It would be a fantastic outcome of this case if the use of closed standards and lack of integration APIs in a high-market-share product gave rise to a presumption of monopolistic practices. That is obviously what drives the lack of integration points with iMessage and other messaging services, but right now there is no consequence. If it were codified, even in a court precedent, it might be enough to get these systems to start playing nicely again. Remember the days when you could write a client that would connect to most online chat services? I want those days back.

(To be clear, I guess this is wishful thinking. But I would be happy if it came to pass.)

Even better would be a requirement to provide interoperability APIs at a legislative level, but I guess that will be a long time coming.
Cybersecurity in a Harsh Environment
Yes, yes it is a harbinger about underlying currency value issues.

There is a game economic theory guy on YouTube (German though) where he explains it: https://youtu.be/bokHl4zmbPg

Pretty cool!
It's not a criticism really, just an observation ;)

It just happens so that most software development is more like the Linux kernel and less like game development, so for most software projects git is a good fit indeed, just not for gamedev. Maybe it's worth looking into how CGI studios are managing their data, I guess they have the same problems to solve as gamedev studios.

There are specialized solutions though, like https://www.plasticscm.com/ (quite recently acquired by Unity).

I don’t know why you’re taking this needlessly snide tone.
It seems obvious that GP thinks that iMessage would have dominated, even WhatsApp in Europe.
In my case I don't care for the green/blue bubble divide, EXCEPT that I have a limited SMS plan and every time someone messages me it potentially costs me $0.10. That is not that significant until someone sends a series of short messages that could have been bundled into one, and I can't help but think "this person just cost me the price of a coffee".

It's not even Apple's fault, but rather AT&T's confusing and expensive billing options. I could also upgrade to an unlimited messaging plan, but 90% of the billing cycles I'd be overpaying.

The part that can be done in 200 hours can be done with conventional methods in 200 hours.

Framing the superstructure of a building is always the fastest part. Site preparation beforehand and installing services and finishes afterwards are what takes most of the time.

Keep in mind that 200 hours is the time on site. It doesn't include lead time. If there are ten projects ahead of yours, you're 2000 hours out and because there is a dependency on a particular machine, you just have to wait. While you are waiting for your 200 hours, there will be weather delays on the other projects. Other owners will be like you and decide to add an extra room while the machine is there. Framing crews are largely fungible. Proprietary machines and materials are not.

So now it is finally your turn. Any other trades that need to be onsite haven't been sitting around waiting. They are off on other projects with their own schedules, delays, change orders and problems. Sure you scheduled them for 2200 hours out, but that turned out to be 3200 hours and the plumber will be free at the 3700 hour mark and the electrician at t=4000 hours. Because that's the way construction actually works.

It's why everyone has heard horror stories. It's why 200 hours sounds too good to be true. I mean how long will it take you to find a piece of land with suitable soil? How much time will it take to figure out where to put your strip mine on the property?

Also keep in mind that 200 hours is five forty hour work weeks (and 2000 hours a work year). That 3d printer has to be fed by someone and that someone won’t be working round the clock.
Everyone saying it is too small to be a pineapple: the fruit right next to it is a pomegranate. Take two pomegranates and stack them - not too far off now on the size of the pineapple. Add to that that fruits were smaller back then; but even then, I’ve had a pineapple nearly as small as a large apple. The real question: how big are those grapes?!

Oh, sorry for that. It looks like the FT are tightening their paywall. Try following the link in this tweet:

"Books about [...] practical, domestic tasks like cooking were were in high demand and drove nonfiction sales. Nonfiction titles for kids grew more than 23 percent as parents turned to books to educate their homebound children."

I mean...I'm not surprised? The pandemic forced a lot of folks to stay home so I would imagine they would be interesting in learning new domestic tasks, such as cooking. And if a lot of kids were forced to be remote learning as well, that seems like a logical extension that parents would get involved too.

In the cookbook world, it seems that nearly everyone has a cookbook, so seeing a general cookbook (i.e. it has a lot of different recipes to try) with a couple of well known people (Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewert) would seem like a safe bet to purchase.

That being said....I would honestly pass on “From Crook to Cook”. I got it as a holiday present, and I tried a couple of recipes. A lot of the recipes were very off the mark for how to do things, which honestly surprised me considering it was written with Martha Stewert.

The one that sticks out to me is a cimmamon bun recipe I tried in it. One of the (many) problems was the recipe only called for one rise, and IIRC it was after you already shaped the buns in the pan. They did not have a first rise (before shaping) then a proofing stage (after shaping), which I just added because I knew to do that. I had to modify the recipe in several ways and by the end it just was a different recipe. (if you are interested in baking, I highly suggest https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes . I have their cookbook, and it is a fantastic resource).
I feel exactly the same.

But it was a bit infuriating to realize how huge an impact it was having on my kids who were being socially excluded for the sin of Android. Many children have ipads and hand me down iphones with no SIM just for iMessage, which they all just refer to as texting.
The parent's comment is so infuriating: yes, you can chose something else instead of Google, but it hardly matters because all of them are more or less equally terrible. Which, I guess, only makes sense in the competitive market: way too terrible or way too pleasant entities go bust (for slightly different reasons), what's left are entities that are just "good enough", and there is not much reason for them to try and improve the quality.
I love the website, (it actually helps a lot). I think there should be some way to print out the plans, to be used in real-life planning. Also, it would be nice if there was some sort of disclaimer on how the financial data we input is used, because that stuff can be sensitive, and could peer people off.
S3 is a de facto standard supported by multiple vendors and open source technology. You can pick lots of other cloud vendors and use S3 there, or you can self-host S3. It's one of many AWS technologies that is not vendor-locked.
> Consent is unambiguous and enthusiastic yes.

No, “consent” is, like “intent” on the other side, a mental state rather than an action: it is the active desire for the act.

An ambiguous and enthusiastic yes is outward evidence of consent, though, and it tends to be the kind of evidence without which (or at least, some similarly very clear sign) we would tend not to infer consent to other acts where consent negates criminality, like battery.
Enso. Open source visual programming in Python, Java, JavaScript, and R
Hi, I'm Wojciech, one of the founders of Enso (https://enso.org) :)

SEE THE DEMO HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQvWMoOjmQk&ab_channel=Enso

What is Enso?
Enso is an award-winning interactive programming language with dual visual and textual representations. It is a tool that spans the entire stack, going from high-level visualization and communication to the nitty-gritty of backend services, all in a single language.
Enso is also a polyglot language - it lets you import any library from Enso, Java, JavaScript, R, or Python, and use functions, callbacks, and data types without any wrappers. The Enso compiler and the underlying GraalVM JIT compiler, compile them to the same instruction set with a unified memory model.

What is this post about?
Enso has visual and textual syntax. We have released Enso 2.0 alpha to the public as a free, open-source project over a week ago and we got a lot of questions regarding what is the best way to learn its textual syntax. To address these questions, we have created a dedicated page for it!
Check it out here: https://enso.org/docs/syntax

If you want to learn more about Enso, check the following links!
- our website: https://enso.org
- our GitHub (Enso is Open Source and free to use): https://github.com/enso-org/enso

If you have any questions, I'd love to answer them! <3

Personally my lazy solution to config files is using ansible-vault.

It basically lets you encrypt your secrets and store them in your git how much you want. You then only need one password when decrypting the vault.
It's a hard problem - and depends on your target market. That being said, in my experience most companies with the maturity to go hunting for a tool like this will also have established vendor security requirements. On a baseline "trust" level - having an identity associated with the project beyond a new "brand" can help bridge that gap, especially if there are folks with strong personal reputations attached.

On the product side, https://www.enterpriseready.io/ does a good job breaking down expectations for SaaS (https://www.enterpriseready.io/features/product-security/).

In the long term, you'll find many of the largest possible customers will demand an on-prem option, and/or some level of external attestation (e.g. a pentest, SOC2, etc.)

I acknowledge this is a lot to throw at someone getting a product going, and don't want to be discouraging, but security products have an even larger expectation - especially because I expect your buyer and user personas to be security-centric

On Using to do Lists Efficiently
Accenture is primarily a PowerPoint consulting firm. Many companies around the world desperately need PowerPoints from external consultancies to help them plan out their innovation roadmaps, apparently. They pay a huge premium for expensive local consultants to create these PowerPoints, because Accenture uses big, bold colorful fonts in their presentations, and Accenture's clients simply don't have the necessary expertise to use these fonts.

Also, occasionally, there is some actual dev/implementation work that accompanies the PowerPoints. This work is carried out, poorly, by offshore resources who are certified in as many certifications as possible. Certifications are extremely important for them, because otherwise, when these resources are on the bench, they'd have nothing else to do.

Oh, also, Blockchain. And AI. These are important concepts for Accenture, and it's totally okay if clients pay millions of dollars for blockchain/AI solutions that massively disappoint, because innovation.

Source: worked at a subsidiary of ACN for a few years, interacted with the ACN folks quite a bit, and while my description above is obviously snarky/sarcastic, it surprisingly isn't really that far from the truth.

In summation, I have absolutely no idea why Accenture is worth $140B.
While I agree with the general point of this paper I don’t think it’s quite right to compare the current situation with the last AI spring. It’s not AGI but it’s very good narrow AI that has real commercial value right now. The systems back then did not to the same extent, and for this reason I don’t see funding dry up for current ML approaches.

> It's unlikely that prosecutors don't realize how Signal works.

Why would you expect them to understand how Signal works? A lawyer does not and cannot become a subject matter expert for every aspect of a case they undertake.

A lawyer's job is to investigate every possible avenue for evidence to support their case. They're going to ask Signal for everything imaginable and have legal recourse if they discover at a later date that Signal withheld information.

A lawyer with a complete understanding of how Signal works and intimate knowledge of it would still send the same subpoena and expect the same response. They would never say "Oh Signal? That's a dead end, don't bother."
From figure 6 in the paper, it looks like you get the win for anything from 30 degrees angle upwards. But with 0 degrees angle, the turbines seem to interfere, and you get something like 50% loss. So with a westerly prevailing wind (from 270 degrees), you'd likely put the turbines in rows at 210 or 330 degrees. If you used 210 degrees, and the wind comes from 210 degrees, you lose. Almost all the rest of the time you win. With some simple analysis of historic wind directions, you ought to be able to choose the angle to maximize net output by putting the inefficient angle in a direction that is relatively uncommon.
It's always possible, but the collateral damage might be pretty bad...
> And the whole blue/green bubble pretentiousness

Honestly, reading the rest of the comments in this thread to this effect, it's terrifying that the runaway success of a single company can so degrade the fabric of personal relationships this way.

The only people I've met who use iMessage have been Americans and the Americans I've met that live in the UK use WhatsApp or Messenger as their primary local comms, though frequently iMessage with friends in the US. I wonder why it is that iMessage hasn't enjoyed the same dominance here, even when the iPhone has. (45% iPhone in the US vs 40% in the UK)

Tesla is not terribly dependent on its share price. They have 17 Billion in cash on hand so they can fund their operations for quite a few years to come, even in a market downturn (we had a market downturn last year by the way in which they continued to grow).

A large drop in shareholders certainly would disappoint shareholders but they are the ones valuing Tesla so high. Musk is on the record saying the share price is too high and it's factoring in a ton of potential future growth.
Wind is rarely exactly in one direction. A constant west wind isn't always directly 270 degrees, there is a large plus/minus factor in that.

Maybe they missed a chance to own global messaging, though I’m not sure that’s true given the number of competing messaging platforms, but iMessage being a walled garden has sold a shitload of devices for Apple and served as a major way of locking people into their ecosystem. It’s a major differentiator from Android/PC products, and it’s something I’ve heard mentioned a lot when people are choosing between Android and iOS or between PC laptop vs MacBook.

I think people are underestimating the value that Apple has derived in terms of device sales from not expanding iMessage to other platforms, and device sales are worth a lot of money compared to new messaging-only users.
> fears of hosting Mac roms leading to incomplete instructions and shady download sites

I'm a bit of an emulator hobbyist and have played with the native version of Basilisk II. If you weren't an outsider and part of the communities on reddit/discord you'd know the torrents trackers to use (public and private). Sure, there are shady sites, but that's not the emulators fault. And the fix is definitely not killing the good performance of a native emu by transpiling it to JS. Improved documentation could help send new users down a better path.
I'm not sure why people keep using the 30% number. For businesses that make less than $1mil a year (I am assuming that's most of us who are hobbyist or indie developers here), you literally have to push a button to enable the small business program (it was that easy for me) to reduce it to 15%.

It has been this way since November, and it seems like either nobody noticed, or they seem to still enjoy quoting the 30% number. If you make more than $1mil a year you probably can afford to deal with that. You're also probably putting significantly more bandwidth off Apple's servers than an app that's had 100 downloads.

Unity does a similar thing, but it's free for up to a certain income, pay after that.

I personally would like to see that reduced to 10%, but at least Apple responded to the constant criticism that 30% was ludicrous.

From Apple:

• Existing developers who made up to $1 million in 2020 for all of their apps, as well as developers new to the App Store, can qualify for the program and the reduced (15%) commission.

• If a participating developer surpasses the $1 million threshold, the standard commission rate will apply for the remainder of the year.

• If a developer’s business falls below the $1 million threshold in a future calendar year, they can requalify for the 15 percent commission the year after.
