You don't know them well enough. A random poll of any mainland Chinese population short of those on the periphery currently being persecuted, I guarantee you they either support what the Chinese gov is doing to the Uyghurs or pretend t

The sentence "The passive voice is overused." illustrates this tension well. When you omit the subject, (implicitly we all know who that sentence is referring to), passive voice is more concise, but it's not clearer. It'

No, in that example, the TA is very misguided and clearly didn't understand what passive voice is. Passive voice only applies to verbs, and it's often used to invert the object and the subject, occasionally used to emphasis one ov

Yes that's true. That's why most languages have infix operators and prefix function calls.

by wyuenho 6y ago
Complete English sentences in present tense are infix, with the subject and object clearly stated. Implicit subjects only follow after the first sentence in a paragraph or a phrase. Case in point is the words you've read so far. "

I'm sorry but this "feature" is yet another design a hacker living in a bubble came up with. Most people think and program in English, or languages very close to English. In English I can read let x be 4ys and some change. I

This problem is so endemic for so many years now, I wonder why the browser devtools have options to turn off caching but not option to turn on the scroll bar during dev mode.

TSMC has fabs in Washington and they are going to open another one in Arizona. They also have a bunch of design centers in the US, so no. The strategic planners have thought of all of these things way ahead of you.

Signal's disappearing messages will appear on your other devices such as the desktop app long after disappearing on the phone, and you still get group message asking if you'd like to join back the group you just left. Imagine thes

Good point. I think a better description is both the phone number and the username are tied to the account, and you can change both at will. There are enough privacy settings in Telegram that can effectively turn off having your phone numbe

The only usable tool for any organization of resistance is Telegram. Anything else is garbage. Here's why: Bluetooth/Mesh based local broadcast apps such as FireChat and Bridgfy are literally extreme low signal to noise streams of

People have been warning about BSafe and Dual_EC_DRBG for years before Snowden came along. Privacy advocates and security professionals had been placing out a blanket warning of "government" snooping for decades before Snowden. Ri

Huawei's contribution to 5G is probably overstated. Looking at the 3GPP rapporteur roster, a lot of work is done by Qualcomm engineers with Chinese names. This is why immigration is so important to the US in order to attract the best t

I strongly advise you to look into the Needham Question. China could have industrialized a millennium ago, and yet it hadn't until around 50 years ago. Insulating one from knowledge can have tremendous effect on growth for centuries. A

People suspected the NSA were snooping and introducing backdoors and proactively places countermeasures against that. Why should the standard be different when it comes to China?

They view it as a success and have double down on it, while the rest of the world continued to feed them knowledge free minds across continents spent centuries to accumulate. In short, they only took the useful bits to strengthen the govern

This has been known for decades, companies knew, and the way they dealt with this was to only give China obsolete tech or tech about to get out of date, so they didn't care. That's no longer the case as China is catching up fast a

I think they've ran out of them a long time ago. I requested a non-ZTE that support 5Ghz last year. They didn't have any and they said they weren't ordering them anymore. Those Tilgin are probably old stock.
