I wouldn’t call it starry-eyed from where I sit. I’m in Columbus, I’m watching other cities bring in corporate jobs from tech companies (Austin, Raleigh, Nashville, Pittsburgh, etc.) and frankly those places aren’t that much different except maybe Austin b/c of the semiconductor history.

Network effects matter and while it might be silly the signal of a company moving to your city really does attract other businesses. Right now we are relying on family and friends, like someone grew up here and wants to be back near family.

Meanwhile we got a new Google data center with $50+ million in tax breaks for checks notes 20 new jobs.

I’d take Palantir.
It's no different to most other social networks that commit mass abuse of user data and track everyone, everywhere.

Being a US-based company doesn't make this any better, just look at Facebook.

The only people who worry are people on HN. Most other people aren't aware of what's going on, or just don't care.
People who get their world-model from established media are only “informed” in a very narrow literal sense.
Yeah, I regularly do this.
As a Frenchmen, Youtube is exactly the same:

- algo is a black box, and uncalibrated youtube makes my eyes bleed;

- own by the biggest spy on the planet, google, known for manipulating information, monopolistic behavior, participation in the worst gov programs (e.g: PRISM);

- impose American censorship rules to the entire world, and makes creators do inane cuts to fit some terrible metrics

Besides, the typical Tik Tok customer doesn't give a damn about those things. They didn't on facebook, insta, whatsapp, or whatever. They don't even know it's an issue, "have nothing to hide", don't care about privacy, power centralization, citizen spying and so on.

So Tik Tok or something else doesn't matter.
I love this comment. 15 years ago we were refusing Windows-only tools to protect the Linux users, today we are refusing Linux-only tools to protect the Mac users.
Tiktok is very much a product of the 'free market' segment in China. The government does have a minority ownership stake in it now, but that's very recent and they played no role in it's founding by Zhang Yiming, a programmer and serial app and online service founder.
> “To sum up, I may say that if the taste of our people [in France] for possessing land, and our habit of cultivation on a small scale, have singularly facilitated our progress towards equality, it is probable that the excess of opposing causes will drive the English in the same direction”

Alexis de Tocqueville, 1861, cited in https://www.independent.org/pdf/tir/tir_12_02_01_choi.pdf

That the French (still) have access to good meals (not sure what you have in mind specifically) might have quite a bit to do with a history of small scale farming. That and a climate conducive to small scale farming. It remains to be seen how long this will last. The forces of globalization are rapidly eroding local culture everywhere around the world.
Mediawiki has worked well. I’d be curious to hear others experiences with it.

VisualEditor is an extremely good WYSIWYG interface. The wiki is able to scale well (project sites are unlikely to approach Wikipedia scale). The API is useful. Wikitext editing gives power users a lot of flexibility, though it’s not as popular as Markdown.

Access control & edit-publish workflow options may be too limited for the desires of some project teams.
I know plenty of wealthy tech investors and founders who habitually carry more value than that on their wrist. Curiously they never seem to get stopped or have their assets seized.
However, YouTube retains the top spot for overall time spent - not per user - as it has many more users overall.

The ship has sailed. And with upcoming decentralized web technologies that ship will cross the point of no return.
youtube is my main streaming platform, but i have come to understand the appeal of tiktok. most of the things that are inherent to the tiktok platform, i have to manually do while using youtube.

a couple of examples are manually ignoring click-baits, overly long videos and explanations, multiple parts videos (some are genuine, but most are bad-intentioned), creators and channels i don't care about, etc.
We'll see how you feel when China takes over the world and your kids are only allowed to play video games 8pm-9pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday... unless you're Muslim in which case all of you can work in a labor camp with no rights or technology.

From a non-us perspective it isn't really that different.
Interesting article. I've never thought about psychedelics as an ideological tool, only as a brain stimulating tool.

Because of that the view on Psychedelic culture is subject to the psychedelic market. And right now that market is mostly underground so we get an uncommercial and fringe view on the culture. The usual ¨connection with everything¨ and transcendental idealist world views, but also the more paranoid and schizoid POVs. Which are all a reflection of common worldviews that already exist everywhere. Psychs just intensify that in people.

Psychs are only a chemical, there is no ideological component to its effects, only those brought by the user itself. The ideological inclinations of a person that consumes psychs are determined by that persons ideological upbringing, knowledge and mental stability. Its only media, education and their mental health. Which are all factors of material reality.

Some things are Transcendental idealism is brought on by religious ideas of other worlds that permeate much of the social fabric. Spirituality comes from religious ideas as well and from philosophical ideas of harmony (most with a heavily ideological background). Paranoia and persecution by the fundamental lack of knowledge and power a common person has over how their society operates and the exploitative nature of our society. Conservativism and elitism by our right wing media (even liberalism is right wing). Lack of mental health by shitty upbringing and lack of mental health support. Mix it all together in an intense, mind bending and mostly subjective or illogical experience and you can get people ranging anywhere from drug addict to bus stop Jesus to casual ¨i need to get my life together¨ guy all the way to Elon Musk kinds.

Maybe do an ideological analysis on class, media, education and mental health and you might get closer to understanding the outcomes of psychedelic mindsets.
This is a bit of hit for US cultural dominance and influence.

How so? Almost everything I watch on tiktok is made by American content creators..Is TikTok proper even available to Chinese residents?
I'm listed as the technical contact and have been for 5+ years and also get the regular mails to 'verify contact details'. I did not get the Aug 25 email. I did get the Sep 4 mail from that list ID.

Once I noticed I did not get an email, on Sep 3, I checked some checkboxes at https://my.atlassian.com/email
But that page also says tech contacts should always receive an email regardless of settings. I have received other security announcements in the past.

Office 365 can't find any emails from Atlassian on Aug 25 when searching using the Message trace tool (which also includes any spam mails, deleted mails, et cetera), so I would suggest Atlassian fix their mailing list.
I don't mean controlling the fans. I mean voluntarily throttling down the frequency of the CPU (and telling it it should not up-throttle even when the load goes high) so the computer actually stays cold even without the fans.
Every TikTok user I know tells me that the primary reason they use it is the algorithm. Apparently it’s way ahead of YouTube. Anecdotally I am in the same boat as you—ended up removing the YouTube suggestion sidebar with an adblocker due to its increasingly poor quality.
And they should.
I feel that way about Google, Netflix, and Amazon. I’m an American…
TikTok will surpass both Youtube/Instagram in terms of videos watched, tiktok will also change the way we consume content and how we interact with it.
They also came further in solving comments to videos unlike Youtube where comments section is a toxic wasteland.
I love this article because it describes everything that is wrong with recruiting today.

The quote from the matrix is suitable to all these recruiters... "how about I give you the finger..."
> . I know that when an individual uses an electronic device to communicate withothers in order to commit a crime, the individual’s electronic device will generallyserve both as an instrumentality for committing the crime, and also as a storagemedium for evidence of the crime. The electronic devices are an instrumentalityof the crime because it is used as a means of committing the criminal offense.The electronic devices are also likely to be a storage medium for evidence ofcrime. From my training and experience, I believe that an electronic device usedto commit a crime of this type may contain: data that is evidence of how theelectronic device was used; data that was sent or received; and other records thatindicate the nature of the offense.

Right from a recent court filing, search warrant.
In our implementation the source/creator of the media is verified as well. I think of our approach as "Twitter blue checkmark meets certificates" (sort of). Of course a user can always take media and re-upload it via any number of ways but they can't do so as any other user. One of our next steps is to have identity verification by way of social media accounts and Stripe identity or another identity verification platform.

The primary verification source is our API that interacts with a traditional data store. Blockchain only serves to add additional verification that we (or anyone else) isn't modifying or otherwise tampering with our verification record.
It should have made you mortgage the farm to buy stocks, just as the record returns now should make you think about finding other markets…

>I'm saying it renders any naive usage of the S&P as a proxy for company returns introduces a huge dollop of survivorship bias. You're adding up all the increased returns of the companies that did well and culling out any influence on the stats from companies that did sufficiently poorly, which is about half of the companies.

I'm fairly sure that's factored into the indexing methodology[1]. In other words, they're not just adding up all the market caps of the 500 companies and calling it a day. This seems to be confirmed in the price data. The s&p 500 index grew by 300.9% from july 2011 to july 2021. In the same time period, The share price of VOO (an S&P 500 index fund) went up 302.4%[2][3]. In other words, the returns of the index very closely tracks the returns had you invested (unless you think the VOO fund has the ability to print money).

The headline is a bit misleading

in the article:
"average time per user spent on the apps is higher for TikTok...
However, YouTube retains the top spot for overall time spent - not per user - as it has many more users overall."

The average TikTok user spents more time, which is still interesting. Maybe kids just have more time on their hands.
So? TikTok is just an app, what is point?
Who is the "shareholder"? The shareholders are the collective owners of the company. That is, the people/organizations who own a share of the company. Full stop. No one else is a shareholder. Neither the working person toiling away, nor the army of intermediaries are shareholders (unless they happen to also own stock).

And value in the phrase "shareholder value" is economic value. I.e. money or that which can be measured using money. It's not personal fulfillment, social well-being, global health or anything else like that.

At larger firms, shareholders typically contribute nothing to the management and operation of the firm. But concepts of ownership in the modern world do not hinge on labor contribution.

Note, I'm not advocating what I wrote above, I'm just describing the state of the world as it is.
What?

CPU endianness switches work fine, IME - I have pools I originated on SPARC Solaris that work fine on x86, I just got a patch landed for an edge case in one recent feature not interoperating properly between endiannesses but other than that it's worked fine for me.

What kind of issue did you see?
What do you call a nation that spends 800B on the military while their infrastructure rots, routinely sponsors coups all over their hemisphere and maintains an aggressive forward military posture all over the planet?

A democracy.
> Haha, what a silly question...except the guy actually did have a large amount of United States currency in the vehicle. Either that cop is the world's luckiest guesser, or they had some reason to think he had a bunch of cash in his car.

… or he asks everyone that he pulls over that question.
So you're objecting to the natural evolution of language.
As a European: this is extremely funny. America has been doing this for years. Apparently only when it's not America doing these things it becomes a problem?
I think they're very different platforms serving completely different content. I see tiktok as instagram/twitter/snapchat's competition rather than youtube's. If you go back several years on youtube(like 10 years back) you'll find a lot more casual low-res videos of people being goofy/interesting without any agenda to build a following. Nowadays youtubers are all "Hey guys thanks for clicking on my clickbait title don't forget to smash that like button and subscribe I know you're here because of the title but I'm going to do a long intro about something else because I really need this to be 10 minutes long." To be fair many of these are great documentary/educational/infotainment/explainer series on Youtube that I won't find anywhere else. Wendover or Real Engineering are more well-known examples but there's a long-tail of niche history and economics accounts I like to follow that formats like tiktok won't serve anytime soon.
Very unfortunate. Mud slinging and blame game tactics to prevent neutral discussion are the bane of society.
You are mixing around client and server side ideas, so I’m still convinced that you don’t know how web services work.

You also don’t seem to understand the gravity of an international criminal warrant, and counter with ideas of “paying a provider in Timbuktu to mask IPs”.

TikTok algorithm is like a tamgotchi with short memory. The echo chamber is actual much less than on other systems, or at least this is my actual understanding.
I've been working on AI and ML for 20+y now, I'm always interested is testing the systems out there from the user side.
Overall, I've been surprised by TikTok, as I did find it very enjoyable actually, and easily 'trainable'.
I think you missed the sarcasm (or I'm reading something into that article that doesn't exist).
The way I thought that the blockchain would be employed is to use it to track transformations of the image. Post-processing, adding captions, and what not. This would provide an audit trail of changes to the original source image.

If, in fact, we can’t reliably sign the source image as authentic, then the rest of the system falls apart. It seems like this is the crux of the problem.
> where the line is

high salt and/or sugar content foods, whether processed or not, is probably not great for you.

It's just that "processed foods" usually have extra flavourings added (such as salt) to enhance it, for sale purposes.

So instead of targeting processed foods, the targeting for healthy eating should be portion size and amount, followed by freshness.
“Making journalism better” implies some sort of smooth continuous transition to a new state, where (implicitly) the existing journalist class has not been liquidated and gets to keep their high-status credentialed writing jobs. This can’t really fix the core problem.
Whether saturated fats are good or bad depends on more than the length.

If the article says that, then the article is wrong. Any shareholder agreements that exist are simply restrictions on disposal of the shareholder's ownership stake.
Sure, you could do that too at least on Intel ones. Generally it makes sense to do it indirectly with the fans.

It’s really not needed on the M1. The only time my Air got warm was in a game.
OK, but irrelevant.

Letting that on your phone is allowing your contacts, photos and text messages to be read.

Same goes with facebook. But facebook will try to profit off of your data. Tiktok data goes to China. I don't know what they are doing with it..
I wish someone at YouTube could explain, but the recommendation algo is nothing like what it used to be. Every refresh would bring a gem, now it's mostly the same videos, often from the same channel if I happened to watch a few in a row... Very odd.

I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or not.

In any case, while human bodies are amazing in the way they can strive on different diets, we know that the traditional Intuit diet (~50% fat, 30% protein, 20% carbs) leads to significantly increased cardiovascular risk:

"However, actual evidence has shown that Inuit have a similar prevalence of coronary artery disease as non-Inuit populations and they have excessive mortality due to cerebrovascular strokes, with twice the risk to that of the North American population.[27][28] Indeed, the cardiovascular risk of this diet is so severe that the addition of a more standard American diet has reduced the incidence of mortality in the Inuit population.[29]"

[DISCLAIMER] I work for CAST AI

Hey there, I know clouds and their bills might be hectic.. Even though a lot of information in your case is lacking, here are a few tips for you to consider:
-Get to know the AWS instances, their types and find the ones that could do the the same job - but better. Here at CAST we benchmarked a lot of instances and select the best ones for you.
-Reconsider spot instances - as "advertised" they really do save up to 90% if you are lucky enough to bid low for an instance that is currently in not such a big demand.
-Are you a kubernetes user? If so, do you have HPA and VPA configured and running smoothly ?
-If you're an EKS / GKE /kOps user, Give us - CAST, a shot, I know it's a bold claim, but if you invest a minute to visit https://cast.ai - the ROI can be massive. We've had companies in e-commerce, martech and development services save anywhere in the range from $50,000 to $1,700,000 per year with CAST AI.
To be completely truthful, some of them cut 40%+ on their bill with the information from our free report alone.
-And of course, go trough that AWS bill in detail, check and cross out what's a low hanging fruit. Also check whether some workloads do have to be running at night.
I think the "processed food" guidance is widely misunderstood.

From what I gather you shouldn't consider that as a strict rule. It's more a rule of tendencies. Less processed food tends to have more fiber, less sugar, less calorie density. There are exceptions, and obviously it's sometimes debatable what counts as "more processed".

But despite these inaccuracies, it's probably a good simple guidance in a field where there's a lot of uncertainty.
A sting that brought in $180k seems like such a small amount. How much money did it cost the IRS to run this sting. Knowing government ops, I could see the sting costing more than the ceased funds.
Wow. Thank you. I had no idea about that. I had assumed it would be much, much shorter.
I stepped back from a group chat because the fellows in it swore by “Mental Health TikTok,” where therapists give mental health advice. This is concerning to me.

Beyond that, the data collection and the way it mixes young-but-of-age mildly sexual content with underage guys imitating them makes me stay far away. I enjoyed the handsome men in various states of undress but couldn’t find a way to make the app not veer into underage content, no matter how many times I told it what I liked. Disturbing.
1. Security updates. No feature updates are required (Which is sensible in my opinion.)

2. The federal election happens later this month. Take this plan with a grain of salt.

3. The original article by heise.de mentions that the federal government will push these plans during negotiation of the EU wide laws. The government thinks that the plans of the commission do not go far enough. However it's unlikely that Germany will implement stricter rules on a national level.
So what are the odds that it happens to a given American or tourist?

Ideally we could accept that this (or any other given topic) is bad without feeling the need to exaggerate its significance to ourselves. This is what I miss the most about the pre-Twitter days.

Bring on the downvotes.
Sugar remains a villain, but the issue of fat is more complex.

Not all fats are equal. For example, high-fat foods like nuts, butter, avocados, cold-pressed olive oil etc do not occupy the same space as highly processed fats (e.g. trans fat/hydrogenated fat).

Salt remains divisive among health researchers after many years of public campaigns warning the public to limit salt intake. But is it less harfmul than previously thought?

Uh, yes. If you think the modern US government and Winnie the Pooh's wannabe Nazi empire are even in the same league, you are likely a CCP plant.

The US has done a lot of incoherent, incompetent, and bad things.

But the US won't disappear you if you say the wrong thing about Biden and isn't in the middle of literally rounding up an ethnic and religious minority and putting them in camps to cleanse their society of that ethnicity. Just as a start.

So yes, really. Fucking idiots.
