Haha, looks like we have similar equipment (I posted my gear, by request, elsewhere in the thread—also Keychron and Logitech, but different models).

I've got a set of Jabra Bluetooth headphones, and I don't see the problem you do with disconnecting my Keychron, but they do like to connect to all my devices at once, but then are only capable of actually listening to one at a time and tend to get "stuck" on whatever the latest thing was to make a noise. Pair that with the fact that notifications exist and often make noise, and I not-infrequently have it switch away from music or YouTube or a video call or whatever to some other device that just made a notification sound, then get stuck on that device.

If you haven't, you might look into power savings settings for your keyboard. You can change some of that stuff with key combos. I'm sure it's documented on the Keychron site, but a lot of it was printed on a card that came with it, too. I had some powersavings-related annoyances that I solved by basically shutting off sleep mode. Battery life's still acceptable, so no big deal (for me—some people might need weeks and weeks on a charge).

One of the problems here is that few sites support U2F, and even fewer support it properly.

Proper support would mean allowing multiple tokens, so that you can have one permanently on your keychain, one permanently in your computer at home, and an off site backup pair that you rotate (enroll the one that is at home, then swap and enroll the other one).

On desktop, touching a U2F token is a lot easier than typing numbers from a SMS, and it actually protects against one of the biggest threats, phishing (the SMS does not - if the phisher bothers to ask for it, the user, who thinks that they're logging into the legit web site, will enter it).
He is not objecting it.
I think it should be seen in context of automotive manufacturing supply chains, just in time delivery and all that. There are still much automotive manufacturing in Europe and transporting a vital part of an electric car all the way from Asia might not make sense from a supply chain perspective?
I'd strongly recommend Christina Maslach (creator of the Maslach Burnout Inventory) and Michael P. Leiter's "Understanding the burnout experience: recent research and its implications for psychiatry"

Particularly the sections on definition and treatment:

Burnout is a psychological syndrome emerging as a prolonged response to chronic interpersonal stressors on the job. The three key dimensions of this response are an overwhelming exhaustion, feelings of cynicism and detachment from the job, and a sense of ineffectiveness and lack of accomplishment. The significance of this three‐dimensional model is that it clearly places the individual stress experience within a social context and involves the person's conception of both self and others.

And:

The personal and organizational costs of burnout have led to proposals for various intervention strategies. Some try to treat burnout after it has occurred, while others focus on how to prevent burnout by promoting engagement. Intervention may occur on the level of the individual, workgroup, or an entire organization. In general, the primary emphasis has been on individual strategies, rather than social or organizational ones, despite the research evidence for the primary role of situational factors.

How is Apple different than Amazon? Humans are bad at things we can’t touch.

Imagine all physical goods shops had to be listed through a “Microsoft shop store” if you’re using the Edge browser. You can’t. Because that’d be dumb.

But hey Apple made the phone and we sign away our soul and first born when it comes to software. So it follows Apple can keep all, all, every, globally, software vendor or creator or hobbyist from putting an app on “their” phone unless it goes through Apple.

Nobody should take any reporting about EU in the UK press at face value.
This is a classic example of an externality. You use regulations or lawsuits to force the costs back onto the decision makers. Make it so people can collect damages from outages, the company then needs insurance to cover the potential costs of an outage; if the savings from removing a redundancy exceed the increase in insurance premium then it is actually efficient, otherwise it is a net negative. While an actuarian may make a mistake and underestimate the likelihood of an outage, they are far less incentivized to do so than the MBA looking for a bigger bonus.
I don't know about iOS, but the file picker on Android is fine. Live streaming through Javascript is also no harder than live streaming through native libraries. Granted, there may be less "official" SDKs out there because the web is an open ecosystem, but still.

Jitsi and Kickstarter have quite competent streaming systems. I remember being amazed by the incredibly low latency the Kickstarter streaming system has (always sub 100ms between camera and my screen across the Atlantic with good quality!).

An app for uploading images and videos, writing text posts, receiving payment and streaming video doesn't need a native app. If there is a choice between giving an absurd percentage to Apple or building a web version, the web version makes a lot more sense.

However, even if they build out a web version right now, Apple will refuse any update pointing users towards the web version of any app because that goes against their TOS. That will make any switch quite difficult.
>I hesitate to say the risk of bladder injury from a normal psychiatric dose of ketamine is literally zero.

The author's hesitation to make such a claim is very important to this quote.
The emails from the testimony indicate they wanted only a $1 billion run rate. They have a $4+ billion run rate. Do we really think it costs them $1-4 billion to run the apps store? I'd be shocked it cost even $100 million a year to run it.

The excuse that the 30% cut exists to pay for the costs of running the store seem absurd.
Exactly.

Making "notBefore" inclusive but "notAfter" exclusive is inconsistent and IMHO confusing. If the end time should be exclusive then it should be called "until" instead of "notAfter".
The big difference is that bitcoin's scripting language is not turing complete. This is a security and scalability trade off that the bitcoin community isn't willing to compromise on, which drove people like Vitalik (started as a bitcoin dev) away to start Ethereum.

Taproot is also a rad upgrade that is going to improve bitcoin's layer one scripting in some interesting ways, https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/taproot-coming-what-it...

I haven't looked into this much, but there are projects like Rootstock, https://www.rsk.co/, that essentially recreate all of Ethereum's functionality as a bitcoin sidechain.
First of all, I don't understand why the French government wants to do that - it's quite ridiculous. However, I also suspect that it has to do this kind of public stunt to satisfy the conservative right wing, especially with the presidential election next year.

Furthermore, I think you are missing something quite fundamental here - French is pretty much one of the core building blocks of France, and no, this is not obvious. 150 years ago, not many people spoke French in France : they spoke Basque, Breton, Occitan, Corsican, Alsacian, and various forms of patois. What brought French everywhere was compulsory education led by missionary style teachers, world war I, and forbidding people from speaking their regional language. In essence, the language was a political tool to unify the country, and the French never stopped considering language as a political tool.

You may assume that this is 'arrogant nationalist French' behavior, but I will disagree.

Cheap money forces it to find a home that generates a 7%+ return. Cheap money reduces the number of asset classes that can guarantee (within reason) those returns to Housing and Stocks (and Crypto of course). Buying a home becomes out of reach for more people. In addition, low inflation also suppresses wage growth. As house prices increase (just look at Blackrock's purchase of residential property at 30-50% premiums) rents will also increase because professional landlords are seeking a 7% return and if the property changes hands at a 10% lift then rent-asked for that property will also rise. This leads to a situation of unaffordable housing (exaggerated by lack of new supply coming in line in places like California) in the face of low wage growth - this leads to homeless-ness. IMO.
This is exactly what I'm thinking.

I'm kind of exasperated with all of these apps / developers who know what they're getting into when they create developer accounts with Apple, go through all of the hard work and expense of developing apps for the App Store only to whine and tweet histrionics about how they don't like the rules after the fact.

If you want total freedom to do whatever the hell you want, there's a platform for that called Android or Windows.
This whole notion that Apple, by virtue of creating a platform, needs to cash in on every use of the platform really needs to go. Even IBM in the mainframe era knew not to charge transaction fees on what runs on the platform. The reason you create great APIs is to get developers to support your platform is so people will buy your platform. Without app developers, Apple is only what it can provide and probably not as popular. Those court released e-mails are going to keep showing people how wrong Apple's thinking is.

If Apple is the payment processor than so be it, but if they have nothing to do with the transaction, they deserve no money. Even saying that its an app in the App Store is lame because there is no other way to get apps on the platform. Even free apps help Apple to sell their wares.
Yeah I have experienced the crankiness - just wondered if there are other things too?
Millions of individual torrents is not a great solution. Keeping them all seeded is basically impossible unless they run a seed for each one, at which point they might as well just host the files. Plus you'll never get the economy of scale that makes BitTorrent really shine.

When you have a whole lot of tiny files that people will generally only want one or two of there isn't much better than a plain old website.

A torrent that hosts all of the papers could be useful for people who want to make sure the data can't be lost by a single police raid.

I believe it's come into fashion again with the rise of legal sportsbook in the US (DraftKings, etc). Particulaly, with the fascination over long shot "parlays" or chain bets that can achieve very high payouts with very little outlays. Better odds than buying a lottery ticket by far, or so it is perceived.

I think you have to have a few jokers short of a full deck to get into sports gaming and expect any outcome other than ruin. But the parlays are interesting. And the simplicity one could devise a winning strategy is enticing.

Consider a typical NBA season: 120 game nights, about 8 games per night. Let's say you constructed a parlay strategy in which you pick the under to hit on every game played that night. If the payout is large, say $1000 for a $3 bet. That's $360 for the season risk. And a high probability that eventually it'll cash ;)

Not really. Apple has always had a policy of only supporting features that perform as intended.

Low fidelity “fallback” versions are simply not part of Apple’s approach to design.
Notifications and icons are pretty big for me.
The advantage with the phone is that the web site operator can pawn off the difficult recovery part on your mobile provider (go there, show ID, get a new SIM).

IMO both the mobile provider and the web site operator should be jointly liable for damages resulting from SMS 2FA abuse. The mobile operator for giving access to your phone number to an unauthorized person, the web site operator for using a known insecure technique.

Both the number of successful hijackings and companies using SMS 2FA would drop drastically.
More like not enough money. Netflix and Spotify leaving the App Store would be a big deal and piss off a lot of consumers. Months old startup a handful have heard of? Perfect to extort in Apple's eyes.
Yeah, the iPad is a great container for terrible software. No worries about Zoom backdooring your computer and leaving stuff all over the place.

I don’t really need unified control for this, though. The iPad just sits nicely on the desk for however long the stupid meetings are, and these apps are not interactive enough for having to lift a hand to be much of a pain.
Or Ido.
Are there any organizations out there that actually make multiple versions of their product and deploy it together, in real time, all the while being completely agnostic to the end user?

I've been playing Angband off and on since the mid 80's when it's ancestor, Moria, hit the DECUS tapes and we'd run it on our VAX.

I can't speak historically as to what it may or may not have pioneered in roguelikes, but it's varies dramatically philosophically from the likes of Nethack and its bottomless trivia and tricks. Angband is more straightforward.

Angband, with its Tolkien theme, has large maps, hordes of monsters, frightening uniques, a large amount of ancient artifacts and has its gameplay centered around a town that you routinely travel to in order to refresh and reload.

There are lots of variants from "Vanilla" as its called. Different themes, different mechanics, different character classes. I don't follow the space to know if there are a lot of Nethack variants the like that Angband has spawned.

In a game that favors cautious advance (it's not uncommon to fully recover after an encounter), the recent edition introduced a new Blackguard class that's more momentum based in that once in combat, you'd like to sustain combat to get more powerful, and stronger. It's a nice change of pace from the classic characters and play styles.

It's actively maintained and has a passionate community.

Agreed, there's something special about LISPs I can't quite put my finger on. Which is kind of funny, because I've never used any lisp professionally and I don't think there are very many use cases I'd use one for.

Maybe SICP is just an unreasonably excellent book?
IPFS seems like a perfect fit for this and some of the scihub torrents are already in IPFS, but it's not an anonymous network.

IPFS via the DHT tells the network of your whole network topology, including internal address you may have, and VPN endpoints too. It's all public by design as they don't want to associate IPFS with piracy per one of their developers.

I'm just saying that, sure, that $500mn purchase doesn't exclusively benefit Americans, but if you want to force all Americans to 'Buy American,' don't be surprised when your employer's earnings/valuation go down because foreign customers stop buying their products as their economies shrink.

If your argument is that we should 'Buy American' to subsidize low-skill/low-income workers while limiting the earning potential of high-skill/high-income workers, then I dig it, but honestly the easier/better solution is a more progressive tax regime/welfare state.
That is all in service of getting people to buy their phones. Those are no value added to the developer, they are restrictions on the developer so Apple can make statements about its ecosystem.
> you can create a system that will allow you maintain and apply your presentation layer in an efficient, extensible, consistent and reusable way.

If that is your intention, typescript is a better tool for the job: you get type safety, ide autocomplete, tests (have you ever written a test for css?). You are right, being a domain specific solution is a benefit, but that has nothing to do with how good of a system you can make with it. I'm sure it's possible to write a system in typescript that would be as good as what you describe, but it will be more flexible at expense of being slower.

> This eliminates several steps of the process, which has the added benefit of reducing the number of places where something can go wrong.

It actually also removes some advantages. The author fails to point that out, but the advantage of these small steps is that you can roll back to the previous version at any time without loosing writes. If you find a production bug that does not impact data consistency, you can go back one version without loosing the writes that happened while the new version was up.

> To put this in context: say you guarantee 99.9% uptime - that's still 43.2 min / month of downtime available to you!

On the other hand, there might be a fatal bug at some point and you will need 3 hours of leeway to get up & running again. Shutting down is surely the easier method, but the available downtime is usually not free real estate for updates.
It's worth noting that this is a very old distribution of it; Arc now runs on Racket.
A neighbor was complaining just the other day about a developer want to build two houses on a sliver of land in our small historic town. I've got no reason to support this. There's space to build an apartment building near me but no one want to do that (a building, in fact, burned down a while back and hasn't been rebuilt).

Neighbors want no development. Developers want to build more of the ubber expensive houses the neighbors want to protect. You need regulations that encourage dense, ideally very dense, housing. Enough dense housing and you can "preserve the character" (if not the home values) of the smallish towns.
Yes, I've added that and added the date now- I assume it's from 2009 since that's the last announcement I could find.
