> Apple is using its position in one market (phone hardware sales) to exclude competition in another (app sales). It's a text book example of an antitrust violation.

Antitrust law considers the entire market, not just how one company treats their own customers. Apple's policies have no effect on your ability to sell apps on Android.

Here's an example of what would be potentially anti-competitive behavior by Apple: if they made 3rd party developers sign exclusivity contracts that said in order to sell in the Apple App Store, they have to agree to NOT sell a version of the same app in the Google Play store. That would be Apple using its position in the market to exclude competition.

But Apple does not do this. Developers are free to release the same app on Apple and Android, and customers are free to buy into the Apple system or the Android system. Competition exists and is robust. In fact, as measured by unit sales and installed base, Android is arguably ahead of Apple.

> You don't have to buy software to run on a Mac exclusively from Apple, for example.

This is Apple's choice in how they configure those computers; it's not legally mandated.
Who wants to hire an autoworker? He and his fellows spent their entire life sucking $$ and benefits out of the company. Where I worked we did all we could to weed out any autoworkers who applied. Why? If they got a recall notice, they would quit without notice at all, usually just not show up next AM, and you call and are told he was recalled....
The autoworkers greed (think 'pattern bargaining') it was accelerated automation and greased the ways of Japanese and Korean RoRo cariers bringing their cars over here.
He's obviously incredibly smart to have achieved what he did at such a young age, but he's actually a joy to listen to as well.
> What the hell does that matter?

If you think that homeschooling is fine, but homedoctoring is crazy, then you think that being a teacher is a job that any idiot can do, while being a medical doctor requires a specific set of skills.

I'm not saying that all homeschooling parents are crazy and are doing a horrible job, I'm just saying that people have to study a bunch of stuff before becoming teachers, and even then they work as a team and have different specializations, I highly doubt that most people can do a better job than them on their first shot.
I have a similar plan but progress is slow in medical devices and our execs tend to believe salespeople more than our engineers so it will take a while to convince people to invest in a multi-people multi-year effort.
From the author of uBlock on this:

What we see are the public statements, for public consumption, they are designed to "sell" the changes to the wider public. What we do not see is what is being said in private meetings by officers who get to decide how to optimize the business. So we have to judge not by what is said for public consumption purpose, but by what in effect is being done, or what they plan to do.

This is how personally I see the deprecation of the blocking ability of the webRequest API in manifest v3:

In order for Google Chrome to reach its current user base, it had to support content blockers -- these are the top most popular extensions for any browser. Google strategy has been to find the optimal point between the two goals of growing the user base of Google Chrome and preventing content blockers from harming its business.

The blocking ability of the webRequest API caused Google to yield control of content blocking to content blockers. Now that Google Chrome is the dominant browser, it is in a better position to shift the optimal point between the two goals which benefits Google's primary business.

The deprecation of the blocking ability of the webRequest API is to gain back this control, and to further now instrument and report how web pages are filtered since now the exact filters which are applied to web page is information which will be collectable by Google Chrome.

You'll be a hero to millions!
IMO that's what happens when you have democracy but we're not all in the same boat (or maybe this happens to any nation when people aren't in the same boat). We'll always have selfish individuals, but why do we have selfish peoples? That must mean clannism is still a great strategy.
The whole point is to NOT be equivalent. That is the principled objection to public school. For example:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=trump+history+school+book&t=canoni...

About half the population would be offended by those textbooks. You're insisting on an equivalent education, which would mean teaching with that same bias. The whole point is to do otherwise.

One can find other examples in the way books treat the Vietnam war, the North American aboriginal population, LGBT, premarital sex, the causes of the Great Depression, unions, nationalized health care, the electoral college, the second amendment, Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Ruth Ginsburg, and so many other political topics. History and sex-ed classes are deeply tied to politics.

You say that parents should be "not allowed to provide their children's with religious/libertarian dogma instead of an actual education", but many parents take the view that schools today are doing exactly that.
Chrome's DevTools handles developing large unbundled webapps better. When your loader is reaching to the fs for thousands of source files for a single page load, Chrome performs significantly better than Firefox. Same goes for Ctrl+P jumping to files and debugging performance.

It's gotten a lot better over the last two years, especially when FF DevTools got support for source maps and TypeScript debugging, but it still lags enough to keep me using Chrome for my job, Firefox at home.
So the solution is to still build a tunnel... but smaller... and move hundreds of people through it really fast in separate, quite heavy vehicles with no possible way of escaping the tunnel when something goes wrong? And something will go wrong.

I'm rooting for Elon with all my heart to cut down the costs of digging tunnels, but everything else about this is just ludicrous.

> built a huge house and family

Is this a bad thing? He lives in a small town where land is cheap. Raising kids is bad? I'd call it one of the most altruistic things a man can do, if done well. There are enough deadbeat or abusive dads; creating more people and giving them good lives is certainly giving back. "Keeping what is theirs"? I think this guy lived a pretty modest life. What institutions is he wrecking? What political systems?

I'm getting the impression you were raised in a rather cushy life. I did not grow up in a rural area such as this, but I have close friends and family members who did. It's tough, even if you've got a steady job. Many people in such communities have friends or loved ones with substance abuse problems. Why are you being so unsympathetic?

> a selfish fight of selfish people, is that what democracy devolves to?

It depends. I think we used to draw morality and altruism from churches, but that has gradually disappeared and nothing has replaced it. We either need a resurgence of religion or some kind of replacement. It's not for nothing that Jefferson wanted a republican society of the yeoman farmer.
The EA pilots followed the procedure, and when it didn't work they went off procedure (i.e. they turned the stab trim system back on) which led to the final plunge. If they had used the trim switches after turning the system back on, it would have corrected the nose down. It seems the natural thing to do. Why didn't they? I do not know, and none of the accounts I've read addressed this.

I suspect that will be a crucial point in the NTSB's report.

Your assessment about pilots not being ordered to their deaths is incorrect. My father served as a navigator on B-17s in WW2. He was ordered to fly 30 missions. At the time, the 30 mission survival rate was 20%, as bad as any beach assault.

The aircrews knew this, and it put a terrible strain on them. But they went anyway. My father told me he was convinced he was going to die, made peace with it, and simply decided to do the best job he could before he bought it.

The Luftwaffe pilots had it even worse. There was no 30 mission maximum. It was fly until you die. Not many survived.

> For the [rather large] share of transport which is done in personal vehicles, wouldn’t it be incredible to have a solution that’s better than the massive cost of surface roads and surface parking everywhere you look?

I generally care about mass transit, and it becomes pretty obvious that if you care about mass transit, you have to get people out of the massive wastes of space of single-occupancy vehicles. The problem I see with solutions like the Loop is that they're pitched as trying to replace mass transit, and there's no consideration given to the fact that storing empty personal vehicles takes lots of space that don't exist in dense cities, or, in places such as Kansas City where SOV transit is preferred, creates massive dead zones of parking that deadens the appeal of the area.
Interestingly, linux has ksplice despite being monolithic. To be fair I've never used it and I understand that it's fairly limited in what all can be patched without a reboot.

That's exactly how my organization does it as well. I had to go to an incredibly asinine training because I clicked on a fake phishing link after verifying that the domain was owned by a computer security company that sold phishing prevention services. The link just went to a static "you could have been phished" page and a few weeks later I got an email telling me that I had to got to a phishing awareness training. There was no attempt at all to actually collect any credentials from me.
I completely agree.

Here's the deal, though: this wasn't just one crash. It was two. The failure mode of the second was indeed different than the first: it was a failure of Boeing and the aviation authorities to appropriately respond to the first disaster.

To propose that pilots should have willy-nilly flipped MCAS on and off based on your reading of the news is just staggering. What if there was another bug where turning on MCAS when there was an AoA disagree led to an instant plunge, regardless of etrim inputs? I'd bet you'd be critiquing those dead pilots for not following the checklist — and keeping MCAS off — in such a case.
Hey! I’m a coauthor with this guy :^). Incredibly fascinating (and extremely smart) dude. His interest in origami is what drew me to MIT in the first place, since I was interested in it as well from a young age. A few years ago I took his class on the computability/complexity theory of folding, and we ended up solving an open problem in the field and published a paper out of it [0]. If you had told highschool me something like that would happen, I never would have believed it :)

Read the code. Only way to know for sure. Then use something maybe based on clang-query to check if the path that leads to flushing base on msync() and/or munmap() changed. Like, if any code between your syscall and the kernel-internal write-page-to-disk-now-i'm-waiting call changed. You should be able to convince clang-query to spit out a normalized AST of the code, and still be able to easily map it back to the source file location so you can check the source-file diff for the specifics once you demmed the AST diff ass non-trivial (some things should be easier to ignore in an AST diff).

In case you end up creating such a tool, please share it with us.
Not really. You could do that locally. All they need to do is stream what you request.

Once you admit that the sun is an example of a star, "sun" becomes a deictic reference.

Note that "Sol" is not the English name of our sun. We call it "the Sun", at the same time that we're happy to say that planets in other stellar systems have suns of their own. "Sol" is a name internal to academic astronomy, much like the name "bufo bufo" for what are actually called "toads".
A dinosaur-killer sized asteroid strike would still leave earth far, far more habitable than mars is (there would at least be air and water) as would essentially any other conceivable natural or cosmic disaster.
Arguable some portion of the cut that Apple gets from app sales is to pay for the inherent "marketing" that the app store provides.

The thing, though, is that Apple has chosen to fully control the market place and search engine. They are fully culpable for any disruptions because they refuse to let their system be audited externally.

There's an argument to be made that if the market is free or allows competing indexes then Apple is less on the hook, but Apple has a stranglehold on how the AppStore works, they've made their bed in this case.
I guess it depends on what part of California you're talking about but all-seasons will generally outperform equivalent grade summer tires in the rain if temperatures start falling below 50-55° or so. A summer tire's grip falls off precipitously [1] when temperatures reach 40-45° but the loss of grip in that "NorCal winter" kind of weather can reduce their performance below that of all seasons. Just because they haven't lost a dangerous amount of grip doesn't mean they haven't fallen behind the grip available to a tire with a more temperature insensitive compound.

In the context of that quote, as made explicit by attribution, she's an activist pushing a policy choice. That's not an indictment of her expertise, but it needs to be called out. She doesn't get to both advocate for a position in the text and stand in for "scientists"[1] in an appeal to authority argument in the headline.

Great job guys, pedantically arguing over a word and missing the whole point of the article =)
This can be equalized by having a perk or bonus on reporting phishing attacks to IT. Anything from casual Friday (for offices that are not relaxed wear) to a Starbucks card or whatever. IMHO the act of timely reporting the click on a phishing email should negate the email click penalty. The idea is make the wanted behavior pleasurable and the unwanted ones painful.
That's the point. I was in the infantry, am 6'2, and a guy. I don't have a problem with challenging folks who are tailgating. That is not the case for everyone. Do you expect disabled folks to challenge tailgaters? What about physically small people? Setting aside the office dynamics around discrimination issues, how many people actually have the confidence to challenge an unknown person who is tailgating, knowing that there are practically no repercussions for allowing it, versus the fallout of alienating coworkers, potentially senior folks who might react negatively?

It's one thing to say "don't let people tailgate", it's quite another to actually enforce a policy that says that unless you provide proper physical security onsite. During security awareness training I always stress that people know who to notify onsite as well as telling them that they can choose to challenge them directly if they encounter someone tailgating.
I agree with the idea that there should be a set of rules/guidelines as to what’s expected of a passenger, however I disagree with the “customer is always right” thing as it allows customers to be dicks (and trust me, a lot of people abuse it) without the service provider being able to do anything about it. At least with the rating system the playing field is levelled and both sides have the opportunity to fight.
> This leads to an entirely different discussion about whether universities exist to educate the populace or to train future workers.

Getting poor pseudo-education is perhaps more harmful than getting no education at all. People with no education are more likely to have some intellectual humility, while the "quarter-intellectuals" that took some low-effort third-rate humanities courses tend to fall victim to Dunning-Kruger more often, and offer simple solutions/explanations to overwhelmingly complex topics.
I've long thought that the cost of college should be fronted by the colleges themselves should you get accepted. Once you graduate, you owe the college a percentage of your income in perpetuity (say, 2%- nothing crazy, and you graduate debt free).

This flips everything on its head in a good way. Colleges then have no incentive to give people degrees in fields they know there's no future employment opportunities for, it's in their best interests to give you the best education they can, they expand and contract departments based on employment demand, and they would actively seek to find employment opportunities for alumni. I honestly don't know who it would hurt other than loan companies.
When my organization does these, the link just goes to a static page that says "you could have been phished". The fact that in fact no serious attempt at phishing has yet taken place and that my work machine is far too insecure if they're worried about browser 0-days seems totally lost on them.

Still, they could say that they totally respect users' privacy. And add that, although they vet all apps in their store, they can't guarantee that those apps will respect users' privacy.
The number 1 app that comes up for me with the term "weight loss tracker" is called "Monitor Your Weight" and looks significantly less polished than your app. But it uses the term "weight tracker" in the first few words of the app description and not in the subtitle. Your app doesn't use the phrase anywhere in the description that I saw. Maybe subtitles are now ignored for search ranking (due to bug or intentional)?

Nice looking app. You may have gotten a new customer in me.

I'm not saying that you're wrong here. However, the effect that you're describing leads directly to a dystopian world that few people would actually want to be living in, and the only thing that an individual could do about it is to withdraw from society entirely, including never going out in public.

There has to be some way of preventing that.

If you are doing it from the parking lot you don't need RFID/BLE/NFC you can use GPS. If you want to do indoor proximity via your app you can use a beacon with the sdks for iOS (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/deter...) and android (https://developers.google.com/beacons/). Estimote is probably one of the most popular beacon hardware makers https://estimote.com/ There are many.

If you really need to do this without a customer app, that has location services turned, on then you will need to use some service provider like kontakt.io. If you search for indoor location tracking there are lots of them.

Also note there are some privacy issues here. I wouldn't want to carry around a BLE card just so the staff at a petstore know that I am in their parking lot.

Also there is the cost of giving these to users, ultimately the customer will have to cover that cost, which I wouldn't want to do.
How's your rating?

That's how you answer that question I guess... :)
The government controls 75% of the supply (most students go to public colleges). Government employees engage in a massive sustained ad campaign targeted at impressionable teenagers to juice up demand. Then the government issues 92% of all the loans used to pay for the education. The government isn't just "involved" it's deeply embedded on the supply side, demand side, and the middle.
