I think most Westerns see pro China posts as propaganda. But I think there is more relatable concern about well fare and prosperity. People in American live their lives seperate from politics anyway. I don't really think of Trump all the time going to work and I frankly don't really want to either.
"...if she's been getting advantageous rates for years and years this might not even put her into the red overall."

I agree on a whole, but this doesn't align with the day to day reality for many people with these huge bills. With a large percent of the country unable to pay an unexpected $400 bill and living paycheck to paycheck, they won't have the long-term net savings there ready for a time like this. Instead they're in a sudden financial bind roughly equivalent to crashing a car and having it not covered by insurance.

People are really bad at understanding low probability events. People had never seen prices in that realm before. Multiply the two, and here we are.
I could see it having an impact at the margins, getting natural gas providers to work VERY hard to get their pipes or wells defrosted and flowing.

I love this graph. I had just landed my first programming gig in a statistical startup when this was published and I remember how inspired we were at seeing it. It really opened our eyes to how useful animation can be in data visualization. So much so that we started migrating many of the graphs we had in R to D3.

Here is an example of a graph we did where we blatantly ripped off one of mbostock’s other NYTimes graphs:

You can search for the word "honest" and read everything around there…

Section 6 about incentives discusses about why nodes may be honest rather than collude to attack the system. This is the main pillar of bitcoin's security.
No, people there are aware of the censorship, anti-censorship tools are actively developed and quite a lot of teenagers (to say the least) have access to them, although the tools are frequently replaced due to advancement in censorship technology.

Although they are annoyed by the censorship, some of them would think that the censorship may be good for the country as it prevents 'unintelligible' people from being 'brainwashed' by western ideas, and act against the government/society or whatsoever. They claim that the censorship is to filter out those 'unintelligible' people from accessing information that they should not know, although this can't really justify the efforts the state put into censorship technology.

Those people are pretty happy to recent cases in western countries, such as COVID, BLM, Trump, and claimed that this is the advantage of their system that prevents such problem... And they also think that the western media also censor information, such as Facebook and Twitter bans.

Also, the great firewall is also beneficial to the internet companies, as this helps them to avoid competition with foreign companies, and can often just build a knock-off of the products of foreign companies... So the government really have the economic incentives to keep it.

Edit:

I am not living in mainland, but I know quite a lot of friends from there and I often read the articles in mainland websites (although I can't really post/edit them, as I don't have my identity verified for those sites).

For me, I would say that censorship is essential in every country. It may be helpful to censor information as done by Facebook and Twitter, but what mainland does is not only censorship: they arrest people for posting information against them, and their censorship is mostly not regarding fake information (as claimed by them), but rather information against the government. Some of them think that maintaining a harmony is good for the people, but censorship can't really make harmony, everyone understand that it is fake, but well, our opinion don't really matter now anyway.

I don't know why you're so resistant to the idea that harassment is commonplace for certain groups of people. Look at the stark difference when this founder replaced her picture with her male cofounder's on their support chat, for example [1].

Snow Leopard was the greatest OS update of my lifetime. That was the only year I went to WWDC and they were handing out the DVD as I was waiting in line. Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) was introduced and there we NO NEW FEATURES (except some support for MS Exchange). There is a concept -- release an OS that makes your machine more stable and faster -- nothing else. Rock solid OS. That was pinnacle of all OS updates.
The problem is that the ssd is not replaceable and people are saying the main cause of this heavy writing is the swapping to disk. So a hardware/OS problem.

It's funny realizing how people have been so trained to purchase processed products instead of dry beans etc.
Yeah, I do get that. Personally, I wouldn't use Block Party nor Social Media in general, for all the reasons that you outline. I don't want those things. Nevertheless, I see no major problem in providing tools to people who have a different set of priorities to myself. Particularly if they purport to solve other social problems, such as harassment.

As in all things, there's a trade-off. For me, the social benefit of a functional Block Party outweighs the risks. I take at face-value the founder's claimed issues with abusive content and assume that many others deal with similar. It is a shame that those doing the abuse had insufficient empathy, but that ship has already sailed.

At the end of the day, I don't believe you can win this one. Even if your concerns were overwhelming - which I think they are not. Simply, you cannot force people to read content they'd prefer not to. If this abuse is a genuine issue, someone will inevitably provide those tools. Either Block Party or another provider.
Agreed. Fortunately this appears to be only two house members sending this. If McNerney or Eshoo are your representatives, it might be a good idea to reach out and make your case.

Web browsers typically cache tons of data on disk. I wonder if the people with higher usage are all running something other than Safari?
Not the parent, but that's the main reason for me. I can tolerate loud noises like thunder, road work, renovation in the building (at reasonable hours, of course) without much of an issue.

However, stuff like

- Modified motorcycle that makes an insane amount of noise for no intelligent reasons

- People playing bassy music that resonate across the walls of the entire building (low frequencies)

- Constant pop music everywhere you go

Are seriously getting on my nerves.

This could have an interesting point but it's lost in its anti-Bitcoin rhetoric.

Bitcoin is like the lottery? It's up thousands of percent over the years. Many, many people have made real money and/or are sitting on massive gains. Regardless of if you think Bitcoin has actual utility (I think it does in spades), labeling it a "failure" means your argument is instantly ignored by every person who's up on their investment (aka every person who's held Bitcoin over the past 10 years).

they claim an average savings of around $600 per year. So if this is a once-every-16-years event then she'll come out on top, on average.
The PUC made a huge mistake here. If the goal was to increase supply, they should have only increased the rate on supply above the average of the previous N hours.

If a supplier was generating 1000kw for the last 12 hours, then if they increase that to 1100kw then that extra 100kw should have been at a higher rate.

All the PUC did here was give a tremendous amount of money to power suppliers that had already failed. I spent a lot of time watching the ERCOT real time system conditions page. Prior to the beginning of the blackouts, there was ~65GW of capacity. Within 6 hours of the rolling blackouts, capacity dropped to ~45GW and remained there for the duration of the crisis. The increase in rate did nothing to increase supply.

> There's nothing I know of that applies to the First Amendment

Citizens United. It ruled that a law banning corporations (and other kinds of associations such as non-profits and labor unions) from making campaign contributions was an unconstitutional abrogation of their First Amendment rights.

When people fulminate against the idea of corporate personhood, what they're really fulminating against is the idea that corporations have First Amendment rights. Which should tell you just how likely SCOTUS is to distinguish between private individuals and corporations when it comes to First Amendment rights: not at all.

> IMO The real issue is a crap education system which gives neither opportunity, nor good advice

The nihilism of YOLO has little to do with schooling. A broken education system is well after the fact of the economic and social reality constituting their environment. The young today have impossible economic hurdles: unaffordable shoebox apartments, high student debt, no incentive to save, no good jobs for modest tasks. And society is generally incoherent: "communities" are activist and political minority groups, or online, and not your actual neighbourhood; in-person communities are fractured by many different spoken languages; plus the cultural promotion of pornography, sex, and drugs.

I never understood their reason for the verbose and unfriendly ergonomics:

Instead of something like:

And, of course, it gets uglier when you're trying to test a function that returns a error,value tuple, which, again, is something that a more friendly testing library can help with.

It is a little disappointing seeing the utilities folder populated with the same dusty apps they were 20 years ago. I don't want them to go away—I want new stuff. Give me features and more tooling without feeling like something is being taken away in the process.
The difference is that most people don't actively invest in the stock market. Everyone depends on access to electricity.

Signing a contract for a utility shouldn't be equivalent to investing in a high risk financial instrument.

Because this error closely matches the new Tesla hardware replacement (MCU mmc is not a "wear item" or not, depending on who you ask) and like that chip, the M1 also has non-replaceable parts which seem to be wearing faster than normal.
> Social media censorship is not a big deal because we don't miss what we don't know. For example, people don't care they can't use google, facebook, instagram, because we have our own social networks. Also, people know not to talk about political subjects in these platforms because it is in bad taste and we know how to self-censor.

This is exactly why people don't even care about their words being censored. I live in China and 99.5% of my friends and family just use apps and platforms that "exist" in China. Those apps will even censor your private chats.
They learned to self-censor and think it's good for them and their family.
They just accept the censorship.

Philosophically - there is a solid discussion to be had.

Where does the right to food or shelter originate?

I want to eat and I want shelter. But how and where am I going to get it? Do I have a right to compel someone else to feed and shelter me?

How does my desire for food and shelter turn into a right?

If food and shelter are a right - does it follow that it is now an obligation on someone else to provide me food and shelter? Society is just a group of individuals. Someone is going to have to build a house and someone is going to have to grow potatoes and apples. Do they have an obligation to share the product of their work with me?
I am seeing this all the time. America is doing this too, why just blame China.

Yes, governments around the world have one thing in common, they are full of ASSHOLES. Actually, in general people are assholes. Bad things tend to happen.

You can have CNN and Fox broadcast different views somethings extreme, and many other media outlets expressing views somewhere between them. Try that in China, you would think twice if you are not even trying to PRAISE the government.

You cannot compare a demacracy to a authoritarian/dictatorship. They certainly always have something in common, the difference is level of oppression. The authoritarian are always on the extreme side, that's why they are called authoritarians.

Comparing demaracies to authoritarian is giving execuses to keep the oppressions going.

It's nice and necessary that you can criticize your government even in public. Don't give dictators execuses when your government pisses you off.

Arm and x86 have a similar number of instructions. The tradeoff is that with x86 you end up with more compact code because the instructions are variable length; but on arm the actual decoding is easier so you have more space for i$ (or anything else you want).

Perhaps you should—perhaps we all should—when learning. The best handwriting I've ever seen was written with them. ;-)

"<...>school for 13-16) encouraged pretty much anything that made a neat mark on the page."

As I mentioned earlier, when I was first taught to write there was no option other than a steel-nibbed pen that we dipped into inkwells (pencils were first but only in infants' class (6 or so) and we basically only drew pictures with them). Well-behaved boys (teachers never ask girls) were chosen to mix up packets of powered ink with water. Budding young chemists like me had a ball of a time, we were excused from class to a sink near the corridor. Sometimes ink went everywhere including all over us.

By 13-16 we too could use just any writing implement we wanted (presumably by then we were supposed to know what to do). Not that you'd know it, a teacher once likened my handwriting to Chinese hieroglyphics done by the wanderings of a demented spider (I'm sure that line was was wheeled out every year for especially 'problematic' kids like me.)

Incidentally, I recall that on a few occasions we were given quills during our art class period to try out and they worked very well but they didn't stay 'sharp' very long (BTW, we used the ink in our normal inkwells to write with). We were shown how to cut and prepare them, this we did with single-sided GEM razor blades. I reckon today if a teacher gave 7 - 8 year olds razor blades to play with it'd be deemed child abuse.

My-my, how things have changed.

I don't entirely get the notion that computing has to be 100% open for anybody to learn anything. My pulling-back-the-curtain moment was booting Linux on an Xbox & hand building a VGA adapter.

Dont forget that there are (homebrew and/or abandonware) sdks out there: for the PSP, PSX and other consoles.

I don't see the grey area in this particular suit. Texas law clearly allows selling electricity at a price of $9/KWh:

> (B) The high system-wide offer cap (HCAP) will be $9,000 per MWh and $9,000 per MW per hour. [0]

Thanks to the article for linking the order [1] which in turn cited the specific law. Also, it points out that the law actually allowed for an even higher price, as the "low system-wide offer cap" turned out to be greater than the "high system-wide offer cap". The public utility commission therefore elected to grant an exemption to allow continued use of the (cheaper) high system-wide offer cap.

If you, somehow, get past the fact that this price is literally and explicitly anticipated, allowed, and set by Texas law; and you assume that someone is guilty of price gouging, then you have an interesting question of what liability Griddy has.

Just keep in mind, with civil asset forfeiture, they don’t have to prove you did something before they take your stuff. Due process comes after they’ve taken your property, and since it’s a civil proceeding, you get to pay for a lawyer if you want your stuff back. Police know that a lot of people won’t have that option, or will find that it’s not worth the expense.
