> So yes, Apple is at the stage where already "some" of it's practices have been declared anti-competitive

Yes, but that’s irrelevant. It doesn’t mean their practices have been declared as such in some general way. If you want to discuss the specifics of that case, by all means do so, otherwise it’s just dishonest to pretend they are relevant.

As for what passed the committee - it’s possible that may indeed allow people to bypass the 15% fee (please don’t lie about it being 30% - that is only for a small number of developers).

It will also have all kinds of damaging impacts that make life harder for smaller developers, so it’s not a win for anyone except some larger scammy operators.

In any case, a committee vote is a long way from legislation. It’s unlikely to pass judicial review even if it passes both houses of Congress, which is also unlikely.
Look at the link! Claim of possible DNA from a dinosaur. It’s a bold claim (although carefully caveated) but doesn’t seem crackpot to me, especially considering there are other surviving macromolecules like proteins in soft tissue from dinosaurs.

I made no such claims of validating any quacks or quackery, as a careful reader would recognize. What is your agenda in misrepresenting what I wrote?

To clarify the point; the fact that a former president commented on the UAPs at all was remarkable. To expand, even the existence and decades long cover up Area 51 and the proven things that have come from those programs (like the f-117) are examples of the .1% of “conspiracy” quackery that did happen to be true.

I maintain these types of things are the gateway or hook that draw people deeper into conspiracies, but I’m no expert.
No, growing an audience of millions of people might necessitate going viral. Plenty of people are happy to have a very small, but tight knit community in their own little corner of the open web.

Tagref: Maintain cross-references in your code
It's not status as a nation, it's recognizability as a distinct place.

When someone asks where you're from, you're likely to reach for the most specific unit that you think that they will recognize.

In some conversations that will be the nation. In other conversations that will be the region. In other conversations that will be the city or even the neighborhood.

One major factor that affect how recognizable a placename is is population size.
And yet no one is complaining about all the misogynistic songs on Spotify and other lyrics. Grown adults have an honest conversation is more dangerous than people singing about raping women and treating them like shit.

It’s pretty fascinating.
I'm not even sure why you replied if you're not going to add anything to the conversation here. You talked about trusting your "bank" with cryptocurrency and I replied that you don't have to....your argument comparing cash to cryptocurrency is like comparing cash to property/stocks.... it was a strawman and doesn't make much sense.

The market (and you) decide to use cryptocurrency however you want, in a bank, in a wallet, or not at all. And that includes whether you think the "bank" holding your funds has enough guarantee that your funds are safe.

Good luck to you.

If you think Rogan is conservative leaning you're living in a liberal/progressive bubble and do not seem to realize it.
I agree.

I just don't get it. It's like that thing about how dumb the average person is and half of people are dumber than average.

Are we really this backwards? These issues were solved hundreds of years ago, free speech works, censorship doesn't
It's definitely improved noticeably since '16, when I moved out here. Which Washington Street? I live by North Station, and biking to the Charles River Path is a little scary, but once you're on the path, it's pretty easy to get to most of Back Bay/Fenway without too much of the way shared with traffic. There are still big gaps, but the number of grade separated paths in the West/North End, at least is heartening.

Seaport could be much better if enforcement was there at intersections. I've tried to use 311 to report drivers sitting in their cars at them.
Well they aren't wrong. They have been invading Ukraine in one way or another for quite a while (2014 and on going). Even now Russian convicts are offered reduce sentences to go fight in Donbass.

There is a great twitter account that compares raw "sharp pixel" renders of classic games side-by-side with how they actually looked running on CRT displays of the era.

https://twitter.com/CRTpixels

You start to realize that these artists not only crafted sprites specifically for the resolution and color constraints of console, but also for the unique display characteristics of the CRTs that were used at the time.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

> I’m not sure what the reasoning was here. I hope the author or others can shed some light.

From my point of view, the author almost made it into s-expressions, but decided not to go all the way, which (imo) would have been amazing and the "cleanest" (although I don't like using the term "clean" for code, it's so subjective). I'd like to have some light shed over the decision not to go all the way.
You just did above.

Because it's probably the least artistic endevour you can imagine. You're 100% governed by rules. Programmers and artists are polar opposites on the temperament scale.
>How did anyone "force" Spotify to do anything?

By making it costly not to do it, not in a free market (vote with wallets) way, but in a "will hurt you with bad publicity, government pressure, etc" way. Forcing doesn't need to be a gun in the head of the CEO.

>Various people put public pressure on Spotify and Spotify took the action that it presumably thought was optimal for its bottom line. Which companies do all the time.

Yes, like corporations did when they censored works because of pressure groups, like Tipper Gore's, stuff that promoted "homosexuality" or "decadent" black music in the past, etc.

Doesn't mean it was left to the individual customers to decide, or that corporations deemed the works they sold as unprofitable in themselves (that is, not selling).

Only unprofitable as in "not worth the trouble".

Which is a totally different thing.

Plot twist: Joe only does this because he wants Spotify to cancel the contract and pay him a huge cancellation penalty.
I get that you’re not storing something long term, but you are still storing it even if it is short term and thus presenting a risk. And you are still sharing secrets between applications thus presenting a risk. And all your suggestion is doing is offering a kludge around a solution you’ve already said is crappy, rather than switching to a robust and battle tested solution that literally every other platform already supports.

If you want to pass secrets securely between applications then you use a secrets manager. It’s how Linux and macOS work. It’s how secure systems in the cloud works. And thus it makes complete sense for Windows to follow suit. We aren’t talking about some theoretical concept here. It is absolutely how passing secrets between applications should be done.

If you have scepticism about this approach then you need to read up in this topic rather than pushing for a half baked kludge around something you’ve already acknowledged isn’t fit for security.

Sorry if this sounds blunt but this is a solved problem you’re trying to re-engineer and your solution is worse than the industry standard in a number of ways which I’ve already highlighted. And ironically it isn’t even just worse for security but also worse for usability well (you’re creating administrative overhead with the user approving safe applications. This wouldn’t be needed with a secrets manager since each application only has visibility of its own enclave). And if you remember back to your first post, usability was the entire reason you designed this solution in the first place.
This is rare, actual whataboutism.
Yeah, in Chicago the police don’t care much for these kinds of minor offenses, so I don’t think camera footage would help. I regularly see people blow hard red lights in front of a sitting squad car and nothing happens. You call 911 because someone is getting the shit beaten out of them in broad daylight and a squad car might roll out in 20 minutes or it might not show up at all.

(To be clear, I’m not anti-cop and I doubt this has anything to do with individual officers rather than explicit or implicit policing policy, but it really sucks)

And when the city tries to solve traffic problems with automation, some politician always figures out how to weaponized it against the citizenry—for example, the speeding cameras which are only supposed to be placed near parks and schools get placed near cemeteries and random patches of grass (especially in poorer neighborhoods) and you don’t get your warning or tickets for a month or more (giving you lots of time to accrue more offenses and defeating the purpose altogether). And the cherry on top is the “appeals process” policy is to deny all appeals.

Ultimately, bike infrastructure may be the only thing Chicago does passably. :’)
Not exactly an answer to your question about the original author's experience, but there has been more detailed analysis done about XMPP on very constrained networks. See for example https://www.isode.com/whitepapers/low-bandwidth-xmpp.html
Very instructive comparison... and considering the current laws on DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol, a clear endangerment to others imo) is instructive.

In my area:

* First offense (failed sobriety test): 6 month ban

* Second offense: 12 month ban

Convictions are different: they draw bans of 1, 5, and 10 years. You need 4 convictions for a lifetime ban.

Most counts reset after N years.

Now compare this to the suggestions for an airline no-fly list. The permissiveness with which alcohol + driving is treated in the US boggles the mind, but I think it's clear from this a similar proposal for airlines would be very lenient.
Even more relevant in this case because Spotify is based in Sweden.
Then use another browser.
I think censorship is morally and ethically wrong, and no amount of left wingers screaming "save the kids" like you is going to change my mind.
You must be sleeping, really. They've collected troops on all sides of Ukrainian border, and ships are on the move.
In, for example, Austin (my home), most sidewalks allow biking. There's a city code that lists which sidewalks are NOT allowed for biking, and it mostly amounts to "any sidewalk that people actually use for walking" (which is a small minority).

I think one issue is that motorists notice bikes on the road or bike lane more than they notice bikes on sidewalks, hence more likely to hit them when turning. But I agree it's a way to bootstrap up.
As someone that moved to Utrecht five years ago (and also from California)....you could not have picked a better place. Infrastructure is amazing and quality of life is superb. Of course not everything is perfect and cost of living has sky rocketed but I assume you work in tech and everything will be fine. There's quite a lot of high quality cities but Utrecht is really nice (although the Netherlands is a bit boring but that's subjective of course).

Rich Hickey has a great bit about this one: when you turn a computer programmer loose on the arts, what you tend to get is: the choosaphone! It can make any sound you want, you just have to wire it right!

Most artists are far more productive with a cello than with a choosaphone.
The point isn't to compare regions to regions, is to compare geographical designators by how likely someone outside your country is to recognize the name. Population size and distinctive identity are two factors that matter in that regard.

In some conversations the most recognizable name will be the city. In others it will be the region. You pick the one that is most likely to be recognized.
very very cool I love it. Highly needed.
I've found the same for my city, except the parking. There's only one shopping strip I goto that has grocery, pet supplies, hardware, etc that has a proper bike rack. Everywhere else, it's a game of finding something suitable to lock by bike against.

Other than that, I love using my ebike over a car
Yup. Our competitor advertises against our company name, and Google helpfully optimises the text of their ad -- some ML algorithm finds text most likely to be confused with the search results. Optimising for "clicks" is just optimising garbage.
Hadn't noticed before but speakers haven't suffered the same fate as other tech where additions and improvements of tangential aspects haven't affected the core performance. A modern low/mid-end laptop has increased battery life and lower weight, at the expense of CPU power. Your new printer might have Wi-Fi and bluetooth, but jams and leaks too often and probably has increasingly restrictive cartridge DRM.

A typical $30 bluetooth speaker has great battery life, is portable, usually rugged and often visually well designed too, and still sound as nice or nicer than I (non-audiophile) would expect from such a versatile budget device.
Of course. I was responding only to the incorrect claim that we don’t put them on a no-drive list.
Unless your mother got the computer in order to code json parsers or similar, how is this related to the questions? Nobody doubts that computers can be used to make art, the question was if programming was an art.
Alex Jones actually is a very serious performance artist who never breaks kayfabe, like that one old magician that Christian Bale's character in the Prestige respected for perpetually keeping up his act while in public. There is a lot of overlap with what Jones is doing and something like professional wrestling.

I don't much care for his style, but I think one day, maybe long after his death, people will give Jones the respect he deserves as an artist. A well-flowing rant is not an easy thing to improvise, and he is just a machine for generating them. To paraphrase a quote about jazz, you don't just wake up one morning, pick up a microphone and start raving about the new world order.

There is a real art to conspiracy theorizing. You can't just make things up. You have to take random true things and stitch them together into sort of framework that's wild and entertaining enough for your audience while still seeming plausible. You have to shade them in with sinister undertones. It's a sort of dark impressionism.

He is his own brand of genius.
First of all, assault is not a "minor" crime.

Secondly, you're sealed into a tube with 100 other passengers, over the Atlantic ocean on a 14 hour flight. One passenger who cannot control themselves, decides they're going to punch a flight attendant. Now what? You can't just call the police (like you can on the street).

So now, people who are not the police, have to "detain" this individual to keep them from hurting others. The plane has to divert to land so that the person can be handled by law enforcement. The 14 hour flight is now potentially 24-48 hours total, people have missed connecting flights, holidays, work meetings, etc.

So how and why people continue to compare punching someone on the street with punching someone on an airplane, is beyond me. While they're both technically assault, that's where the comparison ends.
Any evaluation of a functional-based language is going to use this. Here's a simple example:

Let's say I have a function `add1`
`add1 = \x -> x + 1` (A function that takes a value `x` and then computes `x + 1`
And then I write the program:
`add1 2`

If we want to evaluate this program, first we substitute the variable to get
`add1 2` -> `(\x -> x + 1) 2`

Then we perform "beta reduction" to get:
`(\x -> x + 1) 2` -> `2 + 1`

Then it's simple arithmetic:
`2 + 1` -> `3`

"The point" here is to have formal rules for defining what a computation means. This helps with writing proofs about what programs do, or what is possible for programs to do.

For example, say I have a simple program with static types. I might want to prove that if the programs type checks, type errors will never occur when you run the program. In order to do this proof, I have to have some formal notion of what it means to "run the program". For a functional language, beta reduction is one of those formal rules.
Yeah, +1, though tech is so parochial l, so much of this would require SO much context to communicate problem and solution domain clearly and concisely.

The period around 1984 was a cultural peak like the period around 1968.

Look at how much enduring pop music came from 1983-1984, also a lot of books were published, also that was the golden age for 8-bit home computers.
I think Spotify is getting onto thin ice. I subscribed to Spotify because I want to stream music, and I like that the bands I listen to get a bit of money.

But when I hear that they are paying $100M to some controversial US podcaster (before Neil Young left Spotify I have never heard of Joe Rogan), I'm thinking, this isn't what I signed up for. I want my money to go towards German indie bands, not rich American celebrities.

I don't know what the majority of Spotify listeners care about, but for my part I know I couldn't care less about podcasts, I just want to listen to music.
Russia is obviously preparing for a full-scale invasion. It may be a bluff or not, we don't know.

But as I said, they don't even deny buildup.

They just say that they do not want to invade and that it is their right to gather army all around Ukraine. None of our business.

Instead they make demands with regard to security of countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and of course Ukraine.

Hi, do you allow startups to embed this into their product to offer to their customers as a chart builder solution without requiring them to create their own account?like an oem approach?
Your version is just obscure.

Obviously the problem has something to do with the 270 degree heading. Obviously the FAA is saying so. You're just making the headline confusing and uninteresting by omitting that.

Making an interesting point with imperfect precision is better than failing to say anything interesting at all.

I agree that "West" could have been improved by replacing with "some runways with a due West heading" but entirely dropping the interesting point, as the headline does now, is a cure worse than the disease.
Sure, thanks for the pointers.

I believe there is definitely truth to it. I’ve seen first hand how Stanford/MIT or FAANG on your resume can give you a leg up in the hiring committee over many people without the pedigree who turn out to be far better engineers.

That said I agree with GP, there is not much to be gained from focusing on systemic biases. Just because a narrative is truthy does not make it definitive; the map is not the territory and all that. As an individual focus on what you can control and you have the possibility of achieving outcomes unique to you.
It's obvious that Rogan has a diverse audience from looking at the facts.

It's up to you to provide evidence to the contrary or you will have proven yourself to be arguing in bad faith which wastes people's time and harms discourse.
Ukraine does not manage its membership in NATO or in EU. It is the sovereign right of NATO members to decide on expansion policy and they have no intention currently to offer membership to Ukraine. For some weird reason they are at the same time not ready to commit to that, just because this will look like it's happening due to pressure from Russia. Childish.
The fellow behind this has been hammering at experiments around so called optimal reduction strategies for a while!

The problem is not that private companies doing whatever they wish to do with his content. Spotify in normal times would have no incentives to delete those episodes. It seems the governments in US are enforcing censorship through private sector in the name of disinformation. I urge you to see the recent comments from White House press secy, congressional hearings and so on who insist private sector do more of the dirty work of censorship for them because they don’t like certain point of views. They know they can’t pass a bill that can stand the ground of taking out those contents without standing constitutional challenges.
