So your claim is that anything turing-complete should forever be called "tech" and that any disagreement is arrogance?

That's a difficult position to engage with constructively.
I have been occasionally "in the room" for conversations where a contract between an enterprise and a vendor is being discussed. I was initially surprised that enterprise buyers specifically wanted per-X billing, to ensure that the vendor was equally incentivized to maximize X as the buyer was. But it makes sense.
As an employee working for a different company that operates under a CFIUS National Security Agreement (NSA), I believe it's possible for TikTok to be run under an NSA that keeps data more-or-less protected in the US. Obviously, anything can be compromised, and I believe the US government is well aware of that, and while it states that as a major concern, I don't believe the privacy of teenagers is a greater priority to the US government vs. the ability to spy on them.

Typically an NSA this would involve the data being hosted in the US with hosting, auditing, support, etc. being provided by contracted US-based businesses. CFIUS can audit any aspect of this at any time, which is key in the context of TikTok here, because it opens the door for TikTok to be used as a US government survellience tool in a similar way as it's claimed to be one for Beijing.
Freedom of speech is the solution.
Imagine China’s social credit system, except add to it that the government is entirely responsible for giving or not giving you a living allowance

You are perhaps imaging a scenario where UBi is provided by a NGO?
And how do u get that number that if not because of testing ?
I built the simplest habit tracker using Google Sheets
Oh, your quoting of "gold standard" really threw me off.
To be clear, I think you mean "email address" when you say that TikTok has access to "email". They don't actually have access to email, and I know the distinction is well understood here but it seems most of the United States is being lead to believe that TikTok can read the contents of GMail because of some sneaky Terms of Use agreement.
> Instead democratizing currency, we're democratizing large scale crime.

democratization works both ways. A democratized currency facilitates both crime as well as the oppressed - after all, you cannot tell the difference between them under an oppressive regime.

What you implied that we should have is a democratized currency that's _only_ good for non-criminals (and used for "good purposes"). That's impossible. It's like asking for a gun that you can't commit a crime with, but can be used to defend yourself with.
Ironically the first law says "Users perceive aesthetically pleasing design as design that's more usable".

So now you say "I love the style of these graphics". So if the 1st law is correct it means you perceive this design as usable.

Then here's the irony: Just because you PERCEIVE it as more usable does not necessarily mean it is more usable. Which seems to be the case as per your experience.

But so what is the point about trying to make users PERCEIVE a design as usable? Shouldn't the goal be to make it actually usable whether users perceive it as such or not?
The debt black hole pushing everyone to reopen is a direct product of the Federal Reserve. A real shut down would involve a moratorium on rent denominated in USD.

(Never mind all of the little bits of discouragement the federal government has been feeding down to states, eg threatening to withhold school funding)
It's worth every penny! It's saved me so much time on new projects and just been a great resource to study and learn from.
At my previous company, one user complained very loudly that our documentation used the word "execute" in the context of executing a program or a script. They sent the CEO a very lengthy email about how it was vile and conjured images of horrible death.

A Jira ticket was filed the next morning to change all instances of "execute" to "run".
I am a bit confused; I may have missed it, but I don’t see a mention of Project Arachnid, which is similar based on the description.

The NATs will be gone, but they'd be just replaced by firewalls with "default deny incoming" policies for most users. Some users might change this, but there would be enough people using defaults that one could not rely on p2p connectivity.

(The current networks are often not set up to handle malicious incoming internet traffic, and new protocol is not going to change this)
What a Microsoft deal to buy TikTok would look like
A possible blueprint for making the proposed Microsoft deal palatable to the White House...
I don’t have an answer, but a slightly different perspective. Many different segments have a deep interest in using highly secure encrypted communications: politicians working on deals within/between governments (that should be auditable, but many try to avoid that), whistleblowers, organizers operating in adverse governments, dissidents, terrorists, pedophiles with a lot to lose (similar to Epstein’s network), healthcare professionals trying to talk to patients or other doctors in a hippa world, illegal transaction networks, attorneys with clients, VCs trying to debate the future of the world, companies trying to preserve trade secrets, you name it. It takes one of the egregious bad actors using the system to commit a crime worthy of public attention before the entire system is justifiably unpacked, banned, or considered a signal of bad intentions.

How can a system be made decentralized, but able to self-police against legitimately, publicly agreed upon bad behavior? If the system is able agree upon and exclude legitimately bad behavior automatically, the governments would not have a claim upon needing to police it and regular users would probably find it beneficial as well.

How could the self policing possibly happen?

Maybe you have a blockchain of anonymized encrypted messages that is read by open source scanning bots - if enough independent bots flag a message, then a group of anonymous judges can adjudicate to ban those user accounts?

Encryption is one challenge, but if you want true ubiquitous privacy, you need to deliver internal safety to prevent the need for external policing of activity. Social creatures of any species from dolphins to macaques have evolved some kind of internal behavior policing mechanism or trust is lost, and as such the system of value exchange grinds to a halt.
What exchanges allow you to move that kind of money?
I am sure they both offer define contribution pensions like almost all companies do.
Instance operators hate two things; disagreement, hate, and outsiders.
How about 'after successfully reducing new infections to almost zero', like many other countries? There are many solutions here other than 'shrug and give up' as the current federal government and many state governments have done.
How does a democratized currency help the oppressed?

It could help middle class people get their money out of a given country but otherwise, where's the benefit?
Not yet I assume, currently FAANG will need to pay a digital tax, taking the TikTok example Google or Microsoft would be forced to sell business to a competitor in the EU.
Encryption has shown itself to have innumerable good uses. What legitimate utility has crypto currency provided?

Actually, you're making my point for me. Banks don't typically hire physical pen testers at all, and yet our reaction to a bank robbery is not, "Well, that's just what you get for not taking security seriously." Nor is that our reaction when a gas station gets held up.

In a perfect world, everyone can be trusted, and we don't need locks on our doors or passwords on our phones. In a dystopia, everyone has to carry a gun or have a bodyguard to leave their fortified homes, and a quarter of GDP goes towards security measures. We're somewhere in the middle, but things like this push us a little further down the road to more sunk costs in security measures.

A locksmith might make a killing after a local crime wave, but they should understand that crime is bad for the neighborhood regardless. Cyber crime raises demand for white hat services, but what's good for white hats is not necessarily good for society at large.
Credit card fraud is 'some people steal credit card numbers and (eventually) steal some funds'. It's not good, but it doesn't have the major disruptive effects ransoming an hospital has.

Yes that's the only way to do it, but then you kinda cirumvent the whole tailwind philosophy. The tailwind typography package is an attempt to fix this, but right now it's annoying to use.
There's definitely segmentation by role.

As an example, the product in the linked article is designed to be customer facing, and at the very least, linked to from within an app or site. The person who decides to take that direction is some sort of product owner.

If a person has the authority to decide to incorporate that sort of product (accept & expose feature requests) into their app but doesn't have the authority to sign off on a few hundred dollars a month, then something very unusual is going on.

On the flip side if you're selling something to an individual engineer then the price point is a lot lower. A developer might have autonomy to pick their tools, but they typically won't have the authority to sign off on a large expense.
Try this. Load up your website on a phone and then scroll down quickly. The header jarringly reloads and there’s an animation for every single post. Bare HN is faster and cleaner. I’m sure you can tweak your website to make it better in some contexts/for some people though. The pictures for each article are an example of that.

I don't know about you specifically, but I've met a few people who tell me they've been on a no soap/low shower experiment for a while. In every case, I've been wanting to say "I know" but settle for a "huh, really?"

Almost nobody is really aware of their smell unless it suddenly hits them, like taking their sweat-soaked shoes off after a long day. My parents wouldn't hesitate to tell me that I stunk as a kid when I was completely unaware. I think people just don't mention it to other adults.

In the US, pensions means defined benefit pensions, which cost a great amount more than defined contribution pensions.

With a defined contribution plan, the employer is off the hook immediately after giving the employee the cash.

With defined benefit, the employer is on the hook for all adverse investment performance as well as broader economic turmoil decades into the future.
I found this data [0, 1] from the economist which does suggest that Western European countries really did mitigate the virus and continue to do so. Excess deaths are a more robust measure of the effects of the virus because they're unaffected by testing differences and idiosyncrasies between countries.

I have no idea if there are any travel restrictions in place internally to the Schengen area right now but I wouldn't be surprised if the free movement in the US between areas with very good control over the virus and area where it went haywire was a factor in the current spikes.

Hispanic people are greatly over represented in current coronavirus cases in SF [2], supposedly because they are more likely to be essential first-line workers, but I think also having to live in very cramped living situations (e.g. 5 people in a 2 bed apartment) is another factor. So in that case wealth inequality could be another contributing factor as to why cases are higher in the US than the rest of the world.

I think that oral control will only really take off once we can record it sub vocally, in the style of "speaker for the dead" ("ender's game" sequel).

I like the flexibility, but I really really don't like people to hear what I'm saying. Imagine three people in a room trying to do this. It'd be total nonsense. Subvocal commands would be really nice, if that's a thing that is actually possible.

Or maybe constant chattering from everyone around you becomes the new normal. I can totally imagine old me (38 now) being completely overwhelmed by this technology and all my grandkids wondering why I'm having such a hard time, and rolling their eyes when I say I just want a mouse and keyboard, dammit! Everything was simpler back then! I didn't have to listen to all this yabbering all the time and I could just tell the dang computer what I want it to dang darn do!
Yes, the CFIUS needs to be reexamined because its use in this case seems objectively capricious. It boggles my mind that all of this can be done with no evidence presented of wrongdoing. I understand that some aspects of cyber-security in the government are classified but there should at least be an effort to explain precisely what types of data TikTok is suspected of collecting. Instead we have Mike Pompeo giving glib answers to questions, saying that TikTok sends "personal information" to the Chinese Communist Party (operative word being "communist" I guess).

Another reason the executive branch should give detailed reasoning for their decision is to avoid the appearance of impropriety. Right now it seems like Trump is simply mad at TikTok because some users allegedly reserved tickets to his Tulsa rally in order to spoil turn out (it should be mentioned that this also was reported by the media without hard evidence).
I just want to mention that there are smartphone apps that can measure turntable speed.
I think they are. It's a popular collection of 'fighting game backgrounds with nice pixel art' that get posted around pretty often.

People here have a lot of nit-picks about the design of this site. Throwing mine in: I dislike that it's logo is a triangle containing a circle and a square. Reminds me too much of a Witch House album cover, or some other "dark" aesthetic appropriating that look. Kind of hard to put into words, but that symbol carries a smugness that seems just a little more pronounced outside of a 2020 goth context. I'm not trying to be persuasive, just honest.
Good job on the milestone: personally I have never tried Tailwind, still on Bootstrap... Guess I am old-fashioned...
Being able to run two images per second through a post-processing and/or computer vision pipeline still sounds pretty useful to me.

I suspect what the author is getting attempting to do is to get us to examine the criteria that determines suffering itself.

Some aspects are universal--hunger, pain, disease--but once those needs are met, emotional suffering becomes manifest to take it's place. And emotional suffering is subjective; I suffer because I lack the time to explore my true passions, my friend suffers because they are unable to form lasting relationships. Which of us is suffering more?

It's doubly tricky because the things that minimize physical suffering often aren't the best way to minimize emotional suffering. Eating fast food every day ensures you won't starve, and staying indoors ensures you'll never get sick, but you certainly won't be happy with that lifestyle.

I do agree that many people lack introspective tendencies that would lead them to becoming better people. I think that's partly because it's difficult to be introspective without context. If you don't expose yourself to points of view counter to your own, you will never know what views to self-examine. People tend to gravitate to echo chambers, it seems.
brooks brothers non-iron shirts can be wadded up for days - when you put it on, your body heat puts it back into perfect shape, including creases. it is absolutely amazing.

I think you're confusing two different areas of law enforcement.
They target ads to your interests, default on:

"Ads that are delivered by Apple’s advertising platform may appear in Apple News and in the App Store. If you do not wish to receive ads targeted to your interests from Apple's advertising platform, you can choose to enable Limit Ad Tracking, which will opt your Apple ID out of receiving such ads regardless of what device you are using. If you enable Limit Ad Tracking on your mobile device, third-party apps cannot use the Advertising Identifier, a non-personal device identifier, to serve you targeted ads. You may still see ads in the App Store or News based on context like your search query or the channel you are reading. In third-party apps, you may see ads based on other information."
Interesting, I would like to see the reasoning for why its all just treasury holdings. I don't see anything in the law that would mandate it.

True, though they could publish several zones and not announce which will be used. Though the transponders from various ships would eventually give that away.

But even if it's not technically secret there's a big difference between a NOTAM and putting out press releases with specific locations, which they did this time.

As a Russian-American this doubly pleases me. As a Russian I have found Rogozin's "trampoline" comment distasteful, and I think they should fund Roscosmos much better and come up with new stuff instead of relying on 40 year old Soviet designs. Now they might. And as an American, I'm in awe of the fact that SpaceX is possible in this day and age when companies live and die for quarterly profits and internet advertising is considered to be a respectable thing to do, and I especially love that a private company is running circles around bloated government bureaucracies and ULA that's feeding from that money pit.

Well I’m sure you’re telling the truth but I’m extremely surprised - even the best non-iron shirts I’ve ever tried still needed to be pressed to be presentable even straight out of a tumble dryer, let alone after being wadded up.

I mean how can they simultaneously hold creases in the right places but resistant to creases in the wrong places? How does the fabric know which creases you need and which you don’t?

And even the shirts in the article saying they don’t need ironing... look like they need a good ironing!

But I guess I won’t be able to try the shirts you’ve used if they’re going bankrupt.
