I'm not sure I understand how that's different than what GP is saying.

Cloudflare is aggressively investing into growth during the 'land-grab' phase of development so that they can become one of, if not the, dominant player in regards to this kind of core Internet infrastructure. They view the 'land' of Internet infrastructure as a limited resource, and they want to own all of it.

I'm seeing a comparison to Amazon, but that doesn't make me feel better. Amazon's aggressive expansion has been a net negative for multiple segments of the market -- particularly e-books and audio books.

What makes Cloudflare's growth strategy less concerning when compared to companies like Amazon and Uber? Aren't they all still basically trying to become indispensable private monopolies within their given niches?
Apple's first wish from the genie in a bottle was for unlimited wishes. So it doesn't really make sense to argue over whether Apple only has x-ray vision or also the ability to walk through walls yet.

Gatekeeper is our benevolent dictator that consolidates power with every update because our connectedness increases the potential for widespread damage from our attackers.

And I'm ok with that, but worry we'll regret things later.
“Police” being the verb in this situation is exactly the problem, just like with actual crime. Like another comment mentioned, this calls more for coaching or mentorship than rule-enforcement and punishment.
Aside: I think we should stop using the word “police” for things that are not law-enforcers/punishers.
Apple Has Reportedly Expressed 'Serious Interest' in Purchasing TikTok
Vine was acquired pre launch. It was launched and allowed to run for a good amount of time before being shut down.

Twitter isn't an example of a well run company considering the alienating things they have done to third party devs but I wouldn't call this an effect of monopoly. Even ByteDance acquired Musical.ly which became Tiktok, they just had a clear idea of what to do with it.
It reminds me of this math overflow answer: https://mathoverflow.net/a/338620

I suspect the reason OP's thesis worked out okay is because his intuition wrt the problem is correct, even if his formulation was a bit off. Very cool, sounds like a good mathematician to me
anyone with power and wealth in china is dependent on the government, they only have these things because the government allowed them to have and keep it, for now. thus it really doesn't matter how one individual on that side sees things, he sees things the way his side allows him to see.

it would be different if people exiled from china and were getting involving once they're in the western world, but to broadcast one's independence while in china is a moot point.

i have been to china many times and have many chinese friends, also many HK friends, and the chinese, while while very hospitable to the US will never pick US over china, never publicly or to an outsider anyways, they always follow the party line.

until the mentality of the regime allows and tolerates the discent there are no unique feelings on the other side to consider.
I really don't see how Fitbit offers a 'data advantage' in superiority to something like Youtube
I see this as a feature on some level. I know it sounds bad "google will have access to your fitness records and will sell to insurers that'll affect your premiums/approval, etc etc". But I would argue that our "insurance" models need to be brought in line with a all-data-is-logged world so that we can solve some of the issues.

Maybe we as a society want to rather "subsidize" or "protect" unhealthy individuals by giving them money for higher premium insurance rather than hiding the actual cost of their healthcare by making it illegal for insurance companies to deny them based on their unhealthiness. To me that seems like a better, more explicit and transparent model that doesn't rely on physical reality being "hidden" from the people determining the cost of your insurance, even though we all know that unhealthy people cost more to insure because they have more health issues.

The gp is slightly incorrect: in Rust you cannot override the constructor so that it allocates more than the struct itself. You can extend + and allocate in it, which is why it is treated in theory and practice as if it were a method call, because it is. You cannot override the assignment operator, it will always be either a conceptual move of ownership or a memcopy at worst, never a method call with any arbitrary number of heap allocations. Same for the dereferencing operator, it cannot be overriden. This is the reason we say there are no hidden allocations in Rust. In every language you might have allocations in a method call. Some languages consider assignment to be one for example, Rust doesn't.
My problem is how do you run a randomized trial with something as common as a deworming pill that is handed out in clinics by nurses and can be bought over the counter?
I am just curious.
The cyber threat from China is very real, but cyber capability is super cheap. A one-off capability is going to run in the low single digit millions. You wouldn't endanger an asset currently worth tens of billions and growing for that.
Oh neat!
China has blocked almost every major US internet company. Crying that Tik Tok is being forced into a sale is a bit rich. National Security concerns aside, there's a legitimate argument that the West should be banning every service that comes out of China until they open up their market.
Skip the Windows HOSTS file and use something like Acrylic DNS[0], works great for me and supports wildcards.

I even use it together with the router to have my phone use the DNS and you can see which hosts get connected and so on as you use the phone. It ain't pretty.

We actually had to make that choice 10 years ago. .NET was out because we didn’t want to deal with Windows server, but that’s no longer an issue. Now I think I would skip ASP.NET because everything is confusing as all hell. You don’t know which .NET supports which feature, or even what you’re suppose to be running. It’s the fastest of the three and Visual Studio is still an awesome IDE.

We dropped PHP due to the lack of any really good frameworks, but now we have Laravel. PHP is still a solid choice and it’s fast.

In the end we went with Django because we liked Python and Django is really well documented and easy to learn.
Also have a look at GitHub flow: https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/ and GitLab flow: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/gitlab_flow.html which are in my experience better suited for CD than GitFlow. YMMV.
Ah, LTSC ... never has one of my hunch-based technical decisions kept paying off again and again. if only I knew the right people instead of having to get licenses in very sketchy ways.
Android developers should rejoice. A fully vetted and financially successful app is now available to create.
Hmm still don’t get how and why this is needed or not already there: a network to connect to another network.
TikTok hasn't always been as big as it is right now obviously. ByteDance acquired TikTok for $1 billion only 3 years ago. TikTok definitely was not as big as peak Vine at that time.
I've personally worked with ish and I can say this team is really trying hard to get everything right. The platform has gone through incredible changes! hats off, keep it going. much needed product in this current environment and beyond
> ...to support children and their families...

What everyone responding to my comment seems to miss is that it's not necessarily about the children themselves dying (make no mistake, many children will die if crammed back into classrooms prematurely), but their parents and other family members who will die as the result of them becoming carriers and bringing the disease home with them.
Both reddit/SO and say, classic forums, each have their own method of content discovery (reddit/SO always prioritize new items, forums push you to long-running threads), but both have their blind spots. With reddit you can end up with a lot of duplicates because a subreddit's dashboard decays stuff pretty fast based on the frequency of posts. It makes long-running discussion impossible. With forums you can have your long-running discussions, but you sometimes have to wade through page after page to find those specials nuggets of info.
SO is a garden, not a walled garden.
Modern day tobacco. 100% unregulated addiction.

FB, TWTR, GOOG, INSTA, everyone switched from timeline to personal recommendation engines and TikTok is just doing it so much better. Where will things be in 5, 10, 50 years? Terrifying and exciting.

Do these tech companies sit on research to suggest that these algorithms can induce behavior-changing tactics through trial-and-error? Will they all have their tobacco-causes-cancer moment?

Amazing read
Of the examples given, Rust can only do the first one, overrides + because it is treated as just another method call. Assignments struct constructors and dereferencing always do what they look like they are doing as they cannot be overriden.

Sendgrid banned us and doesn't answer support
I had not gotten any leads from my website for a couple days and was beginning to wonder if my business had suddenly been blocked from Google or something similar. Then I looked in the database and realized I had lots of pending leads, but I simply hadn't gotten the email notification about them. These email notifications were setup using the SendGrid API.

I quickly try to login into SendGrid but find that it is impossible. I get the message "You are not authorized to access SendGrid, please contact Support."

This ban has been done without sending any type of warning or information on why this happened to me.

I directly contacted SendGrid support but it has been weeks and they have not responded to me.

The SendGrid API is also used for notifications externally to customers. Because of the API being down, my customers get no email notification when submitting a lead. It is a complete travesty.

Has SendGrid stopped caring about SMEs?
>> the effect of monopolies stifling innovation.

Less monopolies, more so western culture. Many of TikTok's algorithms would be subject to great scrutiny if run by a western company. YouTube would face riots if it were caught openly supressing or hiding videos of disabled, unattractive, or simply poor people. But such "innovation" is fine for a Chinese company.

Eugene mentions that the algorithm is the one that built this latent interest graph and this algorithm itself is worth a lot of money. Given that most personalization is using ML/Deep Learning and various video features like scene descriptions, object identification in each scene etc, Is it really that proprietary to warrant this level of premium. Once the awareness of interest graph could be built to this level of efficiency using usual techniques, Is the algorithm and approach exclusive to TikTok ?

Awesome Insights from Eugene !!

Nest heavily prefers using a Google account now and integrates with using a Google Home's "household" members for giving access to your nest home.
For DNS blocking, I've switched my home devices to NextDNS and it works great. It has DoH/DoT, bundles a lot of blocking lists and has no logs option which are all I need. And I can manually add these domain names to blocklist if they're not added in any one yet.

Any number of successive rotations can be represented as a single matrix. Both are right at the same time: an arbitrary rotation (represented by a single matrix) is a combination of 3 rotations about the axes of the reference frame (represented by 3 matrices).
Because Apple is the one that will be party to a lawsuit if it ever came to pass. One of the negatives of being gatekeeper is you're no longer protected by "safe harbor" provisions. And I have to imagine Apple has enough money to be worth suing, even if it's frivolous nonsense.
YOU DON’T NEED TO WATCH THAT MUCH NEWS You will never have the political power to do something about all the terrifying problems we wave at you. The human brain just isn’t designed to take in a whole world’s worth of disturbing news. Most of us have enough trouble with the more mundane problems of finding inner peace and securing happiness for our loved ones. We know this, but keep winding you up anyway. In fact, the tension between the sheer quantity of horrifying news and your real-world impotence to do much about it is part of our consumer strategy.

#We create the illusion that being informed is a kind of action in itself#.

So to wash that guilt out—to eliminate the shame and discomfort you feel over doing nothing as the world goes mad—you’ll keep tuning in. The “You don’t actually need to be watching this all day” rule would be true even if news stories were sorted logically and according to social importance. They aren’t:

Both are valid searches IMHO. Acknowledging the results of the search is also important.

If we replace the DNA in a human OVA with different DNA we get a different person. I conclude therefore, that DNA plays a role in who and what we are, the extent of which requires honest study.

Thank you. I don't understand why my original comment is receiving a number of downvotes; the American public is wildly under-eductated considering the resources available.
My gut instinct is that Netflix can't use the personalized algorithmic approach that TikTok succeeds with because Netflix has to pay dearly for its content, where TikTok does not. Because of the cost structure of licensing, Netflix cannot afford to have the diversity of content that TikTok's user-generated approach enables. A small content library makes it impossible to build a meaningfully personalized feed.
I understand that. Just saying that when you word it as the certificate being revoked it's not immediately obvious that's a consequence of the developer account being banned. If the headline was "longtime Apple developer suspended" quite frankly I'd be much less interested, thinking it's a common occurrence.
Eh, yes, we have much more locked down systems with reduced capabilities. Consoles used it maybe for years and they are notorious for being useless for any third party content. You cannot simply write your own drivers for several devices anymore, so you basically booted a lot of engineers. It infected whole industries. We have locked down agricultural devices where users pay for expensive hacks. It is a complete nightmare actually.

For security... sure... actually not even my grandmother would believe it.
So you're downplaying the number of people who feel that way. You're also saying that their feelings are not genuine, and only forced upon them.

All this does not bode well for world peace.

Be careful of what you're wishing for. A democratic China may not be so different in terms of geopolitics as you would think (or they would be different, just not in the way you expect). Try reading what Kishore Mahbubani — ex-Singapore diplomat and ex-UN Security Council head — has to say.
To pick up on one point from the (fascinating) article:

> In the other direction, the U.S. hasn’t made a huge dent in China. Obviously, the Great Firewall played a huge role in keeping a lot of U.S. companies out of the Chinese market, but in the few cases where a U.S. company got a crack at the Chinese market, like Uber China, the results were mixed.

I'm genuinely curious to know which non-Chinese apps/services have managed to establish themselves in China. I feel like an argument could be made for LinkedIn... Are there obvious ones I'm missing?
...."got money for wars, but still can feed the poor"... #merica

It's at least as relevant as brand penetration is.
Apple is a media company now. They aren't just distributing (like apple music) but are creating TV shows like Amazon and Netflix.

I suspect this will bring about conflicts in the company between content creation and the hardware/software divisions.
Yes, but it won't work for activity on pro, only Enterprise and LTSC. You have to do registry changes to get rid of that on Pro and Home.

I'm a big fan of interacting with users to understand pain points, and helping guide the innovation needed to bring solutions to those problems.
If I lost trust in an OS, I would stop running it. Trying to fight an OS as a mere client of the OS is asymmetric warfare
Most people put their masks on well before the entrance. Removing them at a choke point, in the presence of screeners who come into contact with hundreds of people each day, would be stupid. I would only submit to this if it were done outside in open air (not an enclosed lobby) from 10+ feet away.
Looks like similar to Pydantic (included by default in Fastapi)
I'm only mildly familiar with C++, but the support for template arguments in lambdas looks like an analogue for generic closures, which are absent from Rust, but would be really handy at times.
Meh, childcare and education really need to be decoupled. By combining them we have something that effectively provides neither.

It's not superior, it's just a different type of data.

With Fitbit you also get heart rate, active times (gym, sports), combined with the optional phone-enabled location you can know person X goes to gym Y twicer per week and spends 1 hour doing HIIT. You can also get data such as sleeping hours, sleep patterns, at what floor a person lives or works (if he climbs the stairs).
note that an ideology on its own is not bad (or necessarily good). it's being ideological--adhering to an ideology against any and all evidence--that's bad. humanity, including science, economics, the arts, etc., is driven by ideology, ideas that take hold because of a tantalizing kernel of truth in them. progress (and regress) happens on the back of ideology.

the rational actor at the center of economics is an ideological construct that we act to always maximize our economic return. how we adhere, and the system adheres, to that ideal has been the focus of a significant strain of economic thought. behavioral economics is another ideological strain that focuses primarily on those deviations (perhaps as a dominant mode) rather than the adherences of the progenitor ideology.
This doesn't really explain anything. Why is Apple enforcing YouTube's terms of service on a third-party application? Especially via a mechanism ostensibly designed to stop malware.

Is the Transmission torrent client next because it could be used to download copyrighted content?
The developer's website (software.charliemonroe.net) is blocked by my ISP (Vodafone UK)'s adult content filter. This is strange as it does not appear to contain any adult content.

I don't think it's related to it being a "YouTube downloader" app either. There are many apps with this functionality and, so far as I can tell, none of the others are blocked.
Messaging and live chat
Note that C++ has had generic closures since C++14, with auto parameters. Template arguments are just a refinement for that.
Interesting that a few of the apps were also (voluntarily?) pulled from the developer’s website, so we can’t inspect them.
Frankly I think you're naive, unless you're getting hung up on "favor." If you expect me to believe that Microsoft would never cooperate with the American government like this, you'll have to do better than name calling.
I’m not saying her argument appeals to emotion. I’m saying it dismisses teachers’ reasoning as emotion. It says that teachers are “nervous”, not that they think that reopening schools will put themselves, their students and community at risk.
