Do you have any evidence for the claim that they "have grabbed people to trade them"?

If true, (and the person was not a combatant) that would certainly count as taking a hostage, provided that was the primary reason they detained said person. However if they detained someone primarily for some other purpose and then traded them later, that is a different story.

> Also more generally, they hold hostages to compel Palestinians to obey and not resist.

If you mean they detained someone who was doing some action or intending to do some action in order to compel other people not to do similar things, that probably doesn't count.

If you mean they detained some random person that wasn't involved at all in order to compel someone else to do or not do something, that probably would count.
They don’t publish detailed numbers (they’re very secretive about it, and whatever they do share is likely influenced by the looming ban so it not be trusted).

However, estimates suggest that their U.S. revenue is around $10 billion, while their worldwide revenue is approximately $12 billion.
Yes, I’m simplifying slightly. You want the lowest level key to be random as you say. In addition to the benefits you mention, it also supports a recovery key, and means you can securely “erase” the disk in an instant by just forgetting the encrypted key.
So basically controls on speech that are good are not censorship and therefore good, but ones that are bad are censorship and therefore bad? That doesn’t feel like an especially defensible view.
This is a very interesting conversation. Correlates well with the responses I got from the colleague during the meeting. Would you ask ChatGPT to do a t-test for you and blindly accept its results as well, regardless of whether the math behind it was sound or not? The reason why we use math and statistics in experimental research is because we want objective results, not simply results that correlate with our expectations (that we can get from watching YouTube or reading blogs). The objectivity of K-Means buys me the trust that whatever clusters I get have been obtained with a well-know and understood method, in which my expectations have absolute no influence. Also, I know that the next person will get similar results, which also gives me trust in their results. So we can all have a shared, independent, objective understanding of a piece of data.

I wonder, if well-educated and technically-literate people like him and you are willing to accept arbitrary results from a language model as a replacement for objective math, then what should we expect from the general public?

You’ll have an active industry that takes/pirates US content and uploads it to TikTok for profit.
I couldn't get far reading the article you linked because it starts off trying to sell the idea the 2008 financial crisis was due to "the problem lay in a worldview that seemed to work for a while … until it didn’t."

The 2008 financial crisis was due to fraudulent activity by a group of people at a series of banks who became very very wealthy making loans to unqualified borrowers because the banks didn't intend to keep the loans on their books and instead, for the first time, came up with the idea of securitizing the loans (selling tranches of groups of mortgages of varying quality that were marketed as mutual funds... there is more to the story - including AIG providing false security and Moody's providing fraudulent risk ratings) ... but the point is, it was one of the biggest fruads in American history that nearly brought about a financial disaster bigger than the 1930s depression - without any criminal charges against those who made billions of dollars in the scheme.

I can't get past someone selling the idea that the 2008 crisis was because of some "worldview" and then going on to try to tell me the same thing applies now.

This has nothing to do with teaching ethics. I don't have much confidence that people involved in finance at the levels of billion dollar transactions give a crap about what they were taught about ethics in school. The same goes about the future of LLMs (there is no such thing as AI - but LLMs are certainly transformative job wise) and the manner in which the billionaires will use LLMs to replace workers and increase profit margins.
Actually, I think we do have a little bit of a disagreement overall, but maybe not a huge one. I would not take the human exchange of data to imply or count as proof of otherwise airtight data security. I don't think the one follows from the other. It certainly could be the case, but, that kind of conclusion would hinge on contextual information that we don't currently have.

> When you're on windows and not in the browser

So many people have absolutely no concept of different windows let alone a browser. They run Chrome or IE maximized and that is "the Internet". They'll have tons of tabs open because they don't understand tabs and how to navigate them or that they can be closed.

A problem with billions of people using computers is that only a tiny fraction have working knowledge of them, an even smaller fraction understand them. Most people only understand operations by rote.
The question is more testing your full understanding of why this is a race condition, including understanding the possible side effects, since that's the only thing you start out with when someone sends in a bug report.
The brain rot spurred by social will continue ten fold with extended use of LLMs not just by capitalism but also youths lack of discipline and sure laziness. You can hear the teachers cries already about the youth of the future. Governments that block this growing existential crisis will flourish as it takes creativity and intellect to advance forward. The west is in a stagnate state as bs culture holds.

> I unsubscribe to everything I do not absolutely need

I get like 500 daily messages between multiple email accounts, and this just does not scale. Some messages are needed once year, monthly, some weekly, some are fed into LLM and automation. It is very convenient to have everything organized into folders.

I really have no time, to look for some esoteric details, in some obscure report, on website that stopped working 5 years ago! I just use full text search over my local email archive!

It also keeps paper trail. If GitHub goes down, or I get fired, I still have most comments and decisions.

Without email I would start reinventing alternatives like RSS.

> However my point is valid for print too I guess.

What do you mean? You asked how kids can write without learning cursive, and print is the answer how. What is your point about print?

Cursive might be faster for an experienced writer (though Google tells me that claim is debatable), but it takes a long time to get there. I learned cursive as a child, used it for years, and it was never faster than printing, it was much slower. When I say ‘print’, I use an in-between style of half-cursive fast print that isn’t cursive but a lot of people use in practice, and it’s much faster for me that trying to write legible cursive.

However cursive is neither faster nor more legible to read, as evidenced by this article and the pages that need translating. If we’re going to compare cursive and print, the metric should be overall speed and accuracy of communication, not how many milliseconds the pen-holder can save while writing something nobody can read.

Today, it no longer matters. People type & text mostly, and typing is way faster than either cursive or print. The number of situations that require handwriting continues to decline. We don’t use handwriting enough anymore to develop cursive fluency and efficiency.
ChromeOS uses a different solution from AVB, but it works pretty similarly in practice.

Agreed on all points.

A step further, which I haven't personally tried but I've been thinking about, is to set up a filter rule that just automatically deletes anything with "unsubscribe" or "manage your preferences" in it. If you're already at a zero inbox and getting very few emails per day, this just isn't necessary, but I'd recommend it for someone who has a dumpster fire of an inbox that's getting hundreds of marketing or automatic notification emails per day.
repostCount could be too. There is a trending topics new too, that could feed in.
Only under very special circumstances and at one time of the year. Claiming you can switch without qualification like this is disingenuous.
FWIW since so many people here seem set on the idea that cursive is archaic / useless today, Montessori schools still teach cursive before print because the flowing letters are easier for kids and more similar to drawing, and all the exercises they do around letter tracing.

The result is that kids in Montessori learn to read faster and earlier. (They're usually writing in cursive first, which gives them a foundation of the letters and their phonetic sounds, before they begin reading exercises in earnest.)
Yeah thats why Netflix has to produce so much french content, they need 60% of their content to be french but there is not enough lol. Thats how we got call my agent
> a wider bus width is required for larger memory counts, which is expensive when it comes to silicon area

I find this constraint to be rather odd. An extra, say, three address bits would add very little space (or latency in a serial protocol) to a memory bus, and the actual problem seems to be that the current generation of memory chips are intended for point-to-point connection.

It seems to me that, if the memory vendors aren’t building physically larger, higher capacity chips, then any of the major players (AMD, Nvidia, Intel, whoever else is in this field right now) could kludge around it with a multiplexer. A multiplexer would need to be somewhat large, but its job would be simple enough that it should be doable with an older, cheaper process and without using entirely unreasonable amounts of power.

So my assumption is this is mostly an economic issue. The vendors don’t think it’s worthwhile to do this.

The "small minority" label has been applied to Trump supporters on social media, yet they have won in the elections twice.

Manufacturing consent still works via the traditional newspapers. That is where "the (current) truth" originates from. That is what is amplified on social media, including here. It takes years of struggle of independently minded people to argue against mainstream. Often after two years mainstream takes the position of independently minded people and takes the credit.

TikTok is different in that it addresses teenagers. They don't have any political power and will change their opinions in their 20s/30s. The data collection and blackmail arguments are still valid. But they also happen in the West, except that three letter agencies collect compromising material on domestic and foreign politicians.

I mean, really? On social media anti-China sentiment is at an all time high. This Chinese manipulation operation must have really failed.
Cholestyramine is a bile binder, and while it can help with some PFAS, it won't be as effective as blood removal. For most of us, the solution is regular blood donations and Organic psyllium husk powder which too is a bile binder.
This is what filter rules are for. See my other comment.
It most certainly is abused that way. See every garbage DMCA takedown request submitted by scumbag corporation du juor.

Europe and the U.S. are miles (or kilometers, I suppose) apart of human rights policies.

Another poster pointed out Guantanamo, but our prison population is unreal compared to Europe. We're rolling back child labor laws. We're burning and banning books. We don't have universal suffrage. We're actively and enthusiastically participating in a genocide against the Palestinian people. We've got a "border zone" in which our cops have huge authority that extends 100 miles in from every border. We're letting Americans starve, sleep rough, and die from preventable disease because taking care of each other is considered "communist". The right to protest is being heavily curtailed. And we've continued to gerrymander away democracy across our nation.

No, we're nowhere close to the human rights or democratic positions of Europe. Which of course, is also not perfect, but along those two specific axes? The U.S. is far, far away.
At some point email went from a true communication avenue to just “sending this for reference”. Apps and services are adding their own notification inboxes and comment threads (or activity logs) and @-mentions as an interaction pattern so that they can enrich and embed communication in the context of what they do.

I won’t go so far as to say that email is dying, but it’s certainly changing in purpose.
A lot of people on both sides are scared of the "direct deal" situation whereas in practice it is extremely uncommon.

When was the last time you asked a Uber employee for their phone number?
Spineless democrats are now trying to save TikTok after the bipartisan bill was passed. And the Supreme Court upheld the ban. SMH.
But how exactly would you define the "mistake made so long ago"?

Is it the free circulation of newspapers?

Would you prefer to ban journalism or restrict the exchange of information, and what would that imply for the internet?

If you ask me, it seems like the incentive "money" might be a problem.
Maybe commercial journalism and social media are the main issue?
Which is closely related to the concept of media as entertainment.

Not a new idea either, and a boring reply without a real answer, I know.

Allowing only state-sponsored journalism would not be any better, right?

Public broadcasting (as independent from the government as possible) is nice, but doesn't solve the issues discussed here.

It seems like a reasonable and common view that being dependent on other's money hurts freedom of thought and expression, which is a basic requirement for free press.

So commercial media always was the default, but being dependent on commercial success and the favor of the public always hurt the mission we ascribe to a free press.

Same goes for the requirement to entertain the readership – it cannot be disregarded, no matter how sophisticated the media we consume might be, it needs to capture our attention in some way. This differntiates writing from data.

So my long answer kind of confirms your observation that "we can't even conceptualize correcting it now". I'm not sure if it's impossible though.

I'd be curious what your own ideas are about how to "fix the mistake".
It seems like a political question for sure though.
> Drivers often need firing.

Do they? The taxi companies in my small tourist town don't seem to have problems with reliable drivers. Makes me think that there is a retention problem with Uber-style work environments more than an inherent problem with people who drive for a living.
To my knowledge Gmail never "silently drops" anything. Every message is either delivered, rejected with the appropriate SMTP failure codes, or bounced with a non-delivery report in case of technical failure to promptly deliver.
In Gmail, I try to archive or delete everything that I’m done with, but it’s difficult to keep up with many notifications flowing in, which I don’t delete immediately or are relevant for the next few days and I never get back to. It’s easy to get behind.

I’ll try your approach of setting up a default section for ‘is:starred OR is:unread’ and stop bothering with the archive step.
Absolutely. That's been my MO for years. Inbox zero across multiple different emails. It makes things really easy

> User's videos are still legal US speech and can be posted and shared freely.

Sure, but removing the platform still removes speech. This relies on all of the people saving and re-uploading their videos.

Imagine a scenario where you needed government and regulatory approval to create a new website. HackerNews, personal websites, etc. were all banned. Would it be okay, since you could repost all your comments and threads onto Facebook?

> Banning US companies is just politically infeasible. But the Chinese issue is pretty bipartisan (right now).

FOSTA and SESTA impacted US companies. It leakd to increased censorship on practically every social media platform.

The EARN IT Act is still a threat (unless Salt Typhoon, ironically, provided the proof necessary to show how vital e2ee is). It has also enjoyed bipartisan support, and backdooring encryption is harmful and does constitute censorship.

While I agree the legal specifics of the TikTok ban are meant to target TikTok, the political apparatus has been proven. Congress banning apps has been normalized.

No matter how you cut it, this is another big loss for the free and open internet, at a time when wins are far and few between.
Seems like you might have a case of SV myopia. The idea that $1640 plus “a few thousand extra” to be able to drive a very expensive vehicle would be not “that expensive” is pretty out of touch.
Kids with dysgraphia sometimes can successfully write in cursive and cannot write in block letters. I don't know where I fall on how hard it should be taught, generally, but it's clearly very helpful to some kids.
Any theories on why no one pursues it? Lack of incentives?
There is a category of spam emails where clicking unsubscribe links ends up signaling spammers that email address is in use and leads to even more spam emails. I wish there was an option to really block such emails and not put them in spam or trash folders. Going even further, each spam email sender should be forced to make a small payment to get their spam delivered to my inbox.
With the different flavors of Linux, the varying configs, and uses, etc. it would be a less-likely target because it's overall much easier just to infect one of the numerous Windows computers or servers in a corp, then pivot to the other machines within the network from there.

Whether targeting public facing Windows servers, or the employees' own desktops, it's easy to see why Linux would be more of an afterthought. Windows devices massively out number the number of daily-use Windows devices, which also increases the opportunity for attack.
Limits on how you can speak are absolutely limits on speech. It's called burdening. The government must demonstrate a reason to burden a right. It is held to various levels of scrutiny depending on the ways it is burdening.

I think it is very obvious why removing the most-used social media from 170 million americans would be burdensome. SCOTUS disagrees.
Nice!

Unfortunately, mine was left on a desk which got buried under stuff when my kids were young and the batteries corroded.

I keep considering buying an MP2100, but it's hard to justify given the number of devices around the house which seldom see use.

This is an extremely dramatic way of saying "they had a banner in the app which informed users of a policy that affected them and directed them to contact their representatives", something which plenty of other social media platforms, such as Reddit have done without controversy.
> The next challenge is to come up with interesting gameplay ideas for this project.

The idea of an infinite world, at least of buildings and such structures, very much reminds me of the Echo game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i51x6-8GqkA or maybe the Blame! manga or the SCP fandom. It's probably work pretty well for a horror/survival game, or just something built around movement. There was also the Receiver game series, which used pre-built environment blocks that were randomly stitched together and it worked really well for that game.
Of course, yes.

The west is committed to their own propaganda narrative, which explains the tiktok ban and the "inability" (unwillingness, really) to replicate the algorithm.

I'm not saying china is perfect. They do their own propaganda and narrative control. The west trying quite successfully to replicate THAT algorithm—authoritarianism and narrative control, corporations acting as arms of the state propaganda agencies, etc.
Anti-trust laws are the obvious example that was already listed in the post you replied to, e.g. Meta wants to be able to buy Instagram and Apple wants to lock all iPhone users out of third party app stores. But the government has passed so many laws at this point that you can hardly walk down the street without committing a felony, see e.g. Three Felonies a Day, to the point that it's now only a matter of prosecutorial discretion that any given person isn't in prison.

They've also threatened to pass new laws that the targets wouldn't like if the targets don't "voluntarily" do things the law isn't allowed to make them do.
There's really nothing in the story to support the headline. Not even a clear quote from any relevant announcement.
