Where you're talking about TCP, then the only state aware devices in the path are usually stateful firewalls close to the beginning and end of the path. I can't see this causing major issues as firewalls don't usually act on options unless specifically configured, seeing that they don't change the fundamentals of TCP flow (ie. flags, seqs and acks). The option but are usually just flags for signalling between the two endpoints.

It would help to look at the situation of the Android marketplace in China. As we all know Google Play Store isn't available in China, so has app distribution been decentralized and innovative in China? Is there a benefit?

The answer is of course no. You have the same Chinese Big Tech dominating, like Tencent or Qihoo. You have tech companies that have nothing to do with apps, but make app stores nonetheless just because they can. You still have app stores operated by carriers (China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom). And then you have small app stores that struggle to survive, and even then usually resorting to unscrupulous measures that would be utterly unacceptable elsewhere.

Does this approach of multiple app stores benefit app developers? I don't think so. Developers would rather have one single store and their rules and requirements to deal with. So much so that there are now intermediaries in China whose job is to get apps distributed on multiple stores so that developers don't have to worry about it. It's just become another middleman that eats into the profits. Or they decide app distribution is so difficult that they make their app a simple web view wrapper, and lose many benefits of a native app like tighter integration with the rest of the system.

Does this help consumers? I'm afraid not either. Do you really want consumers to remember which store they downloaded an app from? Not to mention app stores overwriting apps downloaded by other app stores, a dark pattern to boost their own numbers, or an app store forcibly silencing the update notification from a competing app store, etc.

So what are the innovations you are expecting?
> that doesn’t help Apple’s image as it’s slowly crawling out of the laptop keyboard fiasco and this string of pretty flaky macos versions

You make it sound almost like they aren’t the richest and still among the fastest growing tech companies.
Ironically it was Steve Jobs who announced No SDK web apps as primary model for app delivery in iPhone and later when he realised it could mint money; native apps via App store became de facto.

Initial set of iPhone app developers made a whole lot of money from App store, if not money they scaled their business to new heights - Whatsapp, Instagram, Snapchat etc. Since android was late to catch up in the developed economy, Apple got away with its ridiculous monopolistic practices with Appstore.

But now times have changed, people care more about apps than the platform they run on e.g. Spotify. WhatsApp on KaiOS on a single device in a single country(albeit large population) made that OS a significant player in the smartphone ecosystem - a feat which even Microsoft failed to achieve; that explains the importance of apps over the platform currently.

I think Apple might showcase the support for PWA in Safari as a way to defend its anti-trust litigations in the future. Although I personally want the PWA to succeed as it's the only way pure Linux smartphone ecosystem could capture market i.e. it's more important to break the smartphone duopoly than to break the app store monopoly (IMO), for security and sanity of mobile computing.

“Upon re-evaluation, we found that your app is not in compliance”
I built a company in this space, so take my feedback with grain of salt.

Your comment is not correct though.

1) licensing doesn't require them to have the system in place. In fact, YouTube created the system to avoid lawsuits and is imposing it on rightsholders.

2) EUCD is not yet active. It will start 6/7/2021. CID works this way for last 12 years.

Also what you call "best practices" is called "best effort" and is related to licensing not technology. In fact the law explicitly states that filtering technology is not required.

99% of problems on YouTube are caused by the way their system is setup not by the technology itself. For instance, if single rightsholder claims 10s of content in 19 hour video, they get 100% of all money generated by the content. That has nothing to do with any deal nor the technology.

YouTube doesn't want to be in middle of the disputes, so gives the responsibility in hands of rightsholders. That's changing with the EUCD which explicitly requires the platforms to be the arbiter.

YouTube also allows only 9,000 companies and individuals to have access to what they call manual claiming, which allows them manually "overwrite" the system and produces situations like these.

There is so much more. But the problem is truly with YouTube's setup, not the technology they developed, which is quite ok.

Bugger: Maybe the real state secret is spies aren't good at their jobs (2013)
If you’re saying why we don’t have multiple app stores run by multiple people and even self hosted apps then I can help add an answer.

It was exactly like this before Android and iPhone. I had a Nokia E71 and before that a Sony Walkman phone. They could run J2ME apps and games and you could download from a site called getjar.com and others. Nokia Symbian could run more powerful native apps - I wrote one myself.

They all sucked. Most of the apps were full of malware and you never knew which one would lock up your phone, infect your phone, or upload all your data to somewhere.

AppStore and Playstore exist for the same reason that CA certificates exist - most people are good but some are terrible and they damage the ecosystem. For CA we have LetsEncrypt now. But phones are way more complex than that. Most of the phone stack is thankless but highly specialized work - you won’t get that for free in volume anytime soon.

It’s more complicated because people expect the latest phones. Older generation mobile technology is worthless right now. Cutting edge technology needs investment and has substantial market. This market is also winner takes all. There is maybe place for 3 players but not anymore in an efficient, commodity market that’s also capex heavy.

This is the point of view of a marketer that thinks that the solution should be to regulate ALL MARKETPLACES, or to require an independent entity to be the referee/regulator.

I think most people disregard what conditioning does to human behavior.

Conditioning takes a long time and consistency, and you have OS's that funneled users during YEARS of usage to use what they provided as a way to find and install applications.

Apple is an extreme of enforcing the App store, but for Android you could install other appstores/distributors, hell manufacturers tried this (Samsung, Huawei, and many others) to bring their proprietary solutions. Yet it didn't scratch the Playstore marketshare. Why is that? I think it's because for a long time, the Playstore was the only solution and that was just enough time to be established for users as well as developers.

Why, on the other hand, for Windows people don't gravitate towards windows store?

Here I think it's because windows had apps for their OS being sold from shelves on shops, given away as demos on magazines, to .exe files you could download from the web, or that could be transfered by your neighbor via Floppy/CD/USB Stick. People are used to look for Windows Apps in a plethora of distribution channels. Hell people still factored the possibility of having virus on the apps according to the distribution channel.

If you look at MacOS, people are conditioned to look at one place - and it doesn't take too long of usage to achieve this.

People are lazy, in a good way. We want the most effective way to achieve our goals, with the right conditioning it becomes extremely hard to shift.
The why people become incompetent at work
A lot of it depends on whether or not the content you're delivering is a static file, or if you're transcoding something. When its a static file, your job is "easier" in that you can use sendfile, and (with hardware kTLS offload) avoid having the CPU touch any data being sent (the Netflix case). When you have a gigantic long tail, and are transcoding a lot of traffic, then optimizations like sendfile and kTLS hardware offload matter a lot less. I imagine Google falls more on one side of the spectrum, and we fall on the other.

I think the difference is that in this context it’s at least as much about what the other players are doing as the way the game actually works. Learning how to operate within the new rules is still just part of the game. Learning how to counter those strategies when your opponents adopt then would be considered the metagame. And sometimes the meta changes not due to changes in the rules, but simply because someone has an innovation in strategy or tactics which starts to be adopted en masse. Then someone figures out how to counter that and the cycle continues.
I understand your frustration. But the only fact that matters is that marginalized people face various levels of racism every day. This naming issue is a small, unintentional matter–I don't believe _anyone_ is saying otherwise. But some people don't get a chance to dive into etymology before making the connection with slavery.

I'm thinking renaming isn't so much the important bit, but it is an easy first step: what real, impactful changes can we as technologists make happen next?

Our design team has churned off of all prior products and now uses Figma. I've consistently been impressed by the degree to which Figma appears to be completely trouncing InVision / Sketch / others with a superlative product.

The standard trend in enterprise software is towards oligopoly, with a few strong incumbents that struggle to actually kill one another as their products converge over time. Most enterprise businesses focus primarily on sales/marketing as they grow, rather than doubling down on a product that can kill incumbents. The fact that Figma has done both is really impressive and as an enterprise product head definitely something that I admire.
Your impression isn’t wrong, it is a jurisdictional issue, but let’s say you are right generally; however, it’s law so:

Consider small claims handle most evictions, your impression would be right an eviction isn’t an “injunction”, but what is an eviction in practice if not an enjoining the tenant from continued possession and an order to vacate a property.

This case might just seek relief in the form of a monetary judgement In the complaint, but in practice what is that judgement but an injunction/order for google to stop any continued act causing damages.

As I noted at pretrial the parties are encouraged by the court to settle and usually at pretrial/trail the parties do a mandatory mediation (again that is jurisdictional but either way statistically Over 90% of cases will settle). In practice these settlement agreements will typically reflect additional terms such as agreement to stop engaging in X or otherwise continuing any act that damages the party as outlined in the complaint, and terms denying admission for any of the claims as outlined in the complaint.

In practice image it playing out where the damaged party here gets an award for monetary damages against google and Google pays but they allow the impersonating “business” on google maps to continue to Impersonate the the damaged party by associating the website/marks with the impersonating business. Google may play the nameless, faceless corporation with no decision makers, but to don’t let them fool you. I personally imagine this thread hitting the front page Here gets google to do something.

> consumers allow the behaviour by largely being ignorant about their own nutrition.

This idea that "consumers allow the behavior" is a very pernicious one - it's common in the context of global warming too ("if only people stopped driving their car and started caring about the planet!").

It's an utter reversion of causality. People are going to do whatever makes the most sense given their own context, and if you're struggling time and money wise to take care of your family in a nutritional desert [0], and the only jobs you can get require you to drive an hour a day, then of course you're going to be buying frozen waffles at Walmart and Big Mac takeout for your kids and driving your car around. Not to mention the billions of dollars spent on advertising to manipulate people - what do you want citizens to do, when their own educational system fails to teach them the most basic literacy/numerical skills? [1]

We need to be angry at governments and companies, not people doing what they can to merely get by.

In the mid-80's I had a friend who was blind. He wanted to study computers, so the state bought him an Amiga 1000 because it has built-in speech capabilities.

But the accessory he seemed to use the most was a device that sat above the keyboard that was an array of maybe 200x50 pins that moved in and out. He could use it as a window to scroll around the display (I think it followed the mouse pointer) and use his fingers to "see" the menu bars and controls, etc... It was pretty cool. A little noisy, but not as noisy as a dot matrix printer of the time.

He also had a self-contained DOS computer with no screen that had an input keyboard like a stenographer's keyboard. It was about the size of a paperback book, and the output was voice-only. I thought it was neat, but he didn't like it because it was from Australia, and the combination of the crude voice synthesis of the time, and a heavy Australian accent made it hard to understand. I thought it was cool for the very same reason.
The image also has a cat.
When I lived alone I ate a lot of convenience food and pre-made sauces and such, then I moved in with my partner and she cooks everything from scratch (she's same age as me and Hungarian so she grew up under communism-lite where having your own animals and veg/fruit gardens was common if you lived in the country).

Honestly I'd forgotten how good basic food tastes when it's cooked fresh - she makes simple things like mashed potato amazing and she bakes a lot as well - she wastes no food, left-overs are used up as lunch or frozen.

The really stupid part of all this from my point of view was that our combined food bill from raw ingredients is about the same as what I was paying living alone.
Okay, let me take a stab at it.

Linking health care directly to employment means that people CANNOT take off work if they're sick. This is dangerous in normal times. In a pandemic, this means that businesses shutting down isn't just an economic crisis, it's also a health care crisis.

The idea of individual responsibility for group problems, like a pandemic, leads to actors predictably behaving selfishly (staying open, no masks, going to work) -- it's predictable and preventable by socializing the responsibility.

And secondarily, because the US government is incompetent and has been for years does not mean that government, in general, is a failure.

I highly recommend reading the book. It's probably not what you expect. He makes a compelling case that we should consider the opposite of your question: does letting kids wander aimlessly stifle them?

He also advocates for educational pluralism. You should be free to explore your question with your children.

There are different forms of 527s. We are specifically a 527 that supports/opposes more than one Federal candidate, is not a segregated fund or party committee, is not a Lobbyist/Registrant PAC, and is not a Leadership PAC. (On FEC form 1 this is box (f) under section 5)

Under this, the guidance I've been given is that we can publicly support and oppose candidates, make unlimited independent expenditures and we can raise funds in unlimited amounts. The primary restriction is that we can not use those funds to make contributions, whether direct, in-kind, or via coordinated communications, to federal candidates or committees. Our interpretation of that is we can run ads like these as long as we don't coordinate those ads directly with a campaign.

The FEC has a support line for getting guidance on campaign finance law. I've taken the guidance we've been given and run it through them. The FEC indicated we were in the clear. That being said, I'll call back Monday morning when they are open and ask your specific question to make sure our green light isn't a result of how I worded my questions.
I would consider a soldered joint a bit of a different class of joint serving a different purpose. They are more physically durable, carry higher currents, and resistant to corrosion interrupting the link.

A twist or knotted joint is obviously fast and simple. But in the wrong environment it will degrade quickly. Are you laying a charge to be blown in five minutes, or laying buried communication lines to use for six months?
Thanks. I noticed that most of my comments were invisible, but with a few seemingly random ones getting through. I assumed it was a matter of time before restrictions were lifted on my account.
As a matter of preference America values commerce over life. The slow response is because in general America is trading lives for liberty. Essentially life is cheap. You might disagree with assessment and chalk up the bungled response to incompetence, but I don't think that makes sense in light of the reopening of public life as the virus spreading accelerates. We're still opting for this strategy now. And it might be the right decision for America. We'll just have to accept the loss of life as collateral damage. I don't agree, but I'm not making the decisions.
States are reopening based on the rate of infection. If there was more testing and better contact tracing earlier, these reopenings would've happened earlier. Which means less money needed to keep the economy from crashing.
> I don't understand what the problem is.

Is it that you don't understand what the problem is, or that it makes you uncomfortable to look at the problem? Let me phrase a few questions that help me think about what I think the problem is in a few ways:

- Do you think it's necessary or unnecessary for American regulations on advertising to exist?

- Do you think it ought to be punished for products to be packaged in a deceptive manner as long as it's theoretically possible to see the base information to make a determination about the product?

- Do you think that manufacturers that sell high purity goods can survive against those that diluted purity goods loaded with adulterants while concealing that and winning marketshare on volume?

> Another problem with the YT system (EUCD17) is that it is not a legal system.

You are misinformed. YT System has nothing to do with the EUCD17 which is not yet active. CID was built 12 years ago to get out of the Viacom lawsuit.

EUCD17 (or more precisely its implementations) are laws that you can actually sue under. They have concrete obligations (licensing, alternative dispute resolution, ...) and concrete penalties for misbehavior.

In fact, as it stands, YouTube's Content ID is not going to be complaint with the requirements of the EUCD17.
To be clear, I am not involved in the IPFS project and in fact don't like key aspects of the project and think it is doomed to long-term failure when it gets replaced by something better.

That said, the core and pretty fundamental limitation with BitTorrent, however, is that the swarms exist "per torrent", which kind of makes a non-starter for a general purpose filesystem?

As such, I don't quite disagree with what you'd like to see done, but that work should go in IPFS... like, trying to extend the way BitTorrent works "up" to something that works for this use case is going to involve a much more fundamental set of low-level changes than even the WebTorrent shift (which is where I'd argue "if only BitTorrent understood the value of working with existing browser-based systems and opening up powerful use cases they would understand that not doing this is like throwing away the round part of a wheel... etc." ;P WebTorrent is the future of BitTorrent as far as I'm concerned, and anything failing to embrace that is already kind of doomed?...) than the other direction, which is really just "go into IPFS and add a little adapter that lets it work with torrent files (at the fundamental loss of efficiency and awkward lack of resource sharing that such usage implies).

The willpower and genetic heritage of the poor and homeless isn't there. Most people at the very bottom are in that position because of mental or genetic problems.

Sadly it goes like this:
1) I see a word and it hurts my feelings
2) anything that hurts my feelings does me harm
3) we must prevent harm wherever possible
4) therefore you cannot say that word

Any question of how much harm is actually done, and whether that much harm is worth restricting speech, is never addressed. If you disagree you are called a bigot/homophobe /whatever who is silencing the voices of persons of color/gender/whatever and creating an unsafe environment. So you must lose your job and be cast out.
