Interesting, I thought performance was lower than zen 1. I wonder if they'll ever catch up


DJI is a global drone company and they're popular in Japan as well for agricultural drones . I recall the head of the American branch Colin Guuin, wanted more share and control of the company and they booted him out and he started his own drone company which is not doing so well


I mean, we went after Assange and Snowden who are in a gray area. Jimmy Lai actually went to top US officials and advocated military assistance to coup the government. No nation would ever go easy on that and it's scary to see all these comments on HN are mindlessly chanting without actually more research


Hong Kongers would very much like to choose their own leadership. I understand that you're arguing from a mainland Chinese perspective, but in so doing you're ignoring the people who ought to have the most to say.


I used to have your viewpoint, but after reading Lee Kuan Yew, and after several hours of cross referencing various interviews with the pro-rioters/hk democracy, and pro-engagement/neutral hongkongers, I conclude that most of the pro-rioters like Joshua Wong/Jimmy Lai at large fail to articulate anything of value other than "I want to turn the system upside-down" , while pro-engagement/neutral people know they want upward social mobility and more government involvement in fixing the housing and employment crisis.


Good for you. But I didn't refer to any specific pro-democracy figure. I am advocating for free and open elections where everyone, pro-mainland or localist, can choose the direction of the city.


America doesn't speak for Hong Kong and many people don't want America sticking its nose deep into their business especially through someone breaking the law by acting as a pseudo-foreign agent.

The irony is that Trump getting involved in pressuring for the release of Jimmy Lai just makes him look even more like an American asset.


That's the tragedy of Hong Kong. They never got the sympathy of the mainland.

And I cannot escape the feeling that a lot of Americans believe that a democratic China would be friends with the US...


Who exactly is "friends" with the US at the moment? Maybe Israel?

In Trumps world it mostly seems you are either an asset or a liability. They do no want a multipolar world.


Who brought up America?


> advocated military assistance to coup the government

Is there source evidence for this? I keep hearing various different things Jimmy supposedly advocated or asked for, but very little actual source.

Sidenote: The riots went too out of control and one of em threw a brick which hit an old street cleaners head.

You claimed he urged top US officials to give military assistance to a coup. This video is just him pleading to the US public "They'll listen to you because you're as powerful as they are".


What was the name of the class?


It's likely following HTDP:

It could be following PLAI:

But that's not normally run as an introductory course, which is what OP mentioned Racket being used for.


Might have been Waterloo's Introduction to Functional Programming (CS 135). I have TA'd (technically ISA'd) that course several times and helped countless students in office hours. The struggling students didn't just hate Racket, they hated the whole HTDP philosophy of following a "design recipe" and writing documentation prior to implementing a function. Most of those struggling students essentially waited till the last minute to do the documentation, completely flouting the intention of the course.

I don't know if the strong students had the intended approach since they were never in office hours asking for help!


I loved that course so much. I remember some seemed to hate it because "when are we ever going to use Scheme in real life?"


I really loved the course too. That's why I kept working for it! It always made me sad when students hated the course, which was most of the ones I met in office hours. I think the students who really loved the course did well enough that they didn't come to office hours, so I never met them!


Waterloo’s CS135! I’m in it right now.


Don't Chinese FULLY own nexperia though? And I don't think bots would have their name highlighted in green and write on a fringe website compared to reddit or youtube


Not unique to China. Japan also withheld critical semiconductor materials from Korea due to Korea not backing down on historical disputes in 2019 https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/23/japan-south-korea-dispute-im...


I don't think unity was as polished when braid came out in ~2008 that can also easily rewind time on low end Xbox hardware. The witness maybe in unreal? But there are some wild things there I've never seen an unreal game do that the witness does do


They actually reuse Linux driver stack for hardware compatibility


I recall brunp from CATL/Robin Zeng in China said this: > recovery rate of over 90% for lithium and 99% for nickel, cobalt and manganese.

So its nice the US has a competitor here


Thousands is quite the exaggeration when there are only 379 on ffmpeg github. If you look through them, its actually 5-10% if not less


Another way to frame this is that even though the FFmpeg repository clearly indicates it's a mirror repository and has had a single open pull request titled "WARNING: PULL REQUESTS ON THIS REPOSITORY ARE IGNORED" [0] sitting in the pull requests page for 10 years, they've still had to close hundreds of pull requests.

[0] https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pull/153


That’s fair, but it would be trivial to use GitHub’s actions/API (and probably just an existing open source tool in either case) to automatically close them without anyone wasting their time.

I think you’re definitely right that being a massive project on GitHub that accepts PRs there would be a nightmare though.
