Exactly. It seems that fast chips in slim laptops are like fast chips in phones. They may be worth having for performance on 2-second tasks, and might keep up with a desktop there.

If what you care about is performance on 2-hour tasks, there's just no chance, that's a completely different thing.

Great article. There is an increasing demand for project management on development but at the same time, too few developers make the switch. As a result, more and more folks are getting technical. The biggest issue I've seen is the lack of control over the development team as a non-technical guy. A lot of entrepreneurs and managers don't know if they're getting their money' worth. Since I've been facing this issue myself along with a good number of entrepreneurs I encountered, I started working on a product to give more clarity. We're still battling with some tweaks here and there but would love some feedback from non-technical guys to further improve it. Feel free to check it out --> https://waydev.co/ and of course, reply here or grab me by email for any feedback or discussions (alex@waydev.co)
The content of the article looks at trends: it looks at productivity in countries tending to be at one end of the hours worked scale versus productivity of countries at the other. Comparing a Mexico and Costa Rica directly wouldn't work but looking at the tendency for those countries to trend toward one side of the scale does.

There is a great book on the Romanovs by Montifiore which covers the grisly end and the events leading up to it.

> Blockchain is all I work on

Yeah I know a few more of those people and I don't understand how they're convincing innocent people that they need blockchain and that they should pay you money to implement 'the future'.

> If the original build of the game has already generated an encryption key

I'll take that to mean "if the server already generated a key, unique for each purchase, that is put in the game and also stored on the server."

> then tampering with the origonal build in memory will result in generating and invalod key

No, why? You never explained how you got from "distribute license key with game" to "invalid key when you modify the memory".

> thus changing the ledger or the stored key on the server

?!?!?! There are so many steps missing in your "explanation". Who says the game has internet? Who says the cheater didn't block the license servers? Who says the cheater didn't emulate what should have happened alongside his modified version and is submitting that to the server? Who says the cheater didn't cut out the licensing part altogether?

This is making zero sense so far.

> If this happens then it invalidates your build and the distributed ledger would need to updated, but since that is not allowed in this instance all ledgers would reject your change and flag the block and the account.

So... other game clients would see that your key is invalid, is that it? Not the licensing server hosted by the developers, but the other clients would be doing the blocking?

Alright, let's say it were so: there is a blockchain with all the license keys and your license key is computed as a hash of all your RAM memory contents. You submit this hash of your memory to other game clients when you communicate with them. Every network packet needs to contain this, or else they will refuse to process the packet at all. Other clients can look up valid keys in the blockchain.

Then firstly, you don't need a blockchain. What you're looking for is a relational databa -- scratch that, you need json -- oh wait, not even that. No, what you're really looking for is a plaintext file. What in the world does blockchain have to do with publishing valid license keys?!

Secondly, you have a huge list of valid license keys published, ready to be picked up by cheaters. Don't you think anyone is just going to look at that list, be it in blockchain format or in json or in plaintext, and replace their signature field with one of those keys?!

Thirdly, your RAM continuously changes. It's not as if you can play without getting a new signature a few million times per second, with each write operation to RAM. But let's say we only do it once per frame, so 60 times per second. Then you need to know what all the possible states are going to be... you know what, this is making zero sense. Tying some key computed from your game state to a license is nonsense.

I would think you're a troll but your messages seem just a little bit too long for it, it seems like too much effort... but I kinda do think you're a troll. The more I think about what you're saying, that's the only logical explanation.
You can’t choose what happens is the default on an iPhone. If I want to use Gmail to open mailto links I cannot. If I want to use chrome to open web links by default, I cannot.

On Android you can pick whatever apps you want as the default.
What makes you think so? WebAssembly is about making it possible to compile from any language into subset of javascript (which is well JIT-table), it doesn't say nothing about neither which layout/gfx engine the apps will use, nor about any ISA. Many want the bindings to DOM, actually.

What's Apple Maps then, if not "trying to tap markets they don't own and to force their own ecosystem into those markets"?

Apple tied together iOS and their own apps for a long time. Although Google provided the map data, the maps app on iOS was Apple's and for the longest time they banned anyone from writing competitors to it (ditto for music apps etc). They now pre-install their own maps app and prevent competing apps from actually becoming the default.

Your second paragraph is just wrong. Nobody is forced to use the Google apps. They're sold as a bundle and you can use Android without buying them. That's what it means for Android to be open source. Google can't "force" third party firms to do anything, especially not TV vendors where apps hardly matter.

Your third paragraph is also wildly wrong - how can it be impossible to start a new video streaming business when just yesterday there was a big discussion here on Hacker News about the stall in growth of Netflix and how their content library is poor because content providers are all setting up their own streaming services? There are lots of video streaming services around today and more are being created all the time. There's even one in France (dailymotion).

Thanks to Google they can even create apps for their services and it's easy for those apps to be installed on new smart TVs. YouTube is hardly the only streaming service, I routinely watch Netflix and watch shows I bought off iTunes.

The entire world doesn't suddenly owe something to Google just because they made something open source.

What a horrible attitude. Google doesn't owe the world open source code either. It's a gift. You might decide you don't like that gift, but the code is Apache licensed. It literally comes with no strings attached. You can do what you want with it.

But the fact that you feel it's impossible to set up something as basic as a video streaming service says a lot about the European mentality, to be blunt. I see America setting up video streaming services left right and center. There's Hulu, HBO Now, Disney's new service, Vimeo, Facebook and Twitter have integrated services. It isn't impossible. What you mean is it's easier to let other people do the work and then demand they pay big fines than to set up a company and compete.

Android being an open source OS is nowhere near as easy to install as a regular linux open source OS.

I've been trying to get my own android / androidTV box working on popular hardware like rPi and other Amlogic, Allwinner, Mali based boards without much success. Even devices manufacturers have troubles with the same (talking about SBCs here).

Android is open source only for name sake. Google's deliberate control over the entire Android ecosystem is undeniable.
He's not saying it'll work for everybody but that people should have access to a treatment option which may work for them.

I have a feeling people do a bit more research.

But it's true especially for people with mental illness that hallucinogens should be taken with extreme care.

Of course. A laptop, no matter how powerful and well designed, is always going to be a compromise compared to a desktop, in terms of raw power and relative cost.

The tradeoff is convenience, where you would have single machine that is able to fill all your needs (power and mobility), instead of two.

But, for me at least, in the end it's not worth it. Also, cloud and sync services made working in parallel on multiple machines almost painless.

I understand that you can look at this in a way that makes it seem like Apple's tight control over iOS is equivalent to Google's tight control over Android, but there are some key differences:

a) Android has market share dominances (likely around 75% in Europe in 2018)

b) iOS is not made available for other companies to use

You could make arguments that iOS behaves unfairly to third party developers and end users, and there are some decent arguments to be made there, but none of them are relevant to antitrust law because a) means there is no market dominance to abuse with, and b) means there are no competitors to be abused.

You said "Most phone makers don't [skip Google services] because customers prefer the Google services, but that's not Google's fault". I think this gets to the heart of the disconnect between your stated position, and the legal reality here (IANAL though).

If Google's services are supreme because of user choice, then Google should require no legal arm-twisting to push those services onto devices.

Instead, what has happened is that Google has over-reached with its Android services contracts (one example - if you want to use Google services on one Android phone, you can't make a second Android phone that uses your own services), and that is what the EU is tackling here.
You're missing the forest for the trees. The example was illustrative.

In general, when you see an example that explains a complex issue you should assume that it is significantly simplified and therefore will not be realistic.
> you can always dual-license though

Exactly. So no practical difference. Just a religious one.

Couple of megabits from time to time, not even every night, is not a HUGE or a MASSIVE traffic, neither it has to be "premium". It's very normal traffic, on the lower end even. It's just some ISPs are monopolies and want to abuse their position and extort money from anyone they can, despite the fact that customers pay them to literally provide access to those services.
From my experience, and this may be because of the industry I am working in, the overall idea is "dont". That is not to say that it doesn't work for other sectors & I'm pretty sure there are lots of evidence to say otherwise, but you should certainly consider if it is appropriate for your target market.

My cold outreach email campaigns have generally been met with silence, with the occasional response of "Looks great but not for us right now", or "We pick our own security tools, so if you show up in our research, we'll reach out to you".

Looking back on it, I completely agree with the responses I have had - if I was on their side of the fence, I would certainly just archive the email & ignore it. With this in mind, I think the effort is probably better spent doing research and content based marketing - getting eyes on your site and/or content for people who are clearly already interested in what you have to say or what you are up to.

I couldn't disagree more. Maybe in more primitive societies it hasn't - yet - but in Anglo-Saxon communities this is exactly what has and is changing. Today both women and men are praised for not only their power, but intelligence, integrity, communication and art among many other traits. As well as both men and women are praised today for their beauty, style and charm.

The policy no longer applies but for a long time, from the start of the app store, you weren't allowed to make apps that "duplicated the functionality" of the built in apps.

Probably UK, because iOS marketshare in UK is very close to 50% (52% Android, 46% iOS [1]). For curious, in some countries there is much more Apple iPhone users than Android users, like in Liechtenstein (58% [2]) or Monaco (64% [3]).

First of all, Android is not only used on phones, but also for other types of embedded devices.

It's very normal that a company B would want to go to company A, if A already have a lot of expertise in Android. For instance a POS manufacturer might want to collaborate with Sony or Samsung on an embedded device which uses Android internally (without the GApps & stuff), but Sony and Samsung are forbidden from dealing with B.

Even Amazon would be happy to outsource some Android development to e.g. Samsung but they can't.
