That is a bit circular to say developers like Apple because they like money, thus Apple is not truly liked for itself.

Apple was successful in building a platform because it's in house developers were capable of putting together something that was popolar with many people. They built on that to make more money by allowing other developers to use their platform.

However two things come to mind:

1. Competency is not a moat. If Apple loses developers it's next product will not be so much better than competition that it's success will maintain against erosion.

2. For all people talk about associating with necessary evils; when you associate with someone long enough, you begin to think they are not evil. Thus it seems reasonable to think developers do not hate Apple, if they work with Apple.
Apple II did use ASCII. But ASCII defines 128 code-points. The other 128 code-points are specific to the character encoding or "codepage".

They don't like Apple's "idiot" character encoding (which is custom, Apple II specific), so they throw away the top bit with the AND leaving only ASCII characters.

To me they pretty much all sound like the patent trolls that do this old business stuff but "on-the-internet" (it's and old meme..., ossuary if it's not funny). Putting a video of yourself talking doesn't make it "online", it makes "on-demand" like Netflix. I want "online" as in: we had an online meeting with the director of the job site because it was unpractical to drive there in time, online!!!
Considering that you're advocating for rigorous empirical standards, and considering that in the case of economics, a full THIRD of articles submitted to two top tier economics journals could not be replicated, which is quite similar to the 7/20 article admissions rate these hoaxers managed, what empirical evidence do you have that suggests this is outside the norm for a multitude of disciplines not necessarily related to your area of examination?

I'm really glad you're now saying that you just have the opinion that these papers and disciplines are absurd, because I'd consider that claim, stated as a fact, to be the realm of experts in the field. Presupposing the discipline is absurd would require you to have a deep knowledge of the field, which I'm not seeing much evidence of, here.

I used to hate Turkish Delight until I bought my girlfriend some posh Turkish Delight for her birthday from Hotel Chocolat.

This stuff was basically pure Turkish Delight in powdered sugar, and it was lovely. It had a hint of lemon and rose, had a nice consistency, and while the sugar was annoying it was a lovely (albeit pricy) treat.

Her niece and nephew absolutely loved it too, and between the four of us the box didn't last too long. They weren't fans of the standard mass-produced chocolate one though. They thought it was too strong, and didn't like the fact that it was "like jelly".
Consider that Apple also stated this a few years back:

>"We have never heard of PRISM. We do not provide any government agency direct access to our servers, and any government agency requesting customer data must get a court order."

Their whole business is built around lying to customers.
Those honestly can't be good, well-thought-out tickets, though.

There's a big difference between

* criminal justice (where you mete out punishment, and want to act only against confirmed bad people (and in case of doubt, you don't act), and therefore you require very strong evidence against someone), and

* examining candidates for one of the most elevated positions in government (where you hand out power, and want to appoint only confirmed good people (and in case of doubt, you don't appoint), so fairly weak evidence against someone is enough.)

That's not really a particularly hard distinction to grasp.

In 2018, you need a web browser to view the web. Plus uBlock Origin. Plus I don't care about cookies.
A mere web browser respecting web standards to the letter would not suffice.

To publishers: I'm not interested in you tracking me just for reading one text article from your website. Asking me is non-sense. Who the hell wants to customize their "tracking experience". I just want to access the content.

I'm fine if you don't want me to read the article without your tracking stuff. Please block me. But don't ask me. This is creepy and this wastes everyone's time and bandwidth. Go to a street and ask people if they would like to be followed and if they would like to customize this experience. Hell no. I don't want to. Leave me alone.

You may not care about me, but I'm sure I'm not alone. Many people are actually confused and afraid of these questions and run away. I've heard that from several people these last weeks.
This contradicts (correctly) the supposed proof that you cannot beat the market on average (since the index funds are the average). Clearly the index funds must be slower to the punch in some sense and thereby lose out to active investors.

I have the same thing with baklava, 90% doesn’t taste good but you always keep looking for the 10% that does. Whenever baklava is on the menu, I need to try it, but none of the fancy restaurants I’ve been to in the US do it really well (the $4 per piece ones), but the cheap corner store on Post & Powell in SF surprisingly has one of the best (and they get it from some bakery in Oakland but refuse to tell me which one).

In my view Solid is trying to provide a technical solution to a problem that isn't technical.

The internet and web are already decentralised technical solutions.

But self-hosting is not a feasible solution for people and network effects mean that they'll gravitate to a few platforms.

That's simply the way it is.

Google, Facebook, etc. naturally emerged and similar near-monopolies will emerge with any other technology providing a decentralised network, including Solid.

That's the interesting bit. Having done so much to hide the exploit your most important aim is to hide it's presence. Anything that would just "connect to a Chinese server" would be discovered immediately. If the Bloomberg story is true, the network traffic scheme must have been extremely sophisticated to fool so many network security specialists at top companies for such a long time.

This, or the story is false, purposely or not.

The short answer is that no, there is no simple way to get users to self-host your software. Perhaps developers prefer it that way? It certainly helps keep the SaaS model going.

Remember that what a developer deems 'simple' matches no known definition of the word amongst ordinary users.

> But ASCII defines 128 code-points. The other 128 code-points are specific to the character encoding or "codepage".

ASCII is a character encoding, and it's a 7-bit encoding. It has no code pages.

There are many 8-bit encodings / code pages that are ASCII supersets (including the Apple II one), however.

I agree with you. Session cookies do not require consent but settings-related cookies do and this is a bit silly.

But it got worse with GDPR (which I think is good, contrary to the previous law), and I don't care about cookies seems to take care of some of this mess.

edit: but actually I don't set settings on random web pages, therefore they should not need my consent anyway. My consent could be asked the first time I set a setting, this would not be intrusive. So maybe the cookies law was not that bad either.
Is there enough heat energy from a datacenter to -- rather than heating oceans (which can result in tropical storms) -- turn a turbine (to convert heat energy back into electrical energy)?
Watching the video I was struck by my own experience of creating a virtual art gallery (of real world photography and 3D renders) in Second Life.

It felt really amazing when I was alerted by a sensor in the gallery that someone was visiting it and I could teleport back to the gallery to meet them. Their location in the virtual space (which pictures they were stood in front of) said something about the pictures that they liked. I could read something about their personas from the avatar they were using (especially in conjunction with other scanning tools). My own little gallery was just one of many and other organisations and groups created much more impressive interactive environments (admittedly a lot of them seemed to be for various forms of role-play, some very unsavoury).

The promo video shows the participants in effect in a completely conventional conference room - one screen and chairs around a table. The wider space doesn't seem to contribute functionally at all - it's a pretty backdrop but doesn't display more info that contributes to the meeting. So I'm curious - could this sort of capability be used to create more dynamic interactions - or are we limited by the tech (tethered interaction by seated people) to more constrained situations? (please don't get me wrong - I'm supportive of the concept - but I'm encountering pushback from colleagues and customers who don't see the potential)

I hope we get a "right to repair" law in EU, where the seller is required by law to provide repairability services next to their regular warranties. That means that, as a seller, you must provide a service to repair (and replacement parts) for "reasonable" prices for anything you sell.

For example, if you're selling notebooks, you must be able to provide notebook parts and repair as well for the products you sell.

Context: Imagine dropping your macbook and the screen breaks; You must be able to get it replaced for a "reasonable" price and you must be able to buy a replacement screen to repair it yourself. The seller must provide these services (either by delegating it to a repair or repairing it themselves)

I said one side takes politics more seriously, that's what I said. But sure, if you believe in democracy then their behavior isn't exactly conducive to a well functioning democracy, now is it?

> When one side refuses to compromise on anything

That's hilarious. The republican party is the democratic party, just 10 years behind. It compromises on everything. The beautiful Republican party features the likes of marxists turned neocons because they took an interest in Israel (or so Wikipedia says).
That’s analogous to saying “don’t complain about the stalkers, complain about the police for requiring stalkers to tell you they’re stalkers”.
"Most developers are just normal people makin' stuff because their company pays them to."

And normal people do have feelings. So they like or love the things they do, or despise or even hate them.
Unless they became mindles zombies along the way.. which happens, but much more common is rather that they project all the other negative feelings into technology X or Y ... at least it often seems like this, when I read another rant about the technology Z.
Why would you ask such a weird question? Is Apple an all-encompassing, lifetime sect? all or nothing? I like developing on my MacBook but I hope to God I will never have to write a line of code for the walled garden iOS, though I may not even get a choice at some point. Sometimes Apple makes very nice and useful things, sometimes some things they make are really shitty, other large parts of what they do I hate very much, like their monopolistic control freak tendencies.
