So now HN readers are not allowed to make predictions based on past and recent behaviour and revelations (that in my opinion make these predictions extremely likely)? Anyhow it's your site, your rules. I visit HN to discover new techno

I've never seen any major browser (or some other method) censor/rewrite an individual page that's protected by SSL before.. as far as I know then it's not possible, which is why they've had to resort to banning the

If you feel that way then you better ban me because I know I'll continue to "primarily" advocate digital privacy, and condemn those who seek(/contribute) to turn the world into a surveillance dystopia.

I'd argue North Korea support the idea that isolation does work to the degree that they're unable to cause (significant) harm to people outside their own borders. I feel the goal at this point should be to protect Taiwan and the S

At this point I'd say the goal should be to isolate China and make them suffer economically.. We can see what they've done to the people of Tibet, Hong Kong, Xijiang, those practicing Falun Gong and so many more. They're also

Things like these are why I never bothered looking into getting a Chromebook.. developer mode? debug features? The article you liked is even more confusing.. Why can't people just stick a bootable USB in the laptop and install whatever

Yes, I would welcome a collective foreign effort with open arms. I also think there are other and better ways to save the Chinese people (and the rest of the world from their government) besides invading the country.

I don't know about you but I find it maddening that you have to take apart the laptop and risk damaging the hardware simply to install another OS, and I'd feel just as frustrated as the author if I had to deal with that..

If you use Android then I strongly recommend Firefox, you can easily install ublock origin and other addons, and they even have an option to disable cookies altogether.. it's really a joy to use.

More cons: you're directly supporting a surveillance state that has no regard for human rights, that is engaged with concentration camps and medical genocide, and that won't hesitate a second to kick you out of the country and ban

If my country was engaged in sending Muslims to concentration camps, medical genocide (organ harvesting), and all sorts of human rights abuses, then I would very much appreciate if there was a collective effort to get my country to politica

It doesn't need to contain new information in order to be relevant. Their behavior may not affect you but I can guarantee that it affects other people, such as myself. I believe doing what's the morally right thing to do is more i

I really don't understand this line of thinking.. if someone (whether it's a country, company, person) engage in evil behavior then of course we should do everything possible to dissuade others from supporting them until they chan

I think Republic of China would at this point prefer to be referred to as Taiwan rather than China. This way they can also distance themselves from all the human rights abuses happening in Xi Jinping's China, you know concentration cam

It's important to realize that lack of public outcry/protests, or even public approval, does not necessarily mean that they support it. All my Chinese Tsinghua/Peking friends (20+) find it horrifying, yet many of them will fi
