So you think that this person was the absolutely last good person at Facebook, and that every one of the other 48,000+ are evil? Do you also believe that every single US government employee, including Dr. Fauci and the inspectors general who regularly report on wrongdoing, must be evil because they're involved with what the Trump administration does? And what on Earth makes you think the majority at Facebook is quiet about any topic least of all this one? Interesting notions, to say the least.

It seems to me that there are three stories here. One is that some small group of employees were violating policy by preventing certain users from being flagged or banned when they should have been. One is that an employee caught them. The third is that the employee was fired - apparently for conduct around the disclosure rather than the disclosure itself, but that's beside the point. The point is that it's absurd to assume that the first and third stories are totally representative of how every single person remaining at Facebook is, while the one that connects them is assumed to be an anomaly that could never possibly happen again.
The leaks are trivial to compile, and the tech is very basic, anyone with enough scripting skills and alcohol can do it in under a month. The real value of HIBP is the owner's credibility in the security industry when it comes to offering a service that 'sounds like' it requires some trust (it really doesn't because you can use the service with data anonymization features).

The problem is he has been a complete failure on the business side. If he marketed it as 'you can fire 50% of your customer support if you stop account cracking using our service', charge per requests, and provided a bunch of code integrations there's no reason this couldn't be used by thousands of businesses, including top companies which have serious account cracking problems.
And the fact Apple doesn't like GPLv3.
That migration click is far from working okay. I tried in a very simple-page-text-only-with-paragraphs-one-uploaded-image I had using a Web Font, an embedded Spreadsheet and an embeeded Maps area, all owned by Google. The layout got so broken that I didn't publish it and it's in the draft state after the migration. It looks really shitty.
"It's only reciprocity if you divide the world into two tribes, the "China tribe" and the "US tribe". Someone from the "China tribe" did something bad to the "US tribe", so now we're going to grab a random member of the "China tribe" and punish them for it, even if they're not the one responsible. I used to think the Western world had abandoned that kind of collective punishment, but apparently not."

So no - this is not it at all.

Reciprocity is a much more appropriate term.

Trade is a big deal, trade deals are big deals.

'Free Trade' deals usually imply reciprocity on all fronts, otherwise, it's a lop-sided situation.

Nation A selling services into nation B, but B not allowed to sell such services back is usually an untenable situation.

If this were any other sector this 'tit for tat' would have happened a long time ago.

It seems a little outlandish because these app bans affect our lives directly, instead of say a 'steel tariff of 50%' which we don't materially witness.

And of course, despite the legitimacy or not of this ... this is a least 50% 'Donald Trump Campaigning'.

The 'censorship' and or 'TikTok' having done something wrong are side issues.

Purely on a trade basis, this is fair.

Now enter the security issue, which is very real: China wants to control everyone's lives down to every passing thought. They observe, control, censor every single conversation in China. They have the means and wherewithal to do it around the world. Large Chinese companies are 'state organs' and the notion that TikTok data would be used for all sorts of advantage is legit. Google and FB can be used as tools of the US, but this is not remotely the same comparison.

It's a new world order, and this action only seems unreasonable because of the person doing it, and the shocking terms.

I expect a little bit more of this to happen, not less.

(speculation) Because right now, one side loves Trump/Shapiro/Crowder/etc... and the other side just hates Trump (majority don't care either way, of course). Notice how nobody is focused on the Dem side anymore? So of course these pages get more engagement if everyone is over there.
This article has helped me understand this XKCD comic -https://xkcd.com/2340/ which I was too lazy to look up.
If the rocket equation is such an unforgiving bitch then why are you only using two stages to get to orbit? By your own logic you should be using four or five or even ten stages to get to orbit because otherwise you are hauling up too much unnecessary mass on each flight. What makes two such a magic number in this case? Is it perhaps possible that there are in fact real-world tradeoffs between efficiencies in the rocket equation and engineering parameters and that sometimes advances in technique or materials shifts the optimum point?
>Why reward people who gambled and lost? Bust them out.

Why reward corporations and investors who gambled and lost? Bust them out.

>People will either buy the houses at more reasonable prices or (more likely in this case) the banks will renegotiate more reasonable terms with the original mortgage holders because they have too much supply and no buyers.

Other companies will buy the businesses at more reasonable prices or (more likely in this case) the banks will renegotiate more reasonable terms with the original mortgage holders because they have too much supply and no buyers.

And this was the issue with the 2008 fiasco. The government chose to save large financial institutions instead of breaking them up so the problems would be less likely to happen again. They chose to save large corporations over homeowners.

It is happening now with the pandemic response. I get the federal government wanted to dump a ton of money into the economy through PPP, but man, you cannot tell me the Catholic Church needed it. They are sitting on assets worth billions they could have sold/borrowed against to stay afloat. Same with large private educational institutions and public corporations.

The next round, and there will be a next round, will be more of the same. Carve outs will be rampant.

The USA should have looked at other countries providing direct income replacement to citizens. 70% income replacement sent to citizens and not force them through state's unemployment processes. Other countries did this and it worked.
Yeah, i guess full ownership gives them all the upside/control/ability to integrate with their other projects/ambitions.

If you're open to learning it, Tcl is actually a good middle ground here. The
best way I can describe it is "structured shell script" - still very string
oriented, but the syntax and command set is much more well thought out, and
its better for building libraries in (having namespacing, among other things).
You even have a choice among object systems if you need one.

You don't lose much in terms of shell interop though - the native exec command
understands a lot of the basics (file redirection, pipelining, background
execution). In the simplest case, it's just one more word:

exec wget $URL

You do have simple exceptions too, which terminate by default unless you catch
them (unfortunately, the stack traces aren't really useful). AFAIK exec throws
on a non-zero exit, and you can use it in your own code too:

# Dead
error "IO error"

# Not dead
if {catch [error "IO error"] error_or_result} {
# The error
puts "Caught: $error_or_result"
} else {
# The result
puts "OK: $error_or_result"
}
Facebook has lost its muster. Instagram would probably be a better comparison now.
WeChat isn't some app for government leaders. Its userbase in America are ordinary people in the Chinese diaspora who use it to stay in contact with family and friends worldwide. Like banning Kakaotalk for Koreans or Line for Japanese.

Also, if "all companies in China are really extensions of the government", then what do you call this relationship where Trump forces Bytedance to sell Tiktok to Microsoft and give the U.S. government a share of the profit?
> rather whether "the last 4 years would have been significantly better with clinton".

The fact that you can question whether almost literally anyone else as President would be "significantly better" than the trash fire that is the current US situation is astonishing.

> If I was given the option between horse poop and elephant poop I would choose neither.

The thing is, in politics, you don't get to "choose neither" because you get one or the other and that choice, regardless of how pure and glowy you feel inside about your moral high ground, has direct and lasting consequences for everyone in the country (and, to some extent, outside it too.)
Django is a batteries included framework. If your developers are familiar with it they can create a MVP fast with it for sure.

Then later (if there is need for that) you can separate the front end and the backend, use django for backend and React or Vue for frontend for example.

But TBH there is not really enough context to know for sure.

I think part of what makes TikTok recommendations addictive is that since the content is so short, it's harder to get fatigued by bad recommendations. If I get recommended just a couple bad YouTube videos that are several minutes long even if I abandon partway through, it's easier to give up.
This is my understanding as well.

I've tried every form of razor and - despite all the folklore - the best[0] shaves for me are to be had by electric shavers, which operate on this principal. These have a foil which the hair can protrude past, then it is sheered off by either rotating or oscilating "blades" that push the hair against the foil.

It's like a pair of scissors, which can operate when "dull" - because there's something to push against, they don't need to be nearly as sharp.

[0] "best" meaning a combination of least discomfort, time efficiency, and closeness - a safety razor against the grain can get closer, but it's a miserable experience
Are there any set standards for these types of integrations between systems/SaaS services to make them interoperable?

EG: Specific subset of REST or GraphQL, etc?
I guess one thing to consider is that Facebook MAU is declining while TikTok is on the growth track.

Also, the 85m users of TikTok considered here are all U.S. users, who on average must be (potentially) more valuable than the average Facebook user.

> untyped, untagged “file” resources

I think the problem then, and the problem today, is that these “types” are a very very mobile target. How many implementations of JSON are there? XML? HTML? CSV?

It doesn’t make sense to put these types in the operating system, or else you’ll start TypeError’s every time you download anything. Not to mention the Computational costs of parsing the entire structure of a document every time you edit it to verify that it’s “still of type X”.

I’m not at all sold on the idea that categorizing files and streams in this way is a step forward (in the shell, at least). This is what applications are for: to define their own formats, parsers, and generators. The point of the operating system is not to be one of these applications, but to facilitate their development and use. IMO, typed files and streams would actually impede more than enable this work.

To further this, American apps like LinkedIn or Github are still allowed in China because they obey the law.

> random teams reimplementing a migrations system

I think that can apply to most software. Django has plenty of things that could be done better, but if it's part of Django it will be well tested and documented, there will be people who can help on Stack Overflow, which is far better than most of the in house stuff I have had to work with.
Canada to U.S. Visitors: Please Don’t Sneak Across the Border
> a lop side trade relationship with a wealthy country that had the kind of human rights and foreign policy situation the west traditionally only ignores if you're poor

I have a hard time believing the US actually cares about human rights abuses in other countries, when they are the beneficiaries. They won't put their money where their mouth is when it comes to ethics and trade.

I think the only way you can influence China to change is to reinvent how trade works. Rather than trade deals, the US could simply have a set of rules that cause increases in tariffs. Forced labor? +80% to all goods. Won't let international observers monitor your elections? +20%. No elections? +50%. And then enforce these rules strongly, and make no exceptions. That would put ethics into the equations of trade, and reduce trade with countries who are not ethical.

But that's a pipe dream that will never, ever happen.

" Acquiring a social media platform is going to catapault it into the heart of consumer tech."

They own Skype, one of the world's most prominent p2p communication tools, and screwed that up.

I understand the idea for fetching / listing resources, e.g. list me all ec2 machines.

My confusion is more about general logs ("preparing output in /tmp/randomid") and progress updates ("the job is 25% done", "deploying cluster", "docker image download: 90%"). Is that actually of interest as structured output or should that remain as human readable on stderr?

> Yea but even Fox News isn't anti-American.

And yet they are still a propaganda platform, which is the point.

Whether they are anti-American or not is debatable. At the most I would say they do not care for Americans, only their profits. Their downplay of COVID has undoubtedly contributed to the deaths of thousands of Americans.

> I also don't think there is any discussion that needs to happen with Bytedance or TikTok. What are we supposed to talk about?

You do not believe in due process? TikTok has stated that no data is overturned and all data is stored in the US.

At the very least a discussion around this would involve third party audits prior to a ban.

Furthermore, a sane and reasonable leader would pass laws for TikTok to adhere to prior to a ban, but there was no discussion about what steps TikTok could actually take to assuage these fears. Just baseless accusations.

> Did the Chinese have similar discussions with Google?

Google and Facebook were free to operate in China so long as they adhered to the law. Both companies chose to pull out as they found the laws objectionable. Other companies - LinkedIn, GitHub - adhere to the law and are free to continue operating in China.

Trump is not giving TikTok a law to adhere to. That is why this is different, unprecedented, and unjust.
This is absolutely fair whataboutism because it shows the US's first priority has consistently been commerce over human rights. You couldd still say the US values "free people" a little bit, but values "free markets" more, and thus we get Deng Xiaoping > Mohammad Mosaddegh.
Brilliant. Refinements like this is why I love the Mac. All functions in all apps are condensed into the menu bar, and you can navigate the bar with a few keystrokes.

what they are iterating on here is the trust boundaries between your company and your infrastructure provider as well as your peers sharing the hardware.
How is that different from one person becoming the default "migration person" on a team that doesn't use Django?

This is tricky, on the one hand keeping everything related to the database close to or in the database is probably cleaner (in the clean architecture sort of way), as it eases a separation between the business rules and the data saving and loading.

On the other hand, doing this loses a lot of the sugar and development benefits of using the ORM (either Django or SQLAlchemy, which I prefer), that are often enough—and perhaps preferred—for 95% of projects.

If I were to choose, I'd pick the ORM, though trying to place it as high in the stack as possible.
I had quite the opposite experience. It was a few years ago when I tried to switch from Windows/Linux, but the lack of keyboard support in certian situations drove me nuts; I even remember one system popup notification with a single "Ok" button which I couldn't get rid of by keyboard (Enter, Spacebar, Esc... - no effect). Meanwhile, in many Linux DEs, especially the combination of keyboard and mouse allows for super quick window management (resizing and moving while holding a modifier like Alt, which AFAIK is impossible natively under Windows or MacOS).
I must say, the single feature that made me switch to macOS (or that made me comfortable with the switch) was the built-in emacs keybindings. I mapped Caps Lock to Control and can finally stick with sane killing & yanking text, as well as jumping around (front,end,back/fwd a char or word).

Gnome/GNU/Linux provides a compatibility layer that isn't as good as macOS's emacs bindings.
Believing eradication is possible if it isn't will also end up killing large numbers of people.
This is going to make it easier to make the case that Facebook and Twitter are in violation of Section 230: by editing or removing posts of platform users they are making editorial decisions and are publishers and no longer eligible for Section 230 protections.

That said, it might be time to revisit the intention and spirit of Section 230 since in the time in which it was written (1996) the idea of a service like Facebook or Twitter and the media emissions of the Trump campaign had not entered into the imagination of lawmakers. And if a revision to Section 230 is made it needs to protect ALL online services, including scrappy startups and small blogs/social services as well as the multi-billion dollar heavies.
Yes, it's the most popular driver for PostgreSQL in Python.
I can't believe I'm the first to point this out, but this article is kind of obviously wrong.

The analysis in the article is like looking at Tesla on an earnings per share basis, when it's actually heavily priced on forward projected earning potential.

Like Tesla, Tiktok is a growth stock. This valuation doesn't reflect its current value per user - it's baking in an implied doubling or trebling of its user base in some short time span.

I'm not saying that the assumption that Tiktok will meet its projections (and justify this valuation) is warranted, but I am saying that comparing Tiktok's $/user to Facebook, a mature/somewhat stagnant social network, is the wrong way to look at this.
For Zoom, that home/launcher screen can be closed so you can switch to your video without having to do the above. Realized that after being annoyed for weeks.

"Collapse" is a bit too passive to describe what happened to the USSR. Gorbachev was a pro-American advocate of Social Democracy (aka the Denmark-style state that Bernie likes).

He thought that Russia would become prosperous by adopting capitalism. Instead, GDP shrank by 50% and Russia went from a global superpower to being encircled in its own backyard.
Maybe this was him "quitting" and he knew this would happen but e.g. he still wanted to be eligible for unemployment benefits
There are not "tons of scientists, government advisors" saying they don't see the need for masks. That is very much a minority opinion which is not supported by mainstream science.

I'm curious also by your claim that children aren't infectious. That is not widely accepted by the scientific community. It sounds like you're taking some minor positions and pretending like they're mainstream.
>It wasn't a problem at all, because your average maintenance job is "something was moved" or "we're switching out X for Y", but not "we need to rewrite this complex system that is a Perl script for some reason".

I would intuitively agree with you as there are hundreds of unnoticeable perl scripts doing their job, but as someone with moderate experience with the language, I can say that when I did maintenance tasks, they were mostly the second kind.
To get into orbit you need 2 pushes. One push upwards puts you at altitude, the other is sideways to make you fall around the Earth and not come back down.

If you have one big push, you escape the Earth's gravitational pull. If your push isn't big enough, you fall back to the ground.

>Isn't this just reciprocity? China banned a long list of media companies: FB, Google, YouTube, Twitter, Netflix, and every traditional media. Now the US is banning two apps made in China.

This really could be the end of the thread. For years China has banned systems and applications from other parts of the world. The fact it has taken this long to respond with action is stupefying. China would like the benefits of an open internet, but don't want to participate.

The decision is 100% appropriate, but wasn't handled in the best manner.
