I'm a little bit disappointed by the solution of this article.

They start with:
"This stack was created out of frustration due to the fact that to this day there's no easy way to have a full email server without the overhead of installing and configuring all servers needed to handle incoming and outgoing messages."

Ok, so the point is that it is too complicated/frustrating to deploy an email server.

But look at their solution in "what will deploy"... in the graph there are over 40 entities! In the following they list 13 different aws components needed.

And all of that not even really doing the core feature of email sending/receiving that is provided by SES.

Maybe you can deploy it with a single cloudformation recipe, but then it is so so many systems that you will have to watch and check for issues, quota, policies, usage billing and configuration.

And you are not even in control, you have to go lick aws ass for easing the restrictions on the number of emails sent and to who. Plus there are probably a number of drawbacks and hidden limits that are not exposed to you by aws and that you will discover the hard way.

For exemple, looking at the description I'm wondering, how do you do coherent backups at a random time? Knowing the quality of service of aws api, what do you do when there are random crash, network errors and co in the middle of the pipelines/lambdas?

In my opinion this is a good exemple of an over-engineered solution.
Can you present me a sleek smartphone design with a rubber gasket and screws? I'm genuinely curious what you have in mind.
Usually I'd say your correct. Like if I hadn't been laid off and decided to go back to school I would have had no problem buying the dip during the recession in 2008.

But last year could have gone very differently. The US (and the world in general) was tested in all sorts of ways last year in ways the people and the government are really not used to, and things probably should have gone a lot worse than it ended up going, but somehow the country made it through intact, although unfortunately with a lot of dead people and failed businesses.

It went well (for the stock market, at least) this time. Next time, maybe not, especially with climate change continuously getting worse with almost nothing being done about it.

For myself, I didn't bother selling any of my 401k (and kept putting money into it), so I didn't lose anything, but I did start putting spare money into other assets.
They don't need one. An accomplice is a person who knowingly, voluntarily, or intentionally gives assistance to another in (or in some cases fails to prevent another from) the commission of a crime.

The judge is going to be very annoyed at the incompetent prosecutor for wasting his time improperly trying to try anybody and anything connected to the actual actor as an accomplice.
> Now Google needs to deliver, but I have no doubt that they will.

Really? I'm thinking there's about a 90% chance that it will be a stillbirth. And if not, how long will they actually keep it up? Not a great track record for maintaining "commitments" past 5 years or so.
They'll hold off on regulating Bitcoin until it starts being used to get dirty money out of America.

When that happens they will suddenly remember that its use value is strictly limited to illegal transactions and speculation.

Might be too late by that point tho.
> You can't argue it delivers anywhere close to that amount of value.

Why not?
Apple has at least 30% market share in EU, you're giving the EMEA number.
"Someone who controls the image data" to me that sound like something outside the sandbox manipulating the image data given to the sandbox.

If this is the case it mean there is already a hacker or virus running outside the sandbox which mean I already have bigger problem to worry about :).
Adding some further comments since there were a lot of questions: I did a portfolio approach in which you invested the same amount each year. I determined the final returns from very outcome (i.e purchase and hold and sell every year combination) of investment over the last 40 years and did both nominal and inflation adjusted dollars.
This is a hard one for me. My wife and I want/need a good plan. One that doesn't require us to get referrals, and has good coverage for medication. I would happily pay for this plan, but I can't seem to find one on my own. Nothing is comparable to what I currently have through my employer.
> You are telling your experience as if it's one size fits all.

No, I'm not. I'm telling my experience exactly as it has been... my experience. One should not have to preface all of their comments with "this is my experience". That's de facto implied if you remove qualifiers like "this study indicates [1]" or "its been proven [1]", etc.

I said you can do a lot. You an do a lot. Whether it works for you or not, is entirely dependent on your own immune system.

You read it as something else here and that's on you. I have been clear in this thread to point out that there are differences in how we all deal with illness. This is what worked, FOR ME.
its Gergo with Cherry red and XDA keycaps.

It is almost as if I designed it myself to fix well known problems like overloaded little fingers, navigation keys too far from home row etc.

However it looks like it was too many changes at time. Cherry red is good for typing text, however not that good for modifier keys. Ortholinear takes time to get used to. Now I have 5! modifiers and it seems like it is too much - it is not that easy to get used to.

Before buying Gergo I swapped Ctrl and Alt and the change went surprisingly smooth and were very rewarding - Crtl shortcuts are a lot easier now - I felt like I was ready for more radical changes, which I thought would be more rewarding, but it turned out I was not (
Can someone explain what the actual issue is here? Roku is claiming it’s not about the money and they both seem to be talking past each other to a degree.
He’s not taking inflation into account, which makes the whole exercise rather suspect.
> I feel like this is worth launching a lawsuit against Roku.

On what grounds?
If Fauna went open-source, I'd make the case to pay for their hosting. There's business value in just having the option to host it internally or make modifications.
4% is 4%. They are paying the expenditures to maintain their military. Why would they not be looking for a return on their investment? It's strange we're even arguing about this given that their official position is that they will invade in due time if Taiwan does not unconditionally surrender.

We know for a fact that Apple was artificially lowering their battery capacity, and that's most likely just the beginning. The PR speak about it being done to protect batteries is BS and we all know it. It incentivizes more purchasing. Much like how the GTA5 loading bug was never solved because it led to more advertisements for digital currency being forced upon one's eyes...

Every update I get on my mac, or Iphone slows it down. Bloat and "protecting the users battery" are the root causes, and ultimately Apple is one of the best examples of a company "artificially shortening" things via design choices.
I feel like they're one of the only tools we have collectively as a society to counteract "tragedy of the commons"/negative externality situations. Is a tax that brings the financial costs of an action in line with its distributed societal costs that unethical?

Seems to me all these problems would simply vanish if consumers could decide what they want to install.

All this craziness started with App Store 's to begin with, and hopefully one day might end with their demise. One can hope.
From the original article,

> Offering services within the EU
Hosting service providers are covered by the Regulation if they "offer services within the EU".

> The main repercussion of this is extraterritoriality: that providers established outside the EU can still be in scope of the Regulation.

And "hosting services" seems to include running a blog with comments, not the narrow technical definition we'd be familiar with.

So a cursory read suggests that yes, a personal blog would be theoretically targetable.

FWIW, it seems unlikely that they are actually going to go after personal blog operators, and that the intent here is really to get sites like FB / Reddit / Parler that are based outside of the EU, but that show content to users inside the EU. But I'm not seeing anything that actually prevents them from pointing this weapon at the little guys. (Not an expert in this area so please let me know if I'm thinking about this wrong).
Will likely be ruled unconstitutional under WA state constitution:

> If Apple doesn't like the EU's rules why not just stop doing business there?

What rules? These are proposals for rules, and also lawsuits. There are arguments that have merit on both sides. But yea sure, if it was me and I were Tim Cook and had unlimited authority and the E.U. made Apple open up to 3rd party App Stores I'd pull the iPhone from Europe. Bad business decision most likely, but principled at least. Instead they're likely going to just do something else about it. There's always work arounds. Closing off APIs, charging gargantuan fees to be listed on the App Store for big players like Spotify, etc.

There are plenty of companies chomping at the bit to get on the App Store top lists and happy to pay a fee to do so.

> don't want Apple to bargain on my behalf. I want apple to fuck off, get out of my way, and stop telling me what I can run on my hardware.

I think Apple platforms aren't for you then. They're highly opinionated and always have been.

> The app store is overrun with scams, the approval process is nonobjective and unreliable, and prohibits entire classes of useful software on shaky moralizing grounds.

So the solution is third party app stores that are even worse?
> I think it's time we have legislation that working apps cannot be removed from platforms over stupid corporate spats.

That's the way the Roku works. If you already have the app installed, then it will continue to work and function as-is.

It's only disappeared from the store. If you uninstall, you won't be able to reinstall, but the app isn't remotely removed.
Agreed. Wow, Ethereum 2.0 has wasm support? I hope nobody is writing smart contracts in C++...
a lot of consumer electronics are a bunch of strung together reference implementations. the schematic isn't really the secret sauce, especially since with a soldering iron, a multimeter (and maybe an lcr meter) and time, you could completely recreate it without difficulty. not practical for a repair shop's level of income/device, but if you wanted to steal a design, you could easily do this

These prices are nationwide (and apparently international?). I think it is worst for construction grade material but I haven't called a real lumber yard to get prices on hardwood or cabinet grade plywood.

App is shorthand from application, no known person "coined it", because that term is going back to eighties or earlier.
Apple had MacApp (which was application framework) in 1985, that time app was already well known shorthand, for example Atari had file extension .app.

Unrelated, but TOPS-10 operating system had executables named with extension .exe, that happened somewhere in 1967-1970.
TOPS-10 had lots of interesting stuff, that later is similarly done by newer OSes. Probably my favorite is ctrl+t, which sends SIGINFO in FreeBSD, giving you status from current running program. And what we see in TOPS-10 manual: "When you type CTRL/T (control-T), the monitor prints status information pertaining to your job on your terminal."

There are a LOT of misspellings in that article, enough for me to have a really difficult time taking it seriously.
Paypal also support the SEPA bank direct debit I mentionned above as a source of funds, meaning you don't even have to initiate a bank transfer they do it for you and it's instant. Bank account -> paypal -> spotify, in one or two clicks and no waiting time.
Probably because those that don't act that way and take no money for pushing distribution get undercut by those that do.

I can well see Roku starting out with best intentions and then realizing that they're gonna have to play the game too if they don't wanna be priced out.

You can't really rely upon the average person shopping for a TV media player understanding the economics of content distribution. They'll get the device that looks cheap and good.
At nearly 40 I really struggle to justify the time to play games. The really good games, the kind that offer amazing experiences, require so many hours to get to that point that you start to compare it against other activities that are far more fulfilling. Looking at some people's Steam play times, they are in the 100's of hours on a single game, which is the time needed to, for example learn a new language. (0)

Now we all need to switch off sometimes, but games require a real commitment, whilst other activities such as watching TV, I can walk away and come back months or years later to carry on with a series.

Or do exercise - which has real benefits in a short period of time.

In my 20s I spent several hours each day playing games. Time I'll never get back and I have nothing to show for it :(

Force you to choose more RAM from the factory where they charge high margins.
So google should continue to be forced to pay royalties for a codec because Roku refuses to slightly increase the cost-of-goods by utilizing a newer chipset that supports AV1?

On HN of all places, I'm surprised to see that the guy throwing his weight around to GET RID of proprietary codecs is being portrayed as the bad guy.

I'm sure if you dig far enough into my history you'll find I have absolutely no sympathy for google under almost any circumstances, but in this case they're doing the right thing.
Just because you didn't doesn't mean they did and you didn't actually have any vulnerabilities. There is no such provable attestation of security in serverless model.

> >> A good mechanical keyboard can alleviate the fatigue of typing. Users who need to type for a long time can consider it.
> This claim seems dubious.

Having had some RSI issues; I have found significant improvement since I started swapping mechanical keyboards around. I don't bottom-out as much which alleviates some finger pain I had after using my previous rubber-dome.

Not for everyone I'm sure; but it does help. I rotate a Magic Keyboard and ~3-4 different mechanical keyboards on various desks to get different angles and pressures also.
There will always be a cohort which values living in the metropolis as opposed to just working for a company that has an address there, but clearly the growth in remote work is allowing workers in all sorts of industries to spread out somewhat and live where they would like to live. I can't help but think this will be a huge boon for smaller communities.

Calling Tom Pullings "arriviste" is a slander. He was already a master's mate (midshipman) at the beginning of the series, and advanced through a combination of excellent seamanship and Aubrey's patronage (not always a positive thing!). If anyone was "arriviste" it was the captain who complained who arrived at his station mainly through birth and class instead of seamanship.
Haha what are you talking about? Building an app store is... not hard. It's some detail pages and file transfer. That's it. I would definitely not rather die than build one. I actually laughed out loud when I read your comment, because I have in fact already worked on App Stores – I contributed to some of the jailbreak app stores (and ran my own repos) when I was a teenager. So yes, I think I have a pretty good handle on the costs (and they've only come down since then).

For your own edification on costs, just look at AWS prices to see how much it costs to store and transfer a file on S3 (fractions of fractions of pennies) – that type of activity is the main expense. This is not my opinion, it is... how much this kind of thing costs. You seem to think that is unknowable or something to anyone that is not Apple, but that's obviously not the case.

Hell, I'd almost be willing to bet that the existing developer account fees ($99pa for individual, $299pa for biz) could cover server costs for the iOS App Store (with a 0% cut).

The other way we know that it is not actually that expensive to operate is because otherwise Apple would allow other app stores and not be monopolistic about the whole thing. But they know that their model (taking 30% of revenue) would not be competitive in a free market, so they don't allow a free market.

> Malware

Please re-read my comment, especially the part about sandboxing and 3rd-party app stores. The suggestion is not that anyone can put anything in Apple's app store, it is that people should be able to have 3rd party app stores on their phone, which they can enable/install at their own risk. And those other app stores can have their own rules, e.g. if nobody else did I would start one where we charge cost+, as outlined above with S3 costs. E.g. if it costs me $1000 to deliver your apps + updates to your users every month, I charge you cost + 30%, or $1300 (or w/e). Spotify et al would of course prefer to use my app store, because that is much cheaper than having to pay 30/15% of revenue to Apple for every sub.
>These options are not being made available in the first place.

Could it be because it's not financially feasible? If you present the idea of a repairable alternative to an iPad, are any investors going to take you up on it?

I think a big aspect of this whole debate is that manufacturing efficiencies have gone up so much, that it's simply not economically worth it to sacrifice the resiliency and cost effectiveness of making it completely integrated. The cost to launch a new product and manufacturing line is also very high, so that you have to be really sure a sufficient number of consumers will want it.

On top of that, as a seller, you get to keep costs low when you have to spend less on dealing with people tinkering with it and then sending it in for warranty.

Unfortunately, I don't think a "tinkerable" option can compete on price to value ratio such that sufficient people would buy it to make it a feasible investment.

>it's about making it possible for local markets for software and hardware maintenance and repair to exist.

Efficiency is frequently a trade off for a word that I can't think of, but maybe can be described as "security" or "local security". It's similar to not needing a butcher, produce market, shoe store once a Walmart Supercenter rolls into town. I struggle to come up with a legal requirement that would restrict efficiency such that it does not give others (globally) a competitive advantage, but still retains "local security".
Defamation. What Roku is alleging is a direct attack on Google's reputation and if Google is telling the truth then it should be easy to verify in communications between Roku and Google.
Is there supposed to be a way to hide regions? The "Enabled Regions" menu doesn't appear to do anything for me.
Indeed they do. For example my hard drive belongs to me and yours to you. There is no way I can arrange the pattern of magnetic ones and zeros such that it magically becomes YOUR property in any way that any proponent of traditional property would understand. That is to say imaginary property is a set of restrictions on how I am allowed to use my actual property.

This restriction is supposed to be justified by society benefiting from the useful arts and sciences. I don't see a two-bit fight fitting that bill.
It's a pity lead is so poisonous over time because white pigment made from lead is just superior for oil painting. Skin tones in particular glow in a way that just doesn't happen with other kinds of white. I bought a small quantity once from a local madman who claimed he made it from lead weights and horse manure and it was stunning stuff. Not worth the exposure risk in my opinion but the quality of the pigment was undeniable.
It's socialism, yet again - government dictating to companies how they have to design and build their products. Only 0,00001% of people want to be able to repair their own stuff, but we all will have to pay for the extra hoops companies will be forced to jump through for political correctness.

If you think people want repairable products, build them. If you are correct, people will buy them, rather than the products of the competition. Why do you need government rules for that?

There are even companies trying to build repairable smartphones, and some people (the 0,00001%) are buying them.
> I'm curious if you've ever made the same argument for credit cards, debit cards and the like. All of them charge a percentage to the seller too (and many a times it's a fixed fee plus a percentage).

I always thought debit was a fixed fee. I just looked up one of the most common processors in Canada and it says the max fee is $0.035 going as low as $0.02 if you fall into a market segment that skews towards less than $20 per transaction.

I intentionally pay debit for everything and keep a low fee, low interest credit card with no perks.

Their official position is that they will invade if any of a few specific things occur. And China's military spending is less than 4% of their GDP last I checked. That seems pretty good to me given all the geopolitical aggression they're receiving from the country that makes up 38% of global military spending.

I personally don’t care about installing my own stuff on my iPhone. I bought it knowing full well I couldn’t do it. But you’re right: when support ends, it is pretty crazy how the only way to install unapproved apps is through jailbreaks. If a manufacturer isn’t going to support a mass produced device anymore, they shouldn’t be able to just fold their arms and say, “we have a newer model!”
I'm sure that will look good from a PR perspective, and help speed up the resolution of this issue. /s
