Choosing a tablet over a laptop or any other kind of computer is all about the tradeoffs you are willing to make.

There are some circumstances where the combination of portability and screen real estate makes it a better choice than a laptop or a phone. There are some applications that are more well suited to tablets, and some that are more well suited to a laptop, desktop, server or phone instead.

They’re all computers, there’s not many reasons you couldn’t run a web server off a tablet or phone, it’s more a case of choosing the right tool for the right job at the right time. From that perspective, iPads and tablets in general are just a different tool, you can beat a nail in with an iPad in a pinch, maybe, but why not just grab an actual hammer?

But that’s boring. It doesn’t play into the narrative that tablets, with iPads at the vanguard, were or are predestined to replace laptops entirely in exactly the same way that GUIs replaced what we used to call command-line interfaces and surely not a single soul on Earth uses those anymore.

Obviously the only thing holding this back is Apple’s own policies, and if they would just let the next Adobe rise up and take their rightful place as a software giant making tools for iPads, surely its destiny as a laptop-murderer would be fulfilled. That would be so much better than merely being absolutely top tier for digital painting, digital clipboards, digital books, bedtime movies, and at least being serviceable as a third-rate cash register.

tl;dr: laptop-murder is more exciting than another tool to choose to have in your tool belt or not.
> Would you be OK with a company scraping your blog and selling it?

Selling it how? If they put my blog posts in a book and try to sell that book, that’s copyright infringement. If they put my blog posts in an ML model corpus to train a translation service, and they then charge pay-per-use access to the resulting service... I don’t think I’d care, nor do I think there’s anything morally or legally wrong with that. If they scrape my name and phone number and generate a Yellow-Pages-like index from them? That’s explicitly allowed by law; and heck, that’s why I embedded the information onto my site in vCard microformat in the first place!

To put my philosophy succinctly: if web.archive.org can scrape your data without you having an explicit relationship with them granting them that right, then bad.evil.com can too. You can allow both (= publicizing your information), or neither (= protecting your information), but you can’t allow one but not the other. “Third parties you don’t have a relationship with, who access your data through the public sphere without entering into a specific licensing arrangement with you” are legally one big amorphous blob. You can’t make a law that splits that blob up, because it’s an opaque blob; in the ACL system that is contract law, all entities you don’t have contracts with are just one entity—“the public.” If you want some specific entities to have access to your information, that’s what protecting your data (= setting an ACL “the public = disallow”) and then explicitly licensing it out by entering into contracts (= setting an ACL “entity X = allow”) is for.
I would love to know the causes and effects as well. Given evidence is still lacking, and this article is regarding a study that has only been done once, I would like to see follow up studies to see a pattern arise in OA effects on this species.
I've been using the Neutron media player app for years now. It allows you to play most file formats (including opus), supports navigation by files, and allows you to upload files via FTP to bypass iTunes. It's also one of those rare applications these days where nearly everything is configurable.

Inoreader v13 Is Here
He's completely right about Apple Music and it's been bad since long before iOS 13. The navigation is incredibly difficult to understand. I get very frustrated about why I have to both tell Apple I love something and put it in my library before their algorithms are smart enough to figure out that maybe I like that band / song and they should find related music. The Spotify discovery algorithms are better in every way.

So why even bother with Apple Music - it's really simple and it's why I see Apple services being huge... you get an Apple card and its cash back will pay your Apple Music and Apple TV+ and Apple News+ bill every month. Why pay for another music service when Apple Music is "good enough" and is "free" at that point?
He has sources for the data. You can look those up.
Humans cannot directly access websites - a machine is always involved. I know perfectly well what you mean but the distinction on a deeper level is fundamentally imaginary.

The best is some sort of heuristic like captchas and even they can be outsourced so that the human doing them isn't actually viewing the content.

The thing about a bot which bothers people is the behavior anyway. A bottish acting human would get people just as upset.
I don't use the Music App because I don't maintain all my mp3s in iTunes and without iTunes you can't (keep my honest here) get your mp3s into the Music App.
It may be painting with a broad brush to assume the inconsistency in views is among a group of people vs a single individual.

Most individuals who hold a view based on logical principles tend to be consistent on that application while people who react more emotionally will tend to flutter in the wind more.

I’d be curious to hear your reasoning.

I have an Apple Music subscription and use Apple Music (the app) daily.

In this article, I hear a lot of "I". IMO, the big challenge with Apple Music is all the legacy that a) personal libraries, b) iTunes Match, and c) iTunes purchases all bring to the new streaming paradigm. Those are problems Apple has to solve, and can't just discard. Apple's customers have plowed tons of $$$ to "own" their libraries, and Apple is doing the right thing to bring them along.

That complexity explains the difference between "hearting" a song/playlist/station and "plus'ing" one, or "clouding" one, amongst others.

I actually appreciate Apple's queue approach, which has a long history in iTunes. I love being able to insert or reorder songs without having to "recover" the previous state. That may not be everyone's cup of tea, or mental model, but it isn't bad design.

I do agree with the author that configurability of the tabs and the main buttons of the Now Playing screen would be handy. I know of several changes I'd make if able.

I do think that there are several good criticisms here, but when the first paragraph includes a lot of "I don't care about"s, that is a good sign to me that the author is not thinking about the design challenges holistically.

You assumed a lot about the parent poster that simply wasn’t there. I’m sorry you were drugged against your will. However, that doesn’t justify criminalizing those who use various drugs themselves, without desire to harm others. You say “people who are using drugs for their benefit” and then proceed to equate that only to several predatory behaviors. What about the personal benefits that many cannabis smokers enjoy, at no risk to others? Should they be shamed out of those benefits?
Surprised this is the first I'm reading about this and on the bottom of the new page as this seems pretty darn major, though not had a play with any LoRaWAN stuff, but this feels akin to when WEP was broken in some ways on an impact level.

Apple Music, and particularly iTunes Match, are the opposite of "just works". I wanted to switch back from Spotify, but I found that Match had made a complete mess of my library. Half of my album art gone. Albums were striped with some tracks that were replaced with the iTunes store versions, and some left as my uploaded MP3 V0 versions (most obvious because, even with Sound Check on, the volume levels between each track differ greatly post-iTunes Match).

I've been able to look past a lot of the decline in Apple's software quality, but the data corruption problems springing up (Catalina Mail, iOS 13 Photos incidents also come to mind) are a bridge too far. The primary reason I avoid turning on a new Apple cloud service is that it's likely it'll do something highly undesirable to my data.
I guess after clicking on "Your Library" he isn't switching to the "Artists" or "Albums" tabs. Then again, I don't know what it looks like when you're not a subscriber. The Spotify app doesn't "see" your music in your iTunes library, perhaps that is the complaint?

Polynesia also has helpful ocean currents all over the place, which probably made propulsion easier & trip time faster, with the bonus of allowing smaller simpler craft.

My layman's understanding of European sailing history is full of oars, tacking, doldrums, rations, and complex multi-sail designs. All things you'd never have to contend with if there was always a powerful current headed to your destination.
Except the market has succeeded fantastically. In my lifetime alone, AIDS and HepC went from death sentences to chronic conditions. Many forms of leukemia went from fatal to highly treatable.

Meanwhile, what has the government done? The trip from DC to New York on Amtrak is slower today than it was in 1960. In 1980, DC’s Metro had self driving trains. They had to shut that down in 2009 due to lack of maintenance and the unions. Spending on public education, adjusted for inflation, per student since 1960. But achievement hasn’t budged one inch. If the drug industry has failed, what words are in the English language for what the government has done?

What is the governance and ethic model here?
Agreed 100%, I know I talk like it's some big conspiracy but I really don't believe that (I talk more about this here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22150163), I totally think the main reason is "neglect and distraction", just like you said. Really this is just my frustration coming through over seeing the platform I love being neglected, but frankly I should probably stop letting that seep into my commentary since I don't think it's helping my case.

But... with that said, I do think there is something more insidious going on, and just because it's not a conspiracy doesn't mean it's not systematic. If you go upstream and look for the cause of the neglect and distraction, the root reason is simply that Apple's incentives don't line up with creators anymore. The majority of Apple's revenue no longer comes from this type of customer, like it once did, and in fact, per Ben Thompson article Apple has a lot to lose if a new killer app emerges, because those apps threaten Apple's control of their platform. Apple in 1996 had to listen to Adobe and Microsoft (and still has to listen to them on the Mac), but they don't on iOS, and that's because the restrictions on iOS haven't allowed a apps like Adobe's and Microsoft's to emerge. It's hard for me not to think that some of the reason so many security features get pushed through on macOS isn't because deep down there's some desire for that iOS-like control on the Mac as well. A companies incentives emerge from their cumulative decisions over time, even if it's not done consciously.
they changed it I think to be more incorrect, you can't put text in a View.
I just want those people that want children to have them, and those that don't now. We don't need a global or national policy on how much population we want.

In fact, we are currently subsiding families. I tend to oppose that, but not because of fear of overpopulation.

Most roads are already not used often, its really just a few roads that are to full. And in those cases its really a density problem that we are not gone solve by having slightly less children.

For the rest I don't think population is the issue. The issue is with how those markets are organized. More people means you can have more teachers, not just more children. Currently the ratio is going down already, so I this is happening automatically anyway.
IANAL, but it seems like ToS could still govern your use of the data which you viewed. Sure, it seems like you couldn't claim any violation based on visiting a random page. But if the ToS is clearly identified on the page and you do something with the data that violates them, perhaps the owner of the site has a case.
>Building gas now and hoping it goes away in 50 years is a terrible solution

To me, that's your money statement. People get complacent. That's just the nature of animal life here on earth. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if gas was still with us in 50 years.

At the same time, as the article points out, nuclear really does have some real scaling issues. Even if we "just want a little", so to speak. It's a solution that's really only going to work if the government takes the lion's share of the risk. (ie - pays for it.) Even then, will it do everything for us? The mathematician in me looking at the physics says probably not, but you can't dismiss the possibility of revolutionary advances. I mean maybe fusion comes along? Who knows? Of course that puts us right back where we were with gas. Gambling on tech advances. But at least you're not pumping out CO2.

I don't know? My gut tells me the developing world will innovate and hodge podge together something that will make us rethink the problem. Like doing something unexpected with under or above ground pumped hydro storage maybe? Or something a bit easier like molten salt since they'd likely be using solar thermal anyway? They're also more willing to play fast and loose with safety, so cracking water for hydrogen fuel cells becomes really attractive in that environment. I don't know? Just think it might be interesting to keep an eye on what projects pop up in, say, island nations in Asia? Or, perhaps, coastal nations in Africa? If you have a lot of relatively simple local generation and storage, your grid level stuff doesn't even need as much load shedding or "gap filling"?

I guess we'll see how it all works out.

The smallness of SML is a big part of why this is 'A Tour of Standard ML' instead of 'A Tour of OCaml' or 'A Tour of Haskell'. It's small enough to learn in a couple days (in my mind!), but it has all of the niceties of statically typed, immutable functional languages, so it provides a good introduction to those ideas.

That said, I love how small it is, too. Every time I go back to SML, I find it refreshing how much power there is in a few simple ideas expressed well.

Generic Insulin is already cheap, around $100. It is the newer more effective versions that pharma companies have come up with recently that are more expensive.

One can't argue that the pharma companies are bringing no value, and then demand their specific product because the generic isn't good enough.

So did 12, 11, ... 7, when they stopped allowing to sort songs and albums, which worked in 6.

The converse scenario is also bad. Imagine an organized government subversion cell that is willing to harm civilians to further its objectives and is skilled at hiding in public (one doesn't have to try very hard given the nature of asymmetric warfare in the 21st century). Surely, we want the ability to locate their members as efficiently as possible?

Considering the dystopia 1984 predicted is a good idea, but one should also consider the failure mode of "Snow Crash" anarchic dystopia, where sufficiently-organized individuals use modern technology to harm innocent people and government cannot stop them. The mafia stories in the US stem from the era where city organized crime had firepower that out-gunned the police.

The metric (Jaccard distance) is symmetric. The assymmetry comes from ranking: JordanPeterson is more special-interest/intense-interest with a narrower more homogenous audience than the_donald, so it probably has more very-similar subreddits to it than the_donald does. the_donald would have more related reddits but with less perfect overlap in membership.

A broader base of people (about 1/4 to 1/2 of the voting age US public) is aware and supportive of Donald Trump and for a wide variety of reasons, and much more than half at at least aware of Donald Trump. Jordan Peterson has a much smaller following, who are interested in him for similar reasons to each other.
