What is tomorrow I decide to build a new social app that becomes a blockbuster - and then a minority group that hates the caste I come from, wants to promote their anti-my-caste views there?
Am I going to be obligated to allow them to do so?
Or is it my private property right to say that I am not compelled to publish your hateful perspectives or views, thank you very much?
As another illuminative poster above noted, it increases the “victimhood” and “specialness” that Parler participants feel. They want to interpret this in fully combative terms.
It’s quite scary how they see the world through such a lens. I feel Apple and Google performed the lesser of two evils here. Only time will tell though.
I would have replied to your interview question: “Check the Devtools” and you would have penalised me for not rote-memorising some arbitrary latency measure.
And I would have been glad to not be working at a company like yours :)
It’s possible there are other forces at work here. Tencent is an owner in Epic Games/Fortnite.
This may be a show of demonstrating their importance/reach to consumers, to proactively make Trump and the US government afraid of going after them to divest assets.
Yet I still hope Trump forces them to divest assets. And I’m dumbfounded how anyone here could care to stand for Epic Games with their association to the CCP.
Actually, quite a number of places around the world still engage in healthier politics than America. Want to know why America suffers so much from such partisanship and extreme ideologies?
It’s your non-mandatory voting.
Don’t blame the internet, which serves other countries well. Blame your special political system for incentivising the rise of extremes over the rise of politicians who “have” to care about the majority.
To date, have you observed any other countries and governments undertesting? And if so, was it for reasons other than the Olympics?
That gives you a baseline of disincentives to report.
Now extend:
- what would the cost (financial, reputational, etc) be to Japan the government if the Olympics do not go ahead?
- might there be other disincentives for Japan to undertest relative to its neighbours?
Also recall, in some cases a little bit of disincentive mixed with poor planning/incompetence leads to a lot of unplanned underreporting :)
The trick in all cases is to look for a metric that governments have not thought to obscure/or cannot control that strongly signal the thing you’re trying to verify.
1. The data is accurate and captures all coronavirus cases.
2. The data is not accurate and does not capture all coronavirus cases.
I read the entirety of this thread as though HN assumes only 1 is possible. If 1 is correct, then HN’s inferences sound reasonable (habitual mask use, practiced social distancing).
But what if 2 is correct? Is there any disincentive for governments to accurately test and capture all cases? Is there any particularly outsized disincentive for Japan to do so?
I leave the above questions as an exercise for the reader.
Facebook offers an opinionated, production ready, battle tested framework for bootstrapping a modern React application with tooling/batteries included (with dependencies automatically maintained if you need to version bump to latest via react-scripts as a magical dependency).
Unless you’re doing something so completely customised (and even then, ejecting from CRA is a blessed path), why WOULND’T you use CRA?
An interesting technical explanation for why brokers ALSO had an incentive to block buy-action...
...doesn’t mean they couldn’t have also had other incentives/pressures.
