Copyleft licenses are supposed to prevent to an extent this sort of free riding, but they are no longer "fashionable".

I don't see the point of refusing to add additional (copyleft) terms to a license, only to end up hoping companies act as if the terms existed out of good will.

Companies like Google love the permissive licenses, and go as far as to sponsor MIT/BSD-licensed replacements to common building blocks like toybox.

The problem may not even be that China can control these narratives as much, but just that they (US as in the government/state institution) can't in the first place. Eg there had been complains about pro-palestine narratives dominating tictoc, even if there was no actual evidence this was manipulated (and I doubt it was). This is why i think that this is a case where the interests of the american people may not necessarily align with the "national" interests of wanting to ban tictoc (while the other cases are more about basic infrastructure or access to that), though i think eventually it will not matter much (if tictoc stays the grip for the US part of it by the US government is probably gonna be firmer).

This also can explain bytedance's approach of support and reassurance towards the incoming administration. I bet they care more about their company and not having to choose between two loss scenarios than about politics/international relations, just like most of big corporations in the world.
The thing that stood out to me was how, particularly in the first season, when people had no idea what to grab onto they just grabbed onto the first vague suggestion they heard and, not only that, did so with very few dissenters.

I think this is the mechanism propaganda takes advantage of. Where there's a gap in people's understanding, they can very easily inject their version of events into people's heads and people will broadly accept it. The knowledge vacuum wants to be filled when pushed for a decision. In fact it doesn't even need to be this highly overt form that we saw in the 20th century dictatorships, even relatively weak forms can still grip hard and then people are reluctant to walk back from them after the fact.

Some would accuse faithfuls of potentially being traitors merely for voting differently to how the group had done previously, on tenuous information, even though they had no idea whether the person they voted for was a traitor or not! Here we see how, when intentionally directed, propaganda can sustain the creation of the scapegoats out of those who dissent.

> almost got a cultist Neo-Nazi elected in Romania thanks to tiktok.

please stop spreading lies.

The Romanian supreme court presented no evidence and instead cancelled the election results while the election were still going on (citizen living abroad were still voting)

It was just an excuse to stop something NATO did not like from happening and I am saying it as a very left leaning person, anti-fascist and anti-Putin.

What happened in Romania is a pure and simple coup d'etat with no military intervention.

Besides: if tik tok could really win elections in EU, it means our democracies aren't remotely as strong as we like to believe.

And if that's true, imagine what the US can do, having by far the largest budget for these kinds of operations in the entire World.
It's the same with the US, haven't you seen how some topics were encouraged with the Biden administration and supported by our Californian "neutral" friends in LLMs and medias ? and suddenly there is Trump, and they all start to switch sides ?

I think this isn't shoddy engineering; I think you disagree with a design tradeoff that was consciously made here.

If CLIs are designed around facilitating the easiest means of editing the most commonly-edited word, different programs will end up with semantically very different CLIs. In some programs, the "noun" (e.g. file path) will be the thing most frequently edited. In some others, like systemctl, it'll be the "verb", like start/stop. That means that different programs designed around this principle will be semantically extremely inconsistent with each other.

On the other hand, if consistency of "base_command sub_command --subcommand-arg sub_sub_command --option argument" is taken as the guiding principle, many different tools will act semantically similarly. This enables unfamiliar users (talking first-time users or people who have just opened the manpage for the first time) to intuit the right way to present commands to those tools, rather than expecting them to memorize (or re-look-up as needed) each one's specific semantics.

While there's merit to both, I think the second one--systemd's CLI approach--is better. Put another way: the user-centric and consistent (with other applications) design are sometimes at odds in this way. A tool that is hyper-focused on optimizing the most common tasks for its (power) users risks oddball status and hostility to new users. It's important to pick a point on the spectrum that appropriately balances those two concerns. Python ("There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it") and the Apple HIG ecosystem both understand the truth of this: that it is sometimes necessary to trade away efficiency for familiarity/consistency. There's a reason Perl languished while Python grew.

Like, I get it. I've been a sysadmin/devops for decades, and the paper cuts add up. But it's easy to forget the paper cuts I'm not getting: modern tools are (generally, with exceptions) more consistent; there are fewer commands that are resistant to memorization and need to be looked up each time; fewer commands that lead to questions like "wait, is it 'cmd help subcommand', 'cmd --help subcommand', or 'cmd subcommand --help'? Am I going to have to Google how to get the help output of this command?"

>If Chinese apps are allowed, then China has a big advantage over USA

Historically speaking the biggest threat by far to the lives and livelihood of US citizens is the US government and corporate elite. Giving them more power to control what information the population can access is much more dangerous to the average American than giving the Chinese government some data.

And now we see the real reason Trump was embracing crypto.
The US constitution prohibits bills of attainder, i.e. targeted toward specific individuals. The US has also decided that corporations are people, so the concept should apply to them as well. Therefore, by their own reasoning this is unconstitutional.

I have very mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I hate hypocrisy (which this is) and rarely hesitate to call it out. On the other hand I believe "corporate personhood" is absolute bollocks. I resolve this in my own mind by saying that the ban on bills of attainder can be extended to corporations and other entities without declaring them persons. Laws should be statements of principle, timeless and equally applicable to all, not one-off actions targeted toward specific entities.

I read the message as more as being an ego stroke to someone that everyone else is ego stroking right now - seeing as Trump has a lot of influence over people further down in his party's org chart, there might be enough reason.

Trying to argue about legality is unlikely to hold much sway given how other legal issues ended.
And China propaganda is so powerful that US propaganda cannot counter this, even within US borders, following rules chosen by their own country, US propaganda is losing.

What makes Chinese propaganda so powerful, even in the form of silly 30 seconds dancing? Or perhaps the real problem is not this? But the existance of a single non western source of consent manufacturing?
Obviously in this context it is about China indoctrinating US girls. TikTok is banned in China.

China itself had the one-child policy because the country is full, like the EU. The US has declining birth rates.
I don't think that's right. It's specifically about China, an adversary we are teetering on the brink of open conflict with. If ByteDance was a south Korean company, I don't think this would have happened.

Are there other cases of verb-last besides pre-systemd init systems?

>So why hasn't it happened?

Off the top of my head, memory safety challenges for junior Haskellers (laziness footguns), State monad being fundamentally flawed: there is an inability to get at and log your application state just before a crash, bloated tooling, GHC frequently breaking existing code. Laziness and monadic code makes debugging painfully difficult.

I like Haskell for Advent of Code only.
Agreed.

But owning the platform makes influence far, far more efficient and that is why we should not allow our adversaries to do so.
I think 3 is a weak point. I've left multiple social media platforms several times and got sucked back in days or months later. That was when I was actively trying to not use them.

Edit: I think all it needs is a link from a friend to some TikTok content and they are back in.
> their business and government are intertwined

This completely depends on the company. There's no evidence that TikTok has been used as a Chinese propaganda vehicle, and the issue that led to TikTok being banned in the US was TikTok's refusal to bow to pressure to toe the line on Palestine/Israel. Unlike Facebook, TikTok did not suppress pro-Palestinian content, and that led to broad Congressional support for a ban.

I will say the one problem with it from the perspective of young people is they always get the dick.

* Young people suffer the hardest from the housing crisis

* Young people suffer the most in any kind of job market challenges

* Young people have the least say in elections

* Young people now give up the app they use that actually makes them happy and helps to forget about how shit the world has become for them. Also an app that makes some of them real money.

Basically, the youth have no real legislation in their favour while their quality of life continues to degrade. I imagine that gets old.

This is a rant from someone who supports the tiktok ban.. but I'd extend it to all social media.
I work in a company that creates (admittedly crappy) product for sysadmins (I have no say in design though, so don't blame that on me). I work in the infra / automation, so close to sysadmin, but not quite.

So, this isn't a foreign world to me... I still don't think that:

1. Starting a service is a big issue in general (most of the time this happens automatically anyways).

2. The command syntax of systemcl is defective in any way. Of all things that might be problematic with systemd, this is just not in the list at all. It's such a bizarre complaint to have... kind of like arguing whether "gray" or "grey" is the right way to spell it. Really, it's a whatever. There are much larger issues, even when it comes to comfort, not functionality of systemd tools. Like, for example, the autogenerated names of device units. I hate trying to recall the rules for writing these, and on top of that, having to escape characters just to type the unit's name. That's just a ridiculous design.

That's strawman that has nothing to do with this topic. If you follow this line of thought, everything that is discussed in classified briefings is being done in bad faith, which I agree is easy to argue for, because we tend to pick and remember only bad examples, lack of trust in the system probably doesn't help much either. So even if you're right about trusting Gov in general, your argument is still wrong.
this is not really the main concern. the real danger posed by TikTok is the ability to easily influence on a large scale.
A lot of this will seem trivial if you haven't used Github for an organization's management of issues. This also lets you start off with a markdown checklist, and convert items to sub-issues.
The cost of free speech, including commercial or propaganda, is people get manipulated by it. Some including myself argue is you end up with even more nefarious control when censored, rather than having the option of which if any propaganda apps you want to consume.

There are some controls like certain pornography, but if these exist they should apply uniformly, not based on whether we like the person publishing it.
I'm talking about close together in the cache. If a threadpool manager is hinted that 4 threads are going to share a lot of memory, they can be allocated on the same l2 cache. And no matter what, you're trusting software developers either way, whether it be at the app level, the language/runtime level, or the operating system level.
The difficulty is not whether the focus on simplicity has been excessive. It is the fact that where you have N persons, you have at least N notions of what simplicity is.
Agree!

For fun, I had put together a GitHub bot for this purpose a while ago. It indexes all existing issues in a repo, creates embeddings and stores them in a vector DB. When a new issue is created, the bot comments with the 3 most similar, existing issues, from vector similarity.

In theory, that empowers users to close their own issues without maintainer intervention, provided an existing & solved issue covers their use case. In practice, the project never made it past PoC.

The mechanism works okay, but I've found available (cheap) embedding models to not be powerful enough. For GitHub, technology-wise, it should be easy to implement though.

I don't use the app personally but I have friends who use TikTok and sometimes they would just casually tell me "oh yeah sometimes it shows me weird stuff like nazi videos, I just scroll past them"

The app's design is to get you to mindlessly doomscroll and not really think too hard about what it's showing you. If it shows you something insane occasionally it's no big deal, it's just the algorithm trying something new right?

It's very difficult to show any concrete evidence for how a secretive algorithm controlled by an adversary behaves. In an ideal world the burden should be on the platforms to prove that their algorithms are fair and not biasing towards certain viewpoints, but that might never happen.
every state has the right to enforce whatever laws it prefers within its own borders. it would be nice if the united states allowed other states to be sovereign at home instead of constantly interfering in their political decisions. as a non-american citizen, i couldn't care less if the usa bans tiktok. i consider it a legitimate decision by their government, whether i like it or not.

This entire article is flawed in my opinion.
Bees are not "suicidal". They are not meant to die after they sting.
It's just that they have not adapted to stinging mammals with elastic skin (and probably will not).
Bees can absolutely live after stinging if they manage to dislodge the stinger from the skin.
The author replied with additional explanations, so it seems that the additional 400MB were needed because the debug symbols were compressed.
Although there already is some overlap, younger generations would not adapt easily to a different platform; also the new US administration has different plans than the past one, and from their perspective controlling TikTok is way more useful than destroying it.
Having something work right is worth 10 account managers rolling in the mud in my opinion.
The argument seems a bit hysterical, it's not like everyone is forced to use TikTok, they can get hair tips, learn about Gaza, or get whatever views from TikTok, or Facebook, or Twitter, or Twitch or...

American's would have the freedom to choose what social media they want to consume, now they are forced to only have one controlled by a US billionaire.

> This was Volkswagen’s very own currywurst, with 30 employees turning out 18,000 sausages a day.

Historically, this has simply been a necessity for Volkswagen. The Volkswagen factory was build in the 30ies in a thinly populated area that was mainly chosen because it was next to the Mittelland canal. An entire city (Wolfsburg) was founded for the workers. The city's entire infrastructure had to be built from scratch [0], and of course this included farms and meat processing plants.

I don't even know what you mean by "adversary to the West."

China is a major country that has its own interests, which sometimes align with and sometimes are at odds with those of the US, EU countries, and other countries that belong to "the West."

The type of simplistic friend/enemy thinking that you're engaging in will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. As China hysteria continues to skyrocket to previously unforseeable levels in the US, the US will take ever more extreme measures, the relationship between the US and China will get worse and worse, and the two will eventually come into real conflict.

The only way to avert that fate is to counter simplistic "China is the enemy" thinking.

The first amendment applies to the communication of US citizens. If TikTok is found to be unlawful for non-free speech reasons and its distribution is outlawed, 1) Americans can still use it for communication and 2) Americans can use any number of other things for communication.

I have now found the documentation for ExecStop (in systemd.service(5)), which hopefully improves my understanding.

It definitely seems to be both "cause to stop" and "after (unexpected) stop" in one. You can look at $MAINPID to see which case you have. This design apparently makes sense to you, but to me and several others in this thread a service that has already stopped isn't in need of being stopped and shouldn't execute commands intended for that. (There is a separate ExecStopPost for "after stopping, for any reason".)
I mean if my password manger is compromised I'm pretty screwed anyway but this is a good idea too.
When my kids were little, we had glow in the dark pacifiers that lasted ALL NIGHT. I still don't know what sorcery was used to accomplish that, but if any of you have little ones, the MAM brand is what we used. Being able to spot the pacifier in the crib at 5am was a huge help some nights.

And now my kids each have an extra eyeball, which has proven very useful indeed.
I reckon it's mostly noise. An ad I saw three times in the sample was just an awful mobile game I don't deserve to be subject to ads about, and the other ad I saw twice was just based on my location.
When is manipulating the feed sufficient reason to shut down a service, though? It's also known that Twitter selectively amplifies speech based on owner whims, and it's not guaranteed that this amplification is not to the detriment of the USA / enrichment of foreign governments. The idea that we should trust an American owner to manipulate vs. a foreign government seems...well, just stupid. It seems like the manipulation should be disallowed across the board.
