The point is that they could move toward a system with private offices if they wanted to. Sure, it might be hard and take years to make progress, but they do hard things all the time and are an established and rich-beyond-compare company with plenty of time and money -- and yet they haven't gone that route.

Instead they're announcing their plans to use shared desks, chairs with built-in white-noise speakers, and balloon walls for office spaces as people return from working at home. Perhaps this is Phase I of their super-secret long-term plan to transition to private offices, but I somehow doubt it.
Part of the problem is that Linux desktop apps typically aren't designed to conserve on network usage and/or don't have mechanisms to do so without a push server.

For example, Matrix clients on Android/iOS will stay suspended entirely, then will wake up when you receive a push notification. Desktop clients, on the other hand, will stay running and receive every message, even if they're not messages that you necessarily care about/that would notify.

The protocol could in theory have an in-band way to tell the server "hey, I really only care about notifications now, could you only send me those?" but currently it doesn't. By contrast, most Android/iOS apps can rely on push notifications and suspend completely when they're not in the foreground - meaning they're not receiving anything but what's important enough to notify about.
There is a whole lot of industries based around shipping plugins. While some of these might work as external processes, they possibly still require some bridge to be loaded as .dll, .so, .dylib.

Also security updates. Other than that, static libs for the win.

Other examples, speeding up "link" times - Chrome uses component builds - e.g. bundle a bunch of C++ code as .dll and compile/load only that, rather than relink the whole .exe - slower to start and use, but apparently allows you faster development.

For what we do, we are using .dlls to enforce that certain C++ code (libs) are not suddenly using symbol from another lib if this was not intended (granted this could've been done if we compiled single .exe for the said lib, but gets the point). We also have mode where we use these .dlls instead of them being statically linked (having both).
I see, we need some coordination mechanism, and at that point, why not just use a central server to manage notifications :)

> we would expect to also see that countries and US states that failed to enact measures would be reporting high flu numbers to the WHO.

I don’t think so. Even without government policies in place, people become much much more vary of hygiene - that alone could account for a serious drop in new flu cases. The other factor as others mentioned is that someone with a weaker immune system who would have a pretty bad case of flu, had now a much higher chance of getting covid instead (due to covid quickly overtaking the number of cases due to its higher R number), so in a way covid being more infectious, sort of suffocated the flu.
I've been meme-ing about it, but I don't think leadership cares anymore. Instead, I just told my manager that there's 99% chance I'm leaving over the summer, it's a good excuse to take some time off after this crazy year anyways.
Unfortunately, compared to cross-platform Foss and more capable alternatives such as kicad, this is a pass from me. What does this offer that others do not -- what is its USP? Does it work well under wine, something that other commercial competitors (e.g. dip trace) makes use of?
It's definitely technically doable: you'd have to checksum every read-only page of a program and see if you already have one in cache.

But is it worth it though? Even "big" statically linked Rust programs are a few dozen MBs of executable (and not all of that is read-only, and even less will be shared with any other executable at any given time). With things like LTO identical source files can result in different machine code as well.

In the end it would be a lot of trouble for potentially very little gains.

At first I was annoyed that Rust defaulted to dynamic linking, it felt inefficient and overkill. But the more I think about it the less I can really justify doing it any other way, there are very few benefits to dynamic linking these days. The only one I can think of is overriding an application's behaviour through LD_PRELOAD, but few people know how to do that these days.

You're absolutely right, it is politics. Politics is all there is for discussions of subjects of humans interacting in groups. That's the definition ("Politics is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations between individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status.")

By that bar, no discussion of genocide, systemic discrimination, or individual prejudices can ever occur in any circles.

Chance of mutation depends mostly on the number of infected —- applying antibiotics is problematic because it is a repeated process, and the net amount of cell divisions is huge with iterating killing and “letting go”. With effective and strict measures, the pandemic could quickly die out with basically minimal chance of a super-mutation.

The current some half of the world somewhat protected, while other parts are breeding grounds is a pretty bad state to be at, with a potential mutation turning up and endangering the protected people as well again.
There was a thread on this just a couple days ago:

> they made something that they couldn't make, because no network was going to allow it on their network.

I think that’s probably true in the US, but less so in Europe, then Nokia’s main market. In the EU it wouldn’t have been up to the networks at all; bring your own device was and is quite common and networks are required to allow it. Nokia did produce a number of very premium smartphones (more expensive than the first iPhone, even!); they were just never all that consumer-friendly (though they made a few attempts).
there's a certain amount of a "head in the sand" vibe here at HN. I guess if these VC types don't have raw stats like DAU/MAU or something's not monetizable, there's nothing it it for them.
I don't think the point is to suppress history. But that ideas about human rights can have a firmer foundation than a particular religion.

I.e. moral principles such as equality and some basic rights result in a safer and more productive society for the vast majority of people, vs. alternate principles.

They are less arbitrary principles than saying this group of people is better than another group, and results in a society with greater productivity and resiliancy than one where the strong continually put down the weak.

The history is still meaningful, but is not the rationale.
The Algorithm as I understand it (not the author) is essentially equivalent to the nature of the One Ring in Lord of the Rings. One can attempt to do good with it, but it ultimately twists motives to its own goals: using itself more.

The more time spent on the Internet looking for things you want, the more information you generate to enable the Algorithm to make things that you don't consciously know that you want--so long as you stay online.

These could be savior fantasies, delusory persecution complexes, social approval, lootbox-style dopamine mining, etc, but it reduces to the Internet providing what the user actually unconsciously wants in a hedonic escalation with the ultimate goal of keeping the user online. This transcends the usual "you are the product" rhetoric.

This isn't about for-profit dark patterns; this is about a non-fictional Infinite Jest taking over, with the warning that eventually the Algorithm will find your bespoke lever that you can't volitionally turn off or turn away from to keep you online in perpetuity.

I personally imagine this is similar to the nature of the conscious mind, so not unique to the Internet, but yeah.
Unfortunately, in the US a lot of the issue with restoration is the stupidly long copyright terms.

Studio execs have no incentive to do anything with that pile of archives since the copyright effectively never expires.

If the copyright actually expired, the studio would have to release those to monetize them or risk getting scooped by someone else. As things stand, they just leave them in the vaults until they catch fire and burn.
In most cases, they don’t have to work that hard to figure out who you are (or that you’re the same person here as you are there): you log on from the same IP address most of the time.
Android is running Linux as much as my router is. Or my TV. Or all those docker containers with a thin image and a Go application.

It’s not a desktop Linux OS, of course. But it’s still Linux.
Also compilers nowadays are smarter and can perform link time optimizations. Meaning that if of a library you only use a single function, in the final executable you would only get that single function. In reality code that use static linking could be more efficient than code that uses dynamic linking.

And you have to consider some performance penalty when using shared libraries. First you have a time penalty when loading the executable, since first you have to run the interpreter (ld-linux) and then your actual code. But also for each function call you have to make an indirect jump into it.
I do too. How else to keep up with 655 feeds?
Some of these seem to be captive audience apps. Like some delivery company saying that you must use the app to track your package. Or the DSM diagnostic criteria (the alternative probably is an even more expensive paper copy).

GNOME Web works pretty well in my experience, though it could be faster and it's still missing WebRTC support.

> Contacts app?

GNOME Contacts seems to work well enough on my Librem 5 - synced straight away with my Nextcloud instance, vs. on Android where I had to find a third-party app to do that.
Yeah, the idea is widespread and not unique to the Unix world, but many apps are self-contained on Windows, whereas it is quite rare on Linux, AFAIK.

Cascading dependencies are a really bad thing, containers were invented mostly to fix a bad design by adding a new layer...

The simple fact that we need an installer is a sign that something is wrong.
I have a librem 5 and it seems quite a bit smoother than the pine videos I've seen.

In some pine videos I've seen people swiping multiple times before the touch is detected or an action is taken.

I don't know if purism has tighter driver integration, or if the hardware is just faster.

I haven't figured out how to get good apps though.

I think this is still the hallmark of API volatility.

I personally think with the stalling of serial speed in CPUs, we will eventually have to optimize and stabilize interfaces.

I think some of that will require stabilization of many APIs and libraries such that they don't change over the span of a decade.

This era is basically unthinkable in the current age, but I think that is because we have been living in the "free lunch" era of faster better CPUs every year for too long.

Much like all of the 20th century was an era of resource availability. The 21st will be an era of succeeding within resource constraints: with efficiency.

Those libraries will be excellent candidates for shared libraries.

> Do these app stores (try to) verify that apps behave appropriately once given access to carrier cellular networks?

It's automated, but sometimes underpaid contractors are given a few minutes to inspect an app.

However, due to the lack of competition, there's no pressure for better screening of apps. A free market for mobile app distribution would gives users more security, better efficiency and experiences, and lower prices as companies competed to provide better mobile app distribution methods.
I believe this is the opinion[1] discussed in the article. The important bit explaining the court’s reasoning starts on page 16. Basically, Amazon inserts themselves in the middle of transactions beyond merely providing a “storefront”.

> Owners of malls typically do not serve as conduits for payment and communication in each transaction between a buyer and a seller. Moreover, they do not typically charge a per-item fee rather than a fixed amount to rent their storefronts. Instead, these actions – 1) interacting with the customer, 2) taking the order, 3) processing the order to the third party seller, 4) collecting the money, and 5) being paid a percentage of the sale – are consistent with a retailer or a distributor of consumer goods.

I would say Etsy, eBay, and a Shopify lean slightly more mall-like than Amazon but whether that difference is enough for their legal department to be comfortable concluding they’re definitely outside the scope of this ruling is impossible to say. You can bet they’ll all be reviewing and revising their third-party seller program documents, though.

Slightly related, there was a recent case in Philadelphia that came to a similar conclusion (holding Amazon responsible for defective third-party products) for an entirely different reason: the commingling of Amazon-owned inventory and third-party inventory.

Regardless of how Amazon reacts to this specific case I think the direction things are heading for Amazon with respect to products liability is pretty clear.

some amazon third party sales are shipped from/by the third the third party and some are fulfilled by amazon. the article doesn't state which was true in this case, but my suspicion is it actually did come from amazon's storage, which is never the case for ebay/etsy/etc.
What if Stripe could be the default in-app payment provider for every app on your phone, replacing iTunes, or could compete with Apple Pay on websites in Safari?

My immediate response to this is that if this is possible, then how do we stop MaliciousPaymentSkimmerApp from social engineering people into becoming the default in-app payment provider for every app on their phone?

I mean, sure, I would like the option to replace the default camera app too, but now I'm asking myself how we make sure MaliciousCloneOfCoolCameraApp isn't sending every photo it takes to a remote server that scans for anything its owners think might be able to make it money?

(There is some prior art for this in iOS' custom keyboard world, I suppose. I was excited for those but that quickly faded when every damn custom keyboard demanded Internet access, which is not a thing I want my keyboard to have, whatever their excuse may have been.)
This article doesn't really delve into the ruling at all, so I'm not sure. It's quite possible narrower than that, having to do with something specific about how Amazon does business, in which case I would expect them to do doing whatever makes them liable rather than fixing the reliability issue. Honestly, I mostly just wish they'd put country flags next to sellers names so I could avoid getting products from China

From the same era, I had Nokia's N770, N810 and N900. All three were based on Linux, and they were great.

tldr: Google's new app bundle signing might be a precursor (well, almost certainly is) to Google's being able to replace parts of and modify your app on the fly when installed by certain targeted users or within certain targeted countries at Google's whim, with users being none the wiser.

Google might do this for a lot of reasons, and none of them seem to be good. FWIW, Google promises not to change the functionality of your apps.

Finally, it appears to be the intention that this will justify setting a new norm and become mandatory for all apps.

People are excited to watch card pack openings, more content creators start making that content since it's popular, demand for old sealed product goes up driving price increases which also makes it more exciting, not to mention the increase in content introduces a broader audience, and then again more people interested leads to more content and demand and price increases.

It's a feedback loop, hard to say exactly what got it going, how big it can get, and what happens when it slows or stops, but for now you can enjoy the mania.

Matt Levine might credit this to his "boredom markets hypothesis" during the pandemic.
