Bitcoin is anonymous until you tie it to something that requires a real identity. For most people, it's probably tied to an exchange that has their real identity, credit card info, and maybe bank account info.

What they should've done is generate a new wallet with no previous transactions and just used that to buy things.

I've been a big fan of N-Acetyl Glucosamine (aka NAG), which is one of the most underlooked safe supplement to deal with autoimmune disease. Could it be the same as the mobility supplements with Glucosamine?
Ah, now I follow. I assume they intended "de-anonymized" to mean "tied the public keys to identifiable human beings IRL."
> The best thing I can say about OOP is that it allows for private state that only certain logic is allowed to know about.

Local variables in methods are private and encapsulated. Languages had this before and after OO. Plus modules/namespaces/headers/etc.

OO languages added classes with fields, which are variables shared among methods (whether they are declared with the private keyword or not.) The opposite of private/encapsulated.

If the 'private' keyword made a class's state sufficiently private I wouldn't need to worry about the difference between StringBuilder and StringBuffer, and I could pass java.util.Date without fear.
>These are bolted on hacks and don't have the combined support of Apple and Google.

If you don't like "bolted on hacks" you'd like Web APIs and HTML as an application development platform even less...
I love music (and am a musician), but I disagree that good music is scarce. Part of the issue here (among many others) is that music is fairly "evergreen", and certainly much more so than apps. Zillions of people are still listening to the Beatles and Bob Dylan (two examples of "good music") more than half a century later. I worry that the ever increasing catalog of recorded music is making it ever harder to gain mindshare as a musician.
> I'd love to be continuously taking classes in new fields, but the world isn't set up that way.

But it kind of is that way?

There is already probably more course content online than you could learn in a lifetime.
Again, it all depends on what kind of music you're trying to make. If you're copying an existing style, it's not particularly hard. I can make a Drake-like beat in an afternoon - a quick search on Splice will even show me the exact drum sounds to use.

But if you're creating your own sound? That takes effort and experimentation.

Creating a song - easy. Creating music that's distinctively your own - tons and tons of effort.
My (implicit) point was that software can be optimized for one factor, which is usefulness. By evaluating usefulness, we can evaluate whether a piece of software is "good" or not.

However, use-value makes for a very poor metric for evaluating music (I am ignoring arguments about the "usefulness" of music when it's played on a factory floor, making workers slightly more productive). So what must we use to evaluate its "good"-ness? Anything you propose here will have certain people agree, and others disagree, e.g. one set of people say good music must make you dance, and another set will say good music must make you feel relaxed (the opposite of dance).

When aggregated, these individual differences will cancel out. So the average most marketable music must, therefore, be as bland as water.
> The manufacturer of the device must not control what apps I run on after buying it.

The manufacturer of the device is within their rights to ship the software/hardware experience they want it to have.

If you do not like it, then there is no obligation for you to buy said device.

You are not entitled to make the device manufacturer pour time and effort into developing support for features like this. It's quite simple - if you don't like the ecosystem, move on.
> Everything Apple is doing is helping make a better app store for me.

I would prefer paying for Netflix right from the iPhone. It would be great to have torrent apps (they have legitimate use-cases). I would love to run qemu on my powerful iPad Pro.

Apple does not allow any of that.
Bitcoin transactions take place between addresses, which are hashes of public keys. It's actually better to call bitcoin "pseudonymous", since the addresses are pseudonyms that may or may not be tied to an irl identity.

So if you, a hacker, tell someone to submit Bitcoin to an address, that address is only really "anonymous" until you use your private keys to reroute the money to other addresses. As soon as the graph of transactions touches some known node (perhaps at the edges of the Bitcoin network that interact with the monetary system), you can trace back to figure out who might have controlled the original address.

It's very silly to try to cash in on ill-gotten bitcoin...
No, and that's why we (basically all nations that have banks or nuclear power plants) have specific laws governing them.

Look, if you want to pass a law saying all internet business having X personal data needs to prove Y security, then I'd probably be for it (depending on X and Y). We already have PCI-DSS and similar today for payment providers. I'm just saying that there is nothing like that today, and if there was we'd have a lot more irresponsible people in prison.
I can and I do - but that doesnt mean I dont think that the option should exist on iOS
Anecdotes don't make data. I'm keen to see any significant study that demonstrates the existence of so-called cancel culture, but for now it seems to be making a big fuss over a few overzealous institutions and some well-meaning but decidedly myopic liberals.
This channel is one of my favorites!
That's fair, but I'm still very unclear on how the one relates to the other.

How is this idea, "to not take up the mantle of victimhood," meant to be useful in, for example, forgiving my grandfather for what he did that one afternoon when I was still a small boy, and everyone else was out on a day trip somewhere? - that one afternoon much of which I'm totally unable to remember, but still, thirty years on, makes me queasy to think about.

To be sure, what happened that afternoon is between me and my grandfather and not likely ever to be reconciled in detail, especially seeing how he died a couple of decades ago. But the facts of the situation are fairly obvious, especially since I'm not the only one in my family with a story like that. So I think it makes a pretty good worked example, or the basis for one at least.

If nothing else, I can attest that dealing with the emotional ramifications of having an afternoon like that in one's past is a long process - I've been working at it for some years now, and even that's just since I realized I needed to start trying. So what I'm asking is, what is "not [taking] up the mantle of victimhood" meant to have to do with a process like that? In what way is it meant to make that easier, or even make that possible?

I mean, this is a fair question, right? Maybe I've misunderstood somewhere, but as far as I can tell you've framed it as a general prescription, so it seems reasonable to think it should be applicable here. But I have to admit that I'm not seeing how.
I'd love to see a Congressional panel ask why developers need an OSX device to build for iOS and still have to pay a fee to Apple for the privilege.
Because, I guarantee, if iOS app distribution market was competitive, fee would be lower than 30%. 30% fee is a monopolistic rent.
Politicians either don't care or can't get changes passed. Until that changes blaming and shaming does and will continue to work, at least better that my elected officials who'd ratherdo anything but challenge their largest donors profits.

I think the fact that "a 17yo was able to gain access to the private messages of potentially some of the most important individuals in the world" does pretty serious damage to their reputation — that is in itself a repercussion.

It's a recent pivot/rebrand. As of May 2019 their hero copy was "Adjoint empowers enterprises to achieve new levels of efficiency and control by delivering blockchain technology built specifically for the needs of the financial industry."[1]

Google has a brand, just like other companies e.g. BMW and Costco. We associate these with things like "reliable", and "cheap", and "luxury".

I think "high feature churn" will become a part of Google's brand.
You're no entitled to a "feature" of my phone blocking functionality that doesn't affect you.
iOS is an option among several, not the only game in town. Nobody forces anybody to buy iOS, and if they don't they don't need to use the iOS App Store either, problem solved...
> Be more iterative, experimental, and user driven

My heart has fallen at the thought of agile software development invading the creative process
No one is forcing anyone to write software for Apple.
You should not share articles like these on HN. Sacred things are not to be critized, and everything Apple is sacred :)
Just check the comments in this thread. As long as I get my "flawless user experience" it doesn't matter what happens and how Apple treats the backbone of its platform (independent developers) and forcing them in a feudal relationship, one might even call it a road to serfdom.

And I can see already that there will be people jumping out of the woods with the classic argument: "The devs are free to leave the App store"
You try to make a business and the first decision you make is that you abandon half of your potential marketshare (iOS is over 50% in the U.S.)
The demand is already booked at the fabs. This is an extra 50-100k on top of that.

Each chiplet (core complex die) on the AMD Epyc is 74 mm² plus the I/O die, which is built on a 12nm process is 125 mm². [0]

There is roughly 70k mm² of area on a 300mm wafer. Let's say for math's sake that after yield loss and so on, we end up with 37k mm^2 of chips that work; That's 500 chiplets per wafer.

Each CPU has 8 chiplets, so that's 62 CPUs per wafer.

So 50k CPUs is ~800 wafers and 100k CPUs is ~1600 wafers.

Cycle times for 7nm are ~80 days [1]

So you have at least an 80 day lead time, plus whatever time is spent waiting for open capacity.

TSMC capacity is said to be 130k wafers/month @ 7nm [2], so the volume needed is only ~1% of total monthly fab allocation. According to the same source, AMD already has ~20% allocation at TSMC, so it's 5% of AMDs total production for a single month for that order.

We, as a society, have already decided that musicians have to be "all in" and "exceptional" to make a good living... and if the rest want to make a living - then private events is the way.

We cannot support a million Beyonce's, a million Gaga's and millions of other musicians - we don't live in a Communist utopia.

Now as for Spotify - they are not a monopoly, in US they are neck and neck with Apple Music. So... Why should we intervene with heavy handed laws* - when there's still a fierce battle happening in the market?

Also - Let's not have the government decide how culture should progress.

* - laws are always conservative and change slowly
"Those who don’t care much about privacy might say that they have nothing to hide. Those who do worry about it might say that keeping their personal data safe protects them from being harmed by hackers or unscrupulous companies. Both positions assume that caring about and protecting one’s privacy is a personal matter. This is a common misunderstanding."

As split keyboards go, there's a lot of different ones developed by the semi-pro community. Like for example Quefrency (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/9jl46t...)
> What’s the alternative. Are you going to mandate what features Apple, or any manufacturer of devices with embedded software, can or cannot implement? Are you going to mandate by law specific features for side loading that all manufacturers have to implement in all devices containing software? What features, who gets to specify them, how will this be enforced?

Well, it has been done for Microsoft, it could be done for Apple: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrowserChoice.eu

i purchased one of their product ( an iphone), which now belongs to me. That doesn't mean i should be compelled to use all of their product.

What if tomorrow they decide bing is the only search engine available on iOS, or iCloud the only storage solution. Would you still be holding the same argument ?
Your numbers are grossly off here. I would bet that zero orchestra musicians are making anywhere close to $100k just from playing in an orchestra - the absolute top of the top might make that across all of their engagements. Most are making far, far less.
"In the 1980s, the physician Robert Goldman famously found that more than half of aspiring athletes would be willing to take a drug that would kill them in five years in exchange for winning every competition they entered today"

Seems very probable that when it comes down to it and they had the pill in their hand, a lot would not go through with it once the reflection hits.
A billion years ago (2006 or so probably), I impulse bought four or five of the Elite model all at once. Probably to save on shipping or some dumb thing, I don't remember. At the time I had gone through three of the keyboards by spilling water on them. Even a little water destroys the membranes inside, so I was like hey, I'll just stock up so I don't have to wait to order.

Then they stopped making them. I have one remaining in storage, and two in active usage. One of those (this one I'm typing on now) has a flakey 1 key. I'm really dreading the day I finally destroy it and have to find some new keyboard to replace it. Nothing I've ever seen compares to the original MS Natural Elite.
Sure, but it's plenty of time to just remove tracking cookies altogether. Which would have been easier to implement than what they're doing now (geolocating visitors, serving custom messages depending on jurisdiction, etc.)

I mean, if my privacy matters to them.

I know the online news business is difficult to monetize. Only a handful of major news orgs can put paywalls up and charge subscribers directly. I get that.

So, what they do instead is use 3rd party ad networks and analytics, and traffic in my personal data, while telling me that my privacy matters.

That's why this is doublespeak. They're saying one thing (my privacy matters) while doing another (funding their operations in part on my personal data).

Is it the only viable model for them? Maybe. That's not really relevant, though.
Learning music might not may a child smarter, but it may teach the child "metaskills" like character which cannot be learned directly. Here's an (snipped) quote from something I read a while ago: [1]

"When a student learns piano, all Americans can see is that the student is now equipped with the skill to play the piano. Under this view, unless the student can put that skill into use in the future somehow, the time spent on acquiring that skill is wasted. This is a deeply mistaken attitude, and the ever-smart tiger cub Sophia Rubenfeld-Chua has the perfect answer showing the flaw of that attitude:

''I’m never going to be a professional pianist, but the piano has given me confidence that totally shapes my life. I feel that if I work hard enough, I can do anything. I know I can focus on a given task for hours at a time. And on horrible days when I’m lost and a mess, I can say to myself, "I’m good at something that I really, really love." I want my kids to have that confidence – confidence rooted in something concrete, not just "aww everyone’s a winner!!!" confidence, because in your heart you never believe that.''

The point of learning the piano is NOT about acquiring the skill of playing the piano so that the student can earn a living as a pianist. It is about building the character of the person. Here is the thing about character -- you can't build it by explicitly setting out to build it. Character is not a skill like tying your shoelaces. If it must be put in terms of "skill", character is a "meta-skill" -- a foundational human skill that is necessary to perfect any number of mechanical skills. And the only way to develop this meta-skill is to develop at least one highly sophisticated mechanical skill, such that the student may acquire the meta-skill in the course of building the mechanical skill.

... it is about acquiring genuine confidence and iron discipline. With such confidence and discipline, she can move on and do anything she wants in her life because there is no task in life in which confidence and discipline hinder success."

I don't understand what you're asking for. Can you explain?
I see $4,000+ for the Iridium terminal and $500/m for a 100MB plan.

Thats really really expensive for not a lot of data. Click the wrong link from HN front page and you could burn through half that in one click!

I suppose it could be doable. You'd want to be setup with all your software and development environment before hand and just use the satellite connection for text-only email/chat. Maybe SSH to an outside server and use w3m for web browsing?
I suggest you don't. I switch away from firefox for this exact reason.

Opera just displays the website correctly, no reader mode required. (Althoug aviable. I never use it and I think its only necessary for other browsers because their normal browsing feature is broken).
I think we are in agreement on mechanism. I meant "works on average" in the sense of "Keeps fraud and breaches to a level consumers are comfortable with." Nobody imagines breaches can be driven to zero; we seem to be comfortable as a society with the overall rate and severity of breaches (demonstrably, since people keep signing up for these rando online services willy-nilly with nary a care to who holds their data).
Quite probably. I am assuming that home-made methods are similar as industrial scale methods (put a bunch of chicken bones and connective tissue in a vat of water, simmer, strain).
Someone should really tell that to Daft Punk.
Yeah, I completely agree. I do feel conflicted because just a few companies control everything. It's that tough balance to be sure and I don't know what the right solution is

Android has the freedom of other app stores, but in practice very few even bother

You seem to not have read other comments, where the same complaint is made, and its answers.
You are missing my point I think. Musicians do not necessarily make music for their fans and to 'engage' with people. It is art. It doesn't necessarily have to please anybody but the person that made it and it is still perfectly valid. Yes, people have to eat. But plenty of art was made by people without any form of compensation or interaction with their 'fanbase'. That's just mr. Ek saying what would help him.
And because if that happens I would promptly go find a phone with a curated locked down store again. If I wanted otherwise I would have bought an Android phone, with my _choice_.
Similar experience but we also had to deal with randomly failing multimeters and defective components. It was very frustrating but gave me a foundation for software debugging skills that proved valuable, not being able to take any component for granted and understand that even if most times is a human error sometimes the fundamental pieces of infra are also defective. However, sadly, it made me dislike HW design :/
That way they won't be able to profit off of Facebook and Google's successes :)
Most reduced ergo keyboards are heavily reliant upon layers to provide access to function keys, media keys, numpad, etc. I have several ergo keyboards, and my favorite (and one I'm currently typing on) is the Atreus [1]. In the default configuration it's one press with the thumb to access the numpad without moving the hand [2], and another keypress puts the function keys there instead (with the same layout for 1-9) [3]. This is all customizable of course.

It definitely takes some getting used to, but once you do it's such an efficient and enjoyable typing experience.

I see it the same way, even as developer. Every store is another task which takes resources to handle. Stores change and hence it never stops.
Further, Icwsnt customers to know tuey can trust the ecosystem to some degree.

As a fahter, the Apple App Store too is the only place I give my children access too. They started with Android phones but after I noticed the apps which are present in the Google Play Store we went on to switch to iOS. Passing on our used devices to our kids.

Google could have done amazing things, abd so could Microsoft. But both took a different parh. I am not a Apple fanboy, I fact I am very critical about them. Yet its simply the best ecosystem for normal consumers.
This acquisition is in US interests and can be supported by US government. They try to stop leaking silicone industry in general (famous CHIPS act), and block Huawei and its partners.

I've seen many things described as a feature but platform monopoly is a new one, unless 'many of us' in this case means 'Apple shareholder'
I was talking about Spotify. I guess I misunderstood - thanks for clarifying that.
Genuine question: Why does this matter? I see 0 problems with Apple having a "walled garden." It's their product and their platform so they should be able to decide what gets supported and developed for it.

I personally don't like how Apple conducts their business so I just don't use Apple products and that's that.
This is their platform... maybe the gov can make this a legal monopoly like the NFL. And, everyone gets the same % rate, same rules, and no apple competition in apps. Same for Google...
Microsoft didn't force people to buy Windows, "all" they did was install IE by default and they got done for that. Precedent disagrees with you.
I should have been clearer, I used 70% of revenue because that is what Spotify gives to artists. Of course, software can do that as it scale infinitely, retail cannot. I can't tell if 70% is generous or not -- many independent artists think it isn't.
