It's interesting that you cited retail. In retail, there's an actual cost to stocking items, especially in areas visible to the customer. No such cost exists on the app store, in fact Apple makes you pay extra to advertise for what retailers offer for their 30%.

App stores and retailers are different. There's almost no cost to list an app (for Apple, Google) and yet they charge a 30% fee. Apple, especially, is a text book anti competitive, monopoly in their terms and it's enforcement.

Also, the app store would be just as successful if not for their draconian rules, Mac is proof that ecosystems can thrive without Apple's stranglehold. The app store choke hold is all about the money
But autoplay do you mean sounds and videos that autoplay when you go on a website, or sounds and videos which are automatically queued up after something you are already watching? Because I agree that the first is very irritating (there is nothing that I hate more than Netflix autoplaying previews with sound), but I find queuing up the next video very useful.

She posted a lot of her technique on Twitter. If there were other breaches, they might have been copy cat attacks.
To be fair the only real giveaway was "bigly", which was subtle. Otherwise I've heard people try to make this exact argument. "Well the air isn't all smoggy so I don't know what you all are so worried about."
And these people are each maintaining a single modest home or none at all.

By my count, the story has four renters, three homeowners, and one unknown. One of the renters even sold his home to make this arrangement more viable. This is an age bracket with an 80% homeownership rate. (That's not the same as % owning homes, but most people mentioned were divorced or widowed, which shrinks the difference.) All of them appear to be either working or retired; no one here is a stay-at-home spouse whose partner bought them a second house for comfort. No couple here even has three houses, so I don't see where that enters in.

If these people were single, or just starting a relationship, would we look at pairs of them as "owning two homes"? This is just a story about people who are staying 'dating' instead of remarrying and moving in together, which is viable for any demographic that isn't living with strangers to save money while single - and that includes most of the middle class.

Most console makers make NO money from selling the console itself, zero, nada, because they count on people buying enough games to make up for it, that's almost the opposite of how Apple works, where the extremely high margin they get for each iPhone is their main source of revenue and on top of that they do this thing of charging 30% for each transaction.
Giving a company 90 days to fix a problem that may be currently exploited, harming end users, seems nasty to you?

We should all be so lucky as to have Project Zero handing us free bug reports like that. Responsible companies PAY for bug reports on their products. Google is handing them over for free.
This is a good analogy but the description is really one of a REST API. An API in general can take a form other than one or more endpoints. An API is a means of consuming a program that is not a GUI or CLI but that needs to be accessed through code. Basic front-end development is wrapping code that consumes an API in a GUI. There are dozens of Javascript APIs built into browsers for code that runs locally.

Honestly the easiest content creation tool I have used. From building small data models to creating full HTML content modules, Builder.io is super powerful.

Incredibly easy to integrate with whatever framework you use, react, angular, vue. You could even build your entire website using builder.
It is free though. You don't have to pay to use the service, and the only thing to gain by paying is removal of ads and offline access. All of the content is available for free.

"Poor" and "stupid" aren't helpful terms. The reality is we're heavily disorganized and stagnant, stuck in a scarcity mindset - leading the majority into lower level survival mode behaviour. Leaving it up to capitalism to advance innovation has been interesting, successful, however that doesn't specifically create leaders or organization necessary to solve holistic issues; it certainly has lead to creating pools of wealth especially as automation has occurred, and not being distributed well or fairly. This mess is quickly fixable with the right policies, leadership - educating the population to vote for that, while making sure elections are secure, are foundational supports of that happening; I hope for the world Andrew Yang wins US election, and that the FBI's warnings, along with Mitch McConnell's efforts to block measures securing elections, aren't realized into "Trump" being placed.

I am not accusing Apple of literally breaking the first amendment. I do, however, think their actions have consequences for our society and democracy.

Imagine if side-loading books onto a Kindle was impossible, and Amazon implemented an App Store-style review process for everything sold on the Kindle store. Would you consider that a threat to free speech?

Well, consider what happened when someone made an iOS game about Apple factory workers in Foxconn: Apple killed it [1].

Now, it is absolutely Apple's prerogative to determine what is allowed on their storefront, just as any retailer can decide what to stock on its shelves. However, by completely blocking any form of side-loading, Apple is making decisions about what type of content their users are allowed to see on their devices. That's a problem if the iPhone is someone's primary computer, and perhaps their only computer.

Wells Fargo did much worse with actually defrauding their customers, ruining some lives, and only got a slap on the wrist.
...or Amazon. I have problems with PayPal, but I still trust Amazon to transfer money to vendors. In any event, even if you do trust a company, they may not trust you.

Bed Bath and Beyond had done everything right to capture my purchase: They hosted the wedding registry, took care of the couple's address, and by not allowing me to select "I'm buying this somewhere else" kept me from leaving to where I could possibly get the item cheaper.

But BB&B requires Verified By Visa, and I require my credit card provider to not be stupid about security, so my card was declined. I turned right around and bought the item on Amazon.
The barriers to entry aren't high enough.
It's not Apple it's everyone. Sell an eBook on Amazon - 35 to 70% royalty. I'm sure there are some outliers but most are right in that range. I think physical products seem to be less than digital ones: Ebay ~10%, Etsy ~5%.
At this point, I'm convinced that Javascript is basically a jobs creation program.

We go on adding fancy new syntax for little or no gain. The whole arrow function notation, for example, buys nothing new compared to the old notation of writing "function(....){}" other than appearing to keep up with functional fashion of the times.

Similarly, python which was resistant to the idea of 20 ways to do the same thing, also seems to be going in the direction of crazy things like the "walrus" operator which seems to be increasing the cognitive load by being a little more terse while not solving any fundamental issues.

Nothing wrong with functional paradigm, but extra syntax should only be added when it brings something substantial valuable to the table.

Also, features should be removed just as aggressively as they are added, otherwise you end up with C++ where you need less of a programmer to be able to tell what a given expression will do and more of a compiler grammar lawyer who can unmangle the legalese.
Even when you do a physical release - you still have to get the blessing of the console maker and pay a fee.
That’s one of the things I’m curious about regarding the Curiousity rover’s RTG. How efficient is convection cooling in order to maintain the thermal gradient to generate electricity?

It has radiator fins, so I assume that’s the main form of cooling over radiation; but with such a thin atmosphere I wouldn’t have that it could take away that much heat.

Whenever I see people throw around “regulatory capture” when talking about immensely complex and finely tuned systems for delivering critical services, I think of newbie programmers who approach a big legacy codebase with the idea “oh this is all crap, we should just rewrite it.”

The electric grid is the product of a century of technical and regulatory co-design. If you were starting from scratch with an eye to accommodating renewables, you wouldn’t design either the grid or the regulations the way they are. But you’re not. You’re slowly evolving the system from point A to point B. You’re dealing with expensive physical infrastructure built on 30 year planning horizons, in many cases with express guarantees about revenues (because at the time, you needed that capacity and sought to induce someone to build it).
Apple has a profit margin of 37%.

2017 the App store revenue was ~50 billion, which means Apple made 15 billions from fees.

Their net income was ~50 billion, too, which means 0 App store fees would reduce their profits by 30%.

Not sure if all numbers are correct, but I guess this should give us a ballpark feeling of what we are talking about.
> I’m unhappy because Apple has prevented me from using my phone how I want to.

We’re you unaware of that before you bought your device? If you buy a vacuum cleaner and discovered it doesn’t toast bread, are you blaming the vacuum maker?

You know what you get when you buy Apple, there are hardly surprises.
is this from analyzing dna outside of europe? if this information only came from analyzing european dna then during the bronze age all males in europe were effectively eliminated. this would imply that the eurasian steppe men who replaced them were the source for the neanderthal dna. this implies that the prior to this event europe was populated with people with no neanderthal dna.
This seems silly of course, but you can't have companies such as Google and Facebook claim they are a carrier while they promote and curate content, even if they are only curating via AI (which turns out at to be really smart at connecting people to extreme content). It's like the phone company putting up an ad to suggest your child call a pedophile and then saying we're not responsible for the call, we're just the phone company.
If a human male and a neanderthal female mated and produced female offspring, who then also reproduced, etc., how could you later tell that it was a human female and a neanderthal male? As far as I can understand, all we can speculate about is the sex of the offspring who reproduced, not the original pairings, correct?

It's important to remember that the water used by trees is not necessarily zero sum. Trees shade the ground reducing evaporation; they contribute to soil structure increasing the soils ability to hold water; they break hard-pan layers allowing more water to seep into the ground during rain-fail events etc.
Why would Apple be angry?
Having these features in the standard gives browsers and transpilers a common, well-specified target to work towards.

If you only need to support a subset of browsers you can turn off compilation/polyfills for specific features, which sometimes leads to better performance and smaller bundles.

I think of it like TypeScript and Babel running ahead experimenting with new ideas, ES following along turning the good ideas into a spec, and browsers taking up the rear implementing the spec. It’s a pretty decent system.
The company that I work for doesn't have a native app for our web-based product. Part of this is definitely because we have only two developers, and not enough time to invest in additional platforms.

However, when our sales guys talk to customers (SMBs), they are universally pleased that we don't have a native app for phones. None of their employees want to install an app just to use the software on their phones. The fact that our product has a responsive design and is sufficiently performant on android and iOS based phones is more than enough for them.

Gotta know your market.

You're assuming they're exposing the bugs for everyone's benefit when that might just be a side effect.

Does Google harming the reputation of a competitor for it's own advantage not cause some societal harm? Or are we still pretending that some businesses are working in our best interests?
Nitpicking? No, you made the following statement. I’m saying it is entirely false.

> This isn't an exaggeration: Tigers are interwoven in to the Indian (and Bangladeshi?) psyche [0] owing mostly to the overwhelming guilt of almost singlehandedly causing extinction of these beasts.

If there is any such thing as a general Indian psyche, it is unburdened with concerns of tigers dying off. The Indian people are more concerned with mass unemployment, droughts, floods and poverty. Also, kindly do not suggest that I’m trolling you in any way. I sincerely believe that you are making an incorrect representation about how concerned Indians are with tigers.

Your references to a Kipling story and a Blake poem are completely irrelevant. Newspapers give coverage but where is the mass outrage or outpouring of sorrow or regret? If there was any you haven’t linked to it.

How did they achieve dominance? Perhaps it’s because of the very features that you consider bugs?
Mostly too poor and perhaps lacking better engines - we really need nuclear propulsion at the very least (with concomitant big amounts of radioactive material) to not spend a year in space just getting there, which could cause damage, physical and psychological. Or maybe some form of suspended animation.
We cannot really build city sized ships, not yet. That'd require huge space stations.

Self sustaining architecture is one thing, getting it scaled up is another - and relatively hard.

Plus design so as to not cause problems related to living in confinement or in dreary space.

This necessitates at least village scale if not a bigger city.
The portrayal there was biased towards the portrayal we see in Aristophanes, so it probably caricatures somewhat... but it's not made up out of thin air.
Is this downvoted because it’s generally false?
Underground is the only way to live on Mars. So if you can find people on Earth who want to spend all their time underground (with no external food/water/air supply network to fall back on), you have a start.

The next step is finding people who want to live in a permanent totalitarian technodictatorship, given that one small act, say a minor hvac compromise, is all that it would take to kill everyone in the Mars colony within hours. Seriously, on Mars, the consequence of the smallest criminal action is colony genocide. Think of the social and legal consequences of that. Presumption of innocence is too expensive when the consequence of crime is everybody dies.
How to Ensure Your Software Project Doesn't Become a Zombie Project
So there is no cost to maintaining a digital store, payments, employing reviewers (who actually work for Apple and are not outside contractors), developing an SDK, etc.?

The Mac software ecosystem isn’t exactly “thriving”. That’s most of the reason that Apple is trying to bring iOS developers to the Mac.
I find autoplay on Netflix highly inconvenient. Disable it and you can continue to watch the next episode with just one button press. There is no need for navigating around. Also super useful when you happen to fall asleep in front of the TV so that it doesn't keep pumping all the way through the night. Autoplay on Netflix is IMHO a dark pattern to feed on attention and FOMO.
Making the cost of parking obvious sounds like a good thing.

If it's a good thing for parking, why not public transit and other services the government provides? These should all be unbundled, and the full cost borne by the users.
Blender 2.80 Released
It interferes in multiple ways.

First, it's more spacious so people will almost always choose it before any of the non accessible stalls, and people will use it when they need to go number 2 because it's more comfortable. When I want to use the only accessible stall on my floor, at work, I need to either wait between 15 to 30 minutes for people to finish doing their business or come back later (later it'll still be taken by someone else, it's practically always taken.)

Second, because so many people use it, it ends up being much more degraded than non-accessible stalls. It's always dirty, and often plugged. The seat is broken and detached from the toilet itself (extremely important criterion for someone who can only sit and can't hover).

It's not isolated to my workplace either, it's so common that peeing is pretty much my main worry when going anywhere (aside from not being able to enter at all).

I'm reminded of the movie Hidden Figures every time I discuss this topic, it's set in the 60s and there's a scene where a black woman has to walk an outrageous distance to go pee because there's no colored bathrooms at her work. She starts crying after being scolded for disappearing so long multiple times a day, and after she explains the situation her white manager breaks down the "whites-only" sign on their work bathroom with a baseball bat in a climactic feel-good moment.
Around 2014, 54 years later, all the handicapped stalls at my work were condemned because of the degradation. I had to roll 500 meters every time I wanted to pee for four months, nobody gave a shit. I've never had a nice manager with a baseball bat stand up for me in such a way, but I've met plenty of people throughout my life who're content to argue that "it's fair that disabled people should wait like everybody else if all the other stalls are taken because it's really not a big deal."

As an end-user, I don't trust that 'fairly substantial review process'. There have been so many stories about apps collecting data that is not in the interest of the user, that I trust apps from F-Droid much easier than apps from the large App-Stores.

Sounds a bit irrational, but I don't think it is (at least at the moment).
