> There is no “Apple market” and “Google market”, there is just one market for apps. The respective app stores are direct sales channels. This direct sales exclusivity (ie. no resellers) exists in many other industries.

I don’t think this holds.

I shop at multiple grocery stores, but only one mobile app store. Apple has a monopoly on sales of apps to iPhone users.

If I sell fruit I can distribute it through multiple channels. If business though one channel sours I can take my business elsewhere.

If I’m an iOS app maker with a popular app I can only distribute it on Apple’s store. If I can no longer distribute my app through Apple’s store then I’m screwed. Apple has a monopoly on the distribution of iOS apps.
> I complain here and everywhere about the insane complexity in modern-day web app dev.

As a frontend dev, I don't think complexity is the issue. I _love_ the new tools at my disposal and am grateful that time has done away with many issues we used to have, such as poor cross-browser compatibility.

Rather, I think the main problem has to do with layers. The bottom layers - the hardware, the kernel - they just work. It's the topmost layers that are the problem - there's a constant battle with dependencies, configurations and tools.

I'm sure that a lot of this frustration would go away if people weren't forced to do yak-shaving every time they wanted to develop an app.

There are many different manufactures and models. Mine are constructed in Austria. Here are some examples:
https://www.redwell.com/en/products/
https://www.sundirect-heater.com/frameless-infrared-panel-he...
https://www.heat4all.com/en/products

The cool thing is you can make it part of the interior. I have 3 panels hanging from the ceiling, 1 painting and one mirror. They can be integrated into hanging or floating ceilings and usually have standard dimensions. You have to be aware, that most panels do not have thermostat. They have only one operating mode - On. In order to regulate them, you have to put a thermostat on the electrical line before it(essentially a smart switch). There are thermostats for wall integration. I use those, the cables are hidden in the wall and the actual thermostat is mobile so it can measure temperature at any location in the room. There are also thermostats which are plugged directly on electrical sockets for more integration out of the box. The price is comparable to any other heating solution and the consumption is a little less than air conditioner. Mine came with 5 year warranty. I just hope that they last longer, but with the exception of the painting, all the rest are easily replaceable.
You think repairing literally millions of abandoned leaking natural gas wells is easier?
I've been thinking about how to monetize the game I'm building and AdMob seemed like the obvious candidate. I checked a bunch of sources including Youtube videos, blog articles and reddit posts, and stumbled across a whole bunch of apps that got their ad serving limited because of "suspected click fraud". Most of those apps have in common that they are relatively new and had massive download spikes thanks to ad campaigns.

Obviously that was a massive red flag for me, but the search for alternatives gave me a good impression on how massive Google actually is. Many developers don't even seem to consider any alternatives for AdMob/AdSense.

So far the best alternative I was able to find seems to be MoPub and to use their mediation capabilities. I really don't want to go all in on Google, but especially when working on mobile, it often seems like there are not too many choices.

Can somebody explain why scalpers are a thing here? Why aren't the original vendors just raising prices to what the scalpers are charging, i.e. the market clearing price? If it's what's going to happen regardless then better that they get the money than some crummy middle man.
Exactly! And in a year or two when they'll just quietly bring them back should they realize it hasn't had the impact they wanted.
I do think the problem is there is no differentiation between organic animal husbandry which has proven benefits (the pastures capture carbon dioxide etc) and the intensive factory farms. I have been reasonably selective of my meat sources over the past decade buying from a local butcher who sources from local organic farms and i am a happy customer and not ashamed.

Or if people drive 33% less.

Or heated their home 50% less.

But why not stop the accidental leaks while eating less meat while driving less while using energy efficient houses?

It’s a lot easier to blame an industry you can’t control than make a few decisions at home.

Tell your politicians to hold the mega corps accountable while proving you care by avoiding beef and driving less and turning the AC on less.
This is not about blame, it's about protecting people.

There will always be Jon's and worse than Jon's out there in the world. They are to blame indeed. But what are you going to do about it? How are you going to protect yourself and others?

Taking measures for protection does not mean you are to blame.
If they showed the perfect ad, advertisers would be willing to spend much per view.

1080TI was one of nvidia's "mistakes" as it was ahead of its time in performance and VRAM size and was one of the reasons people owning it could afford to skip the overpriced RTX20X0 series and even the RTX30X0 series. That's why they held up in value so well, even before the pandemic shortages.

I've felt for a while now that the way the tech world talks about "the $foo community" is just fundamentally wrong. You can only have real communities as long as the number of people is small enough. Once you cross Dunbar's number, it's no longer really a community but rather a cluster of partially overlapping communities. Maybe the more accurate term would be "society" instead of "community".

If you have used this nightmare, or have tried to solve a property dispute about party-walls/land-boundaries, you know how insufficient the system is.
Yes, problem. Because the end it sheds more particulate matter when it is used. So the savings might not be as high as imagined.
Yes, it is. I went to interview at Google (a few years back now). Frankly, I was disturbed at the cult-like behaviour and attitudes of the majority of the employees I interacted with. For most of them, it was clearly their first job out of college, and they had no prior experience of working for a large corporate, or any objective perspective about what they were doing, or why. One hopes they will gain a little more maturity along the way, since such people are going to be exploited by their corporate masters without them even realising it.
It seems the data doesn’t back up this assertion (based on studies linked elsewhere in this post).

PS. What-about-ism is not a sound argument.
Autopilot isn’t a very good name for a fancy driver assist system.

Most regular folk associate the term autopilot with “the plane flies itself, the pilot is just there to guide it on landing”. We’ve had decades of this use of the term and got used to the idea that “autopilot” means the vehicle is self guided and the operator can take a nap, have a meal, etc.
maybe they're just arching the walls more than you would normally dare to do with adobe.

I suspect that's a pure compression structure. It's a dome with an oculus, like the Pantheon. It probably took finite element analysis to design an asymmetrical dome. The asymmetry is just showing off.
Strongly disagree.

The point is that nobody relevant is going to get stopped by this DRM. That's because nobody relevant is likely to even try copying it in the first place, and if an economically relevant party were so unwise, I expect google's legal resources are sufficient to discourage plain copying, even if a court case is never won. They might learn some tricks sure, but the chances of gmail's client side bits doing anything that novel that's also competetively important are slim to none. (And if there really is some kind of secret sauce that needs protecting, relying on DRM seems quite... optimistic. Finally, we're only talking front-end here, not backend; and surely that's at least as important a part of the value proposition here.

While there may be a case for DRM in some places, gmail is almost certainly not it.

You can implement whatever you want, just not in a website. Write an app instead. Sure, it may not be available on Apple device because of their restrictions on that matter, but that's a separate issue.

It would be nice if web developers could be trusted to only disable zoom when it either does not impact accessibility or when making a website accessible is absolutely not possible. In practice, making an inaccessible website is often more profitable because it's less effort. Also, I've seen a lot of ordinary websites disable zoom for no real reason.

Important websites have to be accessible. So if your website would not be accessible anyway, it not existing may not be a gain for anyone but it isn't a big deal either.

And in many cases, it is better for a website to not exist that for it to be inaccessible: Market forces, your employer, school, university or state can require you to access a website that is not accessible to you. They cannot do that if it does not exist.
> it obviously isn't try to make the point that each commute = 1 year

They aren't saying one commute takes a year off the life. They're saying that people who's job is riding the public commute infrastructure spend roughly 20 times as much time breathing the air in the commuter infrastructure as people who commute to/from work, so if the effect is linear... that's roughly a 10 year reduction in lifespan.

Or, are you trying to say that some underlying common factor between commuting and home/office air quality is present, and so the commute is just a proxy for that common factor? If that's the case, if that common factor is identifiable, it should be named. If that common factor isn't identifiable, how are we confident in attributing it to air quality?

Or, are you claiming that the air quality in the commute infrastructure is the culprit, but the effect is dramatically sublinear?
good tactic :) I observe the same virtue signaling. It's a very powerful belief. Recently someone told me they had to watch Game Changers 10 times because it seemed illogical. But now the same person thinks it's gospel. There are so many associations tied into vegetarianism, it moves people in ways they don't aknowledge

Agree, good insight!
I'm an archaeologist with relevant experience. Long distance, sustained contact between these regions didn't exist. Mayan trade networks are pretty heavily studied and from what we know they didn't extend north much past central Mexico.

It's very common for people to see similarities in regions that weren't connected by contact though. People find it very hard to identify cross-cultural relationships in art/design unless they're intimately familiar with the cultural background and language of the designs. As someone who presumably isn't a time traveling precolumbian native, you're doubly alien to their cultural background. It's the same sort of phenomenon as the other-race effect. With enough exposure and practice, you get better at seeing the nuances and differences that weren't immediately apparent.

Even archaeologists are affected by this and it only gets better with experience and study. There can also be false similarities in some objects and styles due to convergent evolution. Houses in certain parts of Nepal look remarkably like ancestral puebloan structures. There was no contact, but they converged on broadly similar styles because of similarities in the resources provided by the local environments and the constraints of building good houses.

For the record, there's a long history of "theories" that posit mesoamericans came up into what's now the US and built all of the native structures that are there today. These ideas are pretty soundly rejected by the archaeological community and they're also a bit racist. You undoubtedly didn't intend to suggest this, but that's likely how it came across to the ranger. Rangers aren't perfect and sometimes they have bad days. They're generally majority correct though and worth listening to when they shut down discussions.
The linked article refutes this point:

What? I am driving EVs multiple times a week in a European city and regenerative breaking is always happening at every brake action until mechanical brakes kick in.

That must reduce appliance of mechanical brakes at least by half.

You can turn regen braking off, but why would you unless maybe the EV model feels like shit when switching between regenerative and mechanical brakes.

This is unnecessarily pedantic. What parent meant is more akin to "if Earth would exist forever, and you would live forever on it, you'd see the entire future of the universe unfold". Obviously you won't see what happens on the moon when it is behind the horizon, but that was not the point.
I've worked in offices where the CO2 levels regularly spiked to levels not seen since... pants first started colonizing the land.

It's been, what, 30? 50? million years since atmospheric CO2 levels matched current outdoor levels, much less what happens inside.
A great example of this is the word "refusenik". Originally a term used to refer to those refused permission to emigrate from the USSR, but weirdly the British press began using it to mean "someone who doesn't want to do something". That is basically what that word means now in English, you'd probably struggle to find someone using it who knows the original meaning.

I believe the rated write cycle also considers data retention time, over the full range of its operating temperature. If the write cycle is exceeded, it's possible that it still somewhat works at room temperature, but is unable to reach its specified data retention time, especially at high temperature.

Do they compare like-for-like driving conditions and roadways? If it's just autopilot versus not-autopilot, that's flawed. People don't turn on autopilot in urban environments, for example, where accidents are more likely.
