Huge downvoting and flagging game is observed. What a stupid website this is.

> Signs include a breakdown or suppression of a free press, simplification of the political spectrum, identification of and processing of enemies of the state, weakening of the rules and protections of government and so on. A shift from the idea of equality of all (protection of minorities) towards the will of the majority.

The Chinese Communist Party has all the stuff you listed here.

What’s your reasonable definition of far-right?

Soulless is the essence of postmodernism. I have no doubt if the admin can remove the traditional buildings, they will replace them with all cubical buildings. Yelling for diversity and at the same time replacing everything with grey color rectangles and squares is their cultural revolution.

Totally agree, capturing the market should get government approval first. All the chain businesses should be banned, of course the ones you agree with can remain open.

Come on! Navie understanding of the market/society is a virtue. Profit is always bad for public good. The market is just failing everywhere. Captial investment is ruining everything. Downvotes prove you are wrong.

temp8964 — Sun, 12 Jun 2022 03:36:09 +0000

There isn’t much bubble in the housing market. The supply simply can’t keep up with the demand. This is not the best time to buy, but not the worst either.

Did I say don’t interpret 10x in a superficial silly way? A runner can be 10x better than another runner, but 10x better is not 10x faster.

Of course 10 can’t be interpreted in a superficial silly way, otherwise many postdocs can be considered as 10x Einstein.

There’s 10x in almost every profession, why is engineering different?

If you take physicists with Ph.D. plus 3 years of post-doc as the baseline, of course top physicists are 10x the baseline. And don't interpret the 10x in a superficial silly way which makes post-docs stronger than Einstein.

This goes the same in sports, arts, academics, etc. As long as the field has enough depth for growth, the top players can easily be 10x compare to the majority.

I don't know anything about these. But would opening up iPhone make it easier for authoritarian governments like China to install backdoors on your iPhone?

Of course, in these cases the company shouldn’t delete the stolen accounts either. They should lock the account , not delete.

No. It's not just to write the code. To fake a six-month legitimate use, the spammer also needs to run the code for six months, it takes lots of resource to do so.

To avoid detection, you can't just make API calls for six months. You have to run the official client on the machine for six months, and then the official client can collect more data on your usage pattern. Imagine the cost to run hundreds / thousands those accounts.

How many spammers invest months / years to upload and modify content to fake legitimate user accounts?

Synology has its own sync apps. You can also use NAS to host NextCloud, which has sync apps too.

But do they have to delete the flagged account directly?

Also, can't they distinguish a spam account from a legit account based on the account history? I can't see why this is a difficult problem to solve.
