Honestly I've noticed this with political content on Instagram. Random bugs occur where I can't post, or can't comment or repost, and it's usually posts that aren't in line with US foreign policy on Gaza, Lebanon, Venezuela, etc. I'll go about fine looking at normal stuff, memes, etc but whenever some big geopolitical event occurs is usually when I hit those bugs on IG. I probably experienced more bugs post 10/7 then my entire history using the app prior. Also had lots of posts removed that I contested and won later but it doesn't matter if the moments already passed and that wave of information was repressed on the algorithm.
Funny how all the people contesting other adjacent comments are noticeably absent here. It's silly in the first place, given the US government and Israeli officials were very clear in their bluntly stated aims with the tiktok take over, what we're seeing now is just the execution of clearly stated intentions, too many ideologues are in denial.
Exactly how I read it, this reeks of the war drive toward China, nonsensical predictions and comical red scare portrayals, "legions of ccp spies". Just in time for the new McCarthyism rolling out.
I've thought about building something like this as a laptop replacement (small compute for xreal style display) and making sure there's a new thunderbolt port etc for a GPU dock, but I think the simpler option (with some latency / network requirements) is to use an xreal display with the cell phone you already carry in your pocket and sunshine / moonlight enabled with your desktop setup at home.
Comments like the one above do not belong here at all, it's childish, it brings absolutely 0 value to readers, and it's against the guidelines because it degrades the quality of HN for everyone.
Leninism doesn't quite depart from Marxism really, Lenin expanded upon Marx's ideas and applied them to the evolving material conditions of Tsarist Russia. In a manner of speaking he departed with Marx in the way that Marx thought revolution would occur in developed industrialized nations like Germany and France and not rural agrarian societies like Tsarist Russia. Another thing to note is a lot of what Lenin wrote was scathing and sort of exaggerated polemics against others who he often worked alongside strategically, but argued with for the purpose of directing the course of action correctly. His ideas, the conditions and people he was responding to, evolved over time as well, so it's very important to understand those contexts going in, and this book does an excellent job of synthesizing and condensing some of that well:

Also Akida Toyoda made $6.9m last year, and Toyota is larger than any of the US companies by a wide margin in every metric, while bringing in more net income. How do these US CEO's calculate their worth as 5x as much for smaller less profitable companies? It's avarice clear as day.
The costs of goods will increase regardless of labor cost as they have already. The issue lies in the contradiction between relatively stagnant wages and the rising cost of goods/housing/etc which naturally develops into labor organizing.
A better question to ask is what will happen when a larger portion of the profit that these workers created now flows back into their communities?
Workers spend their money at family run business, and small to medium size businesses in their community and contribute to the local economy. The economic implications of this effort are not just beneficial for the 150,000 UAW workers but their communities and local economies as well.
In contrast the board members who are reaping those profits are not spending money in those communities. Even if they theoretically lived in the same communities and frequented the same businesses they would not buy anywhere close to the same quantity of goods and services that the 150,000 uaw workers would with those same profits.
There's been plenty of war, and it could well be the first step on a path to the end of life on earth. I imagine this belief stems from all the "Hiroshima and Nagasaki were necessary/good" propaganda.
- "A whole military complex devoted to war with you"
This is peak western propaganda.
We literally have a massive naval presence conducting the world's largest military exercises off their coast, practicing invading them in the South China Sea and ROK - a state that wouldn't exist had we not invaded china's ally the DPRK, leveling their cities, killing 1/5 the population, installing a dictator, and maintaining full operational control of their military in the event that we decide to invade them again or invade China.
On top of that we've got tons of strategic military installations surrounding them, we even spent trillions and sent our people to die for more strategic advantage in Afghanistan. The US has shown that we're the real aggressors time and time again with the media's constant hostile rhetoric, and the very real military conquests we've conducted around the world, killing millions, overthrowing or assassinating democratically elected leaders, and installing dictators in countless nations across the globe.
Swap the names for 10 seconds, substitute Korea for Mexico, China has fleets in the Caribbean and bases in Canada, they conduct the world's largest exercise in the gulf practicing how to war with and invade the US, they've successfully toppled countless governments and popular uprisings. And now they're saying your weather balloon is a spy balloon and your country's military is devoted to war with them.
Look at the historical context, and you'll realize how hypocritical and obvious the US's hostility, fear mongering, and propaganda towards China is. It's seriously the same rinse and repeat recipe we've used for every one of our thinly veiled imperialist conquests.
Yeah the only reason "buy well, buy once" needs to be said is because production has been consumed by corner-cutting and planned obsolescence to serve capitalists and keep us on the hamster wheel spending our measly cut on the latest disposable.
It falls under the supervision of the coastguard apparently as a boat "that happens to fly". Not sure how they were able to swing that one, but it's pretty impressive.
I know uutils/core-utils uses the old tests, which makes sense, that way you cover most of the intentional behavior. A more comprehensive method could be to generate a comprehensive set of random scripts with a capable LLM like GPT4 in identical vm's with the 2 different binaries and then log/diff each scripts behavior.
I'd also bet most degree holding SWE's or engineers in the US in general have probably never worked a day in any form of service or physical labor, and likely have few close friends working non-degree jobs. I've run into dozens whose privilege is visible from a mile away with 0 sympathy or understanding of the material conditions of the rest of the US.
Ehhh I'd argue they had more in common with socialists/communists, they were literally destroying the means of production in worker solidarity to improve their condition and bargaining ability. Marx even refers directly to the situation of the guilds in industrialization.
The belief is that new means of production should be embraced, owned, and operated by workers to benefit the many and not just the few exploitative capitalists (which are those who own means of production).
Instead of exploiting lay-offs and long shifts, and disregarding safety to save the capitalist money, the factory would instead be built and operated for the benefit of workers and society, prioritizing safety and sharing shorter shifts among a larger workforce to preserve jobs.
From a socialist/communist perspective machine taxes and UBI are like cheap bribes to avoid the issue and preserve the exploitative system in place. The luddites probably would have felt the same had they been offered a pity sum or machine tax from factory owners to "offset" their condition.
Yeah last year my inbox was flooded with recruiters, but I had a rough round of technical interviews back to back and succumbed to imposter syndrome. I postponed interviewing to learn and prep and try to add more to my resume.
Now a year later, I'm trying for a new job again and I hardly hear from recruiters, and I actually have to apply for jobs. It's a huge contrast from this time last year and it makes me regret waiting.
Side Note:
Having seen other coworkers move on and knowing what I know now, I've realized I was more than ready to get a new job a year ago, I just lacked the confidence to keep trying. Hopefully this serves to motivate others paralyzed by imposter syndrome.
