IMO the internet post-2010ish is inferior to the one before in theory. Early creators were thoughtful, they created protocols foreseeing a lot of these problems. I'm not sure what's gonna happen next but the parallel universe I&#x

Happened to me, there goes some of my old documents that I couldn't find in other backup locations. Appears it's possible Google would unblock it after 7-days, still terrible when I need the documents the most. Think it is interes

That breaks down when you try to think like a content creator, nowadays everyone talks about UX, I'd say the styling has at least equal weight in terms of communicating ideas. (net negative if the document is shown without it applied,

Feels like a real game to me, I spent good 15 minutes trying to clear the remaining 2 blocks, which is supposedly an impossible state. Turns out when you hold space you randomly lose blocks to the void so you can shift it back to multiplies

Saw this comment before I slept and I think I woke up with a solution! The problem is incentive based, cancelling others gains one social power. So the solution is simple, use the same weapon, and we are getting at step 1 already. 1) Being

Speech is a behavior, it could be unpleasant, it could hurt, and it is also dangerous. The reason free speech being cherished is because limiting it brings upon cons much out weight the pros. In particular you block the escape hatch of a de

I agree the application should not have done this. On the other hand I also agree indefinite block time is not a useful definition despite being correct in theory, perhaps a more pragmatic one would be some time / compute unit percenti

> Without systems that promote quality, non-ideological, nuanced, original, tolerant dialogue we will keep running into the false dilemma of unmoderated cess pools or heavy handed moderation. I disagree tying big tech censorship to this.

As a Hongkonger, I see some similarities of culture between Hong Kong and China, but the differences are materially stronger, even more so than when you compare some countries in Europe. I can give one distinct example. Our people's de

This is not thought experiment, it is straw man. Here's my thought experiment, they told you studies shows that vaccination is safe, you point out there happened to be a case after injecting a person died. In some places people categor

Learned a lot from this and related pages, thanks a lot. It is one of the best hack I've ever seen, ever. Although as others have pointed out I wouldn't consider it exactly elegant (IIUC basically shell script to morph it on first

Quick scrolling through the comments, I wonder how many people actually RTFA? Looking at the list of things they collect, how could it possibly be legitimate, or compared to what "western" or any other companies are doing? - F

> "on a long enough timeline, every cell is a cancer cell." So does that mean for the off chance we live long enough for aging reversal to be developed and affordable we'd still die of cancer? :)

Compared to never been there, it's particularly painful because it's a regression from a fairly just, rather first-world system. As a HKese I had the luxury to spend time on little things that make me happy in my teenage just like

6 years ago I was trying to setup GitLab CI. From memory, it was a bad experience since there were missing or incorrect pieces of crucial information. At the end they were figured out but if the status quo is still the same I believe it wou

Another way to look at it, I get a lower trust score to people holding pro-China view because such disinformation campaign is rampant. It is in a way a social punishment that disincentivize such underhanded technique. Does your good faith m

These days CCP's action is getting less free. With Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and friends around the town it's no longer the cheapest labor to the point of being able to ignore the world's value. There's a price to be l

Because we don't have an army, so naturally power flows to pro-beijing camps. In this game you win by being pro-beijing. ANd there's the effect of diffusion. There's already news on the LegCo security team having to proclaim

Exactly, there're many reasons for it to run slow. If yours is still usable it's unlikely, mine takes minutes to boot up, and it shuts itself down. It's been a while and I got rid of it but IIRC it still provided power but wa

Even if you don't install any GApps, Android would still ping Google servers. I can't remember exactly since it was a while ago, but IIRC it was some hardcoded NTP server. Not much but still a heartbeat per GeoIP.
