I actually use two phones. One is an old one I planned on recycling, but now I use it as my "focus" phone. The only apps on it are: Forest, Spotify, Kindle, and the ones Apple won't let me remove.

When I'm working I put my main driver phone in another room entirely. This strategy has been doing wonders for my focus, and I still get to jam to my favorite tunes while working.
There may be legitimate security issues with TikTok, but that's not really something that is believable coming from Trump or Republicans who are willing to outright contradict their intelligence agencies on Russia and election security and refuse any funding for additional security. Actual national security issues don't seem to concern this administration very much, but Trump has a solid track record of being exactly this petty.
Nearly every immature teenager of both sexes has stack-ranked their sexual interest in peers when gossiping with friends. Yes, a teenager hacking together a website that does such publicly is worse because of how it magnifies the behavior and its consequences at scale. But is that so beyond the pale that the individual is deemed incapable of ever holding favorable moral values?
I'm not ashamed to say I've gotten lost doing this occasionally and either turned on directions or just double checked the GPS.

But it's fairly infrequent and it doesn't happen twice in the same place.
> But this seems overly petty for even Trump,

Nothing is overly petty for him.
That part of the Constitution applies to Congress. They can not single out individuals (or individual corporations by Amendment 14) for punishment by legislation. Punishment is the role of a court trial.
That would be the Lima driver, different project. Hopefully ARM helps with that too, but Lima is a bit more mature than Panfrost and it is used for older hardware, so ARM might not think it's worth the effort.
They're not claiming it's not a backdoor; they're claiming the backdoor is not in "HiSilicon based hardware video encoders", but rather in management software associated with said encoders. The former would be near impossible to fix, whereas the latter can (supposedly) easily be replaced.

Edit: to be clear: 1, I don't know that the backdoor isn't in the hardware itself, but that's what they're claiming. 2, it sounds like the software in question is the manufacturer-provided drivers for the hardware, which is worth emphasizing, but not the same as the hardware itself being compromised.
I really wish there was c support. At least c syntax highlighting. Seems like an awesome editor, but lacking c, c++ and rust support is a real bummer
Rest in peace Pebble, in my opinion producer of the best smartwatches. A 1 or 2 day battery life is a drain!
Of course, militarily, economically, politically. China is having some of their worst years in decades. The US is doing great, just look around you
IMO a gas tax rate that is on par with the rest of the developed world would be the most sane way to combat this. Gas taxes in the US and Canada are dismal compared to many other countries (https://afdc.energy.gov/data/widgets/10327).

And of course more investment in pedestrian/biking infrastructure and more walkable city planning.
Funnily enough, I got into the habit of reading books on my phone. It actually started to hurt my wrists, because I ended up reading every free moment I had.

Walking somewhere? Reading at the same time. Cooking? Reading. Eating food? Reading. Walking through the supermarket? Reading. Sitting on a bus? Reading. Lying down in bed, because I'm feeling tired? Reading.

If my phone had been waterproof I would've probably read in the shower/bath as well.
Technically, you can on an iPhone too, just not for free and not anywhere near as conveniently.
There were various tools in circulation while there were no decent Jailbreaks. One that springs to mind was iReSign - according to its github page it's for re-signing app bundles with enterprise keys, but that's not what it was used for back then. People captured the .ipa files and signed them with developer keys and all sorts of unfortunate things happened after that.

TL;DR: "sideloading" for iOS = Free: no. Convenient: no. Possible: yes. Out of reach of most people: absolutely yes.
Sounds to me like your choice of OS is what makes your life harder...
You can maybe start charging some of these mobile devices via Solar Power Bank https://amzn.to/2RE10uT They can charge while you walk around by placing the panels on your backpack...

I know it's a small percentage of overall use, but if enough people start using solar to charge their devices and maybe in the future laptop batteries, cars and houses it's a step in the right direction

Now let's say your data (cars) changes. Due to some interaction, a car gets added to the list.

What the above code will do is completely replace the HTML for the entire list of cars, when really all that needs to happen is appending one to the end. If the list is big, your app is now slow.

If the user has something focused or edited in that list of cars (let's say they're editing the description of one), not only is focus lost on that field now (its DOM node was completely wiped out and replaced), but the user's text they were editing is also lost.
Even if the protocol was documented you couldn't use it without hardware which AWS won't sell you.
"if the customers are fake there is no load on the system. How does engineering not figure that out?

There were real customers and the customer growth was happening, especially in 2020. The problem is that the customer base and growth was nowhere near what Adam Rogas was cooking up on the backend."

This doesn't really answer the question. The article states 40-90% of customers were fictional, as a cloud architect I would have to design based on the number of customers ++ and of course I would setup monitoring and alerting with auto scaling and it would be blatantly obvious that my utilization was not going up and that would turn into an engineering investigation.

Would it leed me to the idea that most of our customers were fake? probably not. They might not even request additional capacity, but as a architect that would lead me to ask questions. For example after an announcement or company meeting where they announce the number of new customers, I would wonder wtf? How is it that we haven't added any more capacity for all these new customers?

I would see some red flags and I would like to think I would be smart enough to start looking for something new but I haven't been in such a situation thankfully.

It's difficult to read about 200 ppl being laid off and the impact on them and thier family all bc of one stupid, greedy person.
With every different job you do, you (should) learn something new and useful.
> On the flip side maybe Fdroid will take off. Is fdroid open source repos only?

FLOSS repos I guess, but they are 'opinionated' in which open source software they allow on f-droid which this statement goes against the entire idea of FLOSS. Even if the software is open source and free software [0].

As you said, Bytedance must essentially do the same thing as Telegram and relicense it as GPL3 [1]. That includes everything.

> If Bytedance was gutsy they could release an open source version of tiktok. They could keep their algo as closed off either as compiled code or for the app to make API calls?

Hence the above, I don't see this happening.
Ransomware groups targeting hospitals should be pursued with the same zeal that governments pursue terrorists, even if lives aren't lost.
Clearly a difference in magnitude can be a difference in kind altogether. The ability for disparately frustrated individuals to all echo chamber their way into a fever pitch that affects the news cycle and the political cycle is quite new.

Twenty years ago, an insensitive (and probably intoxicated) comment at a bar would be forgotten about the next day. Today, someone says the wrong thing on the internet and a pitchfork mob is ready to cancel their humanity forever.

Has this sort of witch hunting occurred in human history? Yes, but we typically taught these lessons as cautionary tales of the hysterical past, not blueprints for the 21st century.
Luckily there are a multitude of computing platforms where people with such uncompromising and dismissive views can take their business and let the market sort out the rest.

Can't help but think of parallel to programming languages as an analogy:
Would you say that incompetence of programmers is a valid reason to advocate for languages with strict type systems that prevent them for making mistakes? If not, then assembly language should be the only way to program with maximum flexibility and opportunity for innovation.
I wish I had known this 20 years ago. Thanks!
I think the people that expected this to happen are the same people who thought he’d succeed in building the wall. Although it probably has accelerated the need for automated manufacturing capabilities.

I’m sure there are many who believed this, but I’m also sure there are many like me who supported it solely because it would hurt China, knowing full well that the companies would just move their manufacturing to Vietnam, India, Mexico, etc.
I'm confident the people trumpeting "the paradox of tolerance" do not tend to mean the laws as they officially exist presently.
You can boot into the EFI shell or use your firmware setup (likely DEL upon boot) to reconfigure your boot records and entries.
I used to work for a big financial analytics company that used Angular 1.5 for everything. Around the time I left, they started migrating to VueJS instead. Obviously this is all anecdotal, and I have no doubt AngularJS is still being used in a lot of places, but I think there's reason to believe its share might be shrinking.
Using this reason to censor ideas that you disagree with _will_ lead to censoring ideas that you do agree with. Power corrupts, and if people have the power to censor certain ideologies, that will be corrupted and exploited.
Trump attacks a children's app because he is unable to do much against China otherwise.

US apps from Facebook and Google collect far more personal data and use it more malevolently.

Social Media isn't a substitute for healthy social interaction which becomes very evident when one looks at the psychological outcomes of people who use it heavily, particular say, teenage girls.

Most social media interaction isn't genuine conversation between peers but a sort of status contest in which people pull up façades and present idealised versions of themselves, mostly strongly influenced by whatever is trending within society at large.

An important finding of loneliness research has repeatedly been that loneliness is not equivalent to merely not being in contact with others. One can be alone but not lonely, and one can be lonely while superficially in contact with others.
> General election interference, manipulating public perception by constantly suggesting pro-CCP propaganda, aggravating the general public to turn on each other

You mean what's happening everyday on Facebook and Twitter often being instigated by Chinese and Russian actors?
Thank you for that comment! It's for quality comments like these that I come to Hacker News!
I don't imagine that minor code optimisations would make as much difference as shortening the time the user spends on their device.

The goal would then be to make websites as concise as possible, toss out all ads, comment sections, social media tie-ins, videos, needlessly long-winded articles, anything that slows the visit down, and kick the user out as soon as they have what they were searching for.

But capitalism doesn't approve of that.
I'm so confused about what's going on now. First it was Microsoft, then it was a technology deal with Oracle, now it's Walmart? and Oracle taking a majority stake, spinning out the global operations? Oh and Trump thinks MS are still involved despite them saying their offer was rejected? Oh and the IPO is planned for long after the election so wouldn't? happen if Trump loses. Oh and meanwhile the likelihood of China letting themselves get bullied out of one of their biggest tech successes. How much of Google, Apple, and Facebook will have to spin off to Chinese corporations in return?
Thanks, I hope to soon! I'm personally in your boat and would happily tether to a space heater if it got me some extra polygons. I think the data shows there are far more gamers on console, mobile, and laptops than on rigs. And that's part of Google, MS, Nvidia, and Sony's big bets on cloud gaming, that plenty more people would game on their potato laptops if they could. I think the PS VR is an interesting model as well since I can see general consumers going for a wireless headset powered by the big box under their TV. If the Quest 2 doesn't meet FB's expectations then Sony's model may win.
> Why just FullStory? There are tons and tons of apps that do this?

I've clearly mentioned they are not the only ones, but the most popular.

> if we don't want to be tracked I think it's on us at this point to use a blocker.

The main point of my post is to inform people this is happening, and use a blocker.

> As someone who runs a site that uses this, I can tell you with 100% certainty that without it we (a) would not be able to optimize user experience nearly as well

Everything happens in the name of user experience. There is a limit to certain things. What next? Sending an actual person to the customer and watching everything they do on their desktop to improve user exp and serve support tickets faster? Do you clearly tell your users that you are doing this?

What if I sat behind you and watched everything you do? I want to improve your web experience, help you faster and help make your product decisions at the velocity you want. Don't worry. You can use a blocker. But you don't know I am watching you tho.

> but also do we really think companies and startups have time to sit and watch all the user sessions?

That's your excuse? Haven't you heard of artificial intelligence? It can move through thousands of recordings in minutes.

> Not sure what folks are doing on sites like Notion

Notion has another privacy issue to be concerned off. This is not their main concern. Their user generated notion pages expose the user's email, full name, the collaboraters email and full names too.

> Seems like an unfair takedown to me.

Might seem so to you. I have no problem with it, but just to clear things, I have nothing personal against them nor am I involved with any of their competitors.
while i wholeheartedly understand your point. i would ask you to keep in mind that not even nurses are paid what they should. IT is not getting any money before them. i dont know who does the IT stuff but ill give them the benefit of the doubt that they have their hands full? or am i naive?
Some pretty spectacular performance on important single-threaded workloads. With a Speedometer 2 score of 113, this laptop is the fastest machine they've ever tested, including all high-end desktop CPUs save the Core i9-10900K which is basically a factory overclock that costs $750 just for the chip. If you could buy these, they'd be the fastest web machine you could buy.
The assembly system is very nice. Once I learned you could enter variables and equations into most of the operations & constraint fields in OnShape, my ability to model in it became much better. It's great for placing multiple symmetric attachment points onto parts to construct assemblies for example.

As the saying goes, code is typically written once and read thousands of times. It takes you less than a second to write the full flag name (add a few seconds if you need to look it up), but it will likely save at least a few hundred readings the time to look up the flag if they do not already know it. In addition, full flag names contributes "self-documentation" in many cases, and also potentially makes searching easier in certain cases.
> There are also many non-Chinese that use wechat.

Are there?
I mean these are separate issues and should be discussed on their own. The NSA spying is not good but that doesn't mean the US goverment is not allowed to go ahead with banning Tiktok.

Hell, if you can recognize something of the current USA goverment it is the effectiveness of their foreign policy. China is the remaining elephant in the room

And you can transition immediately? When things like that happen over here, adjustments are far from immediate, and my center is not in the middle of nowhere. Of course the papers are there, but radiology is pretty much out of service for a few hours. And then you have advanced/special testing that pretty much does not run at all.
Related to this, they're less likely to do something unexpected.

Many programs use -v as a short flag for --version, but some (such as curl) use it as short for --verbose

Probably something you'd catch pretty quickly, but still.
Ask HN: Should a developer wait for Apple Silicon or stick with Intel?
I am a full stack developer who is planning on getting into iOS development, should I wait for Apple Silicon or stick with Intel.

Is there adequate support for ARM architecture in the current software ecosystem. Does all programming languages and it's associated packages work in ARM.

Is there any gotchas that developers specifically will face with switching to Apple Silicon ?

Even though I haven't investigated it further, it seemed like the client was just a web wraper.

> Should Google, Facebook, Netflix be banned in Europe?

The EU historically has depended on alliance and trade with the US. If that corrodes, then it would make sense for them to ban those at a certain point. I doubt we're there yet though.

> The trade war started a while ago and I'm pretty sure China is winning it.

That's irrelevant to what I said.
Not clear why you expect any less out of 2020.
I have been trying to figure this out as well. I am just guessing as I haven't found anything specific, but since this is being issued by the department of commerce, I would assume that downloading an app from the Google Play or App Store would constitute a transaction, even if the price of the software is free, and the government can order that these are products that constitute a national security risk.
It wasn't, the deal was never completed; the point of the ban is to coerce them into selling.

Ok but it's not a tech demo or some proof of concept. It's a fully fleshed out game with high profile DLC and a strong mod community. Nausea has nothing to do with this.
I think it can only play Alyx through the link on PC, unless Valve decides to port it at some point in the future, which seems unlikely since they have their own investments in VR as a platform.
This sounds pretty cool! Features like this really open up exciting ways to deploy RPis, even for DIY folks like me who use them to do things like control projectors in a theatre show.

But man oh man, this page is a striking reminder that GitHub could probably use finer grained controls for commenting on issues. I sympathize with the person who wanted to close the issue originally, it looks like it just became a magnet for "Are we there yet?" seat-kicking and "I prefer commenting to thumbs-upping" spam. If there isn't already, there should be a way to toggle a single issue so that anyone can react but only org members can comment.
I have had a dislike for history my whole life. I just now realized that I don't dislike history, but the way it is taught, as a list of important people doing important things on important dates. This post on the other hand was probably the most interesting thing I've read in a long time.
Maybe we should look into things like being able to manufacture frickin masks 8 months into a pandemic, then we can double back and worry about kneecapping rivals.
Yes, somewhat. I was involved in a project a few years ago where we installed specialized light housing in the ceiling at the hospital I worked at. These units had a UV system above it. Basically it would circulate air over UV lights and therefore would help to decrease the amount of virus floating in a room. So potentially this could help with a system like that but that only solves a small portion of person-to-person transmission. Much of it still happens with-in family groups where you are sitting and talking/hugging/kissing etc. That's why mask wearing and physical distancing are key.

> was just remarking the other day while doing my morning constitutional that I can't remember what I used to do while sitting on the john when I didn't have a cell phone. I honestly couldn't remember. Probably just sit quietly and think and be bored.

As a suggestion, take a book you've been wanting to read and keep it in the bathroom. And while you're sitting on the pot, read the book.

That's what I do, and I find it to be quite satisfying. What's more, just going in there puts me right back in the middle of whatever I'm reading.

Or not. That works nicely for me, but might or might not for you.
I don't understand how you equated Carmack speaking about implementation challenges with being "pessimistic about VR". He still seems very gung ho about VR

EDIT: if he's moving towards other projects, actions speak louder than words. I didn't get that from his talk, or maybe I just missed it.

> The Chinese market bans most of America's social media software, and we're entering a trade war.

America is not China and should not frame its policies based on China's policies. While, I agree there is a need to retaliate but 'be like China' is hardly the way to do it.
