> However, less than 9% of China's population are members of the CCP. The other 91% of China's people are locked out of any form of government representation.

I wonder, of the 91% who aren’t party members, what percentage are non-members because they don’t want to join the party, versus what percentage wouldn’t be allowed to join even if they wanted to?
You don't need interpretable language for emotional impact or even narrative. Have you ever felt moved by a song in a language you don't know a word of, or a purely instrumental song? The same's true of paintings, movies without dialogue, etc.

Mumble rap is a totally legitimate art form. I just tend to not be a huge fan of most of the song structures and compositions, personally.
Counterpoint, for the last few months when someone starts a 1:1 call with me, after I answer it it keeps ringing on my phone. Also, it has a persistent habit of my phone showing an "unread messages" notice, when I'm literally sitting at my laptop and have everything read.
Having had the same rootless upbringing and these same kinds of feelings, I think the word that comes closest to describing what happened to us is dehumanization.
Yes I can sever relationships very easily, and I will never truly miss them. I might think about them, but I will never make an effort to reach out or reestablish the relationship under any circumstance.
Normal people suffer through these things and never sever. They also miss individuals who have left their life. Those are normal human feelings. We don’t have them. We can’t fake them. It’s tragic.
Section 11 perfectly describes working in any sufficiently large organization. There are always a handful of people that seem to wield these techniques with great skill.
Thanks! I hadn't heard of zmv before, and it fits my use case perfectly.
Agreed. Unpopular opinion: few things are as detrimental to one's success as seeking comfort. Success is built on sweat, blood and tears.
Sure. Here's one on a potential free trade agreement between the US and Malaysia[1] (which is another TPP nation) that calculates direct changes:

As shown, following a free trade, the Malaysia’s export to the USA would increase by USD 30984 million or 7 percent and the US export to Malaysia would increase by USD 16051 million(22 percent). The substantial increase in the volume of export between two countries is due to removal of trade barriers. The higher increase in the US export to Malaysia relative to the Malaysia export to the US is because Malaysia currently has a higher tariff than the US.

Worth noting that it's absolutely unclear if it would have worked, but how TPP was supposed to be a China containment strategy is clear (which was your original question).

If you’re going to spend $50,000 on a computer, you can probably hire two security guards / off duty cops for an hour each at $250 an hour?
That makes sense, and I can imagine that.

However, should it not be possible for the software to find a minimal cover for the formatting that would produce the same visual output, thereby practically recovering what hard-crafted markup would have been?

Thanks.

Just throwing the term "conspiracy theorist" around doesn't lend your comment any weight or value. The article is mostly a summary of a DNC lawyer's own arguments that the DNC is not obligated to conduct a fair or transparent primary election to select the Democratic nominee. It's their perspective, not a "conspiracy theory."
Pay up, Tim!
Fair enough, I would do it as long as I can still find employee, in other words as long as I can get away with it.

Likewise, for Apple if their action is not costly enough, they will continue doing it.
Funny you should mention that, since Backtrack is where Kali came from.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BackTrack

> BackTrack was a Linux distribution that focused on security, based on the Knoppix Linux distribution aimed at digital forensics and penetration testing use.[4] In March 2013, the Offensive Security team rebuilt BackTrack around the Debian distribution and released it under the name Kali Linux.[5]
"No, I'm never going to leave Hewlett-Packard. It's my job for life. It's the best company because it's so good to engineers...Engineers—bottom of the org chart people—could come up with the ideas that would be the next hot products for the company."

I love Woz, but this strikes me as being a quite naive thing to say. Engineers weren't "bottom of the org chart." They are the lifesblood of a company like HP. HP is nothing without engineers. So the idea that they were nice to engineers - well, it was in the same way that other companies are "nice to engineers," totally self-serving in a mutually beneficial way.
Yeah, this ruling makes sense. They should be on the clock until they are allowed to walk out of the store.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Also, sharing your data with who?
This reminds me of when I worked at a casino. I had to sign in my keys at the end of the night. My supervisor had the lock box keys and they got those keys from a Security officer. The supervisor was usually in the poker pit and couldn't leave. Other supervisors would be standing around talking about football and ignore me. I just stood there and waited making overtime while talking to the girls at the bar. The manger was so inept she couldn't get her staff to find five minutes to sign me out.

Some business seem to see your time at work as being your normal state of being and your own personal time as "unwork". I go to work for eight hours for the money trading my time for your money. The other 75% of my time is mine it's not unworking it's normal personal life.
Seems like this is more of an uncomfortable vendetta backed by preference instead of any examples, logic, or facts.
It would be the world's largest ever game of Pong.
So you would do the same?
In Firefox, under about:config, disable `media.peerconnection.enabled`. You should consider doing that anyway if you're worried about IP leaks because in some cases peer connections can unmask your IP address behind a VPN.

I'm in the midst of switching my hosting off of Youtube and on to Peertube. I don't run Google analytics or any ads on my sites, I make sure that most of my stuff can work without Javascript. I'm even looking into dropping Cloudflare so I can get rid of their remaining cookie. I believe that people have a fundamental, unalienable right to hide their identities online[0]. Because of that, my perspective on Peertube is... complicated. I don't dismiss the concern about peer-to-peer privacy, I think it's a real issue. However, I think those (valid) concerns are outweighed by the following:

A) PeerTube is still probably better for user's privacy than Youtube, and Peertube is a more feasible alternative to Youtube than anything else I've seen.

B) Using a VPN and flipping a few simple config options gets around the issue, which, as I'll get to below, you should be doing anyway.

C) Forcing people to care about their IP addresses in general is probably a good thing. People are generally dismissive of the fact that they leak their IP addresses to every site they visit, and that some of those sites will then leak their IP addresses to the general public[1]. If Peertube gets people to care about that, then maybe it's a good thing?

D) Peer-to-peer networking has really big benefits for bandwidth and reliability, and is going to be a core asset in getting decentralized technology to compete with centralized alternatives. I'm not willing to give that technology up, even if it has privacy implications. My perspective is we just have to deal with it, and preferably we have to deal with it in a generic way that can be easily applied on top of services like Peertube. I lean towards the opinion that forcing the issue is, again, probably a good thing in the long term.

I want to cycle back around to point C. If you're really worried about these IP leaks, I'm not going to say you're wrong. I think that's a valid concern. However, I will say that if you're really worried about these IP leaks, and you're not worried about regular web browsing without a VPN/Tor, then you probably don't have a complete grasp on the total scope of the problem. If you're already taking reasonable steps to protect your IP (as far as I know) Peertube won't be exposing you to any additional risks.

That's exactly what I mean by math-oriented- it's good for people who understand things in terms of equations. If that's all you need to be comfortable, it's great and you can very quickly find what you want to know. That's what makes it good as a reference handbook.
Ooh, analogies. Try this one on for size: "no, you're not allowed to take seat belts away from economy passengers."

This shit is baseline. And if it continues to not be, it's time to get legislators involved. Because that's what we all want, I'm sure.
Ironically, this is an attempt by the Trump administration to steal IP from China. US firms are behind in 5G because they have sat on the sidelines while Huawei engineered the chipsets.

It's tremendously ironic that these charges will likely allow US firms to steal money and/or IP from Huawei through what is for all intents and purposes the Trump administration's fiat.

Worse yet, as has been the pattern with the Trump administration so far, many aspects of the economy that were relatively stable and allowed planning and investment have been destroyed, like when a child throws a tantrum and upsets a board game sending the pieces onto the floor. Many international agreements, standards, and trade and diplomatic relationships have been set back decades by the administration.

Note that the major claims have all been false so far:

- The daughter (a journalist) of the Huawei CEO was harrassed and detained without cause, in what was essentially a kidnapping for ransom/extortion. How did the American people not feel outrage when Trump did this?

- There have been repeated accusations of backdoors into 5G hardware, but yet no example of a device that has been hacked by the US or any private sector researchers.

- US officials have (quite inappropriately) tried to foment xenophobia and hatred of Chinese immigrants in the US. This combined with Trump's xenophobic comments show the US's hand quite clearly. China is now a rival and no dirty tactics are off limits.

As an American, I am so deeply embarrassed by all of this.
I can't wait for AI to recreate the unique sound of Her's, an incredibly remarkable duo from Liverpool which I just recently came across... only to find out a few days later that they died in a tragic, unfathomable, unfair car accident along with their tour manager after a concert in the US last year.

So will they be forced to pay backpay to all the employees Apple stole from up to this point? It's unclear if retroactively enforced means backpay, but it should.
I would not but I would not surprise if some people do. Thats why there is severe punishment for grinding baby.
I didn't just throw the term conspiracy theory around. Pretending that the DNC's lawyers explaining the fact that the DNC can just choose its candidate in backroom dealings is equivalent to admitting that the DNC actually did choose its candidate in that manner and then manipulated election counts as the article and its commenters claim is full-blown conspiracy theory.

Likewise, insinuating that the DNC rigged the Iowa caucus in some way merely because it drew up the contract for the voting app is also conspiracy theory. You can simply look at the contract and verify that they did not ask for rigging or the ability to change the app, only the ability to test the app and access its logs.

Tldr:

After the 2016 primaries, Sanders supporters filed a class action lawsuit against the DNC for conspiring to give the nomination to Clinton, effectively, they claimed, defrauding Sanders campaign donors. The DNC's official response in court was "So? We had no obligation to not do that. And even if we did, you knew we were doing it so you can't claim that you weren't forewarned." The court agreed with that assessment, and the case was dismissed.
Good lord. Why fight this? This is the obvious right thing to do. If it amounts to significant impact on costs, then they have failed to run their store’s operations well. Sheesh.
This is blatantly just marketing for their tool, it's not just "kinda sneaky". Tired of seeing stuff like this get upvoted.
In the minds of the corporate workers that came up with the Apple Store Brand Story, every Apple Store employee is your best friend and will jump at the opportunity to assist you, Apple's most loyal customer, with anything you need. So of course they're not going to make you wait in line like the PC Guy from those ads from 10 years ago would; they will be waiting for you when you walk in, just like Hachikō waited each night for his owner at Shibuya station. For nine years after he died.

Over in the real world, the employees have spent 10 hours of their 12 hour shift explaining to the world's least-technically-adept people how to activate their Verizon service with 4 prepaid debit cards and a ripped $20 bill. Sixty times. While being yelled at. So... they might accidentally not notice you if you just come in and don't aggressively try to attract their attention. I do not blame them.

This also says they search their personal iPhones. What exactly are they searching for that someone could steal?

Do they just mean checking serial# or something to make sure someone didn't swap their phone for a new phone?

Or are they actually searching/examining the contents of the phone?

The whole notion of employing off duty police as security is antithetical to the proper administration of justice and highlights systematic malaise.

As well as the fear of robbery for such a low value and traceable item.

Edit because I can't reply:

Just off duty police. Police have significant powers, even off duty. In addition, if you pay them well they might do favors for you when on duty. Like looking for someone in the police databases, telling you about police operations etc.

There are many security guards who are not people who failed to become police. Some are ex police, ex Army etc, but there are limited situations when an armed response is rational, and a $50k Mac is not one of them. An insurance policy is much cheaper.

Having said that, I recommend Samoans (wide) and Sudanese (tall) for unarmed intimidation potential.
Hmmm, perhaps you don't even need uprooting: I spent many formative years in an American-run school overseas, which had high student turnover, perhaps in the realm of 10-30% per year.

I work at Microsoft for Startups.

We are focused on B2B companies (for now) because those are the companies we can best support.

Microsoft has a vast partner network, enterprise field sales team, and marketplace, where mostly B2B customers interact.

We decided to leverage that network for startups in order to push sales their way (hence the $1BN in sales pipeline we are pushing in 2020 to startups), in addition to the other technology benefits (Azure, Dynamics, Office 365, Power Platform, Github, etc).

Eventually we will come up with a focused solution for B2C businesses, but for now, we realize our limitations and are focused on where we can best be helpful!
