> The big picture: Uyghurs and other marginalized groups with ties to China can face intimidation, state surveillance and threats to their family members in China when they speak out on U.S. campuses about oppression by the Chinese government.

> Multiple people present at the event described the Chinese students' reaction to NurMuhammad as "jeering," "taunts," "snickering" and "booing.".

As much as I love long discussions when it comes to technical topics I think this issue is pretty simple to solve, send them back to China.
Is it unjust / unfair? imho, no it's not.

Because they won't be prosecuted or hurt anyways in China, they can complete their education and live a happy ever after under the CCP they so much -obviously- support.

And make an announcement, that any show of support for authoritarian regimes / bullying or any such behaviour would get them expelled.

They can just leave in silence if they fear the CCP might actually hurt their close ones, there is no need to taunt or show any symbol of aggression.

On the other hand, the Uygurs has been the actually oppressed ones, a Chinese person isn't going to die in China especially after the show they made in the University according to the article, they can go and support the CCP in China and they will probably even have more privileges than the average Chinese person.

If they're going to support the CCP anyways, why not support it in China?

at the very least, anyone acting with malice and a clear unexcused support for the CCP, such as taking down posters alone when nobody is watching etc, should be expelled and sent back to China.
Even in the case of them being actually victims almost forced to preach the CCP, what good is it going to do if they're taunting others who are publicly speaking out in other parts of the world? If they do that in China they will actually be celebrated by the govt.

so I see no point of letting them stay personally, unless they do speak out against the regime or stay silent and mind themselves.
The killer for SASS nowadays is CI. You're either using the (ancient, slow) Ruby implementation of SASS, or node-sass which requires a native binary build and causes headaches across environments. Furthermore, with Post-CSS, the feature set of SASS has been completely subsumed by the latest CSS standard. There's really no good reason to use it anymore.
My personal preference for my hobby sites is to do a backup locally and compress with p7zip using the fastest compression and breaking it up into smaller chunks. I then use the lftp client via cron to back up the .7z.0xx files to a chroot sftp server elsewhere. The SFTP server also runs rsnapshot to keep copies where the SFTP user can not tamper with them.

Then another db in another region pulls down that backup, decompresses it and loads it and a script does a query for a known set of data. If the test fails I get an email. This is a very simplistic test. Proper DBA's would implement far more advanced validations than what I am doing.

It isn't as fast as real time replication but has the advantage of testing my backups and giving me a few ways to get out of a tangle. This method gets slower with much bigger databases. One could still do real time replication in addition to this.
Almost every public company has a CFO and/or COO that has an MBA. It's not an 'in spite of;' financials get complicated as do business operations and those two things are what an MBA is for, other than networking.

Also, I know a lot of entrepreneurial people that do not do very well when the company gets beyond a certain size. They can't operate within a system of greater restriction and don't want to follow best practices for employees. Managers are often not good builders and builders aren't always good managers.

> I would figure investing it is better than buying crappy food or holding dollars that are losing purchasing power.

Isn’t that more of a class distinction than a decision for most people? The rich will invest either way, and the poor won’t. Both will buy food. The economy still runs on consumption (which is kinda required for investment to even work, right?)

> it is an easy no brained nowadays

I’m a little skittish on making new investments at the moment, and it seems to be going around? You’re saying that’s obviously foolish and people should be investing right now despite potential indicators of a recession?
Portable = fits in multiple 20 feet containers. I couldn’t find how many. https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/278727... calls it transportable, not portable. That seems a better word to describe that to me.

It should deliver 1 to 5 MW for at least three years of operation at full power.
For the longest time, Amazon's cash salary cap was well-known to be in the middle $150K range. I don't see any evidence that hampered their ability to attract job seekers.
Some complain about that, but personally, I see the "exclusive" rights as primarily being about things that have no point if you are not Sámi anyway.

I remember some years ago, there was a huge debate in the forums of Vårt Land, Norway's largest Christian newspaper, between one advocate for these exclusive rights, and one furious opponent. The funny thing was that the proponent was a super-samophile southerner who had learned the language and moved north, while the opponent was a (genetically, at least) full Sámi who just happened to be an old school Marxist who hated rights based on nationality.
I can see some heartache if they advertise the range as between $X to $Y and then they make an offer that is much closer to $X.
That's a cherry-picked example by a person promoting himself and his own system. Not really a useful data point, more an example of an aspirational goal.
That's not a rude comment. Regardless of how much money he made or didn't make from the endeavor, Nakamoto still made many incorrect statements.
There are a ton of people here who probably make 6 figures complaining about pay ranges in job postings.

I am not sure I fully see how this is a problem, any minimum wage job says pay range (or a specific rate), any job for dish washers or line cooks say $18 a hour or what not, a tech job with a six figure salary should at least say a range, since it varies based on skill and department.

I haven't read a single response that I agree with as to why this is a negative? Can someone provide some insight in to why people seem to be against this? Also the silly comments about well $5 to $5 million is a range are just silly. They are going to provide a range like $42k to $55k. Because it is based on skill to some degree (7 years in the industry should pay more you more than 2).

I know someone with vintage Doc Martens from the 90s that they still wear. I personally find Doc Martens uncomfortable, but I am happy to introduce you to them so you can confirm that old boots do get worn.

I have a pair of dress shoes that are approaching ten years old. I spent more than I ever had on any pair of shoes but they continue to be comfortable and are easy enough to resole, clean, etc.

There are enough items in the world of apparel (I hesitate to use the word "fashion") that are timeless, at least on the scale of a human lifetime. My belt is twenty years old. My watch (due for service) is over twenty years old.

A good shirt will last longer than a cheap shirt. If you buy carefully (i.e. not just what's in "fashion" that season), it can work for a long time.

I had a US-made dress shirt that lasted me close to 15 years and I think I spent less than $40 on it. It's a shame those mills are long gone because few shirts last that long and I'm not willing to find out if spending $400 on a shirt gets me the same quality.

At some point clothes become a Veblen good. The idea is to spend on quality, not on marketing or details that don't add to the durability of the item.
That assumes your utility of money is logarithmic in amount, which is not necessarily true.
I had planned a vacation 2 years ago before the pandemic. Obviously had to shelve that. Now the price for the same ticket has increased by 2.5x

I still paid for it and justified it in my head that this is the first time I’ll be traveling in two and a half years.

But if I had to do it again, I can’t justify it at all. There has to be some level of “spite spending” from two years of pandemic as well - people who know that they’re overpaying but they do it anyway because they’ve been locked up for two years.

Thanks for sharing. This is largely why I think we are fooling ourselves with the idea that a few rate rises will be sufficient and this will be short lived with a soft landing. I think we are going to need high single digit rates to contain inflation and it will lead to a recession (I think we are already in one). Generally higher levels of indebtedness (public and private) will lead to widespread pain. I am normally an optimistic person but don’t find any reason to be optimistic about getting out of this economic hole we’ve spent decades digging.

What's this trend about prefixing every word by "toxic" nowadays, to characterize how too much of a thing can be bad? In the past we used to have common sense... So alcoholics now should be described as "toxic drinkers" too?
Yeah that's fair. Like I alluded to in a sibling comment thread, though, I think doing the same thing for food is pretty dangerous given our still pretty limited understanding of what foods are actually bad for you. Eggs are still oscillating between healthy and unhealthy every few years (although I think we're settling on healthy? Who knows!). Cigarettes aren't needed to sustain life so there's not as much risk to meddling like that.

The only thing I can really get behind is stricter controls on individual ingredients that are very clearly unhealthy and obviously don't need to be part of your diet (BPAs, trans fats, etc). Once you start messing with society's macros though it's fraught territory and very easy to do harm IMO.
It serves a niche but I hope it doesn’t become the standard for everyone.

Stadia was great for me because I wanted to play RDR2 but didn’t want to buy a TV or console.
> This is still unfair to stakers that legitimately have infra disruptions.

I'd hardly characterize that as "unfair"; it's no more unfair than any other perceived correlation between uptime and trustworthiness.

> The problem space fundamentally requires human intervention at a high level.

It fundamentally requires the opposite. The more human intervention possible, the more room for exploitation and corruption and unfairness. This is evident both within the crypto space (Safemoon comes to mind) and outside of it (the legacy financial system comes to mind).
I don't think any of these ranges are binding. They simply give the candidate more information to negotiate with. So a company could end up offering more or less than the range, but they need to be ready for a conversation as to why.

Gold was the best investment of the 1970s.

Harry Browne, who ran for president as a libertarian suggested using gold as a hedge

The "all weather" fund from Bridgewater is similar in thinking but substitutes inflation-protected bonds for gold.
"The amazing things is many were predicting this back in 2008."

Inflation was at historic lows from 2008 to 2020.

I guess an economist can be wrong for over a decade and still be "pretty accurate so far" in your mind.
Played way too much Pickaxe Pete as a kid. I can still hear that sound when he goes through the doors to another level. K.C. Munchkin was pretty cool, too- even had a level editor!
That's true, but so could literally anything, if the basis is something like what was written in the original post. Obviously it's up to the investors if they want to fund this stuff, but it sure does look like pretty bad science.
What type of bet you make with the market matters a lot. If your play is very convex and it gives you the opportunity to risk $1 to make $10 then that's a worthwhile bet to make provided that losing $1 10 times doesn't wipe you out. Since market crashes tend to be violent and volatile there are instruments out there that benefit from higher volatility and can give you 100x returns.

So when you combine a 5/12 accuracy indicator with a play that is low probability, little fee to entry, but huge reward you have a decent strategy.
Job postings with a range use the term range in a much looser than the mathematical sense. In mathematics, if I say the range is 100-200, I'm telling you that 95 and 205 are not possible. In job postings, if I say the range is 100-200, 95 and 205 are still possible. 100-200 was just a (hopefully) good-faith estimate of the range.
The story of BER's troubled birth confirms your view.

German satire website Der Postillion (roughly equivalent to The Onion) ran a headline once that Berlin would get a new airport by moving the entire city to some place with an existing airport.
>Crypto, outside of an exchange, means I can send money to anyone I want, and no other entity can prevent that.

No, this is extremely false. The miners/stakers can prevent that by blacklisting your wallet address. You might be thinking of privacy coins which are a very small subset of cryptocurrencies that are hard to use because of the security requirements, and are extremely impractical for most people who aren't criminals, and they only really work correctly if everyone using them has perfect opsec which currently they don't. And also a powerful entity who really wants to stop you can still prevent your transactions just by attacking and disabling the network itself through traditional or non-technical means, such as infiltrating the foundation that manages the project.
> I don't know how else I could improve this, but I'm always open to suggestions.

I issued a minor correction on the GameCube article and you were extremely quick to correct it.

Everyone likes to blame the Russia-Ukraine conflict but inflation was spiking prior to supply issues. That war is a convenient scapegoat for politicians and bureaucrats who don’t want to take credit for profligate spending and loose policy for decades.
This is a good analysis. I think we're going to see an even more extreme selection of the more highly skilled individuals. The bigger the pool, the further you can go on the right tail of the pareto distribution. There's going to be a big influx of people moving to tax havens.

Especially considering the fact that highly sought out engs end up spending 90% of their time in meetings with teams across the globe, they're much more likely to continue being remote.

I don't think firing 25% would be enough. Ultimately the entire purpose of the company is to provide a solution that allows companies to pseudo-comply with the GDPR without actually complying.

Actual compliance would require removing all the trackers & other bullshit and then you no longer need a "consent management platform", therefore this company ceases to exist and 100% of the employees are let go.

If you ask people whether they want to be tracked (in a GDPR-compliant way, which involves listing all the data points collected, how is it stored & used and with whom it is shared) 99% of people will outright say no, therefore the best course of action is to remove the trackers and no need for this company to exist at all.

The Big Mac is $9.99 for the person unwilling to download the McDonald's app and use the digital coupons. More broadly, we are very quickly entering a world of personalized pricing, and the best prices go to those willing to jump through whichever hoops sellers create. It's a K-shaped recovery, but it's also K-shaped pricing. So you're seeing more "MSRP" type pricing in places we're not used to seeing it -- kind of like how list prices for college go up and up every year, yet the net price is relatively flat [0].

You're right, haven't been following closely. But let's say Musk just walks and it is in fact a contract violation. What is Twitter's recourse? Sure it can sue... and what? Spend years in court, more dirty laundry aired, stock price continues dropping, employees leaving, unlikely new buyers emerge. Twitter board could face lawsuits from public stockholders if they feel material information was hidden from them or misrepresented. What exactly were the damages Musk caused? Pumped up its stock price? It's not exactly like a labor or employment contract. How sure are you that Twitter would actually win in court? All I'm saying is that renegotiating the deal with Musk at a lower price is still likely Twitter's best option, regardless of the specific contract terms.

Internally, salary ranges at MS are quite narrow by job and level. Particularly since they're more compressed toward zero than at the FAANGs and Unicorns. Why would they invite trouble by not simply publishing those?
This makes a lot of sense to me. He's basically beaten the game. A lot of us, when we beat the game, go back and find all the secret bobbleheads in Fallout, maybe do an expansion that lets us build a cabin in the Skyrim game world somewhere, or play some "epilogue" story. Other people hit all the natural disaster buttons in SimCity and watch the world burn, or just go try to spend all their gold killing as many innocent gamers on the server as they can.

I think this Griefer theory explains a lot of the antisocial behavior we see out of executives and politicians who have beaten the game of life. We structure the game to make "Sociopath" the character class most likely to reach level 99 and win the game, and then we wonder why there are so many sociopaths using game-winning wealth to grief everyone else.
