It seems we do not, not quite. A quick googling got quite a few research papers and prototypes, but nothing mass-produced.
I have played this game for months at a time and then abandon it. I have a backup file of a Level 66 character on one of my backup keys from 2014 . Maybe time to continue the game.
This is not correct. Kelly criterion is not the square of the sharpe ratio
In Canada, Bell charges 80$ for a smartphone plan with 30GiB of data; and TELUS charges 80$ for a smartphone plan with 30GiB of data; and Rogers charges 80$ for a smartphone plan with 30GiB of data.

If you don't want to spend as much, you can go with their discount brands. Virgin Mobile Canada (Bell subsidiary) charges 45$ for 3GiB of data; and Koodo (TELUS subsidiary) charges 45$ for 3GiB of data; and Fido (Rogers subsidiary) charges 45$ for 3GiB of data.

One one to look at it is that the market rate for the smartphone plan with 30GiB of data is 80$ and the market rate for 3GiB of data is 45$. Another way is that it is an oligopoly situation. Having lived in Canada for a long time, I know it's the latter. Apple/Google/etc store markup situation seems similar enough that I am inclined to believe it is a case of oligopoly too.
The UK Government passed a few legislations to this effect and have been doing so since 2015~

It's internet lingo.
It’s a subscription service and you’re not paying for individual content a-la-cart? We can play wack a mole all day and find special carve outs by Apple but “what about-ism” isn’t the (or their) point, it’s did they expect this to happen or not. Surely they knew at some point the tax man would come with absolute certainty so crying (hyperbolic) foul now is… disingenuous.
Just curious, if Apple is so bad, why do people build apps for it? Browsers are very robust now a days. I have never built a iPhone or Android app, never needed to. Browsers now a days I imagine can get you atleast 90% of the way. Why go to Apple if you can build a webapp. And it is cross platform so you do not have to maintain a separate Android app.

What am I missing?
It is intentional. Its one of those silly internet culture things.
90? Mine comes in at 33. Not sure what disk size has to do with anything anyway?
I replied elsewhere: nobody is having to flee anything. If they would rather sell and keep gains rather than spend them to continue living there, that's their choice.
So I would need to sell the 2 BR single family home I've lived in for 30 years, and move to some other part of town to live in a 1BR apartment, because someone from some other part of the country can pay more in tax for the property I've lived on?

Seems like this is a really good service to add some legitimacy to Tor browsing.

Having SciHub as a hidden service would bring a lot of people to Tor.

EDIT: apparently I'm a bit stupid; it exists: https://scihub22266oqcxt.onion

But it would be cool to promote the hell out of the onion address and tor browser, rather than trying to bypass ISP restrictions.

> I don't really see this working since to compete with block subsidy rewards you would need very costly transactions.

This seems to suggest that miners dictate the reward they get, rather than miners are forced to adapt to the reward they are offered.

There's no required amount of energy used for mining and miners are offered 0 guarantee of reward. Mining difficulty automatically increases and decreases depending on how profitably miners can operate. If the reward drops to the point that a miner using expensive coal can't compete with a miner using cheap solar, then they simply go out of business and hope they can sell their equipment to someone who can still turn a profit.
I think people are used to just scrolling to an icon on their home screen and tapping on it, and companies like Apple/Google don't really like the idea of PWAs because they lose control over the developers and walled garden ecosystems they have created

Developers will optimize for what feels natural to the user, i.e. installing an "app" which doesn't require typing an address in the browser or scrolling through bookmarks

Also some companies from the developer side will want that extra user control that you don't have in the browser, for example to track them more, play unskippable ads, or access to some native features on the phone which are not available in web apps
The issue is that this customer you're describing doesn't exist. It does provide a marginally higher amount of friction to use a non-native payment method, but there aren't any users out there cancelling their Netflix subscription because now Netflix gets 100% of the proceeds instead of 70%. At that point, you're inadvertently sabotaging the very company that you're trying to support, because your hardware manufacturer decided that they need to tax your software, too.
I’d be curious to know if similar regulations will exist for BTC.

"Easy-to-learn" is very subjective. There's a lot of different languages spoken in the EU and the accessibility of a language environment matters.
There’s already Sidecar. It’s not quite what you want, but it’s a step in that direction.
It's hard to do photo/video/media integration on a web page. There no good way to interact with the filesystem to share content, start a livestream, etc. UIKit also make it pretty easy to create layouts that work well on your phone with swiping gestures.

I am an app developer that would love to move to a mobile web app but those are the problems that I am running into at least. If web assembly can accomplish all of that then I just am not well educated enough to use it instead.
I just had to deal with an annoying tracking link to unsubscribe from an unsolicited mailing list. uBlock even blocked the link click, I had to temporarily allow the tracker to unsubscribe.

Tried playing on my Macbook, but ran into problems since it requires an Esc key in a bunch of places, which Apple has for some reason basically removed completely. It looks cool though.
> As in most things, it is an economic tradeoff.

I think that's what gets me. I'm pretty "Old Man Yells At Cloud" right now, criticizing an 80s metal band for not meeting the safety standard that I've imagined. It's just that people pull out this idea as being something neat and I think it's a completely inappropriate technique when other options are available and safety is on the line. If either of these things aren't true, then sure, try it.

You can't see how people follow orders in war without sending them to war. So you tell them "no food in the barracks" and when you catch them with a bagel you make them do a hundred pushups. And it's easy to toss out resumes with typos since they've indicated they don't actually have attention to detail. Those make sense because they're the best you can do.

But if someone dies at your concert, you'll probably think it would have been worth it to have more than one person playing safety checker. The contracts and M&Ms aren't actually going to make you feel better. (Or necessarily keep the lawyers away).

At its deepest, I think I'm reacting to a change that happened to me over time. I used to work at a ropes course. Think team building, high wires and zip lines. We'd give a list of instructions to our group contact to pass along to the group, including that people need to wear long pants and closed-toe shoes.

Well, about 20% of groups would hop out of their cars with a bunch of people in shorts and sandals. "Oh, no one told us." And we'd announce to ourselves that the group contact had failed to communicate and we should "watch out" for the rest of the day.

Looking back, I think we were the dumb ones. If 20% of groups are showing up unprepared to my ropes course, then that's my problem. I need to make different choices that lead to better outcomes. If I have evidence I shouldn't trust group contracts to make things happen (I definitely do) then I need to stop counting on them.
Some simply cannot avoid it because Apple does not implement all necessary functionality for all kinds of apps in Safari and does not allow other browser engines that do on iOS.
This only works if your ISP is using/abusing/hijacking DNS to censor your connections.

If they're doing that you'd be better off using D-o-T or D-o-H, to protect your DNS from interference.
It's intentional. Note how the number 1 and the exclamation mark are on the same key on the keyboard. It's an old internet joke that when you're over-excited you may not hold the shift key down the whole time you're adding too many "!!!!!"s.
That's not relevant to the point (although I'd also disagree with this entire premise, the root of tariff-free global trade). The point is that when someone (e.g. Bezos) spends US$500M of realized gain, it doesn't necessarily get spent in the USA. That's all.
The other commenters have a point, but the Snopes article actually points this out:

> So just as a little test, in the technical aspect of the rider, it would say “Article 148: There will be fifteen amperage voltage sockets at twenty-foot spaces, evenly, providing nineteen amperes …” This kind of thing. And article number 126, in the middle of nowhere, was: “There will be no brown M&M’s in the backstage area, upon pain of forfeiture of the show, with full compensation.”

So they had other simple-to-check signs; the brown M&M one is just the only one commonly cited as it's the funniest/most interesting.
Intimacy Does Not Scale
A native app has access to way more marketable data than a browser page. Why do you think all the big sites keep on pushing you to install their app?
When a government drastically restricts economic freedoms and then restricts them less than they did, you shouldn't praise that government for causing the increased prosperity that results -- it was their fault it wasn't happening in the first place, and they "helped" by getting out of the way. Sure, you can say the Deng Xiaoping CCP isn't the same as Mao's CCP, and there are aspects of that which are true. But at most, Deng's CCP was simply reducing the drastic limits on economic freedoms that the party had put in place. They're not causing the prosperity -- they're declining to continue stopping that prosperity from happening.
From the interwebs: In the U.S., the money supply is influenced by supply and demand—and the actions of the Federal Reserve and commercial banks. ... More money flowing through the economy corresponds with lower interest rates, while less money available generates higher rates."

Higher rates = higher cost of borrowing = higher prices = higher inflation.

This article is mostly weak opinion. There was one important takeaway, which is notable to anyone interested in ketamine:

> We have creators who are unemployed from the pandemic. We have creators who need to pay rent, to pay tuition, to pay medical expenses, and they need their income to survive. Apple's 30% directly threatens their livelihoods.

Does anyone find this reasoning disingenuous? "Will you think of the [children or other unprivileged group]?" Is Apple morally obligated to give money to people with harder lives? It weakens her whole argument. Jasmine knows this. She used to be on OnlyFans which has no app, and is an Ivy League (UPenn) grad. She's trying to keep her cash while making an emotional appeal.
Maybe this should read "Original Hacker News Source Code" as this doesn't look like it's been updated since 2015.
I always loved working in LISP, it was just so concise and really made you focus on code structure and hierachy. Need to get back into it again sometime.
Yes and no. Debt is obviously less beneficial than cash to the person who has to repay, and cash carries an opportunity cost rather than a direct one with repayment timescales, but newly created money is more likely to be allocated efficiently with respect to economic growth when handed to those who expect to be able to repay. You can plausibly argue it's [Kaldor Hicks] efficient as well as more equitable to take money off the rich and give it to ordinary consumers if the rich aren't reinvesting in businesses because they don't see people having the funds to demand stuff in future (or if they're intentionally stifling their part of the economy or plain unimaginative) but the article seems to stop short of committing to that. It suggests government debt (much of it as a result of handouts to the needy) is part of the problem and appears lukewarm about redistribution.

> Except for those third-parties, you mean?

The third-party can't steal your Bitcoins. Assuming your node is online 24/7, you can verifiably cash out your Bitcoin on the blockchain at any time.

The third-party doesn't hold your Bitcoin– both parties can close the channel and cash out, again without any trust.

Your Bitcoins can't be stolen by a third-party, unless you and your watchtower fail to broadcast a transaction with proof there was a channel transfer.

I read watchtowers are used to keep third-parties honest when nodes aren't online 24/7. https://blog.bitmex.com/lightning-network-part-4-all-adopt-t... They don't hold your keys.
> Obviously some of that is to be expected of an island nation versus a continent-spanning one.

It has little to do with "island nation", most nations use mixed zoning, it's certainly the standard in europe (and recent developments are gravitating towards more mixed zoning e.g. Amsterdam's eastern docklands). It could have to do with being an old nation, but even then that's not actually true, the US existed for a while before cars happened.
> Only difference would be installing the Logitech Options app

Is that the app that wants to use all 8 cores and turn my iMac into a noisy space heater every now and then? I love Logitech’s hardware, but their software is consistently terrible.
I doubt very much that this is the actual code, not being modified in 8 years is a huge stretch.
There's a telegram bot that sends you the papers you ask for. It's by far the most convenient way to use scihub.
Heh! Actually, although I'm in Argentina, I thoroughly endorse 墨子's defensive program: if every country is safe against attacks, then all the people will be safe, while if every country is vulnerable to attacks, then life will be bitter and filled with grief. So, just as 墨子's followers worked to improve the fortifications of the various states of China so that none could gain by attacking another, I think we should figure out how to reduce our collective vulnerability to this kind of drone-swarm attack.

Except that I think it's kind of impossible and we are basically doomed.

It's in the process of switching to QtWebEngine, which is the Chromium version.
It's not about making it harder to spend money abroad (at least not in this context).

It's about a tax structure that some mitigates against the downsides of the ultra-rich realizing capital gains and spending the proceeds outside their country of residence.
So the subscription apple tax work-around does not work anymore if you are making too much money?
There's a fundamental asymmetry here: many commenters vs. one of me. It's one big reason why most writers don't engage in comments at all. The time and energy burden is enormous.

As happens though, I think standing behind one's work is important, and that the investment is worthwhile on the net. So I engage more than most do, and I quite literally pay people when they help me see flaws in my work (or even just when they raise a really helpful point). This is good for all. But it's only sustainable when those on the other side engage in good faith. I told someone (who was already being super snarky) that I was centralizing their comments as they'd made the same one in two places. They responded with something deeply uncharitable. So I blocked them in one place but still addressed their concerns here (while linking readers from SS to here so they could follow). If that's not enough for you, lol ok.

As for butthurt, look, I've been on HN for a day. I don't know anything about the culture here. I don't even know what flags you're talking about or how to find them. No mods have gotten in touch with me about anything. If they did, I'd happily hear them out. But I'm never a dick to anyone who isn't a dick first, and even then I still try to engage in good faith if there's a real concern within their dump.
This seems more of an problem when living in the USA than an SMS problem. I'm in Germany and there is no way someone gets a new SIM card without someone checking the persons personal ID.

What makes sense is for everyone to use the single language that people are able to effectively use to communicate across Europe, namely English.
These issues are fundamental to human society as a whole, not just FB. Factoids, yellow journalism, and lynch mobs have existed since the beginning of time. Literature on the subject, such as the Crucible, point out that people as a whole will always do their damndest to conform for its own sake. Because that's their drug of choice. Not the "Like" button. Not upvotes. Conformity.
It is otherwise impossible for a small company to provide free email.

Wow… I just assumed Sidecar was a second monitor, totally underestimated it. Bummer it only works on newer MacBooks!
Google allows other payment providers in apps without mandating their own provider. Same with Steam. I don't know about Microsoft or Sony.
Presumably the server just delays the response for x seconds, with the assumption that any in-flight network requests are cancelled by the email client when the user closes the window or app.
That would be everyone.
Doing that in C is not Unicode aware, but Rust's language built-in string type (&str) and main standard library string type (String) are UTF-8.

You could write the same thing as the C if you wanted to, if you had a string type that was encoded differently. Say, in ASCII.

Customers want dedicated mobile apps that they can download from App Stores.
OnlyFans has no app because of the nature of the content.
Apple intentionally hobbled mobile web for a long time on iOS to incentivize people writing a native app over just making a webapp.
1. Apps get added to the home screen by default. Adding a website to the home screen is not easy and most users are not aware of this function. When app is on the home screen, there are much higher chances that user will return.

2. Push notifications increase return rate as well. Website can't send push notification to iOS client.

So basically it comes down to user retention. Apps allows for better user monetization, compared to websites.

I travelled last week, and was horrified by how much is blocked by the mainstream ISPs in the UK.

Afaik, my (London) ISP does not block anything. No idea why, as all the others quote high court orders.

Woosh!
If I understand your argument correctly, you are making an un-evidenced claim that a cabal of housing developers are conspiring creating a housing shortage despite the biggest housing boom in the US since post WW2, while also claiming single-dwelling zoning as the root cause is somehow just an anecdote?

I seriously hope that Donald Moss dude get's psychiatric help. Having looked at the lot of his publications he seems to have a common and very radical theme amongst them.
I’m wondering if native mobile apps are doomed to disappear as the web and mobile Browsers meet in the middle, the same way everything was a native app for quite some time in desktop land and now everything is a webapp.
A single, permanent auxiliary language will never be implemented as long as people can make a repeated choice. Like with this storey, official languages will flip-flop based on power struggles. If there ever was an official auxiliary language though, I would wish it to be Ido.
I know I would never be a writer of seminal papers because I would never publish a formula that includes unknowable parameters.

Same goes for Black-Scholes which includes _future_ volatility.
I'm not saying Apple isn't adding end-user value. I can easily imagine a payment screen in an app that looks like,

* Pay with Apple Pay ($13.00)

* Pay with Stripe ($10.50)

If their value-add is as strong as you say then surely they'd still make plenty of money. If not, well maybe they need to start adding more value or dropping their prices, just like anyone in a competitive market.
