Apple has long allowed content producers to give away an app at no cost on the App Store and then sell subscriptions to access their content through their own website.

>publishers can sell digital subscriptions on their web sites, or can choose to provide free access to existing subscribers. Since Apple is not involved in these transactions, there is no revenue sharing or exchange of customer information with Apple.

https://mashable.com/2011/02/15/apple-subscription-model/

The sticking point in my eyes has been that the free app cannot provide a link to the website where you buy a subscription to the content.

>Apple does require that if a publisher chooses to sell a digital subscription separately outside of the app, that same subscription offer must be made available, at the same price or less, to customers who wish to subscribe from within the app. In addition, publishers may no longer provide links in their apps (to a web site, for example) which allow the customer to purchase content or subscriptions outside of the app.

I think we’re saying the same thing. Apple can do whatever it wants with it’s ecosystem but it doesn’t matter to Netflix. Netflix customers and Apple customers can be the same people but they are indifferent to how these companies interact with eachother. “Apple” customers expect Netflix on their devices and “Netflix” customers expect to be able to consume their content on whatever phone they happen to have.
We need a microprocessor revolution of energy storage and dissipation (getting smaller but storing twice more every two years kind) to actually fulfill most of the other things in the list.

Then next time someone finds an Amazon bug, they should release it 0-day on their blog for the lulz^H^H^H^H credit.

Its a small mercy that one does not find the global minimum of DNNs. Given their number of parameters and no explicit regularization term, they would overfit viciously. The inability to reach the global and the jiggling around imposed by stochastic gradient descent acts as implicit regularization
Facebook does not just host content.

I would agree with you that Facebook should not be an arbiter of truthful news or stop hate.

But they are indeed an arbiter. They continue to push content to users to keep them consuming their product. They promote content that makes people engaged and that usually means content that makes people angry.

If they stop inserting posts from sources users don't follow and not rank stories from friends, I would agree with you.
That is around 6 - 7 Million of users, their Annual Revenue is roughly $15B, so ~5.6% of its users coming from iOS in App subscription. Not too much of a risk I would say, and Netflix, just like Spotify doesn't want to fund Apple Music / Apple TV development.

This is a shitty replacement for Hilbert's list. Hilbert had 25 problems in mathematics: when you solved them, you knew you had, or at worst you would wait for peer review to confirm you got it.

No one will ever solve, to pick one, "Alternatives to paid labor for most humans". It's already happened for some people, will never happen for some people, and won't necessarily be a good thing if it happens for many people. The items on this list are overwhelmingly people and political problems and - even if they are laudable goals in general - don't belong in the same breath as Hilbert's.

Related is something which bug me about online ratings: there is just no way to know which of the people who voted on a category of products have anything like the same idea of "quality" as you do. I've certainly bought absolutely awful stuff online which had a 90%+ positive or better than 4/5 star rating. What ends up happening is that analysing the ratings of hundreds of thousands of customers is very often less valuable than chatting to a single person who has had a good experience with a single product. This is how flawed online ratings are.
Its similar to L2regularized logistic regression not the pure logistic regression. Although in your defense pure logistic is not used that often. I find the large margin view very intuitive -- one finds a separator such that the labeled data points are separated and lie as far as possible from the line
Like you hinted, flashing Sonoff-Tasmota firmware on ESP8266 hardware lets you get A LOT of home automation equipment for fairly little. They make many devices and someone getting started should checkout the Sonoff-Tasmota for supported devices AND check out Sonoff.

If you don't want to use a Sonoff Basic or maybe the bigger 4 channel option, I'd suggest getting some of their wall adapters like the S31 (think Wemo wall plug). There is a confirmed flash for Sonoff-Tasmota & ESPurna for it and would let someone dip their toes into cheap home automation with MQTT.
Thanks. I read the Bart Miller papers for professional reasons late last year. It is very, very helpful to read contemporary discussion of this topic.
Funny aside: I've seen a lot of anecdotes on HN and from friends that having a smartwatch negates the need for your phone to be out all the time. New technologies create new problems that create new technological solutions all the time, I guess.

I upvoted you because you have a completely valid point, but I don't think this is the case here.

The people that were fired had some really bad performance, and the team itself agreed on the metrics beforehand. Also, it took about a year after they were fired for the problems (other than their slowness) to start.
My understanding is that this Facebook program only focuses on cases where involuntary intervention feels justified, e.g. someone publicly saying that they're going to kill themselves.

But I agree that it would be great if there were more tools to help with self-awareness and guide people to get help. I've had plenty of mental health problems in the past, and any source of better self-awareness seems useful, even outside the context of seeking professional help. Still, at least with my Facebook usage, it seems very unlikely that it ever would be able to know when I'm depressed except when I'm already in the process of getting help from a friend.

This sort of thing already exists a little bit. A much tamer variant I've seen is Nintendo games that tell you to take a break when you've been playing for a while. And Google searches involving suicide show the message "You're not alone. Confidential help is available for free." and direct you to the suicide prevention hotline.
Thanks for your point about BLUE and regularized solutions. I had not considered that point of view before
How is this even legal? I don’t think this happens in any other liberal democracy.
The purely technical achievements I think have a much better chance than the ones that have a social component.

Issues where you have a human adversary are much harder. Each advance may be met by the adversary advancing to maintain their advantage. Human Trafficking is an obvious example where there is an active adversary, but recent times have particularly shown the vulnerability of Democracy to malicious actors.

As a Norwegian with no affiliation, a huge shout-out to Sbanken (earlier Skandiabanken) for providing anyone with no setup fee (at least when I got mine almost 20 years ago), free unlimited accounts, no credit or debit card fees (even abroad!) other than a standard yearly renewal fee, and all-round fantastic service. Their "secret" is so simple it's ridiculous: they are online only - all services are through their web site. They also enforce multi-factor authentication using any one of several services, most of which can also be used with other banks and government websites. I've many a time longed for something like it while living in various other Western countries, but for some reason (regulation, inertia?) there seems to be nothing like it elsewhere.
For many social media, dating, discussion forum apps where users want to be notified of DM's or replies to their threads push notifications is essential. Just because you don't think its valuable for you doesn't mean users shouldn't have the choice.

> Most people have one cable TV subscription. Which means if you want HBO on your cable TV box, you can only subscribe through your current cable TV provider. You can call this a monopoly if you like, doesn't make it wrong or illegal.

> People have told me they've been in the middle of a turn behind a Waymo car, when all of a sudden the car just randomly stops for no apparent reason, leaving them stranded in the middle of the intersection as the light turns red.

How does that work? My driving experience is limited, and only in Australia, but I can't think of a situation where I'd be allowed to enter an intersection if there is already a car ahead of me that's still in it.

Edit: I'm getting downvoted so maybe I didn't explain it right. Here's a quote from AU law: It is against the law to enter an intersection if you cannot drive through and into the road you plan to enter. However, when turning right, you can proceed into the intersection and wait near the centre of the intersection for the oncoming traffic to pass (as long as it is safe and the road you are turning into is clear). So from my POV it's pretty unfair to blame Waymo for getting stuck in a situation when it's only your law breaking that's making it so dangerous.
Two that come to mind are trouble sleeping and lack of concentration, plus maybe social withdrawal (at least from most friendships). But still, seems like a stretch; most depression symptoms are pretty unambiguously negative.
I think you're thinking of the Pycom hardware. It's not quite as pricey as you referenced, but far more than the ESP32 based units. They also have a more formal ecosystem around their products, so for some that may be worth the price delta.

Let alone that some are just dubiously ambiguous. What does "transmutation of matter to different elements and structures" mean?

Yes, that was my point — that if you visit China with a non-Chinese Android phone, the phone will get apps from Google Play. Without a VPN, it won't be able to access Google Play, putting you in a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation. So you need to install the VPN before you visit.
The client cares but the server needn't, and since they're saying it needs a certificate from Lets Encrypt I presumed it's a server.

For a server the certificates are just a pile of bits to be transmitted. Server software could be introspective but in general it isn't, e.g. it doesn't do AIA chasing.

But you're correct that I had misremembered the root as being 4096 bit and it's actually 2048.
Cheap boards like the ESP-12F (ESP8266) allow you to remotely control a device or receive sensor data, like that from a DHT11 temperature-humidity sensor. Instead of paying a lot of money, you can flash your own firmware on a device and make your own custom IoT device.

MQTT is a messaging protocol used to communicate with the device. You can use something like Mosquitto to communicate with your new IoT device. It is lightweight protocol and easy to work with.

You'd use something like an ESP32 – which has Bluetooth – if you want a simple BLE beacon, otherwise if you don't need Bluetooth then an ESP8266 device would likely work better.; If you want to look at related videos, I'd suggest looking at the YouTube channel Andreas Spiess publishes with various devices. He has a few videos on BLE and ESP32 (ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNoFdKgvskU) where he goes into detail.

I don't think he necessarily means elements in the chemistry sense of the word. By elements he probably just means new physical materials (e.g. graphene), and by structures he's probably talking about things like nanobots or 3D chips. (I could be completely wrong, but just a guess.)

I think this needs to be suffixed (2017). The latest spec version (1.12) is dated August 1, 2017. And there isn't any newer press release.

That being said, Mellanox did in 2018 announce a static demo of an OSFP module (http://www.mellanox.com/blog/2018/04/first-showing-mellanox-...), but I don't see any products listed. Nor do I see anything from Cisco.

So, my guess is that QSFP-DD has won. Either that, or (if OSFP does have better heat dissipation) OSFP will only be used in long-haul applications.

If you had a stronger grasp on the IAP rules you'd understand that many of those services don't fall under the IAP requirement because they exist 'outside of the app' or are real world products being sold. No, you don't have to pay Apple 30% on the 12 pack of toilet paper you bought on Amazon, or the Uber, or a Cable TV subscription. So this isn't the correct comparison central to your argument.
I've endured Datomic for 4 years and I really wonder what the folks who enjoy it are doing, because for me it us utter misery.

- Resource leaks (the Cassandra backend used to leak full databases!)

I've been up to 3:00 a.m. dealing with bugs in Datomic. What use cases does it actually work for?

Thanks! I'd heard this phenomenon referred to as "the imp of the perverse" but I didn't know the source.

I've always thought it was some mental phenomenon where any sufficiently strong result ('don't jump') automatically comes with a weak inverse result ('jump!'). Never figured out whether it was some kind of mental self-check mechanism to catch strongly held false beliefs, or whether it's just a quirk of the way nerves work (sort of like a mental after-image), but I definitely get it. (And it's not just about jumping personally, if I'm standing holding a laptop near a long drop I'll feel a shadow of an urge to hurl it off... it's really weird.)
