You sure can, until the Bitcoin Core supporters tell people that the fork is an attack on Bitcoin, and crypto media spreads that lie.
My thought exactly! At least on mobile, it kind of defeats the purpose of the unveiling if there are no images to see…
The headline is inaccurate. This is not an official action of the FCC. NYT phrased it more honestly: "An F.C.C. commissioner pushed Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores." https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/29/technology/apple-google-t...
IMO being able to cherry-pick results is pretty interesting in itself. Also, good works tend to come with online demos or even exact parameters — hard to hide your shortcomings when people can reproduce your work.
This just means the door is opened for a competitor that can provide the same or superior service at a lower cost. Free markets can have efficiencies, but they should be arbitraged away in the long run.
Fun project, thanks for sharing!
> Git has an elegant and powerful underlying model based on a few simple concepts:

Commits are immutable snapshots of the repository
Branches are named sequences of commits
Every object has a unique ID, derived from its content

I would list them as:

Every object has a unique ID, derived from its content
- and every commit id depends on its ancestors' commit ids
Each commit has an associated snapshot (file tree) of the repository
A branch is a named reference to a commit
- the referenced commit changes with addition/rebase/amend of commit(s)

Not quite as compact or elemental but a usably granular mental model.

If you want to learn how git works you can read about it, or merely look at the small text files inside a .git directory.
Shouldn't Excel open ODS? I thought standards support was a box they ticked for contract reasons
Productivity is hard to define in cases like you've mentioned. If a normal developer is 1x but can't solve a particularly difficult problem, and a million others just like that one can't solve it either, how do we measure the productivity of the better developer who can solve the problem? Are they infinitely more productive?
Spot on comment - agreed 100%. I generally agree that certain aspects of US system are completely broken comparing to UE. (I was also born in UE and moved to US).

However w.r.t. "capitalism" vs "socialism" I must say that it is related but wrong lenses to look at it. The right distinction is "individually" vs "collectively" owned.

US corporations are "collaboratively owned" even if they are "private" in theory. This is what makes them work the same as "collaboratively owned bureaucracies". Working in a big US corpo is like getting a cozy job in a government. European SWE companies are "individually owned", even if they are surrounded by more social-inclined environment (which comes with it's own pros and cons).

Thirty days hath September, and the rest I can't remember.

Is India the West now? This alone tells me that you aren’t coming this from a data pov and simply playing team sports.

My problem with this “analysis” is it stems from xenophobia rather than the actual problem with these social networks.

The idea that we must “act now” with TikTok when Meta has been a worse actor is just anti-Chinese; we are pretending that Meta wont just bend over to the CCP as well if given the chance - we already have several of our companies self-censoring on issues that might anger the CCP.

Banning TikTok won’t fix the underlying problem and if your concern is China collecting data on US citizens you should understand there are very little controls in place, today, to prevent that from happening with any foreign actor. I don’t think China would have to pull teeth to exfiltrate data from any of the other social networks.

>Also, I am not really sure with all the equivalence to Meta in this thread.

Which company is implicated in a genocide in India neighboring states? Again is your concern actually about people or is it just “China scary”.
The only thing that makes me competent enough to do most normal day-to-day stuff in git is the built-in git UI in JetBrains IDEs.

It's super intuitive, there's buttons that say exactly what they'll do without me having to worry what underlying commands it's running, and the best part is the merge conflict resolution UI that lets you go file by file and has a 3-pane split for existing changes, merged file, and incoming changes. You can select the arrows that are drawn from one pane into the center to bring those changes into it, X to ignore those changes, and the center is completely interactive like any other text editing area in the IDE so you can just copy paste from each side and fix it yourself.

I basically don't ever bother with git from the command line.
That's close to how the version I know worked, but it was a step or two from that (and a bit simpler).
That's like asking if you should be more worried about the common cold or Hepatitis B?

"Programmers are most effective when they avoid writing code" is the crux of this article, and stated like a fact. IMO this is not as obvious as the author believes, and needs a solid defense.

I'd be very interest to see some of these articles, just to look back on, and reflect — because I've worked in tech since the 80s, and have been doing web stuff since well before Web 2.0 was even a phrase.

Do you have any links please?

— AFAICT Web 2.0 was initially about dynamic web pages (client-side dynamism mostly, i.e. the Javascript revolution) at a technical level. Then a short while later, on a social level, it was about more user-generated content. Combined with the improvements brought about by improved UI from the previous. Web 2.0 also somewhat encompasses e-commerce too, to a large degree (the dot-com boom was mostly all about e-commerce, and Web 2.0 came about in the midst of that, of course).

I don't recall there being articles saying that customers/users didn't want these things. What I recall was kinda the opposite: folk did want improved UI (without round-tripping to the server every click), folk did want to be able to more easily share content they'd created, with their network of friends and the rest of the world. Folk did want to be able to buy things without going to a physical store. — But perhaps I just have poor recall?

This is why I'd find it particularly interesting to read some articles that say Web 2.0 was solving problems that customers hadn't asked to be solved.

Personally, I don't think Web 2.0 was destructive and pointless, as you claim. Could you expand on what you think was destructive and pointless about it?

Perhaps we just have differing ideas as to what Web 2.0 is/was exactly.
Sales != Engineering. I occasionally built a PowerPoint if it was useful to. But the standard was information was conveyed in a written narrative. A PowerPoint is something you use when you’re talking in front of a large audience to have something happen every now and then to make your talking less boring. For a discussion you write a story. At least that’s how I did Amazon.
Arguably the Lightning port is more durable than the USB C port. It does tend to fill up with pocket lint though.
If Cambridge Analytica has taught us anything, we should be thinking from the perspective of what's in the best interest of society rather than best interest of an individual.

I don't think CCCP data collection from TikTok would be very useful at targeting specific individuals. But the data set as a whole could be the equivalent of a nuclear bomb if exploited in pursuit of some nefarious goal (e.g. an outside country influencing the results of another country's political election)

It really was terrible, but the aspect of the fighters getting pushed ever closer together, to the point where it's hard to watch it's so terrifying, really did happen. The battle of Cannae was apparently like that, where soldiers were so terrified they started digging holes to crawl into.

The article mentions this as possibly one of the things that make a flanking attack so terrifying -- it would squish the ranks together in a way that a frontal attack didn't.
"Your twitter posts are so low-content as to appear automated" is not what I would consider a compliment.

I think you're right. I'd love to see a BRICS-oriented data protection law for the US, for example.

There’s a reason for that.

I'd imagine most people happy about this would also be happy about the same thing happening to the US tech companies too. I don't see what your point is?
We are talking about private industry working together with governments. The US has no intention nor legal ability to force private industry to work with them, outside of when they choose to.

I had pitched a similar idea here on HN a few years ago, and have recently done some more design. Rather than "bubbles", I would have a robot go capture metallic asteroids, and use them as the raw material to build a sun screen. I personally cannot think of any viable alternative to building some kind of sun screen at L1.

My new design envisions a robot spider which basically weaves a web.

Another battle between the WiFi and cellular camps? (Similar to Wimax vs 4G/LTE)

>A bureaucrat has never created a solution

>make basic life cheap and efficient

I'm interested in your take on how we exercise total control over the cost of living without any sort of bureaucratic processes being implemented?

If vendors are required to accept UBI credit for certain goods and services and must then collect payment from the government, the government is able to restrict inflation by refusing to pay inflated prices.

A "UBI-like system" has such broad range and flexibility of design and implementation that to dismiss it entirely while suggesting (im not sure exactly what to call your suggestion) market manipulation? is ludicrous.

There is a finite amount of work that needs to be done to sustain the necessities for everyone. basic life IS cheap and efficient, but we arent allowed to pay for what it is. I cant buy a simple small house for cheap, because someone who already has a house can afford to pay more and then rent it to me instead.

There NEEDS to be a centralized power separating out basic needs purchasing from "extra" purchasing. All of the "extra" economic activity should be more expensive and the basic needs purchasing should be cheaper. You cannot accomplish that without government. you need centralized power to enforce it.

High school grades are a better predictor of college success than standardized tests.

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/0013189X20902110

> High school GPAs (HSGPAs) are often perceived to represent inconsistent levels of readiness for college across high schools, whereas test scores (e.g., ACT scores) are seen as comparable. This study tests those assumptions, examining variation across high schools of both HSGPAs and ACT scores as measures of academic readiness for college. We found students with the same HSGPA or the same ACT score graduate at very different rates based on which high school they attended. Yet, the relationship of HSGPAs with college graduation is strong and consistent and larger than school effects. In contrast, the relationship of ACT scores with college graduation is weak and smaller than high school effects, and the slope of the relationship varies by high school.

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.3102/00028312198432...

> Since World War II, high school report card grades and standardized college entrance exams—most prominently the SAT and ACT—have been the two gatekeepers of university admissions ... It is surprising, perhaps, that high school grades are a stronger incremental predictor of college outcomes—including what is arguably the most important outcome of all: graduation.
I mean, I've seen the same exact thing in the UK and Germany. People just don't give a fuck about their job, they come to do the minimum amount of work and fuck off. More Brits stayed for overtime, Germans preferred to leave on time. But they solved it by hiring immigrants who will work like horses.

And for low/unskilled workers, in the UK they're with an agency so they can be sacked anytime, while in Germany they're hired on a 6 month contract, then swapped with others for 6 months, then the previous guys return after 6 months, it's rather insane. So much for social protection or whatever.

Mercedes parts QA people and warehouse workers are on 6 days/10-12 hours for 3-6 months. Literally looking at an advert right now. Wage doesn't even matter (it's minimum), that kind of schedule is bad for quality. Also, great European work/life balance lol

What I'm trying to say, it's more of a company problem.

> The Chinese government is an adversary of the West whether we like it or not.

I'd like to se a source on this. I don't think different political ideologies imply adversarial intentions. China has been as friendly to the west as it can be while still protecting its own cultural and economic interests.

If western leaders would stop seeing China as the enemy and instead as a partner we would see a rise in infrastructure and economic opportunity globally.

China is not trying to do global charity work, they have their own motives as well. They are also not the devil incarnate. I would argue that their intentions in foreign policy are still _generally_ more morally palpable than most western nations.
There's probably some balance here. Since there's a limit of 9 concurrent requests before throttling occurs you can bucket 9 objects, concatenating into each. So if you have a bunch of static content, concat that into 1 bucket. If you have another object that changes a lot, keep that separate. If you have two other objects that change together, bucket those, etc.

Seems like a huge pain to think about tbh. Seems like part of the problem would be solved by compiling everything into a single file that supported streaming execution.
> The examples of how Democrats vs Republicans interpret this fact are opinions, not facts. They each have their own views, interpretations, and opinions, but they ought not to have their own facts. E.g.: they can disagree about why blacks are incarcerated more than whites, but not about the numbers.

With COVID, the facts became disagreeable too. Whenever I'd point to one set of states, the Democrats would tell me that their governors were faking the numbers. If I'd point at a different set of states, the Republicans would tell me that those governors were the ones faking the numbers.

Its hard enough to discuss opinions, but even harder when both groups won't to call the other group liars.
Certainly, today, an on-shore American developer has more ability to generate business impact than an offshore Southeast Asian developer. But I think that's more because of the bias-laden and chummy way that companies are managed, which is an artifact of office-driven culture. Remote work cultures will be more based on written communication and demonstrated results, and then American developers not in the FAANG skill bracket are going to find out that they are not a very attractive buy when someone almost as good is available for 1/5 the cost.
To complicate matters, [method] actors might be better adapted for that sort of mental exercise than the average individual. I have the strong suspicion that method acting would adversely affect my memory, though. It would be an interesting experiment, if someone could devise one!
The counter is only one byte though - record 256 messages and you have the whole set.

No need to understand the protocol or anything - just record a few minutes of data, find when a message repeats (indicating whatever counter mechanism is in use has rolled over), and replay that loop repeatedly.

The only time this technique doesn't work is when a challenge-response algorithm is in use, but car stuff doesn't tend to do that except for some lock/security/firmware update type functionality.

I disagree with the premise that I need to know what happens behind the doors to successfully use a tool. I've been using git for the past 15 years with literally 0 issues of merging or branching. The only rule I have to follow is "don't do stupid things with it". Branch -> push -> merge is what I've been doing all my life and it worked like a charm. Just avoid the problems and it's all going to work just fine.

Thanks. Switching the metric from Average to Max does show that the cache retrieval time can reach ~100ms even when cached resource count is low.
It is a bait and switch. The issue is with local files and throttling, neither word appears in the title or outline.

That is a presentation to the outside. Internally, PowerPoint gets almost zero use. Everything is document+appendix based. There are exceptions for things like org level meetings and announcements that are more of a broadcast medium but anything that is collaborative or at a smaller scale is done through a rather ridged standard document format.

Overall, there isn't a ban on use but it has a very limited use compared to many other companies.
Just to pick one example, do you see something like state-imposed food standards as a 'hurdle' added by bureaucrats? What about housing construction standards?

The way I see it is that TikTok is basically a psyops app. We can argue all day whether it is controlled by the Chinese government, by advertisers, by both, whether it is intentional, what its purpose is, etc. But anything that is free and funded by ads is at the end of the day trying to sway the mind and behavior of its users, that is the name of the game.

So to answer your question, it doesn't /do/ anything that other apps don't. But what it does it does rather effectively, and it isn't controlled by a company that is ultimately beholden to the US government. So from the gov's perspective, TikTok somewhere between a nuisance and a threat to national security.
