I think as long as the product management still retains Bytedance's DNA (and Douyin), it has a good prospect to survive and thrive.
That's why I really hope that somehow they can have or keep in contact with Douyin product management folks.

Right, which makes your comment pointless.

Apple’s raison d'etre is to make money.
...That fits facts we already know and is of-a-piece with the rest of their behaviors over the last 3.5 years, so it is quite believable.

But that's fine - I agree there needs to be deep investigation in to what exactly happened. This is just a handy lead for investigators.
> some of the most important individuals in the world

I have bad news, there are no important individuals. Sorry.
These lockdowns are going to cause lifelong problems. Such short term thinking by our Politicians.
GTK is openly hostile to 3rd party developers and theme makers, ever since gtk became synonymous with gnome (around 3.0). This is going to be a nightmare for open-source developers and distros, which will likely be forced to support both for a long time to come.

Me? I'll keep writing tcl/tk applications. It's stable, cross-platform, and did I mention it's stable?

You'll find it in religious work ethics, too, as well as "idle hands", etc.
You're being disingenuous; if we call them not just Palestinians, but Philistines or the Peleset, then they are mentioned in multiple histories of the region. While the region passed through Roman, Turkish, and British control, the only time when there was a large influx of foreign folks was during the Islamic expansion, when many Arabs moved into Palestine. Other than that, they've been there since around the Bronze Age Collapse; their history traces through the Iron Age just like Israelite/Jewish history.
I'm not versed on the subject but a quick google search seems to indicate it's a very obvious net negative for the environment. It's not just about temperature...
> It would be hard to argue that the company that owns the computers has unauthorized access.

That's not the way I'd argue. I'd say the company has authorized access and they then gave access to fraudsters who should not have been given access to the system, which is where they were aiding the fraud.

So they aren't the principal offender, but they did aid in the offence which is what I'm suggesting makes them an accomplice (although as another paulpauper points out, an accomplice has to be aware they're aiding a crime - being duped isn't a crime).
> Ignoring that copyright law is one of the few areas of law that the U.S. constitution specifically empowers Congress to legislate (Art I, sec 8 cl 8).

Does the DMCA require that DRM systems "fail open" once the work is no longer covered by copyright?

I suppose that someone who tries to break a DRM system to access a work no longer covered by copyright might be able to convince a jury of their innocent intent. Imagine, though, someone selling a machine for copying DVDs but with a big warning on it saying "Only use this on copy-restricted DVDs if they contain works that are no longer covered by copyright". They'd better have a good lawyer to argue that constitutional case.
It makes some decent points, especially with regards to "forgiveness isn't necessarily about reconciling" and addresses other general misinformation about the idea.

What I always say is "Forgiveness is a gift. Trust is earned."

I think people hang onto a lot of negativity precisely because we so often hear garbage like "Forgive and forget" and "let bygones by bygones" which are phrases explicitly used by abusive people to indicate you are the asshole if you use their track record of bad behavior to be skeptical of their latest empty promises. Such ideas get used to facilitate abusive behavior and tell you that the only way you can be a good and decent person is to set aside common sense and actively cooperate with their plans to victimize you again.

"Forgiveness is a gift. Trust is earned." helps make the distinction between the two things. It can say "I may no longer be mad and projecting a lot of negativity at you, but you haven't fixed anything at all from your end, so, no. Don't assume that means I will be a chump and fall for your garbage."

AKA: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

It's okay to say "I was burned by this person. There is zero evidence that they have changed and I will not trust them again." while also saying to yourself "I am sick to death of wallowing in my misery. I would like to leave this emotional pain behind and focus on other things. I would like to stop and smell the roses and be present in the here and now and enjoy today, regardless of what shitty things some asshole did to me in the past."

TLDR: Sometimes, clinging to old pain is a means to shield yourself from new harm. Realizing that can help empower you to protect yourself without wallowing in misery.
The same way that poor responses to the opioid crisis aren't murder. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to make excuses for Kushner or the administration, but it's very dangerous for people to start getting in a mindset where stupid, destructive policy decisions are literal murder.
I mostly agree with you, whenever I want to put a simple native linux gui on top of some tool I'm disappointed by the difficulty of the GObject api. However, one advantage is that the C abi hasn't budged as the binary lingua franca. The C++ abi can change, but that only happens every decade or so, so it's not that bad. The worse part is that most FFI libraries always support C perfectly and C++ is always "experimental". So you can quickly throw together a library for a language that wraps GTK without worrying about the ABI. The downside is, obviously you want to smooth over GObject in MyCoolPyGTK, so each library develops its own API which you have to learn over and over, and you end up with 12 tabs open of the shoddy MyCoolPyGTK docs, GTK docs, GObject docs, and reverse engineering how they talk to each other behind the scenes. /rant
Sure, but... that confirms this view.
Imagine your 30 year old son is living in your basement playing video games, which is all he's done since high school. You can easily afford to continue to support him - but how would you feel about it?
It may seem pedantic, but it’s a useful distinction. ‘Deserves’ implies that you’ll get something without giving up anything. If you want a thing, then you can negotiate for it, each party giving up something to get their desired outcome.

What would you be willing to give up so that Apple would support your desired outcome more?
It might very well be my misunderstanding, so I apologize, but doesn't RHEL get security updates that are unavailable to the "rest of us" for a bit?

Yeah I could agree with that for violent/depraved crimes, but for hacking? I don't see why they're charging him as an adult.

Hacking into Twitter accounts isn't a depraved, violent crime. I could see that as the immaturity or lack of foresight of a smart teenager. Yes, they're prominent people. Doesn't really change it IMO.
The link above is about economic models for analyzing economic effects. For any actual commercial bank there are very real limits to how much credit they can extend. The models discussed simplify analysis and do not really represent anything particularly meaningful about operation of any particular real world bank.
Github is actively merging features of Azure DevOps and they plan to merge the two eventually, also business model changes, integration with VS Code, Azure, etc.

Github is actively within Microsoft ecosystem and all for the better of both sides from my experience.

Xamarin was crap before the Microsoft acquisition, it was improving at great pace afterwards and it's pretty integrated into .NET standard story (but still crap last time I used it 3 years ago) - I don't even see how you could say anything like they left them alone, feels more like they got rolled up in to .NET devision, again for the better of both (Mono was still the only solution for some scenarios until very recently even outside of mobile)
I feel like most people travel because it's cheap. In Europe, and with a bit of preparation, you can get round trips between any 2 major cities for less than 100 euros, sometimes much less. Berlin<>Mallorca is often under 25 euros (round trip)
I am probably biased [1], but it seems that one-time credit card numbers for at least online transactions are the answer here. Chips and pins are helpful, but not for ecommerce...

what? I was trying to understand why Mac and iPad sales surged YoY compared to other products and I’m just saying I think it was in part due to this promotion, which started earlier than in past years and included Airpods for the first time.

I don’t understand why it’s a pointless exercise to theorize why sales went up when no one expected it otherwise
Also, I'm pretty sure those pine needles are an important part of the ecosystem that has been inundated with them for thousands of years.
It's normal for restaurants to restrict what you eat and how, even if the food belongs to you. Have you ever tried to bring, say, a cake or a bottle of wine to dinner with you? Some places might just say no outside food or drink, but others will say you have to pay them per slice to cut your own cake, for instance. Or you have to pay them to uncork your wine[1].

So although you're presenting an analogy intended to be absurd, I think it's not far from how the normal non-tech world works, in terms of controlling your experience.

I agree there's a tradeoff. And that in the scenario where Apple allows alternate app stores, there would also be tradeoffs. But I disagree with your view that it would have to resemble the situation on Android. I feel that the Apple brand and the inherent security features of the iOS environment- which aren't simply the exclusivity of the App Store and the App Store Review process- could lead to secondary stores that are carefully curated and have a higher bar of security than the ones you see on Android. In fact, one could very well imagine companies entering into a new market and providing secure app markets that try to beat Apple at their own game (such as searchability). For one thing, there's more money to be made with iOS apps, and perhaps that could lead to greater investment and higher quality stores.

I view the dismissals of "secondary app markets will just be like insecure shoddy secondary Android app stores" to be both pessimistic and lacking in imagination at the potential for new businesses and innovation to be created if Apple just gives up a little bit of its dominating power.
StatusIcon and AppIndicator is extremely annoying.

> I don't like these guidelines because they are vague and subjective

They are intended to be subjective: since it's about fit to the audience.

> just because an article does or does not gratify one person's intellectual curiosity, it doesn't mean it won't / will gratify another person.

One vote/flag doesn't have a giant effect. The idea isn't to have stuff that might appeal to someone’s intellectual curiosity, but will do so for the HN community broadly. HN isn't the only community around and isn't intended to be, and it isn't trying to be all things to all people.

> Flagging is heavy-handed, because it hides the post unless you have showdead enabled, and it prevents the post being able to gain upvotes which would otherwise justify it being posted.

Tools to adjust the signal-to-noise ratio need to, well, actually have an effect to work.

> When a post gets 10 upvotes in 50 minutes, it's clearly satisfying _some_ people's curiosity.

Yes, and the formula weighting votes, flags, and activity already considers that.

> If you're not interested in the post you can just scroll past it, you don't have to flag it out of everyone else's view...

Conversely, if you are interested in content that doesn't appeal to the HN community generally as expressed by the mechanisms established, you are free to use a different link-sharing and discussion site (there are plenty) or set up your own.

I'm not sure your first point matters. There is one canonical Jewish nation today who live and die by the Torah.

The history of Jews isn't them committing violence against others, but of violence being committed onto them. The Jews in the diaspora weren't going around stealing people's land and possessions, they were merely trying to live in peace, integrate into whichever nation they were a part of, and suffered pograms, massacres, and blood libel for trying. The violence in 20th centruy started to defend their nation from a second Holocaust, once the lesson had been learned that integration into another nation was impossible. Your impression of Jews as violent people is horribly misguided.
25% market share is a misleading statistic. Since iPhones dominate the higher end of the market, where the real money flows, they actually make twice as much money as Google: https://www.statista.com/statistics/296226/annual-apple-app-....

So it’s more like a 70% share, in practice.

By that argument, all consumer protection laws should be abolished. Clearly I don't agree with that position.

I don't think it's selfish to argue that government should protect the little guy from being exploited by the big guy who has much greater power, for each of the numerous little guys affected by a situation. Indeed, that is arguably one of the most important functions of any government.

I would have less of a problem with this if we were discussing some luxury item that people could easily do without. However, the reality is that many organisations -- including government entities at various scales in my country as well as other essential services -- now effectively require the use of certain technologies in order to function as a normal member of society. It is therefore reasonable to ensure that the technologies available are provided on an acceptable basis.

If a supplier doesn't want to play by those rules, they're not forced to perform any labour for me or anyone else here. They're perfectly entitled to simply exit the market instead.
It's because of Covid. Millions of kids needed something to call into their Zoom classes and iPads for one are perfect for that at their price point. I'm not surprised at all.
You are right as far as you went, but it doesn't stop there. The 180 billion all but has to end up in a bank account somewhere and that bank will then lend out a further 9/10ths of the 180 billion. The limit of that action repeating over and over implies that 1/ratio dollars are created. As a rough theory.

But exactly how it all works out depends on a countries legal and financial implementation details.

"allowing more inexperienced and unskilled programmers to create programs"

You realize that this is a good thing, right?
Impressive speed of obsolescence.

Should manufacturers be forced to support devices for a set amount of time (5 years?) or should the customer start demanding it?
I think this analogy would work if you think in terms of opening a Apple franchise, and being able to sell only Apple products.

The problem here is a centralized point of control, that basically controls, or can eventually exercise this control to define in the end how you experience your life in the digital realm.

As the subtraction, or whats left out, will happen before, people wont even notice whats being taken from them.

That's why its hard to compare to anything that happened before, because its unparalleled.
Every time you move, the body releases adrenaline, so you are not far wrong in your line of thought. The adrenal glands produces around 180 different hormones including adrenaline, so protecting or even attempting to improve their function would be a logical natural pain killing route to take. Hint they are layer upon layer of epithelial cells. Of course other factors like the body attacking itself is also a problem which the adrenal glands alone cant "fix", for example too much sodium increases the Th17 cells to the point they start attacking the body. T cells from Thymus, B cells from bone marrow. However considering civilisations & Religions have existed for over 10,000years dating back to Sumerian times, observation was the only "scientific" methods available at the time, and Religions had to keep their followers healthy for the next attack, so looking into different religious fasting methods could also improve health outcomes. The world record for a water only fast, still in the Guinness book of world records is 382days, carried out in 1971 at the University of Dundee. Having done an 18day water only fast myself and felt like a teenager again, I'd highly recommend investigating it to others. A US movement in the 1950's called the Hygienists and Shelton were big advocates. Also consider the immune system attacks the food we eat, so as our immune cell count falls during a fast, are there still more immune cells now working solely removing damaged cells from the body? Its suggested viruses need carbs as noted by the use of the Keto BCAA Lysine for Cold Sores, bacteria builds biofilms when they go dormant in the body but are not impenetrable to the attacking immune system either. So there seems to be some merit with a water only fast for some, however sudden death is a risk to those with undiagnosed conditions, a bit like we see with some seemingly healthy people dying of covid.
Either way, the human body, in fact any lifeform is an extremely complex biochemical and electrical real time puzzle where many chemicals play their part in lengthening life spans or shortening life spans. I wouldnt bet my life on just one supplement, unlike Linus Pauling and Vit C, its effects like all supplements, need to be put in context in the scheme of things keeping us alive, healthy and happy.
Just like you can choose not to be a Walmart customer, you can also choose not to be an Apple customer.
I'm not sure it would, unless the app development were to be significantly different. People sometimes underestimate the cultural differences.

The example I like to give is the one given by John Hooker, who taught comparative culture at CMU. As it is, U.S. jokes are often not funny to many continental Europeans. Chinese humor is of a whole other bent.

Another interesting comparison point are Japanese websites, which are borderline unnavigable (to me) because they avoid any use of larger fonts.

I don't think that's a valid comparison in this case. You aren't advertising another place to buy the same item, you are telling people how to buy content for the item they obtained from Apple's App Store that is (a) necessary for the item to work meaningfully and (b) is not sold through Apple's App Store. Are you completely confident that if Walmart, for some reason, sold video game consoles but didn't sell the actual games for the console, they would maintain an iron-clad prohibition against telling their own customers where those games are available?

If you want to start saying ideology, then I think you misunderstand the nature of facts based disagreement. It is fine not to agree with the EFF. The problem is your statement implies something they say of fact, not opinion is in dispute. The EFF like any other cause-based body, has "views" and also explores facts.

If there are facts to dispute, lets dispute them.
