I'm very interested in music but I won't pay for low-quality streaming and music I've paid for that could disappear at any time or be geoblocked.

If it's not DRM-free FLAC that I can easily convert to MP3 for the car/portable player, or whatever format I may choose in the future, then I'm not paying for it.

It's interesting (at least to me) because it's different from anything else out there. The way it runs, the way it is compiled and the language itself are nearly unique. It's also easy to bootstrap on very small machines and fairly easy to implement. It's the light saber of programming languages, "a more elegant language for a more elegant time". But then, that could just be the nostalgia talking...

I agree. I don't think I actually have an issue with the trade war, but I have lots wrong with how the current administration is going about it, and I don't have any faith in their ability to extract a positive outcome from China.
Hi!
We have two callback options - for 'Classic' and REST. I checked both of them and they both return the proper UA.

Can you let me know if this is Webhooks or IPN and if you saw this in production or sandbox?

Thanks!

Thank fuck he does, quite frankly. We all dodged a bullet there.
I read your comment once thinking it said something, but I couldn't remember what. So then I read it again, and again, then suddenly realized you didn't actually say anything at all. You could replace the single word "China" with just about anything and it would carry the same semantic weight.

> It is overdue but it's being prosecuted under a flawed understanding of almost all aspects of the situation and inane and unfocused policy.

What is the understanding, who understands it, and why is their understanding flawed? What is the policy? Why is the policy inane and unfocused? What is the correct understanding and what would be the substantive and focused policy?

> You tackle China first while building an economic coalition of interests with shared goals.

Which aspect of China should be tackled--just IP or something else? Who should be part of the coalition? Or do you mean with other nations? Which goals are shared? Why are those the goals? How are those goals different from the goals held by those who have a flawed understanding, or do they share the same goals?

> A sane and competent person would focus on one task at a time and not undercut the strategic interests required to achieve that task, achieving perhaps effectively nothing.

Who is insane and incompetent person to which you seek to draw a contrast? What is it about their position that leads to the evaluation they are mentally deranged or incompetent? What are the multiple tasks they are focused on? Which one particular task should they focus on? Why is it necessary to focus on one task? Are they the correct tasks? What are the strategic interests? Who holds those strategic interests? Are they they the correct strategic interests? Why are they undercutting those strategic interests? How do those strategy-level issues affect the implementation-level tasks? What would be achieved if their tasks and strategies were aligned?
They didn't target China at all. They were resigned to the fact that it would be immediately cloned in that market so they never bothered.

The details are readily available in the linked thread but the gist of it is that most of the world operates on a "first to use" basis to prove trademark ownership while China uses a "first to file" basis.

Apple is tacitly saying that the Chinese system takes precedence. Even in the US. It's absurd.
> This seems to primarily only protect against passive listeners [1].

Which is still useful in that it prevents organizations from simply 'tapping glass'.

I'll take the imperfect security of forcing various agencies to expend resources to go after me personally (which is a small chance of happening) versus the ease of them simply vacuuming up all the bits.

It's why I also think that unauthenticated encryption is useful even if it doesn't protect against active attacks: the extra resources needed for the active component forces the adversary to make choices on who to target.
> without a doubt 64-bit integers is a win

I'm not so sure about that. There is an alternative implementation of Lua called LuaJIT, which uses a similar NaN-tagging trick, and it also happens to be incredibly fast. LuaJIT uses the 5.1 version of the language, with some backported 5.2 features for compatibility, but it will likely never backport 64-bit integers from 5.3.

It's resulted in something like the Python 2/3 split. Except it's even worse because Lua has relatively little penetration as a general purpose scripting language, but is quite popular as a language that can be embedded in a program to add scripting capabilities. This means it's up to the developer of said program which version of Lua they choose to embed, and from what I can tell, most developers choose speed over 64-bit integer support.

In my view one of the most significant advances of TCPCrypt is setting appropriate layering.

Past cryptographic network transports have committed the sin of layer violation by conflating stream management with correspondent authentication. Authenticating that you are talking to whom you think you're talking to is a complex, highly application specific process which in many cases even requires its own UI.

The code to implement authentication is complex and has (e.g. x509 parsing) frequently been a source of vulnerabilities, making it unattractive for implementation in network stacks. Witness the use of TLS for non-webby applications where there aren't readily user provided domain names and things don't fit nicely into a one-side-authenticated server/client model-- they often turn into key management nightmares.

TCPcrypt handles the stream encryption and integrity in the network layer where it can do so seamlessly. It hands up the stack the required hooks so that authentication can be performed in whatever way makes sense for the application. As a bonus, even when authentication isn't used applications are protected against dragnet passive content surveillance.
>'The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) defines a trademark as a "word, phrase, symbol, or design, or a combination thereof," used to identify and distinguish a company's goods. A service mark is essentially the same thing but pertains to services rather than goods. Your mark (either trademark or service mark) is legally protected through common law once it goes into commercial use, but sometimes it makes sense to register your mark.'

Citizens United was a massive win for the people against the media companies. Without it the media companies get to decide everything people hear because nobody else is allowed to put forth anything like that level of resources toward political speech. That's why you always hear the media whinging about it -- it's the only way anybody else has any hope of challenging their narratives in front of more of an audience than an individual YouTube channel.

Obviously the poor have no money to buy ads with, but we're not talking about the poor here. Nobody seriously running for office is poor. This is a battle between people who are rich enough to buy ads on a TV network and people who are rich enough to buy the TV network, and Citizens United is a win for the "little guy" in that situation.

The big problem we have in elections isn't that someone can be heard too well, it's that some people can't be heard well enough. But the answer to that is public financing of elections, which doesn't require restricting private speech in any way.
This is my experience as well. I've done both, and made more money off one-time software sales (rather than patreon-supported OSS) but it was completely unpredictable. There are toxic outcomes from that: you start tailoring your output to what you think the market will do big numbers on, rather than what's good. Being a small business person can be brutal and it doesn't always lead to you doing good work: it can lead to very cynical exploitation of your perceived market, just to survive for another month.

* 10 million = get 1.8 million (82%)

* 100 million = get 11 million (89.1%)

I don't particularly like the idea of coupling together one problem (poverty) with another (carbon).

For one thing, it will be a temporary windfall. Then you've got to find ways to replace the revenue when you succeed.

I'd rather see the revenue from a carbon tax go into research, development, and infrastructure that further accelerates the transition to carbon neutral energy.

Obviously, the tax already gives you an incentive to look for other alternatives, but this helps make those other alternatives more practical, so it kind of pushes and pulls you in the right direction.

in modern times how often has China intervened in the affairs of a foreign state?

Often. North Korea on a regular basis, Vietnam, their relations with Taiwan are a mess that needs books to cover, and their relationship with Russia over Russia's eastern border is, at best, unpleasant. I'm sure a little google-fu would reveal more. They're a world power. Interfering with other countries is part of that package.

You’re leaving out that the file in question was supposed to be temporary (via a server up for a few hours) and the BitTorrent leak happened later, unbeknownst to the Guardian staff, when WikiLeaks reused the same password for an insurance distribution.

In my line of work there are perverse incentives for hyping up new stuff and then not dealing with bugs and problems. It's not been me doing that but I've suffered by comparison against others who embraced that dark pattern.

Complaints are publicity. They bump internet discussions, create buzz, and often go along with protestations of 'I really love (FooBazBar), I promise it's the best thing ever, now if you would only fix this bug…' and then angry flames over the bugs and defenders coming to protect the honor of FooBazBar.

Fix bugs and people are happy and stop talking. They return to happily using the product. Again, we're talking perverse incentives for just the sort of obnoxious behavior you describe, or worse.

But is it worldwide under just the Chinese name "点击英雄" or also the English name "Clicker Heroes"? The only relevant reply I saw was not definitive on this:

> We can re-name it in China, yeah. With a ton of effort changing all of the artwork we created with the old name. But renaming "Clicker Heroes" (which we already trademarked) in the U.S. and EU would be senseless

Initially I thought it was the latter but now I think it is the former (only the Chinese name affected).

Edit: this reply from the reddit thread but not be the game author suggests it is the former as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/bs6n3l/apple_remov...

Honestly, it's not that big a deal, in my opinion. Firstly, it looks much better, since the operators, i e. the ideas I'm most familiar with, take up the least space. Secondly (and more stupidly), millions of programmers don't even know English and they've managed to get by with ifs and elses, so I'm sure we'll manage.

You need some way of serialization that makes clear it was serialized as a BigInt and thus must be de serialized as a BigInt without the likelihood of it misinterpreting the data like 9n being a tractor model. A single indicator would be too error prone, so the schema has to be more complex. With that complexity it needs to perform and be (cheaply) verifiable.

Quickest thing I can think of is storing it as power of 2 + the difference ending with character n as good measure.
It is easy to serialize/de-serialize and you can verify the number by re-serializing to be a proper BigInt and not for instance a String. Confusion still would be possible, but rare.
So 1 would be stored as 0+1n, 42 would be stored as 5+10n, etc.
If however you want to drive Serious Money into actually funding OSS projects please remember this: While virtually no company has a donations budget, almost every company has a $$$ marketing budget.

I've done a lot of volunteer work over the years and I've spent a lot of years developing web projects (not as a programmer).

The thing is that idealistic efforts and commercial efforts tend to have an inherent conflict of interest that a donation model helps get around.

I take tips and Patreon on my projects, plus I do a certain amount of paid work. The minute you start commercializing it, you need to do it for the money and someone else will be telling you what matters to them. It actively interferes with you doing what you think is best organically.

Once in a while, someone manages to find some sweet spot where their career and their ideals fit together nicely. But most folks need to do drudge work that they don't find morally objectionable to pay the bills, then find other avenues to express their ideals.

I think it's a great thing that it is now possible for some people to do a thing for idealistic reasons or the like and have a few bucks kicked their way for their trouble. But I think it kind of misses the point if you want to suggest ways to commercialize it. People can already do that by starting a regular, old fashioned business.

OSS is generally about doing a thing that serves humanity in some important metrics. And I wish serving humanity and making a profit were easier to marry together. But, in practical terms, I think that's just a hard thing to do.

Giving people a third option to do a thing they believe in and have a few bucks kicked their way seems like a way out of that trap so more people can try to do things "for the right reason" rather than for the almighty dollar.

Well, that's a system of notation, not a programming language. And it's name isn't properly "Z", it's "Z notation".
