Regulation that dictate how a company may operate will naturally inhibit the consumers if the regulations is so heavy that the company will no longer exist. That doesn't mean such regulation is impossible.

The ban does not say that US citizens are not allowed to use the application (or apply speech). The method of the ban is similar to those blocking torrent sites, as in blocking them on an ISP level.

ISP already operating a fairly large block lists, both in the US and EU, blocking everything from pirate sites, scam sites, and more serious criminal ventures. The legal frame work generally do not talk about users (outside of deep packet inspection territory). They simply get applied more like industry regulation. It should be noted that the 1965 case has not prevented ISP block lists, and I would assume that the long list of pirate cases where ISP has objected to block lists in the last 30+ years has thoroughly tested the 1965 case. We can also look at the very recent net neutrality situation, where ISP has very much been defined as something very different from the postal service.

As a minor aspect being said in articles describing the ban, the ban would not prevent users from accessing the app if its already installed. As an ISP block it would break the functionality of the app, and new users would only get a spinning bar when trying to download it, but citizens would not be legally bound by the ban. That is mostly semantics but there is a legal distinction.
> they've never seen anything like the Starlink satellites before

By that, do you mean they can't see the starlink satellites now with their eyes, despite the number of them? Or do you mean that before they didn't see anything and now it is a problem and they are seeing things with their naked eyes?
> but it definitely is in several states, and you'll get ticketed for failing to stop for a red light.

My state, which is one of the ones you are talking about, only will give you a ticket for going over the speed limit through a yellow light, not for accelerating up to the speed limit. If you proceed through a yellow without going above the speed limit (even if accelerating) and do so because you were in the intersection already (at or beyond the stop line) you will not receive a ticket (assuming you can prove it).

Accelerating through a yellow over the speed limit is just asking for a speeding ticket in just about any state.
That's mostly true and it's a good thing for the US to prevent hostile, autocratic, foreign powers from gaining undue cultural power.
> Social networking platforms are among the most effective tools for mass influence, second only to religion.

Fox News and talk radio demonstrate that isn't true in the US.
Starlink satellites are only visible to the naked eye during specific circumstances for a brief period whole they're being boosted to their final orbit.

I've seen it. It's kind of cool. 8 pale, silent dots in line moving across the sky for like 3 minutes.

I'm sure they've seen airplanes flying at night with brighter lights, and louder noises than what starlink produces, so I'm not sure how this is really a problem.
Not sure why you feel justified in this level of snarkiness, given that i responded to a very specific claim:

>No website offers that kind of ease of use for _adding_ information

Obviously Wikipedia isn't great to upload your social security number to, but it does allow democratic adding of information which I cited it as an example of.

I've tutored literally hundreds of homeschoolers at this point, mostly in the high school ages as their parents ran out of math ability. As a whole, they are far better socially adapted than the average teenager.

Sure, there is selection bias among those who get that far in math, and those who would seek out tutoring. But I had 9th graders coming to me already behaving well as adults. More often than not they were in charge of working things out with me, not their parents.

Every time one of these threads comes up I cringe, because virtually nobody here has worked with a large number of these kids. They just remember the one weird kid who stood out. If homeschoolers were to put forth the same arguments based on the one weird kid from public school, homeschooling would win by a landslide.

People say it's about socialization, but homeschoolers are out there doing it in a normal way all the time. Parent needs to go to the post office -- there is a class on that, and why. Everything can turn into a lesson and not just something taken care of by parents. They come out of this experience with far more adult level socialization and civic knowledge than the average kid, by a wide margin.

Who are kids in high school getting their social queues from? The drug dealers? The bully? The good kids in high school are typically well adjusted because of things taught to them not by their peers, but by their family and community outside of school.

Yes, homeschooling can be done poorly. But it is not inherently a poor education, and in my experience is far superior to the average experience at a public school. Some exceptions apply for those things which a large school may be able to have by aggregating sufficient students and resources toward (marching band, science classes, AP level courses).

What's bothersome here is that many of these platforms are left to rot where the IP holder makes no money off of them anyway. That's not to say that the tech copyright law should be different than say literature, but when books go out of print people do photocopy or scan them to keep them available and publishers don't go after Xerox. It will be interesting to see the outcome here, but I don't have high hopes considering the track record of corporate funded legal teams and general lack of government tech savvy.
I don't disagree, but the descendants of the Puritans stopped being Puritans pretty quickly. The Halfway Covenant was only about 40 years after they landed in Plymouth and there were virtually no Puritans by 1740.

Weirdly enough an all day event in Office 365 isn't an all day event on a day.

E.g, I record my wife's birthday in my calendar.

I create an event on April 12th, and mark it as an all day event.

What actually happens is that the calendar records an event that starts at midnight, and ends 24 hours later, and is marked as an all day event.

But, when you change timezones the 24 hours actually shift, which can be very weird when you get notifications that are 6 hours earlier.

At least the fabs can recycle the majority of their water. Unlike farms which use more than is needed and are likely producing animal feed for international animals.

i hope someone can use this to create an editor similar to notepad++ that is cross platform. I have not found an editor that can handle large files as well as notepad++ on non windows systems. Last I looked into this, the issue was lack of low level libraries to handle large files.

Oh man, I played the shit out of the Lone Wolf books when I was a kid in the eighties and nineties. My brother had the first couple of them, and I still have his old books somewhere with his notes. I should find them for nostalgia's sake (my brother having long since passed).
that might be a good analogy because, generally speaking, skiing is much, much harder without poles (hence an expert would never do it (unless they are hitting an olympic vert ramp or something)), but it is exactly for this reason that the poles distract you from learning the "right" lesson-- people use their poles pretty much randomly at the start, and the poles help them... to do the wrong thing. but once you have the real crux of skiing down-- body position and balance + using your edges and weight shifts to turn-- poles are completely trivial to add.

great analogy!
I un-ironically do that too in my personal relationships after many years in start-ups.

Sorry if it's offensive!
TikTok is ostensibly a commercial product meant to earn revenue that offset costs, and those costs are tremendous.

Meanwhile, the ban will make it impossible for them to (a) enter into trade relationships with the advertisers and other partners that bring in revenu, and (b) share that revenue with monetized users.

Continuing to run it at scale as a website without ads or monetization payouts (and without any legal protections) would pretty well blow the cover of it being a legitimate international business.
> If you get expelled, you go to tier 2 which is a school for people who got expelled.

So if you're a kid who's already struggling, you get sent to be surrounded by other kids who are already struggling.

> you only have one chance really to get an education.

That's true for the bad kids too.

I 100% get where you're coming from. My kids come home from school and tell stories about disruptive stuff other kids do and how much it gets in the way of the school functioning effectively.

At the same time... what are we supposed to do with those kids? The kids that have behavioral problems are much more likely to be that way because they have a bad home life. So if you expel them, they're missing out on education and they're spending more time in a bad environment. They're not going to get any better after that. Then what? Now they're a year behind academically and have the shame of being expelled. Their behavior is likely even worse because they spent a year not being socialized in a bad environment. So they're even worse next year, and they get expelled again.

Eventually, they stop going to school entirely. But at least here in the US, the number of jobs available to people without any kind of school degree gets smaller every year. So now they can't find work.

What do desperate people do? Commit crimes. So now we have a system that effectively just produces uneducated mentally unhealthy criminals.

The current government of New Zealand put something like that called a Road User Charge or RUC (https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/road-user-charges/ruc-for-...) in place in 2024. As an EV owner, I don't mind paying it but having to buy an RUC license for every 1,000 km that I drive, and having to display a paper license on my windscreen, isn't the best solution. I'd prefer a more efficient way of doing that.

I believe it's not just that it is able to fly with 1 engine. It's that the probability of a secondary engine failure in that time is below a certain threshold. Most twin engine planes can fly perfectly fine for basically any distance with an engine out, ETOPs provides confidence that the other one won't fail too.

I voted for a Democrat; and I also was a loud fighter against previous attempts at a TikTok ban. That

* my representatives didn't vote in line with my requests *and*
* that they tend to vote in line with me for other issues *and*
* that there are no other viable options either due to no competition or worse competition

Does not negate that my "representative" is not representing me.
Could you elaborate on that? I have no clue how the US banning TikTok for granting the CCP the ability to algorithmically influence the views of Americans somehow justifies the decade plus of the GFW, blocking Western social media, rampant censorship, etc.
I've also never gotten those sort of YT recommendations, and that is exactly what I do. I never click links to political videos. My entire recommended section is full of stuff from channels I've watched before, or very close to it.

Or, maybe some of us have lived experience where artificial food dyes have detrimental effects to our children. I don't need science to tell me what my own two eyes and lived experience says. Do I really need a double blind study to tell me that when one of my kids eats food laced with these dyes, he's crazy for a week, but when he eats candy w/o these dyes, he just is a normal kid with a sugar rush?

My sibling comment goes into more detail, but claiming that anyone who has a lived experience is stupid (aka, falling for a logical fallacy) is just accelerating the distrust of "authority" at a time when we need it most.
Hey guys, I just wanted to butt in to clarify that I'm not mentally disabled or dyslexic. I'm basically neurotypical... well... more or less.

I dropped out simply because I found school insufferably boring and an almost complete waste of time. Some of my earliest memories are of myself thinking "oh man, it's still just Wednesday -- two more days to go until the weekend?!" (Fast forward to today, and I find myself looking forward to Monday!)

Just about everything else I found myself doing with my time -- including actual hard labor -- felt more rewarding and productive. (At least I was making money that I could use to buy 3dfx cards and RAM chips.) In truth, past phonics, don't think that I even learned anything in school; I was always ahead of the class just by reading books at home and at the library.

My parents shed many tears, but they came to terms with my dropping out, because I had exhibited depressive symptoms from about the age of 9 or 10, and those symptoms entirely vanished when I didn't have to go to school.

I'm sure that there are many others like me. Public school often tries to shove round pegs into square holes. There are better ways to learn, of that I'm certain.
If I owned a business in another country and that other country coerced me to sell against my wishes, I'd be very skeptical about receiving the proceeds from the sale.

So TikTok sells to a domestic company, domestic company wants to wire over $40bn to ByteDance but before the transfer goes through the Treasury Department decides a $40bn payment shouldn't be sent to a "foreign adversary". It's my understanding that the Treasury has a lot of leeway in this.

If we wanted ChatGPT's opinion we can ask it ourselves.
I am a strong supporter of public school, to the point I volunteer often and advocate for them.

"Whims of the state" -- I'd recommend you make sure to advocate for a strong department of education, which for its many activities is a facilitator of credentialing. It's fundamentally societal and operated politically and bureaucratically.

'"modern" moral standard" -- I agree, we should target humanist ideals only as they are sourced from naturalism, otherwise we have neomodern or otherwise misaligned religious tenets creep in as "values" when they're really misplaced. Some folks advocating pro-religious values in schooling are quite insidious -- using religious freedom (where people have a right to practice in their homes and even the public square) as an injection to favor their religion as the majority in an area, to the exclusion of people who do not believe as they do. It's quite sad to see the Constitution, written fundamentally by Deists who were motivated more by motives closer to religious existentialism than current triumphalism, be run so roughshod over!

If you meant something else by modern moral standard, my apologies, I simply see this common thought-terminating cliche in a lot of places and it falls apart with 2 seconds of introspection.

> The Nixon Shock caused the Yom Kippur War that sparked OPEC's embargo of America [1]?

Absolutely. The Yom Kippur war was the straw that broke the camel's back, but the Nixon Shock was the force supplying the tension. The Nixon Shock sent the value of the US dollar in significant decline (high inflation), which was the currency being used to buy OPEC oil. From OPEC's perspective they were facing declining revenues due to dollar inflation and were suspicious the Western nations were manipulating the global economy to their advantage. The Yom Kippur war brought everything to a head since it was those same Western nations who were supporting Israel. OPEC decided they'd had enough.
Presumably, yes, but is that actually how it works? I think we need a primer on how Chinese companies are structured. What does it mean to own 60% of a company if that doesn't give you any real control over the company?
