Sorry, pal, with the exception of mentioning my 'rule' for this discussed case, as I think it's important, I don't discuss my donations with anyone, except occasionally my son (to try to push him to behaving with more empathy -- something teenagers are short on)

So I reject your ad hominem attack. Your vein of typical sharp-tongued HN cynicism is very tedious.

Moreover, your remark has the arrogance of assuming all consequences of action are knowable. They are not, but you will need to learn that yourself.
> people just assumed it MUST be true because the CCP MUST be evil.

Whether or not assertions about Ma's whereabouts are true or false, the conclusion holds in either case. The predicate for westerners is largely, yes, the CCP is evil. But most aren't so reductionist as to say, that means {random bad thing} happened to Ma.

Intentional or not, the phrasing reads like a defense of the CCP -- because regardless of the CCP's actions towards Ma, the CCP has historically gone through with some internationally questionable acts. Or that, because the CCP didn't do anything bad to Ma, the CCP isn't bad. It's the phrasing that's concerning, and it taints the interpretation of rest of the comment. That's how Westeners will read this.

My comments were specific to attendees of the Jan. 6th event. I would assign (varying) culpability to a large majority of that group for the events that followed. 70M have varied reasons for choosing one of two candidates, but people who attended "stop the steal" event have mostly self-selected as buying into an absurd take on our election process and safeguards.

I see one alleged provacateur, John Sullivan, acting on his own volition because he's been rejected from groups for his violent behavior in Utah earlier this year. So far identified and charged participants don't support the early fabrications about the attack being an anti-fascist operation.
Did I read it right you get 1 second responses? Why even bother with lambdas? A t3 nano reserved instance costs 2 bucks a month or something! Surely most folks don't anticipate 1000x scaling in minutes? Coupled to elastic beanstalk you can get reaonable scaling as well!
I think people on both sides of the border need to acknowledge the limited value of news; not only will it give you a severely distorted lens of reality, but more importantly it is borderline ignoramus behaviour to base your reality of something on news as a source.
Depends on how you do it. Of course if you want to move instantly then that's gonna be hard. But slowly moving isn't that bad, or creating new projects somewhere else and slowly porting old ones.

Even then, it's possible that just companies that planned to buy GHE will simply not buy it and use something open source instead.
To be fair, we wouldn't have "literally" without a metaphoric interpretation of "literalis," "of or relating to letters."

I always find this particular example to be somewhat self-contradicting for this reason.
Please stop. Your fun little project is going to be used primarily to ruin other people's fun, and make life hard for game devs.

One reason for that is that other people may have different aliases set up, so you cannot count on your aliases working everywhere. Yes, that also means the default aliases, which may (although very rarely) change from version to version.

For PowerShell ISE there was an extension that automatically expanded all aliases, I believe for the current language server there may be similar things. If all else fails, a PowerShell script can do that as well, since PowerShell exposes its own parser in its API, so a script can easily introspect itself or another script.
Not really. Here, I can publicly say that I've got 12 terabytes of hard drives, about 8 of which are absolutely full of copyrighted content. Games, movies, music, PDFs, software. I even seed quite a bit of it.

And it is bad. The country run by a freaking communist party, if somebody didn't notice. And we are not even mentioning gulag, and hookers.

> In contrast to China's reputation here in the west, the govt actually DOES listen to criticism.

Because it is afraid of it?

> The key is to be constructive, and to criticize policy rather than people.

And follow the example of thousands of Chinese rural petitioners "constructively" sent to gulags.

> Calling for violence and overthrow of the govt is not allowed.

But how else would people stage a revolution against Beijing?
Do you trust AWS? Azure? If you fear the state, the risk is the same. You can for example mirror your gitlab repository there. I think you are being to radical.
How is "literally" used as a simile for "figuratively"?

A simile would require a sentence in which "literally" is compared to "figuratively", wouldn't it?

My impression, as a non-native speaker, is that the misused "literally" is to indicate exaggeration, not the quality of being figurative.

With all due respect if we judged people by their appearances we'd have discredited Paul Graham long ago for eschewing the traditional VC outfit.

The OP's comments about the appearance of the video is completely irrelevant and merely serving to throw speculative shade. For what it's worth, something probably did happen but his choice of webcam + background probably has nothing to do with it, but rampant speculation and false information is how we lead to the capital riots.

While the idea of gulags and "re-education camps" pervade Western perceptions of Chinese life, the reality is that conformity and centralized government is probably more dull than you think.
And where's Chen Qiushi -- or any of the other journalists who covered the draconian coronavirus measures taken in China, who suddenly disappeared a year ago?

You are just misinterpreting what that quote says. They think that the internet should remain a public resource that is open and accessible to all. They don't think that everything on the internet should be a public resource that is open and accessible to all as you are implying.

Do you really think that everything on the internet should be a public resource and accessible to all, even your email, bank accounts, etc?

This seems like FUD. Truffle is licensed under the permissive UPL[0]. Even if they decided to make newer versions of it closed-source the opensource versions would still be available, and their licenses would continue to hold.

I might’ve thought so too, but the account I’m replying to seems to be a genuine CCP critic (which is totally fine!).

My personal preference is for a HN community where dissenting views don’t lead to assigning ulterior motives (in this case being paid to shill for the CCP) to our debating “opponents”.
I find your comments interesting because I've lived in Amsterdam for a significant period of time (as well as Switzerland, Germany, and Denmark), and I've intersected with a lot of people who probably have very similar life stories to you! I think the crowd I interact with is probably somewhat different though, because they're mostly crypto/blockchain people.

While I have encountered a fair number of expats who moved to China and regularly visit NL/DE/CH, and rave about how good things are in China, I've also heard the opposite from Chinese friends who moved away.

The issue is very complex, and I don't disagree that China is full of promise. I really would like China to succeed, and I think that co-operation is necessary to fix a lot of the problems that threaten us on a planetary and social scale (climate change, immigration, economics, etc.).

However, I have a very strong distaste for the CCP and really would like to see them dismantled. For this reason, I doubt I will ever visit China, simply because I've been very publicly vocal in this position.

I'd be interested to hear more from you — I think civil discourse is very important. But I also don't have much tolerance for gaslighting, and sadly many pro-China/CCP actors have gotten very good at that.
I'm in the nice part of Taipei, I've seen drastically more inequality and squalor in Los Angeles than here. Especially post-COVID, my old apartment was in the Brentwood area and it's BONKERS how much more homelessness there is.

All in all, living standards seem very high, I haven't seen much homelessness in my day to day (especially compared to USA), but I've only been here for a month so maybe I've been in a bubble.
Thanks for digging up that video.

Telling that the Global Times (CPC-affiliated media) refers to him as the "former executive chairman of #Alibaba", and that he's making the video from some "rural teacher-themed social welfare event".

This isn't what normally happens to billionaire corporate executives, unless they've been convicted of violating the law.
On trump, I agree, but Bush? Didn't you see Bush's eulogy for his father? He is a skilled public speaker, in spite of his infamous gaffes.
My problem is the OP is trying to insinuate things based off pure speculation, cultural bias, and irrelevant details. He may as well have said that there was an excess of red pixels in the video and that means it must be reflections off of communist symbolism in the room.

So yes we are in agreement that the OP's comment is adds no substance to the conversation and is pure "hurr durr CCP torture cell" that just furthers the stereotypes of China.
I would have preferred something like daemonless, processless, or something that more closely describes what's being offered. My suggestions also are flawed but less flawed than serverless, imho.

The McAfee-based proxy we have SOMETIMES (I guess it depends on the content-type and the length of the upstream response) renders a kind of "intermediate" HTML document as the response body, where the human user is supposed to click on a link that makes the UA download the originally requested resource from an internal, ad-hoc mirror. I guess that is due to some virus scanning snake oil.

At any rate, what the packages at Amazon did there is just right up in "that is crazy"-territory.

"Shared hosting".
I assume the GP was referring to wasm running on top of graal, not graal running on top of wasm.

I don't think graal atop wasm would be a particularly interesting use case. Wasm purports to be a portable, secure, performant application runtime. Graal purports to be a portable, secure , performant application runtime. The latter, however, has had many more engineer-hours thrown at its implementation, and is thus both more heavyweight (so it needs all the resources it can get) and more performant (so it makes sense to use it as the backing runtime).
Please do not take HN threads further into nationalistic flamewar. We don't want that here.

> but what if people genuinely actually like the government?

If that were the case then there would be no need for the censorship.
There are a couple of paradigm shifts needed.

In mainland China, people value outcome legitimacy rather than procedural legitimacy and freedom of speech. In other words: they care whether the government actually does a good job, rather than whether the procedure through which the government was selected is correct, or whether they could criticize Xi.

How would the government get feedback then if people aren't allowed to criticize? As I said before: one can submit feedback about policy. Just don't go around and insult people. The government monitors social media as well for grievances. At the same time they censor social media to prevent mass unrest, but they take grievances seriously and works to solve them.

Whereas the west has freedom of speech as a core value, mainland Chinese value unity, face, action over talk and freedom from poverty. To them, it's much more important to be able to have a good economic life, than freedom of speech. After all, 2 generations ago the Chinese were dirt-poor. When I was born, food rationing still existed!

As Kishore Mahbubani, ex-UN Security Council head and ex-Singapore diplomat, said: the CCP is in actuality more like a Chinese Civilization Party. Their goal is to advance the interests of Chinese civilization, not to spread communism world-wide.

China is not facist. Facism means that society is deliberately split up in classes (e.g. races), with one class being seen as inherently superior to other "untermenschen". This is not China. There's no notion that Han is better than Yao, or whatever. Official government policy is to give ethnic minorities preferential treatment, such as easier access to university.

Or maybe you're using "facism" as a generic word for something you don't like? This is an actual question, not a diss.

As for hypersonic weapons: yes escalating weaponry is not good. But on the other hand, the US is not blameless in this:
"The US Has No Place in the South China Sea Dispute"
https://original.antiwar.com/dave_decamp/2020/07/19/the-us-h...
The US isn't supposed to be sailing warships around in the South China Sea in the first place. How about we all calm down and de-escalate at the same time, rather than trying to demonize a single party?

> When we have no other advantage, what then? Do we implode?

What made America and the west great? It's because of the great many talented individuals, focus on science and technology, investment in education, research and development. Keep doing that. We've been dropping that ball lately, becoming complacent. The west can easily compete with China toe-to-toe if only we get our shit together.

China is not interested in exporting its governance model. It has never done that. There's no evidence it ever will do that. Why should they? It's not in their interest to change others' governance model. China's rise as a superpower is easily the most peaceful one in human history.

China is not an enemy, not a threat. When China and the west come together, the whole world wins.

Great info in the article. I wonder if there's data segmented by age group.

As a Hongkonger myself, I'd say culturally we are more like Taiwan than Singapore. We don't really see culture influences from Singapore here. I'm not sure if they export any at all. In contrast, we enjoy Taiwan pop songs, TV shows, and movies a lot. And Hong Kong-Taipei has long been one of the world's busiest plane routes[0].

Taiwan's economy is growing, but Singapore definitely benefits most from Hong Kong's downfall. MNCs have already started migrating Asia HQ to Singapore. So I suspect ambitious young professionals, who wish to stay in Asia, will follow the flow of capital and opportunities to Singapore, whereas others will choose Taiwan.
