The US equivalent would be getting booted off of Twitter & denied friendly access via press.

Hu was apparently upset that the list of candidates was not what he had expected, since the session was to hold a simple yes/no to the entire list.

He wanted to check his list against Xi's list which is why he kept reaching for it. Apparently even his son was booted off along with various allies, like vice-premier of China. It seems it was indeed a surprise to Xi and company & a snap decision by Xi to remove Hu was made.

Lei's real talk on YT is an informed resource by a Chinese critic of CPC. NYTimes article today seems based on her (uncredited) work published earlier on YT:

> The natural world involves animals eating other animals.

A "natural world" argument will always be weak. The natural world also involves rape, infanticide, and a general lack of morality. A "feature" of humans is that we can reason about, assign morality to, and ultimately move beyond some things that occur in the natural world.
It appears to be resolved now.
In my case I just can't understand what the people onscreen are saying most of the time, even if I crank the volume up.

If I wear closed over ear headphones and watch something on my PC then it's fine, because I can hear quiet sounds much better that way.
It's become increasingly clear that they don't want you plugging much of anything into these ports that's not a charger, and even that... they'd probably rather force you to wireless.

Forcing the connection through wifi means they have much, much more control, since it will almost always proxy through a server Apple owns, or use a proprietary stack only compatible with their devices.

I understand the use-case. I can even appreciate it works well for some folks. But I just don't like the attitude.
You're right, not much status in just owning an iPhone. You need to own the latest iPhone, preferably the "pro" model to gain status. However, you can lose status by having cheap or old gear. When I was a kid if you wore off-brand sneakers other kids would make fun of you. Now I understand that kids feel some pressure to appear with the right colored chat bubbles in iMessage. The status game is pretty complex.

I once had a professor who would demand I come teach her class even though I was funded through a research assistantship and hated interacting with students unless they advanced my agenda, so I eventually quit my PhD.

She'd just call up my personal phone, say she had to leave town, and then would tell me to do her work, because she was advising me at the time.

I'd get annoyed she was just... flying off on short notice and demanding I teach her class uncompensated, so I'd just show up, explain the assigned reading quickly, ask if folks had questions, then move on to asking them if they know what crypto-anarchy is, pulling up a copy of Jim Bell's "assassination politics", and having a chat about where the best spots to get spicy food in town were.

Later when I was reading up on the Daisey's Destruction case I had a bit of an aha moment... oh wait... this person doesn't work for the FBI, CIA... or the DEA... they constantly are talking about the Grateful Dead and how they used to do (and I quote) "an aircraft carrier's worth of drugs" on the weekends back in North Carolina.

And then I'd go back to trying to do all my classwork, some of their work, and scrounge around town for a decent weed connection because alaprazolam was not helping me -- though I got the sense the prescribing physician respected the long string of antidepressants I tried prior to that

After that there was a liminal period where I worked for an NGO, hoping to finish and then work as a staffer, but I also left my NGO for similar reasons -- I was on a W3C privacy group and one of my coworkers would come up and block my exit (physically stand in the door) and mansplain that "fingerprinting isn't tracking" or other... it was a tone of voice kind of like he was trying to do mind control or something?

I don't want to give my exact age, but I'm from a generation of phone phreaks born at the fall of the USSR who notice that if we use a novel argument like pointing out that up until 1863, America had unbreakable encryption via the Vigenère cipher[0] folks screw up their faces and get mad they can't trade the same bullet points back and forth they've been trading since the 90s and might have to have a substantive discussion that would realign the power order or whatever.

Anyways, Signal made the right call. India has a lot of issues -- I don't see the whole Kashmir situation ever discussed with the same level of attention to detail I've seen writings on the genocide in Xinjiang or the aggressions in the South China sea. (Bullshit little fake islands and the like.)

And then of course there's that whole... Ukraine thing... but I guess that doesn't impact India?

Anyways, sorry to ramble, I'm taking a day to focus on self care -- this was a good call.

The comments here seem to be mostly litigating whether Pantone ought to be allowed to license colour names. To me though, the scandalous thing about this is that a piece of software which you paid for can work fine one day can stop functioning the same way the next because of a change in the vendor's license agreements. Like imagine if you bought a song which uses samples and one day the backing track just disappears because the artist didn't renew the sample clearance.

> By the time the 64-bit era rolled around, the "64-bits" definitely referred to address space.. The original Pentium had a 64-bit data path and had instructions (MMX, eg PADDQ) that could operate on 64-bit numbers - no one would call it 64-bit. By the early 2000s with the big push to mainstreaming 64-bit, it was all breaking out of the 4GB address space limitation - not the width of data.

We're ~20 years down the line and none of these "64-bit" processors support 64-bit addressing yet. Most support up to 48-bits of addressing, with some newer intel chips supporting 57-bit addresses with 5-level paging.

I always took the bit-ness of the processor to refer to the data bus size between the cpu and main memory, aka, the size of a machine word.
I don't think people would be ok with that at all. It would be a drastic overarching policy and not something any democratic EU member state aims to achieve.

Just because Europeans subscribe to a different notion of freedom of speech that doesn't mean that people want siloed and separated social media (except natural language barriers which do that automatically for most). Some probably want a "family friendly" internet but that's not unique to Europe.

Speaking from (my) German perspective it's important to realize that the national trauma of the Nazi and (Eastern German) Communist/Socialist regimes is embedded deeply into the foundations of society (e.g. even most far right extremist pay lip service to not be associated with the OG Nazis). A vast majority of people agree that the wish for society to not fall under one of those regimes again outweighs the freedom of individuals to advocate for violent far right/left causes and the abolishment of democracy.

A similar (though much weaker and more controversial) sentiment exists when it comes to celebrating crimes again humanity.

Anything beyond that is highly controversial and was/is a topic of many debates and political fights.

If you ban asking for consent, "reject" is not the default, it is the only option left. If you specifically ban "pop-ups" (or modals), I believe websites will use a standalone page instead of a modal to ask for consent. Same but different.

Easy on the hyperbole. It is extremely odd, and likely he was removed against his own volition, but he also could have been an 80yo man having a moment of confusion. Eg: Trying to take Xi's papers while the man on his left was handing Hu's folder to the 'Aide'.

It is curious we don't see the minutes leading up to the event. I've looked for the entire broadcast(after foreign media allowed in) and have only found the one version that begins after they were already trying to get him out of the chair.

Anyone have a link to an uncurated video containing the moments before the 'Aides' showed up?
I too love me mechanical watches.

However I'm not wedded to them being exclusively analog.

I have a orient ray raven II, which is big, but really practical. (I did have to regulate it my self, as its was off by 4 minutes a day. so it was desperately impractical before then) I've had it on all the time for about 5 years. It feels solid, and has 200m of waterproofing (supposedly)

I have other watches, some of them are tuning fork watches (batshit crazy mechanism) or quartz controlled tuning fork. I have a cute mechanical moonphase watch with a famous cartoon character on it.

Finally I have a High accuracy quartz watch as well.

But OP's point about them getting bigger is spot on. Lots of modern mechanical watches are getting to the 45mm size. which is far to fucking big.

However I've stopped thinking about them as "time pieces" and just accepted that its all just jewellery, that makes life far more logical.
“ Twitter, the company, makes very little interesting technology; the tech stack is not the valuable asset. The asset is the user base: hopelessly addicted politicians, reporters, celebrities, and other people who should know better but keep posting anyway. You! You, Elon Musk, are addicted to Twitter. You’re the asset. You just bought yourself for $44 billion dollars.”
You said "we’ve let in ~5 million illegal immigrants" but this is the count of 'actions', some of which are almost certainly with the same people multiple times. This number also includes some people who weren't even trying to get in illegally:

"Inadmissibles refers to individuals encountered at ports of entry who are seeking lawful admission into the United States but are determined to be inadmissible, individuals presenting themselves to seek humanitarian protection under our laws, and individuals who withdraw an application for admission and return to their countries of origin within a short timeframe."

It's not totally clear, but it seems that it also includes other "border enforcement" actions that are not necessarily related to immigration at all, e.g. intellectual property and drug seizures.

So it has nothing to do with what you were claiming.
Kasiski Examination
I think th e poster you are responding to is making the point that long-chain refined carbs, which is what you get in e.g. pasta, breakfast cereal, oatmeal, rice, etc. (even if “whole grain”, most of which just adds back fiber but has already irreversible separated that fiber from the carbs) are perceived by many people as part of a balanced diet, etc — but they are basically sugar, because they are metabolized into glucose very quickly.
Thanks for the explanation, of course the internet likes to simplify things to generate nerd outrage.

I don't think the tweet said regulation is bad by definition. The beauty of a simple < 280 chars tweet is that it can contain ambiguity and admit multiple readings.

The way I read it is more like if you substituted the EU for say, Saudi Arabia. The Saudis btw bring oil (i.e. energy) to the party - but if they brought nothing but Saudi regulations would you still invite them? What "societal costs" would you be willing to pay to adhere to a certain level of House of Saud defined civility?

There's a danger in the myopia of fake universalism, of believing everyone wants your culture and civilization's definition of civility enforced on them - and perhaps they will accommodate you if you're bringing a lot else to the party, but if that's all you're bringing you might simply find yourself uninvited from a lot of parties.
Glancing over the examples, I don't see anything that's particularly unique to us developers. Support, marketing, sales, the bosses, our customers, they could all improve their communication in the ways presented here.

For me, learning how to construct simple proofs during my early math classes at uni really helped my writing. It made me pay a lot more attention to what I'm writing, like ensuring arguments are laid out in a more logical manner and that references are clear.

Not saying I'm exceptionally good at it. But given that language was by far my weakest topic at school until then, I've since helped both my SO and my sister gain over a full grade point increase in college on hand-ins and similar, just by looking over what they've written and doing some minor tweaks like reordering sentences to ensure logical consistency in their arguments.
I used it because I already had one.

What brand is your system from? Or isn't it pre-assembled? The price of $180 sounds perfect for an increase in performance and still low power requirements.
I didn’t say it was a closed system. I’m just saying one might be better than the other, I don’t know how you do that other than compare the possibilities. If everyone had a private driver then yea that options is also better but we live in a human world not a perfect world.

Judging the right amount of information is what I struggle with. It's easier to judge whether someone wants more details when you're talking to them. It's harder when you're responding to a comment or in a chat.

When it's too little, you go back and forth. When it's too much nobody reads your novel. I tend to go into too much detail, so I'm learning go where I feel is adequate and then take a few steps back.

Yes, but the position will be taken by a honest guy already.
The effect depends on the screen technology you use. Windows guesses the pixel layout, but you can tweak ClearType to fit your screen better. You can open a wizard that takes you through six steps and asks you to select the rectangle with the best text (out of six rectangles) to tweak it to your liking.

When the subpixels don't align, ClearType can be ugly as hell, but for me the default guesses always worked out.
You don't need to buy a case.

Also, the plan was $100 for the pi4+keyboard+everything combo before all this (lets just call it the 2020 era) happened. But $100 is still a much better deal than $180.

You’re getting your head bitten off for that comparison :), but I understand what you mean, because you can sit back and watch the game occupy itself, and if you want to wait for game state to become favorable before you resume taking action (waiting for territory to change hands, for example), you can sometimes do that.

There’s a term for Paradox’ grand strategy games I like, “data surfing,” that describes what it can be like to mostly passively experience its simulations. Most idlers or clickers progress along straightforward exponential curves, but they could absolutely be designed similarly.

How Google Alerted Californians to an Earthquake Before It Hit
Whilst in general buybacks have been the main reason for why a lot of the older stocks went sky high, META's buyback last year was really a huge anomaly. The 45 billion (which to be pedantic is a TTM figure, not the 2021 figure of 50 billion) is 8x the amount spent in FY2020, about 8x the amount for FY2019 and 3x as high as their previous high of 16 billion in in 2018.

On another point: META, unlike a lot of other companies, seems to have made the mistake of being horribly under levered. If interest rates are low and spreads are tight, you need to take advantage of it. Zuck just kind of stayed away from the party for no apparent reason.
Confirmed I bought 2 HP EliteDesk G2 within the last two years and they really are great for a non-gaming workstation or server. Both under $135. One was an I5-4590 and the other an I7-4770T (both 4th gen and generally capable CPUs), both with 16G ram and an SSD. One had no OS, however the onboard license allowed me to install Win 10 Pro without any issue. Obviously these are also great for throwing Linux onto.
This really depends on the size of the screen. For most laptops, I'd argue that 4k is useless; 1440p is high-res enough that you get perfect clarity anyway.

For 83" TVs you obviously need more pixels to get a good viewing experience because you don't position yourself several meters in front of the screen to make the pixels unnoticable.

I think jjuel means bread and crackers and pasta and whatnot when they refer to low quality carbs, not sugar itself.

Many forms of carbohydrates are trivially converted to sugars such as glucose when they hit our digestive system, and so are roughly equivalent to eating sugars directly, metabolically speaking.

I’ve been told that adding a healthy dose of fat to a processed carbohydrate is a good way to prevent this instant sugarification process, and so I eat my bread with lots of olive oil or cheese or butter.

But I'll make note of the recommendations! (I also happen to be a fan of North Carolina style sauce.)

For the amount of time I've spent in the Raleigh and Triangle area over the years, I've done way too little exploration of the area--which is very unusual for me. Unfortunately my upcoming trip would have been a great opportunity. But of course it was sandwiched in between other travel so I didn't really have the time.

That really depends on many factors, like whether you've taken on VC funding.
