This is the exact sort of question that Wittgenstein addresses and created a terrifying argument to press a wedge into. In the Investigations he formulates the Rule Following Argument which in many aspects mirrors the underdetermination argument for computational anti-realism; any physical state embodies any computational function under some arbitrary description (also known as pancomputationalism or computational trivialism). Wittgenstein intended to show-- and I think succeeded-- that meanings are underdetermined logically, and thus non-rational (not irrational) forces determine how one means something. Thus, causal structures of social bodies that holistically determine meanings.

This argument was initially somewhat ignored until revived by the great Saul Kripke in his book Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language. I take this to be one of the great epistemological problems, joining the ranks of similar challenges like Descartes' demon. Like Descartes, Wittgenstein offered a solution, albeit a much less religious one than Descartes.
Which is all of the packaging that can seal airtight things.
Why does that matter? What does "meaningful ways" even mean? And "meaningful ways" according to who, the user or Apple?
I honestly can't believe this discussion is happening again.

It feels like I've read identical arguments every time (though I now believe that DST feelings are primarily determined by latitude rather than anything else).
An old Japanese programmer told me that when he started out, they attempted to translate everything into Japanese. My memory is fuzzy (this conversation was 8 years ago) so take this as more of an example then exactly what he said. For example, "string" was translated by its rope-like meaning, you used that kanji to write it in comments/docs, and when talking to other programmers you'd use the Japanese word. Anyway they gave up on that for the most part.

I'm well aware of which connector it is, I've still got cables lying around. There are also multiple sources that will tell you that 30-pin came out in 2003, and then Lighting in 2012.
> “It turns out that you can detect compounds that are diagnostic of exercise [show you have done some]; you can see when an over-the-counter medication comes into the system and clears out; you can see molecules that correlate with how well you slept, how much fat you had in your diet, what your calorie intake was.”

I know the intentions are probably good, but imagine how the tech industry will abuse that much data. This shows the risks of failing to regulate big tech. We’ll miss out on genuinely useful data because a handful of people needed to get super rich by disseminating our personal, private info.
Typical with these gas car future bans. The politicians set a date at which they assume EV's will be technically and economically superior and have already won in the market. Then they will credit their ban for the transition, even though they have done nothing. If they are wrong and gas cars are still being sold near the deadline, they will quietly extend it, because they are never going to actually force a sizeable population to give up their cars and lose an election.
Does this only mean you can't buy prepackaged tomatoes, or you can't even use one of the little plastic bags that come off a roll that you put tomatoes from the display into?
What version of USB-C? There are several and they are confusing as hell!
> Yes, but this also means it's going to be huge improvement over "regular" meat - they don't have to reinvent whole animals, just the parts that matter.

Meanwhile breeding will be working toward the same end from the other direction: minimizing unnecessary animal components. We have chickens that are impaired by the weight of their own overgrown breasts, and very possibly there are already other organs that are withering away under breeding pressure.

Both directions of advancement are disturbing. I think the breeding program, if it reaches this optimal efficiency conclusion, is probably more disturbing. But also much easier.

Italian supermarkets, at least all those i saw during my vacation there this summer, had bio-degradable bags for almost everything. Those that weren't you had to pay for. Not sure why that isn't the case everywhere. Of course, bringing your own non-plastic bag would be better.
Yeah I don't know where you're getting this info. The most an Apple laptop pulls right now is 100w because the intel chip pulls a ton of power. 240w in lab testing now. And with Apple chips they are going to sip power. Unless Apple puts a 6900XT into a laptop they won't be hitting that charging limit.

> The same might be true of Fortnite

It would seem that Fortnite's demographic is preteen kids. Are they playing Fortnite on their parent's device or one they own? If it's the later then Apple could be fostering a lifelong mistrust or dislike for their platform. If it's the former then Parents might just install another App for them and that's the end of Fortnite.

I guess it comes down to how many people are willing to jump ship for Fortnite. I have a feeling Apple probably already knows the answer since Fortnite hasn't been in the App store for some time.
What MS did to Borland was exactly what they did with Netscape 10 years later: use their dominance of the OS to displace competitors in other areas. The only difference is that computing was a much smaller part of the economy at the time. Things changed with Netscape and other multi-billion dollar web companies, so the government decided to act.

I imagine the reason they make so much from the store is that the gas station is drawing people in? It's expensive to build and maintain the gas station itself, they wouldn't do it unless it was an important contributor to the business model.
A single, monopolistic market would also be "consumer friendly", given those parameters. Obviously we don't want that, do we?

Getting multiple manufacturers to agree on anything is always going to be a challenge and produce some compromises. But it's still better for the market as a whole, which in turn is better for consumers. I look forward to the chance of buying a single, universal charger with great features that will last me decades, from a vendor that may or may not be a phone-manufacturer. Apple would gladly do their worse to stop me from doing that, if they could.
He said specifically that eating fish is not vegetarian, this is 100% an accurate statement, you can choose to define the word "meat" however you want but the textbook definition of vegetarianism does not include fish.
Isn't this common knowledge? nVME disks run pretty hot under load. A heatsink gives more thermal mass and better cooling, so the disk can sustain its high speeds for longer time. Though I doubt a heatsink [significantly] increases peak performance.
Yes, but when EV's win in the market, boy will they take credit.

"jokes" like that are counter-productive to a good discussion. HN is not a place for such comments.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
OP said "Most Android devices". You then singled out a specific subset of phones that are only a small portion of the market to claim that OP's comment is "weird".

OP's comment is accurate because Pixels are not "most Android phones". You also don't know whether or not OP already owns a Pixel, so I'd say it's "weird" to tell them not to complain without knowing whether or not they have already voted with their wallet.
I have noticed that Wawa (mid-atlantic convenience store often paired with gas station) is starting to set up a supercharger network, sometimes even when there is no gas station already existing.

Anecdotally, I agree with your assessment that EVs will cause more purchases.
Hacker news is pretty good. I wish it wasn't this way but it seems like a lot of communities are switching to slack and discord. Google for a topic you're interested in + discord or slack and there is a good chance you'll find a flourishing community anyone can join tucked away from the rest of the internet.

This is also a great trick for figuring out really obscure problems by the way. Error message returning no results when you Google it? Slack and discord aren't crawled by search engines (sadly). Join the relevant channel and search there. Very often you'll get the result you were looking for.
The vast majority of people who seem to be finding this strange (and seem to have a misconception that laws don't and cannot adapt to technological progress once passed) appear to be American or (at the very least) have less day to day exposure to EU legislation and the regulatory landscape.

I get the impression there's a rather striking cultural difference in terms of views on regulation and the overall purpose of government's activities.

I personally welcome this proposal - like many others (GDPR, ePrivacy, data roaming) that have come before it it prioritises individuals over the wants of corporations.
Proper nouns are usually 2-3 letters long, as in 白紙, 鶏白湯, 赤子, etc. Kun-yomi(Chinese borrowed) single letter nouns e.g. 碁, 本, 金 are rare so two-letter matches sort of take priority by heuristics, most common of which is 吐く…

The spoken language encodes hints in tones so homophones aren’t necessarily “homo” phones - Haku used as verb and as a name, or kuma as in bears and as in black spots under eyes, are pronounced slightly differently. If you listen really closely you might notice “ha” in Hali’s name is pronounced slightly stronger.
"Furthermore, we demonstrate that it is possible for black holes in six (and higher) dimensions to be produced at energy scales that will be accessible in the near future" ;)

Operating a gas station is expensive, so many will ditch the "gas" part.

Often the primary draw of gas stations is the gas, not the store, for which there are better alternatives. And since operating an EV-Charger is pretty easy & cheap compared to gas, there will be many stores adding EV-Chargers in the parking lot.

Here in germany, there are already a few supermarket chains (primarily ALDI) that have EV-Chargers on their parking lots.
We're talking with no adapters here, as in you have a single plain usb-c charger for all your phones.
Funny you should say that, as Christopher Hitchens in his deathbed, converted to Catholicism himself.
No, the argument isn't "Apple is like a government since Apple is retaliating". The argument is "Apple is like a government and therefore shouldn't be allowed to retaliate".

And no, saying "They are retaliating and therefore not a government" is not a good defence to the argument "Apple is like a government and therefore shouldn't be allowed to retaliate".
The issue is that there won't be an international political, business and academic boycott of the Arab Gulf countries before we transition away from oil. Moving away from oil will also severely affect the income in these countries, effectively saving millions of young women from slavery.

Side note, this article shows how easy and perversely widespread this barbarity is, however these women also endure physical beatings, emotional abuse and sexual exploitation (rape).
You are right: I should have said sold, not 'bought and sold'. Thanks.
Some do, some don't. Not all laws are ethical, and not all ethics are lawful.

I think you know that though.
> …I think they're losing the public perception game pretty badly.

Outside of HN and other niche media properties this is an extremely obscure battle.

> …now the products just aren't that good, and it shows.

Does it though? Apple recently reported an almost-50% YoY increase in iPhone sales. The iPad had its best June quarter in nearly a decade. The Mac set a new June quarter revenue record. The last four quarters have been the Mac's best four quarters ever. Subjectively, Apple products have never been better.
I've seen this commented before, and it must be a regional thing, as I've never encountered this in the northeast.
Italian sockets can be easily vandalised into a type C socket in a pinch. I know, I've done it once in a fit of anger.
If they are economically superior here is thanks to politicians though.

Wait, does that actually mean something? I have seen it many times and assumed it was just an innocuous SpongeBob reference.
There are different kind of social medias, like there are 50 shades of gray. Any media that have network effects and a positive feedback loop is a social media. I'd say HN is one of the healthier social medias.
Meh. In the grand scheme of things, Apple doesn't even make the top ten list of shady businesses this modern lifestyle forces me to engage with. :/
This is not usually considered to be "Franco-British" because it involved the Normans, not France.

But obviously, with Agincourt, the 100-year War and Joan of Arc, the American War of Independence, the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, etc. examples of historically 'typical' relations between France and England are plenty...
Knowing that gas cars have a limited future and can foresee running costs rising sharply while resale value plummets incentivizes people to buy electric already.
None of that is a problem is you only use the google cloud as a backup and not as a the place to work on/with the data directly. It simply isn't save to use for anything other than as an additional backup.
You already have that: JavaScript.

Otherwise, what you are describing isn't going to be "Just Go" or "Just the language"... you'll have again a ton of libraries/frameworks on top of it... the complexity is going to be there... one way or another.
Do that for work as well.
Leaks Renew Concern over Facebook's Fact-Checking Sway
Shannon was a mathematician, famous for his work on information theory. Wikipedia says he presented a paper on the subject of programming a computer to play chess. In 1949. It doesn't mention any other programming accomplishments. And as far as I know, there were no programming languages at that time.

And if my "problem" is not having heard of Buterin and Dean, I reckon myself a fortunate fellow - I can think of worse problems.
This is a serious issue but it still reminds me of Ricky Gervais' masterpiece of a joke about Apple's TV drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing.
Facebook makes editorial decisions on your content--they can choose to put it in front of 100k people or 20 people, all driven exclusively by revenue potential.

Word doesn't decided whether or not what you're typing should make it to the document based on how it impacts their revenue. Adobe doesn't render Mein Kampf instead of your doc based on revenue potential.

So basically: The Chinese are popping their bubbles on purpose. I wonder if their timing is correct (or there would have been more growth in just letting things run for another few years). And I wonder if we in a Western democracy would ever be able to the same (i.e. pop a residential real estate bubble on purpose).
It may be that some consumer products are just too stupid to survive.
They will turn into vending machines with a parking lot and bathroom.
I used to work for a gas station chain's corporate office in the mid '10s. In general the business was 50/50 gas and food sales, with gas having higher volumes and food having higher margins. The business strategy was to expand food sales and b2b gas and diesel sales (i.e. fuel for company fleets). There was also some niche targets like powersports (e.g. ethanol free fuel for classic vehicles and older recreational powersports equipment).
I renewed five contracts this year, neither of them had the same amount of data for roaming as they did for local. Calls and SMS, they did (unlimited, basically). This seems to be the norm for Orange here. I would assume the same goes for Vodafone since they generally seemed to always offer less for more.

That being said, it's absolutely lovely to be able to travel for business or holiday and to be able to find your way around, purchase things and get access to public transportation information abroad. Roaming costs before that always tended to be so eye-watering that I never really knew anyone who thought they were worth putting up with. I really dislike going outside of the European Union because of them, myself, too.
It is less secure. The initramfs is not signed, along with the microcode.
Facebook is the only step that treats the content semantically rather than as a stream of bytes.

Facebook's business relies on moderating content to drive engagement to get ad/user-data money.

Not to mention, slavery is against Facebook's own TOS. So Facebook has taken up this responsibility themselves.
Can you expand on this? With respect to this article, what did the author get wrong?
On the other hand, you might consider that it means that what he wrote 30+ years ago hit the mark so well that it’s still worth paying for a summary of part of it. Less depressing that way.

> The paper also quoted a 2019 internal report from Facebook, suggesting that the social media giant knew about, and had been investigating, the online slave trade before the BBC got in contact.

The article seems to conflict itself on this subject.
>If the goal is to reduce plastic waste... Why not just tax the plastic?

We could both ban plastics (e.g for food) and tax it (for other uses, e.g medical).

Now, how can banning be less effective than taxing? Otherwise, we would have taxed murder instead of outlawing it right?
Legislation is not eternal. When USB-C outlives its usefulness, it can be legislated away in favour of a different standard. Or they could let a standards/industrial body make the binding decision.
Yeah I'll give you that. Norway has excellent policies on EV's. I just hate these symbolic "bans."
Todoist -- being able to email in to projects/lists is a killer feature for me.
I'm not an expert by any means, but my impression is that, while they certainly still have some influence, lobbyists and big companies hold a lot less sway in European politics than in the US. Part of that may be tighter rules around campaign finance, part of it may be cultural.
Sounds like retaliation and is anti-competitive. Hope the EU is watching.

Yeah, Italy is surprisingly good in this regard - even their recycling seems well-organised, although I'm still unsure how/why they mix soft plastics in with bottles, etc. I was under the impression that sort of mixing screwed up the recycling chain.

I know I'm at constant loggerheads with my Italian partner who keeps putting soft plastics in the recyling here in London, even though it's supposed to be filtered out!
Repudiated is a bit strong. In some sense Wittgenstein hated everything he had written. However, Wittgenstein did believe that his friend had shown the system he laid out in Tractatus as unworkable:

https://www3.nd.edu/~jspeaks/courses/2007-8/43904/_HANDOUTS/...

The so-called "late" period his scope was no more bounded than the early Wittgenstein, but he changed his method of analysis from strict conceptual analysis to something more conversational. His study of language is not really interesting for what it contributed to philosophy of language, but because of the implications to the methods of philosophy itself.
My dreams of 'spring back, fall back' seem further away than ever... I mean who doesn't want an extra hour of sleep twice a year?
Why do traffickers create Facebook profiles for their victims?
Unless those transfer data and charge as quickly I dont see that being the case, I mean moreso in the case of actual charging cables. Apple dropped the ball on their magsafe wireless charger by not including a wall plug and charging $40 for something a lot of people couldn’t use. Some of the Amazon reviews are people who think its a counterfeit.
Slack Kills Productivity – Try Vork Beta
They have been converging way too slowly, and wouldn't have converged as close to one standard without an intervention.
I would strongly advise you to think twice about switching to Logic. Apple has consistently dumbed down that product since they bought it, turning it entirely into a loss leader to sell you the Apple ecosystem. Logic was great when it was Emagic's baby, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole now. It is the archetypal example of a product steered by executive strategy instead of user interests.

If you need a low cost vendor neutral DAW, Reaper is the way to go. I'm a semi-professional musician, and well compensated software architecture consultant, so cost is not a factor in my software purchases for music, but when I want a linear-paradigm DAW, it's Reaper. That product is dope and the company is awesome.
Every browser makes money off the web. For example, Firefox makes $400 million (!) per year from making Google the default search provider.
So is twitter,facebook, reddit and you can find it on here if you ask around.

Because it results in a greater inconvenience as opposed to targeting a specific item which will have less political opposition. We need to reduce consumption by x amount, but the political will is only there to reduce by .0001*x

Otherwise, you would have seen far higher taxes on fossil fuels around the world decades ago.
Monetisation. Facebook has a commercial imperative to distribute content regardless of what that content espouses. None of the other companies have any commercial imperative to generate income from you after you purchase access to their services/devices. Sure, they could play a role in preventing crime (and often do, e.g. the way printers print identifiable patterns on printouts to track printer usage). But in the chain you describe, Facebook has a direct financial reward for distributing such content (via displaying ads) and no other means of generating income.
I don't think not having a kid is, itself, controversial. I think that telling others who want children not to have them is the controversial bit.

On the one hand, it is a very effective way to reduce your carbon footprint if you can do it. On the other hand, for many people it conflicts with one of the most basic human desires, which is life-defining for lots of the population.

As an analogy, if you asked people to be celibate you could guarantee that no new babies would come along even if birth-control-methods failed; a huge net positive! Despite that, sex is a basic human experience that many see as integral to their vision of a life, and it'd be controversial to seemingly impose that restriction on others.

tl;dr: no controversy in you doing you, sometimes controversy in you asking others to similarly do you
