> US citizen has a detailed profile compiled

partially true but fodder for schizophrenics and compulsive obsessions.. A truer picture is harder to convey in a few sentences.. however as a US citizen I believe that an uneasy truce has been established via law in the USA since inception, between those casually referred to as "Law and Order" who genuinely believe that governance means record keeping and monitoring, and others who do not. Unfortunately for the "others" that includes genuinely bad actors who seek to use rights to evade detection, or those too stupid or simple to think about these things at all. Meanwhile, the Net has given magnificent, grandiose power to build and use surveillance, which they have done. ill wind blows
there are commas separating items - the first item is biometrics. Your phone contacts aren't biometrics either.
I think they paid that much just to get comic book creators to join.
I work with (and occasionally have made contributions to) a proprietary Rails (ORM) app that in principle supports SQLite3 and PG but, in practice, left SQLite3 behind long ago. The main problem is that the app in question needed something like SQLite3's `ANY` type in PG but all there was back then was `hstore` (and even now, all there is is `hstore`, `json`, and `jsonb`), so `hstore`-using code metastasized and no one kept the SQLite3 bits working.

Nowadays, of course, SQLite3 has JSON support, and PG has JSON and JSONB, and so it should be possible to fix that, but it would be quite the migration, so no one bothers.

This is real life with a multi-RDBMS ORM: the promise of RDBMS neutrality always fails in some way as the differences between the RDBMSes bleed through the ORM's abstractions, and that bleeding occurs the moment you need more expressive power than the ORM provides out of the box for dead-simple apps.

It's the same old story: dev meets ORM, ORM makes things easy (at first), dev needs more power, dev bumps up against ORM's limitations, dev works around those limitations, dev now has a frankenapp, dev wants to switch RDBMSes but can't, or dev wants to ditch the ORM but it's a lot of work.

ORMs are a nice crutch to get started, but that's it.
USA accusing someone of industrial espionage xD
I'm 99% sure they're real. They don't represent transistors and resistors; they're transformers, generators, switches, etc.

Please, pleasepleaseplease use anything but Edge. Edge is a complete privacy disaster, see for example link below. Microsoft does run their own sync backend, but they don't allow end to end encryption for all kinds of content, browser history being one. They do a lot of good things on UI, but would sadly have to be among the last Chromium browsers I'd recommend people.

Note that the US has a specific mechanism to address this disconnect. Anyone who exercises any real power and discretion in the executive branch must be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The executive bureaucracy may be sprawling, but you can lay the blame for any significant policy failing directly on someone you voted for (or against).

ACs can be coupled with solar power, with only a very small battery (reducing CO2 a lot). Or, as has become common in some European countries, an electric air heat pump could both heat and cool housing. With the additional benefit that you get hot water as a side product in cooling mode.
We realized that the 99.999% of the population would never visit the plant, and thus prefer a dollar or two savings on their bill.

Perhaps not fully. I meant my analogy with troops - though it is not to American's benefit, they should be even more worried when a foreign power is spying on them.
Maybe they should have been called "head" while the actual head is maybe the "current-head"?

When I was a kid I had a game genie on the NES and Genesis, and a GameShark on the PSX. The Genesis one in particular (well maybe it was the GameShark, memory from that long ago is a bit fuzzy) had a VHS that explained how to make your own cheat codes. There were basically tools in the device that let you snapshot the memory at a specific point in time, then you could do an action, and get essentially a diff between the snapshots. By seeing what values changed, you could figure out what codes to set. The easiest was always infinite lives - snapshot, then kill yourself, and compare what changed. Do it a few times and you'll find the address for the life counter, so you'd set that to 99 and try it out til you got the right code and locked the value at 99.

The device really was cool as shit, it was my first introduction into doing anything with computers really, I spent hours creating my own codes as a kid.

IIRC cheat codes were often published in popular gaming magazines as well, which is how you found most of them in the world before widespread Internet & PC access. I'd assume that either manufacturers or some other party found common codes manually via similar methods to this.
> "This is radically dangerous, and is only being proposed because we refuse let extractive industries die or change our lifestyles even slightly."

So much exactly this… I hear people talk so much about how intelligent and adaptive humans are, and how we're sure to survive almost anything because of that adaptability and intelligence, but then comes time to change something small to actually adapt to a big deal situation (like climate change for one example among many) and nearly all of humanity bands together to fight against even the tiniest change in how we do things, because apparently "the way it's always been done" is by far the best (even when it's provably wrong or bad). I truly hate humanity at this point because of this (among many other quite valid reasons I won't go into here). The Universe will be a better place when we're all gone.

You know that other countries do just that especially China.
No, because EOs do not hold ultimate power in the US. Bytedance also had the (quite realistic) option to challenge the executive through the US's independent judiciary. Ultimately, they took this option and they were successful, and they maintain ownership of TikTok assets in the US to this day.

There aren't any functional counterparts to these checks on power in China that would have been relevant to Apple/GBCD. There's no independent judiciary or alternative ruling party.

How could a company with $9M revenue, that I would guess isn’t profitable, ever be valued at $650M?
Yeah, I thought so too. Then I started hiring (for my very small startup) in SE Asia. And, well, maybe I'm biased and chummy, but it just wasn't incredibly smooth sailing. This is purely remote, almost all written communication, etc.

I have no regrets and still employ the same people today, but it just wasn't so straightforward as you're making it out to be. I think it's actually easier for a startup to have, let's say, an entirely Indonesian team including the founders, targeting an American market, versus a startup having an American founding team then start hiring in Indonesia. (For big companies I don't know, but I'd imagine it all gets even more complicated.)

> I think this is our disconnect. I don't care if some random American company can't make money in China. Nor do I care if a legitimate application that happened to be developed in China is able to make money in America. Why should I care?

You or I might not care personally about the specific case, but I was speaking from the perspective of the government. They certainly care because they have responsibilities for the economy. I care too, indirectly, because I have interest in the economy doing well (e.g. if Facebook hires a bunch of American developers because they're making bank in China, that's a better for me because the increased demand makes some things a little better for me).

But the trade/economics thing here is a distant second to the national security concerns at play. It's significant that TikTok is under the control of a geopolitical rival, not an ally.
In all honesty, are you serious?
You say this as if you are witnessing other hate crimes on the regular. Is that true?

Crimes against Asians tend to be taken less seriously and tend not to be classified as hate crimes even when there is a racial component.

The only concrete claim in that article that I see is insufficient age verification. How does youtube age verify users who are under 13 and trying to create an account? Does google search/ad tracking have a mechanism to avoid tracking < 13yos?

I suspect they just say "its against terms" but allow it to happen, because to verify children they'd need to collect information on them...
At a previous job I worked on serving data from SSDs. I wasn't really involved in configuring the hardware but I believe they were good quality enterprise-grade SSDs. My experience was that a random read (which could be a small number of underlying reads) from mmap()'ed files from those SSDs took between 100 and 200 microseconds. That's far from your figure of hundreds of milliseconds.

Of course 200 microseconds still isn't fast. That translates to serving 5000 requests per second, leaving the CPU almost completely idle.

Another odd fact was that we in fact did have to implement our own semaphores and throttling to limit concurrent reads from SSDs.

Collapse of civilization will sharply reduce CO2 output, with some side effects.
Interestingly enough, in IT remote work started pretty early - first you had various homegrown setups at companies and universities (BBN, Project MAC at MIT, etc), and IBM starting a telecommute option in 1979 with 5 employees, and having over 2000 employees working remotely by 1983.
At least in this case, China is already doing the same and worse, some reciprocal response is decades overdue. This is barely a start.
I understand people's concerns about this, but I think we need to get real here.

This is what the world's yearly CO2 emissions look like: https://www.statista.com/statistics/276629/global-co2-emissi...

For us to not fry the planet, this graph needs to start going down. Fast. And it needs to go into negative territory.

Now look at what's happening in the world today. Russia invades Ukraine. Gas and oil supplies get disrupted. Now inflation is running rampant, the people of the developed world are angry, and their leaders are desperately looking for fossil fuels to keep their economies moving. They're decommissioning nuclear plants and bringing coal plants back online. Biden wants to kill the gas tax to keep from getting swamped in November. Meanwhile, China and India are being flooded with cheap Russian oil.

Does this sound like a world that is moving in the right direction to imminently push that emissions curve way down?

Pie-in-the-sky moralizing about what humanity should do does not keep the planet from frying. Let's consider other options and accept some risk in exchange for the opportunity to avoid a looming, inevitable catastrophe.
The satellite probably has two processor modules. With A being active the software image for B gets uplinked via telecommands and then written to memory. Then the satellite is being rebooted using processor module B with the new software. If it does not work it will reboot again to A with the help of a watchdog. But if everything works, the software for processor module A can be updated then.
Something like that I would suspect.

Edit: disregard what I wrote, the article is about an update for the instrument and I thought it was about the satellite. But he Flight User Manual is available: https://archives.esac.esa.int/psa/ftp/MARS-EXPRESS/MARSIS/ME...

Wait, censorship or reduction in choices? They are different concepts with some overlap.

China has the most draconian censorship in the world: lethal censorship. Nothing like the "de-platformed" or "down-voted" censorship Americans face.
There are other interesting ISAs that are not arm64. Sadly, the only ones that still could be viable desktop (more like deskside) are either server-grade ARM or IBM's POWER (and none of them makes Mac Minis).
California doesn't have any tools at all to fix inflation. But it does have an buttload of coin it can give away to lower income people.
Only if you keep pushing speed. At a given speed, the fitter you get the better you feel at that speed.

Plus, fresh of the couch everything hurts. Some fit person's lungs might be burning, their legs might feel heavy, but the not-fit person has three different cramps, blisters, achy feet, shoulder pain, toe pain, neck pain, lung pain... that gets better fairly quickly with training.

I feel the whole "it never hurts less you just get faster" viewpoint is demoralizing & misleading, which doesn't help when people are struggling to stay fit.
And what, you think the chinese government never censors anything in their black-box algorithmic-feed app?

Censorship is going to happen, on all platforms, no matter what. Call it "moderation" or "upvoting" or "algorithmic recommendation", doesn't matter, the censorship is there, like it or not.

Instead of knee-jerk opposition to anything that reminds you explicitly of the abstract idea of "censorship", consider instead what forms censorship can take on any particular platform and whether you trust the people with the ability to leverage those forms to use it responsibly.

Sure, but

1. Google benefits from Android, but ios is apple. Google has other games.

2. Google doesn't make most androids. China would have to ban any company from making hardware designed to run android, not just ban Google from operating in the country, which would affect a bunch of non-google (even non-us) companies at least as much as it would affect Google itself.

The article says that Lucas UK was part of the restoration team. I'd be suprised if they were just making things up to look nice - and while they don't make any sense to me in terms of normal circuit diagrams, it's quite possible they are using non-standard (or probably now extinct) notation.
There were candidates nominated for the election and she wasn't of of them. Actually Manfred Weber was the elected candidate, but Merkel made sure that he did not get the job. The whole election was a farce and calling this democratic is quite a bold claim.
A commodity must be fungible -- i.e. that would imply BTC and BCH/LTC were economically interchangeable.

They aren't. Bitcoin's blockchain has a longer proof-of-work than BCH. Honest nodes will only mine the longest blockchain (per Satoshi). Therefore any blockchain shorter than Bitcoin's will ultimately collapse in the long term, making them unsuitable to be considered commodities.
A disastrously bad idea by any other means remains a disastrously bad idea.

> VPS means a cloud provider that typically provides a managed PHP environment with a preconfigured PHP app

My understanding of VPSes were that they were typically unmanaged - similar to a dedicated server in usage but which was actually running on hardware that also handled several other VPSes. I actually still use one today.

Am I misunderstanding?

> "Fighting siege warfare" means that both sides can expect to "win" by doing nothing and sitting in their defenses. It's unclear if this really applies to WW1 Western Front.

The problem with a siege isn't that you win by doing nothing, it's that the attacker always loses, hard, by trying a head-on assault. The really novel aspect of trench warfare is that you had both sides in a fortified highly-defensible position at the same time.
> Data collection and algorithmic manipulation. This has been discussed to death, but why you'd let an adversary control the information flow to a huge portion of the population is beyond me. This is obviously a national security issue.

I understand your concern, I honestly do, but Americans are always the first to cry foul when others, such as the EU, put measures in place to curtail the amount of data collection that happens by US firms (you even made that complaint about China yourself). At least in the EU we're not advocating the complete removal of access to foreign social networks. And that's the real crux of the issue here. You want a borderless internet but only when it's US companies in control. And you don't want government intervention just so long as it's only US companies abusing their position. From an outsider looking in, it all looks a little hypocritical. Which is why I Personally feel the EU approach is a lot smarter: allow other nations to operate equally but put legislation in place to protect consumer rights.
