Or to put it another way:

It looks like Boris created, nurtured and sold something (to safe, loving hands), with nice closure. That to me sounds like something to be very proud of, and something that you can cherish and reflect back on with positive (not bitter-sweet) emotion, and keep in contact with the friends made along the way.

And the freedom and opportunities ahead are also something that might be harnessable? That power... You can generate a 'bubbly school-holidays' emotion from something like that. Apprehension + Excitement + Unknowing + Freedom?... I don't know, 'bubbly school holiday feeling' is what I always come back to in order to describe it.
If you handle the finance department within an organization, or if you are part of a finance team, you might have been confronted with several of those questions. These are valuable thoughts that need to be handled speedily for the smooth running of the contractual processes.
Fujitsu UK is Japanese-owned, but it was run independently by local management, AFAIC.
Doesn't sound interesting at all, as the two matters are unrelated.

Apple isn't charging for use of the iOS platform SDKs; the developer agreement is much more vague and weasely about what they're charging for, being the developer's "agent and/or commisionaire".

Per-sale licensing for a copyrighted (or patented) work is pretty normal and done in many industries. Apple's agreement doesn't specify any fees for licensing at all.

Unfortunately the comment:upvote ratio will trigger (has already triggered?) the flamewar detector.

I’d love to see more discussion on this (aside from the quality of the article itself), as it’s something I’ve always felt needs to be figured out.

But it’s already fallen off the FP, so the discussion will likely be mostly done at this point.
IIRC there was also a desalination waste problem.

in the near term (the next three orders of magnitude of human energy usage growth) it probably isn't practical

rectenna arrays might have been a reasonable idea when solar panels were expensive. they're still reasonable if you're willing to use a microwave beam that's concentrated enough to be a devastating weapon of war. sunlight is 1000 watts per square meter, and that's already enough to heat up a tin roof or the interior of a car to temperatures that will burn or kill. if you boost that by a factor of 10 or 100, you could get a higher-density "power plant" on the ground that's cheaper than the equivalent solar farm

but you still have to build the solar farm, you just build it in space. right now that's much more expensive, and, as jacquesm points out, rejecting waste heat in space is more difficult. there are a few possible ways that building it in space could be better:

1. if robots are mining asteroids for minerals, they can build solar panels in space that don't have to survive earth weather, or for that matter launch or reentry. plausibly they could be under a micron thick, thus using thousands of times less material than earth solar panels. conceivably you could even do this with terrestrial factories if you have cheap enough and gentle enough launch, which you don't, but maybe with bfr you will

2. if barbarians are mobbing your castle with pitchforks and torches, banning borax and methyl ethyl ketone, coercing you into swearing loyalty oaths, or threatening to put your family in ovens because of your ethnicity, you might prefer to have your solar panels somewhere they can't reach

3. to make the transition from a kardashev type 1 civilization to a kardashev type 2 civilization, obviously covering the entire earth with solar panels is insufficient, so you have to put them somewhere else

4. you can put the solar panels much closer to the sun than the earth is, so they produce much more power per unit area

obviously none of these are relevant right now, but sooner or later they will be

> I find it interesting seeing the arguments here on how Apple should keep its large cut for years after it's become sustainable, but when mentioning the idea of giving copyrighted artists any sort of royalty (it'd be far, far, far from 30%) for training LLMs that the argument shifts back to "well they got paid already".

Do you account for the fact that it might not be the same people making both arguments? Most websites’ readerships are not monoliths and even on HN there are plenty of people with different perspectives, and who are not necessarily vocal in the same threads.

> So, how long does Apple get to reap the rewards of their old accomplishments from 18 years ago? how long should such works be benefited from before we shift the dynamics back to being "a public commons"?

That’s an interesting argument, but it’s usually not discussed with any nuance. Basically there are several layers:

- are we entitled to Apple opening their platforms? (AFAICT the opposite would be a first though the EU seems to be going that way)

- is Apple entitled to profit from the App Store in principle? (Some people are arguing that they are not, but they are a fringe; Epic lost their argument about that)

- is 30% too much? (But then, where is the line? It’s more or less the standard for closed platforms

Where would you put your “public commons”? Did this ever happen?
The sum of money mentioned at the start of the article corresponds to about 10 cents per person per day for the US population. But that includes the people who don't take them at all, so it's about 20 cents per person per day for the people taking them. People are paying too much, I think.

Multivitimin tablets from a UK supermarket cost about two pence each, which makes me think it's worth taking them just in case one's dificient.

People keep claiming that absorption of vitimins in pill form is not good but they never seem to make that claim more precise: Which vitimins in particular? What aspect of pills makes absorption difficult? Is it the chemical form, the physical form, the fact they're all entering the body at one time? Without a bit more specificity it sounds to me like the sort of story people like to invent or massively overgeneralise.
How are you quantifying "growth"?
Also you could swap out hot spots with assembly trivially as it had an inline assembler. And you had indirect pointers in it!
I'm sure whatever you were using to write GUIs was still just rendering nested rectangles and styling them.
>Apple spent billions of dollars creating an app platform with a clear monetization model

I don't want their platform forced down my throat. On my PC I can download and install software from wherever I see fit. Had I not being a MacBook Pro user for the time being, I would have a chance to upgrade RAM and SSD without paying twice on the damn device.

If anything, I consider Apple being an anti consumer company. What is good for them, is not good for the end user.

That being said, their devices do have some advantages.
So is OpenShot. It's a weird thing to complain about.
I’m on a sabbatical after a layoff most of us had months’ notice to. I’ve been “unemployed” for almost 5 months. I like it. I’m actively interviewing now that the holidays are over, but it seems like the market is still light, no doubt due to all the layoffs that have happened as recently as this month. Eh. I’ve got 30 more years to work, what’s a few more months off?
I don't think it's an evil conspiracy either, just everyone simultaneously assuming that "thin and light" is the most important trait of all, and must be achieved at all costs (i.e. at the cost of everything else).
OpenAI CEO Altman says at Davos future AI depends on energy breakthrough
That works as long as there is not a pervasive trend to push the 'provocative thing', also as long as the 'provocative thing' is not something that would be totally off-limits if applied to a different group or category. Imagine an article which complained about thing X being a representation of blackness in a negative context and decide for yourself whether you would consider it in the same light.
Global smartphone market grows 8% in Q4, with Apple on top
I think where this could work with Epic is if they can convincingly argue that the reason they no longer have a business relationship with Apple is because of the issues still under dispute in front of the court. No idea if they'd win that argument, but if standing ends up being a question, that's probably where they'd have to go.

> I don't know how to tell this without being condescending, but do you guys even understand how farming works?

Not sure why you're being condescending when you're totally uninformed & wrong lol.

> The fertile soil is a result of a long process of bringing organic material and ash and depositing it on the field. Exactly the opposite of what we are doing today

2 minutes of research would tell you that the Terra Preta soil consists of
- tiny, broken pottery shards
- weathered charcoal
- bones/compost/manure

> It is very easy to see how this developed. They probably have noticed that if they keep throwing their leftovers or feces in a particular area, everything starts growing better there. The same if you throw out ash. Which they had lots of beacuse they were burning a lot of wood every day, living in the rainforest and not facing energy price hikes. If you have a village and you hunt and gather every day, if you constantly keep burning wood fire and spread it all around your village for thousands of years -- guess what -- whether you planned it or not you will create those fields because I bet nobody would be trucking the garbage far from the village.

The fact that you keep referring to them as hunter-gatherers when they've clearly developed an advanced fertilizer is hilariously absurd.

They were clearly advanced at farming.
The problem I've always had with the two yubikey-model (except for cost an inconvenience of course) is that you can't really keep the second key in cold storage, because you need to enroll it to new accounts. That doesn't happen every day, but probably regularly enough that you can't keep in a bank vault or something.

On the other hand, you know the second one works and haven't spontaneously bitrotted.

My nerdy preferred version would have been (pre-passkey) to have a hardware token where the root secret is generated out-of-device and exist on e.g a paper backup or something. Then I could just buy a new hardware token and inject the same token if the device dies.
Have a friend like this. He's 50. Just got diagnosed with haemorrhoids. And that's no joke. He can't run or do any weights whatsoever. He can have an operation to try to fix it but the success rate isn't great. He lived a life of being in good shape through exercise and limiting intake, and he took his multivitamins. But his actual diet was not good. Very very few vegetables and not much fruit.

He's not gonna die of a heart attack, but I wouldn't rule out the big C (particularly bowel).

I have not tricked myself into liking healthy food. But even if I have, isn't that a good thing? Like using some mental conditioning to enjoy running or the buzz you get from solving puzzles for a living. A life long bad diet catches up with you.

I love the texture and taste of a salad that has crunchy vegetables finely chopped, grilled low fat halloumi, roasted hazelnuts, pomegranate or other fruit and some dressing I concocted. It's zero effort to love it. Did I "learn to like it" or do people learn to stomach deep fried foods? Why one and not the other?
War gaming goes way back. Napoleon did it. Chess is a form of it and it’s thousands of years old.

The odds of succeeding with a bootstrapped software startup are tiny. Though I don't know maybe it's different in the US.
People seem to think that the customer exists because of the iPhone app store, when it's often usually the other way around. Other than a small handful of apps being promoted for free in the app store, the majority of businesses have to spend very real, very expensive advertising dollars or offer a unique product to attract customers. If you have your own product your customers want but they just happen to have an iPhone, you're now forced to pay the maker of their device 30% off the top of your gross revenues like some kind of Mafia. This same Mafia does everything they can to make sure that web/Safari experience is as poor of an experience as possible so that users prefer native apps delivered through the app store.

Imagine if you sold expensive CAD software through your own sales team and advertising efforts completely offline but because some of those users were on Windows they have to get it through the Windows store and 30% of your topline revenue went to Microsoft?

Because of the way online marketing/advertising works with competitive bidding in a lot of cases I would bet that Apple is making more margin than the developers of the apps are. Your competitor who doesn't have to pay a 30% Mafia shakedown fee for their product will be able to outcompete you on clicks every time.
>My bank generates revenue by offering me a service in return for my money, not by monopolizing access to my money and then charging people who want to sell to me for the honour of allowing me to buy their goods and services.

Well, maybe Apple should open a bank. You just gave them ideas. :)

He gives reasons why it didn’t work for him. He gives 10 pillars of his personality, 4 of these pillars were standing due to his company ownership. You don’t need to have the exact same pillars, but you need to project it upon your own life and see how selling the company would effect your personality. Then consider it for yourself if it’s worth it.

The binding is coming from inside the building, so to speak. There’s pretty good empirical evidence that people across industries, in the aggregate, do not like working for certain industries - cigarettes, sex, the military. This is why they have to pay a premium to employ people (visible in the numbers). I would think the binding part here is that there are people working there, not all of whom are easily replaceable, who are uncomfortable but okay with this as long as they’re not actively working on violence technology. If that changes, they will enforce the “penalty” by leaving.

> Already around 1830, shortly after Norway’s separation from Denmark, there grew an uncertainty as to what to call the language. Some preferred Danish, just as most American nationals called their language English. Others insisted on Norwegian, just as some Americans preferred American; this usage, however, caused sharp reactions from some Danish circles.

Reminds me of other countries: Austrians (I think) have settled on calling their language "German" (which it is, of course). In Moldova, the question of whether to call the language "Romanian" (supported by those who want closer ties to Romania) or "Moldavian" (supported by those who favor independence or closer ties to Russia) has become a pretty divisive issue.
As someone who has developed a commercial app and spent time on the app store - their review process is a joke... there are non-compliances all over the store and I suspect a lot of their review process is highly automated.
Show HN: NLP Based Data Engg Tool
Hello All,

We are working on and about to launch in Beta a data engineering tool which is completely chat based.

Looking for some help in getting beta customers for early feedback.

MAIN USP
- Chat interface: Very simple to use
- No learning curve
- No technical knowledge required to use, simply type what you want in plain English language
- Very fast speed of development, data engineering at the speed of typing

Simply chat, see in preview how your chat is affecting the data and then finally schedule.

This can be used by data scientists who are looking to process or clean data before they run their ML AI algos. It can be used by BI Enggs who often need to create calculated tables columns for their further BI analysis. It can also be used by Data Enggs as it can really speed up their entire data pipelines creation work exponentially.

Right now we are supporting only structured data but later we would add support of unstructured data also. Also in future not only data engineering but even data science work also you would be able to do.

Please reach out on support@askondata.com with any questions, suggestions or feedback.

Thankyou to this lovely community
This isn't about performing a syscall to get the time, this is about the kernel handling a syscall and in the process checking the time too many times.

And getting the time without a full syscall is hardly unique to Windows. On Linux, that's almost the entire point of the vDSO.
The purpose of this class action would be to force Apple to change policies going forward (which would presumably give choices to developers that would allow them to save money and increase their profits). Any cash distributed in the settlement would be a bonus.

But I do agree that most developers probably wouldn't be interested. They don't want to stand up their own payment processor, or don't care to do integrations with a bunch of third parties, and tolerate the fees to use Apple's payments platform. And for many of these developers, their entire business is built on their relationship with Apple. Getting their developer accounts terminated would mean shutting down entirely.

They probably do care a lot about developers staying on their platform. The 30% is only from companies making more than $1 million. Otherwise you can qualify for 15% small business program.

I don’t need them to be my friend or to care about me but as a share holder I want them to succeed. So far their R&D has proven valuable to me as both a consumer and share holder.

I don’t care if a few people who already have everything get richer. Since I believe the company is doing great things and I think it still has a bright future ahead I get to share in that upside too. And so can you if you want to.
You’re mixing up morality of life with impact on humanity.

Medicine is great because it helps save lives (there is “non-medicine” which also achieves some good outcomes here). The internet, the instant exchange of information, is great because it magnifies humanity’s greatest power: mass collaboration. With the Internet, medicine could emerge. At least in the form of exchange of ideas and data, and subsequently spread its positive impact faster. The world’s greatest physician scientists working together.

Also I am guessing the ads bit was hyperbolic but like, common, Google is a verb for a reason. We’ve never had access to information like this before. And this is just focusing on something abstract like “information”.

And so, I disagree.
I wish the US would get on the ball and implement something like this. It's way past due. Not only that, but I believe these tech companies along with ISP's need to be broken up as well to add some more competition.
