I suppose that depends on how you finance it. For Apple, it could be a feature of their ecosystem; for Google, the search engine is just there to lure you in so they can show you ads. That would be a totally different story: does Google actually have incentive to provide you with the best organic results next to which the ads would look out of place and bad?

I don't think it would be a good business decision for Apple though, and there's no guarantee that they could even get there with throwing billions of dollars at it.

Sure though the line between linter, type checker and static analysis is blurry (so I'll use the "suggest improvements without execution") because of the languages I work in.

For PHP :-

PHP Inspections (EA Extended) (commercial variant, free one is good as well) - Hands down my favourite for PHP because it integrates so well with my IDE, I wouldn't write PHP without it - very few false positives, when it flags something if I don't immediately understand I go look at why it's flagging it, I've learnt stuff I didn't know after nearly a decade of using PHP.

Phan - Very good and getting better all the time.

PHP_CodeSniffer (more useful for making sure you stick to a particular standard say PSR2 - IDE's can do this but code sniffer can be part of you pipeline/commit handling)

PHPStan - Very powerful but if you didn't start with this or are bringing it on an existing codebase..well it'll find a lot, on max it will flag what seems like everything but it's configurable and its most technically correct.

For TypeScript - TSLint w/ tslint-microsoft-contrib.

For C# - ReSharper

For bash - ShellCheck

I also tend to use an IDE that has a decent degree of real time analysis for the languages I use which is nearly always Intellij (with it's PHP, Python plugins) or one of it's spinoffs (eg. Rider on Linux) - I'm a jetbrains fanboy basically, I adore their tools.
> it was a meme that no one's C program ever compiled the first time they tried

Ah but see, the compiler is a guard-rail. Technically, it's a static-analyzer. I don't think anyone is against making existing guard rails more helpful via editor integration; the conflict comes with adding new guard rails. Take the following example:

let foo = {
bar0: 12,
bar1: 14,
bar2: 16
}

// example 1
console.log(foo.bar0);
console.log(foo.bar1);
console.log(foo.bar2);

// example 2
for(let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
console.log(foo['bar' + i])
}

Example 1 can be statically verified by a JavaScript type checker. Example 2 can't. There are advantages of being able to do the second thing - more code reuse, possibly less refactoring needed. But it's impossible to verify that those properties exist on that object without running the code. The argument is that oftentimes, the type checking is more valuable than the loss of "creative" freedom. But it does mean limiting the kinds of things you can do.
interesting, that is the price to stop apple create its own search engine.

Launching, perhaps. Creating? No one knows.

Maybe one day when Google decides it doesn't need Apple anymore, Tim Cook will pull a "One more thing..." at WWDC.
Absolutely true, which is why I recommend not hooking up the network to people who buy such TVs.

Nonetheless, the presence of this functionality tells me something about the company making and selling the TVs, and that something makes me not want to do business with them.

Particularly given that it's better (and often cheaper) to opt for buying a monitor and a media computer over buying a TV.
I have a lot more faith in road engineers than individual drivers on determining safe limits. Untrained individuals are pretty crap at this, especially in areas they're unfamiliar with - an out-of-town visitor can hardly know that there's a low-visibility hairpin turn coming up.

Removing the perverse revenue incentives of artificially low limits seems like a good step.
Camp dues cover the costs of the camp. Such as water and food, transporting said water and food, shelter, etc... You share those costs because you share the resources and also there is the benefit of economy of scale and less redundant effort per person. Honestly not sure how that demonstrates commoditization.
That seems like a really low estimate but I have no clue what DDG is currently valued at. They raised $10 million recently but after a little search I wasn't able to see at what valuation they raised the money at.
The FAANG companies are not monolithic hiveminds. They are huge places where some parts are good and some are ... not so good. There are talented engineers and opportunities for growth at the good teams but you're not guaranteed to be in a good team at any given time.

I would say go for it but go in with a mission to understand the lay of the land and then transferring to a team that matches your growth goals.

California Governor Gavin Newsom said Tuesday the state will not complete a $77.3 billion planned high-speed rail project, but will finish a smaller section of the line.

Is this really the Governor's call? Doesn't the legislature need to, you know, pass a law to rollback the earlier plans?

In June 2014 state legislators and Governor Jerry Brown agreed to apportion the state's annual cap-and-trade funds so that 25% goes to high speed rail.

Google's market share is slightly more than 3/4 of all search [0]. They have a strong majority of all searches, and they dominant some submarkets of search, but they are far from total market dominance.

It's better to act as it is, than lament later.
The exceptions, meaning the runtime objects themselves, are indeed typed.

But at the language level, unchecked exceptions are not part of method signatures (as you said), therefore not type- checked/declared/inferred. Therefore appropriately described as untyped -

When calling a method, you have no (formal) list of unchecked exceptions that might be raised.

If you think of exceptions as being an implicit union type around every function return (ie monad), analogous to how you have to explicitly check for errors in C/Rust, you'll see what I mean. Java's unchecked exceptions are akin to calling a function in Python that you expect to return objects of only one type, but not being "sure" that it can't return something else.
I came up with a design many years ago that is both verifiable, mostly anonymous and does not require a trusted authority.

The basic idea is as follows:
1. Server maintains a public DB of valid registered voters.
2. when users are ready to vote server groups voters in small groups of size n(N=~10-20 voters)
3. server shares IP information of group members so the group members can connect to one another directly.
4. Voters vote and create a random anonymous identifier to tag their vote with.
5. votes+tags (no voter id) are passed back and forth between all the voters in the group until every voter has the vote of every other group member. (Now there are n copies of all the votes).
6. each voter sends all the votes back to server
7. server verifies that all sets of votes agree and then publishes votes along with tags to the public. If votes don't agree (ie one of the group members was naughty) then server breaks up the group, creates new groups and tries again.
Which will be ready for February 2022
You can change your settings easily. No need for such dramatic statements.
Not quite correct.

Only if you do not have a paid developer account will the app be uninstalled after 7 days. Otherwise the app can stay installed for as long as your account is paid up.

And the phone does not have to be physically connected for it to run.

This more than anything else Apple does, shows quite clearly that you do not own your iPhone, you are paying Apple to be allowed to use it. So you want to run your own program, with no interest in publishing to the App Store or sharing it with others? Sure thing, just pay us $100 a year...
Strictly speaking, you're meant to GO FORTH AND MULTIPLY.
An iPad wouldn’t be compared to an Amazon Fire because they aren’t comparable products. If you value iOS, Facetime, iMessage, and Apple’s general product experience, then others would also have to provide a similar experience to be comparable.
Teachers can fall into the same category. A teacher for 15 years or a teacher for 1 year 15 times.
Both you and GP are overly in love with HN's prohibition of snark, to the point that you don't seem to be able to read any meaning into anything that seems a little snarky. Frankly, I think HN's official stance on snark is regrettable - the net effect is that, no matter how absurd or obnoxious the proposition, we need to shift the Overton Window by acting as if the proposition is worthy of Serious Discussion. I think we've crossed that line a while ago, when GP asserted that we'd just have to go ahead with Apple and Google having "Kaffir Manager" on the app store because that would have been OK with South Africa at one point - these being companies that regularly exercise judgement way beyond the strict letter of local law (e.g. banning adult content that would be legal with age-verification in most countries).

In this case, it (the prospect that the Peace of Westphalia needs to be invoked to explain app store approvals) is not really worthy of serious discussion. Anyone who has, I dunno, read a newspaper semi-regularly at any time would find the idea that the Peace of Westphalia somehow applies to 'influence' within other countries absurd on the face of it (such influence has been incredibly common since WWII) and to particularly apply this starchy and ahistoric interpretation to Saudi Arabia - not exactly noted for its own policies of non-interference, to say the least - is doubly absurd.

You and GP may have noticed at some point that the discussion was about Apple and Google choosing to allow an app, not whether the USA should invade the KSA and free the women, but apparently bringing the Peace of Westphalia and a discussion of sovereignty into it was a temptation that was overwhelming.
> ive limited my commentary to the technical details

Prove it.

> apparently filled with unhinged personal attacks,

> you were spreading lies

> lying and misleading

Too late. You already failed at this within your very own post. The above words are not technical in any means, and I predicted that this would happen. Let me repeat myself one last time:

> I do not wish to discuss this matter with you any further

Perhaps I was not clear? But let me say it one more time. I DO NOT WISH TO DISCUSS THIS MATER WITH YOU ANY FUTHER. Am I clear this time?

EDIT: That does not mean I'm unwilling to discuss things with you in the future. As I stated earlier, it seems like you're an avid assembly programmer, and there aren't many of those in the world. So maybe next time, I'll feel confident to have a discussion with you. But in this thread, at this time? I do not wish to hold any technical discussion with you today.
Just a quick question for anyone more knowledgeable, has Project Zero ever bothered reporting or investigating any Google products, such as their clusterfuck of an OS more widely known as Android as I'm pretty sure that would be full of exploits if anyone was seriously looking for them.
I don't. My litmus test is that I couldn't tell if that implementation was poor or not, given Javascript as a context.
You're not wrong, but it doesn't excuse Apple's actions. Mac OS seems to get along well enough, as does Android despite some occasional bumps in the road. (The Android ecosystem has legitimate security issues regarding un-updatable devices, but that's not relevant here.)

We should all be pushing Apple to make their products more open, not asking them for be more stringent. I really do think that if public sentiment shifted in just the right way, we could see Apple allow sideloading. Steve Jobs is gone, and Apple is pushing the iPad as both a PC replacement and a STEM education device. Both efforts are hampered by an inability to run custom apps.

This TechCrunch article really bothers me. They are a tech-specific site, and should not be running the type of headlines you describe. The fact that companies break Apple's guidelines is newsworthy and fine to report on, but if Apple deserves any blame here it should be for making this crap necessary in the first place.
Currently it's only available on iOS and Android apps, with mobile web coming soon. We're still working out exactly what the experience will look like on desktop (it's a less natural flow for sure), but once we work out the kinks we'll be building that out as well.
I agree in general but if 1.4 billion devices simultaneously started using duckduckgo their servers would melt through the mantle and merge with the inner core.

Whole Foods are just one data point in an increasingly long list of Amazon acquisitions that were hailed as being the start of something huge but are just kind of there.

To be fair, you can do that with dynamically typed Python and a good IDE too. I've used PyCharm on Python 2.7 for years and never really had any issues with refactoring.
Most people will never change their default search. This is why Google's dominance mostly started with pushing Google Toolbar installs which changed your default in IE for you, and later, of course, with it's push into Chrome and Android and paying Apple to be default there.

If Chrome switched it's default search to DDG (no, this is not a plausible scenario), most people would be using DDG for search in a week.
From the article: "The I.T. expert said the crime lord also asked him to install spyware called FlexiSPY on the “special phones” he had given to his wife, Emma Coronel Aispuro, as well as to two of his lovers, including one who was a former Mexican lawmaker. ... Mr. Rodriguez also gave the (FBI) the user names and passwords of Mr. Guzmán’s FlexiSPY accounts, allowing agents to read — almost in real time — the intimate and incriminating texts he sent his romantic partners."

Right there is one of the best arguments to make against backdoors. If you put in a backdoor for yourself, someone else may use it, too. This example will get that across to CEOs and politicians.

The first 3 results are the same, then Google tends to be glowing endorsements for Kamala with absolutely nothing critical.

Google:

"Kamala Harris: young, black, female – and the Democrats' best bet"

"2020 candidate Kamala Harris wants to give working class families $500 a month"

DuckDuckGo:

"Kamala Harris says she smoked marijuana in college while listening to music that didn't exist yet"

"Extramarital affair with Kamala Harris?"

"Willie Brown on Kamala Harris: 'We dated,' I 'influenced her ..."

There's clear favoritism there.

Well, as part of the reorganization, the company needs to find new capital. If they are deemed badly managed, and any new plans aren’t convincing, they will have a hard time doing so and will disappear. It’s really like a startup rising from the ruins of the previous attempt.

"But there are numerous scientific studies that show that using a Vickrey auction, similar to Google's ad auction mechanism, can elicit a person's maximum willingness-to-pay."

Sounds like a catch-22 situation, how did these studies determine they actually measured a person's maximum willinges-to-pay? Even when a person has decided what their maximum is, there are many known sales tactics that can increase it beyond what the buyer initially decided. Some, like bait-and-switch are so effective that they're outlawed. So, it'd be really interesting to hear how these studies actually determined they actually measured what they said they did.

I'm not sure if the cost of flights would really go up that much.

Just to play with some numbers, let's consider a pilot with a salary of an astronomical $1,000,000/yr who flies transatlantic flights on wide-body jets (300 or so passengers). She is limited to 1,000 flight hours/yr, so each hour costs the airline $1,000. For an 8 hour flight, $8,000 split between 300 passengers is about $26 per person. Given that these flights come in around $150 at the cheapest, often going up to $1,000 at peak times, this (quite high) wage estimate doesn't translate into a huge price for the consumer (especially since you could shift more of the cost towards the first- and business-class passengers).

I think the numbers work out similarly for regional flights which have fewer passengers but shorter time in the air. These pilots start with base salaries in the $30,000 range; if that were raised to $100,000 for flying (for example) 3 hour flights with 50 passengers, that's only ~$4 extra per passenger per flight.

There might be other factors I'm missing - do these pilots actually fly significantly less than 1,000 hrs/yr?

These questions are easy to answer.

If female genital mutilation "direct harm"? Yes.

does the same apply to circumcision of males? Not to the same extent, because the harm is less - despite using the same word, cutting off the foreskin is objectively less harmful than cutting off the clitoris.

However, this is an area where the prevailing opinion is shifting as we speak. Male circumcision used to be normal (in the US), now it's considered in most polite circles to be somewhere between antiquated and barbaric. The loudest argument in favor seems to be "it's my religious tradition!" but ask the mormons how that argument faired WRT plural marriage and excluding blacks. Public opinion shifts slowly but it's not hard to imagine a future where even religion doesn't cut it as an excuse for cutting off bits of a baby's junk. We may revisit this question in a few more decades.

Is it ok for parents to see where their children are? Yes. Parents in every modern society are granted extremely broad powers over their children.

If in a culture the husband is viewed as the guardian of his wife, is it ok if the husband uses the same app for his wife? No. Women are not property. That's the moral judgement of modern society. Cultures which violate this moral judgement should do so without our help.

These are not thorny issues or deeply philosophical problems.
The payday lending industry operates within an intrinsically challenging ethical landscape. Their customers are generally poor, often desperate, and proportionately vulnerable. But payday lenders also don't operate within a vacuum: often the costs of high-interest-rate loans are dwarfed by comparison to the late-payment fees charged by credit cards, landlords, insurance companies, doctors offices, auto lenders, bank overdrafts, etc... As the saying goes, it's expensive to be poor. In one survey of payday loan customers performed by GWU Business School, 89% of borrowers said they were "very satisfied" or "somewhat satisfied" with their most recent payday loan. [1] No one wants to be in that situation, but for some, payday loans are the best or only option.

It's one thing to call out the kind of deliberately predatory behavior that has thrived in the payday lending industry, but it seems like Earnin is earnestly trying to provide a service that many Americans outside (and inside) the Bay Area fall back on, in the fairest and least-predatory way possible. As far as I'm concerned, that's something to be applauded, not scorned.
