Guess the old "change the system from within"-mantra doesn't fly too well with everyone.
I think Oracle's case was incredibly full of merit, and an incredible PR campaign was run by Google to ensure nobody believed it. The idea that the whole of the software industry was under threat if Google wasn't able to wholesale violate Oracle's license terms for Java is absolutely laughable, but it's nearly a commonly held belief in the industry, propped up largely by organizations Google's Public Policy team has donated large sums to.

Bear in mind, Google's internal correspondence covered knowing they needed to license Java, negotiating terms to license Java, and then when they didn't want to comply with Oracle's terms (which were literally: interoperability, because they wanted Android to run standard cross-platform Java apps), they chose to steal what they wanted instead. Andy Rubin (of "Larry Page gave me $90 million after I sexually harassed subordinates" fame) had a major bonus tied to launching Android on time, and just taking what he needed was the solution.

Also, if Android had been GPL-licensed, they could've built on OpenJDK from the get-go legitimately, but again, stealing was preferable in Google's case to obeying license terms, because they wanted to appeal to manufacturer's pushing proprietary code.

Oracle is not a hero, but Google was fighting against interoperability and open source licensing the entire way, and bought their way into public opinion.

I'd be very happy to see uber kicked out of London long enough for a competitor to take hold.

I simply do not trust the company.

I accept that the market pressure uber has brought has improved transportation. I do not accept that uber and its repeated atrocious behaviors required for this.

Its a shame that uber can so easily bypass tfl with appeals and minor changes.

Look up "It's OK to be white". It is, in my opinion, the most brilliant phrase ever conceived, a phrase nobody of sound mind would object to, yet is extremely divisive (due to its political use) to the point where people have lost their jobs for saying it.

Outside of USA, where most people don't have an iPhone, I don't really see the point.. It would be more usefull with ipads or any less personal device :
If the shop's owner haves an iPhone accepting paiement but it's an employee doing the paiements, the shop opwner has to give his personal phone to the employee to accept paiement ? Or he needs to buy an other iPhone with no personal data and accepting paiement (is it even possible ? ) to give the employee ? .. and now it's already more expensive than a simple contactless paiement machine.

It's sad no fix was released, but I find it equally sad it was marked obsolete after just 2 years. Obsolete basically means: we don't care about this device anymore, buy a new one instead.

In a world where striving for lower environmental impact should become core business of every company and individual because sustaining the current lifestyle of many is going to severely damage the planet in one way or another, this is not the kind of sign major companies (and they pretty much all do it in the mobile business) should send into the world.

For a lot of people these companies are half gods, and what they do shall be believed in, it becomes part of their education. Making people believe buying devices and throwing them away after a just year or two is standard isn't exactly noble. Yeah yeah I know money is the driving factor behind companies, but that doesn't mean it cannot be combined with sending a 'greener' message into the world.

I personally use bitbucket for my repos, yet I would not want to loose access to github.

GitHub has become more than a DVCS: Loads of relevant Open Source projects are hosted there. If I want to contribute - or even browse issues - I need access to GitHub. Same goes for discovery.

Also, lot's of tutorials will provide their example project on GitHub. Plus, GitHub both hosts a fair amount of static pages of Open Source projects and individuals, plus some blogs/tutorials embed gists when the use code samples.

> we still have no idea what biologically separates a man like this from the rest of us

I don't think it was a biological separation. Neumann, and his brilliant peers, all grew up in Hungary in the midst of political and ethnic oppression with significant economic and language barriers to overcome. Books have been written about it, and I can't accurately recount the facts. But it seems to me that what separates him and his peers is their perseverance in the face of adversity. Having overcome the very difficult circumstances in which they were born prepared them for great success later in life. It's inspiring, but in some ways it's also survivorship bias, since there were uncountable people who were born in the same circumstances and did not overcome. I think similar things are happening with refugees today. Those who overcome their circumstances often go on to be outstanding examples of genius and accomplishment in their fields.
There are plenty of frameworks which don't use vDOM. In fact, if someone is coding up something new today they're less likely to use vDOM.

TailwindCSS is open source and free. It's at https://tailwindcss.com/.

TailwindUI is an optional paid product that has a bunch of pre-made TailwindCSS components created by the makers of TailwindCSS. Basically pre-made widgets and layouts.

TailwindUI has a few free components too (no signups required) at https://tailwindui.com/preview.

And if you Google around for Tailwind components and themes you'll be able to find a bunch. It's just CSS at the end of the day so there's lots of community driven examples. For example here's a bunch of free ones at https://tailwindcomponents.com/components, https://www.tailwindtoolbox.com/starter-templates and more at https://github.com/aniftyco/awesome-tailwindcss#ui-libraries....

> The first time someone loses their mind because they forget their phone's PIN and now can't access their wedding photos, which of course they've never backed up anywhere else, it becomes apparent that most people want Apple to be able to access their stuff as long as it's in service of doing something convenient for the person.

This is a false dichotomy.

Apple had invested significantly in doing a form of key escrow with trusted other devices and other users, possibly involving secret sharing with trusted friends-and-family, that would permit users to have end-to-end encrypted data that could still be recovered without Apple having keys.

The FBI nixed the plan, and Apple obeyed.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusiv...

Apple employs tons of world class cryptography experts, and has designed several end-to-end cryptosystems, and is perhaps the foremost leading expert organization on what comprises good UX "for the rest of us". This is a solvable problem, and the "they can't do e2e because" excuses that people throw up (such as the one you provided) fall down when we see that they had a system ready to go that was ended on the initiative of those who would prefer surveillance.

Even Google figured out a way to do e2e device backups for Android in a privacy-preserving way. Apple is at least as competent as they are at designing cryptosystems, possibly more so.

The technical issue can be solved, but not as long as Apple doesn't want to upset the FBI.
> I'm going to mostly ignore your claims that intellectual property protection are required for innovation, and just mention these: quicksort, most network protocols, loads of page replacement algorithms, tons of programming languages and implementations, etc.

IP protection might not always be required for innovation, but if you compare countries that have "fair and balanced" IP protection -- really, property rights generally -- against those that don't, you find that the former seem to do better in fostering innovation.

Certainly there are people and companies who create things for the joy of it, for reputation, for the indirect benefits that come from the existence of a widely-adopted standard, for purely-altruistic reasons, etc. Good for them; the world needs more of them.

But sometimes creators need to get actual money, from others who don't necessarily share the joy, to buy equipment, travel, hired help, and other things. And that usually entails a legal system that helps innovation investors recoup the 'capital' they put at risk.

> ... a patent/copyright/etc. on a piece of software or a digital media file is quite literally a claim of ownership of a natural number.

Also there are some things that you just cannot shoot live... In CGI you can change the laws of physics, for example, you can bring people to live that have died centuries ago, or create imaginary world that are limited only by the human imagination - something that has been shown to be immensely capable.
That looks nowhere near as good as Roman's work. It doesn't look real, most of the renders they show are obviously CGI to my eye.

If you're still doubting, just checkout Third and Seventh, it's amazing.
I also find Samsung to aggressively erode user privacy and push ads. It's a company I avoid.
It says “for Android” right in the title, but I’m sure there are people who’d like to know if there will be an iOS release (and if yes, when that may be likely). I couldn’t find answers to this in the FAQ.

For iOS, there’s Lockdown (lockdownprivacy.com), which is slightly similar to this.
It's clearly no a silver bullet.

There may be opportunities for more blue-collar variants. I'm trying to think where but there was some program to hire former soldiers as teachers, which is a bit like that.

Evidently you don’t understand difference in the size of this run up?

VW, the mother of short squeezes driven on unexpected Porsche purchase went from $200 to $1000, eg 5x

$ACB had no short squeeze, they had some run ups, with biggest in 2018 of $66 to $194

$TLRY peaked at $300 with historic low of $21 and it took months.

$GME went from $4.2 to $482 in about 5 months, none of the previous tickets you mentioned moved literally >100x. Even in 2021 GME went from $17, so over 25x in one month, this has no precedent. It leaves VW and TLRY entirely in the dust, they are not even close.
Guess it was good market research.

Now GTA V / GTA Online made half a billion dollars in 2019, six years after it was released.
Which... you mostly can do that with React.

Focus is the hardest one, because that can move around really erratically. But even that sometimes has to be done in state. IE11 doesn’t have descendant focus selectors so at my last job I wrote a hook for our dropdown children to dump their focus state into a React context so our renderers could stay pure and not rely on CSS and therefore DOM state.

Just last week I implemented a hook to reposition a tooltip based on the mouse cursor.

You do need to think about DOM state a little when doing these things. But I would argue that’s somewhat separate from the activity of building a React UI. It’s pretty rare you can’t just render purely based on the React state, using off-the-shelf hooks.
Amen to that! Land is a public good, and density even more so.
The clearinghouse requiring more margin should definitely be investigated, but it’s not unreasonable. Robinhood offers margin accounts, and may have lent money to all the traders by GME at 300-400 dollars, over 10 times what it was trading at previously. It was completely plausible that Robinhood could have gone bankrupt, which means the clearing firm would have been on the hook for all of that money.

In my opinion, what needs to be investigated more is the “payment for order flow” business.
I earned $5,000.00 from Google AdSense in two different months, with an average of $3,500.00 per month for about three years, with one single well-researched essay on legal music downloading:

Lots of people earn money from web advertising by writing articles and essays, but a common mistake is that their articles are not long enough. They only make them long enough so that the ad units look nice next to the text.

What you want is an article that is worth someone's time to read in-depth, and that they will want to recommend to others by linking it from their own sites, from Facebook and the link. Ultimately it was those links that paid off, not the adsense directly.

A problem with making so much money from just one page is that it's fragile; the revenue fluctuated wildly. These days I'm working to build my site by writing a wide variety of articles and essays.

In December I got 38,000 page views. I'm not doing anything right now to monetize the site, just a few affiliate ads for books. I do not yet aim to make money from my site, rather I want to build organic links.

Setup an origin box (or a few and use a load balancer) running nginx. Then use a CDN (we love MaxCDN) to pull from the origin. Make sure you setup the cache headers right in nginx. Something like:

location ~* \.(?:ico|js|css|gif|jpe?g|png|xml)$ {
expires 30d;
add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";

Stolen credit cards is probably high on the list.

You'd think Google wouldn't want to give away free computer resources to these 'hackers' since the banks will almost assuredly take back any mis-gotten money from stolen credit cards.
Every opportunity they present is awesome⸮
That's the point. Instead of arguing whether to delete or keep an article, the deletionists can now argue over whether an article should be core or non core, thus very much limiting the damage they do. They WILL argue about something, we can't control that, we can only control what they will argue about.
I think the algorithm he is suggesting is..

1. Get empirical probability vote is within 2 million from previous N elections. (so, 1 if it is within 2 mill, and 0 of not, then average). Use it as p(vote is within 2 million).
2. Assume that if a vote is within 2 million, then the exact number of votes is uniform between 0 and 2 million. Then, the probability of a tie, given that the vote is within 2 million is p(vote within w million) / 2 million.

Of course they would.

I won't even claim that severe lockdowns (which is not what anyone in the US or UK is facing) is the best solution.

However, in the absence of almost any reliable knowledge, it's probably the ONLY rational plan based on the fact that the one thing we do know is the method of spreading, and locking down will prevent that spread.
I have no idea. Maybe they can't, but we won't find out for 5 years when someone brings one out of a closet. Maybe there is enough current leakage when in non charging mode for them to run that much electronics.
Yeah. My AWS experience is on small-scale deployments--up to a few dozen servers. It's painful to manage them through the Amazon UI. When I left that client, the devops team there was transitioning to TerraForm and other deployment and configuration systems, and connecting to in-house monitoring systems. That's the right approach. It's out of reach for smaller teams who can't afford the extra engineering; they're better off with something like Digital Ocean. DO has a fantastic UI and a decent API, but doesn't support anywhere near the level of enterprise features that AWS does.

You say you still rarely get restful sleep. Have you had any formal sleep studies? Lack of quality sleep can cause a lot of the problems you have experienced, so you might consider getting one done. Also, your doctor should know how to differentiate between obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, and any other issues you think may be contributing to your problem.
You're also likely not paying as much for living either.
Reading this news, I remembered I had an old secondary account (for a musical project) that I hadn't used in years but wanted to keep.

I logged in using this old account, and Twitter asked me to prove I was not a bot. It required I would fill a recaptcha but also that I would give them a phone number for SMS verification.

So in order to keep this old account, I have to disclose my phone number to Twitter. I'm furious.
In this case they should have done their market analysis properly I think.

One of the USP's for Apple devices for me always was the quality of materials and production. Weakening this point of reference by opting for poor quality materials and implementing strange new designs that break fast is poor product management in my opinion.

I don't see that behavior in Apple's past so often - the opposite is true.

Look at the iPhones for example: The early models had a plastic case and buttons and then they introduces more metal etc. somewhere around the 4/5s.

The same happened with their notebooks: They started with cheap plastic cases and upgraded to metal. Nice.

There is more products where they excelled at improving the features and the quality. If it is their choice to leave this USP in the dust they will loose customers like me because quality, good materials and stuff like that are very important for some people.

Exactly. The Bitcoin folks like to point to a "shadow cabal" that controls US currency as though that same problem doesn't exist in Bitcoin's architecture. At least we know the names of everyone serving on the Federal Reserve's board.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, can be controlled by any miner or group of miners having over 50% of the network's hash rate[1]. We don't know the identities of the miners and we have seen them engage in political actions that change the behavior of the currency[2].

As this is HN: Wittgenstein was the guy who invented truth tables.

He is my personal favorite philosopher along with Quine. Wittgenstein is IMO underappreciated. First he kind of described what is possible with philosophy with regard to the physical world in the Tractatus. And then he explored the "virtual world" in his writings about games. To me his writing style is a bit of a hindrance to get to his concepts. But I think I know, what he is getting at (prove me wrong).

More "mystic" philosophers were obviously pissed and have been bad-mouthing him ever since.
