Who cares? Lebron James and yourself are both adults capable of taking stances and acting on them regardless the actions and behaviors of the president of the US.
Actually, in a strange way LeBron James has way more power than Trump in regards to cultural pressure that can result in change. Trump has been using this issue as an excuse to ramp up pressure in the south china sea among other things, but people don’t believe him to actually care.

Your point of view is considered as racist by many people but I think it is true. It is a tragedy that these people are wanting to leave their homes, their countries. The real effort should go into solving the actual problem.

But I think the old colonial empires can take as many immigrants from their old colonies they want.

The problem begins when they start to force other countries to accept these people. Other countries that have nothing to do with the colonial past who itself were colonized and where people lived in great misery and under oppression.
Going down that route would backfire hard, unless you want to go openly for different laws for different people.

I.e. how would you convince European citizens that it's right to sanction Chinese businesses that profit from prison labor, but wrong to sanction US businesses that profit from prison labor?

Or ignore those Europeans ... how do you convince US citizens of it? Sounds like they're quite angry about the domestic problem right now.
> Touchpad is not close to Mac

I'm using l390 and the touchpad feels good for me. Never use mac, does mac's touchpad is considerably better?

EDIT: formatting
That doesn't mean they're anywhere close to self-driving. Anyone can start collecting data and do partially autonomous self-driving with a modest investment - this is a solved problem.
Your last paragraph is exactly the reason I enjoy being a ham (it's not an acronym, BTW). I get to tinker and constantly stretch my knowledge and technical skills.

I do the opposite now. I search for stuff on Amazon and then go to Best Buy to buy it. Same day delivery even if ii have drive and way better confidence I wont get a counterfeit, it wont be damaged, and more often than not these days it's cheaper.
On a side note, Amazon really only delivered the coup de grace to independent bookstores. Large chains like Borders, Barnes and Nobles and box stores like Target and Walmart weakened them so much they couldn't compete when Amazon took away their sole advantage: ordering hard-to-find books from small publishers.

Had a parent that worked in an independent bookstore. The store couldn't match box stores in price. They had selection and the willingness to order obscure books for people, but once the Internet came to homes, they weren't the only ones that did that. Eventually that bookstore got bought out by Borders. Ironically that store was one of the first customers of the distribution network Borders set up for their stores.
It definitely is better than most other laptops and one that makes a significant difference. I think XPS 13 has improved the touchpad a lot, but haven't used the recent version.
> To those that believe that they would not have turned a blind eye during WWII to the systematic extermination of Jews, the current generation has been given a similar challenge. Where is your cancel-culture now? How will our children think of us?

I agree 100% with what you say. But if you are from the USA, you may better not say it.

It is just impossible for a person from the USA not to sound ridiculously hypocritical when criticizing China. You are the greatest war-mongering country in the last few generations! If you are from the U.S.A., it is more realistic and effective to work on stopping your country killing people abroad.

Not that anything that you say or suggest about China is wrong. But this century will not be remembered only by the Chinese genocide of the Uighurs, but also by the north-american aggressive and murderous imperialism.
This is really good advice for basically any creative endeavor. If you want to learn, then by all means do tutorials and popular projects, but when you want to get inspiration for new projects, there's nothing better in my experience than having other hobbies and joining other communities.

How would you even know which products have raw materials that come from China? You will be hard pressed to find something that doesn’t have parts made in China, and even harder pressed to be able to figure that out.

On the other hand [1] says "Walmart has upped the ante by raising driver salaries to $87,500 [...] The median annual wage for most tractor-trailer truck drivers across the U.S. is $44,500, [...] only 10 percent of truckers earn above $64,000."

Needless to say, whether those count as "raking in the dough" depends on whether you consider a night sleeping in a truck stop as work time or leisure time.

Those seem like good books. The longer one might be a civilian replacement for Street Survival. I'll have to read it. I didn't see any mention of mental rehearsal, visualization, and managing stress in the excepts/overviews, but those don't always list everything. If they cover those as well as tactical thought processes, then these sound like great resources.

The only caveat, which I should have mentioned in my book suggestion too, is that any book dealing with potential legal matters on self-defense is only written generally and one should also read their state's statutes/code.

This seems... economically confused. Billions flowing in from the West reflect the fact that China's internal economy is strong. If it fell apart, no money would flow in.

Hey, another user of Coda!

Coda (and Coda 2 on modern machines) is great for remote editing, especially since you don't have to set up any plugins.

My favorite editors/IDEs by task:

* Rust: CLion
* CLI text editing: Vim
* Edit a random file on Windows: Notepad++
* Edit a random file on Mac: VSCode/Atom

Why buy ThinkPad if you’re going to use touchpad anyway
For as long as I can remember there have been people worried about the Old White Guys Club aspect of ham radio. "ham radio is dying!" they say. Well, the old guys keep pushing daisies and younger guys (not always young!) come along and do things. It's how it goes. And not all of us are club affiliated ARRL card carrying robots. I eschew all of that in favor of just having fun doing my own thing, and one thing I've learned: There are a lot of hams just like me.
Check out TARPN for an interesting usage of ham and more modern tinkering.

Surprising... and a little scary. This is not something I would've expected to be done in the current world of multiple cores. I wonder if things like volatile and lock-free algorithms would behave any differently or even break.
Some high end Thinkpads like my old but trusty X1 has the glass touchpad, those are delightful to use IMO.
There is a proviso that goes with that. If you're doing a metro-area mesh network (some of the WiFi overlap with the 2.4GHz amateur band!) you can use WEP or WPA as long as the password for joining the network is "publicly available." Putting the current password on the website for the club/group running the project is sufficient to demonstrate, for FCC purposes, that the communications are open.

Calling out the very few Chinese people on English platforms defending their country as shills is even more chilling than China calling everybody who mentions things like this spies and dissidents. In the west, it's also racially coded. It's also against a lot of forums' rules, including this one. It's an excuse not to engage on the merits, but to blanket dismiss.

> Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.

You should look through the comments of people who are constantly anti-China with the same vigilance; I'm sure you'll find 100x as many. Also, astroturfing is when corporations create activist organizations, not when somebody has an opinion you don't like, or when somebody believes their own government.
I had suunto watch issues, too. I used openambit[1] for a bit, but at some point, I was no longer able to get it to sync with my movescount account. Eventually, I got a new watch that synced with my phone over bluetooth and the issue was moot.

The article proves itself a little bit pointless by closing with this without any elaboration:

> Although fatality estimates are important for understanding the risk of viral spread to people in different age groups, they don’t tell the full story of the toll COVID-19 takes, says Kilpatrick. “There is a fascination with death, but COVID-19 appears to cause a substantial amount of long-term illness,” he adds.

I've been very surprised by how little attention the media gives to the damage that covid does to people, but here's a few articles:

It makes me wonder what's going to happen in a few years from now in the countries that haven't controlled covid well. Will there be a huge demand for new types of medical treatments to help covid survivors?

Depends on the app I guess, but you can get far without needing a Mac with flutter etc. Sadly I think there still is some restrictions for some Apple hardware for the developer part of the app store. I'm not super familiar with that part, but we had some issues with some Apple legal terms which could only be accepted on a authenticated device, which means you need Apple hardware.
Thank you for your whataboutism. OP brought up Lebron James because he likes to publicly moralize about how certain lives matter and ignores an actual genocide in the country keeping him paid.

Imagine how much positive impact Bezos could have on this if Amazon led the way on identifying China’s reliance on western money to continue funding cultural genocide. He could spend have of his money on this and still have $100,000,000,000 to play with.
Oh, I didn't make things clear. The email was completely written in English. I think there has to be a little cross-cultural understanding both ways in these situations.

> People lives are worthing much more than their organs when they are used for labor

I absolutely disagree with this claim. Forced labor is inherently inefficient and barely cost-effective, especially in the modern age of mechanisation and the lessons of soviet GULAGs proved just as much. Especially so in China, which in no way suffers from a shortage of labor force.
I'm seriously considering this since my MacBook Air is so pokey. I do use Microsoft Excel though on my Mac, however it's through Firefox and I find it perfectly acceptable compared to the desktop version I used to use.

Pluto.jl appears to be a Julia centric notebook alternative to Jupyter and its multi-language Kernels, including IJulia [1]. I imagine there are many trade-offs between the two but the primary one I see is the runtime size/Python-dependencies of Jupyter versus the reach of the platform.

There is also a great deal of overlap between IDEs and Notebook platforms.

To my knowledge, Safari already had Chrome extensions working fine (before some conversion to native programs apparently). The problem wasn't in the extension support or even in the 100 bucks fee, but in their extension store's ineptitude in publishing whatever developers were trying to ship. ‘Reddit Enhancement Suite’ (iirc) stopped supporting Safari for that reason.

Edit: not RES, they cite the move to native code as their point of divergence. But I remember reading somewhere about Safari store's unenthusiastic publishing of extensions.

Maybe if companies in the USA and Europe would stop building stuff in China it would work. Why is the burden on placed on individuals when corporations and governments actually have more power in this process.

Yes, which means that effectively they don't have the power.
It's a gigantic hobby that touches a lot of different nerdy things.

First of, there's a wack-ton of science you can just dive straight into, with a lot of literature around because ham's been around for a long time.

Are you in to EE and hacking? Cool! You can build your own radios!

Are you into pushing boundries? DX (chasing long distance contacts) is for you.

There's QRP (super low power) where you can talk to an amazing amount of people over morse code with just 5 watt and a deadnuts simple transmitter. It's like making a cellphone with a 9v and an altoids tin and talking to someone halfway cross the country.

There's also the civic duty aspect, there even folk with just handie talkies (walkie-talkie-sized ham radios made for shorter-distance trasmission) can do their part in a natural disaster.

But above all that, there's a really hands-on feel to making something out of bits and bobs and suddenly someone is talking to you!
Impact of Coronavirus on Travel Industry
Unfortunately we don't have enough information. If a guy with a gun threatens your life, it's reasonable to act in self defense, but we don't know whether or not that happened. But the outcome of this individual case is independent of the bigger picture: You're confident without that information. You also felt that it was somehow relevant to point out that somebody in a crowd was a pedophile. I hope you try to understand that, for many people, your attitude is the scary one that threatens their society, and the lives of their loved ones and their friends. I too wish people wouldn't riot, but to simply ignore the monstrous crimes against civilization that are spurring them, or the poisonous hatred coming from the groups that are cheering this child's killings, is a message that you're not interested in a good faith attempt to save society - that all that matters is who the political enemy is.

And, yes, in a sense you're right: Framing civil unrest and riots as just villains destroying our precious country with no consideration for why it is happening is exactly how you get to a place where lots of people die.
