> Surely you can configure your email client to not to load remote content automatically

Last time I checked, although I could prevent image loading in Gmail for desktop web browser, I could not do so in the Gmail iOS app.
The Lua interpreter is not a real-time interpreter and cannot give bounded response time.

This is a non-realtime application running on top of a scheduler that is capable of supporting realtime applications.

Just placing an application on top of an RTOS does not make it realtime.
I believe the majority of a Netflix subscriber's consumption is still on their TV, not on their iPhone/iPad.

But you also cannot pay for Netflix in the iPhone app. You have to do it on their website.
I was reluctant to use Garnet as I always had a traditional approach with managing secrets. It wasn't until I accidentally deleted my sensitive and critical data that I started to look out for a better way of doing things. That's where Garnet came in. Very easy to install and getting started to use it's features. Definitely recommended for everyone before it's too late and you have to spend a couple of days trying to re-register your keys and stuff
Cool. I’ve been using AWS secrets manager for a while now, and though it serves as a great store for secrets, the developer experience hasn’t been great for our team due to which we’ve resorted to writing an in-house wrapper around it.
A simple-to-use, self-hosted solution makes a ton of sense -- excited to give it a spin!
Very pooly, the only easy option is to rebind Caps Lock to be Escape, but Apple doesn't let you rebind any key or combination, just Caps/Control/Option.
You'd create a table that holds the different tenants. Then add a association between users and tenants. Store the tenant in the authenticated users session.

Then you could attach the tenant specific configuration to the session too, or better keep it in an in-memory cache.
I don't think they'll keep using European-built batteries when Chinese-built batteries are readily available at a noticably lower price, perhaps 5 years from now unless there are e.g. tax penalties in place for owning a car with a battery made with co2-polluting power. Consumers will go for the car that's 10% cheaper.
Do you have a link or example for, uh, science? Lol
>My guess is that the only place in the US where it really does work is NYC, and then maybe even only really in Manhattan.

It's probably the case that it's the only place in the country where it's considered perfectly normal as an adult not to own a car even if you have plenty of money.

There are--especially given Zipcar/Uber/etc.--other cities where people can get buy without owning a car, especially if it's a young post-college lifestyle. But it probably requires organizing your life around not owning a car to a certain degree.
Yields are normally kept high by having extra device blocks, and achieving a working config by cutting some links on the die with a laser.

Some chips get downgraded in the process: if you can't sell a 4-core CPU with 8MB of L1 cache, you can disable the core that fails tests, and / or disable the parts of the cache that fail tests, and sell a 3-core part with 4MB cache; AMD did just that back in the day.
True. I struggled with Esperanto for 10 years, only to give up and try Ido.

> we have to decide on one of two mutually exclusive goals

> Your link discusses the Scandinavian countries. Those have a GINI (income score) about half that of the US. Of course they have broad-based taxes.

I want to address everything you just said, but these two points stand out.

The GINI coefficient is not a particularly useful metric precisely because the US could halve its GINI simply by increasing the income of its poorest people. It tells us nothing about the degree to which a country goes to make its rich poorer.

Which brings me to your second point; Scandinavian countries have the GINI scores that they do precisely because they have welfare that can only be feasibly funded by broad-based taxes (even Bernie Sanders admits this https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/06/28/sanders-middl...). And the only way you get a society to adopt broad based taxes is if you decide the variable you want to optimize is making the poor richer, rather than the rich poorer.

In America, especially among the center-left, there's a strong aversion to adopting taxes on the middle class — it's the only way one can fund the kinds of programs that reduce GINI — precisely because the rhetoric is less around making sure the poor are taken care of, but rather around making sure "the rich pay their fair share".

So that's the reason why it's presented as mutually exclusive goals. Once society agrees upon an OKR, it will converge around any solution that satisfies that OKR. As long as our OKRs are defined around how rich the rich are, rather than how poor the poor are, the solutions we converge around will look less like the GINI-reducing Scandinavian countries (which have high middle class taxes and VATs), and more like the US, which happens to have the most progressive taxation in the developed world[1][2].

I read it differently, and much like Apple’s pirate flag it’s just about being a rebel.
There are two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things , and off-by-one errors.
But they could just always be a seeder. Doesn’t that have the upsides of the existing solution plus resiliency?
Well 'knowing' the 'true probability' is a philosophical can of worms anyway.

The good news is that you don't need to know it exactly, you just need to make a better guess than the bookies (w.r.t. the Kullback Leibler divergence or cross-entropy, whichever takes your fancy).
That’s wrong. The assumptions behind the Kelly criterion lead to the log utility only in a particular case.

What if each week you can bet $1 that in 50% of cases will triple your bet and in 50% of cases will give you $0? According to the log utility whether you should bet depends on your current wealth. According to the assumptions behind the Kelly criterion you should take the bet every week.

Malta and Ireland benefit from having an official language. The EU employs Irish and Maltese translators in extremely well paid tax-free jobs.

Maybe Austria would do it? It's the only EU country I can think of that doesn't claim to have its own language. Edit: also Belgium and Luxembourg.
Does anyone know to what extent Apple differentiates between in-app purchases and subscriptions? I've heard Netflix and Spotify do not give Apple 30% because, well, that'd be kind of ridiculous for these companies to give 30% of their revenue to Apple.

But what about mid-sized companies? I pay a yearly subscription fee to Headspace. If Apple is actually taking 30% of their revenue because people access it via an iPhone? That... just doesn't seem sustainable.
This is caused by credit money. When you issue currency based on loans, there's always debt associated. For every dollar saved, more than a dollar of liabilities have to exist somewhere. Where's it go? People in debt (aka the poor).
Strong disagree. If that were the case only the wealthy would own homes. Available financing certainly pushes the prices up a bit as more people can buy homes, but homes really are often worth 500-600k, if you simply do a comparison to renting, and probably even more so if you factor in inflation risk, interest rate risk, and the equity gained in the house.
But none of these support U2F or WebAuthn at all. The problem isn't that they need to support "multiple" tokens except in the sense that they don't support any at all.
I would not call it artificially constrained supply. New construction in the vicinity has an effect on the quality of life in the existing houses/flats.
In the end space is indeed physically constrained, especially where people want to live.
Even from that scarcity perspective a lot of low density construction just seems like waste.

I guess you could get both perspectives behind a Georgism type land value tax.
I've tried breaking textbooks down into Anki cards, and it takes forever and afterwards I'm left feeling underwhelmed. But, if you're going to do it, I've found that my favorite method of review is TTS on the Anki app with swipe gestures, and I just go for loooong walks while grinding my flash cards, just holding the phone at my side and swiping with my thumb '1' or '3'.

One thing I tried that I liked was reading the entire textbook out-loud into a set of bluetooth headphones chapter-by-chapter. I then process the raw audio file using Audacity's 'truncate silence' tool, as well as increasing the tempo of the audio file by 1.5-2x speed. I read it mechanically, straight-through as quickly as I possibly can on the first run. Then I make 1-2 passes back through the entire book using the audio file of my own recorded voice sped up in order to pace myself.

That way I go through the entire book like 3 times. Once slow, twice fast. I might do my second or third pass months or years later. Doing it mechanically means that I can grind through nonfiction technical books that are hundreds of pages long pretty quickly, and I know exactly how long my reviews will take, since it's the length of my audio file. The largest book I've pulled it off with was 900 pages. It was a sufferfest, but if you smoke a little pot while you're doing it, you can get into a nice rhythm and it's kind of fun.

I don't remember every single detail of the book using this method, but I've found cranking through them relentlessly with some time in-between to be very, very effective from a practical perspective. It scratches the 'done is better than perfect' itch, and when I need a specific detail I know exactly where to look.
Well the entire country of El Salvador now believes it to be the best option they have as a currency of choice. So I guess your points might be valid for some very minority stake, but they're popular because you can trade them like stocks and even trade futures on them to make money. So sure, like all financial systems, it's being used for bad things. But cash is used far more often than anything else to trade money for bad things.

a plain old website or a publishing house with distribution services and syndication attached, but for a sane price.

"a whole lot of tiny files" severely underestimates the scale at work. Libgen's coverage is relatively shallow, and pdf books tend to be huge, at least for older material. Scihub piggy backs on the publishers, so that's your reference.

syndication, syndicate, quite apt don't you think? Libraries that coluded with the publishers and accepted the pricing must have been a huge part of the problem, at least historically. Now you know there's only one way out of a mafia.

As someone who works in tech for a decidedly not-tech company, I'm curious how this will affect me. I feel like my company has taken a wait and see approach, although they have been quite open in saying that 95% of what we do can be done completely remotely. Having Facebook say that anyone can do remote work will probably force them to do something very similar in order to attract and retain employees.

My UK ISP (one of the major UK mobile networks) does not block sci-hub. They do block torrent sites such as Pirate Bay, etc.
Down in the thread, they compare their platform to Patreon, which has an app. Exclusive content is a substantial part of Patreon.

I'd like a straight-forward explanation of why Patreon is allowed to avoid in-app payments. It seems like a straight-forward violation of apple's rules. Apple having its rules is one thing, but applying them unevenly seems like a problem too, since it protects a whole host of 'grandfathered' businesses from competition.

Interesting theory. My CA realtor told me to bid below asking price and we got the house.

Repeat business is a good motivator. We were happy with the realtor after our first purchase, used them to sell that property and again, in our second search and then recommended them to friends who made purchases. The marginal income they could have gotten by pushing us to a higher price are dwarfed by their combined earnings.

> This is simply not true. There is no such thing as excess power, whatever is not used should be stored or sold to other countries.

I agree that would be ideal, but current battery technology is limited and we loose power with transmission distance.

A gravity battery could work for storing that excess power (up to a point) but that seems like it could be a pretty capital intensive project.

In lieu of better solutions, we sometimes have to go with less than ideal ones.

People in the comments are right so far that this could be just a website, but I think we can turn that around and say that Apple is not providing any services that the developers of Fanhouse really need or want. They just want to be on the store, and all the services and APIs Apple provides aren't really features as long as developers are forced to use them.
This is because Netflix, knowing Apple would take 30%, does not allow you to sign up via an iPhone app. Apple takes 30% if you sign up via iPhone, not if you sign up via web and then use the iPhone app.

It's funny that you call bitcoin a "speculative asset" even though fiat currencies are far more "speculative" than anything tangible. Bitcoins are tangible even if they're electronic.
