One thing that goes along with the loan issue is what is being 'taught' to kids as they grow up. Parents, primary schools, and secondary schools all try to ingrain the idea that "you have to do well in school so that you can go to college and get a good job". They are essentially brainwashing children into thinking that college is the only option.

There are technical positions that pay better than many jobs that require a degree (auto mechanic, diesel-electric mechanic, electrician, construction, police, etc). The opportunities provided by technical schools are being systematically suppressed by the overwhelming message from teachers that one needs a degree to be successful. I don't think I've ever witnessed a more evident example of institutionalized bias.

On a side note, I know a guy that is a diesel-electric mechanic. He had little debt and was able to graduate to start making money sooner. He has awesome benefits and made a starting salary that is higher than I make now (I'm in software dev, 8 years in, one promotion, and a MSIS). I also know a guy who two years into a construction position and will make more than me (lower rate, but he's overtime eligible).
How is it illegal to have a maid in EU? Never heard of this one so genuinely curious. It's super expensive for sure but not illegal at least here in France.

Neither of those was stricken.
Whataboutism.

China is literally running concentration camps to persecute religious minorities. This is happening at a huge scale and without any oversight on human rights.
It isn't just 5G, Huawei equipment is used throughout the telecom industry.

I’ll be honest, I don’t really follow your argument. If they are partially effective, it helps reduce the R value, which prevents transmission on a population level. If it is partially effective with those with a high level of viral shedding, I don’t see why it would be less effective for those with lower viral loads.
It seems reasonable to assume that masks will help to reduce transmission, until further robust evidence shows they don’t. I mean what is the alternative?

Additionally, interesting article suggests that salt infused masks have increased efficacy against viral particles. Perhaps using salt infused masks would be even better?

China is currently doing slow motion genocide / ethnic cleansing in one of their major provinces.

There is no comparison. Relativism... is a way to 'cleanse' somebody's crime, with saying: but x, and y, or doing something bad

We see China bots doing this over and over on forums, (reddit being a prime target)

Lets make it clear: by saying china is not doing anything worse than the west, you are clearly supporting genocide and concentration camps...
But this is still using a hammer to screw in a nail. Rust is a systems language, it’s a junior dev move to force it into a web server. Use go or typescript for this, not rust. Just like I would write c++ for a backend unless i’m trying to shave off some nanoseconds.
I don't know why these infuriate me so much, but this is the absolute worst. Maybe because it looks so obnoxious. It seems like it should not be legal.
I think it's to do with how many articles you've viewed from each browser in the last month or something. Sounds like you've visited more NY Times articles on mobile recently.
I don't understand how you can give 'American cops routinely kill people' as an example of human rights violations that are being ignored.

Is change lacking? Yes. Is there outrage? Also yes.

Of course, had you were to make the point that Western politicians are complete hypocrites then I would wholeheartedly agree. Although, I also don't think that's a uniquely Western phenomenon.

If they really want to give people the experience of drinking water in the Desert they should do what the Army did and sit pallets of water bottles in the sun so all the Soldiers could get a nice, plastic-flavored, scalding hot drink of bottled carcinogens.
Really this is a war of value systems masquerading as a trade war masquerading as national security concerns.

I would much rather the west comes out and say this has nothing to do with national security concerns or trade or economics, but that there is no way the west can tolerate how the Chinese Communist Party conducts itself, regardless of how many people get rich from their immoral actions.
I think the simplistic sort of thinking that capitalism and human rights are 'inseparable' from each other and can be 'exported' like Coca Cola or Blue Jeans is just a leftover from the Cold War. The reality is much more complicated unfortunately, together with the slowly growing realisation that the USA has quickly lost it's 'role model' status as the leader of the 'Free World' after the Cold War has ended.

The West needed 30 years to realize that (some are still working on this I think) because it thought that it had actually 'won' the Cold War through it's actions during the Cold War, when the reality was much more likely that the East had collapsed also without much 'help' from the West.

The countries on the 'losing side' in this battle of ideologies (like the Soviet Union and China) had adapted to this new reality much more quickly, both in different ways though, but none of them copied the 'obviously superior' model of the Free West.

Of course hindsight is 20/20, but sometimes I've got the impression that many people in the West still wear their rose-tinted Cold War glasses ;)
There is definitely good coming out of it for the EU.

Europe does not have to align with either side. It is a superpower in its own right if it gets its shit together (one can dream).
China puts their own citizens in concentration camps. They're using machine learning to generate social scores. If you don't like America or the UK, you can leave. Try doing that in China. Dying in a free zone is preferable to the enslavement that the Chinese are subjected to. Freedom has a price, and it's not racist to not like these horrible cultural values or to go against them.
They refused to replace an iPad whose screen shattered after falling from a chair less than two weeks after my wife bought it. One should note that it was specifically recommended to her in the shop as a good device to let the children watch Netflix on. Obviously, it wasn’t fit for that purpose. All they offered is buying the exact same fragile device again at a discount. I was so angry that I contemplated secretly putting “Careful, fragile glass! Breaks very easily.” stickers onto the devices in the shop. :)
Your questions aren't about telecoms hardware, but about politics and the international flow of power. China is slated to take over the world economically. Their political model has the potential to spread around the world. These are attempts to limit China's capacity to grow as fast while inhibiting their capacity to knock out, intercept, or backdoor critical infrastructure.

There is something about LEDs on metal parts that is very “sci-fi cool” to me.

To pick one category, status indicators on older Dell Latitudes and Macbook Pros.

These were small, pleasant, and very useful.

The “breathing“ pattern is also amazing. So simple, yet nice.
Cheap 3 axis CNC machines are very dumb (I broke a home built machine once because there were no end stops and I programmed it wrong (stepper motors are very powerful)).

And there are professional CNC machine costing waay more than this robot.

I think you are comparing apples with oranges. The price is also for a development kit. So I can imagine the price could be at least half if they sold a few thousand of them.
I also have my own domain and use a similar setup, with some grouping, such as:

home@domain.tld is for anyone and anything dealing with my physical home. Delivery of an appliance, repairs, homeowner's insurance and such. I expect the email volume here to be low except when ordering something.

fly@domain.tld is for any flight reservations. That's pretty convenient, I can find any old tickets or travel details by filtering for this address, and I also know any incoming mail is likely an ad, unless I just bought tickets.

hotel@domain.tld is for all hotel reservations, and is even more convenient. Unlike flights, I never need any emails from hotels except to see that my stay has been confirmed.

And on the rare occasions I expect to need a throwaway email, I'll use somethingrandom@domain.tld and point it to /dev/null after receiving what I needed.

I'm 99% sure they remove everything before refitting, both to avoid accidents (Jet fuel and sparks don't mix well, for instance) and to avoid theft ("I'm sure I left my Tomahawk somewhere. Has anyone seen it?")
Classic whataboutism. China has more Uighurs in "re-education" camps than Nazis did in WWII. And plenty of people in HK have disappeared Stalin style. Its disingenuous to say "nobody died" just because you can't find the bodies.

Middle east is a mess for a number of reasons and 40+ years of civil wars. You can't directly point the finger at one nation like you can for the human rights violations in China.

And might as well throw the racism card in there too. Anyone who thinks China is ruining Hong Kong and imprisoning millions of innocent people, its because they're racist.

You aren't dealing with China. You dealing with CCP ruling China with ironhand.

Recently they even failed to honour their fallen soldiers in recent clashes with India and you think they will let you know how many they killed in Hong Kong.
On this thought, why is the concern about 5G rather than existing mobile networks and existing fixed-line networks (Huawei kit is common in both)? Is something different about 5G or the UK implementation of it?

I think it's equally wonderful and terrifying that nature produced humans, capable of creating the screens we look at all day.
What a short-sighted, backwards knee-jerk, racist reaction. If Huawei's 5G infrastructure had leaks allowing Chinese control it would more than likely be spotted by UK engineers. The application of controls as simple as IP whitelists or air-gapped systems helps ensure no leakage. Transparency of schematics and specifications means both Chinese and UK engineers get to see what's going on.
What's the expected service life for that kind of network gear? Wouldn't most of it be gone or upgraded by then anyway?
This is awesome! Will definitely be using this, thanks!
Maybe the long term resolution involves recognizing that even if China is totalitarian, it's only within it's own borders. Unlike the cold war days, there's no race to convert countries to Communism or Democracy. China's main mode of interaction with other countries is through trade, it doesn't play the game of political/ideological proselytism. If democracy loses ground around the world, that's due more to it's own failings than a concerted push by China to replace it with totalitarianism. Spend more time and funds fixing the economic inequalities plaguing democratic society than wasting it on ineffective bogeymen like confronting China half a world away.
"The average annual total return and compound annual growth rate of the S&P 500 index, including dividends, since inception in 1926 has been approximately 9.8%, or 6% after inflation" [0]. If you have a 40 year career, money you put in at the start would approximately be worth 10 times what you put in adjusting for inflation, and even money you put in midway would approximately be worth triple.

Generally harbours aren't very deep. You could "sink" it by a couple of meters .. but most of the ship would still be above water.

This was an advantage after Pearl Harbor, when several of the ships could be refloated: https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/Decoder/2012/1207/Pea...
U.S. is just concerned that China, and not them, will get an edge in spying and the next industrial revolution. Speaking of human rights it should be noted that U.S. not only wantonly attacks or bullies other countries, but it also has the highest incarceration rate in the world - in absolute terms the number of inmates is comparable to that of China and India combined.

Unfortunately the controls problem gets much harder in a non-rigid system. Now you have to solve autonomy AND overcome poor sensing and manipulation.
If you don't have anything to add to the conversation besides "but what about what the rest of the world is doing", then why bother to comment? I don't know why any post mentioning China makes you people come out of the woodwork to argure that the rest of the world is just as bad.
In this case there are no drop in replacements unfortunately. You'd have to drill holes. But I'm okay with keeping these stock regardless, they're fine if you tune up.
A doctor basically told my mother "The cure could be worse than the problem". So they just monitor.
When mass uprisings are necessary for even a serious discussion of the problem (intention to resolve it is nowhere in sight) - then, yes, killing by cops is being ignored and has been ignored.
While I don't throw change out info not use coins ever. Any coins I get in change goes directly into the tip jar or change tray in the car or bucket at home. It's not going to be reused until I take a bunch of it to the bank.

I would say get rid of all change but if absolutely necessary keep the quarter. With cards being so prevelant who cares, they will stil have the exact amount. To be fair I think checks should basically be banned or not accepted anywhere. They are outdated forms of payment. We don't need to keep them on life support when they are not economically viable.
A typed language is a typed language, there are other languages that are easy to get performance out of.

"I'm Brett... and Twitter power user"

I can't believe a grown adult considers this some sort of qualification.

As for "education-based communities on the backs of (social) media empires"... what a horrible thought. Imagine getting your education from a Twitterati or Fox News-backed organisation.

"Psychology is the most underrated major in tech."

Maybe for someone with a psychology degree who's looking for a "Silicon Valley" job. I don't think I'd see psychology majors clamouring to get through the doors of IBM or Capita.
I'm very sympathetic to your criticisms of the UK/US, but I think you are taking for granted the great many freedoms you enjoy (I assume you are from one of these countries but apologies if not) and are being naive (or just perhaps it's driven by cynicism) over the very real differences here.

Behenna for example was held accountable. Your prior insult was quite unwarranted.

Behenna served five years in prison for killing a suspected al-Qaeda terrorist (Mansur) that was linked by an intel report to a roadside bomb (that killed two of Behenna's friends). Behenna was convicted of "unpremeditated murder in a combat zone" and was released from prison in 2014.

After prison, Behenna completed five years of parole and Trump pardoned the remaining five years. I don't agree with the pardon, however you of course made it sound like Behenna avoided prison time and there was zero accountability.
Those gliders with huge wingspans and no awkward propeller on the nose look incredibly elegant. There's a gliderport not too far from me and I've always wanted to give flying one a stab. But it's really hard (and nerve wracking, lol!) to conceptualize how they stay in the air using thermals. Especially in staying in control when coming in for a landing.
This type of analysis is built on the assumption that the main function of education is student transformation. I think ranking is implicit in the existing system and online education platforms ignore the ranking aspects.
Your point is? Every nation does this with their indigenous population. Yet you don't seem to be outraged at the fact native americans are raped and murdered almost everyday in america.
With zero sympathy for Chinese ethnic cleansing, Nazi concentration camps were perhaps a different league. Maybe people never even got to stay there: unloaded at the rail terminal, ushered into gas chambers, then burned in the crematoria.
I'm looking forward to a time when you can simply pass a highly creditable exam without having to attend class. This will probably require the reputation of an existing high-rep university, but once it's happenend, things are going to be very different.

Imagine if you could be anywhere in the world but claim to have passed the math course of some famous university. I think that would change a lot of things about how we view education and qualification.

Yes, nobody's hands are clean here.

There is, however, a pretty big gulf between the stuff the US has done and engaging in ethnic cleansing and running concentration camps as a matter of policy.

The difference is massive, and well known. Please don't try to falsely equate the two.
I once took a 5 year old laptop that was out of warranty. The battery was swollen so they fixed that for free. They also replaced the display panel because they noticed the hinge was a little loose. They also fixed a dead ipod touch for me once. Mailed me a new one and sent me a box to RMA the old one and I couldn't have spent more than 5 minutes on support.
> I'm constantly seeing westerners whine about Chinese human rights violations while simultaneously ignoring the HR violations occurring everywhere else, especially in the west. American cops routinely kill people.

There has been protests for more than a month in the USA and the west because one black man was murdered by police. The police officer that murdered him will be charged and brought to justice.

There has been nowhere near this level of outrage against the actions of China, and nobody will bring the perpetrators there to justice.

To suggests that HR violations in the west is being ignored is laughable and dishonest and is evidence of your ulterior motives.

"People’s hands smell very different—that’s why dogs can identify people; you have to try it! All hands have a sort of moist smell, and a person who smokes has a very different smell on his hands from a person who doesn’t; ladies often have different kinds of perfumes, and so on. If somebody happened to have some coins in his pocket and happened to be handling them, you can smell that."
Starred yours :DD
I strongly disagree. If you care enough about an issue to repeatedly go outside during a pandemic and protest, then you are not ignoring it.

The set of 'Westerners' does not exclude the protesters.
