Xi is actively giving more power to the market. In fact he's been compared to Ronald Reagan. It's just that he indeed implements quite a lot of surveillance measures as well. China is becoming like the US in a lot of aspects. Is t

I would argue that China is just becoming like another US, which is depressing. The US is just a plutocracy and is hardly much more democratic than China. Some European countries do have better democracies. I can only hope that they are abl

Well said. Also, some European countries do have better democracies than the US. It horrifies me that the China is now basically becoming another US in so many aspects of the society. But it seems to be very hard to stop now. I can only hop

You do realize that Saudi is the biggest ally of the US in the region and it starts all the wars/carries on its domestic affairs however it pleases, with US backing, right?

What sensationalist and exaggerated rhetoric. People who claim imminent collapse and chaos in China have been doing so for decades. They can keep on trying. Nobody is listening to them. The Chinese leadership knows too well what a complete

Cynicism is one thing but this ideological matter is another. Many (I'd say even the majority of the youth) do believe that any radical change right now is likely to do more harm than good. Of course they also have a lot of dissatisfac

You're not even replying to the OP's arguments. Such a ridiculous reply. If anything, this history precisely says why their former form of governance works somehow while the current form of "democracy" (forced upon them

Do you mean not a lot of people understand or "do not understand"? Your wording is a bit confusing. Apparently more self-awareness is good but indeed I'm afraid if they keep being imbued in the mainstream media who keep feedi

This is just such a nonsensical ideological piece without any regard to facts, which are always much more intricate and delicate than what simple lofty words such as "capitalism", "democracy", "dictatorship" et

Isn't what he said the natural consequence of technology being available to a wider and wider segment of the public, reaching ubiquity? This is to be expected when what was originally something only known in a small circle is now havin

I think a large part of nowadays' use case of blockchain-based technology is to skirt regulations and conduct transactions that would have been illegal/attracted scrutiny if done with the traditional, "trusted" channel.

The way things have been going is promising but the WSL is still too far away from being able to be considered as a place where full-time development happens. For example a true tiling window manager like i3 gives me tremendous productivity

I think the simplest explanation is that the number of jobs has been exploding but the number of people who really know their stuffs isn't keeping up. It takes time for any population to adjust to a new situation. Surely it's hard

We can totally accept old-fashioned UI as developers. Hell, we even work in our terminals all day or use i3wm instead of any desktop environment. However, most apps target normal end users, not developers. Show your cousin whether she likes

Not sure if GWT is still that relevant nowadays. AngularJS was developed by Google many years ago. It was already pure JS.

Not that much surprising since America is very much corrupt isn't it... At least it's really much of a jungle where only power and money talk. So many things are going on in this country that you can easily call bribery or at leas

> Problem with the Dell XPS is it still only supports 16GB of RAM, which is getting to be aggravating for me. XPS 15 does have 32GB RAM? Though it only comes with the 4K UHD model.

That's an important point. I think the thing about Telegram is that it would indeed much less willingly cooperate with governments than say Whatsapp or FB Messenger do, since they don't have much relation with the western governme

Ah OK. I didn't read it carefully then. My bad. But then this is apparently not guaranteed to work since there's in most cases a permanent spread between exchanges due to various factors, e.g. their availability in countries, thei

Exactly. I find Safari extremely unpleasant to use in many cases. Firefox Beta on Android at least makes me feel much better.

Why not run arbitrage on ETH etc. which have far shorter transaction time than BTC. That surely is a much safer bet with essentially the same API. With the current transaction time BTC arbitrage doesn't seem to be a wise idea at all. I

I honestly just think that org-mode should receive more widespread adoption and attention, especially within the developer community. It does everything. All those new products are sort of reinventing the wheels, and in a 100 times less fea

Nah. At this rate people will simply abandon the ship sooner or later. There's definitely some deterioration going on instead of only a cynical strategy shift. The new MBP isn't attractive anymore. The software stagnates. The only

The problem I find with the whole episode is that it would be incredibly naive to think that only VW cheats the emission tests (as apparently also evidenced by the recent news that Fiat Chrysler also did it, with likely many other carmakers

One thing I don't get though is how eventually it has "profound implications for the competitiveness of the US tech sector". If the employees now wouldn't want to be compensated with options because of the tax, can'

Maybe they just want to be famous so that the kingpins can't just kill them off easily then. Just as people claim one reason for Abramovic buying Chelsea is so that he becomes famous and can't be easily purged in the Russian polit

Or is it? If the operations are truly intended to be espionage and thus covert of course you won't hear it in the mass media, which would only tend to report busted enemy operations. CIA has massive operations everywhere. Basing everyt
