> Self-signed applications are treated as if they're radioactive by macOS, too.

But not if you turn off Gatekeeper! I can understand how this is annoying if you're creating apps for other people, but in terms of my own personal experience with my computer, the only time I think about Gatekeeper is when I'm talking about it on HN. It gets turned off as part of a bash script I run after installing macOS, at which point it's gone for good.

On my list of annoyances with macOS, Gatekeeper is somewhere below the Library folder being hidden by default. I can't say what Apple will decide to do in the future, but I have a very clear line in the sand, and Apple has absolutely not crossed it.
It’s quite likely Apple still wants Python.framework to be available (which is not deprecated) and it’s easier to upgrade the whole thing.
Joe average doesn’t want to sideload apps. That’s what people don’t understand on here.
I’ve been looking toward building a new house and it seems the latest and greatest concept is the Passive House which seems to be an incredibly airtight envelope combined with a fresh air system to exchange air that includes a heat recovery system. I am left dumbfounded, as you become completely reliant on this technology which may break down or (more likely) fail to perform to spec or (even more likely) be spec’d incorrectly or incompatibly relative to future uses.

It seems to me it would be far better to have large thermal masses and radiant heat, and then allow for the usual air loss around windows and doors and attics.
Anyone here have thoughts on this approach vs Passive House?
The YouTube recommendations have been onpoint, and I'm a huge fan of it as well. I have found new channels I really enjoy but randomly get some extremely left/right wing US political content, but I just hide it (I'm Australian).
I think it would be more sensible to fix the education system than to appoint uneducated people to government positions just to increase the representation of poorer people.
It heavily depends on the courses you pick. I'm a full time employee (9-5 job) but no family and I usually dedicate a hour or two of my mornings and early evenings to the course as well as a couple hours every weekend, but I pick what others consider to be the more intense courses (compilers, distributed systems, operating systems). I also go all in on these courses since you get out of it what you put in.

This site is very accurate when it comes to the hours per week breakdown on courses: https://omscentral.com/ You'll see that some courses are drastically easier than others, the more intense ones being more rewarding. In all, you can make it as hard or as easy as you want and pick your courses that way. Having the BS in CS (I do) helps since you may recognize some of these topics from undergrad.
My point is that it's a problem loong before you reach tens of MB, once you leave the dense cell towers and fast hard links found in a city.

I have mixed feelings about this, but what if someone bankrolled this lawsuit? eg paid out to the author and pursued the case on their own. In the event of the author's death the suit still would continue, while the author gets the money they need immediately. It would change the incentives for Disney.
This would not be huge, because iOS devices don't stop getting updates for 6-8 years, by which time it is very unlikely that third parties would bother making a special browser app just for that unprofitable 0.1% slice of the market.
Corporate lobbying is not the only means by which regulators are captured. The revolving door between industry and regulatory agency is another and removal of that suggests a problem: do you want the regulations governing an industry to be made by people with no relevant experience? No, then they will hire people from the industry they are expected to regulate and those regulations will benefit established companies.
You can't determine the toll being a content moderator will have on you. How are you supposed to determine whether the job is worth the salary? The true costs come later. This suggests a legislative approach to the problem but, good luck. It was hard enough for California to define "contractor". I doubt this approach will be fast, accurate or effective enough.
The asset in this case is a license agreement. By choosing to publish the licensed material, they're agreeing to pay royalties. Otherwise it's theft.

Otherwise what's stopping me from selling my Disney BluRays to someone but not the liabilities of adhering to the copyright agreement?
This is the tip of the iceberg.

We already knew that governments censor Human rights and leaks proving war-crimes and false flags. Even the UK puts journalists in prison.

But today it has grown to the censorship of Doctors and Scientists, because they have better insight in what is really happening than the governments. That is because the governments are guided by lobbyists.
That's the one - thanks!

A corporation is the instrument of its shareholders. The shareholders are the ones pursuing unlimited profits. Joel Bakan's argument makes it seem like humans -- people -- who own the corporation are blameless.
What does this have to do with economic education (the article is from the Foundation for Economic Education)?
It depends on the courses you pick. With your Math MS, you might actually do really well in the Machine Learning/AI courses that they offer. The projects are mostly in Python and a lot of students do not have a CS undergrad, so you won't be alone there. https://omscentral.com/ is a good resource if you want to see per-course reviews on what the courses are like or how much programming you do. The systems engineering courses (compilers, distributed systems, operating systems) are heavy in C/C++, but the machine learning courses are heavy in Python (AI for robotics for example, which is a great course). You can go to Udacity or Youtube and check out the videos if you want to try it out.

Steve Blank How to Keep Your Job as Your Company Grows
. . . for example: "open debate" will accomplish nothing, if we are continually spending time debating whether or not racism and genocide are immoral. We fought wars over this.

I am very much for "free speech" - but at some point, you have to shut certain topics out of reasonable debate, because at the end of the day, if we have to keep debating things like this, we've learned nothing.
I have a friend who works for the big four in M&A. He said there's a rush of deals with explicit EOY deadlines because of the tax environment uncertainty. I can't imagine this doesn't play a major role in all of the IPOs happening before EOY as well.
Steve Blank shares his personal journey, and I believe that many people could relate to it: "[...] I literally paid zero attention. In my righteous anger, I was unreachable. [...] What I wish I knew was that if you’re an early company employee, it’s not likely that the skills you have on day one are the skills needed as the company scales to the next level." -- One tip worth trying is to ask yourself how x10 would look like: people to lead, projects to manage, risks to handle, decisions to make etc.
HN self-policed fine back when caustic takedowns of incorrect comments were normal/expected/rewarded. But in the dang era of "comments must be nice" you get more upvotes by regurgitating HN-friendly views quickly based on the headline than by reading the article, so of course people respond to that incentive.
Can anyone from Apple or an iOS dev chime in? What is the screen time limit supposed to do? Are apps required to abide by it, and these ones are circumventing that somehow, or is it optional for the app to shut down?

This seems fixable, either on the dev side or with better communication about how the feature actually works. There's no reason to dupe people.
In other words, you love and love paying for literally everything about Apple's platform, but you still haven't figured out what you are paying for, and you think you should get all the benefits of that platform (including the benefits accrued by it being a walled interoperable garden that doesn't suck), magically, even if you want to use other hardware and other platforms.

Sorry, but it just doesn't work that way.
Has there ever been a successful union for unskilled labor?
I agree. I mean, were I not a skeptic I'd be walking around dropping the interesting tidbit that "Norway blocks match.com" - it's as bad as the info-memes with nonsense on them people quote from facebook.
Hi, first author of the paper here. We also consider this as part of the increasing arsenal of smart-home attacks, which can be opportunistic and long-term. Also given that it's an offline attack, as signal processing / machine learning methods improve, perhaps the lidars signals an attacker collects could eventually become intelligible audio.

I was also surprised that they don't have microphones. I guess the developers would prefer to have that on the companion app instead.
You can’t sever the asset and the obligation in this case because royalties are contingent on licensing the author’s intellectual property. With no licensing agreement, there is no asset.

On the other hand, the only wrinkle that might make this interesting at all, is the fact that all the works in question are novelizations of others work, for which either Alan Dean Foster himself had to license or created at the request of the licensor. I don’t think that materially changes things but then I’m not paid like a Disney lawyer.

That really depends if the business scales or not and what the end goal is.

20k of revenue and almost no profits for a business that won't scale isn't that great. That being said, it's infinitely better than the 0k a month you get from not launching something.
Exactly what I came to say.

It's an entirely reasonable assumption given that the OP said that they've a _budget_.
Zero sympathy. Just as I would have no sympathy for a carpenter who carves a baseball bat, sells it to a mob boss, and then asks the mob boss for a share every time he extorts someone with it.

If you're in Australia, find a therapist using the thing I built: https://www.oktotalk.com.au . If you fill out the questions, the site might be able to recommend you someone good straight off. Otherwise one of our staff will help you through the process. We try really hard to bypass that "I tried 4 therapists before I found the right one" thing, and get you in with someone right the first time.

Here's the 80/20 of getting the most out of a therapist, drawn from watching thousands of people get great results over the last 5 years:

* talk to several therapists on the phone for 5 or 10 minutes first. You're going to be hesitant and uncomfortable, it's their job to put you at ease, they're the professional. You'll learn a lot quickly about them, and about the mental health process. If you have an uncomfortable 5 minute chat, you're going to have an uncomfortable hour, so skip that therapist. Go with your intuition, either say "heck yes" or "no".

* make a plan, work the plan. Write out your goals. The way to do this is "present situation" -> "desired situation". Everyone forgets the "desired situation" because they've got so much negative mental energy tied up in "present situation". Anyway, take your goals to your therapist. Put a circle around the one you need to address first. Insist that it gets addressed, or 6 sessions will go by and you'll realise the only change is to your wallet

* ask for homework, do your homework. You're in therapy an hour a week and out of therapy 167 hours a week. Your therapist can't compete with that. What you do outside therapy matters greatly

* if after 3 sessions you haven't established a good working relationship with your therapist and seen a bit of forward motion on your goals, get a new therapist. It could improve but statistically it's unlikely. This is an evidence-based cut-off.

Mental health is health, stay healthy!
The big question to me is whether Hawking radiation is actually a real thing? I mean, the hypothesis is interesting and the math seems to work out, but at least according to that page there is no experimental evidence yet of it actually existing; we have some experiments that might provide some data about the existence of Hawking radiation in the future, but as of now it seems just an unfalsifiable hypothesis. Is there any observational data that requires Hawking radiation to explain it? It's not my field, so I really don't know and I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Does it make sense to worry about paradoxes created by black holes evaporating, if we have no evidence that they actually do evaporate in our physical reality?
The goal for the investors isn't to increase market share though, it's to increase profit. I'm questioning the assumption that market share and profit are directly, and linearly, related. The average smartphone price worldwide is around $300 [1]. I don't have access to the full report at that link, but with the graphs shown, some significant portion must be below that price. My naive assumption is that market share in the top end is the most important, with a movement into the lower end eventually leading to the destruction of the perception of quality that they seem to work hard for, and operating costs that would cut into profits. \shrug\

Valve's strategy is actually the norm for the business world in general. The more business you do with a supplier/platform, the cheaper your unit costs get. If you're a small business buying 100 widgets, the price per widget is a lot higher than if you're a big business buying 100,000. Same with normal SaaS - try calling Stripe and asking them for a fee discount on your $100 revenue/month app vs. asking them for the same discount on your $1,000,000 revenue/month app.

The reason Apple doesn't use this normal model is that the mobile app market is completely screwed up - you get exactly two real choices for distribution if you want to make any money at all as a small developer.
Sure, but that’s a cost of capital discussion not a “fees are higher for bets with higher likelihood of winning” one.
The good news is - partly as a result of this, anyone can get a genuine battery replacement by paying $79 to Apple or an AASP. If you have a phone that's an iPhone 8 or later, you can definitely skip upgrading this year and get a battery replacement instead.
I think they could hire very skilled people from poorer countries for like 60K USD / yr

Disney's contractual obligations to pay the originally-agreed royalty aren't copyright-dependent.

On top of that, these kind of contracts often come with a 'flagrant breach of contract means that copyright reverts to the original author' type of clause.
Any time telomeres show up in relation to aging I question it's relevance. I've never seen any causal connection, only correlation. Is there any solid evidence that short telomeres cause aging or that lengthening them actually does anything?
I made a small article about how to investigate the truth about something.

https://saidit.net/s/Solutions/comments/50i5/how_to_investig...

The first steps are: 1) logical fallacies 2) the scientific method .. And I think that these should be part of basic education.

Then we have 4) possible fraud/crime 5) bias 6) Unknowns. Which help to understand the limits or problems with different conclusions.

And 7) solutions. is how to work towards a common acceptable solution
For reference, the actual message they added later, which should have been included at the same time as the performance limiting feature:

"This iPhone has experience an unexpected shutdown because the battery was unable to deliver the necessary peak power. Performance management has been applied to help prevent this from happening again. [Disable…]"

Which still isn't perfect because "performance management" is such a weasely way of saying "reduced performance", but it's a lot better than nothing.
His agent should get him somehow to be part of the RIAA. They seem to have the right kind of lawyers for this level of bullshittery.

I find royalty issues interesting because when I was a kid, my mother worked for RKO Radio Pictures. One of her tasks every so often (quarterly? yearly?) was to send checks to everyone involved in the film King Kong.

Some people got hundreds or thousands. Some people got pennies. But everyone got paid. She make sure of that.
Not to mention even these tiny "worthless" projects end up having value because they are FUN TO DO! :D

Thank you -- that's very kind.
The tables says that Nim is both portable by default and with effort. C only portable with effort.

This is weird, because Nim (AFAIK) still requires a C compiler like GCC or MSVC to do the final compilation.

In fact, you can see how your Nim code is translated into C, something like this: nim c helloworld.nim
>You just bought a light bulb? How about a dozen others?

Ironically, this suggestion is probably driven by real-world behavior. Whether your bulb fails due to age (and you'll probably need replacements for your other similarly-aged bulbs soon), or an electrical problem caused the burn (and you might need another replacement soon), or you just want to stock up, having your exact bulb model recommended also saves you a little time on having to check it yourself. :P

I think a lot of "wrong" recommendations are actually right for other users, which seems to be just what you're saying -- they annoy one user but result in more sales for others. From the company's perspective, these recommendation systems are working as expected.

On the bright side, that also means in their best interest to improve accuracy (and drive more sales for more users, instead of just annoying them). Hopefully new tools like Nvidia's announcement result in fewer annoying ads.
Both the previous reply and this sound more like convoluted motivated reasoning towards the desired outcome - that the author gets paid. I'd love to see the author get paid too! But I don't think these are particularly strong analyses of what looks like a complicated contract case. As far as I can tell, nobody (in thread) had as much as checked the copyright ownership. But I'd love to be wrong and learn me a thing or two!

all that said, i think the big screwup here is that the SoC only supports two displays where the intel chipset supported three or four. only being able to drive a single external display (after years of supporting multiple) is pretty bad, i doubt jobs would have let that one slip...
