> Now they have to support an open standard/protocol, though. That's not negligible effort.

Evidently not, given the existence of Beeper Mini without intervention on their part. In fact, they're actively spending effort on breaking a working implementation that took them no effort. And either way, they have trillions of dollars and some of the brightest people in tech under their belt. If your argument is that they're not capable of making that protocol work, you're wrong.

>But that's seamless; I've never had to wait or make that choice.

It's seamlessly giving you less functionality, sure. This is not a matter of opinion: Being able to send iMessages to Android users is a feature that iPhones currently do not have at all. Apple is choosing to not give you that functionality when they could be. With something like Beeper Mini, you as an iPhone user gain more functionality by being able to send iMessages to some Android users. Even if it fails sometimes, it is still functionality that simply did not exist at all before. This is only beneficial to you as an iPhone user because you now have functionality that you did not before. I don't know if that can be phrased any more directly.

I don't think the notion that humans are self-interested is particular surprising. It's more notable when we are not.
Just look at research. The harm rates are stable across countries because gambling addiction is a real addiction, it occurs regardless of governmental structure (but serious harm can be prevented by effective regulation, HK is an example of a country where overregulation has led to massive harm).

It didn't use to be manageable before, you probably just didn't hear of it happening. Remember online poker used to be widespread. Illegal sports betting was very widespread. Someone "irresponsibly" losing money isn't the same thing as an addiction either (if you do research into why people get addicted to gambling, you will find out that it isn't about money, it is often about sensory experiences which sports betting does not provide).

6 definitely isn't rare. For example, iPhones started supporting Wi-Fi 6 with the iPhone 11 Pro in 2019.

But isn't that how it always is? Whatever next version is going to be rare until it's not...

You have to start releasing products using it at some point.

Wi-Fi 7 is schedule to be released May 2024, but there have been devices released already supporting it for awhile now via the Draft standard. Just do a search for wifi 7 on Amazon.

The Pixel 8 supports Wi-Fi 7 for what it's worth.

I assume the iPhone 16 in fall 2024 will support Wi-Fi 7.
I know that HN is not one homogeneous opinion, but it always comes up in these Apple threads that all this device attestation and secure enclave stuff is unambiguously good because Apple does it, but when it comes to TPM key escrow or Web Environment Integrity suddenly everyone is up in arms about how it's a total violation of a user's freedoms to do what they want with their device.

You shouldn't defend something that's inherently consumer hostile just because it happens to be for something you like.
I would argue that claim (if not complete bullshit) said infinitely more about them, their family and friends. You are taking “these people owning an iphone are psychopaths” as “all people owning an iphone are psychopaths”.

In order for antitrust laws to apply, it’s not enough to exhibit monopolistic behavior. You actually have to be a monopoly and use this behavior to achieve and/or retain it.
I've long thought battery swapping seemed to be a great idea. Every time I've brought it up around here I'm told that I don't understand the problem.

That’s the part that’s most shocking to me. It seems like the safest approach to legalizing sports betting would be to prohibit advertising, just as we have with e.g. cigarettes.
Authorization is the first step of setting up Beeper Mini.

Some useful history, the AOL/MSN chat wars: https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-19/essays/chat-wars/

AOL finally "won" that one by making a buffer exploit in their own client part of the required protocol. Later a court required them to allow messaging interop (as part of the Time Warner merger). They never implemented it.

It does seem like legalization made it qualitatively worse. To quote the parent comment:

> Then when I was home for the holidays every man I knew from my home town that was near my age was doing it.

From how he's describing it, this sounds like a big change. I'm also getting the sense that maybe 1 in 100 guys did it before, and it's dropping to like 1 in 10. I think the reason is that drugs can be bought in cash, but bettors depend on credit cards, and when that rail was legalized, the floodgates opened.
I've gone through the system in a similar fashion, but with no where near the same outcome as you did. If I hadn't gone through a similar situation I would almost believe that you were making it up, that's how ridiculous this is.

For context I got stopped in a car with a friend who had weed (unknown to me at the time), had a really old warrant for something like a missed child support payment (also didn't know), and we were both removed from the car. Mind you, I was not driving, and the car did not belong to me, I was simply a passenger. Cops claim they have cause to search the car, I can't argue otherwise, car gets searched, weed was found, we both get hit with the charge.

I was expected to pay $6000 for possession, spent a week in jail, lost my job, and had to travel 3 hours to the court house to "appear" in front of a judge with no means of getting there because every waking moment needed me to find a job and save any money I had to pay upcoming rent and needs, in addition to paying child support and not missing a payment otherwise I would end up in jail.

That's how quickly this shit escalates, had I not found a ride to get to the court house at least twice, I would've been arrested for bail jumping, and lost my new job, and my apartment.

Apologizes if I'm taking away from your experience, not my intention. I feel like that if others don't come to share similar stories, people are quick to dispel your situation as a one off, and accuse of not being responsible.

transformers outsources those types of tasks to accelerate, also developed by Hugging Face: https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate/index

I can't speak to the efficacy of it at large scale, though.
I think the term to search for here is usually "price fixing" and maybe "price gouging". Usually artificial scarcity is used to raise prices. Think cartels, monopolies, Da Beers diamond artificial scarcity, drug companies hiking prices.

I also vaguely recall some fashion brands destroying products that haven't been sold. Probably more controversial if you have to kill an animal to create the product.

Similarly other stores, like grocery stores, throw out or destroy unsold goods.

Some of these are easier to rationalize than others, but I think all have generated some notable level of hate from society.

But they keep on doing it, so maybe it's worth it.

There's also Cryptocurrency and NFTs to consider.

Edit: Adjusting my tone a bit: I do think that society has stopped at least some price fixing. Here is a quote from Wikipedia:

> The lysine cartel was the first successful prosecution of an international cartel by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in more than 40 years. Since then, the DOJ has discovered and successfully prosecuted nearly 20 international cartels.
> It literally doesn't matter if the prosecutor thinks someone should be convicted or not, that's for the judge to decide. The job of a prosecutor is to make as strong a case for conviction as he possibly can.

It's unfortunate that you're probably right in the de facto sense. This is how many prosecutors view their role. But it's wrong. This is not the prosecutor's objective. Their obligation is to strive toward justice, not a conviction. If a prosecutor has a reason to believe the accused is not guilty, they have an obligation to act on that. To dismiss the charges, to share their belief with the defense, etc.

Here's someone explaining it[0] better than I can:

> The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all, and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the two-fold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor—indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one

Another good quote [1]:

> For this reason, while a lawyer defending a man accused of a criminal offense should "exert all his ability, learning, and ingenuity, in such a defence, even if he should be perfectly assured in his own mind of the actual guilt of the prisoner," a lawyer should never prosecute
"a man whom he knows or believes to be innocent."

OpenAI's Investors Don't Own It
To force the incumbents to do better.

Same reason they originally created Chrome - they needed a browser that was faster and enabled more complex web apps, and they were sicks of the offerings at the time, so they built their own.
https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/18/21572302/apple-app-store...

For context: Epic launched their lawsuit in August 2020, fighting the 30% cut, and less than 3 months later Apple lowered it to 15% for small businesses. Absolute coincidence, I'm sure.
It's about much more than web browsers at this point, in fact I think its biggest impact will end up being outside of them
> But they prevailed only because the judge had broken his code of conduct in discussing the case with media;

You seem to think this was a terrible, terrible accident on the part of the judge, rather than just one of the many mechanisms by which the powerful evade laws to protect the weak. That is, a deliberate terrible terrible "mistake".
There is consumer level software that lets you analyze bands and channels and select less noisy ones. If that kind of feature was somehow integrated into WiFi itself alongside widening spectrum bandwidth, that would probably go a long way. Easier said than done, I know, but there's got to be some better solution than running some program and looking at what's being used once a month or so.
> Part of it is the ubiquity of advertising

This cannot be overstated.

I like to watch my local hockey team. To (legally) access their games, you must pay $30/mo (or have a cable TV package that includes it). Once you pay the entry fee, you're then to subject to _near constant_ ads for gambling: at least one gambling ad every commercial break (and which translates to ~10 ads just during periods), betting lines and bookmaker logos in scorebugs, full-screen takeover ads with reads during breaks in play, ads for on-network shows covering gambling more in depth, etc.

Oh, and at one point the team had a sportsbook _inside the arena_ (it's since been replaced with a different sponsor).

It's completely taken over sports broadcasts.
It would be interesting to go over each connection and figure out what it really does. E.g. "contile" from Firefox: "The goal of this service is to pass tiles from partners along to Firefox for display while ensuring customer privacy and choice".
"detectnetwork": tests whether the network connection requires you to log in or accept the network's terms before permitting you to use the network.

the purpose of Tesla is to make money. The plan of Elon is gain fame out of this monetary success.

What facts is there showing he chose to "help expedite the move towards a solar electric economy" over classic capitalist business decisions?

The thing that tends him some altruistic aura is that his plan to make money was very risky, very crazy, so people feel the need to assign it some higher purpose, while in fact money and eventually fame has always been the purpose.

> I struggle with the freedom for personal choice to do what you want vs the collective better situation we get to form for ourselves as a society by banning these things, but I think I'm just leaning more towards the latter now.

I am 100% in favor of banning sports betting. The thing that makes it obvious for me is the "losers only" policy all of the sports betting sites have. If you consistently win by taking advantage of incorrectly priced odds you'll be banned.

All it takes is watching a few YouTube videos with sharps (aka winning bettors) or arbitrage bettors and you can see the scam. If you consistently lose, welcome aboard! If you consistently win, GTFO!

IMO, that makes it predatory. At a minimum, they should be forced to accept all bets and banning someone for winning should be illegal.
we have an overcomplicated, never seen before, explanation involving a short structure of two short logs joined together for an unknown purpose that nobody could explain. Too short to be a building, too big to be a tool (Is this a 1mx1m house, a prehistoric walmart? a doll house? the earliest proof of a christian cross in the planet?) The structure somehow managed to survive for an awful lot of time, and was dated by a strange indirect method. If the sand is old, the wood is old (and the people sunbathing in the beach is also old).

This is explanation 1.

I proposed a much more simple explanation, that explains the notches, and also the position of the pieces, and also why the logs didn't root; and also a reasonable purpose for this structure that does not depend on extraordinary claims. This particular structure can be also easily replicated today

This is explanation 2

One of this explanations can be published on Nature. One is more probable than the other. One, or none, of this explanations are correct

I keep seeing people claiming that explanation 1 is correct "because experts are right, because they are experts (and know better)". A circular reasoning known in logic as fallacy of appeal to authority. Check the definition if you think that is used here incorrectly.

Nope, this is not an acceptable proof of anything

"You can't be right because, who do you think that you are, jackass?" is also an equally ludicrous response. Sorry If I broke your little Indiana Jones heart. Who do you assume that I am is not relevant. (LOL, you don't even know me).

I see the experts proposing that as there is a notch, it must be an imaginary rope, glue or whatever to join the logs, to support their narrative. My explanation does not rely on hypothetical proofs like an imaginary rope (that lets admit it, nobody has found)

Chop marks on firewood are expected, but don't imply necessarily "Tell Nature that they were trying to build a boudoir".
I wonder how many of the people complaining about the Apple ecosystem are doing so using a Google browser on a Google operating system running on a Google hardware device and found this site using the Google search engine and signed up using a Google Mail mail address and do work using Google's office suite and are listening to a video or music on Google's video sharing platform in the background as they type.
I imagine the increased surface area of the worm drive may cause more loss to friction than desirable.
I think webassembly actually acts as a reliable target when building software. Every platform will have a fast web assembly runtime. So you just build for it and you can deploy for any platform mobile or desktop.
There is a contradiction in the intersection of "bring your whole self to work"-type organizations and "except that"[this article].

At the root of this is emotional alienation - the fundamental realization that workers are a means to an end, a class of people divorced from one of the core ideas of what makes people human - emotion.

When displaying emotions makes management uncomfortable, I see a great opportunity to dig in and start with five whys. Equally possible, could management simply not experience discomfort?
Is there some law of nature that allows humans to achieve a rate of technological advancement that is beyond what “bores” you?

I honestly have no idea what you are trying to say?

Are you saying that I am not entitled to progress? If so, I am not saying that I am. I am just saying that (IMO) some other companies are now more innovative and that should worry Apple more. Short term they can try retain users by locking them in, but at some point people will buy alternatives because they surpassed Apple's products at their price points.
It's viewable via Nitter:
https://nitter.net/SenWarren/status/1733956234200445130

But I agree with the earlier point, that it is a closed platform. If you want to respond, I thought it requires a phone number now in addition to email? It used to at least. And if Twitter doesn't like you, why is your ability to communicate with an official regulated by this private company? And Nitter is likely to get shutdown by Twitter any moment now in the same way as Apple is trying to shutdown Beeper.

Businesses have a huge incentive to censor these models - it's appreciated that these are released without it, but a business has a lot of concerns about what is said around anything they are offering as a service.

The point was just that production implies a business use and that implies the need to make sure there are guardrails in place to make sure the model sticks to the business purpose instead of teaching people how to make pipe bombs. Not that anyone thinks that prevents people from learning how to make pipe bombs - they just don't want to be the ones doing the teaching.
