Poe’s law strikes again. I legit cannot determine whether your comment is satire or genuine.
Your first false equivalence arises out of trivializing the qualitative differences in freedom between China and the USA/EU, implicitly framing the limitations in China as comparable to those in democratic societies.…
Do you get paid by the word, by the post, or are you actually this nuts and do this for free?
It’s possible to simultaneously drive economic development, lift a populace out of poverty, and not construct an authoritarian regime. See also: Western Democracy. Remind me again which government was responsible for…
Dong Jianbiao, the father of Dong Yaoqiong, who authorities disappeared for splashing ink on a poster of President Xi Jinping in 2018, died in a prison in Hunan province. The new Measures on the Administration of…
You have conspicuously avoided addressing the specific, systemic human rights abuses unique to China. Instead, your post employs a series of rhetorical tactics aimed at stifling constructive dialogue: First, you assert…
In another comment, you claimed that “Black Lives Matter leaders … died in mysterious accidents and car fires.” This ventures firmly into the realm of conspiracy theory. Do you feel you are presenting objective facts,…
I don’t believe you’re engaging in good faith; you are employing tactics meant to stifle discourse: 1. False Equivalence: Suggesting that economic progress and freedom of speech are interchangeable or mutually exclusive…
Human rights and human prosperity aren’t mutually exclusive. On top of which, they did such a terrible job of lifting people out of poverty, they unnecessarily killed tens of millions in the deadliest famine in human…
By all human rights measures, it is worse. Freedom of association, freedom of speech, freedom of religion … you name it. Feel free to read the yearly reports from the HRW:…

For all the faults of western democracies, the Chinese Communist Party is far worse. That’s not anti-China propaganda. You comment on this issue a surprising amount, and clearly feel strongly about the US’ views on…
It’s very rare that bicycle is going to mechanically fail and send you flying. Short of the time I was hit by a car, I’ve never had a bicycling emergency — road or mountain — that I wasn’t able to walk away from through…
The design, maintenance, and alteration of parachute equipment is regulated by the FAA; equipment must be approved under the FAA’s technical standards, and anyone packing a parachute must be an FAA-licensed rigger.…

As someone who has been saved from more serious injury by a helmet more than once … that’s flat-earth levels of delusion.
Why do you take umbrage with a such a relevant fact being disclosed? Helmets save lives, and isn’t it literally their job to inform us of such facts?
> SNI monitoring is a reasonable compromise, and I think a healthy one No, it’s not. ISPs have no right to know who I am speaking to or why.
You’re right, I see that as embarrassingly trivial. This whole thread is inane — if using a simple API is “amazing engineering”, what do you call the actual amazing engineering you’re holding in your hand right now? I…
I have not missed the point. Background notifications can and do carry arbitrary application data, and are used to update the application state in the background. This is their intended purpose, it’s what they’re…
A mobile webapp is still a webapp, and “I cannot share” does not mean “I do not have”. You’re the one with an extraordinary claim here — that applications aren’t using such a basic, documented, widespread feature. It’s…
Why? Do you genuinely believe it’s uncommon for applications to leverage this useful, trivial, long-standing platform API for its intended and explicitly documented purpose? I can’t imagine why you’d believe that, but…
