The title sounds very cryptic. It should actually be somewhere along the lines of "Asian Boss a YouTube channel interviewed a popular Pro-CCP Youtuber and pretended he was just an ordinary man on the street"
- Much of the cultural damage came from the abolition of the "four olds", specifically a lot of old books, paintings, and art in general.

- Additionally, many religious artifacts (statues, murals, temples) were affected (vandalized to completely destroyed). Most of these being classified as backwards superstition artifacts.

- This also extended to banning of religious customs (holidays, festivals, practices) and modifying aspects of language (e.g. honorifics and Confucian terms were largely removed from the language, with many only living on today in Cantonese or other languages like Japanese or Korean).

The actual impacts were a mixed bag though. A lot of the movement centered around destroying core parts of Chinese cultural heritage in favor of adopting progressive western ideas. Many irreplaceable historic artifacts and buildings were forever destroyed, leading to, ironically, a lot of the preserved stuff being what was plundered by the British or moved to Taiwan as part of the Nationalist retreat. On the other hand, the wholesale denouncing of traditional values in favor of progressivism also had positive aspects, like furthering gender equality (the abolition of many traditional sexist practices) and breaking down the traditional rigid structures of power in the family, giving more agency to younger generations (e.g. freedom of choosing marriage partners).

Finally, one must also not forget that Taiwan also does not capture a particularly "pure" lineage of Chinese culture either. The long Japanese occupation (that only ended after WWII) also came with a concerted effort by the Japanese to assimilate Taiwan (such as forbidding education of the Chinese language). Compared to the occupation of the mainland which focused more on feeding the war effort, Taiwan was treated as a permanent possession which meant the assimilation efforts were much more thoroughly executed.
I'm not siding with GP, and I've little to no knowledge of either China or Taiwan, but to say that culture is Confucius, food and decorations doesn't sound right. That's just tradition, culture is more fundamental, in my mind.
I've got similar stories to others here about dunking on code/documentation that it turns out I wrote. These days I try to assume that I wrote all of the bad code and just can't remember why. Doesn't always work, but tends to take the edge off my sassiness.
That is not a presumption -- it's a statement of fact.
I am surprised to see 80286 grouped in with chips like the 8088/8086, because the 286 does have protected mode. I first learned Unix on SCO Xenix on an 80286.

Does ELKS support 286 in what Windows called Standard Mode, with 16MB of RAM?
My wife is Taiwanese, so I can confirm Taiwanese and Chinese get along fine. Many marriages, friendships and business partnerships cross the Taiwan Strait.

However Taiwanese people don't use their passport to travel to China. China doesn't recognise it. They are issued a travel permit by the PRC, similar to citizens of Hong Kong and Macau.
> And many pro gamers were using 120hz monitors over 144hz at one point.

This was done solely in order to enable strobing as 144 Hz panels at the time were too slow to support strobing which requires scanout speeds equivalent to ~200 or so Hz at 144 Hz.

And strobing is solely used because S&H displays have too much transition and motion blur at 1xx and 2xx Hz.

> Realistically I think the two sweet spots are 120hz and 240hz - not necessarily because they are the best of the best but because they are each divisible by both 24 and 30 (the most common FPS of films and television)

Principally I agree that 120/240 Hz are more suited to general purpose use for this reason [1], but on the other hand this really has nothing to do with the hardware and is purely so because of software limitations. Really what one would like to see is that video playback causes the variable-display refresh to adjust to a multiple of the exact video frame rate instead of janky ad-hoc frame-rate conversions.

This is a common theme; hardware is generally much more capable than what the software/drivers allow everywhere you look.

> All of this however is nothing compared to the improvement that a true HDR display brings

Many people would probably already be quite happy with something that doesn't turn shadows into a foggy, cloudy mess like all IPS panels do, and VA panels as well (but less so).

[1] though 120 Hz does not solve the 50p problem, as content produced by broadcasters in 50 Hz countries, which is basically all of the world that isn't the US, cannot easily be converted at playback time. 25p can just be handled like 24p with 1:1 playback, basically nobody notices the slight speed-up / slow-down and that's how films have been shown in television in 50 Hz countries since always.
Incongruities I: Doing Without Having Done, Having Done Without Doing
There should be a special government office whose sole job is to identify ridiculous situations like this and be able to fast track a pragmatic solution.

Maybe you could call them an arbiter - not because they arbitrate anything, but because they can act arbitrarily, that is, they have the power to make exceptions from the rule.

A lot of people don't have faith in democracy and call for a "strong man" to take matters in his own hands. I believe if there was an office like this, we could take the wind out of their sails.
Come on, let's not beat around the bush.

The answer to this is that we need to log on using our biomedical-crypto-citizen-id, just to go online.

Everything we do _needs_ to be fully tracked. We need to serve our governments all the information about everyone, so that they can catch the baddies* - its essential! It really is true - someone did something bad online, so that justifies the loss of liberty for everyone! Get with it. Roll over. Right?!?

* exceptions apply for key governmental employees.
I deal with this same way I deal with not being vegetarian. I just accept that I am not a good man.
I have my own XMPP server ;-) and I understand the underlying problem here. I mostly wanted to point out that for a new person to quickly try out Movim this might be a stumbling block. As another comment suggested using something like OAuth to smooth this out might help.
I sorted the list by breathability, filtered out the failed ones, and only focused on the n95/kn95/94 masks (as breathability rating for surgical masks does not make sense, because it is not supposed to be tight), and the top 5 were:

The faction that spawned Taiwan was not communist.
I am not OP but I would cite the covid-19 article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19

There is research to support all kinds of propositions regarding the vaccine's efficacy and safety. Of topical consideration is its efficacy in reduction of transmission. The article has been scrubbed (and all updates are being removed) which cite the current research that the vaccine is less effective at reducing transmission against more recent strains of covid-19; and especially compared with typical live-attenuated and inactivated vaccines.

Citation: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2108891

Further, all citations have been scrubbed (and all updates are being removed) which explain that mask efficacy in reducing transmission for children is questionable at best, and also demonstrably harmful.

Citation: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

Further, all citations have been scrubbed (and all updates are being removed) which explain that vaccine efficacy wanes rather quickly compared with typical live-attenuated and inactivated vaccines.

Citation: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2110345

Further, all mention of "natural immunity" has been scrubbed (and future updates are being removed) discussing the reality that those who have already recovered from covid-19 possess natural immunity to the virus which is at least as effective as vaccines.

Citation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8627252/

These are all relevant and credible citations to an article discussing many aspects of the virus, yet they are being actively removed.

I feel the need to postface my comments with the disclaimer that I love vaccines and have three covid-19 vaccines already, and am prepared to receive more. My comments are purely to provide a relevant and factual example to support OP's premise that there is some form of bias present in moderation of Wikipedia now. This bias is extremely difficult to quantify and qualify because there are millions of layers of bureaucracy built into Wikipedia's moderation system. It is almost ungovernable now, and those who have attained sufficient power and coordination can and do use that power to affect bias.
the life of such pig would not even begin, which is a good thing, if wasn't for human to have so much meat on display that it gets expired.
I believe that is how car insurance works is it not? And yes there are different tiers of insurance for those who need to cover more things and those who cover fewer things. If the feedback mechanisms are completely detached from your premiums then you'd have no incentive to actually improve anything.
A skyscraper in a tiny town sounds like a tricky thing to do. Those buildings require a lot of supporting infrastructure that is expensive if you only run it for a single building.
People love micro-trottoire, you can find thousand of youtube channel doing them for country X, a lot with millions of views.

They are one of the form of journalism that are the most easy to manipulate (show mostly one opinion, show "crazy" people for one opinion and only "classy" people for the other, ...) and their value is therefore very questionable (plus, who care what the guy down the street thinks about complex subject he has no education to have a opinion about). Sadly, a lot of people take them at face value.
Where is confucianism taught in modern day China? Don't be tricked by the Communist Party's claim that they endorse his teachings, everything happening in the Mainland today goes completely against confucianist ideas. (Chinese) legalism is much closer to what is taught in China today and the teachings of Carl Schmitt have recently become very popular among party members. Of course it wouldn't look good to the world if they said they endorse and stand for fascism, so they don't say this part out loud.
I'm torn.

Had it not been for Alexander the Great, the Greeks would not have stomped all the way to India. Same foot soldiers. Same cooks. But it was Alexander who got them there.

And yet we loose so much by glossing over the cooks and masons and smiths and horsemen. Stories lost. Lives lost. Knowledge lost. It's been a mere 70 years and the logistics that went in to D-Day are never talked about. It's all cliffs, Private Ryan, and Eisenhower. They put 150,000 men across the channel in a single day. And nobody seems to know about the how.

I only really noticed this when I watched Making a Murderer on Netflix. After each episode my opinion switched between "They were definitely set up by the police" and "They're definitely guilty." If the show had ended after one or the other episode I would have probably firmly held either view. Definitely impacted the trust I put in any media. Or rather the trust in myself to not be manipulated.
The author should consider A Monetary History of the United States by Friedman.

The EFFR is exactly incrementally increased in a way to not immediately perturb markets, to slowly approach its target. It is also well known that there is delay expected between prices of all assets (including credit) to react to monetary conditions.
Should, but nobody will watch that unless they themselves are investigative journalists. It adds a lot of noise to something that's already low on signal.

Query rewriting, a useless and use-hostile technique, strikes again! (No I am not talking about trying to fix spelling mistakes with "did you mean". I mean straight up removal or rewriting of correct English words)

I am embarrassed by the whole field of NLP for making such a big deal out of a task that is fundamentally bad.

Google optimizing for the "average user" comes at the expense of the whole world, because the "power users" who are optimized against literally build the internet for the normies. Cater to the normies for too long, and we see the status quo.

Force the normies to get better at writing their queries. NLP will unironically have a large number of people with the title "query engineer" soon anyway due to the rise of increasingly large foundation language models proliferating. Welcome to the brace new world of botched semantic search!
It's not a bad framerate in itself, but it's an unwelcome one when it has to be shoehorned into a 50 or 60 hz display. It just doesn't update evenly.
Hey there, thanks for checking it.

Effectively, the book is not about the language but about deploying to different service providers like DigitalOcean, Fly.io, render.com or heroku.

The source code is mentioned in the book and available here: https://github.com/miguelcoba/saturn

Hope you find this book useful.
True. I had a somewhat similar experience with the official Alpine-based Python images. The are supposedly leaner than the Debian-based ones, but any advantage is cancelled if you need any PyPI packages that use native libraries.
Now you suddenly need to include a compiler toolchain in the image and compile the native interface every time you build the image.
Also, Ireland. Nominally 1916, though in some sense it lasted forever.
I would prefer that they just returned 0 results and had a list of links for alternative queries.

No doubt that’s bad for some opaque internal metric though.

Really scary that some people don't realize the parallels between Germany in the 1930s and, uh, people not starving anymore.
But you're still arguing about perfectly following a set of arbitrary rules. The very fact that they're arbitrary means you'll get people who'll make up arbitrary religious rules for themselves (and they will perfectly follow those) and the "beliefs of the different islamic branches/sects/schools" will be no more relevant for the beliefs of an individual than a codified national language is for some people's idiolects.
I was thinking the same. Do you have a video of you testing some of them as well? It would be interesting to see how it works!
I used to see these Vox Pop YouTube videos occasionally. Like the line up videos, street interviews and what not. The issue I realized people are never going to give their open and unbiased opinion about something. Because they are moderated, edited and these people are always subjected to some form peer pressure from the group or the producers surrounding them.

Moreover the questions are drafted in a "so you are saying" kind of way. Now that is assuming the production is random and fair and they are not hiring actors or screening people based on their political belief systems, which is obviously not the case.

Being outside of US, I thought there are geopolitical and socially ambiguous questions which were drafted in a pattern that subtly were politically biased.

Now, subtle political biasness would make people think I am a little bit out there. But what I realized I don't inherently have any strong political feelings at all. There are some objectively true facts that are often being manipulated to fit narratives. So it is best just to ignore these shows all together.

These Vox Pop crap is nothing better than day time reality shows like 90 Days Fiancé, but atleast these reality shows are transparently stupid and does not want toy with an agenda.
Indeed, most refutations of superdeterminism seem to be mere "that's ridiculous, my worldview would break down". But lots of accepted science was first ridiculous too. Let the idea float, and let the people try to experimentally test it.
Same. I used a maxxed out Vaio for about 8 years and really the only reason I got a new x1 carbon in 2017 was because the lack of usb 3 (let alone c) was becoming a problem.

I still love that machine. One thing I dearly miss is the real docking station, no usbc cable.
That was under $3k that lasted for 8 years.

I don't know how much I'd pay for lesser machines or how often, but I can't believe this math doesn't work out.

Subsequently, the x1 carbon is still perfect but I just had to get a Framework when they came out just on principle, even though that 2017 x1c is still a pleasure to use and I'd happily use it for several more years.

Get the good one, max it out, use it for at least 5 years, enjoy life all day every day instead of being perpetually annoyed.
Yeah, in that case MobileCoin might come handy.
highly anecdotal, but 24fps tends to give me a headache. It's just ever so slightly too slow, bordering on "slide show".
Big part of Africa speaks French. Language is not related to culture.

Mobilecoin is a quasi-security and not a stablecoin. The price went 5X in the days before Signal announced that they have built MobileCoin integration (in secret).

In a way, crypto has given non-profits a way to take profits out to personal accounts.

You don't understand, it's different today with all the micrososervices, packages, toolchain, kubernetes, docker, cloud, security, product management isn't clear, they change too often, it impacts all the code, we'll have to test everything again, this isn't php, compiling takes ages, we need faster machines with 128gb ram, it's complex because we need to be flexible, otherwise it will take ages when we want to add anything in the future, and we don't want to rewrite the whole codebase in the future, we spend all our time refactoring, the ops guys running the database aren't doing their job - that's why things are slow, not because we don't understand sql, the customer always makes user errors and we have to solve their problems, we need to do more peer programming,

bla bla bla bla bla.. It's just bs by incompetent and deceitful people
You don't actually know how common vaccine side effects are, because standard practice is to assume anything that happens >7 days after a vaccine isn't caused by it. This was the standard used in the trials for example. But from the paper:

"the mean time to onset of symptoms [for VITT] after vaccination is 8 days ... The mean time to onset of symptoms after vaccination [for auto immune hepatitis] is 13 days, ranging from 4 to 26 days"

etc. The trials had many other problems like smartphone apps for reporting side-effects that had a fixed list of 'expected' side effects, without any free-form input field to enter new ones. It's clear when you look into the details here that nearly the entire medical system is strongly biased against any findings of side effects and sets things up carefully to let them make such claims, regardless of common sense or what you might expect ethically.
Artificial valves last roughly 10 years, typically. Sometimes more. You have to take antibiotics at the slightest sign of any infection, to avoid infectious settlement of the valve.

A family member got a "tissue engineered" valve a few years ago, so the cells (from a human valve, salvaged from the recipient of a heart transplant) were removed, and can be colonized by body cells, very mild to non-existent rejection. This seems to be a permanent solution.

The key difference is where the processing is happening. With Facebook, you can delete your account - with Apple's stuff, you'd have to get rid of potentially tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment to escape the spying.
I mean if you must compare, the Nationalists that modern Taiwan derives from is more similar to a _conservative_ party in the west while the CCP is a more _progressive_ (and fascist if you view it that way) party.

That being said, the modern day CCP under Xi's rule has started becoming more conservative, while Taiwan's relatively free political climate has given rise to their own versions of progressive political parties.
> Journalists work for private corporations who write things for a target audience to make money. That's all there is to it.

Not universally true. There's some big corporations like News Corp that from a top level are in it to make money and push a right-wing narrative, but lower down there's a lot of journalists that do things for the public good. Think about the journalists that handled Snowden and Manning's revelations, think Wikileaks, think the journalists that got footage from Gitmo proving the US is committing war crimes, think those that reported on the Panama and Paradise Papers, on Epstein and 'the elite's pedophile rings, the list goes on.

These people have risked and sometimes lost their freedoms and their lives. Would you do that if it was just about money? Or are you just projecting your own motivators in life?
In some countries (notably Germany) it is illegal for private citizens to point surveillance cameras at any property they do not own, including public property.

This includes dummy cameras (in Germany).
Not many, I think. I usually look at the new section of HN and check what has been flagged unreasonably. Anti-chinese post are rarely flagged multiple times.

My opinion is that there are honest pro-chinese people on HN, most likely chinese working in the US who don't plan to stay for life and feel patriotic enough to protect the fatherland on internet forums.

Of course that's a figure of speech, but hey, ok.

With regards to the lunar new year break, Communist regimes actually have lots of public holidays. That's straight from their ideology, so not sure why you think that authoritarianism must equal to oppressing worker rights or the labour movement. That's why there is a distinction between the authoritarian left and the authoritarian right.
