While I dislike this attitude from non-programmers, I despise it from my peers and it seems to be universal across the spectrum except, maybe, older programmers (> 50) who seem to have a better sense of the value they're getting.

Peer: "You paid $30?!?! For an app?!?!" (I think it was OmniFocus)

Me: "Umm, yeah, because it's good and I use it literally every day across all my devices" (At the time I'd just ditched my Windows gaming PC, and my Linux instances were all VPSes or similar)

Peer: "But it's an app!" (like shouting louder explains something)

Me: "Right, which is what we make. You should understand, more than most, the actual work that goes into something like this."

Peer: Shaking head "But it's an app..." wanders off confused
> In Germany an income of 80k EUR will put you into the top 10% of all earners, so you will be upper class.

Upper middle class maybe. People in the upper class don't need to work.
I recommend actually reading this, it was amazing and surreal
I used to have issues, but the simple fix is this:

Instead of simply saving the signed PDF in preview and sending it out, export the PDF as another PDF (there’s an option to do that in the File dropdown).

I’ve found that doing that fixes all comparability issues (based on signing 5-10 docs a week).

Edit: Before someone tells me I should be using Acrobat, I know, but for some reason it runs painful slow on the new Apple M1’s.
I'm sure 100k is a lot in rural Alabama as well. How about giving numbers for say Munich[1] ?

> Also from the diagram, 75% of the population are earning less than 10,400 EUR while 25% are earning more than 10,400 EUR.

If 25% of the city is making more money than you you are not rich by any definition.

I have friends living in Munich, friend is a SW engineer, makes 75k, his wife has her own business so I'm not sure how much she makes, they are very much middle class lifestyle and can't afford to live in the wealthy areas.

Sorry to burst your bubble but you're not rich if you make 80k/year, you're just (maybe upper) middle class, even in EU.

I have a question (to everyone) that is a bit off topic.

How are you housekeeping your photo library? I'm hosting mine in iCloud, and its size is increasing year after year. I'm close to the 150-200 GB of photos/videos. Deleting photos or videos manually would take a lot of time. How do you do it?
I've turned off location tagging on my Android camera. That setting exists.
Despite the manifold sins of imperialism, the US remains the true vanguard of the revolution of the past two centuries - of the liberation of common folk from the twin yolks of tradition and absolutism. We should continue trying to export our social justice there, and the moral argument for confronting China remains, to me, the most compelling.
This will bring only good things to the ecosystem. Your app can’t support itself without tracking, and your users don’t want to pay? Maybe your app doesn’t provide as much value as you think. Advertising is a race to the bottom, so kudos to Apple for raising the bar for everybody.
What about guided missiles? Once the instruction to kill is given, they hone into the target autonomously.

I guess missiles are given an order for a specific aircraft.
I wonder when they will have an infinity child mandate.

Surely that will solve their demographic problems.
What does Putin get out of this? I feel like such a strong show of support for Lukashenko on this issue (above the existing general level of support) probably has some pretty significant strings attached.
Noted. That doesn't change or answer the question though. I am curious if there is a real movement for protection in China with any real power.
Preview shouldn't be trusted for legal documents ?

I would call that Apple bashing nonsense.

Mac, Windows, Linux, BSD ... if you're going to go signing legal documents (a) with a self-signed certificate (b) without an independently traceable timestamp .... then frankly don't expect it to hold up for long in a law court.
You get a choice there, unlike your isp and credit cards :)
Facebook still knows lots of stuff about your location. You have recently liked a business nearby. You're in a Facebook group about your area, etc
> Does it not follow then that advertisers are saving billions of dollars?

No — if the targeting is less effective, the advertisers are not getting the same incremental value from the ads.

The ads are cheap, but draw in less total revenue for the company, saving nothing. The bid prices are just lower on untargeted ad slots, adjusting to the lower CPM / lower lift.

Edit: Truly, the best part of HN are the Dunning-Kruger programmers who once read a substack post about advertising, and now believe they have deep hidden insight that a hundred thousand marketing professionals, running marketing campaigns as their job, every day, have not figured out — aha, internet advertising doesn't work!
> Why can't governments make tracking illegal?

Because they're not really in charge anymore.

Well, the parent post was saying that people were initially hesitant to move to credit systems, so I'm confused. :)

If we're talking specifically about credit cards, the credit card went from new invention to ubiquity in a couple of decades. But I think that's too narrow a scope to look at, to be honest.

Early credit systems did not depend upon the printing press; think of the widespread use of tally sticks in medieval Europe to enable illiterate low-technology credit systems.

It's really hard to approach this anthropologically, IMO, because so many other variables change. Less complex economies do fine with "local communism" and person-to-person debt, but it's hard to imagine using such a thing to order from Amazon. Conversely, coinage historically was useful if you had to exchange with someone with whom you didn't have a personal relationship (say, you're traveling to a faraway land and you can't just provide an IOU), but that's somewhat obsolete now.

I guess my conclusion would be that these historical analogies don't shed a lot of light.
I've never found a benefit in "Personalized ads" because they have never been something that I am interested in, it seems to really mean "we can charge the brands more for this ad". There is a ton of stuff I would willingly pay for but it never seems to be what people want to advertise to me

Right, an NFT of off-chain property represents ownership of...the NFT. Its value is reliant on a community ascribing value to it. There are real world analogs to this type of ownership, but it's not as revolutionary as breathless NFT fans are making it out to be.

Agreed on the unlikelihood of NFTs supplanting event tickets. I'm just speculating on the type of novel product/ecosystem the technology enables. But building a compelling experience around this concept is a whole other challenge. It remains to be seen whether someone eventually does. Even if that happens, it doesn't mean we're talking about an entire new market of significance.
This comment feels like trolling to me...

Well, it seems that Russia is trying to play games. I just don't see how Russia can benefit from those.
> So how do you fix that? Well you’ve got to do query introspection to resolve certain queries in a more optimized way. Which tends to be more complicated than just…doing exactly what you want to do via a REST endpoint.

You're talking about having a REST endpoint which has a "prebaked" aggregate query. But this is not plausible when you serve hundreds, or even thousands of heterogenous clients. Even big organizations like Netflix quickly gave up "prebaking" thousands of REST endpoints for every usecase they had across the organization and outside it.

And aggregate query resources are an anti-pattern in REST because it denormalizes the resources. You're supposed to have one resource on one URL. Instead of one resource included in hundreds of ad-hoc aggregate collections at other URLs, each of which are cached (and go out of sync) independently. And if you have one resource per URL... this creates the mother of all N+1 problems automatically.

Well since Russia is now the USA's largest external supplier of oil [1], perhaps they can get the ball rolling? No need to whine at the Germans.

If you de facto deny that supernatural events can’t happen, I’d say you have some pretty strong religious beliefs. If you want to deny that, I’d say that just means you’re not particularly self aware. You can play word games all day, but at the end of the day you’re operating from a set of unproven religious presuppositions about how the world operates (naturalism) and filtering everything through that lens. But I don’t think we’re going to get any further. Good day, sir.
I recently bought a clothes dryer and took it back because of the noise (which raised a lot of eyebrows - “of course dryers make noise”). Swapped it for a different brand at about the same price point and the difference in noise is night and day, this new one is so much quieter I can’t even hear it if the laundry door is closed. Compared to the first one which was uncomfortably audible throughout the whole house...
Lol. Even this comment discussing a financial opportunity gets voted down. Ridiculous.

A lot of people are asking why a policy is even still needed - why not go for no limit at all?

1) There is an entire family planning bureaucracy within the CCP setup to manage this; would do you do with all those people if they are not needed anymore?

2) China is more strict on population planning for certain minorities - not officially, but in the background; think Muslims in western China or Tibet or Mongolians, or ethnic Koreans in northeastern China... If you had no population planning for all the Han chinese, you might have a brighter light cast on this small in number but impactful population control actions.

3) Once someone has power, why let go of it? The CCP survives by creating a fairly good life for the majority in China - and it has done that extremely well - in exchange for control. It is easier to go from 3 back to 2, than it is to go from unlimited back to 2, for example.
I thought this was about adding a digital signature with an x509 certificate, which has been a PITA for ages because of the PDF standard, plus browsers isolation from certificate stores, let alone hardware devices.
Not giving something is withholding it. I don’t see how that’s possibly misleading, it seems like the straightforward definition of the word.
Your logic doesn't make sense for why socketed fuses even exist. So why do cars have socketed fuses then? Do cars have unexpected loads? Not nearly as much as houses. Cars have socketed fuses same as houses because fuses are designed to fail and be replaced. This is the logical intention of fuses.

Making something that is designed to fail and be replaced (fuses) inaccessible is a contradictory design philosophy... Unless this design philosophy is INTENDED to make the product fail. You place a component designed to fail inside a vac and make it inaccessible then that means you are designing the vac to fail.

Phone batteries are not designed to be replaceable this is a lie or pure stupidity. You realize that glue or adhesive is not designed to be removed right? It's designed to be permanent. Screws and socketed components are designed to be removed.

Additionally the iPhone isn't even designed to be opened. It's extremely hard to open that device and it's completely obvious the reason is because that device is designed to both fail in a certain time frame and only be serviceable by apple technicians. Here's how easy it is to "replace" a battery you claim was glued into the phone as a design decision to be "replaceable": https://youtu.be/gkCyl7kRGns

>My above point is was that cost is an example of an engineering tradeoff, not that it is the only engineering tradeoff

Who in the universe isn't aware that tradeoffs outside of cost don't exist? Kind of useless if the point is to obvious. How about you address my point in the fact that deliberate decisions were made to make products fail and that these failures are not design tradeoffs.

A thinner phone for an irreplaceable battery in the iPhone is not actually a tradeoff. In fact if you look inside the phone they very much could've screwed the battery in without increasing the thickness of the phone.

You realize that Steve Jobs once said the iPod was designed to only last a year?
> There’s almost no overlap between SOAP and GraphQL

oh they're entirely similar - overly complex data transfer schemes. They both also push too much responsibility on to the client. They also have steep learning curves.

It may have started at facebook, but the graphql industry has a life of its own now. I've seen this with many technologies. People start tooling and consulting companies around some technology and start pushing it hard. If it isn't needlessly complex, why does it have its own conference?

I agree. With Thread I expect this to come to actual Apple TVs and the like in the next few years.
When Russian Tsar Peter the Great decided to build the city of St Petersburg in 1703, on the site of the Swedish fort Nyenskans in the Swedish empire's eastern province Ingermanland, with the goal of establishing a sea port into the Baltic sea, a sea that was almost the Swedish empires own pond, Sweden and Russia became geopolitical enemies and has been ever since.
That's an argument for auditing existing systems, not having Europe finance development of brand new systems to encrypt communications.
Yes, you can call a library written in Rust from C. You need to do some work to make it work, but it can be done. There was even a project to implement a libc in Rust, though I haven’t heard about it in a while, I’m not sure what it’s current state is.

That's actually a good idea. I wonder if any Android distros do this. In theory, it should be possible, but I don't know how tricky it would be to implement.
Much of the interesting work I've been able to do in the last five years is entirely due to the hard work put into PostGIS to make it an excellent open-source GIS platform.

I personally live in Hamburg, one of the most expensive cities in Germany, and I've yet to see a developer salary above 90k. Juniors enter around 40k, seniors get around 60-90k depending on experience. That's not to say that salaries beyond 100k don't exist, but they're extremely rare.

Edit: Also it's completely unclear to me how this point relates to your initial gross misrepresentation of compensation in western Europe.
I wish I had known that!
Most new Apple project are still started with ObjC, you can tell from those hiring. I mean a little less than two years ago Apple Pay team were "suggesting" doing something new written in ObjC.

My guess is that Apple dont mandate Swift no new project. And the team gets to decide. It will probably be another few years when Swift 6.0 is out before a gradual transition of news apps to Swift by default.

And I am still skeptical of Swift being a system programming language. Sometimes I wonder why Apple dont make some more minor changes and improvement to ObjC.
Or to flip the (pithy) argument: "Autonomous drones are worse, because they can declare war."
Facebook is a monopoly, in most parts of the world. I know some would claim that Twitter is a competitor, but I don't really see the two having much in common, other than being social networks.
Ha I’m also 36! To be clear I don’t mean modern games are “better” games, that’s obviously subjective. I mean that the design techniques are more advanced. Games have evolved as designers learn which mechanics and systems are more compelling. There are less rough edges, less places to get stuck… more enticing rewards, more carefully designed progression paths, etc.

This is especially true in most modern “service based” games. Fortnite is an obvious example where there are certain rewards and upgrades that can only be earned by playing every day, and playing at least X hours per season, etc.

Eh, how is Assange doing? People are being treated well in Guantanamo? Didn't Austria divert a flight on merely the suspicion that Snowden might be onboard? Or does that not count because it was just the President of Bolivia's official government jet and not a Ryanair flight?

Fair enough if you want to criticize Russia for being a kleptocracy that assassinates enemies on foreign soil, but diversion of flights to capture enemies of the state and then not treating them well in captivity is unfortunately not a hallmark of totalitarian regimes but a general feature of western statecraft as well, so let's not blow this tit-for-tat response out of proportion.
Broad location narrows you down to a neighborhood where your economic value can be inferred so the optimal ads can be directed at your way. No sense in showing Bentley ads to the poors.
It was both killing newborn infant girls, especially where there was no ultrasound, and intentional miscarriages of girls when the ultrasound was used (which is why ultrasound is illegal in some parts of China).

Both are well documented and account for the 30M extra males than females (Can’t hide this cultural bias).
Allegedly because they get subsidies from the oil states. I personally do not know if above is true. Maybe they are just more effective not having to coordinate every move with unions and not having extra costs due to some stupid political moves. Maybe both. Maybe none...
Hence my point about learning to pay. Its a mindset change for both parties involved. If your app is something people don't want to pay for, then maybe its not worth it. If you aren't willing to pay for an app you use a lot, dont expect it for free or look for other alternatives.
People recovering from a major depressive episode are at a very high risk of suicide. People who are currently depressed are usually insufficiently motivated to kill themselves.

I am in East Berlin, so I certainly disagree. And most places in the East that are single family housing are nice anyways. For example, the borough Hellersdorf-Marzahn contains the big 12-level blocks of Hellersdorf, Marzahn and Kaulsdorf-Nord with problems up and down, but also ~30k single family houses in Biesdorf, Kaulsdorf and Mahlsdorf (as well as the original village of Marzahn, not much left of Hellersdorf) that are super safe and more and more expensive.

Localities that are not so nice (but again, it depends on the exact location) are Tiergarten, Wedding, Hohenschönhausen, Weissensee, Hellersdorf, Marzahn, Neukölln (the locality). Basically, cheap places are cheap for a reason.

> No. Copyright must be explicitly assigned.

No one is talking about assigning copyright. The question is about a license to display the content on a website. I am fairly certain you have heard of non-verbal contracts before. For example, here is what the UK government has to say about an implied copyright license:

Yes, I know - we played the game within the constraints of the rules available, for better or worse as far as the development of the Community was concerned. Our political overlords have played that game forever, particularly since the UK rebate.

Strangely, that rebate was mostly because of antagonism about French support for its food industries... .

That we've still not had a resolution to our financial market's future engagement with the EU shows how fundamentally [expletive]-ing stupid and utterly short-sighted Brexit was. Idiots, all.

What stops Amazon from purchasing my data from my credit card company and other data brokers? Those recommendations are advertisements for products, and they are almost certainly informed by third-party data. You can't block cross-site tracking by any technological means when you're giving out your name, phone number, credit card, and home address -- you'd need to generate a whole new identity every time.

I agree that ublock, VPN, browser compartmentalization, etc are all really good practices. But they don't stop a first party from sharing everything they know about you, or embedding content derived from third-party brokers
