So you already accept the premise that caring about more than yourself is an appropriate goal, based on information you trust from others who you take to know better than you.

And yet here we are in a different industry, and simply for the sake of your convenience you decide you want to ignore people who know more than you, who are telling you that what Google is doing can be abused and because it can be, eventually will be (because please, point me to ONE example in human history where we have not abused a power we have created).

In that case, how about this? COVID isn't personally affecting me, and I don't like wearing the mask, so screw you I refuse to. Do you accept that reasoning?

Then why do you accept it here?

Physical danger CANNOT be the only measure because that forces physical violence, war, death and destruction to be the only means by which the human race can ever measure progress. And that basically demonstrates that we've learned absolutely nothing.

And yet let me be blunt, you already know all that, you're just here trolling, am I right?

Go ahead and downvote, it's beyond hilarious to me that you people think your fake internet points mean dick.

Sorry for sounding baity. It was a genuine question as I don’t see the connection. I’ve never been in a union, but my understanding was that it was just a contract between a private corporation and it’s workforce. I just don’t see how the police has any interest in this.

> I have promised myself never to build weapons unless the United States is attacked

What if it is the United States that attacks another country? Would you build weapons for that other country instead? Pacifism should be an universal attitude for it to make sense at all.
You will find no breakthrough there. It is just a very long philosophicalish stream of consciousness revolving about a thought, that everybody fails at AI because they forgot about replication.

The examples in the article are totally meaningless. An idea is _not_ better accepted by some _because_ it replicates better in their brains. That's a tautology.
Ask HN: Why aren’t online auctions more popular?
For things like tickets or limited edition fashion items that sell out in 2 seconds after being released because of scalpers that use bots, why don’t merchants capture that price difference with short-running auctions or have the price start at some ludicrous amount and then gradually go down over the course of an hour?

Is it because doing something so complicated and greedy would be more damaging to their brand in the long term? Are there really no companies for whom this would be worth it?
Ask HN: What use are data scientists when the ground truth is not known?

This is a good completion. The most likely scenario I could imagine for the prompt is in describing a dream and the completion reads just like a dream.
A better question would be, why yet another C knockoff on top of XML bloat? It just seems so uninspired. 3D drawing ought to be a slam-dunk for a dedicated DSL: pure functional composition (objects described in terms of relationships with each other), homoiconic (so code can generate code directly; no need for XML middleware makework).

Plus pure FP code should time-independent in its evaluation, so it doesn’t take a genius to imagine the benefits of (safely!) introducing a time axis on top of that. Procedural generation, animation; great potential there.

This is not all idle speculation, BTW: I wrote a semi-declarative DSL for 2D artwork production that blew its traditional imperative rivals out of the water while also being easy enough for non-programmers to use. So I know there’s potential there, and I’d be fascinated to see what kind of language someone with a mind for 3D math could shape for the task. Plus as a trained sculptor turned automation junkie who can’t stand GUI-based 3D drawing apps (they just don’t fit my head), I’d love to try something with a language-based interface instead.

Both are relevant, because in order to successfully win an antitrust tying claim under US law you need to prove the seller had sufficient market power in a tying product in order to coerce buyers into buying the tied product.

In this case, once you buy an iPhone, you're forced to use Apple's system to make in-app purchases. The tying product is the phone, and the tied product is the in-app purchase.

So you need to show that Apple has sufficient market power in the smartphone market, and that is where the question of the ability to control prices of phones comes in.

> The iPod had an experience, the form-factor, the capacity, and the horizontal integration -- being able to buy music directly on iTunes -- and once you experienced it, you realized that this was just better.

Well, no. I was given an iPod, used it once, and determined it was worthless. And heavy. By contrast, I intentionally purchased a $30 Zen Stone and used it all the time, to play music in my car. The iPod's form factor, interface, and relation to iTunes are all downsides. The Zen Stone operated like any other USB drive, and you could easily operate it without looking at it.
Do B vitamins increase the risk of getting cancer?
The link seems down to me.
That's the gist of it. However, I feel the assessment often flies in the face of Parkinson's law. Economics of software development are funny - particularly if software is a part of a bigger company, there's enough inefficiency in both software teams and the greater organization, that Electron vs. 3x native shell + shared core could not be a noticeable difference in terms overall resource expenditure.

The particularly annoying part about economics here is the "limited oxygen" nature of software products. If you and I both develop a software tool, but I decide to rush it with Electron while you take it slow with native app per platform, I get to (assuming the tool is a-ok) "suck the oxygen out of the space" by releasing first, and you may lose the motivation/market to create the better tool.

Which is to say, "good today" may be better than "perfect next week", but the big reason why software products suck so badly is that "shitty today" is considered better than "good tomorrow".

If "No outside payment inside of apps" is illegal is it legal for Apple to heavily promote those apps that do pay in-app?
I'm not young and I remember the times when Google replaced Alta Vista and then Hotmail (and released Wave).

I don't think people forgot about those days, but mostly think that the Google they liked has kicked the bucket. (Google's motto was "Don't be evil" those days, remember? It was removed from the code of conduct in 2018).

I think today, Google (together with Facebook and friends) is actively harming the open internet we loved. So, yes, we see what Google has replaced, but I don't think that is enough to worship a corporation forever.

It’s inside a .rs file so I don’t see how it’s not unsafe in the Rust sense. Maybe when I drew parallels with the “unsafe” block wasn’t fair but safety isn’t just about memory safety. Any seasoned developer will tell you that writing safe software is a multi-paradigm problem.

The MVC point is that by having shell scripts separated out as their own .sh file means they draw attention to themselves when auditing code. Inlining shell scripts do not.

Writing your own shell script parser also introduces other surprises to new developers to your code base (eg what POSIX tokens are supported?).

I’ve seen all to often people trying to get clever because they don’t like a particular ugly but well understood standard and it usually results in more problems than it solves. Which is fine if it’s a personal pet project but such solutions don’t belong in production code.

> I doubt they would be mining any paid Gsuite user's data

I use G Suite at work, and I wondered about this. From Google's modus operandi, I assumed they are mining data, for example, of all work emails to and from the accounts - and probably connected to my personal email addresses somehow, as part of a profile to target ads.

Is there a confirmation that this is not (or is) being done? I suppose, from a security/privacy perspective, it's safer to assume that it is, because it's technically possible.

> Why not go with the approach to try and fix it upstream where it belongs instead

This tool auto-fixes things in the Debian packaging -- the stuff that lives in the debian/ directory. Upstream has nothing to do with this.

> Moreover, ride-sharing is a non-starter in Japan. People in cities... don't own cars. People outside the city... already have a car.

I mean, you can make this exact point about the US, but Uber wasn't a non-starter there.

You can make it even more strongly about China, where owning a car is pretty expensive, but getting a license plate that allows you to drive the car is prohibitive to nearly everybody. But ride-sharing took off there too.

"People in cities don't have cars" is the problem that Uber solves. It's not something that threatens their business, it's something their business depends on.
worse because :
1) its competent at doing its job

2) google dont care too much about their products once they release them.
I had almost exactly the same response the first time I took ketamine. This is despite being experienced with psychedelics (all extremely positive lifechanging experiences), and despite that I was safe at home, knowing what I was taking. The only problem was that I was in a bad state of mind.

google is well on its way to being dead. their customer service doesn't exist. gcp is a joke -companies either go with smaller cheaper providers or azure/aws. their flagship os is famous only heavily modified on other vendors' phones. for the simple, they get an iphone.

the reason people use their search is that it's default -if it was bing no one will notice. ads? super customized ads are not worth the money to companies, lighter cheaper personalization is available from many vendors.

google literally is yahoo.

to tech people -the ones who made google what they are, google is actively their enemy, and for the regular user, they want an iphone, and they want customer service with a smile -google has none.

me, i never googled-up. zoho for $1 a month, create new aliases for spam and filter them into folders. no gmail needed. maps? apple for iphone is ok, but i just use heremaps. you click a country, click download, and a couole of gig later you have full search offline.

now youtube, that's an interesting product that's only popular because it's popular. and it was popular before google bought it. there are many unpopular competitors. all it takes to take down youtube is an app for another service included by default on samsung and iphone home screens, and youtube is gone.

the same goes for facebook and twitter. myspace, yahoo, aol -all had their 15min of fame, all thought it would last forever. who cares. google is old news.

> For example Apple demand that app developers price their apps in the app store similar to the same service in other stores (website, Google play store, etc), even though they are taking a huge 30% cut. So Spotify can't price their product 30% more expensive in the app store

False. You can price your app/IAP higher, you just can't tell the user it's cheaper elsewhere.

Yeah. Java's default performance isn't bad, and the floor is quite good (lots of space to optimize if needed). Just avoid bloating it up with enterprise framework when you don't need them.

JavaFX doesn't seem as snappy as native OS GUI frameworks, but I've found it very nice to develop for. It comes with reactive model out of the box, and there are some extra libraries that take it up to 11.
Indeed. I'm currently experimenting with NodeGUI and React Native as a means to write React components shared by web, Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, Linux. Early days, but it broadly seems to work. I can even swap in Preact for web, RN for mobile, and NodeGUI for desktop builds with enough webpack config fiddling.

I have a real problem with this statement from prepear: "As is the case in all bullying, silence about the behavior of the bully is the same thing as support."

This is deeply untrue, and problematic. In situations of bullying, people who remain silent may be afraid, may be disenfranchised in some other way to make them powerless, or may simply feel powerless. I've been seeing arguments like this crop up in other contexts as well, from social issues to personal disputes and it's more than just wrong, it can also be tactically unsound, and can lead to worse social outcomes.

In terms of tactics: the organizer who uses this tactic is trying to accomplish two things, they're trying to rile up their supporters and they're trying to recruit new supporters. This tactic is extremely successful in the former, by artificially generating a new out-group to unite against: the innocent bystander. The tactic of attacking bystanders is however abysmal at recruiting new supporters, no matter one's beliefs, they're less likely to side with the person pointing the finger at them.

Use of this tactic has bad social outcomes for the very same reason. Getting pepople riled up makes them less likely to make logical decisions, it makes them more likely to turn to violence, it makes them more likely to entrench their views and polarize.

Given all this, why do people use this tactic when they're trying to rally people? Why would you spend energy attacking people with no power to help? Unfortunately there's a perverse incentive to do so. When your supporters are fervent, they support you more wholeheartedly, increasing their financial contribution as well as contributing to your power. For the supporter, it feels like you're helping when you attack people, period, whether they're actually your opponent or not, and the innocent bystander is both powerless to stop your attack and is less likely to fight back. Taking out your frustrations on the powerless feels a lot like bullying to me, and maybe you'd get better results if you addressed people who actually have the power to help.
> Maybe it the place where I live (central Tokyo) but Uber eats was always huge even before the pandemic.
