Not trying to make excuses for any of these companies. I'm just saying, in the abstract, there are lots of reasons why an end user would want a stablecoin besides "avoiding regulations". Even if it weren't pegged to a national currency, there is value in having a digital currency that limits its volatility. Pegging to another currency is a shortcut for doing that w/o needing decentralized monetary policy.

TikTok has 138 million MAU (in the U.S.) and the average TikTok user spend 95 minutes per day in the app. I'm unaware of a podcast that has that type of reach.

> Rental prices might fall if people are forced to sell their houses at lower prices.

How? I think the bank will just sell the house, possibly for a lower price then the market value. Then, the previous owners need to rent somewhere. As there are less people able to pay a mortgage, the more people need to rent.

There are plenty of exceptions to the hearsay rule, though; there are also times when something that seems like it’s hearsay isn’t. Exception: maybe you made the statement to the cop while you were covered in blood and blubbering about something you had witnessed, making it an excited utterance. Or maybe your lawyer is eliciting the statement from the cop not to suggest to the jury that it’s true, but to show you had no motive, making it fall outside of the hearsay rule.

Police have a responsibility to testify truthfully under oath, within the constraints of the rules on hearsay. But that doesn’t mean they are forbidden from saying anything in your favor, no matter what.

>Why are you ok with the government dictating which apps you can and cannot install?

Well, whether you agree with this statement or not. If an adversarial government is basically controlling what information people see.. especially young impressionable people who might not know any better, isn't that potentially a problem that needs to be addressed?

Sounds like the government should have a say when it's literally trying to protect it's own interests and doesn't want a foreign power being able to so easily push their own agenda.

Humor aside, my point is that YouTube and HN are pretty similar in their reliance on user-generated content. They both have no technical barriers to anyone signing up and posting anything they want: both have reactive post-publication moderation but not pre-publication vetting.

I think this is on balance a good and valuable thing about both sites. I was trying to show how your proposed solutions would, if applied here, make HN worse, as a way of illustrating why I don't think they're good solutions for YouTube.

(What made me think you were calling for pre-publication review was your "you can’t possibly expect us to vet all the content that we serve". Similarly, you objected to YouTube's approaches here as "reactive".)
TikTok is too entertaining to go anywhere.

Instead, I'd prefer

1. Turn TikTok US into a company owned by a number of bidders

2. Force TikTok CN to share algos and other stuff from TikTok US

3. Have TikTok US pay some % of revenue to TikTok CN

The same arrangement that US companies have to do in CN.
I really don’t think people in the US realise quite how far behind it is in banking services.

In the U.K. we’ve had online banking for 20 years now, and telephone banking before that. With most banks you can send an amount up to £25k to any account in the country and the money will be there pretty much instantly. All you need is the name of the person/business and their 6-digit sort code and 8 digit account number. Since about 18 months ago, it automatically warns you if the persons name doesn’t match on the name on the account. We’ve had chip cards and PIN rather than signature in Europe since the early 2000s, and contactless cards started being launched in 2007.
It sure made for an interesting sort of nostalgia when I (much later, when I hadn't messed with those settings for years) learned what Direct Memory Access and interrupt codes actually were.
Average UK student loan debt is actually greater than in America and, even worse, was even accumulating 12% interest rates earlier this year before the government finally woke the fuck up and did something about it. The loans are better than their US counterparts in that you don't have to repay them until you hit a certain income threshold but once you do, you will then be paying 9% of all your earnings above the threshold on them. Oh and they do eventually get written off - but only after 30 years. Meanwhile the English speaking world scratches its head and wonders why everything is going to shit.

>On the nights before games (more efficient than during the heat of the day), water in the tank is cooled to 5 degrees Celsius (41 Fahrenheit), Ghani said. The energy comes from a solar farm outside Doha, he said.

doesn't sound right (to me), that cooling water is easier in the night is fine, but that it is powered (during the night) by a solar farm implies a huge buffer/storage for energy which is not mentioned in the article.

Also, how exactly is the water cooled?

At this point your average person does a poor job of securing their home non-server. So while people might be pretty handy with their computers in some ways, I think it's reasonable to consider that they're very much not handy at all in some pretty important ones. Home computers are frequently unpatched, poorly maintained, and malware-riddled.

I don't think turning them into servers is likely to improve this situation much.

"Particularly in hard rock mining, for every tonne of mined lithium, 15 tonnes of CO2 are emitted into the air."

Estimates seem to vary, but this is claiming that there's about 12 kg of lithium in a 70 kwh Tesla battery: https://www.quora.com/How-much-lithium-in-kg-is-used-in-an-e...

So, that's 180 kg of CO2 for enough lithium to make a large car battery. If your first quote is actually referring to 15 tons of CO2 per ton of lithium carbonate mined, then there's 63 kg of that, the mining of which causes about 945 kg of CO2 emissions.

Burning a gallon of gas emits about 9 kg of CO2. A car that gets 30 miles to the gallon will burn about 6700 gallons of gas over a 200,000 mile lifetime, resulting in 60,000 kg of CO2 emissions.

There are other environmental issues with mining lithium and cobalt and other energy costs involved in making the batteries, but CO2 emissions from mining is way down there on the list of things to be worried about.

I can chime in with some optimizations (linux).

For normal UDP sockets UDP_GRO and UDP_SEGMENT can be even faster than sendmmsg/recvmmsg.

In Gvisor they decided that read/write from tun is slow so they did PACKET_MMAP on raw socket instead. AFAIU they just ignore tap device and run a raw socket on it. Dumping packet from raw socket has faster interface than the device itself.

If you're saying blue light is actually a leading cause of eye strain, then how can you conclude that dark mode doesn't help with that? A large white background has significantly more blue light than a black or gray background. It is already known that dark text on a light background is easier to read in general, but with all the blue lights shining in your eyes it is certainly worth it to toggle dark mode throughout the day to let your eyes rest. The light text on a dark background should not be difficult to read if the environment outside the screen is bright enough. Your point about fine details becoming washed through dilation is true, but only relevant if you are reading in the dark. In which case turning on a light fixes that issue entirely.

Dark Mode _is_ good for your eyes, especially if you are feeling fatigued from reading so much text in light mode. Get a toggle dark mode reader for your browser! You don't have to choose one or* the other, but rather toggle as your eyes are feeling fatigued, or take a walk.

The US government obviously won't ban apps for cooperating with the US government, that doesn't make sense.

But other governments should ban such apps. The CLOUD Act drafts all American tech companies into the US intelligence gathering apparatus; all American companies providing services to foreigners are legally compelled to be spies. EU laws that require EU data to be stored in the EU? Nullified! The CLOUD Act undercuts any foreign data residency laws by requiring US companies to hand over even that data which is stored in other countries. All US tech companies are required by law to participate in espionage. The EU should respond by banning all American apps in the EU (but won't, for obvious realpolitik reasons.)

Firefox has a built-in theming system, they just created a few more built-in themes that are only available for a limited time.

Eye-rolling skeumorphism aside, the axial flux motor design has a power / torque / rpm profile closer to explosion-powered engine and could reasonably (?) be designed with an actual transmission. While axial flux motors are smaller than than induction motors, I doubt an axial flux motor + transmission can be more effective than an induction motor alone.

Combining it with an explosion engine is more interesting though. The 2023 McLaren Artura uses an axial flux motor fused with the engine to maximize total power production even through low acceleration parts of a track, by running the engine while decelerating to charge the battery then the electric motor kicks in to boost acceleration on the flip side. See Engineering Explained's video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICTi2Z_X5Kw

I'm just an engineer, but even I know that if you create an entity and expect to perform financial transactions as that entity, you need a bank account.

Prohibition has worked for a very long time to control the widespread use of many materials, chemicals, and practices (ie building codes) across the world. Alcohol is relatively simple to create and store, and to hide consumption. Alcohol is effective at almost any quality, that doesn't immediately kill you. Cigarettes are a very different beast from alcohol. Unlike marijuana, given the data on second-hand smoke, many people would be eager to report use of cigarettes wherever it was found. Growing the tobacco is another big issue for producers. I don't believe there's a compelling set of reasons indicating cigarette prohibition would be ineffective.

In 2 generations, I'm not sure why anyone would be making cigarettes...when they could make alcohol easier.
