment is not readable anymore it is 'marking' instead of censoring? So if China hides peoples opinion it is 'marking', like being a good thing? I don't get this.

It's the other way around - once SEC blesses something then NASDAQ or NYSE or any other exchange can list it.

NASDAQ is a private, for-profit corporation, not a regulator. I doubt they frequently reject listings, at least in the short term it's in their interest to have as many listings as possible.

In addition - NASDAQ, like all other exchanges, is subject to its own regulatory oversight from the SEC.

With all of that please remember that playing by the rules is not a pure loss. It opens you up to professional/institutional investors. These guys know and trust what the SEC says, far more so than what any random company says.

Also, remember why was the SEC created in the first place - it was after the 1929 crash (which was far more severe than the 2008 crash, see for yourself on a log() chart) and after the great depression that followed.

Well, I just have to shake my head and grin, considering the lack of comments as we surpass two hours of exposure here on HN. Yes, it is a silly high school essay question identical to the ones filling the China forums on Reddit and elsewhere. Still, no takers? No wumao either?

Think about this: the CCP is at the helm of all things of significance in the People's Republic of China. It is at the heart of the PRC's problem of totalitarian governance. It is at the heart of all human rights abuses violating international standards: ethnic cleansing, extra-judicial imprisonment, interference with the free exercise of religion and free speech, involuntary organ harvesting, a deplorable judicial system, torture, and general corruption.

The CCP is a criminal enterprise masquerading as a government.
TFA is saying that the USA is optimising its nuclear arsenal for a surprise first strike capability.

Surprise first strikes work best if unexpected. So encouraging the President to throw a hissy fit and press the button is the best strategy if you're a nuclear general with rockets to launch. First strikes aren't retaliation. This is not escalation of a conventional conflict. This is out-of-the-blue, kill the other guy's ability to hit you. Think Pearl Harbour but with nukes.

If "having a fight" means we both die, then non-violence is the only answer. A nuclear war has no "winners". Being "subjugated" or "not-subjugated" is the same: generations of radioactive hell. Losing a conventional war is better than winning a nuclear war. So yes, non-violence please.
It's a group of runners there to keep up the running pace, to block wind and generally add morale.

Over the duration of the attempt, runners will hop in and hop out of the run to keep the running pace alongside Kipchoge as well as block wind (a non-trivial factor) over 26.2 miles. Also, it is mentally boosting to have teammates and even competitors of his run along side him as he pushes his body and mind farther than he has ever had before.
I've done that in the past, but a lot of authors have rightful objections to this, since these direct payments to authors don't reach publishers, editors, and many other people who make the book happen.

I almost bought this, but the author looks very shady:

>G. Edward Griffin (born November 7, 1931) is an American author, filmmaker, and conspiracy theorist. Griffin's writings promote a number of views and conspiracy theories regarding various of his political, defense and health care interests. In his book World Without Cancer, he argues that cancer is a nutritional deficiency that can be cured by consuming amygdalin, a view regarded as quackery by the medical community.[2][3][4] He is the author of The Creature from Jekyll Island (1994), which promotes false theories about the motives behind the creation of the Federal Reserve System.[2][5] He is an HIV/AIDS denialist, supports the 9/11 Truth movement, and supports a specific John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory.[2] He also believes that the biblical Noah's Ark is located at the Durupınar site in Turkey.

Since The results are very different, in practice and observable reality, I would have to say that the statement is wrong.

For all the indirect pressure, anti war movies do exist as do movies that challenge American systems and narratives of superiority - from within their own country.

Dissent is enshrined as a part of existence in america.

In China it is anathema, and they explicitly and implicitly act to maintain that strength.

Hence the whole point of the article - it’s not america which is asking Apple to take down apps because they hurt China’s image, and it’s not America telling the NBA to correct its errors.

When people kneeled in america during football games, or highlighted their protest, it was handled publicly and all sides were audible.
political tribes fought over the act on the air waves- but that’s something that doesn’t happen in China at all; No one was whisked away to a re-education camp.

A couple of things on my checklist for mathematical purity are (a) first-class macros and (b) hardcoded builtins. It looks like Bel does have first-class macros. As for (b)...

> Some atoms evaluate to themselves. All characters and streams do, along with the symbols nil, t, o, and apply. All other symbols are variable names

The definitions of "ev" and "literal" establish that nil, t, o, and apply are in fact hardcoded and unchangeable. Did you consider having them be variables too, which just happen to be self-bound (or bound to distinctive objects)? nil is a bit of a special case because it's also the end of a list, and "(let nil 3 5)" implicitly ends with " . nil"; o might be an issue too (said Tom arguably); but apply and t seem like they could be plain variables.

P.S. It looks like you did in fact implement a full numerical tower—complex numbers, made of two signed rational numbers, each made of a sign and a nonnegative rational number, each made of two nonnegative integers, each of which is a list of zero or more t's. Nicely done.

See is the only thing from their original shows that piques my interest, and it seems at least a little bit "edgy"?
I don’t think so. My simple reading of things there is that that was for one particular micro-benchmark (and the Benchmarks Game is acknowledged to be unrealistic and not actually suitable for comparing language performance), that the results were not actually conclusive, and that it had required telling SBCL to do some stupidly dangerous things that you should probably never turn on on real software, because they may well make it behave catastrophically badly rather than just crashing when you have a bug.

On https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... at present, the fastest SBCL implementation, which seems to include these optimisations, is at 2.0, with other SBCL implementations being slower, the first one (whatever that means) being 8.0; meanwhile, the Rust implementations range between 1.0 and 1.2. The SBCL implementations all use at least eight times as much memory as the Rust implementations, too.

I think this demonstrates my point pretty well, actually.
I don’t know if you are wrong, but I would give fennel lang a look. It’s a lisp that compiles to Lua, so you can access LuaJIT performance while lisping away.

From its home page: "ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed! ScummVM supports many adventure games, including LucasArts SCUMM games (such as Monkey Island 1-3, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, ...), many of Sierra's AGI and SCI games (such as King's Quest 1-7, Space Quest 1-6, ...), Discworld 1 and 2, Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, Beneath A Steel Sky, ... and many more."

Those who used the database — companies including Google, Amazon, Mitsubishi Electric, Tencent and SenseTime — appear to have been unaware of the law, and as a result may have huge financial liability, according to several lawyers and law professors familiar with the legislation.

There seems almost zero chance that the notes will be released. Brian has been increasingly adament about it, largely because a lot of people are vocal about suspecting they don't exist.

(I personally do believe that some notes were left, but I suspect they were not complete, and were utterly ignored by Brian & Kevin. Because they is no explanation which makes more sense. There's no way he would have tied up with series by referencing characters never-before introduced from before the previous books.)
We do not speak of that here.

Kidding aside, Curse wasn't too bad, but it wasn't where the original creator(s) intended to go with the story.

And now that Disney owns LucasArts, chances of them supporting a franchise that conflicts with their own Pirates of the Caribbean (one of the inspirations for Monkey Island in the first place) are slim indeed. :(

How come there haven't even been any other games (that I can recall right now) based on pirates and voodoo and traveling between different islands?

It's the histrionic piety that's the problem, not the particulars of the facts. It's in the context of watching parents killing themselves to prove to other parents how their children are their sole focus in life, and that anyone who would do less is an unworthy parent.

It's evident in an argument of the form "we wouldn't think of X," wherein compromise is simply declared out of bounds of any possible discussion.

Prior generations of parents did not do this; they struck a balance between their children's needs and their own needs. That's why there are new terms to describe the modern excess: helicopter parenting and even "snowplow" parenting[1]. These are not healthy developments for parents, children or society as a whole.

I would think that at least on HN we're more sophisticated than that. Just because child trafficking, drug dealing and terrorism are abused by politicians to excuse mass surveillance, doesn't mean they aren't real problems or that surveillance tech isn't able to help with them. Reasonable people consider trade-offs, and not cast everything in light of "sides" and "defending" yours.

Yeah, as if the name is what caused the non-adoption of a 20 years late replacement for a language that had already fallen out of fashion with developers (and with many growing pains in the compiler and tooling to boot).

If anything, they used the "Perl 6" for most of the time, which renders the argument even more moot...
