The whole world watches during this annexation of Hongkong. Worse, the UN just made CCP a member of their Human Rights Council until 2023. Meanwhile they keep expanding their concentration camps for Uyghurs and even bragging how they decreased Uyghur birthrates by applying "family planning policies".

And again, the whole world watches, this all brings me to the realization that the slogan "Never Again", is just that, a slogan, politicians and people in general throw around to signal. It really disgusts me.
I think your idea is another perfectly valid alternative. I just haven't seen the appetite for it. I know the recent immigration changes were rolled back, but if the crazy requirements instituted a few months ago says anything it's that like 40% of our country are super against the immigration route.

Hong Kong is not China. It only takes a few weeks in each place to see. Was it wrong of the British to take HK as a colony at one time? Yes in the same way it was wrong of them to take eastern North America. Hong Kong—culturally, philosophically, politically, spiritually, virtually in every way—is not China and should not simply be “given” over to them by the rest of the world.
This is in fact so simple to remember that street signs in San Francisco, where AM/PM is native, use 11:59am/pm or 12:01 and never 12:00 to avoid ambiguity. Street cleaning from 12:01am to 3:00am, for example.

If anyone is looking for a relatively digestible book on China, I can wholeheartedly recommend On China by Henry Kissinger [1]. While he does tend to meander at some points, it gives a solid introduction to China's recent history (arrival of the British, the civil war, up to around 2010) and interactions with the United States throughout. At least, to someone who initially had very little knowledge on the topic.

I am seriously thinking why no reputable laptop manufacturer would start a crowd sourcing campaign to make a modern laptop which resembles the 701C as close as possible. I would back it quite likely (depends on the price/performance ratio of course).

Even a more “toy” variant that could be based, e.g. on Raspberry Pi I would likely back if it’s affordable enough.

https://cleave.app

Cleave is an application that lets users persist OS state as a "context" - saving and loading open applications, their windows (and their positions), tabs, open files/documents and so on.

Started because of frequent multitasking heavy work with limited resources.

Made it because I wanted to switch between studying, working, reading, looking for an apartment, etc. without manually managing all states or consuming all resources.

I will release an Open Beta (macOS) as soon as I finish license verification and delta updates, but I keep getting sidetracked...
Interesting. I find Masnick's writing quite accomplished, and he is quite correct that there is a lot of misinformation (which he links to!) about Section 230. I agree he writes confidently about technology's intersection with the law, but I don't see that as a flaw: the Techdirt team seems to have a much better handle on these issues than the average journalist, and certainly a better understanding than the average blogger or internet commenter.

Sorry, I'm not qualified to say. I cut short my dives into both Prolog and PicoLisp. Too many segfaults (myfaults) in PicoLisp. I need more hand-holding or time. I'm keeping my Prolog books though.

My thoughts exactly.

People say they need guns for defense. I can empathize with this, but I also understand that is just because there are other stupid people around carrying guns. There would not be a problem if nobody around had a gun.

In countries like that there are outlets for people to be able to shoot guns. In Poland you can go to a shooting range and you can also get a permit for hunting or sport rifle. In either case the use of the gun is restricted so that general population doesn't have to worry about being around people with guns.

I never felt a need to have a gun, ever. You don't have to worry about stupid entitled people either, they are harmless.

> Please provide a source for your claim that Democrats encouraged riots.

That was the question I answered. I've showed that the left, which is most of the media and the democrats, encouraged the riots and set the precedent of using violence to achieve political goals.

(Local) democrats demonized the police as enemy of the people. Kamala Harris encouraged her millions of Twitter followers to donate to a Minnesota crowd-funding effort that paid bail for accused rioters. Both local and national media rigidly only referred to the far-left rioters as “protesters.” The Associated Press, which sets guidelines for journalists, amended its stylebook to discourage use of the word “riot,” given protesters’ “underlying grievances.” It took months before Biden condemned the riots and he only did it when he started to drop in the polls. In Portland BLM/Antifa rioted for months and they even tried to storm into a federal courthouse downtown several nights in a row. The respons of the mayor wasn't to condemn the riots but to tell Trump to take his “troops” and leave.
Those showing righteous indignation now only months or weeks ago argued that the riots were “mostly peaceful” and that vandalism and looting don’t count as violence.

And it seems people have forgotten it's not the first time government building have been occupied to prevent a vote.

No marketing needed - SpaceX is a decade ahead of all other Earth agencies.

Yes it's very hard to get a soft landing on Mars, and props to any agency that can do it. We expect great things from Tianwen-1. But it's many times harder to develop a complete process to soft land 100mt there, 100 times a year.

This is the same engineering process that spanked ULA, who with a century of experience and head start, has yet to complete its commercial crew rating, plus they are single shot, not reusable.
Guantanamo is a terrible violation of human rights but it's not a cultural genocide like Xianjiang. It is okay to compare these but absurd to conclude they are equivalent.

Have you actually been to HK or Beijing? I think you will find the way that the way HK protestors are viewed is not very similar to how BLM or the MAGA capital protest is viewed.

Many complex topics with a lot of gray areas are often framed in soundbites that are extreme - you're either pro-life or pro-choice. You're either pro-Trump or anti-Trump.

A person can be a staunch supporter of women's rights to liberty and the pursuit of happiness but draw the line at a woman's right to end another's life. The "all-or-nothing" approach pushes people into one of two camps that each holds extreme opposing views, and it's happening across the different issues we face today.

https://cinetrii.com analyses reviews to infer possible inspirations behind a film.

There are a bunch of things that could be improved with the text processing applied here. The wrong movie title is resolved occasionally, like failing to distinguish between an original and a remake, or a book. Sometimes the wrong part of an article is parsed, resulting in wrong connections.

But I think it works overall, for the right type of film with a rich discourse.

>You are wrong on principle because you stopped thinking after you calculated the death rate after week eight. The virus doesn't stop spreading in either of the hypothetical cases and the population is a finite number. Keep calculating!

This only applies if the plan was to let literally everyone get infected. That wasn’t the plan. We have vaccines now. It should be possible to end things by the end of summer, so excess deaths now are needless deaths.

Also you’re ignoring speed. 200,000 hospitalizations in a week is much much worse than 200,000 in a year. Get too many people needing to be hospitalized at once and the death rate goes up because you can’t treat them as well. You also get more deaths from other conditions as hospitals can no longer serve cancer patients, heart attack victims past a certain point etc.
The pfizer vaccine also elicits T Cell response/cell mediated immunity. I'm guessing there are a few more studies in the pipeline..

That's what you're doing isn't it. MAGA riot? "Ooh it was just a minority...". "Oh let's view what Trump said with a charitable context" Despite the context of 4+ years of him lying, defending white supremacists, and stoking misinformation and keeping his supporters pissed off.

Well, it's useless to debate with you, you're brainwashed. Sure, on the other hand you can say I'm brainwashed, go ahead and go and claim you won in this debate.

I see the distinction you're making, but... I know a bunch of gun owners too, and the overlap is very substantial. It's all the same people, really. Obviously not every gun owner is a right wing terrorist, but they all subscribe to the same magazines and subreddits and all imagine the same euphemisms about freedom and protection and self-determinism.

> constantly demonizing all gun owners as bad people

And see... this sort of defensiveness is why we can't solve this. I know it doesn't seem like that to you, but by refusing to call these people out and instead hitting back with statements like that, you are circling the wagons with the terrorists.

I don't know how to fix this if you won't meet the rest of us half way.
The stack is pure browser side JavaScript (not even jQuery) + Linode Java servers (no Spring/JBoss/Hibernate/Play/nothing) which use just the NoQMS microservice framework found at https://github.com/noqms/noqms + Amazon S3 for site pages and images. Amazon hosted postgreSQL database. It turned out to be quite a bit simpler, organized, and maintainable than I ever imagined. The microservice framework gives scalability. Failover and availablility is provided via simple client side failover to alternate servers, accommodated with completely stateless services.

I was introduced to OCaml through Elm - a deeply-opinionated language with strict guard rails. In Elm, there is either a happy path or there is no path. As a newcomer, you're not overwhelmed or paralyzed with a plethora of choices on how to get things done simply because Elm limits your choices. Each tool in your toolbox is documented with simple examples how to use that tool.

After finally jumping the fence and exploring/devving with other OCaml languages (specifically F#), I still come back to Elm to see how it and the community does things: namely their best practices and explanation of fp concepts.
> I'm not claiming NPR is biased, I'm saying it's amusing that it was the three-letter U.S. public news service that got embroiled in scandal in the last administration. Not that the scandal was actually substantiative.

I thought that it was probably so, but my point is that accusations of bias are not the same as being "embroiled in scandal"; rather they are a routine part of daily operations for any news outlet.
>It depends on the person and the situation. Wouldn't you agree?
