TikTok comes with a massive apparatus for creating videos.

I don't know what you are seeing - TikTok gives you localised contents straight away even when browsing their website. If you play around with it for a bit, the algorithm will adapt to your taste.

As an European I am happy that someone is finally breaking the American monopoly on social media. It just feels wrong only being surveilled by the NSA.

I am also deeply fascinated by TikTok. It is really next generation social media. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Hacker News all look seriously dated in comparison.

That would be impressive however it is probably not correct. Here is state-sponsored Xinhua's coverage of the same story: http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-07/14/c_139209909.htm China battles unprece

IMO Mac OS X should come with its own integrated package manager and corresponding central repository for distribution of various open source software packages. A package manager that worked well with the App Store and Xcode.

To honest. The point of this article is unclear to me. It says: "American Colleges are Good, They Said" "You’ll Be Respected, They Said" "Life is Good, They Said" And then he spends time explaining why none of

Seems to me that the international student business is about selling a path to American citizenship. How expensive can it get before the millions of students stop coming? How bad can the education be? How bad can the politics be? I think th

The ban of Facebook in 2009 was clearly a result of the Chinese authorities not being able to stop the spread of "misinformation" which they saw as a major factor in the Xinjiang riots of that year.

The great firewall of China came because China wanted to police US social media operating in China but weren't able to. That it acted as a major enabler for China's own social media boom is (at least initially) an unintended side-

More broadly maybe one should think of the China model as state-led capitalism and note that it did not origin in China but in Japan and succesfully carried countries such as Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore out of their development country s

From the article: "Relational databases: a software engineering fail ... That you were taught relational databases at all is an accident. It's simply that they are an early tech that became widely used, so your teacher knows about

Who is the delivery worker? Is it the guy on the scooter? The app developer in the office? The marketing guy brought your attention to the take-away place and caused you to make the order? Since all these services are operating at the loss,

Given that the sanctions also blocked Huawei's license of the ARM design. I think the Chinese will create their own processor family.

Are we anywhere near seeing Microsoft Windows running on ARM? Seems to me that Microsoft doesn't have the same strong incentive to shift away from x86 as Apple has.

by chvid 6y ago
The servers will flip once ARM gets cheap enough to x86. If I have a database and some Java or Ruby running on some Linux then why would I care whether it is on x86 or anything else? However are those ARM CPUs going to be made by NVIDIA? It

I think it is very cool. Trying to think of some applications for this. For example one could create a mechanism that watched people entering and exiting a shop providing the shop owner more quantitative data that he could use to optimize h
