Depends. If you model this as a reputation game, depending on who is the sane and who is the crazy sender, the PBE might might be a pooling equilibrium(i.e makes sense to build the reputation of being a predatory firm).
YouTube Shorts is not really a replacement product for TikTok. They inherently have a different content creation and discovery model. Reels is much closer to TikTok.
I get the impression it's less about constructive criticism and more about hating America by the scenes of young protestors in America burning the flag of the United States. Both the left and the right should be mindful of not becoming traitors giving comfort to enemies that would like to destroy our goverment and make America their colony.
It's also, according to the article, the "first true high-speed rail" in the U.S., so presumably there are fewer existing efficiencies to make use of.

Not at scale. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not hysterical about it, but to me it seems indisputable that media companies (and this covers TV companies, newspaper companies when you go back far enough) have the ability to alter how a significant section of the population feel about a topic. A single person with an internet connection does not have the same power.
Unless they're somehow 110 times better than everyone else, this indicates some powerful nepotism.

People's positions on the bill are the one thing that is known. The problem is that it allows politicians to avoid accountability on the individual issues within that bill. A vote on this doesn't tell you directly whether a politician supports banning TikTok. It doesn't tell you whether they support aid to Ukraine. It doesn't tell you whether they support aid to Israel. It doesn't tell you whether they support aid to Taiwan. It just tells you whether they support this specific bill.

What makes you think people want easy? /s I mean, clearly that would be best for creativity, for cultural robustness, for accessibility. Unfortunately, there are a lot of incumbents in all the spaces Flash touched who were ecstatic (if in a schadenfreude-esque sense) to see the ladder pulled up after them. When you make it difficult or impossible for the peons to create, you make it difficult or impossible for them to bypass the professionals and the gatekeepers; when they can't tell their stories, their stories get told for them. Again, the professionals and the gatekeepers (and, now, the propagandists) find this ideal.

Suffice it to say, there are a lot of people who worked very hard to make sure that the 1998-2012ish period of openness and open-access and democratization was an anomaly. You got to see a mini-echo of this with the rollout and rollback of pandemic-era accessibility.

The short answer is that they are paid to hype it. They launched at CES (paid) with a splashy video (paid). They got lots of media coverage (paid and paid in kind by bringing in ad revenue).

There were many articles written on the impact of the 2021 Advance Child Tax Credit (up to $1,800 per child over a 6 month period). The impact was very significant on lower-income families - which makes sense because for those earning less than $40,000 per year, that amount is more than the amount in one's paystub.

The concept (if I understand it correctly) is that it can remote-control (or maybe rather local-control) your apps. An app couldn’t do that at least on iOS, it would have to be integrated into the OS.
Similar story from me, I was digging around in the code of this game that I had been playing since I wanted to make mods for it. At one point I found the internal IDs for different outfits you can put on your characters which was relevant to what I was making, so I grepped for those IDs since they were one of the few strings that weren't jumbled by code obfuscation. Stumbled upon the code that checks if you own the DLC outfits and found out you could basically just swap the check for a return(true). You could even use them online... Hardly any protection at all but it hadn't been cracked simply because nobody else looked that closely.

Actually, 5 out of 8 of the services I linked have shorter URLs than yours in my testing.

There's no evidence yours is reliable or more reliable than the others, and to be brutally honest your UI isn't really as nice either.
That point is the starting point.

There is plenty of real information: that's what the model is trained on. That information ceases to be real the moment it is used by a model to fill in the gaps of other real information. The result of this model is a facade, not real data.
Unequivocally yes. The legislature of the United States government can pass a bill to ban your business.

This is also overwhelmingly likely to go unchallenged by the court system due to the provision being passed with overwhelming bipartisan support.
> A vote on this doesn't tell you directly whether a politician supports banning TikTok. It doesn't tell you whether they support aid to Ukraine. It doesn't tell you whether they support aid to Israel. It doesn't tell you whether they support aid to Taiwan.

In the House, these bills were individually voted on. (In TikTok's case, twice.) In the Senate, pretty much everyone has made their views known on at least Ukraine, Israel and TikTok. (Taiwan hasn't been particularly contentious.)
I mean.. are you really not aware that the US and China have an adversarial relationship? Both countries embedding spies, industrial espionage, trade wars, soft power projection, etc etc. Power is a zero-sum game.
I think it matters whether it really is a ban or just called a ban, because the whole First Amendment argument hinges on this question.

If TikTok was banned in the sense that it had to shut down then the First Amendment argument could work. But if it's just a forced sale then it has no bearing on the freedom of speech of TokTok users.
> and of those vendors, it seems like Nvidia is the only one that shipped anything truly usable. Medium-sized LLMs, Stable Diffusion and probably even stuff like OAI Whisper is faster run on Apple's GPUs than their AI coprocessor.

Be careful not to have NVIDIA-shaped tunnel vision. Performance isn't the whole story. It's very telling that approximately everybody making SoCs for battery powered devices (phones, tablets, laptops) has implemented an AI coprocessor that's separate from the GPU. NVIDIA may take exception, but the industry consensus is that GPUs aren't always the right solution to every AI/ML-related problem.
I had heard similar histories, and this case is totally believable IMAO

Of course sellers can have their own reasons to sell you this and not that.

The maker tells their dealers how much cars of each model they must sell to keep the relationship as official dealer. If the seller is reluctant to sell a particular model you can expect that this model has not been assigned a high priority in the list of X cars that must be sold yearly to fill the objectives.
I would say that it was one of the most successful attempts at nation-scale socialism, but ultimately still a failed experiment. As you said yourself the people themselves democratically voted for capitalism.

> Julius Nyerere's leadership of Tanzania commanded international attention and attracted worldwide respect for his consistent emphasis upon ethical principles as the basis of practical policies. Tanzania under Nyerere made great strides in vital areas of social development: infant mortality was reduced from 138 per 1000 live births in 1965 to 110 in 1985; life expectancy at birth rose from 37 in 1960 to 52 in 1984; primary school enrollment was raised from 25% of age group (only 16% of females) in 1960 to 72% (85% of females) in 1985 (despite the rapidly increasing population); the adult literacy rate rose from 17% in 1960 to 63% by 1975 (much higher than in other African countries) and continued to rise.[4] However, Ujamaa decreased production, casting doubt on the project's ability to offer economic growth.

> The most prominent ecological consequence during this time in Tanzania was due to the forced settlements by the TANU government and President Nyerere. During the time of forced settlement, TANU provided more artificial means of agricultural aid while cracking down on yield results and as a result, production yield began to decrease and land became underdeveloped. Land was not being utilized to its full potential and therefore, not only were crop yields subpar, but the biodiversity also became inferior.

> There were also internal factors that led to the implosion of the Ujamaa program. The first was resistance from the public. During the 1970s there was a resistance from the peasantry to leave their individual farms and move to communal living due to the lack of personal capital that came out of the communal farms. This led President Nyerere to order forced movement to Ujamaa villages.

I have access to a regular Nextcloud server. I can share files, edit Markdown documents and do basic image editing (cropping, rotating, resizing)

These are all things I can also do on Dropbox, Dropbox has a few more features here like the ability to add Microsoft Office and Google Docs/Sheets/etc documents.

What am I missing here? What can Nextcloud do that Dropbox can't?
Thanks for highlighting the language. I fear it's not being framed as that, though, and there will be another battle in the court of public opinion for the next TikTok.

To what end? It isn't going to placate the hawks in America. And it's likely to inflame them elsewhere, e.g. in Europe. The only way you can position it as a win is within China's domestic politics, where it would save face for Xi and his acolytes. (Hence, the inefficiency of dictatorship.)

If you care more about land-grabbing users to aggregate demand (https://stratechery.com/aggregation-theory/) then you can develop what users wants, get them onboard, and then start squeezing profits out of that. That is what Google, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Facebook et al did. Here we are with ads on freemium products, and now the data we generate are more valuable to feed to train AIs.

If you're trying to sustainably develop features to support users, even if the pace of the feature development is very slow, I think that is what we are seeing with Zoho.

Yes. But IIRC there have been attacks on Debian package fetching anyways.
I don't think that concern is entirely unwarranted, I just don't think it's justification for censorship. If TikTok were violating US laws and refusing to comply that'd be one thing, but "Kids prefer an app made by a company in China" isn't really good enough.

It's very strange that our government doesn't care that our phones are made in China, that damn near everything for sale on Amazon comes from China, that we're constantly getting Chinese products that are low quality, covered in heavy metals, and/or drenched in formaldehyde, yet a Chinese owned app goes too far?
You could probably mitigate this by using overlapping clips and fading between them. Pretty crude but could be close to unnoticeable, depending on how unstable the technique actually is.

I don't understand your reference to people with a 'serious mental health crisis.'

It comes from the fact that a significant portion of your users will surely be in that category.

I understand your point, but the word selection can be quite subjective.

Right, but in such cases (and especially when dealing with mental health services) one should apply the cautionary principle. And be extra careful to not use words that suggest that your service provides something ("compassion", "emotional support") which it plainly -- does not.

It can. The misconception that people generally have is believing that purchasing securities is a zero-sum game when in fact it's generally a positive sum game. When you buy a bitcoin (or security), the money you spent doesn't disappear so the amount of bitcoins and fiat in circulation do not change as a result of this trade. There's nothing stopping a bitcoin from being worth a million dollars or a dollar being worth a million bitcoins, it's just a function of supply and demand.
Even if there is zero evidence supporting an influence campaign on the platform, the ease of collecting user data or spying on users is something I would expect an active adversary to do. Like it or not, China and America are at odds with each other, and it's almost silly to assume that China would not be exploiting a successful tool for their own means.
I have shown the consistency of New Foundations. My aim is not actually to promote it as a working set theory. NFU, which admits Choice, is probably better for that. But if there are people who want to use NF as the foundation, it is now seen to be as secure as a rather small fragment of ZFC.
