Uber is paying $3.1BN to pick up Middle East rival Careem
Since so little thought seems to have been put in the approval process, can't you just re-submit the same app under a different name or using a different account?
From talks with colleagues I concluded that these issues were widespread enough to conclude that problem was not my family but the desktop distribution model.
The Chinese media model
Correct. I use Apple Pay with a web service (Hover, domain registrations) and with an app service (Uber).

In the case of Hover, I have performed a single authorisation, and it is now capable of performing repeat transactions against my card. There is no interface within Apple Pay (that I can find) to remove that authorisation, I have to ask Hover to do that.

In the case of Uber, I perform an authorisation for an expense before I know what the amount is, and I'm not required to re-authorise when tipping.

The Hover example is the problem. Not specific to Hover, but rather specific to the lack of virtual card management within Apple Pay.

Virtual cards by definition do not have to be single use, (un)fortunately.
i have played a ton of stardew, and it really is a great game to relax too, the planning and such you are talking about is so minor in terms of seriousness, that it can help teach planning and management of time. it lets you focus on what you want, the relationships you build feel real, and the reward of growing these digital plants feels good!
Anyone have any links to help me understand the terms, how they actually gather seismic data etc. I'm interested and would like to learn.
My experience with android has been very similar. For example, last week I ran into a bug that seems like a simple omission that was reported back in 2010 (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36918490). It took until Feb 12, 2019 to get an official response:

> We're planning to implement a new more powerful network request interception API in a future version, which will be available to L+ devices with a recent enough WebView via AndroidX. Being able to read POST bodies is one of the features we're intending to include. Unfortunately we can't share schedule information about when this may be available, but we are aware of this use case and intend to support it.

Instead of fixing bugs and making incremental improvements, they seem to have a strong propensity for grand rewrites.

I got tired of the constant parade of new Google APIs, libraries, and technologies years ago and have been choosing alternative products whenever possible.
Sounds like you've never used a good trackpad. When the trackpad driver is abysmal like it is on Linux, of course you prefer using a mouse.
For stroke-level information, you'll probably want something like https://github.com/skishore/makemeahanzi (for Chinese) or https://github.com/kanjivg/kanjivg (for Japanese).
Can you elaborate?

I disagree with you and I have been using both (as well as gcp) in production for years.

They are both platforms that you write an application stack against. One is portable and can run in any cloud, the other only works in AWS.

Just because one is ALSO a cloud provider doesn't make them incomparable.
In fact, my team does Kubernetes on OpenStack on Kubernetes. :)

It's OpenStack on Kubernetes because we deploy the OpenStack components on a baremetal Kubernetes cluster (with actual payloads running in VMware), and it's Kubernetes on OpenStack because we have an addon service that allows customers to spin up Kubernetes on the VMware VMs created by OpenStack. We also dogfood this because the baremetal Kubernetes cluster is not large enough to hold all our internal services.

> Roads, educational facilities, welfare, military, all of those expenses don’t disappear because someone decided to donate something.

They also wouldn't disappear if Morgan Freeman had decided to volunteer his labor for a foundation for free - thereby not earning any taxable income - yet the State would have to work it out. In this case, the labor donation was just done indirectly.
If you are getting fleeting moments of satisfaction managing people - that’s good. You have to give yourself a chance. Being a manager means getting things done through other people.You have to try to increase those moments as the manager where you feel your team is becoming more productive and happier. At the same time, you will also have to learn to give more constructive feedback to those who are not achieving. That’s not an easy job. But clearly, you have to give yourself more time to become more proficient at utilizing management skills. It can be extremely rewarding knowing that you have an impact on others’ lives. However, having said all this, there will come a point in time when you will have to be true to yourself. Managing people is not for everyone. You may decide that you absolutely truly love coding and go back to it. I want to make this very clear that this does not make you are a good or bad person. It simply is what it is. You have to decide ultimately in the short and intermediate term what truly makes you happy and where you can make the greatest contribution.

Sometimes getting a coach can help you learn the right skills or just be a good sounding board. Someone else offered a free coaching session which you should definitely try out, but if you want a long term solution, we offer unlimited coaching for new managers here: https://leadingup.co
Their help page claims a phone number can be linked to 10 accounts at once, but in practice I've found that limit to be 4 or even less. Also, they often prevent a number from being added to more accounts for a few days or weeks even if you remove it from all accounts.
Without knowing the median size of current bee sanctuaries it's impossible to say how 124 acres ranks. Perhaps the typical bee sanctuary is less than an acre.
I first created the language https://easyprog.online - intended as a learning language. And then I made some examples with this language. So these simple games have come.
This is just stupid misuse of terminology.

The Earth has been covered by ice multiple times in prehistory, but it has never been covered by land (in fact, it's unlikely that even a majority of Earth's surface was above sea level).

Glaciers are strictly overland formations.
Sounds like a fun project!

Isn't seL4's multicore support either unverified or limited (i.e. shared memory is forbidden)? Is your platform single-threaded then?
Running k8s in AWS (and gcp, and on-prem) is exactly what we do and we're really happy with it and have avoided lock-in. We recently moved a bunch of k8s-in-AWS hosted stuff to gcp and it was seamless.

There seem to be quite a lot of taxes on them eg

>This means that the marginal tax rate on PRT paying fields is now 81% (fields not paying PRT pay a rate of 62%) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_Revenue_Tax

That road leads to permaban from all of Google.
Translating something from docker-compose into k8s isn't generally hard. But yeah CFN is a nightmare, I wrote a bunch of tools to try make it suck less and contributed to stuff like cfndsl and I could still never get it to the point that I could have developers use it without an abstraction layer.

k8s definitely helps with the "all my apps stuff in one place that is easy to see". There are some pitfalls to avoid though. Don't use helm, it's bad for your health. Avoid deploying your own k8s cluster unless you really need to, just use GKE. Avoid custom resource definitions unless they are well supported, migrating off them can be hard - prefer tools that look at annotations etc (like external-dns, cert-manager and friends).

Of course things get difficult when you need statefulsets to run things like Kafka/ZK and friends but it's definitely possible and they run well once setup.

In my mind k8s is the only option right now that doesn't result in man-years being wasted on pointless AWS bullshit.
It's not and eventually they will have to find ways to provide POSIX compatibility, it can happen through a separate compatiblity layer or a library. You don't want to break compatibility with millions of lines of already written code if you want widespread adoption. No one is going to rewrite everything from scratch, just because Google says so.
Preferably something with the syntax of Java.
> And Azure is backed by Microsoft, GCP is backed by Google, so if "Bezos loses his mind" there will be other alternatives besides Kubernetes.

You missed the point that moving from AWS to GCP or Azure is going to be _extremely_ complex and expensive if you have used all those shiny AWS platform features. It is very easy if you are using k8s.
If you're considered too young to have the right judgement to vote, drink, die for your country or be married off (excepting the US states that still allow marriage from age 12[0]), you should also be too young to be held liable for fraud.

You're assuming the worst in people; let's give a counter example - in Portugal where they have decriminalised drugs, according to your theory not punishing people leads to worse outcomes, but decriminalisation reduced the country's drug problems.

Just because you believe one way of thinking about things does not mean that it will automatically be true. These things need to be tested to see if they help and I'm happy to be wrong.
They definitely do not delete it entirely because sometimes a phone number is prevented from being added to more accounts for a few days or weeks, saying "This phone number is already registered with another account" even if it's been already deleted from all accounts, though they may be just storing a hash of the number that's not linked to any user account.
London did it, and it had the effect of pushing people onto buses, taxis, and private hrie vehicles. The vast majority of those use diesel. London has terrible air quality as a result.

You need to give incentives for electric vehicles (especially if that's electric buses) and disincentives to diesel for it to really work.
Why so nihilistic? Systems are like that because people designed them this way. If it takes regulations to fix that problem, I'm all for it.
As somebody trying to make a living out of open source software, I am really glad of this new movement.

I predict that eventually we will see more and more projects following the same route and try to monetize their products and it will become much more normal, companies will get used to it and eventually everybody will be better off.
Deacy Amp
Its definitely widespread, I didnt want to imply it was just your family. There is a large group that cant handle admin rights responsibly. I just dont think general restrictions are in order here. We should much rather educate this group instead of giving up ownership over our devices. Especially since we dont have the appstore model out of security considerations, but because monopolists want to keep people in walled gardens. Ownership of your device is to great of a good to give it up in the name of security.
Open source does NOT equate to "giving away one's work for free", nor is there any "duty" to do anything like that. We really should put this misconception to rest. You can and should crowdfund open source work, or you can even just make it clear that you won't be expending any effort on maintaining the software and keeping it in a usable state unless someone sponsors your work with hard cash.

Noncommercial licenses (for software or content in general) are especially problematic, because there's no easily-ascertained notion of whether some use counts as "commercial" or not! These kinds of shenanigans are why so much useful software got lost in the 1980s and 1990s microcomputers era (despite being made widely available at some point), and that's exactly what the FLOSS and open-content movement strive to fix - we don't want something like that to happen again.

Can apps be decompiled easily?

I'd imagine one could download the app, report it for whatever (eg ads), wait for the automated system to remove it, then upload your own version (with ads, and what ever else).

Or if not decompiled, perhaps you got spearphished for access to your apps code, or it was acquired some other way.

Similar things probably happen as far as malicious reporting for sales platforms (like Amazon). If you 'steal' the product I imagine Amazon would even handover the original sellers good product reviews too.
I have container orchestration and management problem: use K8S.

I have the need to do business using computers: use AWS.

Lucky those that created their accounts early on.
Forcing us to put more data then what is needed should be banned from any social platform.
I really don't get any of this eager race to collect all personal data possible.
Google is already on to us with Chrome and Android. If people were really afraid of this they wouldn't even buy phones, do phone calls (from land line) or even send a personal registered mail (it could be violated). Hell, trust no one with your secrets. Don't even write it in a diary, someone may reconstruct it even after you burn it to ashes (I see a lot of CSI).
Still good to be updated on this.
IDK about Gitlab. Google has the worse reputation about keeping products alive. That reputation along with the privacy reputation is going to drive adopters away, especially the ones who are not using GitHub because of Microsoft.
It's feudalism, because you don't have a choice.
The thing I'm still a bit confused about is: is this a limitation with how their networks fundamentally work, or an artefact of my product choice when I buy a relatively cheap home Internet service? i.e. if I want a specialist low-latency and low-jitter link, could I not just pay for those benefits by purchasing a business-grade service? Or is there no distinction once the data gets onto a peered-network?

Or is the idea here that I don't have to cough up for all the benefits of that superior product when I only want some of them and only some of the time?

And this whole thing does rely on the bottleneck not being at then edge, which I don't see any proof of or reason for. EDIT: is there any proof/data to support this?
A guide to difficult conversations
It's strange how my perception of Google and its software has changed over the years.

When Android was first released I've put it to the same category with Open Firmware & Debian. Now when I see Fuchsia, I reflexively categorize as a pseudo-open source software, where you can see the code but cannot do anything useful on the long run, because it's designed to be downloadable but unusable for casual/research purposes.

Maybe "we put out the source for you to see and start to limit its free use when it matures enough" model gets tiring for me.
Is Python pass-by-reference or pass-by-value?
I really wish they didn't include this. Whilst kustomize is infinitely better than helm neither are good tools.
That said if there was a choice between the 2 kustomize wins hands down I guess.
> The value proposition for me is receiving targeted news/information disseminated in a convenient format. As a concrete example, I'm crewing/pacing at a 100 mile trail run in two weeks, and I'm subscribed to that event's twitter feed. It's the Umstead 100 in case you are curious (@Umstead100). During the event, it will tweet out news and updates of interest to participants, volunteers, and others.

> Yes, they could probably text everyone, or continuously update the website, or send emails - but Twitter is perfect for this situation and others like it: content/updates produces and consumed on mobile devices, sending frequent short updates with relevant info, etc.

Twitter is a poor choice for cases where you want to specifically subscribe to something, because it's deliberately designed as a global popularity contest/rage generator. A Facebook group, Discord, heck even Tumblr or Medium would be a better choice for that kind of use than Twitter.

> Twitter has its abuses, but so does everything. Next time you're ready to shit all over Twitter, just remember that what you are likely ACTUALLY raging about is their userbase, i.e. the public.

No, Twitter has a series of deliberate design decisions that result in worse interactions than any other platform. The limited message size strips away nuance and reasoned discussion, in favour of zingers and outrage. Their algorithmic feed shows the most "engaging" tweets while suppressing the follow-up discussion, so you'll see a controversial tweet without seeing the existing replies or subsequent retraction. The rage storms aren't just people being people, they're people being nudged into behaving a particular way by Twitter's optimized-for-engagement UI. There's a reason other platforms don't have these problems.
Is the conventional wisdom to still avoid self-hosting? I'd like to adopt k8s but managed hosting isn't feasible in our aws region or on-premise.
Big-O is an upper bound. Something that's O(n) is also O(n^2).
Can you explain this common mistake further?

> They're claiming there is no difference between groups because they were unable to show that, if there was an inherent difference, the chance they'd see these results is at most 5%.

It seems to me that they're claiming that they failed to reject the null hypothesis, the end. I.e. according to this statistic, there was no significant difference in the means between all groups in the ANOVA. This was a small sample size, but the analysis seems to include multiple trials for each participant.

This seems like a standard use of ANOVA to me. So how can you say that the alpha value is wrong just based on this one sentence from the abstract? It seems to me that you'd have to know the domain, know what effect to expect, and so on

How good would software and ml have to be before you wouldn't really need to have centralized forums? If the content of messages could be sufficiently indexed automatically- not in the sense of keyword searches but in the vein of actual comprehension- surely there are ways of doing that without anything that far from what currently exists. I don't think it would require skynet.

As someone who has only ever succeeded in bringing down the level of every discussion i have ever been in and never in contributing anything useful, it would be very helpful if i could just be automatically directed to the appropriate content sewer by posting my thoughts directly into a search engine that could dump them in the most suitable location.

No, not even a pass.
Google is making Vulkan a required API in Android Q, and they are updating ANGLE also run on top of Vulkan.

As for Fuchsia, given that the team comes from a different background and the OS APIs, I am not expecting the straightjaket experience from NDK.
> Is there a detailed description of Test.CoreLib anywhere?

You can see the code and README for it here https://github.com/dotnet/corert/tree/master/src/Test.CoreLi... and I also wrote a bit about it in this post https://mattwarren.org/2018/06/07/CoreRT-.NET-Runtime-for-AO...
Replacing seemingly elusive concept of X with more concrete and better defined concept of Y seems like a good starting point.

X != Y and X in {mind, information}, Y in {mind, information}

For me Kastrup's consciousness-only ontology suffers even more from elusiveness and hand waving.
Sure. I mean I think the whole discussion, right back to the root comment, is an unrealistic hypothetical.

The $2,000 refers to the estimated average cost of saving a malaria sufferer in certain countries.

But that's based on the cost of running a comprehensive program in which many people donate, many people help on the ground and many lives are saved.

In some other contexts it could cost much less to save a life. In others, no amount of money could save a particular person's life.

But many people give something to humanitarian charities from time to time and most people are comfortable that some of their taxes - probably more than $2000/year for most people in rich countries - are used for medical services, welfare systems and aid programs that save lives.

What I've written above is a reality-based comment on the way most people actually do expend funds that lead to lives being saved.

And I think it's related to the point you were trying to make at the start of your comment.

But veering into implausible hypotheticals about child hostages, and then passing character judgment based on an answer, starts turning a silly discussion into a toxic one.
Sounds like you live in a HOA
Great post. Long sequences are a problem I have been dealing with long enough now. Even though GRU outperforms LSTM in longer sequences, it still isn't enough and vanishing gradients problem is still experienced. Currently, one-dimensional convolution units are effective while dealing with longer time steps, but sadly it's not the precise unit people wish to use while processing longer time-steps.
Well:

- as I mentioned before the fact that they were actual open source compared to some of their competitors heavily the decision of the team I was on at that time to go with their commercial package. That advantage is gone now.

- I have spent a few hours voluntarily helping in debugging and following up a couple of issues because it was open source and I was helping us and everyone else.

- They might have gotten of the hook a bit easier a couple of times (bugs, half a year of delays) than if they'd been commercial.

I don't know, I thought many people here would do the same but I don't know so I cannot say how much goodwill they are losing.
You haven't, but many people do; they include extraneous words, or write overly precise queries (like including specific their specific laptop model number, which only sells in our small country, rather than a general model name), then get frustrated they can't find anything.

So you also agree that there's no standoff between AWS and K8s, unlike an article titled "'AWS vs. K8s' Is the New 'Win vs Linux'" would suggest?

It also talks about building a personal data center quite a few times (at least that's how I read it).

K8s is likely to replace EC2, ECS, and all other unusable amazon bloat to become the default AWS API. But it's not going to damage AWS, it's going to enhance it and become part of it.
People say this a lot, but I think their behavior makes more sense when you view the end user as the product. Who cares about API stability, the advertisers are getting exactly what they want.
Yeah but then you just go to a server with good admins..

Those servers are the reason games like CoD4 and CS survived for decade(s).

You get the power of choice.
