China’s Shein hit with RICO, a law used for organised crime
  • From one of this own comments.

    Islamophobic and Sinophobic bigot does bigoted things.

    Translation: "You piece of shit! Idiot! Please delete your account."

    Now as to this one in particular, it seems like it can be chalked up as either he doesn't read beyond headlines or he's just plain incompetent.

  • We do, and your country steals them.

    Also the cold war mentality.

    China is literally the analogue of the Soviet Union, they've even studied how they failed. Is this cold war mentality in the room with us right now, Mr. Zhang?

    Prompt:

    Write me a comment thread of two redditors arguing between the merits of using Celsius or Fahrenheit for their respective user

    Response:

    Redditor1: I can't believe people still use Fahrenheit! Celsius is so much better and easier to understand. It's based on the freezing and boiling points of water, which makes logical sense. Who needs Fahrenheit anyway?

    Redditor2: Are you kidding me? Fahrenheit is way more practical! It provides a finer level of temperature precision and is better suited for everyday weather measurements. Celsius is just too limited with its smaller scale.

    Redditor1: Precision? That's just unnecessary! Celsius provides a clear understanding of temperature without the need for arbitrary reference points. The fact that water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C makes it intuitive and widely adopted worldwide. Plus, it's used in scientific research and international standards.

    Redditor2: Sure, Celsius might be more widely used internationally, but that doesn't automatically make it superior. Fahrenheit has its advantages, especially when it comes to weather forecasting. The Fahrenheit scale allows for a more nuanced representation of temperature differences, which can be crucial when determining how hot or cold it actually feels.

    Redditor1: But why complicate things with a scale that relies on arbitrary points like the freezing and boiling of brine solution and the human body temperature? Celsius is based on a fundamental and universal aspect of nature: water. It makes conversions between units easier and eliminates the need for mental calculations.

    Redditor2: I understand your point about simplicity, but Fahrenheit offers a wider range of temperature values for everyday temperatures. It allows us to have more precise differentiations in weather forecasts, which is important for people who need accurate information for planning their day. Besides, those who grew up using Fahrenheit find it easier to relate to temperatures on that scale.

    Redditor1: Well, I think the scientific community would disagree with you on that. Celsius is the standard in scientific research, and it's taught in schools worldwide. It's consistent, logical, and eliminates the need for multiple temperature scales. It's time for Fahrenheit to step aside and let Celsius take over.

    Redditor2: Scientific research is just one aspect of temperature measurement. Fahrenheit has its place in everyday life, especially in countries that have been using it for generations. It's not about letting one scale take over the other; it's about recognizing the benefits and practicality of both. People should have the freedom to choose what they're most comfortable with, whether it's Celsius or Fahrenheit.

    Redditor1: Fair enough, personal preference does play a role, and people should have the freedom to choose. However, from a global perspective, Celsius provides a more standardized and universal approach to temperature measurement. It's easier for international communication and understanding, which is increasingly important in our interconnected world.

    Redditor2: I can respect your viewpoint on standardization, but let's not forget that there are countries and regions where Fahrenheit is deeply ingrained in their culture and everyday life. It's not just about personal preference; it's about respecting diversity and different historical contexts. Both Celsius and Fahrenheit have their merits, and it's up to individuals and communities to decide which one suits them best.

  • Desperate or just business as normal?
  • How did you find the mod list on that sub? I'm using browser now to occasionally check Reddit, but it seems like they are removing rhe ability to search for sub mods, or maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.

  • Chinese intelligence hacked U.S government emails in ‘significant’ breach
  • None of what you've described will control China's behavior. The window of opportunity to effectively manage their belligerence was closed shortly after we allowed them into the WTO, which was when we had greater leverage to shoehorn their development than we do now.

    Right now we can only manage to have a marginal impact on their behavior with the tools we have now. Everything else is just a waiting game until our economies can adjust and de-risk while looking for more market disruptions with which we can gain an edge over China.

    If you really care enough about this, there are plenty of tools to which you can use to gain essential knowledge into cybersecurity and other critical technology sectors, and learn yourself into the field of information security.

  • Hard to believe something that feels like it's lying to you all the time. I asked it about a topic that I'm in and have a website about, it told me the website was hypothetical. It got it wrong twice, even after it agreed it was wrong, and then told me the wrong thing again.

    Is this what they consider hallucinations?
