> But, would our reaction be still the same if Guardian's headline said China or Russia did this? Probably not. Perhaps we would even talk about putting new sanctions.

Nope. There are about a billion other reasons both should be sanctioned to the point of embargo, but this isn't one. Nations have been fighting each other for resources for months now. That's to be expected in a high-demand, low-supply environment where each wants to save as many of her citizens as possible, and I wouldn't blame China or Russia for taking similar actions. For instance, I don't really blame China for having restricted exports of PPE because of greater need at home. I'd rather America get her hands on more stuff, but I'd expect any competent government to act in the interests of her citizens and so can't fault China (at least, not for this).

> I think the right move would be allowing other companies to produce enough of it. If that means financially supporting Gilead, let's do that. Then nobody has to take all the stockpile.

This is definitely a good approach, but this drug is pretty hard to make, so I'm not sure another company could just start making it easily [0]. However, Gilead has already been working with partner companies to ramp up production [1], which will allow them to benefit from all the work Gilead has put in to figuring out how to produce it at scale.

I'd say infinite scroll is considered to be an anti-pattern by many. It means your page can't have a footer, it means your analytics are weird (now you need to worry about scroll depth instead of just page loads). Not to mention that most implementations are buggy, mess up the scrollbar, etc.

I think the key issues are primarily related to race.

Many see these systems as a way to implement stop-and-frisk (quite racist outcomes) and worse across the country using AI/ML as cover. The higher error rate amongst darker skin people gives LE a new excuse to harass innocent historically disenfranchised people.

I expect this tech will be widely used long before the accuracy problem that affects ~60% of the global population is fixed.

Probably the pickiest comment i ever received
perceived lack of control.
All solid advice. This is a nice checklist of things to remember if you have been through it before. However, I don't think the target audience of "knows how to code, but not how to build a product" will be able to do much with this individual article. Any one of this points can spiral into days, weeks, or months of learning and experimentation. Even how to set an environment variable can be a difficult task for a new developer that doesn't have a good concept on what the shell is beyond that they type magic commands into it from stackoverflow.

I really think more established apprenticeships would be good for the software industry. This is a list of things that you only learn if you have been through launching a product, and it takes a few years of experience to have a chance to both do it and have time to digest and understand it.

Also almost 30 points on a business advice article with no comments, smells a bit fishy.

Eastern bloc country. Grandfather tortured for being a priest after his house got confiscated and family ran out of town. My other grandfather had a similar experience but got his house back eventually. Constant persecution. Fear of anyone who was not family because they could be spies for the state. Food rationing. 6 day workweek. Bribe doctors so you don't die on the operating table and everyone else too. Can't read in public. Tons of censorship. I was very young and my family was doing well, the communist equivalent of middle class. Others had it much worse. Being a child I was shielded from a lot but children are not stupid. Imagine having murderous hate for your president at seven, eight years old. Education was quite good though, but I missed most of that. Highly doubt China much different in many respects from my visit there.

I supposed they might have changed it, which would be good to hear, since that wording is obviously misguided
Hertz Fooled Amateur Investors–Don't Be One of Them
> China isn't going to restrict the movement of hundreds of thousands of foreigners legally living in HK.

At least, they are less likely to do so than they are people who aren’t foreigners, although even them I wouldn’t want to bet my life on it.

China ending the two-systems arrangement in Hong Kong despite the Joint Declaration is basically saying “As far as HK (and, implicitly, anything we consider Chinese territory) is concerned, we aren't concerned about what other countries think, or international law or agreements, only power.”
My scheduled physical at a medical center was last week. It was different to say the least.

I was met in the lobby by 6 nurses and guards, told precisely where to stand and to answer 10 questions which were shouted to me by a frightened nurse. She moved forward, pointed a temperature gun at my forehead and then jumped back. It was as if I were about to be arrested; very unsettling.

Once "approved" an orange sticker was put on my shoulder and I was permitted to proceed to the hallway elevators. Once inside I began to notice discarded orange stickers at random in the building.

During my visit I asked my physician about all this. He said no one with covid symptoms is allowed in the bldg. Instead they're handled by tele-medicine and/or directed to a hospital or ER. He has seen NO covid patients at all, nor had his starr. Here was a medical doctor in the middle of a pandemic who had never seen a covid-19 patient: the irony of the situation apparently had long since escaped him.

Anyway, a medical center may be one of the safest places to go right now since a sick person, especially a covid-sick person, is unlikely to get past the guards! So likely covid will eventually enter these medical centers via the staff, cleaning workers (who can't afford to not work), someone fixing the windows, or suppliers, &c.

Unless you have covid I recommend you relax, go see your doctor and enjoy the theater of entering a locked-down secure and armed medical facility. Leave your handgun in your car or they might shoot you (seriously). Any quick move I made was immediately attended by multiple guards startling. Way, way too much caffeine and imagination is fueling these places!

And FWIW my cholesterol is really looking good!8-))

Aside: for a month I've been asking everyone 2 questions:

- do you know anyone who has/had covid?

- has anyone you know ever spoken of someone they know who has covid?

Results: only one person said "yes" to either question: he knew some workmen who had it: They worked through it b/c they'd lose their jobs otherwise.

So it appears covid is really, really rare, on the order of unicorns rare. I can see why some people believe the pandemic is a giant hoax.

I'm currently in the job hunt and also starting to question why I got a degree. I definitely learned some useful stuff but no one cares. Instead of 4 years on a degree I could have spent 1 year learning on my own. I wouldn't be as well prepared but everyone is looking for shallow signals anyway.

Spending a few weeks following a tutorial to build some crappy web app will look more impressive to a recruiter than spending a few years going through grueling coursework.

It's not hard to build that crappy web app but it's just weird how it matters more.

I guess being able to showcase what you can do matters a lot more than what you can actually do.
FAANG will usually happily hire you if you had one bad on-site interview, but the rest were good.
Unfortunately its those people who think criticising government policies are antinational are being convinced by government by banning of Chinese apps, meanwhile Chinese troops have captured Indian territory, written China in mandarin all over for satellites to see and butchered Indian soldiers.

This was coming, very same people voted this party to power for supposedly bombing Balakot and killing terrorists when satellite pictures showed clearly that IAF missed the targets because PM asked them to bomb during cloudy weather. At least then this government only made IAF a laughing stock, but now its started belittling soldier deaths on Chinese hands.
That might not be as low minded as lure in people hoping they'll forget but this things should be "Your trial is ending soon, so, ya know you should renew otherwise it ends" . That is the customer friendly way to do it. Any other way is duplicitous and ugly minded.

Pinterest does a lot of SEO stuff that is interesting.

For one of my boards that ranks #1 in Google I've found that the page Google indexes is quite a bit different than the one I see as a logged-in user.

One of the differences is that they display the text content associated with the pin. This is also used as the image alt text, but then appended with a bunch of keywords.

They also link to other people's boards which have names related to the images so it looks like "tags", but I have the feeling it is probably a mix of keyword stuffing/linking to other content for Google to follow.

The page title is also adjusted to include something like, "237 Best ________ images in 2020" followed by the board name.
That's a great connection. If it's that simple (and explained by human evolution), that would be awesome.

That era ended long before the Communists took power. Which they did by allowing the KMT to deplete their resources by fighting the Japanese first. They contributed surprising little in the war effort.

Now, can we get back on the subject of how the CCP is treating dissidents (and neighbouring countries)?

This is interesting, were you the captain for many of those years? I could totally understand a crew member being antisocial, but it seems like the crew would resent a leader who acted this aloof even if they were doing it for the reasons you mention. It just seems very different than the usual distance that hierarchy creates.

I've only done a few casual sailing trips where everyone got nude as soon as we were out of sight of land and it was so cramped you'd have to be a contortionist not to touch anyone. A tanker ship or something would be vastly different, but it still seems like there would be plenty of situations, e,g, rough weather, where you need you need to be willing to touch other people. I doubt you'd get on a crab fishing vessel if other crew members refused to touch you.

Be very careful with two wheel recumbents, I've got half an Ikea's worth of steel bits in my right leg on account of one. The danger is in when your foot slips off the pedal even for a moment and hits the pavement on the downstroke, you'll brake with just that one foot and it is a feed-forward mechanism that you can not break out of. Nasty, to put it mildly. If I had foreseen that particular failure mode I'd have either foregone the bike entirely or I would have placed something underneath the cranks to catch my feet should I ever go there. The lower the bike the higher the risk of this happening.
