  • He also came with some pretty good receipts that appear to show .ml mods removing criticism of China that, whether you agree with it or not, didn’t seem to violate any rules, and was well within the bounds of what most people would consider civil discourse.

    but what he showed seems legit, and I’m not sure he could have provided more evidence without encouraging brigading.

    Based on just your link, it just kinda looks like he was posting unsourced gore. That doesn’t feel like civil discourse to me.

    I don’t really see any criticism being removed. If Katana314’s message was congruent with reality it would count, but otherwise just making accusations isn’t criticism.










  • Idea of free market is that it’s better than a manage market. If there’s room for innovation, the free market will find it. Central planning leads to being risk adverse and exploiting inefficiencies to soak up government money. So if free market is your religion, you shouldn’t be bothered that China tries to plan their production instead. Cheap labour also doesn’t hold since the USA has historically been happy to have their companies contract labour from cheaper countries. So if you’re losing due to Chinese salaries, just hire Chinese people.

    Also, China doesn’t subsidise any of these exports. Then they’d lose money, and they’re exporting to earn money. They subsidise R&D and domestic sales of things that’ll make domestic companies more productive and competitive.




  • Responding to the comment on the sensor quality.

    By posting this image, the takeaway that I think most people will have is that the phone camera will be somewhere around 4.4 by 3.3mm, and that’s 1.5% of what you want. But this one, the one in the article’s sensor is 9.8 by 7.4mm, somewhere in the middle of this chart.

    It’s also not a direct apples to apples comparison, because phones are smaller and thus have smaller lenses and so smaller sensors make more sense. If bigger is always better, then big cinema cameras would be even bigger, but they’re usually full frame. A smaller sensor doesn’t have to be worse, it just has to be more compact, meaning it’s more expensive, and that would often translate to worse, but in phones, compactness is a valued feature.*

    *There are physical limitations to how much light will hit a surface.



  • That’s actually not true. When you cut/paste a file on your computer (for most computers), it’s much faster than copying the file. Deleting the file is also not instant, so copy and delete should be the slowest of the three operations.

    When you cut and paste a file, you’re just renaming the file or updating the file database. It’s different how that works depending on your file system, but it typically never involves rewriting much of the data of the file.

    Edit: Fixed typo.
