Apple does allow side-loading apps today, but with restrictions that make it unsuitable for consumer applications - requirement for an enterprise provisioning profile, applications expire after a set period of time, applications are expected to be deployed via Xcode, etc.
China behind major cyber attack on Australian governments and businesses
Yep, as a long time hackintosher i'm definitely swapping now. Apple doesn't want GPU compute users, so it's not really worth fighting anymore.
So assuming I do not want my privacy violated, I am simply at the tyranny of the majority?
It's the paradox of the firm. Centralised authority seems to be effective for small and local efforts, while not being how you'd want the whole society to be run.
Apple Response to Hey
How Much Is Kaggle Relevant for Real-Life Data Science?
This is just my own personal theory, but one reason is that we just scoop animals up, put them in a room, and expect to try finding speech patterns. What would happen if a flock of hyperintelligent pigeons found some human babies and locked them up in a room until it's time for snacks and games? There probably wouldn't be much language observed aside from a few repeated sounds.

Another is aside from insects and humans and maybe some birds, not many creatures have multi-generational, continuous societies grounded in one region. Humans have towns, cities, and countries. People have had their entire family history confined to one town or one country with interconnected cities for centuries or even thousands of years. This lets humans develop a common means of communication between others who we see frequently or between those who share a similar background. A lot of animal groups get pretty divided and don't live in large and everlasting packs. There's not much evolutionary pressure for complex language to evolve. We don't even know when humans first developed languages capable of expression of abstract thoughts, but it was probably sometime after we started to organize ourselves and cooperate to form lifelong communities.

The last one is that even if animals had a language, our brains just might not recognize it. For example, to many Europeans, picking up the idea of a tonal language at 40 is pretty tough. They might not even notice the difference in sound. Animals might have some way to distinguish words that we're just not looking at. I think this is one time where the recent ML/AI surge might come in handy. Record thousands of hours of animal sounds and put it through a black box. We've identified some sounds from prairie dogs as carrying meaning, but I don't think we've managed to identify grammar or sentences yet.

Because every feature and parameter would have to be baked into the format and every editor would have to offer those same features and no more.

There's always a trade-off between editability and fidelity with any format. Non-destructive stacks of modifiers bring that trade-off into sharp relief.
> Maybe, maybe not. How useful is Google (or search in general) to you?

I think I use google in the same way as you.

Most of the time, I could go to the websites directly (MDN, Stackoverflow, HN), but sometimes I'm trying to find something I don't know about, by trying different terms. I usually do this when I want a particular product but I don't know what it's called or what it is "smallest itx case without gpu", "midi router no power supply", "waterproof tarp diy tent setup".

I installed a browser extension called uBlacklist as recommended by someone here a couple of weeks ago, so now 90% of the time Google search is like my Ctrl-P for MDN, Stackoverflow, etc since I've managed to filter out the sites I don't want to see results from.
There are three things that are hard to leave Google for:
1. My email address, I've had my firstname.lastname@gmail.com from almost the beginning of Gmail.
2. $99 a year for 2TB of storage that is shared across my email, images and Google Drive
3. Google One, I can share that storage with my wife and kids and also monitor my kids accounts.

I hate myself a little for tying my kids into Google with their own Gmail addresses but the process is too easy to ignore, I don't have time to cobble together a mishmash of services. One part of me thinks Google needs to be broken up, the other thinks it will be a pain in the ass.
It’s an proof of concept exploit for a vulnerability in the sandbox used by FF which is a security boundary to reduce the impact of RCE. The reason for the injection is I don’t just have a working RCE lying around (we get them fixed) and using one would add additional complications and obfuscate the bug when reporting. The purpose of a proof of concept is to demonstrate impact so that it can be fixed.
> Why do you say so? (about Debian/Ubuntu)

Critical security fixing time is years, not days. Also in practice, a lot of people use PPAs to get work done, and this is a critical component in an audited system.
> Where was your outrage then?

There has been plenty of that in the last few years, especially regarding Steam fees. Large game producers complain a bit less because their IP is so valuable they can get deal.

Also, I don't understand why Apple apologists think the console market is a good defense of Apple behavior. Every time someone talks about it, all I can hear is it's high time to make a precedent because the situation is also terrible in this other related market.
I think it is the verb meaning of "hash". e.g. hash things out i.e. come to an agreement.
From a few days ago, you said:

> As a counterpoint, look at what happens with the "it's okay to be white" posters. Completely benign, commonsense and not a reaction to something. And yet...

Huh. Starting to notice a trend. Curious how that works out. Also, what's your thing with George Soros? Usually people like yourselves are quick to jump on another dog whistle.
And don’t forget those like me for whom school is a distant memory!

What are the domains where this new method can be applied? Is it mostly physics simulations and the likes?
Your experience at varying different companies is more valuable than a single perspective of someone internally.
My 18 year old step-son does not care about OSS, or Linux. Yesterday his just received a new laptop. He said, "well, I'm going to install Linux on it, you know, for games". By which he means minecraft, which ran much better on Linux than on the native windows 10 his last laptop came with. Higher fps, more terrain loaded....yadayada ...... I shot soda out my nose.
> That's not exactly the same scenario. If Ford allowed installing radios only via Ford and allowed other companies to sell radios via Ford, but then artificially restricted said radios so that its radios would have an advantage then it would apply, and I suspect that people would be upset.

This happens all the time. Integration of the radio and climate control system/navigation system. Custom wiring for the speaker system and accessory systems. Dashboard cavities which are a non-standard size.
^ I see that you're not joking with this comment :D. Jokes aside, I'm adding facts

TypeScript is statically typed because of the type annotations and how the compiler checks the type compatibility between objects.

You may can consider TypeScript weakly-typed, because the TypeScript type information are not being encoded into the compilation result.

This is similar to C (being staticcally and weakly typed). You can print int as string and the compiler won't complain.

On the other hand, JavaScript is a dynamically typed and strongly typed language. It is strong as the types are encoded in the runtime. The proof is the keyword `typeof` and its ability to do Reflection.

Without a sane monetary system which has a limited supply of money, the ponzi scheme will never pop.
It will keep on quietly diluting the wealth of workers to pay for projects which benefit the owners of existing capital.

The financial system is founded on financial insanity. The idea that one should keep taking out new credit cards to pay off your the ones - Except that this is happening on a global scale.
> Let's set aside the unproven assumptions; so your logic is that if you're a nice platform monopolist, you can charge arbitrary platform access fees. But if you're a bunch of meanies, different laws shall apply to you. I'm sorry, I was under the misapprehension that you were making a serious point.

You're not entirely wrong:

https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/10/07/report-steams-30-cut...

> One source explained that although Steam only takes 30%, other fees and deductions mean they are usually collecting closer to 65% on their end, while they say console sales return much closer to the full 70% but are stingier with refunds and the like.

> Another source also stressed that just because a retailer takes 30% doesn’t mean the developer of the game actually gets the other 70%, saying publishers often earn between 30-70% of a sale themselves depending on the deal that has been struck. There are also engine licensing fees to consider (games that use Unreal have its 5% fee waived if they are sold on the Epic Store), taxes, and other costs not factored into what many people assume the actual creator of a game earns. One source said their takeaway from a physical retailer at the end of the day is often between just 10-15%.

You know, maybe this doesn't have to end with Apple. The Google Play store charges a 30% service fee as well. Maybe the entire pricing system of the industry is fucked, and worth further scrutiny. Furthermore, it's been repeatedly brought up in the discourse over the publishing industry's recent lawsuit against Internet Archive that the industry standard for book publishing are contracts where the publishers pocket 75% of book sales, while the author retain the rest. Meanwhile, you hear horror stories out of the music industry where artists are paid a pittance. This can be an endemic problem that's afflicting multiple industries at once. Maybe we can confer our righteous indignation both at Apple, and the rest. And maybe we ought to figure out a better way to help creators, whether app developers, game developers, authors, or musicians, get the pay they're due.
> If there's one thing this "defund the police" movement has shown me, it's how much money is spent on police departments.

You have been misled. The US does not spend a crazy or obscene amount of money on the police.

Government spending is a combination of local + county + state + federal. Local governments are not the primary source of funding for health or education. That’s not a bad thing. The fact that city budgets are dominated by police (and fire) has everything to do with tiers of government responsibility and nothing to do with “how much money is spent on police”.

They sell their devices at a healthy margin. Their financial interest in the device should stop at the till. If they want to sell additional software and services then they can prove their value on a competitive level playing field.

Right now they are double-dipping, not because of value they are adding, but because of the power they have given themselves over the consumer/developer relationship.

For the vast majority of projects using Linux as their server OS, wouldn't it be simpler to just have systemd start the service and include `Restart=on-failure` in the unit file?
They could record the live broadcast from the moon on to multiple reels, but they couldn't replay from multiple. They would have needed a lot of tape, but not one continuous play.
No offense but that's not at all how competition law works.

There is a reason regulators in the world are investigating Apple right now and it's not because they are a model citizen.
Unless I mean straight quotes, I type curly quotes as a matter of course. Love my Compose key. :)
I agree, but we can move two ways - we could also make sure we describe more contemporary occurences with the ritual language, and maybe that might clarify what we mean in just the same way, bridging the cultural gap between then and now?

I'm not sure about the the screwdriver, but certainly such things as the Sunday Morning Family Waffle Iron, can be described as items for ritualistic purposes, right?
Are composable behaviours a common thing in actor systems? I don't think I've seen it expressed like that in the actor frameworks I've used in the past.

Kind of looks like a actor system mixed with an ECS (Entity Component System).

Well, in your sibling I have linked a paper that talks about the negative effects of un-coordinated persistent TCP connections on the network's stability. I read a god chunk of it, and it seems to explain quite well why these push services get special treatment. Hint: it's connected to them running a keep-alive delay in the "hours" range for the mobile radio link, without imposing that on the cloud server.
Exactly. Is MC Hammer going to change his name too? I don't think so.

Damn, China and Australia are not getting along lately...
you've touched on the problem and the solution - number of people using it. for people who were children in the early 2000s it's a distant memory now but adults used to be generally bad with computers and windows was just as much wizardry as anything. be the linux userbase you want to see in the world and help others when they want to join just like the 10 year olds of 2003 handheld parents through computer use. there's never going to be a magic solution, there just needs to be a sufficient number of people using it so that your outlined issue of proximal support gets better.

ubuntu (and i'm sure others) are in a great state for casual users already -- i've handed multiple family members an ubuntu machine with no more instruction than "use it like any other computer, don't be scared by the icons looking a little different" with great success. for the increasing number of people who do almost all of their work in a word processor and a browser exclusively, it's a complete solution with almost zero hassle.
> And yes, I avoid products from Chinese companies for that reason and I'm always skeptical of US products too. Sorry, but I'll never buy stuff from companies like Huawei, not until I'll see a strong commitment to privacy, especially when the administration of the host country sees human rights as an existential threat and targets activists from other countries.

Stop buying stuff from Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft because these companies are a part of a surveillance program called PRISM. IF you really value privacy, you wouldn't just abandon Huawei, but you'd do the same for these companies too. Unless you have a double standard of course.
Being made of gold indicates that it was at least not an every day tool. Of course it could still be just a fancy golden calendar.

Anyway the German Wikipedia page about Goldhüte [1] says the ritual significance was attributed because there are tomb paintings depicting similar hats being worn in some religious/cultic context.

I don't have any real understanding over the Laplace transform, but I understand Fourier transform well enough that it makes sense to me. Back then, I saw an claim that Laplace transform is a generalization of Fourer transform in the sense that it transforms a function not only to a space of frequencies and phases of sine waves, but to a larger space of parameters of exponentials. Note that the parameter space of the sine waves is subset of the (complex) parameter space of exponentials.

Is this claim correct?
Disclaimer: Hazy memory about this, take it with a heap of salt.

I think there were being some problems with that. It is planned but still in the future, possibly only with another feature update.
It's about time they got hit.

This will show people the fact that apple is not going to protect them from the government (dispelling bullshit marketing). In turn, it will make people adopt truly open and ownable (?) tech, because for some reason people are way more negative about govt control than about apple control.

So it's a win in my book.
It's rather broad to speak for many eastern cultures and are we talking of the citizens or their governments? And if it is their governments whom do not value privacy you are referring to those that have leaders are "elected by the citizens" or have this "different way of governance" that you allude to?

Your statement can be re-interpreted as "whoever has the power not only makes the rules but has complete moral right to do so". That is clearly not correct. I'll just quickly violate Godwins law by pointing out this would mean the Nazis were correct, as they were the leaders elected by their citizens and thereby had the right to decide what was best for their citizens. And this is from the "elected leaders" part of your statement, not even the "different ways of governance" portion. Your statements can also be used to support slavery, etc.

If you believe in any kind of society that is not selective by ethnic or ideological group, there are universal human rights that must be adhered to. If you don't, then obviously your opinion becomes less relevant because we may not be in the same ethnic/ideological group and so one or the other us may not have the right to speak and to discourse in whatever society this is.

We can debate whether privacy is one of them, but knowing where everyone is and following them every moment of the day and being able to locate them down to a meter and follow all of their interactions enables and very strongly supports a lot of what we would call bad behaviour by a government - selected secret police apparatus, suppression of journalism, other cultures, and dissent, ideological control, restriction of movement, slavery, genocide, etc.
No, you convince the majority. If they don't agree then maybe the really are right until you convince them otherwise. Imagine if you want to employ slave labor. The majority today disagrees. Would would still call it the tyranny of the majority?

The hypothetical culture of rule-breaking might not be convinced by a culture of rule-breaking surveillance. Seriously, I think government has gone to far with surveillance and that just means that I want to minimize my data collection on a domestic level.
I think the fees percentage should not be capped. Apple should be free to charge whatever they want. The main problem is the second issue you mentioned. That way apple controls devices without the owner of the device having any say in the matter. That should not be allowed. It is my phone, I paid for the hardware and software. So either let me install whatever app I want, or open source the whole thing so I can flash my own ios compiled from github.
Making an iPhone do work in the background is fairly non-trivial, and not launching for that platform is suicide for a contract tracing app.
Are you really saying you'd be okay with the same idea in any other part of you life? How about a neighborhood where you're not allowed to bring in any products except those offered by the company that build the neighborhood? How about car that you're not allowed to carry any items inside or any people that are not officially blessed by the car manufacture? How about a fridgerator that only allows food designated by the makers of the fridge.

It seems like your argument is people opted into buying things with those restrictions therefore it's ok but many things have been banned in the past along similar lines.
FWIW, I completely agree with everything you wrote. I'm not opposed to new laws that set a limit on platform access fees—but such laws can't be targeted at Apple exclusively. They have to be applied to any company which charges fees for access to an exclusive market.
