If I'm quadriplegic, I'd prefer my brain tissues scarred after 1-3 years and then new implant installed in a different spot rather than being a vegetable during that time.

(And when we have these implants helping paralized people for 10 years, we will think of something. We don't need to solve all problems at once.)
Time pressure was the main reason.

We also couldn’t have been sure that a method that could recover $10 would be able to recover $12,000. Bots won’t bother to snipe opportunities that are too small (they have to put a little money at risk to even try).

Finally, there was a nagging worry that demonstrating this kind of transaction for the bots could “teach” them to look for this opportunity, which could lead them to this money even before we tried to pick it up (since they could scan the blockchain for it). I had heard that these bots sometimes used recent transactions as “hints” to look for new profit opportunities. It sounded like a wild idea, but all of this was pretty wild.
But this it just a temporary restraining order, right? Not final yet? Epic's future on apple ecosystem is not clear yet.
I've wondered if at some point it would be feasible to add a second, sunrise based time system (SBT) for use within time zones in addition to the standard zone based time (ZBT).

You'd use ZBT for things that need to by synced or coordinated across time zones, and SBT for things like school hours, work hours for businesses that only have to deal with things within the time zone, store hours, local concerts and shows and games, and similar.

The key feature of SBT is that sunrise would occur at a fixed time, say 06:00, every day. Yes, this means that on an SBT clock, noon would not necessarily correspond to the point of highest sun, and even more radically the interval from 06:00 one day to 06:00 would not necessarily be exactly 24 hours.

This is essentially a continuous form of DST. In many places this would actually give you more sunlight after work than the current DST system does, and has no disruptive transitions. Another advantage is that it would let more people go on schedules that let them wake up naturally from sunrise instead of having to use an alarm.

It would be computationally more complex than what clocks currently do, but we are at the point where it is cheap and easy to include sufficient computing power in clocks to handle it.

Apple is following their own rules and giving discounts or exceptions would potentially open up more legal issues.
> The harsher that Apple retaliates, the better Epic's court case. Apple is playing right into his hands.

Courts almost never evaluate specific cases based on broader patterns of behaviour... they are always narrowly focused on specific issues.

This might help in the media/social media debate, but I doubt it helps much in court. The bigger piece Epic bites off the harder their battle will be.

Gates was some kind of computer whiz kid in his early days, and who did write a lot of code. I noticed you picked certain later products, I guess he wasn't a involved in those? Jobs obviously wasn't the technical mind in his ventures. We can give these people credit for achievements as entrepreneurs without getting caught up in mis-attrtibuting credit for technical skill.
PWA are super broken on iOs because Apple want you to publish a webview in their appstore, so they don't care about maintaining the PWA APIs.

While we have the gamedevs here, and we're talking about game design, I would very much love and appreciate if you could upload a picture of your bookshelf and share it here.

I'm almost done with the Coursera CalArts game design specialisation, and they have cited a few resources, but I want to know what the industry recommend amongst themselves.

(That said, I've found the peer assessments on Coursera utterly lacking, some of the videos hard to understand and badly captioned, and will be starting a master's in game design in September...)
Indeed. Have used GoodRx since inception, plus Canada-UK. Costco is best, especially when you get your MD to prescribe 365 pills. Then come the supermarkets. Rarely CVS or Walgreens.

Going on 8 years, I realized insurancee pharma was a total scam. With United Healthcare, I paid less in cash than their OptumRX bullshit benefit.

I keep a spreadsheet of drug quotes and purchases.

Finally beware of Walmart. Every indication is that they have a team to game GoodRx. Satisfaction less than 50% of the time. I once contacted David Hirsch via LinkedIn and got an immediate reply.
Putting to one side the issue of how content producers might feel about a world in which Netflix was the only game in town, I think fragmentation is a much smaller problem for app stores. Consumers need to launch a streaming app whenever they want to watch TV, but they only need to launch the app store infrequently to install new apps. I don’t mind having to think about which app store to use a few times a year.
Not necessarily - ideally if you don’t want to live in that kind of a house then someone will want your business and cater to you.
I stayed with Bitcoin not because I don't see how cool Ethereum contracts are, but because it's all about getting at least 1 thing right, which is digital scarce money. Even that itself is an incredibly hard problem. Getting smart contracts to be secure will take much more time, so I'm staying an outside observer.

Now that you can play Fortnight on iOS and on the console is it fair that Apple can force Epic to a sell vbucks through its App Store because the game exists on iOS?

I'm stepping out on a limb and saying Apple is going to end up settling with Epic so they don't have to host competing App Stores.
> They have a huge competitor whose differentiator is literally what people are requesting.

Except that said competitor is actively hostile to your privacy. The device market is also incredibly confusing to navigate - many competing independent companies, unreliable security updates depending on said manufacturer, and a wide hardware performance range.

And regardless, all of this is entirely irrelevant from the perspective of a company that wishes to run their own marketplace spanning every significant platform out there.

Suppose your employer is less than ideal but you’re not particularly confident in your ability to get another job should you be laid off. A lot of people feel trapped in this situation every day.

Not everyone has the skills and experience to be in demand. A lot of people feel their current job is the only thing standing between them and the food stamp line. These people should not have to worry about getting sick and losing everything after losing their job.
You can't even run a hello world app on iOS device without signing it with a developer account, and the restraining order that blocks apple from terminating epic international's developer account is just temporary. There is still chance that epic will lose developer account needed for developing unreal engine. You can run unsigned code on iOS simulator, but the simulator lacks many api and can't replace running on real devices (unlike Android emulator that can emulate almost everything a real device does).

If you're waking up before sunrise, it's going to feel about the same no matter when sunrise is.

And you'll have sun at lunch time except in extreme cases.

So when days are short, mid-morning and afternoon are where the difference is really made. And I'd much rather have sunlight when I go home than have more mid-morning already-at-work/school sunlight.
The escrow company is supposed to be more reputable than the owner. They also handle this type of transaction, and know how to get it done properly, how to check the seller actually owns the house etc.
This is standard pharmacy behavior. Has nothing to do with GoodRx, which is an advertiser. Pharmacies determine all prices. Different pharmacies have different loss leaders each month. You go to the GoodRx “best” price pharmacy with your bottle. That pharmacist will take care of the transfer, using the RX# and possibly calling the Dr. I will always do the legwork, to me it is a “dollar vote.”
Well the whole thing is not only a moral panic but a clumsily pushed one that moronically invokes rape for tasteless art by invoking it for what is at best essentially an intellectual property issue.

What if Apple/Google is forced to distribute the alternative stores via the app store/play store?

This article is great. It’s not sensationalist like other articles of this ilk. It doesn’t have these unmentioned or glossed over factors like having an existing audience like you mention. And it has a level of tactical detail that I think others lack. It’s honest and shows perhaps a more realistic / representative sample of what it’s like to actually be a indiehacker.

Learn Data Structure and Algorithm in JavaScript – Part 15
Ah, I did miss that point, and that does slightly raise the value of data from areas like that.

I still think there's a wealth of useful data of the same type that can be found at timezone borders. Many will have the transitions as a slight confounding factor, but it doesn't completely invalidate the applicability of the data.

Comparing no-transition borders with transition borders might also yield some interesting findings.
I spent some time looking at the geometric 'proof' in the photo. Was still wondering why this method would have any advantage over our conventional way of multiplying numbers because squaring would need multiplication too. Then I realized that with a table of squares one could do the calculation quite easily. To calculate the product of any 2 numbers from 1 to 100 one would need the squares of the numbers from 1 to 200. Armed with this one can calculate the product of any two numbers from 1 to 100 (there are 10'000 such combinations) with the formula. Sweet!
The downside is not for folks like us on here that can make decisions about what is good and what is bad. Apple has invested heavily in creating an experience where the common person with no mental model of how this stuff is relatively safe.

The downside is Mom somehow installs said store, and said store distributes a poker game that does something malicious. Mom blames her iPhone as that's all she knows. She doesn't separate hardware from operating system and apps like we do.
I guess that’s the answer. Nothing more complicated than that.

The work day is a barrier to most people’s ability to do things earlier or later during the week. The reason daylight savings exists is so that we collectively agree to start the work day earlier, so that we collectively can enjoy longer evenings in the summer. If daylight saving time doesn’t exist, the default workday still starts at 9am and in North America the sun rises at 5 am on the solstice, with twilight from 4am to 5am. The sun is up for a couple hours before most people even wake up. If daylight saving time doesn’t exist then the sun sets in the summer at 7:30... if I work 9-5 and commute, that doesn’t leave a lot to time to enjoy the sun after work.

I used to think I didn’t want daylight savings time until I looked at the sunrise & sunset chart and saw what happens when it’s not there. I realized I like what happens in the summer relative to my work day. This site’s sunrise & sunset charts are amazing, btw: https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/san-francisco?month=6&ye...
I’ve seen ca. 6-month price changes, and a complete reordering of the price ranking among pharmacies. Just go to the new pharmacy and have them transfer the Rx.
I'd genuinely rather have more options to choose from, and benefit from the competition, than to have only one choice from a company that bans things like GPL apps from their App Store, which is what Apple does.

However, that doesn't mean that that's how the market will pan out with healthy competition. For all we know an app store that really meets its users' needs will win out and have the majority of the market.
> Look at other markets

Other markets are very price sensitive, there is no new iPhone choice below $100. Where people do have a choice, point stands, many choose iPhone and pay premium.

UK 45%, Australia 40%, Germany 30%.

> any (western?) city where 7am is noise go-time, regardless of real life statistics and local cultural differences?

This is an interesting comment to me. San Francisco is really, really loud -- the biggest offender, when I was there, was near-daily sirens from (I believe) fire trucks.

But this is not a necessary aspect of living in a city. I often did wake up early in Shanghai, but that was because the sun came up at 4 am. Noise wasn't much of an issue during the ambiguous times. (Before firecrackers/fireworks were outlawed, they were common, but they were more of an afternoon thing.)
This is exactly how I feel about this. I hope this will help the people who are in need but I really don't think we'll know when to stop.
I don't like the idea of this implant to be necessary to compete in the future. Granted it is still far in the future, but it is still kinda frightening knowing just like AI this could go out of our hands anytime.

> Why would you ever want to ignore Google in this situation? Unless you don't want to earnestly debate the real topic?

Because presumably Google isn't special and doesn't lave laws and ethics that apply only to them? I'm trying to distill the issue to its essence.

> The fact people keep resorting to these reductionist analogies, ignoring critical context and arguing from positions of fundamentally different levels of power/responsibility, in order to push some pro-censorship and expansive moderation of speech, shows the weakness in these arguments.

If you think I'm doing that then you're making a lot of assumptions about what I was trying to communicate and why I commented, and you're way off base.

I'll make it clear, just because I pointed out a fault I see in a position doesn't mean I subscribe to the traditionally opposed opinion, it just means I'm willing to point out faults as I see them.

Additionally, hypocrisy doesn't care how correct one argument is over another. It's entirely possibly for someone to be a hypocrite and correct. We have a situation where some people believe A is okay and B is not, and some people believe A is not okay but B is okay. Unless they can actually distinguish why A and B are different, both groups of people are hypocrites, because they're either regurgitating someone else's opinion, or they're speaking before they understand what they're talking about. Whether one side or the other is "right" doesn't matter, hypocrisy isn't about correctness, it's about using the same knowledge and convictions to come to the same desired outcome with similar facts. Without the knowledge to distinguish between situations, how can someone be so sure that they differ?

And that's before we even go to the fact that there's actually four possible combinations of those attributes, not the two that have been presented so far (both negatively), and that the "right" way to view this is one of those.
So the thing that made Gimbal Lock click is a combination of two things: rotations are ordered, and euler angles (and fixed angles, its counterpart) are a combination of three different rotation motions.

Effectively, since you have XYZ, one of them is nested within the others. If you instead have a nested set of gimbals, like XYZX2Y2*Z2, then you avoid gimbal lock since you can always "escape" to the other gimbal.

Also, orientations are not rotations. Gimbal lock doesn't prevent you from finding a set of values that gives you an orientation, it prevents you from finding a good path from one orientation to another.

That you can't cover all rotations with three nested gimbals is a demonstration of the fact that rotations are a not obvious space. See also the Dirac belt trick.
I'm not aware of any such devices? I believe you have that backwards - many (most?) devices support HDCP, a form of DRM (and thus legally protected against reverse engineering by the DMCA). This is supposedly to prevent you from pirating (ie copying) otherwise legally purchased content.

In other words, the claimed motivation is to prevent you from running off a copy of whatever you happen to be streaming from Netflix. In reality though it doesn't seem to be very effective, leaving me wondering why so much time and effort is invested in it.

Um, well I'll try my best. In a way it's true that it's a solution looking for a problem and I think we are seeing novel ways to use it. I think a problem is that people still associate blockchain with "currencies" and payment. That is a fairly narrow view of an immutable ledger.
A project that, in my opinion, gives a glimpse of the direction blockchain will go in is the Baseline Protocol - a joint project between EY, MS and Consensys. I have tried describing it in another comment [1]. But to give a basic idea is that it does not necessarily use blockchain to transfer value, but instead to coordinate two entities. Basically it puts communication between business entities exchanging, for example, supply chain orders on the blockchain. Essentially the blockchain becomes an auditable protocol for communication, reducing technical overhead and making things like adjudication easier.

You didn't consider the actual argument:

> we don't want to get used to treating beings who look, seem and feel human, as non-human.

Doing so might enable you to counter it. Or at least, understand where others are coming from. Let me parallel your claims:

> A baby is a human without a mind - therefore not a person.
A baby is an animal without high cognitive function. A mindless human has no rights, no feelings, and never existed as a conscious entity. It's a tool.
Babies fail the self-awareness mirror test (until about 15-24 months).
