Yeah I can see that. But it feels weird to say it.

The English expressions I do wish people would get right are "moorish" meaning spicy (after the Moors), not "I want more of this", and "enormity" meaning horrible, not huge. But English is always changing, and using these phrases in their correct meaning now confuses people.
Facebook is terribly buggy and also has google-level customer service (none)
And some of the existing ones are not separate services either (amazon.pl is autotranslated amazon.de)
Sure it does. But lying about that as the reasons and saying masks don't work is misinformation. And that is what the government health officials said.

They intentionally engaged in a misinformation campaign. And now they are considered the authority against which any other opinion will be judged misinformation.

That would be me being confused, exactly as you wrote. By coincidence, I had tabs open on SciTE and Scintilla as well.

I've worked with FB Business Manager since early 2014 and it has always been bad: slow, requires constant refreshing, and is extremely complex.

For comparison, AdEspresso is not nearly as complex but hugely more productive for doing split testing in Facebook campaigns. You build your ads on their interface and they submit via API.

China is the second richest country in the world. It has the most billionaires, and has experienced steady economic growth for decades. It baffles me that people still classify them as a developing nation.
What nations spend and what the people actually receive are two different things and you know it, yet you keep repeating this time and time again.

That's the history of your country, it is better to deal with that than blame everyone else. The US have enough money to solve the issue, but not acknowledging it makes it impossible to solve.
My argument is that previous poster has no argument when he proposes that USA should confront China and win. He proposed it as a zero sum game which I don't agree with. I think there should be no hastened confrontation because both sides are strongly pathological so probably neither should win all right now. Also I don't believe USA can win anything anymore because it struggles even in minor conflicts and lost all support and trust of global community more than decade ago. I don't see USA becoming less dysfunctional because it had every opportunity and didn't improve. I'm more optimistic about China because we have seen that communism can fall. I know it's a stretch hoping that for China but since post world war ii period we never seen USA improve its behavior.

I feel like Twilio is making a move into becoming the go-to Enterprise/B2C API platform, being already the biggest company in SMS and Voice message APIs, acquiring Sendgrid to gain advantage in Email APIs and then Segment to be able to manage customer data. Think they might go acquire some kind of customer/user analytics API next.

Realized this when I use Twilio SMS + Video, Sendgrid and Segment together before their acquisitions and now I'm just sort of using Twilio, Twilio Sendgrid and now Twilio Segment.

Heroku has very wide support, you can deploy most types of applications super easily, including python/java/ruby/go. Pretty much all languages follow a basic model of build and run, though how the build is done is variable.

It's great and it's very successful. The only reason Heroku is not more widespread is because they're charging $50 per unit (roughly a CPU or a GB of memory), which makes it prohibitively expensive for most workloads.

What would you add to your current Desktop OS though?

I am using macOS, yes there are few things I dont like, but generally speaking it is very very good. That is specifically the OS. Not MacBook the hardware ( which I increasingly hate... )

As a matter of fact I dont even remember what difference / new improvement they made in the past few macOS version. Other than instability and compatibility problems.

Safari needs lots of love. Stop dumping down Safari into iOS Safari. I use Desktop / PC for a reason.

As a matter of fact, I wish they would stop releasing new macOS every year for features. There is no need for that. Just do bug fix, library / API update and performance improvement.

Edit: Actually Text Layout is still crap, no one has solve text layout that takes writing Top to Bottom into account. That is including the Web Engine as well.

Genuine question: what is it that qualifies China as a developing nation?

The last thing on my mind when I think of China is "its a developing nation." China seems to own quite an empire.
If the underling has a reason to be scared, they should commit it to writing. But that's a different scenario than the one the training is talking about. The training is talking about how to avoid accidentally shooting oneself in the foot by misunderstanding what can happen in legal discovery.
Would be curious if they will ban claims that if the vaccine is released before the election then it is dangerous, and if it is released after it is not (a democratic talking point unfortunately).

> OK, fine, now we need to define social media.

Here's my definition of the elements of "toxic social media":

1) the automated surfacing of messages from random people because they are "popular" (i.e. highly engaged) mixed in with personal messages. This is the amplifying effect that makes things hot.

2) the immediacy - a message can be spread insanely rapidly, faster than any individual humans can understand or respond to it. This is the fuel.

It's the fact that it happens at an inhuman scale that I think is the biggest part. Email at a human-to-human level is like letter writing. Information can travel through it, but it can't amplify by bypassing the human connections in the way that Twitter trending topics can. Likewise 1:1 or limited-sized groups on Whatsapp.

I'd even put Facebook groups into that bucket, so long as they're full of humans who know each other. It's once you get to groups with millions of people who don't know each other directly that things get out of hand.
Here's some news for you: China is the new USA, just more blatant and duplicitous at the same time.

The joke is good but they did just that with the LaserWriter 35 years ago.

It was revolutionary almost as much as the Macintosh (and had more computing power!).

I remember my uncle setting up a new business at the time and getting a bank loan for a Mac and the printer. It cost about the same as a new car and was worth the money.
I am very vocal about this in my inner circle, but what can I, as a single developer in Europe, do to help?
I guess it depends on the Type of Games?

I still love good old 2D RPG. May be making 3D RPG is easier or cheaper so no one is making 2D anymore. But i still love 2D. Even in pixelated form. Good Old Zelda, Sword of Mana, Chrono Trigger

In fact even old Championship Manager ( now called Football manager ) was lots of fun. And Pro Evolution Soccer ( or Winning Eleven ) during Playstation Era.

Some of the fun part are lost in modern gaming. I reckon they introduce too much complexity and Real Life simulation into it. Or may be they care WAY too much about graphics, and not enough about Game play dynamics and Story telling ( Apart from Nintendo ).
The entire point of a recommendation engine is to not be neutral, but to induce some kind of bias. Otherwise, you'd be seeing random entries, not recommended ones.
I haven't seen much evidence yet that the tools we're building can discern signal from noise, though they sure can amplify.

Indeed, people in this forum often seem to call attempts to discern signal from noise "censorship."

To give you some context, there is a massive government sponsored anti-China propaganda campaign going on in the US in order to give pretext to a Cold War style
ramping up of tensions, economic conflicts, military conflicts etc. because America sees China as an economic competitor now like it did the USSR. This article and the sentiments of so many in HN are simply the result of that campaign.

Edit: It’s not a conspiracy theory when almost every China bad news story can be sourced to organizations sponsored by the CIA.

"I'd be interested to know what your thoughts are on the UK and German models of "free speech" where no one has an absolute right to say what they want"

The US version of freedom of speech was created based on personal experience with the British model. The American version is broad and almost absolute. The British model was a document that said you had it and a crown that would execute you or take your property for your words (usually when those words were against the crown).

Freedom of speech is fundamental to freedom of conscious, which is different than "live freely without undue influence from others". I'm very happy with American style freedom of speech, where the cure to speech you don't like is more speech instead of jail and violence.
> It takes more internal strength to run 10 miles every day than to practice the flute.

That’s utter nonsense. It takes more physical prowess to run 10 miles, sure, but there’s nothing mentally easy about playing the same damn four bars until you have the passage completely locked in, to put in the effort to go from ok to good to excellent.
The Afghanistan war is a UN security council sanctioned action (Resolution 1386, creating ISAF, later succeeded by Resolute Support). Since the resolution was unanimously adopted by the security council it would be quite a leap to try to sanction a country for participating in it.

I don't own a printer myself

But my small-ish company owns several, and in my country it is basically essential...

A major reason to have a printer here, is that if you do ANY, and I mean ANY business, you need to file a electronic form with the government, and print a physical copy.

The reason for this, is that we have a transportation tax, and if the road police stops you, you must have the printed document on you to show to the cop the goods you are transporting had the tax paid.

Weirdly a lot of people DO NOT know that it is the road police that is the intended readers of the document, so the information that is relevant to them is often wrong (people file price, tax, etc... correctly, and then put random values in volume amount, weight, size, registration plate of vehicle, etc...) then they get surprised the police seizes their stuff.

And many just don't print it, and assume sending to the digital document is enough. (it is not, a cop in the middle of nowhere might not have internet to check on the official servers the document, and thus he will want the paper copy that he can read with a flashlight)
The problem is that we live in a world and society where you're expected to know a lot about a lot. And we just keep adding to the pile we need to learn. You need to know how to sew or mend your clothes, you need to know how to tinker with your electrical system or plumbing, with your car, with your electronics, know your stuff around a kitchen. And the list can really go on and on. Now you need to know how to code.

The computer equivalent of what most people know how to do around the house is clearing the browser cache, restarting a service, running something at startup, and other troubleshooting steps like this. Stuff that you learn in under a day just like you would when learning basic clothes mending, replacing a faucet, changing a tire or your oil, or cooking a meal.

Any reasonable definition of "coding" is creating something. Like building your own electronic circuit, mechanical part, simple clothes, etc. This is beyond what a normal person is expected to know about their stuff as general knowledge in life. Everyone should just understand the principles of the tools they're using and basic "under the hood" stuff to assist with basic troubleshooting.

In reality in the parts of the world with higher standards of living (can afford stuff) this piling up of expectations just lead people to give up and pay for services rather than learn all that. And for good reason, modern society has this bad habit of taking every shred of free time and complicating your life, with unfortunate consequences.

The Cold War forced US and Russia into a technological arms race that pushed us leaps and bounds into the future. An absolutely reckless use of resources sent humans into space and to the moon way earlier than our technological timeline should have allowed for, as evidenced by our lack of return visit.

Except he actually encouraged China to continue its concentration camps.

I'm very anti-Trump (being a brown guy it's hard not to be) but his China policy is much better than any of the last several Presidents'. That said, I wish he had more of a human rights mindset and less of a money mindset. You can bet that if some aspect of the trade balance hinged on the Uighurs, he'd be advocating for it.

> So everyone in the West is guilty for everything anyone in the West has ever done

Of course that's nonsensical and I agree with it. But I wonder what you think when it's positively framed?

So everyone in the west can _benefit_ from everything anyone in the West has ever done?

That statement seems much closer to being universally accepted. Our rights to benefit from the fruits of Western "progress"; medicine, civil rights, social security, peace, etc. Yet these things are fundamentally dependent on the historical and contemporary colonial and neo-colonial "heist" upon the rest of the world. How can we simultaneously distance ourselves from the crimes of the West and benefit from it? Actions have consequences. Yes, neither I nor my immediate ancestors (and I'm as British as can be) took part in any colonial crimes, but I sure as hell take advantage of my Western privileges. If I don't have any personal responsibility for my culture's crimes then how do I justify personally benefiting from those crimes?
Thanks, what convoluted logic.

I haven't really thought of it in this way, but it gave me an epiphany that my struggle with being charismatic, which is that I can be very, but it takes effort and is exhausting sometimes, is at least partly due to the context switching required to "know your audience". If your audience changes often, it becomes more difficult to maintain.
