Victim mentality leads to the ignore mentality. If a kid learns that there are different rules for different groups of people and that the only reason it is in the victim group is something they can not change (wealth, race, gender etc.) then you end up with ignorance. Eventually everything is rigged against them and the only way to fight the unfair rules is to not playing by the rules anymore. That's how you end up with people stealing from "the rich" but they feel like Robin Hood. Like they actually think it is right thing to do. While in reality they should not accept being in the victim group, they should learn that they can achieve the same as everyone else and if someone tries to stop them they should not accept that.
They broke the TOS for the App Store. Did they break the TOS for "Sign in with Apple"?
While Apple originally said that, they have also said that they feel Epic's violation of the rules warrants a one year suspension of their account:

The professor's quip is cute but myopic. The pieces of paper are claims on future production so the true cost is seen later.

The end result was

- American Boomers got cars

- Japanese boomers got USD

- Japanese investors then spent much of the USD on things like US real estate investment vehicles (hardly Japan only, any country that collected large amounts of USD due to trade deficit)

- American Boomers in prime markets saw tremendous returns on real estate

- and American millennials 30 years later got priced out of houses

Yes I know foreign investment is not the only cause of rapid price growth in real estate. But it is a significant contributor.
Tidal Power? Though the ocean is not strictly at the bottom of the gravity well. And I assume that's not really what you're asking.
Yes, iOS has no crossplay restrictions.
Yes. We checked that all journals were full OA journals (so nothing like the scenario you just described here). So the timeline looked like this: OA journal was actively publishing > then became inactive, but the content on the journal website was still accessible > and eventually the website and the content disappeared/became inaccessible.

In some cases, we found websites (other than the original journal website) that now host some individual issues, but not all of the content.
> Obviously the entire thing fails if any node is powered off or has any kind of problem, but it's quite funny to do

Indeed it was funny enough to have that be a very common network topology back in the day. I've never had to investigate a token ring network failure but I can pretty much guarantee it was a frustrating exercise.
About 10 minutes after this submission made to the top of HN's homepage, it disappeared from the homepage
The vast majority of these deaths are due to internal strife, they weren't killed on the orders of the US.

In hindsight, the second war in Iraq was a disaster of course, but why blame the US for every bad part of the outcome? What about the Iraqis? What about Iran? If the US hadn't started that war, the regime may well have collapsed during the Arab spring.

As for Afghanistan, that conflict started well before US involvement after 9/11.

Indeed it was! This library produced easily discoverable UIs, it worked just as well with the keyboard or the mouse. The default layout was very pleasant.

From the developer's perspective, it was a joy to work with. I made some projects using pascal and C++ if I remember correctly.
Microwave beam, not magnifying transmitter.

AFAIK, Tesla's theory about how to do wireless power transmission was to use a specially modified absolutely gigantic Tesla coil (a "magnifying transmitter") to resonate the electrostatic sphere of the Earth; spark-gap radio and lightning strikes, only tuned to resonate.

It remains unclear to me if this was ever actually attempted - Tesla's original attempt, Wardenclyffe Tower, was never completed and AFAIK no-one has since attempted it.

None of this has anything to do with this attempt in NZ, since it's a beam, instead.
I don't think it is incompetence. It seems more like laziness. Everyone is on their phone or trying hard to get back to their phone and small mistakes are adding up.
Games can have stores, marketplaces, platforms, and other arbitrary interactive stuff running inside of them, whereas movies and songs are more or less functionally identical in technical capability (although it would be funny if Netflix put a subscribe button inside a free movie to bypass Apple!)

Amazon didn't cut a deal, you can't subscribe to prime video in the app without using Apple's IAP payment system. You can only subscribe outside the app.
I have a Dasung Paperlike that I use and it's been pretty great for my eye strain. For most developer workflows it's good enough. Latency has never been a problem for coding, I think its around 10-16 fps. There's some residual ink that gets left on screen, but I don't notice it at all anymore. Obviously you can't do any color work or watch a video, but other than that I almost never have to switch to my regular screen. The only annoying part are all the cables that have to be set up to work (it requires both a USB and a displayport simultaneously).
Apple makes $500 million a year on app store search ads (they expected to make $2 billion this year). It's crazy that you pay 30% of every purchase to be listed in a store -- but that means nothing -- you still have to pay to be visible.

You have people in this thread that are shocked anyone would side with Epic because they obviously broke the agreement but on the other you have people amazed that you can justify paying hundreds of dollars in markup per device, then be charged 30% for any software, and then developers still have to pay annually for access and pay for visibility. And even attempting to tell users cheaper ways to pay isn't allowed. It's like people desperately want to chuck all their income at Apple like dollars to a stripper.
The judge ruled there is no irreparable harm because it's trivial for Epic themselves to repair the harm at any time that they themselves caused.
Sounds Great! Thanks for Lean Startup it helped save me from spending years developing a product without a market.
Is it fair to say that the weather patterns are becoming (more) chaotic? In the exponential-sensitivity sense.
So it sounds like we agree then; the second hand market can be quite dodgy and you need expert help to be sure you're not being ripped off.
I'm the guy who created the ORIGINAL system what Apple selling as "Sign in with Apple". [My system uses the industry standards like OAuth2. Apple ditched OAuth2 just to steal my work]

This EPIC GAMES ban isn't "personal" as you all think.

If Apple don't ban "Sign in with Apple" for epic games, then Apple is very much screwed. That's because I wrote the patent claim in such a way.

This is my patent claim: https://www.domboxmail.com/assets/images/apple/claim11-12.pn...

This is the result.

https://www.domboxmail.com/assets/images/apple/swjs2.png

I'm afraid to tell you that "Sign in with Apple" ban on EPIC GAMES is just only a BEGINNING.

If you get banned from the "App Store", you cannot use the email address you collected via "Sign in with Apple". Period.

This is a blog post I wrote to warn the developers few months back. https://www.domboxmail.com/news/apple-copied-our-product

Someone who had gone through my blog post shared the blog post in HackerNews 4 months back. Our wonderful Hacker news users flagged the post, because they all believes Apple is a wonderful company.

> 1. Encouraging developers to build new properties, particularly properties for low- and medium-income tenants

You forgot to mention zoning law which restrict the supply of housing a lot, much more than any wheeling and dealing cities may do with developers.

Supply is simply not allowed to increase in many areas. It is not a free market, it is government controlled and the priority is to preserve/increase the property values for existing home owners, and restrict where people can live by income. Talk of affordable housing does not come anywhere near making up for the restricted supply in cities due to zoning.

There are other countries that have a much different approach to zoning, there's ideas like land value taxes, etc.
No blame, just numbers.
I agree with you that a billion-dollar company is practically necessary to fight Apple on issues like this.

What I don't like, though, is that Epic are trying to portray themselves as the little guy fighting for the users' rights throughout all this, as seen in the "Nineteen Eighty-Fortnite" ad. They're being dishonest in their self-image, and that taints my perception of them because I wonder what else they're being dishonest about.

You definitely have heard of some of their investors :)
> On the traditional balloon model, the surface of the balloon represents space itself...

For any still confused, there is also a 'raisin bread' model (which I prefer because it's 3D, unlike the surface of a balloon). The raisins are galaxies, and the bread is the space between them. As it bakes, the raisins get further apart, even though the raisins aren't moving through the dough.

(Although galaxies also have movement through space, this isn't what is causing them to get further apart.)
The rate of expansion is speeding up. If it continues to increase, eventually it'll have observable effects at interstellar scales, and even interplanetary scales, and ultimately tear everything apart in the "big rip". Note that I'm omitting a lot of context here, there's a lot of other factors which make the big rip scenario much less likely.

Also, the age of star formation will eventually end. Stars will stop forming somewhere between 1 trillion and 100 trillion years in the future.
The rest of the U.S., munching on almonds and avocados, doesn't see the interconnectedness of it all. There's only one earth. California isn't on Mars.
There's not really anyone who isn't affected, or anyplace to go to escape.
This is just pedantry. Don't get me wrong, these are interesting questions, questions that should be asked and should be thought about, even if the answers are likely unknowable. But taking issue with the age of the universe because we don't know what existed before isn't useful.

Age is a relative thing. I say I'm xx years old based on the date of my birth. But I existed as a fetus before then. I existed as an ovum before that. I existed as stardust for billions of years before that. Perhaps I can mull over what it means to exist, and when "me" came to be, but when I have to enter my age while filling out some form I'm not going to write a philosophy essay. For practical purposes I am xx years old, and for practical purposes the universe is 13.7 billion years old.
I run at a nearby state park several times a week. After running past litter for months, but doing nothing about it, I decided to take two handfuls of trash to the trash bin during most visits. After barely inconveniencing myself by picking up trash on my way to the parking area, months passed and I've thrown away more than 500 pieces of garbage! Doing a little bit over a long period of time can really amount to something substantial. It barely cost me any effort. I've stopped collecting since the pandemic but it seems like others are doing their part and helping keep an understaffed, heavily used park clean.

That looks super handy! It seems like it'd be possible to "port" to VSCode. Some other comments mention autocomplete in VSCode, but it'd be nifty to run something like this directly in the VSCode UI.
Having a hard time groking what exactly LTSE does differently.

What are the specific features/differences between LTSE and other markets?

Will companies listed on LTSE be listed exclusively there, or also on other markets?
> It's amusing that people think Epic is doing this for the good of anyone other than themselves.

It's amusing that people defending Apple have trouble understanding the difference between effects and motivations.

The issue of why people who aren't Epic want Epic to succeed has never been about why Epic is pursuing the endeavour.
Well, we're not talking about the Macbook here... we're talking about the iPhone.

As far as the MacBook goes, it's a different target market. MacBooks are targeted for professionals that do all sorts of things with them.

Instead they are beefing up the iPad, which has the same target market as the iPhone. That target market doesn't care about all this crap and just wants their tech to work.
This is untrue. Their harm was of their own making which was why the Judge dismissed their injunction:

> The Court finds that with respect to Epic Games’ motion as to its games, including Fortnite, Epic Games has not yet demonstrated irreparable harm. The current predicament appears of its own making. Epic strategically chose to breach its agreements with Apple

How can purposefully violating someone's contract be a prerequisite for bringing a lawsuit against the organization whose contract you're violating? Where is the legal argument backing up "They needed to do it this way"?
That webpage says a tech demo is due 2024, with launch in 2034 and the constellation would reach 550AU by 2064, so probably a lot of how this will work is still WIP.
Thanks for releasing this. I've been looking for a Mailplane alternative for a while, ever since Gmail started becoming a resource hog when they forced everyone onto their new interface.

Is there a chance you could recompile this to support 10.14?

I'll most likely not be upgrading from Mojave for the foreseeable future, until my 2013 MacBook Pro stops working and I'm forced to get something new.

We found that in some cases, some of the published articles are archived through the Internet Archive! (Yay!) Unfortunately, this doesn't amount to complete issues/volumes and seems to be by chance.
The closed ecosystem with essential services is also a closed ecosystem that runs games. It's also millions or billions of peoples' primary gaming device. iPod Touch exists almost solely to play games on.
The fact that you're using the actual radio at all puts you in the minority of new car buyers. Pretty much everyone I know under 30 just plays music or podcasts off their phone (which is an even tinier touchscreen). I don't see that trend reversing anytime soon.
All it's showing is that breaking contracts has repercussions.

If you abuse a service, and they cut you off, you don't get to cry about them enforcing their rules.
agreed. it is surprisingly exceptionally good at profanities and vulgar languages.
This is patently and simply false; if you view home ownership data worldwide, you'll see distinct patters of more home ownership in countries and localities in which the building, sale, and ownership of homes is encouraged by the government, oftentimes protecting it from the exploitative practices of capital accumulation. US home ownership is low relative to its wealth, lower than former communist blocks. Best system my ass.
I think this is cool! It reminds me of how Ferrari did a very similar thing with the dabs of yellow paint they used to mark bolts that had to withstand intense vibration:

It should be available in New Zealand. Can you try searching "Tappity" on the app store?
OK, we have a meter stick. It's made of pure iron and, for whatever physical reasons, it is 1 meter long exactly.

After some time, the scale factor of the universe grows, so that 1 new meter is 1.05 old meters. But, by hypothesis, as this happens, our meter stick contracts, so that it ends up being just 0.952 new meters (= 1 old meter) long. Why? Did the physical laws governing iron atoms change so that they pack more densely than before?

And if so, why do all particles pack at exactly the same new density? Shouldn't it differ from molecule to molecule?

The US courts have consistently held that it is perfectly legal to do anything to your privated owned things that are not public.

Your house example is wrong, because that has public viewing concerns on a plot of land.

And your car example is incorrect. I could make any changes at all to a car, that is not put on public roads.

That has nothing to do with the manufacturer putting restrictions on your car.
I don't see that as a downside to Epic . Some games on their storefront are exclusives and ones that are available elsewhere often have the same price?*

Isn't that an argument to get rid of the App store? EVERY game there is exclusive- there's no other way to buy it for iOS. And it's a bit tautological, but games on the App Store will never be able to undercut prices of competing stores on the platform because there aren't any.

*btw I don't totally agree with the implication. Even though many games cost the same as Steam, many of them also don't. Even if only a subset of games is cheaper on Epic, that's a win for consumers.
Be careful what you wish for?

No seriously. This seems like it's about to come true in a not so pleasant way.
I just got 200Mbps down on 4G. Granted it’s late at night and I’m in an office building by the highway next to a grave yard and a school, but still.
That's a great question
I legitimately don't have any in mind. I just have zero faith in humanity, and assume loopholes will be exploited to follow the letter of the law, but not the intent. I was wondering if they've thought about that and what his thoughts were about it.

Edit; The only one I can think of, when it comes to rewarding employees is what if a company uses contractors (or gig workers if you use those words), and therefore not defined as employees?
So will expansion accelerate enough to eventually be a stronger “force” than local gravity?

I don't think I've changed. I'm pretty forgiving. For example, I could have the other person involved in the legal situation issued a $300 fine, but I'm not reporting it. I also understand people make mistakes, which is why I contacted to officer involved to give him the correct information and ask that he make the correction to the citation. Instead he was complacent and said even if it's wrong he won't change it and we have to go to court. I could file a professional complaint against the officer, but I'm not.

So there's a lot of stuff I could do against people, but I'm not. I'm trying to give people the benefit of doubt or correct their mistake, but they are making it very difficult.
Thanks for the additional context, the numbers are even more astonishing when compared to the median income

The US has secret courts, secret laws and blacksites where torture and murder is allowed with no consequences. I don't think it's a given that Assange would never be transported to one of them.

The fetishization (despite the massive reduction in the percentage of the population who have served) of the military in the US makes it really hard to take a strong stance against the MIC as a politician (aiming for the presidency, representatives and some senate seats have more freedom here).
The problem with this logic is that every company is going to set up their own App Store. Microsoft, Epic, etc. Then for every app that I use right now on my iPhone I would have to source from several App Stores. It will make my experience very cumbersome.

It's worse than that. The Taliban is as strong as it ever was and there weren't groups like ISIS before these wars. Al-Qaeda had hundreds of members before 9/11, ISIS had tens to hundreds of thousands. Our "adversaries," generally people (admittedly not the nicest people) who want their sovereignty, have grown exponentially.
Office 365 is completely new and different.

If you’re ok with the apps, then it provides a ton of value for a fraction of the price others do.

I mean, Slack itself is almost as expensive as O365 which offers Office (online and offline) and a ton of other apps and features in addition to Teams.
I'm not who you're responding to, but you've responded to my posts on this topic. I think, what they're trying to illustrate, is that Haskell is still an incredibly niche language. Sure, yes, there are jobs at a handful of big names, and then a handful of not big names and companies that found their success using it. But if you were trying to maximize your employability or open up new doorways in your career, you definitely wouldn't pick Haskell as the language to do that with.

Separating "I like and use Haskell" from "Learning Haskell will amplify your career and employability" is, I think, what they're going for, and I would generally agree with. "The exception that proves the rule" is a thing, after all.
