Reeder on iOS and Feedly as a back-end. I don’t read news any other way, although I maintained this for a while:

https://github.com/rcarmo/rss2imap

Edit: I use Reeder because I can pull in articles in “Reader view” from obnoxious title-only feeds with a single tap. Don’t do those, post full articles or I most likely will keep looking for alternatives to your content...
Wow, that was very unexpected.
Did I suggest they did?
Among those renewables are “biomass” which is just burning trees. If we burned all the trees in the country it would only be enough fuel for a year. This is replacing one awful fuel source with another. Wind and solar rely heavily on fossil fuel infrastructure or directly—-solar panels are made with coal and mined quartz. And it has to be replaced ever few years. It’s looking more and more like nuclear is the only real option but that is another terrifying option because companies are greedy and will mismanage it and we can’t afford nuclear disasters.
But isn't that part of the point of open source? If you want people to have to pay for it in some way, it needs to be part of the license. The license is essentially free for all.
Unfortunately Apple's intention is that you would not hear about an alternative way to pay for the subscription and that the alternative way is cheaper.

Like it or not, the Executive branch will always need to execute on law. Every action they take is a balancing act between responsibilities. It is up to the executive to prioritize the resources. If the legislature tried to write laws that cover those kind of contingencies it would be ludicrous, a tremendous waste of time, and certainly a separation of powers issue.

Why though? Apple is well-aware of their worth in your sales funnel and know that customer acquisition outside of their store/devices is a lot more expensive.

Nobody would be complaining if you Apple's user-base wasn't so juicy that your best option is forking over 30%. If it was easy to acquire customers outside the store it wouldn't even be an issue.
I think folks are generally confusing three different topics here: per capita share of wealth, per capita material consumption, and per capita CO2 production.

Warren Buffet has roughly 100,000X the wealth of the average american (~700k), but Warren buffet does not produce 10^5 as much co2 or consume 10^5 as much iron.

>Not usually a fan of us vs them mentality, but your use of "we" here feels bad. Surely, it's all of us that use these resources, nobody on HN is self sufficient (please be the exception). But at the same time, most of us aren't getting much of the "cocaine" here, at least relatively.

This begs the question of what the threshold is for when it stops being a collective "us" problem, and becomes a "them" problem because of "their" disproportionate contribution to the problem. This [1] suggests that the richest 20% of americans account for 30% of US carbon emissions, or about 1.5x the average. If the bottom 80% are still emitting 70% of the emissions, than I would say it is still a collective "us" problem. If you somehow reduced the emissions from the top 20% richest americans to 0, the average american would still emit 300% more than the global average.

Android has this feature for how many years now?

I tried to look it up, I saw 13 years but that sounded like too long.
I'm surprised that Hey! managed to create such a big public outrage about that issue. Years ago Spotify complained about the very same thing and given that Spotify has a much bigger userbase I kind of expected the outrage to be bigger.

I suppose a large share of the potential Hey customers work in tech and might have a better understanding of what the app store tax actually means. And the EU anti trust investigations probably play role too?

I've been a freelance iOS app developer for almost a decade. Apple has always operated this way. They have rules that are somewhat vague, and they choose when they want to enforce them and how they should be interpreted.

For example: you weren't allowed to show device bezels in app store screenshots for a long time, even though all the major apps did exactly that. If you were a small time developer though you would get rejected, sometimes, with that cited as a reason. There's currently the same problems with asking for app reviews. Everyone wants to filter users through the "do you like the app? Yes/No" popups to try and make sure only good reviews get through. It's explicitly stated in the app store guidelines that you have to use the system provided prompt that doesn't allow for that, but it's only selectively enforced. So if your competition is filtering reviews but you aren't allowed to, you're at a huge disadvantage. And there's plenty of other ambiguous rules like that. In app purchases being a major one. You could have your app on the store for a year and then suddenly get a rejection notice on a bugfix update that they don't like your payment setup.

Point is: Apple will do absolutely whatever they want, and you have zero recourse. If you're a small developer it can kill you. Plenty of people will say "just follow the rules and you won't have a problem", but the rules are arbitrary and selectively enforced. For example, there was the Steam Link app debacle that Apple decided to reject after it's big release, and they literally just wrote new rules to exclude it[0]. And if they allowed alternative app stores I think you could excuse a lot of it. But they don't. And they never will unless they are forced to.

The point of this website is precisely to show there are apps labeled as free but requires additional paying membership to use it.
In reply to an inquiry about rural broadband, one of SpaceX's sales engineers told the Nebraska state government about a year ago:

"Service levels of 100 Mbps down / 40 Mbps up would generally be anticipated, but depends on
how dense the user-base is within a region. Latency will be very low, ~30 ms or so, far quicker than existing satellite-based solutions due to our much lower orbit, and comparable to fiber. User segment is a 19-inch electronically steered antenna, mounted on one’s rooftop."

And a more recent test by the Air Force measured 610 Mbps with an aircraft in flight, though of course there was very little contention to worry about.
Some password managers (1password, for example) suggest adding MFA for services that you have records for and if it knows that these services have MFA. Not sure where they get that info.
I remember a friend of mine moved to Montana for a time long ago.

He told me they gave him a brochure (maybe at the dmv?), describing how montana was different - distances were vast, services were sparse and basically that you needed to take it seriously.

I would imagine that goes 10x for alaska.

Oh yeah, and I've listened to enough episodes of Joe Rogan to realize bears... well, they are never accurately portrayed in the media.

I'm not sure if I'd put a lot of stock in an Apple supplier knowing more than people who talk to internal engineers.

The idea of a combined VR/AR device sounds silly, and I think Ive is right: AR is where Apple should be focusing right now. There is something there for AR, and Apple has been laying the groundwork for AR for years with iOS and iPad OS. VR is very much stuck in a niche right now, and it seems like it will be for awhile.
I agree that it would be best to ignore him, because I concur that the story of McCandless is seen too often as romantic instead of cautionary.

However, it didn't seem to me that Krakauer painted McCandless as too rosy. He seemed to integrate both the accomplishments and the stupidity that led to those accomplishments pretty well.

He seemed to show McCandless as a very capable and nice person, who in stubborn hubris abandoned and hurt his family and ended up dying. Not holding him up as a flawed hero like many fans of the book, and not sneering at him like many (rightly) do. A self-condemning tragedy, not an exultation or condemnation.
You're not paying for the payment processing. You never have been paying for the payment processing. You're paying for the fact that iOS devices are an extremely valuable retail space and being able to sell there is worth a lot of money to your sales funnel.
Is it not a question of whether the given wilderness is a part of society?
No, actually the opposite is true. The whole idea of any policy is to give artificial "power" to one side to straighten out the situations where the balance of power is unclear.

An exec (the remote-only version of Tim Cook if you like) can use their leverage to change the existing email flows between all managers and all engineers. Because it's more scalable than micromanaging one engineer.

In other words, some people are good at organizing through setting policies (the better sort of politics) and it's a good place to discuss such ideas.

Parent's formulation doesn't look convincing though :)
AFAIK if you bought the game from steam all subsequent micro transactions form that account/client still incur a fee to Valve.

The Steam apps are “sandboxed” as in you cant run them without Steam, they use their own executable that is tied directly into Steam.

thanks. tbf the original quote is:

"EARL: I phoned the whistleblower line there, and I said, do you speak English? Yes. Then as soon as I mentioned Wirecard, they then said, oh, actually, I don't speak very good English. Could you call back? Or then another time, the phone just went dead."

If you read the original study, participants were only asked about one version of Joe, not asked to compare. In another version of the study where an additional third framing, where Joe's income was not mentioned, rich Joe and neutral Joe were rated the same, and poor Joe more harshly.

They also did another version of the study where the thing being bought was a backup camera for a used car, and the study was 2x2: along with the income framing, there was also a framing of convenience vs safety (backup cameras are now required on all new cars since 2018 because they significantly increase safety, especially for pedestrians). Participants still rated the permissibility of a safety feature higher for a rich person than for a poor person, and rated the "convenient" camera for a rich person just as permissible as a safety camera for a poor person.

On a more general tone, does anti trust cover knowingly destroying communities and open source tools?

All the problems from app store racket still applies such as the tax. And I am not saying android doesn't need a lot of those changes, it's just they break things without helping. There are many examples if you look around.

1. Disguised ads in search results (they have been making ads less obvious) - https://i.postimg.cc/h4V8TbqF/Screenshot-20200620-041823-Goo...

Even if you search the exact name, it will bombard you with whoever is paying the most.

2. Google closed source their play billing library recently. Apps which use the library can't be put on fdroid.

3. At Google I/O 2018, Google introduced an alternative app distribution format called the Android App Bundle with the file extension .aab. This format requires giving a copy of your app’s signing key to Google. AABs are harder for users to manually sideload as they aren’t natively supported by Android’s package installer and must be unpacked and devs have to do more work to distribute on other platforms.

4. Google killing Termux with Android 10 and many others relying on the functionality by removing the perms to execute binaries.

5. Fdroid can't auto update because of restrictions by google.

6. Broke custom recoveries such as TWRP.

7. Irresponsible automated ban of anything covid. Surprisingly this doesn't or never affect popular apps. Must be because they whitelist them.

> TVs used to come with circuit diagrams so that people could repair it themselves at home using standard parts.

Nowadays a brand new high end +2000€ Samsung TV comes with ads (!) in the menu and the apps feel like they'd be running on a potato. With that kind of Smart TVs, the hardware won't be the issue since it'll be the software that will be obsole way before the hardware. Smart TV is not a promise, its a thread.
The Tesla example is unfortunate to support he point because Apple doesn’t charge 30% on physical goods.
A funny idea, maybe some apps should sell a physical card, or wearable that gives you access to premium features, but it would be ecological.
To me, fusion research is another example of very poor return on R&D investment.

Yes, all the major tech companies are engaged in rent seeking. But Apple is the only one that says users must either must pay rent or throw away their hardware.

The App Store and its policies are not the problem. The App Store is Apple's store, just like Amazon.com is Amazon's store. But the App Store shouldn't be the only way to get software on my phone. And no, reinstalling apps from a computer every seven days doesn't count.

(The semi-exceptions are game consoles. I don't like that either, but since they're single-purpose devices I find it much less bad.)
This would be a legitimate complaint if Apple let you show an app as free with non-Apple subscription.

It is actually against Apple’s rules for Basecamp to make it any clearer.
It's unlikely that physical phenomena that require machines the size of small countries to detect are going to lead to any practical use.
This is very true for _good researchers_. Unfortunately the grant system nowadays does not look kindly to self-doubt: your proposals have to be authoritative and confident for them to be funded; if there's any whiff of a "maybe" there it does not get funded anymore. Thus, professors who are over-confident (or, surprisingly often, even oblivious) about the potential pitfalls in their proposal are more likely to be funded, if they are even proposing something that's novel. Many researchers don't even bother writing the actual proposal, they write a proposal for a projct that's already half way done, so they know for sure it's going to work (and they can also provide preliminary data). When the money comes they will use it for a future project and then repeat the cycle applying for the grant for that project afterwards. Futile cycle to the drain unfortunately.
> You can't publish something saying "do whatever you want" and then complain that people aren't being fair to you.

Well… you can complain. You just can't sue them. But the complaint would still be valid.

You can act like a jerk and follow all the laws at the same time, it's just that the consequences for you won't be identical.
>with little effect on anyone else.

I'm guessing the two hunters who had to find his decomposing body, and the officers who had to remove it, might feel slightly different than you do. That's ignoring his parents and sibling(s).

It's easy to say "it's my own business" but to pretend like his actions didn't affect any others is awfully self-centered of him and you.
> Do you want a successful business? Ok, then follow the rules, cover your ass, and do what you need to do to get your business going, even if it’s not always the ideal situation for you.

Not to pick on your bio too much, but I'm wondering if you may be having difficulty understanding the situation as a self described "ethically challenged software engineer working for a major tech company". But, you'll never get a new business off the ground successfully if you "follow the rules, cover your ass, ..." because the incumbents you are competing with are already doing that.

As I've ranted about before, running a startup is about taking calculated risks. You need to fight these fights if you think they have a high positive expected value. As sibling commentators explained, you do not always do this for altruistic reasons -- picking fights with a Goliath when you're a David is easy free PR for you.

Now granted, this kind of easy, free PR might be a drop in the bucket if you're a BigCo. And on the other hand, the expected risk might be high enough that the tradeoff really doesn't work out in your favor in that situation! But that is because the strategy for handling this kind of a setback is really not fungible from running a startup to running a BigCo.

SVG is not typically very responsive (mobile, desktop), and you end up digging yourself into a "no support" hole.

It seems the web community is dedicated to forcing things to work until they become fully supported features of HTML.

Also, in this case, CSS grid is a very good choice for layout, but the background could totally just be an svg.
Legality doesn't always cover everything because that would result in a lot of problems. People operate on the spirit of the law, not the actual words or at least they are supposed to.

> It's a tragedy that the public school system teaches nothing about accounting, budgeting, how to run a simple business, etc.

At least some do. The curriculum at my public high school included an economics course which covered (personal) accounting and budgeting in some detail—both theory and practice. IIRC we also did some simulated investing and spent some time on the basics of running a business.

The lottery is indeed pretty terrible as an investment, but I expect most people who participate see it more as a form of entertainment. It's not my thing, but a certain amount of money budgeted for entertainment and/or hobbies is perfectly reasonable and I'm not going to criticize how that money is spent so long as it makes the spender happy and all the critical expenses are paid.
This is true, but practically no one lives in the northern half so no one cares.

Paying 10% of your revenue for them to usurp your customer relationship seems like a bad deal to me.
