California law limits how high the insurance companies can charge for premiums. Did that law or those limits exist when they started offering coverage in the area?

Maybe they didn't, and then the law or limits were imposed at a time when the insurance companies needed to increase the premiums to match the new risk. But if the law prevents them, then they have no other choice but to pull out. Why would they as a business stay if the risk is to great for the premiums they are allowed to charge? They certainly are not obligated to stay.
They have instituted broader regulations. (I wish I knew where a systematic evaluation is.)
Just on Facebook I can see what all of my old high school friends are up to. I can instantly send anyone a message. I can find things buy that people are selling. I have a community of people who are into the same obscure hobby. That's just off the top of my head.

Is it how many workers you have when you build that building
if China has US consumer's data they can do very little harm as they lack enforcement. So its not a big deal to use Chinese owned social media app.

US however, if it has data on US users, has all the means to cause harm to US users, starting from censorship and persecution.

UK and Germany for example are jailing people for social media posts

One of the mechanisms of operation is to reduce your desire to eat.

Taking a step back, obesity actually is an adaptation. When food is scarce, you want your body to extract and store every gram of nutrition it can get. And that would provide a distinct advantage when you're trying to reproduce.

The thing is, GLPs don't only suppress eating. There are plenty of substances out there that can do that...and there are plenty of people who can't lose weight by starving themselves, because your body will try to maintain its weight.

The question should be "why isn't everyone obese, given the huge amount of calories available to humans?"
You know, you might as well give it up. He won't give you a free Tesla Truck no matter how brown your nose gets.

The guy's an insufferable manchild with no more actual tech chops than the average boomer, made all the more dangerous by a severe case of Dunning-Kruger. He can't distinguish between reality and sci-fi, and goes around and buys companies that he thinks will make him look like real life Tony Stark.
This seems true… many many thousands of farmers combined consuming their own self grown wheat, would produce noticeable effects on interstate commerce. Specifically wheat markets, futures, etc…
Nah, centralized apps have won because mass appeal and market momentum hinges on factors almost entirely other than an app's technical architecture.
for clarity Biz Stone is on the board of the 501(c)(3) fundraising entity that was incorporated in the U.S. in early 2024. The new EU non-profit entity doesn't yet exist, or have a named board.
This is just a roundabout way for Trump to get bribed
Not at all the case except for the largest ones. It is hard to grasp the distribution capacity of TikTok. It WILL put your content in front of people interested in it. It's crazy good at that. Also, a lot of money came in from the live streams within the app.
My family immigrated. We’re native English speakers from India.
> I understand that those drugs are very useful, but in a way it feels for me like ancient Rome with its orgies and vomit inducing so they can eat more.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions

"Wealthy Ancient Romans did not use rooms called vomitoria to purge food during meals so they could continue eating and vomiting was not a regular part of Roman dining customs. A vomitorium of an amphitheatre or stadium was a passageway allowing quick exit at the end of an event."
Because this isn’t really a “negotiation” as configured by the statute: Medicare doesn’t have a formulary, it doesn’t pay for drugs, the Part D plan providers (some quite large and with their own negotiating heft) do.

It’s a price-setting exercise. Yes, the drug-maker can walk away, but at the cost of massive punitive excise taxes on selling their drug to anyone in the US, not just Medicare Part D plans.

> Not only that, but there's no evidence at all that Tik Tok's been feeding China any data. None.

Yes there has been. TikTok admitted to it. They were tracking journalists.

This is not a mere accusation. Instead the company admitted to it.

Microsoft CERT offers forms to fill out about DDOS attacks. I reported their IP addresses and the server they were hitting including the timestamp.

All of the reports to Microsoft CERT had proof-of-concept code and links to github and bugcrowd issues. Microsoft CERT sent me an individual email for every single IP address that was reported for DDOS.

And then half an hour later they sent another email for every single IP address with subject "Notice: Cert.microsoft.com - Case Closure SIRXXXXXXXXX".

I can understand that the meager volume of requests I've sent to my own server doesn't show up in Microsoft's DDOS-recognizer software, but it's just ridiculous that they can't even read the description text or care enough to forward it to their sister company. Just a single person to care enough to write "thanks, we'll look into it".
Haha, no I acutually never associated this with the English word toss lol.
See my other comment I guess. My experience has been that a lot of the things that motivate beginners are out of reach without using a package. In ruby or python I can say hey just install this thing here's how. Even in JS, it's a bigger hurdle but I can show them npm. Lua has nothing as accessible as this.

Managing archives is not easier in my experience, for the format I teach. Students are not necessarily using the same packages, not all on the same OS, and familiarity with manually managing files cannot be assumed. Probably the majority of middle schoolers I teach do not have that skill coming into my class, high school maybe 50/50.
Very cool! I interacted with the first few pages and I am going to share this with my friends so they can learn how to avoid the dark patterns.
I would say that it is a coincidental happening to that drama. As Eugen mentioned in a thread on Mastodon, this has been under consideration for quite a long time, certainly before the nuclear events that kicked off the WP drama.
In Belgium, the same tax is raised by Auvibel for private copying. It allows us, in theory, to make copies of everything (except sheet music) that we acquired legally, even if we don't have access to the original anymore. So lending anything from a library or a friend, and making and keeping a copy is fair game.

Still not a fan, and probably the EUCD makes most of this useless.
It's the supply of when you should build it. In the early game it's essentially how many workers you have.
Does it work out-of-the-box today?

Execution is what matters. We can smoke a blunt and have some nice sounding ideas, but building something that works on data at scale is what actually counts.
It will take ages for that to happen. AFAIK the "ban" only really removes it from app stores, I don't think it even requires store owners to force it off of phones that have downloaded it already.
Because if it's owned by a US company the US government will have more control over its content? Especially if it gets bought by one of the country's oligarchs? Honestly seems pretty obvious.
DingDingDing. Ignoring actual value of the ban - I fully expect Trump to save US TikTok to avoid the bad PR associated.
When you think of it as enough money to give a $100 bill to ~everybody in china, wow. That’s quite a bit of money.
It's surprising since usually nowadays that gets you a cabinet position or a seat in the House.

It denotes how much supply you should have when you start the building. All of your supply at this stage comes from workers, so it's also an indication how many workers you should train.

I suppose. You could also use a single desktop and set up your own virtual network bridge, attach multiple veths connected to separate network namespaces, or attach tun devices with virtual machine images running raspberry pi os under qemu, set up DHCP for their virtual mac addresses, set up routing tables, and save yourself some money and time inserting raspberry pis into a pre-built rack. Learning how to set up a rack of servers can be done for free if you already have a Linux machine.
Complete nonsense. There are many issues with Artemis timeline.

I feel like this concept will be useful in other situations, too, not just homelabs. I wouldn't be surprised at all to spot one of these controlling a temporary venue.
Have you tried going to a classroom full of young adults like yourself in the last eight to ten years, without using one? I did, for years. You'll feel like there's no point in trying to socialize with anyone most of the time, as there's a huge barrier between them and yourself. Even when the phones aren't physically involved, people are way, way less social now than back then. Engaging in spontaneous conversations or interactions with people you aren't really familiar with is something that isn't seen in a positive light as much anymore. It's even panic-inducing or seen as ill-advised for many people, in environments that should be very conducive to such things, and safe for them to take place (college, for instance).

Did it? The drugs clearly lead to reduced appetite, therefore reduced calories. But do we know that the drugs aren’t also causing other important metabolic changes?
Very sad moment for the united states. Banning an app because the users are too critical of israel/support palestine, and they cannot control it.
I really wish someone with the resources and connections could get in touch with South Korean broadcasters in order to get access to their archives so that more historical games could get uploaded and re-commentated for a western audience.

My favorite Brood War slang term is Ee Han Timing [0]: basically when you take a risky build that has to do damage in a small timing window. A ton of exciting Brood War moments come from exploiting tiny timing windows.

oh, neat, I knew about tut and toot (two other TUI apps), but not this one - I'll have to add it to the community section of our next engineering blog post.
it is a bad outcome because it means everyone is locked in their propaganda locality and theres no one to break the narrative. IMHO it’s beneficial to have a global network as we are living on a planet with artificial borders.
It sounds like they are just banning it from new installs on app stores, won't people just browse to the URL to use it?

The distinction between apps and websites seems arbitrary to me... especially since a huge fraction of apps seem to be effectively just a browser window with a single website locked in full screen.

I have never before used tiktok, but just now as an experiment I opened it in a browser and scrolled for a minute- I had no problem accessing an apparently endless stream of mostly young women jumping up and down without bras, and young men vandalizing automobiles.
> Despite these things the area still burned.

I suspect the rules for making a defensible house were wrong. For example, I read an article recently that posited that most of the fire was spread by burning embers on the wind, and not by intense heat from nearby flames.

The idea is to look at where embers accumulate and eliminate or fireproof those areas. For example, a low masonry wall a few feet from the house can stop a lot of heavier burning embers from piling up against the house. If you've got a swimming pool, add a pump to it that feeds sprinklers in the yard and on the rooftop.

There are a lot of homes that did not burn - look at them and figure out why they didn't burn.

For a related example, every airplane crash is looked at, and we always discover overlooked vulnerabilities. The tsunami that devastated Japan a few years ago also provided a lot of information about what worked and didn't work.

We're a long way from needing to give up. There's a lot of low hanging fruit.
My Sony doesn’t have this length limit, but will readily overheat and turn off after several minutes of highest-bitrate recording. So no, overheating is trivially protected against via temperature sensors, not some arbitrary timeout.
> What's the main barrier to doing this all the time? Sounds like a good practice in general.

Misunderstanding of what "cognitive load" is. It's not measured in ability for a junior picked off a street at random to understand code they never saw before.

There are at least two components to cognitive load: knowledge and working memory. Human working memory is limited, meaning we can only keep track of so much code in our head at the same time, which sets an upper bound on code complexity we're able to handle. If the problem's inherent complexity is greater than that upper bound, you won't be able to effectively solve it at all.

The point of learning about the domain, learning design patterns, advanced programming techniques, the point of developing languages with powerful features, is to allow people to spend cognitive work up front, learning these techniques and tools, and then forever be able to handle more complexity within their limited working memory. The current zeitgeist of writing dumbest possible code anyone can understand, gets it exactly backwards: the dumber, more junior-friendly the code, the more working memory it takes up, for a fixed amount of problem complexity being addressed. In other words, the dumber code you insist on, the fewer and simpler problems you can solve with it before you hit the hard limits of human brains.

My own belief is that we're already witnessing it all the time - software increasingly sucks and is bug-ridden because industry is trying to save money by making the least experienced people available do most of the actual coding work. Basically, software quality and productivity, as well as the complexity of problems it can address, is being limited by working memory of junior developers.

(The industry doesn't actually stop people from learning - it just forces people who reached a minimum amount of competence and want to earn more money to switch to faux-management, which "senior" and above roles increasingly are.)
> I can 100% guarantee to you that the children of anyone born today will not travel to space in any significant number

Someone born today will have children living into the early 2100s. The first flight ever was a little more than a hundred years ago. Using your kind of logic, no one would have predicted most of the technology we take for granted today.
But who would use an LLM for such a common use case which can be implemented in a safe way with established libraries? It feels to me like they're dogfooding their "AI agent" to handle the `urls[]` parameter and send out web requests to URLs on it's own "decision".
They had opium, we have fentanyl.

It's not all bad but it's more potent now by far.
Kinda funny that in an article about translations, the author gets signal-to-noise completely backwards. A high signal to noise (over 9000) is very good. It means you are getting a lot of signal with very little noise. Decreasing signal to noise means getting more noise.
It's not a competition. Both can be sights that people view in awe. Are you "Four Yorkshiremen-ing" wildfires?

Seems people are already mass migrating to Rednote. I’m not sure how that plays out though.
As far as i can tell, the Chinese care mostly about building and investing. They're aware that the US sees them as their "number one enemy" (what a childish, irresponsible way to refer to a nation of a billion, mostly innocent, people), and that the US has maintained its global domination since WWII by political assassinations, bombings, proxy wars, and half-assed failed invasions.

My advice? Stop using words like "geopolitical adversary" to mask what you really want to say. This is life, not a chessboard.
It seems like everyone missed the analogy of TikTok being like a Soviet newspaper, but the better analogy was like Tiktok being a tracking device, which transmitted your exact location, along with a microphone and video camera provided by the Soviet. The hardware may be Apple (made in China, designed in California), but the software extends the hardware usage to the software provider. I'm not sure there was any era of US history which the law would have permitted that.
By this reading, and since Trump is sworn in on the 20th, it is really up to his discretion as to whether the tiktok ban remains.

He probably should let it stand for a day or two, and then drop an executive order to make it not banned and thus be a hero to all those who use it.

Does remind me when I talked to a chef from a big restaurant about wine and cooking. He said, a lot of people who work in a kitchen have often an smaller or bigger alcohol problem. He said, as soon as wine is opened in the kitchen for cooking, he does add just a bit salt, so people in the team don't even try to drink some cooking wine.
I've learned not to trust company technical blogs. They're all just marketing fluff intended to act as recruiting materials, and judging by the comments here, it's working. As your post highlights, taken in the greater context, it sounds like their decision to move to React Native was so slow going and the end-user experience is just okay.

I suppose taken from the perspective of "We want to easily hire frontend devs that can easily be slotted in to work on the project and make impact on all platforms, including mobile" then it's a win, but at a cost in years and a degraded user experience. From a business perspective, probably a good move in the long run.

It qualifies already, but I really doubt it's going to take off for many reasons. It isn't TikTok, the CCP has a much heavier hand there (ask the kids who ran into a 48 hour review period for their posts), and frankly I don't think the CCP is going to appreciate a bunch of mostly young, leftist teens sharing their ideas with Chinese people. The reaction to "Here's how you can organize a union/3D print a gun" has been hilariously predictable.
> there will be nothing you can do

That makes it much easier for people to collect data. People read on the Internet, yet again, that they are powerless.
In that case, I apologize for misunderstanding, and would edit my original comment if I could.
The "gunshow" loophole is really a "private sellers" exemption. If you don't regularly sell guns, then you don't need an FFL to merely sell a small number, and don't have to do background checks (indeed there's no process such that you _can_ do firearms checks).

Now, it might be reasonable to remove this exemption, but the only way it's a "gunshow" loophole is that gun shows are a place where gun fans wanting to buy are going to meet gun fans wanting to sell.

Making it trivial for someone to do firearms checks seems like an easy thing that everyone should support, but alas no one in power seems to actually want such a thing.
Personally, I only started bashing it in earnest after reading most of its source code.
