Because the US was clearly coercing them to divest it or else be banned (in the Anglosphere). Many US social media sites are banned in China and Russia.

Why did Oracle not acquire TikTok (US)? It seemed like a good move for them.

I didn't say "GDPR rules", more like a business decision about how many free articles to allow non-subscribers to view in GDPR vs non-GDPR region.

The point was clearly that the site seemed to have different (monthly) free limits for EU/US, and that anonzzzies was served a different page to me. No need to be rude.

Must be due to the GDPR then.

Interesting; I'm in the US; where are you? Also, mobile/desktop? (It literally doesn't say it on the webpage served to me; don't assume the same version is served to all countries)

Nobody here has made a case for Lua in Excel. I wrote "Python vs Lua" is not even on the radar of most Excel users, not even the subset that are programmers. (Why are people here aggressively misreading everything I type, today?)

Anecdotally, do you find it tends to be true?

Interesting comment, is there any quantitative study or data corroborating regional attitudes in the US?

Most Excel users (not the power users, just the 1.1 billion everyday ones, including many of the enterprise ones) don't know how to program in any language. You're coming at this with a HN mindset. "Python vs Lua" is not

That's exactly what I said above: most Excel users are non-programmers. Hence Python in Excel would only be used by a subset of Excel power users. Moreover, having to pay $$ recurring subscriptions for that stack to run open-source sof

Your personal use-case might prefer Lua or Scheme, but most casual Excel (or SQL) users are non-programmers so they won't. They'll want the equivalent of decently-documented macros or boilerplate they can easily and quickly use wi

Allies, not friends. In that sort of environment, what sort of things get you allies? other than what you mentioned. For example when you say gaming the process, how to approach reviews?

Why shouldn't it (be treated the same as broadcasting)? Streaming is eating broadcasting alive. Streaming surpassed cable TV for the first time in July 2022 (in the US). (As to Canada levying a charge on them to fund local news, that&#

The UK national election will be July 4 2024 and the French two-round snap national election will be June 30 (first round) and July 7 (run-off). And the Trump sentencing is July 11. Expect a ton more of this garbage, some with image/me

That's not the point, though. This is a serious cautionary tale about how factual journalism gets transformed into clickbait slop by third-party sites, at industrial scale; consider this a dress rehearsal for the 11/2024 US electi

Parent is right though: AI slop in an article is to maximize SEO. AI slop in a comment is a weird jumble of implausible claims to maximize engagement. I see both on a daily basis now.
