I think we all now what he means. Short term leisure trips to the other side of the continent aren't sustainable and are only viable because tourism heavily subsidises plane tickets prices.
This comment made my morning.
Should american apps be therefore banned by the other countries? I'm talking about american apps as the issue here is china vs usa, otherwise any other country that produces apps is probably guilty of the same collection.
Should we sink to their level though? I'm not sure tit for tat fighting is going to fix anything, it just drags us all down. I'm not saying I have a solution, but I feel there's got to be a better one than the direction we're going.
One of the great things about Gandhi was that he evolved as a person as he aged. He worked in South Africa as a young(er) man, his views on Black people changed as he grew older.

Regardless, Gandhi's writings about Black people have been taken out of context in many places, and it would be a good idea to read entire letters/articles written by him before jumping to conclusions.
Not necessarily. Tiktok could sign a Data Processing Agreement with whatever US cloud they host their stuff on.

Do we think this will use javascript? Perhaps we can just block javascript.
> Take f.lux: they spearheaded a feature, were never allowed onto iOS, then Apple developed a copycat feature.

I love the subjective memory / interpretation here. Apple didn’t block f.lux, there was no API available on iOS for it to work. Apple decided rather than provide a public API method, they’d just provide the feature itself. Sucks for f.lux, but far less than it did for LumaDisplay and Sidecar.

> there is no technical reason for stopping alternative browsers from getting onto iOS

1) alternative browsers exist on iOS. Chrome for example! Sure, you’d be fair to say “not real Chrome”, but then see point 2

2) the technical reason you claim doesn’t exist very much does. Web browsers require the ability to have dynamic code execution from untrusted sources. Look at all the OS compromises historically from browser bugs and you can potentially understand why Apple wants to try to exert control there. The counter argument of course is that Apple has also failed here, there’s been multiple jailbreaks which could be triggered by visiting a webpage, but I see Apple using that to justify their actions further (if even we can’t get it right always, no way others will). I’m not claiming that parenthetical mentality is justified, but it likely plays a part in what Apple thinks.
The fact that something, anything, can be declared a national security risk without offering any proof for it whatsoever should worry everyone.

Pretty sure EU car manufacturers like Daimler or VW would like to buy up Tesla's European operations for cheap. Just need the government to simply declare them to be a national security threat and force them to sell or lose access to the largest market on the planet.
nothing in "investigative reporting, commentary, criticism, and provocative personal essays" is, what I consider news. q.e.d.

vox.com: "Vox explains the news.". No shroud of being objective here either. q.e.d.

slate.com: "we are a general-interest publication offering analysis and commentary about politics, news, business, technology, and culture" general interest is vague, but no non-commented news here either, q.e.d.

the root has a category "news", but if you visit their main page you see, it's just a sort of "community news-ticker" (like any political page has) and I don't see them making claims to universality.

Compare that to Breitbart mingling everything there is into their political agend and explicitly stating: "truthful reporting", ... , "Breitbart News is one of America’s leading news organizations."

leaves the huffpost which is laughable by design.
That's such an interesting graphic.

I got my first cd for christmas 1994 as a kid and I was kind of in the middle of adoption. Middle-class family in Germany. Some friends of mine already had CD players, but not all.

MCs were still everywhere, but I can't really comment on how much people actually spent.

I simply can't believe that the 1990-92 numbers are true in an adoption sense, or maybe the revenue was just a lot better than for MCs, because I honestly don't know anyone who had a meaningful CD collection in 1990 already. And this is not because I was too young (see above, first CD in 94) but even my friends' parents didn't have CDs from the 80s, later in the 90s.
Shape::TRIANGLE, 8 or Color::RED aren't concepts. They're merely symbols. In principle, you will find them encoded in some way under a microscope (as some arrangement of physical states, though it will depend on the particular physical medium what the particular arrangement will look like). Your computer program can process that physical state to mimic some aspects of reasoning, but that's entirely a matter of how the program is designed to operate with these physical arrangements. You cannot analyze or derive anything from the symbols qua symbols themselves because there's no meaning there to analyze or from which to derive things.
Isn't Bytedance selling Tiktok to Microsoft the solution? As far as concrete worries are concerned, doesn't that solve everything? But I'm not seeing anybody paying any attention to that.
Only for the record, lead pipes have been extensively used (for drinkable water) till well into the 20th century.

The inner surface of the pipes soon form a sort of lining that is normally not dangerous/poisoining.

The amount of lead now admissable in EU is 10 micrograms per liter, but - at least here (Italy) - until 2013 was 25 micrograms per liter.

Usually only in some particular cases (acidic waters and "stagnation" in the pipes) some relevant amounts of lead are transferred to the water.

Drinking or eating from polished lead tableware is another thing.

I think this headline is backwards.
Being able to influence geopolitics and orchestrate a pro-CCP feed to target demographics is a long, subtle plan that spans decades and TikTok is just the current instrument that the CCP has in their arsenal, and it's very likely early into that plan.

It's a little naive to think that there would be a red herring found with a packet inspection, though the author deserves credit for settling doubts.

>Gandhi was not Anti-Britain initially, he wanted equal treatment for Indian people at par with any British citizen. But Britain wasn’t ready to grant full dominion status, then series of incidents moved him to ask for full freedom. In his early years in Africa when he was going transformation, there were some incidents which reflected some prejudice against native Africans, but subsequently he became a changed man, his greatness lies in constantly reinventing himself as he learns more about life.

Disagree! Gandhi was always whole and complete, he managed his perception of himself and the world to liberate India. But I am not debating that.

>The biggest supporter of Nazi and Hitler philosophy following his footsteps are in power in India today, where gradually every democratic institution is muzzled for their version of Hindu Aryan supremacy.

Agree! That is what Gandhi would have supported today. Instead, he's being used by the outside forces who are using him as a tool for propaganda.
That's a helpful answer. Apologies if it seemed confrontational.
Ironically this industry seems to only have come under scrutiny because the hired gun wasn't professional enough and/or took his job far too seriously, depending on your perspective.

In 2010, Takeshi Kuwabara was sentenced for the murder of his lover, Rie Isohata. What captured the world’s imagination was not the tragedy itself, but the fact that Kuwabara was a wakaresaseya – a professional hired by Isohata’s husband to break up their marriage.

Once Isohata learned of the deception, she angrily attempted to break off the relationship with Kuwabara. Unwilling to let her go, he strangled her with a piece of string. The following year, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

There is definitely a dark rom-com movie script to be made from this story.

Edit: I just remembered, there is an old Italian film which has a similar plot. It's called Divorce, Italian Style and is about a man who wants to divorce his wife, but can't due to the local laws. He spends the movie trying to get his wife to take a lover, so that he can shoot her "in a rage of jealousy" and get a reduced sentence for manslaughter. It's pretty funny, I highly recommend it.

Be interesting to see where you think he's wrong especially where his arguments are based on some uncompromising statistical facts.
As another commenter mentioned, currently Ravi Vakil is teaching a course in modern algbraic geometry.

The course is largely based on Vakil's book in progress, which he titled The Rising Sea, after a quote from Grothendieck:

> I can illustrate the ... approach with the ... image of a nut to be opened. The first analogy that came to my mind is of immersing the nut in some softening liquid, and why not simply water? From time to time you rub so the liquid penetrates better, and otherwise you let time pass. The shell becomes more flexible through weeks and months — when the time is ripe, hand pressure is enough, the shell opens like a perfectly ripened avocado! . . .

> A different image came to me a few weeks ago. The unknown thing to be known appeared to me as some stretch of earth or hard marl, resisting penetration ... the sea advances insensibly in silence, nothing seems to happen, nothing moves, the water is so far off you hardly hear it ... yet finally it surrounds the resistant substance.

Here is, roughly speaking, a theorem that illustrates what modern algebraic geometry is good for.

Theorem. If you have two conic sections in the plane, which don't share a common component, then they intersect in exactly four points.

Here a "conic section" is just any quadratic equation in two variables, e.g. x^2 + y^2 + 3xy + 4x = 1. "Common component" means that the conic sections are identical or overlap in an entire line.

Now, here are some "examples".

Concentric circles, e.g. x^2 + y^2 = 1 and x^2 + y^2 = 4. They don't intersect at all, right? Ah, except you forgot to count points over the complex numbers, where they do.

Tangency, e.g. y = x^2 and x^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 1. These curves are tangent at (0, 0), so you have to count this point with multiplicity.

One major goal of modern algebraic geometry is to wrap these sorts of considerations into the foundations. So you have to work a lot harder to even say what a conic section is, or what it means for two of them to intersect. But, once you've laid the foundations in this manner, there are no special cases.
None of that information even remotely threatens national security outside of the military.

If the military is doing things that civilians commonly do then maybe, you know, they should stop that.

>Would you go if the restaurant was open right now?

Absolutely, I never stop went to the restaurant that are still open.

> If so, why?

The same reason on why most people go to restaurant: To enjoy the food and the service.

>but can you be 100% positive the stranger next to you doesn't?

Of course not, so ?

>Why would you risk sitting in a restaurant?

Everything in life has some risk.

Why would I do anything at all ? because the benefit > risk.

>but you can do the same with curbside pickup

Its not the same.

>do you feel it's a hoax?

No, the virus is real but the risk is low.
This is true, but in a strange sort of tragedy of the commons, it's much cheaper for me personally to just fork out for Fusion and put up with their cloud shenanigans than it is to pay for improvements to FreeCAD.

they probably haven't reached that point, compared to other societies, their law just makes evidence a requirement if the divorce is contested.

Thanks for excellent technical analysis! I personally enjoyed reading your article. However, to my knowledge, no decision maker is interested to learn the technical details. Don't we know already this tiktok is just in the US-China cross fire?

Our American friends are interested to teach our Chinese friends lessons by hitting hard on their public business faces. Never mind not talking about thousands of real state investments by Chinese people in US cities. Never mind, not talking about CCP atrocities on the Xinjiang people going way back at least 15 years (since when I am following).

It's not support for humanity, it's not about sudden urge for national security, it's about politics and populism.
I don't think it will be effective to do this secondary sanctions. If Chinese company want to sell aboard then Facebook isn't something easy to circumvent. And they can always go to Singapore to do business with it, or find agency there. It is will be hard for government to monitor such activities.

Facebook by all means is already banned.
A political system requires stability to survive, both internally and externally. Internal propaganda(to spread certain cultural norms and beliefs) is a stabilizing act, while external propaganda is (potentially) destabilizing. In this context, it makes sense why one would be allowed and the other wouldn't.
obviously I was referring to confirmed case.
Basic Economics is required reading for anyone who wants to claim they understand economic principles. Even if you are a hard-left Marxist you must understand classical economic theories in order to feel comfortable debating them and more firm in your own beliefs.
LinkedIn recently tried to get me to connect to a high school girl. This wasn't a case of a minor lying to get access to a service, her profile clearly stated that she's still in high school. Note that this wasn't her trying to connect with me, it was LinkedIn's algorithm suggesting it. My take away is that there are minors on the system and the system isn't doing much to protect them. There was nothing in her work experience that overlaps with my career or interests and we had no connections in common. Seems very odd that LinkedIn would suggest this connection.

Nonconformist is exactly how I wouldn't describe Thomas Sowell, whose economics and ideology is that of conformist conservative cliche.

He's the kind of charlatan who'll tell you that property law that benefits rich folks is magical and natural but other law like taxation law is artificial regulation.

I highly recommend Dean Baker's "The Conservative Nanny State" for a good debunking of this nonsense.
This is Apple News+ I think?
On the contrary, Apple does work to ensure users are protected from uncurated code. That incidentally challenges third party App Store models.
Well this is why we need more Dumb Bankers. It would work out better than bailing out the mindlessly ambitious pseudosmart ones every 2 years. Nature has provided us a surplus. We must use it.
1) Most non-Chinese apps are already banned in China.

2) The world trusts US companies because unlike China the US is not a dictatorship, has a functioning, independent judiciary and generally abides by international law. So there is a far greater level of trust there because there are legal mechanisms to prevent breaches.

I've found Hibernate within Spring has been fairly easy to use and adapt. Pretty easy to just add @Query(<native query>) to a method if you really need to drop into your own SQL. It also generates schemas and with something like Liquibase or Flyway, you can manage the migrations pretty easily as well.

I wonder how Amazon will be able to pull profitability with this, compared to Space-X? For Space-X to make it work, they are launching on their own re-usable rockets, and I believe that they are banking on the projected Starship cost models to really deliver the bulk of their satellites at a cheaper cost.

Amazon may be counting on Blue Origin, but I'm wondering what the chance of that working properly and within budget right out the gate are? And as far as I know, New Glen is projected to be in the same ballpark as Falcon Heavy, but nowhere near the delivery capacity of Starship.
Circa 2014, my economics mentor, who also mentored me in reading/trading free markets recommended reading Sowell.

We discussed Sowell at length, and my primary take away was that Sowell’s world view was that the individual is much better at improving their own lives than any intervening external factors. All in all, an ardent believer in individual capitalism. That is a high level assessment.

A more nuanced assessment is Sowell (like his mentor, Milton Friedman), is a true to earth anti-Keynesian. Fun fact, he considered himself a Marxist in his 20’s IIRC.

There are lots of anti-Keynesian economists. Though I think what sets Sowell apart is the way he uses widely accessible data to justify every single view on public policy he has, and to make it easy to digest for someone without an economics background (no easy task).

You can find a nice collection of his ideas online [1].

Interesting you should say that. That is exactly my theory as well. If you sell you have to put your capital elsewhere. Historically, interest rates gave a decent return in cash and bonds. That doesn't exist today. That's why you're better off sitting out any falls - as the one in March has shown, they are very short term.

Companies have been making decisions based on the potential future changes to their economic position. But their economic position hasn't actually changed yet.

For many smaller companies there's not actually much they can do to prepare. They're just going to have to deal with the fallout when it happens. It seems to me that a lot of companies have gone with a "let's just carry on with business as usual while we still can" approach, and that they are going to get hit really badly when their product suddenly costs 20% more for a large proportiom of their customers.
This is an incredibly bad faith argument. What are you saying? Because everything is propaganda, either everything should be allowed or everything should be banned?

What happens within the borders of a country is different, even if it is spying and suppression of human rights and what not.

The destiny of a country should be in the hands of it's people. Be it good, bad or worse. But if you allow propaganda from another country to enter into your media, all is lost. Why? Because you lose faith in everything. How is one sure the revolution in a country is pure bred from that country? How is one sure the change one sought is because of the needs of the people of that country?

It's an incredibly dangerous situation. Even if your own govt. spies on you, stopping the propaganda of a foreign country takes precedence at all costs, if necessary, even by war.

There's a class of software I want rapid improvements to.

And frankly there's a class of software I want to just work and not move the needle needlessly. Even with Adobe, I have NO idea why I have to have 27 processes constantly running to check for updates; why it actually performs updates that grind my system all the time; I can't honestly say that I have personally advanced and started using anything new or different in Photoshop in many many years, let alone MS Word. :-/

(understanding this is a different use case to original-original-poster; most of the software I DO want to advance - our database engine or process scheduler or OS monitoring software can always get better as far as I'm concerned, etc.
