> Which part of your screwdriver is costing the original manufacturer money every time you turn a screw?

The true cost is so insignificant as to not matter. The normal iOS push notification spam uses orders of magnitude more resources than whatever Beeper uses, and yet Apple doesn't seem to mind those.

The screwdriver would cost a lot to a screw company that based its business model on being the only seller of compatible screwdrivers though, and that's why Apple is mad about this and trying to break it.
TL;DR for clickbait title:

> The lawsuit outlined how DraftKings advertised a bonus for first-time users of “up to $1,000” through a range of social media, third party, TV and radio promotions. But in order to ever receive $1,000 in additional bets, customers had to make a $5,000 initial deposit, risk $25,000 in real money within 90 days and bet on events with odds steeper than 1-3, according to the lawsuit. The bonus would also be paid out only in non-withdrawable credit.

The case has not yet gone to trial.
In my experience its just that technological ignorance muddies things so much that smart judges who otherwise understand evidence and admittance well will be silent when they arent sure, or worse, get actively bamboozled by shitters.

Many of us on this site think modern hypercapitalism, the US system, and VC financing are basically evils, and are here for the general tech content. US regulators have been captured by monied interests, so rooting for the EU to do the job the US government won't is the best we can currently hope for.
My understanding is that 44.1k is to improve error correction. 44100 == 2^2 * 3^2 * 5^2 * 7^2 ... something about vertices of a hypercube.
Apple is THE consumer tech company in the USA. Its their darling. The only way the USA will rule against Apple is that if they are losing them money elsewhere.
That's a strange argument... It sounds like you're making the claim that every single chat application should be mandatory legally required to have completely open APIs for any clone that wants to pop up and get access to their network.

What chat apps using a centralized server owned by a single company have open APIs that let anyone use them?
It may sound counter-intuitive, to enter this lab, you are not going down, instead, you enter a 14 km long horizontal tunnel that pass through a mountain, and this deep underground lab sits in the middle of tunnel. That tunnel was built to transport materials to a hydro power plant construction site, later was repurposed for science.

Ancient windows is not uncommon as far as the instrument it controls still works. In fact, since some control software were developed for old windows, there is little reason to upgrade to latest windows.

HN readers may also be surprised the way physicists work is similar to software developing. Vim, emacs, vscode, git are used everyday. C++, Python, Golang, Postgres, docker to name a few. Almost all the heavy lifting happens on Linux. Debian, Ubuntu, sometimes CentOS, although I don't think people will use CentOS on new machines. Of course it is not just software, there are customized hardware too. From FPGA to huge vessel build with ultra-low radiation stainless steel, not to mention the underground lab itself.

Last time I heard, this lab is not just for China. It is a civilian facility and they welcome collaboration regardless one's origin. Frankly I am very surprise how supportive the Chinese government is to this kind of research. I cannot imagine how they could benefit from it economically or militarily.

I have seen this argument so many times and it has never made sense to me. There is so much quality software that is free and open and interoperable. It is more than possible to be both open in nature and of high quality, to me that is indisputable. Apple obviously has a financial incentive to be locked down, they're not locked down out of any sort of necessity or as a concession for the sake of quality.

In the case of Beeper Mini, the proof is in the pudding. You have evidence right in front of your face that an Android client for iMessage is possible, because one now exists. Does your iPhone suddenly feel lower quality to you?
Right?

For all Android users this would mean there's now an official client.

For Beeper devs this means there's less RE needed for their client.

Even if Apple released an official app, Beeper is still useful for aggregating other services, something Apple will never do.

I see noone but Beeper winning in this game barring legal skirmishes.
I get that this is really interesting and I surely enjoyed the read... But has it really any practical implications?
I mean, in a sense, there are so many mathematical riddles...
Anyways, I'm fine to ignore this question. Very nice!
Google, Instagram and Facebook are so infested with scam ads that protecting yourself against those platforms is necessary. How is it possible that there is no lawsuit against all the rampant scam ads on these platforms? Alphabet's and Meta's main source of income in 2023 is blatant crimes.
Just to clarify: Compared to wasm2c, w2c2 does not (yet) have sandboxing capabilities, so assumes the translated WebAssembly module is trustworthy.
The main "goal" of w2c2 so far has been allowing to port applications and libraries to as many systems as possible.
Ahh they seem to have become available again. That's a step in the right direction.
But you can't just increase strength of the AP. Isn't the issue the strength of the end device in sending a signal back to the AP?

Network comms are 2-way, it's not just a 1-way signal from the AP to your end device. It has to be able to talk back, and the signal a small battery operated device with a tiny internal antenna can send is only so good.
With that logic you would expect Apple to never make acquisitions. They've got the money in the bank to do just about anything.
Unless, of course, that thing will also be deprioritized, in which case you're better off not doing anything at all.

I think that the clear result here is:

Workers who feel they're less productive work more. Which makes perfect sense. Workers who feel they're less productive may be more likely to try to compensate or worried that they will be fired.
You can also have the whole org go all in on agile. I am not sure which way is worse now. But we sure have tons of forms to make sure our rituals are properly done.
Expert witnesses can be cripplingly expensive. Having a gratis sanity check sounds like a great idea, assuming you can find some way to insulate them from influence.
I'm not really sure this is true. The reason you need register renaming is because of pipelines and variable execution timings. However, it should be fine to have some single-cycle load/store instructions that move data between the rotating and non-rotating register files - because if those instructions are single cycle, there is no need to renaming as the next instruction knows that the register is already updated.

In some ways, this isn't really needed - you could spill registers to the stack, but having a non-rotating register file means you can avoid actually writing these out to memory. In many ways, the SPARC register file solution would be appropriate here too, as then you completely avoid the notion of caller/callee saved whilst also avoiding actually having to store temporaries on the stack at all, unless a certain function depth is reached.

(EDIT: just re-read the document, and I guess a callee is free to never use the "v hand", and so it wouldn't need to save those registers either, so maybe this is sufficient.)

But I think having a non-rotating register file is useful, otherwise you'll incur penalties for branching code as you'll now either have divergent code paths that factor in the different register offsets, or you'll have a load of code wasting cycles just to move all the registers back where you expect them.

(EDIT EDIT: after thinking about it more, I think the 4 hands approach actually neatly solves many of problems I envisaged - the conditional code paths can just use a different hand and re-converge execution with another hand register file being correct. I think I actually quite like this idea!)
As I recall, their initial hoopla was all around educating and entertaining kids. Perhaps I'm conflating them with MS augmented reality. At the moment, their site seems exclusively tailored to well manicured scientists and "the enterprise".
I think some people are talking about startups here and some people are talking about enterprises and it's confusing the issue a bit. Apart from that, I think there's an element of "skin in the game" that benefits startups - there's a natural tendency for people at companies big or small to lose track of the big picture and start working on pet projects. At a startup at least you have a chance of things being aligned, everyone has equity and things are (relatively) simple enough that everyone can sort of tell what needs to be done. But at a big enterprise company, an entire department can spend millions on some pet project before anyone even realizes what's happening, and things are so complex that you can make a reasonable case for anything being a valid bet. And to the people in the department, it will appear that some egocentric executive showed up out of nowhere and disrupted their idea.

In the end, though, I don't think it's really mostly executive ego being inflicted on a group of people, although I am sure that sometimes happens. And I especially don't believe that demonstrating small incremental value will protect you from anything.

I think if you really want to be on an empowered product team, for real, work at startups. But that comes with its own downsides.
I would say people like the marketing. The average consumer gives no shits about product quality (see: the race to the bottom in basically every industry). But Apple has somehow convinced people that they are cool, so people buy their products.
A rabblement of lemmings. They ran down to the cliff with their economies in hand and plunged into the sea.
What is the reason you want your kids on the same platform?

Is it perhaps because it's easier to message them, do photo sharing/albums, see their location, have airtags work on both? At least for a sizable group my extended family included it's a lock-in for iPhones (or a very strong social disincentive to switch).
Having tried to print a physically-accurate scale on a non-commercial printer I would be surprised if a 1x1inch box actually measures the same in real life.
That definitely happens but lots of evidence is thrown out and they are looking at throwing the law at him. A famous case is Al Capone.

I’m not calling it right or wrong, it’s just what happens with the system in place. It’s also shown to the public to convict them. The jury has the ability to ‘throw’ the case as they did in the case of OJ.
I really don't think pretrial detention counts.

There is a long-standing and legitimate public interest in detaining some people while they await trial. A court can find you a flight risk, or a danger to society, during arraignment before your trial without violating your due process rights.

And I'm not sure "the proportion of individuals held in jail pending trial" increasing means anything. What are the number of cases this correlates to? Have the raw or per capita numbers increased? What are the other reasons you could be held in jail other than pending trial, which apparently decreased from 44% to 34%?

And not to be too overly pedantic, but the original question was about prison specifically which is distinctly different from jail.
Can anyone guess a timeline when this will be available in OSes, middleboxes and whatnot? So when can we reap the benefits?
The actual best case outcome is consumers become increasingly educated on these issues and use the market to not reward Apple for these practices, rather than relying on the coercive apparatus of the state that easily falls victim to corruption and regulatory capture, until such the time where we can have an actual functioning government again that isn't strangling small businesses, close the revolving door and get money out of politics and, yeah.. pigs flying and all that.
> But… shouldn’t mostly everyone here view needing the EU to force the behaviour of a US company kind of against the entire supposed benefit of the US system and the purpose of the domain this forum is hosted on?

European here. From my POV it seems as if the USA have forgotten that for a truly free market to exist, there needs to be serious oversight to prevent capitalism from devolving into "corporate Darwinism" - aka the strong ones staying strong because they (b)eat all the competition by being so strong in the first place or because they impose their externalities upon everyone else.

There is many an argument to be had if a free-market system is better than one more oriented on the government running things (obviously, I'm in the latter camp), but the problem is y'all don't have a free market at that point.
> Apple’s next move would likely be to release some kind of official iMessage Android client rather than cede control of the space to Beeper.

This looks like a great outcome?
Tilde.club
I am using Cloudflare Pages to deploy my personal website, where I author the content by hand in markdown – it's great!

My point is though that unfortunately there is nothing that's as "all in one" as traditional Wordpress hosting for the static site generator world.
Sveltia CMS seems to be like Decap / Netlify CMS – my biggest problem with those were always support for media files, like lots of images, maybe videos etc., they just don't fit well into a git repository, and you end up having to bolt another solution on top of it to make it work, like git lfs or an external object storage host.
From the Sveltia CMS docs it seems like that's not even an option yet:

> External media storage services are not supported yet. Deprecated Netlify Large Media won’t be added.

And even if you are building a website that's mainly text and small images, I don't really love the flow of all the content going into the the git repository, with huge amounts of commits that are just "X updated blogposty-y.md", especially with lots of collaborators.

I realize I'm asking for a lot with this 'all-in-one' solution, maybe it's just a problem noone else has, I often think about trying to build it myself, although I am aware it would be a really complex undertaking..
I think your point on #2 makes quite a lot of sense, but #1 rings hollow. Plenty of erstwhile liberals hoist the black flag when there's inconvenience in their own neighborhoods; no reason to think it isn't similarly situational with regards to people who are incentivized towards securing conviction.
You could probably use DOSBox if the Docker image gives you trouble.
> Apple is free to charge for them

But I don’t think anyone disagrees that Apple is (currently) free _not_ to charge for them.

> Is it a problem to profit off creating a tool that some other manufacturer intentionally doesn't want to create

I’d say ethically no - not a problem - up _until_ the point where they are actively, continuously using resources of that manufacturer. Legally? If you or your customers have agreed to a TOS then that’s probably bad either way.

Nobody would care about (or be interested in) beeper if they were running their own servers.

Every major chat app is closed though? For example, I use LINE regularly, there's no way to access that chat system through anything but LINE apps.
Show HN: Visualize rotating objects from the 4th, 5th, nth dimensions
Ever since I remember I had a lot of curiosity regarding hyper dimensional spaces. Picturing higher dimensions, such an impossible yet exciting idea... So years ago I came across a small GIF of a tesseract. Since then it left me wondering how cubes from even higher dimensions would look like... Years passed and I became a software developer, decided to tackle the problem myself and ncube was the result.

ncube allows you to visualize rotating hypercubes of arbitrary dimensions. It works by rotating the hyperdimensional vertices and applying a chain of perspective projections to them until the 3rd dimension is reached. Everything is generated in real time just from the dimension number.

The application is fully free and open source: https://github.com/ndavd/ncube. There, you'll find some demos, more detailed explanation and how you can test it out yourself.
Binaries for Windows, Mac and Linux are available: https://github.com/ndavd/ncube/releases/latest
There's also a web version that runs fully on the browser: https://ncube.ndavd.com

If you like the project I'd appreciate if you could give it a star on GitHub ♥ If you have any issue or feature request please submit at https://github.com/ndavd/ncube/issues

-- EDIT DEC13 2023: IMPORTANT NOTICE --

https://ncube.ndavd.com MIGHT BE DOWN FOR YOU.

I deeply appreciate all the attention and feedback that ncube has been having this last day.

Alas it has become too big for the free hosting that I'm currently using and has exceeded my available monthly bandwidth.

I will be fixing it soon. In the meantime I recommend using the native binaries from https://github.com/ndavd/ncube

UPDATE: https://ncube.ndavd.com IS BACK ONLINE and with a performance boost. Should load faster now.

-- EDIT DEC17 2023 --

If ncube is leaving your system unresponsive it should be due to a recent Chromium issue with hardware acceleration affecting at least all Chromium-based web browsers on Linux. In case you're on Brave downgrading to 1.60 fixes it.

Default option is still usual phone call/iMessage in a lot of places - in some you can long press and select another option, but not all.

Also, merely opening a separate app doesn't really help. How about instead of having 5 different apps (that the system one sometimes generously allows you to open), you had one app that can seamlessly speak all protocols?

You can add multiple e-mail or contacts accounts (even from different providers) and it'll seamlessly merge them in the system Mail/Contacts apps - why can't we have the same for messages?
You can still pay for patches for Win2K if you pay MS well enough. There is a lot of critical infrastructure relying on legacy systems and Microsoft does have special programs for that.

Now whether China can get into them or not is another question since if they get patches they can RE the exploits as well…
C is not a large language, and a transpiler can choose to generate code that only uses a subset of the features of the language, and can choose to be consistent about safety mechanisms that the underlying language doesn't guarantee.

When you say "70s nonsense" are there specific C features you are concerned about? I would think that transpilation can just avoid bad practices like passing around void * pointers and then casting them optimistically, or even the use of char * for strings in favor of a bounds-checked alternative.
Beeper has caught a ton of media attention in recent weeks but I truly do not understand it. The SMS protocol has been around for decades and works perfectly fine with iPhones. If you want rich media and other bells and whistles, use WhatsApp. How often does someone whine so loudly about insisting on using the closed, Apple-proprietary protocol that their friends need to pay a monthly subscription for a third party interop app?
Well one of the bugs was the very small corner of the chest poked through the ground and at the right angle you could loot it without no clip.

Technically you could also just write a bit of JS within the HTML to do without needing any of the first 3.

You could querySelectorAll and check the src attribute etc, then fetch the content put it in the innerHTML.

<remote-fragment src="https://..." />

<script>

document.querySelectorAll("remote-fragment").forEach(async (el) => {

const src = el.getAttribute("src");

const result = await fetch(src).then((res) => res.text());

el.innerHTML = result;

});

</script>

Or if you want to react to any such component inserted at times down the line or src attribute changes, you could use MutationObserver.
The SQL Murder Mystery
2021:
While those paychecks were 4.1% larger in November than they were in January, they will buy 2.8% less due to rising prices.

Those rank-and-file workers have suffered less than their bosses. For all private sector workers, including managers and executives, weekly earnings averaged 3.1% more but could buy 3.0% less.

2022:
With an overall increase of 4.7%. But with inflation at 7%, the average person lost ground in terms of real income. This was particularly true for the middle half of earners who saw a median wage increase of only about 2.5%.

The picture was a bit better for low-wage earners, but not enough to shift the broader pattern for 2021: Inflation outpaced wage increases.

2023:
Inflation roared back to the highest level in over 40 years, then slowed markedly. In all, consumer prices are up nearly 15.7%. Gasoline is up 51.2%.

Raw wages, unadjusted for inflation, have risen every quarter of Biden’s presidency, and generally at higher rates than wages rose under his predecessor, Donald Trump.

But once you adjust for inflation, many of these gains disappear. Real wages — that is, inflation-adjusted wages — fell or were unchanged during the first six quarters of Biden’s presidency.

Never did I claim to represent everyone who has had atrocities happen to them. I'm just giving a data point that not everyone who has had someone murdered recoils in disgust at the sight of the word.

I would hope that this “best case outcome” also comes with regulations to keep other giants (mostly Google) from marketing and cross-promoting their way into dominance on iOS, creating monopolies in the process.

For instance, Google apps shouldn’t be able to drive Chrome installs by presenting a sheet offering to download Chrome every time I tap a link in them, as they do currently.
