Can you imagine asking “have the French forgotten what Napoleon did to the Italians?” to explain the inner functions of the European Union?

Modern Chinese geopolitics should not, and are not based on the events of two centuries ago. Any pretense of that nature is frankly condescending to the Chinese people.
> "The technology is simple and very safe, using a deep red light of a specific wavelength, that is absorbed by mitochondria in the retina that supply energy for cellular function."

Interesting, I would have never thought that we have cells that use light as energy.

Also, is this deep red light found in sunlight as well? As in, does this treatment only work with light that is restricted to this wavelength, or does it work with any light that contains ample amounts of this wavelength?

I know its been coming up here and there that we are just not getting enough sunlight in general with everyone studying indoors, working indoors, exercising indoors, etc. Just seeing if this is a broader issue of people not spending enough time in the great outdoors.
At the moment we don't open up the shaders or any of the GPU related backend details. Mostly because we are using different rendering API's for different OSs. OpenGL3 for Linux, Directx11 for windows, and Metal of mac. However, in the near future (specifically as we add a 3D widget) we will begin exposing it! I appreciate the comment! We'd love as much feedback as possible.

The US is the country with the big consumer market, though. Who cares if small country X has high tariffs?
It makes it clearly a business conflict, not a free speech one.
I'm not seeking approval, nor saying end justify the means. Merely end is inflated by west to justify their means if you follow developments. Which state media topics am I recycling exactly? Every claim can be verified in western literature by subject matter experts and not lazy bylines uncritically accepted during a period of heightened tension when all parties are spewing propaganda. The rest is basic verifiable facts (border ratification) and math (incarceration rate / # hot wars over time). And TBH all I see is people in the west quote their propaganda. And for reference I'm from the west, I just recognize different values and systems and how each has a purpose, i.e. how democratizing too early is how most developing countries get stuck, essentially without exception. Whereas starting authoritarian at least has a few working models. Chinese/ASEAN geopolitics is just something I follow extremely closely for a long time, so I'm able to trace events and sequences properly unlike most people who just quote the latest talking head. Economic tides have not lifted everyone equally. Or else China would be India, or one of the other BRICs that failed to take off. The point is CCP did a great job relatively peacefully, all things considered measured relatively to other parties. CCP is the worst form of government for 1B+ people, except the for all the others. West is never going to be comfortable losing their preeminence, and US its hegemony. That's human nature, bad self rationalization is part and parcel. Take this this conclusion:

>Having maintained control of china even after some of the worst public policies of all history

Both US parties were responsible for slavery. But guess what time moves on, the last few CCP administration did a great job, lot's of progress, some regrettable regress. They're different polity, like Trump is different from Lincoln... both republicans. This is such an obvious observation but somehow all of CCP is treated as one contiguous entity and can only replicate the worst outcomes of past possibility space, i.e. frequent two-brain cell exclamations that TianAnMen 2.0 is going to happen with every incident in PRC, because somehow a massacre that happened at a time when PLA didn't have any anti-riot gear, is suppose to occur today. Or Xi's definitely going to be dictator for life, when his term has only ran for 7 years, Merkel is nearing 15. Ignoring that CCP is already grooming 6th gen of leaders (skipped 5th), aka his successor(s) are lined up. But people uneducated in the topic are too eager to eat propaganda and claim nonsense (like UN + Genocide). So here we are.
Or ease the pressure by encouraging more and denser development, especially of less profitable low income housing.

Hi,

Why do you (your team) really have do do this?

This is digital destruction. It's not about the features you shipped in 2008, and what those look like to a 2020 audience. It's about the content(!) which is part of the human creative endeavour.

Thanks for taking questions.
It's funny, I've been hearing since at least 2011 that a stock market correction is going to happen any time now. For the past few years I've heard the same thing about housing. But there is so much money out there looking for a return, and so few good places to allocate it, that it is hard to see what the catalyst could be for causing a correction. Obviously things can't go on this way forever though.
The author was very clear that they're focusing on the programming language part first and the running non-built-ins part is just a proof of concept to be fleshed out later.
> There is complete ban on torrent / porn sites in India

This is incorrect. There are a set of sites which a few judges decided should be banned. There is no ban based on the category of the sites, or in other words newer sites based on these categories are not automatically banned.
All that article says is that Larry Tesla 'invented' the concept of copying and pasting. That has nothing to do with keyboard shortcuts.
During the Nazi regime, written records of people’s religious affiliation were used to target and detain Jewish individuals. I know it’s far-fetched in the current world, but there is little defensible reason for corporations (or governments!) to hold that much information about individuals.

It’s also been documented that lack of privacy has a chilling effect in public discourse, whistleblowing, and other activities where you’d expect a reasonable level of privacy.

It’s not 100% privacy vs. none, but at the moment Facebook and Google are both very, very close to ultimate knowledge about an individual.
And what about whisky?
You mean never wrap code and have a really long horizontal scroll? These things are subjective and you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but is say that's fairly hardcore.
Wouldn't that drive rental prices up? I don't think high housing prices will be solved on the demand side.
"If these companies were competing, and winning, on features and innovation, there would be no concern that the company originated from China. The point of that anecdote is that these companies have crap products that are only competitive because there is no competition."

Try Instagram Reels and Tiktok and see which is the crap product.
Except it wasn't entirely their choice (to give up their IP).

Most of the companies when those joint ventures were setup were promised or told that their intellectual property was secure. It was then stolen and they were left with regret. Companies which refused to take that risk were compromised by Chinese actors and had their IP taken by force.

For many years the US has had to stop IP theft from China: (example: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-charges-five-chinese-milit...) and this is simply a cumulation of those efforts.

The blame on China is more than fair.
The solution was not to go into quarantine in the first place like Sweden who has basically beaten Coronavirus at this point.

Now we pay the price for poor decisions.
We are not China and we dont want our countries to behave or become like China.
Genuinely surprised that Chinese shills / psyops are targetting HackerNews. Seeing a lot of comments like this one which follow the standard handbook response.
Susceptibility of SARS-CoV-2 to UV Irradiation
It's not just that some laptops don't have them, it's also that they're always in a different place. Every time I use windows, I need to look at the keyboard to find home, end, etc. On any Mac I use I don't have to search.
Any view can be described as intolerant. Stamping out, “intolerant” views is one of the reasons many authoritarian regimes uses to stamp out dissent.

The United States did this when it persecuted leftist sympathizing folks back in the 50's. "If we don't kill communism, then communism will kill our society. These filthy socialists and communists preach intolerance with rhetoric against the hardworking American. Tolerating them will only get us killed."

The USSR did this by sending people who questioned party agenda straight to the gulags. "By going against party thinking, these people are pushing for an intolerant society that is stratified with the class structures of old. We need to get rid of them before they ruin our perfect tolerant society."

The same logic is used to try to stamp out Muslims in countries like India right now and other places in the world historically. "If we leave the intolerant Muslims around, they'll bring forth Jihad and enforce Sharia law on everyone. The Koran is very intolerant about how non-Muslims should be treated, we need to force them out because their intolerant views are a threat to tolerance everywhere."

Literally every Christian country post-Martin Luther in the middle ages used that logic to wage wars on other Christian countries. Not just Christian vs. Christian of course. It's why countries in the past fought against each other over religion so much. When intolerance is defined as views that I don't agree with, it becomes kill or be killed world.

One of the best features of the enlightenment thinking is the concept of tolerance. One of the fundamental principles of Western thought. The idea that, we might have fundamentally opposing views, but can we interact without having to resort to a scorched earth policy. It started with Christians tolerating other sects of Christianity, but it’s now encompassed nearly every historical division.

The paradox of tolerance is inherently wrong, because true tolerance requires you to be tolerant to beliefs that you believe are intolerant.
Nothing you have described is even remotely feasible. I don't think you understand how the worldwide supply chain works. Plus it is impossible to deal with conflict zones and failed states.
We need to open everything up.
It’s fine, depending on what you plan to deploy. The how thing comes of as a bit disconnected, Docker doesn’t have worker or management node. I think this is part of some Docker Swarm thingy, but fails to make that clear.
Trump doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.

China is creating a social credit system that exerts a ridiculous amount on control over its citizens, and spies on their every move. Who in their right mind doesn't think that they would force TikTok to do the same on global citizens - not to mention manipulate them with propaganda.

Not to mention that whole imprisonment, torture, enslavement, and sterilization of the entire Turkic Uighur population. The real question is why do we tolerate ANYTHING Chinese?
Yeah, I don't know of any particular harm linked to it, it just seems like something we'd never let kids do these days just in case, since "apply magical chemical, it fixes everything and is entirely safe!" has a history of being wrong about the "entirely safe" part. These days I'd expect any plan that includes "we'll spray clouds of this in neighborhoods" to get shut down before it can even start, for that reason.
Option and Control didn't even have these symbols until pretty recently, maybe 5ish years? Annoying.
This would require some fundamental changes to contract law. For example, you would need to make it illegal for limited liability companies to own property. Or to have buyers present themselves at a government office and sign a document saying that they are the ultimate owners of the property, with ID verification and pictures taken of their face. Then you would need to centralize this data into a national database.
This isn't really uncommon. Part of my training at my current job for a large company which is decidedly not a monopoly includes these kind of suggestions, definitely directed towards avoiding anti-competitive legal issues. Honestly I think you could almost argue that it's helpful to change the language, because it keeps focus off of "crushing the competition" and on "serving the users best" (IIRC that's an exact example from my training).

Language matters in law, yes, but language also impacts company culture.
Assuming the 800 million user base trebles, is $196 per potential future user a reasonable valuation?
The US killed millions in last 2 wars. Acutal deaths.

China is accused of what ? actual re-education. Both in reaction to terror attacks.

Keep in mind we are mostly reading the propaganda. Look at actual videos of people going to Xinjiang avail tells different story.

Who am I kidding you are a racist claiming to support muslims , give me a break
It would not be at all unreasonable for other countries to ban US social media companies.
So, it always has to be enforced through gunboat diplomacy?

It sounds like a failed system, then - can we move over to some other economic model, that does not require coercion or a constant threat of war to function?

Unilateral coercion is not the basis for a free society, or free relationships between societies. It is utterly incompatible with sovereignty and democracy, and the ability of countries to decide their own internal policies.
Right now, it doesn't. But I don't think it is because they are OK with European companies dominating US market. It is rather because there are no European companies at the moment capable of dominating US market. The moment a company in Europe starts to gain significant market share from American companies in the US, the government would (most probably) step in and stop them.

I'm not European, but here in Canada, I have seen how the US treats its trade partners. Trump forced Canada to renegotiate NAFTA and got many concessions from us. Less than 2 months after his new trade deal came into force, he is imposing a 10% tariff on aluminum imports [1]. Before aluminum, it was softwood lumber. In the middle, there was Bombardier passenger airplanes.

The funny thing is, in order to force Canada to renegotiate NAFTA, the US imposed tariff's on Canadian steel and aluminum under the guise of "national security" [2]. That is why I don't buy any claims on national security excuses for putting tariffs or expelling companies. It's mercantilism, plain and simple. But because it is frowned upon to talk about mercantilism in this day and age, the US administration always covers its mercantilism with a thin veneer of market fairness and national security.

Either that, or Canada is actually a national security threat to the US.

The Hal Varian quote there is a good illustration of this. If it was an attorney representing Google talking over e-mail, such an aside would be protected by attorney-client privilege and would not have been subject to discovery. It is a banal and funny comment that would have been fine to make in-person. It should not have been made in writing.

This is why stuff like Slack is like opening a Lebanese fertilizer storage warehouse right next to your fireworks factory. It is just stupid to make even more of your company communications subject to discovery. Email and note-taking software is bad and dangerous enough.
Government need to reasonable, still have the lockdown while we know the virus is not that dangerous ? paying people extra unemployment money to not working ?

What can a government provide for free that neither causes inflation, nor requires tax dollars?

• Land distribution is kind of free as long as it's unclaimed and there's plenty.
And then we fix this next problem, right?

That is no argument to avoid a policy. That is an argument to prepare for the next steps.
The thing is, this is not full screen maximize. Mac like most Unix systems (Linux included) can create multiple virtual screens. What this means you have does windows on different screen from your computer point of view.

This is something what you may or may not know as Workspace from Windows or KDE but on steroids.

How virtual screens are handled by the OS is different story. As a user of ungodly discussing i3 tailing manager I can only say, problems you described I personally consider as terrible design and putting look over functionality.

Basically this looks like OS X do care only for current screen if it's full screen or for any screen if it's not. What's inconsistent (terrible UX) and hard to use (also terrible UX).

Your experience had been the same as mine. I bought this program a couple years ago and haven't looked back - https://contexts.co/.

However, it seems it may not support the latest MacOS builds. Actually I just checked their Twitter page and saw they said it supports Mojave, so maybe it does.

The $600 a week number was chosen because the average American makes $900 a week, and the average unemployment amount is $300. $900 - $300 = $600 to make up the shortfall and get everyone to the average.

This is obviously flawed, and the initial idea was income replacement so your income remained the same, but the state of the IT infrastructure in unemployment offices across the US is so dismal there was no way they could cope with that requirement.

It seems a bit rash to take as a given that journalists "insist that Twitter is the place where their job happens" while at the same time rejecting the common assumption that follower count is generally a proxy for importance.

As far as I am aware, it is easy to read anyone's public statements on Twitter without following them and private messages are obviously inherently private. It seems fairly reasonable for journalists to conduct their work in that public forum without without tacitly endorsing white supremacy.

With that said, I am not really sure what your point is. Could you please clarify?
True, and there is probably a way to prove that is not the case, but I have no idea what that way is right now.

On the other hand, if you are bothering to email me to ask for SSH access to ensure what I say is true, you probably have the knowledge to detect if I am lying from inside the server.
Presumably spinoffs would end up with their own copy of all software infrastructure, which would evolve independently at that point.

Am I wrong in thinking this is directly handing value from holders of dollars to holders of corporate debt and equity?
You don’t need to either/or these 2 concepts. Societies always have some amount of negative and positive freedoms. In Germany it’s illegal to do the Nazi salute in public, which is a form of ideological censorship, but there’s a valid, widely accepted reason for that. On the other hand, privacy is a Human Right, so there’s also wide consensus as to its value. Violating the privacy of the masses, in order to sell more products, is not exactly something that is very defensible because we collectively seem to find it unethical.

Could you be more specific?
Society is defined to similar values where they can drive progress towards a common goal, when values diverge completely where some say family construct is no more valid and should be abolished and others see it as central construct for a healthy society to exist and 'tolerance/intolerance' there is no society anymore.

Open minds and progress forward(in minds) what defines a healthy society, delineation a thin line between tolerance/intolerance - where war is already lost, openness and freedom to discuss any ideas is where progress is made.

This is what it was in soviet russia and politburo dispensing viewpoints anyone having any other ideas was to be force-reeducated. Anyone doing too well etc. etc.
The US Space Force Is Already Sponsoring a Race Car in the Indy 500
Tariffs aside, considering Canada is our neighbor and has roughly 68k active military personnel vs 1.28 million in US, it should most definitely align itself with US on national security grounds. I believe that if Canada was ever under threat from another state, that US would definitely step in to help. Also, this is apples-to-apples comparison because the total land area (to be protected) covered by each state is approx. equal (6 million square miles or 9.8 million square kilometers).
