From what I’ve seen, and also experienced, the expats who were genuinely friendly have not experienced any anti-western feelings.

It’s more like in the past, the locals would often defer to western expats and basically put us on a pedestal.

Now, especially with the younger generation, that deference is gone. They treat western expats as any other normal person.

The expats that we’re once used to a certain level of obedience are no longer comfortable with this new assertiveness and see it as anti-western feelings.

Whereas those of us that were never cared for that in the first place, don’t experience anything different.

I think this is also evident in the type of Youtubers that either remained or left China.
Why should whitepages.com be illegal?

Phone companies used to print hard copies of the white pages and hand deliver it to everyone’s house, and the biggest concern anyone ever had about them was the volume of waste they generated.
Anyone know how and why this Dutch/Chinese collaboration came about?

I know that ESA headquarters are in the Netherlands. Do they just have so much space funding they have to look outside of Europe?
"Detox" diets are pure nonsense with no basis in medical science.
CA's local governments have basically reached crippling levels of stupidity. I live in Mountain View, the home town of Google, but every city around here has made building so difficult, that it barely happens. What we do build are expansive planned "communities", where a developer managed to navigate the web of red tape and got it approved, and the amount of red tape involved is so huge that it's not worth trying to build small developments, like duplexes or triplexes, which would help a lot here!

To give you some concrete examples; in Mountain View, adding a new unit of housing requires about $80k in impact fees and permit fees from the city, and the permits require bending over backward, since they're sometimes self conflicting. We've now banned natural gas, so homes have to be electric. The only way to heat electrically efficiently is heat pumps, but those are affected by noise ordinances, so it's tricky to place them. Solar panels are mandatory, but you need to pay for a permit to install them. Electric car chargers are mandatory. The fire code, city code, and state building codes conflict at times, so you sometimes have the fire inspection, then change stuff around for the city inspector, etc.

Everybody knows how broken it is, so everyone cheats, and inspectors sign off on temporary kludges, knowing full well they'll be changed right after inspection, but the i's must be dotted, and the t's must be crossed. But hey, "we're" doing something!

Sheesh. I wish tar and feathering of politicians made a return to modern political discourse.
I usually read other's code a lot. I personally believe, reading other's code (at your workplace, open-source, etc.) is better than practicing. I am not sure if it's true but it worked for me.
APIs you provide to consumers should aim to make their badly written code just work. That's what Linus said.
Fascinating article, addresses my question exactly. Thanks.
Edit: To paraphrase from Steve Yegge's platform rant. It's got a lot more than that.

However it turns out some religious fasts allow you to eat whatever you want after dark, or something like that. The discovery of which tempered my awe somewhat.
Perhaps the detox means less than just in-taking calorie low food for a few days.
China vs. the World: A Kubernetes and Container Perspective
I also had a hard time understanding this project, but my understanding is that this is basically a binary that runs on a UNIX machine.

It transparently uses UNIX APIs and implements the stack from bottom to top: it’s an OS in the sense that the web browser is called the OS.

This ‘OS’, or binary interacts with other computers and create an decentralized web.

The developers documentation & how to run part is clearer about what this is... but urbit really should document what it ‘really’ is...
I'm so sorry for your wife. Please focus on the time you have with her.
This is a load of shit, but I can see how people would want to believe.
Ketones! When you are metabolizing fat, your need for glucose drops substantially. Only a few cell types require glucose. Ketones also spare muscle.
AI is not similar to human intelligence.  Thinking so could be dangerous
With the exception of Ben Greenfield, none of these people seem to have a sports science background. In the realm of athletics, things like intermittent fasting and keto diets are something of a meme. Some people do advocate for training with depleted muscle glycogen first thing in the morning, but there's no consensus that this does anything.
yes, wikipedia says he left. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbit

seems like the whole project has been mired in controversy because of the alt-right / anti-egalitarian political views of the founder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin

if urbit got $1.2m seed from thiel in 2013 (listed on wikipedia), they should be out of that money by now even if they had stretched it.
I've always struggled to understand how Fidonet (and BBSes) was different to Usenet.

From what I gathered, Usenet was a decentralised network from the start, whereas BBSes were distinct communities and Fidonet was a solution to connect these communities together.
I believe Usenet also runs on TCP/IP, unlike BBSes which you dialed into.

Can anyone shed some light on the above?
Your last comment really resonated with me. This year I started thinking about how we relate ourselves to food, and I've come to think that we live in a very food-centric society. We have TV shows, instagram accounts, magazines and influencers all dedicated to sharing the best meals, recipes and restaurants. It is also very hedonistic. If you eat, it must be something delicious and picture-perfect, otherwise it's a missed opportunity. Don't bother cooking if you're not a MasterChef-level cook, it's better to just Deliveroo.

It's okay to sometimes cook bland food, or food that doesn't look that great. It's just food after all. And honestly we cook and eat so much. We don't need to consume as much as we do.

After gaining a few kilos last year I decided to stop following so many cooks and recipe channels. Suddenly my obsession with food was gone. Before, if I wasn't cooking, or eating a meal or a snack, or thinking about going to a restaurant, I was watching cooking videos or reactions to meals. After cutting it off, I only thought about food when I was hungry, and I could spend the rest of the day with more important things. After that I started counting calories and I was surprised how little food we actually need to survive, especially with a sedentary lifestyle.

There's a part of a Louie CK special in which he talks about what would happen if God came back to Earth and talked to Man about what he'd done to his creation. "Why do you need money for?" "I need money to buy food" "What do you mean buy food? Just eat the shit on the floor!" "Yeah, but it doesn't have bacon in it". And honestly we place so much importance on what the food is. It's just sustenance, eat some leaves and you'll be OK.
Everything's relative, what was your diet before you embarked on your -100# pasta dish diet? Pasta dishes chased by ice cream and snickers bars?
Perl has subtle complexity just like everything else. But it also has taint mode, which depending on the way you squint is either a great example of "security that just works", or a great example of "you must use X method to get good security".
As far as I know, 3d scanning is not a matter of just pushing a button on a device, whereas a photo can be, so the presumption ought to be that the former involves more creativity than the simplest example of the latter.
(/ (* 4000 2000) (* 1400 720))
=> 7

...huh

So here's what to remember about resolutions.

All the common resolutions these days are multiples of 360p.

720 is 2x2

1080 is 3x3

1440 is 4x4

4k is 6x6

So you can fit a grid of 3x3 720p screens into a 4k screen. 9x the pixels.

And the actual resolutions are 1280x720 and 3840x2160.
Not sure if the mods will build it (I'd say unlikely -- nothing has changed in the decade I've been here) but in the meantime, you could use a CSS browser plugin and edit the CSS yourself
The Maynard Tape Primer (2013)
Problem with Scotty is that he paints a rosy picture of all of his adventures. Unlike EEVBlog, he never criticizes Chinese manufacturing practices nor says a single thing that may offend his fan base.

This is a worrying, I’m conspiring that he won’t be welcomed in China, perhaps afraid of angering CCP gods. That may not be true but it’s hard to imagine otherwise.

Plus, he is sponsored by suppliers in China (PCBWay for e.g.). What good is content without objectivity?
At the end of the day, the client/users/etc just want it to work. They don't care about the quality of the code.
I Am Happy I Chose the Term Evangelism
> The undeniable FACT that people don't tend to check errors from close()
should, for example, mean that delayed allocation must still track disk
full conditions, for example. If your filesystem returns ENOSPC at close()
rather than at write(), you just lost error coverage for disk full cases
from 90% of all apps. It's that simple.

Most programmers abstraction of a computer system is synchronous and consistent. If you make the simple synchronous cases do the wrong thing, like write returning success on disk full when a write did not happen, you are going to break people’s code.

This also explains why when you when you choose a database, a relational DB with strong consistency and linearizability should be your default. Going for eventually consistent in the database layer and expecting the application logic to deal with it will lead to grief in many, many cases.
That sounds like a great way to develop several kinds of vitamin deficiencies (look up Wernicke’s encephalopathy—vitamin B1 deficiency and vitamin B9 and B12 deficiency). Do you supplement any kinds of vitamins with your detox?
The difference is that people do tend to check return values of write() (in cases where it actually matters), but not check the return value of malloc(). Since Linux must work with the code which exists, and since most programs tend to malloc() memory but never use it, the overcommitting practice begins to make sense. A twisted and ugly sense, but that is the world we live in.
I believe you. I also believe OP and the horrendous experience his wife is going through. I don't think your and his wife's experiences are analogous.
A proper diet helps with satiety, gut flora and the like which will have an impact on success, but ultimately losing weight is calories-in, calories-out. It's restriction. There's no way around it. You can lose weight without exercise as well. However, it's an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, just like proper nutrition, and can facilitate weight-loss.
Your application domain is probably targeting a market of 10 customers you can obscenely overcharge, like a mainframe manufacturer circa 1976. There is nothing special about The area you work in that renders it immune to economic forces, if it's worth anything to society as a whole. The directional vector of technology encompassing a wider consumer market heads towards lower cost and openness, inevitably.
you better get over there soon, the HQB markets are closing and rapidly being replaced by consumer-oriented products and massive shopping malls!

rent is high and many of the vendors are moving out to dongguan, guangzhou, or fully online.
Because, as the article explains, what happened with IT was despite economic policy not because of it.

And I think a reasonable person would make the comparison with Ukraine: Belarus didn't keep a balance, they are effectively run by Russia (iirc, Lukashenko and most of his associates are under sanction by the EU and can't travel there). Compare that to Estonia or Latvia or Lithuania...the difference should be quite obvious.

Btw, just generally: Lukashenko is not a nice guy. He is one of the more anti-semitic political leaders out there (and the competition is stiff). The human rights stuff and election rigging is also unusually bad.
Scientists are finding that aging is a discrete disease that catalyzes other secondary diseases, like cancer and dementia. They are also finding that it is highly likely that men’s cellular aging is slightly accelerated compared to women, albeit with the trade off described above. The anti-inflammatory benefits of muscle are overwhelmed by the avalanche of diseases caused by aging. If you’re 80 years old and you use drugs to stave off one disease, you’re likely to die from another disease soon thereafter. It’s like playing wack-a-mole, because we’re not addressing the primary disease: aging. That may change soon since more research is being done into aging as a disease.
If there was only one way to create a 3D model, wouldn't it be a matter of just pressing a button? Now, if it was, that wouldn't totally prove it was not creative, since 2D photography can be as simple as pressing a button. But if there are many ways (like, greater than the number of atoms in the universe) to do something, it seems logical to presume it is creative.

Also, another way to look at it is that you can derive a 3D model from many 2D photos. So does it make sense to claim you can derive something non-creative from many creative works, yet the thing it relates to is the original?
whether many would like to believe it or not, electric cars will cause job loss. Not only will it cause job loss because there are less parts to build it, but a person working on it will need to be more educated (more white collar jobs and less blue collar jobs).

The auto unions are already trying to stop the big 3 from building electric cars. It's really yet another example of why the unions only impede long term progress for short-term gains and just plain greed.
> If you force yourself to do it, you will always be unhappy and your brain won't be able to compete no matter how much you try

the problem is that people don't want the actual excellence - they want the prestige and reward for being excellent. They want the money, financial gains and status. Most people are unhappy doing what they do, but they see it as a way to achieve said status.

If you already have something you love doing, and is doing it with secure financials, you're already ahead of the game imho.
My god, I'm so sorry.

I know you say she's tried every treatment (un)known. I'm just curious, since you shared this with us... why hasn't feeding through an IV worked? [1] It obviously hasn't, I just didn't know there were situations where that wasn't an option of last resort.

Again, so sorry.

this reminds me of subspace. another game that refused to die and was maintained by players. except this happened before waaaaay before git was a thing, around 1998.

I was in a museum that said photography is forbidden because of the fragility of the objects in a particular exhibit. I thought it was weird/amusing that it had no indication (even in an icon or something) of flash photography being the problem.
Ask HN: A Fresh Set of Eyes
I'm in my mid forties and recently came across the work of Joseph Campbell. Have been pretty agnostic my whole life (and from that perch looked down on religious types) I feel like I have discovered a whole another mode of thinking about self and the world we live in. Which made me think that, as we get older and more set in our ways, it's not very often that we get to see the world around us with a fresh set of eyes. I'm curious, to those of you who have lived life a bit and found something that altered your view of the world, what was it, how was that experience?
What percentage of the users at Schwab use the premium tools, my guess is somewhere between 1-10% ? Does Schwab earn disproportionate revenue from them ? If yes, then I can see your point but as someone below points out most brokerages make money off balances carried in the brokerage accounts.
That makes Robinhood (and the likes of it ) valuable since it's more about monthly active users. My point is user base growth has been stagnant with traditional brokerages, whereas fintech upstarts are on a tear. That combined with other revenue vectors e.g. crypto trading, SIPC insured bank accounts etc. make it difficult for traditional brokerages to compete
That's at best a reason to allow over-commitment to be enabled or disabled on a per-program basis, not a reason to force it on the whole system so that it becomes outright impossible to write correct code.
You never got to the parts of the section about integration that are wrong.

Broadly: your criticism is a mathematician's nitpicking. I don't know that that really has much value to someone learning "Calculus" in a practical sense about understanding and working with functions. And frankly... I mean, the fundamental theorem of calculus is a historically important result and a relatively profound truth, but it's not that big a deal. If you really want to play the "you really need to know this important truth more deeply" game with amateurs, start with the incompleteness theorem or something.

I'm also testing now with NordVPN CLI v3.4.0-1 in a Debian 10.1.0 x64 VM with standard Gnome desktop.

I used the default settings. In particular, I didn't enable "obfuscate", which I gather uses two hops.

I'm using a crude infinite while script.[0]

And so far, I haven't come across any servers with unexpected "akamai-x-get-client-ip" for Disney.

But then, there are well over 1000 US server IPs.

So did you enable "obfuscate"? Or "CyberSec"? Or other options?

It would also help if you could share which servers showed unexpected "akamai-x-get-client-ip" for Disney.

No. End to end means that plaintext exists only at the two ends (initial sender, final receiver) of a communication.
Yeah. So many api writers aim to force clients do all the heavy lifting. The whole point of a good api is that it reduces heavy lifting. Anyone can write pass through apis that don’t do anything.
Having switched to eating once a day four days of the week with great results and no adverse effects I cant help but feel like there was a concerted misinformation campaign, to have us eat three times a day every day.
WSL is vastly different from the old-school NT subsystems. Both in the technology and in the result. And rightly so, because while SFU&co was in some way more integrated, it effectively was a separate platform from anything else, and who want to support that? Arguably the OS/2 subsystem did not have this problem because the environment/ecosystem to support was way smaller, and it was making existing binaries made for this system work. So on that last point, yes WSL is similar to the OS/2 subsystem; but it could not have been like that in SFU because Linux was not seen as a serious competitor at the time (and well, it actually was not...); and the price to pay now that co-evolution did not happen is a more segregated environment.
Financials are not public but they make money like other brokerages i.e. on the float. They also seem to have a fremium model. Add to that other products they are offering and I won't be surprised if they growing in revenue per user terms. Yes, they are likely using VC money for growth but also have long term potential for a viable model
At least in California, it is indeed apportioned at the state level.
Not in email. End-to-end here means that noone except sender and reciever can read the content. With tls and email you send it to a server which can read it, not to the enduser.
my understanding is that mms is part of data, that's how it works here in the US. RCS will also use data whenever it gets implemented.
I think the difference between "don't implement workarounds" and "use overcommit" is that the kernel can try to be clever, but userland should not have to be clever. The kernel is supposed to just make things work for userland.

I think that's why overcommit exists. It's generally not easy to re-design all userland applications to deal with difficult memory management problems in a complex system, but it is easy to just lie to them all so they can continue to do stupid things and not crash. If you have a system with only "100% correctly written" software, just disable overcommit (echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory).
Not to mention, OP's wife is completely not the norm. There's a growing majority of overweight, obese and morbidly obese people in the developed world who do not have any medical problem with absorbing food through their GI and for whom losing some fat stores would be a health boon.

It is unclear why OP associates this man's anecdote with his wife — the man of the article was not reported to lose GI function because of his fast. He was just morbidly obese, and stopped eating until he was at a relatively healthy weight.

When I got sick, I became mentally allergic to fat and sugar. I thus spent monthes eating only raw vegetables. There are so many subtleties in taste and texture you can finally 'see' when they're not coated (or drowned even) in sauces.

The pleasure you get is also different in that it doesn't create much of a crave feeling. And you rarely binge on salad or carrots.. your brain will naturally give up and say enough. When anything is sweetened you see yourself in a never ending loop.

Plus vegetables help digestion.

Anyways, raw is actually finer than it appears.
A brief search suggests that the shape of a car is copyrightable, but only to the extent that it isn't dictated by function.

That is not accurate. The efficiency of turbofans goes up as speed increases. A normal commercial high-bypass turbofan is at its most efficient around 1000 km/h, which is a speed it cannot sustain at lower altitudes due to air resistance over the blades.

Just to add, at cruise, N1, the RPMs of the outermost fan on the jet, will peak over 100 percent, but that isn't a function of fuel consumption.
