Data access is just one issue. Executing CCP propaganda policy (shadowbanning topics critical of the CCP and amplifying topics that divide/destabilize western democracies) is at least as worrisome.

TikTok is actively censoring any criticism of the CCP - a much larger global actor who is currently erasing the Uighur and Tibetan cultures.
he does love the cellular automata.
Probably did it to stop Republican senators from trolling for anonymous sex a la https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Craig_scandal
If your company is using story points to “measure” developers, they are completely misusing that concept, and it probably results in a low-teamwork environment (as you describe).
The purpose of story points is so a team can say “we’re not taking more than X work for the next two weeks. Make sure it’s the important stuff.” It is a way to communicate a limit to force prioritization by the product owner.
And, in fact, data shows that point estimation so poorly converges on reality that teams may as well assign everything a “1”. The key technique is to try to make stories the same size, and to reduce variability by having the team swarm/mob to unblock stuck work.
Who creates these tasks? They need to close the year old items, reevaluate the work and break it down into sub-5-day chunks. If there are so many unknowns that it’s impossible to do that, the team needs to brainstorm how to resolve them.
fyi the NeXT OS is called NeXTSTEP.
The guy writing didn’t know about generics, so…. (to be clear, I trust the rust core devs know about these things, I’m implying that they are afraid to reference them directly because they think the M word will scare people)
Evolution can be extremely fast, if something happens that causes 95% of a population to die, and the only individuals surviving are unaffected… bam, the population adapted.
Evolution isn’t “slow change over time“. It’s surviving (or procreating) when others didn’t.
it just so happens that until man, most changes in the environment occur gradually.
They seem quite afraid of mentioning the basis for effects that Haskell, Scala et al have used for years - Monads.
So they’re going to re-invent it all 🙃
From an evolutionary point of view, the ones that didn’t have a resistance to cancer, died.
