Well basic math, there's more than a billion of them. How do you think the Communist party displaced the old regime? If the people were to march on Beijing the government would cease to exist within one day, which is of course why it actually tries really hard to keep the people happy.

This is of course orthogonal to both the topic at hand and reality. The Chinese are quite content with their government and abuse of low-status criminals virtually never causes political turmoil. (not even in bleeding heart democracies)

Also as a sidenote, it's not a totalitarian but an autocratic country. As William Gibson once remarked about Singapore, it's on its path to be Disneyland with the death penalty.
Its not a lot of work to have a quick line "HaXe (which Heaps is written in)...".
I'm sure it would. If nothing else, the underlying premise of most SF/F is "What if...?" and presumably the practice of thinking about consequences makes you nicer, or at least slightly more compassionate.
this reads like a too good to be true pitch, so I have to ask, what's the catch?

edit: these are breeder reactors? aren't there still waste and other concerns here?
Hey if I’m getting paid I’ll tell these jokes all day
> This is HN, so I'm assuming most of us live in the terminal anyway. I'll never understand why people prefer MacOS for development.

I've been a developer for over 3 decades, doing multiple languages/ecosystems across the full stack. I code in the evenings too. I'm pretty much a stereotypical geek.

I also do general, consumer, non-techie stuff too.

- If I only did development then yes, Linux is the obvious choice.

- If I only did consumer stuff then Windows is the obvious choice.

- However MacOS has the best combination for both sides of that equation and second place on both aspects is better for me than the combination of first and last place that both Linux and Windows offer.

(I do still maintain a separate laptop with Windows 10 and Linux Mint though).
I'm a fan of MessageEase. Really great product and it still wows people when I use my phone in public.
> Up till about 1985 the window [of what you can say without being cancelled] had been growing ever wider. Anyone looking into the future in 1985 would have expected freedom of expression to continue to increase. Instead it has decreased.

I think that whether this is or true or not depends a lot on how you define your terms. If cancel culture only means "I expressed an unpopular opinion about gay rights on TV and then lost my job", then yes, the window is narrower now than in 1985. But if it also includes "I expressed an unpopular opinion about gay rights in a bar and then got beaten up," it is not.
This is a commonly made point, but is misleading. The historical usage is for a hypothetical or unknown referent not a specific, known person.

Furthermore, generic he has also been around for hundreds of years. So we should keep using that too, right?
I think constructive recognition can take two forms: criticism and complement. Personally, I think I mostly get the later and not enough of the former. If you get neither, you wonder why you’re even there
I basically have the same setup, using nextcloud notes. The notes aren't in plaintext, they are in markdown. Joplin can use nextcloud has a sync backend. There are also other note taking apps that can use nextcloud has the sync backend but in the end I wasn't happy with anything. Going to test drive Obsidian and dendron.so to see how they go.
Open source licensing incentivizes inventors to release their creations to the world to benefit humanity. Their copyright is protected and depending on the license that picked can control redistribution. Their work is protected against people passing their work off as their own, which is the intention of the patent idea.

Patents do nothing like this, in fact, they cause inventors to invent around “protected ideas”. Technology history is littered with examples of inefficient implementations become standard to avoid patent infringement. We end up with negative-incentives with patented ideas. In technology, a patent is a sure way to ensure that an idea is never implemented.

Nothing about patents, or the idea that an idea is exclusive and protection worth is worth salvaging. Patents do not achieve their stated goal.

Closed source software is inherently untrustworthy. The incentive to disclose ideas protected against plagiarism can be achieved through both public trust in our free and open source ecosystem without the need to enforce state violence because some dude dreamed an idea once and wrote a paper.
I answered above in relationship to foreign interference and how sophisticated it can be. Ukraine has been of interest since the end of WWII to American intelligence, with many former Ukrainian Nazi Collaborators and Resistance fighters being approached by British and US intelligence.
Why? Its not hard and and very helpful.
I think the oddest bit of this is the author “doxing” their trolling on Reddit with their actual identity on the blog.
What's your argument here, then? Or was this just a random fact you wanted to post?
Bad example because the only reason the communist dictatorship in North Korea still exists is that they are propped up by China, and the only reason Chinese dictatorship exists is because they are propped up by the West.
Sure, but I bet there are a lot of things like that. It's probably even a "reverse power law", and something that neoliberal capitalism is actually really good at dealing with. I bet right now this minute there is a lot of money talking about what it would take to spin up an alternative, not because they're nice, but because there are big profits available when demand is high, and supply low.
With respect, why is the /privacy/ aspect so important in a planner app that you've chosen to market it as an important feature? I actually want my planner to be public! Makes the appointments/meeting plans process simpler.

Also, while I'm not a big fan of integrating every other thing into gmail, I actually rather like that recent updates in gmail which have calendar/planner on the side, I think they've got the right idea. Something like a planner/calendar I _want_ to be ubiquitous and visible all the time in whatever UI I'm in.
The actual home page says: "ThorCon is a molten salt fission reactor. Unlike all current nuclear reactors, the fuel is in liquid form. It can be moved around with a pump and passively drained. This 500 MW fission power plant is encapsulated in a hull, built in a shipyard, towed to a shallow water site, ballasted to the seabed." and "ThorCon is a straightforward scale-up of the successful United States Oak Ridge National Laboratory Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE)."
> “Deplatforming” is anti-freedom. It violates the free speech of the speaker, it violates freedom of assembly for the listeners, and it violates freedom of association for all of the parties involved.

Is it though? And to what extent? We don't have unlimited freedom of speech in the US constitution because we agreed that there are limits and realize that words do mean things (like a threat).

But on a platform let's be nuanced. Some people believe that saying a racist word and having their comment removed is deplatforming. Some think they can promote violence. Others think getting down voted is deplatforming. There's a lot of people getting grouped together here and many making claims of being deplatformed are not acting in good faith.

So unfortunately we need to define what deplatforming means otherwise we'll just be arguing and making assumptions because many people will be working off of many different definitions pretending that we all agree on the definition (or that we hold the true definition and others are dumb).
Would you want to take your kid into a kindergarten where the teacher would be showing (or reading) them porn?

If "no", how do you square that with "teachers can say anything they like"? I mean literally no employment is like that (try publicly saying your employer is evil, see how long you last...). Private speech != employee speech.
You’re Late
My brother works at the Pentagon on the Navy budget, and found the "tale of two ships" to be spot on.
I'm not sure I would qualify any post-Soviet Eastern European country (Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, ...) as a boradly successful. Typically, they are highly corrupted, wealth amass in a tiny sliver of the population, they are hemorrageing their youth and their brains, their political spectrums can be resumed as ‶corrupted right-wing guy sucking on the EU tits″ and ‶corrupted even more far-right guy sucking on Russia/China tits″, rights of women are openly contested and dimnished, and they are on the slippery slope to the actually worrying part of the far-right spectrum.
> Since 1893, the legal definition of the foot in the United States has been based on the meter.

Imagine all the pain we’d have saved just switching to metric back then, back in eighteen ninety-three. Sticking to imperial measures is an anachronistic cultural third rail, not a rational decision.
They explained why there is only one 2.5 port, it's the limitation of the current chipset. Most of the current Wi-Fi 6E routers have the same limitation.

> This is a limitation of the Qualcomm chipset eero are using, which can’t provide 2.5 Gbps connectivity on both ports.

> — this is the case on the Orbi RBK960, Asus ZenWifi ET8, Linksys Atlas Max 6E, Deco X90, and many others.
One major caveat here: the Chinchilla scaling law indicates that most of this compute was wasted. You could've gotten PaLM's performance at a fraction of the cost - Chinchilla approaches PaLM performance but at a fifth the cost.
The Northeast Corridor where the Acela runs is all electrified. In fact the electrification of the tracks north of New Haven (so an engine switch was no longer needed) was one of the big benefits Acela brought to even the non-Acela trains.

I don't know what it looks like north (basically Portland) and south of the northeast corridor--or the non-coastal routes in New England.

A lot of marriages are this way and do fine. A diverse but comprehensive worldview is helpful when operating as a singular unit. You can be smart and ignorant at the same time in some ways, and that's okay.
> The problem with "electric heaters" is that electricity for ANYTHING can NEVER be better that 50% efficient and often is worse.

Electric heaters are 100% efficient in transforming joules to heat. The powerplant/transmission lines are the issue in this case.
You either don't know what "pay to play" means, or you're being disingenuous.
And I do think they are perfect analogies. I see zero of your concerns as any more valid than the ones in my post. The same "social contagion" arguments were used against gay people, women, and black people, to the same harmful effects.

I'm asking you to be kind. I hope you understand why people perceive you as unkind.
I think that's what's behind a big movement to "de-Googlefy". Losing all your email, Drive files, etc., merely because you logging in from a share IP, which someone broke the TOS from, would be a pretty crappy deal. It makes you begin to really value data custody.
It's not meant to thwart adversarial cases or situations where programmers are trying to "trick" strict mode. It's a safety net for those who know the "rules" of react, but still might accidentally introduce side effects and want to catch it.
This is pretty stupid, IMO. Lowering indoor temperature by 8 degrees? What are we, cavemen? That's not even good as a joke. Maslow's pyramid is supposed to be a model too simple to be useful, but I guess some people do need it reminded to them from time to time. We'll most definitely heat our houses to virtually the same temperature, that's not even a topic.

And discussing about electric heaters as if they're even a supply problem. They cost under $10 and they universally have 100% efficiency. As for building them... in my youth I've seen plenty made with just a brick and wire. We won't run out of them.

Issues are electricity cost and peak consumption. I predict plenty of wiring issues - not many people know their house's wiring is rated for a certain amperage, and having an extra 2-4 kw of electrical heating can easily put them over. Quite a few fuses will trip next winter.

But the real issue will be cost.
I prefer the Yegge classic, "Singleton Considered Stupid." https://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/singleton-consider...

Though I do admit to occasionally violating my own precepts and using them.
Safari also has a built-in mechanism to achieve this. In Preferences > Advanced > Style sheet, you can pick a custom style sheet file for style overrides.
I am not generally pro cancel culture, but a lot of the opposition to it is certainly whiney and low on evidence.

For example, there's this notion that the advancement of knowledge is somehow being suppressed and that naked, barely-regulated free speech has been essential to Western dominance, and that, accordingly, to backpedal on the principle would have some material affect on society.

However, no nexus between the kinds of speech and people being "cancelled" and any sort of practical benefit of the speech is ever identified. Nor do they consider the fact that the proper result of intellectual discourse is that some ideas get discarded, and that to constantly have to rehash debates, reestablish the credibility of basic authorities, etc, drags down intellectual discourse and in fact moves us backwards.
My daughter goes to elementary school in Bay Area. She was cursed and told "Go home and tell you mother m**f** like this *" with obscene gestures. Based on our experience such rude, obscene and unhealthy behavior isn't uncommon. In addition, adults and kids are exposed to all shitty and violent content through streaming platforms which is also impacting their behavior.

What do you also think about safety with so much of gun violence and abuse going on in USA?

In our experience, private schools in India are much better and probably safer for kids. They offer all-round learning experience (books/studies, sports, cultural experience etc.) and hot fresh meals as well. It is expensive and hence it is not commonly available to all kids, but I don't think such school experience is available in USA as well (especially cold and frozen food given in schools).

While I agree about some of your points related to safety, pollution, and overall civic sense, I don't think it living in US is somehow better. May be you are living in USA with extreme privilege and/or with narrow vision and mindset. :)
Last I checked the FDIC had about $50B in assets to back $2T in bank deposits. In other words, they could hardly scratch the surface of a systematic problem.
> It should be possible for you, the receiver of the email, to check if the email originated at company X.

You could check the DKIM signature of the email.
I'm not disputing anything said, but just a heads up since I also heard about the Fulan Gong organ harvesting thing years before I heard any thing else about what Fulan Gong even is: read up on it. It has its own weird nest of conspiracy around it.

Not authoritative, but I thought this was interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JaPzJKycxc
People in the US have far more ability to change the US than they do countries on the other side of the globe. Which is why the US's crimes have to be minimized - so people can freely ignore them and simply bray for military action against other countries.
So, was the true cause of the problem ever published?
Because its the world they live in, and its real to them. Why the fuck would they go out of their way to avoid what is probably a mundane fact for them. Why did "you" have to specify that your "non-PoC" friend got busted. Just because someone calls out a specific attribute of a story doesn't automatically make it an agenda.
This still needs some dev (lacks E2EE and Notifications) but looks good otherwise.

Its written in Go and it looks like the author generates their own gtk4 to go bindings.

My semi-barn cat would present me with mouse entrails; arranged like an anatomical model. Once he even presented them on a bed of grass like a fancy chef! He had to bring the blades of grass up a cat ramp and through a cat door. I think he'd predict when I would visit so as to have a display ready for me. Once I came early and a lot more mouse was present, but I came back in a bit and it was just entrails.

Although he has been spending a lot of time in the house this winter, and it's been months since I've gotten a present.
Pretty weird "joke" or "a slightly funny hypothetical". It's a plausible but false explanation for an event people were trying to understand, posted to a programming forum. It feels more like disinformation to me. I think it was a bit unethical to not mark it as fictional.

No anesthesia by the Japanese, or by the current-day Chinese?
i love the idea.
unfortunately probably due to my slow connection i get an extremely low resolution on the video making it very difficult to recognize any details because everything looks blurry. i'd rather have less or slower video but at a higher resolution. 360p at least. 480p would be better.

also, please check the browser language. due to my location i get city names in a language i can't read.
>I doubt people would take days to notice that their steady supply of power, petroleums, natural gas, medication, fresh food, etc. disappeared

Power wouldn't be cut. The grid would probably be over powered. Most power generation is not near the cities. NIMBY problems with building nukes in backyards.

Petroleum products? They are pretty remote, they tend to run higher reserves.

Medication and food? Kind of the same thing.

You know one thing I didn't consider. Tourism. Maybe someone from toronto would be there and notice and bring it to people's attention.

Point I am making isn't to argue over how fast people might notice the destruction of civilization. More, even in nuclear apocalypse, life goes on.

Something interesting as well. Right before an apocalypse your internet algorithm will start providing you with how to build survival shelters in the forest. Not camping, not doomsday prepping. Just survivalist type stuff.
I would consider creating a dependency as a singleton in your composition root different from a "true" singleton, because the latter involves baking the assumption that it will be a singleton into all callers rather than injecting it.
Anysoftkeyboard (https://anysoftkeyboard.github.io/) has swype as, though in beta. I currently switch back and forth between ASK and florisboard.
Without the exploitation of cheap labor and China work practices, your iPhone would cost 10,000 dollars.

Apple would be more like a Cartier or Tiffany...A few small exclusive shops around Monaco and the Cote de Azur.
Right. The argument being had here is about whether or not telling children that gay people exist is harmful, not over whether or not it's ever okay to tell people what they can and cannot speak about. All I'm saying is that right-wingers in these comments will tend to agree with Graham in the abstract, and because he targets the left in the post, but in practice their politics are not aligned with what he says in this essay.

To your point, though, the law is not about porn; that's already illegal. The law is about literally telling children that gay people exist; unless you believe gay couples are somehow inherently sexual in a way that straight couples aren't, you're off the mark here.
But don’t you think for a second that may incentivise raising the number of executions to meet the high demand of organs? And having that justice in China is something that is not at all transparent it may as well turn any dissident into supply for organ banks. I find this extremely cynical and very hard to accept no matter how you look at it.
The First Amendment doesn't grant a right to free speech as such; such a right is assumed to be pre-existing and inalienable (whether one roots such rights in religious belief or secular humanism). Rather: the First Amendment restricts what laws Congress may pass, which might infringe on that right.
I've given up on taking notes, I'm bad at it and I've never looked at my notes a single time. I can absorb the information more readily if I just read with 100% of my attention on reading. Some people seem to benefit from the way notes help them solidify their own mental models, but for me the context switching makes it very difficult. My handwriting is also absolutely atrocious.

Reading long form content on the computer is not feasible for me either. I've converged to printing everything (if it's a paper), and going outside somewhere with my phone.

Out of sight out of mind applies universally (sometimes good, sometimes bad) - I have the most success when I engineer my environments to put the things I need to focus on in front of me.

If you care about keeping your notes electronically, maybe have a look at rocket book or something.
Post 3, it's quite the inverse in my experience.
I know this is going to sound insane, but what is the obsession with truth? Things can be true and harmful.

People should be judged for saying harmful things.
Yeah I think what might be going on is a combination of Next.js switching to strict mode at some point, and React 17 hiding the double logs.

I’d never seen the behaviour before (but had never explicitly used strict mode - to be honest I didn’t know it existed!) and switching between React 17 and 18 was enough to make it happen, so I assumed that was the responsible change, but actually it’s a bit more subtle.

Thought it might be useful to share for people who are using Next.js anyway, as for me it just started happening when I created a new project with no explanation which led to me thinking I was losing it for a while, lol.
