They do this to protect their brand. If you register for a brand, you must specify for which types of goods or services your brand should be valid. These types are categorized into so called nice classes [1], where each class has a number and covers a group of products. E.g. class 12 is for cars and class 29 is for meat products, including sausages. Your brand registration can include one or multiple nice classes, and different owners can own different nice classes for the same brand.

Volkswagen posesses a multitude of brands. First, one registered in 1956 [2] that's specific to cars, and another one registered in 1998 [3] that includes every single nice class not covered by the first brand registration.

Having a brand registered is not enough. You must actually place a product into the market, otherwise your government granted monopoly on the brand becomes invalid. They just don't want people to make Volkswagen sausages so they have to do their own.

Our local hospital tried to charge our insurance $20k for 1 hour of the recovery room and $25k for 1 hour of the surgery room.

We have a friend whose hospital tried to charge them $15k for a delivery room they never used - never used because the doctors forgot about them and she delivered her own baby in the hallway. Talk about two major fuckups in a row.
Actually, if we assume the previously posted £10,000/year, and three years for a Bachelor's they'd have a £30,000 debt. Assuming no interest, since it's only the amount over £25,725 that's taxed they'd have to average £25,725+((£30,000/30)/.09), or £36,836.11, over 30 years to fully repay, which I think is a much more reasonable number outside of HCOL areas.

I'm not sure if they account for inflation or have any fixed interest on the loans. 30 years without any would be pretty crazy.
Whether the unwashed are hopeless or not, victim-shaming to protect a corporation is never a good look.
All you're doing is being petty and generally terrible. Why?
that’s overly controlling and intrusive.
Marketing isn't intrinsically evil. The positive side, for example, might be showing people how great switching to wireless headphones is going to be, (justifying the expense) and then hey what do you know these really are awesome!

Marketing at its best is helping people see how a product fills a need or makes their life better in a way that might not have been clear at first.

You are not being the devil's advocate here.

Whatever MS, Google or Facebook do its the end of the world (as it should), but apparently for the HN crowd, Apple can do whatever they want.

This monopoly over our digital life will have severe consequences in the future. People here are so smart, but when its about Apple, their sentimental reasoning start triggering.

Actions like this one, as many others, are some of the reasons why i never use anything from Apple. Its like a car factory being able to decide where you cannot go with "their" car (Its yours). Or the clothing company choosing the places i can use "their" clothes.

The hacker spirit here ends when is anything related to Apple, when in doubt just read the top comments here in this thread. Its not a 'benevolent ditactor hacker' sort of social contract.. its a company which need to raise their profits so their shares keep being valuable to the stock market. If consumers and developers let them, they will own our digital life, and lock us with them.

We have no legal framework, and no State to intervene in our interests as it should be.. States and democracies are a dying species, and we are the ones to blame.. we, as in the general population, just want the next shiny gadget.

But i bet we will miss the things we have, but dont give much value now. Lets not forget the share of our lives that are constantly being transfered to the digital dimension, and how important they are now.

Find companies on job boards, find jobs on company sites. Glassdoor to check if it's relatively OK. Resume doesn't mean much because even with tailoring I got nothing. But if you do need to, use .docx files. Avoid PDF, it can't be parsed correctly (most of the time) because it's a print format, not a text format.
Avoid using Monster at all costs. The number of emails I got for things I wasn't even remotely qualified for was insane.
I tried. I couldn't come up with a charitable interpretation of "harms far more people" that I could respond to in a meaningful way. So I concluded that it was a troll and lashed out.

It'd probably be better if I just ignored the comment. But I think the claim "harms far more people" is absurd if you consider the unequal harms done to women through history, and the fact that they're half the population. The commenter didn't make an effort to engage in good faith discussion with my post so it's unreasonable to apply the same standard to me.

I'm happy to reply to comments like yours though.

Once upon a time, a few employers back, I took a couple year detour into our internal IT department... One day our manager had the misfortune of being asked to help the head of sales with their commission calculation spreadsheet. The IT manager, bless their heart, decided they needed to share a glimpse of that information with someone, and for whatever reason that landed on me.

Every salesperson on that spreadsheet who wasn't on the cusp of being let go was earning more in commission than the cash compensation of any executive listed in our public filings. Our couple of SEs were above Director title comp.

It was a minor shock seeing those numbers, but they reflect a pretty basic economic reality: Acquiring $1 of ARR can be worth quite a bit.

Sure, it's naive to say that Sales Trumps Everyone, Always. But most of the time, for a business with a high enough CLTV to justify having a salesforce, it would be an exceptionally bad sign to see general lay-offs impacting Sales as much as the rest of a company.
Monzo offers push notifications within 5 seconds of card payments. Customers love that feature. Traditional banks don't offer it, probably because none of their batch computer systems can do anything in 5 seconds. That has been the status quo for 5+ years, and I don't see it changing.
Who says nuclear is carbon neutral? It definitely has a footprint. But so does solar, wind, and hydro. All 4 of which are extremely small though. The advantage nuclear has over the other two is that it can generate power 24/7, it can vary its output, and it has a small footprint on land usage per kilowatt-hour it produces.

AFAIK there are no high energy producers that are end-to-end carbon neutral (or negative). Doing so needs some type of sequestration.

You could charge $60/month and assuming there are no marginal costs to providing service and everybody subscribes (two big assumptions) that would be >7% yearly yield. Not bad at all, actually, in ideal circumstances.
If people honestly wanted or needed a particular thing, then marketing would be irrelevant. We've been manufacturing demand to meet supply for decades now. It is fundamentally a disingenuous act.
There's a long history of the government preventing abuse when one party in a relationship is not capable of evaluating the other party. We see certifications for various roles from tax preparers to hairdressers, we see limits on what can be sold as food and medicine (unfortunately not enough limits in the US).

Would you consider such (common) systems to be authoritarian?

It is unfortunate that technology evolves so much faster than the average person's understanding of it. It both places a huge need on such intermediaries being present, but puts the running of such an intermediary outside of an entity supposedly operating in the public good (like the government) and into the hands of a corporation that may in one way or another be motivated to abuse such a role - and even if they try not to, being a for-profit gate-keeper guarantees they will be perceived as abusing such a role.
Yes, you could do that, but 99% of people are going to have no idea how to do that, or even why they should. As a result, the few companies that own the centralized platforms still get the authority to dictate how computing works, and to block you from distributing software that threatens their interests.

>the "demonstrate a vulnerability exploit on a live system" game creates greater value than a video game

Right, but there are instances where you can train for that live demonstration, like CTFs in self-contained environments like virtual machines.

Seems pretty similar in scope to a video game to me. I think you're more accurately complaining about games that provide little value beyond the skinner box. What about stuff like Shenzhen I/O, Factorio, etc? You could even make strong case for RTS games teaching transferable skills.
I’m not sure they are selling almost 7 million sausages a year just to protect their brand and their ability to make other food products if they so choose. If it was Porchse novelty turkey jerky I would agree, this seems like a real business and tradition for VW.
Cloud Run is in beta, so technically it could be decided not to bring it to GA. This is why some conservative orgs tend to wait for products to be GA before releasing them.

Ah that's one reason not to use GCP betas. Another big one is the complete lack of any public uptime target. In my opinion, this makes the betas nearly as bad as alphas with respect to using them in production.

The people falling off is just one example of death, not the only. You have to include total solar, industrial and home. But you get numbers that show that per kwhr nuclear results in less deaths (even when including predictions of deaths caused by future cancer incidents from Chernobyl and Fukushima). It honestly is a surprising result.

> The "1990s Computing Power" comment is ignorantly harsh.

I don't think so. You build a plane that's expected to run for decades -- if you put a 2010 computer in there now, it'll be 20 years old in 2030.

That 1990's computer was put there in the 90's, does that really make it more reliable?
My experience visiting two years ago, it was spotty. If you're in town or along an interstate, it's usually good coverage, but maybe not great speeds. E.g. my phone would show 5 bars coverages, but the speeds were noticibly far slower than what I get in Chicago.

I was able to get serviceable, if albeit slow 4G LTE coverage at my parents' home about 7 miles out of town and about 1000 feet on the side of a mountain, but sitting in town at a brewery with a cell tower in sight out of the window, I couldn't get any signal at all. I presume the tower I could see was from an incompatible network.

In Montana, I've been able to get surprisingly strong signals in places I'd least expect it. E.g. I was hiking in the Bitterroot National Forest up Lolo peak, and I had near perfect coverage for nearly my entire hike as far back as 2006. But, if you head out into north eastern Montana, you may well find yourself in a dead zone for quite a while. I dont know if it is still the case, but used to be cells were useless anywhere near an ICBM silo (of which there are quite a few along route 200 east of Great Falls, MT - I attended a boy scout camp a few times out that way in the late 90s).

Regarding 5G, not sure it would help much in my parent's situation as I understand it is even more reliant upon line of site and more susceptible to interference from weather. There are decently sized mountains blocking them between the closest decently sized city and them. There would probably need to be a series of relay towers to overcome that.
> what you do is wrong. To it's very core. You're attempting to take away people's free will, using the dirtiest tactics one could imagine. Emotional manipulation, exploiting peoples insecurities, their need to feel a certain level of status from their peers: these are staple tactics of a marketer

For the record, this is not what marketing professionals do. What you are talking about is somewhere between black-hat advertising and lifestyle advertising (which is much deeper than "manipulation").

I personally like 'tptacek's definition of marketing (at least within the tech area he was in at the time):

> Marketing is product definition, awareness, lead gen, conversion, and then the measurement and improvement of same.

From: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1024678

That definition describes the field much more reasonably.
You are on my page. Type certification is the process to discover issues like this.

I'm not familiar with pilot training and certification but it seems to me that even if the 737 MAX was type certified certifying a pilot with previous 737 experience would have been just supplemental training. Ultimately a nothing burger.

I've seen a lot of cases where people get bent thinking of all the bad things that will happen because they think customers won't like some change. Always in the end if it's not a show stopper the customers just lump it.

Title shortened from "White nationalists and the alt-right are disillusioned with Trump — and some are joining the Yang Gang" to fit.

There has been some discussion of Andrew Yang's candidacy for US President in 2020 here, because he's proposing a universal basic income and is getting a fair bit of support.

If the article is to be believed, he's also getting some support from disillusioned white nationalists, which is certainly unexpected since he is non-white and running as a Democrat.

That was so weird and unexpected it seemed worthy of a submission even though it is political.
We had a pretty definitive answer last WWDC during the session on notarizing. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2018/702/

Developer ID signing will eventually be replaced with notarized Developer ID signing, on some suitably long roadmap that can be assumed to first involve a change in new app signing, then developer warnings of impending change of default on new OS version, that new OS version having user visible warnings, finally having the old developer id signatures ignored (making apps behave as unsigned, requiring the same right-click opening/exempting as today)

For those who are looking for my entry into the pool - the OS changeover for user-visible warnings will be this time next year, with it made obvious (at WWDC 2020) that the September 2020 macOS major release will make the final change to ignore old non-notarized signatures.
Exploit for CVE-2019-0211 Apache Root Privilege Escalation
We know for a fact that some phones are secretly listening and uploading stuff.[1-4] It's done by spying apps. How do we know? Because there are tons of researchers reverse engineering stuff trying to find this stuff. These researchers are extremely hungry for a big find, for some big publicity. They're searching very hard to find a big player doing it, but none of the big players are doing it, so they only make small headlines with the small players they find.

Why exactly does this author think an airplane needs a lot of computing power? Airplane software does not deal with especially large amounts of data or intense computations. Faster hardware does not provide an inherent safety benefit.

There is a large degree of coupling between avionics hardware and software amd updating that software is prohibitively expensive. There's just no point in doing it unless you get a tangible benefit.

Furthermore, avionics systems take a long time to develop are not often rebuilt from scratch, so the hardware naturally lags far behind the computing power we're used to.

The recycling of avionics systems is definitely fueled by a desire to reduce costs. However, it's also important to note that older, mature systems with a history of service inherently offer a degree of safety compared to something which is untested.

The issue this article complains about can easily be seen as a safety feature.

To be fair, the author does spend most of the article talking about missing features and design issues rather than harping on "processing power". It is a poor title.

In rural areas at least it is not going to cost 40k a mile to run coax. Those kinds of areas are almost always serviced by overhead utility lines that already exist, and just running a new line on those poles just requires township permit. It would be probably an order of magnitude cheaper than the buried lines or new lines building required in other circumstances.

It's hard, but it's a very measurable problem.

You randomly deform the airframe in a physics simulator, then get a real pilot to try to fly the simulated damaged airframe to the nearest airport.

You then get an AI to try doing the same.

As soon as the AI manages to get to the airport more often than the human, the tech will save lives, on average.

My guess is a PhD student could come up with an AI passing the above test inside a year. Yet aviation standards are stringent enough AI will be decades away from production use, if ever.
