> US can easily use the free trade as the ground to ban TikTok, instead it uses an subpar excuses that often used by CCP.

I think this is the absolute best way to address this. It forces people to realize and acknowledge that even China's CCP is well aware that companies like TikTok are a major security threat which justifies this type of action.

I wonder why we have anonymous accounts spreading this nonsense that this is a mere trade issue, as if the problem is a company that generates well below $5B in revenue, and not the data harvesting operation and propaganda arm that it is designed to be.

This statement is not obviously true.
I, a Turkish migrant living in Europe, think of a specific culture when I read "Black", and skin color when I read "black" (in the context of talking about people of course), and White doesn't tell me anything. Many people from West Turkey also consider themselves as "white" but this is only in comparison to the average skin color of people from East Turkey.
The point of a limit is that it's a number that is illegal to exceed. We have sort of forgotten about that notion because we all ignore speed limits wholesale (or treat them as recommended speeds).

"Inefficient" doesn't get there, and also, on an open road, 85 is fine. Lots of other charges are available for someone going 85 on a crowded road.

The article is literally about blocking third party cookies by default. They also introduced some other things, but before the release in that article, they were not blocking third party cookies by default.

In Safari, if you loaded a pixel from https://advertiser.com/resource that was referenced on different sites, advertiser.com would get the same cookie. This is still true. What blocking third party cookies means is that advertiser.com can't set a cookie when its pixel is loaded from another website. Safari didn't even think to implement it until Chrome announced that they would do it and worked with web publishers to migrate away. As far as sending cookies to a different origin, Safari didn't even support the SameSite attribute until 2019, three years after Chrome and one year after Firefox. It's not for nothing that Safari gained its reputation for being slow at adopting web standards.

A compile-time reference counting and reference count ellision scheme would be awesome for jq. It could only happen with an escape hatch to reference counting. We had an interesting contribution that added a piece of this, but meant for libjq-using applications, not for jq itself.
This whole thing is baffling to me. What are you talking about? What enemy? I would rather someone in China has my information than my own government. China has no power over me; my own government does. I don’t care if china knows whether I like cheesecake better than blueberry pie. They’re interested in monitoring their own citizens, im sure- for the same reasons our own government agencies and corporate behemoths monitor ours. But I don’t see what use china could have for data about Americans.

Look: the Cold War is over. And communism is a red herring. The world has changed. For some reason Americas elites view TikTok as a threat, probably because they don’t have the kind of total access to their servers that they’re accustomed to with American firms. But that has little to do with regular Americans. And there’s no argument other than decades old red baiting tropes they can think of to try to get us to care.

Nice! Back in around 2012 or so Spotify still didn't even do MacOS notifications so I rigged up an easy AppleScript to do it (I want to say with Growl first and a bit later with native notifications? Been a while).

It's always surprising to me that Spotify/Apple Music/etc. don't seem to want to natively add functionality like this to their UX.
TFA is pretty awesome, not least because of all the links. I'm going to be reading for a while.
Exactly right. What is "unbiased" or "neutral".

That said I think some regulatory control is needed. There needs to be some sort of accountability e.g. for intentional propagation of fake news or censorship or defamation. This is no different than requirements for ethical behavior in other industries. Just like we regulate public companies in general we should be able to impose some requirements on any business that distributes media. Free speech for individuals but if you are a business or a media "provider" you need to meet a somewhat higher bar? I think we used to rely on journalistic standards or self regulation but with "new" media (and maybe even with old media) this seems to be not working that well any more. There's a fine line there for sure but seems like whether China owns some social media or someone with US citizenship we still want to have guards against harms this can cause. The amount of power these companies wield is scary.
I believe it's quite useful for framework developers for not required to build an abstract layer upon the already-exist-and-well-designed DOM layer to manage the state transitions or event handlings or something similar, you can't do too much if you are constrained to use only string values to encode/decode the inner state/data on the DOM.
> "Ban" is completely appropriate shorthand for "ban (unless something highly improbable occurs)."

It's only improbable if the suspicion is true, and in that case: good riddance.

Also TikTok apparently isn't even allowed in China they have their own version.

I'm pissed too, when such happens. But that's the way it goes. One can choose between two questions:

- Am I important, ain't I?

- what can I buy of the HN KarmaPoints?

I mostly choose the second question and answer it briefly:

Nothing.

And then I realize, for what it's worth: it's worth nothing and I can't buy anything with it.

I learn to be not pissed on the Internet. I think it's an important skill.
Yes, the wise will stay away from any Atlassian product like Confluence and Jira.
Are you positing that you have free will but that those around you with less emotional control don’t? I don’t think your example is serving your argument; your brain is structured in such a way that you reason in a way that is unique to you, and others reason otherwise based on the structure of their brains. I don’t see how this grants you free will. You’re talking about feelings and reasoning as part of conscious experience and that’s, in my opinion, the end state of all of the neurological activity that pointed us to feel or think a certain way in the present moment.

The chain of causality that leads to thoughts and emotions in consciousness is completely determined by the structure and action potentials that propagate through our brain and nothing else, and this doesn’t leave room for some conscious agent in our brain also pulling levers and further modifying causality.
>But businesses do.

There is a common misunderstanding that the government can simply ask businesses to do stuff and it's still strictly business. It's not.

>Christian nationalists long ago figured out they were losing the censorship battle with the postal service and governmnt...they long ago shifted to influencing every aspect of society, and one of those is business - and by that they mean financial systems.

Blaming the overwhelming push for censorship in the 2020s on Christians is at best misguided. They are likely to be censored themselves.

>> there are seven aspects of society that believers seek to influence: family, religion, education, media, arts & entertainment, business, and government.

This describes a lot of groups. You're quoting it like the Christians are some kind of menace, but they are the least concerning of all current threats to freedom in my book. I'm an atheist, as well.

Innovation has not been in defense engineering lately because the US has lost A LOT of public trust when it comes to the defense industry in the wake of Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

The US is not the country, nor do they have the reputation in front of the public that led to the Manhattan project, where the greatest minds would willingly work on defense projects, not just willingly but eagerly.

The breakthroughs are also less than they used to be. We have the nuke. We have reached space. We've hit the peaks. Everything else is just automatic turrets and AI to choose who to kill.

I remember being in college. I went to a top CS school (perhaps the top CS school), and it was often considered a black mark if you went to work for a defense company (even Palantir). It was also a different time, when we had our pick of companies to work at, not like today. But that sentiment is hard to shake off. I'm not convinced it is not still large in academia and the CS world today
> They could keep extra planes and staff around ready to replace an incoming flight if it's delayed

This seems unrealistic. The cost would be prohibitive.
The books I've read have a say in this. Rutger Bregman concluded in his Humankind - a Hopeful History that deep down human is pretty decent. So I'm thinking the turnout would be rather similar in different communities.

I think we all know that airlines overbook, or cancel flights if not enough people are on a flight to make it economically viable.

At a minimum they should be required to provide the odds of a flight to be delayed or canceled before the day-of to allow customers to reschedule ahead of time to get to their destination on time.

Refund of money doesn't matter when you have a place to be at a certain time, especially if you plan months in advance, only to find out 3 hours ahead of time (and at 3:30am in the morning) that your planned flight for months is suddenly canceled for "non-operation".

Literally on a cross-country vacation right now where this is the second time that a flight has been delayed/canceled on me in the past two years (American Airlines). I want to be a loyal customer, but this feels very one sided, and any monetary recourse certainly isn't enough when you hsve a place to be at a certain time (and aren't informed that it's possible you won't make it there, or else worst case you can drive)
Yes, absolutely. Paychovisual encoding can only do so much within the constraints of H.264/265.

Throwing away 3/4 (half res) or 15/16 (quarter res) of the data, encoding to X bitrate and then decoding+upscaling looks far better than encoding to the same X bitrate with full resolution.

For high bitrate, native resolution will of course look better. For low bitrate, the way H.26? algorithms work end up turning high resolution into a blocky ringing mess to compensate, vs lower resolution where you can see the content, just fuzzily.

Go get Tears of Steel raw 4K video (Y4M I think it's called). Scale it down 4x and encode it with ffmpeg HEVC veryslow at CRF 30. Figure out the bitrate, then cheat - use two-pass veryslow HEVC encoding to get the best possible quality native resolution at the same bitrate as your 4x downscaled version. You're aiming for two files that are about the same size. Somehow I couldn't convince the codec to go low enough to match, so I had the low-res version about 60% of the high-res version filesize. Now go and play them both back at 4K with just whatever your native upscale is - bilinear, bicubic, maybe NVIDIA Shield with it's AI Upscaling.

Go do that, then tell me you honestly think the blocky, streaky, illegible 4K native looks better than the "soft" quarter-res version.

I used to fly quite a bit from Schiphol, and booked evening flights as a rule with €80 youth tickets. Now, Schiphol is one of those airports where there are so many flights that delays almost certainly trigger a domino effect and there’s a similar 50/50 delay probability as your Heathrow example in my experience.

I never calculated the net value of my €200 compensations for €80 flight tickets, but I have a feeling I managed to gain money from my accumulated flights during the six months when I travelled back and forth between Stockholm and Amsterdam quite a bit.

According to Graziano Ranocchia, the lead researcher on the project, the newly revealed details pinpoint Plato’s burial place to a private garden within the Platonic Academy in Athens, near the sacred Museion. This revelation challenges previous speculations regarding the philosopher’s final resting place, offering a more precise location within the Academy grounds.

This is where I meant they could dig: Use the improved location evidence from the find at Herculaneum, to locate the spot to do Archeology in Greece, where Plato was buried.
Same. And I didn't feel like we were getting anything for that crazy money aside from than "support" (which management wanted, pre IPO, to make a bunch of security audits seem easier ). We preferred to stick with our own tooling and services that we built around Vault (for example) than use the official enterprise stuff. Same goes for terraform today: I don't feel like we need Terraform Cloud, when we've got other options in that space, including home grown tooling.

Currently the FAANG competitors are much worse; their recommendation engines are inferior. That's why consumers overwhelmingly prefer Tiktok currently.

> we don’t determine how we feel, we are simply served it.

No definition of free will that I have encountered considers it an absolute freedom from any form of determinism. We’re obviously influenced by our nature and external influences. For instance my emotional predispositions are largely determined and my thoughts are not entirely under my control but I do have scope to shape both my emotions and my thoughts over time by what I choose to focus on. I can choose to do what is necessary to change my behavior and to treat people differently than what comes naturally. I know all of this because I have done it, I have experienced it. No materialist philosophy of mind has produced any compelling evidence to contradict my experience of free will in this capacity.

The cold war of authoritarian VS democracy never ended. And China has the ability to turn anyone with mainland access into a asset by holding family hostage and models itself after the British empire. The Indians did have no quarrel with the king of India, until they did. Westcentrism and neutrality are no strategy now that the fascists march again.
My biological father once claimed he was "totally immune" to advertising; I nearly fell over dead that instant with laughter.

Roger Ailes, Edward Bernays, and William Randolph Hearst applied similar principles, leaving lasting influences on the course of American history: one bent a hundred-fifty million Americans towards a retreaded version of the Nixon ideology, one made cigarettes appeal to women and had democracies overthrown for fruit companies, and the latter decided how to spin the news, became a Nazi, and nearly convinced America fascism was a "good idea".

I don't see how any human alive, unless they lived under a rock, can reasonably trace the origin of any of their beliefs or preferences. So, I must conclude beliefs, preferences, and ideologies are more or less arbitrary because most people don't spend metacognition effort on analyzing their formation or their change.
It is also a logical fallacy. Even if it is true that the US is a greater threat in some sense, that doesn't invalidate that China is also a threat. It also doesn't justify not taking this action.
I'd do the same if my employer helps a regime kill 74 children every day through precision airstrikes.

When Russia invaded Ukraine we saw a massive redrawl of companies, funny how this isn't happening with Israel at the same speed when the crimes are far worse.

I thought that's because Corporate wants to show that they are doing good, in fact so good that they look for employees.

Probably Hanlon's Razor applies: «Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.»

In other words, it's a mixture of laziness, some need for employees but not following through, rigid software for job applications, corporate politics and plain stupidity.

I imagine one example how it might happen more or less like this:

- A product owner sees that their team is overworked

- They ask for a job opening or just enter the job description in the software

- They get shot down by someone higher up or they are replaced or fired themselves

- The process starts anyway and nobody is responsible for incoming applications
