That is not what we are doing. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31491296

On the search filter bubble, that is very still much what we do. To be clear, unlike some other search engines, we don’t alter search results based on someone’s previous search history. In fact, since we don’t track our users we don’t have access to search histories at all. Those other search engines show you results based on a data profile about you and your online activity (including your search history), and so can be slanted towards what they think you will click on the most based on this profiling. This effect is commonly known as the search filter bubble, but using DuckDuckGo can help you escape it. This does not mean, however, our search results are generally “unfiltered” because, for every search you make online, a search engine’s job is to filter millions of possible results down to a ranked order of just a handful.

Caulk: Lookup Arguments in Sublinear Time
The Xinjiang matter is bound up with: (a) the understanding that China is a rising superpower that the West wishes to contain; (b) it has nothing to do with the religion itself (given that China and Islam have a long history of coexistence); (c) that the strain of Islam of concern to Chinese authorities is the same strain used by West to conjure up the Taliban (which then gave us ISIS); and (d) knowledge of the fact that even as way back as the 4th 'Rightly Guided' khalif (Ali ibn abu Taleb) Muslim authorities themselves tended to view extremist and radical views of Islam with concern. There is a strange belief in the West that Muslims have been historically permissive to extremists religious positions whereas the actual facts are entirely contrary.

Two other hot button 'types' that you refer to are:

1 - Explicit derogatory attacks on Islam.

2 - Resisting a colonization effort that has had brutally adverse and tragic consequences for both Muslim and Christian populations of the contested colonial grounds.

Interesting take. But your use of missiles can actually be extended back tens of thousands of years.

I think it has happened many times that the invention of some new missile weapon (or other defensive weapon) had people think that some kind of offensive form of combat became obsolete. Maybe the first time would be when thrown spears or stones made the big brute with a club obsolete.

While in fact, up until now, this has gone back-and-forth numerous times.

Disciplined infantry made chariots obsolete, until cataphracts and knights arrived.

Longbows defeated knights for a moment, until they switched to plate armor.

Pikes/crossbows defeated knights, until they dismounted and picked up a Pollaxe, or later, as cuirassiers used pistols to harass.

Muskets and rifles defended well, until Napoleon used artillery, cavalry and manouver to give the attacker an advantage again.

Automatic rifles and machine guns led to trench warfare, until the Brits invented tanks.

Anti-tank guns defended pretty well vs tanks, until Guderian invented Blitzkrieg.

Shaped charges threatened tanks, until reactive armor was invented.

Actually, the general pattern that may be surprising to many, is that the key attribute for a weapon/platform to act offensively, is usually high survivability tactically, which allows them to advance, strategically. By comparison, platforms that have high firepower, but low survivability are often great defensively, as they allow counterattacks, but less useful when advancing.

So my prediction, going forward, as that at some point (next month or in a 100 years, I don't know), the large platforms will be equipped with defenses that allow them to regain enough survivability to be used offensively.

> Not being on the US side does not immediately correlate with being on China’s side, or, more exactly, it shouldn’t mean that. What Russia said it wants, several times, is a multi-polar world, so (for example), a world with the US vs Russia vs China (again, just as an example).

Sure, but that means then that Russia also doesn't want to sell resources to the west, because wanting this "multi-polar world" means exactly that. Also, why in the hell would it be a multi-polar world where Russia is a prominent player? Because they have nuclear weapons? Not convincing. In a multi-polar world it would be something more akin to the US, China, Brasil, the EU, India, etc. - Russia would just be a minor player with not much economic or (now that we know) military clout.

> The US is doing its best to make this into a world of US vs China+Russia thing.

I don't see how you can argue this in good faith when you have Xi Jingping and Vladimir Putin meeting and talking about their "unlimited friendship". Maybe, just maybe, China and Russia made it a China + Russia thing because they thought that they could gang up and bully Europe and that the US and NATO were weak.

> That’s also the thing, blockading something by sea only makes sense if you blockade something of real value, so to speak. Right now that would work against China because they bring many valuable things by sea, a big part of that being mineral resources (iron from Australia, I guess copper from South America, oil from the Persian Gulf). If China can bring that stuff by land instead of by sea (so from Siberia/Russia instead of Australia and Chile) then a maritime blockade will have almost no discernible effect.

Transport via land is more expensive than by sea. China would have to build out this infrastructure at great cost, and you're assuming that they could obtain sufficient resources. Not sure that they can.

> That’s why when I see so many analyses (and I’m not targeting your comment, I’m thinking mostly about the Western media) that focus first and foremost on the economic thing in this type of scenarios I strongly believe that they fail to see the true nature of this confrontation.

I certainly agree and I think that's why so many (not myself) were surprised by Russia invading Ukraine. On the other hand, though, if China didn't care about economic interests so to speak, then they would have also launched an attack on Taiwan or otherwise did something when Russia attacked Ukraine. I think the CCP is more mercantile, even if they are nationalist, than Russia is. China has also had opportunities to do things like continue to trade with Russia, and there are many instances of Chinese suppliers abandoning Russia out of fear of being the recipient of US and EU sanctions. So I agree with you certainly with Russia, but I think it would then be a mistake to apply the same calculation to China.

Why are farm vehicles so big anyway? Is one very large vehicle more efficient than multiple smaller vehicles, or are human operators the main constraint, i.e. because of labor costs it's cheaper to hire one guy to drive a bigger tractor than 3 guys to drive 3 small tractors? Maybe this is a problem that will be solved in the next few decades by driverless tractors, or just tractors that are autonomous enough for one operator to "drive" several at the same time.

I could see other advantages to having multiple small tractors: redundancy (one breakdown doesn't stop the whole show); easier transport; easier scaling (can increase or reduce capacity in smaller increments; buying one tractor no longer requires a huge equipment loan)...

> El Salvador will revert to using whatever worthless currency they had before Bitcoin.

Um, the US dollar? (Not that I in any way shape or form support crypto just to be clear)
I think this is a faulty premise. The US is actually quite heavily taxed, at a level greater than most of the OECD and many European countries, Especially in nominal dollars collected, but also as a percent of GDP, or when adjusting for local costs (PPP).

In the US, when you add federal, state, and local revenue, about $8.3 trillion dollars are collected in taxes and fees. The GDP of the US is $20 trillion, so 40% of every dollar produced goes to the government.

This is about $25,000 of tax per person, or $32,000 if you only count adults.

My personal thought is that the main difference between the US and countries with generous public institutions is not the amount of tax revenue collected, but the percent of that revenue effectively spent on said institutions.

From what I can see at a glance its mostly loads upon loads of graphics code / graphics cards stuff. Its possible they have upstreamed entire drivers into their code base.

I spotted some stuff that hints at low level protocols as well (i2c f.e.), so probably its just a whole lot of work to support AMD graphics cards. Potentially they upstreamed a driver or something.

I tracked down a good condition 2009-2010 vintage A1242 aluminium ten-keyless Apple Keyboard[1] on ebay for £54 last year for exactly that feeling. Supposedly they came with iMacs for just a year or so before they were discontinued. My first-gen Magic Trackpad fits perfectly where the numpad would be. My only complaint is I can't position the trackpad below the spacebar like on a MacBook so have to move my hands from the home row, but that's because the keyboard and trackpad both have a slant to them.

"Disinformation" is a propaganda term. Unless you are Ministry of Truth, of course ;)

> or being traced back to Russian state sponsored agents.

You see, for Chinese posting about Tiananmen Square is being traced back to US programs intended to undermine the statehood of independent countries. For them, it is the same thing pushed by state sponsored agents as you claim about Russians.

There have been numerous Bitcoin theses over the years and they’re all broken.

Is it peer-to-peer digital cash like the original white paper claims? Clearly not, with slow settlement and high transaction costs.

Is it an uncorrelated hedge against stock market volatility? No, it trades like leveraged Nasdaq.

Is it a store of value based on [insert lurid fantasy about digital energy crystal magic on the blockchain]? No, see above.

Is it a backbone for other, faster payment systems? No, see the miserable state of the Lightning Network after nearly a decade.

Is it a system for remittances to the third world? No, see El Salvador’s experiment.

Is it a way out of dollar dependency for third world governments? No, see El Salvador again.

Is it a way for North Korea to get paid when extorting Western companies? In fact yes, this use case does seem to work.

That's a valid scenario where time zone identifiers don't work well, but what's the alternative? A fixed offset is guaranteed to be wrong on DST switch, and that happens a lot more often than time zones splintering. I guess GPS coordinates would be more accurate, but then you have privacy concerns.

Fun fact: time zones are named after cities for robustness:

Country names are not used in this scheme, primarily because they would not be robust, owing to frequent political and boundary changes. The names of large cities tend to be more permanent. Usually the most populous city in a region is chosen to represent the entire time zone, although another city may be selected if it is more widely known, and another location, including a location other than a city, may be used if it results in a less ambiguous name.

“There’s been great tricks that [Xbox] taught us,” Howard said. “My favorite one in Morrowind is, if you’re running low on memory, you can reboot the original Xbox and the user can’t tell.

Yes, and when the Fed reverses course after everything breaks from this tightening, BTC will rise again. Why are extreme boom and bust cycles of crypto surprising to anyone anymore?

It is the asset most correlated change in global liquidity. And if the author thinks the liquidity spigot is forever cut off with this much global debt, he's got another think coming. The Fed balance sheet will be going to 15, 20, $30 trillion eventually. No entity has a big enough balance sheet to buy the enormous debt and deficits the US produces, and the Eurodollar market can't function without continued liquidity injections.
