Per IPCC, wind and solar are very nearly on par with (possibly better) than nuclear. It's coal that really drags down the average, and yes, we need to stop using that.

Hydro's mortality is largey attributable to a single, though immensely bad incident, the Chinese Banqiao Dam disaster of 1975. That itself was a consequence of poor engineering, planning, management, response, and an unanticipated weather event (parked typhoon/cold-front dumping > 1,000mm rain in 24h), with most issues being common to any high-profile technical engineering project.

Hydro otherwise is largely safe (there are a few other exceptions, again higghligghting planning, management, response, and institutional integrity, especially in developing regions or periods), problems not specific to the energy-harnessing mechanism) and the Banqiao site is presently home to > 15 millions, rather than being a multi-century technically-induced wildlife park as is the case with other technologies.
Tennessee just made it a Class E felony to camp outside the capitol. Protesters have been doing this for months but it would apply to squelch protesters and homeless alike. Up to six years prison, and loss of voting rights, is the penalty.
Just like how you see the "sales price" on Amazon and Walmart? Ok.
Apple should just be as draconian as possible so that more people will voluntarily put in the effort to learn how to build and consume open platforms.

If people don't want to do that, that's on them.

If Epic doesn't want to invest in an open cell phone platform that can run Epic binaries, then its only options are to beg the government for help, or to take Apple's bs on the chin
Your comments are all dead and I vouched for this one, but it's clear from your comment history why. Nobody likes reading "angry programmer" comments here because you're just not special around here, so nobody has to bear the cost of your malice in order to divine the meaning behind your words. "Shut the fuck up" and "delete your account" are really intolerable, stupid ass comments for HN, and if your response to this is that you know but you don't care, I would suggest finding a technical community that places more emphasis on free speech absolutism (like EFNet maybe) than just wasting bandwidth as you are here on HN.
Pretty sensible speculation. Macs on ARM. Do you think that Macs and IOS will converge? What does the app model look like for the converged platform?
They’re not, they can use Android. If you buy an iPhone, this is an implicit choice you make.

> I actually agree with not allowing external payment processors on these (and mobile) platforms, especially for games where the audience is frequently naive kids.

I'm assuming you would also want to prohibit these "naive kids" from ever browsing the Internet too, am I right?

(Since there are plenty of website that accept payments through a variety of payment processors?)
There's no law preventing anyone selling a smart phone without the limitations on your freedom you find objectionable.

But similarly, there's no law requiring anyone to sell products that allow you to do whatever you want with them once they've been bought.

You can argue for such a law, but competition law is a pretty weak place to start.

Arguably, Apple is creating a market by their policies: the fact that it's not filled with competitors indicates only that most people don't care.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this, because it doesn't seem particularly relevant or important to this situation? It's the equivalent of asking if Google can sell Android apps on iOS.

I think it really depends on the project. Stored procs are really nice for a lot of different use-cases, but one major downside is that they can be challenging to version control.

Storing this sort of stuff outside of the database with the Python project itself would make version control trivially easy.
Exactly, I depend on my computer for important aspects of my life, I don't depend on my phone for those.

I think that’s their case to make, but from what I could find the answer seems to be probably not.

Derivative works are copyrightable (Translations, adapting a book to a movie), but it might be hard to argue an exact copy of the song lyrics are “derivative” as they aren’t an original creation, but simply a subset of the old work.
For those complaining about their misuse of "1984", it's merely a mockery of Apple's previous misuse of it (an effective one, too!). "1984" is a satire of Bolshevism and the Stalin regime, but became of a victim of its own success, and has been appropriated as a weapon against many unrelated or very loosely related things.
Linear B
Another book that touches on the subject is "The Great Reversal: How America Gave Up on Free Markets" by Thomas Philippon.
Somehow this article provides no explanation at all of how this actually happens. Perhaps the research being reported doesn't really have an explanation either, it's just more demonstration under more controlled conditions?

Or the explanation as it were is just "abstract" and "geometrical", basically just mathematical?

Very odd phenomenon.
Just a few days short of 35 years ago, this came up in “The Straight Dope” [1].

Here is an example : take an Intel nuc : Ubuntu, everything works out of box. Win10 ? Let's download a WiFi driver on Intel site ! Let's hope you have Ethernet or a windows 10 supported wifi device. And no, the wifi dongle lying around is too old, windows 7 only...

What is your example ?
Does Apple still sell phones at a loss? If so they are subsidizing eyeballs for app devs and need to somehow get paid back for this.
"Just stay away from bullsh*t like this. It’s poison."

I say that to myself so much when reading any kind of news on the pandemic. The pandemic landing in a US presidential election year has made it at least 3x worse in my opinion.
Your argument is "When you choose a technology provider you must accept everything that they do without complaining" which is so obviously wrong it's actually hard to know where to start with formulating a response.

This situation isn't like Microsoft Windows in the 90s, where consumers effectively had no choice but to use Windows.

There was an alternative then though - MacOS. And a lot of people defended Microsoft on the basis that they couldn't possibly have a monopoly because you could always buy an Apple computer instead, just as you're arguing that people can switch to Android now. It was a bullshit argument back then too. No one should have to accept that Apple intentionally hides useful information (like alternative ways to buy things in apps) by blocking apps from the app store in the name of their own profit.
I’m basing my risk assessment on evidence of likely long term damage to adults. Combined with very little data there is a huge amount of unknown risk still to children.

https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/07/08/from-lung-scarring-to-h...

I hope I’m wrong. In six months or a year maybe I’ll feel more comfortable with the risk to my kids (and myself with a damaged spinal cord), but right now I don’t and to equate it to anti-vaxxers is fairly insulting.
Interesting product. I am wondering how does this fit into typical workflows.
But to fight the wrong fake news this is what they are going to have to do.
So this is somewhere between code comments and Confluence pages. Seeing as even comments can get stale, how accurate do these docs stay?

The added focus on "why" instead of "what" seems more resistant to cruft.
I'm seeing this same exact wording on multiple comments. Are these bots from Epic? Or are people at HN really this obtuse to even realize that OP is talking about Epic's long term goals?

Note that this is ARM32, which is more or less a legacy platform, raising the concern of whether compression is relevant anymore is irrelevant since it's legacy already. As the article says,

StatCounter measures web usage, not market share. iOS users tend to jump into Safari and browse the web from their devices more than peer devices, quite contrary to the conspiratorial noise often spread on here.

By actual sales of devices, iOS accounts for between 41-46% of the market. That users on iOS tend to use the web more from their devices doesn't somehow make it a monopoly.

And to be clear I don't think whether it's a monopoly or not is particularly relevant -- it's still arguably abusive, anticompetitive behavior -- but that misleading statcounter claim is used for disinformation on here daily.
And that is exactly why you are not Apple's PR team.
I understand your POW and I would have shared it also if not for the kids in the house where you can actually see how dominating Epic is.
There is a whole sub-culture around Fortnite, it expands from just playing a simple game on your iPad to being a way of communication on TikTok (e.g. dance moves).
And you bet that when those little kids start whining to their parents, some noise will be generated.

I have honestly nothing more to say, except well played Fortnite! Perfect execution.
The vast majority of people purchasing an iPhone know the rules. If you don't like them, don't buy one.

People (especially online) have been shockingly dismissive of everything, in COVID context.

Worried about the economy? You probably only want to get rich on the stock market. Worried you might lose your job? You probably have one of those shit-jobs we've been hearing about, no big loss there. Worried remote schooling might affect children's long term development? Schools are useless anyway. Worried that art and culture like concerts, museums, theatres might disappear? We don't need them, just watch operas on Youtube and browse pictures of famous paintings. Travel? Just go to StreetView.

It's scary how quick people are to let go of elements of society and civilisation, some of which took centuries to build. Yes, nothing is perfect but these attitudes are not working towards implementing something better.
Because Shuttleworth has notorious Apple-envy.
This might backfire. I don't rely on google reviews or listings in India because they are heavily gamed by an army of scammers. Many of them already create fake profiles for businesses and redirect people.

I don't see any requirement for verification but even if there is any, as long as they let people enter details themselves - it would be useless. Many people are willing to sell their ID for pennies.

so, to fit your narrative you're purposely ignoring the second part of that same sentence where i state i can fully understand ukrainian, yet not croatian and the other languages listed, and that you can't turn russian into serbian like you can with ukrainian because it's too different a language.

you then tell me i'm speaking surzhyk, which i specifically said is what is being spoken. then you give me a wiki link, so i can find out about the thing my entire post is about. the fact that you can make суржик out of russian with ukrainian and belorussian, yet you can't with the other languages listed. because they are very different languages. which exactly disputes the claim of op, that they're the same.

bravo sir. fox news is now accepting applications, and they want you.
This is completely false. They've been contributing massively to the gaming scene on Linux, especially with Proton – a more fine-tuned version of Wine, that makes playing Windows games on Linux seamless and easy.
Sure he does. And he probably has a reason. But it is absurd to assume he hasn't considered that "trains" allow more people in shorter ties than a single car. So you can speculate why he does as he does, but you are talking about someone sending people to space.
Because having that options undermines the trust model of the device I am using and more importantly of the devices of others I communicate with.

What is F-Droids developer revenues?

Sounds interesting, but I was a little annoyed by the "transparent pricing, no need to talk to us" then no pricing and a form to fill in instead.

What sort of pricing is this targeting?
> AWS is orders of magnitude more complicated than Discord. Frankly, so is World of Warcraft.

AWS maybe, insomuch as "orders of magnitude" can mean as little as "100x". But still, unconvinced. There's something like 200 AWS services, and Discord on the whole is certainly more than twice as complex as the average AWS service.

World of Warcraft being >100x more complex than Discord doesn't track.

> What does Discord do that wasn't solved in 2005?

Perhaps you are unaware that Discord has (pretty high quality!) voicechat and livestreaming? Certainly much better than anything that existed in 2005.
The 30% cut only applies to in-app content. Doesn't apply to physical goods or services delivered via the app. So things like UBER, AirBnb, SkipTheDishes etc are not part of it.

Why would Epic have a heavily produced video and lawsuit ready if they thought Apple would bluff?
The difference is small if you're looking at 15%.

The difference is small if you're looking at very cheap apps.

The big problem here is for tens of dollars being charged 30%. It makes a very significant difference!
I agree. Perhaps it is because we are rapidly approaching the date when most schools around the U.S. begin opening back up (or not) after summer vacation. So this is on many people's minds and many decisions are being made about it at local and state levels currently. This is why it is on my mind particularly anyway. I think people are way underestimating the negative consequences economic, social, psychological, etc. of covid mitigations generally. I think we have long passed the point where benefits are worth the costs.
As a consumer, why can't there be an alternative App Store on IoS if I don't like the Apple terms? Apple shouldn't force consumers and developers to provide them with 30%.
> Once people get a flu and recover, they’re back to normal.

Land has been passed down for many generations quite successfully, and property taxes are great, because there should be some societal cost associated with the ownership, i.e. being able to call on the fire department etc.

Maybe that is the mindset of the communists, and it would make sense that they want to manage how many babies exit women in case skills can’t be passed down as efficiently.
Describing things like this as "funny/hilarious" is a big red flag that a person is more interested in identity politics than good faith discussion.

The same is true for game consoles. If you buy an Xbox you cannot decide to buy Nintendo games for it. Yet I don't think anyone would claim "games for Xbox", "games for Playstation", and "games for Nintendo" are three separate markets with no competition (as opposed to one large market for "video games").
That's a high density of bad opinions.

The web can and should deprecate features as they're no longer needed, but stopping development on new features is obviously not going to happen.

The internet is not a store of plain-text documents. It's a platform for rich applications. It's moving further in that direction because both developers and consumers want it to.

WebUSB? I'm sorry, have you never heard of a Chromebook? Schools certainly have reason to read files from USB drives. Web browsers don't just run on Windows.

I don't see the problem. The questions anthropology seeks to answer are heavily influenced by politics and subjectivity; attempting to erase the imprecision with which humanity engages with reality paints an imprecise picture of humanity itself. As scientific inquiry is limited by the range of conceivable hypotheses (where that range is limited by experience, dogma, even bias) and available methods of observation, it seems imprudent to proclaim a "scientific worldview" (which is used inappropriately here, though not always elsewhere, as a synonym for "reason") as the be-all-end-all of interest. Especially in a society that has seen no small amount of reckless regard towards physical evidence of indigenous history. I see no reason to begrudge people the right to fill the vacuum left with whatever they like as long as it doesn't contradict physical evidence; they weren't the ones asking for developers to pave over grave sites. It's a bit of a, "lying in the bed you made," situation.
"Schadenfreude" comes to my mind, and the proverb "wenn sich zwei streiten, freut sich der dritte" (when two are fighting, the third is the lucky one). But Schadenfreude is more general than what you are describing and the proverb is not quite on spot, because you are not really involved in the story. I'll probably spend the next hour trying to think of a better word ;).
Your link doesn't say that Google forces AMP on publishers. It shows that Google displays an icon next to AMP results for mobile searches to indicate the page is mobile friendly. Bing does the exact same thing: https://blogs.bing.com/Webmaster-Blog/September-2018/Introdu...

This is not enforcing AMP on publishers in the results, and the argument that it is by using icons falls under the 'it's kind of the same' category.

You could argue about Apple's rights, or citizens' free speech rights, or consumer rights, under existing law. It would be an interesting discussion because I think it's a lot more complicated an issue that most people appreciate.

But really why not talk about how we think things should work on platforms like iOS? What should the law be? What protects essential human rights, encourages creativity, and allows business to function to some extent?

Personally, I would argue that consumers should have a legal right to install whatever software they wish on a product they have purchased, including onto the bundled operating system. I don't think it should be permissible for a company like Apple (or Microsoft or whoever) to sell me a gadget and then use various sorts of locks to try to keep me from putting whatever apps or app stores or services I like on it.

Does anyone have any argument for why this right would be a bad thing? People would get bad software on their phones, but last I checked, this is happening already, including on iOS. Apple would lose some margin, but last I checked, their investment in creating and maintaining iOS has been handsomely rewarded and would surely continue to be.
