I'm confused. Does he need this form's approval to compile on XCode and push over USB to his device, or does he only need it to submit to the app store?

Handling specialized permissions one at a time through specialized teams could make sense for distribution. allows the whole-app reviewers to not have to also become experts on multicast best practices/security and having a second reviewer handle that.
Side note, what the blog software he's using? Looks really nice

Lots of other stuff in there, but the forced Christianity thing caught my eye.

"Weekly Bible study is mandatory. For the first four months, so is church."

So you can be sentenced into being a practicing "Christian".
I don’t think so. The EU is, as you say, an economic union and is considered the largest economy in the world (last time I checked, which has been awhile tbh.)

It wouldn’t make sense to compare individual European nations to China.

Not were, are. I'm currently living in Japan, and most of the emails I receive are encoded in Shift-JIS or ISO-2022-JP. Many websites too. Thankfully modern software is quite robust and displays everything properly, but I still get the random mojibake from time to time.
Honda does not give me an SDK and API to run arbitrary software on the computers in my Civic either. But obviously I own it.

The state of federal law is that you own your iPhone and can run whatever software you want on it. Jailbreaking is legal, largely because you own your iPhone. The law just doesn’t force Apple to make it easy for you.

On a practical note, I’m interested in thoughts on why Apple might try to lock down multicast, specifically, but I have to scroll through dozens of comments arguing about a software system (iOS + App Store) that is now over 13 years old. Is there anyone on HN today who does not understand how iPhone software works? Why do we have to rehash a decade-old conversation on every single iPhone/iOS Apple story?

If you're going to make a criticism of the US, this is easy to flip around - every city in Europe looks exactly like the other. A city centre with narrow streets and a central church or cathedral surrounded by blocks of flats. The specific architectural styles change but the idea is almost the same throughout.

I've been using the thumb operated Logitech trackball, whatever the current release of it is when I buy one, since 2002 or so. I think I've gone through three or four? My current one is the wireless one from 2014 or so, and I don't like it quite as much as the old ones, but it's better than having a mouse.

That’s a interesting point (IPv6)

My limited knowledge of multicast from working with network software a while ago was that it’s local network only, and udp and you needed to “subscribe” to get the broadcast messages. There was also a keep alive component which is a little different from normal UDP.

I wrote a tool to help debug the system by subscribing and then dumping the messages. Perhaps this the problem Apple has with it?

My understanding was a lot of routers didn’t support multicast, I know we had some issues with our network configuration.

What happens on IPv6 is a interesting question.

I did exactly this project for a high traffic site about 10 years ago. We got datacenter rooms wholesale that included power and cooling. Did everything else ourselves and cut our burn rate in half. However, we were totally open source so no licensing costs.

Even after leasing all the hardware, hiring the staff, getting the transit brought in, we still cut our compute costs in half.

Even so, we ended up keeping cloudfront+S3 for serving static content because we couldn't beat the price they offered.

I'd need a $150 trackball to last 12 years to make it worthwhile

Only if you choose to exclude social factors from your shopping decisions.

I get it, lots of people do. That's why we have WalMart and Amazon.com and Target filled with cheap Chinese junk while the small business down the street can't get shelf space.

But if you're someone who values what the company is doing, that 12 years may be closer to five or six years. And if the quality is better than Logitech, it may last that whole time, instead of requiring replacement every 2 years.

(I don't use trackballs or mouses, so I have no skin in this game.)

Messing with the software, to this day, is also allowed as you own the device. The only thing stopping OP is their own technical skills/the publicly available tools that allow modification of the code in the right way (as in: jailbreaking is still legal, but Apple has the right to put barriers in the way of it for security reasons).

This sounds too good to be true. I don't know about other countries in Europe, but in The Netherlands it is definitely illegal to have a contractor work in employment conditions. I.e. you're not allowed to give a contractor set work hours, not allowed to specify how they work, not allowed to prevent them from outsourcing the work, etc. If you do those things, and the tax service finds out, or a "contractor" gets sick and decides to demand you pay them sick leave, you're in deep trouble.

> Amazon has the attitude of “get the thing to the customer, immediately”. Most of the other places have an attitude of “we want to build a long-lasting relationship with you, the consumer”.

Sometimes that long-lasting relationship is what ends up paying dividends in better service, though. I'm by no means unwilling to shop around, but I have been a long-time customer at my LBS and will always look to them first. I crashed in a weekend cross race two years ago and bent my rear brake rotor when the rider behind me rode over it. My LBS didn't have my rotor in stock, but they called around and found when at another shop in the US and had it shipped up before the weekly Tues night series. That's for a lowly low-category masters racer.

When you have a personal relationship with a business, it is possible for them to pull out all the stops when it matters.

> Somewhere I can see lisp really winning is performance.

Possible. But the language does not make the platform. Especially if we are talking about flexibility, not performance. If you just want performance, and just enough flexibility, then there are far better editors around.

> Make a better application platform than Electron and you're onto a winner I reckon.

I highly question whether this is even possible. A platform is far more than just a funky language and satisfying random benchmarks. Webstack is in terms of flexibility, support, recognition and optiomization on a level that no other platform can generally compete with today. You can compete on individual aspect, but will still lose out on most others. And this will not change in the next years. The money and time invested into the webstack is nothing any other community can even compete with.
Considering the explosion in emoji alongside photo and video now that it's more accessible to the masses, one suspects that most people prize being able to communicate in more ways that might be informationally inefficient, as opposed to what you seem to prize more in being able communicate through text alone.
I think your comment is the result of effective propaganda.

Neither you nor the article you link to provide any clear path for what you think these people should do instead.

There is the implication that they shouldn't fly anywhere. So are you and pagesix "cancelling" flying? Or are you only cancelling flying for your political enemies? If they chose not to fly, would you mock them for that instead, yes of course.

And these people who are apparently your political enemies because they want to do something about climate change. So basically, you're on team fossil fuels destroying the planet but you get to feel good about yourself because you're non-specifically angry at someone else for reasons that don't really add up.

Can you be more specific, is there anything there but a distraction?

> Btw this binary view of the world where Amazon is bad and others are good (or vice versa) seems to be a very American thing.

It's not.

In France it's the same thing. But the "Amazon is bad" is not really about destroying businesses (since it was done decades ago by malls, now cities are just banks, insurances and clothing crapshops like Zara) but about the fact that they are not paying taxes and they provide awful work conditions to people.

So you tend to be considered as someone who doesn't care if you buy at Amazon. (But we're still waiting for proof that companies trying to compete with Amazon don't act the same way).
"I'm happy doing what I'm doing"?

I've almost been fired for saying something like this (that my goal was to perform well in my current role). They wanted to get rid of me because I didn't meet their standards for "ambition". Now I had already been filling a role above my grade for 2 years and they weren't promoting me. I'm not going to continue trying to be promoted without hope, so of course I'm just going to try being successful in my actual role.

> This guy didn't even have an addiction problem, I'm almost certain the judge is getting some sort of incentive to punish these people with this program.

Maybe. After reading the entire article, I think that it's a little more complex. The convict gets the option of jail or chicken farm.

After choosing the chicken farm, the convict still has the option of doing the jail time instead. The reason they work so hard, endure the horrific conditions and do so without pay is because they still feel that it is better than jail.

The problem arises when Judges (who, like you said, may have an incentive to provide slaves) start weighting the jail option heavier in order to promote the chicken farm option; for example, offer 5 years in jail or two years in slavery.

Another problem with biased Judges is that they may start convicting based on the labour requirements, not on the criminal intent, element and other factors.

Anyone here who also read The Talisman (Stephen King, Peter Straub)? Similar thing there.

If so, it will be another demonstration of how the Obama administration has failed to defend U.S. values even in cases where — as in Bahrain — it wields extraordinary leverage.

I don't even know why they keep saying "U.S. values" - USA doesn't have values (no nation does) - it has policies and those policies are self-serving/pragmatic and change as per geopolitical needs. U.S. values are no more than Hollywood's populist marketing scheme. Countries basically use those "values" as shields/excuses when needed and set them aside whenever it is required/convenient to do so.
> I'm using Pulse as an acquisition channel for Paper

If I ever look for the next profitable business idea I would setup a free payment analytics tools. I'd have insight into many businesses and how they're doing. Joking aside, the reason I haven't switched for one of the smaller players in the payment analytics space is that I worry by free or very cheap offering they might use my business data for something else. Here it's an acquisition channel, with profitwell upselling churn service and consulting. I like it very much that you're open about the business model, and the open source / self-hosted version of course.

There isn't a real solution to my unjustified worries. Paranoid enough I shouldn't even use AWS because Amazon might see my usage and decide to launch a competitor (they won't).

They're poor, not stupid. Moving to a blue state doesn't magically make you richer and opportunity doesn't mean anything unless there's a chance you can capitalize on it.

Unless you have a skill or trait that somehow gives you a leg up over the local poors you're destined to be just as poor when you get there. And if you do have some path upward you may as well work that path locally with the benefit of your support network.

If you're young, a hard worker and paying into your support network a lot more than you're getting out and don't have a lot of time/effort/money sunk into your support network yet than a bus ticket might be a good idea (and young people often do move long distances). If you're supporting a family then the better bennies might be worth it but if you're supporting a family moving away from your support network without taking several steps backwards in terms of stability is going to be nigh on impossible.

One of the biggest things that keeps people poor is an inability to have a financial buffer for unplanned expenses. And everyone knows that relocating is fraught with high risk of those kinds of expenses. If the destination has a higher cost of living all the risks are magnified.
I’d have thought browser history would be a very poor second to the “hard” metrics. If the credit companies were lacking data then they could probably do worse than look at your family history as far as credit goes.

From what I understand for dogs it's very important for you to feed them, but for cats it's more important that food is made available to it regularly and consistently than from you specifically.

If a cat is hungry and knows you provide food, it will keep trying to figure out ways to make you give it the food which can lead to very strange and negative behaviours.

However if a cat learns that food will show up in a mysterious box at precise times, it will just wait until that time which will make it happier as it understands what it has to do to eat (wait) and you happier because it won't be scratching at you and yowling
