I've heard this effect put into more positive terms: If the ship is on a good course, making it hard to steer also makes it hard to sink.
Fake comment. The headline uses the word rates not beats. Not everything can be perfectly unambiguous all the time.
When is an index more useful than full text search? I derive a lot of pleasure when I can open a huge text on my laptop and instantly find exactly what I'm working for by searching for one or two words.
I'm not making China out to be an omniscient bogeyman. The U.S. has used companies to gain access to secure systems in other countries. It's just a reality that ANY country can do this. To deny that is to either be a…
Responding to your other comment: the app has access to your camera. Nothing is stopping it from using your camera, without your knowledge, and then uploading what it captures while a user browses their TikTok feed.
Modern apps are obfuscated and use certificate pinning to avoid network traffic introspection. It's really not simple to decompile an app into something understandable.
Yes, of course it's ok. The role of a government is to do what is in the best interest of its citizens. If there is a possible threat from a foreign adversary, the government should deal with it.
I think you're missing the forest for the trees. Publicly posting confidential information is definitely bad. Bringing a device that can covertly collect information for adversaries is even worse.
I was responding to the comment asking why TikTok should be banned vs. other social media.
The TikTok app may have camera access and location access. It could capture images and send them to China when it detects its on a military base without the user even knowing. It’s so annoying to see “what about X”…
What’s more likely? A service that vacuums up every piece of data vacuuming up microphone data, or the same service intentionally excluding this one random piece of data? Every time this comes up, people jump up and say…
It would be ok to discuss another topic, but this particular case was using the behavior of a private British firm to somehow make the researchers look hypocritical (or having an agenda) because they are also based in…
Classic whatabout-ism. A single, private British firm did something terrible, so the Chinese government can do whatever it wants now?
Network infrastructure is just a microcosm of the issues facing small countries. They need protection, access to markets and resources, investment, and access to technology just to name a few.
It's in the article: "Natural gas that is consumed on the site and would have otherwise been vented or flared under the authority of the Wyoming oil and gas conservation commission has no value and is exempt from…
They have almost 0 community spread. A fact which many in the west respond to by saying that they’re faking their numbers, which completely ignores all of the counter measures they’ve taken. I have colleagues in China,…
But someone told me insurance companies are bad and are stiffing those poor, struggling doctors and hospitals.
I believe the average down payment on a house for first time buyers is around 5% these days (in the US): https://www.bankrate.com/mortgages/how-much-is-a-down-paymen...
This totally misses the point that there is no where else you can get 20x leverage at < 3% interest. Even with modest appreciation, you're going to make a lot of money putting 5% down on a house.
Even without FTL travel, just having constant acceleration at 1g is enough to travel the width of the galaxy in 12 years ship-time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_travel_using_constant_ac....
This argument makes no sense. Medical bills are the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. Hospitals knowingly employ out-of-network doctors so they can bill patients huge sums directly.
I do feel that insurers get the short-end of the stick. The doctors and hospital are the ones charging $257,000. And they're also driving Teslas. I've lost all respect for the hospital system after receiving a $47,000…
I think this is a bad idea. The author is clearly self motivated, so why does he want to start a full-time dev career so early? College is basically the best time in most people's lives to explore ideas that they have.…
Talking to users is so, so important if you want to build a product people actually want. Discord gets a lot of hate in here, but I haven't found a better product for easily engaging your users. It's lower friction than…
France is the the largest nuclear energy exporter, but it only exports about 12% of its nuclear energy, which might be enough to move the domestic price.
