There is a difference between China is 'uniquely evil' and 'China has an especially bad record on human rights and fair enforcement of the law.' Remember, in China there is pretty much no freedom of thought, including religion. And they are oppressing 3 large groups of people - Tibet, Xinjiang, and now Hong Kong. Of course it is not a binary good/bad thing, but some kind of false moral equivalence between China and Western countries is just as ridiculous and harmful.

You do understand that much of the news you read about the US is wildly exaggerated?

Having traveled and met various young Europeans they were often suffering from amazingly ignorant ideas about life in the US(particularly the Germans).

One couple was scared they might get shot while traveling along coastal California. Surprise, gun violence is not evenly distributed, most Americans don't encounter any gun violence.

Police violence? Never seen any except on TV. Weird hu?

Seems to be plenty of propaganda in your own news media, why do you think you are equating China & USA?

Let's separate the mortality rate from the actual impacts, which are multiple. The hospitals in multiple places are overwhelmed for months with cv19 cases. The mortality doesn't matter when NYC, much of Italy and Spain, and now Texas and Florida hospitals are overfull with patients being treated for cv19, and other patients are hurt because they can't be treated or are afraid to go. There is excess deaths (ie more people dying than would otherwise, more than a typical flu year).

In the us we went through a long period of shutdown and we still ended up with this happening in several places. If we only quarantined the elderly, we'd still have this happening, but it would have been much much worse. Even if the death rate ends up being low, like 2%, we'll still kill a lot of people through hospitalization overload. That's why we need to social distance and wear masks - we don't need to wear masks only if the death rate is > 2%. It's to decrease the whole impact.

Plus when this article was written it was back in the magical thinking period that somehow in the summer the incidence would go to almost 0. We now see that it's still very infectious and will be ruining people's lives for a long time.

You are confusing military bases with expansion. Having a military base is not the same as claiming territory. This is the maritime boundary claimed by China: https://i2.wp.com/thegeopolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/2017...

China has illegally extended its maritime boundaries to include boundaries of other ASEAN countries (read up on UNCLOS: [2] and what is considered International Waters and what is not. It even lost a legal battle with Philippines [3] but still continues to illegally expand its maritime boundaries). It can lead to blockade of essential goods and services including oil and gas to Japan and South Korea. US doesn't claim any of those lands or sea except for the base where it has military presence. All major powers in the World have military bases spread across the globe. None of them are considered "expansionist". Many of those bases are setup either through an agreement with the Country in possession of the land or by leasing it. The bases can be removed at any time. But China is claiming territory. Both are totally different! So yes I stand by my point: China is the bully here!

It is doing the same in India as well. Expansion. Please don't compare the two again!

Better that we ask commenters "Is this what you mean?" Many times voters are probably misinterpreting comments.

I’ve observed two interesting outcomes from this, even as someone who has challenged himself to seek clarity and understanding by asking more questions:

- People who ask for clarification are downvoted heavily for reasons that I can’t assume (this happened a few weeks ago, it was a positive interaction with the person who inquired of me, and I enjoyed the back and forth: their questions were relevant, they sought clarity and they were polite and deferential, I told them as much-yet all of their posts in our conversational bivouac were heavily downvoted by parties never revealed themselves or what their problems with the questions were)

- People who are asked for clarification take it as a sneaky and underhanded attack (this happened two days ago, I asked someone if they could expand on a one-line comment because I was having trouble understanding the intention of the comment, someone else came along and called me a troll).

Both of these are anecdotes, but not isolated ones, if you’ll permit the examples as far as pleasant conversation here will allow. I don’t have solutions, it’s just...there’s an awful lot of assuming going on even when people ask questions is my observation.

Some of the things you said are correct. I won't dispute them but they are solvable problems.
There was a similar thread for Germany here recently, and I remember someone saying that most companies will just start using multi-use plastics instead of single-use ones... without reusing them.

> I have seen many people work much longer than 8 hours a day without issue or burnout if it's what they like doing

For how much time? There is a clear association between more working hours and more burnout [1] and health problems [2] that can be delayed for decades.

> Yes they can, they just have to accept that they will get compensated and rewarded less than people who generate additional high quality work.

Sorry, but in most places this doesn't happen. I'm lucky to be out of those environments, but the expectation tends to be that everybody works those hours or they're out, even if they're producing the same high quality work (also, I highly doubt that more hours equals more high quality work: productivity decreases after a certain point, specially in software, that's why 6-hour work days are being discussed so much). I still remember a friend being glad that he convinced his manager to "only" work 10 hours a day, because he was literally losing hair due to the extra work. This guy liked what he was doing and at the beginning said "it doesn't matter, I'm happy working these hours.

> It's not reasonable to say "I demand everyone works 8 hours because I want to work 8 hours and I don't want any ramifications for making that decision".

Well, this is the law in most countries in Europe. Overtime is heavily regulated (enforcement is another matter, unfortunately) precisely because business pressure can be disguised as "individual decisions". When a lot of people start working more hours, it puts pressure on people who fulfill their contracted hours, and who might not want or be able to put those extra hours.

In the end, it's a balancing act between giving some people the freedom to work the hours they want and helping the company put pressure on others to do more hours than they were contracted for (in other words, changing their work conditions without negotiation) or give others the freedom to do the job they were hired and paid for without pressure to do more than what was negotiated. Me, I prefer to err on the side of caution and choose the action that doesn't harm the health and well-being of the employees.

We aren’t talking about cultural appropriation, so why bring it up?

This is about an under-represented group (in tech) subject to current-day prejudice. That’s not irrelevant to how the language is received.

It's hard to get past this being another wrong medium article that doesn't match reality. Why does covid19 attract so many quacks who cant help but argue that it's no problem really, go on about your lives (with 130k dead in the us, 600k dead in the world). It's actually a problem. It hasn't gone away somehow, even with massive amounts of magical thinking for the past 6 months.

Edit: we're actually a week away from reaching 600k, per https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries. Will it take 200k dead in the us before we can stop arguing it's no big deal? A million in the world?
Aaron committed suicide because he was suicidal, not because of the prosecution. He admitted to thinking about suicide and being depressed multiple times in the past even before the prosecution. At the very least, no reasonable person would commit suicide before the outcome of the trial was even decided(e.g. Slobodan Praljak)

The prosecution against him was unwarranted from an ethical perspective, but that doesn't mean it alone drove him to suicide. Laying the blame solely on external factors for a suicide does an extreme disservice to the understanding of depression and mental illness.
It's all possible :-)

Ask HN: Active public repos like Gitlab on GitHub
I'm currently looking for very active public repos on GitHub that is as active as GitLab in terms of commit frequency and number of contributors. I've yet to find another public repository that I can index that is as active as GitLab, when it comes to these two criteria.

https://imgur.com/qmiCNTP

As the screenshot above shows, GitLab currently has 370 very active contributors. The closes publicly available repo that I've found so far, that is quite active is elasticsearch, but when it comes to very active contributors, it has 5 times less.

https://imgur.com/vrd7ibx

I'm looking to get more data points on code reviews at the scale of GitLab and I was wondering if there were other public repos on GitHub that I could index. Note, I can't use GitLab, because my solution currently does not support indexing merge requests, which is why I am looking for similar repos on GitHub.

Thanks!

I would love to see an experiment done with a Linux fork with the inclusive terminology changes. Then hopefully, all the black coders that been prevented from contributing to the kernel can start working on that one, and naturally it will eventually surpass the original, non-inclusive kernel. All the bigoted people can continue working on what they've worked on for years and PoC can have their kernel. Everyone wins.

Can someone point me to the spot in the article where they actually allege that Tesla has resold a lemon buyback on which goodwill repairs were done?

There's a ton of text here, but the actual allegation seems to be completely unsubstantiated.
I agree that the prosecutors were unnecessarily aggressive in the way they want after Aaron in this case. However it is a dangerous precedent to set that anyone who does something that might be seen as a catalyst for suicide can be found culpable in a murder. If someone gets fired for their job and commits suicide, is their boss liable? If someone is dumped by their significant other and commits suicide, is their former partner liable? This also isn't getting into the problem this presents for the legal system. Does someone fabricating suicidal thoughts force the government's hand into a lighter sentence?

Also suicide is never a "reasonably foreseeable outcome" when someone is faced with a 6 month jail sentence. There are literally millions of people in jail in this country for longer sentences that never consider suicide. Anyone who thinks throwing away the 50 years post jail sentence is worth not having to endure a rough few months is not in a good mental state. This country does a horrible job helping people with mental health issues. That is generally what kills people who die by suicide. It isn't whatever event is ultimately the impetus for the action.

Looking back through old news, in 2016, Clinton was not in favor of the deal, probably because of the anti-globalist faction in her party. Trump was against it because America first...which is slightly different.

I think I blamed Obama a bit because it looked like all outcomes of the election lead to no TPP, so he didn't push it hard enough, didn't negotiate hard enough to at least get Clinton to support it, or didn't rush it through while he was in power. It felt like he saw it wasn't going to happen and gave up. Maybe it's not fair to put some of this on Obama, Trump was the one who made it official.

Interesting side-note: here in Vancouver BC, we were full steam ahead on eliminating plastics (e.g. styrofoam take-out containers, plastic drinking straws, shopping bags, etc.) but that was seemingly all instantly reversed once social distancing started.

I can understand the reversal of charging for shopping bags to encourage bringing reusable bags: reusable bags are potentially a disease vector.

But what's with the reintroduction of plastic straws over paper, and the reintroduction of styrofoam over paper boxes? A temporary cost-reduction measure, allowing the using-up of old stock these businesses had laying around?
