One area not discussed often enough with the App Store for subscription apps is the percentage of people that have a billing issue and end up churning because of it. This can be anywhere from 8-20% depending on your app. Because purchases are anonymous on the App Store, you have little ability as an app owner to ping your customer and say "Hey, your credit card failed, click here to update it".

Supposedly Apple will be making some moves to rectify this in iOS17 but handling subscriptions yourself makes this pretty easy...
Most people have heard of Siri though that was named after SRI!
I think a lot about how I have a lot of fondness and smell memory attached to what are probably carcinogenic vapors. A nostalgic part of me is sad that we are losing the cultural artifact that is the smell of gasoline. We had a 5hp go-kart when I was a kid, and my parents always used gasoline powered lawn mowers and leaf blowers. But obviously in other ways I am very happy we are moving past it.
I got the Ti-99/4A as a bday gift in '83.Then within a few months Texas Instruments discontinued it. I still have it in a box somewhere. Been kicking around some ideas. Maybe remove the mainboard and put in a RaspberryPi 4 or some other SBC. Then wire it up to the keyboard. Someone was selling a board on tindie that made it possible to connect the keyboard ribbon cable to USB. But sadly its no longer being sold.

One way around the awkwardness with "Islamic world" is to use "Near East", which is used to cover the core geographic area in pre-modern times.

If they turned off the "share my location" feature a less informed person might even believe that Snapchat wasn't collecting their location, because why would they if they're not sharing it?
Ah ok. Its confusing because one of the requirements for time based one time password 2fa is that if you use the same 2fa token twice,it is still supposed to reject the second one even if it is in the same time window.

On the server side usually a "key" is stored, which for TOTP based 2fa would allow the attacker to create future 2fa tokens if they got ahold of the key. So what really saves you is the website choses the key not the user, meaning every website has a different one. Not the temporal nature.

Anyways, usual term for what you are referring to with reusing passwords is "credential stuffing".

Your regime has raped and keeps locked up the "fabric of Iranian society". Shah was no saint but he did not evoke perception of -evil-, which your regime fully evokes.

A taste of your evil minds is the ludicrous notion that a woman choosing to not wear a piece cloth clutched between her teeth like a bit make Iranian society "naked".

And you also you have your history wrong. It was Reza Shah* that "forced" the removal of chadors. The Shah in question here made it a personal choice. The rights mentioned were the right to work, and rights relating to marriage and children.

* some background on the history here. Reza Shah famously walked into a mosque and whipped the men [read mullahs] who had insulted his wife who had visited earlier. This 'right to insult and harrass women in public' is a "right" these men take quite seriously. They never forgave him for this offence and subsequently when they seized power, they chose a "civilized and godly" expression of their displeasure by dessecrating the remains of a dead man. And then they built a toilet over it. This is the retarded gang that currently occupies Iran. As I said, a historic blight on our nation.
> Humans are extremely K-selected, ie it is optimal for us to spend a lot of resources on a small number of offspring

human couples had children like clockwork year after year, but at least half of them died in childhood, with many mothers dying in childbirth, and with nursing motherhood as the only contraceptive. I don't think anybody was holding back as much as they were held back. And this continued up to the baby boom in the 20th century. Time to edit your myth.

https://sciforschenonline.org/journals/environmental-toxicol...
I have an electric blower/vacuum/shredder, which I bought because previously raking could take hours and then having to bag up a dozen or more bags of leaves.

Blowing them into a pile then vacuuming and shredding seemed easier for one year. But I barely even used it last year.

Instead I just mowed/trimmed all the leaves to shreds and that was even easier. No raking, no bagging, no blowing necessary.

Oof. Lesson here is: GPU compute is not cheap, especially at 4k-per-eye. Even with Apple Silicon and TSMC, you're not going to outrun the basic laws of putting a screen on someone's face.
It’s also about lifetime. Internal combustion engines, with a bit of inexpensive maintenance, can be used for many decades.

Pleanty of trees, equals pleanty of leaves everywhere.

Using a leaf blower (I have a plugin electric) is immense time saver.
I didn't buy one till this year but every single one of my neighbours has one.

You can't rake a hard surface like concrete, and using a broom is exhausting.

Most people have electric with some people with the commercial gas style.

One of my neighbours do use it excessively and the gas ones the loudest (there is no quiet blower).

Seen them use it in the snow... Why shovel the driveway and car, just leaf blower it LOL ( not joking)

Law is predicated on conditions. If you're going to argue that someone used "monopoly power", then you have to show discriminatory practices. A lot of people keep bringing up Standard Oil, and completely overlook the court's consideration of discrimination in rendering its verdict. It is a necessary condition.

So it has neither a monopoly market share, (~27% globally and ~50% locally), nor does it discriminate in favor of wholly owned sham companies in the fashion of Standard Oil's practices.

Guys, we can't go into courts of law and make poop up. Judges will toss you out.

My own opinion is that the laws themselves have to change. A company like Apple will very likely never meet the legal definition of a monopoly. The digital age has outstripped these definitions, and laws need to change to reflect that fact.

When I hear SRI, I always think of the parapsychology research they did for 20 or so years from ~1970-1990 and their huge clash with the newly founded skeptical organization CSICOP (now CSI) in the late 70's.
This is largely solved with approaches such as Flatpak or Snap, but graphics drivers are still an issue - they're expected to be supplied by the distribution, and components of them end up in-process in the application even if the rest of the application's runtime is shipped with the application. If there's an incompatibility between the application runtime and assumptions made by that driver code (as there appears to be in this case - TF2 ships its own malloc() implementation, but the graphics driver code ends up using it inconsistently and so blows up) then you're going to have problems.

I don't think there's anything about Windows that would fundamentally change things here. Windows apps aren't shipping their own graphics drivers, even if they're bundling everything else.
This doesn't mention the method I used back in the 90s when I was writing apps for Acorn's RISC OS. During purchase, you seed a random number generator with the user's name (which is required for purchase), and then generate a random number of whatever length you want. That's their license key.

The application does the same thing, asks for their name and license key, and then confirms that the generated key matches what they entered.

It's trivial to crack, but I just decided that you can never stop the really determined crackers, and a trivial scheme would be enough to incentivize honest users to pay up. Displaying the user's name prominently on the splash screen acts as a guilt-inducer for those sharing keys.

It seems like there's some overlap with the Bartle types from online gaming. You tend to have 4 main motivations to play an massively-multiplayer online game: there's the explorers, the achievers, the socializers, and the killers.

Most hobbies don't literally have a "killer" group (I hope), but maybe the real-world analogous thing is people who enjoy telling other people they suck at their hobby. The other groups seem to apply. You have the people who want to know everything about the hobby, the people who want to be the best at that hobby, and the people who like interacting with that hobby's community. (And just like in online games, too many "killers" can ruin the fun that the socializers are there for. We all know communities that fell apart because they were overrun by snobs and trolls.)

This is something that's been debated over the years, but I think Bartle missed a fifth type, which is people who want to create. In online gaming, these could be the people who actually programmed the game in the first place, or it could be players who are very into user generated content (especially in games like Minecraft where that's a big part of the game).

Similarly there are people who are into gear to the point where they're building their own gear, or even designing original equipment.

I'm that way with music. I'm not very good at guitar or piano or any other instrument and I don't know how to compose, but I got into microtonalism and just intonation, and since proper instruments for that don't really exist (save for continuous-pitch instruments like violin), I've been adapting guitars for a variety of different tunings and building electronic instruments. When you think about it it's pretty weird that I'm learning Kicad and PCB layout because the major third on a 12-EDO instrument is out of tune by about fifteen cents (because the 12th root of 2 to the 4th power is a very crude approximation of 5/4), but sometimes that's just how it goes.
I don't know anything about SNNs, so I think I'm who you're asking. Something I'm really interested in is if there's any possibility of transferring training from normal NNs to the sort of physically embodied things you're discussing. Like how RWKV trains its weights like it's a transformer but then acts on them like it's an RNN, would it be possible to do training with the sort of large deployed NNs that are all the rage right now, but then somehow instantiate those weights into the hardware you're discussing? I'm guessing it's non-viable as-is because of the discrete nature of SNN function, and rounding up or down probably doesn't work, but I would be interested in anything you have to say on it.

Also, I read years ago about a project that was similarly instantiating NNs physically, but it was using optical properties of layered plates to perform the equivalent of weights, do you know anything about that? I don't think it was discrete (can't see why it would be operating on light), but I'd be interested in anything you have to say about that too.
Due to the fact that we incorporate each user’s custom 3D dental scan into the design process, the MouthPad^ is actually quite thin and doesnt prevent speech when worn. With our earliest test users, we have already explored using the MouthPad^ as a complementary tool to voice-control systems.

One example is asking a voice assistant to open “today’s news”, and then using the MouthPad^ to navigate through the options and select the desired link, which is captured briefly in our promotional video (a scene where Krystina is controlling her smart phone). Another example that can be found in our video is when Rocky NoHands uses his MouthPad^ to call his girlfriend, during which he is able to speak with ease. Of course, results may vary, but we have found all our test users are able to speak just fine so far.

The truth is you can't really stop cracking. Even asymmetric crypto can be subverted by, e.g., changing/patching the public key in the executable.

> While I understand this, its really hard for me to sympathize after seeing companies ghost me after multiple rounds of interviews, worst of which is when I spends hours working nights/weekends on their take home assignments (happens a lot more when you are less experienced). What I have learned as I grown older is, everyone (companies / people) always do what's best for them, you do what's best for you (this could be different for different people). I don't make any judgements.

Exactly. And if you go in not really intending to take the job, the company still has the opportunity to sell you on it. Who knows, they might even succeed, it’s been known to happen.
It doesn't work _anywhere_, as iPhone does not currently have sideloading. It's been reported that sideloading could come in iOS 17 later this year, in EU, but unannounced so far.
I moved to a two acre wooded lot a few years back, and brought my trusty battery blower that served me well in the city… that lasted one season. I caved and bought a backpack blower last year for about $300 USD. Is it obnoxious? Sure is. Bad for the environment? I am sure. But what used to take me several hours of blowing and recharging now takes me about 20 minutes.

When the electric blowers catch up in power and value I’ll be happy to switch back - but until then it’s a matter of cost and efficiency.

"Near east" suffers from the issue that it's a geographic classification rather than one encompassing both a region and a period.

It's also, of course, a relative description in that it is "near" relative to a specific presumptive geographic centre, that is, Europe.

That's not to say that the term isn't viable. But again, nuance and compromise.

How well has the average consumer been able to ascertain the “safety” of apps on PCs over the last two decades?”
>I'd hardly call it open. Whether or not you call Apple a monopoly, Apple and Google indisputably have a duopoly over mobile OS.

Why is that relevant? That was not the question before the court. However, to prove an illegal duopoly you have to show collusion. IANAL, but I think it is unlikely anyone could show enough collusion between Apple and Google to reach the threshold of an illegal duopoly.
Also sometimes forgotten is that although doing your own handling of payments through someplace like Stripe has a much lower percentage fee than Apple, it also has a per transaction fee that is typically around $0.25-$0.30.

If the app is selling inexpensive things, such as things at the popular $0.99 price, 30% to Apple is going to be less than 2-3% + $0.30 to a third party payment processor.
Worth noting that side-loading and rooting are not the same thing. Various aspects of the OS (APIs) would still be locked down, whether you can sideload apps or not. So you would not see all the cool tweaks that were (are?) available to jailbreakers.
> I don't see why a developer would have to enter into any contract with Apple in the first place

It's almost guaranteed apps will still have to be signed by Apple in order to be sideloaded. Current developer sideloading requires signing.
