I was just being cute with USA224. The context is Zenz claims there are ~1,200 facilities to account for 1-3M detentions (not concurrent), but the only credit analysis by ASPI could only identify 180. ASPI is another very pro US, AU based think tank with funding from US MIC.

We're _3+ years_ into this thing and it seems like western interests have zero incentive to have a proper accounting of the situation, which is getting unalterably suspicious. Instead consistently rely on atrocity porn from interviewees who change testimonies and quotes from Zenz or other biased reporting. i.e ASPI also did study on Uyghur for sale, but omits context that the lowest compensation they could find basically extrapolates to entry level wage at Foxconn and significantly higher than backwater prefectures (Hotan) prisoners are from.

If the "somewhere in between" narrative between mass genocide and just re-education / vocational training camps is: less than 0.1% of China is being forcefully indoctrinated for lower middle class wages, then the entire western muh "human rights" campaign collapses. So here's more Zenz, non-compelling testimony, previously debunked organ harvesting / holocaust claims so susceptible western audiences can project their own Godwin law delusions onto. Also XJ is a blackbox, except the social media flowing out of it that we won't report on. Otherwise what's happening in XJ is just boring cultural genocide with more cameras and spread sheets, which to be blunt, is geopolitically unactionable.
I think this would make a lot of people uncomfortable. I'm relatively pragmatic and untrusting, but I would be offended if someone I knew did this to me. And if it were a neighbour I didn't really know, I would be a bit worried: now I have the responsibility of keeping their key secure, and if I lose it they will suspect me of stealing it, and all for the privilege of being asked to do a favour for a borderline stranger who doesn't even consider me trustworthy.
Using keepass (synced via nextcloud) for ages now, what would be the arguments for bitwarden?
Lockdown has given a lot of time to think about this.

Humans are social animals. We need to have contact with people outside our families.

Living in the country / distant suburbia doesn’t give enough social contact to be healthy, I think, at least in the U.K. In the past I imagine small villages were much more sociable, because people weren’t commuting out, and families lived in the same place for a long time.

So overall, I think living in a city is psychologically better for you. Not necessarily in the centre, but close enough that you can easily get there, can access lots of social venues and find people you get in with.

Of course that was pre COVID. Now is the time to go spend that year in the country, you’re not going to miss out on anything.
This makes sense. If it bugs you, just upgrade to a paid account. Being able to manually verify your identity in case of emergency is a real service and worth paying money for.
Yeah same, Bitwarden is really good. Have been using it for the last 4 years.
Unrelated to the heading of this post, but looking at the screenshot it seems that it supports OTP generation within the app.

Having one place that both stores your password and generates the OTP seems to defeat the purpose of 2FA no?
I discovered that the proof of a fundamental proposition in my maths PhD thesis had a mistake in it two weeks before my viva, after I had submitted. Not sure if that was a better or worse time to discover it! After a rather stressful few days, I managed to reprove it and took the correct proof along to the viva. The examiners were 'well, the result was obviously correct so we weren't worried about it'!
The exchange cannot simply cut a break to a trader for being a retail speculator; that's not how these NYMEX futures work. A brokerage might be able to help a customer buyer by settling the delivery itself, but settlement other than physical would require consent from the matched seller. (There exist other oil futures that are cash settled.)

Fawkes: Protecting Privacy Against Unauthorized Deep Learning Models
Every time I read one of these articles about cutting Google out, it becomes quickly apparent that the author uses the internet primarily as an entertainment or social platform which isn't my use case.

I'm old school, I use the internet as an information resource. As such good search results are paramount. Try as they might, but other search engines are nowhere as comprehensive as Googles. As long as I flex advanced search queries and ignore/adblock all the sponsored rubbish, Googles results always get me what I need, unlike any of the others. I can't see me switching away from Google search anytime soon.

I have never trusted cloud storage, so I'm not as deep into the Google infrastructure as most. I don't even use my Google account for email.

Primarily, people have enjoyed Googles services free for years, but now are suddenly saying 'omg, they are using my information for their own purposes!'. There's a very old saying 'Don't look a gift horse in the mouth', which basically means if something is free, there WILL be a catch.

If having a large corporate spying on you and your data is really an issue, then pay for the same services from a smaller independent outfit. You'll be supporting smaller business, and as a paying customer have some recourse if they sell your data.

IF like me, ditching Google completely is not an option, then you can always mitigate the problem by installing an adBlocker (white-list those smaller sites!) and an automatic cookie eraser.
That would only make sense if they use Electron besides Linux.
My suggestion is that you shouldn't bother. The Chinese people would not believe the Western media narrative on Xinjiang (XJ), which also doesn't really have credible sources if look deeper into their "facts" [0]. And it is increasingly clear that the XJ narrative is a US-backed propaganda rather than factual reporting [1]. Most of us would consider the western people being brainwashed into believing whatever the media puts out about XJ, just as much as the English speaking westerners think about us. Please ponder about this: can I, as a Chinese, easily change your media-fed opinion on XJ? Yet I am trying my best here (because I procrastinate).

The video shown by the BBC about the official visit to the vocational training center implants a subliminal message of "bad things are happening here" with eerie BGM and horror-movie-like filter. Your system 1, i.e. your fast, instinctive and emotional mind [2] would also be tricked by that too. Regardless of what's happening there, do you really think this is the way of objective, bias-free reporting?

Personally, I do not like the way they train these people. Westerners would never understand this culturally. But when compared to the war effort instigated by the US against Islamic nations, vocational training is IMHO a much better alternative against terrorism. XJ used to have a terrorism problem, and it's now much safer.

I would suggest you guys to travel in XJ after opening up, if possible, it is an incredible place to visit. If not then there are plenty of local people on youtube vlogging their daily lifes.

There is a comparable situation with Americans, many people are unaware of the Tulsa massacre, and the reaction I've seen from people first hearing about it is mostly anger at it not being taught.

Personally I'd be thankful to know of censored history, particularly if it is occurring and being censored right now, in a democracy.

While I understand the wish to get the best/any batch, this is significant exaggeration. If your kids food depends on getting the batches from the website, then you have much larger problem than bots.
I think the reason why web sites are as slow as they are is because they can be. Double the speed of the Internet and all computers and soon enough the content will expand to be just as slow as before.

Thank you for all your replies.

One point I may have missed point out more clearly: The 6+ years I plan to use this thing is also due to environmental considerations.

First, I am a big advocate of the right to repair. I think it is consumer-friendly and more sustainable. One of my Apple Silicon concerns is, that the new Macs won't be as repair-friendly as the current generation. MacBook are already not repairable at all, I guess this trend will continue to the Desktop lineup (except the Mac Pro maybe).

Second, almost all my devices eventually have a second live, sometimes even a third live. My first MacBook (first white Intel MacBook) was used by my wife for 3 years after I used it 5 years. Then the plastic body started to fall apart, so I sold it on eBay for a decent price. My first Mac Mini (2,1) was used for about 6 years. Then, I upgraded the 32-bit Core Duo CPU to a 64-bit Core2Duo, got 4 GB RAM and a SSD. I patched EFI to support 64-bit OS and the Mac Mini runs as a little home-server (Pi-Hole, Time Machine, Nextcloud). And finally, my 2011 15" MacBook Pro still runs Catalina (thanks to DosDude's Catalina Patcher tool). This is were currently my music production and recording happens (yes, really!). This machine has still more juice than the new 13" MBP.

So, the point is, however, I want run macOS as long as possible on this machine and then give it a second live (what ever it will be then). And I'm afraid this will be a problem because either a) (if I buy Intel) macOS will drop support for Intel in 5-ish years or b) (if I wait for Apple Silicon) the iMac won't be upgradable and everything glued and soldered to the max, which also makes repairs impossible.

Do you have any thoughts on this matter?

And what I can read from your comments is
a) Don't hesitate if you need/can afford/can live with macOS and
b) it's probably time to leave the Apple ecosystem.
Anyways, you gave good points to think about, thanks a lot!
More to the point, what do you want them to do about it?

Why the hate for electron? I know that there are a bunch of shitty electron apps out there, but there are also great, fast and leightweight examples. Visual Studio Code is easily one of the best desktop apps I've used (on Windows) and Discord is also built on electron and works very well.

Electron isn't necessarily bad, its primarly a matter of how good your implementation is.

There's a much simpler solution -- just pay all the shoppers flat, fair, per-hour rates and eliminate tips.

If shoppers get paid for their work, not a percentage of orders, there won't be any of this mess.

UPS drivers don't get a percentage cut of what's inside the boxes they deliver; grocery drivers shouldn't be treated any differently.

As a Muslim, I do not believe this. I still remember the Iraq war. No need to believe state media companies like BBC that never questioned the narrative in the "free" world. China will win hearts, propaganda will lose.

No major Muslim country says anything about China. Should make you question everything the mainstream "free" world narrative says about China.

Old boomer era propaganda wont work :D come up with something new lazy people.
Yeah, I was taken aback when I saw the video because I thought the initial smoke plume was the aftermath of the explosion. Then it went off and bloody hell.
Having worked at Google, I doubt this very much. I'm 100% certain it's a bug. I do not believe in malice on the part of Google in anything that does not have to do with ads. If it's ads, all bets are off.

The Expanse also has UBI on earth. With it, most people still lack opportunity and live a rather destitute, powerless life.

Seems like a pretty good perdition of our future, really. UBI recipients with no labor of value to offer won't have power to change their government for long.

It's unfortunate that the authoritarian future of Star Trek probably wouldn't lead to paradise. Or at least, that's how our culture's view of the future has changed.

Both fictions are a product of their time. I still wish we had the optimism of Star Trek now.
My math teacher used to only have a tiny piece of paper with the thing he had to talk about during the lecture; since we had to prove everything we learned during this class, more often than once he couldn't remember how to prove some thing and usually happily sent a student to the blackboard to think together about how to prove the proposition. I thought that was a great way of teaching maths.
They've been interating on the construction process with each one built. I've been welding (DIY) for 30 years, and the first ones looked pretty bad to me - lots of distortion, and I actually thought the first one was just a mock-up. But the process is clearly improving with each build. I still think the nose cone looks like it will improve in the future, as it doesn't look as precise as the main body is now looking, but I'm sure they're working on it.

This, overall, is an amazing achievement. I watch every F9 landing that I can, and it never ceases to amaze me. The FH two-booster landing looked like straight out of a SciFi movie. But this... this is next level again. The 20km flight will be truly incredible.

> In general, my scraping methods usually ends up hand-crafted

I've tried many of these xpath generators and even built few myself. There's still nothing that matches human built ones. Best selectors and most stable selectors are context aware. For example to get a comment text a human would build a css selector: `.article .comments-box .comment p::text` and there's no way without AI's involvement or some big-sample training for the generator to know this object relation structure.

This becomes especially noticeable when parsing complex webpages that can be highly dynamic and with their html. While the tree structure is often unstable the core object relationship almost always is, in other words comment text will always be under comment paragraph, under comment box, under article.
FYI, the Windows application is now at the level of the macOS version. I was also annoyed by the move to a subscription model and waited a while before accepting to switch. But I'm now quite happy paying yearly given how well they improved their cross-platform support.
1. I don’t like or want subscription software. I shouldn’t have to pay continuously to retain access to features I’ve paid for for years and it’s not ok to potentially lose access to my main method of creating and accessing secure logins across devices if I stop paying (which could be by choice or, whether temporary or permanently, involuntarily/accidentally).

2. I don’t want to store my data on their servers. I have ways of securely syncing data that I trust and that use only devices I control. For reasons of trust, security, etc. I want control of where my vaults are stored and it not to be the same company as the one that provides the software (for some machines/vaults I can also prevent 1Password from accessing the internet at all, to ensure the vault can’t leave a secure network, for instance).

3. If everything I store in synced folders was a separately charged service I’d be paying thousands a month. This trend is unsustainable and unwanted. I see absolutely no incremental value in the hosting service so I don’t want to pay for it.

3. The whole sleazy business model that pushes users towards subscriptions and makes it harder and harder to stay on self hosted vaults and uses things like this, described by them as the most requested feature, as leverage to try and force more users to switch. When the subscription model was introduced there were assurances to concerned customers that we were valued and this self hosted sync method would be supported. I am fine not getting features that are and should be deeply integrated with and require their hosting service (I also have no interest in ever having access to my vault via a web browser, which has the potential for horrible enough security properties that I’m glad it’s not an option (and I don’t have the time or inclination to have a feature which I don’t require anyway audited)). But when an entire desktop client is put in that bucket, it is because someone decided to make it so to try and get us to fall in line, not because it needs to be. Not the action of a company that respects any the users who still want to self host like they say they did.

At this point, with what appears to be a company that’s hostile to my use case, it’s getting difficult to justify spending more money at the next upgrade just to avoid the one time pain of evaluating options and switching to something that’s potentially better for my needs (if it, say, has a full
Linux client I can use). If I move I’ll also likely plan to switch over the teams I manage that do use the subscription model. Subscription software makes far more sense in a corporate setting, and if the 1Password account fits the threat model then great, I use it, but if I am no longer using or evaluating 1Password (especially when the reason is partly trust in the company itself), that gets trickier, as does continuing to recommend it to others.
I guess this isn't really "hacker news" then, because I would expect just about any "hacker" would know the difference.
With MS plans like Windows 10X, which seems just laughable to be honest, I would have expected this.

With a market share < 5% it still is sadly an exaggeration though.
This was incredible. I've been waiting to see this launch for months, especially after a few failures with previous versions. But it's all worth it. This is it! Next step will be even bigger and better. More hops, reigniting the engine and then 20km.

You’re generally trying to make a burglar rob somebody else’s house instead of your own, which is why things like visible cameras, nighttime lighting, and dogs are more important than locks.
