Very high performance AA systems like Patriot and S-300 use a "track with missile" architecture that uses a transmitter on the launcher and a receiver on the missile that sends back a broadband signal which is processed by the base station which knows exactly what it transmitted a certain time ago.

That kind of system performs well against fast moving high altitude targets but it can struggle against targets close to the horizon. It's also crazy expensive, can have the downlink jammed, and has to keep the radar on for the whole engagement which makes the base station easy to target.

Many recent western systems combine a simple radar with a missile that can guide itself

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASAMS

usually a missile derived from missiles used on aircraft that are already mass produced. These are cheap and have the big advantage that they can turn the radar off for some of the engagement. Typically they send anticipated GPS coordinates of the target to the missile and the missile locks on with its own sensors (radar or IR) to complete the engagement. In principle you can turn the radar off to make it hard to find although if you can't send updated coordinates before the missile locks on it will not perform that well.

The thing that this is a simple and flexible system that doesn't have the close coupling between the radar and the missile, really any system capable of sending GPS coordinates can guide the missile so a system like that could be supported by a radar in a F-35, AWACS or some other platform. Similarly, it is not so hard to get GPS coordinates from a Soviet era radar so it should not be hard at all to use one with modern western missiles

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIM-120_AMRAAM

such a missile won't perform as well from the ground as it does launched from a plane but in practice that kind of system is frightfully accurate and does great against cruise missiles and similar targets that fly close to the ground. They're cheap too and any weapon you can have and afford is better than one you can't.

So your argument is that you trust governments more than you trust Apple, Google, and smartphone manufacturers?

I'm no fan of any of those companies, but that doesn't mean I think they're less trustworthy than governments.

In fact, a big part of the reason smartphones as a platform can be locked down to the extent they are is government regulation of the "phone" part. Regulations intended to prevent a bad actor from using a phone or similar device to blast everyone else within range off the air by transmitting at high power (or other similar nefarious things) have had the actual effect of making entire phone platforms into jails. What should have happened is that the "phone" part that controls things like transmit power should have been separated from the "computer-like device" part, so that the latter could be open, at least to the extent that PCs are. But that didn't happen, because government regulation is a very poor tool.
I agree with your comments a lot, just want to point out that questions like these:

Ironically, the best intern we had, who showed up every day on time, always had a smile on his face, was willing to do whatever, and left on good term, was likely from the most well off family. We all thought he was going to be a spoiled rich kid, but he was great.
It's good to be skeptical, but we should also welcome newcomers since that provides resiliency in cases where well established options shutdown or get subverted themselves. I might not run this on my own network personally, but it seems worth keeping an eye on. It's good having options, especially open source options. This project may even result in improvements being made to PiHole or AdGuard!

> 65% of domestic App Store revenue is on iOS, and the Apple app store is the only distribution channel. What market forces affect Apple's pricing power on commissions?

That just proves that Apple provides a lot of value through its platform and that developers are hungry to develop for it despite the platform fees, it doesn't prove that Apple's App Store isn't "subject to market forces".

> No, because like all things, it's about how you use it. Per the FTC - Exclusive dealing and exclusive distribution arrangements may be anticompetitive, however, if they are used to raise rivals' costs, exclude (or foreclose) competition, or facilitate tacit collusion.

This broad definition would apply from any company ranging from Nintendo to Walmart to Tesla. It's not convincing. If you are going to make the claim that "vertical integration is illegal" you should provide factual evidence stating this instead of just your broad interpretation of "Per the FTC".

I am not a developer but I have the same understanding of the situation. They were just too late. They even tried launching their own hardware. I remember in 2013/2014 when MS bought Nokia's devices business, they did significant promotion of their phones. This was already about 7 years after iPhone!

I also think that in general when people claim that "developers remembered," they are overestimating how much people actually remember and act upon that. Of course, there will be examples of people who held the grudge against MS and never did any development for them. But most people don't have such strong feelings after time has passed. Also, the developer pool is not static and younger developers are unlikely to have universally strong opinion about individual companies based on the past behavior. Recently a friend complained to me that the younger generation does not understand the gravity of 9/11. I pointed out to him that most of the kids he was complaining about were not even born in 2001.
Would delaying executive compensation/bonuses multiple years help mitigate these bone-headed decisions that seemingly only happen when everyone has a short time preference, leaving someone else holding the bag? (I'm genuinely curious.)

It is historical. BEEP was protocol from before HTTP was used for everything. It was simpler than HTTP with plain request response. It never got traction but HTTP APIs took the same space.

I think its main flaw is that wasn’t designed for specific protocol.

This isn’t about Apple vs Epic. This is about potentially illegal behavior by Apple that in this case negatively impacted Epic so they sued them.

So basically your stance is that you are ok with, or at the very least indifferent to, illegal behavior as long as it’s against people you don’t like.

That’s the basis of as lawless a society as one can get.

> Russia may very well attack the Suwalki gap and hit German cities with long-range missiles to terrorize Germans into dropping support for Poland and Lithuania, while threatening that any German response will unleash nuclear armageddon, as they are currently trying to break the morale in Ukraine.

Russia could certainly drop a handful of missiles on Frankfurt if they were feeling particularly stupid. They could not "reduce it to total rubble" or kill thousands, much less millions, except by using nuclear weapons (if their nuclear weapons even work).

> Russia has left the European Convention on Human Rights, not to mention "lesser" things like decriminalizing wifebeating, destroying the last remnants of freedom of speech and free expression, turning blind eye to anti-gay pogroms taking place in southern part of the country, systematically persecuting Russian human rights activists, and carrying out ethnic cleansing by conscripting and sending ethnic minorities to die as cannon fodder in pointless "meat attacks" in Ukraine.

That changes nothing about whether Russians in other countries are permitted to "speak their language and practice their culture".

> Ironically, in the entire world, Russia is one of the worst places to be in as a Russian - which is why all the top dogs in Russia have their children, wives and mistresses living in safety of the "degenerate" west.

They live in self-reliant countries with strong human rights protection including for Russians - again, not those countries that are dependent on the US nuclear umbrella.

Which is also said about anything that tends to go against the views of the other side. It's a bit of entertainment "based" on true events. Nobody claims it is the gospel according to.... They even qualify this in the interview I linked.

>You don't want to argue with Seymour Cray. Or with John Mashey, for that matter.

Sure, yet they definitely want to argue against the third one, as unlike the other two, it isn't an historically significant ISA that has now been replaced by something else.

Particularly, if they're implying there's something wrong with it and that they can do better, they should own up to that. Document what's wrong. Prove their way actually is better.

As it is right now, I have to understand it is just another instance of "the addressing modes I like having aren't there, so I made an ISA with them". A common occurrence, unfortunately.

I will definitely look at samsung again with my next mobile "era" when my iphone dies/is too slow.
> If you want to consider an "us vs them" with your example of the US Military, then okay. But I was consider us/we as human species. Before the US was even invented, Europeans were burning coal like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Does the US produce a lot, absofuckinglutely, there's no denying that. At the risk of whataboutism, there's plenty of other countries that have pollution levels today that the US has not seen since the 1970s. There are things that can be done, and it shouldn't be such a damn fight to make it better.

The point you are trying to make here is hard to parse. Could you rephrase? As a quick challenge... in your original post you talk about "We know we don't have to do these things" and I find statements like these assisine, especially when you further clarified yourself to me "we as a species." We as a species know nothing. Minds know things, species cannot. This is important. If you disagree, I would invite you to read Neo-nihilism (https://a.co/d/hWPpBBn) and think about how it applies to making collective calls about us as a species.

> Personal responsibility is the one that that a person can have direct change on though. To me, the real issue is the greedy corporations constantly looking to reduce costs at every turn to increase the profits. They introduced plastic to reduce costs from raw materials and shipping. The reduction in cost wasn't passed along to the consumers though. We've moved from shopping in local stores to having everything delivered in wasteful packaging.

I don't particularly disagree with the direction your heading, but you still are missing the complexity. "greedy corporations" is a shorthand for a much more complex situation that deserves to be considered, and it stills falls back onto the "If we just weren't so sinful, things would be better" trap. The paragraph was also an admission that even you believe my initial criticism was valid. just sayin.

No! We build as much as we fuck up. Also, fuck any idea predicated on what is "natural" or not. Mother cats eating their unviable kittens is natural. Ducks procreating mostly through rape is natural. 1 in 3 black cap chickadees dying every year just because of winter is natural. _Mosquitos_ are natural. Fuck all of that.

Small timeline correction: the rate changed in January, they only announced it in November.

I don't know that it was specifically Epic alone, and Apple certainly wouldn't outright say "we're doing this to help strengthen our ongoing legal arguments with these specific companies", but between Epic, legal complaints from other high profile companies like Spotify, and antitrust investigations in EU opening all at the same time just before that announcement time it seems an awful large coincidence to have a press release drop about how they're cutting the commision for 98% of developers to 15% but managing to leave 95% of the total revenue at the 30% rate with no influence from these external factors at the time.
Ever thought about going to the grey/black market? If the athletes can get it why can’t you? I could understand the reasons why you may not want to. I have chronic fatigue and if it wasn’t for black market medications I would still be stuck in bed until I ran out of money by which time the only state help I could expect is assisted suicide - which made the choice for me. Myostatin inhibitors peptides like follistatin 344 are pretty pedestrian compared some of the stuff I’m on. I would die long before the meds I’m on would get FDA approval.

> That just proves that Apple provides a lot of value through its platform and that developers are hungry to develop for it despite the platform fees, it doesn't prove that Apple's App Store isn't "subject to market forces".

That's really an argument for court. It could mean they've locked in a dominant market position they are abusing. Not for me to say, but you haven't made an argument otherwise.
Oh I wouldn't put it past Apple to take away your blue bubbles (or whichever one is the "good" one) if you do install non-Apple, non-Apple-app-store software on your phone.
Purchased a MY2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid in mid-2019 with 32k on it that was a former Avis rental, and my first ever car was a 2009 Kia Rio that was an Enterprise rental with around 56k.

Never had a problem with either-or and they both were perfectly cromulent to drive for tens of thousands of miles onwards. The Fusion is still in my home fleet today at 114,000 miles - something around 20k/year, even through the pandemic.

(And for a hybrid battery wear note: I'm still getting 35mpg in the winter and 40-42mpg in the summer in upstate NY.)
I read it as "for Barbies"
I think 30% is reasonable in a vacuum. But as a TLDR for a long winded rant: I don't care what a distributor takes as long as I have other options (even if it's economically inefficient. That just proves their rate is the best option) . And IOS gave none until this crumb of an olive branch popped up.

But what's happening is that this 30% is more or less a lock-in cost for the only official way to do business on IOS. And before this ruling, you weren't even allowed to mention in the app that consumers can also pay on your website. And now we come to this article saying "okay, you can show your website were still going to charge you 90% of our rate despite handling none of those transactions". And that's where things get really dicey.

With this new perspective, the question shifts to "is apple's 27% for distribution (minus payment processing) reasonable?" and I'm less sure. Especially when Apple can throw out my app for any reason whatsoever.

To use android for comparison, I can throw an APK up to download with relatively minimal effort, with zero regards for Google's rules and I owe Google 0% of my revenue. They still take 30% for using Google play as distribution. But it's nice knowing I could theoretically host it elsewhere if I don't agree with Google's pricing (minus some bribing issues Google is currently being taken to court for). There's none of that for Apple. Firefox is just a Safari skin because Apple says so. Emulator apps are in flux based on Apple's whims. Your app may be taken down for nudity as Apple profits millions from a few dozen games that barely try to hide it.
Please, Google has a long way to go down the path of corporate rot. Look at Boeing and GE, their cancer has cancer and they are still going.

Apple Watch imports banned in America – again
Typically, no, actually.

Take dumb phones before iOS came along, like on Symbian or Windows Mobile. Every carrier had their own App Store, their own awful SDK, their own rules and approval processes, and 50% was the minimum share.

It wasn’t just the apps either. It was the OS itself requiring carrier approval - something Apple managed to dodge through sheer clout, but that hereditary disease still plagues Android to this day.
> So you're saying: Not being positive == hate?

I didn’t say that, nor mean it.

And just wow - never in my most pessimistic estimation did I imagine that my post would be interpreted as defending “dehumanizing, devaluing and hate”.

Having lived in different cultures, I have experienced that perfectly acceptable wording of criticism of an idea in one culture was interpreted as a personal attack in another culture.

So the same wording of a critique didn’t “scale” across those cultures.

In a smaller scale setting, there’s a much better chance to hit the right tone for the smaller audience, so the criticism doesn’t come across as hurtful.

> Please give us a historical example where "letting your hate flow" led to scalable mass changing people

> With Apple, you don't have a choice if you want to be on iOS

And with Epic, you don't have a choice if you want to use the Unreal Engine. How can this argument go on and on and on? All your arguments can be used in reverse with the Apple competitors. Nobody is forced into anything, especially not developers.
