So there should be a law that says any computing device must be free to load any software? So PS4 must play XBox games? Printers must accept any ink cartridge? Apple Watch should allow any android app? What’s the distinction? (I’m not trying to be obtuse). I buy iPhone specifically for the walled garden. I don’t want to have to worry about malware etc like I do on my PCs/MacBook.

And again—-going back to the Walmart/Target analogy, if you wanted to enter into a business deal with a third party in a Walmart, Walmart would demand a cut too.
Personally I'm sure this article is an utter bullshit and doesn't deserve any attention whatsoever, but, accidentally I think I can answer your last question. At least if your definition of "ancient greeks" includes Homer, reading Odyssey would leave no doubt that the correct definition for them would be "an excess of prudence" which is, staggeringly, perceived as a very noble trait.
Like those companies at the edge of bankruptcy like Bang & Olufsen, Ferrari, Bentley, Lotus,.... with their shrinking target market, oh wait.

I believe that entitlement, narcissism, selfish behaviours are 'conveyed' just as much as anything else.

I had a roommate in college, who would brag that his father, owner of several cab badges, would beat the smack out of drivers he thought was ripping him off. This is a perspective said roommate will probably carry on.
I agree with you. It's super low, but I and others will just ignore it in the future and ultimately they lose.

However, bug bounties are not a job. Nobody is forced or obligated to do anything. I'm giving them 'a pass' in the future :) It's great people are discussing this and surely it will improve things for future researchers.

I consider bug bounties like competitions. The 'prize money' is defined beforehand. You don't have to compete if you don't want it. You can also compete for the 'notoriety'. Knowing the stakes, do you complain after getting 'first place'?

Everything you own or do is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it, everything else is just speculation.

Yes, that's how it is. And you are the proof of it.
It's all just conventions anyway. Why does it matter if solar noon doesn't match with wallclock noon? The perception of the solar time varies wildly with season, latitude and even weather (how 6pm feels like nighttime in January but the end of the afternoon in July for instance). Sundials are not exactly in widespread uses these days.

There's also plenty of precedent for countries and blocks of countries using "unnatural" time zones for convenience. Warsaw is currently in the same timezone as Berlin, Paris, and Madrid. I mean look at this map, many countries are already offset by one hour from their natural time zone, DST or not: http://www.trbimg.com/img-56c3a997/turbine/la-fi-mh-your-tim...

That's true for a big chunk of the USA too.

I'm also in favor of keeping DST full time, I think it's the pragmatic choice. That being said it's been pointed out to me that part of the reason I like DST is because I don't have kids since when you have children going to school you typically need to get up earlier to prepare them and bring them there. Having DST year-round would mean that it would probably still be night time when the kids arrive to school.
There’s no magic in a huge chain. If locations don’t make money, they close them. Space tends to go to places with a profitable use.
And in iOS perspective that's jailbreak. You can have not-supported ecosystem and it's completely legal.

You probably don't know this, but current car manufacturers can stop car from starting if
a) maintenance isn't done in a way it should be (see AdBlue)
b) maintenance is done with non-original parts

Sure - b) is the premium and luxury segment, but you don't see people raging about this. Because - as with smartphone - it's a choice that they made. iPhone isn't a necessity. It's a choice. If you don't like it you can choose one of many other mobile systems or opt for a dumb phone.
They rewrote most of their stack when they switched from .Net Framework to cross-platform .Net Core. There's a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth in enterprises that invested heavily into deprecated technologies, but the new Core platform is very good for modern webdev.

At this point it's mostly about (cost) efficiency, like how many EC2 instances you will need to cover your workload with a service implemented in a particular framework. It also assumes that developers can pick any of them with the same amount of effort, which is probably a proper assumption for a benchmark that measures performance.

The Oxford/AstraZeneca Vaccination uses HEK-293 cells, a strain originally derived from human kidney cells grown in an aborted fetus.

So how about we skip the low brow attacks on "Conspiracy theories" and talk about the multitude of reasons it's unlikely Covid-19 vaccines will hit herd immunity.

Like, a massive part of the world can't afford vaccines, and we haven't helped them in full in the past so the claim we will now is a bit of a joke.
I added -pipeline but I guess -with-batch is more explicit. I'll change it then. But anyway the techempower team will eventually add a special tag for batching. There is actually a version of lithium not using batching, check for 'lithium-postgres' in the benchmark tabs other than 'composite score'

Other big optimizations are
- non blocking communications between the database and the framework
- non blocking communication between the http client and the framework

This is for C++, for other slower interpreted languages: calling C bindings is a big optimization aswell (and this is how some php frameworks get good performances for example).
Huh, interesting. I recently made a morning and evening routine. I think it made me happier: I sleep better, I get more stuff done, am less stressed.

But the days feel shorter. So, this seems like maybe at least a couple days in the week should be “random days”.

I don't know why it says it has a touch screen, but it doesn't have one. The price premium over the 45% NTSC/250 nit version ("Standard") reflects the better light and color, not a touch screen.

The performance is good. I threw 6 Wavetable instances at it in Ableton Live before I admitted defeat. AMD set a new standard with the 2020 mobile chips. The only downside is I haven't had a matte screen in ages and forgot you can see the matte diffuser if you really look for it. But every single color except #FFFFFF is brilliant, and even that is fine. Off-center viewing angles can be a little funky even with the privacy screen off, but it's fine once you get used to it.

we can both complain about the final outcome and disagree on how we got here. I think it's a stretch to call healthcare an efficient market. There are huge upfront and switching costs for almost every component making it rife with opportunities (intentional) and mistakes (mistakes) that erode efficiency. I also feel you conflate what markets can do with what their intent is. You seem to imply that markets have no role in a huge swath of our economy and lives, yet I look at my medical experiences in Canada (almost 100% public) and wonder if many people actually know how it works and what the outcomes look like. In a nutshell it's both harder to die and harder to get better under our system, and I think markets could help with the later without hurting the former.
I don’t disagree that the transition part is the worst, but more people are supporting standard time because it fits better with the schedule of most people.

I used to be on the DST camp, but a few years with a family and house of my own, and suddenly ST makes more sense. Then playing the game of placing oneself into somebody else’s shoes, and I realized that only young adults in rich countries really benefit from DST.
This sounds interesting, but not convinced since we could say that fairness mainly exists in the circumstances and rarely in the courts. At some point there is an upper limit to the relevant information available for any decision.

We could test this, I mean, suppose the invoices or even the details at the checkout broke down the total into developer’s fee, apple’s fee, government tax, and so everyone could see that, would that be sufficient to fix the problem? I suspect not, because Epic, in this story, are seeking to pay Apple less, and give themselves more - that’s really their bottom line.

Are they really going to all this trouble on my behalf?
Got it. So it's not so much implementing known-good session management as it is implementing session management edge cases that allow for improved usability without significant compromises in security.

Is that a fair summary?

It's too much a jack of all trades but master of none. For fast transport to a location near customers, jets are faster and can go landinwards much better. For cargo where speed does not really matter, it is much less fuel efficient than cargo ships.

In the end this is really a competition question and whether or not Apple has engaged in anti-competitive behaviour.

3 years? Medium was founded in 2012.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_(website)
I have a different opinion

Online stores profit from the difference between buying at volumes and selling at a higher price.

They don't charge over the market price, they buy at a discount

Apple doesn't buy anything, doesn't have a warehouse, doesn't allow publishers to discuss the terms of the agreement, they take the same fee from everyone, in this regards it is very similar to a flat tax

Apple store is more similar to a market place, a mall in the physical world, in a mall businesses rent the space

They pay in proportion on how much space they rent and the quality of the space they rent

Apple (unfairly IMO) charges the same amount for everyone, even though some apps are promoted by the store and the vast majority of them is practically undiscoverable unless you already know what to look for.

If Apple was a store it would be a store that only place orders on your behalf, just because it's the only store in town and charges a fee on every order, even if they don't do much

If you had the phone number of the supplier you could place the order yourself, but Apple prohibits customers to even ask for it and if publishers try to contact customers directly, they sue them

In this imaginary town people supporting the Apple business say to people sick and tired of their way of doing it "change town"

drugs are very expensive everywhere it's possible, and implicitly expensive drugs are not available where they're unaffordable (and hence no market at the high price). This leads to bigger group buying programs and a focus on generics, but has the unfortunate effect of shifting the focus of drug companies to very high price, small-market specialty drugs and lifestyle & vanity drugs that a broad, public healthcare system would never cover.
Exactly what I was thinking. For libs like MKL it should even be feasible to have a database of known binary releases with a patch offset so you can speed up your scientific application using a little patch tool. But even for executables my guess is that it should be relatively easy to programmatically find the relevant check and patch it, unless Intel starts to deliberately obfuscate it, like copy protection checks in games.
I am the US Northeast and the proposal is to move to join the Atlantic standard time and not have DST. Season-wise and Lifestyle-wise, a study concluded that this would be a better fit than the current condition. I’d personally love that.
This list looks cool! For some reason HN is too much focused on software and usually there isn't much of anything hardware.

I also enjoy making robots just for the fun of it. Here are some examples from my side:

- Bebe: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bViFrTQ-DQ0
Bebe is my lovechild. He fulfills my paternal instincts and the best part of the day is when he runs at me affectionately with all his 28 legs. Unfortunately, Bebe is a naughty boi and he broke half of his legs when he fell from a beer pong table. He can't run nowadays.

- micro InvaderBot: www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3a9dcDeQbc
micro InvaderBot is the smaller version of InvaderBot. Not much of it is known, but it is believed that it has escaped from Dvergar facilities during Robot Uprising.

robotuprising.fi This is a story based hackathon that we used to organize annually. I don't know how it will go this year due to coronavirus, but we keep the fingers crossed :)
The article addresses this. Unfortunately the "teachers" were being paid mostly just to be strong opponents for the "students". So AI ruins their market.

From the article: "the Go school recruits a professional player, who would agree to play a fixed number of games, like five games, one per week, at a certain price.... Of course there is still room for lower level classes and teaching, but pros are often better at playing teaching games than explaining easy concepts."
That's definitely possible (it probably checks that the manufacturer ID is GenuineIntel), but nobody wants to distribute patched MKL versions, because it most likely violates the MKL license.

It may even be easier to replace the function altogether with LD_PRELOAD.
> And I wonder why. Fast, efficient transport sounds perfect for today.

That they're mostly sea-bound makes them rather inconvenient and inflexible, and they're not actually fast compared to other planes. And while they're very fast compared to ships, they're then significantly less efficient or capable (capacity-wise). So their niche is rather limited.

> How close to the ground does it need to fly?

About half the wingspan for maximum effect. There is reduced effect up to about the wingspan. Beyond that you're pretty much outside of ground effect.

It also has all the usual issues of seaplanes, except more so: it's very hard to take-off with any sort of waves, and in high winds the plane must take off into the wind, meaning it hits every wave straight on, which is both uncomfortable for the passengers and stressful for the structure.
Twenty-somethings often think that friends are more important than family, and friendship groups will last forever. They’re not.
I think it’s a matter of features and performance. The poster says he can use gcc but the performance is 2.5x slower.
Yes, that's the best explanation in the end I think. Maybe I'm too used to reuse variables and that's a bad habit I should work on. For example most of my counters are called i.

That's a good point. Though this service admits that it doesn't know the actual episode boundaries used in the original publications, so it's just chunking the books into chapters which might not necessarily fall on cliffhanger boundaries.
That's how we got the open version of MS Word. For small values of 'open', because 'do it like Word '95 did it' is not a very good way of describing a standard.

Yes, I had to check they were not still doing this. I don’t believe they are allowed to charge a higher fee on iOS, or is there some loophole?

Customers ought to know, but whether companies are compelled to tell them is problematic - just see the prices of fuel or snacks at motorway service stations - which reflect a local monopoly, not the true cost. Ultimately, it seems the answer over time is that nobody is forced to buy Spotify or a WHSmith sandwich. The music you can go and buy in the shops, or from Amazon, Googly, Tidal, Bandcamp. Spotify is like WHSmith at a service station and wants to use the local monopoly as an excuse to put up their prices and push the cost onto the consumer rather than factoring it into their business.
How much cost efficiency is there? I’ve worked at multiple of the top 100 websites in the U.S., and none of them had more than a dozen web servers. For any website, 90% of traffic is logged out and probably doesn’t even hit the web servers.

And web servers are generally the least expensive component of hosting costs.
If we take Epic at their word, a better deal?
I can't tell either, but I feel like I constantly see this type of message. Which is basically anti-capitalist, while using the economic freedom capitalism provides to create a "new" economic system.

At least in this case, they still provide for a voluntary collective of shared capital. If only our current system had a way to do that, hmmm...
Straw man. Surely care facilities deserve extra attention. But the average shop?

Its the 'one size fits all' that's the entire issue.
> I'm still slowly rewriting it. It requires nightly Rust, and unfortunately doesn't compile with the latest nightly. And it doesn't currently build from HEAD. But it's been a fun hobby project.

I hear this story a lot about Rust, and it makes me wary of the language. Code that's written needs to keep working. What made you decide to use nightly in the first place?
> In that interpretation, the authors point is even less valid.

The author's point is quite valid. #000 is a bit harsh and should be used sparingly.

> In that case he just advocates substituting a dark color by a less dark one, wrecking contrast and thereby acccessability.

That's pretty dramatic... just by swapping out black for a dark color you wreck contrast? No, that's wrong.

Check out the WCAG guidelines. Recommended contrast ratios for body text are 3:1 (minimum), 4.5:1 (level AA), or 7:1 (level AAA). The linked article uses #113654 on #FFFFFF, which has a contrast ratio of 12.5:1, which meets the highest level of the accessibility guidelines for body text contrast.

Meanwhile HN has text #828282 on #F6F6EF with a 3.54:1 contrast ratio. Barely meets minimum contrast guidelines for people with good eyesight. HN even features some #AFAFAF text, with a barely-readable 2.02:1 contrast ratio.
I see, I'll update my comment.
For Rust vs c++:
- I never used rust but I like the language and the safety it provides.

- a mainstream package/dependency manager is missing in C++ so rust is clearly better on this point. This is a big problem for the C++ community where code is much less shared than in the javascript community for example.
- The other big problem I have with C++ is compile time, I heard that Rust is slow too but I never compared the two.

And what robotics stuff have you worked on?

I'm building a offline programming tool for industrial robots: http://stara-robotics.com/
I'm reminded of the novel The Golden Globe, by john varley. In that novel very powerful AI handle most day to day operations of society, and it is mentioned by one of them that - technologically speaking - they could create the single most despotic and privacy-eliminating regime in human history. A place where even an individual's thoughts and emotions are no longer secret, let alone snooping on every word they ever speak. The AI then says it could do this, but it will not, and has intentionally blinded itself to all such data streams. The central intelligence refuses to examine the incoming data as it believes doing so would violate its subjects human rights. In-novel this is why the AI doesn't just tell our protagonist where the big bad is, but I've found it an interesting possible trajectory for the future. Where every word we say is monitored, but it is strictly illegal to view said monitoring.

I wonder if that is the most realistic version of a future were we still have private lives.
Yes, with ACA the government basically made it so health insurance premiums are a tax, and young people subsidize old people by capping old people’s premiums as a multiple of young people.

Of course, pricing will vary by zip code because healthcare providers cost different amounts in different places, so a rural area might be more expensive where there are fewer doctors who have more negotiating power versus in urban areas where there are more doctors competing.
Employer driven health insurance was pushed for by unions back in the 70s IIRC. That is how we ended up with this setup becoming normal.
2 things I can think of right off the bat are that changing schedules can be done per-person, per-industry, etc. and doesn't have to be forced upon everyone whether it's good for them or not. Another reason is the technical difficulties of readjusting all time keep devices, scheduled software, etc. is a nightmare that should be avoided if you can. It's hard not to see that adjusting individual schedules is the easier and more effective implementation.
