This sort of thing will continue as long as people persist in developing for proprietary walled gardens like iOS.

Once again, and despite my annoyance with the man in general, Stallman is right. This sort of thing is unethical, and we as developers shouldn't be supporting it by developing for iOS.

kube-proxy (the k8s per-node service agent) is a good generic solution, but has some issues.

The primary issue is that it doesn't support advanced use-cases like circuit breaking or retry budgets (it's just a set of iptables rules).

Also, I believe linkerd uses IPC, which wil be quicker for intra-node communication between processes[1] (i.e. east-west communications).

Not sure how linkerd does it, but it's possible to bypass the kube-proxy and directly watch the set of pod IPs that a service is selecting, so linkerd can avoid hitting the default kube-proxy if it wants to.

Local purchasing power in Denmark is clearly lower than US, not higher. And it's the same for practically all of Europe.

Purchasing power is more evenly distributed, though, i.e. the poorest have better purchasing power.

By OECD purchasing power comparison, Denmark is 26 % more expensive than U.S. And workers have, on average, 15 % lower wages in Denmark.

>I've travelled around Europe, food is very cheap in Central, Southern and Eastern Europe. It's basically Scandinavia that's expensive.

In Scandinavia it's actually relatively "cheaper" to locals compared to central/eastern Europe, while Danes spend ~12% of their annual income on food Poles spend over 20%.
That's because the price of many food products is actually relatively similar in most countries within the EU including local production but there is a pretty high disparity as far as annual income goes.

Because building real decentralized services, i.e. cross-platform peer-to-peer clients that are stylish and secure, is really hard.
There is around 1$ per day per person food subsidy in the US, which has a rather large impact on food prices especially meat. 20% of this is in the form of direct aid, but the spending comes in a very wide range of support for rural areas because of over representation in our political process.

Ex: http://www.hrsa.gov/ruralhealth/ yes these things are not intended as a food subsidy but low population areas have higher costs for many things which would otherwise raise food prices. Economically only a fraction of rural aid lowers food prices, but the net effect is significant.
It's easy. If it comes from a highly-regulated industry requiring substantial investment in safety and efficacy studies to get anything to market, then all of those studies are clearly lies and everything is from the spawn of Satan. If it comes from an industry which law prevents any agency from regulating any claims of safety and efficacy and that can't be bothered to actually put the listed ingredients in their products, then everything they say is gospel truth and there is absolutely no harm.

I would say it's a simple everything-corporate-is-evil philosophy, but there are some pretty big corporations behind the alternative medicine/organic farming stuff that are good at hiding the fact that they're big corporations.

> So basically, you haven't bought an Apple product in 20 years for reasons that really have nothing at all to do with this discussion

No, Apple's control of the iPhone was perhaps the major reason I never bought one, way back before I had a smart phone (or even a cell phone).

I have several major problems with Apple: I prefer Linux; their software is not free (this is related to the previous item); they control your devices (this is related to the previous item); since they got rid of the old iBooks and iMacs their design language has been boring and, frankly, ugly; I dislike the cult aspects of Apple (having once been a True Believer); I am tired of Apple's high opinion of itself (this is related to the previous item); I think their hardware is over-priced. I could probably think of more.

Now, some of that is just a matter of taste (some people like Jony Ives's rectangles and circles — that's OK), but some of that is indicative of things which are, from my perspective at least, 'wrong on Apple's part,' to use your phrase.

>It may, perhaps, be a reasonable conclusion that the environment (at any level) alone does not confer the property, but it is certainly less reasonable to conclude that the environment is not relevant to the property and it results from genetics alone.

We can, however, rule out the environment as a sole causal factor. Since the only other possible factor is genetics, we must conclude that genetics plays some role in longevity.

Hence,

is false. Its basis is not debatable.

I see how this might be possible as the ads are loaded via javascript, but the javascript running the ads should be owned by Spotify, not the advertising company, that should just be an image file. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

On another note, this statement "Some of them do not even require user action to be able to cause harm." makes me trust this even less. If the ad is opening a new browser window, that browser window is sandboxed. Sure it can ask the user to take an action, but it can't take an action on behalf of the user.

Anybody else have insights on this?

> 1. The idea that lobsters experience no senescence is, at best, unproven.

True, but irrelevant. They have extraordinary longevity. That much is proven.

> 2. Even if we assume that lobsters experience no senescence or vastly less than humans, there is no particular reason to believe that the source of their longevity does not depend on things that are vastly incompatible with humans. If "the only difference" between humans and lobsters is genetics (it's sort of not, see below) it can still be the case that the only way to get the longevity of lobsters into humans is to turn humans more-or-less entirely into lobsters.

Also true, but irrelevant. It may be the case that we have to have the exact genome of a lobster in order to obtain this benefit. However, this fact has no bearing on my point: Genetics and longevity are deeply related.

Right! That's the point of codata. If you want your program to run forever, you could express e.g. I/O events as an infinite (codata) stream. Then, instead of trying to prove that your program terminates (which it might not), it proves that your program "does something useful" every time it gets an IO event, for a particular practical definition of "doing something useful".

What does that have to do with calling out papers for being incorrect?
This is pretty interesting. Society and science don't always get along so it's certainly valuable to study the subjective relationship.

I think most of us who would disagree with you do so from the assumption that there exists an objective reality, regardless of whether an observer is aware of it at all.

In other words, the general consensus asserts that the universe doesn't care whether you or I know, understand or agree how it works, it works that way regardless.

You, and your science/philosophy, assert that since we cannot determine any reality outside of our observation then said reality does not exist (or is, at least, irrelevant).

I still think this is just semantics, even though both philosophies will continue to assert that their point of view is more correct.

From a practical perspective a person coming from the philosophy of a true objective reality existing and science being the process of finding those facts should be no different from a person advocating your point of view. Both will make errors and will need to correct them. Both will have to overcome dogmatic beliefs that are later proven incorrect.

The objective reality philosopher would claim that reality is correcting her errors whereas the inter-subjective philosopher would claim that new observations from other subjects (observers) are correcting his errors.

Regardless of where they believe the corrections are coming from, they seem to lead to the same science, and the same convergence toward what the data tells us.

(Regarding the P.S. That's a very helpful clarification. The terms seem to confuse the issue rather than illuminate it, in my opinion)
The question is - if it happens, why don't they factcheck the outliers and make sure they don't mess up the developer due to their buggy software.

Step 1:

Taxpayer owned, profits (after maintenance, expansion of the program, etc) going to decrease taxes, parking structures at the edges of cities located at nexus points of vehicle and intra-city transit grids: preferring density on both.

Step 2:

Make movement /intra/ city on public transit and systems free (possibly only for uses of the parking system).

Step 3:

Affordable 'carts' designed to be used with the transit system for people to move goods from their cars and/or shopping trips back to their homes. Bonus points if there are 'pod' versions that are lockable, trackable (smart phone app), and which other delivery services can be paid to bring to your apartment/condo/etc.

Step 4:

Expand the jurisdiction limits of the city to the point that it encompasses the metro area, to make planning actually work.

Step 5:

Encourage development of the right kind of housing in the right areas; encourage it by carrot and stick until the price of housing is where you desire it.
I'm in the process of re-writing an API and was looking at GraphQL just yesterday.

Any thoughts on this?
