> rescue workers who need to scoop up what remains of a person riding a motorcycle without safety gear

If it is an obvious death, it is a crime scene until proven otherwise. The police and coroner take care of things in this case. The ambulance is usually not involved after the declaration of death.

It's that we live in a two-face system. The schools, companies, etc have policies that are supposed to eliminate or control bias. They claim it's a meritocracy. But then they tout having a network, "who you know vs what you know", etc. So why are bribes, gifts, etc tightly controlled and even illegal in many areas? So one type of bias is ok, but others are not?

You end up with people like me who are told by a friend that they will open up a senior dev position just for you. That means the other people who post to that role are putting effort into the interview process but all for nothing since I'm pre-selected. So I don't ask them to open posting so I don't take the position. So I think these backroom deals are wrong, have been taught that by society, and so I get screwed like every other unconnected person.
YMMV but I found that programming is an activity I am not productive on a plane.

An activity where I am productive is more theoretical work. Sketching on a remarkable and looking at some mathy stuff was fine for me even on a plane.
> The Korean and Vietnam wars had nothing to do with China, but the USSR.

Frankly, this makes me want to stop reading right here. This is an outrageously ignorant comment. PLA participated in both wars, which bordered China, and backed the Northern factions. USSR did neither.

But don't take my word for it. SecDef McNamara to LBJ:

"1. US strategy. The February decision to bomb North Vietnam and the July approval of Phase I deployments make sense only if they are in support of a long-run United States policy to contain Communist China."

You should not believe everything you read from Washington media or high school American history textbooks, as your comment implies you do. It will make you weak and exploitable.

Perhaps if you connected your own dots rather than asking others to do it for you, they might not make connections that you didn't intend.
Let's ban allowing people to be fat. Obesity is quite deadly and is a drain on the healthcare system.
Was curious so looked it up in PISA[1] and TIMMS[2]. I agree the bottom deciles are being left behind educationally, but I disagree with the implicit sentiment that employers are able to objectively evaluate the intellectual achievement level of their applicants. That would be attributing the labor market with more meritocracy than it has.

> Doesn't that also make it easy for anyone running an ad to run hivemind in the ad itself?

Are you talking about crypto mining? That's a good example of something which is against policy but difficult to fully prevent technically. The core problem from someone trying to exploit this, however, is that crypto mining in the browser is minimally profitable, so you need to do a huge amount before seeing noticeable returns. The more you try to do the more likely you are to get caught, so while it does take some scrutiny from publishers and ad networks, it doesn't take very much.

(still speaking only for myself; this isn't something I know very much about)
Little honesty from cloud providers will ensure regulators don't step in.
the only scheme i've seen in post ipo equity (rsu-s) is that you are given a cash amount that is converted to shares at current price, then the shares vest over time. If the shares go up you get more cash. Assuming an average company (ie tracking the total market) and an average return this is going to be better than cash.
> Not only that, but the loss of coal imports from Australia led directly to massive power outages in the northeastern provinces this fall.

This myth has been repeated so many times, how about: https://www.worldometers.info/coal/coal-production-by-countr...

The outage was caused by misguiding policy incentive (clean air etc), which was seen as a huge blunder, rightfully so, but it had nothing to do with Australian coal.
> Half the problem is no one has actually expressed a goal we're working towards.

Yeah I don’t think the goals have been clear, even if they have been changing over time. I think the clearest goal now should be a 90% vaccination rate to turn Covid into the common cold, and then going back to life as normal, but as long as huge swathes of the population refuse to get vaccinated this goal is unattainable.

Edit: I believe Biden actually set a 70% vax goal for July 2021, and we missed it. No way we can hit 90%. I think possibly for anti-vaxers their goal is simply to not be told what to do and if they end up in an overwhelmed hospital so be it.
This sort of over-the-top rhetoric gives anti-maskers their ammo.

I am unaware of a single family, anywhere on the planet, that was "decimated" by Covid. I hope you really mean "devastated," because then at least you'd be making some semblance of sense.

Also, to ignore that there are studies and experts that back their opinion is a little rich. Sure, you can say you think your studies and your experts are better, but to assume those who disagree with you are "idiots" is, again, pretty over-the-top, and exactly the sort of thing someone can point to and say: "Look, these pro-maskers are projecting."

Why not try to be a little more understanding and share some of this knowledge with people? Do you really need to stoop so low?
Not a lawyer, but: Not really. You do have to present the case to the judge in a certain format to start it, but as I understand it, there's no requirement for you to send notice to the guy you're suing in a specific format. Once the suit starts, contacting the other party is taken care of either by the court or by your lawyer.

I guess it is part of our evolutionary heritage not to be satisfied with what we have. Our ancestors that were, probably had happier lives, but less offspring, and so eventually disappeared from the gene pool. But, as long as we are mindful where this dissatisfaction comes from, we can fight it.

There is some truth in what you say that even in a dictatorship the government needs the support of some people to remain in power.

The problem is that it is enough for only a small minority to support the government for it to keep the power forever.

I have been born in a country occupied by communists and there for many decades an overwhelming majority of the people wished that the current government would be deleted, but nobody could do anything.

It is hard to estimate how many people supported the government, but it is very unlikely that they were more than 5% of the total population.

Nevertheless, that was enough to make impossible to organize any kind of opposition against the government because any attempt would be reported by informers and the initiators would be eliminated before being able to do any action.

Maybe in China there is a majority that supports the CCP, but that certainly is not a rule in dictatorships.
People still need emergency rooms. If those are overwhelmed then anyone needing emergency care will suffer.
I'd encourage you to study up more on the literature and definitions around cultural genocide. You're conflating nuances in subjects. Anyone discussing the subject seriously is typically focusing on one group, usually non-native to an area forcing cultural change on another group for the purposes of, compliance, curbing, minimizing or destroying, the group. See events such as Uyghurs in China, Natives in Canada, Darfur etc. You may value the destruction of a culture such to kill a peoples as lesser than say, the holocaust, and I doubt anyone would slight you on that value judgement, never the less, these are distinct things and need to be discussed equally, even if you're unhappy with the context around phrasing.
I've done it. Works okay-ish for certain projects. Helps if you have local copies of docs and any packages you'd need beforehand. And if you have a part of the project to work on that doesn't need the internet to test. Might help to write mocks or specs for stuff that talks to the internet while you actually have it, then use them to develop against when you don't have it.

On the other hand, it may be more trouble than it's worth to arrange. Are you actually spending more than a few hours a month on flights? That's really not that much time, if it's much of a challenge to be productive then, maybe just let those few hours go and read a book or something.
Because this is a thread about China?

I’m not American, I don’t agree with the Vietnam war and I think the civil war was an ethical difficult decision. That was 150 years ago so not really sure why it is relevant.
The WineHQ official documentation makes reference to WINEPREFIX being termed a 'bottle', and there are quite a few previous open source projects listed with titles stemming from bottles, so I'm not sure that it's a crossover specific term (and if it is, it seems to have been adopted by the open source project too).

And let's be honest, although cute, it's a pretty obvious term for a project called Wine.
The pandemic was a big hit on the development of kids who were supposed to start kindergarten but stayed at home instead. They are on average less social and verbal as a result. I hope they can recover the delay as I am the father of a 3 year old.

I bet a similar delaying effect is happening for adolescent kids who would have started being interested in the opposite sex but all they could do was Zoom into virtual lectures while being alone.

This seems to be the crux of your argument justifying the PRCs sterilization policy. As others have noted forced sterilization is a crime against humanity regardless of reason. Justification of forced sterilization based on a believed “correct” ethnic ratio is abhorrent.

I work in web development at a major, well-known company. My top of mind is exactly what the article is reflecting: how will this product/feature perform on a craptop/low power ChromeOS device/cheap smartphone that isn't even sold in the U.S.? I can say first hand that our designers do not care about this. I have never heard any concerns around this even so much as uttered. I think part of this is due to a rigid 'design system' that, if adjusted to better accommodate for our craptop, etc. users, would require updating many other products to keep consistent. Thus, the problem is handwaved away with "that problem is only reflected on x% of DAU."

There is so much design/development guidance around screen width, breakpoints, contrast ratio, accessibility and so forth, but so little around "real world" testing on low-tier devices. Every designer is using a 5K display with perfect color and definition, or an iMac with a super fast processor and tons of memory; our users are not.
Why does the massive regulatory giveaway to student loan lenders continue to be a given? Why does everything have to be some sort of top-down bailout? The straightforward approach is to extend bankruptcy protection to student loans, and let the courts sort out the mess based on need. Some bondholders will end up losing, but the risk of the regulatory giveaway disappearing should have been priced in to begin with.
> tax purchases out of existence

NYPD officers approached Garner on July 17 on suspicion of selling single cigarettes from packs without tax stamps. After Garner told the police that he was tired of being harassed and that he was not selling cigarettes, the officers attempted to arrest Garner. When Pantaleo placed his hands on Garner, Garner pulled his arms away. Pantaleo then placed his arm around Garner's neck and wrestled him to the ground. With multiple officers pinning him down, Garner repeated the words "I can't breathe" 11 times while lying face down on the sidewalk. After Garner lost consciousness, he remained lying on the sidewalk for seven minutes while the officers waited for an ambulance to arrive. Garner was pronounced dead at an area hospital approximately one hour later.

I agree. I'm 50 and don't feel as though the sun has set on my usefulness yet. I'm definitely experiencing more demand than ever.

My personal philosophy is similar and I very much love the work I do.

1. My role is to help the team.

2. Stay humble. There is always a better way to do something and we're very lucky to be in our position.

3. Practice not talking. Let others have the experience of figuring it out for themselves. Interject if you can help get them unstuck.

4. Always be learning.

They've been 'trying' pretty successfully since 1949 :) Maybe it's time to just cut your losses instead of trying to rebuild the past. You can pretend they're just a territory that wants independence but really the PRC has had no control over it for 72 years.

From the article:

A negative review of Xi's book prompted the demand, one of the people said. "I think the issue was anything under five stars," the highest rating in Amazon's five-point system, said the other person.

Ratings and reviews are a crucial part of Amazon's e-commerce business, a major way of engaging shoppers. But Amazon complied, the two people said. Currently, on its Chinese site Amazon.cn, the government-published book has no customer reviews or any ratings. And the comments section is disabled.

So it looks like they just left the five star reviews and deleted/hidden the rest
The impression most people have is that this is highly available, small, easy to use, cheap, and there is plausible deniability in the intention of purchasing one.

Now, there may be other solutions with some or all of those qualities to varying degrees, but the simple fact that the impression is popular necessarily means that it will see usage in cases where the perpetrator would otherwise not have committed the act.

In other words, "this isn't new technology" is a true but not terribly relevant sentiment.
This assumes that human social interaction somehow is optional, exactly the mistake the parent went to point out.

There is no world where social skills somehow are ‘bias’. They are core.
I guess it depends on what the subject is, and how one defines success. As a product, Viaweb was a failure: it gained no market traction and Yahoo! didn't even use it for very long after buying it. PG and company might not consider the business a failure since it made them rich, but that's like saying cryptocurrency is a success because it made early Bitcoin investors rich. The jury's still very much out as to whether crypto will be a success among the other well-recognized successes in the business world such as telecom, oil, steel, and automobiles.
The one-liner topic do not permit tobacco use. Not in the unconditional way that we permit bacon use. We permit tobacco use at the legislative level only in the sense that it's not criminalized.

Smoking is widely banned in workplaces and public spaces in many countries. I can bring a bacon lunch to work and nobody will even know. A five-year-old sent on a shopping errand can buy bacon.

Smoking is a nuisance and a harm to people around the smoker in ways that bacon isn't.

I've not read reports of bacon being addictive; that someone has to have more and more strips of bacon everyday, and has severe withdrawal symptoms when he or she tries to quit.

Therefore, no, it doesn't seem that we can take a "why do we still permit tobacoo" lament and transliterate it to bacon such that it makes sense.

Moreover, if we could do the substitution so that it makes sense, that wouldn't necessarily make the argumentation false. Presumably, the point of the substitution would be to try to discredit the argument due to it being self-evident that bacon is good and must continue to mass-produced and freely available.

Being sociable has degrees and shades. There's a difference between being a good team mate and being sociable within your team, and being a suckup with some director in your org to win favours. Both are about socialising and the latter is probs more "productive" for one's career without benefitting the company (apart from pushing the clique further).
This feely bullshit thinking is what got these dumb kids into the problem in the first place. There is more to life than a job? Sure maybe there is, maybe there isn't either.

Live with your feels in massive debt, not my problem.

Yes, I am talking indeed about crypto mining. I am also talking mostly about the aspect of wasting compute cycles and thus harming the environment through Google's means. Yes, it is minimally profitable, but that it is possible is weird if you ask me.
> need to be discussed equally,

No, they absolutely should not be discussed equally.

Darfur was an actual genocide, ie. a killing fields genocide. Native Americans were also killed at high rates, the "cultural genocide" came later.

Equating the killing of millions of people from a certain ethnic group with prohibiting certain practices (like France prohibiting the burqa or public expression of religion, like attempts to outlaw child marriage, etc.) is wrong.

You're seeking to launder the distaste people have for mass killings of an ethnic group into prohibitions of certain cultural practices which are not viewed nearly as negatively. There is no other reason to simply call it "genocide" without the (very important) "cultural" modifier.

My child was born June 2019. I really worried about her development due to lock down: exhausted parents, no friends or extended family to interact with. Once nursery reopened her language abilities seemed to accelerate quickly. Kids really seem to thrive on a mix of experiences. Locked in house with mum and dad is not good.
I think you didn’t read my original blog post that’s linked here. I’m not a business. They send the email to me regarding my personal, hobby, zero-revenue website. I have no legal obligations under the CCPA, but I didn’t know that until I spent a few stressed-out hours researching this. Even then I was worried about the idea of being sued over it anyway, and having to explain to a court why I believed I shouldn’t be liable for damages.
This isn’t the only solution. The government could provide higher education at little or no cost to qualified students. As state funding per college student has declined loans have risen. There are other reforms to the system that would help lower costs. Your proposal might work too and I don’t necessarily disagree with them. I just want to point out that it’s not the only solution.
