>I do not want to lose business and professional opportunities because I am not Han.

I don't think this will be as big of a problem as you expect it to be. Do you have any western Han friends who do business in China? Being Han isn't going to stop others from trying to screw you over, even if you aren't Western.

If you're actually worried, then your main concern should be learning Mandarin.

I think only a few demographics will experience the racism that you fear.

Here's the deal. For all practical purposes, Linux kernel code is maintained by sub-system maintainers, linus is just a stamp-head who merges everything provided by these guys and resolve conflicts, if there any.

These guys are veterans in maintaining the sub-systems and make sure code base is clean enough based on linus' guidelines.

> if you sink to the 90th percentile of privilege from the 99th, you'll become a "second class human"

That isn't what the person you're responding to said at all. They were observing the discrimination against those who are not Han in China and extrapolating that it would apply to them as well in a China-centric world.

They don't want to be discriminated against. That's all that's being said. (Well also they're saying that they appreciate freedom of speech and some other stuff that China seems to be diametrically opposed to, but you didn't respond to that so I guess it's not relevant to my comment.)
yes because we have democracy, a constitution, and a working court system and free speech.

china has none of that

Apple has spoken extensively about why they choose to manufacture in China.

If you had to quantify how much Apple supporting BLM has helped decrease racism, it's probably very close to zero. Voicing their support for Hong Kong would accomplish even less. Why would they jeopardize potential billions of dollars to do so?

Same-day wire transwers were already common in Germany in the last few years with the old system (the settlement is done every few hours), except for a few slow banks.

SEPA Instant is literally settled in a few seconds. I tried this out a while ago: Started the money transfer from one bank account to another, logged in into my second bank account immediately after and the money was already there.
I worked with mainframes and superminis back in the 70s. My first job was night computer operator.

Computer operator: scheduling and monitoring jobs, managing the print spool (queue) printing reports, stripping (removing carbon paper) and collating, sometimes swapping disk packs, loading/unloading tapes, running backups. And making sure the computer didn’t crash or halt. The minis and mainframes I worked on generally ran one job at a time, and the jobs might have a sequence, reading from and writing to disk or tape.

We kept transistor radios on top of the computer cabinets. Each job made a distinctive sound, as did runaway programs (infinite loops, for example). A halted computer did not make a sound so the radio was an early warning that something wasn’t right.

Tape librarian: magnetic tapes degrade over time from use, stretching, humidity. The tape librarian cataloged the contents and sequence of tapes, how many times they were used, their age. When a tape had too many errors or got to end of life the tape librarian would schedule a duplicate job.
How did you get residency? Another guy from AZ (?) was denied entry into Romania after overstaying his visa and then he moved to Moldova and now the unrecognuzed PMR, aka Transnistria after trying other EU countries.

You are right. reading a precious book from them is an great exp.

Although writing a book vs posting a tweet has enormous differential, I think writing a blog post or an essay has somewhat between and constantly update-able.

As for me, writing an essay to share what I experience this month is a lot of work.

May be it's the same for others in general?
>I'm not sure bars existed in the times of Black Death

depends what you mean by a bar?

In the UK, taverns certainly existed prior to the Black Death (1346 – 1353). For instance:

Amazing if Apple actually did that it will be huge. The CCP is going rogue and hostile towards worlds peace. We all must come together to boycott them.

There's the Archimedean oath https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_Oath

Considering the life of Archimedes of Syracuse who illustrated the ambiguous potential of technology since the Antiquity,
Considering the growing responsibility of engineers and scientists towards societies and nature,
Considering the importance of the ethical problems stemming from technology and its applications,
Today, I commit to the following statements and shall endeavor to reach towards the ideal that they represent:

I shall practice for the good of humankind, respecting human rights1 and the environment.

I shall recognize the responsibility for my actions, after informing myself to the best of my abilities, and shall in no case discharge my responsibilities on another person.

I shall endeavor to perfect my professional abilities
When choosing and implementing projects, I shall remain wary of their context and their consequences, notably in their technical, economic, social and ecological aspects. I shall give particular attention to projects with military applications.

I shall contribute, to the extent of my abilities, to promote equitable relationships between people and to support the development of economically weaker countries.

I shall transmit, with rigor and honesty, to discerningly chosen interlocutors, any important information, if it constitutes a gain for society or if its retention constitutes a danger for others. In the latter case, I shall ensure that the communication yields concrete action.

I shall not let myself be governed by the defense of my own interests or those of my corporation.

I shall endeavor, to the best of my abilities, to lead my company to take into account the preoccupations of the present oath.

I shall practice my profession in complete intellectual honesty, with conscience and dignity.

I solemnly take this oath, freely and on my honor."

> Buffett knows well that there's no better way to put a moat around your business than to sell an addictive product.

What a weird sentence. This isn't even slightly true. And drugs are the perfect example of a product that can't be differentiated and so is subject to brutal competition and the existing sellers are frequently replaced by their competition (from prescription generics to local street dealers to cartels). Ultimately it is so bad that the sellers rely on more coercive approaches to prevent competition (patent law and extreme violence respectively).

Dry ice is really easy to handle. If you don't swallow it, the main danger is letting it sublimate in an enclosed space as that'll fill said space with CO2, but we are very sensitive to CO2 levels (unlike CO or N2) so the danger is low there, just don't be a complete moron.

Seriously, dry ice sublimates so when you hold a block or pieces unless you actually grip the thing, the layer of sublimating CO2 protects your hand rather well. Use gloves or tools if you're going to move large amounts (e.g. dozens of blocks by hand, or pellets by the literal fistful) both to protect your hand and to avoid wasting your dry ice more than necessary.

But as far as "dangerous" things go, dry ice is really low on the scale.

The biggest danger is putting too much in a completely sealed and locked environment as the sublimation will cause significant expansion, increase in pressure, and therefore a possible explosion.
There's no excuse for killing civilians in war but there's a definite difference between doing that and putting people in concentration camps because of their religion.
So, subscriptions are possible - just programmatically request a payment on a recurring basis.

As a consumer I actually prefer this approach because I get a payment request that I must explicitly accept for my subscription to be renewed, as opposed to forgetting about a subscription and have it show up on my bank statement.

For example: Every month Netflix sends me a payment request asking me to pay for another month's service.

Perhaps they could allow for auto-withdrawing to reduce friction for subscriptions you definitely know you want, but I strongly feel this request-before-withdrawing model should be the default for any subscription service and anything else should be explicit opt-in.

I support this if that is the intention, I was just speculating that the reason is just the points I mentioned and not Apple looking to calling it quits over some ideals.
This is a pretty bad take. Rachel has said implicitly that there was no version with a fix available and explicitly that working with the maintainers to get a fix is often unreasonably difficult. This matches my own experience fairly well. So your ‘normal people’ solution won’t work.

You may also want to consider that there are good reasons for engineers and engineering management to be default suspicious of 3rdparty dependencies at large companies such as those you’ve listed. These reasons have nothing to do with peacocking or demonstrating high IQ (replicating things available elsewhere is not a way to demonstrate your intelligence, it turns out). They have much more to do with the high bar for security consciousness, unique need to deal with scale or low performance tolerance, or extreme organizational risk associated with being a company with a target on your back for every major hacker, researcher, regulator, journalist, or self-proclaimed watchdog — not to mention operating under several consent decrees already.
The "discrimination" they fear is no longer automatically being worshipped the second they step foot in a non-Western country, for being the richest guy in every room. In other words, what they actually fear is dropping from 99th percentile to 90th, and they think that possibility is worth starting World War III over.

That attitude is typical, and precisely why people in China find the West so unconvincing.
Out of curiosity I dug up some of the research, at least as of 6 months ago (haven't found anything more recent) it's fair to say that overall APAC leans towards "unfavorable" in its attitude towards China.

Favorability is down double digits from 2018 in APAC (though strangely up double digits in parts of europe).

So "only china believes china's narrative" isn't super technically correct but I think the general sentiment is accurate.

I believe geopolitics were a significant part of the last POTUS election. The parties are split based on their constituents relative anxiety over Russia. Also, Hillary's "no fly zone" over Russia's naval base in Syria seemed an important issue too.
To me this argument sounds a bit like a "only following orders" defence. I'm sure smart engineers ,I.e., all of them, can figure out what the application of their work will be.
And completely trackable
Consider that Apple's supply chain is centered around the PRC - if Apple PR ever says the /wrong/ then then Foxconn would immediately find their factories closed and Apple wouldn't have their latest iPhone available come October - and Christmas.

I'm surprised it took until very recently for Apple to start spinning-up alternative supply arrangements and manufacturing in other countries - I guess they expected that the PRC would improve their human-rights situation by now.
We should immediately end any special relation we have and apply PRC rules.

China uses HK to access world markets, to launder their money etc. - ending that ability would really hurt them a lot.

World nations have no qualms investing in HK entities, for PRC entities it's just a world of confusion.

HK is PRC so no more special privileges.

> Spain has states with relatively similar state/federal power to the USA. The EU has nation states with more or less power depending where you look. Australia has states, Canada has provinces...

None of these seem like very close comparisons to the US model. There isn't the same legal independence in Spain on a number of matters, from what I recall, but I'll see if I can find a source that provides a direct comparison. For starters, Spain could actually issue centralized coronavirus restrictions and has only recently devolved this to a limited degree to the autonomous communities.

A few EU countries may be more relevant, but I think the closest comparison I've found so far is with Switzerland where I currently live. However, the federalism in the US seems to involve a lot more infighting with frequent lawsuits between state and federal agencies.
> Now, if you're feeling fearful, you can drive with the windows down, but to be honest, carbon dioxide in too high of quantities will invoke a gasping/coughing reflex. You would have plenty of warning. You can verify this by putting a small chunk of dry ice in water, leaning over the cup, and inhaling. You'll cough, and that is the reflex to look for.

The mechanisms that regulate your breathing use carbon dioxide levels as their only input. One side effect of this is that you'll happily suffocate to death, never realizing anything is wrong, breathing a gas that contains no oxygen -- as long as it also contains no carbon dioxide.

A happier side effect is that you will definitely detect, and feel very unhappy about, inappropriately high levels of carbon dioxide.
Hiya, yea I read that. Thanks. It's similar what what Echo already has called "Guard." Which basically does the same by listening to everything.

I've turned off every option/security/erased history and never turned on Guard. So it should theoretically be sending up only after the wake word which again should be ridiculously small since all I say are, "turn on xxx light" or "turn off xxx plug" and only about 5-7 a day to single Dot.

they have an army of human listeners since Amazon's AI/ML isn't all that sophisticated and still rely on human interpretation and data collecting.

I just find it unacceptable for that much information is constantly being uploaded. You would think if they were to extract any information from my private residence I should know. Matter of fact, instead of blanketed statement like; "we collect information relevant..." they should literally show me what they're collecting and let me determine what they can use/have and can't.

Yea, convenience comes with a price but shouldn't be this much.
Water is not a good choice to optimize for this. Most energy from the ambient air gets consumed at the thawing point of the medium - 0 degrees for water. So water/ice will keep freezer at 0 degrees for longer, but that’s not an attractive goal for a freezer - you want some cooling medium that does the phase change at a colder temperature (adding copious amounts of salt to the water would go a long way)

Professional cooler packs can have that point down as far as -35 Celsius.
CCAN (C Code Archive Network) http://ccodearchive.net/ follows a similar philosophy. CCAN contains various small, self contained snippet of C code are meant to be be downloaded in a local directory ("vendored") and used directly or with small modifications.

The most straightforward way to use CCAN is to

1) `git clone` it in a subdir;

2) create a `config.h`;

3) include whatever `lib.h` you want in your project.

Updating these micro dependencies means doing `git pull`.

All libraries come with tests and a somewhat standardized API design.

What is missing (compared to your aims) is a declarative way to lock a dependency to a specific version.
This is going to be very unpopular.

History repeats itself. Just 30 years ago the Soviet Union was dissolved. If you study this dissolution process, you see that demonstrations and the ambition to sovereignty was nothing new in the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, but in comparison to the 50s, 60s and 70s, Gorbachev did not use military force to prevent countries from splitting off.

If China lets HK go independent, there is a chance of a chain reaction: Guangdong, Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia.. just to name a few. This would mean to total collapse of the PRC.

But in comparison to the USSR, China's economy is highly intertwined with the global economy.

I would even go that far and say that a successful HK independence movement could have the chance to lead to a total collapse of the global economy on a scale that makes this Corona recession look like a Kindergarden.

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE HK, I lived and worked there. I have also lived and worked in Mainland China. It is sad to see that HK will likely become just a random Chinese city and lose its uniqueness. I just wished that there would be a mutual process of this unification and China would move slower towards it, while HK would accept that the China of 2047 will look different from China today.
