I'm not sure I understand your question. Sometimes they get "taken care of" instantly by software. Sometimes it takes moderators minutes or hours to see them and "take care of" them. Other times we don't see it and an email from a user asks us to look into it, which we do. That can take a bit longer because there's an extra hop in the path.
Because installing a different OS deletes all your programs & data. Sure, you can maybe back it up & restore it, but you can't restore your programs & usually can't use their data with the replacements. Installing a new application doesn't delete the old application.

Of course if the user is technical enough they can figure out how to resize their existing partitions & set up a dual boot. But that's not the default, and that still risks corrupting the existing partition and therefore deleting all their programs & data.

My favorite quote on the meaning of life, from Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning":

> For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment. To put the question in general terms would be comparable to the question posed to a chess champion: "Tell me, Master, what is the best move in the world?" There simply is no such thing as the best or even a good move apart from a particular situation in a game and the particular personality of one's opponent. The same holds for human existence. One should not search for an abstract meaning of life. Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life to carry out a concrete assignment which demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone's task is as unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it.

1. Could be worse, could be constant false accusations (as per your responses). You are more than welcome to paste any denial of colonialism.

2. You have not offered anything close to a reasoned argument, and then you complain that you haven't received one back.

3. I have said before, and I am quite happy to reiterate, because you have nothing to offer here, and I am very VERY happy if I never hear from you again. (Although I doubt you will stop, you are getting the attention you seem to want)

4. Finally, also, please fix your state of denial, and, can I strongly recommend that you stop looking to books for the effects of colonialism, when you are dealing with people that have actually experienced it, and continue to experience its effects.
Now, how do you deal with the false positives?
Meaning, happiness, purpose, etc. are things that I think are made needlessly complicated or abstract. I think it helps if you are good at something--good enough to make a living at it, possibly, or earn accolades and status. This does not apply to most people, hence self-help books and the like.

Post scarcity has more to do with divorcing labor from production than producing unlimited amounts of widgets. A basic living, often proposed as basic income, is therefore available to all without everyone fully employed. Our work morality that equates labor with godliness will make this morally hard to accept, but I dream someday art can be a labor of its own merit, or even building realms in Minecraft. I don’t frankly see what’s intrinsically superior to laboring at McDonalds or as an accountant for some globo corporation over playing video games all day. But most people believe breaking your soul in a cubicle is somehow morally superior.

Let's apply the same logic to people then. "John scammed his neighbour of his life savings, we don't need to lock him up because lots of people will refuse to associate with him or supply him with goods and services."

Making loss of business or minor fines the only mechanism for correcting behaviour, means that the leaders can view antisocial and unethical behaviour as a cost benefit tradeoff. And the lack of personal accountability means the company leadership has very limited downside, even if they completely screw up.
If you're referring to nuclear, that only happened recently. Before, environmentalists had done more to stop zero emissions energy than to promote it.

Geoengineering is likely to be the same type of fight. We pretty much have to do it. There's no way around it at this point. It's biggest enemy are environmentalists who demand ideological purity. It's heading towards the same story as anti-nuclearism.

It should also be noted that people who are pro-nuclear or pro-geoengineering are not fanatics and are not obsessed with their ideas in the way radical environmentalists are. No one is suggesting that they replace all other ideas. Radical environmentalists who suggest that is the case are basically projecting. As if their opponents are as crazy as they are with their ideas.

Then it was an extremely stupid move to rack up a large number of UK customer accounts if you know it will make the licensing process more onerous, and delay the introuction of financial product that are dependent on the license.

Let's be real, they set up shop in Lithuania first because it was an easy way to enter the then-EU member UK market. Their offices are based in London because they weren't going to get unicorn valuations sitting in Vilnius.

> My username is my real name and I live in Toledo, Ohio. typing that gives me no pause or concern.

The issue isn't that you aren't writing this post with no pause of concern.

The issue is that after writing it, and, presumably, comprehending what you, yourself wrote, you still harbor the delusion of maintaining some moral high ground (as are some other posters in this thread)

The US maintains a lot more freedoms for its citizens simply due to exerting vast military power to siphon resources from the entire planet (with exceptions to China/Russia, obviously). Otherwise, it's entirely unknown and hypothetical as to whether it would or could be a "shining beacon of democracy" as so many would like to believe it currently is (which it very well may be, compared to CCP/Russia, which is not a very high bar)
Check your mental models. Anytime you reach for the term “sinophobia”, you are likely unintentionally repeating CCP propaganda.

Nobody here is complaining about Chinese people. They are complaining about a particular regime at the head of the Chinese government. They have approximately zero overlap and accusations of Sinophobia are designed to smokescreen any accusations of a government.
The cause is probably a bit more benign than what you hint at. China likely mandates that positive content in the domestic market, but in overseas markets TikTok is simply left free to do the usual thing of sorting content for maximum user engagement with the app.

The history of all social media shows that when you optimize for engagement in that way dark, hostile, triggering, or just mindless addictive filler is what you get. As I said elsewhere: trash seems to maximize engagement.

If China let TikTok prioritize only engagement in China they’d also have a feed of nothing but mental junk food.

I really do think there needs to be stricter regulations about how products like these can be advertised. Do you really "own" the printer if the manufacturer can decide what ink you're allowed to put in it after you've already paid for it? It really seems disingenuous to market these prints as "purchases" or something that you "buy" like you would a loaf of bread.

It's not quite "renting", but it's not really "owning" either because when you "buy" it, it's not just yours, but you actually share some degree of ownership of it with the manufacturer.
This kind of shit is one of the reasons why people stop believing in western democracy.
A link to a tweet would do it. And if they're in any lists, those lists could show the old name too.

You could also keep the old name (or most of it) as the start of the new name.
I think every other country should ban Twitter, FB and Instagram, based on these same arguments.

In fact, the world would be a better place.
I also think it's intentional that any discussion of TikTok's behaviour, no matter how egregious, always seems to get derailed (Facebook is worse! The US govt is terrible! etc etc) or ends up in a muddy swamp of confusing/conflicting narratives where no clear conclusion can be made.

This subthread is a flamewar that died down. Please don't rekindle it.

If MSFT were acting carefully to avoid bugs, they wouldn't be abolishing the QA department and replacing it with Windows Insiders and Telemetry and Virtualization, and they wouldn't be releasing a bug every time they release a monthly patch.

I suspected that "indie hackers" are mostly hacking their customers, not their code. Here's a good data point in favor of my theory.
Depends on what sort of disk I/O you have in mind. Floppy disks were never snappy, but HDD disks were fine for the most part until the OS started using them for virtual memory. Keep in mind that things were much smaller these days - i remember thinking that my 2GB HDD would never fill up :-P.

Also in the last few years disk I/O optimization took a massive nosedive, especially under Windows. My 2013 laptop has a ~5400rpm HDD was so unusable with Windows 10 that even the login screen crossfade animation stuttered from disk I/O and updates took literally hours. Meanwhile Windows 8, released only a few years prior, was able to boot my older 2008 laptop from power on to desktop in ~22 seconds (i was so impressed at the time that i uploaded a video of the boot process [0]).

If you are used to the recent awful I/O performance it can be hard to imagine things not always being like that.

Besides you can also check a bunch of YouTube videos with old computers running Win95, here is a short one i found that goes through the bootup process and clicks around the OS for a bit.[1] The computer in the video is actually slower than the one i personally had too.

After reading the terrific "Denial of Death" I asked a few friends if they felt dread knowing that would one day die. They said they don't worry about it and I cannot relate. Seems to me the entire meaning of life and the point of it all is to just LIVE.

It follows that knowing of your own eventual annihilation must be terrifying. Sure you can take refuge in false delusions or just ignore it. But if you're not afraid of death, are you really living? Are you really respecting life properly when you're not terrified to lose it?
Why do they do it? Is it a reaction on regulator critique, or a plain "let's lock this account up to take some money" dumb (or smart?) profit-generation?

Typespecs in Elixir (combined with Dialyzer) give you a very limited version of what TypeScript offers. From what I understand Dialyzer is designed to only raise an error when it's absolutely certain that you're mistaken about the types in your program. While this does prevent Dialyzer from complaining about false positives, it only catches the most trivial of bugs [1].

Also even with Elixir's typespecs, static typing is only fully useful if the entire ecosystem around a language embraces it. If some of the libraries you use don't ship with type definitions, it's going to be difficult for any static analysis tool to do a decent job. Almost every major JS library either ships with its own types, or has quality third party types available via Definitely Typed. It doesn't seem like the Elixir community has really embraced static typing to the same extent that TypeScript developers have. The creator of Phoenix for example hates dialyzer [2].

That's not necessarily true. Bitrot and bit flipping is pernicious and largely silent, while it affects source code less than object code, its still an issue regardless of the language medium.
The next gen AIs will be reading all this in their training data, which is a very weird situation.
The way a perpetual future works is that it's basically a bet between two parties on whether the price of Bitcoin will go up or down. Every day, the loser pays the winner by the amount of movement.

But what if the loser doesn't want to pay? The winner is screwed.

To prevent this scenario, but both sides are required to post collateral with the exchange, which gets used to settle the bets. The collateral is required to be a certain percentage of the size of price of Bitcoin. If, due to losing your bet, your collateral dips below the minimum amount required, it is repossessed by the exchange and your bets are terminated.

This is considered leverage because it magnifies the risk of speculating on Bitcoin.

One way to bet on Bitcoin is to simply buy it. If the price of Bitcoin goes from $10,000 to $11,000, that's a 10% reform return.

But if there's an exchange that allows 100x leverage perpetual futures, what they're saying is that I can buy a perpetual future by only posting 1% of the price of the underlying as collateral. So if I buy a perpetual future on Bitcoin while the price is at $10,000 and it goes to $11,000, my return is way higher. I only need to put up $100 for collateral but I just made $1000. That's a 1000% return.

The problem, as you might guess, is that if the price falls, the exchange takes my $100, whereas if I had bought Bitcoin, I'd still own the Bitcoin.

There's also a problem that the exchange can easily blow up if the market moves too fast for them to liquidate the losers and make the winners whole. The greater the amount of leverage the exchange allows, the greater the chance of this happening.
