To be frank, that spy scandal is not in the same genre of the other abuses that are being discussed by OP/GP and others.

And it looks like the treaty was renegotiated (Australia was shamed) so I’m not sure why you dug this example up

The US also have far more influence on the rest of the world than China (at least for now). As a French, many things happening in the US can have big consequences on my day-to-day life: US military operations directly increases risk of terrorist attacks in Paris (because of NATO or more indirectly), big price moves on the NYSE influence market sentiment in all Western countries, Hollywood movies and Netflix releases change our culture continuously, Google and Facebook privacy changes hits us too, Uber price policy, BLM events actually change perception of police violence in my city within a week, US patent on new cancer drugs, etc. I can't find a single occurrence of a China-centric event that had repercussion on me, my friends or family.
The two-party (with not a huge amount of difference between them) system of the US, with a sitting president that is toying with the idea of staying president for life doesn't really paint a picture of "couldn't be more different" for an outsider.
I don't like printing but printing is indispensable (at least in US). There are many official documents you have to print, sign, scan and send. Just yesterday I had to fill out a mail order so that my office can send WFH equipment to my residence. For those who are recommending running to the nearby print-shop, it doesn't matter how close the store is, nothing beats the convenience of having a printer-scanner right next to my desk especially when it's raining or sub zero outside. These days kids are doing school from home, so I scan their art-work and upload (turns out better than taking a picture). My ten year old Brother laser printer works well with CUPS and if it were to die I'll buy a laser printer-scanner in a heartbeat. It makes life so easy having a printer-scanner at home.

No, we do not, because the crimes of the US are not equally severe and/or are historic and not actively occurring.

There's a difference between systemic racism and state-sanctioned cultural genocide signed off on by the dictator himself.
I got into it specifically because you can get good printers cheap. There is a manufacturer that offers an open source based printer that was better than it had any reason to be for less than $300.

My printer today looks nothing like the printer I started with, I’ve switched boards, recompiled my own firmware, the whole bit. I was confident in hacking on it for two reasons:

1) It was open source based

2) Replacement parts are inexpensive

I originally started with a Makerbot 2X which was closed source and $2500 (8+ years ago). Mind you, I didn’t have one at home- we had a couple at work for prototyping.

The slicing software was atrocious, the ability to fix it was hampered by what parts they sold, and the replacement parts were generally very expensive.

My $250 printer was better in every objective measure out of the box than the MakerBot was after years of practice and tuning.

This year my friend’s 2X died and a replacement motherboard was going to be almost as much as the cost of my printer new so he just gave it to me and bought a new printer.

With my newfound confidence from my “cheap” printer, I gutted the 2X and installed an open source motherboard and completely rewired it.

It all started with a printer good enough to be liked by the community and open enough to be modifiable.
Those "concentration camps" (a ridiculous misuse of the term) only exist because people of all colors from all across the world are clamoring to move to the US for a better life. Someone had better get them the memo that the US is a tyrannical racist hellhole.
> > to figure out which version of your word people like best.

> It sounds like you're arguing that democracy is better if the politicians don't know what the people want?

I have no particular objection to politicians knowing what people want. But that wasn't how I think the money is being spent.

Rather, the use I was pointing out is centered on figuring out what people want to hear.

So, less "what positions would the voters prefer we take" and more "How can we package the policies our donors prefer such that voters choose us over the opposition". Spin, in other words.
I might be mistaken, but I thought Guantanamo Bay is still operational.
What about the audio quality?
This isn't satire. I knew I was gonna get a lot of flak. I'm sorry to have so many dissagree with me :(. I have no idea what the CPCs plans are. Much like I have no idea what my own goverments (UK) plans are. But what I do see is this kinda news creates a hatered, and that hatered finds it's ways into the culture at large, and I don't think that's a good thing.

e: and yes, I honestly belive that in China things work so diffrently to the West, that a sample of the people can actually give you a good read on what the powers are thinking / doing. Maybe cos they are all brain-washed ;) who really knows. All I'm saying is, let's try and be civil!
I must’ve forgot that famous hacker ethos, if it hasn’t been done before don’t bother trying.
> The point of UN and UNSC is as a venue to talk about these things and negotiate solutions - it's not like it ever was an option to have an UN that can make binding decisions on the major powers, no major sovereign power would ever agree to that.

You know, the original intent of UN was of an organisation to do exactly this. After the second world war, the determination was made that the no pill is too bitter to prevent the next third reich from coming to existence. And that the free nations will spare no price in blood, nations sovereignty, and economic damage to achieve that.

The UN was then sabotaged in its infancy by the very same major powers who vouched to back it. I will let readers to research by themselves who was the biggest proponent of admitting USSR to UN.

The early history of UN was of it being a Western nations club, and a quite potent body. The later didn't fared well with the same major powers in the West. Look who was the biggest opponent of resolution 377 historically https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembl...
Sanctions, punitive trade policy, rules about government contracts going to Chinese companies, participation in FoN and similar exercises, issuing arrest warrants, making this a factor in immigration / visa / asylum decisions (favourable to those affected, unfavourable to those responsible), etc.

But step one would be just to raise it in a diplomatic context. Most of the world seems unwilling to do even that.
false equivalency? if there is one I'd say the oppression to black people is way worse, specially with so many people invested in suppressing this discussion. It was the Uyghurs that built China's prosperity? Were they enslaved, lynched, segregated for centuries? I don't think there is really an equivalence. What the US did to the black people is a lot worse.
How We Institutionalized Incompetence
Probably because US just shoot them... not many native Americans, and the number of black lives are reducing when you white asses shoot them.

Wrong metaphors. That is like saying everybody needs to write a compiler or bootloader.

That's not necessary, but everybody ought to be able to think logically and express it in a universal form whether you call it programming or doing basic excel work. In the world I want to live in at least. If you want to live in an arbitrary, religious, backwards madhouse for eternity be my guest. There's only one path forward and many paths back.
The existence of Taiwan and the lack of any of the criticism you mention applying to it seem to be a good counterpoint to what you imply is anti-Han-Chinese sentiment. Rather, it's anti-CCP sentiment that is broad and deep in the West.
Conway’s game of life within itself
This doesn't make any sense. Most IPv4 addresses change every day if not multiple times during the day. I guess you can only filter the dumbest of the dumbest this way. And if someone has the wit to open an incognito window it doesn't take a genius to notice that he can only see the same day's comments.
You would not have Google salaries in Europe. Coming from a Googler, this feels like you are pulling up the ladder.

If Googlers feel that strong about inequality, why not give away your fortune to social causes?
Good question.

I run Linux (and on a Purism laptop so I can take it apart if I want to), so I guess I've made that choice already in a different context - "yes".

I haven't tried it, but I expect a commercial print head to be extremely specialised and adapted to the specifics of the printer it's in. And of course no documentation on what the connections are or how it hangs together. I think it'd be above my skill level to get this working.

One thing I would like to hashicorp do is take pull requests more seriously address them within a certain time period and help new Go engineers with tips on how to finish their PR's for terraform providers. The AWS provider is an example of lack of engagement, leading to stale PRs. At the same time, hashicorp love to shout about day 0 support for a big cloud feature.
The present is already scary. The US have led the work without cooperation for quite a long time (remember the 2003 invasion of Iraq?).
There is literally a corporation running the area like a modern day East India company on behalf of the Chinese state.

I agree, I'd actively support such action. I'm just pointing out that that's up to those nations, not the UN.

You obviously don't know much about what China is up to if you don't think that description applies to China.
> This is the major humanitarian issue of our time.

Not even close. There's reportedly 120,000 - 1m Uyghurs imprisoned, but even this is less than the deaths due to Coronavirus. Climate change will displace and kill more. We will also have to see what happens with the conflict in the Caucuses, but the civil war in Syria has displaced 6m people.

A noble sentiment, but the problem lies in who gets to decide what is and what isn't bullshit.

Do not pass sensitive data to docker build via --build-arg. When you access this with "ARG" you will log the information in the docker history, visible to all. Use "--secret" or use the ARG in an intermediate build stage which doesn't have it's history preserved, then copy any necessary files form the intermediate image to your file image manually.

A perfect example of this would be passing your NPM_TOKEN to install company scope packages.
> Obvious bullshit is fooling huge chunks of the population

By definition, 'Obvious bullshit' cannot fool huge chunks of the population. If some bullshit can fool a huge part of the population then it is not obvious to them.
You're posting this on HN, a platform that has moderators and doesn't allow certain things to be said. So you implicitly agree that there is a trade-off between free speech and ability to live in a community.
Actually I have and I love it, when I need more than 99.9% uptime and/or clustering.
> China running the same plays from the playbook written by the Anglosphere war powers

Absolutely. All the comments like yours are downvoted. The West doesn't need autocracy to maintain its propaganda, its own citizens do it for them.

China is not innocent. But on what basis does the West have any moral authority to judge China's emulation of Western colonialism. I would argue very little. The West has made its bed and now it must sleep in it.
The US has 2 million people locked in cages. If you seek the freedom to be locked in a cage, America is clearly the better country. Of course, America has a much higher crime rate. Those who enjoy the freedom of getting murdered are better off in the USA.

The crackdown in Xinjiang is a response to terrorist attacks. Both America and China are pretty reliable for grossly disproportionate responses to terrorist attacks that ruin the lives of millions.
The problem isn't collectivism but tribalism. The Han majority in this case don't extend their sympathy to the Uighurs or the Tibetans or the Mongols. The self-described Aryans didn't extend their sympathy to the Jews or the slavs or the Romany. There are plenty of individualists in the US who are indifferent or hostile to other "tribes", blacks or hispanics or native Americans or simply city dwellers, while being very solicitous of the interests of their tribe. I'm sure the Confederacy was full of rugged individualists. They loved Davy Crocket, who died at the Alamo defending the right to enslave Africans and seize land from Mexicans.

Link to your channel? Also, are there any video-aggregator besides YT where you're backing up your content?
This seems like a necessary project in these current times of big tech censorship. Id imagine they're having trouble rasing funds hence the Kickstarter, but this is something ive been thinking about being necessary to exist for a while now, im glad to see this. Will definitely be donating to the KS.
No Iraqi is comparing US to Iraq. I don't understand why there is always a contest between US and China. US is a developed country, and China is a developing country. It is not a beauty contest. Also there does have to be only one winner. Maybe, just maybe, there is no need to mess up another country.
Yes - I bring up Taiwan a lot and I think Taiwan should be it's own thing. Same with HK. My cloest friend often has to deal with Han peeps hating on Hong Kongers - dinners can be quite hard sometimes. We're all trying to make peace and make bridges, not walls.

And yes, a very good point. It's imporant to split the govemerment from the people. I need to be more careful :)
Not only that, iPhone base security model was actually one of the main selling points for Symbian OS S60 v3.

While the USENIX paper is from 2010, the 3rd edition was released in 2005, 2 years ahead of iPhone.

And the now super fashionable Widgets were already a thing on Symbian, back in 2010.

I don't know the history exactly but I think it's been kind of rocky. Amazon limits CCC to physical (that is, Amazon's lowest margin) goods, ostensibly because of licensing agreements.

Amazon benefits here by sanctioning a price history tool with restrictions when others could take its place and include its higher margin goods (if you look, there are CCC competitors that aren't sanctioned in this way, but you have to look). Less measurably, the price history tracker provides better consumer experience, in line with Amazon's customer obsession. And finally, Amazon's warehouse space isn't unlimited, so informed consumers who know a particular price is extraordinary may help it free up space more quickly.
I'm referring specifically to the Uyghur situation. Trump may have done all sorts of things China doesn't like, and I'm not interested in getting into a general political debate about the merits of each of those things, but he hasn't done much about the Uyghur situation, aside from when his arm's been twisted by Congress. His personal concern in Chinese trade policy seems mainly to be mercantilist (minimizing trade deficits and whatnot).
Show HN: I built an acronym management webapp – Acronym Ninja
I had a very niche problem I wanted to solve (from my professional consulting experience): an easy way to publish/maintain a set of acronyms and not have them lost in the net's myriad collection of acronyms. I'm a Back End person, so my UI is limited to black & white and basic Bootstrap CSS, but a secondary goal was to deploy using an auto scaling container orchestration so it won't fall over when I share on HN! Feedback greatly welcomed.
That makes it a non-starter for me. Surely there must be open alternatives to this - perhaps based on GeoJSON?
I believe, and possibly in response to your comment, they seemed to of added a FAQ page on the Kickstarter which documents most of what you asked, and is most of their whitepaper. You should check it out!
It's not extremes. Modern society is designed so that we don't have to do any of those things (in extreme or even in between), we just throw money (that we generated doing one specific job) at our problems.
How do Debian packages isolate ? Can you make sure that e.g. app1 won't replace app2's config file with its own (if, say, both app1 and app2 need ImageMagick with different policies) ?
Unfortunately, I don't think generating a load of anti-Chinese sentiment in Europe and North America is going to make the Chinese feel less threatened by the Uyghurs. Rather the reverse, I expect. So I'd recommend people express their support for the Uyghurs without, in effect, calling for a holy war against China.
IMO, this proves the counterpoint.

The UN isn't and isn't supposed to be a political body. It isn't idealistic and it isn't designed to prevent human rights abuses. It is designed to prevent nuclear war between SC members. The HRC is not going to prevent or even deter human rights abuses, it never has.

The UN isn't a world government, isn't supposed to be.

Basically, the UN is a moot point. The UN is not going to do anything about Uygyur persecution in China. Neither is anti-UN shite.
Apple clearly sees use for it. https://register.apple.com/resources/indoor/Apple-Indoor-Map... says:

Who should join the Indoor Program

The Indoor Maps Program is appropriate for the owners or operators of almost any large venue, public or private.

[table omitted]

The exceptions are as follows:

• Convention centers: accurate indoor positioning requires a relatively stable Wi-Fi network to be present. In the exhibition halls of convention centers this is generally not the case as the Wi-Fi is commonly changed for each event.

• Warehouses: it can be difficult to provide accurate indoor in large empty warehouses. However, if the warehouse is filled with equipment, shelves or other objects this is less of an issue and indoor positioning can be made to work well.

• Any small building, office, shop or restaurant: the basic rule is that if the space is so small you can’t get lost, then indoor positioning is not appropriate for that location.
Is it? These are stack management instructions; you know in advance from the platform ABI which registers are "scratch" and which are "save", so if you allocate any of the "save" registers in your function you emit the corresponding push/pop pairs in the start and end of the function. At worst you push/pop a register you don't need to - but in ARM64, the stack has to be 128-bit aligned, so you have to push/pop pairs.
Downvoting is also restricted to accounts who exceed a point threshold. I think that particular feature (ensuring people who can downvote at least have some level of trust within the site) has been critical to prevent hive mind-style downvoting. I rarely see downvoted comments where I don't understand why they were downvoted.
Is this any different in character from the messianic CEOs of Silicon Valley?
This is what makes the mask situation so illustrative. You have the same guy who is deemed the ultimate authority saying two opposing things, so one of them must have been deliberate misinformation to harm people under these rules. You can't get on TV and say "masks are useless" and the next minute, in the face of no new data, get on TV and say "masks are the law" and somehow walk away with intention preserved and reputation intact.

None of this finicky language is ever going to amount to anything, frankly. The powers that be ultimately control what is broadcast to the masses, even if those powers change their minds.
When someone is trying to have meaningful discussion or suggest something important and does it all on twitter for me for some reason it automatically devalues whole effort and communicates that it's just some unimportant random musings.
I'm not perceiving twitter as a place for other things than generating outrage, virtue signaling, lighthearted memes and fun or top-down style notices/messages.
Ah, thanks for sharing.

Yes, I'd agree on all counts. As I said in another comment, we need to be so careful with what we are saying. I just get really upset when the anti-China-goverment narrative spills into an anti-China-people one.
I almost just spat out my tea.

I've tried to move to Linux once a year since 2005. A few weekends ago I did my annual attempt and had a go at Elementary OS (live USB wouldn't boot, gave up), MX Linux (couldn't get sound, wouldn't boot after installing nvidia drivers), Manjaro XFCE (kept locking up, requiring a power cycle) and Pop OS.

Pop fared best, but even then I had all kinds of showstopper problems with monitor power saving, resolution, crazy window repositioning, and some behaviour where the desktop workspace randomly becomes far larger than the monitor and sort of pans around. If I leave my computer for 10 mins then have to spend 20 mins fixing it when I come back, that is a deal breaker.

I persevered though... Tried playing a game, alt-tabbed out to do something else, machine rebooted. Tried to use their tiling window manager functionality, but it had all kinds of weird bugs making it virtually impossible to use for anything except simply switching focus (and even then, their theme does not visually distinguish between focused and unfocused windows, which is problematic!)

Anyway... rant over. Short version: I disagree with you. :)
