Imagine a bunch of game developers join forces to create something called the Game Asset Service. When you unlock a feature in a game by one of these developers, it gets delivered through the GAS.

The GAS is legally a separate entity from the game companies (although controlled by them), and it sets a varying fee for its delivery network. Maybe the fee is quite high, and unlocking a $6 game feature actually consists of $5.50 fees paid to the GAS and $0.50 paid to the game developer.

Would Apple say: “Sure, this delivery fee you’re paying to GAS is something completely separate from the in-app purchase. We’ll just take our cut only from the $0.50 and let you pass all of the $5.50 through to this GAS corporation that you partially own.”

Of course not, because that structure would be such a transparent attempt by the game developers to evade Apple’s fee.

The situation in crypto isn’t all that different. These gas fees are ultimately paid to Ethereum stakeholders, and Coinbase happens to be a big one.
Wouldn’t this be trivially solved by having namespaces follow the same PascalCase semantics as types?

I.e

use Std.String;

….
let string = String(…);
Now if they can just put a fucking headphone jack back in the iPhone, kthx. Batteries are getting denser, mainboards are getting smaller, phones are bigger than ever... but no room for a headphone jack! I guess they just want to sell more AirPods.

It emphatically does not matter to Apple if the transactions are peer to peer or subject to fees or paid for with doge coin. Coinbase offers an app that allows users to purchase digital goods ("NFTs"). In order to purchase those digital goods, iOS apps must use app store payments.

Solutions:

1. don't offer users the ability to buy those digital goods
2. add a layer of payment indirection where users pay coinbase and coinbase pays for the digital goods - using app store payments!
3??? execute a PR campaign that "apple doesn't understand crypto" amidst a historic crypto crash
Technically, it is only 75% less noisy.
Man, this takes a ton of room to do the CoreML conversions - ran out of space doing the unet conversion even though I started with 25GB free. Going on a delete spree to get it up to 50GB free before trying again.
People are against Epic because the CEO is obviously acting in bad faith and so shameless about it. He claims to be in favor of open platforms when it is beneficial to his bottom line, but refuses to do the bare minimum to support Linux. Obviously tech nerds aren't going to like that.
It's amazing how many people fail to recognize a ponzi scheme exchange right in front of their eyes, and then be surprised when it collapses.
That doesn't justify your argument. 50% is not a dominant position.

> If this refrigerator got an update that started showing you advertisements, you'd want the manufacturer to have some form of accountability that they don't further degrade the experience.

Me personally? I might just let it happen (especially if it goes hand-in-glove with some other benefit, like lower cost). Or if it's too annoying I'll switch refrigerators.

> Having multiple choices benefits everyone and forces the OEM to not make bone-headed moves

That's the business model of the alternatives to Apple. Apple's business model is value delivered through vertical integration. For their end-users, they're building a better product because they own and control the hardware, OS, and software ecosystem.

It's Nintendo-Seal-of-Approval thinking, and it's not inherently wrong so long as there are alternatives (and there are many, just none that have a supported path to using Apple's hardware).

> You're arguing that Apple shouldn't do good things because... Apple doesn't care?

I don't think Apple sees opening the bootloader as a good thing. It increases the ways the machine can be in a broken state with the only benefit to people tech-savvy enough to just use other hardware. And, of course, from a pure-business standpoint, it might kick a leg out from under the money-made-through-vertical-integration stool, which is of concern to them.

It's been several years since the 1923 hard cutoff lapsed—in the US, at least. The current cutoff is anything before 1927. One month from today, it will be anything before 1928.
I think it’s more an orbital dung beetle.
> You will find several high profile people arguing against this. Do note that every one has vested interest in the status quo, either directly or indirectly by having CAs and governmental agencies as their clients.

For example, Azure's Key Vault has built-in certificate issuance automation capability, but only with two for-profit CAs: DigiCert and GlobalSign.

Why not Let's Encrypt?

Because there's no margin on free.
Seems to have been finally fixed on MacOS Venture 13.0.

But 2 years of this bug was embarrassing.
> For obvious reasons, genetic material is very hard to get into a cell. The immune/digestive system fights it!

That's quite true, but it's true precisely because it's horrifically disruptive. (And the immune system has had more time to evolve protections against that disruption than it has for previously unheard of synthetic polymers.)

(Although to be clear, the new and exciting failure modes probably wouldn't involve the synthetic DNA actually getting inside of cells. (Sheer quantity might be sufficient to shove it's way through a phospholipid bilayer, but probably not.))
If that's what he was referring to, then agreed. There is no red telephone access to appeal broadly strategic decision-making, no matter who is the developer, sadly.
Yes I had it backwards. It’s the old “add soap to water to break the surface tension” kids science experiment: https://youtu.be/ho0o7H6dXSU
I’m not an AGI fanboy. I agree that the current line of inquiry (ie deep learning) won’t get us there. I think neurosymbolic reasoning is needed. That work is still nascent, and worse, we don’t have great ways to connect our current paradigm to it.
Did the apple employee who delisted coinbase wallet write this?
How would dishes dry then? Is there at least a fan providing air flow?
"It's not common in the United States."

If US folks are looking for this feature, it can be found on higher end Bosch dishwashers in the US.

I have very hard water and a Bosch benchmark series. The water softener makes a huge difference. I don't want a whole-house softener because I don't enjoy the feel of softened water in the shower.
I think any form of 1:1 tutoring meets this requirement?
If may 13 which would make more sense then there have been several android security patches since. Devices no longer supported are toast though
This is not what is happening here. It's worse. If you want to send a NFT to another address, you need gas to complete the transaction.

Coinbase does not get gas fees to complete the transaction. This isn't a swap. This isn't an exchange for ETH.

Absurd and I've downvoted you.
Why this is Chromium issue tracker?

Or is the same tracker used across all Google projects?
to me, the people at city hall are more clown-like, which would require some sort of clown exterminator.
I agree it would make them look better to reveal some truth about bots. Hell, even if it wasn’t true, they could even lie about it at this point, right? These are immoral deceitful business people acting purely out of self interest, according to the rolling stone.

But I maintain that It would be a critical error for a business owner to do anything that harms the potential value of the business. In this case revealing any “truth” about bot volume would do so because it would adjust the true $/user value the company has maintained for years.

Re: your question on motivations -

This is a business man. He can say whatever he wants, unless he donates the company to a non profit I must assume he has purchased it for extracting maximum value. Whether it be from a future IPO or a potential sale.

The very fact that they are trying to optimize burn and generate revenue should tell us they are dressing it up for a future exit.
There is a fascinating history of rats in New York City provided in the book, Rats: Observations on the History & Habitat of the City's Most Unwanted Inhabitants.

The author, Robert Sullivan, delivers the influence of rats and ratting on the American Revolution. It goes so far as to draw a connection between rats and the Boston Massacre, IIRC.

It made me look at rats in a new way, I highly recommend this book.
The trouble isn't the solution so much as the precipitate
Most jokes are not as funny as the people telling them seem to think.

An unfunny joke is a waste of space.

A comment that’s a waste of space is going to get downvoted.
Even in gaming modding is still somewhat niche.
> writing off real issues as pyschosomatic

Again though, why are you distinguishing between "real" and psychosomatic though? That is literally the opposite of my point. Psychosomatic issues are real issues.

We develop effective treatments for psychosomatic disorders all of the time - ADHD, ulcers, IBS, asthma (to some degree), RLS, etc.

I think it's equally important that we get rid of the stigma around "psychosomatic" as a diagnosis.
NFT's are no more a scam than any digital goods.
>I think both Red and Blue can agree they need to be reigned in and split up.

Well I'm not too sure about one of them.

What's an "hardware product"? Are you trying to make this sound cryptic on purpose?
No, physical goods are exempted.
Nice! Thanks for sharing this link!
I think they can move upmarket just as well as anyone else.
In the US a large portion of phones are via carrier contract and hardware locked. So no.
they've certainly become the very thing they've set out to disrupt
That’s not what rent seeking is. Apple has a very strong distribution channel, in part because of how trustworthy it is, that costs money to run, so it’s fair they take a cut of sales.
This is true and matters, but there is a key difference that affects our sense of justice and morality.

Coinbase didn't create Ethereum, and the vast majority of Ethereum stakeholders are not apps on the app store. The fact that ETH gas is mostly unrelated to Coinbase and the app store should also matter in determining how we feel about this.
Not sure I understand your point. This article is an attempt by Tether to stick a thumb in the eye of WSJ and CO because of their articles predicting Tether was going to be the company that pulled an FTX. It still might you never know.

Maybe you meant Vox?
Pretty comical that he’s being forced to pay child support to a billionaire. What’s the logic?
Surely this is true, but I still have the feeling that libraries in Rust tend to have more unsafe code than Java, Python, C# or others, maybe even more unsafe code than needed. Perhaps this is related to the problem domain.
You’re suggesting that coinbase launched NFT support on its app so it could make a pittance in gas fees?
> A air bed and breakfast where strangers stay in your home sounded ridiculous 10 years ago

No, couchsurfing (the site) had already proven the market for staying in other peoples homes and airbnb was similar but with payment.

> live stream's the life of a single person 24/7

IIRC justin.tv did not take in funding until they were already building a platform for others to livestream on. Their funding was not for just justins stream.
Agreed, I see the "lower barrier to entry" in this particular case as coming with potentially huge risks. IMO, statistics is vastly, vastly, vastly under-appreciated and under-estimated.
None of his business. It's an absolutely rude comment no matter what the reason is.
Isn't this ("forcing standards") the usual property of using CSS classes (responsibly)?
That's not an excuse for not integrating into a culture with the bare minimum amount of effort. It is not hard to learn a language with 10 years of immersion.
An other bit I first saw observed by Armin Ronacher and which is indeed quite common is that Rust does not require you to be defensive (and pay the price) around protected resources e.g. you can hand out references to rc’d types or mutex’d, and you know it’s safe, if a bit constraining.

And so you save the overhead of the extra refcounting or the re-entrant locks (though that would be unsound anyway), and you can safely use anything which works off of references.
I'll move it. Thanks for watching out for a fellow user!
Checking it out!
unless you have access to some spring, i don't see how drinking bottled water in plastic is better than not drinking tap
No because investments are not digital goods. Just because something is not physical does not mean it is digital. For example, a right to mine iron is not a physical thing, nor is it a digital thing; instead it is a legal thing.
I’ve used this a fair amount but am not sure it’s much better place to begin than automatic1111, especially for the HN crowd.
You can do anything you want.

SD2 wasn’t “neutered”, the piece of it from OpenAI that knew a lot of artist names but wasn’t reproduceable was replaced with a new one from Stability that doesn’t. You can fine-tune anything you want back in.
SEEKING WORK: Remote / Southern Alberta. Will consider travel and relocating for the right opportunity.

My name is Brendan. I'm an experienced GLP/GMP/GPP QA professional with a bit of a programming problem.

I help regulated pharma and cannabis facilities with quality, compliance, validation and in particular streamlining those processes.

I closed out a couple of successful multi-year projects this year and am now re-emerging into the market, trying to figure out what's next.

I have hands-on experience in a Cannabis/CBD extraction facility as well as pre-clinical Pharma. I'm a Health-Canada approved QAP with security clearance, and a Registered Quality Assurance Professional. I have managed large multinational drug development projects and small QA teams.

I can also program, and have built and delivered custom software and a few full stack web-facing projects. Preferred technologies these days are Elm & Haskell, but I spent a few years tied to the .Net ecosystem. So if you need someone to bridge the gap between your software engineers and the lab bench, production line or regulatory department, I'm your guy.

Wow, that's crazy.

It seems like it would be easier for AI to do, since it doesn't have any tells (it's easier to have a poker face when you don't have a face at all).

I remember playing poker as a kid, and experimenting with pretending like my cards were good/bad with body language. I don't think that any professional players use that approach (they just have sunglasses and a straight face), but I wonder if AI could beat humans even more consistently if it developed a way to convey tells and fake tells?
And you know nobody actually has their high-value signing key protected by a series of complex offline vaults and checks and balances like you'd see in Ocean's 11 - at best it's on the other side of a room on an air gapped computer.
As others have pointed out, CAs are 100% superflous to the existing DNS registrar and delegation system. All CAs do is verify that you "own" a DNS domain, which is precisely what DNS registration sets up in the first place.

Registrars should be Root CAs handing out subordinate CA certificates with every domain they issue, scoped to that DNS domain.

This will never happen, because companies like Verisign have billion-dollar vested interests in it not happening.

Technically it makes perfect sense, but the leeches collecting rent on the Internet don't want to let go.
This is why rinse aid is critical, you have to minimize the amount of water on the dishes. The extremely hot water tends to heat up the dishes enough so they retain enough heat to evaporate off the rest of the water. Plastic stuff like cups tends to stay pretty wet since they don't have the thermal capacity of metal or porcelain. A big advantage with this design, other than the energy savings, is that you don't have to worry about putting plastic stuff on the bottom rack, since there's no localized source of heat that can melt them.
I imagine this to be Kanye discovering he lives in an echo chamber and he can't win 2024, he talked to much shit against the Jews. I get the strategy, be uncancellable, like Trump. Except Kanye did get himself cancelled.

Why buy expensive PR when you're already done?
"Clean up the city" in this case means to change the behavior of 9 million people and every single visitor. It would be easier to train the rats operate the subway system.

Just about every city on the planet has rats.

> The Taiwan solution (garbage truck comes at the same time every day, stops briefly, you throw your rubbish in) seems to work well.

That requires

- not running trash collection overnight/early morning when people are sleeping

- guaranteeing that the truck arrives at a consistent and predictable time

- forcing people to be at home at a certain time to throw out their trash

All of those are absolutely non-starters in NYC.

Much better to use the solution that every other city in the developed world uses (putting trash in dumpsters)
EU antitrust differs from American antitrust, IIUC, because American is couched in harm to consumers while Europe is couched in harm to merchants.

So I can see how the EU might see a way towards saying "Your ownership of the vertical stack makes you a market-maker and market-caller on a very lucrative app market; you bear some responsibility to making that market fair and competitive." This is the same kind of thinking that caused France to crack down on Amazon offering discounts on books that undercut local booksellers because they could collapse the booksellers' guild (even though Amazon's shipping integration means they actually can afford to charge so little).

But in the US, the first hurdle such a case has to cross[1] is "Why doesn't the user and app maker just go to Android if Apple's so bad?" Which, indeed, is the question I'm asking myself here; Coinbase could just jump ship and offer their app only on Android, and then, hey, the Android ecosystem is slightly better than their competition.

[1] ... unless the law changes, of course, as you've observed. I can imagine something coming out of the John Deere tractor "right to repair" angle, though I haven't been following this space.
Ask HN: I want to crawl every plain HTML website. Where do I begin?
Web crawling in this day and age is loaded with caveats, and must be done carefully as to not put an unnecessary load on other people's infrastructure. I'd really like to try to make my own web search tool, so I'm trying to scope out something simple enough to get me started. Here's what I have so far.

- I don't want to parse anything in the SimilarWeb Top 50.

- I don't want to render JS

- I'd like to keep a web index that is still measured in TBs

I've done search engines for research papers in the past. The key difference was that I could collect that data very easily through a documented API. Now I need to either build or use a crawler and I'm not sure where to begin. Here are some thoughts that I have so far.

- I'm probably going to write the crawler in Go. It seems like a good fit for this sort of software.

- How do I start collecting lists of domains? Do I just start hitting public IPv4 addresses on Ports 80 and 443?

- If I run something like this with proper rate limiting on a server, would Cloudflare inevitably just start blocking me?

- If I were to run this from a machine connected to the Internet via a residential ISP, then would I get a nasty letter from my ISP?

Any advice or feedback is appreciated. The goal of this project is to learn more about web crawling moreso than to build a product that would be sold.
Even if another company did build it, it would have ended up in a Windows RT situation where no one would want to support it. In this case Apple can use its weight for good and actually get everyone else to support it resulting in a better situation for end users.
I hope Extism can help you make that happen!

Here’s an example of a Go app that calls Extism plugins in case it helps:

Right... because the more you lock the key down and try to secure it, the greater the risk something in your security will go wrong, and then you will lose it yourself. Losing the key is not as bad, though still catastrophic, from a corporate perspective. Imagine if Apple couldn't distribute a software update ever again. Much better to not invest in super-strong security that has that risk... but then you have an increased risk of theft...

It's almost like cryptographic signing keys are the modern day Ring of Power...
I expect keys to be per software vendor, because otherwise lineageOS, and pretty much all small device manufacturers would not be able to sign their android kernel (required for pretty much anything secure, like google pay or safetynet), and giving them a central key would be a significant security risk compared to say Samsung. That said the private key for the CA could be compromised and in that case everything not up to date is toast

If so, this has been around for 6 years.

EDIT: A number of listed APKs target API 22 (Android 5.1). This isn't definite, (and apps can be run on later phones), but this also implies some compromises occurred in ~2015.
Yep, back when I was into photography (which was well before the web existed) I would buy photography magazines mainly for the ads. Same with the Computer Shopper, it was almnost entirely ads and people paid for it.
We had a Bosch dishwasher with a built-in water softener when we lived in Lake in the Hills, IL, a suburb of Chicago. The municipal water there (from wells) was extremely hard and it made a big difference.

We now have a Bosch dishwasher in another house in NY state. The water is not hard (it's from one of the Finger Lakes), and the dishwasher does not have a softener, but we like the brand. After reading this story we looked up how to tweak the rinse aid dispenser and turned it down from "5" to "1".
