I think her point is that managing your home automation through this level of involvement is not the end goal she’s looking for. I may be wrong, but it sounds like she wants stuff to plug in and work without having to go down the road of setting up custom automation stitching stuff.

I love Home Assistant, but I regularly find myself opening the Hue and Lutron apps anyway. And I’m someone who runs a NUC. I don’t mind administration, but I don’t want to HAVE to do that when I’ve already paid for a thing that supposedly does most of that.
China is having an internal information crackdown. It's approaching the nutty level, which probably indicates that Xi is losing it. The latest thing is a crackdown on clothing "detrimental to the spirit of the Chinese people."[1]

That’s a bizarre idea. China wants Taiwan because they consider it a renegade province. I doubt they care about one fab.

Well, no. It also includes Taiwan.

Are there any useful alternatives? I tried Walmart+, but they make you feel guilty to tip the drivers and their search function is mediocre. Also, comparing to Amazon, the prices seem higher or equal.
Doctors were very clear that you would feel like shit for a few days.

Feeling like shit for a few days can mess with vaginal bleeding. 2-3x hazard ratio sizes for something that doesn’t really matter to one’s health is negligible.
I wouldn't mind a reach-around. I mean, if you're offering.

Otherwise, OP's right. This isn't news agg. It's news talky-talk. There is a high degree of back and forth, without all of the mess of that other place. The back and forth requires intellectual curiosity. It's a prerequisite.
These are great ideas, that a tax paying citizen should not be burdened with in a first world country. Our administration needs to step up from hiring dinosaurs, to actually hiring technology-competent legislators that can compose effective legislation.

Well I have some Aqara/Xiaomi cameras and never ever installed their app and I only control them through the iOS Home.app (Apple TV being the hub)
That information is already available, and much of the implementation (if not all) is open source.

You’re free to produce your own toolchain, developer tools, IDE, etc.

This generally isn’t done because it’s a significant amount of work, and you’ll always be playing catch-up to Apple’s comprehensive integrated development stack.
> Saying that Apple does not provide value is laughable - saying that it isn't worth 30% of the transaction value might be one thing, but they provide the R&D to create the device, the platform, the review infrastructure, update infrastructure, development environment, etc.

By that same measure I should be allowed to ask how this R&D benefits the majority of app developers on the app store. Honestly, when it comes to the value Apple provides to their developers, a much stronger argument would be their marketing that leads to extraordinary customer loyalty, in addition to the higher value market in terms of what customers they attract.

But R&D? Honestly you're joking right? The majority of the platforms "cool" features are locked down and not available to developers. Can I make use of the iPhones SOS feature for my emergency service? Nope, this is an Apple exclusive service, only offered by and through them themselves.

What about NFC/digital payments? Yeah no. Can't access that as an developer without a heavily restricted API.

What about their industry leading Bluetooth stack? Nope, also locked down. I can only pair certain devices, hell I can't even enable platform interoperability between Android and iOS, even though we _know this works_ due to the covid contact tracing feature.

Good luck with trying to offer a competing product to the Apple Watch on their platform. You can't.

Development infrastructure? You mean the infrastructure that I can also only procure through them? The infrastructure that consists of a Mac that I need to actually publish iOS apps, even though nothing would be stopping me from developing these apps on another platform, say Linux?

What about CI/CD and testing and security research? Remember, up until 1-2 years ago, Apple actively went to court against offers such as those of corellium, like when you wanted a virtual device to test your app with.

Google had all this and more on a free app store with a much more fractured ecosystem.

I could go on and on about this, but the majority of app store developers doesn't make use of a large part of their "R&D". A large part of what you call "R&D" I call the typical Apple BS of claiming well established technologies and practices as their own invention and then somehow finding a way to charge you for it.

I'd accept this argument in smaller markets what with the VR goggles and whatnot, and I agree that from a design standpoint, all of these API's / lockdowns are well intentioned and make sense.

But at the same time, the antitrust violation standpoint holds for me as well. Even if I tried, I could not offer a competing product to say, the Apple Watch, because Apple will not allow me to create a device with the same interoperability like their own devices.
Your first mistake was buying a baby monitor where it was even possible for most of its features to be remotely disabled unless you paid a fee. If you give someone else control over your devices, and your data, they'll eventually take it.
I long ago realized that I sleep as well on a couch as I do on a bed, and got rid of my bed next time I moved. However, there is no good place to put a light near the couch such that the switch would be easily reachable while on the couch.

Solution: Hue lights that I can control from Alexa. If I'm dozing off while reading on the couch before bed, I can turn the lights off without having to wake up enough to actually go reach a switch.

All my locks are normal locks that use normal keys (although they are actually called "SmartKey" locks, but that just refers to the clever way they can be rekeyed [1], which is entirely mechanical). I have considered getting one smart lock that has voice and app control because I live alone.

The idea there is that if I have a medical emergency that incapacitates me so that I cannot unlock a door but doesn't incapacitate me so much that I can't call 911, I can unlock a door so when the ambulance arrives they don't have to break in to get me.

[1] The way you rekey them is you put in your current key, turn 90 degrees clockwise, insert a tool they provide into a hole that is next to the keyway to press a release in the back of the hole, remove that tool, and you can then remove the current key (carefully leaving the cylinder rotated 90 degrees). At that point you can put a different key in, and then turn the cylinder 180 degrees counterclockwise. The lock is now keyed to that key instead of the key you started with.
I've seen this argument be made a lot in the past year, that "Oh these things are just tools and you are an idiot for having a critical view on them". I've been thinking a lot about this and I've come to the conclusion that it's based on a flawed understanding of economics, and of quality generally.

Do we measure software engineers in terms of their lines of code per day? I feel that this is basically what you and others are doing when you compare writing or illustration to digging holes. You're seriously misunderstanding the economy of these fields. Productivity has almost nothing to do with the market for art or writing. What matters is the quality of a work (very hard to measure and deeply ingrained in our psyche) and the attention a work receives (Software engineers should be more familiar with this. It is the "algorithm" people love to disparage). We had more than enough productivity already in these spaces. Does giving people a content firehose actually do anything to these markets? Have you read any books written using AI? Do you know and follow any AI artists? Is anyone besides Nvidia and OpenAI making money here?

I understand the appeal of the models, and as a software engineer I've gotten at least some use out of them. But even in that space I have to wonder if producing more code is a net positive. There's a lot of drawbacks to producing more code. There's more chances to write bugs, more you have to document and maintain, and you're potentially overlooking simpler and more elegant solutions.

I guess all I'm trying to say is when you say this is just a hole digger, you're glossing over a lot of nuance.
Philips doesn't make lightbulbs, only healthcare products now. The lighting brand was spun out into a new company called Signify [0] several years ago as part of Philips' persistent goal to divest themselves of anything that could be considered remotely innovative or forward thinking.

They're not known for it because they don't have the ability, not because they don't have the willingness. It's not a matter of culture or policy as evidenced by the profiteering of European luxury goods monopolies. Europe can't compete in tech so it has its lunch eaten by American companies.

Not sure. But web implementations are often highly optimized given just how much they get run. Perhaps one of the filters short circuits and does no work on black pixels because, I dunno, what’s a Gaussian blur of a white circle on a white background?

Interesting and unusual perspective - we have the one person in this thread who supports wildly expanding the death penalty.

Unless the person above is, of course, an anarchist who has no answer for what to do about Richard Ramirez, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Phillip Garrido, or Brian Mitchell. I would say that as imperfect and heavily flawed as our system is, "Perfect is the enemy of good."

Of course it is. Try buying insurance on a house that didn't get a building permit. Try reselling it. And how, exactly, does the government "enforce" the code? Are you put in jail for not following it?

Pretty blackpilled, but this is all rhetoric and opinion, if you’ll forgive me saying so. Do you know anything specific about Mozilla to add?

I don’t know the people in the Mozilla Foundation or its current affairs at all, but I’m hoping others might.

Even if there is no one there who could help change course, could the project in its entirety be “forked” if a new managing body were created and funded?

I also wonder if even MS or Apple, Meta, or even an Opera or other smaller third party with a strong interest in a free web might find reason to join this hypothetical project. Advertisers other than Alphabet?
At some point it is. A smart phone is essentially a need today.
Apple claims they make things easier but that is not actually the case.
They may make a few things easier than Microsoft or Google but they make a lot of things harder too. All their hardware is harder to repair than what is available from competition. Their documentation is inferior (if it exists at all) to even open source project. Software from Apple is hard to use for anyone not used to it which negates their "intuitive" claims and people who are used to it are just keep buying more of their hardware when software fails so there is no incentive to fix anything.

I don't think specialized training solves any of the problems I mentioned. It doesn't increase the window size, or provide any of the types of highly specialized and optimized multi-file, multi-technique analysis, or make it any cheaper.
That is not competition working as intended.

So you can have pro-competitive behavior (lower price) that balances out anti-competitive behavior (crushing nascent competitors through market manipulation or cartels); That doesn't mean everything you do is above board. It means that while the lower prices are there, a certain amount of anti-competitive behavior has been acceptable because the net outcome to consumers is theoretically positive.

[edit] Think about this - if you can win with lower prices, why do the other anti-competitive behaviors? Why not just have lower prices and let others try to compete with higher quality or lower prices than you? Wouldn't that be better?

The reality of this is, though, that the monopoly you form affects far more than the consumer product price. What the FTC is saying here is that they are moving back to structural restriction rather than simply allowing anti-competitive behavior so long as the price is good, a la the Chicago School.

>We are seeing low prices and then competitors that suck complaining about the fact that they suck in comparison to the more competitive company.

That's not what we're seeing, though.

What we are seeing is artificially high prices. One of the allegations is that if a seller prices below Amazon, Amazon removes their access to market.
Presumably someone who uses beta graphics drivers and reasons from personal anecdotes is not a good judge of the reliability of a mass market operating system for the average consumer.

I still have one of the original hubs and I definitely have more than 5 devices (light bulbs and outlets) working without problem.

I have at least 3 physical switches in use and they’ve lasted at least 2 years so far.
I think this is a great thing for Apple customers and customers of all platforms as it will increase the experiences available to iPhone customers and give non-iPhone customers a new reason to move to the iPhone (I know I would certainly consider buying an iPhone if I could do more with it).

This doesn't prevent high quality apps from being distributed on iOS - this just means that Apple needs to compete with other developers on its own platform, something it doesn't need to do currently.

It's unlikely consumers would install an alternative app store or side-load apps without a compelling reason to do so.

If we see that enough customers are motivated to learn and undergo the process of sideloading an app or installing an alternate app store, then we can view that as an indicator that Apple's existing ecosystem is lacking and restricting experiences customers desire - or that developers cannot publish using Apple's existing channels.

In other words, it indicates that Apple customers want more than Apple can provide meaning that Apple either needs to compete with the alternatives or lose software customers - fostering competition and engaging Apple on a level they haven't felt in a long time.

Apple can still justify its app store as the place to go to find the best quality "Apple certified" apps. Go there if you want to find an app free of tracking, and approved by Apple for quality - justifying their app store developer pricing through the marketing apps receive.

Would love to see how the legislation develops in the long term.

Will this eventuate in MacOS/iOS apps being cross-compilable (from Linux) through disarming license terms restricting libraries from being used on all platforms?

What about preventing the installation of iOS/MacOS on non Apple hardware?

What about banning locked bootloaders - allowing people to port Android to iPhones (which I assume is feasible given the cross over from the Asahi project) - or allowing root access as an opt-in feature for customers.

Or something like rules requiring vendors to provide minimal public software or hardware schematics to aid in repairability, or reuse through efforts to maintain software beyond the vendors support schedule (or support porting efforts like Asahi).

Considering how much effort dedicated people put into these endeavours today out of passion - overcoming the most immense artificial roadblocks - imagine how many crazy projects would emerge by breaking down these barriers... otherwise known as innovation ;)

I would buy my MacBook Pro again right now if I could run Linux on it with full hardware acceleration, hardware support and battery life. The desire to innovate is there.

Would installing an old version of the app work? Like an APK that dates from before the time the notice started appearing or ever earlier than that.

Yeah. China has its stance consistently since 1940s, it is not that they woke up about Taiwan in 2010.

It is more of a scorched earth plan. There isn't much of interest to US beyond TSMC. As long as it doesn't fall in hand of China, rest it will be OK to loose.
30 minutes to work, 30 minutes back home, 4 days a week! Not a bit of traffic, aside from school buses or tractors! It's relaxing, and a great time to catch up on podcasts, lectures, or just do some karaoke! And the views are gorgeous!

Just earlier today I stopped in the middle of the road on my way home just to stare in awe at the sunset beaming across the sky onto a huge, billowing, fluffy cloud that was kissing the horizon, rolling green pastures dotted with cows basking in the fading sunlight. I really do underappreciate the beauty of rural living!
Ask HN: Has anyone else been stung by Mapbox/public token services?
A client I contract to currently has recently seen an increase in Mapbox usage from a block of IPs which are owned by a hosting company. These IPs haven't managed to get through to the server itself (all the requests are logged as blocked in Cloudflare) but they have been able to use the Mapbox token to request maps.

This has seen their billing go from $4,000 to $60,000 a month. After some back and forth with Mapbox they've provided a list of IPs which all fall within the same IP block and all have over >500,000 map/tile loads per day.

This incident raises concerns about whether any protective measures are available against such abuse. Are organizations utilizing public tokens potentially putting their yearly budgets at risk due to malicious actors?
The green bubbles break Apple's accessibility guidelines - making it more difficult to read (especially for visually impaired users). The better option is switching to Signal, but some people have strange hangups.
I imagine using HDCP or DPCP would defeat this since encrypted data should look pretty much the same as noise. There is finally a use of these technologies beyond DRM.
I know. I'm trying to engage you in good faith.

I was molested as a child. I know a fair amount about abuse.

There isn't always a clear bright line between ignorance and abuse. Assuming the worst can make the problem worse.

People tend to not be paragons of virtue who have all the answers for everything they run into. Some people can be helped to become better parents.

I thought long and hard about that while sending care packages to a couple of welfare moms. Declaring them unfit moms and having their kids taken and placed in foster care wasn't some magic solution that guaranteed a fabulous outcome, so I chose to try to help them succeed to whatever degree I could, on a limited budget and from a distance.
