Yeah... I'd definitely remove logstash from that pipeline for that reason.
I’m quoting from *your source”. How would Microsoft not lose share if they weren’t on mobile? We have a control group - the US. Where there was no browser choice forced on Microsoft, they lost share faster and where Google was more popular.
Yeah, I'll try and track down the "to provide medical assistance" bit. Though that thread does show the rest:

What I don't get is: they pushed a noncompliant Fortnite update, and Apple took it down. So aren't they, in fact, not currently in violation? Since Fortnite is not on the store?

Is it not a valid response to Apple finding a violation to just say: "OK, then we just won't try to put it back up"?
TikTok is able to spy on users that download and use their app. On Android you have all sorts of malware that will be impossible to get rid off without doing a factory reset. Apple would risk the same malware issues that Windows/Android face today if they were forced to allow third-party app installations.

I’ve personally had to help fix malware infected Android phones, but I’ve never had to do the same with iPhones.
I can say quite confidently that micro transactions ruined sim city build it. They slathered the game with a massive amount of grind, it really only has a minor thematic similarity to the rest of the franchise.
Our built environment has been designed for the human form, so a general purpose robot will necessarily be humanoid. Essentially we would leverage the existing interface between humans and structures/machines - instead of having to create a new interface for robots to interact with their environment.

The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics strikes again. OP tried to help and didn't actually make things worse, but they touched the situation so now it's their fault.
But why could you not just keep using the AppStore and nothing else? Out of the things you've listed the only one who would actually consider leaving the AppStore would be Epic.

> Microsoft got hit for antitrust because of bundled software.

Not quite. Microsoft's antitrust violations involved coercing other companies to bundle IE with their products. In particular:

1. They forced OEMs to ship IE instead of Netscape as a condition of obtaining Windows OEM licenses.

2. They made deals with ISPs to ship IE instead of Netscape (for example on AOL CDs).

3. They threatened to pull Office for Mac if Apple shipped Netscape with Mac OS instead of IE.

The question of whether the sole act of bundling IE with Windows would have been itself an antitrust violation was never decided by the appeals court. It was remanded back to the district court for additional proceedings which never happened as the lawsuit was eventually settled.
> On June 30, 2020, Epic emailed Apple requesting to offer a competing Epic Games Store
app through the App Store that would allow iOS device users to install apps from Epic directly,
rather than through the App Store and to offer payment processing options within Epic’s apps other
than IAP.

> On July 10, Apple responded that “Apple has never allowed this . . . we strongly believe these rules are vital to the health of the Apple platform and carry
enormous benefits for both consumers and developers.”

> Around 2am on August 13, Mr. Sweeney of Epic wrote to Apple stating its intent to breach Epic’s agreements:
“Epic will no longer adhere to Apple’s payment processing restrictions.” Hours later, Epic activated a secretly planted payment mechanism in Fortnite to slide a non-approved change into the app that blatantly evaded App Review.

How DeFi reinvented the Fair Launch – or did it?
I'd think so. CRTs could never match the resolution or size what with we see in LCDs today.
We need to stop introducing artificial racist/sexist affirmative action policies and instead stick to including people based on merit. The injection of this ideology everywhere is pernicious, unnecessary, and discriminatory.
I've never used Unity, but Unreal Engine is heavily tied into the Visual Studio (proper, not Code) workflow, including the Microsoft C++ Compiler toolchain and all 30GB+ of it's friends.

I'd suspect the same from Unity.
The problem I have isn't that Google bans these apps.

The problem is the fact that Google banning these apps borders on state censorship because of the monopolistic position Google has.

Busting up Google solves the correct problem.
You can think of probabilistic tree search as creativity and the neural network as intuition. Like, what are you doing when you think of a cool new idea? You think of a lot of ideas and narrow them down slowly until you reach a cool new one. It’s not magic.

- Cellular data works most of the time

- Has the Signal app

> Instead you have sideload... the Epic Games Store!

There are many levels to compete with Apple on, since they have decided to entrench themselves on every level. Epic is not competing with Apple on an Apple basis, where Apple doesn't want to allow a specific type of app (e.g. a browser with a different engine), they are competing with the App Store (which is how Apple ensures their App level advantage, and that you can't ship your own browser engine).

> It seems awfully clear that Epic's real goal here is to force both Apple and Google to let you install the Epic Games Store from the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store.

Whether from those stores or not, they want it to have a level playing field on the device. Apple doesn't allow that through not allowing the store on the device at all. Google restricts it by pushing a lot of the phone functionality through the Play store now.

Amazon has a store for Android too. Interesting how Google split a bunch of essential services away from the OS and into the Play services which are updated and handled through the Play store when that happened.

It makes perfect sense for Epic to go after both Google and Apple. Both restrict alternative marketplaces on their devices through anti-competitive behavior, even if their methods are entirely different.
“This is not fair to all other developers on the App Store and is putting customers in the middle of their fight.”
Ah yes, like it was so fair that every other big company got special deals and “reader app” exceptions and so on.
Nice.
It concerns me that the company taking down the apps also owns my entire mobile OS from browser to network stack, as well as the DNS resolver, the search engine, and the email client I use.
I see no reason to believe that. What is an example where videos on social media contradict the news reporters? It does seem likely though that these videos on social media are showing media are showing one perspective that easily misleads people who then don't receive the context of the situation or view sfrom other angles that news media provides far better.

I agree, but I think the downvoting provides all of the corrective feedback your target audience needs to learn this.
I have an uncommon last name, and picked an uncommon handle, so most of my accounts never get misaddressed e-mails.

But when I was younger and more foolish, I opened a mail account with a flippant phrase as the handle, and apparently somebody used that phrase as a "fake" e-mail address when signing up for the Trump campaign mailing list.

One thing I'm learning from that deluge of e-mails is that, no matter how little I think of GOP voters, I cannot manage to treat them with the utter contempt that the presidential family is treating them with.
Apple are mandating the use of their Apple ID and Apple Payment System (aka products). The first might have a security rational, the second does not, yet devs must pay Apple's fees even if they are higher than alternatives[, a defacto price raise].

It used to be possible to get payments on iOS going without using Apple's payments, before Apple set their eyes upon that market.
> In the US, you're already covered if you're low income, through Medicaid and ACA subsidies, that's part of where the current taxes go

Talking to low income folks, it's not the same as in other countries. They still have financial stress because of medical concerns.

Medicaid experience differs greatly depending on the state you're in. And how it compares with people who have the means to buy insurance also varies quite a bit.
> Yes, but the only reason they get to adjudicate it in tax payer funded courts is precisely _because_ the decision will have a major impact on consumers and developers as as whole.

That's not right. Civil tort suits are for any citizens to seek justice for themselves.

But Android exists, and has multiple noteworthy alternative app stores (including, relevant here, the Epic Games App) and this has not come to pass; every mass-market app is on the Google Play Store, excepting now Fortnite.

Epic previously tried to build out a Fortnite playerbase on Android outside of the Play Store and was unsuccessful in drawing in players, so they had to upload it to the Play Store (which has now been removed).
If you are interested in valuations, /r/securityanalysis might be good subreddit. There are lot of different niche subreddits covering different aspects of stock market so look around.
Epic could have taken the matter directly to the courts and taken action (whatever it was) after a verdict.

No, I don't believe they could. The courts in common law jurisdictions generally don't rule on speculative harm, they require an active controversy to rule on.

The DLC model seems to work. Similar to micro transactions, but none of the pay to win, gambling, and grind bypassing nonsense.
I hope Rust / Objective-C interop gets some more love soon. There are a number of pain points, including inconsistent wrapping styles (the "cocoa" crate implements things like NSView as traits on id), autorelease pools always being a pain, and a fair amount of bloat from the msg_send! macro (a lot of which is boilerplate error handling).

Not exactly obj-C, but there are also problems two inconsistent ways of wrapping other macOS types: some (like the Metal crate) use foreign_types, while others use the TCFType mechanism. Among other things, these have two different meanings for "Ref" types, which can be very confusing.

So it's possible to get stuff done, but it doesn't feel nice. By contrast, the Rust/Windows world pretty well organized, with Peter Atashian's winapi providing a solid foundation, the wio crate being a good way to get ComPtr and other utilities, and Microsoft's com-rs coming soon as a standard way to do Rust-side implementation of COM interfaces.
> Well duh, this is a show match court fight of Epic Games not liking the rules and not getting the special treatment they want.

I don't think they want special treatment. I think they want the rules to change.
> What MSFT did would be equivalent to Apple forcing everyone to use its apps and not allow any competing apps.

Did I read this right? My understanding was that Microsoft was penalized for bundling Windows with IE. Windows never forbade users from installing other web browsers.

Apple situation today would be more like if Windows did not allow users to install word processors other than Office, didn't allow browsers other than IE, etc.
Because then you can't make any sort of public facing site with UGC without being burdened with the responsibility of what's being posted. Come to think of it, the distinction is entirely arbitrary. Run a bulletin board that sorts by last reply? You are responsible for the user content. Run a mailing list that forwards every message to the end user, and the end-user implements the same sort by default? You're off the hook, even though the end result is the same.
That's true, but you can also lose your house for completely unrelated debts in the UK (i.e., you could pay your mortgage but if you have a different, unrelated loan that you default on then that creditor could have a court sign off on seizing your house).
I guess this is what happens when everything is left up to the individual and the market. In general, either these companies lower prices for all their customers or maintain the same prices with fewer customers. Apparently the latter is better for them and they have no interest in going into lending. Maybe unemployment insurance could have helped but, judging by the article, a lot of these people may not have been able to afford that even if it was widely available.
Short answer: bandwidth. Longer answer, a set of questions:

* Do most teachers and/or students have sufficient upload capacity to send n-1 copies of their video stream in an n-person chat? (A 20-person chat might be typical for a K12 classroom.)

* Is it possible to do multicast across the Internet?

I assert the answer to both questions is "no", so all the video streams need to go through a server/reflector. You're suggesting that self-hosting; a follow-up question:

* Does your average school district have the bandwidth for simultaneous duplex video streams for every student and teacher?

* Would they be able to acquire this bandwidth quickly?

Also no.

I've never used jitsi and don't know if there are other problems, but this one's a dealbreaker anyway.
>I really think that all of this DeFi stuff is playing with fire. If these tools scale large enough, it's easy to imagine breaking the right link in the system at the right time to cause catastrophic failures.

Substitute "software" for DeFi. Every single day we're playing with fire through low quality code and bad security practices. DeFi just exposes the real financial costs and consequences of terrible software development. How many countless dollars and hours and data have been lost through bad code?
Play Music recently got merged into Youtube Music (formerly Youtube Red).

They kept all the features of Play, like uploading your own library, so honestly the least bad Google product death I've seen so far.

I see this sentiment a lot, but nobody ever says what it will do a better job of: Innovation? Meeting customers’ needs? Or just providing a minimum marketable product while maximising returns for shareholders?
If by trading you mean people trading these tokens on exchanges, they almost certainly don't give a crap about whether or not something is a scam and are not looking for scams. They simply look for the required correlation, volatility, etc.

Compared to stonks, crypto exchanges have APIs that you can use to access them directly without a broker and lower and simpler fees (i.e. no minimum fees per trade, so you can easily make a bot and test it with low amounts and whatnot). Some jurisdictions don't tax crypto trading profits or have a lower rate.
Neuralink is a very interesting effort, but with brain-computer interfaces there is an elephant in the room that seems to be brushed off or overlooked all the time: the security of computers that get connected to your brain. You don't want something so vital to be vulnerable to buffer overflows and speculative execution attacks. I wonder if this is ever going to be addressed seriously.
I’m sure that’s what happened; eg I’m sure it was an acqui-hire and Akamai didn’t give a hoot about the krypton software
From a licensing perspective, yes. However I looked into installing custom modules in Elasticache Redis once and you cannot do it (Same with RedisLabs' hosted solution although you can at least install their modules).

If you installed Redis on an EC2 instance manually you could run the modules.
Google is also being sued for not going far enough in allowing Epic to do what they want to do. I think that is the proof positive that Epic doesn't just want additional app stores and sideloading, but that they want concessions that will enable Epic to be successful in forcing users onto their own store.
Signal is an app for sending text messages and Apple doesn't allow it to send SMS text messages. Example of why this is a security vulnerability rather than a security feature: Someone with an iPhone uses Signal to communicate with someone with an Android phone but they still have to use iMessage for SMS with others. Then they accidentally send a message to the other person using iMessage instead of Signal and it goes out unencrypted.

The "Chrome" in Apple's store is just a skin over Safari. It doesn't actually exist there, only something different with the same name.
Presumably, after it also cleans itself, yeah. Humans do it all the time.
i think the main reason, as a follow up of your opinion is that Tesla is a technology company first and automaker second. This gives a huge potential to sell services that are unique/very specific that are tremendously expensive. Im talking about Cells/Battery technology, AI, Autonomous driving, Infotainment devices, Internet of things, Chargers etc... etc...

I think at this point the only Automaker that can follow up Tesla could be Toyota or VW.
Thank you so much for posting this link. I already knew he’d written Mono, the open-source implementation of .Net, but am now in awe at seeing his many other accomplishments, such as starting the GNOME project and making major contributions to initial RAID and Sparc support in Linux.

Apple have been exceedingly clear about their App Store policies for a long time. And they’re not so out of step with Google, Sony and Microsoft stores. What true nature is being revealed?
Meanwhile, League of Legends has been the most watched game on Twitch consistently for years, only rivaled by the some-odd temporary new release and Fortnite.

Their argument is closer to "30 percent cuts are bad" and they are not hypocrites there. Probably something about monocultures too.
> You don’t think it’s a security issue for apps to be able to intercept your text messages

Apps, like Signal, that you have given permission to intercept your text messages? Why would that be a security issue? You gave them permission to do it because that's what you wanted.

> Of course the OS vendor is going to have privileged access.

Also known as "private APIs" etc.

> Do you also want third parties to be able to reprogram the Secure Enclave?

Why would that be unreasonable, if done at the request of the device owner?
> Which powerful, privileged people should get to decide what we are allowed to hear about?

Journalists and news media, bound by the respect and principles of their profession, fulfilled this function in the past. There seemed to be a time in the past where division between reporting and editorials were more separate. We've destroyed the institution of news media without a good replacement; now people are taking editorials (people's social media posts) as the equivalent of news.

> Is it even necessary for free speech to directly result in a happier humanity?

If not then what is it worth?

I'm simply not seeing how social media after a good 10 years of it is progressing anything other than the profits of its owners.

Other than the signal app, it does all of what you ask. It does NOT do MMS (nor does the Pinephone, there is no software support on any of them).

> PoW energy use scales superlinearly.

Citation needed? I don't believe this is true. And techniques like payment channels allow you to stretch a significant amount of mileage out of a single transaction. The Sia network for example has payment channels that have over a million payments made per on-chain transaction.
And yet it hasn’t happened! So I think that means there are fundamental reasons why it’s difficult for evolutionary processes.
Two week’s ago’s The Verge coverture was pretty thorough and interesting.

Also Epic’s filled surprisingly readable lawsuits, covering your points and more.

> from that suit

Google’s lawsuit is a different one, with specific arguments. It includes for instance Google blocking makers from directly pre-installing Fortnite on devices, which would be bypassing the Store altogether.

> Epic Game Store

Not related to the lawsuits, but an issue with straight side-loading was how to auto-update the game itself (not just the content). For that you need a mechanism, I’d expect the Epic Store to be it.
This seems a little cliche. Personally I find the brilliant white beacons people have in their mouth in the states a little unsettling. Teeth aren’t naturally a beaming snow white - they’re bone coloured.
