Former president. If he were president when people tried to kill him, he wouldn't be eligible to run again.

Also, it was disgruntled right-wingers who tried to kill him, so it's more likely it was his own hateful rhetoric and his own actions (like pedophilia) that motivated the would be assassins.
It’s alright.

It is difficult to say, I’ve never used the product. They don’t describe what it is they are trying to do.

If you want to pipe a Zoom call to a Python process it’s complicated.

Everything else that uses WebRTC, I suppose Python should generate the candidates, and the fake browser client hands over the Python process’s candidates instead of its own. It could use the most basic bindings to libwebrtc.

If the bulk of their app is JavaScript, they ought to inject a web worker and use encoded transforms.

But I don’t know though.

This is not true for Google, at least. I know because I work at Google.

Since it's a hot button conspiracy theorist topic, I need to preface that I don't actually care about the Hunter Biden laptop drama nor the contents of the laptop, but Twitter and Meta actually were told to suppress sharing and discussion of the topic, and they followed orders. It happened. And that's just a recent time that we happen to know about.

Again, I am being told that it's a "concern" but without an explanation. What are the material, concrete harms that can come from China directing the content algo?
That's such a copout deflection; was it FEMA budget? Was it even national funds? The hypocrisy is astounding.

> As soon as you split 1 repo into 2 repos you need to start building tooling to support your 2 repos.

No, not really.

If you're talking about projects for modules and components, all you need is a versioning strategy and release consumable packages of your projects.

If you're talking about services, all you need to do is support versioned APIs and preserve your contracts.

No tooling required. For projects you can even make do with git submodules. For services, all you need to do is update clients of your downstream dependencies.

What problems are you facing, exactly?
Regulation may or may not be that much worse in the EU, but if there are 27 different countries, it adds a lot of uncertainty and legal work as you roll out to each one. GDPR wasn't written until tech winners were already called.

The VC system and network grew out of this existing development in America (of course the capital markets have been there since before tech, as I mentioned). The banking and finance system grew in America for the same reason - a large single-regulator market.

Spotify is basically a US company today - They have huge US offices, and their US subscribers are crucial. It's also a perfect example of a business that doesn't follow the high-fixed-cost-low-ongoing-cost model. They have to pay a license fee for every stream, so they can't amortize their costs across users nearly as well.

SAP is another example of a business that doesn't amortize as well across users - their product is very bespoke per company, and negotiated individually.
The source for "double-blind tokenised attribution exchange models" is this report from July 2024, from the Australian eSafety Commissioner: https://www.esafety.gov.au/sites/default/files/2024-07/Age-A...

They note that existing age verification setups largely either rely on providing ID, or on a combination of manual and automated behavior profiling (face recognition, text classification, reports from other users), both of which have obvious privacy and/or accuracy issues. The "double-blind tokens" point to a summary by LINC explaining how they _could_ be implemented with zero-knowledge proofs, but I could not find an article or a practical implementation (could just be a mistake on my part, admittedly)

At _best_ you end up with a solution in the vein of Privacy Pass - https://petsymposium.org/popets/2018/popets-2018-0026.pdf - but that requires a browser extension, a functioning digital ID solution you can build on top of, and buy-in from the websites.

A couple of comments:

> English in Japan is always about the U.S. Not the U.K, not South Africa, not Singapore.

That is not quite as true as it used to be. The government-approved textbooks (kentei kyōkasho) for elementary and junior-high schools include characters and situations from outside the Inner Circle English-speaking countries more often than they used to, though they still have a slant toward the U.S. and toward white people:

https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jacetkanto/11/0/11_46/_...

I used to subscribe to two Japanese magazines for English educators, Eigo Kyōiku published by a commercial publisher and Shin Eigo Kyōiku published by an organization with a mission focused on democracy and justice in education. The former magazine often had articles with an American focus and photographs of white kids with blond hair, while almost every issue of the latter had a cover photograph of nonwhite children in a developing country and articles emphasizing the diversity of English.

I have been involved with the writing and editing of English textbooks, and there is often a tug-of-war between the Japanese writers and editors who want to emphasize the diversity of English and English speakers and those who prefer to stick to a focus on either the U.S. or U.K.

> I find it interesting that, your article doesn't mention on the Japan's political dependence and subordination to the United States.

That is an important topic, and I should have mentioned it as a major reason for the exclusive focus on English. Maybe I can discuss the issue in more detail in another article.
Then say that. In the document.
this person specifically mentioned CSAM. They brought it up to complain about it being intrusive. You're defending someone who is bringing up and complaining about child porn detection when nobody was talking about it. you're defending a person who shouldn't be defended because what they are upset with is companies trying to combat CSAM.

good luck with that

> My only counter argument here, is when those 4 things deploy independently.

This brings us to the elephant in the room: monorepo strategies are just naive and futile attempts at fixing the problems created by an absolute lack of support for versioning.

If you support versioning, you don't care where and how you store your code. You just push the changes you need to push, and make sure you bump versions to reflect the nature of your changes. Consumers are left with the responsibility of picking which to consume, and when to consume it.

Yeah the big difference is that Nvidia really is the top dog, in any way you look at it, they simply make better hardware.
And even if you add value/cost into the mix, they still do very well, even their highest performing products.

Apple is better at some stuff but it's really not total domination and you really need to look at things in a very particular way to think they are indisputably better.
If you add value/cost, everything falls apart and it really becomes: if you have cash, you can buy that stuff that is going to be much better at this very specific use case.

It's even true for their headphones where the only thing they are better at is integration in their own system, everything else is passably competitive but if you look for value it's just plain bad.
I had AirPods, I find it amazing how much better the Nothing Ears are for the cost, if you don't care about the Apple ecosystem (the "magic" gimmicks never worked that well for me anyway).

I think rather than experimenting with fabbing on Mars, you would probably be better off sending an absurd amount of CPUs from Earth. A 300mm wafer weighs 150 grams and can fit 30k Raspberry Pi Nano CPUs on it, 2mm^2 on 40nm.

If you send up a wafer per person, which can be laser cut and placed into more easily constructed electronics locally, you've got hundreds of years to solve the fab problem in a worst case, Earth no longer exists situation.

Trump's FCC approved ATSC 3.0, which allows bradcasters to put DRM on their over the air TV broadcasts. Decryption requires a license and internet connection. I run into this every time I use my TV now. This is not only inconvenient, it makes me less safe in the event of an emergency.

The FCC should not have allowed this to happen on the public's airwaves, but I expect more of the same in Trump's second term.
I believe that reason is increasing at a higher pace in the last few years and will only keep increasing. Japan continues to bring in more foreigners both for work and as tourists, and their usual tactics of dealing with foreigners and other "problems" by cutting off the nose to spite the face (Gion, Mt Fuji Lawson, Shibuya Halloween etc.) won't work forever.
I am not convinced Git submodules are so bad. Obviously it's a bit more work than a monorepo but it actually works quite nice to have the parent repo pin the commits of the submodules. So you can just update, say, the "frontend" when fixing a bug, update the submodule and commit the hash to the parent. lgtm.

i just had a silly idea. around 100 years ago there used to be these devices you'd put a scroll in and it would scroll it[0]. the use i saw for it was maps, in cars. you'd insert like interstate 10 scroll #N for whatever section you were on, and as you passed mile markers or exits you'd scroll it. i hope this explains it.

So the idea is to replicate that and use receipt paper, and thermal or what, dot matrix print onto the roll of paper your tweet stream. then you get something like those plastic M&M bottles, pill bottle, 35mm film bottle (boy i am full of ancient tech ideas)...

>> They don't want an adversary to have control.

> Is the "adversary" claim not undermined by them being a primary trade partner?

It is not. I have difficulty imagining your question is not founded on feigned ignorance.

China is an adversary of the US. Some optimistic and naive Western politicians in the 90s thought making them a "primary trade partner" would cause political changes that would eliminate the rivalry. They were wrong, and weakened their countries in the process. That's been clear for like ten years. Now their mistake needs to be dealt with.

Um, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Yahoo, YouTube, Skype, and AOL are/were PRISM Service Providers and I’d argue that they all receive(d) equal (+/- 5%) concern and scrutiny from those world governments.

> They can afford to resist legal demands from countries they don't respect because they have nothing to lose from denying them access.

Are you talking about the cloud providers I listed above? From my perspective, those guys all tend to honor the demands of any state that offers a statistically significant percentage of current/potential consumers, regardless of the demand. Perhaps they have some bright spots where they “did the right thing” (like refusing to unlock a device, or refusing to provide access to private data) but by and large they all—including Apple—are subject to the rules of the states within which they operate.

> Apple has not demonstrated that they have the willingness to resist this unlawful coercion, even recently.

Ten years ago, Apple refused demands by the FBI to unlock the iPhones of various suspects. Four years ago they did the same during the Pensacola Naval Base shooting investigation. I would guess there’s plenty of other examples but I’ve not been watching that stuff much over the past couple years. Were those instances just cherry-picked for marketing purposes? Maybe, but until someone shows me compelling evidence that Apple is /not/ acting in good faith towards both their consumers and the governments under which they operate, I see no reason to believe that they’re “lying about this one too”.

I do keep a salt-encrusted spoon nearby when reading about these things but that doesn’t mean I refuse to trust someone who has demonstrated what appears to me a good-faith effort to keep my privacy intact. Maybe what Apple is doing with PCC is just security theater; I doubt it but I also recognize that marketing and technology are often in conflict so we must always be cautious. But the important thing, both to me and GP, is that none of the other cloud providers have offered (whether it be sane and intelligent privacy controls or just snake oil-like scams) any solution beyond “encrypt your data before you upload it to the cloud”.

> Sort of; at medium scale you can blue/green your whole system out of the monorepo (even if its say 20 services) in k8s and flip the ingresses to cut over during release.

That's overall a bad idea, and negates the whole point of blue-green deployments. This is particularly bad if you have in place any form of distributed transaction.

There are very good reasons why deployment strategies such as rolling deployments and one-box deployments were developed. You need to be able to gradually roll out a change to prevent problems from escalating and causing downtime. If you use all that infrastructure to then flip global switches then you're building up all this infrastructure to the negate any of that with practices that invariably cause problems.

And this is being done just because someone thinks it's a good idea to keep all code in a single repo?
