Makes me think of a current superpower which committed multiple genocides against a native population, enslaved and represses to this day ethnic minorities, is in perpetual undeclared war with oil-producing countries, purposefully infected

This is a curious comment in that the West set up apartheid in the first place. Millions of Africans suffered under it and thousands died in the struggle to overthrow it. The role that external condemnation from western countries played, if

I think this is one of the great side tragedies of the coronavirus. The US generally had a lot of trust in these federal agencies. They've always been susceptible to political interference, as demonstrated now. But it's never (?)

The article you linked to said the shipment came from India... Either way, this is a legitimate concern that's happened in scrap metal processing all over the world: https://web.archive.org/web/20060614013429/

How did a private company deciding to regulate speech, become a strawman about how all government is violence?

You are asserting that no public statement by a Chinese person can be trusted, how is that not racist
637.
by wonnage 6y ago
This is an exasperating bit of casual racism I see all the time. A Chinese person has said something you disagree with, they must have no personal agency, they must be trying to curry favor with the government! the CPC is not Santa Claus, f

it seems like your version of CPC is mostly interested in killing their own citizens; where's the harm to the US?

It looks like the account was reinstated: https://twitter.com/ZhouFengSuo/status/1270828746589769732?s... My guess is that they were under pressure to close all the accounts in the meeting, backpedaled after the a

You wrote a lot of text but missed the central point. Cameras that can capture dark skin exist. This is a problem that human researchers just shrugged off or ignored. You might say well, can't do anything about it, our training corpus

We absolutely rely on people to act ethically even with incentive systems. Every incentive system is prone to abuse. Also, people are motivated by different incentives. These often boil down to their own ethical/moral values.

I think it was also a forcing function for a lot of modern development patterns. Bundlers, sourcemaps, even chrome's prettyprint, all became mainstream around the time coffeescript was relevant (~2011?) I think they all existed before

I personally had the most trouble with regexes because I didn't have a good mental model of how they worked. The hard part wasn't finding the correct symbol/character class I was trying to match, but coming to grips with repe

Roughly 25% of males in the US 35-44 had hypertension in 2010, and this grows to over 50% by 55-64, an age I don't think anyone would consider especially old: https://www.heart.org/idc/groups/heart-public&#x2F

Everyone can learn to solve equations quickly if they’re forced to do it 1000 times. They might forget it the day after the test, the might not know why they’re doing anything, but you can be damn certain you know what you’re doing if just

How does this make any sense? China is not price gouging on PPE, at least not to the point where this guy's factory pricing is competitive

So basically he's a businessman who couldn't figure out how to meet a sudden demand for his product, and his solution is to just ignore it this time.

Another way to frame the situation: America is in dire need of surgical masks, and its top manufacturer is more interested in martyring themselves than to help out. It seems like this is what the Defense Production Act is for? It's not

I want to print and frame this comment. I think everyone is aware that America has a couple of structural issues that have existed and slowly gotten worse over the last decades. For example, the cost of healthcare and education keeps rising

It's fine, that extra 1/3 is just going to healthcare anyway

This is a common misconception. The virus doesn’t arrive as individual viruses. If it were purely a matter of filtering 100nm particles, a n95 mask wouldn’t be very effective either - the ratings are for particles 0.3um or larger. Luckily,

I got sent down a rabbithole of searching by this article too, apparently the doctor wrote an autobiography (in English!) in 1959 that was republished as recently as 2014, but apparently the only way to get ahold of it here is to have it sh

I think you're projecting, this was cut in the name of balancing the budget by decreasing costs (albeit to help meet a massive budget deficit) if you read the article.

Usually the best method is to take two dumps and diff them. Just because something shows up big in a heap dump doesn't mean it's a leak, it needs to be big and continually growing.
