's great you mention that. But the biggest reason that why FB, Google were excluded after around 2010 is never mentioned here and even difficult to debate because of political correctness: Is the Chinese government policy from economic reason or something else that has been interpreted as protectionism?

The other theory is uncensored social media is perceived as a big threat to national security threat (I'm not saying CPP security threat). The ground situation in China is beyond the understanding of most population even a large portion of intellectuals inside China. That view was enhanced and many Chinese intellectuals changed their mind after color revolution in Ukraine, middle east chaos, etc.

Don't get me wrong, most educated people inside China are against censorship like westerners and the sentiment was very strong and still somehow strong today. "Animal Farm" and "1984"[1] are sold openly in China. But normal peaceful life without fear of danger and insecurity from conflicts is evaluated more important than economic development let alone freedom of speech inside China but it is not necessary applied to other part of the world especially liberal Western world. With polarization of recent events in US and consequential censorship on YouTube and Twitter that beyond topic of BLM/Identity politics/etc which result in many normal Chinese YouTube and twitter accounts mistakenly banned (This is not well-known in English audience), even more Chinese changed their view against Chinese government censorship.

The real reason is not economical but from a perception of national security. The perception is debatable but it should be at least included as an option of viewpoint as opposed to totally excluded.

Or maybe, just maybe, he is doing something which he believes is the right thing to do and will help Americans? The ratcheting up could just be a tactic to force the next administration into a position to actually deal with the dysfunctional relationship rather than always rolling over and hoping things will be different like previous administrations.

This part is iffy: if you release a patch, it implies that it has backwards-compatible interface. So this will realistically only work for taking over the maintenance of the old package, not for replacing it with something entirely new. I think a version epoch might work for the latter.

War on fat – how I lost 20 kilos by changing my eating habits
I’ve read somewhere that they’ve been there since the NeXT days.
I don't think so. If I had a million dollars in free cash, I can just sit and buy 6 houses at 150k. And because I'm paying cash, those plebs with their home loan don't stand a chance in beating me. Better yet, I can buy foreclosed homes or short sales, which borrowers can't. This ultimately either pushes some down into renting, or some up into a higher priced house, both of which increase their respective prices.

If you limited home purchases to say, one per year or two, it would open back up the lower cost market. Not every house needs to be flipped.
I don't know where you got the idea from that I'm 'redefining' communism. Communism refers to an economic system, where one of the properties is that everything is state owned. And that is no longer true. Communism also refers to the Soviet model, and China is no longer using that. If I say that today's China's mostly capitalist system is a new form of communism, then you would be right than I am redefining it. So I am very confused by what you mean when you accuse me of redefining communism.

It seems more like that you are redefining communism to mean whatever system China is using today.

Just a quick rebuttal to your second point:

Implementing flagging and deletion is easy-ish, the maintenance is hard.

There's maintenance for unit, integration, and web driver tests. Someone needs to be oncall when they fail or become flaky. Someone needs to keep them up to date as tools and infra are deprecated. What's the SLA and SLO? Someone will have to maintain that. Who responds to monitoring?

Regulatory changes require effort, tests need to be updated, legal needs to sign off, UX may need to be involved. Who will make sure the sites maintain regulatory requirements?

You're right that it may be better to partner with someone else for archiving.

This can be flipped into a simple heuristic known as the "square root staffing rule" (sometimes "... law"). The name comes from call centres.

Basically, the number of servers you need to serve X amount of demand with Y probability of queuing is not linear with X. It is proportional to the square root of X.

The intuition is that a call centre agent is either talking to a customer, or they are not. If they are not talking to a customer, then they can immediately serve a customer. The odds that a given agent is talking to a customer is on a probability distribution, usually assumed to be the normal distribution.

In a normal distribution, larger samples lead to more and more appearances of outliers in the sample. More agents means more "outliers", in this case, more idle agents. And that curve is not linear, it follows the shape of the normal distribution.

Where it sucks for call centres is that demand shows seasonality and shift planning has relatively inflexible lead times. But in a software scenario we can typically acquire additional capacity quickly, so precision in forecasts is less of a problem.

The original point was "why would I learn a new thing, when I already know something which works". The response "some people don't have something they already know" is valid.

You're really bringing up a separate point which is "should we be reinventing the wheel?", I think that's a fair point, but it's not a response to the original commentator.
> "Abolish the police" is a scale where there is an extreme end where they may call for completely removing police from across the USA. From what I've seen, that isn't what the majority who are calling for abolishment are aiming for. Maybe "abolish" was a poor choice of a word.

It's not "Abolish the police" by itself. The same people also say "All Cops Are Bastards" and "Policing is a racist institution". It would be unreasonable to take these words as supporting anything other than doing away with police entirely.

My Air has a JIS keyboard, so the control key is where your caps lock is. Most of my keyboards are configured this way (either physically or in software); on those that aren't, I use my opposing palm to press ctrl. I can't imagine using a Mac with flat keys and no right control =(
I know this is not much, but when I joined de-Googlefication initiative, I felt it's a right thing to do. Firefox with uBlock Origin, DuckDuckGo, Lineage OS on the smartphone. When I have to use Google products, say Maps or YouTube,I do it from separate "compartment".

A website maintained with raw HTML still works just fine on modern web browsers. In fact, it works much better. Web pages built with some CMS systems often take 5-20 seconds to load, while the "raw HTML" sites load in fractions of a second. In fact, the speedups continue; JavaScript parsing is slow, while HTML parsing is fast, and HTML compresses like magic. So a "big" HTML file is transferred and displayed in remarkably fast time.

I wouldn't use raw HTML in all cases, but I also wouldn't use a fancy CMS in all cases.

It's okay to use different platforms for different purposes.

You fail to mention that the law requires 51% ownership by a Chinese company and forced IP transfer.

You also fail to mention that there are many industries in which foreign company are completely prohibited.

And the Chinese version of “following the law” includes whatever the party arbitrarily decides you should do. Including things like forcing companies to remove any mention of Taiwan from material completely outside of China.

How many of these suicides are due to economic despair? The economy is not coming back until we get Covid under control. The fact that we just ignore this is mind boggling to me. Most western nations have this under control now, its just us looking for every reason under the sun to essentially say "Its too hard, we give up, now die for the dow."

"Where Redfield obtained his data is unknown, although a doctor at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, CA claimed the facility has “seen a year’s worth of suicide attempts in the last four weeks.” He did not say how many deaths occurred, or whether the statement was exaggerated for emphasis."

Sometimes I feel like people take language far too literally and forget that the point of.language is communication and intent, changing the language really doesn't change the meaning behind anything, but because we live in a world where every word is being taken increasingly literally without any search for intent or meaning, we end up with utter nonsense like this.
Hi,

I have 2 questions:

1. The installation doc specified `watchman` as a dependency. Why is that used? without watchman, would pysa not work?

2. Also, why can the pysa become a separate stand alone tool instead of living in the pyre Github repo?
That doesn't even say why - just appeal to tradition essentially and past sentiments. Frankly it applies equally to gay marriage and adoption.
i3 and similar tiling WMs sound nice in theory, but any time I tried them I ended up frustrated by the sheer number of windows that don't tile nicely and thus the high number of floating windows in a window manager designed to tile. At least for me, WMs designed to float by default with tiling as the optional mode work much better.

> There needs to be a national mandate and actual enforcement of mask wearing to stop the spread.

That assumes that the masks are as effective as claimed, that mass enforcement is even feasible, and that the Federal govt. has the right to create such a mandate. I don't believe we have enough data to know the efficacy of masks, especially handmade masks out in the field. Mass enforcement of mask wearing, even if it was somehow cost affordable to task law enforcement with, would likely be met with heavy protest or open revolt in the United States by various civil rights groups.

There's nothing wrong with being concerned about safety, especially these days. However, it's not so simple as 'pass a mask law', and if you really think about it ... there's a silver lining there. Do you want to be ruled by a government who can tell you what to wear, when to wear it, how to wear it — even if you dissent? Once there is a precedent for a national mask law, the Federal government can use that to push for further loss of freedoms for individuals and states. I'm not saying the mask law concept is intentionally being pushed to erode freedoms, rather, that it has the potential to do so.

Businesses can already refuse service for any reason not protected by Federal/State law. That's plenty of grounds to kick out a non mask wearer. I don't see the need for additional laws, enforcement, or government spending. Let businesses and employees decide the level of risk they are willing to take.
For all the comments asking what's the difference between this and Bootstrap, Ant, jQuery UI, React, Vue and friends:

Interfaces built with FAST adapt to your design system and can be used with any modern UI Framework by leveraging industry standard _Web Components_.

The important word here is Web Components, which are like React or Vue components but using only standard HTML and JavaScript (no frameworks).

I guess you could even add Bootstrap on top of Fast.

That's not what I mean. Climate-change denial is a very specific issue, and empirical in nature.

When I say ideological difference, I mean people who have different fundamental values. Say socialism vs capitalism. People from both those camps can disagree with each other, but still respect the arguments others make and learn from those arguments.

Obviously, when I say arguments I mean academia level arguments, not party-rally-slogan level arguments.
The problem is that mental illness affects your ability to think. Most of the time, someone contemplating suicide is not making a rational choice about their future - mental illness often impairs the ability to make well thought out decisions. So sure, someone could hypothetically make the rational choice for euthanasia, but that isn't what is going on most of the time people are suicidal. I don't know what I believe about euthanasia, but I am in no way comfortable with okaying people to independently make that decision without a second opinion.
