If you guys didn't read the readme then here's the reason why did the author named it "Haku".

"I call it 'haku' because I like the sound of it, and also because that word can be written in many ways and mean many things in Japanese. I was definitely thinking about Haku from Spirited Away. Also, I like the resemblance with Raku, the implementation language. I would write it 珀 (amber) or 魄 (soul, spirit)."
My observations from reading this comment thread, are that Time is a construct created by jewellers to sell more watches. :)

Also, we should switch to UTC globally. My 22:00 is your 22:00 and their 22:00. For me it's my bedtime, for you it's lunchtime, and for them it's breakfast. People should adjust their daily activities around the daylight hours they have, and let time be less of a controlling force in their lives.

We live in a globalised world, especially in business. So with the whole world on UTC, everyone knows when the meeting starts, when the delivery arrives, and when the end of the year starts and finishes.

And if that fails, we should just attach rockets at the poles and push/pull the planet back upright to get rid of the problem altogether.

> You may not fall into either of those two camps, but let me assure you, it's a lot of people.

I think thou'st meant "Thou may not fall into either of those two camps, but let me assure thee, it's a lot of people."

The commenter thou art replying to is a singular person, not a group, and as we know, while other words may come and go, the use of pronouns in a language does not change over time.
This is a really good point, one I hadn't throught about. What if the name creates a bias because it conjures up an image that is nothing like the person - while their picture "undoes" that.

Not saying I necessarily believe that happens, but I really appreciate the logic of your point/question.
My best guess is that Facebook/Google is making money off the content (via ads), where a decentralized system wouldn't.

> The problem with the lightning connector is that the springs are inside the device, while the springs are located in the cable in case of USB-C.

Except that in practice I've never seen a lightning device that stops holding cables, and I've seen a lot of broken USB-C cables and ports. Don't forget also that USB-C ports have a fragile tongue inside.
Why risk it, I suppose.

I think it does matter - objectively. It doesn't matter how many consumers you have on your platform, if you don't have content creators you're on life support.

Right now, Apple is still middle of the road - The money in their apps ecosystem is holding a lot of developers there, but I think they're royally fucked in every legal district except the US with regards to the current software distribution model. And honestly - that's simply because anti-trust/monopoly regulation in the US is an unfathomable joke at the moment (it helps that we house most of the tech monopolies, so from a nationalistic perspective, I understand that the status quo is making a lot of people a lot of money).

So does it matter this quarter? Eh - almost certainly not. Will it matter in 10 years? Almost certainly yes.

That said, who knows - Apple is damn good at marketing still, and it's possible they can leverage the M1 machines into a dominant position.

---

As for this year - We're seeing consumer spending in electronics up across the board, mostly thanks to incentives from covid (cash infusions, more people using devices for school/work, more people feel stuck at home and consume digital services). And Apple has a good supply chain in place to whether the current chip shortages, pushing consumers to buy products from Apple simply because they're available. Hell, Lenovo revenue is also up 50% in the last year, and Samsung is up nearly 20% this last quarter. Selling digital devices is a good spot to be in during a lockdown of physical spaces.

Again, maybe Apple will be able to ride the wave with the M1 devices, but I think extrapolating out from sales during Covid isn't all that meaningful.

Why, exactly?

I mean, I totally get why we wouldn't want to burn oil. We breath that air and it increases CO2. But why exactly shouldn't we extract it? After all, you can do a lot of useful things with it. Like, for example, food packaging :) Also half the device you're reading this on, most likely.
Looking at that Snopes article you linked, how can you possibly describe such a thing as simple? there isn't a single cost in the US to compare against a single cost in Denmark. It's impossible to give a absolute true/false answer since everything from currency conversion, relative costs of living, differences in prices between regions and individual locations, etc all needs to be taken into account to give a true comparison. They try to provide context in a bunch of different ways to see if, in general, that claim appears to be true. Do you disagree with the conclusion?

What do you want them to do? Figure out the exact cost of a Big Mac at every location in the US and every Location in Denmark and average them? Ignoring the fact that this would be essentially impossible to do, what do you expect that number to actually tell you?

Most things in life are not absolutely true/false. To me, expecting things to be signals a lack of intelligence and not being grounded in reality.
Unavailable for Legal Reasons
It's not that it isn't feasible, it's that it's less profitable. It might even be unprofitable. If Facebook can't be profitable without facilitating slave trading, perhaps it should be allowed to go out of business. Any other business has liability for crime occurring on their premises, I don't see why tech giants should be exempt from that expectation.
Finally the problem which PHP solved more than two decades ago has been solved again. How do we include server-side code in client-side code?

Do we build the client-side on the sever, and render? Why no, that would be PHP.

Let's build the client-side in the browser, and rig a series of complex code-generating primitives disguised by the beauty of a language, to AJAX our way to a presumably good-enough solution.

I think its a serious question whether apps built with this are more performant, easier to use, (and so on) than the equivalent PHP-approach.
Is there a picture of those containers in question?

And yet here we are.

Nope. EPIC knowingly and intentionally violated the contract. End of story. It's up to the "good will" of Apple to let them back in at this point.
Because China is not a democracy and probably it's size and culture all but prevents effective democratic transition (they are wise to not start it, do it and what happened in Russia will look like a joke), it's bound to get stuck rather quickly. Are there any rich non-democratic countries, apart from petrostates, out there anyway? They will have to either reform (and go bust), or resort to becoming a hermit state, before they reach East European level.

And due to the size of their debt, getting stuck means going bust - in their case, just quitting capitalism, calling it a mistake and returning to the good old days.

Or rather look at ways to why food is traveling more would should be counter intuative, and is likely caused by increased regulations and taxation in local area's that make food production unprofitable locally so it has to move further and further to make it work economically

But yes more government regulations, more labeling, and shaming poor people into buying more expensive food is the better path ...

Once again government creates a problem, then people look to government to solve the very problem it created which creates even more problems

You're being downvoted, but what you say is objectively and demonstrably true. Unfortunately, the people it doesn't directly effect rarely hear about it from their news sources, so they rarely believe it to be true. Even more unfortunate is that it may indirectly effect them one day, because first they came for the conservatives...

This does not seem like much of a risk. Japan remains wealthy, innovative, and peaceful. If China has these attributes in the future, but is "mired" in debt and slow growth, while the most dynamic catch up growth and attendant industry focus bazaars have moved elsewhere, that's a big win for China and the world.
As a developer, I can understand wanting to have a separate IAP, but this should add another level. If I create something for sale within Fortnite, I don't want to share that profit with Epic. I want to use my own IAP. If Apple has to provide alternative IAP for creators/developers on their platform, the developers should also have to provide alternative IAP for creators within their platform/app.
yeah, reasonable commmission seems like 2-4 percent here. I don't think consumers should have to pay more for it.

And most important, apps should have no restrictions whatsover to have payments inside their own app ecosystem!
> I am curious how this works in the North during winter

We have a BMW i3 94Ah model. When it's not cold we get about 230km range.

When it's fairly cold, -10C or below, that drops significantly. Not helped by my SO's requirement to not feel cold. Reported range is about 160km at worst (cold batteries).

Still, we live in the city and it's been just fine for us. We just leave it connected in the garage over night and set the planned departure time in the morning. That way it's ready with heated batteries, which helps a lot.

It hasn't bothered us so far. We knew the limitations going in, so we just plan a bit. Every now and then we get an extra 10-20 minute charging stop on our way back, meh.

Being able to fill the tank at home, so to speak, is great though. So is the lack of engine noise when driving slow or in traffic. It quickly became clear that our next vehicle would definitely be another EV.

> It's accepted that the top speed of the SR-71 was likely around Mach 3.5. The Mach 3 records were just for show, and pilots have said that even at Mach 3 when they pushed the throttle forward, it just went.

FWIW the official record is Mach 3.3, Air & Space/Smithsonian reported that it'd been clocked at 3.4 by USAF, and Brian Schul claimed to have exceeded 3.5 during evasive manoeuvres. Mach 3 was never claimed to be anywhere its limits. Hell, the design / cruise speed was 3.2.

What about it? It's the same kind of anticompetitive practice. Except that Apple devices are used by billions every day across whole software market and consoles are entertainment devices used with much narrower market impact. Punishing them is less urgent.

Moving to USB-C doesn't mean anything from licensing or certification fees. USB-C offers ways of cable authentication, so nothing needs to change there. There is nothing that USB-IF restricts that would get in the way of certification or licensing.

Open adversarial system like this is hard to balance. If you give private people the privileged access required to effectively investigate, it also gives them a lot of leverage be a harassing nuisance. "Bounty hunter" is not a positive epithet for a reason.

If you give the targets the power to shield themselves from that nuisance, it becomes too easy for them to impede rightful investigation.
Why Hospital Playlist Season 3 Won’t Be Returning for Netflix?
We did that, it was called PHP, and it turns out DSL are pretty limited outside of their sweat spot. Also they don't evolve as fast as libs and framework.

Case in point: PHP worked well, but framework like Rails and Django became very attractive because their offered more, and used languages that could be good outside of their niche.

And what did the PHP community to stay relevant ? They developed great frameworks, and improved the non web language capabilities.

Turns out the web moves fast, and coding a web app is more than web programming anyway.

Decentralized/federated sharing doesn't eliminate censorship, it democratizes it. This relates to the censorship / moderation distinction.

When it is your community making the choices about what is considered acceptable, that sort of community moderation is essential to a well functioning online community. When an external entity is imposing standards on your community, that is considered censorship.

The line between these two can be super fuzzy and arbitrary, but that doesn't mean that this distinction doesn't have real value to those who make that distinction.

The impetus towards federation is because people want their communities to be able to set their own standards rather than having to abide by whatever decisions Facebook/Apple/Google/Twitter et al make.

Edit: For example, HN is has some significant moderation. I believe the vast majority of the HN community think that this moderation is not only beneficial but crucial to the community. If the HN moderators lost the respect/buy-in/consent of their community then this would start to be viewed as censorship.

I was mostly talking about wealthy, developed countries like the US.

I can’t help but notice that you’re moving the goalposts considerably, however. If you define “working class” as everyone who needs to work to earn an income, to the degree of explicitly denying the existence of a “middle class” at all, you’re not just talking about impoverished fruit pickers and waiters; you’re talking about people like software engineers who actually do own stock and could retire early if they wanted to.

2021 Accelerate State of DevOps report addresses burnout, team performance
My argument for keeping DST is that I'm not a morning person. I'd rather ditch Standard Time to get the latest sunsets possible.
This lifecycle also has the natural benefit of letting the earlier, more product essential patches stew and iterate for a bit before finally maturing and being pushed upstream. Nobody in the process wants to revisit a big patch a couple months after finally getting something upstreamed to find that 70% of it has been replaced by something better or different, and now the upstreaming of that is a big pain and causing kernel churn. Letting big stuff mature in a large extra-kernel ecosystem (such as android) is good for everyone (as long as it actually does make it into the kernel eventually if it's good).

https://9to5mac.com/2020/08/21/epic-games-asked-for-special-...

I really don't understand how people still think it is Sweeny's ideology playing here, when he literally emailed Apple for an exception for Epic alone.
I think even in terms of industry-wide collusion, the push of an MLR cap would be to decrease (money spent on) paperwork.

With R = revenue, P = profit, A = administrative expenses, and M = medical expenses, we have:

R = P + A + M

which we can rearrange a little bit to get

P = R - M - A

From the point of view of an individual company, clearly increasing our own expenses means less profit:

P₂ = R - M - (A + δ) = P - δ

But, as you say, if we force everyone to do likewise the situation is better because we can raise prices to raise revenue:

P₃ = (R + δ) - M - (A + δ) = P

This holds whether or not we have an MLR, but in either case assumes that demand is sufficiently inelastic that we can raise prices enough to make δ more revenue (it won't be a matter of simply raising prices by δ/(number of customers) because some customers may chose to purchase less insurance), and at best it puts is right back where we started.

Does the MLR cap have an impact?

MLR = M / R
MLR₃ = M / (R + δ)
MLR₃ < MLR

By raising our revenues to compensate for the additional expense, we find ourselves with a lower MLR. If we are not near the cap this has no effect; focusing on the other case we are forced to do something to raise the MLR. Where does that come from? Recall our present situation:

P = (R + δ) - M - (A + δ)

We can lower P or A, but our whole question here is whether we can raise P by raising (everyone's) A so doing the former defeats our purpose and the later contradicts our assumption. We are stuck raising M and further raising R (if market conditions allow it). In a sufficiently inelastic market this is possible, but I really don't see the case where we've forced some extra slop that allows us to raise profit.

Of course if I believe that my company is better able to handle the new paperwork than my competitors, that could help - but if the whole industry believes that's the case then most of them are wrong, and in any event I believe this incentive is weakened not strengthened by the MLR cap.

If paperwork keeps new entrants out of the market, that is something current participants can probably agree on, but that's true in any case and I don't see how the MLR cap makes it stronger.

I don't think this analysis changes if we pull executive compensation out of "administrative expenses" and treat it as something we're maximizing in addition to (or instead of) profit.
