> First of all, any company operating out of China can be assumed to be under more or less direct control of the CCP.

Statements like that really make me question people's knowledge of basic history and international politics. Yes, a nation's major commercial actors often work in conjecture with their government. Is this news to anyone? This is not unique to China in the least.

> The second difference/risk comes with looking whom these apps target: kids.

And this argument is so tired that it even has its own Wikipedia page explaining that it is a logical fallacy:

> Seems like I need to write a service utilizing NATS which talks to the OIDC server.

Auth callout was designed to be a generic extension point to delegate authentication and generate dynamic a user JWT that NATS understands (permissions, limits, etc). It enables an arbitrary backend to be integrated with, not tied specifically to OIDC. But indeed, this requires implementing a service that does this integration.

> NATS auth story is a complicated one, and now with auth callout it's even more complicated.

There is a spectrum of auth options, starting with simple config-based, token or user/pass leading up to decentralized auth for use cases that need it. Auth callout is an opt-in thing, so it should only be adopted if it is truly necessary.

> you have to have dedicated functions which you would call in the request handler
[...] instead of being able to define a chain of middleware functions

I don't quite understand this statement. Wrapping a NATS handler is the same approach as wrapping an HTTP handler (within the same client app). The function would take a handler and return a handler. There can be inspection of the message within that function and the choice of calling the next handler, responding early, doing some external call, or doing nothing.

If you want to distribute this middleware, then you would need to have separate, explicit subjects that each middleware would subscribe to and then publish to for the next element in the chain (for a choreography approach).

There is also the "message slip pattern" where the ingest component sets the path as metadata (e.g. headers) that each middleware component uses that to know (at request time) which subject to publish the result to next.
The Zima Blade isn't actually USB-C powered - it's just a USB-C port carrying a raw 12V. No PD negotiation supported.

Honestly, for me, total dealbreaker for a product like this. Not only will it never work with anything other than the original PSU, that PSU will likely fry anything else you plug it into.
Retro arch does a good with filters too, especially the mega bezel ones. Though I mostly use my mister these days. Both on the same Samsung quantum dot oled. Street fighter 2 looks amazing on both.
Hi nikeee glad to see you here!

As maintainer of Hurl, I'm very happy that HTTP clients is the new place to be! I'm not able to write a text editor, but a tool relying almost entirely on curl is in my reach...
Word, or even something like Google Docs which lacks some features in areas like Section numbering, isn't terrible. I published a book using Google Docs and basically decided anything it couldn't do I didn't need or could handle manually. But, if I were actually come up with a wish list for a low-end publishing platform it would probably look a bit different than Word.
If there are no clear rules, no, it's not legal (by definition, "law" is a set of clear rules).

If you decide that "no Chinese social network is allowed", you can create a law for that. But the TikTok ban is not like this.

Once a big enough Eternal September hits a platform I don't think that kind of revolution is possible anymore. The tyranny of the docile will ensure that a big enough majority will always stick around regardless of how the platform degrades.
I bought higher CRI LEDs from IKEA about 4 years ago when I moved into my apartment, they are all still working. But those LEDs are not sold anymore, hopefully the newer ones are as decent.
I've always kind of assumed buying more ads increases your search ranking. I wouldn't be surprised to find out if that's true at this point.
One way to make the dotfile editing feedback loop faster is to tell home manager to create a symlink as opposed to writing a new file every time.

That way you don’t have to do home-manager switch when a dot file changes.
Curious also that utilities are also choosing point-of-use batteries over infrastructure upgrades: https://archive.ph/OXLgE
While it is nice that it is possible to do this at all. The one thing that is missing is the incentive to buy and deploy hardware to run this stuff.
Yes, most also require confirming that you're allowed to make contributions. That's because most tech companies make you sign "everything you do on a clock is ours" documents, CLA here meant to protect from your employee claiming your contribution is actually weren't yours to make.
Definitely true. But unlike SSDs (ten years ago you'd get like 256GB, now it's more like 2TB) the ram curve is a lot more flat and it's fairly cheap to buy 32GB+ ram and imo that will future proof you for quite a while.
App can't collect MAC addresses with those permissions on Android though. It can only ask for the location.
KSA used Pegasus to spy on and murder an american journalist. They're also a major shareholder of twitter.
It's interesting too that if the lead character was male, all the background characters were also male. If female, background faces were female.

This really didn't stand out until I came across the Elvis pic. It seemed weird that he was surrounded by so many wannabes and not a single female. Sorta' like having Hugh Hefner selfie with a bunch of old dudes in the background.
Agree this is a UX problem. They need an option, "Pay minimum + X amount each month" so a user could set it to be $25 for their min + $50 to pay down a bit of the balance. This is actually the prescribed way most places recommend to repair or keep a high credit score. If you pay it entirely off you get dinged, if you just pay minimums you get dinged.
There are stronger adhesive strips, also try putting the strip farther up or down your nose so that it doesn't have to bend as far. I've had good success putting it right below the bone of the nasal passage.
I think if we admit that social media has any power or influence then we have to also admit that it can have negative ones.

To me, the defining difference between US company influence in the US is that they also have to live in whatever country they create for us (via their propaganda). Other countries companies don't, and in fact if they aren't our allies would actually be incentivized to do more harm than our own companies (assuming their influence is equal).

It seems to me that allyship is a meaningful pivot for these decisions, moreso than other concerns.
It's not speculation that the CyberTruck is made of stainless steel. Tesla has stated as much and we've seen as much. It's not speculation that the CyberTruck utilizes the gigacast manufacturing technique. Tesla has stated as much and Tesla has been advising its investors concerning the new gigacast presses they're using for the CyberTruck (the largest of its kind in the world). We know gigacast vehicles are difficult to repair. We know stainless steel is even more difficult to repair. This isn't speculation, these are simple facts. The article I linked isn't unrelated - it noted that insurers are raising premiums for these kinds of vehicles in the UK and other insurers are downright cancelling their policies. They're simply too expensive to repair and the problem is getting worse. In light of that, I don't see why Toyota would want to follow down that path.

You are erroneously assuming that the update was for reasons visible to end users like you.

I am sure that Hacker News commenters are a vast mine of "Well, one day we were updating to the new machine to finally get rid of the one with the knackered RAID controller …" type anecdotes illustrating not only the other reasons that upgrades happen but also what can occur when they are performed.
Wow that's awesome. Congrats. I'm approaching a launch myself and I'm very nervous. Super cool to see that you did it. Congrats once again and best of luck! I hope your product does really well.
I like R’s implementation in dplyr, which is pivot_longer and pivot_wider. I’d really like to see those in Postgres.
Search ads are valuable because when you search for "best laptop 2023", googles decision of what to show will have a big determining factor whether you buy an hp, a macbook or a thinkpad.

Companies are prepared to hand over literally hundreds of dollars to persuade Google to direct you to them rather than a competitor.

Whereas most people are fairly used to ignoring banner ads, and the vast majority of ads don't lead directly to a purchase, so they tend to be worth only a few cents at most.
Both parties agree because neither party can control the message of the platform.
How would you feel if China offered Americans $5 to vote for the candidate of their choice? Or paid people to speak on that candidates behalf without disclosing it as advertising? Or paid twitter to hide certain topics while promoting certain topics without classifying them as ads or promoted? Or if they were social media and just started lying to you about your social circle’s public opinion?
It's been really weird seeing all these warp drive and antigravity people crawling out of the woodwork in response to this result.

I have never heard of antimatter proposed for anything other than an energy source/storage. Not even in the oldest SciFi stories. Where did this idea even come from? It seems to have just appeared from nowhere as a way to feel bad about an otherwise inconsequential result.

Very strange
By this logic, Amazon would be an Indian company, Google and Meta also have many teams composed of mainly Chinese so they would be Chinese companies as well.
But that’s my entire point. Taking your example, the bulk of robotics companies aren’t all applied scientists (for that matter in spacex, nasa, etc.). You will have a very small cohort that does the r&d and the rest of the folks executing on that.

The r&d space is really interesting but very selective for obvious reasons. Just a PhD won’t get you in. You will need significant other contributions - eg the right publications in high impact journals, possibly internship with the companies themselves, the right advisor/PI that collaborates with the company, etc.
Thank you for the feedback,

@intrasight, my first job out of college in 2000 was for a small dot com owned entirely by a Jewish family in Texas. I was the only non Mandarin speaking software developer in the company. It's not all that uncommon in the tech industry regardless of ownership.
there are a lot of groups, and individuals, that attempt to cause chaos and disenchantment with sites that differ from thier worldview, even going as far as stalking individual users with malignant actions.
Ya their comment does not match up to my experience at all. When I update my lockfile it very rarely breaks and if it does I just roll back a commit and wait a day and it's usually fixed.

I don't think either of those is an example of vacuum suction. Gauge blocks are thought to work in a small part by vacuum, but mainly by other means. Glassware sticks together because of thermal expansion/contraction, combined with being quite smooth and very hard and inflexible.
This is the worst advice you could ever take. Always be true to yourself. Always be honest. Your potential client should be honored to have the founder and CEO of their new vendor and your undivided attention.
The coming linguistic and cognitive changes are going to be amazing to live through. We're being oppressed by talking Roombas. We study our oppressors; we adapt. They understand ape language better than we apes ourselves, they are better apes than apes, they are super-apes–but yet even still we find small gaps in their ape-imitiation, nuances, metaphors too subtle and too monkey for the metal machines. Voight-Kampff tests. Simian shibboleths. The dead monkey is covered in strawberry jam; the steel Roomba gazes unblinking, and all is quiet.

Yeah, through insurance. Walmart sells most consumer goods - food, but also clothing, medicine and toiletries, sporting goods (including guns, in some places). Lots of people use their pharmacies, so presumably they're able to look at correlated sales of drugs and food purchases.

The completion times seem generally lower than I expected. I wonder if there is a selection bias, as in most users who submitted stats are people are pretty good at games. Or maybe for classic games, it's recording replay times from people who have already beat it years ago, as opposed to first runs through the game.

(It's the first time I have heard of this site, so I looked up stats for the most recent game I completed, and it said I was 4 times slower than the median and only 3 minutes faster than the slowest time ever. This is true for most games I sampled so I am just bad at games.)
if he had directed it as "Think of the adults" would you feel differently? It seems silly to say that propaganda/news/information has no influence on people when we demonstrate that it does every single day of our lives.
Could it be them optimising their floorplan? Direction of the spiral is based on e.g. the largest possible entry or smallest obstruction(in terms of construction and visually for the rest of the room/castle?
You still didn't explain the risks too clearly.

Let's grant that TikTok is under direct CCP control, and specifically targets kids. Targets them for what? Mind control?
> Statements like that really make me question people's knowledge of basic history and international politics. Yes, a nation's major commercial actors often work in conjecture with their government

There's a difference between cooperating with the government - my country, Germany, is infamous for the close webs between government and its car companies - but there is no chain of command (other than a partial stake that Lower Saxony holds in VW) between the industry and politics. If anything, it's the other way around, companies pay a shitload in "party donations" to have the government represent its interest in the EU and abroad.

> And this argument is so tired that it even has its own Wikipedia page explaining that it is a logical fallacy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_of_the_children

A lot of TOTC is bullshit and usually pulled for the ulterior motive of (effectively) banning stuff for adults by imposing obscene obstacles (such as the planned EU chat control, or British anti-porn legislation). But here, it's aimed squarely at adolescents who use Tiktok as their most popular news source [1] - no matter what, that IS dangerous.

if i were to guess it probably has more to do with left hand side driving semantics which as i understand comes from a prevalence of right-handedness and a norm of posturing the right hand for weapon use.

so, maybe they just adopted the rules of the road, and the legends that come from it.
Even if there is written evidence, nearly all past written information is also difficult to verify, and writers in the past were not necessarily unbiased or above lying and distortion.

The advantage of the odds formulation is that you can compute posterior odds in your head, whereas computing the posterior probabilities via the standard form of the theorem (that you wrote down here) involves an unpleasant normalization factor.

E.g. for the example in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_rate_fallacy#Low-incidenc...:

prior odds of infection = 2 : 98
× likelihood ratio = 100 : 5
= posterior odds ≈ 200 : 500

and thus the probabilities (if you actually need them at this point) are ≈ (2/7, 5/7).

First off: SW is an outlier. The opportunity cost is a lot lower in most other STEM fields. And for a few, the net wealth is actually more with a PhD (see what jobs you can get with just a biology/chemistry undergrad, for example).

It is problematic to view it purely from the perspective of money. Consider the huge non-financial opportunity cost to not doing a PhD. If you get a PhD, you still have a chance of founding a business and becoming a multimillionaire. If you don't do a PhD, you'll almost certainly not get the benefits of the PhD ever.

I look at my friends who went straight to industry after their undergrad, and compare with myself and those who did a PhD, and there's a notable difference. If your advisor is not a slave driver[1], you'll have more time to introspect and be exposed to many perspectives/disciplines, at high concentration, than you have time for with a full time job. You can do it after work, but only if you opt not to have a life. It will takes perhaps 10 years of consuming all your non work time to perhaps match up 5 years of grad school. Pretty much no one goes this route.

Put another way: If your son discovered he had more earning potential if he never completed high school, would you say "Go for it!"?

> They really shouldn't be advertising false claims in the first place.

They aren't false advertising, they say "$X + tax and fees", this law is about removing the "and fees" bs where the seller is actually charging more than the advertised price but pretending it's a nebulous fee they didn't set.

I also think you may not be understand the degree of BS. My partner and I were recently buying a new car, and not one car dealership was advertising a true price for their cars. Multiple dealers had something that they literally stated was a "market price adjustment fee", that was not given until you were in the process of purchasing the car. These "fees" were 5-10 thousand dollars on a 30k car.

> That one has an easy solution: just ask for the destination.

So you would be ok if the first step in shopping online is giving the site your street address? you're saying that you could not price compare online without first providing your address to every company you were looking at.

I'm assuming you aren't in the US, so you aren't familiar with how its governance works. Every state, county, and incorporated city can have its own sales and service taxes. It doesn't matter if you think that's a questionable setup - the US constitution guarantees that right at at least the state level, and most states have similar laws guaranteeing some amount of that power to county and city governments, so it is literally impossible to remove this structure. So this issue is how do you make this law work, given the constraints of how the US government is constructed. "Solutions" that require any kind of unification of governance are almost certainly unconstitutional (again this separation of governance is a part of the US bill of rights).
Making general statements is superficial and empty. I live in a cold climate where wood and coal powered stoves are responsible for more than 90%+ of particulate pollution. The difference between warm and cold months is quite significant: around 20 µg/m³ daily average in the middle of summer vs 300-400 µg/m³ in the middle of winter. Maximum values are somewhere around 1000-1500 µg/m³, with short-term spikes up to more than 3000+ µg/m³ due to temperature inversions.
Stiglitz I mostly agree he is "popular". Krugman is free-market-if-only-but-we-need-regulation so not really as left as you portray. Piketty often gets headpats from liberal press when he stirs, but is otherwise not really given the time of day because no one seems to have the energy to contend with his tomes. I think you live in a bubble if you think Varoufakis and his ideas are well-known to the public.

We could also talk about Banerjee and Sachs, but again, both couch their analyses in metrics that pre-suppose the supremacy of, and justify, the ways "value" are considered and what constitutes "progress" in popular discourse.
REST API Requests in Go
search-driven analytics is not really a new thing and products in this space were before LLM-era. This kind of interface can be useful for some categories of users but it is not a game-changer - prompts cannot replace Excel and its pivot tables, and in fact typing prompts may be even more complicated for users than good old 'clicks'.
How would that lead to any money printing? Labourers cannot print any money.
Yep, and as someone on the receiving end, one can choose to defect as a bargaining tactic.
I'm not sure I understand the comments on here about autopaying the full balance leaving interest on the table. AFAIK, all my autopay options pay pretty close to the due date. I'm pretty sure if I tried to time it closer on my own I'd have some late payments which would be far more than the fraction of a percent interest I might incrementally earn. Even with higher interest rates, micro-optimization doesn't make sense for most people.
I misunderstood assert as part of the protocol, i.e. the latter.
I'm curious: who invented gap buffers originally? Do we know if it was RMS? What was the first peer-reviewed publication describing or mentioning them?

A quick search brings up only references in the 1990s or later...
Yes, I have. What Excel is still lacking is an easy solution for the input side. You can bind tons of data sources, but all are weird, hard-to-use, manual. There is no easy "grab this from that website, get the current data of what I just pasted there, mash it together, publish it"

Hell, it cannot even do proper CSV import. You need to reformat your CSV to match the locale Excel is running under!

True, but that's also the case for the Quest as well. If the majority of these apps are being written and ported with cross-platform 3D engines, you could probably have a similar experience on both headsets. Even the first-gen Quest supports hand-tracking, web browsing and Bluetooth peripherals.
