I do admit it could be a situation like how monetary policy is easier to do gracefully than across-the-board price controls.

They can be when they try to live off of bug bounties alone.

There are a lot of young folks that try to make this their full time job after some success, then get into a dry spell. The panic robs them of the lateral thinking that brought them to the dance to begin with, and they get into spirals of ravenously hunting simple bugs that end up as dupes and out of scope.
What comes to my mind, is when you buy a boat or a motor second hand.

> I would much rather paid this 30% extortion than having a platform where user can, no matter how difficult it may be, able to side load Apps. I dont want any of my family member doing it.

I’m confused, why are you opposed to the option of sideloading? Are you unaware that you can sideload on iOS? (see /r/sideloaded for a thriving sub on sideloadable apps)

It takes a little setup but it is totally doable and doesn’t require jailbreak or anything.

Argh, what a crap.

It totally ignores that we have constructive limits, i.e. we seem designed to live parts of the day on auto mode (which here equals to waste, but who knows, we don't control the background, and stuff happens even when sleeping).

Its why some people try to optimize economy of daily constructive decisions by removing what seems to waste it (like choosing what to wear or not playing games). This is way way more prominent today than 2k years ago since in single day you are exposed to more information then for entire life back then.

Lets get serious: Seneca, Buddha, Jesus, whoever, are irrelevant. Context changed dramatically.

Amazon didn't want to blow up the relationship.

I'd thought it uncontroversial that we've been breeding for docility for closer to 6'000 years than "the last one or two centuries."
Once you have a strong central authority, you are not equal by definition. The stronger and more centralized the power is, the easier it is for the ruling class to pass the status to their kids. So ambitious people won't dream of starting companies and changing the world. Their only route to success will be to join the party ladder and play political games. USSR in a nutshell.
I'm guessing Epic wants the court to break down Apple's monopoly on app sales on iPhones, potentially by requiring them to allow third party app sales via alternative marketplaces, then swoop in with their Epic Games iOS marketplace and capture a big chunk of Apple's in-app purchase lunch. Considering the sheer size of Apple's revenue from gaming despite not being a game development company[1], I'm guessing that Epic has weighed up the expectency of proceeding with this legal battle and decided its worth the risk.

I mean if this is their plan and they pull it off then hats off to them. As a consumer I welcome healthy competition.

I don’t think there is anywhere a single-person ACA plan costs anywhere near $4K. Even a “platinum” family plan in most places is $2K or less (not that that is cheap, but it isn’t $4K either) But these are also the “retail” unsubsidized prices. If you just lost your job and are without income, its extremely likely that you would qualify for a subsidy, making even a $1600 family plan likely much, much cheaper (and much cheaper than keeping your employer’s plan via COBRA as well).

Of course, as evidenced by people on this discussion thread, a lot of people are not aware of how ACA plans and subsidies work. Anyone who would even consider sticking with a COBRA plan after losing a job probably doesn’t realize they would come out much better with an ACA plan. When filling out the form you have to estimate what you’re whole year income will be... assume that you’ll be unemployed for the rest of the year when entering your yearly income. Even if you do end up getting a job in a month or two, you’ll just have to pay back some of that subsidy at tax time (the following April), but in the mean time you had cheap health insurance when you really needed it (while unemployed).

Collatz Conjecture (unsolved math problem)
>people think rewriting is a solution. It very never is.

I often see this idea formulated, in this forum or in articles.

>what is really broken in your legacy system.

Software can be arbitrarily broken (think of only copy-pasting code from thedailywtf):
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/dsb/CS373S/Images/softwaredes...

I knew a legacy system where everything was broken.
There were no proper data model and structures, so every computation involved multiple nested loops, making everything much slower than needed.
Everything was modifiable as if it was public, so it was hard to keep things consistent.
Allocation/GC and latency were through the roof, they tried to add pooling but noone could figure out where objects could be released.
One of the core classes was called Banana (changed name) but actually referred to bananas or to banana trees.
And the list goes on (threading, database usage, still plenty to tell).

Then someone, new to both the domain and the language, stepped up to rewrite everything, which took a bit more than a month.

Ten years later the core of it didn't change much, they are still building on it and it's still smooth.
Most software is made entirely free with no source of income. The job market for software is terrible, and those people work entirely seperate jobs from it. Many program on a very minimum life expenditure.
> Why is it bad?

I didn't say it was bad, I was just observing and predicting.

> Self-driving cars kill less people than human-driver cars per mile.

The types of self driving cars you are referring to are the kind being sold to consumers now, which are more like "assisted driving" than self driving. There are very few of them (i.e. they are not widely tested), they are owned by rich people (selection bias), and they ship with a giant warning not to let the car actually drive itself without supervision. So you're really testing the crash rate of wealthy educated people with driving assistance against the rest of humanity without assistance, it is no wonder the deaths are lower. The type I am referring to are the ones that actually drive themselves, the shipping trucks and whatnot.

> If we heavily regulate self-driving cars, we will slow down self-driving cars development. Cars will probably be safer, but the number of cars will be smaller, thus number of deaths will be higher.

This simply restates the point I made originally: we will be able to make them safe, but we will choose not to for whatever reason.
This is why NoScript is complementary to uBlock.
Yeah but you would have been on your own. It was never as ubiquitous as it is today. The real world is now very much living on server farms+mobiles, more than ever before.

All this seems like such an immature pointless argument.

>I imagine you'd get shot down immediately if you as much as tried to enter the vicinity of a military zone.

I don't think that is the protocol when the military encounters an object they can't identify. It would seem that decision would need to fulfill a set of requirements. I'm pretty sure that if they were able to say it was Chinese or Russian, etc, it would get shot down, but something that doesn't even register to the senses probably gets a pass. When you think about it, what are they going to shoot at, a elongated football the length of 3-4 cars that seems to be in a temporal zone it created?
There’s absolutely no way of knowing that you’re not living in a dream as we speak right now.
Also the more healthy change from a scientific point of view.

Ironically the parent post seem to be a person with a social yet lack (i.e. forced to stand up earlier then their inner clock, i.e. often stands up late). But especially people like that are biologically negatively affected by permanent summer time.
I really do like these TechEmpower Fortunes benchmarks. It has quite an extensive list of frameworks, languages, and configurations with throughput, latency (w/ SD), and errors.

I always check any lesser known framework to see which ballpark it falls into. I'm always surprised to see that so many of the popular frameworks are ~10x worse than the best--although many of those 'best' don't do as much processing. I'm much more likely to pay attention to the error counts, max latency, or SD (σ).
Only 2 viable App Stores.

At some point Apple and google will have full control of all access to the web and content.

More and more it's that the insurance company lets you pay them a premium while you also pay your bills in full. Then if you hit your obscenely high deductible they start helping. Then if you hit your out of pocket maximum they cover it fully. At the end of the calendar year, everything resets, though your premium and deductible probably increased by a greater rate than your wage did.
Yeah - wow, I can't tell if I admire the entrepreneurial spirit or pity these people for taking such a blatant risk. Numbers where I am are hitting record highs (though they were previously relatively low).
Whether you change timezone or change time is largely inconsequential. The effect is nearly the same, and it's not like it hasn't happened several times in the past. Society progresses. In an increasingly 24-hour world, it isn't going to matter. And in a society that has increasing concern about the health of its citizens, what the clock says won't matter as much as what our bodies say.
Android has an option allowing the users to install apps from any source. (You could install whole third-party app-stores this way.) Do you know of anyone who uses it?

However, it's always there, so, if my favourite Android app gets deleted from the store, I could still install it.

If your favourite iOS app gets deleted by Apple, what choices do you have?
A) This doesn't happen on Android. 95% of users use the official Play Store.

B) If this does happen, then just make the choice of not installing the app.
Augmented reality and or virtual reality “game consoles”. If I had a spare billion or three laying around I would buy up some nice spacious commercial real estate in all of the metro areas of the US. Construct the piping and glue to present a uniform framework for every single one of those locations. Think for now a single 20x20 square room, something achievable regardless of whether it was an old Best Buy or an old grocery store.

These locations become your PlayStation or game console. You need your own killer content like Zelda or something to get off the ground, but once you can offer development tools that offer access to such a large audience, the entrepreneurs will come and start building content for you.

You provide a set number of props like staircases, blocks, etc that can be arranged into a specific game rooms layout and then painted by the developers game giving you much more room than just a big open area to work with.

There are some really good POC’s out there, but it’s just a single location like a laser tag place servicing a single area. That’s not enough to build a critical mass of developers or players.
I look to find my "Power Rangers" team.

When I enter the room I expect to see all colors, genders, moods and fashion of people on the room.

In western legal systems, laws typically take into account the mens rea of the crime that has taken place.

It is not reasonable to make people guilty by proxy. Someone either did the crime, or they didn’t.

If you own a building, and someone writes a bomb threat on a bathroom stall, are you guilty of a bomb threat?
It is not just range anxiety. Most people do not want to wait the length of time it takes to charge up. And IIRC, 'fast charge' has very negative effects on battery life.

My belief comes from personal experience. That social mobility is alive and well but can take multiple generations.

There’s Plenty of VCs who came from poverty, who’s parents came from poverty, or who’s grandparents came from poverty.

When looking at that Kind of timescale from 1920s till now, I don’t believe the system has had enough time. Civil rights, racial rights, and gender rights are relatively new concepts.

My belief is over the next 30-50 years the forces of market capitalism will address the issue.
'Islam' is not a monolithic block, and we shouldn't represent it as such. Most hate speech against Muslims or varieties of Islam comes from Islamist fundamentalists and radicals themselves, not anyone with ties to any "ruling party" in India or in the Western world.
That’s not true at all. Most coupons are for any type of grocery at a store, usually promotional in nature for new products or stores.

I use coupons for all sorts of basic needs, like free ride share rides (transportation), clothing, groceries (or grocery delivery), etc. I even use promotional pricing to pay less in monthly rent in Brooklyn. Food, clothing, transportation, and shelter are not frivolous expenditures, they are basic necessities.

I won’t starve or go homeless without the coupons, but they let me save money every month, which I can use for other stuff like video games or stocks or other activities. This is good for consumers.
The guard's there to keep people from taking anything or vandalizing. Nerds taking pictures isn't something he's there to stop. It probably went down something like this:

"hey we're just here to take pictures for a magazine article, may we get a tour of the vessel?"

"um, no"

"we can pay you for the trouble"

"um, fine"
Yes... yes you should have.
Of course. I did not mean to convey that timeouts should be avoided in all cases. In fact I listed several such cases where they should be used. An API that has no way to cancel would be another example. Although I would argue that such an API is fundamentally flawed.
every regulated, monopoly or olgigopoly private company does pretty much: utilities, gas stations or anything that has one or more fees, charges or mandated expenses, for example an event ticket that adds the processing fee on top of the price. This sounds exactly like Apple and what they do to everyone in the app store.

The trolley problem is much ado about nothing. Or nerd-sniping for ethicists. The vehicle could be set to maximize harm in case of an accident and still perform better than the average human driver by creating fewer accidents in the first place.

So if you want to optimize for human lives then don't worry about the trolley problem, instead consider how you can get sufficiently good autopilots into as many hands as possible as soon as possible.
Only in extreme circumstances. If they start 30 minutes early, enforcement will just tell you it's no big deal. But you lost a significant part of your sleep time. And there's the whole deal about police brutality in the US making that a potentially problematic solution.

With that said, often it's not even an option. See: NYC where overnight construction variances are approved left and right. In our case, a construction project that is breaking all the rules and even got brought up in court is still going. The city won't (and even the court) won't do anything because "need more housing, at all costs!"

All in all it doesn't matter though: even if everything is done by the book, it gives you a strict 8 hours window to sleep. Not one minute after, not one minute before. That's my point. The rules already give you zero options unless you're straight up lucky.
Allow me to play Devil's advocate. Let's say one team decided to protest by refusing to play a game. I'll assume the NBA has rules similar to the NHL in that failure to show up to play a game is forfeiture of that game and therefore a loss.

So the Bucks say they are protesting and not playing a game. If the NBA (had a rule like I mentioned and) decided to enforce the no show = automatic loss rule, what would that look like? What message would that be perceived as sending?

There's only so much money to be made right now in sports, so I would say that there's no point in owners getting involved due to loss of revenue, outside of whatever collective revenue they get from the league. The games are still going to be played, just not when currently scheduled. Fans aren't in attendance, so you don't have people who have spent money to travel to see a team or hundreds of dollars on tickets. From the fan perspective, you just don't get to see the game when you were expecting it. Welcome to 2020!

I argue that the NBA had no choice but to cancel games. There is little to nothing to lose by cancelling, and a lot to lose by not cancelling. In this day of "cancel culture", not cancelling games would be a huge risk/liability.

I'm not saying they didn't have valid reasons for cancelling or that it wasn't the right thing to do, I'm just saying that cancellation is the only course they could take.
Startup Grind's 8 Startups to Know About in 2020
I love opinionated esthetics like this. They're like schools of thought. Back when I did user interface design and technical writing, I would sometimes consider black design elements, like doing the squint test to see how headings balanced body text.

FWIW, physically printing black can be very interesting. "Rich black" includes the other colorants (cyan, magenta, yellow). IIRC double black is having more than one (lithographic) plate with black. Really subtle stuff that you don't notice until something seems wrong.

https://www.prepressure.com/design/basics/rich-black

Then of course there were many partisans of the misc suppliers of black ink, each claiming superiorities.
You forget they practice the same bullshit, in so many levels. So they shouldn't be getting any ideas by your logic. So to have this idea would be a contradiction.
One trick I learned to slow down time is to keep a journal and write both about the future (either as a narrative or plan a schedule) and about the past (either as a journal entry or an audit).

This could be about anything, any minute detail you encountered throughout the day or goal you are planning - the number of clouds outside or an application to graduate school you're thinking about or seeing someone interesting on the street.

Do this regularly, each day for 30 minutes, for 2-3 months and you will find that your memory improves by 10x and your days feel much more fulfilling and purpose driven.

The reason I think this works, is that by both explicitly planning and examining, your brain will create its own BS filter and guide you to things that are naturally fulfilling and worth your time.
Why is optimizing for the middle of the day & night more “natural” than optimizing for the sunrise? What daylight savings does is flatten the sunrise time, which is arguably just as natural - if we didn’t have clocks or a work day we’d be waking up with the sun and going to sleep ~16 hours later, so mid-wake and mid-sleep wouldn’t be lined up with the sun’s daily equinox anyway.
A Collaborative System Architecture for 5G Networks
The real problem with this question is that there’s no standard for what “cutting corners” means. Alice might feel like she cut corners if she didn’t fully document a piece of code. Bob might feel like he cut corners if he hacked up a crypto exchange in PHP and never did any testing.

Alice’s threshold is lower. By an independent standard she cuts corners less, but feels equally bad about it and might self-report the same level of corner-cutting.

An interesting question to ask is to describe a time when someone cut corners. The magnitude of the cutting and how bad they felt gives some insight.
A honest question: why books do traditionally use pure black on white? Is it a matter of ink costs and they would also look better with a slightly lighter ink, or do different principles apply than on screens?

Same problem in Manhattan. An electric car would be great for quick trips to nearby mountains for snowboarding/hiking, but finding _any_ parking spot near home can be a nightmare, let alone having to find one near one of the few charging stations we have.
If you said you received an urgent call at 17:00 I would know exactly what time that is... 17:00. No meaning is lost because there is no time zone (local time) and therefore no disconnect / mental mapping / conversion required.

Given your example we must be talking about different things. I'm saying ONE time globally.
Life could be better in company towns. They can create ecosystems of jobs that could better support the company's goals, and as the company reinvests funds to improve the quality of life and attract talent and labor, you could see improvements in things such as mass transit or perhaps a privatized police force with better accountability.

Fellow Canadian here, I did not have this experience.

The certified cheque was done in 20 minutes. All that was required was two pieces of photo id, producing the debit card and entering my pin to access the account.

This wasn't even my "home" branch, zero prior relationship with this branch and I walked into a random one on my way to work.

I'm guessing there are hoops to jump through if you're clearing out your entire bank account because it could be grounds of suspicious activity by the branch manager.
