Ya, but the drone operators emit radio. So too the drones. They are visually stealthy but are more visible electronically than an oldschool motor team. From what I have seen, the Ukrainian drone teams have to "shoot and scoot" in much the same way as the motor/artillery teams.

We often didn't manage to solve the issues. We didn't solve climate change or AIDS or the holocaust or cancer from smoking. And when we solved some issues (like the ozone hole) or remedied them (like smoking) it was only because people did what you dismiss as panicking.

Imagine if someone tried to warn you, in 1938, that a second world war will happen with significant probability, and you just answer:

"I think most people realize the risks, but also realize that panicking like this is the end of {art, culture, etc} isn't very helpful either, as evidenced by various similar events in human history"

> …directs the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to propose regulations requiring U.S. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers of IaaS products to verify the identity of their foreign customers… (from TFA)

This is about IaaS not “internet services”. It doesn’t remove anonymity from internet users, just foreign customers renting cloud servers and other infrastructure.
Back when they actually paid attention to hand-feel. No smartphone has ever felt as good in the hand as my Lifedrive or Tungsten TX.
Link to the paper [0]. Interesting stuff.

> This paper presents Amazon MemoryDB, a fast and durable inmemory storage cloud-based service. A core design behind MemoryDB is to decouple durability from the in-memory execution
engine by leveraging an internal AWS transaction log service. In
doing so, MemoryDB is able to separate consistency and durability
concerns away from the engine allowing to independently scale
performance and availability. To achieve that, a key challenge was
ensuring strong consistency across all failure modes while maintaining the performance and full compatibility with Redis. MemoryDB
solves this by intercepting the Redis replication stream, redirecting
it to the transaction log, and converting it into synchronous replication. MemoryDB built a leadership mechanism atop the transaction
log which enforces strong consistency. MemoryDB unlocks new
capabilities for customers that do not want to trade consistency or
performance while using Redis API, one of the most popular data
stores of the past decade.

Ok but even if I accept all that, what does it have to do with TikTok specifically?

I feel like all these arguments just come down to “China bad, therefore anything that annoys China is good” which is silly and juvenile reasoning
In most web applications I write, I have one error-handling block.

Access forbidden? Log a warning and show a 403 page. Is is JSON? Then return JSON.

Exception-handling in general is a pretty small part of most applications. In Go, MOST of the application is error-handling, often just duplicate code that is a nightmare to maintain. I just don't get why people insist it's somehow better, after we "evolved" from the brute-force way.
Thank you for this comment, I think you're asking important questions.

First, let's acknowledge that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is a terrible strategy. There are plenty of conflicts out there at every scale where neither side has the moral highground.

It is entirely possible for both sides of a conflict to be complicit of crimes, war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide.

In this particular case it is absolutely the cause of Iran (and most likely Hamas, though this one has a bit more nuance) to "wipe Israel off the map", and if they could snap their fingers and kill every jew on the planet, they would.

That doesn't make the force opposing them not themselves potentially culpable. We don't excuse the US firebombing hundreds of thousands of civilians in Tokyo, or the Soviet soldiers raping their way through Germany despite the horrors of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany.

ESPECIALLY if we deem one side our ally - they must be held to a higher standard than our enemy.

Second, the intent of crimes, and the success of crimes are independent. Being BAD at crimes doesn't make them not crimes. See: Trump, Donald.

Third, let's put this together. Israel is not bad Genocide. Israel is GOOD at Genocide because it knows that if it actually put all Palestinians into a Nazi-like concentration camp they would lose the support of the entire world. Which is why much as their other enemy Russia, they apply Salami Tactics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salami_slicing_tactics) to gradually erode the civil rights of palestenians (especially in the West Bank) by making their life more and more unpalatable and not care what ultimately happens to them (so long as they don't strike out back at Israel; and in some cases even if they do because that allows them to go in and dramatically overreact)

Remember, "Genocide" is not "Extermination of an entire ethnicity in a gas chamber", there are many sub-definitions of it. I'm not gonna get pedantic about it though. Israel is conducting a purposeful (via apathy/lack of care) massacre of Palestinian civilians under the guise of exterminating Hamas. That this is happening is not in dispute. The only thing that's in dispute among the mainstream is whether whether these costs to civilian lives are justified for the greater cause (much as people defend the WW2 concepts I mentioned above).

And if the entire context was "In October, Hamas struck out at Israel killing thousands of Jewish civilians, so now Hamas must be removed no matter what the cost", I could at least conceive of an intellectual argument of how many dead Palestinians is fair to take reprisal for dead Jews.

But that's not the start of this, and that's not the full context, and I hope at least everyone on hackernews reading this knows that.

I didn't say so. I said that having choices to make presented to you, if there were no free will, would be a valid state of affairs. Since it's possible that choices are illusions, you need to address how the choices appear to prove there's free will, it's not enough to say you consider different choices before acting.
Thanks for the reply!

Yep, I definitely did not check my email. I see there are instructions there.

What can we do to actually contest it? I see this website lets you submit a “formal comment”. But is that enough? Who is in charge of the decision and who else can be pressured to stop it (certain legislators)?
ELv2 is not an open source license. Why are so many companies using “open source” to scaffold on traction and interest? This framing is disingenuous.
No. The Tiktok ban is because the PRC is using it to track US (and other country's') citizens. This is fundamentally no different than what Facebook has been doing for years, but China doesn't have a free market, so every piece of data is available to the PRC intelligence.

This should not be a surprise, but you folks are idiots who think only The Big Bad United States are (somehow) the only ones interested in spying.

Isn't this a clear violation of the 4th amendment?

> “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things ...

Note it says "the people" and not "citizens of the United States". Everyone has this protection within U.S. borders, SCOTUS has ruled to this effect.

So the government forcing yet more private companies to do their unconstitutional bidding seems like something that should b opposed. I believe banks being required to collect KYC came about through The Patriot Act. If this trend continues, you'll need to verify your identity to use any service.
Yes, the comments. My ability to write comments has gotten significantly better because of Copilot.

It’s awful but in a helpful way. Like it will suggest “if $argument is empty, this function will return an error”, which is not true because $argument is an int, but it does do something wonky if you give it negative numbers so I remember to add that.
I never had the WiFi sled, but I remember feeling this way when I used my 650 in the car, plugged into the aux audio input, to stream 128kbps music from Shoutcast servers via some media player I've since forgotten (it aped the Winamp interface, but wasn't a port if I remember correctly).

This was at a time when folks I knew were getting XM radio, but for the cost of the data plan I was already paying for (only a $10/mo addon for unlimited!) I could listen to hundreds of stations. I even ran a Shoutcast server from home so I could listen to my music collection on shuffle as a sort of bespoke radio station.
I know there are still some bugs and corner cases that need to be worked out, but I am really impressed with how well this is working. I would think that moving from a traditional single-threaded mark and sweep to a moving, concurrent GC would be a very involved change. Requiring a rewrite of many components. But it looks like it was “just” plugging into the MPS API. I realize that library does several things to make this easier, like supporting pinning and weak references, but I am still impressed.
Shouldn't they be just trying to get the unit cost of a cruise missile down to like 100K. Seems a lot more effective TBH.
My guess, before seeing your post, was that it's an age correlation.

I don’t play Minecraft, but I’ve noticed that there are plenty of what appear to be open source Minecraft clients and servers. Presumably one could connect an open source client to an open source server without any particular involvement from MS. It’s not even immediately obvious that doing so would infringe on any of MS’s rights.

So why do people, especially in places like Iran, use Microsoft’s Minecraft implementation? Is it just ease of use?

I think this is a failure in imagination not a failure in science.

Still, all these free will deniers are basing their worldview on the (radical) assumption that.

1. Everything has a cause
2. Everything is explainable
3. physical matter is all there is
4. Science can describe literally everything about the universe
4a. Corollary - things that aren’t describable by science don’t exist

All of those claims are unfalsifiable at best and demonstrably false at worst (depending on how hard you squint). Science is effective for repeatable experiments, but that’s not a guarantee that there aren’t events that are one-and-done.
Anyone. Sturgeon's Law isn't a rigidly defined, mathematically provable statement of objective fact, it's a science fiction author's subjective defense of the quality of work in their chosen genre relative to the mainstream when told that "90% of science fiction is crap." It isn't even strongly related to the Pareto principle, despite superficial similarities, nor is it necessarily universally applicable. At the very least the specific term of "90%" can be interpreted as "most," and of course "crap" is a matter of opinion and taste.

So if you disagree, fine. It's not like you're disagreeing with gravity or something.

- "To Address the National Emergency"

A fast-moving emergency that can't be fixed by normal constitutional lawmaking processes, and must resort, exceptionally, to executive-branch emergency decrees—for expedience. Nevermind the executive order it's drawing authority from was written three years ago. It was a fast-moving emergency then, too, I suppose.

Minecraft is a psyop platform used to cultivate certain personality types, to be exploited by other organizations that buy the data.

Given that top GPUs are sanctioned, I'm sure preventing access to them remotely is a part of this. But just generally speaking, doing any malicious crap out of an EC2 instance is an easy way for a foreign actor in China/Russia/Iran to look more legit.
> it's all there for free with an Internet connection

The "Internet" is just hand waving. The internet is massive. Almost everything is available on the internet, but that's a problem, not a solution. Sometimes it's like finding a needle in a haystack.

> If one can't find new music to ones taste it's not because of what's being produced.

So what is the explanation for "GenZ and Millennials show a much smaller preference for their own decade's music", which again, you haven't addressed.
It's still just for IaaS companies, though, right?

Not that that makes this all okay, but it is a much more limited proposal than "internet services" makes it sound.
I used the term "as established as google". In my mind this certainly meant the market has to be established. As long as an industry is brand new and rapidly developing, things are obviously different. Many early market leaders didn't make it in the internet. But in the last ten years, market leaders haven't been failing in the same way.

So no, not changing the rules, but maybe clarifying the point. Situations such as the rise of the internet in the late 90s and early 2000s are the anomaly, not the rule.

Operating Systems and Internet search are roughly the same they were ten years ago. 3d accelerator cards changed immensely in the years when 3dfx failed. Microsoft and Google are not in businesses where younger agile companies that read the changing tides better can quickly supplant them.

And that's why they get a thousand chances to turn things around while printing money with their "death spiralling" business.

Think of them as "node metrics". 1.4 node metrics, not nanometers. They haven't referred to any distance in years, so make up your favorite backronym. Å can be Åwesomes, so 1.4 node metrics = 14 Åwesomes. Embrace nonsense, the chip makers did!
I think its easier to market "unified API". In practice, it is more like an API to call another API with some niceties like Auth handled + retries
In the past that would be true. But given most blockchain platforms require it, I imagine it is more widely known in the tech-savy hn-like realms?

Then again I worked on blockchain tech around half a decade ago, so I might be knowledge biased here?
From my experience with and in Iran: every western sanction leads to more products and services from China. Life becomes a bit more difficult, yes. But the government does what it wants to do. And China essentially takes over the economy. At the expense of the West. Is the Western behavior wise? I do not know. Sometimes, I hear a "boom" in the air, coming from far away. Those are the bottles of champagne that Chinese entrepreneurs open to celebrate new sanctions on Iran.
And FISA was only about surveilling non-US persons.
Do you have other eye-wear for the day? My daughter had started with regular glasses for near-sightedness which we got quickly when we realized she had trouble seeing in school. This year we did a checkup and the optician recommended specialist glasses (MiyoSamrt) as my daughter had no experience with contacts. I am now wondering if she should try something like RGP at night, and then use her glasses for short-sightedness. I know some treatments can be additive and some other combinations are not recommended (like drops + glasses).
We used to do technical interviews with a live coding exercise, but this made many candidates extremely nervous to the point that we were still guessing whether this candidate could do actual coding.

We’ve had more success with a simple timeboxed coding exercise for junior developers. Developers are supposed to implement a simple wireframe design of a single page that downloads some weather data from an API an shows it. Developers may create it in their favorite library/framework.
We've used it at work for a specific use case where paying for a more expensive redis that survives downtime with no frills made sense. It's quite expensive but super easy to use.

I could never get into nix on Mac os. Maybe it's a different thing if you use nixOS but I'm not willing to make that jump.

It seems the clear barrier to entry to nix is UX and to an extent the custom language they use. Maybe this problem can be solved with LLMs. We need an LLM fine tuned to write nix language.
This is not open source.
Its too sad to share, IMO. Maybe I'm defending bad people.

$0.10 - but you have to actually pick up the call before the "report as spam" button is available. Add a button which is "Hang up and report as spam", and put that button away from the regular hang up button, so it doesn't often get hit accidentally.

Also, if the monthly bill is less than $1 in spam charges, then the charges should be dropped. Spam charges aren't intended for one-off annoying calls.
