Ya, leverage monopoly to push their own "supported" browser.

> How about we simply ban Google and Facebook from reproducing news on their own site?

News Corp is and always has been free to not have its content on Google (https://www.robotstxt.org/). But that's not what they want, they want a Money just for appearing in search results. Seems more like a rent seeking for News Corp.

> We're bending over backwards to try and accommodate Google

The funny/bizzare bit is we are bending over backwards to accommodate 2 multinational American corporate monopolies that don't even pay tax in this country.

i am not familiar with the specifics of this case but native title does not grant the holder a veto over mining development.

Unfortunately AMD doesn't really compete in the machine learning space. Hopefully one day ROCm will offer a viable alternative but until then we are pretty much captive.

Thanks Nvidia. There is little Linux can do with out sacrificing a lot (principles and technical).

It's a pita, _hopefully_ one day AMD and ROCm will be a viable alternative.

My understanding is that 共匪 (communist bandit) is a historical KMT slur against the CCP and rarely used in contemporary speech. So i'm struggling to see how there would be enough organic use of the phrase to be flagged autmatically. But maybe the bots flagging it were also the bots posting it, or posting porn/covid conspiracy content with it...

Because the infection rate is so high.

Got my Bachelors from Charles Sturt University. 100% online (not counting the 1 networking elective i took that had a 2day school playing with network gear, and international study tour i took in China for a couple weeks).

You have to sit exams in person at the end of each semester. There are exam centres all around the world https://exams.csu.edu.au/dist_students/centrelist.php?intern...

we have eink bus timetables in sydney and the clearway/no parking signs that change for special events... pretty nifty.

that said, you have a point, if tec was from china and/or was more open it would be everywhere.

Make products and sell them

yes, pre-paid or plan.

prepaid = go to quick-e-mart and by recharge/credit when needed. plan = set up payment details through web portal or over the phone.

And you move into higher tax brackets so take home a smaller fraction.

I'm starting to see it as a loss, the additional time I may put in as overtime is subtracted from time I have for side projects and learning that is far more important to my career (as well as metal / physical health).

The near daily feed is reminiscent of the propaganda campaign in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq.

jump across the pond :)

If you are going to eat red meat go Kangaroo, it's healthy and sustainable.

There are a million articles on the internet arguing either way. I would start with this one for an interesting angle: https://theconversation.com/from-pests-to-profits-making-kan...

If it was a genuine "backdoor" why would you want use a publicly available key?

aspi is funded by us arms manufacturers and regularly tweet red scare bollocks (eg https://twitter.com/ASPI_ICPC/status/1123367929985286144).

i'm not saying aspi is completely full of it or that there isn't a problem with communist party influence. but aspi is most def aligned to security establishment and hardly impartial.

whats with the flip.it url? it just redirects to short quartz article.

that pretty disappointing, i would expect a bit better from HP.

is it a consumer grade or corporate model?

at that price i don't think punters are the target demographic.

if your build target is an arm environment (industrial, embeded?) or you are a uni teaching/researching arm isa, then i imagine it would be a pretty nice bit of kit.

anyone know the date on that article?

there seems to be a spate of similar articles based on the greenpeace/sieara club satellite photo analysis report from september last year.

has any of it been confirmed?

edit: think this is the report ~> https://endcoal.org/global-coal-plant-tracker/reports/boom-a...

This can depend on how you access to Internet. In my experience a Hong Kong travel SIM is best as everything will be pretty efficiently routed via honkers and uncensored. My home country SIM sucked as everything was routed back to my home country which is an awful round trip if you are trying to access a mainland site or service. If you are on a mainland travel SIM local services should be on par with what you use in the west and a good VPN should be pretty fast (especially if your gateway is honker).

> Get a host with CN2. I heard hosting in Hong Kong is fast too.

Tested Alibaba Cloud in honkers from Shenzhen and Guangzhou late last year for a couple weeks as a Shadow Socks host. Worked really well, <10milsec ping.

That said, its not day to day that i've had probs with Honker <~> Mainland traffic. It's the seemingly random network performance degradation that bites.

hmm, option 3 looks interesting. i would need to test it to have confidence in it (especially over problematic periods like golden week), but having your server in honkers is a big plus over the other side.

we moved everything we could to a mainland provider, generally there are good alternatives and cdn's for common stuff. what keeps biting is our tracking and re-conversion scripts that our marketing team insists on.

if there is anything remotely dynamic in your app go with option 2.

i've mainland proxied and cached the hell out of everything i can, warm the caches daily, but once the user starts interacting (eg search) then hitting our servers really bites randomly. usually not so bad for honkers server, but even that route can randomly drop off the face of the planet.

Few are denying that the Chinese Government spys, vacuums up as much data as possible and generally should not be trusted.

But the specific allegations raised in the "The Big Hack" appear to be without basis.

In my mind it looks more like "Weapons of Mass Destruction" BS that once saturated the media.

arr. strait over my head.

> ... Singapore were clear pirate hubs that were harmful to any IP based economy.

That's an absurd and factually incorrect statement.
