This is the real reason behind the FUD in my opinion. Despite all these articles presenting TikTok content as vapid and mindless time wasting, in my experience it's been the opposite. TikTok is full of authentic policial commentary, an

Many recent boycotts and other activist causes have achieved critical mass through organizing on TikTok. A ton of content there is historical and educational. People misunderstand short-form as shallow and that has never sit right with me.

"Adversary" is such a scare word here. Did Facebook's boosting of alt-right content not adversely affect American culture? Why are American companies trusted to do the right thing but foreign companies not? Why should the gov

I know, but that limitation should have sunk the whole idea instead of them relying on iframes. They could make a popup like PayPal (doesn't solve the picture-in-picture attack you linked to, but still better than iframe). The best way

It is unforgivable that they implemented it as an iframe. Who needs EV SSL verification? never heard of it. You can't even see if there's an HTTPS lock indicator! It was bad enough that it asks for bank login credentials, but doin

I think there's a little too much focus on the algorithm in these comments, and not enough focus on the content itself. The quality of content on Tiktok is just worlds better than anything on Reels. Reels is full of visually interestin

That makes a lot of sense. The other thing I felt as a viewer was that any time a good show managed to get made, it would get canceled after two seasons at most. It became so commonplace that I've seen memes about it. If you're go

The fact that Plaid works within a modal iframe with no clear domain verification, bypassing the browser's HTTPS lock icon, and then *asks for your banking login*, is irresponsible and inexcusable for a financial company. That kind of

I disagree on the rarity piece, I think it will be more frustrating if you can't predict how to improve your score. Length is straightforward because you know your strategy should always be to make the fewest longest words.

There are currently no mainstream keyboard apps on iOS that have a dedicated comma key, as far as I know. SwiftKey on iOS lacks substantial features, including this very basic one. Coupled with the hobbled notification system and the incons

This is absolutely it. Since the managers are measured based on the productivity of their team, rather than the quality of their management, businesses have no mechanisms to identify whether managers are accelerating their developers or hol

The Sanders campaign told the DNC months ago that they were noticing data they shouldn't have access to. What a ridiculous farce of news coverage to frame this as an intentional invasion by the Sanders campaign, warranting discipline.

By owning and using broadcast spectrum, these content providers are in a unique position in the market. By broadcasting for free over the air, they have the privilege of reaching huge audiences easily. The fact that nowadays most people don

The content companies would put Aereo out of business real quick by offering a free, constant, live stream on their websites with local ads and programming based on the location of the viewer. Owning OTA spectrum comes with a responsibility

I haven't had the same experience as jaredmcateer. I often find myself more focused when I'm high - it's easier to achieve that flow state and to think creatively. Cannabis can be very helpful for seeing big ideas and thinkin

I think the difference is that is being marketed as a longer term generic food replacement, not just an occasional meal replacement.

The main purpose of representatives is that we trust them, the person, to have the character and sense to create and support good policy. It's reasonable for the government to have secrets, but if the people running it aren't virt

The upside to this is that, by choosing to only support corporations that share one's values, you can still have a positive effect. Voting with your dollar has long been known to be more effective than voting with your ballot.
