but it exists because the government wants a centralized place to control digital activity

Speaking as someone who witnessed them from 0 to everything - it really has not much to do with that.

It has to do with how fast mobile payment swept through the country to be the connecting factor for all online services and it has to do with how easy it was and is for big players to out compete or swallow small innovators and harvest their innovations.

you bid what you think the house is worth

Except you're rarely sure how much it's worth. The market is fluid, the psychology is working on you, and the feedback takes too long that by the time you know how much you missed it's too late to learn much from it.

I really love the comparison with previous year(s) on some pages and that helped me spot a real error. The navigation is so much better than turbo tax too.

If anyone is looking to convert from turbo tax, you can import your previous return as pdf and that could cover a lot of details already that don't change year over year.

Are people really finding that out only now? I thought that this was generally accepted knowledge even in China, despite the constant fear and propaganda they live with.

Yes and no. You see, 2 decades ago probably half of my peers had that knowledge, that was when the internet was pretty much uncensored compared to how it is today. Over the years they get converted by the narrative and now it's probably 5% or even less that keeps a critical mind when reading anything from anywhere, which is, your know, all censored.

Really unimpressed by the editorial job @Reuters is doing. This is the headline of this tweet,

Ukraine's Svitolina refuses to play against Russia's Potapova in Monterrey

And this is the first paragraph of the linked article in the tweet (https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/ukraines-svitolina-...),

Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina said she would not play her round of 32 match against Russia's Anastasia Potapova in the Monterrey Open unless tennis' governing bodies followed the recommendations made by the International Olympic Committee.

Most of the replies look like they never read the linked article and just responded based on the headline, which is a misrepresentation of the article to say the least.

Some time ago, Christel, the former head of freenode staff sold `freenode ltd` (a holding company) to a third party

Couldn't help wondering - where did the money go? If it was sold for cash.

There're more string copies that can be optimized away for the C++ solution:

1. When filling the map with `word`, can use emplace with std::move of the `word` instead of operator[] because `word` is no longer needed after that, after checking that it's not already in the map

2. Constructing the vector (for sorting) with all pairs from the map ends up copying the whole map's worth of data! Can use iterator of the map instead of the key of the map in the pair. This may also make sort() faster because it may be cheaper to move an iterator than a string during sort()
