> And what precisely is the problem? Obviously, we have incomplete information, but in efficient markets ALL providers all trying to capture the full value of the solution they provide.

Because:

1) In efficient markets, all users also try to capture full value they get from the they bought. Efficient competition is purely adversarial.

2) You say, "As long as that number is 99.99% (...) it's still valuable for BOTH parties". Unfortunately, incomplete information and information asymmetry makes it more than likely that the "is trying to align their pricing" so that this number is more than 100%. That is, if you're not careful, they'll scam you.

The two above are arguments why this is a problem for the buyer, in practice. The next one is more general:

3) Everything that's good and nice and human happens inside economic inefficiencies. For human beings, a truly efficient market is a literal definition of hell - everyone's suffering as much as possible, spending all their energy to earn exactly enough to barely survive.

> FWIW most SaaS businesses severely underprice their offering relative to the economic value they create.

As it should be.

I'll say here what I say to people who talk about stopping to post anything publicly, lest it ends up in LLM training data:

Trying to capture for yourself 100% of the economic value you're producing is an extreme form of greed. When companies try to do that, they get called evil and used as examples of everything that's wrong with late-stage capitalism and such. Human society works best when people don't capture all their productive output, when they actually do leave some money on the table, because this allows others to take it and use it to innovate and create more value - which, again, if they don't capture entirety of it, allows even more people to build on top of it.

All of us who produce, we also consume. Society and its markets form an ecosystem, which needs some inefficiency to evolve, be resilient and thrive.

(See also: running any system at 100% capacity is "efficient" up until some random event causes the load to grow ever so slightly, even for a tiny moment, at which point the system suffers a cascade of failures and dies.)
So, not free and I’m not allowed to say no.
The price is set by the market as a function of some sellers charging by seats, others by resources used, etc, and some buyers preferring simple pricing models, others preferring usage-based, etc.

I wish to opt out of receiving exclusive promotional offers and updates about products I might be interested in.

I legitimately think the phrasing on this one is wrong if you're expecting unchecking it to be the way to avoid a dark pattern. The follow-up explanation is written as though there's a double negative, but there isn't one here.

As an American in the US, I get quite a bit of foreign and foreign language content under For You.

This is the inverse to the situation you describe but it makes me doubtful that non-US don't see a lot of American content.
A Developer's Debate: Copy/Paste vs. Typing a New Pattern
The criticism is that China has a ton of protectionism. We know the US does it a little.

Btw, Huawei in particular stole a ton of technology over the past couple of decades, from Cisco and others. Not sure if the smartphone ban had the same cause, but at this point I don't really care, the company deserves it.
Beyond that, his examples are either bad React engineering, engineering choices that are totally separate from React, or solutions needed because web-native options didn't exist yet.
People stealing is a side effect of something. I think the country is getting poorer and the chickens are coming home to roost. People have resorted to stealing because they feel poor. Shit, rich people feel poor now days. Imagine what poor people feel.

No excuses, but this a macro phenomenon that will always require nuance to understand.

Many poor people probably look at another poor person pocketing $100 here and $100 there on stolen items and realize there’s no point in being a good person. Life is hard, who is going to hand you anything. And so it follows, all of our souls now rot together.

Being poor has that effect on you.
could you give a few examples of these "truths"?
It's still weird to me to see tech website comments calling for extreme government restrictions on technology use. Limiting adults to 1 hour of screen time per day across social apps? That's a call for an insane level of government intrusion into our lives that is virtually unheard of outside of extremely controlling governments.
Or Indian content. It will probably end up getting banned in a lot of places over time.
Many Features and New Hardware Support Expected for Linux 6.14
I think most TPM based solutions still use software encryption. Most TPMs don't have the bandwidth to actually decrypt all disk data as it is read. (I think Apple devices do actually do something like this, but I don't think it is common.)

I believe when using TPM with LUKS the TPM just decrypts the master key and that is handed back to the OS and used in software. So the primary key does end up in RAM.
My only response to this is that I don't like the even-more-pay-to-play aspects of RSS. To even up an RSS feed requires a commitment that is an effective bar for 99% of individuals that would be interested in participating in public discourse.

The "for you" feed is less transparent in its nature than the "following" feed, but is still extremely customized. I do see content from accounts that I don't follow, but the vast majority is from accounts that I do follow (or that I can reasonably believe were liked by accounts I follow, though that interaction is more hidden now).

I do wish there was a simpler way of "unliking" or "downprioritizing" a post or an account short of blocking/muting. You can do the "see less of this content" but it feels too subtle; I don't know what the actual effect of this is.

There's no possibility Lynch inspired the original Zelda.

The original Zelda was released way before Lynch's Twin Peaks, which was a hit in Japan, was even in production. The look of the protagonist of Zelda was inspired by Disney's Peter Pan. The pig villain was inspired by a pig man in Journey to the West.
Hmm.

I am in a pickle, because I do not think I can comment on those hypotheticals without going down a deep rabbit hole. Fwiw, sanctions is not a bad counter-argument regardless of my biased view of those.

<< Are you going to argue that Russia's Gazprom's right to free speech is stifled too?

Hardly an issue given that they do not operate in space that publishes American's thoughts.

<< Or do they just have to create a Gazprom social media app so they can become a free speech platform and now "sorry 1st Amendment can't do anything"? Can Iran open up an office in San Francisco and create an app and share a few videos and then share tips for making bombs and encourage Americans to not take vaccines and not send their kids to school and to eat laundry detergent pods?

Now those are good questions, but how are those videos that different than what can be found on 4chan daily? Apart from everything else, it makes source easier to identify..

<< This doesn't justify one way or the other any other tech company's behavior, but if they are an American company owned by Americans the rules always have been and always will be different (as they should be).

Hard disagree, but I accept that this is where we both can be reasonably at odds. I accept there are pragmatic benefits to your approach.

<< We can just ban any foreign owned social media company from operating in the United States.

I mean yes, clearly based on the fact that TikTok was just banned.

<< Americans (and people around the globe) are extremely addicted to social media and whether that's Meta or TikTok they'll find a way to feed that addiction even as it damages their mind.

I think you are right about the addiction, but I am not sure if you are right about the action taken as a result of that addiction.

<< I think it would be good to ban all social media across the globe. We'd all be more free and better off for it.

Here we are aligned.

Thank you for this exchange. It is why I come to HN. I have a long day ahead so I might not be able to respond more timely from this point forward today.
Why was a sale of TikTok allowed if the bill was anything to do with banning dissenting viewpoints?
And if Twitter and Meta are found to be interfering with national interests in foreign countries and get banned or reeled in due to that, how is that a bad outcome for the world?
Why do you love this?
I'm pretty sure it would be more a quick "Add this app to the TikTok court order".

Could TikTok work through a browser? I can get to Facebook and YouTube through my iPhone Safari browser. Indeed I buy Kindle ebooks through the iPhone Safari because the Kindle and Amazon apps won't let me make purchases.
I feel like the prospect of using arenas and pools is further evidence that malloc and realloc should abort on failure, because you're right: if you're using an arena, you've not only taken application-layer control over allocation, but you've also implicitly segregated out a range of allocations for which you presumably have a strategy for exhaustion. The problem with malloc is that it's effectively the system allocator, which means the whole runtime is compromised when it fails. Yes: if you want to manually manage allocation failures, do it by using a pool or arena allocator on top of malloc.
I actually sympathize with all that. Over the past few decades, I have slowly become increasingly skeptical about true, unfettered democracy being the best form of government. In the past, although the level of education probably was worse than now, the fact that people got their news from rather centralized sources controlled by elites acted as a "nutjob filter". With social networks, we are witnessing what should be the true power of democracy (people electing candidates in spite of what the elites think), but it can easily create monsters.

I just wish the Western world would drop the hypocrisy in this respect, and stop claiming to defend more democracy than it actually does. A relevant problem is that democracy is often used as an easy excuse to keep people content. Singapore is a hugely successful country in most respects, with better quality of life than most Western countries, but we shouldn't take example from it because we have democracy! China is constantly growing and improving the quality of life of their citizens, is still behind most of the West in that respect but on the path to overtake us, but it doesn't matter, we have democracy! Maybe if we weren't constantly claiming the moral high ground, when as you mentioned our own democracies are at most relative and the difference with more authoritarian countries is a matter of degree; we could be more self-critical and focus on actually fixing things.
Look at that standards-based code! Wow!
Americans are already quite free to seek a broad range of domestic and foreign viewpoints. Chinese citizens, on the other hand, are not. At all.

The key point here is that an algorithm can invisibly nudge those viewpoints, and a foreign adversary controls the algorithm.

Insofar as your claim is that powerful people and institutions care most about power, I agree. It’s very telling that TikTok would shutdown instead of divest. (Meanwhile, U.S. companies have routinely taken the other side of the deal in China: minority stake joint ventures in which “technology transfer” is mandated. AKA intellectual property plundering.)
"There was no heat shield issue" and "it was investigated and resolved" cannot both be true. There was a heat shield issue; they investigated for two years, and it has caused a delay.

Artemis II has no Starship dependency. It's entirely SLS/Orion.

Your own article agrees with me:

> Artemis 2 likely would've been delayed by a year or so, to late 2026, had a heat-shield replacement been required, NASA officials said today. But the mission team still needs more time than originally envisioned to get Orion up to crew-carrying speed, explaining the roughly six-month push.

> "The heat shield was installed in June 2023, and the root cause investigation took place in parallel to other assembly and testing activities to preserve as much schedule as possible."
I added clarification, but “that 1/3” refers to my prior mention of 1/3 as in 1/3 of the global population.
Oh come on. The US is in a military alliance with most of Europe. And hasn’t banned any European apps from operating. And has similar democratic and human rights policies.
Generally we recommend against retroaction--the assumed model is that every workflow finishes on the code version it started. This is managed automatically in our hosted version (DBOS Cloud) and there's an API for self-hosting: https://docs.dbos.dev/typescript/tutorials/development/self-...

That said, we know sometimes you have to do surgery on a long-running workflow, and we're looking at adding better tooling for it. It's completely doable because all the state is stored in Postgres tables (https://docs.dbos.dev/explanations/system-tables).
Sure. It's a reasonable concern regardless of what country is doing it or having it done to them.
I think TikTok and social media in general is much more insidious than opium, because it is hard to know if you are using an addictive product, or what product you’re even being sold (like if you are being sold a subtly manipulated information diet). For example, it just came out that TikTok staff (in the US) were forced to take oaths of loyalty to not disrupt the “national honor” of China or undermine “ethnic unity” in China and so on. TikTok executives are required to sign an agreement with ByteDance subsidiary Douyin (the China version of TikTok) that polices speech and demands compliance with China’s socialist system. That’s deeply disturbing but also undetectable. It came out now because of a lawsuit.

This may in some ways be technically correct, but it is also true that in a democracy, the elite make decisions with the support of the people through manufactured consent. This process involves the manipulation of the populace through mass media, to intentionally misinform and influence them.

One could take the position that this process is so flawed as to be illegitimate. In this case it would be a valid position to believe that society had not fairly decided these things, and they were instead decided by a certain class of people and pushed on to the rest of us.

Commenting on your own posts sucks, but let me add:

The current status of insanity is that the US is threatening to invade a EU country by force to annex it to be able to exploit natural resources and gain a strategic military position.

Again, let me repeat, as very clearly a lot of people are now completely numb to insanity and just filter it out:

THE US IS THREATENING TO INVADE A EU COUNTRY. YES. SERIOUSLY.

Anyway, you won't have any democratic say on this anyway, so let's just gamble:

> Israel was a big enough reason to force Joe Biden out of office

Wow, people really believe Joe Biden wouldn’t have bombed his debate if he just changed his policy on Israel. (Or more seriously, that Kamala was kept out of the White House by this. What a myopic worldview.)
The argument is that China has a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_share in Bytedance; that despite only owning (on paper) 1% or whatever, they still have effective control over the whole company, if they so desire.

(I don't know if that's true, but it strikes me as plausible)

edit: you can make an analogy to e.g. Meta - Zuckerberg doesn't strictly own a majority, but he does have very strong control because of the particular corporate structure.
Precisely. Like TikTok and Douyin.
I believe the singular reason is that TikTok is controlled by the CCP and they use it as a tool to further increase political and social division by manipulating the algorithm.

This is evidenced by the fact that ByteDance could've sold TikTok in the US for a huge amount of money to comply with the recent legislation, but the Chinese government won't allow the sale. They aren't interested in the money, which to me sounds like they only ever cared about the data and influence.

That would not have solved the problem in this fire since wind speed was so high. The videos showed embers traveling far and fast. Having a 10 foot fire break would not have prevented the spread. One thing to look into is how the fire started and if the electrical equipment can be made safer, like being underground in some places.

Oh, definitely. At least not without a lot of discussion around how much the extra insurance would have cost. I'm not in a position to implement it either :).

If we're going to have state intervention though (and it seems at least under suggestion, I've no idea how seriously, in CA) then rather than an insurer of last resort, we (or rather they) should consider what they actually want from their insurance.
My first job out of college (1990s) was as a programmer in a university research lab. It didn't pay as well as industry, but it was enormously rewarding in so many other ways. I had a ton of autonomy; I got to speak face-to-face with my users and solve their problems; I got to talk to interesting smart people every day; I got a close up view of some super interesting research that I would have known nothing about, etc.

I don't know how this kind of job works today. My salary was somewhat less than I would've made in industry at the time (pre-dot-com), but now it seems that universities would likely pay much less than industry.

The problem is what happens after you’ve established that ideal of using force to only ensure everyone maintains their basic rights. Without a way to prevent it from being co-opted, it inevitably becomes an even bigger evil. Now I’ve traded stepping out of my bunker and getting shot for my watch with having my bunker ransacked because I didn’t keep up on my monthly dues. Clearest example is every country that’s ever adopted communism, but you can even look at what happened to the American colonies immediately after forming a central government - higher taxes and stolen land (and I’m not talking about the Indians), not to mention what’s it’s become today.
