Forgetting the 99 WTO protests? going into the 00s there were scores of cancellations and career ending events during the early years of the Iraq war. Remember Bill Maher, the dixie chicks etc.?

Also consider, it was more difficult to organize due to lack of ubiquitous broadband and tooling. Now with the democratization of information and tooling to organize protests (things like Slack, Discord, Google Docs sharing features all running on a super computer in everyones pocket) it has grown in scope.

Finally Gen Y and Gen Z took different paths. Gen Y graduated into the new great depression, got duped by Obama's Hope and Change, and then when they finally got back on track headed right into the post-pandemic economy. GenZ never had any illusions given what they saw their older siblings go through.
I understand were you are coming from but I actually like the explicit error handling in Golang. Things being explicit reduces complexity for me a lot and I find it easier to spot and resolve potential issues. It's definitely something that I can understand not working for everyone.

I agree on the logging point but my experience was the explicit error handling and with good test coverage meant we rarely got into situations were we had non-deterministic situation were we relied extensively on logging to resolve. But we also went through several iterations of tuning how we logged errors. It's definitely a rough edge in what is readily available in the language.

Modern EV Batteries Rarely Fail: Study
All other countries have heavily state sponsored economies. We just call them "subsidies", "research grants", "tax rebates" etc.

Many industries wouldn't be where they are without decades long government intervention, and govs will also apply extra scrutiny on who owns which company, and pick up the winners as needed for national interests.

China is the most transparent about it, but being transparent and being the most engaged in it are two different things.

To be clear, I think that's just the natural state of things. Real free markets are chaos and we want countries to actually think about where they're going.

I still don't get why after all this investment in AI Spotify can't just give me a seamless never ending stream of music. I need to keep selecting from playlists they generate which often repeat some songs extremely often. All I want from a Spotify interface is play/pause/skip/like/dislike. Then use those to continuously adapt the selection of the next song. If you want to be fancy add a warmup mode where you ask me some questions or show me some songs to like/dislike for that particular moment so that the initial selections start warmer. If I had that I could explore a lot more music. Because I don't I end up just listening to the greatest hits of things I remember and then that further pollutes the dataset to the point where my musical tastes must stagnate.
It's not a criminal trial. The US doesn't have to prove that TikTok did anything. They merely need to show a compelling interest in restricting its future actions.

You mean the same source code? Because... I agree. That's why it's important for the source to be open. Both in the context of software and language models.
Its accepting donations from PACs and corporations. This is outlawed elsewhere as "bribes". If the politician goes against what the donor says they get nothing the next time around at the best(so now they needs to raise money elsewhere) and at the worst the donor funds their opponent.

There are a handful of politicians that refuse to take any corporate PAC money (The Squad, Sanders etc.) instead electing to only take small dollar donations from regular people. Its reasonable that you will take money from the people you are elected to serve, not corporations and superpacs. There have been attempts to just get money out of politics altogether and instead introduce a general fund from taxes to pay out the expenses of running for office while banning all other forms of donations. That would be the best because it gives even small time people a chance.

For people who want to purchase the album, they can purchase the entire album, or none of it.

Before this, the European polity were stuck in this "End of History" mindset where great power conflict was a relic from the past and everything could be solved through negotiation and institutions. The sooner laypeople realize we're in the Second Cold War (as the foreign policy types have) the less these kinds of moves (banning TikTok, restricting Nvidia exports to China) will come as a surprise, and you may even start to appreciate them.

This is just not my experience at all.

I have 12-14 year old gamer nieces and nephews. They simply don't care about VR.

Even at a family gathering with the host having a Quest, no one cares to even try it out.

It was just absolutely nothing to do them.

Personally, I have been waiting for VR since the early 90s and the Lawnmower Man.

With having no interest in games, my experience is exactly the same as my nieces and nephews. Just a whole lot of nothing. I almost wonder if people who post things like this are not some kind of viral marketing because this is just not reality.
Yeah, the TikTok ban isn't about restricting content for US users, it's about restricting the data vacuum that is the PRC. TikTok has already been banned for Govmnt employees for years. And, for good reason.

Sometimes, we have to remind ourselves that our government is not the bad guy. The bad guys are the bad guys; and those bad guys aren't often bad to their own kind.

When it comes to major national security interests, the spirit of the law can be more important than the letter. The law can always be changed, and the eventual outcome will often be worse after each rewrite.

Consider the sanctions against Russia, for example. Some European companies continued doing business in Russia. Everything they did was perfectly legal, and they complied with the sanctions to the letter. But because some officials considered those companies were aiding the Russian war effort, the next round of US sanctions targeted those companies specifically. Then they had to stop all business indefinitely, because no bank was willing to deal with them anymore.

This doesn’t match my personal experience at all. I hardly liked any of the music I heard on the radio as a teenager. (That would be the 90’s). Later on, I found that I liked the current music better- and there are still songs from my 20’s that I come back to. But each decade I discover new artists, I stay with those records for a while, then they start sounding dated and I move on. I do put deliberate effort into discovering new artists though. And, I’m a musician myself so maybe that’s part of it. I really listen to almost nothing from my teenage years though. There is such an incredible amount of new music coming out every day that it’s hard to keep up with it! Right now I’m listening to 100 gecs a lot, childish gambino, narrow head, ohtis, thee oh sees, fazerdaze, and wimps.

Anybody who really just gets stuck on music from their teens is missing out on so much I can’t even express it.
> TikTok isn't violating any US laws.

Not a very good argument. This post is literally about the signing of the "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act".

The loophole which is being closed is allowing foreign adversaries to control your social media apps.

It will be in violation if it doesn't sell.

Is it weird then that China is a "foreign adversary" that is otherwise allowed to sell the US the vast, overwhelming majority of consumer goods and participate in the economy in many other ways?
Sure, there are absolutely people helping make it happen but we each have to accept our due blame for allowing and accepting it.

Companies won't make products that no one will buy. Bosses can't fill roles that no one is willing to take. Executives won't keep their job if employees choose to leave the company rather than work for them.
I was about to ask how "foreign adversary" is defined, thanks. Nice to have it official.
True, the apps are all basically converging.
In case they failed.
From the point of view of users I don't think anyone cares who owns it, they would just care that the product continues to exist. In that sense if they divest it is not a ban at all.

Maybe you mean something like this “study” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/tiktok-data-suggests-al... which concludes with “kinda maybe looks like they could possibly favor Chinese interest”. Doing a study and putting out a headline is all it takes to poison the public opinion and exactly what I would expect from the social media companies foaming at the mouth losing market share.

The wording I have seen is congress had a internal meeting about the potential security concerns that could be involved (very likely with every app).

Same. I'm not a fan of the recent licensing changes and probably won't use it for any new installations, but Nomad enabled me to be an entire ops team AND do all my other startupy engineer duties as well with minimal babysitting. It really just works, and works fantastically for what it is. Nomad is like the perfect mix of functional and easy to manage.

I mean, I’m happy to see tiktok removed from app stores for the same reasons as I’d be happy to see any social media apps be removed from app stores, so from that perspective, I don’t think it matters that I haven’t used tiktok unless it’s somehow exempt from the problems that are endemic to social media apps.

"The little info box about the interviewer at the end of the article tells you all you need to know."

That is a very round-about way of saying something negative about this article. Why not say straight out what you think is wrong with it? Why not? Maybe because it is easier for some people to agree with you when you don't present any actual facts.

What does that little info-box say? And why do you think that is ALL we need to know?

> GCP is separate from Google. While they're both Alphabet subsidiaries, the pot of money used by GCP is separate from the pot of money used by the Pixel team (within Google).

> Kurien doesn't report to Pichai and vice versa.

This is patently false. Thomas Kurian reports directly to Sundar Pichai, who is both the CEO of Google as well as Alphabet.

While Kurian likes to refer to himself as the CEO of Google Cloud, that's as much a vanity title as Susan Wojcicki's former title of "CEO of YouTube" -- neither has been an independent company during their tenure, under the Alphabet umbrella or otherwise. (YouTube was once an independent company... pre-acquisition almost 20 years ago.) All Google Cloud employees are Google employees, just as all YouTube employees are Google employees.

> This falls under "competitive intelligence" which ISN'T treated as corporate espionage legally, because you are extrapolating data from sources.

I never said it was corporate espionage. However, it is potentially anti-competitive behavior to use data (market research, whatever you want to call it) from one product to boost another. (Context matters.)

Are you familiar with the EU's Digital Markets Act, which recently went into effect? Google is designated as one of the "gatekeepers" by the European Commission, and the act itself reads:

> The gatekeeper shall not use, in competition with business users, any data that is not publicly available that is generated or provided by those business users in the context of their use of the relevant core platform services or of the services provided together with, or in support of, the relevant core platform services, including data generated or provided by the customers of those business users.

While GCP and other cloud platforms have not yet been explicitly designated as core platform services by the European Commission, it's only a matter of time before that happens.
It’s a trade war, or a counter to propaganda from a hostile foreign nation. If social media can’t operate in China, why should we allow CCP owned and operated social media companies operate in the US?
Another reason could be: many are not sympathetic to the America's claims that these foreign platforms are at the whims of a country it is at odds with and which have repeatedly demonstrated covert abilities to change American's perception.

Speaking with some younger American co-workers in the past, their suspicion/hatred of their own country is astounding to see and it seems to have coincidentally begun after TikTok entered US market a few months before US elections.

So the worry seems to be that young American voters exposed to a foreign social platform will influence upcoming elections. I do not think this is far fetched as multiple countries have come out to expose various tactics by certain countries to influence perception.
I'm still a bit cranky about that, but because objects should be good enough for anyone. They aren't even really classes anyway.

Can you run a prediction on how the content on Tiktok will change in the coming 12 months or if Bytedance does indeed sell to this consortium?

Will it start to lean towards the nonsense we are seeing with Meta platforms? (Limiting Pro-Palestinian voices, boosting Pro-Israel content).
