I can't edit my old comment, but it's extremely disturbing that I got downvoted so much. What I described is literally the best practice.

If you don't use Docker containers, use some other form of Immutable Infrastructure like Packer VM images. But those are huge and clunky, so you should really get used to Docker containers. You could instead make Linux packages, but they don't make for as Immutable a system as the OS state constantly changes, and packaging is more work in general.
I think it depends on the size of the company. Some maintain a further distance from the party successfully, some even manage to criticise it, but I don't think you get to ByteDance levels of growth without close connection to the party. Consider that ByteDance has its own CCP Party Secretary.

Of course, this doesn't mean you're exploiting US data at the whim of the party, which is what Trump's actions imply the company is doing. I think you can successfully maintain a separate US structure from their Chinese one, and I don't think China really cares much for what US people do in their own country.

I mean FB has a lot of information about users, have you seen how you are tagged in the ads ? Any private person can target any subgroup and we know that FB transferred this data to different companies in the past, the probability that some government somewhere that wanted the FB data does not have it yet (maybe a bit outdated) is Zero.

Let's assume you block all applications that are suspected of relations with CCP (no proof, no trial) this won't stop CCP just buying this data from shady american (or foreign) companies so it would be smart to fix the root of the problem(data collection and brainwashing)

I think that you'd have to also implement indexes to make that work, just like SQL databases do. Even with SQL, I ran into plenty of cases that indexes were necessary for decent speed. Flatfiles would just amplify that.

And, if you're trying to use the VCS to do merges, the indexes will constantly get messed up, so they'd have to be reindexed after every merge to be sure they were legit, and it still wouldn't ensure uniqueness... Ouch.

No, it isn't, please stop repeating this misconception. Censoring and censorship are not limited to governments.

Many TV stations literally have censorship departments, whose job it is to decide what is and isn't shown, in line with the agenda of the network, not merely what the law mandates.

I'm saying that Oracle couldn't retract the releases already released under a free license, getting rid of OpenZFS altogether. They can and have relicensed the codebase, but we can just pull from the last version released under the CDDL.

From my understanding of open source projects released under a new license, they often can create a similar fork at the license change time where a version exists under the old license too. The exception is if they use the GPL version that allows updating the license
I'm pretty sure it's fuelled by pettiness following the sinking of Trump's rally in Tulsa, Okla by TikTok teens and K-Pop Stans. Being "tough on China" and national security are convenient cover. It's just sad.
Yes, sometimes. Depends on the content to be sent.

I also send messages to myself on Slack.
President Trump's executive order states these reasons for banning TikTok:

"TikTok automatically captures vast swaths of information from its users, including Internet and other network activity information such as location data and browsing and search histories. This data collection threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans’ personal and proprietary information — potentially allowing China to track the locations of Federal employees and contractors, build dossiers of personal information for blackmail, and conduct corporate espionage.

"TikTok also reportedly censors content that the Chinese Communist Party deems politically sensitive, such as content concerning protests in Hong Kong and China’s treatment of Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities. This mobile application may also be used for disinformation campaigns that benefit the Chinese Communist Party, such as when TikTok videos spread debunked conspiracy theories about the origins of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus."

Become Ansible: Zero to Production-Ready
whoa, detail from: 'Many cardiac procedures are based on a 1929 experiment by a German doctor who inserted a catheter into his own heart'

> In 1929 the physician Werner Forssmann saw a picture in a book showing how a tube was inserted into the heart of a horse through a vein. A balloon at the other end of the tube showed changes in pressure. He was convinced that a similar experiment could be carried out on people. Despite the fact that his boss forbade him, Werner Forssmann conducted the experiment on himself. From the crook of his arm he inserted a thin catheter through a vein into his heart and took an X-ray photo. The experiment paved the way for many types of heart studies.

nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/1956/forssmann/facts/

> He persuaded the operating-room nurse in charge of the sterile supplies, Gerda Ditzen, to assist him. She agreed, but only on the promise that he would do it on her rather than on himself. However, Forssmann tricked her by restraining her to the operating table and pretending to locally anaesthetise and cut her arm whilst actually doing it on himself [more]

I love it how the pendulum always goes way to far to one side, to end up with enough force to go overboard on the other side again.

I guess it's the most natural way to find balance.

Same story for testing. I think we are at the end of "move fast and break things".
They are going slow, though.

That they use their own search for this is not a big headlining marketing feature so they aren’t really evaluated on it.

I do think that’s a direct consequence of their experience with Maps, though I guess their hand was more forced on Maps and they had to tell the world about it.

However, using Siri and search suggestion they can, bit by bit, replace search results from other sources with their own without telling anyone about it. It’s a more careful approach.

Interesting article in Bloomberg just now:

The kicker is at the end:

“He thought that by making a promise to follow international standards or rules he would be able to escape the regulation or the kind of pressure from the American government,” said Ding. “But I think now he realizes he might have been wrong and that if he doesn’t want to sell the company, the only one who can help him is the Chinese government -- which is what he’s tried to avoid the past few years.”

It's the same with Huawei, if Huawei wasn't a government owned or backed company before, after the U.S. tried to kneecap it, it sure as hell will become one if only to survive.
> There is zero value in perpetuating a false narrative.

I agree, it just happens that your narrative is wrong.

There are important distinction to be made between government and private censorship, of course. Nevertheless, the word "censorship" never implies "government censorship".

It has been a legal requirement in the UK that databases must be able to delete personal data since the data protection act 1984 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/35/enacted - in particular see the data protection principles in schedule 1: the 6th principle requires that data is retained no longer than necessary. There are provisions elsewhere in the act that can require a data holder to delete data.

This is retaliation for China's unfair practices. It's not about propaganda, what videos are allowed or disallowed, or who might see which videos you watch. It's about the fact that valuable US tech companies aren't allowed to compete in China. If they were the trade deficit wouldn't nearly as bad. Now the Trump administration is hitting back. This is plainly and simply: Screw you, we're going to take something successful of yours.

The tactics are distasteful: Filing outrageous criminal changes against Meng Wanzhou and the campaign to ban Huawei products as well as this frankly gangster-like hostile takeover of Bytedance's business.

I don't feel sorry for Huawei. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Bytedance on the other hand is only guilty of making a fun product, but in the game being played here fairness to the pawns isn't a priority.

How much does a bad hire cost?
Yeah it is. But what I was more interested in is what an individual lawyer might be thinking in that scenario. What I asked was a more specific question. Place where I live in, first degree murder carries death penalty. So, I was wondering what a lawyer would do/think if she knew for certain that her client committed an act that qualifies as first degree murder (e.g. He confessed to her). Because then as far as the justice system concerned, the outcome of a fair trial would be death penalty and she as the defendant would be trying to circumvent that. Not sure why I'm down voted, I genuinely asked her out of curiosity.

Intro to Docker Images for Beginners
I've been a regular Python user for a decade and every Python app I've ever used has worked on stock Python. And vendor builds often ship with patches that make it work better on the OS in question. But I can see how devs often want bleeding edge releases.

From a stability, reliability, and CI/CD performance standpoint, I would discourage building your own Python. Things break more the more often your base version changes.
I have problem with the two different narratives.

Neuralink has two goals:

1) short term. better BMIs to to treat serious brain diseases with more bandwidth and more and better electrodes. I can see this happening.

2) long term. Invasive BMI for something other than treating diseases. Better electronics is not going to make invasive brain implants safe for consumer use, they just reduce certain risks.

To solve (2) Neuralink must solve fundamental issues in medicine related to body implants and brain surgery. It would be groundbreaking and probably revolutionize medicine even outside brain implants. Neuralink researchers might get Nobel in Medicine.

Breakthrough in brain surgery. To get FDA to approve brain surgery (making holes in the dura mater) even brain surgery to open and close the brain for no good medical reason would be insanely hard. Any form of brain surgery has lots of risks. Bleeding in the brain, seizure, scarring of the brain, immediate infection risk and late infection risk. Inserting lace with thousands of electrodes is huge operation even if you could do with with endoscope.

Breakthrough with implants. With the BMI ther are issues with coagulation and constant low level inflammation. It's both health risk and gradually degrades the effectiveness of electrodes. Electrode must be in contact with tissue and interact with it. There is risks even with teeth implants, artificial knees and hips. They collect bacteria around them and they are just inert objects.
I mean public in so far as it just happens without you thinking about it, that could be commercial too, its just more pervasive as public. When such infrastructure becomes a _guaranteed_ aspect of a given operating system. But until then people implicitly _want_ centralised.
Small, fast and seems to gave great interop with C libs. This has some real potential for smaller scripts/utils I think.

Meh. The difference is that rsync doesn’t really do what Dropbox does (handle syncing both ways) otherwise they would have been right. Ssh+tmux really does do everything this does and it does it in a way that doesn’t tie you to any single organization. The current company I work for uses the ssh to a VM style setup and I was able to just jump in. Everything was where I expected it to be.

Learning anything for me always follows this sort of structure (I'm sure someone will tell me there's some well known name for this because it seems so "self obvious").

Step0: Select the simplest achievable task in the domain of the new thing you are trying to learn.

Step1: Gather all the stuff you think you will be needing to accomplish the task (tools, materials, software, instructions, time!, etc).

Step2: Hit a road-block. It can be the lack of an indispensable tool or a lack of knowledge of a particular detail.

Step3: Fix the blocker (fill the knowledge gap about the new detail, buy/borrow the missing tool). If multiple roadblocks: Solve the one that seems most fundamental first; If stuck at blocker: seek help from others, sleep on it, give up (some things are too hard with your present knowledge).

Step4: If task still not completed GOTO Step3; If task completed: Select a new more advanced task and GOTO Step2.
