Seems like that's actually unclear, from the article:

> The email didn't clarify exactly what support for the iPhone X's "Super Retina" screen means—does it just mean the resolution and aspect ratio must be supported, or do developers also have to update their apps to respect the rounded corners, sensor array (which many people call "the notch"), and the home indicator?

Requiring support for the aspect ratio and resolution alone would hardly be unreasonable. It's their flagship device and a taller aspect ratio is becoming common everywhere.

Sounds like the "home indicator" is the trickiest thing for some full screen apps? Without having an iPhone X it's hard to know for sure, but is that similar to how Android apps have to respect that swiping up on the lower portion of the screen on a Pixel or such is interpreted by the OS as bringing up the on-screen buttons instead of going through to the app?

Does anyone have more concrete info on what "supporting" means for the X?

> at least be able to point to a way they’re abusing their power or are making a worse experience for customers

Didn't Amazon ban products from Apple and Google, that competed with their own, from their online store? Isn't this still the case even though they said last year they would eventually allow them again?

If you tell Alexa, "buy me a chromecast", it orders you an Amazon fire stick instead.
The article also points out that novelty was a big factor. I'd happily pay $20 to try the coffee from California. I might even pay $55 for a cup of that Klutsch coffee mentioned. Only once though. The coffee can be as good as it once, even if I was swimming in money I'd rather donate the money than regularly spend $20/cup.
> I could murder someone quite easily. Do you put me in jail just in case?

Nope, you haven't. You have the potential to attack someone and hope they can't get away in time or protect themselves.

If you really wanted to get the ability to murder someone at your sole descision, you'd have to take someone hostage, plot a terrorist attack or build a nuke. All of which will instantly land you in jail.

In the same way, I think a monopolist should be regulated because basically the only thing stopping them tovdo harmful things is their own descision not to do so. A descision that could change for whatever reasons.
Walmart has dramatically more data on retail sales than Amazon.

Remapping CapsLock to Ctrl on Windows is easy with KeyTweak (what I have is 2.3.0 by Travis Krumsick), though I had to select the CapsLock key from the displayed keyboard rather than simply hitting the key. All it appears to be doing is updating the Registry's key mapping values based on the keyboard scan codes. Easily found with a simple search, and it does work on Windows 10 even though it hasn't been updated for 8+ years.

I suspect you'd have to switch to something like Autohotkey for the Esc/Ctrl mapping.
Most terrestrial systems are now using fiber optics ... the speed of photons in a fiber is about 2/3rds the speed of light. The transmission of radio signals in the vacuum of space is theoretically at the speed of light so:

40000 / pi / 2 = 6366
40000 / 2 * 3 = 60000
60000 / pi / 2 = 9550
9550 - 6366 = 3184

Per the above, any satellite Internet system below about 3000 km above the earth will have latency that's competitive with fiber optics on earth (note that I haven't done the simultaneous solution to account for the uplink/downlink distance so it's actually a bit less). For the SpaceX system, there should be better latency than the terrestrial Internet. Please ignore the rounding ... this is a back-of-the-envelope exercise.

Fiber optics are great and far less susceptible to interference than radio - but if you Google articles on how high-frequency trading companies are installing line-of-sight microwave for their networks you'll see that fiber isn't our fastest technology.

The problem is breaking up Amazon or any of the other big tech will just be replaced with another.

The issue is things gravitate to winner take all or at least most. We had tons of ecommcerce companies but now one dominate.

We had tons of search engines and now one dominate.

I believe the issue is the Internet. I was involved in 86 and honestly thought it would be the most democratizing thing ever.

But intuition was wrong and instead it is causing capitalism to break. Instead we are getting crazy concentration with companies and solutions.
It does not, because there's no 1A issue as the first amendment does not grant you any protections from your employer.

Now, as I said before, if you want to have a discussion about whether Twitter and Google and other modern media companies should have some 1A responsibilities in their role as gatekeepers to online speech, that's a discussion that's entirely separate† from Twitter and Google's responsibilities to their employees.

†I would still argue that, despite their relative power over online discussions, Twitter and Google as private entities are not bound by the first amendment in any capacity—nor should they be.

Privates entities aren't required to provide you a soapbox.

First, you have to establish that it was a total breakdown which I think you will have a hard time establishing in any meaningful way. But by all means. Let's hear the argument.
You can make the argument that Bezos is a salesmen. But that is not certainly NOT his primary role... so it's a misleading statement and it doesn't support your main point.

I would argue that this collection of content has a fairly high signal to noise, for someone who is sifting through it critically.
Plenty, here is a selection:

- Nice jobs with plenty of human interaction at local stores get replaced by low-wage, brain-dead jobs in sweatshops (distribution centers) and employees get replaced with self-employed gig workers (transportation services)

- Amazon makes huge profits it immediately keeps reinvesting, so it pays no taxes on gains, reducing the redistribution of wealth

- Of the taxes that would apply, Amazon, like all multinationals, makes use of legal loopholes only the privileged can "access"

- Amazon's data-centers are probably one of the world's largest consumer of electricity - which in turn mostly comes from fossile fuels and atomic energy, therefore polluting the world and driving global warming

- Having a large, controlling piece of the "job pie" means such companies can push wages and prices down, ultimately eliminating the middle class, that was built around SMEs

Learned helplessness would manifest differently than stoicism. In LH you don't take clearly good (for external observer) opportunities because you believe it will all end badly anyway.
Great work, I like it!

When taking on new contributors, you'll need to be headstrong with regard to which features you see as superfluous. You'll get a lot of feedback like "Whaat, no X? A browser has to have X!" and you'll end up with a Chrome-like UI if you give in to everyone's demands. For me, that would be the address bar, because I like to make sure I'm on the right page (rather than a phishing clone) when entering account credentials, but you probably have a good reason for excluding it and need to stand your ground :).

One bit of feedback: You should provide binaries as early as possible so that people can easily try it out and become excited about the project.

Good luck!

Damore cherry-picked Wikipedia articles to claim women are biologically inferior with the intent of causing an uproar, that's not at all "well-meaning".

Evidence-based works too, but I chose scientific because of the falsifiable hypothesis approach. We set it up so that we can eliminate things that don't work from being retried under similar conditions just because a different party takes over.

I wish people wouldn't armchair-quarterback people in situations that are (likely) completely outside of their experience.

I've gone through some helicopter safety training for SAR, and been picked up and dropped off by a UH-60. The pilots spend a lot of time briefing us on all of the things they are nervous about, and there are a lot of things that they're nervous about. All of our gear has to be tight and secure. Don't have our trekking poles on our backs (common). Some of it is about passenger safety -- where and how to approach depending on the situation -- and some of it is about the safety of the craft.

When doing a hoist by air, there are a lot of things that can go wrong and many of them will be fatal for the helicopter. We have a tag line that is used to stabilize a litter as it's being lifted, because rotor wash makes the litter spin dizzyingly (and here's what that looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msw31_dw7hE), and occasionally the tag line or something else will get loose and end up in one of the rotors and then a lot of people have a really bad day (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyuQ-XG7LbY -- the pilot here is a total badass).

The areas around, under, and above the main rotor are completely unpredictable and if the drone ends up in that and gets bounced into the fragile tail rotor, it could kill the pilot and student. The pilot knows nothing about the skill or knowledge of the drone operator; putting the helicopter on the ground is safe and prudent in that situation.
Yes, in the land of the free.

Web Framework Benchmarks: Round 15 (Feb 2018)
I went to the Apple Store in Burlington, MA yesterday (2/16/2018) None of the 'geniuses' there knew about this bug or how to fix it. They reminded me of microsoft drones following a troubleshooting script. 1) Reboot the phone 2) reset the phone 3) do a dfu restore..

After they did this my phone would not recognize its sim card. You see my phone originally had AT&T service. Then I switched to sprint some months back. I guess the dfu restore ended up relocking my phone to AT&T. At least that's what the Apple geniuses said. Then they said I had to go to a sprint store.

This is the first time I was disappointed with Apple's human help. I remember past experiences going in there with a frayed power supply cord - they gave me a new one. On other occasions they replaced my phone when they couldn't fix it. They never spent more than 30 mins trying to fix a problem and always fixed it. Their knowledge was deep. This time their opinions were confabulatory - for example one guy said 'your phone does not have the antennae to work with sprint' EVEN THOUGH I reminded him I walked into the store with a working iPhone using sprint. Another one said that sprint jailbroke my phone and that's how they got it to work. WRONG. Another one said that the phone was 'soft unlocked' and relocked itself after the DFU restore. I felt sad for Apple because I know that's not what they were about.

Then I suggested they replace my phone, the manager lady's eyes bugged out, her voice became stern and said ' There is no scenario where you walk out of here with a different phone'. This is the first time they wasted 5 hours of my time and actually caused me to have more trouble than what I walked in with.

Extending the tangle network to a distributed cloud
This is sort of a good point. I hate this behavior on Amazon's part, and I want them to stop. I would like it if the US government compelled them to stop. The bigger thing to me is how they prevent their customers from using Chromecast solely to attempt to hurt their competitors' products. That is anti-competitive behavior, and in a better world, the US government would compel them to allow their users to stream via Chromecast.

However, it's not that big of a deal if Amazon doesn't sell something. You just buy it somewhere else. I did not have any trouble acquiring a Chromecast when I wanted one, and I doubt anyone else did either. Using some kind of antitrust break-up to fix this would be like using a nuclear bomb to hammer in a nail. For a problem like this, a more targeted approach seems better, at least as an initial cut.

Based on economics, self-driving cars are not necessarily attractive in India.

Consider that in US the cheapest ZipCar is ~$8/hr.

Adding even the cheapest human driver working at minimum wage is ~$15/hr.

Adding a human driver in US makes the trip 3x more expensive.

Or to put it another way: a self-driving trip can be 3x less expensive.

Or to put it another way: a $30 trip from SF downtown to airport becomes $10 trip which is competitive with BART prices.

I don't know what is the minimum wage in India, but per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_in_India per capita income is $1670 / year which is probably less than $1 per hour.

In other words: self-driving cars only make economic sense in countries where humans are expensive.
That's deeply ignorant. Instead of speculating and arriving at the ridiculous idea that the only regulation is staying below 400 feet and away from airports and then anything goes, how about finding the regulation?

§107.23 Hazardous operation.
No person may:
(a) Operate a small unmanned aircraft system in a careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another;

§107.37 Operation near aircraft; right-of-way rules.
(a) Each small unmanned aircraft must yield the right of way to all aircraft, airborne vehicles, and launch and reentry vehicles. Yielding the right of way means that the small unmanned aircraft must give way to the aircraft or vehicle and may not pass over, under, or ahead of it unless well clear.
(b) No person may operate a small unmanned aircraft so close to another aircraft as to create a collision hazard.

I mean come on. If there is an accident someone made a mistake. And if the regulations don't make clear who did what wrong, then the regulations have a mistake in them and need to be extended or clarified.
Learned Helplessness is a really curious subject. I think the current capitalist system in western countries relies heavily on this mechanism - "I must work for many hours, otherwise I will become unemployed, so I am bound to this life" is a thought that kills many people's dreams, and relies on a false belief. In fact, you CAN survive without working full-time, trying to work for yourself on novel things, and it's probably a more fulfilling and engaging life, versus willingly giving all your time to your employer.

I was first introduced to the concept by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMPzDiraNnA
Wow, we came across the same thing while building epimetrics.in back in 2014-2015. We built the analytics engine and tested it in one mega Indian festival called "Kumbh Mela" with over 20 Million people gathering at one place.
In our case, we had to struggle with the sheer amount of people as well.

We learnt a bunch of stuff and right away decided to have offline storage option and send data back to db when connection resumes. We also did the research on how to save battery life and use muscular memory to enable our users to use our system in that setup as efficiently as possible.

But at the end, it was very satisfying when we were leading on the front to spot the diseases. We helped attend over 2 million patients efficiently. If interested, I would love to share our insights plus few decisions which were very helpful for our adoption from health workers as well as govt health department officials.

Good work guys! Keep plugging! :)

Edit: Added festival name.
There is also possible hypocrisy. If they'd invade based on assumption, the headlines would be "corrupt police", and people would leave angry comments about how the system doesn't embrace innocence before proven guilty.

We also don't get a number here about the amount off false/fake/ambiguous tips. Is it a 100, 1000 or 20.000 a week?

Science doesn't need to tell us how most off us experienced or know about guilt.

Shoulda,coulda,woulda..

There are even entire therapy groups dedicated to people who get stuck in a guilt trip who get in a deep depression because they can't stop thinking about what

"they should have done"

after a
traumatic event to prevent it.

This is (scientifically) considered a natural possible response, severity of said guilt seemingly tied to the severity off the occured event.
Which is definitely not what I was trying to argue here.

You implied that one does not need governmental help to protect against Facebook. That's what I argued against. No matter how informed you are about Facebook's practices and no matter how technologically skilled you are, you cannot be sure that Facebook doesn't have your data.
And mirroring of sites like Wikipedia, YouTube, and social media. Interplanetary email (with video attachments too).
You don't need a username and password to pay by PayPal. For Apple Pay you only need to use your username and password when setting it up, if I recall correctly. When you use it to pay you only need your fingerprint (or face if you have a phone with FaceID?).

Cryptocurrencies (at least the currently popular ones) only sort of match what Venmo does from your list. The rest do things that cryptocurrencies do not do, and that most consumers want.

PayPal (if you pay with a credit card), Google Wallet, and Apple Pay provide you the protections that a credit card provides. Seller doesn't provide the goods? Call your card company and they reverse the transaction. If you have a PayPal account as a buyer and pay through a balance on the account, I think you still get protection.

With Bitcoin and I think the other popular cryptocurrencies in actual use for real world purchases you don't have protection. Like Venmo (and Zelle) they are like sending cash, except unlike Venmo and Zelle cryptocurrencies are essentially a foreign currency which adds some headaches to using them.

Zelle doesn't say it is for friends and family only. What they say in their FAQ is:

> Zelle is a great way to send money to family, friends, and people that you are familiar with such as your personal trainer, babysitter, or a neighbor. If you don’t know the person, or aren’t sure you will get what you paid for (for example, items bought from an on-line bidding or sales site), we recommend you do not use Zelle for these types of transactions.

Presumably your tenant is familiar with you, and so Zelle is fine for him to use.

It's essentially equivalent to paying in cash. They should say that somewhere prominent on their site. That would probably clear up a lot of confusion, as I think most people in the United States have a good intuitive understanding of when you should and when you should not use cash.

Yes, the original individual commits are kept alive and never garbage collected from GitHub's copy of the repository. You can get back to them on the website via the "Commits" tab of the PR. Local clones won't contain those branches though unless you explicitly fetch them.
The more water a plant takes, the more CO2 it scrubs from the air, right? That's not entirely bad, I would think.
I didn't run the numbers but I figured as much. I was just trying not to be hyperbolic. :)
If you attack size in general you avoid having to pick winners and losers and merely make a trade of giving up potential peak efficiency in exchange for avoiding potential peak abuse. I'd favor spinning out new ventures over conglomeration. Abuse comes in many forms; what our current market structure is bad at is preventing max efficiency from winning out over human considerations like workplace conditions.

A way to play with that balance in a still-market-based, evenly-applied way sounds very attractive.

Doing it preemptively, based on potential, has strong precedent in the US when applied to trying to restrict government power. Corporations today are large enough that we should start trying to restrict that sort of power in the same way.
That's not quite true. Selling the Wii to the cop was the predicate to his indictment. But he was prosecuted for running a business selling mod chips. They found something like a dozen waiting to to be installed and sold in his workshop, and presented evidence of his ongoing commercial venture at trial.

What really happened here is that he got royally screwed at sentencing. Criminal History Category I, at effectively the base sentencing level for criminal DMCA infringement, and they decided to make an example out of him.
The problem is that some codebases are horrible. They assume a constant ratio or a constant width and it's pretty much a re-write if they want to support other orientations.
