To put it this way is too much of a simplification. There is good and bad. For now their priorities intersect with the chinese commoner, ie. Protecting themselves via serving the chinese commoner. Another bonus to this is the ability to mak

Thanks for the nuanced view. While I'm sure these measures do some good overall, I hope this doesn't escalate the chinese education system into cultivating a bubble of thought similar to colonial era china. Eventually, they should

How about the -shocking- possibility that google thinks 'genocide' is US/Western rhetoric to stoke tensions and keep nations under western hegemony, and they feel it's their duty to not contribute to that?

You're missing the point. You can't make such a claim about complexity based off the amount of software there is. Games are by far the more popular software to make. This is why I've narrowed it down for you, hopefully you ca

There's a lot of games out there, way more than there are web browsers. For a start try comparing games with manpower/dev support levels similar to a web browser like chrome. If we take a AAA open world game, the game somehow gets

And on the flip side tech gets Leetcode interviews, shoehorned microservices when you dont need it, slow web browsers. The game industry iterates far faster and the result are programs that can handle far more features than the average tech

Would you be willing to pay for their excess population then? As a US citizen? Because the excess population puts more pressure on China's infrastructure and you're pushing for no birth control.

A culture of ostracizing what's perceived as 'the dumb and uninformed' is what got the US Trump. Putting up a wall against them didn't get the US to a better place. Like it or not, there's a substantial amount of mi

Does anyone not seem to care about code hotloading at all? Shared libraries enable that. It's a HUGE iteration bonus that seems gets glossed over in favor of onerously processes and dogma.

I would agree that these weapons should be out of the hands of the average civilian gunowner and put in the hands of say, army commanders. But then you already have the civilian gunowners who dont go through regular psyche tests no?
