This is not good. I really enjoy the security of the walled garden that IOS is right now. Some say just don’t install a third party app store. My line of thinking is that takes the power away from the individual. Lets take for instance an app that everyone seems to want: TikTok. Right now they must abide by the app store rules and do security the way Apple requires and I want. This is the ONLY way they get onto the most popular mobile platform. Now with this decision from the EU they can stop offering it in the Apple app store and offer something less secure from a 3rd party app store. The user is now forced to make a security concession in order to use that app now. I no longer have a big bully (Apple) standing by my side forcing the issue. I’d say to Apple just stop selling to the EU. See how long it takes them to blink because they would.
But there is quite a difference between TL;DR and accusing people of wall of text/gish gallop.

TL;DR is is an admittance that somebody couldn't be bothered to read something long, that's fair enough because they admit it's their choice.

While accusing other people of wall of text/gish gallop is something very different; There the blame isn't put on the person who can't be bothered to read long text, and instead is wholesale put on the person that put in the effort to write the long text.

The consequence is that fewer people write long form text, fewer people put in a lot of work into writing such texts, so overall we end up with less of these texts, which is a loss for everybody as the online discourse continues to become even more shallow and anti-intellectual.

Too be honest this is actually my favourite thing about my Apple Card.

I get notifications for every transaction, notifications before the bill is due, and when you view a transaction it shows you the merchant name, location, a brand photo, Apple Maps link if applicable, and all other transactions you’ve made with that merchant.
Staticmaps is great! I've used it to generate a map of our area pointing out where the BBQ area is for guests, I've used it to generate maps of bike rides and hikes I go on, it's really fun. Definitely needs a bit of light GIS knowledge but nothing someone with decent Python skills and a free-ish weekend can't pick up.
Maybe I'm naïve, but The type of person that does this seems like the type of person that would do this regularly. That is to say: files a large number of chargebacks, with similar reasons, likely facing merchant disputes with evidence.

It really seems like there should be some heuristics applied to the consumer: if some significant percent of transactions (either number or dollar amount) are charge-backs, something is probably wrong that warrants closer investigation.

Someone filing one chargeback per every thousand or more transactions is not trying to scam anyone. Someone who charges-back 50% or more of the transactions they make at online clothing merchants, on the other hand, definitely is.

I wonder if there's just no incentive for the card issuers to do this?
The GDPR makes processing of PII illegal by default and then adds clearly defined exceptions. The problem are IMHO not the exceptions but the enforcement problem that persists.

I see a huge risk in centralising DNS records resolvers. Being able to set a default DoH resolver for all your devices is adding another layer of tracking after centralised WiFi location resolvers. Like browser choices, resolver choices need to be displayed to the user at setup. We need a competition on trust rather than on convenience.
Do you have an android or web version?
Just wait till Facebook forces you to download their app from the alternative app store with all their tracking crap up to 11
A party applies for summary judgment to be entered when, speaking in very general terms, the other side's case is not reasonably arguable. That is, no reasonable jury/judge could find for the other party.

It doesn't have anything to do with morals, it's a procedural process that avoids the need for an expensive trial to defend a hopeless claim.

Of course, a party might lose a summary judgement application but ultimately win at trial.
For non lawyers: a request for summary judgment is something any lawyer will do, possibly multiple times in a case. And the vast majority of the time, they’re denied. It does not mean that their case is a slam dunk or anything; just that they want the judge to prematurely end the matter in their favor.

It’s almost a useless motion, but because it has worked sometimes, your lawyer would be stupid to not try it.

In other words, an article saying that a party requested summary judgment doesn’t really mean anything. I’m almost certain the other party filed one as well.

While I agree that harsh restrictions on reproductive healthcare are very bad policy in part for the reasons you mention, pointing this out doesn't seem like a very effective counter-argument to the idea that things are better today than in the past. Prior to the Roe v. Wade decision, which came just 60 years ago, abortion was illegal in all circumstances in all states. Cancer survival rates have significantly increased thanks to advances in medical treatment.

There are certainly issues currently, and the state laws against abortion are part of that, but I think the 21st century is overall better than past time periods.
Its much better than in the past, really in a night-and-day way. At least thats been my experience after bouncing in-and-out over 5-6 years and finally sticking with it about 2 years ago.

I wish that instead of focusing on this API view of git that everyone seems to have run with that something akin to a plan9/fuse file server was the main interface everyone learned. I would imagine it would work like a souped up version of RepoFS:

https://github.com/AUEB-BALab/RepoFS

There is a paper to go along with the package which showed some convincing examples that much of the git tooling could just go away in favor of already existing shell commands: e.g. no need for `git grep` when `grep` will do the job.

They do not have a contract with the publishers. Their normal CDL policy (one digital copy loaned out per physical book in the archive) is legal under fair use. The publishers also have a motion for summary judgement, which would prevent them from doing this.

The publishers would rather rent them a digital copy for a lot of money, that is either time-limited or has a cap on the total number of times it can be checked out before the Archive would have to pay again.
I was responding to the article's incorrect statement that the money stayed in your neighborhood, which is not correct in my case. I say "my case", but it's the case for everyone who lives in my county, the 12th most populous in the nation. Probably true for others as well.

I never said 1 cent payment. I didn't know diddly squat about what your domain was or any specifics. You just said that that was a good case of 'bad monitoring is OK'. It's not. Maybe your hands are tied, I'll give you that. It won't make it good though.

Also I said 'this space intentionally left blank'. Whatever actual form that would take in your example. Just because multiple entities use the same interface does not mean a bad interface is suddenly a good interface.

To take an analogy and stay in payments (not sure what your specifics are). If your live system for CC processing OKs a payment from 4111 1111 1111 1111 you're toast. Your system better only 'process' that in a test environment. Perfect for a dummy row that gets ignored but ensures your monitoring does not trigger.

And yes, been there, done that too with these file based interfaces.

(it's funny how some systems that don't actually process your payment right away actually let you book with a known dummy CC - in Prod. Technically OK because you'll pay for real later - think hotel. Still funny)

The greater good that both serve is the availability of creative works. Copyright serves it by rewarding authors of new creative works. Piracy serves it by increasing availability of existing creative works.
The problem is in most cases by the time you're talking about involving a lawyer, most consumers have given up the fight. A majority of the fraud cases I've had requiring charge backs have been in the 20-50 dollar range, so not nearly enough to justify legal assistance.

By putting the onus on the legal system it allows merchants to commit smaller scale fraud more easily because normal people don't have lawyers on hand and aren't willing to do so for a $30 case of fraud, as justified as it may be.
Ticket vendors usually have crappy terms of service. Why did you agree to it?

As the previous comment said, this belongs in small claims court, not chargebacks.

We use it for OCaml because there’s nothing in OCaml that really exist to manage dependencies and build (opam and dune are awful). But it doesn’t work well with our Rust dependency. I think it could work well with our Rust dependencies (which needs to be packaged with a derivation and thus doesn’t work in a nix develop shell) if nix stops where Cargo begins, but it seems like it is not nix’s philosophy.
The general consensus I’ve read on HN is that the IA is pretty clearly guilty. But they’re the ones seeking the summary judgment in their own favour. Hence I respect their position, for taking a moral stance despite not having much of a legal leg to stand on.
I wonder how much changing the field size of the description would cost and what most banks would estimate the timeline would be?
Well, tell employers not to screw people over and we wouldn't have to have the laws.

We hear the same line of BS about environmental laws, that they make things less efficient, yet the places that have them are objectively better.
"We can't tax landlords, they'll make the tenants pay for it" is not how markets work. Pricing is held down by ability to pay, because - as far as landlords are concerned - getting paid some money is better than getting none.

Longer term, the impact on rental costs depends on whether you think this policy would increase the amount of housing available for people to live in.

Where I live, many properties are bought and kept empty - the rental income isn't worth the hassle and they are being held for capital gains. High property taxes would presumably result in some of those properties being sold to occupiers.

Consider an extreme case - a land value tax of 20% (meaning you pay the government the full value of the unimproved land every 5 years). Land values would plummet, right? Lets say it were introduced over 30 years, so prices could adjust smoothly instead of crashing. What does the steady state look like after 30 years?

What you are running into is that every supposed feature of Discord and Slack is actually a fatal bug. There is no replacement for IRC.

Communication took a massive hit when we went remote and it gets worse every day. Who is doing this well and by what means? Which companies are doing it well?

Didn’t cable have a similar business model. Charge + Ads. They’ve probably modelled out the amount they would $ gain vs customer loss from adding ads.
Because it's either that or never get to see cool things? This doesn't justify ripping off individuals who made the purchase in good faith.
Biggest knock against modern communication platforms (Discord Slack et al): they are not a part of the Web.
What if grandma lives in a city where there's no jobs for me? Asking people to move in with their relatives is not the answer; the answer is very simple: build more housing. Eliminate zoning rules and start replacing older buildings with new, larger and taller buildings.
Some copying is covered by fair use. Making a whole copy of a book, especially in a way that might limit the copyright owner's profits, usually doesn't count.

I imagine they'd like to do that, but they wouldn't like users to use the website instead, and they really wouldn't like users to use Facebook less.
That's a simplification, I think. Many animals have good nightsight, meaning they see in infrared. That's probably also why they avoid approaching fires - those are too bright for them.
And think about on demand ML, where a stock photo on a website might change based on characteristics it knows of you.

Let's say a website knows you love chocolate cake, well the website is now going to show you a chocolate cake instead and has generated a unique image of that for you.

It's a temporal question. If you decide in the middle of a competition that you don't care any more and want to quit/forfeit/throw the match, then you broke. You committed to playing an event, presumably because you thought you could win or at least compete, and instead your mental stamina broke and you gave up.

IMO, it's less the intent that you have when you quit - the intent is almost always at that point that you don't want to be there any more doing the thing. The more important part is the intent that led up to the moment where you quit.

In some ways, it's similar to quitting any job. If you just have a bad day or week at work and put in your resignation with no other plan because you just can't stand coming in to work again, you "broke". If you're still working, but interviewing elsewhere, get another job, put in your notice and walk away with something else lined up, it's a bit different.
Can you share a few, please? I am already out of credits on Midjourney and I don't even feel like I got the hang of it until I was almost out.
For that reason I would not call them a leader in the space; however, if we only consider the day-to-day of remote work, everything from meetings, to your schedule to meeting co-workers IRL, in that part of the space I believe they are currently leading. As a new manager of an all-remote team, I find myself going to Gitlab quite a bit for guidance and their advice on a matter. It's to the point where I think Gitlab, if they really wanted to, could turn that whole day-to-day operational knowledge base into a pretty solid product.

Actually, sometimes you are able to. ILL in academic libraries or special collections/archives sometimes requires doing so (e.g. because the original material is bundled in a giant 10 year journal binding). That said, legal agreements between research libraries and academic publishers are basically opaque dark magic.
> Marginally shorter cycles before property becomes more useful in exchange for completely fucking over the elderly, marginalized groups, and those without free capital.

As others point out, most LVT schemes have significantly improved treatment for owner-occupied housing.

The big idea here: land value is something that is established publicly and collectively rather than by any individual owner. It makes sense to tax use of this public good to reduce deadweight losses .... instead of primarily taxing improvements which disincents investment and increasing DWL.

A land value tax can be expected to reduce the cost of housing. That is, it incentivizes more effective land uses-- as opposed to property taxes that include improvements, which reduce the incentive to build higher densities.
I agree 100%. While I personally would love all these features as a tinkerer, I'm afraid my retiree parents are gonna click on malicious links and install malware. Because this is what they fall for on Windows and Android.

Then the solution will be to use anti viruses and other software, which will make the ecosystem even more exploitative (imagine the likes of Norton and Avast on your phone).

I believe the best solution is giving the user a choice of the OS. Like go to a store, select phone hardware, select OS and pay. Once you're on an OS you play by the OS' rules. Like for android you could choose vanilla, Samsung distro, Mi distro, etc. Similarly iOS could be available on Pixel hardware, etc.

Very interesting stuff. What I think I find mind blowing is that this is just the tip of the iceberg. This is only treating the eye as if it was a standalone imaging sensor. I wish there was a way that we could understand how other humans and animals actually view and perceive the world in an embodied way. I would imagine that each one of these animals processes their visual information in unique ways, perhaps more unique than their eyes.
No, but, the point is there are never alerts that aren’t alerts.

This is arguably worse, since it’s otherwise a very important alert so anyone that sees it will freak out. Since it happens only 2 times a year, anyone seeing the alert for the first time (depending on churn, this may happen quite often) is going to think it’s really important.

Hopefully you don’t regularly get these alerts because something actually went wrong (say once a year), but that means 66% of all alerts you get are false alarm.
> Example: Each unit is paying $200 a month in HOA fees. $100-$150 covers the normal stuff - garbage, electricy, etc. A little bit gets saved each month.

$200 would be great. I pay just under $700 a month, and it does not cover electricity or water/sewage.

In addition to that, the HOA levies special assessments for things like roof replacement (~$5.5k/unit 2 years ago) and is getting ready to sell off some property in order to cover another $2 million repair cost ($20k per unit, in a 100 unit community full of mostly retirees).

In our yearly budget, they do set aside money to cover this stuff, they just regularly and dramatically undershoot their estimates.

> It is all kind of a mess, and IMO a good reason to avoid condos.

Here, here.
IA is not disregarding copyright, nor the publishers.. instead IA is changing the rules.. rules in which money does pay a role. A simple lens of conservative -> we want the rules to operate as they have, and liberal -> we want to change the rules .. might apply here.

Casting aspersions with the land-mine word "piracy" does not increase the intellectual level of the discussion, nor is it even accurate here IMO.

It appears people have strong opinions. Possibly those who do not even ride ebikes?

I got modded down for talking about the modchip option below to remove the speed limiter. Quite funny on a site called "hacker" news.

Regardless, the speed limiter on some bikes to make riding "safer" is not carefully considered.
The default 25 km/h speed limiter can be unsafe which is why I disabled mine. Imagine trying to adjust your speed to get away/around traffic and having the engine slow down for you instead. It can be very dangerous at the wrong time.

these laws are introduced by people who do not ride these bikes.
I hate that as well, but from the point of view of the employer it makes sense no? They are supposed to pay as little as they can afford, and location impacts that.
I think there are higher order effects at play.

For example low property taxes encourages NIMBYism which results in lower density zoning which reduces new supply.

If high property taxes reduce NIMBYism by making homeowners feel the housing crisis themselves, that alone could ultimately increase affordability.
Huh, seeing their full argument written out makes the temporary CDL policy make a lot more sense.

They were already contracting with other libraries to increase the amount of out-of-circulation copies they could lend, and with 90,000 libraries closed they assumed removing any restrictions would still keep them well under the amount of out-of-circulation copies available.

And they were likely right, if "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" only had 888 lends at most a few books would reach anywhere near the total out-of-circulation copies. It makes the publishers argument look less like "we were robbed" and more like "we should have made even more cash off the pandemic."
