Why would anyone want their screen to be anything other than a featureless rectangle?

There's a huge market for making TVs look like anything other than a slab of glass. Aesthetics count. Is why the 17 inch iMac with the crane neck is still covered.
For me the overall experience just doesn't work as a productivity device. The gestures to multitask are too complex. Every edge and corner has a different meaning, and swiping does several different things depending on direction.

It's not natural to have your monitor and keyboard super close together, and to have your monitor sitting directly on a desk.

It's not comfortable to poke a semi-vertical touchscreen over a long period of time where you have to support your whole arm while also making precise movements with your fingers.

Fingers are not precise enough to interact with basic elements like text fields and buttons.

I'm sitting here at my desk with its large monitor on an arm, mechanical keyboard and precision mouse and appreciating the years of thought that went into making this setup work. I think there is a possibility of something better with an iPad like device, but Apple would need to be far more ambitious than they've been so far.
There's a lot of weird assumptions in this thread that this is some sort of strike against Amazon/AWS. It's not. AWS's managed grafana is built in partnership with grafana labs, and this license change won't affect it.

From Grafana:

"AWS is a strategic partner, and given the commercial relationship AWS has with us for AMG, AWS and their AMG customers are not impacted by this change. We hope that other XaaS providers follow AWS’s lead in working with open source software companies in similarly sustainable ways."

I wonder how long will it take for Amazon to announce their an open source fork.
I don't think a machine's fitness for development is correlated to how locked down it is—you can totally have a very controlled environment with gatekeeping like the current iPadOS but have well-designed tools and development environments built for it. Apple did it with macOS after all...

This sounds insanely complicated for data that could just be stored in a SQLite database...
The announcement seems to say that products that include an unmodified version grafana can still be proprietary, and only modifications to grafana itself will have to be published.

However, the AGPL itself is quite clear that if you distribute a larger work based on an AGPL software, the whole larger work has to be distributed under the same license.

Would you still be confident shipping a proprietary product that includes a grafana dashboard ?
The current remote buries itself in the couch at the first available opportunity.
They might transition to democracy through state failure, or they might not. My country, Czechoslovakia, did transition without it.

It's worth reminding that despite the sorry state of USSR economy when communism ended, it still contracted by almost 1/3 during the 90s neoliberal era. And Putin improved on that, despite being authoritarian ruler. So the failure of the state is not at all given.
I see all the negative comments but I'm asking this with genuine curiosity. Do high school students not really work any more? Maybe they legally can't at a Beer Garden, even if it's washing dishes?

When I was in high school I worked as a busser/dishwasher for a diner. I'm assuming you're in a high CoL state but what you are offering is above what I was paid after adjusting for inflation.

People also try to ignore that Spotify did exactly what everybody thought they would do - started watering down the guests and removing so-called controversial episodes.

A big part of the Rogan show charm was the fringe guests, and his audience doesnt care the least for the kind of corporate virtue signalling Spotify is eminating.

In effect, it went from offering somewhat novel things to being plain boring - like everything else you’d expect from a Spotify podcast. I dont find Rogan particularly charismatic as a host either so why listen anymore?
This isn't like 'wandering through a book store' at all. This is a bunch of best of lists written by authors. It's not even close to being comparable to wandering through a book store...this isn't even a new way to discover books. It's just a bunch of recommendations on books on various topics by authors.

Why would you make the description so disingenuous?

Just call it what it is, a curated collection of best of lists...

Then again, I guess that's not really something you can make a Show: HN about.
The network effect is what makes it desirable. Anyone can push bits these days. Web technology is completely commoditized. But a strong brand and a great product team is priceless (or at least worth more than $10bn).
If it's exactly the same board and layout, an ultra slim laptop motherboard will be designed for different thermal limits than a desktop board. Also a laptop board will have its shape and orientation optimized for a very thin heatpipe + flat blower cooling system, something in a desktop might be different. Take for instance the same CPU used in a gaming laptop or in an Intel NUC/tiny box shaped PC, the heatsink/fan arrangement will be unique between the two. But then again this new imac is so thin it might as well be a laptop.
I doubt they would intentionally limit the internal resolution in order to obtain a high maximum external resolution.
What model? I have an Apple TV (not a 4k version, couple years old) and YouTube works just fine for me. I have the latest updates.
I would buy one in a heartbeat if it was supported officially. My dream device is an iPad that turns into a regular macOS device when connected to a keyboard+mouse+monitor.
They use(d) Elixir (based on Erlang VM) [1]. WhatsApp apparently considered Erlang to be one of the reasons why they could serve such a massive userbase with a tiny team [2], which I guess is a tech advantage.

In any case, I enjoyed reading Discord's tech blogs on Elixir.

[1] https://blog.discord.com/tagged/erlang

EDIT: added reference and clarified that I don't know if they still use Elixir.
Statutory minimums would be possible.

That being said, we’d need to also make it illegal (with a bigger fine) to not inform customers of the breach, and to provide reduced damages for companies that promptly inform users. Otherwise the “correct” approach for a company would be to ignore every hacking attempt and never investigate.
If you don’t see it side-by-side, you don’t really notice it, but Windows 10 is slower at everyday tasks compared to even older Intel Macbooks. Possibly related to the antivirus implementation?

Its kind of like Light Mayo vs regular Mayo, you don’t notice the difference in isolation, but things get awkward side-by-side.

My M1 Mini is much faster than my 2017 i7 PC with 32gb ram and fast m.2 SSD

Edit: to be clear, my main way of testing was trying to launch the same apps side-by-side, and load the same websites side-by-side. 2014 Macbook Pro beat the much newer Windows 10 device every time. The Windows device doesn’t melt down with Minecraft, but that doesn’t change the fact that latency for basic tasks (e.g. opening the browser) is worse for Windows, for inexplicable reasons.
It doesn't say, but I have to assume that it detects it's moving, but moving together with an unrecognized cell phone or something -- e.g. picking up a single unchanging WiFi signal while most other signals come and go.

Of course, if the person being stalked wasn't carrying a cell phone, then this raises the possibility the anti-stalking wouldn't be activated.
The whole point of everyone's objections is that it also can be spotted by the wider network of all the other iPhones in the world, including whoever steals it (or is being stalked using it).
Apple Watch has had this "make-my-phone-beep" feature from day one and it's been excellent.
It only triggers if it’s not with the owner but is with someone else. I wonder what happens if you put your luggage on a train and sit down elsewhere on the train. Would it recognize that it is still, generally speaking, with the owner?
Pretty sure Substack uses node in their backend, at least based on the information from their jobs page[0].

> The key is assimilation.

Agreed, but it goes both ways. "We welcome your money, but please keep your opinions to yourself", isn't a great way to assimilate new migrants. Also, see top comment by Mark Watson.

It would make sense to do the anti stalking notification after say 4 days. This would make stalking labor intensive since the stalker has to swap tags frequently. So if you leave one in someone's car or drop it in a bag, you'd have to steal it back and replace it. Also if the stalker is unable to track it down, the victim gets notified automatically which makes stalking with these much more dangerous for the stalker.

For a stolen item you'd have that much time to track it down.

They could even track if different non-owned tags track the same person to stop stalkers diligent enough to swap these frequently.

It's an impressively good balancing of usefulness and avoiding bad spillover effects.
They probably caught enough flak with how incredibly unserviceable AirPods were and decided not to repeat the same mistake, especially here where it wouldn't give any benefit at all. Kind of a no-brainer, but you never know with Apple...
Ah, yes, thanks. Though it's still the same EN_CHANGE event.
It's still unclear to me if this also means things like custom dashboards, etc?
In the last ~6 months, Imgur added forced video ads when uploading new images: https://www.resetera.com/threads/hmm-so-we-now-have-to-watch... https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/k5lwus/imgur...

Hilariously, I found this article from about a year before they added those ads: https://digiday.com/marketing/imgur-diversifying-beyond-ad-r...

This is what flailing around trying to find a business model looks like. If Imgur was profitable without those ads, they wouldn't be abusing their users like this.
in lost mode the tracking frequency goes to real time.
Agreed. It reminds me more of the Surface Studio 2 than of previous iMac designs
Better than ads and tracking
Which is crazy from the simple standpoint. All businesses other than health care coverage providers would benefit from never needing to worry about this HR burden again.

Probably those small companies lobby / donate to both parties to prevent a single payer system where normal workers and normal employees don't have to care.
But the main problem with Teams is its low-performance GUI (Electron-based). And from what I hear about Discord, it's the same there.

There's other minor problems like insane chat latency, but I can work with that. Voice and Video generally works fine.
I don’t have a Github account, so I won’t, sorry.

However, once covid ends I would consider buying one of these for my laptop bag.
In the beginning, the Bluetooth versions of the controllers weren't sold with the console, and they were specialty, mostly for PC gamers. There's still a fair number of controllers out there that can only connect via Xbox Wireless.

If the new Apple TV can actually pair with those, that's a big deal.
> This is a great feature and kudos to Apple for bringing it to the previous generation of Apple TV.

I can’t see that mentioned anywhere.

Got any details on that?

Do you need some app or update?
This is feeling more and more like a malicious hack.
That is strange. I don’t remember FaceID failing for me without a mask on. Do you have any ideas on why it doesn’t work for you? FaceID is frictionless now. At first I missed not having to look at the phone to unlock it, but when compared to using our iPad with touchID it’s much easier.
Random unverified search: 1ppm is 7.8x10^9. Just say 300ppm is reasonable. Currently 417ppm.

7.8x10^11 tonnes of Carbon to remove from the atmosphere to return to “normal” (Handwavy approximations)

This was 4.16x10^2, in, let’s just say 12 months.

Assuming an absurd 100% increase in volume year over year... they’ll drop the carbon ppm by 1 after... 24 years.

Not meant to doom/gloom, just curious.
Me too mostly but it's annoying that it's in a weird place not directly accessible from the remote widget in control center.
If you have an iPhone I absolutely love the Apple TV remote app. Feels like the remote design was made for the phone. I wish other apps or console also let you use your phone to type or control
The Roku remotes really are fantastic - especially the built-in headphone jack. My only complaint is that they really eat batteries, especially when using that headphone jack, but at least they're still sticking with standard AAs that I can just keep in a charger nearby instead of having to dock the thing or plug it in.
There are people (not so much on HN, but definitely other places on the net) openly advocating for forced vaccinations and/or completely shunning the unvaccinated from society (to include employment).

Oh, I'm with you on this, but I think it's only a matter of time before things get very uncomfortable.
Is there some exception for plugins? I can see a weird situation where a plugin for technology 'X' doesn't allow AGPL, but Grafana requires it.
The community is impacted because there isn't an intellectual commons to build from.

The OSI or FSF-approved licenses form an ecosystem. I can have a project which mixes AGPL, GPL, and BSD code. I can make that part of the next version of Ubuntu. I can borrow bits of code. It all works together. If the goal is to have a computer running free software, AGPL builds towards that goal. If the goal is to use the code in new and unexpected ways, AGPL builds there.

The non-OSI licenses are walled gardens. Even the ones which nominally allow remixing require me to drop a few grand on a lawyer before remixing them (more grand if it's international).

AGPL is toxic to some corporations for mixing into their proprietary projects, but the commercial dual-license takes care of that. Most corporations don't mind spending money.

AGPL also gives a long-term sustainable pathway if the original vendor goes under or goes evil.
If you're talking about an iPhone, it works exactly this way. You can use "Find My..." to play a lost sound on the missing device.

If you read the press release, Apple VERY heavily emphasizes "creative workflows"
With a smart TV I actually don't see any reason to use Apple or Google's solutions. I stopped using my Nvidia Shield when I realized that the experience from my LG C9 was as good or better. Even has support for AirPlay.

Of course in some years it's likely to stop receiving updates and fall behind, but I can wait until that happens to look into an external box again.
Well, if you're facing a targeted attack like that, there is little you can do anyway. They will survey the hardware/software you use and find/purchase a vulnerability to exploit. Its always wise to treat any software (new or old) with caution.
Apple TV 3rd Gen.
You cannot make changes while cutting off your own hands. The fact that Google made the step to try to change their AI practices by hiring her in the first place was a huge risk to them. Then all they ask was not to ruin the business and she went all nuclear option and ran to the press about it.

As I see it at this point, her inability to navigate the politics of the situation showed she was incapable of doing the job anyway. She should have been highlighting her presence and recruiting people that believed in the cause. Instead she upended the table and left the second there was some friction between her and business interests.
> I remember when the AGPL was being talked about in around 2008 or so, and thinking it was ludicrous. Now I wonder if it's too lenient.

It'd be really hard to come up with a license less lenient than AGPL without it being non-FOSS, which would defeat the purpose.

> Maybe what we need is a 'no AWS' license, think Apache License but with a clause that says no corporation with more than $50B in revenue can resell it.

This would be a blatant violation of freedom 0.
> A lot of the flavor of the week licenses exist for this reason, as well as to address some of the weak corner cases of the AGPL.

I'm interested in what the 'weak corner cases' of AGPL are considering it was pretty much made to correct some weaknesses in the GPL.
I read programming books side-by-side with Blink ssh'd into a remote server. I find the experience pleasant. For other reading, it depends. I do a lot of gaming and so I have a lot of PDFs, two-page view or split view of different materials is very nice since I can read them without needing to zoom in. OTOH, if I'm just trying to read fiction or something then a smaller tablet (Kindle Fire, in my case, that I bought to replace a defunct iPad a few years ago since I just wanted a reading device) works better for me. I knew it was a stretch, but I was really hoping for an upgraded iPad Mini.
Its private from 3rd parties, but not private from apple and whoever subpoenas them.

Apply this principle to everything apple does and says about privacy and you see it everywhere in their products.

Even more cynically, you can say it's private from their competitors.
Thanks I’m thinking about it. But is it good for ios development? It’s the only thing holding me back right now. Currently on 2012 16 inch MBP.

That kind of reasoning got us into the whole pad-left misery.
We use it a 1st-gen 12.9" iPad Pro for our piano (and other stuff). If you've got a digital piano you can even plug it in and get MIDI input, which enables some really cool stuff (especially for writing music, I'd expect). It's great, and the 12.9" size is really good for that. I'd expect any newer model to be the same thing, but a little nicer.
While there are significant ideological disagreements between the OSI and FSF, when it comes to FOSS licenses their definitions are mostly equivalent. There are very few licenses that are recognized by the OSI but not by the FSF, and vice-versa.
Only time I used it was when my phone fell out of my pocket in a friend's car when he dropped me at home. Find my phone clearly showed where it was, traveling through the city and amazingly I could still use WhatsApp desktop to message my friend to bring it back. Tech is awesome sometimes.
I'm self employed (engineer, not comp-sci or coder bro) and as my company's revenue grows I am more and more tempted to "treat myself" and integrate more Apple products (I have an original SE phone) for the ease of use and having "corporate" Unix products in the arsenal.

I see new products like these and instantly get excited. It looks so cool! It's thin, the screen is nice, looks like a great product! Maybe I'll quit RHEL on desktop and move on with my life!

Then I see the price, the specs, and the 2 USB type A products clicked into my Thinkpad while I'm out of town helping an older relative. I had a Macintosh a long time ago when in college. Now, I think I'm too far down the RHEL / Thinkpad corporate hole to ever go back, and System76 has ruined my expectations for power on a desktop level (I have a Thelio). Hell, my Thinkpad is 7 years old and the only hiccup is its low screen res.

As pretty as the UI is, I'm not sure I could get used to it from years on stock GNOME and a stint on XFCE.

I might as well start buying New Balance or Nike Monarch's while I'm at it.
Word. You wonder how many of those 50,000 stars are just because they sell it so well. Brilliantly done and sexy as all get out. Bonus points for zooming in so the, ah, temporally disadvantaged among us can view parts of it easily too. The clear Try it and Docs buttons, then a big illustration and bullet list next to it, a brief getting started section, and examples... and testimonials! For a free product! That brings things to a whole new level.

There is a design consideration of not having yet another cable going up to the desk.
Hi PeterisP, just to avoid any confusion:

The sentence you quote is actually meant to -technically- establish a basis for what it means for somebody to run/offer TimescaleDB as part of a value added service (very much allowed) versus a company like AWS offering TimescaleDB purely as a DBaaS offering (not allowed).

There are many, many thousands of companies that use or embed TimescaleDB as part of their service or product offerings, serving huge numbers of customers. We're extremely supportive of their ability to do so. We have no "enterprise features" that are excluded or held back only to paid users.

What we aren't supportive of is AWS running "TimescaleDB-as-a-Service" as part of AWS RDS. Because we know they do that!

The clause you are quoting helps define some of the legal nuances how we get there, ideally in ways that an engineer would understand. In particular, what it means to be a value added service/product versus just "TimescaleDB-as-a-Service".

The alternative legal formulations of this can be found in, e.g.

- Confluent Community License ("Licensee is not granted the right to, and Licensee shall not, exercise the License for an Excluded Purpose. For purposes of this Agreement, “Excluded Purpose” means making available any software-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service, infrastructure-as-a-service or other similar online service that competes with Confluent products or services that provide the Software.")

- Polyform "Shield" License ("Any purpose is a permitted purpose, except for providing any product that competes with the software or any product the licensor or any of its affiliates provides using the software.") https://polyformproject.org/licenses/shield/1.0.0/

These are all getting to similar places, but just putting more emphasis of the legal definition of "competition", which we thought would frustrate engineers with its vagueness.
>many large enterprises already had Office 365 licenses

Hit the nail on the head.
