Whenever a company of significant size branches into another market where it has some unfair advantage thanks to it's dominance other industry it should come under scrutiny.

The reason products like Alexa and the Fire tablet have been so successful for Amazon is basically because they have been able to promote them for free on the worlds largest marketplace and then sell them at a loss offset by the profits generate from other segments of their business like ecommerce and AWS. I've been so underwhelmed by every Amazon product I've ever brought I'm 100% convinced their success in hardware has been almost entirely due to their cannibalistic business practises than their ability to make solid hardware that people want to buy.

This means in basically any market Amazon enters they don't need to make the best product, they just need to undercut and promote their products enough to kill off the competition. Google and Apple can also run this strategy very effectively with Google Search promoting Google products and Apple's hardware/appstore ecosystem promoting then locking users into their own hardware and software.
No, the copyright doesn't (automatically) go with it, and there's basically zero legal-system recognition of NFTs.
Every major app that iOS missed would be a significant dollar amount of sales that Apple would lose. If Netflix or Spotify or PrimeVideo wasn't available on iOS, not only would that be a marketing disaster, it would yield sales consequences. This ignores the catastrophic regulatory consequences they are already poised to incur.

Apple runs the app store for users (people like me who in aggregate have made it the most valuable company in the world), and it is simply bizarre seeing these claims like it's some enormous expense that they're doing because they're benevolent (which is quite clearly the foundation of your comment, given the claim that Apple could charge "banana" amounts just for being on the app store, contrary to reality where they're already under enormous scrutiny for claiming these fees as a payment processor).

There is an argument that Apple could charge some fee for their expenses of operating the app repository. Those fees, to avoid the regulatory hammer, would be absolutely tiny compared to what they are currently getting from their take.
> For example system with ELF could not run at 4MB of ram without extreme swapping, but a.out (like Slackware 3.9 AFIK) could without much problems.

> I never understood why a.out binaries went out of fashion :(

Storage was expensive. The promise of ELF was shared libraries. The idea was that a lot of libraries are used by a lot of programs so splitting the code between the main program and the shared library is a good thing.

The idea has not lived to its promise. Shared libraries in OSS are tending to became a DLL hell. There are also a lot of libraries with duplicated functionality which makes things even worse.

> Fun fact: older versions of Slackware were using EGCS instead of GCC compilers.

This was a good thing. Just like today with llvm. GCC was resting in its 7 day and nobody bothered to update it for the new stuff. Then EGCS came out and gave GCC a kick in the butt, helping to continue.

I don't think it's complicated. There's some stigma because you can't comfortably talk about it around the dinner table with grandma and the kids. Not because how popular it may or may not be.
Not sure why you're downvoted. QEMU is not on https://isapplesiliconready.com/ either so I'd think it's a valid question?
It's hype/tulip mania mixed with a scam. Even people who are generally skeptical of normal crypto recognize that at the very least it's a good way to buy drugs on the darkweb. NFTs, on the other hand, offer zero utility.
US market should NOT be used as any scientific benchmark for anything - as it does not represent "all" typical possible scenarios for the stock market.

Look for example(one of many) at Japanese NIKKEI index - it was going DOWN for like 20 years! So this theory does not work!

Many people in Europe also quote multiple studies based on US market - but they are usually worthless on other markets(both bonds and stocks).
If you add inflation and CPI - this theory is even more worthless.

US market is special - as US is one of very few superpowers on Earth.

Put your money in real estate.

Our political system is unable/unwilling to address housing needs. Home owners vote for whatever it takes to increase prices. Renters and young people looking to buy their first homes don't have as much political clout. The reality of the situation is sad but the results are clear!
That's on the grandchildren. They need to learn how to reply to Yaya. "kthnx" won't work, but this will: "Hi Yaya, I just listened to your message about my first day back in school. Yes, I'm a little nervous about being around so many people after a year at home, but mostly I'm excited about seeing my friends again and getting to play sports. How are you? I hope your knee isn't acting up and you can get outside today. It looks like the weather is beautiful over there right now."
In this case, the article said her father took the photo, so I don't think there's going to be a dispute over that.

But also, it's not entirely clear to me you "need" to own the copyright to something to sell an NFT based on it. All you "need" is whatever the buyers think you need, and since the whole thing makes no sense to me either, I don't especially expect that to make any sense either.

Note that selling the NFT is not the same as selling a license or a copyright. The article also notes "And as is the case with many NFT sales, the Roths also retain the copyright to the image and will make 10 percent off any future sales of the NFT."
I believe this has already passed into law, but admittedly I cannot find the specific link saying so. Here's the law anyway:

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_20_...

"Platforms that reach more than 10% of the EU's population (45 million users) are considered systemic in nature, and are subject not only to specific obligations to control their own risks, but also to a new oversight structure. This new accountability framework will be comprised of a board of national Digital Services Coordinators, with special powers for the Commission in supervising very large platforms including the ability to sanction them directly."
Agreed. I’ve seen that figure before (or some variation) and it is a bad way to try to argue his statement.
It’s hard to say that this a way for meme stars to cash in when it’s not exactly clear why in the hell someone would pay $500K for the meme. Not “I hate it personally, but I understand someone would like it”, but more “oh, it’s tulips again”.
Slackware is the only Linux distro I have been able to stick to long term. A dual boot between Slackware and Windows 10.. pretty crazy contrast of a colossal OS that's always pestering you for its attention and doing lord knows what under the hood and a very simple one that does absolutely nothing I don't tell it to.. and most importantly never nags me for anything, ever. Package management is a PITA sometimes but I just never got cozy on other distros.
As the codebase gets bigger and more complex, performance on identical hardware will necessarily get worse.

There is only a certain amount of RAM, and when it's all used up by thousands of coders writing new UI toolkits, there isn't enough RAM left and you're forced to have smaller video buffers and lower resolutions to prevent the app running out of RAM.
As far as I know something similar happened with Amazon. They didn't have MAX for a very long time.

>> I find IP based mail server blacklist services such as BRBL as obsolete and possibly harmful. Now that we have domain verification services like DKIM SPF etc. Blacklist the domain. Not the ip

Agree with you 100%. I want to run a mail server on my AWS server and not use Yahoo so that Verizon doesnt snoop on my mail and insert creepy ads that seem like emails. But this is impossible as my mail would get dropped into a blackhole.
Agreed, this isnt a datapoint. And I have an app called Loopback by Rogue Amoeba that does this job very well. There are plenty of reasons that you could assume OSX doesnt include this natively. The biggest I can think of is if you can capture streaming audio at no quality loss then you kinda blow up some business models.

I dont hear any detailed descriptions of how the software quality has declined. What I generally see is bugs being reported which is then called evidence that apple software is bad. I think the UMN story has shown that all OS software is large, complex and bug ridden.

I personally dont love how OSX is becoming more of a walled garden, but I also think that given the fact that bad people exist to make sure we cant have anything nice its a reasonable reaction to try and make the OS more secure. The days of the OS is your playground are ending. I wish that werent true but there are crappy folks out there that want to steal your data, identity, scam you, commit computer crimes against you.

I will reiterate that I think Big Sur was probably the smoothest big release of MacOS Ive been through(since Tiger). Others may have different experiences, but I can only speak to mine.
Tell-tales are all over the place. From explosion in asset prices world wide and cross-industry to micro-signals, such as goods coming in smaller packaging (for the same price) or slightly increasing grocery prices[0].

In my bubble, its mostly tinfoil-hat-wearing crypto-enthusiasts pointing at examples of how toiletpaper comes in smaller packages-for-the-same-price, so my view is skewed.

But its safe to consider all these as datapoints that indicate possible worldwide inflation is building up.

Are you thinking of EC2? SES has never had a problem with this in my experience.

Regarding verification, you can verify any email address where you can receive a link long enough to click on it. Domain validation is only needed if you want to send mail from arbitrary addresses without that step.

Not really. It's not clear to me that any IP in the photo was sold. The OP says "And as is the case with many NFT sales, the Roths also retain the copyright to the image and will make 10 percent off any future sales of the NFT."

If you want to buy the copyright to something (or a license to it), you don't need an NFT. There was already a market price put on IP, you don't need NFTs for that.

I have no idea what NFTs are for.
My guess is:

1) Bonds and bank accounts are paying less than inflation, so to not lose money you need to invest in stock. That doesn't mean inflation is high rather bank accounts stink.

2) People figured out based on recent fed action that the U.S. has a policy of privatizing the gains and socializing the losses. Therefore stocks appear to not be risky, so people bought them up. The only reason you'd put money in a bank account rather than stock is stock can go down, but if you think the government will intervene to prevent stock going down, you might hold a greater amount of assets in stock, bidding up the price.
I'm not OP but compromise is only a choice if both sides see that as being better than the status quo. You are right that Status Quo is the third choice but it seems both sides of lots of issues prefer that than compromise because for a lot of these moral issues "compromise" is a step in a worse direction. I'd guess largely because of "slippery slope" type of fears.

For issues that can't be compromised, federalism is the solution. However this falls apart for issues where there are real (or perceived) externalities. If you are anti-abortion because of your moral framework, its unlikely you see allowing another community to do it as acceptable. The same as if you are worried about climate change, you don't want fracking in places you don't live.

Personally I'm taking some money that could go into the stock market and investing in increasing the energy efficiency of my home to reduce my future costs, buying items I'll need in bulk (things like 200 pairs of socks so I'm set for life) and other things that will improve my QOL without ongoing costs.
I disagree with supported. I think jailbreaking is in good place right now. No company should be force to fix phones that we cause harm to due to breaking into, but companies should also not be allowed to claim that that alone is the reason a product is broken without evidence.

I can’t imagine being forced to support a misuse of a product I develop outside of the scope Of it’s advertised intentions if it directly leads to the products deterioration.
Here in Antwerp (Belgium), with a large port nearby and associated rich history of people loading and unloading all kinds of transport, both "van de camion gevallen" ("fallen off the truck")) and "van de boot gevallen" ("fallen off the boat" (because we often say "boat" when we know very well that large thing we're talking about is actually a ship) have been very common expressions for a long time.

I've never heard someone say "fallen of the train" though.
What's the URL for this particular NFT?
Also: "An army marches on it's stomach".

Or in the case of Napoleon in Russia when they ran out of supplies, it marches on the 200,000 dead corpses of starved and frozen to death soldiers, with some help from countless slaughtered horses killed for food; and boot leather boiled soft enough to chew.

That's what you get when your supply plan buffers 50 days for rapid assault & victory while the enemy retreats, retreats, retreats, scorched-earth all the way. Hell, the Russians torched the entire city of Moscow to deny it to the enemy so it couldn't be used as a stop over on the way to St. Petersburg.

That was pretty much the end of Napoleon's campaign in Russia, and the beginning of his downfall. You don't get 500,000 troops killed in a single campaign and come home to fanfare and accolades.

In fact his failures during that campaign foreshadowed his downfall with a (failed) military coup. This was actually slightly convenient for Napoleon, giving him a reason to get the heck out of Russia before the final end came: extremely fortunate since the very small remaining body of troops retreating back west were not especially happy with their failed commander.
You can purchase a signed link that proves you “own” the link. It confers no other rights or capabilities typically part of ownership.

The standards could be in the SDK and the sandbox. Like you don't allow location data or access to photos to any apo (not even Apple ones). So even if I sideload an app or start a Apple app I should get same prompts("Do you want to let this app ignore your firewall rules? This might be insecure The app dev is "Facebook/Apple/Unkown) .

And if Apple does not like Facebook tracking people maybe they should lobby for anti-tracking laws. They should also not allow lootboxes, gems or other gaming related shit (to be consistent with their puritanical PR spin)

IPs are still a precious commodity, hence the threat of being listed by a high quality blocklist like Spamhaus provides an effective degree of encouragement for senders to clean up their act.

Domain blocklists also exist, but the stick isn’t as sharp, because domains are a dime a dozen.
I've read a variety of theories, none confirmed. The two I've seen repeated the most are 1) they wanted a change to how the built in search functionality worked and 2) they wanted to collect more user data than roku was willing to provide.
OP, thanks for posting this and bringing it onto my radar again. The GBP (with a copy of Pokémon Red) was my first foray into the world of gaming as a wide-eyed 8 year old.

In the past, every time I've tried to put something together game dev wise, the toolchain onramp has scared me away and any project I've tried to work on has inevitably failed. I wonder if things might be a little different in this case just because of the creative constraints. Of course, the cranky engineer side of my brain is saying "just suck it up and learn Unity" because of the ecosystem.

But speaking of creative constraints! I've spent a while looking into an active corner of the Pokémon fandom that is concerned with making custom Pokémon games. It hinges around a pretty complete and powerful toolchain called Pokémon Essentials [1] which uses RPG Maker XP as its base. It seems to have reached critical mass enabling fans to make custom Pokémon games which faithfully reproduce Pokémon's admittedly complicated mechanics without having to reinvent the wheel. Sadly, Nintendo took it down once it reached critical mass for understandable if regrettable reasons.

I keep thinking to myself that something along these lines would be incredible for game dev. RPG Maker in particular seems to be unique in how specialized it is compared to more generic ecosystems such as Unity and UE. Can anyone who has more experience in the industry tell me why that is? Is it just an economics and market reach thing?

This is false.

IRBs are required under federal law, which did result from ethics violations, both by the Nazis, but just as much by US-based experiments, like the Stanford prison study, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, Yale's Milgram experiment, US-based human radiation experiments, and so on. At some point, we decided we should have ethical research. That's designed to solve a broad set of problems.

Most of this isn't about law suits but about federal research funding. There's little private right of action, but if you don't have research reviewed by an IRB, you can't get federal research grants. OMB requires an IRB.

That said, universities are finding loopholes. A major one is for profs to do research on "private" time as "consulting." Lots of unethical research being done and published that way. Professors don't really have a clean split between work/life or work 40-hour weeks, so while perhaps this started out reasonable ("I'm consulting to Google"), right now, it's just a way to bypass IRBs.

As a footnote: What's not widely recognized in the US yet were the close ties between Nazi research and US research, pre-war. A lot of the eugenics stuff was developed by the American scientific establishment.

That in turn means that more people in your neighbourhood (or a shared cable link) can watch video at the same time without lowering quality or buffering.

I use this myself for forwarding emails and signing up for random sites. Pretty easy to set up and 0 overhead to maintain. One of these days I'll set up a ui around it to send emails. Having both set up and maintained an email server "the old fashioned way" and using this, the over head on this is way less than postfix et al. This only goes for receiving email though, sending email with this is a biiit clunky, and doesn't support attachments (yet). If you have an aws account and a spare domain give this project a shot! It has a surprising amount of utility.
