When I graduated high school ~10 years ago I remember one of our schools leadership gave a speech on making a good record of yourself on social media rather than avoiding it. This was when companies first started looking up people's Facebook. He was way ahead of his time but he was missing a key part which is the expansion of data collection into every aspect of our lives. It's not just social media you need to worry about.
There’s trade offs to all approaches though that is the easiest way to use them without too many downsides. I think CSS Tricks[0] article on this does a good job explaining the different ways to use SVG

Yeah, that's my stance too, even though it can come off as arrogant. The way I'd put it is "don't finance an education that won't get you a good paying job". I know some of these degrees can get you a foot in to a job that doesn't pay crazy well, but is fulfilling... That's okay too. It's also okay if that's your passion and you get someone else to pay for it.
I don't know why this is getting downvoted; companies in other sectors (e.g. oil) get involved in US politics regularly.

But there's little precedent for media companies to take action in US politics overtly. (IANAL, but I suspect there are legal impediments as well). Taking a political stand, or providing support for one side, might force big tech companies to resolve the ambiguity as to whether they're media companies or not.

EDIT: Actually maybe there is nothing stopping tech companies from choosing a side; apparently media companies do make political contribitions: https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2010/08/news-corps-million-...

EDIT 2: I can see I've accidentally opened a can of worms about biased coverage and editorials; but my usage of "support" was intended as overt and consistent involvement in political campaigning, generally through donations. And to my surprise, that does occur.
Yeh sure, made me lots years ago, also cost magnitudes more their life savings. It doesn't sound like OP is looking for gambling.
>Better to throw away the US TikTok company at this point. It's clear the American general public, Trump and US government does not like dominant foreign social media companies in the US.

This would not be happening were TikTok German, French, British, Taiwanese, Korean, Japanese, etc. Just Chinese and Russian.

"2. In addition to the information referred to in paragraph 1, the controller shall provide the data subject with the following information necessary to ensure fair and transparent processing in respect of the data subject:

...

(g) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject."
They are using it to exert pressure on Ukraine, not Germany. Germany is doing fine, thank you. The US should mind it's own business.
The fact that Trump has done literally nothing but the things that benefit him personally his entire presidency? The fact that this is conveniently happening the week the US has posted record shatteringly low economic numbers and every time the stock market or the economy isn’t doing well he does something to distract the media and the public? The fact that we managed to elect a grifter? The fact that the man can’t read anything but his own name, let alone understand nuances of technology or foreign policy? You would have to be blind not to see through his intent. Or willfully supporting that racist as if in a death cult with him.

No banning TikTok isn’t ideological in this case: it’s one of dozens of Chinese apps. No other app is under fire. Yes I am ideological about Trump: I am against corruption and he is bar none the most corrupt president the US has ever had and hopefully will ever have.

Edit: just noticed your username. Dude, not cool.
There is limited testing availability across the US. Making the tests free encourages people with spare time to get tested repeatedly, at the cost of essential workers who then have a difficult time getting tested.

In Los Angeles, there are free testing sites, and it is easy to find people who get tested so they can go to a big birthday party, then get tested again after the party. Each test costing the state >$100 and probably preventing someone in more need from getting a test.

Personally I would put half in foreign stocks (like EFA etf) and half in gold. The dollar is dropping against foreign currencies and they are all dropping against gold. Every central bank is printing money like there is no tomorrow: with good reason we are in the midst of a deflationary shock.

But couple the money printing with record low interest rates (and negative interest rates), this creates a special situation where gold (and other hard currency like bitcoin) outperforms. With a negative real rate on bonds, you will lose inflation adjusted purchasing power in bonds even if you come out positive. There are not a lot of great options right now.
PayPal has a similar problem. They do really loose string matching on the OFAC list[1], for any data, in any payment field...even a comment. Match a magic string in a comment, and your PayPal account gets locked down in a way that's very hard to undo.

I once read that if you open a restaurant and know nothing about running a kitchen then the cooks own the restaurant.

With tech it's similar. You could supervise the end result but there are so many decisions taken "in the kitchen" that will have an impact in the product. Maybe 6 months from now you will want to implement a feature and because the developer decided to use XYZ it's not feasible to do it and you have to rewrite that from scratch.

I'm not saying all founders should be technical, but at least one should be. It's a software company after all.
I think we became immunized and stopped noticing it in this context after product being so many years on shelves. Just like you stop noticing your nose in sight.

That's a workaround to ultimately still sleeping.
Whether that's bad depends on how you feel about the way your government spends tax money. Because you used a CRUT, the money that doesn't support you will go to some worthy charity, instead of funding a series of wars, pervasive surveillance, and cages for kids.

Of course the government also does many worthwhile things, but your extra money will be spent entirely on worthwhile things, and not at all on horrific ones.
I'm only going off of what I heard in his interviews, and talks throughout the years, and I admit I'm def a bit of a fanboy of his.

But regarding the charity, from reading your comment I thought maybe this was another case of don't seek your heroes. Here's what he says about it: “Independent Musicians Charitable Remainder Unitrust.” When I die, all of its assets will go to music education. But while I’m alive, it pays out 5% of its value per year to me.

(Note: 5% is the minimum allowed by law. It’s still too much. I would have preferred 1%, but oh well. I’m free to use it to start new businesses to help people, or whatever.)

The trust has 8.8M in assets. http://www.nonprofitfacts.com/WA/Independent-Musicians-Chari...

I really don't see a problem with 400k/year tbh, and if you believe him, 100k a year. And I wouldn't define "giving up the assets on death" as "keeping" either.

The dude says on interviews that he lives in a house with pretty much no furniture, and has an empty fridge. He himself knows it's fucking nuts and doesn't prescribe it to anyone. It's just his weird schtick and it seems to be genuine to me.

Could this be a huge act to play up a persona? Maybe. But the guy's been pretty consistent throughout the years and appears to practice what he preaches. Any interaction I've had with him has been totally consistent as well.
I recommend listening to https://www.schiffradio.com His guidance has really worked for me.
Thought this was related to Odin the programming language.

https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin
That it's successful doesn't mean it's also a good idea. To quote Dennis Ritchy: "C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success". I feel this could probably be paraphrased to OOP as well.

OOP isn't super terrible, but it does mix some good ideas with bad ones. Newer languages tend to not be fully "OOP" but do include some of the better ideas from it. OOP isn't the end-goal of programming, it's a stepping stone.

Same applies to functional programming by the way; a lot of non-functional languages include various features pioneered in functional programming languages.
For now, steer clear away from index funds, stocks, property investments, etc. Things are looking to get ugly in the near future.

Maybe bear ETFs or put options against stocks that have performed well over the year if you're really looking to drop money into something, but that's pretty risky in itself.

Also, be cautious if thinking about any crypto investments in the next month or so. Short term is way over bought for BTC, but towards end of fall into winter when the price corrects a bit could be a good time to invest a conservative amount.

Just holding and waiting out the coming storm is the safest way to go at the moment imo

> But unlike China, America fashions itself as a bastion of capitalism. Borrowing Chinese practices seems a little antithetical to everything I see America as

China is approaching fascism from the Lenin-Stalin-Maoist “Communist” side, the US from the mixed economy welfare state side. That they should be increasingly borrowing unpleasant tactics from each other is unsurprising, even if contrary to the image each side tries to project for propaganda purposes.

The US hasn't yet quite established unquestioned control of the faction working to implement fascism, so has a better chance of changing course in the near future.

I'm currently starting a new maker space in Texas, please feel free to reach out, happy to share what we know and have learned.
We have already spent 15 times that much money on the lockdowns we did have, and didn’t get the virus under control. And it’s not a “small number of families.” The top 10 richest American families could only cover about 3-4 weeks of lockdowns. The first four months of lockdowns cost as much as the total wealth of the entire Forbes 400, and we’re not even done yet.

And of course, you’re comparing wealth accumulated over 50-60 years to a one time bailout. This likely won’t be the last pandemic of our lifetime. What’ll we do next time?
That was too ambiguous on my part - to clarify, I meant TikTok has exactly the same potential for risk.

TikTok isn’t doing anything that Facebook and Twitter are doing, or may do in future.

If there’s a technical security risk that we should be worried about, then I am equally worried about every single other non-Chinese company exploiting it.

If this were nation-agnostic, generic data protection laws, no one would bat an eyelid. Couching in terms of hand-wavy national security is just so implausible and blatantly self serving.
I'd like to see any YC users come by and claim the US has a "free market" at this point.
The Yoda of Silicon Valley (2018)
America has been acting neutral for last decades, especially last 15 years where China has asymmetrically taken advantage of American companies. China is getting a taste of their own medicine and I am fine with that.
You say they're older as a joke, but it's very much relevant. Old artists dismissing the developments and approaches of their younger colleagues is a tale as old as time.
Disagree. I think it is a discount. From my understanding the business was not for sale until this executive order.
It’d be the height of the market if they weren’t forced to sell too, they’d just also be in a much stronger bargaining position.
Electric rice cookers are pretty uncommon in South Asian countries. Reasons could have been due to the electricity availability and affordability initially.

But it has not caught on even now. I have seen electric rice cookers in minuscule number of households. Based on interactions, it’s more to do with people not liking the taste of the cooked rice. I always found this funny as older generation used to complain about the same about pressure cooked and stove top cooked rice instead of the wood fired stove cooked rice but everyone have accepted it now.
Why would the rice cooker need to be programmed for it, though? For any given quantity of rice, the two variables during cooking is the amount of water and the power of the heating element[1].

It is known that brown rice requires a different ratio of water, but this is something that can be replicated with any method. Does the special brown rice setting change the heat output of the rice cooker?

[1]: Fancy rice cookers use non-constant power, or so I've heard. Not sure how much it influences the taste, though.
As much as I hate the in-network vs. out-of-network concept because of the risk to the patient, this story is a good example of why some providers are in-network. The in-network providers are (or should be) less likely to overbill because they have negotiated contracts with the insurance companies. Providers that don't have a contractual agreement with insurers are therefore out-of-network.
I feel like sentiment was similar for when FB bought IG for $1B. Today, we would all agree that was vastly under priced.
If you bet on a huge crash then your PUTs will lose the value anyway. So what if they give you 50% profit when the inflation is 1000%.
That is OOP, regardless of what the language is.
I agree with you up to a certain point. College isn't necessary to learn most things. For many disciplines, very little of your college education will be applicable. However, it can be much more difficult to get a job with no degree. Part of what you're paying for is that you get to be a product that the university sells to industry. There's a very stable and consistent path to employment for some degrees. That's worth $80k+ for many people.

Healthcare in the US is incredibly regulated already. And one reason for the wacky pricing is bad regulation. Well, regulation with good intentions and bad outcomes.

For example, there is a law that all hospitals need to maintain a chargemaster list and that no customer can be charged more than the price listed. Sounds great!

Well, because hospitals are allowed to negotiate discounts, the most rationale thing to do is make your chargemaster price so high that it will never impact your business.

Have a procedure you charge $1,000 for typically? Make the chargemaster price $10,000. That way it will give you some room to up your price to customers (say double it to $2,000). Problem solved for the hospital!

So the regulation solved nothing and actually incentivized negative behavior.
Uh no? I think it’s better to have open and free discussions.
Take $200k and build out an equal weight portfolio of a bunch of different tech stocks. Take $160k and use as a downpayment on two different turnkey rental properties. Invest the remaining $90k in a decent index or mutual fund, different from the one you already have.
So how will this work?

Will there be 2 apps? Tiktok US and Tiktok for the rest of the world?
People have already been shot [0], so I'm not sure I see your point. I'm not sure why you've brought up CHAZ/CHOP other than as a non sequitur; people are not attempting to establish an autonomous zone downtown.

Nonetheless, I'll take your bet; I bet that the violence will not return until the police start engaging again. I can agree that the peace is temporary, but to me, it is merely because there is currently a handoff from federal police to OSP.

You might be right.

I’ve always been surprised at how hard people seem to work getting a job after the first one. If you live in a major metropolitan area in the US outside of the west coast, it always felt easy to get your yet another software as a service crud job. When I reset my career in 2008 and started down the path of “enterprise developer” leading to “dev lead” in 2016. After muddling my way through the recessions and switching jobs 4 times. It really felt easy. Send my resume to some local recruiters, pattern match my resume to available roles, phone screen, in person simple interview process, get job, make more money.

Even now the path from dev lead in 2017 to “working for a FAANG” was easier than most because I avoided studying algorithms and “leetcode” and went into cloud consulting which basically involved a bunch of soft skill “tell me about a time when...” questions.

Capitalism is the reason the US outsourced its manufacturing to China to begin with - borrowing Chinese labor practices and corruption to do an end run around its own ideals for the sake of maximizing profits.

I mean, America is the country that fought the Nazis then hired them to build their space program just so they could plant their flag on the Moon and claim it before the Soviets. Hell, American companies were doing business with the Nazis while at war with the Nazis.

I ran into this a few months ago when texting the phrase "work from home" it was really strange. We rationalized it with the spam / phishing thought process, but it still seems wrong for the carriers to block messages so poorly.

Not in the sense that I can actually tell how much slower a certain operation is, but it feels like Konsole is working with one arm tied behind its back.
Stock Market: What Happens If Tesla Enters S&P 500
Yes the US was shamefully arrogant about Covid (bipartisinly so) but saying the Trump electorate is racist basically destroys the article's credibility.

The US has historically been in the top tier of nations because of 1. their universities, 2. their acceptance of immigrants 3. their culture (Hollywood etc) 4. public works (GPS, internet, etc).

Perhaps the US is on the decline. The apex of the Byzantine empire after all was Justinian's plague. I wouldn't say the US decline is due to a failure to enact socialist policies though. Europe is hardly the world center of creativity and innovation.
