Long term, the aging population means that the US needs immigration to keep things going.

The politics are nuts, keeping people out who would do the jobs and not providing a path to citizenship. And they make it hard for people who come to study to stay.

The aging population is the same all over the world, and there will be competition for young, talented people. These policies will kill US competitiveness in the next 10-20 years.

It’s rather tiresome for people to alternate between general and specific in order to be argumentative as opposed to staying on topic and contributing to the issue at hand.

No, the poster isn’t implying that all businesses should be capping their fees. That’s absurd. However, Apple is not all businesses and regulation is structured in a way that has a number of conditions. I for one am glad that the department of insurance makes my car insurance affordable and that when I purchase water it’s not from a private equity firm.
Oh, on the contrary it's very much about profits. Just not the next-quarter-profits MBAs ponder about. Hitting education in such a way circles back a couple of generations down the line and results in lower economic output. Among other scarier things.
For payment solutions, yes. You don't see VISA charging 30% on top of each transaction.
What about fpga which issues a (fake) ps2 keypressed signal and synchronous trigger (led in this case) for the camera?
The upper management only gives a blink when it becomes more known by the public. They don't want to hear (just not to be in the responsibility zone) and when it's widely known they would go whitewashing or PR stunts.

Why they had to invent "to be the best employer of the world" as a leadership principle?

The more people should stand up and make the stupid policies known, that's the only way this can stop. Otherwise this policies will be the norm for many companies since "it can work"
You make no sense. No one is arguing Apple should stop offering this service to developers.

However, Apple shouldn't be allowed to monopolize the market for mobile apps (or "oligopolize" it together with Google, if you want to be extremely pedantic). There should be other options for these types of services.

If Apple offers the best case for your business: Great! Keep using Apple. If someone else's business doesn't need availability in 175 countries (say, they are a taxi app operating in one city), perhaps they should be able to choose some other payment processor who won't demand 30% of every in-app purchase for offering them the exact same service as Stripe.
That’s not really true. Consumers have a fixed willingness to pay and professional app publishers are good at discovering that number, so there really isn’t much passing costs onto the consumer.
It doesn't matter if it's a bug in the program or not.

I'm glad that C++ is starting to become a useable language, too. But 25 years is enough. Asking them to wait another 12 years is a bit unreasonable.
Because it enables/sells the rest of their ecosystem and right now they are in a position where they are just rent seeking on their market position.
This will be gone in days if anyone uses it, it's clearly against the terms.

That’s literally what they said

I was talking about MR and CT. Applies to PET, too.

Image processing saves lives.
That was my thought - either this isn't a crash course in "modern" hardware, or hardware hasn't progressed much in the last 20 years.
It is not feasible for consumers to be informed at that level about all of the goods they consume and for most of us there I doubt there is a practical way to be informed about these sorts of things for most products even if we were to try. Furthermore, even if we were informed for a particular product there may be no better behaved alternatives in the marketplace for something we consider to be a necessity.
In my experience this isn’t idiomatic Go and would definitely turn heads in a code review. But in such a small function, it’s fine to just not worry about the lifetime of your variables (and in bigger functions you can often decompose into smaller functions).
I don't know why the author seems to think that this analogy would be presented without further argument. It would be more like “Worrying about the rise of AGI is silly because AGI isn’t going to happen for a long time, and any effort put into solving it is wasted. Are you also worried about traffic on Mars?”

Maybe they are just someone that was really bad at the "X is to Y as A is to B" type SAT questions
I don't think the person you're replying to is saying anything else, but consumers could, if they decided in mass, do literally everything the government can do around pricing in externalities. Pricing in externalities isn't just forcing companies to pay for the price of their externalities, it's also forcing consumers. And honestly consumers do need forced. We aren't solving this through personal responsibility. But it's also ridiculous to say something like just 100 companies responsible for 71% of global emissions when those companies are just fossil fuel extractors. I'm responsible for burning gas, not the company that just happened to pull it out of the ground.

As mentioned above, as part of the insurance company settling claims they often get ownership rights to the now damaged/destroyed/lost goods. That way they can recover some of their loss, and can quite explicitly stop (from a legal perspective) certain types of insurance fraud. Stuff like ‘losing’ jewelry and then conveniently finding it again later becomes theft AND insurance fraud, for instance.

So they became the new owner, AND had actually kept the paperwork.
In my opinion having to be explicit about what imports are used where makes the code more readable. There's never any "mystery" methods suddenly being called in the middle of a complex function (sometimes without a namespace so you're not even sure which library it's from), and I suppose it makes stuff like tree-shaking easier as well.

That seems to be only relevant for functions / workers at the edge due to resource limitations. For traditional functions (I'm using AWS Lambda) Go is perfectly suited.
I played the demo and while I find setting up automation engaging, the now-familiar exploitation leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

For those of you who know Factorio being the demo, can trees be replanted? Can the engineer learn the local language, make amends, and adopt their culture? Is the ecosystem, the original factory-must-grow, modeled in depth? That’s approaching the game I’d like to play. I’m enjoying Valheim, which has light Factorio elements, and it could be far better if there were environmental consequences to clear-cutting, taking all the berries, killing all the boars, mining, and so on. If reciprocity for long-term health were part of the game (with short-term exploitation still an option), that’d be wonderful.

I’ll eventually stop playing games and commit more time to improving the biodiversity of the land I’m on, and such a game might help inspire others, too, as these games are enjoyable low-stakes abstraction-layers for those with the luxury of time.
This is the very reason why I always check if a subscription can be purchased outside of the app store before even considering buying it there. Its usually more expensive as an in app purchase.
> Whereas, in reality, it's only a question of what a buyer will pay and what a seller will accept.

Which is why you don't have to let a monopoly/oligopoly set the price at will, they need to be regulated. Smartphones are becoming essential tools in many people's lives, and there are only 2 main providers; they need to be regulated. You can argue at the exact regulation but this Apple move has proved beyond doubt that we (as a society) need to impose tough regulations on them; because by themselves, they're not going to be reasonable, they're looking to extract maximum feasible rent.
It assumes that you have perfect measurement. Anyone who knows corporate politics, middle management machiavellianism, and inability to properly instrument development, requirements, scheduling knows this is a fantasy.

That means people will devote SUBSTANTIAL amounts of their day-to-day labor in jockeying and positioning.

People will be hired (wasted money and time) explicitly to be fired/PIP'd.

The jockeying will result in disruption of team development.

People will sabotage their coworkers.

Trust disappears.

Paranoia grows.

Blame deflected.

Difficult problems won't be tackled because why risk it.

Bandaids rather than solutions will result.

YOUR BEST PEOPLE WILL LEAVE. Let me emphasize this. You are selecting for people that aren't good, because good people will have OPTIONS and THEY WILL LEAVE.

What are you left with? A management hierarchy of sociopaths. A subpar set of employees that furthermore will not cooperate in good faith (in the best case) or actively engage in institutional sociopathic behavior. You will have a cesspool, and cesspools repulse good people.

And the signal is right in front of people that apply: the hiring process is abusive hazing with the "raise the bar" bullshit.

Staff turnover means abandoned systems. Abandoned systems will be avoided as bad career risk, or reimplemented before the org has gotten good ROI from them.

THAT IS NOT GOOD MANAGEMENT.

Remember: AWS had a CRAP Christmas. Crap. This is starting to boil up.
> This single comment contains many of the contrarian view against HN. It is nice we have these real world stories on HN to balance the ideological fight against ads, where All Ads are evil.

I still don't understand your point. The only reason Facebook's ability to properly attribute went down drastically is specifically because of the iOS privacy changes that require user opt in to track across different sites.

Fine, I don't doubt there were other HN commenters who were arguing different meanings of "tracking", but that's all a moot point. In this instance, we know exactly why Facebook's ad effectiveness went down - it went down because they could no longer track all your interactions across the majority of the web. Tough shit.
As a former technical writer, I suggest that the "math is prose" rule
is valid only under the assumption of mathematically minded
readers. To normal people, an equation or other mathematical
expression might as well be one of those black blocks in a redacted
government document. How are they supposed to know that a set
membership symbol or a logical implication arrow should be read as a
verb? It's not much extra effort to treat expressions as nouns by
writing "we conclude that p -> q holds whenever x and y are the same"
instead of "we conclude p -> q iff x = y", and doing so may make the
difference for some readers between missing a few details and feeling
completely excluded.

They're not. Apple is essentially acting like a government, and they're certainly way more powerful than the Dutch government:

- They have an income tax -- 30% (wait until they come up with a capital gains tax, and a property and inheritance tax as well)

- Use monopoly of "force" by removing us if we "evade taxes"

- Have their legislation branch to come up with their own set of "laws" - they call it "terms", but can't be "terms" if we have to swallow it without coming to terms with it

- Their judiciary branch judge our actions with no recourse

- Have their executive branch to put into practice what their judicial branch decides (usually in an automated fashion)
That makes more sense, thanks. But philosophers of mind, neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, and all could just as well pursue other lines of inquiry without protesting too much that there's no hard problem.
As a user, a huge part of their value proposition is that they act as a private regulator, to good effect.

It's the libertarian dream of paying companies to be your private regulatory enforcement agency (see Friedman and others).

Then they tax companies for access to their little haven of sanity.

I'd prefer the government just regulate out all the plainly-bad behavior that goes on in the software industry, but lacking that... I prefer to retain this option.

I wish their cut were lower but that they levy a "tax" makes a certain amount of sense, given the circumstances.

> Whereas, in reality, it's only a question of what a buyer will pay and what a seller will accept.

I didn't say that's not what determines a price.

> When you look at an airline that's about to fly a plane with twenty empty seats, do you say "sheesh, it's totally unreasonable that seat is selling for anything more than zero, it costs the airline nothing to have someone sit in it, the greed is mind-blowing"?

No. Plane tickets are quite cheap regardless when you consider the amount of force involved in lifting that much weight into the air across the planet. Even when it's more expensive, I'm saving a ton of time compared to if I drove my car across country and back, making even pricier tickets worth it. In fact, the way I look at it, a plane with a bunch of empty seats is a good thing because that allows people to make last-minute travel plans. If one had to reserve a plane ticket months in advance, that'd be pretty lousy.

So perhaps that was just a bad example.

Here's the flaw in your oversimplifying of the argument. The price being as simple as what the buyer is willing to pay for is only adequate when you ignore the seller's level of monopolism and the market incentives that drive the buyer to taking it in the rear. Apple not only dominates a massive percentage of the mobile phone market, but they along with Google have created systems where your digital service is unlikely to be successful unless you play their game... because they are oh so concerned about the safety of the end user. And app that's not found in the App Store is never going to reach widespread use because even Android users don't really want to use apps their friends who have iPhones can't interact with them on. Even if you host binaries on your own site, good luck having iOS users figure out how to side-load the app or even have the courage to do so.

Would you be fine if your bank just ripped off 1/3 of your income? After all, what are you gonna do? Use cash for everything and be closed off from the modern economy? Sure, you can do that. But does that mean that this hypothetical banking system isn't ripping you off regardless of if you choose to pay it? It's a large amount of value that the buyer earned that the seller arguably didn't earn. In the case of Apple, they effectively get a 30% share in every company that hosts an app in the App Store because at any moment Apple can just say "nah" and delete the app.

But sure... let's have a society where everything's a free-for-all and we don't regulate scams and ripoffs because the buyer was willing to pay for it.

EDIT: I now realized what I said was on the snarky side... I changed it but left some of it and hope you're not personally offended or anything.

> Though, I think electronic payments can be a lot safer if we had a culture of push payments ("I send $123 to Amazon to purchase widgets") instead of pull payments ("here's my credit card number, have fun").

Only recently I've learned that in the USA people don't pay through bank transfers.

In Europe it's main mode of payment to give you bank account number and amount and expecting you'll make the transfer. Either directly by interacting with your bank or through payment processor which has integrations with various banks and will prepare the transfer for you and redirect you to your bank's authorization gateway.
That presents the word "Fiat" in mixed case, offering no clues why some might write it as "FIAT" when they've proven to otherwise be capable of using lowercase characters.
It serves the consumers of course. Because the first thing it does is absolve all of them of any personal responsibility whatsoever.

I think that the Xbox should be an open platform. Microsoft has built in enough sandboxing and security that I’d hope they could handle arbitrary downloads while offering their store + online services for games that use their store (provide actual value for their cut).

It’s not like they make money off of the hardware, and their new push is in Gamepass subscriptions which people will still want.

There will of course be people who pirate, just like they do on the switch, but piracy is likely to be so small that it won’t affect Microsoft’s profits.
If you're making $40k in a dense urban area you're probably sharing rent with someone. It's still tight but that gives you an extra $100-$200/wk in disposable income (or for necessities, as the case may be.)
This.

Shipwrecks are governed by maritime salvage law, an international set of legal conventions governing the recovery of vessels and properties aboard them.

In a nutshell, the putative owner of the vessel or the properties recovered from it has two years from the end of salvage operations to lay claim to the vessel/goods recovered. If the salvage was not performed under contract, then they must pay fair value for the salvage services, but the sources I found are all over the board on what "fair value" is in that context.
> Russia will be on the first line of climate change, they have quite few incentives to make the right call.

Russia has incentives, but the Russian government does not. Its fortunes are entirely tied to the petro-ruble.

And when it comes to choosing between what's good for Russia, and what's good for whomever is governing Russia, Russians will choose the latter eight times out of ten.
