I think Nintendo in particular revels in the scarcity. They value their IP above all else, and they know that's what their customers value, and they want to squeeze it for every last drop of fan loyalty they can. See the artificially limited-time (digital!) release of "Mario 3D All-Stars": https://www.nintendo.com/products/detail/super-mario-3d-all-...
Unless they changed something recently, the last time I cancelled my Adobe CC subscription I just signed into my account on their website and clicked "cancel". That's it.

And one time I accidentally cancelled it because I meant to go back and logically clicked "cancel" (the button should have been labelled "End Subscription" or something less ambiguous). In that case I called Adobe and in two minutes they uncancelled my subscription by starting a new one, so I got like 3 months free.

> the solution ... is a mix of technologies

Certainly.

> Even if cost does fall, no battery can power a gigawatt scale grid for more than a few minutes. Yes - minutes. During an extreme weather event, what will happen?

In an emergency the primary focus isn't, for example, on powering offices, powering every single thing you can. The focus should be on powering homes for a relatively short duration at reduced consumption. The goal is survival, not keeping everything on the grid powered up 24/7. Two Powerwalls can power a home for two to three days at reduced energy consumption (rationing). There's no reason we can't get to that type of outcome as routine in the next 10-20 years, given the cost of homes today (nearing $400,000 median sale price) and the continual decline in battery costs (and that's assuming no great battery breakthroughs). There's no reason all new homes built in the US shouldn't come with the equivalent of at least three Powerwalls of energy storage 20 years out.

> I wish Apple fans would see the world outside their bubble and empathize more

What if we already listened to the arguments and discussion and just disagree? Maybe you should empathize more with me and not try to change something that I enjoy and have enjoyed since it was originally released? Where's your empathy?

> What costs?

Apple makes money. That money funds the development of the iPhone. It also funds and allows them to create programs and initiatives I support like data privacy labels. If Apple is forced to throw this stuff out, those are costs that I now bear as a consumer. Apple might have to raise the price of the iPhone either directly or indirectly. Or competitive pressures may force them to remove simple payment methods like Apple Pay, not force developers to allow anonymous sign-ons, and other things. From my perspective there is nothing to gain. I don't want two or more App Stores. Period. I want one, just how it is, with Apple dictating the terms. It works well for me. Apple and I are on a team here.

> Their cartel is pure margin. They invented this scheme

Weren't you just complaining about not having high enough margin? So only you get to make money and not Apple or other companies? I'm an Apple shareholder (directly and indirectly). Their margins benefit me directly. Yours? Not so much. So let's not act like it's some big evil David vs Goliath thing. You're running just another business.

> You love our pain?

It might be pain to you, but it certainly isn't to me. I'd rather have far fewer apps than to see things change or have to deal with another App Store. I love my walled garden and developers like you are metaphorically barbarians at the gates coming to destroy a system I enjoy and works well for me. But why would you care about that when you want to make higher margins for your business? Something about empathy I think?

Sorry to sound like an asshole here. Just a hot topic.

You can do similar on the Kindle or any other ereader. There's a chrome extension called 'send2kindle' that sends a simplified version of the webpage you have open directly to your device.

I'll just open tabs on the browser of whichever articles or texts will consist of my morning reading diet that day and send them all to my Kindle. Very practical device to read and no more falling in a trap of continuous clicking on more and more links, while lending a crappy level of attention to the actual reading.

You're completely correct here. The only other real option in this space is CCBill - and they:

a) only do payments - not hosting and everything that OF does

b) still take a ~18-20% cut, in addition to annual flat fees

c) are really fucking unbelievably terrible

Yeah overfeeding mouse with a single isolated nutrient tells you exactly and only that overfeeding a mouse with that single nutrient is bad.

You're talking about the same human right creating conflicts between 2 individuals. I read the original comment as conflicts between 2 distinct human rights, ergo my brief example.

> 8 months ago I was self-harming and ready to off myself because of endlessly firing applications into the void and reaching the end of my finances

I am sorry you experienced this. Many of us have experienced similar things in our careers. When I did, I had my brother's couch I could crash on while I figured things out, and to be honest, parents who could help me with rent when my post dotcom-bust job paid peanuts.

To the extent that your difficulties were exacerbated by an insufficient social safety net is perhaps the greatest indictment of our society. Incentive structures matter, and structures that put people at the brink between achievement and self harm do a lot of damage to our human capital.

Not everyone will be pushed to the point of self-harm, but the proximity between destitution and achievement is too close, especially for those without family and community safety nets.
Each one of those things can be done for free until a certain point (e-mail marketing) or completely free (static sites/hosting). Feel free to ping me if you need concrete examples of services that can do that – and there are many.

Do you have any good alternatives?
Our subsidizing and marketing college for everyone is the root problem, and it’s calling all sorts of knock-on effects. This not only leaves people in debt and causes young people to put off productive life, but have created a surplus of people with useless degrees that are going in and remaking various aspects of life and politics into an academic mold according to academic theories that have little real-world value.

If we’re not willing to end massive subsidies for higher education (and we’re not) we should use the government’s massive leverage (by virtue of that flow of dollars) to impose tight enrollment caps on various degrees, and shut down universities that aren’t creating economic value. We should also create alternative credentialing systems that cut universities out of the picture, because degrees are often just used as a proxy for intelligence and work ethic.

I don't really want my family photos reviewed by strangers. "Reducing the search space" of photos on my phone isn't an outcome I want to live with. At the time someone is looking at photos of my, my wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend, and my kids, they'd better have a darned good reason (e.g. a search warrant).

I'd also appreciate if Apple let me know if my false positives were reviewed and found to not be CASM.

Think about this for a second.

Your family is walking into Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods and all get killed by a missile from the sky. Or you send your children off to school and the school gets accidentally hit by a missile. Killed in an instant and the family of those victims listed above have no idea why and have zero recourse.

If this started happening on US soil on a daily basis, I wonder if more people would care. The top comment here is talking about the article text and AI vs. the topic of the article.

> they couldn't change the thread scheduler without a new major release?

I'd argue that thread schedulers are a core component of any operating system.

That being said: Windows8 had support for heterogenous processors (aka: ARM's big.LITTLE), so I'm not sure if a fundamental change was really needed here. Microsoft already put a lot of hard work for those Windows8 phones (which used the same kernel as Windows8 desktop).
I personally can't have any respect for managers that clearly understand what "everything is fine" means and say they they want drama-free employees.

"Drama" is a way to express personal emotions, and probably wishes to change things to better, which I really hope my manager cares about.

Oh, I know, but in the theoretical world where there's a Netflix like subscription, I would assume that means a lot of different IP was also gathered there, like Sega, Atari, older Playstation and Xbox titles, etc.

There's not a lot of incentive for some of those groups to come together, but I imagine even if most could be assembled, Nintendo would be particularly resistant.

> I was hoping for some more documentation

Agreed. This is a good library but it is let down by lack of documentation. Reading the source doesn't help, e.g. this is "explaining" the parameters in the plot function:

# Whether to use a backup for the layers
backup = None,
# Custom postprocessing function on layers
postprocessing = None,
# Radius (in case of circular plot)
radius = None,

These sorts of comments merely repeat what's in the code and are worse than useless.

I really doubt this. In the long term, a few people Apple wants to frame will surely slip into the mix. If Apple didn't want Trump to win, a CASM flag a week before the election might do it.

To be clear, consent relates to things like, well, album covers and other types of commercial photography such as marketing and advertising. There's no consent needed for editorial (e.g. news) photography.

This also wouldn't even be a discussion if this were some obscure art photography. It just happens to be on an iconic album cover.
This album was released when I was in HS and a classmate was asked by a teacher to turn her t-shirt with the album cover inside-out. She asked why and the teacher said it could be CP. She turned the shirt inside-out. I felt the teacher had a reasonable POV.

No. They are allowed a library memory pool.

For myself, no. I've played naked ultimate frisbee points before and there are undoubtedly pictures of me naked doing ridiculous shit as part of college frisbee team hazing floating around the internet (or one of my former teammates hardrives) somewhere - and I honestly don't care.

Although, that said, those pictures have never surfaced. My feelings about them might change if a coworker pulled them up unexpectedly one day and started giving me shit for it.

Whatever our individual feelings about nudity - or how it should be perceived in society (and I agree, it should not be shameful or automatically sexualized the way it is) our society does view nudity a certain way. And people are allowed to feel about they feel about that. If it makes it worse for him, and it sure seems to, then that's something we have to respect. Even if we wish it were otherwise.

My main thing is voluntary consent. He couldn't. He should have been able to. I don't think parents should have the right to effectively sell their kids before they can consent. If that means we don't can't use kids younger than a certain age in modeling and marketing, so be it.
Well, if you have kids, especially newborns, you do take and send a whole lot of pictures. That alone suggests Apple CSAM thing will have a busy time trying to figure out which is CP and which is just a parent sharing their own kid pictures.

Naturally, it does not help that we now effectively have no privacy.
You're agreeing with me. When they were serving up niche recommendations it was an intentional business decision. If they could convince people to watch niche things, it reduces their IP costs as those things are cheaper to license and they're also in a stronger bargaining position as they don't need any one specific show.

What happened is consumers didn't agree. People wanted to watch the Office, not another feel-good comedy Netflix recommended. That forced Netflix to abandon their original strategy and spend a lot more on content.

If[1] Critical Race Theory says that all whites are inherently guilty of racism, that seems on its face to be exclusive of respect[2].

[1] I'm not an expert on Critical Race Theory. I do know that White Fragility says this, and it's often classified as Critical Race Theory. Is that "folk" Critical Race Theory, or the real thing? Are we in No True Scotsman territory? I don't know. But if Critical Race Theory isn't that, then the proponents of the real thing need to do a much better job explaining to the general public what it is and isn't.

[2] Note well: Respect for whites is absolutely not the most critical problem in race relations. But you aren't going to fix race relations on a foundation of contempt for one race, no matter which race it is.

> A useful HN feature would be small space to put in a summary, like the abstract

Interestingly, HN does actually save accompanying text when you submit a link also. It just doesn’t show the text on the website.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28180298

Personally I like it the way that it is. I think showing an accompanying text for links would allow too much for anyone posting a link to “force” everyone to read their comment on it. Leaving it so that comments must be posted separately in order to be visible in the thread makes it so that useful accompanying comments can float to the top, whereas a useless comment from the submitter sinks to the bottom while still allowing the submitted link to be voted on individually.
Covid became a critical political tool in an election year in the US. In doing so, it ceased to be simply a pandemic and instead became whatever it needed to play its part in idpol.

Advanced education is a rough form for most sex workers as most companies will not hire people who have their porn all over. Certainly not in America and definitely not in the rest of the world. Sometimes we think of Europe as being more 'liberal' for example, but they are really more communitarian. Open minded but still culturally very traditional.

For some professions and companies it won't matter but for others it'll matter a lot.

Because we have just started with all of this, and we also don't know the future, it's hard to 'price in' what the future cost of doing this kind of work with respect to future options.
