Friend of mine is older Russian mathematician - algebraist, in his late 70's. He has small picture of John G. Thompson on his work table.
Thompson made an enormous contribution to the proof. From what I remember reading, part of the proof was formally verified.

It is intersecting to think, that we have proofs that are impossible to grasp in a lifetime. Though, it would be possible to use the results !

Imagine, sometime in a future, humanity would loose the original proof due to some catastrophic event, but it would be know that theorem still holds true.
A cursory glance at Japanese culture and values shows me that America has had far less influence on its development than you believe. On the scale of individuality/community, Japan is further on the opposite side. The anime/manga industry is quite different than anything we have in the West, and a lot of their values tie into the things that are depicted, what's okay, what's not okay, etc. We often see traditional influences on their media that simply don't exist in the West in the same way (comparison of the American and Japanese versions of The Ring: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01956051.2011.5...).

Instead of advertisements, then, it seems like they should do something like politics.facebook.com which includes interviews with candidates, breakdowns of candidate platforms and affiliations, and essays by candidates.

Ads are just an opportunity to sling more mud and incite rage. I want to see some content that I as a voter can actually inform my opinion with. Fair, even, and well-organized to support voters.

Not only that, but it moves people toward having an educated opinion, not getting all gassed up on rage-bait.
We don't need to debate the tradeoffs, but we should acknowledge that there are tradeoffs. If a side-channel is available to all users, developers will spring into action making games, porn, and discount coupon apps that can only be installed via the side-channel...

Bypassing security review. Next thing you know, a goodly number of the world's phones have become surveillance devices, bank account emptiers, DDOS zombies, and bitcoin miners.

Whether the benefits of a side-channel for liberties outweigh the negatives of such a future is a worthy discussion, but we ought to at least acknowledge that the walled garden has some merits above and beyond Apple's stock price.

Some US politicians would love nothing more than for the US dollar to not being used for international exchange. Other countries enjoy the right to devalue their currency for trade and debt. The US has no relief valve mechanism. $1 is worth exactly $1 everywhere in the world. We can't sell cheaper goods to China, for example, without making the products physically cheaper. China can always sell cheaper goods to the US by manipulating the RMB relative to USD.
Once you’re in Apples ecosystem, some of the marketing, app development, and customer support is now handled by Apple. I also don’t see why you have earned access to Apple customers, anymore than you should have access to Alibaba or Walmart customers.

The argument should be why Apple customers should vote with their wallets to tell Apple to move one way or another.
> However, you can opt not to use the App Store.

You cannot really opt not to use the App Store if you want to create apps for that platform.

> If you think that will impact your product, then this confirms that the App Store provides value

I'm not sure it necessarily confirms that. You might want to use it because it adds value. You might need to use it just because it's essentially a monopoly (if you want to reach iPhone users, that is).

If users could directly download apps without going through the store _or_ they could use the store, and people chose to publish their apps on the store then, yes, I would agree, that demonstrates it provides value, and it's reasonable to Apple to charge for that.
I thought it was funny when somebody linked to an "attack map" which was really just a heatmap of the US population (https://xkcd.com/1138/) and then went on to speculate it was the US gov't messing with protestors.

There is one funny resemblance in place to a method ascribed to toddlers - diversion as a strategy. In this case it is diverting deforestation by having higher paying more economically advanced activities than raw resource gathering.

Admittedly a bit "gross" in the paternalistic/imperialist implications but the outcome would be preferred by both the natives and outsiders.

Which also fits in with worries of automation and unemployement and the ironic difficulty in finding good uses for the labor that can support the value. While there may be plenty of decent uses (picking up litter, etc) pairing the utility with a revenue stream is more difficult let alone with a good living standard.
I think you forgot a very important element.

My current employer promotes scrum/agile, so we have sprints with company-wide sprint reviews.

We don't get much value from them because there is little sprint planning, and 2 days before the review there is a push to figure out what is "done" to present.

I have worked on other teams that embraced the planning aspect better and it was a source of reassurance that everyone was on the same page.

The primary value (when I was on a team that did it "right") was the common context that was shared by all and represented in the kanban (literally, sticky notes on the wall and some masking tape). There was transparency and traceability. I'm not sure it made us more "efficiency" or "productive", but i removed a lot of frustration of being in the dark about what the team is doing.
While it's an interesting method I'm doing the same thing but by using RSS feeds and it's way more simple than using a scraping service.

As someone who works at a university in Alberta who is on furlough, this worry’s me because they will delay recalling us even longer. Since our provincial government is hell bent on destroying any form of non Christian learning institutions. Post secondaries have the covid front and the government cut front. Multiple people have volunteered for buyouts but the schools can’t afford the union mandated abolishment terms, being in education in Alberta right now is a career death sentence. Anyone worried about the debt from this needs to relax the majority of this money goes right back into the economy for food, clothing and shelter, and They’re clearly not relying on it for their families survival, it’s a tough nut to casually pivot elsewhere right now.

Isn’t that the opposite of what the text of the law says? Doesn’t it provide for protection when moderate content that “one may find objectionable”, which could basically be anything.
Maybe he tossed out a number he feels comfortable paying in taxes. I worked a bunch of overtime last year as a favor and ended up getting bumped into the ~30% tax bracket for income. I’m feeling pretty ragey about it myself.
Let me give an anecdote, which happened to me:

The last Android phone that I had was a Galaxy Note 4. Along with the bloatware that Samsung pushes and can not be uninstalled, there was an app called Peel Remote. This app is also published to Google Play Store and updated from there.

So, after updating my apps from Play store to latest version, as you are supposed to do, at morning I woke up and saw my home screen was changed and showing an ad. Also, I realized, sometimes a full screen ad pops up, randomly when I was using the phone. After a lot of investigation, I found out the uninstallable app that is included in the phone, Peel "Smart" Remote (the irony), which is published and updated through Play store, silently decided that showing full screen ads and replacing my home screen with ads was a good move, through an update.

There is NO WAY that an update like this could be pushed to Apple's App Store.
I think it is fairly clear that the master/slave nomenclature that is used in our discipline could make a large group of us uncomfortable.

I also feel that aliasing "master" to "trunk" or "main" and then flagging "master" as depreciated would have little cost to users.

I'm not sure how making this change could be considered childish.
Reminds me of the Mocha visualization plug for Winamp from years back [1]. You can code a visualization 'bene' in the built-in language, and open up a window of 'evolved' benes which represented different tweaks to your algorithm.

Chess.com has excellent live coverage of many top chess tournaments. Their paid commentators are almost always engaging and make watching chess informative and exciting.

GP here.

There are a few kinds of launch mechanisms in play here.

It should be possible to open things that are based on links or files in a particular app as a default. This is a good model because there’s already a Files app that allows a desktop file storage/manipulation method (same with files received over email or opened from a browser).

Then you also have apps that are launched directly (without a file or URL as trigger). Couple of examples: you can swipe left on the lock screen to access the Apple camera app (or press the camera icon on the bottom right). Why shouldn’t this be as seamless to launch a better third party camera app (of which there are many)? As for calculator, the one launched from Control Center is always the Apple Calculator app. It’s not possible to launch another one as easily without adding it into the widgets area in the search screen (which may already be crowded). These two examples don’t require special hardware enablement (like the Apple Pay trigger required), and can improve the lives of many users.
I, for one, am looking forward to the triumphant return of the web counter.

I live in a country with a real dictator (although not on paper), unchecked police that's just an instrument in the hands of the government, and while no one here has any fondness of the Bulgarian police as an institution or our cops, I don't have any issues with the words "police" and "cop".

"works on my machine"

Additionally I haven't seen a single comment that is "acerbically against it" just calm people making reasonable arguments to not virtue signal. Especially in a way that doesn't even make sense.

When people complain about the OSS community and github this is what they mean. A bunch of rando's who had nothing to do with a project chiming in with breaking changes bec of their feelings. It really is a great example of what the GP is talking about.
Yep I had the same issue and thought when I got to finalkey. I hit a random site after that and landed on another site where I couldn't find the link.

I've actually found that it doesn't usually make a noticeable difference for soy yogurt whether I heat the yogurt to 45 °C or some lower temperature or even at all, at least when using a electric yogurt maker (or other device with active heating). Maybe I need to try them side-by-side because I assume there's some reason many people suggest heating the milk first.

I just mix the existing soy yogurt with soy milk, both of which only consist of soybeans, water, and cultures which seems to be the most reliable option. It involves virtually no effort this way.

What's the issue of Apple Runtime choosing what's running?
You are buying a bundle of apple hardware+runtime, that's what's in the box. For hardware that you can replace the OS choose another device.

To me the solution seems more with being able to choose which OS I can put on some metal. iOS is very sepecific OS for a specific metal, it shouldn't need to cater to everything.

The thing about Android and windows in the past (about IE and GApps) is very different in Apple's as it is selling a combo. That metal-runtime integration, those envirnment consistency, that cathedral instead of bazaar, is why people buy iphones, not Androids or Libres.
On the other hand though reducing taxes and spending less on services results in the community being impacted. In this case, if Canada hadn't stopped supplying PPE and stock piling it, early on there would have likely been more supplies available for long-term care homes and nurses which would have helped fight the spread and protect the vulnerable early on. Also, in theory going back to 15% GST instead of the 13% HST would bring back a lot of money to offset the CERB payments. It's tough because there doesn't seem to be a correct answer as if we do spend more money on government initiatives it goes to lobbying/bureaucracy/friends and family.
Is this not working? I don't see a site listing and the /random.html path doesn't load either…

Have you ever looked at the history of the app store? When iPhone was first released, there was no app store. Instead Steve Jobs said:

>There’s no SDK that you need! You’ve got everything you need if you know how to write apps using the most modern web standards to write amazing apps for the iPhone today.

Before the app store, Jailbreakers were already distributing apps for the iPhone. The only reason there are no competing app stores for iPhone os because apple prohibits it. Over on Android there are competing stores. The smaller have very small market share, yet they do exist and have other rules. Apple is using the fact that they make iPhone to force developers to pay a 30% cut.

Make it all dumb pipes and make users responsible for regulating what they see/hear. Make a market for filtering content, one great filter across a platform is not flexible.

Require platforms over a certain size to provide real-time data accessibility across platforms. Facebook and Twitter are monopolies by virtue of market position, anyone can build a platform that is functionally the same. Create competition here.

While I sympathize with the idea of losing 30% of your revenue just paying to play, I struggle to see Apple as being somehow "extortionate" as others have suggested.

While they didn't invent the App Store as a concept, they did popularize it, and built the software platform (iOS) that allows the apps to run, as well as built the tools and frameworks (swift, Xcode, etc) for building said apps, as well as built the hardware that the software runs on (iPhone), and then spent billions in marketing to popularize the idea of using "mobile apps" in the first place (ie. Remember there's an app for that?).

In addition, when you sell on the App Store, you get free distribution in front of the highest income, most desirable segment of smartphone buyers--because that's the customer base Apple has invested billions in building and cultivating over 40+ years.

Given the above, how is 30% extortionate vs. 20%? It is their platform. Anybody can choose to only create apps for Android instead.
This is all good, until someone in Product changes the requirements. Now instead of 3 and 5 they need 7 and 11.

All these clever tricks will require a complete re-write and re-test. And since the company decided to pick theit employees based on how they answer these tricky interview questions, the code base is full of opaque idiosyncrasies with unexpected dependencies. Four sprints later, the code is put into production and some other part breaks, causing the company millions.
I’ve never considered GitHub to be “fun.” It’s a great tool, though.

Probably because the Epic Store takes a 12% cut. That they mention the Steam store is very telling - Epic and Steam have been in a spat over this. I highly doubt its a coincidence that their number matches Epic's exactly.
Record CO2 level and temperatures highlight need for action on World Environment
> The single best move Europe could make would be to limit any digital stores to maximum 12% commission.

An app store ballot with mandatory permission for third party stores (save perhaps a small list of rules such as not a dedicated piracy service, but with no editorial lines at all) would be the best.

Then Apple's app store would have to compete in the market. If customers love it's curation as much as some people claim it has nothing to worry about.
But when the App Store is the only place apps can be published for iOS, and more than half of worldwide mobile app revenue is made there, there's no competition.

With respect, this feels like a goose-with-the-golden-eggs scenario. If we take away Apple's App Store revenues, won't their investment in iOS suffer? Which means they'll make it less attractive? Next thing you know, Apple has joined the Android market in a race-to-the-bottom.

That would be a nice windfall for Google and Samsung, but if their revenue reflects the value users place on their products, all we've done is remove an option from consumers, and the end up with less choice.

I'm not sure we can disrupt their business model without taking something away from consumers.
You'd have to charge $143 in order to make your target of $100 after Apple takes its 30%.
Better forbid locking hardware into using specific software. This would also kill bad parts of Intel ME and UEFI, leaving the good parts.
the obvious solution would be to breakup monopoly - force Apple to divest AppStore as a separate company and allow Apple to accept third-party appstores
everyone always says this as if housing and the economy are two separate things.

you cannot have a strong economy while housing has crashed.

housing is at the top of the needs hierarchy. when people have money they will put as much as they can into housing. so if the govt gives everyone $10,000, probably 30-50% of that will flow to housing. that doesn't mean that their intention or only goal is to "support the housing market."

It would appear to me this is the perfect solution for Hey then. Put a purchase option in the app with a clear statement you can get 30% off the subscription price just by going to the website. It could even look like a great offer to prospective customers: 'hey I just needed to go to the website to get a 30% discount!'.

Any reason why they wouldn't just do this instead of trying to fight Apple on their (in this case IMO pretty egregious) rules?

> How do you know if Apple will be able to sustain an app store with that number?

I suspect part of the problem is that Apple could be creative with its finances and make sure that just about any cut that isn't 30% means they can't sustain an app store. Apple earns an insane amount of money, they could get by with 0% commission just fine, but it's not in their interests to ever admit that.

Sure, 12% is made up, but the result of just about any negotiation is a made up number that sits somewhere between what one party wants and what the other party demands. It's just the nature of it.
Thanks! Btw, what would be the open source alternative (of APL) that is popular and used in production?
