The articles I read analyses that ablation pressure is so dominant as to render radiation pressure irrelevant. But since it’s not publicly known…

To ablation pressure (indirectly resulting from heating) will be much higher than the direct radiation pressure.

> Technically it’s not! The most effective known way of compressing fusion fuel is to generate an insanely high x-ray pressure using a fission primary. We’ve been doing that since the 50s!

It’s believed that ablation pressure is responsible for the compression of the secondary here as well, and not radiation pressure, as I understand it. Ablation pressure seems unavoidable and is much higher.

A similar principle is thought to ignite the secondary in a thermonuclear weapon.

It’s the reaction force (Newton’s) resulting from material flying away at extremely high acceleration and thus force.

The ablation pressure is much higher, making the radiation pressure mostly or entirely irrelevant.

Yes, I’m sure that those laws would invade our privacy. However, that wasn’t the claim or my question.

> Their main goal is citizen surveillance.

I asked how do you know this? How do you know it isn’t for the reasons they state, whether or not you agree with them?

How do you know they don't want that access in order to "stop pedos" and other crimes?

> Do you know how to use Google?

There is no reason to be upset when someone asks you to back up claims made.

The first link is Shaq sharing a “popular theory”?

The others ones talk mainly about the time restrictions, and talks about a different service, not Douyin.

You forgot to cite something to back up the claim that Douyin only shows educational content. Obviously not all restrictions are bad, but in general, restrictions imposed upon the citizens by an authoritarian government aren’t a model to follow.

Never used it.

> The China version only has educational content

That seems very unlikely to be true. Can you substantiate that? Also, whatever restrictions China has for its citizens, is hardly a model worth following.

You don't feel that's a pretty drastic measure in a free country, to ban an entire category of software, essentially?

It's called TikTok, by the way.

That's a very extreme measure you're advocating for, I'd say.

> The problems are privacy laws and the straight up harm of social media addiction, especially for the young

Yeah, but for the latter, you might also ban other social media. That's a pretty drastic measure in a fee country.

Are those usually government owned, though? Or their devices?

> You can't have tiktok on your personal phone, and walk around inside the US pentagon every day Mapping it out with GPS thats sent to China.

It puzzles me a bit when people think that the TikTok app (and other apps) would be able to do anything remotely like this :p. It certainly can't, especially not when not active.

> It could give away troops positions or base locations.

So, that's more likely (since people might use the app now and then), but it seems like bases would be much easier to detect with regular satellite intel.

That said, I agree that apps in general should be restricted in such situations.

> the EU commission thought of that and put in law that companies cant do that.

No, actually. The legislation specifically only applies to devices being capable of being charged by wire, and up to 100W, and in certain categories.

You don’t have to use Google in the first place. I can have a passkey on my iPhone and use it to log into some website on a computer using Chrome. I already tried that with Edge, which supports it.

Part of the system is where you can use your own device to handle the credentials.

They could add passkey support. Other apps have or are.

I don’t know what he meant by that. But the passkey only works for that specific login. So in that sense it would be like having 100% unique passwords in all cases.

Well, if you want cross platform sync, you’d best use a cross platform credential manager that can handle passkeys. They exist :)

Sites should make it easier to add multiple passkeys, which would also help.

> Instagram didn’t do it, Twitter didn’t do it, Facebook didn’t do it. None of the mobile apps in their space did what TikTok was doing. Why was TikTok?

Who knows. You don’t, at least.

> You made arguments, none of them are a good reason for copying clipboard data every second and then suddenly changing that behavior with no functionality loss.

Plenty of apps did it, and the functionality lost isn’t always clear to the user, or, like I already said, it was just written a different way so no function was lost.

> Did they ever give a good reason to be doing it? They haven’t.

Sure they did. For instance:

> Following the beta release of iOS14 on June 22, users saw notifications while using a number of popular apps. For TikTok, this was triggered by a feature designed to identify repetitive, spammy behavior. We have already submitted an updated version of the app to the App Store removing the anti-spam feature to eliminate any potential confusion.

Other apps did similar. Also, it wasn’t “every second”.

> It would seem from a PR perspective if it was for some user functionality benefit you would just say, our bad, we did it so we could parse youtube links automatically for you. They didn’t do that.

They did do that.
