I was in the Army for 7 years and deployed 3 times. What does "actual warfare" look like? If what I experienced wasn't war, what is? You are minimizing the sacrifices that we and our combatants have made which is, quite frankly, disgusting.

The risks related to traditional warfare are incredibly high, not low, and risk will continue to grow as technology becomes the strongest variable in military dominance and success. Simply put, from now and well into the future, lethality will become greater. We can kill faster and with greater accuracy than we ever could in the past. Our capacity to kill is there -- just restrained.

The situation in Mexico [and further south for that matter] is dire and probably incredibly similar to that of Afghanistan after the Russians left. The cartels are the law. There is no effective form of government in Mexico.

Isn’t this a knockoff of something posted earlier this year?

This is the type of advice we should see more here on HN.

Ah ok -- thanks for the clarification regarding the memory usage!

$0.12/month seems expensive for such a low requirement? Is it because of the size of the function? Does GCP lack a free tier that would otherwise be free on a different platform? Not knocking your decisions. I just legitimately want to know where the cost comes from.

I got a 98%

Congrats!

What does a war zone look like exactly?

I’m not wrong you should really check out Baltimore.

I agree with you but there are a lot of technologically naive people out there.

You should check out Baltimore

Was any research done on which police departments receive this gear and the rate of crime in their AoR?

I don’t even know if I’m allowed to disclose it. My bounty is closed but I am not sure if they fixed it.

Not surprised. I submitted a report and POC of an oauth2 vulnerability that they deemed as a low priority. Robinhood users are highly susceptible to phishing attacks. Even 2FA is vulnerable if the attacker is fast enough.

I am proud to admit I am the type of guy that will do simple PRs to fix documentation.

Am I the only one who hates the whole concept of a CMS? I much prefer just working HTML changes into a dev cycle. CMS encourages marketing and sales people to wreak havoc on your web experience. Working in HTML changes into the dev process also helps keep the engineering team aligned with the business/marketing strategy. I use Middleman for generating static html websites and it works great. I would love to see the concept of a webmaster come back.

A lot of bologna in this thread. Time boxing works, full stop.

Thank you! I have been complaining about this forever. 99% of software I write is closed source! It seems like we get punished for this when in reality it’s the company’s policy not to publicly expose proprietary information.

I have been rallying around this for a long time. I think we should eliminate time zones while we are at it.

I use a similar behavior with the plus symbol to identify who leaks me email address.

.docx is just an archive format. If I remember correctly the contents inside the .docx archive are plain text. Can’t we just use version control inside of there? We would have to of course figure out a way to have git unpack and pack the archive each time.

Absolutely, but you of all people FooBarWidget should know that application security and privacy is a layered approach. This isn't our first run in with each other but I don't expect you to remember me but I will always remember the pseudonym used by the creator of Passenger. However we can find common ground because I believe at the root of all this we both believe in two things 1) the fair and equal treatment of others and 2) our inalienable right to privacy.

Perhaps I should have been more explicit in saying that the Chinese government is of concern, not necessarily the employees or owners of TikTok. But in all fairness, the Chinese government has a stronger ability to enforce their will on private business than seen in other places.

Addressing issues with Google and Apple is a tangential argument that is related but not entirely relevant to the conversation at hand. Why would I think TikTok is the only and last threat that will ever exist? I know that was a rhetorical question but a quite unnecessary one. To be fair, you don't know who I am so you can't make any assumptions of my intelligence or character outside of my comment history here on HN.

This is really an unprecedented situation so I believe it is fair to be somewhat cautious of further committing Chinese grown software into the pockets of tens of millions of US citizens. We are talking about mainland China here, not HK. If this company is so innocent then why did they pull out of HK? The acquisition of TikTok by Microsoft is interesting but why Microsoft? I don't believe Microsoft is doing it out of a sense of patriotism -- they want our data too. It isn't so much a witch hunt but we did get front row tickets to the bidding war on the commoditization of our personal data.

Is the Chinese cyber threat not real? The United States, Russia and China are the largest producers of state sanctioned attacks by a significant margin. You are painting me as some sort of bigot when in reality I have a perfectly legitimate reason to be concerned. I have every right and reason to feel the way I do. I would support similar sentiment of any Chinese or Russian citizen who uses an American product. They can be cautious too, it won't hurt my feelings. We all make the best decision we can with the information we currently have.

Moreover, my TikTok information has already been compromised which pairs nicely with my SF-86 data that was also compromised with the OPM attacks. Why did I decide to even use the application to begin with you might ask? I chose to because I didn't want to rule out what is otherwise one of the most popular social media platforms in the country because of my own bias. TikTok is by far my favorite social media application I just no longer choose to use it. I will watch the TikTok content that trickles down into YouTube for the time being. I have no means to verify authenticity of your statement that the owner of TikTok is some sort of 'outspoken globalist' who condemns the Chinese government. All the while operating one of the largest growing social media companies based out of a communist country. If the US data is segregated from the Chinese based data centers then why did I start receiving text messages with Chinese characters in it within several days of downloading the application and creating an account? Was it all a coincidence? I would be naive to not believe that it was simply coincidental however it is damning.

Let me make my next point abundantly clear since you made some significant assumptions about my character. My concerns are rooted in a lack of trust with the Chinese government to keep my best interests in mind as a citizen of the United States.

I love Rails and it has done a lot for my career. However, after 6 years of Rails development I find myself far more likely to be reaching for ‘dotnet new’ rather than ‘rails new’.

I bought a 27” 5k iMac a few years ago and it just made me hate Apple more. I am irritated that they have a monopoly on iOS development.

Because the Chinese cyber threat is incredibly real. The United States should be playing hard ball. The US TikTok systems are compromised by Chinese spammers already.

This article speaks to the deepest parts of my soul.

TikTok is horrible. Less then a day after signing up I was getting spam text messages with Chinese writing.

You are assuming people actually make money on rental properties. I have had 3 rental properties and you don’t make a profit until the mortgage is paid off which is practically never. What you propose would hurt more people than it helps.

Are the STEM fields the only ones with asinine interview processes?

What does an interview as an accountant, sales or manager look like?
