Well, it doesn't guarantee selection. It is just better than staying there and thinking.

As you said there are many other reasons that are taken into account.
Yes, it's similar to tariffs. Tariffs are a bad idea, and so is this ban.
And yet, the US is not the first country to ban TikTok for national security reasons, if I'm remembering India's recent actions correctly.

While a lot these comments are interesting, the real reason our idiot president wants to ban tiktok is because they messed up one of his events. Then he irrationally hates China. He is an idiot.

One of the reasons the west has graduated toward freedom and a more free society is because it worked better in the long run

I notice your use of the past tense there; it did work well for the West but the situation in China is very different - they have been able to leapfrog to a Western level of technology without having a free and open society. So the rules are different now. The real test is now, starting at the same level, who can sustain it and who can pull away.

You’re focusing exclusively on deaths, which is only proving the parent’s point. What about all the people who don’t die, but sustain chronic, potentially permanent damage as a result? Economies recover, but it’s less clear whether organs affected by COVID-19 do the same.

There are widespread reports indicating that surviving COVID-19 doesn’t mean you’re in the clear, regardless of your age. Yet a significant number of people continue to focus exclusively on death rate.

To reiterate the parent’s question: why are you, personally, focused exclusively on the death rate? Presumably, you’re young, and your risk of dying from COVID-19 is low. Why aren’t you more concerned about non-fatal but irreversible damage to your body, since that’s a more likely outcome for you? This is a perspective that people like the parent and myself genuinely don’t understand. What is your thought process?

This shouldn't be about market access but rather about the power media companies wield.

The debates around Facebook, Twitter and so on regarding political speech and misinformation is bad enough, and those companies at least don't have malicious intents and are criticized mostly for their inaction. With a company operating under Chinese law this is a whole other can of worms.

Yeah, my main PC is all SSDs. I might replace my laptop's mechanical disk with an SSD but i use it very rarely. If anything i use my retro(ish) PC more often than my laptop so i'm thinking i might buy a cheap SSD for that instead :-P.
In principle I believe in unilateral free trade, but idealism must be tempered against pragmatism in the practical sense.

In the literal sense for a TikTok ban to be democratic it only has to be voted on. We can call it 'democratic' if a democratically elected politician can legally prohibit the app.
I enjoyed reading Muratori's blog post you linked to - it's interesting to read the thought processes of a dev who writes so well.

Spotify isn’t using their market dominance in another industry to squeeze either artists or competitors.

Nothing is stopping another streaming service from offering a bigger cut to artists (indeed Tide purports to do exactly this).

If Spotify started pushing artist contracts that prevented artists from getting a better deal else where, then they should be regulated. But they don’t, and there’s plenty of artists that don’t sell on Spotify because they don’t like the deal they offer.
What's the problem with that?

Obviously, an ad volarem tax (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_valorem_tax) that is a tax that is proportional to the market value of a transaction like VAT wouldn't do anything.

But there are other kinds of taxes.

Eg fuel taxes in many countries are usually per litre, not per dollar of petrol. See eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_tax#Tax_rates

Carbon taxes proposals are also usually imagined to apply per kg of carbon emitted. Exactly because there's no prior price of carbon emissions.
You don't need scientific studies to prove that male and female are different, and the world isn't full of people of ambiguous gender. As the article states, that understanding is common sense to anyone who isn't an activist or professional academic.

It's a bit pathetic to extend this rape analogy to a business. We don't hold individuals and corporations to the same legal, and/or quality standards.

So, hopefully we can discuss these important policy issues without worrying if "twitters" feelings get hurt.
How is Windows using SSD to its fullest? All it seems to be doing is taking advantage of the greater speed to perform more I/O that it didn't do before which negates any performance improvements the SSD brings.
The Israeli-Arab conflict is maybe the least serious conflict of the region, albeit with the highest PR. Turkey has conflicts now in Cyprus, Libya, Kurdistan and Syria, on their borders, beyond them and over the seas.

Hundreds of thousands of people died in the last 10 years in internal Arab conflicts all over the middle east which is higher numbers than the Israeli Arab conflict since its inception. Millions of refugees, active involvement of the US and European armies and all that on much larger land than tiny Israel. I just don't understand why this conflict is the poster child of all ME conflicts.

And another small question, why it is called the Israeli - Palestinian conflict when so many other Arabs are involved and why the name "Palestinians" was appropriated by Arabs when both Arabs, Jews and others lived in this region for thousands of years and the Arabs were the ones that colonised the area long after Jews were living there.

The name was coined by the Romans who conquered Judea, it is basically a name given to a Jewish area to humiliate them as if it belongs to the Philistines, a European invading tribe that used to live there and was already extinct by the time the Romans conquered it.

It is a bit like the n word. Only Jews should be able to call themselves "Palestinians". Arabs calling themselves Palestinians is almost like Europeans calling themselves Navajo and the n word together. I am just surprised this thing is acceptable at this day and age.
I agree that this has tones of adjusting your moves to match those of your adversary.

I just think that the losing side, when adopting similar moves, is not playing dirty per se. It's just leveling the field. You can only play foul if both players share, at least superficially, a similar moral framework.

> Why does every rust project claim to be 'blazing fast'?

It doesn't seem particularly mysterious to me. Performance is often a feature that an author of some software has put a lot of time and work into, is proud of and can be a differentiating factor between it and other alternatives.

I don't know if "every" Rust project makes the same claim, but one of Rust's wheelhouses is in performance critical code, so it's not particularly surprising---at least to me---when people who enjoy writing performance critical code produce such things in Rust.

Now, I don't really know the first thing about benchmarking terminal emulators and performance was never really a concern for me when I used to use Konsole. I personally switched to Alacritty because it worked better in cases that I cared about: https://twitter.com/burntsushi5/status/967896697421615105

The bigger problem is that when American users use TikTok, the Chinese government gets a say in their social media exposure.

Nobody should be using TikTok voluntarily, in my opinion. There should be a PR-effort led by governments, parties or NGOs to tell people why they shouldn't use TikTok.
This can be a lot simpler. Just set "one_time_setup" to a single instance of the method, and all calls are waiting for the exact same run.

If that doesnt work, then set it to an 'asyncio.event`, and run the one_time_setup "in the background" (create_task), and when its done it marks the event as complete.
Well, ostensibly politics is done in the name of making citizens better off. Customers are citizens.

Of course, if you get arbitrarily cynical, you are right. But then we'd need to have a very different discussion.
Exactly. "7.0 doesn't aim to bring new features, it doesn't enable us to do anything that isn't possible without it (other than not writing that guard). Instead, it aims to change perl culture as we know it. The whole point of perl7 is radically choosing approachability over stability."

Breaking back compat without any new features on the horizon to justify them is not only ridiculous, it's suicide. They even broke back compat in 5.30 with the change of attribs on subs, which is heavily used outside of perl5, but not at all within. Totally unjustifiable.
JuliaCon 2020 concluded yesterday, but the talks are all posted on YouTube, and the conference agenda page remains accessible for the near future.
The whole idea that gender and sex aren't synonyms looks very bizarre to someone who hasn't paid attention to this whole corner of academia. If someone said "Make a drop down that lets people specify their sex" I'd interpret that request in exactly the same way as if someone used the word gender: a radio button for male or female.

There seem to be people here arguing that if the request said "sex" the radio button is fine, but if it said "gender" then ... then what? A slider? What would it even say? Please select the place on the spectrum you feel you are, where one side is male and one side is female? I've never seen such a form.

> The president has no power to ban TikTok

This is the #1 mistake people have made over and over with Trump. “He can’t...”, “He won’t...”, “He wouldn’t...”, “He’ll never...”.

He doesn’t play by any rules. You have to assume anything and everything is on the table. If he really wants to ban TikTok he’ll either get it done or scorch the earth trying.

Do you really think once someone says, “Mr. Trump there’s no mechanism for you to legally ban TikTok” he’ll be like, “Oh yeah my bad, I better get back to work on helping America through this pandemic.”

He knows he can say whatever he wants and strongarm whoever he wants. That is his literal playbook!

A moment of reckoning for natural language processing
Why would you restrict what your customers (ie citizens) can do, just because some despotic regime somewhere abuses their citizens?

One reason Chinese products are cheaper is that they largely ignore environmental concerns. So by allowing the trade all we do is put our own, well-regulated factories out of business, whilst increasing the net pollution in the world, and instead of quality products that last we get junk destined for landfill, thus perpetuating the cycle. So there are very, very good reasons to look at the big picture here.

And that's before you even get into the slave labour...
That literally has happened already when Iran banned Facebook and Twitter during protest against election fraud that lead to Ahmadinejad to stay in power for second term.

However, Iran banned Facebook merely because it was being used by protesters to share content about police brutality during protest.

So I'm not sure if that's a fair comparison.

I think governments are realizing that social networks are important strategic service because of the amount of data they capture. Before internet era countries were protecting way less data about their citizens with their teeths.
Sigh, very hypocritical but I guess we can't let a non-american company siphon our data. I wouldn't mind if we didn't keep yelling 'freedom' and 'free market' every week into the social abyss. But but China does it too you say? They never claimed theirs is a free market did they? Definitely solidifying for me, banning social media apps LMAO! Their minds are only for our feed no? Good proof that we are easily manipulated by feeds. Why not educate for better content consumption? Oh because then we will lose our own influence. So lets remain dumb and stare at screens only approved by our great western lords. Pathetic IC, pathetic.

As far as I understand it, WeChat is less useful as a means of disseminating misinformation or other social media manipulation, whereas the problem with TikTok is less about potential surveillance.

Thus it may make more sense to ban TikTok than WeChat. And always assume the CCP is listening to unencrypted communication. In fact, they are probably mining our comments in Hacker News.
The ISA alone doesn't mean much, but there's OS compatibility too. MacOS will run iOS applications out of the box.
I don't know enough about TikTok to have an opinion on them in particular. But I do agree that it should be up to people to decide whether they want to use TikTok.

An information campaign like you suggest might be justified. Though given how politicized everything seems to be, I suspect it might backfire.

Btw, would you like to make it illegal for people to send their personal information directly via email to the CCP?
Would you say that this circuit was fully homomorphic if, for all inputs, the processor appeared to be doing the same work?

It certainly isn't very scalable. If it's someone totally out of the blue I'd probably politely point them to our jobs board. If there's some connection, even if it's just "Hi, I'm one of the 50,000 people who are also alumni from your undergrad," depending on my mood and how they approached me, I might spend 15 minutes on the phone with them.
Most likely it will be added to the OFAC sanction list at which point both Google and apple will delist the app within a few days. You can read up on how the SDN lists are basically the long arm of US law and can completely excise someone from modern society (even if they live outside the US). Banks will refuse to complete payments, merchants will refuse service, shipping companies will return packages, etc.
This is pretentious. Happiness has never been the purpose of life. Meaning is, and if these people find meaning in their work the better for it.

Something I'd really love to see is a GitHub repo containing different projects written in both an OOP style (e.g. with C# or Java) and an FP style (e.g. with F#, Scala or Python).

F# and Scala also have both OOP and FP features - something else nice to see would be the same project written in both OOP and FP styles in the same language.

Anyone have any links to repos or blog posts along these lines?

> "Know your unique competencies and experience and present them in a way that matches the company’s needs without sacrificing your personality.

It is also important to understand the peculiarity of the company you are applying to and its specific needs. A startup or a smaller-sized company may have different needs from a bigger company, thus requiring a different skill-set."

This makes the case for targeted CV more than adding a cover letter to a one size fits all CV.

Fwiw, my first page / section is titled: Executive Summary. It's more bulleted but it could be sentences. The idea is to incorporate the concept of cover letter without having to worry it would be ignored.

That said, I'm going to try a cover letter. It might be enough to standout even if no one actually reads it.
Just a thought experiment - if there were reporters from "the boogaloo times" wandering around protests, would it make sense for the police to keep track of them?

If your conception of the protests/riots is that they're largely driven by the media (both traditional and social), then trying to get ahead of the news would make sense when trying to end the riots/protests. And tracking the relevant journalists would help with that.
Is it worth switching from jquery with all the extra verbose code you must write for DOM manipulation?
I don't see a way for government regulation to restrict social media companies from gaining market dominance.

Even splitting doesn't help. You can try to split the main social network off from some other profit-generating activities, but they would probably start those up again, after some time. You can't split the social network, because then users of the smaller parts just join the bigger part again.

Currently we don't know how to do it, except encourage new companies to rise.

Do you have any evidence for that? I doubt it.

That seems like a decision for customers to make? If customers prefer cheaper products, who are we to judge?

> And that's before you even get into the slave labour...

I don't think that's a big economic factor. However, insofar as it is occurring, it is bad. I would suggest opening immigration more to give people around the world an alternative.
Ask HN: What are the most under-appreciated Editor / IDE features?
Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) looks to me like the WET DREAM of every business that wants to control the software and content on your hardware without ever having to decrypt sensitive code or data residing on that hardware.

That's because FHE-encrypted software is locally unhackable as long as its implementation of FHE remains unbroken.

Think:

* FHE-encrypted mobile operating systems, applications, and data.

* FHE-encrypted desktop and server operating systems, applications, and data.

* FHE-encrypted "smart home" devices -- from light bulbs to dishwashers to fridges.

* FHE-encrypted transportation infrastructure -- from automobiles to trains to airplanes.

* FHE-encrypted industrial machinery of all kinds.

If FHE ever becomes practical, we're looking at a very unhackable future.

Remarkably, I've never seen this issue mentioned anywhere else before.

I don't care who's barking about what and if they're consistent about it. Either there is or is not an underlying risk we should aim to minimize.

As far as what I might want to see, since you asked: for one, I would like to see more rigor around the acquisition process to eliminate or even undo some of the consolidation. I won't pretend to understand the details of how or what needs to change, but I am more than open to taking a hard look at things like WhatsApp and Instagram being acquired by Facebook and what kinds of power centralization that enables. I hope smarter people than me will do that research and make intelligible cases so we can all hold evidence-backed positions.

Look at the valuation, never mind the societal impact, of these companies -- data is worth far more than your average consumer realizes, at least once it hits an inflection point, and our laws don't currently reflect that. Maybe they should, maybe they shouldn't. I welcome the discovery, and don't feel like we need to be anywhere near a solution yet.

Bigger than the reciprocity problem is that TikTok is operating under Chinese law and thus its American userbase's social media exposure, or a part thereof, is controlled by the CCP.

Not good idea.
