I released apps to the App Store in 2010 and 2012 so things have changed a lot since then. I never had major issues but I currently operate a SaaS (Tesults.com) which if it were to get an app would be a login only (no sign up) and may run into similar issues not because we wouldn’t want to pay the fees but because implementing IAP would massively complicate things, we already have a billing/plans model and integrating another system is just overhead and doesn’t help anyone. It is a concern. The whole App Store model can be massively stressful though even if it’s a free app, was so even back then. Sometimes I had critical bug fixes that were blocked due to some other reason but they don’t consider the customers are currently in a worse position by using a buggy app so in balance it would be better to approve but ask for a fix to their issue within say a week or two. A few changes in policy would make the App Store better to use for both developers and users. Web dev by comparison is truly liberating and the freedom is sweet.

Because of Trump, US allies have to guard more corners than before. It's a serious problem and I think Trump is actually giving Russia/China an unfair advantage.

He has already destroyed the Asian partnerships against China that Obama started, he also got out of numerous Western partnerships because it wasn't his signature on it.

I would say that the problem is not Europe, it's 100% Trump. Allies won't back him since they can't trust him. Everyone knows he's trying to have as much as personal gain as possible. Even meddling in European affairs,. Eg. Ukraine for the clear sake of money).

Every time Trump suggests to help countries handle their affairs, you know he's going for the "pay Trump, get US military assistance" card, it's nuts.

The Western alliance since WO II can't survive in it's current form if Trump would get another term, they are all waiting till someone sane comes back. If it doesn't happen, it will become a serious problem :(

TLDR; If you wouldn't trust Trump as a business partner, how can other countries trust him. You can't unite/partner with a person like that.

Edit: if down vote. Please share something that Trump seems trustworthy without personal gain. I haven't seen any situation during his entire term, trying to redirect US-money to his pockets.

> "Why will non remote Canadians get excited about high speed internet?"

I know Canada is a huge, sparsely populated country with many isolated, remote communities. But I'm astounded that "30 kilometres north of Toronto" is considered one of those locations so remote that you can't get fast, affordable internet service. So it seems like there are potentially a lot of "remote" Canadians.
From a purely national interest standpoint, it's hardly surprising the US would be uninterested in negotiations given the fact it's the global digital products leader. While it's certainly true some such rules are worthwhile at the minimum tax level to stop global mega-corps avoiding taxes, like the old Double Irish loophole [1], the negotiations didn't break down over such provision, as the article mentions.

The negotiations broke down because the Europeans have failed to develop as successful a digital economy and run a large digital economic deficit with the United States. They want to levy a tax against an American import to help this trade imbalance, while claiming it doesn't amount to a trade tariff. Given the amount of economic value at stake, of course the Americans are going to view it as an unjust trade tariff and fight against it, while the Europeans will view it as a fair and justified tax for value captured in their domestic market. The global minimum tax has mutual agreement, however, so don't use that to distract or straw-man non-existent disagreement, avoiding the real and essentially intrinsically zero-sum crux of the disagreement here.

I'm guessing it wasn't the systemd developers that configured it as such, but without seeing your dependency graph and knowing your distro and installed packages I don't know.

Maybe your distro supports LDAP or another remote user directory? Maybe you just have some services installed that depend on the network and that say they are critical to the multi-user.target? You haven't given enough info for me to know, but it probably isn't systemd's fault in this case.

My gut instinct is to use a power-of-2 base because it makes decoding a lot easier (and can be done in parallel). But I doubt that the hash codec is a big enough overhead to be concerned about.

Hey was really hyped, it was actually crazy. I'm happy to pay for my mail service, but 99€ for an individual plan seems pretty hefty to me.

There are regularly stories about iOS apps getting removed for odd reasons on the HN tops, but the Hey story blew up pretty quickly.

> I know there are many who hate DHH and Ruby Rails

I also I also heard that a lot of people hate DHH and his Twitter comment bubble doesn't seem to like HN. Either way, he is certainly not wrong about the issue. I also don't see how Hey would profit from marketing around that. First of all, Hey is pretty expensive and has a pretty narrow target audience as of now. Most people are perfectly happy with their free mail, people who aren't are probably already aware that those alternatives exist. Even more importantly, I don't see how they are going to profit by putting their App Store listing at risk. I doubt an E-Mail service is able so succeed if it doesn't offer native applications or at least a integration with third party clients. Since they chose to not support IMAP etc, Hey's iOS app is integral to the buisness. No app in the store, no profit.

I've never seen an adequate answer to this but it boggles my mind that this problem wasn't foreseen.

When Git came out we'd already seen a move from MD5 hashes to SHA-1 because MD5 was no longer deemed secure. Of course this was going to happen again.

So why wasn't the protocol and the repository designed to have multiple (hash algorithm, hash) pairs?

At this point it becomes a client and server issue if you support a given protocol or not so you have this handshake to agree on what you're using (eg a server may reject SHA-1), much like we have with SSH.

This seems like it would've been trivial to allow for in the beginning. Or am I missing something?

aluminium production/smelting uses a colossal amount of electricity but they can shut down quickly for a few hours (as long as they don't let things get too cold and freeze which is expensive as it destroys equipment and takes a long time to restart - which is what happened in the ransomware attack against norsk, they had to switch to manual line processes to keep it moving).

Back in WW2 many communication lines were a single wire with an earth return ... years ago I was told a story (by people who were old enough to have been there) of doing that in the desert when they were facing Rommel .... guy picks up the phone, winds the generator to make it ring at the other end, someone picks up the phone answers "jawohl" .... sudden silence on the kiwi end, followed by scurrying around to find someone who spoke german so they could listen in.

Of course what had happened was that there were two parallel earth return phone lines on either side of the front, the lowest impedance path used both .....

Now this story was told to me by some old timers (people who could talk to you at the same time as they held a conversation in morse) - they told some great stories (all that I know of were true) - take it with the appropriate grain of salt

There's a lot of people saying that the involvement of these companies is suspicious, but it seems like securely withdrawing an enormous amount of cash is exactly the sort of service they provide.

I'll just say it again; there is nothing actually linking to RCMP at this point. If you are going to leap that it's not his money, why not claim he's in the pay of the Saudis or organised crime or anything else?

Yes, it would be difficult but not impossible to agree on clear criteria. We would also need an impartial third party to make a determination.

HN is too frequently updated, but for blogs or personal web pages it's okay. You can either use IPNS or update a DNS record each time you update your content. I chose the latter as years of experiences proved it more robust than IPNS (also, my registrar provides a very simple API that I can use to automatically update the appropriate DNS record, so this is done by the same Python script that update my IPFSite).

The downside is that hosting an IPFS node is quite heavy on the network. I have a reasonably good connection at home (a bit less than 1MB/s up, a bit more than 10MB/s down) and if I run the IPFS daemon locally I can't really use my internet connection for anything else. I used to rent a little VPS for that, but now I use the free-tier of temporal.cloud and it is sufficient for my usage.
How Ozonetel Is Leveraging Its AI-Powered Cloud Telephony Platform
This is not well-understood by the general public, but Trump's power as a statesman is his unpredictability.

If you don't know what or where he will be next, how do you counter him?

Reagan kept the Soviet Union off balance to the point of dissolving it. He's considered one of America's greatest statesman today, but called a clown by the elites at the time.

The CCP should be concerned about the same fate if they trifle with Trump. They have given every reason for him to isolate that country.
I share this opinion as well. For centralized-repo style, which is what most teams need, the Git model has three problems:

- It is hard to use. There's a reason most teams have a single or two Git "experts" to help everyone else resolve repository / merge / pull / whatever problems that happen regularly. The onboarding experience for developers unfamilir with Git is very bad, and many of them end up never able to use it. If you have non-developers (e.g. artists), it is even worse.

- Binary files. Yes, there is Git LFS, but there are many small integration problems when you try to use it, and the simple fact that Git needs something special to manage binary files is a problem. And no, storing binary files outside the repository is NOT a good solution. In games for example, the binary files and the engine usually evole together and if you want to checkout an old version, the code and the assets need to stay in sync. You want to version the game, not just the engine.

- Partial (subtree) clones and permissions. There's a reason monorepos are popular: they're much simpler to manage. Unfortunaly, because Git barely does partial clones and cannot manage permissions (inside a repository) at all, monorepos are much more limited than in SVN or P4. That's why many projects end up divided in multiple repos, but this brings all sorts of problems and a large administrative overhead for all developers.

Break ins are rare (I mean, most people will never have one in their lives); and if your threat model assumes have a tech-savvy thief then all your accounts should be considered compromised anyway since it's likely that some of the stolen devices will include some access tokens/cookies that could grant access to some accounts which then can be escalated to e.g. reset passwords to other accounts.
The worry is that if systems like this become widespread enough then they'll simply be required just like phone numbers are. The website will pinky promise you that they won't sell your data. Not to mention that now the government can just request access to all of your accounts on all of these services, because they know you had to use your ID.
I find writing JSON schema way more painful than XML one. It’s even more verbose and it’s difficult to track the level of what is declared. And tooling support is lacking.
I'm curious where all that cash ended up. Did they find it? The preceding article on this matter says

> It is not clear what happened to the money from the moment the killer took it out of the Brink’s location to the time he was shot by RCMP officers during an attempted arrest at a gas station in Enfield, N.S., on April 19. The lawyer for family members of the killer’s victims said Wednesday that the estate filing at probate court lists a large sum of cash, which he believes was recovered by the RCMP. “I assume the public trustee has it,” said Robert Pineo, who is suing the estate.

> XML Schema is incredibly mature and robust (and an ENORMOUS pain in the butt to write).

The way I do it is to define classes in C# and annotate with attributes (either DataContract and/or System.Xml.Serialization) and then export the schema as a set of XSD documents with the accompanying catalog file.
Apple has 137,000 employees of which 80,000 are in the United States and 22,000 are in Europe, and of those 6,000 in Ireland. However, 64% of Apple's sales are (or at least were in 2017) outside the US, which then get funneled to Ireland, despite only housing like 4.3% of Apple's global employees.

They're just shifting money, not talent. Money which is then taxed at a very low rate (Apple International had an effective corporate tax rate of 1% in 2003, which was shrunk down to 0.005% by 2014) and in return doesn't really benefit the people of that country.
> Trump's power as a statesman is his unpredictability.

Please don't mistake unpredictability to untrustworthy, ego-centrism and self gain driven behaviour. The guy clearly lacks any social decency that toddlers even know.

Reagan did this only as a strategy to USSR, but Trump is clearly influenced by self-gain and ego-centric. He is very predictable, if you use that as a variable.

Reagan also supported anti-communism countries and saw the strength in allies. Trump stands alone, every where he goes and doesn't have the brain capacity to lead a country.

I think you haven't been paying attention the last months. The US has never been this divided, Trump resembles a con-man/lunatic a lot more.

Ps. A divided nation is a weak one.

Basically, she was just presenting it as if she's babysitting a naughty kid.

China is a vastly bigger consideration. If China decides to invade Taiwan the US could lose access to most semiconductors. China’s military is developing rapidly.
