When Apple starts OEMing iPhones, get back to me.

The cases are not even close to being in the same league.

Microsoft didn’t force OEMs to preinstall IE: it came with the Plus! pack in Win95 which was optional. IE shipped preinstalled on the OSR1 distributions in late 1995. OEMs couldn’t uninstall it. MS saw IE as a feature, nor a product. The DOJ disagreed. And yes, the API arguments were the other factor of the consent decree violation.

Apple:

- has no consent decree to violate

- is not being anticompetitive by taking a retail cut on a store for its own platform (ISVs are free to go exclusively Android); Google is free to drop its retail cut, 3rd party stores on Android exist, and also the browser exists and is arguably completely unrestricted.

- should be allowed the freedom to admit apps on its platform to better the consumer experience.

Interfering with this collapses the whole security and curation value add of the App Store, or relegates it to a 3rd party with different incentives, or declares that Apple’s store is the only one where ISVs make money and therefore must become a utility because ISVs want more margin.

Good luck with arguing this. It will take 5+ years or more to legislate properly, and I suspect parliaments have bigger problems to deal with.

If one wanted to chase Apple for anticompetitive behavior it would be to do some amazing stuff in-browser with things like WASM, streaming, etc. and argue that Apple is blocking those innovations with its Safari mandatory policy to force people to use its App Store and native APIs. That’s the closest where I can see this argument holding water.
Green is great, but probably the most moral kilowatt is that both green (as in accounts for the environmental load, so it minimizes eco-debt that future humans would have to "pay back") and maximizes current humans' needs, eg. powers homes, schools, hospitals where currently there millions live without stable electricity.
From the story I linked:

> When officers Nathan Woodyard, Jason Rosenblatt and Randy Roedema stopped Elijah McClain on his way home, one telling him that he was "being suspicious," according to police body camera video. McClain responded, "I have a right to go where I am going."

> The officers immediately grabbed McClain, who repeatedly told them to let him go.

This has nothing to do with being visible, talking with the community, investigating suspicious activity, or double-checking that nothing is wrong.
My thoughts exactly.

Even with 30 million RPi's sold by late 2019, I'd be surprised if there was a single case of someone plausibly having bought it under the mistaken belief it was an Apple product.

Consumers are by no means prefect but they simply aren't as stupid as Apple's case implies!

One thing I appreciate about second-hand bookshops and libraries is that they are not curated for me.

I read a lot of non-fiction, and I find that websites like Amazon and Goodreads do give decent suggestions, but they are books about topics I already know, sharing ideas I am already familiar with, in a style I like. I can feel the customer profit gradient descent maximization breathing down my neck. Looking at you, books with sans-serif titles, white backgrounds, and clever illustrations!

Algorithmic websites prioritize the new and the popular, whereas bookshops and libraries still feature the old and obscure (I realize that libraries have 30 copies of Harry Potter, but you get my point).

So, in my opinion, while these vicious market forces are currently destroying bookshops, I think it'll get to a steady state where bookshops serve a smaller, more loyal and niche audience.

It turns out someone (could be you?) wrote a Medium article about open-source software using the "free as in puppy" metaphor, although I don't think that they really used in the same way you are here with regards to a corporation using the open-source community to functionally receive free labor. I'm definitely going to add it to my mental list...

Let me give you some anecdotes.

I have been ticketed for speeding on both sides of the border. RCMP makes is extremely professional. The whole conversation almost sounds like getting a bill from a roofer guy, explaining how to pay it and why you should check your roof more often. U.S. cops have a lot more of the "Ha-ha, now you're mine, bastard" attitude. I was extremely polite and complying both times.

Police often camps out in public events, like car shows, building trust with people. Silly things like giving stickers to kids and letting them climb on police ATVs for pictures, or officers showing off the tech in their cars to car enthusiasts.

When it comes to controversial topics, optics is everything. When a couple of student protestors blocked a major train line protesting against an oil pipeline, and commuters got really pissed off, since they couldn't get to their workplaces, the officer arresting them looked like a 60+ year old grandma with the "stop fooling around, kids" look. Nobody got hurt and the media got zero chance to blow it to any kind of a scandal.

If I were looking for an engine to build a game on I'd have to think twice about using Unreal Engine in the future. Having the company that builds such a foundational component of the product in open war with one of the most important platforms it runs on is an added complication that would only harm me.

In this case, it seems the goals of Epic the game publisher versus Epic the component supplier really don't align, and Epic the publisher's needs are winning out.
I understand that reviewing 27k LoC is daunting and probably not very fun.

But unlike most patches that draw a similar response it's not a narrowly useful patch that mostly serves the submitter. Proper NTFS support benefits a large proportion of Linux users (the jab from the article that there are more advanced file systems out there seems out of place; there are no signs that windows is about to switch its default FS to something else).

Additionally this code has been used in production for years now (e.g. my 2015 router runs the closed source version of this driver in order to support NTFS formatted external drives) so most likely a lot of quality issues have already been found and addressed.

So I feel it's a bit unreasonable to respond with so much negativity to this contribution.
Delhi, at least, appears to have around a 5% detection rate over the past month.

There was a population-wide serosurvey conducted from Aug 1st to 7th, which resulted in a 29.1% prevalence estimate, and an earlier one from June 27th to July 10th, which resulted in a 22.8% estimate. Assuming a 2 week period for IgG to be detected after infection, these surveys correspond to prevalence as of 20th July and 20th June roughly. With a population of 20M, that's around 1.25M new infections in that period. The confirmed cases by PCR testing increased by ~60000, yielding (roughly) a detection rate of 5%.
Browser compat is barely an issue today. Modern web development tools and more standardization mean you just have to test your code on a few browsers, but 99% of modern JS will run the same on Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.

I think the key difference is whether the panel is placed at ground level (as in a solar road) or raised (as in most large-scale solar installations where the panels are raised on mounts that can also move and track the sun). The latter is pretty much self-cleaning when it comes to dry debris because the wind would eventually blow them away onto the ground (where the former will collect them forever).

Excel is not word, but ok. If you need to edit plain text, sure. That's not a particularly interesting use case.

I don't collaboratively edit documents with people - I'd rather send them a version, take comments/revision, go through the comments and decide, instead of having them change the document text without my knowledge.

As for my use case I use spreadsheets.

I make spreadsheets that query databases and perform analyses and then spit out reports. Anyone with excel, db permissions, and the right db connector can use them. Google's version doesn't even have half the features I'd need to get it to work when I checked a little earlier this year.

The UI on google sheets is brutally slow and painful to use compared to something running not in the browser. Maybe I'm an odd case because most of my files have tens or hundreds of thousands of rows.

also, on point 4, I think this is some kind of computer tech bubble. once you go away from computer tech, google sheets is not great with people outside my organization because they're all expecting excel.

There's no reason for entry to be hostile. It's quite hostile, even coming from Canada. The US would be fine if we had the same entry standards as Canada and an open border...

We could also rather politely control immigration by having a solid system for verifying employment eligibility and fining the pants off of employers that violate it. There's literally no reason to run around policing the individuals working without authorization.
> Q: How are solar panels hazardous?

> A: Solar panel wastes include heavy metals such as silver, copper, lead, arsenic, cadmium, selenium that at certain levels may be classified as hazardous wastes.

> Q: What does data show? What are the constituents that make the panels hazardous?

> A: In general, data shows that older silicon panels may be hazardous due to lead solder. Some older silicon panels are hazardous for hexavalent chromium coatings. Cadmium tellurium (CdTe) panels are typically hazardous due to the cadmium. Gallium arsenide (GaAs) panels may be hazardous due to the arsenic. Thin film panels, such as copper indium gallium selenide (CIS/CIGS) panels, may be hazardous due to the copper and/or selenium.

> Q: What about electronic components associated with the solar panels? What are they hazardous for?

> A: The electronic components associated with the solar panels (e.g. drivers, inverters, circuit boards) contain all of the common electronic device hazardous constituents such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, selenium, and chromium.

There are better power plant designs, but regulations are based on designs from 50+ years ago, and thus no one has built a new safer design since.

It was a question and not a statement so I don't need to base it on anything beyond knowing that how you ask a question in a survey is incredibly influential on the response you get.

I would guess that "Do you oppose government data collection?" would get different answers than "Would you support government data collection at the border in order to try to curtail illegal immigration and terrorism?" which is how this administration will likely defend this.

Apple cares desperately about exclusivity since even before Cook. If Android has the same games and the same apps then there is less reason to favor iOS. There is nothing sacrificed to move between platforms. They don't care for any technology that fosters multi-platform games or apps.

Apple Arcade could basically be called "Games Never On Android".

I’m not convinced because many of those “legitimate websites” don’t have a very good track record of respecting user security and privacy. Given past events, I find it hard to believe that the ad industry or the entertainment industry or any other industry won’t abuse access to these APIs. To make it worse, if popular websites wants permission to use these highly-invasive APIs, users would have no choice but to cave in. This worries me a lot.

Even if you don’t consider bad intentions, the security implications are huge. Imagine if Zoom had used this feature. The security fiasco a few months back would’ve been made a whole lot worse.
You can use native platform widgets with Sciter. If you will find one suitable.

It is just that there are absolutely no standard platform widgets (at least on Windows) for this UI.

I don't know how it works in Europe, but I actually think the vaccine liability program in the US makes a ton of sense, ensuring that companies are still incentivized to make vaccines, while injured people can still get compensatiom. Honestly, I wish more medical malpractice law worked like this (IIRC malpractice law in the Netherlands or Denmark does generally work from this "no fault" baseline).

Security concerns here are overblown, and this is IMHO more useful than WebRTC. This is how it should have been done to begin with, as well as the ugly hack known as web sockets.

You don’t need another discovery method after you take their Twitter account and email :)

My point is that Twitter is probably enough.

Not every game will, and many will need some modifications, but lots of games work great on iOS, console, and PC.

Working on someone else's code is no fun. I do it, when I get paid properly, but can't say I enjoy it. So I understand that not everyone is enthusiastic about that gift.

And who needs it? There are alternatives to read or write the occasional file (e.g. if you happen to have forgotten the Admin's password) of a NT box, but I can't say that I missed the ability to create new files in a NTFS. And why now? Surely those who actually needed that functionality, needed it years ago and meanwhile found some other solution. Perhaps those who actually need it still volunteer to ready that driver for inclusion into the kernel or sponsor someone who can?

Ah, I see-- not an 8GB, 1-GPU server, but an 8-GPU server. That does make a bit of a difference, changing the cost from a new workstation to functionally a piece of capital equipment. Still, I'm not sure that my point about equipment costs falls short--even at (call it) $40K, you're probably talking less than 3 months of the company's all-in cost for the developer themself, amortized over multiple years.
It's also no big deal from either side. Paragon sent in the patch and it's appreciated. There's a few problems to get this in. Reviewers noted the issues and what would need to be done to get this through. The process to get this in is happening.
