Never used the Atari's, but for C64, the 1541 floppy contained a full computer not that much less powerful than the C64 itself (less RAM, obviously no sound or graphics; but you could load code onto the 1541 over the serial port and use it as a co-processor...) in addition to the drive mechanics, and that was pretty normal for computers at the time, which explains why floppy drives were so expensive... Looking up the 810, it seems to be a similar-ish full computer.

(I freaked my parents out with experiments like pulling the CPU and IO chips out of their sockets and swapping them to see what would happen; the 1541 has a 6502 CPU instead of the 6510 in the C64, and 6522 IO chips instead of 6526 - the CPU difference is lack of GPIO on the 6502; the 6522 lacks a real-time clock, which next to no software on the C64 uses)
My theory is that there is a strong pressure towards uniformity in these countries (Extreme Janteloven in Denmark). This is often marked out as a reason for their success, however I suspect that the strong affinity biases (to use a loaded term) ensure that the countries lose out in exploring opportunities for innovation in the long run.

What’s left is a focus on economic management, politicians whose main job is to maintain the status quo, and a low appetite for reform. Which I guess is fine for everyone if the money keeps rolling in, but is dispiriting for anyone that wants to try their hand at making something new.

I’m happy to be pointed to links on how Nordics are hothouses for innovation (as opposed to just applying a known business model to a new market), as I would love to have the wrong end of the stick on this!

Why didn’t they just turn off the feature though? The wording they use “tracking” is so negative no user will ever reply yes to it. Maybe to educate users about privacy?
Ahh... I've misunderstood that extra bit, and I think it's never at the 2**128 position. I've misread the code for padding. A stop bit is used to disambiguate zero padding from messages that end in zeroes, similar to most hash function message padding. How silly of me.

Worth noting that unless you’re personally selling advertising (which only a few people can do), ads are subject to a fee as well, by the broker/network.

You don’t collect 100% of the money paid by the advertiser.

What you avoid with ads on iOS is paying twice: Once to the broker, and again to Apple.
It had its basis in the anglification of Montreal and other cities. After 1763, Quebec was a French province ran by the Brits, and due to immigration policies and family sizes, cities like Montreal became more English than French. When the French came into power after Dominion, they and the catholic church incentivized French people to have more children. After a few generations of very high birth rates (think 4 or 5 children per women), Montreal was once again more French than English. Nowadays, that policy is extended to all families, regardless of language.

There's no doubt "value engineering" occurs. Your claim is that early obsolescence is not planned but rather a side effect of value engineering.

There's nothing in the universe that stops a feature that meets a design goal of lowering value from also meeting the design goal of planned obsolescence. So it's 100 percent possible that a company still has two design goals: making a cheaper product and obsolescescing that product.

So if you claim that it's basically not happening. Tell me in what way is a company not incentivised to plan the early obsolescence of a product and what evidence do you have that this is basically not happening as a deliberate design decision?

Your evidence is only an example that a company can both meet the goal of obsolescence and lower value with a singular feature of cheaper materials. I have stated that this is not evidence because a company can still have the design goal of obsolescence while meeting that goal with a singular design feature intended to make the product cheaper as well. You need to counter this reasoning because it invalidated your evidence.

That's a shame. Many of the WordStar holdouts actually like their writing machine to be some old reliable computer without modern distractions. It isn't just the software, it is the whole experience. It runs one program at a time, no internet, now notifications, just reliable typing on what's probably a mechanical keyboard that has exactly the right feel.
It's an answer disguised as question. The title is "I created an IDL to simplify the restful api development". On that page it's in the discussion section tagged documentation. Given the user already tried marketing with many fake accounts https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27266000 I don't think this is HN material.
I use JOE as my programming (and general purpose) editor, which is modeled after WordStar in a lot of ways. Once, I happened upon a WordStar installation and was able to use it just fine, because I already knew the concepts (I think the command prefix isn't ^K though, so it felt a bit off?)
My rural county has gone wild for roundabouts. It appears we got a new traffic engineer about five years ago and they've set about to make as many roundabouts as possible. We even have a double roundabout now. I'm surprised by how little controversy it created and how quickly everyone adapted. I can only think of one that hasn't worked out well and that's because traffic from a very close Chick-fil-a ends up back up into the roundabout and clogging it up.

Due to the rural/exurban character of the area, space for roundabouts isn't much of an issue. I suspect lots of other similar counties could do the same with similar results but it takes someone in the planning office to take the chance on doing it. Also it takes money so from a fiscal point of view, it's best to redo intersections when they're already scheduled for being repaved or they're having capacity issues that need to be addressed.
It's more like the difference between tapping a phone line at the call center, and giving into every individual person a handheld entertainment and communication device that also functions as a bug.

Freedom of speech is an important buffer that prevents violence, too. Far too often the group calling to silence some unpopular opinion doesn't realize that in taking that outlet away, all that is left is violence.
It’s a community-edited encyclopedia with thousands of contributors and billions of users, I feel like community engagement is very central to that. Global development also seems central to scaling their core product. Communications is likewise no surprise for an organization of their scale and global importance.

Obviously there’s a debate to be had about what and how much Wikipedia should engage in other ventures but even for their core work a lot of these roles seem pretty reasonable...

I wonder if you also question the power of a government to forcibly take money from the people with no or few children and give the money to those with many children.

This (allocation per child) is a policy very frequently encountered in a large number of countries.

It is also frequent in those countries to raise the level of the allocation per child immediately before elections, which leads to quite an inflated level after many election cycles.

Unlike with China's population control policy, I have not seen any questioning of these allocation per child policies from other countries, even if in that case the state also intrudes in the individual rights by extracting money from them.

That policy also results in some kind of reverse eugenics, because the more responsible people delay having more children until having the financial means to raise them, but because they are forced to pay higher taxes they must delay even more, while some of the least responsible people choose to have as many children as possible, with the hope of sustaining the family only or mainly from the state aid.

In my opinion all kinds of potential abuse from a government must be questioned, not only those for which there exists a tradition to be criticized.
Er but that’s the truth, no? And if the truth is damning for Facebook and Instagram and Google, well that’s what those companies chose as their business model
They already failed at 2 as very few Han Chinese bother to have more than 1 kid. Now they double down to 3. Good luck realizing it is not working and they will have to either go for 19th century expansionist policy, or cloning. There is the force mandate they can try, hard to see people doing it and then sustain to full term and birth with the threat lingering. Chinese are herd mentality sheep. If just a few decide no go than 1, entire billion people will do so. They will have to start executing people for failing to have 3 by 40yrs old, dystopian imagination which I don't see getting implemented in modern times.

I agree. From what I understand from Chinese friends, this is sort of an irrelevant move. Chinese culture demands fully supporting your children financially throughout their adult lives, including fully financing education, purchasing homes for them, and purchasing vehicles for them. As you might expect, this is extremely expensive and difficult to scale up to 3 kids.

> Modern digital audio stacks in consumer OSes are still completely terrible at this. Not that it's an easy problem to solve.

Honestly, the only OS that's truly bad at this is Windows. DirectSound is laggy and highly limited in it's capabilities, and even a nice ASIO won't fully alleviate your issues. Your best bet is to get a DAC and hope for the best. Besides that, I've found Linux and MacOS to be very similar in terms of latency, out of the box. However, I've found that tuning Linux with a custom low-latency kernel absolutely destroys CoreAudio's latency. Given that it's something most people won't be doing, I think it's fair to say that both OSes are tied, but I still give the edge to Linux for having a more modular and adaptable sound backend.
I guess that's what happens when you start late. Everyone else has their moats in place and you either 1) start from scratch at hardware level and develop a new phone from the ground up - electronics, OS, utility apps, dev tools or 2) focus on creating the next platform.

Both are really high cost, complex, multi-year bets with lots of moving parts and no real hint of consumer adoption/market size until way after the ship's sailed.

In my opinion, as a consumer, they're really on the path to make VR happen and their wrist-based tech and Oculus is very promising. What VR still needs, after all those years since it's been accessible to the general public, is a killer app, and one can only guess why no one has developed it yet.

In the past, we had paid social media (kind of) with services like CompuServe, AOL, etc.

People tended to self-segment by demographics. Also, there was more than one network to choose from, since things were segmented by which internet connection you had. (This was also the heyday of BBS’s and Usenet, which probably wasn’t a coincidence.)

Maybe having N vertically integrated communities with different norms is better than what facebook, twitter, etc built via their horizontally-integrated services.

Doing this creates an inconvenience for Europe.
The Russians like it when Europe has inconveniences.
It also (in)directly shows support for Belarus, forcing the dictator of that country to become even more reliant on Russia/Putin than he already was, and European sanctions play into this.
This way Belarus continues to be a buffer state between the EU and Russia, maintaining the status quo in that region for now.
It is a low-risk move for Russia, while having the potential to pay-off in the future should Belarus ever need any favors.

“This has been experimentally proven in rodents”

If you are talking about the rat park[0] series of experiments, that conclusion has hardly been “experimentally proven.” There are many replication issues and the authors themselves don’t support the popular conclusion often taken from their research.

Even $0.01 per play isn't enough to meaningfully fund artists. $3000/month means 300k plays per month. You'll need a lot of good songs that get at least 5k plays per month to get anywhere. With $0.002 it is basically hopeless for anyone who can't get 1.5 million plays per month and we aren't talking about a nice salary to begin with, just enough to get by as a struggling artist.

So yeah the business model isn't enough, the fact that some very popular artists can make it work is actually the exception that proves the rule, everyone else needs funding outside of Spotify.
Considering that some reverse engineering projects have received DMCAs on GitHub, it would be better to publish only a patch file, not full game, even if it is freeware.
Another comment here suggested that non-free social media would see rich people getting wider distribution.

And I think that's exactly what would happen.

Freemium dating sites let you use the most basic features for free, but to actually reach more than a few potential dates, you have to pay.

Freemium social media might also do the same. For free, maybe you get sent to just a few of your closest friends. For money, you can be sent to all your friends and random strangers.

And perhaps you have access to flashier messages and better icons. Perhaps meme/picture posting is limited for free.

It's easy to think that the users would just go elsewhere, but if Facebook can't afford to operate without tricks like that, smaller sites have even less chance.

And once that door is opened, it quickly gets wider and wider. Look at DLC and IAP in games now. It used to be non-existent. And then "horse armor" appeared and sold like hotcakes, despite all the protests. From there, we ended up with gacha games that absolutely abuse people with certain mental instabilities, often when they have money to burn, but often even when they don't.

As much as I hate ads, I'd hate to see social media get worse.

As chinese there's a sense that we should keep our head down in favor of the harmony. But I've come to realize this isn't enough we should let the truth speak louder. Keep fighting the good fight.

Micropayments are much harder than most people realize. It's not at all hard to design a system that can handle the actual payment part of micropayments. It's the legal environment around micropayments that is hard.

A big problem is taxes. If I'm in jurisdiction X and your site is in jurisdiction Y and I pay you for access to an article, X may consider that a sale in X and want you to pay VAT or sales tax.

Even if you don't meet the minimum volume requirement that a X has before taxes kick in, many jurisdictions still require you to register with them and file quarterly reports if you have any sales there. (And minimums are often of the form at least $S in sales or T transactions. In many US states T is 100 or 200, so you could end up owing tax on a few dollars total of microtransactions).
While a libertarian's nightmare, might make filing taxes a dream! All about perspective.
