Facebook has had a Tiktok competitor called Lasso for 2 years. It failed though. They are shutting that down and simply porting the features over to their existing Instagram app.

I realize that this is completely speculative correlation buuuut...

Part of me wonders if Trump was briefed on the Russian law going into effect last month :

Nov 2019 - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50507849

> Russia has passed a law banning the sale of certain devices that are not pre-installed with Russian software.

>

> The law will come into force in July 2020 and cover smartphones, computers and smart televisions.

And is literally just aping Russian policy :

August 2020 - https://www.state.gov/announcing-the-expansion-of-the-clean-...

> Clean Store: To remove untrusted applications from U.S. mobile app stores. PRC apps threaten our privacy, proliferate

> viruses, and spread propaganda and disinformation. American’s most sensitive personal and business information must be

> protected on their mobile phones from exploitation and theft for the CCP’s benefit.
I checked your bio and this is obviously an area you know a great deal about, and one I'm interested in.

Do you happen to have any high-level resources on the differences, pros & cons of TENS/tVNS/tDCS/PEMF and why one would be chosen over the other?

I'm slowly starting to piece things together, but frankly I'm a bit overwhelmed by it all
Who made the first move is kind of a philosophical question. And the tech war is part of a bigger "war" that is currently unfolding going from rhetorics to trade to military maneuvers.

What is more important is how it is being perceived amongst other countries around the south china sea. And as far as I can tell the US does not have the support it normally would have. Even from surefire allies such as Australia.
Excellent. If there are things you notice, please feel free to raise as an issue, and pull requests are always welcome!

For sure. I've been meaning to play around with getting a docker image with the shell set as the default. It's definitely a use-case I had in mind.
Well, patience is key. Just read the transcript and you'll notice that the project is not finished.
> None of these Chinese companies would have grown to what they are today without intense government-enforced protectionism at home

As others have mentioned, Alibaba, Taobao, Alipay grew the same time as mazon, Paypal and eBay was available in China. Also newegg had a much better headstart than jd.com but still failed.

At one time even Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger was a serious threat to Tencent QQ. Wordpress was much more popular than QZone.
What couldn't you express satisfactorily?
I don't know Maven much so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there is a substantial difference:

In Maven anybody could publish a package that starts with "com.google". The namespacing proposals I have seen for crates.io assume that namespaces are exclusive to a single entitity though. So once someone that is not Google reserves the "google" namespace, Google itself would not be able to publish crates under that namespace anymore.
Not many young people know Perl or Tcl (or even lisp for that matter).

>> The point of shell is that it interoperates freely with all programs and all programs share a language.

Also doesn't mean people should stop trying to come up with these new shells. May be some "new" shell will catch up and tomorrow's "all" programs will be compatible with that shell. For example, now on Mac OS X, now ZSH is the default shell.
Very nice, I can imagine all sort of applications for this.
How much is the power usage?
There isn't, but some of the proposed vaccines are entering (or very close to entering) phase 3, while this proposed inocculation by common corona viruses would have to start at phase 1, thus being much slower.
google.cn is located at its Beijing datacenter. If it's multiple times slower then Google's network optimization was really shit. GFW only works for cross-border connections.
No, one is oversight and due diligence, the other is IP transfer so that your company can be cloned and then be given whatever resources needed from shady banks so that they can put you out of business.
Putting tariffs on other country products is a lot different than what's happening here. Every country puts tariffs. It's business and trade.

Smart auditors ask for all items at the beginning of the audit.

It was a pretty scientific memo. It cited a lot of scientific research.

The sort of people who argue against his memo always end up looking foolish because they never argue against anything that was actually said. No specific claims are ever brought up except lying strawmen like "he said women can't program", a claim not found in the memo.

Instead it's all just slurs, insults, attacks on his character, guilt-by-association and so on. There's never any actual depth to it, it's all "don't look at the bad man".

Damore's arguments must be good, because in years of this coming up nobody has ever once managed to make an intellectual argument against the stuff in his memo.

>buy a house

You mean buy multiple houses? Because, at least here, that is the problem. People having 1 house to live in and grow old in is a not a bad idea imho; the idea that you need to sell that for a lot of profit and then 'go into real estate' is an issue. Britons are mostly spoonfed on that idea so they (the ones I know, obviously but also what I see on tv) sell their first property (mostly in London) for a killing and then start buying up multiple properties; few in the country side (usually do-er uppers), few in france, few in Spain, Greece etc. If you sell your house for instance in London and you make (because people do this when want to retire / paid off the mortgage) Gbp600k (the average price of a house in London) you can buy 3-8 houses were I live (and they do). Those become airbnbs or (illegal) rentals (b&bs) and ruin the neigborhoods + drive up house prices as people tend to bring their friends. This place is a ghost town in the winter and, with Covid, it is now too in the summer as no-one lives here; it's all rentals.

That and the idea that this is an 'easy gold mine' even though they have to work like maniacs to sustain these properties, make sure everything works, receive the guests etc which is just really hard (for most people, but esp people over 60) and can fall over any day even without covid, but it very much does with covid. Many are panic selling etc which now hopefully will give some locals a house for the (until now) live-in kids, but probably speculators will just come and buy them.
China already has concentration camps, heavy censorship, its a dictatorship and forcefully controls the population, and it's not just he "one child policy", its the sterilization of Uyghur men, and the forced marriage of their woman. All evidence points to china treating Uyghurs worse than Nazis treated Jews pre-war (Final solution was during WW2)

I the only difference between China and Nazi Germany from a human rights perspective, is that China hasn't declared any war.

Still, here in the west Nazis is the greatest evil ever, while China is complicated, and even some communist genociders are loved.

I'm not defending Nazis, I'm just staing that their evil is not unparalleled, and there exists a current nation that reeks of the same evil, and there doesn't seem to be a way to stop it.

Sure, the west is a mess with all the political tensions, but all that is just blinding to what is happening outside.
And, since people tend to link Go statically, it's not just like `apt-get upgrade libgo`, one has to do a full recompile. (Which, to be fair, Go makes a lot less painful than many languages.)
I'm curious what the code would be/how far of an extent it goes. I mean from my experience using it it's a search box, type in email, get results... so is this going to show scrapers or something where the data comes from?

For something like this, keeping things private has allowed Troy to work out the best way to do things with complete autonomy. That's really useful if you have the time and resources to get to market on your own.

The claim is that the walls can be hotter than the room around it. By the second law of thermodynamics, heat doesn't naturally move from a cooler object to a hotter object, or as Flanders and Swann would put it, "heat don't move from a cooler to a hotter" (https://youtu.be/VnbiVw_1FNs?t=127)

It's entirely possible to run a Git server which is read-only (for the rest of the world, anyway) and doesn't allow anyone to bother you.
It seems obvious. Much more support for silencing debate and opposing opinions. Regulation. Enforcing liberal values, such as forbidding discrimination on grounds that are important to them. ext.
I think the burnout is kind of related to money, but more about expectations - and demands - of your users as it grows.

Once a free or OSS project becomes really popular, you suddenly start getting a lot more people asking suppor questions, asking for new features, calling your project crap because it doesn't do X, etc.

I think that's the point where burnout starts to be an issue, because you have to spend so much time to satisfy your users, and because you invariably have to put up with crap from very rude users. At this point, you might start to think about monetising your project - after all, you're spending a lot of time on it. And of course, it's extremely likely you will fail here.
It's beautiful. Even quartz watches that thin are rare.

There is something inspiring about the combination of practicality and impracticality in a project like that. I'd like to see the philosophy scaled up. Nobody has ever built a practical mechanical computer. What could a modern clockwork engineer accomplish?
I was going to formulate an answer to the GP and then I saw your reply. Thanks for putting it together.

The US doesn't limit human rights. People who pursue happiness are still free to do it.

There are certain concerns around a particular corporate entity and a particular government directly associated with that entity, that has a track record of economic espionage, IP infringement, and denying US companies access to its country's market on competitive terms (the conditions that the US has been guaranteeing to almost every foreign business, until recently). And due to the found evidence of spying activity, and in the light of concerns about national security, the entity is denied access to the US market, as the entity seems to be an unfair player.

As for the human rights, if you are associated with CCP and are in support of it, from the moral standpoint there's no ground for treating you according to the Declaration of Independence, and not according to the Marxist norms declared in the CCP Constitution.

Depends on who you follow: the ones I do usually post facts (such as showcasing their work or linking to other people's work) rather than opinions, so it's been a net positive so far.

For example, I probably never would have visited CERN or Chernobyl without it.
It's become clear over the past year or so that US policy is essentially to ban Chinese tech companies from the US. ZTE, Huawei, ByteDance, WeChat, and surely more to follow as the election approaches and Trump tries to escalate tensions with China further.

On the other side, American tech companies do massive amounts of business in China.

The relationship is very lopsided, and at some point, China is sure to take action against American tech firms in China.
I think the media is partly to blame here. For example, here in the UK a whole bunch of experts have been warning that the virus will be with us for decades - and the British press spun this not as a debunking of eradication, but of the idea that we could carry out a "significant return to normality" by Christmas.
But if war is inevitable then better it occur sooner rather than later (as the CCP are becoming evermore powerful and aggressive). Imagine how much death could’ve been prevented if the world had stood up to Hitler earlier.

Tibet, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Taiwan, India, the millions of people suffering from severe drought as a result of Chinese Mekong River dams (Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam), the South China Sea conflicts, the Wuhan Virus, etc.

In an ideal world, the rest of the world would join Trump in isolating China through bans and tariffs.

Okay, I concede that Attics could be 30 degrees, at least some of the time :-)

Mine probably isn't because the insulation is on the 'floor' of the attic, so it should be approximately the same temperature as the outside air (well, if it were ventilated properly). This is one of the design choices of an attic. Still, I do wonder if this provides enough hot spaces for mice to have evolved to expect a 30 degrees environment. Maybe they do in some places.
Google the search engine is blocked in China. Google Ads aren't. It used to be the case that if you visited a website with Google Ads from China without VPN, most of those ads would be for VPN services. Last year, Google stopped showing VPN ads in China to comply with Chinese regulations: https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-bans-vpn-ads-in-china/

The fact check program is itself executive abuse and should be ended. Given how many "fact checkers" are simply leftist pro-establishment types, and how many "fact checks" they produce are simple re-statements of whatever someone was claiming without bothering to address any raised criticisms, it doesn't surprise me at all that it's a flashpoint internally. These sort of people simply define anything that's not left wing as "misinformation", so the claim by the FB employee is on its surface meaningless.

Zuckerberg should never have given way on fact checking. I wonder if he understands it was a mistake. Facebook is meant to be a social network, it's inherently a graph oriented organisation in which graph nodes are all roughly equal. Fact checking is the exact opposite: a hierarchy with Facebook at the top and delegated "truth arbiters" a layer lower, that try to dominate the social graph.

The cited example of the Breitbart video is a good example. The video is a video of doctors. There are tons of scientists, government advisors and indeed whole governments saying they don't see any need for masks, children can go back to school or never even left (as in Sweden), etc. You don't need to go far to find them. That children aren't infectious is by now widely accepted in the scientific community. For Facebook to censor the President for making such a statement makes them look absurd, and totalitarian. Given the long term accusations of fraud surrounding mail voting that were never addressed, it's not a big surprise Trump is worrying about the integrity of the election process.
This is a fallacious argument.

For example when Google worked in China they were ripped apart for doing that, and so decided not to.

Most of these companies could work in China if they followed Chinese rules. They decided not to, so they don't.
Best it occur under competent leadership, not those more towards incompetence and war mongering who will use the guise of the cost (monetary and life) of war to loot society even further.

I wrote this comment I'm pasting below (as to not waste it) because I could no longer post it as person deleted their comment, they seemed to have difficulty understanding that US behaviour wasn't akin to the CCP's behaviour:

Perhaps lesser of two evils argument is easier to grasp? There don't seem to be any reports of genocide being conducted against any populations in the US vs. the CCP with their concentration camps for million+ Uighurs - which the United Nations has accused the CCP of genocide at. There is freedom of speech in the US as well, and no mass censorship systems - so we can be more sure that this news would surface if it was happening - whereas because the CCP does have mass control-censorship systems, what comes out of it is more rare; "China Uighurs: A model's video gives a rare glimpse inside internment" - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-53650246

I am aware of Trump administration treating immigrants and people crossing the border badly, separating children from their families, etc. This would be an apples to orange comparison however, as the CCP is a longstanding tyrannical hierarchy, and Trump is a symptom of bad actors attempting to loot America for decades - leading to regulatory capture, a two party political system with spoiled politicians on both sides, etc. Trump's the wakeup call, amplified by the dangers of the pandemic not being handled well due to a wholly incompetent admin.

There is clearly a benefit to CCP having access to a global social network, let alone from the potential monetary value it has, it's also a source of potentially manipulating billions of people - or spying, limiting reach of those anti-CCP, and potentially at some point actually targeting those people online or even in person. This strategy is the Maoism and Nazi playbooks amplified and facilitated by current technology. They've also been making massive investments in developing countries in attempts to make economic footholds and have influence there; if someone can't see that they're attempting to spoil the bunch while maintaining lead control then they're blind or naive.

Fortunately India's leadership sees the danger and took steps to ban the apps. At minimum it's economic punishment for bad behaviour that isn't considered acceptable, it's notice that we're no longer going to allow them to participate in our economies nor benefit from them if they maintain this level of bad behaviour. We do have an addiction problem to low cost produced Chinese goods, primarily independent companies who moved operations there to compete at lower prices - thus forcing other companies to move operations there in order to compete, the solution being creating an artificial barrier to entry via import taxes so it's not cheaper; because there are external costs that haven't been being accounted for, in part that of giving economic power to a tyrannical organization like the CCP.
Until it doesn't...

> Civil wars are fought by armies and the US military is completely unified behind the preservation of the US government.

Let me give you an examples of a Lebanese civil war

Second, it's not that US potential adversaries have ever cease attempts to recruit 5th column in the general staff.

A big double digit percentage of civil wars in 20th century were foreign power assisted, if not staged, and triggered by them.

US generals with extreme right political views are ripe for taking for a country that seemed to ace recruiting rightist elements for its cause. You know what country I am talking about.
China's state doesn't take the role of the family afaik. The state is pretty laissez-faire until something global comes up.

Also I don't think the men to female ratio being higher is that significant in aggregated data. It was like at most 120% vs SK which is ~100%. I don't think it would effect the gender suicide ratio that much. I'd even assume having more male competition pushes them to be more valuable to women i.e. more stress.

I don't know much about indian culture.
