Tiktok's parent company, bytedance is incorporated in Cayman islands. It has a Chinese subsidiary operating Douyin in China , and a US subsidiary operating Tiktok in the US. The Chinese national intelligence law is applied to the Chinese subsidiary but not the parent because the parent is not incorporated in China. Hence the US subsidiary is not subjected to Chinese law. If Chinese government demands US data and Bytedance's Chinese subsidiary refuses, the government can shut down the Chinese subsidiary, but the Cayman island parent will still operate. Hence Chinese government has no power over the US subsidiary. Author says that Chinese values and American values are absolutely opposing and because of that Tiktok's algorithms and product design could undermine American values either consciously or unconsciously. Right now Bytedance's US subsidiary is managed by Americans, hires US based engineers, and the content moderation team is staffed with Americans. The goal should be that Tiktok and Douyin will be separate, design, operated and moderated separately. This could be strengthened by having American management at Bytedance parent, and have Bytedance go public and have American board directors. I hope that whatever international fears about Tiktok, the regulatory body/government should make list of rules for Tiktok. Tiktok should be given a chance to defend its positions, and ability to comply with the rules. We should not just straight out ban tiktok, like "bam, after today, its removed from app stores everywhere". that is not in the spirit of rule of law.

>and you support millions

I'll be amazed if Arch has a million users. Our napkin math using steam user statistics put us on around 500k-600k users.
this all seems reasonable on paper, but why does it _feel_ like it's going to be a failure?

Maybe I've seen to many instances where a non-tech company tries to run a tech company.
Some commission plans have a "windfall" clause where very large deals (anything over x% of your quota) goes to a review process. The sales person then negotiates internally for the most commission possible while the company negotiates to pay an amount acceptable to the sales person while being just large enough to keep them happy but not so large they retire.
That explains why Germany makes best cars in the world.

Honestly from a cable operator (Comcast/shaw/charter/whatever type company) I'd rather have only 100Mbps and more than three nines uptime over a one year period, than gigabit and something more flaky. Quality of network engineeeing and how much battery backup and generator protection is put into last mile and middle mile docsis3/3.1 networks varies widely.
You could spend a few hours making a 3D print of that bottle to produce a very believable mock-up. And then use it with someone gullible to make a deal on an order to manufacture a million of them. You get your commission on the sale, toss the 3D print to your manufacturing engineer, and let them know the customer needs delivery next week.
> the new, much higher TDP is not welcome news.

The TDP is (in part) because the Epyc IO die consumes roughly 100W by itself. You can still cool a Threadripper on air though.
I can barely get 1-2 people to briefly look at my stream, and that’s without attempting to charge them anything at all. And meanwhile even popular people stream for free. Why should anyone pay upfront to watch a stream? Much better with Patreon, Twitch subscriptions and donations while allowing anyone to come see.

Seems like there are several concerns: the journal, a question of whether the FB usage agreement permitted such a report from being published, and generally whether it is ethical (separate from the review board question). Some more discussion:

It's true, and it's sad but that's just how it works. Unless a country is attacked, it's very hard to find justification to intervene in the internal affairs of another country. That said, once war is inevitable, the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge made Vietnam understand that such a regime cannot be allowed to be left alone, both for the sake of the Vietnamese and Cambodian people.
I see a similar problem in the vegan movement, with people going vegan only to be told that they're not doing enough due to owning a car with a leather steering wheel, or buying coconut oil that contributes to destruction of orangutan habitats.
It can match other options for speed, but what about speed/price?
There is a link to the answer right on the page under "Editorial Expression of Concern". This answers how it bypassed an ethics council: https://www.pnas.org/content/111/29/10779.1
Is that 2 or 3 dimensions?
The problem, as I pointed out elsewhere, is that the post makes very few constructive comments and presents a lot of opinions and assertions without justification or reasoning, making it extremely hard to actually make meaningful comments about. As someone else pointed out, if it were an HN comment, it would be flagged.

I don’t agree that this is a statement about complexity, so much as it is a rant about the author being inconvenienced by technology they personally deem pointless and unnecessary. If the CoreOS comments aren’t a sufficient red flag, the HTTP/2 ones really ought to be. Also, some etcd users debate their assertions about newer versions being more complex internally. On the other hand, its difficult to argue with overly cynical type attitudes.

Painting with a broad brush based on small sample sizes (exactly what you are doing) is exactly what you are complaining about. There are tons of people who call Trump's words and actions "fascist" despite not being "progressive"/"liberal".

There are people on the "political right" who have been complaining about the "liberal agenda" the same way conspiracy theorists talk about the "jewish agenda". I'm not accusing you of it, but it frequently sounds the same in the tiny bites of content that exist in social media.

I, personally, think the biggest problems with the human mind on social media involve:

- an assumption of bad faith when another commenter fails to be precise about "there exists" and "for every"
- trolling works because we humans frequently can't disable our ego when it is attacked (rightfully or otherwise)
I'm not sure about that, I've seen many states with 65mph and 75mph highway speed limits ... but you might be thinking about the drinking age, which was raised to 21 years in all states by withdrawing highway funds if they did not pass such laws: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Minimum_Drinking_Age_...
While it may be move convincing, the hope is for people to see that these rights exist for a reason and that even in the presence of mortal outrage, they should still be defended. Because someone out there, is morally outraged at the way you live your life and would make something illegal that you do if they could. That is the whole point of the bill of rights and the amendments. Is to guarantee a base level of freedom no matter how the winds change. I don't understand why that is so hard for people to get. Maybe it's because I am older and boy have I seen the winds change, but it only takes one swing away from your viewpoint to understand how important they are.

This is great, thanks for pointing this out; I had jumped through a bunch of hoops trying out various camera streaming setups (RTMP mostly, held off on looking at NDI because I only wanted the additional camera angle for laughs), but I never got the latency under multiple seconds. I saw some people suggesting that wifi was causing the latency so I looked up some lightning->ethernet adapters before coming to my senses.

OBS recognized my iphone as a video source with zero configuration, and zero latency (ish? low enough that I can't tell).
That's not the issue imo, the issue is how many intelligent comments we miss because someone with insight to add figures it's not worth it and doesn't share it in the first place.

"If Chinese government demands US data and Bytedance's Chinese subsidiary refuses, the government can shut down the Chinese subsidiary, but the Cayman island parent will still operate. Hence Chinese government has no power over the US subsidiary."

The issue is the Chinese government can compel it's citizens to do whatever they want. Having non-Chinese in the management of Bytedance could help but I can't imagine they could have a truly independent board if Bytedance is majority owned by Chinese citizens.
> in theory little ML expertise is required to use the system

Maybe I'm just a cynical data scientist, but this is how we get people using and interpreting models that they don't necessarily understand the complexities of. If some data violates an underlying assumption or has some complexities around representation and meaning then there's nothing really stopping someone getting a model that appears to fit correctly but gives answers that are meaningless or just wrong.
As has been pointed out on every Starlink thread, problem isn't latency or speed, it's contention. Each satellite only has 20gbit/sec per beam of capacity. It's likely even in small cities that will not be enough (it's only 1-3k users streaming Netflix for example). There is no way you can connect a city of even 100k people with 20gig/sec of capacity these days, never mind major metro areas many times that size.

Elon Musk has admitted this himself, and the problem gets worse over time (bandwidth requirements grow every year, but satellites capacity is fixed), so the 20gbps they have now will seem even more limited in 3-5 years when the satellites are becoming EoL.

This is not to say that Starlink is fundamentally flawed, it has great potential for rural access.
You should see what the QRSS guys are doing down in the noise floor.
Thanks. The article initially read as if people had held their stock as if it was an investment and are mad they didn't sell to cover the tax bill sooner. After your explanation it is much clearer.

tl;dr Uber accelerated vesting of employee grants so that they happened during the lockout period. Also they could have proactively taken more out to cover taxes for the employee but chose instead to take the minimum out.
No worries, you still get points for your effort :) (s/Francaise/français/)

This also surprised me, hence the "hard to anticipate" bit in the linked post. I guess it stems from multiple factors: high voltage lines being very long, high above ground, and crossing remote areas that might be hunting grounds. Plus, some prey might actually rest on the wires or pylons.

I should have written "lead shot" instead of "bullets", as that's a better translation. Such ammunition is commonly used for shooting birds, that can be located in front of or behind the lines. Fiber twisted around the cable also increases its cross-section.

It's actually quite likely that they often hit other things, but not human ones (stats say ~140 hunt accidents per year on average there, ~15 deadly, ~20 non-hunters). The cross section of high voltage lines present during hunts on hunting grounds is likely bigger than the human one. Plus, hunters tend not to fire at people or in their general direction, while they don't care about HV lines.
I don't see why they couldn't just leave the old print statement in place so it wouldn't break as much code as it did.

But regime change often means history is changed. Some Chinese dynasties did their best to erase the history of their former challengers.

I ran into this idea when researching the history of tea. It can be easily traced back until you reach a point in the time-line where a god-like dynasty founder made tea sua sponte. Prior history having been deliberately erased by the proponents of the anointed inventor of tea made it impossible to research further, even though there would have been written records otherwise.

This (and parent) is interesting to read considering the effort France has been putting into transitioning various government services to matrix in order to take advantage of the end to end encryption it offers. Seems they probably agree with a lot of these points!
demagoguery is just beyond the fine line...
The idea of doing predictive ML inside of, say, MySQL, sounds tremendously appealing. E.g. if you could add something like a "predictive index" that would model one column based on certain other columns, and with a variety of "prediction types" (just like choosing index types of b-tree, hash, etc.).

Although instead of a SELECT statement on existent rows, you'd need to use something like a PREDICT statement on non-existent rows:

PREDICT product_category
FROM invoice_data
WHERE item_description = "Packaging design"
AND vendor_code = "VENDOR-1676"

The big question for me, however, would be: when would the predictive model be updated? It seems too computationally expensive to update it on every UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE. I mean, if it's of any decent complexity, it would require a full table read every time it was updated, no? Would you have to manually issue a command to update it? How long would that take?

But it absolutely seems like a very natural place to predictive capabilities -- directly into the database.

Wireless edge infrastructure is probably a higher value target than FTTC cabinet infra.
You don't need lateral movement within the network to access it/enter your backdoor, it can provide you location information of people nearby, and bricking a wireless device denies service to more people than a FTTC cabinet.
Well you don't put my farther-in-law in a death camp at 16 years old and have him escape out a sewer pipe and run a mine-field to Guantanamo for starters. I don't think the US was involved in those death camps last time I checked.

In my case, I did buy lululemon men's clothes*. I got a gift card via my yoga studio and used it towards a nice men's tech shirt. But then I sprung for some soft and durable boxer briefs. They had a whole wall of fancy shorts with liners, but they don't seem much better in practice than running shorts from other brands. I also once used a voucher for a free Lululemon yoga mat via a charity event.
Yes, I wear them, they make dress pants you can wear to work but it feels like you are almost wearing athletic pants . Really good product in my opinion
Plenty good, yes. But if you already have decent service, you’re not likely to be an early adopter of this. I live in a decently sized Midwestern city with fiber available. I’m not going to switch over to Starlink. However, my father, who lives in a rural area, has had to work with a) satellite or b) LTE internet. He is going to switch over to this in a heartbeat.

At least initially, this is going to primarily be a rural and/or mobile warrior type of service.

And I don’t believe those latency figures at all until I see them working in the wild. It will be significantly better than geosynchronous satellite service, but the question is by how much.
Unfortunately, our current society tends to favor short returns on investment...

I'm about to graduate from UWaterloo now and have only had 2 courses with attendance - language courses. I really liked the option of going to classes when I wanted as I found that end up being on my laptop during class anyway.

Two CS courses(1st year) had a clicker thing going on where you had to answer questions and it'd be worth 5% of the grade. Some courses also had a key chunk of info taken out of the pdfs so as to incentivize going to class. I definitely wasn't a big fan, but it wasn't hard to learn about the topics from other university's notes available online

Toyota (and subsidiaries like Lexus) serve a wide array of customers and demographics. Even with decreasing sales, they should drive net income that will match net revenues for Tesla this year.

In what way does the US have unfair mercantilist policies?
60 million accounts are following them, I doubt it is 60 million individual people. In reality, probably far less.
Ok. Example: Food gatherers in Melenesia. They have no ruling authority and are considered egalitarian according to given anthropological definition.

In the animal kingdom, elephants and lionesses(not lions) are egalitarian. Egalitarianism can only exist if the society is already at the top of the food chain. Size matters.(the females also have smaller litters)

Resources must be easily available and they don’t have fight over it. Lionesses have lions maintaining the hierarchy.

The opposite of egalitarianism in animal society is that of hyenas. They have a caste system like hierarchy. They are scavengers. Their litters are larger than say..big cats or pachyderms. Resource denied and have to scheme rather than cooperate(another egalitarian necessity)

Egalitarianism is only possible when there is no competition for resources or scarcity of resources, no threats and a small elite population.

If I were to hazard a guess: They can also be found in matriarchal societies with a warrior male populace. War like societies/tribes/groups face higher mortality and cooperation amongst females is crucial to propagate their species/race/gene pool.

No exact clue, to be honest. I am a fairly experienced programmer and I am looking to branch out into serious data research and simulations of many sorts (network topologies with 1,000,000+ nodes in a simulated internet, being one example).

Basically I am looking to shoot many birds with one stone when I decide to buy my next Linux workstation, even if it ends up costing $30,000+. And for the kinds of research work I am interested in, a ton of RAM seems to be a boon.

But it's more like some paranoid future proofing sentiment than anything else right now.

> Also they could have proactively taken more out to cover taxes for the employee but chose instead to take the minimum out.

They didn't do this for the same reason - they were paying for the withheld taxes themselves.
> Paraphrasing, but there's basically two ways to write code: either it's so complicated there are no obvious deficiencies, or it's so simple there are obviously no deficiencies.

Anyone who's seen an enterprise Java codebase knows there's a third way: so verbose that no-one can tell whether there are any deficiencies, even if each line in isolation is "simple".

I think we vastly underestimate the importance of sheer code length. Being able to comprehend the function, class, or program as a whole makes a lot more difference than whether nested ternaries or the like were used, IME.
