In my opinion, as an ex-employee, Amazon is intentionally abusive to its sellers, content creators, customers, and employees. I'll never buy or sell anything on Amazon again (or patron their related businesses, like Zappos, Abe Books, etc.), but I hope this lawsuit changes things for those who do.
That is absolutely not true. The other available package managers would work 70% of the time on a good day. Homebrew is bulletproof on a current OS.
Yes, multiple Unity scenes can be loaded at the same time overlaying each other. Physics can optionally be local to a single scene too.

You also don't need to parent objects to the camera for UI. Not sure how it used to be in the past.
Go sell in Temu or Walmart. No one is stopping you.
These cases aren't nearly as rare as the medical system would have you believe. Go to a residential psych hospital for kids, or a day treatment program for level 3 or 4 EBD children, and you'll see a bunch of them, many of whom have been languishing there for years.

These kids are are more of an ugly and inconvenient truth that the medical world would prefer to ignore, so these kids get chucked over the wall to the mental health system instead, which is better prepared to simply lock them up and quarantine them from the rest of society.

For the most part, I think doctors want to work mostly with helpless and grateful children, who willingly submit to tests and follow orders, not angry, aggressive children who claw and bite you no matter what you do or say. If you don't "behave" then medicine doesn't want you. Go see a shrink.

This is part of why I hate the term "behavioral health," because the emphasis is on restoring compliance. There was a movement in the 90's to rebrand "mental health" as "behavioral health" in order to make it seem more reputable and science-y, but I think that move back-fired. I think we delivered more compassionate care when the emphasis was on trying to some notion of a person's healthy subjective mental state, rather than trying to get them to behave.
I’m not sure if you’re insinuating Jobs would not have shipped a thermally deficient device, but the Intel MacBook Pros were a glaring example of that.
yes, i thought the article substantiated the quote pretty well, though i get the feeling that i did not interpret the "lies" in the title the same way you did. i read it more as "something incorrect" than as a necessarily deliberate falsehood, and what the title was saying as "if you want 'certainty' then you need to be simplistic and reductive enough that you are discarding any hope of an actually correct answer".
By some miracle, the seven-year old version of Slate continues to work with each new macOS update. I'm dreading the day that breaks, although I'm also worried about security vulnerabilities that might exist in it already.
I totally understand that!

In fact, this comment made me remember that I’ve had a color filter accessibility setting in iOS that lets me turn the screen to grayscale.

Kind of a trip to use a modern smartphone like this, but also kind of… relaxing in a weird way.

Settings -> Accessibility -> Display & Text Size -> Color Filters

You can even set a shortcut to quickly toggle them on and off.
I went to the wikipedia page, which is kinda the point. No other OS requires you too look it up. Even WatchOS and iOS directly use version numbers.

Saying it's due to NextStep integration sounds like a strange defense of this naming strategy (if that was your intention). They have version numbers, but they decide to use the "code name" as a product name.
I can only but hope that she can do this, if anyone can I think she can.

The thing that cracks me up are yuppies caring for their cast iron skillet like it’s a newborn baby. “You can’t use soap on it… You can’t treat it like that… To maintain it you must…”

I promise that generations of dirt poor Southerners had bigger things to worry about than following Alton Brown’s directions for cast iron maintenance.
Perhaps the more salient question is how we got locked into only eating a handful of animals. That's kind of strange when you think about it.
"on the kindle".

They have a web based kindle app. They have apps for android, iphone, pc, mac and probably 10 other things I'm unaware of.
Apple spends very little money lobbying. For example, they don't appear in Open Secrets's top lobbying firms: https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/top-spenders?cy...

I’m not sure but I feel the need for some legislation to force large companies to provide human-to-human contact in the event of a dispute.

Even in the world of Brazil, the 1988 movie, there were humans somewhere in the mix.
So you do see downsides but you are personally willing to live with them?
I propose libertarian socialism or Anarchism, either the left-wing market variant or the communist variant.
Meta/TikTok do less spying on customers, so it is harder to target ads to customers on iOS. This is the desired behavior. It means people who want to use targeted ads (called "the FB/IG/TikTok to Shopify connection" by the GP) are not able to.
I don't think Amazon could destroy apple or Walmart just for kicks.

Aramco? Air Canada? Samsung? Memory Express? Digikey? McMaster Carr? McDonald's? The Big R? Cantillion? Texas Instruments?

"Show me a business" is quite vague
Apple has never been as big in lobbying as those are. Or as cooperative with various governments and state agencies.

Plus, they have those angles covered by token "open" BS like Android allowing sideloading, despite having total dominance on far more crucial for consumers and the economy in general areas that their OS, leaving Apple to be targeted.
Useless tests - PCR only works for the new variants. Even Lucira [0], which got acquired by Pfizer and kinda discontinued, is still useless.

How much lifting are dumbbells sapping the world of?
Yes, sir. I appreciate that. I think you made that very clear in the book as well. I'll agree that having OP's tooling back then would likely have been quite useful to you and others. I'm often terrible with words. What I meant to say was: thank you for writing the book. Your story has been an important part of my family's lives for three generations (your work is also mentioned 3 times in my ℍ𝕪𝕡𝕖𝕣𝔱𝔢𝔵𝔱, and, prominently in my record of reaching out to others out of the blue [I've a habit of knocking on doors with low success rates]). Never thought I'd have the chance to say that to you. =D. `/salute`. Thank you, sir.
I remember this being a huge issue with MacPorts. It would never keep up with the damn releases, so if you were working on a beta OS, you were hosed until they caught up.
I do eat mutton. It's my favorite kind of meat. The flavor is fantastic and it goes well in all kinds of dishes.
Having had both, I find it hard to tell the difference, but they're usually served in pretty strongly flavored sauces.

My T43 was the best laptop I ever owned. My son still runs Raspbian on it.
Oh I definitely agree companies are in violation of the law.

It's enforced by the California AG, and you can complain to them directly.

I didn't know about the AT&T business plan limitation. If it's a mass plan, that's a violation. Enterprise plans are largely exempted.
Apple limited data from being transferred between apps. So you can’t measure whether your ad being clicked in one app resulted in a purchase in another app (aka. a “conversion”). That throws a big wrench into ad pricing, because the sellers want to pay-per-conversion. It hurt companies like Snap, Shopify. Since Amazon owns both the search/discovery and checkout in the same app, this doesn’t affect them.

Also, Apple didn’t limit their own advertisers from measuring conversions. So if you click an ad in Apple News and then buy an app from the App Store they will measure and charge the advertiser for that conversion without ever popping up a scary message saying Apple wants to track you. Go figure.

The companies have worked around these issues by doing stuff like statistical modeling to guess the conversion rate, but this has obvious downsides and makes everything harder, which puts them at a competitive disadvantage vs. vertically-integrated players like Apple and Amazon.
Phones are the way of interacting with much of the world, unlike xbox or McDonalds. People consume their news using them, pay their bills, make photos of their kids, communicate with their family. It's a completely different realm.

There are two oligopolies on the market - Google (via google play) and Apple (via apple store), both are affected by the law.
>shouldn’t it be on the AI company to train using legally acquired content in the first place

I don't think so. It's not illegal to look at or learn from copyrighted materials. If you start producing the materials it becomes a different question. I think the same applies to AI.

> that hardy costs 30% of a games profits.

It's more than that. It's 30% of a games revenues. Could very well end up being more than the entire profit of an app/game. Insane to me that if the devs costs are more than 40% of revenue apple makes more off the app than the dev does.
I don’t understand. By 1:1 ratio you mean every single swipe is a match? How do you accomplish that in the first place? You would either need to have a ton of likes or know beforehand if you’ve been liked by that person, no?
Exactly this. As certain types of jobs go away it frees us to do new ones. When we had an agrarian society there weren’t many massage parlors around even though they probably could have used them.

Additionally as programming languages and toolkits have become higher level and more accessible there has been more demand for programmers.
Hey HN,

Excited to share PineOx, our new app designed to fight global warming by making pine tree planting a social experience. PineOx combines the elements of tracking personal carbon footprints with social networking features. Users can host and join planting events, earn karma for their eco-actions, and most importantly, become more aware of their impact on our environment.

Would love feedback, especially from fellow environmentally-conscious tech enthusiasts. If you're interested in the tech stack, happy to dive into that too.

To join it now you'll need an invite code. You can use this one:
THBY4V

P.S. For every person who registers, we plant a pine tree in their name and add it to personal profile.
None of the first two screens of hits explain what changes the DMA will force Apple to make. Did you find a document that does?
Apple is trying to prevent familial and household abuse where people install invasive software on devices of household members to spy on them or otherwise take away their privacy and freedoms.

What solution would
you suggest? Just look the other way?
There are often just bad ceo hires. It’s not always about picking the best tool for the best situation sometimes it’s just some dude that padded his resume the best, and got lucky to be in the right place at the right time who was likable by the right group on the board. There are a lot of duds out there that come in talk a big game and then leave a mess in their wake.
In blues case though this guy was hand chosen by Besos so the only property that matters is being liked by Jeff. So who knows what he saw in him.
It maybe also had to do with Flash being one of the most insecure pieces of software ever devised?

It also had to do with Macromedia, at the time the iPhone was released, not giving every platform equal support? So Apple might have been in the position of negotiating with Adobe to get them to support iPhone? I can hardly blame them for pushing open standards like HTML5 and their own app store instead.

I honestly would give them more shit for moves like not supporting WebP seemingly to spite Google.
To sell to who? If no one has income, who buys the things?
I love your attitude, but I think your mental model is wrong. I think many people don't like lamb (and can't stand mutton) simply because of the way it tastes. My one-time fiancee grew up on a (meat) sheep farm in Manitoba. With her, I've toured sheep stations in Australia and New Zealand. I've been offered and eaten it as a local specialty all around the world---I just don't like the flavor.

Sure, a preparation can make it taste less like lamb, but (for me) I don't think it can make it taste good. I'll always prefer beef. The closest I've come to liking it is Gyro meat, and that's usually half beef, and even then, I'm sure I'd like it more without the lamb. Just last month I had to force myself to finish some homemade golubki (cabbage rolls) made with half lamb and half pork that I otherwise would have found fantastic.

One theory is that it depends on what you grew up with, but I don't think that's true either. I grew up eating primarily (deer) venison, and never came to like it either. Later in life I've tried a whole lot of other big game meats, and haven't really liked them either. The major exception was (black) bear, which I first had as an adult and thought would be terrible, but it turned out to be incredibly delicious. Whale can be pretty good too, but I don't feel right eating it.

I personally think the correct theory is that some people are sensitive to the flavors of different proteins, and that those who are most sensitive are least likely to like lamb. A competing theory is that everyone tastes it but some simply like that flavor. It would be interesting to arrange a dilution test to see which of these hypotheses is closer to true. I don't think the "just haven't had it prepared right" hypothesis has much going for it.
I have an AMD 6700xt.

It was laggy in Windows and under X11 on linux, but under Wayland I get 60-80fps and it's very usable.

Not sure what the cause is

EDIT: Under Chromium (compiled from AUR) the performance is roughly the same
What's stopping AMD from implementing CUDA?

The real lesson we should be taking from the Luddites is while they did establish a precedent for fighting for worker's rights, they failed in any meaningful way to reverse the march of technology. In fact throughout history we have never managed to put the technology genie back in the bottle, probably going back to the first tools and weapons that were ever created. So we had better figure out real quick how we are going to live with AI, because there is no going back now.
Yeah I got a question, will this run on my NES? It's a refurbished front-loader, mostly original parts, but I did add some more RAM (I hot glued it to the top), and also I painted the case red and attached a few army men to it.
I'm a Boox device owner and can confirm they declined my request for the GPL source code.
I used to get lamb chops at Albertson's in college (it must not have been expensive since I was dirt poor) and it tasted really great. Like kind of a spicier tasting steak. It definitely wasn't gamey at all.
Ok, so do you endorse slavery cause its human nature? What is your point? 50 million out of over 8 billion is much better ratio than what was in some societies based on slavery.
Especially for $500. If I pay $500 maybe that’s a good deal if it saves me time and money on bad dates. But Tinder is incentivized to give me the best date that isn’t quite good enough.
Nix does not require you to be an administrator to install a package though!
This is FUD. Sideloading has not resulted in any of those things on Android.
Yes. A better question is why haven’t they taken action yet?
No, I also have no clue, but it's no more annoying than keeping track of which Ubuntu version is called something inane like Jaunty Jackalope.
It’s pretty reasonable to believe whatever action it takes will be a long ways away, a period during which the user experience will suffer. You don’t have to believe they’ll never act; you just have to believe they’ll act slowly and poorly. For example, the proposal to force iMessage interoperability which makes little sense and introduces security risks.
Windows has supported window snapping for years. It has been the mainstream default for years
This sort of comment is incredibly low value and doesn't contribute to the discussion.

I'm not being forced to install Facebook, but I choose to install it on my device. When this changes happens, the choice isn't going to be "install Facebook from the App Store or the Meta Store", it's going to be "install Facebook from the Meta Store". That's not a choice to the user, it's a choice for meta.

A choice for the user is choosing to buy an iPhone with the knowledge that this is a limitation, and if I don't want that limitation, I can buy an android device.
And if he hadn’t, that nanny would probably be in jail.
Many infatuationary pressures have eased. I could write a bunch of things here, but you'd get a better look if you googled on why the bank of canada has eased off a bit on rate increases.

Of course, the future is an unknown, but inflation is about half what it was a year ago.

Heck, there has been some talk of deflation! A lot of stuff peaked due to supply, and those prices could drop dramatically.
They didn't open their capabilities to competitors. That is completely false.

No one who sells on Amazon is a competitor. If you are selling on Amazon you are a customer, and every once in a while, Amazon comes in and starts selling your goods for less than you can because they decided they would make more money without you in the picture.

For a little proof, try to find Ammoon products on Amazon. They used to be everywhere. And the information isn't exactly public but there was a falling out between Ammoon and Amazon and now you can't buy Ammoon products on Amazon, but you can find Lekato and Sumimma and Joyo and Cuvave knock offs of the exact same products, and not long after this happened, Amazon started selling cheap guitar pedals under their Amazon Basics brand.

You may say, sure, whatever, but the primary product Ammoon sold was the cheapest ($35) looper pedal on the market.

Amazon undercut that price (to $26.50) and also booted their closest competitor and biggest customer in the guitar pedal looper segment.

Who would defend that kind of scummy action?
I like to imagine a world where people don't have to work or worry about health care. It's all done by AI and robots. People are free to pursue their hobbies and other interests. How would we treat each then? Would we still be in terrible conflict with hate and prejudice prevalent?
But Amazon is the 7-11 (and more)! It is the customer facing part of the business that houses and delivers the beef jerky to the ultimate customer. 7-11 sees that jerky sells, that lots of brands can sell jerky, that consumers don’t seem to care about the brand of jerky as long as it says teriyaki, and so 7-11 now sells 7-11 basics teriyaki jerky.

The FBA middlemen are more like traveling salesmen - they take an order, send it in to HQ, and HQ ships it to the 7-11. They don’t do anything but take orders. They are Tom Smykowski - they take the plans to the engineers!

You’re complaining that the storefront that the goods are sold through has its own sales information. The amount of sales you have through Amazon may be a trade secret, but it is not a trade secret from Amazon.
That's absolutely not the case on Android, why would it be different on iOS?
The DMA largely regulates essential platform services, so it has little to say about YouTube steering users to Chrome, neither of which are platform services on iOS.

> It's strange to me that people want to be able to "do what the nerds can", but don't want to put any of the effort forth.

People, generally speaking, want outcomes. They don’t care how it’s done or what is used to get there. No one goes to the hardware store to buy a drill. They go there to buy holes.
That's right. I found a glitch allowing me to know beforehand who'd liked me without any special tooling, as mentioned near "killing the app". Something about their internal API was not so RESTful I guess.
That's not necessary or sufficient. Going back to 2017 or so when I was working in the area their OpenCL support was good enough, the missing parts were an equivalent to cuDNN and upstreamed support in TensorFlow etc. That work does not subdivide in a way amenable to being a community effort and it's way too big for a hobby project. Today the technical landscape is different but from what I can tell the basic problems are the same.
Oh yes, Amazon Inc., famously they have a hard time finding out what customers want.

Come on.
> The reality is that tons of things are potential timing attacks and if every single feature that might get used for one was disabled in advance the web platform would be pretty useless.

I feel like the web platform would be much more useful if I didn't have to constantly worry about drive-by attacks leveraging bugs in a giant stack of "web technologies" that are only getting more complex with each passing year.
what are popular ROP compilers used for then?
It's funny that Microsoft had to fight so hard when they could have just developed an operating system from the start, like iOS, that limited installations to whatever they pre-approved. It's always harder to take something away than never give it as an option in the first place.
I've been using this for a few days and it is _fantastic_! AirPods have to be the biggest thing I'd miss if I ever left the Apple ecosystem
Its sad that we have been conditioned to see creativity as an 'urge' and a 'luxury' rather than some integral part of life.
Because the detractors never acknowledge the good reasons Apple has for locking down
the platform.
I am curious too. I have used Stan extensively. I found it extremely polished and pleasant to use.

It generated very efficient samplers for particularly weird (and enormous!) hierarchical models I had. Documentation is also great.

If your job was X by hand and now a machine does X better what gives you the right to deny others who want to use such a machine?

> The Luddites were free people who knew a trade that machines were threatening to make obsolete.

Did Luddites not feel it was their right to impose costs on others to maintain their way of life?

> Slave owners didn't care one iota about their livestock, they were a means to an end.

Slave owners not feel it was their right to impose costs on others to maintain their way of life?

The two cases are obviously different however do you deny both involve the the belief that it is ok to impose costs on others to maintain some way of life? There is nothing in common?

>Choosing to leave certain people behind and not offer retraining or some other opportunity is exactly what creates the malice that would motivate a tradesman to destroy machinery.

A society that leaves members behind will be out competed and replaced by societies that are smarter about this. Ditto for a society that imposes costs on others so that some group can continue to maintain some legacy way of life.
It makes a difference. If you start with several quality brands and one of them sells out, you can switch to one of the others. If everyone pulls the same shit, there's nowhere to go.

And everyone is pulling the same shit.
