"Perform as intended" would imply an intention, which is what GP is talking about. Low fidelity is a reality of rendering on older devices. Apple should intend to render on them.

Certain features will obviously not work across devices but that is an artifact of the big change in device architecture.

The mentality that you're suggesting is akin to saying (for example) that desktops won't be supported on any display smaller than a given Retina resolution. That would be anti-consumer and totally unacceptable.

Hypothetically, the suggestion from Apple that they would stop supporting features on laptops that are currently for sale because they are "fallback" devices would be the height of arrogance and would piss off a lot of smart people who have each spent thousands and thousands on Apple devices over the past decade.
I understand that it's hard in the edge cases, but a port followed by account recovery within a short period of time should be enough of a red flag to immediately lock the account.
No they don’t since they don’t give the option. It sucks that Apple isn’t giving them the option to just not allow In-app purchases at all when there’s Patreon.

Tracking pixels and tracking links only work because there are unique identifiers in the URL. So if you just reference the image's direct link in the HTML of the email there's really no information to be gleaned outside of the normal email server handshake.

However, when Google proxies the image in an email, there is no way for the user to know the original URL and see if it has a unique identifier or not.
You're getting hammered for your comment, but you're not wrong. This article is far more political than economic. It's politics is attack the rich; and as for its economics, it's a lot of neo-Keynesian trash.

The article claims that savings by the rich is fueling both consumer debt and government debt, when in fact it's closer to the other way around. Government debt — monetary policies that inflate the money supply via government debt — is fueling profligate consumer spending with cheap consumer credit made available by easy-money policies.

The ignorance here is destructive.
Just adding on to this thread as a fairly new lisp enthusiast. I picked up SICP during the pandemic and have really fallen in the lisp rabbit hole and it has been super fun.

I’ve mostly been toying with scheme (guile) and a bit of clojure.
They also do not allow you to mention or even imply the existence of their fee. Nor do they allow you to so much as link to an external website that provides other payment options, nor mention the existence of such a website.
I'm French and honestly I don't really care that much about that but for some reason if I had to choose, I'd rather have EU things done in German for example than English, that would make much more sense to me (even though I speak some English and really no German).
Happened to me as well. I found out who the actual people who hijacked it due to their poor operational security awareness. Found out they did this to someone every 2 weeks. Nobody cared as they successfully stole $0. I've watched the news to see if they were ever caught; I assume they are still doing it to this day.
They are not required to accept them, OnlyFans is doing it just fine without Apple. They chose to be in Apple's platform. Voluntarily.
Not just dominant. If Microsoft had the only software store and mandated app distribution through the store. It is an important different.
Your comment looks like it disagrees, but actually you are both agreeing that thermal noise is not the only noise source and that other design factors matter.

For other readers: some resistors have much lower flicker noise[1] where “wire-wound resistors have the least amount of flicker noise. Since flicker noise is related to the level of DC, if the current is kept low, thermal noise will be the predominant effect in the resistor, and the type of resistor used may not affect noise levels, depending on the frequency window.”

> The majority of emails are never opened. So why would an email service greatly increase their complexity and costs by downloading images no one would otherwise ever see

If gmail and some of the other large providers started doing this, people would just stop using tracking pixels because they would no longer work. So less stuff for gmail to proxy.

Then emails would only contain "legit" images, which would be shared across many emails. e.g, you send 100,000 emails with an image that has no tracking information, gmail only needs to downloads it once. And why would a sender choose to serve 100,000 copies of the same image from slightly different URLs, when they can just serve it up once?

The gains are obvious and would be large if you ask me. The scale of the costs, debatable, imo.
I believe this is the project mentioned

Hello can you please stop creating fake accounts with the purpose of boosting your post here. This is otherwise something interesting but im immediately turned off from ever even looking at it if this is how you try and promote your product.
Exactly. Parents bought a house in relatively scarcely populated area. Then 10000 neighbours moved in. Now they own the largest property in the neighborhood. Guess what that does with the price...
I am quite sure they do. But the point was that those EU institutions will revert to using English as their main working language as they have been before the French turn at presidency of the EU begins.
Tor works well for me so far
I wish they would just let me remotely login to my phone and tablet from my mac
Universal Control looks interesting, but it also saddens me because it makes me think that target display mode will never be coming back.
I hate to be That Guy, but Apple doesn't care how much money you keep vs. how much money you pay others when you accept In-App Payments. If you paid 90% of your IaP revenues to the power company instead of to content creators, Apple has no way of knowing this. It just would mean that your business has no hope of being profitable.

Fanhouse can still pass IaP revenues onto their customers ("creators"), but they're going to end up giving them 63% of their IaP revenue (90% of 70%) instead of 90%.

This is a business problem disguised as a justice issue.
Ah, but IIS uses it so it probably is still floating around somewhere.
I think you're interpretation is correct and GP is wrong to think the "primary driver of the Fed is stopping prices from increasing too fast."
Fed has recently repeatedly stated it's goal is to drive down unemployment and is willing to let inflation run hot to achieve that. It's always a balancing act if one of them is worse than the other, they will focus on that. However it looks like when both of them are bad, they would rather focus on unemployment by letting inflation hit harder.
Many big tech companies (and individual products within the company) rotate oncall/release/SRE responsibilities between NA and EU. HQ doesn't need to be awake in these cases.
Looks great. Do you have any real example with the cost estimation?
I disagree about one partly. It’s two (well 3 really) clicks to add a PWA to the Home Screen. I would describe it more as having friction than not being easy.
The NYT piece didn't even say that; it said that he supported genocide (??), which is similar, but I don't remember it saying that he courted neo-Nazis. (Or was that one of the heavily-implied things I was oblivious to?)
Hey, congrats on the launch! it seems really nice and helpful. I was thinking of creating something similar for the communication channels of my SAAS applications.

Is this product for small size businesses? Does it need a single cloud vm or it need several servers and services, a ton of configuration and an IT degree to manage it?
It's weird, people say the same things whether it's condos or apartments. Where I live, they will typically be derided as "luxury condos" despite being less than half the price of detached homes in the area.

(One of my more heretical opinions is that homes and land shouldn't be considered investments, and should perhaps not be a method of wealth building, as it turns every person into an investor whether they want to be or not. Which fuels regular people to take control of the local political processes that block new homes with talk of "luxury condos" and "stack and pack." If we are going to do something like this I'd favor a sovereign wealth REIT that redistributes the wealth more evenly and removed the financial incentive to be anti-competitive in land use decisions. That, or tax away all profits from speculation on land gains.)
It's evil.
>The comparison would be: imagine if Microsoft had a dominant software store tightly bound to Windows, and for any software applications sold through that store - for use on your Windows machine - Microsoft took a 30% cut of that sale.

Well for that comparison to work, we'd also have to assume Microsoft disabled installing unsigned software as well. Which is what Apple does today.

>Apple isn't taking 30% of every purchase you make online because you use an iPhone to shop on Amazon or Walmart

They try on digital goods, this is why Amazon has disabled buying ebooks in the iOS app, and asks you to open your web browser instead [1].

They do not have a monopoly. 50% or more of the population chose to be in Apple's walled garden. They knew the rules, they knew what they were buying. Some people don't want to be in Apple's walled garden, so they buy Android. Businesses tend to prefer Apple's ecosystem because sales data has shown that Apple's customers tend to pay more for applications and services - so they're coveted customers.
There's also good ol' (newish?) WireGuard on a relay VPS. But I understand how it'd be another extra step that could get in the way for someone unfamiliar with the tech.
This seems like cherry-picking. Quackery doesn't care about regulation (for example, hydroxychloroquine is prescription-only in the US), and shady hucksters abound in all industries (including ours; look at all the meaningless "threat intelligence" hype).

You could also just as easily look at the situation where poultry practices banned in Europe are the norm everywhere in the single-hand-countable poultry producers in the US, or the "regulation" they apply to tobacco products (which kill 7x more than opiates in the USA). It's a farce.

The FDA isn't doing what they ostensibly exist to do, and they are doing a whole bunch of stuff they're not. It's the worst of both worlds.
The Non-Linear Model of Innovation
Isn't scihub/libgen already backed by torrents? I'm confused.
How is computing not a market??

Computing covers many of the things people do in a modern society, including:

- Communication

- Banking

- Investing & trading

- Finding information

- Applying to jobs

In what world is that not a critical market?
They have a monopoly on devices running iOS apps, and a monopoly on channels to deliver mobile software to anyone who uses an iPhone (i.e. either their App Store or Safari).
I can't stand building for iOS Safari. It is the pain-point in so much of my development.
Isn't scihub already on IPFS?
Wow did not know this
Does having private fields mean we can securely minify them?
It is in fact on the fly when you open it.

All Gmail does is proxy the request to hide your IP from the server hosting the image file. Gmail does not change the timing of the request, the URL, or the image file.
Beautiful. Orig photo?
I have not really looked into its contents, but a course that suggests Christopher Nolan's "Memento" as additional material certainly sounds interesting.
It suggests it only as long as someone doesn't read the article.

The way I read it, they were trying to communicate the fact that a customer fiddling with their own configuration brought down large swathes of the internet for everybody else. That absolutely deserves to be in the headline.
My problem with that, and this article, is that it doesn't say what dosage does that?

It just skips right on to meth, and dosages, and never mentions Ketamine again.

We get that 280mg a month mostly doesn't, and 90,000mg a month can.

But are these "party people" the same as the people doing that higher amount prorated to daily? More specifically, are the "party people" I've been around secretly having bladder problems and getting a hole in their belly and not really ubering home but ubering to the hospital?

Let me know when you, or anyone passing by, find that article
This is a perfectly reasonable position to take, however a lot of people are very needy, wanting to be handheld through support beyond a reasonable limit, or demanding that you implement x or y because they need it, and want you to do it for them for free.
Libgen's coverage is definitely more shallow than scihub, but it is still pretty good.
Show/Ask HN: Latex to audiobook – improving a hacked together proof of concept
I quickly hacked this together as a PoC to see if Google Cloud TTS's WaveNet voice was "good enough" for reviewing my thesis writing on the go in audio form.

It works quite well, I noticed a bunch of writing errors that I hadn't picked up visually. And it's just about listenable enough that I can see this being a good way to reduce some screen time while the weather is good.

The code is obviously pretty terrible as a starting point for anything more complete or complex though :)

Does this idea resonate with you? How would you suggest rewriting it? What features would you add next? Have you already seen this done better (I couldn't find much prior art)?
I agree with you. At least I've never been offended by anyone for not replying to issues raised in my repositories. And a few of my libraries are downloaded millions of times per week from NPM (which is not that uncommon on NPM, but still).

That really bad support didn't lead to any actively maintained fork, though. So I guess it's all stable enough for people to still depend on it in their new projects.
I live in Edinburgh in Scotland. Best feature is tenement flats with shops or bars below. Old town is especially mixed use and it's brilliant because of it.
There are lots of Nethack variants! There's a Nethack tournament called Junethack going on right now where competitors can play like at least 10 different variants or something.
I believe you misunderstood Eisenhower's intent if you believe it applies to a science project like this.

> In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex.

The key there is "unwarranted influence". AR toys are not a tail wagging the dog. It's not the military overstepping the extremely limited boundaries in which it should be operating.

To muddy the waters by bringing it up with every little acquisition the military does harms the wholly justified effort to restrain and constrain the military industrial complex.
They don't allow you to sign up in the app. You have to sign-up and subscribe via the web. App is login only.
Yes, I heard the Uighurs lives got a lot more interesting — but not quite yet as interesting as did the Jews of Germany, when the Nazi regime lifted a nation broken by war out of its funk.

It's simply monstrous that we would compare Amazon — whatever criticisms someone might have for the company's business practices — with Communist China, and something like that needs to be called out.
>Well for that comparison to work, we'd also have to assume Microsoft disabled installing unsigned software as well.

Look no further than Xbox Store and how well you can run unsigned code on it.

Sure, you can buy a physical game copy, but there are two issues with that:

1. Diskless versions of consoles are becoming more commonplace, thus removing that option.

2. If you buy retail, it is still a cut to Microsoft, just a smaller one. Because you pay the same price for physical as you do for digital, except instead of the entire cut going to MSFT, a part of it goes to the retail establishment selling it.

And before someone says "well, this is a gaming console, not a phone/computing device", I will say that it has apps (youtube/streaming services/etc.), it has a web browser, and plenty other functionality not related to games.

So I am struggling to draw a hard line here as to why it is ok on Xbox, but not ok on smartphones (as long as there are commonplace alternatives available that would prevent it from being a monopoly, and Android is one such commonplace alternative).

EDIT: I stand corrected, apparently you can run unsigned code officially on new Xbox consoles, and I should have picked a better example. Thanks to people in the comments correcting me on this, as I genuinely had no idea you could run unsigned code on Xbox. Despite this, I believe my general argument still stands though, because the same situation with transaction cuts is happening with Sony's and Nintendo's consoles, except you cannot run unsigned code on those.
That's AWFUL! But it does explain things...
Norr means ”north”. Norrland is the Northern 2/3 of the country. It’s not formally defined but more like the “Midwest” and similar. Lapland is a part of Norrland.
While a good example of a web app that could've been a native app, there's a strong argument that they didn't decide to be web only as much as forced due to the nature of their content never being allowed in the app stores.
Good lord... I'm #2... I also play FortressCraft and Satisfactory and other games of the genre... after working on the same crap all day.

This is a big thing for me. I really do not want to give any vendor raw Payment information if I can help. Would much rather do so though a service like Apple Pay/Google Pay. And then only have to worry about that one vendor when they get a data breach then a dozen vendors and deal with a dozen data breaches.
Luckily humanity learned to build skyscrapers eons ago. You're forgetting about the many people who would easily shift to condo housing if it was 2x cheaper, but aren't because it's marginally cheaper than a SFH, and they don't want to put 3x their net worth into a condo that will probably end up financially worse than a SFH. So you still have a huge population that would live in condo's if it was more affordable. And housing pricing is all about the margins of the market, so you fix that imbalance and you make the housing market a whole lot more healthy.
You can easily use another platform instead of Fanhouse (users can easily go on another website or app).

You can't easily use another delivery method for apps to iPhone users (that would require iPhone users to also buy and carry an Android device, which is a massive hassle).
Please take a look at Carton too.
Median != mean. Multiplying it literally means "The value of this particular house I know nothing about times 66 millions".
you can ship both commonjs and es modules using export maps, so it doesn't have to be a breaking change. You can use export conditions.

anyone who cares enough will opt in to use es modules, of this I'm certain.

Is there a reason that is not being considered?
Japan Solves Coronavirus Crisis with Magical Math
They can't afford Cloudfront bills either.
Well, sure, but you can say, "I'm sorry, I just don't have the time to do that right now." They can then either fork the project and implement the changes themselves or better yet, step forward and ask if they can help with the maintenance of the project.

EDIT: I glossed over this part when I was reading the article, but indeed there are many open source developers who do hold this attitude:

Halliday—better known by his handle substack—takes an uncommonly hands-off approach to his work. “I have all my GitHub notification emails turned off,” he says. If someone finds a problem with his code or wants a feature added to a module he’s no longer working on, they’re free to fork his code. That is, after all, the open source way. But he doesn’t put effort into issues or pull requests for packages he considers finished. “It’s not my job to keep tabs on every little thing I wrote years or decades ago very often,” he says. “I am always busy with new projects and if I was always looking back at old projects I wouldn’t have enough time to move forward.”

I fully agree with this viewpoint and I think it's good for the overall software ecosystem if engineers did more due diligence on the packages that they use.
Let's say you use a 0.5 g dab which has a THC content of 70% (most dabs are either 1-gram or 0.5 g). The wax has 0.35 g (350 mg of THC), but you could lose up to one-third of it when vaporizing. If this happens, you’ll end up with roughly 235 mg of THC per hit (if you can finish the whole dab in one hit).

Someone without a THC tolerance will be completely satisfied with a 5mg dose, total.

Thats 47 doses out of the 236mg the stoner _absorbed_
She gets 10% if creators choose to use her service as opposed to the dozens of other similar services, some of which charge more and some of which charge less. Hence, there is no antitrust issue.

OTOH, App developers don't get a choice for iOS. They must use Apple's payment system. They don't have a variety of payment processors to choose from. There is no market determining whether 30% is fair, and that is why antitrust regulations may apply.

What if I want to start an app that helps creators manage their Fanhouse content? Should I ask Fanhouse for a cut of their fees so that I can pass on 90% of gross earnings to creator?

That is how many B2B relationships actually work; you've described a referral arrangement in which one company refers a paying customer to another company and in exchange for their referral they get paid a percent of the revenue derived from it.
If it's just one or a handful of emails, or a small image, attach the image and use it's Content ID to refer to it in the HTML of the email:

Since I wasn't sure if this is just what their ToS claim or how it's handled in practice, I googled a bit, and found this case:
