I don’t have any substantive basis to argue some other regulation versus this one that isn’t an emotional basis as a developer without doing further research, but this regulation has now inadvertently made it a worse experience. To my perception this regulation has gone far deeper than any before defining the “market gatekeepers” and attempting to govern how a company can monetize its own market. Regulations are usually “how a company can sell a product in the free market” not “how a company can monetize the services of its already existing product”. That is a consideration of the consumer during purchasing of the product, or a consideration of the developer when developing for it.

At the minimum, this was a poorly planned and executed regulation as displayed by Apple here.

The AppStore is a distribution channel. It’s a plausible business model to charge per unit of distribution, just like a freight company might do.

Unity is a game framework/toolkit/engine. It does not do distribution (I sign into unity to download games?). It is literally impossible for unity to even know about the amount of distribution that is happening. That’s why the guy lost his job.

Same way the CEO of McDonald’s would be ousted for instituting subscription based pay for cheeseburgers, even though Spotify can do it just fine.
People love bashing Apple for "being Apple" without really thinking.

Metal released almost a whole two years before Vulkan (Mantle is irrelevant). Apple needed a good API for developers because Khronos couldn't get their shit together. We had many versions of OpenGL and OpenGL ES, we had wrappers around OpenGL ES 2 to work on the desktop version.

Apple made an API that developers liked, and what do you propose? Apple start being Google and ditch their thing for another thing?

It would work the exact same way I can call an analog phone line from my phone.

At some point, yes, the digital signal from my phone gets converted to an analog signal to be sent over traditional telephone wires. My phone just has to produce the right noise for a receiving fax machine to understand it once the noise is converted to an analog signal.

Hello, thank you for your answer. There's apparently more in scrapscript than what's written on its homepage. I didn't really meant to compare it to PRQL, but at the same time it probably offers some of the propositions of PRQL: extreme composability, functional programming (so: pipelines) and some more.
Huh? Apple is free to stop selling iPhones in the EU
I think it will take a while for people to notice because Brother printers last so long, so most of the people praising them are using still printers they bought many years ago.
I am trying to see where you are coming from with this comment.

Are you saying that Curry wouldn't have been a star due to how they played in the 90s? Or are you saying that Curry wouldn't have been a star because 90's players are much better?

If it's the latter, I 100% disagree with this.

The 90's definitely did not focus on 3-point shooting like there is today, but Curry has so much more going for him aside from his 3-point shot.

I very much do not like the Warriors, and I'm quick to call out that the whistle is in his favor during the regular season (especially with moving screens) - but even I can recognize his skill. Additionally, refs enforce rules much more during the playoffs, and he's still won rings.

Curry's off ball movement is phenomenal. Numerous players have talked about how hard it is to guard Curry because he has so much stamina. Additionally, he's in his 30s now and has had some of his best seasons for his career.

If you're saying that the play style of the 90s would have held him back - I agree with that. I like the NBAs current style of fluid, "positionless" play over the 90s more rigid adherence to roles. The current NBA of today lets so many more players shine, especially dynamic bigs.

Kareem has talked about this as well when watching Giannis play. I can't find the quote, so this is a paraphrase - but he was remarking how back in his day if you were tall you had to play center, and you were never allowed to practice other skills.

Today's game, you have people like Jokic - a dynamic big who can facilitate, defend, AND shoot 3s. I love to see it.
Apple must be crazy with their per install charge fee. I am impressed at how obtuse Apple is, and the level they are going to be petty. The hammer will only fall harder.
Yeah clearly they need to be slapped around consistently. Not just once.
It would've been so nice if the EU had required there be an automated way to choose Accept All and Only Necessary options. They could've even reused the existing DNT header!
Thanks, that's actually valuable to hear from someone who actually implements this!
I recently wondered if you could make a blade server chassis out of old laptop motherboards this way. You could have an Ethernet switch in the backplane that is exposed to each slot as a USB Ethernet dongle.
The continuing focus on cervical cancer and women’s sexual health in the context of HPV (vaccination) is my biggest pet peeve ever.

HPV causes penile, anal, mouth-throat and cervical cancer.

I‘d argue that all of those cancers are much, much worse than cervical cancer. After all, they can cause permanent disfigurement, chronic pain, inability to ever speak again and loss of the penis. Infertility? Woe is me!

Anyone who is not celibate should really get the HPV vaccines. Tell a teenager he‘s risking to lose his dick and he‘s gonna get vaccinated tomorrow.
Gosh. I'd better stop work on my open source project immediately then.
The project ends up going a somewhat different direction at times but I love the insight here: wing-in-ground/ground effect craft can glance the water & tend to slow way down very quickly. Adding a spinning wheel can let them rebound better. Maintaining stability & velocity of the wing-in-ground system on rougher seas is super interesting. What a kick ass set of projects.
Apple is just trying to dodge regulations. They'll get slapped with a fine and told to behave soon enough.
Worth noting: the person who said "we acted according..." Also said that literal sentence is all they have agreed to say.

All of this is pretty shameful.
They absolutely love it. One of the kids who got this said he felt there are "no bad sounds."
Isn't pretty much all viable printer technology encumbered by evergreen patents? My understanding was that printer companies think they're enforcing patents with DRM, which is why they tried so hard to make refilling ink cartridges a DMCA 1201 violation.

No choice, proceeds to list off multiple app stores.

Apply that same logic to the iPhone. Why not just take the abstinence road when it comes to any other store than steam?

What's the safest way to Skii? Don't ski. Don't want to download any apps from a different app store than Apple's? Don't do it then.
I don't think Brother has added drm in firmware updates like some other companies have (as far as I know) but all of their new laser printers have drm chips in the toner cartridges, so it's not just their inkjet printers.
It seems a little strange to me that the people interviewed in this article find this is so remarkable. Only 40,000 people belonged to the group that got the vaccine before 14. If the incidence rate were the same as for the unvaccinated (8.4 per 100k) you would have expected roughly 4 in the group to have gotten cancer. If the incidence rate were the same as for those vaccinated after 14 (3.2 per 100k), you would have expected only ~1 to have gotten cancer. Maybe I'm missing something here?
Apple's lawyers have been working hard to make it non-viable for third-party app stores while still complying with the law I guess. Sounds like this will be a no go in it's first incarnation and EU will have to come back with an even stricter version probably removing all control from Apple. EU does not fuck around when it comes down to it with things like this.
Yeah, tangentially with this, I once asked GPT-4 to identify Star Wars sequel trilogy shortcomings and write a better story outline. It came up with a reimagining of what Jedi truly were and addressed the power vacuum in a much more exciting way than a rehash with a New New Empire.
This model has some benefits too just that you have to live near the office or perhaps 1 day commute shouldn't feel too bad.
You have degoogled Android options like GrapheneOS that are far, far better for your privacy than Apple devices.

And I thought the bandcamp did a good job with the best of the month lists because it wasn;t just what sold best. I frequently started my morning listening to the bands from one of the articles on the homepage while I drank coffee and got caught up. For categories like hip hop, ambient, or folk I don't follow enough to have a grasp of who or what I might like, so I treated the articles like a radio show, a chance to stumble on something interesting. The posts focused on a specific region and genre were usually worth the read, and I appreciated how sometimes there were links to some artists side projects in a different genre.

Today's album of the day post was about Japanese Acid Folk, not something I care about at all. But it wasn't a bad way to start the day with something new. https://daily.bandcamp.com/album-of-the-day/various-artists-...

I suppose it seemed valuable to me that the various writers or editors could focus on niches, not the best of the month and this month it is written by a metalhead.

If anything I thought the suggested albums at the bottom iss a bit too skewed toward certain bands. I'm not sure if that's targeting by user, or if there are too many connections in people's purchases to avoid making the links. On the other hand, the artist suggested albums at the bottom are almost always worth a listen if they have taken the time to add any.
The only good form of defense, is defense in depth, or forming layers of defense. This bug puts a hole in one of those layers
Sure, but then you can just use OCSP. If you care about privacy very much, support only stapled OCSP.

CRL is better suited for "high-volume" exchanges, for example for a CA to publish all their revocations [so that a system such as CRLite can be built].

According to the calculator, a game that has 5M installs and earns $1M per year will have to pay Apple $2.37M per year.

Worse, a game that has 5M installs and only earns $1 per year will still have to pay Apple $2.17M per year.
My problem here is Google, we can't deny they have used their position in Search, Gmail, Maps and others to push users towards Chrome with constant reminders to use their tools. I mean if I sign into Google on my iPhone I basically instantly get an email about setting up my iPhone with google or something, which is ridiculous.

Competition in this space is great but Google has far too much control of the browser market for my comfort and we are seeing the harm of that with third party cookies, tracking, AMP, and other things.

And again I welcome this particular change, I am just worried about what it will mean as Google pushes harder.

Apple has made many printers, but apparently no longer considers the sector worthwhile:

The runway is less than one human generation, or less than a home mortgage period. Some of these ventures are unprofitable for a decade. If an investor isn't thinking domination early on, they're thinking of getting it to the point where another investor would think that.
Wit-Bindgen
Important to note -

"New business terms available for apps in the EU — to reflect the DMA’s requirements for alternative distribution and payment processing, Apple is also sharing new business terms for apps in the EU. Developers have a choice to remain on Apple’s existing terms or adopt new terms that reflect the new capabilities."

So this is essentially Apple making the alternative so unappealing that no-one will switch and status quo is preserved.
No, the company becomes more valuable after the raise. It's more slices of a bigger pie == each slice is the same size as before.

> why would a company ever do a stock buyback if changing the amount of issued stock didn't change the price?

The company used its cash to buy its own stock. Fewer slices of the same pie == each slice is bigger than before.
The “!quick” bang is pretty great too. Basically summarizes the top search hits.
It seems updates also count. If they can cover that 50c for every non-paying user with the extra 10% profit on paying users they might switch.
Are you saying that is the only message you got? Maybe you got compromised?

Have you tried reaching out to them?
Indeed.

Additionally I’m sick of people using “human right” to describe every conceivable characteristic of an ideal modern society.

Some things should be basic and a minimum and other characteristics should be add-ons you get for advancing civilization.

Pooling them all together waters down the most important ones.
Something I don't see talked about often here is the nature of human feedback reinforcement learning and it's effect on models like GPT. I think a lot of people are under the impression that this makes the models lie less and say things that are more accurate. The actual effect is that we've built an AI model that was trained to give humans convincing output. This is, imo, incredibly dangerous to the health of the internet. AI has and is rapidly increasing the bullshit to signal ratio but it's doing it in a way that people aren't ready for, since it was literally optimized to lie convincingly.
You're missing the point. People can feel that a twin turbo inline 6 drives much smoother and more powerfully than a 1.3L 4 banger even if they don't know the first thing about what's under the bonnet. The engine changes the entire experience.

No response from Deno folks yet. I will comment here once I hear from them.
I mean, you're still running on Apple's OS right? So, unless Apple gets forced to open up their OS, all apps, side loaded or otherwise, depend on Apple Licensed software. Licensed software that Apple is free to set whatever terms they wish.
PKI uses are not limited to TLS, and TLS uses are not limited to those where revocation information is readily accessible (due to proxying/distribution/compartmentalization/federation constraints).

There is a variety of signature standards and protocols out there that rely on PKI to manage trust, and whose users are not at all keen on calling an untrusted URL to check an intermediate cert.
Please do and make printer refills a commodity, like paper.
> but I assume you are not a gamer if you think that.

Why would you assume that? I play video games on my PC. I'm not forced to install any software. I can make informed decisions and understand the trade offs with what software I want to use.

Chosing to install Epic Launcher and playing Fortnite is you sending a signal into the market. Competition exists, users can express their opinion and act on it.
What do you think of this thread: https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/445

The idea that Apple is on the side of privacy here is not really realistic. In fact Apple has designed AirDrop etc. to make it easy for countries like China to control AirDrop traffic, and they have put down technological safeguards to prevent actually private tools like Briar from functioning.

There is a huge demand for public intellectuals to have something nice to say about men. I do not see which part of his message was specifically aimed at white people.

What is the problem with saying positive things about men?
what's been your experience with different open source embedding models vs ada?
I mostly agree with you but from the sounds of the news across the pond it seems like the EU government, as well as our own, wants to eliminate encryption, VPNs or add back doors into systems to some degree.

There are obvious reasons to do so to combat crime but at the expense of privacy, freedom, and anonymity.

And I've quite been happy to see Apple stand up against such government control but fear the trend this will set.
fake news can still on have an instant and severe impact, like on stock prices, before the correction . Community notes is still too slow.

I am listing off those stores because I am making a point that as a gamer, I do not have a choice in using certain stores and launchers if I want to play the games I want to play.

That is the exact situation I want to avoid on my phone.

What is so hard about that to understand. This is removing a choice from a user.
> There's nowhere in the GPLv3 that says that (then again, that sentence doesn't imply there is)

It does, commonly called the anti-tivoization clause. Here's the text:

> “Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.

> If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).

> The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network.

> Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.

From GPLv3, section 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
> Like what activities and locations do people partake in.

It's less about delineated activities (which are a number, countable, very modernist), and more the day2day enjoyment of nature, as it bleeds through city life, you don't necessarily seek it out, it just happens (which can't be put into a number, can only be waxed rhapsodically about, very humanist). It's visiting family one town over, leaving your city house and smelling cow shit as you bike there. It's a train commute and seeing the fog roll over centuries year old pastures on the way. It's eating venison in a tavern restaurant in fall, and was shot by the local hunter's club. It's a date that starts as a forest hike in the afternoon and imperceptibly blends into a pub crawl at night.

I live in a city of a state which is by all accounts rugged and rustic, in close proximity to wilderness, parks, farmland, etc... but there's a clear separation of intent. When I lived in Europe, the enjoyment of nature was more through a surrounding vapor, unconscious.

I'm not saying that one is necessarily worse, but to me the experience is starkly different, and that difference can't be captured in numbers.

It's also a spectrum, location dependent, ymmv, blah blah etc..

Ask HN: How do you feel about AI generated voiceover?
On the production side, there are obvious benefits. I'm more curious on the receiving side. How do you feel when you encounter AI generated voices in marketing or educational material?
So?

Do you expect people the entire world over to have a Rolodex of fairytales that used to be told in your country?
No, you can choose to stay on the current terms.

"Developers can choose to adopt these new business terms, or stay on Apple’s existing terms. Developers must adopt the new business terms for EU apps to use the new capabilities for alternative distribution or alternative payment processing. "
Agreed, this has a really interesting effect on smaller businesses which may not exist in 5 years. Sure the S&P500 it's unlikely many or any of them go bankrupt in the next 5 years, so they at least know they can _eventually_ write it off. Meanwhile a company may hit bankruptcy in yr 3 despite lingering credits. This can happen when they have profit on paper, but negative cashflow.
This fee is charged even if the app isn't distributed on the App Store.
I'm not from Framework, but can you be more specific? And maybe you don't need a better TV but just a better TV screen that can be connected to a computer?
Yeah, I don't have a lot of hope for Microsoft acquired companies tbh. Just look at what happened to Rare after they were acquired. All the games in their pipeline were published on Xbox, but then the Studio's production nose dived. Rare as an independent studio was producing banger after banger for 20 years. Under ~15 years of Microsoft they have only produced Viva Pinata, B&K:N&B, then nothing for a decade but some Kinect sports trash nobody wanted(sorry). then Sea of Thieves.
The word ‘directly’ barely applies when it comes to the EU representatives or commission :)
We had a HP Printer for a long time and it was a nightmare. After it broke down, i noticed that Epson was the first company to make a printer with ink tanks, while the others where still arguing that its not possible because the ink would dry out. I figured this must be the least evil printer company then. It's been working fine for now. Also no need to buy third party ink because the original is reasonably priced. By now the others also offer printers with tanks.
Premature optimization and whatnot
