> What is meant by "robotically beating at 123.45 bpm"? Any fixed tempo beats robotically.

While a robot can keep beat at 123, most humans can’t keep 123.45. Art doesn’t have to make logical sense.

Which would still be natural selection though.

Maltron is OG in the ergo keyboard space as well. Believe they inspired Kinesis, as I think Maltron may have been the first to use the well design.

Satire. He rarely criticizes apple directly, but I think he’s mindful that it’s required for Apple in the current politics to not become a target.

No US company got TikTok’d, and China doesn’t even allow US social media companies in its country.

China is notoriously middle management heavy, by definition that’s what communism is.

You can’t really say it does or doesn’t. Research shows stress can be a contributor though.

Let’s flip it, explain why US social media is not a national security threat to China.

From facebooks perspective it’s always been official

Believe Facebook was banned for a specific national reason in 2009. Hard to do business with a country that doesn’t have something similar to the bill of rights. All Chinese companies are the same as government, meaning their companies don’t have to respect human rights either.

I’m married to an ethnic Chinese, I was referring to the CCP, which most people colloquially call “Chinese”. But agree that people will confuse this colloquial term for the Chinese government the CCP for the ethnicity. Most Chinese people outside of china despise the CCP.

Can’t reply to your other comment, too nested.

> There is no constitutionally protected right for American citizens to not be subjected to propaganda. In fact, it's quite the opposite, since propaganda has been specifically identified as a form of speech protected by the first amendment.

I would say almost anything can be classified as a national threat, and to consider an algorithms or technology that are limiting free speech or us liberties as propaganda would be a gross misclassification. The cia most likely killed a president under the name of national security, I don’t think a Chinese company has more rights than a us president.

Huawei is an example. Foreign companies don’t have the same rights, in large part because of national security concerns. For example is the concern is that a China is trying to infringe on American rights, such as using algorithms, then it’s a moot argument to say TikTok is protected by us law.

A Chinese company, you just found one.

As long as US social media is banned in China, they don’t have much legal ground, as it can be seen as a tit for tat trade embargo / national security

I’m surprised I don’t hear many speak on the trade embargo aspects of something like TikTok. US social media is blocked from China, so from an economic policy perspective why wouldn’t the trade embargo me mutual, Tit4Tat.

Tinnitus and partial hearing loss is the largest personal pain in my life. Ruins my ability to listen to music for pleasure, hinders my focus, and overall disheartening. Hoping there is a cure in my lifetime, both for hearing loss and tinnitus.

Most of us write crud apps and aren’t hackers, we just used to be.

>Aren't those like $500 a pop? Handing out that kind of dough for a keyboard sounds like the opposite of stopping being much into keyboards.

A keyboard can last 20+ years, while a computer around 5 years before it becomes obsolete, more or less. People buy other keyboards because it’s missing something. The kinesis while not perfect is the best keyboard you can buy without building your own from scratch. Nothing comes close, except datahand, but they don’t make those anymore. I stopped buying keyboards after the kinesis.

>”There is nothing original left to say about any of these topics. If you aren't contributing to actual progress in the area then it's best to not shove yourself into the conversation at all.”

This is one of the more hypocritical statements I’ve read recently. If you study the history of science, it evolved from thought experiments.

Garmin instinct 2 is smaller and similar price, and battery lasts about a month

Should this story have a disclaimer that the paper is owned by the founder of Amazon, who is a competitor?

Css-in-js helps minimize context switching for logic related styling, believe this is one of the main advantages from a developers perspective. It also allows javascript developers to colocate their CSS where they want, separate file, inline, same file, etc. This is more flexible than a .vue file in that sense.
