The "sandboxing" you're referring to was very limited in scope. It essentially amounted to not giving content scripts any references to non-content objects like the browser chrome; poorly written extensions often broke this "sandbox", and it provided no protection whatsoever against browser exploits -- any arbitrary code execution exploit would allow an attacker to run unrestricted code on the user's system.
The level of reserve investors require may initially be high after this, but it'll go down over time, bit by bit.

TikTok is presumably doing this to create a better network for their users. Most of their users are watchers rather than content creators. I'd expect most watchers would prefer to watch attractive people over unattractive ones.

To me, this seems most similar to movie producers hiring attractive people to be in their movies. TikTok creators are making content for the platform, and the platform is curating the content to try and find things it thinks the audience will like. In the same way movie producers select specific people to be in their movies because they think their audience will appreciate them.

What operating systems are you talking about? I'm considering popular operating systems as they're used by end users that are downloading and running applications on their own machines, and I was mostly considering ones that existed 20 years ago. I'm not thinking just of what the OS's kernel technically supports, but the full experience of how it guides users to use it. All of my points go for Windows, MacOS (with apps downloaded outside of the app store), and desktop Linux, and half of my points still apply to modern mobile operating systems (iOS and Android).

If you told an arbitrary Windows user to try a game/app you made, and you link them an EXE file, then at a surely 99%+ chance, if they run it, they're going to do it in the default unsandboxed way that exposes their files on the computer to the executable, and gives your executable the chance to hook itself in persistently on their system. It may be technically possible to safely sandbox arbitrary applications from accessing all your user files in Windows by using special tools or by creating a user account per app, but the operating system does not guide users to do that, there's a ton of gotchas, and basically no one does that. I feel pretty confident labelling that as not "great security sandboxing by default".

>>But with great security sandboxing by default, with multiple interoperable open-source implementations, built on open standards, and cross-platform and not bound to any specific machine architecture.

>All that applies to operating systems and has been like that for decades.

Android is the only OS I can think of that almost ticks all of those boxes, but it still falls short. There aren't multiple separate popular/well-supported implementations of it. Its code is open, but by "open standards" I was referring to the whole decentralized standards process the web has; in Android, Google adds, deprecates, and discontinues APIs without any outside input. In the web, browsers generally only introduce browser-specific APIs in the short term and work towards unifying their APIs with other browsers. It's super rare for anything that makes it through the standards process to ever be removed; browsers prize backwards compatibility of standardized features far more than any comparable platform. Android apps generally aren't usable on non-Android devices; if you point an arbitrary Windows user or an iPhone user at an Android app, they won't be able to run it, at least not without some special expertise.

There are certainly limits to formal definitions of information, but I see them as lower bounds on semantics, such that we can identify meaningful as that which passes the bounds. Doesn't guarantee true negatives, but at least gives us true positives, so is a sufficient if not necessary criteria for meaning.

> The availability is the same, though

The point is, gouging creates MORE availability. Remember those hurricanes? People outside the devastated zones promptly filled jerry cans with gas, drove into the disaster area, and sold gas out of the back of their pickup trucks for high prices.

That is, until the government made it illegal to do that. The next disaster meant people had no gas until the government got around (days later) to bringing some in and rationing it.

TP is not quite the inelastic situation you posit it is. For example, there's been a boom in sales of bidet toilet attachments. High prices for tp make it very attractive to switch, thus making tp available for others. High prices mean people who already have more tp than they need will be tempted to sell it. High prices mean TP makers will ramp up production as fast as possible. High prices mean people will be motivated to make & sell TP alternatives. High prices mean people have no reason to hoard TP.

Anti-gouge laws lead directly to hoarding and no TP available.

People in this hypothetical protected class are placed there by others. They're already segregated and marginalized, and generally no one asks them if they want that.

We have an example of that right here from TikTok.
Like I mentioned previously, there are objective sufficient criteria to identify meaning. Even if the interpretive context is subjective. So, we can guarantee true positives, even if we cannot guarantee true negatives.
> I understand he is pushing the idea that instead of telling people who feel sick to self isolate and only call a hospital (and get tested) if they have respiratory problems, to instead test them early, and if the are positive, provide them with anti-viral treatments.

> So should high end nightclubs be publicly shamed for doing what they do (when what their "users" want is exactly non-ugly people)

TikTok users aren't aware of filtering yet, so telling them is a social good. Humans may prefer to see beautiful people, but filtering out ugly people means the majority of users will be below average compared to the content they view. They should at least know it's happening.

> and driven out of business?

Has this happened to TikTok?
Great news, although I know it's gonna be a while before it's a smooth transition to this version - definitely going to push for atleast one of our systems. Some features we needed in this one. e.g. helpful NPE messages
It also doesn't seem any different than restaurants that require a certain dress code. I remember being denied entry to a night club because I showed up wearing jeans and a t-shirt (it was a big group of us who didn't plan to go to a nightclub, but one member of our group knew the owner and said we should go). The only issue I could see is that TikTok isn't up front about about their "attractiveness" requirements.
> No, I am not kidding. Several subreddits kept track of all reputable worldwide news sources of all kinds: news agencies, governments, health organizations...

The easiest tell that you being deceptive is that you didn't list these subreddits. List them or should I say, go frantically search for them and list them here in a desperate attempt to maintain any sort of credibility. Or are you a major contributor to those subs and are embarrassed to list them because it would be obvious that the subs are part of the disinformation campaign to spread fear?

> I have not claimed all are to be trusted or anything like that, so please do not make strawmen.

You wrote "Reddit has been a very good source of information in this crisis." You are the one building a straw man argument, not me.

Also "so please do not make strawmen" is such interesting phrasing. Can I ask what nationality you are?
Laws against gouging actually motivate people to hoard. Then come the laws against hoarding, which people do anyway, they just do it secretly.
Without drastic further action I can see this easily happening.
It would be interesting to see how this lines up with incidence in coronavirus/covid spread. Some places look to be slower on the uptake in dropping restaurant reservations, which may portend a more severe onset of cv in that community.

Since we are feeding the trolls on the subject of discriminating by appearances, comparing against night clubs is flawed. A night club should not allow just pretty people to enter because simply it is not fair. There might be a hidden rule for some but it doesn't mean that is the right thing to do to begin with. Tiktok is a social network for anyone to join. If they allow anyone to join but only want the good looking people to post, how is that not the hypocritical thing to do?

I've asked someone who likes using tons of JavaScript before and the response I received was along the lines of "It saves developer time."

I don't get that one because in my experience, writing straight HTML is simpler than writing JavaScript. The real problem seems to be that many people today seem to have learned frontend web development through fancy JavaScript frameworks and don't know any other way. Since learning the simpler way to do it is more work, they don't bother. That's just my impression, however, and I don't have any hard data. Another possibility is that people want to learn the latest sexy technology and React/Angular/whatever people use these days is that.

I liked, also, the Dutch announcement, clearly and rationally made, as discussed here on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22604204
Can‘t speak for France but in Germany companies and self employed pre-pay taxes. Say you made 200k profit gross in 2018, it was your first year of operation. Your tax rate is 42%. We keep it simple, Freiberufler, no Gewerbesteuer.

You filed the tax return in May 2019. your tax gets calculated and you have to pay 84k. You will have to pay only in 2020. But here‘s the catch. Finanzamt will assume you operate throughout 2019 at the same level as 2018. so they take 2*84k as a pre-payment for 2019 from you AND every quarter of 2020 they ask you to pay a quarter of 84k as a pre-payment for 2020.

I assume they will not ask for those pre-payments. That will help a lot.
