Ask HN: Best Ad-Free iOS Apps?
I recently downloaded Organic Maps, which provides beautiful offline maps without ads. I was just stunned with the quality.

There was also a recent thread about ad-free open source Android apps: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37463662
including this project from KIT: https://secuso.aifb.kit.edu/english/105.php

What would you say is your favourite iOS app that meets these qualities?
I don't mean to downplay the difficulty of supporting longer addresses in these systems, but it's been done for v6 already. That technical challenge has been mostly solved, and an adoption problem has taken its place.

Amazing, I had the exact same thing happen to me.

They instantly flagged and deleted my review claiming I only stayed one night (I did – in a sleeping bag no less) instead of four. This claim from them actually helped in the chargeback.
I've worked in a couple of projects where the existing teams were converting some API calls to new tech and changing UI to accomodate the 'new way' of getting data because "the current is way too slow". And it was. Going to a common dashboard was taking... 45-50 seconds, and growing.

Core was they were pulling all data - 20k records - in to a js datatable.

"This is bad - we have to move to server side paging!"

They'd convinced their clients (I've seen this variations of this process 5x in the past 6 years) to 'upgrade'.

In at least 2 cases, I rewrote a couple of the queries to just pull what was needed - id/name/email - instead of full ORM records with nested associations. One screen went from 45 seconds to 1 second. And this took ... 10-15 minutes of digging and rework. Yes, if your real goal is you want to learn Hotwire or some other new tech... go for it, but it feels wrong to not even investigate why the code is slow in the first place.

Other project - similar - took a screen from 50 seconds to 2 seconds by reducing the query. Then got the whole thing under a second with a couple of indexes.

Now, yes, this isn't all specific to database optimization, but they feel related. This idea of "oh, compute is cheap, devs are expensive, just throw more hardware at it!" has to have some boundaries/limits, but they aren't often realized until you're really ... in deep.
The practical case - it's very annoying and broken.

(Like, I fled for largely moral reasons last November, but by January it was unusable for practical reasons anyway, with the death of third party clients and the promotion of insufferable blueticks in front of proper replies.)
What is a better advocate that you'd recommend
Problem is that "real world" adds way more variables that you cannot control.

I can make a hello world api in go that will handle way more requests than an express app but as soon as I put a database call we'll the go/node are pretty much neck and neck because the dB doesn't really respond any fast.

Now I know the go server will literally be able to handle more concurrent clients but that is not "speed" benchmark anymore.

I think there is a fundamental gap between the OP's concept of "Point" versus the responders. They're essentially asking if decidability has practical[1] uses to which the answer is generally "No". When a general CS practitioner imagines doing something via computation, they are already thinking of things in the realm of the possible. It may be helpful to know that exact answers are intractable and you'll have to settle for an approximation, but that information seems to correlate more with complexity than with decidability.

[1]: Where practical is in the sense of an engineer (or in their terms, a CS practitioner), not a theoretician. Most of the responders seem to interpret practical in the sense of a mathematician.

What does that even mean? I don't follow an organized religion or church but I do believe in the existence of the bible and Christianity. The bible is part history book, part fiction, there are definitely some parts in there that are true and lots of things that have not been verified to be true and probably never will (because they are not). There might have been a flood of some kind in Mesopotamia and someone might have put a bunch of animals on a boat. Were those the only animals that survived, most likely not.

I just ordered a replacement battery for it as well and it was an extremely easy process to install.

I think both people are right: There is an overwhelming need to address the situation of artists and writers ("content creators"). Copyright is not being used because it's the right tool to do so, but because it's the only even vaguely plausible one. It's also clear that it's not sufficient.

> the equivalent of jail would be that all profits go to the state for the duration of the "jail" term

For punishing corporations (for whatever legal reason) I would rather see a percentage of c-suite compensation for a time period (including end of year bonuses) confiscated, maybe along with a fine based on profit (so stock values are hit as well, so that both can't be used to avoid penalties and also to signal to the market it's a bad idea).

The problem with fining a company is that often you hurt a lot of the lower ranked employees that had no power and often no knowledge of the problems, and usually weren't involved in any way, sometimes to the point where they lose their jobs if the company is hurting to a much larger degree than the people running the company do, which is why punishing corporations is sometimes hard.

We need to incentivize and punish the people that actually decide the problematic policies and actions and not those that just happen to be in proximity and/or are linked financially, to the degree that we can (obviously it's hard and no perfect solution exists).
See, for me this section also jumped out, but for the opposite reason.

They are intentionally being deceptive about the aim of AI training. The aim is not to create a model, for the sake of having a model, the aim is to create a model that produces content for "direct human consumption".

I could use their argument to say it's fine for me to illegally download movies because I intend to simply create a corpus of works, and whether that corpus will be consumed by humans afterwords is (by their logic) irrelevant. Or that I should be able to download them because I only intend to transform them into AMVs.

You still have to legally obtain the original work for Fair Use to apply, and in many cases they are not legally obtaining them. "Publicly-accessible" has been ruled repeatedly in copyright law not to inherently imply "legal to copy", but that is exactly what they're claiming should be applied here.
> I don't see how Microsoft keeps OneDrive data separate.

The short answer is that cross-tenant access should only be available where it is explicitly granted through policy or request.

The long answer is that this is hard to balance and manage over time, and users should really be provided with their own device or remote workspace (which could includes SharePoint and Office for Web, not necessarily a remote desktop), rather than being asked to apply what amounts to an MAM policy to their BYOD device.
> It's a bit weird to argue that freedom of speech and press somehow guarantees a fair use right to train AI models

Most specific fair use applications would seem weird as direct applications of the First Amendment protections, nevertheless, that there is a broad space defined by the factors set out as the fair use factors which rest on those principles and into which the restrictions imposed under copyright law cannot be applied is well-established.

This flows from the fact that everything copyright law controls is on some level speech or press acts, or precursors to them (creating AI models is a precursor to publishing them) and that therefore the copyright power is read narrowly and its purpose clause read strictly, by similar constitutional logic to the application of strict scrutiny to government acts affecting fundamental rights. The fair use factors are specifically factors which either relate to the most sensitive areas of expression or to the boundaries of the purpose of the copyright power (the purpose and nature factor being one of the trickier ones because it involves both.)

You make the key error of giving the AI personal rights and responsibilities. As it currently stands it has no sense of individuality and does whatever users tell it to do. If it reproduced a copyrighted material i would expect either OpenAI or the user to bear the responsibility. The user if he published the result and OpenAI for generating it.

If the AI could chose to refuse a prompt out of its own volition you could make that argument. At the moment however OpenAI and the user set the limits on what the output gets used for.

I agree. Off the top of my head, the most important new features they introduced in recent years were:

It's quite clear that Adobe doesn't see PS as a digital painting app, but an (AI-assisted) image manipulation app.

> If a software bug can cause a death, like in a car, then the failure modes and legal consequences are the same as traditional engineering.

They are not even remotely. A business may have to pay out a settlement, and failure may attract the interest of regulators (say, the NTSB if it is a car or airplane or the FDA if it's a medical device), but nobody is going to lose their license to practice "software engineering" nor face professional sanction even if there is professional malpractice.

The fact that nobody has gone to jail or had their ability to work in software revoked as a consequence of the 737 Max incident is proof that they are not even remotely similar. Had an aerospace engineer certified a physical part the same way that the software engineers certified that software they most certainly would have been on the hook individually for massive damages and would never work in industry again - both because they'd have been named and shamed in the investigation and because likely their license to practice engineering would have been revoked.
Routers today are already dealing with this problem because Chrome throws major security warnings for any unencrypted HTTP traffic. The current solutions I've seen are to use things like Let's Encrypt/ACME certificates for wildcard sub-domains *.routercompanylocal.tld and a bit of secure handshake magic to register temporary A/AAAA records for link-local IP addresses (DNS has no problem advertising link-local addresses) and pass the private parts of the certificate down to the local hardware. Several major consumer routers I've seen will auto-route users to something like https://some-guid.theircompanyrouterlocal.tld and everything just works including a CA chain usually up to Let's Encrypt.

Doing Let's Encrypt/ACME for random localnet web pages is getting easier all the time and anyone can use that wildcard domain loophole if they want to build their own secure bootstrap protocols for localnet. It would be great if the ACME protocol more directly supported it than through the wildcard domain name loopholes currently in use, and that may come with time/demand. I imagine there are a lot of hard security questions that would need to be answered before a generally available "localnet ACME" could be devised (obviously every router manufacturer is currently keeping their secure handshakes proprietary because they can't afford to leak those certificates to would be MITM attacks), but I'm sure a lot of smart minds exist to build it given enough time and priority.
You're assuming they do.
On one hand, copyleft licenses are a creative form of copyright to enforce the wishes of the author to allow derivative works under the condition they are also distributed freely. Let's call it weak copyleft, the pragmatic variety.

OTOH are copyright abolitionists who are offended by the notion that their freedom to copy and modify code on their own harddisk could be restricted by a mere "license", to them the notion of intellectual property is poppycock. The Strong Copylefties consider GPL a necessary evil, a way to use their enemies' tools against them, to spread their ideals of free culture amidst a corporatist hellscape.

But when I arrived at the hotel, I was informed that they don't allow dogs at all. And since the reservation was made through booking.com, there was nothing they could do about it. So I ended up paying for a hotel room that no one slept in and have been given the silent treatment from booking.com since then despite several contact attempts.

is the most interesting question in all of Marxism and it's quite relevant to the whole "whatever happened after 1970?" question that I've noticed people talking about since the 1980's. (In an economics class as an undergrad I'd gotten convinced that we'd never have another economic boom... then there was that time I was tripping hard on acid and saw the DeLiA's catalog and it was clear to me that hemlines were going up either because the supply of cloth was getting short or because girls had money to compete really hard to get the attention of guys who expected to make big $$$$ right out the game or both.)

> a rules engine for "what work to execute next?"

I'm afraid to inform you, that you have built a cluster workload manager.

(Where a "cluster workload manager" is a type of job scheduler designed for — usually HPC — clusters, that prioritizes among ongoing abstract batch "jobs" that can each broken down into more granular atomic scheduleable work-units; and which accounts the often-unpredictable resource-consumption outcomes of those work-units, to the account of the job and its owning user+group+org, to then weight further executions of that job or other jobs owned by that user+group+org, so that ultimately, jobs can proceed at a QoS/rate that's 1. "fair", and 2. in proportion to the amount that a given customer is willing to pay for prioritization. "Business rules" in such a system, are expressed in terms of conditional coefficients or formulae to apply to the "costs" used to re-weight jobs.)

Examples of cluster workload management software:

• Slurm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slurm_Workload_Manager)

• IBM Spectrum LSF (https://www.ibm.com/products/hpc-workload-management)

• technically, Kubernetes' kube-scheduler — though it's the most trivial possible implementation of one, without any of the ongoing-fairness-of-QoS logic.

The key thing to know about these, is that it's nearly impossible to build one that lives "quiesced" inside a database (as you've probably found.) Imagine taking an OS process scheduler and trying to keep the state for that canonically inside a database. Then imagine multiplying the write load by 1000x, while keeping the realtime read requirements the same. It's just a bad idea.

You can certainly persist the state of these systems into a DB — but what you really want is one or more active scheduler nodes, that keep a big in-memory ledger matrix, that can be mutated moment-to-moment, without needing to persist every single change to disk in some WAL/journal/etc. Like a regular OS scheduler. Or like, say, a game physics engine — very similar in how it's all about tiny little "integration" steps, many times per second.
