> The fact that iOS users are willing to pay seems irrelevant to me.

The main point is not that Apple is a monopoly on the smartphone market, the issue is the monopoly Apple has on distributing apps for the iOS platform.

When building an app access to all users is key to success. Apple artificially limits access to the users of their platform by having you jump through a dozen of hoops and an intransparent review process.

Although iOS only has a market share of around 20% (globally? more in the US), the iOS platform has a large enough audience and market size to be very relevant for investigations.

> It’s almost like calling Tesla a monopoly power in the automotive industry because they have >90% of the luxury EV market

It's really not. I can't think of a general comparison off the top of my head, but lets use Spotify and the Apple dispute as an example.

To keep the Tesla example, the situation would be more comparable if, let's say Volkswagen, would have to sell their EVs through Tesla for the north american market.

The other comment explains that in fact a JPEG is not what's actually used in the Tux ECB demo, yes, it's a specific type of uncompressed bitmap data that was easiest to do the demo on.

However, since you brought it up - JPEG data probably doesn't work how you think it does if you're surprised a JPEG is "still square". In fact if you smash random bits near the start (as would happen if you just tried to feed an AES-ECB encrypted JPEG file through a decoder) it's just not a valid JPEG any more.

But if you were to leave a valid header, the images are damaged in a predictable way because of how JPEG compression works. There aren't "variable size segments" instead JPEG cuts everything into blocks made of 64 pixels (8 by 8) and then it handles each of these blocks separately, in effect the "lossy compression" of JPEG consists of throwing away some of the information within each such block.
I might be too cynical, but it looks like they're adding Zen kernels that perform worse than the Intel ones, so I'm not sure it's better than before.

RTGs are only really useful with particular elements; plutonium is used because it emits a lot of heat for a very long time. People freak out about plutonium.

I think these betavoltaic cells can use elements which are less likely to get people upset about proliferation or environmental effects. It's not the same thing at all, but I think you could compare these favorably with e.g. Americium in common smoke detectors (alpha decay).

Edit: also your comment just said nuclear batteries and voyager, but these batteries are not anything like those batteries and should not be thought of as the same, regardless of politics.

Excellent article.

Yesterday, I read about the role of banks, I found two quotes:

“Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits.” [1]

“Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws.” [2]

It wouldn't have. In case of an all out war each side would send dozens if not hundreds of rockets at each target. US in particular had the problem where each arm of the military(airforce, army, navy and missile command) had their own and completely independent launch plans. So each one would launch their own compliment of nukes at Russian cities. Destruction of your own missiles by the already exploding weapons was actually seen as a significant issue that would lead to loss of many if not majority of weapons. Eric Schlosser's Command and Control is, as always, a great read about this.

As far as I can understand

1. The user had 1,400 BTC in an old wallet using this software

2. An old version of the software was vulnerable to phishing

3. The user attempted to use the software, and was phished

4. Massive payday for the scammers

Really unfortunate - and goes to show with software you manage yourself you need to be diligent about making sure it's updated. For all the shit coinbase gets, it's difficult to lose your coins in this manner.
It's also one of the most impressive technically, up there IMO with the likes of gcc and linux.

The amount of non-trivial tech built into it is staggering, and - most impressive, at least to me - the feature bloat has been really well managed, first from a usability perspective, but more importantly, from a performance perspective: blender remains, for many things, the fastest thing there is out there.

If you want to convince yourself of that fact, try to load a rigged 1M poly scene stored in native blender format, and try to do the same thing with the Mayas and other 3DS maxes of this world.

Scala is eminently beginner friendly when introduced to developers familiar with OOP. This approach was how I first experienced Scala and it ended up becoming a gateway drug into FP proper.

Regarding underscores in Scala, yes there are many technical terms for each thing it has the capability of representing... but in reality, you just use it wherever you want to ignore a value with a placeholder or pass a provided value through.
The owner of the car pays for the insurance, just like they would pay for home insurance, or insurance for their photography gear, or insurance for anything else. They too, should be happy that the probability that their car has an accident is going to be much lower than the probability that they have an accident as a human.

Aside from U2F, Coinbase offers TOTP and SMS-based 2FA, both of which are vulnerable to phishing. So no, Coinbase is not immune to losing coins in this manner. If Coinbase wanted to prevent being vulnerable to phishing they would i) only allow U2F 2FA, and ii) make U2F mandatory for all accounts.

The goal of the left isn't to divide the population on gender and class, it is to make the already existing divisions apparent as that is a pre-requisite to actually fix them. Which is why leftists would call it ...-consciousness, because the goal is just to make people conscious of the already existing differences and then to heal them.

The basic idea of modern leftism is that strongest, base distinction in society is class, but that there are other existing divisions that need to be bridged before class itself can be fixed.

If it is not readily apparent to you, the US is already divided based on gender, class, and race, and the right party (really both of them) promote policies that would actually increase these gaps. They would ignore them in their rhetoric, but augment them in practice. Whereas the left augments them in their rhetoric, but seeks to minimize them in practice.

It is impossible by design. Adding that 'feature' takes away the core principle of decentralized currency. Allowing government to reverse transactions will also allow them to seize assets. Then it is just a regular currency (for better and worse).
