Because it's on the homescreen in the default layout and a large number of people don't change their defaults?

Code as configuration loses one primary benefit which is being able to read the actual config and know exactly what will apply. In the example in the article you would get the same benefit by disallowing users to edit the config directly and instead require the config to be generated via a cmdline app/service that encodes the same policy?

Totally agree, I even grew up in the quake/dn3d era and wasn't familiar with the term either!

What's the theater with sms 2fa? That is more secure than not having it enabled no?

Possibly less secure, considering the existence of sim-cloning crime rings. SMS 2-factor potentially gives a hostile actor a way to 'prove' that they're you.

When I started stardew I didn't know how to play so I would spend days waking up walking around and then go back to sleep repeating until my parsnips grew, but when I introduced my SO to the game, we ended up trying to learn how to actually play and then ended up with spreadsheets to track all the seasons, grow cycles, relationships and whatever else lol

Only in theory right? The moment you use it with a service that requires credentials or an email or a physical address to mail to, it's not, unless you somehow wash it through an anonymous pool somehow

I think he means in Moneyball

Or maybe occam's razor suggests that there's indeed something more concerning about usage of the app that we aren't privy to?

I don't know why you think it's randomly (or recently) decided -- it started in 2020 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictions_on_TikTok_in_the_...), culminating in this act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protecting_Americans_from_Fore...) banning the app, which passed 360-58.

Have you ever gotten 36 people to agree to something, let alone 360? There's obviously more to this that we aren't aware of.

Sure, they don't like the idea of china influencing the youth but more importantly it's making Israel look bad.

This is take is so naive. Tiktok is the equivalent of CBS, NBC, FOX and ABC all being owned by the US's largest threat/enemy's government.

Chinese nationals are banned from even accessing TikTok within China in addition to the Chinese government not allowing America media apps to compete their market.

There isnt an argument in the world that this app isnt bad for US interests and the only reason this is emotional at all for people is that it took too long for the government to act.

So are we at war with china now or what?

Cold-ish war.

To be honest, it's probably not enough to just block these scrapers if they are acting maliciously, people should just start serving generated content back to it and see how long it takes for them to catch on and fix the problem

I was just about to post the same thing -- quite a fascinating test of gpt's capabilities
