The argument still works for another 10 year cycle. Hybrids are not the enemy. Pure ICEs are.

Hybrids (well phevs) can deliver huge % of electrification and efficiency while transitioning older, dumber, and more conservative drivers to EVs, home charging, without having to plan

As to the article, I don't think they were influential enough. This obviously wouldn't have happened with the Bush administration, but maybe in some parallel world where Gore when the election, we might have gotten a mandate that all consumer vehicles needed to be hybrids or phevs within 10 years.

The amount of gas that would have saved, The amount of development it would had on batteries and electric drivetrains, would have further paved the way for decarbonization.

Why semis did not become hybrids is beyond me. The electric drivetrain provides so much more torque and smooth acceleration, while providing obviously regenerative braking.
No, not for the App Store account — which can be a different one. Once you've downloaded an app with a different account, the credentials will be stored and you can switch back to the native one; you'll also get regular updates. I do this all the time for US-only apps on an EU phone (e.g. Google Voice).
Great, maybe this will add more energy to making things browser based instead of app.
well that doesn't really represent the situation here so it doesn't really matter what you'd prefer of those two options
This is number 1 bullshit
You can keep your purchases these days.

Though I when last changed countries I did find that I lost some purchases. I would guess it can happen when an item is not available in the new country.

There’s a rate limit on how often you change countries and you’ll need a payment method from the country you want to change to (e.g. a credit card issued in that country, the address on the card doesn’t matter).

You’ll also need to cancel e.g. your Apple TV+ subscription before you can switch.
From what I've read, user accounts are tagged as being US created and are therefore blocked from accessing the app.
This is a bad association even for people that recognize it. Presumably there were good years but most will probably remember the ugly endgame with awkward UX and weird ads masquerading as fake download links.
Sure they do, to allow them to remove malware. They don't use it often however.
Going to be fun to see what an everyone-but-US social media platform looks like.

wtf, in most of these it s only for government officials. Such a misleading title.
i dont want to argue about the definition of infrastructure. concretely, tiktok crosses the threshold of influence and risk where it is reasonable to require them to divest or close. no brainer.
Stiff systems like whatever version of Communism the Chinese have now, with Emperor for Life Xi don't do as well with changing circumstances and the buildup their own internal contradictions as well as the flexible democracies so there is more than just China's demographic collapse in the equation.
> how can the US government just ban an app? has this ever happened before in US history? what gives the government the right to tell US citizens what apps they can and can't use?

Being a government. They also get to tell you want kind of guns your allowed to have, what kinds of medicines you can take, and how much gas your car uses, and how your home has to be built.

Welcome to the real world, is this your first time here?
3d printing is underrated. It is now a very popular hobby so in that regard no. But say the tech advances to produce full colour prints and a plastic that developed that is easy to print, strong, 100c heat resistant, chemical, uv etc. You would have a mini factory in each home for many things.
To be fair neither are WebGL and WebGPU, versus the native API counterparts, the best you can get are shadertoy demos, and product visualisation on ecommerce sites.

Due to tooling, sandboxing and not having any control about what GPU gets selected, or why the browser blakckboxes it and switches into software rendering.
"has no way to remove installed apps"? Sure they do. But it's not a line they've crossed up to now.
> I do not participate in the creation of traditional media or social media. I cannot be part of the problem of trust being eroded away. That responsibility rests solely on the shoulders of those guiding discourse.

We are part of society. The outcomes are our responsibility and within our power - why do you think so many spend so much to manipulate public opinion? Even just posting here will spread narratives and influence others.
True, but that's a low hurdle for the new guy. More generally, its worth pointing out that the law as passed explicitly names TikTok/ByteDance, but locates a lot of authority with the president to determine 'adversary' and 'controlled' in potential future applications of the law.
Sounds like Tiktok has actually banned US users then, as well as US banning Tiktok (being removed from the App store)
Maybe we can update the title to reflect that its in America and not world wide?

The Fedora Project (Linux) is switching to this, FWIW https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-moves-towards-forgejo-a-un...
I mean there is still the FSF and there are plenty of interesting projects working in the decentralizing space.

My point it's just really moved to the periphery and is a subculture (and tied to crypto, which has a lot of shady things associated with it). The mainstream tech culture seems extremely nationalistic and terrified of the possibilities of a supranational unregulated unmoderated internet
I'm referring to mass defederation, defederation list sharing and mutual surveillance that followed it.
No opinion on TikTok itself as I've never used it, but I hope this wakes more people up to the fact that they're at the whim of the app gatekeepers and makes them demand the ability to run what they want on hardware they supposedly own.
Do not change the country of your account.
I think most folks are upset because the US always projects this open image about itself around the world and most importantly to it's citizens. However there are cases where it's actions go against this prevailing narrative and the people are starting to ask questions.
Same here, and the irony is Mozzilla opposing it hardly matters nowadays for the Firefox browser market, it is Google driving where WebAssembly goes.

Remember NaCL, and PNaCL SDKs, came with support for C, C++ and OCaml, the latter being an example for GC languages.

> Of course it can be an explanation for a trait. If you are genetically predisposed to high cholesterol, is that advantageous or disadvantageous? There's simply too little pressure to do anything about it.

If barbed stingers were a variation that occurred in some individual bees, but many other bees didn't have them, like predisposition to cholesterol in humans, then I'd agree.

But a trait can't be universal in a species, and even in many related species, unless there is explicit selective pressure for that trait, or if it's a remnant from a common ancestor that had it. Your high cholesterol predisposition example is actually perfect, it shows what happens with traits that don't have significant pressure for or against them: they remain confined to a subset of the population.

> Phenotypes aren't required to change in the smallest imaginable step. It's not implausible that nature decided "hey this next bee gets some furry yellow stripes, but also barbs" and here we are.

They generally are. The likelihood of a random mutation that produces several phenotypal changes but leaves the organism still viable is extremely low.
You asked for examples, and people have provided plenty of them - substantial ones about the ownership acting to support Trump. Do you really care about this issue or are you trying to defend Bezos?
Well - first step in the process - registering that I want to use 3rd party firmware with Bambu is completed - although it took opening a new browser session using "Incognito / In Private" mode before it stopped endlessly looping - and then still threw an empty error popup when I hit the "Join" button.

Now to head into the office later today, and install the rootable firmware and continue the X1Plus install...
So is TikTok not going to bother with a WebApp that connects to non-US servers?

Is the web capable of all native app functions yet? What’s missing?

I'm pretty sure I changed regions once on my old iPhone over a decade ago and it was fairly seamless.

Maybe someone who's done it more recently can comment?

It would be brutal if what you say is true. Simply moving is not something a user would expect to reset their whole account.

And if purchases were lost I would think it would be pretty strong grounds to bring a lawsuit against the company (especially if the apps were bought prior to any attempts by Apple to write in clauses permitting what'd amount to theft).
Does that hold for VPNs, or does it use app store download location?
They’re massaging his ego and quite honestly it might be their best strategy. A whole lot of people out there want their TikTok back and you can bet Trump would love to call the press conference announcing that he, and only he, did the greatest deal and got the app back. Classified briefing be damned.
The important bit: Intel E-cores now have 3x decoders each with the ability for 3-wide decode. When they work as a team, they can perform 9 decodes per clock tick (which then bottlenecks to 8 renamed uops in the best case scenario, and more than likely ~4 or ~3 more typical uops).
This is what happens when the process of law gets thrown out of the window and instead power is negotiated by people at the top. As someone who lived in a dictatorship -> democracy -> dictatorship, seeing tech CEOs pilgrimage to the Trump house, the US is critically close to turning into a dictatorship.
Here’s why I’m okay with it: China doesn’t allow American social media either
That’s dishonest of ByteDance. The legislated ban doesn’t mean the existing US users can’t use it right now. This message simply means that ByteDance made a business decision to shut it down for the existing US user base.

I understand several reasons they might be making that business decision, including supportability reasons. I also get why they might be choosing to explain the situation dishonestly. But understanding their potential motivations doesn’t make a dishonest explanation any less dishonest.

>Meta, X, Google could not come up with a better TikTok. So now they buy or ban what they can't conquer. Talk about free market.

What makes you think that, it's just an algo and network effects.

>I love the us vs them argument. Because it's baseless. Why don't you stop buying everything that's made in China. Let's see how far you get.

Because that would be harmful to US consumers. Lack of short video entertainment reccomended in a particular way is not very harmful. No microwaves or fridges for a couple of years is.

>Nobody is brainwashing anyone.

Influence operations on social media by nation states and others is a verified and ongoing concern. The US and others have been doing this for decades. If China is not doing it via Tiktok already, they would when the invasion of Taiwan starts.

>Except women the world over getting everything for free because they have holes. Nobody complains about that.

Edit

非常口,平常心?
Yes, traits can propagate even if there is no selective pressure for them. But they won't reach 100% of the species, even less so 100% of several geographically separated species (such as African and European bees) just because they aren't that bad. Could we contrive a story where it could be possible something like this does happen? Sure, but it would be very unlikely (basically, it would require only a small population that happened to have this minor handicap to have randomly survived some mass extinction event that killed off the entirety of the rest of the species).

SNS apps don't bother with a web version now I'm afraid, Twitter / Bluesky seems like the exception.
This is brilliant and elegant. It's quite satisfying to have ways to have older computers communicate with the rest of the world. Thanks, Cameron, for preserving and extending this work from and history of John Iannetta.
> I don't think America has faced a political rival like China since the Soviet Union; not sure if there were any restrictions on the distribution of Soviet software in the late 80s.

I doubt there were, because it would have been moot: the Soviets were so far behind on computer technology that they didn't really make anything anyone would want.

But more generally, the US was a lot smarter about trade with adversaries during the Cold War. There were significant restrictions on trade with the Communist Bloc that limited the kinds of entanglements we now have with China. The US got really stupid and overconfident after the Cold War ended, and that's only slowly starting to change (and this TikTok "ban" is a welcome part of that).
How old are you? The younger generation grew up post 9/11, post the great recession, post the COVID lockdowns. There has never been a time of economic stability. Combine that with being informed of world events at lightning speed, Its naturally going to lead to pessimism.
Unfortunately, I did not read the article and so they did remove the apps.
How do you propose that it works when Apple has control Molly with US law?
Note: the “app gatekeepers” in this context is the United States Government.
The unstated argument here seems to be that some secret government project might succeed, even as the public quantum computing efforts struggle.

I suppose, but in that case it's almost certain it was based on some novel concept, in which case we have no idea how to defend against it.
If Trump doesn’t enforce the ban, he will lose all credibility with his own base.
Uh the law specifically makes it illegal to distribute ByteDance apps

I'd be more than happy to have an anonymized hiring process. If you're right that in-group preference is what drives the gender disparity, we should expect an anonymized hiring process to produce an employee base that's closer to gender parity. Some companies have experimented with this [1]. But interesting no tech DEI advocate I've met in real life has been supportive of anonymized hiring. More than a few have actively disapproved, saying that anonymization tends to make the representation worse.

Huh, I didn't realize Marvel Snap fell under that umbrella ban. I play that game during lunch breaks, it's a good card game with 2-3 minute matches, developed by Hearthstone luminaries (though it's never been clear to me what gameplay benefit you got from season passes, ie what their business model is. I was unaware of security concerns like TikTok that Tracks Everything it can)

Upon launching the game on iOS, the following message appears:

> Unfortunately, MARVEL SNAP is temporarily unavailable on US stores and is unavailable to play in the US.

> This outage is a surprise to us and wasn't planned.

> MARVEL SNAP isn't going anywhere. We're actively working on getting the game up as soon as possible and will update you once we have more to share.

I guess we'll see how temporary it is.

Better, but WebGPU and WebGL aren't going to win any performance prizes either, and tooling is pretty much non existent.

Nothing like Pix, Instruments or Renderdoc, SpectorJS is the only thing you get after almost 15 years since WebGL 1.0.

And from the hardware level they support, it about PlayStation 3 kind of graphics, if the browser doesn't block the GPU, nor selects the integrated one instead of dedicated one.

Your are left with shaders as the only way to actually push the hardware.
