Op, did you even read the article? It says the police raising a new signalling flag as a warning. It has nothing to do with anyone possessing a flag and being arrested.

It’s Chrome, the app, that’s reading the clipboard, not the website.

I'm quite sure the phrase or idiom used by Xi is ”粉身碎骨“, which can be interpreted figuratively or literally. Funny how it reminds me exactly of the protesters crushed by the tanks at the Tiananmian Incident.

My takeaway from the article and from other studies is that exercise improves the condition of your brain, allowing one to be more efficient at what they are doing. Something that the article didn't state is that exercise has a positiv

It’s just a matter of time though. Li-ion batteries are typically rated for 500-1000 recharge cycles.

I was among the first to receive my AirPods back in end of 2016. They are now down to <2.5hours listening on my iPhone and <2hours on my MBP (for some unknown reason). They are great on the go but the lack of sound isolation is proble

I purchased mine when they were first released (end of 2016), and as much as I love my AirPods, they are now down to ~2.5 hours of listening time per charge from my iPhone and <2hours when listening from my MBP for unknown reasons. The b

I have a question though. Have you ever had a bad trip on psychedelics? The closest analogy to that seems to be an episode of psychosis. The enthusiasm for psychedelics seems to drop significantly for anyone who has had one of those. Sam Ha

They are not chemically addictive but my suspicion is that they can be psychologically addictive. I once knew someone who would argue for a Brave New World-esque world because of his (positive) experiences of psychedelics. I don’t think his

I think what he’s trying to say is you can’t overdose in the sense of most other drugs, unless you take a stupendous amount of it (say >50 the regular dose). There is some correlation between dosage and whether the experience will be pos

Thanks for sharing your personal experiences, especially your history of depression. It’s not something that most people are willing to speak about because of the social stigmas associated. The cynic in me thinks that society needs to rewar

Interesting point. We could be looking at a huge compensation from Boeing to the major airlines for this. But personally, I think the damage to their reputation, and possibly FAA's, would far exceed that.

I think you might be missing the point stated in the article: the damage to the reputation of Boeing and possibly US economy is more important than the loss of a few (hundred) lives. You can say they cared about the loss of lives, just not

Not sure why this post is being downvoted but I agree with this. It’s not entirely unique to India but its frequency/speed of wobble is distinct from others. Perhaps it has to do with their languages. Most of the languages have up and

Has anyone done comparison of iPhone X’s PWM OLED vs iPhone 8/7’s non-PWM LCD? I’ve found the screen on my 2016 MacBook Pro to be uncomfortable(eye strain) for reading despite its resolution and wide colour gamut compared to other scre

Yeah. Products like this have been around ever since the first iPhone. I’m not sure what’s the big deal about this particular one. Click bait?

Interesting. Do you have a source for this?

Meh. Seems like anything China-related gets to be on the front page nowadays. I’m sure academies like this are all over the world. Tbh, I’m much more interested in the inner workings of Blackwater type companies that operate in the ME.

I’m not surprised. I’m hitting 90C avg, 95% CPU, fan maxed, 25C room temp, running W10 on a 2016 15in MBP.

Well said. I think this describes the phenomenon perfectly. It’s not complete anarchy, everything goes sort of situation. There is a set of hidden rules that most people abide by. A contrast with a typical Western setting is it doesn’t tend

I can definitely see how a century of wars and conflicts can erode a society’s moral values. Expansionist foreign policy? How so? Perhaps the South China Sea?

In case anyone is curious, the “various reasons” are the Opium Wars, collapse of the Qing dynasty/monarchy, World War 2, the subsequent civil war and the Great Leap Forward. I probably wouldn’t use “a mess” to describe all those events

I would agree that China is probably the opposite of libertarian politically. Culturally, I would find it hard to agree. Most people don’t give a crap about others (in a liberating and selfish manner) unless it concerns them directly.
