I don't think your case is very good. I read through that paper, which is not very much about the treaties, but I also didn't find any compelling arguments that the treaties say more than below.

What I gather they say is Japan gives up rights to the SCS and territories they siezed from China are returned to China (RPC, ROC, whatever).

However it doesn't say the Spratlys and the Paracels are returned to China, for example because Japan seized them from China.

I agree with your last points - the larger picture is that China can claim whatever they want, but their arguments aren't good enough to get the approval of major world players. So they'll have to protect their position with force or trading favors.
Honest question. How is this feature enabling increased corporate/government control?

Not just Github. Having any GUI be your first interaction with Git is a disaster. Right now the only way to learn Git is via book or man page, and command line. All the decent GUIs I have used assume you already know Git. They are great and powerful, but they don't help at all with the onboarding process. If you know of one, please share. I had to stop using GUIs completely and learn with Git command line. Then the GUIs made sense.
All agreed, except:

> Despite the tired narrative Monopolies are not formed through unfettered Free Market laissez-faire systems, they're made when power is consolidated through the use of arcane legal loopholes and large lobbying purchasing power in elections and the orchestrated consolidation of Capital.

I don't think it's a tired narrative. It's a recognition that monopoly is the end goal of every profit-driven company, and that economies of scale and compounding are purely free-market ways to reach that status. I.e. the more money you have, the faster you will make money, and the more you scale up, the less you spend per-unit. Of course eventually the organizational costs of scaling grow to compensate, but then there are many small people employed in inventing new business models and strategies that let companies get larger and larger before they become too unwieldy to keep the upstarts down.

Also: "arcane legal loopholes" are caused by accumulation of capital. Fundamentally, if you have a market and a government within the same light cone, they'll find a way to affect each other. Government officials participate in the market and want the money, so they can be influenced with money. You can't really treat them as independent entities.

Bottomline, though, all these elements are present here: DoorDash & friends are using everything they can think of in their fight to dominate the space.

That's the partial win here - repo restored with tests referencing the RIAA related videos removed but the code dealing with the rolling cipher itself still intact.

And next time youtube makes one of their frequent changes to their website the extractor will break in some way. Somebody will work to fix it and make use of the same tests, only now some of them won't be in the public codebase.
That doesn't matter, the way people actually use git is that almost all repositories have someone or some small group who rule them, so nothing is really lost by having an easy option to purge things from history. And an inconvenient option (possibly more than one!) does exist.
No, only foreign nationals must register when visiting places. Chinese citizens only must register at the police station when moving - though as if often the case, many people ignore such rules. I just meant that the state is tracking where people visit thanks to digital means - facial recognition and cell records. But foreigners can't really skirt those rules, both because they aren't as easily tracked and because they stand out.
Email would let me participate without having to sign up with github.

Anyway, email has threading, at least. At the very minimum github needs to step up and acknowledge how terrible issues are for communicating.
I find that I benefit greatly from targeted advertising.

A couple of years ago I realized that Spotify's recommendation algorithm provides me with a better selection of music than any other method ever has.

Lately I've found ads targeted using advanced ML implementation have been of great value to me as well.

I don't remember ever purchasing products from direct response marketing before, but this year I've purchased multiple high importance things that I would not otherwise been even aware of.
Early in my career, I noticed a mindset among senior developers disparaging ORM's with "I'll write my own SQL, thanks." Although I noted their thoughts at the time, I didn't really do anything with it - there was a mountain of other things to learn and using an ORM made me productive enough to get tasks done.

Of course, years later when I finally dug into SQL and interacting directly with databases, I had a much better understanding of their mindset and wish I would have learned earlier.

Now your mindset feels very similar to me - "I'll write my own shell scripts, thanks." So, to avoid making the same mistake twice, do you have any advice for what to read / learn to better understand your position?

Note: I've written plenty of shell, but the shell I've writen is way to hacky to use as a replacement for ansible.

Your plan is reasonable if human minds were genuinely and effectively open to letting the best ideas win. But they are not. Human minds care more about reputation than veracity and this has important ramifications for plans like yours: namely that they don’t work. Confirmation bias is real and pervasive and as completely in control of my mind as it is of yours. I encourage you to read Haidt’s The Righteous Mind and see if what you purpose still makes sense.
You can do the same with git stash, but it's also inadvisable because of how easy it is to lose changes. My workflow in this case is to checkout a new branch and commit the work-in-progress there, then switch back to the previous branch to check the commit. I've seen numerous pre-push scripts that do exactly that.

I wish git didn't use the disk at all! It gets in the way of parallelizing work. For instance, I'd love to be able to make a bunch of trial commits, then in parallel verify that none of them breaks the build. Or while a build/test loop is happening on one branch, switch to another to continue working.

Why should I be surprised that there are people who are good at "do the right thing" but not "do the thing right" when so many SWEs are the opposite?

Why do we keep expecting unicorn people who are good at everything both directly and indirectly related to their role?

This is why we have cross disciplinary teams.
>Also, I suspect one of the things holding back Java desktop GUIs might be that they're often clumsy to distribute.

I just download Netbeans, this is 10+ years since I touch a Swing / Java apps. And nothing has changed, it still looks Java. It is still heavy, although start up speed are now better. But generally speaking an Electron Apps ( VS Code ) looks and works better than that.

Eclipse is still better look wise, as it was 10+ years ago. That was basically the reason why I choose SWT back then. But it is still not perfect.

So I decide to check out another consumer Desktop App from similar era, Vuze, or used to be called Azureus. And it is the same, Desktop Java Apps. And yes that was the reason why no many were using Consumer Desktop Java Apps. They dont look good, heavy on resources, need JDK etc....

As if nothing has changed in the past 15 years. I remember I was trying to use GCJ and SWT for Desktop Apps then, it was just too hard. I gave up. And it seems no one cares about decent, java desktop apps.
This is enlightening. I didn't know you could take more than 2 lactaid capsules to increase effectiveness. I am also severely lactose intolerant and never took more than two assuming that they each pill was so packed full of lactase that it wouldn't help. This has resulted in me basically never eating dairy because 1 pill rarely helps.

But as to your question, from what I understand, preparation can have a great effect on amount of lactose so the traditional Italian methods likely prepare cheeses in a way that reduces lactose.
None! They're all atrocious hacks.
Whenever posts like this come up, the amount of controversy they always generate I take as proof of git's difficulty. If git were easy, it wouldn't need to be constantly defended by supporters.
Actually it's very impressive.

If you use UX purely from the concept of User Experience, then failing to understanding the concept of something is a failure of UX.

That said, sometimes when you are frustrated by having to add special cases to your code, it's not your fault, it's because you're modelling a badly designed system in the first place.

Yeah me too. I expect that there will be another release sometime next year with updated "package". It is cool that they put it in old Air box, but I think I can wait for better camera, overall package. By that time it will be clearer all the benefits and issues that come with it.

I wouldn't mind plastic edition of MacBook /w M1. Aluminum and metal overall, not the best for everyday use. I prefer "warmer" feel of plastic, like ThinkPad for example.
>High speed trains are a good alternative (for domestic travel)

This is the only real answer. There's a hard limitation to how emissions friendly aviation can ever be. The energy density requirements given current technology can only be met with hydrocarbon fuels. High speed trains are infinitely more efficient, and actually would have an outsized effect on emissions given that the type of short haul flights it would replace are the least efficient per mile travelled, since takeoff/climb uses far more fuel than cruise. We'll never be able to replace carbon intensive long haul international flights, but focusing on what can be replaced could go a long way.
It seems that Apple kept its eyes on the goal of beating Intel, while underestimating AMD (like just about everyone else).

Still, now Apple has the #2 fastest CPU on the market and with different ISA. Intel....#3. Oh, how the mighty has fallen.

At least AMD won't get to rest on its laurels now, as Apple will definitely try to surpass Zen 4, too, now, or at least Zen 5.
Not OP. Did we ever allow browsers to set their own DNS server for plain DNS requests? (Let's ignore IE and it's mess of mixing OS settings + browser settings a la "Internet Settings").

For me at least, the biggest criticism of DoH is that it's not necessarily a centralized config at the OS level and seems to be a step in the direction of the general theme "Browser As Your OS".
> stepping in if the private sector won’t due to it not being profitable enough

That’s effectively what government-enforced drug patents are for. I think it’s debatable whether that’s the best implementation of what you’re describing. Government sponsored “Prizes” are another approach that sounds promising -> https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2020/03/pr...

I donate to Planned Parenthood as well, and decoupling drug purchasing from insurance is a reliable way to make sure that everyone can get access to birth control or contraceptive, even if their employer feels strongly opposed to it (eg Hobby Lobby).
I'm sorry, but I think you are in the 1% of world population. From the article, 11% of world population took at least 1 flight, so when it talks about 1% of the population, they are talking about the 10% most frequent flyers.

With 6 continental and 2 inter-continental flights a year, I think you're probably in that top 10% most frequent flyers.
So now I have to add fake DNS records for every application that decides to do their own special snowflake thing and ignore the source of truth for what DNS server to use?

Oh joy.

I run DHCP for a reason. That reason is telling devices on my network what their settings should be. I expect those settings to be honored, not them doing the electronic equivalent of "okay boomer" and using whatever arbitrary settings they were told to by a corporation.
Even "simple objects" can be MITM'd. I know I'm on the extreme theoretical edge, and so maybe your perspective is pragmatic enough to pass. But even small images, javascripts, etc. should be protected by HTTPS, not just "sensitive" pages.

As an end user, I don't want the possibility of anything being tampered with along the route. As a content owner / webmaster, I want the same. So publisher and consumer are both aligned in their desire, making HTTPS ideal for everyone except for people reading/manipulating traffic along the way.

This is the first I've heard of executive disfunction disorder, but your post really describes the struggle of a lot of my life experience. Do you have any advice for coping with it? I used to be medicated for ADHD but went off the medication in my 20's because of the anxiety it induced
I've been reading some books on the medical industry and one of the things pointed out is that the price controls will often not provide enough profit to R&D new drugs. That the US ends up subsidizing a lot of R&D cost that everyone benefits from.

If this is the case, I wonder what would happen to drug development if that goes away.

Note, I'm not saying there's not too much profit from drugs. These statements don't have anything to do with that.
What do you recommend in these cases? People in non-technical fields often ask me about collaborative software, "like google docs, but for non text files". My mind goes straight to VCS, but git is too hard to get them quickly up and running.

I tried SVN one time, which is a little simpler, but still didn't catch on with the person I was showing it to.
Food preparation and delivery were not exactly stable jobs before Doordash came around. I’d guess that driving for Doordash is a substantially better experience than driving for the median Dominos, although I don’t know of anyone who’s tried to collect data on the subject.
I use Ansible to provision VMs on my "play" server at home (so I'm hardly an expert). That part of my playbook basically does:

* Prompt for username and password

* Create user

* Add it to the wheel group

* Copy over authorized keys

* Edit sshd_config with:

PermitRootLogin no

PasswordAuthentication no

ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

* Restart sshd
It has been. There are numerous such projects; gitless comes to mind since somebody else brought it up in a comment here.
If you

rm -r some_common_dir/

or

echo foo > important_file.txt

that would also be perceived as your fault. And yet, command shells are pretty good software.

As for non-devs editing the same document - unless that document is text (which typically it isn't for non-devs), I would probably not use git on them either.
It's nice that you have this possibility. Not every city offers such things :(
> I order a pizza through Deliveroo

I used Deliveroo for the first time in London a few months ago. It was the worst delivery experience I have ever had. Deleted after two tries.

My experience with Caviar, UberEats and ChowNow have been immeasurably better. As evidenced by their having live chat and phone support to Deliveroo’s e-mail only two-day turnaround support.

Impressive results from Apple, and another well-deserved kick in the teeth for Intel after years of stagnation. The coming decade is going to finally see some interesting developments in the CPU market again.
I personally already use PillPack, but what I am more curious is this line that so far I can only find on the verge and not any of the Amazon pages.

"Prime members will also be able to save on medication bought in person from over 50,000 pharmacies across the US, including Rite Aid, CVS, Walmart, and Walgreens."

I assume that means that Amazon actually worked with all of these companies? Does anyone see that on any of the Amazon pages?
Pressure from Facebook where the threat is an antitrust campaign against Apple for abusing their position.

I’d argue that a ruling from the EU aids Apple in moving in a direction they already want to go.

What I’m sure Apple is opposed to is the implication that they are somehow violating GDPR themselves.
> I really, really dislike this meme.

So, try:

The majority of people do not rationally save for emergencies, let alone retirement.

It is roughly equally true. I have no idea how to compare the relative impacts on social stability; keeping a sizable percentage of the population in economically precarious positions is likely more destabilizing, but spying and blackmail can have massive effects, too.

> A sense of helplessness in the face of seemingly overwhelming force isn't the same as "not caring at all"

I look at this as:

(1) Roughly the same proportion of people at any given time will be [failing to save, feeding the surveillance beast].

(2) Change the environment, and you change their behavior on the margin. (Opt-out 401K increases overall savings rates; safe defaults frequently don't get changed.)

(3) Change the incentives, and you change behavior permanently. (Ownership stakes encourage savings; close channels that leak personal information.)
Everyone thinks the other side is a tool. This is so pervasive it must be completely discarded as a measure of truth.
> You might as well ask how to unsend an email.

That is also a reasonable request.

I'm unable to fathom the notion that if a computer doesn't work the way people want, the answer is for people to adapt to the computer. The whole point of computers is to do things for people.

With physical messages, unsending has at least partial support. Before the mailman picks up from my porch, I can grab a sent message any time. If you FedEx the envelope, you can cancel before delivery. With a university's mail system, you can get the receiving department's admin to return something even later in the chain. And of course, you can always tell a recipient, "Hey, I sent you the wrong box, just send that back."

The reason email doesn't support unsending is not some essential property of messaging. It's just that at the time our email protocol was defined, both our hardware and software was pretty primitive, so we locked in a very primitive model of messaging. But note that more modern systems, like Slack and Facebook Messenger, happily let you unsend things. And consequently, they're effectively replacing email for most users.
> The correct response to that statistic is to wonder why COVID appears to have so neatly replaced deaths from other respiratory viruses, and to wonder - given the relatively vague symptoms - if there's some reclassification going on.

Except it HASN'T, and nevertheless, if you wanted to make that argument, the graphs and data in OPs post do not support that argument.

This is my entire point: if you want to make an argument about some feature of the Swedish data, that's fine. For example, the argument about "shifting deaths up" is also one you might be able to make with different data sets, but certainly not what was presented in this original article. Indeed, the data on the Financial Times website shows an excess of just under 6k deaths in Sweden that has not, as of yet, resulted in some lower number of deaths later in the year.

Whether or not other countries overreacted is a fine thing to have a debate about, but that debate needs to be made around not just pulling bullshit numbers out of thin air.
No it's not.

If you're a dev/SWE you should be able to grok a semi-complex CLI API to control software... but the further the world gets into "everything as UIX" and "everything has to be 'easy'" the more we stray from incredibly powerful, immediately available CLI tooling.

I know of too many highly-paid people who literally refuse to learn the CLI `git` or `docker` and limit themselves/skillsets by doing everything through the comfort of a UI. To me, it's a mark of laziness.

Git isn't "too hard"... it solves an incredibly complex problem. It has a lot of capability and complexity under the hood to deal with all of the craziness of distributed development paradigm.
That there will likely be a job for them is not much of a consolation prize over no job at all

But they already have jobs. Working in the restaurant or catering or hospitality or whatever industry is a job, and one it's possible (or it was) to earn a reasonable living in without a slew of academic qualifications.

Then one day, billionaires who can't think of anything better to do show up and say, we're going to insert ourselves into the relationships you had with your customers and your profits are now our profits and you can survive a little while longer by working harder for less, but you will go under eventually and everything you had will be ours. Because what we had was not enough, we need to have it all.
Is it safe to assume that future ASi CPUs for desktops will have just Firestorm cores and no Icestorm, which should further increase MT performance?

Discount programs everywhere focus on the uninsured (the insured have the insurance company also paying discounted rates, generally, but those are individually negotiated; the sticker price is just to have a starting point for negotiations with deep pocket public and private insurers.)

In many cases, the discounts in the discount programs are subsidized by the drug companies for uninsured patients.
