Almost all of the American military actions you mentioned were in response to Soviet or communist actions. In no way were they just the American government being violent for the sake of it.

Maybe you think that America and allies should have just stepped aside and let communist armies capture the various states, but geopolitics in real life is a little more complex than that.

There's exactly one country (Japan) where establishing a liberal democracy at gunpoint worked out. The US then tried to do the same in like a quarter of the world and kept failing. At some point some people up there ought to get the message right? I don't know how else to do it but war simply isn't it.

Chinese merchant ships freely navigate the ocean. China is only "boxed in" by Taiwan in the event of a war, not during peace time, and the most likely cause for such a war is China trying to invade their neighbors, particularly Taiwan. If they don't do that, they have nothing to worry about. Nobody is going to come invade China, they're armed with enough nukes to ruin the planet and have a massive military, they have nothing to fear from external threats.

An independent Taiwan is a threat to their plans for military conquest, nothing more.

There is a line of evidence/thinking that says relations between democracies are a lot more stable. So if you make everyone a democracy there would be no wars and a lot more peace. And peace is what humanity (or each individual) aspires to be.

Unfortunately this may result in some degree of intervention or politicking that others may not like. Intervention, specifically, is forcing judgement onto others.

Regarding these elites, you could say it's a calling from whatever Christian god that tells them to spread whatever good they deem it to be. But it may just as well be hubris, or human nature - a superiority complex that comes from being at the top of the chain of 'merit' and status. Anyway, it's happened before. Even in the colonial times there were British who thought colonizing India was a 100% good thing for humanity.

> First of all, what makes a thing a good thing? A good thing fulfils its unique function.

Something can be good or even the best without being unique, in fact we can only say things are good relatively to other things in a similar category, otherwise we cannot know. Good or bad only makes sense by comparison and uniqueness is rarely the factor.

It seems difficult to test. Being difficult to test is usually a sign of inconvenient APIs and modules. For instance, the hiding of elements happens in multiple levels - the front-end needs a test to make sure the right intermediate representation is being generated. The backend, in turn, needs to be tested to make sure the intermediate representation with a hidden element generates the proper linker information and the linker itself needs a test to make sure the correctly annotated object code results in the correct artefact lacking external information about the hidden symbol. Testing end-to-end seems very laborious and error prone. Root-cause-analysis should have pinpointed the place the issue originates and one or more possible paths where it propagates downstream to inform future tests.

It also disturbs me that the author mentioned the order at which sources are compiled to matter in the final result. It should never matter.

When we build software we should always make it in such way it’s trivial to write tests for it. If writing a test is easy, it indicates using the tool you wrote is also easy.
What you don't seem to comprehend is that to a CEO; when their employees play golf or go to dinners with clients, etc it is recreation, not business.
in other words if we think freedom is better we make it so fucking obvious we live in utopia it’s painful.

China isn’t going to roll over because life is better in the US.

In the end it will come down to power and the ability to project it. You can do that a lot of different ways - politically, economically or militarily, but in the end whether life is better in the US won’t really matter.

I can’t help but think this IP theft scare, while completely real, has a version in the Western US-led economics called ”big business” or ”VC money” or ”platform control”.

How many independent innovations get snatched (sherlocked?) by big business taking the idea and making their own version, when they see a small player that found a customer segment a large company never bothered investigating?

When large sums of money is what’s needed to execute any novel idea to full completion before your competitors can, that money becomes just a version of ”IP theft” or unfair competition. I think what they are getting is a taste of their own medicine.

EVs were a mature idea a decade+ ago, but big money oil companies hamstrung it and big money ICE manufacturers argued it was not worth their time or effort. The Chinese market and leaders knew the fundamentals were valid and cornered the entire manufacturing market before it could be cornered by western companies.

The last layout strategy I was decent at was <table>, so you should be fine.
Based on the names of the endpoints, I get the idea that they're altering the image files on the fly (and probably caching processed files) based on the URL. I've seen this quite often on blogs and such. Serving files shouldn't take much CPU power, but resizing images can get quite expensive, especially if you want to achieve lower egress fees by using better compression methods.

Still, you need to deal with bad scrapers. Plus, this scraper downloaded at a consistent 650mbps, taking up half the unlimited Hetzner pipe by itself; if you'd go for a 10gbps Hetzner machine, you suddenly start paying egress fees once you hit 20TB of traffic. Even then, if you go the cheapo Hetzner server route, you probably still want at least some kind of CDN to keep latency down. Add to that costs of backups and synchronising failovers, and you may end up with more traffic than you'd expect.

I think going bare metal would save more than the signed URLs would, at least until the ten thousanth customer, but not everyone is proficient in maintaining servers. A lot of cloud projects I see are coming from programmers who don't want to/don't know how to maintain a Linux server and just want to run their code. If you're in that category, taking time off to learn server maintenance or hiring a sysadmin can easily be a lot more expensive than paying the extortionate rates cloud providers demand.
So what are you suggesting? Don't disable it?
Sometimes leaders can still make not rational actions. Putin still didn't need to invade Ukraine. I think the same can happen with Taiwan. For me I also believe "they don't really need Taiwan" but I think a lot of Chinese people think about it not in economical reason but national/historical and military reason - many of them say that china is really afraid if US will start putting their own military bases in Taiwan so they supposed to don't care much about Taiwan as more wanna control the land.

> They could go further by doing statistical risk limiting auditing for all elections

I doubt that would help with avoiding or correcting any damage.

Lets take the obvious scenario, someone does a blatant large scale steal of an election. (they get access to manufacturer, set up their own firmware to be updated on all voting machines)

Imagine the damage in that case.

Let's say you do detect and try to correct.

It's already too late. The winners will contest statistic analysis and say fake news then tie it and any recount up in lawsuits. (perhaps combined with arranging for some ballots to be destroyed in secondary storage so any recount would be contestable too)

They will assume power and it will be too late. (there is a time limit for recount and supreme court might decide to force usage of bad results)

Or they might be prevented from getting in power (how would that work, who would be leading?)

You will have revolts and unrest either way...

That sort of chaos would be exactly what a foreign power like Russia or China would want.

Punishing them would be impossible and they would have already won at this point, it wouldn't even matter who wins eventually.

Domestic actors might also view this as their only option to win and use it regardless... If they get in power it's game over, if they lose they might still be in a powerful position with lots of support.

So why not avoid the issue entirely and go paper ballots with independent observers.

> per capita GDP (the living standards of Chinese people)

note that the parenthetical isn't entirely true. it's a very mathematical measure of living standards, and sure, one number is much bigger than the other, which does mean something, but how happy are you really doomscrolling various feeds about how the world is doomed? The wrong person's gonna get elected, you just know it. How happy can you really be knowing that to be the future? Or, hey, know anybody who's died from fentanyl recently?

There's a lot GDP doesn't capture. Hell, in terms of buying more things and driving the economy, you could look at it and say divorce is good for GDP since everybody is now buying twice as much stuff, not to mention all the lawyers bills. Not sure I'd argue that it's great for living standards though. so yes, let's compare GDP for what it measures, money number divided by people number, and see that our number is bigger, yay. But simplifying that to living standards is lazy shortcut thinking. If a FAANG engineer makes $400k/yr, but minimum wage is $15/hr or $30,000, their average pay is $215k, which sounds pretty great! The living standards for two someones making $215k are much nicer than for the one person making $30k.

How much do you trust your neighbors? How about those city/rural/suburb folk, especially the ones the extremists on the opposite side of the political spectrum? That contribute to a good living standard?

GDP isn't a good measure of living standards, it's a neat number to compare, and means something, but it doesn't define living standards.
I've had one(mission to mars) and I was really excited about it, but sold it within few months, the build quality was just so bad. Mine had two specs of visible dust on the dial, the hands were not alligned correctly, and worst of all the quartz movement that they use is actually crap, you can hear it tick from across the room it's such a bad movement. I actually went back to the store to compare with several other moonswatches that they had there and they all had some kind of factory defect like this. But you know, in any other watch I'd probably pay a local watchmaker a tiny bit of money to open it up, clean the dust, align the hands and be done with it - but in this one, you can't - it's all sealed up, the movement is literally disposable.

I also have an actual moonwatch and for me personally I love the idea of a "fun" moonswatch to go with it - but at the quality currently presented it's just not worth it, I wouldn't buy one again.

I’m trying to understand where this perspective is coming from?

From most measures China has peaked. Its state capitalism has gotten it a housing bubble and investment in industries with not enough customers. Combine that with its falling birth rate and high youth unemployment it would seem that the failures, not successes, are on display.
It is not clear that the wars you cited, especially Vietnam, were necessary to fight and defeat communism, anymore than the Iraq was needed to reduce WMDs. This might be the reason for the wars given by the government, even a sincerely held position, but that is not to say that it is correct. Having a better economic system relative to communism, diplomacy with China to part ways from USSR - these seem more important.

That great violence unleashed in various wars wasn't actually necessary for realizing the goals of the countries involved is a very important history lesson which can prevent future violence.

(Similarly, one of the motivations for World Wars - who gets control of the colonies, seems futile in hindsight as the system of colonies was anyway dismantled.)
this example is trivially solvable
> people seem to talk about it as if the US was acting in a vacuum

The Cold War ended more than 30 years ago, yet the same “interventionism” continues? This is isn’t ancient history, we fought two whole imperial wars since the with the same exact thought process without the USSR even existing anymore.

I don’t deny that there was some kind of context to American imperialism and I have no interest in whitewashing what the Soviets were doing. But to say that these “interventions” were a purely defensive/reactionary measure against communism is silly, the US has a vested interest in protecting its hegemony control. It’s that simple.

May we stand judged by our own actions and words and not by SEO posts portraying them :p Aristotle is well worth reading for someone interested in philosophy, but he himself did not claim to have discovered how to be happy (he thought of himself as explicating and systematizing what everyone thinks about happiness), his notion of telos (poorly translated as 'function') is not subject to your rightly raised objection, and, though he did believe that humans are distinguished from non-human animals by possession of a rational faculty, he thought we shared with non-human animals the capacity to feel.
> I was reading this a few months ago but put it down because the language and characters clunky

I'd generally describe the story as having great concepts and okay writing. It's worth working through the writing to get to the concepts in my opinion.
This is fascinating. I realized that a model I have for evaluating relationships is basically another take on Albertus Magnus's model of friendship.

I'll start with Magnus:

Albertus, following Aristotle, distinguished between different types of friendship. He identified three main types:

Friendship of Utility: Based on mutual benefit, where individuals associate because they gain something from the relationship.

Friendship of Pleasure: Based on shared enjoyment or pleasure, where friends take delight in each other's company.

Friendship of Virtue: The highest form of friendship, where the bond is based on mutual respect and a shared commitment to moral goodness and virtue. This type of friendship is selfless and enduring.

Now, I'll run through my model, which I have applied to dating. I call the three dimensions: friendship, sex, and romance. You can have varying compatibility on all three dimensions, but in a sense it basically works out to Magnus's version above.

Friendship means shared interests. You like doing to same stuff and spending time together.

Sex is the pleasure compatibility vector in Magnus's formulation. i.e. how much fun do you have when you're together. Don't think of it just as sex, but also just like "wow this is fun and pleasurable"

Romance, people find this word tricky. I also don't think Magnus's idea of "virtue" hits it correctly either. It's basically a sense of tenderness and the deep-rooted feeling that you and the other person should have shared outcomes.
