Asking the person you’re debating to look up your own citations is certainly one way to converse. But ok, let’s go for it.
In Aug 2023, Forbes published an article describing the proposal of “unfettered access” you referred to:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilybaker-white/2023/08/21/draft-tiktok-cfius-agreement/
In June 2024, the Washington Post reported that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) turned down the proposal and includes some broad reporting as to why:
The article isn’t very technical, but it mentions some interesting responsibility angles that the US wouldn’t want to back themselves into:
The second article explains this somewhat, but I’m admittedly painting some conjecture on top regarding how a malicious actor could behave. I’ve got no evidence that Byte Dance is actually doing any of that.
But going back to the “influence the public” angle, I’m struggling to see how different TikTok is versus NHK America (Japan’s American broadcasts) or RT (American media from the Russian standpoint) aside from being wildly more successful and popular. But I guess that’s all there is to it.
I’d prefer our leaders also be transparent with us regarding their concerns about TikTok. The reductive “because China!!1!” argument is not compelling on its own.
Do you have any citation for that?
Does ByteDance publish TikTok’s transmission protocol to demonstrate transparency?

Do you have any additional info on this Hetzner problem/fix, or perhaps a link to the admin community or discussion thread where they were discussing it?
I’d like to be able to point my instance’s admin there (as we’re seeing the same problem on both lemmy.blahaj.org and beehaw.org).
Thanks!

For your hypothetical scenario to make more sense, the US would have had to annex Baja California just a decade prior, then straight up have gone to forward invasion war with Mexico to annex more, bombing the shit out of the country including children’s hospitals.
In that scenario, fuck yes Mexico would be justified in finding allies to help them maintain sovereignty and protect themselves.
That’s what happens when nations invade one another.
Alternate title: MA B2W GM 86’d by Cl2, not OK.
12 year SDE + 12 year TPM vet here.
Do everything you can to help your software engineers (or whoever is doing the work) have as much focus time as they need. Buffer your meetings and questions to one chunk of time per day. Encourage them to block-out and protect their focus time. And encourage the team to keep office hours so they can still make themselves available to others, but in a controlled way.
Be transparent with the business’s goals and frustrations you are facing. There’s an attitude (often among inexperienced devs) that PMs are good for nothing; just an interface to the rest of the business, and a source of where tasks come from. And some certainly are that, but a good PM is worth their weight in gold.
Find a good mentor, and start thinking about your next career step now.
I’m genuinely disappointed that Asbestos Cafe is basically forbidden now. That’d be a solid name for a hardcore alcoholic vegan bar.
Dancing colors; smothered, covered and topped.
No wonder I can’t find a TPM job anywhere. The senior devs are doing all my work.
There was that one DuckTales episode about it….
It’s a result of Jimmy Carter’s dairy subsidies. There was a Planet Money episode about it, and the origin of the phrase “government cheese”:

Until the day of release arrives and you launch the game for the first time and discover the “Oops! All Escort Missions!” title card.
Television programming? It’s a stretch, one might say a broad-casting of the term.
Archive.org is here to save just a thimble-full of the magic:
Futurama is currently in the middle of its 8th season.
Family Guy is in the middle of its 22nd season.
Firefly had a geek royalty showrunner who turned out to be a real creep.
Any other examples?
He’s also still getting tons of regular work outside sci-fi. He’s got a comedy with Paul Reiser coming out later this year that looks pretty funny, too.

He doesn’t need to go back to Trek, and I’m glad for that.
Regarding Kate Mulgrew, Prodigy made a lot of sense for her given her talents as a voice actor. (RIP Infinity Train)
