Nobody can do it as cheap as a used rocket. Since the they will be (relatively) mass producing their internet satellites, losing one on a highly reused rocket won't be much of a financial hit. SpaceX could test rockets to failure with their own sats for a tiny fraction of the cost anyone else would face.

Never said it was wrong, just emblematic.

Their customer service ratings might be high, but those ratings are inflated by the same people who, if they managed to notice that their new phone was actually refurbished will get a quick turn around on it, nevermind that they shouldn't have to deal with that at all.

The customer service is also inflated because they'll screw over sellers to do that. Maybe I'm too vindictive over my really negative experience, but there's plenty of stories of them screwing over sellers. It's also a notoriously bad place to work (friends and HN stories attest to that).

That stuff combined suggests a company that will do what it wants to win, cracked eggs be damned. It's admirable in a way, but it doesn't seem there's much in that company except a desire to dominate.
I think the major difference is this notation has the count of loose wires corresponding to dimension, and Penrose notation has the count of loose wires corresponding to tensor valence.

Here, a diagram with 1L and 2R wires corresponds to a 2d-vector, in Penrose's notation it would correspond to a (1,2) tensor that takes kd-vectors to kXk matrices.

But... they certainly have a similar feel. I wonder if you could build up the Penrose notation out of this.

Having overseen the update of an app to support the new layout I disagree with you. The main issues we found is the virtual home button that could fall in the locations where you have buttons (allegedly is not a problem with built-ins like navbars, but still an issue on some screens).

Another issue we found is support for the overflow when hiding the top bar on scroll and other minor issues that I have no time to tell.

But the real problem is that you need to test and test all screens, something difficult in a complex app. Especially since the X was released in late November and difficult to find for some time.

That does not mean that having a compatible app by April, 6 months later is a hard requirement. But updating the support requires a good amount of work, it is not trivial and could consume a good chunk of time to do that.

Yes, and you can't buy Rigid or Ryobi tools at Lowes either. (even on their website). You also can't find a Pepsi machine at the Coke headquarters. (You can even be fired for being seen drinking Pepsi). There is nothing wrong with not carrying products that compete with your own. There is something wrong with blocking access to purchasing those products from other places though. Right now, people are free to go to Overstock.com (please), Walmart.com, Target.com, Apple.com... the list seems endless.

A friend of mine in the telecom business claimed that's how Level3 grew. They were laying fiber for others, but the largest cost of that is in logistics, permitting, digging, etc... So they just laid down their own fiber along with their customers at a fraction of the cost.

Well let's consult history, shall we?

You must mean other than the first 160 or so years of the country's existence, when the US operated as something dramatically closer to a free market, there were few regulations, few taxes, no welfare state, very few state interventions into the economy, few or no national business or economic-related laws, etc.

It's not that I don't agree you don't need governmental help to protect against facebook, but rather that it's very unlikely to come from the US government any time soon. You'd be better off taking active steps to protect yourself as much as possible (admittedly won't be complete protection) than sitting around hoping someone in DC will care enough to protect you. The current trend is that things will get worse before they get better (if ever). Write your congress folks, etc etc, I guess.

Suffice it to say: Wallace is not convinced that the knife through the head lets you off the hook so easily.

By definition, if a company has significant market power then they are not delivering the services/goods society wants from their market. Because they are able to set price they are setting output below optimum. This leaves demand unmet. But the worst part is it creates wasted goods. Ie they wind up making units that they won’t sell or hoarding resources that then may not be used by anyone. Market power leads to inefficiency and that’s supposed to be what free economy does better than the other resource allocation systems.

You appear to still be using HN primarily for ideological battle. That's an abuse of this site because it destroys the intellectual curiosity that HN exists for. As I've explained to you before, we ban accounts that do this, regardless of which ideology they favor. This is in the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html):

Please don't use Hacker News primarily for political or ideological battle. This destroys intellectual curiosity, so we ban accounts that do it.

If anyone wants to understand how we interpret this rule, the key word is 'primarily' and I've posted about it a lot: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme....

I don't think you're abusing HN on purpose, but we've given you multiple warnings already. When people either can't or won't use the site as intended, we do end up banning them.

Yes but dignity is usually related to respect and honor.

They should change that phrase to "reduce cruelty towards animals" and then it's fine. Say it as it is basically.
I’m sure that’s true. But would it be that hard for Apple to say “this applies to new apps today and existing apps in two years“? That way developers would have tons of warning, but they wouldn’t be able to sit on their feet forever.

And I’d only apply it to updates to apps.

That would unleash a pandora's box of corruption and abuse by inviting bureaucrats to even more directly control the economy through vague notions such as "too long." If you think the system is bad now, it'd be 10x worse if what you're suggesting were implemented.

Every layer of bureaucrat control and vagueness that is applied, dramatically harms the economy and brings it down toward stagnation of zero growth. We got 30+ years of that demonstration from France, where their GDP growth and wage growth has averaged 1/4th to 1/5th that of the US over the last several decades. Similarly Japan has a hyper regulated and rigid economy, with predictably bad growth as a consequence. As the US has grown more regulated over the last 40 years, its GDP growth has dramatically slowed (while the global economy has routinely grown far faster, and the US share of the global economy has not fundamentally changed).

Instead of considering these political concepts in an idealized fantasy scenario, you have to actually apply them to things as they are. You have to apply them with politicians as they exist in the US today. It would be the worst nightmare imaginable economically, next to moving to actual Socialism (ie direct, literal corrupt control of the economy by bureaucrats).

But are they using any tactics other than being cheaper and faster to ship? Their decision not to carry a Chromecast is sad, but, I was also unable to purchase one at radioshack.com. No one would accuse Radio Shack (do they even really exist anymore?) of attempting to use their weight against Google. My point being, it's just a simple business practice not to sell something competes with you in your own store. Apple doesn't sell Dell products either.
Straw man argument. Apple doesn’t have a “general” marketplace that lets you sell almost anything under the sun. Neither is being a marketplace central to their business.

It's not ok to use HN primarily for ideological battle, which your account appears to be doing. This site exists for intellectual curiosity, and we can't have that and war at the same time.

That doesn't mean politicized topics can't be discussed—obviously they are and should be, up to a point. But such discussions tend to consume everything else with their flames, so we have to be careful about not letting them take over HN completely.

The best way we've found so far to draw the line is the 'primarily' test. When an account uses HN primarily for intellectual curiosity, i.e. for encountering and discussing interesting things, it's not an abuse of the site to occasionally talk politics too. But if it's on HN primarily for political battle, then—regardless of the politics—we ask the user not to and ban the account if it doesn't change.

This turns out to work well because there's a gap between these two kinds of user. The first kind tends to remain civil and substantive even as topics get more divisive. The second kind tends not only to drop the gloves, but also to come armed with talking points and not be interested in conversation for its own sake. The one group fits the purpose of HN while the other does not. There are exceptions, of course. But the rule holds up well enough to be a fair standard for moderation.

More on this at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16185062, https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, and https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme....

What really annoys me about Apple and what shows up again in this review: In each keynote the highlight how "green" they are and how much they care about the environment.

But if they really would care about waste reduction and the environment then they would have switched over to USB-C for their phones (one truly universal type of cable = less waste), they would have kept the headphone jack (bluetooth earphones are a waste of precious resources), and they would produce laptops and desktops which are serviceable and upgradable by the user. Every single one of their products is made for "use it two years, throw it away when it breaks and buy a new one". Unfortunately other companies aren't much better, e.g. Microsofts Surface laptops which are impossible to repair.
> We have a huge problem in the office right now in that we don't have any mechanism to pay each other digitally for things like lunch - seriously!

Have you considered running an internal credit system? Those who pay for other's shares of a given lunch get credits for those, and those whose lunch is paid for get debits.

When a group of people go to lunch, the person with the persons with high debt should pick up the tab.

Once a week or once a month or something, people should bring cash to settle their debt, with the cash then distributed to those with credit.

We almost did that at an office I worked at...but got bogged down in bikeshedding other features. In particular, our biggest lunch problem was not settling the bill. It was agreeing where to go to lunch. So some people wanted the lunch manager to also handle that, and wanted to do it in a way that was fair.

How to do it fair is not obvious, and no one could agree on the solution.
MSFT was always about owning the platform. All platforms. The writing was on the wall about mobile devices overtaking desktops/laptops - as it took time for the telcoms to build out faster wireless networks.

Windows CE was supposed to be where iOS and Android are in 2018. They blew that plain and simple.

I'm no iPhone fan, its overpriced and overhyped as a computing device IMO. But, the watershed moment that created today'd mass computing - was the invention of the iPhone. It just obliterated Palm and the WinCE alternatives of the time.

> Yes but dignity is usually related to respect and honor. When was the last time you killed and ate something out of respect?

I don't kill what I eat, but most communities and cultures where this is a regular occurrence have long traditions of respecting the animals being sacrificed. One form of respect is to minimize the animal's suffering (both when it's raised and when it's killed), another is to use all parts of it, another is to not have an unfair advantage when hunting it, and so on. It's not one dimensional.
