This is oversimplifying in the opposite direction in my opinion. The important thing is not the letters, it's how they manifest -- the way they're interpreted as instructions. So the objection is to taking a paragraph of Ulysses and putting it into The Grapes of Wrath. Or even better, selecting a step from the middle of How to Build a Birdhouse and inserting it into the directions for crocheting a tea cozy.

If properly chosen, it could certainly have a beneficial effect. But DNA is also a much more complex system than a book.
Sure, but when you grant capabilities you can't be sure what is being done with them. That's why you need static analysis, behavioural analysis and the whole test regime of App Store review to catch these sorts of activities. That's why Apple has an app store review process, otherwise they could bake all the restrictions into the OS itself. With permissioning for side loaded apps you can't know or enforce activities with the granted services. Yet people like framecowbird will still blame Apple for not producing a "good OS" that protects them anyway.

"or other true facts about Apple)"

Except everything you just listed is mostly _not_ true or unique to Apple.

The apps that you launch? That was the developer certificate, not the app, over the same protocol for verifying certificates that is used in Windows SmartScreen and other systems.

The malware issue? Every statistic shows iOS has less malware than Android, so why exactly is that a complaint?

CPU down clocking? iOS warns you your battery is old, warns you this may cause slowness, a battery repair is like $50 or so, and it does that so that the thing doesn't crash and restart randomly just as Android phones will also do if their batteries are old.
>how is this different from PS/Xbox/etc?

They aren't that different but I'm not sure this has been challenged yet. So perhaps that's the difference- nobody has yet challenged Microsoft's monopoly on the Xbox or Sony's monopoly on the Playstation.

I would love these platforms to be opened up as well. The fact consoles are closed walled gardens too doesn't excuse Apple's App Store monopoly.

Edit: From what I can gather there isn't anywhere near a billion total consoles in use worldwide however there is over a billion active iPhones in use right now:

> Apple says there are now over 1 billion active iPhones, with 1.65 billion Apple devices in use overall.

> No developer in their right mind would let Apple take a cut of anything.

No developer in their right mind would let Apple take a 30% cut of anything.

Most developers would pay Apple a 3% cut in order to use Apple's built in-payment mechanism, and not force their users to leave the app and type their credit card information into a browser.

30% is exploitive, and not at all proportional to the value provided. People pay it because they have to, not because it's fair.

Let’s Admit It: Everyone Hates Leadership
I don’t think your first sentence is accurate - there is no single standard definition for right to repair, and I have absolutely seen people saying that right to repair includes an obligation for manufacturers to redesign hardware so repairs are easier. I’ve also seen people say it’s only about allowing schematic access and nothing else. I’ve seen people say it includes unlocking bootloaders. IMO this is one of the biggest problems with the right to repair movement: the goals are fairly poorly defined.
> the best chance of scoring is to kick it straight down the center to the keeper.

it's called "panenka" after a player that used to do this in high-stakes games to rub it in. You have to fake your run-up well - otherwise good keepers will notice the difference in run-up and make you look like an idiot [1]

I don't think it's the best chance. Panenkas are about 50-50 and normal penalties are about 70%-30%. And most of that 30% is missing the goal completely. If you go hard either side and don't miss the goal it's almost 100% no matter if the keeper dives the right way.

Then there are strikers like Lewandowski who wait for keeper to decide and go the other way [2]. This is all about developing a subconscious routine and doing it mechanically without thinking. You have no time to consciously process the data and choose the other side.

Has the US been very stingy about its space science? I always thought NASA in particular was pretty internationally collaborative (or at least no less so than ESA)? In whichever case, I’m excited for other countries (or unions of countries) to join in on space science.
Gabbard is not to Biden's left, and what you're noting is the intrinsic incoherency of the "left-right" divide. Gabbard is an economic populist who makes calculated appeals to the white working class. She's a purer incarnation of what Trump represented in 2016, and nobody felt Trump was to the left of even Hillary Clinton.

The brain poisoning here is that Gabbard has been instrumentalized by marginal "right-wing" activists as a cudgel to use against Democrats (I'm not making value judgements, Democrats have their own box of cudgels). What gives away the game is that you only hear spirited defenses of Gabbard from right-libertarians. Gabbard is herself a marginal political figure and the fact that we discuss her at all is itself an indication that something is wrong.

I'm relating this because it's interesting, not because I have a powerful stake in how this discussion plays out here. We're not going to solve American politics in an HN thread. I'm just saying: it's way more complicated than you let on, and, while the media bubble is certainly very distorted, this isn't a good sign of it.
I think discovery is more of a solved problem than monetization.

The discovery engine is focused on specific content because it’s profitable (monetized).

Don't know about the other stuff on offer there, but I'd guess it would be the same.

The problem is the knowing and the sometimes horribly translated descriptions there,

which make it look like alien gibberish.

Apart from that I'm thinking it's mostly the same stuff, not even 'bootlegged', just directly from the source/ODM/OEM,

while the usual 'high-quality' stuff just has a different label on it, and it is the greed for that label/brand which enables

countless middlemen/upsellers/marketeers and their shady schemes.
Would be interesting to hear the communication between Minsk and the airplane here. For example did the captain make the decision to land solely based on the (false) bomb threat, or was there something more going on. Like were they informed that fighter(s) were dispatched?

I mean it is obviously very bad to make false bomb threats, but its still very different than forcing by threatening to shoot the plane down.

I have only ever heard good things about Anker but their premium price has kept me from purchasing them. I bought Aukey several times because they were considerably cheaper than Anker.

I was and still am impressed with their quality and with their support so I have continued to buy their products.

I really like their now outdated PA-U32 USB power supply, it was a great value for the money and I probably have a half dozen or more.

I think all of my USB powerbanks are Aukey and I have been happy with each.

Can you imagine the pressure he is under, knowing full well that Russia stands ready to take the entire country if the possibility of a Pro Europe/Pro Western Party was elected. You don't have to look back too far to see what lies on the horizon, Ukraine was a perfect example of that. Unfortunately Europe (France and Germany mainly)/West (USA) has shown that they are more interested in maintaining a business relationship with Russia than defended against their aggression. They won't even support none aggression treaties they were all a party to.

Is Lukashenko a dictator, for sure, but he is in an impossible situation. The Russians are making sure of that and as long as Western Governments show an indifference to the sovereignty of countries like Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, etc there is no way forward.
Why is that weird? Facebook has to put warnings in the browser console to prevent people from pasting malicious code that some viral post said would give them super powers on Facebook.

I have to preface this with a very emphatic the ends absolutely do not justify the means, but, defying ill repute and near-unanimous pessimism, Iraq seems to have been able to slowly stitch its parliamentary system back together and respond to democratic pressures (protests, elections) without resorting to fraud and violence. It's too early to celebrate, but things look a lot better than they did ten years ago.

GP said:

> Vaccines don't prevent infection, they reduce severity by training the body's immune system

You said:

> I don't know where this misinformation came from, but it is absolutely false. COVID vaccines have been shown to prevent infection...

and cited a link which stated that

> "... two mRNA vaccines can reduce the risk of all SARS-CoV-2 infections, not just symptomatic infections."

So, the vaccines reduce the risk of being the virus being present, as well as the risk that the virus being present will cause symptoms (and by implications, the risk of severe symptoms).

Your link uses the term "infection" to cover both:

* virus present, no symptoms
* virus present, symptoms present

Many people (including GP) would tend to use "infection" to refer to a single condition: virus present.

So in that sense, GP is correct: the vaccine does not necessarily prevent the vaccine from being present in the body, but it is effective at reducing the risk that this will cause symptoms.

Of course, your link also implies that there a reduction in the risk that detectable virus will occur after exposure to the virus (which is great!). But my reading of the whole document suggested that the authors are keen to allow for the possibility that a fully vaccinated person may still have detectable viral load in their body. Ergo, it does not "prevent infection".
These are actually quite common now. They're especially problematic because since the credential harvesting happens on localhost, there's no bad site to take down, and no indicative URL. Often the Javascript payload is heavily obfuscated.

This is one reason why we (INKY) sanitize HTML to normalize character representations, remove JavaScript, XSS, etc. You can no longer rely on client-side sanitization as you could in the desktop client days (though even some of the better web services, like Fastmail actually do sanitize). It's also why you have to be super paranoid about HTML attachments now.

In my view if you need to get your dell laptop fixed, you can get it fixed by someone else when dell wants to charge you for a whole new laptop, or refuses to fix it. That's what right to repair is for.
With the risk of sounding overly harsh - If 99$ per annum is a concrete financial risk maybe being a solo developer is not such a good lifepath financially. I imagine anyone capable of deploying an app store app has pretty good skills and is quite hireable.

Of course individual situations can be different, but this is discussion about the "generic situation".
Soft power and American exceptionalism; like apple pie with ice cream, always somehow greater than the sum of the parts. The reality is that our soft power is moderated (mediated?) by the narratives exported by the couple of big media companies that dominate our airwaves (and thoughts.) These narratives have intentionally not, worked to undermine American soft power while promoting the soft power of international organizations like the WHO. Any discussion of soft power that omits the media is hopelessly incomplete. The soft power is being reallocated by our elites, because it was their power to begin with.
Not currently, but it would be a few minutes work to add that possibility. I'll take a note about it :)
Tomatoes and tobacco are actually reasonably closely related already: same Family, Solanaceae. (I wouldn't be surprised if that fact inspired the episode.) They might even be cross-breedable as is.
What I fear is that as a reaction to Apple's recent moves on privacy (tracking transparency, requiring user consent prior to tracking, etc), Facebook is going to spin up its own App Store without such rules where user data is a free for all.

This wouldn't be a threat in itself, but having control of heavy hitters like the Facebook app, Instagram, and WhatsApp among others, they could drive traffic levels that no third-party App Store has ever seen overnight. They can also afford to buy other heavy-hitting exclusives, and some data hungry devs would likely come on board with no incentive at all.

This would be a terrible outcome. If iOS is to support third party app stores, I'd rather it be after legislation is passed that effectively enforces Apple's App Store privacy policies at a federal level.
If that was the law then sure, Apple could just sell a Samsung Android phone on their store so they don’t get fined. This approach obviously doesn’t actually change anything for smartphone users or developers.

No.... His logic is that he should have the freedom to hire someone to fix a device, instead of replace the part completely, if he chooses to do so.

> If the genuine parts cost the same

If people were free to do repairs differently, then it would be possible to do a repair more cheaply.

I am not sure how you could be misinterpreting what they are saying this much.

Thats just not true. Saudi family rule over Arabia is predicated on US support. If all SA oil production stopped it would not topple the US government. If the US decided to back a political opposition like it did in Syria the Saudi regime would implode in days.
How does that quote remotely imply there is something "wrong" with it (aside from it obviously factoring into credibility)? Another person took the exact same quote and declared that it betrayed jealousy. This borders on parody.
