> the market value of everything that runs on the phone is much larger than the phone.

Not by any metric I can find.

Apple has a market cap of 2 trillion; half their revenue of 260B is phone. The market cap of all mobile companies is dwarfed by Apple.... Mobile app sales total 76B a year, including both iOS and Android. The iOS part is around half of that value.

So by one simple metric, Apple revenue on phones is around 130B a year, mobile revenue on iOS is around 38B.....

What metric did you base this "much larger" claim? Did you base it on market numbers or make it up?

>I'd love freely moddable console games and if developers could publish

There's plenty of such platforms. They don't take off. Ask yourself why. Conspiracy stuff like "the big men stop them" is not the answer.

Even huge players like Steam have tried - and they certainly have the resources to push such a thing. It failed.

Why didn't developers rush to these free to publish on platforms? Maybe you are missing important things about the value of the platform versus the value of the software.

>What are you afraid of, too much competition and freedom?

Competition is not breaking contracts as you see fit. Competition will not exist without rule of law - this is basic econ. You'll end up with chaos and theft when contracts cannot be enforced.

And you're welcome to do whatever you want. Buy other hardware if you don't like Apple's terms of service. Build a product and sell it if you think there's demand for a different product.

People buy Apple because they find more value in it, as is, than their other choices. The same as people who value freedom and openness are allowed to buy other products as they see fit.

I don't understand why people continually think they have some rights they simply don't historically, legally, or even morally. Just like I'd expect you to claim it's immoral for some other entity to force things you created to adhere to their whims, or hand over value to you because you demand it, you have no moral right to do that to others.

I guess we just see it differently on the morality of forcing others to bend their work to our whims.

You also forget that once Atari did let developers publish will nilly on Atari 2600, and there was such a deluge of crap, that the market and platform crashed. Nintendo and all following companies learned that lesson: everyday consumers don't have the skill to protect themselves from crap, so to make a solid consumer platform, the owner of the hardware should provide significant protection for users.
I used the Tk ruby bindings several years ago and it was easy and looked decent.
YMMV depending on where you are and what network, but Australia was the first place I managed to do 100 Mbps speediest on LTE (this was a few years ago, now I can get 200 Mbps where I live). I spent my time in the more rural parts of the country and was on Telstra though.

> I've never found a packaging tool without an extensive and clear manpage with examples.

That might be fine if you already know which packaging tool to start with. Debian has several and it's not clear upfront which one is the preferred one. But even then I'd say that there is something like too much information.

And the process is complex. If I want to package a standard autoconf/cmake program, I have to do a lot of command typing. If you compare that to Gentoo, Arch or even Homebrew packages where you essentially edit one file and one or two command invocations, that's just cumbersome.

I recently tried to find out what I would have to do to for a NMU and I just couldn't find any entrance point that made sense to me. It felt like trying to get into a cabal and all the information is encoded in arcane Latin.
Well looking at the loss of fake internet points. Plenty. I even got a downvote for posting the fact above...

That the consent decree was lifted.

It’s strange because every time that the government has done anything with regard to tech, HN users are in universal disagreement - rolling back net neutrality, a DMCA, COPPA, trying to weaken encryption, finding out everything the government was doing based on the Snowden leaks, etc.

But yet they still for some reason want the government to be more involved.
> He got 500 milligrams because they thought he weighed 220 pounds, but he was only 140 pounds and should have received 315 milligrams.

315 milligrams is still.. a lot. Especially injected into the bloodstream (I presume?) all at one time. Enough to really wrangle your marbles even if you're used to that kind of stuff.

> For much of Amazon's early history, it was something of a laughingstock

This seems like a real stretch. Amazon IPOed in 1997 for $0.5B, and grew to $30B by 1999. It crashed to $3B in the dot com bust, but that was the case for the entire tech industry. Between 2001 and 2007, it grew 10x from $3B to $30B.

Even including the dot-com crash, Amazon had grown ~60x in its first decade as a public company. I don't think anyone would be laughing at those growth rates.

Just thought of a different theory (likely incorrect, but I still like it) that Apple has actually either a Pear product coming out or a similar logo for something and it's close to production line, but they don't want to reveal it yet. That's why they're doubling down on trying to kill the other company / brand by throwing lawyers and money at an unreasonable enforcement.

Depends on how much money you throw at the problem. It's a problem that's easy to parallelize.
Interesting. Hmm. Not quite sure how to combat that one. The issue is that even though ripgrep is not POSIX compatible, it can pretty easily replace grep in most or all circumstances. The similarities between the tools are, for example, much greater than their differences. I know for me at least, I don't ever run grep interactively. The only time I ever use it is in shell scripts.

Yes, I also use this for automatically capturing command error messages with timestamps into logs:

However this can be fragile in bash script since any sub shell command can fail. I am still wandering how to support it in this rust_cmd_lib library.
Diplomatic buildings have often been strong points designed to keep staff safe in uncertain times. This is true even in safer locations; the new US embassy in London is very much a fort although the defensive features (like the water-filled moat/pond, and bollards hidden in the hedges) are well integrated into the landscaping.

The new site is probably considerably harder to assault than their old building, even though that looked more like a military building. The Grovesnor Square building was so ugly that even the official picture on the US Embassy website tries to hide it from view behind some trees!

Please do test out FreePascal and the Lazarus IDE.

Why?

1. Cross platform - Mac OS, Linux and Window and Raspberry Pi
https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

2. VERY fast development and compile-run cycles. You are talking about WYSIWYG designer and compilation in seconds.

3. Fully native binaries which are very small and very fast.

4. It is a full fledged RAD environment with full support for GUI development using a very powerful designer.

5. There are GUI as well as non-GUI components - example: Database components, Database-aware grids, database aware-listboxes, search filters etc.

6. Very diverse set of components. And very easy to develop new components from scratch or customise and existing component.

7. The object structure is very powerful - with support for read & write properties, composite components, property setting pages, internationalisation etc.

8. It is possible to interface with C/C++ libraries as well and that isn't complicated
I thought ad-hoc is N devices, optionally decentralized. This could emulate that.
I'm sure you've read some of the other comments, but none of this explains the massive price difference to Western European market. It's all about lack of competition due to lack of consumer friendly regulation.

A good starting point would be legislation that Israel enacted to get competitive markets as described by rvp-x:

> - Ban on SIM-locking of phones to one provider

> - Allowing users to change providers without losing their phone number

> - Ban on "exit penalties" for customers leaving a contract

> - Forcing existing infrastructure providers to share their infrastructure with virtual or not-yet-fully-deployed new providers
I think that may be because many judges use Apple products and so they are biased in favour of the company because of the reality distortion field of Apple's marketing.

> Would you really create an open-source chat software for companies?

Zulip? Jitsi Meet? Matrix and Element? Even GitLab falls into that category. Not strictly chat, but crucial company software nonetheless.

> Protect employees' rights properly by all means but don't come up with stupid legislation that forces open-source software to do anything. This will just result in less open-source software or worse quality.

So, in essence, forbid companies from using inaccessible software of that kind? That's pretty close to what I'm proposing, instead of banning the creation of that software, ban it's use, which, ultimately, comes down to the same thing. Also whether software is open source, freeware or for-pay does not matter in this discussion.

> Sometimes I wish we could disable all open-source software for a few days, so people would actually value what others do for free. It seems to me that these days a lot of people think the are entitled to all kinds of things.

Doing the work for free doesn't justify doing work that harms the society.

The process is indeed complex, but there are efforts to standardize on a single simple way to do packaging. Unfortunately with an archive of 30k source packages, that is a slow process.

A great resource is https://trends.debian.net/, which tracks some of the different ways of doing packaging, as well as the progress on convergence.

With the new style debhelper that we're converging on and a straightforward package, creating a new package should not have to involve a lot of typing - although it's still split across multiple files.
That's starting from the assumption you are doing this to engineer your children ands psychology.

Actually I think a lot of people find it awkward to watch graphic sex scenes and extended nudity with their family. As a grown up, the I feel awkward watching parts of game of thrones with my parents.

That's a shame because I would like to watch this show with them. Lately a lot of major TV shows seem to aim to include one nude scene per episode - I guess the money people think that's what sells...

I can understand why some people might find violence equally difficult, but where it features it tends to be much more tied to the plot.
You seem to know a lot about the problems of contact tracing! From what demonstrably successful work, or at least training or experience in the field, do you derive your perspective?

And it's not just a simple question of opportunity cost - or, rather, it is, but you're wrong about in which direction. The same people who are building useless junk that nobody uses absolutely could be building tools, like the one I worked on years back, that actually empower clinicians and public health workers to produce datasets susceptible to useful analysis. Doctorow's argument, with which I agree, is that they aren't doing that because it's difficult, exacting, unglamorous work, exactly the sort toward which our industry absolutely sucks at incentivizing anyone. So that's not what happens, and instead we get a bunch of pointless data about physical adjacency that's totally devoid of the kind of context it needs for any meaningful analysis to be possible - but which can be misused to any number of harmful ends.

Show HN: Home Made Air Purifier
Note: this is not my idea, but I have used it for 2 Cal fire seasons successfully.

1) Acquire a box fan

2) Acquire a large "FPR 10" rated filter from home depot

3) Duct tape filter to the out flow side of the box fan. Make sure the arrows on the filter point in the correct airflow direction.

This works dramatically well for very little dollars and can help save your lungs if air purifiers are not available or expensive.

I disagree.

“No lower price” is not anti-competitive, it’s a common retail policy, and traditionally has been viewed as pro-competitive as it stops predatory pricing tactics.

It also implies the existence of a marketplace of dealers for iOS apps: there is none. The marketplace is among two different platforms vying for users.

ISVs are free to exclusively support one platform or the other. Google could lower their cut to 15% as incentive. The fact that they don’t do this is testament to Apple’s platform ability to attract customers that actually spend money.

Fundamentally this is about retailer policies and a reseller has every right to reject your product if it doesn’t want to represent it. 30% markup isn’t unreasonable when looking at actual retailers with a mix of products that have markups that vary from 5-100%.

What you want is Google and Apple’s platforms to be declared utilities where their platforms are state-regulated businesses that are forced to create a marketplace of retailers and are forced to have a 3rd party agency determine app admission guidelines across stores. This is far beyond the reach of antitrust law and will require legislative solutions.

Two tiers of completion would now exist: among retailers and among platforms. The cut % in some cases will go down. It is however debatable this will lead to overall lower consumer prices or a better consumer experience. The platforms are now entrenched for a generation and can’t make major changes except by 3rd party permission. All these new agencies need to be funded, and this raises the supply chain cost. The new admission guidelines might be worse or better. The retail experiences will be confusing as none will be default. The MSRP of software will be confusing (unless it’s mandated that ISVs publish one).

All of this to solve the problem of ISVs that want to build and sell the same product on two platforms and want to be able to take more of the retail margin for themselves?

Hard pass. I’d much rather see time, energy, and capital be allocated to entrepreneurs that may topple this regime by making a better alternative.

> In 4.5 billion years, the Milky Way will collide with Andromeda. This presents us with a literal galactic-scale single-turn prisoner's dilemma: If intelligent life exists in Andromeda, they may already be preparing to conquer the Milky Way. If they are, and we don't prepare to fight back, they will obviously win. We won't have any ability to communicate with Andromeda to find out their intentions until it's too late. The earlier we start preparing, the more likely we are to survive.

I'm trying to imagine what to do now in preparation for a hostile encounter in 4.5 billion years that isn't already happening organically. By "organically", I mean both "in the course of gradual or natural development" and "w.r.t. living matter", given the time scale.
