> They don't upstream everything, while reducing their development costs, that is the point.

_ph_ meant to write "This way, they can at least upstream everything which doesn't fall under these restrictions." (note the deleted comma before "which"), i.e., they can at least upstream something instead of nothing.
This is not a problem of houses built that way since the were built pre-car times to allow max light into apartments. The streets back then were also a social aspect of life where we met people and could interact with each other.

Then came a time we handed over streets to parking spots and some folks driving at 50km/h and faster. Social aspects have been gone.

We should not build our apts for cars and align to them. If cars are loud and noisy and destroy our social life, we should focus on solving the car problem and not trying to build around cars.
I think we should introduce a law that surgeons should stop operating on people with masks on if said person thinks masks don't stop the spread of infected droplets.

After-all there is probably a way to cherry-pick an argument that surgeon without a mask is more accurate therefore safer.

Wearing mask is not a big inconvenience, same as not dropping trash on the street.

What is the process of resume parsing?
Let me disagree. I'm working on a transactional OS [1] with an immutable filesystem, it's primarily a website builder. Every request creates a new snapshot of your website. It's append-only for the duration of the transaction. That's the only way to provide robust rollback and also provides version snapshots for free - but it doesn't mean snapshot's can't later be removed.

My solution was to provide an undo-chain of a fixed given length. Versions older than that simply "fall off the chain" and will be picked up by GC eventually. You can also make snapshots long-lived snapshots if you want.

(Of course removing a snapshot is an append-only operation :P but GC will go after non-referenced snapshots eventually.)

the biggest unknown right now is future of shipping costs - there’s big upward pressure from FedEx and UPS to drive prices up now that they have more leverage and had been inundated with shipments during the height of the lockdown - both have already said they would raise rates for large and bulky shippers for holidays.

it’s pretty apparent that a lot of retailers just hide the cost of shipping in jacked up prices and still claim free shipping. unclear how long that can last before more consumers catch on - I certainly feel like online shopping outside of thing sold and shipped directly from large retailers are highly inflated because of this.
> But Android allows side-loading and hence cannot reject apps. So, consumers can get all the apps they want (insofar as they exist) by buying Android devices.

Someone else already addressed side loading, but notice that this wouldn't be true even if Android had actual competition between stores, because it still wouldn't have every app. For example, if everyone in my family uses iMessage, I can't get it for Android, and not because Google rejected it. If I need an iPhone for iMessage, I'm stuck with Apple's store.

> I guess Apple would argue that their policy to reject apps doesn’t hurt consumers, because, if it did increase prices and/or decrease quality and/or decrease availability of apps on iOS, why do so many consumers still buy iPhones? Maybe because having only one, vetted, store has value to them, too?

Or maybe because of iMessage, or because Apple makes faster processors than Qualcomm, or because they do like Apple's store even if they would prefer to have other stores available too, or because they want iOS over Android, or because an iPhone is a status symbol with signaling value in certain business contexts, or because they originally chose an iPhone before it came out that Apple was making all these capricious app rejections and by then were already locked in to the platform, and so on.

That's the problem. When all your choices are merged into one, you can't say no to something you don't want without also saying no to two other things you actually want, which forces you to say yes to things you want to say no to.

I think you bring up very valid points.

The overall takeaway shouldn't be to have personal instructors in order to learn things effectively and well. I think that will always be the case. The constraint there is mostly with accessibility and availability

What you intend to learn, and whether a self-learned/video watching approach can be effective depends entirely on how to close the feedback loop, and make it accurate. For couples dancing, it's very hard to know when you're doing things right (how is it supposed to feel? What is the correct tension for proper leading? Etc). So, it makes it almost crucial to have some (semi)direct guidance in order to make the practice sessions effective.

However there are many other areas in which it is easier to close this loop, as well as more correctly assess the result. This will of course never be as good as having an expert's guidance, but the cost/benefit in terms of time spent / skill gained is more amenable that it is for dancing.

I'd say (I might be wrong) that this applies somewhat to art, technical skills like math and programming, and other knowledge based domains.

Fields requiring physical accuracy and dexterity is a bit harder. Like music instruments or dancing.
Ask HN: When will I be able to have “duplex” good quality audio over Bluetooth?
In the current year of the lord 2020, I still get horrible playback audio quality when the microphone on my bluetooth headset is active. E.g, listening to music while being in a muted Skype-call or something.

This has been an issue for as long as I have used Bluetooth products.

Will this ever get fixed? What's the problem? Surely there is enough bandwidth over Bluetooth to fit say 128 kbit/s audio in both directions?

Or does it actually work with some devices?

That's easy to turn around on you.

Here's a simple argument: death rates from COVID are about the same as a regular flu season in places that didn't do dumb things like close hospitals and send sick people into care homes. In many places they're around the level of flu.

But flu is always around. If we don't wear masks all the time, then why do we need to wear them now?

There is no logical answer to this except "you should wear masks permanently" which many people will never accept, as the benefits are simply too low to justify the consequent problems.

> if you try to sum up fatality risks of nuclear by referring only Fukushima, and including (in that part of your post) any mention of Chernobyl

Good thing I'm not doing that then! I'm sure what would give you that impression, since I do quite clearly say "Even if you take the higher estimates for the risk of nuclear (the ones that assume it hasn't got safer since Chernobyl)". But in case there's any confusion, whether or not you include Chernobyl doesn't change things that much. The two studies in that link give figures of 0.07 and 0.01 deaths/TWH for nuclear. In comparison, wind is 0.035. Coal is 25.
That whole idea is totally new, untested and probably nonsense given that it appears the virus spreads just fine even when people wear masks (as this study indicates).

Unless you're going to argue that nobody should ever be in a room without permanently wearing and disposing of a constant streams of masks ever again (not gonna happen), you're going to get the virus at some point. Therefore, as hospital overload never happened there's no real point to any of this.
> To put this in perspective, I can see 12k people use uBlock origin and the next most popular addon is NoScript with 3k. This really doesn't affect a lot of people.

Where are you getting these numbers from? Unfortunately it seems that addons.mozilla.org statistics have become private for all add-ons (it used to be the case that add-on authors could decide on making them public or keeping them private), so I can only look at my own current numbers, but something's definitively off there:

Whereas general usage data goes back slightly more than one year, for me the Android data currently only starts in June (!) and with ridiculously low numbers at that (just a handful of users). Since August they have started to pick up a little, but they're still a far cry from what I remember – https://addons.mozilla.org/android/addon/video-background-pl... shows almost 1k Android users at the moment, which is less than the amount of Windows users being reported, even though installing the addon on desktop doesn't even make all that much sense due to desktop Youtube not blocking background playback anyway.
Unfortunately I hadn't looked at that statistics for quite a while so my memory is a bit hazy, but according to the Wayback machine, a year ago that add-on had around 35,000 users, with a very clear majority (that I still remember for sure) of them having been on Android.

Likewise, my memories of uBlock origin's statistics are somewhat fuzzy, but I think it had something on the order of a few 100,000 (maybe 300,000 to 400,000 users?) on Android.
Adblock Plus had a similar amount, which I remember within the context of them having considerably more users on Desktop than uBlock Origin, but a relatively similar amount on Android.

Okay, but how is any of that is relevant to the original point that "you have to make the choice of app store together with the choice of the entire platform including the hardware and operating system".

It seems to me, when you make the choice of what gaming console to buy, you take the entire ecosystem into account. When you make the choice of what phone to buy, you do the same thing. That's not an unreasonable thing to do in either case.

You're framing it as if you had no choice of what phone to buy and now you're somehow stuck with an iPhone with all these restrictions you don't like. But you did have a choice when you made the original purchase!

> Also notice that the cost of a game (typically $50) is a lot closer to the cost of a console (<$500) than the cost of an app (typically $1) is to the cost of the average iPhone ($800).

Again, not sure why this is relevant. The vast majority of apps are free anyway (in which case there is no cost to switch) and other apps may come with you because your account is separate from the app itself (Netflix, etc).

> How is this not like saying that a monopoly on gasoline is fine because you're only being constrained by your "personal preference" to drive a car instead of riding a horse?

A horse is not a "reasonably interchangeable substitute" for a car. An Xbox is a "reasonably interchangeable substitute" for a Playstation.
C# LINQ is basically very roundabout way of doing what SQL was made for. What SQL does, and does really well, is operate on sets of data (aka tables) using set theory. You can get succinct expression with C# and functional languages, but they are not really possible to optimize the same way SQL is because it's not bound by set theory the same way.

As a user of this service:

You built a service, I started to use it, I was happy to pay for it. Now you sold all the data your business had about me and the service, so I need to check the new EULA etc, and need to reevaluate if I want to use this service futher along the way.

Also my experience with apps/services/etc sold by their original creator(s), that they are shuting down in a year or two and I'm so tired of this trend.

So yeah, happy about your success, unhappy about another service which probably goes down the drain and I need to find something else to use, which probably not really has the same featureset.

Edit:

My point is, I would have been using this service and paying for it in the next few years, without the need of new features or so, so you only need to do maintenance of the infrastructure and keeping up with the security updates for mostly passive income. Probably this is the same for other users of the service. I think this should be considered, when you thinking about selling your passive income sideproject.
Mask mandates were mostly introduced after the first wave of deaths. And there's apparently no second wave in most places, even when the tests indicate a second wave of positive RT-PCRs.

So - no. Mask wearers aren't going to experience any difference in death rates in the vast majority of places because COVID deaths have already ended. And of course, when they were occurring, there was a lot of bad reporting there which conflated people who were dying anyway with people unexpectedly killed by the virus.

An alternate explanation for the prevalence of plea bargains is that many defendants are actually guilty of something, that guilt is likely enough provable to not be worth the risk, and we’ve allowed sentencing guidelines and charge-stacking practices to amplify that risk to the point where it’s game theoretic sensible to take a light plea deal. I’m not nearly convinced that public defender assumption of guilt is a significant driving factor.

I'd like to make it go away, but as a simple k-> v store it's decent enough. Web SQL provided relational data and aggregation, something that's sorely lacking from IndexedDB (and the libraries that build on top of it, poorly replicating SQL in the browser).

The amount of client side code one has to write to replicate simple SQL group by/sum operations is mind numbingly bad -- not to mention performance hit vs. SQLite's blazing native C performance (and it shipped with the browser to boot, no separate download of some lousy bloated 3rd party JS library).

Same could be said for software developers.

While I am aware of the audience here, I'm not trolling. There is a remarkable similarity between the "helplessness/vulnerability", for lack of a better term, of clients using a lawyer and the helplessness/vulnerability of users in using software authored by someone else (not to mention clients who hire software developers to write software for them). In each case, the client/user is required to trust the lawyer/developer.

One key difference is an issue sometimes discussed on HN:- there's no licensing requirement for developers. Lawyers have to be licensed, and the licensing requirements include ethical obligations, violations of which can result in losing one's license. While this system in practice may have some shortcomings, software developers do not have anything equivalent. There are states in the US where lawyers are disbarred every month, but I am not aware of any software developer who has been banned by a regulatory body from writing software for use by others.

Both lawyers and developers are probably subject to negative stigmas as as a result of the "bad apples". Not all are unethical.
