OP didn't say Apple was breaking the law. They said that they need to be regulated. There's a difference. Make all the equivalences you want, at the end of the day the government has a mandate to regulate business practice to benefit the consumer. If that means treating a mobile phone as a platform but not a game console, so be it.
FreeRTOS isn't really a microkernel. It arguably doesn't really have a kernel.

Also, Genode is a user land. Saying Genode and sel4/fiasco is like saying Debian _and_ Linux.

Isn't HIP+ROCm a serious "competitor" to CUDA? You can convert your code automatic from CUDA to HIP. At least that's why the advertising says; I haven't used it myself. Plus, PyTorch and Tensorflow have AMD support, I thought.
How do you retrieve a surface sample on a direct-entry mission?
7 direct reports is very normal for a manager. One thing to dig into is whether they think 7 direct reports is too many for you (as opposed to anyone) and they just don't want to say it directly. This could be because they think you are spending too much time on IC tasks (coding) and won't be able to handle that many, you're too junior (recently started managing), or there are other issues going on with you or the other lead that your senior management hasn't been explicit about. You can do this constructively by asking more about what they'd be looking for to show that you could handle that scope and how to set goals/improve to get there.

I wonder what revealing how the algorithm works will impact content creators? We have entire industries built on poking at Google Search and Instagram to build exposure.

My prediction is that this levels the playing field, but doesn't solve the problem of people gaming algorithms to do what they want. The less shrouded the algorithm, the less snake oil that can be sold which is probably for the best.

Amazon does the same thing. You can lose more on a return than you make on a regular order. Amazon makes more on many orders than sellers do.
I find it unlikely that even the homebrew community will be able to install Mac OS 11 on any non-apple hardware without emulation for a good long while because Apple is likely going to lock down their software to only run on their hardware, much like how iOS can't be run on an Android device without an emulator.
Whether it's rational (or correct) to ban them is a very different question. I think it's simply false as a matter of fact that AR-style rifles have been common since they were invented. They hit the civilian market in 1964, but I've never seen information suggesting they were common or popular until the 90s.

Deepfakes: A Grounded Thread Assessment (CSET)
The Economist paper edition has a spread with summarized news for the past week. I have been thinking of isolating myself from the news cycle and keeping myself up-to-date with a one week latency, using the Economist's summaries. The problem is, I have not found a suitable replacement for national (in my case Swedish) and also local news. Would also pay for a similar aggregator.

- If the more desperate and less in-demand individual writes bad code, or makes poor judgements, you will be able to see it in their submission, won't you?

- Whereas if such an individual, because of their desperation or lack of demand, has enough time and motivation to elegantly solve the problem, then what's not to like?

I think a greater concern would be that with take-home assignments it's impossible to be sure you are actually evaluating the right individual. How can you be sure they didn't receive help from someone else?
So basically I want to buy Panasonic or Sony HTL BDs for archiving and store them somewhere dark and dry?

Unfortunately that data is eight years old and I'm not even sure if Panasonic and Sony even make BD-Rs anymore. Seeing a lot of out of stock Japanese imports on Amazon.de for both of them. I can really only find Verbatim BD-Rs and they didn't really perform that well in the comparisons.

I've actually been interested in BD archiving for a bit but haven't gotten into it yet because of the initial costs. I have about 1.1 TB of data that I'd like to archive for the long-term.

Regardless of your judgement about self-experimentation, and regardless of the fact that a whitepaper is explicitly not a peer-reviewed journal article, the whitepaper [1] is a very interesting and carefully considered document.

They argue throughout that multi-dose nasal vaccines are a severely underlooked avenue for localized immunization.

A main criticism is that an untested vaccine might unintentionally enhance the actual disease. They argue that antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) specifically is less likely because the immune response of the intranasal vaccine is limited to the mucosal tissue [2].

Anti-monopoly legislation seems like a good starting place. Game console app stores are, at least in my opinion, equally exploitative, but Apple is one of the most problematic publishers out there. Being able to run whatever software you want on general purpose hardware isn't what this is about (although you should be able to, as the FSF has been saying for years). It's that Apple can't monopolise the market like this, so the government should be able to force them to allow competing app stores.

The article made me think that the guy who rejected the proposition rejected it because it would have lessened the importance of his ministry as most of the job within could have been automated if the project turned out to be successful.

I'd also say that great social skills are just as important today. Society is not meritocratic, you can have best idea, the best solution to a problem if you can't sell it or react appropriately to criticism (even to you coworkers) you're going to be frustrated. I'd that sometimes include being "cunning" if the person you're talking to is not being honest you don't have to be either.

Other than games, MS is a 15/85 (or 5/95 split if the customer purchases via following a deep link from the publisher’s site or app) split on digital sales.
It's a bit different when a company is completely voluntarily engaging in self-destructive behavior - when it comes to the app store it is voluntary that folks post their apps there but Apple has an absolute monopoly on the market.
Cool! I'm curious, how do you compare your service to Scale (scale.com)?
> $5k a month income would get you living like a king here (with in house nanny)

Comparing just dollar value of services is not of much use across countries.

It's like saying, interest rate in India is 6% while in US it's 1% why Americans are not putting their money in India. The info you are missing is inflation.

5k is not a lot in mega US cities and these guys will not move to some cheap city because they'll not find a job that pays that well and gives them ability to support such a high quality of life in smaller/cheaper cities.

Facebook are smart.

Ask HN: Options for Remote Work
Like many of you, I'm a software engineer employed by a Bay Area company and I will not need to go back to the office for at least 9 months. I plan to live in the Bay Area once Covid has passed, but I'd like to use the prevalence of remote work to my advantage.

Ideally, I work and travel in either Southeast Asia or Europe. I think there are several considerations for this:
1) Working hours – This is not a concern for me. I stay up past 3am regularly.
2) Infrastructure - Need to ensure workable internet speeds.
3) Covid restrictions – I'm willing to quarantine in South Korea or Britain for 2 weeks.
4) Visa – I'm a US citizen only. Can I work for a California company on a travel visa? I would not conduct any business in-person while Im there (meetings, working from offices, etc). My company will not sponsor me without a legitimate business case.
5) Taxes – Not sure about this. I think this depends on what Visa I use and requires my company to have representation in the country.

Would love to hear from some folks that have tried this before or know their way around visas

> Apple and Google may be competitors, strictly speaking, but the reality is they've pretty well carved up the market between premium buyers mostly concerned with fit+finish, prestige, and compatibility with other Apple devices, and the operating system and network infrastructure for, well, everything else.

Somehow there are heaps of expensive android phones that sell just fine. The flagship Samsung phones cost more than any iPhone.

I did add little hack in the lexer for autocompletion of partial input. But my hope though is to keep most of that logic in the parser and not the lexer? Though it is true I was thinking of breaking up the exact regex we talked about for similar reasons, e.g. a single token:

' [^']* '

vs. 3 tokens

'
[^']*
'

I think the latter could be better for completion of paths in quotes, which bash does, but I haven't revisited it yet.

Unfortunately, this does not seem to be suitable for replacing Typeform, as the design is not really competing with the design that Typeform is providing. Quick look at the three examples on the landing page shows inconsistent white-spacing, poor contrast, not-ideal color matchings and outdated design in the forms (especially the bullets from the example in the middle, that almost look like a bug).

It's great to see a platform focused on security though, as Typeform has less-than-stellar record regarding that.

Something else that quickly got noticed was the long loading times when changing page.

Would be awesome to see "offline forms" feature though, maybe you could share a bit on how you are thinking of the implementation of that? When I used to work at Typeform (many many years ago), we had some smaller chats around it, and I think we always ended up in the corner of either having the users needing to keep the browser tab open until online (feels unlikely) or providing a native app for supporting background tasks.
Valve has an interesting talk about this with respect to VAC [1]. Which like you suggest relies heavily on statistical evidence from multiple replays in order to detect cheats.

In CSGO's case they test it against their existing system Overwatch which uses player moderators to detect cheats). With their other big title dota as far as I'm aware its fully automated.

At what stage in its existence was Facebook in any way open? It was a walled garded from its inception - initially restricting access to college students only. In fact I never did and still do not consider Facebook as "the web". There is the web and then there is Facebook. The two just use similar technologies but live apart.
> I am also okay with following semver but being allowed to release major versions that dont necessarily warrant "breaking changes."

Then, to be blunt, you are not following SemVer

> Software has milestones. Lets make them obvious.

SemVer is about signalling to clients what expectations they should have by being able to look at your version number changes. If you don't follow it then you are confusing your clients.

> If from 0.0.1 to 0.7.4 you had like 5 major changes but nothing was broken API wise those should of been 5 major releases...

Anything <1.0.0 is already, by definition, subject to any change so your example is a bit off.

However SemVer, in my opinion, is primarily used for libraries that are part of systems of dependency resolution.

If you have a desktop app used by end-users then I wouldn't recommend using SemVer, just do what marketing requires.

How to Create Content for Lead Generation (Gated vs. Ungated)

I think the business concept missing from Agile is investment/ROI and risk. Until budgeting processes are also Agile, everyone will be operating on the idea that "we paid $x to get 'y', and now you aren't giving us 'y'. What the hell?"

Agile works (when it works) because it treats software as a complex system that is best studied and modified through experimentation after accepting a high initial degree of uncertainty (which is slowly reduced through the creation of knowledge). The only comparable things in business terminology are investment and risk. Each iteration (I hate "sprint") needs to be treated as an investment with some risk percentage of failing completely. Until the money is handled that way, business people will keep expecting to get exactly what they think they're paying for, exactly when they feel they were promised they'd get it.
That nuance makes a major difference for sure in the situation. Mind I'm not rationalizing any behavior from either party. It's more an observation on the state of current affairs and how we've allowed it to come to this.

You would be fraudulently filling out the request form - unless Apple has a "Reason for refund: For the Lulz" in its drop down box. You would also probably committing some sort of credit card fraud by enacting a transaction in bad faith.

Poetically, this universe you've created reminds me of the story of the Berlin metro during the Cold War.

Prior to the division of the city, the metro system spanned the whole city, and was rebuilt to functioning capacity in the aftermath of WW II. Once it became necessary to construct a controlled border between the NATO and Soviet sectors, they eventually erected barriers on the tracks; creating two disconnected transportation graphs.

Except! There were some lines that began and ended in "West Berlin", but needed to pass through a couple of stations in
"East Berlin;" these were allowed to continue operating, but the train conductors were not permitted to stop at the "Easte Berlin" stations under any circumstances. The Geisterbahnhöfe (ghost stations) were patrolled by armed guards. This system persisted from the early 1960s until 1989.

Both sides made improvements to their respective pieces of the U-bahn, to service the local populations. But they never made any changes that would make a reunion impossible (for example, changing the track widths, or signalling technology). When the wall came down, the system united into a fully-functional whole remarkably quickly.

Imagine if the internet partitioned between "east" and "west"; but, in order for the internet backbone to reach India for example, it would first need to pass through Russia or China. I wonder if something similar would happen!

Editorializing, it's fascinating to see how these systems, that are designed to (more or less indiscriminately) connect people, behave when they are suddenly coerced to instead keep people apart in unnatural ways. It never seems sustainable, and the separation seems to revert so easily once the coercion is lifted. It's kind of a hopeful story for humanity, I think.
Okay, is it then social media that acts as the "first page" for news sites? To what extent is it the news sites own Twitter etc feed, and to what extent from sharing?

Ah, OK. The cargo bay door being that high up wasn't an issue in my eyes. They can build rockets after all, so they should be fine with engineering a platform and a lift.

Edit: Numbers - for fun: if the cargo bay door is 2/3 up the rocket (at 33m from the ground), and someone fell off the platform of the crane at half this height (16m), they would hit the ground with a speed of 7.2m per second which is the speed they would have after falling a distance of ~2.6m on Earth.
