I just got to spin down a bunch of infra that was originally in Softlayer, which IBM acquired years ago. IBM were terrible to work with, they frequently crashed services by evacuating VMs from hosts and then not powering them back up, and only notifying us long after our own monitoring detected it. Won't miss that.
They should set a minimum seat pitch of 32" for shorthaul flights and 34" for medium and longhaul flights.
Selectively reducing or excluding some events as not newsworthy while promoting others is observable when using ticktock and the underlying means of propaganda people are concerned about.

For a US example you can simply count the minutes of coverage Fox News and CNN give to various stories for the same basic effect. How much coverage you gives the Russia- Ukraine war can be just as impactful as if you refer to it as a Russian invasion or not.

I hope ByteDance sell tiktok to North Korea. This bill is so misguided and inflammatory. It's clearly OK for Google and Meta to freely harvest our data and sell it for a profit, but I guess they can't charge tariffs on data so they'll make up excuses and bully foreign companies over it. I hope the Chinese join the EU and start pushing on our tech monopolies since our government is too busy with bills like this to uphold the laws already on the books.

All of this just to limit the spread of Palestinians contents in the young generation, since the ADL has a strong “influence” on all other big social media except TikTok (there’s even videos of ADL’s CEO complaining about tiktok Palestinians contents and young generation not supporting Israel), AIPAC came to the rescue and asked its puppets in both red/blue parties to pass the bill, while they also make some cash out of it as reported that some politicians bought $META stocks before voting the bill. That’s the root reason, any other reason mentioned is just a diversion. The illusion of freedom and democracy in the US.
YES! "just" means hours and hours and hours [...] and hours of work!
No. Stop. The public is only against war because Chinese spies are hypnotizing them with algorithms. You're not thinking clearly. The red menace is everywhere, you need to stay vigilant and focused.
Evaporation (specifically phase change of liquid water to water vapor) draws away a LOT of heat.

Meta's Reality Labs posts $3.85B loss in first quarter
The problem with the logic, that a geopolitical adversary shouldn't control a social media company, is that our domestic political system has, as of late, acted quite adversarial to its own population. For that reason, it's not clear to me if China is really a foreign enemy, or an enemy of an enemy. For now, I and many of the younger generation clearly consider it to be the latter, and I will resist all efforts of the current regime to suppress it, until all members of the current regime are swept from power.
China is only smart. Third-world countries around the world should follow suit. Why allow for foreign companies that only have profit in mind without any regards to real life to operate freely? Why leave so much cash and data on the table? "Free market" and "free press" and "free speech" are only fantasies used when they are interesting.. The "american dream" is clearly only designed for americans and american companies.

- const-ness without immutable types

- no null

- no iterator invalidation

- no surprising captures in closures/lambdas

- no "spooky action at a distance"

Yep. TikTok is the only major social media app in the US that does not downrank pro-Palestinian content. No one in the US government cared about TikTok until the latest conflict in Israel. This is the only reason for the ban.
TikTok isn't going away. It's changing owners.

There's existing laws about the citizenship of property owners (broadcase media for example).
I don’t know why you’re being flagged, but your constitutional analysis is wrong.
What if I don't want/can't make the other flight? If I book a hotel for the 20th, and they overbooked and can only give me a room on the 25th, they don't get to keep my money even if I don't want the 25th.
>The DOT rules lay out that passengers will be "entitled to a refund if their flight is canceled or significantly changed, and they do not accept alternative transportation or travel credits offered."

"Alternative transportation or travel credits" it will be, they will be useless. Nothing has fundamentally changed.
Weather accounts for 75% of all airline delays (in the US). That disclaimer is kind of surprising to gloss over.

People who have a good enough memory to recall the dumb things they thought and said at age 19 also laugh.
I think you're right about it being a diversion, but I think it's because the American government specifically does not want to make this into a free speech issue because it would directly undermine American businesses that do exactly the same thing and pose almost exactly the same risk of being weaponised by foreign powers (... as we know they have been already) against American citizens.

If it turns out that maybe "good speech" simply can't counter "bad speech" when the latter is applied with the resources of nation states behind it, that doesn't feel like an argument the government can win (because of 1A).

Ironically, the data collection angle is still critically important for US businesses and limiting the access and use of citizen data would be great for everyone, but it seems very clear that is not on the table for the same reasons.
The stock was at $31. The $80 level was just shortly after the IPO. They paid fair market price

I would be politically illiterate to pretend that a tik tok ban hasn’t been cooking for a long time, but I think the final impetus for this latest, successful push is the youth seeing non-mainstream perspective on the war.
It's pretty obvious the tiktok ban was due to the Israel-Palestine conflict and thus is about restricting US users. It literally got passed in the same bill as Israel funding too.

I got to work with Alex on the precursor to this while I was at Atlassian. He's such a delight to work with. I was a prototyper at the time and I was always surprised about the types of edge cases he would come to me with - things I would have never even considered testing. There's so much work behind the scenes that happens to make these drag and drop interactions feel natural.
You'll be surprised what the Win32 API will accept as a path. You can run 'type \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\OSDataDevice\Windows\win.ini' at a command prompt, and it will succeed. You can even provide a path like that to MS Paint on the command line, and it will happily open the file. But Shell32 (Windows Explorer and File Load/Save dialogs) won't accept that kind of path.

If you substitute Roman wagons for chariots— and assume some tolerances — the rail gauges are based on wheel ruts. Yes, there were lots of gauges—but the one that won out just happened to match up perfectly with the wheel ruts?

No one is saying that the boosters are the same size as the rail gauge. Just the size of the train & train tunnels. As you mention, it’s not a standard size.

But the link and the intuition are the same. Our modern technology standards are based on anachronistic technologies. That was the point of the article.
True but no company has a vested interest in the democratization of investment. IPOs are purely about getting paydays for founders.
This is an article where I think Snopes does a really bad job.

Pretty much every factual allegation in the original article is false, and to cap it all off, actually trying to track down the key assertion--the effect of rail transportation limitations [implied to be caused by history dating back to Roman times] on booster design--indicates to you that it had no relevance whatsoever.

Snopes is accurate in that the track gauge being slightly less than 5' is somewhat correlated with the width of two horses. But the track gauge being slightly less than 5' isn't even relevant to the main claim!
If they are "useless," then people won't "accept" them, and per what you quoted they are entitled to a refund.

Israel can generate chaos on its own quite well, thank you.

About one half (!) of all UNGA emergency special sessions are about its conflicts, for crying out loud. :) This nothingcountry of <10 million people entertains the whole UN for the last 80 years or so almost constantly.

The world has grown by 4 billion people during that time, lol. Most of that time social media did not even exist.
This law does not prevent Americans from reading, viewing, or saying anything. You will still be free to visit TikTok's web client and do that. This prevents US companies from doing business with the company (eg. ads, app distribution, etc).
That's Boeing, not the airline's fault. Don't let Boeing get off, lay the blame at their feet.
I think my new music discovery slowed down because the music distribution system stopped propagating metadata. I discovered a lot of new music by looking at the back of the album cover or CD case and following the threads. Who else has this producer or session musician worked with? Who actually was the songwriter and what else have they done? What other albums are on this label? Now none of that is discoverable from streaming. It's just primary artist and song title--every track is just an isolated data unit apparently not even made by people.
> it's basically like a journal of my life.

From the artist side, apparently during Fleetwood Mac's heyday they were getting up on stage and basically singing about how horrible their relationships with each other were. Whether that's "money for nothing" or "suffering for your art" I'll leave to the band members to say, but Wikipedia notes:

> In 1976, the band was suffering from severe stress. With success came the end of John and Christine McVie's marriage, as well as Buckingham and Nicks's long-term romantic relationship. Fleetwood, meanwhile, was in the midst of divorce proceedings from his wife, Jenny, and had also begun an affair with Nicks. The pressure on Fleetwood Mac to release a successful follow-up album, combined with their new-found wealth, led to creative and personal tensions which were allegedly fuelled by high consumption of drugs and alcohol.

Nothing like a musical star to provide a good corn king/wicker man sacrifice on behalf of society...
An example of what you can implement on top of branded types that I want to share with fellow hackers:

- currencies

You may have some sort of integer representing the number of cents of some currency and you want to avoid doing operations between the wrong currencies (such as adding euros and pesos).

You can create branded types and functions that work on those Euro branded numbers and then decide how to do math on it. Or numbers representing metals and such.

It's useful in other scenarios such as a, idk, strings, you could theoretically brand strings as idk ASCII or UTF-8 or the content of an http body to avoid mixing those up when encoding but I want to emphasize that often many of those hacks are easier to be handled with stuff like dictionaries or tagged unions.

An example of what can be achieved with similar approaches (beware it's oriented for people that are at least amateur practitioners of functional programming) is Giulio Canti's (an Italian mathematician and previously author of t-comb, fp-ts, io-ts, optic-ts, and now effect and effect/schema), the money-ts library:

You have long been entitled to a refund for canceled flights. The new rules regard “substantial delays”.

https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/travel/money-flight-cance...
>Requires airlines to refund?

No. The headline is a lie. See the article:

>The DOT rules lay out that passengers will be "entitled to a refund if their flight is canceled or significantly changed, and they do not accept alternative transportation or travel credits offered."

In other words, evermore useless travel credits will be accepted and nothing will have fundamentally changed.
huh? all this is saying is that if you accept a rebooked flight, you don't also get a refund.

or if they offer you 10k miles or travel credit, and you accept, you don't also get a refund.

the point is, a refund to original form of payment is the default.

please stop posting your misinformed reading of the text through the thread.
They already offer to rebook you. Refund is for the cases where you don't want the flight at all.

Last FM and music neighbors could have solved this.
I think you're reading that backward.

I'm reading it as:

- (think the alt-transport or credits are good) -> accept -> don't get refunded

- (think the alt-transport or credits are worthless) -> do not accept -> get refunded
If they could have raised fares they would have already. Why do you think this rule will make a difference?
2 of my favorite Pandora stations have turned into a mix of the artist’s discog and I suspect it only happened because I liked too many of their songs in the same day. The variety is better in terms of similar artists but I cant say I find much new music this way.

United cancelled a very important flight after delaying it several times during the day. They did not provide me any accomodations or new flights, the lady who was talking to us regarding the situation just left saying "access the app to book a new flight" - I kind of understand her position, it was not her fault but she would be the one getting screamed at by rude passengers. Long story short, I paid for my own accomodation, my own dinner and on the other day I was able to go back to the airport and find someone who helped me get another flight.

When I got back to Brazil I took united to the small claims court and got my money back plus some.

I might if we saw that same propaganda being pushed on US users of TikTok but since we haven't... In fact, I suspect that the minute TikTok started feeding US users Chinese propaganda instead of whatever moronic thing is popular there currently US users would stop using the app and get the mind-numbing bite sized entertainment they crave on other social media platforms.

> If you substitute Roman wagons for chariots— and assume some tolerances — the rail gauges are based on wheel ruts. Yes, there were lots of gauges—but the one that won out just happened to match up perfectly with the wheel ruts?

No, they're not. The wheel ruts should be about 7' apart. The rail gauge is 4'8½", which is far less than that.

But as noted, if you trace the history of 4'8½", it comes from a 4'8" gauge (no longer perfect), and that comes from the existing infrastructure that was used to haul coal out of the mines, which came about in the 18th century, has no relevance to any wheel ruts whatsoever.

(Also, I should point out, there's also a tunnel-free route from Salt Lake City to Florida; just head north and over to Laramie instead of in the Moffat Tunnel. No clue what the actual route used was.)
Playing devil's advocate: you can't block on native apps, and some mobile web browsers don't have extension support.

Also, please avoid ad-hominem ("hilariously limited intellect"); it overshadows what otherwise would be a valid point (enforcing a ban vs. practicing personal habit, critique on blanket statements, etc.)
Right, that's where they should refund you, and now they would be required to.

Before, I think it was a matter where once the airlines had your cash, they were loathe to give it back.
so this must be true for american social media in other countries aswell??? or is it exclusive to tiktok "because communism"?
India banned TikTok in 2020, so this conversation has been going on way before the current conflict in Gaza. Not everything is a conspiracy related to the issues you care about.

Pretty sure US airlines have had to give you refund for canceled flights for years.

https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/travel/money-flight-cance...

> To be clear, passengers flying in the U.S. are already entitled to refunds when a flight is canceled or significantly delayed. No matter the cause — weather-related or not — airlines must pay passengers back for the unused portion of their ticket if the passenger ultimately chooses not to fly. It’s worth noting that the DOT does not define what constitutes a “significant delay.”

It worked for us a few years ago. Eurowings was late and the plane had to land somewhere else, they got us to the destination airport with buses. Then we got 250 EUR comp.
That's not necessarily true. Yes, the change to requiring refunds rather than compensation that airlines can weasel out of raises an airline's cost of cancellation, but passing that cost along to their customers makes them less competitive compared to airlines that have better on-time performance. A refund requirement means they can't have their cake (low fares) and eat it too (shitty on-time performance), and there is real financial disincentive to having terrible reliability...or financial incentive to be more reliable.
Nice. I like the refund more than the vouchers. Good job Biden team:

What I find curious about it though is that it's obviously recognizing the style - it plays 1-2 musicians from the "black" group, then circles into only playing Miller/Goodman/Rat pack and never comes back around to playing the music that I originally was trying to play. If it was behaving the way you are thinking, I'd expect it to mix the two styles.
This is very interesting. I do wonder what process drives the bamboo to form a node. So it's basically a pipe growing on its merry way then slams on the brake and by some means grows a disk 90° to the direction it was growing before it stopped. And that's assuming it stopped growing vertically before it decided it was time for another node.
