Incorrect. The complaint is that they are not using Location for its intended purpose, thereby impacting the performance (battery life) of the device. Quoted in the article:

> Performance – 2.5.4

> Your app is misusing background location for purposes other than location-related features and functionality.

The key word here is location-related features and functionality. Not "features and functionality" in general, as your comment implies.

I don't think it could be any more clear-cut. "Screen time" is just about the least "location-related feature/functionality" that one could think of. It's pretty clear that they are violating the terms of service, regardless of the benefit that this feature may or may not provide.

In my experience BLM land has a bit too much freedom, so lots of it just turns into Mad Max-inspired 4WD tracks-everywhere wasteland. Of course, that's what lots of people like...
I am not quite certain how much a precedent matters here.

Of the western world we have the US, UK, and Canada that employ common law where precedent really matters.

In most of the EU the system of civil law is used, where the judiciary is expected to be much more literal and to not perform much interpretation or reference to previous interpretations.

Summary: Use a "lag" license.

After some period of time, a proprietary license becomes an open source license. For a twist, there can be a two-stage reveal. First, reveal the source code, but grant no additional rights. Second, license the code under an open source license.

The article doesn't mention any by name, but it seems possible that some companies may have implemented such a plan, if not in such a premeditated way.

I think Rosen calls this kind of license "Eventual Source":

Lacking evidence for state-control, the most you could deductively claim is that there is ideological alignment and existing friendships with openly partisan pundits. A more appropriate label would be cronyism.

As an exercise in objective labeling - given Glenn Greenwald's reporting on the communications and friendships between Clinton staff and press outlets [1] - would all those those news outlets and non-pundit journalists immediately be considered state-controlled media had she been elected? I do not think so either.

I just don't see Apple ever adding a feature as convoluted as dual-boot. That's just about the least Apple software feature they could add.
They’d have to go low across the whole planet, and stay low for a long time to be worrying given the billions of people alive today.
Looking at this and then the 4 examples they give, wow, I appreciate Bootstrap more (saying Bootstrap as it tends to be blamed for conformity of websites now).

The reason why Bootstrap is nice relative to what they give as examples is that while (usually) it looks pretty, the content is what you focus on and not the dissonance that the UI creates. In the case of the art ones, it makes sense as I imagine that was the intent, to flip the focus, so as an art exhibition, that's perfectly fine and good. But as a website, I wouldn't use it.

It reminds me of early days (around 1995. I remember buying No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom CD around this time and their band's URL wasn't a custom domain but something hosted by one of their labels, I believe. Different times). A lot of bands, with Nine Inch Nails being a bigger one, would go for these UI nightmare sites with, my guess, the intent that they're essentially a game of sorts seeking out hidden stuff. Those types of things turned me off (still liked the music though, just not the sites), but I know there are those who loved them so more power to them.
It is relative common for software to need integers larger than 53 bits. It seems quite uncommon for software to require Decimal arithmetic. Do you have a motivating example?

Open Source Automated Data-Wrangling: All your code are belong to us
I think this is mostly scary because as we live longer, we see more health issues and more need to be taken care of, etc, plus we have an expectation of retiring at some point.

If the human norm was to be fit as a fiddle until age 85 and then suddenly drop dead for some reason, then an aging population isn't anything to worry about. This worries people because it means people need to keep working even as their health and energy levels are expected to decline, it's problematic for a shrinking workforce to service the obligation of Social Security and similar programs, etc.

If we don't successfully plan for the consequences, those consequences are more likely to turn into drama, such as government bankruptcy or suddenly de-funding (or reducing funding for) certain programs for people ill-equipped to adapt (because they are old and their health is failing), etc.

I had a great neopolitan style pizza place open in my neighborhood. It was inundated by bad reviews by people who were upset that it was "just floppy thin crust pizza" and so forth.

Over time word got out and its reviews stabilized as their pizza and ingredients are top quality. But man for a while it was all just some idiots who just wanted some dominoes like pizza.
What would you do with such a system that is innovative and not just more of the same?!
yes, this dynamic is by now a well-known moral hazard, and yet we still have this system. why? one reason is because it's advantageous to capital holders, who are more effective at attracting and aggregating that risk-free money (the fairness rebuttal, that non-dischargeability reins in fraud, is a non-sequiter obscuring the main underlying issue).

people rightly correlated education with social and financial success, but wrongly inferred a causal relationship between the two. universities were more a way for the wealthy to identify and promote each other, rather than bestowers of magical money-making skills to all (although it can do that too, but that's not the majority or primary outcome).

so politicians, in an effort to level the playing field, saw that loans were one (minor?) impediment to higher education. in the rush to address that issue (and earn kudos, jobs, money, or whatever), those politicians ignored (possibly willfully) the real, and much harder, barriers to upward mobility. they wanted a clear win, and government-guaranteed loans were it.

and this (simplified) narrative leaves out many other proximal complications. it's very hard to identify the root cause(s) of systemic problems, much less fix them. most people are not incentivized, nor have the patience, to do so. politicians were trying to provide upward mobility, but rather solved a financing problem instead.

(n.b. - i benefitted from government-guaranteed loans to attend a good university that otherwise would have been out of my reach)

I aware of the issues one can have with rebuilding a large raid array. It seems like you will always hit some parity issue upon reconstruction. What is the proper approach here?
The article mentions it only in passing, but in 2019 we'll finally see Cosmic Crisps [0] on the market. These are likely to surpass the Honeycrisp in texture, sweetness, and tart. And unlike the otherwise excellent Honeycrisp, Cosmic Crisps are not susceptible to sun burn nor bitter pit (brown pits on the apple). I'm excited to try them!

Working with handicapped programmers with vision and hand issues I feel programming tools like Mu Pyhton and Blender were invaluable in giving the programmmer graphical feedback. Both Mu and Blender allowed interfacing with hardware in new ways. He is now a biomedical engineer at Medtronics designing physics models for medical devices. He started using Maya, Blender, Logo, Scratch, Python. He was trained at the NM Supercomputer Challenge in 3 Day events at New Mexico Tech in Matlab, Jupyter Notebooks, R Studio, AI and machine learning. He also build Raspberry Pi, Arduino projects after taking algebra in 4th grade and electronics at community college in 5th grade. Computers have allowed him to excel in almost every academic STEM area. He has had internships in bioiformatics and medical device analytics. His programming/electronics skills are not from the classroom but from multiple projects he developed.
Why, RAID6 can rebuild online, because it turns temporarily into a RAID5. Even RAID5 can be used while rebuilding, in read-only mode, because data from the remaining disks is sufficient (else rebuilding won't be possible).
Did you build that yourself? Do you know of any good vendors for this type of workstation? I know building it isn't that hard, but typically an employer doesn't want to go that route.
one noteworthy item from the filing is that they intend to build 200 Gateway earth stations just within the continental United States, which means that the vast majority of satellites will be functioning as Bent pipe repeaters. I don't think that there will be a lot of traffic traveling satellite to satellite in a multiple hop arrangement. 200 sites for their ka band trunk links from satellite to earth station means that a CPE terminal in, for example rural NW Montana might have a 25-30ms latency to a gateway in Spokane, and from there the latency to internet destinations will be all fiber based, same as any existing ISP.

if I had to guess on the earth station siting, they are picking locations which are medium-sized cities with decent terrestrial fiber connectivity, which will be within the same satellite view footprint as adjacent rural areas. Such as an earth station in Boise may serve mountainous remote areas of ID.

This 200 Earth station figure also lends me to believe that the first manufacturing run of satellites may not have any satellite to satellite trunk link ability at all, but that they will ALL be bent pipe architecture. this means that if SpaceX wants to serve a particular area, they need to have an earth station on terrestrial fiber in the same region, which is simultaneously visible to satellites and end users.
This is old (2017) but still fantastic news w/r/t global warming. In a simplified model of:

(Population x Consumption x Efficiency) / Resources

We can either all consume far less, or there can be less of us. I would rather have half as many people living a 2x more efficient and 4x more luxiourous lifestyle in 2100 than twice as many people fighting for water and arable land.
It's more like a sticky market effect than it is a surplus of supply. When I worked in the aviation industry 5 years ago the problem was education costs had increased rapidly while entry-level wages have largely stayed the same. This is the same trend as the overall market, but in aviation the cost-wage differential was especially large. Airlines began to see the the number of college-age, young students entering the pilot industry start to fall. Additionally, the pipeline for new private-sector pilots started to shift: fewer students entered high cost private flight schools while more enlisted in the Air Force which offered better incentives and (more or less) free training at the cost of a 4 year military commitment.

This squeeze led to majors upping their compensation for tenured employees in order to encourage them to stay. This is why Senior Captains have seen increases to their average compensation while entry-level pilots at regionals haven't seen much change (regionals often operate on shoestring margins). This, in the short term works, and even now it's part of the reason that Pilots at majors end up having longer careers at the same carrier than average private sector industries. The benefits in scheduling and pay that they accrue the longer they are at a single airline are some of the strongest employee retention benefits of any industry today. Perhaps not as strong as the pension benefits of the 50's but certainly stronger than Software Engineers which have seen decreasing average employment duration in recent years.

This means that while potential new pilots have been choosing alternative carreers and older pilots stay longer, the age distribution of pilots has become unevenly distributed. There are a lot of older-aged pilots being paid a lot, but there have been overall less pilots entering the industry.

But here's the catch: Airline pilots are one of the only professions which have federal regulations governing age eligibility. That is, pilots must retire at age 65 according to the FAA. This age requirement was increased from 60 back as recently as 2007:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01...

But the FAA added a qualification where international captains over 60 had to be accompanied by a co-pilot under 60.

https://www.airspacemag.com/daily-planet/too-old-fly-1809623...

Point is there is an aging pilot population which, literally, will age out of the profession and not enough younger pilots to fill the gap.

At any rate, the pilot crunch is a really interesting market situation and I haven't been in the industry for 3+ years so my perspective is likely dated.
Throwing the term AI around is like the word Cyber was in the 1990s.
Any population, even of a small town, will have many unique aspects. That won't stop people from generalizing, nor should it if we are to try and understand our environment.

And to be fair, Canada has a population close to that of California. So though it's spread out over an enormous area it may be easier to generalize than the U.S.

Not necessarily ethnically homogeneous; just one that explicitly endorses the ethnic nationalism of the dominant group. For example, Slovakia, Israel, and Lithuania all have substantial ethnic minorities (respectively Hungarian, Arab, and Russian) with varying degrees of protection for minority groups, yet are very much nation-states.
Why is this puzzling to people? Isn't this behavior exactly what we'd want out of intelligent, thoughtful people in high places? The ability to countenance and enjoy interesting and thought-provoking ideas that are contrary to their own immediate interests?
In many (most?) cases you can. But you may need a permit to enter some areas, which may or may not require a fee (if it does require a fee, it's usually pretty small). For instance https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/wpres.htm

Usually these fees are for multiple days. For Yosemite: car fee is valid for a week(there are other deals if you want to stay for longer or visit multiple times an year). The wilderness permit... I don't really know. You do have to submit start and end dates for each trip, but the fee covers the duration.

EDIT:

Also Yosemite: it appears that foot traffic is charged too. https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/fees.htm

That highly depends on the park.
I agree with you that it shouldn't be used to dismiss arguments, but I do think most contentious policy issues boil down to to fundamental values.
Journalism is the practice of collecting information about people and disseminating it without their consent. Otherwise you’re just redistributing press releases.
I think it's an absurd saying. Obviously, "less" is not "more". However, there may be situations where "less" is "better" (even if measured in a biased way, according to personal taste).

For example, I've heard the phrase used in musical settings. Maybe telling the bassist, "play more simply! less is more!"

Well, no, less is not more. More is more. But less is what you prefer to hear, and think works better in the context of the song.

That said, by usually playing "less", if you were to occasionally play "more" for emphasis, then that brief flourish of "more" might sound even more "more" than it would if you played "more" for the entire song. So in that case, "mostly less plus occasionally more results in the more sounding even more then playing mostly more"...
This has probably nothing to do with them losing advertisers, but I really dislike the app UX. Examples:

1. Videos auto play in the app, stopping my music or whatever else I'm listening to. And I can't disable that feature.

2. Frequent crashes and other glitches (eg, the Recent category doesn't actually show many of the places I visited today).

3. No way to save default settings, like sort by rating. So with every search I have to manually set those preferences. Similarly, no way to save searches or even to go back to a previous search I just ran.
Don't forget: Pack it in, Pack it out. Keep our parks clean.

> Put another way, no one wants to be the next Japan. Capable but ultimately stagnant.

Huh? I would LOVE to be the next Japan, as opposed to the next South Africa, Israel, India, Philippines, or Brazil.

Because with the massive demographic changes caused by immigration into Europe, they are ensuring unending ethnic conflict. The best they can hope for is that the different people can carve out their own enclaves and leave each other alone, only having small wars flare up occasionally.

The problems that Japan is facing are a BLESSING compared to the rest of the 1st world.

Nobody talks about the upsides of Japan's population decline. Japan is going to experience a major redistribution of wealth, as fewer people inherit more things. Land that was locked up for centuries is going to be sold to new people. Housing will become more affordable. Already, the chronic crowding is becoming less of a problem, as Japan has essentially "finished" their major infrastructure, and there are no new plans to build any new train lines or anything like that.

Something like 30% of our jobs are going to be eliminated in the next 20 years as self driving vehicles are rolled out.
Even if immigration were cut to 0, we are still facing a work crisis regardless.

A different question is why is DRAM still colocated with the CPUs, and not centrally located over a very fast network? There was a company doing this (RNA Networks, founded 2006) which was sold to Dell and then apparently disappeared without trace.

It might make more sense now that there are more types of memory-like storage which isn't quite as fast as DDR4, like Optane.
Absolutely agreed. One thing I've noticed though is that they are harder to find for some reason. The stores near me have gallons of red delicious, gala, fuji, and granny smith. Honeycrisp is a nice find, and pink ladies I have to remember where I bought. Do people really like those common garbage apples, or just buy them because they are cheaper?
> If it was your own family at a wedding? Seriously? You can tell us with honesty that you would classify the brutal murder of your own family as worthwhile because there was some resistance fighters in your country that happen to be in your area and a foreign power wanted to eradicate them with air to ground missiles? Hmm. It cannot possibly be true.

I wouldn't be happy about it. But these things are inevitable consequences of war. People get shot accidentally by the police, here, in the United States. We try our best to minimize it, but it happens. It is an inevitable consequence of law enforcement. If one of my family members were accidentally killed by a cop, I would be upset. I'd want to understand the specifics of the incident, and see if perhaps the cop was being negligent in some way. But, if they were not being negligent and the situation had warranted it, and it was just an unfortunate accident, then I would not be angry with the officer, or the department.
