Are we reading the same articles? The Forbes story is just suggesting that there's a possible interpretation of their statements as lying and your link is saying that China wants TikTok to remain owned by a Chinese firm -- and of course they do, for the same reason the US would resist huge chunks of our own hugely profitable companies being sold off. There's no actual evidence of anything.
Like I'm ready to get out the pitchforks but this is just weird FUD.
> Forbes story is just suggesting that maybe they lied
Yes, lying under oath is called perjury.
> your link is saying that China wants TikTok to remain owned by a Chinese firm
Say a foreign country were considering banning Lockheed Martin. And the U.S. ambassador picked up the phone--not to fellow diplomats, but individual legislators--to argue against it. Do you not see how the fact that this rose to the level of state-level mediation concedes there are non-economic factors at play?

It's been happening in Russia for the past two years. The cases where it rises to diplomatic incident are not strongly correlated with value as much as strategic worth.
> Do you not see how the fact that this rose to the level of state-level mediation concedes there are non-economic factors at play?
Ambassadors and diplomatic missions routinely intervene (including contacting legislators) to protect the perceived economic interests of their country’s large corporations and strategic industries.
I’m absolutely certain that if an important market for an important firm (eg: Lockheed) were to threaten to stop buying, top State Department staff would absolutely “pick up the phone” to legislators at a bare minimum.

You mean the exact thing that happened with Facebook during the transatlantic data sharing agreement dispute because of the CLOUD act? Do you assume it's because the US is secretly manipulating EU citizens with pro-America propaganda? Even worse it was because Facebook said it was technically impossible for them to not store some data on EU citizens in the US.
> It's been happening in Russia for the past two years
Yes, because of the US imposed sanctions on Russia. It's not at all the same thing when we chose to force our own businesses to pull out or sell. Do we not remember the time when Github (along with every other company) couldn't do business in Iran?
> Do you assume it's because the US is secretly manipulating EU citizens with pro-America propaganda?
No, but there absolutely were IC concerns, as well as trade-integration ones between allies. Non-economic, politically-relevant factors. In that case, not necessarily all adversarial.
> because of the US imposed sanctions on Russia
We sanctioned certain Russian entities. Russia responded by seizing American and European assets. There were no U.S. sanctions on e.g. Danish beer made in Russia [1].
Who hasn't lied to Congress at this point? Facebook did it, Amazon did it, the oil industry did it, Betsy DeVos did it, the director of the CIA did it, EPA Chief Scott Pruitt did it, Big Tobacco did it. How many of them faced any real consequences?
If Databricks makes their money off model serving and doesn't care whose model you use, they are incentivized to help the open models be competitive with the closed models they can't serve.
Governments in other countries have come to a different view, and it's for Apple to determine how worth it is for them to conform to the view come to by the representatives of the EU citizens versus catering to markets with other regulatory regimes.
The thing is that the short term is much easier to predict what you're going to need and where the value is, and in the long term you might not even work on this codebase anymore. Lot of incentives to get things done in the short term.

I believe what the post you're replying to is implying is, there's a ton of C++ code in the world that isn't going to be ported to Rust, and someone is going to have to fix all of those bugs in C++ code already in the wild. So you can get paid to be that person.

That is well and good for legacy systems that cannot / will not be updated.
Android is not a legacy system and is adopting Rust and seeing security benefits.
Linux is not a legacy system and is slowly adopting Rust and may see greater use with time.
Time will tell, but so far the future is optimistic.
They do say in the article that they are uninterested in rewriting existing c/c++ code in new languages.
There will continue to be c/c++ applications that will need new features, new bug fixes and new development for decades.
Some of the most fundamental code on the planet for the most critical systems are written in those languages. Also a lot of video game development leans heavily on c++ in particular and that's not going to change very quickly. Big or small enterprise hardware vendors won't change to new languages overnight, abandoning potentially decades of system building experience and supporting processes. There's a cost to even being able to run rust alongside your c/c++ code. Some places may never switch or enable interoperability even for new products.
Learning c/c++ will still be lucrative and a good idea today.

100% USDA Grade-A Certified Prime BS, as shown by both projects' ages (15+, 30+ years) and maybe the definition of legacy. If you consider legacy to be something you have to keep a certain way so that it functions a certain way, then both are basically legacy technologies. What isn't legacy? I would say projects like Fuchsia and Rust itself aren't legacy because you can move fast and break things there. This also means stuff like C++ is legacy, so there's that too.
