Senator Pete Ricketts explains why the government wants to ban TikTok: "Pro-Palestinian and Hamas videos on TikTok have more reach than the top 10 US news websites combined."
You didn't read the parent comment right then. Let me paraphrase it:

Yes, you can't use these services in China. But unlike the US's TikTok ban, China will not officially tell everyone what they banned. It just suddenly stops working.

They banned, allowed and banned again GitHub. Without any explanation. Your parent comment is correct.

Because freedoms apply to US citizens. It works just fine.

There is a subtle difference to that than what the author was trying to say in his blog.

The thing is when we read, particularly in growing years, the expectation is that we would remember most of things from the book and apply it somewhere else, ex. in a discussion "...agree, the same I gathered from this excellent book that I read couple of years back...".

And frankly, I'm bummed by it still. I read a lot but when certain situation comes I cannot remember things & facts vaguely, even though I had finished 300 pages of that page turner in one night.

Yes, if TikTok wanted to provide an .apk from a non-US server that connects to non-US servers to operate, that would not be prohibited by this law. I'm sure there are hundreds, even thousands of current American TikTok users who would consider making use of this.

Timber industries have shown for centuries they aren't concerned with carbon capture of forests and actively try to monoculture "regenerating" forests with herbicides which drastically reduces carbon capture.

This documentary gives a good idea into my reasoning on why believing timber propaganda that "trees are better when cut down and regrowing" is false:

Ask HN: How do you disable YouTube's screensaver?
Sometime this year, YouTube seems to have rolled out a feature that will play a screensaver in the YouTube app on your TV. This prevents the TV from showing its own screensaver and turning off (sleep). This wastes power, bandwidth, and money. I’m also worried that this will reduce the lifespan of my TV, and it also feels like an invasive ad meant to keep you on YouTube. I’ve found many people asking the same question but no solution. I’m asking here because there’s at least a chance that Googler will see this and have an explanation as to why this was implemented.
What scale of company do you need to be to actually be able afford and get return on investment on retraining base models with your own proprietary knowledge and docs? Considering also the implications of continually retraining?

Yes, when regulations don’t protect consumers, the outcome is generally considered ridiculous.
The shift in labels and categories applies to all ethnicities, not just whites, even in the US.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-drop_rule

All of the definitions are contested and subject to localities, not just whiteness.

>is that "white" isn't an ethnic group with an actual cultural or racial lineage.

None of them are. There's more genetic diversity in sub Saharan Africa than in any other place on earth. People from Asia and people from Africa don't identify as black or asian as a consistent racial lineage.They're also a western ad hoc hodge podge just as much as whiteness is.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_people

None of your explanations single out white people as an especially fake identity inconsistent with asian or black.

The "stealth" of today is like wearing a 1975 Stones concert tour T-shirt.

It's a both external and internal hype play so everybody knows we "are changing the World", they just don't know it yet.

It's whatever, doesn't mean anything. The only hook I found is the "we got money from Eric Schmidt and got some hyper-local celebs from big companies like Google" line.

All I see is a small constellation of "big" names and an uninspiring "fine-tuned “industry-leading” model". Not poo-pooing anything, I'll just wait for the actual product.
Yup, I took a Biblical Hermeneutics class last year and the level of agreement between modern texts and archeological evidence staggered me. Really opened my eyes to how God has preserved His Word throughout the centuries.

The value proposition for TikTok for the vast majority of existing users is that it provides a zero-friction source of Content. Maybe 5% of them have even heard the term "sideload" and most of those wouldn't bother. A VPN will not matter because TikTok is not being blocked at the network level.

I lived in China for 9 years through most of the banning. I remember the day Twitter stopped working because the US embassy in Beijing was posting embarrassing AQI readings on their Twitter account (“crazy bad” for a reading that was so high they didn’t expect the label to ever be used). I was there when Facebook became blocked and when google became blocked. YouTube, however, was already blocked in 2007 when I started working there.

None of those services need apps, I never used apps to access them.

Yeah, I wasn't at Red Hat for overly long, but you could feel Big Blue's MBAs slowly tightening their grip, bringing in McKinsey wasn't RH culture, but it is IBM culture.
When I built Nearby, a social network, I also realized that there are significant cost savings moving from the cloud to on prem. The hardware is much more performant and is a faction of the cost. I don’t think this is common knowledge. The cloud has pretty much become the default option, but sometimes it really isn’t the best choice.
That’s semantically irrelevant, and potentially incorrect depending on context. 0/10.
What’s wrong with complicated (I’m not sure what that means - large numbers of rows updated? Disparate rows updated?) transactions? Depending on your RDBMS (and what it’s running on, config options, etc) this may or may not be slow.

That's pretty old-school considering that after WWII, seeding industrial areas in Germany with nuclear mines was being considered, and the plan had chickens supplying body heat to prevent the detonators from freezing over in winter.

> Personally I don’t think ‘totalitarian government does it, so should we’ is a super compelling reason.

How about “make economic power and one of our main competitors” does it? Just because China is a totalitarian government didn’t mean they can do the “right” thing.
This is truly effing hilarious. I hope that the alien archeologists who dig through all of this find the humor in our silliness.

When you have teams of developers employed, you have to keep them busy doing stuff to justify their existence.
If you've done any basic electronics before it would be relatively straightforward. I didn't follow any specific guides, just spent a lot of time reading the datasheets for components that sounded like they might work. My ESP8266 is connected to a GPIO expansion board from Adafruit over I²C, which controls 3 TRIACs through TRIAC opto-isolators. HVAC control wires use 24VAC so TRIACs are the silent option for switching, although relays would have probably worked just as well. After that I just programmed the ESP8266 in Arduino to listen to the MQTT broker on my network to send the values from its temperature probe (also an I²C board from Adafruit) and receive commands. It also has a basic thermostat mode programmed in if it stops receiving commands for too long.
He's about 2 years too slow. Mark Zuckerberg already proclaimed 2022 "The year of efficiency."

1. Get everyone escooters that go 60 mph / 96 kph (They exist)

2. We need to cut coffee for cost reasons, so why not issue caffeine-methylphenidate pills

3. Because RTO is still too inefficient, make everyone live at work

You need to provide evidence and context.
Ok, at least you understand the real problem.

I don't disagree, but for clarity, you appreciate this is totally contrary to the (formerly) popular "free speech" meme that used to be a source of pride for Americans?

Isn't it a bit funny that America can't manage to educate[1] its citizens so they are resilient to propaganda? Do you think it is all that difficult to do, if the government set it as a priority"?

[1] It's worse: they can't even try to. To me, this is peak hilarity, doubly so when combined with the conversations in this thread...which themselves are a consequence of the root problem. Oh my, the layers of irony.

Both my kids wore glasses. This year we learned about Ortho-K contact lenses. When worn overnight, these halt the progression of myopia and correct vision for the next day. The kids have responded really well to them, and I wish we'd known about them earlier.
I have fairly mild nearsightedness and can corroborate, I've been wearing glasses for about 13 years or so and my sight has very slowly but certainly degraded in spite.

Corrective lenses definitely slow the degradation and improve daily quality of life, but unfortunately the rate of degradation does not reach zero.
Local governments don't subsidize rail stations?
Yes, and when our government does it, we can hold them accountable. When an adversarial foreign power does it we cannot. Is that a difficult concept for you?
Very different! Stainless crafts each language's SDK generator around its specific idioms.
I majored in philosophy. Descartes is at the center of the only philosophy joke I ever heard.

Socrates, Kant and Descartes were sitting in a bar, talking about baseball:

- Descartes: Well, they have the hitting, but I don't think [Poof! Descartes disappears.]

They're meta-managers; if the C-suite has a high-stakes business decision they can't afford to screw up, they call McKinsey. Or Bain. Or BCG.

The big draw isn't McKinsey's perfection; it's the C-suite anxiety and absence of anything better. If you want to drive a stake through the heart of management consulting, knock the C-suite down a peg so they lose their god complex, or come up with a business model better than McKinsey's for enabling business outcomes. Neither has happened in 50 years, or will, so no, it's not the end for Mckinsey. Nor is it business as usual.

Ever study game theory? Apparently not.
I had the realization a few weeks ago that I no longer listen to very much from before 2016. I didn’t pay attention to how it happened, but less than 20% of what I have actively listened to in the past 3 years going by all these recap playlists is from before 2016 and I keep adding new music every year. Half of the music from before that cutoff point is basically music that was new to me in the last few years even though it’s older.

I couldn’t imagine thinking that would ever happen 15-20 years ago. I’ve also realized that I’m not interested in trying to change that at all, because I’m now of the opinion that so far music has gotten better every single decade I’ve been alive; and the 2020s are off to a great start on that front.

Is there any other industry that does this? Acting/showbusiness maybe? Is it because the industry can't decide on a curriculum/certifications that attest to competence? Surely on-boarding at most small - medium sized tech companies is less expensive than other industries that require uniforms/equipment etc. And the positions generally require higher education/substantial relevant work history requirements, so that would assume general training is not necessary besides training in specific platforms/tools your company uses. Why is it so much more important to vet tech workers so intensely than any other industry? Honestly it seems a lot like employers abusing their positions. I've worked in offices with annoying people you just deal with it, assuming they can competently do their work. Trying to hard to get a "culture fit" or whatever other soft requirement at the applicants expense is not OK.
It definitely isn't easy, but it's the kind of challenges we love! You mentioned many of the big ones, but there's also just the sheer scale of the userbase, which means the libraries will be run under every permutation of runtime and configuration under the sun.

Highly debatable.

Free will hasn’t been proven. It’s up in the air how much is predetermined, and how to even define “free” in the context of free will. Even if we do have free will it’s still influenced to some degree by our biology.
The problem in the US defense industry is, that since the end of the cold war, defense companies have consolidated into just 5 huge conglomerates and the lack of competition wasn't great for the pace of innovation, affordability or timely development.

And the Cold War ended more than three decades ago, about the time we went from piston aircraft to the teen series jets making up the bulk of US inventory even today. Imagine that there isn't a single engineer today at Boeing who has gone through a clean sheet fighter aircraft development cycle throughout his career.

Boeing and LM, 2 of the biggest manufacturers of aircraft, have spotty reputations.

I'm pretty sure the US gov. is absolutely eager to create more competition of the space.
Ever re-read a book you once read a long time ago, only to find your view of it has fundamentally changed in some way? Perhaps you identify with different characters in a story, or your understanding of the author's arguments is entirely different. It's a strange experience, since it's the same book - but you have changed, and so the book has become a kind of time mirror that shows those personal changes reflectively.

The technique to using Copilot (as with any auto-completion) is to keep typing until you get a completion that is equal to what you were going to type. So yes you have to keep rejecting things but the rejection doesn’t take any more effort than normal auto completion.

Heh, most commenters here are way off-base IMO, and IMO the real reason is hinted at in the article. Notably, there are categories of adult content that are illegal in the US and UK, but not in Japan. Based on something that very recently happened to someone I know in the UK, I think it is likely that Pixiv was compelled to hand over information on users who were looking at illegal-in-UK stuff. Perhaps Pixiv has gotten tired of doing that.

I think this is the point, and the outcome desired by the bill's proponents. There's no way to meaningfully achieve separation, so the only viable way to comply is to largely cease active operations. Maybe access to previously shared / liked content would remain, without a way to discover, access, or post new content, or register a new account.

I agree that we need real, substantive community. However, I'm skeptical of the helping-others-builds-community narrative. Shared service can create community, but to be sustainable the service is something that fills you up. I've done a lot of soup kitchen, helping at food banks, etc. work, and it's always been sort of a chore, despite doing it because of a strongly held value. Whereas I can spend a lot of time practicing beautiful choral music for a free concert and it's totally sustainable. Also, community is built among peers, but giving help is not necessarily a peer activity (depends on the help, how reciprocal the help is, pre-existing relationships, etc.).

But helping "people that need help" is not the same as taking meaningful responsibilities. If I take "meaningful responsibilities" towards my neighbors, that's likely to look like co-dependency unless there's some sort of meaningful responsibilities I'm receiving back, or a community (in the social, not geographic/cartographic sense) that that we are already both part of. In fact, it's hard to take on meaningful responsibilities if you are not already a member of some community. (Which is not a bad thing; you don't usually make someone new the leader of the group, and there are good reasons for that)
