> Microsoft and Playstation also allow for cross-platform play

Sony explicitly didn't allow for cross-play until 2 years ago [https://kotaku.com/sony-is-finally-allowing-cross-play-on-th...], even though it was technically possible before then [https://www.engadget.com/2017-06-24-rocket-league-cross-netw...]. In fact, the only reason Sony opened up to cross-play is due to pressure to stay competitive with rival platform Xbox. This was a take-it-or-leave it situation, but Sony was too big to leave. Nothing changed until Sony caved to social pressure.

If the argument is that Apple is a unique kind of device that Apple has a monopoly over, it would hard to argue that Sony and Microsoft don't enjoy the same monopoly powers. On the other hand, if argument is that it's easy enough to switch from Playstation to Xbox, then how is that different from buying a new phone?

In fact, I would bet that Epic sued Apple not because it's more monopolistic, but because they want to set a legal precedent that they can then apply to Playstation, Xbox and Switch, without threatening Epic's core business on consoles.
Interesting analogy. So in effect to someone “watching” from outside our universe anything moving at the speed of light in our context, is moving either faster or slower than the speed of light in their context. Since the ballon and everything inside is expanding it means that either things are moving at the speed of light + speed of expansion, or speed of light - speed of expansion, when watched from outside. Assuming that everything expands along with the balloon. If I understand this correctly, and according to:

“Due to the expansion increasing as distances increase, the distance between two remote galaxies can increase at more than 3×108 m/s, but this does not imply that the galaxies move faster than the speed of light at their present location (which is forbidden by Lorentz covariance).”

But from outside we can move faster than the speed of light? Sorry having trouble getting my head around this.

I basically want to say the same thing as u/lostlogin said about CT for determination of what stroke it is, but maybe add some details.

You're basically looking at ischemic vs hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke can get tPA or thrombectomy (within a 4.5hr window based on current data). We're a bit more limited with hemorrhagic stroke, but some surgeries are successful (clipping, coil embolization, etc).

From most studies, the sensitivity of noncontrast head CT ruling out a hemorrhagic stroke (most likely due to an aneurysmal hemorrhage) is around 98-99%.[1] These tests are fast, take maybe 2-3 minutes, and the entire hospital will move heaven and earth for a stroke alert.

Why is this important? Because you're essentially limited by transport to the hospital. The MRI in ambulance will save you maybe 20-30 minutes at most. It may help some, sure, but I don't think it would be as massive a benefit as you would expect.

You could argue that we should be administering tPA en route to hospital, and that can certainly be debated. I would say that the risks of tPA administration are pretty high, and should be done while in a hospital to manage any adverse effects such as hemorrhage. Maybe if we develop better safer clot busting tools we could improve morbidity after stroke.

My vote would be to increase preventative care, so that people stop having as many strokes. It would likely be more cost effective in the long run, but I'm no economist.

P.S. your fun fact for the day is that hospitals generally lose money from strokes and tPA administration. The real money is in procedures like thrombectomy! And maybe live close to a stroke center if you're at high risk (diabetes, hypertension, coaguable)

NAL but you can sue without breaking contract if you're challenging the contract's legality. Epic also is generally challenging Apple's use of their position to 1) not allow other app stores, and 2) take 30% of each sale (while other processors take 3%), which would be enough damages to sue over. Epic breaking contract is entirely a PR move.

T-Mobile has been doing mmwave on 2 different bands for over a year now in various cities, airports, venues[1][2]. The difference between T-Mobile and Verizon was the launch strategy. T-Mobile played it right by not hyping technologies most of the country can't use like LAA (5GHZ) and mmwave. Verizon arguably had the best LTE launch strategy years ago, but yeah... I guess they could afford to botch this.

Come to think of it, pre-merger Sprint probably had the best launch strategy which was to launch 5G on mid-band where they had enough spectrum to service both LTE and 5G NR users. Masayoshi Son was too busy flushing his money down other toilets like WeWork and Uber to cut the checks Sprint needed to get it completed nationwide. Sprint also suffered from having 5 or 6 different equipment vendors across the country... where T-Mobile had two. They have been ripping out the NSN 5G equipment from NYC post-merger, because this is a T-Mobile Ericsson market and they don't want to deal with it.

AT&T meanwhile got a $100 billion 25yr contract from the post-9/11 telecom pork project, FirstNet[2]. So they've been throwing up tons of new sites with that money over the past year or two. I don't think anyone was thinking about 5G or spectrum planning over there, just focusing on acquiring consumers through acquisitions (Directtv, some crappy Mexican carriers) and getting government contracts. Gov M2M stuff moves slower than Apple at acquiring new modem technologies for their devices, so there's not a huge rush to ramp up 5G.

> What I think is meant, but I absolutely want someone wiser to confirm or refute, is that the rate of expansion is proportional to distance, and therefore so small inside a single galaxy it can be ignored.

I am not that person. But I feel like this can't work -- if all space is expanding equally, in proportion to its own extent, then we would perceive no expansion at all. If two points start out 1 light year apart, and over time 1 light year expands to be 10% longer than it was before... and also, everything in the universe expands to be 10% larger in all spatial dimensions... then the distance in meters between the two points hasn't changed, because meters grew too.

The console market has been slowly dying for the last decade. If anything, opening the console market could help rejuvenate it by turning consoles into general purpose entertainment devices.

And the claim that consoles are just closed down PCs is absurd. Consoles can play AAA games at a fraction of the cost of your average PC. The hardware that goes into building a console is significantly different than a PC.

The better a C++ library is, the less possible it will be to create a Rust wrapper for it. Good C++ libraries depend on language features that are, and will always remain, wholly inaccessible from Rust.

Almost every feature of C++ is there to make writing powerful libraries possible. Many uses of such features become part of the library interface, because that enables zero-overhead libraries with semantics intricately integrated into the caller's usage.

Rust has a goal of zero-overhead code, but is not designed to minimize the overhead of library usage. That was a choice: it makes the language simpler and easier to learn, but that comes at a cost. You cannot write a Rust library to do what is routinely done in C++ libraries, and a Rust wrapper cannot expose those capabilities to Rust code.
Ironically, the French time format is best in my opinion, because some operating systems and services can’t handle colons in file names. ISO 8601 allows for Thhmmss.sss which can be represented in filenames, but I’d rather use something like 20h33m02.345 because it’s much easier to read at a glance than T203302.345, which looks like one decimal number.
> Functional has been around for 30+ years.

60+, and OOP has been around for 50+.

> OOP won against functional because OOP is easier to understand and leads to more maintainable code.

OOP didn't “win”, it had a period of intense popularity starting in the late 80s and starting to fade around the mid-00s. And that was largely path dependence and building on C; had someone put the kind of effort into C-with-lambdas instead of Stroustroup's C-with-objects, we might have had a couple decades where the most popular languages were all C-descended impure functional programming languages rather than C-descended class-based OOP languages.

None of this sounds any different from thirty years ago. And the interaction with law enforcement sounds like high competency it’s just that high competency doesn’t look like what you thought it did.

Generally I find greater competency on average. I just accept that a person can be competent at doing something I don’t like.
"Conversely, it is used all the time for censorship and policing in China."

Sure- in China. I'm not in China. Censorship might be a problem, but outside of that, I'd much rather have the Chinese government (and even Chinese local police!) have my metadata, and even data, than give the US national security apparatus the same access.

Corporate IP is another exception to this- it's pretty clearly better that the US, rather than China, have access to my work data.

But for, say, a Snowden-esque whistleblower in the US- can you really say they'd be better off with, say, DHS having access to all their data instead of the Chinese government? Obviously ideally nobody would, but for them, a system whose failure mode is "China can associate your IP and email address" is, I believe, dramatically better than "DHS/NSA can associate your IP and email address".

Mitch Daniels, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, discounted this estimate as 'very, very high' and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld stated that the costs would be under $50 billion. Rumsfeld called Lindsey's estimate 'baloney'." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_B._Lindsey#Cost_of_th...
MS/PC-DOS 2 is when fixed disc partitioning came along.
Video game consoles (in terms of XBox and PS) are nothing more than same spec’d computers. They both (PS4 and up and XB1 and up) run on x86-64 for crying out loud. They just don’t look like a computer (in terms of openness), but the homebrew community has shown that they can be.

So the comparison is pretty apt; Some are claiming phones are computers now, so why aren’t actual computers that have been walled up any different?

From 1975 to today, the US has been at historically low-levels of domestic terrorism. Five years prior (in 1970), the US reported 400 domestic terror attacks/year [1].

In 1971, the Pentagon Papers leak exposed massive & systemic FBI wrongdoing. Afterward, the agency was reformed and re-tasked into a law enforcement mission (until 2012). By 1975, domestic terrorism had sharply fallen & has remained at that low level since.

> Oil is the most bash-compatible shell by a mile (which means it's also POSIX compliant).

Bash is not POSIX-compliant by default; it has a POSIX mode (https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Bash-POSI...), which changes a lot of behaviors. It's mostly small things, but it's a long list nonetheless.

I wonder what's Oil's approach here - does Oil has separate "bash mode" and "POSIX mode"? Or are the divergences inconsequential enough for most scripts that you don't bother distinguishing them?

FWIW, I avoid using the word "POSIX-compliant", because strict POSIX compliance is usually not exactly what people want when they use this word. Instead I'd just say "POSIX-ish" as a vague notation for the intersection set between bash and the actual POSIX standard, and maybe more minimal POSIX-ish shells like dash.

> Hey got what they wanted, as did Apple.

That's correct, they were not big enough to take on Apple and win. They bent to Apple's demands and figured out a solution that Apple wanted. In the process they saved their own company but had zero impact on the overall ecosystem.

I think my original point stands. If user-freedom advocates want a "champion" that can actually change the ecosystem, it's going to need to be someone bigger and more powerful than Hey. It's going to need to be a company that has a lot of lawyers and a lot of money.

Nobody supporting Epic in this lawsuit cares about Epic's motivations. It's not important whether or not Epic is doing this for their own good or not.

Again, think back to Google vs Oracle. Do we believe that Google wasn't selfishly motivated during that case? Of course not, of course Google is looking to protect its own interests. But the case still mattered for ordinary developers, and we still wanted Google to win.

I didn't need to stop criticizing the Chromium team or stop accusing Google of being anti-privacy to support them in that one lawsuit. "Bad company accidentally does good thing" is a perfectly fine perspective to have when dealing with corporate lawsuits.
I thought it was explained. Local gravity is moving things together much faster than general expansion is moving them apart. At super super long distances, gravity is weaker than expansion, so something very far is disappearing while something nearby may be collapsing.

However, that questions a different future I’ve seen in popular science talks: That the future becomes dark because of expansion. That makes less sense to me now, since it would seem that a merged set of galaxies would keep plenty of local stars in the skies. Assuming that stars are born as fast as they die (but I don’t recall seeing an answer to the ratio of star births vs star deaths at a local level).
