I would say that anyone who would even consider it remotely desirable to be able to sideload apps has very different desires and expectations about how much they will "fiddle" with their phone to get it working they way they like. In other works, "it always worked just fine" probably means very different things to someone who would want to sideload apps than the average smartphone user who has never even heard of "sideloading."

I don't have data, just an anecdote.

I was hired by Sun. Just before my start date, Oracle announced they would be buying Sun. I was worried, but it turns out acquisitions are pretty slow processes. There was months of waiting for government approvals, then months more before the culture really started feeling like "Oracle" instead of "Sun."

In short, there's a decent chance that anyone applying now could be on payroll for months or years before Visa actually meaningfully changes anything about Plaid's workflow.
I'm not using uBlock Origin and my extension still (after the author added the broken "noscript") shows just a black screen before enabling js.

His "noscript" is also broken as it still doesn't show the darned 5 paragraphs of text. It's that hard for him, as he writes what others should do.
You’re seeing it as a computer. It’s a phone.

> You Seem to Assume that the language in question and the API’s must have identical license requirements.

Maybe. I seem to be saying that with both languages and APIs, licensing-related restrictions are worse than useless. Anyone can go write a compiler that translates a pre-existing language into object code, right? If you can insist on being the only one who can compile your language, good luck getting people to write in it.

> But If I invent a different language and publish it in a book, why should I lose the rights to it simply because of what the language is or how people would use it.

Which rights? Isn't that the original question, the one of what rights are implied as 'granted' when you publish a thing, such as 'the right to read and understand it'? (No I didn't purchase your book, I found it at a library.) You don't "lose the rights" to it, that sounds a bit like false dichotomy. You merely would not have had all the rights you had hoped, from the beginning.

I can almost see it Oracle's way: they own all the results of a great deal of work that Sun('s employees) did, and later on Google managed to avoid a chunk of that work and so help their own bottom line. Google also takes advantage of the industry's pre-existing familiarity with it. I still think Oracle is on the wrong side of common sense because Google was also helping Oracle's thing stay popular by increasing the motivation for anyone to gain familiarity with it, and I would call it a fair trade. But that's me, and my business sense is rather like a phantom limb.
Reminds me of a similar situation with my technical manager. He’s very dogmatic in that we should never waste time “re-inventing the wheel” (e.g. there’s already a library/tool out there that does X, don’t waste time remaking it). This makes a lot of sense in many business cases, but not always...

I like using this analogy to demonstrate why:

Say we’re designing a race car, and our race car needs wheels.

“Wait!” says my manager, “don’t waste time designing wheels for our car when we can simply buy these wheels from a vendor and slap it on our car!”

I look at the wheels. “Uh, sure those are wheels, but they’re wheels designed for a shopping cart! I mean sure we could slap these on our racecar but it’s then going to drive like crap!”

If you want a great product, sometimes you’re better off re-inventing the wheel… (and not using a “No Code” solution…)
I've tried Kodi and whatnot and found those sort of solutions to be confusing, slow, and not particularly confidence inspiring. I taken to just using mpv with --input-ipc-server==... --vo=gpu --gpu-context=drm. It can play anything from my NAS over NFS, or any URL that youtube-dl supports (which is most anything.) It works with youtube, twitch, vimeo, basically anything except netflix or amazon prime. And it doesn't need a new "app" or "plugin" for each, since youtube-dl is a nice piece of software.

I'm not a legal guy, so I don't know.

It just seems a bit funny that the example you give to point out how obvious this standard must be is an implementation, not an interface. It would be weird to me that if I created a different String implementation with the same interfaces as your, that is prohibited.

I guess that with Java it's a little bit more straightforward, because the interface is a file that you must have created. But what if I create EvenBetterInterface and convince people to swap it out in their dependency injection and use my implementation, which otherwise has the same interfaces as yours? I feel that the interfaces they are talking about are supposed to be more that classical type of interface (a definition/promise with NO implementation details but assurance of functionality), and not the straight up Java (jesus christ, im sorry) "implementation" of an interface.
I thought these going to be about doubting those new results that say X time honored surgery or other big procedure has no evidence of efficacy.
There’s $1.5 trillion of student loan debt. ~$800 billion of that is Stafford loans. 11.4% is delinquent.

How much of that debt could have been issued without the Fed guaranteeing it? That is a huge subsidy in and of itself.

Also, whether it is [currently] dischargeable or not, a massive percentage of that debt is probably not actually serviceable.

That means the Day of Reckoning will come where the Fed takes a haircut on that loan balance. And that will amount to the largest ever recognized subsidy in tertiary education in the history of the world.

It was sold as a Federally guaranteed loan program, but when you make a massive loan to someone who can never repay it, it’s actually a grant. It’s just not politically convenient to admit it (yet).
Bold assertion in the face of side channel and timing attacks.
Sir Roger Scruton: 1944-2020
> Unfortunately, the two causes the article cites (dissolution of family structure and rise of single male households) are unaddressed.

It's unaddressed because it's the journalist class and their kind that has waged a war against family, gender roles, gender itself and males. At least since the 90s as far as I remember, the predominant message in media is fathers are bad, males are bad and family is bad. Media has discouraged men and women from getting married, having children, encouraged divorce, abortion, etc. When a nation's media pushes nonsense like "toxic masculinity", isn't it about time to declare the media the enemy of the nation? But what's interesting is that the media are just propaganda of the elites. The elites decide the media campaigns and trends which transform and socially engineer society. The question is why? After all most of these elites and many of these journalists are males themselves.

One solution is the diversification of the elites, media and society in general. Not in superficial aspects like race, gender, etc, but ideology, thought and values. Seems like there is a lot of incest within the elite/media class. They all seem to think alike and that's not a good thing.

Also, these attacks on men are also ultimately attacks on women as well. Ignoring the fact that half of a woman's genetic history comes from a man ( their father ), the attacks on men ultimately harm their future prospects of a husband, family and kids. And their future hopes of happiness.

Men's suicide is increasing and women's happiness has been plummeting.

It's an endogenous effect.
As someone who works in this space I see this from an alternative angle. Yes we use data like this in order to advertise to you, No Apple is no better than Google at how they approach this - they are just walling you further into their walled garden.

Google uses your location information to track your locations in order to provide better (more relevant) advertisements through their own ad platform.

Apple does exactly the same but because it doesn't have it's own ad platform this gets sent to their "Approved Partners" who do it on their behalf.

Stopping 3rd parties from being able to use this data simply tightens the circle, the data is anonymous (for the most part) and while there are companies that exist out there to tie this data to an actual person most companies like ours have no need to do so.

Likewise what you will start seeing off the back of this is a decrease in advert quality.

Like anyone - I despise adverts, but if I HAVE to see them I at least want them to be relevant products that I am interested in. Soon the only people who will be able to provide those insights will be Apple Partners or Google.

I agree with this in that I believe that many industries (esp. health care) are being harmed by hyper-financialization, which is reducing transparency for consumers and creating massive waste.

What worries me is the part about judging the worthiness of an intervention based on a hypothetical homo economicus' decision to pay for it. These kinds of cost-benefit analyses end up feeling really strange when applied to things with strong "intangible" value.

Even if set up in a well intentioned manner, I could see these kinds of analyses themselves becoming victims of regulatory capture and being used to restrict access to care rather than improve it, similar to how the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs[0] has used economic arguments to gut regulations on coal ash, vaping, and prison rape.

I guess this is as good a time as any to pimp my work in this area: https://pypi.org/project/lib3to6/

lib3to6 is a Python compatibility library similar to to BableJS. It translates (most) valid Python 3.7 syntax to valid Python 2.7 and Python 3 syntax (aka. universal python). If you would like to develop with a modern python version and yet still maintain backward compatibility or if you want to bring a legacy codebase forward step by step (my use case), then please have a look.
Well, VLC does have casting, but here I more meant you can run VLC on the TV itself, and you can enter a URL directly into VLC on the TV itself. While that's a bit clunky, if you use the remote app on a phone you can enter keyboard data and, most importantly, paste keyboard data from your phone into an input field on the TV itself. So no casting would be required.

Kodi would also enable the same use case.
By this point, any cross-platform file tool that isn't using Unicode as a lowest-common denominator for filenames and similar things to insure maximal compatibility is likely ready to cause havoc.

(The remarks in the post here that Mercurial on Python 3 on Windows is not yet stable and showing a lot of issues is possibly even an indicator/canary here. To my understanding, Python 2 Windows used to paper over some of these lowest common denominator encoding compatibility issues with a lot more handholding than they do with the Python 3 Unicode assumption.)
What other privacy-minded phone are people going to run to, if Apple sells out? Google? Apple could absolutely be playing the long con here. Much like Google did with Chrome, allowing uBlock as a browser extension for nearly a decade.

If Apple does struggle to grow profitability through services, or can't find it's next "iPhone", I would expect to see profits grow from some potentially unsavory options. They wouldn't be Apple's first option, for sure, but in a world where Apple's business plateaus, privacy is on the chopping block.

My current home OpenBSD gateway runs on one of the small Atom-based (Z3700-series maybe?) NUC-alikes (I forget who made it) I picked up 2 years ago. I think I spent less than US$200 on Amazon for it. Very low power and I doubt the CPU has ever hit 5% utilization. If you go this way, make sure you can load an alternative OS on it; apparently some of these things refuse to load anything but Windows 10.
The dating dynamic changed too. As a man, you will be able to date if you are in the top 20% on height and general attractiveness. It wasn't always like that. In the recent past, you could have a girlfriend if you were average good looking and if you showed your worth. Good grades, good work prospects, etc. as long as you committed to a woman. That doesn't seem to work any more.
Maybe it is a rational response?

The actively managed hedge funds farther up the ladder get individual agents lower on the ladder to give them massive amounts of money they can take huge cuts from while putting little at risk themselves.

The people not managing their money as a job are at a disadvantage and the active managers can leverage that.

I'd suspect most people should passively track the market via index funds and then make the occasional active bet if they have some reason to.

The index fund bubble seems likely to be a real thing, but it's not obvious how to correct for it, so probably still worth doing total market and hoping for the best.
This is the typical response I expected. "Your using it wrong!!"

No, I'm not blogging about it. I might write something up eventually.

A Miata would likely have been an easier conversion, and it's probably what I should have done, though a convertible is kind of a tough sell when you live in Oregon and with RX-8s you can get a pretty recent car for not much money. (RX-8s with engine problems that no one wants to spend the money to fix are quite common.)

One thing to be careful of is weight balance. I'm told that if you have too much weight in the back, it makes the car a lot less safe in corners because it's easier to recover from front-wheel slip, whereas if the rear wheels break loose first you'll probably spin out.

So far, making battery boxes seems to be the biggest/most awkward task. I've never done welding before, and so I'm learning aluminum TIG welding. It took awhile to get the hang of it, but it's going alright now.

How is that diverse? Are there children of different races or ethnics groups in the book? If so, that would make it diverse. The presence of a member of a single race doesn't make something diverse on its own. Mr. Marx has an odd way of defining diversity.

This in fact happened in Russia in the early 20th century.

The results were, among other things:

- allocation of resources happened through centralized planning committees of credentialed supposed experts, rather than organically by decentralized market forces checked and balanced automatically via competition among the actors, leading to huge economic inefficiencies. Perpetual shortages of consumer goods, and at times even basic foodstuffs. 10+ year waits to get a car. Hours-long lines for bread.

- a massive increase in corruption, bribery, and influence trading (collectively known as блат, "favors"[1]), as people turned to unofficial backchannels to further the economic interests of themselves and their organization, since there were no effective legal channels to do so anymore;

- concominant erosion of any notion of popular respect for doing things properly or legally. There simply was no legal way to advance your own economic position.

- The expansion of an institutionalized system of severe punishments to force people to work productively at their jobs anyway, absent any possible reward.[3]

- Eventually, economic and technological stagnation[2]. With no legal economic reward possible for working harder, trying new things, or improving conditions, why bother? Your salary is the same if you succeed, and you'll be punished severely for counterrevolutionary activity if you fail.

The vast majority of that increase looks to be caring for young children (under 6) and for physical needs [1]. Look at how little time is spent reading to kids or helping them with school.
