Live by the sword, die by the sword. These companies have been playing politics and lobbying all along themselves. And they only got the permit to begin with because of political winds shifting. This is the risk they take (like drilling in the arctic) when you make big bets on things that are extremely politically controversial and arguably not in the public interest (certainly not in the interest of the people whose lives are being turned upside down by eminent domain to make this possible).

So in that sense your solar installation example isn't appropriate because generally solar installations aren't that controversial, aren't built on the broken backs of people who lived there, aren't against the public interest, and don't require millions in lobbying $$ to manipulate politicians to get it done to begin with.

To my mind that backs his thesis. External factors are driving home prices in your area to increase and similarly not in his neighborhood. The existence of a blackrock investment isn’t casually linked to those prices (at least not in a simple form).

First with AirDrop, then Continuity and Handoff, and now Universal Control, Apple's ubiquitous use of Bluetooth LE and Wi-Fi direct connections to devices sharing the same iCloud account makes me wonder how exactly does Apple secure all these over the air connections. Once hacked, an attacker presumably nearby can intercept phone calls and text messages, look what's in the clipboard, what website you've been browsing, where you've been, and now even what you are typing, all done remotely without the victim even noticing. I know there's an Apple Platform Security document, but that thing reads like marketing material rather than actually explaining what actually goes on under the hood. Has there been any serious attempts at breaking these things I wonder?
Or more micro, the reversion of your homes building permit and HVAC as the unit you installed is now out of code, and some force of the government would be used to enforce your compliance, such as taxes or fines.

Well, some research venues (and publication venues) are not government-funded, and even if they are indirectly government funded, it's more of a sophistry than something which would make publishers hand over copies of the papers.

Also, a per-government ledger would not be super-practicable. But if, say, the US, the EU and China would agree on something like this, and implement it, and have a common ledger, then it would not be some a big leap to make it properly international. Maybe even UN-based.

That's a pretty big "if" though.
You can thank Epic for that recent change.
My mental model of this (and I'm not a medical expert) is that (a) for a given amount of spike protein, the immune response is similar, whether the protein originates from the vaccine or the actual virus, but (b) since the vaccine is lacking the actual health threatening properties of the virus, you can expose people to massive doses of it without incurring much risk.
>If you don't like Apple, boycott them. Easy

If your customers demand an iOS app, boycotting them is not easy. It's expensive either way.
Did you watch the show? It's not only that they were transparent, some screens took no space at all when powered off. Biggest example is their "phones".

Most, if not all, screens have useful information. Sure, maybe the unreadable small print has gibberish to fill up space for aesthetic reasons, but whatever is readable in a scene(even in the background) will usually make sense. Names of ships, status of systems, ship paths, you name it.
> The choice that people want is the ability to have other App Stores, or direct installation.

I am "people" and I absolutely do not want app developers creating their own silo'd app stores.

The last thing I want to do is download separate app stores for every major app vendor on my phone, to give them all my credit card info, to have per-store standards for warning me about privacy issues, to have different policies and UIs for managing subscriptions, etc. This is a technology nightmare.
Do you know of any good (presumably old) resources like books or articles that cover efficient economical GUIs and GUI frameworks?
The answer to both questions is... it's up to Apple. When you design and build a product it'd be up to you how you design for your revenue.

If Apple allowed side-loading apps or custom app stores that'd cost them more to build and support that functionality, and it would damage their existing functionality through extra complexity and security surface, harming their existing happy customers. They don't want to do it. Why should they? Use Android if you have a problem with it.
Been a while since I've looked at them, but IPFS with FileCoin and Ethereum Swarm had that kind of goal.

It might be beneficial to create something like what you describe without any cryptocurrency association though, and I've been mulling over possibilities for distributed systems that are inherently currency-less to avoid all of the scams that cryptocurrency attracts.

I don't think that Apple ever had a vibe as being especially great for employees. Secrecy to a level that you may not know what product you're actually working on, and heavy top down management as a result.
Nobody believes it's not ok for developers to opt in at 30% the point is that they are forcing them to do so by retaining control of devices after they have sold them.

>a reasonable choice would be to opt for languages related to cultures of more practical rationality

That's essentialist nonsense. How are German or Scandinavian cultures more « practically rational » in an empirical sense ? Is there anything to it beyond short-sighted stereotypes ? That's not even getting to the fact that rationalism and positivism have French input stamped all over it, with German philosophy generally pulling in the exact opposite direction.
Same in Canada. I am in the top 3% of wage earners in the entire country and can not "afford" to buy. Average price is > 1 million. At > 1 million, a 20% down payment is required in cash. That would basically take my well balanced portfolio into pure real estate holdings not to mention a massive tax hit to sell 200k+ of my portfolio. I used quotes in afford because I could afford it, but I feel it would be a huge mistake
Is there a market in the US where density and population growth has made land cheaper? I can't think of one.

Development increases the value of land in the long run, that's nearly tautological; investors in land will benefit from this increase just like the developers themselves do. I think there's a high likelihood that the markets for "home with land" and "condo" diverge further in the future. Increased demand and density only increases the scarcity of single family homes with actual plots of land in popular areas.

There are a lot of vacant/under-utilized properties, especially ones zoned commercial, next to high-demand residential areas in my town. The owners seem to be just sitting on the property and waiting, vs actually fully making use of it currently.

I'd go a step further: why are we arguing about single-family homes when we have homeless people camped out around unused commercial and industrial properties? That's the property that's being wasted and could most-easily be re-utilized. If you have continual high demand it will be difficult to add supply fast enough once you run out of empty surrounding land (that's the biggest difference between the big coastal cities and the Phoenix/Dallas/Atlantas of the world) because it requires demolition and higher-density construction), but at the very least if you're in that situation, attack the empty areas harder!

(Whether or not there's ANY good sustainable long-term solution for perpetual demand growth is another question entirely...)

I’m saying it was wartime and the gov officially forgave people who killed collaborators and so on. So that part is almost excusable though I still think it’s just cold blooded and not excusable.

Unfortunately no. See e.g. boulanger, cahier, etc. (Although I do believe you're correct about verbs, I wasn't able to think of any verbs that pronounce "er" irregularly).

I don't know of any regular, even semantic, rule off the top of my head that covers when it should be pronounced which way for non-verbs. I wonder if someone more versed in French etymology could find one.
I don't know that that's so clear at all. It's an oil pipeline to import canadian oil for domestic refiners. Domestic refined petroleum consumption peaked in 2018 and has been going down (and of course has cratered during the pandemic).

There's actually no good case to be made for this thing at all from current data. You have to project an increase in demand that doesn't seem to be coming.

Bottom line: this pipeline was proposed in the middle of the post-peak-oil boom in oil prices. It made sense in an imagined world of ever rising oil prices and ever larger SUVs. The world kinda moved on.

Also:

> increased dependency on oil-fracking

This is tar sand oil. While not every drop necessarily qualifies, depending on your definition, this is process-extracted secondary petroleum. It's very much in the same category as "fracked" oil in terms of extraction efficiency.
I did try rubbing some crushed powder to the bite, but could not notice any effect before I got impatient. Ketamine on my tongue has an instant numbing effect, but to my knowledge nothing transdermaly.

I took it insufflated, the short duration of action and general anesthesia makes it decently practical.

(Of course it sounds pretty silly to recommend Ketamine for a small everyday itch. But that's what I had on hand, and I happen to dislike mosquitos with a very particular intensity =] )
I was mostly just referring to the fact that team/org/company productivity does not seem reduced compared to pre-pandemic times. As far as I know, no major tech company is dealing with more outages/incidents or slower product launches than they typically saw, unless their business model was directly impacted by spending pattern changes. I think most companies expected lower output from forced-all-remote teams but don't seem to be seeing it.
Microsoft and Sony take 30% of game revenue. A piece of software is sold and they take a cut. They also take a cut of in app purchases of game expansions and game items.

Apple, on the other hand, wants to take a cut of every non-physical item purchase on their platform regardless of what it is. They also don't want any non-physical item purchases to occur off their platform. Unlike Microsoft and Sony, Apple's platform is a gateway to all kinds of businesses selling all kinds of goods, both physical and digital, with a range of business models.

Apple could even take a cut of physical item purchases if they wanted; they just decided they don't want to (for obvious reasons).

I agree it's similar but it's also not exactly the same.

it lists "modulating emotional state" as a long-term capability. if positive psychology is falling out of favor, it's because it's been superceded, not because they realized it doesn't work for preventing PTSD or whatever. they don't give a shit about that. just ask any veterans' advocate group trying to get the government even to acknowledge that there is a problem.
They also basically ban you from working on open source. One employee detailed that they could not release some improvements they made to a Wordpress photo gallery plug-in because legal told them it competes with the iPhone/iCloud photo gallery.
The rough theory - as I understand it - is that the virus is composed of other things as well as the spike protein e.g. the proteins in the viral shell. The immune system can learn to attack _whatever_ foreign materials it encounters. So a person that clears the infection might have a strong immune response to the spike protein, but the response could also be focused on some other part of the virus (or a mixture of different viral features).

Problem is, the "some other part" can mutate more easily into a form that the immune system no longer recognizes than the spike protein can, because the spike protein has to keep its form in order to react with the ACE2 receptors and enter a human cell. So the concern isn't that a real infection doesn't leave you immune to the virus you got sick with, but that the immunity might not apply or be as robust against a variant where the "some other part" has mutated into a different form.

The mRNA vaccines only cause your cells to make the (difficult to significantly mutate) spike protein, so the expectation is that vaccinated people would have a robust immune response against any variants which have that spike protein, regardless of whatever else changed, and a variant with an unrecognizable mutation of the spike protein would be less infectious anyway, as it could no longer successfully enter human cells either.

The results of the paper seem to indicate that this is not a problem in practice (so far - new variants are still evolving), but it's nice that someone checked.

I think 30% is absurd, but that would definitely change things for every user. I don't want to install Adobe's store because I need to use their PDF reader. I don't want to install Microsoft's store because I need to use Teams or Outlook for work.

Other App Stores mean that companies get to make that decision--not end users. How could it be otherwise?

Or... maybe the market will react to higher oil prices and choose other fuels? Might be wanting to hodl TSLA and not rail stocks.
No, they wouldn't. That's the point. Apple and Google control the market for mobile phone apps.

You could invent the best possible app store and take nothing as a cut and get no users because Apple wouldn't permit your app store and so you'd lose.

Apple uses their hardware market dominance to control the software market and extracts rent from people who want to sell software on their hardware. That's what people are complaining about.

"Why don't they just invent their own hardware, phone OS, and app store?" Hmm, yes, why not?
> Most American households own their home.

Do you have a reference for that? I'm interested to see how it breaks down. I have to assume this is true because of America's aging population.
Yeah, in terms of software working at Apple is impressive for the fact that their products are luxuries, not for any real technical reasons.

Hardware is totally different though
I really don't understand the persistence of the myth that Bitcoin, which is a public ledger, is not traceable.
It's well worth implementing and testing out the Kelly Criterion. It's super simple to code up in a Jupyter Notebook so that you get to enter an amount to bet each time. When I tried it, I found my own psychology changing as the bets continued, even when I knew the coin's bias. It's a really great demonstration of the difference between a) intellectually knowing the optimal strategy, and b) what actually happens.

A bet on a biased coin paradigm was actually tried in the real world with finance professionals, with a cap on the maximum payout. The results are described here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1701.01427.pdf

Yeah, Sidecar is pretty cool. I was surprised to learn that even pressure-sensitivity from the Apple Pencil worked (at least in Blender where I tried it out.)

Price-fixing as a defense is so odd.
If installing with a developer account is official, then similarly you can run unsigned code on iOS officially. The process is quite similar to xbox.

Edit: can't reply further, but this can indeed be done for free (assuming you have access to a mac or a mac vm). The paid developer account is only for publishing to the app store, you can do almost everything with a free developer account.
To some of them, sure. But even fewer have heard of it.
Excellent article! I feel like I understand so much more about analog signals than I did before.

It seems very obvious now, that if you want to have a high signal to noise ratio, you should get as much signal as possible, and keep your signal voltage as high as possible as long as possible before amplification.

This fundamental resistor noise is something that I'm probably going to start seeing everywhere when I look at any analog signals, and will have to take into account when designing things.
If this is rare enough, it could fall into the false positive rate of the COVID test they've previously done (i.e. while the test said they had COVID, they didn't)

I'm not sure I understand. What would you expect them to guess? What are they shocked at?
Apple has always had clear exceptions for video, audio, magazine and newspaper apps.

"3.1.3(a) “Reader” Apps: Apps may allow a user to access previously purchased content or content subscriptions (specifically: magazines, newspapers, books, audio, music, and video). Reader apps may offer account creation for free tiers, and account management functionality for existing customers."

It isn't because Netflix or Amazon are "powerful" enough, but that they saw that these were traditional multiplatform services.

I disagree with the ridiculous Hey situation (and note that Apple backed down), however let's be accurate.
I'm not too surprised. From people who still participate that I know, the amount of people either not sending or sending garbage gifts has increased a lot. It seems like this is a hold over from that era of the internet when Reddit felt small instead of a top 20 site.
