You don't need a VPN for this. They are only banning providing the app via the app store, so Android users can just download the app directly from wechat.com instead of the Google store.

(Sorry iOS users -- you use an OS designed by a dictator. You can maybe try switching to the App Store in a freer country than the US, e.g. Canada or UK.)
In this case, "jibes" is correct[1] and is not a borrowed nautical term. In this context "jibes with" means "agrees with".

I'd argue that banning apps from non-free and non-open economies encourages a free and open internet by aligning incentives.

Really, reciprocity (and the paradox of intolerance) is an implicit expectation in many situations and we need to talk about how to deal with it.
Pi notwithstanding, it feels like this process hasn’t changed in 30 years.

Some people at Stanford put me on to Google in 1998. I knew in ten minutes with just a few searches that it was lightspeed better than everyone else.

Plus the portals took forever to load, even on a broadband connection. Google was super fast on my 4 mb connection. I went out in the next month and told everyone I knew to try it. I became an unpaid evangelist for Google I liked it so much.
Easy to search for.

That’s not the opinion though. That’s exactly what the parent is referring to. You need to listen, understand, and empathize before assuming that people who don’t agree with you must be racist.

The power is split across branches, not political parties. And I think you're forgetting that Senators are elected in by the people.

If you think the iOS users and just gonna cry and tiktok's just gonna be used by Android users -- or iOS users are going to suddenly switch -- you are deeply mistaken imho.

> It’s not fascism to do things the way the rules/law specifies.

That's not a workable definition. At many points in history fascists were literally the ones writing the rules and laws.

Also, it's not like the law is software proved with formal methods to prevent fascism. There are bugs and exploits that are only prevented from being problems by the integrity of political actors, and some of those can be pretty trivially discovered. The more integrity you remove, the higher the chance you end up with a configuration that results in something like fascism.
What a low bar to trip over when it comes to freedom of commerce.
That’s fair. But you are just proving my point. This research was dismissed out of hand, it wasn’t actually engaged with to see if it’s a correct assessment or not. That seems to happen whenever any sort of soft science research is posted here. There is a contingent of folks that seems to believe soft science is an oxymoron and therefore shouldn’t even be tried.

None of this is controversial or offtopic. Looks like the downvotes just proved your point. Folks don’t even respect a fellow liberal try to engage in a completely reasonable and civil way, forget any hope of them respecting a conservative.

The ironic part is that you allow a partial pass due to bad conservative policies, but during the time period to which you refer, the liberals were anti-gay marriage (DOMA anyone?) and ramming through “tough on crime” laws that they now decry as racist.

Specifically Newt around Vince Foster's death. You can trace the roots of a lot, a _lot_, of today's utter partisan obstructionism and foolishness — mainstreaming fringe conspiracy theories with the explicit and openly espoused purpose of wedging the other party regardless of its goals — to Gingrich making Vince Foster's death an unending headline news story.

I mean christ, Trump _still_ brings up Vince Foster.
Is it only just walled off? I think its also way more complex then it was 10 years ago. there's a big barrier to entry to just get started. even 20 years ago anyone could put stuff on the web. angelfire was filled with unpolished websites, and beginner site could keep up with the average. even big site were ugly and simple,js wasn't pervasive like it is now, yahoo was not pretty. or even dual booting linux is hard on a laptop with stuff being locked down in the boot process. hacking on stuff seems harder then ever if your starting from nothing

What are some of the practical applications of complex modeling? I have a hard time wrapping my head around where something like this would be used.
On the contrary, I highly value civil liberties but am perfectly happy with the government acting aggressively to protect national security. It's literally in my best interests!

Consider that (at an extreme) using the military to repel an armed invasion is most definitely a matter of national security. The authoritarian and the libertarian can both claim "national security" and mean very different things in practice.

Ensuring a robust judicial process and having precise definitions for such terminology are both serious issues here. The police are literally supposed to protect the children (and the adults!), but "protecting the children" is hardly desirable.

Edit:

> (A bit unsettled we now live in an era of "It's illegal to download <app to watch cat videos>," even if the national security concerns were true.)

I'm certainly no fan of the current administration, but how is a centralized and widely used social media app not a potential national security threat? For any country, it seems highly concerning to me for either the employees or infrastructure for such an app to be located in any jurisdiction that isn't a close ally. As an example, consider the destabilizing influence that Google could potentially exert by intentionally skewing search results for a specific topic in a calculated and subtle manner.

Honestly I'm somewhat surprised that the EU hasn't objected to Facebook or Twitter on these grounds. I suppose they mostly trust us not to meddle in their elections (and us them for that matter).

They did all of that during the primary against Bernie Sanders. They went so far as to call him a Russian plant. And the rigging of the Iowa caucus result reporting was unconscionable. They only reported districts that Sanders was not leading in, making it look like he lost. It took a week to report results districts he was popular in and he ended up winning the popular vote.

This is very bad news for Silicon Valley.

Allow me to explain:
As long as TikTok was around any talk of controlling or splitting the big tech could have been diverted by saying if you regulate or break us, China will take over the vacuum left behind.

With TikTok not only gone but also will be used as a precedence, big tech have lost the "China will take over" argument. Because the answer would be, no, we won't allow China to fill the vacuum and at the same we are going to heavily regulate you.

Whoever is coordinating (if it's coordinated) the future demise and break up of big tech has definitely earned their think tank salary.

b) take a flight to some remote location and spend a week there

> Is your ~20% larger apartment's AC fueled by burning methane?

AC is fueled by whatever electicity is produced from. Worldwide, less than half of electricity is produced from more or less safe sources.

> 20%

When choosing between a flat in a city and a house in a countryside the apartment area difference can be easily 200% for the same rent.

> A truly irrelevant question

I'm sorry I did not explained how is that relevant.

Trying to be spend money on what's "good" is a path nowhere. It will likely lead to the same CO2 emissions, because any person does not know how much CO2 this particular activity produces per dollar spent. (E. g. how much CO2 was emitted to produce this can of beer?)

CO2 emissions can be included in the price of goods (carbon tax), that way people won't have to behave "good" to be actually good for the environment.

Like if someone wants to take a flight nowhere, go ahead, take it, pay for CO2 emissions, but restrict themselves on doing something else which emits CO2.

Here's the line of thinking:

The idea is that ineffectual discourse without actual efforts towards reform is a method of signalling that one wants change while benefiting from the status quo of oppression.

Discussion is great, but the discussion is supposed to result in change, not a vortex of words which have no connection to reality.

When people advocate for lofty civility above all else when the status quo is violent, aggressive, demeaning and unjust, it shows that the priority is not justice; it is the maintenance of the current order.

Is this position accurate? I don't know. There's obviously countervailing concerns regarding having a chilling effect on the market of ideas, but like all tough questions, it's likely a difficult situation with no clear cut answer and two virtues being traded-off against each other. This seems to be borne out by the fairly dramatic spectrum of positions adopted on the issue across the globe.
Yes, that is a nightmare. You know how many messages you need to send over chat in situations like this?

ONE. Not at least. AT MOST.

This isn't like yelling across the hallway and being unsure if your friend heard you.

This isn't like coming to your spouse's room to tell them dinner is ready, them not coming in 5 minutes, and you coming back to get them again.

Work chat systems show read receipts. YOu know if the person got the message. And there will be a permanent record for them to see it.

If they're not responding there are two possibilities:
A) They saw the notification/you message
B) They didn't.

If it's B, more messages won't help notifications appear.

If it's A....don't you maybe have some trust in your coworkers (presuming this isn't a 15 year old on their first job at MacDonalds) that they know how to prioritize and if they're not responding to another human being it's probably because they have some reason not to?

They might be mid conversation.
They might be dealing with a production issue.
They might have a screaming baby in the room next to them.

And in all these cases, if you give them a minute, they'll arrive, apologize profusely for missed the 1on1 or keeping you waiting, and either proceed or reschedule.

Meanwhile, you've already blocked this time off for the meeting. So go and reply to some emails, or work on a promo doc, or hell if you work too hard already, take a break, and click around on hacker news for a few minutes.

It'll be fine.

To quote a great comment:

> McConnell had serious doubts that Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland, would _fail_ to get a majority in the senate, so he forbade the nomination to come to a vote. So it’s a little different than you pose: you a pretending that Obama’s nomination came to a vote and lost (which would be entirely legitimate). The majority leader prevented that from even happening.
> increasingly frustrated messages

Dude, your manager should never get frustrated with you because you didn't come or are late for your 1on1.

Your 1on1 with your manager is YOUR time. It's not THEIR time.

While I wish open internet prevailed, reality is that there are abuses with national security implications. That being said, this won’t be the answer to the national security quagmire.

> about:tabs would be the easiest thing in the world.

Thanka for volunteering! Can you link me to your patch?
Sure — and if the Mitch McConnell's objection to Merrick Garland's nomination had been political, it would have been one thing. But it was nakedly partisan: he refused to consider any justice that Obama would nominate, with no real reasoning beyond "we want a Republican to have a chance to fill this vacancy".
I am a liberal as well and had a similar perception and that bothered me a bit. But, as fair as I want to be I couldn't help but notice the Republicans always favored the irrational, the fearmongering, and their discourse wasn't simply the other side of things but crooked perverted politics. Maybe the liberal snark was a reaction in the first place. And what we're witnessing now is the reaction to that reaction.
Ah, my poor innocent friend. Let me disabuse you of your "only the left" naïveté. For, you see, I have just googled "Obama destroy America", and I'm going to share the first result with you.

It's titled "Democrats, like Obama, trying to destroy America": https://www.kenoshanews.com/opinion/writer-democrats-like-ob...

The author is upset, it seems, that the Democratic Party is making progress on their policy agenda after the 2018 midterms. So they must want nothing more than to destroy the country, because they're evil.

Lest you accuse me of cherry-picking, this was not unique.
> Just because your side is losing

It’s talk like that that leads to violence.

It’s talk like this that truly disgusts me.

And it only comes from the right.

So much for united we stand. There is only one side: American. And if someone is causing half of America to lose, is actively working to make that happen, I'd say that's evil. Wouldn't you?
You have a point in abstract, but in this case your argument is nonsense.

The president is repeatedly openly advocating for violence, and he's getting it. His party is supporting him, and refusing to enforce some of the longest-standing laws in the country.

That is what leads to violence, and calling it anything but evil would be a lie.
Comes only from the left? Isn’t it the republicans who are convinced that any politician to the left of Mitt Romney is a pedophile lizard person?
What data? We are talking about ads. It's not the crawling data which help in targeting, it's what people click on, it's what people read, it's what people do.

Being the search engine, if I search Asus computer, do you think it's the fact that there's Asus computer in the crawled content that will be used for targeting, or the fact that I searched Asus computer? When I click on the first link that say "Asus computer for cheap", do you think it's the existence of the page "Asus computer for cheap" that will help in targeting my ads, or the fact that I clicked on a page where it's about the value of Asus computers?

What matter isn't the content, it's knowing what each individual click and read. That data come from Google Analytic and Google Ads.

Why do you think Android exist? Why do you think Google Chrome exist, why do you think 8.8.8.8 exist. You are really mistaken if you believe they are for the good of customer (even though it's true they do bring some good), they are there to get that data and be the one that exclusively get that data.

If you want to compete with them, you'll need to beat Android, beat Chrome, beat their search engine, beat EVERYTHING that make Google what they are. Not saying it's not possible, but the cost of it make it nearly impossible.
Apple is like Microsoft, they’re successful not because they were first, but because they were the first to get it right and then commercialize it successfully. That matters as much as the original idea. Not that either haven’t made original contributions, but that’s not why they’re successful.

What "fallacy"? I'm actually horrified that several high profile companies are proudly advertising using this abomination on https://www.cloudflare.com/waf/.

I really do not want to use the product of a company that thinks it's a good idea to "protect" their software by paying someone to put something in front of it that strips out all input that "looks too much like SQL".

This is a bit like a food manufacturer paying someone to add antibiotics to their products because their hygiene processes are so terrible they suspect some E. coli might slip in from time to time.

Unlike say the insane sing-and-dance-de-jour you have to perform to make sure your server sets the right set of security related HTTP headers, SQL injection attacks, despite their prevalence, are a completely bogus problem. I'd go so far and say if you have an SQL Injection attack, the solution is to fire someone and review your processes and not to pay a third party to corrupt data coming in and cross your fingers and hope that they do so in a way that will hopefully both protect you from your engineering incompetence and not mess up genuine requests too much.

People cannot stand the idea when other enjoying themselves, while they restrict themselves for doing that because they worry for the planet.

Their intentions are good, but their methods aren't.

They ask other people to stop doing whatever they want doing.

What should they do instead, is to ask governments to making everyone stop doing that. And the best way to do that (and I apologize for saying it 100s time in this topic) is to introduce a CO2 tax.
