As the parent comment was saying however, it’s not just the App Store’s services that are being funded, but also platform, SDK, and developer tooling.

30% is probably too steep of a cut, but I don’t think it’s wrong for them to to take some percentage (the 15% rate they give to small devs who ask for it seems closer to reality).
I'd say Zero Dark Thirty was a bad movie about a major and important event.

Calling a movie bad doesn't diminish the original event. It just criticizes the movie itself.
> In case it's not clear from the definition, notice the first example's deliberate pluralisation; "largely in the hands of state-owned monopolies".

The example is, presumably, referring to a single entity that provided “passenger services” between two destinations, and no other entity provided passenger services between those destinations. But since there could be multiple sets of destinations that single entities provided all passenger services for, then there would be multiple monopolies.

Which does not contradict kemayo’s post.

There is no reason to use monopoly (in this context) when more accurate vocabulary exists, such as duopoly or oligopoly.

I think this still holds some water. The go bot was excellent at beating really good go players because it had a ton of data on high level go games. When it encountered someone intentionally doing a moronic strategy, it was trounced. It just didn't have enough data on bad players, so it lost to an obviously flawed strategy.

I think that's the huge flaw in all of these ml systems. They don't build fundamental understanding. We're brute forcing it in a way, but perhaps we're losing something in the long tail.

On another HN thread it was discussed that because road wear and tire wear and hence micro plastics, scale to the fourth with vehicle weight, a few large delivery vehicles are far worse than many lighter ones. It is better for us all to use the lightest vehicle we can to go get groceries and take our garbage to the recycling facility (or landfill) than to have trahs trucks, delivery trucks, or busses move us about. Trains or other steel wheeled things are the best.

>I guess the primary purpose of the audit is to make all the numbers add up, and maybe that can inform cost-saving decisions down the road

That's right - the, not unreasonable basis, is that you can't make informed decisions about whether you're getting good value for money, or how to change allocations, unless you've transparency into what that money actually does.

It's approximately the same reason why financial statements and their audits are relevant in the private sector - just substitute "investors" for the "the public, with Congress as proxy".
Unfortunately, many smart TVs use 100 Mbps RJ45 ports, so WiFi is usually faster. Some TVs allow you to plug in a USB to RJ45 adapter, but most of the USB ports are only USB 2 speed, so the practical limit is 300 Mbps. Some nice ones have USB 3 ports enabling 1 Gbps through an RJ45 adapter. I wish the manufacturers put at least gigabit (if not 2.5 Gbps) RJ45 ports on TVs.
You’ll be cursing HA off and on for as long as you use it. The local control angle is the right one (Apple’s HomeKit is also local for its devices and its great, I wish they’d invest more in it).

The breaking changes in HA are out of control, every release is a dozen or more - a good chance at least one integration you use will have a breaking change every time you update.

If you wait too long to upgrade it’ll just implode.

Why Apple Is Content with the Blue Bubble Divide in iMessage
That seems to be a limited view of open source software and is ignoring communities that work together on useful code and a lot of successful projects.

One of the advantages of using open source code is that updates aren't purely done for commercial reasons and popular projects will tend to get a lot more people working on them than a similar proprietary piece of code. There's a lot to be said for enthusiasts working to make something better because they want to, rather than a paid developer just adding in features that a sales team think will look good in publicity materials and not being permitted to spend time fixing long standing issues with the code base.

It's an implied social contract between the developers and the users - the users will often recommend the software to others and there's an expectation that a popular, active project (i.e. not just some code that someone's published and then left alone) will continue to be active.

Switching licenses is only really feasible where all the code is owned by an individual (person or business) - certainly switching Linux to a different a license would be incredibly difficult.

It's all about getting people to work together rather than in competition.
I’ve given plenty of top-level dissenting and affirming opinions, probably at least a few hundred, probably less than a thousand (wild estimate based on the total and memory of likely patterns). The highest I’ve got before was +74 on a positive one (detailing my experiences with fraudulent YouTube Content ID claims of public domain melodies) and +73 on a negative one (detailing specific technical problems on an Informational-class RFC—yes, both of these were much more specific than the current case). Fundamentally such numbers may not mean anything, but when you get one that’s more than double the next highest from such a collection is very likely to mean something. And the final paragraph of my follow-up comment certainly added something (I wouldn’t have posted the number without it).

If someone had written approximately the comment I wrote first, I’d have upvoted it, because it matches my experience.
It's almost like ambiguous voice commands are garbage for controlling things. Humans understand each other only most of the time and we've had 200k years of evolution and practice and now even education to improve that system.
You can say it's broken until you're blue in the face, and honestly, you're not wrong, but it's irrelevant.

If major libraries and user code are constantly incorrect, but work because of an implementation detail, then removing that implementation detail becomes extraordinarily difficult, verging on impossible.

It would be like retrofitting your language to distinguish valid unicode text from arbitrary byte strings, when you'd previously treated them as equivalent.
Because they got trained to think that way by the "free as in speech and free as in beer" and "Why pay for Windoze? (sic) Linux is free" marketing the early FOSS advocates used.

> Why should a young child grapple with rape, slitting mothers throat for money, suicide, gambling addiction, rape, genicide, etc?

Have you read most faerie tales, or Bible stories for that matter? Or watched children's television? Or grown up in a less than perfect household?

These are simply the themes of real life, and only rare privilege allows one to reach adolescence blissfully ignorant of life's sharp edges. Better to have the lessons delivered by a compelling narrative that gives children agency then by real life which offers them none.
That's exactly what the parent was acknowledging. Using the abstract term "Russian interest" is just a way of sidestepping that these interests include imperial conquest.
Your mentioning of "rape" here sent me on a google journey... I don't remember anything like that happening or even being hinted at in FF6, what are you referring to?
> The thing that continues to happen is that people living in rural towns think that cities changing their mobility priorities to decenter cars is a personal affront.

Look at the context, OP at the top of the comment tree. They are explicit in asking for a ban, not merely making alternatives more attractive.
> Not everyone lives in large cities with whole mass transit systems or works the usual 9-5.

Have you been to the suburbs of Japan? Or France? Towns created before cars were invented. Lots of single family homes, and a smattering of small vehicles used for work.

It can work, but we've built huge car-required cities and towns and lifestyles and it's a sunk cost fallacy. And it feels "normal" to us, but it's not. It's bad for the environment, and it's bad for us.

Hours spent in a car is directly related to obesity. Exhaust fumes and tire particulate matter is directly related to asthma and cancer. Your car is killing you.
> Driving a car is not fun if you're doing it to commute - having to do it in all weathers, in traffic that feels unsafe, even if you don't feel like it and got poor sleep etc. It's really fundamentally not the same

In a town that is minimally designed to facilitate the movement of people instead of cars there are multiple modes of transportation available to commuters, including but not limited to public transit for those days when you don't feel like walking or riding a bike.
A full year ago I heard an extremely racist AI "David Attenborough" narration where he described an encounter between an Asian man and a Black man on a city street as if he were describing aggressive animals. It 100% sounded like a documentary though, a normal person would have no idea Attenborough wasn't actually narrating the world's most racist nature film. Now that is disrespectful, and already exists.

If I recall, soon after 4chan discovered this "hilarious trick", the API access for the AI narration tool was shut off. But those moats aren't going to last forever.

Many of the changes to FF over the last several years have been, in my opinion, just plain bad.

That said, it's not like there's a large amount of choice in the browser space. Today's Firefox can be worse (in ways that are important to you & I) than yesterday's but still be the best of the options available to us today.

My opinion, and the reason I switched back to FF, is that FF is the "least bad" option we have.
Its still a pretty small fraction of the userbase though (going by Google Docs Offline), which is interesting.

It'd be battle hardened to 1960s standards, payroll has changed a _lot_ since then. And if they can't accurately describe exactly how certain calculations are made (or have to do some of those manually outside of the program after it runs), that would be a huge problem in an audit.

This is why big companies use Oracle or SAP for their ERP, auditors are very familiar with it and the way it functions is well-known and understood.
I was on the previous incentive for solar generation and my bill last month was $0 (I only look at the summary emailed to me and let autopay handle it).

I assume I generated more than I consumed and that offset my gas consumption.

CPUC is full of cronies tied to Sacramento and Newsom. Guarantee the solar changes in this article are being pushed by the energy companies.

PG&E is putting all this money into preventing the next wave of wildfires caused by their negligence and passing it on to consumers.

This feels like the power companies getting in front of shrinking revenue to stop backlash from raising rates for non-solar customers. I can’t imagine power companies continuing to pay outrageous executive salaries while everyone switches to solar and lowering revenue.

I believe this is true. But FAANGs are really software factories, not places for innovation. The product requirements rain down from high up above, and they expect a shoddy implementation as fast as possible. The model largely works
I've thought about even taking this further: Adding a domain to secret. e.g. secret:example.com:abc

Then example.com could host a /.well-known/secrets.json which would include information on how to automatically report and/or revoke a leaked secret.
> I really don’t understand why it’s taking so long to recognise Apple/Google as a monopoly.

Monopolies, in and of themselves, are not illegal in the US.

Leveraging monopoly position to gain unfair advantage in markets outside the monopoly is illegal.
This is ridiculous because there is no legal or moral obligation from the creator to say anything except maybe adding the license. You as a user can use the given software and probably modify yourself at will due to the permissive license which is the main advantage of OSS. When I get stuff from the charity I do not expect them to provide a return policy and customer service, your analogy is moronic because the thing was done already and you can come back and get a newer thing if it is ready.

The problem is that the barrier to use any software is so low that it attracts people who have no clue and demand support. I am not talking about you, even the larger companies always mention a wish to force smaller developers to patch security issues for free, this is an issue in supply chain security at the moment.

The gist is that you can fix it yourself.
Imagine what it must have been like for "primitive" civilizations: "Oh my son, your hurt back has gone on far too long. I'm taking you to the tribal elder who will prescribe a remedy and do a spell. Once he finishes, all your pain will be a distant memory". And it works (for some duration).
> We don't need

Let me stop you right there. We "don't need" most of the possessions you currently own, including the one you're using to browse HN. We don't live for mere subsistence.

People can decide for themselves what they want to give up to reduce their carbon footprint, and that doesn't necessarily have to be their vehicle.
I love the non-rebuttal, followed by immediate dismissal. lol

ok..
I agree with you that people should be allowed to live in the time of communities they prefer, and if hose are suburban mansions so be it. If they also want cars, so be it.

Where, perhaps, you and I disagree is that I think that people who buy these houses and cars should pay for the full cost, including all negative externalities, of their choices. Taxes should be imposed that should then try to reverse those negative externalities where possible. And I assure you, those taxes will easily double or triple the price of gasoline and those houses. Getting CO2 out of the atmosphere is really really difficult, and infrastructure costs of cities vs suburbia obey power laws.
> Industries where direct competition is allowable do not suffer from these problems.

No, they suffer much worse. Haven't you noticed how all goods and services go to shit over the years? This is not an accident, this is competition optimizing out any quality it can get away with removing.

You should move back to the city, then. I moved out because I had enough of the crowds and awful mass transit and I'm good with it. The NYC cops were absolutely awful for us as well.
They take up a lot of space and require a lot more energy to move around. Even if we get 100% electric vehicles with all clean power generation - it's still a massive toll on the environment.

A car isn't a helicopter, they require reasonably good roads with high costs of maintenance(and a lot of other infrastructure to support roads).

Also car dependent lifestyle means that population density drops, with less walkable places than ever.
I only accept the first style, because I pronounce it "Jameses pen", not "James pen". If there are multiple choices and one more closely resembles the spoken language, I don't see any reason to save a written letter. Otherwise you have "James' pen" being pronounced "Jameses pen", but "the voters' choice" for some reason is not pronounced "the voterses choice". You end up with one specific circumstance where an apostrophe is actually pronounced, and I really don't like that.

I'm also American.

This is the part that had me going 'WTF?!'.

I get that there is some signal there, but calling out 'web apps' as green flag pointing toward a better culture against technical debt had me confused.
Trivially resolved through zoning reform. Rhetoric surrounding "banning cars" will not deter sprawl or achieve anything of note, it will just be considered fringe fanaticism.

> unsustainable

The global population growth rate is going to stall, and by extension, cities will cease to grow. Sustainability is a moot point.
> is explicit that it is about taking away choice.

But it's a conversation and I am rejecting that framing. Suburbs/Exurbs as practiced in US today aren't some kind of quality of life maximizing end game. They are a natural result of a ton of policy interactions and subsidies, and the focus on it clearly has +ves and -ves. And of course it's always nice if you can get someone else to partially pay for your lifestyle, but that's inherently got downsides.

I think that it lacks imagination to think that we can't structure things differently and have equivalent or better quality of life overall. Will fewer people choose to live in suburbs? Sure - that's how incentives work.

I don't think "banning cars" makes any sense. But if we stop basing policy at multiple levels centered around them, and stop subsidizing car-centered living, I suspect we'll collectively do a lot less driving, which doesn't seem like a bad outcome, and more likely to have +ve impact than the fantasy that EVs are a drop in replacement for ICEs, no other changes needed.

Saying this as someone who lost out on this program mid stream (meaning I signed a tender offer but the contract was canceled days before I was due to receive funds) - this is something that is out of Cruise’s hands from the looks of it. GM is the one who buys these shares, so presumably given their financial recent position and all the recent incidents - something had to be done. Really not great that this happened literally days before funds arrived, but I don’t think attrition is top concern right now for leadership. Looks to be beginning of the end :/
Definitely a great move and idea.
One thing people frequently overlook when buying higher end CAT x copper cable is the thicker the cable the more difficult (some cases impossible) to attach an RJ45 head/plug or Keystone type connector. Additionally, it can become much more difficult to flex/bend, especially if considering it in an electrical gang box for a face plate. This is why frequently you’ll see “cat 8” bulk cable for not much more than cat 6E bulk cable.

Those are very bad things, no doubt whatsoever, but the data shows it is unnecessary for success. US solar and battery/storage manufacturing is exploding due to Inflation Reduction Act incentives, for example. Those bad things are not an excuse to not push scaling harder faster. Automation is a substantial component of solar and battery manufacturing, and you can build that automation with willing labor earning fair compensation.
