> So your argument is that ByteDance doesn't let CCP authorities censorship directives to affect the app they serve abroad?

Not exactly. Let me explain in a slightly roundabout way: there's an old article/song that states a truth "Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly." The Chinese government censorship requirements mean ByteDance certainly has the technology to prevent showing beauty magazines to teens (because they also have to suppress so much else), and the Chinese government (in a good bit of policy that goes with the bad) may have directly told them to use that technology to not show beauty magazines to teens. That means they loose some $$$ in China because they can't make Chinese teens feel ugly by showing them beauty magazines. However, they come to America, shut off that technology, and make go some $$$ in the US by making American teens feel ugly.

Note: I'm not literally talking about beauty magazines, I'm just using them as a stand in for "negative, but appealing" content, because that quote I started with came to mind.

These platforms are designed and optimized to achieve goals set by various parties. It's naive to look at a difference like this and assume the algorithm is neutral and they cause is some "difference in interests."

Some Companies Saying ‘Diversity & Belonging’ Instead of ‘Diversity & Inclusion’
The non profits actually argue that they should get the bond money back even when the assailants skip bond, and they actually often do. So it’s like they suffer no consequences (the non profit or the assailants).
It's funny people are worried about lithium batteries when lighters are still allowed on planes...
It's a cheap small device that's extremely portable. When I was doing more random tech support things, I'd probably try to keep one in the backpack because it's relatively tiny. It can handle boot media, pxe, testing random hardware, connecting to networks you need, etc. It would come useful when I don't have a laptop / didn't expect to need to do work, but it turns out I'd really like my laptop right now. At that size, I'd just never take it out / leave behind.

Although with the new, more powerful phones I could also carry a small USB dock instead. I've done random emergency work on N900 before.
> the obvious fact that the White race would evolve over thousands of generations.

Ok so there was a long period of time when "white" people didn't have white fathers. But earlier you said that's not possible.

Another way of saying there's edge cases for a rule is that the rule isn't a rule at all.

> That's because one's race is determined by one's ancestry.

Not true! You and I both agree that some people that were previously referred to as non-white are now commonly referred to as white. Ancestry is one part of the muddled definition that racists try to worm their way around into being objective. The truth is there's no objective basis for race, it is all made up, and it changes pretty constantly. I'd consider myself white but I have Polish (Slavic) and Scottish (previously non-white) ancestry. But, at some point, it became fine for me and people like me to call ourselves white. The English would have disagreed, as recently as the 1850s.

Demanding a ransom is criminal.

Paying a ransom should be a business decision. There are already many business constructs such as key man insurance, cybercrime insurance etc., that are b2b contractual agreements to protect against such losses. How does one reconcile the existence of such agreements while (potentially) outlawing this?

It is horrifying to be on the receiving end of a business' data security and confidentiality mess.

IANAL, but the patient should have sued under PHI disclosure by the covered entity to an unauthorized party without patient consent. This in addition to the federal HIPAA violations and state civil penalties and other legal remedies the patient is entitled to. [1]

What does a battery weigh?

Do you know that conventional gas is delivered to homes around the country, currently, on a semi-annual basis to supply total heating needs, by truck?

The infrastructure is nill for fuel cell vehicles.

Battery vehicles will be wildly burdensome to the electrical infrastructure if widely adopted. Trucking via EV is currently completely unacheivable with the energy capacity available. No discussion of charging capacity. Also, it adds tons (actual tons) of weight to the non-cargo load
Seems unlikely, we’ve known the difference for a long time, and the diagnosis versus say cardiogenic shock is pretty straightforward.

The classifications are not mutually exclusive. You can have one without the other, or both together. Given that most cardiac arrests are caused by MCI I’d expect the rates of deaths due to cardiac arrest declining as well.

Steak is the most overrated food ever. Give me soup dumplings, tacos, neapolitan pizza, ANYTHING over a bland unseasoned slab of meat that cost $50-100 (or way more in Vegas). The romance around steak is entirely cultural and not objective.
I think you're right in a broad sense but this is the least bad situation. Because the alternative is that no laws that require expertise ever get passed or worse, legislators rubber stamp laws they don't really understand written by people in industry.
Tire noise is a big one, especially if you live near a freeway that isn’t recessed and sound fortified enough. I passed on a town home with a great view of Seattle because the noise over I5 was unbearable. Heck, I hear plenty of tire noise even way out in Ballard where we ultimately bought.
One theme seems like it's not that hard to distill. That aimless young men with no prospects and no philosophy are more inclined to participate in destruction, and end up destructed.

We have English literature classes for the very purpose of finding and discussing these and other themes. The point of Shakespeare, Dickens, and Orwell aren't always immediately understood to some readers, even if they sense that there's something to be taken from what they're reading.
It has been a while but I feel like the political and racial content is pretty in line with stuff that used to go on his blog; that just didn't use to be his main focus.
One contributor is that most batteries have a protective circuit built in. It usually has a DW01 chip and a pair of MOSFETs to prevent overcurrent charging, overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent discharging, all for under a cent.

Since most batteries are protected, the cheapest chargers can be 'dumb', with a simple constant current output. When the battery is charged, the built in protection device will stop the charge when charged.

However, only most batteries have this protection. If you plug one of these cheap dumb chargers into a battery that doesn't have the protection circuit, then it will catch fire after a few hours.
This is very interesting. Can you elaborate on this a bit more? I'm assuming this is Linux? How could this be achieved? Are there done special scripts or programs?
Why don't you tell the publications who publish clickbait rather than an audience who predominantly just reads it? The HN submission titles are usually kept how they are published, sometimes to the detriment of the reader as you describe, but that's for a reason too. Life is compromise.
Yes, but it doesn't count towards the minimum approve count for PR to be allowed to be merged. It's basically just a comment.

Some kinks should absolutely be shamed and rejected. When talking about sexuality, people seem to stop at consent as if it’s the only important aspect, where in fact consent is only the start. It’s the most basic of requirements and there’s a lot discussion to be had after establishing that most basic of rules.

For now, I don’t care about what people do themselves or in their own home and such, but don’t rub it in other people’s face. If you’re saying that it should be public and it’s all good, we’re on very different levels and there is no actual middle grounds here.

The usual culprit is 'replacement' (non-OEM) batteries for an expensive device, for example a drill. The OEM version has a smart charger and a protected battery. A non-OEM battery lacks protection. A non-OEM charger is dumb. Either alone is safe. Combine them, and a fire happens. And because the device is expensive, the people in China who designed the battery and charger never had the original device to do proper testing with.
Remember how fast people got at texting on feature phones? It's like that, but faster. You just have to train at it; like a stenographer's keyboard.

That's exactly wrong. Up until April 15th Twitter submitted detailed information on takedown requests to the Lumen Project[1]. Under Musk they've stopped that, and no longer publish anything systematically. Musks' announcement of the Turkey censorship leaves of what content was censored and for what reason, information Twitter has historically provided.

Twitter had been arguably the best tech company for censorship resistance. They're the only company that routinely fought the US government in court to protect user privacy.

Does tofu count? Lots of great recipes. We frequently make Mapo tofu at home (which can be made vegan if you want, and pretty easy to cook - just buy a jar of Doubanjiang(?) at your nearest Chinese grocery).

Or if you feel really lazy, slice tofu into bite-size, and place a slice of kimchi on top of each. A bit like spicy Caprese.
It's just a thing. As a US qwerty layout user I've had to use JP while living in Japan. Got into mechanical keyboards and have used a 60% HHKB, 40% Vortex Core (chords), and now a fully programmable ZSA Moonlander of which no one but me could actually type a large set of special characters on.

Then mix in the emacs, vim, kakoune obsession and, well, fluidity in key memorization is king.

Have tinkered with the dvorak layout or similar but can't really commit because that is actually the one thing where the effort curve takes too long to pay off for me.

Wasn’t that an opinion that was shared by many back then - that a full invasion would be way too costly with little to gain and Russia is just sabre-rattling?

Most people in Europe could not imagine a full out war and considered the warnings from the US as merge fear mongering.
It seems at least plausible an argument I read years ago, maybe in Raymond Chen's blog, that in reality the only thing that makes a difference is paying people to look for bugs and fix them because people don't like doing that that much.

Government overreach is... repealing regulations?

Net neutrality is not law. There are valid arguments to be made against it - like with your cell plan, everyone can or perhaps should, pay for the bytes they use, and how much infrastructure (CPU) those bytes use to get delivered fast. There are also arguments for net neutrality.

But as with any agency, and agency is not a direct democracy. What if people in urban centers decided for the country that property tax should be based on acres of land? All of a sudden living on a cheap farm costs millions in taxes. But most people are in the city, so they outvote the farmers.

So we don't have a direct democracy for most things.

The solution is not law. Making up a thousand laws for every little thing is that government overreach you speak of. Repealing laws is literally the opposite of overreach.

What we need is more competition, so I as a user will pick the ISP that does not slow down traffic for me to sites I want to visit, instead of choosing between people who want to screw me with vs without lube.

Countries like France did it right. Cables go through public land, towers are on public land, radio frequencies are public. A company can't buy that.

So they put in cables and any company that wants can rent them, but never buy them. That's why in France, I had GbE at my house for 8EUR/month, with a free router, a decade ago, and cumblast here charges me $50/month for 50Mb/s today. Choice and competition. Capitalism.

The issue I've seen is OSS has rarely scaled to large projects, with the Linux kernel being the exception. Part of why desktop Linux never happened was people kept arguing over desktop environments and UI toolkits, and it led to an incomplete, glued-together product. There wasn't a holistic vision, leaving design arguments to go on for decades.

Another problem is software in the purest sense stopped being the hard part. Look at Twitter, but this applies to lot of products that got popular after ~2000. The community is its asset, a lot of effort goes into just keeping it running, and human intervention (moderation) is/was often needed to tend to the garden.

OSS can be a building block, but the challenges we see today are at a higher level.
Just write the desired governor to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${X}/cpufreq/scaling_governor, e.g. powersave, performance etc. Poke about in there to see what governors are available, and do it in a loop to set all cores (you can get the number from /proc/cpuinfo).

It doesn't require democratic consensus but the FDA is legally obligated to take public feedback into consideration. [1] Section C: "(c)After notice required by this section, the agency shall give interested persons an opportunity to participate in the rule making through submission of written data, views, or arguments with or without opportunity for oral presentation. After consideration of the relevant matter presented, the agency shall incorporate in the rules adopted a concise general statement of their basis and purpose."

The companies generating fake comments were likely doing so precisely to ensure this federal law did not become an issue. The thing that really annoys me about this stuff is not the outcome - the comments in favor of net neutrality were change.org caliber spam for the most part, and so the FCC had every reasonable right to ignore them.

It's that these companies did absolutely engage in a conspiracy to "sidestep" federal law, and did so by engaging in defacto identify theft on a massive scale. Conspiracy, a few hundred thousand charges of identity theft, fraud, and more? If an individual did this, they'd be looking at jail for the rest of their life. But these companies do it, and things like this don't even classify as a slap on the wrist. Our legal system is just completely and utterly dysfunctional when it comes to companies.

Corporations not only have personhood, but super personhood. They not only get all the rights and privileges of individuals, but seeming immunity from the law, as long as they earn enough money. And it's not only the inequity that bothers me, but the fact that this is clearly and overtly encouraging ever more awful behavior from corporations. Because they have no ethics, and they face no consequences of note. So why not?

Sure it fits with the narrative, but the narrative is pretty poor. This article was just published recently, and it cherry-picks a graph from even before the economist article that coined the “techlash” world.

Poor research and poor writing from (presumably) successful people contributes greatly to the “techlash.”
The human side to this solution is worrying though. You have an app designed to save you time, and in any such app people will train themselves to “just click it to get it done” almost like a reflex. And so that attack could easily get unnoticed.

You probably need the solution here along with some other heuristics to detect fraud or scams.

e.g. If a friend sent you an email that scores low on how likely it is that they wrote it based on the content then display a red warning and a hidden OK button ala SSL alerts.

For dangerous actions like sending money, delay by 1 hour and send a second factor confirmation that says “you will send money ensure this is not a scam” and only when more questions are answered is it done.

It seems we use ultrasound, for example on every baby, and don't have good data to prove that there are no side effects.

Yet research like this shows that there clearly are biological effects of sufficiently powerful ultrasound.

Don't think prompting LLMs require particularly "good" English in the first place. You can say a half baked sentence with typos and it'll still make sense of it.

Plus when you go meta and ask LLMs to generate prompts for themselves, you own language proficiency becomes even less important.

I do think English/language proficiency will help with Generative image AIs like Midjourney. Like if someone could describe a scene in extreme detail that's more likely to produce a result closer to what you want.
