Can you point me towards where that is in their TOS? I skimmed through and the only spacial restrictions I saw were

a) No playing content in public in a way that would be interpreted as a public

b) Most (but not necessarily all) of your consumption should be in the same country as your billing address. They seem to implicitly support not just streaming outside of your home, but even outside of your home country:

"You may access Netflix content primarily within the country in which you have established your account and only in geographic locations where we offer our service and have licensed such content."
There is a bigger iceberg lurking around. Look up the people who control medical school accreditation and funding. They have more blood on hands than many other industries put together. Medical innovation has been slowed down by magnitudes because of their gatekeeping.
Lots of folks here arguing that the focus on TikTok is unfair, given the data collection practices of domestic corps like Facebook. From a privacy point of view, this argument is well-founded, but I think it's tangential to the argument TFA is making, which is: this data collection done by a foreign government and exploited for surveillance or espionage is a national security risk.

I get it. We want corps to stop hoovering up our data because they can use it to manipulate us with advertising, and they can mishandle it such that other bad actors can exploit it. I'm with you, this is a valid concern that we should address. But I think TikTok's specific case warrants additional concern because it's all that, plus it puts a geopolitical adversary in control of the data, countless devices, and a media channel central to the current cultural zeitgeist.

I don't think it's reasonable to wait for general regulation of social media corps while TikTok continues to do its thing, particularly if targeted action against TikTok is politically viable.

Edit: typo
Did everyone here who is complaining miss that part of TFA:

> Members on the Basic plan can add one extra home, Standard up to two extra, and Premium up to three extra

If you're on the Premium tier, 4 simultaneous streams, you get 4 "homes" to share it with. It seems that you get the same amount of homes as streams.

I find that perfectly reasonable. Netflix are in a tough spot and need to continue producing content, which requires money. They don't have Disney's money, so it's either increased prices/tightened sharing rules, or a downward spiral.
Yup you've got it. I believe one of the brothers bought the compound in NZ north of Auckland that Kim Dotcom lived in (and was raised in iirc).

In the article the TikTok spokesperson explains this:

“It’s not logging what you’re typing. It’s an anti-fraud measure that checks the rhythm of the way people are typing to ensure it’s not a bot or some other malicious activity.”
I also dont 'like' it but it is supported.

Red Hat also has a project called 'convert2rhel' which i imagine is similiar to elevate.

I did my last webdevelopment in the early noughties, so I have little skin in the game. My mental summary of this debate is that if you need your browser to be a universal turing machine instead of a renderer, you are probably not doing it the RESTful way. Whether that is a bad thing, is a matter of opinion.
This is wrong and OMG all other 15 answers to this comment even more wrong.

Pinning a dependency in requirements.txt does not pin its transitive dependencies.

This does NOT mean you should pip freeze everything into requirements.txt, because then how do you distinguish top level dependencies from transitive?

The correct answer is to use lock file. No third party tools needed (1). In Python they named it constraints and requires an extra flag to use. pip freeze > constraints.txt. Then next time pip install -r requirements.txt -c constraints.txt.

Oh, and always always always use a venv for each project. Globally installed packages is a recipe for disaster.

(1) Poetry and Pipenv are still nice additions, with nicer project declarations in pyproject.toml and to save you from remembering pip flags or forgetting activation of venvs. But they are not strictly necessary and it’s honestly just 2 commands extra without them.

This is really true.

When I was young, people didn't call unless it was important, or they wanted to visit. Sometimes they just wanted to chat, but that was usually about your visits.

Now people text, and sometimes email. There are the occasional emergency that warrants a call, but they are rare. Nowadays if the phone rings at all unexpectedly, it's nearly always a spammer or scammer at the other end.

Voice calls that aren't from your boss are generally going that way now, too. That's why pagers were so popular back in the day. Great paradigm that lives on through SMS.

Send a text. I don't even have my ringer on, unless I'm actually expecting a call.
> There are plenty of good/trustworthy VPN services

Unless you know how they operate, they all are untrustworthy. It's just how you trust them.

Even if it's the case today, change of ownership tomorrow may bring totally new SOPs.

This is why there is no good/trustworthy VPN services.
Honestly I don't really want my car to be able to do this. I carry a phone everywhere that's capable of playing games if I want.

This cannot be overstated. The entirety of German media (excluding niche outlets) across the political spectrum align on every important topic.
If I were the Glassdoor IT admin, I would give out silly names with false IPs.

The best solution is to have zero knowledge (delete all info that can identify a user), but the second best thing is to have double logs. A real one (internal use only) and a false one (for legal usage only). I know it goes against the moral/legal sense, but hey we're living in strange times and the best thing is not to go against multi bilion companies that can force you to do anything they want.

Who from the court or Zuru (or any other "bad" company) can say if the reviews by bill brown with IP 123.124.125.126 or john james with IP 132.133.134.135 are real or not ;-)

The extent to which it's problematic depends on who's doing it, even if all cases are problematic.

They ban them because they won’t censor factual information and won’t promote disinformation.

See how Chinese censorship applies to mRNA vaccine conspiracy theories. A person that debunked them was banned from wechat.

This brings back some memories! The world was using Windows 95 and we were using OS/2 at home, with a sprinkle of DOS and Win NT 4.0.

Anyone remember the old Stardock games for OS/2? Entrepreneur, Galactic Civilizations, and of course multiplayer Trials of Battle on LAN.

Had my first foray into scripting with REXX, and Gopher was still a thing. First time I wrote some HTML was also on OS/2. Fun times as a kid in my dad’s lab.
True, as long as there's money in it, but I'd bet the majority of people in adtech aren't in terrible positions, so I don't think that's the root of this. Do people generally care about acting ethically without circumstances forcing them to? Beyond paying lip service. And if you think so, do you think they generally care in the context of surveillance, where most of us haven't had first or second hand experience of any obvious cost?

Well, it said that the sites had to register and any site not registered in the database had to be blocked by the ISPs. So, if TikTok, for example, was registered, and then next month the government decides they don’t like TikTok anymore, they can remove it from the database and poof, it is gone for anyone that uses an Indonesian ISP. At least, that’s what I picked up from reading the article.
The audacity of the US. They literally spy and collect data from the whole internet - not just US citizens, EVERYONE!

Data collection aside - relying on a single Appstore that is governed by US law is not acceptable.
> But I have been told “video off” is passive aggressive so I don’t know how much longer I can pull this off.

“Video off” is often necessary, because your laptop runs low on battery, or has run too hot. Sometimes your Wi-Fi might just be bad, forcing you to audio only. A colleague of mine could not turn on video while the Anti virus was running, or the PC would get overloaded (hint: it was running all the time, as mandated by the security guidelines).

You might also not feel well with being watched because of personal reasons. And since it’s personal, it would not be the other person’s business.

If you are at home, video might interfere with other people’s privacy. Just think about the neighbor sunbathing while visible from your window. Don’t want to risk streaming things to work that are not safe for work.
Of course not. Every government is going to look out for themselves. Following your reasoning, look at China. They have their own playbook for operating within China, and it is quite restrictive. They make it harder for foreign entities to do business within China.

From a geopolitical viewpoint this makes complete sense. You don't want your rival to have a backdoor into influencing/manipulating/discovering how people in your nation are behaving, especially when you consider how much data about sensitive information might be getting onto tiktok, like videos made by military service members on bases, videos showing gaps/issues/etc in infrastructure, or at ports and other locations.

As for me, I'm an American and it is in my best interests that USA stays top dog. I didn't immigrate here to downgrade lol, so I want USA to do whatever it needs to be the top player.

I also have had extremely poor experiences with Azure, and recommend anyone who needs reliable infrastructure to avoid this POS.

I was called back to work (online in my hotel room) from a holiday on the beach in Thailand, by an apparently intractable Azure problem.

Expecting some technical subtlety, it turns out it was Azure cancelling my employers account and refusing to explain why, with no appeal or recall. Then the "support staff" issuing this decree cheerfully signing off with a Have A Nice Day style boilerplate, after destroying my organisations PowerBI project and refusing to explain why.

The 'less is more' concept is definitely appealing, but does that mean the latest wave of agtech startups optimizing every part of growth fall under the hype umbrella?
A bit hypocritical but it's still mostly correct.

Also, China is not the US.

This is a Giant Thing.

China would never, ever, ever allow US companies to have direct influence over their media, so even by basic tit-for-tat rules, this is reasonable.

Moreover, even from a 'trade' perspective, if China does not allow such social media apps from US over there, which denies US companies that Ad revenue, the same should be applied in reverse. No sense in letting TT get Ad revenue, it should go to some entity playing by the same rules US, Europe, Japan etc.
This is dangerous political rhetoric which sets the stage for all sorts of tit-for-tat regulation that seeks to optimize for the protection of local companies (in this case, Meta/Facebook/Instagram, which have the world's largest face database and have consistently violated laws + lobbied against them).

Imagine what would happen if a Chinese regulator decided that Tesla's telematics stack was a massive national security risk? One random comment from some loser trying to build a political career (like this guy) and you'd see the stock go through a small crash.

The capture of American bureaucracy by paid interests is going to be the downfall of the country. Michael Lewis has been talking about this quite a bit recently, and will apparently make this the subject of his next book. I hope everyone reads it.
In excel select the location of your table, select format as table and now you have a table that you can setup auto sum on, setup computed columns and automatically have everything extended when you add a new line.

You can also use it as basis for a pivot table so excel can make you a much better overview of your data.

>Chinese gov generally can't do anything in US compared to US government, so personally I think facebook is more risky.

The Economist discussed this last week:

>The bigger, underappreciated problem with TikTok is the chance it offers China to manipulate what the app’s vast foreign audience sees. TikTok has gone beyond sunny entertainment to become a major news platform. Open the app and among the songs and skits you may see Supreme Court protests or a flailing Boris Johnson. A quarter of American users say they consider TikTok to be a news source. In countries with weaker mainstream media the share is as high as 50%.

>That makes TikTok’s Chinese ownership a serious worry. The Chinese government actively meddles in domestic media; four years ago it shut down another popular ByteDance app, unamused by the subversive jokes being shared on it. TikTok’s content moderators are outside China. But the app’s algorithm is nurtured in Beijing. A tweak here or there could give more traction to videos questioning covid-19’s Chinese origin, say, or blaming nato for the war in Ukraine. Because each user gets a personalised feed, tampering would be hard to spot.

>TikTok insists no such meddling has taken place. But a company vulnerable to bullying by an authoritarian government obsessed with media manipulation is clearly a risk. Anyone who considers this paranoid should consider China’s record in Hong Kong. Without new safety mechanisms, Western countries might one day have to shut TikTok down.

Pay is mostly a compensation that is "good enough for you to not walk away". HR will not choose to pay more because you bring more money to the table. But bringing more money to the table gives you leverage on a negotiation table.

In this case a very large fraction of EE's are walking away from the career into Software related jobs because that is where they are getting money that is "good enough for you to not walk out". So while previously companies working on semi-conductor, power electronics, RF design, where competing within the field, now they are bleeding grads into another 'transferable' skills field i.e. anything that touches software.

These companies either accept a full migration of HW design to Asia, which will last them a few more years until the COL is raised in China, India, Malaysia, Vietnam, etc. Or they indeed have to accept that the cost of goods just got marginally more expensive and labour costs on design will have to increase.

I know there is a reason why I keep two separate Microsoft accounts - one for the Office stuff and one for my Xbox - because I'm absolutely sure that Microsoft will eventually mess something up one way or another..

I have my first name (a very common Asian name) as username in Yahoo, GitHub & few other places. I have received hundreds of password reset request on average every week.

What social media company in the US bans positive coverage of mRNA vaccines?

In the US algorithms ban content, often by mistake. In China a political official or someone working for the government reviews the content personally. Big difference.

In Israel, if you are assigned an employer car, you generally have to prove you don’t make personal use of it to avoid taxation - e.g. prove it isn’t in use almost every weekend (usually done by parking in a managed lot and showing the receipts or stuff like that).

The vast majority of people prefer to also use the car privately, and pay the tax (which is reasonable, if taxation is reasonable).

Cars that keep rotating between drivers are not subject to that (but exact record keeping of driver and trip required to avoid tax)

Similarly, employer provided phone subscription is assumed to be partly private use (50% of monthly subscription cost considered a a taxable benefit iirc), not sure what hoops you need to jump through to prove it is not private use at all. (But phone plans are cheap - excellent domestic plans are $10 or so)

> You could argue that a data hoarder in a jurisdiction other than your own is even less significant for personal data security.

I kinda feel this way. On a national security level, China having everyone's data is absolutely a disaster.

Nope you're not missing anything -- sometimes postgres isn't the absolute best solution to a problem.

Part of the setup was to get to that "v1" as fast as possible, and what the imaginary team member already had available was Postgres. Even with that setup I made sure to leave this in there:

> (It will be a recurring theme but this is a spot where we probably don't necessarily want to use stock Postgres but instead want to use tools like Citus Columnar Storage, ZedStore, or an external choice like ClickHouse).

Also note that there are some optimizations that are not discussed here -- an unlogged table for the HLL itself, for example, triggered/delayed computation, etc. In general, Postgres isn't the greatest for OLAP workloads, but it is quite flexible.

The code is open though:
https://github.com/VADOSWARE/supabase-seen-by

Lots to improve upon there, but I tried to make sure the code was very easy to understand and easy to extend -- would love to have a Clickhouse version :)

This depends on what airplane mode means on your phone. With GrapheneOS, airplane mode blocks baseband transmission, but you can optionally still turn on Bluetooth and/or WIFI. If you dial 911, airplane mode is immediately turned off for the call to go through and stays off until you turn it back on.

WIFI triangulation or bluetooth mesh can be used for location tracking in particular areas. MAC address randomization and generic phone ID makes this more difficult, but broadcasts of known devices in WIFI or bluetooth scanning can give you away.

Others may know more than me on this.
