3.2 Other Business Model Issues
[list is not exhaustive]
3.2.1 Acceptable
(vi) Approved nonprofits may fundraise directly within their own apps or third-party apps, provided those fundraising campaigns adhere to all App Review Guidelines and offer Apple Pay support. These apps must disclose how the funds will be used, abide by all required local and federal laws, and ensure appropriate tax receipts are available to donors. Additional information shall be provided to App Review upon request. Nonprofit platforms that connect donors to other nonprofits must ensure that every nonprofit listed in the app has also gone through the nonprofit approval process. Learn more about becoming an approved nonprofit.

3.2.2 Unacceptable
(iv) Unless you are an approved nonprofit or otherwise permitted under Section 3.2.1 (vi) above, collecting funds within the app for charities and fundraisers. Apps that seek to raise money for such causes must be free on the App Store and may only collect funds outside of the app, such as via Safari or SMS.

It would appear that the current understanding is that if you are not a nonprofit, you don't fundraise within the app nor do you provide a link where you can transfer funds. If you are a nonprofit, you can register through the nonprofit program to use Apple Pay (which comes with actual checks of the status). This matches the intent every other point regarding payments, where soliticing money from within the app, even by way of link, is generally prohibited unless specifically allowed under one of the small list of exceptions. Remember when "reader" apps also had to remove links to purchase individual items and replaced it with, at best, "visit our website"? Same intent, same result.

As for fishiness, compare these examples:
* Signal Technology Foundation is a registered nonprofit foundation, I can check if the money is going to development of Signal (it is). They even do it right by providing the EIN so it is trivial to check.
* Mozilla Foundation is a registered nonprofit foundation, I can check if the money is going to the development of the browser (it is not).
* WireGuard developers decided it is important for them to keep the information where their business is located private (this is what I am referring to as fishy: I would challenge you to find where that particular "Edge Security" firm is actually operating, as a company, or what zx2c4.com is beside a name that Jason used to tag some files and host a domain, and both are used as "this project is from") and to keep the profits.

See the difference? Two are genuine nonprofits entitled to donations, one is a business disguised as one (how much money that business makes is immaterial, it could be $1, it could be millions - I sincerely wish them the latter). Every developer has to make a living somehow - or at least recoup some costs, for FOSS projects - but this is not the way to go about it if you want to claim moral high ground over Apple.

Hmm...maybe. I know several people who have System76 laptops and none of them would say that they're made well. At best they seem to tolerate poor Clevo-rebrand construction out of a desire to support a libre ecosystem. Complaints like needing to reboot to switch between integrated and discrete graphics, low quality screens, extreme fan noise that then interferes heavily with the microphone, and terribly overpromised battery life are the norm. Has something changed very recently?
For me downvoting should be for at least one:

1 - Not relevant to the discussion

2 - Rude/Offensive/Prejudice, etc

Downvoting means the comment get less visibility. In real life conversations, when you don't agree, you don't turn down someone's voice so nobody can hear them. You either reply saying that you don't agree, or you get them out of the discussion if they are 1 or 2 above.

If any opinion that is different than the prevailing opinion get downvoted - thus, less visible - people are not going to see the different angles of the discussion. Even if it's an opinion based on wrong assumptions/facts, other people might benefit from seeing the correction on the replies
I like a good time tracker app. I appreciate this is open source too! Some feedback...

After playing with the demo, there is one thing that really jumps out to me I don't quite understand. It's looks like time get grouped into these little 'blocks' on the bar on the left. It's not immediately clear what forms a block though. Also, I don't quite understand the use case for being able to drag the blocks around? If you drag one, the start and stop times change for every task in the block? Weird.

This seems very fragile. What if I accidentally drag a block out of place, and don't remember the exact start time? Then I have effectively 'broken' my time logs for a whole block of work. To me it would make sense to have the blocks locked by default, and allow unlocking in the case you need to move a whole group. But I can't imagine ever needing to do this very often.

I will say, I really like the concept of the continuous scrolling main time bar on the left. Anyway, trying to offer constructive criticism, not trying to bash this project. Looks like the project is still young, and you've got a great start here! Keep it up!

Agreed but to be fair - mass-energy is not conserved across intergalactic scales.
Can't say if it applies to your case, but as a firewall/router I use a "thin client" with a TransMeta processor, the actual model is Fujitsu Futro S, there are/were several sub-models, mine is an old S220, it runs Zeroshell (a Linux distro) with an added "normal" PCI network cards and it is like 15W:

The advantage is you deploy your entire application stack the same way you would anything else. Zero effort to roll out new environment. And if you need to scale it up, you just increase your k8s request/limit on CPU/Memory and restart it and it gets scheduled to a node as appropriate.
Went through the CIA one as well, and it's almost designed to be opaque and vague. UFO's create interesting ethical questions and can be useful thought experiments for contemporary issues.

A good one is where, say you are checking in on a civilization to see whether it's about to become space faring, and given the amount of energy required for it, the tech is dangerous to any other civilization these recent space arrivers might find. The question is whether they're going to pose a threat to the regional galactic order, and if they haven't got their cultural act together, do you let them?

Second, if you do intervene, does their new knowledge of the intervention of an intermediate power harm their social and ethical development, given their entire political economy and ethics will switch from discovered principles, to merely competing to appeal to the most powerful force they can? (I think this would make them impossible to trust.) Could it recover and develop on its own if you arrived and chose some of them for benefits but not others? Do you pick the most dominant, or the species with the most suitability to become part of the space faring community.

It costs them nothing to wipe us out and spare the universe the trouble, so what must they believe about life, the universe, and everything to not do so. Economics may be universal, etc. I don't think these are dumb questions at all, and they resemble ones that state dept's make very day, so I don't dismiss people interested in UFOs as they are interested in some pretty useful questions.
If the distrust numbers are so large despite no evidence of any fraud at all, then perhaps the problem is not the election but whoever is talking to 72% of the republicans...

It's possible that his "No." was a hard answer to whether diet changes would affect your symptoms in general, but it's also possible that it's was a response in the context of whether it would help the things that he would find on a colonoscopy. If possible I would ask him to clarify.

Some doctors I've been to assume that I've already tried simple things to help with whatever issues I've had, and that is sometimes an inaccurate assumption.
> So I'm angry, and I can't recommend Signal to others for this reason. And the devs just don't seem to care.

Could have just been: "I can't recommend Signal to others for this reason."

I read the "Please be nice" post as a request to leave out the part about being angry or assuming that the devs don't care. It is understandable that you feel that way, but saying so doesn't fix your issue. It does make other people feel bad.
I don't see the benefit either. I believe Netflix made this idea popular with sidecar containers as a way to add

> “non-intrusive platform capabilities” [0]

to container stacks.

I understand that the idea might be popular among developers as it is easier to just add a database container to your stack rather than dealing with the db admin. I don't know if Netflix ever recommended databases as sidecar containers. But I have seen it in the wild where dev followed the Netflix model. I sometimes hear people arguing that they have to manage containers anyway so it would be less overhead to manage the db as a container as well.

I think it's absolutely correct that, for Google, it doesn't make sense to charge for sync. I also think that anyone who's ever relied on sync knows that there is a lot of value in doing it well - especially in a B2B context. It's true that "just" filesystem sync isn't a full product. The product would probably be sync-as-a-service where you can manage distribution and deduplication of resources across your systems.

So we have a situation where it doesn't make sense for Google to focus on the feature, but the fact that they have the feature at all trips up specialist companies.

It's obviously a crypto challenge to anyone who has ever played them. It maps way too nicely to human concepts. This is what every amateur putting together an "alien challenge" without attempting to be scientific about it ends up doing, and it's easy to tell. That's fine if you're doing it for fun, but it's obviously not real.

And that is confirmed:

I've been here solved that. ACM tried to run an challenge about an "alien computer" that was obviously not alien, but ended up being very real. I was part of the team that reverse engineered it first, but the whole contest collapsed and all interest waned after we ended up finding the very-much-not-alien chip involved by accident. We did cover the initial process, but unfortunately never got around to writing the follow-up posts.

I'm guessing because they solve interop problem between systems, which is going away.

Great idea and execution, very valuable but seemed valued even higer than that to me (i.e overvalued).
They were well-placed for app hosting - but lots of competition and it's hard to hit the jackpot twice (even google hasn't managed it, nor apple, arguably).
> I also find it interesting that since retiring Harry Read has openly talked about the existence of UFOs.

This is the truly interesting point, you can question the material presented in document releases, but this is strange and obviously a clearly stated belief from someone well-aware of things behind the scenes beyond the knowledge of the general public.

Congress banning some type of speech is specifically what the First Amendment prevents. This is allowed because YouTube's decision is the decision of a private actor.

> given how easy it is for scammers to get people to give away the keys to the kingdom

Restricting API access doesn't help. There are plenty of idiots out there who willingly install remote access software on their computers/phones, fall for "authorized push payment" fraud when scammers tell them to move their money to a "safe account" or to pay overdue "taxes" (gullibility taxes?) over the phone and even use the two-factor card readers despite the "do not use over the phone" text being printed right on them.

I'm not sure how read-only API access would benefit scammers (if people can be tricked into granting API access, they will usually just as well install remote access software or just do the payments manually) but it would open up a nice field of self-contained, on-device money management apps that don't need significant corporate (most likely VC) backing with all the (usually) nasty ramifications that entails.

No one should be subject to death threats. No one should feel afraid to go home. I condemn those that have done this to him.

If there is a silver lining here it is perhaps this will allow him the empathy and wisdom needed to properly moderate similar threats to others on his own platform.

Austin – Python Frame Stack Sampler (or zero-instrumentation profiling) 2.1.1
I am delighted to announce the release 2.1.1 of Austin, an open-source frame stack sampler for CPython. It can be used to obtain statistical profiling data out of a running Python application without a single line of instrumentation. This means that you can start profiling a Python application straight away, even while it's running on a production environment, with minimal impact on performance.

The simplest way of using Austin is by piping its output to FlameGraph or uploading it to speedscope.app for a quick and neat visualisation of the collected samples.

Austin can be installed easily on the following platforms and from the following sources:

Linux:
- Snap Store
- Debian repositories
- Conda Forge

macOS:
- Homebrew
- Conda Forge

Windows:
- Chocolatey
- Scoop

Austin is also simple to compile from sources as it only depends on the standard C library, if you don't have access to the above-listed repositories.

This new release of Austin brings enhanced support for many Python binary distributions across all the supported platforms, as well as a bugfix for the line number reporting. If you rely on Austin 2, upgrading to the latest version is strongly recommended.

Let me also remind you of some of the other existing Python tools powered by Austin, which have also seen new releases in the past few days, and that are easily available from PyPI:

https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin-tui
https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin-web
https://github.com/P403n1x87/pytest-austin

These tools are built using the austin-python library, which is also available from PyPI, with source code hosted at

https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin-python

For anyone wishing to build their own Austin-powered tools, the austin-python documentation is hosted on RTD at

https://austin-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

For what it's worth, your experience is not universal.
I agree the threats are real. When you say "it's not their own decision", do you mean because there are orders/laws banning short-term rentals in D.C. during inauguration? Or do you mean the situation "forced their hand" out of a lack of better options? Because the latter is still their decision, even if it is an obvious one.

I've heard accounts of conferences where the attendees ad-hoc setup a collaborate editing environment while the presentation was going on with the facility wifi, and organized notes, formed questions and generally improved the quality of the interaction with the group. IMHO this goes a long away to replacing the "peer to peer" interaction when you're in the audience, and has a potential to engage the learners more.

I imagine K-12 Remote learning is hesitant to do that so as to not lose control of the messaging. The teacher has enough burden to make sure their lesson is communicated effectively; that moderating a realtime chat is just not possible.

From my own anecdotal experience with my kids, I have one is super hesitant to stick their neck out and participate where the whole group can see (either on video, or embarrassed for asking too many questions), where this model might bring more anxiety.

This is frustratingly not an easy problem to solve.
To me workaholism is giving too much time to your main job.

Harry Reid funded the "Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program" with 22$ millions per year from 2007 to 2012 to research UFOs.

And most of that money went to Robert Bigelow. Which happens to be friend of Harry Reid, is interested in UFOs and has donated money to Reid's campaigns (what a coincidence!)

But the program was secret. Because, you know, aliens. And national security. Until its existence was revealed in 2017 - the year Reid retired from politics.

I remember thinking how blatant and ingenious this corruption scheme was when I first heard of it. He gave money to his friends and even when it's publicly known nobody associates it with corruption because of "aliens"
Can anyone recommend a product similar in nature to the initial beginnings of Dropbox - a client that syncs a folder to the cloud and allows you to access/easily share those files? Not just rsync or a command line thing.

I tried the Google Drive client for this (for Mac) and it was just a huge memory/resource hog, way worse than the initial DropBox client. But if someone just had "Dropbox as it was in like, 2010", that would be killer.
