the mind control is already there. how many teens were doing the tiktok specific elaborate vacant eyed lipsynced dance routines on social media before tik tok?
I read the Wikipedia article on him, and I don't see why you think he's innocent? Other than an automatic assumption of racism there's nothing in there that would make me think it was a bad trial.

This isn't a case of mistaken identity - he was shot by the person he shot. He had a gun that had been discharged 5 times.

What am I missing? What's his explanation for having fired 5 times? All I saw was a vague claim that police shot him randomly as he crossed the street.
And then people wander why software developers don't care to support Unicode properly.
First 60,000+ characters made sense, than few more were needed and Unicode suddenly got to play with a 1,000,000+ and just went off the rails.
It's not just collection though. If China had access to everyone's credit card purchase info (they probably already do, but whatever), that's "data collection". But with TikTok they also have an obvious mechanism to directly affect behavior using the data they collected. That's not something you could easily do with just demographic or financial info alone.
> How can one maintain that their country is the greatest with such dubious ethics?

Compared to who?

> I mean specifically using the argument 'doing objectionable things only to non US citizens' as part of the case for America's greatness seems...odd at best.

That is a rule of law (for their citizens) better than much of the world.
A lot of these apps have really cool features, but what I miss most from my Ti-89 titanium days back in high school was the readability of the input and output formulas. The pretty print feature becomes increasingly useful as computation gets more complex. Adding these natural language features for things like built in dimensional analysis would really take it to the next level (as things like units were a slow pain on the ti).

Drawing an integral with limits, fractions, exponents, etc on the screen in normal notation provides much easier error checking when your inputs get longer and contain more and more syntax like commas, parentheses, etc.
What?? Why would he exclude himself from tournament winnings, assuming he can still place strongly with 1 resignation?
When I graduated college I interviewed for a few jobs in sales. It quickly became clear that it requires a reptilian adherence to a script, and an unflappable positivism. I'm glad I studied computers for which none of those skills apply.
Build in 2 flashdrives - don't lick your fingers, you see the regular drive with innocuous crap. Lick, and you see the real deal. Better, have a magnetic key or transponder that unlocks the real drive (and hides the innocuous one.) Doesn't draw the attention that a mysteriously not working drive does.
I totally agree. He was doing it in plain sight, everyone who witnessed his games had equal opportunity to use his approach but they didn't until he was leaving them for dust. The same will be true for current great players (incl. Magnus Carlsen and others) and chess knowledge is bound to evolve. Eventually, perhaps, our chess knowledge will be indistinguishable from that of computers and the game will lose all it's interest to us. But so far this has not happened and we have a great theatre for one tiny aspect of the human intellect to play out on. Let's enjoy it while we can.
If China tells my government to throw me in jail, they will be laughed at in the press.

If the us tells my government that I am a terrorist, I am getting my door kicked in at 3 a.m.

Unless you travel there, China is a pointless waste human potential.
Just like when I interviewed at Goog and the asked me "what do you think google is" and I replied "everyone thinks you're a search engine, but you're and ad engine only..."

They then called me to tell me " YOU DID GREAT ON YOUR interview, you'll get an offer letter tmrw"

The next day they called me back to tell me "yeah, we arent going to give you that job"

They then proceeded to call me for FOUR FUCKING YEARS for the same job.... and I finally had to tell them " DELETE MY FUCKING NUMBER BITCH!"
Firstly, the mRNA "vaccines" do not produce any sort of immunity. AFAIK the Chinese vaccines actually work like traditional vaccines (i.e. cowpox particles to produce smallpox immunity). We really don't know the Covid death rate in China, whether there are excess deaths from Covid infection directly or as a result of the CCP's cruel and barbaric lockdown measures, which have caused reports of starvation in places like Shanghai.

I also would not extrapolate public opinion about the CCP based on polling, even if it's done by outside entities and anonymized. Any Chinese with an IQ higher than room temperature would know better than to speak out against the CCP in a western-designed poll. Xi Jinping is leading his country like Stalin...they have GULAGs for dissenters.

So, I don't disagree with you. I just think culturally, the Chinese are rightly reticent to express any antigovernmental sentiment, for good reason. Let's remember that the Chinese people have been occupied and oppressed by the Chinese Communist Party since the Chinese civil war. I pray for their liberation.

> You seem to be making the mistake a lot of people do, when they insist artists don't deserve to be paid, or should be willing to forego any compensation for the sake of the integrity of their craft

To be clear I definitely do not believe that. Artist should be paid, as their work as value, and they are an important part of our society.

I do think content created for the sake of making money in our ad driven society however is worse than both content created organically and content created… optimistically? For lack of a better word. Compare a newspaper to buzzfeed for example. The former is paid for but isn’t (wasn’t?) optimized for ad revenue so content was often less sensational and more substantive.
Interesting that the Root and other publications by people of color hear slurs when watching the video but Caucasians do not.

Wow. This entire thread seems to be written by Chinese agents, looking to, on the surface, minimize the threat against the West by China.

Clearly TikTok can be a national security issue.

All these comments do not address this at all, and seem to do their best to ridicule a valid concern.

Obviously the issue is that the data from TikTok is required to go to the Chinese government as do the algorithms.

China has clearly benefitted from the West, by all the money and IP that we have given it, by the products we purchase. Now, the Chinese are biting the hand that feeds it, by becoming an ally of Russia. By actively looking to undermine the West. To deny this is to deny reality,unless you are saying all the reports on how the Chinese are doing this is "fake news."

https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/russia-and-chin...

Robert Daly, the director of the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States, at the Wilson Center, in Washington, said “This is a pledge to stand shoulder to shoulder against America and the West, ideologically as well as militarily,”

.

The difference between TikTok and all Chinese apps is that the government essentially owns all companies, whereas in the West, this is not the case. Western governments can only access data from private companies if they have a search warrant.

Furthermore, I believe China will be seeking to invade Taiwan soon, and take over all their chip-making technology. Their population and economy is crashing, so now is the time to invade Taiwan.

To just dismiss these concerns about TikTok out of hand, without any discussion, is clearly wrong.

This entire thread seems like it was written by the CCP sleeper HN users.

.

Also, as noted by trident5000 below, China has access to all USA users of TikTok., but the USA or anyone else doesn't have access to Chinese users of TikTok. That's just one more issue to add on, and I'm sure there are others, too.
If you have less than you use to, but want to have the same as you used to, that means you want to have more than you currently do.

I think you're trying to appeal to some emotional notion of fairness, but its really irrelavent here. The world is unfair, and the consequences to actions don't care whether or not it seems "fair".
I'd be amazed if at this point the CCP hasn't figured out it can have a lot of influence over the western intellectual class just by running tons of clandestine HN accounts. If people are that concerned about Russian hacking, why not Chinese when it's even more in their best interest?
> I shudder to think about what it tells us about our judicial system.

Coincidentally, this is the general topic of season 3 of Serial.
Stocks are different because stocks derive intrinsic value from non-investor participants. When a customer buys something at a store, the profit from that is saved in a cash account, re-invested in the business or returned to investors via dividends. Yield through dividends is no different at the limit than that money accruing to intrinsic value in the business.

Crypto only has investor participants. You cannot ever get more money out of a Bitcoin than someone else puts in buying Bitcoin. Less, actually, because you have to pay miners to operate the network.

Stocks as a whole are positive-sum due to the contributions of non-investor participants.

Futures, options and PoS crypto are zero-sum.

PoW cryptos are negative-sum due to the contributions of miners.

To my knowledge, MCHPRS is not a full Minecraft server implementation; it only contains just enough subset of the game to run redstone circuits. The upside is that this subset can be run a lot faster than the full game server.

Indeed. Propaganda, just as disinformation, in the long run results in mistrust and cynicism. I guess, this may hamper critical thinking and eventually can polarize the society by overweighting the groups on the extremes of the spectrum and padding the middle with the cynics.

People like to say this with basically no evidence. It's basically a conspiracy theory at this point. In fact, I've had TikTok videos, in the app itself, claiming the same thing.

Man, those CCP folks are just really, really good! They knew I'd be an inherent skeptic! Yes, or perhaps you are just anti-china conspiracy theorist.

I'm open to changing my mind on the subject, but I have not seen a single iota of evidence on the matter.
Serial season 3 - where they hang out at a courthouse for a year, learning all of the ins and outs - illustrates all of this very well.

There's a lot of injustice tied up in expediting cases. Massive backlogs of work, not enough people to do the work, and massively asymmetric funding for prosecution and defense.
Floating the idea of having a DAO governance system =/= "crypto grift." It's a legitimate way of trying to ensure that control of a distributed system remains distributed. It doesn't even sound like they've pursued the idea. You can, in theory, have a non-profit DAO.

Recently there has been an unreasonable amount of hostility towards anything that even mentions crypto or any related technology. I wonder what the source of it is.

You can still get the 'metadata'. ;)
There's a point here at which you have to just rely on your priors, but there's just a world of difference between Google and FB sharing data the US government requests on individuals via court orders, vs the CCP hoovering up data on every single user and using them to build a single giant social credit database.

And yes, maybe everyone is lying to you, and the NSA is doing it already. Maybe they already have radios in your microwave building a database of your breakfasts. We just don't know.

But at the end of the day I know a lot of people at Google and 100% of them would push back on governments requests as hard as humanly possible, and there would absolutely be whistleblowers if this was happening. I'm just not going to equate the two.
This is hilarious. Social media is a threat to national security. The Internet is a threat to national security. People have a desire to be seen and see others. So long as we have that desire, and the Internet makes it possible, there will always be a TikTok.

The only reason they’re really saying it’s a national security threat is because of how big it’s gotten. What about Facebook? I would say Facebook represents a far greater threat to national security than TikTok.

Anything related to psychological or emotional are never that black and white. Every thing mentioned in the article could on a spectrum. Teachers and classmates could range from supportive to downright mean and it could change across every school/class/individual basis. The atmosphere at home matters a lot too. So establishing a base cultural norm is not a bad thing. Issues like this are already difficult to solve at a group level so as a society these norms will help us establish a base expectations in terms of norms and that would make it a little better to theorize.

Yea yea yea. That’s why I said 3rd party. I know they long ago decided not to make an app and have given up on the idea. But you’d think someone would step up in their place and make something useful.

This is not at all true, at least in the sense that it provides a major check on police mistakes or abuse.

You can spend a great deal of time in jail, literally decades in extreme cases, just by being charged with a crime -- no conviction needed. Criminal penalties in the US are so extreme, and conviction rates so high, that there is a huge risk in going to trial. Even if a person is innocent and/or the evidence is weak, the incentives often push them to accept a plea deal; and that's exactly what we see. The vast majority of cases reach a plea deal and never come to trial.
I think this is absolutely disgraceful. There is zero proof that Niemann cheated across the board. Kasparov made a great analysis, he said Carlson made a bad opening and paid for it. He got mad and embarrassed. He should be stripped and suspended.

"The famous Marshmallow Test. Do the kids have high trust or low trust in the authority figure to give them 2 marshmallows?"

Not a good example as those were about the child having the discipline to wait the needed time for the second marshmallow. Trust wasn't measured. You can argue that the kid needs trust to get to the discipline part, but then you're not talking about that experiment anymore, and the burden of proof increases significantly.

Also it has been debunked as an indicator of discipline and later succes in life, and has now become a famous example of the reproduction problem psychology is reckoning with. I would just generally stay away from it to proof a point. It will only weaken your position if someone familiar with it.
