Related to a comment I made on another thread about identity, FANG companies have two leverage points in this discussion. One is they can adjust their features to the countries in question, as few democratically elected governments could win an election if their population couldn't have iphones, amazon delivery, or netflix.

The second is that without the US, sanctions against these companies are unenforceable, these companies own the digital identities of those populations, so those countries can only enforce data laws at the discretion of US authorities. They are increasingly an arm of US policy.

The bargaining chips now are between the US wanting to regulate them domestically, and foreign countries wanting control and taxation. IMO, the deal proposed by US legislators will be, "deal with us, or them," where the US can offer protection and moderate taxation in exchange for more direct surveillance and policy levers.

The real danger is new foreign tax obligations will likely be leveraged to break up the founder dictatorship equity model and create a scramble for their data assets.
To me what you're saying is Mozilla is no longer about FLOSS, they're now just a company whose only purpose is to make money selling their users downstream for as much as they can get?

That may be true but it's extremely sad.
In self sovereign identity systems based on verifiable claims, attributes are attested through signed claims on digital identifiers that the user control (e.g. a public key). Blockchains here are the most effective mean to implement claim revocation: if someone who produced a claim wants to revoke it, he writes that on a blockchain.

From the article:

"Apple is leveraging their iOS monopoly into an adjacent market — the digital content market — and rent-seeking. Apple does nothing to increase the value of Netflix shows or Spotify music or Amazon books or any number of digital services from any number of app providers; they simply skim off 30% because they can."

If I download and use the Netflix app, Does Apple really take 30% of the monthly Netflix subscription payment? If so, that seems unreasonable because Netflix is doing most of the work of streaming the content.
Also an acquisition btw

This is in my opinion the main reason why current music is problematic: Without the tradition of playing for, and connecting with a small live audience with a honest and heartfelt musical performance all everyone can do is imitate, from the bedroom or practice room straight in front of cameras or put in front of a manufactured audience.

Playing a song straight up is no longer possible, so performers conjure a magical moment of connection with the audience (mixing the vocals to make them sound as if an audience was singing in unison, or Maroon 5 taking the shirt off at the Superbowl halftime show) or skipping any attempt at authenticity (at the same Superbowl, the rapper driving a car around the stage, just portraying an image).

My guitar skills are quite limited, but lately I found a potential audience: should my neighbors recruit me as a babysitter for their little child, I'm going to see how my children's songs are going to work out for her. I can't imagine anything but the wildest success :-)
So to summarize, to save battery all notifications on Android (since two versions ago) have to go through a single notification service (rather than each app having the option of continuously running in the background and maintaining a connection with its own notification service). Recently Google killed their GCM notifications service in favor of Firebase Cloud Messaging, which (unlike GCM) unfortunately doesn't have an open source library available for it at the moment.

Does that sound right so far?

Anyway, the Telegram-FOSS team claims that this doesn't _actually_ save battery:

> Despite Google's misleading warnings, there is no difference in battery usage between v4.6 in "true background" and v4.9+ with notification.

But this seems rather unlikely to me. Are they saying that an application running continuously in the background uses the same amount of battery as an application that's not running at all? Or am I just misreading that statement?
Not very surprising, they have been looking at them for a while.

We didn't take the crypto/blockchain approach at Truework. In our case, we started from a use case with verified identity needs and we are going towards a more generic identity management system.
I can't ascribe good faith to conservative concerns anymore. It's absolutely insane that federal elections aren't standardized across the states.

Never mind that "states rights" only seems to be about focusing power in the hands of local elites instead of national elites. That might sound like a good thing, until you realize that every nutjob that owns a car dealership can basically become a feudal lord.

"States rights" is about lowering the cost of corruption to something that your stupid neighbor can afford...mind you that it only exists constitutionally so that your stupid neighbor could own slaves.
The story is even more interesting in that there supposedly once was a company called Steinweg (Weg = German for way). I believe they came from the Braunschweig (Brunswik) area which had, and still has, a long tradition of making musical instruments (for example, Schimmel is still there and producing pianos, though not quite as expensive as Steinway's). So supposedly Steinweg/Steinway migrated to US, then founded a piano factory in Hamburg when they were already an US-based company. Now why they changed weg into way, but didn't change Stein into Stone is yet another question.
A while ago, Inter UI was introduced on HN. I decided to give it a shot and personally I'm more satisfied with it than many paid fonts like, say, Helvetica.

Why I Never Use 'Shutdown' on Windows
Forgot to mention: former speaker as CUFP (functional programming conference)...
yeah, i keep hearing that here on HN (and only here, for some reason) but i myself use firefox and chrome dev tools almost daily and i never once thought "yeah this is missing".

well, for one, chrome is actually missing one big thing for me: a dark theme.
I also have had issues getting Spacemacs up and running (with Windows), what has worked better for me as a Vim user is to just use vanilla emacs and install the evil vim mode plugin only.
"But DoTT fits the same place in my mind with Psychonauts: I plainly don't get why so many people are so stoked about them."

I really, really like almost anything that involves manifesting the inside of the mind, as long as it's halfway decently done. (That is, it doesn't have to be excellent, just not terrible.)

But even as one who rather liked the game, I will say Psychonauts has a particularly horrible pacing problem where it takes too long to get to the first level, and the first level is (IMHO) the worst one in the game that most fails to take advantage of the premise, and then it takes too long to get to the second level, which is the second worst one in the game in terms of taking advantage of the premise. Also both those levels are themselves too long; I'm pretty sure they're padded out to try to make all the major levels similar in length, but "learn how to use the jumping controls" simply doesn't warrant the same amount of time as "resolve a paranoid schizophrenic's conspiracy issues". Things don't really start feeling unique until the third level, but it's a lot to swallow to get that far. I've tried to replay it a couple of times and bounced off of this; if I ever try again I'm going to try to go online and steal someone's save file just before the third level.

As much as I liked it, I've had a really hard time recommending it to anyone for this reason.
Most devtools on browsers have "responsive tools" - letting you change your screen to mobile or adjusting pixels. I use it sometimes for my web apps.
It depends on whether you sign up within the app or sign up on the Netflix site and simply log into the app. Paying through Apple will give them the 30% cut.
I'd love that too - although I have to say I didn't really like the endings to MI2 or Thimbleweed Park, so I might love it even more if RG writes everything except the ending...

Nope not really. Not at all. It's easy to say so though and then not even define the comparison isn't it?

Yes, making a reference to "Ergonomics research" is just millennial bashing in the worst way. /s

Yes and no.

Yes because there is nothing preventing you from selling free (libre) software. Commercial use of free software is actually encouraged and part of its success.

No because while you can make people pay for free software, you can't prevent redistribution. In practice, it means you can't force people to actually pay.

That's why selling free software usually means selling a service. Usually some form of support or online account.

Note that proprietary software based on free software is not free software. For example Chrome not free even though Chromium is. And if Mozilla releases paid version of Firefox with even a tiny bit of proprietary code, it stops being FOSS.
> Are they saying that an application running continuously in the background uses the same amount of battery as an application that's not running at all?

A single application running in the background probably uses only a small amount of extra power compared to the notification service alone.

However, a couple dozen applications -- all running in the background in order to enable notifications -- probably consume a lot more power than a single service.
Probably fewer Americans than others. See my comment on another thread about air pollution.
In the typical sense of net neutrality[0], not very much - you're effectively bidding for a faster / lower-latency route across the internet.

You can already pay for faster routes with e.g. Google's premium networking or Cloudflare's Argo. If I understand correctly, this offering just means that instead of having to procure your network in advance and lock in a particular price for all traffic, you can dynamically route traffic based on the cost of doing so.

> In 1941, the first "Victory Vertical" was dropped by parachute, complete with tuning equipment and instructions.

Above is from the posted article, in a less fluffy piece [0] someone else posted in these comments their transport crates included: "a set of tuning tools, instructions, spare parts, and sheet music consisting of light classics, Protestant hymns, sing-along tunes, and boogie-woogie numbers"

Basically they didn't try, they provided the tools to tune and repair them and counted on the fact that there'd be a number of mechanically minded people where ever these went (for repairing more normal army equipment) that could do a passable job of keeping them working.

Heck, with a drafted army there's a decent chance on bigger bases for there to be someone who's actually who's worked on piano's in some capacity before.

I'm a huge Firefox fan, but as many others here point out: for this to work in the long run they have to respect us and stop pulling all kinds of iRobot nonsense etc.

Mozilla needs to understand it is not OK to mess with my Internet banking client.

The browser is now critical Internet infrastructure and it is not OK when someone scares me by force installing extensions.

Also while Normandie would have been OK with me of I knew about it ot annoyed me when I found out about it because of a mistake.

Mozilla could have had a 9/10 score but thanks to issues like this I rate them 7/10.

(Chrome however is far worse.)
The overall feeling is often called "frisson", and some people describe it as the feeling when you're on a swingset and it hits its peak and starts to come back down. I get literal goosebumps from some music, and some movies too, but that's probably just triggered by the soundtrack. Blade Runner 2049 and Annihilation always do it even though I've seen them almost a dozen times each.

I know a few people who work from home as freelancers in the visual effects industry around here. They are all rabid Apple fanboys/fangirls, owned pre-trashcan Mac Pros, but just couldn't stomach the trashcan version. They all switched to Hackintosh or Windows in the last few years.

Even for technically challenged artists, it is not difficult because there are several technicians around here that install Hackintosh machines for this industry and update them from time to time. Their names are passed by word-of-mouth.

The bigger production houses will probably buy the new Mac Pros, but the entire freelance sector will keep their Hackintoshes or move to Windows. The pricing is just crazy.

I don't think value will decrease, just more weight will be put on what school you were able to get into. Let in state college be free and let these state schools take the same # of students they take now (very near maximum dorm capacity anywhere), and acceptance rates will just plummet. College is hard to scale, you need to build and hire from a very limited labor pool to grow and it would probably take decades as a result.

Free college would just lower acceptance rates at good state schools and allow more people to complete degrees in community colleges. If anything it will make state school degrees even more valuable; roughly the same number of people will graduate from the same school but the cohort will be academically stronger.

IDK what you were imagining exactly with that last bit, but at my old uni you could test out of basically any class by paying $60 and taking essentially the final in the testing center; if you got >70% iirc you got credit for the course and could advance to the next but no a grade.

Tableau is:

1) An effective tool for people to explore data (with a relatively low barrier to entry - some training required).

2) An effective dashboard authoring tool (i.e. to make small specialized data reporting apps) which are simple enough to be used by anyone without training. These dashboards typically give some sort of situational-awareness for key performance indicators (KPI) such as sales, inventory, etc and are highly specialized for a specific use or role.

I will be highly ungrateful if I fail to write about a credit specialist who pulled me out of deep frustration that almost took my life. In 2011, after my graduation, I accrued a student loans worth $38,840 and in 2015 I lost my job, so the fear of paying off really caused me a health disorder that incapacitated me thereby truncating my repayment plan. I've always thought on possible ways to pay off but never knew of permanent debt/loan removal by hackers not until I came across a Trulia Q & A about debt/unpaid loan removal by ROCKBASE CREDIT REPAIR. Reluctantly, I texted them via (972) 449-1968 and made my frustration known to them. Did you know after 15days, all records of student loans on my profile got removed. What a Hack! I must confess of living a happy life again after my encounter with this life-saving credit specialist.
The EU can’t tax directly... yet. It’s inching closer, though, with each subsequent “sovereign crisis” and the looming inevitability of easier mechanisms for fiscal transfers.

I agree that it’s unlikely the g20 could or would do this tomorrow; I just think it’s what we should eventually aim for, and establishing principles against this so early-on is, imho, a mistake. But I guess I shouldn’t complain about what is, overall, positive news.

Intro to Jenkins X CI/CD for Kubernetes
I wish there was a culture for people to do some basic exercise everyday. The same as it is expected to go to work daily you should also do some exercise. I have been doing a daily routine of 30-45 minutes almost every day for the last 15 years and it’s very noticeable how my body decays when I even skip them for a week or so. My exercises are very basic but they cover most parts of the body that an office worker would never touch.

I wish that people were given a daily routine before any kind of surgery, pain killers or other treatments were given. Something in the culture makes it not ok to ask people to exercise but it’s ok to give them surgeries and other treatments.

Also don’t fall into the trap of going extreme. If you walk half an hour a day and do some basic stretches and strengthening stuff you are already way ahead. No need to do CrossFit or running a marathon.

But many Linux applications assume the overcommit behavior. Its far easier to just "go with the flow" or "When in Rome...". Overcommit is the programming culture of Linux and should be assumed when writing Linux apps.
