The idea of the stable borders is so new. The Ottoman Empire still controlled much of the middle east before World War I. The British Empire was also still quite expansive at the beginning of that war (and into WW2). The fact that so much of the world speaks Latin-derived languages (French, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Italian...nearly 1 billion people in total) is a relic of the Roman empire's own expansive conquering of territory. Just over 150 years ago, Germany wasn't even a single nation state, but rather a collection of loose territories. Among the native americans themselves, there were constant warring, slavery, even human sacrifice and in some cases cannibalism.

And this is, for example, how the Iroquois treated prisoners of war:
"The captive would be executed after a day-long torture session of burning and removing body parts, which the prisoner was expected to bear with stoicism and nobility (an expectation not usually met) before being scalped alive. Hot sand was applied to the exposed skull and they were finally killed by cutting out their hearts. Afterward, the victim's body was cut and eaten by the community. The practice of ritual torture and execution, together with cannibalism, ended some time in the early 18th century."

For some reason, some people believe that whatever "borders" existed several hundred years ago should be brought forward to modern times. These folks consistently craft a narrative that paints the U.S. in a bad light while ignoring the very real crimes against humanity that occurred on practically every square foot of ground across the globe, going back thousands of years.

From a certain perspective, all of human history can be summed up as an endless series of blood feuds.
Billions have less value the farther into the future they are, unless you can take out a loan with it.
If you are below the radar you are still visible and detectable. If they have any reason to suspect you are coming they can send people outside to look, you are low enough to be easy to see. Give that person training with a gun and you can be shot down. (speed makes it harder, but it also means the pilot does in the crash before having time to realize anything is wrong)
> > One of the challenges of doing that nowadays is we have a president who thinks cultural genocide of Uighur muslims is 'absolutely the right thing to do' and that Tienanmen square massacre was also the right thing to do.

> Fake news much? See the 2020 Uyghur Rights Act [1]. I have no idea where you came up with this.

This claim originates in John Bolton's book [1] Make of it what you will. Personally it seems pretty consistent.

> At the opening dinner of the Osaka G-20 meeting in June 2019, with only interpreters present, Xi had explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang. According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do. The National Security Council’s top Asia staffer, Matthew Pottinger, told me that Trump said something very similar during his November 2017 trip to China.

Very true. Reason #361 for a UBI.
Depends on the jurisdiction. In Germany they do. Labor rights explicitly says that your employer needs to provide the means for you to do your work. And that includes mobile phones if they want you to access your work email (or whatever) from a mobile device.
Why so much talk about the ribbon? This article has nothing to say about that. This is about a Personal Edition and an Enterprise edition and how little revenue its actually coming in.

Basically, libre office won't be libre anymore. Looks like Enterprise is gonna have a commercial license.

By the way, I think the ribbon is far better than the ugly dropdown menus. It's also been over a decade since it was introduced. Some of yall are so resistant to change is bordering on zealotry. I hate to remind everyone about dropbox but dropbox.
Between this and streamers such as Ninja talking against the app, I do hope this signals the death knell for tik tok...
>For all of the pearl clutching about the morality and decency of this stuff it doesn't seem to be ruining society.

I won't blame free porn for this, but I mean have you looked at American society in recent months? It seems well on the path to being ruined.
Wouldn't be surprised if Google, Facebook, or Microsoft suddenly come out with a competing app. Didn't google have one that they shut down recently?
This seems unlikely. From your link:

> For example, Adam could refuse to do business with Bill after learning that Bill has a contract or business relationship with an organization that Adam finds morally distasteful. Adam knows that his business is worth more to Bill than the other organization's and that his refusal to deal is substantially certain to cause Bill to terminate his contractual or business relationship with the other organization. Since his motivation is not improper, Bill's actions would not satisfy a claim of tortious interference by the other organization.
That's the point the tribe is a separate nation by treaty. The tribe has the right to make legal laws and rules. We almost never actually recognize them but they do exist.
The "For You" page.

Sure its just another algorithmic-based feed. But in my experience (and from talking to a few ppl who enjoy TikTok), the For You page is a differentiator. It's like a combination of what's trending, what's recent (time wise), and what you've spent time interacting (watching, liking, commenting) with previously.

Again all platforms do some form of this, but just saying TikTok does it in a pretty addicting way.

Also combine that with the fact that TikTok videos are so incredibly short that by the time they're over, you haven't even decided whether or not you liked it (no doubt by design), which means you can endlessly consume content.

Also, I've heard that TikTok has better (read: better for comedy-style content) tools to edit videos in the app
I don't get why people are OK with a company being able to wipe a personal device on a whim. If you want full control of my mobile, then provide a mobile.
Ah bottom up control Mao would be pleased.
Yeah, you are right about this. Just thought about a personal setup, but getting it all up and running in enterprise scape will be more work than just a few flags
Probably not. Gen Z is already addicted to it. They like it more than all other social media apps from what I've seen.
Only if you thought the problem were that the standards of young men are too high.

I'd wager the problems are more related to self-confidence, the ease in which you can avoid social interactions, and the root issue that you don't get laid as a man until you learn how to approach and talk to women. Some men never even learn how.

The simple economics of sex (men having to pursue women, women being the selectors, just like in the rest of the animal kingdom) explains most of it.
Bytedance should just take the cash and spin off TikTok as a separate entity run by the new CEO Kevin Mayer. Perhaps selling the spin-off to Disney or Snapchat or Private Equity while its still worth something.

It's a shame the 64-bit port was never completed. WSL might never have needed to happen, although I confide it would have happened anyway.
I'm using Foodora in Sweden and sometimes I see the courier go to other places and they've even told me they had to do other drops (when I said "I saw you took the wrong way on the map"), so yes but I don't think they fake it here.
Why bother with Global Times? Why not go straight to the UN. Which countries support china's Xinjiang policy and which oppose? Notice which side most islamic countries are on? And which side the countries that have a muslim ban are on?

https://thediplomat.com/2019/07/which-countries-are-for-or-a...

It's so absurd! Not a single muslim majority country is against these supposed Xinjiang camps! Why do you think the USA suddenly cares about muslims?
Can one do this as an individual as well?
I'd concur, a colorblind approach would have detrimental effects to indigenous people. Colorblindness leads to ignorance and turns a blind eye to the past when working for a fair future. There's a great journal article on this exact subject:

Fryberg, S. A., & Stephens, N. M. (2010). When the world is colorblind, American Indians are invisible. Psychological Inquiry, 21, 115-119. doi: 10.1080/1047840X.2010.483847

Its the same reason that open work spaces aren't just productivity killers, they are creativity killers. Both require a rational thought process, randomly interjecting other ideas from the people chattering in the room rarely helps.
Yes, unfortunately. Makes impossible to work under unstable connections.

I hope Webasm enable porting at least some of the rendering code to client-side in the future.
"It only started a bit of a fire in this case" is obviously not a good argument, especially when the fire department showed up to contain it.

I'm sorry, but I have to pull rank about this, based on years of experience and god knows how many thousands of cases of dealing with this. The issue is the expected value of the subthread: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

If you're going to comment on a topic this inflammatory, you need to include way more flame retardant in your comment. Two helpful ways to do that are (1) be clear and explicit about your intent, and (2) speak about your own personal experience.
As nasty as something like this made them look, what is being discussed here makes it not unreasonable. They liked being partners with Allen but were worried about his heirs having control of their company as they might have taken it in a direction Allen wouldn't have approved.
Nice to hear that! Python was the only pearl missing in the otherwise beautiful necklace of freecodecamp.
I am 100% against anybody using TikTok for any reason. But if the government bans it, I will immediately start using it.
What a flawed stance to have on this. There are plenty of popular apps used in the US from other countries. Spotify immediately comes to mind, and they're not controlled by the CCP, an added bonus.

Interesting how this compares with the newer Linux Services for Windows.
I remember the early days of podcasts going commercial the group think was that they should be short. I believe companies like Discovery put out podcasts that were maybe 4 minutes tops. That thinking was just as oblivious.

It's not just functional languages. It's dynamic languages that tend to have a better REPL experience, because nearly the entire language can be used within the REPL, and nearly everything written in the REPL can be placed into conventional source files and used there without alteration.

Additionally, both languages you listed (Java and C#) are batch-oriented. They assume you're compiling large units of code (at least a whole source file, which in Java means the entire class and all its methods and constructors). Translating that to a REPL is challenging. You now have to leave class definitions open (which is not the normal Java behavior, a class cannot be altered without jumping through hoops outside its initial definition). So you make those hoops available via special REPL-only constructs, your REPL is no longer a Java REPL, it's a partial-Java REPL with additional things.

My primary REPL experiences have been with these languages: Python, Common Lisp, Erlang, Matlab.

2 of those are functional (as a primary part of their design, Common Lisp is multi-paradigm). Python has some functional elements, but is an OO/imperative language. And Matlab (at least when I used it) was definitely an imperative language.

But the thing they all have in common is that nearly every line of code could be moved between the REPL and a source file without alteration (Erlang is deficient here in that you can't define functions in the same way in the REPL as in the source code, and I think Matlab had the same issue but it's been 15 years).

Another thing that languages with a good REPL tend to have is a general trend towards being expression-oriented rather than statement oriented. What's the return value of an if statement in Java or C#? It doesn't have one, how would you interact with that in a REPL, then? In Common Lisp, if expressions return a value (the result of evaluating either the true or the false branch).
The discovery tab (For You) is awesome. Its the first social app where the discovery tab is better than your feed, so much more that you can actually use it without following anyone. It's quite addictive too, you can easily spend half an hour watching videos.

The way the discovery tab works also created a meta game: Alt TikTok, Deep TikTok, Elite TikTok, ...

The exclusivity aspect is there too, very few users are over 30, but it's not the driver.
They'll switch to something else just as soon as they took up TikTok in the first place.
Technically, probably very little.

Practically I think it's more diverse content and easier access to other people/fame/glamour for kids than Instagram, Snapchat, or even YouTube/Twitch/etc, since those platforms have been cornered by an existing group of "influencers."

It's probably just a different kind of dopamine hit that kids can't get elsewhere.
Well it's certified based on tribal membership, which is an actual, de jure status. When I wrote ethnicity I am just acknowledging that it's so closely tied to tribal membership that they are effectively the same.

I imagine the tribes can grant status to anyone they like as a sovereign nation, just like America can grant citizenship to whomever it decides.
ultimately we want randomness even if first part of our existences are about running away from it
For iOS you can use Apple Configurator for profile-based M2M. For remote management you need a server-based solution and I believe there's an open-source implementation of that out there.

I wouldn't buy into this IPO. The problem is rackspace doesn't really have much of a moat and the space is highly competitive.
Depends on which language pairs you try. Google does a very good job with several European languages. English to Norwegian and back often returns almost the same as the original.

For instance the text above became:

Avhenger av hvilke språkpar du prøver. Google gjør en veldig god jobb med flere europeiske språk. Engelsk til norsk og tilbake returnerer ofte nesten det samme som originalen.

Which returned this English text:

They fight what they can't understand.
I think the idea is that Rackspace wants to focus on a different target audience than AWS, and hence has a different sales process.

Programming in the REPL is something I do all the time and generally enjoy, but I sometimes feel like the actual design of the program then becomes too focused around REPL usage. Too much abstraction can harm performance and waste time. The REPL encourages this by making you think about the internals of your program as an interface that will actually get used, when in reality some function may get called twice ever from within your own code, and isn't really meant to be exposed. But because you are repeatedly invoking it manually via the REPL, it feels like an interface worthy of considerable design.

Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. I've just noticed this tendency in myself when working in REPLs. Not every part of your program is an API.
Political correctness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. For all the right likes to bitch about cancel culture, they are always the ones who go: "you just lost a fan/customer!"
And, anyway, this would only argue for giving them an option, not for giving nobody the option of working full time. 25% is not a small number
Does a greater amount of more varied type somehow make it more damaging?

I should point out that very explicit pornographic content that is now taboo in our society including bestiality, incest, and so on has existed for thousands of years. I'd much rather my kids be looking at pornhub than some of the things the Greeks and Romans were making...

Jeff Bezos, Amazon CEO, got his phone hacked and embarrassing text messages stolen off it from a vulnerability in the video parsing library in WhatsApp in a message sent to him by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in 2018. So Amazon as a company is now very sensitive to what applications are installed on staff devices and how data on those devices can be extracted from vulnerabilities in other installed apps. This may be an outcome of that.

From what I know of ppl who work there, they pay for employees phone plans (is they pay for a phone).
to be honest I am on the side that thinks asking 2FA to disable 2FA is not necessary, now I read my comment again, it sounds like I was on other side.

on both cases, password change and 2FA disable, it is asking password (but not 2FA)

So I think when you are logged in it is 1st factor, 2nd one is password. No need for 3rd one.
It isn't like 2000 though. These tech IPOs are real companies, with real products, real customers and real businesses. The 2000s had companies going public that were just based on an IDEA. Literally...."we're raising funds in this IPO to build xyz website/service."

Most tech IPOs these days have at the very least already been vetted through venture capital funding rounds. The weak simply don't get funded at an early stage.
"dramatic", "pessimistic".. Hey, isn't it beautiful to have less dense human populations and more room for nature? I mean it's not as if humans were an endangered species
"Continuously sharing and negotiating" is a wild ride of a euphemism. It's like writing that the Mamluks and Ottomans continuously shared and negotiated a couple of peninsulas. It's true, but what it doesn't say is incredible.
Could you clarify what you don't believe? You don't believe that "Vocational Education and Training Centers" exist, or you don't believe that they are internment camps, or you do believe in them existing but don't believe in the scale of how many hundreds of thousands of people have been in them?
This map should really have some dates on it. It might represent the state of things within, say, a 100 year period (or so) of European arrival, but it doesn't convey the history of humans in North America. I read the FAQ and could not find any information on what time period is represented here. If someone showed you a map of Europe or China marked out like this, it would be natural to ask "when is this?"

None of that does anything to ameliorate the genocide that was perpetrated against the people living in the Americans when europeans travelled and then settled here. But it's also important not to portray the prior 10k years or more of human settlement in the Americas as static and unchanging.
You can patch it all.

If world does not match your view it may be you who is outlier. I quite like current convention - hidden files in $HOME belong to applications. There is value in $XDG_CACHE_HOME - it can be safely removed (like /var/cache).

You force your view on open source community, that is rather bad.
Turkey reconverts Istanbul's Hagia Sophia museum into a mosque
I think they all failed for the same reason, video is expensive and the markets can't pick a winner when the game can't be won without money.

But if the Chinese government wants to prop up TikTok and pick them as the winner, they can.
Do those three ever truly come out with something new, or do they just buy up existing tech?
The idea that the US Confederacy was about anything other than slavery is utterly farcical after just a cursory reading of primary sources from that era. Not the least of which is The Cornerstone Speech, an oration given by Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens in Savannah, Georgia, on March 21, 1861.

The key excerpt is this, “Its [The Confederacy’s] foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth”

Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornerstone_Speech

Some other good primary sources are the states’ own declarations of succession. Here’s the opening paragraphs from Mississippi’s:

“In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin.”

Source: http://www.civilwar.com/resources/government/confederate-sta...

The other states’ declarations all contain similar language. This isn’t oral history, editorial, or “spin”. These are official government documents that are widely available.

People who put forth that the US Civil War was not primarily about slavery, that the Confederacy’s own self-declared foundations were anything other than the subjugation of humans based on their race, are either ignorant or arguing in bad faith.

Speaking only for myself, but the ribbon interface helped me learn the majority of keyboard shortcuts I use today.

Once I leveled up past basic Ctrl+C/V/X, hitting Alt and having the Ribbon UI guide me through the shortcut combinations was helpful. I concede Control+Shift+V is easier, but having a visual guide until I finally memorize all the different paste options with ALT H V has it's merits as well.
