The problem is, Apple taking a cut from service where they

don't own the device (you bought it from them; you own it)
don't provide the network (you contract for that yourself)
don't provide the content

Its just some kind of strong-arm tactic - they do it because they can. Like some bouncer outside a club who demands money, but is not employed by the club nor the act. Just standing in the door and demanding money, and you have to pay because you want to get in.

All this splitting hairs over exactly who they strong-arm and who they don't is beside the point.
Sounds great! I am sure you will enjoy it. If you have any feedback let me know. Cheers!
Heck if we're talking about inconsistency we don't even have to look at other apps. Apple itself already approved Hey (and it is in the App Store right now), but is now rejecting updates, simply because it got assigned to a different agent this time around.
I’m sorry I think you misinterpreted what I meant by “damned if you do...”.

I meant that either the democrats or the republicans will damn them no matter what they do.

I agree with your negative sentiments regarding the disturbing advertisements coming from Trump.

I also agree that these ads should not be allowed on any media platform. I was simply commenting on Facebook’s precarious political position.

Despite how much we all dislike Trump on HN, he is the president and he will almost certainly retaliate against censorship from FB.
The fact that for a small field of employment, a sovereign can dramatically outbid the free market, if it so chooses.
It never was actually successfully blocked. I was in Russia while it was blocked - it worked OK, just seemed slower than usual. A lot of people use Telegram there, for both messaging and for reading the news outside the entirely government-controlled mainstream using "channels". Nowadays even some government agencies have their own channels on it, in spite of the "ban". There's a saying in Russia: the strictness of Russian laws is compensated by optionality of compliance.
It's not a display error. It's an options trade with different leg. One side was exercised before the other and will show the large discrepancy until you or the broker executes the other side.
Why do you muddle the issue with campaign finance reform? I strongly disagree with your views on that, and even though I agree on stopping mass surveillance I can't support your org.

As for money in politics - if bloomberg and hillary clinton don't proved that money doesn't just buy votes, I don't know what will.

Lastly, anonymous speech is important - you would think people arguing against mass surveillance would understand that.
I think you nailed it. All the consumer subscription apps I could think of offer in app purchase. While the apps that target businesses do not. It seems Apple is enforcing their rules to selectively target consumer oriented apps.

Which, from a consumer point of view I appreciate it. I like Apple subscriptions.

However, for the businesses selling the 30% cut is hard to stomach.
The software isn't banned in all of China yet though. Just organizations on the sanction list. So to retaliate in that way China would effectively be increasing the sanctions on themselves.

There's multiple competitors to matlab already that even some US schools use. It isn't as lopsided as Excel versus, uh... google sheets?

> problem is how wildly unevenly it is applied

This is one of my biggest frustrations with App Review.

It's easy to convince clients to budget for a few days exploratory work that might be rejected, but they're less inclined to do so with the possibility of an approval not being permanent, and then having to sink a lot more money into reworking that functionality at an indeterminate point in the future.

Sometimes you get stung because you're genuinely trying to slip something through that breaks the rules, but other times you get a reviewer with an axe to grind. One app I worked on was in the store for 18 months before they took issue with the way we'd implemented subscriptions. They were also not happy that there were links to Amazon, which if you clicked around for a bit, would take you to Prime Video or Amazon App Store.
Apple does not have a monopoly in the tablet market,
There's lots of android tablets and also Microsoft sells tablets.
90 per cent of phones sold are
android phones as they are cheaper, than any apple phone
Apple allows Netflix and Spotify apps on their store
Without taking a 30 per cent cut. The problem is if an app has in app subscriptions or
the app is not free apple gets a 30 per cent cut
Google has similar rules to the apple store,
It seems the rules are not
Always consistent,
on the apple store. Big company's like Spotify or netflix are not treated as
strictly as a small developer
with a few apps on the apple store. Apple is being investigated by the EU, to see
If the app store policy's are
reducing competition and innovation eg it makes its own music
And TV apps which compete with
Spotify and or video apps
In the store.
Only apple can use the iPhone nfc chip to pay for goods in stores
Maybe we would have more completion in apps if there
Were more mobile platforms,
Other than android and apple Ios
So it's up to the regulators
to make sure that consumers
and devs are not overcharged
or innovation is blocked by
2 company's who control the
Mobile app marketplace
Window load events fail to fire this way among other likely problems. You'd have to specifically design around doing it, or do something else like put the whole page in an iframe with your video/music player staying floating outside, or put back inside when it's loaded.

> And not all browsers support basic features like Datepickers etc. (I'm looking at you Safari)

This is a real pet peeve of mine. Perhaps there is some good reason, but as far as I can tell date pickers work well in chrome and firefox, and not having one in safari means you need to add javascript to your page and/or do some nasty server side user agent sniffing stuff to try and make sense of dates.

> Now antifa is going to be all over the news for being an alleged terrorist group regardless of its validity

But they obviously are a violent anarchist group causing violence, riots, mayhem (and terror?) for their political opponents, regardless of logo used.

This part isn’t news. This probably the most widely known fact known about ANTIFA worldwide, and has been for years. It’s literally their raison d'être.

Clearly they operate unlawfully. If they are a “terrorist” organisation though, that’s another debate.

Either way, if ANTIFA is your friend or ally, I would consider that a PR problem you’ll need to address sooner rather than later.

ANTIFA is not cool.
> Or propaganda

Says a Westerner whose entire ration of "news" also consists of propaganda.
Why do you think they always offer a hushed discount for cash?

FWIW, I'm not sure I've ever actually encountered that in my entire life. It seems like one of those folk tales governments tell when they want to get more money out of a group who are an easy target. After all, can you prove you only charged that nice couple what you said on your accounts for fitting out their new bathroom, Mr Plumber?

A professional tradesman invoices after and then accepts a bank transfer.

Sure, and when we've had tradesmen in that's almost always what we've done too.

But again, in my entire life, I don't think I've ever received a paper invoice from a cleaner, or a gardener, or a neighbour's teenager who was childminding, or the friendly retiree around the corner who is an ace at fixing bikes. Not unless they were working through an agency and it was the agency handling the billing, anyway. Not everything is big enough and formal enough to need invoicing and professional payment tools. Normal people still pay for plenty of stuff with cash around here. Just not usually in shops (online or bricks 'n' mortar) or for big things.
EDIT: This post is angry. I say my words more clearly below.

> living a better life today than someone of your station would have lived 300 years ago

> We (as human consumers) never had it so good

You couldn't possibly understand how much better community and and a sense purpose is to the life we're living. The fact that we become more and more isolated, more and more lied to, more and more defeated and yet: you think gimmicky material goods is what defines quality of life.. it's depressing.

I've seen so many people of your stance see how wrong they are the moment they find community, but I've never seen a person lose community and feel like money could replace it.

FURTHER! WHAT THE FUCK!? WHY IS ANY OF THIS NECESSARY TO GET THESE GOODS!?

Can you really not imagine a world where we make technological progress without doing horrible things?! How fucking much cool-aid have you drank!?
I doubt ethnicity was the driving factor behind it, as much as growing NATO influence over Ukraine, in the years leading up to the conflict.

Russia does not want to lose its warm-water ports, or to be bordered by hostile countries. If Mexico made serious noises about joining an alliance with China, we'd see regime change before the week were out.
It seems that most of the above either offer some features for free or offer in-app purchases:

* Spotify offers free tier

* Kindle doesn't require buying books, technically you can use it to read documents that you send to your free account

* Netflix and Youtube allow to subscribe and pay via app-store

I'm not sure about the rest, but it seems that even Netflix and Amazon follow the rules.
Because it's the real number. Every broker does this and they can't misrepresent the market or your account.

The issue is that some people don't understand how option trades work, in this case a credit spread with 2 legs of a trade. One side was exercised and would have been offset by the other side when the broker got around to it, but it's not incorrect data.

It's up to the trader to understand their trades.
No content here, just a signup page.
If there were 10,000 developers on the App Store, their yearly membership fees come to a total of $990,000.

That's pretty good revenue for troll/scam reduction.

Now do the same math for the actual number of active App Store devs.
Each to their own, I guess. We use Jira and Confluence at my org. I personally don't make use of the integrations between them all that much, but I find them painful to use on their own.
I agree that those are different, but I subconsciously read it as "need not be" and later assumed it was a mistype of that, not "needs not to be," as it's closer to the former than the latter.
Advice: don't make everything slow as shit please. Note, this most likely means writing your own trim left function and not depending on zillions of libraries. If you can't write something as simple as this, please don't! Just output a static web-page that loads ultra fast. Thanks young web developers!
The developer agreement states that you're only allowed to sideload apps that you're responsible for developing yourself. Maybe if it's open source you could make an argument for that being allowed, but it's not a general purpose install path for consumers.
The big problem with Apple and Nintendo is that compared to other companies, they don't have enough rules for app submission written out, and that many of the rules are vague enough to be subject to individual interpretation. The end result is chaos.
You've got to buy things that you'll eat anyway - like canned beans, etc, and use them and replace them regularly.
Thanks, this didn't even occur to me.

I don't quite follow - if low quality media is everywhere, doesn't high quality media stand out?

Perhaps you're saying that so much low quality media drowns out the high quality media - such that it can't be found. The ratio is off, right?
Note, that after this period (536-600), there were huge swaths of Europe that was depopulated, and or decimated, and this enabled major migration movements...

Eg. After this period, in the early 600's, Slavic tribes migrated south, all the way to Greece/Egean sea, but eventually were pushed back to current/modern areas....

So, these events contributed heavily to even modern borders and some events....

I know, there are some weird post-modernist movement to say 'dark ages were not that bad', but indeed, these were some of the darkest/harshest time in our recorded history....

The volcano being in Iceland, could explain on why Britain was one of the harshest hit areas by the dark ages....
Aaaah, the Power ISA... If you want to "rotate left immediate speculatively if condition matches additionally push sign bit on the stack and zero extend the next register unless it has an odd value", this is the most likely architecture to do that for you ;-) At least its the one I most often need to take a look at the manual what slxwimzus (or something like that) exactly does when looking at disassembly. Of course luckily most compilers don't do the freaky stuff, so I'm probably quite lucky :)
As usual, LWN has a great article on it that is much more approachable than raw LKML:

https://lwn.net/Articles/821817/
evan_ is thinking in terms of "What would it cost to get a bunch of depressed FAANG engineers to code this as part of their day job?", and you're thinking in terms of "How many packages of instant ramen will a motivated entrepreneur have to eat while he codes this in his parents' basement?"

Both valid perspectives IMO.
> We refuse to hand over your private information unless the company requesting it has established a legal right to it.

Why do you think a company should betray its users without so much as a warrant?
I meant “difficult” strategically, not morally, from the perspective of Zuckerberg.

I agree with you that the answer to the moral question is obvious, but clearly Zuckerberg is not considering morality in his decision making.

In fact, he is quite the Machiavellian executive. So my comment was that even in that amoral mindset he’s in a difficult spot.
There's a big overlap. Recent research shows that 80% of people on the autism spectrum also have adhd, and 50% of people with adhd also are on the autism spectrum.
Every broker shows the same thing. Sometimes the legs are exercised on different days leading to the large discrepancy until the other side is used to offset. It's ultimately up to the trader to understand their trades.

> Reason for most of these is the optimiser.

Well, optimiser as currently implemented, tying only one plan to each uniqe SQL text.

There is nothing, in principle, preventing an implementation that produces multiple plans based on the parameter values. This would be useful not just for "advanced" parametrization I mentioned above, but also for simpler cases such as when a parameter being NULL could be handled via a different access path compared to non-NULL.

> if t1 and t2 are structurally identical, you should not usually be splitting them into 2 tables

Depends on constraints. For example, you might have two structurally same tables that reference (or are referenced by) different tables.
I also feel that it’s useful to take a pragmatic perspective on what an init system must cover. As someone who uses linux on the laptop, everything from boot to getting to a usable desktop is part of the “init” as far as I’m concerned. And I love the fact that there is a unified orchestration of all the necessary details (hardware devices, network connections, etc/whatever) to get me to a nice working environment fast. I don’t see what is there to complain about that!

Also, I find it strange how folks randomly get hung up on “Unix philosophy” without consistency, or regard for relevance (Per the Unix philosophy, you should not be checking email on a browser meant for webpages). It’s not like Unix is some pinnacle of system design. It was a good thing for 50 years ago, but our computers and our needs have evolved significantly since then.
> The real reason to use telegram is that it's miles away the best messenging program out there.

That, and it's not Facebook-owned, a company which has a very detailed track record of lying and abusing private information.

Telegram as a Messenger/WhatsApp replacement for the general public is solid gold, even if state security agencies were able to peek in it.

It all depends on your threat model for a given information exchange you're going to have and who you consider to be your adversary.

A little late in the game, but they're a brand I would hold in higher regard than 99% of the other providers out there. I believe that a lot of people misunderstand what exactly a VPN is and what scenarios it offers benefits of use in. I personally host my own VPN on a lowendspirit server [1] for when I'm on an untrusted WiFi network or I need to have an IP in the US (it comes in handy as a US citizen living abroad). I also use a VPN sometimes when I have a dev server (hosted on the server itself) that I'm developing/testing on since being on the same network as the server makes things easier, e.g. having a container with an API bound to the VPN network so that I can access it easily and without it being public facing.

Of course there's also the shady side of VPN use. If you're doing that it might be beneficial to use the VPN within a VM with strict firewall rules, i.e. only allow incoming/outgoing to/from the VPN. Doing so allows you to only send the traffic you want to over the VPN, thus reducing your exposure to any nefarious data collection that the provider might be doing.

You're simply wrong, and we will continue to tell you things YOU don't want to hear.

Replacing fossil fuels with renewables is altogether more practical and economical than doing so with a combination of new nuclear and renewables. This wasn't true even ten years ago, but the costs of renewables have fallen so fast that it's now the case. At the same time, the supposed "Nuclear Renaissance" was revealed to be an illusion. Nuclear is now a dead technology walking. And renewables (and associated technologies like batteries and electrolyzers) continue to show cost declines at a rate nuclear could only dream of.

BTW, summarize the argument in the video. I don't waste my time watching video links.
Google Serverless Gripes

Maybe I'm being dumb (I'm a sysadmin, not a developer) but wouldn't you just shift those API calls to the server rendering the page rather than the browser?
Google does charge for additional Gmail storage in the form of Google One.
I would say that example breaks the rules, I don't know how popular it is - we need to be realistic about how often an App store with millions of apps is going to miss something.
Google allows sideloading apps, I can go to a website, download an app without going near the play store.
Apple does not allow apps to be installed without going to

I was very confused by the title. I thought it was a blog post that implied that CockroachDB was in-use at Twitch, but it's actually a Twitch channel from which viewers can play with CockroachDB (still cool).
As games are running both on AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, but CUDA is NVIDIA only (and supported by lots of languages and libraries), as a programmer I don't see how AMD could disrupt NVIDIA's developer friendliness/lock in (unless AMD provides a great CUDA implementation).
Ireland's feuds aren't sectarian, they're ethno-nationalist. We call them "Protestants" and "Catholics," but really what those names mean are "the group in Ulster and especially in Belfast, whose ancestors colonized the land for England, and a few who cooperated with them" and "the rest of the country whose ancestors lost their war and had to put up with being second class citizens oppressed by the British military and police well into the twentieth century."

And even if the British monarch is a figurehead today, the legacy of violence goes back to the Tudors.
Bitmap fonts look crisp and clear at small sizes. I find I enjoy them much more than a lot of the fonts in the article. Try out Terminus or Tewi at 9pt if you're curious. They make Fira Code and Inconsolata look blurry by comparison.

I recently changed my terminal emulator from Termite to Alacritty because Pango broke bitmap fonts, and Termite uses Pango. Unfortunately several other things I use are still using Pango, and I've had to switch to subpar fonts in waybar and a few other spots.

We've been outsourcing all kinds of low and high tech manufacturing to China for decades. Is it a surprise that there are two or three generations of people there who learned the ins and outs of advanced technologies, some of who eventually moved from building to designing their own?
They seem to fall under the “reader app” exception that I understand as basically consumption of licensed works such as movies, songs, books.

My guess is that those categories just don’t have the margins to support a 30% cut without charging more then other platforms.
An email service, dating all or games are basically arbitrary prices where every sale is making some money for the company. The store cut is annoying, but basically it’s still revenue.
> A policy of funding a domestic trial of anything which anyone else is trying anywhere in the world wouldn't be crazy, actually.

It seems rather crazy to me, but perhaps more importantly, it is a strategy that - implemented literally - would result in the US leadership being very easily led by others "anywhere in the world" in matters of drug research, a situation which would be very amenable to manipulation for profit.

That's obviously wrong. We want the US leadership to be very easily led by Fox News personalities and whatever is popping on Twitter.

Comments are golden, by people who lived in the houses, or children of the architect who built one of them.
Depends on what you build. I find a REST server + client side rendered frontend quite simpler to grok than a server side rendered page. Mostly because the separation between UI and data is really clear and all of the CLI interfacing comes free as well. There is certainly a way to split this well with SSR, but it's also easier to fall into the trap of tightly coupling the parts.
