You are disrespecting the choice of iPhone owners, who want freedom of choice on a product they paid for. That's what jailbreaking was/is all about and the various App Store alternatives. It also shows a lack of understanding on the EU's position in regards to fair business practices, where Apple snuffs out any competition. Apple is not suppressing competition out of the kindness of their hearts, they did so to maximize profits off of their captive user base.

If you want to follow Apple's future suggested practices, then you will still be able to, it just won't be forcibly imposed on all users.
Sidenote... you're almost certainly under-insured, especially if you're in California. If a fire sweeps through, you won't be able to rebuild much with $225k. Might want to check that out.
Uber drivers don't make anywhere near $1-$2 per mile. More like $0.50-$1 according to some Googling ($1 seems reasonable from conversations with friends who drive for them, here in Austin).

30 cents per mile costs is also extremely low, at least on average.
Lots of people just care about getting stuff done, amd don’t care about these kinds of arguments. So if having to click yes on a pop up to get the fb/adobe store is what they need to do, to do what they want, they’ll just do it.

We’ll basically lose a whole stack of the guarantees about data, app operation that Apple was able to enforce on hostile, belligerent companies like fb because of their position.
I didn't know about this. Thanks for the tip!
> The cold war has already gone hot thanks to "Fuck the EU" US interference in Ukraine [0] by now having escalated into a full blown open war, just like there is no "LNG pipeline from the US" to Europe.

The Cold War got hot cause of Russia, no one else. Russia is the one who decided to invade Ukraine, Russia is the one who decides to bomb children, Russia is the one who decides to commit genocide against the Ukrainians, Russia is solely responsible for this war.

No amount of “Ukrainian bio weapons” or “Ukrainian witch battalions” or “Ukrainian inhuman super soldiers” stories pushed by the kremlin will change this fact.
Fixed incomes while complaining that their land is going up in value which lead to high property taxes? That kind of thing?
That's certainly a take.
I don’t get it. If there’s a shortage of EEs, which are required for tech to operate, wouldn’t salaries rise up because of the demand? I mean, tech isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.. is it?
Companies needing to be compelled by law to treat users as adults is also frustrating.

Frustrations everywhere, I guess we should just not do anything about it and go back to the stone age? Someone else in this thread was suggesting that.
As a customer who has had to go through the chargeback process (against a well known furniture company), the company provided what they felt was “proof” of the charge being valid.

Fortunately, I had counter-proof that the proof they supplied was invalid. I won the dispute in the end.

Under this new policy, it seems my chargeback would have been denied without coming back to comment … am I reading this correctly? If so, then this is one major reason now for me not to use Visa in future.
I bought a ticket for an event in January 2020 for April 2020...as you can guess, the event was delayed. It ended up being delayed for over two years. The merchant refused to refund the charge, and a chargeback was my only recourse. Was that first party fraud? I really don't think so, I bought something that wasn't delivered, seems pretty simple to me.
And with this single change Visa just ensured that no one other than Apple and Google has a chance of making a significant dent App Store fees.
Sounds good. Does it support real time filming with LED walls and volumes? If so I'm very interested to dig into this when I'm back at my desk.
You should never sell land because ground rent doesn't disappear, land is a monopoly.
NASA Climate Spiral [video]
The overall match can be interesting, while still having some periods of lower intensity. The guests are typically celebrities which also has some relation to chess, for example a famous actress being an avid amateur chess player as well.

The guests will typically join in on the discussion of the positions, and as such often serves as a proxy for the viewers by asking questions like "but why doesn't he just do X now" and similar.

It doesn't always work but overall I think it's been a positive addition to their broadcasts.
These are excellent advises. As a UI/UX developer I have way to often had to fight against a project manager who want a fancy—but ultimately useless—feature (point 2). I have also wrongly fought against a graphic designer because I failed to admit my own shortcomings, wasting everyone's time in the process (point 4).

I would like to add one point though. That it is important to use your own product. The worst UI is a buggy and slow UI. The set of potential bugs is way larger then what you can test for. If you use your own product you are way more likely to spot them, as well as experience first hand where slow response (or slow workflow for that matter [point 2]) is causing users pain.

Another one you should know is sometimes your users are wrong. You should still listen to them, but don’t implement blindly what they are asking for. If a user asks for a feature, ask your self: “Why do they want this feature, what is the problem this feature will solve? And can this problem be solved differently?”

All homeowners are real estate speculators.

Wouldn't you also consider anyone buying a "starter home" a speculator? Their goal is to continuously flip their house.
Yes, I understand this. My point is that I talk to my bank only, VISA is not in the picture at all.

I do not care about their (VISA) internal regulations or decisions, I am a customer of a bank and the bank has obligations towards me, by law.
I've played Simon Tatham's Puzzle Collection on so many devices. I even included it in a keychain Debian variant: https://www.neilvandyke.org/lildeb/

A large "Net", with wrapping, is probably my most often go-to game on smartphone, when waiting somewhere, for transit or an appointment. Sometimes I think about the rules and heuristics I'm using, and how they might be generalized, or more might be learned. Other times, I'm just enjoying how they let me make progress.
Insults are perfectly acceptable here so long as they're directed at people espousing locally unpopular opinions and dressed up with enough filler wordage to have a modicum of plausible deniability.
That sucks, movie nowadays are getting pretty bad.
You have so far failed to point to any metric such explains the inflation, which is what you claimed linking to those metrics did.

So apparently taking about personal income was just happenstance, since you pretty obviously were trying to say "it's rising wages that are doing it" and then have been backpedaling everytime I press you to explain why.

So we face successfully established there's inflation, and you've made no argument as to why we should think it's fiscal policy related rather than supply chain - you know, that big thing which has been stressed and suffering shortages repeatedly the last 2.5 years.

For me it was approaching the DAW as a digital tape machine that worked for my flow. I run Ableton, but only record audio in from my looper and instruments. And just use the middle edition thats $300ish

I still haven't embraced the bottomless pit of software instruments, but do use a few nice plug in FX.

A lot of my ideas come up from looping, and the DAW is basically just “rolling tape” to capture that jam in a linear way. Maybe with some adjustments afterwards

> Build your own keyboard

This is something I've been interested in lately as well & came across this video:

It's targeting a split keyboard, but I think it details the general steps involved pretty well.
So what you're saying is that the vendors will now strive to make it harder to "prove you tried to cancel", just like they're already striving to make it harder to cancel.
Harvey Weinstein, if this is a joke it isn't funny. If we're talking about risking lives you can't beat Werner Herzog who worked with that lunatic Klaus Kinski that would shoot at tents with people in, and that was was probably the least crazy thing that dude were doing on set.
I will disagree on Figma. It's taken a huge chunk of workflows at some extremely old school businesses. Amidst a sea of shitcorps it is the real deal.
San Francisco (all of CA) has very low property taxes compared to non-CA cities. Because of Prop 13, property taxes are limited to 1% of the purchase price of the home (appraised values can change a max of 2%/yr).

As a result, my neighbor has a house with an effective tax rate of <0.1% ($3,000/yr on a single family house worth >$3M).
> I hope US lawmakers retaliate appropriately.

The US has already won (and indeed was always winning) in terms of tech companies. There's nothing to retaliate against!
Not in all cases. I live in a Resource Conservation area where no lot less than 10 acres in size can be subdivided per zoning laws. The zoning is set as it is to preserve watersheds, wildlife, etc. There are limits (by ratio to land area) that dictate structure density, amount of impervious substrate that can exist within the perimeter of my property, etc. Just because I own over 10 acres doesn't mean I can sell my property to a developer so that they can build four high rise apartment buildings and turn a rural area into a burgeoning metropolitan hub (while destroying a large swath of forest in the process).

We pay high property taxes (which are split value taxes, by the way) relative to other rural areas in the region. That is, we are taxed for the virtue of owning relatively large plots of land (for our area) that come with the protections afforded by the zoning laws--even though our sparsely-developed properties and the characteristics thereof provide benefit to all in our area, including city dwellers (e.g. readily available and clean drinking water, maintaining a healthy ecosystem), for which a value could be assessed that would result in lowering our taxes.

That said, I purchased the property specifically for the Resource Conservation zoning protections, as did my neighbors--and we'd have the zoning laws set no other way regardless of the cost of doing so.

Trying to jam more people into the same finite amount of space is not a sustainable solution (here's looking at you, Bay Area). A byproduct of the recent pandemic was that a significant number of people beta tested relying on technology to get their job done independent of where they were physically located. I would argue it generally worked quite well (though not in all cases).

Though a more ambitious plan than merely increasing taxes and hoping that more housing is developed, why not incentivize people to move to less populated area with the intent of promoting a more-even distribution of population density over time; incentivize medium and large businesses to either permit remote work or establish and maintain local/regional offices if remote work is not conducive to their lines of business or their corporate culture; and fund timely development of new and improvement of existing infrastructure that would make previous two goals achievable?

A lot of companies like McDonalds are just real estate companies in disguise, an LVT would wipe out the stock market.
If those obligations are by law in your jurisdiction, than you are probably covered. In jurisdictions where that is not the case, the bank is bound by Visa's policies if they want to issue Visa logoed cards. That's why this is such a far-reaching and problematic development.
Globally it is. I am a customer of a bank and VISA is not say all in the picture (from my perspective) when I have a claim.

How the bank deals with that vs VISA is not my problem, not are any VISA regulations, fees, whatever.
Removing yourself from the problem environment remains important. IME, in relationships, there can be different levels of this, all of which are important. E.g., as a parent:

- Breaking out of the regular environment with the whole family (e.g., family vacations or “staycations”)

- Breaking out of the regular environment as a couple (date nights, etc.)

- Breaking out of the regular environment individually.

“Engagement with the external social environment/self-care balance” is important, even in contexts where the more catchy name “work/life balance” isn't the right description.

While unwinding, destressing, etc. is a big part of the value of breaks, part of it is getting so e time/distance to reflect/assess and diagnose things that aren't working, individually and collectively, and collaborate on fixes.
It absolutely does, albeit on a more basic level. Because the target audience is people without that hardware, more focus was put into Green-screen style compositing.

That being said, you can add "In-Camera VFX" rigs to your scene and that should get you started with a single display.

You can take a look at the demo video here. The functionality has since been made available.

Whether or not it's a Ponzi depends on whether there's any path to get normal profitable businesses to buy the software.
> The other possibility is it will make it impossible to buy an iPhone in Europe.

On a practical level, it might not be all that easy to stop that entirely. Sure, Apple could stop selling iPhones in the EU (and would probably close their stores altogether). But a gray (black? In this case I'm not entirely certain) market would almost certainly appear. iPhones in the EU might acquire the cachet of Cuban Cigars in the US.

Assuming you have read the whole article from the start to the very end, you should have no problem at finding that figure.

Just in case you likely haven't finished reading it, I will give you a hint before you start: Try looking at the 'references' at the bottom. ;)

It's not that hard if you have read it in its entirety rather than directly replying to my comment. :)
He said the same thing way before the candidates.
You can't make smarter decisions downstream, you can only distribute the burden of the monopoly away from your interest group.
That's pretty unfortunate for the end user who is then forced to choose between having all notifications or not at all.
I watched that. We didn't have a TV, but my grandparents did. But it was only black and white, so we went to some friends of my parents so we could watch it in color. I was seven.

I understand it's going to hard but not impossible. Assessors can work together at the state level and identify owners with multiple properties and send them the extra tax bill or a way to dispute it. They have enough information about what we own and where we live.
DallE2 + Topaz Gigapixel AI works amazingly well.
This is just garbage. The demand for stimulus was in reaction to the increase in most expenses due to supply chain shortages induced by COVID and lockdowns, and the continuing hike in prices has been due to the follow up war. The record profits - not revenue but profits - the big companies have posted over this time period prove it.

Inflation is measured via a basket of goods measure, and corporations have freely taken all those basics and gone "welp must be circumstance" while posting those profits.

Prices surged before any stimulus was handed out.
Cool, I'll check it out. There's a huge opportunity in virtual Production for software to automate a lot of the janky methodology we're using right now to put all the pieces together.

You'd like my startup, Reclaim.ai. It literally reschedules the future (tasks, habits, 1:1s, etc) partly based on what is in the past.

For example, have some time blocked to do something but then got distracted? No problem: just delete it from the calendar and we'll reschedule it :)
I use paperless-ng hosted on a small VM on DigitalOcean (with automatic backups). I pay about $8/month.

- For physical documents: scan and upload manually.

- For email attachments I connected paperless-ng to my gmail account such that any email labelled with a special label gets its attachments synced automatically.

In paperless-ng I use tags for any topic I want to search by. Those can be specific or generic, no hard and fast rule here. One major feature I use is views: I create different views for frequently accessed topics, e.g. "House", "Taxes", "Health", "Year: 2022", "Year: 2021", etc.
This was true, but UK stamp duty was reformed in 2014 to use marginal bands like income tax.
I am a consumer protection attorney who does work advocating for individuals with credit card and debit card disputes.

I’m pretty opposed to this change, even though it’s veiled in terms of fairness. The fact is, the banks and Visa are far too quick to deny disputes.

This reeks of all of the times that an industry foists some type of “protection“ on consumers to address some alleged abuse of the system.

For example, you used to be able to discharge student loans in bankruptcy. Then the industry made up a BS narrative that people were taking out tons of loans, getting their degrees, and then filing for bankruptcy em masse. It was a lie. The number of people who are filing for bankruptcy and getting student loans discharged was infinitesimally small. But that didn’t stop them from lobbying Congress for modifications that prohibit the discharge of student loans in bankruptcy. And, well, you know how the rest goes.

My point is, the alleged abuse is almost certainly a very small, or even, non-issue. But these changes will have dramatic, negative repercussions on a large swath of customers.
I’m not really following what you’re saying here. Should BTC be more expensive because of the relative CO2 impact?
I mean I guess it depends on what it does, if it’s like a sequencer that’s fine. If it’s a live recording, live performance with synth plugins and filters and such yeah… I’m highly skeptical.
All -- it’s a good idea for your card(s) to be “stolen”, maybe once every year or two. And yes, it is definitely “stolen”, and not lost. Reps will definitely ask this. If it is lost (which it isn’t), the “thieves” may be able to continue to charge your card number.

This is a cleansing process.
All truth is incomplete.
All wisdom is paradoxical.

The lawsuit is about a contract though. I don't see where the interests of the shareholders come in to any actual courtroom arguments. There's nothing in the contract about "oh Musk must do blah blah unless it's not in the interests of the shareholders".
This likely depends heavily on the terms & conditions of the ticket issuer at the time of purchase.

It's not obvious to me that your credit card processor should be forced into dispute resolution in lieu of small claims courts... but if they are being asked to serve that function, then it's reasonable to request evidence from the merchant before rendering a decision based on your accusation.
The elephant in the room is the amount of housing supply being held by banks and private equity in an effort to shore up housing prices. They can afford high property taxes. Your elderly parents might not be able to.

Obama should have let the bankers twist in the wind when the citizenry was out for blood in 2008. They repaid him by channeling money to Republicans. Put them all in jail.
Google is an ad revenue company haha.

It's got the EXACT same incentive as FB to track you.
This feels a little click bait-ish. The problem wasn't covering his bills or writing. The problem was as he got more successful, he didn't optimized for just writing, he optimized for a lifestyle. And when the income didn't sustain that new lifestyle (bigger city, fine dinners, etc etc), he created another "distraction" away from his original goal to cover that. Wants create needs.
You'd be surprised. I worked at a place that forked a couple of those tools and used the "in-house" versions since they did not match the desired code style.

> This has led to is a glut of high quality housing at very low prices. The amount of money one needs to save up for a downpayment in Chicago on a 2BR in the city center is 5x lower than in San Francisco or New York.

That is because it is Chicago and not SF. Not because of taxes.
There might be some apps and hardware that are desirable on the iPhone and some apps that are desirable on an android phone.

For example, I might want to use iMessage without any of the restrictions that you get on other non apple devices. This is huge, my friends all have iPhones and use iMessage. I don't want a neutered experience. What happens to family that rely on these tools, mom's that are looking into buying their child's first phone? This is how people become trapped in these ecosystems.

The camera on iPhones is really good, apps like Snapchat or Instagram have always functioned way better on iPhone than on android.

There are many reasons why someone would want to use a lot of apps developed for the iPhone. But they might also have extra needs. Personally, I do have an android phone, and besides the apps that I've installed through the playstore I have lots of alternative apps from the f droid. They're great. I have wanted to try the iPhone because I know my mainstream apps would work better in the iPhone. But alas, there are too many restrictions.

Why would having more choice be a bad thing?
So replacing a 100k employee by a 10k cloud service would increase a companys co2 balance?
Seems counterintuitive, no?
Anything can be posted to HN. Labor unionizing and how this might interact with automation-based job losses is absolutely a valid interesting topic.
> The GDPR outcome was largely good though.

The issue with GDPR-style regulations with huge penalties is that it makes it harder for new entrants to the market to operate without fear of violating the law by accident. Big tech has no such fear due to huge legal departments.

Maybe the outcome overall is still good, but let's remember that Facebook (and Mark Zuckerberg personaly) was/is at the forefront of demanding heavy regulations for social media [1] because they knew only they (and maybe one or two established competitors) could operate safely and actually make sure they comply with the law [2]. More regulation just entrenches the big incumbents.

Interestingly, the big difference between forum software and forum aggregators like Reddit is the fact that the latter has single sign on for all sub-forums. The advantage is adoption is fast. The disadvantage is that the aggregator has to perform quality control on users and the disadvantage for the users is that they are subject to aggregator rules.
Most of the old school forums load more posts per page, usually let you configure them to load even more per page, allowed easier jumping between arbitrary pages, and sometimes gave an "all posts" view.

But the biggest thing is that it runs against expectations and muscle memory without much of a good reason… it's one of those little papercut things that aren't big on their own but stack up to make computing more frustrating than it should be.
