Comedy gold! Mind-boggling! I know employers can be idiotic, I know managers can go on power trips, but this time the interns (not even full-time employees) take the cake. Firing may seem harsh until you look at it from from the manager's POV. You have a bunch of INTERNS coming in, banding up, and trying to essentially coerce the manager into changing a company policy involving dress norms. Not only is dress code not a big issue for a full-time employee (frankly it simplifies getting dressed in the morning), but a couple of interns that will be gone in a couple of months and thus have no shared fate with the company and its employees think they can come in and stage a campus rally to accommodate some petty inconvenience? What utter arrogance! How self-absorbed! How socially challenged! What do you imagine the situation would look like if the manager hadn't fired them after pulling a stunt like that? The interns have already created an awkward situation. Instead of focusing on important things entailed by the purpose of the internship, they decided to start a confrontation over dress code at a company they have no full-time employment at. Asking whether they can wear X for reason Y is acceptable in my mind, but the petition was utterly ridiculous. They pretty much forced the manager's hand by communicating to the manager that they weren't serious about their internship and were going to waste the company's time with frivolous crap. Manager 1, immature interns 0. Perhaps they will eventually learn from this experience, though the stubborn, overconfident tone of the article suggests that it may take some time for the wisdom to sink in. They seem either unwilling to see their error or unable.
Honestly could be. Since Apple is both sides they could decide to find the cost between divisions in such a way that they were still paying the 30% fee. It just happens that 30% goes to them.

That wouldn't prove either way whether Apple is being mean to Spotify. Kind of a moot point.
Wait, wait. I'll take this one.

No. It cannot.

And again here's why Google needs to force manufacturer's (and carriers) to agree to required updates to the latest Android OS on a regular and ongoing basis, insofar as their hardware is not end-of-life.
I imagine it will it some point, but you're right right now that's only available for Apple. That means the question is: is the lack of Siri integration a big enough hindrance that it should be considered unlawful interference with competition?

I'm not sure why you consider credit derivatives to be positive feedback mechanisms. They damp the losses the system otherwise suffers. The point of having the central bank play the role of CDS-issuer is that (a) a central bank alone has an infinite well of capital to draw on to sop up those losses, and (b) it ends up sopping up those losses anyway. So you might as well make the beneficiaries of the central bank's inevitable largesse pay for it, rather than pretending like it won't happen and then doling out get-out-of-bankruptcy-free cards when it does happen. Setting up a market for credit insurance that cannot fail would also help to reveal credit risks in a way that otherwise cannot be done.

On Minsky—his thesis is that financial crises are inevitable. I've implied the same thing. Minsky proposed an antidote that relies on fiscal policy, which is politically determined and therefore unreliable (as we learned in the aftermath of the last crisis); I've proposed one that relies on what is essentially monetary policy wrapped in an automatic market mechanism.

After spending multiple years having agreed to the original deal.

In fact Apple IMPROVED the deal this year when they said that for people who have been a subscriber for over year they'll cut their fee to 15%. I believe it may even have been applied slightly retroactively.

Spotify's terms with Apple haven't gotten any worse, they've gotten slightly better. But NOW they're loudly complaining. It's not like iOS has become more of a monopoly in the last five years, I'd argue the opposite.
I developed and maintain Arxiv Sanity Preserver (http://www.arxiv-sanity.com/), one of the Arxiv overlays the article mentions. I built it to try address some of the pains that the "raw" arXiv introduces, such as being flooded by paper submissions without any support or tools for sifting through them.

I'm torn on how Arxiv should proceed in becoming more complex. I support what seems to be the cited poll consensus ("The message was more or less ‘stay focused on the basic dissemination task, and don’t get distracted by getting overextended or going commercial’") and I think the simplicity/rawness of arXiv was partly what made it succeed, but there is also a clear value proposition offered by more advanced search/filter/recommendation tools like Arxiv Sanity Preserver. It's not clear to me to what extent arXiv should strive to develop these kinds of features internally.

Whether they go a simple or more complex route, I really hope that they keep their API open and allow 3rd party developers such as myself to explore new ways of making the arXiv repository useful to researchers. Somewhat disappointedly, the arXiv poll they ran did not include any mentions of their API, which in my opinion are a critical, overlooked and somehow undervalued. For example, today their rate limits are very aggressive and make it tricky to pull down publication metadata for Arxiv Sanity Preserver, even when this undoubtedly costs minimal bandwidth. In the future, I'm concerned they will discontinue the API altogether and prevent similar 3rd party overlays from being built.
Yeah, those darn "budget hawks." They only let the feds borrow and spend $439,000,000,000 last year. That isn't even half a trillion! Just awful. If only we could chase off these budget hawks and borrow as many trillions as we need.

Dear advertisers: It’s time to stop supporting BuzzFeed Video
of course it is, most of lifehacker is composed of that kind of "journalism". That said it can still be an honest evaluation.

My particular issue with 'multi-homing' monitors is that they don't stay homed. Specifically on my setup I've got a windows machine plugged into the DVI port of one of my monitors, when Linux blanks the displays, windows decides it is time to shine and comes on. Waking up Linux only lets one monitor switch on, the other stays on the windows host.

So far no monitors I've found have a "port preference" setting where if there is signal on port A always display it over port B or port C. I guess what I'm hoping for is more KVM capability in the monitors.

That said, since every monitor seems to have USB ports anyway, actually making them KVM like where I could switch the port they were using based on a keystroke and they would switch both video and USB to that set of connectors? That would be pretty awesome.
The Grey Market Hypothesis
I'm sceptical about this, for a couple of first-year-physics reasons.

1. Matter is conserved. Before carbon can be farted out of a cow, it has to get in to the cow from somewhere else. I expect most of it was in the atmosphere a year beforehand, then got absorbed by pasture grass and eaten. So this year's farts will end up in next year's cows, and aren't like fossil fuel emissions.

2. Methane decays to carbon dioxide in a decade or two, so today's methane emissions are not really a worse problem than today's carbon dioxide emissions.
Stuck Waiting at Airport Security? Blame This Company and TSA
The answer is no. Not every user who uses some subscription thing on iOS has to pay Apple 30% cut.

The deciding factor is whether or not Apple handles the subscription and billing. If you sign up through the app (and therefore the iTunes Store), and Apple does the billing, you have to pay the cut.

If you sign up for a dropcam subscription OUTSIDE the App Store and then log into the app there is no cut.

Example: I subscribe to both Hulu, Netflix, Comcast, and a few other things. I pay all of them directly. They all have free apps. Apple gets exactly 0% of my bills to them because I didn't sign up in the app.

I get that in-app sign-up is INCREDIBLY convenient. But the fee does not apply regardless of where the subscription was purchased, which is what I read OP's question to be.

The article does not confirm Mr. Rossmann is facing legal action by Apple, and despite the word 'alludes' in the headline, the article itself is extremely disingenuous:

"Apple isn't happy about it."

"[I]t's clear that Louis has been threatened by Apple"

"Apple appears to not only want his YouTube channel removed, but his business terminated."

"Apple is successful, free speech will have lost yet another major battle"

None of these statements are supported by either Mr Rossmann or Apple; in the relevant video, Mr Rossmann does not even mention Apple.

This is all idle speculation. Even HN was caught up in the Apple blaming, despite a complete lack of supporting evidence: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12016253
My understanding is that you're allowed to sell things however you want, but inside the app you have to use Apple's purchase methods. You can't use your own, and you can't put directions in the app to go to a website or something else to purchase content. So in the app you have to do what Amazon does and never show it by button or a "how to buy" button.

And just for extra clarity, Apples policies only apply to digital goods. If you buy a real world service or physical item through an app Apple does not take a cut, but they also don't handle the payment. That's why Amazon doesn't have to pay Apple 30% when you buy a new TV from them.

How much that's exempt from FOIA is so high minded? It is 99.999% ass-coverage through secrecy and you know it.
You're allowed to charge a higher price on the App Store than you do outside of it (to make up for the fee), Spotify did that for years. But you can't point that out inside the app.
People who are interested in security would be verifying the pgp signature on the tarball. (What's that? It's unsigned?)
You're misrepresenting what the GP post said and being obnoxious about it.

Given that there are different regulatory regimens, locking down hardware to a particular locale may be inappropriate. For example, Channel 14 is fine in Japan and 13 in the EU but not the US. Restricting the whole world to 11 channels to comply with US law would be silly.
A Plea for Innocence – The Letter That Freed Ray Jennings [pdf]
True. Or Spotify could choose to charge something else, say 10% more, so that on average it worked out to be roughly even for users based on how often they unsubscribe. Where they could charge 15% and eat the other 15% until the subscriber has been around for a year.
Agreed. I'm all for repairing devices, but this really seems like an attention grab, at least until there is any actual evidence otherwise.

The problem with "newish" features like capabilities, file attributes, SElinux is they haven't been integrated into the traditional nix utilities and almost nobody knows what is going on with them. A few examples of the poor integration:

File attributes override the nix permissions such that you can set the immutable flag on a file and even root can't modify it. `chattr +i FILENAME && rm FILENAME`

On distros that use capabilities copying a file doesn't copy capabilities by default. ie copy the ping program and it wont work unless you're root.

When SElinux blocks an action the error message is almost always wrong. ie A program tries to make a TCP connection which it doesn't have permission for. Instead of an error message like "SElinux violation" you get an error like "No route to host". To debug you need to look at the SElinux audit.log and try to match up timestamps of violations to when your program died.
"It's dead if you use all these "free" services, "free" mobile os and services and "free" apps like Chrome browser, provided by Google,Facebook and co. "

Don't forget about all of your packets being sniffed at every hop as they go through all those telco routers you pay to use. Dead there to unless you use tor too, but then you just get flagged for using tor.
The problem with your analogy is that in that situation Apple would be doing all the customer billing, billing support, collections, etc. It's not that Apple made the DVD player, the store also outsourced a large chunk of their finance department to Apple. And that's what they're paying for.

Maybe they're paying too much, but they're getting more than just the ability to appear on Apple DVD players.
Should Model Architecture Reflect Linguistic Structure? [video]
It does cost them less for a one time purchase because they don't have to manage the entire subscription infrastructure.

Apple stance is pretty simple, whenever they collect money they collect 30% (ignoring the discount for subscriptions over when you're). Whether that's a one time charge, where they collect money for a subscription every month, they charged a fee.

I didn't really mean the technology itself, more the logistics of actually making it work at scale.

Something like an embedded wire in the centerline of each lane that could be followed by a simple metal detector seems a lot simpler.
I don't think anyone is arguing that the 30% is the actual cost to Apple, there's no question there's tons of profit baked in there. But Apple is providing services for that 30% such as download hosting, billing, collections, subscription management, etc.

This site is not a vessel to spew rage into, so please don't. It disrespects everyone else (manager or not) to use it that way.

Obviously there's quite a spectrum—nearly every possibility that exists—between not doing that and becoming a sycophant, so I'm pretty sure you're ok there.
They're not charging at for hosting the assets, that's why there's no fee for free apps. They only get that fee because you're using their payment infrastructure.

If someone signs up for a subscription outside the app (like I have for Netflix) then someone can use that subscription on an iOS device in the company doesn't have to pay apple a a dime.
The articles and comments indicate that his posting of schematics appears to be the concern, not his ranting about Apple or his repairing of said devices.

As a repair shop owner, this is some serious BS. After watching several hours of videos on YouTube, including some of Louis's, we invested in some industrial equipment that fixes seriously water-damaged iPhones, and I invested some time in learning the whole process.

This week alone, since we got the equipment, I've managed to fully restore 3 iPhones that wouldn't even turn on because they had been dunked in water. These tutorials, along with the equipment and our own knowledge gained from thousands of phones we've repaired, will help us make our customers happy every week.

Apple Store won't even touch water-damaged phones--they just tell you to buy a new one (or sell you an "in-kind replacement.") Now, with this knowledge, we're able to fix 70-80% of the water damaged phones we get in, and usually for about 1/3 the cost of buying a new one.

People keep their lives on their phones and laptops these days, and no matter how much we techies tell them to back their data up, many people don't. If I can rescue a phone or a computer that wouldn't turn on before I repaired it, I can make someone's day hugely brighter. People like Louis who shoot these videos help make this possible.

I really hope we can get these Right to Repair laws passed so people continue to have a choice in where and how their devices get repaired.
Most of the large-company Oracle Enterprise DBAs I know switched to MySQL about 10 years ago.

Now that Postgres has built-in replication, it is also a serious candidate to replace Oracle.

Many "10x programmers" aren't anywhere near 10x faster/better/etc in an environment full of 1x programmers. I think "exponential" would be a better description than 10x. If you watch them in the short term they look similar to the 1x programmers. If you distribute their exponential gains over the whole team then this will always be true. These types are like successful hedge fund managers in the domain of technical investment and debt. If you let them work alone long enough you'll start to see their foresight paying dividends.
Fasting != intermittent fasting. You're not abstaining for weeks.

A meal can take take 24 hours or longer to digest (especially when it's a 'feast').

It's not unusual for people to gain weight during Ramadan (they don't break their' fast' with green pea soup).

If it's your first day (of your life) adjusting your food intake pattern, maybe there is a performance hit.

I'm not Muslim but I fast for fitness reasons much of the year. More focus, more strength, euphoria.

Eating takes a lot of energy. I now work for myself but when I was at a multinational finance company, I could see the post-lunch drain bring down 90% of people on my floor.

>>“It’s a paradox,” said Valentin Bote, head of research in Spain at Randstad, a recruitment agency. “The unemployment rate is too high. Yet we’re seeing some tension in the labor market because unemployed people don’t have the skills employers demand.
