Neither do I.

But then, plenty people still work for Big Tobacco. Many do so voluntarily, not just because it's their only viable option. The trouble is it comes down, in large part, to ethics and morals. And we don't all share the same moral compass.
No idea, but linux has had raw sockets capabilities for its entire existence and the internet continues to exist.

People have the ability to put arbitrary packets out on their network interfaces. The fact that some operating systems don't directly assist you in doing this is not a security feature.

Why is it a death sentence not to have the play store?

I don’t see why Epic couldn’t create their own gaming focussed device, and buy a bunch of exclusive titles including their own content.

If their store had better terms than Play, and accepted APKs, why wouldn’t other developers want to sell through it?

If the argument is that developers are desperate for better terms, it must follow that they would want to support a store which provided them.
In another post on HN today the users overwhelmingly agreed that "Yes, social media should censor stuff".
Yeah, they've thought of this. It's called structuring, and it's a crime[0].

Side note: I see this kind of response a lot on HN. Whenever a precisely-defined law or regulation comes up, there will be the inevitable tricksy engineers pointing out a bug in the program. Except they haven't read the whole program, but only a couple of stanzas. And it's not actually a program. It's not being interpreted by a computer, but by people. At a certain point, rules-laywering will get the actual lawyers to tell you to get out of here with that.

Repeating something I've written here before: Your adversaries are people, not bash scripts.

Why is Microsoft not in on this? Apple didn't allow Xbox Game Pass, while Samsung was proudly showcasing gaming on their phones on it.

They seem to be the most hard done by unfair Apple practices. As far as I understand, they are not allowing the gaming service at all when it for all intents is nothing different from Netflix in principle.

I certainly hope Microsoft joins in on this and not cut a side deal, it will hurt other devs in the long run.
Looks like South Dakota.
You’re putting your entire staff in danger by keeping this individual around. This is absurd and wildly irresponsible. Tough situation to be sure, but needs to be dealt with swiftly. Take care to protect yourself as well.
This take is as reasonable as any other.

A musician wants to make more money and Spotify fails to pay according to that desire and the comment is rejected?

A developer (or megacorp) wants to make more money and Apple fails to pay according to that desire and now we're in a legitimate discussion?
That's not really true. Working at a big company like that usually leaves you with very little visibility into anything except your small domain and whatever news the company publicly releases. Sure, you can watch the news, if you aren't working yourself to death. But if someone is paying you bags of money every week, it skews your perception just a bit and changes what you want to hear.
Yep. And why are iOS users more willing to pay for mobile apps than Android users? Because they know that Apple keeps app vendors on a short leash.

Apple has a monopoly on non-shit smartphones precisely because of their restrictive policies.
Major feature for who?

I don't think saying to Hebrew/Arabic programmers "sorry, this product isn't for you because it would require a large amount of effort and we can't support it" is an unreasonable thing for a small shop to do. Yes, Apple and Microsoft and Gnome should support RTL because it's important for someone to do it, but there's nothing wrong with saying "this product isn't designed to solve all problems in all languages".

Having an alternative to the App Store doesn't mean you have to stop using the App Store, or suffer any reduction in quality in the apps available on the App Store. Nothing changes for you in exchange for more freedom for others.
This is fascinating.

It's not about neural networks struggling with the game of life. It is much more subtle than that.

It's that the training algorithms are not able to reach the optimal network even if such network has already been found by hand.

But, it's also a great opportunity. The Game of Life is a simple enough algorithm that we can use it to fine tune NN training algorithms until they can start training with much better initial values for the weights.

I wouldn't look at it that way.

A company running on premises probably has a mindset that is okay with dealing with all the things related. And it probably operates at a scale where it can save a lot by not moving to the cloud. This is often jut not understood by a lot of people.

A company embracing the cloud doesn't want to do that and is just interested in services. They don't want hosts, they want service endpoints.

There are a lot of developer-centric companies for which operations and operational work is definitely not a core of the business, and have no interest in getting operational work and know-how in house.
Can you explain what blocking services like XCloud and Stadia has to do with security or privacy? Many of the policies are about a pure money grab.

This quote from Warren is completely divorced from the current legal reality in the US. Using her definitions it would be impossible for retail stores to have store brands, and then there would be a question about whether stores that only sell their brands are allowed as well. Clearly, since Walmart, Costco, Dillards, etc can have store brands and can pick and choose what items to sell at retail, I don’t see how her quote can be taken as anything other than a hypothetical policy position.

I have nothing but good things to say about this group of people.

My personal interactions were mostly with Sindre Aarsaether, several years ago. Absolutely brilliant and genuinely caring human being.

I have recommended Scrimba to everyone who's asked me how to learn to code since the first time I tried it.

It will blow your mind the first time you see it, there's no possible better medium for learning and explaining software IMO.

---

Edit: Side note, check out Sindre's work on DOM reconciliation, schedulers, and general performance. The way that Imba was written is incredibly unique for a DOM framework and the render capabilities + performance are absurd. An order of magnitude faster than React/Vue etc.

Also, I seem to recall something about the Scrimba team helping Ives from Codesandbox out with some JSX-parsing black magick for performance.

At least with tobacco there’s good evidence of chemical dependency on nicotine. That IMO is what distinguishes that from whatever moral panic people are into at the moment.
This is your opinion. In many parts of the world, criticizing a piece of accessibility equipment as unprofessional is likely an HR violation, and probably grounds for termination.
> They are almost always a source of distraction, people start to argue about the analogy itself instead of the topic at hand, which is almost always completely counter productive.

My experience is that this is very true among a certain group of people, particularly literal-minded software enngineer types. But it is much less true in the general population where a single good analogy can accomplish more than pages of prose.

Consider at least keeping a logo in a corner, or perhaps as part of a title bar on each slide or a few key slides (title, intro, outro, first in a section). It makes it seem more official (should be a minor thing, but can be impactful depending on the audience). When presenting to peers, my simple presentation slides were appreciated and accepted. When presenting to management or other teams, I had to make those additions or it was thought of as a draft or hastily assembled.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to tell me but I’m certainly aware of these facts already.

The Hindenburg was blown up with a bomb. The flames in the film are kerosine. Trotting out the Hindenburg weakens your case, because no H2 lofted dirigible suffered an unassisted ignition event.

The boundary, if there is any, also has to coincide with an ignition source. Furthermore, the ignited bit needs enough fuel around it to build a chain reaction.

So you like having only 1 app store for convince. I get that.

But there is an legitimate argument to be made by those who do want it. The lack of competition is probably hurting you too, in the form of higher prices for everything.

What does blocking XCloud and Stadia have to do with security and privacy? Many of the policies are about money while destroying developer freedom.
On the surface it sounds pretty outrageous. My question would be though, what should Facebook do instead?

A recommendation engine is just an algorithm to maximize an objective function. That objective function being matching users with content that they enjoy and engage with. The algorithm has no in-built notion of political extremism. It almost assuredly seems to be the case that people with radical opinions prefer to consume media that matches their views. If Bob is a three-percenters, it's highly unlikely he'd prefer to read the latest center-left think piece from The Atlantic.

Unless you're willing to ban recommend engines entirely, the only possible alternative I can see is for Facebook to intentionally tip the scales. Extremist political opinions would have to be explicitly penalized in the objective function.

But now you've turned Facebook from a neutral platform into an explicit arbiter of political opinion. It means some humans at Facebook are intentionally deciding what people should and should not read, watch and listen to. Remember Facebook as an organization is not terribly representative of the country as a whole. Fewer than 5% of Facebook employees vote Republican, compared to 50% of the country. Virtually no one is over 50. Males are over-represented relative to females. Blacks and hispanics are heavily under-represented. And that doesn't even get into international markets, where the Facebook org is even less representative.

The cure sounds worse than the disease. I really think it's a bad idea to pressure Facebook into the game of explicitly picking political winners and losers. A social media platform powerful enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to destroy everything you value.
Sure, Big Tobacco is still a thing. However, their actions of targeting kids/teens were curtailed. The money they were forced to spend on ad campaigns informing teens of "smoking is bad" appears to have worked. Current reports show smoking in teens has dropped significantly, including current downward trends in vaping as well.

The biggest thing you go do to hurt the likes of FB,IG,Twitter would be to brand them as lame and uncool. If people don't want to use it, then it effects their bottom line. Gov't action isn't require for this, but the right campaign attacking the cool factor will motivate people away from it. (I'm currently wearing my positive thinking cap)
> It needs people like me, who care deeply about this "niche". But people like me are a dying breed. You can have (the illusion of) a "secure" platform, but eventually you'll be left with nothing except apps ported from iOS. At that point, what's the Mac except an extremely overpriced iPad?

The implication here is everyone that's a Mac developer like you shares these opinions, that Mac-native software is going away due because developers are being pushed away by these minor hurdles. More likely, native software's going away because web-based technology has gotten better and better, and for most companies it's just more economical to be cross-platform with something like Electron.

What does it mean for spacetime to have density?

I could say that a small sphere is denser than a large sphere because the distances between points are smaller on average, but that requires the spheres to be embedded in something with a distance metric(Euclidean 3-dimensional space).

This is terribly myopic; you don't have to like FB or want to use it to recognize its influence. Consider the possibility that you just haven't really wrapped your head around it yet. Also, I'm gonna guess you don't know a whole lot of older people, and may be falling into the cognitive trap of thinking your experience of social demographics is reflective of the population at large.

Hydrogen embrittlement leads to hydrogen leaks. Unless there are advanced alloys that resist it, any aircraft part that comes into contact with the hydrogen will be subject to accelerated 'wear'.

Frankly hydrogen planes are nonsense. Even if it works on paper, it's not realistic to expect all the extant planes to be rapidly phased out with brand new planes with exotic designs that aircraft manufacturers, pilots, and airlines don't have any experience with. On the other hand, old planes can be retrofitted to burn biofuel and new production planes of old proven designs can be made to burn biofuel from the get-go.

'Concept planes' like the ZEROe are basically just science fiction meant to wow shareholders and give the public the impression that legislative reform isn't necessary because corporations are already taking the problem seriously. I don't think these are serious proposals, it's just corporate propaganda. Car companies pushed hydrogen cars for years for the same reason. Hydrogen fuel cell cars were never going to happen for a myriad of practical reasons and car manufacturers knew it but promoted the concept anyway for PR reasons. ZEROe is Airbus doing the same.

We all have different opinions, so we're never going to get everything in this world to adhere to the same ideals. If you don't like Apple's approach as a consumer, use Android. Some of us like that Apple locks things down very tightly and want it to remain. It's not a perfect solution, but neither is Google's approach, so it's nice that there are two very different options.

> or distribute our hard work to others without having to implement it 5 different ways.

Even if Apple allows sideloading, this problem will still exist.
