I agree, at least as far as direct brain-to-device communication, blue-tooth-like. You won't need a screen, you just "think" to the UI. I suspect this trend will start in some poorly regulated country and when they show promising results, research interest will spike and safer products will then come out.
Probably not the only one ....
That's a very flimsy definition of the difference. Game consoles are generally much more powerful general-purpose PCs that can do everything an iPhone can do (except connecting to cell networks). They tend to be full multimedia consumption devices and can also manage other electronics in your home (lights, security cameras, etc.). Any supposed benefit iPhone owners would gain from being able to run unsigned code would also apply to console owners.
That doesn’t sound legal in the EU. Is it true in Europe that to be an independent repair shop you have to get your customers to consent to having their personal data processed by Apple before they can get their phone fixed?

Unlike other SpaceX projects, SpaceX has been more quite about this, but fans new it was coming for a long time. However now that they start to show of ground systems and actually launch, you see more and more news about it come out.

I think once they start to roll it out to beta testers who are allowed to talk about it, you will see a much more.

Covid-19: What If ‘Herd Immunity’ Is Closer Than Scientists Thought?
Exactly. It's not a conscious policy decision by government, but a corollary of:

* Stock markets should be allowed because they allow for efficient allocation of capital, allowing for economic growth

* Access to stock markets should be available for all, for as cheaply as possible so everyone can reap the gains
Open to those with an Apple Developer account. It's not open to everyone. The licensing process is just easier than for consoles.

Testing in Node.js Using Mocha and Chai [1/2]
Thanks. It's still an experiment, and about to be restarted (was going to be learning modern C++ and some APIs for work, but direction shifted and I'm now on a Java project, which I haven't used in a long time). I'd actually like to try this for J, but work and Spanish (to speak with the in-laws) are my personal priorities right now. Perhaps in October I'll start studying J to use for this next Advent of Code. I have been getting the itch to relearn it. I learned a large chunk of it circa 2010, but haven't touched it since, then APL in 2015 or 2016. I've never used either professionally or for a major project so a lot of things have been forgotten.

I'm basing my experiment on what I learned using Anki for language learning. Much like you said, you need larger statements and to develop an understanding of them. For Spanish I have some loose writing/speaking prompts and some reading prompts (not copying the text, but a prompt to go to today's newspapers and read some articles and explain them to my wife or to read some paragraphs from a book). How well I can complete these without needing a dictionary or to ask for assistance determines how I mark the cards. It seems to work decently, they come up almost like pop quizzes in school classes since the spaced repetition system means I don't see the same prompts each day. I think it should work to have project prompts for programming languages in the same manner.

>If you want to be able to jailbreak a device it must be illegal to lock it down like that

I'm not sure why you're putting this in terms of iOS, since many Android devices also ship with a locked bootloader.

>there is no reason why jailbreaking a device is inherently possible

Any iDevice with an A11 or earlier has an unpatchable bootloader flaw that absolutely makes it inherently jailbreakable. Apple cannot prevent you from jailbreaking those devices, nor can it patch the flaw with a future version of the OS.

Ask HN: Does anyone know of any Remote Management for iPads?
I am used to using Apple Remote Desktop to manage laptops.

But my kids are using iPad's this year for school and I was wondering if there was a way to manage the apps and do some basic setup on them without having to do it twice?

I might just get an old laptop for them because iPad management is just time consuming. Or Chromebooks?
I hear ya, but something smells real bad about how Epic decided to wage this war.
They were clearly picking this fight, now I am not sure that was such a good idea.
I'm not sure I wanted kids, i did for a long time, when i was more religious, but after leaving Mormonism was like eh... whatever. Wife was born to be a mom though, so we kept doing fertility treatments and got two little boys.

FFS, I almost missed out on this dad thing? Scares the shit out of me, I could be so callous about the best thing ever in my life. I'd probably steal a nuke or something and attack china if anything happened to my kids (sarcasm), but seriously. They brighten up my day most of the times I see them (when they're not sending me into a rage because there's baking chocolate everywhere lol).

tldr; Dadhood scared me, worried me, and I started getting comfortable as a childless person, but wouldn't trade being a dad for a million dollars. Not even a billion.
Apple already actively censors political content in apps and actively works with Chinese government to censor content on Chinese AppStore.

A private company is already put themselves in plate to control software content that reaches millions of people without those people having the ability to choose anything else on their pocket computers.
> consumers end up paying more for the apps because the app developers have to increase their price to cover Apple's cut.

I don’t think so. When we determined our app’s monthly price we have A/B tested several price like $5/month, $8/month, $15/month. And we have chosen the one that we earned most (It was the expensive one). If the Apple’s cut will become 10%, we won’t change our price because would earn less. Therefore, Apple’s cut won’t change most of the apps’ price.
> The concept of meditation has its origins in Hindu scriptures.

That's overloading the word meditation unnecessarily. There are decidedly non-Hindu forms of meditation that people around the world practice.

One example is Christian meditation as described in the Bible, which takes an antithetic form to Hindu meditation: the goal is to "meditate" on specific doctrines or scriptures from the Bible. The idea is that there is a definite "content" upon which one meditates: the practitioner fills the mind instead of attempting to empty it or focus attention on the self. A common illustration is that of an animal chewing the cud; and (iirc) the Hebrew word for "meditate" comes from the term for cows chewing the cud.

Video game consoles are specialized hardware. They do one thing and they do it well. It's kind of understandable that these companies want to review anything released for those. They want to ensure that games are of high quality so as to not hurt the reputation of the platform itself. They want games to help sell consoles. And that's how video game consoles always worked.

iPhones, on the other hand, are not specialized. They're general-purpose devices at this point — both by design and by how Apple markets them. The problem is, both developers and users see the app store and its policies as a nuisance.
> I don't ever want to be in the position that PC users are stuck in, where they can be forced to install certain stores just to get access to the games they want to play.

You realize that the alternative... is no game, right? That's what Epic is showing to consumers...

I'm pretty sure you answered yes here, now you do realize that you aren't forced to install certain stores, not installing them would only remove your capacities to... get that game that wouldn't happen either way in your better scenario.

The only time you are forced on anything, is right now with Apple, where you can't install that others app store that would allow you to get that game. On Android, you got that choice. I don't have the Epic Launcher on my Android phone, just like you don't on your iOS device, the difference is that I chose not to.
Bingo. Going to an IBM VAR/Partner is really the only decent/sane way to navigate the IBM sales bureaucracy unless you're talking about US$(high 7-figure plus) orders. It's also really the best way to get the best price, because the VAR will work to figure out all the discounts and such a customer might be entitled to. On an IBM sales team, the left hand doesn't always know or care what the right hand is doing.

When I worked at IBM, I usually called in a favor from friends at a local VAR whenever I needed to order something to get a BoM, because even internally the process was opaque.
IME, they've really hobbled the functionality of independent repair shops, making it necessary to supplicate to the Apple Store. I was trying to get the battery replaced in a 2015 MBP and the independent shops were 'required' to keep my machine for about 7 days since they had to first 'diagnose' that the battery was dying, order it, wait for it to arrive, and then replace it. In contrast, one could make an appointment at the Apple Store to get the battery replaced while one waited.
Carolina to switch to remote instruction, reduce residential density
The California Highway Patrol mostly uses—or used, as of 10-ish years ago—206s. I know this because a member of my flying club was a patrolman who was trying to get enough hours in a C206 to switch to aerial patrols. We went on a couple of mountain flying trips to Colorado together.

According to him, the state much preferred to take cops and turn them into pilots, than to take pilots and turn them into cops. But anyone who wanted to go that route had to pay for their own flight time. (Commercial rating requires 250 hours, and I think they wanted at least a hundred hours "time in type." I don't think they required an ATP rating, but my recollection about that could be incorrect.)
Can I bring back my iPhone back to the store if the app I want is banned after the sale happened?
> Multiple launchers is NOT ideal.

Absolutely agreed, but consider what would happen if only one of those game stores you mention were allowed to be installed on your gaming PC. Then you'd have to go through a single gatekeeper, and I bet you a bunch of the games you like just wouldn't be available at all, because they'd either have been capriciously rejected, or because their developers can't make the terms work to their satisfaction. But because this mythical single game store is the only game in town (heh), there's no recourse.

Or maybe most, or even all, of those games you play might be available on this single app store. But expect them to be worse, because their developers have to pay a middleman a larger fee for distribution, which leaves less money to build the game itself. Expect them to be missing features, because this gatekeeper makes it harder to build some features, even if it's through well-meaning policies.

It absolutely floors me that people on a site called Hacker News are praising the role of a gatekeeping corporation that locks down devices they own to the point that they don't even really own them.
I loved that app! Apple killed your service and the AppStore ‘wish list’ feature and my app discovery/purchasing habits returned back to the web...
Every company is smaller than Apple (for certain definitions of "smaller").
My ex-spouse was a chronic liar, too. When they first told me about being gaslit by their family, I knew to be cautious. What I didn't understand at the time was that I'd implicitly agreed to never challenge them on a lie.

As years went by, I noticed a tendency to "fish story" everything. What was weird is that I'd remember something very clearly, like we ran for 4 miles or whatever, and as I listened them retell the story, it would be 5, 6, 9 miles, growing with each retelling. When challenged, they'd act surprised as if they truly believed it, and simply misremembered. Sometimes, they'd try to convince me that I was the one with the faulty memory. Shit, who's gaslighting who here?

This turned into a big problem after the honeymoon period. It took me a very long time to figure out that they would hear me say something, interpret it as an attack, and then deduce that I was attacking them for a certain purpose. Then they'd challenge me on attacking for whatever purpose, I'd be like "I don't remember doing anything like that" and they'd accuse me of gaslighting. Whatever their true beliefs, I was being gaslit through this "fish story" cycle. We tried counseling for years, and I eventually broke it off after it became clear that they weren't going to miraculously start a good faith approach to our relationship.

I planned the end of our relationship around a significant life event of theirs -- I didn't want to fuck that up, and I had patience. The morning of my planned departure, the day after their big thing, I learned that the whole fucking thing was a lie -- they admitted that they wanted me to be impressed, so they fish story'd that too. To this day, I don't understand that moment of honesty. They suspected that I was on the way out, and when... maybe it was guilt, maybe it was a hail mary... but what I do know is that they were conscious and deliberate about that lie, I'd never trust an answer to the question, and I'm glad they're out of my life

If you are consistent in your claims and believe that all computing devices, including smartphones, game consoles, e-book readers, GPS watches, car entertainment centers, etc. should be required to provide a way for owners to run unsigned code, then my accusations of inconsistency do not apply to you.

In fact, I see much much less vitriol aimed towards game console store policy than iOS App Store policy. That's why I mention it.
They can't legally enforce it because the BBC guy has no special power to inspect your telly set and it's not technically a tax (as long as you don't consume BBC content). They also include YouTube/iPlayer consumption of BBC so it's unenforceable on a technical level too.

You can't attack other users like this on HN.

It would still be a phone.

That said, of course developers built the market, but not every developer built the market. Apple developers built it. Other developers have chosen to sell inside of it.

Without Apple Developers creating the store itself those developers couldn't sell anything. Apple could 100% do that if they wanted. In fact, the first iPhone was as such.
Oh, it does. You just can't handle the wait :)
There's some discussion here about how destructive/unwise trading services like Robinhood can be.

If you're looking for an alternative, I've had a great experience with "robo-advisers" (Betterment, specifically). Many of the same advantages as something like Robinhood: $0 account minimum, 100% digital (create and manage your account through the website/app, no paperwork, no representatives), easy to cash-out with just a couple days' notice. The difference is that they automatically allocate a diversified portfolio for you and let you control simple things like the stocks/bonds percentage you want to have (a proxy for risk-tolerance). They do general investment accounts (analogous to index funds), as well as IRAs and savings. Fees are modest and automatically deducted from your growing balance. Dividends and gains are automatically re-invested in a tax-efficient way.

For several years now I've put all of my excess money into Betterment aside from some basic emergency savings. If you want a minimal-effort way to make your money grow and/or don't have much to invest, I highly recommend it.

Also: I promise I'm a real person and this isn't a shill :)
I've noticed that managers tend to over-emphasize the benefits of boring (solved problems, consistency, easy to hire for), and devs tend to over-emphasize the downsides (verbosity, cruft, harder to attract top tier talent, harder to keep top tier talent). Few people recognize the need to strike a balance.
