There's a business opportunity here for making a "slow copy" of npm (or PyPI or whatever): start with a copy and then just only upgrade packages after you've checked the changes. You could sign and manage the BOM, perhaps even ensuring that $BIG_ENTERPRISE only got the versions they had asked for no matter what request they make (oh, sorry for the dev trying to get their job done -- go ask IT).

Why don't calculator apps at the very least display the current calculation like the casio FX-95? The current options of basic or scientific for mac/ios would be 100x better. The ticker tape only partially solves it.

In my country, the (college) school year is ending and new one is starting (on oct 1st), and of course, some students didn't pass enough exams, some failed a year, but want to do exams for the next year, some want to know if they can get another chance at an exam, if they can blame covid for not finishing something, etc.

Every college here as a students office, with an email address and a phone number (available few hours per workday), and they still rather ask an incomplete question on reddit (without specifying which college, what year, how many exams missing etc), than call the student office and just ask the only people who can actually answer the question correctly.

So yeah... it's not just the "young" kids, but "older kids" too, old enough that making a phonecall shouldn't be an issue anymore.

I see what you mean, appreciate the clarification
Im not sure I follow. I think this happens to every company in an authoritarian state currently, not having a room like this would be the oddity? They collect everything by default, like we do, we just try to keep it secret?
I love that you wrote it on BART. I spent my year of BART time solving chess puzzles.

"Making public information public" is a good tagline too.

Do you know what kinds of work people did with the data? It seems to me one of the best ways to address BART crime would be to support the impoverished and desperate people who don't have any recovery or mental health support, but that work is slow...
Dealing with customers is an endless nightmare and brings along potential legal obligations, not to mention whatever DRM scheme you'll need to implement to keep anyone from using it without paying. Asking for donations is a completely different relationship. People who make nice little niche utilities in most cases aren't interested in getting bogged down in all of the hassle of requiring payment. But if you like the product and want to throw some money their way, they give you a way of doing that.

As an aside, programmer is now one of the most common jobs in the US and there are plenty of programmers making $40k. It's not lucrative for everyone even if the median salary of HN users is six or seven figures.

I don't see how this works better than any scientific calculator that shows history. Also don't understand why he put two sets of keyboards, to me it just doesn't make sense.

Marginally related: if you are looking for a non-sucking calculator app on desktop or mobile, try an emulator of a (modern or retro, at your choice) HP or TI graphical calculator. My personal favorite is the emulator of HP Prime.
The CPC has TikTok data, and the US (through PRISM) has iCloud, Microsoft, GSuite, Facebook, and now likely Snapchat too. Separately to PRISM, the NSA intercepts data at the backbone level, which is for example how they could get every last byte of data Google has by tapping the network links between Google's datacenters (the "MUSCULAR" program). The "search warrants" are rubber stamps. The NSA's MARINA program collects metadata on everyone in order to do "patterns of life" analysis; this explicitly includes U.S. citizens because "metadata is not considered data" by section 702 of the FISA Amendment Act. The U.S. has also been documented to have infiltrated various peace groups/activist groups. Is the U.S. government a national security threat?

These are all privacy issues, but they're not national security issues. What's the exact concern here? TikTok being able to create voice and faceprints of US citizens? So can Snapchat or FB Messenger; and I would hope no CIA spy (the only people the CPC would actually care about) has a TikTok account.

What else? The CPC using TikTok to push pro-China or pro-Russia propaganda? Pro-Russia content was banned from TikTok, and TikTok isn't known for its popular pro-China videos. Promoting pro-Trump "propaganda" to "subvert" the U.S.? Trump is banned from TikTok. Where's the "subversion"?
For US citizens like me it is 100% being even more uncomfortable with the CCP having data and influence over so many US citizens than I am about Google/Facebook/Amazon and the US government. I would rather we had data privacy on every front. But if I have to pick one that bothers me more, since I am a US citizen, I am most uncomfortable with the CCP.

If Tetris was one app that reported data directly to Putin, I'd be uncomfortable with that too.
Many Western companies do operate in China, but may have to significantly adapt their processes to comply with local regulation.

Simple example: visual media has to be edited to remove excessive depictions of death.

Which specific US regulations is TikTok currently violating, and where is the hard evidence to support that?
Not the author, but I wouldn't say it's just (or even primarily) Github's pull requests or "critical security advisory" that's the problem here. PyPI requiring 2FA for maintainers of popular software has had more real-world impact (one maintainer took down and recreated their project, erasing old releases), and Google calling for deanonymizing (doxxing) maintainers of open-source software is more terrifying.

I'd argue that the problem isn't that "software supply chains do not exist", but "you using a program or library without pay does not and should not mean the software's author is now responsible for fulfilling your use cases and paperwork requirements".
Also from a game theory point of view, it doesn't make much sense. Magnus would have nothing to win from such an encounter but a lot to lose. In his position I would never take such a deal.

Whether he is cheating or not, it doesn't make much sense for Hans either. Only one and unlikely outcome would be in his favor.

Cheater or not, he is A LOT more likely to lose to the current best player in the world. He won't gain anything from it. If he is a cheater odds are even lower. If he is honest and loses it would be devastating. If he is a cheater, it is a lot better for him to not take the deal and deny any wrongdoing.

With chess, at that level of play, you can't decide which player is better or worse by judging from a single game. Only the aggregate between many players playing between each other can tell you that - ELO system achieves that. So them sitting in a faraday cage naked after an X-ray and playing a single match would not tell much. If they played a whole lot of games against each other, it would more or less work but that is impractical and ridiculous.
to me your argument sounds like that fraction of the Ukrainian population telling his neighbors, "Russia has all of our personal information, and the US also has our personal information. SaMe tHIng amirite!?"

sadly, you believe it, for now. Not saying you don't have a point, saying that it doesn't fall under the heading "national security threat" no matter what country you're from.
This type of comment is popping up everywhere. I think it's a bit naive and simple. I would add selfish, but it might be more than that. If the CCP uses the data against your government and its people in order to pursue its interests, isn't it possible that your well-being could suffer? Even if that is not the direct intention? Further, isn't it possible that, while your government indeed has more power over you, a side effect of your government successfully satisfying their interests could be an improvement in your well being? How can you be so sure the biggest threat is your government?
I'm not so sure one way or the other, I'm just curious how you are. There is evidence of foreign governments meddling with US civilian affairs. It seems like this is exactly the attitude they would try to cultivate.
I'd be seriously scared of putting any production credentials with write access into my Postman/Insomnia/whatever. Those tools are meant for quickly experimenting with requests, they don't have any safety barriers.

I'm not an expert, but I think that Hinduism is morally nihilistic, if you go far enough. Cruelty is just as much a part of what is as non-cruelty. Kali is as much a manifestation of the divine as Vishnu is. And so you get to the point where you cannot say that cruelty is wrong compared to non-cruelty.
It's location data, but none of the US Surveillance State wants to admit this.

They're upset about China having this data, but don't want to admit that they have it themselves. This is why all the public discourse on this topic is so utterly incoherent.
How did you get into this type of consulting?
I can't tell if you are one of the Chinese agents that seem to be ever present on hackernews nowadays or you are somehow unaware of the very real self-censoring Hollywood does for China

At a simpler level, it's a travesty that TikTok is allowed to operate in the US when Google, Facebook, Twitter et al are banned in China. Trump had the right idea in seeking to ban it, until he reverted to type and turned that into a shake-down instead.
Nothing says calm and rational discourse like preemptively silencing dissenting opinions by branding them via baseless accusations.

Perhaps people are just sick and tired of these weekly fear-baiting threads about Tik Tok, but who am I to comment on this mass hysteria incited for the sole purpose of hatred and conflict?

We don't have any scraped data yet. I replied to the parent post addressing some of this, but mostly if people need the data they run a scraper locally and use the data that way.

I'm certainly not going to stop publishing software with permissive licenses.

Use it as you will, but don't expect any guarantee that I'll support whatever needs your supply chain has.
In tournaments that have broadcast without delay you don't even need a computer. You can have a script reading the game and calculating at home. You just need to receive signals which is a way easier task. As you don't need to do input nor the actual computation.

This is kind of a weird take. If everyone is driven by profit, but some get it by evil means and others get it by doing things that benefit their customers, can’t we simply say that the people who do evil stuff are evil, and the ones who don’t aren’t?
They aren't being disingenuous, because they clearly know it. They just don't care because disrupting basic civilized discussion via dehumanization is literally their task.

Exercise and meditation didn't work. Exercise almost daily anyways.

Here is my story:

1. Realizing that I m going through midlife crisis and it is a normal thing.

2. Giving into some minor temptations like smoking or drinking too much. Could have spiraled down but had some strict rules like doing it only socially and taking Uber.

3. Changing job, buying a new car, etc

4. Realizing none of above would help unless I go for what I really want, which while not clear but is along the lines of new career, adventures, less responsibility, sell home, move to smaller apartment, move abroad, be a student again.

5. Realizing even if I risk it all and do the above, I may still not be happy.

6. Accepting that my current responsibilities (family) is above me and provide for them.

7. Playing lotto and risky option trades in the hope of making enough to secure my family’s future. (Very small portion, not risking their family's future)

8. Waiting

Let me be the devil's advocate here, they basically have a map of your interests and likes and things that grab your attention. I am not saying China is going to do this, but if a malicious actor wanted to abuse this data, they could potentially craft curated videos that feed your biases using your interests and potentially make you believe any propaganda they wanted.

Now imagine a machine learning model doing this instead of humans, it could infer so much more information about how you think and how your brain works based off of that data and do even more harm. Ever thought about buying something and an ad for that casually pops up in your feed? It is going to be similar to that, but instead of ads for a product it could be some misinformation that could cause paranoia (just an example).
It’s pretty fast to pop open a new tab and visit sheets.new, I do this a lot but not everybody knows about it (and the rest of the .new TLD) The in-line floating thing is not too attractive to me. But yeah, new window, sheets.new, split screen, you’re spreadsheeting before you know it.
It will be interesting to see what Magnus does with other players around that 2600-2650 level who have been made to occasionally take breaks from online tournaments, e.g. Maghsoodloo. Or if this stance is only reserved for those who win against him as black.
That's a really large cognitive leap from such a small amount of data.

Have you considered that they may not be using floating point numbers at all? They might be using arbitrary precision arithmetic. That was probably implemented by a library. So not as much effort as you would think.
> the price will go down without new demand

There isn't a fixed pool of demand that miners are slowing bleeding away. I starting rejecting the article while reading it as an unrealistic thought experiment. I guess my point is there are so many ways demand could drop. Demand goes in cycles and no one can predict.

I just thought of this so blue sky: What if Satoshi Nakamoto reappeared with a new coin and a new proof that didn't use large amounts of electricity? What would BTC be worth when everyone was selling it to buy this new coin? Or would Satoshi let people swap BTC for his new coin? A true Black Swan event.

Why are you upset about giving Apple the serial number of your device?
Yes, I am also in this camp. I document very rarely, only when sure something is inherently complicated and needs to be written down. A great example of this is often times odd bug fixes related to the evolution of features, underlying services and data structures deserve callouts often linking to the bug in question. I do take quite a lot of care in naming things, clarity in how things operate and what the key data structures are.
Are you looking for people to tell you this is what you should be using?

I understood this, but that's not the issue. The issue is that the USA does not have direct ability to order those companies to surrender their data. It's a different thing completely.

We're still developing those relationships, and we haven't generated any novel data that is deeper than web URLs. I'm based in Pittsburgh so we're still working with local journalists, activists, etc. to understand how they use the data and how we can help.
About this specific case: I also never knew using ".5" to mean "0.5" is a thing, until I lived in the US.

Not sure if it's a US thing or Western world thing, my country (not Japan, but also in East Asia) just doesn't use it.
I think these companies speak out of both sides of their mouth on this topic. And varies greatly depending on the level you are speaking with. An example I would state is Eric Schmidt, I believe he had a very cooperative relationship with the US Government, but also spoke against mass surveillance. (I also think that is just the nature of the role when you are in his shoes.)
> No, we're just non-US people not seeing the difference between US agencies forcing FB/Google etc to hand over our data, or China forcing TikTok.

As a non-US person, I think you didn't get the point: the US agencies can only ask for data, but the Chinese agencies can push whatever software changes they want.

In other words, if China attacks Taiwan, there is nothing from stopping them of changing TikTok algorithm to deprioritize all the user content critizing its actions.

It could even make it look like the entire TikTok is supporting China just by promoting "the right" user content.
Look: current financial regulations in the US and Europe mean we’ve been leapfrogged by Africa: M-Pesa etc.

Don’t disagree, but throwing the baby out with the bath water and going full raw dog lets speed run the entire history of financial fraud is not a good idea.
The linked thread discusses how tik tok represents a natsec threat to America specifically. Whether y'all europeans think American bigtech is a natsec threat to non-American countries isn't really a concern right now.

Was "social media manager" created or discovered? How about (to take an older example) telex operator?
The purpose of the algorithm is to provide content "for you". If you have not used tik tok I understand why you would not see the issue. Tik tok users quickly are lead into a "reality" based on what content is shown. You can sow division or push narratives quite easily if you control these algorithms in ways you cannot on facebook/twitter/etc.

If your chip doesn't run standard RISC-V instructions then you can't use the trademarked "RISC-V" name.

Standard operating system, standard binary-distributed software packages, your own programs compiled with standard compilers with default options, will always run on all RISC-V implementations, forever.

Of course if you go out of your way to use your current vendor's custom instructions (if any) then you're trading short term gain (possibly) for long term pain if you ever want to move on. Always make sure you also have a generic version of that code that runs on standard chips (if not other ISAs too).

"Russia and China are authoritarian countries that control Internet content published within their borders vehemently. Simultaneously, they offer a safe harbour for Western far-right websites and websites that view governments with distrust."

"If the domain names were registered by a Western company, officials would have an easier time to intervene in the activities on those sites. Regular methods cannot be used in China or Russia."
'Only Murders in the Building' starring Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Selena Gomez playing podcasters in a Hulu show is also amazing.
