I'll bet we also find out eventually that the dam sabotage was conducted by Ukraine This particular report still strains credibility though. Capability-wise much more likely to be a US-backed operation. And the US gained the most from

it's a perfect encapsulation of the issues with the American "left." as if the issues people face and the complaints they have are invalid because they can't articulate them. and then they wonder why they alienate voters

i find playing these semantic games (you dont actually mean capitalism! other nominally capitalist nations have fixed <housing/healthcare/etc.>!) far more meaningless. everyone knows this is about the american economic syste

The Phoenix fab is extremely likely to be a disaster. Even besides the cost of labor and incompatible work culture, the whole idea was a political concession to the US to begin with rather than genuine interest on TSMC's part. You can

They're out of touch for thinking that tweeting this out wouldn't have consequences. Regardless of the validity of the criticism, publicly attacking your own employer is a stupid move if you want to stay there. I cannot sympathize

you literally just scrolled past several comments with evidence to make this reply. not to mention how naive one's priors must be to think no western actors engage in these activities, given everything else we know about the US espiona

I do not dispute that there are more obvious routes, nor that this is a topic of significant interest to believers. But I difficult for me to believe that secular historians have overwhelmingly less interest in the subject to the point wher

compiling an argument that Jesus did not exist seems like one of the most obvious routes to take for a nonbeliever seeking to discredit Abrahamic religions, so I hardly think the historicity of Jesus is something of interest only to religio

people used to talk about R vs Python for data science many years ago, for instance, and we all know how that ended. imo if Mojo lives up to these claims, the pitch of Python compatibility is almost certainly too compelling to ignore. not t

exactly what, pray tell, does it say about historical consensus?

there are untold numbers of fictional heroes, this hardly needed proof though there is no debate among scholars about whether Jesus existed, so you chose a poor example

dismissing the concept of ethnicity may be appealing in the Western bubble but you will find few takers in the rest of the world. to reduce the NK situation to "they won't let anyone go" is also disingenuous. even if you igno

a question as innocuous as this is a "bad faith argument"? We are in a thread about Xiaomi _hardware_, but nefarious intentions are more probable to you than someone just having the original subject in mind?

laughable assertion. I can find people equally dissatisfied with the US. in the aggregate the Chinese people approve of their government at a level westerners literally cannot comprehend. These include studies from western institutions like

Of course, left unchecked the barbarians will destroy us all! Never mind that you surround them with military outposts, are the two major oceans away from Eurasia, and have been the instigator of every conflict with them. And you have the t

how liberal and democratic, where 1b westerners and their 350m american elites especially get to lord over the remaining 7b, and consume orders of magnitude more resources per person.

I must have missed when China has ever threatened global security. Western belligerence has driven nearly all modern international conflict.

only an American could say this with a straight face. the horrors the US inflicted on other countries in the last several decades is so many times greater than anything China has ever done. most importantly, stop projecting American imperia

Westerners benefited directly from the downfall of the USSR. Gorbachev prolonged the American liberal world order at the expense of his people, to the West that makes him a great hero

You are talking about the costs of half-hearted US lockdowns that accomplished the worst of both worlds. Meanwhile China's strict lockdowns allowed them to end said lockdowns extremely quickly. Things like welding doors shut were tempo

China's policies have kept the global economy afloat. They've been operating for the last two years almost at normal, in stark contrast to the US and company. And what a disgusting comment to make. Yes, how dare they stop producin

Oh please, spare me. So what did "ample opportunity to learn the lesson" mean? "Observed often enough by now," we don't need to talk any specifics, _obviously_ Western ideals are superior! End of history and all tha

I'm happy with my Sakura Foam eraser but the Pentel is certainly a classic. Not sure about Staedtler but everyone I've known throughout grade school and college coalesced onto Japanese brands, presumably for a reason ;)

I've used the Kuru Toga for years. The mechanism is so good that I don't see the argument for any other pencil. Which is actually a shame, as I can't get excited for other pencils anymore. During my school years we had all ki

So if the CCP truly cared about the people they'd cull the elderly. This is the quality of discussion on China these days on HN. The idea that "hey, obviously they wouldn't consider that, maybe they're not the comic-book

> It's a deeply philosophical problem that China hasn't resolved, despite ample opportunity to learn the lesson. What a bizarre statement. How can you simultaneously think it's a deep philosophical issue and also that ther
