Thanks! So, I don't know exactly what the pricing model will be yet, but I definitely hear your feedback on this topic, and I'm looking at pretty much every option :) My intention is to build a sustainable long-term business, and deliver a continuous/regular stream of updates (e.g. see the Release Notes at https://mimestream.com/releases), so the pricing model will need to support that goal.
Give me rock solid and cheaper 4G before jumping the gun to 5G.

How will going from say 40mbps to 250mbps+ on a phone help me in any way over the next 2 years? For video, the limits of a phone display cap the max bitrate below 5G's speed. 1080p at 60fps is around 16mbps.
I imagine you could use different fonts to accomplish what color does already.
It also shows that Apple really don't care about their customers and would rather stick it to Epic than continue to support the people who choose to use their login system.

If Apple wanted to show some goodwill towards the end users who were caught up in this mess they'd continue to allow them to log in or provide a migration path.

I wonder if this will be used against Apple in the future since it's clearly hurting people of they lose access to their game, progress and purchases.
Here you can see co-relation between increase in twitter activity followed by increase in the price of the stock.
Apple is doing it's absolute best to allow Epic to demonstrate irreparable harm in their motion for a preliminary injunction...

This is a curious decision considering that the primary distinction between the part of the temporary restraining order the court granted (against Apple interfering with unreal engine) and the part the court denied (against Apple interfering with fortnite) was that the court thought that Epic had demonstrated irreparable harm with respect to the former and not the latter.

I don't get it.

(Legalities note: A temporary restraining order is basically a "preliminary preliminary injunction", the same idea, but granted earlier and only lasts until the court rules on the actual preliminary injunction)
That is actually a good criteria for code quality in general. Don’t prepare a Java method which is not used. Because it will _never_ be right. Just implement today’s story, and leave the rest for another day. Same goes for rarely used functions: They are usually very buggy, where as function in the middle of everyone’s workflow are flawless. Hence the work of a good product owner is to streamline everyone as much as possible on a few central functions. But of course, in an enterprise environment, there are a few functions that are required to work (XML export, backup and restore...)
I've been playing with a Waveshare display using this great little library for rendering with HTML and JS

However I suspect the resolution (even for the 12.5") is too low to reasonably use with a code editor.
I'm hoping it's a good time to sell because I just sold mine for 3x what I paid for it 10 years ago. But there could still be a lot of inflation coming up.
> The trouble is that opens another attack vector. This story[1] (previously discussed on HN[2]) comes to the opposite conclusion.

> Who is right? Is there a consensus in the security community?

There might not be one best answer. There have been many other stories on HN of people loosing access to their Gmail accounts, and having no recourse with Google to regain access.

My gut feel is the best any of us can do is to set up our digital lives so that our accounts are "misaligned" to make it more difficult to use social engineering to pivot between them. For instance, in the story you linked, they key to an actual attack was a shared credit card number between Paypal and Godaddy that was used for verification. Ignoring the fact of how stupid it is to use just 4 digits for such a task, it would have made that path more difficult for the attacker if he'd used a dedicated card for Godaddy (given his domains were valuable enough to him that they could be used to extort a $50k twitter handle from him). Having different, secret, email addresses/domains attached to important accounts could also provide a stumbling block.

But it's also worth noting that much of the attacker's planned attack failed, and he only succeeded in the end through extortion.
Your comment makes it sound it sound like Apple is breaking the law.

Epic could have brought on this lawsuit while still complying with the App Store rules, in fact the judge suggested they do that so their users aren't impacted. They wouldn't be getting kicked off right now and the Sign-in with Apple button wouldn't be getting disabled. They chose to break the app store rules, which they did agreed to, AND they also decided to sue Apple.

They could revert their app right now and Apple would restore their account and they could still continue their lawsuit. Epic is just weaponizing their user base in their fight against Apple.
There is clear variation in experiences and preferences here, which is why I believe it is foolish to claim that all resistance to WFH is from managers who want to spy on their reports.
Epic has no interest in doing things that are for the good of average gamer. Just trying to slice of various pieces of pies, and Linux gaming is too small to care.
This looks small enough that it might just be possible to keep it in an ambulance, which would be an absolute game changer for treating stroke.

Stroke treatment medication must be taken IMMEDIATELY to avoid permanent brain damage, but there is a chance that the medication will kill you depending on the type of stroke, and the only way to find out what kind of stroke it is is with MRI.

Being able to treat stroke before a patient is MRI'd in a hospital will be a massive benefit for humanity.
I'm constantly amazed at how fast my 4G/LTE service is.
I had to run my house off of my tethered phone the other day, and browsing seemed faster than cable -- obviously slower overall bandwidth, but good enough and very low latency.

I have no desire for my phone to be faster in either processing power or bandwidth -- it would give me absolutely no benefit.

I wish 5G, 8K video (and even 4k in many cases), etc., were not thrust upon consumers. Things are already good enough to be close to magic.
Windows 10 SSD Optimization Bug Finally Squashed with KB4571756, Update Now
This. A lot of people lost their routine. People who never experienced stress and anxiety before are now bathing in it.

Maybe the stress is making them care less. "Why should I care about washing this house when the world is falling apart?"

Some of them may care more. "If I make a mistake here, I'll get fired and never find a job in 2020."

Either way, stress WILL increase the amount of mistakes done.

For example, this study saying that surgeons make up to 66% more mistakes during stressful situations. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181219191052.h...

It's daily stress, they describe it as people talking, machines beeping, etc.

Now imagine the result if you replace this daily regular stress with a fear of a pandemic, a fear of the economy crashing, a fear of the environmental crisis, etc.

People are bound to make more mistakes.

It appears that Apple deeply believes all iOS users are, fundamentally, Apple's customers, not the customers of any apps or services they use n their Apple device. It is consistent with their belief to take away Apple users from companies they no longer want to do business with.
Now now, OP’s 5 EUR plan includes a 22% sales tax.

I think this shows the risks of relying on _any_ social sign in. If that endpoint breaks, whether via a protocol upgrade, server downtime, or what have you, you can now no longer access any services relying on that social login.
Your usage of the word 'trivial' appears to be a substitute for the word 'conceivable', and I would absolutely agree that's it conceivable with this specific rewording in place:

> it'd be conceivable for someone to use amazon's firmware keys to sign a new firmware

However, I disagree with the word 'trivial' and the framing it implies. It would require a non-trivial amount of effort for Amazon to do this; both to keep it secret within Amazon; and to build, sign, and ship a custom firmware; and to avoid detection by changes in the device's bandwidth patterns.
From the FAQ:

> Does Fluid use operational transforms?

> Fluid does not use Operational Transforms, but we learned a tremendous amount from the literature on OT. While OT uses operations that can be applied out of order by transforming operations to account for recent changes, Fluid relies on a Total Order Broadcast to guarantee that all operations are applied in a specific order.

> Does Fluid use CRDT?

> Fluid does not use Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs), but our model is more similar to CRDT than OT. The Fluid Framework relies on update-based operations that are ordered using our Total Order Broadcast to prevent conflicts. This allows us to have non-commutative operations because their is an explicit ordering.

Their model sounds a lot like how Croquet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croquet_Project) used to work, where every operation is given a globally-ordered timestamp as it passes through a shared message router.
Increasing capacity via 5G will allow higher data caps too.
In my eyes Android is terrible with regards to Google’s tracking and 3rd party app quality and privacy. Apple is the better alternative in my opinion (if you want to own a smartphone, which I do), but that doesn’t mean I like their abuse of power.
If your business relies on your ability to walk in into a store with your shirt off and a mom-and-pop shop denies you access, you can look for one of their competitors. If all the mom-and-pop shops decide have a "no shirt, no service" policy, that rule probably exists for a reason (its a form of democracy).

I don't really care about Epic's stake in the matter; they are clearly making plenty of money. A smaller company with a different idea that treads the line with their in-app-purchases would be in a tough place.
I'd kill for it were I using gmail, but I am with fastmail and mail.app now ;)

Closure in the sense of a function which capture free variables in the outer scope. The captured variables are like fields in an object instance since they retain their state between invocations of the function. So a closure can be thought of like an object with a single method - hence a poor mans object :-)
Your example is definitely better.

Based on the rest of your comments, I'm not sure you know that automatic differentiation is a well established technique that is 40+ years old.
Nope, Epic broke the contract that they signed with Apple, in an attempt to create a marketing campaign for their own store, which outside HN I bet most users don't give a dam.

Like any breach of contract, it should be dealt appropriately.
We're supposed to be civil here but frankly the linked post is twaddle. You can't give the reason for not having unaffordable personal libraries and then disregard it immediately because you're selling your theses, whatever those might be.

The thing is books used to be very expensive, yet people managed to read as many as they could get their hands on and even spend crazy money on them. Open any book from say the 17th century and you'll see how they quote as many works as they could. Take the Quixote for instance, there's a famous chapter about the library of Don Quixote, the whole novel is built around satirizing a popular genre that Cervantes as an avid reader also knew well.
Now you’re suggesting something that will likely not satisfy some sort of “disparate effect” testing

Although brought up in the lawsuit it is not a basis for any of the counts in the lawsuit. The counts in the lawsuit all go to the same conduct they are accusing Apple of.
It's not that hard all things considered, but from a 90s PoV, it's a lot of work: you have to identify possible QR areas, deskew them, try the QR algorithm, see if it decodes to something, and then show a pop up on screen.

I think Apple’s brain drain over the last decade is finally starting to show.

This undermines their entire user-facing SSO strategy with anyone paying attention. (The dev-facing “implement our SSO or you can’t be on the iPhone” isn’t really a “strategy” per se.) Of course apps will have to support it to be in the App Store, but this means that any user paying attention now knows that their accounts/logins for PAID SERVICES are potentially at the mercy of Apple’s control crusade battles.

Dangerous precedent.
Yeah, the intention isn't to claim that Mimestream somehow makes using Gmail more secure, but rather that it doesn't suck your data onto an additional server, like a lot of email clients tend to do these days.

I would like to add support for IMAP and JMAP in the future, which should broaden the scope of services you can use this with!

So I could use LTSE to buy a share of MSFT? But MSFT hasn't agreed to follow any of the LTSE's rules. Why would/should anyone buy MSFT on the LTSE?

Or maybe the point is: there's no point in buying shares with LTSE today, even though you technically can do so, and instead I should wait until there are individual listings and buy those?

(And even then, I don't need to use LTSE, I can just buy their shares on NASDAQ with Etrade like I always do…?)
> After you've been sold a product, the manufacturer has no authority on how you use it or where you resell it.

Unfortunately, this idea is not as settled as you make it sound (around the world). Even in the US, it still pops up - in 2019 SCOTUS heard a case on cheap imported college text books.

Additionally, manufacturers have latitude on who they sell to, and to sign contracts with those intermediaries.
I concur! Market design is so important.

Eric, I worked at the world's first carbon market over a decade ago (Chicago Climate Exchange) and a group of us are at the early stages of designing some new exchanges focused on fixing market failures across several sectors.

I've been following your work for a long time, and I am excited to see LTSE finally launch.

I am concerned about the ability for people to create secondary markets the undermine the intention of the LTSE. How do you resolve this?
FCoE was (and may still be) pushed heavily by Cisco. It was neat, being able to have your Cisco UCS devices talk to both Fibre Channel NetApp and Ethernet all on the same link.

It worked fairly well once it was up and running, and you set the QoS correctly so that FC traffic won out over Ethernet because Fiber Channel does NOT tolerate drops very well.

You have no way of knowing this and frankly I doubt it. And I'm not sure that it wouldn't weaken their legal position.
If you want familiar syntax, Oil is the most bash-compatible shell by a mile (which means it's also POSIX compliant).

But you can opt in to a bunch of fixes for longstanding shell warts, shown here:

Just running these scripts and localizing the error is a big help! And that would get us closer to a new shell that can be realistically adopted.

- MBA programs need to meet certain standards for the accreditation. It's not simply what the customers want.

I am not saying I agree with the restrictions imposed by the console manufacturers but that case is different.

A console is designed for a specific task (playing games and similar software), the market is somewhat competitive and you are free to buy a PC/Mac/Linux and get 99% of the functionality (minus a few exclusive titles). In fact consoles nowadays are just PCs running a custom build of a general-purpose OS.

The mobile market is different. There are only 2 dominant players (Apple and Google), they both have similar anti-competitive restrictions (side-loading on Android is a non-starter given the various security warnings, and even then the lack of officially-supported root access on Android means there are things official Google software can do that you can't do without resorting to exploits, plus Android requires you to accept Google's terms & privacy policy which does not comply with the GDPR). There are no other players; the open-source alternatives such as Pinephone are not viable alternatives as they cut you off from the vast majority of apps out there. Let's take a period-correct example, are there any Covid contact-tracing clients available for platforms besides iOS and Android?
See https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=75831 for a similar sentiment from me a couple of years before that.

My exact quote was, While closures may look like a poor man's object, I think the reverse is closer to the case.
This is doable via a shell script (+ pandoc):

# 1. Put markdown on clipboard

# 2. Convert to hex
out=$(pbpaste | pandoc -f markdown -t html -s | hexdump -ve '1/1 "%.2x"')

# 3. Convert to an applescript data class
osascript -e "set the clipboard to «data HTML${out}»"

# 4. Paste rich HTML

You can use something like Alfred or Keyboard Maestro to trigger that script with a keyboard shortcut.
5G sounds terrible when you put it that way lol. Is there any upside besides (potentially) better speeds?
Yeah, many more in https://CRDT.tech

Incidentally, Microsoft is probably the only big tech co that could perhaps profit from dweb-style tech.
Also not necessarily a function, both rust and js support closures in brackets.
Tl;dr: "Reading was held to be extremely important, but the number of new books one read was entirely by the by. This wasn’t principally an economic point. Books were very expensive of course, but this wasn’t really the issue. What mattered was to read a few books very well, not squander one’s attention promiscuously on a great number of volumes."

Reading deeply and critically is important; to do otherwise is to just let the words wash over you without leaving an impression.

Reading promiscuously was regarded as bad historically not because it squandered attention but because most books were considered full of lies and the majority of readers couldn't be trusted to separate the truth from falsehood.

On the other hand, if your dozen books are made up of Ayn Rand, Malcolm Gladwell, and Seth Godin, you may find that your worldview is as limited as any medieval scholastic.

Right! This galaxy is there for the Big Bang Burger Bar.
Alright, so it is ONE mode, of ONE game that requires this... that was a (poor in my opinion) decision of the gamedev, nothing to do with GoG Galaxy itself.

It is similar to Diablo 3, SimCity 5 and Anno 2070 that have single-player features that are processed server-side, maybe like these ones it is a disguised DRM too.

So your original argument is still wrong.

Galaxy is not required to play "many newer games", it is required to play one, maybe a bit more games, where the dev made some questionable decision.

Also you asked about GoG being a platform for DRM-free games, even Northgard would still fit some definition of that: skirmish mode and campaign mode work even in the Steam version without the DRM. Seemly that particular game online shenanigans is purely to add DRM to the DLC, not the main game. (I still think that this is shady, but the original argument others were making still stands, Galaxy is not DRM, and you usually don't need it.)
