The courts can look at the effect of the ban, not just the intention. If the effect is that it ends up limiting Americans' access to information (which it would, unless ByteDance gave in and sold) then a court could find it unconstitutional.

IANAL, but this is my understanding.

Same holds true of your 2nd example, if it required Americans to turn in all the books they owned printed on that paper, for example.

covid is like bumping your head: Either a minor bump or brain bleeding that can occur after 3 - 5 days of a lucid period.

If long COVID didnt make getting COVID like Russian roulette for long term disability it would be "like the flu".
That is some electric age magic and is really neat.

Yeah, I misspelled it. Arminianism named for Arminius. Yes, Catholics and Orthodox also fall into that category. It has nothing to do with any ethnic or geographic group.
I can't say I care much about show props in general, but I'm happier with this outcome rather than it just going to some rich collector and never seeing the light of day again.
I know ISDN was used for this kind of thing for a good while.
You might be right, but...

If TikTok is a national sovereignty issue for the US, should a lot of other countries similarly be banning US tech companies?

(Since even GDPR only scratches the surface of the power they're handing over.)
I wouldn't write that off if a certain candidate wins in 2025 to be honest. It's not like they haven't laid hints that such things are on the options list.

They will call Washington's bluff because the Chinese Government will tell them to do so. It will not be out of a sense of protecting free speech or desire for the public good - quite the opposite. People seem to forget how Jack Ma virtually disappeared when he bucked the party's orders. Almost half of their users are from of the US. Surely a decentralized version of TikTok can be made to replace them.

That’s a bit of a slippery slope though and causes maintinence nightmares for mature projects. Let’s say I want to upgrade to a new more secure TLS protocol. If it’s bundled to the language version that may mean changing the entire concurrency model, or something equally burdensome on a million line code base.
There are so many natural cancers that the noise floor is still very large. Also, not all the cancers will have occurred yet.

Since we only view this at the population level, there is a big question: Is "character building" improving those who need it to be stronger, or just filtering them out of society?
There's also a social element here : communities around software matter, and I for one (being a EU developer, for reasons of professional ethics) cannot justify any more associating myself with the kind of developer that still thinks it's acceptable to use Github (especially for something as fundamental as Nix(OS) - and I'm pretty sad about Rust too) (at this point developers had enough time to migrate even the most complicated projects off of it).
But there are reasons for municipalities to do that. Namely infrastructure. The city next to mine allowed uncontrolled building of housing and that city is a shitshow right now. The roads are clogged and often gridlocked. They deal with all kinds of failure modes in their utilities due to high usage. No.

My town is being more strategic about it. They allowed businesses to come in first and expanded out the robustness of the local coop's electric grid and only then did they allow appartments and they are doing them in stages to make sure the area can handle it. This is important in an area where not everyone is even hooked up to the city's water supply or has access to city sewage.
have you considered not buying apple products?
It would, if YouTube would be controlled by the US government to divide and polarize the Chinese population to fuel social unrest and political instability.
Tiktok isn't "some website", it is partially owned and controlled by the CCP, which influences what content gets shown to Americans. A majority of zoomers get most of their news and information primarily from this platform, which again is under the influence of a hostile foreign government. (TikTok also spies on US citizens for the CCP, but let's keep this restricted to the free speech argument about the ban).

We actually don't have to shrug and say "oh well, first amendment" with respect to propaganda outlets of foreign countries.
I agree with the EFF. I have even less confidence in US companies/agencies handling my data based on their well-known history exposed by multiple whistleblowers. We need to follow the EU in this matter. They are miles ahead of us
No, because it is still x86-64, it just bypasses the bootstrapping process that exists right now going from 16 bit to 32 bit to 64 bit by starting the CPU in 64 bit mode.

However 32 bit registers and everything will continue to exist, and it will act like todays CPU's that went through the multiple bootstrap rounds to get into 64 bit mode.
How does it compare to portkey which is backed by YC too?

Against COVID, you would probably get more bang for your buck by protecting the eyes with goggles or by choosing an elastomeric full-face respirator. Anything that lands in the eye ends up in a lacrimal duct, and then in a nasal passage.

China already does for reasons similar to those that are in this bill.
So it’s the “all articles have shitty titles” argument again?

No, I call bullshit. The conclusion is that there were “no effects” not minimal effects. Dead people are > 0. An unsupported conclusion would cost you a letter grade on a college paper. This isn’t college. It’s a study that will affect public policy for many decades.

From just last week:

> The Center for Immigration Studies found last year from January 2023 to December 2023, at least 320,000 illegal immigrants were allowed to fly into the U.S. from their home country through a controversial program of the Biden administration using the Customs and Border Patrol app, the CBP One app that was created to let migrants apply for parole into the US.

> The Parole program allows for two-year periods of legal status during which adults are eligible for work authorization.

It's not a push. It's a pull.

Americans are ejecting to get this information. You have to download software, optionally allow it to send you notifications, the purposefully open and interact with it.

It's rational consumption. Simple as.

Edit: I now realize what /s means.
As someone who has actually used douyin (about one or two years ago) I can say for certain that that isn't true in the general case. Perhaps the rules are a bit stricter but I saw absolutely zero educational content at all in any form. I did see some military videos which seemed like propaganda as they showed up randomly but its hard to say if those only showed up because I watched the first one to its end for example. The only possibility is that they only enable the education mode if you are actually located in China or if you sign in as a child or something. But it didn't seem to be the default experience from what I saw first hand. It shows you want you want to see.

Once again, laws effect companies all the time.

This isn't new or an out there thing.

Some companies leave because they don't want to pay high taxes, or for numerous other reasons.

All tiktok has to do is follow the law and they won't be banned.

But if they don't, well that's their decision as well.

Arguably, any 32-bit binaries that still need to be supported are old now, and a pure 64-bit environment could afford to run them in emulation/JIT translation/whatever without noticeable performance issues.
It's one of these frustrating things where I already feel like I add "in my view" and "in my opinion" and "I think" and "I feel like" to too many of my sentences, but then inevitably someone will read a statement of opinion as an attempt to state as fact something that is central to the dispute at hand. I've never been sure how to square this circle.
Really cool! I guess that there's little differences other than noisysockets is explicitly WireGuard compatible (but I actually prefer Nebulas tweaks to the wire protocol).

I actually had some folks from OpenZiti reach out and they have another similar tool in this space.
DevOps Is a Collaboration Problem
According to this, we're all thinking about DevOps wrong. DevOps isn't a "role" per-se, but a philosophy of collaboration; it’s about enabling software to be crafted with speed and reliability.

Pretty cool read, and the breakdown of how to bring about that collaboration is a good read.

I tried to keep my description vague and not specific to China. I agree that it's relevant whether China is or is not an adversary, and that China is the obvious proximate target of this legislation.

Is your point to say that you specifically don't believe China is an adversary, thus the bill is off the mark? I could read your item as saying either that, or this: in order to promote better relations between adversarial nations, bills restricting the ability of one nation to operate in another are indefensible. In other words, to make sure China is not an adversary, TikTok should not be banned.
GemMoE: An 8x8 Mixture Of Experts based on Gemma
Most users who struggle with this don't know that vim has modes, and often have found themselves forced into vim accidentally, e.g. having automatically launched vim by running "git commit."

In order to quit vim, you have to understand the difference between normal mode and insert mode, and you have to understand the difference between :q and :q!.

If you :q when you wanted to :q!, you're going to get this useless error message:

E37: No write since last change (add ! to override)

But if you don't know about :q!, "(add ! to override)" means nothing. Override what? How do I "add !"??

And since you're a total novice, it's likely that you don't even know that you haven't saved your changes to disk yet, so it's not clear to you that "No write since last change" is calling you to :w before :q.

And if you try to explain all that, the user gets pouty. "I just want to quit vim! Why do I have to learn all of this stuff just to stop using it?!?"
Is international influence something that should be stopped? Like, I should check the citizenship of someone before I listen to their ideas? It just doesn't make sense to me. If someone tells me nonsense I can ignore the nonsense. It doesn't mean the government should smash their printing press.

It's annoying when people in other countries rile up people to change how they vote, but ultimately, that's a problem with democracy. It's the worst system out there, except for all the others. People not understanding their government is the deeper problem. Does banning TikTok fix this problem? It sounds like we're saying "only opinion columnists who work for The New York Times and Fox News should be able to tell you how to vote and what issues you care about". That's really not great either, is it?

It's really depressing watching the government strip away the rights of women and transgender people. We can't blame social media influence bots for that. It's elected officials that are doing it. TikTok is just a distraction from the true hardcore hatred that we've elected.

My biggest gripe with bitwarden is you can't enforce a basic idle lock timer on end users. Each user has the option to have their vault access auto lock, but there's no way to set and require that setting for users, and it isn't turned on by default.

The point is that even with reasonable precautions, it is (and was) possible for the man in the iron lung to be exposed to COVID.

The actual precautions necessary to protect him from any exposure at all would have been significantly more stringent than what people tend to believe are reasonable, as GPs anecdote demonstrates.

Well, things were simpler back then, but for the ww2 manuals in particular, I wonder if it wasn't also that the manuals were written for rapid comprehension because it was quite likely that the reader was someone who just took things over in the field after the expert had been killed.
This maps almost 1:1 onto my experience, except for the fact that my father achieved some measure of success having never gone into business.

I almost didn't graduate high school and made a mess of my time at university, dropping out entirely my senior year (drugs and alcohol fueled by deep self-loathing made this an easy choice at the time).

Like you, I wish my dad had realized what he was doing in raising his children the way he did. His circumstances were deeply cruel. My relationship with him now continues to be marred by my understanding that he doled out the same punishment to his children and justified it by telling himself he was making us tougher.

In the end, it also took me nearly a decade to reach some level of parity with my peers. If that resilience is what got me here, then fair enough. But the juice wasn't worth the squeeze.
I'm still confused why they keep making the language specific apps, or why people use them (instead of Idea Ultimate) for that matter.
Using Nix as a package manager works best with a repository called "Nixpkgs".

Nixpkgs focuses on reproducible builds, that means that for the same inputs, you always are going to get the same binary output.

All of Nixpkgs are built using nixpkgs, and they don't depend on any library outside nixpkgs, including glibc and compilers.

That means that you can "lock" your packages into a version, and you ensure that it will run the exact same version and configuration in all machines that you install it, no matter the underlying OS or how old/new it is, glibc problems etc...

This is the power of Nix.

All of this can be done via a simple

Flake.nix -> define the system
Flake.lock -> automatically generated, defines the exact version of nixpkgs among others.

(Can also be done via channels but flakes are better imo)
You're correct but women weren't allowed to vote on the canton level in some cantons until 1990. That's almost as bad:

Well we recently upgraded to a new build, selling off our 50 year old house. We had to relocated to a different area, because the only houses in our area were...50 year old houses. And swapping from one 50 year old house to another one didn't make a lot of sense to us.

Mind, we had done remodeling, new kitchen, new baths, new roof, new windows, new HVAC, insulation, "more sound proof" dry wall, structural engineering changes (original owners underspec'd a new addition, and we had to get that fixed), relined the sewer. The two last things on our list were redoing the electrical panel, and landscaping.

So, it had some modern elements, but at its core it was a 50 year old house.

When we had the work done, the contractor mentioned how the house was well built. "Good bones" as he said.

Our new house is VASTLY more efficient. The foundation is 50-100% thicker than our old house (which had other issues). We have that lined plywood in the attic (one side has some material for efficiency), lots more insulation. The only "exotic" thing in there, IMHO, is the plumbing, as its the clear plastic tubing style plumbing (there's a trade name for it that escapes me), vs copper. No idea how long that will last, our old house was already re-piped with copper when we bought it (can you say "slab leak"?). But I'm assuming that the new plumbing is not simply cheaper (copper, oh my) but actually "better" for more values of "better" than not.

I saw the house go up, I got to learn house geek stuff, and this is a solid house. We already have stucco cracks, which is not surprising -- I've had 4 felt quakes so far this year, and it's only March. 3+, one was at least 4. Been rocking and rolling for some reason this year, this activity is unusual, and, hopefully, not foretelling. But the house is solid. California has codes for a reason. We use stick framing for a reason, particularly in Southern California.

I wish we didn't have to leave the area we were in, but this house is so far so good and appears very well built, more so than our older house was.
The TikTok ban issue dates back to at least 2020.

I vividly recall because I owned a ton of Fastly stock which cratered when the former administration was trying to ban TikTok, leading ByteDance to move away from Fastly as their CDN.

This isn't really a technical manual, though, like the one that may come with a dishwasher or something.

This is more like a training manual meant to help a person with no prior knowledge become proficient in some topic. You should compare it to a textbook or online classes.
I doubt that this will go in ByteDance's favor. This is actually an extremely serious national security issue.

Given that TikTok acquired Musical.ly, they fall under the purview of CFIUS, an executive branch agency. This legislation is welcome, but not actually necessary since there's already a Constitutionally-tested process for banning foreign companies. If the executive and legislative are in agreement... well, TikTok is not going to be able to ignore that.

Foreigners enjoy 1A protections _inside_ the US, but foreign-owned companies are not always entitled to the same protections for exactly these national security reasons.
> American version is basically all ages softcore porn and ragebait.

My own experience, as well as my partner's, disputes this. My content is generally creators in the neurodivergant, LGTBQIA+, power generation for Alaska towns, wildlife rescues, D&D, cosplay, and news.

Only the last can occasionally contain ragebait, but it's generally not. Most of the things that make me angry are those like Nex Benedict's death, the death toll in Gaza strip, women being treated poorly by doctors, etc. Actual issues brought up in real time, not manufactured outrage.

My partner's content is generally "customer states", cats, dogs, ferrets, and couples sharing the amusing parts of their lives.

A data sample of only two, to be sure, but the absence of softcore porn and ragebait entirely makes 60 minutes' claims suspect.
An accusation of such would have as much merit as the accusations that China is dictating the tone of conversation on TikTok.

To be fair, most of the world (and not only most of Americans) want both sides to lose. Israel is just an invader nation that used power and money to take ownership of land that belonged to another group of people, less than 80 years ago. And now, 3 generations later, the former owners of this land have so much anger and resentment towards the acts of violence and tyranny they suffered on the hands of those invaders, that they themselves became a group of despicable psychopaths. Gen Z simply has new avenues to get informed and to form their own opinion than the legacy media of the 20th century, and now it's hard to impose a narrative that dismisses how much blame does Israel deserves on this subject.
