Boeing did a lot wrong on the MCAS system.

The pilots were, however, not entirely powerless (and Boeing relied too heavily on this fact in their design, I suspect). The 737 memory items include the memory items for a stabilizer trim runaway (which an MCAS malfunction presents as). Every pilot with a 737 type rating had to memorize and recite those memory items.

The Ethiopian 302 crew came incredibly close to saving their aircraft by virtue of correctly executing that checklist, leaving themselves with an airplane that was heavily out of trim but probably recoverable. They flew in this configuration for 2m33s (what the final report calls "Phase 4"). In the course of stabilizing and recovering the airplane, they (knowingly) reversed the checklist actions they used to save the plane initially (entering Phase 5), in conjunction with commanding aircraft-nose-up (ANU) trim manually, then for unknowable reasons (perhaps simple human overload), left the stab trim powered up and stopped commanding ANU trim, at which point the underlying MCAS fault drove the airplane to the crash. It was possible to save the flight and the crew struggled valiantly and almost achieved that save.

The pilots were placed in a very difficult situation, but they were not powerless. It's a terrible look for Boeing to point that out, especially in the manner and tone they did.

I know many people who find themselves stuck in Apple's ecosystem since while they personally could switch out their computer and relearn everything, they can't really disrupt the things their older family are used to on other devices and expect them to relearn everything.

Combined with Apple's love of walled gardens (and therefore very limited interoperability with other platforms), switching out would cause too much friction.

Similar to how while I can buy my parents new Android phones as upgrades, they'll just go back to the old ones if they can't have the old school navigation bar they're used to. Unlike me they're no longer willing to relearn how everything works every few years.

It's always kind of annoying seeing this "just don't use it" argument, as it completely ignores that part of the point of the walled garden is that it gradually forces people to be so invested in the garden that it becomes increasingly expensive to leave it. It's a similar network effect as what keeps abusive platforms like YouTube alive despite no one really liking it.
Oh hey! I ghost-wrote an earlier article that references the same idea (https://blog.google/technology/ai/bard-improved-reasoning-go...). I wonder if they came to it independently or if they read mine and it planted some seeds? Either way, super cool work.
It's not a toggle, but Google Pixel phones (or at least the one I owned a few years ago) come with very few if any bloatware type apps, since the default Android apps are the Google apps anyway. Contrast with Samsung that duplicates a bunch of core apps/functionality.

I’m asking for evidence of these settlements.

The claim is corporations are being given a free pass relative to how individuals are being treated. I’m not seeing that signal. What I am seeing is Americans becoming more sceptical about intellectual property as a result of the MPAA and RIAA overplaying their hands in the 90s.
Maybe it's mentioned somewhere but I missed it, could someone provide a list of the five problems that AlphaGeometry failed to solve? The paper mentioned IMO 2008p6 and IMO 2019p2. What are the other three?
Me neither. Epic is such an obvious part of a walled-garden duopoly with monetary and lobbying power that nation states would be envious of and has done such things in the past that is unheard of in case of Apple, or maybe is equal to Apple hence, of course, no taking sides.
EPAC1 enhances brown fat growth and beige adipogenesis
$17k before the tax rebate apparently. The cheapest one I available right now is $22,400 with 81,400 miles compared to the MSRP for a new one of $38,000. To me that doesn't sound like that great of a deal. A car, especially an electric car, with that many miles is likely over half way through it's lifespan and it's in the most maintenance heavy half to boot. As someone who always bought used cars I think the used market in general is so bad right now that next time I need a car I'm going to buy new. The value just isn't there like it used to be.

It does seem to be cheaper than other Model 3s with similar mileage that I'm seeing on Carmax so for someone who does want to buy a used Tesla then it's probably worth taking a look.

1. Babies cannot read

2. Babies are in a sensorimotor stage of development and are not capable of symbolic reasoning

3. If you extend the term "baby" to toddlers, they are in the preoperational stage of development and are also uncapable of symbolic reasoning

Therefore, the book is not for babies.

>How are they even going to attempt to enforce compliance.

Per the judge's own words, Apple is allowed access to the company's financials and other information that would allow them to audit developers' use of third-party payment systems.
All businesses employ manipulative practices, marketing and sales are built on them. An indictment of Epic on these grounds is an indictment of modern capitalism. It's annoying, base and tragic but not ultimately anywhere near the mafia-level thuggery to which Apple has engaged.
Except the creators are millions of people, and putting many more hours of work in. So their expected return on investment is much much lower.
Great point! I have a "cheap" Samsung M32 that I bought for about $170. One reason I chose this Samsung phone over a similarly priced phone from a competitor was that I wrongly believed that Samsung provided several years more OS and security updates. After buying the phone I realized that longer support only applied to flagship models :/
Could you tell me the missing features that you normally use?
The economy primarily exists to benefit the consumers, not the producers. With that in mind, I should be able to run any operating system on an iPhone I bought. Apple should not be required to actively support this, put in extra work to document things or whatnot, but they should not be allowed to actively make things harder. If I got an iOS license, I should be able to install and run any application and be able to get it from where ever I want. If I use the App Store to distribute apps, then Apple should charge a reasonable amount reflecting the cost of distributing that app. If I use their payment services, then they should charge a reasonable amount reflecting the cost of that service.

You don't think people are naturally choosing "Samsung Internet" as their favorite browser?
They would if Tesla had a reputation for build quality, repairability, and reliability. (None of which they have)

Also they don’t allow aftermarket parts which causes parts bottleneck which delay repairs. Additionally they sometimes unilaterally decide to nerf the software on cars that have been resold.

So I’d probably stay away. Shame though. I’m the sort of person who might if the above were different.

Sure there are some people arriving, but it's a fraction of the total, usually only 1/5 in most surveys and in the academic literature.

Just below you is a comment that's doubting the idea that a homeless person wouldn't move to somewhere cheaper immediately, whereas you seem to be asserting that homeless people will just move to a very high cost area.

I do agree that is we build housing for 45k homeless people, we will soon end up with 45k more, because homelessness is a temporary attribute for people, and far far more than 45k enter homelessness in LA every year.

Talking about the point in time counts as if they explain the magnitude of the problem is wrong, as you point out. It's a stock versus flow problem.

I do disagree that we can't build enough housing. Housing is super expensive to build right now, but that's by design. There's a finite number of people who want to live in the area, and it's pure folly to say "we can't do that". The truth is that current residents don't want to allow enough housing to be built. Which means it's an active choice to throw hindereds of thousands of people into homelessness through excessively high high housing costs, rather than have more neighbors.

How is it not subject to market forces? That doesn't make sense.

If Apple's platform doesn't work for their profit margins they are free to sell their software elsewhere, including a plethora of phones from a diverse set of manufacturers. But they don't want to do that because Apple's platform makes them a fuck load of money. They just want more of it.

How about this: Apple can charge Epic the same outrageous* 12% that Epic charges game developers. Do you think that would alleviate Epic's concerns?

> Vertical integration is illegal.

Can you provide a legal document or explicit law that states "vertical integration is illegal"?

* It's outrageous because Epic provides even fewer services (SDKs for example), still requires developer fees $100/submission, and has a much smaller user base. They're also not really doing anything. At least Apple makes the iPhone and improves the capabilities of it each year...
I mistakenly read the most popular domain as "comp.aq" at first, which would have been genius.

Same reflex. As much as I appreciate full depth, I realize I really have many deep trees and it makes things laggy.

for dir in $selection
do

done
}
They're not in a position where they could have standing, though, since they were in that position and violated the terms of their agreement. The judge has not ordered Apple to reinstate Epic's account and the termination was found to be legal.
It's important to mention that consoles are typically sold at-cost or at a loss, so the markup is required to maintain the business model. This is not true of iPhones.
Your post is thoughtful. Why do you care so much about declarative? I tried SwiftUI last summer to see what it was about and I find the whole style rather awkward. Writing a desktop app in XML sounds even worse. And I'm not seeing the benefit to the user. With an imperative coding style, you can more directly control the user experience and give them the best one.
That's such a great idea and I'm sure it could help a lot of people!... as well as a surge of cunnilingus training apps.
Seconded on the money part. I'd treat it as just a game engine to scratch the itch of learning and steer them towards actual programming in Lua.

Then, even if the language would be different, they can transfer to a proper game engine like Unreal.

But publishing the game in Roblox for real could still be a good thing (or not). Just don't expect to "get rich fast". It can teach that even you have a cool game, nobody is gonna find it and you'd have to stand out. In the end it's a bit like YouTube. Same exploitative relationship. You might make money. Most won't. Many will feel lots of pressure for no reward. And even with reward the pressure might become too much.
The widespread manufacture of low price goods in China had been at full steam for over a decade, closer to two, by 2005 the date of first manufacture of the ball.

And the manufacturer couldn't find the original designers' details. And laid no claim to copyright (which seems strange).

Perhaps it was the case of a knockoff of a knockoff of a knockoff. A CAD file from the 1990s bumping around commodity manufactures via QQ and USB sticks, the design adapted the next order of 10,000 items by any one of a multitude of small commodities producers. Having sourced during that time to now, I'd fully believe it.

> How can Amazon pricing be so competitive

It's not anymore; the reason they continue to be so popular is locked-in mindshare (just like you think of going to Google to search the web) and because of the fast shipping and easy return policy (esp through Prime).
More accurately: the failure of the managerial class.
I'm not going to say that Apple doesn't have the "right" to make these rules, but on an intuitive level they gross me out _more_ than the old version, and it makes me, personally, less likely to invest in writing native apps at all.

These theories are fun. My first instinct was that maybe it’s for “yeoman”. But that’s not the most kid-friendly or likely word to appear on a ball. “Yellow” seems a lot more plausible, and the spray paint can idea is especially clever.
Devil's advocate question: How did you expect Samsung could fund SW dev costs to support 7 years of updates on the margins of a $170 phone while still turning a profit?

Not sure how much you were expecting at $170 but you might have been penny wise and pound foolish here trying to scrape the bottom of the barrel as nobody else gives you more than 2 years of updates at those rock bottom prices. Sometimes it pays to spend a bit more and get something worthwile.

Samsung's other budget phones from last year in the ~300 Euro range, like the A54 have 5 years of guaranteed support. Maybe the mid rangers of 2024 will also get 7 years of updates which would be killer value.

Yep. There used to be a setting that changed this behavior, "allow Bluetooth connections even when in standby" or something to that extent, but that seems to be gone since the switch to Apple's own CPUs, just like "Power Nap" – presumably the efficiency cores use so little power that it's not even worth offering a switch to deactivate that behavior anymore.

Now for a phone that has a battery that will last that long. That would really be news. I find that I don't replace a phone because it can't function or is no longer secure. I replace it because it can't hold a charge long enough for regular daily use.
It does the job very nicely, and I can easily embed on-the-fly generated images. Not sure there is a better option in the Java ecosystem.

The smartphone is the most essential device in the world.

Two companies have more control than entire governments. They tax everything and control what can be done in the mobile space.

Mobile means taking photos, dating, ordering dinner at a restaurant, navigating, buying at the store, presenting an officer your state ID, looking for a new home, reading the news, scheduling meetings, answering calls from loved ones, ... E V E R Y T H I N G.

The uses of mobile have outgrown these two companies, and it's time the control these two companies have is rescinded by worldwide regulators.

First class web installs must be supported, and moreover they cannot come with a scare wall. Furthermore, Apple and Google shouldn't be allowed to control which technologies can be used (JIT, runtimes, browsers, dynamic apps), which payments/login rails can be used, etc.
Pascals are not a hyperinflation. They're 1N of force over 1 square meter.

And conveniently, the atmospheric pressure is very close to 100kPa. So you can use a derived unit called a "bar" which is 100kPa.

Your bike tires need to be at around 3 bar.
Leftfield solution:

Pay drug buyers to narc on sellers (especially via recordings). Catch the sellers of addictive drugs (especially P/meth) and bust the network by making it too risky to sell hard drugs. However would need a way to prevent buyers from becoming victims of retribution.

If the homeless problem is predominantly due to drug usage then we need an effective way remove the drugs from society. Might help reduce theft too?

Note I am not a fan of persecution for drug usage! Personally, I would prefer to see many drugs (mushrooms, weed, ecstacy) decriminalised and made safe. Currently street drugs are unreliable quality (due to manufacturing adulterants, mixing in fentanyl/crap). I have known some reasonably functional/social users of some class A drugs - so I am not religiously against drugs - but I have also witnessed damage to individuals and society due to drug usage.

You're not forced to make apps for iOS or any Apple product. Making your app for the second most popular OS is acceptable because that's what iOS is. I know you tried to make it seem like Android is but, worldwide, Android is far more popular than iOS. The fact that there even is a 2nd most popular mobile OS proves that Apple doesn't have a monopoly.

Epic also has their own game store that they will happily charge 30% once they have more marketshare. They also want to be able to put their own game store on iOS.
They say I'm paid to deliver working software, but I'm not able to do that with confidence until lots of things with the system are fixed.

Their actions, though, say that they want someone who hustles and creates bugs and then puts on a good show fixing the bugs they themselves created.

Saying it like that, I guess the solution is to just get out, but it's hard to accept "just find another job" as the solution when I'm not even employed right now.
The relevant market is iOS app distribution, not smartphones.
> And I suspect that you're right that 27% is too large a cut to survive.

I don’t see that being killed soon. The 3% for payment processors is a lot higher than the 0,2% or 0,3% limits for debet/credit card payments within the EU (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/fees-for-..., and AFAIK no payment processor decided to leave the EU market because they couldn’t earn money anymore.

There also is ‘prior art’ for that 3%/27% split in the case of dating apps in the Netherlands, where the Dutch regulator declared that OK (https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/13/apple-dutch-dating-apps-pa...). AFAIK, there hasn’t been further action on that front.
Why? He and Brian Fitzpatrick were the founding engineers for the Chicago office. I worked with them on Google Code back when there was almost no competition in forges and GitHub had just barely become a thing. Search brings enormous value to all kinds of people and Ads makes it all financially viable. There is plenty to be proud of and without those founding engineers in that office Chicago would not have been a part of it and offered gainful employment to many different engineers in that area. He was a fantastic manager and a great director.
