Except now there isn’t just 1 inspector, but many. And you have to figure out which you trust.

Now imagine there’s a very popular restaurant, but it uses an inspector you don’t know if you trust. But you want to eat the food because all your friends are already there… so you’ll go.

This is exactly what would happen— various companies once they reach a certain size will just want to have their own store because either it makes them more money or they have less restrictions. Just look at Facebook and the new 14.5 privacy features that are cutting into their ability to collect data. If you let FB the chance to pull out, they’d do it in a heartbeat knowing they could easily force everyone to install their App Store… which would have 0 privacy restrictions and far less oversight (just look at the Cambridge Analytica scandal for how FB might run an App Store).

Given Apple mostly makes money selling hardware, they’re the best incentivized to protect its user base.

There is no such thing as "highly illegal" international law... international law is just a set of conventions, and are enforced by each nation choosing what to do about the 'violation'. There aren't a set of prescribed penalties, and if there were, there is no one to enforce them.
That would be such a big hurdle for the average user. The risk is low and the subject(blog) makes this a low target.
The MIG was no doubt there to ensure the plane obeyed air traffic control

It's not unheard of for military jets to escort civilian planes to an airport, for example

My understanding is plants are fairly radiation resistant compared to animals... A small fault in the leaf of a plant just kills that leaf, but a small fault in your heart kills you...

If that's the case, I'd be a little worried even being in a plane flying over that garden...
Without app developers iOS device sales would be a lot lower. it's a symbiotic relationship.

The problem is Apple has greater negotiating power, because they don't need any one developer and it is difficult for all the app developers to organize to negotiate together. But imagine if they did organize, and threatened to remove their apps from the app store unless Apple gave them more favorable terms.
Simple answer: I would count violent purges and death camps, mass executions, deliberate impositions of famine, deaths due to mass confiscation of property, gulag deaths, etc. Those are active killings of people.

Wasn’t the Bolivian plane the President’s which meant it was entitled to additional diplomatic protections and couldn’t be required to stop at all? Hence the various governments refusal to allow them into specific airspace so they’d run out of fuel and be forced to stop without being ordered to? It seems like the same goal and the same end result just that it required a little more finesse in their malicious compliance with international treaties.

I had an Italian farmer explain the Italian attitude to rules and regulations 10ish years ago. His view was that breaking rules and regulations was a national pastime and seeing what you could get away with was part the fun.

That’s how he explained the popularity of Silvio Berlusconi too - “of course the guy is a cheat and a fraud, but he is cheating for us now”.

I’m unsure if these views were in any way representative but I found them interesting.
no. this falls apart because there are innumerable i justices in the world. i am silent on almost all of them. that does not mean i support the status quo
Towards that end does anyone know if there any ATX power supplies that will stream out their sensor info over a serial port or something?

It'd be nice to have power monitoring on that side of the mainboard's power regulators and caps, to pick up marginal issues before they get filtered out, and the power supplies these days will have a little ucontroller with all that information anyway without the mainboard having to duplicate that monitoring circuitry in the right place.

For what's such an important piece of a computer there's so little introspection for data while in use that has to be being collected regardless. Yeah, you can always hook up a oscope or what have you, but catching it in the act of being marginal early on would have saved me more hours in my life than I'd like to admit.

> Be it god or a computer simulation, we then wonder how those things came to be. Ergo, more complexity that does not resolve our understanding of the world.

Not necessarily. It could totally explain or universe but leave us clueless as to what lies beyond. To be fair, I expect we'll never be able to answer what lies beyond - so that's fine.

But be it a god or a computer simulation, it needs to make testable, falsifiable predictions to better or understanding of the natural world. Otherwise, true or false, it's useless to us.
"Not to mention the actual damage politically-corrupted courts do to the people and economy in Poland."

Who voted them in? If you say that the people voted them in, it's painful, but it is the politics of the region. One of the terrifying parts of democracy is that the people have the right to vote for their leaders, including leaders who will actively undermine their own democracy, and they can be content with that because that's what they wanted. In which case, democracy has done what the people wanted, by ruining democracy.

It's kind of like Jury Nullification, where Juries do not strictly need to vote on the merits of whether a person is guilty or innocent, but can vote against the law and know the law can't punish jurors for a "wrong judgement". Judges hate that loophole but know it's a necessary part of democracy. Similarly, the ability of a democratic people to vote to end democracy is democracy working even though it is also an awful necessary loophole.

And if you say that we must take effort to prevent a democratic people, legally speaking, from democratically voting to end democracy, you are now technically anti-democratic. That's a weird place to be.

> Consensus minus one, on the other hand, is another way of saying 'Impossible'.

No it isn't. Some 30% of decisions are made unanimously in scotus, and this is hardly an outlier. Requiring unanimous consent makes things way slower, yes, but it doesn't prevent them. Not all organizational changes need to be controversial. Several conservative programming languages did well by requiring unanimity in initial years - only adding what all could agree was good. It only requires those members to exercise good judgement.
And Erlang syntax is very Prolog-y.

The two big differences are that Belarus actually forced the plane to land (the Bolivian one could have just gone back) and that this was a plane full of civilian passengers, not a diplomatic jet.
Was on a flight from Frankfurt to SEA about 2 years back, someone thought they were having a heart attack. Plane was about even between SEA and YVR, we took the most direct route to the runway and terminal I've ever taken coming into SEA over 200 flights. Especially since they kicked a plane coming in before us to the international terminal.

Other interesting tidbit, the person claimed to be fine about 30 minutes later after talking to 2 doctors. But the ground crew said they required people to go to the hospital now for a full eval.
While lots of places offer free shipping, it's harder to find sites that offer free next day shipping (or offer same-day shipping). And harder still to find a site where you can by a cooking pan and a computer motherboard in the same purchase as well as buy your weekly groceries and have them delivered later today. Amazon wins through convenience.

Hi folks - I'm a PM at Triplebyte who recently inherited this part of our site.

You're absolutely right that this is a dark pattern, but it's not a current one - it's the echo of the dark pattern we screwed up on last year. If you hid your profile at the time, prior to last year's thread and our response to it, the maximum duration was one year (and yes, this was a really terrible idea among the other really-terrible-ideas that were called out at the time). But we changed that last year during our internal response. Hiding your profile indefinitely on our current site does in fact hide it indefinitely, and has ever since it was added as an option. (see https://imgur.com/n5e4CMB - and just to be clear this is my personal prod-testing account, not an actual person whose profile I screenshotted)

What happened here is that if you had hidden your profile just before we added the indefinite option, you were caught by the old dark pattern, which only let you hide it for up to a year. (And so, a year later, we're correctly informing you that it is now visible again.) We fixed the site at the time so that no one would newly be caught in this pattern, but what we failed to do was retroactively change the setting for people who'd selected 'one year' prior to that point.

This was a genuine oversight, and we'll fix it. I need to speak to our engineering team to make sure we can actually do so, but my immediate plan is to effectively just make the indefinite hiding retroactive by assuming anyone who set it to the max last year wanted that. In any case, it will get fixed one way or another - I was as pissed as anyone here by last year's events and have no intention of leaving y'all high and dry.
Thanks! Very happy so far with how it's going. The app is written in Rails, and I use Postgres/Redis for the data and memcached for a lot of caching. Everything is hosted in a Kubernetes cluster than I manage entirely myself. Ask away if you would like to know more :)
> Yes, but in monopoly law, the rules haven't changed from the perspective that Apple hasn't raised prices. Apple can lower them all they want, but if they raise them when they got their monopoly status so as to take advantage of their market, that would be illegal.

Once again you're wrong and you should really stop commenting on business law. There are a wide range of legal precedents that have bearing here and these specific dealings could absolutely be ruled as anticompetitive in court.
I’m stealing that line. It feels like the Internet has inspired a subset of people to play for that team and it’s so confusing as to why. I am trying to always “assume good intentions” as a rule now; I think it’s just deep denial about the world we live in and how free we really are.
Any Swedes here should definitely check out the Motornörd episode with the Trabant[1].

> what's the relation to bugs in logging and analytics?

I'm not sure what you mean. Software has bugs, data has bugs, etc. To be able to fix a bug and rerun a solution is important in all areas of software, it has nothing to do with logs or analytics (but data and data model type questions usually are important to those domains).

> also, is there a good resource on how to backfill?

Not really, because "backfill" means something different to everyone that holds data. Starting with what questions to ask, I would ask "What do we do if a lot of our data shows up incorrect" and "What do we do if lots of our data goes missing", and solving problems in an individual data stack that arise from those questions.

As an example, at a previous job our ETL/ELT system was all started with a file showing up in an S3 bucket. The code that ingested the contents of those files occasionally had bugs that required reingesting of all data that was processed by that version of the code. Having tools to identify (at the data level) what data was affected by this bug, and then being able to delete that data from a datastore and reingest only those S3 files with a newer version of the ingestion code made these types of bugs much easier to manage over time.

Yeah I think it would be a little overkill. The unique email addresses are almost impossible to guess so you just need to make sure you don't share them with anyone.
It was there to force the pilot. Last I checked, a pilot has final authority on a plane's heading and destination, not air traffic control.
The fighter jet was there to intercept. All commercial pilots are trained to follow standard procedures when intercepted. Which comes down to: 1. Let ATC know, 2. Establish radio communication or use standard signals if unable, 3. Follow directions by the intercepting plane instead of ATC.

The radio words to use are standardised so they even work in case one side doesn't speak English. The signals are also very simple (rock wings, certain turns, gear up/down).

No need to think about being shot down or not, no need to scare, any commercial flight being intercepted would follow directions.
Judging by their non-degraded desktop site experience, thank god we have the app. Honestly, Reddit is one of those sites that make me think the world has collectively forgotten how to make a sane site. It takes seconds to load, and almost everything you go means looking at animated placeholders for a time, until something happens.

I have a workstation that deals with 3D rendering and huge Photoshop files, or compiling sizable projects with no problem, and my CPU is still pegged to 100% when I browse Reddit.

I shudder at the thought of those same people being in charge of my mobile experience. I don't feel like having to replace my phone battery every 3 months, thanks.

Exactly correct.

Having active elements activate immediately is a good choice for simple examples like the one shown. For larger constructions, you typically want to have built the whole thing before starting it up.
Totally agree, Seasonic's fanless line is awesome.
This was the echo of old bad decisions, not a new one. It wasn't intentional on our part, and we're working on a fix. (See my top level comment for more detail on what happened.)
I'd rather go the other way around and make EU more like US (in organization, not in approach to solving things).
In the US, rewards are usually 1-2% on most credit cards, and up to 5% for certain purchase categories on a few credit cards. These rewards are funded by interest income, annual fees, penalty fees, and interchange fees. Interchange fees are typically between 1.3% and 3.5%: https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/research/average-credit-card...

The Durbin amendment allows merchants to offer lower prices to customers who choose a payment option that incurs lower fees (such as cash or debit card) at the point of sale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durbin_amendment

Compare this to Apple, which takes a 30% cut. Developers must raise their prices by 42.9% to compensate for that 30% cut. Apple does not allow developers to offer alternative payment options for most categories of in-app purchases.

For a long time, the standard rate for payment processing for small businesses has been 2.9% + $0.30 for credit cards. Larger businesses with higher transaction volumes are able to negotiate lower rates. If Apple allows developers to offer payment processing options that take smaller cuts, and allows developers to offer lower prices when customers choose those options, I'm certain that most developers and customers would prefer the third-party payment processors.

Ask HN: Best self-hosted CI solution?
What is the best software for running a self-hosted CI system? What are you currently using?

At my company (100 engineers, 1000 CI pipelines) we use GoCD as of now, but that seems to be no longer maintained and is lacking some important features. Jenkins seems to be the go-to solution, has support for everything via plugins, but I have only heard bad things about it. Is that still true?

I'm looking for a self-hosted solution because we do a lot of custom magic with docker that requires root access on the builders and access to various services in our intranet.
Exactly! :-)

The TLDR here is that one of last year's dark patterns was that you could only hide your profile for up to a year. We changed that immediately after last year's thread, and you can now hide it indefinitely, but we didn't retroactively apply that fix (which we'll do now). See top-level comment for more details.

> If you want to see a POV test drive in a Trabant, here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzEPWttWVlk

One thing to note is that this is a Trabant 1.1 not a 601. The 1.1 was produced only from 1990 to 1991 and had a four-stroke VW engine (produced under license from VW). So the sound in the video is not the one typical two-stroke engine of the standard 601. The appearance of the car is very similar to the 601, though.
