> any research that use Zenz as starting point...

A research could be inspired by Zenz, then went on to find independent evidence supporting the same conclusion (forced labor in Xinjiang).

Getting inspired by Zenz does not make subsequent research less credible.

You need to list specific flaws in the Broad Daylight report to discredit it.

> On par =/= equal. HKFP better than epochetimes, but not by much...

With the Reuters reporting [1] linked above which reports the same as HKFP, diverting the discussion on HKFP is a straw man.

> The bias of Bitterwinter/HKFP is presuming PRC branches are going off script when acting "two faced" that gets "disavowed" by HQ...

The fact that the Chinese branch can go rogue against the global headquarter has been reported multiple times.

For an example in tech, see Arm China [2], where the damage to the headquarter is much larger than Hugo Boss or BCI.

For me, I started computers at around age 13. Didn't know at the time that most computer jobs were highly specialized, so I absorbed knowledge and developed skills in a wide variety of areas. Ended up as a SysAdmin simply because that was the majority of my responsibilities at my first computer related job. But I also program, design/architect solutions, do low level hardware, etc. That means I can have a job in one area, and use the other skills to make me more valuable in that role than I otherwise would be. So that is my passion, impressing others and being a highly prized asset due to bringing in multiple other skills into my primary role.

The other passion I have (that really is very similar to my primary skill) is woodworking. Anytime I need a particular furniture piece, I design it, buy the materials, cut it up / drill holes, and make my own flat-pack kits for final assembly. This hobby got a lot more fun when I finally realized that I could actually make straight cuts if I properly squared off the saw blade, and started using higher quality wood (instead of standard-grade construction lumber).
It’s fixed

I think you misunderstood me. The SNP has been going on about a referendum almost continually. Whatever might change by “just threatening” a referendum has changed and lost its impact by repetition.
I do care if that data gets leaked or if that data is used by third party companies for things I have bought and I do not want them to know. Why should a bank do my credit scoring based on my what am watching on Amazon or what books am I reading
Which one is it? Or both? Is one still woke if you are only one of the two?
I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be more interest in type-checking in the Rails community at large (maybe I'm wrong). TypeScript has been make-or-break when choosing a company I apply for.
The fall of USSR is a destruction of the civilization in a sense (the lasting victory of "the dog eats dog" world over "all people are brothers").

Do you sincerely think that there is not enough dirt voiced against USSR--it is laughable: the propaganda made USSR to be equivalent to the fascist Germany (the irony)--no help is required.
Maybe 5 products for clients/b2b. That's pretty much it for launched. Plenty of aborted saas platforms that I couldn't calculate an ROI/sales model that made sense.
I used to be like this as well. Vacations of less than 5 days were meaningless because it took me that long to stop thinking about work!

But I managed to un-learn this habit. I work 9:30 to 5:30. I turn off my work brain outside of that. It's not easy, but it's worth practicing.
PHP lets you treat arrays and hashes exactly the same (or at least it used to) but I don't know if it switches the underlying data structures/algos based on usage.

What exactly do you think you would learn about Feynman that is so important you feel your right to his personal correspondence to his wife outweighs his privacy (even from the grave).

It’s not a new or novel debate, one of the more famous discussions on the topic would be the publication of the diary of Anne Frank. Unlike Feynman she wasn’t a historical figure, until after publication of her diary. If you agree with the publication do you object to the decision to withhold publication of a number of pages and if so on what basis?

It’s also not entirely unrelated to archeology/grave robbing. What exactly gives people/governments the right to dig up and loot tombs? Courts are still trying to figure out the remedies where those bodies/artifacts were taken by foreign governments and are currently being proudly displayed in foreign museums to the public. Presumably you might think it tasteless to go down to a local cemetery and begin digging up graves in search for jewelry and personal affects, but would being a “historical figure” really change your mind? Do you not see the connection? If not what is your moral distinction since you don’t think it’s tasteless so long as the market is deciding the value?
Thank you. I had the same experience as GP in 2010 except I absolutely hated it. Can you imagine if people in the US treated Chinese tourists like that?

Web 3 was invented to pump coins mostly. Crypto coin holders: crypto is evolving the web to the next stage. People buy into the message, they can cash out at a higher price point
It's free for personal use.

imho quite a good business model - builds up good-will/recognition, and then if anybody is asked what to buy for "remote desktop at work", it'll get a mention.
There is more to life than how much one can produce, surely. You may be interested in a little piece of literature called A Christmas Carol - the core of the message is as accurate now as it was when it was written, if not more so, and I personally believe that core applies whether you celebrate Christmas or not. (I'm obviously being a little facetious as I assume most if not all of us are intimately familiar with the tale - I personally like the George C. Scott version!)
My community cares deeply about it, but action is taken pretty much only via donations and the ballot box
Space is expanding faster than the speed of light. This means we’ll be able to see the same time in the past, just from further and further away.
I totally agree. But another big contributor to the over-use of cars is the shared illusion that everyone has to “go to work”. I think the extended pandemic is contributing to shattering that illusion.
How can someone be so bad at their job that they realize that a bot that writes to the license file needs to avoid overwriting an existing file? A certain degree of malfeasance cannot possibly be explained as incompetence.
A steelmanned accurate take is that they are not biologically objectively confirmable. Which is more of an actual problem in psychiatry than other areas of medicine. Looking at say past x-rays and noting a tumor that went uncommented upon at the time on malpractice lawsuits for instance.

But notably also not done the majority of time in practice. It is seldom done to the level of say verifying your flu strain, let alone other more expensive and/or invasive tests which do not serve the patient's medical needs.
You should definitely also provide sources and data for your assessment of it being a "trainwreck".

You're doing the same thing you're criticizing, you just gave your opinion, no facts.

> _everything I've seen_ so far indicates a _slow trainwreck_

This happens a lot in this thread. Basically Yes-huh, Nuh-uh arguments.

Of course cases where parentheses are omitted will keep working like before, changing this would silently affect huge amounts of code.

Regarding Making vs Consuming, I realized why I never got consumed by gaming. I can only sit down and play a game for a short while, before my brain starts wandering and thinking how I could build something myself.
My first guess would be for some large environmental tax write-off.
No clue, but it's a thing.
I think the OP is playing 20 questions for their own entertainment. I think what they're not telling you is that there's nothing to prevent someone from making a closed-source product incorporating something which is MIT licensed (but they're still supposed to give credit where due). That's also not the whole story. Squirrel!
Love you all, HN. Virtual hug right back. Merry Christmas :)
I love building Web products. Being a Product Owner.

How: By quitting every company after doing my maximum. I’m deeply sour, because many people around me succeeded younger at being recognized, generally because of ethnic or gender reason, but I had to walk away and I have succeeded in establishing my company and I’m the PO. I’m also the laundry guy, the accountant and the principal engineer with my 2-5 employees, but I’m still making half a million dollars, so it does seem that I was discriminated in companies compared to my abilities.

I wish I hadn’t a million dollars a year and I had a sense of belonging instead, and wasn’t sour, but such is life. I feel like Donald Duck.
That's what I am worried about, from its description the intent looks good but being aligned to only one industry or vertical defeats the purpose of ubiquity. People wouldn't trust it if they all just see is a volatile currency
I did, when I was younger. It was from the environment (lived in Anchorage, lots of bush planes, got into model airplanes). I spent about 8+ years doing it... in 2008 or so would get lost in it. At that time I was in high school, didn't have much money but I built all my planes from scratch with foam. Those were times I felt truly happy/in the moment just being in the sun alone flying. I can do it now sure, have money now but I lost it that drive/happiness to do it. Finding real passion can be hard vs. external factors eg. money. It's like you could say you want to figure out GAI but if you're doing it for money/fame vs. truly pursing it out of personal passion, I don't know if it'll happen (aside from being hard).

I like writing code now, it's like a tool, can build things in that space. Don't think it's a passion though. I didn't come from it, I barely used a computer when I was younger. I say I want to pursue robotics but I'm not pouring myself into it either. Been spending a lot of time consuming as someone else mentioned (tv/social media). Anyway I hope I get it back, true drive vs. drive from sharing/points online. Generally I like creation though, solving things.

Part of the younger days probably just because no responsibility other than doing homework/passing tests.
I see this in Texas: most of the Texans I know (not recent imports) are "meh" about immigration; and, illegal immigration? Eyeroll! My relatives in the Midwest where there's hardly any immigrants? - they're the ones complaining of an immigration apocalypse.

Scapegoats are only easy when you don't have to look them in the eyes. I worked with enough ... poorly documented ... guys in the 1990s. They all made good with the Feds: made enough to lawyer up, strike a deal, pay some fines, sometimes go back 'home' for a few years, then go Green Card & become citizens.
Okay, This is amazing.. How did you manage a perfect score on page insight!!
> because the people around them dismissed it or didn’t support them because their difficulties were not so visible.

Not to downplay any difficulties you or someone else may have had, but a counter to this I am seeing some people claim on twitter that they should just be able to state their diagnosis without getting one and want accommodations for it because of poverty or family would look down on it.

This is very dangerous. People just assume they see a characterization on TV and assume they have that. Symptoms can be shared between different classes of syndromes. ADHD and High Functioning Autism both can share, on the surface, similar sensory processing issues, anxiety, and obsessive thinking in my experience; but I imagine the therapy and day to day accommodations that one with ADHD needs is much different that one with Autism (honestly I barely remember the therapy I got in school and I am hoping more people can chime on this).

No blog; that’s not a bad idea, though. I just post pictures/videos on Instagram like every other good Millennial ;)

Hiking is a way to clear my head. I had an 18 year relationship end not long ago — in 3 & 4th grade I had a teacher who would take us hiking on unofficial field trips. I realized I missed it and the connection with nature plus the isolation one can achieve given you avoid the popular hikes.
No. It probably isn’t that interesting. I lived in a two story home previously and i just felt kind of vulnerable having only one way down to the ground floor.

Having two young girls at the time i wanted to avoid that. We also built out in the middle of the woods and i wanted to maximize our mobility in case anyone decided they could break in without getting caught (in fact you could bulldoze our house without getting caught) Everything else flowed from that.

One interesting side effect is that i can put an exhaust fan in a window of my office and by closing select doors can pull fresh air through the entire house by cracking two other windows open.
I fell in love with developing measurement equipment. It started in grad school, realizing that I really wasn't cut out for a basic research career (in a massively overcrowded academic job market), but that I got a lot of satisfaction from being able to solve hard technical problems.

Today, measurement systems combine many of my hobbies, including electronics and programming. I would get bored with becoming a specialist in a narrow tech field. This is also an area where I feel that I can genuinely help people, not just with immediate business problems, but also where I can credibly justify a socially redeeming purpose.

I like the fact that the ultimate judge of my success is mother nature, who doesn't tolerate bullshit.

Advice: Can you work on something that you actually believe in? I read a lot of comments (HN and elsewhere) from people for whom "work" is just an empty cash transaction, and who respect no distinction between good and bad work. (For instance threads on doing little or no actual work without getting caught).

Or, can you completely detach yourself from your day job, satisfy yourself with the empty cash transaction, and get your personal satisfaction in some other way?
XCB is missing support for some important extensions, though. Such as Xft, so you can't display modern anti-aliased fonts (unless you somehow use Xlib at the same as XCB, I think?).
SNP has announced an intention to hold a referendum in the next year or two several years running. Check out this years party conference for example.

Yes, but as the article pointed out - building fires are no more deadly in countries that allow single staircase construction. I suspect that in reality it's simply an incredible rare occurance that not only you must evacuate(rather than stay put in your flat behind fireproof door), but also that the stairs are blocked, AND the fire brigade cannot clear them out AND the fire brigade cannot get you out any other way.

Yes, past lessons should be remembered but it looks like there is no data that would support building double staircases in reality - it's just too rare of a problem. Same reason why almost nowhere in the world requires outside fire exits like many buildings in NYC do - they are great in idea and I'm sure there are examples of them saving lives, but it's not worth making them a requirement for every building ever made.
Also would like to add one more: Read books especially ones that motivate you. I was in similar boat as you are a few years ago and the books like "The Checklist Manifesto" and "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" helped me immensely.
I enjoyed Spike Milligan’s biography of his time in the army. To put it mildly, it’s rather funny.

In addition to the screen sharing, numerous good tools are already mentioned, make sure you have a copy of the same OS available to you as you help.

Experimenting with other people having to do some of the steps (eg elevated permissions) is extremely tedious and far slower than you doing it on your own and then just telling them the correct answer which just magically works as far they are concerned. This also tends to be less stressful for everybody involved.

For windows and Android, VMs are the right tool as you can get the exact version right. iDevice VMs are possible but not worth it, a physical device is easiest. Fortunately even fairly old hardware runs the on-the-run OS version.

edit: clarity in second sentence
I enjoy working on and solving technical problems, but the “core” thing that I’ve found I really love is working with other people to figure things out together (even though I’m fairly introverted). Once I realized that it shaped my perspective on a lot of work tasks and hobbies.

For example - a good friend and I regularly play battle royale and co-op games together after work in the evenings. The joy of those games, for me, is that we are communicating and working together to achieve something or win. I don’t get the same kind of enjoyment from single player games or games where I’m just grinding alone.

I think looking at “core values” and trying to extrapolate from there might be a good approach (or at least it has been for me). If you don’t have a sense of what those are, maybe take some time to reflect and see if you can find or create them.

I believe "moral hazard" is the term of art for what you describe.
This is not 'foreign ownernship'.

Postmedia is a Canadian News Agency it has nothing to do with the US. It's ownership (broadly), origins, headquarters, management, staff, operations, sales, revenue, even stock listing etc. - everything is Canadian. That there might be some incorporation somewhere is notable, but not important.

Trudeau Sr. is not a reliable source of opinion on this, he hugely influenced the CBC charter and re-wrote it in his own parties ideology, influencing a generation of Canadians with his political ideals.
Have you managed to find decent employment in al of those areas? If so, why worry?

Why not try to accept you are who you are, and apparently this is part of who you are currently. It seems to work out fine (if it does), so no need to worry.

I think joining the EU or not for a candidate country is first an economic advantage and second about freedom of movement.

Nationalist sentiments ('free') are obviously going to have to take a backseat to those. So I don't see how a referendum on that using the dual theme of being 'free' and then immediately joining the EU would work in practice, that sounds like arguing both sides at the same time.
Not on a naked short.
I am not a physicist, but I am wondering if light is a good example to explain a spectrum.

My primary concern is, that light indeed has a primary order (wave length) and composition of wave lengths isn't being talked about here.

While thinking about an alternative example, I came across sound. Frequency also plays a role, but here the composition of different frequencies is important to create melodies. The presents of different frequencies could be the equivalent of a factor being strong or weak.

What do you think, do you have other ideas/examples/thoughts?
Bundler has a nice subcommands for setting up a new gem. Setting up a test framework depends on which one you pick. The big switch from rails is that you get to decide where everything goes. I suggest looking at some recently created gems by prolific rubyists to get a feel for the structure.
Someone mentioned on HN that web3 is so 2018 because it’s basically just a new word for “on the blockchain”.
It does not do that for me. As in, I don't get tired after eating them.

So I think, it is quite likely that it does affect other people differently. And it makes sense for them to cut that stuff out while I don't have to.
> Maybe a consent mechanism to use other's data in privacy safe manner, where anyone can build their analytics models and people can choose which one to follow or choose. Seems like a interesting proposition.

But cryptobros are all about secondary markets. So as soon as you give permission to your data to an entity they'll copy it off-chain (you can't stop them if they can read it) and bundle it up for resale.

All this does it flip the problem. Instead of a singular entity that "owns" the data, everyone owns it. So instead of having no privacy from the singular entity with a wide reach you've got no privacy from anyone.

I hope not. This one is only going to last 10 years. Kepler also only lasted 10 years. Given the time it took to build it, I hope the JWST's replacement is already well into development.

Seems to me most psychiatry diagnoses symptoms not causes at present.

Imagine if you went to hospital with chest pains. They ask some questions then say "yeah, sounds like you have chest pains. Try this medicine it sometimes helps people with chest pains"

But was it a broken rib or heart attack? Who knows.

Hopefully this will change in future.
If that link is the best representation of the lot, then yeah, they deserved to be deleted. Walking around a neighborhood with a high density of a given ethnicity, showing them managing to enjoy the life they have does nothing to discredit the idea that the same ethnicity is oppressed and heavily targeted.

Or to put it another way with a much more mild example, you can make a video full of happy black folks in some of the most backwards racist oppressive parts of the US. The existence of happy people does not negate the oppression they continue to endure.
