It is important to distinguish between malls and other types of property. Malls were built around cornerstone tenants, and the idea was agglomeration: one big tenant, lots of small single units, everyone wins. The death of malls is due to (often, but not always) location and amenities but, primarily, because the cornerstone tenants just sell things that no-one wants and they have way too much space.

Transportation is essential (and underrated). I am in the UK, we have a huge share of online retail but some large physical retailers are totally fine (Next is a well-known one)...if they pivoted their stores ten years ago to locations with strong traffic links. Local councils during the pandemic shut down parking, that basically finished small-time retail (not an exaggeration, most of these changes have been made permanent, single-unit operators won't ever be able to reopen because councils have shut down parking everywhere). And adding multi-use units (food, film, gyms, etc.) is also another strong play. But it is only easy to do this if your model doesn't revolve around a cornerstone tenant, and you have flexibility in your space. The locations doing well here have been able to flexibly add amenities (post-2008, these places were dead but slowly added restaurants as the economy recovered) and are composed of medium-sized units with no one cornerstone tenant.

The issue is largely structural. Most malls can't improve. They can't suddenly change the economics of having too much space. They can't change the price gap between warehouses and retail (or the debt backing these prices). The only solution is going to be BK and conversion into other forms of commercial property (largely warehouses but some offices/mixed-use). It will be other areas that thrive, not old areas being revived (look at what happened to inner cities when chain department stores took off and people moved to the suburbs...a lot of these places just died because the issue was structural).

> Ex: would you download an app for an airport, or would you rather just scan a qr, load a page, get a notification when it's tine to board, and don't have have an app on your phone again? Same with museums, festivals, concerts, etc.

This is the status quo. And it works well enough for the niche usecases where push notifications may be justified. I myself have Delta and United apps installed, and have for years now. And even they don’t rely on push notifications for the important messages, they send them by SMS.

As for museums, festivals, concerts - what’s push really for? “You just looked at painting 1002, want to learn more?” If I did, I’d look them up.

And no, there is no balance when it comes to push notifications on the web. For every gmail, there’s hundreds of thousands of Reddits, who bug you for notifications the moment you land on their page. And even gmail is better as an app.
> Anyone can take an existing Apache 2.0 project and change the license to AGPL 3.0.

No, you cannot. The very page you've linked to makes this clear:

> Apache 2 software can therefore be included in GPLv3 projects, because the GPLv3 license accepts our software into GPLv3 works

This is precisely what I've written. You can also apply the AGPLv3, you cannot remove the Apache 2.0. The contributions made under Apache 2.0, are still under Apache 2.0. The Apache 2.0 allows sub-licensing, so any contributor who uses those contributions from now is accepting them under the AGPLv3 and Apache 2.0. The former does not supplant the latter.

Sorry you're right the default stacks do set DF on v4, my bad. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to get the PMTUD message so they know to change MSS as when fragmentation is enabled v4 won't send PMTUD ICMP back (and PMTUD working out of the box most of the time is preferred to fragmentation all the time). Had that backwards in my head.

Yeah no stacks do it that I know of, just a theoretical way one could without having to rely on in-path devices sending messages or dropping traffic. I think the v6 path of drop it and send it back was better though. If it's blocked that's their fault :p.

Regarding sending the "message too long" note via in band channel instead of its own ICMP message I actually think that's a great angle as it'll get through more FWs I'm just hung up on trying to do something the truncated payload once it arrives... but I guess that doesn't really matter from a protocol perspective - the important bit is the note on the MTU issue arrive in band and the OS can decide what to do with any remaining payload for inner protocols after that as it's not IP's problem. v6 already got rid of the IP checksum so the only other things that might need to be updated are NICs/FWs/NAT boxes that check TCP/UDP/protocol checksums to ignore them if the header had that note.

It's well known that foreign intelligence services are active on social media trying to foment divisiveness. They're not even necessarily pushing a specific political goal, just getting Americans to hate each other.

I don't know if you include HN as under the umbrella of "social media" or not, but I just thought I'd point this out. I see lots of people "culture warring" about Facebook and "Big Tech"... on HN.

That is an option I kind of outlined as leasing/subscribing to the battery back are the easiest mechanisms to do this.

If the car owner only charged via swapping you could do a system where the cost of the pack was part of the electricity cost (eg: like a propane/co2 tank swap). The downside to this specific one is that you would have to either prevent charging or charge a fee if they did not swap in a specific time period as the battery is a significant capital expense.

Swapping is getting more unlikely as car makers are switching over to structural battery packs which makes swapping the pack non-trivial.
I've been to many malls in south east Asia and found them much nicer. Lots of good food usually and better integrated into the city. Often adjacent to residential areas.

It seems so obvious to me that Apple's chief strategic strength here is that they can essentially force adoption that it's very strange to me that your comment is the only one I've seen on this whole post mentioning it.

One of the ways we already know that beefy ARM processors can work well (and with better power efficiency than Intel CPUs) for heavier workloads/at higher scale than mobile or embedded devices is that it's already being done in the server space. Is scaling ARM processors up for the desktop radically different? (If so, I'd love to learn a bit about how )

The problem that remains for anyone who wants to sell PCs with something other than x86 is that desktop users want their apps, and for Windows users those apps are distributed as x86 binaries, and users aren't in control of that (especially for unmaintained or legacy software). Software publishers won't build or optimize for a new architecture if they suspect it's just going to be a flash in the pan, and this creates a chicken-and-egg problem.

But Apple can just declare that their new architecture is the only option for you if you're buying a new Mac, and a ton of their users will come with them no matter what. App publishers will just deal with it, knowing that they have to play along if they want their application to have a first-class experience on Mac. This is a huge deal, and not a position any particular PC manufacturer could hope to be in!

I'm sure Apple has done lots of technically impressive stuff that I'm not even competent to really appreciate in order to make this architecture change happen. But other vendors are more capable of technically impressive stuff than they are of forcing adoption for enough users to reach critical mass to get people who sell/distribute proprietary software to come along with them.

Because "re-licensing" isn't a thing. If you (or anyone else) can point me to a single piece of legislation in any jurisdiction that has a concept of "re-licensing" I'll be very surprised.

In fact, I'd be quite surprised to see any ruling from a country that practices common law mention "re-licensing".

It's simply not a thing. These licenses are agreements you accept in order to be granted rights that you would otherwise not have, due to intellectual property law.

If the license doesn't explicitly grant you the ability to "re-license" (and explain what the heck that actually is), then you can't do it.

The Apache 2.0 does grant you some rights regarding licensing, but re-licensing isn't mentioned, because no such concept exists.
> a bot that just estimates oil futures based on satellite imagery

Are there any resources containing lists of software projects or companies that do work like this? This and using satellite imagery to identify car models so you can estimate the average income of an area from its parking lots seem so fascinating to me. I imagine there's probably millions of unrelated, free data sources out there that could be linked together into something useful for market trading.
Immunity lasts a long time in the vast, vast majority of people. People that survived SARS-CoV-1 still have strong immune response almost two decades later. You are improperly conflating lack of antibodies with lack of immunity, they are not the same thing. Antibodies are the product of active infection, not having immunity.

It is unhelpful and disingenuous to suggest that lack of antibodies imply lack of immunity or that rare edge cases are the norm. In disease, there are always edge cases.

Off-topic, but responding regarding US schools: as a licensed physics teacher I generally agree; schools are holding pens, with an upside of strengthening peer-bonds through suffering together. The experience that best lined up with helping students find joy in learning (so they might continue on their own, at the library, etc) was teaching at an alternative public school. The small team of teachers was able to get to know all the students (in a community-size below Dumbar’s number) enough to genuinely care and get closer to meeting individual needs, as if everyone were on an IEP (individualized education plan). I don’t know what changes to prioritize except early-childhood education to minimize trauma and educate our first teachers (parents). It’s a big, complex system with inertia.
There's a solid difference between a laissez-faire "whatever let's just kill it" attitude you might have with a mosquito, and the morality of, for example, assisted suicide in the cases you just described.

I get what you're getting at but I don't think your example serves to make your point. Keeping people alive against their wishes can be really fucking barbaric, especially in cases of irreparably debilitating brain injuries.

> We are talking the app store here, right? How does Apple set the prices of the apps?

Yes we're talking about the app STORE not the apps. Apple exclusively sets the price for the store the apps are sold on (and any services the apps sell): 30% (+- first $1M).

> The devs release their apps at the price they want.

We're talking about what Apple charges developers, not what developers charge customers.
100% agree. It drives me bonkers that even now with towns and cities expanding and new town centres forming, there's still a strict separation between residential and commercial use. Why not allow spaces for light commercial use in apartment buildings?
Again, I'm not talking about transit oriented. Most Europeans live in suburbs with poor transit and drive.

The difference is European suburbs tend to be much more densely populated so commutes are less in distance.

Instead of 2400sq ft houses, you're probably looking at 1500sqft with some garden space but far less than a US one. Tbh they are totally fine for raising a family.

You can assign a new value to math.pi in python. You can assign new values to those 'constants' defined in config files.

If a value must not change for the lifetime of a program, you are unable to enforce that constraint, leading to bugs.

No. Dust Identiy is basically just making "glitter seals" which have been around for forever (casual search: with a shoutout from HN's own @rdl: https://lifehacker.com/use-glitter-nail-polish-to-make-your-...) - while I haven't looked at their patent I wouldn't invest personally given a ton of prior art.

PUF's are a completely different mechanism and have also been around for since at least 2001. The most basic version is: every chip has slightly different performance when benchmarked at a fine enough level - your access times for RAM will vary by picoseconds from one chip to the next - you can use those delta's to fingerprint chips and use those fingerprints to seed keys. What follows is 20 years of research improving the technology readyness level of that idea so chips can sign things reliably regardless if they're operating at 60ºC or 10ºC - on power cycle 1 or power cycle 20,000 but uniquely enough so one can't emulate them through trial and error.

> If there is a 'marginal risk' of 4 in 1 million of 'blood clotting' and it's entirely treatable

I completely agree with what you are saying, but wanted to point out that the risk of a cerebral venous sinus thrombosis blood clot risk is something like 4 in 1 million, but there are other kinds of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, etc).

During J&J FDA trials of 20k people there were 50% more blood clots of other various types in the vaccinated group [0] (15 blood clots in vaccinated group versus 10 in the placebo group, which the FDA did not consider statistically significant at the time).

It might not be fair to compare J&J cerebral venous sinus thrombosis blood clots only to blood clots of any type from birth control pills.

Disclaimer: I work for Backblaze so I'm biased and you should keep me honest. :-)

> Backblaze as I mentioned in another comment will be a bad idea due to the poor S3 compatible interface

Backblaze released an S3 compatible API recently: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/s3_compatible_api.html

We're ALWAYS curious about any issue customers see, so if there is something specifically missing you use, we both want to hear about it, and we might be able to add it. Even if it doesn't help you right away, maybe it will help somebody else a few months down the road who might need the same feature.

We know we're compatible with Veeam backups (which only go through S3 APIs) for instance, and we continue to maintain that. We added the "S3 Object Lock" specifically for this particular vendor. So if you are missing one or two APIs, let us know!

Here's another dangerous idea: the justice system has false positive rates.

A judgement is a test with two possible results: innocent or guilty. Every test has false positives and false negativies. For every judge, there is a chance they'll condemn the innocent or absolve the guilty. How likely is it? We'll never know.
Which computer are you referring to?
Been there, done that, at all levels. I would much rather be working on a 10PB set of hardware racks, including all the drive replacements. When you factor in the costs of compute hardware (to make that useful), networking equipment, etc, it's trebled again the cost, and then again for the power, cooling, and cage space to run it all. The actual break-even point of running your own hardware is more like 2 years.

But it's not about price: It's about control, and it's about the expertise you gain from running all of that. If you have 10PB of data, you should have someone in-house who knows how to work with 10PB of data at a low level, and the best way to get that is to employ people at all levels to make that work. You gain significant advantage from having the direct performance data and the expertise of having techs whose 9-5 is replacing disks.

I hope that driver assist tech does not get hampered by American litigiousness because some a percent of people are going to going to misuse it.

If you are a thoughtful driver to start with, these technologies provide an extra layer of protection and reduction to driver fatigue. If you are an idiot, you will continue to be an idiot. No software is going to fix idiots. If you drive with your hands on the wheel.. as the instructions say, the screen tells you every single time, and the sensors attempt to confirm and remind you every 30-60 seconds.. it's another layer of safety beyond your own eyes&brain.

Some people were buying or fabricating devices to provide sufficient torque to trick the sensor to believe hands were on wheel. These are the same galaxy brains which will buy a defeat device for the next safety check that is introduced - weights to trick seat sensors, googly eyed sunglasses to trick cameras, fake heat & capacitive touch to trick the wheel to believe a human hand is there, etc.
