Sure, I'm not suggesting that it's an ideal, or adequate substitute, but rather that it may function as a coping technique. A temporary band-aid.

In the absence of genuine conversation or a close social relationship, this may be a stop-gap.

>is an act of a legislature

Seems pretty clear that this does not apply to actions of the commerce department because they are not a legislature. They are not finding China / the apps guilty of a crime or punishing them for that crime.

Even if Congress issued this ban, Congress has the explicit right to regulate commerce in the constitution. Trade embargo and sanctions are a very well established power of the government and does not include "declaring a person or group of people guilty of some crime".
It’s easy to find a lot of idiots who hate Trump too. Editing matters a lot.
It's interesting, but I wonder if

1) The majority of people disable the feature after a short time (if they needed it in the first place, it's hard to maintain the self-control to keep it enabled, when it's presumably trivial to disable), and

2) Whether the cognitive effects remain, even when it's locked, because the mere presence of the phone makes you think about it, and it being locked makes you think about what you're missing.
> That's pretty stupid. The device has no idea what the impedance of the sink is, or what the sink even is. AUX port on your car that requires max volume out of your iPhone to have reasonable dynamic range? Doesn't matter. Audiophile high-impedance headphones that need a bit more oomph to be usable? Doesn't matter.

Hmm, if this can be turned off in Settings (can it?), I think it's still a sensible default. Most people aren't using high-impedance headphones, and this little nudge could potentially save the hearing of a lot of people!
If they shirked building regulations and built the whole thing out of kindling and made it available to any arsonist anywhere in the world, we probably would blame the architect. Of course, if we have to torture the analogy to make it fit reality, it's probably not a very good analogy.
I didn't mean commenting arguments for documentation but commenting them out while you're writing and testing the script. I.e. this won't work:

command `# a comment` \
# --longopt1 \
--longopt2 arg \
argument

AFAIK there's no hack for this.

EDIT: Oh, `# a comment`. Didn't notice that. I'm going to explore it, thanks.
He never used the word 'bleach'. Ironically, he used the word... 'disinfectant', as did you. The media started off the rumor of bleach, and before you know it, his accurate statement was twisted into him telling people to literally inject or guzzle bleach.

And you wonder why we call it fake news.

Furthermore it was also shown that whichever "theory" you believe about willpower (consumable resource vs habituation like a trainable muscle) will impact your performance. If you believe it's not a finite resource but something that gets more plentiful and strong the more you use it, you will appear to confirm this theory.

No this is not "be like China", don't flatter yourself. When Facebook and Twitter was banned, there were imminent security threats as these platforms were used for organized crimes in China, and these companies simply ignores the requests from Chinese government to remove certain accounts. Google decided to not comply with local rules and left China by itself.

US didn't even bother to find a plausible excuse
19:23?!? Oh shit, dude, you caught me! I had so meant to change that sometime in the last three years! After all, HN people can't be expected to understand a joke in any context!
My take on it is that it's a distraction tactic. The current administration is pissed off at China for a variety of reasons, and wants to punish them, while also taking attention away from intelligence reports about Russian election interference.

I think macros are incredibly powerful when used parsimoniously, but can make code completely inscrutable and surprising when overused.

There's probably an unavoidable trade-off between the flexibility and expressiveness of a language and readability (and possibly compile times). It's part of the reason I would recommend a more restrictive language like Go in a professional setting, even if I would rather program in Rust at home.
You and I have completely different perceptions of reality.

I think (but haven't checked) that you lose the ability to boot from a microSD. I just switched it to USB because I wanted higher reliability for a semi-permanent installation and never checked if it would boot from SD if I removed the USB.

I’m not advocating for de jure censorship of Nazism. But a “power corrupts” hypothetical about stigmatization makes no sense — society writ large has always had that power and will always have that power.

And yeah, it sucks that people on the margins of that such as sex workers get hurt, which is why we need to push to change those stigmas. But the alternative is letting open pedophiles teach your kids, or asking Jews to defeat their genocide-preaching Nazi coworkers in the “marketplace of ideas”. So all things considered it’s a fair trade.
Trump is somehow trying to make money out of this. He has repeatedly said money needs to be paid to the US Govt. By US Govt, given his corruption record, we'll have to assume it means him or his family.
I'm all for putting an excise tax on new on gasoline cars. Make the owner of a new gasoline powered car pay their carbon tax up front. In this case you don't care about the money you want people to stop buying gasoline power cars. You can then that money to buy back older cars and take them off the road.
Not sure about Germany, but in the US we have HIPAA which sets security standards (physical and electronic) that everyone in the healthcare industry must meet.

I don't know if we are supposed to interpret the title as a joke or what. But most of the article is correct.

But obviously the prose-ish writing part is less than half of the task. It is not trivial to create useful computer programs (regardless of maintainability).

But one thing I would like to point out here is the extreme contrast in attitudes towards computer programs versus mathematical descriptions.

I have always felt that although the nature of math notation has historically made sense, the extreme level of obfuscation is a stark contrast to well-written code.

Love how people criticize the Chinese security state for banning websites and apps as infringing on free speech, but of the U.S. does it, it’s a smart move.
I'm using iOS Content & Privacy Restrictions to dumb down my Iphone SE as much as possible while retaining the needed functionality (Calculator, Camera, Notes, Calendar, Clock, Phone and SMS).
I uninstall other apps that can be removed.
Safari can be disabled using Content restrictions.
I install Here Maps, download offline maps for the nearby regions for when I need navigation. Data & WIFI are always off.
The phone is not signed in the app store.
Content & Privacy Restrictions are protected by a pin code that I write down and store in a relatively hard to reach place.
This way I have a relatively modern phone that is not a distracting toy.

I could get a dumb phone (I used one up to somewhere in 2018), but currently there is no dumb phone that would take some half decent photos and provide a possibility to navigate offline.
I agree. I too am not sure that these sorts of bans are the right move, but China's relentless restrictiveness vs. most of the rest of the world's openness cannot be good for the rest of the world.

Giant personal pet peeve of mine is for people to present themselves as arbiters of "the facts" and then turn out to not at all be about the science, but rather about trying to triangulate a centrist message in media. It is "the truth is in the middle" taken to an ideological extreme that becomes trivial to manipulate by simply funding crazier X-wing media.

On top of that this is a <1 hr old account registered to spam this one link to its own website. If there's a bar at all on HN this should be below it.
For me: Maps and WhatsApp.

I could probably ditch Maps (by using my spouse's when needed, not sure if that counts...), but I have family abroad and other family here), and kid photos to send etc etc. It's true I could do most of that via email, but the rest of the family is on WhatsApp and I would genuinely feel more disconnected from them then I already do.
> CCP having access to the data

Wow, CCP will be able to slide into 17 year olds' DMs. Massive security threat.

So much of the TikTok hysteria has been built on "CCP will have X". Is there any verifiable proof at all that CCP is actively and illegally accessing user data through TikTok?

Turn off all notifications. Turn off all badges.

Change default text tone and ring tone to silence (make or purchase a ringtone of silence). Set custom ring tone for your partner or other key people (you will always be happy to be interrupted by) to whatever sound you would want in emergency.

At this point, only those you would welcome interruption from can get your attention. For meetings, toggle phone to silent, so even the custom ring people won’t make noise.

If you “must” be reachable in real time for work, consider scheduling DND for all hours outside work hours. You can, on a contact by contact basis, designate individuals as able to dial through DND for emergencies.
I’m in the same situation.

I find the learning curve for FreeCad to be steep. And once you get the hang of it a little bit, you start running into bugs.

Agree, paper maps and two-way radios are both technology. The burden is on any other technology to prove they are superior.
Of course it's multivariate. But that doesn't map nicely to our tribal discourse, where everything must be binary and in perfect opposition. Nothing gets solved, it's just endless deflection.
OK, that must be a much later remote (2006+). The original remotes were heavily COGS optimized. For example, the first remote used a PIC microchip with 1kB of ram. We had 2MB of flash, so the server would create a massive state machine that the remote would then interpret (dumbly). For example, on menu #27 it would show four textual menu items, where say item #3 would cause IR command #38 to be sent then jump to menu #11.

This core architecture (server working out all of the UI and then sending it down to a psychotically dumb remote) was in place for all remotes between 2000-2005.
No, not in the general sense. Only for specific kinds of data/applications (mostly centered around securing PII, health data, and the like). But the general IT infrastructure has no foundational standard we require people to achieve.

And after about 60 years of IT, I don't know that we ever will. Efforts to certify systems/processes are often bogus (participate in a CMMI appraisal for a good example of this). Legitimate efforts to certify them are drowned out by the charlatans. And very few in the IT industry would desire personal certifications along the lines of PEs. Either they don't want the legal and financial liability, or they truly believe there's no value in it.
This is more akin to thieves robbing Hospital equipment. If the hospital had inadequate locks and security they'd still be partly to blame.

Apple has a monopoly on the service of distributing iOS apps. This is something that iOS/phone app developers need in order to conduct business, and which they are illegally (antitrust violations) being prevented from purchasing that service from anyone but Apple. No one (worth listening to) is claiming that Apple has a monopoly on phones.
You may want to compare a version number of a command to make sure it's bigger than (or equal to) the minimum version required by your script, though.
Sponsor is perhaps a strong word. You need another WeChat user to verify your account by scanning a QR code displayed on your app using their app. You need to do this when you create an account, and also if you haven't used your account in a while. I assume this is some sort of anti-spam/anti-bot feature.

Note that the above is just for the chat feature. You have to jump through more hoops if you want to make payments using the app.
If you have a Chinese supplier or have Chinese friends, you probably have wechat.

I agree. To me, "sed -e" is an expression as a whole, and replacing -e with --expression is on the same level as aliasing "sed" to "stream-editor".

I wonder to what extent the digital logic design is open source. The RISC-V core ought to be, but what about the memory controller or PCIE root complex, (or USB3)? Those parts are also very important.
> There is an opinion, that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the Government, and serve to keep alive the spirit of Liberty. This within certain limits is probably true; and in Governments of a Monarchical cast, Patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in Governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And, there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be, by force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.

Didn't NotPetya take down a bunch of US hospital networks, as documented in the book Sandworm? I can't research the exact citation, but there were fatalities. Perhaps the difference here is there was a legal ruling.

So I'm kind of curious on how do employees send emails company domain addresses using a service like AWS SES since I'm guessing most companies save costs and use AWS instead of GSuite for managing employees and more. I might be wrong here.
But let's assume if I were to assign employees in my company with email addresses so they can send and receive emails, how would I do that?
It is not. The Dutch government also sends T-shirts to hackers that disclosed a security vulnerability[0].

I assume most expats living in China use VPNs to get around the blocks.

The blocks are mainly there to keep Chinese citizens in line; from what I understand non-citizen residents seem to be mostly left alone, as long as they don't interfere with censorship and blocking intended for citizens.
I think the theory is that that's what OpenCL is, but for most people if you're building a dedicated cluster, you're buying Nvidia hardware anyway, and if you already are using the hardware for it, you might as well go native and get the best performance and library support.

I agree with you, in most cases, but unfortunately in some regulated industries, more and more auditors are putting WAFs as a requirement for secure architectures. No amount of explaining why it doesn't make sense changes anything, as the auditors rarely understand why they're asking for WAFs - they just need to check the box.

There are occasions though where WAFs can be somewhat useful, like where you need to secure a vendors webapp that you can't patch without them releasing a fix or trust, but for legacy or business reasons are required to run.

So some of us are forced to buy and implement these products regardless of effectiveness, and it is helpful to see how vendors respond I think.
I read during lockdown season earlier this year that jets still had to fly, even if there were no passengers, because pilots have to maintain a certain number of air hours per year in order to keep their licenses.

Offering these one-way-return flights is a brilliant way to recoup some of the money this costs.

Resistance due to money (and effort) that would need to be spent to migrate to Android is not the sunk cost fallacy.

A lot of times these standards can be satisfied by relatively simple mechanisms like access control lists which prevent legitimate users from performing illegitimate actions (like a nurse or doctor shouldn't be able to pull up any patient record) paired with extra-technological controls like stating that only the listed non-medical personnel can access a particular patient's records (like adding your spouse or parents as valid recipients of test results and health status information). These do nothing to actually ensure the security of the system with regard to external actors.

Additionally, you can often satisfy these things with policy statements rather than technological solutions. A weekly review of record access reports may satisfy in some cases, without needing to implement an ACL mechanism.
