I don’t think so. Apple is not a monopoly in any of those spaces, and has plenty of competition on all fronts.

One of the big things that makes Apple products so compelling is the integration and shared engineering between them.

For instance, Apple made some of the best processor cores over the course of a decade for the iPhone. Now, variants of those cores are used in everything from the Apple Watch to the Mac.

Also, when you buy an iPhone app, it will often also work on the iPad and Apple Watch with tight integration and syncing.

To break the company up on product lines would significantly worsen the products. It would make the products less competitive worldwide and likely hurt the US economy. I think this would be a nonstarter for regulators.

If regulators want to go after anticompetitive practices, they would more likely force Apple to make changes to App Store policies, which are in many cases incredibly unfair.
Why this is right? You just responded with a list of their product lines?
The number of people that are average is infinitesimal, even if you define average as “mode” instead of median or mean.

About half are better than median though.
That's odd because there are tons of engineers with software patents.
Oh for sure but I think it's a spectrum.

I find it most productive when the assumption is asked and granted for something uncertain, interpretable, subjective, etc. Or when we are just having fun :-)

If a) you are building a serious proposedmodel of reality and b) start with something demonstrably false, I'd have to be in a pretty specific mood to go with it :-D

I'm not a researcher in that field, though I did used to work in biomedical research a long time ago in a different field.

I got the link from a group chat where we talk about feminism and women's rights.
If you didn't use the word organic, sure. In food, the word "organic" has a specific legal meaning:

> "Any product labeled as organic on the product description or packaging must be USDA certified"

A synthetic peach flavoring would almost certainly be unable to attain this sort of certification.

But calling a peach-flavored product "peach" is as old as the hills, and of course I'm okay with it.
What is the likelihood of overfitting the smaller models? It’s not obvious what the criteria and hyperparams are that prevent that.

If there’s no overfitting and the results get reproduced then this is a very promising find.
A long time ago, I used to work for a design studio in my country (Mexico). A client asked for the packaging design for a new product made from beef. When we asked him for the Nutrition Facts table and the ingredient list, he gave us the packaging of a similar product from the competition and simply told us: Just write the same thing. I stopped working with them around the time (for another reasons). I later saw the new packaging: it had the same information. Some months later it was updated. I dont know if the new labels were real this time.
Now that I have an EV with 130 miles of range, I’m finding miles per kwh to be much more useful than efficiency.

I’d bet range anxiety was also a thing for early gasoline powered cars, so the early adopters of those probably preferred mpg over gpm.
Ask HN: When you go to a new city where do you find what to do?
When you visit a new city, do you google what to do and follow what you find there?

For me is so time consuming and you end up going to the tipical places for turists.

Do you know a better way to find better places to visit?

Edit: I live in a super tourist place, around 4 millions tourist per year, and I know that 95% of tourist don't go to the best places but a few do. I'm curious about how these 5% manage to find it out!

I've recently figured out that I've been looking at long cooking tasks wrong. Instead of blocking the whole time for that task I block out that time for another task and take breaks where I prep the next cooking step while the pot boils unattended. I had a big mental block on making sourdough starter, as it requires attention every day for three days, which I didn't figure I could manage. But now it's just something to do while I'm making coffee. Throw some more flour and water in there and mix it up. I don't actually have to sit by the counter for three days waiting for fermentation to happen. I can't believe it took me so long to realize this.
There are legitimate criticsms to be made about those practices, but which exact anti-competitive practices are employed by Google/Bing against newspapers, in particular?
Ideally, you'd use a language with native speakers who can ultimately verify the translation efforts. Perhaps a language like Icelandic, Celtic, or Korean would be better. Languages with little cross over into english while also having accessible translators.

North Sentinel island would be a good stress test, but not a good first step as we can't ask them if we got the language right.
And for what proposed regulation of the tech industry was the pushback unwarranted?
That's bad behaviour against users, not bad behaviour against newspapers.

Why is it that front end frameworks have so many fans, teams, logos, lifestyles and haircuts?

I always wonder why no one plays with forehands on both sides, i.e., a right-handed forehand and a left-handed forehand. I think that would be such an advantage.

Monks living in monasteries, surrounded by so much history. The church played a very big administrative role in medieval times. And it is the orthodox church chronicles that contain some of the most intimate aspects of what life used to be like centuries ago.

When I think of all those ruins lying beneath the hills of Dobruja. And some old tome in the basement of some church in the middle of nowhere is the only document attesting to the existence of those ruins.

There's gold waiting to be discovered everywhere around us if we're willing to dig.
> Recently he got really focused on “micro-mobility” (ie, Bird/Lime scooters, etc) which hasn’t really been as earthshaking as he predicted

Mostly because of antisocial behavior of all sorts: people thinking that scooters were similar to bikes so you could drive them while wasted, random youth groups throwing them off of bridges, into waterways or otherwise destroying them "for the lulz", inconsiderate dumb fucks parking their scooters right where they stepped off, or companies that plastered scooters, bikes and cars over entire cities without coordinating with any authority beforehand.

All of that led to a massive amount of public resentment and subsequent regulation that impeded usage (e.g. no-park-here zones, speed limits during the night and sobriety tests to reduce the risk for drunkards, requirements to force people to submit parking photos), and on top of that come the sometimes ridiculous "unlock fees" or absurd pricing of 20-30 ct/min or more. Public transport tickets cost less than that.
We track our productivity. Our teams got more productive when we went remote. A lot more productive. The worst case for some individuals is that they remained at the same productivity level. The productivity has remained good.

These are software dev teams. The tooling did not change at all when we went remote, except that we rarely have face to face meetings anymore.

Are you using iCloud Private Relay? Is it possible that their third-party content provider is setting that?
That can't be what they're saying, since asking for "let us access this" is already assuming no end-to-end encryption. The other governments would have nothing to do with the argument in that case.
A big part of the problem here is that most of the proposals to regulate tech companies actually are terribly crafted attempts to regulate something the drafters poorly understand, or naked power grabs by other industries (legacy media conglomerates being a common perpetrator).

A good heuristic is to look at which part of the industry is opposing it. If it's opposed by small businesses or individual developers or civil liberties organizations, that's a bad rule even (or especially) if huge tech conglomerates like it. But if it's the reverse -- like antitrust enforcement -- now you might be onto something necessary.
Google’s Election Interference
When was the last time quantum physics sparked delight in a member of the general public? Sorry, let me rephrase: has there even been a first time?
I think we are reaching diminishing returns in the current paradigm that was sparked by React, but the iterative nature of the web means that a new paradigm is bound to appear. I think there are a number ways this can go.

- Some older language or tech is upgraded and crosses over via WASM

- Immediate mode GUIs rendered with Canvas

- Heavier reliance on the base web standards without as much build processes. Either SSR like HTMX or an event driven rehash of MVC for SPAs.
If I understand correctly, Cuber is meant to fit between "I run a simple Digital Ocean droplet with my code" and "I have people managing my kubernetes cluster and deployments". I am a freelance software developer running sizeable client applications (low millions requests per month, 300 ~ 500 domains, fully custom made) in my own kubernetes cluster along with my own (side)projects so I feel that I fit that bill somewhat.

My first impression is that it looks quite awesome! If this is able to remove a big build process of containers then that would be awesome. I don't want to build my docker containers locally, I don't want to 'manage' a docker registry, I don't want to build my containers in my cluster (e.g. Kaniko). However, everything says it will push to the Docker registry and I haven't been able to find any private registry or non-registry option. That would be quite a dealbreaker because I don't want to 'store' my images long term, I will only use them for the few moments where the pods are deployed with a new image and the few days/weeks where they might restart. But retention is not a huge requirement.

Just my 2c.
I'd say the area where cooking videos particularly shine is technique and visual assessment.

It's much harder to describe the proper motion in text than to just show a video. A still image of dough doesn't show you the elasticity as well as a video does.

Areas they're particularly bad for is anything involving data; recipes, ratios, times. Those are all much easier to see in text.

They're both pretty bad at teaching "feel". There's no way around tasting and poking at any recipe you're not familiar with. Neither videos nor text will teach you how to do that. They'll tell you it's important but you really just need to do it a bunch.
They are the dominant telecom companies, but they are much more than that here and have had the politicians in their pockets, protecting them from competition and funneling tax-payers money to them, for years.

You might be puzzled that I mention them in relation to a bill that is supposed to be for journalism - but the official analysis of this bill confirms that the majority of the money actually goes to them. That is normal here.
Originally, the EU had one paragraph on this. That paragraph literally said that you had to let 'any' third party interconnect.

There's nothing natural about modern society, so again: what's your point? Because not being natural is kinda of literally the whole point of society itself: we removed ourselves from "the natural order of things" because that allowed us to kick progress into higher gear.

You live in a highly curated society brought to you by, for an incredibly long period of time, military advances making its way into civilian life. (Does that mean only military advances? Of course not, don't pretend that ∃A, A→B means ∄ C, C→B)

Especially since, and this is something people seem to forget, the US military actually works for the US. Unlike congress or the NSA, it doesn't give a shit about oppressing fellow Americans, it literally funds projects it knows will benefit progress. Sure, it funds whackjob cultists like Raytheon too, because they need weapons for playing war, but the vast majority of US military research is actually for things that benefit everyone, not just the military.
> A real world example I recall was a colleague who trivialized data loss and reasoned that nobody stores important stuff on that app. The customer complaint was that the "trivial" data that was lost was a recording of his deceased father, or something of the sort.

Wow. I would be beside myself. Ecamm PhoneView is something I used regularly. They discontinued it and suggested moving to iMazing, but it doesn’t contemplate the same use case or workflows, and is a poor replacement albeit very useful and powerful for other uses.

This is why I strive to place myself in the customer’s shoes when building and improving something. Don’t take from them, listen to their feedback, let them guide the product within reason, and don’t lose sight of the fact that they’re paying you to work for their interests.

You only give it to the government entities your country is asking you to. Heck, you could even encrypt each user's data with their own government's key.

Yeah the compliance is the same whether you use Windows, Mac or Linux. We run Microsoft Defender on our Macs. And have JAMF, and Beyond Trust. All the same shitty corp management software works on Macs now because they are popular in the workplace. If your corp isn't managing them the same as Windows, they either have no third party security audits, or your company is not compliant.

Except, that's now how random systems work: you don't get one high value, then some low values, then a value value. Try flipping a coin many times: if you do it enough times, you'll get 5 heads in a row due to chance. The same is true for random weather events. If you look at this graph going back further, you'll see high losses in previous years:

Certainly this graph is trending higher from the 1970s, but is that due to more real estate with a higher valuation? And how much insurance premiums were collected?

I found the flavor combinations and techniques easier to grasp than timing. That's what always gets me. Juggling two or three dishes with their own timing and requirements such that they all come out around the same time and one is not burning while stirring the other trips me up. After I practice a recipe a few times I get better at anticipating what it'll need when, but I'll never make the mistake again of cooking all new recipes for a dinner party and have each one fail spectacularly.

There was a similar number combo in the UK.
> For instance, Apple made some of the best processor cores over the course of a decade for the iPhone. Now, variants of those cores are used in everything from the Apple Watch to the Mac.

Regulators could force Apple to sell their CPUs (if as hardware or as IP license) under fair conditions to willing buyers, or to open up macOS, iMessage, Facetime and Find My iDevice to competitors' products.

That way Apple could still enjoy the benefits of having tightly integrated hardware and software, but the rest of the world could enjoy high performance ARM systems as well, thus finally providing some actual competition to Intel and AMD.
Spanish may have been a bad first language, but others like Korean, Icelandic, or even Russian would work as there is very little cross over or related languages.

You'd have to be careful with the input data, though, as it would be easy to corrupt your dataset with translations if you try and do this fast.
Of all the big tech companies Apple is the most innocuous. There have no monopoly in any of their sectors and you can just ignore them if you wish, as I do, without any consequences.
For newspapers, datapoint would be to check how many users click on URL after reading title + citation at google or fb.
This is kinda the point... of Sommelliers, those with exceptional olfactory +1s

I personally have a really poor sense of smell.

I can drink horrible wine, and it wont bother me... my girlfriend on the other hand was Cellar Somm at the most famous restaurant in California, and has a nose for wines that are in the out-of-reach for most people.

There is a wine maker, Mark Jessup - the winemaker for the infamous Opus One... his current winery is fantastic, his statement was that the price limit one should do for "really good drinkable wines" is ~$150 MAX. Diminishing returns after, unless you have other ties to the price of the bottle.. but a ~$90-~$150 bottle is going to give you the best dollar for decanting. (https://www.jgregorywines.com/about_us)

Else, drink what you like...

But if you look at Harlan and such (even against screaming eagle) - they are amazing, but are just in the next tier of budget (just like grinding an RPG, level up - bigger numbers, same basic relative stats.)

-

I do recommend Cadueces Maynard James of band TOOL...

Best ~$90 bottles

Always order over phone and request signed bottles by winemaker. (in general)

Dark public choice perspective: this is incentive compatible for pharmaceutical companies and governments who can now give out their guidelines and solutions without as strong scrutiny.

5 person engineering team is the total size of engineering presence. They mention they don’t want managers till they grow to 20-30 engineers, which makes me believe this is a very small startup and not an established company. It is very usual for employees at companies that size to work more than just 9-5 5 days a week, usually in anticipation of a big eventual payoff.
No, obviously. Are you being deliberately obtuse or do you really not know what ingredients are considered culturally to be atomic and what is considered composite and therefore a shortcut? Like there is a floor and it's not very far down.

* A cut of meat is atomic, that cut pre-marinated isn't.

* Flour is atomic, a Jiffy box is composite.

* Oil is atomic, bottled dressing is composite.

* Potatoes are atomic, frozen french fries aren't.

* 5 spice powder is atomic, but cinnamon sugar is composite.

* Cream is atomic, bottled Alfredo isn't.

* Hidden Valley packets are atomic, but bottled ranch isn't. But when bottled ranch is used as an ingredient in a larger dish it becomes atomic again.

* Rice is atomic, Uncle
Ben's isn't. Same rule as ranch when it's used in a larger dish.

* Bread is composite until you make a sandwich with it.

* But this rule doesn't apply to jarred pasta sauce when made into spaghetti. But it does apply to jarred pizza sauce when made into pizza.

Like sure the rules are organic and messy as all cultural norms all, but if you cook with any regularity you just "know" them because it defines when you're allowed to say "I made this" when presenting the dish to others.
