Just as a reference, 80% of toilets in Hong Kong are flushed with seawater: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_in...

Isn't labeling still an important part of modern AI?

Some VoIP provider may offer IVR service and one can setup similar mechanism using IVR. I know voip.ms offers IVR.

Probably because he was at one point. Even Sweeney bragged about getting around it: http://web.archive.org/web/20220204202539/https://twitter.co...

This reminds me of the Black Mirror's "Black Museum" episode...

Zuul is great. After using it for about a year in production, I must say Zuul is everything I hoped for and more (coming from a Jenkins deployment previously.) Some of the concepts take a bit of effort to wrap my head around but once I understood them they make a lot of sense. Leveraging of Ansible is great. Making jobs cheap and inheritable is awesome.

I think we should start adopting the term 'tinnitus' when people argue with 'dogwhistle'. Just because a person calling X a dogwhistle of Y doesn't make it so.

Can you elaborate more? What are the things that are bad for general amp but good for guitar amp? Is the amplification non-linear in some specific ways and how does it help with guitar music? (I know nothing about guitar except what it looks like.)

For those who are not familiar, AWG stands for Arbitrary Waveform Generator.

UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

"Article 19.

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."

I don't see any mention of government there. Why limit the interpretation of free speech to the US constitution? How do you reconcile ideologically or philosophically that it is not ok for US Congress to limit speech but ok for other powerful entities?

For folks who are looking for tiling without switching the windows manager, the gTile [0] GNOME shell extension is pretty good.

I don't speak the language but the auto transcribe and auto translate seems to work ok.

Yes, big businesses as well: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2020/06/03/hsbc-backs-c...

> Last Friday Leung Chun-ying, Hong Kong’s pro-Beijing former leader, demanded that HSBC state its position after enjoying privileges in the territory that “should not be taken for granted”.

He also warned that it could “be replaced by banks from China or other countries overnight”.

In a Facebook post he wrote: “We need to let … British companies such as HSBC know which side of the bread is buttered.”

"Free speech" is about the government suppressing your speech.

No it's not.

"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." -- United Nation Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 19 https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/

I second this. Flash, HyperCard, Dreamweaver, VisualBasic 6 are all the tools I (along with my classmates) played with during high school before any official cs/engineering training.

Can you elaborate on that? I can't really read the mind of either of you ("you know as well as I do"... what do you guys know?)

On a super long page (like forum post or comment thread, etc.), highlighting keywords on the scroll bar shows clustering of the find target and help you jump to the relevant conversation.

Are you familiar with Hong Kong's public housing system? [1]

This shows how little trust is left with the government (if any). Carrie Lam went from, "all works has stopped" to "the bill is dead" while refusing to follow proper process until today. Finally doing what she previously claimed to be unnecessary, after so many pain and damages.

* Updated: Office of the Chief Executive just responded to media inquiry [4] and clarified that the withdraw will be an announcement not involving vote or debate per rule 64. (I haven't found an English copy yet.)

Before update:

Today's press release [1]: "The Secretary for Security will move a motion according to the Rules of Procedure when the Legislative Council resumes."

The relevant official text of the above chinese link: Rule of Procedure of the Legislative Council (LegCo) 64(2) and (3)[2]: "(2) The Member or public officer in charge of a bill may, by an announcement made in Council at the beginning of proceedings for the resumption of the second reading debate on the bill, withdraw the bill if -

(a) the purpose of the resumption is for making such an announcement; and

(b) such purpose has been so stated in the notice of the resumption of debate given under Rule 54(5) (Second Reading). (L.N. 74 of 2005)

(3) The Member or public officer in charge of a bill may, in making an announcement for the withdrawal of the bill under subrule (2), address the Council on matters relevant to the withdrawal but no debate may arise on such an address. (L.N. 74 of 2005)"

So no motion/debate/vote is needed. People are saying the Article 23/national security bill in 2003 was withdrawn by simple gazetting, without any motion or debate. This is the equivalent press back then [3].

That's not what you links said. Would you like to correct your assertion?

This is another fake move by Carrie Lam. A withdraw only requires a simple declaration and not a motion that require a vote.

Not sure why this was downvoted when it's a statement of fact: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/28/world/asia/china-began-pu...

It wouldn't be giving to ROC, but returning. I am not sure how many people know this fact: the Chinese copy of the Treaty of Nanking is currently in Taiwan (the treaty that ceded Hong Kong to the UK.)

If China is using "safety" as a political weapon, I think other countries need to respond with sanction. The idea of safety is not some abstract concept. Safety is an objective measures with international norm, standards and processes.

The fixed line break probably make reading difficult on a small, narrow, variable width screen such as mobile.

No, you did not state fact. The protest at the Liaison Office and the Yuen Long terrorist attack happened at the same time. The Yuen Long attack is also now shown (via various news outlet) to be planned well ahead (as early as 7/20 if not earlier.)

Does anyone know of a way to migrate an active chrome session (with all the tabs and windows) to firefox? (so kind of like restoring a session but restoring a session from chrome.)

the world, because the CCP hasn't been listening.

The Taiwan case is just an excuse. Taiwan already said they will refuse the transfer under such bill: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hongkong-extradition-expl...

Taiwan is not China so an extradition law with mainland China does not matter for a case involving Taiwan.
