What? The section "Cancer increases" from your Wikipedia link is pretty clear:

> Almost all cases of leukemia over the following 50 years were in people exposed to more than 1Gy.

> the RERF estimates that, from 1950 to 2000, 46 percent of leukemia deaths [...] were likely due to radiation from the bombs or some other post-attack city effects
Asking this question on a platform pretty much aligned with Sam Altman and expecting real nuanced answer is unrealistic.

Remember they shut down the thread regarding Sam Altman's sister alleging she was molested by him.

Its just incredibly sad to see how society is quick to overlook one's transgressions if it stands to benefit from that individual. Artists, CEOs, politicians, celebrities.

Just one sick world and this blatant disregard for "non-profit" because bunch of men feel they were chosen.

> What’s being described isn’t an eye for an eye, but tit for tat.

Those are exact synonyms.

> And tit for tat is the norm for international relations

It’s commonly been a norm (not the norm), and its a norm that usually produces escalatory spirals, because actors tend to be more sensitive to harms to themselves from others policies and less sensitive those from other’s policy.
No nothing about personal perception. It is completely normal and common that someone profits off me while I myself am also happy with the situation. It is called a trade. Every interaction that's not a zero-sum game is two people profiting of each other and being (usually) fine with it.
I mean, I have no idea what he would say or how he would truly feel about that happening.

But the philosophy he is espousing here is not incompatible with that. If he truly and successfully adheres to it (a big if!), the right response would be to feel that he had no expectation that the government would never step in to split up his company, and instead feel only appreciation that he was able to build and run it in the form he wanted, and to enjoy its profits, for as long as he did.

It's a very hard philosophy to actually adhere to! It's pretty natural for humans to feel entitled to the good things they already have, even when they know they shouldn't.
That is a fair critique of my current thinking :)

I’ll certainly agree that the ‘red scare’ vibe to this bill makes me uncomfortable — even if I agree with the action overall.

I certainly am biased towards companies that operate in a way that I’m familiar with. In the companies I’ve worked in delivering value to shareholders trumps all else at the end of the day. (I don’t love it but it’s predictable)

As you allude to that causes some quite nefarious behavior, but it’s predictable to me for the most part.

To me, this is in contrast with what I see happening in the Chinese market. Again, this is colored by my experience. From the outside looking in it appears that companies based in China bend much further to appease their government than in the markets I’ve worked in (US, UK and Japan) and that makes me less inclined to trust them.
The most important aspect of science is to account for the possibility of being wrong.

Why should they? Because better safe, than sorry.

TikTok also claimed the data couldn’t be viewed in China and then it got exposed that the data was being viewed in China by bytedance.

Sooooooo no it doesn’t follow the same laws an its singaporean ceos claim of no links to China are his word only.
I think that this a fair take, especially about the possible power structure.
this is not even a fair comparison. mozilla isn't using all of our data to build a product that will be metered
Homelessness in San Francisco doesn't kill you from the elements in January or July. A homeless person in Minneapolis or Chicago in January may die from the elements on an excessively cold night. A homeless person in Arizona in July can also die from it being too hot.

It's rarely ever too hot or too cold in costal California cities.

This completely ignores propaganda concerns. Having a prominent media platform under the control of a hostile government is a serious threat. If Nazi Germany or the USSR had gotten control of a large media conglomerate you'd expect a reaction.

Divesting Tiktok from China isn't a ban, and it's disingenuous to frame it as such while also ignoring the major problem with such control.
The market should take care of that.
An easy way to differentiate your company compared to Audi.

I actually bought a second hand base model Kia, swapped some parts to enable auto head lights and cruise control (changed the steering wheel to the one with buttons for cruise control).

Swapped the shitty mp3-stereo-radio shit unit with Aliexpress Android 4gb 2Din with specially made Kia-fitting front panel and parking HD camera. And added usb port mounted tire pressure monitoring system. Now I have almost all the features of the higher trim, except folding mirrors (this would be expensive to find and retrofit because new wire harness will be needed). Total cost ~1000 EUR (mostly for the android and some wiring work).

Yep. Exactly.

And breaking free of the walled Kindle/Nook garden is similarly out of reach for about the same number of people that don't care about Apple's walled garden, which is the majority.

Again, they literally exist in every corner of our lives, and the 99% of consumers/normies don't care.

> Feedback is given constantly (up and down.).

If you don't make time for things they rarely happen unless the people are particularly fired up about them. I don't even know who my current manager is to even reach out to. My coworkers don't unit test until reminded on the PR. I honestly forget to smoke-test until called out on it. So unless your culture is about feedback and everyone truly embodies that and is on board, it's not gonna happen.

I was trying to ironically reply to the poster, I guess I need to add more /s to my comments.
> Banning TikTok is not impinging on free speech. People are still free to say whatever they want on so many (unrestricted) platforms.

Yes, it does impinge free speech. It's not about being able to say things, it's about freedom to hear speech. The first amendment and freedom of speech also covers that, and there is speech on Tik Tok that is not available elsewhere.
Two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner is democracy, illustrating a common failure mode of the worst form of government except for all of the others.
LOL. So people who have been living in an area should have no say but people from planning to move must have a say.

> This will probably never happen in the U.S

Thank god for that.

Maybe checkout in other countries like Canada, UK, France, Germany or even eastern europe, further in Asia on how they are doing on housing front. For sure they couldn't be having housing policies as bad as US.
Or look into building with earth, as used to be the practice: https://www.calearth.org/ and https://www.rael-sanfratello.com/made/mud-frontiers
The market is not deciding when municipalities are legally prohibiting denser, lower-cost housing from being built.

To use your example, it's as if we were to restrict car production to mostly only Ferraris. And then if someone can't afford a Ferrari, we tell them to buy a Honda - but there aren't many of them to buy.
It looks like it has now been switched to just have the number. I wonder if there was just some auto-formatting error.
Sorry to be this guy, but why is Nix better than a docker dev container?
Tit for tat makes sense in a situation where you expect to work out a deal, both sides agree to stop, and everyone is better off. E.g. allowing visa-free travel in both directions between A and B.

But for the Chinese government, social control is an existential issue, not something that can be negotiated away in a trade deal. They're always going to "tit", because allowing people to freely express themselves on the internet could end their rule overnight.

So the "tat" cannot be used as a bargaining chip, but needs to be weighed on its own merits. Does the US benefit from the ability to arbitrarily declare companies to be "foreign adversaries" and shut them down or force their owners to divest? Mightn't TikTok decide to relocate their US headquarters to Europe instead? And shouldn't Chinese founders in the US see the writing on the wall and contemplate a similar move? Is that good or bad for the US?
I have read everything you've given me. If you really believe in what you're selling then I am absolutely the person to convince because if you can convince me you can convince anyone. All you have done is post links to the same two articles which multiple people have told you don't answer the question they've asked, and your only response is to accuse me of not engaging. C'mon, this is ridiculous. You have several people with their undivided attention and you aren't threading the needle.
I don't think we should "lowest common denominator" to oppressive regimes. Our Constitution says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." TikTok, at the end of the day, is just a kind of printing press. So it should be allowed under the First Amendment. The First Amendment protects pledging your allegiance to the Flag, just as it protects China saying "China is great, you should love us instead". The First Amendment makes no attempt to moderate content; you can say pretty much whatever you want. If China's use of TikTok for propaganda upsets you, then it's on you to make a compelling argument that is better than theirs. (I actually don't think that TikTok is much of a Chinese propaganda avenue. People are just mad that it's telling kids to eat tide pods and then they get sick. Who knew that underfunding public education for years would have consequences.)

At the end of the day, what this law is asking for is a Great Firewall around the US, that prohibits which websites its citizens can visit. I do not want that, even if China's market practices are unfair. The cure is worse than the disease.

While there have been plenty of programming games, the idea of a bot-only MMO would be really interesting. Far more interesting than actually playing the typical post-WoW MMORPG.

Like, Runescape was already distilled into a surprisingly good idle game in Melvor Idle. You could take a slightly different path where the "idling" is instead a matter of programming and resource allocation.
It’s not worse for you personally. The US government can request and use warrants for information collected by all of those entities.

The US cannot request information on Chinese citizens in China because US companies are restricted from operating in China. They don’t have any significant data.

On the other hand China now has a very valuable and large presence in tiktok here in the US and can access any collected information it wants on Chinese citizens in the US and any other user. I imagine it doesn’t take a warrant either but I’m unfamiliar with their protocols.

So it’s likely not worse for you personally, especially if you’re a typical American who is unsupportive of their government and its foreign policy.
By September 2020, 2313 disaster-related deaths among evacuees from Fukushima prefecture, that were not due to radiation-induced damage or to the earthquake or to the tsunami, had been identified by the Japanese authorities. About 90% of deaths were for persons above 66 years of age. Of these, about 30% occurred within the first three months of the evacuations, and about 80% within two years.

The premature disaster-related deaths were mainly related to (i) physical and mental illness brought about by having to reside in shelters and the trauma of being forced to move from care settings and homes; and (ii) delays in obtaining needed medical support because of the enormous destruction caused by the earthquake and tsunami.

However, the radiation levels in most of the evacuated areas were not greater than the natural radiation levels in high background areas elsewhere in the world where no adverse health effect is evident.

The post I responded to was asking why Nintendo (and similar) shouldn't face the same regulation. Despite you point being mostly off topic I'll humour you.

Since what's possible or impossible is the only options you've given me, Is it "impossible" for your mom to just do all her banking in person or over the phone? The phone works perfectly fine.

See how that sounds?

Anyways, having a central gatekeeper to all those essential services is not optimal from an economic or technical perspective. (Again, notice I said "not optimal" even though you created the false alternative of "not impossible").

Your concerns about malware are valid. Or at least as much as they are valid on MacOS. Which is to say - somewhat, but not enough in the balance of things.

I usually use "democracy" to describe a situation where there are regular transfers of power through reason, persuasion, and cooperation and not through violence or the threat of violence. I'm not sure that it applies to this case about your neighbor, unless you are stopping them through a threat of violence, in which case it is certainly undemocratic.
How Yemen's Houthi rebels are carrying out attacks on Red Sea ships
This is a completely irrational argument, rooted solely in xenophobic appeals, that can be trivially dismissed by inverting the premise: Do Chinese citizens have more to fear from state control and monitoring of domestic social media services or those owned by companies outside China?
I disagree but I understand where you're coming from. There's an aspect of being an idealist vs being a realist in the final result. Perhaps some sort of balanced strategy is the way to go. Just definitely don't give leeway for governments to do shitty things (to their people and others) just because others are doing it.
Thinking of this as startup founder...

> “People with very high expectations have very low resilience—and unfortunately, resilience matters in success,” Huang said during a recent interview with the Stanford Graduate School of Business. “One of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations.”

People with family money need much-much less resilience than those without family money.

Compare... serial founder who always has not only ready-made seed investment (plus all the connections that come from parents helping line up your ducks to go to a rich-kids school) to fail repeatedly with a safety net and do-over each time...

... with the scrappy kid who's barely clawed their way into those echelons, has put everything into their startup push, and if it fails, they might be out homeless on the street. (See the moral at end of "Gattaca".)

One of these things is not like the other, in terms of need for resilience.

(Granted, a rare person might get far enough that being a hardened fighter a la (to choose one kind) Sam Altman might be a quality that then makes stratospheric success possible. But AFAICT you haven't needed that to be successful enough with VC growth startups: you just need to have money flowing through you repeatedly until some desired condition is achieved, hopefully without all the stress costs of grueling, existential adversity.)
Keep in mind that you need at least the jetson board and the carrier board to make it work. The official nvidia devkit device with both boards is actually way more expensive that this (amazon lists it at $1,999).

The jetson itself is pretty cool though, and nvidia has a bunch of tutorials / cool demos of running LLMs on it, e.g.: https://www.jetson-ai-lab.com/tutorial_live-llava.html
All righty then, at exajoule per million square kilometers, China's still way ahead burning coal at 8.572 versus Germany at 5.146.

Canada burned only half an exajoule of coal in 2020 per my source quoted above. That's, uh, .013 exajoule per million residents, far below China or Germany, or .05 exajoule per million square kilometers, again far below China or Germany. So yeah, Canada doesn't pollute with coal that badly. Good job Canada.

I still don't even know what "those actual consumers who produce it" is supposed to mean. Like, people who work at coal plants? Are you sentient?

ahh yeah, and soundproof the doors and if may be the floor of the vehicle. It'll cost may be 400EUR, but it's "much" more quiet than even the higher trims.

So there is a way to "upgrade" it. Buy something 3-5 yr. old and fish for second-hand parts on rrr.lt and trim it yourself.
It's not useful though. I actually think it's very cool that TikTok got a bunch of young people to contact their representatives. If this ban goes through, the political blowback is going to be extreme. It will be like the Streisand effect x100,000,000.
I'm still waiting on one of my investment banker friends to drop me the link to whatever high powered Excel bootcamp they got pushed through in their first week to acquire their supernatural fluency with the thing.

My impression is that you don't need eminent domain takings for this, you just need higher level government (e.g., states) to set more rules around how restrictive local residential zoning is allowed to be.
Spying and data collection isn't remotely the main concern. The main concern is control over how Americans consume information.

See e.g. https://networkcontagion.us/wp-content/uploads/A-Tik-Tok-ing...

"The conclusions of our research are clear: Whether content is promoted or muted onTikTok
appears to depend on whether it is aligned or opposed to the interests of the Chinese
Government. As the summary data graph below illustrates, the percentages of TikTok posts out
of Instagram posts are consistently range-bound for general political and pop-culture topics, but
completely out-of-bounds for topics sensitive to the Chinese Government."

It's not even theoretical. This is happening now.
I like it because it was useful to me in quitting a well-paying job and venturing out on my own. Which was terrifying! Especially when, two weeks after I quit, a competitor announced they were giving away the feature I built my business around for free. It's been a wild ride.

70+% of revenue for subscription apps comes from the Apple side, at least in western markets.
The other reality is that if you expect nothing, you will get nothing. If you expect low salary, you will get low salary no matter how hard you work or what skills you have.

Working hard on itself does not bring rewards. Asking for what you want and negotiating brings rewards.
Digital data, if considered in some Platonic sense, doesn't degrade. However, the physical substrate required to store said data does absolutely degrade over time: hence the need to copy data to new media periodically. 'Tain't no way to get around the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

As an example, do you think a US citizen personal data is as secure from requests from the CCP in e.g. Facebook as it is in Tiktok? That TikTok executives are as liable to US laws and prosecution as Facebook execs?
I can do those two things (mostly) but the slightly tricky bit is when the form requirements change e.g. you need to suddenly provide a new form because the guy in charge said so. I'm guessing the software handles that for you.
$100k might as well be $100m to 99% of homeless people. Do you think they’re going to qualify for a loan at a non-usurious rate?

In case, if the market value drops, well, rich people will just buy them.

If you’re currently in a “$300k” home and can buy a “$400k” home for $100k… like how do any of these numbers make any sort of sense?
