Consider looking at the CNN reporting team that was arrested live on television without reason? It's not a good sign if media is being censored like that.
Re:Mobile Benchmark Cheating as a Service on Friday April 10, 2020 @02:13AM (#22830456)
To your last point, I find it completely reasonable and something I configure for all mobile games I have on my phone. My Samsung Note 8 isn't able to handle smooth gameplay for many applications without tweaking, which I have configured through Samsung's Game Tuner app which does warn about potential overheating concerns. There are actually phone cases made specifically to help with phone cooling these days; tangent, but this reminds me of how CPU cooling gets more advanced as high performance CPUs generate more heat under heavy workloads.
Re:New Google SRE book: Building Secure and Reliable Systems on Wednesday April 08, 2020 @03:30PM (#22816177)
This is a far-fetched guess: self-healing systems are one aspect of SRE. And since some species of lizards can grow back appendages, that's where the connection might be?
Re:Coronavirus and Credibility on Monday April 06, 2020 @10:41PM (#22799896)
Where in this timeline do you see evidence that information their healthcare system had suggesting how severe COVID-19 was, was being intentionally covered up? I just see how unfortunate it is that they realized COVID-19's severity too late, else the Wuhan residents who left prior to the lockdown would not have been able to travel as freely as they did.
Re:Coronavirus and Credibility on Monday April 06, 2020 @09:18PM (#22799528)
Thanks for the links. It seems that the response went along the following timeline according to my understanding:

  1. Dec. 30 - Doctors from the first few cases have analyzed the samples and discover how similar the new virus is to SARS. Officials tell them not to spread information to the public about the virus.

  2. Dec. 31 - China tells WHO about new virus (not that they know much at this point)

  3. Jan. 1 - Provincial health committee orders provincial labs to destroy samples, samples are transported to larger state facility to do testing there. The reason for this is due to the samples being considered "highly pathogenic microorganisms", and that only approved facilities should test it. (I'm guessing due to the risk of acting on the sample and contracting it?)

  4. Jan. 2nd - State approved facilities map the genetic sequence but an official national statement doesn't get made until a week later, Jan. 9th.
So from lab work, until international statement, that's two weeks. During that time, wouldn't it make sense for the doctors and researchers to keep their results hidden until it can be verified lest they risk causing unwarranted panic? Considering how carriers of COVID19 can be asymptomatic [1], it does take time for verification to be done on whatever discovery a nation makes on the world stage. In hindsight, it's easy to say that they should have jumped the gun and done exactly that on whatever communications platform were available to them. However, had COVID-19 turn out to be a minor disease, that'd mark the end of all their careers.

Re:Coronavirus and Credibility on Monday April 06, 2020 @08:41PM (#22799331)
Out of curiosity, and because I'm a Canadian out of the loop with respect to American news networks, how can there be news being at ends with each other? That's something I have difficulty putting into perspective (referring to the Team CNN vs Team Fox comparison)
Re:Coronavirus and Credibility on Monday April 06, 2020 @08:36PM (#22799311)
Actually, China was thought to have covered it up because the whistleblower originally sent a message[1] to a WeChat group of his, telling group members that 7 people from the wet markets had been diagnosed with SARS. The government had no idea what it was and I'm sure nobody in the world knew what it was at the time, hence how it's a novel virus.

How credible is this source?

The Twitter post references an article from an Hong Kong site, which references the Japanese media (no specifics on which one), who then quotes a physician from Wuhan, yet doesn't bring up the physician's name or the hospital in which they work in.

Re:Ask HN: What are you thankful for? on Thursday November 28, 2019 @08:59PM (#21661427)
I'm thankful for the health of my family, and that of my extended one. I'm thankful for the support and care of my close friends, and I wish the best for them. I'm thankful for a flourishing career in my 20s, after having left university with mental health, and confidence issues that left me in the lowest point in my life, up to that point. I'm thankful that I made better choices that align way better with my sense of self, and what I truly want in this life. I'm also incredibly grateful for the mentorship I've been receiving along the way.
This sounds downright terrifying.
Why is that?

Ask HN: What are people's main sources of articles these days?

I use HN as my primary source of news and articles these days as I'm having difficulty finding alternative sources for tech news, along with meaningful commentary. I find that the variety of article sources on here quite abundant, but aside from finding them on HN, how are people stumbling upon them otherwise?

If that's the argument it comes down to for electoral governments, I'd say that's quite sad.

What if there aren't any terrible leaders per se, just that none of the leaders feel 'right'? What if the leaders that replace them in the next election cycle also lack voter confidence?

Re:U.N., Unicef, Red Cross Under Ongoing Mobile Attack on Sunday October 27, 2019 @08:16PM (#21373376)
I mean, with everything that's happened since Snowden, it more or less started with ordinary US citizens losing trust in them before it carried over via other circumstances to nations like Syria. The root cause is elsewhere; what's happened in Syria is merely symptomatic.
Also, there are forums in which the Chinese do freely discuss these topics, obviously with to some degree of discretion. But yes, they generally stick to speaking about sensitive topics to verbal conversation since there's significantly less 'keyboard warriors' over there - especially ones with any strong political lean.
