I think you're misinformed, you currently cant use Apple payment in spotify.

Apple currently taks 100% of profits from Apple Music and takes 30% of their direct competitors, essentially 130% profit. Margins are already very low for a lot of these apps, so its impossible to even compete using Apples payment.
Asked a philosophy phd friend about this list, some thoughts:
Why so few primary texts?
Why mostly anglosphere authors?
Why there's no arab or medieval authors?
And most important, where is hegel? Where is his history of philosophy at least?
That would be MIT, me fix.

Don't know, aLisp is not very mature and probably not as fast.

I suspect it's easier to hack on and customize though.
BSc is a pretty broad category

Or an outright hostility toward Christian philosophy. St. Augustine[1] is conspicuously absent there as well and he’s certainly not medieval.

I'm not so sure- look at how important social connections, status symbols, and power become in places that are already universally wealthy.

Value starts to be put in things that by definition require scarcity: exclusive neighborhoods, fancy restaurants with hard to get reservations, concierge doctors, private vacation spots, vip type shopping where the store is only open for you, private club memberships, social-political connections

Even most nimby-ism is a form of this.

Plus anywhere people are willing to pay higher prices specifically because of who can't afford them. From fancy grocery stores to 1st class airplane seats to golf courses to "VIP status" of clubs to fast-passes/extended-hours at theme parks.

It's a lot more than "coolness".
No, it's not. When people can downvote correct information without a reason, it makes HN objectively worse. And it happens all the time.

"make it easier / less painful for everyone in the company (or at least engineers to start) to create documentation. "

Exactly. I am not averse to writing most of the content but at least in my company the documentation processes are very intricate and I really don't want to learn all the details and rules for submitting docs. I have enough to do with wrestling with AWS and feel my time is better spent on that.

Same for booking flights. We used to have somebody who would book flights. That role got eliminated to save costs and now the engineers are burning countless hours figuring out how Concur works and what the latest travel rules are.

It's nice so have support staff that are experts in these systems. And I think it's actually cheaper. there is a reason why the big guys have assistants.
So in that example, either the authorized maintenance employs gods instead of normal people or the consumers are missing both eyes and possibly half the brain.

Because it doesn't take a genius to understand cleaning needs to be thorough, and the authorized cleaner isn't employing the best and brightest with CEO level salaries.
Not to one up, but Dell is even better. You can extend the warranty after it has expired! You can re-up but they have a clause that you must wait 30 days before making an accidental damage claim (and it cannot have happened during the time without a warranty, but that is not enforceable).

I actually did this once and tried to submit a warranty support on day 1 of buying the new warranty and was turned down, but they called me about a week later saying they would waive the 30 days and ended up doing about $500 in repairs for $130 cost of the new warranty.

(the other condition is that you are only allowed one accidental repair event per year)

"...governments essentially never allow breaking changes to come from outside the established power centers."

That's the problem. It's why democracy is in such one hell of mess and why many, many people have lost faith in the democratic process.

If we don't take steps to resolve it and make systems fairer and more equitable for everyone then it's only a matter of time before the whole flaky edifice comes crashing down all around us - and that's no good for everyone (revolution is pretty much the worst solution, it's very much the last resort).

Anyone with half a brain knows that copyright law is disastrously unfair and favors those with money and power to fight 'artificial' cases, so schemes such as this to make copyright fairer for everyone should be encouraged. (...After all, the law is protecting a privileged few at the expense of everyone else.)

If a lawsuit in any country that's signatory to the Berne Convention were to fail against this novel approach to the copyright problem then it would change the status quo forever.

A precedent anywhere has the potential to break the nexus. For starters, in countries that ignored it one's likely to find even more copyright violations as the consequence.

Frankly, I wish this would happen. I'd like nothing more than a general rush towards a Thoreau-like Civil Disobedience over unfair copyright laws, as for once it'd force governments to act in favor of everyone despite the actions of powerful vested interests.

(BTW, that's not inconsistent with my earlier comment about democracy. If there are deliberate/institutional blockages against having fair representation in democracies, then civil disobedience over one specific issue is much better way forward than a revolution, for example, the suffragettes fight over voting rights for women and demonstrations against the Vietnam War are two good instances of successful outcomes.)

Last I checked, GitHub still refused to update their SSH key generation documentation to include instructions on using the "new" openssh key format, leaving users with insecure private keys.

The argument for why, according to every vendor I've reported this to, is their users are stupid and will get confused by the strange new detail that if their key is copied to a server that hasn't been upgraded in 8 years, that server might not be able to read the private key [locally]. It is much easier to just use the insecure defaults. For an SSH key.

Lex Fridman gives us the links and the timeline so that we can just skip it, but still see them if we want, and gives hours of content in return.
Ok, so how does the franchisee paying high fees to Taylors for "support" help McD's bottom line? Are they getting a kickback of some kind? Maybe. I'm not sure I've seen any evidence of that.

There was a time that Microsoft was trying to buy Intuit but fell through due to US Justice department. Since then, there has been many "synergies" & partnerships between both.

SmartThings | Embedded Software Engineer | Onsite (Minneapolis) or Remote | Full-time

SmartThings is a Samsung-owned company operating independently from offices in Mountain View, CA and Minneapolis, MN, and we’re creating the easiest way for anyone to get the most out of their connected devices.

We’re looking for someone with diverse embedded Linux experience to help lead current and new initiatives on the Core Hub team. We work to support first and third-party platforms, using Yocto as well as a variety of other frameworks and tools. On the systems side, most of our services are written in Rust, with FFI to existing C code where needed. Experience in Android Systems (AOSP) development also a huge plus!

Our team is a mix of onsite and remote, though most of us are based in Minneapolis.

The store also doesn't generally review the boxes of shoes and ensure there's no references to nike.com on them, and if they did, there's plenty of other stores for Nike to sell at.

If you want the analogy to make sense, let's assume there's exactly two places that sell shoes and they have a stranglehold on the market, and they both mark shoes up the same amount and far more than they would if there was competition between them on price, and they refused to allow any reference to nike.com and how you can get shoes far cheaper there on or in any of the packaging.

That would be a very dysfunctional market, and I think the reason would clearly be the anticompetitive practices that prevented competitors and that resulted from them not competing on price.
These are just timeshares, how is this startup worth over 1 Billion dollars?
Yeah Intel actually dropped the core count on the 11900k to 8 down from 10 on the 10900k (and it predictably performs worse), which seems like a bizarre choice when they're currently playing second fiddle to AMD who have much higher core counts on their top end parts.

I'm not talking about exploits. I'm talking about credit card numbers.

If you want to put together a coherent world view that says it's fine to copy a thousand live credit card numbers to a public Pastebin page, that's fine. I'm not interested in litigating that with you.

What I'm interested in is whether you can then come up with an argument against enforcing copyright that doesn't produce that outcome, because I don't think very many people share the world view that it's just fine to traffic in unauthorized copies of other people's credit card numbers.
I'm from Uruguay and here we've got an app called PedidosYa which is basically UberEats but localized, and its engaging in some really dodgy shit when it comes to getting refunds, cancelling orders, or getting help on anything.
If you click on 'get help' it opens a few pre-built response trees that always lead to a version of "sorry we can't do anything to help, also no, you can't talk to a human"; except for one and that's the "My order never arrived and I want a refund" option. It opens a chat that has the following features: It is a web-app inside of the app you were already on, so its laggy as hell, and text isn't rendered in any way you'd call acceptable; It has some weird cache thing where if you press the back button on your phone, the whole interaction is discarded and you have to go through the whole process all over again, new support rep, write your issue description and explain everything again (can't copy nor paste messages!), etc. Same result if your phone locks due to waiting for 16 minutes to get help; Also you can't get your money back! You get a coupon for next time, and those are only for pre-determined denominations, you only get one, and it is rounded down, complete BS.

This is, I think, engineered to be as deficient as possible, not an accident at all.

Yup.

One of the most eye-opening perspectives for me was to ask myself -- how would I judge a friend if it were them rather than me? In this case, if a friend didn't do their laundry that day?

Suddenly I realized I was holding myself to a standard 10x what I was expecting of anyone else. And stopping that was life-changing. It just took deciding to treat myself as kindly as I treat others.

Just like you -- I still get basically the same amount of stuff done, or maybe 90% of before -- but stop feeling horribly guilty about myself all the time. And if I lost 10%, it's a worthwhile tradeoff.
Unless you're reading millions of LOC and compiling everything from source then you also have no guarantee there isn't a delta on any complex software you run.

Guarantees are hard to come by. That's where reasonable amounts of risk assessment enter the picture.

Yeah. One thing I didn't mention, is that I generally will spend 6 - 8 months or more on a book. I'm not always in the right state of mind to read, and often I can spend a really long time on one passage. I don't really see finishing the book as a goal, just to peel back the layers and try as hard as possible to understand the depth.

For some reason German philosophy has always caught my thought process. It started with Nietzsche, and then went outward from there.
Smiling to cameras is a learned behavior, and not something unfamiliar adults do naturally. (Kids do more smiling in general and are less aware of cameras / less self-conscious about their appearance, so if you go somewhere without a culture of cameras and take candid shots, you’ll get more smiling kid pictures than smiling adult pictures.

My godparents are indigenous Maya peasants from southern Mexico, and until the last decade or two no adult in their village would ever smile to a camera, and certainly not in a formal portrait. Nowadays they are more exposed to mainstream Mexican/World culture, and norms are changing fast, but if you tell some adult you want to take their portrait you are still likely to get a very serious expression.

I don’t understand this mindset,
“I want to subscribe to services of a shady company, so I will let apple to take 30% of my payments from all the developers. To manage it for me”.

You know what thinking of it, I think instead apple must start adding 30% markup to the consumers explicitly instead of developers and make apple payment option requirement. That way developers don’t have to pay for the convenience, and the consumers can decide if they want thing cheaper or convenient.

I'm training for a triathlon. I kinda suck at it. Taking me way longer than I had planned, much slower progress.

It's humbling, but also freeing too. It's ok to not optimize every aspect of life. It might take me a year of training to be able to finish a triathlon instead of 3 or 4 months, and I'll likely be in the back of the pack ... so what?

Three points:

1. The division of philosophy and religion into separate camps is a modern thing. It doesn’t hold up very well to scrutiny, either; much of what we consider “Western secular” values and ideas are really just modifications and reinterpretations of old Christian and Greco-Roman ideas. I recommend the book A Secular Age by Charles Taylor if you are interested in how this process has gone (and continues to go.)

2. There are extensive and thorough philosophical traditions in the Islamic world, Russian world, Indian world, and East Asia (especially China and Japan.) I really wouldn’t brush all of these away so quickly.

3. You might find the Kyoto School interesting and a good entry point. They attempted to synthesize much of Eastern and Western thought.
What is the reasonable test process you're suggesting to verify the effectiveness of the drug against COVID? What is your basis for believing the drug will work if only given "longer" despite showing zero effect in the existing tests?
Fine, I'll bite. Which doctors, and which studies are showing this result?

I spent time reading about Ivermectin and the most reliable info I could find is from the NIH and WHO and neither recommends it for COVID-19:

- https://www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/detail/who-adv...

- https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies/ant...

They seem to have reviewed many Ivermectin studies and found all of them low quality and/or insufficiently controlled.

Edit: grammar, formatting
The workers were there before the lack of kids.
I think sometimes its a little masochistic, since not all of the material will be interesting. Part of the drive is knowing that these works offer some of the most depth of human thought known to man. My thinking is it would be a shame to live and not experience just a piece of what they have to offer.

On my list are also the great epics, the Illiad and Odyssey
Same here. I ignored it and kept scrolling then suddenly all the pictures turned into the same adidas ad at once. Very dystopian.
>When we were foragers, food was scarce. During the agrarian age, it was land. Following the industrial revolution, capital became scarce.

as a result we have people who are hungry, don't have land nor capital.

>With digital technologies scarcity is shifting once more.

definitely. In addition to concentrating material wealth, real estate and capital, the elite is also getting digital power over the rest of us. That digital power, i.e. lack of it, is that new scarcity. You're watched, tracked, predicted, scored, etc. while you're completely powerless over it.
it'd be interesting to run these services like p2p torrents - where you both serve, but also consume bandwidth. Popular services of course, will run better as there are more peers, and little used services will die out.

I dont know how this can work with a private documents model - presumably you don't want to share your data, but just the compute. May be IPFS or something of that nature...
Those doctors are not conducting controlled trials.

Also, to treat someone for 10+ days it would be useful to have them survive the first five days, right?

As a long-time Apple user, five years ago I would have laughed at this and said that that’s ridiculous.

Unfortunately, Apple has started to do almost exactly the same thing. For example, in my iPhone settings, one of the first items at the moment is a promotion for an offer to get 1 year Apple TV+ for free. I can only dismiss it by tapping on it. It’s not the first such “offer” for an Apple service that I’ve had to dismiss, and there’s no way to say that I don’t want ads in my settings app. What does it have to do with settings anyway?

In the past I’ve gotten promotions for Apple services as notifications as well.
It'd be nice to see what beta means here in the announcement.
This is strange to me: We’re likely less than two weeks out from this device being announced alongside the new iPhones. How can “small-scale” production only be beginning now?

I think the reporting is confusing issues with 2022’s Apple Watch & the upcoming 2021 edition.
Not denigrating Western Philosophy at all -- whose ubiquity may well be due to Eurocentrism primarily -- just saying there's more to look at elsewhere if one is interested in philosophy in general.
Do you remember what this used to say? https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2...
The "root" of the Ivermectin craziness seems to be a study that found an effect against the virus in vitro, probably in cell cultures. Not sure about the details.

Everything else is anecdotal. Quite a few Covid-19 patients do survive, and when doctors prescribe it, they are not doing randomized controlled trials, so they can easily fool themselves and others into thinking Ivermectin works.
What's weird about this? It's a concept that's been around forever "time shares". Commonly used for aircraft and many other types of things like vacation homes.

It's a really bad idea to lie on a visa application. Even if this lie is by omission and unintentional.

If you're caught in such a "lie" you risk not only refusal of your visa, but you also risk being banned from the country for years.

It would be a different matter if the question would specifically exclude EU travel. But looking at the UKs behavior towards foreigners in the last ten years I very much doubt it.

This hostility is not something cooked up by me, or felt anecdotally, it's an actual government policy implemented in 2012[1].
