What’s your explanation for Japan doing the same to Apple? It’s hardly only the EU who has them (and Google, and the rest of Big Tech) in their crosshairs.

> regular people who use smart phones

That’s the beauty of it. I’m not convinced that ‘regular people’ are going to have the patience to deal with Meta forcing them to get and manage yet another damn account to use Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp. Just a terrible hurdle that will cause FB to shed a non-zero number of users, at a time where their DAU has not been hot, never mind their long term growth potential.

Without a compelling reason for them to join (free Oculuses? Oculii?) you can’t expect users to be forced to sign up for yet another account- not to mention most people are aware at the invasiveness of Meta- and remain quiet. Users already have more streaming services than they can handle, they’re not going to have the patience to juggle multiple app store accounts, just to get the same apps they already have!

Forcing users to adopt a new walled garden right away is going to inspire mass consumer backlash right away. And that will cause regulators to weigh in immediately, data gathering operation or no data gathering op.

I just don’t see Meta having the product or marketing stones to pull this off. Their last thing with positive buzz is what, Threads? Something dependent on the failure of another’s platform? And that only lasted for like a week.
I am pointing out that your example includes risk transference. Unless they also charged you for shipping, storage, and returns.

There is a difference between "let me buy from you and I need room to make a profit" and "you can sell through me but you bear all costs but I still want my profit".
I am not OP but what you are discussing is much higher level stuff. Problems of "rights" in India are totally twisted and far more primal that a typical western mind wont be able to grasp at all.

Imagine a "right to education" law that mandates that a school can not fill up empty classrooms even if it has capacity and even if it offering it to needy students for free. It is a complete looney beans land.

Yeah, but at the end of the day the serial bus seems to work well enough.

Power delivery is wonky, but it’s pretty rare, bordering on never for me anyway, to plug in a peripheral and not have it just work.

Ultimately it was the need to buy a new phone every couple of years even when I otherwise wouldn't need to that pushed me to Apple devices. I only this year had to replace my daughter's iPhone 7, but not because it wasn't supported as a 4 year old device. Granted it won't get iOS 16 or 17 but 15 is still supported.
Flick the wall switch twice. That’ll power cycle it and it defaults to on (although you can configure that, too).

FWIW, I think I just experienced a similar problem when updating Firefox Nightly from 119 to 120 (on macOS): I see light mode instead of my non-default theme, even though about:addons shows it is still selected.

Update: I hit bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1855151 in Nightly 120. The timing of two theme bugs after updating Firefox is suspicious, but this bug would not affect ESR 115.
Basically you cannot. Big tech companies do not offer support or even a meaningful way to supply feedback. Bug reports are right out. Engineers don't get promoted for taking feedback or fixing bugs.
> Every generation laughs at all the stupid stuff the previous generations believed, and then acts so confident that they’ve got it right this time.

Voltaire (1694-1778) wrote a satirical account of a medieval university's oral examination on medicine: the examiner asks why morphine puts people to sleep, and the student confidently replies that morphine has a "dormative essence". This is a bit like saying that things with an essence of gravity fall towards the earth, whereas things with an essence of levity float towards the sky. The examiner proudly accepts that answer and bestows upon the student the title of doctor.

This was very funny to anyone educated in the time Voltaire was writing, since they would have known that morphine puts people to sleep because... it has round molecules with no sharp edges...

It can be argued (I think effectively) that we don’t know how to make non-general purpose computers. We can kind of fake it by putting blocking software in the way, but you can’t have math that only works when the data isn’t copyrighted.
Livestock in AU and NZ is grass-fed almost exclusively. I know in the US they often feed their cattle corn, is it the same for sheep?
To expand a bit with some examples: the energy a photon in a standing wave in a specific cavity can have is quantised. But a photon out in space can have any old energy it wants to. (Of course, a given energy level will correspond to a specific wave length etc.)

Similar, an electron in a single isolated atom has specific quantised energy levels. But if you look at the electrons in a hunk of copper, they are essentially free to absorb and emit energy in almost arbitrary amounts.

An even stronger example is time: as far as I am aware, time is not quantised in any of our accepted theories.

There's some reasonable speculation that ultimately everything is quantised at the Planck scale, including time. But that's just a very reasonable hunch, not something that 'physics has shown'. (And you already point out that trying to marry quantum mechanics with general relativity is a hot mess.)

I agree that 'quantisation all the way down' is the way to bet. But that's just speculation.

(But I strongly disagree with your claim that physics is build on integers. Yes, it might be discretised, but there are plenty of discrete structures that are not integers. Look at a Rubik's cube for a simple example. On top of that: almost any real world measurement is better described by a probability distribution than by single number, be that an integer or otherwise.)

How is Apple a monopoly? iPhones are less than 20% of phones sold in the world. Samsung sells more phones than Apple.
I agree that it goes much much deeper than TSMC, but it's a bit dismissive to call TSMC "one fab". It's the leading edge fab and deeply ingrained in a very large number and wide variety of supply chains in a way that Intel and Samsung are not at the moment.
Stay tuned...!?
You know nothing about markets or real life market engagement if you blindly believe "competition is always good for consumers".

There are costs to competition, inherently. Competition is only of benefit to consumers if they capture the more of the new surplus utility generated by competition than they capture the new costs.

There will be marketing costs, there will be the costs of the data policies of these new models, there will be time that consumers have to spend becoming engaged in the market for not only software but also the market for markets for software, they will have to understand a greater amount of technical details of how these software marketplaces perform on their devices.

Now, these costs can be paid internally or externally. And guess what... corps always want these to be externalised. So the user/society can pay these costs and they can rack up unearnt surplus.
Your 9% number is impossible as at least 10% comes from purely beef production. 25% of ground beef is old cow meat, and it isn’t sold at grocery store meat sections. It ends up in processed foods and fast food. It is legally beef, but that is about all you can say about it.

Those fullfillment fees are nothing new. I worked for a publisher thirty years ago and they had a similar network of fees.
The only difference was they were predictable in that the fee schedule changed only at time of contract renewal.

Whats different is that the fulfillment centers then couldn't see our books and weren't looking over our shoulder seeing our accounting figures, so as to grab the profits the moment it crossed the threshold of feasiblility.

Uber was easy and profitable in the beginning and clearly a superior value to car services and cabs. Many drivers took on debt to buy bigger better cars, never imagining the goalposts were adjustable by design so as to centralize all the profits.

Ukraine has bio labs, funded by the US and operated by Ukraine.

There is also proof and testimony that the US funded the Wuhan lab also.

“They're looking at pathogens that infect humans and animals with an emphasis on those that are endemic to Ukraine, Anthrax, tularemia, tuberculosis, botulism, classic swine fever, Crimean hemorrhagic fever, avian flu, those types of things.”

Just like Wuhan was just checking out some crazy bat strain. I don’t know what “Gain of Function” is.

But again your definition of “people” is the general population and they aren’t the ones hiring and firing journalists.

The Panama Papers were a huge story, they won a Pulitzer! If you’re a journalist of course a story like that is going to open doors.
Indeed, the consequences would be huge.

Which is why such a thing isn't going to happen.

China makes a lot of bold statements but it never follows through on them.

Whats going to happen with Taiwan is the same thing that has been happening for 70 years.

China will say a lot of mean words but ultimately not do anything, and Taiwan will remain as it is now. An independent country.
Yes, "propaganda" like information about the Uighur Genocide and facts about Ukrainian civilians fleeing a war-torn country (an undeniable reality irrespective of what Russia's reasons for invading Ukraine were to begin with).
Here's a random tweet that I believe foreshadows the future:

"I hate AI but also I've had the most insightful conversations with it about writing. It has been more honest, helpful and playful in workshopping story ideas than any real human I know. It's like chatting with a room full of actual writers and the value of that can't be ignored."

I've seen similar sentiment from a few digital artists. Those who are very anti-AI will get left behind and be outcompeted by more productive AI users. There will be a lot of disruption. We should think how to best support people whose jobs will be irreplaceably lost because of AI. There is only so much content that the market wants. Eventually we should get some form of UBI as more and more people are affected.
It is, but it is mostly an issue with not having enough resources for the prebuilt images. They haven’t released a package installer for Sonoma yet, but AIUI the minimal required fixes have been in the MacPorts core for several weeks.

There are likely to be more issues related to Apple's switch to the `prime` linker.

(I’m a port contributor and am on macports-users where this issue has come up twice. There is what I think is excessive concern about the macOS beta NDA preventing the creation of a package installer until after GA when it no longer applies. A bigger problem is the availability of sufficient build hardware as they have a smallish Mac mini multi-booting into 11, 12, and 13.)

The whole feral vs wild animal thing is kind of interesting once you know about it. Until a few years ago, I had no idea that most of the deer in my country are an invasive japanese species that were introduced a few hundred years ago by one guy who thought they looked cool. (as a result, hunting is pretty straightforward. Both permits and stalking wise.)

I've been wondering for a while about doves that people hunt/eat, and the much more common type of dove (rock dove/domestic pigeon) which I presume nobody wants to consume due to its diet and the whole "flying rat" taboo.

Show HN: User journey automations in 3 lines via an NPM package
Hi HN. Many year ago, my employer encouraged me to work on functional programming and open source some of things I was building. Thanks to that open minded outlook, I became the author of a leading open-source Apache Kafka client (wire protocols FTW). I was privileged to see scale of nearly a billion events a day through the systems I designed and maintained. I was ecstatic seeing the many large companies using it, many of whom continue to use it 8 years on.

Over these 8 years, personal and startup challenges also IMO gifted me two super powers: (1) "super high empathy". Seasoned Devs who can empathize with new engineers are an asset. If you are like, you will have no qualms going from scale of billions, down to a micro instance for a startup with 0 traffic. No problem. That's where I saw distribution of another kind, being required. (2) getting good at things that I spend a lot of time on. (be it a new language/market/product/xyz)

I've also grown to like building full stack and React. Which led me to realise how frontend engineers or indiehackers can't hit the ground running with simple yet powerful tools at their disposal for growth and events - particularly user journey mapping.

Temporal and Inngest come to mind, but I tried them out. I think there is room for other light weight & opinionated offerings. I liked dittofeed - but nocode flowcharts don't bode well with complexity. And I don't remember any devtool that uses nocode after a few months/years.

I want to build a suite of tools that would help indiehackers and startups launch their SaaS faster. Where you can just import a SaaS feature. And hence the name ImportSaaS.

I've created 3 packages so far, two of them are:

@softwareasaservice/dashboard lets you create OpenAI'esque customer dashboards in a minute. It's not production ready yet. More on this maybe at a later point.

@softwareasaservice/events. Today, I'm releasing another handy utility, again open source and available on npm immediately, that lets you trigger events, wait for others and build journeys in a few lines of code. in-memory for now, but will support setting/getting events to/from s3 or a db soon.

SaaS starter and boilerplate kits have been around forever. But this is something I can see myself spending the rest of my life doing. Because if a great team is chasing a trend-tolerant idea, and spending time to make indiehackers/saas startups launch faster, and grow their users - I think that's a win:win.

The first example on @softwareasaservice/events, shows how you can run 5 automations from a user submitting an email; to reminding to signup, to verify email with exponential backoff, create posts - all in a few lines of code. Do check it out. I'm willing to help integrate/build missing features as well. Email on my profile.

Thanks HN.

>The sale wouldn't exist without anyone in the pipeline (Amazon, manufacturer in China, shipping merchant, etc.)

I think it's actually worse than that. The merchant is the only party that is not needed.

In fact, calling a lot of these folks "merchants" at this point is probably a little too generous. Amazon is the merchant. Many of these other guys are sourcing and marketing "partners" for Amazon and the manufacturers.

Every day billions of devices use USB for charging and data transfer and work just fine.. was there some government intervention that jumped in to make that work that I am unfamiliar with?

Soaps had lye that would've washed away the seasoning on the pan. Today's common dish detergents do not, so this is just advice that used to be helpful, but it isn't anymore.

Some people are stuck in their ways, never really understood why they shouldn't use soap in the first place, or didn't notice that the soap they grew up with is different from today's dish detergents... I think there's a lesson to be learned here about re-evaluating our assumptions every so often and not doing things just because that's how they've always been done.

> So you can have pro-competitive behavior (lower price) that balances out anti-competitive behavior

Defeating competitors with lower prices is pro competitive, not anti competitive.

It is exactly what competition is supposed to do.

> why do the other anti-competitive behaviors?

Notice how I made no comment on anything to do with vague "other behavior".

Instead I was only directly responding to the idea of "undercutting" competitors.

This is competitive and the whole purpose of competition.

Undercutting competitors and copying them is the only thing I was responding to.

So my point stands.

That thing is pro competitive.

Go back and read the comment that I responded to here:

Yes, it is. I just brought it up because it's an important factor when talking about the need for additional symbols.
