Daily Tech News 19 March 2024

Top Story

Ars Technica violated Betteridge's Law (any headline phrased as a question can be answered with no) and the First Rule of the Internet (never read the comments) with a single article: Is TikTok's parent company an agent of the Chinese state? (Ars Technica)

Yes, they say, but only because if Bytedance executives refuse to comply the communists will murder their families.

Which is accurate but would read better if you elided the "but only".

Oh, and the first comment simply reads, Yes.

Now, whether the proposed legislation is a good idea is another thing entirely; the very worst legislation often comes with massive bipartisan support, because it benefits them, not you.

But doing something about TikTok seems necessary.

Tech News

Here we go again - or not: The naturally occurring mineral miassite turns out to be a superconductor. (Tom's Hardware)

At liquid helium temperatures. Most things are.
MacOS 14.4 breaks all the things. (Ars Technica)

When I was regularly using my Mac (I have a 2015 Retina iMac which probably still works) every time I updated the operating system the mouse acceleration utility I was using would break. So I just stopped updating, because the default mouse support was unusable on a 27" screen.

14.4 breaks USB, printing, Java, many command line functions, and license key managers - which would be a big deal for professional audio users except they're probably still clinging to 10.6.
In other news, Apple may be partnering with Google Gemini to provide AI functions. (Ars Technica)

Laughs in Microsoft.
Microsoft meanwhile is deprecating 1024-bit RSA keys. (Bleeping Computer)

Which... Is actually sensible and necessary; 1024-bit keys have been deprecated in internet standards since 2013.
Stripe and Substack want all your financial history. (Substack)

Well, Stripe certainly does, and Substack doesn't seem to have clean hands here.

Substack processes all payments via Stripe, and Stripe appears to be selectively enforcing new rules that require you to provide them with the full transaction history of your bank account.

Robert Malone (author of the piece) got a lawyer instead. Substack has so far refused to speak to him.
I bank with CBE. (BBC)

As you can see, my last transaction was yesterday, when I withdrew $40 million from the nearest ATM.
The TOXMAX rocket uses a molten, radioactive mix of lithium and cesium-137 as fuel, and a fluorine oxidiser. (Twitter)

It has a higher specific impulse than hydrogen/oxygen while keeping itself warm on cold winter nights. Yes, it will kill you, and everyone else in the area, but who wants to live forever?

6 Willowed . . . Last night I redid my state taxes, since I found out how and where to take the Fed-taxable part of my SS off the gross. It looks like I only will owe . . . $9.00! I'd made an appointment with a Jackson Hewitt office, but I think I'll cancel that now and see if I can confirm with one of the free tax help programs they keep advertising around here. Though they probably think I make too much dough to qualify for those.

And I have almost two months before that $9.00 is due.

13 I like that it accidentally got out that we don't have enough power for both EVs and AI. Heck, because we've decided to not efficiently produce power we don't have enough power for American homes even without any of that.

But I'm betting households get put on the backburner for AI since AI will allow government to shrug their shoulders and say "Wasn't our idea, we asked the AI that we programmed to answer this way and it told us to do this thing you stupid people are displeased with."

74 I just learned that onlyfans is a pyramid scheme.

Sorry, "multi level marketing." Not a pyramid scheme, because those are illegal.

"There are referral programs that allow a referrer to earn up to $50,000 for a referral (if the creator they referred earns $1 million). According to OnlyFans, referring a creator earns you 5% of that creator's earnings for the first year only. Referrals started prior to May 1, 2020 will have one more year to receive earnings from referrals. This is why you’ll see TikToks and girls in videos brag about the house they bought and include their link in bio to get referrals."

"For example, approximately 73 per cent of the entire income generated by the site is concentrated into the hands of a mere 10 per cent of its creators. This leaves 90 per cent of the creators left to split a meagre 27 per cent of the remaining profit, with an average income of $180 for performers...

Additionally, OnlyFans’ economic model dictates that they take a 20 per cent cut of all performers’ income..."

'People' (no modifier) can be bad. Jews are people, therefore they too can be bad.

One thing I have told people and I think I heard someone say a very long time ago. The Bible is both a record and a roadmap. One of the reasons it rings true is that it shows people, warts and all. Not just idealized versions of people, but people at their worst and people even at their best making mistakes or rather people doing the wrong thing when it makes no sense, but they do it all the same. That is real.

It is the record of a people who did not just sanitize their history so that they never ever did anything wrong and then you think, well that seems false. And it tries to point out what works and does not work with people by showing what happens when you do this or that.

183 "I had to take the solar-power sprinkler out of the new birdbath because it was too strong and sprayed all the water out."

I had the same problem with one.

Then I took several very small diameter drill bits and step by step enlarged several of the holes on the spray plate on top.

With each increase in diameter, the water stream became thicker, but slightly lower where the wind would not catch the water as easily and blow it out.

I finally came up with a combination that worked well, as the water only shot about 8 inches into the air at best before falling back down.

THEN.....I took three heavy fishing weights on three pieces of line, and fastened them to the bottom of the floating solar powered pump, and used the weights to anchor the floating pump roughly in the center of the bird bath.

Works very well now, and the wind doesn't blow the water out, nor blow the floating pump around.

Yep. The Bible shows the consequences of one's actions, for sure. Even though the Jews are God's Chosen People, they screwed up again and again and again. Usually when they stopped listening to God.

Not just criticize- but limit. She pretty much openly articulated the view we always knew the left had on the Constitution: that it hamstrings their power and therefore is wrong. That is it's entire point. Circumscribe and limit the government's power.

And then she throws down the EMERGENCY trump card. Fuck you, that is not how this works. The Constitution does not have a coda that says 'This all applies, unless there is an emergency.'

These people cannot be reasoned with. *types* *deletes*
