The Communications Act of 1934 limits foreign ownership of many communication technologies such as TV. TikTok has easily more influence than most TV channels so it does not seem strange to limit its foreign ownership. If the purchase of US steel by a Japanese company threatens national security, surely the ownership of TikTok is also one.

No, but they can direct the federal government to deprioritize enforcement.

Sale or ban of all US companies in every country. Imagine u could own the branding, technology, IP, revenue and profits of US companies. Country can use that to massive benefit their citizens, end poverty, hunger, bring free healthcare and education, balance currency and trade, increase tax revenues. All US companies can be Indian, Germany, France, UK, Brazil, all nations in Africa, Middle east companies.
Well I just thought of something obvious... Have a function that lets you pass in an ArrayBuffer, then it brings it into the virtual address space of the WASM program. Function would return the virtual address that was assigned to that array buffer. From there, you call into WASM again with that pointer, and the program can take action.

Then there would be another function to relinquish ownership of the ArrayBuffer.
In Western Europe at least, cows are kept in pastures, which are permanently dedicated to that use and not used as fields to grow crops. All in all, cows are probably only low carbon in premodern rural contexts in West Africa and Asia for instance.
In the article they talk about how printing an error from the anyhow crate in debug format creates a full backtrace, which leads to an OOM error. This happens even with 4 GB of memory.

Why does creating a backtrace need such a large amount of memory? Is there a memory leak involved as well?
These arguments become so vague to me that it just feels like an excuse for governments to do whatever they want.

Calling it "Grey zone conflict" feels like the "Deep state" shenanigans... It's primarily marketing to achieve your goal.

We've seen the invasion of Iraq; that was all based on lies. We got ISIS as a result... "National security circles" look for evidence so it fits their narrative. Like watching FoxNews. It's a very narrowminded funnel of carefully picked pieces of evidence. They are not truth seekers that aim to provide a holistic view of the situation. No, they are scared aged men who love to control the narrative and see danger in everything in the hope to get more funding for their next projects.

Btw; banning TikTok is a good thing, but for other reasons entirely.

>positioning it as a match for Cortex-X

Well the recent Cortex X5 or 925 is already at around 3.4mm2 so that comparison isn't exactly accurate. But I would love to test and see results on Skymont compared to X4. But I dont think they are available yet ( as an individual core ).

I am really looking forward to Clearwater Forest which is Skymont on 18A for Server.

And I know I am going to sound crazy but I wouldn't mind a small SoC based on Skymont and Xe2 Graphics for Smartphone to Tablets.
I think if you were accomplishing something when you were working for a living, you might regret it if you were no longer accomplishing anything when no longer working for a living.

You could probably say about the same thing whether you were working for a living, working for survival, or working to create wealth.

When you think about it, what is the actual dividing line between these types of work?

Or perhaps non-work in a retirement environment?

The commenter above you said that the US-China relationship is not zero-sum, and has brought enormous economic benefits to both sides.

Your response was essentially, "But what about Hong Kong, the South China Sea, Taiwan and political dissidents?" That's a complete non sequitur.

You moved the conversation from one about mutually beneficial economic relations to one about how awful China is because of XYZ. The natural response to that is that the US is awful because of a different litany of XYZ. Yet you've decided that we're now talking about how terrible China is (which is irrelevant to the original topic of mutually beneficial relations), and anything else is whataboutism.
In almost every country, the President or the Parliament selects Supreme Court Justices. In some countries, the President picks x, and the Parliament picks y. They don't have terms. Direct democracy does not make sense when selecting justices.
The law quite clearly states bytedance aka tiktok so yea tiktok is 100% banned and the penalty is massive fines that would essentially bankrupt them.

China also bans TikTok. That should tell you everything you need to know about whether they believe it is a positive influence.

Name one bad thing that happened to some innocent person because from XKEYSCORE.

I bet you don't even understand how XKEYSCORE works. NSA wasn't illegally wiretapping anyone with it. The whole surveillance program was simply massive data collection, with metadata tracing. It just so happens you can derive a lot of personally identifiable info from the metadata. And you can say thats bad, but then again people really don't give a shit about privacy in the sense that they aren't willing to forgo the comforts of modern apps and devices for actual privacy (for example, see reaction to Tik Tok ban)

On the flip side, we do have evidence of Russia meddling in US politics. We do have foreign nationals commit acts of terror on US soil. We do have Chinese spies and information leaks.

So yea, I consider these programs defensible, because I grew out of my high school libertarian phase, and realize that the world is a bit more complex than "suits in charge".
We have nukes. If they try to kill us, everyone dies. "Foreign adversary" just means they're big enough to get a seat at the table in a multipolar world.

That also happened, e.g. YouTube (Google) operated in China prior to 2009, but Google US didn't much like censoring things on behalf of China.
It was explicitly written in this law specifically that the president can unilaterally decide that an affected platform has done enough to no longer qualify for the ban.
> Do I use TikTok? No, I've always advocated against it.

This, to me, is a weird stance. On what grounds did you advocate against it?

I just had to create a new account tonight after the ban[0] to keep using it. When you first start TikTok you might be presented with a wave of seemingly crap, bizarre or boring videos, but after several minutes of liking and watching the good stuff the algorithm very quickly starts serving you some excellent content.

There is some really, really great, really smart content on TikTok. I have always advocated for TikTok on those grounds.

There is literally no content being banned. All the talk about the U.S. trying to censor is nonsensical, as all the opinions by the members of the unanimous Supreme Court clearly pointed out, considering any of those opinions can be made in the hundreds or thousands of other social media avenues.

The entire situation hinges on TikTok’s ownership. They could sell themselves to any organization based outside China and have been given multiple opportunities to do so and they’ve refused.

That tells you all you need to know about the priorities of ByteDance, considering the U.S. was their biggest market since they’re banned in both China and India, the only other countries larger than the U.S.
You don't need a no-op; you can always just flip a bit you don't care about (e.g. reserve a word just for that) and then jump to next instruction.
They arent "just" an arab media. They are financed and controlled by the dictatorship of qatar. That is like claiming Russia Today was domed because it was a "slavic" network. No it was domed because it is propaganda financed and controlled by a dictatorship.
Not only have they created those APIs, they've actually created hardware devices to collect and store such valuable personal data. Banning certain APIs is just another layer of whack-a-mole - we need them to pull the weed out by its roots!
Actually they are specifically named in the law lol, i wasnt expecting that but it very clearly up front states it.

Facebook is not being banned from China. China just asks that Facebook sell itself to a non-American company or they will be banned (but it's not a ban). Any of those opinions China is "suppressing" by not allowing Facebook can be shared offline in countless unmonitored avenues like back alleys and open fields far enough away from lip reading drones.
It is all about context.

A "free dogs" sign at a dog shelter would indicate them giving them away for free (they usually don't intentionally). (And still your own cost of transporting etc)

A "free dogs" sign on a protestors slogan outside a dog breeding for food factory, probaly something different.

In context of software, free software creates the expection free of cost mostly.
And by now slowly and slowly, also free to do what I want. Sort of. Because there is this ideological battle of what is more freedom, free also to comercialize again, or is more freedom to allow anything? And that battle and different definitions, is pretty confusing to outsiders. The GNU version I don't like for that reason.

"To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.” We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish word for “free” as in freedom, to show we do not mean the software is gratis."

It makes things confusing without need. Result is, outsiders don't help so much or want to get involved.
> But 27-bit hash codes were too big: with 2^15 words, they needed 2^15 * 27 bits of memory, while the PDP-11 had only 2^15 * 16 bits (64kB) of RAM—compression was essential.

I'm frustrated when people put this kind of typography on the web. HTML can do superscript.
Given the technical nature of this forum, its absolutely mind boggling that people still don't understand what the surveillance programs were about.

If you want to use an analogy, its more along the lines of people living in houses and driving cars made out of pure glass that are completely see through, with faces blurred, and NSA just having a cameras around. If you are going to tell me that this is an abuse of power, its like an argument comparing US to absolute utopia.
I'm no fan of trump, but the law explicitly states that the president can exempt a platform.

> The Act exempts a foreign adversary controlled applica-
tion from the prohibitions if the application undergoes a
“qualified divestiture.” §2(c)(1). A “qualified divestiture” is
one that the President determines will result in the appli-
cation “no longer being controlled by a foreign adversary.”
§2(g)(6)(A).

Amusingly, the slogan on the right hand side says: "we don't start wars, we finish them".
That does not make any sense.

I can post identical videos to different platforms and get massively different reach. I have one video that has >2m views on Reels, but only 200 views on TikTok, and vice-versa.

Given all the very partisan flip-flopping on TikTok, I'm guessing there's not much to the "full and classified reasoning" and the real reason is more like "damn kids don't read my twitface posts, instead they call me names on a Chinese app, China CHina CHIHIANANANADASARtGHHGLE" and "My opponent has a lot of traction on TikTok, let's shut it down".

Palword vs Nintendo is not a trademark case but a patent one. People in gaming are notably very much not in love of patents restricting what games can or can't do.
This entire thread could be removed and only this comment should be kept. Unfortunately people have bought into this idea that all players in this game are following the rules. The US government is an extremely complex system and there is no way they would have reached a bipartisan conclusion on this if there wasn’t strong (confidential) evidence to support it.

> and (c) requires a language feature (sequence points) to disambiguate in which order side effects get executed. With Haskell, we just don’t have to care.

Reading up to this point, I had to chuckle a bit. I have struggled with the Haskell type system more than I care to admit; It's almost never "we just don't have to care" when comparing to most other popular languages.

That being said, this article does a nice job of gently introducing some of the basics that will trip up somebody who is casually looking through code wondering what *> and <*> and <* do. As usual, there is a steep learning curve because of stuff like this all over the codebase. If I walk away for a month, I need to revisit >>= vs >> and other common operators before I can be productive. It probably doesn't help that I never actually speak to a human about these concepts so in my head it's always ">>=" and not "bind."
I don't play online games either (or chess, for that matter), but as I understand it quite a lot of the anti-cheat tools work by trying to detect if cheating software is running. Since it's trivial to modulate the exact hash of a .exe, it works by heuristics, similar to anti-virus software. False positives with this are not uncommon, just as false positives in anti-virus isn't uncommon.

This is different from chess.com, which looks purely at the in-game behaviour. Chess cheating is probably a lot easier to detect reasonably reliably, as it's so much more limited: you just have a 8x8 grid, limited game pieces, clearer win and lose conditions, etc.

So in short, I don't think the situations are really comparable.
Buying aggregated data is in no way comparable to owning the collection method itself.

So the alternative is to defend democracy by letting a foreign authoritarian entity take over your country in the name of (their) freedom?

I don’t get how can Americans be so insecure about themselves and have such fragile trust in what they can achieve as a country. This idea that foreign authoritarian regimes should be respected as much as their own people and system is just baffling.

Thanks for the ref. Not sure why that particular user got banned. A search just now on RedNote using the hashtag "gay" returns 8.7k posts. The results show plenty of men in skimpy clothing with uncovered nipples.
Can someone please explain to me, why it is illegal to publish biased media? Please relate your answer to US native broadcasters like Fox News.

The public discourse in the US appears very distorted. The rececently elected legislative heavily tampers with the executive/judicative and somehow this is stil democratic?

IMO the tiktok ban is only about media control, no morale or legality, just political power and somehow there is still free speech for all?

All this is so bizare to me. I dont expect reasonable answers.
> the law explicitly states that the president can exempt a platform.

This feels like a fast track path to an oligarch system ? Pay enough and get your exception..
"free as in free to modify and share"

If you add a free to use, I would agree. For me it has both meanings. And in your definition it is kind of implicated, but in others not necessarily.

" To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.” We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish word for “free” as in freedom, to show we do not mean the software is gratis."

The last part is bothering me. Because yes, de facto it means free as in beer. I don't have to pay money to download the source and run my own version, except paying for my infrastructure.
Isn't it the exact opposite? Every single house in the modern world has running water—it wouldn't be code-compliant, in any functioning country, to not have that. That was a high-status luxury in Rome. (It was even a largesse of the Emperor to be gifted[0] the right to have a private plumbing connection to an aqueduct—something considered highly desirable in that world).

The fact people today build inexpensive plastic Thermae as a novelty object, reflects how thoroughly we've solved all the *actually hard* problems of water infrastructure. The formerly expensive parts are now unimaginably cheap, so, we're exploring new places to cut costs that we previously wouldn't think of.

(It's akin to how computer keyboards are now 10x cheaper and junkier than they were in the 1960's–1980's (?), because, the other problems having been solved, that became a new focus of economization. No one would think twice about paying (the modern equivalent of) $100 for a well-engineered mechanical keyboard, in an era when the corresponding PC went for $5,000. The expensive object reflects an economic difficulty elsewhere; and the expensive Roman stonework baths perhaps reflected the costliness of water in general).

The thing is that Elon Musk is not just some guy with an opinion. He's some guy who has an opinion and owns a major social media platform where he tweaks the algorithm to serve his own purposes, similar to what TikTok is being accused of.
I'm less certain that it's a slippery slope than it is a fine line. The government does not appear to have a problem with the speech occurring on TikTok. It is not trying to apply censorship or forcing the app to close down. It tried to force it to be sold away from its Chinese ownership. It tried to mitigate the possibility that a foreign adversary can use the app as a tool for its own interests. Had TikTok divested itself instead of shutting itself down the dancing would have continued on.
“The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership, but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power, but to draw attention away from it. On those criteria, Zaphod Beeblebrox is one of the most successful Presidents the Galaxy has ever had — he has already spent two of his ten presidential years in prison for fraud.” -Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy http://crn.hopto.org/media/#government

I’ve seen social media posts by Chinese users on how not to get censored / banned on RedNote, and one common tip is to not share any LGBTQ content. Clearly there’s a fear about it, and gullible young people who flocked to little red book are only understanding reality when they get suddenly banned for something harmless.
