At the cost of China controlling the recommendation system that decides what content US people consume?

I had a CS grad student very confidently tell me that TikTok was not owned by a Chinese company.

I disagree - what Trump has done is unprecedented.

Unilateral political maneuvering is not a thing.

So many people think the freedom of speech means a right to your speech being amplified.

It does not.

Nothing in your comment changes this:

"If China controls the recommendation system that decides what content people consume that, then they can influence the narrative of the country."

Absolutely. Zuck is destroying 4000 careers.

I don't think Trump is staying within the rules of the game here. Launching a new business days before assuming the presidency is not appropriate.

It is a con designed to fleece his follows.

If this sounds familiar, Don Jr launched $DTJR in July 2024.

This is about generic drugs.

"The FTC also said these so-called Big Three health care companies — which it estimates administer 80% of all prescriptions in the U.S. — are inflating drug prices “at an alarming rate, which means there is an urgent need for policymakers to address it.”"

These companies have agency and are choosing to act this way.

This beaks the human contract.

"The law allows the president to grant a 90-day extension of the ban deadline if there is “evidence of significant progress” toward a sale and “binding legal agreements.” ByteDance has resisted selling, and the Chinese government has said it opposes such a move."

Thiel and Vance think he is a genius.

People listening to the media are so confused.

What you are missing is that the homes themselves provided the fuel. It had nothing to do with underbrush or forest management.

This is an incredibly simplistic take.

Prop 13 applies to commercial real estate as well as residential.

The commercial part should be removed to increase tax income.

But those celebrities and other well-off industry personnel are now burned out.

The city could issue no permits to rebuild SFH on that land and then buy it for 15-minute walkable development.

I think this is optimistic.

We should build glass and steel high density apartment buildings with no parking.

Data has been released since this was published:

"Congestion pricing 1st-week data shows 7.5% fewer vehicles in zone and faster travel, MTA says"

So the ChatGPT crawler amplifies a DDOS attack against a third-party site by how much? Is there a limit?

That is a negative externality - something OpenAI has proven it does not care about.

"The order will task agencies with using stronger encryption to protect federal employees’ calls and text from interception"

Nice to see that the US gov't is endorsing encryption instead of fighting it.

Even worse is making an original post starting with 'I asked ChatGPT and it said...'

I have been waiting for this since the late 1930's.

It is sad to see so many influenced by grifters.

This will freak out the majority of people approached.

Yes and it increases XSS (cross site scripting) risk.

I struggle with the same thing but have concluded its best not to bring up security concerns unless life is at risk.
