The UK is building a new nuclear plant and new offshore wind.

The nuclear plant has a strike price twice as high as the offshore wind.
What on earth are you talking about? I'd just host the .ipa on my website and tell my existing users to install it. Easy and done.

Instead in this insane reality I have to pay Apple $100 every year for the privilege of distributing an app to my already existing user base.
Not being able to use my own domain name with Hey is a non starter for me. It’s like not being able to transfer your cell phone number when you switch carriers. Horrible.
I think you're a bit confused. The "not allowed to question this ideology" problem is independent of whether the ideology has a supernatural component or not. You weren't allowed to question Mao when he ruled China or Pol Pot when he ruled Cambodia; in many circles you aren't really allowed to question transgenderism or other ideas as well.

On the other hand, there are long histories of philosophical and theological inquiry in the Christian tradition; from what I understand the same is true of Islam. There are certainly times and places in both camps where small deviations were perceived as heresy, and perceived "heretics" were persecuted or killed; but as a Christian, I am as opposed to that as much as any atheist can be opposed to the persecutions of Mao.
Oligopoly that monopolises the market
Corporate taxes are stupid, anyway. Companies just evade them and hold money elsewhere until the next repatriation holiday. Corporate taxes also prevent us from treating investment income as ordinary income. Just all around stupid.
Good argument. For the record I don’t actually believe that Anti-social consumption is a quality way to live a life. But I do think it’s important to kick around opinions that make a moral appeal or claim to be “the way”.
That is a coming feature.
In addition to the other replies, it's also fine to move your EOL satellite to a sufficiently lower orbit, but it's not really considered a graveyard orbit, it will just decay and burn up in the atmosphere.
New Way of Testing
Also Bede although that was written somewhat later (8th century).

When writing Why the West Rules for Now Ian Morris attempted to quantify the overall level of social development in the Western and Eastern cores in a very detailed way. (It used to be available online as a sort of appendix but I don't immediately see it.) In any case, you see this decline in the West after the fall of the Roman Empire that wasn't reversed for many centuries.
More seriously though, I think the internal comment on Fastmail's slack that I saw straight afterwards nailed it:

"If you have to set up a domain to point to your help pages to explain why something isn't a typo, you're doing it wrong".
Addendum:

A slightly different example. Internet Explorer essentially dominated the browser space for nearly forever until Chrome. There are any number of reasons, but the most obvious is that Microsoft could leverage their position as the platform owner to promote IE over all alternatives. EU tried to regulate it by forcing them to add a "browser choice" dialog, which didn't work. The only reason why Chrome became so popular was because Google did exactly the same thing as Microsoft. They could leverage their search engine, which by that time already owned 90% of the search engine market, to aggressively promote Chrome at every single opportunity.

There are all these examples of tech companies leveraging an existing platform to edge out competitors in clearly anti-competitive ways, and modern laws simply aren't up to the task of ensuring a fair, competitive market where massive companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon can't abuse their power.
Hi there! It sounds like you're going through a burnout. I think that once you accept it, then you can take the necessary steps to make the situation better.

I've shown a middle finger to Apple long time ago when they stopped producing macbooks without a non-glare displays and asked for additional 400 USD for removing a glass panel from a regular glare display unibody mbp to achieve a "similar" effect. Lol.

That company is dead to me. What they call "pro" now should be rather called "lol" instead.
The attention to detail is reall impressive. They've absolutely nailed the look of a good country pub.

It's really hard to describe how much I miss being able to go to the pub right now (it's not the drink, it's the atmosphere of a good pub). I know, I'm lucky to be in the position where that's what bothers me, but still, really looking forward to when they can start opening up again. Fingers crossed they won't have all gone bankrupt by then :/

Wait, I can't use my own domain name? I was thinking of checking Hey out, thanks for saving me the bother.
I saw Imbox and thought, well, it can't be a typo; must be a pun I am not getting.
Ah I see! Let's go with Patreon then :) As it grows I think it will allow for better engagement from supporters. Plenty of features for sharing updates and getting feedback that are perhaps worth the cut they take!
“And as further proof this was a religious artifact they also describe an event in 1980 as the Miracle on Ice to which there was much celebration most likely as this was the start of rising temperatures that rid the land of frozen water”
As with its Trust Store Mozilla operates in public. If you believe that providers aren't behaving you can and should present evidence to the community.

Mozilla isn't suggesting you choose services based on how cheap they are, but on whether they implement these policies.

NextDNS, who are on Mozilla's list, offer a paid service if you want advertising filters or porn filtering or whatever but if you're damn sure you "get what you pay for" then pay them their subscription fee and don't switch on any filters.
PHP is also a compiled binary.
It equates to the value of exactly one annual Hey subscription.
Everyone's faking it. Believe me. Except maybe the judges.

Strongly agree that policy work has been separate from campaigning. I've been out of the game, so don't know the current landscape. What's always true is the game continues to change. Improvise, adapt, overcome.

Law makers, by necessity, lean on their staff and lobbyists (both the good and bad kind) to navigate policy choices. Any given law maker has a handful of issues that they really care about, for which they are willing to spend political capital. Everything else is in response to public debate.

>Those articles are about expensive lawsuits fighting over the meaning of the contract

Yes that is generally what breach of contract cases are about...do you think a breach of contract case for extremely complex agreements are any different in nature?

Do you think there are more or less questions regarding interpretation, intent and meaning, with respect to complex agreements or simple agreements? In my experience litigating these matters the more complex an agreement the more protracted the litigation, in fact in some of the jurisdiction I practice there are specific divisions (complex civil litigation divisions) where those types of agreements generally end up.
Which is why I really hope the new space telescope will work, since they can't realistically go out there to fix it.
The whole "PHP bad" shit is really stupid and I bet you 99% of people who make those witty snarks would not be able to build something like this
Yeah, that sucks big time. I can accept the closed ecosystem, not being able to use open protocols. If you wan't to do something far away from known standards, then this might be a requirement. But locking users into the service like this gets into the way of their general stance.

Perhaps they plan to introduce custom domains in future? Maybe this just didn't fit into the initial release?
For every new company, it is a challenge for every company to market its product but few companies hit early success by coming up with new and unique marketing strategies, every company is a startup in the initial stage. Either the product should be unique or the marketing strategy.
Apple does have cost.

Specifically in the case of Hey:

* Bandwidth to deliver the app to each user that downloads it

* App Store Review requires human beings, so there's paying those people

* There's also generally maintenance of the App Store servers, backend software, etc.

In the past, I'm sure Basecamp (the app) was featured somewhere on the App Store and thus got featured and brought more eyeballs to the app. These features are done by actual people and there's a cost there.

Any store has a cost. Lets say Basecamp were to be able to side load. Now they'd have:

* Bandwidth for delivery of the app for each download

* Cost to maintain their servers

* They'd have to maintain whatever delivery system they had to write in order to provide the same features of the App Store

* They'd have more support costs as well because can the average person understand side loading? What happens when that goes wonky? Now it's on their support team to handle that business too.

Apple provides a lot of value there.

Edit: Jesus... I hate the formatting options on this site..
My point is that the bible (old and new testament) are still considered the basis of christianity.
Priests and religious teachers still pick and choose stories from the old testament. And its not just the old testament. Ever read the book of revelations? Still wondering why Israel has a pretty hardcore military?

Or, lets talk about the split-offs. Ever talked to a Seventh-day Adventist? Do you know what keeps them going? The book of revelations is what keeps them going. Because it promises them that all their enemies will be roasted by god at some point. Pretty fucked up as the fundamental driving force in a belief-system.

My opinion still stands: All the major religions on this planet have such a broken legacy that all we can do is to get rid of them completely.
Wirecard's massive fraud has been documented for over a decade, but the German financial oversight group BAFIN refused to do their job and investigate the fraud claims: https://valueandopportunity.com/2020/06/19/wirecard-the-germ...

There are some real lessons here about journalism, efficient markets, govt oversight, and truth prevailing in the very long run.
> Why does Apple need revenue from Basecamp (or any content provider)? They don't have any cost whatsoever associated with this content deliver

I see it partly as a response to the fact that the industry is moving from one-time purchases to subscription-billing. Apple were always able to make their cut from the one-off sale of a $34.99 premium application. Now that the app is available for a $2.99/month subscription from the developer, Apple have to recover the lost caused by the shift to subscription models somehow.

And they certainly do have costs associated with content delivery. There's the trivial costs (bandwidth, hosting, etc.), and the larger overheads associated with R&D, developer review, continually fighting security risks, and so on.

>> Apple has a minority share of the smartphone market, so antitrust does not apply.

That's literally an Apple to Oranges comparison. Market share is not a requirement for illegality under the Sherman Act, as an example.
Apple forces Hey's app in front of unsuspecting users with App Store promotions. If the app doesn't provide any value to a random person who comes across it in the App Store, that doesn't mean it should be banned from the App Store. That means it should be banned from promotion in the App Store.

Hey should still be able to link its users directly to the App Store entry and otherwise make it unlisted in the App Store.

Apple can find a creative way to tax this if they wanted, but what is the yearly developer fee for if not a fee for distribution and security/compliance certifications?

Apple needs to stop conflating distribution on their platform with promotion on their platform. Not every app needs both. 30% cut only makes sense in a publishing deal where Apple promotes the product in the storefront.
Not renaming the default branch of your version control system is not inaction. You should first ask: does it make sense and does it accomplish anything? While the cause is just, you still have the right to nuance your thoughts and actions, and not decide to ban words "just in case".

Let's be honest, the world isn't going to be better because the default branch of git is called main instead of master, but it will probably be slightly worse if you impoverish the language of hundreds of millions of people, which also happens to be the main international language.

As maushu said above there are much more meaningful targets.

Apple's stance on IAP isn't unknown, Spotify fought them and eventually just started charging a 30% premium on iOS subscriptions. Hey could do the same thing and likely will, but a public fight in the meantime is generating buzz.

They were probably surprised they got 1.0 approved, I certainly would have been. Apple says they made a mistake approving it, which is not unheard of, and them clearly identified the guidelines they're breaking.

Basecamp is full of smart and prominent people who know what they're doing. I can't believe they didn't predict or plan for this scenario when it's one of the most obvious to me.
This is the extension I was looking for.
I’m not blindly trusting; I don’t trust you at all because you are not arguing in good faith. You still never provided sources. One or two Wikipedia articles exist about every wrongheaded belief; why should I believe them if you don’t have anything more convincing, even if it’s just more convincing to you?

Regarding the sources you did provide, the articles you cited themselves are ambiguous about the factual, provable nature of your claims. More sources are required to make any kind of argument. Please pick a couple more sources, even ones from the Wikipedia article, or I’ll continue seeing your comments as not in good faith. If you can’t point at sources, I can’t just take your word for it. Neither one of us likely was present for these events, and anecdotes don’t get us anywhere we haven’t already been in this discussion.

The store already takes a cut, to pay for the store. All that is covered. Like every other app.

So, the 'enforcers' have to be paid? ( the reviewers that keep any money from slipping thru Apples' fingers )? That's the whole story? They are already paid for by the store cut as well (like every other app).
The studies already exist, though. I don't think any of them questions the fact that monasteries benefited greatly from serfdom/slavery; the dispute is about how horrible it was for the rest of the population. (Random Wikipedia quote: "Tibetan communist Phuntso Wangye recalled his anger at seeing freshly severed human ears hanging from the gate of the county headquarters in Damshung north of Lhasa in 1945".)
Are you suggesting the drama with Apple was part of their marketing?

The name “paravirtualization” is sort of misleading. It has more to do with history of virtualization than anything to do with technical aspects of it. The intention was to separate it from full on emulation, which is much slower. All modern virtualization is paravirtualization, unless you’re trying to emulate something specifically, e.g. develop for an ARM µc on an x64 workstation.

Technically it just means there’s a client & server components and they communicate through some IPC. In this example you’re talking to a GPU driver running on the host, instead of the GPU directly. The communication goes through a VM boundary, the host driver accesses the device, then returns the result through the boundary, once more. You could just as well do all of this via a network socket, it would just be a little slow.

When you “pass-through” a device the guest is talking to it directly, all the host has to do is set up the IOMMU to limit the guest and the device from accessing the host’s or other guests’ memory. Basically VLANs for PCIe and the IOMMU is a firewall.
I was thinking the cheeky thing to do is charge $100,000 for the in app version. It’s technically there but even if someone clicked it almost no cc would allow the charge through.
Jump in here to share some of my random views as a mainland Chinese for what CCP did to Tibet and Xinjiang, and China in general.

I have said somewhere else and to my western friends many times that despite all the horrible things CCP has done or might just have been pinned on to it by Western propaganda, CCP did three great things to China, Tibet and Xinjiang as well:

1. Liberation of women

I couldn't emphasize enough of it. China as a country, including Tibet and Xinjiang, by the country's law, women are equal to men. Mao Zedong himself said women are half the sky. Yes there are inequalities of course, there are no institutional discrimination against women.

2. Literacy education

CCP went extra miles to teach poor people to read and write. Han Chinese has a tradition of valuing education but it was a privilege just among privileged class. After 1949, CCP launched many campaigns to teach soldiers and peasants read and write. And CCP also made it law of 9 years free education for everyone, even for those living in the remotest villages, though it took years to actually achieve that.

3. Freed Chinese from the burden of religion

This is debatable according to if you are religious or not. Combined with advancement of education and science, Chinese people believe in science and technology. Now many Chinese are puzzled by the now anti-science movements, such as anti-vaccine or flat earth theory in the U.S.

At least in the decades after opening up, CCP also tried hard to bring those to Tibet and Xinjiang. I hate romantization of the old golden religious days of Tibet and Xinjiang and anywhere in the world. It means only one thing: a few privileged ruling the majority with religion, cult and brutality.

Mobile Application Development Cost – Things to Consider
Odd then that there's a U. Chicago Safe Spaces program - https://inclusion.uchicago.edu/lgbtq-student-life/ways-to-ge... .

Here's a quote, from https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9601 :

> “At the University of Chicago, we insist that all faculty and students are free to debate, disagree, and argue, without fear of being silenced,” Dean of Students Dr. John (Jay) Ellison wrote in a letter welcoming incoming freshmen to campus.

You'll read the 2021 letter doesn't use the term "safe space", unlike in 2020 (where quoting https://www.nbcnews.com/news/education/university-chicago-we... ):

> Ellison wrote, "we do not support so-called 'trigger warnings,' we do not cancel invited speakers because their topics might prove controversial, and we do not condone the creation of intellectual 'safe spaces' where individuals can retreat from ideas and perspectives at odds with their own."

See, the thing is, a "safe space" isn't about "retreat[ing] from ideas and perspectives at odds with their own", it's about giving people a place to speak out 'without fear of being silenced'.

That misunderstanding may have lead to the removal of "safe spaces" from this year's letter.
Both sides need to use the app in contact tracing, therefore an Android only app is near useless. Anyway, it's open source and you can see third party enthusiast test results on GitHub. Also, Australia and Germany followed a similar path which you can see in the tech news.

Apple's behavior here is actually pretty horrible and definitely illegal but yeah DHH has been hilariously loud in his war here. Granted he probably has to be to fight the largest company in the world with 50 people.

I’ve been using it for about 3 days so far.

The product is pretty great regardless of the funny spelling, they are launching a business version in a few months to allow you to bring your own custom domains. The notable twists I’ve seen so far is the inbox filtering logic that allows you to blatantly say “I don’t want emails from this address ever.” Gmail’s “mark spam” stuff doesn’t quite work for this and stuff eventually gets unmarked. It’s like the worlds easiest unsubscribe with no run around with unsubscribe dark patterns. The privacy stuff looks pretty good too. It seems to me that the iOS app is unbelievably fast (ironic considering...) like time to go from closed app to “see new emails” is easily A few seconds faster than both Gmail and Outlook. I’m tempted to pay to be honest. I’ve been really happy. But then there’s the whole “will I ever get an updated iOS app?” Thing that puts water on that.

Edit: why am I being downvoted? The Head of the House Antitrust Commission directly called Apple’s behavior out and the EU announced Investigations of Apple’s behavior. The rest is just my option of a product. Lol
Do we have an estimate as to how many white supremacists there are in the US? I’m genuinely curious, because the popular march in VA had what, a few hundred? I realize that may not be the entire population. There’s probably more anti-vaxxers than white supremacists at this point.

I don’t understand how people think there’s a white supremacist base that has a ton of power in this country.
