Ok, but it still seems to be on-topic for HN [0], in a broader sense of evolving societal norms/ enforcement/ freedom-of-speech, comparing the US to other countries which don't have school uniforms (and rarely have dress codes) but have higher educational achievement (e.g. Germany) etc.

How about a counter-study which compares how many pages schools spend on rules on academic behavior vs non-academic stuff like dress codes, vs. education outcome, PPP-adjusted? I'd like to see the scatterplot showing all countries on those axes.

Btw, there are multiple reasons for school dress codes, and it's by no means all about sex, or even discipline: some of them are about minimizing socioeconomic competing for status.

Can you point to a few successful worked examples of "spokes-to-hub"?
I think what many people are missing and you're pointing out is that this is a licensing issue. It's no different from Unreal Engine taking a 5% cut of every game sold or Sony taking a cut of all PS games. Developing using iOS libraries and tools requires developers to accept the licensing terms put forward by Apple. There is a lot of precedence for Apple's terms and they are better than most others.

If this is an issue we want to address, then we need software/ip licensing in general to be changed.

> I strongly disagree with that. Apple and Google have both spent billions developing and maintaining their respective platforms. A government entity shouldn’t be able to overreach and regulate how they are able to maintain and distribute their own platform.

What? That's a large part of most government's responsibility. If we used the logic you described above, then the US government should never of touched Big Tobacco, Bell, Standard Oil, US Steel, ect.

I don't really want to debate if the multi-trillion dollar conglomerate known as Apple is a monopoly, however I'll happily engage with anyone who thinks a government shouldn't regulate a company they concluded to be anti-competitive and monopolistic.
I was half expecting this to be about speed bumps. I'm being pedantic, but I would use "automatically stop" instead of "physically stop" when we are talking about software control systems.

>This $1.1 trillion breaks down as $910 billion in total billings and sales from the sale of physical goods and services, $109 billion from in-app advertising and $104 billion for digital goods and services.

They take 15% to 30% of $104 Billion. That is at best $31.2B. In case this isn't even clear. Apple collect ZERO on the $910 physical goods and services such as Uber and ZERO on the $109 In-App Advertising revenue.

>~80% margin on $165-$330B revenue in 2022 would be $132-$264B. So my original number of $100B may actually have been on the low side.

It is 80% margin on the at best $31.2B revenue. Not the $104 Billion Sales.

Apple reported FY 2022 Services Revenue as $78B. You cant have a Net Profits more than your total Services Revenue Income.
it seems reinstall and app updates also counts - it's not just 1 million new app install a year but probably also:

1. You made a one time paid app. If in the first year you got 2M installs and sold app for 5$ you are profitable, but next year if those users who already paid will make an app update then you will own ~$1M to apple for those app updates even if you didn't make any new money from those users. You would be forced to change your business model to subscriptions.

2. If user has iPhone, iPad, apple watch and your app support all those platforms then probably this will be counted as 3 installs.

3. By default app store updates app automatically - if user has still some old iphone/ipad that uses from time to time this is getting even worse.
The freaks would reply, “how do we tweak our traffic infrastructure to minimize the effect of deadly irresponsibility?”

but that is mostly up to you. They can’t stop you living beyond your means just tell you what those means are. Another example (in countries that have it) is GST/VAT that you collect and pay the government later assuming you didn’t spend it!

You realize we're actually talking about an Apple Car, right? Not Teslas. You're making points about why you think Teslas are shit, but I merely used them for illustrative purposes. Again, regardless of how much you like your car, it is not seen as "innovative", in large part because it is an ICE vehicle. Quality control, individual components, and decisions about the best way to interface with a car are secondary to that. In fact, you're only helping make the point. The fact that Teslas have a number of clear issues (including a founder many people like to hate) and yet still win the hearts and minds of people as an innovator in the car space speaks volumes.

Building an electric vehicle does not mean you need to be like Tesla in other ways. Apple doesn't want to be a Tesla clone, they want to do their own thing. I'm sure the bigwigs at Apple would balk at panel gaps or whatever more than you do. But Apple releasing an ICE vehicle in 2028 would not be in line with their brand and market positioning at all.

As an aside, if you'd like to see a vehicle that is both electric and superior to your Audi in terms of comfort, check out the new Rolls Royce Spectre. RR also feels that the best way for them to innovate is by electrifying their vehicles, and I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a car maker further from Tesla (in terms of ethos) than RR.

In practical terms, this really has nothing to do with the question of how transformative a tattoo is or is not as a derivative work.

The reason this hasn’t been a problem before is simply due to the nature of a tattoo - people typically only see the finished product after it was produced, long separated from the tattoo artist that inked it. Even with celebrities whose images are all over the media, a rights holder isn’t going to go track down Vin Diesel‘s tattoo artist to demand compensation.

There have been high profile tattoo artists, of course, but one assumes they have been aware of their visibility and thus by and large steered clear of exactly what Kat von D just stepped into.

I take your point. Commercial real estate companies can abuse their market position too!

But Apple's (duopoly level) gatekeeper status on global/mobile applications, services, information and transactions is allowing them to hold back an enormous amount of latent innovation.

Shelf space is important and necessary for many businesses, but that isn't where tomorrow's world is being crafted.

More broadly, I think the problem with age discrimination is a problem with engineers that have 30 years of experience doing unimpressive things. For an IC code monkey I would definitely prefer someone younger with a lot of energy and potential to grow.

Not saying that I think age discrimination is okay, but that's too the reality of how people feel.
He would have more success, and I bet he plans to negotiate back down to, simply setting a governor limit of 85 miles per hour for all cars sold in the state. It won’t stop residential harm, but it’ll stop the people weaving highway traffic at 90+ mph, and that’s a useful step to take.

Ethernet as used in almost every facility has not practically been a shared-medium protocol for decades. The citation of "token ring" sort of dates your notion of "Ethernet."

The Ethernet spec is over 5,200 pages, including the old multi-drop buses, but the parts of the standard that specify the physical layer and actually get used, including 10/100/1GBASE-T and the fiber Ethernets, cannot support more than one endpoint on a wire.
>in order to be competitive

Businesses should exist in malls to make a profit not to "be competitive". If it isn't profitable or the return on investment isn't worth it then they should not exist at that mall. It's the mall's fault if they charge too much and start to lose businesses to other malls and in turn lose visitors who would rather visit other malls.
It seems like most Americans genuinely believe they have not only a right to break the law when it comes to speed limits, but an obligation to speed. Or at least they drive like it. "I'm following the flow of traffic" as if other people breaking the law makes it OK? They feel like they have to race other cars on the road.

I had several completely "straight edge" friends who were obsessed with morality and would never break any law. Except get in a car with them and they go 10-15 mph over, but obsessively look for cops. If they see one, they go 5-10 mph under the limit. If they get a ticket, to them it wasn't like they did something wrong, they just had bad luck. I like to go the speed limit in the second from the right hand lane, often behind a large 18 wheel truck, put it in cruise control, and mostly watch the cars fly by me. This idea was unthinkable to them, even when they were not in a rush.
No, reinstalls and updates don’t get counted. This is in the linked page: “each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold”.

This applies only to iOS Apps. iPad OS and Watch OS isn’t (yet) covered by this Core Technology Fee.

I strongly suggest actually reading the linked page. Most of what you’re saying is clearly and obviously wrong, had you read the page.
fwiw, I know it's the right thing to run tests from a different computer. But it's more annoying. And I hereby tell you that 90% of the time it probably doesn't matter.

Definitely times it isn't true. But if you're not doing a load test bc it's a pita, do it locally. Most of the time I've wanted to do this, all the action is inside the app. Just be careful to acknowledge that there could be limitations / surprises.
Also most importantly the ability for the state to declare you mentally unfit and hold you against your will.
Interesting; I've been using GraalVM to compile my Clojure JAR files for command line tools. Doing a basic Unix `time` command, the startup time for that is about 20 milliseconds, well within my tolerance threshold of a command line application.

That said, the executables for GraalVM are enormous, so I'm absolutely open to something comparable that avoids that. I'll give Babashka an install and play with it.
When I prototype RAG systems I don’t use a “vector database.” I just use a pandas dataframe and I do an apply() with a cosine distance function that is one line of code. I’ve done it with up to 1k rows and it still takes less than a second.
this is also killing one time paid apps business model - next year if those users update app you will have to pay to apple even you didn't earn any new money from those users. You would be forced to change model to subscriptions to be sure you can stay afloat.
This might help. It’s for regular people, not specifically for founders, but I believe the principles are the same.

> To make this happen, Apple would need to do some work, aka actually compete in the market! They would need to run an advertising campaign about the value of app store curation. They would need to improve search and discoverability, such as by not auctioning off the top search result spot. They might need to take a lower percentage of app revenue.

Apple already does that marketing. It’s why I bought an iPhone rather than an android phone. Apple doesn’t have a lockdown on the smart phone market. They don’t even have a majority of it, I choose an iPhone because I don’t want to deal with my phone like a Linux box.

Yes, Apple has a monopoly on iPhones. But making the iPhone suck as much as other phones doesn’t seem like it will correct that monopoly.
EU apps are apps sold in the EU by EU developers.

The motivation seems to be to make it less appealing to the vast majority of developers :-)

Apple’s App Store has more choice, quality, and innovation than Android does; yeah, there are other factors at play there—but it’s a bit brash to accuse people of understanding nothing when, in the case of mobile app stores, you’re arguing from imaginary evidence.
So you're ridiculing somebody who's done the work, on the basis that you might like to attempt to solve the problem from a position of idealism?
Yes, but this can already happen for an app in the App Store.
I’m sure it has occurred to you to try CPAP; was it ruled out by your pulmonologist? If the pressure is incorrect enough to wake you up gasping, “it ain’t workin’”.
As a CPAP user, being able to access the hidden control menu for my device was key: it allowed me to change the pressure, the ramp, and other runtime configuration that really improved my experience - which improved my compliance and thus my energy level (and that small thing of not being at risk of sleep-death!). You have to press a certain combo of buttons to access, maybe your APAP has something similar?

It can be incredibly hard to get a diagnosis. Even when you are shown to have it, you can find out that insurance uses an entirely different metric and, therefore, will refuse to pay. I don't get any sleep as a result and there's not a thing I can do from what it seems.
Oh, I’m not a blind supporter of Apple. They absolutely could be much less arrogant and handle this and many other things much better.

However, the entitlement that is pervasive here that whatever Apple does is bad and it’s ok to expect them to give their work and infrastructure away for free is just crazy.

If we’re arguing about the value that developers get for what they pay, or if Apple is stifling innovation, or even if Apple is being maliciously compliant, then that’s a different conversation. I’m much more sympathetic to that.

But this is about people demanding Apple give their IP away from free so that they can make money from that expensive to make and operate infrastructure is ridiculous
MIT press release = BULLSHIT
My fancy inputs are all on a Windows box, on Linux I'm using an XSX controller, though I've just started trying to change that. We'll see how it goes! Tried my CH Pro Pedals but they weren't working due to an SDL issue that should be fixed in 2.30.0. Tried plugging some VKB gear in but not all the controls were recognized, so I just got another USB controller to install in it so I'm not daisy-chaining the VKB modules anymore. Just received a Grassmonkey head tracker, but haven't had time to try it yet.

Not sure if you're running flatpak Steam but I hear controller recognition works better with standard Steam.

Other than the control contretemps, it's been a good experience absent the occasional Proton breakage. I stick to Experimental, FWIW.
You can't insure against losing someone important in the early days of a startup. You lose the context and knowledge invested into the person, and replacing them will take time, which is even more valuable for a startup. Sure, things don't matter at a megacorp that has enough of a buffer to weather these leaves, but I'm sympathetic to startups that don't want to hire women. I don't know what the solution is, but it can't involve maternity leave. Maybe the state should provide free daycare so that the women can get right back to work.

Age discrimination is real, and impossible to prove. Unless there is a push like the diversity one we have now, it will remain that way. And it will affect all of us eventually (race and gender neutral), we all need to earn our FU money before 50 or else.

This is from 2013, so the bet that "nobody will want to read [PDFs] in 5 years" can be considered failed. If anything, PDF has become the lingua franca of the academic web, crowding out even DjVU at the thing that DjVU was made for and PDF was not.

I have not been following the development of mathjax, pandoc, etc. carefully, so I'm wondering: Have the main issues been solved? By these I mean

(1) support for most popular packages,

(2) automatically breaking long outputs into small pages that don't overheat my laptop or crash my browser and yet reference each other properly,

(3) printability (without lines broken in half, senseless overflows and the likes) or cross-compilability with a regular PDF compiler?

I know the ar5iv project is getting closer and closer to (1) and (3), but is that available to regular users?

That's a clear example of a bad technical control, whose fix can still be implemented in iOS without the App Store. It's pretty trivial to add a feature to iOS that allows you to fake your location - there was an Android fork that had that feature for a while a few years ago.

> You can deny the permission all you want but that won’t stop them blocking features unless you tick the box

Many permissions (camera, mic, location, etc.) are trivial for the OS to spoof and don't require app store vetting.
