Not if the sale is made out of a branch or subsidiary based in Germany. Then its profit is calculated in the same way as any local company and taxed locally. And I think this what we are talking about in Apple's case. Not sales made directly by Apple Inc in the US but sales made by foreign subsidiaries of Apple.
It's a beta. You're helping them test it, so them collecting usage/statistics is completely fair. If you don't want to take part in the beta testing, don't install the beta and wait for the full release (which the creator said elsewhere in the thread won't require email or data collection).

In saying that, I do think a sentence above the email field saying "By taking part in this beta, you're helping us collect data to improve the product for final release, which will not require your email address or do data collection unless opting in" or some such.

Overgeneralizations about HN are my weak spot! Actually Scott and I bumped three Google submissions off the HN front page this afternoon for that very reason. The goals here are substance and variety. To be fair, some of those blog posts are substantive articles, while others just read like corporate press releases, and the same is true on apple.com.

It's strange how some users get indignant about certain bigcorps in favor of other bigcorps and vice versa. I suppose the Greeks were that way about their gods.

This would probably run into legal problems, you're essentially saying you must allow us to track everything or don't use the site, but GDPR is about granular permissions - if you assert that users must give blanket permissions I would argue that breaks GDPR right away.
The legitimate interest is maybe arguable, but then people can argue hey you can develop and debug your site without these pervasive tracking tools. I think allowing this as a legitimate interest would be a big attack on the law.

It took a gradual disconnect to get me back on track. As best a developer can disconnect anyway. I leave my phone behind as often as I can, and it opens me up to so many small interactions with people that wouldn't have happened otherwise.

I started taking my book to the city's gardens on weekends. I found the first time I went there, I plonked down on a bench, and the months of constant engagement finally caught up to me. I sat doing nothing for at least an hour, and didn't even bother with the book.

I haven't felt that level of mental exhaustion since I cut out what engagement I can. That day was such a contrast against how I normally felt that the decision to go lower tech was easy.

Every now and then it creeps back insidiously, and I find myself mindlessly flicking around the web or my phone if I have it with me. I can always tell when I am slipping when I get out to the gardens again, and I feel the exhaustion. It serves as a kind of barometer for my mental state, because it can be really hard to tell when you are burning yourself out.

It's only beyond the pale because you appear to misunderstand the ruling and the existing law.

A corporation still cannot make unlimited campaign donations. They can however spend their money however they choose. As long as they are not coordinating with any compaign.

If a candidate is running and promises to raise income tax to 99%, then I can form a political action committee or corporation and spend as much money as we want trashing the candidate that is pushing that idea. We cannot, however, donate unlimited funds to his opponent or work directly with any campaign, pay their expenses, etc.

It is a perfectly reasonable freedom that just happens to have negative consequences.

I'd say the ease with which Debian can be kept up-to-date as a rolling distribution (just follow testing or unstable (which isn't all that unstable, breakage is rare, for that you want experimental)) versus the convoluted process of moving from one Ubuntu release to the next. Where Debian can be kept in line with apt update; apt dist-upgrade (or full-upgrade which does the same) Ubuntu generally necessitates a re-install between releases.
> the actual editing feels very slow - painting something takes almost a second to update with the brush being very jumpy, reminding me using ZSoft's PhotoFinish on Windows 3.1 on my 4MB 386:-P.

It's completely and utterly indistinguishable from a native app on my PC (Firefox 57.0.4 (64-bit) on Windows 10). First thing I noticed was how smooth and flawless it was, even when I expand the canvas and go crazy with every single tool to make a big mess, it didn't slow down once.
I think serverless basically just means sharing more with other customers. You don't juts share the same hardware running your own VM on it, you share the same VM executing a big program one part of which is your lambda-functions. This leads to better utilization of hardware resources.

It's not about a cloud vs. inhouse you might have the lambdas of your different departments running in the same VM.

"serverless" really means "shared program".
The corporation cannot make campaign donations. They can't even talk with or coordinate with any specific campaign. They can, however take a public stand about who they want to win and run commercial to that effect.
This one still gets me every time: https://www.bostondynamics.com/spot-mini
> why aren't Google, FB, Amazon, Microsoft, Alibaba ... hosting their infrastructure on cloud

They are... they are literally the cloud(s) and their biggest customer. In fact, they are big enough to offer you their ops and expertise for a small fee over baremetal. Many cloud consumers are literally using up the overhead existing in these businesses' hardware that would otherwise be sitting around.

It can be done cheaper, sure but not without giving up opportunity time and work you may just not want to deal with. I certainly am over having to manage supplier relationships or having to wake someone I don't know or find difficult to converse with to bounce a router or kick a generator.

Are there many, or even any, examples of that? If so I'd like to see one.

Really, all we care about is having the best article on a topic, where by 'best' I mean something like 'most substantive, while remaining accessible to a general audience'. By that standard it seemed obvious that the Reuters url was better. Anti-Apple bias doesn't enter into it, and frankly the idea feels a little absurd to me.

And isn't Ubuntu built on Debian? I guess I don't understand the distinctions, then.
If you think longer-term, electric trains are realistic. If batteries are cheaper than Diesel, you could just put 2x20ft container at the front with batteries. They can be swapped en-route and used as battery storage when not in use. As far as I know, most newer freight trains are diesel-electric anyway so not sure if you couldn't just feed the electric engine directly from a battery without buying new engines.

Currently not feasible because of high battery prices but realistic in 1-2 decades. And losses are lower than for electrified rail.

Busy routes are still better electrified but the huge US freight rail network would likely be cheaper to convert that way.
I would think that a community supported Debian distro wouldn't match up to a canonical supported distribution. But it seems otherwise. The existence of Ubuntu has greatly benefited the Linux use base, with many patches contributed upstream to Debian and other related projects. Sad to see Google move away from them.

Personally, Ubuntu is much more palatable to end users who aren't CS majors, especially with their willingness to ship/support closed source drivers, unlike Debian

If they release gLinux to the outside world, we can all benefit from their constant vigilance, compared to just a community supported distro

We had a few train incidents in Europe and security hasn't been increased. They mostly handle that by more police at stations and in trains. The only train with heavy security is the Eurostar because it uses the Channel tunnel which is at higher risk.

Blowing up a train somewhere is not more dangerous than blowing up a car in the middle of a motorway.
I wonder if there's more brand loyalty to American auto manufacturers in cities/states where the roads are not well maintained. Thus their base naturally shifts towards SUVs as the ride quality of sedans comparatively degrades.

Pretty sure I commented on a similar article years ago that came up with a figure around $75 per phone additional cost.
No idea how they got that figure, and perhaps it's a number that is only achieved if it were all phones being made in the states, and so scale is important to it.. However, if it is indeed possible to make half, or X amount of iphones in the states at only a $100 premium added to the price, I imagine a great deal of them would sell no problem.

First of all, I'd wager that most people are not paying $1,000 cash for a new phone, and if they were, making it $1100 instead to get one with a US emblem on it would be negligle... however aren't most people just getting a new phone for free with contract, or just "jumping" to a new phone and still paying the same $20 per month that they will likely be paying forever for each new phone they will be getting from their loan shark, I mean carrier.. so they will never see the price increase. That would make an average cell phone bill go from $95 per month to $96 or something right?

I personally believe the only thing holding them back from making them in the states has been holding a lot of cash over seas and over the heads to negotiate tax breaks with the fed and and discount deals with states.

No idea what's really happening, but it would seem prudent for companies to get more chips made in the states with the way things have been getting unstable with relations in other parts of the world.

Apple seems to be in a better position for these things compared to HP / Dell, etc imho.
Tech is a ruthless meritocracy, because people face challenges constantly that exceed their capabilities.

If something sucks, they will shout it to the skies. If it performs better or saves their ass on a key feature, they will shout it to the skies.

Let those shouts echo, and the equilibrium is how we decide on what's next.

Censorship is almost always a bad idea. Furthermore, you shouldn't chill the ability of people to talk about a platform if you eat your own dogfood and believe in it.
I second that. Having a <1 connection from smaller cities to SFO will make commuting from there a realistic option and could help to somewhat normalise prices in SF and Bay Area.
I don't get it. How are these voices going to be heard outside of the echo chamber of the community? For voices to be heard by the broader population, the echo chamber needs to be open and inclusive.

Also, if you visit Japan as a foreigner look at JR Rail Pass. A three week pass for the green car (1st class) will cost ~80'000 yen ($720) and is a comperative bargain if you make use of it.

For example: Tokyo to Sapporo [which is Shinkansen to Hakodate only] and back is more than 92K.
This is absurd. All databases, at some point in time, run into scaling and performance issues. Documentation by blogging and performance metrics are the only guiding light of sanity we have when these hard problems hit your app.
https://isthereanydeal.com/ regularly shows me titles on my wishlist that are cheaper on somewhere other than on Steam.
Note that, per the blurb at hand, NeoPG is intentionally even more monolithic.
Then people using PostgreSQL remember how their database is free, rather than a $100,000 a year despite having more flexibility and features, and you see why Larry Ellison would do this.

Few nitpicks and more of showing off how much I care and love what you've done:

* rubber cursor is wrong
* circle and rounded rectangle tools are filling their insides when they shouldn't

* Color picker is way too modern :D

"We’re not in a Cold War scenario. We are in 2018," said Dr. Irwin Redlener, head of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University’s Earth
Institute. "We’re not facing what we were facing 50 years ago, when the Soviet Union and the U.S. had nuclear warheads pointed at each other that would devastate the
world. There’s a threat, but it’s a different type of threat today."

Russia and the US still have thousands of warheads pointing at each other.

People like the author of the above quote are living with a false sense of security.
I'm using Postgres for a financial app, and the idea of never updating a value in place sounds very appealing over PostgreSQL's construct of updating in place.

This response is a much worse spin than that allegedly purported by the app author. So an app potentially flags net neutrality violations, why the fuck does Apple care? What's the exact app store rule that forbids random, inaccurate judgements?

I've argued this multiple times, but HN seems to not understand Apple's dominance in the app market. If your app isn't on the Apple app store, and your business model depends on payments (not advertising), then you're irrelevant in Western Europe, US and far East Asia. In the market segment that pays for apps & software, Apple is the dominant channel. In most other industries, such a pole position would qualify as a monopoly, but Apple is great at deflecting scrutiny, or the regulators are in their pockets. In either case, their BS app approval process is horrible for the industry, including the end consumers.

In the history of general purpose computing, never ever has a company sold hardware to the customer transferring ownership rights to the customer, and then locked the device up to apps approved by the hardware manufacturer, going as far as taking a 30% cut. How this is flying past regulators is anyone's guess, and as more time progresses, people will begin to think that running apps on hardware they own is a privilege, not a right. Ludicrous!!

Popular databases at scale can be tremendously popular too. This is the profit model of databases like Neo4J. Not sure if it worked out for them, but it seems like a viable route to popularity: go big at scale.

This picture shows a double stack container under electric catenary, so it's possible. The cost would be high for the length of tank involved.
