Sounds like the judge had some very sharp questions, big props to her. It seemed to me like Tim Cook and Apple were not as prepared as they should've been. They didn't have any particularly unexpected/novel arguments, it was basically just constantly repeating the same bland things they've been saying all along about IP and fraud and convenience.

Hang on. If I'm following all this correctly, at that point the current head of staff had only held that role for less than a month. So the big demand here was that control over the domain name was transferred not to the community, or to some non-profit, but to some individual who'd seemingly been manoeuvred into place for the purpose of transferring that control to them. That certainly smells like a shady takeover attempt of some kind, even if the details are opaque.

Here's one for you on that topic from London: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56647128

Cities should start taxing the size of vehicles too if they're going to let people park on the street. Smart cars are a fantastic utility vehicle for example, but are not incentivised enough.
> they would hold floppy disks by sticking their fingers through the hole in the middle.

I bet that's a habit from 45rpm records...
I want to know if it is 240V split phase. A lot of houses use multiwire branch circuits so getting split phase power would be a Big Deal. If Ford puts a big gnarly inverter capable of this in the F150, then I'm going to be stoked.

But I need an HD truck, and it has to have enough range to tow, which means I'm not in the market for a Lightning. Dammit.
Imagine looking at this from the modern "therapeutic" perspective that aims to eliminate suffering -- rather than seeing it as integral part of nature and world around us. Alternatively: imagine being unhappy that life exists around us rather than being happy about it.
Excuse my mess but feel free to poke around:

Around here (semi-rural WI, US) it's not so much the terrain where you're going as what you need to haul. 4'x8' sheets of building materials are one that get me a lot; I recently had to cut a sheet of styrofoam in half in the parking lot of the home improvement store to get it to fit into my car. There's also pieces of equipment that won't fit in the trunk (boot), like lawn aerators, rototillers, sod cutters, and stump grinders. (They might fit in a van or CUV, but then you have to deal with gas fumes and dirtying/damaging the interior.) Dirt and compost could fit but would be a pain even with a tarp.

I see a lot of fashion trucks but most of them also get used for towing or hauling on the weekend, and a lot of that stuff wouldn't fit in a car and would be unsafe on a trailer. A lot of people around here also have motorboats that would be too big to safely pull with a car.
e.metaKey is the `⌘Command` key on Mac (used for the save shortcut), an entirely different key than the ones involved in the bug.

Also, Javascript doesn't have a logical xor operator, so trying to do that would potentially reduce readability.
It's interesting to consider what the effect of breaking up Walmart into constituent parts (either vertically or horizontally) would be. I'd be willing to bet it'd be a net-positive for the economy. The same is true for the majority of companies that large.
That will solve none of the problems that they are suing Apple for.
> I haven't seen consumer chargers that are designed to be installed outside

Most can be installed outside, specially if they are hardwired. Not sure if there are any rated to be plugged in outdoor power outlets.
> The end result is the exact same as our current system.

To say that is to ignore all the progress we've made!

In the current system, the elites can literally print free money. But in PoS, all they can do is try to double-spend or censor transactions.

This is far less power for the elites to possess.

Furthermore, there's now a clear path to getting into position as an "elite" — you just need money. You don't need political connections. You don't need to be born into the right family. It doesn't matter what color your skin is. It doesn't matter what nation you are a citizen of. It's now just about money. And what you can do with that money is very boring, and gives you a very small reward.
> The colloquial phrase put that in your pipe and smoke it and its variants mean accept or put up with what has been said or done, even if it is unwelcome.

Interesting. I always gave it a more sinister meaning along the lines of “eat that”. This is definitely more neutral.
The kind of ecosystem/business model that Apple has created is so fundamentally different from everything else that real world analogies just don't work. We should avoid using them in this debate.
Wouldn't using XOR trigger a save on Alt + S? Unless I'm missing something with why the meta portion should have the XOR here instead.
> The lack of engine means ... This gives designers more wriggle room for pedestrian protection too.

this is important. It is an option they DID IGNORE! for marketing.

The thing that kills pedestrians (both physically and preventing vision) is the high trunk. They could have lowered it since there is no 9L engine or whatever inside. But they decided to keep it for "frunk" marketing.
At least there were dozens of stores to be in.
The Soviet Union at least had the excuse of having a conscript army and America arming the Afghanis with MANPADS. America's failure probably had more to do with nobody having any clue what the actual objective was.
> I really hope Epic will release a gaming phone.

Maybe think through what you're proposing. Do you believe most of Epic's customers will buy two phones, charge two phones and carry two phones just so they can play their games, while also having access to first-class OS services like Google and Apple offer?

No.

It's a pretty painless process, but I save that option for the "big" hauls. If I didn't have the minivan and renting the Home Depot trucks was my only option, I'd probably organize my life around hauling less stuff.
You can heat and cook with wood. If so much tree material is falling on your property every year, and you're carting it elsewhere, you're just throwing away a useful resource.
Or they'll loudly whine and then follow their orders like Microsoft did back in the day.
I doubt the type of people that watch this stuff are really just prudes that can't handle porn.
I agree - the service Apple are offering for recurring payments is that of a payment processor. In a competitive market that role takes 2-3% at most. And that percentage has been falling year on year as new entrants have entered the market.

How does a company disrupt the Google/Apple phone duopoly? Even Microsoft spending hundreds of millions of dollars couldn't do it.
Everyone has struggled to control Afghanistan, including every Afghan government in history. Not going to hold it against them for doing better than most at the task, but not expecting control given the nature of the task and territory.
Ok, we've made that edit above. Thanks!
> This is permissible (on typical hardware)

Hardware doesn't define C semantics. C defines C semantics. I don't understand what your conditional example is trying to say, but you seem to assume that an uninitialized y is an actual uninitialized register or memory location. It's not.

>> A function marked _Noreturn returns.

> If written in C, the body of the function must include a return statement, and is thus a compile time error.

It might contain a return statement that is never reached because the function goes into an infinite loop or exits/aborts the program or does a longjmp.

I think it's clear that by now the 2nd law always wins. Always.
No-code is is limited.

I've read about an hospital management system implemented by low-code. So if it can be useful to that complexity levels, maybe the problem isn't technical, but more about marketing, control over the platform, or just general resistance by software developers.

So i wonder, how long do those shifts towards a much higher productivity platform take in the software industry ?
I wasn't using an analogy. I was literally talking about: if this is a law, how it'll ACTUALLY impact every business.

If you think what Apple has created is different, again, define it. Let's see how it's fundamentally different and where the line is.

In some ways I would honestly love to get my door buzzed by these people so I could tell them to get off my property lest I call the actual police to remove them.

(But such is my privilege that I would likely be pretty safe and unafraid in such an encounter.)

Putting aside this particular company, I do think that there may be a market for a service that would provide documented accountable security responses for situations where subscribers have a legitimate hesitancy for ethical reasons to call public emergency services that have a history of racism or disproportionate violence. I'm not going to call my local PD for a noise complaint I can't handle because I worry that they're going to kill a person or their dog and I don't want that on my conscience.
I am enjoying the same experience.

My day at work is collecting information, and then during walks and dinner, while watching sports, before falling asleep, it's all daydreaming about work.

This may sound like a bummer to some people, but I couldn't really think of a better way to spend my day than by playing a business strategy sim in my head.

I also recognize the advantages of healthful, hygienic habits.
Is there a very clear explanation of who gets charged & who doesn't?

From what I understand places like Amazon don't get charged for in app purchases, but Audible (owned by Amazon) would & so they don't offer buying books.

I assume finance stock/crypto/etc apps don't get charged.

I've heard that food & drink, taxi services, & house rentals don't get charged.

-- I could be mistaken about many of these above.

All the services that I rely upon on my Android phone are free 3rd party apps. Firefox, Banking, Authentication, Calendar

So if the "Epic Phone" had the ability to install and run APKs, that'd be good enough.
I'm confused, don't we allow this level of control with video game consoles? (Heck Sony and Microsoft also take 30% cuts)

What's the difference other than form factor?
you're not wrong.
There's a lot of debate and fine tuning of what should be allowed regarding things like the size of apple's cut, side loading or allowing a 3rd party appstore but it's painfully clear to me that banning app developers from even mentioning an alternate payment method is very anti-consumer.

After listening to about 10 clips your point becomes abundantly clear.

One speaker, who sounded like they were from the mid-west United States, was dropping the S off words in a couple clips. I wasn't sure if it was misreads or some accent I'd never heard.

Another speaker, with a thick accent that sounded European, sounded out all the vowels in circuit. Had I not had the line being read, I don't think I'd have understood the word.

I heard a speaker with an Indian accent who added a preposition to the sentence that was inconsequential but incorrect none the less.

I hear these random prepositions added as flourishes frequently with some Indian coworkers, does anyone know the a reason? It's kind of like how American's interject "Umm..." or drop prepositions (e.g. "Are you done your meal?") and I almost didn't pick up on it. For that matter where did the American habit of dropping prepositions come from? It seems like it's people in the North East primarily.
Depends how you define a network outage. One of my transatlantic circuits has been a bit ropey - had a 2 second outage on it a couple of nights ago, does that count as a network outage?

If a user has a local network problem, that's not a loss in the service. If multiple users do that's an issue. My home broadband went out for 3 minutes at 23:33:43 GMT on May 13th, but then I wouldn't run a service needing 24/7 on my home broadband.

That exists, and it's called the police. If your neighbor is violating noise ordinances, they'll get ticketed. If they're not, perhaps they're violating building rules, and can be fined by the building management. If still not, then you unfortunately just live in a shitty building, and hiring a thug to harass your neighbor (regardless of how loud they're being) sounds like a pretty disgusting (and legally risky) thing to do.

Indeed. I think the defining feature of a small pickup is the ability of an averaged height person to be able to reach over the sides and grab something from the bed of the truck. All of the current trucks on the market you can barely even see in to the bed. It makes it super hard to load the bed without actually being in it. Trucks today have become so much more vanity symbols than anything else.
Hmm, sounds like Amazon's ecosystem, which has hardly been a competitive success.

Good, now maybe Tesla will offer that too. Last I checked they didn't because of warranty concerns on the battery. They don't want you using the vehicle to arbitrage electricity prices. Which is probably not worth the wear anyway. But as an emergency backup or place to store surplus solar energy - now that's useful.
The crypto crash, illustrated by the magic of chart crime
It sounds like the current $20 offering is to have a remote employee monitoring you when you walk home alone, or the like. The contemplated new service, Protect, is not currently available to the public, and there's nothing indicating it would be $20/mo.

My guess is there will be tiers based on anticipated usage, like AAA. Want X number of monthly reports? That costs $Y. If you want 2X the reports and expedited response time, it costs $2Y.
Obviously there’s a spectrum of scenarios.

In the 80s and 90s breaking up AT&T local loop unbundling made a huge positive change in telco in the us.

Requiring the power company to rent pole space has a positive benefit.

I think the App Store is more like a utility pole than a Walmart. Forcing Apple to unbundle the infrastructure of delivery, payment and signing would allow for competitive forces and innovation.

The AppStore is all built around PKI. My company already operates an internal enterprise store — the metaphor exists. It would be pretty straightforward to evolve it into something different and arguably better.
I suspect it reinforces the stereotype that women who enter "nerdy" spaces like gaming are more interested in attracting the attention of men, than actually engaging with gaming. It plays into the trope of a "gamer girl that sucks at games, but succeeds because she's hot". This leads to women's abilities being doubted, and their intentions often mistaken.

To be clear, there's nothing wrong with doing suggestive cosplay or things like that. I also doubt that the average person is going to watch Amouranth, and then immediately assume that all the women interested in gaming are curating the same kind of appeal - this kind of influence is more subtle than that. But I do believe that the juxtaposition of male streamers' content, and many of the most popular women's content likely fosters these stereotypes.

I was hoping you'd reply because I thought about this quite a lot today! Basically, I like to DJ/perform music vs make music, and so for me, not being a musician, the OP-Z limits me less, I can get more done and faster, especially in the more recent firmware versions that enable you to swap out a lot of preinstalled sound/function with custom. i suppose if you're looking to make music, OP-1 is considerably less limiting. However, I do think a lot of the recent OP-Z update makes it an all around more useful device than the OP-1

Even on PC, where there's plenty of store competition, the only way to get much lower than 30% seems to be to seriously cut corners - Epic's own store famously lacks standard features like a shopping card, and people have had problems with buying multiple games in succession seperately triggering anti-fraud measures that stop them from doing so, so they're not exactly doing great even at the payment processing part. And they're quite openly subsidising that from their Fortnite profits as well in many ways.
