I'm not sure they want to create more, there is a risk of "rebel's dilemma" if there are too many or things get too awful.

But the Republican party is merely the political wing of a certain aristocratic mind set which includes conservatism: rich people are better people, it is a fact. There should be either no public services or inferior versions compared to the free market, because that's how rich people are rewarded for being inherently superior people - they can afford to buy more and better things. This properly includes education, health care, clean air and water, and justice. These things are not rights. They are products you buy.

It's similar to prosperity theology. The closer to god, the more you are rewarded. The more rewarded you are, the closer to the deity you must be. Monarchies, feudalism, and Mandate of Heaven.
Last time I used the PS4 Spotify app was a couple of years ago but you were stuck on the lowest quality settings. And you could tell. I think it's only available on there so they can say it is.
> "Open source" doesn't necessarily mean "practical to maintain." Can an open source organization maintaining a fork of Firefox in their free time in addition to the obligations of their regular job keep up with the hundreds of webcompat issues being filed and over 3,000 open issues on the preview version of Firefox on Android alone?

Blink (Chrome's engine) was once KHTML. KHTML was maintained entirely by volunteers, so I think it's entirely possible for a team of volunteers to maintain a web rendering engine.

I think most people severely underestimate how much of a modern web browser is code that does things completely unrelated to rendering web content (think telemetry and the like ,etc). Now, telemetry also needs a backend to send data to, and servers to run that backend on.

My point is that many of the people that work on a modern browser are working on things that are unrelated to rendering web content, so their equivalent would not be needed in a volunteer team. You don't need any admins to administer the servers that run the telemetry backend services if you don't have any telemetry in your browser.
No, the judge found that despite Harvard having introduced the current system to discriminate, and the current system discriminating, the plaintiffs hadn't shown Harvard maintained the system to discriminate against them.
No, as referenced below, the original tweet by a first year student UCSF Med was removed. But original tweet and some of the drama from /r/premed below. Apparently figures were shared in privately in acceptance emails during height of protests. The rest of the numbers was Asian community extrapolating from acceptance and demographic data from past years. I guess we'll wait until official data updates to confirm.

Rossum: You're crazy. I love it. Amazing! Can't wait to try it.

Especially considering the cost, this would be a wonderful addition to any standard definition TVs still in use.
The only reason Microsoft and Apple don't do that in their desktop OSs is because they were products of their generation. They will probably will never have to do it anyways, because the marketshare of mobile will continue to grow as desktops slowly die. Eventually all major platforms will take a share.
you’re comparing hardware to software which i don’t think is fair.

apple creates the marketplace, the OS, and the hardware.

it’s a much more complex issue which is more analogous to if windows required all users to use internet explorer, which we know is monopolistic.

there’s also much more friction switching software like stripe than hardware like your iphone

Not quite no questions asked - you first need to enable a setting, then get through the warnings. That said, Android comes with an ability to install other _App Stores_
Was that really the philosophy of the USSR? Marx argued against the abstract notion of equality to begin with (and more concretely, the idea of equality between people) and Lenin explicitly rebuked the notion that equality means anything more than class equality for socialists. The whole phrase "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is precisely against equality - it recognizes that people have different abilities, talents, capabilities, and things happening in the course of life, and it recognizes that people have different needs, wishes, and desires.

Unless you're saying that the USSR's underlying philosophy comes from somewhere other than Marx or Lenin, in which case I'm curious as to what philosophy, and originated by whom, you're talking about.

With the right level of integration the camera could subtract the image that is in front of it. That would requires having a pretty good model of the point spread function, perfect synchronization etc.

OLEDs have a fast response... I wonder if it would be possible to put the camera shutter and the oled out of phase enough to substantially dim it.

Perhaps polarization could be used to get better isolation.

With all the engineering required to do it, it might be much less expensive to have three or four cameras at the edges of the display, then extract a depth map and resynthesize an view from the perspective of the centre of the screen. :)

Plus that would give you bonus features like being able to automatically blur our or heavily denoise the background. :)
Consoles specifically are sold at a loss to make money on games, though. I wonder how competitive they would be with buying a gaming pc if they were forced to make all their profit on the console itself with no money coming in from games
I wouldn't underestimate Epic here. They've already succeeded at securing cross play from xbox and playstation and are strongly motivated to keep their app on iOS.

Given the money at stake, they are also strongly motivated to do it without paying Apple's 30% ransom

I'm not sure why nobody provides a task tracking tool that has tasks organized hierarchically (with chord/circular dependency. This is the real world, regardless of the argument about subjective processes. If you can't see where in your workflow, that 1 task (even from another team's workflow) is impacting multiple other workflows at-a-glance, the tool is too primitive. Subtasks don't cut it.

JIRA is the most popular of all tools on the market, which are glorified gantt points across disparate fragmented views. This is an element of modern tech that makes large organizations hilariously inefficient.
I hate the epic store. It's riddled with strange and frustrating choices.

But there isn't any reason why they couldn't have created it. Steam was (still is?) the monopoly, so they are increasing choices on PC (however awful their specific offering is).
US decreased 9.5%. The difference seems fairly marginal and could be affected just by timing of when the virus started. Germany though bought something with that. The interesting question will be what Q3 and Q4 looks like.
It's only harmful when people assume that they couldn't have gotten the job or in the school without it and don't look at their merit.
>As an extreme example imagine if Apple tomorrow said that all apps have to pay a 95% cut instead of a 30% cut and all customers have to pay $20/month to use Wifi or internet on their iPhone.

If they did they did this with the app store as used by existing iphones, then that would probably cause them to get in trouble, but if they made a new app store with these policies that was only used by a new model of iphone, then while extreme, I'd think it's within their rights. It's not that long ago that feature phones with limited app selection and internet browsing as a premium feature were a thing.
5 years is ago is when the mentioned adblocking was added. Enterprise use is different because people normally don't have influence over that, but home use is actually their real choice.

Desktop, because ff mobile didn't really exist yet, so mobile segment is not really relevant for comparison.
Hardware/OS != Software/App/Website
I choose Apple devices because I believe Apple looks out for my interests. I say that as a consumer and a developer who publishes on the App Store as a business. I've seen the kind of nightmare that Android can be and no thanks. If this requires 30% for Apple to afford to keep the review bar high then so be it. But even if it doesn't, its their platform - their rules. If I didn't like it I'd switch to something else but I am thankful that iOS devices for my family aren't a risky proposition to use because app developer are reasonably restricted in what they can do.

My worry is, if the doors get opened to non-Apple app stores and non-Apple reviewed apps, what happens when enough of the top tier apps like Facebook, IG, etc.. move to a store that has less oversight and restrictions? Users essentially get forced to give up what Apple gives them (and what they may have chosen Apple devices for) in terms of oversight and privacy control to use those apps. You can say, "just don't use those apps or stores" but that doesn't match the reality when your friends and family expect you to be connected because they use those apps. So while this may be about fees now, what's to stop if from being about privacy and other bad behavior that Apple doesn't currently allow?
The article mentions the law makes allowance for this:

> The Supreme Court has ruled colleges and universities may consider race in admissions decisions but has said that must be done in a narrowly tailored way to promote diversity and should be limited in time. Schools also bear the burden of showing why their consideration of race is appropriate.

Apparently the accusation is that Yale goes beyond what is reasonable.
In all the hullabaloo around this drama, I haven't seen any actual mention about what anti trust/ competition is supposed to be about. All I see is "private company, anything goes" vs "Apple owns the market. Apple bad".

Not a lawyer. But I've heard some podcasts with lawyers on them. So I'm basically an expert. Isn't the whole pov of courts supposed to be: is this harmful to the consumer? They arrived at this "razor" because just being big and successful by itself isn't automatically bad. What if you're huge because run your business better than everyone else? What if you use your size to invest in more efficient capex that lets you make stuff cheaper? If you pass those on to the consumer, that should be kosher.

If you use your large size to push for things that's only good for your own bottom line and pass that cost on to your partners, who then have to pass it onto the customer, then by my crude layman's definition of anti competitiveness, Apple looks very naughty. Especially when the reason you can push certain unpalatable things is because your business is so pervasive and has high switching costs. Most of the time it's fine to let businesses charge whatever the hell they want. If eBay went from 10% fees to 30%! fees people could just go to any other market place. Yeah it sucks to relist inventory, copy photos over, start with no feedback, but it's doable.

But I can't just switch simply from Apple to Android. Do you remember the first time you tried to use Linux or macos? How painful was that? And we're nerds! How is the majority of people who don't give a shit about tech deal?

And I see the argument of "Apple good" because most of the experience just works so I can definitely swallow a closed appstore with any fees they want to impose.

That's exactly the problem though. This is using their size and prevalence in their customers lives to their own disadvantage. This feels anti competitive
I think you're onto something. Why is it that anyone can write a program for PC, but we failed to prevent a system from rising up that wouldn't let us do the same on mobile.

That certainly depends on how big the bills are.
Except when alumni interviewed candidates, there was no such difference, only when university staff did. A pretty convincing smoking gun if you ask me.

I am glad I studied in France, where admission to elite schools is based purely on objective entrance exams (emphasis on Math). It’s not a perfect system, rich parents can afford tutors and teachers can tutor their kids, but it’s a hella fairer than the system in the US, corrupted by legacy admissions, sports scholarships and racial quotas that purposefully ignore socioeconomic disparity, because it’s easier for the powers-that-be to throw poor rural white kids under the bus than something that might adversely impact their own children.
While I'm inclined to agree with the spirit of your argument, I believe Apple makes the argument that their payment gateway enforcement is in fact in line with that “does this harm a human who does not consent” test.

The argument goes, if I'm not mistaken, that by enforcing their payment gateway, they're assuring that users aren't handing over credit card info and other PPI in an insecure manner.

Whether you buy that or not is up to you, but this is definitely a defence I've heard.
How did this update get passed the App Store audit?
What distro are you using? I've been using multi-monitor setups for years, and it works with zero configuration on Ubuntu and Debian.
Right. I don't think anyone disputes that.

I think it's fine. It's a tiny part of their overall profits. Like sub 5%. If it gets antitrust regulators off their back it's well worth it.
Of course, between finishing the write and doing the rename you have to call fsync() on the fd (as that article pointed out).
Apple and Google are both charging 30% fees and together, they own almost the entire smartphone market. It is harming consumers due to the higher costs this 30% is imposing on transactions. Whether it is illegal or not is up to the court to decide. But as a customer, I would like to complain about this and state my dissatisfaction. Perhaps if enough people do it, they will change their behaviour.

Also as a voter, I would hope that the legislature make these costs come down. In Canada, the government recently intervened to reduce credit card processing fees. I would hope next they direct their attention to app store fees.

In my opinion, policies like this stem from having good intentions, but intervening where there is just friction instead of where there is most value.

Intervening at Ivy League admissions is a surefire way to benefit those minorities who are currently the least inhibited, while expending a lot of social (and potentially "real") capital to do so.

Intervening much earlier in the process would be much harder, but would provide relatively more assistance to those who are so disadvantaged as to otherwise end up nowhere near college admissions anywhere, much less the Ivy Leagues.
People have been saying that for a decade.

"I don't like Black people drinking from this fountain because they tend to be dirty." was the White's excuse. "I don't like Asians enrolling because they tend to be smart." is their excuse now.

Oh yeah, let's give benefits to Blacks because color. Just like we gave benefits to Whites because color. Because equality, diversity, history, and else. Oh yeah, Asians were in fact the victims by White slave traders but we don’t care because it’s more cool and hip to promote black victimhood.

What is it with the West and their racism? “Let’s defeat racism and social injustice by racial discrimination”? Now that’s worth a chill down your spine!

I assert that a long-term profit optimization will short-term appear to be a focus on consumers (users), and that Google, Facebook, etc. are aware of this. Unless they think their business model is dying and they should just milk the cow as fast as possible before it falls over, which I really doubt.
It's a tried and true approach at this point in history. Remember Steve Bannon? [1] Weaponizing (angry, disenfranchised) gamers is the hot trend of the last decade.

I just re read strategy letter V [1], and combined with your post, I now realize that reducing the 30% fee for developers is essentially making a "complementary good" (publishing on iOS) cheaper for developers. That makes unreal more valuable.

Thanks for clarifying that framing for me.

Because the primary one might not have everything?
Apple has fairly strict rules, which they themselves ignore most of the time.

For example, no software development tools (which generate and run code) are allowed, in the name of security.

Surely, you can think of at least one category of users who need such software?
I know rooftop solar is not the grand solution, it's just a little piece. We would indeed have to build out solar & wind farms of appreciable size.

You can test it yourself one-way by just asking a friend to look into their webcam when talking to you. On your side, it'll look totally normal.
Even "attending" is starting to matter less (see the sky-high graduation rates for these schools). An Ivy League undergraduate degree is best described a patent of minor nobility, honored by all Western bureaucracies including governments, NGOs, and corporations.
According to this [1], Black students make up 15% of the enrolled student population. Therefore Harvard, MIT and Yale are all under par.

I made this as a simple ui to view what people are doing "right now" on github. It basically streams "api.github.com/events" directly into your browser and does some basic layouting as well.

I think your assumption here is that if you were to filter based on those things you'd get an outcome that would be representative of the total population. But I don't see why you think that. Look at relatively poor Asian kids in the NYC public schools system. Even if you were to apply your filter there, they would still likely end up massively over-represented. Similar (but less dramatic) outcomes are likely even with Whites. Even factors like social class and family income don't carve things up in such obvious ways.

I never got the emphasis on "native culture knew it existed first". Discovery by definition is an "adding to network" relative function based upon who is viewed as "initating it" and recorded accordingly. If a hunter A of culture B meets prospecting C of culture D then culture B records "A discovered D while hunting" and culture D records "C discovered culture B while prospecting for natural resources".

Couldn't it make sense if you only use the boat every day or two, and it's docked in the sun when not in use? I can see that it wouldn't make sense for cars since cars are typically parked (1) out of the sun, in covered/enclosed structures, and (2) near power outlets, which provide an alternate source of energy.

Some people might want to use a boat infrequently, and not near charging stations. But perhaps a speed boat isn't the type of boat someone would choose for this due to lack of sleeping quarters, fridge, etc.?

On a second read, I see you wrote, "I would be surprised if ...". I don't remember seeing that the first time, but maybe I read too quickly. In that case, I'll turn it around: I'd be surprised if you could find anyone who can supply comparable evidence of competence who'd accept substantially less compensation.
It's a regulation issue. Things were similar in my country until the state decided to sell the fourth frequency range licence at a reduced cost (to offset the lead of the other three) and made routing cheaper. In exchange the new provider had to commit infrastructure investments. At about the same time, it was legally mandated that transferring phone numbers between providers be simple and cheap. The prices cratered pretty much instantly.

I think I'm on a 15€/100GB plan at the moment (plus a bunch a stuff like 25GB a month of international roaming).

I agree with your point about diversity beyond ethnicity and race in some regards. I 100% agree schools should try for more income diversity for example. However other criteria you listed are meaningless. I don't see a benefit to height diversity or ugliness/beauty diversity. Other examples of yours also serve to conflict with your first point. There are some people who get rejected from Yale who would otherwise get into Yale if they could play basketball well or if their parent attended Yale. Is that discrimination against those people? I tend to think not. Treating everyone exactly the same isn't always the fairest solution in every situation.

Also your NBA example doesn't fit because it clearly falls into the category when you need the top X basketball players. I don't think needing the top X students is or should be the goal of college admissions. The goal of a basketball team is to defeat other teams in competition. It is inherently a zero sum game. The goal of a university is to educate the population. It is not a zero sum game and having a diverse student body actually works to support that goal.
Yes. But for some reason this DOJ isn't concerned with legacy, just a grotesque misapplication of Title VI less than 3 months from a presidential election.
