Not sure, I wondered if the comic actually was also trying to show the growth of "necessities" over time. Like a car at first was a luxury and not a necessity. A phone today might be a necessity. And the last strip doesn't even bring up necessities, it makes a case of the difficulty of fighting the system you complain about when being in it, which to me is also a point about necessities.

Like one could argue society makes it harder and harder for you to be ethical as time goes on. Making the path of resistance ever so harder and requiring more risk from you. And this can be used as a tool later to justify societies unethical choices. Like, hey, if you can't even be ethical yourself, why do you expect society to be and say we should?

And maybe this is the point of the comic?

Some people have workarounds for recaptcha or at least understand how it behaves to not bother solving impossibly hard puzzles, but not for hcaptcha. I got hit by hcaptcha today on a digitalocean website I think which is served via cloudflare and struggled to solve it. After clicking "I'm not a robot" it started asking me to find dogs in pictures a couple of times, pretty awful experience. I don't know what to say, it's been many years and cloudfare is still pretty incompetent in that area ruining the web for a lot of people.

That's not the same at all. You left out an important step in the first model:

Energy -> Factory + Labor -> Goods and Services -> Revenue

Goods and services improve the life of people, and we have deliberately organized our society in such a way that providing goods and services is incentivized with revenue.

That you can also leech revenue for yourself by shuffling liquid assets around while providing no net benefit to the world is a side effect nobody intended. If you happen to reinvest that revenue into something more positive than what the other suckers would have, then no harm no foul, I suppose, but then "Revenue" shouldn't be the endpoint of your model. Something like "Well-being" should.
Or you can just have subscriptions outside of the App Store....

My background is nothing to do with biology, but it has struck me for years that natural selection is just a broad statement about probabilities that can be applied almost everywhere.

It is something like: if something has high odds to exist, given enough time to possibly exist, it will exist.

So an inert protein coming into existence? Sure. Better odds to be replicated? Then it'll happen. We ascribe agency or will to survive. Those probably help the odds in a lot of cases. But the concept is broader than that.
For an even more extreme perspective, I haven't paid for software of any sort in over 20 years, and I don't pirate either. I don't play games and if I want to edit a photo I figure out how to do it in gimp.

I've been busy the last two decades too. I've built websites, used CAD to design and machine dozens of physical objects, designed circuit boards, wrote and compiled software, made music, simulated chemical reactions, created and edited text documents, converted files from all sorts of formats to other formats, deployed databases with millions of rows, run two small businesses, and sent and received thousands of communications over myriad channels. All using free and open source software.

If there's something I want to do with a computer and I can't find a free solution that does it I write new code to accomplish my task (but honestly, this almost never happens these days).

Roman taxes varied a lot over the course of ~2000 years, so it is implicitly complicated. On big difference is that Roman tax collectors bought the right to collect taxes, the publicani.

Basically, some Roman lesser-noble (equite) goes to an auction. He buys the right to collect taxes in some village or port or something else. They even give him a special stick so that all the plebs know they gotta pay this guy. Usually, the cost of this stick was about the amount of taxes generated. The money that the guy gives Rome is treated as a loan, and it accrues interest. So the guy gets the money back at the end of his term as tax collector, plus a little bit more. Critically, if the guy just lies to the people and takes more in taxes than what he paid for the stick, he get to just keep that too. Totally legal. Usually, this guy doesn't have the cash up front, so he goes to other people to gin up the money for the auction. If the port gets hammered by a storm or the village burns down, tough cookies for the guy with the stick. He's still gonna owe the money to his creditors at the end of his term.

Jesus even talks about this in the Bible. He uses the Publican as a foil to the Pharisee (a super religious person) and talk about needing forgiveness and praying humbly. Basically, the publican is the most hated person that even Christ could think of. Not the legionaries, not the Emperors, but the tax man.

Again though, these tax systems changed a lot over time.

People were building and distributing software for decades without giving apple 30%. It's just a phone. Smartphones existed before the App Store, too. It provides useful services but it's not the virgin mary and it's not some profoundly new invention: They just did a bunch of things previous apps had done, did them well, and slotted them all together.

Things that existed before the app store:

* Store performing payment processing (steam, for example)

* Same storefront for purchase and install

* Automated updates

* User reviews

* Content submission and distribution (steam again, along with basically every other app store)

* Code signing

Things that appeared other places around when the app store got them, if not earlier:

* IAP

* Subscriptions

It's totally reasonable for Apple to put all this stuff together and decide it's a good enough package to charge you for it. It's also totally reasonable to think 30% is too much, and to think it's absurd that everyone is required to put up with their arbitrary rule enforcement.

If you're paying Apple for a service it's not "entitlement" to expect it to actually be good.

My understanding of this product is that it is a revisiting of Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) as seen in Itanium 20 years ago. I think that the idea of VLIW was a good idea that failed at the time due to the pure momentum of x86 and Moore's law.

Now the Moore's is basically at its end and x86 is partially stagnating, at least from Intel, other platforms like ARM are gaining traction and it seems like a good time to revisit VLIW.

I think another key factor is that most applications now run on top of platforms/frameworks rather than at the native level. This means you only need to port Linux, the JVM, node, python, and a few others and you captured a pretty large potential audience. Compare this to the mid 00's when moving to Itanium meant porting all you native apps.
No one thinks that Apple looks out for developers. Apple’s order of priorities are.

1. Itself

2. Customers

3. Developers

How is this paywall bypassed? I've tried disabling scripts, reader view, and archive.org.

Edit:

From the FAQ for HN:

>Are paywalls ok?

It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds.

In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so.
Incomplete. They may set their own interests first, but they reliably demonstrate the priority of users to the extreme annoyance of e.g. Netflix, Amazon, and so forth. For example, Apple is clearly looking out for the interests of users with higher precedence than the interests of developers. Developers chafe at this, but consider an example:

iOS 13 now throws a dialog asking you to confirm that you want an app to be using your location data in the background. Mobile user data resellers noted a massive worldwide drop in sellable location data when this feature was released. Is this benefit for Apple actual, Apple's users, and/or Apple's developers?

It's not for developers, because the developers either used the appropriate location permissions anyways, or are now discovering that their crappy ad frameworks are angering their userbase.

It's unclear whether it's for Apple actual, because there's no financial revenue gain when they institute this, only a drowning of the swamp of data reselling (without any corresponding monetary uptick anywhere). There's probably some indirect possibilities, but I can't construct a significant and plausible case. Perhaps someone else can.

It's absolutely clear that it's for Apple's users, because those are who is concerned about and harmed by data resale. It offers a free benefit at no cost to the user, requiring neither purchase nor subscription.

So it's essential to consider each of these aspects when assessing who's interests Apple is looking out for. Yes, it's easier to argue that Apple is selfish, because it's less work than considering the three-pronged reality of apple/users/developer. It's still worth the effort to do so.
NYC Schools Chancellor forbids use of Zoom
There is a school of thought that says, with some justification, that the American suburb was designed specifically to destroy community ties, for the reason that without community ties it is hard to form the kinds of labor organizations that can oppose capital, and also owning your own home, even if it’s really the bank that owns it, makes you more sympathetic to the interests of the property owning class. It certainly is true that the advent of the suburb happened at the same time as the decline of the socialist movement. After all if you’re living cheek to jowl in dickensian conditions you might be inclined to see the boss as your enemy, but if you leave the workplace everyday and head back to your own property in a suburb, where the boss has a house nearby, with your 401k being your retirement plan, then perhaps less so.
What'd I tell you? This is either malice, or sufficient incompetence as to be indistinguishable from malice.
I've gone through this process twice- one about six months ago, and once just this week.

In the first event the content wasn't clearly licensed and the site as somewhat small, so I didn't want to break them. I emailed them and they gave us permission but only if we only crawled one page per ten seconds. Took us a weekend, but we got all the data and did so in a way that respected their site.

The second one was this last week and was part of a personal project. All of the content was over an open license (creative commons), and the site was hosted on a platform that can take a ton of traffic. For this one I made sure we weren't hitting it too hard (scrapy has some great autothrottle options), but otherwise didn't worry about it too much.

Since the second project is personal I open sourced the crawler if you're curious- https://github.com/tedivm/scp_crawler

By definition, the consumer is willing to pay what food is worth.

On the other hand, the claim you're actually trying to make here, that the consumer should be willing to pay what food costs regardless of how little it's worth, is ludicrous.

Ask HN: What is the free quota of Google maps, places and auto complete API's?
As everyone knows, the Google quota table is extremely confusing. I have been banging my head for more than 2 hours to figure out this, either the blogs or outdated or the calculators are extremely unreliable.

I am building an application and I would like to use google placees api and autocomplete with basic details.
For example:

- Let's say my site might have a 10000 visitors per day

- Each visitor will do one autocomplete search and click on the auto search result item

- Each visitor will do one nearbysearch which will give back a response with basic details

Does this comes under free quota? I have setup my billing in google cloud.
> The consumer has to make a stand and be willing to pay what food is worth.

Most consumers can't afford to. The solution is not to make everyone pay a lot more for food; it's to figure out how to produce healthier food cheaply enough that most consumers can afford it.
From the actual paper [0]:

Antibodies to this influenza HA trimeric interface epitope [that we studied before SARS-nCov-2 came along] do not exhibit in vitro neutralization activity but can confer in vivo protection. Similarly, antibodies to another conserved epitope that partially overlaps with the influenza HA trimeric interface also are non-neutralizing in vitro, but protective in vivo (26). Examples of antibodies that do not have in vitro neutralization activity but confer in vivo protection, have also been reported for influenza virus (27), herpesvirus (28), cytomegalovirus (29), alphavirus (30), and dengue virus (31). Therefore, although CR3022 does not neutralize SARS-CoV-2 in vitro, it is possible that this epitope can confer in vivo protection.

So the lack of in vitro neutralisation isn't a showstopper.

Still, that bit reads like reaching to me. We shouldn't expect this antibody to be that useful, although we can hope.

Moreover, i suspect we shouldn't think about manufactured antibodies as a treatment for COVID-19 at all, as i doubt we have the manufacturing capacity for biologicals to use them against a pandemic on this scale.

Rather, i think this points towards this part of the virus being a good target for vaccines. If you can make a nice little edited version of that epitope (the SARS-nCov-2 version), you might be able to use it to make a vaccine which raise neutralising antibodies.

My university was a mixture.

For example, the introductory engineering classes you typically take in your first year are large 300+ classes taught by professors with lectures 2-3 times a week. Additionally, TAs (typically grad students) would hold smaller sessions for those classes with maybe 30 students each.

Once you move into more specialized classes the size goes down significantly and are all taught by professors.

Yes, the old labor theory of value. In one of pg's essays, he describes it as believing that if you want someone to paint your house, you should be willing to pay them ten times as much if they say they're going to do it with a toothbrush.
Have you ever developed for consoles?
The GP literally said "state backed", so obviously the state is going to pay it.
It seems to be the fibre, but I'm not enough acquainted with materials to know where or what.

The wording seems to be that is literally used in surgical masks:

> K10S pulp is made from western red cedar that produces a soft fibre that makes it suitable for the final products made from it.

“It’s been tweaked over the years to come up with the right formula that allows it to go into the medical supplies,” Sampson said.

Your source indeed says: these materials are used.

But it never says they are listing all the materials that are used.

It could be that they mention it because those materials can touch the skin. I don't see anything that mentions the filtering technique/materials inside of those masks.

I also don't see how the materials are tweaked. So I don't think it's as easy to read the brochure and believe that they mention everything on it.

I guess the Polypropylene fibrids in the filter contains the K10S ( = the pulp )

An indication to support this can be found here: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/8172035.html

( Search for K10S in the text and read the entire surrounding text)

As stated before, I'm not an expert.
Right. I think the value of this "React in 33 lines" article is it shows us such an API would be easy to implement and add on by the browser-makers.

Would it be as fast as React? Well it wouldn't need to be, but it well could easily be since it would be implemented in native code.

It could be an extension to the Shadow-DOM API, right?
This is a really good counterpoint, thanks. What, if any, government interventions could be put in place to somehow add value to BTC mining?
