> and websites don't get any of the benefits

What kind of benefits FB offers for websites?
I've found USPS service to my residence is fantastic when it's my regular letter carrier but I do give a $100 tip every year. Nothing fits in my tiny street mailbox (thanks HOA, I had a nice big box at one time) but she walks parcels to my door even if it's pouring buckets.
It now ships with Xcode. Use xcode-select and/or type python3.
I dislike Google the company as well as their products. If someone wants to break them up then you’ll find me smirking on the sidelines when it happens. But how do you talk about breaking up Google without addressing Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, etc.? They basically all compete in the same markets. What are you going to do? Break up Google and let one of the others take their place? Break them all up? Then what? Outlaw tech conglomerates so no one takes their place? This makes no sense. Or impose regulations so stringent that you’d have to be a massive conglomerate to be able to comply? How does that make anything better if it raises the bar for a newcomer to enter the market and compete?

And if the vast majority don’t give a shit about privacy and actually like what these companies have to offer then who are we to say the rules need to change? Google is as big as they are because they make things a shitload of people want. We are in the minority. As long as we can largely avoid doing business with these companies and there’s someone else who serves us then what’s the big deal? Go use something else.
Yes, for some sense of thinking it is clear animals deliberate between options, which should be at least a necessary component of "reasoning".

However, the big question in the linked article is whether this sort of thing is sufficient for the kind of abstract reasoning that humans regularly engage in. I would argue choosing between "run" or "fight" is different than choosing between "saving" and "spending". The latter requires an understanding of abstract principles and some mathematics, whereas the first decision can be based purely on weighing one's feelings.
The article describes WebAssembly at a low level and use the assembly language wast. Therefore, it is still relevant if you want to understand WebAssembly at this level. The specification has not changed in the last 2 years.

However the tooling around WebAssembly changed a lot. E. g. the compilers start to fully support the wasm target.

> getting in and out of busy Walmart's is a pain

In the 80's Walton had a hard policy of no more than three customers waiting in a line. Shopping then was a far more pleasant experience.
Well it's natural given the circumstances in which we exist (fighting for scraps under a perpetuated myth of scarcity).

You could say "Well, humans are just animals and we were always fighting for scraps so this is our natural state". But humans only thrived and evolved because we were so good at adapting to changes. So if now our social and economic reality is artificially rigged by those with wealth and power to stagnate everyone in some paleolithic struggle for survival, instead of being allowed to enjoy the true fruits of our advancement as a species, how natural is it really? And are we being deprived of the next step of our evolution because of the resistance to keep leveling the playing field for everyone instead of the few.

I'm not a scientist so I don't know the answers to any of these. I actually sort of believe in the idea of arrow of time so literally everything "is natural" and unavoidable. It is natural that the "few" have wrestled control of resources from the "many". And maybe it is natural that this goes on forever.. but it's just as likely or even more likely that it doesn't go on.

I'm not so interested in what is cruel and what is not (although I certainly want everyone to prosper and lead a life of fulfillment and meaning). But life of any kind is such a rare thing in the universe and keeping it going seems to be a dance on the sword's edge. So I'm more interested in what is better for ensuring that life just keeps going, rather than keeps going under a set of pleasant circumstances.

Why Google Would Drop $2.6B on an Analytics Company
You've done a great job of explaining the type of DB interactions that most frequently cause performance issues at my workplace. I don't understand why developers are so unwilling to just learn SQL.
High dynamic range (i.e. low noise figure, high linearity, and especially shielding) and low phase noise will always be expensive. They are independent of software and Moore’s law.

The design software is not cheap either, as typical software skills are only 1/3 the knowledge required to develop that stuff. Also need circuit theory, EM, scientific computing, etc. There will probably never be an open source equivalent.

I have an RF/Microwave lab at home with HP VNA, spectrum analyzer, power meters, signal generators, and Tek scopes and curve tracer. Also Microwave Office and Altium.

Yes, that stuff is expensive, but has also never been cheaper to buy. An 8566B spectrum analyzer can be had for $2k, and is far better than shit from Rigol. That 8566B cost $85k in 80s/90s dollars.
Don't know about Monito but I've used TransferWise many times. First it's not straight forward, it takes time (several days), and it's freaking expensive. These numbers you quote are pretty far from what I spend when transferring money between France, the UK and the US.

GOP's concept of regulation-free-capitalism.
The commenter is saying that Apple controls the email address and forwarding too, so you cant actually communicate with your customer if they don't want you to.
By not providing 3rd parties access to email, Apple makes themselves not only the controllers of the physical devices and also over the full identity of their users

Third party apps don't have to use e-mail for logins. They can use user names.

Backers of e-mail based sign-in often call it a "frictionless" method for the users to sign up. What it really is, is a frictionless method for them to collect information about their users.
30 and 60 degrees don't need trig functions. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_constants_expres...
It's about pronunciation, not whether it's some tangible apparatus. That's you backsplaining the phenomenon.

You don't pronounce it "En Ay Es Ay". You say "Nasa". Someone in another comment thread links to a wiki article for more info.
I wouldn't be surprised if this came of amazon lowballing because they want to get (more) into Fedex's game.

The cost of shipping for Amazon isn't just the shipping cost - it's the opportunity cost of not scaling their own shipping business. I bet that's priced into their bid.

Similar goes for FedEx. If you're FexEx, you don't want more Amazon competition. You also like the scale/efficiencies from the Amazon business. So that puts their value of the deal at $$$_from_amazon + scale_efficiencies + amazon_not_in_your_game.

(I don't know what the marginal benefits of scale look like at that level - anyone know more on this?)

I could see FedEx better off taking a loss to keep the deal going. I bet either Amazon just tried to make that happen, or it's been happening for a while and there was just a change-over at Fedex.
I'm guessing olliej meant OAuth provider. FB and Google are the leading ones, so people implement those. Sign in with Apple is one as well.

The comment is saying you're free to implement your own auth mechanism using plain ol email or a phone number, but you also have to support Sign in with Apple
Funny how 90% of the commenters seem to totally miss parent's point. We get why a pegged digital currency is useful, just not why it has to be a "blockchain".

A pegged "cryptocurrency" can just be designed as a centralized service (e.g. a REST API backed by a traditional database) without losing any of its properties. The "crypto" and "blockchain" bits are marketing.

A good rule of thumb is this: could someone have come up with this pre-Bitcoin? If the answer is yes, it's not a (decentralized) cryptocurrency.
There are a lot of comments talking about how you should not rely on the built in version of python or whatever instead installing it yourself, but it is really nice being able to pass people scripts that you know will work with the stock operating system with no additional installs.
I remember in college being thrown into Visual Studio. I got things to work basically from a checklist. For the longest time includes and building/linking were mysteries done in the background. I feel like a lot of people were "programming by coincidence."

I think I still hold a grudge and prefer the command line to compile (which is its own mess).
> it's just that if you sell their data (or get hacked) the email you get is useless.

The parent commenter is correctly pointing out that Apple would be able to disable the email for other reasons as well.
"the West" being Europe. Transfers are still a huge pain in the US.
>> That isn't free. Again, signing up for abuse of my privacy is not free.

Surely the logical extension of this is that no app with ads should be marked as "free". Your attention is not free. Right?
Show HN: Kweb, a Kotlin web framework based on the observer pattern
As a user, I'd much rather use my email than have to make up a new username for every site. Emails are already public, it's not always some cynical conspiracy.
> The whole point of coding declaratively is that the "why" is front and center and the "what"/"how" follows from that.

Declarative means that we specify the "what", and the machine deduces the "how".

There is no room for "why", because our present-day machines do not require motivating argumentation in order to do our bidding. They either need the "what" or the "how", or whatever blend of the two that we find convenient.

We need the "why" in the documentation. Such as: why is this program written in the first place? The "why" is not in the code. When code is clear, it's just easy to understand its "what" or "how", never the "why". Unclear code obscures the "how" or "what", but clear code doesn't reveal "why".

Every "how" breaks down into smaller steps. Of course, those smaller steps have a "why" related to their role in relation to the other steps; that's not the "why" that I'm talking about here. Of course we know why we increment a loop counter when walking though an array: to get to the next element. If you start commenting that kind of why, you will soon be flogged by your team mates.
Ask HN: What are some methods you've used to increase your learning capacity?
I'm excited by knowledge. Knowing how things work, or don't work has always excited. More than anything else. Lately I'm coming face-to-face with the fact that there's too much knowledge in the world and I can only know so much. Nevertheless I want to learn as much as I can.

But here's the thing: I feel that I've reached peak learning capacity (with my current methods) and I'm looking for new ways to enhance it. What methods have you used to increase your learning capacity? Have you taken on a traditionally youthful program (math is considered one of those) and succeeded? How did you do that?
Is that true? If the only email address that a company has for a user is a forwarding address created through Sign In, wouldn't Apple banning the company from the App Store presumably also cause them to get rid of the email forward, meaning that nothing the company sends will actually reach the customer?
Recency bias came up a few days ago in a previous HN submission by the OP, and the OP also commented in: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20099023

In that subthread, I posted a heat map data visualization I made of IMDB rating vs. release year, which is suspiciously similar to the one OP made: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20099344

It's not plagiarism, but if the OP got the idea for checking for recency bias from the HN thread, they should explicitly credit that.

You're saying that yet Monzo and Revolut (the cool iOS apps you're mentioning) are killing the banking system already in Europe/UK.
Apple not only gets more power over the app developers, they also get more power over the users. If you want to leave apple devices behind, you'll now need to change your e-mail addresses for every service.

My interpretation is that the rule applies to using a third party service to create the identity you use for your own service, vs. actually logging into the service.

e.g.

* You have a forum that needs a per user identity, but you recognize that managing account login information securely is challenging, and the most cost effective solution is to offload on a separate authentication service (Google, Facebook, etc)

vs

* You're a 3rd party mail client for gmail, and you app is actually signing into the third party service itself.

Of course I'm sure all of this will be clearly and unambiguously explained by release :-/
There is the debt that is localized to a singular place, and there is the debt that is all over the place and that is a death by a thousand cuts. The former is easier to fix (and will probably be fixed by some enterprising person, but then second one is the more nefarious one that a lot fewer people actually take the time to do anything about.

> If google had done this,

Google provides a similar thing as an OAuth/OpenID provider. (except they track all that stuff and share the email with the site/app).
What's the deal with this time tracking kiosk?
A real email address they can spam? :D
The "who wrote this?" mentality is a trap that's good to avoid. Get comfortable with different ways of writing something that, while they might have different tradeoffs, accomplish the same thing, and try to see past that. Understand that most code wasn't written by anybody--lines 1 and 3 were written by Alice a year ago, line 2 was written by Bob 2 years ago, and line 4 was written by Alice yesterday. `git blame` is very useful for seeing the change in context, which can give a lot of insight into why it's written that way, but usually the author isn't very useful to know, unless you're planning to ask them about it. Sometimes it's useful if you happen to know that the author isn't very familiar with something when you're wondering why they didn't use it, but try to keep in mind what the actual benefits of your way are, whether they're especially pressing, and that the other person might have written it differently because they were thinking about other concerns that you forgot.
Yes, and that's simply not true (if you want to be communicated with). You can communicate with the address just fine if you configure your email properly. The only "issue" is that there's a shortlist of valid from emails that you as a company need to configure before sending me an email. Dunno about you but insofar as I'm concerned: please f'ing sign me up for the same everywhere else! And just for clarity in case anyone reading thinks I'm some privacy concerned lunatic: I'm a marketer.
Not really. It just ensures no really atrocious code makes it into master.

Of course you can stall any junior merge request until it looks like senior code, but at that point you might as well write it yourself.
How the “R” sound plays into social stratification [title from a tweet]
You are correct that this is only cap value. However, it reflects management decisions that have put GE in a poor position to compete commercially in the new world of renewable energy. The key question is if GE will be able to get back on course fast enough.

The larger issue is that renewable energy is not just some impractical idea the tree-huggers came up with that is of no importance to serious investors and businesses. Now it is for real. For some evidence, do a google search on fossil fuels stranded assets.
You can use pihole to block lots of websites on a DNS level, that's always a good first step.

Browser settings that should be done are:
- disabling loading of external fonts
- adding the ublock origin extension, priceless to "lighten" websites by removing as much crap as possible
- aggressive resource caching, especially for CDN-based libraries
Ok, so add a "Sign In with Apple" icon to the App Store page.
As soon as you accept, not just “realise”, but actually and honestly accept the fact that there’s always going to be somebody more qualified to do whatever it is that you’re doing.. the imposter feelings will vanish ;) so yeah.. you’re not the most qualified. Absolutely all odds are all against you, in any case. So what? Just make the most of any opportunities you’re presented with and make your time worth while ;) That’s how I’ve dealt with it. Has worked well for me, would recommend!
Agreed it’s overall a good article & the topic is nuanced for sure, it’s a great intro article and worthy of debate. But it’s also editorialized so do breathe.
The newest Mac Mini shares the same processors as the current iMac (21 in) and some of the same processors as the 27in version...and has user upgradeable RAM. It's not in the same league as the iMac Pro, but it's def comes close if not surpasses an iMac these days, and a non-upgraded iMac still ships with a spinning disc, where as the non-upgraded Mini's ship with SSDs...

This is not about configuration. Apple provides a proxied email and controls the forwarding. They can disable that and prevent the company from sending anything to a customer. What part of that is not true?

'There is significant demand and opportunity for growth in e-commerce which is expected to grow from 50 million to 100 million packages a day in the U.S. by 2026.'

This expectation, if true, is mind boggling.
”it's just that if you sell their data (or get hacked) the email you get is useless.”

It’s just that whenever Apple decides so, the email you got becomes useless.

Apple is judge, jury and executioner, and it makes the laws. That is problematic.
ATMs have security measures like daily download limits, unusual locations triggering denials or ID checks, etc. which cryptocurrencies lack.

There's a really big difference between your potential losses being capped zero to a few hundred dollars vs. “everything you own and half of the community will say it was your fault”.
Good for them! I looked it up, too, to see if there was a common usage I'm unfamiliar with. I am a non-native French speaker, and the pluralization didn't make sense to me, but I thought maybe this was a case where I was unaware of a word being re-appropriated and used differently in English. It does seem to show up as plural, but without the accent. I still don't really know, though.
There is a difference between a news platform publishing a news article or op ed story that denounces things the host company itself might be doing and a corporate PR office issuing a statement.

Is google hypocritical for having flat earth stuff on youtube and running huge satellite imaging operation?

(Edit: I should probably have replied to the "hypocritical" comment below :))
Does anyone else dislike when websites offer a lot of 3rd party sign-in options? Maybe it's just me, but when there's more than one option, I often forget which one I used and it ends up being a process of checking all of them. The service I run only offers email and Facebook, and now I'll have to either remove Facebook, or add both Google and Apple (I can't just add Apple because it'll look annoying for our Android users if there's Apple and no Google).

Also, when OAUTH uses the real email address, it makes it simple to switch between the different login options without much friction, which won't work anymore for people using Apple ID. Maybe I'll just have to make it a habit to use only Apple when available, and plain email otherwise.
If a company is abusing Apple's users I'm sure that they could?

But you're right, it does give Apple power, just the same power that has already ceded to Facebook and Google through their logins.

The reality is that companies need to understand that user's are sick and tired of being spammed, and are rightly annoyed by needing to provide every company with their email address for no good [to the user] reason.
probably the glass was replaced but not the lcd, making the part "refurbished" and no longer "apple" (as part of it is now aftermarket)

Fire investigators can trace back the origin of fires. I know in some cases they can trace it back to a specific outlet in a home.

Would the investigators not be able to see the point of origin has a 24 inch concrete stake driven in to the ground? Would they not be able to see there was an overturned 4-wheeler? This story sounds so unbelievable that I’d expect trained investigators to be able to find the obvious holes (I swear, no pun was intended).
You didn't answer my question about what we should be doing instead. I am assuming that this is because you don't have a good answer.

States rights was decided during this little thing called the civil war.

Why do we think Apple is not going to start reading this forwarded email and then using it to target ads? Sign-in with Apple makes them gmail... but without having to provide a web interface for reading email.

I do like the layer of indirection, but I have to imagine that someday the shareholders are going to ask "why not target ads like Google is doing" and they're not going to have a good answer.

Just because an account is real doesn't mean it isn't spam. Most of the forum registration spam is done by real people.

Also, I think most users anyway use a secondary or "throwaway" mail account to sign up to various websites that are not critical to them. This problem is largely already solved.
