I emailed some reporters a while ago. Found articles about similar apps and then got their emails. I didn’t email them anything pre-made. I don’t think reputable tech blogs would want pre-made posts but I could be wrong.
> Would you accept a house that only allowed furniture, food, books, electronics, devices from the company that built the house? Do you think it should be legal for a company to make a house with those conditions?

Would I personally buy one? No. That doesn't mean it should be illegal to offer such a bundle. You can simply choose not to buy it.

And guess what? According to current US law, as long as those limitations are disclosed to the buyer at the time of purchase, it is in fact, not illegal to offer such a bundle.
Agreed. As someone that have used an alarm clock ever in my life, I can most relate to folks that want the day to be with natural light.

And now that I have kids convincing them that it is bed time when the sun is out, is not easy. My sympathies to folks way way off the equator.
Good to know, thanks. Fidelity is actually my example #1. I've been told multiple times on the phone it can't be changed from $500, but that was years ago. Will try again.

Back to the topic, we're up to $3-4k now which is more than I thought, but still not enough to pull off this $12k scam.
A thing that I found missing is that legacy systems' influence is much larger than only the systems it directly touches.

Through particular requirements that some of these systems have they might shape policy too!

I primarily deal in security assessments of networks. Guess what happens to your password strength requirements if somewhere deep down in a dark and old server room there is a mainframe that can only handle 8 character lowercase passwords? Assume that this system has been the backbone of your, then hyper-modern, completely integrated IAM system for decades?

...

That's right, security policy mandates 'simple' 8 character passwords... Not ideal.
This article is good as long as you realize that it is a very company-centric description, as you would expect from a VC.

Criticisms of IPOs on HN fall into two buckets, first whether the companies are giving up too much equity and second whether access to IPOs is fair and serves the public interest. This article mostly addresses the former, and really only briefly touches on the latter.
This is really why the law should come down like a ton of bricks on Apple. They aren't just bleeding everyone dry, they're also trying to prevent people from realizing Apple is doing it.
I'd have to disagree, whenever I install new pip/conda packages, an MKL version is downloaded by default (I've never seen any *BLAS version by default in my life).
Stage 3 colon cancer at age 39. Incredibly bad luck. For those that don’t know, in the US at least, they don’t recommend you even start screening for it until 50. It’s traditionally an old man disease, but can strike anytime.

Since the credits can run for 5 minutes or more these days, those can be optimized by converting to a font rather than a bitmap of the screen. Transmit the font, then transmit the text. Should be able to get gigantic compression this way!
Thanks; I either missed the discussion or forgot about it.

Interesting that the forwarding is claimed to be done under speculation. I wonder if it is really necessary. Also, is it value speculation or does it checks the state of the cacheline?

I don't have a TV, so if I watch Netflix it's in a browser.

Most people don't realize this but you can only watch Netflix in 4K in a browser if you're using Microsoft Edge on Windows or Safari in macOS 11. In fact, you can only get 1080p if you're running Chrome in Chrome OS, or IE, or Safari. All other browsers, including Chrome and FF on macOS, Linux, and Windows, are stuck at 720p.

Their blog post[0] from 2017 sounded hopeful for higher resolution video on Linux - they wrote "We... look forward to high-resolution video being available on more platforms soon" almost immediately after announcing FF on Linux was supported - but in hindsight it's clear that what they really meant was what you point out - support for things like Apple TV, Xbox, and TV Smart Apps.

Yep. I think PR can be effective but you really need to pay a lot for it. At the higher rates, PR people have connections they can leverage.

> most terrestrial animals uses legs and not wheels for a reason (and it's not because it's not evolutionarily possible).

Actually, I suggest its for exactly that reason.

Rotary motion is sufficiently more efficient that if there was a way to evolve it, it probably would have.

Rotary motion has lots of difficult issues: how do you power it, how do you communicate with it, how do you lock it in place, how do you reverse it?

None of these are problems for stabilized linear actuators (aka muscles).
Call me entitled, but Why not just get up with the sun and go to bed with the sun. If the time of year makes "8" on a ticking device too early, maybe wake up a 8:22? Core hours make sense for businesses, but at the fringes we should just let it float.
History is interesting here.

Capitalism, according to Wealth of Nations, has some problems with corporations becoming monopolies. When Teddy Roosevelt was sidelined into the Vice President position, it was partly to sideline the movement towards regulation and trust-busting. That period, due an assassination, broke up large companies.

We now have Apple, and a host of other players, using monopoly powers to extract value from any who would play. Epic may have done that math and found the tax was too high to be profitable, or that upsetting the monopoly was worthwhile. History may turn again, and monopolies may face more scrutiny.

The uncertainty of changes are one of the joys of a government system that is organized mob rule.
We have cli based games, an internal irc, federated mail, etc. It's a fun community.
I'm not sure why we're all policing someone else's definition of worry here. My experience growing up in a rural area around people who are just content to be content leads me to take the OP at their word.
agree on mobas (I was one of the devs on dotabuff for a year and think LoL ... has many opportunities for improvement) but ... try Valorant, it's imho much, much more interesting than cs:go or overwatch. It's a brilliant game.
Ask HN: What is the oldest code in production that you still use?
I defined "oldest" as code which hasn't been updated/maintained since.
On the flip side, the fact that no one has successfully sued manufacturers of inkjet printers, coffee makers, cars, vacuum cleaners, and laptops over this issue should give you some clues as to how likely it is for Epic to win their case.
How can you tell from a binary what compile was used to produce it?

Imagine now the same but without HTML/CSS/JS - using a native 2D and 3D rendering, with acceleration. That would be blazingly fast.
I was trying to figure this out before. As I understand it from other discussions (someone please correct me if I'm wrong), the majority of developers bundle Epic's engine with their game, so it is delivered with the game in the app store. Those would not be harmed by and Epic entity being terminated by Apple, EXCEPT that it would hurt Epic's ability to develop new versions and support the already existing Unity engine and their customers. Because this court case might drag on for months but much more likely years, the court didn't think it was ok to allow Apple to terminate the dev account for the part of Epic that makes the engine, Epic International. This news is specifically about Epic Games, the company that makes Epic games, not the engine.
There are plenty of jobs with poor working conditions where you don't get to build rockets, cars or BCIs. Not that it makes it ok, but it appears plenty of people are consciously making that tradeoff.
There won't be a jury trial. It will be decided in Apple's favor on summary judgement.
> that "Apple is playing right into his hands". For this to work, everything happens to be obvious to everyone except Apple and the court who are somehow inexplicable naifs.

For Apple, the stage is set, and they are merely players; they have no choice at this point but to act the way they are because if they don't they lose the consistency argument. So while they may see through the strategy, they're also bound by it, because they have to enforce their terms -- lest other developers get "uppity" and think they can do this too.

They also want to demonstrate what it takes to fight them, the amount of money that will be lost, because that too will have a chilling effect.

Honestly the only way this works out for anyone is if Epic wins a slam dunk because otherwise Apple elegantly demonstrates that their control can never be broken. I think it's possible they win some concessions; the slam dunk though... much less likely.
There’s a huge difference. The government has to let you speak. The corresponding duty on your part is that you won’t do harm (eg., shouting Fire, etC.)

That right, and duty, does not exist on a private platform that you don’t own. You are limited by the TOS and license that you, like most, willfully skip over. A private, non-government platform can tell you to STFU and Get Out and they don’t even need a reason, because it’s their platform.

You can easily set up your own free speech platform, but nobody is required to listen. That’s the main attraction of social media, a more-or-less guaranteed audience. At least until someone tells you to GTFO if you’re not hosting.
Exactly. I actually do not believe FB on this.
It’s probably the most challenging but also most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.
Buy new headset vs install other free software.
It's been like this since the beginning. Only now has Epic Games (along with slight pressure from the antitrust hearings) created the perfect PR storm to get the spotlight on Apple's practices.
Not that I agree with Apple, just feels like a weak PR campaign.
I am aware of that, however it is much easier to win an antitrust case against a company that has 95% market share.

> The jurisprudence on this actually starts at 40%.

Can you provide more background on this?
He doesn't literally mean country clubs. He is saying that the fed's current policies allow rich corporations (controlled by rich people) to get loans at very low interest rates.
I’m wondering if the point is to get politicians attention with this, since it coincided with the antitrust hearings on Capitol Hill. If they could get some lawmakers on their side, regardless of what the courts decide, the law could be modified to give Epic a more favorable position in all this.
Was there any mention of glial scarring anywhere?
That's great to the extent it works—but a lot of institutions are tied to specific hours far more than physical times of day. School is going to start at 7:30; 9–5 jobs will be 9–5; lunch is at 12. When we transition between standard and DST, the numbers stay the same and the physical times during the day move. And there's enough fixed-time institutional pressure that other things have to evolve around that too; even if you want your fitness class to be during the same time of day rather than the same hour, it'll have to shift along with people's work and school routines anyway.

So if you wanted to push these hour-bound institutions one direction or another, how would you do it?
Oregon and Washington have passed bills to just that, but both bills require all 3 states in time zone to do it, so waiting on CA.
These types of restrictions are all over the place, and I'm not sure if they're good or bad. TVs and audio-listening-devices come built-in with dmca protection, meaning you can't watch pirated footage or listen to pirated music even though you own the device. Is that good? Is that bad?

I travel all over the country. And I'm from a highly conservative area in Florida. Trump has 95% support in the Republican party. He's got tremendous support and enthusiasm.

Trump isn't racist at all. He was friends with Michael Jackson, Jesse Jackson, Whitney Houston, etc. He actively tried to help Whitney from overdosing (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/mike-love-to-t...). He calls as many victim's family members as he can, regardless of race. He calls every fallen soldier's family, regardless of their race or creed. He just pardoned a black woman who was put away for a non violent drug crime in the 90s. He signed criminal justice reform established opportunity zones in poor neighborhoods to encourage business investment. He supports school choice to help poor communities who are stuck with broken schools. He's got 11 members of his cabinet who are Jewish (Mnuchin, Friedman, etc).

He is pulling the troops out of Afghanistan: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/26/politics/us-troops-afghanista...

There are more black Republicans running for office in 2020 than in 100 years. Trump has endorsed most of them, if not all of them.

Your tired talking points are just a symptom of a coordinated hit job and misinformation campaign.
Not killing gstreamer way back when would've helped.
Now that everyone has smart phones and phone lifetimes seem to be growing not shrinking (good job Apple) the only way for them to grow their revenue is raising the price of phones (which they've slowed down on) or "services" which are essentially milking everyone using their platform.
Agreed. With the very little context from the source article (admittedly), it feels like piling on to the whole Epic controversy.
The Simpsons game regularly downloads game updates, and much to my chagrin because the updates are gigantic.

This is extremely common in games, less so in productivity apps.
What doesn't bend must break. App stores and other walled gardens seem imposing and dominating until they aren't.

Remember the original ideal of the HotJava browser, where fully sandboxed applications could be published online?

JS has come a long way in fulfilling that vision. PWAs are trustless and require no approval from appstores. Of course they aren't as efficient as native applications, but performance is improving.
As somebody said, if a old and renowned scientist says something is possible, he's most likely right; if he says something is impossible, he has a very serious chance of being wrong.
Keeping at least one hobby from being infested with identity politics seems like a good thing.
I am a developer and I really can't understand the arguments against Apple.

And I have many apps on iOS store, and sure I would love to pay a less cut.

But Apple's pricing policy was the same way before they had 50% share of phones. Sure a monopoly must be regulated, but it doesn't mean that if a company has >50% share you can dictate how they should price their product.

Monopolies should be regulated so they don't increase prices or take advantage of their position. And if the policy is 10 years old this is obviously has nothing to do with bad practices of monopoly.
I do R&D for government. A significant portion of what my group develops is required to conform to or to mimic business processes that emerged, practically accidentally, 50+ years ago.

Ask HN: Do you ask what does not work? What are the weak points?
Everyone is almost always very excited to tell with a luxury of details how good their things are and what they have accomplished, which is good, but there's very few that talk about the weak spots, the things that doesn't work "yet" or could be improved. (ranges from job interviews, open source software, to production changes, you name it)

making daylight saving time permanent is effectively the same thing as making standard time permanent.

Which, if you're going to do, you might as well make standard time the standard. Because it's the standard.
The same thing happened to fantasy. How do you think Tolkien would feel if he saw his life’s work get turned into D&D? At the same time, I love D&D and Lord of the Rings and I wouldn’t be too upset if Tolkien was annoyed about it or if he thought it was stupid and derivative.

This is really about genre fiction as a whole and its never-ending struggle for legitimacy in the eyes of literary fiction readers. It’s all tied up in fashion and classism though, to be frank.
In android's case, it's a lot simpler. Epic wants to partner with manufacturers who can preinstall epic's store, which google currently forbids.

Yes exactly! He prefaced his presentation by saying the purpose of it is to attract the more talent. That’s the right move but by definition it will be very promotional in order to convey a vision for engineering things that are physically possible but face significant engineering hurdles.

Wouldn't the announcement "we are hereby canceling DST forever, everyone adjust your schedules accordingly" be the best possible impetus for all these institutions to do the shift? Perhaps they could even perform their final switch on the same day—perhaps the day that the next DST period would have begun.
