Good points, although the decision does bring in the anti-ABM research progression as well.

In that, if I am facing an adversary with sufficient ABM capability, I am inventivized to try technologies that moot that advantage. E.g. nuclear kamikaze UUVs/smart torpedos, stealth cruise missiles, short range/quick reaction strikes etc.

I think non-parity relationships are somewhat alien to us today, whereas the 50s and 60s were full of "someone could nuke someone else with impunity" periods.

And I guess I look at it as: MAD is preferable to a Pandora's Box future where sides are continually researching, developing, and deploying new weapons and reevaluating their relative advantage. Advantage in an arms race being especially troubling because it's use-it-or-lose-it -- e.g. the internal calls for the US to use nukes against China before they developed their own during the Korean War.

> Would you argue that we would be better off if we fought conventional wars without body armor of any kind?

It's absolutely a related question.

To some degree, yes. Or a corollary in whether it's just to fight wars in which one side uses drones/UVs and the other side uses people.

Modern wars end when one side's will to continue it ceases. And, for better or worse, casualties have driven that. What happens when one side doesn't take casualties (e.g. Yemen)?

It's been a while since I looked into this. The (simplified) AAAA at the end of a DNA strand gets shorter and shorter upon each reproduction, kinda like an aglet, holding things together until it is too short, and then the strands unwind and get knotted in counterproductive ways, creating unintentional proteins, etc, resulting in disease and eventually death. Our immune system typically notices this happening, and kills off those cells first. Eventually it gets out of control, and population density is maintained.

Evolution-wise, this kills off the individual sooner. Population-wise this maintains the population strength since it lowers the energy competition (food, etc) and keeps it balanced.
Indeed! They do throttle instantaneously. Which slows everything down, and stops the device from halting. This is what is being complained about.

You insistence on using scientific terms is misplaced in this case, as definitions are imprecise. This is not axiomatic geometry we are talking about.

For example, by some definition of species, many people with Down Syndrome do not belong to homo sapiens or any species really, due to inability to reproduce.

The closest definition you seek is DNA matching arguably is not favorable either because the syndrome causes severe DNA structure difference.

I've had similar thoughts. It's funny to me that it is possible to make a Diablo 3 clone in Unreal Engine without a single line of code, and yet simple two dimensional pages featuring largely consistent widgets (dropdowns, input fields, text boxes, scrolling, etc) is still such an unnecessarily massive undertaking.

I think web development is kind of a gateway drug into the rest of software development for a lot of people. New devs often start with Javascript if they aren't coming from a college, so I think there is definitely some value in keeping the web using hand written software (to not further gatekeep the profession), but I agree with you entirely. Web development, I think, is complexity for complexity's sake. I think people that master it are legitimately very talented engineers, I just wish engineers spent that time and talent on more interesting problems.

I am not speaking negatively about Javascript or front end development, I think it's incredibly difficult to do well and applaud those that pull it off. I just don't think it needs to be.

Thanks for this! Now I understand what geometric algebra refers to.

When people talk about it, it always sounds like a simple generalization of exterior algebra. And so it is. You allow a formal sum of a 0-form, a 1-form, and so on up to an n-form; instead of x∧x being zero, it's |x|². I assume the textbooks show how to do all this in a basis-independent manner.

Can you do the same thing with chains, and come up with an even-more-generalised Stokes theorem?

There are two things I don't get.

Why start calling things 2-vectors, when you could call them 2-forms and people would know what you were talking about?

Also, when discussing 3D rotations, the article decomposes a vector u as the sum of two vectors a + b, where a·i = b∧i = 0, and i is a 2-vector. I'm fine with b∧a, and I know that there is an inner product for forms of the same degree, though I'd have to look up how it works. But how do you take the inner product a·i of a vector and a 2-form? I'd guess this is an abuse of notation whose meaning is obvious if you're used to it.

DNS blocking was observed in both categories while Echo blocking was seen in the E-commerce category to a smaller extent.

Lol. Blocking kickstarter.com for G20? It must be false positive or ISP's DNS server is just suck.

Here's the difference: If I am paying for a thing, I have a choice. I am never presented with the choice over whether I want to get tracked online. Or between apps. Usually tracking is invisible and completely obfuscated in such a way that even if you want to know who is tracking me and what is getting tracked you can't.

I hear trunk and think telephony. SVN was always odd in going with the tree metaphor, as trees never really grow back into themselves normally.

Ask HN: Why is modern medicine so bad at holistic diagnosis?
I’ve been having some health issues for which I’ve had quite a few diagnostic tests over the past month. Since the concerns are in different parts of the body, each test addresses a particular region/organ and that makes sense to me. The good news is nothing’s been found so far. The bad news is nothing’s been found so far.

Out of desperation, I went to an acupuncture specialist and his diagnosis is that it is probably a nervous disorder which regulates multiple functions of the body. Suddenly, it kinda made sense to me. I’ve been dealing with severe nervousness and anxiety for a few years now and have detailed this to multiple doctors. However, no one has made the connection so far. Now I’m not going to stop regular GP visits or medicines, but I’m quite surprised that not one doctor or specialist had thought about the holistic aspect of my health. It’s always localised and when they can’t find anything, they just call it anxiety.

Why, inspite of so many medical advances, are we not able to see the bigger picture in a lot of cases?!

That's very strange, I had an opposite experience twice with my original SE (Apple store in NYC).

It similarly showed 80+% battery health, but I showed them the battery charge history in Settings (dropped from 40% to 0% instantly) and they replaced it under warranty.

Happened a year and a half later, exact same scenario, and paid the ~$30 to get it replaced.

I suspect they didn't have any monitoring to detect or log the shutdowns at the time. But I find it extremely confusing why different Apple stores would have such different policies or manager discretion.

Physical attacks are also popular: shoulder surfing is a given, but one coworker said their kid put a tiny layer of hand lotion over the screen to capture where they touched and then attack the code. Clever.
$0.99 or $1 is a pretty common price for small single-purpose apps or for an in-app purchase. I think it's fair to say there's no way Apple is paying anything close to $0.33 for those many, many, many transactions, losing $0.03 on each one. If I had to take a wild shot in the dark, I'd guess Apple is paying $0.05 to $0.10 for those.

Of course this is part of the problem: We can't even properly evaluate the situation because this side of it is an opaque black box.

Well, people always have examples of fail cases. My friend at Amazon was dealing with the problem of black socks being tagged as DSLR cameras. It would have been too soon to close the curtains on ML just because that's obviously wrong.

Same with bogus results in Google search. It would be a mistake to fixate on a fail case at the expense of seeing what it gets right.

One thing that can be said about Amazon is how data-driven it is. Even an obvious "improvement" to a system would require analysis to back it up as an improvement. For example, it might seem obvious to filter out lower quality user-created answers in the product FAQ, but answers with poor grammar might actually boost sales because shoppers trust the answer more.

Also, as we descend deeper into ML/AI and black boxes, the deeper we get into effects from afar. There's no real place to write if (user.sex == M) then weigh('tampons', -1) as it was a constellation of factors that cascaded into a man seeing tampons like that time he purchased something related for his girlfriend. The next rung in line is the business of mind-reading.
Technically speaking, they could have designed the battery differently so it's much more likely to last the full service life.

Acting this way was a choice, which may have been fine with had Apple not denied the issue and allowed replacing bad batteries under warranty.

Something I have been noting when working with this community is Purism employees actively helping the Pinephone community developers with software support/coding and vice versa. It has been awesome to see such cooperation between the two communities (and I think there is a huge intersection between the two).

It is something I think that is truly awesome to see, and like you said, it has been in the spirit of free software. I am hoping that with more folks with a Librem (and Pinephone), that the software will mature even quicker.

Everyone here is arguing past each other because one side defines "what git does" as the literal implementation details of git, and the other side defines "what git does" as the model it presents to the end user. I suspect the reason for this disconnect is partly due to the emphasis on understanding the "internals" of git and the fact that this is about between the internal implementation as it exists in code and the internal model/interface.
> There are no interesting formulas in a tensor algebra, because the whole idea of it being “most general” (every other algebra is a quotient) is that it has no relations. It is only when passing to more specific algebras (symmetric, exterior, GA, ...) that the subject really becomes interesting.

And yet you can still go a level further, with objects like those in Moon & Spencer's holor theory that include generalizations for transformation rules beyond covariant or contravariant, generalized connections similar --for example-- to universal Christoffel symbols, and effectively creating rules for tensors, pseudotensors and stranger array-like objects.
This is likely an over exaggeration, but software jobs will go the way of ibanking or law. Still highly paid, but not as lucrative as it is today.

Apple does increase your reach, the vast majority of customers would have no idea where to look for an app if they even had the desire to find one outside of those the big social sites create.

We don't know Apple's investment in the app store, from maintaining it to enhancing it. To blow it off as marginal is disingenuous at best.

I take no issue with app developers creating and selling an app off the app store. I don't think Apple should be able to interfere with that. I do believe they have the right to restrict another app distributed within the app store from being able to sell apps itself. That would be like Steam allowing Epic to install from its app to sell additional games/apps through the Epic store.
really? So WHO can use it then when not normal developers? Only Apple?
I can see manual app review getting costly, but Apple somehow doesn't wage war against free-to-user apps, nor they put limits or fees on excessive app releases. They're only upset when someone else makes money without giving them a cut.

This is exactly where most of the cost of operating the app store comes from. I'm not going to comment on how much of Apple's fees go to paying this, but testing software to release standards is expensive.

I remember 20 years ago, just to get started on a PS2 title, you had to pay sony a crazy dev fee just to get your SLUS code (I remember someone telling me it was about USD$50k). Then all of the devkits cost about USD$20k, and then sony still took a big chunk of your sales price.

How exactly would you like Apple to handle free apps, which still need to be tested and vetted? What if there was a $10k dev charge for each round of testing? How many free apps do you think there would be in the app store? Its true - all of the paid apps are subsidizing the free apps in the app store. If Apple didn't squeeze out other payment processors, every paid app would turn free, they'd use Square or something to sell people in-app purchases instead, and then the whole ecosystem would fall apart.

I guess another question we can ask is what are they testing for? Sony was exacting - there were strict rules about stability and content that had to be met. Your title couldn't stall on a waiting screen for longer than a period of time (I remember having to optimize our start-up on one title to meet this requirement). Even the terminology you used had to be correct - there was a list of acceptable names you could use to refer to the console parts like the controller - like you could call it "PlayStation 2 Dualshock Controller" but not "PS2 Dualshock" and stuff like that.

On the one hand, Apple isn't as exacting, but on the other hand presumably they're testing for other things you wouldn't have to worry about on a PS2 like calling dlopen on forbidden dylibs or sending the addressbook contents to a server. I'm sure that a lot of this is automated, but some of it will require a human to interact with.
