Where I am we have many levels of public safety enforcement; I've heard that in the USA there's a lot less variety in policing?

Ie, bylaws are enforced by armed and armoured officers who have full power to arrest.

Is that true? It seems to me that dividing the forces would help to break their unified defensive behaviour.
Federal protections expired on July 24th, that means the courts are about to be hit with 40M eviction cases at once? I can't even begin to imagine how long it would take to process that through the system.

Kids get the virus and in most cases their immune system handles it easily and clears it. We commonly call that "having immunity". You people have fucking brainworms.
I have to agree.

I was a heavy keyboard shortcut user on Windows – since Windows 3.1 days – which I believed was designed with mouse being an optional user interface device. Microsoft continued to bring ahead many of the keyboard shortcuts with Win95, XP and beyond.

When I switched to Mac, I was surprised to find how limited Mac keyboard shortcuts are, even till this day. For instance, on Windows one can resize windows with keyboard alone, but not possible, as far as I'm aware, on a Mac.

Not only is it lacking, Apple has also been dropping support for some keyboard shortcuts as well, e.g. you used to be able to put a Mac to sleep with Option+Command+Eject, with the latest TouchID MacBook Pro, Eject button is no longer there and the replacement shortcut with the power button is also not working on TouchID power button.
Sounds similar to Andrew Camarata's path [1]. His intersection with HN is he studied computer science, then decided he wanted to work outdoors instead (he grew up helping his dad and picked up a lot of fabrication and repair skills doing that, and he's really good at troubleshooting so he is probably no slouch at coding, either), so he started a property maintenance business.

Isn't a large part of house building, installing the plumbing and electrics? Is this handled by 3D printing? Or is it just the framing that is accelerated?

I'm thinking this may be a more expensive prefab approach, and may not be better than current approaches.
I understand the sentiment but there has to be a first company. Someone has to be the first casualty in forcing China to either open their markets or exit our markets.

I do wish this was part of a broader policy instead of a one-off.

> Look at the UK government demographics.

I will concede that the current UKGov is less white male than it has been but UK politics has always been much more progressive in that regard.

> You can't judge the past by today's standards.

In some aspects, absolutely. In things like "did they invade, subjugate, enslave, and pillage?", you absolutely can. Just because they didn't have porcelain toilets and lightbulbs doesn't mean what the British Empire got up to was ok, for example.

> every single culture on Earth would've done exactly the same if they had the chance

Not exactly a justification.

> Saying that white people are punching down is racist, because it implies a hierarchy where white people are on top.

In terms of political, cultural, etc. power, they are, that's the point - you don't pick on people with less power than you (see also: British Empire.)

> you don't get to judge people for staying out of this shit flinging contest going on in today's politics.

Of course you do. "It has been said that for evil men to accomplish their purpose it is only necessary that good men should do nothing." (Reverend Charles Frederic Aked, 1916)
Of course, less money (no patents, etc), less interests and less non relevant choices being made (e.g buying endless supply of quinine because something)

Heck if actual mild cold could cause mass immunity, the cold virus is it's own distribution mechanism. No need for all the syringes and other logistics.

I didn't say it'd be easy, but that's why people continue developing new materials and engines. There is a point where it becomes practical.
This doesn't work globally like the other shortcuts, but Ctrl+left/right will move the cursor to word boundaries in camelCasedWords, which is great for programming. I quickly tested it and it worked in Xcode and Sublime Text but not in TextEdit. (You also have to disable the system shortcuts for moving between spaces)

At the same time the US caused (directly/indirectly) the death of 400-800k people in Iraq. Somehow there is a double standard regarding human rights.

China is despicable but I think that the moral ground of the US regarding this kind of issue is quite shaky.
That’s not even a good take. Clearly it’s not one big competition for that - you’re on HN right now which is not competing.
It would interest you to know that the emacs keybindings in MacOS came from NeXTSTEP. See Figure 4-9 on page 4-7 of http://www.nextcomputers.org/NeXTfiles/Docs/Software/OPENSTE...
It seems like you're operating with a different value system to most of the west and at the same time want approval from what is a mostly western message board. This is super apparent in "ends justifying the means" comments on XJ. You're also recycling a bunch of Chinese state media rhetoric on these topics.

The theme of the CCP being flawed but the best the Chinese people can expect b/c insert some state rhetoric here and that without them they'd be at the mercy of the western powers is propaganda. Economic tides have lifted almost every country over the past 50 years because of policies and values put forth by western institutions and worked DESPITE bad governance in some of the world.

Having maintained control of china even after some of the worst public policies of all history (cultural revolution, one-child...) is precisely the reason some are not comfortable with the ccp becoming influential outside chinas boarders.
Tough question actually, because I know what it is intended to mean, and I also know what a lot of its most passionate devotees want it to mean.

I didn't disagree with any of the thinking behind it: shifting more funding and responsibility to social support/health professionals, and focusing more on the conditions that spawn crime rather than just stamping it out as it shows up. Seems like the difference between actually fixing the holes in your house vs. putting all your money into duct tape and basins. The first step towards fixing a broken system is identifying the root causes.

But there's that, and there's the vast majority of people I know who say every cop is an evil fascist and society would be better with no law enforcement at all. Given how many people think—and want—"abolish the police" to mean abolition in the most literal sense, it is hard to look past that definition, even if it's not the intended one.

It's simple: Radicalism breeds radicalism. I don't like those redneck survivalist guys with all the guns either, but it's getting a lot harder to tell them their doomsday fantasies are stupid when so many on the left sound like they consider CHOP to be a blueprint for a better society.
One shortcut that I actually miss from Windows is the one that effortlessly moves windows left and right between monitors/screens.

Are folks unaware of the history of westerners and trade in China, and how this kind of attitude could be interpreted by Chinese people not ignorant of their country's history?

In the late 19th century Great Britain fought two Opium Wars to force China to open up its markets to British opium. The British were forcing Indian farmers to grow opium and then taking it to sell to China. They wanted access to Chinese silver, but China had little reason to give it to them. So Britain's answer was to get Chinese people addicted to opium and get the silver through trade of opium for silver.

The Qing dynasty, for obvious reasons, didn't like this idea and forbid the British from importing their opium. So the British fought two wars to force them to accept their imports.

The Economist magazine was established in the mid 19th century as a pro-slavery, pro-imperialist magazine. Their arguments during the lead up to both opium wars sound a lot like yours. I want to make people aware of this, because it's important we understand how that kind of argument sounds to many Chinese people less ignorant of Chinese history than most westerners.
Tangential to the topic: is there somewhere I can buy keyboard stickers with the macOS shortcut symbols on them? I couldn't find them when I looked in the past, and it is frustrating looking at my external keyboard (or even many internal keyboards) and trying to figure out which key matches which funky symbol.
That is a staggering amount of money.

Take a look at how that worked out for attempts to suppress the DVD/CSS ripping algorithm.

When software is source code, not just binary blobs, it starts to enjoy (some|more) protection under the 1st amendment.
The statement "they have implicit and explicit support from the Chinese government" is really indistinguishable from "the problem is they are Chinese".
That's what they're saying to justify it. That and the evergreen appeal to "security reasons". But these are the same people who, every few years, try to ban strong encryption. The next time they bring that up — which you'd better believe they will immediately the next time the right news story presents itself — they're going to use this as precedent. "See, we've been banning technology for all these reasons, what's one more little step? It's for national security."

There is no political or economic will to embargo Chinese made goods. It didn't get this way overnight, it wouldn't be possible to end it overnight. It would translate into wholesale asset destruction of many businesses who depend on supply chains that would take years to recreate. It would make hundreds of millions of poor even more poor: here and in China. It would take away cheaper versions that make people feel just a little bit more in touch with people who can afford every day things. It would be an economic nuclear bomb just to prove a point.

And for ~40 years the U.S. at least has considered attacks on its economy as a national security threat - it is extremely likely an embargo leads to an actual war. Making everyone worse off in the short term is a fast track to violence.

Besides, the vast majority of consumers have voted with their wallet.
From the state department publication: https://www.state.gov/announcing-the-expansion-of-the-clean-...

"Momentum for the Clean Network program is growing. More than thirty countries and territories are now Clean Countries, and many of the world’s biggest telecommunications companies are Clean Telcos. All have committed to exclusively using trusted vendors in their Clean Networks."

Looks like the goal isn't to balkanise the global internet. Rather, to create a zone where Chinese companies are banned from accessing it at all by integrating other countries into the Clean Netwok program starting with the US. Unlike China's great firewall which is purely domestic in scope, the Clean Network has global ambitions.

>>This is incredible stretching + straw man to frame this as a political boogey-man (socialism).

It is not through when you expand the inquiry to writings and positions the same advocates and politicians have on other issues and topics. A clear pattern emerges .

>>Do you consider EMT's socialist?

That depends, since there is a large number of private EMT services who bill for their services directly no that would be socialism

For government run Police, Fire and EMT service that boils down to how the funding for those services are collected on if they are socialist in nature or not. Here we would get in a public finance debate.

That discussion however is not really at the heart of the matter, police respond to situations where there is an eliminate of physical danger, this includes medical emergencies. This is often desired by the EMT's themselves because situations people suffering a medical or metal issue can often turn violent.

Again the solution IMO is not eliminating the police from responding to these calls, but to provide proper tools, training and resources to he police to understand the situations better. If you want to send along a medical person or a counselor that is something worth looking into but I do not believe replacing the police as the first line respondors defending the police, abolishing the police, or is the solution here
This is obviously false on its face. China would have invaded Taiwan from the get for if not for the US. And blaming china’s self defense fears on their building up the military is just communist apologist nonsense
The problem isn't much about labor costs in the US, but the dismantling of the supply chain.
Even Apple had problems sourcing screws when building a handful of its computers in the USA, which is well documented.
To re-build a domestic supply-chain, one has to start somewhere.
China started by exporting 'low-tech' products (plastic utensils, some toys) and it inexorably moved up the chain while USA and Europe eventually divested of much of their manufacturing infrastructure.
Well said. I think we also need to limit how much data corporations (especially advertiser cartels) are permitted to collect on individuals.
Certainly the fiscal stimulus and monetary stimulus as been inflating the housing and rental markets, there's no question whatsoever. Generally speaking the asset holding class has benefited wildly from all of this stimulus to the detriment of the working and middle class.

As far as explicit coercion I really doubt that and I doubt it would be even necessary. For many, many reasons politicians are heavily incentivized to just flood the system.
The same should apply to externalities like pollution. It shouldn't be cheaper to pollute somewhere else.
They could even have it on by default, or rather, have “Excel NG/Matrix” be an optional no-quirk behaviour regimen.

They could have a scripting environment variable that is “quirkkMode=ON” by default and would maintain backwards compatibility at the small expense of needing to specify sane behaviour as an exceptional circumstance: just another line of boilerplate.

There’s a lot of things they could do. They’ve no doubt considered all of them and then some, and yet they‘c’è decided to do almost nothing. I suppose that says something about the disconnect between how we and they perceive their incentives, but I’m not sure what that assertion is.
Often times it's raw ability to produce the product. We cannot suddenly produce the iPhone in the US. Other times the products produced are just too expensive. Go to your local Honda Powersports dealership and price a motorcycle then go to your local Harley-Davidson dealership and price a similar motorcycle. Even a made in Japan motorcycle, with Japan's most premium motorcycle brand, will be much cheaper than the made in America variety. Made in China is significantly cheaper compared to made in Japan. Finally it's also the raw quantity of products we important from China. $539.5B worth of goods imported in 2018. Producing this much would put a strain on our infrastructure, on our labor force, and on our ability to manage cultural shifts.

This isn't a new thing. It's been going on for decades. Huawei is a stolen corporation that would not exist if not for theft of technology, intellectual property, and trade secrets. It would further not exist if the Chinese market were as open as the American market and Huawei was forced to compete on a level playing field domestically.
It does though. There's no excuse for unencrypted traffic. Google doesn't have some VPN with squishy unencrypted traffic inside. Everything is just HTTPS. If they can do it, so can you. It's just not that hard to manage a PKI.
They sure do. They also have restrictive laws that require foreign companies to sell majority stakes to government controlled companies... or at least partner with locals that have significant stakes in your company.

Even if you comply with all these regulations, you can still get booted out of the country and have all your assets and IP seized and redistributed, at the whim of their farcical of a judicial system.

By far the most important keyboard shortcut in my work life is "shift-esc", which marks all channels as read in Slack.

Not a system-wide one, of course, but very useful.
While your points are good, I don't think that's an issue for OP.

From what I understand he wants to avoid the "professionally outraged", not necessarily to scrub his feed of anything remotely "ideologically-charged".

I don't often go on Twitter anymore, but from what I saw and from what other people report, there seem to be some "wars" going on where people are just shouting random stuff at each other without even so much as attempting to have an actual debate. I can see how following such exchanges can feel tiring and a waste of time. However, most tweets I used to see from people I follow are mostly matter of fact and technology-related.

Of course, they sometime stray from strictly IT talk to more personal things. For example there's a woman who would sometimes tweet about her daughter / being a mom. Could this possibly be a vehicle of some sort of ideology, such as feminism / women in tech / whatever? Sure. But it only comes in once in a while, I can jump over it, and it has never devolved in any kind of screaming match.
TBF the last 1.5 centuries aren't slouches either in terms of sociological field experiments.
It's like every Social Media is just doomed at some point.

Most just end up polluting their functionality so much that it destroys the original core.
Yeah, but calling it "defund" sounds a lot like "no more police, anywhere".

I think a lot of the insanity here could have been avoided if this was presented as what it was intended to be—a reallocation of resources based on a desire to more effectively address deep-seated problems that make society worse for everyone—and not as, you know, anarchy.
It was for economic reasons on both sides. Political pressure from the US often has economic consequences. The two things are rarely not connected, especially when you're the size of Taiwan and dealing with the US (your sole protector on the planet, the only thing standing between you and getting Hong Kong'd).

The US getting cut off from TSMC supply by a China move was unacceptable economically and politically. On the other side, the political relationship with the US has all sorts of economic ties for TSMC and Taiwan.

So you can plainly see, the economics of it are connected all up and down the context. They cannot be separated.
It’s a cultural thing: if I’m not mistaken the traditional Chinese system is Y-M-D and always has been.
What are the negatives? The value of HIBP is in its data, not in its algorithm. They lose nothing by open-sourcing.
I did this before learning about other tools! But you can download ddcctl from GitHub, then create an automator "quick action" with no input from any application. Then I created a flow of "Ask for text" (brightness), "run shell script" (/path/ddcctl -d 1 -b "$1/"

Once you have that saved you can go to your Mac keyboard settings and add this new automator app as a new shortcut!

Or, use an existing app :)

>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. //

I guess the "only for those people living within the bounds of USA." was inadvertently missed off the end there? /s

I think the 14th amendment to the Constitution strictly speaking says that "any person" (contrasted to Citizens) under the auspices of the USA should get equal treatment in law too.

>No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive _any person_ of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. //

Maybe this doesn't apply with federal laws (if so, what does restrain them??).
Yes, the nature of the law shouldn't be dismissed. But don't you think it's up to the citizen of that country to judge the validity of that law, and not up to outsiders?

Mass protests in China do happen. When people really are dissatisfied, they do speak up, and it does happen that the government listens. For example in 2019 there were mass protests in Guangdong about building a cemetery. People mass protested, some even vandalized and got arrested. But in the end, the peaceful protesters didn't get in trouble, and the government gave people what they wanted. https://mothership.sg/2019/12/news-china-protests-wenlou-hua...

The situation in China isn't as black & white, or as dystopian, as what many believe, even though there's still plenty of room for improvement.
