There are limited record of edit history of ViolendMonkey's privacy policy [0] that I can locate, so don't know if it's true in the past, but I don't see this statement in ViolentMonkey privacy policy now [1].

It's literally just a 2D whiteboard though. You don't get more features than a physical whiteboard.

We need to let Japan know that this is not their fault.

It's ingrained in Japanese culture that they often put too much pressure on themselves. They might think if they had put extra 120% effort, the Olympics would have gone as scheduled. But this is not on them.

Although it's only speculation, we wouldn't want another case of heartbreaking suicide[0] because of a Japanese blaming himself/herself too much.

I would also love to code with a screen that doesn't emit light. However, I don't know of any e-ink like display that has fast enough refresh rate to enable the instant typing feedback that we are used to, especially now that we have hot reload.

The top has absolute power over the workers. This is the result of greed and extreme capitalism.

The reason to justify employers/share holders getting paid so much more than workers should be that they take so much more and higher risks.

Now we have it backwards. When business is profitable the top takes all the bonus and dividends. During downtime however, workers get to swallow all the loss.

Depends a lot on the business.

If the company is hiring a junior to build a CRUD app, or even Uber for XXX, a degree wouldn't affect much.

If the company is a business intelligence solution house, a degree may be just an entry ticket.

A vibrant community helps retain and acquire talent. And that said sum is but a small amount for Apple.

Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple, all host annual developer-focused conference. Among them Apple is the only one that doesn't have a livestream platform.

But to be fair though the rest are not all streaming their own event on their own platform.

Agree. For me although it's not great as of now, it's already a huge improvement. I have confidence about my actions now. Notifications can be located and managed more easily.

It's good enough now for me. I hope they look into Gist next. So many missed opportunities there. Head over to Show HN and you'll find code snippet management softwares there from time to time. Almost all problems they are trying to tackle can be solved by a better GitHub Gist.

It's just sad that when we point out the obvious, the pro-dictatorship camp just dismisses it by saying "don't politicize science". But this data is in fact the result of politicized science.

By bootlicking China, WHO is just expensing her own credibility. Many no longer follow the authority of WHO. For example, many countries started restricting travel from China[0] to give themselves more time to prepare when WHO opposed it[1]. Experts had long questioned WHO's decision to refuse to declare it a pandemic[2], before WHO's late announcement yesterday.

There are some efforts to stop the ripple of this China political power play, particularly by Taiwanese and Hong Kongers[3]. We should all be more alert.

I find it very interesting that, according to my own brief observation, almost the opposite situation is happening in China.

In China the dominant food delivery platforms are ele.me and meituan. The food offered there are not marked-up so ridiculously compared to dining in.

As far as I understand, this is because

1. The demand is huge. People prefer food delivery, especially for lunch, to save time to either play mobile games, or squeeze more hours for work. Another reason is much more choices are available online than say within 10 minute commute.

2. Due to 1, food preparation is often moved to backstreet or upstairs where rent is significantly lower.

3. Due to 2, many sketchy food providers on the platforms are not actually restaurants. So, they don't have to bare the cost of regulation compliance like license or hygiene standards.

If what you mean is those words are lengthy and repeated, that's actually how chinese officials talk and write.

Pardon my lack of economics knowledge. They may be able to keep the stock afloat for a few days, then what's next? Where will the money eventually go?

How can this help when economic activities halt?

And to add to that, domain experts who will work on this information are probably used to obtaining new knowledge reading email newsletters. They'll be fine.

Think of it this way:

They launch with near absolute MVP. Design is not the priority here; the information is. When it comes to dealing with a pandemic, every minute counts.

The default theme is a sign that someone who knows software and project management is working on it.

Yes I think so.

In China, you see foreign people on billboards and TV ads all the time, especially ads of luxury products. Chinese people, deep down, don't really trust Chinese.

Having foreign people to side with Ms. Meng is a tactic to buy credibility to make her look innocent and just. The nature is no different than other white monkey jobs (I don't have any racist intention) in China.

The logical fallacy[0] here is so obvious that to people who can reason, it's a joke.

Their goal is to divert the discussion and trick people without a clear mind. If we follow through their argument, or even let them trigger any emotion in us, they win. So the best reaction is to give no attention to them, such that this kind of argument sinks to the bottom.

For real, is the circumstance really like this even for foreign companies in Japan?

Surprise surprise, he has 3 million yuans to be fined.

Had he given more of those to the government officials and/or jurisdiction, he wouldn't even have to face the charges in the first place.

Have you seen what VR card game is like? e.g. Skyworld: Kingdom Brawl https://youtu.be/Gd06C6le-2c

I don't think VR card game is a waste of VR. It's just very different from traditional card games.

A bit disappointed it still sports an LCD screen, although expected.

I guess LED screen is left for the next iteration of innovation.

Your "argument" ignores the ridiculousness of China's nine dash line altogether. If we just let China continue to do what it does, civilization will continue to deteriorate.

Well it's getting less awful at least

Language is just a tool. It's important to know which tool is best for which task. After identifying which language to use, picking up a language usually just takes a day or two max. Memorizing is definitely not a necessity, but is a side-effect when you continuously work using a language for more than a few days.

Agree. But the tricky part is that it requires us to overcome our greed.

And we also have to abandon 1.3 billion people in the process. For example, people in North Korea are starving[0]. It's just we don't pay much attention to it. Is this evil necessary?

Will probably be downvoted to oblivion:

This incident is a perfect example showing why embracing China and hoping they would be more open to modern values like freedom of speech, democracy, etc., is a total illusion.

Too many Chinese people are brainwashed to the core that even if the great firewall is switched off today, nothing will change. The currently brainwashed people simply despise anything against Chinese official rhetoric; they don't put any thoughts to follow other people's reasons. And this brainwashing will pass on from one generation to the next.

I've met too many mainland Chinese use only Baidu to search, use only WeChat to do messaging, read only Weibo and watch only CCTV to update themselves on current affairs, even when they are physically outside of China. Sure there are still some reasonable Chinese, but 9.9 times out of 10 they are very reluctant to speak up, since they still have some stakes in China. If they do speak up, their family back in China will get locked up, harrased, wealth get taken, you name it. It happens all the time.

That's why powerful external force is necessary for China to change. And if we don't force China to change, China will erode the rest of the world's modern values, which is the foundation of our civilization. China's export of oppression, like recent news about NBA and Apple, has been actually on-going for a very long time. In Hong Kong here, we see it all the time all around us.

If Google could tap into fitbit's data, they could implement some headline features to rival Apple watch's fall detection.

Sleep tracking is another area in which fitbit is one of the best, if not the best among peers.

When did that happen? Assuming we are not talking about Azure China.

Using cloud services saves a business from having to have a whole vertical stack of expertise in house. And for banks, these infrastructure engineers have to be available 24*7.

For many companies, hiring and talent retention is a problem. There are some risks that are not as superficial as dollar signs on the balance sheet.
