This is a great point; I was thinking purely of Rust's semantics, where this is safe, and ends up turning into a panic or a zero. I'll add something here, thank you.

EDIT: wait, since this is unsigned, it is the same semantics as Rust. Well, it wraps no matter the optimization level, but it's not UB.
"destroying themselves" is certainly a characterization, and I don't mean to imply that I think cities will go away. What I'm saying is that for what purpose would the government be secretly spying on people if not to do something with that information - and rioting, looting, and widespread violence seem like the premier occasion for deploying some type of action based on that intelligence. If we don't see it happening in response to what's happening in cities now, what really is the point? What else would it be used for?

I'm not saying it's right, I just don't understand the effort and the expense if it's ostensibly justified by the potential for occasions like this, which are now here, and now being effectively ignored by those doing the intelligence gathering.
You can do ? instead of . and it will tell you what else it can do. Client side escape sequences. Handy to know!
I literally use Apple devices for everything except my gaming desktop, but I can't defend for Apple in this case, and for the game streaming block.

It's like if Apple built houses, it would make no sense for them to force house owners to only buy furniture/services from Apple verified entities and take 30% of the cut. The most it should be able to do is just provide a list of services it thinks are safe to use.

I would ask why can't Apple just allow other app stores, and just say any apps not from "the" app store may not be secure. But ultimately it's probably just because Apple doesn't want to let go of the ridiculous 30% cut, since if other app stores had a lower cut, why would developers release on the official app store.

The underlying story (Apple's response to Epic's lawsuit) was discussed yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24238096.
No, it doesn’t.

There was a time period where people were trying to use/put services in Iceland or Switzerland because they weren’t part of a known default sharing arrangement and people completely relied on poor interpretations of laws acting like the government took a completely hands off approach to data. The reality is that absent a treaty, these places can all choose respond to foreign warrants and often times do.

China and Russia being notably separate from the rest of the world, and also large areas.

C^D instructs the server to disconnect you. With these tilde commands you are issuing client side instructions.
From a numeric standpoint, this seems like a reasonable conclusion. For the system we know well, there are eight times as many planets as there are stars. A lot of systems in which exoplanets have been observed are known to have more than one planet.

The only way this is unlikely to be the case is if planets remain strongly-bound to stars.
Hardentools for Windows
Those emails were purely grandstanding on both sides. Neither side was trying to convince the other. Epic knew that Apple would drop them from the store, Apple knew that Epic would try to get dropped and then sue. The real audience was the public.
The second image on that page is hilariously wrong on scale. The USB port is about as wide as the caps lock key on the keyboard. They're supposed to be touting the small size of the unit and actually made it look bigger. Is it really that hard to just put the thing on a desk and take a real picture of it?
Yeah, I see it. I just don't get it. There's an awful lot of UX work being done to preserve an illusion that you have a bunch of fixed-size consoles that are arbitrarily arranged in a 2d space. Which, I guess, is the defining metaphor of GUI interfaces, but if that's what is desired, why create a console-only (if only in appearance) GUI? Text buffers in emacs or panes in screen or tmux can be made to have arbitrary size and dimension if you want to turn off wrapping and keep a longish scrollback. You can have as many buffers as you want, as many as your screen can accomodate visible at once and easily navigate them as you like. All you have to give up is the conceit that windows have independent physical size and location and embrace one that holds that you can have an arbitrary number of text buffers available to arrange, swap, hide, show, etc. Not trying to be nasty, but this feels like a bit of a cargo cult: someone stuck in the windows GUI metaphor trying to create a version of CLI metaphor they don't fully grasp. Of course, the fact that those of us who prefer the CLI metaphor are rapidly dying off is relevant here---but seizing all of the disadvantages of an all-text environment without any of the advantages seems ill-advised. That said, no one needs my approval. If this works for you (and I'll readily admit it's kind of cool), what do you care that I don't get it.
I’m skeptical about the sourced from twitter part.

I used to be very impressed by industry celebrities. The kind of people with a zillion SO or HN karma, blogs, books, podcasts, conferences speaking spots—-real name recognition at least in some corner of the tech universe.

But then over time I’ve found myself in workplaces with some of these folks and it turns out that if you do all of that, well that’s what you do. Building your own personal brand is a job and it doesn’t leave much time to build either software or engineering organizations.

Personally I’m not much interested in building a personal brand (different strokes though) and so I don’t think it would be all that exciting to talk to a bunch of people that are experts in doing so.
How long would it take to model out the entire world in reasonable detail? Something similar to open world games such as GTA V?
Don't get me wrong. Cash is great. But how do I quickly and securely do a long distance transaction in cash? Do you except people to wait for the postal service to deliver an envelope before they receive whatever they've payed for?

>It requires a computer with a connection, they are ubiquitous I understand it, but it's still a very hard requirement

In your example you are paying 4chan. You already have a computer with an internet connection.

>But most of all, what do I do with the crypto if the baker doesn't accept them?

You could sell the cryptocurrency for cash using localbitcoins. Or you could sell it for a gift card. Or you could anonymize the funds and give them to a trusted party to sell at a KYC exchange. Then the cash is withdrawn from the bank and delivered to your organization. As far as I'm aware, there isn't anything illegal about this.

And of course, you could just spend the cryptocurrency as is if the merchant accepts it.
They doesn't mention how they arrived at this figure, but suggesting an accuracy down to a penny seems a bit much.

You're forgetting how bad Hillary was as a candidate.

I'm not saying she ran a bad campaign (though she did). I'm talking about her "negatives". Decades of scandals. (Yeah, Trump had them too, but at a minimum it meant that Hillary couldn't use Trump's scandals against him. Also, Hillary's scandals got a lot more national coverage when they happened than Trump's did.) Benghazi. The email server (and with it, the impression that she thought that rules were for other people). The impression that she thought that she was owed the presidency, rather than having to earn it. The way the DNC chose her over Sanders, overruling the will of many of the primary voters. And on and on.

It wasn't obvious at the time, because much of the press was pro-Hillary. But she was a terrible candidate. I think if the Democrats had run anyone else, they probably would have won against Trump.
Yeah, but that is exactly part of what we should stop pretending not happened. Prople really don't like to admit - these high powered people and "heroes" were massive unethical assholes. Instead, we take their own word about themselves and about their enemies as gospel.

And I think the way we tiptoe around it and refuse to admit dynamics and acts involved is related to why we can't deal with contemporary narcissists either.

And what it does is that it is disadvantaging honest people, because they learn about how it really works only after it costed them.
Most wealthy americans own assets in the US. The ability to tax those assets doesn't change when they are sold to other wealthy owners. It would be an erroneous assumption that those in favor of taxing assets such as housing are opposed to housing falling in cost.

You really think that all retailers sell the same goods at the same price? Have you ever looked at the price of snacks at a movie theatre and compared the price anywhere else? Heck even at the grocery store a 20 ounce soda sold on the aisle is cheaper than the same soda sold at the checkout line refrigerated.

Are cars all sold at the same price everywhere? TVs? Computers?
I don't think it's a great idea.

Some commercial model would be ideal, but having a paywall would mean that the influence of MDN on the large web developer community will become than much smaller.

That would mean less developers having easy access to information that would help create write solid, browser-agnostic websites and applications. Which will be a loss for everyone.

Except, perhaps, for Google and the Chrome team, as the makers of the currently dominant web browser.
I think the GUI would be the hard part there. The paid / professional tools have a lot of functions that improve the process of constructing models and viewing them. A clean backend would be nice, but the user experience is what would need to be solved.
Please omit swipes like the one at the end. Lots of people use accounts with names like that. It doesn't mean they're actually throwaway accounts or breaking the rules. Personally I wish they'd have more readable names, because it makes a difference to the quality of the threads, but that's a separate issue.

It’d be kind of amazing if GTA 6 was using this kind of tech to create its open world environment when it releases.

> Nobody wants to live in a society that's all about FU, I got mine.

Maybe, but most super-wealthy people/corporations want to profit from such a society, including those in less "FU, I got mine", more socialist societies, like many in Europe. That way they get to enjoy the quality-of-life benefits that come with more redistributive societies while also enjoying the profits that come from the US's environment.

The example that immediately comes to mind are non-US pharmaceutical firms whose business model for developing medication is sometimes predicated on selling them in the US market, with it's unregulated medication prices.

This phenomenon rolls down the increasingly "FU society" hill from the US, too. One need look no further than the US' supporting fascist dictators in Latin America in exchange for more friction-less resource extraction from those countries.
The cities they picked to hand model are bizarre as hell. Major ones like London and Paris are missing but completely unknown ones are in.
Tanks were really vulnerable in Syria against Kornet-like [1] weapons, I think only the Russians providing T-90s to the Syrian Army helped made things a little better for them, but by that point the Government-supported army had already lost dozens (probably more than 100 even) of tanks.

Also judging by what happened in Syria, tanks are not that efficient in densily built urban environments. The Syrian Army tanks had almost free reign in the Damascus neighborhood called Jobar but with not that much showing for it. Similar thing happened in East Aleppo, but at a smaller scale. What helped tip the balance in favor of Assad’s army were the Russian air bombardments (a quick search for “Syria cluster bombs” will help clear things up).

We may have already reached herd immunity in some locations, like northern Italy, NYC, etc - the places hardest hit so far, with many other places such as southern Florida on the way.

This would be due to T-cell immunity conferred by prior coronavirus exposure, measured to exist in as much as 50% of the sample populations in replicated studies, lasting for up to 17 years. This is not reflected in the B-cell antibody tests being done.

This also helps explain why different regions of the world were impacted differently - they had different histories of coronavirus exposures.

Wouldn't you get a better user experience having your payment method (like your credit card company) managing all of your subscriptions? Surely not everything you subscribe to happens via Apple's ecosystem.
Right: I was responding to the parent's assertion that dropping Apple's cut from 30% to 10% would result in a 20% drop in the price of the app. As you observe, the developer would just keep the extra 20%. Maybe as a consumer, that's valuable because it means greater incentives to create apps, but honestly, there's no shortage of apps today. The problem isn't an inability to make money on the app store such that dropping Apple's cut would change the landscape significantly.

Android users are not doing fine security wise, the OEM update model, shitty locked ROMs provided by some carriers, the unpatched vulnerabilities especially on older devices is a security nightmare, tens or even hundreds of millions are likely already compromised. Apple devices are much more secure in comparsion.

Until the epic took this to court, nobody has the balls to challenge Apple. Epic has standing to sue and is ready to fight it.

This is going to be decided in U.S. courts.

WTO is unlikely to step in, they do not take disputes at a company level, usually betwwn country , unless another country sues the U.S. government for unfair trade practices over allowing this WTO has no standing to take the case. I don't see any country taking it to them , that country will need to show damage to their own app developers, this is difficult as Apple charges the same for U.S. devs too.

The EU anti trust and competition does have standing to take it up, and in the past they have fought Google and Microsoft over similar things (promoting own products and browser choice respectively), but I have not heard anything till now. Perhaps epic may also sue/ file complaint in europe and they may take on Apple in the future.

I've experienced Excel being used with all of those in bigger non-tech companies.

Integration points: Everyone sends their version to Person A, and they integrate it, filter it, postprocess it, extracts parts into another sheet, etc.

Redundant: There's typically plenty of shared directories on which you can find the same excel sheet in different versions.
