I generally believe Apple, Google and others should be able to profit from creating some of the most useful, innovative and technically challenging products in human history (remember multi touch was not an affordable thing before Apple).

But, 15 years (since original iPhone) is about enough to reward the innovation. Beyond that point, it is the role of government to open up platforms to enable the next generation of competition and creation, otherwise things start to get stagnant.

That said, there aren’t a ton of things left that can’t be done without Apple approval (or rather, tons of things but not tons of value being blocked). Free speech seems like the big one and I do think it’s good for that to be officially supported (and require court orders to block rather than Apple/Google orders).

I would be a bit worried about the the ability of the EU to regulate privacy as swiftly and effectively as Apple. If I go to a clinic, they ask me to side load an app while I’m sick, and that app has no real privacy protections…

Probably on balance, this will be good for free society, and come with the natural knock on effect of more freedom to harm yourself as well.
> a local problem

So now it'll be a local problem... just for some other poorer people.
I think we all would benefit from a 10 year moratorium on taking on epic legacy cultural icons by the current US media and entertainment crowd.
Wait till must-have apps go for 3rd party stores and exploit that to no end. E.g. banking, transit, parking etc.

Oh man...Dell is terrible about this. Not sure what the policy is anymore (esp since they went private), but to get promoted you had implement a significant cost savings project, which ironically lead to multiple implementations and reversals of policies...they all showed a cost savings but it depended on your perspective.
> major corporations aren't going to open their own app stores or migrate to third-party app stores

The major corporations will try, but consumers are just burnt out by managing all of the user accounts and dealing with different ecosystems. Not to mention even casual users are vaguely aware that these companies are out to take their data and sell them ads now.

I foresee that any attempt to put their apps exclusively on competing scammy low-privacy third party app stores will end in tears and mea culpas, leading them to put those apps back on the Apple App Store. As I've said before, creating a compelling alternative app ecosystem is hard, and if you think a Facebook App Store is going to be so scary, just look at the current state of the Amazon Appstore on Android, or the Samsung Galaxy Store. These are real world case studies, not hypothetical doomsday scenarios, and they do not show consumers flocking to these alternatives.

Finally, it's possible that antitrust logic can apply to these companies just as they apply to Apple. If Google tries to make Gmail, YouTube, G-Suite, etc. apps available only on a Google iOS Play Store, the courts aren't going to be happy about that.

> then what kind of companies are going to need to have a third-party app store that's uncontrolled by Apple?

Epic, mostly, with their games store. Piracy (for game emulators, ROMs, etc.), Porn and other adult content, and open-source Purists a la F-Droid. Also, potentially governments such as China or Russia.

> Do you think these companies have spent this much money on marketing and bankrolling lobbyists in the US and EU for no reason?

It's perfectly possible for companies to waste a lot of money on boondoggles that won't actually help their bottom line, yes.
Huh, there's even a bipartisan spread of cosponsors. That might actually have a chance.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/jessica-biel-takes-shot-at-am...

This article is illustrative of the ignorance, malice, and hypocrisy of America's social elite. Jessica Biel implies France has women's rights while the U.S. does not. And yet:

* Neither France, nor any other nation I am aware of, provides a constitutional right to abortion.

* The law upheld by the Dobbs decision is less restrictive on abortion than France's current abortion laws!

Speaking of hypocrisy, We see rage from so many people who frequently bemoan the state of "our democracy" and at the same time could care less about democracy. They only care about winning. If they can win through democratic vote, fine. If they can win through a supreme court ruling, fine. If they can win via executive fiat, fine. All that matters is winning.

From https://www.dailywire.com/news/wanda-sykes-mocks-middle-amer....

Wanda Sykes is basically asking for a wealth-based oligarchy to rule the U.S. All the folks in middle states need to "shut up" because the wealthy elites on the coasts are making all the money, so they should make all the decisions!

This is…basic philosophical knowledge about Plato’s ideas. It’s not up for debate.
There must be some level of tax strategy across these streaming platforms to get a video series to pay for a buildout of IT infrastructure that then gets added to its general AWS service (or iCloud etc). Many US states have wildly generous film tax credits, so it’s almost conning these states into footing the bill for the next AWS data center. (Edit: NZ is paying 25% into this project as an economic and tourism generator)

As others have pointed out, this is a lot of money for a series without recognizable names, so potentially the true cost of production is a very overpriced contract for digital services. The article cites “expensive costumes and elaborate sets” as a cost driver, I guess we will have to wait and see, but that seems like a cover.

To quote Arrested Development, “It’s one banana, Michael! What could it cost, $10?”

Nonetheless, exciting to see an updated and hopefully more approachable journey into Middle Earth. I love LOTR, but cannot get my family excited to hunker down for a 3+ hour movie compared to watching 1hr chunks of tv series.
Pretty much the same as loading an unsigned or untrusted kernel module, someone would have to get it loaded from a privileged account.
It won't - without root piracy will still be extremely hard.
I've noticed this gets said of every protest movement in the last few decades: BLM protests in the US, Trucker convoy in Canada, Yellow Vest in France. Even years ago, the average urban dweller started to hate the Critical Mass protests in cities when their commute got worse. I wonder if there is a limit on disobedience that is tolerated? Or simply people get defensive when they are made to suffer for a protest they aren't directly involved with?

This isn't about the actual movements/protests, but about the tactics. "Raising awareness" only gets you so far, negatively impacting people seems to backfire. Is there a middle ground?
Definitely -- I can imagine them making it some kind of faustian bargain, where in exchange for enabling sideloading, you void your warranty, never get any software updates again, can't connect to any Apple online services whatsoever, etc.
If the right to an abortion was already codified in law by the U.S. Constitution, why was a ruling on Roe v. Wade even necessary?

Come on man, that's just muddying the water. The courts do care about intent, and Google's intent is clear in this case.

Also, that's like saying there is no such thing as a gun shop, just a retail business providing access to various kinds of gear.
> creative genius of Apple.

You're forgetting the "no creative geniuses"-clause, aka repeated fines of 10-20% of worldwide turnover.
What makes you think the description is incorrect? Even following your own account the title of the article is spot on.

The rest of the emissions story is the overarching narrative that we "must" cut some emissions and therefore food production must be reduced and hence food prices must increase.
The other thing is nVidia try and sell GPUs with similar performance at two very different prices. One price for data centres and a quite different price to kids. If you do the job yourself you can often get away with using the much cheaper gamer grade cards for AI work (unless you need a lot of VRAM), whereas such as AWS can't do that and are required by nVidia to use the considerably more expensive cards. If your workload will fit on a gamer grade card there's no contest on price between an on-prem system and the cloud.
There’s nothing to improve.

Developers want push notifications on a web browser for mobile? That’s not an improvement.

Firefox is a better browser than chrome but you can’t move people away from chrome.

So regardless of what you think. Adding other browsers to iOS will only have a negative long term effect.
It doesn't. The parent premise - that Apple is going to be severely harmed financially by any of this - is something far beyond silly.

Apple will barely see a dent from it. Their profit juggernaut will keep rolling on almost exactly the same.

The parent comment in question - "and eat pretty heavily into their revenues" - is confusing their personal projected wishful thinking (obviously desperately wanting big tech to falter) with actual reality (the one where Apple has no serious competitive threats in smartphones for what they do, and as such they'll keep marching on just the same).
it also thinks that I'm younger than I really am.
I mean it's nowhere as bad, and for legacy stuff usually CORS/SOP helps.

New implementations that use websocket as their root (mostly for web browser compatibility) seem to take security more seriously out of the box, I use a couple apps in my day-to-day which expose APIs over Websocket and don't trust by default.

- Vtube Studio has a auth dialog that pops up on first connection you must accept before commands are executed

- obs-websocket by default requires a password to be used.

There's always outliers sadly, for example "beefweb" (Foobar plugin) has auth but it's not enabled by default.
But notifications do not actually download messages. This means that pressing a notification opens the app, but shows a blank page for a second or two while downloading the message. This was annoying enough that I stopped using their mobile app for a native client.
The current SCOTUS steamrolling isn't just about abortion, it's part of a long fought right-wing battle to give more power to the states, and less to the federal government.

And with that said, I think people must simply prepare for some states having absolutely abysmal and regressive laws / protections when it comes to privacy, gender / sex, etc., while the rest will continue to live in the present day.

I'm not a fan of slippery slope arguments, but do you really think people that will fight this hard for essentially making abortion illegal (in certain states) will be content with just that? Or are fundamentally the type of people to only control one aspect of life?

Absolutely not. The SCOTUS is signaling that anything that's not an originalist black-or-white interpretation of the constitution, is going to be fair game at the state level in the future.
The confusion stems from the introduction of "neoconservatism" into a thread which just before was topic-centered around neoliberalism. To a reader it looks as if it's trying to establish that neoliberalism and neoconservatism belong to the same category and together form a unity of opposing forces. It reads as if neoconservatism is a conservative form of neoliberalism (or vice versa).
Let's take your analogy and fix it a bit.

There's a guy living on one side of the lake in an area where electricity is cheap. He decides to setup a bitcoin miner in his home. Once he starts making money, he realizes his profit is quite good; so he scales up, and scales up, and scales up. Eventually he's drawing so much electricity that it's affecting the whole region; and he's cooling his mining rigs with circulated lake water, eventually affecting the local wildlife in the water and around it.

Is that ok? After all, 1 rig was fine. What's wrong with 1000 rigs?

What's wrong is that there was always an environmental or public cost that was not borne by the person making the profit. When it was a small cost, it wasn't a problem. But now it's a huge cost.
> Pets are loved but they are property with negligible economic value, unlike a human life.

You're missing the point, which is not about "economic value" (whatever you mean by that -- the amount someone would be willing to pay to save their own life? Their income?). The point is that no one who loves their pets dearly wants them to suffer, which puts the buyer in a worse bargaining position. I would (and have) paid many thousands to save a pet's life.
> For example FedEx flies Boeing jets

This, in particular, is a bad argument since jets are replaceable and interchangeable.

Possibly, the only thing that is not replaceable in FedEx is their information system.
>the republicans will use there judicative power to fullest extent

Sure, but it's still better to make them do it rather than establishing that the Federal government can regulate abortion.
Perhaps, but the demo did not show anything an insurance company would not already know. But as a wider observation, financial products are already based on models even though none of them are perfect. Making those models better isn't really a bad thing.

I think the process is:

The theory predicts a bunch of particles.

Scientists build LHC to check if the theory is right.

LHC finds the predicted particles.

The theory was right.
Depends how you define adoration. Until heart beat? Third month? Sixth month? Until right before birth?

I think most were fine with third month.
This was overturned no? So is this now also more ironclad? And the whole point of elections and politics and lawmaking is to keep up with changing culture and norms?

I see your point in practicality, but are they mutually exclusive?
They asked for permits, they got permits. These permits were based on calculations of other measures the government was going to take to reduce nitrogen emissions. Now those permits turn out to be wrong, and whilst farmers with permits can keep them, they cannot sell, expand, or modify their business. Moreover, there is a chance they will be forced to sell their farms to the government.

The government caused this problem, the only mistake farmers made was trusting the word of the government.
I'm new to Zig this year, and I'll share my own learning experience. ziglang.org's overview[0] says, "Zig functions avoid colors." I interpreted that as similar to Go's lack of function colors. Given the rest of the language design, I didn't think it really possible.

Months later I read Gavin's post (linked above). I found that post immensely helpful to understand Zig's design around sync/async function colors (thanks Gavin!). Gavin's post helped to illuminate for me that Zig functions do have colors, but that the compiler can infer the color in most usual cases. This is still very exciting!

As I see it, it's not to Zig's detriment whether it "has" function colors or not, I don't really care. I'm really excited about Zig either way. But I personally (coming from a decade+ of JS/Python/Go) found the verbiage I found used to describe Zig's behavior here confusing.

"... 44% of consumers in Germany follow a low-meat diet, which is a significant increase from 2014 (26%). Similarly, 6% of US consumers now claim to be vegan, up from just 1% in 2014" [from 2017]

https://www.reportbuyer.com/product/4959853/top-trends-in-pr...

"The number of vegans in Great Britain quadrupled between 2014 and 2019"

"The 400% increase of vegans in the UK is shocking, but the 1,500% increase in plant-based food sales in the UK is even more shocking. "

"In 2022, research by ProVeg found that 51% of Germans had reduced their meat intake in the previous year"

"In 2022, research commissioned by ProVeg Netherlands found that 28% of Dutch people want to see a future without meat, and 20% would like to see the government ban slaughterhouses"

" Research conducted in 2021 by Rakuten found that 82% of consumers in the US have tried plant milk, 40% have tried other vegan dairy alternatives, 62% have tried plant-based meats and 22% have tried vegan egg replacements. Key motivations included health (35%), wanting to try a food trend (41%), and concern for animals (23%). The same research found that 5% of respondents said that they only consume plant-based foods""

You are fully and entirely correct.

Now, really, ponder on that.

Your instagram/Facebook likes alone reveal your gender, sexuality, relationship status and more. Add in a touch of PII to narrow it down to a single person.
Of course people won't go hungry in the Netherlands, they'll just eat worse food instead and their economy takes a hit.
It's hard to say the state isn't coming after you in this case though.

Why the hell does my neighbor get to care if a specific doctor performed an abortion? Why can they launch a civil case against and be compensated financially for something that doesn't affect them in any way?
The thing where politicians hold any sort of progressive legislation hostage with extortionate demands over unrelated issues is a common theme across countries.

Like government funded Catholic schools in Canada. Something that shouldn't exist anymore but whoops it's in the constitution so it's going to be there forever now because no one would ever agree to just one change.
That's the plan. Or we reduce our meat consumption, that's probably even better for the planet. It's a very localised problem to "move it somewhere else" is actually a possibility.
I for one, will be alive for another 50 years if you go by how old my grandfather and father are(both still quite alive).

As long as the farmers are made whole if their farms are indeed shut down. Right now that is a 'fear' not an actuality of any policy. Times change, things change. I am pretty confident in saying that these ancestral farms are not run the same today as they were 100 years ago. So their impact is much different.

Also, I feel the same about people that do not want to leave the environment cleaner on all levels. "Who cares about climate change, I'll be dead when the worst of it comes to pass."
Beef prices have been extremely high for a while now, having over doubled since the pandemic started, and going up 5x since 2010. The people suffering from food insecurity haven't been eating beef as a staple. It's a luxury.

Industrial beef is fed grains that could be instead used to feed humans (or, at least the land used to produce these grains can instead produce human food). This is a far more efficient use of calories. People worried about food insecurity should be looking at reducing meat production for this very reason.
> Every single app creator out there will now want their own "app store" and it's going to be a mess.

This is such an oft-repeated argument, yet overlooks that Android already allows sideloading and alternative app stores. If everyone-creating-their-own-app-store hasn't happened on Android, why would iOS be different?
How long do you imagine $300k (the average cost to raise a kid) will last you in a luxury nursing home?
Their intent is pretty clearly to protect the privacy of women seeking healthcare at facilities that do provide abortions. But they are not peeking at what sort of healthcare the women are seeking. There's a clear distinction.

"Without regard to the purpose of their visit" is going to pass muster pretty much anywhere.

The American Civil War was started by South Carolina with an attack on Fort Sumter very shortly after South Carolina passed its articles of secession. (Source: 7th grade South Carolina history.)

Those are not two distinct events, they are one and the same. The people whose water you’re carrying have been lying to you your entire life and you’re happily helping them with your nonsense.

I did get one thing wrong; it wasn’t the Texas Board of Education that wanted to hide the fact that Texas was a slave state (although several members pushed for "involuntary relocation", which is both offensive and ahistorical). It was the Texas legislature (https://archive.ph/wGe8Z) who wished to hide the fact that the original Texians were illegal immigrants to Mexico who brought their slaves with them against Mexican law and other "inconvenient facts" which, to them, defame the "great state of Texas".

It’s hard to remember exactly which agency in Texas is responsible for the most outrageous statements, since they’re all Republican outrage monsters these days, so I think I can be forgiven that one small error.
I really like NixOS (I just barely distro-hopped away from NixOS back to Arch). One reason I switched away is because similar to my i3 setup I would find myself tweaking my actual desktop/system more than getting work done. Mostly because I haven't sat down for a few hours to become more familiar with Nix's declarative language -- but I kind of don't Nix's language and think it is far from intuitive for me.

That last paragraph is a bit disingenuous. The model has been in development since at least 2013 (https://www.aerius.nl/en/reviews links to an international scientific review from 2013)

The discussion is highly politicized (and that’s an understatement), so it’s hard to figure out whether the model is good enough for its purpose. Any statement by the developers about uncertainties in the model gets translated into “it’s rubbish” by some of those (currently; from what I understand, some politicians have changed their opinion here over the years) not happy with its predictions.

I don’t know how hard it is to do either, but those who want to can read the source or run the model. The model is open source (GNU Affero GPL version 3. See https://gitlab.com/AERIUS/AERIUS)
