Have you ever wished there was a way to get around downtown Toronto minimizing time walking in the freezing cold? There is now!

I just spent the better part of last year walking on the PATH and building this app to help optimize my commute staying indoors.

The censors in this case are Apple and Google, acting at the behest of the US Government. This news isn't about Tiktok censoring, rather about it being censored. Apple and Google are the platforms/publishers.

(There are also a whole host of other service providers that might be put into the position of being censors if Tiktok were to ignore the law and continue working for sidedloaded apps).

Lately I've noticed this more frequently with Shorts. It brings about an interesting dilemma because I know for the algorithm to work and benefit creators, people need to watch videos with few views. But I also don't want to spend my time to figure out if a video is worth watching for the benefit of the algorithm.

I'm curious if there are folks here who work at for-profit orgs who use GitHub projects as their sole issue tracker for the entire org. How do you do it and what are the common pain points? Do you couple it with other issue trackers/project management tools like Jira? If so—why?

I still feel GH Projects is solely aimed at OSS or dev-centric or dev-only orgs and doesn't cater to teams with non-devs, which is how I think most orgs function. I'm not sure if it'll ever try to be something more than that but I really wish it did.
Good point! "Whenever" is probably even closer to the correct meaning.
> What about the principle of reciprocity?

This sounds good on the surface, but China and the US have very different regimes. Full reciprocity would mean turning the US into a China style dictatorship. For instance, if China censors western press in their country should we be censoring Chinese press here?
Depends on the colony. The bees that have stung me have always taken 5 or 10 seconds to start trying to dismantle themselves in earnest, which (depending on location) is usually enough time to rescue them.

No it didn't.

It said the conjured-up-out-of-nothing right in Roe v. Wade was not a valid argument that the federal government (through the Constitution) explicitly protects abortion.

Even legal scholars on the left admitted before the decision Roe v. Wade was a decision on very shaky ground and liable to be overturned.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/06/john-hart-ely-do...

So it was overturned, and the decision was the state's, not the federal government under current laws.

Nothing stops Congress from passing a national law on abortion. If they do, then the Supreme Court will recognize it.
I've got Shimano Di2 shifters on my road bike and they're very luxurious to use.

Advantages:

The controls are simply electronic switches, so you don't need much finger strength to operate them (reputedly these make them useful for people with hand strength issues such as arthritis) and also this means that you can reconfigure them (e.g. a one-armed cyclist can move the relevant controls to just one side) or even add extra controls such as sprinter buttons.

If you've got double/triple chainrings, then the gear change can incorporate the switch-over point so you can just change up or down a gear and let the electronics handle when the chainring shift should occur (this can be changed in the software too according to your preferences).

Also, with regards to the chainrings, the shifting system can adjust the front derailleur to accommodate the chainline better i.e. the front derailleur may need to be a mm or two further over for the smallest or biggest rear cog to prevent the chain rubbing. That's commonly referred to as "trim" and can usually be done manually on a manual gear system.

Probably the biggest benefit is highly reliable shifting - once set up, it will perform perfect shifts every single time, whereas traditional gears will need adjusting as the gear cable inner stretches over time.

As to disadvantages, the biggest issue is the price and the next problem would be that you need to keep the battery charged up or otherwise you're not going to be able to change gear. Typically, a single charge will last for thousands of shifts or a few months. I've also had the battery fail and unfortunately, they're very expensive to replace as the battery component also houses the main electronics for the system (e.g. the brain).
Like the article says, you can have _opaque_ references. It's really a small step forward but does address a major pain point.

So for your first question. Yes you can hold a reference, so the major benefit is that dead objects via things like memory cycles aren't an issue any more (previously connecting objects between WASM and JS worlds needed manual references that outside of something like C++ RAII would be brittle).

For the second part, it would depend on the compiler but since Java/C++ would both live in a WASM world they should be possible to combine fairly painlessly (given a sane way to declare linked functions that are named properly), I'd put it's interoperability issues at the same level as PInvoke from C#.
Exactly.

And anyone is free to fly to China and have conversations.

Or read the state-run media from China.

These free speech arguments seem to have the prior that TicTok is literally the only communications channel.
> Finally, remember that the only legal text you are bound by (if at all) is the actual text of the GPL license. It does not matter what Stallman says he intended with the GPL, or what the GPL FAQ says should happen in some fantasy land.

Tell that to the lawyers when they send you a cease and desist.

The reason non-gpl compliant software don't touch GPL is not because there might be a loophole, it's that there is ni precident set in court and they don't be the ones needing to do it. This requires lawyers with expertise in both copyright law and contract law. It doesn't matter what is copyrightable if you agreed to a contract that you wouldn't do that and that is what the GPL is, a contract that you agree to that mentions how you are allowed to use the code in question.

In the end whether the GPL is enforceable in these edge cases is up to the courts not your interpretation of it and if you project becomes a roaring success do you really want to spend time and money on lawyers that you could rather spend on development.
Ronald Reagan used to tell a story like this from his sportscasting days.

This paints it as if Gitea was not a fork of Gogs specifically to turn a profit out of something they did not make on their own. I might be more sympathetic if they'd created Gitea, but given it's a fork of another project, it looks a lot like they're playing the same game that beat them.

> This ban was because unlike western media and social platforms the narrative was not under their control.

Western "old" media and social media is filled with reporting about how useless and untrustworthy democratic governments are. If that is the narrative that the US government is setting it is weakening itself.

Of course there are very real reasons that citizens of democracies should not trust their government. Not least that in many cases government decision making has been captured by billionaires and corporations. But I very much doubt China or Russia want to see this problem solved.

Honestly don't see much difference between the goals of global corporations and a hostile nation like China or Russia, they both want democracy to fail and governments weakened. But the corporation probably doesn't want total collapse of society. If paths for a hostile government to exert control can be removed I'll happily take the small win.

That doesn't follow. A third option is: shut down, wait for the pushback and for things to return to how they were before. And it might just be working.
My read on the situation is that this is the beginning of clamping down on _all_ (or most) of this. Also important to note the difference between racism and national security. The notion isn't "wacky chinese people ooh so mysterious so sneky", it's that the government isn't the US's ally and has (valid) reasons to want to reduce the US's grip on the global stage.

It's not (just) that it poses an economic threat to one of the biggest US companies (which as you said, I'm sure plays a big part in why it's suddenly relevant), but that it allows a government-influenced foreign media channel to influence policy indirectly by means of mass dissemination.

As for why now and not before, it's because of how apparent the possible effects are now that there's a very direct and widely spread channel that can pump OUT information, which is vastly more effective and obvious than passive surveillance through cameras or other hardware. (Also cybersecurity people have been calling out this sort of stuff for hardware since time immemorial)

Ask HN: Startup founder to full-time employee
I will soon be starting a full-time job after having run a startup for the last decade.

The first thing I am trying to plan for is I don't want the rigidity of office life to be a shock and cause burnout. I know going from being my own boss to having a boss will be hard but I am looking for hacks to manage it.

Secondly, I am going to have a lot less free time. How would you cut down/manage your swathes of hobbies to fit into your new limited free time?

I have high functioning ADD and usually manage to fudge my time management requirements to get by, but this may require a crowd sourced solution.

> It's a free world.

Highly debatable, if not outright laughable.

> the Irish Examiner (circulation 23,387)

You're off by a lot there. The 23,387 figure is purely for print copies; and a daily figure as opposed to monthly.

Wiki states: ...the Examiner markets to advertisers on the basis of its print and online audience, stating in 2017 that "236,000 people read the Irish Examiner in print or online every day".

Tbh I don't even know why you brought circulation up; it has no bearing on the strength of the argument presented in tfa. Would it hold more weight if posted on Facebook??
> At this time, Bloom filter was not even called Bloom filter. In his paper, Douglas calls it a “superimposed code scheme”.

A Bloom filter is a specific type of superimposed code.

Calvin Mooers developed random (1) superimposed coding in his Master's thesis at MIT back in the 1940s, directly influenced by Shannon's work.

Bourne's superb 1963 book "Methods of Information Handling" gives details of the mathematics.

I've no doubt Douglas knew about the broader technique, which, for example, the author of "The Large Data Base File Structure Dilemma" (1975) at http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ci60001a005 described as "an old technique called super-imposed coding".

(1) The "random" is an important qualifier because there were superimposed codes predating Mooers, but they were not mathematically interesting or all that practically important.

Sure, but even you would agree that if you have even less venues to discover said messages, it'll get more and more heterogeneous?

Maybe TikTok isn't "The last standing beacon for Freedom of Thoughts" exactly, but banning it certainly doesn't get you closer to plurality of opinions.

>Let's start with "no one has heard of mastodon" because no one is spending money marketing it to joe public. Sure it'll spread by word of mouth, but honestly that's not terribly compelling

While I think Mastodon's irrelevance is deserved, let's also be fair to the "incumbents": Facebook, Mysterious Twitter X, Reddit, et al. gained and maintain their critical mass from word of mouth.

Many other would-be upstarts in history also usurped thrones by word of mouth, foremost example being Firefox against Internet Explorer.

Mastodon's problem with becoming relevant (and also BlueSky's problem with upending Mysterious Twitter X) is far more fundamental than lack of awareness.
I feel like it's important to include "the ability for China to easily [...]" since that's probably the top reason TikTok is affected by this and not others who are identically able to "easily influence on a large scale".
It's really not complicated, that article is just being excessively verbose for clarity. The UI itself explains it very well, it takes just a couple of minutes to log into both servers and set up the transfer.
This is a nice narrative, but has not been consistent with how counter-disinformation has been applied in the contemporary US. It matters less what you say than who is making you say this. For example the founders of Tenet Media were indicted for allegedly conspiring with Russia. Those featured on the channel, such as Tim Pool and Dave Rubin, received millions of dollars from Russia sources for spreading narratives that happened to align exactly with Russian propaganda. This should have raised major red flags as their videos typically received modest viewership (in the order of 10k). The DOJ had every opportunity to indict them as well. However, because it's unlikely that it could be proven that they were knowingly conspiring with Russia, so they were free to go.
I'm amused by all of it.

Especially the way the companies make LLMs appear more human. It will be the same with "PhD level" ... utterly useless in terms of evolution or cognitive performance. Efficient and fast scripts that can take any request and data and give a precise result is all super-agents are good at.

And that's a lot. And we are happy.

The rest is just pretty standard PR & content media for another 10 years.

Epstein friend Donald Trump is a rapist, felon, charity-stealing serial liar with a God complex. He is an undeniably stupid man who has a hilarious blindness to his own idiocy. His first term was one disaster after another. His second is likely to end the American Empire: If it doesn't lead to the dissolution of the Union, it will destroy America economically and geopolitically. The era of China's dominance begins tomorrow.

The majority of news media, including supposedly "Liberal" venues like the NYT, have been sane washing this corrupt trashman for the years. That he got the nomination and then won the election was entirely courtesy of a bought and paid for media. There is literally no low that is even really notable any more -- oh look, the felon conman launched a new shitcoin crypto to extract billions more from the presidency...eh, whatever -- yet any misstep by his opponents received nonstop coverage.

The US is toast. Short of a literal armed revolution or armies of Luigis, your country is done. It has been overthrown by the stupid who are being levered by the oligarchs.

And just to be clear, US politics has been astonishingly corrupt for decades. We all knew it. This is the end result. It's the Stage 4 cancer that is the end of the line for the US political system. It was an inevitable idiocracy.

As someone who is part way down this slope, let me tell you: it's not like you're fine, you're fine, you're fine...BOOM! you spend your life going to the doctor. Instead, it starts with "I go to the doctor every few years because I remember to," to "I have this one thing that requires me to check in annually," to "I have to double-check the pills I'm taking in the morning to make sure I'm taking all the right ones," to "It seems like I always have 1-3 doctor appointments pending," to, I'm assuming, what you're describing.

That makes it harder to pick the point where you should step onto the ice floe and wave good-bye to your family.
