Companies in China have Party Committees, appointed by the government. These committees have oversight over how the company operates, and how the board is appointed. The Chinese government has a strong direct influence inside Chinese businesses, that isn't present in the rest of the world.
In addition, Kpop groups put a huge amount of effort into their physical albums. Sales of physical albums are extremely high in Korea (Japan I think too) compared to other countries (just my impression, but if anyone has sources I'd be interested).

Albums are usually sold as boxes with a photo book inside and collectible cards, they are almost more like magazines. Some albums come in different editions with different idols featured - it's common for a fan to buy multiple copies of the same album in hopes of getting the edition or cards of their favourite idol (bias). The fans see album purchases and 'streaming' (playing their youtube singles on repeat) as ways to support their groups and increase their reputation.

Erdogan has to somehow keep his deeply indebted country rolling and his population of 82 million employed. It seems foolish to start picking fights with his biggest trading partner but, who knows, perhaps this is the sort of distraction that will keep his population focused on nationalism.

GTK is a 22 year old project.

Both GTK and GNOME have used .99-style release candidate micro numbers, and odd/even minor numbers to represent devel/stable (as Linux once did) for a VERY long time. ~18 years ago, GTK/GNOME decided that major number bumps meant breaking changes.

.99 means "we're absolutely serious about this release candidate" because you know you're going to eat it if you ship a three-digit minor. How embarrassment.

Kids, a bit of community tradition won't hurt you. :-)

There's ROCm[1] though. It's just almost every ML platform blindly bent to the NVIDIA vendor lock-in. CUDA is a disaster, like DirectX was back in time. One day it will go, hopefully soon enough.

All races are a protected class. You can’t discriminate against white Europeans either.

In fact, if you were to start a group that wanted to destroy white Europeans (like how the Klan wants to destroy non whites, Catholics, Mormons, Jews, and sanity itself) then you would quickly find yourself ostracized.

I would bet an anti white group would quickly find itself branded as a terrorist organization in the US.

I always thought that was an important standout feature of Snow Crash, which iirc did it by accident because it was originally going to be a comic book and present tense is common in comics.

Is that what you really care about here? It sounds like feigned concern over a non-issue so you can throw shade on the product that doesn't align with your politics.

> an English speaker shouldn't get offended by a Swede using "slut" (Swedish root for stop/end).

No one has claimed otherwise. If a product is designed for international usage, the company should think about what is implied by the name of the company in minds of their potential customers.

I'm legitimately curious what your solution is to sign up for Netflix if you can't use your ISP (Comcast, likely a monopoly with no alternatives).

I can't imagine calling up Netflix and attempting to sign up via telephone is feasible, nor is explaining to the average consumer the price is different because they're on wifi instead of data (and only their wifi, or select locations that use Comcast).
There's a popular legend about Chevy's Nova selling poorly in Spanish-speaking countries, since "va" means "go," so "nova" is literally "no-go."
Banning something unless they/it has provabley broken US laws, merely out of spite and retaliatory motives isn't something that is acceptable in a democracy like the US.

Also it appears the 'national security' threat of tik-tok seem way overhyped, it is like a country speaking of Instagram as a national security threat.

Neither apple not Google has found TikTok problematic enough to pull it from their app stores.

Such claims of threat to 'national security', needs to be viewed with a certain skepticism, as these seems to get easily accepted by US lawmakers without sufficient, dispassionate analysis.

Also in general banning apps/services should not be the purview of the government under any reason. Why should the government dictate which apps an individual can use on their own phones/computers?
Emergency funds are designed just for that.

You’re inadvertently proving their point: try to find a citation for that and you’ll end up with stories circulated by anti-vaccination groups and lawyers hoping to cash in.

This was extensively studied and there’s a summary here:

The other factor conspicuously left out is the question of what happens without a vaccine. People still get Lyme and chasing the vaccine off the market is a net loss if more people catch the disease than would have had significant complications. Those numbers don’t appear to be even close and human impact on the environment means that more people are exposed to Lyme every year.
The person you're replying to is making a joke. The general meta-structure of said joke is that if something is considered particularly bad, its existence is denied, i.e., "1: SCRUBS only had eight seasons. 2: But what about that one where they were teach-- 1: SCRUBS ONLY HAD EIGHT SEASONS." Etc.
Well, I can think of at least a couple examples where Microsoft or a subsidiary tries to do stuff like that. The big difference I think is that they almost always fail at it, due to how out of touch the higher ups are with how people actually think. Everyone pretty much knows that Microsoft is not, nor will they ever be, your friend.

> But grades aren't important for success, they're important for opportunity.

A fair distinction, yes.

> The student with lower grades may lose out on some opportunities, or only get access to them later, but if they've gained better understanding (while a student) of the material, they'll be better off in the long run than the person acing every test and homework, primarily by cramming and forgetting in a week.

I'd like to believe this, but I don't think it's true. Prestige, connections, and opportunity costs are too significant to ignore.

> Once you get a job, your grades barely matter anymore. And after several positions and a few years in the field, no one is likely to ask for your transcript.

True, but at a large enough company you'll participate in a performance review system in which you'll regularly be given a literal grade which influences your career trajectory. Goodhart's law comes into effect again.

I prefer to listen to bands that produce an excellent album every few years, vs a pile of sameness every three months.

Examples: “Boy Meets Robot”, “Unwoman”, “The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets”, “Goldfrapp”, much of what is featured on “Dark Compass”.

Where do people go for music like this? Bandcamp? Other places?
If that is the case, then so many people should be using Twitter and Google in China, where they are banned. Fact is 99% of people will not bother using a VPN to access TikTok -- anyway clones will appear pretty soon and they will grab the market.
God forbid a company makes products they want?

Why?

Stuff like this has happened all the time in plenty of democratic countries across the world. Not sure I see the issue (like my EU example). It’s just a state wielding economic power as opposed to a corporation.

The premise of why a Chinese company(ies) should be singled out in this way is that China is a totalitarian state where people and corporations are subject to the absolute will of the Communist Party so "ByteDance is not the government of China" isn't going to convince anyone who believes this action is justified.

If Facebook/Twitter/Alphabet were to be acquired by Chinese interests that would almost certainly be blocked by CFIUS just like the potential Broadcom/Qualcomm acquisition was a couple years ago.
Another ridiculous fact - a legitimate cardholder cannot use the card if they haven't got the physical card with them for the pin on the back (unless they wrote that down somewhere). The bank will not give it to you (and may not have it). Ironic, considering an attacker would have that pin 100% of the time, whereas the legitimate cardholder might not.
Proliferation of hyperboles has gone out of control, hard to read news, and watch YouTube videos without writers/content creators, or even normal people speak in daily life without this very annoying pattern.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Iran

This is the first sentence

By 2012, Iran had roughly 400 power plant units

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_program_of_Iran

The Shah approved plans to construct up to 23 nuclear power stations by 2000.[24] In March 1974, the Shah envisioned a time when the world's oil supply would run out, and declared, "Petroleum is a noble material, much too valuable to burn ... We envision producing, as soon as possible, 23,000 megawatts of electricity using nuclear plants."[25]

Advertisement from the 1970s by American nuclear-energy companies, using Iran's nuclear program as a marketing ploy
US and European companies scrambled to do business in Iran.[26] Bushehr, the first plant, would supply energy to the city of Shiraz. In 1975, the Erlangen/Frankfurt firm Kraftwerk Union AG, a joint venture of Siemens AG and AEG, signed a contract worth $4 to $6 billion to build the pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant. Construction of the two 1,196 MWe, and was to have been completed in 1981.
Sharing a concrete example:
4 friends of mine are in a moderately successful band in LA. They have 1M monthly listeners on Spotify, and their top track has 17M plays. Spotify sends them ~$2k/month, which isn’t enough for 4 to live on (they live together, and record with their own equipment in a rented house). To make ends meet, they play live shows and tour (which isn’t an option anymore). Support your favorite bands by buying merch.
It isn't fair to compare to home security. If someone breaks into my home, only my belongings are lost.

If someone breaks into Twitter, user data is compromised. It's not just the business that pays a price.
I confidently assert that not a single English speaker would think something literally wouldn't work because it was called Cantrun or Nogo. Which aren't even good examples because "nova" isn't a novel word to Spanish-speakers.

> Hitting a 17yo with 30 felony charges feels a bit steep to me.

Hitting them with 30 felony charges is perfectly reasonable/correct. Those are what the charges are for the crimes.

But the punishment for those 30 felonies should/will be adjusted down. I think at most this person will lose 5 years of their life.

Not like the 25 year old girl in Seattle that set a bunch of Seattle Police cars on fire during the protests. She's going to do 4 years for each carbombing. 4 * 5 = 20 years. 25 year old girl... and now here life is basically over. And for what?
> This doesn't speak to what I consider some of the most dangerous parts of OOP, which include the assumptions that tightly binding data and code is helpful,[...]

I don't agree at all. It's much more dangerous to separate data representation from the code that manipulates the data. I can't tell you how many bugs I've found and had to fix in large codebases (most of which are procedural-code-in-"OOP"-languages) that result from some horrific evolving arrays-and-records structure not recording intent and validity constraints properly (since that would require, you know, code). Instead, each interaction with the Holy Data Structure requires the code to go to confession, recite ten Hail Marys and five Our Fathers before receiving the Almighty's state-changing grace, mercy and peace; failure to do so will result in immediate confinement in purgatory, and possibly damnation.

I'm not being hyperbolic albeit a bit facetious about this. "Data" itself is the problem: it is subjective, and so requires a lot of tinkering for a programmer to grok. That tinkering transforms it into information, but only in the programmer's head, which is less than ideal since it's outside of the program. If that information fades away, it must again be rebuilt (or worse, be short circuited so a hotfix can go out to prod).

> and that statefulness is fine to freely sprinkle throughout your program.

I agree much more with this, with the condition that shared statefulness sprinkled throughout is the problem. An object should be treated with the same respect we would show a VM or even a person: decent ones would not tolerate having an external entity reach in and manipulate things like memory, nor would they be so care-free as to depend on and trust literally everything they are told. I think the big problem here is that few or no OO languages are powerful enough to allow for this kind of arrangement to be the norm. But it is a valid criticism and should be taken more seriously by OO language designers.

EDIT: I wanted to add one more thought, which is that when I'm working on a new feature or new codebase, I tend to model the problem first in a procedural style. Then I rewrite it as objects. I've had very little luck trying to do objects first (though I think this is just me), because decomposing the problem space is just hard to do de novo. But once I understand the problem, it's easier to see the constraints and issues.

Also, certain code that doesn't need to worry about things like noisy channels (e.g. Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm) is probably a good candidate for non-OO code. OO is good for the large amount of software that interacts with people across multiple machines and environments, rather than isolated from everything in just a single machine.

Trump is not acting totally unilaterally here. The intelligence community is critical of TikTok as well as multiple republican senators.

In fact, it's even possible that the government is involved in this purchase in some form, by either using their good standing as big MS customers (how many federal employees run Windows+Ms Office computers?), or by offering money directly, something that is purported to have happened when Microsoft purchased Skype a few years ago. Getting rid of E2EE for Skype, which Microsoft eventually did, was a big request of the US intelligence community.

Ultimately it'd be a good resolution to the issue. No more spying by China and American teenagers can safely continue using the app.
Oddly enough, in the decades before the phonograph, there was a sheet music industry with almost every feature of the recording industry. There were superstar composers, such as Scott Joplin, shady deals, composers getting rich and then getting screwed, the whole nine yards. People bought sheet music to play on their parlor pianos.

There was plentiful work for pianists and organists in movie theaters before the talkie. And so forth. Musicians have faced a constant back and forth relationship with technology practically from the git go.
In your first source: letting the EU regulate the charging cable would have been provably dumb and absurd. Lightning was years ahead of Micro-USB when it was released and served as inspiration for USB-C. Just another example of how government overregulation would harm innovation and industries.

The second source is Tile complaining about the privacy warnings in iOS 13. It’s laughable. Customers are turning off abusive always-on surveillance thanks to iOS 13 notifications and this is hurting Tile. Working as intended.

This was suggested when TikTok was banned in India. However the reality is that people just moved onto other clones.
I saw this when the author originally published her experience in early 2019 -- this appears to be a rewrite of the same experience. As I've thought about it since then I've arrived at the conclusion that the title is roughly equivalent to "I tried to live without the Electric Grid."

Certain services are omni-pervasive throughout our modern society, and in order to avoid interacting with those services you'd have to go to extremes at least as severe as the Amish people go to.

I'm incorporating Mastodon into an app I'm building currently. It offers the precise functionality I need for an ad-hoc, time-limited social network dedicated to an annual in-person event. I'm not incorporating it driven by any political, moral, or economic reasons -- I'm fairly certain restricting myself by those tenets would require me to live much as the Amish do.

I notice none of the trials I've read have tried to block communication with Cloudflare. I'm not opposed to Cloudflare's business practices personally but if centralization in general is what a person opposes, it would be logical to add that to the list as well.
United States to Ban TikTok as Soon as Saturday
According to a family friend who used to work bank robberies for the FBI, it's very easy to get away with one bank robbery. It's the compounding evidence when you commit more that gets you. Of course, that was a couple decades ago. I'm sure better surveillance technology has shifted that balance some.
