I don't know about you all but I miss the websites of 2007. There was so much variation and unbridled creativity. I remembered stumbling upon this page in 2007 while looking up Amon Tobin's soundtrack to Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. I can't remember the last time I saw a musician launch such a beautiful interactive site for their album release. And here it is in 2024, lovingly preserved and still functional on Internet Archive.
The DMS does create a huge set of new risks. That’s clear. Apple has advertised their platform as protecting users from those risks. They need to be able to explain the situation.

These are just facts. I don’t see any anger involved.

Obviously opinions differ on how to manage the risk. A lot of people think a more open ecosystem is worth the risk.
Apple, the brave savior of cell phones.

Nobody has installed an app, yet alone a stable one, prior to Apple. My Windows desktop currently is on fire in the corner of my office.

I try to dial 911 on my crappy Android phone but alas, it a buggy piece of shit and catches fire too. "I'll just put that with the rest of the fire..."

I literally have had one app have a problem on my phone in the last 12 months. You know what I did? I reopened it.

This shouldn't be much of a problem.
What I lament most about architectural debates is that they focus too much on individual buildings. The alienating part of the built environment where I live, which is one of the better built environments in the US, is the street layout. It's a grid, it's repetitive, and it's car-centered.

We have already figured out how to build beautiful buildings in any number of styles from many eras. That's because a building is a discrete entity whose design is managed by one group of people, who can form a relationship with an architect who pours their heart and soul into the design.

A street network, on the other hand, is managed by successive governments staffed by much more disinterested operators, and often by different governments who may be working at cross purposes. I'm not saying there should be a master plan (I actually don't like those) but rather that the logistics of designing a street network are much, much harder than for a single building, however you go about it.

I also consider the harmonization of automobile and pedestrian traffic to be an open problem. Maximalists on both sides just talk past each other. Car-oriented development is bad, but at the same time we aren't going back to a pre-car world.

Whether your model is Brasilia (modern) or Cayala (traditional), there are just so few opportunities to actually think about the design of the street network of a city. Street networks are just taken as given and then architects try to make the best of them. That's not a criticism of architects or city planners; the street network design largely seems to be on autopilot with very few opportunities for a change in direction. And for established cities, changing the network is nearly impossible.
Cervical cancer kills. I don’t think you mean “it’s worse for a man to lose his penis than for a woman to die” but that’s how it’s coming across. And that’s unfortunate because your point is entirely valid: men are not nearly terrified enough of HPV.
I expect Apple to continue to provide a secure platform.
I will not use any other app store for that reason.

I used OpenVZ for a long time before Docker came along, it was certainly nicer than what I did previously (run everything right on the host) but, of the two, I'd pick Docker every time.
Dockerfiles, images, layers, thinking of containers as "application instances", the networking, the cli, the speed, there's nothign I miss from OpenVZ, even if it was good for what it was, the way Docker improved on it made a very big difference, in a positive way.

If you want to publish a retro-gaming emulator as a hobby/open-source project, you can’t do that on Apple’s app store. And on a third-party app store you’ll have to pay Apple millions once it becomes popular (which would seem likely).

It is not really needed, but this one is definitely here for the sake of announced commercial plans. Maybe it is faster than vscode, but it is still not fast enough like most of based terminal editors. I just made my benchmarks with 500MB of dev/urandom bytes to open on clean nvim and zed. Nvim opens it in 20 seconds while it takes 30 for zed, so I can say there is at least something inside the core engine which works 50% slower that of my champion's. Non of the landing page benchmarks at zed features a fair competition with really fast and great editors.

Editor's main purpose is to edit, and i don't think that stuffing anything else in the basic box without user asking for it is necessary. You can always pick a plugin if you need AI or collaboration or suddenly hundred species of messenger is not enough and it MUST be inside you editor instead of a usual swipe to an adjacent screen.

I never released my framework, and don't intend to (abandoned this a good few years ago), but it was more than "playing house" ... It was complete enough to build/train a convnet that worked with CIFAR-10, supporting both GPU via cuDNN and CPU via my own Tensor class with MKL/IPP BLAS/etc acceleration. The API was Torch-like where you build the graph (create nodes, then connect them), then run it. I was in process of writing a version 2 with support for RNNs and auto migration of tensors from CPU to/from GPU, but gave up since PyTorch had since appeared (obviously a better approach) and it became increasingly obvious how ridiculous it was for a one-man project to attempt to catch up to SOTA!

> That is a problem, if I want to run a sketchy browser downloaded from github apple should not be able to prevent this

You can already do that today (yes, on iOS) by using your own developer-signing certificate (because if it's from github, you can build it from source; or re-link/assembly prebuilt linkable binaries if you really feel like it).

Remember the vast, vast majority of iOS users are people like (I assume) our parents - or people we knew in the late-1990s/early-2000s with an excessive number of Internet Explorer toolbars and Bonzi Buddy. I support Apple's mission to keep crap like that off their platform, but Apple sleepwalked into prompting this regulation of their app-store because they weren't the good-stewards they said they'd be - so I'm ambivalent about the whole thing.
I don’t see why smartphones inherently have to be a special case of computer where the manufacturer or OS developer gets to keep their finger in the pie after the sale. I can install any software I want on my desktop or laptop, and nobody gets a cut of it unless both the seller and I freely choose to use an app store.
It has a multiplier effect. Government wants to spend money without raising it in taxes, forces the central bank to "loan" it money which it does via "printing" (increasing the balance of the govt at the CB accounts). The government spends the money on salaries and pensions which is then deposited into banks, which use those deposits to justify even more lending.
I also feel like I’m not from any place in particular but I’m now at a point where I’d like to settle.

I’ve moved countries a lot, my immediate family is all over the place and also moved quite a bit.

So how do you pick a place and country to live? Because all of Europe is an option, I’m lucky but also don’t know where (and how) to pick.

Could you share the insights if any you got from your experience settling someplace?
This is fantastic, I would love to try playing a game with these pieces. I think this could improve accessibility and also make the game less intimidating for newcomers.
I did not imply that, and what you are asking there is a fallacy. Maintenance is a core part of airworthiness, and the only way you can mitigate design flaws.

But at the same time, if you had a running processor with a known side channel vulnerability, and you know the manufacturer doesn’t release a mitigation or doesn’t really care that much about security, would you still use it? Is the manufacturer liable for not releasing mitigations or not caring that much about security?

If the airframe is not airworthy after inspections and there is no maintenance remedy that can be applied to it at an economical cost, then that airplane shall be scrapped… Even before it reaches the FAA. So in a way yes, if you can’t apply maintenance the way it is supposed to be, then it is not airworthy, and if the manufacturer does not release proper TNs to mitigate design flaws, then it is also not airworthy. I will wait to the report from the FAA and see what they find out.
Age of consent laws have nothing to do with parents' rights; that's about the child's rights. I don't think any of us want a world where a parent can consent to sex on behalf of their child.

(In fact, parents' rights to consent to underage marriage in some states is currently a loophole in this regard. https://www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/channels/news/child-marriages...)

> In many U.S. states, children can legally marry at an earlier age than they can consent to sex, leading to situations where sex between spouses may be a criminal act. Some states exempt sex between married spouses from their definition of statutory rape, which may create perverse incentives for child marriage, according to researchers from McGill University.
> Two types of toilets of United States design were used. [...] The public toilet was tankless, using water line pressure for flushing, as is typical of United States public toilets. [...] The home toilet was a typical siphonic toilet with a tank

So neither was a tanked washdown toilet, as is universal in Europe. I wonder if those behave any differently.

As I understand this, no app developer is forced to change to the new terms:

> New Business Terms for Apps in the EU

Also today, Apple is sharing new business terms available for developers’ apps in the European Union. 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.
Doesn't CubeMX take care of that or are you not using it?

While the standard price of an intra-EU SMS was more than twice as expensive as a domestic one.

Which is why new iPhones still have Lighting connectors. Oh wait.

Apple themselves don't seem to have a problem with displaying a red notification dot/badge on the "Settings" app to anyone who doesn't set up any card in Apple Pay on their new devices, at least.
Not exactly. AshamedCaptain gets it. If the device can be configured to trust a user-supplied key instead of or in addition to Microsoft's, there is no need to provide any keys. This is up to the hardware supplier.

You mean

"She says data available for Gardasil shows that it lasts five years; there is no data showing that it remains effective beyond five years."

well, there wasn't any 5+ years data in 2009.

Weird that when this comes up in the antivaxxer catechisms it's always this story from 2009 and never Dr. Harper's 15 years of work since then firmly establishing the efficacy, safety, and longevity of the vaccine, and setting up vaccination and screening programs world wide to hopefully eliminate cervical cancer within the next few decades.
Inflation rates as quoted by governments aren't always informative because they tend to exclude many prices that are the most affected by money printing e.g. equities.

It’s issued by the FAA based on the reports from the manufacturer, which can collude, falsify or mislead the authorities. The FAA does 0 testing on the airplanes, it is all done and documented by the manufacturer.
Saying the stock market is surging is a bit of an oversimplification. If you compare trough (Oct '22) to peak (Jan '24) you get a 65% annualized rate of increase.

But if you compare peak (Nov '21) to peak (Jan '24) we're essentially flat at 1.4% annualized.

If a business accustomed to double digit growth every year instead saw 1.4% growth annualized over 2 years then the numbers simply can't work out to keep doing what they've always done.

The fact that equity valuations are WAY better than they were in Oct '22 doesn't really help because nobody was raising money during the down turn in the first place! Everyone is priced in on pre-pandemic valuations, which for the most part are unchanged.

Note: I used the NASDAQ-100 Technology Sector, ticker NDXT to calculate these numbers [0].

ThinkPads had some nice things, like the keyboard, but durability was never one of them. Whenever I open a laptop I still do this weird hand dance in order to try to use the minimal amount of force required. An habit I acquired after a handful of broken hinges in the 90s...
Sure! I'm happy to discuss, my reason for referencing the video is because I think 'mcpherrim explains this stuff better than I do :-).

My understanding is that the primary concerns with OCSP (meaning non-stapled OCSP) are that it (1) leaks end user intent to CAs, such as sites being visited, and (2) in its original form with no transport security, it is no stronger than the adversary that it needs to protect TLS/the Web PKI against (i.e., any network adversary can block the OCSP request and everything will fail open).

OCSP stapling avoids both of those concerns, but requires web server and other stack changes that are not on the "enforcement" path in the way that CAs and other "direct" parts of the PKI are. The talk infers that this is why OCSP adoption has been so sluggish (which I didn't realize was the case before).

FWIW, I'm sorry if I came across as dogmatic here -- revocation is conceptually important, and I think it'd be great if we ended up in a Web PKI where revocation was more effective. But I can also see why browsers have fumbled and/or dragged their feet on the CRLs and OCSP for so long.

The DMA gives realtively broad interpretation power to the the EU commission, so they can potentially shut this down without new regulation required.

My Samsung SPH-I300 had color and audio and internet and browser and basically an app for anything you could imagine just like android or ios today (better, since there was no Apple or Google preventing anyone from making any app they want, or preventing you from installing it), in 2000 or 2001, 7 years before the iphone or android.

Without a keyboard or numpad just a full front face color touch screen, it was a prototype modern style phone. I had email, audible.com app, ebook readers, ssh and irc clients, even a vnc client. Vnc & rdp were ractically useless on 14.4k dialup equivalent and 160x240, but it actually physically worked. I had a couple different contacts db to dialer integration apps. Then just the infinite random apps like a netmask calculator, resistor color code calculator, etc. The contacts db had my works entire customer & vendor dbs on the phone while off line by using a simple csv export and the palm desktop synced it to the phone. Full size sd card slot.

It was freaking great. in 2001. iphone and android are 2007

A long-range directional base station that automatically tracks the drone (and can switch to omni at short range) would be cool.
A base Model 3 is $39,000.

Also, you should be using 2012 dollars, not 2008 dollars. A forward looking statement like "I'll do X for less than $Y dollars next year" should already be accounting for inflation in that $Y.
The fact that notarization is not required to install an app on MacOS.
lol -fair enough.
What costs that are rolled into Apple’s 30% are you saving on? Payment processing is let’s say 3% (including chargebacks). Delivering updates is just pushing bits, practically zero. What else are they doing?

If Apple features you, then I guess it’s pretty fair to say you’ve paid a marketing expense, but they feature a tiny percent of apps. Most of us get nothing but buried in the app store.

30% is a lot.
There's a recent video you can search, a woman walking out the door of her apartment building. A young man sneaks up behind her and puts a bullet in her head. She died.

She didn't have to have any thought about the bullet. She didn't have to think ANYTHING about the physical world. Nothing about her state of mind affected the outcome.

Physical reality is independent of what we think of it.

> Maybe they really do see differently to you

I appreciate you think you see it differently. But your actions show you don't believe it as deeply as you think you do. You are a prisoner of the physical realm, not an inhabitant of a higher, more spiritual, plane. What good is it saying something is imaginary, if it affects everything you do, and you can't escape it. That sounds like something very real indeed.
> they have a 100% market share on this kind of format

YouTube videos being the format?

Google owns YouTube. Google pays Apple tens of billions to keep its search front and centre. If Google thought YouTube had the leverage you do, wouldn’t you think they’d try swinging that around?
Well, duh, it's designed to keep every app with reach bound to the Apple App Store.
People who disagree won't like your comment, but it is a legitimate view.

I'm all for side loading, but at the same time I would like Apple to have enough drag to force the big players (e.g. Meta) to continue to publish on the App Store and follow the rules.
If they allow desktop extensions then I can see it happening.
Android phones like Samsung and Oneplus etc are good now. Why put yourself through this? For iMessage?
I'm not fond of calling people names, but yes, for all the times I've heard this, nobody has convinced me of why every piece of hardware and software needs to be forcibly open-source or whatever.
It would be interesting to do an experiment on people playing one another (online) with these pieces vs regular pieces (e.g. one player with a regular set and one player with this set). Because I do feel like I can visualize the state of the board more easily with this approach--but would that translate across people into better play, or is there some point where a more expert player (I don't play very often, though I enjoy playing and have played for years) has already internalized the mapping from piece shape to movement. But that said, it does feel like the difference between font styles in programming, which for me have a very meaningful impact over time.

Edit: Though good point to the parallel commenters, the knight shape is harder to differentiate and kind of throws me off. But maybe tweaks there.
