Interesting. I'm the author and I submitted this item immediately after publishing the blog post, 3 days ago. Nothing happened.

Later that same day somebody else submitted it and that time it hit new and got some good interest.

Why is this original submission of mine now showing a more recent date and needs to be marked as a dupe? And how could the other person post the same link I had already posted?
I get annoyed by tools like those featured here putting the language they are written in front and center like it's a defining feature about the application. The only thing that should matter (specifically with a compiled binary distributed program) is what it does and how well it does it.
It does though lol
Companies having a significant market share stolen by open source alternatives?
> The parent comment was complaining that legal consumption made the environment threatening.

What the top comment is implying as far as I can see is that going soft on drugs (“philosophical”, “internet argument”) is a solution for pen-pushers.

Fucked up as his story may be, what has the war on drugs really ended up accomplishing? Do we really think amping it up will make things better?

Legalization combined with harm reduction and strictly regulated point of sales (think how Sweden treats alcohol by selling it through systembogalets) is what will ultimately pull us out of the pit. Nothing else will.

A good chunk of society wants to get high, as long as they’re not serviced legally they are financing criminal empires. Not only are you getting no tax on those sales, you have to spend buckets of money on law enforcement to fight those criminal empires. Not to mention you’ll also have to spend money on police, EMT, hospital hours etc to cope with the less stable subsect of drug users, because they are currently out of government purview and thus unmanageable.

It shouldn’t even be a partisan thing, the right could easily sell it as increasing government revenue and restoring law and order. All without it costing the regular taxpayer a penny, as you can fund the new system with the drug tax.
Thankfully those have posed absolutely zero problems so I guess we should legalize meth.
The biggest problem with dying by overdose is measuring the dose. Legal drugs presume quality control and standardized dosing. This, alone, could prevent the majority of opioid deaths.
Honestly I don't get why so much software gets access to the entire filesystem just by running it. They should have made it so an .exe can only modify its own directory, a temp directory, and any file or directory passed to it by the user through the system's file picker or command line. That would solve 99% of the use cases.

Every time I program something that deletes files I get worried about accidentally deleting the entire filesystem by mistyping something. I shouldn't have to worry about that.

One of the reasons that webapps get as much trust as they do is simply because they don't have unrestricted file access. I wish there was an application format that promised the same on the desktop.
No, they could have avoided this outcome by not paying other companies to not compete with Google play. They paid off phone manufacturers like Motorola to not preinstall third party app stores and software companies like Riot Games to not produce third party app stores.
Kenya's nationwide power blackout sparks KPLC sabotage suspicions
By that measure, F-Droid is very close in that both have the majority of apps some people use (Aurora for you, F-Droid for me).

Neither can compete with the Play store though, as only Google's offering is allowed to update or install apps in the background without user interaction (without root). For that matter, only Google Play Protect (part of the Play Store IIRC) can uninstall apps from user's devices with no interaction.
I will not be surprised if this engineer is sidelined from future projects for being so out of touch. I hope it works out for them, but I've seen this before.
> I find it astonishing that nobody has the common sense to consider that the nature of this epidemic is uniquely American, and thus learn from the plenty of developed nations that don't have this problem.

FYI, most American cities aren't like this.

The article describes Portland for a reason: They're one of a small number of cities that experimenting with decriminalization (combined, theoretically, with treatment programs) under the theory that it would improve the situation. It has not improved the situation.

I think you might be viewing America through the lens of whatever stories make the news headlines, which is an aggregate of all the worst situations in the country. It's not representative of the entire country.

The US has about 200X more land than the Netherlands. It's huge and more diverse than you might be used to if you're imagining it as a parallel to where you lived.
The thing that I really like about fountain pens is that you can get a WAY finer line with one than you can with other pens. My favorite is the Pilot Kaküno, which is actually pretty damn cheap (in the ballpark of $15) but if you get the version with the extra fine nib it gives you (surprise surprise) a really fine line. I personally like it more than the more expensive pens I tried out, but I also never waded all that deep into the expensive end of the product pool. Spending more than $50 on a pen would shrivel my soul to ashes.

I can’t find it on Pilot’s website (hope they haven’t discontinued it), but it’s available on Amazon, etc.

Obligatory caveat: pen enjoyability is pretty subjective. I put a lot of value on stuff like how it feels when I’m writing and a fine line (so I can write tiny in margins, and just because it looks cool IMO), but your mileage may vary substantially.
Even my (extremely basic) modem from my cable provider does this. Auto channel switching/selection has been around for half a decade at the minimum.
Come on there has been a free iPhone model offer from one carrier or another most of the time since iPhones came out.
> If you want to charge money, Apple will collect it for you and take a cut. If you don't want that deal, you can still distribute your app for free, you just can't charge money for it in the app

Basically, you can't make money. Duh. You can't even place a link for a third-party payment system (the case to allow that is on its way to SCOTUS).

Apple is a mafia.
It is guaranteed to get appealed. This case will drag on for a few more years before we see a resolution.
How is this not all true for Apple and its app store?

Using “strange tokens” is fairly useful for holding the instructions apart from the learned corpus and confusing the model. This is for instance how you inject a LORA most effectively. Using common language tokens and semantics is more confusing to the model in separating control instructions from the relevant semantic context.
There's no "best" approach here. If you have RAM and enough cores, you can use JIT to achieve better performance over time for hot loops. Much better.

But if you need statically compiled code, no runtime is much simpler to handle, with a lot less to go wrong. But also expect performance that's just "ok". Nothing to call home about.
I think you mean "and", not "no". The semi-open ecosystem is a prerequisite to the payoffs.

Bike lanes on roads are the wrong solution (albiet a cost effective attempt to avoid spending real $$$). Bike lanes should be separate to avoid casualities and at least on roads drive opposite to the flow of traffic instead of mixed traffic.

My concern here is those building bike lanes are building it for a near future where cars are banned so my initial points are invalid to them.
iMessage is possibly the most effective vendor lock-in I've ever personally experienced. I resent it, but I don't have time to fight it. Maybe 1 of the 20 people I regularly text with use Android. The amount of video/photo sharing my wife and other family members have done throughout the years is via iMessage is downright incredible.
People who are addicts and have other mental issues are not well-equipped to maintain housing. Whatever housing you'd give them would very quickly turn into a slum.

Even just cleaning is a lot of work, not to mention additional maintenance (e.g. filter changes, landscaping, etc.), regularly taking out garbage, not flushing trash down the sewer, etc.

Unless you also want to hire staff to do that for them, in which case, sign me up. I want to live for free too and not have to work and do drugs whenever I want.

I too have the HD598, great open headphones: you can hear environment noises perfectly well, and they sound great.
When I need some insulation, I use the Audio-Technical ATH-M40X. Also sounding great, quite faithful, like the HD598. The price is similar.
Competition. Any bank can plug into FedNow for $25/month. It is unlikely banks raise rates, Zelle is free for example at every bank that supports it. I’d also expect Congress and the Fed to stamp that shit out quick considering this will eventually replace paper checks and ACH. FedNow is intended to operate on a cost recovery model.

Jury decides Google's Android app store benefits from anticompetitive barriers
The reason F-Droid does this is reproducible builds. Which is a big advantage because the code you see on GitHub is the binary you get in your device. It also means it's quite obvious when code is being added because you can reproduce it.

Of course the build platform being compromised is possible but that can happen even with binary distribution.
I’m so disgusted by the people who support these violations of rights. Even if someone isn’t a us citizen, they are still a human and should be treated as such
Criminalizing drug addiction is wrong, but letting drug addicts proliferate and live in squalor with no consequences is even worse. The pendulum has swung so far to the left, and now everyone is suffering. It really makes me wonder what these drug proliferation activists are thinking. Do they really think that seeing people lying on the sidewalks in their own feces is freedom or a good thing?
Because apple is not even considered here. They are more closed I guess. Android shopport open source and Linux based also maybe the case.
Just yesterday I stopped a handful of subscriptions all at once and it was excellent that there was a third party disinterested in trying to retain my business giving me a nice list of everything and a button to stop them. If I can subscribe through Apple Pay for anything, I will. It would be great if a bank had a workflow as nice as that.
> Hope that this happens to Apple eventually too.

It's a somewhat different situation with Apple.

You can't buy iOS on a non-Apple phone; and a quick Google search has the iPhone at about 22% of the market.
You need a microscope because otherwise you can't even tell them apart?

HN does generally feel the same about Apple. 30% cut is egregious especially when they give favors to certain app owners.

“Court System” is very contextual: the Texas Supreme Court just blocked a woman getting an abortion for a non-viable pregnancy.

Oxycontin is still legal, as is methamphetamine (Desoxyn) and cocaine (Numbrino). They can all be legally prescribed by a physician, although as DEA scheduled controlled substances they are subject to tight restrictions.

The issue with Oxycontin (and related opioid painkillers) wasn't the legal status. It was over prescription triggered by a range of unethical actions by pharmaceutical companies (mainly Purdue Pharma) plus some doctors who took advantage of the situation.

Read the article! Apple and Tesla aren’t the comps. Companies like Intel and Broadcom are. The industry as a whole has a 23% margin.

The 20% margin this year was an anomaly. It’s usually closer to 29%+
As others have pointed out, that's not really all that much more common. Another reason for it is I believe that Global Entry and Nexus both still have a blanket "no criminal convictions of any kind at any time" requirement... which rules out something like 25-30% of the US population. Precheck also has a criminal background check but it isn't immediately disqualifying in all cases.
The message I got is that everything is corrupt. I hope Google execs and shareholders also got that message.

Now finally some big guys are getting a sense of the issue with centralization. There can only be one government-ordained winner and it's not the one who plays fair and square who wins. It's usually the biggest political manipulator.

Google is in a weak position now due to the perceived risk of AI disrupting its business. When you show any weakness at all, the law starts working against you in the most blatant ways and it becomes self-fulfilling.
Despite your username, I just have to laugh. Millions of Americans use something other than iMessage. Apple doesn't have anything like a monopoly.
I'd love to see an example of this if you happen to have one available. I hit a startup-time issue in a previous life, and I wish I had spent the time looking at it back then
> This, alone, could prevent the majority of opioid deaths

Reduce, yes, but it's not a magic bullet. Many opioid deaths are from people taking pharmaceuticals in precisely measured doses, often in conjunction with other drugs. Others are from people who misjudge their tolerance after extended breaks, such as after relapsing.

Regardless, it's an entirely separate discussion than the problem in the main article: Increasing availability of drugs will worsen the societal problems in places like Portland.

I suspect increased availability of drugs would also lead to more deaths from polydrug abuse. People who normally take one drug might be more tempted to start mixing drugs if it's as easy as picking up some extra pills at the drug center down the street.
But most people don't care much about those claims. If the end result is "Google stops claiming to be open", that's a terrible outcome.
OP is saying they could also have avoided this outcome by not allowing competition at all. That's the route that Apple took and Apple won their case against Epic.

Google's plan was to maintain a de facto monopoly on app stores while technically allowing competition. Apple's was to just come out and say that they were the only authorized app store and therefore they can't be anti-competitive because there exists no market for iOS app stores.

Google is probably wishing they had taken that route now.
I understand that the return is mostly due to the appreciation of FTX's early investment in Anthropic (which prosecutors believed was made with customers' funds).
> Changing Orange to Apple and water meter to smartphone messaging, I don't see any inherent reason why the rules should be different.

Their choice of what water meter to use is completely transparent to you provided it works properly. It has no effect on how you use the service or any other aspect of your life. This is obviously not true of phones. The bundling of separate product categories is what makes the situation different, the same way that bundling water service with the arbitrary requirement of a "licensed faucet" would likely be illegal many places.
Damn, when I decided that I don't want a mechanical watch anymore, you convince me otherwise with this.
Oh, is Qualcomm the reason why adding cellular to an iPad is so expensive? I never understood how such a relatively small feature would cost that much. The alternative is that Apple just makes more money when setting prices like that. Would be curious how much of the price difference is extra license fees for Qualcomm.
Selective standards and lobbying
Sure, this post was about ChatGPT.
"The same against Apple" is very broad so I'm not sure what you're referring to, but Apple is presently less evil than Google.

* Google started out pure good and turned pure evil.

* Amazon started out mostly decent and turned mostly sleazy.

* Apple started out sort of in the middle and stated there.

"Middle" for Apple includes extremes in both directions. They do some pretty bad things with DRM, locking down devices, anti-repair, government corruption. They do some very good things with privacy, security, long-term support, and similar.

If it's a specific litigation (Epic v. Apple), courts are random. Very random. Legal processes have little grounding in any sort of objective anything, and kind of resemble a chaotic die roll.
Yeah and I don't understand why. Like we even have the old saying "9 to 5" but who works a 9 to 5 job? That used to be literally the hours which included the lunch break. I only know 8-5 or 9-6 jobs being the norm. And it's weird that we have this codified in our language but no longer in reality without any clear justification. I feel like a fast one was pulled on us here.
Devil's advocate: For Excel, it makes a bit sense to have app global undo because sometimes Excel books refer other opened books' data. For Word and PowerPoint, it's hard to advocate because I've never seen referring other docs.
yeah cities are zones of massive economic importance, we can't keep penalizing the people who work there because some drug addicts won't abandon the corner they sleep on. its literally insane.

who are we prioritizing in this situation and why? i care more about the people who have their lives together, they deserve priority.
But, that's a false premise. Apple doesn't allow competing app stores.
There are multiple ways to avoid an outcome.
Like I've been saying. We're not incentivizing the stewardship of open platforms. Apple will die before they open their garden.

I don't want to be pithy and low-effort here. I'm confused on why Google lost while Apple won.
As it did in Europe.
The only solution to what? While it might get the off the street, it will not cure the addiction. Are you then going to say that someone must be sober before receiving housing? So, again, what is it solving that it is the only thing that can solve it?
I think you misunderstood, I by no means think that all iPhone owners are psychopaths. I'm not even opposed to owning an iPhone. I'm just making the case that if there are a significant number of people who will cut you out of their lives for using an Android, that's a really good argument for using an Android, because it's rare to find a way to get terrible people to voluntarily cut ties with you with no further repercussions.
There are many occasions in my life where such a status would have saved me from extreme embarrassment. This would be especially useful in messaging and telephony services, or other mediums my ex’s use.
I'm an American with decades of history traveling to West coast cities.

Portland and Seattle in the past few years look completely different than they did even a few years ago. Both cities have always had run down parts, but now it feels like the blight permeates almost everything. Some of my favorite places to visit have either closed entirely or now have limited hours and require me to buzz in at the front door so someone can visually verify that I'm not a threat. I can't explain how strange it feels for this shift to have happened in a matter of years.
However, Apple's deals were for the purpose of undermining competing payment systems.
Apple sends their regards. Google would like a word.
Both of the uses in the article seem to be deprecated, though, and not used to imply "impairment". Kind of a dumb joke. What's next, "HTTP 69: Loop Detected Between Input And Output"?
Mostly stupid garbage that nobody gives a shit about.

But I like to dream that one day, my kids and grandkids will want to see blurry photographs documenting how much I binge-drank in college. Which sounds dumb, but I'd kind of love to see those photos from my dad and grandparents, if they existed!
This is a great example of a bad RFC: the description fails to motivate the necessity of establishing this concept of "rejected due to client impairment" let alone even define what "impairment" means in this context. Instead of where paragraphs explaining those would be, it instead talks right away about how "oh this applies to AI too, and by the way a proxy server is allowed to do this" - very small and irrelevant details in comparison!
Chien-Shiung Wu (1957): Chinese-American particle physicist denied Nobel Prize
I agree the issues are different! I do believe there’s a subtle argument to be made about how Apple can use its customer base to “pick winners” (combo of huge user base + App Store being the only entry point), on top of things like offering sweetheart deals to certain apps. Meta being allowed to get away with so much “against the App Store rules” stuff is legit IMO.

Anticompetitive behavior can be downstream of stuff like this, even if Apple isn’t actively quashing something but merely making it way easier for certain places to absorb the costs (especially if the deal was only offered to Netflix but not to other platforms).

Its not a ironclad argument by any means but its something
Potential workflow, not that I consider this “sane” but rather a workaround:

Swipe up from bottom screen edge to open Control Center, toggle Cellular Data off, send as SMS, then toggle Cellular Data back on?
Piracy isn't the issue here.

It's the fact that Nintendo, Sony etc wouldn't be able to enforce any licensing revenue since users could just install any game directly.

For Nintendo it would decimate the company since it's their primary revenue stream.
Yeah, I don't have issues either. But in the US, in gen z and younger social circles, the "green bubble stigma" is a very real thing.
Solution: don't replace the window and let the goddamn child pay for his sins during the whole winter. That'll teach him. Hint: I'm a non parent.
Eh, just being really big isn't going to be enough by itself. Apple has just a bit over half the market, they're definitely not a monopoly. The gov't won't get involved.
> Data should be stored as normalized as possible, but queries are supposed to denormalize to present information in the desired format.

The desired format depends on the application.

At this point a substantial portion of all SQL queries are generated by (and the results consumed by) ORMs.

For that use case having results that include Products and Categories separately (so you can instantiate Product and Category objects) is more useful than a single table.
Not sure if they still do, but Eugene used to buy you a one-way bus ticket to Portland or Salem and some food vouchers if you claimed to have family there. They didn’t really verify.
Couple of thoughts for HN as a lawyer:

1. The fact that Google lost here doesn't bind or affect apple. Jury verdicts aren't binding on any party other than those in the lawsuit. Apple may or may not be found to violate the law in a separate case.

2. Interesting no one has mentioned Epic's Chinese ownership. I could see Google complaining to us govt that it's unfair for Chinese tech to win these court cases against US tech.
Google has already appealed this.

I imagine the Supreme Court will probably rule on this case. I’m not looking forward to whatever boneheaded precedent they’ll set in the process.
