It is possible that this is some big conspiracy to increase the number of fit, military age folks in the short term, it seems unlikely.

If there were ever to be any kind of “meat grinding” war, it would be escalated to aircraft, drones, and long range missiles pretty quickly I think, with a relatively small number of infantry losses through active combat.

There are also a significant number of people who believe that risky play (or the lack of it) is resulting in mental health issues in today’s young adults, who are finding themselves inexperienced in dealing with feelings of fear, unfamiliar with perseverance and delayed gratification, and are also as you have noted, physically out of shape.

Just because “teenagers being fitter” would benefit the military does not mean that’s the purpose of encouraging riskier play.

Don't start a startup as a business unless you know how startups work from the inside. Also, unrelated to startups but with products individuals are probably not "in" on the market, so will fail even with excellent products and marketing. You can't be an outside participant and succeed (although inside may notice outside and bring them in). Maybe if a small customer base is enough for you as an outsider you can succeed.
That is, I'm sorry to be so blunt, not a well thought out idea. The flammability range for hydrogen in air is 4% - 74%, and even though it ignites with difficulty at dilutions higher than 10%, you would still have to dilute it like mad in order to get a provably non-flammable lifting gas.

10% H2 in N2 is not good for lifting... let alone 4%.

---

Oh, and, tri-atomic CO2 is very heavy (44 g/mol). So, waving the ideal gas law around, it really doesn't make sense to use that for lifting purposes at all when you have other, smaller things around.
>Yes, it's been Apple's modus operandi with the App Store from the start: trick consumers into thinking the App Store being a monopoly is the only thing that can protect them against malware, illicit and questionable app content, pirated software, scams, and fraud.

When someone claims he's the only one who can protect the public I immediately see some question marks.

Sometimes in Rust it is hard to find simple things that solve simple problems.

is this thing going to shock my brain or what? how does it work, the site doesn't really say. My main concern is whether or not its harmless.
Same boat, I'm a 32 software developer and gamer, always spent most of the day on a computer, but since last year I'm very tired every day, I'm a father and doctors dismissed me as having some sort of midlife crisis or changes in my life even though from my perspective, I've never been happier, the only thing bringing me down is being tired. I sometimes feel dizzy when standing up, way more often and stronger than the natural dizzy you sometimes get when staying sitting too long.

The list of possible reasons is long and not all can be tested: long Covid, ME/CFS, diabetes, sleep apnea, depression, vitamin deficiencies.

I've tried to practice more sports, stopped all coffee and alcohol for a month, slept for longer, nothing changed, but I should continue some of this anyway.

There's also this documentary on long covid or me/cfs where some people have it so much worse, can't get out of bed like the Youtuber PhysicsGirl... Devastating.

Early studies seem to indicate permanent brain damage because of viruses like Covid, so there might be no chance of recovery, just learning to live with it.
> A PDF is a single file that contains all the images, fonts, and other data needed to render it.

A PDF can include the fonts. But it often doesn't, and relies on system fonts. One reason for that is because including fonts in the PDF can dramatically increase the size of the file. In some cases a single font could be larger than the entire rest of the file. I've also worked on implementing embedding fonts in some software that generated PDFs. It was surprisingly difficult to figure out how to get it to work reliably.

> PDFs are rendered consistently.

Not as much as you would think. There are several cases where the same PDF will render differently depending on which PDF viewer you use. Usually the differences are pretty subtle, but occasionally there are edge cases that result in pretty significant differences. I've even run into a case where the same version of Acrobat reader will render a PDF differently depending on what OS you are using.
I've noticed a lot of jitter in the video, even in "stabilized" versions. It seems like there was jitter in how the cels were placed on the backgrounds, in addition to jitter of the whole frame. It's not so easy to stabilize it out. It would be cool to clean that up too with modern techniques.

More speculatively it seems to me like AI is approaching the level of image understanding where it could draw new in between frames in a much, much smarter way than typical terrible frame interpolation. That would be a great project and potentially commercially valuable. Steamboat Willie is animated at 24 FPS but it's common for animated TV shows to be done at 8 FPS and they could really benefit.
Since the law already mandated a higher price, why did it still need to be sold?
But Apple was scanning all applications' executables before Notarization/App Store listing. With browsers or JITs they can't do so.

Imagine being a photographer, and your most famous image becomes an image that everyone recognizes because “that stage picture that Kat Von D tattooed on X celebrity” seems fair enough that she should pay you for your work. And sure the media might be imperfect. So is transferring a picture to a r-shirt, yet there we recognize the rights of the artist.

It’s funny that if someone was copying her original tattooes the she would obviously be arguing that it was infringement.

Installs only matter on iPhones in the EU.

I might be missing something, but why is it clear to you that Yandex is an arm of the Russian government? Yandex has been critical of the Russian government's war on Ukraine [0] and faced consequences because of it which signals to me that this isn't the case.

As someone living in the west, I'm disappointed by our governments' hypocrisy over the massacre in Palestine while supporting Ukraine's right to resisting an invading force. Our governments' support of the massacre in Palestine (even dealing out death to peaceful resistance, as we can see by the bombing of Yemen when its people merely made economic trade inconvenient to protest the massacre) made me think the people in charge of western countries are no better and probably even worse than dictatorships such as China and Russia. (Western governments are just better to their own citizens apparently.)

iOS is about to get more open, provided you live in the EU
Appreciate your insights here.
Well, no, it’s $100/year for the developer fee plus the 15-30% you paid to Apple if you charged money anywhere, which in the US is now 12-27% if you subtract Apple’s payment processing portion and soon in the EU this new complex scheme which I don’t even want to summarize, but amounts to a price drop in some circumstances and a price increase in other circumstances. There can be 3rd party app stores now but nobody who develops for the platform is taking advantage of the features and APIs Apple invested their own money and developer time into building out without paying Apple something above a certain threshold.

I mean whether it’s the EU or Epic, Apple isn’t interested in letting anybody just co-opt their baby.
Good point. It looks like all the regulators need to create some new regulations requiring decent forward-looking visibility, which means no more humongous hoodlines.

> The powerful effect of incentive plans (independent of quotas) was documented in an older
study of Army guidance counselors.22 A key responsibility of guidance counselors is to channel
applicants into the Army’s priority occupations. During the period under study, guidance
counselors were under an incentive plan that offered counselors additional points for selling a
high-priority occupation. The study found that simply offering five more incentive plan points
for selling a particular occupation was more than twice as effective as offering an enlistment
bonus to a recruit. That is, it was more effective to give the seller (the guidance counselor) an
incentive to “sell” the occupation than it was to give the buyer (the recruit) an incentive to “buy”
the occupation.

Your calculation is wrong its $400k per month, per year it would be $5millions. Even worse if after one year you make some bug fix update and all those 10m people update your app you will own another $5 million - and by default app store install updates automatically
They are however required by law to allow other app stores to function. This new licensing cost is a bald faced attempt to make other app stores nonviable. I'd be highly surprised if the EU is okay with that.
Oh good I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds these comments inscrutable.

Anecdotally I've heard the people living downwind of the big oilsands developments suffer a wide range of health problems from the toxic air quality. It's no secret that these developments are not good for human or animal health, although the big oil companies don't advertise it. I guess the upshot is that to even get to Fort McMurray you need to drive for hours through pure wilderness--no towns, no farms, nothing but endless forest. It's far out of the way of where most people would choose to live (were it not for high-paying oil jobs).

But even in the south of the province it feels like the air quality has been deteriorating. We seem to get air pollution warnings are long more than I ever remember growing up.
> especially since she didn't get paid for the tattoo comes out the same.

If she paid forward every bit of money flowing too her due to social media attention decided by the share of engagement derived from the photo, the artist would be Extremely happy and the case would be over.

These days attention is money, and this already gave her a ton of attention, not it’s giving her even more.
> And let’s take Meta as a good example. Their Instagram app alone is used by over 300 million people in Europe. Let’s just say for easy math there’s 250 million of those in the EU. In order to distribute Instagram on, say, a new Microsoft iOS App Store, Meta would have to pay Apple $11,277,174 PER MONTH(!!!) as a “Core Technology Fee”. That’s $135 MILLION DOLLARS per year. Just for the privilege of putting Instagram into a competing store. No fee if they stay in Apple’s App Store exclusively.

Off topic, but what's the difference between the term jitter and judder?

I've tried to google it multiple times, but every time, I can only find various forum posts which are all over the place (if not straight up contradict to each other).
Yes, Apple can do what it wants, unless it can't because the EU tells it that it can't, lawyers courts litigation etc. I get that.

What does that have to do with being asked to pay $400k/month for a free app that you made $0 from being considered by the person I replied to as "better for developers and users in the EU."?
Don't use static variables and shared state in service code and you won't have race conditions. Use rpc, cqrs or a number of other service oriented approaches. Go, as an example tends to embrace an approach that scales well and doesn't have the issues you mention.

Of course properly using mutexes and locking can help, so can serially shared state where state is mutated by a single process with request/response. Or you can use something like Nude, where there's only a single language execution thread. Most can leverage an RDBMS as the source of truth for state.

Tighter coupling doesn't mean ignoring ways to reduce certain risks and complexity.

A more monolithic code base doesn't have to be muddy.

As to the smaller services, what happens when you have literally hundreds of smaller services to orchestrate? Is that really reasonable for an application that will never have even a million users?

It comes down to balance and simplicity over complexity.

Micro services don't remove complexity, they only shift it. And if the same people are responsible it becomes more to try to reason with.
I mean ultimately both companies have invested R&D into building their SDKs and it comes across as bizarre to me to suggest that one company should be legally banned from charging licensing fees for their use.
You wouldn't, but that's what competent regulatory bodies are for.
Non-iPhone installs don’t count. Installs outside the EU don’t count either.

It’s only first unique install in a 12 month period on iPhones in the EU and then only the ones that are above 1M that are charged €0.50 in monthly installments.
You aren't wrong but the misuse is within the bounds of what you are saying. They only need to make a reasonable effort to avoid directly surveilling conversations between two Americans if there's evidence available they are both Americans. They collect until they realize both parties are American and from what I understand those communications after the realization are not purged.

Additionally if you are speaking with foreigners they are also authorized to collect. The idea is that they can only use it for intelligence purposes but those data sets including domestic communications which were collected 'by accident' are exposed to the FBI for counter intelligence reasons. The problem is that the FBI has notoriously abused this and run searches against the database for domestic individuals for reasons other than counter intelligence.

The pay (for tech jobs) isn't that bad compared to other peer nations. It's bad everywhere, compared to the US, where salaries are much, much higher than pretty much everyplace else, except possibly Switzerland.

However, the cost of living is much lower in Japan than in the large tech-hub cities in the US (and probably even mid-tier cities). Life in the US is really expensive these days.

Hi, bad person here, happily building apps for their devices.

They missed out on €0 because government entities, non-profits and educational institutions are exempt from the install fee.

Alternatively you can also just stick with the App Store and pay 15%/30% over revenue without install fee, which would also be €0 in your hypothetical.
> Who will you change to?

Since there is only one alternative, I am going to assume that this is a rethorical question designed to invite a discussion about how the alternative is significantly worse in your point of view. Not an interesting debating technique, to be honest.

> Pretty much every other company with a mechanism to send photos to the cloud scans your pictures for CSAM right now and nobody cares. They've been doing it for many years.

There are alternatives available that don't do this, but again, your point appears to be written simply to elicit this specific reponse. Your "pretty much every other company" makes it clear that you are also aware that options exist.

> Nobody cares.

Your next paragraph indicates that, actually, a _lot_ of people cared.

> Apple invited community discussion before implementing it.

Not really. Apple made an announcement, and in the face of an absolute, unmitigated _shitstorm_ of criticism from pretty much _everyone_, they -after fighting an incredibly hard and expensive PR battle- grudgingly called a temporary truce and relented on some of the items they wanted to implement. To frame this as "Apple worked with the community and listened" is... fancy.

The point of that debacle, and this sub-thread, is that Apple is irrepairibly damaging their brand. In the "we will scan all your photos on your device to make sure the content is acceptable" story, they destroyed (literally forever, in the eyes of many people) their branding message that they were on _my_ side, when it comes to privacy and unwanted intrustion of all vendors, including Apple, into my device. That was literally the reason I switched from Android, and by retroactively changing that deal unilaterally on devices I already purchased, they instantly and irrepairably invalidated my only reasons for buying into their overpriced and closed walled garden.

In this new debacle with the EU and their -frankly- childish reponse they once again showed their disdain for their users.
