Precisely Talking about perf without understanding the problem domain is a common mistake Rust folks tend to make. I don't think there is enough push for people to switch to a new language just for performance sake in front-end land. J

I don't find this that surprising as well. Good intentions or ethicality aside, I don't find Firefox as a browser convincing. It is just not as good as Chrome in handling navigating web pages. I'd say focus on making Firefox

Trump had already maximized the sanctions by imposing tariffs (25% on all Chinese goods). Going further with sanctions only make sure sanctions will no longer work, for there is nothing valuable to sanction with.

I am not think about China. Think of Europe. The EU has just realized that by letting US runs internet for itself is costing it money and its technological future. As what the current administration is doing, the tie is getting weakened and

Both have nuclear weapons. If the war is going to happen it will happen somewhere close to China, because the reverse isn't possible. But if you are talking about winning a war that is close to China, against China, you are not in the

And what does Apple get in return? Some lip service praise from media? Would US government compensate Apple with tax break? What about the jobs that might be lost? Think of Google then. Google's exit from China achieves one thing, that

And US tech companies will be the big loser, if the other countries are going to apply the same national security argument to themselves. Who would they sacrifice then? Obviously, it will be the Big Techs.

Google is a mess, period It is both painful and hilarious to see how lack of long term vision for this supposedly industry leader. Google is losing and probably already lost

It is not part of the core UX. TikTok or Doubin, just swipe up/down would be enough for 90% of your input

TikTok however is the opposite of WeChat where the interface is dead simple and intuitive. What is Reels immitating here?

This has some truth to it. And I don't think people should take it like it is a bad thing. Not every country on the planet is so egoistic like Americans, where self discipline for greater good means communism /s

If it affects EU users then they have the right to not allow such merger to happen in the first place

I don't think it will be effective to do this secondary sanctions. If Chinese company want to sell aboard then Facebook isn't something easy to circumvent. And they can always go to Singapore to do business with it, or find agency

With new direction of research, like pre-taining and subword vocab, the models now are mostly language agnostic. English or not, it is just sequence of tokens. Difference mainly lies in data abundance, where the distribution is severly skew

Without US creators TikTok will be lifeless for US market. The creators will leave nevertheless if majority of the audience can't be reached So no. VPN won't work

No Westerners actually use Wechat. TikTok is getting mainstream in US. That is the difference

That is actually fair enough. The Chinese internet censorship isn't only censorship, it is also protectionism under disguise. There is no reason to offer market access to the Chinese companies when China refuses to reciprocitate

In the same way you can just put your music on YouTube if want to 'release' it. You can ofc release apps, that doesn't mean people will ever use it. The cost to acquire a user isn't anywhere cheaper than a finding an lis

I don't think this is disrespectful to musicians. The way people consume music has changed and for the right reason. Music now is a commodity that can be obtained in secs. This is totally different the old days when people buy tapes an

It is not IMO. Web developer in US can work freely in HoL area if they want to relocate.

Might be controversial to say, but why manufacturing cost is so high in US they making outsourcing so profitable? A Taiwanese silicon engineer salary, even the top band is probably only higher than the entry level of a web developer in SF.

Can someone educate me what exactly is the difference between furlough and layoff?

I mean this also depends on pricing. If they are cheap, then there is a place for them to exist. But I agree, too much stuff under the AWS umbrella, and trivial ones like this, will impact the brand image.

Why are you getting downvoted? Confidence is definitely a thing. Most of the students probably don't appreciate this self-inflicted drama in the first place. No one really wins here.
