It's a very Western thing to assume that Chinese don't like their government or the actions they take. I would say overall their approval rating is pretty high. I haven't been back to China since the pandemic started though so things may have changed some but I don't think a whole lot. I think if you speak to some mainlanders you will come to realise they consider their government to simply be a different set of tradeoffs vs what is common in the West. Specifically favouring stability and social unity at the cost of individual freedom of expression, most consider it to be a reasonable sacrifice to achieve great things on a large scale. Similar views are commonly held here in Thailand too but less so by the younger generation.

It's not my cup of tea but I have long since stopped assuming they are oppressed or have an issue with how things are being done.
As long as memes are downvoted into oblivion, I can't see this happening.
Trust of public in governments and media fall dawn rapidly, because people will get more angry and tired of constant restrictions, massive surveillance and rising prices of everything. Eventually civil war here and there. Tendencies of green pass and deals will fall, because people simple will not be rich that much to afford "care to nature", priorities will be more focused on survive (financially, mentally, physically...). Later (probably not 2022) being off-line and living in communities became new way of living.
The Techlore matrix/discord group is a great place for this.
I thought so too, so I brought my 1989 Model M and asked everyone around me if they were okay with it, and that the first complaint I heard about it I would get rid of it.

Slowly after that, people started bringing in all kinds of mechanical keyboards.

This is a new one on me. I have never heard of this happening to anyone. My recommendation for you would get a low profile mechanical keyboard like the Keychron K3 or Logitech G915
There's a great scene in Band of Brothers where an officer gives the following advice:

"the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier's supposed to function. Without mercy, without compassion, without remorse."

I feel the same applies in day-to-day life. The sooner I accept that I am a nobody, the sooner I'll be able to function as someone who has nothing to lose should act: without hesitation, without submissiveness, and without regret. And if I can do those three things consistently, then maybe I will become a somebody.
I vouched for this comment. Perhaps it's not exactly what the question is asking for but is well-formulated (if a bit subjective), and comes from a newly-registered user (welcome to HN!), so I don't think it deserves to be "dead."

I think the friction of wheels is lower when the wheels lock up vs when they go with the speed of the road.

From Wikipedia[1]:

> Kinetic friction, also known as dynamic friction or sliding friction, occurs when two objects are moving relative to each other and rub together (like a sled on the ground). The coefficient of kinetic friction is typically denoted as μk, and is usually less than the coefficient of static friction for the same materials.[40][41]

> Engineering is critical, going to a top engineering school is not

Totally agree, I would even go further and say that I think the "top tier" engineering schools are not better (actually I would argue worse because brilliant researchers aren't always brilliant teachers), they just are able to be a lot more selective with the people that they admit and that is probably the biggest factor on why they are perceived as elite. Which makes me roll my eyes at the whole "boo-hoo I didn't get into an ivy" culture that is driving all this resentment in the first place.

> Your basic premise is that the greater proportion a race is of the population, the more mono-cultural the population becomes

Yes and no. I am fully aware that just because I am white I am not of the same culture as another white person. And even more so are the differences between Asian cultures (I have lived and traveled in many parts of Asia). But if you take a general cross-section of people who look similar and live in the same geographical area, and compare them to a different group of people who look similar in the same area, you will find stark economic correlation between the two groups. This is why it is important to be conscious of the way that race is viewed and handled within a society. The argument that "I don't see color" is a very common sentiment amongst actual racists because

1. It makes them feel like they aren't a bad person

2. Conveniently allows them a free pass to not have to take a hard look at their ingrained racial biases

> Income based affirmative action

I agree, this to me seems like a much better metric for providing for affirmative action quotas, however:

1. It would result in very similar outcomes due to the economic correlation between racial groups

2. It could never happen because the American right would scream their heads off about socialism or whatever non-sense their propagandists spoon feed them.

3. Income != Wealth, and wealth is the real killer, so it also is not a silver bullet

I'll never go back. My only regret is not buying all of the colored keycap sets when they were available. I'm missing two.
But they are also better. (Just more expensive and/or bulkier, i.e. their pros come with some associated cons.) Whereas delayed send / batch read only has "advantages" in the mind of the user, who could achieve them for himself or herself quite easily.

It’s also not very hard to modify non-silenced keyboards with aftermarket rings. I did that on my old HHKB and it worked great.
I don't think that anyone is concerned about Amazon talking to Congress. I think people focus on the campaign contributions and the invitations to discuss they're issues in courtside seats or in a sunny tropical location.
I was thinking along similar lines. If re-watching a small number of movies or shows is the primary use case then there are cheaper ways to achieve the result.
Graduating from Stanford with a decent GPA is itself a useful signal and unsurprisingly things are therefore easier.

It gives evidence that not only are you equally skilled as that high-school dropout (as given in the premise of this scenario), but that you have basic life, organizational, planning, and work with others skills to graduate from Stanford.
Hey, I'm a project. That hurts. My wife makes a lot of money, a lot more than I do. Guess I have the upper hand, then? :/

When I first got my Model 3, I couldn't stand the touch screen.

I'm still not a fan. The UI is objectively terrible in many situations. That said, I can honestly say that it's not that big of a deal for me.

Lack of tactile feedback is a big deal though.

But, it's sort of moot. Interactions that require I be looking at the screen and carefully touching icons are typically the kinds of things I'd want to do while parked anyhow. Tinkering with settings, for example, or entering an address for navigation.

A lot of interactions you might do in a "normal" car are also reduced or eliminated. For example, I often need to adjust vents and turn knobs for climate control while driving in my "normal" car. Even though I can tell it to set the air temp to a specific value, it still needs intervention frequently to feel right.

In the Model 3, the climate control just works. If I set it to 70F, it feels like 70F. It's a thing I find myself never even thinking about.

> Lack of a dedicated on/off/volume knob for the soundsystem is such a dealbreaker for me.

The steering wheel has a scroll wheel that can control volume and pause audio. The sound system is never really off though. The car still emits warning sounds through the sound system, for example.

In practice, the scroll wheel thing has worked just fine for me. I've not tried to see what happens when the AM/FM radio is playing; I suspect "pausing" that would either do nothing or mute the audio.

Before getting used to it, the Model 3 seems comically devoid of controls, and it seems ridiculous. But with use, it start to feel totally normal. At least that's my experience.

For what it's worth, I was on the fence about Tesla for ages. I wouldn't have one now if I hadn't inherited it from a family member. I probably wouldn't buy one today, even after having grown to love the Model 3.

That said, I would jump at a much more economical version of the Model 3. One that's just an EV. It doesn't need a glass roof, heated leather seats, folding mirrors, robotic door handles, etc. It just needs to be like the cheapest Kia money can buy, except with a Tesla powertrain.

Pretty huge stakes actually. If she is allowed to provide evidence, then the accusation will hang like the sword of Damocles - as soon as the accused loses favour even slightly, an opportunistic enemy can bring them back up and use them to send the accused to prison.

Therefore the stakes are very high for the accused to take her out before any proof or testimony can be put out.

Alternatively, if you were a political oponent of the accused, you would be concerned for the safety of Peng, which you would now consider an asset, and you would, if you could, put her into what amounts to protective custody ASAP so you could defeat your rival before he can preempt it

not OP but for me it means not sedating myself with drugs or distraction. But to stop what I am doing and let that feeling rush over me so I can study it and learn from what that feeling is teaching me. Why do I feel that way? is it rational? Oh it is just a feeling. It will not last. Creating this habit allows me to be clearer about what triggers my emotions, how to deal with them and fix the underlying cause. Once fixed new emotions or fears always come sooner or later again (and they always will), but I know I can deal with it.

> And then of course the "Rigorous Japanese Quality Standards", because obviously QC is better if the factory is located in a country containing people of the Japanese ethnicity compared to other ethnicities.

This has nothing to do with ethnicity, but mostly work ethics and attention to detail. It is true that this may not apply to all Japanese products, but they are regarded as good manufacturers, akin to German products in Europe.

> Topres are expensive because it's a luxury item and they get away with it.

This is true, they are a luxury item. It is also true that they are inherently more durable than other keyboards based on rubber domes, and perhaps not as durable as many other high end mechanical keyboards.

A couple years ago, during one of my trips to Japan, I went to BICamera and tried some Topres. They are built like tanks, no doubt about it, and the feeling of the heavier switches was rather pleasant. I still like my mechanical keyboard better (have a thing for heavier switches), but I cannot deny it was a quite good product. Perhaps not worth $300, but I could see them in the $150 to $200 range.

He's not a conservative.

You're engaged in tribalism: defining people as members of the other team because they disagree with you on one issue.

I am on the left, and agree with Prasad that the institutional left has done generational damage with its response to Covid, abandoned reason and equity and respect for science. If the "right" happens to agree with me, then that's fine.
You may find that the black people they favor are also privileged. IE a Nigerian 1-percenter is just as black for affirmative action metrics as an African American from a broken family living in inner-city Baltimore, but the Nigerian is probably 1000x more likely to be accepted into an American college.
Why would you use bounding boxes for computing centres!
You are so frustrated you are thinking this is a some sort of 'tesla good / tesla bad' argument where you can vent and throw out unsourced claims. All I've said from the beginning is what tesla's market cap is right now and that it is not a scam no matter how upset you are about it. Just admit that your claims were hyperbolic.
Great refutation, a link to a paywalled article by someone who makes a living from building an incensed audience.
It is an possible theory, but in my view I tend to agree to an quite old theory that I saw referenced in an other Swedish study conducted by the department for higher education. They asked why so few men end up in the teacher profession, and the primary theory presented was based on a (if I remember right) 1950 study.

A person on average tend to be more comfortable and confident in decisions if its mimics behavior of people that look/are similar to themselves.

The teaching profession in Sweden actually start out with almost 50/50 during the first year at university. What the Swedish study found was that as students had setbacks, the students that decided to quit was mostly men. By graduation time a large portion of the male students has quit. Same thing occurs when people start seeking jobs, after the first year, second year, third year and fourth year. At the end the wast majority of men are gone from the profession, most citing "culture mismatch" and not feeling that they belong.

I find this theory much more plausible explanation than hormones, and it also explains why removing gender roles might increase gender segregation. If a person is uncertain where they fit, making a similar decision to other people in the same situation will on average feel safer. It also explain why mentor programs are one of the most effective tactics to combat gender segregation.

The mx board 3 is a remarkably good keyboard - I think I had bought it because it was fairly flat and thin, unlike most mech keyboards, and ended up enjoying it a lot more than expected.
Well how can you find something you like without giving it a serious try first?

I've been playing guitar for 16 years. I'm not pro-level, but I'm as good as I want to be and I love it. Did I love it from the get go? Hell no. I actually hated guitar for the entire first year of practice, but I stuck with it and as I got better I eventually developed a deep love for it.

Trying new things, REALLY trying for long enough to actually get somewhere, is a risk. Question is, are you willing to take such a risk? Or would you rather do the alternative which is sitting and waiting until something compelling falls in your lap?
Probably forever because there's no money in cures.
No, the keys are fixed to the car, not managed by the app. You can delete them only AFAIK from within the car UI. And IIRC it requires you have at least two active at all times.
People don't want it, because it's not used for actual sales.

But for speculation.
Some parts of the world will definitely lock down again in 2022. I'm in Ireland and fully expecting a hard lockdown in January.

I want to believe that the pandemic will move some health systems away from almost just-in-time lean resourcing towards having more unused capacity to soak up shocks without being overwhelmed. I predict a single step in that direction for 2022.

I agree with you there. The key problem is maintaining ownership of a valuable domain, not freeing domain ownership from ICANN or automating dispute mediation.

Microsoft publishes symbols that you can use to decode kernel crashes. The availability of source code isn't my point though: the point is that parsing text debug dumps is stone age crap and we should move to a model where crashes produce self-describing crash dumps that users can load into debuggers that find all relevant metadata automatically.

You shouldn't have to puzzle over the meaning of each register in the x86_64 to figure out what value a function parameter had at crash time
