You can stop using social media or use some specific social media with zero monitoring by state (mastodon?), but it was almost impossible to escape from DDR.

It’s still unclear to me why Apple should have any limits in what rules they set for their store.
Don’t publishers have the option to skip Apple’s store and sell in other ones?

I mean this isn’t price gouging generators during a winter storm. This is video games and apps.

What stops publishers from simply shrugging, walking away, and letting Apple users miss out?

I'm really annoyed when people repeat the part about D having a Rust-like borrow checking system.

This is absolutely something that the project has communicated about, but that communication shouldn't be repeated uncritically.

If you actually look at what @live semantics are like... well, they're quite incomplete, under-specified, and they lack a roadmap for getting to a state where they could offer GC-less memory safety in D.

I have yet to hear of any project successfully using the @live feature in a production environment, and I fully expect the same thing to be true 5 years from now.

D's @live is a mirage.
For the military, right to repair is one of those areas where I think there is an especially good use case.

That’s how power transformer work in a utility network! We have 120000000w (120MVA) at work. So 500w isn’t much for an isolation transformer.
I think it is actually closer to ~16 hours a year assuming the lower end of the range you suggested, and dramatically less if this person makes more than that.

Most simply, I think the typical calculation is if there were 40 working hours per week (8 hours, Mon - Fri) then there are 2080 working hours per year, which is ~21.63 Euro (per hour, assuming 45k EUR) just in salary - other commenters pointed out an employer would have other costs, but lets try and keep it simple as was suggested.

But beyond simple, you don't work on public holidays and Europe tends to have 20-25 vacation days per year as well. That probably adds up to 35 days (280 hours) in France. Therefore the number of hours actually 'at work' is only going to be 1800 a year, so 45k EUR comes to 25EUR per hour.

I imagine this might work on AWS Free Tier but while SES supports ~62k emails per month as 'Always Free', any EC2 instance or network bandwidth is probably billable here. There's probably up to 100EUR a year in cost associated here?

So you have 400EUR of money Mailchimp charged for the service and will never be "apples to apples" because now you're responsible for initial setup and ongoing maintenance. Definitely seems simple in the blog post, but unmentioned was how you backup all the configuration and state, how do you monitor it, most of the features of Mailtrain (e.g. Click Stats) rely on the NodeJS application being operational so is this actually a load balancer, two instances, and the extra complexity of database replication, et al? It is also now on you to make sure it stays patched, isn't compromised, etc.

I imagine there are different deliverability promises with Mailchimp vs. Amazon SES and you might now have to do more managing of that through AWS interfaces?

All of the above needs to fit into ~16 hours a year if we're going to draw this comparison against what you'd make as a salaried engineer. All of the above is time that could have been spent on extra content for the newsletter, or improved content for it, other than this post obviously, or on audience building, on other professional development, or just about anything else.

I think the ROI of writing the article and making everyone debate this on the internet was pretty high, but the title feels like clickbait. This is a straight trade for saving a little money vs. a semi-significant personal time investment.
Getting the mutation is not an issue, its understanding what the mutation does to the organism that's the hard part, and that still usually means planting a bunch of seedlings to screen for favorable progeny.
But can we expect the future cryptocurrency of the world to be bottlenecked by average users needing to run full nodes on average laptops? Considering Bitcoin only has a total of 27 million addresses, couldn't we introduce some special blocks that consolidate the transaction history during a certain timespan so that nodes don't need to download the entire history?

No joke, back in like 1985 or so when I was in high school I found a book in the public library that was a tour of various computer languages. Like all of them. PL/I, SNOBOL, Lisp, Smalltalk, the old ones from ancient times. Each had a sample program and a few pages discussing the features of the language.

The description for Forth had 'ball of mud' in it. That bottom-up design where you start with a tiny core and keep adding little bits and smoothing them out then adding more over and over.

I always thought it was more like a snowball like in making a snowman sort of accumulation. But now... that final step when you have that last written that you give the command and the system removes all the bits that never get referenced from your application, squishes it down, polishes it up and spits out an executable.

Forth is very dorodango.

Apple's use of its own market power on its store to regulate conduct on other markets is deeply concerning.

Another example is Apple ID. If I use Google or Facebook SSO in my app, I have to offer Apple SSO alongside it. That is okay. However Apple will refuse the app into the App Store if I don't also offer Apple ID login on desktop and Android platforms.

Apple should keep its nose in its own business.
We also pay around 200USD/mo and are a small local business with some online presence for e-tutorials etc. They were cheap for a while but if you get over 15k contacts it's a crazy price if you are not a heavily monetised business and mostly just want to send newsletters not conversion funnel jank.
So they don’t get to be on iOS. I’d leave ethics and morals out of this convo since neither side has anyone’s interest but their own. Sounds like you already found a solution to this court case - don’t buy Apple if you want to tinker with your hardware. I’m shocked that is news to anyone. I’m shocked so many of us want to dictate what the rest of us have as the status quo because it doesn’t align with your feelings and belief system.
Is this the digital equivalent of throwing rocks at Goliath?

I am curious if download patterns for Facebook app would ever change because I doubt anyone looks at ratings when it comes specifically to large dominant “destination” type of apps like FB or even Instagram.

Many platforms routinely censor and I am doubtful they would alter that behavior. Twitter even openly censored the US president and AWS and others made Gab unviable.

The CEO of Youtube openly bragged about the censorship they do at a “Freedom of Expression” awards show. She bragged about the content crackdown/censorship and won an award from the awards show.

It is like give Nobel peace prizes to war criminals. Wait. We already do that.

Note:

I might be wrong and an isolated case but I never really look at ratings because I never rate anything myself and I think they can be very easily gamed, bought, influenced and is literally mathematical garbage.

Most people don't matter and yeah, they 'll always prefer the prepackaged, "curated", high sugar content. The role of the decentralized web is to provide an infinite-frontier alternative so that ideas can grow outside the pettiness and the boxes of the mainstream. And yes, they do work for that
One question for the author: monads are not just a tool for IO but form a coherent abstraction over all side-effects. In my Haskell code, I personally have used monads for applications including parsing, fallible operations, IO, random number generation and testing, amongst others. For me, the most useful feature of monads is that they act as a coherent abstraction, allowing me to write code which can work over any of these domains. How does the author propose to replace this?
The above examples are really not useful real world examples I think.

Ultimately, there still is a single source of truth, which why not use a tech called MySQL for?

If fraud happens, the blockchain wont stop it. Its the systems in the real world that do. The fraud will just happen on the blockchain.
The article doesn’t make any proper arguments or present any logical flow.

All I can gather is the author once worked in blockchain and is now burnt out by the monetary side.

Everything they describe such as Git and email work fine. A strong technology will have SaS offerings but also still be usable from a CLI perspective.

Is it ALL under capitalism? The 20th century was an on-going battle to see what political system would take over, and capitalism took the lead, but it's NOT because it took over, but rather that the other systems collapsed under their own incompetence. Long story short, capitalism is the only known system that has at least produced some wealth, granted in the process also produced greater inequality, but again, I'm not convinced those problems are entirely due to capitalism, and it could well be the case that more wealth will always produce inequality until we find a new complementary system that doesn't attempt to undo capitalism and instead works alongside it.
Less than most actually. Most have no practical means to act against the interest of pools, whose operators have most of the real control that people ascribe to miners.
It's because glutathione cures, especially the elderly.

> N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has made the news, not because scientists discovered a new health benefit, but because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration decided after 57 years of over-the-counter sales the compound is now a medication that requires a physician’s prescription.

> [...] NAC is valued as a precursor to glutathione, also called the “master antioxidant.” [...]

> NAC is useful in the treatment of acetaminophen poisoning, helping to lower the risk of mortality and liver damage. Despite a long history of concurrent use as an over-the-counter supplement and prescription medication in the hospital, the FDA has not been interested in removing the status as a dietary supplement — not, that is, until recently when NAC showed promise in the fight against [SARS2].

bastards.
I am not particularly a fan of Apple. Still, I think Apple is better than Google. That is how sad the situation is. There is simply no choice other than iOS and Android. I really wish Microsoft hadn't given up so soon on windows phone. Microsoft isn't great either, but at least there would be three choices instead of two.

I hope projects like Librem 5 succeed, but they are a long way :(
> An honest reader would not interpret my pro-free-market comment as being 100% absolute in any and all circumstances.

FWIW, based on my experience, whenever I see Americans arguing pro-free-market, I am going to assume that they genuinely argue in absolutes. ("FWIW" because I can see from your profile that you're Canadian.)
Selective breeding can also introduce harmful characteristics. Many modern cultivars that have been selectively bread for commercially favorable traits for decades lack the hardiness found in landraces, for instance. Species also are mutating all the time randomly.
Ethereum is doing that today with rollups, which are capable of several thousand tx/sec without security compromises. But you multiply that if you scale the first layer too.
> The United States has the implicit threat of the mightiest army in the world behind its soft spoken requests. The US doesn’t have to peacock with fighter jets because the NATO bases scattered all over Europe do the talking.

That's a bit silly though. An implicit threat still requires the belief that an act of violence will be carried out. Do you honestly think anyone in Europe believes America will pull back the velvet glove just to find one person? It'd cause the disintegration of NATO.

> Unless you count making money as not enough of a use case.

So then you're agreeing that the only real use case for crypto is speculation, and not something normal people should care about.

> By that standard, majority of Wall Street has no use case either, since much of the money is made entirely on speculation.

I think most educated people would agree that Wall St is a drain on society the same as targeted ads. The world is better without it. Are ads also useful because of how much money they make?

> HN will willfully ignore crypto and miss out not only on life changing money, but one of the few places in tech that is still fun and exciting and hasn’t been “corporatized”.

I really hope you're not so naïve that you don't realize crypto markets are being manipulated by big banks.
I doubt that the pilot or copilot could have done this themselves, but I would be very surprised if they never asked their corporate control operating command to explain and establish what exactly was going on and whether they're going to be compelled to comply with the Belorussian diversions request... assuming that the escort fighter jets didn't simultaneously arrive on their wings to punctuate the "request" effectively.

Can anyone with FAA / CAA (the UK civil aviation authority) or EU airspace rules knowledge clarify what protocols exist for these situations?
This is the same as the adage which goes something like:

Why would you expect someone who has demonstrated a complete lack of empathy to suddenly do so?

Or just ignore them. Don't engage with the message either physically as in typing a response, or even just mentally. Skim and move on.

That people send unwanted messages on the internet is the most common complaint I see regarding the internet that I just cant empathise with at all. I just really dont get it. Possibly has something to do with my first couple years online involving 4chan.
1. But I still need a bank in the currency on the other end. So this might eliminate some forex fees, but that's it?

2. Again, still need a bank account on the end.

3. How pervasive are these? Can I find one on the street while traveling Munich for example? How do I get a card?

4/5. No one wants to use crypto because they get FOMO on price fluctuations. Until then it's basically useless.

Until crypto becomes pervasive as a medium of exchange it's as useless as a bar of gold.

How do you account for Amazon's investment in making the Kindle Fire OS updated and valuable? Haven't they paid their own expense to deliver a comparable application?

My point on e-ink was to show that Amazon has not invested in the Kindle product line.

Kindle readers can't support any modern interaction. And that part of the reason the interface speed is bad is because Amazon has neglected to invest whatsoever in the technology.

But to focus on the Kindle Fire app and its comparison, if you look at the most negative recent reviews, they generally focus on device incompatibility.

If you look at the App Store reviews for the kindle reader, they do not focus on that. They focus on other common issues between the platforms.

Device compatibility and support is a real value that Amazon Kindle users on iOS get.
I used to play competitive multiplayer games, including one game that was about controlling resource points. It could get very intense, but it taught me an extremely important lesson: if you spend all your time playing defense, no matter how well you play it, you are going to lose. It may feel like you’re winning when you hold the line, but you are losing. Sometimes you have to look for opportunities to slip past the obvious fight and make strategic attacks elsewhere.

Secondly, from World of Warcraft raiding: a good player is nothing without a good team. But a team needs a certain density of good players to be good.

Finally, kind of a meta-lesson: one day, while playing the resource point control game, I found myself getting very angry. I was worked up, red faced, yelling. And I had this moment where I realized - I don’t have to feel this way. Nothing is forcing me to. So I put it down, uninstalled it, and never played those types of games again.
> It was a hegemonic superpower using it's leverage to create a wall of un-passable countries

Adjectives aside, that sounds very much like you're admitting that this was basically diplomacy. "You may not fly Snowden through our airspace", says NATO[1]. So Morales landed in Austria instead, proved Snowden wasn't aboard, and flew on. At no point were NATO military or law enforcement on his plane, and no one was arrested.

Belarus just forced down an Irish airliner after (1) granting transit under false pretenses, (2) lying about a "bomb threat", (3) forcing a landing with military assets, (4) forcing an evacuation of the aircraft, searching it, and arresting five people who never intended to enter Belarus legally at all.

And you really don't see the difference?

[1] Strictly France, Spain, Germany and Portugal. This wasn't a NATO action, but it was leveraging exactly that alignment of interests.
Yeah, had a similar problem on a previous project. A typo in a config file, which was then leaked to an API which was then leaked to multiple clients of that API.

Eventually we fixed it in our API gateway for the API we provide to customers because it looked unprofessional, so we have a mapping layer in that API that exists purely to correct the typo.
The Dassault Falcon 900EX doesn't have enough range to get from Moscow to Bolivia. It might've had enough fuel to get across the Atlantic, but only if they were planning on refueling in the US or Canada after making a large deviation from the direct route. I think it's most likely they were planning on making a fuel stop somewhere in the old world and were carrying an amount of fuel commensurate with that.

edit: Yep, according to Portugal they initially requested a fuel stop in Lisbon before they were grounded. When they ultimately left Vienna they refueled at the Canary Islands.

Really can't agree more.

It's clear that the App Store offers significant value for many vendors, and charging for it is fine. Epic apparently generates $500m of revenue per year from the iPhone, and they're doing so using platforms, tools, and APIs that Apple built to help developers do that. It's reasonable that Apple would get a slice of that. The company I work for makes, well, a lot less revenue that Epic, but a decent chunk of the revenue we do make goes to AWS and Stripe, as compensation for their help in letting us earn that revenue.

What's not great is the specific way Apple has chosen to get this cut. AWS and Stripe both run, more-or-less, on a cost-plus model; they package up a service, and resell it to us at a markup (in the case of AWS bandwidth, a very, very, fat markup), and they let us decide how much of that service to consume, and how we want to balance our purchases between them and competing vendors.

Apple's stance here is a little like if AWS tried to force people who use any AWS service to use their overpriced egress bandwidth for everything, and sued customers found to be using Cloudflare to reduce their costs.
Not a problem if its a DLT with final state.
You just need to request the hash of the final state from enough nodes to assure its the real deal. They would all need to lie the same way to trick you. If they are all compromised then the system is rendered useless anyway.

Also basic properties like the total amount of tokens can be validated on the last state alone. You can assure no one added more tokens simply by summing all balances. You dont need any history data for that.

>Sorta... The central banks know every coin that has been created and notes that have been printed. When you fill in your Tax forms you are creating this Tx history manually.

Yeah no, you are moving and stretching the goal post to far here. Notes are unique but that's not a Tx history at all and neither is a Tax form.
I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I'm not sure what I would do if I were to become financially independent before "retirement age", but it certainly wouldn't be getting a job at a BigCo. Really curious to hear the motivations behind it.
