Russians are different. For many Lukashenko's Belarus was their soviet dream, carefully conserved and preserved. For many Lukashenko is dictator along with Putin. Some Russians don't even understand why Belarus is not in the Russia and will welcome every move to unite those countries.

I don't think that there's a singular view to Belarus.
Hard to even approach answering this question without some kind of workable definition of "objective" and "universal" and "morality." What does a person mean when they say all these words together? My best guess would be something like, "All people would agree that any action recommended by this morality are right, and any action prohibited by this morality are wrong, and this morality either recommends or prohibits all possible actions." To me, the answer to this question is pretty obvious: there is no possible moral system that matches this definition.

Indeed. This is why I wondered why the comment was singling out communist bureaucrats.
Because you still have things you're for and against. But they shouldn't be aligned along trivial lines like sports, religion and politics. And yeah I know calling these "trivial" sounds odd, but they really are.

> The value of a fiat (or any) currency comes from...

You're incorrectly parroting a definition without understanding it.

The items you listed are the functions that a currency needs to provide. They are not the source of its value, they're preconditions for it being able to have value in the first place.

The only possible source for the value of a widely-used currency is the wealth that it represents. That's what money is: an abstract representation of wealth, that can be used in all the ways you described. Once you understand that fundamental fact, you'll find it much easier to understand other things about money, and you'll be better able to understand why the "intrinsic value" or "underlying real asset" of a currency is an essentially irrelevant property.

The rest of your comment goes off at a tangent about what Bitcoin is. For that discussion, try r/bitcoin on reddit.

I'm surprised this isn't covered on wiki, or at least PRC family planning article.

https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/martinwhyte/files/challeng...

Pg 149.

>Was China's Birth Control Program Voluntary in the 1970s?

>With these ambitious goals a national campaign of mandatory birth planning was put into full motion. The slogan that summarized the three demographic components of the campaign was “later, longer, and fewer” (wan, xi, shao 晚、稀、少). “Later” referred to the effort to enforce late marriage—at least after age 25 for brides and 27 or 28 for grooms in the city, and after 23 for brides and 25 for grooms in the countryside. “Longer” referred to requiring greater intervals between permitted births—at least four years. “Fewer” meant limits on the number of births allowed—no more than two children for urban families and three for rural families, with penalties for those who did not comply

>falling in the 1960s

With respect to graph, plot some 101 PRC history. Early 60s... residual of Great Leap Forward famines. Mid 60s onwards... Cultural Revolution. Until mid 70s.. when Two Child Policy went into effect, then One Child. These were not periods of general development. This was a period when PRC was still incredibly impoverished, and the default strategy for poverty generally is to have many children because you can not ensure all their survival and to maximize chance of being taken care of.

>would have achieved the same result

There are several averted birth studies for PRC family planning ranging from 100s of million to 1 billion by mid century accounting for descendants. The consensus is family planning is responsible for maintaining low births. I suppose we'll have to see how India manages, they started with 70% of PRC population in 1950s and is set to surpass PRC by a 300M @ 1.7B by 2050s. If argument is development, PRC didn't pass India in per capita GDP until early 90s. That said PRC under communism was more egalitarian for women, but education didn't pick up / restart until after the famine and revolutions either.

E: But most information shows PRC without family planning would have pushed ~1.7B-2B people, maybe they would have hit carrying capacity before, but 500 extra million mouths to feed and alleviate poverty is no joke. IMO, it's a sufficiently massively structural demographic problem that would have caused the country to implode.
Well these fish were very large. I cannot imagine what a fish ladder would look like. There is one for salmon where I live and it is not that big. They have been trying to bring salmon back for over 30 years. Not much luck so far.
As much as I think global unity would be nice, it reminds me of hearing that cows once their herd reaches a certain size split off into two herds [1]. If I'm remembering correctly, a mathematician, biologist and cattle farmer all saw reasons it might be good for the cows. I wouldn't be surprised if the same forces acting on the cows are acting on us.

A company creates a coin with a maximum amount of coins, the service they sell is valued by customers, the money from customers is used to buy their own coins back and destroy them.
It is not just coins, there are services tied to coins.

So don't run Wikipedia from the most expensive place to live on the planet.

Wikimedia doesn't need to recruit top engineering talent; it's now a maintenance project, and it's open-source. Wikipedia content is created by volunteers, and significant editorial decisions are made by admins, who are usually volunteers. These volunteers mainly manage themselves. Most editors have never communicated with a staffer.

This "Tides Trust" is not a proper destination for donor's money. No donor thinks their money will be spent on some random project dreamed up by Tides Trust.

And it seems pretty irregular to me to treat a donation to the Tides Trust as "expenditure". The correct name for that money is "profit".

Texas ranks 37th in Poverty Rate at 16.0%(poverty rankings by state). The Poverty Rate of Texas is slightly higher than the national average of 14.6

Texas has one of the lowest literacy rates

Approximately 5.2 million Texans were uninsured last year, or about 18.4 percent of the state's population. That's double the national average of 9.2 percent.

The 2021 Report Card resulted in a Texas GPA of a “C”. It graded 12 individual categories of infrastructure. Energy received the highest grade earning a “B+,” yet the wastewater and levee networks need additional support having both been graded a “D.”

So I'm not really seeing the greatness despite more people moving here.

I don't even like Homebrew, but I use it because of the network effect. Several years ago I tried a bunch of package managers in identical VMs on MacOS and noticed Nix was slower than all the others (all operations), missing packages, and some packages were broken. During that experiment I really liked pkgsrc, Homebrew didn't have a few things I needed and outright refused to install TeX Live (it literally said it was too hard to build). I stuck with MacPorts for a few years until MacPorts started having many broken packages from lack of maintainers, then I reluctantly switched to Homebrew.
Google, in general, does not sell or give away data. What they do is charge advertisers to target ads to users based on that data.

The distinction is that 3rd parties only have access to Google UIs or APIs based around ad targeting selectors. There is no API for 3rd parties to just download raw user data from Google.

This is in contrast to Facebook, which used to allow “apps” on their platform to suck down raw user profile data in large quantities.

It seems very likely that Google is using their user data for non-ad purposes, for example using Google Photos data to train ML image recognition engines, or using Gmail data to train conversational AI systems.
> I mean, I know that adtech spy on us a lot, but I didn't knew for example that using Bluetooth while the app is shut down was possible.

And now that so many of us leave BT on all the time for our BT earbuds and airpods, I'd assume it's become better at tracking, not worse
Germany had about 65 million in the 1930s, before WW2 and it's annexation binge.

That increased to 80 million because of migration. Yes, you can always import more people from countries that have a lower standard of living than yours. Importing people from countries with higher standards of living is not so easy. And there are significant long term costs to that approach as well as benefits, especially the costs of integration, which is often very hard to accomplish, as well as ethnic strife and racialization of politics. But migration is not something that China (or most Asian nations) are interested in. They will need to maintain their population organically. And I really see no reason why places like China or Japan would be worse off with fewer people. Once the population drops, land becomes cheaper and those less likely to have kids exit the gene pool. Things stabilize at a lower level where cities are less crowded. Declining population is a sign that the society isn't conducive to reproduction and it comes with its own solution of population declines until things are brought back into balance.
How do we know "the wrong checkbox being selected" was a Preview problem and not something to do with non-standard PDF construction ?

Also, I don't know about you, but AFAIK pretty much all software these days (whether closed-source or open) comes with a great big disclaimer attached effectively saying "you're on your own" if the software functions in an unexpected manner.

For some reason most people, including swedes themselves, seem to think that Sweden is the relatively carefree egalitarian welfare state it was 20 years ago. It isn't. Between gentrification, privatization and the rising housing it is all about status these days. Even the middle class in Stockholm have millions in privileged windfall from the housing market they need to protect at all cost. So fundamentally you will always be looked down upon for having to work for it as the prospects are comparatively bad. Most everyone else it no longer part of the main narrative.
So you are speaking about MEE:

http://www.mee.gov.cn/

Not sure why but they also have an English page:

http://english.mee.gov.cn/

It is one of the ministries under the State Council. Technically all Ministries are on the same Level so they enjoy equal power. In reality some ministries have more weights (e.g. NDRC apparently have more power than some of the smaller ones) and MEE has recently gained much more power since the elevation of President Xi. The following paragraph shows its power.

Quote in Chinese:
组建生态环境部。将环境保护部的职责，国家发展和改革委员会的应对气候变化和减排职责，国土资源部的监督防止地下水污染职责，水利部的编制水功能区划、排污口设置管理、流域水环境保护职责，农业部的监督指导农业面源污染治理职责，国家海洋局的海洋环境保护职责，国务院南水北调工程建设委员会办公室的南水北调工程项目区环境保护职责整合，组建生态环境部，作为国务院组成部门。生态环境部对外保留国家核安全局牌子。不再保留环境保护部。

Explanation:
MEE took a lot of power from other ministries and departments:

0 - It originated from the Ministry of Environmental Protection

1 - The responsibility to tackle with climate change and reducing emmision (from NDRC)

2 - The responsibility to monitor underground water contaimnation (from Ministry of Land and Resources)

3 - A bunch of responsibilities regarding water pollution (from Ministry of Water Resources)

4 - The responsibility to guide argricultural pollution (from Ministry of Agriculture)

5 - The responsibility to protect ocean environment (from the State Oceanic Administration)

6 - The responsibility regarding environmental protection in South-to-North Water Diversion (from relevant officials)
I have to scratch my head every time I see a blog post about creating a dev environment that doesn't use volumes like this. IMO, this is the way to go and what Docker was meant to be as a dev environment.

Maybe it's because I'm never confident in the changes I make, but my style is to write a few lines at a time, save, re-run or refresh. I can't imagine having to do a docker build every code change. If you do the later, it's just nominally better than developing on a remote server, which brings its own challenges.

I've always wondered about the timing when population control was first implemented, and their intent.

1. Did population control allow Han Chinese/CCP to maintain their dominance in size over the growing minorities who were largely still living the agrarian lifestyle?
2. Minorities' would have their growth exponentially reduced over a hundred year.
3. And by increasing it now, Han Chinese can now exponentially grow again with momentum over minorities.

So in the background, it seems there's more than meet the eye to maintain Han Chinese power over other minorities in the country.Similar to Japanese (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ainu_people) and other "race"; same strategy and intent, different tactic.
excellent, thanks; btw u tracking me lately? :Ð
Why does the distinction stop with the human convention of the animal kingdom?

Is it immoral to make a plant species extinct? Is morality rooted in subjective experience?
Yes it needs "other". We can however define this "other" intelligently to encircle the negative phenomena of society and define the rest as the society we are. And hopefully it doesn't split even parents and children or husbands and wives like it does right now, based in silly things like sports, religion and politics. By saying this I've pretty much killed my cred for anyone reading this in the US right now. But that's kind of the problem.
There is no mention of how the internet connectivity is.

Would you be willing to pay for their excess population then? As a US citizen? Because the excess population puts more pressure on China's infrastructure and you're pushing for no birth control.
Bigotry means intent. I think the author was just misusing that word.
I don't get the link between enterprise software and predictive optimizations. But call stacks don't prevent them (the argument seems so assume you can only really store data on the stack), nor does it prevent automatic optimization (like call site monomorphisation in a dynamic language or memoization - again, that's entirely orthogonal), nor am I sure it always should be automatic instead of in a library; seems like they just chose the words "SDSM", "predictive optimization" and "enterprise" and threw them together. Their "silver bullet" seems to be a rules engine.

No AFAIK. The actual traffic is encrypted using a block cipher. Asymmetric crypto is only there to verify each peer's identity and establish a common secret for the symmetric cipher.
Sure, that's one of the cases when this might needed in prod (although in the parent post I meant only access to honest-to-god data files, not things like bindmounting /dev).

In practice bindmount smell can also be somewhat alleviated by using things like k8s device plugins to request things at a higher level ('I want GPU access' vs. 'please bindmount /dev/drm... and use the proper modes'). It's still effectively a bindmount, but some extra security precautions can be made to ensure exclusive access and that no arbitrary mounts from the host are permitted. And things like k8s device plugins can also poke at file modes and other namespace magic at runtime so that the end user never has to worry about things like UID/GID and chardev modes. That IMO prevents the smell associated with random host bindmouts.
Socratica Videos on Abstract Algebra
I actually just started watching the Socratica videos on Abstract Algebra - I know the presenter is an actress and not a mathematician but I have to give it to her, she is a really good at "teaching", even if it is "scripted." I don't expect to properly learn Abstract Algebra from these videos because the total length of all the videos is probably like 4 hours and you have to do exercises to truly learn but I highly recommend Socratica - Abstract Algebra as something to start on. It made the subject of Abstract Algebra appear so interresting for me.
>From this perspective, your moral judgments about the insurrection, or about some racist or sexist policy, are viewed as objects of study rather than as candidates for truth or falsity. The scientist is not here engaging with philosophical issues about the potential accuracy of moral claims. The scientist instead approaches your judgments simply as psychological facts about you, causally traceable to various influences—just as with the thoughts and feelings that led to the social injustices you’re responding to.

Am I the only one terrified of this? This type of "study" has been abused very well in the past, phrenology being just one decent parallel. People have believed bad science in the past as "good" science. There's zero reason to imagine we're immune to it in this day. Some asshat out there is going to "prove" something about a demographic and use this as a means to enforce action. Just going to throw it out there, if they already dislike a demographic, they're going to prove how they should get arbitrary punishments or re-education because, "the science says so". It takes one shitty paper to fuck things up for a long time, cough cough anti-vaxxers cough cough. An average population is dumb as hell. It's even worse if they're convinced if something was scientifically proven, even though it wasn't. Take all the bad media reports on random papers released. That chocolate diet one fucking flooded the media even though it was total trash (yes, I know it was a hoax paper to prove the media is a dumpster fire). Just imagine the political party that doesn't like you get's ahold of this narrative. Fuck it, while we're at it, is it then better for your preferred party to wield the weapon first? Does that make it morally right for anyone to wield it or just who you approve of because you're perfect at deciding someone's character?
