As granted elsewhere in the thread, it is poorly worded. But it is fine to go. But then count those who move back.

That said, reality is lot of businesses have moved in since Brexit, despite supposed overwhelming bureaucracy.

Maybe the truth is elsewhere and much more complicated than broad blanket statements and politically biased myths that keep spreading.
it helps to translate “faith” as “trust in something, in which we can ground actions taken”, instead of “[intellectually] believing what we know ain’t so” and in that framing, yes, any endeavor requires an act of faith.
What happens when you lose power and you're still wearing the helmet
No, typically this sort of legal argument goes through because the exception exists; it doesn't matter exactly what the nature of the exception is. Epic's got a solid point: Either Apple does or does not grant exceptions, and this is an example of an exception which Apple granted.
I’ve been confused about this since they filed suit against Google... don’t they have what they want there, the ability to run their own App Store? So it’s not that they want to run their own store, but... what? They want to be in Google Play but without the same cut? I haven’t seen anyone address that.
It's trivial to find out why looking at driver's posts online:

There's a minimum time cost to them for each ride or delivery. There's the time you spend finding out exactly where the person is, there can be a delay between jobs, there's delays when picking up an order.

Someone who drives 10 miles for one job will spend much less time than someone who drives 1 mile for 10 jobs. And since they have X units of time to spend in the app, they'll start making less and less per mile driven.

They also don't get paid for the time spent going to a pickup unless it exceeds a certain length: https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/24/16533940/uber-long-picku...

It's easy enough to see how, at some point, they start to get paid so little that it's in their best interest to just not drive and spend the gas and their effort

__

Here's a severe case showing someone go through that exact experience:

> I accepted the pick-up and app informed me that the customer was 13 miles away I drove there[...] pressed my App for the drop-off Destination [...] and saw that drop-off was 1 mile away

> Total time of trip, back and forth, 45 to 50 minutes and 29 miles , and I earned $8 dollars

> So, after thinking about it, I have decided to ‘decline’ all trips that are more than 10 miles away from me and do not say that it is gonna be a ‘long trip’

Apple compares Epic Games to shoplifters in bizarre lawsuit response
It was fine when only 3d games could cause crashes, but now that firefox and KDE's window-manager all use hardware-acceleration it's just terrible. The binary drivers are definitely better than nouveau though for stability, except maybe for some older hardware.

Most issues fix themselves when I switch to a text console then back to X11, but every now and then I have to restart X11 to fix things.
People probably think this is what article about.
Intel’s Future 7nm FPGAs to Use Foveros 3D Stacking
40% of the revenue is from selling RAM? I assume they aren't fabbing their own chips, so are they just reselling Samsung/Hynix memory?
Epic has been very consistent about wanting the % cut lowered industry wide. It's silly to try and depict the Epic Games Store as malicious: Like it or not, developers keep more of their revenue on that store due to the 12% cut, and if other storefront operators don't like that they can lower their cut. When you choose a storefront as a developer you're choosing who to pay off in exchange for access to their platform and customers, it's that simple.

"out of the goodness of their heart" is also a silly way to characterize this positively or negatively: They want a chance to compete with Apple by offering lower costs in exchange for not offering the same feature set as Apple, just like how the EGS on Windows does not offer the same feature set as Steam. They believe developers will pick them due to the lower cut, but that's something the market would decide. Right now the market can't decide, because Apple has decided to prohibit competition.

Incidentally Epic made a public promise that if Apple lowered the cut, Apple Pay users would get the same Fortnite discount that people paying directly get.

That depends on the school. My 4-year would put you on academic suspension if your GPA was too low, which ended with you kicked out (well forced to take a 1 year break and have to ask to return... Not a lot of people did, especially since credits expired after 7 years). Although, I did get a D in a class I should have failed by the curve because I didn't write up all the lab reports, but I did well on all the tests and went to office hours to ask how to not fail, and a better grade than I deserved in a final quarter class where I wrote an apology note on the final exam, because I skipped studying that lieu of other course work, since that one wasn't needed to graduate.

On the other hand, my mom teaches pre-baccalaruate math at a CSU and gets all kinds of grief from administration for failing kids who don't earn a passing grade.
In private schools, "gentleman B grades" are given. Professors know this. Compare that with public schools like UC Berkeley.
Stereotype accuracy: One of the largest, most replicable effects in psychology [pdf]
From the replies (@mysl_co):

> Hey Matt, When I open the Help Center from the app, I can get guidance about upgrading to one of your paid plans. If I tap on “Plans” as seen the screenshot, the app opens Safari and shows the plans. This is a violation according to App Store Review Guidelines.

> Here is the relevant term that your app violated:
3.1.3(a) Apps may allow a user to access previously purchased content or content subscriptions […] provided that you agree not to directly or indirectly target iOS users to use a purchasing method other than in-app purchase

This is amazing to me. They're essentially taxing hyperlinks in your app? The "directly or indirectly target iOS users" wording seems like it would even cover a mere textual mention of a paid product in the app.

The read anti-trust magnifying glass should be on Apple's lack of support for the PWA-related standards. Google's FUGU program is closing the gap quite fast, and Apple (thanks to their ban on other browser engines) knows they can hold back the tide by dragging their feet on development of the standards. Their strategy is so anti-competitive, and so out in the open that I can't see how they've been allowed to get away with it for so long.

A plane is, conceptually, just a platform from which to launch ordnance closer and at a higher starting potential energy than you would be able to from the ground.

Given that a plane, then, needs to be capable of carrying multiple pieces of ordnance (otherwise, it's pretty much just a guided missile), it's pretty much fundamentally going to have a higher mass than whatever missile you're launching at it.

If you keep a customer with a recurring subscription for a year, Apple reduces its cut to 15%. This applies to all developers: https://www.apple.com/ios/app-store/principles-practices/
And if you can demonstrate that there are functions are computable by a user community that would benefit from them, it would make a fantastic submission to the Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security (SOUPS).

But, most people are trusting software at some point. We're making sure our software is small and relatively simple so that you can audit it. That's one of the reasons why we don't take dependencies on Google's Tessearact OCR engine, or on frameworks like React. (The one big dependency we haven't removed is OpenCV.)
They don't ask for CLAs as far as I know, so they don't if they take any contributions.
This might be obnoxious, but could you share some insights on what svelte is doing correct in your opinion? I've never worked with it but am curious to what is the secret sauce that made you feel like it was the correct abstraction.
Management salaries.
Welcome to Silicon Valley, friend!
I worked for AIER for about a year after college. They are (with a handful of exceptions) a bunch of clowns and the vast majority of their work is utterly vacuous. I don't even put it on my resume. On the plus side, lunch was served every day in their castle, and after lunch I would take walks around their private lake.

Fun fact is that the organization was founded to commit tax fraud. They operated a for profit investment firm with nonprofit status from the mid 50s to the late 70s, and somehow got away with it when the feds finally came after them. Afterward they ended up as a tiny research group with a massive amount of money, which they used for decades to fund research that no one reads.

I should write a article about them because there are some stories.
Often it's only because they pass in front of objects that we can see.
Interesting. How are they managing the continued break-down of the garbage that's still buried a few (dozen?) feet below?

The article doesn't convince me that this dump is totally reformed, just that life has developed on top. This also isn't a "sustainable" solution as we will continue to need dumps for the foreseeable future...
This may result in a situation that strongly favors the defender. If it takes ten drones to shoot down a fighter but they're only 1% the cost, countries that otherwise can't project air power internationally may become capable of defending themselves at home.
""Marxism and the National and Colonial Question" by Joseph Stalin"

The idea of getting lectured on race based on Stalin's writings is literally nauseating.

The fact is done nonchalantly in 2020 is stupefying.
In a somewhat similar vein, I made a concatenative array language inspired by kdb+/q: https://cryptm.org/xs/

Unlike other concatenative languages, the order of operation is right to left, and it supports infix operators. This gives the language a very conventional array language feel, while also giving you the power and flexibility of the stack.

As far as I'm aware, there's really nothing like it. Would love if someone gave it a try!

Here's an example, the factorial function:

xs> fac:(prod 1+til);
xs> fac 4
0: 24

You can also define new infix operators:

xs> add:{+.};
xs> 3 add 2
0: 5

Here's an example of generating a sequence of values, where n_t=n_{t-1}/2:

xs> (x:;x%2) fixes 12
0: [12 6 3 1 0]

Note how when we reach the fixpoint of zero, the recursion stops. These kinds of implicitly recursive combinators are very powerful. Also, equality on floats is not strict, so we can also do this with floats, without having to worry about small differences in precision. This is useful when working with equation optimizers and root finding methods.
Please don't send Mozilla your money...everyone's donations before then went to exec millions of dollars per year salary.

Mozilla is sitting on $500M cash reserves + $500M / year from Google. Don't assign lack of money as the real reason of MDN falling: lack of product direction and leadership.
Does that not have the impact of setting a precedent the next time that someone in the region is charged with the same thing?

"Well, last time, the defendant was given 5 years. Therefore, a fair sentence is 5 years".

Tacking a 5 year sentence on to anything because "it doesn't matter" seems exceptionally short-sighted.
Emails between Epic and Apple [pdf]
Following that logic to its conclusion, you could save a lot of money by skipping out on the fuel and carrying capacity to make it back home.

Another commenter said it first, but pretty much any set of reasoning that gets you to autonomous drones eventually leads to simply making guided missiles.
Hi, hi. I might want a domain for an iodine server and iodine works best with really short domain names. How long would the shortest possible domain name be? Would it be like x.ns3.me ?
None of these maneuvers are useful. High G maneuvers rapidly bleed energy. Slowing yourself down for a missile is... not a winning strategy.

High-G maneuvers are great for an in-close adversary moving relative to you. They don't do much against an adversary approaching at Mach 4. At that speed, while pulling 10G, you'll make less than a hundred foot change in your predicted position while the missile closes the last mile.

And keep in mind, the missile will be actively tracking you during this period.
Feels like you’re calling me an idiot because, I’ll admit it, that’s exactly what I thought. You’re right in that I care significantly less now than I know the scale of “close” is not actually close in my terms. But it made it sound like a more impressive discovery than I perceive it to be. So, what they did is astronomical linkbaiting.
They promise open source in future, but for now it's just megabytes of JavaScript delivered by their website, much of it generated by emscripten and not human-readable. In any case, they're encouraging people to use the website now. Given that encouragement, I'd expect most people to use the dice through the website, even if/when a standalone app becomes available. Even if/when you had the source, this would be orders of magnitude more effort to audit than a simple PRNG-based password generator.

KeePass is actually open-source now, and has been audited professionally. You are correct that a full password manager is more complicated than the dice; but the dice don't replace your password manager, so it's an addition to your attack surface, not a replacement.

And no, storing your secret outside the the tamper-resistant memory of a security token isn't better than registering a second (or third, or fourth, or however many makes you comfortable) backup token. HSMs and security tokens exist for good reason, and a cleartext backup loses that benefit.

I don't see anything wrong with marketing this as a cool toy, and as a tool to teach people how computer security works. I'm disturbed to see this marketed as if it solves a real problem, since that's at best a distraction from the steps (e.g., using a password manager and a hardware security token) that will help people practically.
This approach was taken with the Mountain View dump next to Google (and Palo Alto’s next door). Shoreline amphitheater And the nearly Park/lake (next to where Google is now) was built on it; I went to the first few shows when it opened and remember smoky emissions from the seating area — not from the audience I mean.

The flat area where the office buildings are was a bean field. When shoreline opened. I used to walk from my office, cutting through years farm, to go to shoreline. Then SGI and J&J built buildings there (which later became the Google campus) and the park and amphitheater just seem to most people to be part of the landscape. Which is great!
Dangerous stuff still gets in the app store [1]. The correct solution to the problem of dangerous apps, is sandboxing and elevated permissions with user consent. We've solved this in the web browser, let's solve it for apps.

Micron, Samsung, Hynix like most others. They aren't reselling ram, just using chips from the only companies that make them, but they pick certain bins and do their own QC and direct support etc.
evernote.com shows the username field, and you have to click "continue" and it has some dumb slow animation that reveals the password field. If you get your password wrong, the screen freezes for a few seconds, then the password field disappears and the reveal animation happens again, now with the "Incorrect password" message.

Maybe they really want people to use their app.
This reminds me a lot of aether pro which is also a backwards-compatible email enhancer. Their main feature seems to be Slack-like channels. https://aether.app/
> Even if Apple agreed to the demands and made the options available to all developers, Epic would have an advantage.

I don't know that that's the case. Steam, the Humble Store, GOG and Microsoft (just to name a few) would all be happy to compete if the terms were right.
Does Apple have any objection to having apps built from GPL-licensed source? I thought it’s the GPL license that has objections against running on iOS because of the restrictions of the platform (people who licensed your app cannot deploy it). Also, GPLv3 is stricter in that than GPLv2.
This is such a weird attitude. If someone was to say (figures made up) "over two billion people worldwide now drink beer" then "if you count Budweiser then sure", would be a bizarre response. Candy Crush is clearly a game; this isn't really ambiguous. It's a mass market game that game connoisseurs sneer at, sure, but it's a game.
The people that were bribed were prosecuted. At least one (from a quick googling) appears to have gotten a stiffer sentence (albeit not by much) than these two.

It was probably evidence they provided that led to the convictions of the people doing the bribing.

In that spirit, the self-titled album, The Great Speckled Bird, is worth checking out. The songwriters and vocalists are Ian and Sylvia, probably most famous for Four Strong Winds.

I have a Corsair mouse pad that covers most of my desk. In part because the mouse pad is huge and in part because my desk is small. The mouse that sits on top of it is Corsair too. I like this mouse pad and the mouse a lot, and like you, the quality of those things that I own are the reason I clicked on this post.

As for keyboard, I use a different brand (all black programmable mechanical keyboard ErgoDox EZ Shine with no printed key caps, with my own Dvorak layout here: https://github.com/ctsrc/ergodox-ez-shine-dvorak).

Whoever cut that sweetheart deal to Amazon is in so much trouble right now, career-wise.

This is simply not going to happen for everybody else though. Apple will not forego billions of dollars in revenue for "fairness", "etchics" or whatever.

Indeed.
I have no sympathy for either side - but this analogy is ridiculous.
Mainly as the counter argument is "Well the only reason our players have to enter your store at all, is because you make them. We'd be perfectly happy if you could let them shop with us in our store - and then you wouldn't have to worry about the shoplifting in yours"

Looking at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2018/, e.g. the "Combating Misinformation" is not something that I'd consider one of the core tasks of Mozilla.

I would also assume that there are conferences, grants/sponsorship/stipends, CEO pay, etc.

The audited report lists conferences/conventions meetings and advertising/promotion, two items that some may not want to contribute to.

I'm making no judgement regarding whether these expenses make sense or not, just pointing out something that someone who wants to finance Firefox and MDN may not want to contribute to.

Of course, unless you trust the organization to actually honor the intent behind a donation for a specific purpose, such donations are moot as long as the organization receives enough general-purpose donations: They can just put 100% of the money tied to a specific purpose behind that purpose, but reduce the amount of "general-purpose" money that would otherwise have gone to that purpose by the same amount.
