They are not very comparable.

The CCP has an agency within about 85% of Chinese firms, (soon 100%) to ensure companies adhere to the CCP agenda - they actively monitor, censor and promote state propaganda as well as track every citizen for potential wrong doing. Not only, the CCP will use these companies and all the information gathered for whatever use it sees fit i.e. theft, spycraft etc..

Xi can do whatever he wants, when he wants, to whomever, without any material oversight.

Imagine if Trump could dig into the social media records of anyone in America - and a few billion around the world, willy nilly, at will, and do whatever he wants with that information? Obviously China faces repercussions for serious and obvious 'breaches' but they can avoid most of that if it's hidden.

In the US, you generally have to commit some kind of crime or do something noteworthy to attract the ire of the authorities, after which a warrant must be issued for said person's information to be looked at - which is reasonable.

There is somewhat of a problem in that the US doesn't care that much about the privacy of non-citizens, in which case, a photo of you smoking pot could get you barred from entry into the US without much oversight.

This should be updated and regulated for sure - and non-American countries should either require 'foreign storage of data' or for reciprocity in terms of the information that can be looked at.

I don't like Trump, but his push on TT has merit. What he should do is enact legislation that applies universally so that it's not directed in a politicized manner at a single company wherein there is a conflict of interest (TT users ganged together to help ruin his GOP convention - I don't think CCP had anything to do with it, but surely he's angry and wants personal revenge).

It's hugely hypocritical that the EU is so keen on user privacy and allows TT to exist within it's borders. They can't allow data to be stored by any systematic authority that by definition will use that data against the person and state of EU.

Xinjiang is awful, but in the context of how TikTok is a national security threat to the US it's less relevant than the points dustinmoris made
As a Chinese subsidiary of a western company, isn't there a requirement that Arm China is 51% owned by Chinese owners. If the Chinese government pushed the matter, I imagine those 51% would have to vote the way China wants, so the parent company's mere 49% ownership counts for nothing if China wants otherwise
Part of the role of government is to fix negative externalities caused by free markets. The environment for example, worker protections, etc.

I’d argue that this is an example of the US making the playing field more fair and competitive. TikTok has free reign in both the US and China. US social media companies don’t. If the US banned Airbus from selling planes in the US, do you think France and the EU would just say “well, the free market will win out!” And stick to that principle and not subsequently ban Boeing?

I’m also a bit baffled at the overreaction here. I’m paraphrasing but comments that imply that the US does this wantonly and regularly are quite confusing, as are ones implying that the US is losing it’s free market leadership or something. Factually this is incorrect as it’s well known that other countries have more free and fair markets (Nordics for example), and I think similar comments imply some sort of international agreement that views US actions here as bad, when that’s unlikely to be the case and certainly hasn’t been proven.

> you can expect that GDPR will loose relevance as EU & others will also look into banning foreign internet companies.

I don’t see any credible evidence of this. It would be very bad for the EU as well and I don’t think Europe really has this desire. But you can also look at proposed taxes that don’t specifically target but mostly only affect large US Internet companies to see the protectionism that the EU is engaging in as well.
Pointing into the head or away from the head are not ergonomically viable options. Realistically, if you are going to have a quarter wave antenna the product shape is going to look a lot like an Airpod, but not necessarily shaped as a white amorphous blob. Like a large touchscreen on phones means a rectangular slab of glass shape, but the industrial design around the slab can look different.
Makes sense. Is it enough pressure to power a rudimentary digital computation without needing another source of power? Hmm.

You present a lot of opinions but not really anything to back them up. Furthermore, this is incredibly US-centric in a way that's just not relatable at all if you're not mired in all the tv drama there.
So Huawei is a premium member of RISC-V International[1], and probably one of the drivers of their move to Switzerland. They repeatedly threatened to move to RISC-V [2], but so far, their semiconductor subsidiary always licensed from ARM.[3]

I personally expect some announcement to be made late this year or early 2021. Huawei in general waits very long before it announces products or services, perk of not being a publicly traded company. Just as an interesting example, they seem to be developing a programming language and want to release it early next year, but no public announcement of any kind has been made yet. [4]

Ah, no it doesn't. कढ़ी comes from the verb काढ़ना, whose past tense is कढ़ी (हुई) [1][2], which in this context means something which has been thickened/reduced over heat.

Curry leaves have nothing to do with the etymology of कढ़ी. They are not even used in North Indian variations of Kadhi, as e.g. in Punjab.

Fascinating subject.

I feel someone should make a long-form, James Burke Connections style piece on how mountain gravity was measured and how it fits in with history.

The label on the tin might say, "While surveying the Allegheny mountains in 1772, surveyors encountered a systematic error they could not explain, and took a side track into the developing theory of gravitation to resolve it." It ties together Newton, Cavendish, Mason and Dixon, the Royal Society, mountains on two continents, the mass of the Earth, and the fields of astronomy, geology, physics, and surveying.

What you say is all true, but it is important to remember that the US diplomatic power is fsr more efficient than the brute force you allude to.

If the US hadn't allowed NSA to spy on its allies, fewer of those allies would now be inclined to join with Huawei.

If the US didn't have Guantanamo, fewer countries would block extradition of people of interest to the US.

Sure, if you are a super power you can pretend might makes right, but it still comes with a cost.

WebAssembly is an example of an IL that it is supported by many languages.

You're not wrong, but the US/UK get the blame when client nations use weapons sold to them (see: Saudi Arabia). The Chinese shouldn't get a free pass for selling weapons into the Middle East with scant regard for how they're used either.

Apple also controls the hardware - for example they prevent vendors from selling some spare parts to 3rd parties. For example if a USB charging chip dies, you cannot replace it yourself, because you can't buy the part.
It is great indeed. The only thing that disappointed me was the way they presented the increase in depression data. They mention that there was a 100 and something percent of increase, which is a percentage of 2 percentages.

Other than that, I think that it brings to light what (possibly) happens behind the covers of those systems, as it's always trying to get you back on the platform. I remember that every time I get a notification about something.

Re 2.: OTOH, the bias is extremely tiny, there's only 2 out of 2^31 cases which are problematic, or one in a billion. A generic RNG obviously shouldn't do it this way, but for most applications it would be good-enough really.

Cryptography doesn't depend on random numbers for its random seed. It depends on unpredictable numbers. These are not the same thing. As long as no-one can predict what the next number will be it doesn't matter how "random" they are. TFA is sufficiently vague it's unclear if the author understands this.

The more I read it, the more confused the article appears to be (e.g. mersenne twister is NOT a good example of a modern or high quality PRNG). For more about secure random numbers in Linux, I'd suggest reading [0].

To make a dice roll uniform, wouldn’t it be easier to do randomNumber % 8 and only use it if it is from 0 to 5, and discard and re-roll otherwise?

(Since we can reasonably assume that randomNumber is a binary number, and thus would be balanced over 8 values instead of 6.)
> everyone sees the same thing

Mostly. I've seen issues where PDF looked fine on a Mac but not on Windows.

Also, the fact that you see the same thing everywhere is good if you have one context of looking at things - e.g. if everyone uses big screen or if everyone prints the document, that's fine. But reading PDFs on e-book readers or smartphones can be a nightmare.

> can't remember when the US built concentration camps

2001 Afghanistan and 2003 Iraq war, hundreds of thousands of Muslim men were imprisoned without trial. And they were proper prisons not dormitories.

The fact that you bring up salaries perfectly represents everything wrong with SAP.

A job is more than a money maker, it's a platform for expressing yourself.

SAP wouldn't understand that though, so they hire the mediocre (to write Java, a language explicitly designed to cater to less capable programmers) to produce joyless, soulless stuff.
Of course they pay well, they have big customers with no taste for good work, but plenty of money, nobody in their right mind would take on a SAP job if the money wouldn't make up for the grueling tedium.

If you think that it's either SAP or node, oh boy, thats a false dicotomy of hilarious proportions.

And BTW, I've heard that Cobol salaries are quite high too.
And many of America's own citizens criticize the US government for running it. What happens to Chinese citizens when they comment negatively on the Uighur camps?

The fact that the US does not always live up to the ideals its espouses is no knock against those ideals.

The American system, for all of its faults, at least manages to select correct at times to point closer to its ideals. Maybe I don't follow closely enough, but I generally don't see anything like that happening. Perhaps a bit of 'de-Maoification' of his personality cult at one point?

The embrace of a more market economy wasn't a good accepted for its own sake, but more for its practical benefits, so I wouldn't count that.
Yeah it has internal GPS, works without WiFi and SIM and sets automatic height restrictions based on where you are. I live in Brooklyn near an LGA approach vector, surprisingly it tells me the maximum height is 150m, which still feels pretty high considering how low jets pass over on their way to LGA.
A misunderstanding of markets and protectionism.

The US is actually a fairly open market and will continue to be for some time.

The US is generally the opposite of 'protectionist'.

Europe et. gain tremendously from G, MS, FB, Amazon etc. and would be setback considerably without access to these value creating services.

The US would have to go 'very far' before Europe could remotely consider a 'ban' on such services.

Though changes in taxation rules etc may happen.

The problem is that many people, including my wife, are OK being shown ads. After watching the documentary, I uninstalled Instagram and logged off Facebook as I hated the thought of being manipulated. My wife (and her friends for that matter) though concerned over the impact to kids, was back on Instagram about an hour later. "I'm ok with all these ads, some are useful".

So though it should help parents navigate this better for their kids sake, I'm not sure it will impact everyone as much as we think it might.
>Part of the role of government is to fix negative externalities caused by free markets

Sure but it is about how you fix them. Suddenly it is becoming acceptable for governments to control the access to services of their citizens - much like the way China & Russa used to do since ever. These things have far reaching implications beyond business, it's not like putting high tax on imports.

China employs child labor, should USA start using child labour too to compete with China?

If it's not obvious already, I am not fan of China's way of doing things and what I am advocating is that the west should be tackling the issues without becoming China. Yes, I get it, china blocks Facebook but the answer to that should't be blocking TikTok because this means that China got it right and the way forward is being like China.

> Oh... can you show me those 100+ other languages that have (some unique Rust features)

I use it a lot. It's really nice having one environment if you use different dev machines from time to time (in my case a PC and a laptop), develop on the target OS (I don't have Linux installed on all my computers but only develop in Linux), the cost is negligible and performance pretty much like a local vscode.

Not being able to code without internet is the only disadvantage but I usually don't do that anyway.
