Wtf is going on at Github? They're having outages almost every other day. August had 11 incidents it seems. September already has 3. https://www.githubstatus.com/history

It seems lately Github is having constant issues, especially with Actions, Webhooks, and Pull Requests. How are people handling this? At what point does self hosting become prefera…

Americans always love tying things back to attacking China.

What evidence is there of sterilization that’s not coming from Falun Gong? I don’t find those cultists to be any more of a legitimate source than Scientology. They have pretty insa…

You're not wrong, but arresting people for possession doesn't help them either. And I can definitely tell you drugs aren't hard to find as it is.

The U.S. military is the largest terrorist organization in the world. Everyone has an interest in people not enlisting, Americans included.

Reaganonmics has been a disaster for my generation.

Another example of capitalism tending towards monopoly.

> no rights This is not true. > Uyghur genocide This is a lie being spread by far right fundamentalist Adrien Zenz that the U.S. media had eaten up.

This is what is known as "anarchy of production" which is a key feature of capitalism. A global crisis like this is not compatible with our existing economic systems.

Markets are basically anarchy... there are countless examples of markets inefficiently allocating resources (homes, for one). Not sure I buy this.

Teachers unions are definitely not a net negative...

The U.S. has 22% of the worlds prisoners, despite only having 4% of the population, if you really wanna talk about prison.

Could the U.S. govt not subpoena a U.S. company for information, giving them the same power people are worried about China having?

My father made this argument to me, almost verbatim. It's definitely out there.

Yup!

Why doesn't the government pass laws preventing this, instead of banning one particular app?

Congress should pass laws in retaliation then, not the President.

The solution would be to pass a law akin to the GDPR then. There is no need to go through executive action. The U.S. is not supposed to be authoritarian like China is.

State and Revolution is where I'd recommend people start for ML ;)

Check out Bolivia, Honduras, and the failed attempt at Venezuela for some more recent examples within the last 15 years.

This is simply not true. Looking at the three mainstream cable channels (Fox, CNN, MSNBC) Fox hardly ever critical, MSNBC is almost exclusively critical, and CNN is pretty in betwe…

This comment is not explemifying the problem, as you put it. It's pointing out the hypocrisy of this author for condemning something she engages in herself, without taking any blam…

Yeah, this letter she wrote is a joke.

Ah, good. More echo chambers.
