Yeah, the same sorta utility it has to demonstrate that it is possible for anyone to create a fire in any publicly accessible location in London, for instance in some very valuable historic building. (No, I am not advocating you do so.) I'm just making the point that you didn't get my point. They don't care about how feasible or trivial something is as long as they can ban the usage of it.

Lowercase free is not the same as uppeprcase Free. Xcode is freeware (as in no cost) but it has a restrictive 14 page license attached to it that you must agree to to use it.
https://www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/xcode.pdf

You can only allow third parties to install your app on their devices for testing if you have written approval from Apple.

You can only use a limited number of devices that you/your company own for testing.

Your license to use Xcode, the SDKs, and release software for iOS can be revoked at any time: "Apple reserves the right to revoke, disable or suspend any Provisioning Profiles or any access to the device deployment and provisioning features of the Apple Software and Services at any time, in its sole discretion. By way of example, Apple may do this if Apple has reason to believe that Apple IDs were fraudulently obtained, that an unreasonable number of devices have been entered into the Apple Software, and/or that the Services are being used in a fraudulent, suspicious, or improper manner."
Makes sense to reduce disk accesses but maybe there are fixed data structures allocated? Since otherwise they should advice a given percentage of memory compared to dataset size instead of a fixed amount.

no different than developing different strains of tomatoes for size and color

I think it would be an oversimplification to compare a vegetable (OK, technically a fruit) to a drug with nearly 500 known compounds with varying effects depending on levels in the plant and physiology of the individual ingesting the compounds.

Producers currently aim for ball-park effects, appearance etc. However it would require a mix of medical testing at the individual (person) level and a map of effects with varying levels of compounds to achieve what I suggested. I'm not sure if you've ever tried a variety of strains but I can say they produce very different effects on mood and mind. It's inconsistent and there's no one kind of high. It's not like alcohol.

Ignoring the medical aspects and instead looking at the market - coffee and tea are a great example. There's the stuff that you can buy cheaply which you'll find in the kitchen of small businesses or grandma's cupboard and there's the gourmet stuff that you'll find at trendy cafes and restaurants. To condense my point - some producers will race to the bottom, others will play in the connoisseur market where good margins can be made. But there's also a tonne of work to be done in the medical realm. This is just the beginning.

This article is always worth reading when bootstrapping vs taking funding comes up:

http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000056.html
Other than equity, there are a number of choices there. One is working conditions: you have a lot more freedom to grant people unusual working conditions if you answer to nobody. Another is compensation. Not only could you grant more equity, you can also use contractors or part-timers more freely, or otherwise mess around in ways that VCs tend to frown on.

VCs are very optimized for "go big or go home." It's nice to not have that pressure early on, for the founders and the other employees.

It's interesting how different the feel is at different companies -- VC-backed vs private-equity-backed vs public. Bootstrapped is potentially a different feel, and a better match for some people.

Does it work out that way in practice? No clue. Never worked for one of these, though I've worked for VC-backed, private-backed and public.
> I thought they were distributing the source for you to compile yourself.

This is what they should have done. Instead, they chose to distribute a binary of their proprietary (patent pending [0]), closed source [1] product.

Not only am I not surprised that Apple shut them down the very next day, but I'm also having trouble feeling any sympathy for their cause.

Personally, I grow one or two plants on my balcony in the summer. It costs me about nothing and produces more weed than I need (being an occasional consumer).

Anybody with a garden can easily grow a lot of weed. I wonder if individual growing could be enough to cover most regular users (following a cannabis social club model).

> I have no idea what motivates the inclusion of functionality that manipulates the clipboard in the browser.

I'm not sure, but I expect that it's the same sort of thing that motivates the inclusion of the ability to enable page content obfuscation schemes that -say- scramble a page's plaintext, but use CSS styles and JS voodoo to make it appear like the page contains only comprehensible text.

I expect that -when using such a scheme-, you'd need to be able to modify what is being tossed on to the clipboard, as -I expect that- the inbuilt selection tool will pick up your garbage data as well as the intended text. [0]

Edit: To be a little more practical, you could (for instance) use the ability to modify the contents of a clipboard to -say- create custom representations of your web application data formats and allow relatively easy transfer between instances of the software.

[0] Yes, I do recognize that allowing copy and paste kinda defeats the purpose of this scheme, but the scheme is something that I've seen in the wild.
This reminds me a little of [edge|base|corner] cases in programming. It's easy to handle normal parameters. But if you're at or beyond the limits of expected parameters, then what? If you ignore [edge|base|corner] cases, you run the risk of enacting a bad law.

So if a government wishes to restrict encryption, does that mean criminalizing only the distribution of commercial products with strong crypto? Or knowing possession of them? How about if you distribute free software? Possess free software? How about distributing an algorithm that's printed out? On a t-shirt? Set to music? In a sonnet? On a blackboard in a math lecture?

A crypto-ban proposal discussed in the U.S. Congress stopped short at targeting possession, but did target "import[ing]," which presumably would include downloading from an offshore site:

"It shall be unlawful for any person to manufacture for distribution, distribute, or import encryption products intended for sale or use in the United States..." http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/cpquery/T?&report=hr108p4&dbna...

They frequently use methods where you have to double-click on an email attachment. Most people consider cut-and-paste from a web site to be safer than that.

Also, non-TLS web sites can potentially be hijacked in flight, so this could happen even if the site in question wasn't directly cooperating.

I think you're correct. They were distributing an iOS app outside of the approved channels, which is explicitly called out near the very top of the Apple Developer License Program agreement:

Applications developed under this Agreement for iOS Products, Apple Watch, or Apple TV can be
distributed in four ways: (1) through the App Store, if selected by Apple, (2) through the B2B
Program area of the App Store, if selected by Apple, (3) on a limited basis for use on Registered
Devices (as defined below), and (4) for beta testing through TestFlight.
I think he understands it's possible to ban it, it just won't work for the cases that matter.

There's a deeper problem with banning encryption of any form (e.g. "strong encryption") that an encrypted file can be made indistinguishable from random data. If the police or any prosecutor will never be able to tell that a chunk of that was strongly encrypted (technically feasible), the law will never work.

And then there's the sheer absurdity of the idea, which the comparison banishing starting fires doesn't capture.
Special case of the first

I don't doubt that, nor do I disagree they are (or the users sideloading) are violating some agreement. I'm saying, who cares? Jailbreaking and installing f.lux the old way is just as much of a TOS violation and that never stopped them before.
repost from yesterday's thread

We can only hope that control of blue light emissions will be natively implemented by all phone and tablet manufacturers, to protect the future health of billions of humans. Here are some articles about the impact of blue light on eyes and sleep.

http://thenextweb.com/lifehacks/2014/04/23/7-things-can-righ..., "Blue light is able to pass through what is called the retinohypothalamic tract, or pathway. This pathway is responsible for regulating our circadian rhythm and a number of other biological and behavioral processes."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2831986/, "Hastings and Sweeney’s paper, published in the December 1958 Biological Bulletin, gathered dust for decades. No one thought these findings might hold any relevance for humans, whose circadian rhythms were then widely believed to be relatively insensitive to light. But scientific discoveries in the past two decades have changed all that."

https://theconversation.com/a-dark-night-is-good-for-your-he..., "In the last decade or two it has become clear that the genes which control the endogenous circadian rhythm (the “clock genes”) also control a large part of our entire genome including genes for metabolism (how we process the food we eat), DNA damage response (how we are protected from toxic chemicals and radiation), and cell cycle regulation and hormone production (how our cells and tissues grow)."

There is room lighting with low-blue content, e.g. the G.E. Align PM bulb, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PLR3M0M & https://gigaom.com/2014/09/01/what-is-the-blue-light-from-ou..., "It remains unclear whether our screens themselves will soon emit less blue light — Hansler is pessimistic because he says that changing the amount of blue light will be like admitting that the screens are causing health problems, and lawsuits could ensue."
Right, but the goal isn't to make a strong or useful encryption tool. The goal is to show that cryptography is, at it's core, rather simple. It's simple enough that we can cram "real" symmetric encryption into the size of a tweet.

It's like building an electric motor out of some scrap wire and some fridge magnets - the motor isn't really useful for anything, but it teaches the basic idea in a way that anybody can appreciate. A useful motor would have bearings, a commutator, multiple windings, an iron core, etc., but adding all that stuff just obscures the basics. Criticizing a school-kid's motor for being weak and inefficient is completely missing the point.

This program isn't supposed to be useful. It's supposed to prove a point.
All this passionate advocacy, and they won't even mention that this is allowed on Android (with a few apps doing it distributed through the Play Store) - or build an Android app themselves? I get that people are iOS fans, but there seems like a bit of Stockholm syndrome here.
> The Challenger failed because, while the O-Rings were within tolerances, they shouldn't have been varying at all. So because they were varying unexpectedly, they inevitably failed.

That's not entirely correct. The idea that "the o-rings were within tolerance" isn't right. There is effectively no tolerance on the o-ring, either it's very, very nearly perfect or there's something wrong with your design, just like the bridge. The o-rings should be getting immeasurably small amounts of wear so the idea that they were "only" burning up 1/3 is a huge red flag. Any measurable wear on them is a problem, so 1/3 of them being gone means they were perhaps 30 or 300 times over tolerance.

Thanks! Several people have told me about this too. I will try it.
Way more people work in "the production, transport and prep of food", if the linkages between production processes are considered. Whereas in the 19th century a plow and a mule was perhaps all that was needed, and very little was needed beyond the services of the farmer's family and the eventual services of a blacksmith or a farrier, a current tractor is composed of myriad of parts, perhaps shipped by different places, produced by different machinery, all of which are also composed of many parts and so on. Agricultural firms also require legal services in order to deal with regulations and possible litigation, financial services in order to hedge against price changes, etc.

So how many people do business in foodstuffs? All of them, maybe.

We are a real and unique browser. Not a Safari skin.

There is no such thing as a Safari skin. Instead we use a low level component called the WKWebView, which is a bare-bones minimal API to 'show web pages'. On top of that we have built a browser.

This is exactly what Apple has done with Safari.

The only common component between Firefox and Safari is the WKWebView. Everything on top of that, like the UI, bookmark management, history, sync is unique and implement in different ways by each browser.

Regarding JIT .. the WKWebView exposes the same fast JIT as Safari uses. Run a benchmark. We are as fast as Safari or any other app that uses the WKWebView underneath.
> It would provide better conceptual separation and to allow multiple bill titles

Correct, and (IANAP) when laws get looked at at a later time, it's easier to understand what's in them. Like how single responsibility principle can make code audits easier.

Also if agreements need to be renewed, you have more composable pieces of law.

I am not a lawyer or politician, so all of this is probably unfeasible for other reasons.

I was speaking of the "I am going riding now" case. In Rome can you leave your bike outside overnight? In SF you can't, so people store bikes and helmets indoors. In which case, I'd submit that storing them together is a pretty good idea.

Helmet theft might be a problem here in the "I am already out riding" case. Where I worry about that here, I clip my bike to my bag, so again it's not a "I forgot my helmet" problem.

Yes.

Also there is ZERO data sharing between Firefox and Safari. Both apps run sandboxed and cannot see eachothers data.

For me, it doesn't. Or more precisely, it helps with anxiety, but at the same time I'm not able to do anything productive, so it's not a therapeutic option.

On the other hand, benzodiazepines (such as Xanax) have helped me a lot occasionally. For instance, I couldn't work properly a few days before a stressful event because I was too anxious (typically, before giving a talk).

I'm convinced that therapeutic cannabis is for the most part an excuse for legalization and there are better alternatives drugs with less side effects for most of the conditions it is advertised for.

The only reason I can think of to live in the burbs, is that there can be better public schools, but if you are not raising a family, any argument you can give, I can give you a logical reason why living in a city is better.

Regardless of what you spend your money on, or chose to budget, living in a central location without needing a car, close to all amenities and services, is better, plain and simple. I don't see how that is not objective, unless you prefer living far removed from everything and wasting time out of your day traveling in a car, which statically the more time you spend driving the more likely you will die or be injured in a accident.
