I don’t play it! I refunded Jedi Fallen Order for this reason. The plot was so boring but the game seemed not to know it. At this point I just don’t play too many AAA games so it’s not a big problem for me.
So don't install the app. Simple as that, if the developer wanted you to be a user of their app, they'd have put it on the App Store too.

England does have a pleasant climate, rather conducive to human life, both globally and especially among its peer latitude locations. Is your quip that it's dreary and rainy often?
Whataboutism doesn't change that Spotify is right in this instance.
It also needs to be sufficiently low-latency in its reactions to your change in speed. That’s not an issue when you’re walking or running outside. I think the need to maintain a very consistent speed is one of the difficulties in using a treadmill for the first time.

If that was really Apples only concern too then they'd separate the bubbles color from having both security and non-security indications (and probably publish a library, or at least not take down any reverse engineering attempt, so the e2e can be maintained fully instead of relayed). They don't because security is just a convenient pitch for why things have to be this way when the bubble is overloaded and nobody else can connect to the servers without getting banned.
The belief that “the other” is fundamentally unreasonable can be used to justify arbitrary amounts of violence. Lets not forget that Hamas is pretty unpopular in Gaza and that most people just want to live their lives and not see their children get blown up. This is not my biased western perspective.

That is unfortunate. The spec is pretty clear, but I keep hoping someone will point out that some brokers make that guarantee regardless of it being absent in the spec. Instead it just feels like everyone just ignores that much usage is subtly incorrect, and it's fine in practice.

I do understand the ability implied by the lack of guarantee, it just seems entirely unnecessary, especially for home automation. Sharding in general only seems useful for surveillance companies in the business of massively centralizing computing infrastructure to begin with. And furthermore with MQTT it seems similar scalability could be achieved by scaling out across clients rather than across topics. There is little need to disaggregate if you don't aggregate in the first place!
I guess that's a case of the EU's regulation having negative effects on security, then!

However, this doesn't have any bearing on the argument that user freedom doesn't significantly compromise security - this just shows that the EU made a bad law.

Why is this hard? Onetime pad encrypted communications from spymasters to spys. Tune in with a radio from anywhere in the world. Hear your keyword and follow the instructions you memorized before leaving home. No equipment to be caught with, no return communication to be intercepted.
But in reality capitalism does coexist alongside other value systems, no?

Purdue Pharma (opiates) is a good example of a company following its incentives that eventually was brought down for violating broader common sense values.

The values Apple are violating come close to being just as widely held ("something I buy should be mine") though perhaps you need some expertise or professional experience with tech to see the violation clearly enough to be as horrified.

Still, values held within communities of experts (like this one) can also have the power to correct incentive-chasing behavior when it runs amok, if only because sufficient misbehavior can make it harder to hire and retain the best experts. So it's wonderful this conversation is happening here!
This is cool, but it'd be nice if they had evaluated Apple Watch, which is far more common than the devices they measured for. I've been tracking sleep for years with mine. My sense is that it's pretty accurate, but the problem is, I'm asleep during the time in which I could attempt to verify this! ;)
> You may be surprised to learn that the overwhelming majority of people, and thus the overwhelming majority of Apple customers, have precisely zero interest in any of these things.

Why would you think someone who knows about the (evidently) minutae of what Android advantages over Apple are would be surprised at that?
> It’s a lot harder to turn musical talent, productivity (writing & performing songs), and popularity into money than it used to be.

Nonsense. It's never been easier, and the change is so dramatic that it's an entirely different world than it used to be.

Anyone at all, alone, with no agent, label, production team, or any support whatsoever, can create and publish music and videos, for free, upload them to free hosting services, where they will live indefinitely and be available to a global audience on-demand. And if they're even a little popular, they can get paid. If they're really popular, they can get paid a lot.

Exactly when and how was it ever easier than this? Before, you needed an army of people and companies on your side, and had to be exceedingly popular to stand any chance of earning a penny. There were dozens of gatekeepers between artists and the fame and fortune they sought.
Why would you add the lost life expectancy to the length of the trip? That doesn’t make any mathematical sense to me.

Edit (this might be wrong, see Edit 2 below -- I'm leaving this as is because otherwise, some of the responses don't make sense):

I noticed that the calculation is wrong even within the article's own logic. Supposedly, this calculates "the expected length of the trip (including dead time) at different speeds", and does so by adding the expected loss of lifetime to the total trip length.

However, you're surely not always going to die exactly at the end of the trip. In fact, you can be expected to die at the half-way point on average, meaning this "total time" in case of death is only half the trip length plus the loss of life expectancy. If you plug this into the equation, the speed that minimizes the travel time dramatically shifts to around 100 mph.

And more absurdly, near the end of your life, when your mathematical life expectancy might be measured in hours, it's "faster" according to this logic to just kill yourself and get it over with than to undertake any long trips at all. I wouldn't recommend following this line of reasoning.

Edit 2: The above line of reasoning might be wrong, I think I made an error and the calculation is correct within the article's premises. In that case, I take that part back. I still don't agree that adding loss of life expectancy to travel time is a reasonable way to look at things.
Captcha minigames are incredibly inaccessible, though. And the services that operate them probably cost money and can do third-party tracking, so I can understand deciding to DIY an email-based gate instead.
Easier to write maybe (when I take notes just for myself I use a messy mix of cursive and print that no one else could read) but I think it's harder to read, especially for wide audience.

Depends on what you optimize for I suppose.

Yeah what a piece of shit for inventing something completely new and novel and wanting to make money off of it. He should create a bullshit AI startup instead.
I'm not moralizing anything. Calling myself a criminal for stealing is just honesty. Piracy is an especially easy and guiltless crime because it can be done with no one knowing and no chance of getting caught that's why. But almost no one is able to admit this to themselves.

Even Hitler had a rationalization for the Holocaust.

It's totally obvious piracy is theft. It doesn't matter if that product was an idea or a piece of art or something a person is not making money off of. If someone created something and they own it and you take it against his wishes you are a thief. You're the one trying to justify it with all this rationalization. But you and others are going off topic.

I'm saying your rationalization is normal. Everyone does it. My question is more why do you spend the effort to do it. Why do you lie to yourself?

Why do you have to scaffold illusions all around yourself to construct a lie that makes yourself a moral paragon. You are a human, humans are not morally perfect. It's normal to steal.

You're on HN and identities aren't really exposed so it's not some lie you're telling others. These are lies we tell ourselves.
Sure, but nobody described Finland's climate as "pleasant" either.
The Evolution of Enforcing LinkedIn's Professional Community Policies at Scale
This is exciting but incredibly niche atm. The parts it produces have to be milled and machined afterwards which in some cases could increase the manufacturing time overall. I do like their approach of keeping it hot and printing inside the sand. Much like casting. The nozzle however pushes sand all over the place and is probably pushing it into the path, causing the poorer quality prints. I spent a couple years as a young adult in a metal part manufacturing plant while going to school.

It’s exciting though because I believe we’ll have a time, not too far from now, where a design can be fed to a molten printer to print a base part, transferred to cnc mill for final refining, and then polished and painted for shipping. It won’t cost $10M to create a fabrication facility. It won’t require 25 years of industrial mechanics to build your “plant”. Just get “Bubba the Boiler” metal 3D printer, “Michael the mill” CNC miller, and the cast and crew of smaller tools to buff, polish, powder coat.

I’ll stick to wood and plastic for now. More my “level”.
You are also able to buy an android phone if you don’t want to buy an iPhone. They are also quite cheaper, so I don’t get what the problem is.

I initially wrote cursive, then turned to block letters

hard to read, especially if light strokes are used,

Nine months of winter followed by three months of bad weather
It's maybe the least surprising thing in the world that Gruber thinks that Apple's execs are these galaxy brain strategists who have completed a total end-run around the dullard EC bureaucrats.

Sure, the DMA doesn't specifically forbid a platform-holder for charging a license fee. That's unlikely to be because the people drafting the regulation were idiots who couldn't think of the concept of license fees.

The gatekeepers must allow alternative distribution channels to compete on price, and as per section 39 anything that's functionally equivalent to preventing price competition ("such as increased commission rates") is forbidden. And that's what Apple are doing here: they're giving the developers staying on the App Store preferential terms. Section 62 reiterates specifically on the context of app stores that "gatekeepers should not be allowed to impose general conditions, including pricing conditions, that would be unfair or lead to unjustified differentiation".

Whether they're calling it a license fee or something else doesn't matter, as longs as the terms are discriminatory. And in this case it's pretty clear that both the pricing terms (the Core Tech Fee) and non-pricing terms (the irrevocable all or nothing nature of the choice) are discriminatory.

Smaller / medium bands have it rough compared to, say, the 2000s.

Music isn’t just hit-driven. There used to be more house bands, more bands who could make a living from tours, that sort of thing. These days, musicians try to find an audience on Spotify and social media and make money doing performances, selling merch, and going on tour, but the amount of revenue you make from that kind of work is a lot less.
It’s a treadmill that attaches to a phone you can strap to your face. Neat, I guess.

The (Almost) Secret Algorithm Researchers Used to Break RSA Keys
Thanks for these insights, Ron. Indeed, it’s mostly due to the dependencies that it’s not always simple to upgrade. Some Gradle plugins must also be updated. Code generators are rather fragile and some of them bluntly violate javac constraints but have been pulled as dependencies rather widely nonetheless. Yes, from the JDK vendor perspective on backwards compatibility and lifecycle support extensions, OpenJDK’s and Oracle’s track record is stellar, that's been my honest opinion throughout.

Beyond JDK though, the community has been trying to move forward in ways inconsistent with the backward compatibility for projects with dependencies such as those that you describe. This is what's causing most of the hesitation, exacerbated by the modality that there's little clarity on how to replace or upgrade such shenanigans.

From your comments, it turns out I’m quite unaware of the details of the transition to the encapsulation of the internals. I recall you mentioning that some time ago too. I’d appreciate a pointer to some overview, I feel like I’m going to need one before making a dive into the rabbit hole.
Agreed, risk of injury does not factor into how long the trip would take given faster speeds. This article is an exercise in narrative nonsense.
This seems ordinary and fine practice to me. You can’t expect to get a response to every hiring email, even from a YC firm and even if they reach out to you first.
These numbers poke only a narrow solution. The optimal fastest way is to have the destination speed to you.

So app developers and other creators on Apple's platform earn nothing? Odd that they continue to work there, then.
> I get how a power-user like myself might struggle to switch (if anything goes wrong with the Linux box, it will be dear husband who has to deal with it!), but what's wrong with Linux for a super-casual user who basically just needs a browser?

Pretty much this.

I originally installed Ubuntu for my parents when I first got them a computer separate from mine. All they needed were things like the browser, preconfigured email, instant messaging, possibly a word processor, and a way to look at their photos. They didn't need to know how to configure or install anything new. As a bit of a caveat, I think I always did the importing of photos from their camera for them. But I don't think the difficulty of that is necessarily very OS-dependent.

I later switched them over to Windows at my father's request when replacing the (by then) ancient hardware with a new laptop that had Windows preinstalled. But I don't think it really made any difference because they still didn't do anything requiring more than opening existing apps.

But if you're used to knowing how to install new stuff and how to configure things to your liking, yet don't want to learn how to do those things on Linux for the sake of it, I can imagine it being hard.

With that said, of course a different desktop can also be and look unfamiliar even if there's little practical difference. And for some people near-exact familiarity can be rather important.
Sorry, I replied to the wrong comment
Grid operators need some power intensive process on the demand side that they can switch on in the middle of the day and switch off at night. Something they can switch on only when needed and ramp up quickly.

That or energy storage.

There is no non-"conspiracy theory" option anymore. Either the aliens are real in some manner and there has been a massive cover-up conspiracy, or they are not, and there has been a pretty significant conspiracy to fake evidence and support for aliens existing. Either way, there is no "everyone's generally nice and is just trying to tell the public the truth and nobody would ever dream of deploying deception as a part of their strategy" that the non-conspiracy theory option seems to entail. A lot of people are lying and at least some of them absolutely know they are.

The essential question is, always, why? Why are they doing it?

Obviously, many people participate in the movement to create chaos and a sense of powerlessness through disinformation (the true aim of propaganda), so people don't know what to believe and quit. The Republican Party engages in a lot of it, I assume tactically - always stay on the offensive, keep the enemy reacting, etc. But what about the others? Are they organized? Are they sort-of lone wolves (or small packs) acting on the ideology they learned online?

And I think it's been highly effective: I think that two decades ago, taking it seriously would have discredited you for life. Now that we've destroyed institutions and values like science, evidence and rationality, and embraced post-truth, it's within the norm, even encouraged.

And almost nobody speaks up for science, evidence, truth. Nobody says it's ridiculous nonsense (for so many reasons); everyone just stands back, reinforcing the sense of chaos and powerlessness. Where are the adults?

> Mute most of the Slack channels you feel obligated to join. Why companies and even individual employees believe that more channels is better, I have no clue. Complete waste of time.

I hate being in hundreds of channels but it's the way people found to segment long discussions or projects. I've heard tools like Zulip have better ways to organize this but I haven't tried them extensively (and I doubt I could convince the whole company to switch).

I think this is on Slack, tbh.
It may be a good idea to leverage GPT these days. I asked Microsoft copilot to create a Python sketch of a simple Tetris Game and it spit it right out.
I'm not suggesting you just leave it to GPT to write your code but there's no harm in having it build an example that you can then use as a framework.

We are both looking from the outside in, we can't know what is going through someones minds, what is happening to them in their situation.

To enforce social and moral norms on something we can't fully understand is questionable. Judging others is all about enforcing societal-defined morals onto others.

You choose to enfore those morals, I choose to reserve judgement.
The email contents are exactly the same, except for the usernames which are parsed from the comment thread. My problem isn't with not getting a response, my problem is that they sent the same email to everybody while writing it to sound personal with phrases such as "Saw your profile on HN and we think your skills look like a good fit for our team - wondered if you'd be interested in our YC company" and "I think you'd find our job description interesting, can I tempt you to take a look? :)".

If it was written to be less personal to make it clear that it's sent in mass then that'd be okay.
