Apple can can certainly limit the scope of use for the data collection for quality assurance only. But it’s probably worded much more broadly.

Will this be a precedent setting case?

I suspect that the tax will actually be born by the corps. They would still need to pay their employees competitively to attract talent, so the only option this have is to boost pay proportionally to the tax.

Nope. Hackernews is an leftist ideological echo chamber and I love it.

I will explain. Hackernews is a leftist ideological echo chamber. If you scroll through this thread you’ll notice downvoted posts don’t even get a good reply as to why they’re wrong.

The down-voters are hurt and clueless.

That’s not the real problem. The real problem is By leaving America is doing charity work. Another player from another country is just going to fill in the void. The idea of voluntary exit is as good as we should all be model citizens.

Indeed an idea as good as communism. It’s beautiful on paper.

This article is incredibly ignorant, and is more of the same realities detached day dreaming that the left likes to partake.

Why should American businesses voluntarily abandon an sizable overseas market and supply chain when China keeps getting access to our home market? In effect, placing a punitive tariff over our own heads and puts our American firms at a competitive disadvantage over our European and Chinese counterparts? Why should such a tax be born by the American corporation, workers and taxpayers?

If America has decided to decouple from China, then the solution should be legislative as it creates a level playing field for all firms involved, such that no one in particular is punished by a voluntary withdraw.

The saving grace is I believe world leaders are aware of this “you withdraw you loose” dilemma and are starting to cooperate to form a unified front against China. Donald Trump did well in waking the world up against the Chinese threat, but I’m afraid we now need a diplomat to finish the war.

Very insightful. Please share more.

I’ve been taking up meditation and bubiddism but still very much a novice. I find that as you open your mind and see through more things, in a way things gets less interesting. It’s that feeling that you’ve seen this movie before. Maybe this is normal for older people but I’m in my 20s and it feels very odd.

How do you deal with that and not feel like a zombie.

It matter because if you purchase multiple things your average shipping cost per item changes. If you only calculate shipping based on first item shipping cost it will be inaccurate.

You have a good point. But TikTok is much more risky, and as as such requires much more scrutiny given existing body of knowledge between how chinese social media / chat companies such as WeChat enforce government censorship and aid in propagating misinformation.

This might be a shock to most people in the western world, but if you go on almost ANY news website in china, the headline news is dedicated to government propaganda.

The reality is that Chinese firms and government operates together intimately. Nearly all sizable firms have a party secretary that is involved in board level decisions, and steps in when things get political. You can ponder who has the final say.

Might be a form of shifting the narrative and scapegoating for sure. But you have to admit that recent events have outlined a significant shift in Indian-Sino foreign policy. I don’t see this being reversed any time soon.

India is absolutely right in banning TikTok as it is a significant national securities threat.

As long as the platforms recommendation and ranking algos are a black box, there is no guarantee that China isn’t conducting misinformation campaigns via the platform.

At the very least, the government should audit the algos and make sure China can’t arbitrarily alter ranking results.

Tiktok can be a huge threat because their recommendation algorithms are black box. This makes them capable of controlling how potentially dangerous information is disseminated in the United States, including topics influencing elections.

Um. CSS isn’t loading on safari mobile. I hope this isn’t the actual experience ?

Why can’t mozilla roll out a encrypted dns service in a form of a browser setting or plugin? Does the browser not have control over how the dns is resolved ?

Stories like this makes me wonder if episodes such as this one are much more prevalent than we hear.

So Microsoft no longer has a strong foothold in the browser market and shit like this is no longer considered anti-competitive?

Can someone tell this person that this site is probably still on way back machine? And he or she should request it to be removed.

What’s preventing streamers from streaming to multiple platforms at once. Is it against he Eula or something ?

Very interesting. I think this would likely lead to lawsuits today, under a complaint violating DMCA.

Certainly. But the risk is incredibly high. If trump gets re-elected he’s going to go after these guys big time. Breaking them up would not be stretching the imagination.

Censoring trump is the nuclear option.

This and eroding section 230. I wonder if tech companies are going to fire back at trump.

What’s happening here? Did the guy manage to install OS X on an iPad? Is this a supported feature or a hack?

Let me take a total shot in the dark. The country responsible starts with a C and ends with a A.

What a messy situation. In today’s day and age you never know what’s real anymore.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this group was ran by some trump associate in secret to peddle their narrative.

I’m not the conspiracy type but I find with the trump campaign the ordinary gets thrown out of the window. Just crazy allegations after one another.

Wow. Never knew. This is incredibly bold of the campaign.

Given the high ethical standard of Mozilla I’m not sure how popular this will be.

For example, a while back there were research showing nord was setting up users as proxies, there by making it impossible for Netflix to block these residential ips.

I don’t think Mozilla will do this.

Why not just wire the Linux box to the car battery? Most after market dash cams do this to capture accidents during parking. Certainly a low power device is enough ?

Am I the only skeptic here? 2030 is a decade away, and lyft needs to figure out how to stay afloat NOW.

It is not as well positioned as Uber on some important fronts such as diversifying its product offerings into food, prescription drugs etc... and it really needs to have an answer there.

I’m more concerned with if lyft will be able to attract enough capital to stay afloat rather than what kind of cars it will have in 10 years.

This seems like a way for the CEO to plant anchoring bias to me, where by displaying it thinks long term, gives the impression that there is nothing to worry about in the short run.
