Deprecated is a word. No negativity implied, but equating "deprecated" to "depreciated" is insular. It is okay to be wrong, I have been wrong (George Foreman Grill dissenter..."it drips fat in the front? Gross."). I am not sure what your native language is, and I wish I did so we could communicate, but it is like calling a "warning" as "decay" in English (US).

Typo corrected.
Yes, you could safely ignore the stats, but it's the reality that facebook is extremely (I mean too much) popular in my country and that slot machine is packed with endless dopamine.
What kind of excuse is that?

Are you going to stick to that when one of your Nimitz class carriers is sitting on the bottom of the Pacific and China and Russia have occupying forces on mainland USA?
Companies like Apple are just greedy, for the cheap labor, the market shares as well as no need to pay for the environment costs. however, it's short sighted, they really need to realize that CCP is always hunger for power. Sooner or later, they can use their money and market to first influence, then eventually own or destroy if they don't think they have full control of you.

For the whole world, people need to wake up too. just do some research on the Chinese textbooks from elementary school to college, and see what kind of mindsets they are instilling to their population, you will realize this is a monster.
AI is a wider field than you think. Hell, even the A* algorithm for path planning was considered AI.
> What we figured out, was the mosquitos are attracted to CO2.

Yes, unfortunately, the usual meaning of a concentration of CO2 is that there's an animal nearby exhaling it.
> BLM is easy to speak about and acts as good marketing for them.

Considering a good chunk of the US population (15-30%?) is vocally "anti-BLM" - it is somewhat ballsy for a high-profile company to wear pro-BLM in their corporate messaging - I'm sure we've all seen people on Facebook vow to boycott Apple or other "liberal" organizations.

The picture with the tape library makes me wonder why we only have the option of the small tape cartridges of today. It would be super cool to have a horizontal arrangement of say 20 such “tape wheels” each with their own R/W head. Imagine the capacity such a unit would achieve with today’s tape medium! Our LTO-8 tape cartridge holds 12 TB of incompressible data. Imagine a wheel that big could hold somewhere like 100 TB or so. If you put 10 of them in a horizontal row, with 10 heads, you get a PB archival machine..

I’d feel badly of our tape robot now.
Let's dont forget that the US invasions of the Middle East have a significant contribution to the camps in China.
> What they actually fear ...

That's a baseless claim not related to the original comment. Why are you making things up and trying to derail productive discussion like this?
As far as I know, Truffle is able to do some absolutely incredible compile-time optimizations —- reaching deeply into what we would normally regard as strictly semantic territory.

(For an example, see some of the optimizations done by TruffleRuby for things like `myArray.sort.first` - which it apparently optimizes by terminating the sort as soon as the first element is sorted to the front of the array... and all that without any special hints in the standard library. Please correct me if I’m wrong... it’s been a few years since I’ve read in depth about TruffleRuby. And granted this example isn’t Java, but I imagine there are great parallels there.)
Obsidian has been the biggest help for me here. Originally I was going to set up a Wiki for work journaling, but I found it was a pain in the butt to get working nicely.. Obs worked out of the box, and supported things like Screenshot and File pasting. Yummers!
Do you really think agitating for World War III was productive to start with? I pointed out rationally and straightforwardly where such extreme opinions come form.

- In an OO language, you can add a new case by creating another subclass and implementing the methods. But, if you want to add a new function to a datatype, you have to add it to the superclass and implement it on all the existing subclasses, which means modifying a lot of files and recompiling most of the program.

- In a FP language you can add a new function to an existing datatype just by adding a function. But, if you want to add a new case, you have to add the constructor and modify all the functions that use the datatype, which means modifying a lot of files and recompiling most of the program.

...and by using multiple dispatch (as in Julia) you can do both. And it just works. True code reuse. Why did it take us so long to recognise this?
Another very thorough analysis I can recommend is Jordan Peterson's youtube series called "Psychological significance of biblical stories". There are about 10 2-3 hour lectures, but they are packed with great content and original thoughts. People think JP is some political activist because of his media portrayal, but in his core he is a student of a much more substantial content that has little to do with politics.

In defense of the OP, fair balance: a counter complaint

What is frustrating about this comment is that it inevitably commands the top of the HN thread, "for the 8-zillionth time", because its author's moniker automatically attracts "upvotes" due its familiarity, not because the comment is the most interesting.

That said, this comment is probably worthy of being at the top since the E2E debate is indeed a tired one and that sentiment probably has many sympathisers. However, as someone else pointed out, Gates brought this up, not HN. And it does directly relate to discussions about COVID on Facebook (WhatsApp) and the ability to censor them. Of course, there is also the argument that newcomers to HN will not know all the past discussions of E2E, nor are they expected to read them before commenting. We regularly see HN re-post items that have previously been submitted, re-opening discussions that are old hat, inviting us to re-hash them.

While some readers may grow tired of seeing the same topics discussed over and over again, other readers may grow tired of seeing the same usernames at the top of so many threads, over and over again, no matter what their comments.
Playstation State of Play premiere game was ‘stolen,’ developers allege
If we are collectively incapable of making any difference in this terrible transformation, then we could do the next thing CCP will hate: do a proper study of how population’s behavior changes as it transitions from a free mentality to the oppressed state mainland’s had been in for years. This is the chance.

I'm not aware of any precedents to date, but a rigorous scientific record of this kind would be extremely valuable as a reference proof against future gaslighting and dubious arguments.

The process is already under way, anecdotally some normally outgoing folks (Hongkongers and involved) are reluctant to post this on social media or discuss it with you unless they trust the channel.
Why is this downvoted? We have three major credit bureaus, and only just recently one got hacked and leaked everyone's info. Finance in the US is full of third-party jackasses that make money by doing nothing other than acting as gatekeepers. It's the definition of rent-seeking.
Endure.

It's a very mixed bag.

We lost lots of good paying jobs, we lost the rollout of ISDN, which would have spend up offering high speed network access, we lost hundreds of millions spent on basic research.

We gained, a bunch of openness, mobility, and access to a wider breadth of services. It's still a mixed bag.
Apple isn't running for election. Apple doesn't answer to the US population--it answers to its shareholders.

With that in mind, taking a clear moral stance against China's attack on democracy/human rights is far riskier than BLM branding, especially when you consider who is actually paying for Apple products.

What are your reasons to state that so strongly as if it's a fact?
There is SEPA instant in Europe which is quite recent. But most banks charge to send money through it or have not implemented the sending part yet.
Yeah, completely. Competition and alternative approaches are what pushes us forward. The fanboi culture of “*BSD is dying”, “use Chrome” etc. which tech communities seem to encourage makes it worse.

Keep doing it the hard way, trying something different and running your code on a different browser and OS. In the long run, Windows and the BSDs have done a lot to make Linux good, in the same way that Android and iOS push each other forward. I’m just hoping folks keep adopting Firefox.
? The US has never invaded a country for the stated purpose of 'Democracy'. Moving an occupied nation 'on the path of liberalisation and democracy' has always been a 'side goal' but obviously not achievable in most contexts. Like Kuwait. But it obviously was in Korea, Japan, most of Eastern Europe.

And the OP is cynical, it takes a lot for the US to mount a proper. Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, and post 9/11 Iraq part 2 + policing actions in Afghanistan are relatively big deals.

For the most part, there's no reason for the US and China to 'go to war'. What would they go to war over? The sheer physicality doesn't provide the opportunity.

Except for Taiwan - which China will go to great lengths to nab, and the US/West may or may not go to great lengths to defend. Even then I don't see war.

China will is not going to otherwise mount a military invasion of anything, it would be too costly. Their version of 'invasion' is called the 'Belt and Road' and it's ensuing corruption.
In popular Western tellings of this piece of history, it's usually portrayed as a comic book evil conspiracy by the Chinese government. In actuality, it probably reflects an internal power struggle within the party at the time, where some politicians (among them Mao Zedong) were interested in a process of democratization, whereas others feared for their positions. The fact that a lot of the criticism that was made by the citizens was considerably more fundamental than even Mao had expected eventually eroded Mao's position to the point where he was forced to back down.

This obviously doesn't change the fact that the CPC at the time, like the CPC of today, is a dictatorial organization that should never be supported. But the quotes in your post very much play into the "evil conspiracy" angle, and I think it's important to tell history in a way that reflects the actual power dynamics instead of cloak-and-dagger tales.
At this point you could create a drinking game based on each iteration of whataboutism or conflation of criticism of the CCP with racism.

Hacker News has been a big part of my life. I get more solid news, opinions, insights and suggestions than any other site although now I'm finding reddit depending on sub can have high caliber contributors too.

However, I'm curious and unable to find what the demo's are for this site. Does anyone know or can point to a recent survey may be?

Just great stuff here (most of the time ;-).
> agitating for World War III

I read the original comment as being against it but wondering if it's an inevitable outcome. That's a very reasonable thing to want to discuss - many of the respondents here (including myself) appear not to share the view that it's inevitable.

> I pointed out rationally and straightforwardly

You mean the part where you literally made things up about what the other party thought?
> Startup time? Granted. Anything else? Not so much.

Startup time matters a lot especially for Java applications. The reason Java never got to the desktop (including browser) I believe was the startup time.

Startup time matters a lot also for micro-services.

A 2nd great benefit of GraalVM I think is it makes it easy to integrate programs written in different languages, say Node.js and Java for instance.
Not washing your hands properly or not being socially distant enough are not counterproductive, they are just unproductive. No-one thinks that less social distance gives you more protection, while wearing an inefficient mask may have the opposite of the desired effect. You're mixing up the "too much anything is bad for you" trope with a serious caveat that has caused whole countries to recommend against face masks.

>If China lets HK go independent..

But HKers aren't even asking for full independence. They want to retain the democracy and freedom they've had so far.

And the parallels with Soviet Union's collapse is debatable. At that point Soviet Union was on the brink of economic disaster, while China is at the height of their military and economic power.

That China has nukes is not relevant because there's no impetus for the US to be 'invading' China whatsoever.

Other than of course a standoff in Korea 60 years ago, the US and China are not military adversaries.
It is easy because it gives them marketing reach inside US, they won't get the same in PRC.

A vocal segment might complaint on Apple, but where would they run to, Google's Android? Google is also pro BLM. All big tech are.

I'm pretty sure skin colour isn't related to poverty, maybe you can blame chairman Mao for that.

So you suggest all the bad things happened to Uyghurs and Han people can be justified with economic growth? That's just a lame argument used by the CCP all the time.

Unlike the US, China hasn't been interested in exporting its form of government since the Cold War. If anything, they'd prefer if their rivals stayed more democratic and free, so it's easier to make money and spread propaganda there.

Also keep in mind that China is making way more enemies than friends these days, so there is no way the world is going to be China-centric to the extent that you're worried about.

I have to ask, how is that destroying democracy? It may or may not be leading the nation down a negative path, something that I suspect we disagree on based on your phrasing.

However, if people vote and their votes actually influence government, as discussed elsewhere in the thread, isn't that democracy following it's path?

Yes, it was. Bell was operating under a consent decree dating from 1956 which prohibited it from doing much beyond phones and telegrams. Bell didn't want to piss of the government, so it played it safe and declined to enter the software business when Unix was first developed, allowing it to spread on a more informal basis, including the source code. It did enter the software and Unix business when the consent decree expired, leading to System III and System V, which were closed-source.

Historically, China has never been an aggressively expansionist actor. Don't know if the CCP China would abide by the same values though
I don't see this comparison.

PRC has total control over mainland China. There is 0 risk of fragmentation.

HK is a separate entity in every sense, so is Taiwan.

USSR collapsed because its economic and political system crumbled from the inside, enabling Poland et. al. to get out from under their thumb, which is what they always wanted to do.

If China had economic turmoil, mainland would stay intact in one way or another.
> This enables a lot of fraud: I once saw someone apply for a rewards (credit) card in a US store with SSN and no photo ID ("Oh I left my drivers license at home, could you take a student ID?")

They could have also just done it online in the US and not needed any photo ID to begin with.

As an aside, I assume the student ID had a photo on it, although accepting it begs the question of whether the teller is able to distinguish authentic and fake ones, although this is a problem for obscure state IDs as well.
Traditionally, it was more local than that: It was done on a community level. But it is becoming increasingly an administrative process because the previous system was too obviously arbitrary.

I think a lot of comments here are missing the fact that one could reimplement the config file handling library and atomic file update library in less time than it took to track down the package responsible for the bug and root cause it.

I’ve found such issues are the common case for libraries written in languages that encourage tons of tiny dependencies.
I was in Shanghai in the winter, and I definitely heard some criticism of Xi in particular. I agree that people don't really like to talk about the party, but even that depends on context and setting.

There is definitely a cultural barrier there, around what "politics" even means and the role it should play. Most Chinese people are very jaded in general, and consider all politics, in China and abroad, to be nothing but an expression of entrenched power. As a result, democracy is often seen as an unachievable ideal that also doesn't exist in the west, particularly not in the USA.

In effect, this also means that Westerner's questions about Chinese politics can appear nonsensical or even naive to Chinese people. This is also why people are more likely to talk about corruption, as that is an evil that is considered possible to fight against.

> he thinks the prospect of there being a single non-white country not being crushingly poor "makes his hair stand on end"

As I previously pointed out, that is absolutely not what was said. Please stop making things up.

Concern was expressed about the racism against those who are not Han which currently exists in China. The original commenter professed a fear of what that would look like for outsiders in a China-centric world.

You appear (IMO) to be trying to distract from the fact that there is racism within China today. (As there is, of course, in many other places to varying extents - including but certainly not limited to the US.)
