Honestly... I think the piling-on is a short term thing, between a violent event and the expectation of violence two weeks later. Nobody wants to be the channel on which a serious event happens on inauguration day.

I expect that following the 20th, Parler or its sequel will open on Amazon or Azure or whatever, and nobody will really think much about it. The immediate threat of violence will subside, and people will go back to the ordinary sniping at one another. Mostly on Facebook and Twitter, who will go back to being very lenient in their moderation policies. (And people will complain about oppression every time they're moderated against, but not enough to stoke a mass exodus.)

Mind you, it's cheap to simply predict "people will forget" and be right 99% of the time. But there's a similar countervailing trend to go "this time, it's different" with every significant event. I've watched enough of them come and go to want to remind everybody, "Maybe, but probably not".

>> I'm a professor at a US university. The honest answer (at least at the university level) -- probably we don't.

>> From what I can tell, there's very little enthusiasm for online education, on the part of either professors or students.

This isnt surprising -- you are probably polling people inside the system -- what about the many more people who cant join the system? I'll bet they have a very different opinion.

The US educational system, especially graduate education, is a game of money. Even those graduate students who are on grants are only the lucky ones who don't have sufficiently large family obligations to fulfill and can therefore stay on a graduate grant. Think of how many people need to work at their parents' shop, have to take care of a grandparent, sick elderly parents at home, those who are also caring for younger siblings, those w/o sufficient disposable income to sit around at quads sipping lattes.

Consider all the people who couldn't pay to play that game. I'm sure they would love an alternative.

Also consider the opposite problem -- people with money who do not want to take off two years (without income) to get a graduate degree, or worse, move their families to one of several key cities with top universities. They would also like an alternative that is mostly remote.

I feel like all the hate is aimed at the stereotype that TikTok is before they actually use it. If your view of TikTok is through the lens of media or the occasional repost, you'll find that it's mostly teens dancing to catchy music, which there is a ton of on the platform.

But there's so much more content under the surface that doesn't get talked about. Travel TikTokers give me ideas of where to go in 2021, I stole an Oatmeal recipe from a bodybuilder on there that I still make every morning. I took some ideas about Lightroom from a number of Photography TikTokers, the rabbit holes are endless.

TikTok I think it in it's "pre-mainstream" phase where you get the best of user content but it still hasn't been muddied by promo deals, partnerships and big media. Sure big media is there but most of the content I see reminds me of YouTube in that magical time between when it went mainstream with users but not big brands and corporations.
Some subjects work better than others. Many STEM topics that are of interest to most HNers are probably among the best things you can learn online.

I'm currently a grad student in Communication Sciences and Disorders. My field involves linguistics, speech and voice science, disabilities, and more. My education in online classes is absolutely of a lower quality than it would be in person. I don't think that will ever change until humans stop communicating with their mouths, faces, and bodies. Classes whose subject matter necessarily revolves around face-to-face discussion will always be worse online.

We need to be very careful on which subjects remain mostly-online, and which subjects we push back into classrooms.

Other than that, I have wondered whether "learning pods" will become a powerful tool (rather than a temporary bandaid to the problem). From what I have seen it seems like a promising way to lower the student-instructor ratio and still get some kids spending time face-to-face without traveling to a central location every day.

I'm fairly new to the topic but I'm interested in 3D and VR and generative stuff and I've always yearned to see ways to apply crazy GAN stuff to immersive environments.

One way is volumetric rendering or distance fields. I've been keeping my eye on NeRF but it seems a long way from being useful for anything realtime.

Vectors and mesh representations seem somewhat neglected and this project has given me some insight into the technical problems.

I've finally got CUDA running on WSL so I intend to start having a play with things. I've also got beta access to GPT-3 and I've been curious if it can do anything interesting in terms of generating structured data. Can it manipulate symbolic scene descriptions or generate meaningful vector paths? A few experiments with SVG haven't been terribly promising.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the general topic and any suggestions for things to look into.

What options do you miss?
Right, but that's not the point of either the article nor the comment that ChuckNorris89 replied to, the article is about a Chinese company in Europe/Germany, and the comment was about US companies in Europe. The only equivalent then is German companies in the US.

It's expected to have leadership in the domestic branch of any large corporation to be mostly from that country: few Americans emigrate to Germany for work, expecting the ~100k US-citizens in Germany to contain the CEOs of major companies among ~80m people (mostly German) seems ridiculous just looking at statistics.
And this is why UI/UX experts are so valuable in software projects!
Well, it's a huge company with far-flung supply networks and they can't control all working conditions (and stay competitive).

That said, they are trying to get rid of whatever slave-labor and child-labor taint exists in the supply chain. Probably it's not totally possible if you're sourcing from China and SE Asia, but yeah, they do have to at least make some effort.
It may be poorly put, but I think there's some truth to it: your most effective strategies for dealing with this kind of abuse are those that involve changes to your own behaviors. Trying to solve the problem The Right Way (i.e. at the source) is high effort and low (or no) reward. I don't think advising the pragmatic approach here suggests that abuse is the fault of the abused.

If you want to solve racial equality, and boost the lives of African Americans, then do something about absent fathers or single mothers. An expansion of planned parenthood, and removing all welfare incentives to be a single mother is probably a good idea (and instead encouraging intact families).

I did some cursory examination of the traffic other us presidential electables enjoy and was kind of blown away by how all except the top 2 basically have no traffic at all. The facebook likes and youtube clicks are so low it doesn't account for direct friends and relatives. This means not even the journalists around the world bothered to look at any of them. They had on average 1/3 article written about their electibility usually with the author explaining he didnt know anything about their program. Those who didnt disclaimer it all equally failed to say anything about the program.

There are to many of them for a [private] person to really look at all the programs but that out of many many hundreds of millions (in and outside the us) no one bothered to look at any of them rules out objectivity by the full 100%

It means people get all of their information from other people who also know nothing. Information limited to the top 2 groups. If team blue gets all of its information about team red from other team blue members you will have a similar total exclusion of reality.

And some of those was my team and our CI. We were capable of replacing old hand-written video player based off DirectX.net in an enterprise app - mainly due to new requirements for supported codecs and video formats. No more list of codecs and installation order on target machines.

It was very easy to integrate - I've finished a POC with a lot of functionality rebuilt in just around 2 hours.

We had two issues that we spent quite some time on, though:
1. When jumping a lot from video part to video part, especially if reading movie files from NAS, we've seen the component hanging - the only way to automatically recognize it hanged was to parse warning logs and restart the component forcibly.
2. Lack of native per-frame backwards movement. It is video player, not video editing component, and there is only a way to move backwards a few frames at a time by slowly changing current position.

Per Parler’s CEO, banks and payment vendors, law firms, text and mail services also cancelled on them. That’s why there’s talk of alternative currency, because otherwise AWS or not, when you don’t have a relationship with a bank or payment vendors, you’ve just turned into a financially conspicuous lemonade stand.

There is no one ring to rule them all. If it were just AWS, then the conversation would turn to switching to Azure.

Thanks for your comment, I really pointing out "learn why".

I try to explain to my 7-yo the _reason why_ for many things, whenever I can. Key is to not push it when she loses interest. If it's important, just end up talking about it again at a later datetime. There's only so much input a child (or adult) can accept before the buffer is full and needs to be mapped. It takes time to put into context.

Also accept that some things can't really be explained by everyone. A guy on YT with a channel on self defense said, "if you are not a violent person, you'll never understand violence", and I think it has some bearing. Sure, I can certainly understand that, in the case of X, he was beaten as a child and therefore may see violence as a way to handle his feelings, but that doesn't explain "why did X beat up Y unprovoked last Wednesday". There's rarely a single causality that explains things like that.

And, ads, yt-videos, social media, most often are manipulative. Eg the "youtube-face", excessive reaction-videos, etc. (no, she has no access to social media).
English is not my mother tongue, what is the equivalent idiomatic non-controversial English phrase?
This isn’t much unlike the question of moderation in regards to Parler for example. We need to talk about all views and ideas and opinions, whether it’s political or about your mental health. Well, maybe sometimes it’s both.

But you can’t bar talking about it because sometimes it’s bad. It’s tough.

Not saying you’re wrong at all. Just suggesting there’s a lot of nuance here and it’s difficult to manage. Your point is very correct and important.
It's convenient that companies can do more than one thing at a time. I agree that these are also important but I don't think they detract from this cause.
> This is not completely true, it only applies to students from other EU/EEA countries.

This is incorrect (for Germany) unless you want to go to a university in Baden-Württemberg (one of the 16 states of Germany), which introduced tuition for international students in 2017.

Everywhere else you will pay virtually the same fees[1] as a German national (<1k euro/year), except that you may be required to pay into a 'security fund' for international students if you have the means, which helps less-well-off international students or those who have fallen on hard times to pay those same fees.

Take the TU Berlin as an example: https://www.tu.berlin/en/studying/studienorganisation/finanz...

[1] Note that these fees are not tuition. About half of them pays for a greatly discounted public transport ticket, the other half for an assortment of smaller things.
Also, most development systems are built to do simple things easy and fast; after that you are pretty much on your own. So the first simple crud versions of the software are straight forward, but after that, unless you have (a lot of) experience, it gets a lot harder fast. Even for apps that seem simple. Then the lack of experience in part of the (full)stack starts to show; those are the parts which will suffer from issues. And indeed sql queries & db structure are often the first to go sour.
And would those sites be conservative media, who also advocate breaking up big tech?
