Yes, that's the argument, but I'm sure that the CCP will say that it's not accurate and they're imprisoned at a much higher frequency than other groups because of their behavior, not because of their ethnicity or religion.

The problem becomes more obvious when you look at incarceration rates in the US. Of course, the US says "that's not racist, they just commit more crimes". And we (as in "Western societies") tend to believe that because the alternative is uncomfortable. There's a pretty vocal movement in the US that disputes that claim and alleges that the fact that wealthy and powerful people profit from prison labor is responsible for a) the rate of incarceration in general and b) the differences in incarceration rates.

I don't know whether they are right, but once you start going down that route, you better be prepared to walk for a while. If you don't (that is if you treat the Chinese behavior different from US behavior), you're going to do more harm than good, I believe, because people will understand that your talk of human rights is just a weapon in economical/political/military conflicts, and not a principle you believe in.
> Boox are GPL violators though.

Hadn't heard of this. Can you provide some references? A quick DDG search didn't turn up anything.
> Which seems to contradict what the article says, since the article suggests anyone who registered my `firstnamelastname@gmail.com` would own mine.

It doesn't.
firstnamelastname@gmail.com is also your address. Nobody could have registred it.

> Or is the article suggesting actually nobody ever registered `firstnamelastname@gmail.com` and some idiots just think "oh i need to write to firstname lastname" (one of many who share my firstname/lastname in French) and they just compose that email address? I don't get it.

Yes, that's what is happening. If you get unintended emails, their intended destination is yet another address.
I was looking at larger laptops to run Linux but they aren't cheap so MBP doesn't look such bad value. I want 15in screen with higher than 1080 resolution, 16GB memory, good battery life and there really isn't much less than $1500 from the main brands that will run Linux well. Any suggestions? Otherwise the MBP16 looks not such bad value as I know it'll be reliable.
I remember somebody saying Ham is just a bunch of grumpy old retired guys complaining about the government. Someone else said wait, we aren't all retired!
I had the same problem with the article. The article gives me vibes like a shady Indiegogo campaign:

- Very professional looking photos, full with filters. Still hard to figure out how it exactly looks. For example how big is it? 10cm? 20cm? The studio setting with nothing else in the background makes it hard to guess.

- strange-non existing buzzwords like "Mil-Plastic"
I'm not saying it's not possible, but if you're an open source advocate, why do you bother with Adobe and their subscriptions? As someone who dabbles in a lot of raster graphics on the side, after the learning curve of switth, I'm just as productive using GIMP, darktable, Hugin, Krita, and Inkscape.
The part about recovery and the lack of a universal undo/back function and instead offloading it to the developer, resulting in an inconsistent mess really drives the point home.

What's most telling is how even Apple often does an astonishingly bad job at it - it really sets the precedent regarding diminished importance.

As an exercise: Browse the App Store for a while and count the number of different ways it implements "go back one step".
Government data should not be monetized.
The big problem with git for word is that git is not designed for the population in general. Using git is not easy, even for developers. Although powerful and flexible, it has a very complicated workflow that is too close to its implementation. In my opinion it is just like wishing that the general population use LaTeX instead of Word.
This is an over-simplified view of the market. The market isn't a zero-sum game. It's often in an investor's best interests to publish their research on a position (after they have taken it) to convince others to jump in the trade with them. It doesn't do you any good to find a diamond in the rough if no one else knows about it.

It is a minefield though and you should never 100% trust one source on any given investment, but to act like there is some kind of mathematical truth that no one ever publishes any useful stock analysis is just silly.
What you say is true to an extent. If you do not need the full power of uBlock Origin, may I suggest using NextDNS.io with added blocking filters (many popular filter lists are available there)? The other option would be a Pi-Hole. To reiterate, these are not full replacements for uBlock Origin, but they do help even when using uBlock Origin with a browser like Firefox.
It’s just like the general rule of the Internet - Don’t read the comments. The purpose of LinkedIn for me is a Rolodex of former coworkers and a curated list of local recruiters. I have a separate email for LinkedIn. I would go through it once a week to see if there was anything interesting.

I have a very light profile up.
Yes the article mentions as an admin you could remove the dots but they always matter.
It seems weird to label consumer preferences (liking paper books) that don't align with yours as advocating for rent-seeking. Arguably, selling digital media is the ultimate form rent-seeking, since the marginal cost is nearly zero and you're often paying for "access" to content. At least with paper books you get a physical product (and resale rights) with your purchase.
If you use the + character (e.g. `firstlast+subscriptions`) it'll still arrive to your `firstlast` inbox, but will allow you to filter it more meaningfully.
Over here at least (Sweden), there are around 10 channels that are allocated to hunting radio and PMR, which you can use without a license.
I am not sure what you mean. As bad as it is, systemd actually supports running stuff on wakeup. One figures, it has support for everything.
Some states have privatized their distribution of drivers licenses. Can you be surprised this is happening? Even the People’s Republic of California is profiting off selling this data and it is of course a state owned operation.
I am sorry, but I find it ridiculous to claim that X220Ts had "great build quality".

When the X2x0 series were released we did complain A LOT about the drop in quality and reminisce about the good old Lenovo times. And of course people already complained about the Lenovo times vs IBM. And I ponder if people used to complain about the drop of quality in IBM times...

But seriously, the X220T specifically is crap. We bought 4 of them and NONE of them survived the first year, with a myriad of failures, including mute microphone/webcam, broken display flex cable, and screen that would not stand in place (it would just fall instead of staying open). Lenovo then replaced them with X230Ts and ALL of them had this issue where the microphone would have a terrible electric noise when the webcam was on (common issue too, google for it). By the time the X240 was released, we just gave up -- no trackpoint click buttons!!! what were they thinking!
Right. In addition to Walmart, I think Shopify also has a chance at taking on Amazon, from a different angle. More broadly, all big retailers seem to target Amazon as a common enemy.
Reset their account passwords.
Minis are also common in homelabs. Small, cheap when used (even cheaper if it's your own old machine), and natively runs a Unix-like environment for each management and can easily boot into Linux instead. I suspect the switch to Apple silicon is going to change that, however.
I was converting Markdown to PDF with pandoc before I started writing straight LaTeX.

It's worth noting here that I'm writing layout in LaTeX also - like controlling the number of columns, where breaks exist, etc.

It still slow down neophytes to try it.
I run Brave on Android with scripts blocked. It's such a joy. It blocks most ads and even allows allows you to read articles that otherwise would require payment. I'm not exactly saying it bypasses paywalls, though.

If I browse the same sites on Chrome for Windows my CPU goes to 100%. It's awful.
It's hard to agree with that line of reason. In my observation, GenX marketed themselves as the generation of apathy, and so eventually people became apathetic about them.
Again, I have disagreements with him.

But Japan has been in a bad place for decades. Abenomics, though it has not achieved the results it was aiming for, was an attempt. Trying to restore Japan’s standing army is another bold attempt. Bringing about big changes is something to be admired.
I agree that's a big deal, but there are many good things in safari like it is very efficient, even with many tabs Safari ends up consuming very low processing power and thus longer battery life, chrome on the other hand is just a memory hog constantly recording every move and sending it to Google, it really feels like a spyware. Which is why I use Safari 99% of the time except when it is not supported or I need a special extension for which I use Firefox.

Yes, many offshore windfarms will do this. At about 40GBp, in somewhat current tendering (Contract for difference (CFD) auction round 3, UK). Although normally on a 15 year period (for arbitrary reasons Hinkley Point C was allowed a 35 year period and did not participate in the 2015 CFD auction).

I think anyone would love to offer a CFD over a 35 year timeline, only HinkleyPoint C (and Sizewell C in the same agreement) where offered these conditions. i.e it makes financing much easier.

HinkleyPoint C is in planning since 2008 or so, not exactly a quick process.
Real construction since 2018 (but some prep work done in the decade leading up to this.)
Expected generation is in 2025/2026.
This sounds bad but is actually decent, 10 years from idea to generation is common and outliers exist in both directions.
Aka cool tricks to do with C.
Sometimes you are buying more than just a book and human expertise still has a value. I'll give you an example, I was very pleased to see a local music store flourishing mid pandemic, as I feared they might go under. I purchased an instrument knowingly at a considerable markup because they had a ton of knowledge I needed and I was able to ask many questions. I know that if I decided to go in and ask all of those same questions but then instead of buying it at Art's Music, I decide to find the lowest bidder online, it is only a matter of time before Art and his expertise disappear from the market. I'm afraid there aren't enough people supporting Art to keep human expertise relevant these days. Amazon may provide a very good service now but once all competition is gone what incentive is there to provide the same level of service?
"Make money in the long run" is a fine strategy, but as Keynes quipped "in the long run, we're all dead". 17 years is more than enough time have exploited quite a few long-term deals.

It isn't like governments aren't aware of these tactics. They can and do work to substitute out vendors once they get too expensive. In fact I've heard whispers of several customers of Palantir doing just that.

(Disclosure: I work for a competitor of Palantir.)
> discover how to craft shit in a game

If you're refering to Minecraft, one of the reasons why Minecraft blew up that much was that it was around at the exact right time in history: when online gaming had become viable and let's-plays were just becoming a thing. Minecraft, as originally intended, is a communal experience where you learn from the friends you're playing with and from sources on the internet. If I had to describe Minecraft in one sentence, it would be "let me show you that cool thing I saw Pewdiepie do last week". The idea has become commonplace in video gaming at this point, but back then it was fairly new.

(That said, opaque game experiences have been successful before, like the original Legend of Zelda. I guess the schoolyard served a similar purpose back then.)
Measles is another example.
> How many Muslims did China actually kill? [...] I don't think anyone has ever produced any evidence that a literal genocide is happening. Mass incarceration? Perhaps. Brainwashing? Maybe. Genocide? Highly dubious.

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article II:

“genocide means any of the following acts committed with
intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as
such:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”

“Mass incarceration” with children forcibly transferred to boarding schools run by people outside of the group and “brainwashing”, together, seem to qualify for (b), (c), (d), (e), even if (a) is missing.

Reproducibility is a huge one for me. I’m often doing exploratory work that I’ll want to save in its current state and pick back up a few months (or even years) later. With Jupyter, this almost never works because I am constantly editing and running cells out of order as I’m exploring things. If I save at any given point, there is no guarantee that the notebook will be in the same state when I reopen it and re-run the cells.

With Pluto and other reactive notebooks, you have a guarantee that the code you see on the screen will produce the same results. So if you go back and edit cells out of order, save the notebook, then open it and re-run later, it will always be in the same state you left it in.
What a weird take. Every administration before our current one appeased China despite their obvious human rights issues. This is the first admin to challenge the issue.
Oddly, you failed to mention all of Europe. they have a lower unemployment rate than the US [1].

The point of bad propaganda is your submission to it. Once they can get you to accept and then repeat the obvious, ridiculous lies, they have a foothold in your mind.

I just wanted to provide some backgrounds.
This article only briefly mentions that co-morbidities (obesity, hypertenstion, etc) are important but doesn't use them for data analysis.

So I don't think anyone can determine their risk from this article. It is much higher or lower depending on whether or not you have co-morbidities.
Do they actually promote this in their webpage? I didn't see it anywhere.
Yup. The internet is supposed to be "dumb" in the middle and "smart" at the edges. These app stores are centralized points of failure.

What Kazakh, Kyrgyz and Hui Muslims have in common with the Uighur here is that they are fellow minorities from Xinjiang who were also subjected to Han domination only recently. Moreover, the Kazakh population is often seen as a fifth column due to a titular republic for their own people being located right next door.

Citing Shohrat Zakir is disingenuous. In the Soviet Union it was common for people to point to members of the ethnic minorities placed in official roles and say "See, there is no discrimination or oppression”, and the exact same phenomenon holds for contemporary China though it is much less talked about. But those ethnic-minority bureaucrats or politicians invariably made compromises: they did not particularly insist on using their own language in officialdom or defending the rights of their ethnic kin to do the same, and when they did publicly use their native language it was merely in the service of propaganda initiatives directed by the central government. But those Communist Party members who have insisted on the dignity of China’s minority languages and called for resisting Han assimilation have, as I said, suffered persecution for it.

The Uighur definitely have been independent-minded. Regardless of military collaboration with the Qing, the average Uighur would not have had so much exposure to Han culture and language until recent decades.
For those of you who are downvoting this comment, it would be much more productive if you just reply and speak your mind here.
Yeah, I'm saying the original site should change their title.
Safari supports content blockers, which are basically lists of content to block. AFAIK, there's also a limit (50K, IIRC?) to the number of rules that can be bundled within one extension. With the popular lists used with an extension like uBlock Origin, 50K is quite a small number. So multiple extensions would be required to get close to uBlock Origin, even if we dismiss element blocking rules and other features that uBlock Origin offers.
This is also misleading. He had access to data on 200 million people. He didn't sell that many records.
Ah, sorry! I misunderstood what you meant. You are correct.

You're likely aware that you can get CB/MURS/FRS type radios without a license, but that wouldn't help that much. It would be nice to have a small slice of each ham band that would be available to non-licensed folks, but the hardware would be tricky, you'd have high physical capability (and cost) but it would have to be locked down to basically a 'slice selector', speaker and microphone...basically what you get with FRS radios.

Neat idea though!
I know about them. But I would have to root my phone to install them. And that means trusting some binary blob from someone on the internet. So I would not do it.
> I like the reactive notebook concept. It does really help with bugs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse
" The Fediverse (a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe") is the ensemble of federated (i.e. interconnected) servers that are used for web publishing (i.e. social networking, microblogging, blogging, or websites) and file hosting, but which, while independently hosted, can communicate with each other. On different servers (instances), users can create so-called identities. These identities are able to communicate over the boundaries of the instances because the software running on the servers supports one or more communication protocols which follow an open standard. As an identity on the fediverse, users are able to post text and other media, or to follow posts by other identities. In some cases, users can even show or share data (video, audio, text, and other files) publicly or to a selected group of identities and allow other identities to edit other users' data (such as a calendar or an address book)."

The weird take is going after LeBron James like it is his job to conduct international diplomacy, while giving Trump a break on his personal Chinese business interests.
Recommend not going with the pinebook pro for real work. It is an excellent concept and I bought one to both support the cause and have an interesting toy. That’s about all it is though. Most significantly the trackpad is rubbish. It’s the worst I’ve ever used.
I've been using this trick for a while (usually 'firstlast+per_service_identifier') and I've encountered more than a few systems which erroneously claim that any email address containing a '+' is invalid.

OP of that post has an ad at the bottom for their product that I actually found compelling.

It's a screencast tool- but instead of putting a video of your face in the corner, it overlays/ghosts your face on top of the full screen you're sharing.

Now sure how well it would work in practice. Maybe it's too distracting.

But it looks like a neat thing to try.
Well we can find out: https://floridajobs.org/workforce-statistics/workforce-stati... shows 11.3% as latest numbers for Florida, https://apps.texastribune.org/features/2020/texas-unemployme... shows 8.4% for Texas (fallen for the third month in a row), and https://www.azpm.org/p/home-articles-news/2020/8/26/179229-n... shows 10.6% for Arizona. https://patch.com/new-york/new-york-city/nyc-unemployment-ra... shows New York is at 20%, and https://edd.ca.gov/newsroom/unemployment-august-2020.htm shows California's is 13.3%. So those three are still doing better (although it wasn't Trump who pushed them to lock down so again I don't see how it makes sense to blame him for the effects of lockdown).
I disagree. For fiction, at least, used bookstores let you find some obscure stuff for cheap, and a book can pass through many hands and develop its own story along the way. Some of this stuff isn't available digitally.

I don't think ebooks are a definitive gain over physical. For fiction, I like being able to read them on my phone, and I like Kindle's X-Ray and other features on highlight (who is this character again??). Otherwise, books are damn good. For technical books, I vastly prefer paper, though.

The online ebook market is being swarmed by authors gaming the system. The number of them who split their book into a 12-book "series" that all managed to get released in a year, for instance. Tons of shovelware.

There's just also nothing like a good second-hand bookstore, with it's chill vibe and tactile product.

Finally, kids books should be physical, forever. I don't let my kids read on a tablet or other device, ever.
And you can get a replacement battery for $70. I got one for my 6s after two years before the whole batterygate thing started because it wasn’t holding a charge. Between my son and I, we kept it for four years. The only reason I didn’t keep it for another year was because I wanted a larger phone with a larger battery.
I strongly believe that focus on drivers is a red herring born from inaccurate sci-fi.

Drivers are necessary anyway, because humans can adapt to more situations. Roadblock? The driver (of the autonomous vehicle) can call dispatch to warn the next vehicles, reroute, and get the blockage handled. Bandits? They can detect and assess the danger, call police, and de-escalate the situation.

But truly autonomous vehicles can drive while the driver sleeps. That alone means reduced latency for the transport of goods over large distances. Even better, drivers can handle multiple vehicles following each other, which means increased bandwidth.
I agree that mac trackpads are better. I only really use it for a bit of web browsing though, I don't touch a mouse during most of my development flow at all. The trackpoint is pretty good as well as an alternative.
this is an obviously bad analogy. trump is clearly a moron, and also holds the most powerful position in the world. those are not contradictory in any way.
