Under that logic they should charge for upgrades. But subscriptions is not really related to upgrades. Subscription implies that your app is tied to your own backend service that you keep up and running without Apple's help.
This is technical gripe. If you showed it to people with no explanation, and asked them whose style it was, a high percentage would say "Picasso."

I don't think it's a surprise that Apple's rules chafe developers, I also don't think it's a surprise that Apple has a bias towards their customers which is why they're willing to have restrictive rules.

Ultimately it comes down to leverage, and they have plenty of it because they've aggregated a very nice demographic of users that are willing to spend money.
There's a reason why taxis in Bolivia and Peru are 90% Toyota Corolla's. It's because parts are dirt cheap, and labor is dirt cheap.

No, that's differences between models. The problem comes when people go to the dealer for cheap repairs and only go to a 3rd party for more expensive stuff. Then taking the average of repair costs from a 3rd party shop would overestimate the true average.

"My biggest frustration about articles on this topic is how much they assume we all want the same thing"

It could be clearer but the opening paragraphs talk about how nearly everything in America is suburban. There is no choice for people that want to live in a city. That's because it's illegal to build anything except suburbia.

We'd all like a choice. Developers could build suburbia for you and a city for me. But that's not legal and that is what causes the problem.

A few older areas exist from before New Deal development laws mandated suburbia in the 1930s. And places like San Francisco and New York are insanely expensive because about half of us want to live there and they haven't been allowed to build any more of it for seventy years while the population tripled.
I know the War on Drugs is unpopular in HN, and it should be clear from my comment I'm against it myself.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who wouldn't drive to a seedy neighborhood and risk arrest to secure drugs, but who would take drugs if buying them were cheap and safe. Some number of those people will end up hooked, and some number of those people will be breaking into houses (or worse) looking for stuff to sell so they can get their next hit.

Like I said, I don't think the putting a stop to that is worth what we're paying in terms of money and lost freedoms, but let's not pretend these substances were made illegal out of groundless malice. If and when we end the drug war there will be more junkies, more crack whores, more people who sit around staring at the wall instead of working and raising families, more people in the ERs from overdoses and drug-fueled mental breakdowns. It's a price I think we should pay, but it still a price.
So have I and I can say I disagree with most all the data.

Take the section "Brands most likely not to start", and you see Mercury at the top. Strange, they only have a couple of models I wonder which it is? So you look at the section "Models most likely not to start", and no Mercury model is even listed. Instead Hyundai is at the top and it wasn't even on the first chart.

They seem to really love throwing Mercury under the bus with comments about how the company closed doors (had nothing to do with reliability, people today just don't want 20mpg vehicles) and never mind the several million mercury taxi cabs. And at least with the Grand Marquis, it is nearly bullet proof. Its design has changed very little over the last 20 years and the 4.6L engine will run 400k miles as long as you change the oil. And when something does go wrong, most parts are cheap and easy to replace.

And the "Brands that cost the most to maintain" section can be deceiving. For instance Honda is at the bottom making it sound like a good deal. Yet most all Hondas (and most Asian cars) use a timing belt instead of a chain: http://yourcarangel.com/2015/06/honda-timing-belt-timing-cha... That has to be changed every 50K miles because the risk of it snapping is much higher after that. And if it does snap, you could very well be looking at needing a new top half of your motor. I refuse to buy any car that has a belt instead of a chain. The only advantage is it saves some noise and a little bit of gas. But the disadvantages far out way that.
If we are all of the same mind on this then it seems like we should start brainstorming ways to make it stop.

You have a shitty attitude.
You can set up build servers for your app on Microsoft Azure, or AWS' Windows Server instances. Microsoft produces articles on how to do Windows development on a Mac (Bootcamp, Parallels, etc.) [1]. Microsoft has shown commitment to bringing it's core offerings to other platforms. Apple has in no way done that. You literally, absolutely need an Apple computer for every step of the development process for iOS. Your comparison is not valid.

CVE-2016-3085: Apache CloudStack Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
Here is the way I see it:

Accept that free trade as a general principal is a good thing for all parties.

NAFTA and agreements modeled after it have this in common:
They throw US manufacturing jobs under the bus so that we can all have more competitive, fuel efficient, cheaper, safer cars. (Hooray).

OK, so lets say we just killed ~2,000,000 'decent paying' jobs, many of them union, and did a number on hundreds of rust belt communities. Well thats fine, everyone is better off. We are saving money here. Saving Lives.

But what about other industries? Pharmaceuticals do not support nearly the number of jobs that auto industry does. Maybe 30,000 very well paying white collar jobs, people who are upwardly mobile and educated. It is widely accepted that that industry is sapping US economy of strength. We regularly pay 10X what other countries do. Why don't we open up that market to competition too!

Oh wait, thats an industry with deep connections in Washington. They rank up there with banks as the largest political donors, spend the most on lobbyists, and so on. So count them out, they don't need competition.

OK, so the standard counter argument to this is that Pharma is a special case. We let them keep the fat on their margins because... innovation! Think of all the lives we are saving by shoveling them money! If only it were that simple.

The overwhelming majority of the increase in lifespan over the past 100 years has not been modern medicine; its been public health efforts like sewars, safety standards, and as well as a handful of fluke cures like polio vaccine, penicillin, smallpox vaccine, no thanks to the pharmaceutical industrial complex.

I could go on, the point is that too often trade deals are structured to protect the politically connected and their interests while regressively opening up high employment industries to competition. So even if you believe that free trade is a great thing (I do) it is also valid to acknowledge that it has historically been adopted in a regressive way.

Medicine is by far the most flagrant example, but plenty of others.

Another valid, if more contrived argument is this: A trade agreement is a treaty. Once a treaty is passed, congress cannot easily change it; it become the domain of the executive branch and regulatory agencies specified in the treaty. So a lot of progressive critics see it as a way of creating a court system to mediate trade disputes which is not accountable to the laws that congress makes or repeals.

On example of this is the cigarette industry, which has successfully used NAFTA courts to prevent third word countries from banning sales or making labeling requirements on the grounds that it was a violation of IP and so on.

But the bigger problem is that you have this international body making decisions that effect everyone which is not directly accountable to anyone. So in its way it is a separation of powers and taxation without representation type argument which really requires deeper reading than I can provide here.
Students and parents are demanding that their education fees generate employable graduates, not creative or intelligent ones. This trend will probably continue as long as education keeps getting more expensive.

The Clintons are always associated with DLC (Democratic Leadership Council?), a centrist organization. Remember Bill Clinton is for all intents and purposes a Southern Democrat, so he is a close to a blue dog democratic president. Hillary Clinton luckily chose to be Senator of NY (which is a cold political move, esp. when you account for political polarization), she has moved to the Left when tides are that way. Hillary was a staunch centrist during Bush presidency including being very corporate friendly (and still is). Other than abortion rights, Hillary was all over in many issues, including crime, welfare, immigration etc. Her cold ambition fizzled in front of an aspirational candidacy of Obama and now, the D party moved to Left and Bernie pulled it to more Left, so she will play along with it. Hillary Clinton is architect of TPP in its current form, at it is politically expedient for her to deny it. The Clintons were always centrist, that is why Chelsea Clinton was on the board of IAC (pretty sure, its the last name, not her talents). The whole definition of Centrism esp. in a very ideological Political world, many times looks like Opportunism, and many Centrist leaders through out the world, ascend not with Philosophical fidelity but with carefully building a Personality following.
This is exactly the kind of "Apple is infallable" logic I'm talking about. How exactly does it benefit customers to limit access to safe, cool apps that violate some arcane rule they have? If they actually wanted to do right by their customers it stands to reason that they should work with developers to come up with a more precise set of rules that still keeps their reputation intact and their customers happy so that customers have access to more varied kinds of apps. I'm an iOS customer (and not an app developer) who is irked by this, so there's at least an existence proof of people that feel the opposite.
Yeah I did stick with it and totally agree, but I'd say Mr Robot far surpasses HACF for tech based drama.
Cubism is entirely about working with the time dimension not against it though. In early Cubist works the group took still life as their choice of subject. You could set it up, hack out some geometric forms, move the easel/rearange the subject, add another layer/try reconciling forms, move the easel/rearrange again and so on until the painting was finished. The Futurists/Vorticists were trying to work at the same goal, representing motion using what had been a medium for subjects that moved fairly slowly/not at all. If you look at Picassos "The Weeping Woman" the perspective mis-match comes from moving.

I think the folly of the Cubists was to embrace the still life after the methods had been fleshed out. Most Cubist works are created from a handful of discrete images, this destroys the aspect of motion in my opinion. I've been working to capture proper motion using GoPro POV footage from various sources, rather then pausing the video I let the colours wing by and try and place them on the canvas. What I am choosing to perceive at the moment ends up represented (I avoid faces, thus I have floating forms without heads!), loose marks capture a door frame which has half of a tree-roadway. It's abstracted, but still based on a concrete sequence. The most effective are when a part of the frame is static throughout (a mounting bracket, bike, wiper blade, etc) because that imagery comes through only modified by changing light which provides a contrast against the jumble of forms and colours elsewhere.

The first step towards a Cubist film will involve multiple cameras shooting the same scene from multiple angles and recording the absolute time of the shot. [b]An algorithm that takes n images as an input and applies a deterministic transform to them (weighting certain images)[/b] trying to reconcile the overlaps, looking for prominent forms, picking/merging a colour to use, etc eventually mapping down to a single image. Assuming this could be developed the director would compose the scene from these multiple sources, perhaps giving a effect similar to [1]. The face of a lover is modified woven with images of a child and the image of meal prep on a sunny day. The conversation uses the word cheating in an innocent way and the focus snaps sharply back to the lover where scenes of cheating with the other/secretive behaviours/worry and paranoia are gently woven overtop eventually leaving the lovers voice as the only signifier of this conversation taking place.

But proper cubist imagery cannot come from a simple mapping of styles.

I'm guessing here but it could simply be that any moderated forum is effectively censored, HN included.

In my experience almost all dead comments I've seen deserve to be dead.

Down votes are more hit and miss I find it depends on the crowd that are attracted to that topic. E.g. Microsoft submits seem to be biased as pro Microsoft etc. That may be where the echo chamber effect comes in.
Shall we break it down?

Let's say Japan has the following two laws:

1. "Google cannot conduct business in Japan unless they store their data in Japan"

2. "Netflix cannot conduct business in Japan unless they allow complete access to all content"

Who does law (1) benefit, and who will be benefited if it goes away?

Same for (2).

> (Also, keep in mind that many of the "must store data locally" laws have less to do with protecting that data and more to do with making it available for attempted seizure.)

I think any government that would be interested in this, wouldn't sign the TPP agreement in the first place.
I find this difficult to believe. The demand for a vulnerability is directly proportional to its half-life. Facebook accounts are not like desktop computers that can be harvested for a botnet.

I could see a e.g. XSS worm being useful for spreading an advertisement from status to status, but there are two issues with that hypothesis: 1) Facebook is centralized, so the flaw would have maybe 24 - 48 hours of utility and 2) it's not even necessary to use a vulnerability to spread bullshit on Facebook newsfeeds, so why pay for it?

The alternative claim is that someone would pay a lot of money for a security vulnerability compromising a high value account belonging to a celebrity, journalist, politician, etc. I still find this difficult to believe, because there doesn't appear to be a historical precedent for it. Most such attacks focus on brute-forcing a password or other authentication mechanism.
Cross-compiling Windows apps from Linux using Mingw has been a thing for a very long time. Mingw itself is 18 years old. There are also options for using LLVM or compatibility layers like Midipix. So, no, Windows is not required and hasn't been for a long time.

As far as Visual Studio, it's not required, either. 3rd party compilers have always been a thing for MS operating systems. In fact, for a long time, you weren't even able to use VS to build drivers for Windows. Microsoft is also currently going out of its way to create neutral tools to enable developers to use the workflow and tools they desire. Omnisharp exists for providing intellisense to editors and IDEs. VS Code is a new, cross-platform IDE that works for both node and C#, among other languages. MonoDevelop still exists and can be used to write Windows-compatible applications.

But for Apple, you have to own a mac or, as is common, lease a mac to build and sign on. So, no, these things aren't even in the same realm of control. MS treats Windows as its primary platform for innovation. Apple treats OSX as the only platform in existence.

How is it not true? CentOS is still at version 7 with a 3.x kernel, while Ubuntu is now at version 16.04 with a 4.x kernel. Many os-level packages are not going to get updated until a new major version of RHEL comes out.
This is great from so many angles. The counterexample is solid mathematics, the paper is wonderfully to the point, and the use of computers to successfully investigate a pure math problem was innovative.

I only wish they'd described the method they used to find the counterexample.

I thought that Trump's idea (Scenario 4?) was to raise the import/tariff fee so that it would essentially cost the same regardless of where it was manufactured. Another option would be to eliminate things like NAFTA. I'm not saying these are good ideas (in fact they may be terrible), I just want to point out additional scenarios.

The hybrids are very area dependent. Like you have experienced, service shops are not common. Although those things are reliable because the whole hybrid market would have tanked if they were lemons. So they were forced to overengineer them. A win for the consumer.
like much of the Drug War storytelling, this perspective is based on fantasy. In this episode, drugs only exist in seedy neighborhoods. No charming, friendly people ever import them, make them available over craigslist, on college campuses, in white-collar workplaces.

As for groundless malice...you're half-right. It wasn't groundless, it was and still is racist in origin.
Thanks. From the reactions here, it seems that my initial guesses were correct or nearly so -- for really simple HTML, CSS, controls, no ambiguity about the layout, and nearly no JavaScript, what I'm sending will work well enough on nearly any Web browser nearly all the time. At least for now in my testing, I will assume that is so and, thus, leave testing on relatively unpopular Web browsers for much later, likely after I go live. Thanks; I just slimmed down the alpha testing!

> The DEA has claimed for years that under federal law it has the authority to access the state’s Prescription Drug Monitor Program database using only an “administrative subpoena.” These are unilaterally issued orders that do not require a showing of probable cause before a court, like what’s required to obtain a warrant.

Is it known what the smallest power is for which three summands are insufficient? Is there a smallest power? I imagine that would be hugely difficult, but for all I know it falls to the same methods as Fermat. (I'm no expert.)

Edit: I guess the answer might be "5" depending on what the paper means by "smallest" example. (smallest largest number vs smallest smallest number.)
That's a feature, not a bug. What possible benefit could there be to helping people who are hostile to their platforms develop for them? If you want to develop for Apple platforms, you do so from Apple platforms. Fair and logical.
Why are you mentioning 7 and 16.04? Those numbers mean nothing when you compare different distributions.
What apps are being made elsewhere that aren't being made for iOS? And how successful/popular are they? Saying there are plenty, without evidence, is a counterfactual that can't be proven.

There may be some apps that aren't made on the margins, but on the whole the rules make the App Store a better experience, and it's their prerogative to choose that over the marginal app.
Wouldn't it be a more fair comparison with Android? You can develop Android apps on Windows, Mac, and Linux (though in my experience the Mac is the best supported of the three).

Agreed that its a pain. I only have experience with OS X builds (not for cocoa apps, but for a CLI tool) in TravisCI, but I can tell you that their build box offerings are much weaker than what you can get for Linux (presumably because of the cost).
