Part of the problem is that quarantine means different things to different people and places. North American and European quarantine seems to have been almost entirely ineffective. Too loose to help and too invasive to not hurt.

It's hard to prove anything, especially because my government's policy is specifically not to tell us where people are infected, city, store, or class of activity, nor infections by capita, etc.

Here they ban playing tennis on outdoor tennis courts (but not other exercise usage of the court, such as weight lifting and dancercize - both of which I've seen there during Covid) while allowing people to sit near each other at the bar and drink. There's a chance that tennis balls are that much more infectious, but it seems likely that political issues got in the way of proper medical advice...

Also, leaving supermarkets open as opposed to totally roadside pickup probably wasted most of the effect of closing everything else. And failing to properly compensate small businesses led to many breaking the rules and going back early just to be able to eat.

So I think people in some places do have a good excuse to be mad about the manipulation. If my government locks me down I want to know that they really think it'll fix something and when I look at other governments versus my own, I don't get that feeling.

Then maybe it's time to make laws that prohibit Google and Apple from wielding this power.

We're letting the majority of customers that are okay with these decisions punish the minority.

Platforms already wield undue economic power and impose stresses on small players that the utopia of pre-smartphone web didn't have. Dealing with these fat clowns is a joke. Natural technology by itself imposes no such limits. They've enshrined themselves in market position and laws, and they're printing monkey without adding benefit or developing the features app developers are driving.

It's time Apple and Google stopped being marketplaces.
These things exist in other countries.

E.g. with e-Invoicing in Sweden, your electricity company, credit card company etc send the bill to your bank, it shows up as a PDF in your online banking, and you confirm or deny it there. If you want it to be auto-confirmed (e.g. utility bills), that's a setting on the bank end of things, not the utility end of things.
I've said it before, and I'll say it now: private companies can ban what they want! It's good for corporations to have ethics, even if I don't agree with said ethics, whether it's banning Gab or this.

It's their constitutional right, and it's a responsibility that comes with having the power they do.
Another problem is you grant access to all repositories. Say you want to use a ci service to build your software, you need to grant them access to _all_ repositories but you only wanted to use them for one project. Github permissions should have an optional opt-in feature to only let the provider see the repositories you want them to show.

Likewise. Hearing Michael Burry recently talk about hyperinflation as a possibility, albeit a small one, is also frightening.

I don't know if gold is under threat, but there's certainly historical precedent for it, as mentioned in the article.

For Bitcoin, India and China have both been taking small steps toward limiting or banning it. Western media and influential figures (Bill Gates) have been recently talking about how wasteful it is.

No matter your arguments on either topic, the fact remains that governments can limit their own citizenry, by threat of force, from transacting with any instrument.

It felt to me the parent comment was trying to discredit graduated tax or the idea of redistributing wealth to some level by giving an extreme hyperbolic example, which is a logical fallacy known as the appeal to extremes.

I just wanted to point out the idea of taxing more for bigger sum isn't a bad one (or at least this silly extreme example isn't a good reason to justify it being bad). It makes sense for rich people to still be the richest even after the tax if we assume they're more proportionally responsible for the size of the pie itself, but everyone who contributed to the pie even if only as a delivery driver, or waitress, needs a slice of the pie as well, and so it similarly makes sense to want to make sure the distribution of it are proportionally fair to all and meets some minimum standards.

And doing those two things aren't mutually exclusive, and it's pretty much what the US has been doing for centuries.

I feel saying a 100% tax on the 1% would only pay for a few months of society is just misrepresenting things. First off because that's not anyone's actual proposal, every proposal to tax the 1% would still leave them as the 1% even after the tax, it would simply reduce the gap between max and min. And secondly it's not like the 1% income will just stop, they receive income year over year, which is how taxation sustain itself and how the whole system sustain itself, each year tax applies again and again to everyone, with proportions adjusted to sustain the system while keeping the richest person as the richest and the poorest as the poorest, but limiting the gap and raising up the min.

As a Linux loving hacker, this sounds fun to play with.

But pragmatically, how does something like this stack up against an iPad/iPadOS? If I'm to believe the press, Apple's chips are quite a ways ahead of the competition. And as much as I love developing on Linux running lxqt, I get the impression that display stacks and application development kits are also way behind in terms of efficiency, power use, and just general programmability/accessibility. Am I a victim of bad press. I'm honestly curious whether they're even in the same realm.

If anything, something old school like Enlightenment or Sawfish would be fun to play with on one of these, just for the sheer "trick it out" ethos.

> You probably shouldn't be sending back >8kb error messages to the client. The server should log error details locally and the logs should be inspected or scraped separately. The client doesn't need to know the full details like the contents of a variable length DS

You shouldn't, but it's easy to accidentally do. Having a limit on the server and a limit on the client that's (by default) half the limit on the server seems like an unforced error - given that the server does truncate at a certain limit, surely it would be better for that limit to be smaller than the default client limit. Postel's law and all that.

Works well as long as you justify the cost of the control plane.
Right. It’s a surprisingly common fallacy that holding to maturity somehow makes one whole despite rising inflation.

One way to expose the fallacy is perhaps by the thought experiment of selling on the secondary market a day or a week before maturity. Prices of any highly liquid bond will have converged toward redemption value, differing by no more than some small epsilon.

This isn't a bad thing. People who want native apps from a source other than Apple or Google can pretty easily get them: Cydia's existed longer than the App Store has, and Google makes it easy to sideload anything.

The world doesn't owe you a business model, and you can't take away people's rights because you want a better way to sell your wares.

One interesting thing is that using reservoir sampling "Algorithm L"[0], you can actually get an unbiased sample with overhead proportional to the logarithm of CPU time. That would require more state and work in the server to aggregate, though. On the other hand, moving overhead from the process to the aggregation server is useful if you want to run profiling in production.

The text answers the question: The central banks are buying the bonds in a scheme that essientially boils down to print money until debt levels no longer matter.

The money printing causes:

- Inflation (as in rising consumer prices)

- Massive swings and bubbles in the financial markets

- Increasing wealth inequality

This has happened until now in a global coordinated manner. This was also the policy after 2008.

However it seems that challenge today is that China is not willing to print money at same level as Europe and USA. The question is what happens then?

Yes. The Chinese currency will go up compared to the dollar and the euro. However I think effects will go much further than that. The stability of the west will be challenged and the dominance of our financial markets will decay.

In the end, the existance of a big economy, that does not embark in the same aggressive monetary policy as we do, will put a hard limit on how far we can go.
Here's the next achievable goal to fight for: I want the fee structure Microsoft provides on the Microsoft Store.

Microsoft takes only a 5% cut if customers click on a link on my website with my referral code, taking them directly to the store details page.

Otherwise, they take a 15% cut.

> consumer applications (not including games) sold in Microsoft Store will deliver to developers 95% of the revenue earned from the purchase of your application or any in-app products in your application, when a customer uses a deep link to get to and purchase your application. When Microsoft delivers you a customer through any other method, such as in a collection on Microsoft Store or any other owned Microsoft properties, and purchases your application, you will receive 85% of the revenue earned from the purchase of your application or any in-app products in your application

This change directly impacts minnows, it's a revenue cut for companies making less than a million dollars, not more.

And if your point is that it took a company as large as Epic raising a fuss to get that change, well... why should I care? It's still a change that will help smaller developers.

Honestly, I don't get HN's position on this. When Epic sued, people complained that Epic was too big and progress would only be made if an ideologically pure company pushed for it. When conversation started talking about regulation, I heard people complain that it wasn't going to go anywhere and that regulators didn't care. Then when other companies like Hey and Microsoft started joining in making statements against current app store terms, people complained there weren't going to be any changes, that this was just a farce that would result in at best a backroom deal with Epic and/or Microsoft that wouldn't affect smaller devs.

Now there's a tangible policy change that will have a huge impact on smaller devs, and the complaint is that the wrong company had a role in it? What do you want?
Apple's chips are definitely faster and as an iPad user of since the first ones available, Apple UI stacks are really good. Especially now, since they're being aligned across the platforms. There's definitely stuff to complain about but I don't think this is meant to be an iPad competitor. There's been a shortage of proper tablets and alternatives in general.
It's mostly right. "Early pioneers" is wrong, since the idea of neural networks predates backpropagation, but by the turn of the millenium they really were regarded as old fashioned, and attention had moved to things like support vector machines and Adaboost.

2. PowerVR graphics make mainlining this device unlikely, meaning that it’s going to be stuck on a Vendor kernel and libhybris, as that Vendor kernel has likely been released with Android devices in mind. This is OK, but it’s not good long term.

3. Their marketing is a bit over the top, full of lofty claims that often aren’t technically true as has already been discussed here.

Perhaps I'm not being direct enough. In the past, through various practices and substances I experienced what felt like a complete erasure of all rules - if something could be thought, it could be made real. This spun out of control and felt extremely dangerous to me, and scared me to the point of emotional paralysis and near psychosis for months. It was not past trauma that frightened me but a complete unveiling of what seemed like infinite possibilty that my weak mind was not ready for. I hear a lot about waking up trauma and past experiences and what not and I feel I could handle these sorts of awakenings - I'm more curious about meditation opening doors to new realities that I may not be prepared for, unveiling of normally hidden layers our world, tests of death and dissolution, etc. Maybe this is the "woo" side you and the OP are talking about.
