Did you see me casting judgement? I'm just pointing out that there are valid concerns beyond "cute factor".
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated -- Mahatma Gandhi

We don't owe it. But we should treat animals with compassion all the same.

Many vegans & vegetarians aren't really opposed to meat, they are opposed to suffering, and American industrial meat production involves a lot of animal suffering.
In the US, most (all?) convictions are public record, and the ones that aren't public record can still be found by employers who retain background check companies.

From what I understand, merchants can do a quicker swipe (basically record the card # and transaction amount without waiting for authorization), but the merchant fees are slightly higher because of the possible higher fraud/chargeback rate. It's up to the chain to decide on what to do.

Perhaps CFA can do it even better since they could possibly keep a database of bad cards at the edge. Remember those books that cashiers used to thumb through to verify if a card was stolen?
Agreed that it is largely about splitting. SOA starts with that premise - but so do actors and modules, without moving out of process, and those are fine approaches too.

Microservice architecture tells you more about how and where to split - introducing bounded contexts and various patterns you might use.

> - In a microservice-based system, you may end up either with a handful of huge services (a monolith that uses network-based messages instead of function calls/inproc message passing), or with gross inconsistency problems if you force splits in the wrong places.

Sure. You can also write really gross, convoluted monoliths.

> Given the operational overhead and that most startups will never get to large scale, I'd say go with the monolith and try to gain traction with your startup.

As the article states, they found that microservices allowed them to move faster on features, which is something that'll matter a lot to a startup. They do, of course, state that there were upfront costs.

Who Owns Apple? How the Trillion Dollar Apple Inc. Has Changed Hands
Well if you could change the source code on the voting machine it's something as simple as you show the Voter their choice to confirm on the frontend but the backend has been manipulated to always vote for someone else instead. The voter would never know their choice was altered. An example is as simple as the following:

def selectCandidate(voter_id, choice):

if choice == 1:
return {"Voter":voter_id, "Displaychoice": "Candidate 1", "Choice": "Candidate 1"}

if choice == 2:
return return {"Voter":voter_id, "Displaychoice": "Candidate 2", "Choice": "Candidate 1"}

if choice == 3:
return return {"Voter":voter_id, "Displaychoice": "Candidate 3", "Choice": "Candidate 1"}

For everybody who doesn't want to participate in the whole App-Store-Tax economy, I suggest taking a look at Progressive Web Apps which do not need any App Store and work cross-platform. Just be aware that they do not support all APIs, so for some use-cases, they can't compete with the native apps.
OMG I had literally never heard of OANN until referred there by some leftists I follow. They hate MSNBC too. You can't even see the box. You actually believe that it's "right wing" to be skeptical of excuses for war. I am a pacifist who is against all USA military violence of the last several decades. This has been a journey for me, since after all I did vote to re-elect Bush the Lesser. Fool me once.

Leave all that aside. The way to contradict an on-the-ground report the bias of which is obvious and unacceptable to you, is to show us an on-the-ground report that contradicts it, the bias of which is more acceptable to you. This has the benefit of being less insulting than shallow assumptions about my media habits, oh and also it has the benefit of making any logical sense whatsoever, in contrast to the three sentences of meaningless pablum we see here.

Tick-tock.
Somewhere in here you inevitably take some intuitive stance, call it "self-evident," and use it as your premise. This is the problem with formal ethics, I guess; if you can't agree on the premises of the discussion you're just stuck.

I mean, what if we go the other way? Am I a murder for swatting a mosquito and killing it? OK, what makes that different from the fish? Is the fish more like a human or a mosquito? Is unintentional killing of animals the same as intentional? Surely we don't believe that stepping on a worm is equivalent to manslaughter. Well, you get the idea.

To me, the anthropocentric view seems completely natural. In a hypothetical trolley problem with a human and an animal I can't see a circumstance where I'd ever choose to save the animal and allow the human to die. From this thought experiment I appeal to intuition to say that human life is qualitatively different, and of more value, than animal life.

Not really on-topic, but Beyond Meat makes a line of sausages including a bratwurst. This is important to me because I live in Wisconsin and haven't had a brat since becoming a vegetarian as nobody has made a vegetarian version since Boca cancelled theirs. Problem is, the damned things are so popular there's a huge shortage of them.
I'm not making excuses, but what appears to be going on in China is very serious indeed, with possibly one million people being seized and interned in prison camps, breaking contact with loved ones, and never released. The increased staffing at the nearby crematoriums is especially chilling. What kind of response would you expect to see?

Is there no way to win? Despite having more forests and trees, we are still in a worse state than before.

If our greatest environmental efforts can at best end in failure, then those efforts are wasted and we're better off taking no action.
I think it's a legitimate complaint considering how terrible the app store search is. On android, I can never find the app I"m looking for with their search. I always end up using Google search to find the apps I want. And even then, it takes many many searches to find what i want.

Consider the following need: "I want a free running app that can track my weekly mileage". Quite a simple request right? Search through all the top apps on Android app store, it took me a long time to find a good one that met my needs and had this feature.

And, I'm seeing that the top apps aren't always the best ones.
Why would they care, you don't have a choice.
BTW,why is Google having issues with its store in Europe and not Apple? At least you can install an alternative store on Android which is strictly better for the consumer.
I don't have any insider knowledge on this, so your guess is as good as mine on this one :)

If you have an account manager or solutions architect, they can probably help you connect with the right people to ask for details, though.

Why would you goto black hat and use your real name / identity ?
I think parent meant tasty food in general, not that fake meats are equally tasty (even the best aren't). Indian food, for instance, is often vegetarian and tastes amazing.
Right. If this were a competitive market, they'd both be constantly refining their cut to find the optimal value. In practice the 30% was plucked out of the air and has never been changed.
It isn't as easy as you are making it out here, it's a chicken egg problem, really. OS vendors need to provide tools to developers or else there will be no apps. No apps means less users which means no customers to sell hardware/ads to.

Microsoft failed to establish a healthy developer community and had to close the whole smartphone department because nobody wanted their phones. Windows Phone was a very good operating system and had very high quality hardware but because the apps were missing, people bought Android and iOS.

But without the app stores and tools, developers won't get their apps to their customers.

This. This is why how Steam operates is 10x better than the mobile app stores. A 30% fee for getting your app in front of the users who might buy it is one thing. Steam isn't perfect, but they've set up their economic model where they are rewarded for doing this, which is good for both developers and users. This involves personal recommendations, maybe third party curation features, search etc.

If you have an ad-based model, there's less of a reason improve those other systems, since the store might be able to extract 75% of the value created if you get developers bidding against each other to buy visibility. But it sucks for everyone except the app store owner.
We (humans) have different relationships with different kinds of animals, just like other animals do.

We have a symbiotic relationship with companion animals like dogs and cats, work animals like draft horses and service dogs, and farm animals like cows and chicken.

These are all beautiful examples of humans and animals evolving together to provide for each other, leading to the reproductive success of both species.
Release a free app that requires a user to log in. In order to access the content in the app, the user has to log into a web browser with that account and pay directly via the developer's website. Amazon Kindle and Netflix kind of do this. With Kindle, you have to buy the books with a separate app instead of a website, and Netflix has the option to buy inside the app as well as outside.
> Certainly all the ones they've put in concentration camps are never going to love China after what's happened. If they let them out, their stories will only spread discontent among the rest of the population.

China might be looking at how this played out in Russia in the Soviet era. In the 1930s and 1940s, loads of indigenous minority cultural figures within Russia were either shot or sent to the GULAG. While certainly traumatic for individual families, this crackdown did not spur those minorities to rise up in any meaningful way. Indeed, many of the men who had been sent to camps, came back home a decade or two later as pretty typical Soviet citizens who sought in no way to rock the boat ethnically speaking.
In my opinion the 30% fee is reasonable because it provides access to Apple's user base. It's not as though they're specifically obligated to earmark that money to improve the app store itself. The things you're complaining about are valid criticisms, but I don't think the have anything to do with whether or not the fee is appropriate.

In return for 30%, Apple develops and maintains a centralized software distribution channel. It takes care of end to end payment processing, deployment and updates. If you don't believe 30% is reasonable in return for access to that market, you can choose not to develop for that market.

But words like "reasonable" imply some obligation on the part of the company. Why would a company not charge a premium for access to a lucrative distribution channel? Clearly many firms are happy to trade 30% of sales in return for access to that market. From my perspective the issues you've outlined are orthogonal to whether or not Apple's fees are "reasonable."
And the experience is pretty awful. There's little explanation of what's going on or how to actually make the purchase. There's a flow that works for Kindle without leaving your phone.
China seems quite far ahead with their environmental policies.if only we also experienced the same smog to push our politicians into taking environmental politics more seriously
There's also ways to inherit wealth that isn't directly just receiving cash. It can be inheriting your parents' house, car, antiques, or simply inheriting a life that didn't begin in the slums or ghettos.
Yes, but there comes a point when it just becomes rent seeking. It's digital nature for there to be one portal that leads you to everything.
Same here. The Mobile Passport app has been around for what, over two years now?, and the % of people that actually use it is still very very low.

Last border crossing at MIA the Mobile Passport reader guy was standing there all by himself. Cleared in 30 seconds.
> but damn, if you actually make it - good luck scaling that up

It's foolish to think that the initial version you make of any system is going to be the same thing that you end up scaling to a million users and it's foolish to think that you're going to understand where your actual pinch points are going to be before that system is under any sort of pressure. Let alone before you really know what your product is really going to be (which is the situation most startups find themselves in).

The slices you decide to make with the knife early on more often than not look stupid and burdensome once you're actually under pressure.

Most people also underestimate how far it's possible to push monoliths. My favourite example is the OpenStreetMap infrastructure, which has to support thousands of concurrent users editing a global map that is ~105G when compressed. It's largely monolithic. And that doesn't really seem to be a problem. Works well.

I suspect most people have never actually seen the sort of "heavy load" they talk about so much running on a sensibly designed monolith to the point that it's not coping due to its architecture. There's a lot of conceit around how big a load people really deal with.
> Finally if you're going to get people excited about animal rights, it's probably better to mention cows than chickens. To me, Chick-Fil-A's ads suggest eating chicken as a lesser of two evils, without ever saying that eating chicken is evil.

I think it's not published yet, at least it doesn't appear in this list of publications: http://www.chem.ubc.ca/stephen-withers#pane-221

The folks in power don’t care about Muslim minorities (Palestinians, Rohinga, etc.). They care about browbeating the West and Israel, and spreading fundamentalist Islam as an alternative to Western secularization. Complaining about Chinese treatment of an ethnic minority does not serve that purpose.
Ask HN: React Native Equivalent of NativeScript Playground?
"{N} Playground is a solution that allows you to write your {N} code in a web client at play.nativescript.org and deploy it to your device with the help of the NativeScript Playground app (Android, iOS) and the NativeScript Preview app (Android, iOS)"

link to relevant article: https://www.nativescript.org/blog/life-is-easier-with-nativescript-playground

^^ does anyone know of a React Native equivalent? I like {N} Playground as you can dump components in, and see them almost immediately on you device using the app - as a newbie (only have working knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS) it's been a cool tool to see how syntax looks/dive right in.

Colleague showed me this today, and I've been wanting to learn React Native for a while, so figured I'd ask - half curious/half serious
The last time I went through the lines at SFO there was roughly speaking a queue for the machines, and then after that lines for the booths & officers. If one person took 10 minutes on a machine, it wouldn't matter since the machine queue still flowed as did the booth queue. Have they reorganised it again?

This. Distributing your components over a network certainly forces encapsulation, but you can have encapsulation without all the complexities that come with running microservices in separate processes / machines.
Can you or do you draw a line between fish and plants? How about plants and fungi? Fungi and bacteria?

Btw, if you're upset at the reductio ad absurdum asking to extend rights we've decided humans have to fish also has a similar flavor to it. I for example have a logical argument that includes people but doesn't include fish: humans have consciousness, experience, and others (like children) have potential for such and this consciousness usually is and can be at a markedly higher level than most animals.
Justifying price you charge for something based solely on cost, isn't the way that capitalism works.

Price is purely a function of supply and demand. If app makers decide that it's not worth the 30% cut that Apple charges to reach the < 20% of phone users that use iOS, they either can increase their price or not sell on Apple platforms.

But realistically, the developers who are making the most money are the ones doing in app purchases for coins, loot boxes, etc. It's not exactly costing them anything to "produce" more coins.
Don't Apple and Google take 30% of all in-app sales as well? It's like your phone and internet company saying, "Well, guess we're gonna take 30% of all business you do over the phone or internet" or your rental company demanding 30% of your income.
I didn't (and won't) vote on your comment, however I think the down votes are due to the fact that you praised the App store while saying something negative about the Play store. Even HN is not without it's fanboys.
Don't most modern SD cards contain some wear leveling logic?

I did a bunch of research on this a while back and the conclusion I found was: yes, but buy name-brand better rated cards to avoid cheapo cards that do not do wear leveling or do it very badly.

It's nowhere near as good as SSD drives, but it's better than just a naked flash chip... unless I'm wrong.

Yeah, I'd say writing idempotent microservices is pretty important.
When working on a genome project I saw files up to 150gb, and as I understand it these are compressed csv files.its a lot of storage, especially if you unrl this and index it further for performance reasons.

Also the more you compress, the longer the processing time. Some jobs took days, so there was a trade-off. I'm not a genome expert btw, just a devops nerd on a related project.
It is, but whales are pretty close to the top of that slope. If you elected not to kill any animals due to probable sentience, the short list would probably look like dolphins, elephants, and whales.

Petsmart was like the before the chip change over. It would typically take a few hundred MS to get approval and print the receipt.

I have noticed that some chipotle cashiers print the receipt before the card goes through, the CFA cashiers could be doing something similar.
None of those feel particularly relevant to what I said.
At the scale Apple operate None of what you stated above is worth anywhere near 10%, let alone 30%. And for the last few points, they are covered by the Hardware cost which in Apple case cover the software as well. ( Where Windows and Android are covered by other means )

And I don't think you are actually disagreeing with your parents at all. Because all the services they provided and as you have listed are now considered as standard. That is like accepting credit cards and cashiers in Retail stores. They are not providing enough useful valued ON TOP of the standard expected.
> Interesting. It does seem like there's a smattering of other national programs that work in part with Global Entry (many at an additional cost).

I don't understand Venezuela. Really. I've lived through the 10000% inflation times at Brazil, but that's still 2 orders of magnitude shorter than their, and looks like a completely different reality.

What I can say is that society collapse is not a binary thing. Near 1/3 of Venezuela's population already escaped the country, with more gone each day. I'd also bet crime is at huge levels, but there isn't any data I would trust.

I imagine that if you are far from a border there isn't much you can do except continuing going to work. It's not like one can just throw their arm up and say "I'm done with society, I won't take part in it anymore". I also imagine that a large part of their real economy nowadays runs on US Dollars, the rest probably runs on Peruvian Peso, Brazilian Real, and toilet paper.

Besides, until this week gasoline was almost free. So the one thing I would expect to find there is transit.
>He also has some very definite agenda

I don't think this is true at all. You could say that deregulation is his is goal, but you'd have to ignore his opposition to free trade and immigration, which are every bit as central to his policies as tax cuts, and reigning in the EPA.

His agenda is whatever works for him right now. He throws out policy ideas and sees what sticks. Granted it does take some amount of intelligence to recognize what's working and what's not, but I think his success is mostly a product of iteration and luck--he's been sticking his toes in politics since the late 90s.

But let's say he is fairly intelligent--his ability to believe his own bullshit means that he is just plain wrong about as often as someone who is actually just dumb. Completely ignoring his speaking style, he is just constantly, factually wrong. He's wrong about little details that aren't politically advantageous to lie about.

And like you said, he likes to talk, but nothing he's ever written or spoken about gives me any indication that he has more than a surface level understanding of any topic.

monocasa,

HN won't let me reply to your next comment, but regarding:

> a reflection of their religious principles or their political ones

This is actually a common misunderstanding and what I'm trying to explain. "Religious principles OR political principles" means there are actually (at least) TWO categories of ideas a person holds, with specific items (homosexuality, death penalty, etc.) falling inside one of those categories.

That's a secular worldview, and it isn't how Christians think. We have one category: God. God is sovereign, he owns everything including me. As Thomas Aquinas said "all truth is God's truth". When we're being consistent (key caveat), we approach all issues as "what does God want me to do?". Political activities follow from there. We often disagree about those secondary conclusions (what God wants from us regarding issue X), but not the core starting point (ultimate allegiance is to God alone).
