I once needed to play three videos simultaneously to find an easter egg hidden in them. As I'm not familiar with video editing and don't have any professional tools, I ended up embedding three videos using a dozen of lines of HTML with basic controls and some dirty CSS tricks using devtools to uncover the message.

That's pretty fast for a beta released yesterday. Are the devs actively monitoring and reverse engineering every binary released that related to streaming? Also, where can I get the live studio executable? None of the links I found works, is that public release?

It is unclear whether the accounts are real employees, bots or trolls pretending to be Amazon Ambassadors.

Personally I would wait for more evidence to judge (which seems unlikely to happen). It's not so hard to operate a false flag on platforms like Twitter.

I think that's misinterpretd, the ref link in the paper is https://globalbiodefense.com/headlines/chinese-lab-that-firs... , which leads to SCMP's https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3052966/chin...

SCMP's piece also mentioned that "It also obtained the required credentials to conduct research on the coronavirus on January 24." That indicates the Centre actually gained more access.

And if you search Shanghai Public Health Clinical Centre on Google, you can see it's still actively doing COVID-19 related research. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar...

Because it makes no business sense to do so.

Apparently there are needs, that's why this guide even exists. Maybe not many but there are people willing to pay for better privacy/data protection.

But you are right, this won't generates continuous income, which is bummer for developers.

15. Later that day, on 12/12/2018 at approximately 4:00 p.m., Tan sent the following text message to his supervisor:

    ... [Another Company A supervisor] was asking if there is anything I have with me associated with company IP. I have a memory disk that contains lab data that I plan to write report on, and papers/reports I plan to read at home. Now that I have been exited from (COMP ANY A), can you check what is the best way of handling the information and how sensitive they are? Can I still read the papers/reports from the memory disk?
> 16. After receiving the above text from Tan, Tan's supervisor asked him to return the flash drive (which Tan's text message referred to as a "memory disk") to Company A.

17. At approximately 5:15 pm on 12/12/18, Tan returned to the Research Technology Center at Company A where he provided a USB flash drive to his supervisor. The USB flash drive was Tan's personal property, which he was not authorized to utilize within Company A's space. There is no record of Company A having issued a USB flash drive to Tan.

IMO, "Like" is just one of the ways for users to express themselves, you remove this tool, they'll find other ways, e.g., flood with one-word replies.

Account with huge number of followers that can block counter accounts could create an echo chamber, which is rather poisonous to a healthy debate.

That being said, I don't think twitter should be used as an debate platform, and there are some online tools trying to solve the problem already, like Kialo. They perhaps are not good enough, but still better than twitter.

If you want evidence, you should ask BBG for it first, who has provided none at the moment, even the picture they used is likely for illustration only, and they didn't make any declaration about that.

Technically possible doesn't mean it happened. You could be punched by your wife, does that mean she did punch you? Sorry for the inappropriate analogy, but you get the idea.

Personally speaking, I don't think Bing's result is worth paying for. I'd pay for Google's result without ads or being tracked or being collected. But there're already search engines like startpage (with ads), searx, etc, and they are free to use for now. I don't think pay for per query after exceeded the limit is going to work since users are used to unlimited queries.

Sorry, I used these lines a few years back, I'm using other styles now so I didn't know it stopped working.

You are right, it's not working.

Edit: OK, I know what's going on now, you need to add this to the code above:

    .comtr table {
        height: 100%;
    }

Actually you can use simple CSS with styling extensions like Stylus to achieve similar effect.

    .ind img {
        height: 100%;
        border-right: 3px solid red;
    }
If you want different color for different level of indent, just use attribute selector, like:
    .ind img {
        height: 100%;
        border-right: 3px solid;
    }
    img[width="40"] {
        border-color: red;
    }
    img[width="80"] {
        border-color: blue;
    }
  There was once a case to be made that it would be better overall for the Chinese populace to have improved access to most information, even if that meant accepting censorship over some information. But given the country's growing authoritarianism, that argument gets harder and harder to make
I don't quite understand such argument.

Besides, the Chinese government might not want Google to get back neither. I wonder if the author is going to change his mind once he realizes this. hehe

You don't have to serve the government.

If you refuse to serve Chinese people, that's another level of the story.

If you think serving people in China is somehow helping the government, you are somehow admitting the legitimacy of the government.

Is it ethical that doing business in Five Eye countries?

Is providing tools/services to the people considered unethical comparing to providing none?

What about free services that everyone including the Chinese can access via Internet? Are they unethical because they didn't block the Chinese?

Thoughts?
