It depends. In SEO this kind of strategy could be considered to be 'keyword stuffing'.

Apple have specific rules regarding keywords in the App Store, as I'm sure you must already be aware.

They specifically state: "The unauthorized use of trademarked terms, celebrity names, or other protected words and phrases is not allowed and is a common reason for App Store rejection. The use of terms that are not relevant to the app and the use of competing app names are similarly prohibited." [0]

— and any of these clauses are what could be biting you, but I specifically suspect, as you claim in another thread that you are in fact using the name of a competitor app in your keywords, it will be the final sentence that you are falling foul of. Even if it is also a generic term, if that term is not relevant to your app (is your app actually about monkey(s)? I guess not, otherwise there would be little argument), then you will have little recourse: you have already agreed to these terms as part of one of your contractual agreements with Apple.

Furthermore, I suspect that, because of the way this clause is worded, the offending keyword doesn't even need to be protected by trademark law: it merely needs to be the name of a competitor's app.

Should you choose to challenge it, you will need to build your case around those three clauses: the first is standard copyright/trademark law stuff. Sure, one can argue it's a generic term, but then one's actions (using the keyword in your context) would still appear as possible "passing off". Then you would have to prove that the ostensibly generic term in question is in fact relevant to your app. But you're gonna get stuck with that final clause if your keyword is in fact the name of a competitor's app. I don't think there's much argument there, and this is likely a part of the agreed contract between Apple and yourself.

That's how I read it anyway. But I'm certainly not a lawyer, (I'm a software engineer), though I have dealt with a bit of contract law over the years. I'd also advise you to seek proper legal advice if you intend to try and challenge any of Apple's contracts, because Apple most certainly have already in the first instance, and losing one's developer license — particularly over something as small as keyword stuffing — could likely be quite devastating in many instances. (I'm certainly not saying don't challenge their contract at all, merely that you should make the right preparation if you intend to do so: it's pretty easy to find legal advice on contract law)

Everyone except nutters. Google bounces. Microsoft too. I don't know of any provider that doesn't. Surely someone somewhere does not bounce but they are in the minority.
As someone who recently learned monads, this exactly was a point of confusion for me.
How much profit has Roblox made?
Apple in general doesn’t use gpl code. The vast majority of their work is BSD or BSD-like license.
We have a max amount of $140 per year for healthcare, if I go above this any further treatment is free.

I consider an air gap to be a computer that is not connected to the internet, and is not networked with another device that connects to the internet.

A robotic tape library might fit that definition, and it might not.
The Tyco executives were sued by the SEC because they didn't disclose the loans and acted in a way the shareholders didn't approve of in a massive way. Note I stated "If the shareholders and board..." in my comment, so that's totally a different scenario from the one I mentioned. In my example, everyone knows there's a party happening and the majority of shareholders agree with it. So long as everyone knows what's happening and the majority agrees with it, they don't have to bother trying to make a profit. They don't have to bother to make returns. If the shareholders decide buying Maseratis for everyone is what the company wants to do, there's nothing inherently wrong with that.

Corporations don't have to maximize shareholder value. Corporate actors need to be beholden to the interests of the shareholders, but that does not mean they need to bother to make a profit. Most publicly traded companies do focus on making a profit, and most people buy shares in companies with the expectation they generate returns. Nothing says this has to be the goal.
Boston is not affordable in any reasonable sense, speaking as a professional in the Boston area.
> Science is built on consensus

That's definitely the messaging public representatives use when communicating science issues to the general public. It's very effective at getting compliance across a society where our instinct is to look to our peers to figure out how to behave.

As others have said, what has made science effective at being a vehicle of growth and change is that it is empirical / evidence based. New ideas slowly diffuse and get accepted as evidence grows for their support (which can take a long while).

Decision making by evidence is also pretty much the opposite of natural human group behavior. I recommend reading/listening to some of the newer research on human psychology of groups. It pretty concretely shows that people consistently choose group harmony + stability over converging on the truth / correctness. Basically in a group we value getting along with each other a lot more (being in agreement / having consensus) than we value knowing what really is happening. Also, scientists being humans are not immune to this behavior either which is why evidence based progress is slow and can be resisted by established groups for lengthy periods.
Your web app should basically work (at least essential functionality) on something like lynx as that is a decent proxy for screen readers or other accessibility aids. You'll be looking at ADA complaints if you don't.
Yeah... if anything I would have said the opposite: I remember when fans were made of metal or at least had sharp plastic blades. Now, everything's designed for some combination of cheap construction and liability reduction. (And, also, feels a bit more "disposable"... the fans my parents had when I was a kid were designed to be taken apart to fully clean, and I do remember taking them apart and running them without the covers as I was "one of those" kids ;P but I think I'm just expected to throw these plastic fans I have away if they get dusty?...) I just purposefully stuck my pinky finger into my fan on fully speed and it didn't even hurt. (I guess I'll admit that the Vornado on the other side of the room looks a bit more intimidating, but I'm not sure I could actually get my finger into it anyway... the one where I succeeded was actually really hard as, despite my fingers being pretty slender and long, I could barely find an angle where I could touch the blade.)

Happy customer of RevenueCat. Integrated and never looked back.
Sure, but how is this relevant though?

It's other people's feet people like, not their own (and so don't themselves feel those sensations when they touch them or whatever).
>Also, part of the way this swinging back to equilibrium will work is by the left tearing each other apart with more and more demands to just accept the liberal orthodoxy handed down from on high.

Already happening; see JK Rowling denounced as a "TERF", for example, despite having otherwise impeccable bien-pensant credentials.
Which universal principles is he concerned about exactly? The libertarian who founded a state surveillance company?
Sorry if I gave the impression that I'm downplaying anything here, I'm not trying to. I'm simply trying to understand how "harassment" comes into play by a project having a "funny" name. If someone simply utters the word "Coq" it's hardly harassment, but instead the authors/suggesters of the change seems to indicate that people have been harassed over the projects name, I'm simply looking for understanding and/or examples of that happening.

And yes, if it's important, I'm "part" of a couple of marginalized groups myself, but I'm not sure how that's important here.
I honestly don't think opening up documentation would change a lot.

The medium hard part of FPGA tooling is synthesis, and the truly hard part is high performance placement and routing with low run times.

The competitive benefits of being good at that are huge, because it can literally mean the difference between choosing a component of one vendor vs the one of another. As a user, the tooling and the underlying HW architecture can be mostly treated as an inseparable blob: it's not as if you're going to design specifically for a particular FPGA logic element feature, you rely entirely on what the backend tool with do with it.

If I were Intel or AMD, I'd be fine with opening up some documentation that helps users to a certain extent, but I'd never agree to an open backend model.
'Got mine' mentality.

If you raise the floor you are by definition making everyone else less wealthy by comparison, and therefore threatening the status of middle class persons as being significantly better than those on the bottom of society.

At least with means-tested welfare you can trap those people in a cycle of dependence and tell them what they can and cannot do in order to receive that help.

I do both and I order the clothes most times.

Clothes I can use in multiple situations (like a pair of jeans or normal t-shirts) are grouped together but I also use "use-case-drawers" (like sports or outside work clothes).

My girlfriend (no tech background) uses a more seperated system (work t-shirts are not sorted to work pants) but still seperated by use-case (normal pants /= work pants).

I guess it's up to everyones own preferences then..
Flow based programming has a funny way of being suppressed... this has been tried many, many times. Some examples off the top of my head: Scratch, Windows Workflow Foundation, Arc Model Builder, etc. All of the marketing for NoFlo seems to be targeted at non-programmers who think "I could code anything if I could just understand the syntax!" Their main video basically says "Don't you wish you could finally stop paying those sneaky developers who act like everything takes longer than it really does? Now you can!"
Although Active Directory and Exchange are pretty entrenched. And how's Sharepoint and Lync doing? Microsoft still have quite a foothold in the enterprise, even leaving aside Office.
The car service he describes actually sort of exists. It's car2go and it's around in Amsterdam and London as well.

You rent little electric smarts per minute and get free minutes for putting it back at a charging location. The cars can be put back anywhere in the city though and you can find them using the app which shows you all the locations.
being a good programmer is not about knowing how to handle the minute details; it is about know how to handle complexity.
There would still be a lot of moving parts on the table. What to do with all these HTML files? How do I link them together? How do I get those files to a hosting provider? Where do I handle global styling? For the content creating itself a WYSIWYG editor would be fine, but there's more to the process.
I'm also guilty of the builder mentality. It's just a fun project to work on and it benefits at least on other person :)
Actually, you’re right. The only thing people actually need is a good WYSIWYG editor; the format is probably uninteresting to the end user. Though there is a case to be made for using an open, well-documented format (whether it be Markdown or HTML or something else), since without this openness third-party developers would have trouble in developing and customizing their own exporters.

Well, if you’re suggesting HTML (or XML) for that job, then maybe it’s time to resurrect XLST instead of using Pandoc… (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSLT)
It would reconverge on incredibly fine, but it’s undoubtedly going to be disruptive to people and businesses along the way towards that resettling.
But for a lot of purposes, encryption really isn't that important. Most friend groups isn't a group of journalists and their sources discussing state secrets. The privacy from end-to-end encryption is a nice-to-have, but I'm not even sure if it's worth the inherent inconvenience for most friend groups.
> Well, I see no significant benefit here over a simple list.

I don't think I understand?

> Not saying that there is none but I am not convinced to do anything with it until I see some actual use for it (and FB is not involved in any way whatsoever)

FB is not involved in any way whatsoever in our project. It's not a new idea really. Second Life is close to two decades old at this point, and there's a long tradition of repurposing existing systems/games to other ends.
As someone who switched from KDE in ~2017 mainly to try wayland, and stayed for the configurability and tiling aspect... Is there a way to make KDE ingest my sway configuration? I would get the best of both worlds this way. Bonus points if the resulting config is compatible with both!

I'm pretty sure kwin's window rules support everything you can express in a sway configuration.

Apple will continue to expand into new categories it thinks will do well. They're traditionally concerned with a product either being the market leader in terms of quality, rather than being the inventor of a category.

Plus this whole inventing new categories things is silly, you'd have to go back a long way for Apple to have created a category, they excel at being more refined than existing players.

Facebook Platform, Graph API, Like Button, Social Applications - a few truly transformative things that have come out of facebook in the past few years. Saying facebook doesn't innovate is rubbish.

The author, Nick Hanauer, has a podcast (https://pitchforkeconomics.com/) that is heavy on demonizing the very rich 1% and vaguely blaming “neoliberalism” (by which he generally means Milton Friedman-style libertarianism; not sure what he thinks of progressive neoliberals https://exponents.substack.com/p/what-neoliberals-believe). It’s similar to how the Democrats promise not to raise taxes on anyone whose income is under $400,000 (https://joebiden.com/two-tax-policies/).

I think this populist “Don't tax you, don't tax me, tax that fellow behind the tree!” sentiment is probably the wrong focus. I hope people will eventually support broader policies to promote equality (https://www.niskanencenter.org/faster_fairer/agenda.html), antimonopoly policies, and broader tax increases (such as land value taxes and closing capital gains tax loopholes) instead of singularly focusing on bogeymen.
Not uncommon in the states, but there are workarounds.
We are working on a passthrough USB HFC/coax media converter. Still won't solve the problem 100% of the time, but doing DOCSIS decode and scanning at Layer 2 is possible in a lot of cases.

It seems to me that maybe there's some sort of phenomenon where women really enjoy image-focused websites to a greater extent than men do.

Other examples of sites and apps that seemingly have more heavily weighted female userbases and also are image focused - Tumblr, ello, Instagram, Snapchat, Flickr? And of course the greatest example which we've already discussed - Pinterest.
Although there are versions of Linux that are hard-realtime, the approach they take is to have a proper RTOS "underneath" Linux and effectively run Linux as a non realtime process.

Linux as a whole is far too large and dynamic for deterministic response.

Linux does get used a lot for soft realtime applications tho, especially in the military world.
Well, it is. Just doesn't haven't wifi at the moment. There are two onboard mini-pci slots, so it'd definitely easy to add on (or two) radios. If folks are interested, we may we produce a version that has a/b/g/n or ac wireless.
Close. It's a PC Engine APU. In our testing, quite a bit faster than the Alix.
That's true but just to be clear, they are not blocking VPNs at protocol level but "manually" blocking the IPs of specific providers. They do the same with Tor: block all public Tor relay IPs.

> Informal communication, informal collaboration, a culture of apprenticeship

You're right of course, those qualities don't naturally occur remotely.

However, and I know I'm slightly taking your use of "culture" out of context, but "Culture" is often code for any number of implicit biases in a workplace. Known or unknown. If you don't fit in, for whatever reason, can you still not be a productive asset in the corporation?

Programing is just as easy as math.
That's a bit of a crude reduction, in my opinion. If we are debating semantics, then I would argue that I'm a part-time surgeon because I removed a splinter. I would do more surgery if it wasn't for all the civil engineering I've been getting up to in the garden lately.

Sure, surgeons and engineers have to start somewhere just like programmers. But they also have well-defined gates to make sure true imposters don't get in.
They are voicing a very US view on the relationship. From my understanding, in EU there are jurisdictions that any concession extracted from employees by employer is effectively done under duress because the employer controls employees livelihood, even if temporarily. Actual reality depends on how desirable your skills are and how good the existing employment is.
Isn't this happening in programming too? Just like anyone can play Ed Sheeran on their wedding and pay one guy to handle the equipment, companies can buy (or download for free) lots of plumbing tools and frameworks made by the few star companies. It's not like the n+1th website needs professional programmers. For tons of (otherwise offline) businesses tweaking a WordPress site is more than enough.

And just like you can watch Ronaldo on TV from half way around the world instead of watching your town's crappy teams, you can also use Google and Microsoft software and services instead of hiring someone from your town. Even very custom software needs fewer and fewer people due to existing tooling.

So the bar is going higher and higher in programming too.
We had a Pascal class on a VAX in my high school in 1983, and it was fantastic. We used the classic "Oh! Pascal!" text and it was great preparation for college. There was no CS major at the liberal arts school where I ended up, but there were courses with Turbo Pascal taught by the math department before I graduated.

I gave a government example, as that's what we were talking about. Censorship just requires power, and government power is the most important and obvious kind because governments are monopolies over large numbers of people. But yes, you also, having power over your kids, can censor what they see.

But if every individual ISP refuses to host the KKK because they'd just rather not do business with bigots, then that's not censorship. It's just freedom of association.

If the 8chan guy tomorrow decided to shut down and nobody else wanted to host the pedophiles, that isn't censorship. They can buy a piece of land and make a pedophile clubhouse. They can buy a printer, make pedophilia leaflets, and distribute them in the town square. But if nobody wants to help them do that, it isn't censorship, because nobody is exercising power over the pedophiles, just over themselves.
Good piece - be interested to see others' views.
