Us companies like Facebook and Twitter had a chance to operate in China as long as they were willing to follow local laws/policies; they were banned because they didn’t want to cooperate.
On the other hand, TikTok seems willing to obey us laws and is bringing its team/data center into the us. Banning TikTok in spite of that sounds similar to injecting disinfectant for COVID
Very much that. Beijing is running out of big "American" companies it can retaliate against.

No Facebook in China, no Tviter in China, all major American brands are effectively franchises, or joint ventures, so they will be shooting their own business in the foot.

They can of course order those Chinese joint venture owners to appropriate the American stake in their corporate entities, but those state never been high to begin with, with Chinese JV sides always trying to exfiltrate equity out of them.

Out of big fish, pretty much the only one remaining is Apple, which owns very little in China, but will be crippled if being denied access to Chinese contract manufacturers.
It's definitely a good idea. Companies seem to do equity raises when they perceive their stock price as overvalued. Musk has outright said this when their stock price was even lower too. The question will be if they need to do one though.
Global, unless other countries ban an app that US can use to spy on them.
Don’t think it’ll change with Biden. The rhetoric level may change, but the overall sentiment is quite bipartisan and public opinion of China right now in America is awful.

Also, the US can just ban it tomorrow and it’ll disappear.
I don't know if it's "crazy" that 1 person (if it's indeed just 1 person) can ban an app. After all political/judicial/comercial orders to ban things happen all the time.

I think it's more telling that 1 decision can be effective actually banning it - considering that there are so many things/services that are banned and yet available online, the fact that this hypothetical ban be effective, says more for the tech stack of this app/service than for the actually political/commercial decision to ban it.
Is not the category of it Photosynthesis? Internally the environment of Blue spruce is the evolutionary standard of Green, not Blue. The blue perception would also reflect a Blue perception of photosynthesis standard.

Are these supposed to be replacement of Satellite Phones? If I have a cheap Gbps connection or a cheaper 100 Mbps mobile connection, am I still a target customer?
I don't think the US is necessarily doing it permanently. Likely this is a short term geopolitical tactic to get China to play a little fairer on the field. It was always weird how this double standard existed where China would block Western companies but demand free access to Western markets. This is just tit for tat. Also, I don't think this is a "Trump" thing (although he has accelerated the process), relations between the US and China were already on the decline starting with Obama's first term.

I don't think it will be successful, I think China has made it very clear they will continue to play the US time and time again until they are dominant. The CCP will accept nothing but that. But that's the thinking behind the current moves.
Well, sure. But similarly, most people today would agree that Tumblr was not worth nearly 1.1 billion when Yahoo bought it.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
Yeah, unfortunately the entire javascript ecosystem is ridiculously over-engineered.

In my day, all you needed was a text editor. Now you need a package manager and an abritrarily deep dependency tree of libraries, a complex toolchain and a test framework to write Hello World... often in another language that gets compiled into javascript.

It was a simple, almost elegant language. You looked at a JQuery module, and you could understand it, modify it on your own, and use it without needing to understand the quirks of sixteen distinct build systems that would just be obsolete by next month. No one could delete a repository and break your software. There wasn't a single company and a single package manager basically controlling everything. There was competition and innovation and...

I'll be in the angry dome if anyone needs me.
China is a communist regime. They can do whatever the hell they want, why would american companies spend any time conforming to their demands when they can pull the rug out from under them at any time. Also, they would be under their total control forever.
They seem to, but then if you had bought Tesla shares the day they announced the raise, you would be looking at a huge speculative gain in your investment.
I understand that, what i don't understand is why do people consider deleting a number so important. No matter how was it obtained, it's just a number and deleting it doesn't benefit anyone. (Arguably leaving it online may even help, as it will make new videos of the same kind less profitable.)

Hopefully in a few years, when neural nets will be able to generate such videos with anyone, people will stop obsessing over deleting numbers.
Wow, that does suck. Imagine them doing the same thing with ARM.

Owned by the CCP therefore not capable of following US law.
It is pretty discouraging to see this kind of censorship happening. The article seems reasonable and if you disagree, good for you, argue about it or just get over it.

This whole woke stuff/cancel culture reminds me of the little red book waving youngsters during the cultural revolution in China.

Very scary to see this happening again.

The fact that this can be so easily be removed, suggest that the algorithm for flagging is not very good and needs to be improved.

As said above, discuss instead hide behind your cancel button.
Are there an pre-set dimensions/settings for iPhone apps? What I'd really like is just easy exporting of all screenshots and the video thumbnail.
I know there's a lot of tools that do this already but there's always room for new effects/styles. Thanks
Thinking that US market forces will open the chinese market after decades of failing to have that effect seems rather naive.

This is basically all that modern computers are; a giant circuit and a clock to keep sending a "do the next thing" signal.

Is it a stretch to say that "1: perform this list of multiplications and additions. 2: GOTO 1" cannot be called a FHE system?
then tiktok may simply provide a web version. Will US build some kind of firewall?
Active versus passive approach
U.S. cancer treatment is the best in the world. The greatest research, innovation and results[1] happen in America. These are products of American Society. American Society is actually pretty good at fighting this disease.

We devote huge resources to preventing, diagnosing and treating and have made great progress. The CAR T-Cell innovations are very promising and American research is making it work.

Families often face tragedy but U.S. Medicine is leading the world in this fight.

Thats exactly whats happening. If magnet was to loose its magnetic properties, you would have one time use cooker with permanent "non magnet" ofter first batch. Metal above certain temperature also is not attracted by magnet.
Except they don't provide adequate mental health care even with the parity law. It takes about a month for your consultation and they funnel everybody into group therapy and/or drugs. Only those with severe mental disorders are given access to a shrink and only every 3-4 months. If you want weekly or biweekly visits to a psychoanalyst, you will be paying out of pocket.

Also, as much as Kaiser likes to call themselves a non-profit, the doctor group is for-profit. Kaiser is actually composed of three separate legal entities: insurer, hospitals, and doctors. Any profit left over at the end of the fiscal year is split evenly by the hospital and doctor groups, with the doctors engaging in profit sharing. There is an incentive to provide less care to those paying out of pocket for the insurance because the doctors will reap a bigger bonus. This is not the case for Medicare and Medicaid recipients because reimbursement is based off both treatment and outcome metrics.
Any evidence to back up the quote?
They don't need to, and it would make no sense to further dilute current shareholders. They have enough cash for operations and investments, free cash flow is increasing fast and will continue to do so, it makes no sense for shareholders to do a secondary to be included in the SP500 (the SP500 board may ask Tesla to offer liquidity but that is the index funds' problem not Tesla's, and such a concession would only benefit front runners instead of long terms investors). Besides, if market cap continue to grows as expected, SP500 will have to add TSLA at any price (otherwise the whole concept of SP 500 Index would be at risk). Also, many are waiting for Batter and Powertrain day to assess Tesla's ability to ramp production to 10+ million EVs in ~2030) so unless those plans disappoint, raising equity before September would be a let down.
I’m a game dev looking for something like PlayCanvas can you recommend alternatives? What did your studio end up going with?
It's kind of hilarious that TikTok is basically Vine with longer videos. Wonder if the Twitter exec that shut it down is kicking themselves.

No, thank you. Can we do without the Reddit attitude here please? The choosing beggars, the needless quoting of debate fallacies in what is not a debate?

If you ask your impression of Nvidia's business practices, and they give you their opinion, you can't somehow invalidate that opinion by retorting with debate fallacies. That's the "fallacy fallacy" if you're sensitive to that. This is not a debate competition about who's right, this is people giving their opinions based on Nvidia's past and current actions. You asked a question, and they answered. This is not a competition. Please give them the basic respect of acknowledging their opinion.

The CCP is a threat to individual freedoms. Freedom to consort with an enemy nation had never been an important individual freedom in any nation.

Don't worry, US has plenty of individual freedom for Enlightening activities like spewing virus on other people.
The more energy you put into being anonymous, the more anonymous you are, but it's not an on or off switch. It's like something that can constantly be improved. You can even go as far as changing the way you speak to avoid stylometrics.

The question to ask yourself is 'what can reasonably be found out about me?' You can be found on the smallest trace of evidence, but is it reasonable to expect someone to do that? You're not exactly a government spy. Just take obvious steps like not using your real name and you should be fine.
> what's not manageable is shared, mutable state that isn't isolated to a single, modular, highly cohesive "unit" of code that can be understood in its totality

Well put. To turn it around, the ideal of state management is:

- Immutable, isolated state

- State operations are singular - I guess meaning centralized as well as atomic

- State operations are modular and cohesive units of code

- Can be understood in its totality - which implies centralized state management, where operations are not scattered thoroughout and intertwined with, for example, UI code

In my experience, I generally agree with the sentiment against "proper" OOP, as an accepted or preferred style of code organization. This is related to some fundamental truths and advantages that the rising popularity of functional programming is revealing.

Even in the world of UI and software for the web, the classic OOP patterns are getting "disrupted" in a healthy way, and it seems to be moving in the direction of composing immutable states, idempotent functions with no side-effects, where state changes and effects are centally managed in an isolated way.
Is your brain my brain? No, two distinct physical things are two distinct physical things.

What happens when you multiply 2 times 5? You got 10? That's the same answer I got!

Thoughts are executed by a brain, which can be modeled and executed by a mechanical brain.
Ah, I always wondered why that worked. I fought against it for a while, then started using that method out of laziness, but it works so well, I don’t use another method now.
My downvote is partially because you seem to be objecting based on what you think "can't just" happen, rather than on observations of what did happen, or citations of relevant law.

Additionally, you have specific objections based on what you've decided that this specific person should be capable of and what should come natural to them, and also assuming that this action would be productive (rather than costing more than $2500 to see through.) Seeing as the larger question isn't about how much lawyers are charged, but how much people in general are charged, it seems like a irrelevant observation.

I don't think you meant to sound like this to anyone, and I think we're probably on the same side of the issue. To me, getting bogged down in specifics is an enemy to systemic change (only when the specifics don't threaten to contradict the general case - when they do, specifics are of course important.) If I know of a good way for a particular person to get out of an irrationally inflated medical bill, that's really something that I should be communicating with that person. If I see that people in general don't use a good method (that I am personally aware of) to get out of irrationally inflated medical bills, then either 1) the system is broken because it's not automatically funneling people toward that method, or 2) if everybody used that method, it would start to fail, which means that the solution was never a universal one.
I'm not sure where you should put it, but with 150k land + 200k industrial real estate, you should definitely not put anymore into real estate.
I'm an index fund skeptic. What would happen in a world where everyone invested in index funds? Capital allocation would go haywire. You can't create value out of nothing. ISTM that the more people push on index funds, the more overvalued equities in the index become relative to those outside the index. I'm not sure that retrospective analysis saying index funds are the best applies going forward in a world where index funds are much more popular than they were in the past.
From a pure conversational/social/emotional perspective, you maybe shouldn't lecture someone who's actually going through the first hand experience with the disease.

I'm far from an expert there, but most hunting riffles I've seen, at least here in France, shot shotgun ammunition (birdshots and the like).
When my uncle got cancer I thought, even with the near zero chances, at least we'd get to see a clean battle. But lots of things were disorganized and weak. I also kinda caught a high ranked guy hiding the truth partially (claims no difference between hospitals at first, then boasts about his facility .. mentioning all the benefits of being here in passing, I ask again for transfer he started stuttering saying no difference again)

I kinda share your sentiment, there's an industrial aspect in cancer care (which I can understand to an extent) but it hurts when you're living it first hand.

ps: I almost miss the early days of cancer where stage 4 cancers were dealt with more motivation and less formalities. Alas.. (based on Vince de Vita book)
I don't use IG, nor any social media, and I have never had a desire to do so but this statement underscores just how overtly and far reaching the term 'activism' is used these days:

> And then in the wake of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor's killings, it was primed not just for information, but activism.

Spamming peoples feeds or posts with your rants is hardly activism, it's easily ignored/filtered is and never as impactful as if you actually got active on the ground because you will NEVER get a true grasp of the situation behind a keyboard--these situations are often wrought with confusion.

This is my main gripe with the so-called SJW forms of 'activism,' whose main form of action is bringing about 'awareness' on social media platforms and engaging in never-ending feuds Online that amount to nothing than a waste of time and energy. And then if they do attend in person refuse to engage with the parties they oppose in open discourse and will seek to 'cancel' the other side. This has had so many dire implications, be it in academia to other things like actors and their career prospects.

It's hard for me to think that people honestly think that posting about an issue is as valid as actually being on the ground and involved in the process in order to try and (ideally) come up with alternative solutions to the problems they're trying to solve with those who have also come out to manifest. In this case Police Brutality, that as unpopular as it might seem is not solely limited to just the Black Community, but has been pervasive and incredibly outward in heavy-handedness since 9-11 under these false pretenses of Terrorism. People seem to forget that during the Occupy movement the same amount of violence was being used against what were mainly a white, college educated, (lower to mid) middle class cohort. They, too were deemed terrorist groups and cells for dissent and were infiltrated by Intelligence Agencies. [1]

And while I'm glad many people finally saw this for what it is, as this time Police violence was used against journalists and innocent bystanders alike, and in the case with Portland and Seattle you have unmarked vehicles essentially kidnapping people, you get a real taste what activists of all leanings have seen all along. I hardly see what some celebrity posting on IG with a sign has to do with activism. Moreover, we saw how quickly they are to retract it if they face scrutiny, during the HK's National Security Law limbo Billie Eilish tweeted out a message in support of HK, only to remove it moments later when the Wumao Army came down on her and she saw some backlash, showing just how feckless and entirely pointless these kind of affairs really are for even 'influencers.'

"While it’s unclear whether Kushner himself played a role in the acquisition, improper procurement of supplies “is a serious deal,” said a former White House staffer. “That is appropriations 101. That would be not good.”"

Government acquisition is an enormously complicated process, and that statement is completely true. "Not good" is an understatement; this kind of thing can get government employees fired and cost contractors millions of dollars.

"But the million tests, some of which were distributed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to several states, were of no help. According to documents obtained by Vanity Fair, they were examined in two separate government laboratories and found to be “contaminated and unusable.”"

And that would be why. Procurement fraud is an enormous problem that gets people killed. (The corruption of the system even with current procurement controls is bad enough, but do remember the Civil War vendors selling rotten meat to the Army.)

As for the rest of the allegations in the article, if any of it is true then this is likely to be the worst scandal in the history of the United States.

I think there's an increasing amount of SMS spam being sent by random compromised consumer devices, which is probably what drove T-Mobile to take this sort of desperate measure. It would seem like notifying the customer is even more warranted in this case, though.

I recently did a bunch of "virtual onsite" interviews, mostly over zoom. I think the main frustration I experienced was the barely perceptible latency in the video chat. It really bites when you start talking at the same time as the interviewer and have to do the awkward, "oh sorry, no, go ahead", "I was just going to say..." conversation-resetting sidebar.

I felt like video quality was good enough to see non-verbal cues, and I think people subconsciously exaggerate those anyway when they're talking over a lossy channel.

On the other hand, it was a lot more comfortable to be in my apartment than in an unfamiliar office space.
Most families deal with cancer at some time. Few are unaffected. Maybe we need focus on the hard part of fixing things. We can acknowledge emotions, get moderation of opinions and celebrate empathy but we need measurable results.

U.S. Society is delivering on these.
