You would use rcpu(1) which essentially imports the remote cpu. In other words the remote processor "sees" the local file structure/namespace.

9front is full of "free carrots". If you want a remote vpn, just import another servers /net ontop of your process namespace and you're all set.
The only time I've ever suffered from "stolen id", not even cards or accounts, was with an online porn company that sold the account in arrears to a collections agency. The agency even admitted they had nothing linking me to the transactions other than my name, but demanded I pay up. A stern letter fixed the problem from my end.
Digitization of national currencies [0] -- don't think cryptocurrencies, but rather a harmonized API for financial transactions. In particular, I expect this to drastically affect cross-border transactions by substantially lowering the bar to implementing them (as compared to SWIFT, for example) by whatever country gets there first, in the hope that their digital currency might replace the USD as de facto international reserve currency by virtue of ease of use.

Most of my MFA accounts allow me to download offline backup codes in case I lose access to the authenticator.
Obligatory privacy.com mention. Them or any other virtual card service is better than giving your actual card, especially with the Visa/MC "card update service" that gives companies your new card number if it's changed. I've only encountered a few instances where using a virtual card is blocked, such as for pay-as-you-go services (GCP and Azure, for instance).
If you can state such a statement and not understand his statement, you shouldn't comment in the first place :)
It’s their store, and they get to pick what’s in it. If you want stuff not available in that store, you need a new store. You own the phone, but you agreed to only load software on it from the one store, as it has been for the last decade.
Perhaps should look at a wider date range than 2010-2019 in order to determine patterns and magnitude. Perhaps should also consider totals that are net of environmental costs.
Don’t sell the concept short! Burning it all down is a pretty controversial opinion in its own right. Doubly because you have a majority of people who aren’t generally harmed by the status quo. I would be surprised if it wasn’t a controversial opinion. The amount of empathy currently being shown at the protests is unheard of.
"This is absolutely getting unwieldy to the point of being fucking ridiculous and unusable."

Agreed. The worst part, in my opinion, is the penchant of sites/providers to demand a phone number any phone number as an identity mechanism.

Which is to say, there is no way to tie this number I have just entered to my personal identity in any way, or to verify that it has any relationship with me ... but as long as I successfully enter any mobile number I pass with flying colors.
I think it would be ethical to charge a fee to distribute software. You can imagine a world where each upload to the App Store would cast say $100. But the issue people complain about is that they are forced to use Apple as a middleman for all their payments and that Apple charges exorbitant fees for this
Yeah, it’s a little like the Mafia used to do: give us a monthly payment or we’ll, ya know, make sure you’re of business.

And you’re defending that?

iOS and the Playstore do not respect equality. low tier publishers are treated completely different than the bigger ones.
if those stores would be real shoppingmalls they would have long be brought to court. Apple and Google play the game smart. consumers are happy and are not aware of the underlying ugliness of their business activities. smaller publishers / developers have a hard time making a voice against these unfair eco system aspects.
so far nothing is changing. the top charts of both the Playstore and iOS consists of apps which are best for the business models Google and iOS have slightly different business models. but in the end of the day it's all about advertising, data collections and IAPs.

Well surely it's a matter of degree (and also chronological trends) we're talking about here. My writing may not be perfectly clear but other commenters seem to understand my point, nuanced discussions may be difficult but not impossible if we're engaging in good faith.
I do think game consoles kind of deserve a pass [1], but okay, I can see where you're coming from with that.

Why Steam? No one ever has to use Steam--you can install whatever you want on your PC. Steam isn't even installed by default in 99% of cases.

This is a really ambiguous, unusual, and (in my opinion) inappropriate use of the term "customer acquisition".

The App Store is a marketplace that connects people developing for a platform (iOS) to customers using devices compatible with that platform. It is also the only marketplace that does this. In this way, it is best thought of as a (monopolistic) distribution channel.
> 2) Never be exposed to Apps that havn't been vetted by a trustworthy party (in this case Apple)

My understanding is that neither major mobile app store has done a great job of vetting.
If you make your own torrent files, how to prevent it accidentally share with the world? Is there anything in the torrent files that can prevent this? (Program and configuration can make mistake.)

> The only requirement is long-lives identities. Create a new identity anytime you want; it’s just that no veteran users will see anything you post until you establish a long track record of reasoned debate, and work yourself through clusters with logarithmic aging baskets, until you finally “graduate” to being seen by people of substance in your target audience. And, you can easily move yourself out again, by a few hot-headed off-the-cuff remarks. Welcome to the real world! Actions have consequences.

And? None of this changes the fact that without Section 230 protections, companies are dead. There's simply no way to reliably prevent any and all illegal content from being posted. Sites like HN could not exist. There's no way Paul Graham, or whoever actually owns HN, is going to risk criminal charges to keep the forum running.

> It is unlikely that you will be able to escape from the requirement to give up metadata on users to the FBI — just like the phone company.

Giving metadata to law enforcement never had anything to do with Section 230. All section 230 says is, people hosting content are not liable for content created by other people.

> Removal of section 230 for companies that have proven themselves unworthy by clearly political editing of users posting feeds deserve what they’re going to get, when they lose these protections, in my opinion.

> If they want to run an opinionated newspaper, then they’ve chosen the heavy lifting required to ensure no rando publishes an illegal article. Tough beans.

So it's not a blanket removal. It's a targeted removal of section 230 protections from sites that are perceived to have biased moderation.

This is even worse. Now politicians can go to Facebook or YouTube and say, "hey, you better promote positive content about me and negative content about my opponents or I'm going to strip your Section 230 protections." Such a change to Section 230 likely won't lead to less biased sites, it'll lead to even more biased sites as they lick the boots of politicians to keep their protections. There's nothing stopping a government from claiming that k-clusters are biased. This mechanism of some sites getting liability protections and others not getting them is rife for abuse.
Apple is certainly an illegal monopoly for not allowing other game/app stores on its handheld devices and dictating the terms and conditions for developers. And hiding behind the DMCA to ban circumvention tools for its intrusive DRM. And competing against its own third-party developers. Bring on the anti-trust lawsuits!

Fortunately we don't have to patronize Apple's evil monopoly on handheld gaming and game/app stores anymore. As for me, I'll go back to playing Animal Crossing, which I bought on Nintendo's eShop on my Nintendo Switch! (Then I'll maybe I'll lay down some tracks with Korg Gadget and write some code in SmileBASIC. Maybe I'll buy some DLC for my favorite games also - all from the Nintendo eShop, naturally.)

Taxes are paid by the consumer. Ideally developers should price things based on how much revenue they want per transaction, and have the 30% fee shown to the user.

If that were the case, there would be nothing unethical about a 30% tax nor a 90% tax.

Therefore, it’s not the size that’s the problem, but the fact that the tax isn’t communicated to the consumer, and also that Apple wants you to charge the same price in-app as elsewhere (though I’m not sure if that part is enforced)
> I guess I was holding out for the (highly unlikely) possibility of an asymptotic limit or something similar. It just seemed to be rooted more in reality than most of string theory/LQG. Of course, that could be my bias towards novelty!

I totally understand! I was quite excited about the Amplituhedron, too, when I first read about it!
{Google, Apple, Steam, etc} all do this with their walled gardens. It's sad, but it's not unique.

Perhaps if there were way to make the rules more programmatic and less ambiguous, these might be easier to resolve (like writing code to fulfill unit tests). But I suppose it probably still gets evaluated by humans on a subjective judgement, even if there is an objective rubric for most of the requirements.
Ask HN: Why not use Godot for cross platform apps. Proof of concept in comments
That's true :D
Whoops. My bad with the math. systemd is a bunch of purpose-built libraries though so I don't follow your reasoning. In fact, by comparison you should have more of a problem with the Linux kernel - 28 million lines of code in largely a single executable.

The init binary of systemd itself is ~70k if my math is correct & still has a much richer feature set.

I don't know what init.d shell scripts you've been looking at but my experience has not been as pleasant. Also, if you as an end user are looking at init scripts there's something massively wrong with the init system. Never heard of Ganglia but they seem to be on github. Have you filed a ticket with them? Have you messaged them on whatever forum/IRC the devs hang out on with your issue?
Generally, subcultures. If you know about it now, you've already missed it.

Specifically, post-covid personal reckonings and a desire for the essential, remote work causing an upper-middle flight from cities and a change in business culture that advantages agile and literate workers, sadly more political polarization with popular reaction only just beginning, a milennial demographic baby bust, a wave of cultural nostalgia, privacy and anonymity as a super-luxury, a weird VC boom as sidelined cash looks for tangible assets, universal basic income experiments and disposable income for the previously poor who buy aspirational goods, late middle aged GenX getting boomer property and cash inheritances, post-covid restaurant and service business reboot after prior ones went out of business as someone has to serve the demand.

Those are the basic ones.
Well pointed out, although critics will say, "it is not a bug, it's a feature", e.g. "walled garden life".
Imagine if you bought a Microsoft Surface and you could only use the Windows Store to download apps on your device.. People would be outraged, but since it's Apple it is "expected"...

Hint, if it is expected, that doesn't mean it's still ok..
Yeah I think we can draw a bit of a line from they were a major game not on the Play Store and now they're a major game on the Play Store - my guess is barely anyone sideloaded it.
For the NYT, disabling JavaScript with eg the NoScript extension is sufficient to read the article without the paywall.
Not sure if I agree with the analogy. The figure I often seen thrown out is that PID control in one form or another is used for something like 90%+ of all controllers found in the wild. And they can usually be made to work very well for whatever problem you have.
> I know what I signed up for. Why should I feel entitled to anything else?

It's interesting you'd say that because it's actually not true (I am not accusing you of lying at all - I take your statement at face value!)

What I mean is the following:

When I buy a phone - no matter the maker - I have deep within me a default assumption that if I want some app, some provider, some service, some feature, on my phone - that it will be, that it can be, and if someone thinks it up it'll be there shortly. I DO NOT assume that because Apple wants to steal people's work, some apps will never appear there.

Do you remember the early days of the app store and the saying "There's an app for that" (usually referring to things like fart generators and TV quotes).

Nowadays you'd NEVER think to say such a thing because Apple is ensuring it cannot be true - and more and more developers and platforms are choosing not to use it.

It's pretty plainly clear to me that Apple ONLY wants large, rich, well-known companies publishing apps; they grudgingly publish apps for small or individual developers, but really deep down wish they didn't have to.

Stuff like what we are seeing now with Hey is their endgame to finally get everyone except their exclusive club off the list.

I've always wondered about the (hidden) externalities of fossil fuel production. They are probably not all enumerated.

How much energy does it take to produce an an oil tanker, to create an oil refinery, an oil well, a pipeline, a gas station and a car?

I'll bet natural gas might be cleaner if the energy is generated near the natural gas source.
After 20+ years writing code, I’ve learned that you need to be able to move on from the code you’ve written. I’ve thrown away so much code. There are features and entire apps that I’ve had to throw away. And I’m perfectly ok with that. Most of it, I was paid for. Good. We’re even. Some I wasn’t. That’s ok. I learned.
Could somebody please explain this to me? I'm uncertain what this website is trying to demonstrate?

Apps asking for signup first?

I feel out of the loop. Apologies.
The federal government had no need to surveil its citizens in addition to the thousands of police officers and helicopters and drones at a city and state level.

It also shows such a signal of prioritization: Why isn't the federal government protecting its citizens from bad police officers? Why did it take three weeks of peaceful demonstrations (and some violence) to get any attention to this?
> You’ll see first hand that poor people aren’t stupid when it comes to how they spend their money and they aren’t making irrational financial choices.

My father would work with the insolvent privates making a budget for them to get them on a sound basis. They rejected his help 100%.

My accounting teacher would explain how compound interest worked to the car buyers, and they accused him of trying to cheat them.

The Frontline episode shows they were making poor investment decisions.

And lastly, buying lottery tickets doesn't auger financial judgement.

> in the exceedingly unlikely event that you are as skilled financially as you believe yourself to be

At least I've never bought a lottery ticket, only lost pocket change in Vegas, and only buy cars I can pay cash for, so there's that :-)

> you should be sharing your knowledge far and wide with those in need

There are plenty of excellent books on the topic, nothing I can add to that. "The Millionaire Next Door" is a good one if you're interested.
I am amazed how many people on HN are defending Apple. I had the naive assumption that my fellow tech savvy would denounce this. The comments here are eye-opening.

It is as if a lot of people just don’t see or don’t care about monopoly or monopolistic behavior. The product is great, Apple is has the highest market cap of any company in the world, it’s founder has god-like status. What’s the problem?
Well, I appreciate that point. But the question is also whether the underlying activity or thing being produced gives benefit to how many people.

Because, as has been pointed out in the past, you could pay people to simply dig holes in the ground and have others fill them in, which would equally create work and productivity. But was it more worthwhile and beneficial than other ways the money could be spent?
But why is the “App Store” the distribution channel and not the device itself? I mean Apple would be within their right to just not allow 3rd party apps at all on their devices so why is it weird that they take a cut from anyone who wants to set up a booth on their land?

Like it feels wrong to punish a company for not closing their platform like consoles do to any only working with a few select partners.
Depends on whether the missing variable is correlated with the beta hats you care about ;-)
Harry's razors are sold at Target, and they do a subscription service for razor blades.

N-gon grids don't make sense for N other than 3, 4, and 6 [1]. N=4 is easy, N=6 is in the OP. I suspect one could find a similar "css trick" for N=3.

That's a common meme of the last 40.000 years. Olders love criticizing younger generations. Don't worry it happens in urban areas, in the jungle and at kings court.

Human nature, my elders criticized my 30 years ago, and now I do the same.

I'm quite sure Phillip II also complained about the foolines of his son Alexander, even when he was tutored by Aristotle.

In brief, elders complains of youngers, but the truth is the world progress with each generation. Try to left a better world than the one you have encountered, it still has some nasty bugs to resolve.
The good ones are indeed pretty good filters. I'm not smart enough nor free enough to verify that a study is good, is important, is free of errors -- and so I benefit from the service provided by, say, Nature Photonics in knowing that whatever I'm reading is important, significant in some manner, and interesting.

Good journals have a high bar for writing and diagrams. In order to understand things, it helps that they're communicated clearly. You're likely not going to find incomprehensible poorly written text or hard-to-understand figures in Science or Cell journal.

As an example, I encourage you right now to go to https://science.sciencemag.org/ to see their coverage of covid-19. You'll get better cutting-edge information and perspective on the issue than anywhere else.
WikiLeaks Files
You're catching some flak here, but I think it's a fair point. It says "free", but all you get for free is... an icon on your home page and a login screen.

Apple could solve this by allowing a "Free, account required" descriptor/category for Netflix/Dropbox/etc/etc.

So "Free" is a lie, but one many other apps have used beforehand.
That’s a different argument, not related to the current issue.
I check my loading speed every time I change the site because my project promotes web best practices and I want to lead by example. :)

https://www.checkbot.io/

The whole page is about 0.1MB transferred and should render in about 0.5s on desktop.

The basic tricks used: It's a static site (so no SPA issues), uses HTTP/2, uses a CDN, the big header screenshot is an inlined SVG image so it's small + loads super fast + has high detail, blocking JavaScript isn't required for displaying anything, small CSS footprint, CSS is inlined into the page header and self-hosted fonts that don't block page rendering while they load.

> Amazon said that they lose 1% in checkouts for every 0.1 seconds of latency on their pages

These statistics would be highly dependent on the type of website I imagine. If you were trying to buy a product from a website where you knew you could only buy it from that website you're going to be much more patient for example.

Everyone likes a fast website though.
That's the point: they don't have resources to have roads like in the West, and they decided to be open about doing it differently.

I think Apple is about to enter a multi-year anti-trust ordeal as Microsoft and other companies have before.

Ironic that they used to be the small guy fighting against IBM, and now they're the big guy pushing their "largest company in the world" status around.
Yeah. A huge percentage of the stuff marketed to children and teens is pretty unethical IMO. The thing is, those are cheap to produce and have huge margins, so that's what everyone tries to make.

It's less risky to develop some skinner box slot machine because you aren't out much investment if it gets rejected. Plus, the digital goods are pulled from thin air, so anything you sell is pure profit.

Contrast that with a real app that provides a valuable service with backend costs and a subscription fee. There's a lot more investment to build an app like that, so getting rejected is a huge risk and, even at 15%, Apple's cut might be a big chunk of your margin.

Since Apple incentivizes low effort slot machines and detriments high quality apps, I feel like there's been an increasing portion of the app store is turning into what I consider garbage apps.

The subscription cut also creates the opposite scenario of what everyone is always parroting about iOS customers being profitable. They might spend more money, but they're definitely not more profitable (per customer) if you're paying 15% to a middleman.
> Isn't it also self-centered to feel entitled to curtail another person's freedom because of your limited sensibilities?

It's far more self-centered to stupidly get yourself into a dangerous situation that others will be obligated to rescue you from. And it's even more self-centered (to the point of arrogance) to dismiss that as the result of "limited sensibilities."
