If the law mattered here, then the companies dumping their litter onto public grounds would be held accountable.

I've seen other comments here make a comparison to public parking for cars. They are correct in their analogy in that both sccoters/bikes/cars take up public space to park. The difference is that cars are regulated in where they can park, charged for the use in terms of parking fees or parking passes, and towed when they violate these rules set by the governmental body that was voted in. On the other hand you have companies who want to charge for the use of their scooters and bikes who don't pay a fine to municipalities for the use, thereby offloading the private costs to the public.

Any place these companies operate where they got a permit from the governing municipality, I do not have an ethical issue with. When it comes to municipalities like mine however, where the companies dropped their fleet in overnight, and then ignored the local government when they were given a chance to comply, I view as nothing but thieves.

I paid in tax money to support this infrastructure. I took part in a voting process for this current government to administer the infrastructure. When a private entity bypasses this system to put money in their pocket, they are stealing from me and every other resident of my municipality.

If you think calling stealing something from the public to benefit yourself unethical is an opinion, then I also hold the opinion that you personally have no morals.
Depends, it could be just to disrupt all other competitors on cost and not care how miserable the actual experience is for the customers.

Many not for profits exist mainly to stroke the directors’ egos and pay them a fat salary without doing much actual good (e.g. most political non-profits like the Clinton foundation).
Did you mean Paul Lockhart? His book, "Measurement" is also good. He starts with some simple concepts, like length, and goes on to develop Geometry and then Calculus while encouraging the reader to consider various questions along the way.

I'm not a number contributing to an average, especially when it comes to a defensive use of a gun, because I didn't pull the trigger and no police report was made. I kept myself from becoming a statistic because I know my own circumstances. My body, my choice.

Wow. I'd love to see it used to troll the trolls.
If you have the chance, try to go through a formal proof and analysis based course that requires convergence proofs and all that (mathematical "analysis" isn't what you might think; it's a specific subject). For calculus, it is what drove home the point and the magic for me.

We used this book (https://smile.amazon.com/Introduction-Calculus-Analysis-Clas...) but I expect it may be a bad fit for self study. Try to find something with similar subject matter.
Data Dredging

There are only about 100 commercial operators along the California coast that are licensed to harvest and sell them. That number used to be around 500 and they have been winnowing the licenses down year over year.
It makes perfect sense with the way business works in 2019. Regulatory capture means big players in a given country want lawmakers to attack foreign (and local) competition, and the lawmakers are happy to do it because it pays off. The fact that Chinese competition is Politically Threatening just makes it easier to convince lawmakers to act.

Foreign countries will exercise their control over local companies and subsidiaries (for population control, for tax revenues, and for corrupt personal gains to politicians) just like we do, and will tap into any data they can for political advantage.

All the big countries want control over data, which means they want services to be operated by local subsidiaries or want the foreign companies to be subject to local laws. Their uses for the data may vary and the other demands they make may vary but in the end all of these big capitalist societies (even the ones pretending to be communist or whatever) function the same way: The people with money control the system in order to make more money.

Even before TikTok was being attacked as an arm of a foreign surveillance state, Huawei was being targeted the same way (rightly or not - probably correct). This framing is a success with the general public as well, and is currently being deployed against international gaming companies like Blizzard, Epic and Riot based on their Chinese (Tencent) ownership stakes, even if they're based in the US.
I thought it was more to do with the type of person that read papers more than any price signal. If I were to generalize my experience with people reading papers it's that the poorest 20% of society never read them, the next 20% read the Sunday paper, the next 20% read it daily and the 20% after that read something like the economist. Through self selection advertisers could target their audiences somewhat. Of course those are extremely broad generalizations.

There's also the problem of TikTok's home-grown toxic culture.

There was an article last year in one of the Hong Kong publications (HKFP, maybe) about how children will post TikTok videos of themselves doing things like jumping in front of buses, and threatening to kill themselves if they don't get x number of likes.
My bad. That statement did not come out right.

wasm is great. I just don't think Qt's wasm port is in a state where companies can just compile their desktop application, throw the resulting module on a web server, and then expect a decent result.

Ignoring the fact that most desktop applications aren't designed to be ran on a mobile-sized screen, Qt's accessibility support is non-existent (at least that was the case when I last evaluated their tech preview).

So to rephrase: Naively porting desktop applications and presenting them to customers as a first-class product would be lunacy.

I'm not sure which laws they're basing this on, but it's not unusual to see countries differently. For example UK's DPA allows storing data in countries with similar protection guarantees. I would expect that doesn't include China, but does include Germany.

I find it very intriguing and fascinating the market penetration speed tiktok had:

- developed in 200 days

- launched in September 2016 in China

- launched in September 2017 internationally

- in November 2017 it's parent company spends up to $1 billion to acquire musical.ly.

- it presently has over 500 million MAU users (I think it has them for over a year now, but I'm on mobile and can't find a source for this claim)

Except it isn't all platforms - it doesn't include iOS and Android. But the web, especially an installable web app (PWA) is exactly all platforms. As well as solving the issue of a shared chromium engine, or engine of your choice.

>depending on Monty's motivations, his knowledge, and the way he decides what information to give you.

The missing piece of the puzzle that seems to frequently be left out is we KNOW Monty's motivations, knowledge, and how he decides. At the time the problem was formulated, when Let's Make a Deal was still on television, all this was common knowledge: Monty is the host of a game show, he knows where the two goats and the car are, and he decides which door to open by picking one of the unchosen doors he KNOWS has a goat behind it. The problem suffers now, 40-odd years later, by the fact that people often don't know who Monty Hall IS, and the problem is usually worded as if it's still 1963-1976, so this foundational knowledge is missing. There is no QUESTION what Monty Hall knew, or what his motivation on the show was... except people who don't know the game show don't know that.

Granted, the actual game show was a bit more varied, but the presumption in the thought experiment is that Monty ISN'T trying to goad you into un-choosing the correct door, which he frequently did on the show because the tragedy of it was more entertaining than just giving away a car.
I really love signal and I, too, fully agree with this sentiment.

I have managed to keep a phone number for almost double-digit years. It would be amazing to not have to use my telco as the source of identity for my Signal communications.
If Signal could change this one thing and allow (or maybe somehow prefer?) it to be linked to a mobile number it would have real feature advantages over all of the other random chat apps for phones. Signal call quality is jaw droppingly good, but thats hard to sell at the gas station or water cooler.

As it stands people I refer to Signal usually have a preferred chat app (which is unfortunately often facebook messenger) or SMS. IOS people have no reason to use it other than the amazing privacy benefits, and android people seem to be on whatever their mom isn't.

I would pay to not have to use my phone number for this service.
I think Instagram has nailed this, personally. Their ads get seamlessly placed in your feed, they're usually interesting to look at with high quality graphics and videos, and if I don't want to see them, it's trivial to scroll past them. But the ads have definitely snagged me to make a few impulse purchases this year.
Good idea here. If only Netflix would move to a 100% F/OS stack without proprietary WebDRM.
This is so sad. We in America need to appreciate what we have. I wonder what it's like for Syrian children.
You've got two dangers in shellfish, one is bacterial spoilage and another is domoic acid poisoning that comes from plankton metabolites concentrating up the food pyramid. I always eat uni live so that's not really an issue - actually I can't stand it in a restaurant because I've always had it straight out of the ocean and nothing compares to that. But domoic acid doesn't concentrate in them because they don't eat those plankton - you only really have that issue with mussels, some tissues in scallops, and the tomalley of crab and lobsters - and that's very seasonal and typically not an issue.
A couple of years ago I would have totally agreed with this, and I had several abortive attempts to do something like that before starting Polynote. The problem is, it turns out that a notebook really needs to be able to display a bunch of really heterogeneous rich output. There's only one pre-baked way to support that, and it's HTML. So you can either embed HTML in your UI, or embed your UI in HTML. At least on the JVM (and at least for me), it turned out to be easier to do the latter than the former.
Anything is possible.

My topmost comment said these are open questions, as in undefined.

I, as in IMHO, highly doubt it would be like you're describing, but it is equally likely that it may be like how you're describing, it's just an open question.

In fact, a couple of years ago there was a small event at Tim Draper's Draper University in San Mateo about how auto insurance would look in the world of self-driving cars and it was very clear that at least till that point there was no consensus. I haven't seen anything to suggest if that has changed since then.

This, like so many extreme opinions, is just wrong.

An advertisement that happens to reach someone who has a problem that your product solves isn't a scam. It is a way to get that person to know about your solution.

I'm not sure if you're on Snapchat or Instagram, but they aggressively advertise (I see dozens of TikTok ads a day). Basically, they're burning money.

It's definitely not sustainable.

This. Every time you send a message in one of those apps, it's like taking a $20 bill and lighting it on fire.

I'll admit they have their uses, and hopefully they'll get better over time. But given their current state, if you don't place any value on what you're saying then why even say it in the first place?

From your second link:

> if we switch from one page to another, and none of the code or data for the next screen has loaded yet, it might be frustrating to immediately see a blank page with a loading indicator.

IDK what's the best or most accepted UX. But my gut feeling says an instant transition to the new page with light grey pulsating placeholders rectangles for the still to load contents gives the highest user satisfaction. This feels super responsive and is learned by the users for years (and it's perfectly do-able just with Suspense).

So, I wonder if the solution of clicking, seeing no change but a small loading sign or spinner next to button till the page really is transitioning is actually that more responsive/satisfying? I really don't think so, it rather makes the app feel more sluggish, reminiscent of the old days with server-rendered pages and not feeling like a actual SPA.

This is of course debatable but are there any other significant/killer use cases React Concurrent makes possible? I don't want to sound snarky but I've the feeling Concurrent is a solution with a slick name searching for a problem. I hope I am wrong.

I define value pretty loosely. It can be everything from the ambiance in the bathroom to the pricing options.

There are some interesting results if you check the Google Analytics ID of TikTok.

They seem to also manage a somewhat sizable portfolio of gambling sites, sites selling knockoff Sports Jerseys, and adult videotube sites.

I am counting about 45 sites right now for UA-75850242.

Many Chinese sites seem to operate like this. I believe Huawei has about 500 completely unrelated sites.

A sort of SFW “soft core” example of this would be yoma202.com [1] which is also used to manage huaweimarine.com. Please note that Huawei and Huawei Marine separated about 6 months ago technically.

The old joke was "We know 50% of our ad buy money is wasted in newspapers, we just don't know which 50%."

Now they know, and they also know the amount of waste is much higher.

This plus the destruction of classified ads has hit the newspaper industry hard.

Now pile on top all the "news" sites that don't really spend any money on editors, research, or reporting (all those sites that post articles about other articles or even worse tweets) that directly compete with newspapers on advertising money and you have a very bleak environment.

> I literally found someone to buy my company at a (non-industry) party. (I mean, I did a bad job of it, I was drinking too much and complaining loudly about how much it sucks to run a company and how I had fucked up like three really good chances to sell the thing and generally being a downer, which is rude, I think, at a party, but also not how you maximize the value of the company you sell. Still, I got an impactful amount of money, and more importantly, I got someone else to run the damn thing so I could go get a job that paid without dumping my existing customers.) I've solved technical problems in similar sorts of ways; it's completely normal to go hang out with friends and actually solve problems over drinks or pizza or whatever.

[Preface: I use Matrix/Riot, Signal, Telegram and Wire for chats, and have been using these for more than a few years]

Considering the very slow pace of development on UX and stability, the $50 million initial grant and the creation of Signal Foundation don’t seem to have achieved much. As recently as a few months ago, on the latest iOS and latest version of Signal, I’ve seen some contacts get multiple device changed messages from me even though nothing had changed (no change in device, no change in OS). The few contacts who do use it also complain of message delivery issues. There’s still no way to backup chats on iOS. There’s no easy way to get back group memberships when changing devices. Combine all these with how much the UX and feature set lag behind that of Telegram, I still see Signal as a niche laggard.

As pointed out by others, using a phone number as the identifier is a big drawback for something that focuses on security and privacy (Telegram shares the same drawback). What’s worse is that Signal, like WhatsApp, exposes one’s phone number to everyone else in a group (something Telegram got right for a long time by making one’s phone number invisible by default; after privacy issues in the Hong Kong protests, Telegram quickly provided an update so that even people who have your number in their contacts, through enumeration in the case of oppressive regimes, wouldn’t know that you’re on Telegram).

I can go on and on, but Signal is not something I’d recommend to people who need secure, private and reliable messaging. I’m currently looking forward to UX improvements in Matrix and its clients. A decentralized solution is probably the best bet for our freedom.
That really makes it seem like you have more of a 1/2 chance than 2/3.
