Realistically, on the one hand we have the option to incentivize Apple to be an intermediary by letting them increase the price of everything by 42% and pocket the difference.

On the other hand, we have the option to ban this practice, and force big app stores to allow alternative payment systems. This will, as you state, predictably lead to some developers building their own insecure alternative payment systems, selling private information, and other negative outcomes. Sometimes it works fine, though.

What we're unlikely to get is some utopia in the middle where you can select a sign-in and payment option in each app, where you can choose between paying $5 to Apple and letting them be the intermediary, paying $3.50 to the developers directly, or perhaps paying $3.61 using a 3% markup intermediary.
Going to put in some positivity compared to the other comments here—

Good. The OS store should have to compete with other software stores. If their store is actually better for consumers, then they have no cause for concern.
Nobody in government or political class wants people to actually think critically. They want people to blindly swallow whatever they are told from "approved sources" and consider any dissenting opinions to be "fake news". Its in nobody's interest except the individual's to think critically. You don't need to look very far in any direction right now to see how frowned upon critical thought is
> I would be fine with this in some circumstances.

Maybe it’s just a matter of difference of criteria, but I would certainly not be fine with this. You have a lot of ways to prevent this from happening, and it only opens an attack surface to APTs.

Being indexed means being searchable, being searchable means exposing yourself to automated targeted attacks.
Fair enough. I’m just of the opinion that a single byte of extra data (assuming ASCII) conveys an awful lot of contextual information, and can see few reasons to exclude it.
I think it will be fascinating to watch the FIRE movement and the broader trading communities through the next crash. It is easy to feel like a genius when the market is going up 30% in a year.

Surely the publication's location and readership are the salient factors, and not the article's topic? Or should the article be in Italian because it is about Italy?

Mostly because 1) your phone is getting time from the tower anyways (they have to be closely sync'd) and 2) GPS doesn't always work very well -- especially indoors.
Lmao, had the same thought.

Also, did you get a lot of those participation trophies when you were a kid? I read a take on those recently, along the lines of, "if the adults always praise everyone, then their praise is meaningless and can't be trusted". Ie, a recipe for impostor syndrome in later life. I certainly experience that. Anytime I participate in an activity that I'm naturally talented at, I figure it's just not that difficult and I've done nothing special.

And in the context of becoming a millionaire through investments, adjusting by more relevant factors than consumer goods inflation result in the following:

* Residential real estate inflation: $355k [1]

* Stock market inflation: $770k [2]

* Dollar supply inflation: $712k [3]

You'd have to earn between $350k and $700k/year for your dollars to have the same asset buying power as $130k/year in 1996.

His point is it doesn't matter much if you hear that advice you still need to spend hundreds of hours improving your mechanics to actually execute that advice.
Family bet everything on Bitcoin now storing it in secret vaults around globe
It's not that the jobs and pay in Omaha (or wherever) are shit. It's that there's no money printer industry like tech or high finance dumping stupid amounts of money into the local economy causing a bidding war between the direct beneficiaries and a rat race between everyone else trying to "make their cut".
The size of the degree matters in some contexts. But, yeah, if your focus is on the "right" system from an engineering/science perspective, Kelvin should be being used.
Telco has basically no interest here, she's probably doing this as a bid to please her freedom-loving constituents who're begging for the ability to install Gab on their $1000+ phone.
hah noticed the same thing - unbelievable tbh
Why do you recommend this to young people specifically? Wouldn't it be sound advice regardless of the age of the recipient of this advice? Just curious why you've added that qualifier.
Anecdotally:

I makes less than 100K usd per year. I have a wife (who also makes less than 100K), a car, a kid, and hobbies. I don’t live in the valley, or even the United States. I work 8 hour days, employed by somebody else.

I should be a millionaire by my mid thirties unless the stock market explodes. I don’t think I’m all that frugal, but we do try to save more than we make and live within our means.

I do recognize that I’m extremely fortunate - I have not suffered any significant setbacks in my life, my health is relatively good, and I have a good family structure, all of which have been immeasurably helpful.
Your advice - don't send them shit - is basically the same as their advice, though, just in your case you have a "maybe a meteorite" that you think is valuable, and in their case you probably just have a rock after following the flowchart.

Even their advice if the flowchart says its interesting is to send pictures next, not send it in.

My own behavior, if I sent pictures and they said "yes, that might be a meteorite" would be to arrange to bring it in in person, sometime.

Mailing it blindly doesn't seem like it should be anyone's first instinct, but they certainly aren't saying anyone should do that.
Given that this is the DoD, isn't the Third Amendment also relevant?

"No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."

If the government wants to fight a cyberwar on civilian property, it needs to put into law exactly what abilities it is giving itself, and actually declare such a war so we know who the supposed enemies are.
But France isn't building any new, is it. A slow phase-out is what is aligned for near future, and almost entirely replacing it with fossil fuels
It’s a single byte of information, maybe 4 at a push. It doesn’t take much to include and avoids a lot of ambiguity.
Might be more on topic to discuss the fact that the legitimacy of this reading is being disputed...

With that said, I'm just waiting for articles coming out tomorrow about how mediterranean forest fires are being triggered by climate change and some shmuck objecting that fires have existed since forever. Meanwhile, Russia burns away with a fury of a million suns.
You're quite genuine in acknowledging that the devotion to Hillary Clinton exceeds the commitment to human rights and freedom of information.
Yeah, if the replies to that tweet are to be believed there have been even higher measurements from similar European weather stations under similar circumstances that simply weren't recognized as records due to the measurement issues.
Agreed: I meant that there were superficial similarities, not merely superficial similarities. Here's the original paper (I think?) on self types; maybe there's an obvious link in there.

Does that apply to all apps? Can any app provide those modes? Or are those modes restricted only to Amazon-like apps that allow users to buy physical goods etc.?

My claim is generic across apps; your anecdotes are limited to certain types of apps.
Last I checked Apple TV doesn't even list the languages their subtitles are available in before renting/buying movies. Frankly this is just plain idiotic. I rented Parasite, but my girlfriend couldn't really watch it, since she doesn't speak Swedish. It's such an obvious piece of information they should provide. (And even if it's not obvious, I did email them letting them know. Somehow I doubt my feedback will come to use.)
Even with Celsius, perhaps not impossible at the right altitude, low convection, and with a dark color for better radiative absorption.
It's a complete mess when working on actual engineering tasks, I can't imagine how many hours have been wasted converting/correcting between units used by standards versus projects.

There's also abominations like the Energy Efficiency Ratio expressed in Btu/Wh, which yes, you are reading it correctly, is the ratio of energy in IP to energy in SI. I honestly don't understand why something so useless exists.

Units actually should mean something. I use them as a quick way of intuiting about physical relationships and something like EER completely removes that intuition and just makes all EER values a stupid number to be memorized.
No, it's a more accessible way of saying it.
No I bought a house in a low col area and worked. I have many more "anecdotes" from almost everyone I grew up with living in similar circumstances if you'd like to hear them.

Pretty amazing that you somehow left out the fact that the while the market was low the job market was also bad and made it pretty difficult to pay off student loans. Somehow that doesn't factor in to your assessment though.

>Would a 24 year old today in the same financial position you were in at 24 be able to afford that same first house?

Yes and my brother just did that. Not bad for a musician that makes money of doing lessons and weekend gigs. According to you though I guess he should be wallowing helplessly in a gutter hoping someone else will come by and pull him out?

I grew up in a midwestern farmhouse with no central AC or heat. We had one bathroom the size of a closet for 5 people. Sorry but I kinda don't care about you whining you can't make it due to some external force always making you a victim.

I'm not sure what is with people like you but you always seem pissed off when you hear people are able to be self-sustaining. Must be an exhausting to live in constant victim-hood. What do you want? Someone else to pay for all of your stuff? Why should the rest of the country have to do that for you?
The Pain Was Unbearable. So Why Did Doctors Turn Her Away?
So we’re looking at a future where if you buy a phone from a phone company, it will come preloaded with their own version of the app store and a bunch of spyware apps selling you upgrades?
I bought a house in Seattle in March and immediately had the old, unmaintained fossil gas (aka 'natural gas') furnace ripped out and replaced with a heat pump. The heat pump worked better for warming my house from March - May than the furnace did, and has managed to make the unprecedented heat wave we experienced earlier in the summer bearable.

It wasn't cheap, but a lot of HVAC companies are offering great financing deals (like 0% interest for 36 months) for the new systems.
If only there was some way to formally verify that an algorithm is correctly implemented
The title is somewhat misleading, because it's talking about two different types of imposter.

The "imposter" of "imposter syndrome" believes others didn't figure what they really are, that they're flawed, underskilled, will fail, etc. ; and that makes you somewhat of a fraud, i.e. an imposter, because they're secretly not the skilled person that was hired.

The "actual imposter" from the "imposter syndrome" would be someone who actually lied about their skills and flaws, or at the very least don't have these skills. I don't know if these "imposters" have the imposter syndrome or not - but for the sake of argument I would assume that they have the same doubts as everyone else and that they do have imposter syndrome.

The "actual imposter" who the author is mentioning is a con, someone who was secretly malfeasant and there for their own benefit. What's more is that from what the author is saying, they seem pretty skilled, and confident. So of course they don't have imposter syndrome: they fixed an organization, bring in money, their plan is going well.

I don't think financial innovation is the answer to preventing another financial crisis considering that's exactly what caused the 2008 crisis.
If you're putting an inline function into your header file, the size of the code for that function is part of the information provided by the interface (i.e. the inline code is getting stored with the user). Every user has to know they're duplicating that code locally.

I agree, though, that for the most part there are probably better ways to do it (including trusting in "the compiler is a better optimizer than my wetware").
I really hope that if this happens, DPAs bring the hammer down on everyone involved (both MS and companies using it) in a useful timeframe (i.e. before it has become socially acceptable because "everyone is doing it" and there are no consequences).

The suspicion is between 47.0 and 48.8 degrees C, i.e. whether the 1977 heat record was beaten in a well-documented manner. There is no suspicion of scorching heat.
https://archive.is/weU2w
Cool, what precisely is one degree K? What does it really mean?

The answer is as about as arbitrary as basing it on human comfort levels - it's originally based on boiling and freezing a specific composition of water at a specific pressure, then adjusted so the zero point is at a universal constant. That last is really the only meaningful part about it.

And practically speaking, the 0 to 100 C range is no longer even based on the actions of water - just as f is no longer based on human comfort.
Additional uncertainty arising from randomness in MP settings reduces the impact of skill (ie memorizing the map) so pvp designs tend to shy away from them, especially in the more esports focused side like CS. There are definitely some skills more fun than others though, otherwise everyone would still be playing Quake3.

Thats not entirely what I am saying.

I should have used a less violent example. We are social animals, breaking social rules leads to consequences(often implied and often trivial).

Abusing people in real life breaks social rules, which means that you feel bad. (in most situations, bullying is a notable exception, but again that's based on consequences, the abused party continues because they fear the consequences of not conforming. )

In the online world, you don't see the results, there is no person getting upset, there is no relationship, there are no friends that see you be a dick and shun you. its just text, its easy to "other"

You have more faith in the US government than I do. I could see them finding out that there exists, for example, a campaign by global adversaries to spread vaccine misinformation. It's an easy step for them to start gathering and investigating all anti-vaccine posts with a certain size following on social media networks whether they are posted by a US citizen or not, in order to determine if they are related. Sure, the military can't act against US citizens directly, but they could easily hand them off to the FBI, who can.

I'll wait and see, though, I guess. It will be interesting to see what "misinformation" they decide to go after first. It's not liking choosing their target could be easily abused or anything.
If "protecting investments" were the goal we would moderate these threads completely differently. Actually the bar is higher for me to intervene in a YC thread; and I'd have replied to you the same way (apart from mentioning YC) in a thread which had nothing to do with YC startups.

Your comment broke at least these site guidelines:

"Be kind."

"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. 'That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3' can be shortened to '1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

"Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents."

"Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity."

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

You also broke 3 of the 4 comment guidelines for Show HNs:

https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

You also have a history of using HN for flamewar and for political battle. We've had to ask you more than once in the past to stop. We ban accounts that keep this up, so if you would please take the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd appreciate it.
Agreed. A product that tells me to build a pylon 10 seconds before I get supply-blocked would be amazing. Or if I have too much money and my production buildings are idle.

I've stood over friends' shoulders and done similar live-coaching. It definitely helps.
Isn't that what we're already doing? How do you think it's going?
this conspiracy theory would be more entertainable if the telecomm giants had any dog in the game at all. but they dont. there is essentially no competition, other than F-Droid, which appears to be 100% public benefit, barely monetized at all.

that itself says quite a lot about this situation to me. no one else is even able to compete? the other giant companies haven't made any progress at all? not media outlets, not telecomm giants, no one? it's just two companies running the market, unchecked? which they guard jealously, & use their position to obstruct possible competition over? what words come to mind to describe this???

why? fire participants are disciplined so they will just invest as usual. what do u expect to see?
Wow those are some assumptions.

> Being silent - not voting - is NOT the same as voting against something.

I never said it always is. However not voting does not mean being silent. I explained this in my analogy where most of the people said not interested in the pizza.

Similarly people who are vocal about politics in their life, online, participate in political fights in workplace, whether individually or through unions, other creative activities and so on are already participating in democratic processes. They are already not silent. The fact that some of them do not participate in a given vote they don't like does not diminish that.

> then they could join up and create an alternative. But this is not what happens.

Of course it happens, in general. Maybe you mean that in your country it does not happen, or it does happen but not everybody who does not vote is involved in that. So what? There are other ways to participate in democratic processes which I mentioned above.
What's wrong with heavy AC/heating use during extreme weather events? You say runaway as if there's some sort of feedback loop.

Insulating houses is balance between cost of insulating and cost of heating/cooling. It's no use spending more on insulation than you save in power use. So "as much as possible" is a wrong goal, as well as being obviously unachievable.
> consider the MS of _now_

Not sure if that's supposed to be an argument for using/trusting MS.

The levels of user and privacy hostility they went to (and are continuously going to) with Windows 10/11 makes me see this as a strong argument against.
> Virginia Tech researchers led by Dr. Wang have collected a number of publicly available password datasets from the Internet in January 2017. The datasets were obtained from various online forums and data archives.

The market is always "low" in the areas I've lived in. That's my point. My brother also just but a very nice house for 180k. There are plenty of affordable places in this country.

>People who bought houses in the last 10 years were lucky enough to get in when the market was historically low.

You realize those same people also had to deal with a shitty job market and college loans to pay off as soon as they graduated right?
I specifically talk about people at the margins. It costs an average of $5,000 per year to own a car. There aren’t enough junk cars for everyone to own one. Roughly $0.50 per mile driven.

The issue in these cases is that you have a hard time not focusing on them. These intrusive thoughts come all the time, take up mental energy and time. It would be best to just focus on actually building things, but it's not always as simple.

It may alleviate the thoughts if you knew for sure that you are not an impostor from a source you can trust or perhaps it will require therapy. Or maybe you can actually push through it, as you said. Anxiety, depression and low self esteem however can take a strong enough toll that simply pushing through and dealing with it may be too difficult without help.
Very strongly disagree... consumers have almost no choices on portables today. Should someone as a parent be able to prevent their kids from installing other app stores to bypass Apple's curation, if they deem Apple's App Store the safest? Of course, and that's not liable to change.

But what exactly is the argument against device owners being free to procure any available app they want for their own devices, if they so choose? This paradigm already exists on Windows PCs and largely Macs too and it's very successful and the openness is worth the risk for me and any hacker I know.

For games, there are several stores like Steam, Epic, GoG, Ubi, Origin, etc and each provide reliable delivery of safe apps, so allowing consumers that same choice on their portable devices absolutely is a pro-consumer stance.

Having been in the military myself (albeit a short stint) it's absolutely a viable option, but just be sure you choose the right path for yourself. And be aware of the obvious downsides.
I think this goes against the spirit of the games with how you’ve implemented things currently.

My first impression was that the product/service would give you feedback post-game. Ultimately as the founders you have the final say, but I think that could be a really interesting avenue to explore instead.
