The EU cases aren't likely to inform how Epic's case is going to work out in a US court. The European Commission also just lost a lawsuit against Apple so just because they take an aggressive position doesn't mean it will hold up in court.

The Lexmark case was about whether patents right end once a patented product is sold and doesn't seem to be directly applicable here. But note that Lexmark's technological and contractual "post sale" restrictions preventing the reuse of discount toner cartridges were not considered illegal, even if their patent rights were considered exhausted after the sale.
If I were Epic then, I’d make a button in the Epic Games Launcher which does this for the user.

The PC will never die as it cannot be replaced by locked-down ‘content consumption devices’.

If we want the phone or tablet to become a real alternative to the PC, they need to open up. It’s not just about devs being gouged for 30%, it’s also about the outright ban on some types of app, from cryptocurrency to BitTorrent to pornography.
You would still need a Mac, then to register with Apple as a developer, then connect the iphone with a cable. For each update, you need to reupload manually. And for each game - you could not upload a store app - you would need to repeat the whole procedure.

> You're missing the fact that more space allocated to roads and parking moves the things people actually want to do farther apart, increasing the need for more roads and parking.

But if this is your concern then the thing that really moves the things people actually want to do farther apart is low density zoning requirements. Which is also the thing that keeps mass transit from being viable, because it needs enough population density to fill the vehicles while still offering frequent enough service to be competitive.
I think the right for Google to monetize and place restrictions mainly centers around the Play Services which are all tied back into their non open source projects.

You could probably make a reasonable argument that Play Services are specifically designed to undermine the spirit of open source, but theoretically you could build an alternative, and use AOSP however you wish.
I did. I had a startup selling transportation software to small cities (<40k population).
Sale process was 6 months. The tender process is excruciating. You will need to meet them up to 5 times to get an informal yes (3 months), and up to 6 months to get a contract (only if they do not need to organize a public bidding).

If they need to do a public bidding because they did not planned to implement a service like yours soon, the whole process takes up to a year.

Cities all have a different tender process/rules. Most ask you to have an insurance of up to a 5 millions by event adding mostly 10/15k in expenses.

There was a lot of interest, but cities did not have the cash on hand to pay for my services. I was billing up to 100k/city/year.

Mostly, if you have a product that can be paid for by the federal government or the state, they will buy it in an heartbeat. Eg: if it helps handicapped people.

The good: the LTV is really long, 10+ years. Try to find a champion in the town hall, that person will help you setup your offer so that the different branches of the city are happy.

Also, overcharge. Cities love personnal support. You will spend a lot of time on the phone, talking to real people.

MLK explicitly advocated for policies that gave preferential treatment to Black people, so it's a bit surprising to see such a fan of his taking this stance by invoking King. For example, here's a quote from his book "Why We Can't Wait":

> Whenever the issue of compensatory or preferential treatment for the Negro is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree; but he should ask nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable, but it is not realistic. For it is obvious that if a man is entered at the starting line in a race three hundred hears after another man, the first would have to perform some impossible feat in order to catch up.

The Internet Archive has this book available for free to check out, you can read more on his argument around page 134 right here:
https://archive.org/details/whywecantwait00king/page/134/mod...

Essentially King is arguing that the government should promote the same kind of preferential hiring and other benefits that veterans get, but for members of other disadvantaged groups.
What I love about living in the tropics, is that the time of sunrise varies very little. In my location in South India, sunrise is between 5:45 AM and 6:30 AM and sunset similarly between 5:45 PM and 6:30 PM. Twilight is short. So essentially, I don't need an alarm to wake up. Sunlight streams through my windows in the moringing, and when it's dark I know that its time to stop working. I love that. I used to live Seattle earlier, and never got used to the wide variations in when sunrise and sunset actually happened.
> I have never had a single person complain about what they can't run on an iOS device.

I personally hate that I cannot reasonably run software _I_ write for _my_ phone without having/using an Apple developer account.

There now you've heard a complaint. I'm sure if you were to pay attention, you'd see this same complaint voiced quite often.

I think sleep deprivation is regarded as a feature by those in power rather than a bug.

You drill children and teenagers to get up early, so that later they are obedient, tired work horses who won't get any ideas.

Then the upper classes sagely quote that general who said that only "smart" and lazy people are leaders of the highest order.
It's good that they are trying to do such stuff, but a lot of their goals are indeed impossible. This is like taking a running processor, connecting to a couple of its legs and trying to figure out what an operating system is currently doing.
Speculation aside, you don't need a vaccine in order to get herd immunity.
> I just hope NSF doesn't interpret the change as a mandate to "de-risk" research.

I fear this has happened already elsewhere in science, and it will inevitably happen for the NSF at some point. Too many people who don't understand science and the subject of the research are trying to measure the effectiveness of individual projects, as well as funding programmes overall. Government loves to measure how effective things were, and put a number on it.

In the last 5 to 10 years, anecdotally, I'm seeing less adventurous bids, and more "safe" bids which have more defined outcomes. In a way, science has moved to a system where you "bootstrap" ahead, test and de-risk something, then bid for the money to do what you quietly bootstrapped, knowing yourself it will succeed. You then use that funding to bootstrap the next step of the research, and deliver the de-risked work you already did. In essence, I think many researchers are quietly working on the next thing on their current bid, to be able to de-risk it going forward.

When there a pressure to define outcomes of a project for funders or stakeholders, that means projects do and don't succeed, and that's often attributed to the researchers, rather than the underlying research hypothesis simply not working out.

My fear is this will get worse if these changes come through, as the focus will push even more onto measuring outputs, and on knowing the outcome before the work is done, to avoid funding an unsuccessful project. We need to remember that moon-shots are good to fund, and shouldn't be considered as failed projects, but unfortunately they are generally less interesting due to the funding body focusing on its own metrics.

I certainly didn’t downvote him, but I lived in the north and I think it’s nonsense. The reality is you end up going to school or work in the dark anyway because the sun rises later than your schedule. And then, since all the light is in the morning, you go home in the dark too; or at least it’s dark shortly after your commute ends. You basically get zero hours of daylight for several months. This is the entire reason I’m pro-DST-all-the-time.

As I recall, Apple didn't choose to do those things for many years. Originally they did just dump zips of the source code on some FTP site.

I don’t see how the “mike gives a copy to Steve who can then run it on his iOS device” can be made to work without side loading (steve can already download his own free copy from the App Store). The FSF seems to argue that this must be possible to be compliant, so yeah, that’s my point.
Skimmed it, but still not convinced. Not seeing any killer features that would motivate me to switch from Pytorch. Maybe some advanced autograd machinery, but that's all provided by Jax, and Jax already has half a dozen of higher level NN frontends. I'm afraid this one is DOA.
I don't see a mention of the spike in accidents directly attributable to DST anywhere in this post on HN. I recently read "Why we sleep"[0] and there's a fascinating section on the spike in accidents following the shift in timings. I can't quite find the exact article but this[1] study showed a 6.3% increase in number of _fatal_ accidents in the 6-day period after DST kicks in compared to (presumably) other days. And this was consistent over a 10-year period!

So... given the pros and cons(especially around health and safety) .. what would be your answer? :)

Cook Ting was cutting up an ox for Lord Wen-hui. At every touch of his hand, every heave of his shoulder, every move of his feet, every thrust of his knee -- zip! zoop! He slithered the knife along with a zing, and all was in perfect rhythm, as though he were performing the dance of the Mulberry Grove or keeping time to the Ching-shou music.

"Ah, this is marvelous!" said Lord Wen-hui. "Imagine skill reaching such heights!"

Cook Ting laid down his knife and replied, "What I care about is the Way, which goes beyond skill. When I first began cutting up oxen, all I could see was the ox itself. After three years I no longer saw the whole ox. And now -- now I go at it by spirit and don't look with my eyes. Perception and understanding have come to a stop and spirit moves where it wants. I go along with the natural makeup, strike in the big hollows, guide the knife through the big openings, and following things as they are. So I never touch the smallest ligament or tendon, much less a main joint.

"A good cook changes his knife once a year -- because he cuts. A mediocre cook changes his knife once a month -- because he hacks. I've had this knife of mine for nineteen years and I've cut up thousands of oxen with it, and yet the blade is as good as though it had just come from the grindstone. There are spaces between the joints, and the blade of the knife has really no thickness. If you insert what has no thickness into such spaces, then there's plenty of room -- more than enough for the blade to play about it. That's why after nineteen years the blade of my knife is still as good as when it first came from the grindstone.

"However, whenever I come to a complicated place, I size up the difficulties, tell myself to watch out and be careful, keep my eyes on what I'm doing, work very slowly, and move the knife with the greatest subtlety, until -- flop! the whole thing comes apart like a clod of earth crumbling to the ground. I stand there holding the knife and look all around me, completely satisfied and reluctant to move on, and then I wipe off the knife and put it away."

"Excellent!" said Lord Wen-hui. "I have heard the words of Cook Ting and learned how to care for life!"

But you’ve only got that choice on an ‘old fashioned’ PC. We could reach a point where PC hardware is unavailable, because the majority of people have switched to shiny but terribly-locked-down devices that have far surpassed anything that a ‘legacy open platform’ can do in terms of performance

The definition you've linked does not really contradict my point considering it says that courts typically do not find monopoly power below 50% market share.
As a developer and iOS user, I strongly disagree with this. Due to these restriction, iOS devices are toys to me, not tools to use for work.

Yes, there's a lot of crap on the Play Store, but there's also a lot stuff that I don't like about Android that makes me not want to use it, much less gladly.

There is a lot of prohibitions in the iOS guidelines that serve no purpose but Apple's business interest, such as running a "platform" app that has other apps embedded. Of course, if you're WeChat, you get to ignore that rule.

To pass off all this as "security" or "curation" is just dishonest. There's a lot of crap on the App Store too, but that crap can't be as malicious because iOS has a better sandbox, not because Apple does the literally impossible task of scanning for hidden malicious behavior in its review process.

Of course users are not complaining about having no access to apps that were never developed in the first place, because 80% of the revenue is on iOS and going Android-only makes little sense.
Well, that's if you ignore Hyperloop, The Boring Company, Tesla auto-pilot - many failed experiments as well, or over-promising and under-delivering.

Can you shift to neutral while full acceleration in a manual transmission?
It's a pure theoretical question and these are the conditions:

1. car is at the highest torque while accelerating (5000rpm gasoline or 3500rpm diesel)
2. car is in 2nd gear (still has force to accelerate the car, fast)
3. no clutch to be used

Does the manual transmission permit to pull the lever out of gear in these conditions? If yes, why?
Eh, you're probably exaggerating. There's definitely a bunch of single people in the same position, and also a bunch of people stuck in dead-end relationships itching to get out. We will find a way to adapt. If anything, it's a business opportunity.
I never understood how it came to be that the two biggest economic blocks with a ton of business between them didn’t manage to align on this. Thank you for finally giving me the context.
Fuel taxes don't cover pollution related costs; they certainly don't additionally also cover road costs and indirect costs to the neighborhood. Infrastructure is funded as an investment for similarly indirect gains.

Comparing physical construction and maintenance costs to fuel taxes is excluding 99% of the costs and benefits; it's misleading comparison.

Does conventional wisdom really say specifically that? Because the first I heard back in the day was that constructing 3D matrix from axis+angle solves it.

I think the conventional wisdom is don't use euler angles, not that you must use quaternions

Which bit of "This makes volatile objects suitable for communication with a signal handler, but not with another thread of execution" is unclear?

In fact, Standards notwithstanding, real compilers routinely optimize away volatile operations if they deduce nothing can see the object -- e.g., it is on the stack, and its address has not been taken. And they will happily re-order reads from and stores to other objects around a volatile operation. Furthermore, caches don't know squat about volatile, so they will eagerly re-order the volatile ops, besides.

Let's take this for a spin. Even if you cross post, then if someone tries to read it on medium first and encounters paywall, closes it, then finds your article on your blog and consciously or subconsciously this reader would already have a negative emotions about it and could easily loose patience before reading your whole post.
