This is a facetious reply, but I don't think the government's punishment of free speech violations would have to be totalitarian to be highly concerning.

Likewise, I think allowing a handful of tech employees and billionaires to control what is and is not free speech -- without any democratic control or regulation -- is also highly concerning.

It blows my mind that the so-called left is advocating for the right of private, global, monopolistic corporations to act with impunity.
I wonder how those rear wheels handle corners. I'm a little surprised they didn't use two independent drive motors, versus a single motor and solid axle, which could be extended to implement an electronic differential.

I turned off Google Assistant for this reason. I say "ok cool" often enough that it became a source of frustration.
Not the person you’re replying to, but I know a number of people with this sentiment. They’re all former residents of the Soviet Union and were able to get out as refugees to the US when it collapsed.

> Perhaps the trust is when the information agrees with their already present biases and preconceptions, but the trust is there.

I believe that's spot on, and it's essentially the same with newspapers and TV, at the very least today. 30 years ago, there was only one truth, and it was spread via mass media. Now, there are competing narratives, both in mass media and on the Internet, and everybody picks and chooses what fits into their understanding of the world.

> Net effect: No change to the nature of speech, just to the places they happen.

And the degree to which you can observe and influence what is said. If you force people to adopt secure communication en masse, you lose a lot of possibilities. I don't know how much this is a concern for governments, but I don't think that they will be able to win the crypto wars, so pushing people into secure comms by overreaching today means they will have a much harder time tomorrow. But maybe they won't be in charge tomorrow, so it's not really their problem.
Well they stopped going against reservation and started demanding some percentage for themselves.. peak social justice /s

That doesn't really help. Even Modi's so called "10% reservation for general merit" scheme is a cheap votebank trick. With income limits as high as 8 Lakh, it is just like taking 9.9% and giving 10%.

I have some ideas about making social media decentralized while keeping global search possible. They need practical testing though, which is something I haven't gotten around to yet.

> I believe in Russia, where people don't feel safe voicing their opinions publicly on centralized social media, ad hoc social networks have appeared on safe chat platforms like Telegram to take their place.

I'm Russian. Today is the last day of 7-day voting for the very controversial constitution amendments that would grant Putin two additional 6-year terms, among other things. My both VK and Twitter feeds are chock-full of posts about this. People are posting about how asinine these amendments are. People are posting about incessant violations in the voting process itself. People are posting pictures of their ballots. The feeling that people are afraid to publicly voice their opinions is certainly not there.
> Why not let the two people getting married make the decision if they want to merge the two cultures?

They absolutely can. Nothing in Indian law stops them from doing it.

> That is absolutely batshit insane.

It absolutely is. Now the point is, what stops your cousin from getting married to the boy she likes? The boy can always move out of the home if his mother is unhappy with it. Ultimately it comes down to preferences. Nothing to do with law. Law is quite clear in this that you can marry anyone as long as you have attained legal age.

Also, are you telling me that such preferences don't exist in America? I am sure you have a mother somewhere in the US right now being pissed with her son for choosing a girl she doesn't like. She might not like the girls face, her family, her status, her location or whatever it might be. This is something that is prevalent everywhere. It is not specific to India alone. Just the excuse for opposing is different. That is about it really. If I want to find an excuse to not like someone I can make up a 100 of them. Nothing stops me.
Arranged-marriages based on caste are also not good for the nation because it perpetuates the idea that 'your culture' is somehow superior than to the rest of the nation.
True.

IMO assimilation isn't a bad thing, rather an indicator of a culture they bring with them which is accustomed to concepts of citizenry (or even more evolved) and the state (confucianism?).
It would have been enabling self determination of a population. Nope, it would be to hurt China. If UK truly value this so much, then why they didn't make it a big deal about the 2017 Catalan independence referendum[1]?

From what I understand it would not get certified today if it were introduced as a new airplane completely unrelated to any others, for a variety of obscure reasons.

However if the original 737 in the 60s had the design of the MAX, its pilots would be taught how to fly it without any MCAS software and it would fly just fine.

If you compare the UK to places that didn't lock down and have had very few deaths you can conclude the opposite. That's why you shouldn't cherry pick your data points.

Many people created models of the spread of Covid. Some of these models worked very well and others were terribly inaccurate. We should use the models that work and not those that have lost all credibility.
Their two systems one county deal with China is being taken away, which effects not only Hong Kong people, but British honor.

Because the US has an incredibly restrictive immigration policy towards most of the world, most countries retaliate by having an incredibly restrictive immigration policy against americans.
I would be thinking about changing my name.
I’m curious when that is going to roll out; at WWDC it didn’t seem to look like anyone knew how it worked. Probably because it was a new change?
We are as keen as anyone - see the nuclear power plant projects and 5G.

Still, is it just a coincidence that Xi accelerated his plans shortly after Brexit? Between that and Trump, we are effectively isolated and fundamentally vulnerable to this sort of power play.

Yep. Trust is everything. Boeing is already on thin ice.

Just imagine, there is one more crash related to this, and what the fall out would be. Boeing as a company would be toast.

That's the risk Boeing is dealing with on hand.

And it won't be just Boeing's problem, it will also be airlines' problems for not taking firmer stance.

I feel you, man. Thanks for the info about the web version, BTW. For my taste even the mobile versions of OF aren't a real thing and are acceptable only on-the-go, even the iPad one isn't rich enough. But the desktop app for OSX... That's a beast (the one I can't have, since I don't use Macs anymore).

Plus I see that the web version has no persistent offline storage / mode. That isn't going to work for me. So, not only lack of features might be a problem.

> the aircraft will tend past a certain angle of attack to start nosing into a stall, rather than away from one.

Virtually all aircraft will do that, including the original 737. Different aircraft do this at different points; provided the pilot is trained for the aircraft, it's not a fundamental problem.

The problem for the MAX is they wanted pilots to be able to treat it like an airplane it wasn't.
Being at a company where most people do not use Vim definitely has caused a great deal of consternation and discussion about why I use Vim, and why I don't use a "real" IDE.

It becomes a hot topic of discussion without my wanting or really worrying about what other people are using.

I think the comparison to Veganism is a good one--- people think it's a flex, when in reality I just like it and it helps me get my work done.
>Remdesivir has a minor beneficial impact when delivered VERY EARLY.

There's still a couple of problems though:

* It has to be delivered by IV drip

* It's in short supply

* It's expensive

Which means that realistically, the only way to get a positive impact from it would be to send high-risk patients who were very likely to have just been exposed to the hospital for the injection. Even then, the risk-value proposition does not seem that great.
For Google devices, in the Home app under Device settings → Accessibility, set ‘Start sound on, end sound on’. Then you know exactly when it's active.

This is a GO masquerading as an NGO. A caveat lector is appropriate whenever someone brings them up.
I think that just means that users expected nothing to happen very quickly. You push a button, and would instantly get a beach ball, so you could get up and go elsewhere while you waited to see if this time it would actually work.

I'm all for fixing the million annoyances in modern UX. The Web was built by something even worse than a committee -- it was built by a thousand committees. But let's not have rose-colored glasses, either. Computers in 1983 and 1998 were immensely frustrating, and some of what makes computers slow today is also what makes them better than the half-baked, hard-to-use, fifty-pound monstrosities of the past. We can and should do better in the future, but not if we mis-remember the past.
"Growth hack" is an industry euphemism for "unethical practice." You can tell it doesn't literally mean "growth hack" because it's being applied here to the website that Alexa currently ranks #152 worldwide and the typical excuses about how you need to get a little dirty when you're a tiny business just getting started don't remotely hold water.
> at universities such as Princeton or Stanford the title "Dr." is reserved for medical doctors.

At Stanford at least, this (admirable) attitude is more common in the med school and biological sciences where the ambiguity is common than In other departments, especially where you might not know the person.

In the scheme of things this is not a big deal.
The claim that Turkey was soon going to join the EU (which isn't going to happen) and flood the country with Turkish immigrants was a major component of vote leave messaging: "Turkey/NHS/£350 million".

They may be disappointed when they discover the rules aren't made in Brussels because the UK joined the EU, but because it's the UK's largest trading partner and the largest trade bloc in the world.

Brexit will simply make their position worse.
would you say the cultural difference was equally massive 20 years ago, when turkey was much more aligned towards an EU future? I don't think so much has changed in turkey culturally, but a lot has changed politically
The parent comment compared the US to HK, so did I.

Now I just focus on NYPD: NYPD charged an officer for using a chokehold. [1]

No officer was charged in HK after the year long protests for their misconducts and brutality.

Side note: Numerous HK protesters were also victims of sexual harassment or sexual violence during arrest or detention. A 19-year-old girl was gangraped by police officers in a police station and got pregnant, and the police threatened to arrest her for “making false statements”. She defended her claims and had to flee to Taiwan. [2][3]

Any similar incident in NYC?

Hong Kong was a corrupt state long before China took over.
That's a separate issue though. That China had the military might to take HK doesn't mean they were the legitimate government to have HK returned to.

It's not stealing from China to not give them something taken from someone else.
You mean rich migrants I guess.
I'm super curious to see how this will turn out for the UK. A lot of the comments here mention HK's relative high education, English proficiency and wealth.

If those are true: the upside will be easier settlement into the UK, maybe increased entrepreneurship. The downsides are: driving up local housing prices, increased competition for jobs.

If those are false, the UK may experience an influx of lower-wage labor and increased competition for blue-collar jobs. Possibly even increased crime (maybe Triads would move to the UK?)

I have a feeling anti-Asian/Chinese racism would spike in the UK. It has popular bipartisan support right now (another comment mentioned that) because anti-China/CCP sentiment is probably at an all-time high, but you can't take in thousands/millions of people in a short amount of time from a different culture without expecting an impact on your own.

tl;dr: How do I invest in British real estate?
Thanks! It looks OK to me -- what mangling are you seeing?
JustWatch | Berlin, Germany | FULLTIME, ONSITE | https://www.justwatch.com/us/talent

JustWatch is the world’s leading movie and TV show streaming guide.

We are mainly looking for talent for these specific roles:

- Head of Content/Metadata

- Product Manager

- Senior Backend Engineer (Go, JavaScript, PostgreSQL, ES)

- Frontend (Vue.JS, Ionic, Capacitor, TypeScript, React Native) — especially with TV and mobile hybrid experience

- Site Reliability Engineer

- Working student for Site Reliability Engineering

- Working Student for Frontend Engineering.

JustWatch promotes a culture of learning with a high degree of autonomy and room for personal growth. We work on hard problems, with low politics, clear focus and great context. We don’t have any non-technical product management and like it that way.

Our development philosophy balances fast hacking with a solid architectural foundation. We are a self-funded and profitable start-up, founded in 2014 in Berlin and currently employing around 50 great people.

If you’re into great code architecture, good naming, like to (continuously) deliver production code and actually help build a product bringing value to tens of millions monthly users already, let us know. For more on how we work, our culture, values and engineering practices, be sure to check out our blog.

Are you interested? Great, we’d love to hear from you. Just send us an email at talent@justwatch.com. We don’t believe perfect CVs exist, we just want to know who you are and who you want to become.
If they use treads, they probably also have more traction on slippery surfaces. Having spent a lot of my life on snow, watching her go up that snowy slope made me cringe. I get she was with her husband and they recommended the buddy system, but I definitely would expect that thing doesn't just get stuck on soft snow/sand but also easily slides on harder snow and ice. Of course regular wheelchairs don't do any of that, still think this product is completely amazing. However if you lived somewhere where you were exposed to snow/ice a lot, one of the more expensive treaded options might be the right call for getting around in daily life.
I think we're encountering a fundamental conflict between an unregulated free market and a digital economy that doesn't have any notion of scarcity or cost. The old paradigm just doesn't fit. And the result is that a handful of tech employees and billionaires can wield outsized influence over the dominant media channels and public forums of the entire world without any democratic input or regulatory oversight. The fact that anyone on the so-called Left supports the rights of these corporations to wield that influence by appealing to laissez-faire principles -- ("they're private companies, they can do what the want!", "If you don't like Twitter's policies you can go start your own site!") -- is mind-boggling.

I think we need social media to operate as a non-profit like Wikipedia, and I think drastic action is the only way to do so. Building alternatives won't work. A for-profit model is just not compatible with the nature of social media.
That’s not what rallied Brexit. The right riled up people with “scary” immigration, the same way “scary” Mexican immigration was used by Trump.

But hey, Hong Kongers are “better” immigrants. We can all see through this I hope.

Assuming the airliner surplus portends a medium term economic slowdown, then fuel will also likely be quite cheap.
It's simply not realistic to expect highly accurate facial recognition from public surveillance cameras.

Resolution is often lacking, angles are distorted, illumination is poor, people are moving, features are hidden or blurred, people wear hats, etc., etc..

Mug shots, maybe. Frame grabs from public surveillance, not very likely.
