The point is a general epistemological one.

What I was trying to say is that there is sometimes an implicit contradiction when people say "based on what we know right now".

In a philosophical way, you could say that "based on what we know right now", the sun has always risen in the morning, but we do not know that it will rise tomorrow. But then, to plan as if it won't, is not really "based on what we know right now".

Claiming something or other will be different about the sun tomorrow might, seem plausible to one person and absurd to another; that can be debated.

But for it to suddenly vanish without a trace is not "based on what we know right now". Pretty much anything else is more likely.

What's the meaning of saying "we have no idea" as if someone was predicting it? I am not predicting it.
For you a threat, for many others a feature. Lots of people buy iPhones specifically because they are restrictive, and are therefore more robust. Ask an average user which experience they prefer - sourcing software for a Windows PC, or downloading an App for an iPhone.

Paper lacks many properties sought after in plastic packaging. We end up coating the paper if we try to make it exhibit those properties, and the coatings frequently involve some kind of polymer.

If it wasn't for the microplastics problem that I don't see a solution for yet (need something on the order of Drexlerian nanotech to scour the environment and pull the microplastics out of it), then more durable, reusable designs of plastic packaging would be amazing.

Glass and stainless steel containers are my go-to solutions at home, but many people are unwilling to put up with their bulk and weight. My ideal is hermetically sealed glass containers [1] that use ground glass joints to seal, but there is a limited selection of their form factors (I can't find tall sizes for holding spaghetti, for example). I haven't been able to find stainless steel containers with reusable recycled rubber or cork gaskets in a good selection of form factors.

I've wondered what it would take to coordinate with a manufacturer or distributor to link up a crowdsource-driven supply chain to optimize for reduce and reuse. Crowdsource enough local people within biking/PRT/drone distance who will commit to buying some specific quantity periodically over a few years, and source wholesale quantities of goods to eliminate retail packaging. Send a truck on an optimized route picking up pallet loads of goods from different manufacturers/distributors. Use material handling robots to break down the full truck load of goods, pick and place into bins, and queue for last mile distribution of first month delivery. Remainder sits in a super-insulated (R-100 or so) warehouse. The question is about finding that breakeven point where the automation productivity can be captured by a small enough group of people that makes it worthwhile for them to implement instead of letting an Amazon/WalMart/Target capture the lion's share productivity gains' benefits.

SQLite doesn't save you from losing your data when the instance goes away. One requires a backup to avoid that scenario. Sure one can opt for offline manual backups, but then one might as well use a static site generator that doesn't require any of that.
I heard a similar interesting idea on a recent episode of the Advanced Tech Podcast. Someone on there suggested that the mobile economy might be a legitimate market, and iOS has always had a hugely outsized share of the money flowing through app stores etc.
Microsoft is apparently not one of the monopolies he wants stopped, because he is incredibly hostile towards Linux and Linux support for games. I can't stand this dude and his ramblings.

I think a lot of people have short memories. When Apple launched the iPhone computer security was a disaster, the security of the AppStore was a massive benefit and the fact that we don't have massive botnets of mobile phones is in no small part down to the massive effort that was put into security. But they seem to have solved this problem so well that people have forgotten it was even a problem to begin with.

The plastic-in-the-environment problem is mainly about collection. Collect it, bury it, and it will eventually turn back into oil.

But IMHO manufacturers should be on the hook for the lifecycle of their products. Either through taxes, or some kind of market-driven bidding mechanism, they should have financial penalties (or even rewards), based on product environmental impact.

The whole recycling movement seems to me to be a way for companies to palm off this responsibility onto the public, and then win 'green publicity' when they deign to make their products slightly more amenable to the (usually public-funded/volunteer/coerced/etc) recycling system.
Would this change at all if Walmart was the only store allowed to operate in an area corresponding to about half the US population?

It does. This landrace grows in areas receiving high rainfall, and with high ambient humidity -- and in my experience it only produces the mucus in those conditions, which sadly is likely to limit its potential, at least without very significant extra breeding work.

Windows store did not fail as such, it is just uptaking slowly than Microsoft had hoped for.

In fact, if it wasn't for the current situation the world is on, Windows 10X would have had UWP/Win32 sandbox only apps.

Or on any salaries.

Debian's expenses are hosting, conferences and travel reimbursement -- and not a lot of that.

It's still not really a lot of money, though. As a thought experiment, if Google decided to donate $1 per installed Debian or derivative OS, I think that might double Debian's bank account.

That's a plausible funding slogan -- "A Dollar for Debian".
> I think Sweeney is correct, although I also think Epic tried to do the same. Their success with some of their games created capital that they used to create their own platform. Maybe as a defense mechanism or maybe because they wanted part of the pie.

I agree but people who are criticizing Epic for this are missing the real point. It is good if Epic can actually take a big chunk of the pie. Sure you could say they're being hypocrites, but from the point of view of users and developers, it's good to have more competition in the platform arena. Currently it's basically duopoly between Google and Apple. A new actor like Epic can change the dynamics and that is good.

The closer you are to the root of the tree, the harder it is to "build an alternative". It's the same for the road system, power distribution system, mobile platforms(Android, Apple), etc. I can't afford as a customer to buy a device just to play Fortnite, nor should I.
You're right about the application, but when you're done you have a screen that is more robust and doesn't have an inset bezel.

The desaturation and softness are (AFAIK) inherent to matte screen surfaces and the reason manufacturers nowadays tend to avoid them.

It's not 100% applicable, but it's close enough to the subject that I have to bring up this awesome Brian Eno quote.

> “Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.”
Woooosh !
Sideloading is not the goal. The goal is to establish another store front to sell games with. This is no fight to open up the device, it's a fight to gain profit.

In my experience, Linux repositories are all of the upsides you mentioned (trusted, auto-updated, signed (at repo level, at least)) with none of the lock-in downsides, since you can add third party repositories (and then use them via the same workflow you're already comfortable with!).

I've been thinking that the PC as an open platform was a "happy historical accident" that only happened because IBM lost its iron grip over the platform and failed to regain it because hardware clones and Microsoft were quick to jump into the opportunity that had presented itself because IBM didn't look for a second. And maybe Apple is looking at 80's IBM and is now afraid that the exact same thing may happen to them.

If this accident hadn't happened, the entire computing world would probably look very different. All the software giants like Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Amazon wouldn't exist because they couldn't have become big on a closed IBM-controlled platform. Apple might only exist because IBM let them live as the convenient underdog, same way as Firefox is being kept alive by Google to thwart off any suspicions that there's a browser monopoly.

Maybe PCs wouldn't exist at all and we'd be all sitting in front of IBM mini-terminals now, connected to the cloud running on System/360 mainframes.
here’s his paper that won him the prize. It’s long at 180 pages.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1303.5113

Wish there was something between a Quanta article and the paper that described his thinking.
This line of argument is incorrect: It’s not the AppStore that makes secure apps possible: It’s the mandatory sandbox that apps run inside that actually makes the system secure. It’s fairly easy to push malicious code to the AppStore but bypassing the sandbox restrictions is what keeps bad apps at bay.
The siren of a nearby village in the former GDR is still tested every Wednesday at 18:00.
It is the other way around though. I firmly believe iOS security is driven by preventing jail breaks and homebrew apps to protect their AppStore revenue.
Depends on the style of music. This year I made techno. I created the kick sound(s) I had in my head. Selected the other drum sounds and mapped out a really rough arrangement on pro tools. Then I applied all the reverb and compression to get it sounding at least reasonable. Added the non drum layers based on the initial idea in my head and then started to shape the sounds to what I actually wanted (fx etc). After I started to tweak to glue it together. The important thing for this process is to get to this stage as quick as possible before I forget the original idea. Sometimes I’ll leave it for a while and come back with fresh ears to finish it off and other times I get it done in a day or two.
Epic's platform is not a monopoly even if they successfully made one. steam is not a monopoly, even if they currently have a large market share, because the user is able to install their software outside of the steam platform.

Some games choose to not release on multiple platforms - but that's not a monopoly. And other games _do_ choose to release on multiple platforms, or choose to release independently of a platform. This means the best _game_ wins. Ditto with software.
While it can be trivializing to people who are truly depressed when the term is used superficially, you have to be careful not to assume that someones depression is superficial based on your perception. Just because someone isn't late stage clinically depressed doesn't mean they're not in some stage of that process.
I like the Linux repos too but I don't want some smart-ass dev to decide that since 95% of users only install from repos then I should not have the choice to install from a tar.gz or God forbid some unapproved content.

Alternatives stores could also provide sandboxing,review and maybe even better support.
That’s not inconsistent. Users can choose to use the Epic store or not. If they choose not to use it, they can’t buy games from that store, just like I can’t buy Trader Joe’s food if I decide to not use the TJ’s store.
We diverged a lot from initial claim of:

"total amount is not a relevant measure .." concentration.

That claim is incorrect - it is obviously possible to release tritium water without causing damage.

The actual management of Fukushima is a rabbithole, but if they spent years containing it, I dont think they will just flush it down a tube and call it a day.
I don't think those things are mutually exclusive in a given person, and may or may not happen at the same time.

I'm not sure I understand the question overall.
You misunderstand the case.

This is not case just about AppStore being only store. This is Apple misusing AppStore's monopoly position.

In many cases competition law allows single supplier, but they are not allowed to misuse their power. Epic makes three cases:

(1) Apple prevents other companies from setting up their own app stores;

(2) Apple prevents other companies from providing their own "payment processing" services in the market;

(3) Apple imposes an arguably unreasonably high fee upon sales in the market (30%), to the detriment of consumers.
Doesn't matter if you like or dislike Fortnite and the Epic Store, Tim Sweeney here is correct.

Doesn't matter if people like it or not, but freedom of choice must be given to users and developers alike.
Choice should not be an option, but a basic right.

The people defending Apple and it's walled garden of life remind me of Socrates and his "Allegory of the cave"
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave ). This becomes a philosophical dilemma unless you believe freedom and truth should be absolute.
I believe the current system for protecting iOS and its users could easily be split in two.

There could be two exit points from the review process. One would be for apps that don’t want to be on the App Store. They could be cleared as
free from malware, egregious behaviour, etc. and allowed to be installed through any independent means.

The higher level would be for apps that should be on the App Store. This means they meet the quality standards that Apple would like.

This would allow Apple to raise the quality bar for the App Store, while allowing indie development. Loading a non-app-store app could come with forced user acceptance flow, where you’re informed the app doesn’t meet Apple’s standards for user experience but has at least been checked for safety.

Independent app ‘stores’ would then be able to exist, and we’d have a compromise.

I disagree with the point about human validation tests being unsuitable for multiplication. Sure it’s a contrived example but even with more complex financial rules, you’re building the system for a reason and generally know enough example inputs and outputs to have these tests. If I saw some similar code that didn’t have these types of tests because the ‘machine is more capable at solving them’ I’d fail the review. How do they know it works then?
The thing is: the world isn't the US and China.

What if it was an European or Indian company?
> Epic Store successfully taking games exclusive

exclusive games aren't the same as a monopoly platform. Exclusive games is a choice the creators of the game made. A monopoly platform is when that choice isn't available. If apple doesn't want your app on iOS, they can remove you with no recourse.

If Epic doesn't want your game on the Epic store, you have the choice to use steam, or to go alone and distribute independently.
Two only choices of mobile OS, thats concerning for sure.
This seems like a reasonable idea.
I wish people weren't so quick to jump to this simplistic "who's the good guy and who's the bad guy?" mentality. It's quite possible for Epic to be a bad guy in their own right and still have a valid grievance against Apple, and it's quite possible that it would be better for a lot of smaller devs that this was changed even if Epic is doing this for their own bottom line's sake, not because they are altruistic.

Valve did the same if I am not mistaken you had to install their launcher to play half Life. Now Epic is fighting back with similar tactics and as long as they offer a better deal to the developers, same or better prices for user then I am Ok with it (I did not install the Epic Launcher so far but I claimed a free game just in case)

These days the benefit of 48kHz is that you get twice the frequency headroom vs 44.1k (from 20kHz to Nyquist), which means that any processing steps using oversampling and antialiasing filters (which you should be using) will either sound better, use less CPU, or both, since the filter has to be only half as steep on 48k.

But that's for intermediate processing, once you have the master you can convert to 44.1 one final time and that's that. One final sample rate conversion with modern algorithms will not introduce any audible differences.
He doesn't force anybody to use the Epic Store. Unless you want to play Fortinite (which is made and published by Epic Games) or games that have an exclusivity contract with the Epic Store.

This is much, much different than the position of Apple or Google. They don't have to pass an exclusivity contract with anybody since they have a de-facto monopoly on their device. Want you game to be playable on iPhone ? You need to pay Apple rate, you can't just decide to go an publish your game on steam or any other platform.

Nobody is complaining that you can't have iTune on another platform. But for third-party developer, it means that you have no choice but to agree with Apple and Google rates.
Granted, the situation with Google is a bit different since you can technically install another store, but remember that Microsoft was forced to stop pre-installing IE on Windows and offer user a choice of browser. I hardly see how this is any different than the current situation of Apple / Google.
