>The targeting of the education system is insidious.

The rise in HK liberal values among youth itself was engineered via "insidious" introduction of political education by UK to influence the city's overton window post handover. Curriculum under colonial rule was much more apolitical. Hence why PRC tried so hard to introduce patriotic education to counter such influence. CCP knows better than anyone that education is the greatest propaganda tool of them all. There was early recognition that new generations of HKers would be lost to "foreign" influence ~10 years ago when HK perception of Mainland was highest. Culture war are long wars. The situationw as never tenable. Whether it's insidious brainwashing or mental decolonialzation is matter of perspective, but propaganda works. The HK youths of tomorrow will be sympathetic to PRC / One Country interests. Which for a Chinese city is arguably the way things ought to be.
I do think competition will be limited, though, as Apple's and Google's stores will be installed by default when you get the phone. Most people just stick with the default. Consider browser search engine defaults: Google pays Mozilla a lot of money to be the default search engine on Firefox, even with Firefox's small and declining market share. The holder of the default has a huge competitive advantage in that most users won't stray from it, or even think about the possibility of an alternative.

(It's funny, because this just feels like an echo of the 90s, when Microsoft killed Netscape in no small part by bundling Internet Explorer as the default for new OS installs.)

Voter IDs also create an illegal poll tax.
The OS layer can be compromised - all recent iOS jailbreaks besides ones that rely on checkm8 use a series of userland exploits to break out of the sandbox and gain rootfs access. Nothing is stopping a seemingly innocuous App Store from installing an app that silently jailbreaks the phone in the background to then bypass the OS whitelists that gatekeep these private APIs to Apple-provided apps.
Here's your best source on the issue, it's kept up to date year to year. You can drill down to the county level as well. https://verifiedvoting.org/verifier/#mode/navigate/map/ppEqu...

Note that the map colors DRE w/ voter verifiable paper audit trail as (lightish) red. That's consistent with the prevailing opinion today that DRE w/ VVPAT is inferior to paper ballots with precinct tabulation (because voters do not necessarily actually examine the VVPAT), but does tend to make the current situation look worse than it is due to Nevada.

I just think that Dropbox is an inappropriate file storage mechanism (especially for heavy artifacts being generated locally) for someone moving that much stuff in and out of a long term storage system, especially at those levels. I'm not someone that generates 500GB of CAD artifacts a day, or anything even remotely similar, but I ingest about 15GB of global market data and news a day and I laughed a little bit reading your response (I understand how you were responding to GP, and your response makes sense) because its just nonsensical to use consumer focused products for anything serious.

tbf in a society that would use inheritance to improve the commons your kids would probably be fine. But yes a progressive tax is probably the more realistic option. That said I actually sympathize with OPs take because inheritance is for some reason one of the most accepted, but also most obvious examples of unearned wealth.

Dr John Campbell made a good point recently. The vaccine is supposed to be intramuscular but nobody outside of South Africa is aspirating to know whether they hit a vein. If it goes into the blood stream that might explain the myocarditis and other vaccine injuries that are hard to explain given the supposedly local impact of the vaccines. Not a health care practitioner myself so it’s hard to know if this is a realistic concern. I know the nurse didn’t aspirate when I got my jabs. According to the WHO it’s controversial. Seems prudent to me.

a way that I've found to do this securely is to have a small constantly running cloud server $5 pm with OpenVPN on it. Then have your server connect and join the VPN on both laptop and server. If it's configured properly you'll be able to get them to communicate

If they don't run an app store, they aren't a covered company, and therefore not required to allow a third party app store. At least that's what I gleaned from my reading of the bill.

I don't think they would be able to bring a successful suit, the bill doesn't outlaw shutting down an app store. Apple could just say, we don't think running an app store is worth it anymore, and therefore exempt themselves from the bill.

I do think it's crazy, but still possible.

No one discusses IPCC reports. It came out this week, and was discussed at most 10 min per day on major news channels.

IPCC scientists are volunteering for the report, they are not wealthy. They are literally spending their own free time and money writing thousand-pages long reports.

You just choose not to believe the most rational answer because it's inconvenient.
No. The game provides the map in that analogy and you provide the GPS.

The question was: Are you not actively preventing learning? Seems from your answers you are aware of that but pretend to not notice?
There were LOTS of news articles about it when the transcript first came out a few years ago. Just Google "raiders of the lost ark transcript controversy"

Here's why people care: It surprised a lot of people how casually these 3 famous intelligent creative people were talking about making their main character an abusive creep. Except...they didn't think it would make him an abusive creep. This tells you something about the normalization of the idea of a 25-year old man sleeping with a twelve year old girl. Either by the parties involved or their perception of the audience.

By modern sensibilities, this would be an irredeemable character trait. Does that say something about how things have changed in the last 40 years? Is that worth acknowledging? etc.
> Actual impostors don't have imposter syndrome

Actual imposters van have imposter syndrome (though it will be relative to being an imposter, not the thing they are pretending to be.)

> because they are talented at the only thing that matters to them: Screwing over everyone else for personal gain.

(1) Just because you are an imposter doesn't mean that is the only thing that matters to you.

(2) Just because you are an imposter doesn't mean you are talented at it; there's lots of talentless imposters who aren't very successful at it.

(3) And, most importantly, just because you are talented at the thing that matters to you doesn't mean you can't have imposter syndrome relative to it.
There's no "orthodoxy". The community has various opinions—it's as simple as that. Certainly the majority view on HN is not pro-Apple on this particular topic...have you missed the all of the dozen or more major threads?

As for claims that the mods are censoring you...if only knew how little we care what your views are. We stopped having the energy for that a looong time ago.

If your comments are getting downvoted or flagged, you should try posting more substantive comments and make sure that you're following the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. That will take care of 95% of the problem, and if you experience some of the leftover 5%, we can look into it.
I understand what you're saying but ultimately it's still the investors paying Fitch. You can clearly see they have no quid pro quo with the company or product they are evaluating. All your saying is who's invoice the bill appears on but the company is not paying that bill. The investor pays through the acquisition.
All of that is conditional of course; you are correct in suggesting that those benefits end at those times typically.

Some situations change that; one of my children is special needs and may never be independent so would stay in my healthcare for life. The transfer of GI Bill is relatively recent but if your father was even 0% disabled (I don’t think there’s a vet that isn’t) California would have waived your tuition to any state school after you became a resident. There are other situations that result in free college.
If population immunity was 50%, it would still be worth the myocarditis risk, since half the numbers are still vast and terrible. I imagine the inflection is up around 70-80% immunity, and there's the "no more deaths from corona" point to consider as well. But we don't know what the end of crowd development and transmission of variants is yet, so it's hard to predict the earliest point in time we might usefully reevaluate the balance of risk-of-covid versus risk-of-myocarditis. That sounds like an excellent problem to have, relative to today.
You want an end to end encrypted cloud provider like ProtonDrive or Sync.com. You can also consider using rclone or Cryptomator to encrypt data before adding it to a consumer cloud sync solution. All come with the usual caveats (do you really trust Sync.com to withstand a state actor?) and user experience compromises.
> But it is a foolish thing to say you are 100% free of emotions in your views

No it's not. You just make all these statements that are baseless. I can say my political beliefs are based on rationality because my political beliefs are simple.

I never said my views are free from emotion. I said my views are 100% based on reason. I vote in my direct self interest, my values are based on my self interest, my goals are to advance my self interest.
Please be specific. Are temperatures especially high? Is CO2 especially high? If I'm honest, these are trick questions, because the answer to both is obviously no. So, what are you referring to? Heatwaves, storms, droughts?
I live abroad from some time and never had to use VPN, so vital is relative. The more annoying thing is phone numbers. More and more web services are using it as a security measure, and a lot aren't programmed to deal with international numbers. A bank in my country is especially idiotic in that respect, and I keep a monthly 5€ phone plan from there just to be sure I'll not lose access to a few websites.
Hit me up at my email in my profile if you want to chat about this stuff, I have a lot of thoughts on this but it's probably off topic for this post and I usually am just hacking stuff together to get my systems up and running.

What you're talking about is very sensible and I was equally surprised that Airflow didn't support long running tasks but you can layer over the workflow orchestration system a kind of ad-hoc higher order system that enables what you speak of. It kind of feels ugly but can get a lot done.

There are definitely ways to accomplish what you are saying using a combination of DockerOperators + ephemeral WebSocket servers running within containers as semi-long running tasks, and basically just have a dumb/heavy Redis container that persists to run streaming between the coordination architecture across these data flow jobs.

"Work in progress" lol!

EDIT: updating Airflow from 1.10.10 to 2.1.2 recently was a huge pain in the ass for what it's worth, good luck to all our fellow protagonists that are dealing with multi tens of thousands of task DAG setups... big ooooff
That's answered in the 5th item in the list, nearly a full page long in response. Basically amounts to:

a) the election-tabulating machines were never connected to the internet

b) we've already given you (well, the cybersecurity experts you hired) enough information to prove it

c) we have had two other audits that agree with us that they were never connected

d) actually complying with your order presents severe privacy and security risks

e) it also is a very severe operational router, since the senate was essentially asking for physical custody of all county routers, which would presumably include things like the routing to the county website to cross-reference real estate deeds or the like

But sure, let's ignore their actual claims as to why they didn't do it and imply that they didn't do it because they're afraid of producing culpability of criminal actions.

The subpoena is not a judicial subpoena at this point but a senate subpoena, that's why the senate would need enough votes to enforce it.

This is a bit confusing because there was a judge who decided the senate's first subpoena was valid [1], but that too was still a senate subpoena.

They certainly could try to go to court to get an enforceable subpoena, if they do I'll make some popcorn.

As for the routers my current position towards the AZ auditors is "put up or shut up". If the EMS really was connected to an external network then they must have some event logs somewhere showing an unexplainable MAC address or something; if they don't then asking for unrelated routers just feels like a fishing expedition.

No. I'm saying, if you look at the web pages of fearmongering web sites, they'll tell you something unusual and scary is happening. If you compare what they're talking about to historical records, you often see that what's happening now is not particularly unusual or scary, because worse things have happened before. We forgot about those incidents, but they are recorded in books. The fearmongering web sites don't check those books for precedent, because if they did, they wouldn't have anything scary to say.

Actually I think trying to eliminate death (at least if we're talking about letting people live >1000 years or choose when they die) is extremely bad and will have awful, awful consequences.

You think inequality is bad now? Can you imagine what it will be like when people can amass power and fortunes for thousands of years? How progressive do you think our views on race and sex would be if there were still people voting who were 800 years old? Or science, for that matter (science progresses one funeral at a time, as they say). House prices are astronomically bad where I live... how bad will it be when houses are held forever?

Old age and death create the space for our lives to be young and free, albeit for a short glorious period. I don't doubt it will eventually happen, and the world will become a far more static, miserable place as humanity pushes endlessly forward in our quest to avoid pain and grab all we can for ourselves instead of trying to enjoy life for the ephemeral experience it is.
You won't merge into anything, you will become nothing. No rest, no respite, nothing. Your body might "merge", but that's irrelevant.

Your consciousness - who you are - will end, truly, once and for all. You will never again experience hopes, dreams, memories, or love. You won't experience anything at all for the rest of eternity.

> more technological power requires higher level of consciousness (goodness)

IMO, problem here is you don't see it actually happening. Similarly Kremlin sees behavior of West with e.g. Kosovo as the same as what they did in Crimea. While West brings comparisons and differences, they are dismissed by the other side. A sort of stalemate in finding common ground, but in Russia the Kremlin's point of view is quite often shared by some selected few.
Excellent examples!
Definitely my favorite episode, and beautifully optimistic. I like how they flipped the script on the generic and easy "immortality bad" hot-take.
I completely agree with your sentiment, but it puts the company in a difficult position when your competition offers similar functionality for "free" (because you already paid for Office or their primary revenue model is different).

When we are looking at deaths on the cosmic timescales you're implying, we can return to that point. For now, our lifespans are pathetically short. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
I feel like deep down inside, this unspoken time limit is contributing to all the burn out we read about. When you have such a short window, it amplifies the pressure.
