> It's obvious from the past few months just how deeply reliant western supply chains are on China.

It's not just the West, but the world in general. Everyone should cut economic ties with them, that's the least we should do. At an individual level, we should boycott Chinese products as much as we can. There are efforts like https://www.reddit.com/r/avoidchineseproducts/, which are a start, but we need more stringent measures.

It's also obvious as another poster in this thread mentioned, the pro-Chinese propaganda being pushed on forums like this one. Any sentiment or comments that raises awareness against Chinese crimes and barbarism gets down voted. This should be a wakeup call, they're infiltrating everything.

> Please don't assume that Democrats ever consider the best interests of "black neighborhoods". There's very little evidence that's the case.

That's kind of my point. The black vote has gone disproportionately to Democrats for many years and what they get for it is not the change they're promised even when their party controls the government, it's lip service and rage propaganda like "police murders" which can't possibly be the most significant problem faced by black families, because it gets them to go out and vote for the same party again even as they don't fix the real problems -- because if they fixed the real problems they couldn't run on it again next time.

Why are cities burning over "police murders" and not the War on Drugs or school choice? Why are we de-funding the police and not de-funding the zoning board? A cynic could answer.

> The most they can really claim is that they are often less overt in their racism than the other face of the status quo party.

I think this is a trope. Democrats are desperate to paint Republicans as racists because they're so reliant on the black vote. Then we get many stories about "dog whistles" and comments taken out of context and maximally uncharitable interpretations of any linguistic ambiguity, meanwhile the biggest actual reason Republicans don't much court black people is that they don't vote for them regardless, because Democrats will spend all day telling everyone they're nothing but racists no matter what they do.

Republican President signs criminal justice reform into law and then a cop commits murder in a city controlled by Democrats and it's the Republicans who are down in the polls.
I am probably the archetype of the straw man you invented in your comment regarding people saying the virus is not dangerous. Let me make a few things clear to you and the others who see this as a binary proposition.

This virus is _very_ dangerous to specific groups of people. We know this not only through observation but also through a more complete understanding on its spread, mechanism of action and cross-reactivity. We also know, with a good deal of certainty, that there are also groups who are at a very, very low level of risk from this virus.

What the people you so easily disparage are arguing is not that the virus is not dangerous, but that we are not responding to the actual threat, but rather the perceived threat based on data that is now 5 months old. And that by making this mistake, we are increasing danger to not only those at risk to the virus but also those who are at low risk through our obtuse response.

There are facts which can't be denied. The IFR is NOT anywhere near as high as we once feared. This is good news! We have two treatments that seem to help. This is good news! We understand that a majority of those infected will exhibit minor or no symptoms. This is good news! But we are still _acting_ as if this has a 2% IFR and no treatment.

We have less certainty, but are still researching the following. There is evidence that cross-reactivity in T-Cells with other coronaviruses is helping reduce the impact on a large portion of the population. We see evidence that _something_ has changed in the virus in the past 6 months. Genome sequencing hasn't revealed if this is true or not, but the research is ongoing. We see that outdoor spread is very unlikely. We believe nosocomial spread is a primary means. We see that super-spreaders may account for more of the spread than asymptomatic incidental contact. We have contradicting evidence of lockdown efficacy. And most importantly, we have not seen a TRUE 2nd wave. What is going on in the USA is not a 2nd wave at the community level, no community that had a large first wave is currently seeing a second wave.

Finally, there is debate around whether the herd immunity level is far lower than once thought. Michael Levitt and others are postulating that around 20-25% of the population needs to be infected to see a sharp decline in infections. This has played out in a lot of continental Europe, NYC and the UK.

So it isn't as simple as your snide sarcasm would have us believe. This is why actual debate is needed, not dismissive arrogance as displayed by your comments.
Interesting, would love to see some argument graphs included in this. Too often debates don't work because nobody is attacking the arguments, but just some stuff around them, anecdotes, insults, etc.

I would love to see some formalization of attacking an axiom vs attack what follows from that axiom. If you formalize arguments, users could pick if they disagree with the conjecture or what follows from it.

And in the end you could nicely display the entire argument as a graph showing who doesn't agree with what, what gets canceled out by what etc.

There's no general rule about what length a commit message should be, except that often people try to keep the first paragraph as a single short line for better readability in systems like GitHub and the git CLI.

When additional detail is helpful about the motivation for or gotchas related to a commit, starting a new paragraph and elaborating there is totally fine.

But I agree with you, they aren't mutually exclusive to inline documentation. The inline documentation is more important when the explanation is relevant to understanding the code which results from the commit, whereas a clear commit message is more important when the information is to illuminate the reasons for (or history surrounding) the change itself.

> I allow Apple to use Siri requests for improving it. It is because they do this as respectfully as possible without deceiving the user.

Let's not forget that despite Apple's otherwise good privacy record, Siri was saving your recordings to be listened to and reviewed by 3rd party contractors without giving you any opportunity to opt out. It was only late last year after their competitors were called out for the same issues that Apple provided an opt-out option.

And given how proactive they were with privacy warnings about donating voicemail transcriptions to improve voicemail accuracy, it was pretty reasonable to think "Surely if they were saving the Siri input recordings and letting people listen to them, they would have warned me about that and asked me if it's OK."

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/28/ios-13point2-has-new-siri-pr...

It's possible they still had better privacy protections in place for handling the recordings once they have them on their servers(compared to Amazon and others), but even the contents of voice recordings can be enough to de-anonymize them depending on what you've said.
You seem to be making a lot of arguments about science and how things have to happen without citing any papers or evidence.

This is not surprising though, is it ?

Britain's "benign civilizing" (schools in anglo-saxon nations have no shame) policies vis-a-vis India were severely skewed against India, and towards protecting her own fledgling industries.

I once tried having a conversation with a girl from Beijing, while in Canada, about political freedom. She told me that China is "too big" for democracy or federalism, and that they wouldn't be able to "control" the people.

I think the cultural valley is deeper and wider than you could imagine; at least when it comes to the wealthier people who get to travel for school.

Then beyond that, there is Chinese exceptionalism, far more fervent and irrational than any common form of American exceptionalism, and good old cynical greed (or the equally-pernicious, but less cruel, wishful thinking).

Since alcohol is a suppressants, I think in low doses it calms down some parts of the brain that are normally hyperactive, and lets other parts take over.

I personally code better after a beer/cocktail late at night.... maybe two, but not more. It seems that alcohol helps my brain to concentrate at night only. For some reason never during the day. It kinda ruins my productive day if I have any during the day (during lunch/brunch, for example).

It seems the comments about iraq, yemen, afghanistan them have been downvoted / flagged. I guess this one too. There's a documentary on netflix showing the 13th amendment's relation to the labor camps, shocking to say the least.

I don't think there is anything new in the article. It's the standard rhetoric used by UK/US media. Also notice the conspicuous absence of Saudis, they too are involved in messy labor practices. Oddly enough not a single of these pointless articles will mention that its another country in some sense - Turkestan ... because if thats the context of the debate then US will have to give up puerto rico, california and indian territories and UK ireland and France guiana and so on .... Here's the irony of the whole situation, from their standpoint the chinese too are liberating the places from feudalism and they have made some progress in the regions as opposed to the reckless military interventions of other nations.

The fact of the matter is literally none of the allied powers cared for the genocides in WWII, they even welcomed it. The POWs were also completely ignored post war which is one of the unspoken tragedies. In democratically elected nations it seems the only way to go to war is to paint the other side as a dictator go to war with it. The lies are just tiring at this point.
If urban streets and street regulations were be modified to keep speeds under 30 km/h at all times and remove most of the SUV-type vehicles, small cars with less safety gear could be practical and safe for urban driving.

Unfortunately the size/speed arms race in cars has left streets extremely dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists, and anyone who isn’t driving something weighing 1500+ kg.

Perhaps if vehicle manufacturers/vendors were made partially liable for anyone injured in collisions involving their vehicles it would provide some pressure in the right direction.

Latin america and even india are proofs that "pure" protectionism does not work. Even China is an example of free trade working. China opened up massively, reduced customs, reduced costs of doing business etc for 3 decades before moving towards more restrictive and more protectionist policies. After learning as much as possible from foreign corporations that flocked to China. Even now, free trade would be much more beneficial to china economically if it wasn't for the current geopolitical situation. Of course it was very far from a totally deregulated free market, but the Chinese government craved foreign investment for most of the 1990s-2000s and did everything to attract it. India on the other hand has a very bad reputation when it comes to international investment because of it's famously poor economic (and protectionist/populist) policies that made investment very risky.

It's very hard for a country like India or Argentina to actually innovate when they restrict themselves to a local pool of knowledge, talent, and experience. And that's precisely why India has lagged far, far behind China even if they were ahead in the 1970s-80s. You don't want to reinvent everything all the time, it just isn't possible without lagging far behind and that's what happens with protectionism.You will almost always end up with a low skilled economy with basic economic output (like beverages or commodities).

It's easy to totally replace coca cola with local alternatives, it's impossible to do for sectors like semiconductors or finance when you have to start from almost 0 because no one wants to invest in a protectionist economy.

The GDPR explicitly allows for the processing of personal information without consent in the event that such processing is required for ensuring network security and availability, see [1], [2] and [3] for more reading on this. Note that I am not a lawyer, and you should consult a lawyer (as we did) to ensure that all policies fall within GDPR laws.

That is precisely what the logged IP addresses are used for (an example: nginx access logs), and is one of the reasons why we would much rather use a random number generated by the client machine than an IP address; because the bits themselves have no meaning, unlike IP addresses.

Really, this shouldn't be a surprise.

Epidemiologists note that successful viruses don't kill their host. Covid-19 has all the hallmarks of a virus that will evolve into a strain (or strains) that will be part of the regular flu season - marked by severe symptoms. Of course the elderly and immunocompromised people will always be at greater risk of death due to any form of the flu.

When hospitals and first responders began using PPE to handle all virus patients it isolated the most lethal strains of the virus and significantly reduced the spread in the general population.

In addition, critical care units now have the ventilators and protocols needed to more effectively deal with the virus.
