> So the solution is to force majority of the population to use Apple store, to protect minority of the population who aren't tech savvy?

You could always get an android.

I realise that this can come off as silly, but what, id not the walled garden differentiate the two systems? If you tear those walls down, you’re basically using a really expensive android device with all the tracking and malware that includes.

I do think the courts should force Apple to open up. Closed systems are evil, even though they are very nice to use. I just hope they do it in such a way that it’s optional and has no effect on the rest of us.
I'll bet the following happened, which Louis is actively fighting against...

1) you didn't get your data back if it was a hard drive issue

2) the service center replaced an entire part, not a .50cent component, and may have charged you for the full part.

3) it was not really authorized, because the third party authorized service center is new within 18months, and you can only replace screens and in few cases, batteries.

With today's devices, it's really just about getting your data back. If the machine can be repaired enough for even 15min with just a simple popped capacitor change, that's enough to rescue your latest photos, and that's what Louis is fighting for. While publishing schematics would be a bonus, the big thing is don't strongarm manufacturers with legal constraints so they can't sell that 50 cent part to other parties so repair shops/individuals can get those 15min.
> Mental gymnastic you are doing there.

Quite contrary, I'm asking for the basis and the motive of denying one specific flight with one specific individual on board a routine procedure of air travel, something that was allowed to hundreds of other flights on that same day. "landing" vs "airspace" is a non-essential detail here, and depending on the context of a situation, either could be denied to achieve the desired goal. I'm asking about the motives of the goal.
I wish that people who abandon their early access games would always release the source code for people who are passionate about the project.

For example, objects in space seems to have a lot of potential. And as a person who bought the game it sucks to see that the development was stopped.

Paying more just means you fill your vacancy at the expense of another firm who has their employee poached. The net effect is that one company is still vulnerable.
I generally agree but it's more accurate to classify "intellectual property" as a completely different concept than "property rights".
capitalism, once the models are cheap enough to develop, the models will be made to work on the whole distribution of users. It's the same story for, pharmaceutical research, lots of drugs that work for white people are ineffective or else for black people.
If you use iCloud photos, yes. Anyone with access to all your photos can track you.

That’s why I back up mine to a NAS in my house and have that send encrypted backups off-site.
Also, Apple is conflating AppStore with ContentFilter. They are separate things which can be installed separately depending on the user's wishes.
Even if it was real, the distance from destination was nearly the same as from Minsk. There was no reason to divert the plane.

Sadly, both NewEgg and BestBuy are "marketplaces" now, and amazon sellers have set up shop there too. They're smaller, so I hope there's a little better QA, but I'm not optimistic for their future
The topic is opening up the app store, allowing developers to implement their own payments, and someone asked: "where is the evidence that letting developers choose how to process payments leads to rampant fraud?"

Well, Android is open to sideloading and less "walled" and ends up with 50 times more malware than IOS. That's what "that article" is about.

If someone connects the dots, they'll see that (a) opening up iOS similarly will lead to similar levels of malware, (b) letting developers have their own payment systems in such an environment would just lead to tons of that malware getting people's credit card details, charging for BS, and so on.
It's sad that USA has been seen as the international beacon for freedom and the defender of democracy for so many international struggles but USA has abdicated this role after it was abused by greed and the CIA so many times. Now isolationist voices have gained power domestically. We could have been the super heroes for freedom and democracy that the world needed. Being viewed that way was a big part of our super power's soft power and our loss of it is a big win for China and Russia.
I'd phrase it slightly differently. We can and should fix things in response to CI failures. The problem is more so the cost/value trade off for developers. The lower the perceived value is, the more good will that will be lost with developers for having to do another iteration to fix them. Integrating these into the developers workflow as early as possible, like rustfmt or gofmt, lowers the cost and developers are less likely to have a problem with it.

At this point, the main value of having something in CI is either for the reviewers to give them a sense of things, like coverage or to help enforce people are using those tools, which means it should ail CI.
However, what makes it even blurrier is that, in the US, being a monopoly (despite what you may have heard) is actually NOT illegal. What is illegal is the monopoly using its monopoly power to perpetuate its monopoly power.

However, historically, this was almost always because the monopoly did something like change the rules to benefit themselves after they became a monopoly. From the law's perspective, Apple didn't do anything like that. Apple didn't raise the commission to, say, 50%. Apple hasn't changed the rules since, like, 2009 before they had the theoretical "monopoly" status. This makes proving an illegal monopoly case against Apple (because monopolies are not intrinsically illegal) more difficult.
It’s interesting to read Greenpeace and other environmental groups’ writings to see what they are objecting to.

It seems they are primarily concerned about two types of issue; one is why I’d call “safety”: gene transfer/escape into wild species, unintended ecological consequences, human safety of consuming GM plants. Tho other group is around “licensing”: essentially a deep concern about going down a path where plant seeds are licensed instead of bought, and all the “Monsanto is evil” concerns.

I think on the safety point there is some FUD about what kind of gene transfer is actually biologically possible, but you can make a more general rebuttal that selective breeding has the same risks, it’s just harder to get positive changes into your genotype. Maybe Greenpeace would argue that we’re already endangering the biosphere a bit with selective breeding, and going any faster would dramatically increase the danger.

On the licensing point, I’m very sympathetic, but I think that is an argument for IP law reform or public investment in GM, not an argument against GM itself. But of course if you believe the safety concerns then you don’t want public or private research to happen because you think it’s prima facie harmful.

Same here. 100% generic clickbait crap and exactly the same stuff that shows in a Ungoogled Chromium incognito window. I hardly ever use Chromium.

I use Cookie AutoDelete, uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes and a VPN for casual surfing though.
It seems that Tim Cook considers the devices and the ecosystem that they create a *aaS. So they shouldn’t be considered general purpose devices on which you can run anything. Think of them as cloud devices with local/edge cacheing for improved experience, very similarly to what Google offers.
Haha, nice.
I don’t think that’s a sufficient fix though. E.g. many people may enable location sharing to messenger for legitimate uses like meeting up with friends in public places, and for a “15m of location shared to friend” feature they would need to turn location sharing up to at least the “allow while app is running” setting, but people doing that would surely not also intend for the app to also get the location of every photo they send to their friends (including photos that the OS(?) automatically tags with the current location when they are saved)

wait, I'm confused. why was trans banned from titles and tags before? and if it had been banned, why's it allowed in tags now?

was twitch assuming the only reason we'd tag our streams as trans because it's a porn thing? if so that's pretty messed up, though not surprising.
I've redacted some personally identifying information from the comment above. It's clear that the comment wasn't malicious; it's just that these things can have unintended side effects (e.g. when they show up in search results) and we do our best to take care of people about such things.
I would think it's really in Amazon's interest to crack down on fakes. Fakes are bad customer experience.

My guess is that fakes are hard to detect at Amazon's operational scale - that it's "not solved" how to filter or curate out shrewd fakes vendors and ads for fakes on the platform at scale. The Amazon market place is like an AppStore without the benefit of code to scan.

Amazon does need to signal that they are going to detect the fake sellers. But I also think that they would benefit by implementing a more restrictive listings policy, where they risk some false positives in favor of reducing the overall prevalance of fakes. This is one of the things that makes the AppStore frustrating for publishers to deal with, but it also in principal benefits the Apple customer. A low restriction policy instead favors vendor relationships vs consumer experience. Maybe Amazon benefits by identifying customers with a propensity to buy goods like fakes.

One would think Amazon is losing consumers for certain goods. Amazon operates a marketplace. It makes money from sellers, in terms of selling paying to advertise, and it makes money from transactions, as some fraction of sales. It instruments the marketplace, so it knows which consumers are buying which goods. It makes money from its own brands, which given its instrumentation, can efficiently targetly pockets of demand.

Amazon does OK as long as it is the default or preferred marketplace for stuff. As a consumer, I should not be seeing fake stuff at all. This is a search quality problem, like not seeing SEO'd spam in search results. If it's hard to tell good stuff from fake stuff, you would think a BestBuy or a Walmart with assured quality would win out.

What it looks like now is that not "enough" consumers are turned off from negative Amazon experiences.
Do I pay a lower price though a more convenient experience, and risk a notably worse fake, or do I pay a little more, and go to a differernt vendor? I wonder if there is a relative or absolute cost charactic to fakes - like no deal can be but so good and probably not be a fake. What I would want to see is if Amazon is losing sales on higher cost higher risk items to competitors.

I think the ultimate question for undestanding Amazon will always be the money - how are the marketplace profits are driven - and in that what's the mix of vendor ads, transaction fees, and consumer targeting. My speculation is that they are working toward technical solutions for fakes, and that they think they have time and position in market to get there. Fakes are not yet enough of an experiential or reputational problem for Amazon to do differently.
>“Facebook marketing is generally dominated by iOS,” one ad industry article laments, “it’s pretty safe to assume Facebook has lost at least half their data, arguably the most valuable half.”

That's surprising. Facebook has a global reach and can run on damn near anything with a screen. I'm surprised iOS makes up such disproportionate part of its revenue.

Of course, you don't need to spend a dime if you can get in on the drops. Most are happening on private Telegram channels. A bot that can collect drops cross chain would surely be a marvel.

>That's too broad.

I should probably specify that I meant the US as a polity. I filter titles that mention (america|united states|usa|u\.s\.) or major officials by name. This has done me well so far, and the stories with farreaching consequences have always reached me via several other trusted channels (i.e. friends, family, colleagues, my feed, etc.).

I agree with the rest of your points.

> If the goals were smaller and most penalties did not result in goal

Then they arguably wouldn't be penalties.

But there's no need to argue with me, I've been watching football for some odd 30 years and playing for a good subset of that. It has never occurred to me that penalties are taken poorly at the pro level - I've seen absolute dross at the amateur level, but I concur that most pro penalty takers are phenomenal, both from a statistical and aesthetical perspective. Not that I think there is that much value in the latter - by design, a penalty kick is the most aesthetically boring of all set pieces. A penalty kick ensues higher emotions due to the odds at play, but from a purely aesthetical point of view, I'd argue that even a corner kick has a much higher potential (a volley, a bicycle kick, a header, a fine-tuned "chess play" that cracks the defense open, etc.)

And a penalty kick doesn't compare to the myriad other open plays in football which have infinitely more aesthetic appeal. A penalty kick is about creating a certain balance of odds, simple as. Every other consideration is secondary.

>How is that not what exists? Aren't many apps based on web technologies, and/or have custom UIs?

Yes, but

(a) some, as opposed to all which is the dream of the pro web-app camp.

(b) forbidding custom JS and web engines helps keep this low

(c) even the crappy mobile-webview apps at least have to be wrapped in an app container, be installable and uninstallable the same way, be notarized, use the same payment system with central control, and be tied to the same policies (e.g. regarding privacy, notifications, use of apis) as native mobile apps
Yes whenever possible, hah.

Therefor the average user will not be able to keep themselves safe. QED. Om the other hand, I do want root on my devices. It can see both sides and it is not clear to me what the solution is. I have already left Android because I don’t have time or interest to security assess all the evil apps that look real similar to the free flow games I like or the solitaire games. But thirty percent is steep. And arguably Epic can curate games as well or better than Apple. Debian for phones would be good but so far the open source things are pricy and underpowered. And the it is true the Apple store has a lot of bad apps already and fake reviews. Lot of evil people clustering around so many chances to become rich without delighting customers.

JSON for modern C++ and this article pretty much cover it.

C++ tends to be the second best language for everything, and this is no exception. Go beats it at Go’s own niche: it has great compilation times and it forces you down a sane asynchronous programming path.

C++ fails on both those criteria. However, once you fall off the happy path in Go, you’re probably completely screwed, where as with C++, you’re already using the second best language for whatever your new problem is.
This is an incredible assault on EU right. A flight leaving EU soil, arriving to EU soil was diverted and forced to land on a country essentially ruled by a strongman, in order to arrest an opposition journalist.

Of course Lukashenko has the backing of Putin, so it is a slippery slope. I wonder how the EU will react. This is a major transgression.

And yes, I already use Signal and Telegram with people who use it. I just don’t go around demanding every single person I know switches over, just because I say so.

> Beside having your email, do they have your address or is that only amazon?

Well, Amazon does not give out buyer e-mail addresses either, so the seller must've figured it out some other way (or via an Amazon bug).

Unless the item was fulfilled by Amazon, the seller gets your physical address (so they can ship out the item).
This happens to me all the time, especially when I get stuck on a programming problem. It's counter-intuitive, but sometimes the best approach is to take a step back and stop actively thinking about it.

If you're more interested in this phenomenon, I recommend reading "A Mind For Numbers" by Barbara Oakley [1].

She calls it "the diffuse mode" and it's useful for spotting similarities and making connections between different concepts and ideas. This is difficult to do in "the focused mode", when you're analytically working on a problem.

My problem has always been that Apple is both the gatekeeper and a competitor in its app store. I'd have a lot more trust in Apple as a consumer if they didn't offer up first party products such as Apple TV and Apple Arcade. It makes the shutdown of game streaming services seem particularly disingenuous.

The payments issue is more complex, but I can't get a metaphor to origins of monopoly law out of my head: If payments processing is like shipping around little bags of money, its like we have a railroad that controls half the market forcing exclusive transport contracts on manufacturers. It certainly FEELS wrong.

I think, ideally, Apple should be barred from offering first party services without providing a mechanism for third parties to receive the same treatment via a certification process. That means that other game stores could get access to that apple arcade button in the app store and that other payment processors could be used, so long as they met Apple's declared standards for privacy and security.
Yes. I got harassed by a seller for months both via emails and post for a 1 star review on amazon. It's actually pretty logical that they have your postal address since they need it for shipping.

> change review back with a short statement of what happened. I mean, as I understand it, what are they gonna do?

Your review will simply not pass amazon's moderation - they actively censor this stuff.
Lots of tech folks buy apple and at the same time vast majority of Apple customers should not be trusted to do valid security assessment or maintain good operational security.
