We still have the problem of the ctenophores. "Comb jellies", they used to be, until it turned out they have practically nothing in common with jellyfish except transparency and radial symmetry. Or with anything else.

They use proteins similar to those used by other animals, but for different things. Some people think they evolved muscles and nerves entirely independently of other animals. Some people think they fell from the sky.

Whatever you think, they are astonishing in every detail. Watch videos of Beroe if you have any doubts.

This is probably a better idea. No hidden costs to any one. Employers would either lower salaries in America, or stop covering insurance.

When the cost of healthcare is visible, maybe then the majority who have employer provided insurance would then fight with the minority of us who use the marketplace, and shoulder the entire burden of the price.
Agreed, i have Sony Android TV and with Amazon Prime 4K HDR the content has really good quality the problem is that after some time it starts to buffer/jitter and i think its due to Android and bad processors Sony used in the TVs.

My Apple TV 4k obviously runs much snappier but i find the HDR quality really dark and lower than native Android TV.

Ya. Strength usually refers to static tensile strength, of which PLA scores pretty damn high.

There's a YouTube channel called CNC Kitchen which does regular testing of filaments. He measures various kinds of strengths (tensile, compressive, impact, young's modulus etc). I highly recommend it.

But when people say strength they usually mean static tensile strength.
I don't think a robot needs to lift more than 1kg or even less to be game changer. It just needs to be accurate and smart enough so that it can use different tools(i.e push different buttons) that do the heavy lifting.

The fact that "just" paying $500 per month (in premiums, I assume?) is considered an improvement...
Your citation has nothing to do with Apple banning apps and the idea the article cites is as old as dirt and has been discussed since way before the App Store.

There is no copy cats rule. There is an existence proof that this isn’t true in every category where Apple bundles a first party app.
The Brits have better average tooth health than Americans. They don't go for orthodontia as frequently, but in terms of cavities and missing teeth, they do better.

This is largely explained by economic differences in the US. The poor have awful tooth health; the wealthy have very good tooth health. In the UK, the poor and wealthy are closer to the median.

Alright, thanks for answering. What things would you consider being crucial to be done right though?
Right, these gains are mostly relevant when you have a relatively small library compared to how many views each item gets. For example this would probably not be worth it for Youtube, expect maybe on individual hyper popular videos. Every kb that Netflix can shave off of a popular movie means terabytes of bandwidth saved.
Under American law there has to be an actual harm (meaning alleged harm). Speculative lawsuits where you ask the courts to rule on something ahead of times is not allowed. It's just not how this country views its court system. The courts are for resolving specific conflicts that have occurred -- with factual histories playing key roles in determining which precedents may apply.

The larger topic of which this is a part is something called "standing." Lack of standing is quite a common reason for a court to deny hearing a case. Not only does there have to be a harm, the party suing has to be the party that suffered the harm. So you also cannot sue on behalf of others.

This is the reason for the initial actions Epic took. Tim Sweeney has been chomping at the bit for this sort of suit for years. But they needed a harm to use as the locus for a suit. There has certainly been a big PR campaign surrounding it to try to sway public opinion to Epic's side, but the action itself was necessary.

That's a big IF. You will find it damn-near-impossible to have any legal standing when you willfully violate the terms of service with a provider as openly as Epic did.

Apple is fully in the right here, and as a consumer I'm glad Apple isn't messing around with their software security. What Epic did was down right sneaky, and they are (rightfully) being punished for it.

Epic started this mess, the law and legal judgements have made it very clear how they could have avoided this, and they didn't. Your feelings, personal device choices do not change facts.

im saying, HAM equipment is NOKIA 3310
non HAM world is Iphone 11, samsung galaxy S20

and im saying, my phone in my pocket is more powerful and more capable then any ham radio equipment on the market.

my phone can realtime decode 50 streams of packet radio,
and im not even using integrated DSP processor inside my ARM SOC

packet radio is invention of 199x, we have DOS programs on pentium4 machines to decode almost all of the modes (GMSK, Olivia etc)

so where is invention, where is some improvement on these 25+ YEAR OLD technologies used by HAMs?
My feeling is that this whole situation is mostly going as Tim Sweeney intended. He was itching for a fight, wanted to sue Apple. The harsher that Apple retaliates, the better Epic's court case. Apple is playing right into his hands.

Did Sweeney anticipate Apple's threat to Unreal Engine? Maybe, maybe not. But the temporary restraining order did block that threat, at least for now.

I don't think Epic ever intended to release the new Fortnite season on Apple platforms.

This is a long play, not a short play. In the short term, Epic loses money by not having Fortnite on Apple devices. But in the long term, it's much better for Epic to break Apple's App Store monopoly.
Small cliques of ~12 users is pretty much the long tail of Discord servers.
>Epic could have taken the matter directly to the courts

Probably not. Part of the reason Apple has prevailed in the past is the lack of direct consumer arm from their actions. By offering the discounted rate it's no longer disputable that Apple's actions harm the consumer.
In total? Yes. As a fraction of total volume? Debatable.

The only reason why software is unsecure is because we decided to tradeoff security for development speed. Using secure languages, formal software verification,etc you could create secure systems. Brain software would definitely have to be put in much higher standard.

People understand perfectly well that Fortnite skins have no intrinsic value. They buy them because they enjoy the game and the skins have subjective value to them. Maybe the game will be around in a decade, maybe it won't; it doesn't matter.

Fortnite is far from the only game with paid cosmetics, it's a model that appears to work quite well from a business perspective, even over time. CS:GO has had weapon skins in lootboxes for 7 years now. (That's just one example.)
It's shame that we all just accept today that a sufficiently large enough corporation is above the law. :(
That's not "entrapment" under the legal definition.

This is like saying that bait cars don't help with car theft because nobody would've stolen the car if they knew it was a bait car.
Probably applies to other cases as well. I think many people would be ok with "ok Disney, you have Mickey mouse exclusivity for 200 years if you stop messing with copyright extensions".

Tim Sweeney is thinking years ahead of most other people. In the case of Google and Apple, I suspect what he is actually concerned about is these two companies have control over a VR/AR/XR "metaverse" platform. There are hours of audio and transcripts about him talking about this as well.

It sounds like the link between GOP and "shot" (single camera shot, presumably) is being done explicitly. I would've expected this to happen automatically through their production pipeline but I guess it wasn't.
In statistics, quantity beats quality. Suppose you have 3 nuclear power plants, each with 85% reliability and 10 wind power farms, each with 50% reliability. Assuming statistical independence (obviously a bad assumption, but that is not the point), do you think it is more likely that none of the 3 nuclear power plants generate electricity or none of the 10 wind power farms?
But you've arbitrarily defined what a market is.

By this tortured logic Tesla should be forced to have a marketplace of self-driving implementations which their cars must support because that is technically a market.

And they must not unfairly promote Autopilot.
I love how everyone uses throwaways in these comments because they know any deviation from the progressive-left line will get them cancelled!

I’ll say it under my name - I’m completely old fashioned and probably racist / sexist / *-phobic whatever because I still agree with Martin Luther King that it is morally correct to judge someone by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. I’m so totally backwards! I meet someone new and have a blank slate no matter what color they are or what they look like! I do this intensely regressive thing where I listen to what they have to say and judge them by their words and actions. I know, very evil and wrong of me, but I can’t help it - I still like Martin Luther King!
Maybe I missed something but, scene-by-scene encoding--a model similar to scene-by-scene color correction--for feature films destined for digital release has been a thing since DVDs first arrived in the late 90s.
> - competent programmers who do a good job write the best code in the shortest amount of

As much as it pains me, this is an undisputed fact. If you get two developers to implement the same ticket and both hit the definition of done, but while one takes an afternoon the other takes two weeks, who performed better? That's the reality of today's corporate software dev culture. The best code possible is that which meets the definition of done and is delivered in the shortest amount of time and preferably requiring the minimum amount of changes possible.

> - more time always leads to worse code (unnecessary abstractions, handling non-existent requirements)

No, that's not a function of time. The problem I stated is that in today's corporate software dev culture goldplating and over-engineering are code smells. Thus the pressure is placed on adding code that is less robust and adaptable to change. Consequently, technical debt piles up whenever new requirements emerge because the current culture puts a pressure on "good enough, delivered as fast as possible". Refactoring and redesigning and cleaning up are deemed unproductive tasks that deliver no improvements or new features, and whoever delivers more features is deemed a more productive developer. Hence, today's software development practices favours accretion which results in continuously growing technical debt.
I wonder what changed in global cyber security and law enforcement during this time window.
Let me try again: I'm calling out practitioners of racism, that those people suck. Would you care to disagree?

That is the context and the intent, so if you're interpreting it as hate for all white people then you're sadly mistaken.
Then electric vehicles are not nearly as clean as the public thinks they are: every two Teslas or electric cars on the road produce more small-particle pollution from the action of their brakes and tyres than the total small-particle pollution of one internal combustion vehicle (engine, brakes, and tyres).
That's not true at all. This whole thing started when Epic released a direct pay feature in their iOS app that gave a 30% discount for direct pay straight to the users. You can argue whatever you like about the big corps legal departments, but it's inarguable that users using the direct pay feature are paying less right now.
You have random apps intercepting your text messages and you wonder why that is a security issue ?

I am so glad we have companies like Apple who actually take privacy and security seriously.
If all you want to do is push buttons there's probably a much simpler and cheaper way to accomplish what you want electronically.
Without taking this action and being removed from the App Store, Epic would not have had standing[0] to sue Apple. Their lawsuit would have likely just been thrown out.

Just because Epic stands to make an extra buck or two doesn't mean that their incentives are not aligned with small developers and consumers in this particular moment.
If human brains merge with computers, I hope we are running free software in our heads. The idea of code you cannot observe or control, in your head, seems like an attack on humanity. I'd like to see this put into actual law from the start, possibly at the level of a UN Human Rights declaration. I'm not interested in living in a world with an app store for your brain.

As an aside, the technical capability for true mind-reading doesn't seem too far fetched anymore. I don't think society is currently structured to accept the consequences of that. People are not what they appear to be on the outside.
Getting interested in ham radio is difficult when you have a smartphone and internet. "I can just talk to the world from my phone... what's the point of this?"

What really got me hooked is the fact that modern information infrastructure is so massive, expensive, and pervasive, and we just take it for granted.

Ham radio lets you replicate some functional aspects of modern communication with literally nothing but $50 worth of parts and a long wire. No cell towers, no fiber, no undersea cables, no comcast, no google, no facebook, no internet servers/protocols/routers/hardware/etc...

It's amazing how much of this you can just collapse into a hobby project.

Yes. That's right. Part of living in a free market state is allowing the market to choose. Part of living in a civilized country is ensuring that there are safety nets available to those who the market fails to support.

The market operates efficiently when every entity involved can have net worth of any amount, including negative. Unfortunately, human life requires a particular amount of wealth to survive. You cannot have a pure free market system without there being some left out. The purpose of government is to protect rights to life, liberty, and property. That means providing some support when someone's wealth is so low that they cannot sustain their life.

This should be implemented in such a way as to affect the market least. Milton Friedman's negative income tax would be one possibility, but there are others as well.

In any case, the market should be free to operate as if the person could reasonably be expected to have nothing.

I understand. Have you been actively searching for preprints of long-term conditions (I haven't, only noticing what I come across in definitely non-exhaustive just-trying-to-keep-up-with-it-all reading)? If so, do you have any good recommendations for where to look?
no, I would not, but it is also not what we were discussing.
Nope (this is a common misconception)! Thankfully, the price of premiums and deductibles is capped.

I know I've seen it a couple times, but can't find the search terms to find them now; jetbrains model is a bit wonkier though (key term: perpetual fallback license) -- you subscribe annually, and if you stop the subscription, you roll back to the version available at the time you last paid. So you're basically buying the software as it is today, and then getting a 12-month trial of the updates happening from there.

This doesn't seem to be any better incentive-wise than the model I described (stopping payment stop further updates, so you keep whatever you have today), but comes with the user-backlash of losing what they thought they had (no one feels good about rolling back)
Especially when Apple Music is $10 per month, Spotify needs to more or less match that price. The problem is if Apple takes 30% and Spotify pays out 70% (old info, maybe this has changed) to labels, Spotify is left with $0. It drops to 15% after the first year, but that's still not good compared to the 3% major credit card processors charge.
Well, you were replying to this comment:

With something that seemed like "no, I don't think 'white people suck' is racist". Bashing white supremacists is great! But bashing an entire race isn't.
Are you eligible for health insurance with these universities if you live out of state?
I mean, it depends on the Swift code you write - basic example which could be done fairly closely: https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/cacao/blob/trunk/examples/aut...

Having written my fair share of both languages, I don't think they're as far apart as people think... yet, anyway.

I doubt my response will age well.
"It is not necessary to pick side, and it baffles me that so many commenters feel the need to do so."

Putting aside the ever-presence of "shills/influencers", I believe when users argue over one bad option versus another, it gives them an illusion of choice and control, or at least it is a type of response to an absence of choice and control. The differences between these tech companies are fewer than the similarities. The "good" option that a rational user would prefer does not exist.

In a "lesser of two evils" situation, it is fascinating how easily the issue of the "evil" itself is forgotten. A common response to the issue of the evil itself might be "We don't have a choice." 100% correct. Yet people behave as if they do, arguing vehemently for one evil over another and inflating minor differences between the two.
I'm surprised nobody talked about the potential implications of effectively embedding, now that the device is standalone, a lithium ion battery into your skull.
