Easily did for 4 years. A lot of it was perfectly legal as long as it wasn't overboard (funding grocery shopping as business expenses for example), wasn't recurring and wasn't too high without reason (funding your wedding as a business expense for instance).

The UK tax laws are a joke. As told to me by multiple HMRC auditors, and my accountant (who is funnily a former HMRC auditor). The US' laws are an even bigger joke. After incorporating on the mainland, I've found that Swiss/Liechtensteiner/Luxembourgian tax laws are actually pretty decent and exacting, in spite of them being criticized as a tax haven and all.

Perl one-liners can be incredibly powerful, but I keep using awk because it's a much smaller and simpler language to keep in my head. My trusty old Camel book, 2nd ed, is what, 500+ pages?

I think we have to be careful of sampling bias - nobody ever hears of the leveraged buyouts that work smoothly
They are likely doing that to tons of people.

I wonder if it’s just a case of corporate laziness. Lucasfilm produced tons of Star Wars “extended universe” material from different authors. Maybe some middlemanager just went “eh, paying them all would take too much time. Let’s just pretend they don’t exist. If they complain, we’ll fob them off.” Could also be a reason for chucking out the extended universe at a narrative level.

That's a cynical take, a slightly less cynical take is that the rich and (privately) powerful have always tried to cement their power in form of organising a feudal-ish state and that the rest of us had to actively support democratising forces to counteracting them.

What this means is having everything which lends itself to monopoly to democratic control, not private control, and to work together to make democratic control as efficient, localized and legitimate as possible. A well oiled, properly constrained bureaucracy is a wonderful thing, as anyone who has experienced e.g. German and post-soviet bureaucracy can attest to. And yet the Germans (rightfully) still think their bureaucracy needs improvement, because of course it does, but it's still necessary and better than privatising the essential services that are provided.

"Starve the beast" is a warcry of rich and powerful who will benefit from the vacuum after they pervert and hollow out working institutions like the US post office (if you think it's not profitable and relying on tax payers money, do your research please).

You're not understanding the issue here. This had nothing to do with how fast the battery degrades. This was only ever about how the phone acts with an already degraded battery. The two choices are 1. Shut off the phone suddenly if any high performance tasks are attempted 2. Throttle the phone performance to keep it from shutting off.

Apple chose #2, which is best for customers, and got forced to pay $113M from it. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, my experience with healthcare IT was in a two-hospital rural provider in the US, so that definitely colors my observations there.

That said, I don't really recall the doctors themselves using an EMR much, either; they'd usually punt that to assistants and/or nurses. Probably different in smaller practices/clinics.

It is spying, even if there is exaggeration and minimising of the facts from both sides. The new macOS cripples all application firewalls to ensure that no Apple service can be prevented from spying on you, even if you don't want to.
YMMV but generally speaking you pay whatever the normal VAT rate would be + some import rate (~5-10% generally) + some handling fee. Usually around 30% is a safeish estimate. It obviously depends on where you live, what import rates and VAT rates you have and so on.
The angular momentum of the "earth system" is constant [1].
The variation in angular velocity of the solid earth can be ascribed to change in the angular momentum carried by oceans and atmosphere. These changes can be due to change in velocity (winds, currents) or moment of inertia (moisture in atmosphere).

[1] If we ignore friction due to tidal forces from moon and sun (which is valid on these time-scales), the "earth system" is not affected by any non-central forces and so the angular momentum is constant.
When my phone battery is low I often can charge it. Most of the time I have opportunity to charge multiple times a day if needed. If I need long life I can switch to battery saver mode; in normal operations I prefer better performance.

It actually makes most sense that they weren't being malicious. Half the posts on this thread don't even understand what the problem is. Namely throttling to prevent the device from shutting off as if it was some kind of anti-consumer feature when it was actually pro-consumer.
> Many nations also have a greater population than their capacity to grow food (e.g. UK, Germany). Should we forcefully remove half their population?

You can include China in there, which is partly why the CCP is always willing to sacrifice half their population - less mouths to feed.

War is only one famine away for countries that can't grow their own food, or get embargoed.

(The reason why Britain had the largest navy for centuries was to protect their sea lanes for trade to support their islands. Their doctrine was to have a navy as large as the next 2 navies, in case those 2 signed a treaty.)
In school it seemed the same way to me, it was very superficial and my high school teacher was unable to anwer my "why" questions.

At university it was very different, I finally got my questions answered. Part of that was certainly that it was much more in-depth, but the quality of the teaching and also the textbooks was just much higher. For me there were also maybe a few core things I didn't understand in school that are really crucial to put everything into context. The biggest one maybe being a tiny bit of thermodynamics and understanding what enzymes actually do and what they can't do.

I do suspect that a major problem is trying to cover too much material, which makes the courses too superficial and makes it impossible to actually explain how stuff works, what problems are solved by specific biological systems and why they probably work the way they do.

There is this weird phenomenon of computer games so boring (grindy) that players play while watching Netflix. Which requires Netflix shows dumb enough that you can follow them while playing a computer game. They are somehow interdependent, and it works. Even though you could be spending time watching shows or playing games that capture your full attention.

Sure, you may have to use @apply if you're for example adding Tailwind to an existing project with .css files.

But the right/ideal way to use Tailwind is to use components. That way you get the most dev ex that Tailwind can provide.

Is it sarcasm? A bit hard to get for me.

There's an old and very easy way to create a distorted image by selectively publishing the news: just ignore all the positive news and publish only negative news.

Many opposition channels and blogs in Russia exploit this technique. E.g. there're some anti-Russian blogs (quite many) that publish only vivid descriptions of the most cruel crimes that happened in Russia recently. When people read mostly these blogs they get an impression that everyday life in Russia is permeated by brutal crimes and there's no escape from villains if you step outside your apartment.

They're also quite popular among Russian immigrants living in Europe and USA (my guess is that because they're promoted in Google/Facebook/YouTube search results), and they always tell me in private conversations: "How can you live in such a brutal place where people are killed for no reason every day?"

They don't get that crime happens in every country every day, what is important is statistics: how effective is effort for fighting the crime, how big is percent of victims, etc (btw, also a rich field for statistics manipulation).

But these blogs do not publish fake news - they can publish only true facts. There's enough true facts you can use to create a distorted image if you ignore all the other information.

I took over a fairly large project which used tailwind v1. Have a low-hate relationship with it.

I like how fast you can do stuff, but when when a designer creates something a bit custom it all falls part really quick.

I understand it solve the issue with reusability and style-guides, but for modern apps that would also mean everything should already be react componentized, so you shoudl not really care about css at that point idealy.

I rather use a mix styled-components (easily extendable if you need something custom) and css-variables for dark mode and defining global variables like colors,paddings etc. Plus I route-split so page only has it's related styles.
Just the other day I was wondering whether these old games were just so much fun because I was much younger and it was simply something new and exciting to me, or whether there's something else to it. You know, sometimes less is more, if the game world is just about detailed enough that you can make out what things are supposed to be, you have to let the creative part of your brain do much more work to fill in the blanks, which ultimately gives the final product that your consciousness consumes a more personal note, since it's filled with your fantasy. Maybe this is part of why Minecraft is so successful. Everything is so chunky and rough, you have to imagine what things are. And your crude buildings and creations easily fit in with the rest of the game world, there automatically is consistency in detail, so your mind accepts it.

I tried Unreal Editor a few years ago. The engine is really impressive, there's a ton of assets, high res textures, it's easy to create a natural looking terrain, but then bringing it to life is hard work and takes skills. Everything I built looked clunky, out of place, lacked details, lighting seemed off, it was rubbish. Minecraft fixes this problem. Everyone can build good looking stuff.

Most of those are ports; I know FF has some 'native' mobile games, but those are Gacha games optimized for mobile devices - microtransactions, repetitive gameplay, addictiveness abound.

The closest thing Apple has to a games console is Apple TV, and the offerings on there have been... tentative? They have pushed for developers to pick up Apple TV development, but to date, most of the games on there are ports from the other Apple devices.
I think a lot of upstate NY (and new england in general) used to be farms, and is now forest. Because most farming stopped making sense, once you could ship food from the midwest cheaply.

But how much water is consumed by the farming that remains in NY? I never had the impression any of it was irrigated, but haven't tried to look up numbers. Farming in CA is of course a wildly different story. Left without water it's a desert, not a forest.
>Meanwhile, Russia, a developing nation with a history of muscular military engagements in the region, is spending more than six percent of its much larger GDB on military.

The Russia GDP is less than 10% of the GDP of EU, or the same size as the Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg) countries.

Its population is shrinking rapidly due to low birth rates and very high death rates.

Its ruled by a totalitarian dictator that regularly tries to murder his opponents.

It seeks by all means to stir up unrest in its surroundings by misinformation.

Its one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

All of these are good reasons why the EU should rapidly invest in its own defense force. Putin will step-down one way or another the next 20 years and then it may get ugly, nobody knows who are waiting in the wings...
Apple doesn't manufacture the batteries. And you can't magically make batteries that perform identically. Every battery made has variation in it and that variation can't be seen until it starts causing failures.

The change would have been to simply advertise the service life was shorter than it actually was, to account for various worse batteries, but the long tail of worse off batteries would have still been there regardless.
Yes, that was sarcasm, sorry if that wasn't clear enough.
Transparent plug but also sincere offer: I'm a psychotherapist. (I'm also a psychiatric researcher, which made me something of a data scientist, which is how I ended up on HN.) I work in private practice, dealing mainly with relationship and mood issues, and I've seen no small number of men and women in the kinds of fields that make up the HN readership over the course of my career - tech, STEM, etc.

It'll surprise no one to hear me say that I agree with locochef about investing in oneself through therapy^, but I also want to say that one of the most fascinating and simultaneously scary aspects of my work is seeing day in, day out the degree to which human beings excel at having stress pile up while ignoring it, denying it, believing themselves to somehow deserve it, "tough it out" to nearly-lethal degrees, or being kind of unaware of it entirely. A corollary of this observation is that the people (or the couples, or the families) who decide to see a therapist "early", when the challenge / problem / dilemma isn't yet at crisis level, are often the ones who benefit most. Like someone said down thread, it's like any other part of health: it costs less to not eat those cheeseburgers now than to have the bypass surgery later. Small investments made somewhat early can forestall a lot of ugly shit down the road. Frankly, if half the shit I help people with every day was taught universally in the fifth to tenth grades, I'd be out of a job (but happily so).

If anyone has general questions about therapy or related topics, I'm happy to answer if I'm able (or give you a nice "I have no idea" if I don't). Email in bio.

^ Sometimes! It's not for everyone, nor even for the same person at different times of their lives, and it can be harmful or end up being something you regret. But I agree in a general sense.
Yeah, Tailwind uses postcss to let you use its utility classes with the normal way of doing abstractions in CSS - but it also promotes using Javascript component frameworks where that makes sense.

The utility classes are in themselves great. It's a complete set but it still promotes thinking in design systems.

CSS classes are good, but should be used in moderation. Since you're likely using a component framework anyway, you can often just use the utility classes directly in your components with no loss of clarity and without repeating yourself. But when you do end up repeating yourself in the CSS, you can reach for postcss's @apply and have access to Tailwind's design system. The three levels work extremely well together.
> The first theory is interesting: "sometimes, private equity firms really are just looters."

Looting implies that the objects didn't belong to you. If I buy a cheap crappy old car to sell of the spare parts, is that "looting"

> The high bankruptcy rate is not encouraging.

That doesn't have much to do with private equity, the entire sector is in deep shit. It's not like Toys'R'Us was a model of health...

> And some of Toys R Us' creditors aren't happy either:

That's a more serious question, and will need to be resolved. Keep in mind that if the creditors aren't happy, they won't lend money again to companies owned by those PE firms. So it's not like there are no consequences
The experience I described was in Oct 2016.

I may be mistaken, but I don’t believe there was any battery charge history (at least not accessible to users) in iOS at the time?

In any event, I am not sure the unexpected shutdowns would have manifested themselves as sudden reductions in charge. Once restarted, the iPhone reported a similar charge to before the shutdown.
Agree, if Apple ever goes back to offering 64+ GB RAM Notebooks, they will become a viable choice again.
> I think it's clear Apple intentionally* degrades software quality on older iphone/mac models in order to drive purchase of newer hardware.

Completely false. What's clear is that most posters on hacker news don't understand basic battery chemistry. Apple made a decision to help customers and got blamed for it because they didn't properly explain what they were doing. You can only please people so much.
> Meanwhile, Russia, a developing nation with a history of muscular military engagements in the region, is spending more than six percent of its much larger GDB on military.

Economically, Russia is a midget compared to the EU. They do have lots of nukes, though.
"Consumer rights" is nebulous and meaningless in this context. No legal right is being infringed upon. It is not against the law for a private business to control its platforms, in fact its something that private businesses routinely do and have done long before apple came along.

Marketing and PR is also unremarkable and not peculiar to apple. iPhone customers are absolutely not being lied to in the relevant sense - there is no representation that an iPhone will allow you to run any software outside that approved by apple in the app store.

"The customer should be able to do whatever they like" is a nice sounding dogma, but has no legal basis and isn't supported by standard practice for many products. Your example only demonstrates a power imbalance if we assume that the customer has already been forced to own an iphone for some reason. In reality the corporate and the consumer have the same power - the corporate to develop and offer a product on its terms, and the consumer to either accept that offer or to purchase a different product.

Developers demonstrably do benefit from apple's strengths. Their revenues are overwhelming on the back of an ecosystem built and maintained by apple essentially from scratch. If developers didn't benefit, they wouldn't develop for ios, simple as that.

The point is, the developers are on the same boat as apple, so sinking it is a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face. And there already are 'others' - it's not apple's fault that they're shit.

Those sites carry so much state in cookies rather than URLs, so you have to follow all the UI interactions in order to get to the result you're trying to parse.
