Pretending that reality is something else is rarely helpful. Sure we could, but thats not the situation we are in. Hypothesizing doesnt change the current situation.

The parent made an appropriate comment in my opinion. Twitter as it exists today is in the public sphere, it is not your living room. You are shouting something throughout the net and invite everyone to share their opinion on what you said.

We should all be old enough to understand that the world is full of morons whether we like it or not. And if they are part of your community it becomes your problem too. Dont want to be confronted with the unpleasant parts of of the twitter userbase? Dont be on twitter.

If you however want the reach of twitter without any of the downsides, to bad. Make up your own platform with your own user guidelines. Twitter offers such a huge reach because everyone gets to comment whether you like it or not. You might like that or dislike that, but your opinion on it doesnt change the current atmosphere on twitter.

If you use twitter as it exists today, you better have a thick skin. There are no two ways around it. To exaggerate, you would also need a thick skin if you wanted discuss the topic of migrant rights in some neonazi club. Sure it would be awesome if they behaved, but not something you should expect as a reasonable person. And if you wanted to have a positive reasonable discussion, why would you ask them in the first place about their opinion?
Hey!

I've been playing with Archetype recently in conjunction with VS Code and I have to say, you've been doing a great job!

Keep it up my dude!
Apple doesn't have a monopoly, it's less than 30% of the European phone market
There's an interesting philosophical question there. Can a vendor who has 15% marketshare really be called a monopoly?

Sure, they have complete control over who publishes on their own platform, but that sort of thing happens all the time without anyone batting an eyelash at it: The major console vendors do this, as did all cell phone vendors in the pre-smartphone era. My digital camera does this.

That leaves me thinking there's no real ground for invoking antitrust laws on this issue. Though there's still plenty of room to say that these policies are consumer-hostile and not in the public interest, and therefore there ought to be a law against it.
It's interesting how this appears just after Elizabeth Warren's call to break up the big tech companies.

I don't agree with Warren's stance, but hats off to Spotify for nice PR campaign timing.
If you read between the lines, it's clear that Spotify was able to make a normal watch app. But they wanted to make one that had special functionality not yet allowed by Apple, for any app, not just Spotify.

mind pointing to or sharing them?

> That’s why I nearly jumped for joy during the watchOS 5 announcement in June, when Apple unveiled most of my list of watchOS changes needed to make good podcast apps.

In my understanding, an Apple Watch Spotify app would surely be technically feasible as of watchOS 5 (but I might be in the wrong here, I haven't tried myself more than read the available API docs).
I think we should break the monopoly of app store and play store. Platforms should enable other stores to play well along with their stores. It is ridiculous at this day and age to go through a process like app store / play store approval after you've spent so much money building an app. The web works fine without a single party deciding what should or should not be on it. We should treat app store as a service for distributing apps and providing services to update and charge people for those services. It should be distinct from the platform itself. The platform should stick with publishing a spec for how an executable should be and standards to verify the veracity of the distribution with certificates and digital signatures. I think if there is a region that can enforce this change, it will be the EU and the rest of the world will follow.
That's not how science works.

CFS/ME is a diagnosis based on real, observable behavior. The lack of a scientific explanation for the cause doesn't mean there isn't a cause, and it certainly doesn't mean the condition is not real. It means the cause has not yet been isolated by repeatable experiment. (And yes, it's possible that there are multiple conditions all diagnosed together as CFS/ME, and that some of them are purely psychological. But it's also reasonable to assume that some or all have a physical cause.)

Long ago, we didn't know about germs, and people believed diseases were caused by sin (and arguably, some still do). Doesn't mean the diseases weren't as real then as they are now that we know what causes them.
I watched the first link. My first thought is that a pool makes for a very strange meeting space, especially for digital art. I know, pretty complex analysis.
As I said: These are the costs of the channel. You don't need to use the channel.

Yes, isolation is a big win. It means I can update the “os” each service resides on independently of each other, so I don’t have to tackle 10 upgrades at once.

It also removes attack vectors and weirdness that happens when a package sees optional dependencies on the system. I.e,, if I need ldap for one thing, I don't have services in other containers trying to work with ldap.
I have a hard time feeling bad for Boeing in this scenario — playing ball in aviation means assuming a huge amount of risk, and meeting a ridiculously high standard. In return they have a fairly captured market, and a huge amount of political power. Historically that means you ground a plane and take the loss until you figure out what’s going on.
Sure, but if another company with a $1T mkt cap is abusing it's market position to the detriment of a $30B company, wouldn't you want to hear about it?

After all, if they treat Spotify this way, how do you think they'll treat your app in the future if it happens to compete with them in someway?
I'm no great fan of Google, but it's a little harder to point the finger at them.

F-droid works perfectly well on any Android device, and is a viable alternative to Google Play (for some users). Android .apk files can be installed on any Android device with one switch flipped - and the first time you attempt to install an .apk file, it points you to the setting. Chrome extensions can similarly be packaged and distributed from another source (i.e. GitHub) and are treated as first-class chrome extensions alongside their store-installed counterparts. Apps installed on an iPhone via Xcode (only available for macOS, which is only available on Apple hardware) expire after 7 days and refuse to open unless they are re-deployed. They last for a year if the user pays Apple $99/year for a developer certificate.

Google's platforms don't have people spending money as much as iPhone users do, but they are not nearly as locked down or restrictive.
I'm not seeing anybody else suggest what seems to me to be the obvious solution: opt out of twitter (which seems like a self-abuse platform) and filter your email.

Part of why communication works is because we can't hear everybody's opinion on everything. People earn the right to our ear through networking and earning our company. Twitter undoing this is not progress.
TEMPEST but to the max
Banking on the Cold War
This opens up a wide host of negative side-effects including the extreme ease of malware. I'd say the #1 value proposition for the App Store, and why most iOS users prefer it, is the guarantee of virus-free programs.
The New Data Stack: Fivetran, Snowflake, and Looker
This book looks great. Thanks.
Definitely agree duktape is a decent attempt at low memory situation, but one additional point is that duktape is very slow compared to modern JavaScript engines.

Hence I wonder if we can split ignition off v8 to create a standalone fast JavaScript interpreter at the cost of (possibly) more memory consumptions than duktape, that could prove to be useful in many scenarios.
If it was a "similar cause", it is absolutely pilot error.

The MCAS system, at fault in the first crash, may be disabled via a cockpit control. In other 737s, moving the stick was sufficient to disengage it. For some reason, this was changed in the Max, and you must use the other control. However, any competent pilot would know every control in the cockpit. The captain of the latest flight to crash allegedly had 8,000+ hours of flight time.

If an aircraft begins behaving incorrectly, the first thing a flight crew should do is disable automation and try and fly it manually. That wasn't done if MCAS caused the crash. This was an emergency that developed over minutes, not seconds, and there's really no excuse.
It's also funny because Spotify won't let other people integrate their streaming service on a device (even only for premium subscribers) if you don't follow a huge list of restrictions.
It was obvious on the same day, as Russian media touted the video of falling airliner debris (which they thought was a Ukrainian military cargo plane).

I hang at least weekly on bimmerfest to find help with whatever is troubling my 16 year old car. I think there is huge value in having these highly specific forums where all the people who know their stuff hang out. It implicitly also means you don't get a bunch of <!bmw> owners yelling at us to go f*ck ourselves, which you might on reddit or facebook...

Lets-get-arrested, a protest against the police in Japan
A common (and, in my opinion, legitimate) complaint about blog posts that appear here often is that the company publishing the post doesn't say what it is they are or are doing, and as a result, why anyone should care about the about the blog post.
It doesn't mean that it's true
Who gets to define the term platform? I think this is just arguing semantics.
sure but it’s 30bn vs apples almost trillion in market cap
For comparison, Android keeps a very clear line between the 'Platform', and the 'Apps'.

Every API on the platform is available to all apps which have the necessary permissions.

Sure, it might look like Google has taken over key low level features of the device like updates and wifi location, but in fact from the platform perspective, all those components have an open API and can be replaced.

The only fly in the ointment here is some of the API's require powerful permissions which aren't allowed in store apps, but you can still sideload them, or use an alternate store.
This does make people ask that question, but looked at from another way, if they have have the possibility of offending a totality of the largest market in the world, does that really fit into this question. It's more like an extreme example to show that sometimes a trivial change would have a large effect.
There is a fine line between reading between the lines and fabricating things. Can you point to what exactly in that website substantiates your implication?
I don't think this is about Spotify versus Apple - its about Apple versus its customers. I want to be able to choose what music service I want, and I want the price to be competitive. And not just music.

You just have to wonder what's up with Apple.
Apple did the same thing to Kindle for iPhone back when it launched.

We submitted the original version to Apple with a fully functioning store built into it—and were then stuck in submission limbo. Two weeks later, Apple announces their intent to build in-app purchasing.

The kicker: Apple wanted a 30% cut of every book sold on the store …and at the same time, had negotiated with book publishers that the publishers MUST sell all books at a 30% margin on ALL stores if they want to sell their books via Apple's own ebook store.

Aka we couldn't sell books at an increased cost, even if we wanted to. We would have had to take a loss on every purchase.

In the end, we had to remove all of the store functionality from the app, and weren't even allowed to link people directly to the web store for purchasing (or even instructions for purchasing).
That's a bit misleading I think. There's no evidence whatsoever that DarkMatter plans to abuse their CA to MITM users. DarkMatter has been in possession of a trusted intermediary certificate for years now, so _if_ that was something they wanted to do they could have done it a long time ago.

The reason people are concerned about DarkMatter is that they have (allegedly, they seem to be denying this) previously developed and sold software that can be used to MITM connections (though not by abusing any CA certificates), and that this software has been used for less-than-noble purposes.

So yes "You're a bunch of sketchy creeps, we don't trust you." is an accurate assessment of some people's opinions towards DarkMatter, but "widely expected to start running a governmental MITM once trusted" is inaccurate.
Just so there is a dissenting reply about Sarno's book, I have chronic RSI and his book did not help me at all. I wish it did, I'm pretty over RSI in general, but after going through a variety of different ideas and experiments pretty much "don't use your hands" is all I've got :-(
They did for e-books, which they got sued for and lost.

I believe they also used to have it for subscriptions to things like video services (i.e. if you offered a web price and a 'through the store' price, the store price couldn't be higher), but dropped it.

That mostly seemed to be my problem, the 18.04 OpenCL causes Resolve to segfault. I grabbed the AMD "pro" Linux drivers, installed them (which was tricky, their provided scripts bombed out so I manually had to resolve a bunch of dependencies).

Once I got opencl installed and rebooted the machine, I was able to start Resolve and get into the main interface. It couldn't find a GPU though ("clinfo" showed one), I'm guessing that it really,truly does need an nVidia card. I brought home a card from work to try, just to see if it would make a difference, but someone put a AMD card into the box of a nVidia card.

I tried Resolve on my wife's Win10 laptop with Intel GPU, and it seemed to install and work no problem. Since I'm basically going to be using the machine for just editing when I'm editing, I may just set it up with Windows and call it done.

From some of the introductions I've watched, it looks like Resolve is the software I want. Lightworks has worked well, but Resolve looks like a space age rocket ship. I guess we will see...
The charity you set up will be perfectly aligned with your interests and values, whereas the highest paid employees of the existing "charity" are probably the president and the men's football coach, and not necessarily in that order.

As charities, universities massage their financials to make themselves look better. They set the tuition rate. They determine the scholarship amounts. They bring in dollar-denominated donations, but the actual "charity" they provide is a nebulous value for the amount of additional knowledge and education the student would have been otherwise unable to acquire without paying more out of their own pocket in tuition. The university decides what that is worth anyway. They move $50k from one pocket to another, and then say they gave away $50k worth of education.

A private scholarship charity can't play those games, because the costs of education are set by someone else.
Can you elaborate on why I am mistaken?
Spotify is not an Electron app, it uses CEF.
In the article, it mentions several times that Apple has rejected apps for linking to the web page to upgrade, or for even mentioning it is possible to upgrade (when IAP is not enabled).
The new design is space wasting. Check the URL bar for example, you type something and you get suggestions. The distance between each entry is huge. I don't have a touch interface on my desktop. It should be configurable. It was, until they removed the flags.

Tabs: with the old edgy style you saw "more" and was easier to click. This might be a personal choice though.

Account: Previously (on Windows) your Google account was displayed next to the minimize/maximize/close button. Now it's next to the icons for addons. Wasting space.

Difference between Linux and Windows: On Linux (Fedora, Ubuntu) you can use the scrollwheel to cycle through tabs when hovering over them. Doesn't work in Windows.

Tesla is a high priced EV but it drives innovation for the market.
to be clear... RSI is repetitive stress injury, correct? Or strain?
Another piece of evidence: on the site, on June 2014, they mention raising the price to 13 Euro to make up for the 30% charge. I don't think they raised the price for web subscriptions at that time.
"The closer you get together, the more you like each other? There is no evidence of that in any situation that we have ever heard of. When people get close together, they get more and more savage and impatient with each other. [Man’s] tolerance is tested in those narrow circumstances very much. Village people are not that much in love with each other. The global village is a place of very arduous interfaces and very abrasive situations." McLuhan
They have a monopoly over their own app store. It's not like Spotify can just choose to distribute their iOS app directly or through a 3rd party app store
You've misremembered the Microsoft ruling. It wasn't about Microsoft having control over computers running Windows - that alone does not a monopoly make. What made Microsoft a monopoly was that over 95% (can't remember the exact number) of all computers were running Windows.

Apple's marketshare is nowhere close to that.
Unusual to see the IT department get involved in politics. Sloppy.
They are not compelled to use Apple as their payment processor.

They are absolutely free to handle billing their customers on their own website and to turn off the ability to pay through their iOS app altogether.

This is, in fact, exactly what Netflix has chosen to do with new users.

https://techcrunch.com/2018/12/31/netflix-stops-paying-the-a...

Nothing is stopping Spotify from doing the same thing with new and/or existing users.

What they are not free to do is provide a link to their billing web page within their app.
I gotta say this entire HN thread leaves me with a negative impression of both 'David from Hacker Noon' and 'Tony from Medium'. More the latter than the former, but honestly I can't tell.

Mostly I'm left thinking the 'drama' in here is entirely befitting the general quality of both properties. I generally find Medium and Hacker Noon links to be somewhat underwhelming whenever they're posted to this here HN.
It's getting better! But yes, releases before 6.0 are best viewed from a safe distance.
That misses the point entirely - prosperous cities are also heavily Democrat! It ammounts to blaming the voters because they can't compete locally at all. Given that

Their policies just plain don't appeal to the cities and pandering to xenophobes has given them a "not an option" status among minorities.They have kept on doubling down on alienating even religious conservative minorities who would otherwise be in line with their other values.
> Apple can do as they please

I hope they continue to do so, in so much as I would like Apple to experience some backlash for having inconsistent stances when it comes to the app ecosystem and their rules.
>Microsoft used to be roundly criticized for supposedly building private APIs into Windows that Microsoft Office was allowed to use either because they were undocumented, or Office got the documentation far ahead of anyone else.

At the same time though, Microsoft wasn't preventing other developers from using those hidden APIs (if they could find them) nor preventing them from publishing their own competing apps. Sure, Microsoft's behaviour at the time was anti-competitive and sometimes even predatory, but they were never so on Windows to the extent that Apple is today on iOS.
Seems like there's still the issue of networking, and I guess if the accusations about the Spotify app rejections are true then I wouldn't be surprised if a Watch app that allows offline playback would get rejected.
This all seems well and good.

However, I'd like to point out something that doesn't sit well with me.

Spotify uses this same kind of extraction mechanism on the artists that use its platform.

The complaint loop is complete. We have artists complaining about artist 'hosting' companies complaining about application hosting companies.

I believe the solution lies in different, non-zero sum economics, but haven't been able to think of anything for music. I do, however, have some pretty cool ideas for longer form text and video content.
sexual preference is a pretty bad stand-in for career choices. But we don't have to use it, there are twin studies on career path: http://www.aei.org/publication/the-genetics-of-job-choice/ . The numbers vary a lot based on the specifics, but tend to be less than 50%.

But this only provides evidence of a genetic component to career choice, not sexual differences. To prove that, you'd need to isolate the genes responsible and show they are on the X or Y chromosomes. Actually, genes are a lot more complicated than that, and there would likely be a large number of interactions between a lot of different genes. So instead you'd need to use some sort of statistical model.

Also, I'd note that this doesn't rule out societal factors. Heritability scores are a measure of the interaction between genes and the environment. If we lived in a world where it was against the law for a woman to be a computer programmer, you'd see a very strong genetic component for career choice as well!
I have chronic fatigue syndrome since a bad viral infection in 2001. I find this article quite unfortunate. There is plenty of good research being done into CFS that does not generate the outrage that the PACE trial has. There are many reasons that particular study has been the focus of campaigners while other researchers are encouraged or left in peace, but I would encourage those who are coming to this issue here for the first time to do some more reading before coming to an opinion.

The abstract to the study itself is here (the full study is behind Elsevier paywall):

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3065633/?report...

David Tuller's blog critiquing the study is at:

http://virology.ws

Searching for "PACE trial" will bring up plenty of articles on either side of the debate.

My own thought as to why this particular study stirred so much controversy is that it has been seized on by some in the medical-political establishment in the UK as defining a solution for all CFS sufferers, and negating the need for further study into the condition (although recent hearings in UK Parliament have begun to reverse this approach), when really the effect demonstrated by the study is quite small. Fortunately, the US establishment has not taken this tack:

http://nationalacademies.org/hmd/Reports/2015/ME-CFS.aspx

https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/index.html

CFS remains a poorly-understood disease with a grossly underfunded research program when the number of people affected and the severity of the condition are taken into effect. Those who rally against PACE in particular seem to be mainly asking that it not be the end (or even the main direction) of the road in terms of CFS treatment and research in the UK.

In my opinion, global social media systems are toxic on nearly every topic, not just this one.
