I can quote from I Ching [Book of Changes] regarding change as the invariant element. This change was ideologically driven by an elite subset of society. Certainly not an organic development, in my opinion.

Does Microsoft allow any other stores on the Xbox?

Shopify doesn't seem to do this, and actually it's a bit of a problem because some of the apps have the craziest workaround for gaps in the backend.

People have of course been pulling such tricks for years. We don't allow it generally, and in fact are pretty strict about that. But all such rules have exceptions.

The quality of this post is so high that it doesn't feel right to override any aspect of what the author created, including quirks like the title. There may be a superficial similarity to garden-variety title pimping, but as someone who bathes in spam every day I can tell you how rarely such gimmicks come attached to first-class feats of hacking prowess. Respect for content requires looking closely enough to detect truly unusual cases, pick them out of the mud, and give them a special place.

Another principle applies here too: it's good for readers to have to work a little (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). If a title like that appears at #1 on HN, there are two possibilities: (1) this is dreck that somehow managed to evade all of the standard moderation; or (2) something's happening here and you don't know what it is. Actually, either possibility is rather interesting, and it's not hard for any HN reader to do the bit of work to figure it out. Even if it takes 20 seconds.
If you play music in modern times, this movie is also informative. I think most musicians who really make innovative tunes are aware of these trade offs, it maps to real life well. There's musicians who make music for other musicians and they're trying to say something they know most people will have a little difficulty hearing.

A lot of the difference is caused by the words "full time" - the parent post and related arguments are not using these words.

The main case here is about requiring employee status or employee-like basic standards of workers rights for the drivers, even if they don't work full time for a single company but (for example) five hours for Uber followed by three hours for Lyft on the same day.

Workforce moving to the 'gig economy' does not by itself justify abandoning the basic standards and protections from exploitation that our society has decided long ago to afford for even the poorest and most vulnerable workers. There currently are legal loopholes that enable the 'gig employers' to skip these standards. That's a bug, not a feature - it should be fixed.

This should be horrifying to any sane human, but we live in a time of great insanity, and much of what ought to be criticized passes by unremarked in plain sight.

> Ubuntu asserts that society, not a transcendent being, gives human beings their humanity.

Let's be clear on what we're talking about here: Your humanity. Are you a human being, or aren't you? Are you a moral entity or not?

In the West, we say your humanity is intrinsically, unalienably situated in your person, bestowed upon you by a higher authority even than society itself. It may at times be recognized or unrecognized by the crooked timber of human institutions, but with or without them, it exists. You are a human being even if society doesn't want you to be, for whatever reason.

Compare and contrast with Ubuntu:

> According to Michael Onyebuchi Eze, the core of ubuntu can best be summarised as follows:

> 'A person is a person through other people' strikes an affirmation of one’s humanity through recognition of an ‘other’ in his or her uniqueness and difference. It is a demand for a creative intersubjective formation in which the ‘other’ becomes a mirror (but only a mirror) for my subjectivity. This idealism suggests to us that humanity is not embedded in my person solely as an individual; my humanity is co-substantively bestowed upon the other and me.

Again, cutting through the obstructive bafflegab:

'A person is a person through other people'

humanity is not embedded in my person solely as an individual

The examples given are even more grotesque.

> When someone behaves according to custom, a Sotho-speaking person would say “ke motho,” which means "he/she is a human."

> The aspect of this that would be exemplified by a tale told (often, in private quarters) in Nguni “kushone abantu ababili ne Shangaan,” in Sepedi “go tlhokofetje batho ba babedi le leShangane,” in English (two people died and one Shangaan). In each of these examples, humanity comes from conforming to or being part of the tribe.

In other words, three people died, but only one "human". Think deeply on the implications of that.

Growing beyond this kind of tribal denial of humanity has always been one of the proudest achievements of the West. It's a shame to see us sinking back into it, endorsing it, even celebrating it again. See this kind of literal dehumanization pass by without much notice at all.
How do you understand “reframing history”? Your comments indicate that you don’t like it, and that makes me think you believe the framing we’ve lived with so far is authoritative.

1619 feels like a fair and useful project to me. That’s because I am suspicious of the dominate narrative and that’s because we have lots of evidence that the stories of marginalized people are underrepresented in history, which leads to injustice. That’s a perfectly intellectually honest thread to pull on.
There are only two end states here if you insist on this reasoning: either Chinese companies dominate the world, because they can exist under their laws and ours but companies from other countries cannot; or the western world adopts laws like the Chinese and blocks foreign competition with unreasonable requirements (however "lawful" they might be).

It's not surprising that only a minority would want to be full-time employees.

But that's the wrong question.

The better question is: What percentage would want to be either full-time or part-time employees?

I would imagine the percentage would be much higher.

When classified as part-time employees, they'd have much of the same flexibility they currently enjoy, but they would at least be covered under minimum-wage laws, same as part-time workers who work at McDonald's or the grocery store.

If Uber/Lyft don't think it's financially viable to offer its workers the same bare-minimum protections that a McDonald's worker gets, then I don't see how it can claim to be a non-exploitative business.
Of course this was a significant factor. But even your reposte here is symptomatic of the fact that the society at large was not offered a 'positive' development of the institution of marriage in context of social and financial liberation of women. It's been decades of specifically highlighting the 'family' as a 'problematic construct'.

I have no idea (I'm Swedish, not Danish) what all of this is about. That's why I'm asking. I don't like what you're implying.
Agreed, the world would be a simpler place if we all followed the same play book...for online communication and everything else.

But we don't, and we probably can't. Cultural, language, religious, gender, and educational differences mean that part of any non-trivial discussion is going to involve some sort of "handshake" where you establish the rules of the discussion. And it is going to be a slightly set of rules for any discussion. I've seen sites (and before the web, messages) like this for years. You paste the link and are on your way. Or, more commonly, you paste the link and then proceed to provide the information someone is looking for. This is a variation of the "use the search, this has been covered" fight that every forum has.

Why go through that? If you want to engage with somebody, do it. If not, don't.

> Are you saying the issue is that flexbox will force everything to have the same height?

No, I'm saying that you will not get columns unless you specify a fixed height for the container. Since you don't know the total height you want for the container, this is not a valid solution.
I think the background can be helpful though. I will often gather it into a gist or something like that and link to it. Then people who are pitching in can realize they need that detail and head to it without having to make an additional exchange with you, or ignore it if it proves superfluous.

For context, the Microsoft Store platform takes a 5% fee compared to Apple’s 30%. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2018/05/07/a-new-...

This isn’t super surprising. Microsoft is desperate to get people to develop for the Windows platform and this obviously an incentive that developers will find attractive.
It was initially built by Shopify engineers and it’s their go-to technology so I guess that’s how it came about.

> Just 17% of Uber and Lyft drivers surveyed want to remain full-time employees [0].

Because that doesn't include the number of people who would want to be ride-share/delivery drivers but don't because they can't be employees.

That pool could have 99% people who want to be employees, but only a small number them (17% of current drivers) keep driving despite their preferences.
> The software was "reproducible" in that the same starting conditions produced the same output, but that didn't mean the _science_ was reproducible, as every study used the same software.

This is the difference between reproducibility and replicability [1]. Reproducibility is the ability to run the same software on the same input data to get the same output; replication would be analyzing the same input data (or new, replicated data following the original collection protocol) with new software and getting the same result.

I've experienced the same lack of interest with established researchers in my field, but I can at least ensure that all my studies are both reproducible and replicable by sharing my code and data.

> manual sponsored data

Ha! Clever. I like this angle. I agree I would have no problem with that.

> But if manual sponsored data is allowed, it is then hard to make the case that it is bad to allow ISPs to facilitate it by offering a service where they track the usage for you

Let me take a stab at it.

In the case of manual sponsored data, companies are refunding you the rate ISP's are charging you for data. It's a neutral effect on the market. And further, any company no matter how large or how small can do it without the ISP's consent. BUT, when a company goes directly to the ISP, the ISP can charge them a different rate than the ISP would normally charge the customer.

ISPs use bandwidth limits as a price discrimination tool, so they charge artificially high rates, but with direct communication between the ISP and the company, the deals offered can be strategic. The ISP can give the company a sweetheart deal as a means to manipulate the market. Then, as with classic zero rating, they simply clamp down on bandwidth limits as in zero rating so they remain a useful price discriminator.

That's the difference.

"Manual Sponsored Data" negates the ISP's ability to manipulate the market. "Sponsored Data" gives them the exact same powers as "Zero Rating" does. I've never thought to categorize these activities separately for this reason.

If the problem is Apple doesn't allow you to sell apps without going through their approval process, Microsoft does the same.

What is the difference between the capabilities of the console hardware and the phone hardware? The console hardware is actually more powerful. PS3's were used as general purpose computers until Sony removed OtherOS functionality.

This is nothing but defensive "don't sue us next" posturing by Microsoft. Consoles are just as general purpose as a phone. The only difference is the software veneer running on top.
I have the same impression and don't understand why. Maybe it's because it's such an important part of the infrastructure that having slow internet is not the biggest concern.

I have my bunch of anecdotes from the time I lived in Berlin, one of the best was how on my building I had access to 500mbps fiber and a friend living on a building one block from me had to register on a wait list, wait for more than 3 months to get a 50 mbps ADSL, this was the only provider still accepting new customers at the time for his address. And this was happening just 3km from city center.
I’ve even started asking my friends and family for tips anytime I do anything for them.

US culture of tipping is so ridiculous that I think people actually derive enjoyment from tipping by giving themselves an ego boost when they do, as some sort of charity or having role played as an extremely rich person being benevolent with their wealth.

Thanks for the input! I am trying to see how we can solve this. I offered a $200 discount (our total price was $599) and they were still not ready to accept.
And in some cases it costs more to get the premium package from the same provider than it does to get the base package from a competitor.

I recall a few years ago I was trying to figure out how to balance our home traffic across dsl, cable, and wireless, and it just proved way too hard to get all of the plates spinning.

It shouldn't be this hard these days, and it would give more leverage to competition (after all, I can downgrade you and upgrade my other provider)
The 'Addressables' are a abstraction layer on TOP of AssetBundles. AssetBundles aren't deprecated.

Honestly most of the criticisms you've gave are you not understanding how something works - like GetComponent.

The 'rides' division of Uber is profitable, or at least, was profitable before Covid. The rides division brought in a net positive of $742m in 2019. Uber as a whole is not profitable since they lose money on their Eats, Freight, and self driving divisions. The Rides division has only recently been profitable; it lost money for over a decade and started being profitable in 2019.

Rides is profitable because Uber has significantly reduced subsidizing rides. They also have cut expansion in many developing markets. Finally they raised prices in developed markets.

See their 2019 Q4 financials - they now claim to make, on average, a 24% margin on every Uber ride.

Uber as a whole can become profitable at any time by cutting their money-losing divisions.
So two things should be absolutely clear here:

1. Chinese companies are extensions of the state in a way not analagous to anything in the developed world. This creates a valid national security interest in giving Chinese companies access to telecoms (Huawai), personal information (TikTok) and many other areas; and

2. There is no huge market opportunity in China for Western companies so these companies should stop pressuring politicians to look the other way on China (and, arguably in some cases, to kowtow to beijing). The Chinese government will ensure no Western company "wins" against homegrown companies, all the while dangling that carrot of 1B customers and handout out enough crumbs to keep interest.

As for this lawsuit, I'm no lawyer so can't speak to its merit but consider this: trade agreements (WTO/GATT) call for reciprocity. In trade terms, I'd say the US is well within its right to deny access to the US market to Chinese companies in the same way US companies are denied access to the Chinese market.

Enforcement of censorship in China is painted as just obeying local laws. Ok, but what's to stop the US arguing that they require companies operating within its borders not to enable spying on citizens, religious persecution and other human rights violations?
