Here is one way to clear localStorage without using Javacript, Add-Ons or Extensions:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cl...

This response header can be added with a localhost-bound proxy server like, e.g., haproxy:

http-response add-header Clear-Site-Data *

Of course, the simplest solution is to just turn off JS before visiting medium; that should prevent any use of localStorage. I have never needed JS to read medium; it's just text. Text-only browser like links works fine.
How can Apple know the total Fortnite revenue? Is this public knowledge?
> Either Apple will still need to review these, have IPAs notarized, or have contracts in place with each app store developer to ensure the same app review quality. I don't see epic accepting any of these scenarios without a fight.

As Windows shows us, none of these need to be true.

The Dark Core of Personality (2018)
In your scenario, there's malware in a non-apple app store. So what? It rightfully gets a bad reputation, people presumably avoid it, etc. Those who are more risk averse choose only to use the Apple app store. I'm not seeing the issue here?

If Apple want's to ensure that the platform itself is as secure as possible, that involves patching the underlying vulnerabilities. The presence of a third party app store doesn't affect that one way or the other.
Holy bananas the astroturfing in this thread wow...
Why buy a device known for the creation of a walled garden as one of its defining personas? I didn’t buy into the iOS ecosystem for flexibility of App Stores. I bought like many others because it allows for an ease of use free of tinkering. They have a huge competitor whose differentiator is literally what people are requesting. Why don’t the consumers which need more freedom support the companies who actually want to service that demand?
So because the market is being abused by a duopoly rather than a monopoly that makes it ok?

Red: Improving Audio Quality with Redundancy
Well, the alternative we all face is ceding control to many various hidden, anonymous, and often malicious actors. Thereis a lot at risk: your privacy, avoidance of falsified information, your possessions. I am all for closing that off.
Funny cause both stores (App and Play) are always promoting games to me. Usually crap like Fortnite which stinks on any mobile device. Yes devs have to pay for those promos but just like in Steam, Retail and all the console markets you pay for marketing.
Tesla has reported profit the last four quarters: https://fortune.com/2020/07/22/tesla-earnings-q2-2020-profit.... Are you saying their quarterly earnings reports are fraudulent?
There were thousands of similar predictions when mobile phones were created.

Literally, when any new technology created, people started predicting dooms.
And the App Store does not one lick of good to help the User get any better about not falling prey to Malware.

Instead, the App Store is another layer of control through which overall control over competition can be exercised.

A completely valid model that allows all comers, bit weeds out Malware, is to loudly announce what something is actually doing.

Hey! Your Bluetooth is hyper-promiscuous! Hey! Your baseband processor is shoving stuff down the pipe! Hey! Your note taking App is trying to access your contacts, Photos, Mic, and files!

If you do not create a way for your User's to grok what the thing they are using is actually doing, then you're not ultimately out to empower them. You're out to empower you.
now it is getting interesting

I like the debt metaphor, especially because of 1) interest, which costs more the more debt there is and the longer you carry it, and 2) the fact that sometimes it's smarter to borrow than to be debt free.
The only digital device that allows you to run anything you want on it is a pc.

Consoles? Only allows you to run code they allow, since forever.

CD/DVD Players? Only runs the code which gets flashed during manufacturing.

TVs? Can’t run your own code.

The list goes on, Apple was actually the first company which made a marketplace on a non PC device which had a overly cheap way to get your software on it and they even made it super easy and cheap for developers to get updates for their code on it, that was during a time where consoles where limited to physical media to ship your code to customers.
Microsoft made you pay 5 digits or something similar outraging to release updates on Xbox once they had a digital store on it.

Is Apples model outdated by now? Maybe. Should a court force them to practically change their model to the one of their competition? Well, why should anyone buy their stuff then anymore? It would practically made their brand worthless to me, they’d just become another pc shop, the last time they tried that it nearly made them bankrupt.

That time made Apple what it is today, it’s in their DNA. They’ll fight anyone which tries to change that.
I’m not really aware of any console manufacturer other than Nintendo that spends as much effort trying to prevent me from doing that.

Generally I don’t want to do it with my console either, as I explicitly buy it to play games. The same thing is not true for my phone, which is very much a general purpose device.
Sad to see how apple drones agree with this. It is fair for a hosting company to require a per download fee, but it has nothing to do with ingame purchases.
No, it works exactly as it was designed. Health insurance keep s costing more, cover less and not care about helping people in the time of need. That is not an accident. It is a result of concentrated effort of lawyers, lobbyists, salesmen, etc... - a whole system that maximizes profits and market share at all costs, and not the quality, breadth and affordability of healthcare. It is like that by design. So the results are logical - we pay more and get less. And will continue paying more and getting even less. There will be a point in future when this approach will "meet its maker", the hope is that will happen sooner rather than later.
So whats going on here. Apple wasn't happy with one of the apps from Epic games (Fortnite), so pulled the other apps that were compliant?

Is that what happened. That leaves quite a bad taste in my mouth. Apple removed apps that were following the rules to try and enforce their rules on one that wasn't.
Okay it's not the only reason, but certainly one of primary ones. All proprietary software developers had issue with GCC long before switch to GPLv3. GNU declined all attempts to make compiler IR accessible for 3rd-party software which would make proprietary extensions possible. And yeah it's the reason why LLVM take that niche.

Also GPLv3 was officially announced in 2005. It's was just matter of time before all GNU projects switch to new license version. And it was certainly.

https://www.zdnet.com/article/gpl-3-may-tackle-web-loophole/

Oh and there was plans to release GPLv3 even earlier in 2004 and it's was known that it's will include patents grant. This was obviously absolutely unacceptable for Apple:

It’s not easy to distinguish between legal and illegal tying, but that doesn’t mean that disclosure to the buyer is an adequate defence. More commonly, the seller would argue that they lack the market power of which tying is said to be an abuse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tying_(commerce)
The answer is in the article (whether it’s right or wrong I’m not opining):

Does a speed test report that you have severe Bufferbloat issues? I don’t experience this issue with Netflix on 50 down 5 up Comcast at 50/5 but I do at 150/15, unless I install a shaper (eg. IQrouter, Eero SQM). I ask because if you have too high latency, such as the 1200ms I’ve seen on Comcast with bufferbloat due to upstream overcommit, Netflix might detect that as a loss of bandwidth.
For me the big issue with DST is the stress to the organism it's causing at every transition from winter to summer time. So I was wondering instead of picking between Winter and Summer time, can't we make the transition less stresfull? I.e. instead of shifting the time by 1 hour twice a year, shift it by 15 minutes 8 times in a year? Maybe this way the organism won't feel it so much?
I'm curious if you can make a recommendation for a good image viewer/organizer app. That's the main thing I was hoping for when I saw your Acorn recommendation.
App Store takes the same 30% as Xbox, Sony, Switch, Target, Walmart, Walgreen, etc...
Purchase a console game at Walmart? Walmart takes their cut after the console creator took their cut. In fact if you think your game is gonna sell like crazy that you press (DVD/BluRay) 1 million copies, you are in debt to the Console manufacturer for their 30%.
What your thought process should be if your an Apple employee trying to maximize his value: If the megacorps are equally sized and competing against each other, your dependence on one employer will go down.
Now how do you get your tax back from the IRS?
Companies can't track costs that stem from systemic inefficiencies.

Say your programmers still use CVS for version control and you want to convince management to switch to Git. The CVS server doesn't cost much, a git server wouldn't cost much either. There would be a large cost for changing all your tooling and processes that rely on the CVS model and in training your programmers to use the new system. Why would you do that? How do you quantify the benefits of atomic commits or simple branching?

It's not exactly that hard to imagine. I've thought about a solution like this for 2 separate products across 2 different companies, and it was separately rejected for ethics concerns both times. You'd be surprised what company decided to reject it in the first case. This is an abuse of web APIs to achieve targeted data monitoring of users and probably a severe violation of GDPR.

Any European residents want to confirm this is happening with them?
I'm sympathizing with you (well maybe, don't know exactly what you are making :-), but not really with Epic. Don't really think they are in it for good reasons.
Yep, and in my experience the older people definitely lean towards the "law and order" and "follow the rules" side of things, which is very disappointing from a "hacker" sort of "question authority" ethos. You'd think the Venn diagram between trendy maker spaces with 18–40 year olds and amateur radio groups would be close to a circle, but there's hardly any overlap at all.

With the improvements and rising affordability of cellular networks, satellites, wifi, IoT protocols, etc. — not to mention to overall transition from analog to digital — will amateur radio even stay relevant?

Unless you are Epic of course :)
But having competitors/alternatives does typically help to bring the price down and improve the customer experience. Another store may take only a 5% cut, so apps can be offered cheaper.

You can argue that for subscription based services of IP content like netflix this doesn't really apply since you'll now need multiple subscriptions. But a big reason these subscriptions have to keep their prices low is because of the free competitor called pirate bay. If it wasn't for the alternative of pirating, we might not ever have gotten Netflix.
OK, so my question is what's wrong with breaking a rotation into left and right isoclinic parts? These parts commute, so this shouldn't gimbal lock.

Also, the article didn't mention this exact method. It's unclear what he's referring to.
I'd bet that some of the systems that were 20 years old in 1992 are still running.
Thank you for repeating me again. Though it's not even what I want then. I think the only time I've wanted volatile as is currently specified was around setjmp/longjmp -- and I think I'd prefer that setjmp/longjmp were specified in a less error prone way.

No, you are totally right. I never said it was rational :) My guess is the disease is playing up again now due to the stress he’s under.

Yeah, I happen to agree with that, which might be what makes me so uncomfortable with him leaving.

He might not have been great, but things have unarguably been stable.
The lawsuit doesn’t have to succeed in court for Epic to succeed. If the case generates enough publicity but ultimately fails, they may be able to lobby Congress for a new law akin to the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act [1]. Then, instead of precedent they might have statutory protection for what they want to do.

On the contrary, that level of political simplification is needed now more than ever. It didn't get more complex. It simply got noisier. The signal is lost, and people are flooded with information constantly - there is simply no way to verify truth. No one has the time to fact check the 100 tweets they saw today, or the 20 posts they saw on reddit, or the 30 pictures they saw on instagram.

My grandfather would watch italian news on RAI TV. The news there had an anchor. The show started with the anchor reading headlines. Then they went into each headline with more detail. Very limited ads. Straight, to the point. We need more of that.
Ditto for Linux and Android. I'm sure I could find a sketchy closed source kernel module somewhere out there that's actually malware. That's not a problem in practice though because I'd have to leave the confines of the official repositories for my OS and intentionally seek it out.

(I suppose NPM could be an interesting point of discussion here though.)

There's a difference between being a good business person (Elon is exceptional at marketing and execution) and a genius scientist / engineer. Elon has tried to market himself as the latter, and has a following online (mostly male and interested in tech) that believes it.

There hasn't been a groundbreaking paper, a patent or some other innovation that Elon personally contributed to that I'm aware of.
This is exactly the problem - no one has time to do this, nor do they want to.
Great article and was interesting to hear the different steps taken and the associated success and failures. In particular, it seems that the most success of the product could be attributed to the competitor closing.

I wonder how the increased price impacted existing customers, especially when the price doubled at the end of the article? Were users notified of the change with the option to cancel? It seemed that a portion cancelled given the revenue: $750/month at $12 per user vs $1000 at $24 per user.

It would also be interesting to know how many new customers were there after the price change?

Did existing users have to agree to a new ToC when you made the price change or was this automatic, i.e. $24 taken out of their account the next month without their permission? What's the standard practice for this?
It is not that we have a short space of time, but that we waste much of it. Life is long enough, and it has been given in sufficiently generous measure to allow the accomplishment of the very greatest things if the whole of it is well invested.

But when it is squandered in luxury and carelessness, when it is devoted to no good end, forced at last by the ultimate necessity we perceive that it has passed away before we were aware that it was passing. So it is—the life we receive is not short, but we make it so, nor do we have any lack of it, but are wasteful of it.

Just as great and princely wealth is scattered in a moment when it comes into the hands of a bad owner, while wealth however limited, if it is entrusted to a good guardian, increases by use, so our life is amply long for him who orders it properly.

A whole lot of words about how I’m a “moron” without refuting anything in the argument! A very typical stance to take from the progressive left. You clearly feel that you are morally superior to me!

Once again, I will state loudly and clearly - I view all people as what they are: people. You are not a series of identities to me. All people have their own agency and cannot be reduced to a set of labels.
Most iPhone purchases in usa today are not based on careful evaluation and comparison with other phones. Otherwise us iPhone sales would be in line with the rest of the world, who were introduced to smartphones with other devices.

I did something similar over the past four months, going from 1100s to 1680s on lichess.

At this level, you just have to find one tactic your opponent doesn't spot and you'll win the game if you have decent endgame skills.

I never spent much time learning openings but many people at this stage do. They'll learn certain traps to spring in the opening. But with careful play and some practice you'll be able to remember enough good openings to get into the middle game without much of a disadvantage.

Learning common mating patterns is very useful. In several games, I have been able to win with significant material loss because I could set up a mating net my opponent didn't foresee.

Lastly, it may help to know certain basic principles - control the centre, secure your king, don't isolate your pawns etc. But if you are an absolute beginner, it can be premature and you may start following these principles rigidly which will be detrimental to your game.
Wouldn’t you agree that it’s really valuable to know if people actually read the article, how far and which parts?

Nintendo tends not to sell their consoles at a loss. People criticize them for using older hardware but they make a profit on every unit sold plus their first party titles drive the console sales to a large degree.

If Microsoft and Sony could no longer take a cut of all software sales like Apple does, they’d simply be forced to adapt their business model, perhaps to something similar to Nintendo’s. Gamers would either have to pay full price for modern hardware (less volume discounts) or otherwise settle for older parts. Microsoft and Sony would have to focus a lot more on bringing top developers in-house with exclusive publishing contracts. Life would go on.

I personally think these society-wide policies should reflect the realities of the population. Which often means reviewing them every once in a while to see if it still makes sense.

Far too much gov policy is fire-and-forget and obsessed with forever adding new things.
