With multiple app stores Apple will lose some ability to force app vendors to follow good privacy practices. For example, if Facebook violates Apple’s privacy policy now they can’t be on iOS. In a world of multiple stores Facebook can just move themselves to a 3rd party store. The current set up makes it so that Facebook is available AND they are limited in how much information they can siphon off from you.

If it becomes the norm to use app stores that enforce no standards, then a lot of the privacy protections for using iOS will be gone.
I just use https://www.weather.gov/ because its not bloated. Unfortunately it doesn't have 10 day forecasts and I believe the reason they don't show 10 day forecasts is because they are not very accurate. That far out your better off looking at forecast ensembles and looking at what the Euro, Canadian, as well as the GFS model is forecasting. But no common, free weather websites I'm aware of exposes that info. If you live in the west you can use this site to a degree[1], although its more targeted to snow/ski forecasting.

Awesome, glad to hear it :). Hope it goes well. I'll add OPML import soon.
An alternate App Store would operate outside the sandbox though, right?

Otherwise, the alternate App Store would be relegated to installing apps within its own sandbox. And people would continue to howl about it.
It's not really a config language. It's directed at fast execution of expressions and being able to provide some measure of type safety.

Clinical trial success is around 14%. Most things fail.

Remember Curcumin?

> Taking the properties and activities all together, though, these efforts would seem to be largely – and almost certainly completely – wastes of time and money. What’s worse, it appears that from 2001 on there are at least 135 registered clinical trials using the stuff. The review goes into four examples for which details are available, all of them complete wipeouts, and those would seem to serve as good proxies for the rest given that no curcumin trial has ever reported any convincing positive results.
I don't know that I'd call it a "strange obsession," but it's a popular topic, right up there with intermittent fasting. Here are some active posts just from the last two or three months:

“Never turn left” would be a ridiculous rule on its own, as it ignores the frequency of oncoming traffic, or the existence of left-turn bays (with left-turn signals) or 4-way stop signs.
Is that really so impressive? The technical challenges remain the same as a near side landing except you’re in a communication blackout so signals have to bounce off a satellite in orbit. Even then that’s not novel because the Americans and Russians did the same thing, using their orbiting spacecraft to relay messages back to earth.

The Chinese literally haven’t done anything novel in their space program. Even the words they said upon landing on that mission were a copy of the Americans. ‘"It's a small step for the rover, but one giant leap for the Chinese nation," Wu Weiren, the chief designer of the Lunar Exploration Project, told state broadcaster CCTV.’ The Chinese literally can’t do anything but copy and it’s embarrassing.

Oh right, so what you are saying is that once the killin starts, you hope it ramps up fast!

Like the other commenter said, I hope I don't live near you.

I’m afraid it could easily be the biggest mistake made by Apple over the last decade. The bloatedness and slow build time just aren't justified by the shiny, convenient language features.
Does the body of studies on this page constitute a dearth of evidence?
> So what? That means more people and tax revenue to solve problems.

I'm not the state government though, I'm an individual with a life outside of my house. When the majority of the time for any activity outside of my house is sitting in traffic or waiting in lines, it's difficult to enjoy the area you live in. For this reason, I find myself heading further and further out of town to find areas or activities that aren't completely congested. Tax revenue won't make the lines shorter or traffic less. To do either would require bulldozing all of the housing and building up, at least where I am. Unfortunately, whenever this is done, luxury condos or apartments are the result, with rent that's higher than a mortgage, even for around here.
> Trump should have closed the borders, a proposal he was heavily attacked for?

A temporary closure in the face of a pandemic is somewhat different than closing them based on his rather colourful view of immigrants.
It predates the pandemic. The first studies suggesting "maybe we are all D3 deficient" go back over a decade, and so articles about it have popped up on HN a few times a year. Then add the pandemic and the new implication that it affects COVID outcomes and you start to get a hype cycle.

I will say that I find some value in D3 supplements personally and have used them, at varying levels, since 2009. But like most health issues, its impact can't be reduced down to a one-factor analysis, and often entails discussion of other supplements and deficiencies.
The "prisoner's dilemma" stuff at the end of the article makes no sense. The article starts by explaining why UPS does this - it benefits UPS. UPS doesn't do this to be a "good citizen", it does it because it is more efficient for UPS. UPS doesn't even do it because it's somehow better for UPS overall even though it's worse for individual UPS drivers. If an individual driver could do better by turning left according to their route planning software then it would have them turn left.

If this works in general for typical routes driven by individuals (rather than only for delivery routes like a UPS driver is making with multiple stops that don't have to happen in any particular order) then it would make sense for individuals to do it and they could benefit by doing it without needing anyone else to do it as well. There is no prisoner's dilemma here.
It was, in hindsight, a lame attempt at a joke, based on Volkswagen's history with skirting emissions controls.

More seriously, it's hard to know what all's installed on your phone, and what all it's doing; car parts are intrinsically sandboxed.

It'll be interesting to see what happens when always-connected self-driving cars have enough compute power to run self-driving systems and people are free to install random apps without great security (because car manufacturers seem to be awful at that). I'm predicting cutesy weather apps that quietly mine crypto all night long...
The app could just hand off installation to the privileged system daemon that can do that part for it.
Silly Accuweather, I've heard meteorologist refer to anything beyond 10 days as "fantasyland", because forecast that far out are not really accurate.
I agree, BUT one thing that has blown my mind and forced me to reconsider a lot of this stuff that that women make 70-80% of consumer purchases. So, if you are advertising, you are pretty much advertising to women. The ruination of Reddit made no sense to me, Facebook made no sense to me, Instagram, etc. all that nonsense made no sense to me, until I realized that ALL of that stuff is for women. Seen in this light it seems to make more sense and not be so "silly" after all.

Yea, the deal is not yet closed, but assuming no regulatory hold up (think new relic is public, so if pixie is worth enough, they'll need to go through HSR) or similar stuff, they agree that the acquisition will go through.
Yup I totally agree. I did came across this site when I was looking for Latex Templates especially for my resume. I am glad I met the founder today

No Problem man :)
Well it sounds like this law is outdated and needs to align with the times. It should be the same as current smartphone laws.
That's how it started, for me at least.

When I first began programming it was like my mind was a nuclear reactor. I LOVED it. New ideas were popping into my head all the time, and solutions to problems were quick.

I'll never forget when I was in the first few months, and learned about POLYMORPHISM. At the time, it utterly blew my mind, and I found so many sweet use cases for it and felt like a GOD of programming.

Fast forward 10 years and yea, it gives me a chuckle to remember those days. I miss how excited my mind was, and how eager to code I was. Now, I'm critical of code, less open to learning new things, and new ideas are few and far between.

It sucks but as far as I can tell, that's just life. We aren't programmed to constantly lose ourselves in any one thing. If we did, our ancestors may not have survived. Our primitive brain found great utility in "moving on" to the next thing, the next opportunity, etc.
What I always wonder with selling physical goods is how the process of getting production lines going went. There have been times when I've wanted to sell a physical product, but the lack of experience in that area and relative risk (for financial buy in and mistakes) made me hesitate.
Riding those "Web" coattails real hard on this one, if I do say so. Seems quite confusing.

Facebook, to competes, rebrands as "Web Social Network". The technicians can slice hairs over who deserves it or no, but the distinction would be faint, in comparing similar name-grabbing exercises. Ok, Google, maybe you deserve it a little tiny bit more, maybe a smidge, but hardly.
What I’m wondering is: what makes a “general computing device”? As Sony showed with OtherOS on the PS3 (and PS3 based supercomputers), a console can be used as a general purpose computer. It ran full blown Linux and supported USB peripherals.

While a phone is integral to daily life, that doesn’t make something “general purpose”, IMO. I can’t write code comfortably on it, for example. The iPad, OTOH, could be argued to be a general purpose computer. Heck, Apple even advertises it as a laptop replacement! But phones? I just don’t see it.

----

That debate is the fundamental rub though: if you don’t see phones as “general purpose”, you’re more ok with locked down systems (consoles for example), but if you do see them as that, opening them up seems logical. The problem is that phones are in a gray area; they do many things computers do such as web browsing, email, etc., but they don’t function as them sometimes. Sure, we could put VS Code on Android, but I doubt anyone would ever use it.

So there’s not really a clear answer, and it isn’t helped by bad arguments from both sides: the “open” crowd claims nothing would change for those who don’t want it do (just keep using Apple’s App Store and ignore the others), but it would very easily cause a race to the bottom. And the “closed” crowd says to just choose Android, but Android is in many ways worse than iOS; worse privacy is a big thing.

Yikes, that's sad. Sounds like you need to meet some new people.
No worries, but I remain unconvinced. There are nations that have seen high inflation, and that hasn't been so good for their stock markets.
The major trade off is requiring low temperatures to transport and store. Pfizer currently requires -70C and Moderna -20C, whereas other vaccines only require fridge temperatures or even room temperature! The vaccines like the viral vector and mRNA vaccines that target specific viral proteins also may miss out on antibodies for other viral proteins that a live attenuated or deactivated vaccine may produce.
"Hey, it's that guy with a randomized fingerprint again. Yeah, we saw him come in yesterday."
Like I said, you're either not understanding the position I've given or are deliberately being dishonest in your representation of it. Maybe it's my fault for communicating it poorly, though that seems unlikely. Rather it seems more likely you're intent on misrepresenting it as a matter of partisan rhetoric. I do doubt you're completely aware of your partisan slant here, after all your just on the righteous side of saving lives. But your talking points and misunderstanding and characterization of mine are all too predictable along those fault lines.
It’s akin to Ubuntu LTS or Debian stable.
I don't see how this undermines the argument that Google doesn't hold the Android app market "hostage" because users usually buy devices that already have another app store preinstalled and also are free to install other app stores.

Tasmanian devils look set to conquer their own pandemic
The problem with gigabit cable internet is that the upstream sucks. Sure, you can download a gigabit per second, but your connection chokes when uploading a file like a video to YouTube or trying to share large documents over a private network (such as a remote-work VPN to your office LAN).

The slow upstream also makes it really hard for people to set up private networks between themselves, and the cable companies ALWAYS block port 80 and port 443.

Why? Because, for some reason, they don't want people hosting web servers on their own computers. That just can't be allowed, for some reason.

But why? Why can't I have gigabit upstream on my connection, and why the fuck shouldn't I be able to host a public web site from my own computer, on my own internet connection?

These policies and restrictions really hurt the idea of a free and decentralized internet. Just imagine how different things could be and what all people would use their internet connections for if this wasn't the case...
> I’m sure there are examples, but in common use it is understood to be plural and has been used that way in all writing for a long time.

It is grammatically plural, but it has been accepted for semantically singular use since long before the Victorian effort to impose Latin-inspired rules on English usage which failed to eradicate it despite intense effort. (Victorian prescriptivism did have some good effects — regularized spelling FTW — but trying to eradicate clear and useful usages like singular “they” was one of its less-well-considered, but fortunately also less-successful, efforts.)
I went through a pretty intense crunch time at a fortune 10.

We had one person go to the hospital with tachycardia and 3 people who were vomiting. There were only 10 people on the team.
Google has alert thresholds (you set it up under your Budget). But practically speaking, an alert is not enough - what if you are unavailable to get the alert, it comes in the middle of the night, etc?

A better solution would have been 'limits' which they used to have (at least for Google App Engine) but which has been deprecated.

We had to spend sometime to research and see if there was a work around because just like the author of the article, we were quite worried about suddenly consuming a huge amount of resources, getting a spike in our bill and our accounts being cut off/suspended because we hadn't paid the bill. We've documented our solution here

This lesson goes the other way too: Charismatic founders can con investors into ideas. They invested in what they thought was a bad idea because of founder charisma. And also the danger that if you're not stereotypically charismatic, you might have an inherently harder time selling an idea, even if it's good.
Why are people downvoting my comment above? It's true you can download the raw NOAA data, just go here if you don't believe me: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/model-data/model-datas...

"Official" is mostly about who they consider the customers of the product when making a decision.

If the project is officially open-sourced, that will be taken into consideration when project priorities, re-orgs, and direction occur at higher levels. "How does this effect our commitment to the community" is a question to address. If it isn't official, then is best-effort by the people who pushed for it to go open-source.
"Are you sure it wasn't the other guy with a randomized fingerprint?"
This so much. I bounced around project after project for trying to get something going and just never had a passion for it. Once I started a project I have a passion for it's soooo much better.
A great thing about the comments like these is that it’s impossible to say if it was a joke or an honest opinion.
the title doesn't really match the link?
There are far better ways to ask the question than “What does the app even do, just seems like a map with a few dots” which has a heavy implication on the quality of the team that built it..

I lived for a few weeks in 2009 in the original Airbnb house on Rausch St when Brian and Joe had an extra room. I learned a ton: from extreme community care to perseverance and kindness.

Right there - when Airbnb was about 10 people in total, Brian told me: We'll go IPO. We'll be $100B IPO.

But you're not just leaving instructions, you're turning on the water and firing up the stove.
To add dang (and for others), for future reference: in regulatory affairs, “cleared”, “approved”, “granted”, and “authorized” are distinct actions for the FDA. These verbs are not interchangeable and using the wrong word can bring significant (financial, for the associated company) consequences because it implies that the FDA did something they did not, e.g., cleared for a 510(k) device vs granted for a de novo device.

This. Accuweather and weather.com have literally leeched all the data they can get from NOAA and then they resell it at a tidy profit. This change does not affect the general public but does affect the big players.
Apple is far from the biggest monopoly of today much less since the others. Amazon probably takes the cake, but Facebook and Google are right there too.

Furthermore there are plenty of monopolies in non tech industries that do the same things.
Totally agree, AR in games is more of a toy. The progress with lidar is... progress - but still not great even in basic scenes, helps with low light. Visual issues break the immersion and pull the user from the experience, which is supposed to be the point. AR as a tech is interesting, and has practical business uses as you point out - but has a long way to go to be useful for games, let alone an engaging centerpiece. Like everything else, it’ll improve steadily, and I’m excited for where it could go
It’s nice to think that everyone is on equal footing, but even ignoring differences in education and genetics, the universal existence of motivated reasoning, emotional reasoning, confirmation bias, and other cognitive distortions tends to refute your assertion that everyone is equally good at determining whether or not any given idea is bullshit.

All humans—myself included—will go to great lengths to reject reality when it feels like it is a threat to a core value. This is especially the case when people have tied their identity too tightly to a given subject (i.e. hyper-partisans.) The average person, sufficiently prejudiced toward believing a given falsehood, is not going to be able to determine that it is false because their brain will start to play tricks on them. I have written about this elsewhere[0], and The Story of Us[1][2] goes into this process in much more detail.

I really hope AirBnB takes the IPO money and use the extra resources to fix the problems with AirBnB. I've used AirBnB 3 times and have a really good positive experience. But I've read stories about AirBnB hosts (players) that are really horrible. I feel sorry for the guests (probably a small percent) but now AirBnB can and should spend more resource to really fix it as much as possible.
Is negging a thing among VC's? IIRC the same thing happened with Reddit when PG rejected their first idea and told them to make Reddit. Props to the Airbnb guys for sticking with their idea. Looks like they're all still involved with the company too which is nice to see.
