aritmo··on Statement of SEC Regarding Recent Market Volatility
The response is pretty weak. The system was gamed for so long and small companies were driven out of existence. They are pretty saying, let's see how this plays out and we figure out after the fact what to do.
aritmo··on BlackRock may have raked in $2.4B on GameStop's retail-driven stock frenzy
They have not "raked in" that amount. It is just that their position is at that value. And if they start selling, they are not likely to make $2.4B because the markets will not be able to absorb so much liquidity.
aritmo··on The world is dangerously dependent on Taiwan for semiconductors
And on Google for search.
aritmo··on US declares Xiaomi a “Communist Chinese military company,” bans investments
This needs translation:

"The US is doing an economic war against China and wants to harm major Chinese companies. They cannot ban them directly so they pick a pretext."

aritmo··on Sosumi Snap – Download and Install macOS in Ubuntu
All the necessary files come from Apple's CDN (Updates), https://github.com/popey/sosumi-snap/blob/master/snap/local/...

Check if there are any restrictions in your EULA when you access Software updates from your Apple computer.

aritmo··on Trump admin slams China's Huawei, halting shipments from Intel, others
This is Trump's war on China. He is also a wartime president.
aritmo··on Toxic positivity does more harm than good
That's not "positivity". That's 'gratuitous praise'.
aritmo··on When Amazon Switched from Sun to Linux
There is a common typo in the tweet thread, it's *vicious circle*, not viscus circle.

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuous_circle_and_vicious_ci...

aritmo··on Archaeologists in Turkey unearth 2,500-year-old temple of Aphrodite
There should be even more Ancient Greek temples in present-day Turkey.
aritmo··on Excess protein enabled dog domestication during severe Ice Age winters
"excess protein" is more interesting in a scientific paper than "offal and bones".
aritmo··on Julian Assange extradition to US blocked by UK court
...only because his treatment in the US would be inhumane.

And nothing else.

aritmo··on An automated pipeline for the discovery of conspiracy theories
Do these conspiracy theories appear organically or is there a special nudge to make them stick?

Who nudges the conspiracy theories to stick?

aritmo··on With Hacking, the United States Needs to Stop Playing the Victim
> The United States is, of course, engaged in the same type of operations at an even grander scale. We are active participants in an ambient cyberconflict that rages, largely unseen and unacknowledged, across the digital globe. This is a struggle that we can’t avoid, and there is no need to play the victim.

The author does not do "self-censorship". You get the impression that others apply self-censorship and some may not even realize this whole thing.

aritmo··on Emails show Navy's 'UFO' patents went through significant internal review
A patent gives you protection for your idea because you described it in the patent.

If the Pais effect is not described in detail, shouldn't that invalidate any patents?

aritmo··on China Broke the World's Recycling [video]
Recycling of plastics was always broken. Plastic cannot be recycled economically, so it does not happen.

If you think that buying plastics because they can get recycled, you are wrong.

aritmo··on Google outage – resolved
All services are still down, https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status

aritmo··on Red Hat Goes Full IBM and Says Farewell to CentOS
And CloudLinux is doing the same, https://blog.cloudlinux.com/announcing-open-sourced-communit...

edit: RockyLinux and CloudLinux are joining forces, https://www.reddit.com/r/RockyLinux/comments/kanvwb/cloudlin...

aritmo··on Amazon owns more than $2B worth of IPv4 addresses
What are they doing?
aritmo··on CentOS Linux is dead–and Red Hat says Stream is “not a replacement”
Old CentOS has been damaging their bottom line, because it was a valid RHEL replacement.

Is there a desktop RHEL? If there is, then Fedora may be used to test software, therefore the stability will suffer.

aritmo··on U.S. Judge Halts TikTok Ban
TikTok is the most successful China-owned app outside China. Blocking TikTok places a dent to the aspirations of Chinese companies to expand outside China.

Same with WeChat.

aritmo··on U.S. Judge Halts TikTok Ban
The national security concerns are just an excuse to derail the biggest mobile app from China.

TikTok is just short videos. It's not like Facebook or Twitter which are more likely to be used by someone who is an adult.

aritmo··on U.S. Judge Halts TikTok Ban
I kinda feel that we forget the real reason of the whole mess. The Trump administration wants to shake down China, and they find all excuses to do so. The US is in an economic war with China.
aritmo··on He Thought Day Trading Would Be a Thrill. He Ended Up Losing $127,000

aritmo··on My Phone Was Spying on Me, So I Tracked Down the Surveillants
Awesome article about requesting information from data brokers until they reached the spying apps.

I was expecting some app disassembly but still found the article very informing. The article would probably not be possible to write without the power of GDPR.

aritmo··on [dead]
Weird choice for a title in the source article.
aritmo··on Mushrooms Can Eat Plastic, Petroleum and CO2 (2018)
Bad title. It's not mushrooms but "some fungi". They cannot "eat" but can "decompose".

"eat" and "digest" are functions relating to animals.

aritmo··on Apache OpenMeetings – Video chat, messaging, white board, doc editing and more
Software goes to the Apache Foundation to die. Biggest proof is Openoffice.
aritmo··on We're building a new revenue stream for gamers/streamers
How do you compete with Twitch? Any use can clip a moment, and the moment is available for free to watch.
aritmo··on XuanTie C906 based Allwinner RISC-V processor to power $12 Linux SBC's
Quite likely there will be SBCs in a few months with that SoC. Likely in the first quarter of 2021.
aritmo··on XuanTie C906 based Allwinner RISC-V processor to power $12 Linux SBC's
That is more than enough for many applications. How much RAM does your home router have?
