Ok, when there is extreme bias for untruthful, factually incorrect, obtuse and imbalance in HN opinions, I resign. I want to be part of a community that is not overrun by falsehood and hypocrisy. I shall resign from HN. It was fun. Btw, I h

People on HN engaging in whatboutism - can you please find a single article from the CCP state media that criticizes the CCP? I could literally go on WSJ/NYT/WaPo right now and find many articles criticizing US government. That&

You should be talking about the credibility of the CCP state media then? I'd rather have WSJ with decades of history of reputation vs. CCP State Media which is by definition owned by the CCP. Infuriating hypocrisy.

Totally agree.

by spectramax 7y ago
Sure, I agree. But can we have this as a separate discussion. Focus of this article is about expelling journalists from China.

Liberal societies around the world are afraid of making strong statements and criticism of the way China handled this outbreak. The CCP is separate from the Chinese people and it has created an aura of defiance, callous behavior and intoler

I prefer boring that works vs. new that doesn't work. What would be cool if the new thing worked really well and it was different/interesting. This design is only the latter, hence the slight disdain. But, I applaud the work tha

Good design is about how a thing works, not what it looks like. This calendar and clock does not work well - I am willing to bet my entire life's savings in a psychology study that determines the reaction time to read the date + time o

Not sure why this is being downvoted. It’s a fact - it’s objectively harder to read. This criticism is valid and although the clock is super cool, it’s bad design. Does that mean we shouldn’t do projects like this? No. Is it important to hi

The cognitive load to be able to read the calendar is quite high. It took me a few seconds to tell what the date/time is. It's very cool, but I am not sure if this is good design.

Does anyone get the feeling after watching the video in the article that SF feels "worn" out? Today, it is embarassing to walk about SF without seeing homeless people, shit and grime, trash everywhere, unkept, unclean and just gen

Based on the kind of things the Ad-tech industry does [1], without proper laws protecting users, I have absolutely zero...zilch trust in any advertisement company - I am not partial to Google, rope in Microsoft, Viacom, Amazon, Adobe, Oracl

That's normal. We've bloated the javascript ecosystem so much that its impossible to expect a fast loading page these days.

This is infuriating, I am visibly shaking. Why can't Google act out of the interest of user privacy and stop collecting data in these dire times for once? Charge me $5, but stop collecting data about me. Edit: Sorry about my language.

My 2 cents: - Use dense and small fonts, there is no need to follow the current trends of massive typography - Create a layout that is easy to follow - Do not highjack the scroll wheel (if you're in the zoomable region of the map, I ca

Dang, can you please look at this account, spewing extremely rude comments. Flagged.

You're right, I'll edit to to "authoritarian" regimes. What I meant was that authoritarian goverments cannot afford dissent and try everything to supress.

I disagree with your second conjecture. The polarization of United States has been largely due to bankcrupting its middle class of its industry, paying off executives(not literally, but due to allure of making cheaper goods in China), socia

As an American, we are inspired by German people and their talent, I've personally spent a lot of time with German suppliers. We will kick our president out in the next election cycle, hope to rebond our diplomatic ties with EU. US-EU

From all Americans, I want to apologize for our stupid fucking leader.

US-EU ties are a much deeper than what the current US president has stirred up. What an embarrassment. Give 8 months and perhaps have a new president and things may turn for the better. I vividly recall the support and warm of the people of

Definitely, you can also strap a gun on it and it will become even more effective at policing the civilian population.

Truth. They're using drones to following people and ask them to go back into their homes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPw6xjwAlHc With complete lack of freedom and privacy, you can achieve a lot. They're doing

Why does every criticism of China have to have a corollary accompanying US criticism? Can we not just talk about one issue at a time instead of muddling up the waters?

by spectramax 7y ago
Why is this downvoted? There is a source and the point is valid. This is a fact of what's going on in China. To the downvoters - explain.

I think so, if we are talking about Jack Ma, don't you think?
117.
by spectramax 7y ago
Jack Ma cannot be trusted. He swings high and low, doesn't know where the ball is. He once hit a Alibaba home run and thinks he is a hotshot. It's hard to trust Jack Ma with undertones of the CCP propaganda in this humanitarian ai

Zoom is owned indirectly by the Chinese government, not sure what that means to your company but FYI.

Yes, but the average temperature in vast majority of the areas is higher than the avg temperature of say Europe. When we say Africa is warmer, it is a simplification simply by the virtue that its centroid closer to equator than Europe. Thus
