It's more like:

- Congress is allowed to delegate to the executive (agencies)

- but if an agency goes so far in beyond the original understanding of its delegation as to cause a major political controversy, then it has overstepped its mandate

For example, if Congress were to delegate to the EPA the power to ban internal combustion engines at the EPA's choice, then the EPA could absolutely do that. (Perhaps Congress couldn't if the court revisits Wickard, who knows, but if Congress could, then so could EPA). But if Congress were to pass a bill regarding clean air and decades later the EPA decides that a clean air mandate means the EPA can ban ICEs, then that would clearly be a major question (well, today it would be; maybe in another two decades it wouldn't be), the courts would not (today) allow such a regulation, and EPA would have to go ask Congress to ban ICEs or to delegate that authority to the EPA.

> This feels like a recipe for the unelected branch (the courts) to run everything.

If the courts were to decide that EPA can't ban ICEs under the Clean Air Act but that the courts can, that would be pretty insane. Perhaps before Chevron the courts sometimes did that sort of thing, but they wouldn't now if Chevron is reversed because this SCOTUS absolutely does not want that and will write an opinion that reflects that -- that much is clear. So I think this is hyperbole. Instead if Chevron is reversed, and together with W. Virginia vs. EPA, "major questions" will not be decided by the courts -- major questions would go undecided as long as Congress leaves them undecided, with the status quo preserved. That would not be a bad outcome!
Seriousy? They have higher daily active users than X??

I'm really surprised to hear that. I don't really use either but wow.

Of course Meta is doing everything to make Threads work, and Elon is doing everything to burn X to the ground, there's that :P But yes it is impressive.
Give it a try. It's weird, fun, educational, stupid. It's whatever you make of it. Is it also whatever China wants you to make of it? Maybe. But they could do the same thing with news, TV, or movies.

I think it's three things:

1. The hangover in tech caused by post-Covid overhiring and layoffs, as well as negative sentiment surrounding inflation over the last year feels like it's ending or at least calming down - somewhere between lower staffing spend internally and a rosier feeling economy, people feel a higher valuation makes sense.

2. Meta's riding and part of leading a general tide that's lifting all tech boats due to hype in the AI space surrounding recent LLM developments. Meta successfully releasing frontier models in the space shows they're capable of being a crucial player in the space and still have the talent internally to compete with other big players if they so choose, although thus far they've felt content with releasing free models as a broad-side attack on their competitors' moats. The market additionally wants to cost in the non-trivial possibility that these technologies will either receive massive uptake across other industries, or the possibility the tech's power and intelligence will massively improve in the next few years, potentially even to the level of something approximating or beating an average intellectual human at knowledge work, which would make all these tech companies making this technology very, very rich.

3. Focus in the company appears to be shifting back towards their core competencies of social media technologies, taking ground from Tiktok with new offshoots such as shorts with Reels, and as described above, their AI projects, which all feels like a return to form after their mostly ill-fated VR and metaverse projects, which are now being de-emphasized. This is felt as boding well for the company's future growth prospects, as those projects felt like dead-ends.
Never. Red Hat is focused on Ansible.

You are, unintentionally, being the very sort of apologist my post above complained about.
it doesn't have to be owned by a US company; it just can't be owned by a Chinese company (or another country deemed adversarial to the US).
What different things do you think it is trying to be?
it will have to be bought by a US company. The US company will have to be connected to the govt. The gears are already turning to make sure it happens just like they planned. Why else is Steve interested??

In LA where I live, it’s the opposite. There are 14 million people in metro LA area. A 2h daily commute is on the average side. Some of my colleagues would drive north of 3h. Per day. 5 days a week. About 660 hours per year. Spent in a car, constantly endangered, paying for gas, polluting their own biosphere to the point of guaranteed impact on lifespan.

No thank you.

It would blow my mind to see people in Bentleys on my commute. Hard for me to imagine having enough money for such a car and not deciding to avoid the inhumane agony of forced commute.
The thing that ticks me off is that there hasn't been conclusive evidence that actually justifies this ban. I'd be perfectly happy if the CIA came out with documents of how the data goes to China, but all I've seen is evidence to the contrary (e.g. servers in US, headquarters in SG etc).
If I'm wrong, I'd gladly look at some linked articles of course.
Also - just don't use Spotify. It has a UX that is just consistently opposed to album-centric listening. Or any sort of focused listening, really.

There are alternatives. Apple music is fine. Tidal + Roon is also pretty good.

For discovering music, Roon provides a much more album-centric way to browse and learn about different albums and genres. I use that combined with subreddits for particular genres and good old fashioned album reviews and artist interviews.
You have no idea how little artists make from selling music on platforms. The money is in the live performances and merchandise.

I'll relent and admit that some of the people might knowingly have acted in the interest of the CCP, because you surely cannot be saying that it is not in the CCP's interest to avoid TikTok's divestment.
I left Red Hat a bit after the IBM acquisition, and in my experience the management bullshittery was encroaching about a year after the deal closed. I hear their sales team are all frustrated and leaving due to IBM’s interference in Red Hat deals.
Uhm, the term “hacker” in this context, is, itself, just a coded way of saying “cool developer in the same circles as me”.

Again, HN users are in a bubble, and HN users think that they’re very trendy.
There was a time when SXSW released one track from each featured artist on a massive torrent. That kept me going on new music for nearly the entire year. Repeat.

Nope, heteroscedasticity.
No. It's about whether or not we're hypocrites regarding freedom of the press and freedom of speech, as well as the overall freedom of business.

This is what sovereignty looks like to you? It looks like totalitarianism to me.
"Forced sale" is interesting, because it assumes that a Chinese company would allow itself to be forced to sell. If TikTok refuses, the government either has to admit that they have no power to force a sale or actually ban access to the service, or they have to start demanding that app stores remove the app, and DNS providers stop resolving the website, and that ISPs start blocking the IPs. This would become a complete shitshow pretty much instantly.
If you look one November before that (Nov 2021), it was at $340. What did people believe that caused Meta to fall 74% to $90?

There was a general market correction which hit the whole market. Then the market recovered. Meta was hit particularly hard in the correction because.... reasons? Market eventually thought the Metaverse investments were a total waste of time and that Meta product usage would fall (in favor of TikTok).

Meta also had deep layoffs, which caused their profits to soar.
I'm not genz but I use tiktok. You need to give it a try. All of the comments on here from people who don't use it are bizarre.

We can be skeptical, but not afraid of foreign owned media.
also, why be in stealth for such an obvious product? There are dozens of recently launched well funded competitors in addition to all the incumbents that have added similar features.
Acerola and Sebastian Lague are two of my favorites too, good taste!
1 year before it was worth $90, it was worth $340. Asset prices are cyclical, go figure.
US lawmakers are deeply concerned that TikTok might exploit some of the data they collect on their users,

...yet they turn a blind eye to the fact that GM not only collected driving data on their users, apparently in some cases without consent, but they sold it to others, including auto insurers, who used the information to increase the insurance rates of those who were spied on.

Why does this sound like “famous last words”?
IBM is essentially a large bank with a side business of tech. IBM is known for financially complex deals that are highly lucrative. They make their money by taking advantage of inefficiencies in the largest enterprises purchasing and technology teams.
Well I will immediately be pivoting my company off of their products.
Since we are already being controversial, can we simply ban or regulate all short videos -- similar to the duration cap the Chinese government put up for gaming for people less than 18? My wife has been doom scrolling for hours every day.

At least get something good in return. Even if Tiktok decides to leave US, there are a whole lot of other short video apps that can fill in the blank.
Right? I wonder what this will offer?

Marginal improvement over GitHub CoPilot or Cursor?
I think this first happened when Miami Vice came out on DVD. They couldn't afford the licensing rights for the music (from Peter Gabriel, etc.) so they just replaced the music with something else, to the detriment of the show. Now, many years later this kind of thing is still happening. Culture is being destroyed and artists are apparently happy to let their legacy disappear if they are not getting paid for it.
Since song have no time limit, and notes can be combined in numerous ways to form chords, there is no limit to the number of melodies. And that's before you consider musical temperaments.
Technical topics are inherently more granular and less relatable/understandable than broad sociopolitical actions or news. Especially on a site that rewards submission traction and comment traction above all else, the most-rewarded behavior becomes whoever is best at submitting sensationalist content.

That, and it would seem that a non-insignificant portion of the top submitters just hit the share button from whatever is at the top of Apple News in the morning. Those high-volume ritualistic submissions tend to outweigh the "this is a small cool thing I found" posts 100:1.
After having written probably over 100k lines of Go code, my impression is that Go is simple, but not easy. The language has very few features to learn, but that results in a lot of boilerplate code and there are more than a few footguns burried in the language itself. (My favorite [1])

I find it very hard to write expressive, easy to read code and more often than not I see people using massive switch-case statements and other, hard to maintain patterns instead of abstracting away things because it's so painful to create abstractions. (The Terraform/OpenTofu codebase is absolutely guilty of this btw, there is a reason why it's over 300k lines of code. There is a lot of procedural code in there with plenty of hidden global scope, so getting anything implemented that touches multiple parts typically requires a lot of contortions.)

It's not a bad language by any stretch, but there are things it is good at and things it is not really suited for.

Spaces in filenames in the command line on Windows is a horror in part because there is no kernel level equivalent of argv. In the eyes of the Windows kernel, the command line is an unparsed utf-16 string, and it's up to the application or C library to tokenize it. This means there is no standard way to tokenize it. Ultimately, this means there is no standard way to escape a shell command's arguments, as you would need to do for spaces. Most people just put it in double quotes but this is pretty much the honor system.
Does Helldivers 2 have a LAN mode? The first one didn't.

Funnily enough, Haskell[0] doesn't... unless you ask it to by explicitly asking for it via Typable[1].

Yeah, it's rather annoying that I needed to root my phone to fix KDE Connect's clipboard access. That's the only workaround I've needed for years, though. The (relatively recent) changes Google made to the app store API made my life a whole lot easier now that F-Droid can actually update packages without root access.

As long as the existing manual overrides (going through the settings and toggling the permission) still exists, I don't see much of a problem.

Honest question: what's stopping them from being transferred to a Belizean shell company owned by a company in Delaware with a board full of puppets who blindly do the bidding of the previous owners? Do the CxOs need to be replaced? Are Chinese senior staff members being replaced? Low level staff? What concrete changes are going to be made that will change their behavior?

I oppose this bill because it doesn't seem to do anything to address the actual threats posed by social media. After all, foreign adversaries openly operate on Facebook. Why isn't Zuckerberg being forced to divest? Either all social media is a threat, and that threat needs to be addressed, or this is all theater meant to satisfy the population without tackling the actual issues (if we are honest, the same politicians pushing for this bill benefit from social media influence) .
I am also doubting his claim that he had several students land without assistance on the first try. I have had a few students land with minimal assistance on the first try but I am quite sure that the airplane would be damaged had I refrained from making a couple of minor corrections. Some of those students were very talented (one soloed at 7 hours and went on to fly for Jet Blue eventually, of course this had little to do with my instruction) but they still needed a little bit of help the first time.

The sheer scale combined with the density combined with the mismanagement and history, as a few examples. I imagine if I lived in London or Paris or Tokyo I'd probably feel just as partial to their unique intricacies. I was recently in Milan and found their public transit system similar and equally interesting. The fact that entire lines were created and then summarily removed, only to be rebuilt decades later in some cases, or turned into green space in others, continues to surprise me.

The only thing more hilarious than these articles is how funny it will be when the companies either close because they can't possibly solve "Most companies are dissatisfied with the programs they produce and consume; software is too often fragile" as a problem set or they don't make enough money to justify the $1B valuation (and rising!).
