A quote:
TikTok app permissions include personal information and device control

First, our researchers examined the permissions TikTok requires on Android and iOS devices following installation. While some of the permissions detailed below are to be expected, all of this is consistent with TikTok’s written privacy policy. However, when you see all that TikTok gathers it can still be of concern. In summary, these permissions allow TikTok to:

Access the camera (and take pictures/video), the microphone (and record sound), the device’s WIFI connection, and the full contact list on the device
Determine if the internet is available and access it
Keep the device turned on and automatically start itself when the device restarts
Secure detailed information on the user’s location using GPS and other apps that are running
Read and write to the device’s storage, install/remove shortcuts, access the flashlight (turn it off and on), request additional installation packages
Our researchers found that TikTok has full access to the audio, video, and address book on the device, which isn’t surprising given that TikTok is an audio-visual app by design.

However, the GPS tracking is surprising, especially as TikTok videos don’t obviously display location information. TikTok does call out their collection of location information in their privacy policy.

Recap:
TikTok does not need to be collecting contact and location data from my kids or any of our devices. This vacuuming up of information at scale reveals the relationships between people and a lot more. And that is my main problem. TikTok is way more than just a video app, its spyware.

Will I be able to interface with all the huge amount of available java libraries? I could interface with C/C++ but there's already a ffi story (as ugly as it is) with the jvm.

I think part of the appeal of rust and go and new languages is the ability to leave a mark, rewrite or port or rethink an existing library in the new language...

I've never been in a casino playing cash poker games that would allow someone to sit with an app on their phone calculating odds. Most wouldn't allow you to be using your phone at all if you are in the hand, some wouldn't allow phones at the table at all. And even if they did allow it, you would look like a moron.

So yes, I consider it cheating.

If you couldn't get away with it in a real game at a table, it's cheating IMO.

Part of the skill of poker is being able to work out those odds in real time, when money is on the line.
Discourse has this too. The author mentions discounting this due to the primary focus on linear discussion.
All governments are unstable. The best we can hope for is they do the most good for the longest amount of time. The better a government does, the more its population tends to assume that it’s impossible for their government to fail, and they don’t guard against it, instead choosing convenience (and properly federated government is the opposite of convenient).

I think you might be misinterpreting him. When I read that, "full of stuff" meant old tickets, process that you had to go to, etc. Slow =/= app performance but general cruft.

I don't think he literally meant that the app's performance was slowed down by the volume of tickets. I don't think Jira's performance gets much worse even with 10,000s of tickets in it.

The baseline performance of the web app is just baseline bad though.

I agree with you! As I said lower down in my comment:

> Of course, we can't just abolish copyright with no replacement; it's certainly necessary to reward the creation of this work somehow.

I absolutely believe that we need to pay the creators of [what we would currently call] copyrighted works somehow. I'm just not convinced that the best way to do that is with a "per-consumer" cost. I go on to discuss some alternatives that still reward creators, but reduce some of the harmful impacts of copyright. I'll readily admit that I haven't thought those ideas through that much, but that's a far cry from completely failing to consider that creators need to be paid, as you seem to be implying I did.
Ask HN: Is VC fundraising considered a partial sale of the company?
TLDR: I was employee at a startup that gave me equity and secretively clawed it back then fired me few months later. Is the law around "sale of company" established to be a full sale of company or can it be a partial sale (e.g. equity to VCs)? Can I effectively pursue legal action against the startup?

I've worked at the startup before they had major traction and had equity as part of the my compensation with a 4 year vesting period. After my equity has fully vested and before the company publicly announced a major round of VC fundraising (first round ever), the company asked me to sign a new agreement without any equity. I was sent the a new employment contract at 9am and was asked to sign it by 5pm during a busy work day. I didn't have enough time to carefully review its terms or seek advice of counsel. Few months later, the startup fired me, so I curiously reviewed my 2 employment and noticed that the equity clause was missing from the new agreement, thus sparking this question.

Under the old employment contract, the terms of the equity were that I had to be a full-time employee at the time of "sale of company". Does partial sale of company (e.g. equity) to VCs count as "sale of company" and thus trigger a bonus for me?

Please ask clarifying questions if you need more details before providing an answer. I greatly appreciate your advice.
I'm not so sure we're seeing the decline of the American world so much as the ascendency of the rest of world. After World War 2 there wasn't an industrialized country left, except for the US. There's no reason why China can't regain it's rightful place as a center of culture and commerce. I just hope their ascendency goes better than the rise of Germany in the early 1900's.
Three things I recommend:

1 - Read lots of things unrelated to your field of study. Read about flowers, or art history, or music theory.

2 - Take long walks, get away from the screens and distractions. Walk some place that stimulates thought, like in nature, or in a city, or by a river. Skip the treadmill or places like malls that demand your attention. You need a place to allow your mind to wonder and to process/organize the info you read about.

3 - Dream, in a very literal sense. Do you ever remember those moments right before you fell asleep where your mind gets a bit too creative. Harness that. It has been said that Edison would take naps in a chair with heavy ball bearings in his hand. Right when he was just about to be asleep his hands naturally relaxed and dropped the bearings on the floor waking him. Quickly, he would pop up and recollect on dreams/ideas he just had. Use a similar technique to your advantage, see what randomness your mind designs.
It’s one reason we’ve had trouble solving climate change (I wouldn’t go so far as to say we can’t).

Two more reasons:

1. It’s a classic tragedy of the commons, where many actors, at the individual, corporate, and national level, have incentives to worsen the problem even if nearly everyone would benefit if they all behaved differently.

2. The climate is a complex system, so it’s hard to educate the public about how it works, and easy for bad faith actors or pseudoscientific cranks to obfuscate the discussion.
Thank you for making the world a better place through your valiant activism.

> You are not given any of the context of what happened in these situations...You can read "Police showed up and fired tear gas and agitated the crowd and caused violence", but you're not told WHY they fired tear gas. You're not given the context as to what happened.

Oh, it's you again. I remember you from the previous thread where you said similar things in the face of piles of evidence. Hi. Here's a post. Not for you, because you don't read or respond to evidence in good faith, but maybe for someone else...

Here are two full-length filled-with-context videos of the police fucking up a crowd of people in Seattle without provocation.

First is an aerial view of Seattle PD spraying, bombing, and gassing a crowd of peaceful protesters with zero provocation. It starts with one cop trying to steal (theft) a protester's pink umbrella (destroying their private property in the process. whoops, I wonder who will pay for that?) and then the cops next to him start pepper spraying the crowd that was literally just standing still chanting. Then they shoot explosives into the crowd. Then they shoot gas.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comments/gv0ru3/this_is_the...

Not sure what you saw? You saw a cop attempt to rob a protester resulting in the destruction of their private property. Then you saw a person trying to hold onto their property as they're pulled over the fence because a cop just assaulted them. Then you saw the police immediately start spraying and bombing and gassing, with the flimsiest excuse, an entire crowd of people for the horrendous crime of peaceful assembly.

Second is the same scene up close and personal. The action begins at 26:30 where the person filming explains how to recognize that the police planned to initiate violence from the start.

Again, this isn't for you, because you don't faithfully read responses or watch the videos. But who knows, maybe someone else does.

Missing context implies that their failure to provide it was an oversight. There was not even an attempt at providing context here, because doing so would be unpopular.
>>The bourgeoisie in Europe accumulated the capital required to start industrialization through their slave colonies. This isn't up for debate.

The trends leading to industrialization, like the steady accumulation of technology, and rise in productivity, started in Europe long before European states acquired colonies and engaged in the slave trade.

This is 100% up for debate. Please don't try to discourage debate.

>It is indeed the case that the British started supporting abolition when it became clear that they could exploit cheap free labor in their colonies more effectively than slave labor at that time in their development,

I've seen absolutely no evidence of that. There were orthogonal social forces leading to abolition, like the rising influence of the Quakers.

> HUMANS ARE NOT PERFECT ROBOTS.

> And I'm not sure why this is a controversial opinion.

I think by asking them to stand for election you make them less perfect and amplify their flaws, because they have to appeal to some sector. Do they appeal to left-wing extremes, or right-wing extremes? They can't easily target both. They can't just do what they think is right. They have to pander to some niche.

Plainly applying the law doesn't win votes.

The only people who will votes are those who promise to twist it to some extreme.

The author is incorrect, or at least misleading. People get colds in Antarctica quite often or they certainly used to:

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/epidemiology-and-inf...

Though bear in mind the obvious - people get infected when they allow in outsiders like contractors, wintering staff arriving, tourists, etc. Over winter when you're in isolation there's nowhere for viruses to come from and the infection rate drops. Remote stations would probably also proactively get people to isolate so the whole crew doesn't come down with the lurgy at once.

It's not that your immune system is better, you just have a much smaller social network. Wintering staff are generally in good health anyway (the medical is extensive) which probably helps a bit. You also get a mandatory flu jab (this is not normal in my country unless you're old).

Once you get back into the general population, you pick up all the seasonal colds that you missed.

Edit: also check those references!

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
-George Orwell

Less snidely, it seems like these cries for 'we need more context!' stretch further and further into absurdity. The example of police assaulting the old man give us all of the context we need, but people attempt to justify it by taking victim blaming behavior to the extreme.

The police have all the tools they need to dispel these stories. Conveniently, they seem to turn them off when the story doesn't go in their favor. And even with context, none of it justifies the police's behavior.
I am not replying to disagree with the spirit of your comment. I just think you should be a bit more careful thinking about it. Obviously she was not jailed for a crime she didn't commit and wasn't convicted of; she was jailed for a crime she did commit and was convicted of. The question is psychological though, about whether the sentencing decision, within the in murky realm of discretion, was based purely on facts completely bound by the scope of the conviction, or whether it extended beyond the scope of the conviction. And the answer is, it always extends beyond the scope of the conviction.

I ask you again to just use your imagination; set aside this particular case and imagine a case where there is absolutely compelling grounds for thinking that the mother is a direct harm to her children, but no admissible evidence to establish that in a legal context. So given the legal "room" to hand down a harsher-than-would-otherwise-be sentence for some separate offense, that doesn't strike me as totally inappropriate or out of line with our expectations about what judges should do. This of course requires the legal establishment of the "room" for judges to do such things, but they have that to a large extent.
Depends what you want to make. A personal site is just that; personal. No one can really say you're wrong to build it a certain way or say it shouldn't be too simple/fancy.

If I had to give any advice though, it'd be to think about what you want your personal site to do or demonstrate. Do you want to list your blog posts/articles/essays? Then maybe consider something a bit simpler in terms of design, with a focus on readability and loading times. Are you a designer/artist who wants to show off their skills? Then you'll probably want a fancier looking site with pictures/videos/demos of your work front and centre, like a portfolio.

And if you're a programmer/software engineer who wants to demonstrate that, go all out with the fancy tech and use your HTML/CSS/JavaScript skills to make something flashy. Remember seeing a developer portfolio/personal site posted here before which played out like a 2D platformer level, which was quite interesting.

Either way, it's your site, and the target audience/purpose of said site matters.

My rule is that the phrase "X is the Nth leading cause of death among group Y" is only used to make this seem a lot worse than it is.

Note that this says nothing about how many actually die from X. And what is the Nth leading cause, depends entirely on how you classify causes.

The leading cause of death could be 80% of deaths or 4%. But most people will read probably the phrase as "more than half of deaths".
> And your "crowdfunded patronage" model is still copyright, it's just copyright with a different revenue model.

I was thinking it would go something like this:

I write a book. I decide that I want to make $100,000 from the book, so I put up a Kickstarter for that much. Once it hits the goal, I release the book into the public domain. Before then, I don't publish the book at all.

Unless your definition of "copyright" is much broader than mine, I don't think it's involved in that process.

1: Illegal wildlife trade, 2: Habitat destruction, 3: Invasive species, 4: Pollution, 5: climate change.

The other ones I am more unsure about. I would had guessed that Netherlands status as a rich country came from their past as a colonial empire, but it might be correct that it is because their current status as an massive exporter of farmed food. That statement is likely scope dependent.

I'd agree with lockdown if it didn't mean draconian measures for uncertain rewards. Precisely because we don't have any clue about it's effectiveness and now know quite a bit about the effects and prevalence of the disease - I think something so drastic should be less accepted.
