English aint Lojban, if you know what I mean.

Dmoz was great.

Propaganda by A to discredit B for its anti-propaganda campaign, which was in response to A's earlier propaganda campaigns.

Business As Usual. Yawn.

PS. Y'all intrinsically know that censorship is bad, which is why they use the word. Gets the blood pumpin', don't it?

Dynamic DNS is probably still required, unless his ISP issues dedicated or very long term IPv6 leases.

IPv6 may also "just work" nowadays, too, especially if the aim is to connect from mobile or other consumer networks. Corporate environments are still hit & mostly miss.

Looks more like a gremlin than a goblin. Silly AI.

I'm in one of those countries (no UBI experiments yet). We have worker's councils in large companies and unions, but there is still significant income and (more-so) wealth disparity. On the whole, this is one of those rare cases where the US has helped set-up a better and fairer system abroad than they have at home.

Perhaps the best thing that could happen to the world would be for the US to reform itself - healthcare first. I have bigger doubts here than China, though.

Until such time as they are truly working toward fair democracy and human rights at home and abroad, I think we need more bulkwards against US corporate interests (similar with other countries). Basing international trade purely on business interests and political whims doesn't seem ideal - perhaps we need more principle based international trade, with incentives to improve.

Ouch.

The Kubernetes ecosystem is full of tools and addons to help solve particular problems (often utilizing the dynamic nature of K8s), but each of these brings additional complexity, which add up over time until it's very hard to intuitively reason about the consequences of change.

I personally prefer my IaaC with a manual review & approval step. Once you get more automated, the testing complexity & cost (and need for additional dev/test environments), and of course risk increases.

It's a shame that the backup/restore testing didn't work in this case, though. These kind of TIFUs are better with a happy-ish end.

and will eventually give way to systems that are better focused on social equality.

That's one part that I'm not convinced about. I think it can and will happen in isolation, but whether it is stable in the long term and spreads to other countries is another.

One thing that I notice with the communist/socialism gang is that they often simultaneously have faith in the good of mankind and condemn all pro-capitalists and western politicians as evil. Reality is more nuanced, of course.

Anyway, I expect it will be the most robust political and economic systems that will survive and prosper. There are many big challenges (eg. climate change & competition for limited resources), as well as intentionally thrown spanners. Often it has been, and no doubt will continue to be, those who wield the biggest sticks that get to dictate or influence the rules.

My personal hope is that China walks peacefully forward toward a healthy form of socialism and is able to lead the world by example. I have my doubts, of course.

Thanks for the links. I've been reading. It is not far off my understanding. It's novel to me that anyone claims that the famine itself was deliberate. I've never heard anyone claiming that before.

Anyway, I noticed that https://lb.ua/news/2010/01/14/19793_nalivaychenko_nazval_kolichestvo_zh.html says 10 million, while https://hexbear.net/post/20004 links to it and claims it says 4 million. I guess the wayback machine should be checked.

My day was long, I'm tired, and there is more to read. I'll have to re-read your previous comments to find the Q that interests you.

Thanks for the quotable quote, but I didn't say nor imply that.

In that case, it was totally worth the deadliest famine in history. :-P
