I can't imagine that bodes well for Tik Tok in terms of long term consequences. Perhaps Tik Tok has been shown that this issue is out of its control - either by the CCP or US actions. At any rate, I think congress will take action agai

That's a good point, I've always seen Uighur but who knows. The Chinese story has not gained a network effect yet, not enough people know about it to make it a profitable target for media companies. Occasionally you'll see a

Yeah so my point had nothing to do with the value of the cargo and everything to do with the utility of the pilot. He serves other roles like checking system functionality, managing autonomous capabilities, taking control of the flight, com

Thats a good point, you're right Google does have at least some version of autonomous

In 2013 Google said it would have autonomous cars by 2018 In 2017 Google said the cars would be available in months according to the article. Last year Elon Musk said there would be 1mm robo taxis by the end of 2020. These corporations leve

I think the most interesting event during all of the Hong Kong conflict was actually when the US congress first announced this bill. Within a day China responded with one of its casual opaque threats along the lines of "if congress pas

Seems no one has mentioned it, but I wonder how easy it would be to prescribe this as a solution to those with mental illness. For example, when I smoked weed for the first and only time I had the worst panic attack of my life that made it

Seems all is going to plan for Beijing, slowly encroaching on more human rights of the people of Hong Kong. I read an ominous quote from Global Times that said, when talking about the US Hong Kong bill: "If we take this US bill serious

1) In supply limited markets like housing, especially low income housing, there's definitely competition for that limited supply. Then there is inflation in general, which will become a factor to some extent. Bertrand's trap comes

I feel like there are so many holes in the UBI that Yang has offered, some extremely obvious. Reminds me of Josepf Goerbells "Big Lie," which could be summed up as simplicity x scale of a lie == popularity + efficacy. I do not bel

I think part of this is linked to not being at market equilibrium in low skill jobs. For example there are over 6 million jobs not filled in America most of which are low skill, some of which are due to structural unemployment like server s

I think you could consider WeWork worse than Thernanos in many ways. Far more people understood what was going on at the highest level, and when all was said and done Elizabeth Holmes walked away with nothing but criminal prosecution. Both

I have two main questions about Tik Tok that I figure the Hacker news audience will have insight on. How is Tik Tok comparable financially to Facebook Instagram Snapchat or Youtube when "29% of monthly users open TikTok every day.&quot

I think it is not about not trading persay - it's about not supporting a totalitarian mercantilist. While we both benefit on paper, the fact that so much of this wealth is concentrated at the top in America slows the velocity of money,

I heard the economic side of the argument before; I do not believe it entitles China to break the deal it made - the date set was 2047 not 2019

Sorry you are right, I refer to the 50 cent army as Chinese nationalists in general. Given that there is no way to literally verify, to me it’s all the same. My definition would be closer to “those who go out of the way to champion the ccp

The favoured retort of the pro CCP group is American imperialism. No doubt, I agree it is no longer in America's best interest to defend foreign nations and to meddle internationally. However, that does not excuse your ignorance. A tot

This is not an obvious example of 50 cent army; in fact you're unlikely to find anything that you can incontrovertibly call the CCP. This was an example of Chinese nationalism in general. I watch a ton of US China trade war stuff, the

You are wrong: I am familiar with the CS Lewis quote 1) In this case the nation working behind the scenes is China. American imperialism I concede is bad. However, the Chinese have quietly been breaking over 50 international regulations and
