20 years is a long time. What if virtual reality becomes the preferred entertainment method ? What if something other than phones becomes the new status symbol ? What if android manages to create an android status symbol phone or a unique android experiences ? What if due to some apps iMessage loses some of it's power ? what if itunes loses some of it's power ?

With tremendous respect to Linus, this isn't a fair characterization of the "security community", whatever that means. There are both practitioners and vendors who take the view that security should enable business, not block it; there are groups of experts who run contrary to this, and believe in a reductive and restrictive approach to everything. The continuum of thought around what it means to be secure, especially when dealing with organizational security, seems to be shifting towards the former, rather than the latter.

As far as Linus' statements go, saying that security is imperfect by design isn't a new take on it, and I'm in complete agreement with you that it needs to be something that regular users can benefit from.

I feel terrible that my sausagy American fingers accidentally downvoted you because you make an excellent point. I fear that by stripping people of their agency when it comes to things they've already purchased implies that companies not only still own things you buy, but by extension, they own you. They own your priorities for use, your necessity for repair, and your creativity for adaptation. It's like if it were illegal to use anything but Home Depot(TM) nails on Home Depot(TM) planks, or auto shops that have to kick back to Ford or GM or else they couldn't touch your car.

I can't see this principle as anything but incumbent crony capitalism and a completely unnecessary drag on the economy.
Being a one-trick pony can definitely be worrying. But are other companies so different? 92% of Google's revenues come from ads against 63% of Apple's revenues coming from the iPhone.

I think saying that Apple is playing catchup on innovation needs to be flushed out, but you're right that the possibility for serious trouble is slim, but not non-existent. However, is the possibility for serious trouble greater than, say, for Google? Google is facing European regulators unhappy about a single firm controlling 90% of the searches. The iPhone and OS X are going to have ad-blocking with iOS 9 and OS X 10.11. Think of all those iPhone users now blocking ads. The iPhone is 44% of the market in the US.

All companies face threats to their future earnings. Walmart faces Amazon and potential wage increases. Apple faces consumers deciding they don't need a new iPhone. Google faces regulatory unhappiness about monopolising information access combined with loads of iPhone users turning on ad-blocking. Heck, Google faces the potential of Apple switching to Bing as the default for the iPhone and drawing a lot of traffic away from Google (and iPhone users tend to punch above their weight in terms of dollars spent and time on device compared to Android users). Microsoft faces everyone moving to mobile and Windows and Office becoming relics of the past. UPS and FedEx face the prospect of Amazon and others using automated delivery methods. The auto-industry could be facing self-driving cars from new entrants including Apple and Google while self-driving technology poses a threat to their very existence as an independent industry. Heck, with self-driving cars, it's simple for anyone with a bit of capital to create a viable Uber competitor in a way that is extremely difficult when recruiting human drivers - Uber could be disrupted before it even becomes profitable. The point being that companies face a bunch of threats to their long-term profitability because of a lack of diversification.

It would be great to see Apple more diversified, but I think your suggestion of "slim, [but] not nonexistent" is the right attitude. It would be great if Apple were more diversified, but it would be great if a lot of companies had easy, public answers to how they would deal with a major disruption to their main revenue source. I'm sure Apple is thinking about this a lot.
Yes, if people say that esound was already outdated by 2003, then by now it should be very much dead. But I was more focused on completing this project than on researching sound APIs, thus I simply took whatever Xoscope guys used.

After all, we simply want to read voltage level from simple input - why should we need to invent new library for it every 3 years?

It never reliably functioned as a daemon for me. It would just stop checking for messages randomly after an hour or two. And if you give up on it being a daemon, then it's horrifically slow because it's doing full syncs all the time.

I ended up having a script running out of cron that would kill and restart the daemon process every 30 minutes so that I could get reasonably fast incrememntal updates but still have it continue to work properly.

And then it started losing track of what the server looks like. If you delete a label on the Gmail side, then of course offlineimap wants to recreate it. For a little while, it was tolerable to stop offlineimap, delete all the local metadata for a folder, go delete the folder from Gmail, and then restart offlineimap, but eventually that stopped working too, and it was recreating deleted folders on the server that I never managed to find a reason for.

isync just worked exactly how I wanted to after spending a bit of time setting it up, and it's been pretty solid since then.
How much do you know about type theory?

If you know type theory then the gist of HoTT can be summarized as follows:

HoTT is a dependent type theory where you have a user defined equality for each user defined type (this is what HITs, higher inductive types, are). This is a generalization of quotient types and lets you do things like integers modulo k by defining that an integer n mod k == (n+k) mod k. It also has a better equality for functions (two functions are equal if they return the same result for each input), and types (two types are equal if there is a bijection between them).

Title misleads with "dependence". The case is made that iPhone sales contribute a disproportionate and increasing share of revenue, but not Apple's dependence upon it.

Nobody is worried about Apple's survival. Barring doomsday scenarios, Apple looks set to be a very large, very profitable company for the foreseeable future. Just like Microsoft. They are worried about Apple's growth prospects. Once the Chinese markets are saturated, where next? And if Apple does not innovate, they could end up losing market-share to competitors when they inevitably catch up. Once that point is reached, Apple's only option is too undercut them on price (and with huge cash reserves and market clout, Apple is in a much better place to do this). But this means reduced margins, and shrinking profits (although they may stabilise to very respectable level). Apple has so far avoided this by staying ahead of the competition through innovation, entering new markets with sub-par competition like they did with the iPod, iPhone or creating entirely new ones like they did with iPad and iTunes. Before you say that Apple didn't invent the tablet, the digital music marketplace, or the mobile software marketplace - None of that matters - in real money terms, Apple as good as did.

But what new markets are there for Apple to enter? People think the electric car market is a right fit for Apple. The article says that the global premium car market as a whole is currently only worth 220 billion dollars per annum ( don't know whether this includes the premium compact market as well ) which is not much when considering the fact that iPhone's sale for previous 12 months was 100 billion. And the automobile market is highly competitive with plenty of incumbents with over 100 years of experience. Perhaps Apple could transform the business model of the market to make it much bigger, But like with the smartwatch, Apple is possibly late to the game, with Tesla, Google, Uber, all working frantically to do the same (each with their own vision and approach). In my personal opinion, Apple still has plenty of room to enter and exploit the market.

In conclusion, investors are worried whether Apple's party of year-over-year growth in revenue and profits which it has sustained over the last decade is finally over.

I mentioned 3 things that might explain the price difference in my comment, not just economies of scale. I should have been clearer

1. Economies of scale

2. Difference in quality of the display

3. Booking factory capacity in advance (there's likely a huge opportunity cost to the manufacturer)

> They make it easy to accidentally overdraw and then charge you a massive fee. Don't pay the fee in time and you get another one because the fee kept you in overdraft.

France used to be famous for that. When I was a kid (before internet to check you account), there were TV programmes about people having to pay tens of thousands of French Francs because they forgot about an account and the account charge put them a few francs in negative balance and it snowballed quickly over a few years. Not quite sure how it is today in France.

> You need a letter from your employer so you can't open an account if you're unemployed. Even with that, you have to wait a couple of weeks for an appointment to talk to somebody before they open your account.

I had to go through that to open an account in Luxembourg. Never could open an account in Spain for that reason but you don't really need one if you have an EUR account somewhere else in the EU. Spain has a wonderful collection of massive charges on everything you would think is free like getting money out of the cash machine, transferring money electronically or even receiving money electronically.

At least in the UK, you can get a free account. Used to be not so easy in Belgium (Postoffice offered a limited free banking, so that was the excuse for all the other banks for charging) and they also had their own set of shenanigans.

I have noticed things getting better with internet banking. However, some things have gotten much worse. Loan and Mortgage are no longer underwritten by the bank itself, so it does not matter if you know your banker and have been banking 20 years with the same bank - you will need to go through the exact same process as a guy from the street - worse, instead of just using your credit score as other bank would, they will use those 20 years history to give you a worse rate if they can.

I generally agree with you (I use a text-based mua myself), but your specific example isn't great. Gmail -- probably rather predictably -- does search as well as or better than anyone in the world, including your local installation of mu. In Gmail specifically, it's instant.
As you and chii correctly point out, the NYT article is about resale. I believe however that amelius, with the statement "Patent Law shouldn't block any sale", meant to broaden the topic to include first sale. My comment should be viewed as commenting on that change of topic.

If amelius only meant to include re-selling equipment acquired under a valid patent license, then the phrase "It should at most lead to reasonable financial compensation of the inventors" makes no sense. Were patent rights to follow first-sale doctrine, the patent holder would receive no financial compensation for resale. Which, for the record, is fine with me.

I was remiss in not making that clear in my scenario.

Per this 2011 article (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/28/business/media/researching...), Kleenex has a 47.1% share of the facial tissue market. I assume these numbers reflect the U.S. (rather than global) facial tissue market.

Per this recent article (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/03/iphone-us-market-share-c...), Apple has a 44.2% share of the U.S. smartphone market.

Although the text of the article doesn't say it explicitly, the title of this article effectively screams "Apple isn't well diversified! Its making too much money on one thing!" I really don't see the sky falling here by any means. Barring a seismic shift in the smartphone market, Apple will continue to dominate the smartphone market, making obscene amounts of money; they will probably also continue to innovate. And Kleenex will continue to dominate the facial tissue market.
Why don't third parties step in to make parts? If the vendor's repair service is so overpriced, the market should respond by creating competing parts manufacturers + repair services.

It seems to me that when a patent covers a product that is sold, the sale implies a license on that patent for that product. The license is sold along with the product. So if the über-toaster is resold, the patent license is sold along with it, regardless of the number of intermediate steps.

If that's not how the law works, it's how it should work. Actually scratch that, the way it should work is to not have patents at all, since they lost their net benefit to society a long time ago (if they ever had it), but that's a whole other can of worms.
The normal notion of a patent is that the patent covers the creation of something, but not its use. A patent is supposed to be instructions or the specifications for the creation of some object. If you are not creating the object, you are not using the patent. Otherwise, you would need to sign a contract for buying a hammer (assuming it was patented) outlining the allowed uses.
Your point sounds reasonable, but there's a good reason to block first sale.

Suppose I run a firm that sells custom men's clothing, that has a patent to, say, change color and temperature at the wearer's preference. Each outfit has to be personally tailored by a professional designated by our company.

Now, perhaps a high-end men's clothing retailer begins selling my clothing and tailors it in-house. The quality is comparable and they compensate my company. So far so good, right?

Well, what if quality isnt comparable? What if the stitching was improperly done and felt too tight, or unraveled over time? Even if the customer knew that the "re"-seller wasn't an official associate, the damage to our brand would already be done.

And that's why first sale should be at the discretion of the patent holder.

It doesn't work for me! When I put any city in (US or UK) the JS console shows "GET http://bandsoftheweek.com/location-then-events?location-quer... 500 (Server Error)"

I'm curious where you get your data from? I played around with a website for finding club nights a few years ago - the best source of data I could find was scraping Facebook. Unfortunately it was a bit unreliable.

The biggest problem with trying to do this in an automated fashion is sorting out the crap from the actual gigs and events. It's easy to miss smaller things if you just use a single major API. Bandsintown seem fairly good at it, but have a pretty horrible interface.

You are very right with this. I've bought plenty of both. What it comes down to is that if you just want one to make a cool project or experiment with, buy the official one. The extra $ is worth it and then some on saved hassle. If you need to rig up half a dozen, or its something you want to build over and over, it starts to become worth it deal with the hassle of learning the quirks of the chinese parts.
From what I can see this uses the same public/private key for everyone using the service. So it would be easy to MITM any HTTPS connection using this if you're a network admin or hostile WiFi etc.

I don't think this is a problem for the intended audience - developers and test sites.

But there should perhaps be a clear warning somewhere about not using this in production.

EDIT: Turns out this is actually mentioned on the FAQ page of https://sslip.io/
This is an appealing looking website but sadly it doesn't work for me. I'm running Firefox on OS X.

I entered Manchester, UK from 09/09/2015 to 10/01/2015. When I clicked `Show me concerts` it displays `Loading...` then that disappears. No error message or information on why nothing has been shown.

At this point I hazarded a guess that your data sources are US only, so I tried New York City. Again, this did not work.

I then looked at what was going on, and your server is returning a 500 when making the GET request to http://bandsoftheweek.com/location-then-events?location-quer...

I think you should handle 500 responses better.
Not a useful comparison. The facial tissue market isn't subject to ongoing massive disruption by rapidly changing technologies. The smartphone market is.

Imagine that its 1984 and you've just used the same argument, substituting 'IBM' for 'Kleenex'...

Not so sure. Apple's recent launches have all been clumsy failures. Maps was a disaster, iCloud is no one's darling, Music looks like a dud, Watch isn't even a hobby, and the core line is trapped in a cycle of thinner/lighter/goldier make-overs.

Opportunities have been missed. Just one example: Apple could have owned the DIY video content market, as they did with audio podcasts and apps, with all the synergies for hardware and software sales and training that would have created.

Instead they've handed it to Google/YouTube.

Apple is practically indestructible as a company at the moment, but I can't see the momentum continuing ten years from now without something new and amazing escaping from Cupertino - maybe like Amazon's Echo, but even better.

Jobs succeeded because he could always be persuaded to leave a space for users to add content. Podcasts did that, so did apps - and both changed the industry.

Cook seems more like a top-down kind of a guy, and less focussed on users. That's not a good thing at all, IMO.

But Kleenex is one of many brands owned by Kimberly-Clark, the world could stop buying facial tissues tomorrow and the parent would probably survive.

I guess the question for investors is is could Apple loose market share in the future in the same way Blackberry or Nokia did in recent history?
Well this article says at the top "In simple terms, electronic trading brought down costs, while High Frequency Trading brought down ethics."

...but it doesn't really go on to explain that. It's just a fairly dry bullet pointed definition of different types of High Frequency Trading.

It's a shame it doesn't explain, because high frequency trading is evil, and a really depressing waste of talent.
