I really like your point of view, coming from a sympathetic angle like that definitely dispelled me of lumping everyone into the second category but I really should have considered that these people's suffering is valid and not just some massive hypochondria.

Absolutely, 100%. I agree with everything you said and I rue the day that Monero actually does become mainstream because it will cause many problems for the people just using it as an already functioning currency.
FlickType disputes this in the original Twitter thread that made it to the front page yesterday (https://twitter.com/FlickType/status/1427292830523744257 on Twitter, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28200288 on HN). They originally dealt with a rejection for that reason several years ago, and managed to clear it up with Apple because they feel they don't require full access. (Although the Verge article says if you don't have full access you need to use VoiceOver, which doesn't make sense to me, but I've never used the keyboard and given the very accessibility-specific purpose of the app maybe that makes sense?)

So in general I agree that using "full access" should require, say, closer review. But in this case, they've been closely reviewed & approved over the same issue in the past, and FlickType says the keyboard continues to work when full access is off, as it should. Pretty much no matter how you cut it, in the absolute best-for-Apple interpretation here, Apple is still doing a pretty awful job of explaining their review criteria or enforcing them consistently.

I think in my most recent memory "war crimes" is a trigger word for an event where a bunch of "activists" harassed active duty service members live on Twitch about war crimes. I shouldn't conflate the two, but they're easily conflatable given how hyperbolic issues are at this point.
You mentioned an example of a $50k USD inheritance getting 6.5% APR, is that a peso denominated account, or a dollar denominated account?

As an expat living in Mexico as a permanent resident, a dollar denominated Mexican bank account that pays above inflation rates is very appealing.
The fuel dispenser industry, from an IT perspective, is a racket. My family owns a small independent gas station and recently did a POS replacement.

When a shopper enters a Walmart they have a fixed amount of money in their pocket and generally a good idea of what they want. You might get them to grab a candy bar, or buy the next grade up of tires, but it is effectively shifting dollars that would have been spent there already. Revenue growth is all about adding more essential items to the store and eliminating trips to other retailers.

Amazon has much more discretionary budget to try and extract from their customers, so time on site is absolutely critical.

I'd say the two aren't even competitive at this point. Amazon will need many years to build out a robust vertically integrated grocery logistics network that reaches Walmart customers. A few Whole Foods in rich neighborhoods isn't going to cut it. On the other hand, Walmart will never figure out how to sell stuff online without losing money, and will probably kill itself trying to chase Amazon for some unknown reason.
Sort of, but not really. The UCMJ doesn't supersede Geneva Convention; if anything the Law of Land and Warfare builds on it. I can understand why civilians would think that though, we don't really teach people about how the military works so unless you've been in it, it's a black box where you fill in all the knowledge void with supposition.
I understand that you are probably joking. For anyone less clear, please remember that animals have complex needs in terms of environment, food, and care to live healthy and pleasant lives. Adorable baby chicks are not a pet to be adopted lightly, without appropriate preparation. Chickens are in many ways much more demanding than a cat or dog.

As a chicken owner myself, I've heard far too many sad stories of people implulse-buying a chick at a hardware store or livestock show, only for it to perish soon after due to easily-avoided oversights or misunderstandings.
> The increased cost aspect is interesting, and is something I've recently learned about. Fortunately our local goodwill is very active in pre-screening items when you drop off so I don't feel a huge need to get into the weeds with it.

So they're paying some dude to pre-screen instead of paying a larger trash bill. It's still a cost to them. If people were a little more conscientious, those costs could be eliminated.

> But then that makes recycling that much less impactful as well. I don't know what the right answer is here other than we need to improve the sorting/processing to avoid consumers needing to understand the intricacies.

Those intricacies are not hard to learn, and the improvements you seek are probably a lot harder than you or I realize.

Thank you for more context. To Clarkson’s credit, they did show the improvements being made to the ‘wilded’ areas, like making it more hospitable for bees and owls, however, likely because of TV interest reasons they never mentioned why they were doing them, and I think most people assumed because ‘it makes a good episode’. So they certainly did not leave unfarmed areas just lie as they are, they did several episodes worth of work to make them better for wildlife.
Yes! Fonts make a huge difference in the impression a piece of text will make. Just consider that italics and bold have been necessary features of word processors since pretty much the beginning.

I had Lyme twice as a kid too (in suburban Pennsylvania). It's not fun and it's a bit crazy that you can get it more than once. People are usually shocked when I tell them. I knew someone who was temporarily paralyzed on one side because of Lyme that they diagnosed late - it's scary.
I’ve known people with epilepsy who were banned from driving due to this possibly. If they had driven and gotten a seizure and killed someone, they would have been driving with a reckless disregard for the safety of others, which is enough of a mens rea to form intention for some level of murder conviction.

It is likely this is largely true, even if not formally banned from driving, so the answer is probably yes to your hypothetical they should go to prison, or pulling the normative phrase out, likely would go to prison (subject to many mitigating factors).
Those countries probably also require upfront price estimates and the hospital admins might not be trained experts in gaming regulation.
Then they are doing it wrong. There are all manner of things that can end up in the road that have never been (and will never be) classified.

Walmart app does this too actually. The main problem is that their inventory tracker is wildly inaccurate. I went looking for an item they claimed to have 4 of, and they in fact had none.

I think for a store as busy and understaffed as Walmart, real inventory gets to be a big guessing game.

To me the "coolest" feature is that it saves dormant copies in cells, so that even if there is no detectable virus in the blood, a few months after stopping taking anti-HIV drugs the virus will reappear. If you sample the virus right when the first spike reappears, you will see a bunch of different HIV virus types, essentially the history of each mutation on that person, as each virus strain saves its own copies...

If the vaccine is 94% effective at preventing serious disease it means the harsh measures are absolutely uncalled for.

Yes vulnerable people will die, it's a sad truth but you don't install the premises of dictatorship in a country, kill the economy just because a few people will die. They would die of something else if not COVID.

Right now in France we have about 60 deaths a day due to COVID. 1400 are dying everyday too for other reasons. On a country of 67 millions, this is a non event.

> I'd go into further detail about unvaxxed populations being breeding grounds for mutations

You see I have read the exact opposite because the vaccine puts pressure on the virus to evolve to bypass it. Anyway it's absolutely impossible to prove one way or another.

> As others have informed you, you can with a negative test result.

I know this perfectly well mind you. My problem isn't the test it's the QRCODE: this is the slippery slope that gets us directly toward worse than China.

A retrospective of the 2021 hacking world finals
The value of manual reviews seems to be undermined by the inconsistency from the perspective of the developer.

It seems like Apple's intent here is to create an ecosystem with a general rule of "don't be a prat", but is struggling to quantify the precise definition of "prat", and where the line sits, and what sits closest to the line, on each side of it.

That Apple doesn't allow anyone else to provide payment services or app distribution is a separate question of antitrust, but increasingly it looks like (putting aside the cash cow nature of extracting revenue from developers) this is starting to become a problem that doesn't have an Apple-esque problem to it.

Content moderation is inherently quite subjective, as the hyper scale social platforms are discovering. Apple is effectively trying to do highly technical content moderation, through (as I understand it) a web of outsourced contractors with varying levels of understanding of the content matter. It's starting to get to the point where this will surely impact on consumer confidence and reputation? Apple's annual SEC filings acknowledge the potential material revenue impact if they can't continue to hold a monopoly on payment processing and distribution on the store.

It seems like any antitrust/competition action taken there may implicitly force the issue of app review to be fixed or disrupted (allowing competing stores would let them do their own review, or choose not to do manual review as they wish). Perhaps that's the long-term likely outcome, even if not one Apple would wish today. They could then use their walled garden as a competitive differentiator and see if they can compete with others to win customers on that basis. That could give a very significant incentive to improve the developer experience, lest developers shift to a store with a better experience.
> They’d have to try it as a VoiceOver user, something that they don’t seem to bother doing. I’ve had several rejections in the past because the reviewer didn’t know anything about VoiceOver

It doesn’t really matter that it’s not requiring network access to work, when clearly the app makes it appear to need network access. What they ought to do, the developers of the app, is to remove the text about network access, and probably the whole network access feature, and make it clear how to use it with voiceover. I mean I get their frustration as a fellow developer, and I’ve not tried the app because I’m don’t want a keyboard that even asks for network access, but I think they need to try and look at what it looks like from the outside you know.

It's a 'my ex wife is a small, cold blooded but ultimately harmless joke'; 'Other small, harmless, cold-blooded animals' is incredibly vague given the specificity of the other requirements and covers many things.

I obviously dont get young people these days, at the ripe old age of mid 20's I dont really think of myself as old, I am happy to be put in my place by the next generation any day of the week.

Do 'young' people really even think about getting married? If people are to live an extra 10+ years, start professions 2-3 years later, work many jobs more, buy houses 5+ years later, maybe getting married a few years later isnt all that odd?

tbh I did not even think of the mail order bride angle - that would have been much stronger. Do celebrities still do the mail order children thing? Where they pluck some infant out of a refugee camp or warzone and adopt them into the glitz and glamour of hollywood?

People with credit cards shop at Walmart too, and there's a significant amount of marketing effort done to convince people to get new items they weren't planning on while they're there. Plenty of people there can be sold new things without going into a "oh, this new toy for my kid on the aisle endcap looks nice, time to put away the dozen eggs because I only have X dollars allocated for this trip" same-net-spending reaction.

(Anecdotally, my behavior is basicaly the opposite of what you describe: I got to Amazon when I already want a specific thing, and I find their browsing experience god-awful. I go to a physical store when I want to browse or shop without direction. Maybe I'll end up with a new shirt, or a book, or a video game, or a plant... maybe nothing...)

At a certain point, base load has to be met during low wind nights. Renewable energy is cheap and efficient. However it doesn't meet base load requirements without substantial storage. Nuclear does meet those requirements. Currently we are using natural gas. Even if you had 10x the necessary capacity of solar, you would still need some sort of night time storage which currently doesn't exist. In addition you need something to offset power losses and increased demand in higher latitudes during the winter.

That's what makes it amusing, but I don't necessarily agree with "Go code that uses 20% of CPU time in GC is usually bad Go code", and I certainly would disagree if you omitted the word "usually".

The keyboard asks for full access which is okay BUT...
Apple says keyboards have to work if the user denies full access. That's reasonable BUT...

FlickType claims it does work without full access as long as you have VoiceOver turned on.

I don't think it's unreasonable for Apple to require the keyboard works without VoiceOver turned on but it sounds like they've allowed this in the past.

It sounds like they've gone back and forth with Apple on this multiple times. I'm not sure why they don't just "make it work" without VoiceOver turned on so they can avoid this landmine every time they submit an update. Maybe that would be a huge amount of work, but it seems like implementing a crappy basic keyboard shouldn't be too bad.
