To defend Apple here - if they allowed “donations” with only a 5% fee you’d have thousands of developers offing “free premium” to “donators”.

What Apple needs is a curated system to support open source development for apps - for example, after proving that you really are a non-profit (think Mozilla foundation) Apple could still charge the 30% but then rebate 20% back as a donation from Apple itself. Win/win.
Obviously a kids app is a bad place to sell liquor.
It's only a paradox if you think abundance can't possibly be bad, or if you think that an abundance is the only way to counteract a shortage. Well, just wait until you're in an abundance of water.
> Apple only notarizes those in the App Store.

To be pedantic, this is not notarization. The term notarization only applies to software distributed outside the the App Store. The developers themselves sign the software with a Developer ID code signing certificate, and then Apple notarizes the signed software.

Whereas software distributed in the Mac App Store is all signed by Apple itself rather than by the developer.
Which is a bit like telling a heroin addict to just Stop Doing Drugs!

At our core, we're still stupid monkeys. We cannot help ourselves on an individual level. The platforms must take this responsibility, there is no other way.
I've started the push to get my core friends group off WhatsApp. It has been our primary means of communication for years, so it will be sad to lose our historic data such as chat threads, groups, and images.

Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on how to migrate data across to another platform? I'm sure most will not be possible, but I would like to at least migrate our images, ideally not manually.
This is a TOS problem that I could personally not care less about. The bigger issue is that even though you're running in a VM, you're not going to get all the necessary hardware working for Mac OS. For me, I couldn't get my graphics drivers properly set up and as such couldn't get any OpenGL stuff to work as it would be on a real mac, so it was a no-go.

At least you can XCode working and do macOS builds.
The builds your phone comes with are not, and replacing them with your own assumes availability of things like unlocked bootloader.

And then, of course, applications like your banking won't work, because they require Google SafetyNet attestation for your security.
It's the same case with big German companies (Siemens, Bosch, BMW, Porsche, etc.). Senior management positions are only awarded to ethnic Germans so it's quite ironic to hear them complain when they get the same treatment at foreign companies.

This mentality is somewhat changing, but very slowly and white westerns are still prioritized. You won't see any Indians run German auto companies any time soon like you see them running major US tech companies.
Not something you can advertise alcoholic drinks alongside, at least in most countries.
The entitlement those people have is ridiculous. They are literally not paying anything for the service and come in demanding things.

It's funny that all these people moving away from WhatsApp (for no good reason, IMO. Facebook can't read your private or group messages anyways thanks to e2e) and think the free app they downloaded will have the same level of features as the one funded by a multi-billion company.

Get real.
Google reveals sophisticated Windows and Android hacking operation
That attitude here on HN boggles my mind. Almost every person I talk to about this site IRL mentions it. It's a defining feature of the community that no one likes.

In that situation I’d take the emails in a “welcome to my hell” frame of mind instead of a “why are they pissed at me”.

It’s also true of much enterprise software - it’s often as good as the developers could make it given the constraints they were working with.

People don't read news because they enjoy hearing about crime and corruption. They don't read about the Peter Madsen Murder case because they enjoy the thought of chopped up people.

Blaming the user for engaging by subconscious impulse in a machine designed with every psychological trick in the book to force you to do just that, to optimize screen time at any cost, is just wrong. Assigning interest, joy, or even conscious intent to that engagement is very, very wrong.

The only thing you can do is remove the app, but it won't take long before you run into the next abusive machine. And quite frankly, as with any other intentionally addictive interaction, it is not easy to realize the problem and remove it.

Yes, and they didn't invent the practice. Standard Oil brought competitors into its fold in order to maintain its pricing power and dominate the petroleum market.

>we are going to see some sort of professional regulation in software engineering

That could trivially exist. There is PE licensing in other areas of engineering (and used to be in software) although it's not super-common outside of civil engineering given the purpose is mostly to sign off on stuff that goes to government regulators. Of course, it probably doesn't make much of a difference--the ACM and IEEE already have codes of ethics. And, by the way, that now means you probably can't be a software engineer if you don't have a 4-year degree from an accredited school along with some other requirements.

I think a good part of it is that you can be annoyed by a piece of software and not be able to articulate it beyond “it sucks” - and then you find someone who wrote a detailed article that explains all your pain perfectly.

And even though it was Christmas Eve you send it off partially in disgust and partially in a “maybe this explanation makes it clear”.
That hasn’t been true in my experience using software from Microsoft, Google, Apple, Signal, etc. It seems like most projects only get serious about that after user outcry unless they’re staffed by very experienced engineers.

Are campaign finance limits taking away people's political rights? I suppose they are, relative to unlimited rights, but I still think they are necessary because they they tilt the balance toward democracy instead of plutocracy. For the same reason, I'm opposed to unlimited in-kind contributions, and also to censorship and "reverse boycotts".
There was a learning curve at first but now most of the students are able to login to their correct classes at the right times which blows me away. The fact 5-year olds are able to more or less keep their own schedule and do assignments on their Chromebook should not be a surprise I guess but it still blows my mind.

I don't want to doubt you, but... really? My experience of 5-year-olds is they don't have any meaningful concept of time at all; surely the parents must be plonking them in front of the computers at the right time and nagging them to complete their assignments, right?

It sounds like your wife is doing a fantastic job!
> Tens of billions of dollars in financial assistance from the Chinese government helped fuel Huawei Technologies Co.’s rise to the top of global telecommunications, a scale of support that in key measures dwarfed what its closest tech rivals got from their governments.

Are you sure? One of the bigger reasons why Huawei is having troubles with rolling out it's hardware (routes, 5G) in Europe and US is how entangled they are with the government.

Just because we don't have perfect knowledge at any one point in time doesn't mean every single idea throughout history is valid. Overtime, discoveries are made, models are refined, textbooks are updated, and as the evidence presents itself, you keep marching forward with the best available information you have.
Instead of focusing their attention by telling them how bad it is, give them something else to do and introduce you them to other children raised with similar values
Sure, but that doesn’t mean I have to view it as an acceptable choice if a maintainer leverages a large user base for notoriety and then fails to prioritize that user base’s needs. They can do that, and I can express frustration that it’s an unacceptably poor failure if they do, in more ways than just declining to use their software.
Not quite, given that macOS has userspace replacements for some kernel extension functions and has been gaining more as time goes on.

iOS is far more restricted in this regard — for instance, writing a driver for your USB HID device isn’t possible there, but it is on macOS, and that capability isn’t disappearing. I don’t think iOS has any of the new virtualization APIs added in Big Sur, either.

That said, the userspace APIs need to be made much more robust before kexts are deprecated, and so to me that is what Apple should be pressured to do. Kernel extensions should be a last resort, not the go-to solution, because the reality is that they’re a security nightmare and have been readily abused (remember the mess with Dropbox of all things installing a kext?)
It seamlessly adapts your stream to what it believes will increase “engagement“. That's a different thing to “what it believes you'd like to see”.
How is it that TikTok and other services like this are allowed to grant accounts to minors without parental consent?
No. People believe that the dynamics of “free markets” where people have choices of what to consume/purchase lead to ever increasing quality. The author is claiming a the paradox in the markets of food/information where this is not true — abundance of choice ruins outcomes for most people while improving it for some.

I believe he is correct.
A possible scenario, maybe.

For a while I toyed with the idea of buying one of those Toshiba laptops with Solaris.
> I'd argue that the biggest difference is that the government money was very free flowing, and often goal-oriented and who actually got it was a detail that wasn't even taken into account unless you failed to deliver. Meanwhile a lot of EU funding grants, depending on country, involves a lot of paperwork instead of just govt buying from you.

That's an interesting point. I believe this paperwork is there to prevent corruption somehow. Yet, from the unshakeable position and government ties of the old industry one might conclude that the result was exactly the opposite.

I just came here to share what I learned yesterday about AppRun and about Svelte recently. Today I might read about hyperapp.

JSX in AppRun is optional. You can use lithtml or just html. https://apprun.js.org/docs/#/06-view-patterns

I'm not React dev although my last job was in React, previous was in Angular.js, the one before that in backbone.js and the one before that in jQuery, and the one before that in IE5.5 raw JavaScript.

JSX is pretty established and focused (optional) language extension which I was initially cautious about as well. Svelte extensions feel for me a bit more adhoc and mandatory.

I'm judging and comparing because I'm interested in frameworks and templating engines. Building stuff to judge something is fine but I have no need to build anything at the moment so I prefer now reading the code of stuff that other people have built and consider if it's a pleasant read for me. Svelte isn't same way angular.js wasn't. AppRun is, possibly even more than React was (at least the React before hooks).

EDIT

Hyperapp looks similar but as far as I can tell it doesn't have event bus.

I worked with one large project (google maps competitor) in raw JS that used event bus and it was really amazing how much you could understand about it just hooking yourself to the bus and inspecting all events that go through there, knowing that nothing happens behind your back.

So that's a clear win for me in AppRun vs hyperapp.

Although AppRun seems to have one event bus per component so hooking up to all of them might require a bit of effort and tickery.

Another thing is stateful components. Hyperapp doesn't have clear way of making stateful components. People are just winging it in various ways.
These social products are being marketed like tobacco cigarettes of old. Start by targeting kids with addictive and polluting products. Add the vaunted "network effect" and they'll find quitting ain't easy. Finally add "enhancements" to make the product palatable enough so that they can get'em young and keep them smoking.
You don't need to consider every state individually to solve a game. For example if you have a game on a 100x100 board and the only goal is to move your piece to the other side you can know you have found the optimal solution if you can do it in 99 moves (assuming that you move 1 per turn).

In the chess scenario if you can prove that there is a set of moves where you win no matter what the other colour does then you have solved the game. You don't need to consider every possible game, just the games reachable within this set of moves.

Solving chess would be proving that "From starting position black can win every time" (or the same for white). You don't need to prove how to win from every possible board state.
Because the equivalent app is also used in China, where its wholly illogical that the government would allow an app dedicated to "corrupting the youth".

Naming the product "Cologuard" was a great opportunity squandered.

I can't wait until the people who spent their formative years sharing shock images on IRC and calling people nasty things on 4chan and don't get offended easily (i.e. the people who graduated high-school after the internet became common but before "real name" social media became common) are old enough to be the ones calling the shots in the workplace. We're already starting to see the effect in low stakes and low formality area, e.g. Wendy's twitter account but it hasn't really taken off yet.
Yet they host the competitors and give them a distinct advantage. How am I supposed to get the Parler app now that it’s banned?
I only joined to follow some people from other platforms, so my recommendations were pretty much immediately affected, but stuff from my region has been creeping in lately. Just curious, do you get the feeling that those types of things might be of common interest where you are?
Another alternative is just greatly reducing the power of the federation. There's definitely some benefit to being a large country, such as loose borders and a common currency.

Another thing to consider is that some states are rich, some are not. In many countries, it's because the big cities are getting rich off the less developed, but resource rich states. You'd have taxes heavily distributed to industrialised or develop highways in an industrial state. The poorer states are used for oil or corn farming. A richer state processes that into soda. And an even richer city has all the CEOs, lawyers, marketers, banks, etc, used to power that soda company.
I don't know anyone, prominent or not, that thinks everyone is the SAME. It's trivial for anyone to see identical twins aren't even the same, so unless there is evidence that a "large proportion" of people think this, I assume it's a made up scenario.

I'm also familiar with quite a few cultures around the world, and they all seem to have concepts of being born "gifted" or some version of being naturally talented.
My children are 16, 15, 14. They are all currently homeschooling in UK lockdown number 3.

All of their lessons are delivered via video (Google Classrooms). The quality of learning seems low, they seem unengaged and only respond to teacher when absolutely forced to. As a parent all I really do is IT support and discourage distraction (put your phone down etc).

In UK lockdown 1 in March there was no video learning. Tasks were emailed the day before. As a family we sat together round the kitchen table worked together. Questions they didn't understand were explained (my wife is a teacher) or googled. They put in about 4hrs each day and the learning experience seemed so much better, even though it took more effort from us as parents.

I don't really have any answers other than online learning for teenagers doesn't replace good teacher lead distraction free instruction in the classroom.

Lol. A hardware manufacturer doing things that results in consumers buy more hardware? That's like a software company discontinuing sales of an old OS in order to sell its latest abomination.

For anyone looking for something similar but who doesn't have access to a 3D printer... I've been using a magnetic laptop mount like this[0] to mount my phone to the side of my lapdock. I haven't tried putting one of these on the top edge of a laptop yet, but I'd imagine it would work; the magnets and the hinge mechanism feel strong enough.

Fair warning, depending on how strong the laptop's hinge is, it might not be able to support the additional weight of a smartphone while staying in place; with my lapdock unfortunately the screen starts falling backwards if it's tilted backwards at an angle at all.

Combine this with regular school and the quality YouTube content and I think all the pieces exist. Maybe the final piece is a syllabus as a service?
