This comment follows a pattern common in other comments criticising TikTok - the person says “this content I saw isn’t very good. Why would anyone spend their time watching X?”

Not realising that only they (and people with similar tastes) are seeing X. And it says more about them than it does about TikTok.

There’s plenty of room for thoughtful critique of TikTok and it’s current/potential impact on society - but this ain’t it. The original article by the economist is much closer.

Even a direct democracy can violate the rights of 49% of its voters. That's why we have a concept of inalienable rights and a semi-aristocratic branch of government that is supposed to be a check on violations of them.
In a scifi tone, it is interesting to extrapolate the personality of teenagers once they take roles in future governments.
Like it or not, the mainstream liberal arts education has devolved into a religion of its own. For instance, we treat climate change not as an engineering problem worth solving (how many "climate studies" prepare actual engineers for building nuclear power plants?), but as a source of irreparable guilt used to push back on ambition and launch personal attacks on people that do not agree with this viewpoint. This is textbook original sin straight from the medieval times. There are many other examples. Trying to call it out publicly very quickly gets you labeled with one of the modern-days equivalents of a heretic, and anyone trying to defend you will be considered a heretic by association.

There are many, many people who are not happy with the status quo, and they are looking for others who share their opinion. And since the media and the social networks are actively working on deciding who's opinion gets amplified, and who gets memory-holed, the people disagreeing with the mainstream agenda will have no choice but to join existing opposing organizations and adopt some of their views, even if they don't fully agree with them.

That's polarization of the society happening in front of our eyes.
Why can you talk about stealing technology so openly?
Passengers in involved cars are also allowed to film explicitly by the law.
The current market/use-case for "Smart Grid" technologies is in replacing the various legacy control system interfaces within Plants with a single (IP-based) one for the immediate goal of reducing opex through synergies within the Plant and to the edges of that Plant operator's owned infrastructures. The next step, obviously the hardest part, is establishing and implementing IP-based standards that facilitate the realtime brokering of inputs/outputs between different, potentially competing operators. This is the same issue as the competing/proprietary residential IoT standards that have been holding back the "Smart Home". This stuff only makes economic sense for vertically-integrated players (like Duke Energy) that benefit from the opex reduction. Any sort of "value-added" capabilities are only a bonus to that opex reduction and aren't enough of an ROI by themselves.
I love it. So you’re comparing the experiences of real drivers who don’t hate it to bloggers who are making mathematical calculations and you take the word of the bloggers. That’s just about par for the course.

There’s nothing particularly surprising here. This is capitalism. Pretty much every company operates like this.

That doesn’t make every company the same. Goldman Sachs literally killed people for profit. Defense companies made up for their revenue loss from the end of the Afghanistan war by earning almost that same amount in military aid to Ukraine (seriously, our ~$50B in both cases).

Those aren’t tech companies FWIW. Even there there’sa error spectrum. AirBnB is cancer, for example.

But at last Uber killed the taxi industry, which was almost universally awful, corrupt and horrible to use. Seriously, good riddance.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens when Uber, Lyft, etc have to operate as commercial enterprises rather than VC money incinerators. This business isn’t going away.
I am really annoyed at how we (EU) and the US treat chinese companies and citizens.

We (europeans and americans) cant do really anything in China, we have essentially no rights and cant really conduct business. Unlike chinese who are pretty much granted all of that when they want to immigrate or conduct business in EU/US.
What is going to happen, of course, is that you start filming from 50 feet away, and then one of the officers will walk over to you, and tell you to stop filming. Which happens all the time already, but thanks to this, will turn it from a request, into a legal requirement.

The purpose of this law is to protect the police state.
But don't worry they're a changed company in the valley now and they're so sorry for past behaviour (nothing to do with being caught)...

Propaganda is common though. Many companies have their own newsletter and plenty do paid advertising, some in subtle ways. Plenty of scientific research is paid for by companies for their own gain. Authors are destined to propagate their own opinion and mind. That doesn’t however means anything that’s not complete neutral is pointless. An echo chamber is very much like propaganda, few people is going to speak out against the majority. Our training should be to obtain useful information from the massively available information, not disregard everything.
> US social media amplifies human nature which isn't pretty.

If you only consume western media and social networks, this is certainly the conclusion you are led to. But if you observe your surroundings with your own eyes, my experience is that there is a stark contrast with the above quote. I have travelled continuously all over the west for the last five years and I have found people to be kind, generous, and friendly.

There’s money and power in dividing people. I don’t think we are as divided as the news media and social networks would have us believe.
tl;dr: He went to the same McDonald's once in the morning and once in the evening.

No, I asked my question assuming we lived in the world you’re suggesting where all software is built by volunteers in a utopian gift economy. I am asking who pays your volunteers. The question is semi-rhetorical.

The answer as GP points out is that in the majority of these cases open source software is still funded by capitalists. Wikipedia content presumably being largely a volunteer effort doesn't change this. Something still has to fund Wikipedia's existence. Wikipedia and signal for example are funded by nonprofits. I quite like this model which is why I suggested it in my previous comment.

The main point is that you can’t just tell everyone to work for free and still call it capitalism or even expect it to work at all. That’s what it sounds like you’re suggesting… I like your challenge to the capitalism/socialism dichotomy. I think your solution is lacking some sophistication in understanding how the open source landscape works, what motivates people and how to yield production, and is kinda out of touch with reality.

It's rarely the case that you need to know exactly where the error originated. You just need to check if the error wraps a network error or EOF error for example.

If you do need to know specifically what the error was then the API provides public error types.
I don’t think jumping onto the outrage bandwagons will prevent it either — and in fact only deepens the problem by making yourself more susceptible to manipulation.

I think most people would be better served to recognize that their sphere of influence is a lot more local than their social media voices would lead them to believe. Being a positive influence for your family, friends and coworkers has far more consequential effects than some cheap tweet that somehow went viral 3 years ago and only added well-stated validation to an issue supported by people who already made up their minds.

Politics might become ground into the dirt, but it’s always been strong relationships that hold together the social fabric and prevent radicalization.

This might sound like a fallacious argument; but do you think the same about Europeans who consume almost exclusively US media and interact almost exclusively with US social media platforms?

The US (famously) does not have Allies, only temporary allegiances.

If you're discussing ties to government, Twitter and Facebook have members on their boards publicly who are sitting and/or former members of government including, at least in facebooks case: Robert Kimmitt (who was United States Ambassador to Germany from 1991 to 1993, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs from 1989 to 1991, General Counsel of the U.S. Department of the Treasury from 1985 to 1987, and National Security Council Executive Secretary and General Counsel from 1983 to 1985).

Is it different rules for us in Europe? or are you suggesting that we should never have allowed this to happen?

tl;dr: Why is US/China much different from EU/US or US/Japan (whom also makes a resounding impact on our technology and strongly affects our culture in the west).

Ask HN: How does Google share my login information with YouTube?
Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Firefox
2. Go to google.com
3. Log in with your Google account
4. Go to youtube.com
5. You are already logged in

I would like to understand how Youtube receives my Google login information. I assume that logins on the web are based on websites, and since google.com and youtube.com are two different websites, Youtube should not be able to access my Google login.

So how does Youtube do it? If this were Chrome, I would assume that it’s some sort of Google integration, but this is Firefox, so there must be a standard web API at work here.

The point being here is that the company ownership is setup in a complicate way, that is different than just being straight up controlled by china.

As in, there are apparently sub companies, that are in the US, not in china, that makes it different.
Yes, and the media companies exploited it to prevent Nuclear energy thus precipitating the CO2 crisis being reported by the media today.
The motives of a crazy person are far less important than a long list of important policy nuances though. Why give this one precedence in air time.
> I'd also seriously question an org not using git

That's a very damning statement. Many places use perforce, for example.

Git doesn't handle binaries and frankly git struggles to scale. Try checking out a _large_ git repo and running some common operations on it.
Your source says 6 cents per kilowatt hour. That's pretty expensive energy compared to new renewable projects in the US, let alone China.
If they feel like they were interfered with, then they could have arrested that person for interference. The law already explicitly admits that case.

The presence of a recording device is, at best, purely immaterial. Criminalizing the act of recording has no bearing on the thing that they’re claiming needs to be criminalized, and in fact already is.
Well shit, why stop there then? Let’s peel back the FDA and let the state decide what food is safe.

I have a background in drug development and computational models

Computational models are decades, at the very least, away from being a replacement for animal models

There is no replacement for animal models, except trials in humans, so if the alternative is that we do more, riskier trials on humans, then I'd much prefer animal testing
>I thought the output of that is _literally_ a string, no

>If you want information out of that, you have to string parse your errors

I'm trying not to be an asshole here, but have you actually played with Go? It seems a lot of the Go hate comes from people with extremely trivial knowledge of it.

The %w directive is not just a simple string format/concat. It constructs an error which when String() is called on it, will appear as a concat'd string, but the underlying error is preserved.

> Fine, in some cases the bad guy with a gun hasn't shot someone. In some cases the guy with a knife or brick has injured someone. What is the balance? It is easier to shoot someone than it is to stab them or brick them

At point blank it’s easy. Once it’s at range and for pistols it’s a matter of practice.

It’s why rifles tend be used by soldiers; it’s easier to aim with, train, and be accurate with.

It’s a matter of geometry. It’s also highly conspicuous (unlike handguns).

Okay. Say you’re injured and not dead: If size isn’t a deterrent, then wouldn’t an armed good samaritan be able to do more to help than an unarmed?

What if the individual goes after more victims?

But whether a person is being stabbed and bleeding to death, knocked out, or shot incapacitated: They’re unable to run, nevermind help.

At that point they’re at the mercy of the attacker and the people around them.

What I’ll concede is that a gun also enables a lot of individuals to be an attacker: Equalizing goes both ways.

I’ll also concede that in the ideal world we’d have phasers to stun; but as far as I know even beanbag guns and similar are not meant for civilian use. I wish it weren’t this way, but even stun guns and tasers are illegal in places like NYC.
"defund the police" was not a Democratic party idea, it is the watered-down version of an abolitionist movement undergoing recuperation by local politicians that were trying to gain support from a potential base.

Considering it’s not unusual for cops to be assaulted by family members or friends of the person they are questioning or arresting, I don’t agree that standing 1 ft away from a cop who is trying to conduct police work is reasonable in terms of security.
You are missing the point. A law like this gives Bad Cops the power to basically stop anyone from recording. All they have to do is to walk towards that person and reduce the distance. Good cops will ignore but the Shitty ones that are on a Powertrip will absolutely abuse this. THe point is that there already are laws related to interfering with Police business and this was not needed. This is nothing but an attempt at violating a Citizen's right. Btw, there is nothing illegal about being a hero/idiot to get internet points. As much as some people are idiots, their rights should not be infringed upon if they are not interfering with Police business directly. This law makes it a lot harder to even risk recording at all because you never know if you are safe to do so.

You didn’t read the law but seem pretty sure of your take.

That reminds me of cops playing copyright music so that videos would get auto-DMCA off YouTube.

I doubt that one would fly. If you have the video of them doing that then presumably a jury of your peers or any sane DA would throw out that case. And if you don’t, then you weren’t recording them right?
What tier support was this, and how long did you have to wait?
Think of the loss as a form of payment. What it buys you is experience. So whenever you lose, ask yourself what experience that just bought you? What improvement does it allow you to bring into your future games?

If your mindset is to become a better player, rather than winning, then a loss is still a way to gain something. And long term, you'll win more games if you think this way
Look if you disagree that china is more authoritarian, then I would encourage you to go there, and make a large amount of public statements making fun of their leaders, or saying that Taiwan in a country, (while in china). And to do it in a public and viral way, and see how it works out for you.
Along with Go, Deno, etc, Rust also cross-compiles easily
>So I think you’re one step away from the epiphany, if you can resist doubling down on this statement

I will double and triple down on it. I've been following this for at least a decade now. Smart contracts are completely useless and they need to go. The "epiphany" here is that it was obvious since The DAO transaction was reverted that there is nothing actually immutable about blockchains or smart contracts. If enough whales are threatened by some activity then they'll hard fork, because the miners/stakers all depend on the activity of the whales to realize their profits. The network doesn't exist without them, and it's not actually hard for them to collude.

This is another reason why it's futile for you to expect anything out of blockchains; they're not actually run by volunteers, by design they're run by the greediest possible participants who are supposed to do whatever they possibly can to maximize their profit from mining, because if they don't do this then the network collapses. This is entirely how the system is designed to work. You're not actually "trusting the code", you're trusting that a hardfork won't be successful for entirely non-technical reasons, i.e. that they would lose money. People who run ordinary databases also don't mess with the database for the same reason. Blockchains don't add anything new to this, they're not a good or even interesting invention.

>Bitcoin was forked multiple times, but even a sensible hardfork change like increasing the block size proved too hard to do

This is ahistorical, it wasn't hard to increase the block size, it was just undesired by the majority of the miners. BCH happened because some miners were upset about SegWit, a change that did actually succeed.

>The ultimate in this is Provable Correctness, and there are now tools to actually prove a smart contract or a program is correct.

These tools do not solve the problem, because "correct" is entirely subjective. With those, you can prove that the program doesn't violate its own invariants or contain certain logic errors, but you can't validate that the output for the human is correct. No amount of fuzzing can solve this.

Why do you think that's the case? Aside from the trade-war that's going on, which is pretty arbirary;

The US has routinely spied on Europe, allowed backdoored technology to make it's way into the continent including to spy on government officials from another sovereign (allegedly allied) nation.

It's hard for me not to draw direct comparisons, because other than the surface level of "everything's fine, we have a common culture and we're all white" - I don't see them as being much different.

Of course you're right, they're not the same, we don't see them the same. But China has arguably done less to the US than the US has done to the EU.

Can you explain it to me?
