That and the human population would rapidly saturate the planet within this century. That of course may happen anyway, however as is we at least have a fighting shot at managing it. Life expectancy expansion has to be gradual so we can adjust to it (in numerous ways), otherwise it'd likely prompt a cataclysmic humanity crash (bubble then crash). Beyond things getting more expensive, we'd probably just have a plain resource-driven civilization crash in much of the world.

Annual births more or less peaked in 1988 at around 139/140 million, which is close to the level we're still at today [1]. Annual deaths however keep climbing, from roughly 48m in 1988 to 60m or so today. Births are set to decline while deaths keep climbing throughout the century.

Clear most of the natural deaths for just the next 80 years, and it's the difference between then having 18-20 billion (or more) people in the year 2100 versus the present common projections of around 11'ish billion. Would have to resolve in the fantasy age extension scenario whether people can keep having children for hundreds of years, as that would change projections radically. Governments would likely aggressively regulate population expansion if so, rather than hoping for self-restriction (eg if it took a natural form of tapering via per capita births dropping to match the changes). Does raising a child become a 100 year responsibility? Does our pre-adult immaturity / adolescence time expand to fill the allotted life expectancy? Lots of questions in the fantasy premise.

From some. I simply don’t care. To me, Apple are keeping my highly sensitive data (my phone is my bank card, address book, post box, todo list...) secure. I’m really grateful the tools and experience is consistently so good for so long. Whether I’m paying that 30% or the software devs are, I’m not really bothered. I want the high quality to continue. I accept that multiple app stores may improve things... but from what I hear, that’s not the case on Android.

I think we only have this discussion because of Apple’s market cap. Most others are envious. Sure, Apple have a lot of power, but they do a fairly good job of using it responsibly. The interactions with the Chinese government do desire further scrutiny, however.

I’m not a shareholder.
Considering how quickly Tesla built up an infrastructure without having much money, it should not be a huge task given the money the large companies even spend for advertising only.
I sort of agree and disagree. I will admit upfront I still cant articulate my thoughts very well on the subject matter.

I dont see why collecting 30% from Games is anything off limit. I consider Gaming as Non-Essential. If you dont like the Gaming Platform. Go Elsewhere. Literally every Gaming Platform collects 30% ( if not more ) on Games being sold. That is everything from early days of Nintendo, Sega, and now Playstation and Xbox. So in the case of EPIC, why are they happy with Sony and Microsoft charging them 30% on Playstation and Xbox? Whether they are losing money on the console sales is irrelevant in this context, that is their business model, and that is how the market works and accept. Nintendo is able to compete with a profits on both console and games.

However charging 30% on Apps, on productivity, business tools and when there are only One competing App Platform in the whole world ( of whole of US ) is where the question of Monopoly or Monopsony comes into play.

I dont think there is an easy answer. On one hand, changing 30% of subscription for Education and Fitness App is ridiculous. Apple being the sole buyer and pitching these client / business / partners against each other while benefiting from it is precisely the definition of Monopsony.

On the other hand, I would much rather paid this 30% extortion than having a platform where user can, no matter how difficult it may be, able to side load Apps. I dont want any of my family member doing it. If you really want the ability to side loads, Android it is.

I think Apple should just keep the 30% on Games. 15% of One Time Purchase Apps, 10% on Subscription and call it a day. I think that is a fair deal. Payment Processing, Fraud Protection, Refund and General Admin and Store Operation would have put it close to 5%. Business aren't losing much with the 10% Rent. With the lower commission Apple can better Enforce the Sign up rules. No more "Reader" App Guidelines. You are allowed to give better deals else where like on your Website. But as a consumer I am happy with the extra 10% for the safety of going through Apple.

And some additional info, it is estimated that 80% of App Store Revenue are from Gaming. So dropping the Apps and Subscription to 15% / 10% arrangement isn't going to make their services revenue collapse. Apple are also working hard on their AppleCare+ push, as you can now buy it within the first year of your purchase and Apple Store Genius has had their KPI percentage increased for AppleCare sold. ( Personally I think what is happening in Apple Retail is even worst than the App Store )

Huh, I think you're right. I've definitely experienced the things that you're describing. It's frustrating to hear an advice that you've considered, rejected for good reasons, and with those reasons being too complicated to explain to the other party in the scope of a conversation.

I'll think about it more.
Here in Argentina it is common to call the Rho(D) immune globulin injection a "vaccine" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rho(D)_immune_globulin . I even heard that from doctors and nurses. Each time I have to decide if I have to start a rant or just smile and wave.

Yea, piloted ball lighting. SARS-nCoV-2 viruses are small ball lightnings too, like everything else nowadays. Small ball lightnings.
It often happens during my night shifts. You cant imagine how many plannings can go wrong. Finishing work in 1 hour less is just about as funny as spending an extra hour at work without actual work to do.

I wonder how much fun people who have to communicate plannings across borders get to have: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_by_countr...
Everything you said is correct. We've described two ways to apply these rotations, one of which will gimbal lock.

And Quaternions of course have several advantages and you should use them for those reasons.

The goal of the article was simply to explain that avoiding gimbal lock isn't the main reason you should consider Quaternions, which most people commenting here seem to have already been aware of.
This might be unpopular, but if you don't feel like the compensation adequately reflects your effort, then you're free to do whatever you think is fair. It's your work. Slack isn't entitled to that work. Ideally, you'd check beforehand what a bug bounty program usually pays out and then decide whether to work on some other company's product that pays better. But you're always going to have people who are interested in doing this stuff and you're always going to have people who will look for the best pay-out for the work they've done.

The problem with starting with the baseline of "the right thing to do is always to disclose the vulnerability to Slack regardless of how little they pay" is that it perpetuates the exploitation of legitimate and important work by skilled workers. The onus should be on Slack to provide fair compensation, not on people doing this important work to "do it out of the good of their hearts".

Slack as a company had a revenue of $401 million last year and the average payout in their bug bounty program is $1376 (https://github.blog/2018-03-14-four-years-of-bug-bounty/). That's just disgusting.
Give uMatrix a try if you want to get even more granular.
Not retrying is implicitly a way to cancel. Also, it is a codepath that's trivially tested vs the effort to test an extra cancel path.
I still think that application is a dead end. Anything that has buttons on it these days (and increasingly so in the future) is likely to also have some kind of wifi or other remote and/or programmable interface so control of that machine really isn't something you need or want a robot to do. I'm not sure exactly what the parent had in mind but consider the problem of washing dishes. A robot that can load a dishwasher has value, a robot that can only press the start button not so much.
OP was asking if riots were organized on social media as if that was some counter argument to why we should not permit the kind of organized violence from the BuzzFeed story. This struck me as an attempt to weaken the argument that we should be upset about right-wing terrorism on social media. It has also been widely asserted by the president (among others) that left-wing groups are the bigger terror threat. OP didn't say it but I'm reading between the lines.

Short answer is that it is all still irrelevant. Any attempt to organize violent confrontations on social media should be subject to removal. Incitement is explicitly excluded from first amendment protection. Planned rioting should absolutely be shut down as well but there's been no reports of that. Banning any organizing that could possibly lead to violence is definitely not the same thing.
The point is: you don't really need black market or doing anything illegal to being paid fairly for such research. There are plenty of absolutely legal security companies that will pay you 10x for exploit like that and then just gonna sell it to highest bidder (read: all kind of government entities).

And yeah those companies in term work for 3-letter agencies and foreign governments. Of course many would consider selling to them unethical, but that would be absolutely legal.
I think the reason why it wasn't removed is probably because it wasn't clear it violated facebook policy. I guess after the fact because of media pressure facebook has decided that it did.

It looks like in the event itself there was no direct call for violence unless the event description has been lost with the caching.

Maybe they didn’t ask for it, but they sure as hell use it. No-one has to make native apps.
We should also renormalize time zones or use modern technology to eliminate them. It’s obnoxious having the sun rise so late in the western edge of time zones or so early in places (like the Eastern seaboard) that should be one zone ahead.
Ideally they should have some morality to put basic human rights and safety above profits. Even from long term perspective if they continue to ignore hate speech against Islam on their platform I am sure they would lose a lot of users.
It seems quite common for early leafs.
How things change. I think that just 10 or 15 years ago a person risking their own safety to protect someone's else building from being set on fire and burned to the ground would be considered a hero.

I'm not saying that he's innocent. It's just crazy how "That was not his business or property" makes a valid point today.
It's common here in the Netherlands for shops to charge extra for MasterCard/Visa card processing, and they advertise this at the till. Maestro is king in this country.

Buying airline tickets online often display the processing fee for using MasterCard/Visa too.

The important part is other options are displayed so I have a choice - iDeal, PayPal, MasterCard, Visa, bank transfer, etc.

Can you give me one good reason why you need to change time at all? Because you have been doing it for hundreds of years isn't a good reason. You can always wake up early if you need to do so. In today's day and age it makes no sense to change the time to suit your needs.

You may have had a valid reason to do so long ago.

You're posting on a site called Hacker News so I'd expect you to know, but does you extended family know, without you telling them? Doubt ir, just as I would expect most people to think "Hacker News" has to do something with illegality or perhaps reporting on criminal hackers.
I once had a dream that felt like it lasted a lifetime. In this dream, I had a whole new life, a different wife, kids, and I lived it through to the end. Then I woke up. It was the weirdest thing ever and I often think about it.
One important thing that doesn't appear to be noted in the article is another important reason that these unpleasant traits persist (in men) - they are often attractive to women (perhaps because they bring social success?).

I'm not sure the timeline described ("only at the last minute did it switch to stack-based encoding for the operators") is accurate, but it is the case that for a while we were working towards more of a register-oriented encoding instead of the stack oriented one that shipped. The representation of trees and operands was also different. I think what ultimately shipped was probably right, but the semantics described by the article for blocks are incredibly gross and if I had known about them I would've blocked them. The author's conclusion that this is due to wasm's asm.js-derived heritage is accurate (also, arguably the 'lots of locals' model was unavoidable since everyone was compiling wasm using JS runtimes anyway.)

Incidentally this claim is false: "No streaming compiler had yet been built, hell, no compiler had yet been built." Early in development we had at least two different compilers used to generate test cases - one compiler for a home-grown imperative language written by Nick Bray, and another compiler for a subset of C# that I wrote [1]. Having those two compilers generating code early on was useful given that neither emscripten or LLVM were capable of compiling real apps so we were flying blind without them. Development of LLVM integration also started very early, the problem is just that it took a long time until it was usable.

As for whether the lessons from those compilers were actually paid attention to or acted upon, well...

P.S. I still don't understand the reasoning behind "blocks have return values". Does any popular programming language out there do this except maybe some of the ML-derived ones? I've never run into it in production software. It's certainly not something a typical compiler would generate unless the source language had it as a primitive.

I don’t think people have realized that Zuckerberg’s intent is to be the Rupert Murdoch of the 21st century. He’s no ally of liberal society or democracy.
Jordan Petersen once said "working means sacrificing the present for the future", which is an amazing statement. Its incredible how much our society believes working is a must, especially fulltime. I once did a sabatical and people giving me a weird look, after finding out that I don't do a regular job. Quite sad, imho.
But it’s not a monopoly, it’s one of many, many devices. There are, at time of writing, many games platforms and many application platforms: XBox, PlayStation, Nintendo, IOS, Android, Windows, MacOS, Linux, with Google Stadia too.

Developers make a choice and everything sold on those platforms has distribution costs. Fortnite is available on most if not all of those platforms. AND, players play against one another through the internet not through a private developers network. So there’s plenty of competition. Why Epic aren’t demanding Nintendo and Sony take a lower cut is a mystery. Or maybe not?

Epic have massively, massively, overplayed their hand here. Instead of creating an amazing new game and using THAT as leverage to platform owners for a deal, they’ve made a satirical video, broken a contract, had their bluff called, and cemented their place in future business school classes as how not to go about a negotiation.
Well getting rid of daylight saving time will be one step to that.
I have to wonder if the electrodes and implants are really necessary? Mary Lou Jepsen is working on reading and writing activity to individual neurons using infrared holography -- a wearable device.
I don’t think there are many people who think as a whole our system is “reasonable.” Just those that recognize the “be careful what you wish for” possibility. For example, for people who always point out how efficient European single payer health care is and how much money we’d all save if we switched to it: the U.S. government is already spending more per-capita on healthcare (Medicaid, Medicare, VA, etc.) than most European countries pay for single-payer healthcare systems that covers everyone [0]. So switching everyone on private plans (or uncovered) to a single-payer system is mathematically impossible to be even close to as cheap as other countries have it. (When I say per-capita, that means dividing the costs by all residents of a country, not just those enrolled in the plan).

That doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be better than what we have now, but it’s disingenuous when people imply that all it takes is to change the “payer” and we’d magically fall in line with costs seen in Europe. The real issue is many-fold and in order to truly bring costs down its going to take a lot of sacrifices from the provider side as well. Most doctors, nurses, and others in the health care industry in Europe (and other places with single-payer systems) do not earn nearly as much as their counterparts in the U.S.

"I imagine that the Indian population might object to American companies..."

Does the average Indian person even consciously reflect on Facebook being an American company? I get the impression that for so much of the developing world where Facebook/Whatsapp/Instagram are just about the only internet people know (because these sites don’t count against their mobile data, because they don’t even have e-mail and this is the only way they communicate with people, etc.), people don’t even think about where all this infrastructure comes from. It’s just “the internet”, and it exists with no particular origin or nationality like the air they breathe or the rain that falls from the sky.

Could be a friendly running a test for some jamming technology with orders to fly specific patterns on top of a real installation to gather data in the form of radar and witness reports.
"It works on my machine" was generally the feedback I got from the server maintainers as well. It's true that only a few people had problems, but those people were the kind of people that needed to be listened to when they said "Jitsi doesn't work so we need something else". The problems in Jitsi were impenetrable for me and anyone else that looked into them, so saying no wasn't an option.
So, I completely understand the concerns about moderation on Facebook itself.

But what would you actually have anyone do about WhatsApp? It's an end-to-end encrypted messaging app, and the whole purpose of end-to-end encryption (which, last I checked, HN was generally in favour of) is that there is no way to surveil or moderate the content of someone's communications.
Does the former require paying $99/yr to Apple? If so no thanks.

And as for jailbreaking, the last time I jailbroke an iOS device was many years ago, and it never worked 100%. Every time I rebooted the damn thing it had to be connected to a computer to re-unlock it again. I don't know how the experience is now but it was terrible then. I haven't bought an Apple device since because I like the out-of-the-box ability to install whatever random stuff I want.

Chromebook in the early days? I’m not sure if it’s open even now (without dual booting Linux).
The problem with this attitude is as always, where is the limit. Certainly some limits can't be crossed - why a week, why not an hour, or even better, a minute ? Because you know stuff takes time and its never sure (at least in IT) how much time is it.

So this is unhelpful in general, as there is no action you can deduce from it without risking maybe huge downsides (i.g. quality or quantity of work).
