Has the joke flown over my head, or have you conflated the words "conflate" (confuse) and "conflagrate" (burn)?

Edit: I honestly think I might have just misunderstood some play on words you're trying to make. It would be something around setting namespaces and inclusion on fire, but none of the combinations I've tried in my head work out quite right.
This is huge news. I hope they also make the registration fees one time instead of yearly.

P.S. Hope Google also follows suit.
This is almost exactly what I've had in the back of my mind for years now.

I've been trying to prototype a browser with the aim of extracting semantic content from webpages and presenting them in a uniform manner (with the user able to choose/modify the templates). I try to explain it to less technical people as a "permanent safari reader mode for all types of web content - articles, ecommerce pages, recipes etc".

The current model is similar to brow.sh (or opera's vpn etc), the browser makes the request via the server, which extracts the content and serves back the minimal representation. The client then has its own templates saved meaning all layout happens client side and so only the content has to go over the wire.

The user then has control over how they view the content, all images are forced to be lazy loaded (with lqip previews currently) and I'm interested in how to take it further such as extracting the structure of a website navigation and always presenting it in a uniform fashion.

My prototype kinda works for browsing hn/reddit/lobsters and articles and is pretty snappy but content extraction is the hard part that's kept me from starting for a long time.

I've always held off on sharing this because
1) I didn't have a hn account (can't get sucked into an argument about javascript if you can't comment)
2) I was never sure how to present the idea and how exactly to frame it compared to reader mode, adblockers, AMP, Brave, surfing without JS and a ton of different alternatives

If anyones interested I'd love to discuss it and maybe get my prototype live somewhere if there's interest (email address in my about)
So the small apps, where Apple has to spend more hours of work for every dollar of revenue, get a discount. And the big apps, where all they have to do is transmit more copies off their servers, don't get a discount.

I have no idea what Apple's plan is between this and the Epic fight, but it's fun to watch!
Then turn it off in settings once and be happy?

> this is aimed at helping us small developers

I doubt this was the aim. It suspect its aim was to fend off all this scrutiny on their App Store business.

Who knows whether it'll work in avoiding attention from law makers and regulators, but this will do nothing to address the developer's concerns and problem with the App Store.
Similar stories have been around for a while, (I think) starting with "The Machine Stops" by E. M. Forster in 1909:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Machine_Stops

"City of Ember" is another version of this type of story:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Ember

I'l pretty sure that there's at least one Star Trek TOS episode like this too.
Minimum wage wins, affirmative action loses
The US could setup a conventional non-nuclear response that takes Pyongyang off the map, probably within a few days.

Any strike on NK has to decapitate it instantly, or the conventional artillery along the border will pound Seoul into rubble in the meantime. Ballpark figures are 10,000 pieces, some dug in, some mobile, each capable of firing 10kg high explosive and keeping it coming until their ammunition runs out. It's a hard problem for any military planner.

If the SK capital was on their south coast and it was only farmland within artillery range of the border than NK would be an easy problem to solve (obviously if that were the case NK would have developed other weapons to compensate). Notwithstanding China of course.
Why would it be any different? Isn't the point of web that it doesn't matter what hardware you're on?
Like, Software Engineering Twitter?

I personally find Twitter works best to deliver media content (not text), so I follow mostly artists.

SWE posts tend to require more context and explanation that will just immediately kick me off Twitter again.

Are you arguing for getting rid of apartments?
Why they cannot use something like Snapdragon? I am contemplating buying a new phone, but it seems like most of the new ones have call recording disabled, so a phone with an open API and privacy conscious is something I could pay for, but it seems like this one is lacking in the hardware department. If I bought it that would certainly be a downgrade from my current old Samsung phone (which is running old OS and call recording works fine).
Quite the contrary - I love it.

I don't identify as any of them myself, since I'd be some kind of unclassifiable chimera, but the touch of whimsy warms my heart.
This is obviously a cheap PR (albeit a good one) move to help in Apple's battle with Epic.

I hope this does not deter the courts in their decisions regarding the App Store monopoly.
Apple should just be careful with moves like these, some see it as a sign of good will, some see it as a sign of weakness (and smell blood). Give an inch, they'll take a mile.
Its so obvious, isn't it? Why hasn't anyone done it? Because that does not suit the agenda.

Because government does not change anything, its just there to pacify the masses. Name one thing that government has done for you, when you voted?

Lobbying is not the answer. You are dealing with a system that has been captured from top to bottom.
> Another (and IMO more correct) way to look at it is that the US lost there once (hence the second invasion)

Your history is badly mixed up. There wasn't a first invasion, so your premise is wrong from the start. The first Iraq war wasn't meant to topple Saddam at all, which is why George HW Bush wisely didn't attempt to invade Iraq with an occupation force. The first Iraq war was to push Iraq out of Kuwait and smash the Iraqi military to reduce them as a regional threat (eg to Saudi Arabia). It was a huge concerted success (the US was joined by a very strong, diverse coalition). Saddam's once vaunted military was left in shambles, their hardware and capabilities were dramatically reduced. And then aggressive sactions prevented Saddam from rebuilding the military effectively.

> Oh, and we lost in Syria as well

The US didn't lose in Syria. From the position of the warmongers in DC, it was a stellar victory. On the cheap Syria was reduced to rubble and is a non-actor now, they've been almost completely destroyed. Russia is still the dominant big political-military ally of Syria, so nothing changed about that. At worst the US neither gained nor lost, at best - again, from the perspective of the hawks in the Pentagon - Syria is crippled as a regional power. Israel and several other regional powers are also thrilled with Syria's situation, to say the least. It'll take decades for Syria to just get back to where they were before. As a player in the Middle East, they got almost entirely neutralized.

> I don’t think I’ll ever understand people that buy consoles

Because I buy it once and I can play each and every game in the next 5-7 years without spendig money on hardware upgrade.

> The controls are terrible

I'm ok with them, I'm not into hardcore competitive multi fps

>the FPS is terrible

you mean you cannot get 60 FPS for each and every game? Yeah sure, but I don't really need it.

>the display is probably terrible if they’re using a TV

why would it be?

> paying money if you want to play multiplayer

I usually buy ps+ when it is discounted, so I pay about $5 in a month and I usually get two free games for that price.

>you paid an exorbitant price for a game that is rarely on sale

You can buy ps4 games secondhand usually half price if you wait a month after the release, at least in the uk. Also, even AAA titles are heavily discounted during the summer sale on ps4.

So you probably payed much more for hardware upgrades than I payed for the console and for the games in the last 7 years since ps4 is out :)
I’m really surprised that you call our bandwidth price “ludicrously high”. I might not have been clear in my previous comment, currently we’re providing 5TB/mo of free transfer and will always maintain a significant free tier for the bandwidth. We intend to maintain a forever free plan.

As far as I know, our bandwidth price is one of the lowest in the cloud/hosting market. We’re charging for bandwidth because our own providers do charge for it. We do not earn any money out of it, we’re simply covering our own hosting costs.

There is two models to charge bandwidth in the hosting/cloud market: with a limited bandwidth (e.g. 1Gb/s) and per GB. Most cloud providers are charging by GB, AWS, Azure and GCP are charging between $0.05 and $0.23, so between 5x and 23x more. DigitalOcean, Vultr and Linode charge $0.01, so the same price. European providers like OVH and Scaleway cap the bandwidth. Do you have any example of providers with a significantly lower price?
More like an admission of defeat ;) After all 15% is still higher than the highest EGS tax which is 12%. Good news nonetheless.
Why shouldn‘t the assumption be that an attacker can be motivated enough to use purpose built hardware?
Sweden is big and mostly unpopulated so we do travel but not outside of the country
Are they doing it as an instant jump past the fist 1mill, or more like bracketing, so that your first $1m is at 15% and anything on top of that is at 30%? I think that would make much more sense.
I’d imagine that the number of charging points would increase somewhat to accommodate that.

Sure, but that's limited by land in cities and electrical infrastructure in more rural areas. Whether there'll ever be enough charging points to make charging your car not be a hassle is something only time will tell.
OK fair enough perhaps it wasn't the most cut and dry example. But it was the most recent I could think of.
> I think that rendering server-side and transferring text as simple text blocks and images as heavily compressed HEIF/WebP in a special graphics client...

That is almost achieved when you run a real web browser inside VNC, and connect to it using a VNC client that does the appropriate compression. (Tunnelled through ssh, obviously.)

I'm not familiar with HTST so I went looking but didn't find anything related to the web and HTTP, so I'm guessing you meant HSTS?
Homebrew: macOS 11.0 Big Sur Compatibility on Apple Silicon
I run into this a lot travelling in places with bad internet and hiking. I just want to check a route or some place and travel bloggers and their bloated ad-riddled popup-covered sites take forever to load.

I mentioned in another thread an alternative browser I've been prototyping to solve this problem. I'd love if you could tell me more about what you need from something like this. All my prototyping so far has been on desktop but the idea in my head has always been for a mobile app since that's often all I have when travelling, but there's no reason for it not to work on desktop too.
Someone I know once got Opioids to take home after a hospital visit, she said she didn't want them, they urged her to take them anyway. Turns out the hospital was sponsored by the producer of the pills.

This is not just over-prescribing, this is intentionally creating addicts and should be criminalized asap.
Interesting theory. Which wars caused by drought?
Yeah, economically a marginal rate would make more sense and avoid hard step changes.

But I guess it might be harder to implement, not only for Apple, but also for developers to keep track of etc.
Maybe that makes it look a bit too much like the tax it is for comfort.
Tone can be hard to judge, so you should append the /s tag to make it clear you're joking, otherwise people are going to assume you mean it.
Surely this is true for all developers, at any size? And also just about any product, or service, in any industry?

As counterexamples: Apple sell Logic, yet it has numerous competitors, also all fairly successful: ProTools, Live, Cubase, Reaper, Ardour, FruityLoops. Apple give their customers Notes, Reminders and Mail for free, on all their devices (i.e. you don't even need to get hold of apps for these functions), and yet we also have Evernote, Notion, Airmail, Spark etc etc.

Does the App Store monopoly significantly change the nature of app competition? I'm not convinced, but I'm open to learning about it.
I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Do you have any advice before I start?
> And the tone settings do actually give feedback on the lower-right-hand side of the text input box in the form of emojis (albeit still experimental).

That is not my experience. I ran multiple, longer paragraphs through it now, no emojis displayed.
Of course, unmitigated climate change will be catastrophic. No argument there.

I do however think that we would be better off funding and building massive amounts of solar that gives us enough energy surplus to do large-scale carbon capture, instead of forcing everyone to move to electric vehicles.

If you think about it, we right now have an open loop transportation system - dig stuff up from the ground, burn it and forget about it in the atmosphere. Basically, extracting easy to use energy that was captured over a long period.

But we now have the tech to extend that to a closed loop system - capture enough energy from solar to recycle the burned fuel back into burnable fuel.

This will also mitigate all the co2 created when producing electric cars btw.
It's a level that state would take to take care for roads, healthcare, civil service, army and so on. There is no justification for such high % to maintain an app. They could charge per app review and maybe the data transfer fee no more than Amazon S3. Anything else is Apple abusing their monopoly. Developer can't submit their app to an alternative app store because Apple doesn't allow that and it must change.
Some theories suggest only 10%ish of the information we use to communicate is speech, the remaining 90% is body cues. Makes sense from an evolutionary perspective; speech came along later.

With so many people acclimated to putting on themselves, and translating, office friendly body mechanics, working at home may indeed cause subtle anxiety from loss of habit.

At the web app layer, software is a simpler world to design and ship at any scale versus a decade ago. All the logistical nonsense needed to manage office life could very well be bullshit from a GTD standpoint. Satisfying last generations memes on corporate structure versus more atomized social networking abilities.
My gut feel is that things will work themselves out.

A lot of people have driveways and can charge at home. Those that don’t are likely those in cities who typically make shorter journeys and will need to charge infrequently.

If you’re one of the strange people who commute long distances out of a major city, you’ll just need to make a personal decision whether it’s worth the hassle.

I’ve been quite impressed at the rollout of charging infrastructure so far. If my quick Googling is anything to go by, there are roughly 30k public charging points for approximately 160k all-electric vehicles in the UK. Both numbers are growing rapidly but that ratio feels high right now.

The tech is already there. The incentives are there for energy companies to charge for the electricity. The political will (i.e. to permit installation of charging points in public spaces) is there.
But developers provide value to Apple and users as well, and of course already "pay" by writing software for the platform.
She is, yes. I did tell her right from the start that it's a mistake, and I need to get the correct price. She asked me to team up with her to ask Airbnb to compensate her i.e. pay the difference. I totally think they should, because their bug has lead her astray. She is also an Airbnb host in her home country. So, according to the S-1, we are both valued stakeholders.

The support guy last night who escalated it to the specialist said they can do things to help her, such as find her another place. Knowing that, I am hanging on a bit longer to see if they come through...
What makes you think it is a joke? Happy to hear why you think 15% is reasonable.
Good question. I think it is, what do I do, how to recover, and how to avoid in the future?

Some good answers in here.
ad-hoc signed apps expire after a week, then you need to rebuild. It's not a viable solution for distributing apps. If you want other people to use something you wrote you have to pay Apple.
> There is no justification for such high % to maintain an app

Again, you calculated that how?

Honestly in the real world you would generally already know if the need expressed is meant to be a web service (for instance) and if it requires a database - and in those cases, most framework already propose an sqlite / fully-fleged database in the same code.

If we already know that a database might be required later then using something like sqlite straight is smart move that would allow you to write code that is instantly going to work when you actually need something fully fledged instead of re-writing it.

Knowing if you need a database or not is simply one of the first things you know, and writing code before setting that up is a waste of time or a learning process.

A good first step, keep the pressure until app stores are demolished
That's okay, I think. Not like it's a harder job than you'd otherwise be spending your time on.
It's interesting that they haven't made this discount automatic. Each developer has to apply for the discount. Seen from a PR point of view they support small developers, but they will profit from those who are not aware, or who don't sell enough to justify the time spent on applying for discounts.
Except then the next year you get kicked out of the program and back to 30% on every dollar?

NK nukes, which are fairly small, would mess up the skyscraper blocks of NYC and San Francisco city while leaving the rest of those cities mostly intact. And that’s in comparison to cites — the state of California is massive. When I visited Davis CA, I could see the hills to the west but not the mountains to the East. You could lose a nuke in one of the smaller forest fires.

Crypto was invented as, among other things, a way to dodge the currency system and hence, taxation. Taxation is what funds social programs. This is what keeps hunger at bay in the developed world. Though access to banking is important, its also important to continue to highlight the threat that crypto poses to those most vulnerable.

Title should be changed to add a qualifier, such as "Apple will reduce App Store cut to 15 percent on first $1m of revenue"
15% should be the top rate, with small developers at 5-10%

30% is just obscene and has zero justification other than pure unadulterated greed

I disagree. Batteries are very expensive and ultimately consumable parts. I do not see them lasting 30 years.

Consider also it’s unusual for people to own cars for even 10+ years currently, for reasons that apply just as readily to electric or autonomous vehicles.

People want the latest and greatest. Many value the warranties they get with new vehicles. Over 30 years the odds of a vehicle being stolen or involved in an accident and being written off are also pretty high.
So do I, and it's been very frustrating trying to learn to cook. Every recipe out there is very inaccurate, often ambiguous, and seems to rely on already having implicit cooking knowledge or experience.

Or maybe it's just me and my brain being wired abnormally for cooking. I'd love to learn it, but I keep bouncing off it, hard.
Last weekend I spent a weekend on an island here in Turkey. This entire island did exactly this – they banned all cars and horses and went 100% electric. Before, most people got around via horses(!) I heard it was a smelly mess.

It's pretty neat actually. They have these little electric buses that go around the island. Everyone has electric little cars and scooter type vehicles. [1]

I laughed when I saw the solution to this problem you're talking about. Extension cords everywhere. That's right, almost every street you saw long extension cords going from the house to the street to charge all the vehicles. Is it perfect? No of course not but it's "good enough for now".

Yes, I realize a small island with a few thousand people is not the same a the UK. My point is, people will figure out how to make it work.
