I would argue that there's a big class of games that have an educational purpose. E.g. Minecraft, TIS-100, and many more. Even an arbitrary game that's not in your native language is helpful, I learned English mostly from gaming.

If you recall, Microsoft got a punch in the nose for their abuse of market power, stuck with billion-dollar fines for it, then more similarly scaled fines when they tried to circumvent the ruling in 2013.

They learned an important corporate lesson, which is why Xbox games can link to external subscription payment options.

Apple have not yet learned this lesson.

To add, what makes the business logic so painful is that you don't define the rules yourself. They are the result of legislation, regulations, lawsuits, contracts, and preferred work processes of very headstrong individuals. The codes tries to reconcile all of that to get to a solution. It's not about a great idea, it's about the laws of physics being written by a committee.

Yeah, it would be the end of it.

This kind of thing didn't exist before because it was impossible to make people follow the rules, and it's pretty costly to maintain, given that Apple has to vet all the software, host all the content, and do that across hundreds of jurisdictions with various local rules.

Before Apple there was no way any of this could happen, Google followed suit only because it looked so profitable, and they could afford to bite the losses for as long as it took to prop up their smartphone.

So, yeah, it would shake the industry to the core, just not the way most of the people begging for it think it would.
Sure, but the more articles like this I read about crypto, the more it sounds like carrying cash at 3am in the worst part of town....
Sure, but does that one mall capture 50% of all physical good sales nationwide?

This is an issue of monopoly power, which depends on scale. If you use an analogy that doesn’t demonstrate the same market power, of course it’s going to seem absurd.
Lynn Conway's Retrospective (2003)
Epic can’t force a jury trial on anti-trust (Sherman act violations) - only the US government has standing to even file that kind of suit. What they can do is sue for damages due to breach of contract or similar bad faith which is a risky and not hugely convincing position.

You’re quite right that they want a jury trial and to put on a show. But legally this is just a business dispute and arguably one that Epic engineered. I wouldn’t be surprised if the case was simply thrown out for that reason.
Guess that explains why everything is so glacially slow. How about deverting a tenth of a percent from the military? :)

Great but does it have WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok tho.

If not then the category it belongs under is in the eternal hobbyist and early adopter category with no hope of mainstream adoption.
It appeals way beyond that. Marginalized groups have known that concept since... well, forever. It's "chosen family" or "framily" (friend family) in the circles I'm familiar with.

The more technical term is "intentional communities". If you search for it, you'll find an extremely wide range of them. This particular "squad" thing has more of a tech bent, but it still falls within that concept.

The page also highlights one of the problems that squads face - it's a highly cohesive group with very closely aligned interests. That often makes their communication less interesting/understandable/relatable to outsiders.

(Which poses an interesting problem - the more uniform the group becomes, the more efficient in-group communication is. To the point where you cannot attract new members to the group, and it slowly withers away)
Apps don't need to be in Rust. And maybe they even shouldn't be programmed in Rust.

If your application or backend or whatever can tolerate GC, I would strongly recommend that you use it. While Rust has made manual memory management easier than either C++ or C, it still requires more work than a GC'd language.

Rust has a lot of things going for it, but this obsession with writing everything in Rust that has taken HN by storm is a little confusing.

Swift is unequivocally a higher-level language than Rust and definitely should be used for iOS development unless you have a very good reason to use Rust.

Seriously! How much faster would people expect them to be able to run with this?

Something like this is the work of a lifetime. Elon is 49, and isn’t running out of funding any time soon. It’s an incredibly costly and risky endeavor which could improve a lot of lives.

I think the idea of putting it into an otherwise healthy individual is way, way off and kind of a distraction? But in the meantime if this can somehow help treat e.g. Alzheimer’s it would be an absolute godsend for millions of people.
Because the comment I was replying to was saying to think of the iPhone as a store... I was following the analogy and expanding on it because I thought it was inaccurate.
NPR reported a story like this this week:

They are not hard to find. This one also included some dodgy billing practices by the medical provider. Consistent with industry standards.
Looks like the benchmark was cpu bound, so I doubt going to an even lower resolution would help much.
"How can an American court rule for Epic?"

It's unlikely, but In an EU court, it's a different kettle of fish. Maybe Epic's play for a favourable ruling in Spotify Vs Apple in the EU?
I prefer 'winter time', but would settle for just eliminating the shift.

Shifting IS the worst. Heck even the orbital tilt changing the length of daylight in semi-northern latitudes is icky.

Yes, that's true of course, but not really relevant to whether you could port Netflix's work on scene-adaptive rate control to x264. Maybe you'd lose aligned GOPs... but for a lot of purposes (offline?) that doesn't matter.

> Of course not, that's why the perform an analysis of both options and select the better one. That's what the algorithm does...

The only point I've ever tried to make on this subject is that in some cases this approach fails. "Perform an analysis" is such a high level description that it misses the fact that this is being done according to some objective metric that may disagree with an individual viewer's personal preferences or viewing environment. In fact, just because an objective metric says 4k > 1080p doesn't mean the difference will be noticeable at the viewing distance the viewer is at, whereas the additional artifacts introduced by moving from 1080 -> 4k without a significant bitrate increase may very well be visible!

Most Python math and ML libraries are compiled using GCC or LLVM and are linked against against cBLAS or OpenBLAS[1]. The latter is highly performant on both Intel and AMD (and other platforms). Some libraries are optionally compiled against the MKL, in particular those that are distributed with the Anaconda Python distribution.

"Oh, yes," she answered. "The house you own on East Twelfth Street, Mrs. Palmer ... has a sewer that gets clogged every other day and runs over, all through the courtyard. It looks blue and purple in the sun, like a rainbow."

"The block you control for the Claridge estate, Mr. Brooks, has the most attractive stalactites
growing on all the ceilings ..."

She was asked to speak at a meeting of social workers. It was an important meeting, with a
militant, radical mood, led by some of the most prominent women in the field. ... She said, among many other things: "The family on the first floor rear do not bother to pay their rent, and the children cannot go to school for lack of clothes. The father has a charge account at a corner speak-easy. He is in good health and has a good job. ... In the fourth floor front, the father of the family has not done a whole day's work in his life, and does not intend to. There are nine children, supported by the local parish. There is a tenth one on its way..."

...

"Look, you know, I've heard about that swank dinner where you made certain remarks on this same subject. And then you go and say things like these at a radical meeting."

"They're true, though, both sides of it, aren't they?"

We can’t even get people to wear masks in the middle of a fucking pandemic. Do you really think this is a likely and universalizable scenario?
Apparently it depends on the type of app and streaming apps are one allowed to do so.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24311230
And if they would start providing 4K or at least 1080p to Linux users I might consider subscribing again. Streaming services are popping up left and right while at the same time turning into their own specific guettos of supported platforms and features. Makes you almost value the role of the traditional network aggregator. Maybe the market will eventually consolidate or organize itself so you can buy a full service from a single provider that knows what it's doing technically.
If so, I think they're using it in a more standard way than you. A squad is a small group of people you collaborate with, a tribe is a potentially large group of people you identify with.
I'm not sure any of those things you mention are "successful businesses". Interesting technologies, sure. But they have yet to prove they can make a dime off any of them. So far they are nothing but capital burning enterprises.

(No,Tesla is not profitable)
I really wish people would just ignore hate speech online like we've been doing for forever. I'm so tired of Google & Twitter trying to be the "internet police". It's so infuriating. The internet feels too "safe" now.

Obviously a "KKK Members" app in the app store is absolutely unacceptable, or something overt like that, but to dig into the content of an otherwise harmless app? Cmon, man. We're adults. Let us see what we want to see.
wow, that's an interesting dark pattern i hadn't encountered before!
> Could you explain the Kurt Cobain statement? Not being snarky, just unfamiliar with what you're referencing.

I believe they are saying that Cobain's work (and the popularity of Grunge generally) brought new life to the Rock music scene, leading to an uptick in garage bands forming (and therefore demand for music lessons?) as a second order effect.
> This is like in Amazon sold a fridge and said you can only shop at Whole Foods.

So why would anyone buy such fridge? And if they do, there clearly are other benefits, which you omitted.
I'm confused. Standard time is already the time in winter, so abandoning ST won't change anything about the middle of winter....

That said, I agree with an above comment to just be DT year round. I _do_ hate afternoons/evenings in the middle of winter.
I agree. I had access to no other language in early 90s. I made tons of graphics games in gwbasic back then. I recently wrote a game in PuffinBASIC as well to relive old days: https://github.com/mayuropensource/PuffinBASIC/blob/master/s...

In modern languages, python is an excellent beginner’s language.

> Does Apple deserve 30% of all developer income?

That's the (literally) billion dollar question, right? Just with a bunch of other questions embedded in it: even if a 30% cut was okay in 2007, is it still in 2020? Aren't there a whole lot of different kinds of in-app purchases? What about subscriptions? Even if you still buy Apple's argument that the App Store isn't just a payment processor and should get more of a cut because of that, aren't there clear cases of in-app purchases where they literally are just a payment processor? I'm skeptical of the strength of Epic's particular case, but I definitely don't want to come across like I think Apple has been showering themselves in glory here. :)
How do they expect those competing platforms to be delivered? If via side loading through a website then we’ve already seen them complain about Google having warnings for that.

If through the app stores themselves then they’re essentially asking for discoverability, hosting, and distribution of their products for free.

At what point does a company deserve the right to compete with you on your own product? If Amazon continues to engulf online shopping can another company eventually sue to have their own store listings put on Amazon with no money going to Amazon?

To me these two situations aren’t that different. Apple and Google have each built hardware and software systems for their services. Other companies like Samsung have developed their own app stores that they distribute on their phones. If Epic wants to be a service provider then there are already charted pathways to doing so that don’t involve suing over service fees you already agreed to.
I should be able to build a website and set up payments on it, then build an app which includes a subset of the features, not including payments. Apple should not be allowed to terminate me or compel me to support payments via the app. That is predatory and monopolistic behavior.
Excellent breakdown with the proper theory. However

> In an institutional fundraise, all buyers must get the same price

Isn't that the basic problem? Don't we have tons of auction theory on how to not sell all at the same price? presumably that auction theory also properly doesn't confused the varying unit price vs total money raised (it's integral).
"Alternatively, use keys that are stable across most common Latin keyboards layout, which means no AMQWYZ."

No no no no no this is a terrible idea. Don't make 99% of peoples experience non standard just so that people with non qwerty keyboards (who are probably expecting to need to remap controls anyway) have automagic defaults. Just default to the most common thing (WASD) and let people remap keybinds to whatever they want in case that doesn't fit.

I'm a pretty avid gamer and I've literally never opened a PC first person/third person shooter (or other real time genres with a similar perspective) released in the last 15 years or so that didn't have movement mapped to WASD by default. Not doing so would make your game feel very unpolished.

If you care about accessibility at all you need to allow button remapping anyway, even if you go with positional keybinding.
Without Googling it, I would wager that 3-4 conglomerates own 98% of the malls in the US. So I think it is an apt comparison.

This.

Circadian rhythms are based on local noon, not standard time.

West coast people don’t get it, because they are mostly in the western half of the pacific time zone. There’s a big difference in daylight between Boston and Ohio... it’s really dark in Boston (Or any other place in the eastern frontier of their time zone) in the morning during standard time.
I agree on the smart tv thing, I don’t use it, but it’s available. But even with numerous laptops and desktops I’m just not very likely to watch on one. It’s harder to watch with my wife or friends on a laptop, or desktop. And even though I have a nice setup I don’t want to sit in my desk chair all night after sitting in it all day. Im more likely to watch on a tablet while laying in bed or on the couch than an actual computer. But still use the Apple TV 90%+ of the time.

I have had an ACA plan during two separate periods of time over the last decade and it was on the order of $400/month, with no consideration of pre-existing conditions. I've also had the opportunity for COBRA, which was too expensive, but still under $800.

Where do you get your "information"?
Eliminate the orbital tilt!
The only thing worse than eliminating the time shift, would be moving to permanent standard time (winter time). Make summer time (DST) permanent
In the court hearings, Epic explained how they implemented their payment processor change addition without catching Apple's notice. The app simply asks the Epic servers for a list of payment processors available to display to users, and at review time it was only the Apple one. A week after the update, they added another entry to the DB, and now there's a second option, without modifying app code.
Yeah, it's sad that this stuff has stopped being an incidental thing but rather a large factor in a lot of people's (mis)thinking. I don't know exactly what scientists should do about this.
Have they examined the effects of the sun rising at 4:30am in the summer (if we adopted permanent standard time) or 9am in the winter (permanent daylight time)?

What our current system does is keep sunrise time more consistent at the expense of more variation in setting time. I think this is reasonable compromise: work and school schedules are fixed, most people like to awake near when the sun comes up, and most people have a fixed morning regime.

Something is always coming down the pipe. Fortunately you have need to walk the treadmill, and if you're only just getting a 4K screen now, then you're probably not the kind of insane early-adopter who is.

12k is possible but it's hardly around the corner. Even 4K has both content and hardware issues around it. 8K is going to be the next mass market push but we're not even done with the 4K party.

Also 4K display devices are available at a modest price point now. The bigger issues are content. We're mostly there with mass-market media, but if you want to drive a AAA video game at 4K resolution you're having to make compromises and spend a lot on the hardware to drive it.

They're going to keep making new things. And the new things are going to have bigger numbers. It's okay.

You were replying to my comment, which said "The iPhone is not a store."
I'm not sure that's exactly what they meant. If someone writes a comment with an incorrect fact, it's common to see it downvoted. It also happens with rude or humorous comments.

But it also happens with opinions, no matter how thoughtful, rational and well written the comment is. Even with true facts that someone happens to dislike. I'm avoiding certain topics as long as I can and following pg's advice in What you can't say. It's not worth it. Actually I'm avoiding most topics that I find interesting directly for me, begining with the technical ones.

I would also like a new feature in HN: giving up the right to vote.
Big difference is that devices that work with these interfaces (i.e. screens and speakers) are loosely coupled and maintain context with the rest of the environment. You can remove yourself from their influence in an instant.
Please don't compare a tractor/car with the phone. Phone is a unique all-in-one system that has personal biometrics, facial recognition data, accelerometer data of my walking gait, what my sleep patterns are, emotional state, browsing habits, GPS location, home/work trips, messaging data, how often I call my doctor, network access, bluetooth access - I could go on for a few more paragraphs.

Does a tractor even come close to that level of personal information?

I agree with you and the right to repair movement. It bothers me that comes like John Deere are milking innocent farmers with equipment lockdown. It's the same with industrial robot manufacturers like Fanuc and Kuka. I once had to call Fanuc to add 128 additional registers on the controller for $10k! This is pretty rampant in B2B world and now penetrating the customer space - think about all the subscription services today! You don't own anything.

Phone is a different beast all together.

When it comes to developers, I value my device more than the developer ecosystem. For me, the phone is where I store personal data:

- Contacts
- Photos
- Notes
- Messages / SMS
- Health and Fitness

Everything else is secondary to me. So, I could give less of a damn about developers and their ecosystem than the security of the device. If I want to access external service, I use Safari or download an App.

I absolutely do not want Apps to have more control of my device. I am thankful that Apple is the gatekeeper.

I hope people see this - no one outside of HN gives a shit about Developers and I agree with them.
Market share does not actually determine monopoly. You can have 100% market share and not be a monopoly. Conversely, you can have 50% market share and be a monopoly.

Apple has more active users in the US than Android btw.

The fallacy being repeated is actually people defining monopolies by referencing market share.
