One very important piece that doesn't get enough time in the article is China's in country fab, SMIC.

They've got 14nm in risk production, and are making good progress on something equivalent to 10nm TSMC (that they're calling 7nm, but feature sizes are made up anyway). And perhaps most importantly China is making good progress on in country EUV litho steppers to cut ASML out of the picture too.

LVars are one of my favorite concepts, and they have roots in Vijay Saraswat's thesis on concurrent constraint programming, which is parametric over a choice of lattice. I second the recommendation for the LVars series of papers, and I also highly recommend digging up a copy of Saraswat's thesis work, which was published as a book. https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/concurrent-constraint-program...

The semantics of determinate CCP programs (and by extension, LVars programs) can be described really beautifully in terms of closure operators on the underlying domain. I'm not sure this made it into the initial published thesis, but this is an accessible paper on the topic: http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/comete/stages/references/ccp...

> No tracking

Personally, I think that Fathom strikes a good balance between privacy and usability, but it does still use tracking (or at least it did when I was looking at it a few weeks back) - the difference is that it uses fingerprinting instead of cookies. I think it's implemented in a privacy-focused way, but it does look like they are ignoring some of the EU ePrivacy guidance, which explicitly states that consent should be obtained before using fingerprinting, even if PII can't be reverse-engineered from the fingerprint.

As I say, I think their implementation makes a lot of sense, and even as a privacy advocate myself I think those particular pieces of ePrivacy guidance focused on fingerprinting is excessive. But the EU doesn't seem to agree.
Right, you have discrete graphics. I do not which is why I am stuck with the MacOS driver bug for Intel display hardware.

There are lots of costs associated with selling a home, but if there is significant equity built up in the property, and its value has appreciated, (which, to be fair are big "ifs" in current conditions) then those costs are less impactful. Trying to sell a home with a mortgage that's underwater after 3 yrs is the worst, but selling a mostly-paid off house after 10 or 20 years in a very popular area is less so. That's only if you have the cash-flow to do so, so keep that credit score up!
I'm not a fan of Purism, the company behind the Librem phone, but it's fairly capable hardware for the price. The PinePhone is arguably even better hardware for the money, but it isn't quite ready for prime time on the software side. Gone are the days where a $300+ device is too weak or slow to use daily.

A better tactic would be to purchase one of the few Android devices that are fully compatible with either Replicant or LineageOS, or a phone that can run Sailfish.
How much choice is it really if you're excluded from your friend groups because they don't like green bubbles? (True story, happened to a couple people I know.)

Apple excels at various kinds of lock-in. The more it does that the less tenable the "it's a choice" theory becomes.

If things like iMessage were available on non-Apple platforms, I'd be more sympathetic to Apple, to be honest.
> Security failures should be proportional to the actual cost and consequences.

That's wonderful for Nostradamus, but everybody else is obliged to operate without knowledge of the future. What will the actual consequences be of bad guys being able to send email from the VP Asia Pacific's account to the CFO's office five minutes before close of business?

Maybe nothing right? Or maybe an "urgent cash payment" of $48M to secure a take over deal vanishes into a maze of international accounts never to be recovered...

Security is a special problem because you have unknown sentient adversaries. You completely lack intelligence about the adversary because you don't even know who they are. Don't think about security decisions the way you'd think about decisions like whether to hire a back-up venue in case the company picnic is rained off.
Ask HN: I think I can take over an entire market; change my mind.
I have been an entrepreneur for 11 years. My current company is entirely boot-strapped. We have accomplished a lot in our time, including building a company from scratch, pivoting, winning a "bet the company" lawsuit, and shipping hardware products, which is HARD.

Currently, we are an OEM hardware/software product company for the Oilfield services sector.

Over time I have made several observations that lead me to believe that a funded, well-run startup could attain a dominant market-share position (50%+.)

The existing market is extremely fragmented with almost 100 competitors and almost no barrier to entry.

My gut is telling me to raise capital and pivot our business to compete with the existing OFS companies in this sector.

We would aggressively and intelligently achieve market share dominance by simply outcompeting the existing competitors on every level. Culture, Process, International Supply Chain, Optimized Service Delivery, Optimized Logistics, In-House Technology Stack.

Here’s the biggest question I need outside perspective on:

How do I know that what I see is a REAL market opportunity? I have been involved with this sector of oilfield services for most of my career. I spend a lot of my reflection time thinking about how to improve this sector, the sector that I am passionate about. How can I be sure that I am not walking around with a hammer and this is just another thing that looks like a nail?
Maybe not a formal disorder, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Mental issues can be pretty much anything you can dream off.
Frankly, no better options at this time.
> A label on food is easily looked at and any important information can be found within seconds.

I don't really agree. if I look at the label on a box of poptarts, I can see the number of calories in a serving and the ratio of carbs, fat, and protein. from this I can conclude that it is a relatively unhealthy food, but I have no idea how to interpret the breakdown of exactly what types of fat they contain. are polyunsaturated fats bad? what about monounsaturated? the nutrition facts are right there on the box, but I don't really know what they mean without doing a bunch of research.

the actual ingredients list is worse. there are at least ten ingredients in poptarts that I just don't recognize. I can clearly tell that they are not an "all natural" food, but not much else. if I had a food allergy or wanted to avoid a specific additive for whatever reason, it would certainly be useful, but otherwise not so much.

Cars are usually filled with gasoline that can spill and spread. Sparks and flames can blow quite some distance and start secondary fires. Police cars probably have ammo inside too, that can ignite. Toxic fumes can blow quite some distance, even into people's homes.

I'm sure that wasn't her intention, but serious fires are started by people who didn't intend to do anything more than have a campfire or fireplace. It's reckless, and it's counter-productive, turning people against the protests.

And just to be clear, it's entirely possible to be concerned about both police brutality and arson.

I don't mean to minimize your experiences at all. But since you mentioned eye contact, I thought I might as well mention that as someone who suffers from social awkwardness and mild OCD, one result of all the societal discussion around racism is that being around black people often makes me feel very awkward. Like, I have compulsive thoughts about whether I am thinking any racist thoughts right now, or saying racist things, or doing some other microaggression, and that results in some mild social awkwardness / difficulty with eye contact, and difficulty relaxing socially. Which ironically might very well be interpreted as racism :( Again, I don't mean to say that racism is not a thing or anything like that (or even that I myself am never actually racist haha--that's hard to know, that's the issue). Just wanted to add this to your list of hypotheses to consider when you're trying to explain whatever it is that you see.
Oh FFS, well, up to the top you go. Maybe someone at Apple will see this and poke their friends in App Store Review or something.

We really shouldn’t have to do that kind of shit.
Analogous != same. It means its very similar factually.

The law does not require that Google and Apple run their online stores the same way, or that Apple interact with Google's store the same way they choose to run their own store.

That's correct. But the law does require them to run the stores in a way that does not violate antitrust laws. Apple is violating antitrust laws by forcing companies to use Apple Pay as a condition of using the App Store (i.e., leveraging dominant/monopolistic market position in one market in a non-competitive manner over another market). Apple cannot then do the same thing it prohibits in its own app store in the Google Play Store, which has similar rules, because both of these actions have the effect of taking legal positions.

In fact it's arguable that a free marketplace encourages and depends on different companies taking different approaches to meet customer demands.

Which Apple does not permit. It's literally Apple's way, plus a 30% cut for doing nothing, or you're not even allowed to play. And that's exactly what antitrust laws were intended to prevent.

That's actually what the court cases are for, and I'm not sure they've actually completed? It feels like you're asserting how you feel it should work out when it hasn't completed yet.
This is a fair comment. I'm not saying that there couldn't be better privacy practices in place (while I think Google is better than average here, we aren' perfect and to your point I think a lot of people within Google recognize that).

But the question here is what part of this is sneaky? Is including a weird tracking header sneaky? Perhaps. Is making requests to doubleclick sneaky? In the context of those requests being made as part of a page load? Not on the part of Google, which is my point.

The original complaint was that the header was being sent

> That Google need to send "experimental headers" to a hardcoded domain for an advertising company they bought a decade or so back - because of course the results of web browser experiments should go to an advertising company

And the reason why is simple: that's the domain people are already making requests to.
I'm really having a hard time wrapping my head around why this is such a huge deal to people. Opinions are fine, everyone can have one but I always see Apple's payment options as a massive win as a consumer.

1. Subscriptions are easily monitored from a single page.

2. Before subscriptions renew I get emailed, not all services do this, shame on those that do not and a magic renewal transaction goes through without notifying you first

3. Trusting a single entity (Apple) with payment is easier for me to stomach than giving my credit card info to a dozen or more different sites/services manually

4. The user experience is vastly better using Apple's solution than having to enter all of my billing info by hand each time or with Bitwarden even which can get things wrong often enough I always have to double check.

As a developer you gain the advantage of users being able to easily purchase, and users have a credit card assigned to their Apple ID making purchases incredibly easy. I'd argue, without proof anyway, that this probably results in purchases you'd never get otherwise due to how easy and seamless it is.

The 30% cut is a lot, but I think in general there are big benefits for users, maybe the developers don't see it that way, but as a user I would NEVER use something other than Apple's payment solution in the App Store. So if you're asking for that option and I seen you were charging more for it through Apple's solution and less through some other service I'd immediately not pay for your app. Simple as that. You'd basically lose me as a potential customer.

Thanks. I'm familiar with the distinction between common and civil law, but that does not seem sufficiently specific to my question to be very helpful.

The link to judicial estoppel is helpful, but seems much less broad than the gamblor956's claim. Judicial estoppel involves a party presenting contradictory arguments in separate court cases, not just hypocritical behavior by the party. (gamblor956: "if you take a position in federal court on X... and you are found to be doing not-X in an analogous situation...").
Amoral doesn't mean immoral, it just means without regard for morality. Corporations in their purest form can lean towards amorality, because profit motive / share price is the only real job of the board and executives. Of course, most businesses in the real world are not 100% cut-throat: they are staffed with real humans making decisions, and if nothing else, are at least cognizant of bad PR.
While skimming, I find the article-examples largely unreadable compared to idiomatic Go. You'd almost require generic-aware syntax highlighting in order to grok complex syntax, which breaks normal readability.

Experimenting with wrapping as you suggest, seems a good way to see if that separates concerns in syntax enough to make generics "fun again". Programmed for long time in C++ w/templates . Any and everything that avoids the hells of those syntax and compiler error/messages, could even be called innovative if hitting the right spots. I see generics as convenience, but only if the costs doesn't accumulate over time * complexity.

Generics need to be something natural, not bolted onto a language, or sneaked in. Unlike precompiler defines, and templates to some degree. To that end, maybe it deserves its own nomenclature, form and space, to properly distinguish those special cases from more concrete cases of syntax. Just like we distinguish looping with "for".
Yes, that's what unemployment means. This has nothing to do with shared values though. I could absolutely work for some company whose values I don't share if they pay me enough.
That's not the way Windows works though. Can't speak for Linux desktops.

That's the old project- they have decided not to open source the new one.

The open source project is barely maintained at this point- they update the readme and get the occasionally pull request, but it's not really being developed.

I unfortunately switched to Fathom back when they were telling people they were committed to open source, so now I'm looking to migrate off to something a bit more trustworthy.
So you don't agree with any antitrust regulation?

The pressure analogy is a really good one; the problem is a lot of people don't understand water pressure any better than they understand electricity.

To try to make more explicit a point I tried to approach earlier:

A Black person can't just crucify themselves over injustice in the world and thus fail to get all their own mission done and expect it to accomplish what was desired. Going back to mathematics, my own original world, I saw Black mathematicians being overloaded with mentorship responsibilities and education responsibilities and speaking responsibilities and recruitment responsibilities and and and, and oh yeah the research they're actually evaluated on! So this great mathematician spends all her time in the committees and recruitment and teaching classes and organizing outreach... and then fails to get tenure because her publication record isn't strong enough (only three papers! and with collaborators, so she probably didn't do the work, right, she's doing so much else how could she have had the time?), and then has to look for another job. While the white guy who didn't do any education or recruitment or outreach published five crappy papers (with collaborators) and got tenure.

That Black mathematician's responsibility is her own survival and success. Her own survival and success is more valuable to the world than teaching freshman calculus this year, because if she gets tenure, she can teach freshman calc another year. "I don't live in a world where fairness is an option," is a fair statement. If she tries to change it alone, she fails and burns out. What was the benefit of that? What was the gain?

So the rest of us (for any given value of 'us') ought to step up.

There is clear law on that issue: https://oag.ca.gov/SB657

Right now, there is no law that app stores have to be open, or that they have any certain policies. Certainly, there is appetite for that law. Another comment says that Google Music costs 30% more on iOS, but Apple Music costs the same on both platforms. That is never a good look, but it is not clear that it is illegal. A law could be passed to make it illegal, however.
Dropbox Is a Total Mess

Nutritional information is information. It is legislated and regulated, but not a contract. The manufacturer has to comply with regulations, but that is not considered a legally binding contract, and failure to comply does not constitute breach of contract. To be clear, just because there's a legal penalty attached for failure to comply does not constitute a contract between the manufacturer and the government.

Similarly, the individual is not bound to any contract to the manufacturer by purchasing a can of beans. They are, on the other hand, when purchasing software. It's a crucial difference.
This matches my experience: for the last year or so, I've had an eye out for a service like early Dropbox, before the company decided to become steadily more invasive and confusing.
