Nobody is talking about the price of app distribution though. It's about the cost of a Spotify subscription. This subscription has nothing to do in the slightest with Apple. Apple doesn't have to promote it, distribute it, host it, pay for its bandwidth, nothing.

Spotify already has their own distribution channel (sign up on their website), and Apple is prohibiting them from mentioning it on iPhones and instead forces them to use Apple's distribution channel, which comes with a hefty price tag.

So if they want to distribute their free app on the iPhone, they are welcome to do so, as long as they don't mention that people have to go to their website to sign up for the premium service.

We can still argue about whether Apple is allowed to behave this way, but at least we'll be arguing about the right thing.

> The economy measures where humans allocate their efforts. We put more effort into the arts than we do into getting food out of the ground. It's not nonsense.

Or maybe it's more a measure of how automated large scale farming has become? It requires less human effort?
Have you been in a Tesla before? They are surprisingly roomy on the inside. If you've been in ICE cars with much less efficient use of volume, you will be impressed when you spend time in an EV without all the huge engine, transmission, and various extra parts that aren't a flat battery and watermelon-sized electric motor.
Very impressive. My first thought is, why? Just use a Pi with Retro-pi. However, you wanted to be down at the metal. That's quite a challenge, particularly when you work alone.

I'm always impressed when someone is skilled at both hardware and software to make a finished product. It's Woz-like.

Very impressive work.
That is irrelevant offtopic. Just because it is possible to figure out fraud does not make it any less fraud.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Considering the amount of people (myself included) that have grown up playing video games and shooters. I think we have enough empirical evidence that violent video games do not in fact raise violent people.

Im only looking at the crime rates in the US using wikipedia [1], and the crimes are going down. Im certain that this trend is similar in other developed countries that have a long history of violent movies and video games.

If anyone gets interested in using QNX, there is a tutorial:

It's generally fine to submit anyway, I think.
What stack / tech did you use for "highly available distributed systems" and do you feel like it helped differentiate your skill set in terms of hireability?
The economic definition of middle class is very different from how people identify themselves. In the US, unless you have enough wealth to live like a celebrity most high earners identify themselves as Upper Middle Class.

The cost of maintaining your Upper Middle Class status is very high: tuition for elite, private schools, mortgages on giant homes and vacation homes, leases on luxury cars to keep up with the neighbors, and the desire to live in high-cost exclusive communities, etc.

Because of all of the above, people that should be "rich" if you look at where they are on an income distribution graph, actually do not feel "rich." So they identify as Upper Middle Class.
You definitely can point to specific versions.

That being said, most package managers can contain malicious code and very few of them actually review their packages.

Besides, any company using NPM seriously probably has their own proxy in front of it, so there's no case of "the file might not be downloadable anymore" if that was already a problem with NPM itself.
Well, of course! "Independent" sources, if you listen to a few of them, counts as "research", as in "do your research!"
That would be killer. Looking forward to this...

This is a well-known argument called the Long Tailpipe Problem. It makes intuitive sense, but if we inspect the data from a comprehensive, well-to-wheel assessment, the answer is: "It depends."

The total systemic carbon footprint depends on the fuel and technology used for electricity generation in the particular country or region in question.

Electric cars’ carbon emissions can vary from similar to the average gasoline car (for countries with lots of dirty coal-fired plants) to less than half those of the best hybrids vehicles (in countries with lots of renewable power generation).

Using the techniques described on my blog [0], which are ideal for KPIs like conversion rates and small sample sizes (since no Gaussian approximation is made), I get a p-value of 0.177, which is not significant. The observed treatment effect is a 36.8% lift in conversion rate, but a confidence interval on this effect has endpoints -10.7% and +97.4%. Anything in that range would be considered consistent with the observed result at a 0.05 significance threshold.

With 6000 total impressions and a 50/50 split, the experiment is only able reliably to detect a 74% lift in conversion rate (with power = 80%).

If you want to rigorously determine the impact, decide what effect size you hope to see. Use a power calculator to decide the sample size needed to detect that effect size. Administer the test, waiting to acquire the planned sample size. When analyzing, be sure to compute a p-value and a confidence interval on the treatment effect.

What was the last territory that the US annexed? What territory has it formally annexed as the dominant superpower for the last 70 years? Hawaii is about it, with the US controlling Hawaii since the 19th century.

China just recently used its military to annex territory the size of India. The largest territory grab since Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were piling up conquests. That's after annexing Tibet (larger than Colombia) immediately after WW2. Next they plan to annex the world's 21st largest economy and one of the largest economies in Asia in Taiwan. Most of China's neighbors are openly terrified of it, including South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines.

Meanwhile the US has maintained stable, massive borders with Canada and Mexico for a very long time, despite being comically more powerful in every regard. The US isn't attempting to annex the Gulf of Mexico away from Mexico & Co., even though it trivially could and nobody could stop it. Neither Canada nor Mexico are actually afraid of the US.

Canada's border with the US has been the largest, longest non-militarized border in world history. India, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam (arguably Russia as well) are in perpetual military stand-off mode on their territory and borders with China.

Dozens of countries allow the US to station its superpower military inside their borders, with zero fear of being annexed or invaded for conquest. Japan, Germany, Poland, South Korea, the Baltics, et al. are not afraid the US is suddenly going to decide to try to annex them or their territory.

It's not arbitrary, and it's not on the spot.

Dynamic programming asks them to either study or have abstract math skills. Both are good signs of competence.

> I couldn’t provide a family with the same lifestyle my parents gave me (a house, two cars, safe neighborhood, good school district, mother could stop working for several years to raise me)

That's true, probably. But you don't need 2 cars and a house for your family to have the same quality of life.

If you live in the right neighborhood 1 or zero cars is fine. And a family of 4 can live just as happily and comfortably in a 2 bedroom apartment.
Amazing.

I just caught you out making stuff up and now you resort to making yet again even more stuff up: "Education expenses are whatever you want to pay" (yeah, let's just buy 1/10th of a Bachelor degree, sounds like a plan to cut the costs), "you listed off literally the most expensive places to live in the USA, where the majority of people do not live" (sure, nobody lives in major cities) (why the hell are they called major cities then? God knows).

This conversation is leading nowhere so I'm just gonna stop responding.
so what you are saying is its possible that poor Amazon wasn't able to get all the political influence it paid for and we are should not be angry at it for trying to buy itsel support that it otherwise would not have

yes, but the unit economics probably pencil out, meaning the direct costs of providing the service (distribution, charging, maintenance, and support) are paid for by the revenue. that’s unit profitability.

but they’re probably losing money in capital costs and overhead (marketing and the like), so overall unprofitable.

lyft was (is) principally both a hedge against uber and a way for VCs that didn’t get into uber (ever or early enough) to make a bet in the space (the top 2-3 companies in a new market usually survive to a decent exit), so profitability wasn’t an important metric for funding (but the probability of surviving to exit very much was).
It’s a matter of personal discipline. There is an enormous variety and quantity of inexpensive calories available as well. Some people take excessive advantage of that and others don’t.

I get those same credit line offers and just don’t respond. We live in the same house we bought 12 years ago when I was making around half of what I make now. We drive our cars for 8-15 years and usually buy them used (my cheap electric LEAF was bought new only because of the $10K in government incentives made buying used make no sense, all others were used).

Frugality can easily be done; it does take some discipline. I see colleagues with $100K kitchen renovations and two leased luxury automobiles. I am quite sure we’re headed to a happier and more secure retirement, early if we like, but more likely simply flush and setting our kids up for a good financial grounding and head-start.
>Another failure in the AoA sensor on a brand new aircraft seems unlikely.

From another perspective, having one new sensor fail would seem to suggest that one should increase the prior probability for failure.
Amazing to me the knee jerk response from most people is to criticize this company. Yes they have issues (as does literally every brand/company), but on the whole aren't we glad people are leading the charge towards electric vehicles? They've sped up the advent of electric vehicles by at least 5 years, possibly more like 10.

Looking forward to seeing this company continue to thrive.
Any good link on how NGOs work/how to start on in Europe?

Are there unified E.U. rules about it or does it change from country to country ?
At highway speeds, the sound of a modern cars (ICE or otherwise) is mostly tire noise. Electric cars are much quieter at slower speeds, when tire noise is minimal.
> And Android's UI got way better after the iPhone was first released.

iPhone was released before Android.
From the article, it looks like the local police banned PUBG after locals complained about its addictive nature(in the exam season). Not saying that this is legit, but I don't think Modi would've called the local Police chief and said, "hey bro, please ban PUBG because kids won't do well in exams in my state".

As for the sites ban, I couldn't find any Government order banning these sites. For all we know, it might be the courts issuing these bans.
That the system is driven by donations is true, but misleading -- the maximum amount that any person or PAC can donate to a candidate is $5000.

Only by acting collectively can this sort of thing make a difference. Large organizations like the National Rifle Associations have influence not because they can bribe politicians through donations, but because their large membership means that an endorsement or condemnation from that organization can cause the members to act individually in support of or against a politician.

For that matter, political parties in the United States are really no more than giant PAC in themselves -- they help candidates by narrowing their field of support to a single candidate in elections and by helping them get the signatures necessary to get on the ballots (which are technically open to anyone, not just those affiliated with a party), in exchange for which members of the party are expected, to some degree, to support party-line initiatives.
I am not sure about the US, but in Germany 40% of the electricity is already renewable. And most Tesla owners I know use a 100% renewable plan. It costs just a tiny little bit more, for example from here: https://www.greenpeace-energy.de/privatkunden/oekostrom.html (page in German)
Their main argument is don’t spend the effort to switch to ECC since we’re going to recommend switching to a quantum resistant suite any day now.

Tire noise has a much different "sonic signature" compared to exhaust noise and ICE noise, it is much closer to "white" noise and has not as much rumble. I'm not saying it's necessarily any better, but maybe it's going to be less annoying.
To me Che is an Enterprise IDE, which integrates with the deployment platform. The majority of people just want an IDE in the browser, like c9 or vscode.
Maybe on the highway, but I would imagine that's not the case in major cities where cars are generally moving < 30 MPH.
I often do side projects when there's an opportunity to explore something I don't normally get to do in my line of business work.

In many cases, I'm able to take what I've learned back to my day job, so it's not always about money, at least for me.
That's a very strange view. Of course people with a native language will make similar mistakes when learning a new language. Swedish speakers have issues pronouncing "jump" ("yump" ) and cheap ("sheep") because the language doesn't really have those sounds. Because were and was is the same word in Swedish, that's also a common mistake.
Funny enough, I remember seeing a 737 doing circuits at Prestwick airport. I believe there is (or used to be) some requirement for an airline to do a minimum number of circuits on a new type. Kinda fun to see. Apparently a lot of fun for pilots to do.
The Nomad Jukebox is 1.5 inches thick, in 2001 most portable CD players were under an inch thick and there were a few competing for thinnest with the IO-Data HyperHyde being .55 inches thick.

The battery in the Nomad at the time of the iPod launch was four standard AA cells, and you're right that they could last all day if you used Alkalines. You could use NiMH batteries but they were pretty awful; their main selling point in 2002ish was that they had no memory effect compared to NiCADs; not that they lasted as long as Alkalines.

The iPod launched a full 2 years before the iTunes Music store. At launch you could not buy music for the iPod and it still sold like hotcakes.

The iPod had a high capacity rechargeable battery, FireWire (400mbps) and could fit in the front pocket of a pair of jeans. The Nomad Jukebox was the closest thing at the time and it used four AA batteries, USB 1.1 (12mbs) and was praised for passing the jacket test (e.g. fitting in an oversized jacket pocket).
Looks like a tactic orchestrated by parents-cops to scare other kids from playing PUBG, because: Exams (:rolling_eyes:)

Highly clickbait news item for Indian/International media to report on this.
There is also a lot of poverty. And your experience as a tourist does not match mine - Sri Lanka is one of the few places to which I have vowed never to return, specifically because of the pointing, laughing, photo-taking, catcalling, touching etc. my blonde partner had to endure (and this whilst being respectfully dressed with her hair mostly covered), not to mention physical pushing and shoving from locals at tourist sites.
I would say the fact that someone would pay for their company, no matter what the situation is, puts them light years ahead. There's no stronger signal than someone else being willing to part with cash in order to obtain the rights their work.
Most people make side projects for fun. If it turns in to something that brings in some money that's great, but if it doesn't it was still interesting to build.

Plus you get to build the thing that you want to build rather than what someone else wants. That's a huge draw for a lot of people.

Another reason is that your contractor earning is capped by whatever you can charge multiplied by your time. If you get in to the top echelon of contracting you might be charging £1200/day, but even that is 'only' about £300,000 a year. If you want to earn more you need to find a way to charge for something other than time. That means starting a business that sells a product.
> Studies show that hiding aggression is one possible cause for depressions

Definetly the case for me. I was always proud of my kindness to others and almost complete inability to act in aggressive way — right until I finally went into therapy because of depression-like symptoms (I was never diagnosed with full-on clinical depression, so I abstain from using this term). Turns out, stopping your impulses because of your desire to be "nice" and please everyone around you is NOT the most emotionally healthy thing you could do! It's certainly good for others, but not for yourself.

So, now, in therapy, I re-learn exactly the things that these inuit children learn to avoid. At 30, I train to act out, to raise my voice, to listen to my emotions of anger and frustration and giving them a legitimate outlet, instead of pushing them down and letting them rot somewhere inside (often breaking out in awful passive-agressive ways that I don't even notice).

Indeed "many" people do, and the vast majority of people consider them nutters.

The more worrying part is the orders of magnitude larger group that essentially considers ~everything that the MSM prints is true, at least to the best of their ability. For most people (including smart people on sites like HN), the mere suggestion that this may not be the case will typically get you categorized as a member of the former group, regardless of the facts of the individual point of disagreement.

This seems to be simply the default nature of human psychology that is independent to some degree from intelligence. Changing it would require a significant organized effort of teaching people critical thinking skills, and the state seems uninterested in anything of the kind, despite their stated concerns about the crisis of fake news.

I am not sure if this isolated anecdata or not, but I watched my daughter absolutely flourish when we put her in daycare. She barely could sit up on her own when we put her in. There were some "older kids" in the class that could stand and move around while holding on to the rail. By the next week or two, she was sitting up, and attempting to stand by pulling her self up. I am convinced it is because she watched the other little ones doing it constantly. If she stayed home all day with us, I am not sure where she would have learned this from.
These posts always make it like "cloud is better vs building datacenters on mars".

There are middlegrounds, like colocation & dedicated servers. If you get dedicated servers 4x cheaper than cloud-shared-vps with remote-hdd, then you can overprovision.

Especially now that hardware is getting bigger you need even less space (assuming your software scales vertically).

And they ALWAYS make it like the next hour you will have 10x requests and your database will autoscale that quickly.
I was on board with the article until they mentioned checking for ear wax to see if a child is listening, and telling stories of special child eating monsters.

In a society that relies on the group for survival, one can imagine that a child learns pretty quickly that they have to get along or they will perish.

What the story does not tell us is what happens to children with behavioural or psychological issues.

The unfortunate reality is that in order to get many decision makers to support something, you need to show them quantitative data about its value.

In a past life, I worked on the performance team at an enterprise software company. For some of our users, our main dashboard took almost a minute to load. Fixing this didn't generate any new sales or increase revenue (enterprise software like this is sold to CTOs, not employees, and the actual product quality rarely affects sales numbers). We had our PM work full time to come up with numbers supporting our argument that making the service fast decreases churn. It was a pointless exercise, but it got us the resources to help fix the problem.

The sad reality is that while there are many things whose value should be intuitively obvious, the folks in charge do not always have an appreciation for them without seeing hard numbers.
> But they think it's important for their company to lobby. But in your world, they can't.

Sure they can, just not under the (limited liability) umbrella of the corporation. Do you believe the lobbying done by Amazon is approved of by all Amazon employees? Do you want foreign corporations lobbying the government?
