> The incentives of ad-driven search engines are to keep the visitors on the search engine rather than direct them to the source.

It's more complicated than that. Google's incentives are to keep the visitors on the search engine only if the search result doesn't have Google ads. Though it's ultimately self-defeating I think, and the reason for their decline in perceived quality. If you go back to the backrub whitepaper from 1998, you'll find Brin and Page outlining this exact perverse incentive as the reason why their competitors sucked.
What if Congress passed a law that said "The New York Times must shut down unless all foreign owners divest"?

This already exists in some ways. Foreign companies are not allowed to own American broadcasters. That's why Rupert Murdoch had to become a (dual?) American citizen when he wanted to own Fox television stations in the United States.

I'm not an accountant, but my understanding is that accounting guiding principles say that the answer is B.

But that's only because the example is over-simplified, and assumes that the labor & feed benefit both wool & mutton equally.

They don't. For example, a lot of the labor cost will be in the shearing. That should be allocated completely to wool, right? Not so fast, if you don't shear your sheep your meat production will be affected so even farmers that raise sheep for mutton will still shear their sheep. So there is no correct answer in a real-world situation. rahimnathwani is correct.
You should check out Radix UI (https://www.radix-ui.com/). Same idea as headless ui, but it doesn't assume that you will use Tailwind. I _think_ they add css classes to all of their components to allow you to choose any styling method you want, but I'm usually working with ShadCN (which is one level up and uses tailwind).

Though, I'll say that I agree with OP that a lot of functionality already exists within HTML and browsers.
> This is going to be an interesting experiment: A widely used social network across the world WITHOUT american content.

China has had such social networks for a long time. Their Weibo and Xiaohongshu are two prominent examples. Weibo started as a copycat of Twitter, but then beats Twitter hands-down with faster iterations, better features, and more vibrant user engagement despite the gross censorship imposed by the government.

My guess is that TT can still thrive without American content, as long as other governments do not interfere as the US did. A potential threat to TT is that the US still has the best consumer market, so creators may still flock to a credible TT-alternative for better monetization, thus snatching away TT's current user base in other countries.
It might not even be about fire suppression. Oxygen and different gases can pool oddly in different types of gravity. If oxygen was leaking, it may be as simple as making sure a vacuum de-gases a chamber before going full throttle.

CIA gives 18.8%, so about 1.5 billion. [1]

But this number is dubious as it's largely from self response. Here [2] is a list by country. So 25% of Thais, 50% of Ukrainians, 50% of Poles, and so on "speak English."

In the sense of being able to say hello, thank you, and introduce themselves that is probably true. But "my name is Bob" maketh not a common tongue. If we narrowed it down to the percent of people that could hold a basic conversation, the number would plummet precipitously, likely leaving Mandarin at the top.

By coming from different country their native language (IE what language they heard as infants) more closely resembles that country than America. Note I said 47 million and there are more than 47 million immigrants.

There are also some native born Americans to immigrants who also don’t have English as their first language and People born in China whose first language is English, but that’s ever smaller refinements on a specific estimate.
Very glad to see this, it's worth noting that the compounded semiglutide pricing (think generic, although it's more complicated than that) has been plummeting ever since it was introduced onto the market. We've seen some pretty incredible results and I really hope they get cheap enough to be prescribed more widely.

It is, and the court acknowledged that editorial control is protected speech.

We tend to breed specialised sheep for wool, and specialised sheep for meat. Same thing with different animals.

Besides, why the analogy? We’re talking app stores. It's not apparent why we need a joint supply analogy.
That's what the question of strict scrutiny vs. intermediate scrutiny vs. rational basis is about. The courts would have to decide the appropriate level of scrutiny given the legal context and then apply that to the law as written.

Your hypothetical clearly implicates the Times' speech, so intermediate scrutiny at least would be applied, requiring that the law serve an important governmental purpose. I think that would be a difficult argument for the government to make, especially if the law was selective about which kinds of media institutions could and could not have any foreign ownership in general. The TikTok law is much more specific.

As people become accepting of this practice I worry there won't be a long-term hit.

Tech consumers don't understand what kind of services actually warrant a subscription because there's a recurring cost to the provider (renting CPU or storage capacity) versus those that are just rent seeking (ahem-- "recovering development costs").

I was heartened when mainstream media was up-in-arms over auto manufacturers trying to charge monthly fees for features like heated seats or remote start. I worry that consumers can't identify those kinds of gouging behavior with technology and will just accept and normalize these practices.

I've reframed ChatGPT as a google alternative without ads and am really happy when using it this way. It's still a great product and they'll be able to monetize it with ads just like google did.

Personally it's quite disappointing because I'd have expected at least some engineer to say "it's not a bug it's a feature" or "thanks for informative vulnerability report, we'll fix it in next release".

The Constitution binds the activity of the government, individuals are irrelevant. Congress is forbidden from passing a law that violates the inalienable rights of humans, freedom of speech and association being one that is conveniently enumerated in the first amendment.

You will not find anywhere in the text that limits this to citizenship (with the sparse examples of the concept of citizenship coming up being things like eligibility for presidential office). The purpose of the Constitution is to spell out the abilities of the government, and one of the things it is expressly forbidden from doing is passing laws that curtail peoples' ability to communicate or associate.

The divestiture clause is just a red herring -- sure, that sounds perfectly fine. But you can substitute it (in the future) with anything.

It is worth noting that Compounded Semaglutide sold in the US is still more expensive than branded Semaglutide sold in other markets, where national price negotiations occur. For example, it can be under $100/month in several European nations.

The US just has no mechanism to control prices. There isn't really competition for specific drugs.

There are actually very few people above around age 45 or so that write code for a majority of their day (percentage-wise), and that includes people who still consider themselves in "individual contributor" roles. E.g. even a principal engineer is going to be spending a majority of their time reviewing code, doing systems and architecture work, mentoring more junior developers, organizing more junior developers, etc. When I was a principal engineer a huge part of my job was "project management" as you put it.
This article essentially boils down to “Canon is a hardware company, they shouldn’t be allowed to charge for software.” I’m surprised this is news to you, but Canon can make money any way they want (within the bounds of local law). There is no law saying a company known for their hardware cannot decide to sell software.

If Canon started trying to sell cameras that literally only work with their software (not the case today) then maybe you’d have a semi-valid beef, although such a camera would also sell very poorly in the market given the many alternatives that exist, including Canon’s own previous lineup. Even then it wouldn’t be illegal, just harder to justify from a business perspective. Perhaps they could give away a DSLR for a yearly subscription and the math would pencil out for some people. That would be mildly interesting. Canon would have to do a lot of work to close such a product, though, as all of their existing hardware is extremely open.
Cheers for adding up NimbleAI, I'm excited to see it launch.

24/7? Musk is streaming himself playing PoE and running several different companies. They don't actually work as hard as they claim. And it's not actual hard work. Not hard thinking or hard physical labour. It's all meetings, which is just waffling, sitting around making some usually fairly low impact decisions and not doing much actual work. Why did Facebook win the social media war? It's probably all down to a handful decisions, mostly luck and ruthlessness rather than some great genius.

And no, it's obviously not more stressful then working three minimum wage jobs and still wondering if you're going to be able to make rent this month.

And we already tried the "new opportunity" thing, right? You're basically saying "more of the same". But constant growth due to globalisation is over, we're in a phase where consolidation of capital, and by extension power, is happening at a worrying rate in a tiny minority of people's hands.

And again, it's not you. The billionaires are not on HN. W're not talking about wealth taxes for millionaires, or even low multi-millionaries.

We're talking about the filthy rich. Are you filthy rich?

There's no reason for people to be that rich. They're not that good, they're not special, they're just lucky. Their parents will have invariably already been edging into the filthy rich. And then with a moderate amount of work, a lot of good connections due to that familial wealth, a relatively low amount of stress in the big scheme of things and a massive dose of luck they won the money lottery, and now they're convincing you wealth taxes are bad by brain washing you.

And yet you're arguing for more of the same? Seriously, why?

In your snippets, you don't appear to be deinterlacing. If your pre-digitized clips are already deinterlaced, that's fine, but if they're not, you're encoding interlaced material as progressive, and mangling the quality. Try adding a bwdif filter so that your 30i content gets encoded as 60p (which will look more like the original videotapes).
Because if this sequence of events (one allegedly Chinese-government controlled social media app is banned over apparent ties to the government, so all of its American users immediately switch to another Chinese app whose name can be translated as "Little Red Book") happened in a movie, a reasonable person would balk at how ludicrous and on-the-nose the whole thing was.

It feels like a joke, and if you can somehow create enough space to actually see the humor in it, its kind of funny.

Computer touchers awash in luxury beliefs.
This might be one of those components where it just needs to be built without problems, and improved safety means fixing individual design and manufacturing flaws as you find them, until you’ve hopefully got them all.

This can work. Fundamental structural components of airliners just can’t fail without killing everyone, and high reliability is achieved with careful design, manufacturing, testing, and inspection. I’m not sure if a gigantic non-leaky tank is harder to pull off that way, but they might have to regardless.

We’re going to have to accept that space travel is going to be inherently dangerous for the foreseeable future. Starship is in a good position to improve this, because it should fly frequently (more opportunities to discover and fix problems) and the non-manned variant is very similar to the manned variant (you can discover many problems without killing people). But there are inherent limitations. There’s just not as much capacity for redundancy. The engines have to be clustered so fratricide or common failure modes are going to me more likely. Losing all the engines is guaranteed death on Starship, versus a good chance to survive in an airliner.

All other practical considerations aside, I think this alone sinks any possibility of using Starship for Earth-to-Earth travel as has been proposed by SpaceX.

> the Chinese name is little red book, as in the red book of Mao (not sure if true)

That is the Chinese name of the app (although I've heard mixed reports on if "little red book" as a term for the book actually common in China). The founder claims it's because of the founder's "career at Bain & Company and education at the Stanford Graduate School of Business" which both use red, but I'm pretty sure it's a pun on his name also being Mao.

> Although PCC is currently unique to Apple, we can hope that other privacy-focused services will soon crib the idea.

IMHO, Apple's PCC is a step in the right direction in terms of general AI privacy nightmares where they are at today. It's not a perfect system, since it's not fully transparent and auditable, and I do not like their new opt-out photo scanning feature running on PCC, but there really is a lot to be inspired by it.

My startup is going down this path ourselves, building on top of AWS Nitro and Nvidia Confidential Compute to provide end to end encryption from the AI user to the model running on the enclave side of an H100. It's not very widely known that you can do this with H100s but I really want to see this more in the next few years.
The replies here seem slightly off base. The Court acknowledges that 1s amm. free speech issues are at play. A law can regulate non-expressive activity (corporate ownership) while still burdening expressive activity, which is the case here. In such instances, the Court grants Congress more leeway compared to laws explicitly targeting speech. It checks that (1) the govt has an important interest unrelated to speech (it does), and (2) the law burdens no more speech than necessary (arguable, but not obviously wrong)
Many/most scotus rulings are impactful. They are just not all controversial.

To make people / us care, we need to be subject to frequent community gossip. But the suburbs were built in part to escape that, hence why we create these omni-directional online communities, distressed at everything but responsible for nothing.
I fear we're headed towards a new era of digital protectionism. The same arguments the US is using the ban TikTok for data collection and enabling undue foreign influence are surely applicable to American social media companies operating globally as well.
Yes, because the NYT is a publicly traded company. And it is majority-controlled by a single American family - the Sulzbergers. I'm not sure you could argue that a Chinese national owning a single share of NYT stock could have any kind of sway on the operation of the company. Could the same be said for the relationship China has with TikTok?
Employees are also sharing videos and photos of people in/around their cars with each other and I'm sure they end up in the hands of friends/family members as well. https://www.reuters.com/technology/tesla-workers-shared-sens...
The home in question is thought to have belonged to the wealthiest family around - which, for a society where economics are generational and local, practically means super-rich.

In modern societies such super rich people flock to major cities, but in pre-industrial societies relocating would leave familial assets under-attended. Accordingly a well adjusted wealthy person would arrange for an excellent standard of living adjacently to their possessions

> Like such cannot be enforced for example against foreign radio stations or print publications.

If the law and acts calling for their divestiture were deemed "content neutral" then they could. But an app, with algorithmic profiling, delivery, and data capture, for the purposes of modeling and influence, is not the same as a radio station or a publication, so it would probably not be easy or even possible to the SC's standards to write a content neutral law in that way. But they have deemed that with apps like TikTok, when done so carefully, it is possible and divestiture can be enforced neutral of content.

We don't need to stick our head in the sand and act like TikTok is the same as a print publication.

The SC's decision, and Gorsuch's opinion in particular, is carefully written to not fundamentally rewrite the First Amendment, I'd urge you to read it.
Let's not forget that the US government has forced US companies to secretly hand over user data for "national security" purposes. Anyone who denies that China does similar things either doesn't know how the world works or is consciously denying reality.
