Nevertheless, it doesn't mean he wouldn't try to keep power.

He said "we will accept defeat as we did in the Istanbul elections" but in those elections he managed to cancel the election by claiming that the ballot for the mayor was stolen when the ballot for the council was not. How convenient, since his party won the council.

Both of the ballots are voted together and put in the same envelope but somehow only one of the votes was stolen.

Anyway, before the election re-run they paid out the outstanding sums to the contractors close to them, they hired large number of supporters and did other arrangements.

The elected mayor tried to backup the IT systems before being removed and was accused with espionage.

The interior ministry recently said that the mayors in the Kurdish regions were swiftly removed upon Erdogan's request. Officially, they are removed due to terror allegations. The same guy was trying to have police force present at the election locations and doing parallel counting but thankfully the elections committee denied his request(legally, the police are not allowed more than 100 meters to the ballots unless their help is requested).

Anyway, if the results are close I wouldn't trust Erdogan to step down easily. His whole election campaign revolves around the premise that the opposition are bunch of traitors and terrorist(in literal sense. In his rallies he plays clips of the opposition with literal terrorist edited in), I don't know how he will explain to his base leaving the power to "traitors" and "terrorists".

> Without sensitive location data to some specific users but solely the young sharing memes, I wounder how CCP could use that data…

Speculation about how adversaries might advantageously use data is meaningless unless coupled with policy that allows access to such data only with binding agreements about how that data can be used.

As a general principle, I believe adversaries should not have blanket access to data of US citizens.

My belief, however, is meaningless when US powers-that-be to date show little interest in regulating data policy with respect to any business, foreign or domestic.
Phoenix LiveView uses JS because the core of the tech requires the server to compute diffs & the client to patch the DOM accordingly. This is why a JS package is needed alongside the other default package from Phoenix, which brings Phoenix Sockets & Channels capability (which builds on top of transports such as Websocket).

My prediction is that we will see a whole sub-industry of "anti-prompt-injection" companies, probably with multi billion dollar valuations. It's going to be a repeat of the 90s-00s anti virus software industry. Many very sub par solutions that try to solve it in a generic way.

No, we're past that point. it's no longer the most useful way to describe these things, we need to understand that they already have some sort of "understanding" which is very similar if not equal to what we understand by understanding.

I do wonder if that isn't a solution. Couldn't they just ship rootful xwayland as the officially supported X server on Asahi, thereby being able to drop X.org without trashing people's setups?

Yes, there is a private/direct messaging feature in TikTok that should of course be considered accessible to ByteDance, and by extension the Chinese government.

However, that is not the only valuable information.

The user behavioral profiles (which users have viewed what videos when, what do they engage with, what do they re-share to others) are valuable, particularly if you can de-anonymize them against account registration data. Also, the social graph of a big service like TT is a goldmine.

Both types of information are useful whether you're doing traditional espionage, targeted influence operations, or mass-influence/propaganda.

For traditional espionage, knowing what sort of content someone watches could give you direct insight into non-public aspects of their life that could be leveraged. (I.e. mental or physical illness, sexual interests, relationship problems, fringe political leanings, etc. etc.) There's a fair amount of not-exactly-porn but porn-adjacent stuff (and lots of health/wellness/lifestyle content) on TT that could give you leverage or at least ideas on how to approach someone if you wanted to convince them to pass information to you, provide access to something, etc.

The real value is in targeted influence ops, though. Find someone you want to influence, or a small subset of the population you want to influence, and drill down to figure out who their 'thought leaders' / opinion-setters are within their social circle. Figure out what kind of media engages them. Go after them indirectly via their friends/colleagues/family. TT is demographically limited right now, so you're probably not changing many Senators' votes directly, but you might be able to get their kids, their kids' friends, their junior staffers, etc. thinking a particular way. Done the right way, the actual influence target might never even need to be messaged-to directly. They'd get the full social-media 'Inception' treatment and probably think they came up with their opinion organically or by being in touch with the culture.

And then of course for mass-messaging/propaganda, you use the information in aggregate just like any big advertising company does, but for political ends, and without having to engage an actual advertising company that's going to create a tangible trail.

You should negociate Key indicators performance.
For project, you should consider scrum instead a kanban, to measure velocity and bandwith firstable in storypoint and convert it into mandays.
Second, you must choise kpi according the business value. Except sales, what automation will breed, cost savings in men days .
Next you must priorize business needs .
For the project, you need a roadmap and takes commitments for the quarter.
For projects from scratch first sprints consists in delivering server, database. Others springs small evolutions.
According the mean score of velocity, you should consider a Support epic for bug fixing for a third of sprint.
In parallel you should consider a kanban.
So for each sprint planning , you must communicate to the users and the team all chosen user stories. During the review you could present the delivered function to the business . The retro is useful to improve organization . So the main report is defined by the burndown chart, list of epic , the time in the roadmap, the budget .
For support, you must analyze the kind of question, the kind of bug. For blocking and critical bugs, you must propose the rootcause, a bug fixing and then a solution.
For functional question, you must build a Qna and a document for change management and the needs of complement of knowledge transfer.

I doubt the reservation is with the language/runtime itself, especially with elixir and the BEAM. More likely, it’s with the maturity of the community. Especially at a small startup, building on elixir even today might still mean having to build things in house you may not in Django/Rails/JS.

Here's an example of a deeply misleading article. Reading this you wouldn't know the new law only eliminates bail for misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies. You wouldn't know that while judges can't set high bail because they consider a defendant dangerous they can determine a dangerous defendant isn't eligible for bail at all and keep them in jail regardless.

It also leaves out that the point of bail is ensuring people return, not keeping them in jail. This makes sense: if someone is dangerous they're dangerous no matter how much money they have.

I am blown away by the suggestion to use factories over fixtures.

Factories are almost 100% responsible for excruciatingly slow test runs, since you have to rebuild the world every single test. Fixtures work perfectly fine and only need to be created once at the beginning of your test run.

For that matter, rspec itself is also a thoroughly unnecessary cargo-culted dependency when Ruby and Rails already bundle perfectly-serviceable, simple test frameworks.
I do understand that there are channels out there doing drama for the sake of drama. I do understand that, after over 6 years of following now, JayzTwoCents and especially GamersNexus are no such channels. Furthermore, I do understand that if you have a business relationship with a sponsor, you request products which you will then show on your channel for the sake of reviewing. You are not getting it for free. Companies do get a review or visibility in return. That's how I do understand "sponsoring" and "marketing". So do you?

(first, I am biased as I have worked with Ruby since 2007 and still enjoying it)

This is not a reply to you, but I decided a long time ago that I will not let this argument about scalability remain with response.

If you have already decided not to try Ruby on Rails or any Ruby framework, say so.

It is ok to have different preferences.

But this thing with Ruby needs to be more scalable is a very weak argument.

Here is why:

In the tech industry, it is not uncommon to come across companies that opt to rewrite their tech stack in a different language, often citing scalability as a reason. While this argument holds some merit, it's worth noting that scalability is a complex issue that affects all web frameworks, not just Ruby on Rails. Therefore, criticizing Ruby on Rails solely based on scalability may not be a strong argument when you take into consideration the idea that there are very big companies build with it.

- Ruby on Rails is scalable for 99.999% of all startups created with it. This 99.999% will die for any other reason but not because of their tech stack. Again the same can be said about any other web framework. Of course the 99.999% is just a made up number based on the fact that there are so few companies failing because of their tech stack scalability.

- Twitter and Github are maybe in the top 0.0001% of web apps when thinking about scale or usage. Hope you (the reader of this comment) will create a startup that will be so successful in terms of scale. But the chances are that with 99.999% confidence, you are not them, and the chances to create a product that will be like them are slim.

- The problems at scale are not only technological but also organizational.

Now open this list https://www.ycombinator.com/topcompanies and this list https://www.ycombinator.com/topcompanies/public and try to check how many of them are using Ruby. There are quite a few in this top. It scales or else there should not be any big company using Ruby there.
What are "these" semantics? The PDF linked describes all of both PVI and PNVI, so saying LLVM implements "these" semantics in that context would be like if you said "I dated her in college" when somebody is describing the entire US population.

Cultural Variation in Past Hikikomori Experiences of University Students (2019) - DOI: 10.1080/00221325.2019.1633618

Nigeria 20.90 %
Singapore 9.50 %

You can disagree on a self reporting study, but Hikikomori will exist in the US, if you want to say it's insignificant to Japan you do need indicate what the rates are.
This is the "detecting attacks with AI" proposal which I tried to debunk in the post.

Ask HN: How to suppress the >50% of FB feed that is trash?
For a while now, Facebook has been ramping up the amount of third party posts that get into my feed. Not ads. Posts from pages I have absolutely no connection to. These now account for more than 50% of the posts on my feed. (I counted.)

They are very frustrating because they are 1) more catchy to the eye than posts from my friends, 2) at best completely uninteresting, 3) at worst contain innuendos that sexualize my feed but are probably in the gray area of policy violation.

What can I do about it? (Deleting FB is not the solution for me. This is how I keep up with family/friend news.)

Is there a way to get my ad blocker to help? Any other browser extensions you recommend?
I haven't heard anything about microsoft helping AMD, it sounds interesting. Do you mind linking an article?

I haven’t used Swift enough to comment on the contrast, and I do sometimes wish for a bit more type inference in Objective-C (rather than having to keep clarifying that yes, -stringByReplacingOccurencesOfString:withString: is going to return [… drumroll …] a string). But I must admit that I too have a huge soft spot for Objective-C. Including those beautifully unambiguous selector names.

I have already filed a preemptive complaint with the FTC and DOJ requesting they block any merger attempt between Uber and Lyft. I encourage you to do the same.

A merger would bolster the remaining enterprise's market power, and they're going to shed redundant jobs anyway in a merger ("efficiencies"). Better to let both continue to exist with razor thin margins, like supermarkets. The only stakeholder that benefits from consolidation is shareholders.

https://www.justice.gov/atr/citizen-complaint-center
The point is, if Lyft goes out of business, it has the same effect on the market for rideshare prices as an acquisition does, so why not allow the merger so it's less disruptive and more employees get to keep their jobs?

The problem with map/reduce/etc in ObjC is twofold:

- Objective-C doesn't support generic value types for function arguments

- Objective-C can't optimize away method calls and therefore value boxing

What that means in practice is that you can't write a generic version of map/reduce/etc without it being very slow even for things that should be very fast. If you want one that works efficiently for value types like integers, you must write a specialized version for each type.

(I have written and sometimes use for convenience ObjC map/reduce/etc implementations.)

>As I understand, you don't really need money to make a co-op, [...] The most plausible route I've heard is freelancers forming a co-op where they pitch in some portion of what they make to a shared pot [...] , but it seems a plausible way for individuals without a bunch of money to start a co-op.

Yes, your realistic scenario of a co-operative is something I already outlined in a previous comment of "consultants co-op office" : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14647223

But that type of freelance co-op isn't really what most people are thinking about when the discussion follows the template of "Big company <X> did something bad so why don't workers form a co-op <Y> instead of being screwed over by <X>?!?"

In this thread, the topic is "IBM" laying people who are "too old". In response, some observers think "workers should form co-ops" to avoid being screwed over. In other words, the hypothetical co-op version of an "IBM" wouldn't lay off old workers. The "freelancers co-op" doesn't apply to this story of an IBM middle manager (MaryKathryn Doheny) being laid off.

The issue is that companies like IBM, or Google, or Tesla, etc are by their very nature -- capital intensive -- so there won't be co-op alternatives for those.

Still the same underlying economic factors: the car workers don't have the money to pool together and form a worker-owned car factory -- and the founders/investors who are motivated to start a new car company are not interested in sharing equity with a 100% worker-owned structure.

That's why the employees who don't like Tesla's ownership structure can't quit and go work at a worker-owned co-op electric vehicle manufacturer.
