I'm guessing the management failure was engineered from the start. Follow the money.
Google is so very clearly correct to engage in corrective enforcement is the point. Clearly stated rules clearly enforced with algorithmic efficiency likely detected by automated play store screening algorithms.

Centralized digital mediation eliminates froth; no more can we let things slide; we don't bend rules in the way that happen constantly in person to person interactions.

Where to go from here; Perhaps social trust tokens to provide some flex on rules where people have built some levels of trust. I.e if not a game dev farm obfuscating bad things ... Where below certain thresholds have no play store fees for Indy devs? I think Google has some such initiatives. Certainty unity had a progressive license structure that was great for both sides.
Hum... The Bazaar on that book is a very specific way to do things. So specific that I don't think anybody really follows it.

> Can we do away with this myth that patenting something will somehow put knowledge into the open.

They said it's the purpose of the patent system, not the real-world effect. It's very important to remind people of this purpose. Because people (especially lawyers) keep pushing this concept that ownership on a patented idea is some kind of natural right being protected by law. Which is completely opposite to reality, and part of what leads to the system being warped in the way you complain about.
100W is actually really low in the class of two way satellite equipment that's capable of 100 x 15 Mbps speeds or greater.

I am not talking about ordinary cheap consumer grade hughesnet or viasat stuff, but if you were to do the power budget for an idirect x3 modem and a traditional geostationary ku-band VSAT setup with a 20W BUC, the actual AC wall power consumed would be quite a lot more. Just the BUC is going to be 200W.

My knowledge may be out of date, but as of ~2012-2015, Apple generally made free-app-with-paid-subscription services choose between one of the following two options:

1. No sign-up/subscribe/payment buttons in-app, and no links in-app to external payment forms for those purposes, (effectively the app is a convenience for the users you already have) or,

2. Integrate your sign-up/subscription/upgrades available in-app to Apple's systems, and give up a cut for any subscriptions/upgrades that originated via the Apple app. (On this side, you're effectively paying Apple commission for converted leads generated through their app as an advertising channel.)

They included this in part of their review process, and they did not give much leeway. Even linking to your service's website from in-app was risky, if your website was plastered with sign-up/subscribe/upgrade buttons.
Would this approach leak the other domains associated with the Next.js site?

Also the CPAP machine is regulated as a medical device, so then fr is required by the FDA to certify that the machine has a certain lifespan, which includes cycle times on things like switches. It’s likely that a big mechanical device which is over specified in its lifetime is an easy way to solve a problem so design attention can be directed elsewhere.
> Patented drugs are generally awful. The idea that it costs $1B to make a game changing drug is a lie. It costs $1T. The US taxpayer pays 99.9%, and the big pharma company spends a billion to generate some shitty subpar derivative that they can then get monopoly protection on and create an artificial racket supported by false marketing.

This number is impossibly wrong. There were 48 new drugs brought to market in 2019. At an average cost of 1 trillion dollar per drug would mean the entire economy of both the U.S. and Europe were devoted to drug research which just isn't true.
I'd love to hear the story behind this. Are Amazon devices drifting too far from Android to be easily supported?

I'm fine with Firefox dropping niche platforms and focusing resources on actual users. (Most stats don't even cover the Amazon devices; the only mention I could find of Silk usage was 0.02% of traffic.) But it surprises me that Amazon's devices are now far enough off from regular Android that there's a support burden. Anybody here shipping apps for Fire who can explain?
If someone told us to wear a pink thong to save our lives and we obeyed unquestioningly and it turned out to be wrong, we would look like fools.

Texas open up fully a month ago, with only a 5-10% vaccination rate and nothing has happened that was predicted. Even Fauci was stumped when asked why the infection rate wasn't increasing. They're at record low infection rate. Norway and Sweden NEVER shut down or required a mask mandate, and the dire predictions never came true.

Quarantine was wrong, hospital overflow was wrong, the infection rate models were wrong, surface infection was wrong, cloth mask usage was wrong.

Everything was wrong but everyone who obeyed unquestioningly will look like fools if they admit it.

We have to play along with this stupid un-scientific hand-wavy narrative until the media and government decides it's enough, and gently let's the unquestioning acolytes off the hook.
I really hope StarLink completely replaces CenturyLink DSL. CenturyLink DSL 30mbps DOWN and 5mbps UP, real world speed is 2mbps DOWN and 512mbps UP. Never goes above this speed. CenturyLink DSL is a complete rip off. Costs $45 and they charge for the modem $10. $55/month total I would be willing to pay $99/month if it had at least real world speed of 30mbps DOWN and 5mbps UP ^_^
Yup. You're right. You can do that.

You then have the problem of writing and maintaining the code for the IAP, which isn't always trivial. But yes, absolutely do-able.

At this point it's the same thing as selling an invisible skin for your app. The fundamental issue is that of selling vs donating.

> Google provides a service, but they also require everyone to use their service.

Not really if you consider huawei without a play store. Also consider the IE case where microsoft only was forced to allow a browser chooser window. I think if the same would happen on android all would be fine.

> There is no realistic alternative if you want to reach the 70% of the market Google controls.

I think just because they are big they shouldn't be forced to allow everyone to use their platform.
I have a friend who used to work at Valve as a software engineer - he mentioned to me that the entire source networking stack is chock full of unchecked buffers and all sorts of potential for fairly trivial RCEs, but due to Valve's internal structure (or lack thereof) there really isn't any incentive for anyone to fix them.

This was 5-6 odd years ago and he no longer works there, so things might have changed, but based on this tweet it seems unlikely.
Sure, if you add extra remapping hardware, nonvolatile storage, and eat the performance penalties. Makes sense for massive quantities of crappy cheap flash, not so much for this.
I recently received an email from them saying that they are now helping small developers, cutting back their cut on the each game you sell. Seems pretty decent of them.

Maybe publish you game (supported by donations) on platforms that encourage such practices, such as itch.io or outpan.
Here are a few ways off the top of my head that don't require exploiting Wayland or gaining access to the `input` group (or whatever group owns the /dev/input/* events), using nothing more than a local shell under your user account:

* Using ptrace(2) to hook into your running processes and grabbing key data that way

* Adding a LD_PRELOAD around your application launcher (via your .bashrc or some other auto-exec script) to have it intercept key events for your application

* Downloading and mounting a FUSE filesystem image with the /dev/input device nodes owned by your user ID instead of root.

* Use one of the multitude of privilege-escalation CVEs on the Linux desktop to gain root, and keylog you that way [1].

Come back when you understand the problem.

It wouldn't count as prior art for the purpose of invalidating the patent unless his idea was in some way identifiable during a reasonable search for prior art. From a legal perspective, prior art is usually interpreted as the available information about the thing being patented. If your friend told you about it over drinks at a bar, that's not prior art. For that matter, trade secrets for even very old things aren't prior art either because the information is not available. If your friend wrote a blog post that hit the mainstream media, or at least the front page of HN, it gets to be a bit of a grey area.
I setup without use of the router or app.
Well, he does profit from the app store. I don't think it's inherently unfair from Google to ask for a share of the money he makes due to their arguably mutually beneficial relationship.

If he'd complained that 30% is too large of a share, I would be fully on his side. This is unreasonable and I've made that point in the past. But the general principle of getting a share is very reasonable and, just because Google could afford to give him money, they have no moral obligations to do so and change the rules for him because they're so "rich".
I don't get this part: "uncomfortable because he did not know who else was nearby listening" as he told the pharmacist his order.

I've never once told a pharmacist my order. I walk up to the drop-off, hand them my prescriptions, and walk away. You don't even have to say "hello" if you don't want to. When it's ready they tell you the total and hand you a bag with your medicine in it.
Thank you! It’s definitely helped. I’m really fortunate I could take any time at all, and doubly fortunate that I had two exciting prospects come along right around the time I was ready to get back to work.

They can decide to force you to sell at a price an app but it is an abuse of power to have a look inside to be the almighty judge. To the point that here they are even leaving the app space to look at the content of the website.

Imagine if you go to IKEA store and they look into your bag to refuse everyone that has an android to accept only iphone users? Just because they can!

Or if walmart will check your sms or your facebook profile when you enter to refuse persons that support Trump. And Costco, the same with persons supporting Biden.
The user already paid for the app download with his/her personal data more than it costs google to provide the download and development.
Agreed.

Would rather say:

A lazy programmer documents their code so they do not have to waste time explaining it in person.

A lazy programmer writes thorough automated tests so they do not have to waste time on repetitive manual testing.

A Neapolitan mastiff I lived with was swimming next to me, he wasn’t super comfortable in water and as we were swimming he bit into my forearm and hit bone.

He didn’t mean it at all. I don’t even think he knew it happened. He was pretty dumb, but that is beside the point.

OP’s advice isn’t actually awful. If I actually had to fight Ben Dog, I would have no option but to go into the mouth. Same for grizzlies. But.... I would not want to do this and am certain I would take a lot of damage.

It might be hard for you to stomach this refutation, because I only refuted one, but try this. Go to the site and try to see if you can find a place where the site says "Elon said use X to buy Y" when in fact the quoted text means "after Y would gain X". This exists, but in finding it for yourself you'll learn more about the validity of your information source than I could ever hope to teach you.

Afterward, think on the emotional connotation of the restatement. Ask yourself questions like why they chose to restate things so as to produce a falsehood. Then ask yourself about Elon's text in that arrangement. There are lessons about good communication within it and it directly corresponds with mathematics.

Why does the information source choose to turn something which has deep mathematical truth justifying it were the claims to be true with something which is obviously non-casual?

It isn't just wrong. It is obviously wrong. Everyone knows cause and effect.

They do it anyway. They get it wrong, despite it being obviously wrong.

Why? The answer of course is because doing so works. They hooked you, didn't they?

Or at least, it seems to work. Truly, it doesn't, and the fact that it doesn't is probably best explained by someone other than me: read Plato. In particular read the dialogue in which the professor of rhetoric and Colt talk with Socartese about what it is that rhetoric is. He wrote about sites like the one you are using thousands of years ago.
I was also really confused by this comment until I re-read it later.

At first I thought OP meant “we wrote out container runtime in Brainfuck,” but what I think they meant was “we first deployed Brainfuck support in order to test our new runtime on something simpler than Python.”

I've yet to see the place that had the level of testing, and infallability of the CI process, to where I wanted to deploy on a Friday. Yeah, it may be a low chance that anything will go wrong, and an equally low chance we'll be unable to easily rollback, but so few things can't wait until Monday that I want to roll those dice.
well yeah breach of contract is breach of contract no matter how draconian the contract is. you agreed to it, because you wanted the google play store eyeballs, then decided it was not enough, and tried to sidestep their share for the eyeball providing services.

and that makes you the greedy one in the relationship.

The big tech companies aren’t opponents of the right wing - they are the right wing - they want low taxes, reduced governmental oversight, and are vast multi billion dollar for-profit corporations.

They do oppose extremist far right content. Not the political movement, but rather the content which they cannot legally host without facing repercussions themselves.

Branching narratives are like Choose Your Own Adventure books. You can get 80% of the way to what Ink does with a carefully programmed static website. But this is an environment designed to author that, and to publish to game engines as well.

The main competition is Twine, which is more focused on a self-contained deployment. Twine also got a huge update recently with its "Harlowe" theme supporting storylets - scenes that trigger from a pool or "deck" based on logic you program.
I can remember way back around 1990 being told that waterfall was mostly a bad idea, and few shops really followed it. Rapid prototyping was agile back then. We were shown how to produce flow charts and static call diagrams in Software Engineering 201 or whatever it was called, and I felt they were doing it to show us how but also to demonstrate how much work it was, and how easy it was to get the analysis wrong.

As new fashions arose, instead of attacking waterfall as practiced (which, don't get me wrong, is still labor intensive), they criticized a straw man version, because it made the new methods look even better.

Oh what a burden it is to host APKs of 10 MB for people to download and use..

Let's stop the pretense that Google and Apple are doing us a big favor with hosting our apks for download. They are not paying for my cloud storage or cloud functions which my users actually use, but me personally. The only role Apple and Google have is to be the troll to take the toll to "allow" me to put a link and download my app from the stores.

I would love to just put the same APK on my website and have people install it directly.

Maybe, but why aren’t more girls interested in computing in the first place? If it was just a workplace issue we’d see a lot more college admissions of women in CS programs, who then would drop out or change career later due to those issues.

I don’t think computing is seen strictly as a gender-restricted job like, say, mining and teaching, I wouldn’t expect much friction in the way of a young girl to be potentially interested in it and begin a career.

It just doesn’t happen that often, however. Does it have to be someone’s fault?
Funny how the exact same arguments get applied to Apple in the exact same markets. Weird how “no one has a choice but to use Google product” and at the same time “no one has a choice but to use Apple products.”
>LIKE compares characters, and can be paired with wildcard operators like %, whereas the = >operator compares strings and numbers for exact matches. The = can take advantage of indexed columns.

Unless this specific to certain databases, LIKE can take advantage of indexes too, without wildcards LIKE should be nearly identical in performance to = both seeking the index.

>Using wildcards for searching can be expensive. Prefer adding wildcards to the end of strings. Prefixing a string with a wildcard can lead to a full table scan.

Which is contradictory to the first quote, it seems you recognize that a wildcard at the end can take advantage of an index. Full table scan is the same thing as not taking advantage of an index, hence LIKE can take advantage of normal indexes so long as there are characters before the first wildcard or has no wildcards.
"no caps" - but watch what happens if you move 200 or 300GB downstream on a LTE based last mile residential connection in a month. you'll either get shut off, throttled to a few Mbps, or billed extra. Look at the fine print in the terms of service. If you have a household with multiple people that watch netflix, download movies, or even want to download a single xbox one or PS4/PS5 game (they can be 120-180GB now), watch out.
As poorly conceived as it sounds. It’s not wrong. It’s the same advice for grizzly bears. You need to straight up break the animals instincts from attack to protect, and a non-armed way to go that is to attack eyes or mouth and eyes are hard to go to. Bears specifically have strong gag reflexes, IDK about dogs.

Another reason is apparently modularity. There’s an increasing demand in wider stovetops with more or larger heaters, induction and so on, and having all controls on the top itself means users can combine all ovens with all stovetops. Additionally, ovens at eye-height are becoming more popular, so in some cases there isn’t even an oven below the cooktop.

You could have physical knobs on the top, but those interfere with the pots and sealing them against spills is hard. The only decent solutions I’ve seen are magnetic knobs and a dedicated knob bar that is installed at the face, with drawers below it, but those are much more expensive to produce.
Android and iPhone definitely cannot each have 99% of the market.

Of course it does. Phone manufacturers exploit child labor in third world countries to make their phones (and that's not okay, for the record). But if I rob their shipments and steal their phones, I'm wronging them anyway. Being a criminal does not exclude you from being a victim.
