> The scare words really kill your credibility. It’s tear gas and pepper spray, not mustard gas.

If it were a foreign military doing the exact same action to the exact same people, it would be a war crime. There are serious impacts from using tear gas, including poorly-understood hormonal impacts to women, particularly pregnant women.

> Stop trying to manufacture an oppressed victim narrative.

I haven't manufactured anything, these are things that have been happening for three months via aggressive, proactive police action. You can go see it for yourself by attending a protest at a major city. Or you can review the countless videos. Or you can listen to people (like me) who were there.

> We can call a water cannon a chemical weapon too.

No we can't. Water cannons are also unacceptable in these situations, however. People like to act like these weapons are relatively harmless, but people have been disabled, nearly killed, or straight-up killed with them.
There are a lot of poor people who are not criminals who don't like being lumped in with the criminals. Welcome them, and show by example how to live a better crime free life. Show that education is what made you able to afford fun things. Show that you aren't actually smarter, but a few life choices that they can point their kids to (as an adult it is often too late) can bring their kids to your level.
Keep in mind, I've basically shift on this within the last day or two, so my thinking is possibly still underbaked when it comes to "the other side." But I think you might be making the mistake of thinking that since Apple does A, B, and C, and they have the safest/best experience, therefore A, B, and C are necessary for them to continue to have the safest/best experience.

I can see a world, for example, in which Apple approves a very-limited number of alternate app stores, each of which must still give Apple 30% of what they make from every transaction. So a $1 purchase in Apple's App Store gives them 30 cents, while a $1 purchase in Epic's App Store gives Epic 14 cents, and Apple 6 cents (30% of the 20 cents the ultimate developer doesn't get).

Would that mean Apple would go broke? I don't think so. Would Epic find that it's harder to make things work on 14% than they'd estimated? Could be: they gave up going indie over on Android already. Would I be forced to use the alternate App Store? I suspect only for apps excluded from Apple's App Store, because what developer would want to give up on that revenue?

> Right now, if you don't like what Apple's doing, you can choose not to do with Apple; and if I do, I can choose to go with them

I think the reasoning here misses the point. If Apple were doing something truly dastardly, inarguably evil, would this argument still apply? It's not trivial to switch platforms, though it is possible. And "Apple's way or the highway" shouldn't give them a license to do whatever they want to, no matter what.

I hope that whatever is decided in court, I am able to stick with the Apple experience I know and appreciate. But maybe also I want to use one of the several game-streaming services that Apple will not allow. Must I buy an Android tablet to use Stadia? How much other innovation is currently not happening, or are unavailable to iOS users because of Apple's App Store restrictions?

If we ever colonize Mars, it might become one for a little stretch of time. Just like America was at the beginning, China not long ago, etc.
Whether you agree or disagree with huge sat constrellations, I think that a matter that clearly impacts the entire world should not be decided by a handful of people from a single country.
It’s not even close. Apple is forcing developers how they can reach their customer. Epic deals are made by developers with regards to how they want to reach their customers. They are both uncomfortable for some customers, but that is not the issue. Let’s say you utterly dislike Wal Mart and your favorite ice cream is exclusively available there because Wal Mart struck a deal with the maker (e.g. they’ll fund them). That’s not the same as Wal Mart forcing the ice cream vendor to sell exclusively to Wal Mart because otherwise the item will be banned from the shelves, which results in a huge loss in customer reach, thus abusing their market position.
> People working in the industry know that you just need a lawyer or CPA to sign off on that.

In your experience how willing are CPAs or lawyers to do that for you?

In theory they're putting their credentials on the line for you, so I imagine it's either hard to find ones that will do that or very expensive to the point where it eats into the investment return with the amounts of capital being invested below the accredited investor limit.
> The crazy thing is that a foreign citizen can invest in an American start up without any of these credentials, yet a US citizen cannot.

These rules are generally based on the residence of the investor, not their citizenship. I'm an American in Quebec currently, and it's the Quebec/Canadian rules which determine my eligibility to invest while I'm living here, not the SEC's. And in Canada's case, the accredited investor rules are broadly similar to what the US rules were before this announcement, with the same dollar amounts but in Canadian dollars and with a lot of other differences in the details.
A pretty good correlation exists between poverty and crime. You see the same kind of reactions in even small cities when there's a plan to build a homeless shelter or halfway house or any other such institutions, nobody wants it in their back yard, nobody wants the negative externalities.

You can call it cold, and it is, but it's also entirely rational.

I agree with deleting tests. But when raising this with any team I've ever worked on, I might as well have said I was going to go drop the prod database. Deleting tests, in my experience, comes with a massive stigma that I am not sure how to surmount.

Everything should be questioned ruthlessly and UI is not like fashion that needs to keep up with trends. Although, if we are designing a website for a music band, all bets are off :)
It's worth it in the balance of user privacy and how accurate attributions are imo. Apple are tilting the balance back in favour of users.
> A proper transit network and walkable design ensures that this doesn't become a problem.

While that's true, if you don't have a proper transit network, it's a real problem. And many cities aren't in a position to build a proper transit network at the drop of a hat. Don't get me wrong, I wish they did or could efficiently build one. But sometimes you have to deal with reality as it is, not as you'd like it to be, unfortunately.
This is true, usually.

It leads to interesting quirks in real estate listings, where identical houses get listed with very different sizes. Example, my house was listed at 1500sqft. Same model one row over was listed at 2000sqft. The 500sqft different is the basement - it's finished in both homes, but was not part of the original building listing (1972).

Oh, I am well-aware, as I have been on a somewhat niche Schedule II prescription for over a decade now. It can be quite a hassle.

I am merely pointing out that the idea that medical doctors being unaware of a basic correlation between opioids and addiction, one which has progressed from one medicine to another over the decades, seems ... disingenuous? Preciously naive? Remember, I am replying to "If the companies are lying about safety, how are the doctors supposed to know?"

Here, I think the doctors are supposed to know in the case of opioids because this is an ongoing historical trend. A random new class of medicine? No, they will probably trust the safety sheet, as well they should. The umpteenth opioid? I would be viewing with a gimlet eye anything saying "Nah, no addictive potential."
US homes are relatively new compared to many of the homes in Europe, so I'm not sure why you're calling them 'old'.

Also, Europe's prevalent masonry construction might "feel" solid, but that doesn't equal a high level of "building standards". A whole lot of western safety/environmental/plumbing/electrical/accessibility standards have changed in the past 20-70 years.

Much in the way chrome-adorned '60s US cars "felt" solid, and older people scoffed at the inornate "plastic cars" of the '90s, this perception of quality didn't translate to actual engineering superiority.

Some of the over-sized chintzy boxes that are built in the US are actually built to pretty dang good standards, i.e.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Building_Code
"Air bags is amortized over 20 years" Cars don't last 20 years, generally... 5-10. And airbags are one of hundreds of "improvements".

TVs are an example of the plethora of technology that most homes have. From microwaves to air conditioners to cell phones...

"Canceling one thing isn't going to support your family" Which is why I didn't mention one thing... I mentioned a handful of things. A host of "modern conveniences" that add up.

Education, health insurance and other things cost more? Those are also things that the government has stepped in to make more affordable as well... which is a massive topic in of itself.

My main point stands... quality of life and cost of life has risen with hundreds of costs that add up (a mere 100 for an air bag... a mere couple bucks a month for data on your phone... a mere 5 for text messages... a mere 100 for a microwave... etc.etc.etc.etc).

Remove all the "extra" stuff that's standard today compared to 50 years ago and even with outliers (IE Health Insurance), you'll still be much closer to being able to afford the same quality of life as "way back then".
I mean, Tesla was as ubiquitous (if not more) in my EE degree as Bose and Poincare were in my Physics degree. I don't think I heard Hawking mentioned once during my Physics degree but I also didn't care to take any astronomy coursework.
There is only one reason that I've ever had to use bittorrent. It turns out that some musicals are not available through streaming because the copyright assignment wasn't set up correctly and nobody has been able to come to an agreement on how to split the revenue.

Movies from My Fair Lady to Bullets Over Broadway are affected. You can go onto Netflix, Amazon, and so on, and none can let you watch. They can only ship you a DVD.

After literally failing to find anyone who could take my money, I went to bittorrent. (And had to VPN to pretend not to be in the USA.)
Personally the way I'd phrase it is you need to refactor your tests just like you'd refactor the app code, but even looking at doing that independent of any app code refactoring.
Why Hurricane Katrina Was Not a Natural Disaster
Epic took Fortnite out of Google's Play Store because they wanted to stop giving Google 30% of all transactions. After a few months, they put it back in.

Very, very, very few developers are going to avoid Apple's App Store deliberately. It just doesn't make economic sense. Game-streaming services don't have a choice, of course.
I'd agree that interop with .NET is the main advantage of F# over OCaml.

My point was more that I think OCaml competes mostly with other functional and more generally GCed languages, not a language like Rust.
I think we need more details, because the same can be applied to the Delaware C-Corp.

1- Registered agent: I'm assuming you live in BC, Canada. If that was the case in Delaware, you shouldn't need a registered agent.

2- Franchise Tax: Can be minimized to $225 according to OP blog post. But you are not specifying whether you incorporated an LLC-equivalent or a C-Corp-equivalent.

3- Filing Taxes: This is a tricky one. You are comfortable with taxes in Canada, and probably also making a balance sheet. US taxes might seem complicated (and scary!) but you probably can get comfortable with them. The additional form that the OP is submitting is related to him being non-resident. I assume Canada has also its rules about non-residents.

So in total: $50 vs. $225. Seems negligible to me to care about.

I guess I view Apple as a luxury ecosystem: I pay extra and get locked into a secondary ecosystem, and in return, they make lots of marginal improvements all over the place (privacy, camera, etc.) that make my life ever-so-slightly easier.

It's more than just $-for-product; 100s of millions of other users have Samsung, Google, etc. to buy from.
That's a pretty big brush. Explain what is undemocratic on defending the US from a CCP dragnet.
It’s only tangentially related to the point you’re making, but I think it’s hilarious the difference between how tough Bundy thought he was being, and the sad image of him being wheeled out of the legislature on the cheapest office chair Office Depot has to offer. He looks like a child that’s just realizing that holding his breath might not be an effective way to get what it wants.
IPOs are the way they are because of a lot of historical reasons. Before everybody and their uncle had a stock trading account, the investment banks and their moneyed clients were often the only way to get access to capital in meaningful quantities. The biggest investment banks hoarded these contacts. It was therefor hard for other banks to compete. Obviously if you were going to IPO, you’d want to go to the biggest bank with the most moneyed contacts. That caused a concentration of power.

If the fundraising rules for direct listings are changed, and it looks like that may happen, then there are fewer reasons to go the IPO route (there are still benefits, such as the investment bank and their customers taking all the risk should the IPO be a flop, but that seems to not happen a lot anymore).

There seems to be a need for resources about browser internals. This is something we could potentially pursue on web.dev. However, it's a big field. Can you all help me by:

* Listing situations in which you needed to go deeper into how browser internals work and didn't find good resources

Epic violated the agreements they signed with Apple.

Whether or not we care for the contents of the agreements is a separate issue. Apple did not capriciously act against Epic - if they had then Epic wouldn’t have had an advertising campaign and lawsuit ready to go within hours.

The situation with WinRAR is completely different and it doesn’t help anything in trying to conflate the two; indeed it just muddies the waters :(

I remember arranging a talk for my college’s AITP Club in 2012 which was sold to me as a trendy “How to XCode for iOS Blah Blah Blah.” After setting up the projector and giving a brief introduction the guy went headfirst into an evangelical tirade about TDD. No XCode, no iOS, no iPhone app. From that day forward I knew TDD was bullshit.
Is that an honest question? The answer to that question is in their comment and your asking of it seems to be rhetorical.

When I moved to the US from Europe, I was suprised by how complicated everything is (and I thought the EU was unnecessarily complicated).

Yes, you have the same language and the same currency, but other than that you’re pretty much dealing with 50 different countries all with their own laws and taxes. Sales taxes can be different even on the county and city level. Luckily everything has been done and solved before but it means you’re gonna have to rely much more on lawyers and accountants to get things done.
I would think 1957 and 1968 would be more comparable, since, to say the least, there was a lot of other stuff going on in 1918 that might impact that (like the husband is away at war). Of course, I'm sure there was a lot going on in 1957 and 1968 too, but not to 1918 levels.

But, you're right, we'll know soon enough. Lockdown lasted a lot longer than power outages, also.
I will counter this one with a hypothetical for you. Monsanto, or Bayer now I guess, trots out a totally safe guys we pinky-swear pesticide. Would you add a little to your drinking water every day? Safety sheets say it can't hurt.

You would probably not do this because you have a historical association with pesticides turning out to be rather broader in impact than was originally let on. You understand that history.

I only suggest that this historical wariness sounds completely reasonable for opioids, whereas a brand new drug class has no history associated with it.

You didn't even read the article you posted since it comes to the opposite conclusion

> Was Soviet caloric intake higher than the US'?

No. In saying this, I'm saying the FAO is wrong, and that Robert Allen, who based his calculations in FAO data (and used their multipliers), didn't notice. To say this, I had to go through a full literature review, and I come to this opinion. Before reading my post, you were totally justified in believing that caloric intake was higher.
Good points! You start looking for a competitor.

Personally, I don’t like the argument “they weren’t going to buy it anyways.” So you get to enjoy the software or movie, and it’s no harm done because you weren’t going to buy it anyways? I think a lot of times this is a cop out excuse. In my mind, and just as your graphics example points out somebody somewhere lost an opportunity or a sale. Not saying there aren’t cases where pirating is justified, but I often get the feeling a lot of people are holding on to excuses that don’t apply specifically to justify their 6 TB Plex library.
Ad-funded apps are usually garbage. Prime example is the Facebook app, or Messenger.
There's a correlation but I don't think it's the one drawn from the article (programming language). I think that you have to consider the background of the person who would typically opt for these languages to start a new business/project. This might inform you of their thinking and perhaps a language like Java, where the developer is likely an Enterprise developer, leads to more brittle thought and execution. "Move fast and break" vs "thoughtful OOP and architecture" -- It's possible to do that in both languages but you'd rarely encounter a "move fast" Java developer while you'd probably quickly encounter "move fast" Ruby developers.

That's perhaps down to experience having the effect of hardening oneself. You've made the mistakes, you don't want to make them again, so you create solutions that are more robust and by definition "better code" and "better designed". Unfortunately, this can cause you take longer to get to market and if you do have to pivot, can be a harder effort pivoting off of a larger, purpose-built codebase.
Not just the Sacklers: the government and the doctors are equally at fault. There should not be a trust system here, checks and balances.
Depends on the group of students or size of a multi-generational household. I live in a 14-person house, and previously a 19-person one.

Students frequently enjoy larger communities, especially since it's often a lot more affordable to have a large house split 10-20 ways than a medium house split five. ("Medium" is a stretch, since five bedrooms is a large house in the US.)

These aren't the most common arrangements, but that doesn't mean they should be prohibited.
