I wonder if this choice will have an effect on the upcoming US elections, with TikTok users blaming the current government for losing access to their favourite app.
The ones we catch are.
Yeah, I have no idea at all how school administrators are related to evicting old ladies and collecting property taxes either.
Not if you approach it through epigenetics. :)
If you have Android, I've had good success with Google Messages. I reported one of them as spam, and now all of them go to the Spam folder automatically :)
Tbh this is fine by me. It's about time the US stop being the center of the world for internet infrastructure.
The more novel the thing is, the more likely it is that you won't like it. I can tell if I'm truly exposing myself to new music by how often I hear a song and say "Yeah, that's just not for me." It makes sense that by the time one is in their 30s they say "I have 1000 songs I know I like, why do I need to look for more songs, many of which I won't like"

Which is basically a long winded way of responding to:

> I don't think I'm wired in some special way that lets me keep liking new things, it's just that I seek them out when I know a lot of people my age just don't.

With:

There's a non-zero cost to seeking out new things, so the "special way you are wired" involves considering that cost to be worth it.
Tesla faces an identity crisis: carmaker or tech firm?
Yes. They own the company. Any medium/large company in China has a government representative embedded in the exec team.
Yes, this works, and it's a feature we offer for free!
I remember the campaigns for net neutrality made it seem like if we lose it it would be the end of the internet as we know it. That never really happened. And now that it’s being restored, reaction seems to be “meh”.
Until a couple years ago, there were laws restricting where they could operate. They were only allowed to serve "underserved" areas. Part of the "deregulation" to encourage for-profit competitors. Now, there is an uphill effort to repeal the most burdensome regulations created by deregulation, but progress is slow.
Uptime and durability are not the same thing.
What changes does this make to current services? I feel like this is a rule for restricting stuff that could happen in the future. And thus made out of fear.

I think much like the author’s writing it’s a very polarizing thing, and it either clicks with people or doesn’t. For those that it doesn’t I can understand the viewpoint that it’s extremely negative.

I disagree that it’s inherently rude or aggressive. You can absolutely tell someone they’re a moron in a very polite and joking way, but it clearly won’t translate into writing very well.

As for crass, yeah definitely ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯
Yes, this actually uses liquid-state fuel which is substantially more sticky, spreads more, can actually "wet" things, and doesn't instantly burn up upon atomization like LP.
What area are you in?

Average rate when I was in the Bay Area was > $.55/kwh.
Ansible comes to mind. Used it to orchestrate hundreds of servers with migrations. Could also simply set up proxmox services beforehand if you're truly motivated, then just replicate the server to another instance.
I thought all businesses in China operate at the pleasure of the government?

Most recent attempt I can think of bucking that trend is Ant group and Jack Ma, who presumably still is in a room somewhere and not a dark hole in the ground.
This would provide the burn, but not the control.
They really, really do. It’s communism 101.
I have noticed it become increasingly more lethargic over only the last two weeks, almost to the point of how slow is linkedin. I attributed it only to excessive client-side script they push into my old and unpowerful device. Now, with this event and discussion here, I believe it's indication of some bigger change or effect.
I doubt it, their core competitive advantage is their algorithms which they would have to disclose in a sale.

So they wouldn’t be selling the US subsidiary, they’d be selling the entire golden goose.
Finally, our long national nightmare is over.

Idk, did anybody notice any actual problems with net non-neutrality?
If you think about it, social media is a great propaganda tool if you are a bad state actor. Content for young people and indoctrination delivered right to their eyeballs.
Eh, unsubscribe links were definitely not universal in 2003 and they barely are today. But the situation has definitely improved in the last 20 years.
I see what you're saying, all I'm saying is that a society with debtors prisons and issues with their penal system is bad - very bad - but doesn't constitute the conditions or nearly in much in common with slavery as you're making it out. Invoking "slavery" like this and making it seem like you mean this "literally" always seems ineffective and inflammatory to me.

The funny thing is, I do the same with Audible books too, even if they aren't something I normally physically see. I just can't help buying books :)
Beware the kittens. Stay far away from the kittens.
I remember what happened in the early 2000s and how companies pulled back on the tech they were using. A few years ago I was convinced that fat front-end stacks are a luxury of companies with "free" money, and that the industry would be making tough choices. (To be clear, there are applications that the SPA approach is best for, but many applications are being built that could just as well be served by an old-school PHP and Jquery app)
You're thinking of the Knapp joint which were sometimes called dovetails. The pantograph router version is a modern recreation of how the original was made.

This video has some explanation of the new method and why they were originally popular in the first place (mostly limitations of available machines): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlJjsvph3r8&ab_channel=Matth...

Services like Github Actions, Google Collab, and web-based IDEs likely meet this definition though as it lets users execute their own custom code on their cloud. So basically all developer stuff may require an ID check.
Interesting that this has been brewing within the FCC since at least Oct 19, 2023 according to related articles in the stream at the bottom of the page. I hadn't heard about it at all (except for states' efforts).

This seems like really good news, although I assume this restoration is just as fragile as the prior enshrinement?
What's your guess? :D
Given the impetus for some congress critters to change their No vote to a Yes vote was the very young teenagers calling their offices and having zero idea what this is about or what to ask for simply based on Tiktok's fearmongering, not much.

Maybe in another four years when they're old enough to vote.
I always use the option to report them as spam that pops up in iMessage.
The idea of something to replace TikTok is exciting. With each new social network there is so much opportunity to start a new following and it’s easier to go viral. The first rounds of ads are also more effective.
In India, tiktok ban migrated the people off to instagram, and in my (subjective) opinion we are worse off for it.
Something is interpreted as "common" because it is disproportionately talked about, but it's disproportionately talked about precisely between it is uncommon and therefore interesting! Is there a name for this phenomenon?
Unsurprising, I suppose. Google didn't sell their China operations to the Chinese government's choice. It's a sign of declining US power that this nation has to resort to the same moves as China does. Previously, American stuff was just better and protectionism wasn't required. Now the Chinede thing is better so we have to do this.

Can't be helped. Everything must play out this way. We're too weak to just beat them so we're forced to do this. But we still have to do it.

India banned TikTok (without the option to divest) and everything was fine. And they didn't limit the ban to TikTok:

"TikTok wasn’t a one-off case. Today, India has banned over 500 Chinese apps to date." [1]

If ByteDance won't sell, let them shutdown. It is truly baffling to me that anyone would defend a company's right to operate freely in the U.S. when it is controlled by a brutal autocracy that is also an emerging adversary.

The bots are on strike for greater autonomy.
I'm a bit disappointed that this discussion thread has mostly been about nostalgia (which is great) and not the technical details TFA brings up. Really curious about the "everything is a database" concept and how it contrasts with other operating systems. Based on the article it sounds like the choice to design Palm OS like that was because of "strongly influenced by the classic Mac OS," and for "computing memory consumption"?
Aiming accurately on the move would be the hard part here (but this has been long-solved for fixed/emplaced weapons, at least.)

But any SMG or carbine could be installed quite easily.
The fourth amendment requires probable cause of a crime prior to being forced to identify yourself. This rule is forcing companies to verify the identities of their customers on behalf of the government for vague national security reasons.
"for various reasons"... they killed home solar with net metering charges!
Huh that one got flagged
Don't you ever get inspired by reading good books? You can learn new tricks and apply them elsewhere, and it's much easier than actually contributing to a big open-source project.
An example of this is MarketDial vs. APT (Applied Predictive Technologies). Apparently APT brought in McKinsey for something and one of the McKinsey consultants quit to start MarketDial, which is a direct competitor to APT. That said, from what I have seen all of the court cases against MarketDial have been dismissed, so who knows what the truth is.
That is true, whether or not you believe in free will at a specific point in time is a result of your previous history (internal and external influences).
Better outlaw matches and lighters then.
I've been getting an enormous amount of right-wing political spam lately (which continues today). I made a video about tracing its origin. I wonder if your text messages are in any way related. Monument & Cathedral seems to be pursuing multi-modal communications, so it wouldn't surprise me if they have an active SMS campaign.

> That never really happened.

A few reasons this might be true:

1. States like California passed their on laws enforcing net neutrality, making it much more difficult for national ISPs to implement the expected predatory practices

2. It takes time to implement new processes, and it was never clear that NN would stay dead, so ISPs wouldn't want to invest too heavily in fear of a day like today.

3. It might have happened to some users and you didn't see it. It of course was never expected that the moment NN was repealed, everyone's internet everywhere would turn to sludge.
I’ve been using a similar app, though the one I use doesn’t support regular expressions. Not really sure why this isn’t built into iOS. When used with the right list of terms, the app works well.

As the headline is asking a question, the answer is No.

But to the article itself, it says "slowed growth", not "reversed growth and Microsoft/Google/Amazon are no longer able to operate data centers due to lack of money", SaaS is not dead by definition.

SaaS also would include M365. The most popular collaboration platform on Earth. That thing is a monster of cash flow.
Aren't these "cheap" drones tens to hundreds of thousands each?

If Zapier is your mental model, the use case there is trigger/action workflows which is a different from 2-way sync which I'd say Nango does well. For the former you might want to check out this open-source project I work on: https://github.com/RolloutHQ/rollout
Sounds to me like the principal was a seasoned "New ERP" person desperate to control the sprawling scope-creep that inevitably dooms these efforts. I would also wager plenty of customization had been worked out prior to the system being rolled out. SAP, Fusion, etc. are not cookie-cutter software, despite their appearances.
This. America has a retribution problem. The prison industrial complex was never about reform, or rehabilitation, it is about vengeance and retribution. That is what Americans most want.
You elect a executive branch to protect you. Sometimes that includes executive orders. And if these survive the check and balances, maybe it is for the greater good.

If you do not want that, the country has to work on a functional Parlament and switch away from a presidential system.
That’d be September 1978 – November 1979 and before then during the roaring twenties if I read this right.

Maybe POTUS should declare an emergency to reduce the number of emergencies?
Sure, but wealth-based classes are still missing a larger philosophical justification. The flip side of the virtue of social mobility, if you will. So the philosophical justification gets filled in with the just world fallacy and whatnot.
ByteDance has a number of big US investors. A sale or divestiture of Chinese ownership would be good for these investors. From a purely financial view, selling is the right move. The only reason not to sell is because a player who doesn't care about money is putting the brakes on.

I also think if they pull out of the US, it's not improbable for the EU to also push TikTok to make changes.
Thanks for the source. I'm glad Bell labs pounced on the opportunity.
Already happening at the IRS. There's a reason government was so reticent in regulating facial recognition in any meaningful way: The government database of everyone's faces, purchased and cobbled together from private partners, isn't complete enough yet.

This has nothing to do with AI, but an out-of-control executive branch and intelligence agencies. AI is just another tool that will make it cheaper.
As if KYC for bank accounts was an astounding success on international crime, corruption and terrorism financing.

> my genes are in total control and I must.

That is not true. Your gene expression is influenced by experiences, and not just yours, but your grand-grand parents' experiences, too. See: epigenetics and transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.

> Your lawyers come to court and state that you in turn have no free-will, that you are God's creature.

Some say that lack of free will, i.e. determinism undermines moral responsibility, which in turns means that it conflicts with punishment and so forth. I believe that it ultimately does not matter; you can punish for the behavior alone.
It applies to any "software that is not predefined". An OS is just an non-exhaustive example of one type of software that applies.

Okay, I'll try.

Why is bitcoin going to suck in all the stored value in the world? Because it's better money than fiat (or gold).

Why is it better money, well to explain that we need to answer the question, "what is money?". And that topic is so broad Robert Breedlove has a 453-epsiode podcast channel discussing the subject.

Slang for a paedophile
Palm rewired my mind. I still write my upper case 'E' in jot.
except for the single-file database
For many originalists "well-regulated" can mean "uniformed", as in the British "regulars" or regular army as opposed to local militia who were not provided uniforms. Remember that until very recently a soldier's given coat was normally worth more than his weapon. So much context has been lost to history.

Edit: I just did some googling. A decent British army redcoat costume still costs more today than a brand new AR-15.
Pre ~ 2023 the party line was 'we don't need to do anything in generation/distribution infrastructure, we just need to roll out more chargers'. With hints or even promises of REDUCED electric rates, not increased rates.

Search seems to be prioritizing more recent articles, so harder to find references, but there are plenty out there. I remember reading dozens of articles at the time which all insisted that costs would stay the same or go down, and we didn't need to make more generation capacity because EV use would never be a meaningful portion of electrical demand.

"In addition, by including new rate structures in the pilot programs, California may be able to shift load in ways that defers expensive new generation or transmissions assets. This remains to be seen, but could result in lower rates overall." [https://www.csis.org/analysis/utility-involvement-electric-v...]

Here is the California Legislative bill passed on the topic in 2022 - and the focus is on building more chargers. [https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml...]

Here is also the mandate to increase more charging infrastructure too, and assess effectiveness. [https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/reports/electric-vehi...]

By 2022, they were trying to get folks to switch to grid controlled charging [https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/ev-charging/new-califor...] which is a bit crazy for the end consumer, and could even be a large scale safety issue. Essentially centralized rationing.

In 2023 is when supply/demand issues got so obvious that people started to call BS [https://calmatters.org/environment/2023/01/california-electr...].

Notably, around then is also when the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant decommissioning got canned (despite it being past it's design life, with known and expensive to remediate radiation leaks).

Seattle doesn't need AC, but a lot of housing does have electric baseboard heating. Those folks would definitely notice if electricity ~quadrupled in cost!
This comment plus the one about Enron's water investments reminded me of Bill Burr's take on Lance Armstrong:

"Look, the guy was a sociopath on a bicycle, all right? As far as I'm concerned, we got off easy. If that guy was working for a corporation, he probably would have been pourin' stuff in the water supply, doing God knows what. Just keep him on the bike, just let him go up and down the hills, he's not hurting anybody."

Plenty of logic if you assume their goal is to be paid as much $$ as possible, while throwing up the maximum smokescreen possible.

Near as I can tell, the CPUC is in on it for many reasons. Some, like PG&E being paying the tab on their numerous past misdeeds without formally declaring bankruptcy/putting the state on the hook.

But also if for no other reason than it's the only way the various green mandates can actually be hit, since costs to actually deliver a kwh when needed are far, far higher and require much larger capital outlays than the public would be willing to accept if it was obvious to them.

It's frog boiling/gaslighting the public - 'oh it won't cost anything extra - it'll probably save us money!', 'oh, we might need to add some restrictions', 'oh it won't cost that much more really, it will be worth it', 'oh, you've already paid for most of it, it will just be a bit extra', 'oh, yeah it is a bit expensive but what are you going to do about it', etc.

For some reason it seems to work REALLY well in California.
Not just 'old.', main reddit domain too
Right, it's unfortunate. Maybe IBM will open the licensing back up and pour some resources into Nomad? I doubt it, though.
> Think about a CPU - are you arguing that you need to be able to repair a broken pin on the socket?

No, because a CPU is not a line-replaceable unit on Apple hardware. Nobody, not Louis Rossman, not Apple-certified repair stores, and not street-shops in Shenzhen are doing SOC-level repairs. It is a complete red-herring example that almost makes me question how serious you take this, accusing others of using "BS reasons."

> So basically the number of repairable parts in electronics is shrinking due to improvements in manufacturing.

That's really tangential to the point. Integrated components can still be replaced with donor parts (or OEM replacements) if each component isn't DRM-matched to a phone. Apple goes out of their way to deliberately stop their systems from being repaired by others, and it doesn't stop at miniaturization.

> it's still waaaay to early to say they're doing nothing.

If someone is doing nothing, you're never too early to call them out on it. We're not waiting for Apple to get the memo, they have had three years to anticipate this legislation and the only thing they seem interested in doing is pissing and moaning in a PDF while trying to get their last petty jabs in against Spotify and Epic: https://developer.apple.com/security/complying-with-the-dma....

Apple is doing nothing, you can't piss on my back and tell me it's raining.
Finally!

I feel this is really important and am a bit concerned that it rests with an agency which flip flops around with the political winds.
