Yeah, but not because of "hyperinflation".

Hyperinflation is an effect, not a cause. As the article says, "Half of Hungary’s industrial capacity was destroyed and 90% was damaged. Transportation was difficult because most of the rail lines and locomotives had been destroyed. What remained had either been taken by the Nazis back to Germany or seized as reparations by the Russians."

When you have no goods, you have a crisis. Inflation is a consequence of the crisis, but the money problem is immaterial. It's just numbers.

Governments can respond in the short term by trying to reconstruct infrastructure and giving IOUs -- which is what "printing money" really is. If it works, the infrastructure gets rebuilt and the economy can start returning to normal.

If it doesn't, the paper money is worthless, because there's nothing to buy. Gawping at how big the numbers get isn't useful, because the problem is the lack of product, not the number on the currency.

"Biggest hyperinflations" isn't really a meaningful category, because it's looking at the problem from the wrong end. You need to look at what happened to the country's resources and what they were doing to fix it.
Amiga is famous for The Juggler, an animation by Eric Graham which did exactly that in January 1986. It became an Amiga "mascot" of sorts and the animation was used to advertise the machine in computer shops, magazines, etc.

“Forced into”, as if apple hasn’t been producing literally every other items besides iphones with usb-c, based on their own choices.

Of course if there were a law like that, they will rather point their fingers at the EU, over their users blaming apple for the slight inconvenience of changing.

I knew in the interview when I lost one of the younger guys. He kind of looked at me like kind of an alien and shut down.

In the end, they are wanting to move to Los of micro services with a Kafka event bus... And my talking about mini monoliths seemed antithetical to that.

I don't even have a problem with micro services... I have experienced problems with lots of micro services. That being the orchestration complexity and difficulty reading with too many services.

So, my opinion has shifted with time and experience. As it generally does and has.

There are similar ways to get an application that deals with millions of users today. And I mean literally less than 10 million at a more than optimistic peak for the domain.

> single digit percentages used to be a thing on platforms before Valve moved the Overton window with Steam

I think people really underestimate the customer value of Steam. I have a library of 20 years of game purchases. From numerous different game companies. I can install all of them on any computer, now including my Linux machines, or a Steam Deck. If a device can't run one of those games, I can stream from another machine with Steam Link, including now to my VR headset. If a game uses Steam's multiplayer networking, multiplayer just ... works. No worrying about ports, NAT, anything. It just works every time, unlike every other multiplayer system I've used. If a game uses Steam Workshop, mods are available right in the same program, no extra tools required.

Besides the hardware and the game purchases themselves, all of that was free for me, the consumer. I get that Valve takes a big cut, but the value add of Steam is almost immeasurable from the consumer end. I've bought games from GOG but the experience isn't even close. Every game I've had to buy through Origin or Ubisoft directly had made me grit my teeth at their bloated launchers. Most of the physical games I've bought outside steam have been lost, damaged, or deteriorated with time.

If someone had told me 20 years ago, when I was signing up launch week and it kept crashing, that Steam would be this ubiquitous, useful, and free, I wouldn't have believed you. Steam is an incredible value add that makes PC gaming a tremendously better experience than console.

> Imagine if brains worked the same way. That there is actually a naturally-forming high level "brain language" that is turned by a "brain compiler" function into a low-level "brain assembly," but when we look at it all we see is the assembly.

Though honesty, if nature wanted to screw with us, it would make brain properly encrypted, perhaps even running on homomorphic encryption. Good luck deciphering that.

But why? Apple is providing the whole ecosystem, operating system, security, notarization etc - there are costs to be covered.

Of course there are costs incurred per install. Previously there were covered by a higher 30% fee on app costs. Now, with opening up the platform to alternative stores, the EU has pushed Apple to a per-install model.

So to me, this seems completely reasonable as a standard iPhone user.

I understand the security and performance of the platform costs more - that is why I use an iPhone not an Android.

While I agree with you, I think it is already possible to make a "browser" on iOS today that tries to steal your data. The only thing stopping it is manual review, not any technological measures. In fact, if the point of an app is to steal your browsing data, it is easier for them to stick with WebKit and WKWebView than to invest in a new browsing engine. Existing APIs provide plenty of opportunity to inject almost annything into web views.

Cookie disclosure/consent can be an issue, and again, sometimes companies would rather just not serve EU clients altogether than build a simple disclosure and not set any cookies. Not saying that's good or bad, but that's just what it is.
Wait what? The nonprofit organisation thing seems very significant. That makes it fairly easy to get around if you’re just developing an app for fun, or for open source organisations to get apps distributed.

So what are we left with? Apps where users are the product, like Facebook, and freemium apps where you end up paying to get anything useful done with it anyway. Apps where the parent company is making millions if not billions. Is anybody upset that those guys have to chip in for iOS development?

I personally think Apples approach is the lesser of two evils. We don’t pay for OS explicitly anymore. But look at Windows and Android… you end up paying somehow in the end anyway. I’d rather it be through fees on apps than more insidious approaches.

And no. Paying for the phone is not a viable way to pay for the OS. That incentives the phone maker to ditch OS updates for old phones. And we know that’s a real issue. As long as we pay through app fees the phone makers are incentivised to keep releasing OS updates for old phones.

Well, it's important to make the distinction between the Play Store and Google Services (the software). Plenty of things _depend_ on Google Services, some of them you have no option, like bank apps.

It's true however that you can use microG to replace Google Services, but even then some banks will block your account upon doing that (happened to me).

Granted, this really is a completely different point to what you were discussing, and I do agree with you. But, if we want truly open ecosystems, we need standards that ensure the authenticity of the user. Unfortunately, that gets distopian fast.

I really don't know what to think of all of this.
I still have a set which was sold as "Visual Chess", and you can still find it on eBay for example. The pieces were mostly like traditional design (but kind of "modernized" in 1960s style) but when viewed from the top (i.e. as you play), there was an indication of the allowed move. You can see some examples in the image link below.

Even the pawns had a nice design which clearly indicated that movement of one square forward (normally), or attacking on the diagonal, were both allowed.

The knight shape does seem off. But it avoids the piece being a sun symbol / fascist tribute piece :-)
One thing EU regulators could do is to say "ok but you have to charge the iOS user for it instead of the developer". Then if users accept it - fine, let them have it.

The same should go for 30% appstore fee: make it explicit and add it to the user's bill: "1$ for the developer and your card is also charged separately with 30c Apple tax".
That would actual competition for the best platform real.

Why? I've had no issues.
What? How do you think they support developing the OS, running security, notarizing and reviewing your apps etc.

This needs to be funded somehow.

I'm surprised there are commenters who have such a strong view - that they should just be able to access all the benefits of the iOS ecosystem that Apple has built over many years, and then have all that access for free too.
I was recently thinking of posting a similar ask hn, but opted not to because if felt too complainy and I’m not sure if the issue is with me or not.

I mainly feel that the scope of a developer’s responsibilities is constantly growing and it’s becoming too much.

I started doing front-end ~20 years ago. At that time we got a psd file, cut it into pieces and created a clickable mock-up. Maybe you’d need to loop through some php of a templating language to make it more dynamic but the logic resided in the backend.

Today I’m still responsible for converting that design, but it’s no longer a clickable mock-up, it’s now an application with its own state and logic that needs to be managed. We now have auth in the client so OAuth comes into play as well.

Instead of creating an index.htm and style.css we npm init which throws cryptic errors about mismatched dependencies, use a bundler, typescript, eslint, … all with their own config. It’s crazy to juggle all this config he’ll.

We used to upload our files to an ftp and called it a day. Now I have to setup a CI/CD, configure our AWS setup and it should all happen in one sprint.

As a React developer it’s also assumed that you know React Native. So you don’t only need to manage node, npm, … you’re now managing Xcode, Android Studio and the entire ecosystem that comes with it. How can you possibly build something of quality under these circumstances?

So yes, we should take a step back and look at the complexity we’re creating. Or at least look into splitting up that complexity into more different roles so that a front-end developer can do front-end again.
Yes, and that was the only evidence supplied to why they were 'awful'. The post should have been ignored on that basis alone, but because it wasn't its easy to see why GP might have extrapolated their response.

There is demand and we do see it. Cydia and fdroid.
On the other hand, if they have fabd creating more sophisticated chips, why would they also create old tech when they can just buy it? Just because they're using STM32's doesn't mean their fab tech is worse. It means the cost of making their own 40mm chips right now is more than the cost of importing them.
The same kinds of psycho who promote Secure Boot. They _really_ believe in a security strategy which _requires_ everything that could be potentially be compromised to not be signed by Secure Boot. The moment you have something signed which has a vulnerability, you can use it to decrypt everyone's SecureBoot+TPM encrypted hard drives.

Why that ever was considered a valid security approach is over me, as there is an entire gallery of vulnerabilities like this one. It also completely ignores the elephant in the room called Windows.

Example of this type of thinking: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/3/767

Note that despite Linus' reticences, in a lot of distros integrity mode is indeed enabled when you boot with Secure Boot on. Likely because of MS politics and distros wanting an MS UEFI signature being forced to "go through the hoops" as explained in that thread. As a result enabling Secure Boot usually cripples your distro, preventing you from e.g. hibernating.

Yes I noted it doesn't answer the "hard" problem explicitly in both of my replies here on this thread. Indeed, the very reason it is called the "hard" problem is b/c it very well seems perhaps unsolvable (though this is certainly debatable, but this is the very etymology of the term).

Your actual stated questions (why am I me and not someone else, etc) are in no way part of the "hard" problem's formulation, and are indeed easily answered by materialism as I noted.

Perhaps take a look at the wiki article on the hard problem: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Hard_problem_of_consciousness

This idea is common in Shogi piece designs for those who can't read the traditional Kanji designs.
I agree on the usefulness piece and that words/ideas have meaning. But usefulness shouldn’t be conflated with the underlying truth and neither should classifications of convention. As the saying goes, all models are wrong, but some are useful. I can say that burying the dishes from a meal that made me sick may help avoid future food poisoning; while useful, it doesn’t get me closer to the underlying truth of germ theory.

I think the heart of these more philosophical debates is a desire for fundamental truth, not just a useful mental model.

>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.

In a pure technical sense, you're right, a mobile phone's computer doesn't have to be locked down such that the manufacturer like Apple controls the subsequent financial transactions on it.

Instead of technical reasons, what happened was Apple taking advantage of historical control of cellphones by the carriers that was in place before Apple flipped the relationship around in 2007:

- (1) before 2007, the cell carriers like AT&T and Verizon controlled what kind of software could be on the Palm Treo, Blackberry, Motorola, etc.

- (2) Apple showed an iPhone prototype to Cingular/AT&T that impressed them so much that they were willing to give up software platform control to Apple. This was the first time a phone manufacturer had the leverage to do this.
Cingular was lagging behind Verizon so that's why Cingular was willing to play ball and relinquish control.

- (3) after 2007, Apple now controls the phone's software ecosystem with their App Store restrictions and it's a power they want to keep. In their mind, they feel justified since they are the ones who spent money on developing the phone and they're allowing more "freedom" of 3rd-party software than the carriers did.

Apple's perspective is that its smartphones are not "open" computers like the IBM PC and Macbooks. Instead, it's the "closed" computers like the Sony PlayStation.

Another "closed" computer is the AMD Ryzen + Linux system in Tesla's infotainment system. There is no "Tesla app store" for it. Instead, a 3rd-party app like Spotify has to forge a formal contractual partnership with Tesla to get integrated into the car's software. Some stories about that: https://www.google.com/search?q=spotify+signs+partnership+wi...

Likewise, is there any technical reason why Tesla can't let you sideload any app on the car? No. But Tesla doesn't let you.

Yeah, although price/cost is another thing

I noticed in a lot of the reviews for the 16 that dropped yesterday. They made a point that the Framework is generally more expensive for similar performance than competitors, which is true!

But in the 13, upgrading to a new mainboard with a new CPU was ~half the cost of buying fresh.

So, if in 3-5 years when the user decides they need an upgrade, they don't _need_ to buy an entire laptop, just a new mainboard. It seems to me that even a single upgrade cycle like this brings the cost at _least_ to parity, if not cheaper than competitors.
