1953: * Mao declared that "95 percent of the people are good," leading the party to target 5 percent in many organizations as "bad elements" who should be purged and repressed. At least hundreds of thousands died.

I also want to point out that a lot ppl who suffered or even lost their lives during such period were actually sabotaged or framed by their peers (neighbors, coworkers), rather than the authority.

Obviously TE is a company for profit. I don't feel it's a bad thing for them to do so. This proves there is a market for such product, and the competitors should see the opportunities and try to make some great design products that would catch everyone's eye. As a result, it should benefit the consumers. Sure, you have to wait for a while if you don't want to throw cash to TE, but such cool-kids-toys are not expected to be cheap anyway.

Agree, they want smart workers (well you have to be smart at some degree to do software). And they don't care if they will miss some genius, they just let other companies help the selection process, and if you turn out to be gold, they will pay a big money to get you.

I posted a bunch of pictures from the Hong Kong protests in the past couple days.

It shocked me that all of my posts were blocked immediately, people can see my old posts but not those new posts with the "sensitive" pictures.

I downloaded those pictures from bloomberg, so I am sure the wechat / tencent is running some web crawler and ML to identify the news picture from the online sources and block them automatically. Still there is some way to get around, by assembling a group of pictures together and adding some noise (adding words, etc).

What's more, the regime is not only monitoring wechat or weibo, it's monitoring non-domestic social medias like twitter as well, for example here's a pictures showing a huge screen, where a lot of tweets are being process my some NLP algorithm, and outputs a result showing whether the tweet is positive, neutral or negative towards the regime [1].

This is how a totalitarianism would apply technology, it uses everything it could to control the people in order to survive.

China is now going full throttle to become a nazi + commie country, it's THE CANCER for everyone else who loves freedom and democracy.

There will be only two possibilities in the 21st century, either the Communist China crashed like USSR, or a war will happen between the China and the west. Hong Kong is literally the frontline of the battlefield.

Can't say for everyone else, but from my observation, ppl from big china cities are more likely to go back while ppl from small cities are more willing to stay. The reasons is that moving to big china cities is as hard if not harder than staying in SV.

For myself, I'd like to stay here even I came from a big city like shanghai as I enjoy the freedom in US and agree with american values.

Besides, china is getting worse in every aspect I care about such as speech freedom, news freedom, human rights, food and air safety, etc, under Xi's administration.

Unfortunately the waiting time for a green card is too long, I don't want to sacrifice some of the most valuable years in my life just waiting here while I can achieve more if I'm able to work on my own project.

So I am moving back as well in the near future and hope someday I can make an achievement and get back to US.

If they have the ability to telescope us before we do. They can probably guess that technology accelerates. In fact I feel more pessimistic of the human's future as we found more and more such older planets -- If their million or billion years older civilization cannot reach us, then we might not reach out that far as well in the next billion year, or ever.

Quote from the wiki: A history is linearizable if:

    its invocations and responses can be reordered to yield a sequential history
    that sequential history is correct according to the sequential definition of the object
    if a response preceded an invocation in the original history, it must still precede it in the sequential reordering.

Please forgive my stupidness. But could you tell me which one it violates?

etcd does provide linearizability with regard to the logical clock index.

What you found is not a bug, but a design decision.

Maybe the coreos people just should not assume that linearizability means the same thing to all people. And they should document it clearly.
