I learned a couple of things there, seems like a very organized way of learning.Just wish more of this approach is implemented by others.

Also the discussions in comments makes me wonder if HN should implement syntax highlighting feature.

I used to use them two years ago when they offered 200 snip for educational accounts. I then subscribed for personal plan for 5$ when I was writing my MS thesis. It was useful and make me write quicker ( Still needed manual edits for most of the time). I then cancel my subscription when they put a limit on personal paid plan. Then they raised the prices of the (now limited) plan two times in the last couple of months. They also moved the free plan to be more of a demo. starting this month this ia their plans

Free Subscriptions: 10 Snips / month 20 PDF pages / month

Educational Subscriptions: 20 Snips / month 50 PDF pages / month

Pro Subscription: 5,000 Snips 1,000 PDF pages per month $7.99 / month and $69.99 / year

I hope to see more competition in this field.

Github becomes a favorite option for research and academic people to work and collaborate their projects their. That is a reasonable move from github to make it more suitable for them. I know my group and several others are relying more and more on github as git host with other products used for collaboration.

Chinese government (propaganda) is usually deploying this logic to suppress the discussion about their actions. It is a wide spread tactic that we see everyday. It is not like china is ever interested in helping people in Iraq, Afghanistan.. they could just stop doing the same (if not worse) as a good well gesture.

Excuse me, but why would we take what most Chinese people believe as a factor when trying to verify or understand their government actions against Muslim minority?

I mean not to say that Chinese people that most of them probably never heared (or cannot) of the tank man would be a good judgment about truth which the government are hiding on a regular basis.

It is clear that many people (sometimes with good intentions) would bring this logic to any discussion about this matter. . China is having their Muslim population put into camps and they live in a horrible injustice situation. They are targeted because of their religion /ethnicity.

Chinese government saying that US is being hypocrite because they did so and so in Iraq and whatever happened after 9/11 from abuses..etc would be good. If only they did that in general while not trying to say okay don't talk about us doing it because we think you did the same.

That would be great if you stand up against oppression in general not just when you can benefit. It would be great if we can just talk about people suffering and try to help them in every possible way.
