> Every oven I’ve ever had goes to 500 degrees.

And plenty of recipes are cooked at 450 degrees. I don't even believe there's a full-sized (i.e. not a toaster) oven that doesn't go to 500 degrees, but I'm willing to be corrected.
For configurations, rust supports features. To me they look very similar to ifdefs in C, except they're managed directly by cargo and can be passed down into dependencies and modules.

You can decide how to use them, for example you can very much create "fat drivers".

If you want to see an example, here's how we build for dev vs release, on two different boards. Cargo makes it really smooth.

Similarly, for testing, one annoyance for us is that in theory the user should press a button for every action. We have a feature to disable that, just so we can run integration tests (either on PC or on device) more smoothly.
Honestly, this type of discussion is seriously irritating, because it implies that TikTok is doing something unique that other apps aren't doing. Just as the article demonstrates, many western countries do the exact same thing that TikTok does, except TikTok seemingly takes it one step further (probably because of shoddy programming). Applying geographic-based arguments to technology is just a bandaid. The problem needs to be solved in all situations, not just in situations where people aren't politically happy.

Any company injecting keyloggers or monitoring systems into web content should be subject to the same equally damning judgement. Just because it's China doesn't make keylogging bad. Keylogging is bad because keylogging is bad. Companies like Fullstory [0] and Hotjar [1] are used all over the western internet and effectively act as full session recorders. Sure, used well they can be used for analytics, but you could just as easily inject Fullstory or Hotjar into an in-app browser and suddenly record all data a user does. Should this be possible? No. Does it help to just ban China? I mean sure, but why should you be okay with a western company doing it?

TikTok is a short video app used mostly by younger generations. It produces highly accurate recommendations for videos to watch. We're not talking about something like a banking app, a healthcare app, or even a messaging app. It's a video-based social network. There are bigger fish to fry than TikTok in almost every single possible category of app. Yet, TikTok is always brought up because it's from China.

Um, the technology outlook for electric planes that can cross the Atlantic/Pacific at 900km/h is not very promising. Maybe with green hydrogen? But really nothing rivals the energy density of petroleum fuels. It's a hard problem.

It's the in-app browser. The one that opens within the app, so that people don't need to switch to another app, and usually used for short-lived sessions. It doesn't modify or spy on the actual separate browser (Safari etc), just on whatever happens inside the app (as you would expect, app knows what's going on within itself), and it just so happens that sometimes in the app there is a browser page being displayed, which then goes to reason can also be spied on.

Android has these in-app browsers too, they may or may not be subject to this.
TikTok should be banned. India has the right idea. We should align more with them.

Banning it isn't for geopolitical reasons although I think those are valid given the CCP's publicly stated agenda (Global communist revolution essentially. Millions of lives sacrificed for Marx). It's just that one less mind hacking app for children is a good thing. What about FB, Insta who are just as bad etc? Simply doesn't matter. If people left FB for TikTok, and TikTok disappears, some significant % won't come back and that's a win.
Definitely this!
Reading is tough, but the parent comment is about allowing TikTok to exist in the west.

Also, as mentioned in the first sentence of the article, this is exactly what Meta does in the Facebook and Instagram apps.

If I build an analytics company and build a product that my customers can use to "analyze" their users activity it'd almost be a total neglect on my end not to include common tracking mechanisms that are well documented like simple event hooks in js. I really don't get the rage against tiktok.

What they do that is publicly known is not bad. Maybe there is something bad they're doing but these random HN top stories are not it. If NSA/US govt really wants us to avoid tiktok it needs better convincing than "omg they're stealing the x,y of your finger when you tap on an image."

Just a cursory google for Teflon killing birds yields numerous results including this one … from teflon.com - https://www.teflon.com/en/consumers/teflon-coatings-cookware...

When the product itself is actually publicly fessing up to being acutely toxic in some way, it’s a pretty safe bet it is.

There’s no reason to doubt the account here of the birds dying and this being the likely cause.
Better Blend via Palantir?
Saw this news https://www.vice.com/en/article/dy73b7/peter-thiels-palantir-teams-up-with-better-to-create-bloomberg-for-home-loans

Palantir was if memory recalls a seed investor in Blend. Blend was a direct competition to Better, Blend tag line was Better Lending (Blend) for a few years.

Would Better and Blend directly/indirectly being associated with Palantir mean coming together?

I feel like I've never seen a project that I liked, where I surprisingly discovered it was developed using TDD.

I have seen only a handful of projects, show as examples of TDD, that actually were projects I liked.

Its a variation of the "don't worry they'll tell you" joke. How do you know a project was TDD?

Cities would certainly naturally expand in a suburb-ish type of way. The issue with the current American style of suburbia is how expensive it is, and the extreme subsidies (both monetary and political pressure/force) what were implemented to set up the system in the first place.

Without that, America would have much denser "European style" urban hubs, and likely more active small cities than currently exist.

I mean that's the nature of a unibody machine with edge to edge glass sandwiched in.

The main body is amazingly sturdy. I've crushed mine behind a power seat with enough force to bend the aluminum but the machine kept on bar some faint stuck pixels in the imprint of the keyboard.

But drop it the wrong way and the aluminum lip will give way immediately, and it's no different than if you dropped a thin pane of glass with no protection right on its edge.

For what it is I say the Macbook is very study. It's never going to be a rugged book with the current design, but I haven't had many "ultrabook-style" machines that were as tough as a Macbook.

I carry a folding bluetooth keyboard when I'm on call and just use my phone to SSH to another system. It's a great setup in a pinch. Decent battery life, built in 4G and close to a full sized keyboard which is much easier for typing than these micro PCs.

I've also used my phone connected to a screen/keyboard/mouse through Samsung Dex and it was a very desktop like experience for my use case. Although it's rare that I'd have the required equipment and not be carrying a full sized laptop.
> I think it's reasonable to assume that they currently aren't.

I don't see any reason they wouldn't be? If anything they probably face more scrutiny than US domestic companies exactly because they are foreign. The problem (at least in the US) is just that behavior like in this post should be illegal but it isn't (yet). They _feel_ ethically wrong but there's no punishment for doing it.

> (...) that China has built a digital database of all (or most) of its citizens based on the data they collected (...)

But so do companies like Google, or Meta, or Clearview etc... This is a real problem but Chinese companies are hardly alone here and they aren't even the first to start mass data collection. As for the domestic data collection and association, that's largely a domestic issue that their citizens need to figure out for themselves. For what it's worth, most countries do at least a little bit of domestic surveillance (as seen from the Snowden leaks), China just has a much more robust system with fewer safeguards.

> I think that we have to ask ourselves how that could threaten our democracy.

That is a good question and I think it should be asked of all tech companies.

Facebook had the whole election meddling thing which started the gears turning in legislative branches of how we might reign in companies as instruments that threaten democracy, and by now we all more or less assume countries like Russia and China will try to exert influence in other countries. However, getting the regulations right is hard even though it is also important. We'll need both experts in the technology (re: this whole thread about discreet behavior tracking that a layperson would never identify) and in the legal space to figure out how to protect individuals. This is not the cold war era. It should not be a battle of ideology. We should instead figure out how to protect people from institutions of power, be it hostile foreign powers, domestic tyranny, or just corporate greed.
The sales numbers seem to indicate otherwise. Tesla has like ~70% marketshare even after all that has happened. However as an addendum, my comment is a prediction 5+ years from now. I fully believe that the numerous Chinese brands that are coming will capture most of the people you are talking about. The way you described it, those people seem like they are EV curious but not passionate. Tesla still has that loyal brand following and I believe it will still account for them being #1. I could see them at 25% marketshare when all is said and done. All the Chinese combined might be 30% and the the rest is divided among a handful of remaining companies.

Trouble with TDD is that it doesn't fit product development.

1. TDD isn't faster than simply writing test cases down, and executing them manually, especially when UI is involved.

2. TDD quadruples the amount of work needed for any given change.

3. TDD is the opposite of agile where you try to ship some product to the user ASAP to get feedback before spending time to refactor and clear technical debt. Write tests only for features that are confirmed so you don't spend time and effort on stuff people don't want.

4. Similar point as 1, but you need to evaluate if making something easy to test is worth the time savings than just running the test manually.
> He swore up and down that he'd looked up PayPal's number online

He may have. Scammers seed the fake numbers on various web forums, Facebook business pages, etc.; I see folks try it on StackOverflow fairly regularly. Sometimes there are entire convincing fake websites that come up in Google.
It is not a double standard. There are already legal and cultural limitations in the US that have much more respect for user consent, user privacy and intellectual property than in China.

Any US company caught putting arbitrary keyloggers in products can and should be condemned. Companies still track large amounts of data and pull shady antics, but the big difference is there is a means of holding US companies to account if they violate privacy standards, not least of which is through uncensored condemnation and legal action. That is not possible in China.

More stringent privacy norms and protections in the US would be welcomed. That doesn’t mean the status quo is comparable to China.
> Distributing software for you to run on your own hardware is speech, though, and it's protected by the first amendment.

This definitely needs a reference.
To play devil's advocate... the most common way to end up in the in-app browser is to click an ad.

Non-technical people don't have a concept of "in app browser sandboxing". In their minds they clicked on an ad, they're still inside TikTok, TikTok's UI is showing, TikTok will show prompts based on the content shown... they probably assume TikTok has access to that page?

Honestly I'm more annoyed that Apple allows big apps to use the loophole that is the legacy webview than I am that TikTok uses that webview to do the exact single thing it's good for... having full control over the web content you're showing in app.
The US already has said files, no? That's what the Snowden whistleblowing was about.

Only data specifically about Americans(and Americans alone, contact with a foreigner is open to data collection) that hasn't traveled in and out of the country is protected from the spies, if the spies are to be trusted. They're already known to be lying to Congress, so chances are the American government has a file with all of your social media activity, except maybe your tic tock usage.

I see no reason to consider the Chinese apps special in this regard. American domestic apps have already shown themselves to be dangerous to american democracy, and the American government can do much worse things to Americans than the Chinese government can. The data collection itself is bad, but no government will cut off its own spies
Because they understand the value it holds and put in the work to maintain it.

Documentation is expensive. Good documentation is more expensive, requires different skillsets than most engineers have, and requires a bit of an organizational commitment to make work.

That last part is more difficult in Linux-land than BSD-land, which is only a partial excuse. The main reason it almost universally sucks is that people put up with it, so managers are more than happy to cut those expensive tech writers.
It doesn't matter whether one side is right or wrong, or whether one side is more or less extreme.

Your tactics don't work and lead to harm.

Let's work from your Taliban example. The extreme pressure placed on the Taliban does nothing to move them out of power, but it does lead to mass famine in Afghanistan, for people who don't deserve it. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver just did an episode. They're in power. They should have their accounts unfrozen. Aid organizations should be able to help people in Afghanistan.

Let's work from you Ukraine example. What change would you like to see? Sanctions on Russia have a few impacts:

1. They reduce Russia's ability to produce weapons

2. They isolate people from the West and make them more vulnerable to propaganda

3. They hurt 140 million people, most of whom didn't ask for the war

4. They support Putin's message that the West is out to get Russia

... and so on. When the war started, I pushed for much more military aid than was provided, but also for weaker and more targetted sanctions.

The point is that simply "taking a stance" and lashing out doesn't lead to change. There need to be tactics involved, and one needs to think through impact.

The impact of having "blue" and "red" businesses, communities, and schools is very, very negative. One side needs to take a stance on saving baby's lives, and another on women's rights. That's fine. One needs to take a stance on respecting the Bill of Rights, and the second on reducing gun violence. That's okay too. However, there are appropriate forums in which to take those stances so we don't all just end up hating each other, and so where possible, reasonable compromises can be found.

We try to get our enterprise clients to delegate a subdomain to us; the answer is almost always no. "You'd be able to change the records! Oh sure, we can do a CNAME." Sigh.
> The answer is yes, foreigners are allowed to purchase property in China! The essential requirement is that you have studied or worked in China for at least one year on a residence permit. Foreigners are allowed to only own one residential property for dwelling purposes. You may not rent out the property or act as a landlord. Requirements and restrictions may differ in different provinces and cities. For example, Shanghai requires that non-Shanghai hukou families, including foreigners, have to provide proof of income tax or social insurance to the local government.

Ok, I get the last part, bad choice of words on "enough".

But the idea that we can't have a grassroots socially networked connection of computers on the internet because of the protocols? I just don't see how you've made a case for that. I certainly don't see why it'd have to be text only.

The complexity of the internet has grown organically based on responding to limitations (mostly). No doubt there's some unnecessary complexity in there, but what you're talking about is essentially throwing everything away. I just don't see how you've made a compelling case for such an expensive proposition.

It's worth noting that the NYT fails to include any kind of the usual background establishing that there is a real effect here; the one link they provide, to their own past reporting on the wild inaccuracy of home appraisals in general, shows that you can trivially manufacture these sorts of differences: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/09/realestate/commercial/app...

> In general, appraisals overvalued the properties, the study found. Of the 2,076 properties it examined, 64 percent were appraised at values that exceeded the sale price, by a total of $1.4 billion, while 35.5 percent were appraised at less than the sale price, by a total of $661 million. At the extremes, in 121 instances, appraised value was >200% sale price, and in 132 examples, the appraisal was <70% of the sale price. It is like “a game of horseshoes and throwing grenades,” the authors wrote of the results. “Close is good enough.”
