> All I'm saying is, arranged visits by Chinese government to Xinjiang are meaningless and can't prove, or even hint, what China is really doing there. The "evidence" provided by China will look the same, regardless

From your post, it seems your issue lies mainly with distrust of the CCP. I agree, that's fine. > However the two situations are vastly different. The US has a history of reporting on issues that happen on their own turf. Sometimes

Not saying everything's false btw. My guess is China/CCP doesn't have much trust in western news outlets, hence no freedom of press. Also, you're making a lot of claims on the second guy too. > There's no need to

First, how can you get closer to the truth without ever going to the damn place? Second, I agree there's a capability of falsification from either side, be it china or a news outlet. But neither does it translate to guilt on either sid

IIRC china invited many nations to xinjiang, not just muslims but some western-aligned countries too. The muslim countries and said it was fine and no major mistreatment was going on, while I believe some western countries refused to go, cl

My question is: does this price hike still make them cheaper compared to AWS?

I suspect the answer stems from the commoditization of the hardware - in which the meaningful differences for a particular good are so few between that no one cares much about which brand it is except that it fulfills their needs. And as yo

You might be a fairly 'protected' person. This is one of the ways unscrupulous managers try to get you to do things that are detrimental to you yet beneficial to themselves/the company - to get you into a state of self-doubt

It's ego. The simple awareness of a metric and where you are on it vs where the other guy is gives raise to comparisons, and ultimately feeds your ego. And that ego gets in the way of what could be better relationships.

It seems you have a innate perchant for convincing someone to trust you to the point you're willing to say untruths, and knowing you will get away from any form of backlash. I've also met people similar to this behaviour irl, but

I think a lot of people are completely missing the point if they're recommending textbooks or prescription-like books - it's very likely you were already interested in these subjects beforehand and are really just upholding that b

God the notion that declarative design will somehow fix everything and is the end all be all needs to go away. As people grow more experienced with programming they want more control over the flow of their program, so they can focus on fix

Many of the westerners are already late to this idea of China being the next world power. It has already been discussed between those familiar in geopolitics - it's just that the US/west exceptionalism story is etched deep into yo

Hi, on a similar track here. How long did you take to 'rebuild your savings'? Is there a target amount you computed? And how does it translate across living expenses, because I'm not living in Silicon Valley nor America. Is t

Yea the SWE ego stroking shows quite a bit in anonymous settings. It's like they think they're doing valuable work only in the FAANGs.

Man, you have got some idealistic, naive thoughts that don't work irl. What if the poor country has it's lifelines supplied by the bad actor? They will act accordingly for their self interests. I highly suggest you read up on corr

Say you propose a fix to the UN security council. The plan will be considered by the permanent seats, and on seeing there are more downsides than upsides, they veto the plan. What will you do then? I do agree the org needs to adjust it&#x27

Are people seeking alternative viewpoints or just dogpiling the same opinions with minor alterations? There's far more criticism of nfts on today's social media channels than the other, I find. In any case, it's good to keep

In any case, developers should get out of their nerd bubbles a little more. YES there are metrics that exist outside our field, but no, we gotta follow these outdated gurus who havent coded in a while, fetish-size complexity, come from a ba
