The difference is that they can't legally collect data _on americans_, so they need to outsource it to private companies. Non americans have no rights so they can just spy on them (through the cloud act for example).

I'm surprised replit is not helping out financially considering they now use nix to power their repls.

Sometimes I wish GDPR included a clause stating that presence of the Do-Not-Track header equals to the user not giving consent.

Yes, that's why any serious effort in producing software compatible with GPL-ed software requires the team writing code not to look at the original code at all. Usually a person (or small team) reads the original software and produces

You're thinking short term. If the US bans tiktok, more countries will follow and american tech companies will have a hard time competing there. On these grounds chinese companies will be able to compete better because they're alr

Why would they when it validates their internet strategy? It just shows the CCP was 10 years ahead of the US when it comes to restricting what apps citizens can use (to "protect" them ofcourse).

Are you saying Joseph Cox from Vice has been paid to be critical of the act? EFF and ACLU also came out against this, have they been paid too?

If the retailer keeps a record of the receipts, the government can ask for them since they have the payment reference from the credit card company.

In that case they would be banned under the new law, the same way any other company would.

Would it be possible to build something on top of DHT+Torrent? Main issue seems around image discovery.

I noticed proposals use google/bing search results (in english) to show support for an emoji. If they used multiple languages to show popularity (at least english, spanish, french, and mandarin) it would look different. In general emoj

They use a blockchain to transact in USDC because it's more convenient that posting cash across borders. Freelancers usually don't have the financial means to open offshore companies.

They use it for USDC, which is much better than buying dollars on the black market.

Compare how many teams in crypto come from argentina (and latam in general) and south east asia compared to e.g. fintech or ai. In my experience many started by accepting remote jobs paid in crypto and then later working full time in the fi

You can do the same with cash, why not extend that to digital money? After receiving a cyrpto paying you can declare it to the goverment if it goes above the minimum required by law (exactly as with cash). It would be ridiculous if you had

Just out of curiosity, which country are you based in? Because for people based in countries with high inflation, crypto is a great tool to get paid in usd and reinvest it without being forced by their governement to convert it into their c

You can short on ethereum (with a payout in usdc) and you will be 100% paid out.

You have to account that not everyone is working in the US. For someone earning 15k$ per year, 600$ is not little money.

Are these two companies based in two different jurisdictions? In other words, is the non-apple company US-based or not?

You're supposed to use it as a repl, so you start with a test for `fib(1) = 1`, then `fib(2)` and so on. Once you're confident of your implementation, you use quickcheck to test general properties of the system. Similarly if you f

It's a repl, so you build the final output incrementally. Testing becomes part of the development workflow like you would do in languages that rely on the repl like lisps. For example, you start with the inputs and you apply the first

The title mentions writing tests as if they are repl sessions because you're supposed to iterate until you have the correct result.

I believe the way to test it is to have a property like `n in integer | fib(n+2) == fib(n+1) + fib(n)`. This is close to the naive (but obviously correct?) implementation of fib and can be used to test the optimized version of the function.

On the other hand programming also involves writing a lot of prose: documentation, comments, github issues, slack etc.
