This is my take on what Tim Cook should have answered

> If customers really value real, safe drugs, even if there's multiple drug suppliers (some offering fake, unsafe drugs), people should still go to a pharmacy?

That shouldn't be Apple problem, we have governments for that.

> Will people not be able to distinguish between safe drugs and fake unsafe drugs

That shouldn't be our concern, we as the supplier of the market place should only worry about abiding to the law and report those that don't when they use our system

If they don't use our system, it shouldn't be our responsibility.

But Tim Cook is not on trial for selling illegal drugs, he's trying to make Apple look like the only possible guardian of user's safety.
Because it's in Apple interests, not because it's best for users (I mean that Tim Cook can't possibly know if Epic store would be less safe than theirs, he - admittedly - never made that experiment)
Having a classic vehicle in Germany, a 1982 V8 Range Rover, I can elaborate on that. There are no exceptions for hobby or classic cars. Quite the opposite, in case you want the tax exemption and (limited annual millage) insurance benefits, the TÜV is quite strict before handing out the relevant certification (Paragraph 21 if memory serves well). Statistics show that these kind of cars have overall less defects during examination than others. I guess because enthusiasts take good care of their hobby cars, I certainly do. More so than our second, now rather redundant, daily driver.

And being easy to work on, Trabis are thankful hobbyist cars.

> My point is, none of it is repair.

So your logic is: if a part is replaced, the thing isn't actually repaired.

> It's blindly replacing parts

Blindly? Really? Every repair I've had done - even the ones where the tech doesn't speak the same fucking language as me - have clearly identified what's at fault, and told me what's being done. Hardly seems "blind".

If the genuine parts cost the same, why are you surprised the labour costs the same?

It's a bit convoluted, but you can get the CalDAV URLs for your calendars which then work just fine with any CalDAV client (including those on Android). When googling "iCloud caldav" detailed instructions are the first result.
So how do you feel about consoles? Because if they don’t get a cut they don’t survive. I can’t see how you can set a legal precedent against Apple that doesn’t apply to Sony/MS/Nintendo as well.

Which is pretty poor. I'd be interesting to see what twitter, tiktok and snap do with similar data.

Although people seem pretty chilled with other companies doing it. We already know google indexes by location. That's how they do the real time busyness graphs.
Which was a failure, because other than Valve and a couple of gamers, no one cares.
It's probably a calculated gambit, they bet the pilot would budge and follow the fighter.

If the pilot didn't I doubt they'd actually shoot the plane down, but that's a bet that they took and won. The pilot obviously chose the safer option for himself and almost everyone onboard.
Interesting that they mention observation stations on the far side of the Moon, when these satellites would presumably disrupt certain observations. Obviously the level of interference will be much much less than on Earth or even Earth orbit. But for really pristine observation it seems the Lagrange points are better candidates.

In any case pretty excited about this. Having it run by the EU will hopefully make it more of an equal access than if it was run by the US or China.
Also, something that put me off about him is that he always assumes that Apple is doing this because they are nefarious, so he sometimes fails to see the bigger picture.

If I was a big company for example, protecting the chip I may have helped design from being used in other products is boilerplate legal agreement. I don't have an evil motive or want to stop repair and screw Louis, it's just one of the default things I throw in my legal agreements so Huawei doesn't make their Matebooks or whatever with the same chip I helped improve.

Louis always assumes Apple hates repair and is fighting actively against him but doesn't take a look to see some of the broader reasons why. He doesn't make a video explaining, for example, some of the more logical less-diabolical reasons Apple might do something.

This doesn't mean you have to agree with Apple. I just think Louis would be far better off if he just gave some logical reasons why Apple might have done something and tried to rebut those instead of assuming Apple is evil, because that's an easy straw-man to fight.
Filter and drill down by page categories. You search for something and get 1000 blogs, 10000 commercial pages, 20 manual pages, 250 forums, 200 news websites, etc, and you can narrow down only to forums, and then drill further based on some other category. I'd love to be able to filter out listicles or content farm stuff entirely from my searches for example, and I think they're easy enough to identify to do that.

Other things could be date, length, number of ads. A consumer focused search engine could even let you filter out pages that use javascript, maybe specific libraries, cookies, etc.

It would be like one of those Tableau demos, but looking for websites.

Regarding rollback, there's an interesting technique that I stumbled upon:

Instead of serializing individual objects, you serialize all the memory relevant to the gameplay by using a custom memory allocator whenever the gameplay related code runs. This custom memory allocator is designed to allow taking fast memory snapshots, and supports restoring memory snapshots.

This allows rollbacking any code, including in my case rollbacking user-submitted Lua scripts.

> Same here -- every app would turn free, and charge to unlock features within using their own payment mechanism.

Not necessarily. Apple would likely be unable to extract the rents it currently does, but if a dev has the choice of paying a 5% fee using an rarely-used payment system, or paying a 15% fee using a payment system that most users already have set up and that has very little friction, the latter is likely more profitable.

Last time I checked, these brands are more expensive in Germany than the US. They are even cheaper in other EU countries, to the point exporting the papers to have them registered in a third EU country is a thing. These re-imports are usually a good deal.
Google has grown from 75k to 150k people in the last three years?
I don't understand. Is Apple holding a gun to your head if you take it to an unauthorised repairer?
>but it seems like there's at least some indication of how she feels about it.

This is not true. The judge's job is to follow pertinent line of inquiries to the case and get responses from the plaintiff and defense. Not pursuing a line of questioning might indicate that the questions were already resolved in briefs, and are therefore not needed in open court. Open court is a very, very small part of these trials, so trying to get a read on what a judge thinks based on questions in open court is spurious at best.
> If you want to not hate your life building a real-time multiplayer game, fully embrace data oriented design.

I'd say if you want to not hate you life building any software, start with the data/schema/et. al. Before you open Visual Studio, open Excel and conference in your business stakeholders for a few design sessions.

We recently started down a "data-driven" path with our B2B application. We went from ~90% of the application being code-based to ~95% of the application being configuration-driven in a matter of months. We can bootstrap an entire customer's setup by doing some simple JSON copypasta now.

The best general model I have found so far would be to declare a global Domain type, and then put a List<T>/T of each constituent domain type within it. No nesting of complex types (reference types) should be permitted. All properties in the domain model types can map cleanly to/from SQL tables. The overall schema should be in 3NF/BCNF/DKNF. Relation types will be required. You can trivially serialize instances of the Domain type for whatever purpose. Each serialized copy of the Domain type can be thought of as a deterministic snapshot of all state, assuming you did everything correctly elsewhere.

Use of language features such as LINQ can make this approach almost fun to work with. A clean, well-managed schema is the most powerful tool in your box when dealing with complex problem domains.
That is pretty mind-blowing, awesome work there.
True, but we probably don't want to remove the ability to receive calls just because users might receive a scam call or the browser just because it can be used to trick someone to give their information. It's the same with apps, especially when Apple bans more than just apps with malware.
It's important to understand that heavy unhosted wallet regulation in conjunction with PoS transition pretty much ruins cryptocurrency in the US. People will be forced to keep their coins on exchanges and they will not have enough coins to stake but the exchanges will stake from their wallets and claim the rewards for themselves. Then they can use the coins gained to manipulate the markets how they wish collecting fees and more coins from their clients further centralizing control.
This. He always assumes Apple is evil, Apple is screwing repair because they like screwing repair. Most companies aren't like that - companies are made of engineers, and do they like fighting repair for the sake of fighting repair? He never addresses what ulterior motives there may be.

This might actually be why he complains he's been in many legislatures, testified, and they haven't gone further. The lack of willingness to give some perspective from Apple's side hurts his credibility.
Fortunately, about a year ago, I swapped all my profile info with random info a photos of some various randos who share my name.

Yes autocomplete for query is something we will be working on in near future.
Definitely that and not to avoid the potential for circumventing their lock-in. If Apple were that obsessed with performance, their LLVM backends wouldn't be closed source.
If a major app moves to a different App Store, people will install the second (and third, and fourth, etc.) No one will say “oh, well, I want Instagram because all my friends have it but I’m not going to install Facebook’s store to get it because I want to keep my phone secure.”

The problem is that security and privacy benefits are somewhat intangible and hidden, so they are not enough to convince people to weight them heavily - this is the same reason why people download random software off the net and why the web is such a mess of trackers.

Apple’s approach tries to remove the need for users to think about the issue at all. Of course, it has downsides as well, but don’t underestimate what the ecosystem would be giving up once the door is opened to multiple stores.
Epic is a great example. Their own store lists alternative stores on the Epic store, like itch.io. But they don't take a cut of games bought from those stores. Once you launch itch, you're in itch.
Naive Rollups
We would have seen evidence of ADE by now. From convalescent plasma to naturally re-exposed and reinfected to the individuals vaccinated almost a year ago now.

And the vaccines target spike because there were concerns about ADE with vaccines against the SARS-CoV-1 nucleocapsid protein, but not spike.

Pfizer stimulates both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells responses:

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.17.20140533v...

And the stuff in there about IL-4 and IL-5 and "the absence of a potentially deleterious TH2 immune response" is all about "no signs of ADE".
It sounds like you are saying this issue is irrelevant to the App Store.

So how can it reflect badly on their case?

The way it reflects well, is to notice that this is a small hole in their privacy measures which can easily be fixed, and the only reason we are talking about it is that for the most part their privacy controls work well. I.e. it demonstrates their seriousness about privacy.

Funny. I think it's important to understand the meta story.

Portfolios for employers. Verify before you hire
I do not understand how or why people prefer spending time listening or watching people talk to each other. Is it not much quicker to read transcripts? And why would I want all the noise that happens in the conversation? Reading a summary of the meat and pickles is far more efficient.

“YouTube culture” puzzles me. I love it for instructional videos though.
It is tricky. Most people are pretty trusting of things they don’t understand. But a world where you walk into a cafe and 80% of the devices around you are malevolent is worse than one where only 5% are malevolent. I would like root on all my devices and also I would like to be able to run apps that want more permissions than I want them to have and they just get fake data when they call get location or whatever. But I don’t want to have to security assess all the apps I might like. To be sure mostly my apps are like the browser, the like doe reader, and find my iPhone. But I do have a weakness for solitaire and free flow and similar games. It seems very hard to get the open source versions of these and the other ones seem to display questionable ethics and to be ad revenue driven (where as I would happily pay a bit for new levels etc).
No thank you. This "argument" is precisely where anti-science people come from.

You have to listen to the science, and also use the common sense that "this is as far as we know" and that knowledge today may change tomorrow.

Two comments below you use this "argument" to ask "evidence" for evolution and climate change. Big red flag.
For example:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/1/26/iran-blocks-signal-...

Q: Why would Iran block Signal but not WhatsApp if they actually use the exact same protocol?
A: Because Facebook has cut a deal with the regime to give them access to things they could not get access to with Signal

I suppose it could be that blocking WhatsApp would cause too much disruption, so the Iranian regime tolerates it for now, but I put much more weight on Facebook just rolling over.

There are other instances of WhatsApp being allowed and other allegedly as-secure platforms being banned. It could be chance or network effects, but my guess is that Facebook has built in tools to comply with those regimes' spying demands. Perhaps they even push locale-specific versions of the app.
I just checked and my (unfinished) profile is still not visible. Weirdly, it says that it's not visible for the next 12 months, but I'm pretty sure it's been more than 12 months since I last logged in.

It also says my profile is not shareable yet, so maybe I just got lucky in that I bailed early. I did one quiz out of curiosity, and then locked down my account as much as possible after I found out a little more about the company's reputation and track record.

So I think that "next 12 months" thing is just a bug, and a user not finishing their profile is somehow an edge case that they didn't plan for. That's some pretty bad product work, but it fits the rest of the vibe the company gives off.
- Drop official relations to the regime in any capacity. Diplomatic, economic, sports. Exclude it from membership in any organization where Russia has no veto right.

- Recognize Tsikhanouskaya government as interim government in exile. Insist that this government is the official venue for any engagement (exports, imports, sport event participation).

- Ban all regime officials in all branches from entry.
However, if you take a look, Apple does perhaps the least planned obsolescence of any tech company, period. iOS updates are now going, like, 6+ years back on phones while Android flagships were lucky to get 2 years or any at all, for example.
The first link covers cases most simply described as "it needs to be fast, as fast as possible, but things won't go wrong if there's a random 8msec delay".

Then there's "things will go wrong if there's a random 8msec delay".

Then there's "people will die and/or property will be destroyed if there's a random 8msec delay".

I was referring only to the last two. And yes, that means no malloc.

What bothers me increasingly is how many name brands are NOT on Amazon. The accessory market across the board has become companies I've never heard of, or companies also owned by Amazon. Increasingly, it feels like Amazon is becoming one giant MicroCenter. I do hope virtual sales people don't chase me wanting to add their barcode to my amazon cart.
They are doing their damndest to make it almost impossible to find someone that can. They want my only options to be a) pay their ridiculous repair fees because there is no other option that can do it for less, or b) just outright buy another macbook because they want to sell more computers.
Hmmm.. Apple makes the phones that run only Apple's OS. Apple's OS runs apps that others create, but only Apple controls (they can dis-approve of you at any time, and can change the rules at any time). Despite paying fees and sharing revenue with Apple, that developer cannot create any other revenue for themself without also paying-off Apple.

If this isn't a monopoly, then what the hell are antitrust laws for?

WolframAlpha - https://www.wolframalpha.com/examples/
The reason why distributed trust is never going to work is because authority doesn’t exist without the threat of violence.

We’ve done a lot of interesting things in terms of POCs in the public sector over the last decade, and we’ve yet to find a way for blockchain to have a real world impact. In countries with high amount of trust in the public sector and low levels of corruption, it’s a burdensome, inefficient and expensive way to handle trust. In countries with high corruption and no trust, the smart contract doesn’t change the fact that a bunch of people with guns can still just take your land and nobody is going to come after them.

It’s sort of similar with money. The only real appliance or Bitcoin and crypto currencies is for criminal enterprises to move and exchange money. The thing about that is that these organisations have as much of an authority or violence as some nation states.

Considering Bitcoin can’t control where you use it, or how you turn it into real money, it’s really got not authority.
Wow something like this should be ruthlessly stamped out by the international community.
