Why does the proportion matter? Yes, more casual gamers entered the scene - this is to be expected as computers before more accessible, but the number of people willing to play complex strategy games has overall gone up.

> The whole appeal of the phone is the secure cohesive experience not the hodge-podge setup of the PC for example

I doubt non-tech people even know about the walled-garden or the anti-competitive practices of both companies, they just buy their device based on features, screen and camera and that's it. Just have a look at a mainstream phone review video on YouTube, only those points will be detailed.

To consumers it's clearly the next area of computing. Smartphones are even fully replacing computers in developing markets. To developers however, it's an unhealthy market owned by two uncountable companies where they could be banned from at any point very easily.

There's multiple angles where the current situation is an issue, there's the anti competitive nature of the market where an increasing chunk of the economy is based on but there's also the limited propriety rights of the owners of the phone.
> > A game deployed to an iPhone could theoretically be acquired through an alternative app store or just direct download.

> This is false; unless theoretically means there's no concept of "money" involved in our world.

I am fairly sure that Apple has already produced a general purpose computing device that also requires applications deployed to it to be compatible with its CPU and to be built using APIs designed and built by Apple, but nonetheless lets applications be acquired for it through other means, including direct download.
Actually in console world it's exactly the same, see [1]. Sony even pockets the same fee - 30 percent - off every DLC transaction.

If you do this it's worth noting that gh-pages, and Netlify's free tier, and probably others, cap egress bandwidth at 100GB/month. For a project like this one that's fine (it only downloads a few meg) but hitting HN and Reddit could easily burn through all that on a bigger project. If you care about that it's worth using something like Cloudflare as a frontside cache.
> Also, I don't understand how millennials aren't supposed to see this figure and immediately feel a sense of rejection

Millenial here. 100% agreed with this. Feels like a big blind spot in the boomer crowd. They don't seem to see the seething, roiling, overpowering resentment their entire generation is receiving from many, many people that currently don't have much power in society.

A politician wants to win office, and lower the probability of a civil war.

Recognizing politicians historic-low approval ratings, a politician would propose something radical:

1. Make student loan debt equal under the law to any other form of debt

2. Implement a national zoning system similar to Japan's zoning[0], eliminating the housing crisis, rolling back a century of racist and exclusionary laws that ruin lives and act as an enormous drag on everyone in the country. Hundreds of millions of Americans are now richer and much more at peace with each other.

Said politician would instantly win the popular vote. Unfortunately, these policy positions are at odds with power brokers in the USA, so no politician will ever seriously propose these policies, or they'll get to office, and be informed that these policies are no longer going to appear in their speeches.

The interface is nice (from Javascript; it's impossible to write something type-safe in any language where you like to care about type safety); the protocol and implementation itself is horrifying. Some of the protocol's handshaking gymnastics was necessary 15 years ago when you couldn't rely on there being a standards-conforming Websocket implementation, but those days are long gone.

Documentation is sparse, and when you find some docs, half the time it isn't clear which (incompatible) version of the protocol they're talking about.

Source: I was working on writing an interoperable server implementation of socket.io a couple years ago, and it was way more work than it should have been.
Not always a decision to raise the kids. Up until a month before I married ex-wife she had worked in a good career. She went on leave a month before the wedding, never returned to that job or any meaningful career. We were childfree and she was choosing to work part-time because she had decided she didn't want to work much anymore.

This was not my decision and it was a huge stress to the early part of our marriage. I had the whole financial burden of the couple, and I didn't even have a house wife since she wanted 50/50 chores.

Luckily my country doesn't have alimony. I do pay a significant amount of child support despite having the children more than her but it doesn't bother me too much.
Compared to energy loss over distance, which you don't really have if you dig your hole right next to you, it's more like 6 orders of magnitude, maybe less.

But maybe capacity is only part of the story. What about locality? Distributed energy storage may not be as efficient, but it has a lot of other benefits.

I do not believe that Tesla is suing people who resell Teslas.

I’m no iOS dev but I work in the tech field and am well into the ecosystem of Apple but also follow the company both in podcasts and online and am fully aware of the walled garden and it’s a feature for me it a bug.

Also, I get the sense that people are trying to impose OSS-isms on Apple when they both have no power to and also Apple has no reason to abide.

So this is not relevant at all but I thought I would share anyways. In high school I wrote a 30 page business plan on selling World of Warcraft guides. Keep in mind that WoW at its peak had more than 11 million players, all of which were paying around 14 dollars per month. Youtube, wow wiki and other sources of information weren't popular yet, so knowledge spread mostly from person through person. One of the many reasons people were already willing to pay substantial amounts for guides

Shouldn't they be judging the actual art, acting, directing, etc., and completely disregard the genders, ethnicity, and race of the actors? Wouldn't that be the best for such an award?
Yes, I'm aware (I've implemented a WebRTC stack before); I didn't think diving into the finer details of SRTP would be necessary at this point.
The first Civilization game sold 1.5 million copies across all platforms. Super Mario World, which released in the same year, sold over 20 million. So things really haven’t changed all that much. Casual gaming will always have a larger addressable market.

Even otherwise, the crux is that the entire gaming pie has grown substantially. There are lots of new genes and platforms which have become popular, but demand for games like Civ has grown as well.

How interesting, more and more activity? year by year
I was definitely in this camp earlier this year. I had traveled solo to La Palma in the Canary Islands (part of Spain) in March to enjoy some of the most scenic outdoors anywhere during the day, and work remotely in the evenings. When lockdown occurred, I was boxed up all alone in an apartment with a nice view of the beach 25m from my window, but I was unable to go outside for exercise. [1] I got grumpy and irritated and anxious from being so isolated very quickly.

Sorry to be blunt, but am I correct that this is a measure against tampering with servers by Chinese intelligence during the customs process?
In that case, are the CPUs themselves signed or could they be replaced after modifying the motherboard?

Because otherwise it's really hard why the website would claim that every end user would be enthused about these lock-ins. Sort of weird statement.
A cursory look at the AppStore would tell you the reader style apps similar to reddit, Twitter, etc. are not banned. In fact, there are already multiple HN readers in the AppStore, including OP's app. Obviously the situation is not caused by Apple's policy but an individual reviewer. Mistakes happen and they are fixable when people are involved.
I have a similar opinion. I have seen this news in other websites and I think the article sentence should be approached in other way.

- First Sid is not in his 20s anymore and he probably today has other games or genres he likes more other than complex strategy games. I speak for myself i used to love Starcraft, AoE and RPGs on my teenager years, nowadays i can only get myself to play action games. People change over time, plus some games need more time to get them to work than others.

- Considering the whole video game market. Games like Civilization are still played by many people, but not a huge hit like Fortnite, COD or League of Legends. There is no question there are still people looking for complex games: See Dota2, Escape from Tarkov or even BR games but games like Civilization are still hugely profitable ? I doubt, and video game publishers of course are interested in high profitability.
Lets not forget about the mobile market where a huge number of people like to play mostly casual games, for natural reasons.

- As he said, back in the day it was the perfect game to be done in that time. PC gaming got better and people were looking for an immersive and complex game. Nowadays there are several titles which offer the same.
The three numbers are:

> Care in-line with guidelines hovers at 60% as shown by large empirical studies of multiple conditions in adults and children in the USA, England, and Australia [2–6]. Some 30% of care is waste, duplication, or of low value, according to several authoritative sources including Berwick and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) [7–10], for which considerable expenditure cannot be justified. And many studies have documented how iatrogenic harm or adverse events befall at least 10% of patients globally [11–15].

The article also says this:

> Consider for a moment, if civil aviation, car manufacturing, or the software design industry achieved 60% reliability of service delivery in commercial passenger journeys, new motor vehicles, and just-released software programs. Imagine further if these sectors had a 30% inefficiency rate when producing their outcomes, and they harmed 1 in 10 of their customers. This would not, surely, be tolerated.
I’ve been playing the Nintendo Switch port of Phantasy Star lately, and there are some parts of the game where it’s not 100% intuitive where to go or what to do next (eg: hidden passages that look like walls in first-person view, asking an NPC the same question multiple times until they give a different response, etc.).

I really like the game’s charm and character, but there are elements that likely are more meant for a child playing over her summer vacation in the 1980s rather than an adult millennial in 2020. Being able to quickly look up the next step has been a huge boon to enjoying it for me. I’m thankful for those GameFAQs writers putting the time in!
Worse than the fact that those holding the fort would leave, the best of those would leave (either to another company or just as often to the exciting new projects) leaving behind those that can't leave and very rapidly you end up with a not that great group which management doesn't notice or deal with.

Yes, I think that would be a valid way to bypass the protection.

With physical access you can bypass just about any protection given enough money and time. In a data centre context, the damage you can do is rapidly minimised by rapidly increasing the amount of capital and time required to access more of the DC.

The more important change is that without this feature, malware could theoretically install itself into the firmware without requiring physical access. Now it should be just about impossible to break the chain of trust without a person physically tampering with the machine.

Note: I should mention that I think this is such a massive double edged sword (maybe double edged shield is a better term). This lets you build a threat model that accounts for everything up to physical access. This however also has such a massive opportunity to be an incredibly anti-consumer feature that I fear to see how it will be used. I wish they would have required a physical switch to enable/disable the feature. I do however understand how adding such a feature could complicate its implementation quite a bit.

I said a few weeks ago this is exactly the way apple would want the conversation to go. That apple is asking for 30% is uninteresting (even reasonable!) That they’ve sold the world a PC many people can’t leave which they can control (to the point of deleting apps and data!) is what’s absolutely insane about the situation.
It's an unspoken foundation of far leftist thought that people don't have beliefs, they have influences. Any art you make is merely an expression of your race, sex, sexual orientation, et cetera. For decades academics have been saying that all white people are subconsciously, inescapably racist. This is the result of that foundational belief.
Mine is newer than that exploit so no. But also a flaw in the implementation doesn't invalidate the reason for implementing it in the first place. Anti theft features on android and ios have likely saved hundreds of thousands of phones from being stolen, if not millions.
Many of these projects also falsely assume that there are enough abandoned mineshafts or other types of holes to convert into a battery storage system. They have to do this because you would see through the scam immediately. Digging a wide and deep hole is expensive and not economic unless there is something valuable at the bottom of the hole.

There is also the fact that weights are expensive relative to the energy they can store so you have to take them directly from nature (usually via dams or pumping water uphill).
Sure, that's fair. I was more talking about it being better to name the type a particular thing, rather than encoding the type in the variable name.
But countless employees have such a low productivity, they can double it and still not reach their peak capacity. I know many developers that spend the majority of their work days just staring out of the window.
From what I read, John Deere harvesters have lower error rates and better efficiency than domestic machines which makes significant difference in cotton production.

On DRM note, wonder if they're going to be forced to disable existing machines in the region. That would be interesting. I think half of the cotton production occurs in other provinces, so there's a loophole for more parts and supplies if hacktivists can overcome geo locks or other restrictions. Maybe John Deere will be incentivized to sell DRM free systems.

The concept is quite obvious and has been proposed several times in the past. The key question is, what are the costs? Even if the costs for drilling the hole are written off over a very long time span, the wires that hold the weight and the machinery have constant operation costs.
It probably can't compete with pumped storage, but pumped storage isn't viable without at least some hills. This concept could be deployed in many regions, also wouldn't take much surface space, you could deploy it even in densely populated regions. The question is: how does it compete with e.g. batteries?

Really. Bringing my 1½ year old kid to the (heavily subsidised) kinderdagopvang in the Netherlands is a no-brainer. He gets to play and mingle with other young children and enjoy himself tremendously, and we work from home. Professionals take care of his needs, and there is not a moment of worry as far as we parents are concerned. It's also only 500m away, so I get some fresh air too when I bring and pick him up by bicycle.

I remember that the web was very usable with a 133 MHz CPU, 32 MiB of RAM, a 3600 RPM hard disk, and a 1.5 megabit (0.128 megabit up) connection.

That budget Android phone blows away the hardware that I was using. A quick search for the Samsung A50 tells me: "on Verizon's network in downtown Manhattan [...] average data speeds of 57.4Mbps down and 64.8Mbps up". That is 38 to 506 times faster. It has an absurdly fast 8-core CPU running at 2300 MHz. Ignoring the fact that MHz is a terrible benchmark, that is a factor of 138 faster. The RAM is bigger by a factor of 128 or 192. There isn't really any hard drive latency on the phone.

Yes, the web is slow.

The trouble is that browsers make no attempt to stop web sites from using infinite resources. The assumptions are that web sites will politely cooperate to share my computing resources, and of course I couldn't possibly want to actually use tabbed browsing to access lots of web sites, and we all discard our hardware as electronic waste after just a few years.
But non-developers have no idea about that, let's be honest. Just open-up a mainstream Youtube video about the latest iphone and check whenever they talk about the app review process (hint: never).

> Also, I get the sense that people are trying to impose OSS-isms on Apple when they both have no power to and also Apple has no reason to abide.

That's why we need anti-trust investigations to both Google and Apple, having a good chunk of the modern economy relying on just two companies which don't even appear to have any competition pressure is just unacceptable.
All of the examples are things aimed at technically skilled users, which is a pattern you see very often with successful ope source projects.

RasPi is obviously aimed at developers, Blender also covers the more techy part of the 3D world and 3D printing as a whole are a very "techy" hobby. We are willing to accept certain shortcomings (price, UX, stability...) in exchange for other things we value (openness, repairability, being able to hack on it...) - the average person doesn't care about any of the latter. Free software can at least win some people over on price, but hardware can't be free.

I am yet to see a successful open hardware project aimed at the average consumer. System76 is as close as anyone and even they mostly target developers, with maybe Fairphone being second, but neither are even close to the market share of even the smallest of their competitors.

To be clear: I love all of those projects, do what I can to support them and really hope they keep going, I just don't see them competing with industry giants any time soon - and maybe that's a good thing.
