The online "user data" business model is identical to the highway, or the magazine, or the mall, or the airport business model. You create traffic by providing access at or below cost, and make money by selling ads to all the traffic you create. Should highways, airports or magazines pay users money from the revenue they generate by selling ads around their high traffic properties?

Another consideration is about the proportion of an ad's cost that can be attributable to the data these companies have, which depends on the degree to which the ad is targeted or not. For example, are keyword-tied search ads and the money Google makes from them related at all to any data they may have on you?

Furthermore, any attempt to account for the "price" of used data (basically just something to id you online) should be matched by a valuation of the true value this companies offer in compensation. In the case of google: what's the value to users from having fast, accurate search; petabytes upon petabytes of free content (from the mundane to the educational) on youtube ($5 - $9/mo if you go by Disney+/Netflix prices); and entire office suite ($5 - $12/mo looking at many SaaS/Office 365) kept up to date; a quality email client ($99/yr for Hey); a free OS for your phone and computer (Android/Chromebooks); a high quality global mapping service w/ turn-by-turn GPS ($300 devices back in the day?); a Calendar ($3 - $9/mo looking at competitors), 15GB of cloud storage; unlimited storage for all your photos in the cloud (say the average user has 50Gb of photos, thats $3 - $9/mo).... and I could go on. In the case of Facebook I believe there is genuine value in having a directory of all your friends/acquaintances/family, and a repository for memories either there or on instagram.

I see the techlash and policies like this data-dividend as a very natural impulse from society to get a spoonfull from the honeypot these companies created. Just because it is natural doesn't mean it is right. Our economic model is premised on the idea that the fruits of your labor/property/ideas are yours to keep, however spectacular they may be. Keep in mind that this policy does nothing to change the way this companies operate, or question their overall effects on society.
There is a miscommunication /somewhere/ about what the motivation for high rep users is.

Even in this exchange there is someone who stated that people get points for closing posts (that's wrong).

With that set of preconceptions about how Stack Overflow works, the "someone down voted me" and "someone closed my question" become attacks on the person meant to increase the points of the other person.

The actions of curation aren't intended to be unwelcoming - but when held in the "all actions on my posts are judgements about me" it becomes a question of "can this be solved?"

One of the things that is disappointing is that someone who can speak with the voice of Stack Overflow corporate isn't actively pursuing social media (HN, Reddit, etc...) and helping to correct these misperceptions.
So, where did Stripe go wrong?

It says in the article (and I've heard this in other places) you could start using Stripe "with only seven lines of code." Sounds like a JavaScript snippet you drop in, so the whole thing could be contained in one 15 line HTML page.

It's not like this now.

I recently set up Stripe and used AWS with a Lambda function, following a tutorial, to accept the token and the message back from the server and etc. You know the drill.

I mean it's not insanely hard but it's sure as hell not "seven lines of code." It is definitely hard enough to deter junior devs who can code up HTML+CSS and basic JS, and maybe even a simple React page. I can easily see someone reading about the API token and responding to the API token on your server and being like "oh shit" and dropping out.

So why can't it be like that anymore? It's funny, all these services say "we want payments to be easy" and eventually develop to a point where payments are no longer easy. It seems like either it's a credit card or it's complicated - nothing in between.
It was stated the demo hardware is the DTK (available this week), which includes an A12Z processor from the latest iPad Pro coupled with 16 GB RAM.
The last Macs that will support Boot Camp will be the best selling Macs for years.

Much like the 2015 Macbook Pro I expect you'll be able sell it for more than you paid for it years later.
And I reckon those of us who just bought a shiny new Intel Mac in the past few months might be questioning our decision. Should have held on to that 2010 MBP one more year?
Seems like Intel is dying an accelerating death. The unified software stack across Mac, iPhone, and iPad apps might unleash a new level of focus and innovation for Apple.
yeah all the UI updates this year seem to be on the theme of stitching up the gaps between macOS and iPadOS.

I'm guessing that when the "two year" transition to all-ARM arch on the mac is complete, they'll merge them.
I wonder what happens to folks like Ninja with big exclusive deals.
macOS's gaming story has always been pretty abysmal. They nuked a ton of games when they dropped 32-bit support, and they refuse to implement the graphics API that the gaming industry is standardizing around. I don't foresee any improvements in Mac gaming from this announcement.
So, if I install numpy via conda on a Mac now, it's backed by Intel MKL and is thus amazingly fast. What will it be replaced with? Has anyone at Apple thought about use cases like this?..
What is really sad is that I don't think the majority of Apple consumers really understand what this means for the Intel macs in the long run. I fear a number of people will buy them not realizing they have a very limited lifespan.
Many of the features users find useful (let's ignore for the moment whether these are good things) like content recommendations and search result recommendations rely on the same understanding of user interests that allow these companies to target advertisements.

So they need to understand your interests anyway to provide the services that people find useful. So they still need forms of tracking to do the things that people find useful on the sites.

So what do we do?
Probably not an SVP, however I have had Apple engineers proactively call me to discuss ways to make non-compliant apps fit their guidelines, and that’s without me complaining at all - they initiated it following the rejection.
> Carol Greider’s 2009 Nobel Prize was based on work inspired by informal phone calls and emails from Bret

She discovered telomerase in 1984 and had decades of research on it. She didn't win the prize from a phone call with Bret.
> Rockets, OTOH, go up vertical for most of the atmosphere and then get horizontal in order to get to orbital speed, preferably where there is little or no atmosphere.

And yet most launch systems have to throttle down the engines during the transition between the two, because the atmosphere is still just a bit too thick to safely plow through it at full tilt.
Woah I think you're right. Sure some apps might work without a touchscreen but that kinda defeats the point?

Unless this feature is just to help on board new apps to macs that were previously only for ios but don't require a touch screen, but that seems like it would be rather niche?

I bet they're actually pivoting towards a product that's "ipad pro + desktop apps" and then they'll try to phase out their "computers" that currently feel like an after thought.
Well, that new MBP I bought 4 weeks ago and planned to keep for 5 years just got a muuuuch shorter life span if I can run iOS apps on an Arm Mac, my wife is going to be livid.

I guess this also means Catalyst’s life span is pretty short and SwiftUI will becomes the focus?

Lungu Takes a Dig at Hichilema over Development
I wouldn't be so sure, there are a fair number of people who want a machine that will run x86 for various reasons. Windows support/ Linux support. Even considering how impressive x86 VMs looked in the demo, lots of people will prefer using intel silicon for guaranteed compatibility.
Did you check out their Software Updates Blog? https://netsential.com/default.aspx?menuitemid=289&menugroup...
They can review the code in app review

Edit: seems I’m wrong
I am unsure this is the answer you were looking for but I do make a distinction. I've been working remotely for 10+ years, and the 3 months of lockdown were the worst I've had, for the simple reason that _my family was locked in with me_.

I am sure remote working is not for everyone, but I like it.

Yet, I live in an apartment, my kids can't go out to play and can't be expected to behave all the time, me and my spouse have to sync up call times so one of us can be on top of the occasional emergency etc.

We're lucky compared to people who lost their job or had reduced income, but I'm not looking forward to more work-during-lockdown.
Yup, not enabling javascript is akin to using an outdated browser for better or for worse.
I wonder what the cost of the transition mini is.
This exists in Chicago, San Francisco and probably a host of other markets , for apartment leasing. It's actually really helpful for both the tenant and the landlord. Goes a long way to reducing uncertainty, addressing the maze of regulations, and closing loopholes.
I expect it will be a refresh of the line for "back to school" in September, and then new ARM-based at Christmas.
Apple confirms Mac transition to ARM CPUs, Rosetta 2 Intel emulation
Not even running it very well. All the graphics settings were turned down, the framerate looked choppy and it was only running in 1080p.
It already has. I'll Def try to get my hands on the A12Z Mac Mini. The GPU performance should be vastly better than existing Mac Mini options.
I'm in the market for a new laptop, and if I knew how long the Intel macs would be supported, I could see myself picking one up. Unfortunately, nothing was said about that so I guess I'm holding off.
That’s got to be coming, but maybe just wasn’t ready to demo today.
storj.io already does this.
>stars like Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, Cory “King Gothalion” Michael, and Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek — will be released from their contracts, and Microsoft says it’s up to them where they decide to go.

>“It’s up to them and their priorities,” says Vivek Sharma, the head of Facebook Gaming, meaning the platform isn’t actively pursuing exclusive agreements with any of Mixer’s biggest names.

gen2 constellation is at 350km agl
shortwave f-layer is at 200-400km agl depending on space weather

difference is not that big
It’s not about the game, it’s about running performance-dependent code written for x86 on an ARM chip. A lot harder to fake a stable frame rate in a game than in Photoshop.
the async await example is python, the rest of the code is zig
Is it just me or did apple just bungle this entire announcement by not announcing a consumer facing ARM MacOS device, only a hot-rodded Mac Mini with an iPad Pro chip inside.

How many devs actually have the setup in place to use a non mobile device?

I also wonder if the current+last gen iPad Pro that has the new keyboard + trackpad case will gain the ability to run Xcode and native macOS apps in the near future.
Mice Lives Matter
Anyone know of similar lectures for the SICM (Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics) book that Sussman also wrote?

I'm also interested in creating a study group to go through the book in Clojure, if possible.
Native virtualization and the ability to run iPhone and iPad apps directly on the Mac. This could unlock a whole new level of focus and optimizations for Apple.
The advantage Apple has is that Nvidia and AMD and Intel have to actually make money from their chips. Apple can break even or make a loss on the chips themselves.

So maybe, they certainly have the budget to try.
Those are the rumored "iPad Pro" aesthetic Macs which were initially rumored to be released today.
as far as toolbar icons, it looked like the opposite to me.

They are getting some shadows back into launch icons, but everything else is going flatter.
If those devices will have 4-5 years worth of use, then I think most people would be fine with the purchase. 4-5 years already does require upgrading for either performance or quality of life features.
Arm and AArch64 Assembly Resources
I was waiting for Craig to say that every Mac with a T-series chip could be used as a dev platform, since they're pretty strong on their own. Oh well. Maybe to smooth things over they'll ship an A-series co-processor with those Macs.

Apple released a bunch of PPC Macs after they announced the switch to Intel, so this isn't unprecedented.
For those who are comfortable sharing their data, it is a fair payment by definition. Otherwise they wouldn't do it. Especially because Google has alternatives that you're not forced into.
Personally I'd rather grab one of those as my daily driver, and wait a few years for all the issues to get worked out during the transition.
Interestingly, this indicates that the streaming market is saturated, and Mixer simply had no room to grow. The analysts probably didn't realize their gamble was a zero-sum game.

Ninja & Shroud weren't enough to tip the scales and Mixer had zero traction. Of course they will be fine, but it sucks for the smaller streamers that hitched their wagons to Mixer and are now left to hold the proverbial bag. Even more telling is that Microsoft is burying this news under WWDC20, probably embarrassed about the entire snafu.
I didn't claim to be a fan. How I feel about the success potential of this niche comes merely from observing other gamers (everyone seems to know Deus Ex, Dishonored, etc. and mostly everyone praises these and would like to play more games like that; that's probably also why there's so much hype for e.g. Cyberpunk 2077, and CDPR is obviously trying to capitalize on the success of immersive 1st person cyberpunk fps-rpgs).

I might be a fan, but I rarely buy new games myself, so extrapolating anything at all from my gaming habits probably tells nothing about the market at large. I generally don't buy any new game unless it's DRM-free, has native Linux support OOTB, and doesn't come with crazy overpriced moneygrab editions or a shitload of DLC.
I noticed that too. Might have trademark or legal reasons though. Technically, if they're able to dynamically translate x86 to ARM as they've explicitly stated (with JIT of JS and the JVM as the example) they should be able to dynamically translate x86 VMs regardless of what OS they contain, which would allow x86 Windows to be virtualized with better-than-interpreted performance.

Or at least that's what I hope ;-) I'm relying on running x86 Windows and Linux within Parallels in addition to native MacOS Apps to do my daily work, which involves compiling and testing x86 binaries for these platforms, so whether this virtualization thing actually runs x86 OSes transparently is an absolute make-or-break feature for me to continue my usage of the MacOS platform for work.
I mean, it didn't look like a stable frame rate to me.
"We are asking you to sign a written authorization giving DDP the authority to act as your authorized agent to exercise your legal rights under the CCPA."

OK, so first question - what is this DDP entity?

A "movement" doesn't tell me who or what entity I am assigning agency to, endorsing, giving money to, etc.

The article omits this key piece of information and nor does the website disclose on a cursory glance! Is it a gov org? nonprofit, for profit, coop, other? And equally important: who legally runs/owns it? Am I missing the obvious here?!

Without a clear and upfront answer to the basics here, I would not recommend anyone blindly engage with / opt into anything like this regardless of whose brainchild it is.
This conversation will definitely be easier to follow if you get up to speed first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_20...

Where is the evidence that the level of misinformation is any higher now than in the past,

See the above overview for a start.

History has shown that we didn't need to censor and oppress Communist
thought in the US during the Cold War because of its alleged threat,
and even because Communist thought was being supported by foreign actors

The simalarities to today's situation are easy to see, but they are dwarfed by the differences.

1. "Communists" had no way to create and disseminate information on such a massive scale, in a manner that is nearly indistinguishable from good-faith actors. There's no analog for that in the Cold War's "Red Scare".

2. During the Red Scare, the possibility of Russia infiltrating and influencing the US to any real degree was laughable. It's not laughable now. It demonstrably happened and is happening.

3. "Censorship" is when a person is not allowed to express their views. That is not what is being proposed here. This is about refusing to hand a megaphone to bad actors.

Reality does not conform to your ideals of an egalitarian marketplace of ideas. Content farms with modest funding and modest staffs can outproduce and out-influence millions of regular voices. Relying upon the populace to suddenly become savvy is not realistic. Either we need to turn this into a full-scale information war of competing content farms and state-scale misinformation campaigns, or platform providers need to combat things at that level.

And yet, presumably you were able to employ critical thinking, see past
all this, and vote the "right" way despite an alleged deluge of hateful
misinformation, as were 48%, a majority, of your fellow voters.

Sure, yeah.

I also have an IQ in the 90-99th percentile range, a degree in computer science and have been immersed in online culture since before web browsers existed.

The vast majority of the human race does not have those sorts of advantages. Realize that the HN demographic is not representative of the entire human race.
Will BootCamp continue to be supported for the next ten years on my June 2019 MacBook Pro so I can install an operating system that continues to develop new features with the assumption I'm running on x86-64?
Why not? Windows 10 for ARM can run x86 apps.
These two program ecosystems (and AAA video games with anticheat) are the biggest things that hold a lot of people like me back from using Linux exclusively.
But now games like Fortnite, Minecraft, PUBG etc. that already exist on iOS can natively run on the Mac. So I think that's a pretty big thing
I think iPad mouse support is a better bet: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211008
Ok - but then the issue is - what actually constitutes a mistake?

In the Hey case it does seem like Apple was simply applying it’s rules, and DHH didn’t quite understand them.

As for the justice system - all justice systems are radically tainted in this way.

No system has ever been created which does not have this problem, in all of human history.

If you are expecting Apple to achieve perfect justice, that is fair enough, but it’s also fair to acknowledge that it’s an unsolved problem.

It’s also simply not reasonable for developers to be ‘in fear of capricious rejections’.

It’s fairly predictable, or easily resolved in most cases.
It's a prerecorded, retouched video. I would wait for impartial reviews of the DTK.
Still bikeshedding, but there were some interesting things.
Well-rehearsed, coached, precise, all sound like good things.
Margin calculations include all that. And I suspect most of AWS's marginal cost is _still_ hardware.

The marginal cost of VPC is basically 0. Otherwise they couldn't sell tiny ec2 instances. The only cost differences between t3.micro and their giant ec2 instances are (a) hardware and (b) power.
Linux and Windows have both supported ARM for a while now.
It’s not a demo of their new gaming-class GPU though.
This if anything makes Catalyst more important.
Huh? They have dedicated API.
My comment from a week ago:

"What would keep Apple from shipping machines with both ARM and Intel CPUs in them? The ARM CPU would run the OS and decide when to ship jobs over to the Intel CPU. I can’t imagine that the home-grown ARM CPU would add much to the total price of the computer."

I think this depends on: why are you taking notes?

Sometimes I'll take notes to help me process and remember things. These can literally be throwaway, as in the piece of paper gets thrown away at the end of the day, or the TextEdit window gets closed without saving. So I focus on the material rather than organization on the page, or even legibility/grammar.

Sometimes I'll be very focused on one thing and whenever I encounter a tangent/sidequest, I'll scribble it down so I can feel comfortable ignoring it until I've finished reading.

Sometimes I'll take notes for my own future reference. Sometimes I'll take notes I'd like to share with other people. Those are different goals and I'll do different things.
The last time Apple transitioned to a new architecture, the dev kits were loaners you had to give back.
