What news does reach "the majority of people in China"?

The children of senior officials routinely study overseas, it's painfully mundane.

As for China "ramping up anti-western rhetoric", I'm truly struggling to see what you mean being in a unique position between the two, would actually say the opposite.
Are you sure about that or is it more a localized viewpoint far removed from statements made by the Chinese government and media arms?

You mean “certain ideologies” like targeted harassment on the basis of race gender or religion, threats/incitement to violence, support of terrorism or genocide, child sexual exploitation, etc.?

I guess that’s true... but such ideologies have no place in a modern society.

If your ideology can only be expressed using hate, get your own platform. Nobody has a responsibility to amplify such messages.
I don't understand people complaining about the removal of the print statement. Switching that to a function call is the easiest part of porting to Python 3. You don't even have to do it yourself, just run 2to3. If you're complaining about that I feel like you're just looking for something to complain about.
> You'd have to also make it less attractive to be a landlord.

More apartments, condos, and houses lead to more rental units, which lowers rents, which makes it less attractive to be a landlord.

From these comments, I think you're missing a really huge category of robots - appliances. Why does a dishwasher or laundry machine not qualify as a robot, after all?
Looks like they use a JS library, so users will be able to detect the usage of this service in most cases.

Few will do so, but those that realize it will be your most vocal detractors. Consumers despise dynamic pricing.
I think San Francisco is still bitter at Uber and Lyft for succeeding without permission, and has given their competitors a random handout as a poke in the eye. That’s the only way this “no cars on Market except taxis” rule makes any sense.

Trump has a taxpayer supported press secretary. The fact that he no longer has any daily press briefings is on him, not something Twitter is required to make up for.
Yes. Every tech company outsources the dirty work. Facebook even outsources the mentally draining work of monitoring videos for child porn and violence. None of the large tech companies are innocent. We just put more emphasis on struggling factory workers in America than the conditions of people in other countries that “work for” them.
Suppose there's a thousand square kilometers of new growth forest. Is every tree in that area new? What if there's a tree that substantially predates the others and is now surrounded by new growth?

I'd agree that percentage tested isn't directly the same as likelihood we've found the oldest, but I do think there's a strong correlation.

Your statistical gymnastics is a case of how to lie with statistics.

Most rapes aren't cases of random strangers grabbing you randomly off the street. That's not how that works.

Most rape victims know their rapists. It's usually a social acquaintance of some sort.

Most college campus rapes or date rapes involve alcohol.

There is this narrative that we can't try to talk about what women can effectively do to protect themselves because that would be blaming the victim. But if you tell someone to lock your door to make it harder for someone to rob you, we don't have the same problem with such advice. We don't get all up in arms about how robbers just need to keep their hands to themselves and advice to protect your belongings is somehow victim blaming.

wait what? why make it so complicated... the simple fact is that people are pissed because one of their own got a treatment they didn't like. i am not involved or following but i get enough in the news to figure what's happening. a simple google search will give you plenty.

also, this is not the first time the gaming community went against a company. and tbh i am not sure some young ones don't know or care much about politics of what's happening in the east. one of their own got sacked. that's all that matters.

so yes, they probably shouldn't have banned that player.
I'm currently using a mix of MonicaHQ[1], Nextcloud[2], and Fastmail[3]. Obviously Fastmail isn't self-hosted, but monicahq/nextcloud are. I find it hard to use a webmail client without also having my contacts available to that mail client.

I really want to use MonicaHQ more, but it just feels like a lot of work whenever I log in to it so it gets pretty neglected. My alternative is to store notes about contacts in random spreadsheets, text files, or something like Joplin[4].

On Android, I'm syncing my contacts (and calendars) using davx5[5] with Nextcloud as the server. Nextcloud is already my tool for syncing files, so it having a carddav/caldav server built-in is just a convenient bonus. However, I'm considering moving to EteSync[6] in the near-future for end-to-end encrypted carddav/caldav server.

For moving contacts between different accounts, de-duping, and some other maintenance tasks I'm using an android app called "Contacts Optimizer"[7].

I guess I should also mention that this is just for my personal contacts. I do have to use google contacts for my work gsuite account.

Ask HN: How are you separate your personal vs. work laptop?
I know pretty well that my company laptop is capable of tracking almost everything I do. But still, I find it difficult to keep my digital life separate between personal vs. work. I often find myself doing mixed tasks, leaving my personal data and hobby works on the company's laptop all the time.

It is definitely not good for my company and me in the long term. I could potentially expose too much of my personal data to my company, or worst, accidentally leaking the company's data to my personal stuff.

Moving away from it is also challenging, for example, browser history, notes, messaging, emails, online activities...

How are you currently dealing with it? Or do you have this problem at all? I would love to learn. Thanks.
reddit is not representative of sentiment. I don't think the topic will go away so quickly, esp since NBA and Lebron have brought so much heat on them as well.
Is it possible to prevent the assister from actually executing the commands on your system?

I could use this in a lot more places if the assister could see my screen/output and propose commands for me to run, but I was still in control of what commands are executed. (i.e. if I could safely use this as part of the customer support process for my customers, I would be extremely willing to pay for it).

No, they are assuming it could have been worse.

Unfortunately, entitled parents still think everyone should bend over backwards for them because they have children. It’s madness.

Having children means sacrificing _something_. Maybe one of the parents needs to cut back on work hours OR stay home completely (and that doesn’t mean it should be the woman).

Can’t afford that? You don’t get to eat your cake and have it too. Maybe you shouldn’t have kids. Jesus.

School is not daycare.
Grandparents are not automatic babysitters.
Friends don’t have to love your spawn.

Nobody should have to give two poops that you chose to have kids. That is YOUR choice, not ours.

It’s not millennials or boomers or whatever “generation” ruining the world — it’s entitlement. So many parents want to be more-than-equal. It’s disgusting.
This is from 2017 and I hope the title can be adjusted to reflect as much. Its still a great article.
This is nothing compared to how much knowledge we're losing when placing it inside someone's walled garden like FB groups which are not accessible to crawlers, not accessible to users without account and not accessible to users with account due to garbage UI and search.
Consider that they're already bending their TOS for important world leaders. If a world leader says something bigoted that would get you or I banned, they won't. So it makes sense to soft-ban them.
I think you’d have to be in the Southern Hemisphere to notice such a thing.
Gains from homework in primary school are derisory and not much better in middle school. Even in high school the gains are a quarter of a standard deviation. Not worth the enormous cost in time, sleep and stress.

Homework and attainment in primary schools

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1080/014119299025...

The findings indicated that the highest test scores were achieved by those pupils who reported doing homework ‘once a month’ in each of the core subjects. Homework reported more frequently than ‘once a month’ was generally associated with lower attainment. Multilevel models that controlled for important variables did not lend support to the ‘more is better’ view of homework.

Special Topic / The Case For and Against Homework

http://www.ascd.org/publications/educational-leadership/mar0...

Although teachers across the K–12 spectrum commonly assign homework, research has produced no clear-cut consensus on the benefits of homework at the early elementary grade levels. In his early meta-analysis, Cooper (1989a) reported the following effect sizes (p. 71):
Grades 4–6: ES = .15 (Percentile gain = 6)
Grades 7–9: ES = .31 (Percentile gain = 12)
Grades 10–12: ES = .64 (Percentile gain = 24)
It's understated article, but I submitted it because I thought there were some strong points.

It's hard to find the right pull-quote for it, but I thought the paragraphs about Libertarians being ignored are true: "I can’t help but think that efforts to unpack what separates red states from blue states haven’t been careful to differentiate between conservatives and libertarians. Venn diagrams of voters generally categorize voters as Republicans and Democrats or liberals and conservatives. But as is becoming increasingly apparent, the cool-headed libertarian in my classroom who’s willing to sacrifice his mother for the greater good doesn’t fit neatly into any of these circles."

I thought the comment about the framing of the gun control argument was good: "Imagine a gun control debate that avoided an argument over the value and necessity of guns, but instead was framed around how to protect civil liberties and limit gun violence without excessive governmental involvement. Imagine if care were taken to frame the discussion not as outsiders trying to impose their will on people whose culture they did not understand, but rather as one among people with a shared interest in protecting the safety of their children. My suspicion is a conversation like that would reveal useful common ground."

And I thought the comment on the abortion debate was apt: "I’ve also come to believe that if liberals started from the premise that the pro-life position is a legitimate argument that comes from love not hate, the tenor of the conversation about choice would be quite different. For if one were inclined to search for consensus rather than difference—to listen with curiosity rather than judgment—it’s possible to see far broader agreement on abortion in America than is commonly allowed."

To the extent that there is a conclusion, I think it's an argument that philosophy (and a liberal arts education) can be a useful in promoting understanding and resolving conflict: "We teach people that it’s impolite to discuss religion and politics in public. It’s wrong. We need to teach people how to discuss religion and politics. ... Instead of concerning ourselves with ensuring safe spaces for students, we need to create more spaces in which constructive conflict can occur. Trust me, no one will get hurt. Even in a classroom with divergent points of view on hot-button political issues, no one at App said anything racist or bullying. ... We can teach people to distinguish unreasonable arguments from reasonable arguments with which they disagree and, where differences are unresolvable, how to disagree reasonably."
A currency that can’t be debased or inflated and is hard money is what an NGO like UNICEF needs.
Raku has `await` but it doesn't need `async`.

sub foo ( Int \n where 1..100 ) {
# ___ start is a prefix operator that creates a Promise
# V
start { sleep n.rand; (1..n).pick }
}

my $result = foo(10);

say $result.status; # Planned

say await $result; # 6 (after a delay)

# this is nearly identical to foo above
sub bar ( Int \n where 1..100 ) {
Promise.in( n.rand ).then({ (1..n).pick })
}

(Note that `start` does not need a block unless you are grouping more than one statement as I have above.)

There are combinators like `Promise.allof` and `Promise.anyof`.

You usually don't need to use `Promise.allof`, because you can use `await` on a list.

my @promises = Promise.in(1.rand) xx 10;

my @results = await @promises;

(Note that the left side of `xx` is _thunky_ so there are ten different Promises with ten different random wait times.)

You should see the `react`/`supply` and `whenever` feature.

If they're federating the ML, they can also do federated learning. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federated_learning) Although in most cases I suspect it's probably not federated learning, instead just a deployed model that they've trained with in house data.

That's cool, and there is a way to do this in chrome in the right circumstances (like another tab/window spawned that tab/window). But if you just want it there as kind of a DVR then that's nice... I wish that was the default (at least up to some reasonable buffer size).

Surely the two demonstrate an equal ability to understand entry level philosophy, which (in my experience) is about constructing philosophical arguments in a sound way? I remember doing a lot of proofs, boolean logic, exploring fallacies, etc.
Furthermore, the guidelines explicitly note that these types of articles are off-topic - politics, generally.

I have avoided commenting on this since, as you wrote, it's not kosher, but I have noticed an increase in political articles (unrelated to tech) that make it to the front page. It is worrying to me.
Homeschooling and the Question of Socialization Revisited

https://www.stetson.edu/artsci/psychology/media/medlin-socia...

This article reviews recent research on homeschooled children’s socialization. The research indicates that homeschooling parents expect their children to respect and get along with people of diverse backgrounds, provide their children with a variety of social opportunities outside the family, and believe their children’s social skills are at least as good as those of other children. What homeschooled children think about their own social skills is less clear. Compared to children attending conventional schools, however, research suggest that they have higher quality friendships and better relationships with their parents and other adults. They are happy, optimistic, and satisfied with their lives. Their moral reasoning is at least as advanced as that of other children, and they may be more likely to act unselfishly. As adolescents, they have a strong sense of social responsibility and exhibit less emotional turmoil and problem behaviors than their peers. Those who go on to college are socially involved and open to new experiences. Adults who were homeschooled as children are civically engaged and functioning competently in every way measured so far. An alarmist view of homeschooling, therefore, is not supported by empirical research. It is suggested that future studies focus not on outcomes of socialization but on the process itself.
I agree with you, and I think most people do, that disrupting a tournament with political speech deserves some kind of punishment, perhaps up to a ban, though ideally not for the first offense. The punishment should be made clear in the rules and enforced objectively rather than selectively.

But note that what actually happened is much worse than a minor punishment: full ban for a year, confiscation of prize money that had previously been won, firing both the (Taiwanese!) interviewers for a crime that was extremely close to just being unavoidably in the wrong place at the wrong time, having the company representing Blizzard in China issuing an apology about defending China's "national pride".. it feels like a set of consequences that were likely dictated by China, or at least planned explicitly to try to please them.

You can object to a specific punishment without objecting to the idea of giving a punishment, and I think that's what's been happening here.
How can I improve relationships with people, who only care about the problem at hand rather than their own feelings? Where can I find more of these people?
It's interesting also that Jackson takes the active voice and Kierstin takes the passive voice. The people are killed vs I kill the person.

Difference in perspective? Maybe nothing?
If that's truly the case, I'd like to see the developer grapple with that.

However, I don't think that's the case at all. We can see in the real world there are many ways to strike a balance between safety and privacy.
