Hmm, a "sophisticated state actor" or a copy-paste script kiddy? Which one was it?

Copy-paste and open source was enough to get into the Australian Parliament, apparently our pollies simply can't resist the allure of larger penises and wealthy Nigerians in trouble.

Or maybe, just maybe, there is just the slightest possibility that this is all just a manufactured distraction from other issues...

These are the nincompoops who passed a law to backdoor everyone's encryption and nuke their own country's IT industry from orbit with a law that nobody wanted. What a surprise that they can't keep their own data secure.
… that does not follow. Apple's definitions aren't based on whether a good is free. It's based on whether the service is delivered without real-world interaction by the user.

Tuition at a brick-and-mortar college? No cut.

On-demand video service with tutorials? They get a cut.
Elite: corporations, financiers, and their media and military arms. The "successful" capitalists.

On collectivism: Gutting organised labor wherever possible, gutting education & social programs in general, pushing identity issues to divide the population, "war on drugs", terrorism & FUD, ideological war on socialism/communism/Marxism.

I guess the anti-war and adjacent movements of the 70s is what really set them off.
Obviously bad practice can ruin any good thing, but I much prefer list comprehensions for smaller operations and will refactor them as they become unwieldy. If you're in an environment where "nobody really wants to" rewrite stuff that's becoming hard to work with (for whatever reason) it probably doesn't matter which language feature dooms you.
Corporate humanism isn't always a crime. Sometimes it is.

But even when it isn't, it is a sub-optimal strategy compared to maximizing as long as those that make the decisions have differing interests than those that bear them. And if they do not have differing interests, then why separate them?
What would be the reason for Telegram to do so? Why it would give keys to Russian government but not for example UAE or USA?

These unsubstantiated claims (like Telegram to send data to Russian gov) won’t help anybody.
No, I mean the label Antifaschistische Aktion and its abbreviation Antifa literally originated with labor groups opposing the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party.

I'm not a historian, but understanding is that there isn't real continuity between that antifa (labor and communist anti-Nazi groups) and the modern antifa (the punk-direct-action-aesthetic antifa), which came about much later in the century, but that the name and association was adopted intentionally.
Maybe, but the spirit of the law was intended to prevent incidents exactly like this
Or use open source hardware like the Riscv5

The phone is very much not the store in my analogy. The store is the store. The phone is the phone. My analogy is not that deep.
Can you provide a reference to your comment about the “Supreme court agrees”.

I don’t know what youre referring too.
In practice though most people I know do use a Costco branded credit card since it doubles as your membership card.

Costco (Canada at least) also only allows MasterCard for credit card payment. Prior to that it was exclusively Amex.
Except being electric and costing essentially nothing in maintenance?

Also, the handling characteristics were really not as bad as claimed from most all experiments conducted.
>They own their users.

In my experience, Windows owned me. I spent far more time (and money) dealing with malware and low quality hardware running windows than I ever have with the Apple devices I have used. The amortized cost of an Apple device is far lower than equivalent Windows (or Androids), if you include time and stress and probably money too since my family uses iPhones and iPads and MacBook Airs for 5+ years.
An app shutdown day would be more appropos.

Easier to coordinate a deployment for, and affects all users, not just installing one. It would also allow you to control the messaging users see when they open your app and it only loads the walk out day screen.
Ummm... Netflix? Amazon Prime?
Yeah a developer should distinguish between using a static html, some javascript + html, server side rendering html, and full react app
> If you are shocked that companies take a fee for distribution then wait until you see how things work in the real world.

That is not a good analogy. Supermarkets, retailers etc charge a fee from the vendor because that is their primary source of income ("bread and butter", if you may). In the OP's case, the "supermarket" is an iPhone device which the user has already paid a premium price for.

EDIT: bduerst covered this already https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23571076
Granted it's silly, but I'm fascinated by this thought experiment.

It's not easy to quantify the amount of useful content on the internet. The 2bn figure above seems to stem from registered domains, and depending who you ask [1][2] around three quarters of them are "inactive" (e.g. landing page for a parked domain).

At the other end of the spectrum, Google's index surpassed 130 trillion pages four years ago [3]. Point in favour of my opponent!

If everyone connected to the internet indexed one page a day over the course of their lifetime we might just about do it. And anyone creating a new page would need to [arrange to] index it themselves.

They aren't just Apple users. They are people that paid good money for a device that is capable of running code. The person who bought the phone should naturally have the right to run whatever code they want to authorize on that device, regardless of where the code came from.

Your Walmart analogy is broken. I think it's more like this:

A band that I like released a CD. I buy a CD from one of their live shows. I should have the right to play the CD on my CD player without having to pay 30% of ALL CD sales to the maker of the CD player.

I don't mind paying a 30% cut to a store which made it more convenient for me to buy the CD, but I shouldn't HAVE to go to that ONE CD store to buy my CD's.
The size of a cache line must be fixed in the preprint. He assumes a cacheline is 64 bit, whilst it is 64 byte, 8 words not just one. This affects the timestamp chapter mostly.
But you're describing a benefit of storing an AST. Instead of the code suddenly changing meaning, you have an AST that says what the meaning should be.

The worst case is that you export it with the old version of the converter, and then the code changes meaning. You have silent corruption. But if you stored raw text this would always happen.

The good case is that you export it with the new version of the converter. It will notice that a variable name matches a keyword, and alert you to fix it.
Cloudera Extends the Data Cloud Experience Allowing the Business to Navigate
One is Neural Machine Translation, as embodied by, for example, the new Google Translate. For many language pairs you can get automated translation that is actually mostly plausible. It's an incredible aid to global communication.
The goal of "izbačena" here is clearly to indicate that the memory has been stored elsewhere. FWIW, "dumping trash" would be readily translated to "избацити смеће" (izbaciti smeće) in Serbian, so I am surprised it's such a stretch in Croatian. Perhaps the Croatian translation has been based off Serbian one.

You are probably more accustomed to Norwegian translations because you never learned Norwegian IT-speak before the translations appeared, whereas I imagine you grew up on English interfaces while speaking Croatian (we term that Srblish, maybe you've got Croglish :)).
Wiretap is a misnomer. Undermines security.

Put plainly, there will always be crimes you won't be able to catch. You prioritise resources on the most pressing ones and build up resources in the real world to tackle them in other ways. Dystopian lists on the client to control what you're allowed to say or think or report your thoughts back to the government still violates the principle E2EE is built upon.

There is no middle-ground. You either are secure or you are not. The genie is out of the bottle either way.
I do. Enough good soil and seeds to go longer too.
But don’t they do this because they can Protect the consumers card data better than anyone.

Everyone loves Apple for their unwavering stance in user Privacy. How is this not just another example of that?

(I’m not trying to be combative. I’m just playing devils advocate and pointing out this topic is way more complex than others are making it out to be)
Which is fine - that's still the consumer's choice. It's a bit different if Costco took away that choice.

Even then it's not the same because you don't own the Costco store like you own your phone.
I don’t think it’s fair to use Netflix as an example. Netflix is big enough to make their own rules. We don’t see internal business arrangements but I wouldn’t be surprised if there would be flat fee between Apple and Netflix to settle that.

Hey is trying to do just exact same thing but surfing on the verbosity and not business power per se.
> Viruses are also a possibility but could also be largely mitigated with multiple pockets of humanity spread by enough distance.

If I understand correctly, SARS-CoV-2 hit some "sweet spot" being rather sneaky and rather dangerous at the same time, but is nowhere near top sneakiness across all viruses.
Gesture typing (swipe) is still in beta and didn't work much the last time I checked. I'm posting this by swiping on SwiftKey. I've been using swiping keyboards since 2011 and I won't go back to tapping buttons.
Does Costco sell things at a markup? They are famous for having net income equal to the amount of membership fees they collect, so they must be selling products at however much it costs to obtain the products and operate the stores.

I’m zeroing in on the “real” here. Email is an indispensable service, just like paying tuition. The idea that “it’s on the internet so it doesn’t count” is... farcical coming from the biggest tech company (or one of the largest browser vendors, whichever seems more relevant) ever.
Holy smokes TLDR.
Loose is a word that describes knots.

You are obviously writing more code for client side HTML generation based on JSON than regular server side rendering... I am saving effort if I need to write fewer files...

Your feature requires a JSON route, html rendering, and javascript that pulls everything together. Mine is just a route that returns HTML. Why is there absolutely no difference in effort? You have 3 files, I have one.

separating data from presentation is not new. It has nothing to do with SPAs
Looking at it I had, for the first time in my life in a museum, the feeling of looking at a fake.
> Possibly charging app developers directly for access to the app store

Err, Apple does charge to develop for their platform.
Rice and beans are inexpensive and if you pack them right twenty years no problem. I've got six full five gain pales.
The original cited SIGSEG constant definition in the OP still has a "segmentation violation" right there in the comment. Which suggests that "violation" was the norm even then.
I think the reasoning behind IAPs is not that IAP is provided as a convenience service to developers, but that IAPs represent value to the iOS users.

If you're using iOS and searching through the app store and then download an app, being able to sign up and pay via the app is useful to you. If you download an app and it doesn't do anything, and you can't sign up or pay via the app then that's a bad experience.

The problem with this argument is it's a lot weaker when Apple also forces you to pay a massive tax when enabling this. I think the argument would be a lot stronger if they forced IAP compatibility, but didn't take a cut and just charged a reasonable up front fee to list on the app store.

I'd argue even an up front fee is unnecessary though. I'm happy with Apple curating the app store to prevent spam and low quality applications, I'm happy with them forcing standards like IAP, but I'm not happy with them controlling the store and then rent seeking.

Apple should make money from making and selling incredible products. That's why people love them.
The thing is, though, that Firebase push notifications are deeply integrated with mobile networks. They get special treatment to ensure energy-efficient operation, at the cost of more idle connections hanging in the network infrastructure. Yes, with IPv6 that should/could become much less relevant, but then you loose the traffic-flood-DoS protections you get from CG-NAT.
Great post.

Promotes narrative that military/gov influence transitioned to risk/venture.

Hemp Oil Tincture AU: Reviews-Health-Tips*99%-Work* Special-Offer
Could Hemp Oil Tincture be dispatched to Australia?

In spite of the developing lawfulness of therapeutic cannabis, access to Hemp Oil Tincture and different items has been constrained thanks to some extent to regulatory obstacles that make getting a solution troublesome. While the network of household producers and cultivators is on the ascent, numerous Australians who experience difficulty really getting a remedy can undoubtedly buy Hemp Oil Tincture from abroad. Fortunately, there presently can't seem to be any indictments for buying or bringing in Hemp Oil Tincture from abroad. Nonetheless, the procedure necessitates that the shipper get a permit and license from Australia's Office of Drug Control which the vast majority don't have.

At least Apple rejected RKN request to block Telegram.

This is a random article (in a Russian) about RKN threatening to block App Store in Russia if they refuse to remove Telegram from the App Store.

Of course they can get a cut, like any retail store.
But 30% is waaaay higher than what is usual retail markup.

It should be single digit.
Technically you have web-apps, but it is also going to be a tiny minority who would seek that out. And of course they are not as feature rich
This in an unsubstantiated claim which does not help anybody.
Oh no it's spot on. You own your phone, so you own the hardware that houses the store, yet the previous owner is still getting exclusivity inside the property you just purchased.

And forceably taking a cut from their competition as you try to transact with their competition.
There's some debate about whether we can build a geothermal power plant on top of a volcano to manage the temperature of the hotspot.
From a consumer perspective, software prices in real terms have gone down dramatically since those days. Apple brought unprecedented scale and discovery to a software marketplace, and consumers have benefitted.
`2.days.ago` is not "cool," it's an example of the some of the worst things about Ruby. Suppose I came across a cutesy expression like that in a program I was reading. How in the world am I supposed to figure out what code is invoked by that expression and where that code lives?

It's emphasizing writeability over understandability, which is totally backwards from the point of view of engineering robust systems.

Except it's barely even writeability, it's some bizarre notion that code should read like English where possible. And of course, since it's not actually English, it's only possible in limited ways and trying to generalize past those limits will break. So you have to learn exactly where the limits are anyway, which is as much effort as learning to use a proper library, except harder because a proper library will have the decency to stay in its own namespace.
If only that dichotomy was reflected in our two political parties. But nope, we just have centrist "please preserve the status quo" candidate and right-wing "extreme selfishness" candidate. No builders allowed.
It's definitely not preferable, but if 37Signals adds an in-app purchase and charges $130 instead of $99, would Apple approve the App? Maybe as a protest they should charge $200 in-App :P
The analogy with brick and mortar stores doesn't really work, because in the case of iOS Apple owns and controls the only store.

You could argue people could choose Android, but that's not quite the same thing since the user has to completely change operating systems and hardware to do it.

I'm not sure there is a good non-digital analogy.

If Apple cared about the user experience they could still require in app sign up and IAP, but not take a rent-seeking cut.

They could make money by inventing and selling really great products (which is why people like them in the first place).
MayaData launches Kubera; a Kubernetes management service
This is ridiculous, because what the author describes here is not 'collectivism' in the sense that free marketers are against. Nowhere in the post is there anything about needing to get rid of private property or even to socialize ownership of goods. What is discussed is individuals collectively taking responsibility for their own lives and those of their neighbors -- as demonstrated in the highway and obstacle example. That is not an instance of 'big government collectivism'. Quite the opposite, and one not only compatible with, but encouraged by the libertarian free market capitalists you decry.

In reference to the highly authoritarian European regimes, Toqueville states that Americans are different:

> This detachment from his own fate becomes so extreme that, if his own safety or that of his children is threatened, instead of trying to ward off the danger he folds his arms and waits for the entire nation to come to his rescue.

This sounds like something a 'far-right', liberty obsessed gun afficionado may say as he points out the importance of the second amendment and self-defence and the importance of a small government
And yet, it is still the most popular desktop OS, and desktop PCs with more open OSes have capabilities that even iPads with keyboard docks can't touch. Plus, there are about a million things you could do to improve the security of an OS that don't require a gatekeeper. Windows specifically has many problems but that shouldn't condemn the entire concept of a computer that the user actually has control over.
Sure, ships can have more expensive antennas. But you need a lot of those ships out there and the antennas are extremely expensive. I'm not sure what you are arguing about the simulation. Are you saying it's inaccurate and there's a better one?
My jaw is on the floor. How did you get so much malware and such poor hardware?

I love my iphone 7 and my macbook air from 2013--no doubt, they are very good. But I could throw my windows pc in the garbage and rebuy it a couple of times over for the cost of comparable hardware from apple, and I'm just not having the problems you are describing. This is like 6 year old computer that was about $1,300 in parts. It's like, just some asus motherboard with mismatched ram and a video card.... and it works fine. My mom has a 10 year old windows computer that just keeps on spreadsheeting and e-mailing for her... just fine. I just don't understand.

I've also had apple hardware that has issues. The notion that it is issue free is just not true.
What really sets cryptography apart is that for a non-expert, there is no way to tell whether it's correct or not. Most bad software has bugs that can be found by users. A bad ML model will do poorly in validation.

But a bad crypto implementation will work. For all intents and purposes, it will appear completely fine. Users will get their messages. The bitstream will appear completely random. At least, until somebody with expertise in breaking crypto systems digs into it.
> This begins to become apparent when school starts and children, even in their games, submit to the rules they have established and punish offenses following their own definitions

This is really the issue right here. Our schools neither allow children to play freely to make up their own rules. And certainly if any children decided to dole out their own punishments, that would be met with immediate hostility.
That seems a false dichotomy, macOS had an app store for many years while still allowing you to install random apps.

An average consumer might get most of their apps from the vetted store while still able to install transmission or VLC directly.

The problem with windows was that there where no properly implemented permission systems and there were a ton of bugs that malware could exploit, the situation seems to have improved significantly from Windows 98.
How to Setup DHCP Server and Client on CentOS and Ubuntu
Not just "pushes", they have already passed a law where they can secretly force sysadmins to create backdoors for them under threat of 15 years jail, with no legal representation. No warrant necessary, just the approval of a retired judge. And no reporting. You can't make this shit up.

Stasi commandant Dutton has also recently introduced a bill to interrogate 14 year olds with no legal representation as well.

Bloody scary what's happening here.
I think it stores it in IndexedDB but there are other backends as well. I didn't look too closely how it handles persistence. It was something I came across while doing some research on smalltalk. Didn't pursue it any further other than thinking it was an interesting project.

Greenhouses cool down rapidly after sunset though, they still freeze if it's many deg below freezing outside. (Also mass crops like wheat and soy would have to solve harvesting machinery and resource cost vs area size)
They did say so, but I haven't seen it documented anywhere on Apple.com

The only tradeoff is not rendering speed, you're also required to use javascript, create an api to serve data(depending on the site this may be overkill), ship huge gobs of framework code to users, work with an ever-changing and complex landscape of tools which mostly demand you convert all your code to use that framework, put up with the slower speed, and run js on the server side too for SEO.

There are very few upsides if you already serve pages server side and look at current client side js development.
It is possible to use other app stores with Android. Samsung, Amazon etc have their own app stores which can run side by side with Google's.
