Yeah I reworded it - I meant Blink. And no, I'd argue that just because it's open source doesn't change that it's an antitrust-worthy browser. The obvious problem being the conflict of interest in developing a browser (which is meant to serve users) and an advertising platform (which is meant to serve business customers). That alone should have prevented Google from entering that field, but here we are.

---

In a technical sense, Chrome is a monopoly though. The development of Chrome moves at such a rapid pace that only Firefox can keep up (kind of, Firefox had to give up on anything involving PWAs to do it and they take a large sum of money from the big G for putting their search engine as the default).

Similarly, just look at how many web RFCs amount to "this was implemented by Chrome and technically a Chrome fork is a second implementation, so it can be OK stamped", which has squeezed the market for third parties to be able to develop their own browser just by making the amount of "required" features so large nobody could meaningfully implement them.[0]

And then there's the utterly dismal state of the Android platform, where Google just uses their control over OEMs and the ROM to outright prevent anyone from easily replacing the System WebView (the browser Android uses to render stuff "in-apps", basically if you've ever used an app that seemingly opens external links without launching chrome, that's the System WebView) with a non-chrome engine (basically, Google lets OEMs specify a hash on what the System WebView should be - almost all mainstream OEMs lock it to the Google implementation -or Chrome Canary which is just the same fucking browser-, leaving the only option to circumvent it to be rooting, which has its own issues and limitations).

There's no meaningful maintained alternatives to it either (Mozilla's work on GeckoView only targets individual apps, not the system version; Vanadium and Mulch are both just Chrome forks that implement it as part of a larger custom ROM but in the end are only competition in the same way GNU IceCat is technically a competing browser - they're openly tied to the Chromium upstream because they lack the manpower to do it on their own. The Vanadium dev also stopped anyone from using his work in the future by setting his System WebView implementation to GPLv2-only to prevent folks from forking it), since nobody wants to bother.

Just being open source doesn't prevent a company from using their leading position and size to muscle away all the competition.

This is interesting to me. Do you use a library to estimate the fourier series of a data series or have you implemented it from scratch? I've searched for this in the past but always got results RE. Fourier transforms, not series.
> Apple doesn't even need to make an Android version of iMessage, they just need to support RCS instead of SMS/MMS: https://www.android.com/get-the-message/

Or Google could have just licensed iMessage.

RCS is not a consumer benefit: RCS gives strange powers to the carrier that your phone connects to (as opposed to the company you contract with; i.e. your mobile carrier), powers over your camera, microphone, radio, power levels, and motion sensors. I don't care if T-Mobile can offer "true" 4G video calling with it with other T-mobile customers. Nobody fucking wants that.

Google deciding to partner with American Telcos and the American Government to get RCS standardized has confused you into thinking Apple did something wrong, or is continuing to do something wrong by not adopting Google's RCS (and paying Google's license fees for RCS, integrating with every carrier, and so on) instead of Google paying Apple for iMessage (and paying Apple's license fees for iMessage). This isn't your fault, you're just proof that Google's advertising is working and that Google is really good at advertising and marketing.

I have no experience with the US system. I made no mention of public/private, universal health care or not and so on.

Your last sentence (minus the specific country) is exactly what I was talking about. There is no shortage of stories where doctors don't get it right for a million reasons. There is room for improvement.
This is not just about me or us on Hacker News.

You really think you can stop your $relative from using Facebook or Instagram just because they moved the app to a store that has zero limits for privacy intrusions?
I've used messenger in the past, after that i've just convinced family/friends to install telegram and chat there. Now I'm thinking abt moving to Signal, so imo, it's not that a big deal, users can migrate/install alternatives. If ppl care, they'll install an app to communicate with you, if they don't, well...
The problem was fixed. The goal was reached.

It would be nice if apples ecosystem was available for non hardware users.
Nix works by putting its packages into some installed folder, and then building a system by symlinking to those packages.

You'd retain the nix package storage between boots (so as to avoid having to redownload/rebuild), and setting the system up just involves setting up some symlinks. - GrahamC's blogpost discusses this in a bit more detail.

"Fresh system each run" isn't too exotic compared to image-based approaches like launching a VM on AWS, or running a Docker image.
Having a monopoly isn't illegal. Using a monopoly as power in another market is. Microsoft got hit because they used their monopoly in desktop operating systems to freeze out competition in the browser market and jam IE down people's throats. The browser market being a different market than the desktop operating system market.
So UPS is not acting as a "common carrier" in the way the previous poster was claiming.
> I was repairing my Peloton the other day and getting inside made it really obvious how else you can manipulate

That's because Peloton's hardware is ...to put it nicely... "somewhat economical". :P

Peloton's never been intended as a serious sports science tool though, so it really doesn't matter how inaccurate it is. Its experience is much closer to gym spinning classes than outdoor cycling.

A spinning bike is even cheaper in design, it'll just have a "make it harder or easier" screw to tighten a strap round a spinning drum. That's the level they're competing with.

Despite the name you're unlikely to see anyone in the professional peloton warming up for a Grand Tour on either a spinning bike or something from Peloton Inc's current range.

A high end smart trainer like the Tacx Neo family will use electromagnets to generate its resistance. 100 watts of resistance is 100 watts of electrical power to about 0.5%-1%. No calibration necessary because it's connected to a source of electrical power[1].

-

1. You can actually use a Neo without connecting it to the mains but it's less accurate and you don't get some of features like downhill simulation.
I've just tried AntennaPod.

Unless there's some setting I am missing, I think it doesn't let you search for podcast episodes and then play them without subscribing to a podcast. In that respect, Google podcasts is better.
I recently needed to write a memory allocator and being lazy asked ChatGPT for help. Interestingly it came up with implementation eerily similar to what is described in that document.
Nonetheless everything worked like a charm from the start.
yep, user can choose to do what they want, including installing apps from third party or viceversa - not installing an app that doesn't respect their privacy/values
> So far it appears to be the same old thing with a different owner.

What a ridiculous point. Did you expect 15 new features a few weeks after the branch?

> project doesn't actually care about the users

And you know that because the haven't yet developed 100 new features?
Holy crap how big is your home office that turning in a light is an side quest?

Why contain it? Let it spill over the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end they'll beg us to save them.

> The iOS and iPadOS 16.7 update covers all devices that could run version 16, including older stuff like the iPhone 8, iPhone X, and first-gen iPad Pro that can't be upgraded to version 17. In a couple of months, if precedent holds, newer devices will have to upgrade to keep getting security fixes, while iOS 16 updates will continue to support older devices for at least another year.

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/09/ios-16-7-arrives-for...

Could you update to iOS 16.7 and check which Safari version it uses? Would be interesting to know. On macOS you can already install the newest Safari version even when running 3 year old macOS.
> The fact that Apple purposefully not only gives Android users a shitty experience when communicating with iOS users

Because it’s an iOS-to-iOS product feature. Because its functionality is predicated on Apple Hardware features. If you want iOS features, buy an iOS device.
I've experienced similar (not in the kernel, but a high profile OS project), making an initial contribution is interpreted as an offer to become the personal secretary for one of the project full timers. I politely backed away.
Low expectations is a helpful part of living a peaceful life. Everything nice that happens is a bonus, but I’d recommend not staking your happiness on what others do and don’t do.
"...without any context (as in a screenshot)."

Right, it saves typing when using some of the words elsewhere, and or when there's something in the bubble like a URL or awkward Unicode character. Copying the text is much quicker than regenerating it from scratch—or it ought to be!

Also, with an address and or phone number it saves making copying errors (I regularly copy text this way).
Does the first image say Gay Sex? :))
It's pretty much an industry leader, it was one of the earliest ones on the scene. And many people write terraform providers for different kinds of targets. So whether good or bad, it has a lot of mind share and lots of lines of code written for it.

Alternatives do exist now and they're all good in their own ways.
That's a multi faceted problem. Murder rates also were halves since the 80s in the US, it's not necessarily the same type of criminality

In other countries the clearance rates are as high as ever. The US is an exception in many aspects in the West, closer to third world countries depending on what metric you look at

> overall, findings showed that the clearance rate in Finland and Switzerland in the years of analysis was very high, in some years of the analysis even reaching 100 percent. Internationally, these rates are extraordinary high, even in comparison with other European countries such as Italy (67 percent and, later, 78 percent) , Estonia (80 percent), England & Wales (85 percent) and France (80 percent)

The post you link uncovers apparent frauds in research from 2012 and 2020. Ariely's reply says that he received the data in good faith, and that it was provided by private insurance companies. He also thanks the post authors for their work.

This doesn't paint him as a fraud, but as a victim of fraud.
ask fb? it's the business of the fb to distribute their apps. Or, you can use insta for sharing photos... in the browser, and even block the ads.

I think you have a very rosy view of the market. And you also overestimate the supply and demand in healthcare.

I didn't expect it to be this Ashens, but now I think about it I totally should have.
I actually assembled a photo album using an online service to collect a few years worth of rather piquant¹ photos my wife and I made. I went all out with fancy options (faux leather cover with embossed title and high quality paper on museum cardboard stock). It made a great present for her.

The market for this service of online printing on-demand of photo albums is actually really mature at this point, with many options and many tiers of quality at surprisingly competitive prices.

We were already planning on getting albums printed for our child's first few years too, by collecting the digital originals ordered by year.

1: Putting it euphemistically.
The linux kernel isn't a reward and while I empathize with the OP I would absolutely prefer a better solution to maintain than one from the community. So the maintainer was well within their rights.

That said, it's so easy to just give people who contributed to the fix attribution, in Node.js we make a point of trying to give credit in release notes and add `Co-Authored-By:` to PRs where we took _some_ work people did in PRs and adapted it.

When you maintain something for a while, credit often stops being important to you (you _are_ the maintainer of the area after all) so it's hard to remember that for new contributors it's often very important.

Totally a loss for OP and that part of linux that the maintainer wasn't more attentive to the fact sharing credit (especially when deserved like in this case) was important to OP.
You have control over the inputs but not the outcomes :)
Oh man at least you got a Reported-by.

When I found a kernel panic on FreeBSD my report was taken by a guy on IRC and was told "just don't worry about it i'll send it to the maintainers".
The "problem" is that Apple gets most of their money from hardware sales, they don't need to be able to uniquely identify their users to make huge bank.

Thus they go privacy first in things just because they can. Like randomising IDs used to identify players across apps and services. You should've seen the tears marketing shed when that change happened.
> Sorry, I like my version better. If you want to be a Linux kernel contributor, here’s an issue you could fix.

What a great way to make sure someone will never help you again and disincentivize others from doing the same.
My thoughts too. A bug existed, the maintainer looked at a contribution and as the maintainer picked the best solution which happened to be his own solution. That’s how the kernel community works. The community picks what’s best for the kernel. Not what looks good on your resume.
Yes, but you can also do things for other people to make their day better. Saying that happiness comes from within doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try help others feel happy.
I don't think this is a result of inequality. I think it's a complex mixture of local policies, culture, large scale criminal groups seeking profits, etc.

Inequality is certainly a factor! But ultimately, large criminal organizations are turning shoplifting into a business. I don't think that efforts to support a "large, stable middle class" will help much with that.
-4 points, really?

Argue with the premise, don't just tap downvote. This isn't Reddit.
That would be the SFC (https://sfconservancy.org/) I believe. Although Onyx is a Chinese company so little can be done.

It always happen like that.
That's why there are anti-dump rules on international trades.
spitballing: laws exist to take care of outliers, they cannot regulate a society of people who are, on average, looking to exploit each other for personal gain.
Great! So I can hand you all my work and you will do it, I will take credit, and you will be happy?
No. That's normal. But life is not fair and it's not going to happen always.

Not being able to accept that shows immaturity.
Ahh found someone’s comment “ I had to close 1 eye, and squint-see through the other, but then I saw the letters and word”

Kinda surprised it works so well lol
With such a long list of new features and changes, I'm surprised my two favourite issues are still a problem in Windows Terminal, which every other terminal mulator gets right:

- The Control-Space key combination doesn't send anything. (Aka Control-@ or Control-2). It's supposed to send a NUL character, and is used as set-mark-command in GNU Emacs and some other things. Works fine in real VT terminals (as Control-2), and most other terminal emulators.

- The cursor or character under the cursor become near-invisible with some character colours, due to lack of automatic cursor contrast. I found this to be a problem when running text editing apps that change the background colour from the default. No configured cursor colour was usable for both the shell and the editors.

Luckily for me I'm not using Windows any more :-)

Can we please stop being armchair experts? Go to the target stores in question, you can see people walking out with phat stacks every single day while staff can do nothing except watch.

Pretending theft isnt a problem is naive at best but lets be honest its agenda pushing.
These insights are really awesome! It reminds me of the common aphorism in Statistics: 'All models are wrong, but some are useful.'These insights are really like a wake-up call, thank you!
They do benefit from access to technology to an extent though: they need to know about it in order to fully interact with the world they are to grow up into.

At what point this becomes necessary is a matter of much argument. They certainly don't need it in the first few years, but I'd suggest they need to be at least aware by the time they are going to school.

It is difficult to separate this from entertainment, because being entertained/interested/curious is largely how our brains do some of their best learning at early ages.

> Kids lived that way for a very long time.

Be careful with appeals to tradition.

The world doesn't exactly work the way it did a long time ago, so we are not preparing kids for the same life they were expected to experience back then.
Open or closed source, sometimes the maintainers or engineers will go with different approaches or fixes.

I don't think we have an agreed upon standard of thanking or crediting contributors, everyone does it in their own way.

A lot of work is thankless, though. And sometimes people get angry for something you change, even if it's an improvement for most others.

Sometimes people are thankful, but mostly silently.

Stoicism may be useful.
If you can be happy with nothing, you win life!
Hard to judge this situation without hearing the other side. I don't know if the PowerPC maintainer saw significant issues with this guy's code.

One thing I do know is that putting in a lot of work up front, without any communication, sending a patch and then getting all worked up if it's not accepted is not generally a good strategy.
Apples market share is less than Android. Your argument is like saying Amazon is a monopoly in the kindle store.

Some folks are just power hungry and like to wield force unnecessarily.
You don't need to participate in formal races to enjoy the ability to go fast and/or far. Even before Strava, people would "race" each other in group rides whenever a hill comes up, and themselves whenever they hit their standard loop. Plenty of non-racers have turbos to get them through winter, some of them use Zwift to make it a little less boring.
We make one print-on-demand photobook for each year of holiday trips. It's very nice, no worry at all about data getting lost or whatever (of course you can keep your files too) and the process of making a book is also a nice way to curate and go over all the memories again. Making a new book is always a good occasion to have a look at the earlier ones too. You can show it to people without instigating a looking-at-phones party. If you're into photography at all it's also just nice to see them in physical format.
This is really well made and confirmed a longstanding suspicion of mine that in the region where most of my family lives it's absolutely pouring compared to the rest of the country.

Would it be possible to add isohyetal lines for the depth map? That would make it much easier to read it, considering that the colour contrast isn't particularly high there so a legend wouldn't really help.
New contributors often have the opposite problem where after an initial contribution they're looking for areas to get involved with and time with a maintainer is valued. Usually the missing part is maintainers willing to do this.

(Unless you mean literally personal secretary and dealing with their personal life or setting meetings up and stuff, I assumed you meant tell you what bugs are worth looking at etc)
Words versus actions.

People don't really care about what the executive says.

Especially when the same executive is also quoted with patently dishonest bullshit:

> If you think about the product portfolio that AMD has, it’s arguably the broadest in the industry in terms of AI compute

What AMD does is what people will pay attention to.
That’s quite harsh. And also a very simplistic tautology.

This post is literally about not getting credit for one’s work. If you don’t believe that the author deserved recognition for their work then you should say that outright.
I put eveything in a folder named YYYY-MM-DD_XXXX where XXXX is an general identifier of the pictures, usually a place, sometime an event or a person. When there are several days that belong together I use YYYY-MM-DDstart_YYYY-MM-DDend_XXXXXXXX/YYYY-MM-DD

It's more difficult since I have a cellphone that take good pictures, since I can have a lot of day with one or two pictures instead of sevral in few days like before, but it's also an opportunity to get rid of unwanted pictures

For photo scanning, I'm just using a batch number that I also add to the physical media

Apparently an eager algorithm seems to come up with decent results. Now how to prove that it is (not) optimal?
Why can’t we try and change things we feel are unfair? Sure, we can’t change everything and we don’t always get what we want, but surely we can try, like asking someone to improve their behavior?

Watch the Netflix documentary Taking Care of Maya for a sobering and ongoing look into this.
I stopped making photos after I realized that I never watch none of 100GB photos I have. In case I make them, I don't care about doing anything to them, most of photos I do I use immediately. And I even do not care about deleting some photos I have already used. Just push all of them to the HDD in case I need to clean some memory. After I have losed one of HDD because of dropping, I have a cool tech solution to store HDDs as close to floor as possible.
Indeed. Buy devices that comply with standards.

It's a little like buying some networking device that suppports only proprietary protocols and then complain it doesn't support TCP/IP.

My go to configuration is IKEA Trådfri + Home Assistant.
I star/favourite some photos after taking them. If I lost everything except the starred ones I would be ok. Backup on dropbox, and dropbox in n computers.

Once in a blue moon I collect some starred pictures and print a physical album, several if it involves family (one album for them). If I am browsing photos on my phone and I see a bad one, I will delete it (will then sync the delete automatically), but only when I casually run into them.
