It’s a little incendiary and perhaps would look a little racist to label things “Chinese free” or “Not made in China”.

Objects should simply continue to label their country of origin.

If the population really is interested in generally removing themselves from commerce with China, there will be a tendency to avoid products with the “Made in China” label. How great this tendency is will depend on how much the population values a commercial separation. Of course, it is ridiculous to assume that any individual would be completely aware of the degree to which their lives are ultimately influenced by commerce with China via their consumption of goods, let the alone the entire population. However, we can still expect the change in commerce with China to reflect the degree to which the rest of society values not doing business with those business entities that prosper in the spirit of mutual benefit with a regime that practices perverse and backwards acts against humanity entirely unbefitting of any modern world power.

Anyone man of commerce with a conscience must ultimately conclude to some degree that cooperating with entities under such a regime is not ideal, if simply for the sake of attempting to do good rather than evil. However, any man or woman of reason must realize that the leaders in international commerce that make these decisions must ultimately weigh this fact against a multitude of other factors. Their service most likely is foremost to the continuing survival of the business they represent, which in turn is dependent on consumption of the goods they sell. In the case of business with China, we can assume this to be goods sold elsewhere in society. These members of society have multilayered responsibilities in their responsibilities to society. Yes, to a degree they are responsible for the strife in China— however, they are also responsible to all the members of their supply chain, fellow colleagues and employees, business partners, and then also their consumers, not to mention their dependents and other contracts such as debt obligations and taxes. These are realities for society members working in the integrated world economy. To quit business altogether means disrupting these chains. However, if society values not cooperating with that particular system that sins against mankind enough, it would by degrees remove its consumption of the goods that arrive from that system, and furthermore by degrees shame and diminish the reputations of any partner to that specific system — the greater we as a society value liberty and justice for all, in both the arenas of physical personhood and in business, the more we will pressure the partners of the system and then ultimately the system itself to cease the contraptions diminishing to our natures. The degree to which society truly values these noble aims will be shown by the collective decisions and actions of that society.

In other words, in a free society, by which the actions of men and women are freely chosen, the degree to which that society as a collective values freedom will influence the degrees to which those who practice barbarism can continue doing so.
Great comment.

I recommend Bromelain (from Annas stem) as one of those enzymes which is virtually side effect free.
Internet Archive strikes again! I love Internet Archive, not just for archiving websites but for archiving everything and making it easily accessible. This is another great service that'll help a lot of researchers and hobby-researchers, which is lovely to see.

I am not sure, at least it is the same on Amazon KDP. There are three situations as summarized in the above link:

* Creator doesn’t submit tax info.

* Creator submits tax info and claims a treaty benefit.

* Creator submits tax info, but is not eligible for a tax treaty.

You have to pay your taxes somewhere, if you don't tell Google that you pay them in your country, then Google is in charge to collect the taxes at least for the part concerning US users.

Exactly, they are not ideologically bent on persecuting groups of people. Therefore, if people get killed, they can be attributed to errors of judgement.

Today, it's typing. I've seen the difference in kids. I think readability may be one issue, but perhaps even more important is that if writing is physically awkward and painful, it leads to writing fewer words and doing fewer edits.

My own experience was that learning to type, thanks to getting interested in programming, was game changing. All I can say is that I could write lengthy essays and reports in a jiffy. Still can.
They are mercenaries, of course.
Thank you for the reply. Yes, question was more rhetorical in nature and exhibiting my anxiety towards idea dissemination. I guess one of the reason why I never got further from capitulating from copycats who will do it faster, and better.

I suspect like most, your teams are overseas ie Romania/Spain etc. Lots good talent, focused so hinders my willingness to try something that isn't out there yet only to be overrun by talents who can crank it out in a day.

Like all indies, I do not have team/business currently to administrate/PR this to public mind's eye. Not to mention that in itself will be more time consuming than coding it.

Let me chew on this and see if there may be a small prj. How are you on pwa/vue? and unity?

Can you tell me more about your team? members, skillsets, knowledge expertise?

The first is from a table of percentiles published by the College Board, I remembered that statistic off-hand, I think you find it by googling, or on their website. The second is something you can find somewhere, I know I've seen the raw data at some point. Some googling will at least find articles referring to that ratio, like this one: https://economics.mit.edu/files/7598

Interestingly enough, that has a graph of the AMC math contest breakdown by sex. Check out page 7 (page number 115). When you start getting in the upper percentiles there I think that culture might magnify the male/female ratio a bit (this is based on personal experience), but at least in my high school the center mass of the scores up to 100+ or so was filled out by teachers just signing up a bunch of good students with no particular involvement in mathematical extracurriculars.

I can say with certainty that I would pass the interview if I had to do it again without prep.

Mostly because when I was interviewed the company liked me enough to skip half the process, including their code challenge stuff.
EDIT: My comment was made before you edited your comment from "just like cost effective grid scale batteries" to what it is now.

http://css.umich.edu/factsheets/us-grid-energy-storage-facts...

* In 2020, the U.S. had over 23.2 GW of capacity in energy storage compared to 1,100 GW of total installed generation capacity.

* Globally, installed energy storage capacity totaled 173.6 GW.

* 1,355 energy storage projects were operational globally in 2020, with 11 projects under construction. 40% of operational projects are located in the U.S.

* California leads the U.S. in energy storage with 215 operational projects (4.2 GW), followed by Hawaii, New York, and Texas.

https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/broad-reach-pow...

"Two of the planned 10 MW batteries are up and running already, with a total of 10 expected online by year's end, Vavrik said. That means that BRP and Key Capture are running neck and neck for operational capacity in Texas. The title of biggest battery operator in the state could change hands repeatedly based on the order in which those companies' projects wrap up.

The broader story is that multiple experienced energy investors are converging on Texas simultaneously. The interconnection queue contains more than two dozen batteries that are each larger than 100 megawatts; some go up to 300, 400, even 500 megawatts."
By definition, the use of the word genocide [as it includes elimination of culture] is not ridiculous.

Edit to add: Downvotes don't make my statement any less true.
True, and I do like pinned messages. I don’t think a “Featured Post/Content” necessarily needs to be removed here.

The intent with this approach is to condense the regular conversation pieces, whereas the pinned messages typically contain content that changes less frequently.
I think the reason linear feeds remain popular is because they emulate conversation, and nothing else. Conversation something everybody knows how to do. Our brains know how to manage relatively complex and disorganized discourse, some better than others.

The problem doesn’t seem so much to be with the real time participants of the conversation. The problem is if you weren’t there to begin with. Reading chat logs is probably like attempting to read the transcript of your family holiday dinner. It would be nonsense. You’d have no sense of time, no sense of delay, no sense of conversational flurry, etc. As a passive “participant” reading the conversation, you’re disengaged from the very construction that led to it at all, so in practice you lose a sense of context or continuity.

So these proposed solutions are asking you to do more than communicate. They’re asking you to also organize. And the problem with asking users to organize in addition to communicate is that it’s easier to just not organize.
I edited the title to include the author's name because the phrase "What's in a name?" is a popular reference in English due to its origin in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." There have been other submissions to HN with this title, but none are this article.
It's actually not that difficult. Yes you do not want to make any mistakes ($1000 fines) but there are companies who will sort this out.

There are plenty of people, myself included who live outside the US and get paid from US earnings with no tax deductions in the US. It helps of course if your country has a withholding treaty like the UK does with the US.
Other intelligence services do not do this to people they have subjugated.

It is roughly equivalent to if the CIA did this to Black Americans pre-1965.
Selling services for democracies that will use it for counter terrorism? There are legitimate use for offensive cyber security
> A 2018 study cited by Haaretz estimated that 80% of the 2,300 people who founded Israel’s 700 cybersecurity companies had come through IDF intelligence.

The specific quote is that 8200 grads have founded a large number of cyber security companies in general, and the article follows by discussing specific offensive and surveillance ones (NSO, etc.). My read of the article is that it implies that most of the 700 companies are similar. The link for the study links to a paywalled article about the survey.

Since defensive cyber security is a bigger market, I'd like to know if 8200 grads found offensive companies at a significantly higher rate than defensive ones.
Because if the West takes a technological stance against products made in China it could have a huge impact on Tech. e.g. it might make sense to build a display making factory in the west, which hasn’t been done at scale in years.
Every time I am unfortunate enough to do something front-end it's just as bad as I remember.

Edit: professionally, that is; when I do front-end related stuff for myself, it's fine, but they are small and I keep things simple - vanilla JS where needed, etc.

There's often wild voting in China related comment threads.
That and the fact that unless you have two monitors often as you save the refresh happens out of view, when you’re not seeing the page, so you lose the immediate visual feedback of what actually changes. When you make minute touches to a design it’s annoying. When I hit F5 myself I can look at exactly what I’m interested and see if it shifted some pixels, if the font size is a bit better or worse...

That's on you; you can easily get software to do that for free.
This is great! Pinged my team and they like it.

1) I think you are to cheap.

And the Israelis are also still going about their business without real obstruction from Western powers, aren’t they, much like the Chinese?

Because Signal definitely will comply with a judge if given good reasons, like "here is a criminal organization using your app, help us dismantle it" and Telegram is the same as Signal with the exception is Russian.

Also encryption is as good as its weakest link, in this case are humans. Probably police flipped some criminals to be informers and now it's running a smoke&mirrors campaign in media in order to send rest of criminals to make more mistakes.

As for the ideal way to do organized crime the main ingredient is to own judges + police and you're set for life. From time to time let some minor transport get intercepted by your corrupt policemen, have some small fish get fried by your judge and stir waters for a few days in media in their favor. Maybe this news is exactly that and while the newspapers are reporting few millions captured you haul the rest of billions without a hiccup.
Grad students voted at my school to unionize. I wasn’t In the thick of it (not grad student) but the anti union messaging was subtle and more effective then I thought it would be. They still voted to unionize but it wasn’t a slam dunk.

All staff here benefit because we get some of the union benefits even though we’re not union eligible.
The article is about girls outperforming relative to boys. In that context anything which penalises boys benefits girls, by definition. This is basic logic. I'm not sure what else can be said here, so let's leave it at that.

What's the point of having a better looking scar if you're more likely to get colon cancer?

Also, given that study itself measured Iron and B12, supplementing Iron and B12 may help scar healing w/o the (red) meat eating downside.
A big reason we use leetcode style challenges is because they can be automatically scored, while take-homes take a lot more to review.

I'm building a developer screens sharing app that, among other things, automates non-whiteboard interviews. Typically we can review a 60 minute take-home in 10 minutes, without cloning the repo. http://paircast.io

Do physicians have to perform surgery to demonstrate their knowledge when they change hospitals?

Do executives have to demonstrate their knowledge of acquisitions or something similar?

Also let’s not act like this only applies to FAANG. Every dev job from internships and 50k entry level positions and up require the same testing. How many 70k/year jobs require testing every time you change positions outside of tech? Very few. Law, some medical fields, and a few other highly skilled fields do require licensing, but you only do that once per state at most.

Tech is the only field I’ve ever seen where your experience doesn’t matter and you have to prove your skills with every interview. In other industries, it’s mostly about personality.
“The nation of Israel was attacked by 7 Arab countries literally the day it was founded”.

So a bunch of foreign powers come in and take land off you and create a new nation state overnight and you’re supposed to just be chill!? Yeah - no shit they were attacked.

I’m not anti-Israel btw. Not in the slightest. I just find it funny that ppl act so shocked that - what was effectively an invasion - was not well received by the locals living in the region in the mid 20th century.

“But it’s their homeland...” Yeah I’d love to see how Americans would react if China/Russia came in overnight and carved out a new action state to give to Native Americans cause it was their homeland hundreds of years ago...

I agree, but I think it's also worth learning from past experiences. Pingbacks do create a significant spam problem. How does Webmention.io cope with that?
I don't think we'll see individual brands take action unless there is significantly more consumer pressure in the west. For many manufacturers it could take years for them to create the manufacturing capacity somewhere else. This is a tricky situation, any military action has the potential to cause more death and suffering. Economic sanctions seem like the only reasonable path forward, but because of the entanglement of China with virtually everyone's economies it is likely to hurt the US and Europe as well. Is the west willing to suffer a severe recession to help the Uyghurs?
Very interesting. I had heard about people being stabbed at a bus stop back in 2014 but I hadn’t heard of many of these incidents.

Thanks for posting!

It seems like concerns about radical Islam are mounting in both the east and west (see Swedish burka ban, new French laws about stopping radicalization).

I wonder what avenues of unilateral action can be taken by China, the EU and US.
I still need to be convinced that more than 2048 bit RSA keys are required. There seems to be no rational reason to use longer keys.

There have been no real breakthroughs in breaking RSA for 15-20 years. So if you were playing the odds you would actually prefer RSA over systems invented more recently.
You can't consider all bit-flip possibilities, you have to consider only those which result in valid domain names. Flipping a bit which results in a w becoming a / will never result in a valid domain name, for example.

Your bit math here is wrong (not sure why).

> "windo7s", but "w" is 01111000 and "7" is 0000111

7 is 055 is 0011,0111

w is 119 is 0111,0111

2nd bit is flipped
yeah, until you meet the system with different make, and now you have to install GNU/Make.
I still can't get over the autohiding of the toolbar feature in Google Meet.

You cannot disable the autohide and it reflows the whole thing for no apparent reason. Usability is yet again at a loss.

I loved this one comparison I read about it. It went:

> Imagine I'm driving on a highway and suddenly I see that the exit I want to take is really close so I have to change lanes. But the maker of the car made it so I first have to take out the steering wheel out of the glovebox to make a turn. That is how it feels to use Google Meet's UI with the mute button hidden away.
Isn't pumped storage hydro kind of that "silver bullet"? At least in places with the right geography?
It's like tech interviewing has become the modern equivalent of the old Chinese Imperial examination: keep your head down, don't rock the boat, study these arbitrary tests to rise in status. A far cry from the early days of HN when the culture was more "think different".
I'm talking about moralizing it from a detached perspective.
Men and women contribute to child rearing in different ways.

Women tend to be more nurturing so their role is disproportionately more important during a child's earlier formative years. They also tend to have a stronger orientation toward domestic affairs. Men, on the other hand, tend to be more strongly oriented toward the public sphere. The home is the focal point. Thus women are at the center of the action, as it were, when it comes to the amount of time they spend with children, while men tend to be more strongly motivated to take care of affairs for the sake of their families outside of the home. The home is also associated with greater safety and comfort, which is something women tend to prefer (we also see this reflected in occupational preferences), while the public sphere contains more risk and discomfort, something men prefer to face esp. when the reward is sufficiently high (this is also reflected in occupational preferences; men tend to prefer taking on more dangerous and higher stress jobs and longer hours in exchange for more pay).

I have used the word "tend" for a reason. These are not two sealed off magisteria. Proportion is probably good way to frame things, though to a point. So men also participate in child rearing, esp. where discipline is concerned (the complement of maternal nurturing is the need for paternal authority which serves the child later in other ways like the ability to relate to authority elsewhere in a healthy way). Women also operate in the public sphere and often also work. Conditions and circumstances can also constrain how male and female roles are expressed.
It's a bit complicated. Some say the Uyghurs arrived in that area 900 or so years ago, some say they have been there for over 6400 years. Most likely, modern Uyghurs are descended from a mix of peoples, including the original ancient Uyghurs, the Tiele people, and some other peoples.

China controlled the region about 2000 years ago during the Han Dynasty, but has since lost it and regained control several times throughout history.

The region is historically important as it is on the Silk Road, and has seen a huge amount of wars. So it is likely that the populations there have been displaced several times.

Apparently, modern Uyghurs are part of China because a plane crash killed many of the delegation of the Second East Turkestan Republic who were opposed to being part of China, leaving a surviving leader who joined the Chinese Communist Party.
