I'm behind on school I'm behind ahhhhhhh
I feel ya... One way to keep from getting more behind is, at the end of the day, consolidate everything that is due tomorrow into one to-do list. Projects that take lots of time should be broken up into day by day deadlines. If its an essay, say hey imma write 10 sentences today and check out( though that might not work if its close to the deadline). Also Vietnamese coffee is the best for crunching and rushing work.

I've just learned about hamming code error correction and now I want to make a cable that takes info from one side, generates parity bits and sends it along the cable to the other end and it will automatically check for errors. It would be directional so I would have to make two, put them antiparallel and govern which lane is used by a read write bit. Imma start with an 11bit lane, so that builds up to 16 bits, 5 bit parity, 11 bit data .... Jeez that's going to be a bunch of transistors. wish me luck!

if this happens again, you might want to do something like two-factor authentication. That way even if they have your password, the will also have to do the second part, which is of your choice. I think insta does phone numbers or something similar. How it goes is that when someone logs in with your password, they'll still have to do something like enter the code texted to your number.

China's hardline stance:
-
Yiren's weibo had supported the use of Xinjiang cotton.Since the boycott of Xinjiang cotton by a lot of western companies over forced muslim labor, chinese artists have been issuing support for Xinjiang cotton as a show of patriotism.... is what the surface looks like.
In reality Chinese artists are expected to show such support as role model citizens of china, within or outside of china, else they risk being sanctioned, banned, or boycotted by the chinese government and major entertainment companies of china. Yiren has no control over her weibo and as a chinese artist she might risk being canceled or sanctioned by the chinese entertainment industry if they do not patriotically support their countries matters. If Xinjiang cotton is a economic powerhouse for china, public figures have to support it or risk ire from the government. That is unconditional support -- even if it is unethical.
Another instance is when Liu Yifei (刘亦菲) the actress for disney's 2020 Mulan officially "condoned" the Hong Kong extradition law. She was basically forced to do so or risk losing her place in the chinese entertainment industry, which provided her whole career up until then.
Even a chinese artist WangYibo had dragged his feet for a full three days after most domestic chinese artists had cut contracts with the boycotting companies. There is dissent, but it is always paved over by the threat of losing a career, company, or even future.
Further YueHua has already been under fire from the chinese gov't before and to have a rogue artist ( from the position of mainland) would be basically asking the government to kill the company. China is already combing the tax filings and past buisness deals of the western companies to find dirt on the companies to litigate against. Western companies can retreat back across the East-West border. YueHua cannot. If YueHua were to be taken down, then Everglow goes with it. If China can hold back $315B worth Ant IPO, then they can basically squash a entertainment company worth only several million.
TL;DR Yiren had no control over what happened. Even if she did, there was really only one choice. Guys please don't hate on her.
