Of course I have read the often repeated claims written in English by those who have no personal experience with China. One of the sibling comments guided me to https://www.douyin.com where ten minutes of browsing was enough to

What makes you so certain of these assertions? They don’t match what my Chinese friends say.

I am aware of these policies. It is not clear to me that they are having the claimed effect.

I am aware of these claims. The document to which you linked says, “If enforced as intended…” It is not clear to me how universally these regulations are enforced. My skepticism requires that I go there? This is a different definition of sk

How would a skeptic confirm this? Can one get a VPN inside China?

It is a silly term. It is “on-demand compilation”, with the latency that entails. “Just-in-time compilation” would be finished right when you need to execute the code.

I built some tooling around the CDC data. I am interested in input on how to better visualize it: https://mcculley.github.io/VisualizingObservedDeaths/

I used to run a consultancy that developed software and managed IT. We benefitted greatly from having private offices (1-2 people) combined with common areas for impromptu discussions. Our signal for do-not-disturb was a closed door. I have

I have had to do it where all of the member methods are private (or otherwise inaccessible to me) and toString() is the only useful way to get information out of the object.

This is a good example of how microtransactions make more things possible. Going lower than $1 is difficult with standard transaction fees.

I’m not sure the claims are incorrect. I live in a great downtown with lots of unique local pizza places. But just 30 minutes in any direction are suburbs that have only chains. My situation is rare in terms of total pizza dollars spent.

What do you think his employer should have done? I recently had to terminate an employee who was becoming unhinged and a threat to his coworkers. Maybe his employer is big enough to carry him on payroll while he gets treatment?

> It would be really cool if some Linux distro provided both x64 and x32 packages for programs not expected to rarely if ever use more than 4 GiB. How would one decide which version to use? Wait for the x32 version to crash and try again

What does winning look like to you? I cannot imagine, for example, Apple pulling out of this war. Do you think other TVOS players will still be around?

I have always had mine set to “Everyone”. I have been amused by some of the files (photos, mostly) I have received. I hope I continue to have the option to leave it open.

There are many situations where buying an existing business is cheaper and faster than dealing with the regulatory regimes for opening a new business (e.g., gas stations, restaurants, liquor licenses). I don’t see why banks would have less

Drones in general are regulated in the U.S. There are many restrictions.

I would find such a delay unacceptable for a public agency. Anything visible in the photos should be releasable.

There is an enormous spectrum between "we cannot release some proprietary data from COTS components" and "we cannot release images without approval from our vendors". (Not that I am convinced that this is the real reason

Indeed. This is why some (relatively few) organizations are designed to limit growth. Not all credit unions have the problem of growing to serve other customers.

If the fundamental delay to NASA releasing images is leak of proprietary data, that is a pretty good argument against the continued existence of NASA as a public agency.

The page says that messages are also transported via wifi and Bluetooth. Presumably, the app can send messages locally when they are 100 feet away.

Most of the people who have the option of “studying hard” do not work as hard as the blue collar workers in rural India or rural China. I’m not sure there is a valid argument that consumption should be based on who “works hardest”. Emission
