Criticising a previous leader is racist? Or is criticising pro-militarisation racist? Please explain

Edit: there was a comment below stating that the GP was slandering Abe (which is false: slander means false and malicious statements. It cannot be labelled false if there is a pretense for the claim, and if you think that comment is malicious... That's a touch delicate, no?).

The comment also said GP was picking a 'classy time' to make such a remark, which is also perhaps not accurate. GP seems to be responding to OP, who stated known falsehoods. I'm that sense, it is not a 'poor time to say that' because it is a correction.
>Ex-Albertan here: this is false, there has never been a plan to "cede to the US".

In 1990 the premier of Nova Scotia said that Atlantic Canada would have "no choice" but to join the US (<http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1990-05-03/news/900205075...>) if Quebec were to leave. Saskatchewan in both 1980 and 1995 evaluated the possibility of also seceding, and/or seeking US statehood (<http://web.archive.org/web/20140829140952/http://www.thestar...>), on the event of a "Yes" vote in the Quebec referendum those years, in part because "Atlantic Canada would be 'an island'". It would only have been prudent for some or all of the other provincial governments to have made similar plans in secret.

>It would be extremely politically distasteful in Alberta to cede to the USA, such a plan would be political suicide.

Are you so sure about that, after the last few years of Alberta/Trudeau 2.0 conflicts fueling the longstanding sense of Western alienation? Remember, Re Secession lays out a legal path for secession.

I can't think of a single grievance fork of an already-unpopular esoteric language that went on to become a serious industry-shifting project.

What's the elevator pitch, is it just social grievance with the Nim developers? Because that's all I get from the readme.
Good man? Looking at the history it doesn't seem to be that much green. Right winged, over nationalist, corruption seems to be condoned here. He is even unpopular in japan.
You don't have to be a native to have a well founded opinion of California, but his opinion wasn't very well founded.
There are both models at Amazon. Individual teams have their own on-call; if for example an RDS instance is continually failing to boot, someone on-call (edit: from the RDS team) will get paged to look at it.

I believe order drops are looked at by dedicated reliability team, because it's such a significant problem. But they don't watch graphs because... why would they? They set up the machines to page them when metrics aren't within an expected range. Which is what happened.

I’m fairly sure it only happens on XWayland windows, and that in general it is not possible to fractional scale something without the aid of the client. OSX also has a similar restriction where only integer scaling is allowed (but it is less of a problem there due to higher resolutions in general).

There is fractional scaling though under Wayland which works fine for Wayland applications.
> he’s the exPM, so what would shooting him gain?

Abe still has important impacts on Japan politics. He leads the largest faction in the Liberal Democratic Party[1], therefore he could influence many voters during LDP President election. And LDP is the ruling party, so LDP President will be the PM.

Another example is he stated “If Taiwan has a problem, then Japan also has a problem.” last year as an ex-PM[2], although it is not official policy, this statements is still being discussed among Japanese government/people till now, it shows he still has huge influence
in Japan.

No. And you can’t credit the federal government to DC, as the federal tax base and governance is almost wholly distinct from the municipal one. Say Rockwell builds an office in Reston because of good Virginia schools and the availability of Virginia Tech and UVA grads. Virginia builds the roads that get workers there, and the schools for the workers kids. If the office works on a federal contract, the Pentagon awards it (which is in Virginia) and the taxes that pay for it come from Michigan and California. DC doesn’t have any involvement, other than being the metaphysical locus of the federal government.
Last I heard they had some sort of socialized healthcare.
Reentry Vehicle Test for America's New ICBM Failed Just After Launch
I would expect pre-rapid-ubiquity covid tests had a lot to do with this. Speaking personally, the covid testing sites I went to all loved to charge tests as doctor's visits.
The satellites are a lot lower than you'd think - something like 200-400km (compared with 35000km for conventional communication satellites).

(Although having run the calculations, that implies that conventional satellites should only be adding 200ms in the best case, which shouldn't be so bad?)
Thank you for this, I was beginning to think I'm the crazy one.

Ok, so matrix is useless then, is that it?
I'm not sure if it should be scarier - the deadliest terrorist gas attack in Japan killed less people than the regularly scheduled weekly mass shooting in US usually does.
Highlights from the Comments on the 2020 Homicide Spike
FLA/GA are not major ports. They also do not have the farm land. Prosperity is not entirely location dependent, but it is one of the largest factors. CA has the climate (at least during that period) and natural resources very few places in the world do.
5G phones already use a flat panel phased array, just with fewer elements (and less gain, but that can be compensated by using a lot more elements on the satellite side and by operating at much lower bandwidth). And yes, I understand the difference between lower frequencies and higher. 5G can also use lower frequencies but the main bandwidth advantage (over LTE/etc) is in the higher frequency, the mm-wave, roughly 25-50GHz, a frequency band that overlaps that used by the Starlink phased arrays.
>> Japan back into a far-right, ultra-racist country.

I was under the impression from friends who taught English there and other family members who worked there in various positions, this is how the country has always been - exclusionary to outsiders, racist and very intolerant to outsiders.

Was there a time (I lost track of the country after the first dot com bust in 2001) that the country wasn't like that? I'm genuinely curious.
If absurdities like 9,000lb EV hummers is what it's gonna take to substantially accelerate EV adoption across the national fleet, I don't personally care.

We'll have a far easier time generating clean electricity from stationary grid-tied power plants than getting the fleet to stop spewing co2 sans electrification. Worst case we build a bunch of modern nuclear plants, just get the damn combustion engines physically decoupled from all the automobiles already.
Each time I wonder if moving out of the UK was the right choice it gets justified whenever I look over in its general direction.
> So stupid question but I guess it isn't worth it to somehow push them up with small corrections/booster-like things? At least to save it for a few more years?

Yes, they send them up with a certain amount of propellant to do that, once that runs out they fall down.

> What happens when they fall? Do they more or less burn up?

Yes. They're small enough to burn up completely, and low enough to do that quickly rather than creating a space junk problem.
The California facility would still be bound by the same standards (if anything, California is more not less stringent on things like that) and the risks are still the same.
Would you like to expand your criticism?

I see a lot of vague hate for him here and biased links being posted.

What exactly is your issue with him? Without using buzzwords like "historic revisionist" or "far-right, ultra-racist".

- edit -

Mainly people are saying he's racist because he visited Yasukini Shrine that honors the dead from Japan's wars when he resigned to "inform the spirits".

It's not like visiting a "Nazi elite general" grave like another user made an analogy of.

This is all ridiculous and you people are despicable and disgusting for making slanderous claims especially at a time like this. Terrible.
No they don't "kill many people", you do hear about the eventual "knife attack" but the death victims are normally 0-5. In this particular case, which is already an exception because of a handmade gun (apparently) instead of a knife, there's 1 single victim and it's still unknown whether Abe will survive.

Edit: as someone living in Japan. Maybe not living here you do only hear about the once in 5-10 years attacks where there are more victims, but living in here you hear about an attack once-twice a year and they are pretty mild as I explained.
What’s bad about Skia?
It’s easy to ignore what’s impossible to morally justify.
I haven't read an in depth dive of Japan's internal politics but he helped my country with some major investments, which has in turn helped some of my close relatives get good well paying jobs. Also, generally I have a lot of respect for Japanese people in general due to having met and worked with some people from there.
Indeed, it looks to be a crude double barrel shotgun loaded with black powder. Such firearms are easier to make, as black powder has lower peak pressures which don't necessitate a very sturdy construction, especially in large bores. Also, black powder can be DIY manufactured from commonly available supplies like charcoal, sulfur, and potassium nitrate, unlike modern smokeless powders, which have a much more complex manufacturing process.

Feels steep for a CBT app where I gotta do all the work!

I sleep quite poorly, but I got to the checkout screen and.. nah. No doubt I'd drop that cash in an instant to sleep better. But I have little trust in filling out prompts and listening to rain sounds.

What has worked quite well for me is yoga nidra (guided meditation). Search YouTube for a voice you like (some have bg music I hate, or thick accents which put me off). I can't find the one I use, but I downloaded it to an mp3 on my phone (no auto play!) and it works almost every night. 20 min meditation and I've almost never heard the last 5 mins.

Is this an intentional troll?
That makes a lot of sense.

The ops teams I've worked with watched graphs because (a) sometimes you see interesting changes or trends before they turn into actionable alerts and people can look into them/figure them out before shit's on fire, and (b) it makes it look more like you're doing something when everything is smooth sailing and not actively on fire, solving the "wait why are we paying for this if it doesn't take us long to respond to incidents anyway" naive-meddlesome-exec problem.
Jacobin's tone sucks, but by your logic you should be ashamed to link noahpinion, right? He's an academic but that doesn't automatically obviate him from being scorned for his style.

You are correct in saying that it requires support from the client. This is even the case for integer scaling, which is why it's unfortunate that there's a protocol and clients that are specifically designed around integer scaling without addressing fractional scaling.
sounds like a good reason to get pet insurance.
this is completely incorrect. viasat's technology is far more advanced than starlink. just because it's not LEO doesn't mean it's simple.

and starlink doesn't have dramatically increased capacity. they have a moderate increase over the busy areas geo incumbents have. most of their capacity is over water.

Neither. The EU just wants to shake as much money out of the tree as possible given that growing the trees domestically has not really worked out.
He has no more mandate to lead China than me, a random dude in China. He's not elected, he didnt perform incredible national deed (like some victorious war general sometimes), he's not pushed by the people etc.

It feels he's there because he fits a role set by a small minority and will perpetuate the party he likes rather than help the country or represent the people. He's possibly legitimate to lead the communist party however. Just not China.

For instance, a legitimate leader encourages competition, transfers power to successors, accepts counter power, is benevolent to critics, works on compromises rather than absolutes etc. And if he doesn't, the people get rid of him ASAP. You get legitimity once there's someone judging it. I can't perceive who's above Xi, and it's certainly not us, the taxpayers.
Not to minimise shootings, but at least you (or law enforcement) can shoot back, whereas with chemical attacks you cannot. The issue is really that you could scale chemical attacks up immensely and find some truly nasty chemical agents. I'm surprised it hasn't happened more - perhaps due to how dangerous working with extremely toxic chemicals actually is. Either way, wikipedia suggests 1k were injured in the attacks, so it's not just deaths. Imagine a terrorist who attacked with a chemical agent that just made you blind or gave you brain damage, but didn't kill you. Would that not be much scarier than being shot?

While it's true that the terms are relative, there are countries in Europe and South America that have literal communist, socialist or anarchist parties.

Hearing people describe Democrats as far left makes them sound like clowns spouting canned propaganda. It's not conducive to conversation as you know you aren't talking to a rational person who can argue in good faith.

I am sorry, but it will stop if guns are banned for ordinary people. How many school shootings happen in China or India? I am taking china and india because they are populous and don't have gun distributed freely like in US.

The fact is quantity matters in such cases. Having 1 incidence vs 10 or 20 is a huge difference.

I think he was talking about the magazine the article was written in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobin_(magazine)

"Jacobin is a magazine aimed at the American Left based in New York. It offers socialist perspectives on politics, economics and culture. As of 2021, the magazine reported a paid print circulation of 75,000 and over 3 million monthly visitors"

"Jacobin has been variously described as democratic socialist, socialist and Marxist."

I think it's fair to say they are Far-left by definition. Unfortunately that is often used as a slur but I think it is accurate in this case.
gotta keep that fear alive! Every person frightened into throwing away their lives is another victory!
>>while those of Hindu faith are nearly guaranteed it.<<

I am neither a Hindu nor a Muslim and belong to a religious minority in India. We are less than 1% of the population. There are several minority religions like mine that peacefully co-exist in India. If Hindus were so bad as you want to made out to be, we would have been annihilated by now. I can confidently say this, Hindus are the one of the MOST peaceful communities in the world. However if you try to instigate them, do expect a resistance and backlash.

Do you know at the time of partition in 1947, there remained (rough estimate) 7% Muslims in India and 7% Hindus in Pakistan. The Hindu population in Pakistan has decimated to less than 1% while Muslims in India have increased to 20% of the Indian population. Where on earth do you find a community which is allegedly persecuted yet continue to flourish?

For God's sake, stop believing in half truths. I can continue to answer your so-called persecution of Muslims and you will continue with classic Whataboutery. Folks whose houses were demolished were not because of mere criticism but it was due to 1) They have created illegal houses and govt had sent notices to them several times over past several years. 2) They rioted and threw stones at Police.
Yes, because of the trigger provided by 2) , the administration went ahead and executed corrective steps for 1) which they would have done possibly after some more time.

Instead of blaming everyone out there and playing victim, take a step back, look within and ask yourself why is that Muslim community can't live in peace anywhere in the world? 9/11, 26/11, France, Europe, UK, Israel, India, Afghanistan; they aren't happy anywhere.
The Jacobin is a far left rag.
Maybe screenshots would be helpful!

Even so, downscaling (as opposed to upscaling which is what I think happens on Xwayland) while not "100%" should still not manifest as blurriness, though?
Slander? Wat? There is a pretense to support the claim, it is not slander if it is supported.

The timing relates to OPs harmful take. GP even addressed OP directly.
He is, like many other Japanese, hell bent on rewriting Japanese history with a positive spin, completely ignoring or at best downplaying their colonisation atrocities before and during WW2. Wasn't he the one who went to a shrine to a "WW2 hero" who also just happened to be a war criminal?

Historic revisionism is an apt description, not a "buzzword".
To be fair, as much as I dislike it, the commission may have a point. Basically AOM is using its size to make itself unavoidable and force free cross-licensing on what used to be non-members. This is mostly advantageous to the founders who know avoid paying fees to license the tech. From afar, it does indeed seem to hinder competition.
The US electric grid is well-connected, certainly regionally. You don't get all your electricity in your state. There's no sense in saying they mostly run on coal. And there's no way to refute your claims since you didn't mention what your location is, so I provided the US average, which is the only thing that makes sense as otherwise it's dishonest cherry-picking... which is precisely what you're doing. It's not "obfuscation" to use the national average!

Only 21% of US electricity comes from coal, and likely less than that in areas with the highest percentage of EVs. The future (which is what the Hummer EV will do its driving in) will also have far less than that. So yeah, calling them "coal powered" is dishonest to the point of being a lie.

It generally seems to the latter case with mostly disgruntled people with some areas where they were passionate. It doesn't seem to be "producing" anything, so it doesn't appear to be like NeoVim or similar. The Nim compiler/core seems to be progressing still and not stagnating.
Lisp and Scheme's histories are tightly coupled. I would say Clojure is Scheme-like in its preference for functional programming and immutable data. I think Lisp is as much an imperative and OOP language as it is functional.

in terms of bandwidth they own more than all those others. it doesn't matter how many satellites you have if the capacity of each is tiny.
That’s not how gun buy back programs work. Hint they don’t and never have. It’s the same as what happened to that town that tried to solve their rat problem by paying people to bring rat heads. Some enterprising townsfolk started breeding rats.
Please don't ban them from the internet. That's what my parents mostly did and I ended up going behind their backs on a device they didn't know was functional and I ended up doing some things I regret now. Talk to your kids. They need to understand where you're coming from and be informed about what's out there. There will always be workarounds for blocking, there's no workaround for mutual respect and consideration.
It's disgusting you were flagged by the hive mind, but I for one would like to find out more about why Japan is hiding crime.
Ask HN: Is job hopping as bad as they say?
I'm 33 and since I started working I've went through 6 companies - the shortest tenure was an year, the others in the 1.5-2.5 years range. I'm at a stable place right now for about a year, leading a small team at a BigCo with nice colleagues and learning. Despite the fact that there's nothing wrong with this current place, friends talked to me about opportunities paying 50% more in teams led by amazing people and I'm tempted. I'm not even sure I'll apply, I just wanted to give some personal context and ask HN if:
- job hopping hurts long term career growth at management level and above
- it's better to find a good spot and stay there as long as possible given the incoming stagflation/high rates /recession scenario
Thank you!
I never thought of it like that before. I absolutely agree!
> Your theory is that we can only call somebody a liar if 100% of their statements turn out to be false?

No, but thanks for twisting my words.
People spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on software that introduces chaos into their production environment. With this, anyone who can open a TCP connection to an IRC server can do that for you, for free. They think they're hacking you, but you're actually just getting accelerated training on managing production incidents!

(Yes, your chatbot should probably check some auth credentials before just going off and deleting production. But hey, an untested disaster recovery plan is no disaster recovery plan at all, right?)
Why? In both cases, what they say is meaningless.
> Sounds like it’s not your cup of tea, but I wonder what prompts you to leave this negative comment?

The hackneyed gerund-noun title is reason enough. Seriously, the writing is coming from someone who wants to be a writer as opposed to just being one: the contrived cadence, the awkward diction, the constant minutiae...

> Do you think the author will read it and change his style?

Hopefully.

> And, what do you think about the actual matter subject of the post rather than the style?

It's a terribly cliched type of travel essay: "This city is absurd, but there's beauty in places."
To back the consensus opinion that he's a revisionary nationalist, here's one analysis:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-53950704

Still, assassination is the wrong way to bring about change. As of now, he seems to still be alive; I hope he recovers, and I doubly hope that regardless, Japan is spared the chaos that sometimes follows assassinations.
