Possibly. But then, we've always been good in solving problems with tools. Could we reduce the necessary "10k" learning by building better tools for accessing knowledge?

Right now, scientific papers are a shitshow, and even refined and systematized knowledge in textbooks isn't as accessible as it could be in the digital age. Could we encode knowledge in more powerful tools allowing us to explore through free-form simulations?

The goal here would be to make discovery of promising solutions more time- and effort-efficient.

Related, I feel we need to figure out a way to systematize information in scientific papers to make mining them for cross-cutting insights possible. I suspect there are lots of discoveries hiding in plain sight, if one knew which particular papers from which disciplines touch on the same underlying phenomenon or concept.

The very first paragraph of "Apple Developer Enterprise Program License Agreement":

"Your company, organization or educational institution would like to use the Apple Software (as defined below) to develop one or more Internal Use Applications (as defined below) for Apple- branded products running iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and/or macOS, and to deploy these Applications only for internal use within Your company, organization or educational institution or for limited use as expressly set forth herein."

So do your own fraudulent port out. It's clear you wont get in trouble for it.
My primary uses: play music (connected to Spotify), set timers and alarms (one Dot is in the kitchen), and turning lights on and off (we have Hue smart bulbs). I certainly could do all those things without it, but it is nice and does feel Jetsons-esque to be able to say and have it done, especially the lights -- no more awkwardly reaching over a couch.

I've also recently created a few routines which are fun -- "Good morning" triggers a good morning response, lights on, the weather and news, and some light music. It really does feel like the future scifi promised us...
In defense related industries, it surely does happen if it can be done.
Outside of that, probably only what can be got away with by bad agents for side deals.

Show HN: Easy State: Practical, Minimalistic State Management for ReactJS
I guess having only 1% of the e-commerce market in China has a bright side.
I'm a hobbyist with a few domain names (under 10 total); of those, the majority are in "use" (that is, there is something of mine they resolve to - not to a blank page or a "for sale" page or anything like that). But a couple or so have no content behind them (and honestly, some day I'll probably let them go back to the wild).

Should I have to pay the amounts you list for something that is a hobby? What about others with hobby domains and sites? Should they have to pay such extreme amounts just to keep their hobby site going?

There are people out there who run sites "just because" - giving away information and content for free, like the web used to be - like it was meant to be, not this almost seeming abomination we have today, built on ephemerous "likes" and other useless metrics.

Your solution would do nothing but turn the web even further to corporate control, and leave hobby sites to only the well heeled, or to those who can scrape by (perhaps NPR fund-drive style). The majority would simply fold up shop, never to be seen again.

I get it - I don't like true squatters any more than the next person; that is, those who sit on a domain hoping to make a buck off of some words. I have no problem with a business establishing a valuable domain based on their name and reputation. I don't like those who sit on domain names that sound or seem like a similar company's name, and try to bank of that (or worse).

But I think your solution of "raising rates" - at least unilaterally - isn't the answer, unless we want a worse web experience than we already have today.
That doesn't change the point.

As a user, I can not choose what code to run on my iPhone.

The only way to run a non-official app would be if the app was open source: put it in testflight for your personal use.

This is the main reason I have sworn off all Apple devices.

>>>> What skills are most useful in an engineer, and how do we make you look good/help you make us look good >>>>

1) I don't think it's technical skills per se (your hierarchy would have reviewed that when you were hired). I think it's more of an attitude. I've lost count of the number of times PMs make a case for a feature to behave in a specific manner and Dev doesn't want to invest the time or effort to even investigate if it's possible/how that can be done. From Dev POV - we already do it this way so live with it. PM makes the argument that is not the best from a functional POV but Dev is simply not interested.

Note: I'm not saying all Devs behave this way, just pointing out a technical way of doing something might not provide the best functional experience and being open to explore or understand what PM is trying to achieve is important.

2) Ability to look at the big picture. Sometimes one is so focused on the immediate tasks and its technical design that they miss the fact that the PM has a road map and this feature or set of features is just one bit on the roadmap. This means that whatever is being built now should if possible make it easier to implement the other features down the line.
Apple should not have the right to enforce those conditions to begin with. Same as they should not be allowed to kick out apps from their whole platform on a whim.

Inacceptable. Such a company should not be allowed to do business in EU. Much worse than what happened with Microsoft in the 90ties.
Perhaps a better solution would be for each subsequent domain cost $1 extra to renew. I.e. your 11th domain would cost you $10 extra per year, your 101st domain a hundred extra a year.

I don't have a big problem with people holding onto a half dozen domains for years at a time and not making much use of them, but companies owning thousands of domains as speculation? F that noise.
I disagree with your argument as a whole.

My device is little more to me than something to run a web browser. I despise native apps. Facebook and Googles apps can - and should IMO - be run from a browser without crossing over into my personal contacts and photos.

Apple has zero authority over who I contact or what content I access over the web.

With any luck, this drives development back towards the web. I haven't had Facebook on my phone in years because their mobile layout is unbearable and their apps are invasive.
Can I ask what you're using to park them? I have a few unused domains myself.
Lowe’s is bricking its Iris smart home products at the end of March
Regarding the methodology, from the link:

Tone is judged from the perspective of the actor. Negative stories include stories where the actor is criticized directly. An example is a headline story where Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer criticized Trump when the Labor Department’s April economic report showed that fewer jobs were created than had been predicted. Schumer was quoted as saying, in part: “Eleven weeks into his administration, we have seen nothing from President Trump on infrastructure, on trade, or on any other serious job-creating initiative.”[8] Negative stories also consist of stories where an event, trend, or development reflects unfavorably on the actor. Examples are the stories that appeared under the headlines “President Trump’s approval rating hits a new low”[9] and “GOP withdraws embattled health care bill, handing major setback to Trump, Ryan.”[10]

Negative things happening to or because of somebody isn't indicative of bias in the reporting.
My friends make fun of me because I have three HomePods. One says that I'm probably the only person in the country with 3 who doesn't work on the HomePod team.

I bought them for the audio quality primarily. I do use Siri with it daily, and it's fine/passable. I have it read me the weather, my calendar events, reminders, and play the news.

This is a weird #LifeHack, but I have one in my bathroom, and a bathroom HomePod/Alexa is the best place to put one. Each morning in the shower, I can ask it about my day, then I usually have it play NPR, Bloomberg, or read the news. At doing that, it definitely is more than serviceable for me.
At least on iOS, you can scroll sideways (awkwardly) to read this kind of text.

I find example usages first then decipher what the manual means while referring to them. Many times it feels like manuals have their own language, phrasing, templating syntax or what-have-you. If you have something to compare against when they you can usually understand what they mean from that. I really wish more manuals had simple examples at the start of the manual. You don't even need many, just like 2.

A Perfect Knowledge of Human Nature: How Big Data and AI Recapitulate Phrenology
Android has 85% of the worldwide smartphone market. Apple doesn't exactly have the upper hand in the relationship, but they have enough leverage to make it sting if they decide not to cooperate and to force a reasonable settlement.

In my mind, a reasonable settlement includes not installing spyware on users' iPhones through the enterprise development program, so it looks like they're doing precisely that.
I kind of agree, but I also find it curiously self-indulgent that as a profession software engineers feel entitled to discard technologies and methodologies because they are "not fun". Can you imagine civil engineers or electrical engineers saying that? They might enjoy working with certain technologies but would consider it highly unprofessional to demand that their projects be "fun" over other considerations.

NB: Groovy might be the closest thing to "LombokScript"
Timers, alarms, and turning on and off the lights (nearly all of my switches and plugs are wifi enabled).
No root cert was involved. Apps built with an enterprise distribution profile, once correctly signed, can be installed on any device. The limit is that it must be an employee’s device. This last rule, broken by GOOG and FB, is exclusively enforced through legal actions.
Did you know what the words meant? Can you read this and except for the symbols understand everything else?

I don't think the symbols are the problem. They're a very superficial obstacle, at least in this paper.

This isn't meant as a put-down. It's just that I really do think the actual material requires a lot more preparation that consists in a lot more than just learning the definition of the symbols. I could rewrite the whole paper using only text and no symbols. The symbols are just shorthand for English words. I don't think if I were to replace all of the symbols with the English words that they stand for, you would be much closer to understanding.
Of course, it's not certain. I said probably. There is a difference between FB giving a refund and a credit card dispute. The dispute may fail and they will be forced to pay , since the charges are technically legitimate. If Facebook simply refunds them, there is no chance of them paying. The rational thing for FB is to never refund them, take what you can get...
Neither Google nor Facebook have the least amount of interest in open platforms, so I would not hold your breath.
This is the key sentiment I feel is missing from much of the discussions (and in some cases, reporting) taking place surrounding these events this week. Thank you for posting it.

It's useful to discuss the philosophical implications of any tech company having too much power. To add the most to that discussion, it's helpful to understand that these actions are not directly affecting customers (aside from those who were using these enterprise apps outside their intended scope).
Is getting an iPhone the only reasonable path? I tried this briefly on Android, but various other apps started complaining that Play was not installed.
Is it really clear? Are the people they were paying technically Google and Facebook employees / contractors?
Instagram: Girl tells how she was 'hooked' on self-harm images
On the Apple Developer Enterprise Program webpage [1], the first big feature (of four) is "Deploy In-house Apps" -- "within your organization", "to your employees' devices".

I'm not sure how it could be much clearer that this is not intended to be used to distribute apps to customers.

They weren’t. See the terms at https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/193060 “solely for internal use by Your Employees or Permitted Users, or as otherwise expressly permitted in Section 2.1(f).”

https://github.com/nicwise/apple-agreements/blob/master/appl...

2.1(f) Allow Your Customers to use Your Internal Use Applications on Deployment Devices, but only
(i) on Your physical premises and/or on Your Permitted Entity’s physical premises, or (ii) in other
locations, provided all such use is under the direct supervision and physical control of Your
Employees or Permitted Users (e.g., a sales presentation to a Customer); and
Depends on the product and the actual functional relationship between PM and engineers. Is the product manager mostly working with designers and customers to see what is needed for the underlying project, and then communicating that equitably with engineers? That's ideal. Is the product manager making high-level technical commitments to management (e.g. "we are going to move our VMs from AWS to Azure by EOW!") because it's what they want to hear and then acting extremely bossy and assholishly to engineers trying and likely failing to meet that deadline? Do they not even do anything other than acting as a second manager who is way less qualified? Then they are actively making the work environment worse. Both situations are possible and honestly technical skills don't even matter that much here.

Now, if you are working on a very software-y product like SAAS or some other thing where other developers are the consumers, then you should not be non-technical (or if you are non-technical you should have a ton of experience being the PM for technical products) simply because you have little hope of understanding the needs of the consumers of the product. But this is a minority of products

Well, I think it's a hack in that it's kinda providing functionality you need that isn't baked in, by making some opinionated decisions and then encoding them in fragments of class names (as one example). That feels like a (good) hack to me.

The Apple Developer Enterprise Program License
Agreement, linked from https://developer.apple.com/terms/ (Apple ID login required), makes it VERY clear that the Enterprise Program is intended "for in-house, internal use applications". This point is reiterated multiple times throughout the introduction, and is later made more explicit:

> "Internal Use Application" means a software program (including extensions, media, and Libraries that are enclosed in a single software bundle) that is developed by You on a custom basis for Your own business purposes (e.g., an inventory app specific to Your business) for specific use with an Apple-branded product running iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and/or macOS, as applicable, and solely for internal use by Your Employees or Permitted Users, or as otherwise expressly permitted in Section 2.1(f). Except as otherwise expressly permitted herein, specifically excluded from Internal Use Applications are any programs or applications that may be used, distributed, or otherwise made available to other companies, contractors (except for contractors who are developing the Internal Use Application for You on a custom basis and therefore need to use or have access to such Application), distributors, vendors, resellers, endusers or members of the general public. For the sake of clarity, Internal Use Applications do not include third-party applications even if some customization has been done.

There's other damning bits later in the license agreement, including:

> You must provide clear and complete information to users regarding Your collection, use and disclosure of user or device data, e.g., a description of Your use of user and device data in the Your Internal Use Application.

and

> Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.3.9, You and Your Internal Use Application may not use the Network Extension Framework, or any data or information obtained through the Network Extension Framework, for any purpose other than providing networking capabilities in connection with Your Internal Use Application (e.g., not for using an end-user's Internet traffic to serve advertising or to otherwise build user profiles for advertising).
These happen to be some of my favorite threads.

YCombinator is a technology business accelerator after all, so there's a lot of interest in this stuff here.
Not sure about the American ones. Where I live the late stage startups are often too bureaucratic, unfocused, with the 80 hour weeks. When they're too big, they have to justify the valuation by creating a lot of other little side projects. But this seems more a trait of Asian unicorns, who try to switch to Alphabet mode long before they IPO.
> I respect that they're applying their rules consistently.

Not really. If any lone developer/small company did this, Apple would have banned the whole developer account.
What an amazing story. Thanks for sharing!
My mildly retarded friend did.

Pretty sure he still does.
> I have quite a few domains I use for email and such that I park with ads. They make me $20-$30 a month and I still get full use of the domain for what I need it for.

Can you go into more detail about how you did that? I'm surprised that a random domain would get enough traffic, unless it was a common word or typo away from a major domain.
Anodized aluminum is food-safe and is commonly used in pans, where it experiences much harsher chemical exposure than dipping a spoon into some freeze-dried pasta.

Wood can definitely be cleaned. Wood spoons are a common item in any kitchen where meals are commonly prepared. Bamboo is even tougher and easier to clean.

It's not hard to keep plastic utensils from melting or cracking. I still use the same plastic camp utensils I got decades ago.

I was working in outdoor retail when titanium utensils started being sold. Guess what? People ate just fine before them. When people started buying the titanium utensils, I would sometimes ask why (not challenging, just curious). To a person, they all said: because they're so light. (They were heavier than the plastic spoons.)

I agree that they're a luxury, the same way a $200 Dolce & Gabbana t-shirt is a luxury: high price for no additional benefit. Triumph of marketing.
Agreed. I got so much downvote in the last story about Apple banning Facebook enterprise certs, because I thought it was an unevenly applied rule.

But in reality, to yield this kinda of power, you MUST apply it equally and fairly. Apple has been far from a fair arbiter in its app platform.

All this article does is highlight the soldier mentality of accepting instruction blindly as to what is good/bad. It seems child-like when read as the article presented it.
Even cooler is using a JVM language that builds many of these features in (my favorite is Groovy). Java will always be weighed down by the (necessary) baggage of backwards compatibility. I think companies still confining themselves to strictly using Java and nothing else are doing themselves a disservice when there are JVM languages that offer almost perfect compatibility at the bytecode level.
