> Who says the iPhone is a general platform? It’s not, it’s a closed platform with specific features designed and implemented by its manufacturer. One of those features is a mechanism for installing additional software modules.

Apple themselves? Part of their marketing is literally that you can do everything on their devices.

> Should we really be requiring Apple or any manufacturer, by law, to implement specific defined features to support and enable side loading and management of external apps.

I can't see why not, the mobile app market has terrible competition, there's a big market issue here.

> some steering is possible by moving the receivers, or antennas, around a platform suspended by cables high above the dish. The cable that broke this week was not one of the main support cables but one of several auxiliary ones added in the 1990s to stabilize the platform when a large new antenna, known as the Gregorian dome, was added.

If anyone is curious, in this article there is a picture where you can see the suspended platform with the "Gregorian dome":

The same model dates back to the first game consoles. As much as people love freedom the utility of curated lists of applications that work without issues is a major selling point. I don’t think effectively banning consoles and app stores is a net win for consumers as long as the option exists for a competitive open platform.

Walmart clearly falls under a geographic area. There's a physical store. You can measure the competition in that geographic area and you can look at what other choices consumers have.

An iPhone is clearly a different case. Measuring what options users have is not limited by a geographic region but by what policies and app stores govern the device.

Not sure "mirrored" would stop light being projected back through but may well help disguise it. Maybe a simple black LCD layer to block the outgoing light might help.

> The Thai and Philippines kids aren’t tossed in the same Asian bucket. The Asian bucket is actually the Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Indian kids.

The buckets are defined by the US federal government [1], and then get used by educational institutions and employers as checkboxes on forms whose answers are used to compute diversity statistics. And the US federal government's "Asian" bucket is defined as "A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam". So that definition does explicitly include Thais and Filipinos

Maybe we'll replace masks by astronaut's helmets like in all some dystopia games, with lights inside to show our face like in SF movies (so they show the actor's face, glare be damned).
But if people are already putting in extra effort to get these features working in their unified markup language, then it isn't different (from the perspective of effort) to write separate versions. In fact, it might be easier, because at that point you're working in a language custom designed for the task at hand, not trying to shoe horn a spoken-word UI into a visual UI language.

From [0] 2018: "In [1] we present an entirely diagrammatic presentation of quantum the-ory with applications in quantum foundations and quantum information.This was the result of many years of work by many, and started of as acategory-theoretic axiomatisation motivated by computer science as well asaxiomatic physics. However, I have always felt that the diagrammatic pre-sentation is of great use in its own right, be it to bridge disciplines, makequantum theory more easy to grasp, or, for educational purposes, in [2] wemade the bolt claim that using diagrams high-school kids could even out-perform their teachers, or university students. Now, we will put this claimto the test. To do so, we have written two tutorials [3,4], covering exactlythe same material, but one only using diagrams, while the other containsthe standard Hilbert space presentation. There are corresponding sets ofexamples too."

It does matter if your goal is to sue Apple on anti-trust grounds, as Epic has done.
> Almost no one is complaining about Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo's "monopolies" on what software runs on their video game consoles.

In general, those console platform owners have been much friendlier to publishers than Apple (and maybe Google) since game publishers generally have much more negotiation power against console platform holders. Nintendo's primary weak point has been lack of 3rd-party games. MS and Sony compete with each other to gain more exclusive offers and they even provide substantial subsidiary to developers. If you want to enforce your own arbitrary rule at the cost of losing CoD, I don't think it's going to be a good trade-off. Creative contents are usually not replaceable and publishers don't really have incentives to attack game platform holders in this dynamic.

The same thing doesn't really apply to App stores since 1. the upfront cost for buying a phone compared to usual apps is much higher (>100x), especially for the premium phone comparable to iPhone, while it's <10x for usual consoles 2. Apple (and Google) also has their own alternative services for many popular apps so hurting competitors by setting arbitrary rules is actually beneficial for them. In short, having a monopolistic status itself is not problematic but exercising it is.
I recently noticed how severely is Android limitted in this during the recent Android Firefox update fiasco.

On desktop linux I could have just backed up the profile folder and downgraded the package & it might not have hit the repositories at all due to negative user feedback.
Property developers have to buy up the section of a block to demo(lish) and build something worthwhile. Many of the buildings are individually/family owned, with little incentive to change/think about change or some pride in passing the building down generationally. If you have an annuity (rents) sitting on top of appreciating land value and you're old or a son/daughter (usually living elsewhere collecting a rent cheque), why bother/how can you convince your neighbors to as well? That's why the section around Ainslie and Union I mentioned was able to be converted, they're all business/warehouses, a condo there now was in the 1940 picture an auto repair garage with the same footprint as the condo, but the house next to it still stands as is.
Eh, I'm not entirely sure I would have. The effect is near identical to when you have one person behind another, pretending to be the front person's arms and hands - the motions just don't match up right.

Yep, and I think a few Meego derivatives might still be out there, as well. Also, Maemo was revived as Maemo Leste for platforms like the Pinephone, although I'm not sure how active the project is.
Outstanding website, very cool way to take look back in time.
I have an incurable serious condition. My little family lives with a lot of best practices that don't involve anything like masks or helmets.

I keep wondering if there's any way to export those practices to the world at large but it seems extremely unlikely given the open and aggressive hostility I'm met with for any suggestion whatsoever that there might exist a better idea than masks.

What you're describing existed. It was called plugins. Back in the Old DaysTM, browsers just rendered documents, and if you wanted whiz-bang interactivity features, you ponied up for a copy of Macromedia Flash. Or Director, if you wanted more features and could tolerate it's long plugin download times. Or, if you were more developer-minded, you wrote Java Applets (or, later on, Silverlight apps).

Things like Flash didn't ultimately supplant the web, but this is primarily due to three forces:

1. Adobe's insistence on new Player features over security
2. Google's insistence on adding new features to HTML5 via Chrome to support internal business goals
3. Apple's insistence on killing plugins dead to keep the iPhone secure (and cut Adobe out of the developer tools market)

The only vestige of plugins that remains are EME implementations (so-called "HTML5 DRM"), but that's purely due to legal reasons.

Had HTML not grown to supplant the use cases of plugins, I think it would have stuck around, if only because all those plugins required significant expense to make use of. I doubt Adobe would have, say, tried to make a web browser in Flash just to cut the HTML middleman out.

There is a set advertised price, at CarMax. I always go there. But the negotiation allows more information to pass through the transaction. Is the dealer eager to sell because this car has been sitting on the lot (they overestimated its value)? Is the buyer eager to buy because they hate comparison shopping? This way the comparison shoppers and splurgers both end up paying close to what the car is worth to them, rather than being charged some average price that leads to fewer sales to the shoppers and less profit from the splurgers.

Iowa Derecho: A Historic Failure in Journalism
"foo" is type casted into an int and, since it's not an int even when casted, it gets casted to a falsey 0.

(int)"9" === 9

(int)"a" === 0

I assume this will cause backward incompatibility? I could see people relying on this instead of is_numeric. Not sure I like this change, since it introduces multiple ways of type casting (and therefore complexity). Before, it was obscure but simple, now, it'd be both obscure and not simple.

EDIT: It will cause backward incompatibility
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/string_to_number_comparison

I'm surprised this was 44 against 1 in the vote. Seems like it's very likely to cause issues. IMO they should just implement a "strict comparison" mode, where comparing different types throws a runtime exception. Or just deprecate "==" for "===".
Does Fenix let you install userscripts? You could use https://github.com/bentasker/RemoveAMP.

This is what I use on my Jailbroken iPhone.
All iOS jailbreaks are a result of security vulnerabilities, which Apple tends to fix almost as soon as they're discovered - and ultimately, it's Apple's responsibility to make their sandbox secure, regardless of what's running in it. I also don't see how installing outside apps would make jailbreaks any easier, given that you can already connect your phone to a computer and temporarily install an app on it (and for people who are motivated to jailbreak, this isn't much of a hurdle).

I haven't done enough iOS development to know for sure, but I'm assuming Apple could prevent private API usage by apps through technical means, rather than just app review.
I have bought (for money) hundreds of iPad apps. Maybe 2 or 3 have been complete and total duds. I’ve bought (for money) tens of pieces of software directly from the developers’ websites with at least as many complete and total duds.

I’ll take the App Store experience thanks. Doesn’t matter to me what they charge. If developers want my money they’ll take the 30% haircut.

Here's already another platform that does just fine with sandboxing. It's been running for 27+ years. It's called a the web browser. Restrictions against using private APIs.... you can't call any private APIs, it's impossible. Find an exploit? It's generally fixed in a few days.

Software isn't even installed, new versions are downloaded daily or more so the concept of sandboxing as been throughly tested and proven effective for those 27 years.
Google hasn’t bricked your phone (yet) and they bricked mine so you expect me to be excited? You said any old Android phone could run the newest stuff but it’s a lie. I can still use my original iPhone other than it being slow but I literally cannot use my HTC phone that Google deactivated the auth server for. There is no “update to the newest Android” because the hardware is “too old” for modern Android and they cut the phone off from upgrades. Which is fine, except they also cut off the DNS for the “login to Android” feature so it’s bricked. It would have been a great travel phone still as it had been for many years, but Google got greedy.

There was no cyanogen or other alternative supported. It’s not a matter of googling more. They didn’t support the phone model.
What is your suggestion for a better idea than masks for the current respiratory pandemic?
> When you develop a website, aside from the design, it works or it doesn’t.

This really isn’t true. There are websites and web apps that “work” but are really suboptimal from a performance and UX perspective. It’s possible to do this right, but it’s much easier to do a poor job. You end up with something that kind of works and may even be profitable but which is a boat anchor around your company compared to a better approach.
>Maybe DDG needs a browser extension that let's you seamlessly provide feedback with every !g to teach them what you were actually looking for.

Everyone is concentrating on the wrong thing.

There are two possible kinds of voter fraud (both extremely rare), "retail fraud" (i.e. individual voters) and "wholesale fraud" (i.e. bulk fraud). Voter ID laws mostly "fix" a non-existent problem of individual false votes with the express intent of discouraging votes. The real problem you want to fix is "wholesale fraud" which means securing the whole system from voting machines (which should be open-source and paper-audited) to how votes are tallied. Think about it. If you were going to steal votes would you go to all the trouble to forge or hijack individual votes or would you bribe someone to flip a couple of digits at a county office?

Of course, a trustworthy system includes how mail-in votes are tracked and verified but that is a well-understood problem working well for thousands and thousands of absentees, military personnel and whole states full of people who have voted that way regularly for decades.
Or maybe a cultural and societal win...

I was expecting the Walter Cronkite part to be the fake thing here in a clever twist.

They'd pass through the Nixon questions and then say "Alright, but what about Walter Cronkite?" My true advocacy would be to use another contemporary big three anchor from the era as the deep fake, then show the real Cronkite footage during the quiz at the end

That's the real lesson IMHO, not if you can tell when you're prompted to listen for it, but when you aren't.
Google's position isn't so cut and dry. They allow alternative app stores, and even installing apks from any rando with a website. Google makes sure you know there's risks, but it's easy to do. That's an extremely different situation than Apple.

Google basically says, "we have a store. Sell through us and we take a cut. Or sell directly, or through some other store, and we'll warn users that we haven't vetted that stuff for security etc."
There is a war between your immune system and your environment, with constant escalation. Every time people meet they exchange germs. Most often it's something your immune system has already seen, but sometimes you're tired or it's something that's mutated or that's brand new.

Unless we live in a literal bubble with filtered air, we're going to be germy.

The safest way to not be germy is likely to live in a sunny dry place away from people but then it's usually hot and maybe amazon doesn't deliver.
