Apps are great for recurring use, it’s a PITA when it’s single/twice use or if you want standard features (accessibility, print/save screen, sharing urls etc.).

For instance parking payment apps, mobile ticket apps etc. that you download when in vacation and could 100% be web only, or a PWA if Apple was onboard with it, instead of their “light app” thing.

Or I had some of the government services apps not exposing text labels as selectable, which is a pain if you need to search for it. Same thing when you want to print/save the screen, you end up with a single screen png instead of potentially a fully scrolled and text including pdf. All these features could be coded in the app, but realistically devs don’t give a damn as it doesn’t bring much praise or money.
What causes you to perceive the EU to be less protectionist?

The EU precovid had a net positive trade balance with the rest of the world. [1].

The US precovid had a net negative trade balance of nearly $50 Bn a month. [2].

The balance of trade between the US and EU is quite remarkably in the favor of the EU for trade with a "protectionist state
". How do you explain this discrepancy? If the US is so protectionist why are exports as a percentage of its GDP 1.58 times smaller than that of the EU [3][4]?

The implication goes way beyond code. Software writing is miniature organization design. Making clear interface is easier said than done. Zooming out a bit, a software team should be modular and composable. Zooming even more out, the whole company should be modular and composable. The whole cliche of "communicate more, collaborate more" is just a euphemism of bad interface design of organization. If you can get things done without communicating back and forth, who wants to spend 20 hours a day in meeting/brainstorm/catch-up?

Can we imagine having to email the author of `ls` to clarify the usage of flag `-l` in the name of breaking the silo? In reality it does happen but most of us just happily accept it or consult the documentation if needed. Now, can we imagine having to email the author of an internal library in your own company to clarify usage? I bet it happens all the time. Interface design is hard. Code-wise or org-wise.

>Or course, this is mostly a result of Apple being greedy. If they had acted like a good steward of the platform rather than trying to extract a lot of money from developers, we probably wouldn't be here

I don't think so. Another comment was mentioning how some desktop apps are built to install ONLY from a certain marketplace (eg Steam) so you can't install them from anywhere else. It could easily happen on iOS.
That isn't news. The reason why Italy runs a trade surplus is because they are forced into running a primary surplus by deflationist policies from the German bloc.

The reason private debt is relatively low is because their banks largely do not function and have turned into bailout mechanisms (and Italy had to take the step of bailing in private investors because they were unable to finance their debt, given the relatively large size of the banking sector, this basically froze their financial markets).

Correct, Italy has run primary surpluses since the 90s...their debt is 150% of GDP, the conclusion is what?

The other stuff is largely false...but assume it isn't, what is the explanation for Draghi's reforms? Youth unemployment is 35% (for reference, this is higher than many places in Africa). People confuse the policies that have been forced on Italy due to Germany's ordo-liberalism, and actual economic strength.

Also, there is massive regional inequality within Italy. Some regions in the North are basically Germany. The companies are run by Germans, the investors are German, the population largely speak German. Those areas, it is true, do well. But if you are looking at Southern Italy, there are huge problems (and btw, anyone who is trying to tell you the opposite has an agenda, I have never seen this outside the context of "...so ordo-liberalism works, it must continue, deflationism works"...because if it is true that Italy is a basketcase, which it is then people start asking whether a fixed exchange rate is a good idea...which it isn't).

That is not necessarily true. Presidential administrations can affect the economy through fiscal spending. The Biden administration started their administration with $1.9 trillion in stimulus, on the heels of about $3 trillion in stimulus spending. Their $1.9 stimulus was poorly targeted and risked exacerbating inflation, a few federal reserve banks and many economics said this at the time. Gosh, imagine if the administration got their $4-6 trillion dollar build back better program passed. Obviously there are a lot of factors at play and a lot of this is up for debate.

My local community spent $10 million dollars of federal covid stimulus money on a park/tourist attraction that is less than 1 acre in size. That is just one example of the frivolous items governments all over the country have spent this money on. There isn't a lot of auditing or reporting going on about this. This is all inflationary.

That… is not my understanding of the word “salary”; this article is conflating it with total compensation. Rather confusing.
A trade surplus is not evidence of protectionism. The most common metric to measure protectionism (in as far as it can be measured statistically) is the Weighted Mean Tariff Rate. Compare the EU at 1.48% to the US at 1.52% - the EU is slightly lower and both are among the lowest in the world, certainly of the large economies.

It's literal misinformation to say that the EU is more protectionist than the US. It was a Trump talking point, and never based in fact.

The iOS SDK certainly won't break when they shutter all development. Until they discover that they can save on cost by shuttering the API itself of course.

That's the point.
I’ve found it interesting that the range of visible light for humans has the highest frequency roughly double that of the lowest frequency. Working by analogy to sound, we essentially see one “octave” of light and if we perceived frequencies into infrared or ultraviolet, they would perceptually look like variants of the color at 2× or ½× the frequency (which suddenly makes the adjacency of violet and red on the color wheel make sense). I kind of wonder whether anyone has ever made a camera that doubles or halves as appropriate light frequencies beyond the visible spectrum to make them visible. It would be interesting to see what the world looks like extending the range in either direction.
The link was 'Cf', meaning it gives background on the part of financial regulation I talk about, rather than being a direct source.

Launch HN: Vital (YC W20) – API for wearables and labs
Maitham here, we’re building an API for at-home health data (https://tryvital.io). We allow developers to easily connect to hundreds of wearable devices and deliver at-home lab tests to their users, with a few lines of code.

Health data from wearables and labs sit in various data sources, each requiring a different integration. Most with bad documentation and some even needing a partnership. Data collected from these sources play a crucial role in health monitoring. Our goal is to enable developers to build applications on top of it.

Having previously worked as an engineer at a telehealth company, I saw firsthand how hard it is to build and maintain integrations with labs, wearables and medical devices. I personally became a health enthusiast trying to fix my own problems after having over ten surgeries, suffering from IBS, and sleep apnea.

We’ve built an API that gives you access to over 300 devices directly through our SDKs or our API. We also expose a plaid-like widget to connect devices. For our lab test API, we have partnered with independent labs in the US and have a physician network covering all 50 states, allowing any company to order at-home functional tests. Our docs can be found here (https://docs.tryvital.io).

Our existing customers use our API to build apps to help allergy sufferers, wellness and fitness coaching, metabolic health support, and sleep optimisation. We have an API for individual developers and we charge based on the number of connected users and a platform fee for at-home lab tests. We open-source all our libraries and SDK’s, and hope by doing so we can both encourage more open data standards and alleviate privacy concerns.

One last thing! We know privacy is extremely important when it comes to health data, we anonymise all data by default and we use Evervault to encrypt the data, you can read more about it here https://docs.tryvital.io/welcome/privacy. We also have an upcoming feature to set auto-expiry on data, that allows companies to set a period that the data stays stored for.
It's a pretty bad article.

I am a fan of DynamoDB for simple applications that have a low transaction rate but that need to run 24-7. (Email list manager, something that parodies NFTs, etc.) For these things I find that running a conventional database in the cloud is unaffordable and tends to drive me crazy with maintenance because the high cost makes me want to lowball the specifications on the machine which means occasionally a small load spike will crash the database and force me to reboot.

This article avoids animated image memes and similar sins but it has no depth, it's one of those non-technical technical articles that started to flood the web when Medium came out.

It's interesting that we're basically seeing a re-exploration of what William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin were concluding with their invention of the cut-up technique. This was basically a way of making poetry by cutting up words in a text and randomizing or rearranging them to make them convey a completely new idea. They have described it as a way of, at times, being revealed things by a higher power, even claiming that it predicted the future. DALL-E is essentially a few evolutionary steps ahead of the cut-up technique.
Ok, TIL... I still think it's nonsense to use this term, but probably the NSA preferred this one rather than using "interception" or similar so it could more easily present it as legitimate.

In the scale of things, I could imagine a combination of the 200k people who died (those below retirement age) and the 2 million people who were hospitalized (who knows what kind of long term effects they had, also below retirement age) and also the 80 million who had symptomatic illness (how many of them have long Covid now?) we might see a needle moved in the job sector… especially if the losses are in specific professions that had more exposure to people…

There are cryptocurrency systems like Nano or GNU Taler which can be broadly competitive with the alternatives AFIK, so long you are using them in a peer-to-peer manner that doesn't involve Fiat.

>And the fees charged are vastly more and vastly slower.

...If you are using a system like Bitcoin or Etherium that has poorly-adjusted artificial limitations on consensus bandwidth. Yes, the cryptocurrency market at large needs a wake up call.

>And the only real USP of "enables criminal activity" is not a valid USP that anyone should allow or touch.

I don't think all less-trustworthy payments should fall under this umbrella of "criminal activity". If I want to send some money to a anonymous person on IRC, I'm not going to give them my credit card info let alone paypal because they're attached to my personal information which could be used to blackmail/dox me. There is a reasonable use-case for giving the average person the same privacy they expect from cash, but with the ability to make transfers over the internet (that are signed in a secure way!).

But in any case the whole point of cryptocurrency is to act non-permissively. You might be right to disagree with its criminal use, especially if you live in a free society (where we agree on definitions of crime that are non-authoritarian). But regardless of what either of us think, the system will continue to develop as long as there is financial interest in DN infrastructure and the cryptography is sound.
"2022 is the year where Tech Compensation drops for the first time in decades."

First line of the actual article.

Subheader: "2022 is bringing us one of the largest declines in tech compensation in decades"

Not sure how you are confused. Yes, Salary was used in headline, but the article made it very clear it was instead referring to compensation as a whole, and how this was affecting, basically, your take home.

So, not sure where the article (which is pedantically separate from the headline) is confusing about this.

Meta: It's annoying to see comments discuss the typos, the precise definition of things, and the otherwise useless pedantic-isms in HN articles. This isn't a recent occurrence, and I'm sure I've been a part of the problem in the past, but these comments are usually worthless at best, if not harmful in that it detracts from a more useful and constructive discussion.

In the race to be "clever" and "technically correct", it's actually lazy and pointless. I wish there was a way to simply filter out this drivel.

In many ways I dislike even having to type this meta commentary, but I feel it needs to be said. Apologies for the disruption.
Below, you're doubling down on the "monolith == 1 server" point. You should do a bit of research before you continue, the word doesn't mean what you think it means.
PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain, missing anything here?) have high debt

For simplification let's say they spend 10% of their anual budget servicing debt at an average of 5% interest rate

If the base interest rate rises by 50 bps, you could argue the average debt held by PIGS would eventually rise by the same amount, _at least_!

So now you have 5.5% interest rates, which is a 10% increase

So the anual budget used to service the debt would also increase by 10%, from 10% to 11%

By buying bonds from these countries you pressure the yields down
Another interesting factor (obviously not specific to tech) is inflation. This means that real wages probably declined by closer to 20-25% once accounting for that.

> Isn't the burden of proof on the one making the claim?

Yes. It is.

> I have yet to see a reasonable case for why they should be called a global leader when they treat their workers differently for the same output.

My point was no-one has made that claim (nor any similar positive claim - your rephrasing uses weasel words* to bias the interpretation)

The claim being made is as follows: "paying workers geo-adjusted wages precludes a company from being a global leader in remote work".

Noone has claimed that geo-adjusted wages do make them a leader, nor that GL even is a leader. Only one commenter has made a claim: that is that geo-adjusted wages preclude leadership.

* Aside to explain my comment on weasel words: paying the same wage could be as easily interpreted "treating workers differently" given spending power is actually a product of wage / cost-of-living ratio; the value of money is geographically variable
Become upside down on those buys for the next decade? I never understood the popularity of this blanket pablum, other than to sound edgy in a noise of bad news. You don't buy everything that dips every time it dips. Some companies will not survive long enough to bounce back.

The article states that they increased rates by 0.5pp, not 0.5%, but probably not. Rule of thumb says that interest rates need to exceed the rate of inflation to see inflation come down.
