And so Apple should just eat the cost of app store servers and the hardware they developed to run the software?

If you don't agree with their fee structure you're welcome to distribute elsewhere.
I work in adtech and hear "We don't want to track people, we just want to know what events led to conversion" all the damn time. (Or conversely, from the sell side, "we don't want to track people, we just want to learn/verify our audience's composition.).

Sorry to break it to you, but that's what tracking is.

You're saying you don't want remarking, but - you want to know something that requires marking. "Remarking" is just persistent marking. What you don't want is "retargeting", which is when the user gets to learn someone is building a profile of them. But that's just whether the "marked" profile is used to also "target" - the profile gets built either way.
Your perspective is valid, but it exists on a continuum. It's clearly possible for the "I have the right to be the next Typhoid Mary" perspective to be carried too far. That's the whole dilemma in a nutshell... how far is too far? I'm not qualified to say, and it looks like you aren't either, given the lack of actionable guidance you're offering.

"Leave people the hell alone" isn't an option, because you live in a populated, civilized nation rather than on a deserted private island. (I will note, however, that they won't shoot you at the border for trying to leave.)

I don't think anyone would take fault with using a SPA for a text editor. What most people are criticizing is using a SPA for a page that serves mostly non-interactive content. And that is the majority of the web, after all.
They're still looking for someone who can implement it!
> The whole performance review thing feels like a proxy for something else I can't quite put my finger on, but feels creepy nonetheless.

Stack ranking is one thing, but you're against performance reviews? How do you know if you're doing well or poorly in your job? Or does it not matter because firing is so difficult?
How would you feel about a, say 100€, fee to "unlock" your PS5 and turn it into a general purpose device that can run ubuntu?

And I think if you put your xbox into development mode you can run your own code on it, like RetroArch although I don't know to what extent that goes.
An interesting quote:

> The wide availability and consumption of kvass, including by children of all ages, together with the lacking indication of ABV for kvass on the labels and in advertisements has been named a possible contributor to chronic alcoholism in the former Soviet Union.
Who decides what the purpose of a degree is? Certainly for the majority of people paying six figures the purpose is to be able to earn a return on that investment from employment. Figuring out a philosophy on life can be done at a much lower cost elsewhere. In fact college life is so unlike non-college life it's unlikely to be very useful for that purpose anyway.
Drew Houston disagrees with you and Avery. Not just the TL;DR but in the critical details.

> Contrary to what the post suggests, HOM does not say not that the job of an executive is to wave some kind of magic culture or "values" wand and rubber-stamp whatever emergent strategy and behavior results from that. CEOs and executives absolutely do (and must) make important decisions of all kinds, break ties, and set general direction.

Notwithstanding that Drew is a billionaire who founded a billion dollar company and Tailscale has yet to crack a large valuation, Avery basically misinterpreted Andy Groves. That misinterpretation, "CEO as a passive referee whose job is to set the culture", is only sensible to people who've never managed a large group of people.
I'm going to keep it real, it's hard to believe people are from Micronesia, even if it's 1 or 2 per island given you only have 18 people from Ohio.

Come to think of it, none of the options are less than 1 point...
I irrationally hate the sound of other people's keyboard for some reason. It's like listening to them chew.
"A general purpose computer is a computer that is designed to be able to carry out many different tasks."

"There's an app for that"

Seems pretty straightforward that they did. Them doing their best to lock down the ecosystem for profit does not make the device non-general-purpose.
I think you have a misunderstanding about sigma.
When describing the measurement of a particular physical constant, the "standard deviation" is something that changes as we get better at making measurements. It basically means "If all our assumptions (e.g. assumptions about how good our equipment is, uncertainties about other physical constants) are correct, then it is unlikely that we would have made the measurements we did if the true value is not within 2 standard deviations of the result we got".
When a more accurate measurement is made, then "1 standard deviation" gets smaller, so we know the value better, but it's always true to say "we know the value to within a few standard deviations (given some assumptions made by experimenters)" . If it turns out the measurement was wrong by several standard deviations, then it's very likely that some assumptions were wrong.

Wake Up And Smell The CAFE [auto standards]
Honestly, what is the appeal of this? The minimum salary requirements are absurdly high. There are nice landscapes and environments available for much cheaper requirements, likely in one's own current country. The incentive for Iceland is pretty clear, they get rich foreigners' money. But the incentive for rich foreigners to temporarily relocate here is not at all clear.

US citizens, for example, can also stay in Iceland as tourists for 90 days, so this sounds like an onerous amount of requirements to jump through to stay for 90 more.
Maybe the state of play has changed, as we scan for this indication in MR, not PET.

Have you a link to something as my understanding is that small lesions are better found with MR?

Or is this a rule that applies to high end research work and hasn’t hit clinical practice yet? Maybe a limitation of the isotopes used clinically?
Cool Edit Pro. Bought by adobe, neutered, and released as Adobe audition. Audacity doesn't come close. I think most people moved to flstudio. I just stopped writing music once my last copy started acting up. I have it on a VM for doing batch processing, but I can't use it in real time anymore.

I also miss the macOS 8/9 version of graphic converter. It had a "send to folder" feature that made sorting huge directories of pictures very easy, and usable in group settings, like on a projector with a group of a half dozen or more.

There's more, but not having access to those two sticks in my craw.
Yes. If not for that, we wouldn't have so many bloody articles about consciousness.
You see, this kind of response is precisely the problem with the Julia community and the performance fallacies they present. What does this post have to do with Python? You claim to be the fastest language, and if someone questions it, you only mention how fast it can be compared to pure looping Python. It's a Machiavellian promotion strategy that has so far worked for Julia, but it isn't going to work any longer.

Silly comparison - natural gas prices are regulated, but furthermore you don’t make money from your natural gas payment inherently.

You only pay Apple store fees if you make money. Your comparison is dumb. Charge more to your users and be done with it a all of your Apple competitors are bound by the same rule.

I was hoping for a serious conversation.
How big is the smell of a baking pie? The concentration of pie molecules in the air is not a binary yes/no function of position, but at the same time the volume is definitely smaller than the county, and larger than the kitchen. Fuzzy-edged objects have some sense of size but there is some freedom in where to define their edge.

For the proton, the "size" is defined as a length-valued parameter in the function that expresses the charge distribution through space. The parameter is objective - but its association with the word "size" is imprecise. It is necessarily imprecise, not because of anything quantum or even unfamiliar, but because there's not another English word for the scale of objects without hard edges.
You're amazing for sharing this with me, thank you so much.
It's ideological because this whole idea of forcing terms onto Apple to open it's store is basically socializing parts of Apple infrastructure and parts of its workforce. To me this is totally unacceptable. Apple's innovation has advanced the state of the art a great deal. This company literally invented the concepts that we're now seeking to rob it of. Why can't we just be grateful that the free market was able to produce such a marvel, be glad for the nice devices we all carry around, and leave the org and its investors well enough alone?

Also which economic theory am I ignoring? Didn't Apple itself enter the smartphone market by massively disrupting the existing players and forcing the entire industry to play catchup for over a decade? Didn't they do this without any regulatory intervention to weaken the market incumbents at the time? Why can't we expect that the next smartphone-level innovation to personal computing will come without similar intervention on our parts?

Be mindful that the dataset is 1-indexed (i.e. zero votes equal a score of 1), so your script is probably a bit skewed towards non-US.

I never use the bank's memo field, ever. As you have found, it will eventually be mis-used by them, and most likely not in any way that benefits you.

The nature of your financial transactions are none of the bank's business. IMO they only exist to "store and forward" the funds.

Use your own local accounting ledger with a memo for your records.

Vast DOJ Probe Looks at Almost 30 Short-Selling Firms and Allies
I have worked at a subsidiary, and other companies worse than Amazon. Imagine if, instead of annual reviews are required to put 5% at the bottom of a stack rank and then "manage them out", you have quarterly stack ranks, where everyone knows who is in the ranking pool, and with two bad quarters you are out, even if it was just the luck of the draw, because management had to dump on someone.

Stack ranking, plus rank and yank, absolutely destroys collaboration and teamwork. You can cram people into an open plan to "force" people to collaborate, but if you stack rank it will have no effect. You'll still end up with some pretty savage competition, up to and including being unwilling to help coworkers, unwilling to do anything for another team that is in the same stack rank pool, and some serious bragging and brown-nosing to have "visible" accomplishments (even if you have to steal them from your teammates.)

The whole "rank and yank" thing needs to die in a fire, IMO. It's seriously abusive, and counterproductive in the long term, especially if you consider tribal knowledge and business improvements.
Is the license fee on games for PS4 or Xbox a tax or is it graft?
I'd have to disagree. Most changes, at least at large companies, are driven by dollars, not ego.

A small change in user engagement can mean millions in revenue. Or billions, in the largest cases.

Things are extensively a/b tested to validate that the change drives revenue. And most companies are fine with forcing the user to learn, as long at it increases profits.
A better analogy would be to subtract the amount of bullets embedded in the wall behind the ducks from the total bullets fired.

Assuming ducks stop the bullets.

And assuming it's not just one immortal duck flying around super fast.
Thanks for the suggestion, how does what he says stack up against those who came after, I ask this because this is one of my favourite management talks by Russell Ackoff [1] and he mentions Dr Deming so assume he was influenced by/worked/studied with him and given their relative ages wondered if his work might be valuable to start with?

Its targeting government. NYC recently banned natural gas connections to new buildings. This kind of research will help other governments justify the change.
Oh, anti advertising maximalists certainly exist! I'm certainly not in the majority, but if I could live in a world where:

A) Advertising was considered so extremely gauche that no one did it
B) No revenue from advertising existed
C) Ad-supported services went away

I would be a very happy man.
I went probably 5 years ago and found it to be one of the most expensive places I've ever been. I lived in the Nordics for years, I've been to around 50 countries. The only other country that I felt gave it a run for the money in terms of my spending was Norway. I was a tourist, so lots of eating at restaurants, no cooking, but average meal for a basic drink + entre out I was averaging ~$50. I think you're right about the costs, it's a very high COL place and they probably don't want to encourage cheap backpacker type nomads who don't add a whole lot to the economy.
I don't litter, no. But that's an example of a tiny and trivial change which has outsized impact. If no-one litters, it's not really that hard, and the world would be super clean.

This isn't at all comparable to the sorts of changes that are required to lower one's carbon footprint. You would have to take literally every single thing most of us do every second of every day and change it dramatically.

I grow tired of having these debates online because it's just so frustrating, sorry. It's not a good faith debate because you're just bouncing between trivialities and non-trivialities.

I use more than the global average just to heat my house. Like, that's _one thing_. And you can argue that I can change that, and I can.

But my entire country is built with these houses. It's total and utter bollocks to pretend that some sort of 'culture of conservation' could change this.

Technology might allow me to heat it without emitting CO2. Otherwise, we need to knock it all down and start again. I suspect we will, but not by choice.
Fortnite did this, which lead to them being removed from the App Store shortly thereafter.

Definitely not the same. I feel when you dream you feel some time has passed. I've lost consciousness a number of times for different reasons and the common feeling is it doesn't feel like any time has passed. One moment I was awake and the very next I'm on the ground, my head hurts and have no idea what is going on.. for the first 30 seconds I wouldn't be able to tell you my name, where I am, what I was doing, etc. Then it all just comes back after a minute or two and you realize what happened.
> We're doing animals a favor, see!

Hardly. I'm simply arguing that some combination of current agricultural practice is little worse than the natural alternative of having to spend one's life constantly on-guard so that they don't become another animal's lunch. And then becoming lunch eventually (and viciously), anyway.

Can our practice be improved? Sure. But the "moral ethics" of "killing something for 5 minutes of taste pleasure" are not so black-and-white. I think your argument is unsustainably idealistic, and that you would deny people their "5 minutes of taste pleasure" because of that idealism
Obviously anecdotal but the startup I just joined (12 people, series A-ish) chose Rails. The team had previously come from a startup who crashed and burned in the complexity of a React SPA
App developers shouldn't be beholden to using Apple's payment processing if they don't want to use it. Along that same line of logic, forcing developers to go through Apple for first-party distribution gives them a defacto monopoly over the iPhone. Apple could charge 85% overhead and there would be nothing developers could do about it.

The only fair resolution here is to force Apple to compete with other storefronts to prove that the value they provide is competitive. Apple could resolve this issue in a number of ways, but they've only chose to make the problem worse; that's why 34 states have come forward voicing their concern[0], and why EU regulators have been stepping in to block Apple's service expansions. They're the largest company in the world, and they deserve the most regulatory scrutiny for it; anything else is a failure of democracy and capitalism.

The iPhone is largely a game machine as well, as some 70% of Apple's revenue from the App Store is from games.
There sure seems to be a distinction between having sensory input and being able to reflect on that experience. How else could you explain the phenomenon of blindsight?

I agree philosophical zombies are impossible, but only because they wouldn't be able to reliably talk about consciousness without a conscious "zombie master". See https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/zombies-sequence

Certain kinds of pain stimulus causes you automatically to move away from it, such as when you put your hand on a stove.

But parts of your body might be sending pain signals into the brain for which there are no automatic actions for, e.g. you are in a sauna and it's too much.

The state of the simulation that you are in is updated with this pain signal. So, now, you might experience discomfort in the sauna and it is repellent so you might want to construct an action plan to move away from the source that is causing the pain (the fact you're in a sauna). But you might want to resist that for a moment and ignore the pain, maybe you have another conflicting goal which is to try to stay longer in the sauna than you're used to. Eventually the discomfort and pain might become overwhelming so you move out of the sauna.
Can I just point out how jarring it is to read "pretty old" followed by a mention of the Wright brothers, the last of whom died in 1948.
The landfill is full of crap that you threw in it though so that would still be on you. It also probably serves more people than you have days in your lifespan.
I'm an SDE, and I recently talked to my manager at amazon about this. I basically said "this isn't true for our org, right?" and was told that even though our VP has tried to get out of the system (there are some quotas that he didn't go into detail about) we are stuck in the system and the result is that over the entire org, people are stack ranked (or something similar to stack ranking but not explicitly called "stack ranking" and if, for example, he was able to make the case that his direct reports were all doing well and improving, then inevitably other teams in the org would somehow be forced to have more low ranked individuals. I don't know how these things are enforced but there you have it. He also mentioned that someone explicitly said that the way to think about it is to "stack rank individuals in your head". Pretty blatant and it seems to be very much built in to the system.
They had deep enough trade links that some refugee sassanid princes ended up being absorbed into the chinese nobility after the muslim consquest of persia.
> 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.

Prices are set by supply and demand. If you take a 30% cut out of the supplier's revenue, you get fewer suppliers and the price each one can charge goes up because the customer can't switch to a competitor who was driven out of business by the high fees.
If it's just a question of revenue, Google can certainly afford to update it's Pixel devices for more than three years. Heck, they can afford to offer customer service and technical support hotlines the way Apple does as well.

However, the claim made was that Apple only started offering a longer update period after they started calling out service growth. This simply isn't true.
It takes almost no measures against child pornography specifically while essentially ending encryption (or moving encryption to a “first prove you’re not using it for harm” approach) and allowing an unelected commission to essentially define what is and what is not considered inappropriate for the internet to view

The bill is pushed by anti-lgbtq/religious groups under the guise of protecting children, similar to the failed California ballot measure pushed by religious groups in 2016 to require all porn viewed in California to feature the usage of condoms under the guise of promoting safe sexual practices (and allow individuals who witnessed such a video to personally sue the content provider), yet was actually a thinly veiled attempt to shut down the entire porn industry in California, where it was essentially invented.

Both of these cases should and likely would be thrown out by the Supreme Court as a direct threat against the first amendment, but who knows anymore.
It's a nuisance for sleeping. It appears to be bad for bugs, birds, nocturnal animals in general. It's certainly bad for sea turtles. I'm not sure what else, but man... this is one of my pet peeves. Almost every neighbor in my neighborhood has some kind of outdoor lighting that they leave on all night. I simply don't understand it, and it annoys me any time I'm out in the back yard around the firepit, looking up at the stars.
argc has always been able to be 0 and I've always handled that case

Yes, Rust guides you though setting up tge MSVC toolchain, then everything Just Works™, I'm not sure which toolchain the Rust sqlite3 bindings crate uses, but it also just works.

Actually, a lot of Node.js is written in plain JS, even large parts of the runtime itself, I've never needed a C compiler. This was mostly to make it easier for contributers that don't want to learn C++.

It's extremely rare for libraries to require any system dependencies, such as a C toolchain. Sharp (libvips bindings) will try to download precompiled binaries from a bucket somewhere, this is all done in ad hoc postinstall scripts, for better or for worse... Other libraries use JS as a C compile target with asm.js, opinions aside, it actually works pretty well.
The first step is governments banning gas for new builds like NYC has. And then offering interest free loans or other incentives to get rid of existing connections.
