The important difference here is China has claimed territorial waters from other sovereign and non-cooperative countries.
If the antitrust laws were designed to prevent that (they weren't) then there's been a massive failure in enforcement because nothing has changed since Apple launched the App Store in 2008. In reality laws don't require platforms to be "open" or "closed" or dictate how you're supposed to make money. And that kind of regulation would be bad for dynamic markets and competition.
This doesn't sound right, so let me try to form an example to get at what is the issue I'm seeing.

Let X be "It is okay for me to ban my customers from using discounts."

Let not X be "It is okay for me to use discounts offered by another restaurant."

This doesn't feel like a particularly contradictory situation.

Maybe the issue is that we skipped a few too many steps, because there isn't anything particularly illegal about Apple only letting apps doing certain things (like not bypassing their store) onto their store. The issue is that this is occurring in a larger situation where there are concerns about being a monopoly. I wonder if we build out exactly why what Apple is doing might be wrong (basically the argument they are having to defend against by claiming X is okay) we can see it isn't an issue. But at face value it feels to be taking a very broad view of what constitutes hypocritical behavior to the point it renders the notion useless.
>Can the US actually prevent ASML from selling equipment to China? ASML is not American.

Yes. ASML is integrated into the dollar-based global financial system, so it will have to respect American financial sanctions. This is the same way that such sanctions against Iran and North Korea work.
That’s why I love my 17 inch Alienware gaming laptop. If it is missing, I can usually spot the thief straining under the load of trying to carry it, and it is too bulky to fit in a normal backpack.
China is making huge progress at being able to replace ASML in their chip supply chain. https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201811/30/WS5c006df2a310eff3...
In addition to usual check-ins, I call in his morning and evening to assess how he is feeling and be another person to help think through the options.

Thank you.

P.S. He was feeling better this morning but, as we all know, coronavirus can get better before turning suddenly worse. The 14-day clock has started.
To be fair, this was a quibble among unarmed soldiers, literally fist-fighting on a bridge, in the middle of the night. I'm not sure if it counts for anything, and I don't think that on the whole, India's sovereignty is threatened.

The issue will be in areas wherein China can claim supremacy without much resistance, for example, off the coast of weaker neighbours in the region.

It's a pretty bold ploy - at the same time, I actually believe that the 'chip wars' will be more important!
thank you for this.

to support your use of the word radical, i wish to offer:

etymologically, “radical” comes from “radix” meaning root. to be radical in this context means to strike at the root of the problem. it means to reason from first principles and to reason in a way which takes into consideration leverage points in complex systems.
This is effectively overcharging cash customers for the availability of a service that they don't use.

Cash isn't free for stores to handle either. They need to pay employees to count up the cash at closing time, put it in the safe, and periodically distribute cash to registers so they don't run out of change. Additionally, stores typically contract with security companies to pickup and deliver cash to/from the store and the bank.

Maybe the costs from above are not identical to the fees for credit card transactions, but they may be close enough that it's not worth it for a store to charge different prices and incur the overhead from that. Some stores do however offer discounts for using cash. The examples I can think of off the top of my head are family-run Chinese take-out restaurants. These tend to have family members counting and handling cash, so they may have less overhead, or they may be too small to warrant hiring a security company to make cash pickups.
Improving Inventory Units Creation in Solidus
the ability to use an old working version if the maintainers make breaking changes - which will at least buy you enough time to move to something else
I used to work in medical devices and hospitals, and while it's _more_ true in those industries, the numbers of developers employed is less than in Tech. In other words, it isn't the Energy or Medical industries defining the equilibrium for developers. Jumping around in medical device/hospitals also results in smaller raises than in the Tech industry. Can't speak for Oil & Gas on that part.

Regarding "cross-platform": Docker for Windows used to be really terrible IMO (relied on VirtualBox, did not translate WSL paths, etc). I never managed to get the networking between VirtualBox, WSL and applications (e.g. Chrome running in Windows) working properly.

Thankfully Microsoft rewrote WSL 2 in a way that makes it work much better with Docker.
The court of public opinion does though.
The published guidelines are incomplete at best. The real rules seem to be arbitrary and aren't applied consistently. All of this talk about how "business services" get treated differently, enforcement changing in March, none of this is written down or available anywhere. It's a guessing game.

Building an app that follows the published rules and then finding out that the rules that matter are actually wildly different, digging through twitter threads and blog posts to try to figure out what's allowed- frankly those are the wastes of developer time that bother me more.
Deep Learning code: Project structure, OOP, Type checking and documentation
Not to mention that if multiple people work on a codebase over time, if a very large project gets very old (like 20 years old), having consistent formatting goes a long way in allowing people to understand code that they may not have context for.
I feel like this is a team preference problem and not a formatter problem. The formatter will only do what you tell it, spaces or tabs.

Looking at this another way, formatters are designed to "frustrate" devs into working only 1 way. If you think it's more helpful to have a codebase with mixed spaces/tabs with commits that express each developer's unique flair, then a formatter is not for your team.
Telegram say they have gone pretty far to make sure they cannot get hold of private messages - even the ones who aren't E2E-encrypted.

How? As far as I understand by having the client download encrypted messages from one Telegram server and keys from another and then place those servers in different datacenters in different jurisdictions.

FTR: of course I am aware that unlike E2E-encrypted messaging in this case you have to trust the vendor. If you do is up to you. I trust them more than WhatsApp (who are E2E-encrypted but backup to NSA^HGoogle and try to extract all kinds of metadata) and less than Signal (even though Signal has had at least one horribly security glitch).

One more thing: Telegram are also pretty open on the fact that they take down public terrorist content.
I think it's ok to leave it. The primary thing is to be more careful in the future. When a topic is divisive, it's important to edit out provocations, including unintentional ones, because otherwise people will react to the provocation rather than to the substantive part of the comment, and that's how we end up with flamewars instead of curious conversations. But I'm repeating myself now.
Tech became toxic years ago. Instead of facts and data, feelings and diversity matter.
Mozilla provides a clear policy for how you get your resolver onto their list. US ISPs (the DoH resolver is only enabled by default in the US) could obey that policy and apply to be added to the list.

But it seems like none of them have done that. Maybe the policy terms are objectionable? Let's see:

"Only aggregate data that does not identify individual users or requests may be retained beyond 24 hours."

But how will the poor ISP make extra money selling DNS query information?

"When a domain requested by the user is not present, the party operating the resolver should provide an accurate NXDOMAIN response and must not modify the response or provide inaccurate responses that direct the user to alternative content."

An ISP that obeys this can't put up advertising banners or sell search engine redirects when you typo a name - they'll have to actually earn money providing Internet service instead.

I haven't tried discord, but all of the other tools that you mention are materially worse than Zoom, in my experience.

Zoom is almost as good on a laptop as dedicated Cisco gear.

I have been video conferencing mostly for work for almost a decade, and Zoom is the best solution for that that I've encountered.

I recently changed roles, and the use of Zoom was a small reason to go with the company I did.
> plus a 30% cut for doing nothing

It's not nothing. Maybe not worth 30% but it is worth something. They run the store, buy the servers and pay for the bandwidth. Pay the engineers to develop and manage the infrastructure. Run the app certification process. Maintain the security of the platform. etc.

If they can't charge their 30% cut, they will need a different business plan. Possibly charging app developers directly for access to the app store. They are not going to just give up their 30% and do nothing.
I think he is saying that terms of service and user end policy agreements in their current state are completely unacceptable. We need to simplify these policies and contracts if we expect people to be legally accountable for understanding their contents.
Code autoformatting is amazing and I never want to go back; even though I strenuously disagree with the particular formatting my team/company has chosen for python, I'm so relieved to never ever have a style discussion in PRs that I don't care about double quotes vs single quotes anymore.

BUT

I'm tired of seeing diff chunks on github where 95% of the chunk is because black/gofmt decided to change the formatting / indentation / grouping / whatever. I want language-agnostic, AST-aware diffing, that de-emphasizes the part of a chunk that is irrelevant-in-the-world-of-auto-matic-code-formatting.
I very nearly did a startup with a friend. We had a bit of seed money and were accepted into an accelerator, and had a decent beta. But we had major concerns about the market, which seemed to be a bit of a fad, so we pulled out at the last minute. I don't regret that decision at all - within a couple years the primary competitors failed and Amazon ate their lunch.

What I do regret is never finishing my side projects. I recently stumbled across a little website that my boss had paid me $50 to make for his cousin years ago. It was a slick but very simple site that basically just played a few useful audio files. The site now accepts donations and has been wrapped into paid iOS and Android apps that have thousands of downloads. It kills me that someone has made thousands of dollars off of that dead-simple weekend project. Over the last 10 years there has virtually never been a time when I wasn't working on a side project, and yet I haven't actually launched and monetized a single one.
I think its more "It is legal for me to ban coupons at my store" and then suing another company for not letting you use coupons at their store. I'm not 100% sure though
Why these things aren't completely standardised (i.e. pick from options 1-5 for your privacy policy) is beyond me.
Docker is not exactly "booted" in the traditional meaning of starting a (real or virtual) computer.
> Not just that, but for example, it will leave distaste in the abiding workers mouths.

Or, in other words, there is a competitive advantage here: obeying the rule is a hassle. Following a dress code is more annoying than wearing whatever one is comfortable in. The abiding workers are rightfully angry, because they're paying a price, however minor, for apparently no reason.
Valve Index review: the gold standard for VR headsets
In the kindle app on iPad, it is not possible to buy kindle books. Apple only allows shopping via it's own payment schemes, presumably so that they can take the cut.

In that light, it seems rather funny that they do that on Android. Maybe it is their way of saying "see, you should be more restrictive".
What you're paid has nothing to do with your productivity or business value, it's about how much they have to pay you not to leave (or for a new job, to accept)

Inertia means that you have to pay someone more to change their life and come work at a new place. You don't have to pay someone very much more each year to have them continue on the same path.
This is seriously a very big point. Lot of companies (esp news sites) are luring you in with free trials and hoping you forget and keep paying the subscription costs. They make it hard for you to unsubscribe. Apple's approach is very good and very consumer friendly.

Btw I researched the Hey App, it is such a scam app. Its basically a dumbified e-mail service, that they are charging $99 per year, trying to create this buzz from this marketing and having "exclusive beta keys" and then having lots of fake reviews on their website and YouTube.
I started programming in the 80s, so I'm used to double-quoting anyway.

Apostrophes occur so often in English that it makes it easier to type strings like "I'm a dog". With single quoting you have to go 'I\'m a dog'.

If I hit double quotes in a string, I just triple-quote.

"""He said "hah" sarcastically""".

I know Guido (van Rossum) prefers single quotes -- I'm not sure why exactly -- so it's become a default Python style. I tried to adopting it but always ended up reverting to double quotes.

Obligatory disclaimer for everyone else: IANYL. Mostly, because armchair lawyering on the internet is the worst.

That said – sure, estoppel is absolutely an important part of the judicial/common law canon. It's also often a last ditch effort when multiple other theories of the case fall through. In fact, before estoppel was mentioned, I thought OP was going for unclean hands, which might be truly the last hail Mary, and absent much more, estoppel is equally far down that list.

Not sure which is worse: Dunning-Kruger here or if OP is actually in a position where (s)he should know better. All the Wikipedia and common law cites make me thing maybe a foreign attorney best case scenario.

tl;dr: Extremely broad but rarely used as such legal principle is cited as reason Apple is legally DOOMED! From that misleading jumping off point, OP gleefully takes the giant leap to asserting that an otherwise novel and highly disputed antitrust case involving the App Store et al. is open and shut when it very much isn't.
I would disagree so I guess that just leaves me in the delusional category :)
I THINK the situation is more...

Let not X be "It is okay for me to use discounts at another restaurant that bans discounts."
That is a fundamental misunderstanding of how probabilities work. There is always bunching, streaking, things that look like patterns but are not, and the like.
It's not that it's necessarily hard and necessarily involves sophisticated concepts, but that current literature is based on pretty hard math. Getting into Quantum Computing in this day and age is difficult because it is a research field.

Implementation is tiny research physics and likely getting protected by trade secret / patent. See IBMs systems, Google Sycamore, D-Wave's systems.

Computational theory is near a frontier of mathematics and involves new concepts that are framed for graduate-level folks. See "percolation theory"

There's no way to boil any of it down because basically no one even knows what it is yet. Some concepts have simple names, but knowing the names of things is probably 0.5% of the battle.

> The definition of dominance in the EU is primarily that you're in a position to materially affect market pricing, which I think is actually pretty easy to demonstrate in Apple's case.

Is it? App Store prices have been a race to the bottom for years, yet it's clearly in Apple’s interests to keep the prices high, both to keep their revenue from the service as high as possible and to stimulate the app economy. If they had control over the market pricing, why did the race to the bottom happen and why haven't Apple stopped it?

If the argument is that they don't care about the revenue and they actually prefer the prices as low as possible to add value to their hardware devices, then why are Apple charging 30% and not 0%?

Yikes, no. It absolutely does! The equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment is probably the most cited and least controversial of the Big Important spots in the constitution.

It is not possible for a law or court decision to find differently for different plaintiffs or defendants under the same circumstances. Period. Full stop. This is like con law 101.

For a court to square this they'd have to cite exactly the reasoning that makes it OK in one case but not the other, in a way that is much more involved than "just because", as you seem to think.
Wow, yes it was. I have no idea where BlackICE came from in my mind... Thanks!
US Immigration policy prefers high socioeconomic migrants (after the 1965 immigration reform bill). Since most Asians have immigrated to the US since 1965, of course Asians as a group will have higher economic status than the average American. The question is whether you have better outcomes controlling for parental socioeconomic status.

So pop songs usually have a recording artist / performer (i.e. the actually famous person whose name you know), and a songwriter/composer (the person behind the scenes who crafted the notes and lyrics). Sometimes they're the same person, sometimes there are many people credited for each. The takeaway here is that there are two separate pieces of intellectual property generated - the copyright (the songwriter's creation, the notes and lyrics), and the master (the actual recording of the song).

In the U.S., the money from a Spotify stream goes to whomever is the legal owner of the copyrighted work, just like FM radio. The owner of the recording master does not get paid.

When an artist signs a record deal, they usually give the label both the songwriting copyrights and ownership of the master, in exchange for some percentage of the profits generated by each. Super big name artists occasionally have the ability to throw around their weight and retain some ownership, but this is very much the exception rather than the norm.

for clang-format, it can not even add blank lines between functions, and it can not indent "public, private, protect" inside class sanely, which are two very basic needs. The rest options are worse, however, but I hope something better than clang-format.
I've been told that they have a contingency for this, that much of the design collateral is literally rigged for destruction.

That’s what I said. VPNs are good for “location spoofing,” i.e. changing your web-facing IP address to a different region. VPNs are great for this purpose.

The issue is, VPN companies (Mozilla included) are marketing their service as one that improves your safety when it doesn’t.
If you're talking about moving from a codebase that did not use a consistent formatting style or a style that did not match the auto formatter configuration, sure. I was assuming a case where automatic formatting was done from the start.

It is important to differentiate between exposure to fundamentals of electronics and physics.

I believe if you have never been exposed to engineering or another discipline that deals with complex systems (like designing software or mechanical systems) you have to learn to build systems from smaller components. This is where many beginners fail. Even though they can sort of understand what parts do they can't put them together because they don't think in systems. In that case you need something else than AoE.

On the other hand, if you have built complex things in another discipline you may find yourself very at home with AoE with no previous exposure to electronics. That's because you already know how to build systems from lego bricks, now you just need to learn new kinds of bricks and rules to put them together.
