Seems like this could lead to support / fraud issues:

> Hyperweb has two In-App Purchases: a monthly $2.99 USD subscription and a $29.99 USD yearly subscription. According to the App Store version history, the app was updated only once in the past year, on March 21, 2023. The app support link https://hyperweb.app/ and the privacy policy link https://hyperweb.app/privacy both give 404 Page Not Found errors. According to a Reddit post from a Hyperweb user, "Submitted a support email and it came back as undeliverable." Thus, Hyperweb gives all appearances of abandonware, although it remains in the iOS App Store and presumably continues to collect subscription revenue.

Sounds like they need to update policy so that defunct developers can't continue to charge for in-app purchases.
The pawns felt like they were going backwards. Maybe if they had wee arrow heads.
I believe that a significant quantity of right-wing posts, on Reddit, Facebook, etc. are not only shared by idiots, but are in fact blatant political cyber-warfare.

Just as an example: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN1CZ2OF/

Yeah. There are two. I definitely used Allegro, which apparently is from Franz. I remember that the other commercial one was very expensive.

This reads like a masterpiece of passive aggressive malicious compliance.
I think this is fun, but

(a) knights' threats are disconnected and this "flower" approach while good is maybe not ideal. You might as well use a hollow circle at that point.

(b) when we say "chess pieces can be redesigned to be..." then I think about actual physical pieces, it would not do to make these as actual physical pieces because an accidental misplacement turns a rook into a bishop or vice versa. Gotta make the bishop look like it is "sniping" along the diagonals while the rook looks more "sweeping" maybe?

(c) don't make the king a little-queen. Make the king a little square to emphasize "it can only threaten the neighboring square," then it looks more visually distinctive.

The pawns are fun though.
IMO the risk is not that Einsteins (and Carmacks) won't have the educational opportunities they need. That may have been a showstopper in the past but it certainly isn't today, not with the resources we have now from YouTube to ChatGPT.

And the world is full of parents who are neglectful with no excuse at all. I don't think early fatherhood would stop an Einstein.

Instead, the risk is that talented people will die of starvation, disease, or warfare before they have the chance to become who they are. Or that their career will be cut short by similar circumstances. See Ramanujan, or the even more-tragic but lesser-known https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_Losev .

That's where the luck factor really comes into play... the luck to be born someplace peaceful. The luck to be born male, if you have to be born into a culture driven by social or religious biases. The luck to receive the nutrition (never mind the Apples) you need as a growing child. The luck that just plain keeps other people the fuck out of your way.

And that's what we have to work on as a civilization. It's a bigger problem than simply arguing over how public education should work, or whether scientist X or inventor Y would have benefited from policy Z.

> Core Technology Fee — iOS apps distributed from the App Store and/or an alternative app marketplace will pay €0.50 for each first annual install

emphasis added on and/or; it seems like Apple is being forced to break down fees according roughly to their costs (?). Maybe installs from altapp stores cost them some resources because they want to verify the notarization each time?
I've wanted to see something like those scope beams, another idea is each square on the board could change colour by how many pieces can "see" it.
No, these emulators achieve JIT via a method intended for remotely debugging apps. AltStore has a way of automating this, but it requires an active server connection when the app is launched.

In AltStore's case, this means you need to be on the same wifi network as the computer running AltServer. I don't know whether it would be theoretically possible to do this over WAN, but it definitely isn't practical at a large scale.
That’s not according to case law. Google got in trouble explicitly because they advertised their operating system as “open” and then changed the rules.

Apple was very explicit from day one and anyone who buys an iOS device knows exactly what they are going to get.
Windows 98/ME and the Office versions of the same time are often blamed for making gradients seem boring and uncool. (Windows put a Gradient in every title bar and Office over-used them in all sort of other ways.) Microsoft was definitely an interesting contributor to both the fad at the time and the "gradients are boring" rejection a few years later because they seemed boring and uptight like an Office program.
They sure have hated it. It's completely in conflict with their vision of what a smartphone should be and how it should be used.

The framing of traditional vs modern was distasteful. That is, until I went and looked at post-modern architecture, which has even less to say than modern architecture.

Architects, we have to admit, are under-performing in the metric of "creating new architectural styles and schools of thought" and over-performing in "number of uninspiring designs."

I have to conclude that either there are systemic barriers in getting out-of-distribution buildings built, or something about the pedagogy of architects that filters or hammers out out-of-distribution designs. Either way, we're suffering from a lack of architectural imagination.

When I see neo-traditional examples[1], I can't help but be jealous we, in NA, aren't teaming with our own. Instead we've got architects churning out designs that fit squarely in confines of The Ten Thousands Buildings of Oatmeal Problem[2]. Taken as a whole, the parts and their interactions, are a system for producing architectural oatmeal.

I like the interpretation of cybercriminals as privateers, specially where the state lets it be like in Russia.
The way this always works is the law says “X”, then various parties come up with self serving interpretations of what “X” means, if they don’t mutually align they may go to a judge to figure out who’s definition of “X” will prevail.

It’s a dance, everybody knows the steps. Tech companies know the longer they can keep making money with their version of “X” the better - even if they know damn well they will lose when it goes to trial - which can take over a decade in some cases.

Microsoft practically invented the game, Google and Meta perfected it, and Apple is catching up.
Not the downvoter, but I can probably explain - Tesla forecasts are usually completely bullshit. This time they did not provide guidance, only stating than the growth will be substantially lower in 2024.

Results were 'not that bad' if it was for a normally priced car maker. Tesla shares are down not because they were 'worse than expected' - keep in mind the expectations were already slashed by WS this year.

They are down, because it's becoming clear that a lot of extremely optimistic scenarios included in the valuations are nowhere near the realm of possible. Dojo, Optimus, next gen car, FSD...

The cold truth which is becoming very apparent, is that Tesla has nothing new to show for at least the next 2 years. What they do have however, is the crushing competition coming, overcapacity, compressing margins, several serious investigations by authorities and a CEO who is showing the world what drugs can do to one's brain.

3.5 has JSON mode as of the November release, but only in the November-dated model: gpt-3.5-turbo-1106.

I found it to reliably produce JSON correctly, but I've found 3.5 to be a poor performer at things like entity extraction and following directions compared to other fast models such as claude-instant (though that does not have function calling).
You could say they're being frugal through methods that only people making that level of money and business have access to, like setting up shell tax havens and not providing free snacks at work. But this just amounts to saying you need lots of money to make lots more money.

So instead of "opening up" the iPhone if customers really care about the multiple app stores feature they could buy the phone with that feature correct?

> Yes, if the attacker can edit the the victim machine's EFI vars or the contents of its ESP, then they can make the victim machine use HTTP boot even if the victim machine didn't use HTTP boot originally. However at that point they can also wreak more havoc without involving HTTP boot.

How? The whole point of secure boot is that an attacker with even that level of access can't boot the machine in an authenticated way (and e.g. make the disk encryption key available).
I guess technically true, but the cell channels are vastly more complex and much harder to measure. Chemical gradients can pass electric currents, but they can also trigger other chemical cascades and cause physical changes in the cell that may not be reflected when a charge is applied. Logic is also fairly consistent across computer systems, where biological systems can function differently from person to person, and even within the same person at different points in time. There are so many more variables with the living system.
It seems Apple has misunderstood their role here. They are to not be involved at all in transactions between other businesses delivering software to people's phones, just like we have done for every other general purpose computer.

They will need a second, even stronger slap to finally understand it. Actually insane that they believe they will get away with this garbage.
I'm talking about the rise of the Internet, and the idea that the Internet would bring us all closer together.

Regarding Microsoft, recall that Google's "Don't be evil" mantra was specifically about contrasting them with Microsoft. That is, the idea that Microsoft used all these dirty tricks to gain prominence (which they did, and which is well documented) but that Google was going to be different and was just going to win by having the better product. And I think most people were optimistic about this, and for 10-15ish years I think Google behaved this way until the demands of "forever growth" capitalism eventually took over.

The relationship between phone manufacturers, OS providers, and careers was pretty complex that nearly every combination of openness and restrictiveness was part of the market before 2007.

But if it was a smartphone then it allowed third party apps to be installed without restriction. However, the OS itself might have been heavily controlled and/or modified by the carrier. It was common that say, Microsoft, would release an OS update and then that OS update goes to the carrier for testing and modification and then sometime later you get it. Apple, of course, was not interested in participating in that system.

Part of the early success of Android was that being an open platform meant that carriers retained a huge amount of control and they would release heavily customized carrier-specific phones.

Ask HN: Technical Challenges in Building Multi-Tenant SaaS Products
Hello Community,

I'm in the process of exploring the development of a SaaS product and am keen on understanding the landscape better from those who have walked this path before I jump into coding. Specifically, I'm looking into creating a B2B multi-tenant identity management platform for SaaS businesses.

These are the main questions that puzzle me most:

- Main Technical Challenges: What are the primary technical hurdles you've encountered in building and scaling SaaS products? Especially interested in aspects related to multi-tenancy, security, tenant management, and onboarding.

- Market Need: In your experience, is there a significant demand for a streamlined, multi-tenant identity management solution? How critical is identity management in your time-to-market considerations?

- Product-Market Fit: For those who have implemented or considered such solutions, what features or capabilities do you find most lacking or desired in the current offerings?

- Choice of Providers: Which identity management providers have you used for your SaaS products? What influenced your choice? Any pain points?

- User Experiences: What have been your experiences with these providers? Pros, cons, and any specific challenges you faced, especially in terms of multi-tenancy and security?

- Building Custom Solutions: Have any of you opted to build your own identity management solutions instead of using existing providers? What led to this decision, and how has it impacted your product development and time-to-market?

- Desired Features and Capabilities: In your view, what are the most critical features or capabilities that are lacking or could be improved in current identity management solutions?

My goal is to validate the need for a solution that simplifies identity management across different tenants.

Any insights, experiences, or advice you can share would be incredibly valuable and much appreciated. Thank you for your time and looking forward to the discussion!

Nonprofits, governments etc don’t have to pay a fee, so in effect it means we will have the AppStore, and a few free, open-source alternatives.

That is absolutely a win to the common people. And it’s not like other companies taken a hit - they can either stay on the AppStore and have their finances go through their “taxing”, or create an alternative store and find a proper monetizing strategy. They can calculate what makes sense, but it makes it hard for Facebook/google to exercise their network effect for creating a new app store at the expense of users.

FWIW Huawei smart watches are quite popular in some EU countries, but the Huawei health app needs to be installed on newest Android by downloading an APK because Google kicked it out of Play Store.

Even for me, setting this up and giving necessary permissions was non-obvious.

I don't believe any sane big company (except maybe a few with extremely loyal userbase for whom it would make big financial difference) will pull down their app from official app store and force people to go via an alternative store if they can just stay in regular store.
That would only make sense for the most frequented routes but the remaining 80% would be challenging since each person has a unique point A and B across a sprawling metropolis. The "last mile" in Los Angeles is a different beast. Each subway route would only improve the commute for less than one percent of the population. A better way would be dedicated bus lanes but it still wouldn't be as efficient as driving due to the amount of transfers you would need.
Compulsory vaccination statutes don't imply anything about whether a toddler has the fundamental inherent right to wander the neighborhood looking for immunizing material. I don't know why you brought it up.

Vaccines are not life-saving care by any definition. Not least of all because it does not cure or treat disease. I believe it's even illegal for a doctor to tell a patient otherwise. So this, too, is irrelevant.

And those are mostly third world countries so I doubt it would look good to basically sanction countries that have enough trouble with national debt as it is. And is there any country where the "bilateral" cybercrime is more significant than the legitimate bilateral trade? India is notorious for the phone scam centers but it also has a giant legitimate call center business.
It was actually kind of nice to see separate discussion talking specifically about the browser engine details instead of the overall App Store/Fee/Regulation/etc focus the comments in the overarching post trend towards. I get it though, maybe once Chrome/Firefox posts about it we can have the browser focused conversation there.
Also a bunch of extreme/obnoxious fake far left and right wing posts, basically rage bait. But it’s difficult to separate what’s fake and what’s not. Some people genuinely adopt the positions of the fake posters which is completely baffling and sad
Strong Opinions, Loosely Held – A Problematic Idea
Eggs are easy to get - just keep a few chickens which will in turn eat your trash. So we would expect anyone allowed chickens would have them. Before 1800 95% of the world population was a farmer of some sort, so space for chickens was not hard to find - other livestock need more space, but chickens can get by on very little. (many of those farmers would have been slaves, but they may have still be allowed eggs from the farm)
Yeah, except the text matters a whole lot more than the intent because that’s what you’re going to read and reference when determining how to comply. If the intent is just for Apple to roll over and show their belly, they’re not really obligated to do that. A legislative body can always rewrite laws passed by the same legislative body if the first set of laws isn’t working out the way they hoped, and the EU is a supranational entity formed by treaty between peoples with few in the way of what can be called shared legal traditions or sensibilities so you have to think the text has to really matter here.

So if it comes down to whether Apple is compliant, wouldn’t you just stack up their measures against the law as written? Which would then mean compliance is compliance, and the onus then falls on whatever prosecutorial authority is empowered here to show that it is not.
That’s only if the developer opts into the new needless system imposed by the EU.
