If suddenly computers can create perfect, beautiful music, I will still play an instrument.

I didn't downvote you because I guess it's a fair question to ask, but it is a rather naive one. Why learn arithmetic if a computer can do it?

“The Silver Eggheads”: story about machine writing fiction by Fritz Leiber, 1959
Yes, that's the one!

Storing secret keys as QR codes is an interesting application as well. I remember reading on here about a CEO who printed out a database encryption key as a base64 string and then couldn't type it in correctly when it was needed to restore backups. A machine-readable format definitely seems the way to go.
It makes me sad that a technical comment from someone in the field thats widely echoed somehow compares to funding an EV and space travel startup. No one claimed Musk couldn't do that...
to be honest with you, I'll be happy if either one of them wins. One of the unusual cases when I think both outcomes would bring about positive change.

Apple TV has a Developer overlay with video metadata (requires XCode & dev account).

Yeah, there's a clear difference, especially on Disney & Apple. Apple is very close to 4K blu-ray (there's some YouTube vids comparing them).

I'm using a low end 4K projector, so it's more apparent.

12 Years In, Facebook Cofounder’s Second Act Finally Has Its Moment
Yes — and putting down on ‘only one bit’ of information as output is the same as saying ‘no one will want a computer’
> such as being top-ranked on coinmarketcap or backed by in-industry VCs, then there're hardly any scams at all

I have to disagree there. Looking at the top 20, I see

3. XRP (Market cap hugely inflated, vaporware)
8. Bitcoin SV (This is textbook)
9. CRO (Not obvious today but time will tell)
11. EOS
15. TRON
19. NEO (Depending on your definition of "scam" and maybe it was well-intentioned initially, but having tried implementing for it, it's nowhere near living up to what they claim the current state is)

Then there's Tether/USDT, which I know is a contentious one given their history.

I'm very much a long-term believer (10y+ until ready for mainstream, and even today an important hedge to mainstream finance and national economies) but we shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking the majority of current volume is not what we'd like to believe it is. There's also the fact that you can have a big team of well-intentioned and intelligent people being orchestrated by a charismatic and convincing charlatan. There are multiple historical examples of this.
Then for crypto you need to count what fraction of value is used for illicit activity. Here is a paper estimating its about 46% of transactions [0]. If you look at transactions that cause real economic activity (as opposed to speculation) I bet the fraction would be in the 90%+.

Medicare for all wouldn't put 10% of the population out of a job. Not even close. Also, Medicare/Medicaid are cheaper primarily because they pay providers a lot less than private insurers for the same service.
The Lello bookstore in Porto, Portugal has a lot of visitors just for sightseeing (if you search for photos you'll get why), so they started to charge €3 (~$3.6) for the entrance, refundable if you purchased a book.

Still, seems like Powell's experience is all about the books themselves, so that value should be well captured in increased sales.
I think this is a surprisingly good analogy. Let's make it explicit (now in two ways) -- the daughter here seems to represent iPhone owners.

So, getting to the crux of the disagreement -- the way you've stated it, fair enough. What about when the farmer is actually the owner and landlord of just over half the homes in the US? Assuming enthusiastic consent from the daughter to [play Fortnite], it's not so reasonable to require her to "just move into a property your dad doesn't own", especially if the 50% he owns make up the nicer half.

There's a bunch of other places you can take this analogy. I like Epic as a pickup artist here -- in it for their enjoyment, not any caring for the daughter. And some users (daughters?) have chosen to live on Dad's property precisely because he gets to keep the less savory types away, even if it means they have a more limited choice of partners.

At the end of the day, I'm personally against the farmer-baron (thus, temporarily and uneasily allied with the pickup artist). It's the daughter's body, and I believe she should be able to make her own choices. Partiarchy is one solution to unsavory suitors, but I don't think it's the best one.
What other things in your life would you accept similar limitation?

Would you accept a house that only allowed furniture, food, books, electronics, devices from the company that built the house? Do you think it should be legal for a company to make a house with those conditions?

Would accept a car that could only take gas, tires, oil, electricity from the company that built the car? Should it be legal to offer such a vehicle?

You used to be able to buy a VCR and choose only to rent videos from Blockbuster video if you wanted "safe and clean". That didn't require any company making the VCR to force people to only to go their "safe and clean store". Apple doesn't need to force everyone on iOS to go to their store for you personally to continue to only get apps from their store.
To most of us Americans that looks like 189k euros, so go figure.
You don't think that Musk had any naysayers thinking SpaceX would fail?
The idea that he was going to rape someone with mental issues does not make things any better in my mind.

Rather, this reads like an attempt to create a new defense for pedophiles who get caught in sting operations. As far as I'm concerned, the author of this piece, Michael Winerip, is adjacent to them.
Screw science.

Down with timeshifting. Add more timezones, and possibly move some boundaries around.
Musk’s current wealth is higher than the total revenue of all the companies of which he was CEO, combined. Not profits, revenue. I don’t get why people are impressed that he sent astronauts into space when he’s been funded by equity markets and subsidies to the tune of billions of dollars. His feats are impressive in the same way building a skyscraper is impressive, but the trick is to find a way to do it sustainably and honestly. Musk has failed at both.

That being said, Tesla is currently bigger than the 4 biggest auto makers in the world combined. Remains to be seen if they can justify that valuation.
I have the opposite experience on this site. I am not a software engineer, so every time I see the word "go" in a submission title, my first thought is of the game.

Consumers and developers have very different interests. Locked down system is good for consumers, not so much for developers. Many comments here commingle the two. I happily pay Apple premium because the app store rules protect my data from developers.

Undisclosed colon cancer, stage 3 at the time it was found, and the man played through Black Panther, Infinity War, and Endgame through all of that.

> Can you imagine if Facebook didn’t want to follow App Store rules and just streamed the app?

You mean like www.facebook.com?

I fail to see why game streaming is any different than Netflix. You can't compromise the security of a device if nothing is running on the device. So this is only about Apple maintaining control.

> This is just f.lux.

Apple banned every screen-time and parental control app just before they released their own. Google Voice was banned. Apple has removed Podcasting applications for "duplicating functionality of iTunes".

> Android is rampant with apps that charge for push notifications.

I have all Android devices and my wife has all Apple devices (and I had all Apple devices in the past). There is almost no significant difference between the experiences -- the most popular apps on the store between the platforms is generally the same apps from the same companies.
Because people have to be at work which is coordinated to a “9-5” office workday and that will be harder to change than a clock.
There’s a difference between trying impossible things and pretending you’ve already solved them. Lying about your capabilities takes resources away from more honest entrepreneurs.
> Is the only available counterweight for their behaviour "drop everything and buy a new $500 phone to express your discontent?"

No. The counterweight is not buying an iPhone in the first place if side loading is important to you.
There is a setting in Prime Video to download the highest bitrate which is often around 4GB for a 2 hour movie, iirc. Totally agree with you on the download in advance rentals. With good enough internet it makes the experience of rentals so much more enjoyable.
Sperm quality worse in men who use smartphones, tablets late at night
Yes, but that's the very idea behind daylight savings time too - it's easier to change the clock than to establish a norm that every organization opens and closes an hour earlier during the summer (or rather, the easiest way of establishing that norm is changing the clock). "Permanent DST," for similar reasons, is easier than having everyone do a one-time change of their schedules.
Really interesting to study how macrumors.com loses all claims to objectivity when you read its wording with an editor's mindset:

> Shortly after Epic blatantly disregarded App Store policies

You don't need the adverb "blatantly" here.

You can just say "Epic disregarded App Store policies" and be able to claim to some reasonable objectivity. But as soon as you throw in "blatantly", you have clearly revealed yourself as a biased news source.
And worse than CRT in almost every way.

Some of us IT folks lived through updating all the various TZ files, which was quite an experience since a lot of things were not designed to be updated dynamically at the time.
The mall owner owns the mall. Apple doesn’t own the iPhones.
I'm not sure I agree. Fair trade is about paying people a higher rate; local bookstores seems more about paying for an extra service.
The discounts GoodRx provides could be providing life-sustaining drugs to people who otherwise couldn't afford them, that's definitely solving somebody's problem.
Considering the fact that you can easily find iTunes gift cars for 10% off face value (and 15 to 20% around the holidays), I remain skeptical that anyone will be paying 30% less.

Fun fact: Brick and mortar retailers spam the checkout lane with gift cards because they do not pay face value for them.
At my previous job I've built a tool that was capable of doing that (we were merging XMLs with form definitions). The main idea was an interactive mode.

Initially, tool would merge based on series of heuristics and then user would manually adjust "matching" nodes (user could say "actually, this A on the left and B on the right are the same, it's just that it was heavily modified").
CRT did have blurry and distorted image.
The remedy in this scenario is to simply not buy Amazon fridges, not have the government step in and force Amazon to change its fridges. Legal intervention should not occur unless Amazon was the only fridge seller in the world.
>useless

Well, they are not exactly useless. Even discounting for educational games, pointless games like Borderlands / Grand Theft Auto have great value. That value lies in providing entertainment in an interactive way, something that was never possible for most of human existence.

There is something magical about highly interactive games, like say Far Cry. GTA, etc, where the player knows his game, while being the same product, is unique to him/her. Services like Twitch have created whole new ecosystems of micro-economies, where a section of population is replacing movies with watching others playing games. There is great fun in watching an expert gamer playing a game. Part of the experience is in unexpected humor through mistakes, wrong decisions, distractions, etc. Part of the experience is in knowing that none of it is scripted and everything is happening in real time.

As an evolution of the entertainment industry, it's not useless.

There are many negative aspects of gaming as well. If played in excess, at the cost of childhood related activities, like playing with friends outside, etc, it can be detrimental to social development.

But those sorts of problems are there in many areas of life. Anything done in excess is detrimental.
In industrial robot arms, the problem is not having enough power to lift the load. It's making the arm rigid enough that positioning the actuators will put the end at the desired point. Most industrial robot arms are position-controlled, usually rather blindly. Customers want repeatable motion to tight tolerances, like a machine tool. The mechanics are overbuilt and under-loaded to achieve that.

I've seen direct drive SCARA robots with a big pancake direct drive motor on top. Those are used for vertical assembly, for designs where a straight-down move puts the part in place. The arm moves in X and Y, then there's a vertical piston-like actuator that moves in Z, and a rotation axis around Z.
But...this one goes to 11.
For an individual or family?
In that case, you lose nothing even if Epic wins: the msot hey can do is set up their own store, and nobody's forcing you to use their store. If there's an app you want to get on a store you don't want to install, just don't download that app. "Free choice" works both ways: you can choose to remain within Apple's ecosystem, and others should have the choice to go out of it if they want.
1ms Gray to Gray means nothing since the move from one color to another is not linear in LCDs
Well, it depends. If you are a big enough outlet or a hyperscaler, you should care about raw-performance because if a sufficient amount of people make the same choice as you, the software vendor will adapt and you will end up with the competitive advantage.
You don't actually spend 100,000s of hours memorizing openings. You study the basic opening principles and key variants, but for the most part it comes very naturally. You play 100,000s of hours of chess, and EVERY chess game has an opening.
My thoughts exactly. Keep 12pm at the time the sun is in its maximum and just do things earlier/later.
Chadwick Boseman, star of ‘Black Panther’, dies of cancer at 43
Actor Chadwick Boseman, who played black icons Jackie Robinson and James Brown before finding fame as the majestic Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, died Friday of cancer, his manager said. He was 43 years old.

Boseman died at his home in the Los Angeles area with his wife and family by his side, his publicist Nicki Fioravante told The Associated Press.
You want to look at Indiana. Until recently they were on standard permanent time. Parts of the state were on central time and parts on Eastern.

If you want to compare the effect of permanent daylight vs permanent standard then just look at cities near the boundary. Drive a few miles away and voila you're 1 hour ahead or behind - throughout the year.

If one is better than the other, it will show up there.
You expect a video to play at exactly 1 second per second. But compression or network bandwidth can screw that up. What do you do?

Ages ago they solved this by making some frames more important than others. Key frames being the top priority. If you are falling behind you can drop everything you are working on and skip to the next key frame. Then they added other priority levels so you can dump part of the work instead of all of it when things are only a little choppy.

With a zip file if you don’t have the middle of the file you can’t figure out the end. So clearly video is doing something different if they can remove chunks and still work.

Many of our compression techniques for video “hang” off the key frames. All the pictures around them are described as a set of changes to the key frame. Much smaller, but also why your screen occasionally looks like a horror show. Something went wrong and the changes were shown using the wrong starting point.

If the key frame is right before the scene changes completely, then you will struggle to compress the transition. There’s not enough space to describe all the changes. But if you have a program look for the transitions, you can delay or advance the key frame a bit so it lands exactly on the camera change. Bang. New picture. Then everything looks right.

Today it’s gone a lot farther. There are hints and patterns that span a whole movie or a chunk of it that for instance clues in that the whole movie is shot in sepia tone or a dark cave so you can guess the next scene will be sepia too. They’re talking about lining those attributes up with big shifts in the camera work, like someone coming out of a cave into bright light.
I would agree with you IF you take traditional view of 'balance' in the way that LoL and other simpler games do. I would call that ideal a 'symmetric' balance, where they want each element in its category to be compared to all other elements in the same category. LoL definitely strives for this, as do many other games. Each champion is balanced against other champions of the same role. Items are relatively inflexible and augment the already present abilities of the champion. Each champion is essentially a complete package and each uses items to enhance what they already have. But when you have such rigid categories, power creep and best-in-slot champions will naturally appear, as whatever is best able to maximize their item's stats will be meta. My first competitive game was LoL back in its beta, and I was hooked, but what opened my eyes to what balance could be was DotA's approach.

DotA takes a systemic approach to balance. Each hero is a tool in the team's toolbox. Most heroes have very specific strengths and weaknesses, and their powerspikes are very pronounced. When you draft a team, you are specifically drafting a set of capabilities that you want to exploit against the enemy. This also leads to heroes having very hard counters. But I think the real beauty in DotA is it's item system, which allows you to patch holes in your team's composition and allow a huge amount of flexibility for each hero. I can keep going forever, as I really love its game design. But the most important thing that DotA does in terms of balance is its holistic approach that allows heroes to be individual components to a team, and have items to augment strengths or patch holes that the draft was not prepared for. (DotA's design and metagame sparked my interest in Complex Adaptive Systems, so I just nerd out about it any chance I get).

So to your point, I think the whole need to create imbalance is caused because of the way Riot balances their characters in the first place. I think it is fundamentally flawed from a design perspective, but it obviously makes them a ton of money. They really mastered monetization of multiplayer games. They also made their game very approachable for noobs, and that I have to commend them for.
You're simply changing the meaning of the word then and also, I would suggest, debasing the complex experience of death by suggesting it is a singular, universal experience of 'personal tragedy'.

Everyone loses loved ones and in many cases it is not experienced as tragedy but as death being a normal and essential part of life.

Nothing wrong with following rules. But if you think you're going to be surrounded by legalists waiting to spring government fines on you for every slip-up, you might be incensed to turn back.
Yep, this is exactly where I'm at. Opening up the AppStore is a slippery slope to having 3rd party stores rife with apps that abuse private APIs and go well beyond the gated access to the iOS sandbox that the SDK provides.
