This shouldn't surprise anyone. Tiktok has made it clear many times over that while they pretend to be in the clear and un affiliated with the ccp they are a direct arm of the ccp that uses tiktok as an arm to influence global politics.

Why this stuff has not been banned as a national security threat is beyond me.

The tech behind this is great, but I fear what the TV makers will do with this to prevent you from disabling ads. Samsung is bad enough as is, having a built in connection will make it even worse.

We develop huge 32" interactive display touch screens for trade shows and conferences that allow users to interact with apps and websites that a company wants to show. They look amazing and are always a show stopper for booths. They run a custom os based on AOSP which allows companies to use there pre made android app for the display instead of having to build anything custom. We also offer a website module that will display your website in full glory and interactivity.

For more information or to rent a display you can send us an email isaac@bigtopdisplays.com

The "blue badges" of software packages. Honestly not a bad idea but who and what determines a package to be "trusted"? Will there be transparency into the decisions?

"How to update an os without updating the os itself". Personally I see this model extending to other things as well, the idea that each part of the os is a "package" with a specified interface and that you can replace that package at any time as long you comply with that interface is a very powerful concept. I see this going a lot further then just sdk improvements in the future.

This should not come as a surprise to anyone here. The fact that people on HN still defend china when they clearly got their success through espionage and cheating just shows how much influence XI has on american institutions and social media. I hope everyone just wakes up in time so we can stop this nightmare before we lose everything we hold dear.

Shhhh, this has been going on for years and is known as wire fraud and carries one of the most severe punishments by law. On top of that most banks will reverse a payment when someone does it without your permission although the time and pain it takes to reverse it may vary.

Can someone Eli5 what this actually means? I mean tornado is anonymous so I can’t see the operators getting screwed.

Does it mean people like me who use it so Coinbase can’t track my wallet activity are going to have our wallets banned since we used tornado?

Triplebyte had a great model in the beginning which was focused on getting people who had skills without formal certifications jobs.

That did not make enough money so the founders pivoted like 5 times to try other things and each time they made Triplebyte more and more anti candidate.

Keep on going Ammon, we all know where these companies end.

Just want to point out that according to the authors framework for determining if a project is a ponzi, Uber, Lyft, Doordash, and many more gig economy businesses would also qualify as ponzis since they have to spend move to get users then they bring in and have not been and probably will never be profitable

The title is super clickbaity, emails are likely compromised?? Uh no. Every single closed source client for end to end encrypted messaging has this problem.

What happens if whatsapp decides to exfiltrate your end to end encrypted messages from the client side app?? There is nothing you can do to stop them. They can even attach it to an analytics event to be discrete.

Protonmail is unable to view your emails without your password and that claim is true regardless of whether they hold your encrypted private key server side.

Total garbage

This looks extremely scary to me, they say you can avoid having to noterize your apps with apple and microsoft because their installers are already approved. What happens when someone publishes some malware application using their wrapped and noterized installer? Apple and microsoft will then flag all other applications that used jdeploy as malware as well since they are all relying on the same noterized installer application.

Super risky and definitely not a good approach from a security perspective.
