Except that physical exercise is related to well understood, easily measurable mechanisms. Perhaps this article seeks to counterweight the overwhelmingly positive reputation that meditation etc has.
I think it's important to note that "they do not yet". CRDTs are an active area of research, relatively young, and it is not unreasonable to expect that new datastructures which DO align to users' mental models will appear in the not-too-distant future.
It's not super related. Worker's comp generally pays out for all injuries, even if the company did everything right to prevent them; it's more accident insurance than liability insurance.
The really surprising thing about this is that it took so long for people to think of it.

People have been painting eyes on boats for millennia (for no practical reason we know about--maybe our ancestors had a problem now passed?) and wearing fake eyes on their own backsides for decades, but painting cattle never came up.

Even more novel is the idea, suggested in the conclusion, of using eyespots to protect depleted predator species against retribution by armed herdkeepers.
"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."

With regards to the FBI not caring about your legal activities, I recommend you look into the FBI blackmailing of Martin Luther King Jr. and COINTELPRO more generally. Their historic behavior doesn't exactly warrant trust.
You can treat your NAS as a hardware RAID controller. You will get similar performance as you would get from treating your hardware RAID controller as an on-board NAS.
Airports, maybe.

Dubai?

Some wealthy cities look like that from a distance, due to monumental architecture, but the illusion often breaks down at ground level. Dubai, Singapore, etc.
Attempted murder is better than successful murder but I would much prefer neither.
I used to be the person in that letter, for years, and suffice it to say you're correct - the Apple community, at least on Twitter, is divided into those who Get It and understand that what Apple is doing is better for humanity, and those that don't.

Only the people that find their way to the 'right' arguments are consistently welcomed - more than a few famous people in the community had to backpedal into saying Epic is just as bad because they want to make money off app sellers too, and not only that, they _entrapped_ Apple.

Daring Fireball plays a key role in what exactly 'Get It' means - ex. the nauseating amount of people saying all this is cool because something something Epic is a big corporation too.
You can't improve the quality of the measurements. That's the point - the measurements were in the
past. The log books are all that exists, so you can only improve the quality of measurements being taken in the future.

In fact this has happened. After climatology skeptics made a big stink about the poor state of repair of the US weather station network, Congress commissioned a brand new one. Its construction took into account all the criticisms levelled by skeptics and basically put the matter to rest for newly collected US ground data:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Climate_Reference_Network

Last I checked the US wasn't actually using data from the new network, but that didn't matter because it currently matches the old network pretty well. The adjustments that cause a fuss are for past recordings, not current data.

At any rate, I haven't claimed this falsifies an entire area of study (what would it mean to falsify an area of study anyway?). Climatologists do indeed use temperature data from various sources. However, conclusions based on edited data sets would need to be re-done, otherwise it's not really science is it? And can you blame people for being skeptical when basic temperature history is constantly being re-issued in new 'versions'? Reading thermometers really isn't that hard.
Yes, the "consumers" should be exempted, not anyone selling solutions to do this or just giving them up for free. Which essentially means that unless you are an uber hacker that does this for their iPhones, nobody else can do it. It's pretty pointless in practice.
Event systems are able to guarantee at-least once delivery, so your application needs to be able to handle duplicate events in any case via idempotency.
Hmm... I'm pretty tech savvy I'd say, but I don't think there's anyway the benefits I'd gain outside Apple's wall garden would compare to the ecosystem I live in now.

Apple's rent seeking a bit with the App Store, but I have faith in their privacy protections, that they'll continue to support my devices for a long time after purchase, and that they'll be fairly prompt with security updates to all my devices.

And cobbling together the connections between ear phones, watch, phone, computer and TV would be quite tedious, probably no where near as smooth, and a pain in the ass to upkeep.

At the end of the day, besides my computer, I don't really give a hoot about side loading apps from different app stores, or I dunno... customizing things more I guess? I'm not really sure.

There is the possibility increased app store competition (say, if it was ruled anti-competitive to only allow Apple's App Store on Apple Products) would make Apple's App Store better though. Discovery can be kind of a pain in my opinion.

So, I'm not opposed to there being more app stores, but it'd probably take a fair amount of nudging to get me to actually try one.
So we agree then?
...and somehow pay for its rx/tx costs
"İ" and "ı" are not.
So you do agree but just misunderstood me. You should have made this post about your assumptions up front instead of asking for evidence of the wrong claim.

You people really need to stop hunting for racists under every rock! It blocks your ability to think as well as everyone else's when they're at risk of being attacked for failing to write the equivalent of "praise the Lord" at the end of every sentence to demonstrate their faithfulness.

just to clarify, what you desire is not specific to an office. you can have all of those things in a local community and many people who were remote before covid (including myself) were doing that.
I'm curious, how many apps do you have installed on your phone, and how many of them are paid ones? Especially, ones using subscription models? Less than 10, or dozens?

I have over a dozen and I really appreciate the ability to manage (or at least view) those in one place. Managing my non-app (website) subscriptions is quite a mess.

And it is only one advantage of the walled garden. I don't have to think much when I install an app - is it from the developer, or someone has tampered with it?
None of the US presidents every won the election "by way of popular vote", because popular vote is not the way US presidential election is won. It's like complaining that a team who made the most goals won the soccer match instead of the team that run the fastest and has the prettiest shirts, how unfair that is especially that scoring the goal is completely pointless anyway.

Those are the rules. Any rules have people that think they could win if only the rules were different - but they aren't, so every US president is elected according to the rules for US presidential elections, not some other imaginary rules. Time to stop whining about it. If you want to change the rules - there's constitutional amendment procedure, go after it, good luck. Until you're done and the rules are changed, don't whine about somebody winning by the rules that are in play at the time.
At launch, Apple operated the App Store hoping to break even, and 30% wasn't quite doing it at first.

On a $.99 app, they still might not. I mean, they might, given economies of scale, but barely. Free apps incur costs with zero compensation. If all apps cost 99 cents, I don't think we'd be having this conversation. If Apple were still operating the App Store at break-even, I don't think we'd be having this conversation.

Apps with IAPs that are $9.99, that's a lot of extra profit. Apple might argue that they help offset all of the free apps, but obviously a company like Epic is going to feel singled out.

Apple is no longer only trying to break even with the App Store. They have openly stated that it is profitable, and that they want it to be more so. Epic and others with higher-than-99-cents sales don't like giving up so much, and I can't say I blame them.
> when people push the issue they'll be reminded that they work 'at will' and are welcome to leave at any time.

This is one of those grey zones I was thinking of => if the boss/employer wouldn't have a valid reason not to allow its employees to work remotely (e.g. because s/he doesn't trust them and therefore wants to supervise them personally), such a "push" could be considered irresponsible?
Thank you for saying this. I grew up in a rundown suburb in the middle of the desert, so I feel very lucky to be able to live in SF now. It’s not perfect of course, but I’m proud to be able to call this place home.

Well, as with all projects, the scope has creeped a little bit already, so I won't say never to that! It's definitely something I could be open to adding in the future, if I can think of a good way to fit it in with this tool.
Coronavirus face masks: an environmental disaster that might last generations
This clearly and unambiguously crosses the line into abuse of market power. Apple's actions before? Maybe? Sort of? Apple needed that 30 percent cut to monitor for fraud and quality or something, going above-and-beyond other payment processors.

This? This has absolutely no basis in anything. It's simple retaliation designed to kneecap Epic from Apple's dominant control of a market. Apple can refuse to let Epic release games, without stopping Epic's Apple development dead in its tracks. That accomplishes all reasonable business purposes.
The point is the author of the blog is spreading FUD by saying "you can't leave your Yubikey unattended because anybody can take it and use it to SSH without your consent".

That is a falsehood and deserves to be called out.

I don't mind "revolutionary ideas", but don't use your platform to spread FUD.
another thing i noticed is that every job posting will have a slew of fake applicants apply to it as to discourage people from applying. had a friend who wanted to apply for a job, however it said that 100 people or so already applied on indeed. i told her to apply anyways. she got a call that day from the manager and when she asked them how many other applicants there were, they told her 3. manager even confirmed that most applications they were getting were blatantly fake.

That is what I was meaning, to me C and FORTRAN are mostly "the same" except at a surface level, and FORTRAN has multidimensional arrays and regions (a slight abstraction that can help the compiler, in particular, for automatic parallelization of loops)
"laws are complex for the purpose of gaming them"

Would saying simpler laws that everyone can understand and obey be better? That was the thing I agreed with but my friend, doing tax tricks and making more money when unemployed, as well as lawyers who get people off serious crimes are adept at finding loopholes because law is confusing.

If you aren't smart you aren't going to get good legal advice you have to understand the implications. It is clear that is what happens in courts to many people. If there is a simple Wikipedia for people to use, why is there no simple laws for those who aren't lawyers to understand?
Apple Threatens to Terminate Epic Games' Developer Accounts on August 28
The question is not what Google presumably does but what they actually do.

A lot of people and developers feel the same way about these technologies as the author. They are just opinions, and yours is obviously different, but I wouldn't say it is pitiful.

This is awesome info. Literally bookmarking this. Thanks! To your point, my kids fell in love with "Blaze and the monster machines" (a nickelodeon production that I actually like) and the 3 year old would talk about concepts from the shows for weeks after (centripetal force, reciprocating saws, stabilizer legs, metal = hard).
I agree, but also you can be critical without being an asshat.

It's better to comment from a perspective of "I bet you didn't know this" than "Ha, you're an idiot"
I'll gladly sign up for a FAANG job to take someone's spot who is overly fearful of infection. The salary is just too good and is totally worth the risk.
Why not Chuck Schumer, who has been winning elections for 40 years without a loss?

Clearly one should care about the fairness of the election process, not that someone wins lots of elections. To say that winning multiple elections is the same as ending democracy is, as I said, an absurd take.
Three fundamental truths about uncertainty
It's not a monopoly. There is an alternative which dominates the market share. This simply is not a monopoly.

> Apple absolutely has market dominance over apps that are sold on the iphone.

This is just wrong. This would hold true if no alternative exists. There currently is not an app the iPhone offers that isn't matched in functionality anywhere else.

This doesn't pass basic legal sniff tests.
Western yoga has been evolving over the last couple of centuries. An age-old proverb says - Truth is one, wise express it in many ways. Indian teachers came to the West and Westerners went to India to learn about Indian Philosophy - Yoga. Ideally speaking, Yoga is free for all. Some teachers started charging a fee for making a living, which may be fine. Slowly dilution of purpose occurred and some worst-case teachers turned to be opportunists. The result is most of the Western Yoga schools/studios focus on postures, yoga pants for flexibility a few raise to teaching breathing techniques for a calmer mind, and rarely few pickup the actual spirit of Yoga described in original texts Bhagavad Gita or Patanjali yoga sutras.

" The total structure of life requires of our total being to be united with it in a practical demonstration of thought, speech and action – this is yoga." [https://www.swami-krishnananda.org/patanjali/raja_01.html]

If you want to know what yoga is, a good starting point is Aurobindo's "The Synthesis of Yoga "[http://www.sriaurobindo.nl/docs/Sri%20Aurobindo/23-24TheSynt...]

Lastly, it is a happy coincidence people (including Indians) like yoga exercises. Most of us will be happy with the results of the exercises resulting in flexibility and transient calmness in mind. Real seekers go after Yoga for years and it is not available down the street or online. In reality, ultimate Yoga - a union of gross, subtle, and causal bodies - is very high-bar to reach.

Hopefully, it gives some people a glimpse of the original idea of Yoga. I'm sorry if this is too wordy and preachy.
How long does it take to create a website from scratch?
What's going on here is a collision between the way certain terms are used in two different fields.

People who learn about tensors and vectors in the culture of Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or Physics, are strenuously trained that a "vector" is not just any list of numbers, but a specific mathematical object with specific properties. (Similarly with tensors.) In that culture, the use of the term "vector" the way it is used in Software Engineering looks quite odd. An undergraduate might even have a problem set that shows various number triples and be asked to identify which ones are vectors and which ones aren't.

I was educated under that system, but spent years as a software engineer, so I am comfortable switching between the two contexts. When I wear my Software Engineer hat, I am quite comfortable with the generalized use of vector and tensor as done in software and ML, but for someone who has only grown up in one culture, it looks very wrong.
It talks about cubicals. It says "cubicals are coming to an end". The authors aren't familiar with the open offices...
Wow. I am the author of this email. I have no idea how it resurfaced after 5 years, I was only made aware of this when a friend emailed me the HN link.

The sad thing is it was not just my company which was targeted, but Apple removed this entire product category. We never knew the real reason why, or if it was bigger than just a random app reviewer trying to apply Apple policy, until May 2019.

That's when Bloomberg interviewed Phillip Shoemaker, who ran app reviews from 2009 to 2016 - regarding how Apple systemically removes whole categories of apps. I subsequently spoke to Phillip Shoemaker, who confirmed that Apple executives ordered the elimination of apps that drove downloads to the App Store. He said "Your app drove download volume. Apple doesn’t want any outside sources to drive ratings. So yeah, we got rid of all app recommendation apps." He said he thought it was unfair, but this was something Apple set out to do, and even as Senior Director of App Store (person directly in charge of App Review), he could not stop it.

The other thing that was hard to understand, is we used to have a great relationship with Apple. We were not flying under the radar. Since the App Store first launched in 2008, we used to be invited to all Apple events to see the new product launches, we met with the iTunes team to discuss upcoming initiates for the App Store, our apps were featured on the devices inside of many demo units into Apple Stores. It felt like a complete 180, and until this day I never got a formal conversation on what they actually objected to, beyond being pointed to a vague rule which was applied arbitrarily. They became a brick wall in terms of communication, and this is why I resorted to emailing Tim Cook. I assumed nothing would come of it, but it was the last thing I could think of.I never received a response, and never knew if he even got it, so I was shocked to see it again today from his inbox.

The App Store is as much the product as the iPhone.

Without the app store the iPhone is literally just a piece of hardware. The idea that the App Store isn't a product in and of itself is a falsehood.

> A service implies app developers have options. They do not.

They do - it's called Android.
Are you interested in changing it? I don't know if there is a PM option here, but I had good success with using tACS for other reasons and it had the side effect of restoring my mental vision for a few things. I haven't used it in a while so it's possible that it is temporary.

That's interesting. Other posters on this topic have asserted that the directive names Google and Facebook specifically, and nobody else. That's why I say it looks like a clear cut WTO sanctions case. The law would not apply even to Twitter at the moment, let alone Australian services.

True. I'd been looking at an older version of gnu patch when I thought it hadn't been patched to fix this... It looks like it had a while ago...

No hard feelings @Pneumaticat. ;)

Most places where I use the FIDO feature of Yubi (e.g. Github), you still need to provide username and password. So an abandoned Yubi is still of limited use assuming your password is stored securely.
The funny thing is, if you type print with space it recognizes what you meant, and still wouldn't do it, raising an exception instead. It would've cost them literally nothing to support both ways to write print, since the parser has to detect statement print anyway.
Hey, that's cool! thanks!
How did we get from the attitude that web apps will be everything and native is backward to spending a lot of time concerned with App/Play Store monopolies?

I guess my question is, why do native apps suddenly matter so much?
Prices are set by what the market will bear

That's the entire issue right there. When Apple is the market, then they can make it whatever they want. If Apple has to legitimately compete with other "App Stores", then the market will find a lower price than 30%.
Mailto: Me Your Secrets. On Bugs and Features in Email End-to-End Encryption [pdf]
There's no need to be skeptical. We live in a physical world where all information must be represented by a physical entity.

By induction there will be limits no matter what. You cannot have an infinite amount of memory in your head. You cannot have an infinite amount of anything anywhere.

However abstract something is, the symbolic nature of an abstraction must utilize at least one atom. For example, let's say we have a big number... <the number nine> that we want to abstract. We can choose to have that number be represented by a single symbol "9" rather than nine actual things. This is the true nature of what abstraction is, using smaller symbols to represent bigger things aka compression. But for that symbol to even exist it must be written down or memorized somewhere. This takes up physical space. Even your computer hard drive must use physical magnets flipped to different polarities to represent memory.

The biggest possible abstraction of a real world phenomena in terms of magnitude is to represent the entire universe with a single atom. In the end atoms take up space and even the biggest possible abstraction of the entire universe must take up the space of at least one atom. Your memories are no different... they are just symbols representing aspects of your life experience. Likely your memories take up much more space than a single atom and if your memories take up space and you have a finite amount of space in your skull, then by logic your memory is finite... this categorically true by logic.

Whether the finite memory problem is solved by garbage collection or whether it's not solved at all and people simply go insane is undetermined.

What is known for sure is that your memory is finite.
Yep, that rings a bell. :)

All the best to you.
