I just posted this in Ask HN but I'll post it again here.

How is it that browsers are not banned by the current App Store Guidelines? I know that sounds ridiculous but ...

The guidelines say

> ### 4.7 HTML5 Games, Bots, etc.

> Apps may contain or run code that is not embedded in the binary (e.g. HTML5-based games, bots, etc.), as long as code distribution isn’t the main purpose of the app, the code is not offered in a store or store-like interface, and provided that the software (1) is free or purchased using in-app purchase; (2) only uses capabilities available in a standard WebKit view (e.g. it must open and run natively in Safari without modifications or additional software); your app must use WebKit and JavaScript Core to run third-party software and should not attempt to extend or expose native platform APIs to third-party software; (3) is offered by developers that have joined the Apple Developer Program and signed the Apple Developer Program License Agreement; (4) does not provide access to real money gaming, lotteries, or charitable donations; (5) adheres to the terms of these App Review Guidelines (e.g. does not include objectionable content); and (6) does not offer digital goods or services for sale. Upon request, you must provide an index of software and metadata available in your app. It must include Apple Developer Program Team IDs for the providers of the software along with a URL which App Review can use to confirm that the software complies with the requirements above.

That sounds like all 3rd party browsers are banned. Breaking it down

> Apps may contain or run code that is not embedded in the binary

> ... provided that the software ...

> (3) is offered by developers that have joined the Apple Developer Program and signed the Apple Developer Program License Agreement

Which means downloading random webpages that run software from users and sites that are not in Apple's Developer Programs is against that rules.

That would mean all 3rd party browsers are banned. What am I missing?

* People should be able to run their own distribution. It's the Internet and it's a simple problem. Companies need to stop dipping their fingers in the pie and offering little in recompense.*

So has Amazon stopped people from selling their stuff on their own website?

There are three major gaming consoles, PC, mobile, self-distribution... lots of platforms with which to gain distribution. There are libraries and frameworks that let you write the game once and publish it to all platforms.

There are also frameworks that help you publish to both mobile platforms. But just like cross platform games, you still need to own the development machines for the console or computer.

Movies, finance, communication, dating. Apple and Google tax all of the commerce happening there.

Most commerce happening there is done on the providers website. The client is on the mobile site. Apple nor Google get a cut.

They do this at a loss to aid negotiations for pricing and ensuring they get enough stock. It's complicated.

You really think store brands are sold at a loss and not a higher profit?

I run a minimal email-based bookmarking service called EmailThis.me [1].

EmailThis removes ads, distractions, and clutter from web pages and sends you a nicely formatted email with just the text and essential images. It also gives you the option to save a full PDF snapshot of each web page which is then sent as the email attachment.

It is meant to be a simpler alternative to tools like Pocket, Instapaper, and Evernote.

The Puzzle Palace
Only if April 3rd was Backup Day.
Your story halfway answered your own question. You preserve food because you need it later (say, for the winter), not because you have a surplus. As long as production keeps up (and governments will try hard to make that happen) and food processing isn't severely impacted by social distancing, no one will ever want all that canned food. If food production does break down, the concerns are staples, not squash, tomatoes, and peppers.
If we're going to mine ancient history, lets put up a disclaimer that any company that exists for a 40+ years and is trying to invent new things is going to change their mind about stuff. If they didn't, they probably wouldn't be very good at inventing things.

There's context to consider with Apple in the 90s, which was weeks from bankruptcy. Here's SJ's rather famous response at WWDC 97 to why OpenDoc was killed, and a little later on he describes his opinion of Newton [1]. Hard to disagree with the sentiments.

Killing OpenDoc and Newton was a way to keep the company alive and prepare for the next big thing. 4 years later, out pops the iPod. 10 years later, the iPhone.

String Interning (Wikipedia)
No.

So, first off, even when this is allowed, the UI experience sucks, as you aren't allowed to help the user make the purchase from the app: the user has to go hunting on Google for the idea they can make an external purchase.

> Apps and their metadata may not include buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than in-app purchase.

But like, while you might think it is allowed--due to the existence of some apps like Netflix and Udemy--those apps are in explicitly exempted content-catalog oriented product categories, such as movies and online education.

> Apps may allow a user to access previously purchased content or content subscriptions (specifically: magazines, newspapers, books, audio, music, video, access to professional databases, VoIP, cloud storage, and approved services such as classroom management apps), provided that you agree not to directly or indirectly target iOS users to use a purchasing method other than in-app purchase, and your general communications about other purchasing methods are not designed to discourage use of in-app purchase.
> You isolate the B cells by limiting dilution and/or immortalize them by fusion with a special type of cell to make a hybridoma to isolate clonal populations of single cells that are maintainable. Then you test each clonal population for whether it produces the antibody of interest

Do people actually still do it this way? I would have thought that you would use more targeted approaches where you use an antigen to fish for cells of interest before culturing. There are a few such techniques described here:

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2019.0169...

Naively, i would have thought you could do something with affinity columns or magnetic beads, too - coat beads with antigen, then use those to extract B cells expressing a matching surface immunoglobulin.

I don't believe any country can eradicate the virus within its borders once it has spread sufficiently, at least without some form of herd immunity. I think China knows this and is already finding ways to blame foreigners. I think China could completely shut down its borders and still be at significant, if not inevitable, risk.

Note that I think other countries will also play the blame game. I don't plan to buy into the finger pointing as it doesn't really solve anything.
This is very intriguing! I hope you can too. Let me know if I can help in any way!
The corollary to this: if you need TP, paper towels, etc. and you need them now, check your local restaurant supply store or industrial supplier.

I'm not sure this is a great argument. Web standards and browser implementations evolve partly through absorbing ideas that lots of people are using anyway. A decade ago, no-one was using CSS variables or HTML media elements, but lots of people were using CSS preprocessors and Flash video players.
There are many things fascinating here. But two struck me:

Viral Proofreader · NSP14

As NSP12 duplicates the coronavirus genome, it sometimes adds a wrong letter to the new copy. NSP14 cuts out these errors, so that the correct letter can be added instead.

End of the Line

The coronavirus genome ends with a snippet of RNA that stops the cell’s protein-making machinery. It then trails away as a repeating sequence of aaaaaaaaaaaaa

So this thing has error detection and handling, and an EOF?
I use pinboard.in for bookmarking, and Simplenote for private stuff, OneNote for work.
The other way around may be easier, i.e. excluding known datacenter ranges. There are some commercial databases for that, i'm not sure if there are any free ones. But you can also do this manually by running a whois on an IP and then extracting the ranges from the whois response and caching then. Then you can look at the orgname or something like that. You can also download the whois databases from the RIRs, but they don't contain the information what kind of entities they are.

$ dig +short reddit.com
151.101.1.140

$ whois 151.101.1.140

So if you see a known hoster here then you can exclude it from your statistics.

I used to use Emacs and Org Mode, but, like many other commenters here, I noticed that I never went back and reviewed my notes.

Now I'm experimenting with TiddlyWiki, and I've been having a lot of fun with it. With a small modification, I made it so that tiddlers/pages displayed a list of all other tiddlers/pages that backlink to them. This made it very easy to start connecting ideas together, which is something I never succeeded at with my notes in Org files.

There are elegant designs and poor designs. Not a great revelation I’d gather.

Further, there’s no point in hobbling a general purpose device anymore as those folks have moved on to tablets etc. The division between workstations and appliances is a good one imho. Mixing metaphors has a poor track record.
Looks like React to me.
Imagine if you owned the electricity lines that ran around the city, and anyone who integrated an electrical appliance with 'your electricity' had to give you a 30% cut of their business?

Make a toaster? Apple gets 30% of that.

This is not new stuff. What Apple is doing is essentially anticompetitive.

Similarly, Google uses it's dominance in search to take over other categories.

I don't see a single politician who seems to understand the issue well enough, and 90% of them seem to have no clue. But I think that possibly Elizabeth Warren would actually be useful if she didn't overreach. (FYI this is absolutely not a political point, I'm not supporting left/right/Dem/Rep or any view and not even supporting someone's candidacy - I'm saying she's one of the few candidates that seems to be interested in this, and maybe has a grasp of it).

We have to be really careful with regulation, but I think there are a handful of anticompetitive, labour, and privacy regulations that would make America an even better and more competitive landscape.

By the way - the unspoken elephant is China dumping on tech landscape as well. There is a reason that trade agreements have an issue with government subsidies of businesses. Dumping is more obvious with commodities, but it's the same thing with other companies, i.e. Huawei, and it will creep into others (Zoom?). It needs to be at least looked at.
Exactly, the closest approximation to the App Store I can think of in the previous decades were game platforms like Nintendo and Sega. I would be curious to know from someone with experience how much % of revenue would have been allocated to licensing + all costs just to get someone to slam your cartridge into their system and press start.

EDIT: for an addressable market that was much smaller in scale.
From TFA:

> Mathematicians often publish papers in journals where they are editors. As long as the authors recuse themselves from the peer-review process “such a case is not a violation of any rule, and is common”, says Hiraku Nakajima, a mathematician at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe in Tokyo formerly part of Publications of RIMS’s editorial board. Mehrmann confirms that this would not violate EMS guidelines.

> Kashiwara said that Mochizuki had recused himself from the review process, and had not attended any of the editorial board meetings about the paper. The journal has previously published papers from other members of the journals’ editorial board, he said.
I just don't get the multiple people saying "Zombie epidemics as a topic are over because of COVID-19". They might be over just because there's been a glut of them, but in no way, shape, or form does the current pandemic resemble a zombie pandemic.
Many problems are not suitable to be addressed by individual’s consumption choices. For instance, I think governments and international trade organizations should make sure there is no slavery involved in producing goods - it should simply not be legal to sell something if it was produced by slave or child labor. I would ask you to judge me on the efforts I make to influence politicians in this direction, rather than on whether or not I have done extensive research on the sourcing of minerals of every smart phone brand. The latter simply does not scale.
I like omni focus. It's got a good web app which has a sharing extension in ios so I can easily share links to it and tag them. Search is great and the Mac app seems nice. Web client fine for pc.
> They traded a bit of security in favor of useability? Fair enough.

No, that's not "fair enough".

> They failed to recognise AES-EDC can be attacked by very motivated cryptanalysts? Alright.

No "motivated cryptanalysts" have put time into looking at yet.

> They gathered a little bit more data than they claim they did? Well, who is not doing that?

People who care about your privacy?

> I think they proved they can be agile.

They proved they could fix things that they lied or were clearly shady as soon as the media got wind of it?

> Do we need E2EE for that? probably not, but that is my choice.

It is your choice, but you have the right to make an informed choice. Zoom lied and prevented people from doing this.
>produce healthier food cheaply enough that most consumers can afford it

That's sort of what supermarket produce is--especially fresh and frozen. It may not taste as good as something local that's in season a lot of the time. (Though some fresh supermarket produce is local depending upon where you live.) But by and large it's perfectly healthy.
Presumably there are other laws available, e.g. ones related to stealing cable TV service.
Thank you thank you thank you!! Omg what a relief for her. Her current host family is acting hostile to her, making her work 80+ hours a week during this lockdown bc of course the kids have no school and telling her that they will keep her locked in until a vaccine is ready, even if the gov eases lockdown rules.

She was getting desperate and her mental health was deteriorating due to the uncertainty of her options.

This made my day. Thank you so so much!!
TL;DR: obscure, long "proof" of major conjecture by respected mathematician to be published in a journal he is closely associated with despite several years of scepticism by the wider maths community his attempt is successful.

Complicated somewhat by possible language and cultural barriers, and his perceived reluctance to fully engage with his critics or the maths world outside his home country.

It's an interesting and odd story that has been rumbling on for the last few years.

They're destroying crops because there's a surplus due to changes on the demand side. What they do with crops isn't all that important right now, as long as there's government support so that they replant next season.

> I'd much rather get a quart of state milk once or twice a year for free while paying .2% more sales tax than having usable food destroyed.

Once you realize wasting food isn't bad and a surplus actually implies resiliency, that statement is just confusing to read. Governments subsidizing farmers to overproduce so that shocks to the system don't cause famines is a good thing. That just means there's either waste or obesity.
Math student here. This whole process reflects very poorly on Mochizuki, IMO. The proper thing to do when claiming to have solved a major open problem is to make yourself available to the mathematical community, for example by giving lectures on your work. Releasing a preprint on your website and expecting other mathematicians to drop what they're doing and devote years of their time to understand your obscure paper just screams of arrogance. Also, publishing your work in a journal where you are the editor isn't a good look; it gives the impression of a conflict of interest. The critique by Scholze et al is the final nail in the coffin as far as I'm concerned.
To flatten the file hierarchy for the lookup, especially if there are non-org files, you could try opening files using counsel-projectile (narrow a single flat list of file using regexes)

If a search-like interface works for you (such as counsel-grep-or-swiper) then the exact directory structure where you store your notes is less important (even a single [big] org file can work).

It might be easier to edit an Org tree than a directory tree.
The NANOG community is much better to operate in. You are dealing with your peers (ha) and what you say generally resonates with the audience better. At IETF, you have people who collect paychecks from companies who technically run networks, but have no responsibility with the operation of it.
Travel light, buy what you need along the way. Take long flights during the night so they'll sleep.
