I think this is a serious problem - but probably not for the exact use case you list (mafia, sexually abused kids).

It should be solved by allowing an "expensive" (a) "vote" (b) to override, or delete, or hide for a number of years.

(a): expensive should discourage the option in general
(b): proof-of-stake, proof-of-ownership, proof-of-work are some of the many ways in which you can define voting rights.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work easily in practice. Example:

You created a file (say, a CV, or a newspaper article in PDF) to discredit me, but it's a lie. To me, not having that file publicly accessible would be worth $1,000.

You could blackmail me - give me $1,000 or I'll upload the file! But I think you might do it anyway, so I don't negotiate (never negotiate!!).
The file is 1 MB, and it costs $1/year to keep it up and running on Filecoin.

I should have an option to ask a voting pool to remove that file for $100. The pool agrees, and the money gets burned (I shouldn't create any incentive for someone to cash in the amount).

However, you can upload the file again; or a slightly different version, and we are back to square one.

It then goes to the "discoverability" of the file. That part is probably going to be decentralized too, so no court could "order" Filecoin to make a file not discoverable.

How do we solve it? I think there will emerge a search system that provides services to censor, obfuscate, etc, a number of files, based on reasonable requests. Whoever builds that company, I bet it will not be poor.
Please note that Apple's linker will automatically ad-hoc sign binaries if you aren't using a signing certificate so there is no impact to package managers or any other forms of building software to run locally. Xcode already automatically opts such software out of GateKeeper checks when built from the UI. Similarly adding Terminal to the Developer Tool category in System Preferences will do the same for anything you run or build there.

I should also note directly launching the binary inside the App bundle from Terminal bypasses the UI dialog. The assumption is you know what you are doing in that case.

The first release of Android was only a couple months before the release of the Blackberry Storm. That obviously wasn't an option.
Don't they need admin privileges to install? Why give them admin ?
> ICE are terribly inefficient at partial load

Yes, but this doesn't happen much anymore. Torque converter, electronic throttle control, variable valves, and 6+ speed gearboxes means the engine is usually near full throttle even if your foot is barely on the gas.

Turbochargers also help, along with cylinder deactivation for some V8s.

Modern engines are nearly always at a relatively efficient load point. This wasn't true until about a decade ago though.
What about Windows "S Mode"? That's sort of the latest iteration on the Windows RT experiment, but you can turn it on/off on any Windows PC now.

I know the complaints remain that not enough apps are in the Microsoft Store, especially compared to iPadOS and Chrome OS if you include Android apps, but it is comparable to Chrome OS without Android support and still seems like an "alright, not terrible" third choice.
Good call. I should have thought of a better (submission) title in the first place.
SBIR funding is critical for hard science ventures early on. It's also a good indicator to future investors of potential hard science projects that a panel of experts in the area has reviewed and approved government funding for the idea, and the team is at least decently competent to meet the milestones of the SBIR. This helped Ginkgo Bioworks before they received more than half a billion in private investment.
I did consider rooting my comment higher up the thread. But the points I was addressing were most appropriate here. Point remains that "free market" is a loaded and political term.

As long as there's software there will be devs who need machines with which they can build it. Those machines will always need mechanisms for circumventing safety constraints, almost by definition. I guess it's possible Apple could decide, one day, "macOS isn't for developers anymore, it's just like iOS, devs will just have to go elsewhere". But that seems like it would be a profoundly stupid thing to do.

I do wish they would just bundle up all of the safety-guards under a single toggle - put it in the recovery UI for maximum obscurity - to make this stuff as convenient for developers as possible. But I take the fact that they don't to be a shortcoming of product development, not malice.
I'm envious. So if people end up being the blocker, do you remove them too?
Judging from Apple's past behavior, I have no doubt this feature will also be used to "enhance the user experience".
> Things like stocks, housing, and other assets that are jumping in price are not consumable goods and services. As such we try to avoid using the term inflation for this phenomena, but the principle is the same.

I believe the term for this is "asset inflation", which is just a different form of inflation.
It wasn't so much that it was Java (albeit ME without generics) it was more you didn't get an awful lot out the box.

You had to hand roll all your UI with drawing routines that scaled across various devices and handle all the touch/tracker button events yourself.

Networking was a minefield. Depending on your connection (bis/bes/tcp/WiFi) you'd have to pass various undocumented params. Think we had a modified version of some networking code a RIM employee has given us, God knows how you'd have figured it out as an indie dev.

The support and open source ecosystem wasn't really there at the time either. Just a couple of devs who were super prolific and knowledgeable on the dev forums (thanks Peter Strange, if you're about HN)
> Not sure how steady VR headsets are these days though...

VR headsets are pretty secure in general. The problem is comfort and the other is sweat. Comfort will vary headset to headset but there are lots of accessories and mods to deal with both issues.

The best thing about VR is immersion. There are also several really good boxing/fighting games out now. One of them is good enough where a pro-boxer uses it for training much like some pro drivers use driving sims to practice. The only things missing are resistance and feedback. I can see Quell's straps being used in VR. The best I've seen for feedback is wear a suit or vest of bunch of small speakers. It's not ideal, but it's better than nothing.
That's exactly what I'm confused about, where is the slippery slope? It's an extra step in your build process–an annoyance, not a slope. It's like if there was a requirement that macOS would not run binaries unless you stuck "APPLEISCOOL" at the front of all your binaries.
If at scale, everything is cheaper in cities, why is it local taxes are generally higher within them?
Yeah I'd love if airbnbs had these. I tend to rent places in mountainy areas with bad cell service. It feels like 90% of the time we arrive bleary-eyed from a long drive, needing to look up a place to get dinner, only to find the welcome packet which has a handwritten password like "FJ#)@Jkfsf2JBbnNVnIOfQPOWre230F(&J%^". Minor annoyance, but a bother all the same. I always type it out in the Notes app first to make it easier to fix typos.

To be fair, the world itself has changed a lot in a decade. Risks are much higher now than before, as malicious actors have become much more sophisticated, and we're running much more of our lives through software. The downside of insecure systems is orders of magnitude greater - life savings wiped, every personal detail leaked, etc.

The GPP describes an inhalation value.

The mask still protects other people from transmission by you.

Anti-maskers wearing lace 'masks' does not protect other people.

They are completely different, and that is the main point of mask wearing for the general public - to protect each other by reducing the chance of ourselves transmitting it if we have it.
Does it tie them to your Apple ID, or is it a key you can keep totally private from Apple?
Look at iOS, you need to pay for a developer account and the signed applications can't be distributed (otherwise they'll revoke your account) and have short-lived certs.

>The right to peaceful assembly is not conditional on legitimate purpose; same as the right to free expression.

Yes it absolutely is. I have no idea why you think otherwise. The right to "free expression" is conditional as well. We prohibit certain "peaceful assembly" and "free expression" every single day and have done so for centuries. The classical example: you do not have the "right to free expression" to go into a crowded place and falsely yell "fire", because that would be a public danger. Similarly, going to a gym during a pandemic causes a public danger. "Right to peaceful assembly" doesn't apply.

"Peaceful assembly to work out" is in no way similar to "peaceful assembly for protesting". It's ridiculous of you to claim otherwise. It's so ridiculous that I can only believe you're trolling or trying to make an argument in bad faith.
Both the value of the worker and this situation both ignore the supply side. A $5 bill is worth $50, assuming there is a supply of people willing to pay $50. Likewise, a worker is only "worth" $50/hour if there is a supply of people willing to pay them $50/hour. If they're working for $5/hour, there's a good chance the supply of people willing to pay them $50/hour is slim to none. I would argue at that point that they are actually worth $5/hour, and $50/hour is a fiction like saying my shares of Hertz are worth $10,000 a piece.
> every job I've had would be at minimum wage.

The five following are the principal circumstances which, so far as I have been able to observe, make up for a small pecuniary gain in some employments, and counterbalance a great one in others: first, the agreeableness or disagreeableness of the employments themselves; secondly, the easiness and cheapness, or the difficulty and expense of learning them; thirdly, the constancy or inconstancy of employment in them; fourthly, the small or great trust which must be reposed in those who exercise them; and, fifthly, the probability or improbability of success in them.

> One of the nice things about a free market is you can't stop people from doing that.

The masters, being fewer in number, can combine much more easily; and the law, besides, authorizes, or at least does not prohibit their combinations, while it prohibits those of the workmen. We have no acts of parliament against combining to lower the price of work; but many against combining to raise it.

Yes, so despite that there are thousand of death due to flue and hospital overwhelmed, somehow is was acceptable to not have lockdown back then?
You're not listening: you don't make software on iOS.
This might sound silly, but the following, cited in Getting Things Done, helped me a lot:

Not going to argue about the profit based motivations, I'm sure someone else would do it. How about the power that it gives Apple over developers, is that worth their time?
> How music evolved over the 20th Century?

Music married with electricity and that helped to create a cambrian explosion of creativity. This is the major contribution from the 20th Century to the history of music and nothing will be the same after this.

That spawned 1) Rock first, based in the electric guitar, and 2) an sea of Electronic music later, based in the synthesizer.

To focus in the second part, here you have a selection of albums to experience several flavours of electronic and experimental music, from dark wave to big beat, space rock or synthpop. Just one album representative of each group was chosen; not necessarily their best or the easiest to listen, but all deserve to be here for different reasons.

The stock market does represent people's feelings, true, but people's feelings are influenced by metrics (with reason). Sure growth investing strategies look for stocks of companies that will grow quickly but pay little in dividends. But value investing often looks for companies which have solid metrics and will pay solid dividends which is a huge part of investing after all.

> Also, what kind of "viable software business" has trouble paying $100 a year?

The issue isn't the money. The blog post was written in the context of the widely reported story of Apple threatening to terminate the developer account of Epic Games, which would prevent them from signing and notarizing their Mac software.
Is there any automatic way to tell your software apart from malware?

Because that's part of what this mechanism tries to provide...
Those people already pay for that account and thus could sign whatever they need to work. For them it wouldn't change a thing. It's just everyone else.
> WHO does not support lockdowns.

WHO is corrupt, and has been politicized. They were also against masks at the beginning, and also said COVID does not transmit from human to human.

I noted this in a reply to a sibling comment, but I think there should be a real difference in how you view health advice from a government agency, and from general healthcare professionals and the healthcare community. Your county health department is subject to political pressure, even if not directly. If National health agencies are issuing guidelines, states may use those as references, and local agencies might use the state or national ones, but probably aren't going to go out on too much of a limb to counteract them because it endangers that local agency in case they are wrong.

Unfortunately, health recommendations regarding this outbreak have been seen as fair game from both sides for political plays (there's no point in debating why or who started it for this discussion), and as such recommendations from the top had a political bent.

If there is a difference between what healthcare professionals and government agencies employing healthcare professionals recommended, we should note that and target our ire to the correct location.
Differences will be ranked, and they will be used to form teams.

You can't stop human nature. At best, you can divert it to something less problematic, like nationalism. If everybody is on Team USA, then there is no room for racism.

We will never eliminate the urge to judge, rank, and exclude. It's very deeply in our DNA. All the social mammals have the urge.
>> Textbooks state that, in the absence of a minimum wage, a worker is paid his “marginal product of labour”, which means the value of what he produces.

> This sentence is just wrong. First of all a rational actor will not intentionally pay a worker the value of their production; you get no profit.

It's correct. You're assuming whatever the worker produces is sold at cost.

From the article, it appears that the suit hinges on a claim that “The CU Foundation has underperformed the S&P 500 fund by approximately 5.49 percent per year from 2010 to 2019.”

Does anybody have experience here? Is this an actual case? It seems kind of easy to cherry-pick historical dates that some investing body could have allocated resources some other way.

It's worth noting that he does have skin in the game: he's donated $5M to the foundation over the years, but isn't that kind of the risk you take by giving your money over to someone to manage? That they might make choices that you might not?
They should do a lottery system. Instead of giving $300 million to one person, give 1,000 people $1,000 / mo for life and see what happens.

Absurd argument. You can't parallelize the birth of a baby but you can do that for testing a vaccine.

You said there was no data available, and I provided a reference.

The data you cite has a large age group as well (0-69), which has the same problem you describe. See the comment by user kmm below for a reference with a better breakdown of estimated IFR by age groups. The reference also shows how the IFR increases exponentially by age.

If you want to see what number applies to you in particular, then you need an specific breakdown. But if you need to see what is the risk for the population in general, then the estimated total IFR, sampled from that same population, is valuable. Think of individual risk vs systemic risk.

You know the supply and demand curves, from Econ 101? How they meet at one point to determine the price of the thing? The demand curve can actually have any shape, so you can have any number of points where the two curves meet, and the supply curve has the problem that a firm making extra things both will and must not change the overall number of things made.

>>It's not that clear that a lockdown helps. NY closed the earliest in the US but was the hardest hit nevertheless. It has now mostly reopened and cases aren't going up. Chances are we may have reached herd immunity there.

No, this is absolutely wrong, every single sentence. Lockdowns definitely help. New York was hit hardest because, despite closing the earliest, they still closed way too late. Cuomo resisted calls from his health experts for almost three weeks. By the time he gave the order, there were 5,000 daily cases reported and the virus was practically out of control.
