The city collects $0 if there's no building no matter what the incentive was. It would be as if AMZ went somewhere else to build. People see "handout" and think AMZ was written a check, but that's not how the incentives work. "handout" is a very misleading term.
These claims about Tiktok have been used for years, and the data collection is not much different from other corp/state social media apps. I assumed the motivation was around information control, but as researched here, https://www.mintpressnews.com/nato-tiktok-pipeline-why-tikto..., the company is well influenced by NATO intelligence now. The cognitive warfare landscape is evolving. I am really not sure what the justification is at this point. Perhaps they want fewer platforms to control, the architecture is not conducive to the level of control they desire, the FBI is not aligned with agencies controlling Tiktok?
OSM data is much better than Google Maps data for some things. OsmAnd is a really powerful map tool for when Google assumes too much about your use case.

Some people might be aware of her situation along with the impact of her work and maybe think that having one of her videos at the front page of HN could be a way to help.

At least that why I upvoted it.
This still has the problem of touchscreen-ification. I'm talking more about this sort of thing: https://i.imgur.com/uRkrpb0.png, this example isn't the best (the UI is confusing and too cryptic), but you get the idea. Separate window with chat/contact list, separate tabbed window with chats themselves.

$1.5 million? What a joke. That's a tax, not a penalty.

I don't think many are surprised that GoodRX was sharing data (violating its own privacy policy) but come on, have some teeth. You'd think with HIPPA that we'd treat anything medical more seriously.

I don't exactly how, but I have a good idea where to start. I've built a compiler before (in college). I've bootstrapped from hardware before, so I probably could built a very basic kernel. I've worked with radios at the low level in the 90s.

But with ChatGPT, it just seems like magic.
Just a general point:

You can disable badges (in iOS) in notifications separately from the others (that is, allow notifications but not badges).

I found that out because, like you, I require that there is no counter.
The company i work for uses the Microsoft eco system, including Teams. I love how the tools work together. No complaints here.
Precisely. Everyone knew he was a Verizon/ATT corposhill. There have been a bunch of more corrupt appointments, but he was a standout for anyone who paid attention to any news about technology.
I come from a place where it is easy to get booze at 14, and where it is legal to drink at 16. Our teenager drinking culture is pretty much the same as in the US, probably worse: binge drinking, people sleeping on the sidewalk, dick swinging of "who can drink more", it is a real source of pride to be drunk from thursday to monday.

I don't think bans are the main driver of the alcohol problem.

What a well-designed ban might achieve is reducing the attractiveness of the platform by prevent platforms to host content made by other teenagers, which is one of the main reason to be on social medias at that age.

But you are right, educating her is the best I can do. And then pray that she will be an easy teenager.
the term "coincidence" is weird. I read it as somehow relying on the idea that first, there is a person (like a soul?), and then, that soul is "coincidentally" put somewhere. Correct me if you think that's strange, but the idea of "coincidence" to me only seems to make sense if the person somehow predates the location of birth. But if that's not the case, as I would guess most of us believe, then there is no coincidence here, "just" a birth that is already positioned - and your nationality, heritage, culture, language are dependent on that birth. And hence, that is the frame in which a person can only develop - after that fact. And THAT is nowhere near coincidence...

The problem is gmail's infrastructure is most likely (a) built for speed and processing the billions of emails a day and (b) legacy, it probably has none of the access to Google's modern infrastructure such as rating gmail account "quality"
You can get by much cheaper as well - e.g. occasionally I use TP-Link Tapo cameras which record to internal SD card and can also stream to Synology NAS Surveillance Station software (all local).

I'm a bit miffed that the app is trying to sell cloud storage, but for now a full cheap local setup is still possible.

(For a serious setup I'd of course opt for something more serious).
The ford website literally pops up a warning "Due to a combination of high demand and global supply-chain constraints, not all models and trims or features are available to order. Contact your dealer for available inventory stock or future availability" and asks you to acknowledge that before you start doing a build.

The fact that the website lets you configure it doesn't indicate that you can actually get it delivered--which is why I used dealer stock instead.
The laws are stated. If you publish an app the the App Store that violates US law you can be sure it's taken down pronto as well.

TikTok isn't violating US laws, they just want it removed for "national security reasons".

The US has plenty of better options to deal with this like applying broad data privacy legislation such as what EU and China have enacted, creation of a regulator to enforce this and inspect entities to ensure they are playing by the rules etc.

Den of Thieves as well. In that movie they're actually doing their job as police but they're clearly a gang within the police force who routinely break the law and abuse their position for personal gain. They even very clearly describe themselves as a gang in one scene.
This is exactly why security footage will never be available in decrypted form except on hardware I own.
That’s not true at all, there were often famines and other natural disasters that made it impossible to live in a region and people just migrated. It happened constantly.

Watching the children in Ethiopia starving to death, I couldn’t help but wonder how we felt forcing people to live in an emergent desert to death by starvation was better if we just wrote a song about it - “We are the world.” If that were true, why couldn’t they just leave?
And still my brother says "It's the leftists who are radical and they are doing just as bad things as Republicans".

I think unless another reasonable explainations is provided, discrimination is frequently a decent Occam’s razor for large disparities. If, say, a moderately sized town in America has no black families, I think assuming it’s not by accident is the Occam’s razor choice. It would be better if society wasn’t like this, but yknow.

Apple recommends setting up FileVault on their SSDs. It is literally the only way to ensure that the data on the SSD is not recoverable.

And you should do this before you put anything ON the Mac.

If you add a file and only later encrypt the drive, you have no guarantee that that file still isn't somewhere readable one way or another.

This is important when you think about buying a Mac and then choose to return it 3 days later.

Apple states [0]:

Note: With a solid-state drive (SSD), secure erase options are not available in Disk Utility. For more security, consider turning on FileVault encryption when you start using your SSD drive.

On their dedicated encryption page [1] they do state that devices with T2 are encrypted by default:

Note: If you have an iMac Pro or another Mac with an Apple T2 Security Chip, the data on your drive is already encrypted automatically. However, turning on FileVault provides further protection by requiring your login password to decrypt your data.

However I can't find any reference to see how to reset that built-in key.

Just to be able to [store it in a location that's internet accessible, but that is also wholly owned and controlled by the user, rather than a separate entity]
Is that is what is happening with TikTok? Me spying on my neighbors? I don’t even use TikTok and have never set up an account, but it seems like it is overreach without firmly and publicly stating and proving the national security threat. Until then, it’s a free speech issue in my book.
You're not alone in this. It might be a good idea to delete or edit this post; As currently written, it provides instructions and encouragement to make these connections. :)
Thanks - we put 'iced' in the title above to clarify that it was more specific.
In terms of timeline, the key sentence would be "The so-called thermal extinction at the end of the Paleocene began when atmospheric CO2 was just under 1,000 parts per million (ppm)". The end-Permian was likely around 2500 ppm[1]. It doesn't really matter whether that carbon comes from supervolcanoes or from human emissions.

When the article was written, CO2 concentration was 385 ppm. Today it's 421 ppm. If CO2 concentrations were to rise linearly, the timeline for reaching 1,000 ppm would be 250 years. Achieving that would require emissions to stabilize at ~2014 levels. If emissions keep rising, then perhaps it's closer to 150 years. If strong feedbacks kick in, like methane from melting permafrost, then maybe 100 years or less, or maybe we'll reach that happy 2500 ppm mark and see what a real mass-extinction looks like.

Of course the ocean has a big thermal mass, so it will probably take quite some time to heat up enough to trigger the disaster even after we reach that level of atmospheric carbon. Hopefully everything will be fine?

This is an excellent, very insightful post.

When Erik Meijer worked with Gilad Bracha and others on the Dart team to bring async to Dart, he approached with a very similar "lets look at the table of all the combinations and make sure we didn't leave any holes". In this case, the two axes (effects) he considered were asynchrony and iteration. So Dart supports all four combinations:

* Synchronous single-value functions are just normal function declarations. Within one, you use `return` to yield the one value.

* Synchronous multi-value functions are generators, marked `sync`, which return a `Iterable<T>`. Within one, you use `yield` and `yield` to emit values.

* Asynchronous single-value functions are marked `async` and return a `Future<T>`. Within on, you use `await` to pause on asynchronous operations and consume values. A `return` valued is implicitly wrapped in a future.

* Asynchronous multi-value functions are marked `async` and return a `Stream<T>`. Within one, you can use both `yield` and `yield` to emit values and `await` to suspend and consume asynchronous values.

We also have an asynchronous `await for` statement that can be used to imperatively consume a stream.

There's no third axis for fallibility, because Dart chooses to comprehensively use exceptions for operations that fail (which I quite like).

Overall, it's a really rich, comprehensive approach to the problem. I have mixed feelings about it. It really does cover all the bases. But, in practice, `async` functions and `await for` are very* rarely used but add a lot of complexity to the language and engineering burden to the implementations.
No application is banned from operating in China if they are willing to follow the rules. Generally speaking companies like Google just don't like the rules so they don't operate there.

The US has many laws that cause apps to be pulled from the App Store or forcibly be shutdown by hosting companies (even non-US entities!).

Why is it different when the laws are from a different country?

You can read up on EU political institutions on Wikipedia, but it's pretty tiring stuff. It's complicated because it consists of a sequence of treaties, each extending its predecessor. International treaties are pretty turgid, and Wikipedia doesn't do a very good job of making them clear.

I don't know anywhere there is a clear, plain and unbiased presentation of the EU institutions.

As regards growing pains, I think the problems are not a matter of adjustments that need to be made; they are fundamental to the principles of the EU. The idea was to create a region where nations would not go to war with one-another, because they were bound together by trade.

For that to work, trade had to be conducted on a level playing field; that meant free movement of capital and labour, so that corporations could invest where the profits were greatest. At the same time, there had to be controls on government subsidies; governments were supposed to privatise everything, and could not use taxpayer money to help their national champions.

The UK privatised nearly everything; other countries weren't so enthusiastic.

Without these rules, the EU is nothing.

I don't see how the EU can "grow up" out of that. It's not a set of policies, that can be tweaked by a stroke of the legislative pen every few years; it's a bunch of international treaties, with 27 signatories, with many of the signatories having held national referendums on them.

Regarding "Volt Europa": I've never heard of it. Are they new? They've never canvassed me, so perhaps they came into existence since Brexit. Ah - in the 2021 local elections, Volt UK stood one council candidate, somewhere in Warwickshire. They've never stood a candidate for the UK Parliament, nor any European Parliament candidates. They've never won an election. Apparently they are federalists; even among pro-Europeans in UK, not many want to subordinate the UK to an EU super-state.

Tips and Tricks of VS Code That You Should Know
Just use matrix. There are plenty of places that will host your rooms for free, and some will do it for a price. It's always possible that your host ("home server") will not last forever, and I'm not an expert on home server mobility, but it's certainly currently much better than any proprietary host, and the important part is that the community is empowered by the protocol to solve the problems they need solved, including mobility and longevity, if need be. But that's just a worst-case scenario. It would be surprising to have to solve these problems yourself.
Well, except hard alcohol is an order of magnitude more dangerous than wine or beer. And before public drunkenness became a problem, gin was actually the preferred drink amongst the elite for a time.

Wouldn't regulating data privacy just shift the banning to business behaviors instead of consumer behaviors? It's still banning of choice to what the government says.

(Said with tongue in cheek. Help explain where the reasoning is wrong, though. The majority of people would rather get free apps with heavy surveillance attached than pay for anything in money or inconvenience, why is Tiktok different than everyone who sells the data to brokers who then sell it to everyone?)

It's in part hard because the borrow checker isn't omniscient and accepts only a subset of safe programs. There are also some concepts it's difficult to explain to the borrow checker. Both of these are things that make writing programs harder in Rust that do not add any safety value, and it's ok to acknowledge that.

“The Shining” – I asked ChatGPT to put itself in Danny's shoes
Can you put yourself in Danny's shoes?

As an AI language model, I do not have the ability to experience emotions or put myself in someone else's shoes in the way that humans do. However, I can try to imagine what it might be like to be in Danny's situation based on the information provided in the movie.

Danny is a young boy who has psychic abilities that allow him to see the hotel's dark past and the violent events that occurred there. He is also aware of the growing danger posed by his father's increasingly unstable behavior, but feels powerless to stop it.

If I were to try to imagine what it would be like to be in Danny's shoes, I might feel scared, vulnerable, and overwhelmed by the intense emotions and violent events happening around me. I might feel isolated and alone, with nobody to turn to for help. At the same time, I might also feel a sense of responsibility to try to protect myself and others from the danger posed by my father and the hotel's supernatural forces.
Yes, he just needs to find where his brain is, and turn it on. But 5 months in a row, he can't, yet.
If you think of it, every work of art is a combination and/or transformation of pre-existing work. Only Adam and Eve never plagiarized.
It's exactly the problem that led us to Pin in designing async/await.

Futures need to own all of their state. If you want to use that state across multiple combinators (in async/await terms, "across an await point"), given that rust doesn't have GC, you have to somehow make it available to both closures. This meant Arc<Mutex<_>> around things even though they were being used in sequence, because both closures needed to own the state and the compiler doesn't know the closures will only be called in sequence. It was a mess, and was a big hurdle for adoption of futures before async/await was added.
I think it's more likely that they are questioning if long covid actually exists/isn't psychosomatic, given the context of the conversation
I'm saying we've been with several ISP's and if any one had stopped offering unlimited access, we would have switched to a new ISP. We did switch from Spectrum to AT&T Fiber to get faster speeds up and down but otherwise Spectrum's speeds were fine and we mostly didn't have issues with them.
Like not even able to say "fuck"?
I would also suspect that as people get older they are less adventurous in their driving habits. Your to/from work commute and grocery trips expose the ol’ jalopy to a very different ecosystem than the road-trips you would do as a younger person looking for trouble/adventure/memories.
In actual Discord practice, that clause acts more as a liability disclaimer. They do not actively look for and kill third party clients like, say, WhatsApp. However they have an antispam with a high false positive rate, which is tuned to almost always produce a non-spam result with their first party client.
This is a perspective that's really hard for someone in the US to understand. When people here make the exact same arguments that you're making, it sounds xenophobic and dangerous. It's the stuff of Trumpism and MAGA. However, in the context of a true nation state, the exact same words can mean something very different.

When we in the United States try to claim that immigration would hurt our sovereignty as a people, we're referring to an almost fictional nation that's supposedly being overrun—we have always been an eclectic group of immigrants from many places, and the people who have deep ancestral ties to the land are generally marginalized already.

But when people in a true nation state express the same concerns, we in the US should understand that the context is very different. This isn't the case of third generation Americans trying to claim that this land is theirs and no one else should be able to come here—instead we're talking about people whose families have been there literally since time immemorial.

I'm not writing this to take a stand on immigration in Europe or anywhere else, but it's important for us in the US to not project our own sensibilities into a completely different context.

A good article on this topic: https://acoup.blog/2021/07/02/collections-my-country-isnt-a-...
Technology transfer isn't illegal, Cisco was happy with the commercial arrangement. More importantly Motorola before them which is who really kickstarted the Chinese electronics manufacturing sector.

I wish it was more common actually. Imagine if we shared technology more freely in exchange for reciprocal benefits. For instance Australia (my home country) has a wealth of natural resources yet very little high-tech. We should leverage China's dependency on our raw resources to obtain technology transfer to enrich our country in a mutually beneficial way.
Does this preclude their users from suing them for violating the privacy policy (and other laws)?
Whose speech would be limited if the US banned TikTok?
I was at a tech event and I realized the 20-something I was chatting with didn't know what a floppy disk was. I had to explain it to him and he only got it when I finally showed him images on Google and he sort of got the concept.

He was a software engineer and he had literally never heard of floppy disks!
