There are many better third-party reddit apps out there than the official reddit app. Although seems like Android has more options than on the IOS side. Apollo is the only one I found so far on IOS that is fairly decent and feature rich matching the ones on android. Any other recommendations?
The money line

“Where national law and international human rights standards differ, we follow the higher standard. Where they are in conflict, we respect national law while seeking to respect the principles of internationally recognised human rights.”

In other words, business as usual, more virtue signalling. This weasel word statement means they stand for nothing. They will still do business in the country. They are upholding no values if they allow national law to trump their ideals.
Van Gogh tried to sell his art for more than the price of parts. He was unsuccessful in his life due to being ahead of the curve. Much like Betamax, he died before being appreciated.
We have the freedom to express ourselves by giving Apple $99/yr to share our open source apps, apps which ultimately further enrich their platform.

If you are poor and have been donated an iPhone, then express yourself somewhere else.

And if you have expressed yourself on macOS in the past, now pay up there too, or we are going to suggest that your art is dangerous to view on our devices, and we'll make it difficult [1] to run.

Nathalie Lawhead's article [2] is a heartbreaking exploration of how open source developers and artists experience Apple's chokehold.

Am I the only one who thinks it's fine?

Let's be real: the performance of Reddit's mobile app is quite good. And when I compare it to any other similar mobile site feed, the sites are always slow and janky, because browsers aren't great with handling infinite scrolling full of hundreds of videos and tens of thousands of nested comments.

I know everybody here think's it's a "dark pattern" to get people to use Reddit's app instead of site on mobile... but to me it looks like it could also be legitimate performance concerns.
> This has some serious Eternal September vibes, like when we reached the tipping point of more normies than nerds using the web.

Sure, but there's something positive about this. Usenet's external September happend with maybe a million users, Reddit's with hundreds of millions. Which means that bigger communities are possible without the problems happening :)

On the other hand, Reddit surely changed during its growth, so there were probably multiple similar events. After all, HN was created as PG felt that was not a good place to discuss startup ideas.

I've felt the "technological sublime" that the article mentions many times when contemplating the internet. Perhaps the only difference is that there wasn't a precise moment to focus attention (e.g. moon landing) and there aren't big fanfare events when new internet infrastructure is created (e.g. a politician nailing a golden spike to complete a railroad).

I don't know how much this is relevant here but I read of this a few years ago and now I feel like I shoe horn it into every single problem in the world: the principal-agent problem.

For those not in the know (sorry, if you're like me you will be addicted to this from now on)

> The principal–agent problem, in political science and economics (also known as agency dilemma or the agency problem) occurs when one person or entity (the "agent"), is able to make decisions and/or take actions on behalf of, or that impact, another person or entity: the "principal".

The management of the company has no REAL interest in the long term benefit to the franchise, much less baseball in general. They're just trying to survive this quarter. Here "survival" is very twisted. You could think you are doing a heck of a job but if your revenue grows a very respectable ten percent year over year this quarter but your competition is out there growing twenty five, then well your bosses aren't going to like that very much. It is basically survival of the worst, really.

I think I am guilty of assuming the best intention of other people sometimes and then I see the "Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law" tags on mattresses and I am reminded that we need laws not to prevent people from stuffing literally human hair and who knows what other nastiness in "new" mattresses but to do so without disclosing the fact the mattresses are made with nastiness.

Seconded - love sync's offline capabilities. Especially on long flights. I commented above that android seems to have better options than IOS when it comes to third-party reddit apps. (I use devices from both platforms).
While I don't necessarily disagree with his thesis, I think the author cherry picks points and creates a narrative where there isn't one. He mentions the last "shared cultural moment" was Buzz Aldrin landing on the moon. Personally after watching it live, I'd argue Space X launching humans into space is one of those "moments". This all comes down to your own interpretation of the events and there's so many other examples in the piece. Narrative fallacy at best, but mostly pseudoscience in my opinion - world progress can't be binned into a coherent storyline.

Has this been coupled with any actual policy changes, donations, or new products? Is there anything concrete that Apple is going to do differently now that it's made this statement?
The Challenges of Keeping an Intimate Relationship: An Evolutionary Examination
So the linked news story makes it sound like this document was proposed and accepted:

> At its February annual general meeting a shareholder proposal calling on Apple to publicly commit “to respect freedom of expression as a human right” received more than 40 percent support from shareholders.

> According to The Financial Times, Apple's board of directors approved the policy and published it ahead of a deadline of Sept. 5 for shareholders to submit motions for next year's investor meeting.

When attempting to read the document through the link in the story, I get directed to Reuters who says:

> While it was defeated, it gained 40.6% of votes cast - far more than similar motions put forward previously and enough to push the company to respond, experts said.

So, this sounds like Apple may have published the proposal but still actually declined it?
>we’ve never moved permanently backwards before,

I tend to share your thinking on this, although at least one knowledgeable online-imaginary-friend vigorously disagrees with me.

I have looked but failed to find a VM image or even images of installable media to build one online. If you know of any, I would like to know -- and if you don't know of any, but have the skills, I think you could do a big service to the OS research community by making and sharing either install media or a VM or both.
If you want to see a variation of this concept in the wild, in active use by lots of people, check out PICO-8 cartidges.

PICO-8 is a virtual game console. I.e. it's an emulator for an oldschool game console that doesn't exist in reality. It's designed to be easy to code for while maintaining the limits and aesthetics of old game computers

PICO-8 games are, of course, distributed on cartridges. However because it's a virtual console, the cartridges are virtual too: they're PNG files.

Try browsing PICO-8 games here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?sub=2&cat=7

Press the play button the play a game right inside the web browser, but be sure to click the little "Cart" link right below the playing area to see what's going on. You'll see it open a little PNG file.

That PNG file is the cartridge. It contains the entire game.

The file format is explained here: https://pico-8.fandom.com/wiki/P8PNGFileFormat. Obviously, because PICO-8 carts are purely digital, the format doesn't need any of the contrast, the error correction features or the orientation markers that QR-codes have. You can't take a picture of a cart with your phone and play it. You need the exact same, byte-for-byte PNG file. But it's still super cool.

Not to mention the performance difference between Pro and LTSC is night and day on an HDD. All that extra overhead is much less noticeable with an SSD, sure, but it's still there.
I don't know a lot about this use of AI, but I do know that the modeling phase is similar to some other work I've been a part of. I do know that the statement that this is a lot of data to collect is certainly true. Some of the engineered variables used here are interesting as well.

"A state that cannot attain its ultimate goal usually swells to an unnaturally large size. The world-wide empire of the Romans is nothing sublime compared to Athens. The strength that really should go into the flower here remains in the leaves and stem, which flourish."

The root issue here seems to be the focus on material prosperity as indicative of success. That strikes me as a very 20th century idea, one from before the "Information Overload" age. The cultural-philosophical problem of the future is figuring out how to prioritize in a land of abundance.

Assuming this article itself isn't autogenerated (which given the sheer number of typoes it probably isn't), the author grossly overestimates what the paper(s) report.
I'd only use Zadehan if it not only was a value on the interval [0, 1] but a fuzzy membership value on that interval to which the Zadeh fuzzy logic operators apply.

If it was a probability value to which Bayesian operators apply, Zadehan would be a singularly inappropriate name for the type. Types aren't just ranges but they also define the valid operations (whether syntactically functions, methods, or operators) on the type.

> I can't imagine reddit being the bastion for intellectual discussions on specific topic as much as any of those other sites are.

Reddit doesn't claim to be the bastion of civil discourse and that's ok. HN is where pretentious pedantics go for intellectual masturbation, Reddit is more for casual engagement.

Popular subreddits are like school, all discussion is dominated by the class clowns but there are plenty of subreddits where people ask questions about random hobbies and get help from random strangers. There's no strict rules for posting and people can offer as much or as little as they like.
With respect, maybe you just need to shop around more? In Seattle some shops have a good variety and some do not. I'm looking at the online menus for two local shops right now. One primarily has high THC products while the other has a variety of low-THC high-CBD products, including flower. For example the strain 'Remedy CBD' from Puffin Farm is listed as THC 0.41% CBD 12%.

Their menu lists 9 CBD flower products and 97 CBD edible products, not to mention topicals, concentrates, etc...
You know, it's funny, the topic in this article is the forced abandonment of VMS.

Microsoft at one time had a video interview on their "Virtual Academy" with one of the PowerShell creators, and he talks about how they kept trying to create a "unixy" tool for managing Windows machines, and it never felt or worked right. So then they looked at VMS and realized it was the perfect inspiration.

Most of what you love about PowerShell comes from VMS.

I think the author is arrogant and closed minded. He underestimates the levels of complexity of software systems and strives for some utopian "elegance of design" which I think doesn't exist. The only thing which matters is to deliver results and move forward. Requirements change: back in 1990 the internet existed in a much much smaller form, and WWW was just about to be invented. Linux had yet to be invented by Linus. Unix and Linux survived and adapted, VMS (or whatever it was named) didn't. Also the argument about "speaking English" is again so arrogant and closed-minded: not all of us are native English speakers. To me rm or delete or del or banana doesn't really matter...
Top Five vs Code Themes and the Worlds Worst
And why, pray tell, must this logic be duplicated (poorly) in every single "service" application? Isn't the UNIX way "do one thing, and do it well"? Isn't the whole "I, the author of the application, will forcefully disregard the environment the user provided to it" against the UNIX spirit of composability? No UNIX application that I know of re-opens the controlling tty as its stdout — that breaks pipes, so is heavily discouraged and nobody does that. Well, "daemonizing" breaks job control/child process control/service managers, and yet people insist on doing it.
Someone needs to invent a new browser that expects something other than HTML/CSS/JS over http.

Maybe the new browser has a bunch of built in widgets and runs in a sandox. It would be cool if you could browse to a URL to run something that felt like a traditional app.
I personally think that selling your car is the most cost and also climate effective thing you can do.

Without a car, use a bike to get around (I'm doing this for +20 years now, despite everybody says its not possible. IF you urgently need a car, for example you have to move something big and heavy: just rent a car/van/whatever. Done)

The second most effective thing: Probably let go of all your plans about flying via plane.

Beside that, in your household, using HOT WATER accounts for 10 up to 30% of your annual energy bill.

I "found" out, that using about 36 to 38 degree Celsius warm showering water is most ideal for your skin (and no, it does not feel cold! It feels warm, not hot, not Luke warm, just warm as in very comforting). So if you use just warm water for showering, you might decrease your overall boiler temperature, which mostly is set above 60 C.

Beside ALL this:
Spread the word and show everybody that changing is not hard at all and it even is promising a longer life (due to more biking, less products to "repair" your dried out skin due to too hot water etc.)
I wonder how much it'd cost for them to license a tiny part of the low-frequency radio spectrum? The one for BBC Radio 4 covers most of the country with a single transmitter for example, using this old-school technology you could report your battery's serial number as stolen (with the appropriate authentication) and the company would broadcast a signal to short it out. This would be much harder to defeat than an internet-based solution I think.

The point is to not rely on a server to host anything though. That the QR contains the data itself, not just a URL pointing to the data. Otherwise it is no different from any other QR code that has a URL in it.
The two weeks of learning about it substantially reduces the risk of death, it sounds like a reasonable approach to me.
As a counterpoint to this entire line of thought, I'd recommend reading "The Fremen Mirage", a series of blog posts linked to below. It does a fantastic job of going through the history of the idea of "decadence" as what destroys society, and of the idea of "hard times" as the crucible to form strong fighters. The long and the short of it is that there is no historical evidence for this idea, that the "decadent" groups had massive advantages over everyone else, and that the original idea of "decadence" tended to be created for internal political reasons, rather than any true comparison with outside groups.

A factor might also be what kind of mails you send. If it's important stuff for a specific user it make sense to have a direct reply.
