China could win so much goodwill internationally if it just stopped threatening to invade Taiwan. You'd think the CPC would have learned from Europe's divorce from Russia but they still continue to choose belligerence at all costs. It's deeply hurting their image on the global stage and will only continue to isolate them economically and politically.
You sure? People are pretty dumb. Wasn’t there a research article recently suggesting that people who aren’t concentrating aren’t general intelligences?
When users are not using AI in the Cloud but AI on their PC they are benefitting about as much as such a service online would cost. MS is then able to somehow take part of that saved money, perhaps by selling users more high-end apps which can run local-only on users' PC, and thus save users money they would otherwise spend on data-center services. Parts of that saved money must trickle to MS, because its software is what is producing that value.
Seems like a bit of an extreme reaction for porn (both Kidron's but also yours)
I believe this military exercise is a response by the PRC to the inauguration speech by Lai. Lai essentially stated that the PRC-controlled mainland and ROC-controlled Taiwan are both sovereign, whereas the previous Taiwan president, Tsai, from the same party, used more ambiguous language regarding sovereignty and only emphasized governance (Yes, there are a lot of nuances in the wording of this relationship). This statement can be construed as an attempt to change the status quo. (We are referring to a third-party definition of the status quo, because the official PRC stance is that Taiwan is part of China, so even taking Taiwan by force is not considered a change of the status quo.) The PRC likely waited to see Lai's speech, checked if it aligned with Tsai's rhetoric, and prepared a response accordingly.

I think Lai's speech was not the most extreme because it contained little mention of "democracy vs. autocracy," which is something even the current US administration would find provocative. However, this speech would still warrant a response from the PRC, at least from the perspective of internal PR, because it differs from Tsai's approach, and they cannot let it go unnoticed.
Until organisations start to treat people as valued employees rather than disposable cogs whose only value is to make investors richer, this will continue.
What is there to add? People have a growing need to make and express choices about hastening unavoidable eventualities. Willing service providers need legal protections and the ability to document a person’s choices. In Switzerland this has grown into a minor tourist industry.

How many of them are gonna stick around once their instance goes offline, or the admin does something crazy (which isn't impossible considering how many of these are ran as personal/fun projects by geeks rather than actual businesses), or their instance gets into a feud with the others and results in defederation?

All of this is overhead. It's overhead that can be managed, or you can pay someone to manage it for you, but it's still overhead and extra problems that just don't exist when you can instead sign up for Instagram or Twitter and call it a day.

In order for a state to make KYC equitable for all people the legislation should lay out government infrastructure for providing the KYC verification. Having the private market do it is just a way to secretly disenfranchise huge segments of the population giving them no possible recourse for false positive rejections.

This proposal's end results will be banks and other corporations doing the KYC and those types of corporations will mistakenly deny service to tens of thousands of people in order to prevent one actual real positive from making it through.

Google did a good job summarizing Epic's proposal, and Epic's proposal sure sounds great for me if I'm an Android user! I can't wait, thanks Epic!

In all seriousness, Google has been spending a lot of time and energy to make everything far worse, not better, for the user. With every update the user is another step further from actually owning their device. While Google is _strictly better than Apple_ in this department, they have been removing knobs left and right for a while now. I need to use _adb_ to properly back up files, which is totally insane, and I am sure they will close that hole soon. I can't root my devices either as many apps then refuse to run properly without full end-to-end validation that they are running within the Google Play Trust Zone of Freedom.

I can't argue that Google isn't making things better for App Developers, though. The ability to _prove_ an app is unmodified and running in a secure context is mighty powerful. If you don't want me to muck with app data, I understand. But at least let me at least disable the protections if I so choose.

On MacOS you have SIP, and neither MacOS nor SIP are not without problems and annoyances, but at least, for now, you can turn it off temporarily. I can't believe we have less control with Android than with MacOS. What a disgrace.

And lastly, Epic's proposed remedies are most definitely not bad for _everyone_ but Epic. They might actually be good for everyone but Google.

True, they can't renegotiate agreements that don't yet exist.

However the fact that the corporate leadership could even make those threats to not-yet-departed employees indicates that something is already broken or missing in the legal relationship with current ones.

A simple example might for the company to clearly state in their handbook--for all current employees--that vested shares cannot be clawed back.
Unless your neighbors are convicts or something, they have access to the legislative process. If you're doing something on your property that annoys enough of your neighbors, those neighbors call in to a local representative, an ordinance gets passed, police show up if you keep doing it. This can and does happen. Maybe you live in a county that's really lax, but still there are local laws in place that got there pretty much exactly by some neighbors getting together and bugging their representative.

"The IWS may also be prescribed using a self-selected wall squat, with a knee joint angle that would elicit a rate of perceived exertion (RPE) of 3.5–4.5/10 for bout 1; RPE 5–6/10 for bout 2; RPE of 6.5–7.5/10 for bout 3 and RPE of 8–9/10 for bout 4"

So it is 2 minutes per round, but probably at much higher than thighs parallel.

If you need to do graphql in typescript, you still "learning a new language". If you're using Prisma or you doing css-in-js, or rxjs, or tRPC, or Cypress, you're still "learning a new language".

You're basically moving from having to understand one (seemingly arbitrarily composed) syntax to another (seemingly arbitrarily composed) syntax. While I learned Clojure syntax once, and now only have to learn paradigms and techniques - logic, pattern-matching, concurrency, reactive dataflow, polymorphic dispatch, metaprogramming, event-driven programming, state management, etc. etc.

My hope is that I never have to use TypeScript, Go, or Rust daily since Clojure already gives me everything I need to write programs. It simply makes much better sense for the type of programs I'm writing today. Someday that may change, but I doubt that any of those would suddenly start making better sense to use. It probably will be something else, not these.

> The Sherman Antitrust Act is one paragraph long

The original Sherman Act has 7 sections (one additional was later added) one of which has two subsections, none of which have multiple paragraphs, for a total of 8 paragraphs.

More to the point, US antitrust law isn't just the Sherman Act and case law, because:

1. There are two other main antitrust-related statutes, the Clayton Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act, and

2. The FTC Act as well as its direct mandates also creates regulatory authority for the FTC,

3. In addition to federal antitrust law in the US, there is also state antitrust law.

> But judges care way more about constitutional amendments than Sherman Antitrust Act.

I'm not sure what the bases for your intuition about how much judges care about those things are; there is certainly a sense in which Constitutional provisions definitionally have priority over statute and administrative law, but its hardly as if antitrust law isn't an area that has gotten extremely detailed judicial attention.

Unfortunately the garbage is spreading.

It's less due to politics and more due to the rotten business models of all mainstream social media - it encourages engagement (algorithmically, so it doesn't even need human intention/decisions), it just turns out that political content is great at generating engagement and thus it floats to the top.

Various actors take advantage of this for various reasons (including political motivations) but the underlying problem is that the platform itself will promote any content as long as it generates engagement.

> If an app has permissions to work as an app stores, it should already be able to query installed packages, no?

They say "any and all third party app stores." Does that include app stores the user hasn't installed?

Google may collect a massive amount of data, but virtually none of it ever leaves Google. I believe, but I'm not sure, that requests to use data collected about users has to pass through something like a Google equivalent to a IRB, and strictly only used in aggregate ways or anonymized?

Google does not tell anyone what apps you install (though they also don't prevent apps you install from collecting and reporting what apps you have installed...) Third parties could do whatever they want.

That said, Android app permissions are so permissive, anyone using Android effectively doesn't have much privacy from third parties to begin with. It's why I switched to iOS - apps are much more restricted in terms of what data it's even possible to collect, and you even have a lot of control over many types of data provided to Apple (for example, you can turn off WiFi geolocation collection, traffic data collection, etc. It's great for battery life and data savings!)

All three of the main US federal antitrust laws (Sherman Act, Clayton Act, and FTC Act) have neen amended since originally adopted, and the FTC act also creates regulatory authority which the FTC has regularly exercised. Even ignoring case law evolution, US antitrust law hasn't been static.
