I've got the opposite problem. I was so hesitant to pay money, that I failed to buy sets before they were dropped, and I really regret missing some of them. The Medieval Market Village and Bag-end, in particular.

That said, Lego Star Wars has been taking over our house, and we now need to buy a bigger house.
Sorry, I realize the phrasing was bad.

"But" should've probably been an "Also". I was only trying to point at the difference between TF, CS and L4D starting as mods and ending up as full games and CTF and Gun Games starting out as mods (even though the CTF concet has existed outside of games long before) and ending up as only game modes in other full games.

> The only good news found in this research was that after searching TV streams from seven different countries, researchers failed to discover any ultrasonic beacons

Would that even work? I'm pretty sure modern digital TV audio compression totally removes sound that is vaguely close to 'ultrasound'. I guess maybe smart TV apps could add the signal though, but why would they when they already know what you are watching?

It reminds me of a website for one of those annoying 'Mosquito' anti-loitering devices. The sound was provided as an MP3, which was of course totally filtered out by the compression resulting in a totally empty file.

Doesn't this also make it several orders of magnitude slower? Every time I find myself using Bitmaps it's when speed is extremely important. What are some use cases for this not covered by in-process Bitmaps, Bloom filters, and HyperLogLog?

I'm just not aware of many use cases for bitmap indexes willing to trade that much speed for database-like access. I think this project would be more usable factored into a library than something external
well it's like tinder for dogs, but for cats!
Oh come on... Apple single-handedly revived the software-for-consumers business model with the App Store. Before, people bought a PC with an OEM license for Office and got their son to install a pirated version of Photoshop. There was essentially no market for consumer software outside of games.
Is it normal to just publish such exploits now?

Isn't the unethical variant selling that 0day at the black market?
Apple's number one key, most important reason for their rules about apps is simple - they prioritise whatever keeps users buying a new iPhones every 2 years. Multiple iterations of what is ostensibly the same app with small feature additions isn't going to do that - users don't need a new phone to run something with some extra levels or a new admin screen. Apple need to keep the content in the app store looking like new things that take advantage of new phone features. Brands are great, so new versions of games that use existing IP are welcomed, but new minor versions of previous apps are not.

If you want to build and release small, incremental iterations of an application instead of major updated versions of an application then don't write software for iPhones.
Code boilerplate: Is it always bad? A case study between Python and Go
I agree with the problem but Wouldn't this be more because the indie market is fighting the larger businesses for prices until the final lowest price step to compete for buyers was a .99 cent app or in app purchase or ads. If App Store kept indies out we would have had 9.99 Microsoft word style apps everywhere. It sucks now for a single dev who can't market a app for $30,000 dollars that only makes $8,000. It almost mimics the American economy where the top %1 wins, sometimes you hear of a lower class citizen making it and then everyone thinks they can make it.

EHealth Week 2017: how data for health is key to personalised sustainable care
your first point coupled with diminishing free air range in bands above 40kHz makes this hack seem like a futile attempt to simply gather as much data as possible, as low or uncorrelated as it might be. Some phones might be more cappable than others, however, and air is dense enough for several meters of significant ultrasound transmission at low power. With e.g. Samsung TVs always listening, I wouldn't be surprised if they optimized the speakers and micros in that regards, while benign applications aren't out of the question either.

The second point however is an overly broad generalisation disregarding the technical inaptitude of the target group of such apps (wherein I might include myself).
It takes up about 2 percent of my 7 year old cpu in chrome. It is also compiled from Unity, so was not made from C++ directly.

Hi, the article is back up. No worries, you're right, the tech is perfectly safe for the road - in traffic signs and in many other applications (www.visionect.com/blog/electronic-paper-truck-displays). So many exciting projects yet to come!
> Hi, Ursa from Visionect here, the company powering the Sydney traffic signs.

You're also the poster of the article which is an ad from your company.

> In many applications, it can also prove to be as much as four times more reliable than LCD.

That's a really vague answer. Are you saying your solar powered road side display panels are 4 times more reliable than the LCD panels used with everything else? Could you share some data with us?
On the flip side, this means you have already installed and committed to having this app on your phone. Lots of people might just press "accept" at that point out of being lazy, instead of uninstalling it and going back to the app store to look for an alternative.

If you ask me, both should be in place. When I install an app a list of permissions (and a short text next to each from the developer explaining why they need this permission), along with manual prompting once the app is installed and the thing in question (like the mic) is to be used.

Also because of the survivor effect: if 3 hedge funds do poorly and one does incredibly well, guess which fund manager gets interviewed on the news. And don't be surprised if the analysts decide that half of the funds were incredibly successful (since 2 of the 4 were really in a different category and shouldn't​ count).

I'm not sure that Apple's environment is hostile towards sustainability of small software businesses like the author claims. Sure, prices are low, but the market is huge and it's extremely easy to sell large numbers if the app is worth anything.

To put it differently: how well would a small software business that is struggling under these conditions have fared 25-30 years ago when you had to advertise in print magazines and carry the disks to the post office for every customer (and every update!)? The fact that there is more competition now, isn't exactly Apple's fault either.

> it doesn't produce epidemics of food-borne illness in their community because they handle and cook food appropriately.

Do you have a source for this? Food borne illness goes massively unreported because except in infants and the elderly, it generally resolves by itself. I can only imagine that given the challenges immigrant communities have with getting adequate health care in the US, they are even less likely to report food borne illness. I just can't see the link between "Chinese cook their vegetables more" and no epidemics of food borne illness.

The full browser DOM is certainly there. The missing APIs are the Electron-specific ones that apps can use to access desktop features.

Adding new APIs individually is pretty easy, but there's a lot of stuff in Electron, so reaching full coverage is of course a lot of work... That's why I'd like to try adding APIs based on usage in real-world apps, "filling in the gaps" so to speak.

I wrote a blog post with some more details about the rationale behind Electrino:

Bankruptcy is the norm in the U.S. That's one of the reasons for the immense economic growth the U.S. has seen.

Appetite for risk is good in the aggregate. PR will get downgraded for sure though.
In the past, there was very limited ad space in tech magazines, so, inevitably, fewer softwares were known and money focused on those that remained.

Today apps are competing with millions of other apps directly in the app store, anything you want it's been done and released free / with ads, so it's a whole different kind of difficult, probably more difficult than in the past.
I don't think this is Apple's fault as much as the reality of competition.

The reason apps are so cheap is because there are so many substitutes.

Apple may be highlighting those who support multiple platforms, but its not telling anyone what to charge.

Musicians complain about the same thing as music gets cheaper and remains somewhat fungible.

It's no one's fault, it's just the reality of competition in an industry with zero marginal cost.

I think your point relates to the discoverability problem the author mentioned. People mostly find or learn about apps through the App Store. So apps that get to the top of search results can get millions of downloads while similar but unlucky apps get almost nothing.

the file size is too small to be an equivalent to (nodewebkit/electron) - webkit/chromium.

What you'd need is node (without webkit) which translates to ~9MB, + launching with the system browser.

9MB or so would still be a large step down from entire chromium runtime, but desktop apps still will have access to things like fs module, which are needed for desktop apps.

Was (consumer) software ever perceived as that valuable, though? Most everyone I know is completely unwilling to buy an app or subscription. Even some technical people I know just refuse to spend money on software or services. It's not something I understand or agree with, just something I've noticed. It may be a more regional thing, too, here in the rural southeast.

The plan is to implement Node-compatible modules directly in Electrino.

I made stubs for "path", "url", "process" so that the Electron Hello World can be loaded. Doing "fs" next seems like a good idea, but I'd like to have a real-world app to test it against to see which APIs actually get hit (rather than just reimplementing all of "fs").
What is really important is the value that is provided to the city and end users - you get up to deliver information to your commuters in real time. This is hard/impossible to do if you need to deploy LCD signs that require massive roadworks to connect to power.

This x100. The problem has nothing to do with Apple. Writers, painters and musicians have been faced with the same kind of market for a while, though there's no centralized middleman. Video game developers are headed that way as well. When distribution is easy, "little guys" overrun the market and drive the average success level to zero.

Ironically the one thing that might help is centralized gatekeeping with strict quality control. But that's not as profitable for the gatekeeper as the alternative, so I guess it makes sense for the gatekeeper to be a non-profit entity that can enforce rules, like a union or guild. I wonder when the world will realize that.

I'd argue that the perceived value of software is correct. As with all IP, once created the value of a copy is pretty much zero. It's a simple case of supply and demand, the supply is infinite so logically the price is zero.

The problem is not selling software (or songs, or movies or any other IP really) for too little, the problem is billing for something that is not scarce. People intuitively understand that scarce things have value and that the value depends on how scarce it is. This is why selling things for which there is an unlimited supply is an uphill battle.

Look at it like this: if you hire a plumber to install a toilet in your home, would you accept it if the toilet was 'free' but you had to pay a fee for every usage ? Hell no. But you'll gladly pay the plumbers hourly wage and material costs.

The IP industry is trying to sell toilets on a pay-per-flush basis and then acts all surprised when people don't accept this and see no ethical problems with piracy.

The real solution would be to find a way to charge for things that people do consider scarce, such as the developers/artists time. Unless we find a way to do that we are stuck with this conflict between consumers and producers of IP.

Life expectancy of LCD/LEDs depends greatly on the type (consumer would die fairly quickly in outdoor scenarios) and I'm sure one could build an LCD/LED display that will last 4 years outdoors. It's hard to deploy such LCD/LED sign (you require power and lots of it to be visible in sunlight) but it's possible.

The important thing here is that this first production outdoor deployment of EPD signs in the world works for for years without any serious problems which confirms that e-paper is a viable technology for outdoor deployments. There was a lot of skepticism back in 2013 if this is at all possible.
