The Imation spinoff was good timing and worthwhile. The writing was on the wall. I wouldn't compare it to the rest of the 90s divestitures which abound with examples of management knee-capping their core business for the sake of following the latest fad.

We don't need to speculate; internal emails from the Epic trial discuss the motivations.

In short, Eddy Cue proposed in 2013 that Apple owning the best-in-class messaging app would be a win, and even mentioned the cost being low. Phil Schiller shut him down, arguing it would remove a barrier preventing iPhone parents from buying their kids Android phones.

That reads like anti-competitive motivation to me. In particular, it looks like tying, where two unrelated products are connected artificially. The wikipedia article on anticompetitive behaviors has a section on tying, and mentions another case involving Apple that bears some resemblance involving iPods being artificially restricted to only playing tracks either from iTunes or direct CD rips.

So I think the anti-competitive angle has some real merit.

The innovation claim, though, I have a harder time with. I don't see how releasing Messages for Android implies design-by-committee. They could just release it, like Beeper Mini just did, but without the reverse engineering part.
Easegress GitHub Repo: https://github.com/megaease/easegress
The timing is potentially clever. Apple has committed to supporting RCS next year, and will face regulatory pressure in places like Europe.

Even if short lived they could onboard a lot of Android users and then use RCS once it’s supported.

My mistake was using typical prices for engineering work as an attempt to establish a baseline understanding that we all agree free time is very valuable. I can see how that's become a morass in this discussion.

I value my own free time much more highly than I do my employment time. I would prefer to have more free time than employment time. So if employment time's going rate is $X, then a dollar value of free time must be higher than $X. No, I don't expect people to pay me for my free time. But I do think it's healthy to think of free time as the most valuable time someone can have. Not the highest price but the highest value.

This is why I think it's wonderful to see projects on HN where we find out how our fellow geeks are spending their most valuable time. And it bugs me that people sometimes respond that someone could have bought the same thing for less money or less time.

Ironically, we both object to putting a price on time, but I believe our objections are in opposition to each other.

Slightly related, I wish there was an attribute "onClickOutside" so we could close modals and dropdown menus without manually adding an event listener on the window and checking if the click wasn't inside the element.
> people who exercise more are overwhelmingly more likely to be a healthy weight.

They are also more likely to eat better and have healthier lifestyle habits, not to mention the social affluence correlation. That being said, a caloric deficit is a sure way to lose weight. The whole and unprocessed plant based foods the article aludes to can help bridge the gap between the caloric deficit and satiety.
You’re not alone — I am sure other people have done this before me but I haven’t ever seen it published, and I rediscovered this technique independently.

User profiles can be used in this exact way. Guest user if you intend to install+wipe it right away (though this will prove cumbersome eventually due to having to reinstall the app every time, etc). There is a significant isolation benefit to them, though not currently virtualized. With the isolation can come usability issues. Like transferring files from one profile to another.

They can very slow however (slow to load+setup, and switch between, I mean. when you're inside its effectively a separate, fresh, OS install).
If a group wanted to do that why bother with the dna data? Easier to just perform the violence. Even in 1930s europe I’d bet the SS would not really be concerned with whatever your dna data said if they really wanted you or your people gone, you’d just be labeled an enemy and sent off same as a jew or a gypsy or a communist.

I ended up moving things to the standalone WASM app just for this same reason. This confusion gets worst if you have different layouts for different aspects of your app, and who knows where things should be placed appropriately. All of a sudden some of the components won't become responsive at all...only to realize that it's pre-rendered.

In some cases, even the SSR gets you a quick time to first bite, clicking on a link that takes you to a WASM-rendered page freezes things for a bit while WASM and other files were getting downloaded.

The experience turned into a bit of a mess and I ended up moving things back to WASM and so far a smooth ride since then. There's potential with the Blazor Web App approach, only if Microsoft put some heads into revamping that experience a bit better.
Many indigenous cultures care deeply about their ancestors. And not just the most recent batch of them. Your idea that the remains of the dead should become "general property" that can be harvested, used, and/or abused as anyone sees fit is both absurd and offensive. Sorry, but we are sentimental creatures pretty much as a rule. We do get to pick and choose what we are sentimental about (to some degree), but it turns out a lot of people care about their ancestors and perhaps even the ancestors of other people in their community/culture who they aren't directly related to.

>What once was a man merely returned to the atoms and microbes of the planet that bore it.

Bones last for centuries, millennia, and longer. In fact bones are the very thing we are discussing (in the form of teeth), and they are obviously very much intact beyond your arbitrary 3 generation cutoff. So while your sentiment may be noble and erudite, it's not relevant at all.
GitHub Notifications sort of does this, though it's not just for PRs where you've had review requested (it's gets noisy because it also includes things like PRs merging or being closed).
USA elementary, middle and high school eductions are just plain terrible. Instead of learning useful technical skills needed in job market, they decided to do social agenda like critical race theory, very questionable history syllabus (especially on WW2), dumbing down math at least 3 years behind typical math syllabus in Asia, single language (if foreign/secondary language, useless in reallife but just good enough to score A in written exam). Heck even Havard to inflationary As with 40% of the class score one. This is why USA needs immigrants especially Chinese and Indians. Their core populations are truly dumb. Now that China and India actively stopping their smarts going over, I am wondering next gen smart immigrants probably coming from ganglands in South Ameticas or maybe fundamentalists from Middle Easts. Imagine this groups of people will run the trillion dollars economy and debts, fly F35, and operating nukes. It is gonna be scary for Americas in 2050 onwards.
Pretty great! Quick q for you when you update the docs. How does front end rendering work? Much of rust is deep into wasm - are you following that approach? or aiming for pure ssr of templates?
I've used Beeper for about a year with Facebook, Signal, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and iMessage. Instagram signs me out once a month or so for security suspicions, but I just reconfirm my account with 2FA. Other than that, no issues.

> Let's not forget the clusterfuck that is lead-free solder and just ask yourself why it's banned from aircraft and space applications where reliability is of utmost importance.

is it? a Google search for "avionics lead solder" finds Boeing saying in 2005 that "consumer electronic industry trends will force aerospace to adapt to an evolving lead-free transition", a "US Tech" saying "The global aircraft and aerospace market is moving toward 100 percent lead-free solder", an "AIM Solder" which "offers many tin-lead & lead-free RMA products suitable for the military & aerospace sector", and one source saying "Tin-lead alloy solder [...] has been used to assemble the avionics of every aircraft currently flying", by... "Lead Matters".

while environmentally-friendly replacements sometimes have downsides, categorically painting them as a lot/infinitely/terribly/clusterfuck worse is just "gubmint takin away our freedoms". yes, lead-free gasoline did require some engine design improvements, but it would be insane and downright inhumane to keep using it for a small increase in octane rating.
I'm an MLE, I would probably chop the songs into short segments, add noise (particularly trying to layer in people talking, room noise, and apply frequency-based filtering), and create a dataset like that. Then I would create contrastive embeddings with a hinge loss with a convnet on the spectrogram.

Ultimately this looks the same, but the "hashes" come from a convnet now. But you still are doing some nearest neighbor thing to actually choose the best match.

I imagine this is what 90% of MLEs would do, not sure if it would work better or worse than what Shazaam did. Prior to knowing Shazaam works, I might think this is a pretty hard problem, knowing Shazaam works, I am very confident the approach above would be competitive.

Yes, as a non-standard google extension that is not guaranteed to be present.

To illustrate the issue, imagine apple added support for "encrypted RCS" that was just iMessage's message blob stuck in an RCS blob (this is essentially how google's encrypted messaging solution works). Would you be ok with that being presented as "encrypted RCS"?
I don’t think I ever like accordions where you can only have one item open at a time. So often I just want to open them all, and probably wish you hadn’t collapsed them in the first place. Well, at least if people start doing it this way I can make a simple user script to just remove name attributes from <details> elements.
I think that would decimate their user numbers, which is a bad deal for the streamers too since they make money on sponsorships/ads and based on audience size. Hard to grow an audience when folks have to pay for the service. No idea how much of an average size streamer's income is based on donations on stream compared to brand deals. I wouldn't expect the average user to both pay for a sub to twitch, and also donate to the streamers.

I won't pretend to know what Twitch knows, but watching for free is definitely integral to how Twitch acquires users.
> Do you mount a disk drive onto a folder?

Yes? It looks exactly the same as a folder in the UI either way.
Absolutely, not. Each day, I constantly see evidences of passion theory of Lev Gumilev.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lev_Gumilev
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnogenesis

People critique him on non important parts of theory, but the main idea is excellent.

Idea is, few percents of people have from nature wish to change world, Gumilev named them passionaries.

And unfortunately, ONLY these people have ambitions, want to make money and searching some endeavor.

Passion is not totally unconnected to smartness, but if some person is smart, but without passion, he will not use his brain to grow. I seen huge number of smart people, who spent their talent to just avoid work.

So, what I want to say, if you see some person looking dude, this is not evidence, he could just imitate this, to more easy get joyful life.

And the second important thing - sometimes career of person powered by some his relative, or friend, or just some manipulating person, who constantly pushed him, and even more, this pushing person could be smarter than his object(S). (Yes, many pushing persons push on several persons, not on one person).

Sure, sometimes, people sacrifice their life, to help their relatives or loved, for example to got out from poverty, but I think, in Western countries you don't need to do such sacrifice, their social system and economy are good enough, so who don't want to be in poverty, will not be.

So short answer - now you would find smart person literally everywhere, you just need to figure out, he is smart.
If the government wanted you gone there wouldn’t be this song and dance about getting dna data from a blood bank. They’d just kill you and that would be that.
Correct! There are numerous options available across a wide variety of platforms, and yet people obsess specifically over iMessage because of perceived (and seemingly US only?) obsession with blue bubbles.
If the series B valuation is higher, then AMT will apply on the increase, which can make your tax bill very high (higher than the amount of cash you have in some situations). So waiting doesn't work very well either.

In my opinion, joining startups after Series A and before they switch to RSUs just doesn't work. It is not possible to make it work financially. (Without a 7-10 year exercise window).

I'm not certain what you should do, but consider that if you feel trapped now, you will continue feeling trapped in the future. Also, you may be able use your current equity as leverage in a negotiation for a new role, and get a bigger offer in a company that offers you the equity on fair terms.

Finally, I've heard of secondary markets working for people, but I don't know anyone directly who's used them.
100% this. I don't really care about the whole bubble thing. I just though oh cool, let me try this and find some iphone user to see if it works. Downloaded, auth'd my google account which was the only option which is not right either... and then bam, paywall. Yes it does say it costs $1.99/mo almost at the bottom of the linked page, but I 100% would not have downloaded this if I knew that up front. And absolutely would not have auth'd my google account.

There 100% should be a message BEFORE logging in that has the pricing. And allow for actual email signups too, not google or any other 3rd party logins.

This is a really interesting point! I think regulation is the wrong way to go in this case. It sounds reasonable until you consider the burden of enforcement. Your comment brings in another dimension of how and why we determine certain things to be poor ideas for the ‘masses’.

15k is the total subs to mtn dew's channel, not viewers. And the promoted channel gets a small amount of promotion in exchange for a long time of product placement.

Selling out is a thing. You put the value on your own product. If a week of advertising for them is valued at $0 and 15 minutes of promotion on a low view count channel, you've sold out for basically nothing.

Streamers should not do things that immediately devalue their channel such that their promotion is worth $0. Literally giving away the value for a chance to win promotion. Its not a lofty ideal its setting your own value above $0.
Need for defense, education, water, fire fighting/regulations, sewer, trash/recycling pickup, and once in a while workers rights and anti-trust. (Depending on ones definition of 'solved'.)
Things did definitely improve for them though the gap remains. Still, the gap does not mean it’s dangerous. I haven’t been to Riadh but if it’s similar to Doha/Dubai, then you can walk into a worker’s neighborhood at anytime with no consequences.

I'd probably do something like that a few times a week. It's really a missing link to my news experience.
If this is a standalone app (not requiring ongoing server/relay maintenances), why charge a monthly fee and not a one-time fee?
That's easy - Cambridge Analytica - the tip of the behavioral management iceberg.
Looks good, couldn't find any examples of how to render pages in the docs though (SSR or otherwise).
Why charge $10, when you can charge $10 per month?

But seriously, Beeper does have server side components. They're just optional ones. If you don't pay, you don't get those features.
I don't get it either, and the storage business they spun off wasn't a big money maker and subsequently tanked with the rest of the industry.

Seems smart not to ride it down
I have yet to see how this allows them to move faster and be more efficient. People have this fear of some orwellian government killing or imprisoning with little regard for ethics or due process except they will stop all of that for careful analysis of DNA. Seems bizarre to me. Either you are getting screwed or you aren’t but this stuff makes no screwing possible that wasn’t already.
A freely competitive market (as envisioned by Adam Smith) is very different from a free market (as the term is commonly used today, at least by many conservative political parties). I fully agree that without sufficient regulations markets cease to be freely competitive.

They are and they do. But with the firehose of news, it's not likely that I'd catch every relevant update.
It goes back to the old question of whether matter is fundamental and consciousness emerges from it or the other way around. My inclination is the latter, by way of Descartes. "I think therefore I am." If you can think "I am me" then you know with certainty that your first person identity exists but all other information that comes to you through your senses will always be an incomplete picture of the material universe. I think this is the strongest argument why consciousness precedes matter (or pervades through all matter, depending how you look at it). If sentience is a fundamental property of the universe, the way I see it, all matter shares the same soul. That makes it perfectly logical for a machine that mimics the pathways of the brain to behave just like a brain, to me.
