Don’t take my word for it; read the FSF directly:

https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/more-about-the-app-store...

The GPL has been in existence since long before the Apple app store, and the rules of the GPL are not meant to restrict appearances of GPLed programs in Apple’s or any similar app store; i.e. the FSF is not deliberately boycotting the Apple app store here. It is Apple, which, as part of their rules for all programs distributed in the app store, prescribes that the software may not be used in certain ways – including some ways which the GPL was explicitly made to allow end users to use the software in. Since the very point of the GPL is to allow end users to do these things, Apple is the one being restrictive here.
This is a bit cartoony. The US never closed "all" of its secure centers.

It also never really effectively tried deinstitutionalization; the funding for community care never reached the anticipated levels and ultimately the whole thing turned into a cost-saving measure (close the snake pits, but then conveniently decide not to build the things that were meant to substitute for them).

Claiming that you see crazy homeless people ergo "community care and modern treatment is ineffective" skips over the fact that this treatment is underfunded and hasn't really been tried on most of the US. It should be the first line of defence, and will be way cheaper than locking everyone up again.

There will always be incurables who need to be in institutions, but the current regime is creating way more people who appear this way (often after having been traumatized by prison and homelessness).

Delirium seems like quite a strange and unusual description of the refined mental states achieved through meditation and the subsequent extinguishing of suffering. Like this dictionary definition of delirium:

> an acutely disturbed state of mind characterized by restlessness, illusions, and incoherence, occurring in intoxication, fever, and other disorders.

That’s quite the opposite of jhana, nirodha, or nirvana, right?
I think culture used to be more united. There were significant limitations in the channels for producing and consuming culture.

Used to be, to get people to read your writing, you had to go through either the effort of printing and distribution, or you had to submit to some editorial selection and review. Then the only channel people had to consume it was to get a physical print of it.

Now anyone can write anything and anyone can read it. The channels of culture have exploded to infinity. This has caused culture to be fractured.

Used to be that most people watched what was on tv, read what's in the paper, and listened to what's in the radio. This formed a foundation of shared cultural experience. It's more varied and accessible compared to centuries of only oral tradition and limited printing, but compared to today, pretty much everyone experienced the same culture.

Today it feels like culture has fractured. Even members of the same household might not watch, read, or listen to the same things. The physical proximity no longer guarantees any shared culture.

Now if you want to enjoy culture in a group, you must either find it online, or you must be a cultural advocate for whatever your views or media are and build a community around you.

Game of Thrones has been one of the most popular TV shows at all time, yet almost no one has found it just by flicking through the TV in that time slot. Game of Thrones was advocated for by superfans.

Although there are certainly advantages to access any type of culture we want, it's definitely more complex. I can't just talk to someone about sports, the show last night, or the new hit song. Because even though I might live or work with someone, first I have to figure our the cultural choice they've been making.
Mary Meeker's New Fund Chooses Canva for Debut Deal
My mother is a nursing assistant at a hospital. She's in the gastro wing where they do endoscopies and colonoscopies, most times with propofol sedation.

This stuff is true. She tells me people often experience discomfort and pain, and even complain during the examination (they don't go completely unconscious), but after they've woken up, they don't remember it! They may have some lingering pain, but they don't feel bad about the examination. The doctors say it went well, and they believe it.
Yes, it comes from Persian language speakers.

The name of the country that some insist on calling "Persia" is and has always been Iran. Earliest written records are from the Sasanid Empire. "Persia" (meaning Fars) is merely a province of Iran. Iran means "the nation of the Aryans"

So a nuclear accident in the US is only insured up to ~$13 billion?

The numbers I can find on the cost of the Fukushima Daiichi accident are higher than that (and I wonder how reliable they are):

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/08/opinion/playing-pass-the-...

Japan’s leaders hope to restore for human habitation more than 100 cities, towns and villages scattered over hundreds of square miles. The government has allocated more than $15 billion for this work.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jan/31/possible...

In December, the government said the estimated cost of decommissioning the plant and decontaminating the surrounding area, as well as paying compensation and storing radioactive waste, had risen to 21.5 trillion yen ($187bn), nearly double an estimate released in 2013.

(Interestingly, Wikipedia claims that the insurance policies that applied to Fukushima Daiichi specifically excluded accidents caused by earthquake/tsumani.)

Of course, with insufficient insurance coverage, when faced with a major accident the company owning the plant will just declare bankruptcy and leave the tax payer to pay for the mess.

So we have another case of "privatize the profits, socialize the losses", which IMHO is one of the biggest problems with nuclear energy, and is effectively a subsidy that keeps the price artificially low.

Another example was the cluster bombing along the borders of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos - hundreds of millions of bomblets were dropped, which still kill and maim to this day.

This bombing campaign was reckless in the extreme, and with complete disregard for human life - if anyone other than the US had done this, they would have been ostracised and declared war criminals.

Some more info on cluster munitions[0], which the US continued to use in more recent times in Iraq and Afghanistan, and AFAIK they still refuse to sign the anti-cluster bomb CCM treaty that around 100 nations have signed.

I have been a regular visitor to the USA, and lived there for some time in between, and seen it over most of my life as a visitor. A time period of 45 years, almost.

From here, you truly see what is rotten in the state of Kansas.

Of course, we can go to all of the major American cities, but there is nothing more sobering from the glitzy side of downtown than to go work in a soup kitchen, if they still have them, just a few short blocks away from the wealth.

It is a sad memory of America. But always an honest one.
Make having children no longer be a right and instead be subject to conditions (like only one child per woman, or a large tax, or traded permits, or requirement to put millions of dollars in escrow for the child, etc.).

Abort all children unless the condition is met, and if they are birthed in violation of that, take them away from the mother and imprison her.

Did you read the comments for the article? This has the width of the Overton Window laid bare for you. The consent has already been manufactured! Nobody dare cross the line and say how cool they are with Huawei products.

We have short memories, not so recently the Koreans were the ones doing all the IP theft, but nowadays Samsung is legit. Or you can go further back to when everything except and IBM PC (or Apple) was a clone.

Going further back, in the world of automotive, when a special product comes out, e.g. the MINI in the UK, the first thing Ford does is to buy one and take it to pieces, cost the whole package and work out how it is done.

There are places I have worked where there have been cupboards full of rival products, tested to destruction. It is called research.

What is quite interesting with the narrative is that Huawei have got there in the execution of 5G and they are allegedly ahead. Imagine if Huawei got to setup a colony on Mars first, we could complain that they stole Elon Musk's ideas and throw toys out of prams, to ignore accomplishments and execution.

Clearly the Overton Window is defined on this, and woe betide anyone that ignores it. So how does one avoid flamewar? Humour always helps. IS there any original IP in this WSJ article? Is it actually novel? Have they stolen content from other articles? Have they nicked content from the Washington Post? Their Huawei trolling is far from investigative journalism.
By labeling the solution as "community care" you are really not proposing a solution: what are the implementation steps for your solution?

We don't need more money, we don't need more programs. We need an implementation checklist.

You see, we as a society need to take it step by step and adopt a scientifical method in dealing with this problem. The first step is to prevent the mentally ill and drug-addicted from being a danger to the community and to themselves. So bring back the institutions as that first step.

Then a second step, we need to identify groups of people that we decide to re-introduce with "community care", monitor their results and keep them accountable. Each one of them will most likely respond differently to different implementations of what you call "community care". Give it a time duration too, and observe the behavior. And so on.

Finally, there will be individuals fully re-introduced into society. There will also be individuals that need a little bit of extra effort to make that happen. But like with any group, statistically there will be individuals too dangerous that must stay in the institutions for their own health.

>lack of social media which is 99.999999% absolute informational garbage.

The purpose of social media isn't to provide "information," but to facilitate communication between people. Making jokes or discussing trivial matters which don't interest you personally, or not doing so in a way that maximizes information density, does not make it garbage.
The Universe as Cosmic Dashboard
I don't think currency movements create or destroy wealth: at most, they just shift it around. I could just as easily argue that the drop in the pound created wealth among the UK's trading partners.

What a drop in FX rate does result in is a (possibly minor, possibly major) uptick in inflation as imports become more expensive. It also makes the country's exports more competitive since they're cheaper in relative terms.

Some countries actually see a low FX rate as desirable: reduction in the exchange rate is arguably one of the channels that made QE an effective policy.

> By labeling the solution as "community care" you are really not proposing a solution: what are the implementation steps for your solution?

I'm not proposing anything new, I'm proposing the model that is used by most other developed countries and is being successfully used in some parts of the United States. If you think that "community care" is some vague pie-in-the-sky notion rather than an established approach to care with a proven track record, then there's very little point in continuing this discussion.

> In the initial days of the iPhone, apps used to sell for as much as Mac apps.

In the initial days of the iPhone, there were no third party apps. You only got Apple's apps plus any web bookmarks you wanted to add to your home screen. Then some people worked out how to force the phone to sideload apps against Apple's wishes.

Some time after that, Apple published an SDK and opened a store.

The way the store evolved to make apps discoverable encouraged app developers to steadily reduce their prices.

App developers can set their own prices per-country, but most accept the defaults.
After digging in on this series of case law, it's also important to note it has its origins in the L'Oreal decision that lets Google off the hook but is mostly about fining eBay.

No, i don't think so. But, dictionary definition, popular opinion, respectable / appreciated opinions. I can identify the impossiblity of objectivity inherent in the question, but doing so is dismissive. Sometimes sure, people are immature, unreasonable, careless.

I can't understand the mentality that acts with malice to others out of what comes from hatred of the self. Your statement does not imply the this but it suggests it.

The philosophy of self acceptance is pure torture, but it would be less so if thought - obvious effort - was itself valued. It being non obvious affects some, not others. Someone said preaching is moral violence, once.

A puzzle with no solution, or identification of solutions yield, possibly, equivalent problems. Tautological to suggest the solution can not be identified by the observer, but, provably incomplete, yet, believed to be the standard to measure against.

Yes _if_, but many websites have moved on to client side rendering because if done right it delivers a better user experience for the 99% of users that have JS turned on, because there is no latency between page transitions.

Sure, passive content such as nytimes.com can work without JS (although some of their interactive articles would not), but anything more complicated will often be done with client side rendering these days.

The whole attitude behind that - you think trade is a war were you want to extort as much as you can from the other country?

Win-Win trades to exist.

I find the argument of the bargaining position rather one more argument against the EU. Their value proposition is "if you join us, we won't break your neck with trading"? Doesn't sound like the paragon of the free world they would like to be seen as.

If people don't want your stuff, trade agreements won't save you. If they want your stuff, they'll find ways to trade with you.

Unless you very carefully preserve a stable of old devices with old versions of the OS, it's very challenging to test new software on older operating systems.

That's one of my least favorite parts of the ecosystem.

If a customer reports a problem on an iOS 12.0.x device, and I didn't go out of my way to keep one of my devices stuck on 12.0.x or to preserve the signatures from an old build, there is no way for me to go get a 12.0 device to troubleshoot their problem (unless I get lucky on eBay or similar) and no way for me to install 12.0 on a device I have sitting in my desk drawer.

Apple does not want people sticking to old versions of the OS, and makes it hard for app developers to support those who do.

When we were running a small company [edit: in the UK] we tried and failed to get an overdraft facility with our bank, and I think it was this failure which led to us having chronic cash-flow problems at the end of every month and for me at least it massively increased the stress of running the business. So line of credit == good!

I would just say that the time to get a line of credit is when things are going well. When you've got plenty of cash on hand and regular payments into your account from customers (or investors I suppose), that is the time to ask the bank for an overdraft facility / line of credit. The worst time to ask is when you need it.

In hindsight I'd say get one even if you never anticipate needing to use it. (As far as I know an overdraft which you don't use is free.)
> Going further back, in the world of automotive, when a special product comes out, e.g. the MINI in the UK, the first thing Ford does is to buy one and take it to pieces, cost the whole package and work out how it is done.

Everyone does this, here's an article from 2006 detailing this: https://www.wired.com/2006/02/teardown/

The point is, this kind of behavior - taking a stock product and disassembling it to its pieces - is not theft. The real theft that mainly originates from China (no matter if via the "legal" route of buying up Western companies or force "technology transfer" via joint ventures or via hacking) that does real damage is stealing the know-how in manufacturing which the original manufacturer has spent most of the R&D budget for.

I can go ahead, do a 360° photography of my toaster and its innards, but will I be able to construct one of my own based on this? Probably not, as I will need to figure out lots of stuff that are not visible/measurable in the final product: temperature/cooling cycles for plastic and metals, the precise construction for the injection molds that does not leave me with uneven colors in the plastic, ...

Same is valid for automotive parts or aeronautic/astronautic parts. Sure, I can buy a SpaceX engine and take it apart - but that won't help me to get the precise 3D print pattern they use for their chamber.
