To kill simply means to put a living thing to death. A fetus (human or otherwise) is a living thing. I don't know what the purpose of your link was, or how it has anything to do with the misuse of words above. Unless you think I'm implying that all forms of killing are the same, which obviously I'm not. That being said "killing <animal> fetus" is merely a subset of "killing <animal>" by basic logic. Were you implying otherwise by citing that link?
That is best practices already for app store developers, as it's much simpler to transfer ownership of an app store account as part of a sale of app to someone else when you haven't blended multiple apps into it.
Yeah sure, let's just blast that silicon with some focused ion beam to overwrite the public key that the bootloader is signed with. It's that simple, right? Everyone could do it.
Except consumers gets to choose between Buying from Amazon and Walmart.com, or many other smaller E-Commerce Marketplaces.

Also Note 15% fee from WalMart and Amazon includes many cost and delivery.

Some comments likes to use Freedom or General Computing devices as argument. I think those are beside the point. The question is for most consumers right now, and in the future, are Digital Market Place, Smartphone and Apps considered essential as part of our daily lives. If true, the questions becomes if one company holding 50%+ of market shares and 70% of Total Apps Revenue in a market that has near monopolistic market power requires some form of regulation.
The Risk of Believing in Easy Software Development
I don't take offense, but thanks for your genuine concern.
I feel like somebody's watching me :p
This seems wise.

I made the same move away from Google about 5 years ago. It took me a year or so, mostly because it took a while to unthread Gmail from everything.

That we can do this means we do in fact have a choice.
>Propaganda is vulnerable to open discourse, promoters of false information are handicapped by the flaws in their arguments. The only way it can flourish is censored away into manipulative misdirection and secretive groups.

This is repeated so much it is practically a meme at this point, but is there anything to actually back it up? Especially when users have the ability to control what they see. If someone is in a bubble of disinformation, it doesn't matter how many voices outside the bubble try to debunk those claims.

It seems like a more effective approach would to be to work on preventative measures so people are never exposed to these harmful beliefs rather than wait until these beliefs are heard and then try to convince them they are wrong.

As a vscode user, I opened up pycharm to see if I like it at all. It asked if I wanted to update ideavim plugins and I said yes. Now looking at ~200% CPU usage for about a minute. Still can't open my folder[1].

There's nothing I hate more than work software that I have to tinker with to keep working. Maybe it doesn't deserve the reputation it has for being a resource hog, or maybe it does?

Those frameworks still depend on their APIs though.
They could scale costs based on how many downloads if they really wanted to. Make an exception for totally free apps.
It's merely an accident of history that we have general-purpose computing at all [0], let alone anything like FOSS. It wouldn't be hard to imagine a universe where all consumer computers were locked-down appliances, and general computing was limited to a small number of credentialed researchers and professionals. In such a universe, similar claims would be made about the only purpose for general computing being piracy, crime, etc.

At any rate, while I'd prefer fully open devices, it's also a false choice: strategies like Apple's code signing on MacOS could allow for authenticating binaries for the purposes of detecting piracy/malware, without requiring a monopoly on distribution.

I remember those classes in VCE. Unfortunately a lot of people interpreted it as a class on "how to be persuasive" (as a writer) rather than "how to avoid being persuaded by propagandists" (as a reader).

We were taught common logical fallacies, and then tested on how well we could spot instances of them in a news article. But I remember also being asked to write persuasive essays, without being taught how to reason in a way that avoided those fallacies.
phones/tech are of course a problem if you don't set limits. But to me the biggest issue is not being able to connect to your kid. I have a 4yo and he loves to play on his tablet, and he even plays some videogames with me. But I try super hard to do other things with him as well, and try hard to enjoy them as much as I can. We play (non-digital) games he wants to play. We build legos. We also started playing some tabletop RPGs that are super simple for kids and he loves them. He asks me at least once a week to play (we actually always play the same scenario and he doesn't care, he still has tons of fun).

The parent in this article is struggling with too many things at the same time: kid becoming a teenager, tech, and lack of connection with your kid. Having kids and growing them to healthy human beings is super hard. I wouldn't blame the daughter's behavior to any single thing, it looks more like a combination of multiple issues. Hopefully they both can find a good path moving forward.
I have waited on this phone since I pre-ordered it in 2017. Worth the wait and I'm happy to have contributed financially to all the hard work that has been put into making a much better linux experience on mobile devices in general, not only the Librem 5.
My anecdote is that Facebook got really good at targeting ads at me. Once I actually purchased 4 things from FB ads in a short time, I realized I had to quit. Going on 2 years now FB free!

I don't see it as a problem. Innovation is accelerating with new business models and so on. Adoption curve for new technologies could be occurring quicker as well thanks to social media (easier to "spread the word" about new products/services/technologies).

I don't see it as a problem because all of these companies have legitimate products/services, legitimate customers and legitimate cash flows. This isn't another dot com situation we are in. There are very few companies going IPO with just an idea. ("we're going to use the proceeds from this offering to build an online pets store called pets.com")

It is easy to say "its the stimulus" or "its the fed" but I think there is more going on at a fundamental level.

I think it is simpler than that even. Imagine the scandal if some content moderator working from home copied over and saved child porn he found during moderation, and perhaps even redistributed it. Doesn’t even have to be child porn - could just be e.g. sexting messages between adults.

> Can you get the material for free? Almost always, yes. But it takes time to find the right material, and our time is valuable. [...] The authors of these books have spent time organizing the material in a helpful way that you would otherwise need to spend.

This is one of the best things about books.

Yes, I can find all the material on the web, sometimes even all at the same site. But web writers usually cannot resist the temptation into putting in a ton of links, turning the material into a directed graph.

There will usually be many ways to reach a given node, some that reach it before you have read all the prerequisites.

There is often no good way to know if you've actually visited all the nodes. You might have taken a fork 10 nodes ago, and the other branch goes to places that nothing in your branch links to. Unless you remember that you need to backtrack 10 nodes and try the other fork, you miss all that.

I want the author to figure out what order I should visit the nodes to get everything there in a good order for learning, and then provide a way for me to effortlessly follow that order.

With a book, that's easy: start at chapter 1 and read to the end. A web site could do that, but for some reason most do not.
Change is coming, Apple can feel it (which is why they made this PR move), Epic can feel it, some devolepers can feel it (complaining about Apple and Google a year ago felt like talking to a wall), yet some people on HN can’t feel it, or just plain refuse to.

It is about time Apple gets pulled down to Earth and faces scrutiny like all other major companies do.
Agreed on k-12 maths, but the analysis of persuasive techniques was actually taught quite well and comprehensively, at least when I went through school (finished in 2011).
Phones are addictive. But we can't just call that the beginning and end of it.

I read books on my phone. I've probably read hundreds of thousands of pages, I've got a library that is a very respectable size on my phone. Is reading them a sign of addiction to my phone? Or is it the same as reading paper? Am I just using my phone as a tool?

I don't take pictures except to document things. I don't have any of those social media accounts people use to share photos or videos of themselves or whatever. I see women (and men) on the beach (or elsewhere) who's goal is to get a cute photo. I feel like they're wasting such a wonderful experience on a narcissistic persuit.

But I spend hours on sites like this one talking to other people. Talking to people I don't know, people I do know, people I only know online. Sometimes about stupid stuff, sometimes about interesting stuff. It's not something I use for passive entertainment really very often. If I'm pondering life, making bonds, questioning my own beliefs, is that as simple as a social media addiction? Is it constructive?

I know I am addicted to my phone and the internet in general. And it has detrimental effects on my life. But it has been very intellectually constructive for me. I have expanded my vocabulary quite a lot, I have learned to articulate my thoughts very well. I have learned to write code and about quantum particles and I've read research papers. I've talked to some very interesting people, even some very important people. So is it all bad?

I think the trick is to not make it your life. Go outside, dig your hands in the soil, grow something. Immerse yourself in the moment where what is going into your senses is not curated by you or someone else. I do a decent job of not touching my phone when I'm out there. But I'd say I haven't struck that balance quite yet, because I don't go out there enough. I used to go out there every day and get dirty. I need to do that again.
I'm in the same situation. This used to happen often, years ago when they first introduced GAFYD, and I haven't had an issue in a long time. But looks like things are reverting back now.

To be depressingly fair, Hitler was never (and is still not) universally recognized as a "bad guy".
Yes, but that choice is getting harder with time. What happens when home automation and car automation is also controlled by these tech giants?

What if some day your account was banned because you said something against the "community guidelines" of Apple? Will your car, phone, TV still work? Will Apple buy them back?
I remember some Microsoft people sued due to PTSD:

https://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2017/01/12/microsoft-sued-b...

I'm not sure exactly how this works in tech. I know lawyers who have worked on child abuse cases and they had tight restrictions on the evidence. Only the trial lawyers could request access. No paralegals, no sectaries, no copies. Only select Lawyers, the jury and the judge could view the evidence, and it was all controlled by the Justice Department. (I knew a lawyer who refused to look at the evidence, only the descriptions, because he didn't think he could handle defending him otherwise. He did successfully defend him though).

I suspect for Microsoft, they have some preliminary hashing algos that automatically send known media to a particular people with the same Justice Dept exceptions and controls for chain of custody. Other people may see content of course, but it would likely get flagged and shipped to people who were authorized to deal with it. You don't want a lot of people on that list obviously, but when it's just a few people, they get a constant stream of nightmare fuel.
I'm not the one you're replying to, but here's how I think the Overton Window works.

Everyone has a personal Overton Window - the set of ideas that they think are reasonable and acceptable, even if they personally don't agree. When most of the personal Overton Windows approximately align on a particular topic, then we have society's Overton Window.

For example, think about gay marriage. 50 years ago, maybe even 20, 95% of society thought that gay marriage was clearly not acceptable. That meant that 95% of society agreed with 95% of society's personal Overton Windows on the topic, and so we had a clear society-wide Overton Window.

Now we have maybe 30% of people who still think that gay marriage is clearly not acceptable. We also have 40% who think that gay marriage is clearly in bounds. Of those, maybe half (so 20% of the population) think any doubts about gay marriage are clearly unacceptable. There is no position which a large majority of society finds acceptable. (All numbers made up, but I think they're in the approximate neighborhood.)

The society-wide Overton Window didn't move. It shattered.

Let me assure you that, in general, dogs are way better people than humans.
Well, Google and Facebook engage in effective censorship already - which, while not massive-scale, is still aggressive (depending on where you're standing I guess). And and that kind of covers the world's democracies.
Hahaha, touche.
Clever. Add a UI to Google Pay, and suddenly you have a not-obviously-creepy justification for retaining and mining all payment information forever.
No, they tried to do in app purchases within the app.
Yes realistically speaking. Of course if you switch to a competitor things aren’t going to integrate as well. Perhaps you can immerse yourself in that ecosystem.
I cannot disagree with a single word in that article.

I would also go further and mandate that all general purpose computing devices should be forced to have an unlocked (or easily unlockable) boot loader so you can easily acquire full control over your device and even install competing OSes.

They're all gone. Vanished completely from the website. And I was half-way through!!! Now they link to somebody's youtube channel for random Tailwind stuff rather than the nice walkthrough/tutorial that were the originals.
Its impossible to not be fallacious in any meaningful discourse that goes on long enough, and that's okay.

Every single invocation of an expert is an argument from authority.

Every single invocation of logic like "it is more like nature therefor it is more good" is a naturalistic fallacy.

Do we even need to get to other ones like "appeal to emotion"?

Maybe we should instead recognize that "logic" does not necessarily describe reality (given that there are an infinite number of possible logics based on which axioms you start with), and that being worried about and trying to avoid "logical fallacies" in our reasoning does not help us see reality more closely to how it is.
Show HN: Video-input, an HTML element that acts like a video form field
Yeah except compatibility like that has never been a legal requirement and I’m not sure how it could become one either.
Apple's reluctance to fully supporting progressive web apps makes me think they see PWAs as a real threat. As long as the APIs continue to mature, I could see PWAs being the the thing that breaks down the gatekeeper wall for apps and returns the web to being open again.
Even if a bit of additional information is needed it'd be nice if this was made public and documented such that developers and modders could use it outside of those with tight nvidia deals.

Their website literally just says "contact your developer relations contact".
> When the margins of victory in several states are so small, this seems to be merely conjecture.

Your conspiracy theory is based on the assumption that tens of thousands of votes can be cast fraudulently and matching records without anyone noticing, let alone leaving any trail, and that this can be pulled off on such a massive global scale and so uniformly and stealthily that it just resembles real votes cast by real people.

Isn't that a little bit incredible?

I mean, the only objective statement behind that conspiracy theory is that you feel the wrong candidate won the elections. That's the whole basis of this whole election dispute. The rest of your argument derives from there. As the wrong candidate won then there must have been a conspiracy to get votes for that candidate.

What really boggles the mind is that these absurd and totally idiotic conspiracy theories sprang up after we saw an incumbent openly sabotaging elections by barring people from voting, by putting up barriers to mail voting, by purposely degrading postal delivery services to force votes from being shipped, let alone counted, forcing votes out because of technicalities such as delays in delivery and counting, and more eggregiously arguing in public that votes on his competitor, and only those, should be simply thrown out.

But somehow that doesn't raise questions. What raises questions is if voting normally could be trusted.
Not fine for a company to sell you a device on their own terms?
I could have written that article about my own daughter. To those of you suggesting that "maybe it's the schedule", you are wrong.

I got my daughter to sit with me and watch "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix, and she still wouldn't leave her iphone alone. I could not believe it. Her exact behaviour is being acted out in front of us, and she's busy maintaining her streaks. I pause the show and "Really? Are you seriously using your phone right now?"

She's totally addicted to snap. so much so that she will even make little snap poses during a normal face-to-face conversation, which prompted me - the first time I saw it - to say "Did you just pose for a snap photo?" to which she embarrassingly agreed that she had.

Just as the author of the article related, my daughter cannot be without her phone and exhibits many of the same behaviours described in the article. Sounds like we've had the same arguments.
My parent was saying that the generator of risk should always bear the liability, which confused me because there are many situations in our society where a third-party agrees to take it on in exchange for a fee. I described car insurance, as one of those situations.
I thought I was the only one thinking similarly on HN
Some people debate the ROI of pandemic controls. Also, not all lockdowns are pandemic lockdowns. There have also been curfews unrelated to the pandemic and in some cases predating it.
> That doesn't make alchemy a sub-field of Newtonian Physics

No, but it does make it part of "Newtonism."
I love how here on HN this is being painted as if it were some heinous underhanded move by Apple.

Meanwhile in my Twitter thread, every single Indie developer I follow is over the moon about it.

Whatever the end goal here, Apple is helping the smallest developers the most here.

And yes, there are a lot of places Apple can do better, but the cynicism around this is overblown.
Harlan Ellison on Social Media (1993)
> Create a template partial or JavaScript component

The parent comment was specifically about not using components.

But you use your Bootstrap/Tailwind utility classes in JSX. Now your styling is tightly-coupled to your component again. Isn't that just CSS-in-JS with more steps and less power?
> Most importantly, Google Pay will never sell your data to third parties or share your transaction history with the rest of Google for targeting ads.

I seriously doubt this, but I find it interesting that they address the elephant in the room in the launch announcement.

I wonder how many other Google launches will note this as a perk before the hammer comes down from up high?
> I'm saying that if someone finds the word "master" offensive in this context, they want to be offended.

Inverting this, it reads as:

> No one could possibly be genuinely offended by the word "master" in this context.

You are incorrect. Many are genuinely offended. Some of them are commenting here on HN.
Why? If someone wants to offer that it’s fine. But to force it is an unjustified intrusion into the market.
As far as I know credit card companies have always sold transaction history - Google must surely be buyers of that data already. I’m sure this is intended to make that data flow more direct for them though, and easier to link it to a Google account this way.
> 2. I hate the new website, sorry.

I've spent way too much time trying to find the screencasts that were there yesterday and seemed to have disappeared completely. Now they link to somebody's Youtube Channel. How the hell am I supposed to complete my WorkCation app now?
The API of the neural engine is closed for some reason.
$100 probably is also a speed bump for open source developers who do not want to charge users.
Piracy sites? That's strange. Why would Norway block sites like: http://t.ly/TdrE ?

I'm sure you got it wrong and what they actually block is Ninja sites.
Except neither is true.
When I say "irrationally offended minority", I mean "minority" as in a small number of people, not "minority" as in racial minority, although I see why they isn't clear given that I use the word in two different ways in my comment. Most of the people I've seen get offended for trivial reasons are actually not a racial minority at all.

As I said, if a significant number of people are offended (or if a small number are offended for a good reason), we should probably change our language. But if it is a small number of people getting offended at a word used in a context where it has never been offensive, I don't think we should accomodate them.
First, Epic is hardly a no name developer. But secondly a great deal of apps work like this both big and small. The limitation is you can’t make purchases though an app by say asking for credit card numbers or put purchase links to your website from the app.

There are well known and detailed App Store rules about this stuff, if you want details just look it up. For example all those 2 factor authentication app fits this model where it’s meaningless to download the app without a subscription.
