A court found that Apple used a specific business practice found to be anticompetitive, this was upheld on appeal and SCOTUS declined to address any legal questions. So, to restate what you said more correctly: a court has found Apple used an anticompetitive practice and an Appeals court upheld it or “agreed” if you prefer.

Law is a whole lot more boring when you murder the rhetorical intent in how people interpret it with extreme prejudice.

Api for domain policy enforcement/filtering typically handled by server/gateway service handling dns requests. (per nat'ing, local/non-local addressing, subneting, virtual addressing, etc).

aka app uses dns service. Typically, the gatway/server of dns service does appropriate checks per system/network administration setups/policies. Aforementioned dns service returns a 'failure to resolve' if domain/address doesn't meet 'valid/appropriate' policy/rules.

An application on a properly configured network / box should only have to verify an address/domain exists/reachable via dns lookup[1].

An application / non-server box / non-gateway box attempting to do this via other methods may be taken to be malicious / violate network policy of domain box running app is on.

From system/network administrator view, end user box suddenly starts using information related to malicious sites. aka system/network administrator sees 'information related to malicious sites' and not 'this a query to see if this information is related to a malicious site'.

Failtoban[2] / unbound[3] / dnsmasq[4] or BIND[5] are some programs run as system service which make use of dns queries to let an app know if domain is a 'do not use'.

> On the other hand a lower price is a lower price. But is it low enough to get enough users to enter a credit card?

An excellent question. I think the thing is that for the prices that often show up in apps, maybe not? Like, for a $3 app I don't think I'm going to go visit some website, go through their flow, and get out my credit card if I'm only going to save $1. (Ok, I'd probably do it on principle at this point to stick it to Apple, but that's not the same thing.)

If I were going to shell out $100, I'd certainly go to the extra trouble to pay $70 instead, though.

The dangerous thing is that with all these mobile games that slowly siphon money from you, you might over time end up spending many tens or even hundreds of dollars (where 30% off might be a significant amount of money). But if each transaction is small, you might not think much of the difference of a dollar or so per transaction.
keep seeing mechanical keyboard addons for phones... are we finally going in the right direction (until they figure out something better)?
Thanks for the tip. I thankfully went with Intel so it should work and looks like it might get close. My needs are a bit higher frequency than that but it should help with other use cases that aren’t as high frequency + maybe there’s a way to set it to only sample instrumented functions so that the timer cost is further amortized.

These designs all come out of the consumer and gaming space. They correctly trade security away for performance. Blame whoever started running untrustworthy code on them.

People were saying the same thing about terrestrial solar for decades.

Both fundamentally are engineering problems now.

Also considering that there has been a lot of investment in space launch vehicles of late the cost to lift things into orbit are lowering.

Technology takes a while to develop and mature with applications for this beyond just beaming power to Earth.
There's lots of space up there though.
"This is what makes human creation special.", that's a load of garbage. There is nothing inherently special about human creation. Some AI artwork I've seen is incredible, the fact it was AI generated didn't change its being an incredible piece of art.

Thinking our creation has some kind of 'specialness' to it is like believing in a soul, or some other stupid thing. It's pure hubris.

> Blake3 and SHA-3’s dead-last performance is a bit surprising to me.

Me too :) BLAKE2s was the fastest cryptographic hash for short inputs in these benchmarks, and BLAKE3 should be strictly faster than BLAKE2s, since in this short-input regime it's just the ~same compression function with fewer rounds. I haven't done much benchmarking on AMD CPUs myself, but https://bench.cr.yp.to/results-hash.html has results from an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 that match what I expect. Python's hashlib is going to get BLAKE2s from OpenSSL, so my guess is that the problem might be something about how the BLAKE3 Python module was compiled? It could also be that that module constructs some unnecessary objects or something like that, which doesn't matter for long inputs but which starts to dominate the runtime for tiny ones?
I just think the article is too negative about the shift toward global interconnectedness. Like I said, there are trends that are appealing to everyone on the globe.

In your example, the availability of air conditioning and improvements in building materials (insulation) and glass technology (…insulation) are too important to omit. Also, these building technologies mean that you don’t have to have a have a specific aesthetic to achieve comfort and efficiency goals. You can build a concrete and glass building with the same airflow and insulating properties as traditional construction. One example I heard about recently is the new jewelers complex in India. It’s a skyscraper complex that uses a wind funneling system to send airflow down the main promenade and reduce the need for air conditioning. Of course, the design is nothing like traditional Indian architecture, but it accomplishes its goals effectively.

The toilet example is another one where the obvious comfort advantage of the Western toilet makes it universally appealing. As much as nature’s flow prefers squatting, there are obvious ease of use and accessibility advantages to sitting on a chair.

I think of global interconnectedness being more like everyone being able to make more discoveries. If Danish people eat more Chinese food because they think it tastes better than their local cuisine, it’s not some kind of perverse negative of global interconnectedness that they abandoned their roots. They just got exposed to a new idea that they liked and decided it was the way to go. Being interconnected with the entire globe means that more ideas can be shared.

I've done a lot of reading on this matter, and it's generally accepted to be battery saving limitations from phone/mobile OS makers rather than poor engineering on the car systems.

That said, Teslas come with keycards designed to slot into a wallet, there's no smartphone requirement at all. It's actually less smartphone dependent than other car manufacturers, who lean on Carplay/Android Auto for rich features.

That's not really the whole story. It was possible to generate a hello world web application server.

Hi there, this is Zac from Kagi. I just posted some other details here that might be of interest:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39019936

TL;DR - we are a tiny, young team at the center, and everyone has a closet full of hats they wear. No dedicated SRE team yet.

> "what happens if a ton of searches happen?"

In fairness, you can checkout https://kagi.com/stats - "a lot of searches" is already happening, approaching 400k per day, and systems still operate with plenty of capacity day-to-day, in addition to some auto-scaling measures.

The devil is in the details of some users exploting a pathological case. Our lack of experience (now rightfully gained) is knowing what organic or pathological traffic we could have predicted and simulated ahead of time.

Load-simulating 20,000 users searching concurrently sounds like it would have been a sound experiment early on, and we did do some things resembling this. But considering this incident, it still would not have caught this issue. We have also had maybe 10 people run security scanners on our production services at this point that generated more traffic than this incident.

It is extremely difficult to balance this kind of development when we also have features to build, and clearly we could do with more of it! As mentioned in my other post, we are looking to expand the team in the near term so that we are not spread so thin on these sorts of efforts.

There is a lot that could be said in hindsight, but I hope that is a bit more transparent WRT how we ended up here.
> So the courts agree that Apple uses AN anticompetitive PRACTICE.

Fixed it. They said not allowing developers to say it was possible to pay externally was against the law. I think a California law?

They did not say that about Apple’s fee, the existence of only Apple’s App Store, or anything else.

It was limited to anti-steering.
I'm not sure what they use to do it, but I'm amazed by the "Lose It!" app's barcode scanning feature. It'll scan correctly in the first fraction of a second that a barcode is visible on-screen with bad lighting, motion blur, weird/reflective colors, and crinkling.

Why do we act like there is a "mobile game market" when there are clearly two distinct major private markets, both monopolized by definition of private control over basic aspects like pricing and content, including mandating a private tax rate?

The location of a business’s structure labeled “HQ” has no relevance to applicability of laws.

If the business is conducting business with people within a given geographic boundary, then the laws of that geographic boundary apply to the business.

> if simply due to operating business there, couldn't Apple geofence the entire state and only allow developers the option to steer consumers who are using their app within CA state lines?

Yes.
I like your analysis elsewhere. But you can’t avoid misallocations always. Some risk has to be taken by everyone. Even the private markets miscalculate roi.

You also can’t avoid debt (printing money). At the simplest, you can tell yourself you will postpone your own retirement to take the risk of misallocating resources yourself, for a gamble.
You understand that everything I said was... Plug in the right values here: https://www.digikey.com/en/resources/conversion-calculators/...

You don't need an EE degree to look at your PCB-manufacturer's specifications. Lets run a brief example:

https://www.digikey.com/-/media/Images/Marketing/Resources/D...

Lets go for Edge Coupled Microstrip. Solve for Trace Width.

I believe Ethernet is 100 Ohms differential impedance. Set the top to 100.

Trace Thickness as per DKRed is 0.5 oz/ft^2. This value might be 1 on different manufacturers.

Height is 7.04 mil. Just steal it from the specsheet above.

Spacing is whatever you plan to do. Lets say 8-mil.

Dielectric Constant is 4.01: https://www.digikey.com/-/media/Images/Marketing/Resources/D.... See "Dk", Dielectric Constant.

------------------

Bam. Now 9.814 mil thickness for differential pair Ethernet routes.

Yeah, it will take you some study. But I literally laid everything out in front of you with my post above. It shouldn't take you any more than like 30 minutes of studying at this point now that I put everything in just a few posts for you.

An EE Degree will help. But... there's not much to this particular issue. You need to understand that different manufacturers have different thicknesses, dielectric-constants and other such measurements. But its all plug-and-play once you know how to read a spec-sheet.

--------

If that's too hard, just don't route Ethernet or USB I guess? There aren't very many differential-pair lines or impedance-matched lines on the Rasp. Pi4 CM as far as I can tell.

> It will get worse with ai.

I've had to self-diagnose and then just plainly guide several of my doctors, even specialists, on diagnostics (for evidence) and subsequent treatment.

I've had some really lame infections and things going on, and most of my GPs over the years would just pin it down to anxiety or blindly prescribe antibiotics (made things much worse).

I've lost all faith in the average doctor's expertise, so I expect AI must be better but at the same time realize the whole system gets inexplicably worse as a human being on the other end, despite advances in technology.
> Okay maybe calm down with the Saint/Devil complex.

No. If you don't want people pointing out devilish deeds, don't do the deeds.

Global opinion on this isn't due to a "complex", but a very natural reaction to the events of the last couple decades. I know it's hard to accept. Most Americans I mention this fact to literally can't accept it as true. They get quite upset if they ask for evidence, and then receive exactly that. There's loads of evidence. All the polls broadly agree, and people state the reasons why - in a nutshell, psychotic foreign policy, an easily led populace, and greed.

> The way a European might have perceived America in the 90’s would have been through Hollywood

Opinion didn't change because 'Friends' ran its course. It changed because in 2003 America's leaders chose to lie to America and the world, condemning millions to death for the sake of cheaper resources (yet again).

> The perception moved from pure fiction to meme-filtered, sensationalized reality.

This is how you disregard the opinion of 8 billion people? Memes?

Hollywood and the Internet have roles in all this, sure, but don't get it twisted. It was the war crimes. The murders, bombings and assassinations. The systematic torture of people who never had a trial. The displacement of tens of millions, the support of genocidal regimes, the murderous sanctions.

Flippantly dismissing all this is the American Way. Sure, it feels good to be blissfully ignorant of how detested we've become, and how far we have fallen in the eyes of the world. How unfathomably low the floor has become. But from the outside, it's clearly just sticking your head in the sand. The gleeful and flagrant disregard of the rest of the world's opinion is really old at this point.

> So even if America itself hadn’t changed in that time (but I guess it did)

America and the world has changed, and so have perceptions. But the perception that America is an existential threat to peace and stability hasn't. It rocketed in Iraq, and has continued ever since.

It probably dipped a bit when the US helped defend Ukraine, but the Gaza thing has quite reversed that.

I think it's important that we talk about these very real problems. But it's so much easier to con people, than show them they've been conned.
I don't think I've ever before been party to any conversation where the words "toaster mogul" ever appeared in the exchange, and yet, here they are, in all their golden brown and delicious glory!
Thanks for clarifying.

So "I want them to have everything," isn't an argument for just acceding to a demand to avert your gaze? Wanting your partner to have everything is as emotionally understandable and foolish as wanting your child to have everything.
I don't talk about this very often for obvious reasons, but I've lost a child.

Grief over losing a child is not entitlement, or weakness, or being spoiled. It's grief, as raw and human as it's always been.

It used to be normal for children to die in the mid-1800's-England. Something like 25% of children born didn't make it to their first birthday.

Today, that number is more like 0.34%.

I suspect the difference is that in the 1800's it happened a lot. You weren't the only one. You had people who were empathetic. Nearly any person you'd come in contact with likely had either experienced the same trauma, or loved people who had. That doesn't mean people didn't grieve over the loss. It just meant that living with the grief of a lost child was normal.

In "modern" times? If it happens to you, you're an outlier. Not only are you grieving the loss of your child, you're alone. No one you know has also lost a child. You're grieving the loss of potential, the legal garbage, insurance, funeral costs, you're doing it either with your partner, also grieving, or alone (or maybe worse, with a partner, but still "alone"). The amount of times you'll hear "I can't imagine what that must be like" help reinforce that feeling of being alone, because it's simply true. It's unimaginable. It was for me, and even having experienced it, still is.

Whether it's the 1800s or 2000's, humans are resilient. While losing a child often does lead to depression and divorce, we can heal from these things. We have an advantage over 1800s parents in that we have huge support networks that are no further away than our pockets that blow away whatever community support might have existed in the 1800s. Not to mention medicine and advances in our understanding of human psychology.

Grief isn't weakness. Grief is simply human.
If you're listening, Kagi, please add an à la carte plan for search. Maybe hide it behind the API options as not to disrupt your normal plans. I love the search and I'm happy to pay, but I'm cost sensitive now and it's the only way that I'm going to feel comfortable using it long-term.
