200 out of 3500 is still not enough to care.
Prices are discovered on the margin, I wouldn’t be so sure. I believe university administrators do care, anyhow.

This could be a client setting, rather than forcing this preference on 400 million users because of where they live.
Yeah, that's not how laws are supposed to work. I find the use of the 451 status code almost offensive in this case. They're invoking one of the most famous literary treatments of censorship, when really what's happening is that the citizens of the EU are being protected from an assault on our human rights.
Please report any suspected collaborators with the Chinese secret police to the DEI campus safety board. All suspects will need to report to the DEI offices for re-education. Joking, but they literally do the exact same shit to Republicans.
I was a Republican. I was always pro choice. I was always skeptical of cops. I thought the Soviet Union and then the rump empire under Putin was dangerous. I never felt "oppressed" by standards of decency. Maybe it's not about being a Republican.

I did that so the latter could be pinned to the top of the thread without being offtopic.
It's a very weak response from Purdue. Zhihao Kong was bullied and followed around on campus for commemorating the victims of the Tiananmen masacre. He was called a CIA agent by fellow Purdue students and was reported to the Chinese state, who attempted to silence him by forcefully leaning on his family in Hong Kong. The identities of the bullies is well known and the extent of abuse is borderline criminal. There sho…
>reported to the Chinese state Chinese law requires Chinese citizens and companies to spy when asked. It's literally a law. https://www.canada.ca/en/security-intelligence-service/corpo...

I am French so I do care very much about privacy, just do not understand these blocks.

I personally haven't met anyone from China who has liked their government. I would assume there is some selection bias there and those that love their country are more likely to stay home, but would be really interested to talk to a true believer. I wouldn't be surprised if pressure was applied to those individuals to harass the one that spoke out against the party. The regime is brutal and most will toe the line whe…
If you want to talk to a true believer, go to reddit, on /r/sino. /r/china has the people critical to China, /r/sino has the pro-CCP crowd. As for similar subs I'd expect the threshold for getting banned to be fairly low, though.

As an European citizen, yes I am profoundly glad these effects exist. Error 418 means, to me, that the website is disappointed it cannot exploit my personal data without my consent. Good riddance.
Honest question: How do you feel about your (i)phone being a permanent cookie? It aggregates all your information. Is anything being prepared for that?

While the Taiwan situation isn't great, this seems a bit of a leap. It also completely disregards the reality of a situation like that. You can't just relocate cutting-edge industry and a population of more than 23 million.
