throwaway2990··on House passes bill to force TikTok sale from Chinese owner or ban the app
TikTok also claimed the data couldn’t be viewed in China and then it got exposed that the data was being viewed in China by bytedance.

Sooooooo no it doesn’t follow the same laws an its singaporean ceos claim of no links to China are his word only.

throwaway2990··on Children to no longer be prescribed puberty blockers, NHS England confirms
This is good news. Pretty much all studies don’t do long term use and suggest further studies are required for the effects of long term use past the age of puberty. Experimenting on kids and lying to the public is not cool.
throwaway2990··on Ask HN: Consequences if the US bans TikTok
There’s no consequences. It’s only positives.
throwaway2990··on Apple's hysterics over new EU antitrust law have led to two climbdowns already
> Customers don't care who has a better CPU or GPU. They care that the phone does what they want and gives them a good experience.

So they don’t pick apple because it has a better CPU or GPU. They pick it because it gives them a superior experience and does what they want.

throwaway2990··on Apple's hysterics over new EU antitrust law have led to two climbdowns already
You’re being downvoted because no one has a valid answer other than their opinion. Manufactures have spent years trying to copy Apple enough to build a better laptop and so far have failed.
throwaway2990··on Apple terminates Epic Games developer account, calling it a 'threat' to iOS
Misinformed you are.

MS created a YouTube app. Google got upset cos it wasn’t compliant. MS removed the app temporarily and re-released it in the months later when it was compliant with Google, including new features that lacked in the older version.

The app existed for most of windows phone life. It didn’t get cut off. It was removed from the store for several months while MS fixed it. Anyone who had the app still had it.

throwaway2990··on Apple terminates Epic Games developer account, calling it a 'threat' to iOS
It had what’s app and YouTube. YouTube wasn’t an official app though it was created by MS using the same apis from Google.
throwaway2990··on Apple terminates Epic Games developer account, calling it a 'threat' to iOS
The UX was superior to Android and iOS. All the main apps were available. But people couldn’t live without their fart apps and all the junk in Android store.

Main issue was MS couldn’t release flagship phones world wide. Their flagship phone showed up in Asia 13 months after release. No one is going to wait year to get a flagship outdated phone.

throwaway2990··on Apple terminates Epic Games developer account, calling it a 'threat' to iOS
Na. Not a good take. Apple already said the reason was because they had revoked epics account for breaking rules and did so after being made aware of the account from Timmy boys tweets.

Anything else is just Timmy adding fuel to the fire which reinforces apples decision to not allow epic to have an account.

Timmy is desperately trying to become steam.

throwaway2990··on Apple terminates Epic Games developer account, calling it a 'threat' to iOS
MS threw in the towel unfortunately. Now we are stuck with Apple and trash. People desperately cling onto this false ideology that Android is good and Apple is bad when they are at fault for ignoring Windows Phone which was better with their excuses that “I need thousands is fart apps or I can’t use windows phone”
throwaway2990··on EU Probes Apple's Decision to Shut Down Epic's Developer Account
> And on the next line, "Assembled in China".

My iPhone says assembled in India.

Regardless. The EU cannot design a smartphone let alone get it built/assembled in Asia and become a fraction of what apples smartphone business is.

This was a silly comment…
throwaway2990··on Journalist casualties in the Israel-Gaza war
lol no proof cos Hamas said it wasn’t so right.

Like when they said there’s no tunnels. Then tunnels were found. So everyone’s like no it’s an elevator. Turns out it’s not an elevator. But it wasn’t used. Full of chairs and bed. But there’s no guns. Tunnels are blocked. But they aren’t in use…

Or when they said Israel bombed a hospital and 500 were dead. Then the photos and videos came out and it was Hamas missile and it was in the parking lot with a tiny crater.

Or when they said Israel bombed the Egypt trucks bringing supplies to civilians. Then the videos and photos came out and it was the civilians intercepting the trucks for food because Hamas steals it all.

Yeah let’s believe everything Hamas tells us haha. Brainwashed by the media to believe conspiracy theories. You probably support Russia too.

throwaway2990··on Journalist casualties in the Israel-Gaza war
Wow clutching hard at straws to justify hamas and deny their usage of hospitals as military bases.
throwaway2990··on Journalist casualties in the Israel-Gaza war
Why did they take hostages to begin with. And why did they take them past perfectly fine hospitals? There was no risk.
throwaway2990··on Apple terminates Epic Games developer account, calling it a 'threat' to iOS
It would be trash like their EGS. No one would use it.
throwaway2990··on Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)
WSL is used heavily inside MS. It’s not going anywhere.
throwaway2990··on AWS acquires Talen's 960MW nuclear data center campus in Pennsylvania
They didn’t say they bought a power plant. They bought a campus next to the power plant. That implies that it’s not generating power. How you could be confused I don’t understand. I get that headlines are often misleading or sensationalised. But this one isn’t.
throwaway2990··on AWS acquires Talen's 960MW nuclear data center campus in Pennsylvania
No? It specified campus…
throwaway2990··on AWS acquires Talen's 960MW nuclear data center campus in Pennsylvania
Was the headline in HM changed cos it says campus so it didn’t sound like they got a power plant…
throwaway2990··on US permanently deploys training mission in Taiwan
Some decades ago China wasn’t throwing a hissy fit any time someone said “Taiwan”. All of todays issues with Taiwan stem from Xi Pooh.
throwaway2990··on US permanently deploys training mission in Taiwan
Which is why they voted for the party that doesn’t want to merge with China. They saw what happened with Hong Kong. They don’t want that to happen to them.
throwaway2990··on US permanently deploys training mission in Taiwan
> a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations

Based on the definition of war. China has engaged in war multiple times. And is actively in no less than 18 border disputes with conflicts with Philippines and India.

Take your CPC boot licking elsewhere.

throwaway2990··on US permanently deploys training mission in Taiwan
China has 18 border disputes and has been encroaching on India. Don’t try make the claim it hasn’t waged war when it is.

It also enslaves an entire ethnic group. Highest executions. Almost 100% conviction rate. Has undercover police operations all around the world pretending to be Chinese cultural or help centers for Chinese people.

throwaway2990··on US permanently deploys training mission in Taiwan
It’s written into their Constitution. Taiwan doesn’t care for China at all. Just wants to be left alone to live and continue to prosper.
throwaway2990··on US permanently deploys training mission in Taiwan
Taiwan is a country regardless of UN status or opinion.

China just uses its weight to bully countries into submission on declaring their view on Taiwan.

throwaway2990··on What we learned in 6 months of working on an AI Developer
The export controls simply don’t work. Those chips still make their way into China. All those export controls do is slow it down a bit.

But China can outfit itself with more hardware even if it’s not as fast as the latest iteration and still speed past the U.S. while the U.S. and the EU argue about AI being racist or not.

throwaway2990··on React Labs: What We've Been Working On – February 2024
At this point people should already be looking to move away from react to something better like svelte, Vue, htmx.

Why anyone would start a project with react in 2024 be beyond me.

throwaway2990··on Earth just experienced its hottest 12 months in recorded history
Literally every study. They will remove a particular earth moment because “it’s not relevant” but adding it in makes their data look like global warming isn’t happening. Or they exclude periods claiming that the data from that period is not good when it goes against their claims.
throwaway2990··on Ubisoft Employees In France have gone on a Strike
Sweden has such high taxes that Spotify pays like double the average salary to hire foreign talent so they don’t feel the loss of income from being taxed though the butt.
