But as other’s said, a disabled by default way to sideload apps on the very hardware I paid for should be a given freedom of mine. They should not be able to sell a “way of life”, but only a hardware software platform layer on top of which I as a user should be able to decide for myself what I want.

(Also, I find the App Store’s recommendation engine pretty terrible unfortunately, discovery is pretty much impossible)
One reason #METOO came to a screeching halt. When it hit the US music industry. Hell their own awards show went out of its way to not award a song many praised for highlighting the issue.
My thoughts as well. This should be pretty easy to monitor in a newsroom setting. Just have a few phones hooked up to recorders saving everything of interest. Worse, it's probably relatively easy to spoof the app and automate the process.

People should never rely on technology to ensure their content remains ephemeral. Snapchat tried and that obviously never worked. There used to be automated tools that could save content out of the cache automatically.

It's too bad she won't live, but then again, who does?!
This might be a dumb question, but why is it way lighter than the US or anywhere in the world? Why do they need to install so many towers? Is there anything specific about Europe's geography that requires European countries to install that much tower?
Except that the carriers hold no power in this relationship anymore. They need the iPhone more than the iPhone needs them. And if every carrier in the service area says "we want bloatware on the phone or we won't sell it", then Apple can just start selling the phones via their retail network (which they already have set up to do everything including interest-free loans).
Who are the culture heroes of today?
Allowing Bootcamp for iOS would solve this.

I am strongly in favor of that. The whole App Store thing is just about some middlemen wanting a cut and has nothing to do with software freedom.

On the other hand bootcamp for iOS - so you could install android, or better yet, a genuinely free OS, would solve the software freedom problem and allow old iOS devices to be repurposed after Apple stops supporting them.
And projects without financial returns too? Projects that challenge VCs other income?

If you can keep things on the level, humans can achieve a lot, there are other goals than just making financial profit.
Hence why I mentioned contract transparency. Don't just publish ideal lists, publish the contracts that actually end up being signed. That would also fix the obfuscating-middle-man problem (reseller-001 still needs to be defined somewhere).
> _Are_ cancels intended to be permanent?

I mean, I'm no authority on any of this. But my impression is that most of the high profile cancelations I've seen have no attached list of demands at which point the person is considered to have made amends and can return to their previous stature.

> Am I correctly interpreting that as a cancel?

Unless you were publicly telling other people that they shouldn't stream her then I wouldn't interpret it as any kind of "cancel". We're all free to stop consuming from anyone for whatever reason we like. That's not canceling people, it's just having a preference.
I am aware of that definition. It is also unfalsifiable. The only way to measure that is to take the average, but by definition for every market winner there is a market loser, so on average of course the return of the market will be.. . The average return of the market.

The efficient market hypothesis and the idea of efficient markets in general is not supported by evidence.
I had the rare opportunity to serve in the military (non-US) after my Ph.D. It was one of the best experiences of my life, and I think you're exactly correct in your assessment that it is often overlooked by urban, left-leaning, highly-educated folk, and that this is an unfortunate loss.

Happy to answer any questions.
There are ton of apps they won't allow. Firefox and Chrome are two big ones (with their own render engines). A python interpreter. Anything with porn.

Basically, go to the Cydia store and look at any app in there. Why can't the Cydia store be allowed?
On the other hand the reason why so many modern economies have "outsourced" the decision making on central banking is because when it was up to them, they'd pull the short-term gain, long-term collapse lever too often.

This is generally advice in the private sector too, in case a lawsuit happens.
I think true freedom of speech is an impossibility of the same vein as freedom of action. Your speech is generally half of an interaction with one or more listeners and forcing their precipitation is impinging on their freedoms.

It is also generally recognized that there is such a thing as dangerous speech but I don't think we even need to start including that category of speech to hit a contradiction - that said we can and should strive to allow as much freedom in expression as possible.
Rush Limbaugh hosted a regular segment on his show where he would read off the names of gay men that died of AIDS and celebrate it with bells and horns in the background.

I'm not one to celebrate people's death, but I will sleep a little easier tonight knowing that he now belongs in the past.
Answer to the headline: When the app in question is a proprietary app that ostensibly wants to boost engagement using whatever industry standard and novel methods it can find, just like every other proprietary social network.

If it takes off it will go through the same problems that every other unregulated online-casino-posing-as-a-neutral-social-network has gone through. Oops, kids are using it. Sorry. Oops, turns out we're boosting engagement with white supremacist clubs. Sorry. And so forth.

If a factory for get-rich-quick schemes makes it difficult to leave a trail of the damage it's inflicting on its user base, I'm not sure in which moral universe that could be considered a desirable feature.
Doesn’t get you shares on Twitter though so shoulds aren’t relevant.
I am not the OP but I do. I'd love to use small color e-ink displays for low power indicator displays on equipment I design. I only run into it with hand held battery stuff, so for stuff I plug in it's kind of a non-issue.

Feel free to visit my website and send an email if you think you've got something that we could work together to get into some of my clients' projects. If it makes the final product more compelling I'm definitely open to it, especially if it runs on trivial drivers that a low power microcontroller can handle.

I'd basically expect a display that works with a chip like a STM32WB (wireless integrated so makes sense to pair with a low power design). https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/microcontrolle...

Of course fancy people have access to Qualcomm parts, so I understand if that's what you're aiming for. But if it's suitable for a bit less fancy of microcontroller chips and has a reasonable price I'd love to replace the literal LCD displays we're still stuck on because I guess it's 1996 in the realm of equipment prototyping.
But it will, which is the exact problem: Let's pretend for a second that I want the Facebook app, as a lot of people apparently do. At the moment, if Facebook wants to be able to run on iOS devices (which they do), they're forced to go through the app store and all that entails. They're forced by Apple to play ball and do things they most assuredly do not want to do. Tracking notifications, permissions notifications, no using 'private APIs' to get around those restrictions, etc.

If there's a viable third party app store without these restrictions, Facebook will immediately jump on it, and immediately start tracking users with no notifications in probably the most invasive way they can get away with.

The upshot is that thanks to this hidden "enable side loading apps" button if I wanted to use the Facebook app, I would have to use the scummy privacy invading version, and that's most definitely a regression.
Agreed. I’ve been there almost 20 years now and still read the forums every day. It was weird to read this article and not even see SA called out as the original source. I think maybe a lot of old humor during SA’s heyday was like that.
Population density is significantly higher in Europe than in the US.
They're famous for patent-trolling and disrupting anyone elses effort's to do anything with the tech.

Kind of like Halloween Document era Microsoft, but for e-ink display's instead of PC's.
You can see Harvey Weinstein applauding at 1:17 in the linked video.
There is no choice for good hardware, non-walled garden and no tracking. Choose two. If there is, please show me and I will be the first in line.

Android forks would be great but unfortunately phones come with plenty of firmware that gets wiped on flashing a new OS. And if the question is a possibly non-working camera than I personally will remain in the walled garden, but not happily.
Talking to other people has always had repercussions.
Damn all you journalists are loving this, here's a tip download a code editor and take a screenshot.
At best, you may be able to justify black boxes providing secondary indicators: Maybe using AI to study cancer detection might lead you to a new solid discovery, but "we use AI to determine if you have cancer" should never be the mission, as it fails to generate useful information about how it is detected.
In the specific case of Clubhouse, it was and possibly still is leaking channel and user IDs in cleartext over UDP.[0] I have no idea whether the NYT is referring to this.

> People could simply exchange their domestic currencies for foreign currencies of more stable countries

Most of the developed nations are competitively devaluing their currencies. If one country does it, they gain a trade advantage: their exports are relatively cheaper on the world market, so consumption flows to their industries and makes them wealthy. Therefore once one country does it, they all have to do it, lest all their export industries become uncompetitive and they lose those jobs.

I've heard some speculation (nicely backed up by data [1]) that the real reason we couldn't follow through with monetary tightening 2015-2018 is because it created a carry trade of investors borrowing in Euros and investing in dollars [2], which led to a continual outflow of dollars out the door.

If hyperinflation hits it will likely hit nearly all the developed world in short succession. If the dollar goes, all investors are going to dump dollars for Euros, but if they do that the value of the Euro will skyrocket, which means European exports will become super expensive and Euro-denominated debt will be harder to pay off, which will spur European central banks to dump more Euros into the system. As long as we have free capital flows there's no way around this: inflation in one fiat currency will lead to inflation in others. That's why people are looking for non-fiat currencies. (You're right that tradable assets like stocks can fulfill this job rather than cryptocurrency, though.)

You don't read Frozen. You watch Frozen.

You watch it in first grade through maybe through eighth grade, but probably at that point, you're too embarrassed to go to a little children's movie.

As much as I understand the more nuanced messages which could be taken out by a more sophisticated audience, much more so, I see the impact the movie has on actual real-world little kids.

I both read and watched Starship Troopers as an adult.
It's as easy as doing it the exact same way Hey does. "We blocked external trackers in this email, click here to learn more."

I find this interesting. As I recall Bill Gates had a pension for speeding too, accumulating many tickets in his Porsche in both New Mexico and later Washington State.
The App Store will not stop existing if sideloading is made possible
This is one hell of a peak capitalism comment - I already payed tons of money for the richest company in the world, no way I'm bothered them getting that another 30% cut.
"It’s alarming how little we know about the inner-workings of the market, and I am thankful that this Committee is examining what happened. I believe an analysis of GameStop’s recent price action must start with a discussion of the exorbitant short interest in the stock, as well as an investigation into any potentially manipulative shorting practices and brokers’ reported failures to timely deliver shares and settle trades."
Typical supermarket with 60,000 SKUS;

$20 total cost per device

= $1.2m to outfit a store.

/$15 employee gross costs per hour

= 38 years of labour for one store....

Either the # SKUs would have to be lower, or the BOM smaller to justify this.

On the flipside consider the material cost of paper pricing tags, reduced risk of pricing error, ability to change pricing more rapidly, increased customer marketing/attraction.

I'd also imagine that removing this function from individual stores and centralising it would save a considerable amount of store management time.
For the record, I'm not making any statement either for or against "cancel culture" in general, just articulating how I think it differs from boycotts.
I think he's trying to express a point about the gradient is the whole human-communication-technology system than precise properties of any part of it. And I say "express" rather than "make a point" because I don't think he expects to convince anyone. It's summed-up life experience, not a proof.
> > That tolerance is gone at Google and “words” > “content” is the new Silicon Valley mantra of political correctness. You can say terrible things as long as your pronouns are correct or can say super important things but use one wrong word and it's off to HR for you

I find that people who make this comparison are usually highly un-empathetic, and are not as decent in their hearts as they their own self-image suggests.

#1: Words matter. I used to think they didn't either. "It's just words". But they matter. That "slur" that you absentmindedly threw out as a joke or a throwaway line in a non-serious context? Someone had that used against them in the past in a threatening, hurtful, aggressive manner. It's not a joke to them. So why should they be forced to endure reliving a past trauma just because you didn't bother updating your slang since the 90's?

#2: When you get down deep enough, you find a lot of time these folks have worse things going on in their hearts than they let on. Even in this example. "So long as your pronouns are correct" makes me think this person thinks preferred pronouns are a ridiculous waste of time, and are irrelevant. Just what I can infer from their analogy.

Which makes me think that this person is not an ally or a supporter of trans/non-binary folks, and his problems go far deeper than just using the "wrong words".
you have zero impact on the environment and never will. buy whatever technology you want.
C# and C++ are my two favorite languages. Both designed by Danish people. TypeScript is on my "kinda wanna learn" list.

Even the danes themselves have a hard time with their language [1], yet they're involved in producing some of the greatest computer language. Coincidence?

For me C# hit's the spot for everything that isn't absolutely performance critical and doesn't have to run in a browers (aware of Blazor and such, but I don't wanna load a runtime into a runtime). Typesystem is sound, reflection to help where it isn't enough. I love it.

How exactly would you modify branch predictor state without self modifying code? I am very interested in this.

Another major question: a lot of x86 ops for manipulating things you want to manipulate are ring 0 instructions.

We haven’t even discussed the effect of somewhat non deterministic delays caused by contention from other processes. This can change the true execution order of instruction inside the pipes, even if you somehow manage to enforce in order issue.
Honestly email tooling is sort of junky that it makes it hard to consistently apply rules. I use mac OS mail, so maybe that's why. Rules seem to be selectively applied, and if you try to get fancy with multiple conditions don't be surprised if the results vary. Also, none of this has feature parity with iOS, so rules are only applied if my macbook is open and actively applying them; my iPhone doesn't have the ability to process rules itself. Maybe this could be fixed with some third party software, but I'd rather not grow dependent on the continued mercy of third party software developers as I've been burned doing that too many times before.

All of this headache, however, is eliminated if you just move this sort of content to a decent feed reader to begin with, where every single option out there has filtering options baked in.

The Suburban Wasteland: How the Burbs Eviscerate the Environment
Thanks for the pointer. First time I hear about Enpass.

The UI looks nice, but I still don't get their company model. Data are stored on a third party cloud provider of your choice, so why is Enpass subscription-based? I surmise that paying removes some sort of ads from the apps, but I can't tell for sure. If that's the case, I'll have to pass.

Quick description, Conda is like a supercharged "pip" from the Python world, and now supports other languages too. So it's like an npm/nvm as well, and beyond.

I'd like to know more about security though, as obviously this could be a huge single point of failure, but otherwise Conda is awesome.
This is the highlight for me:

> We’re defining a new hot code reload model that we can offer for all app types. It’s likely at least some of this feature will be implemented in the runtime, and we’re committed to doing that with both CoreCLR and Mono.

> We want to enable a very fast build, and even faster operations for code changes that can skip the build entirely, as a new standard feature of .NET.
All this is because money lending is a business. We've known for literally thousands of years (Islam, Judaism, Christianity at least) that lending money with interest is predatory, harmful, and destructive. Couple that with the government being able to print money at will to cover its ever increasing debts (again, due to interest), and we see how the hole keeps getting deeper.

It saddens me that we don't learn from past wisdom, and that greed drives the world. We see people vouch for clean energy, what we also need is clean finance and economics.
A situation like this can arise without new features, whether grafted onto an existing form or not. All it takes is a use case for which the system was not designed (which seems quite likely here), but which can just about be accomplished by abusing the purpose of the existing system.

One software-independent thing Citi could have done that might have reduced the risk of procedures like this would have been a rule that the reviewers must reconvene, and all concur, before proceeding past a warning.
Don't really needs a thread, using images for email tracking is a old and well known technique, but whatever maybe there are more people that don't know that in the end
Honestly, I doubt the Quest line of products would have launched when they did with such a low price if FB was not running the show. Quest 1/2 might not even exist at all. The original founders were mostly focused on PC VR. Carmack was the odd one out in that respect in pushing for standalone VR (as can be seen with the Samsung GearVR).
Wouldn't it be technically possible to reduce the backlight for LCD displays at night? Seeing that it itsn't happening I have little hope that e-ink displays wouldn't be illuminated to the maximum as well ("out ads should be as bright and vibrant as possible!")
You're interpreting women's actions purely through the lense of how it affects the men around her. Then coupled that with a heavy insinuation that everything is sexual. Almost like a woman's primary purpose is to please a man.

That's a deeply mysoginistic and dangerous world view. You probably tell yourself all guys think like this, and you're the only one who has the guts to admit it. But that is absolutely not true.
> Seems like a VERY expensive way to keep prices up to date. The BOM cost on one of those little guys has to be north of $10

That's nothing, even after markup and multiplying it around all the shelves, consider the wages you have to pay for people to go around continuously re-stickering everything. I'm pretty sure it would pay off in under a month and reduce errors... freeing staff to do more useful things. What i'm sure will _not_ be paid off in a month is the cost of integrating it into existing pricing systems.

However I think there is a more practical reason why it's not suited to most supermarkets: they are constantly moving things around due to different products coming and going and different parts shrinking and growing, so why bother with digital labels when you have to keep physically moving them anyway.

Facebook bans news sharing in Australia
Sure, but my point is that the thread author said:

> 2. A yoga studio that was so woke they had gender-neutral bathrooms and person-of-color yoga nights where “white friends and allies” were asked to “respectfully refrain from attending” has closed down due to racial accusations.

That was a lie. Kindness Yoga didn’t close down. So I’d advise others to take the thread author’s words with a grain of salt.
I am taking the point that "all humans do good and bad things" as a response to the commentary on Polanski, as a kind of excuse for Polanski or as saying that we shouldn't be too harsh or "cancel" Polanski because, after all, all humans do good and bad things.

The point I'm trying to make in return is that while it is true that all humans do good and bad things, some humans, like Polanski, do genuinely terrible things, and the fact that all humans do bad things should not be an excuse for ignoring or looking over genuinely terrible things.

Is Epic's fight technical or business related? I can't figure it out. Sometimes it's about payment processor choice, other times it's about the revenue share. Which is it? Even though Apple collects the revenue share through its payment processor, these seem like completely separate issues. Apple could easily let Epic transact using it's own payments infrastructure yet also invoice them for the 30% of those transactions.
