I'm assuming you're referring to how softly he tip-toes around events like the Tiananmen Square Protests or the massive famine during the Great Leap Forward? If so, I certainly agree with you and many of the Goodreads reviewers in that his approach could be considered overly diplomatic. If anything, I think knowing the weaknesses of the book in advance is advantageous for weighing what Kissinger says throughout.
If not, I'm curious to know your thoughts. My knowledge on China is limited to discussions with family friends who have some experience through their work, and this book, so I would not be surprised to know that I am severely lacking.
A native Floridian once told me that the New Year's fireworks display would be starting at “12 PM”. Confused about why they’d be shooting off fireworks in the middle of the day I said, “12 PM!?” She rolled her eyes and made air quotes with her fingers and said, “Well, AM”, as if I was being extremely pedantic. To her, AM meant morning and PM meant night.

Having worked on the UI of an event-related service, I can say the error rate is much lower if you go with the ‘11:59’ workaround. In addition to the confusion about whether 12 PM is 00:00 or 12:00, there’s confusion about which calendar day 12 AM falls on. When does a Friday midnight movie start? 99.9% of people will show up at the end of Friday, but in a literal user interface you’d have to choose 12 AM Saturday. I thought of fireworks girl very frequently when I worked on that UI.
I've thought about writing something like this. Right now I use a spreadsheet. The "killer feature" I've been looking for is the ability to compare things. Like, if I paid an extra $100 a month, how much faster would I pay off the loan and how much money would I save in interest. Also maybe different repayment strategies. Like one where your payments get gradually lower every month and one where they get gradually higher every month.

You obviously aren't concerned about it at all because you fantasize about something which didn't happen while ignoring censorship that did.

I don't like what Titter has been doing, but I am not concerned about either discrimination or censorship on private platforms.

Oh man! So I have a fractal half-baked project made up of smaller half-baked projects that all fit together to make a plan to save the world!

Help people understand computers from the gates up using simple computer system based on LoF notation and Oberon RISC and ATMega328P microcontrollers (of Arduino fame; because I have a handful laying around)
New computer architecture based on latching sort-nets. (This isn't written up online anywhere.)

People who were at the Capitol have already started being picked off the streets by police. Many of the more prominent people have already been arrested, and there are large scale efforts to identify the rest.
Mark Cuban had an interesting response. The algorithm is editorializing, even if it's driven by AI. FB either needs to show everything in chronological order, or face the burden and liability of the content it promotes.
It might be a bizarre, yet moderating force to online discussion if a cottage industry of civil/personal injury lawyers pops up around FB content.
The people you're hearing this from just aren't being honest with you. Their case was heard dozens of times in courts across all the disputed states. The idea that the Supreme Court specifically needs to weigh in was created only after those losses, as a deliberately impossible standard to keep people mad; everyone familiar with the legal system was saying from the start that the Supreme Court wouldn't rule on the merits of this case.

Not everything is a propaganda there is some truth to it, given Hong Kong is the only ground left for US to try to destabilise China to slow its growth.

This is also the reason China took hardline on Hong Kong as they see it as strategic weak spot. Moreover actions of China in Hong Kong are supported by majority of people in China. This tyranny of majority exists in democracy too, what happened in Kashmir is 100 times worse than HK.

Given the way US president pardoned people who committed genocide in Afganistan and killed scores of kids and unarmed civilians. There is hardly any ground left for them to teach others.

No real death in over an year of violent protests by police firing in Hong Kong vs 5 deaths in capitol building siege speaks volumes about the professionalism with which Hong Kong police handled the protests.

China is built by hard work of its people not by CCP [1].

May be work there for a while and than you can see why Korea, Japan and Greater China did so well not others in growth. It’s easy to talk rhetoric, but hard to do hard work to bring about transformation.

Those groups have imagined a coup for years. These are the same people who were rumbling about a cold civil war turning hot any moment now during the Obama years, quoting the revolutionary language of the Founding Fathers and strongly implying that something must be done about the leftist menace when they thought the Tea Party would actually follow through.

I'm not surprised. Early Sparc chips weren't much to write home about. I had a Sparc 10 at home for a while. It made a great X11 desktop. The later UltraSparc systems, like the Enterprise series, were powerful, supported tons of CPUs, memory, and IO but single threaded CPU performance still wasn't stellar.

At one startup, we had like 10 people logged in to a E3500 for Java builds. The thing had 512 megs of RAM, huge for the time, but with 10 people compiling and running java apps with a min heap of 64 megs, you got into swap pretty quick. It had these enormous disk arrays attached. I think it was 2x Sun Storage arrays with 16 disks each, each one being like 20 gigs or something, for a total of 640 gigs before the RAID. We were also running a database instance on the single box (Sybase, I think), which didn't help. A lot of people started running their apps on their Windows desktops.

This was pretty early, late 98 or early 99. We basically had built our own app server on top of Apache JServ, which predated Tomcat.
I like it!

I would donate if the homepage communicated how exactly the funds are used.

Is the idea that you’ll directly match donators and people in need?

If so, there’s the obvious chicken and egg problem, one idea to overcome that could be starting out with all donations going to an existing charity that shares a similar mission (and being transparent about that on the landing page), and then eventually start redirecting funds directly to folks seeking help (also while being very transparent as the use changes)
There are drop-in replacements for aviation, too, in the form of biofuels.

Nonetheless, the modern industrialized economy was built on the back of shipping that was only initially possible via petroleum fuels.
Implementing what's possible to implement and leaving the rest broken is pretty ok. Developers will avoid the broken controls or code replacement ones.
Neat idea - I use MacOS virtual desktops to segment my in progress work like this. I might have my IDE with whatever I’m working on in browser on one desktop while I have all my communication stuff (email, chat etc.) on another desktop and then my random browsing on a third. But as you say running multiple tabs of Firefox and Slack and the IDE when you’re really only using about a third of them at any given time is a pretty big waste of resources.
It's funny how people never learn. It is absolutely imperative that Intel continue manufacturing.

The point is that this isn't a characteristic of the platform but of the users. The users don't want to be federated with someone who is federated with someone they don't like.

How do you fix that, just force everyone to federate with each other? How do you stop people from forking their own clients to remove the forced federation?

> You don't have a point and the claims you've made are egregiously wrong. Here's a hint, 1967 >>>>> 365.

You literally didn't contradict anything I said linguistically or culturally (i.e. that China is _not_ some singular linguistical/cultural area), which was my point. So no I _do_ have a point and you yourself agreed with it.

You made another point that the fact that China was unified more recently as an empire than Rome means they are somehow more legitimate. If that's your point, okay I understand your thinking. I don't agree with it (by that reasoning the British have a claim on a lot of the world's territory), but okay then that is your thinking.
Yea, I definitely need to put more effort into promotion and getting more active users.

“calling for Godaddy to suspend donaldjtrump.com”

People were ‘calling’ for Twitter to suspend Trump for years. People ‘calling’ for something means nothing.

You could be right though, but there are many ISPs. I’d never trust GoDaddy in the first place. I’m sure some are run by Trump supporters.

I like this idea but I must point out that every single open position for “comma.ai” is “ON SITE.”

Chinese FM welcomes Elon Musk statement praising Chinese government
> As it is, we’re in a situation where even the speech of the POTUS is beholdent to corporate censors.

We've always been in that situation. Aside from the presidential alert system there is no government-controlled communication channel from the president to individuals, and there never has been.

It's always been up to citizens to inform themselves of governmental goings-on.

Finally, the president of the United States is a citizen holding a political office. No more, no less. The sitting president deserves no special treatment in a country of equals. If a citizen breaks the rules of common decency then fellow citizens are less likely to repeat those words for others to hear.

I suspect you’re paying a large premium. The last car I bought included a $10K discount off MSRP or a smaller discount with 0% financing, but only for in-stock inventory. That was before haggling, as those were pass-through dealer incentives.

Presumably, no one pays anywhere near MSRP for that model unless they custom order from the factory.

I’m sure it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but still.
Apple also makes it easy for the iPhone to sync with Windows. There is a Windows version of iTunes (does it still exist?)

Soviet Communism (Bolshevism) WAS a virulent strain: millions upon millions of even comfortably living people in developed countries wholeheartedly believed in it, and developing world submitted to it without a second thought. Soviets did not take Africa by force in 1960s - they didn't have nearly enough long range force projection capability - they made Africans want communism. Same in Southeast Asia.

Maoism is nothing like that. It is despised by everyone including China's closest neighbours both culturally and geographically - even by Vietnamese who are sort of Commies themselves. Vietnam is willing to ally with the U.S. - who it lost millions of people fighting with 50 years who and who's completely opposite to it ideologically on paper - only to avoid Chinese bullying.

But, it seems to be a good way of government for China. It works there. Nothing at all worked in China in the previous 150 years of trying, nothing else allowed to marry industrial civilisation and Chinese national character. KMT figured an alternative but only when they were already stuck to Taiwan, and only with the massive U.S. aid (which would be insufficient for Chinese mainland even under best assumptions), and only because most of Taiwanese are part Japanese and their culture had a strong Japanese influence.

Ofc, Dick Nixon also helped a lot.

That’s not true any more though. All of the media networks have shown examples of cutting away from the Presidents speeches when they detect he’s going to say something they don’t like.

If you were Trump right now and want to directly address the nation, you know calling CNN and Fox and NBC are going to be a mixed bag at best. FAANG has given the indication right now that for two week no one should be giving the President a platform. I fully expect him to use the national broadcast system.

Based on other sources of this story it basically goes like this -

1) Covid hits and sales and demand for new cars drop.
2) Automotive Industry cancels a load of silicon orders.
3) Covid hits and there is a surge in demand for replacement/upgraded IT equipment.
4) Silicon Fabs adapt and take up the slack / Re-Tool
5) Automotive experiences a sudden surge
6) Silicon Fabs go - Uhmm yeah, you are going to have to wait.

Before oil we had coal ships, coal trains, coal steam shovels, coal tractors, etc and even electric trolley from both hydroelectric and coal power plants.
