On the charitable and ecological end of the spectrum, there is of course thrift/flea/second-hand shops, church or garage sales. Availability varies quite a bit especially seasonally or following economic trends. It definitely takes a lot more effort.

A bit farther along you can find arbitrage type businesses reselling lots or whole sale and warehouse overstock, army/navy/surplus, vintage boutiques upselling estates or whatever wont sell in retail stores for whatever reason. This is an easy option, but the price is higher since someone is curating a selection or otherwise squeezing a profit from what might've been refuse.

A lot of the old-school sources (flea, thrift) have been experiencing additional inventory pressure caused by another great option which is depop, etsy, ebay, or other online shops (even goodwill has an online auction site[0]). Tons of practical, uncommon, and cool thrift finds are available online at the general cost of people farming thrift and flea markets for popular sizes, driving up prices and reducing popular sized stocks. But this also keeps tons of old weird stuff in peoples closets out of the garbage by granting a more obvious value proposition. GenZ people seem to be embracing this quite a bit. It sounds like a fun side-hustle for a college student.

Frankly, if you are buying regular wardrobe, I'd make the fairly obvious recommendation of just simply buying practical, usable, and good quality. If what you buy works well and lasts a reasonable period, thats a great definition of value to follow towards the best manufacturers. Maybe buy it from a store you like and don't worry about it if we've stopped the urge to buy a little bit of trash because we feel weird at 2am. We is me.

Most of the fast fashion cheap stuff is uselessly flimsy, but maybe it would work alright for a costume or some kind of bedroom scenario. I guess in one respect fast fashion is useful insofar as its hard to find some of that weird one-off junk-stuff in a thrift store or even the mall, because nobody will buy it. Its ugly and the fabric is itchy.

> The Bible could not be more different

I agree. However, that doesn't stop some people from simplifying it to something along those lines.

> Please provide two examples from the Bible of clear and explicit claims about it's "author"

It's hard to proof-text this because the entire bible is to be taken as a whole. The NT quotes the OT and the OT is further revealed by the NT. But, here you go:

- Matt 22:31 - "have you not read what was said to you by God:" (and then quotes Exodus 3:6.

It is very clear that the readers of we call the OT would have understood that what was recorded was effectively "God speaking." The entire Pentateuch + Prophets is filled God speaking to various people.

- 2 Peter 1:21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Simply affirming what we already would already know.

- John 5:39, 46 - "You search the Scriptures...it is they that bear witness about me," ... "for [Moses] wrote of me."

I really really really want this to be true, but I don't think it's wise to discount China as a threat to worldwide autonomy just because they're behaving like typical authoritarians, and have the weaknesses that you'd expect from that kind of government.

Personally I think China's demographic issues should be more of a worry for them. The aftermath of the one-child policy, as well as all the selective abortion (under one-child, parents preferred to give birth to a boy) creating a imbalance between the number of men and women, means their population will start shrinking soon. And there will be a lot of only children supporting both of their parents when they start getting older, not to mention a glut of older folks leaving the workforce without equal replacement from the younger generations.
> China's population is actually predicted to start shrinking in about 5 years.

A little overall population contraction isn't necessarily dire. The concerning thing is a decreasing fraction of the population being working age.

Ultimately, the most dire predictions have China's population halving over the next lifetime, and a sustained, big drop in youth. That's a pretty damning trend.

I don't think there are any knee jerk assumptions happening; TFA details the differences, including the policy you're referencing.

From your linked policy (translated by Apple):

>(2) Relevant vulnerability information shall be submitted [...] within 2 days

In this case, an Alibaba researcher found a bug in an Apache product, so this policy wouldn't seem to apply as Alibaba is not the vendor of the product.

I care: some bad actors in my government vs. forcing an entire massive economy to participate in bad actions will have massively different magnitudes of effect.

There's always going to be bad actors, but preventing 15% of the world's population from being good actors surely is a pretty significant thing.
I mean, if you change the meaning of "freedom" to only mean "having to pay taxes but not for funding wellfare (and being allowed to own and carry firearms, but not information or drugs the government disagrees with)" then the word loses its meaning.

With the same kind reasoning you could argue that the DPRK is the freeest country in the world, for "their flavor of freedom".

> Online dating sites/apps seem like they'd be a nightmare.

So right now it's pretty much considered impolite / not socially acceptable to ask someone out except on dating apps. This is definitely a downside.

But the upside is that a match on a dating app is an explicit acknowledgement of mutual interest, so it's clear that you're meeting up to go on a date and not just hanging out.

I heartily agree. I hate that Apple is effectively negating their promise of E2EE with client-side scanning, which may be the most invasive of all options. But if you aren't a slave to Apple's cloud, then no worries. Maybe I'd feel differently if I used their mobile devices - as it is, I'm Android+MacOS. Any old remote volume is fine for backups - even S3 - if your backups are encrypted client-side and your keys are somewhere physically safe. There was some real screaming when people realized Apple was doing an end-run around firewalls like Little Snitch. I don't expect that to happen again. I block every single Apple app that attempts to call home, and hosts-file-out every one of their domains I come across, and my Mac runs great.

Ultimately I think Apple's trying its best to be in compliance without screwing their users. Fair warning, there is no platform you don't build yourself that you can trust. People who don't protect their own privacy may arguably deserve their privacy being violated. People in the free world need to learn this lesson the hard way, apparently, before they stop voting for clowns who want to gut encryption.

Some things are worse than other things and we react different accordingly. The justice system of.... well, virtually every society with laws, is based on that idea. You do something bad, you get consequence X. You do something worse, you get consequence Y. The law says specifically what's worse than what other thing and what happens.

The only time that a lot of different things has had the same consequence was the Draconian constitution, which everybody agreed was shit. However, they all liked that it differentiated between different degrees of similar acts, and we still do today.

That's just plainly not true. Deng Xiaopeng set the country up for orderly succession, and it did work up through Xi Jinping. Hu Jintao and Jiang Zemin both cycled through office without any of the things we associate with authoritarian rulers. There was no execution of your political opponents, after you beat them to office, or afterwards.

The argument has been that China needed a reset badly. Free-for-all capitalism hasn't been so great for most folks in the U.S. either, has it? That has been the justification for the heavy hand of the government during Xi's rule. There's also the argument that Western-style term limits prevent long-term strategic planning.

All of those are really tempting and solid arguments, especially given how corrupt China had become with capitalism-ruling-all, but one really does wonder.

As far as Alibaba goes, it's to my understanding that there are no real alternatives to Alibaba Cloud in China (unless you want to go for a foreign solution like AWS or Azure). It would seem that the current government thinks they can get away with making an example of the company as they see fit. There may be some geopolitical logic to that, because Xi's government seeks to make China more independent after Trump's trade wars, and if you have a big, wealthy internet company drawing in the country's top talent, then that's fewer that's e.g. going towards the semiconductor companies they now seek to bolster.

Now there may have been a "correct" policy solution to this, a la antitrust, but it seems Xi's government prefers to be heavy-handed. For me, that's setting some scary precedents, because as other commenters have said, it isn't clear how succession will be handled going forward, and it may well be brutal.

Sorry, I meant that the company Robinhood is mostly about buying stocks.

I was trying to say that people used Robinhood because they wanted to buy some products that it was offering, such as stocks, but decentralized systems won't help prevent the situation you deplored. You could imagine having tokens representing stocks, but it'd just mean that a centralized entity issues them.
