Does the DMA allow for a distinction between system applications and those that are sideloaded - or do they expect that any sideloaded app should have access to all entitlements, including those that are private today?

I've read summaries of the DMA but it's not obvious.

> Nobody has to enable it.

OS and device vendors forcibly inserting themselves between developers and users like Apple does is unprecedented. Because Apple has a literal technological supremacy over most of the humanity (since iOS devices use secure boot that can't be disabled and relies on keys burned into silicon that you can't change because you lack the technology to do so), regulation needs to happen to enable fair competition among iOS apps.

In other words, no one needed to enable competition when adversarial interoperability was possible. It is not possible on iOS devices because of combination of secure boot and code signing policies.
whoof. what an ugly trip!

i’ve interacted with the author, who wrote a very nice spike sorting package called `phy` that i used several years back (and iirc turned me off using hdf5 as a result), and came away very impressed with what was so obviously a sharp mind. very odd to recognize the name in a totally other context. Not very pleasant to hear about such a rough time either!
Americans in HCOL locations have a third option to Europe, and that is the rest of the United States. RoUS provides close to a factor of two cost savings, you speak the language, same level of bureaucracy, close (enough) to family, similar enough culture to be comforting but with enough differences to make it interesting (desert Southwest, Deep South, New England, Florida Keys, Midwest, Appalachia, PNW, Intermountain West, Alaska, Hawaii, Texas…). Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean a drive/cruise away and provide their own long term opportunities. The United States is much more culturally diverse than the few places Europeans choose to visit for extended stays.

The United States offers a political stability that Europe has yet to demonstrate long-term (cherry-picking here, but let’s say over the last 150 years, two modern lifetimes). The comic opera/snuff film of European wars in the 1900s did provide 104366 young Americans with a forced permanent relocation to Europe. Not a positive memory for Americans.

And Americans can develop a community in the United States that achieves many of the charming aspects of European life. Americans have both the freedom and gumption to do that, if they wish. Americans are not limited by land nor resources, intellectual, cultural or otherwise, nor vision.

> Competition is the natural state of affairs.

This is not even remotely true. Economies of scale mean that power accumulates and monopolies emerge, and monopolies are the antithesis of competition. In order to ensure competition, you need regulation to shake the jar regularly.
It's currently happening. Try using YouTube or Google Search on the desktop with, for example, MS Edge. Google will tell you you should download Chrome to work better.

The only reason that's not the case on iOS devices is that they don't have that option.

The hard part. Finding a product people want.

If that were so easy, Amazon would just be a store, no sellers. That part they can't do themselves.

Because Amazon allows publishers to choose to sell eBooks without DRM. If an eBook sold in the Kindle store has DRM, the publisher chose to have it that way.
That's a fair consideration, and I don't have an immediate answer to that. Except to say that Apple could have gotten behind the opening up of iOS themselves, retaining some measure of control and protecting their users:

> Really, Apple could have headed off regulators at the pass if they had embraced the (semi-)opening of their platform themselves. Allow third party app stores but on their own terms, providing SDKs and APIs for creating your own iOS App Store with security checks baked in and mandating privacy protections built in. Sort of like a software services equivalent to Apple Authorized Service Providers and Apple Authorized Resellers.

They would have then controlled this debate, and there would have been less room for the Epics of the world to complain about the platform being locked down. Not to mention users would benefit from greater choice. Imagine boutique third party app stores springing up devoted to specific interests and niches such as F-Droid, or promising better curation or quality.

Companies who refuse to use the AppStoreKit that Apple so beneficently provided would then be seen as malefactors seeking to subject their users to lack of privacy and security, rather than Apple trying to uphold their 30% cut and restrictive behavior.

Instead, Apple tried to control everything and not only did they expose themselves to regulation like this, they deal with customers annoyed at scammy apps on their own App Store, and third party devs crying foul at inconsistent policing.

I mean, I think there's still time for them to try something like this. Embrace alternative app stores and building the infrastructure to enable them, rather than just throwing open the doors and letting the wolves swarm "because the EU made us do it." In fact I can see this scenario happening because the motivation would be to prove openness is inherently dangerous.
in my lifetime, Americans have been steadily losing their taste for not just gamy but other strong flavors as well. Endives used to be just plain bitter, for people who liked bitter, now you can safely put them in a kid's salad. It's sad. And I think other cultures are and will keep losing their tastes too; I've noticed for instance, that not all Chinese like chowing down on all the weird parts of animals, and Europe has plenty of the same "supermarket cheese" that Americans have.

On the plus side, worldwide people have expanded their palates a lot in a way that increases the range and diversity of what they eat, but in terms of the globalized ingredients we can lay our hands on there is still a general regression toward a very mean mean.
It is not a pro consumer stance, it is pro power consumer stance, and anti the layperson consumer stance (who arguably deserve more support).
Networking doesn't necessarily make a job search itself easier. What it does is make it less likely you ever need to search. People will let you know when opportunities arise, or invite you to join them on projects. So you end up actually searching less often.

As far as how to do it, just do your work well, treat people well, and be the kind of person they want on their teams in the future.

The worst part here is: He spent months researching 500 medical papers to even realize this was a problem. No way in hell will a single defense lawyer get someone to be able to research enough to figure this out. As stated, how many people are in jail or lost their kids due to something that didn't actually happen. And how many people don't know that a minor bump in the head for a baby could be life threatening, but we just mark it as SIDS. And even worse, no medical doctor will go this hard trying to figure out how to defend a person they believe murdered a baby.

It is the perfect combination of crap.

Another book with a similar premise is " Breaking Things at Work:The Luddites Are Right About Why You Hate Your Job"
https://www.versobooks.com/products/688-breaking-things-at-w...

This book came out in 2021, so there's definitely a trend to look back at the Luddites, investigate what their movement and actions were about, and apply some of those ideas to today. I actually just happened to pick this up in a local bookshop on a whim this weekend, but haven't read it yet.
I've read a fair amount of Ballard's work and I think really like his prose. It was particularly interesting to read his autobiographical 'The kindness of women' which does a lot to explain the themes that recurr in his work. If you haven't read any of his work, I recommend starting with some of his short stories, such as "The drowned giant". Probably give 'The atrocity exhibition' and 'Crash' a miss, at least until you have read some of his other work.
The huge downside is that VAT is taking money from businesses regardless of whether profit is made or not. Cooperate Tax is fair; it is taxing on profits made. VAT, on the other hand, is not. We should not tax a transaction where a struggling customer is paying a struggling business.
I'm so so so glad Clay Shirky gave me this idea of thinking of where human potential gets channeled. I think the notion was out before this article (in talks), but here's one from 2008, Gin, Television, and Social Surplus, that says it well enough. "http://web.archive.org/web/20080708220257/http://www.shirky....

There's a gradient here of interactivity. Gilligan's Island was almost purely passive; broadcast television, albeit yes it was a social phenomenon we'd talk about at the office or with friends.

On the other end, there was this kind of idolized view that the online world was a receptacle for interactivity, that we could all be actively engaged. Oh, look at the wikipedia discourse around deciding what to do about the no-longer-a-planet Pluto. A mass of people deciding how to update the article. Wikipedia was a sink for engagement, and some of that was a productive use of human surplus. It idealized the tale, because so much wikipedia usage is passive, but even then: it's self directed, enriching. An available use of human capacity that seems so vastly much better than watching Gilligans Island.

In some ways, things like Factorio are much more like Gilligan's Island than using (activley or passively) Wikipedia. Are the same kind of broadcast programming. But I still think there's a kind of mental engagement here that's different, that's better than where we were. Clicking the mouse is engagement, if not productive engagement, in a way that's different to me from receivership. The brain may be doing useless loops, but it's still an active participant. Being sharp doesn't innately count for anything, but I think that allure of places to reward the brain for being sharp count for something, that they suggest the value & reward of using one's potential. And I think that keeps many from being dull, from rusting out into lower potentials. I think it encodes the positive value system of trying.
What dumpster did they dive in to find N5100s? I had to check my calendar... It was slow part even at release (samples were out end of 2020) time. And software has not exactly shrunk since..
>let’s ignore the macOS elephant in the room

The worst experiences on macOS come from companies with enough clout to piss on the standard mechanisms. Installing their BS installers, having "updaters" to run on the background, not shipping a DMG or PKG, asking you to disable the SIP, never bothering to update to newer APIs, not using the Mac App Store, and so on...

(and it's usually some of the more expensive software)
But as an app developer, I have no choice, Apple will act like they own my relationship with my users despite having done absolutely nothing for it.
Valve had a 17 years or so time to develop a launcher b4 Epic entered the market. And even if their laucher would be bad, its just where the people are, where they have their collection, they do not want to leave it. Its actually not such much about how good Steam is, its about the time advantage Valve has.

And of course they have the better launcher. But now they are soo big, and they have such a de-facto monopoly that Epic had to go to extreme measures to get some market share. And that is using Fortnite kids parents money to give out free games all the time while actually paying the devs for the games and pay massive amounts of money to devs for exclusive deals. Its all money they have from Fortnite and (Chinese) investors. That also sucks but its better then just one store in town. Bethshitsda has given up on their own distribution and they are back 100% on Steam and they just suck it up and pay the 30% because they failed to compete, no surprise there.

I actually think the situations are pretty similar. Except that there is not even a open door to try to compete with the Apples Appstore right now. But they both take 30% and everyone is basically forced to pay it. Game devs can not just release on Epic. They must release on Steam and they must then pay 30% to Valve. If you release a mobile app you must release on Apple and Google play and they take 30%, its the same thing. Even thou there are other stores like Amazons shitty store you are just forced to publish on Google/Apple.

I just hope one day decentralization is so mainstream and consumers just buy from creators directly or some blockchain or something without a gatekeeper middlemen that sucks 30% off.

The 1e53 kg estimate is based on the observable universe (radius 46 Gly) being flat, and ordinary matter being 4.8% of what's keeping it flat.[1]

What about as consumers then? Without workers who's going to buy anything? We have some serious logistics to figure out if we automate the majority of jobs away, and yet somehow all these companies are expecting people to still be able to buy their products.
The shift you're describing in #3 needs to happen. But it doesn't have to be all at once. We can start practicing now and let it be "pretend" until we're comfortable enough with it to start turning our backs on the real economy in favor of the alternative.

CirclesUBI is an attempt at getting that alternative rolling. It ain't perfect but I think it's a good start.
Costco sells New Zealand Lamb for $6.99 lb. It's Grass Fed and cheaper than their Steak. I don't know if I'm making it correctly but I put like 4 of those little chops on the Barbecue for a few minutes and OMG they are delicious. Took me a little to acquire a taste but now it's my favorite meat.
I agree with everything you said in general, and I also enjoy good titles. Do you feel like the article substantiated the quote? I don’t think it even came close. Where does it link a “lust” for certainty with lying?

This is admittedly a subtle point, but I’d be perfectly fine with starting the article with the same quote, attributed to someone, as a decorative introduction. That’s a pretty common writing device. (And importantly in that case, the quote doesn’t need to be substantiated.) It’s just using it for the title in this case that rubs me the wrong way.

Using the word “lies” is almost never good, especially when you are explicitly criticizing someone or something. IMO using “lies” is more or less equivalent to your example “number 4 will shock you”, use of that word is designed to invoke the same response. They stopped a hair short of literally stating Google is lying, but the implication combined with the first line of the article is very strong. One real problem with such an implication is that it may itself be wrong. It’s presuming active dishonesty when the problem could easily be a mistake. When putting these things together with the article’s misuse of the Y axis to again make emotional but not necessarily accurate points, I still think “clickbait” is warranted here - this writing is being a tiny bit manipulative.

Here are the 50 best rated lamb dishes.

https://www.tasteatlas.com/50-best-rated-lamb-dishes-in-the-...

Not sure how trustworthy this list is. It is missing one of my favourites, kavurma.
Mutton doesn't fit much our western traditional cooking esthetics where we want tasty but subtle. Lamb and mutton are for different types of recipes. As a french guy selling and importing high end food in South East Asia, I've tasted quite a wide array of lambs.

The best lamb is young, but not too young. I'm not a fan of milk-fed lamb where I feel there is quite no taste. The right balance is slaughtered at around 90 to 150 days old. Agneau de Sisteron is a gem. You don't need to be highly skilled to cook it. For cutlets, just pan sear until pink inside. For roast and leg, oven, basted with salt olive oil, some garlic cloves inserted inside the meat. It's truly magnificent.

The older the animal, the bolder the recipes it needs. The best lamb/mutton I've ever had was in Marocco, a slow roasted lamb in honey and almonds. So tender it was served from the bone with a spoon. You'll notice that mutton is always cooked in a way to counter balance the strong muttony flavour and sublime it with contrasts. Mutton curries are also delicious for the same reason.
Great! I'll try it the next time I'm flying SW. Out of curiosity, is this open source? What are you using to achieve this? Puppeteer?

1. Because you will piss off would-be users. That simple. I have also complained about this endlessly. I also despise Tcl and had to use it to help automate lots of EDA tools in ASIC and FPGA designs, so I'm with you on this. But it isn't a hard question to answer in reality. Users will just be annoyed and think you are annoying and contrarian. (Nextpnr at least allows scripting with Python, and I'd ideally like to see other takes on synthesis in the next few years, thanks to more robust language frontends coming along.)

1.1. It is not "just scripting ABC", but ignoring that. I assume it's because Claire just liked C++. She was historically an embedded/hardware engineer. A lot of them like C++. But I can't read anyone's mind. The project is like, probably 15 years old now (the initial Git checkins from 2013 aren't even full replications of the real history, to my knowledge, which go further back into an ancient SVN server.) What would you have suggested using in 2010? Python with zero static typing and pip?

2. Because actually owning the code you write and ship to your users is a nice and good thing. Dreamplace is a DL-reinforced placer. It's an academic project. Having rode that bull (shipping academic code to production users and then having to rework it again and again), realistically, I'd probably reimplement Dreamplace directly into the codebase if I wanted to ship features to users. No offense but this isn't a SaaS service where the sausage machine is hidden; and most RTL engineers, nor I, want to install some giant annoying shitware ML stack into a python virtualenv to run Nextpnr. Just to be clear, if yosys uses some magical ML reinforcement learning, or doesn't, I don't care. It would be great if it did and it got a bajillion % higher QoR. But I don't want actually using the thing to be a giant pain in the ass.

Most open source software engineering isn't about being Super Epic. It's about meeting users where they are at and handling basic engineering constraints around the project. EDA is no different.
I think the compensation comes in the form of lower prices, greater availability of the products, a higher standard of living and newly gained freedom for the worker. They can do something else now. The compensation maybe isn't as explicit or obvious as receiving an "automation dividend" check every month. That's what securities are for!
Networking is infinitely more valuable than any other element in terms of career success.

I'd say that among the highest paid people in the world, only a small percentage of them have some special specific skill, but ALL of them have huge, high-valued networks which served them very well during their ascent to the top.

The issue is you can't just be naïve and try to meet as many people as possible like some sort of heuristic hustle agent. The best networks are formed via shared deep
experiences, ala:

1. College alumni

2. Company alumni

3. Romantic relationships

4. Childhood friends

5. Strong friendships via serendipitous happenstance

Any other case you can only get good results from networking if you already have some 99.9th percentile product or skill.
