That's not really a good framing. If we allow that the police have a legitimate function to exercise justifiable violence on behalf of the state, then the right to self defense must obviously be limited against duly authorized and duly noticed state violence. And unfortunately in your example "threatening" isn't really litigable, making the details collapse into just a duly-authorized traffic stop.

There's probably an argument to be made from a natural rights framing that the right to self defense is still applicable to unjustifiable but duly authorized state violence, like say the war on drug users. Though I don't know how this could be applied practically. Perhaps limiting the number of cops that can carry out any arrest, such that there's an actual balance of power?

Likewise HN both hates rust, and insists that we rewrite everything in rust. Viewing "the left" as a monolith is where you went wrong. Right now, "the left" includes groups willing to speak out about genocide in Palestine (that's "the left" this article is about). That group includes quite a lot of Muslims who support polygamy and don't support LGBT rights. But "the left" hates polygamy and loves LGBT rights. "The left" is also concerned about antisemitism and enjoys punching nazis. "The left" is also pacifist and doesn't think that anybody should be punching anybody. "The left" is also concerned about pollution, and doesn't like nuke power. "The left" is also concerned about global warming, and prefers nuke power. "The left" has whatever foolish combination of inconsistent beliefs you want it to, because "the left" is not one.

Be a rich country, have a 25% tax on cars, discount that to 0% for the first ~$50,000 of EVs, be small so electric infrastructure is easy. Have good public transit so if you’re poor you don’t need a car.
the engine it’s running is the safari one, chrome on iOS is just an alternative interface with different syncing semantics.

that said, this thread of reasoning has started wrong, there is no market for web browsers on iOS just like there’s no market for phone diallers on your in-car stereo system.. What you get is what you get, and that’s always been the case and Apple products are the only devices that can run Safari…

if you keep thinking of apple devices as computers instead of like consoles or appliances, then you are going to get upset.

Why does this even require an antitrust probe? Why aren't there just clear laws against this stuff that Apple would never have done this in the first place, especially in the US where Apple is based?

If I'm reading it correctly, the problem is that Apple Music and Spotify compete, but Apple Music gets preferential treatment, because:

- Apple Music allows you to subscribe from within the app, and Apple isn't taking some % cut in the App Store from its own apps

- Spotify can't afford to pay a % cut to the App Store, so not only do Spotify subscribers encounter a hurdle (can't pay from within the app), but Apple doesn't even allow Spotify to provide users with a link to pay on the website from within the app

This is quite obviously completely unfair. But it seems like there aren't really laws directly against this thing. These investigations and court cases seem to be relying on other statutes around antitrust, anticompetitive behavior, etc., that aren't always clear.

But today, app stores and platforms and marketplaces are a common thing, where Amazon sells its own products on Amazon, Apple sells is own apps on the App Store, Google lists its own websites on Search.

Why isn't there incredibly specific and detailed legislation to prevent companies from favoring their own products in stores/platforms/marketplaces specifically? Why are we relying on outdated legislation that companies think there's a good chance won't apply to them if taken to court?

In other words, why don't we have clear laws that would have prevented Apple from ever considering this self-preferential behavior in the first place? This seems like such a no-brainer for legislators. It doesn't even seem like a Republican thing or a Democrat thing where the other side would oppose it -- it just seems like a common-sense thing.
If the ISPs do their job and handle abuse emails, less people would be blocking IP ranges like this.

There's a reason in IP abuse or spam databases, certain countries light up like a christmas tree and others are not used for these purposes. If you do nothing to be a good citizen of the Internet, all the bad citizens are attracted to you as an ISP.

You shouldn't even need to email the ISP for abuse, they should just detect it themselves. But even taking actions on the emails seems too difficult for them, so I doubt we'll see anything pro-active.

IMO, any program using naive timestamps is probably doing something wrong. Same with fixed offsets (except UTC obviously).

For local time zone, how often does the local time zone change, and you want to modify all timestamps in the system? That actually seems like a huge pitfall
I would really like to see if this is a stand Apple could or would make. Apple obviously thinks it has a lot of power, but does it think it could wholesale exit a market?

Apple's introduction of alternative app market rules (and the fees they intend to charge for them) shows that Apple is willing to follow the rule, but make it painful enough that few would take that alternative. I doubt they'd leave the market entirely, but obviously they're willing to test the resolve of the EU's law and rulings.

Although I think I recall that the kernel doesn't use Rust's standard library (which is consistent with the diff you linked), it's possible that the standard library's documentation on the pointer subtraction might reference a concern they could share (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.pointer.html#method....):

> If any of the following conditions are violated, the result is Undefined Behavior:

> * Both the starting and resulting pointer must be either in bounds or one byte past the end of the same allocated object.

> * The computed offset cannot exceed isize::MAX bytes.

> * The offset being in bounds cannot rely on “wrapping around” the address space. That is, the infinite-precision sum must fit in a usize.

> Most platforms fundamentally can’t even construct such an allocation. For instance, no known 64-bit platform can ever serve a request for 263 bytes due to page-table limitations or splitting the address space. However, some 32-bit and 16-bit platforms may successfully serve a request for more than isize::MAX bytes with things like Physical Address Extension. As such, memory acquired directly from allocators or memory mapped files may be too large to handle with this function.

> Consider using wrapping_sub instead if these constraints are difficult to satisfy. The only advantage of this method is that it enables more aggressive compiler optimizations.

If their pointer subtraction uses similar semantics, there might be issues if they want to compare pointers from different allocation objects, are worried about 32-bit or 16-bit platforms, or maybe even consider the performance concerns too worrisome. The Rust I write tends to be a bit higher-level and doesn't require unsafe, so my instinctual reaction to "using unsafe for performance" generally errs on the same of abject terror, but it's a fundamental part of what makes the safe side of abstractions I use possible, and the kernel is probably one of those places that needs to do that sometimes, so I'd reluctantly have to admit I'm probably not qualified to evaluate whether these cases would merit unsafety for performance alone, but the first two concerns sound like legitimate things that the kernel would need to handle.
Ah, so not just small population.
The government can both subsidize development with low construction loan rates and disincentivize owners from flipping homes for quick profits. There are places where capital gains rates on home sales are onerous if sold before ten years. Both can be true at the same time. The likely oversupply of homes in this scenario is what most people would reject.

That's not actually true. Every business is competitive, but not every business engages in anti-competitive behavior.
It has to be mentioned that Norway spends most of it's petromoney on the Pension Fund. We've got a rule that the government at most can touch 4% of that for whatever they want to do - but they keep it around 2-3% .

My wishlist would include gradually refactoring core in Rust and formal verification a-la seL4 to prove correctness. There's no point to refactor churn from one language religion to another for low entropy, core code without improvements in assurance that it's also provably bug-free, race-free, and secure while also being as fast or possibly faster.

well if you think that you are a proud US citizen who somehow has Apple/Google, I think they actually pay their taxes in Ireland?

"When a customer buys an Apple product outside the United States, the profit is first taxed in the country where the sale takes place. Then Apple pays taxes to Ireland, where Apple sales and distribution activity is executed by some of the 6,000 employees working there. Additional tax is then also due in the US when the earnings are repatriated."

Hence, this is what I meant by choosing the least charitable interpretation. At least read through the thread to get the context and try to imagine different positions. Usually, people are trying to contribute to a conversation, even if they communicate it badly. If that's too much, get used to nobody caring about what you think or arguing until they get bored. It's certainly boring to talk to a wall.

Notice, it's a very common occurrence. People note that something posted is inaccurate, in their own personal interpretation. It's usually not directed at them, but there's a need to correct the posted because of their personal interpretation (re: xkcd Duty Calls). This is not to say, I've never been guilty of this (maybe this post is a great example). Sometimes I want to argue. Sometimes I want to explore my own beliefs, given another person's position, and get it recorded somewhere. That being said, I can recognize that it's not constructive for the conversation at hand and I'm trying to do better, while still growing my own understanding.
It seems that you're very confused. The OP claimed, mistakenly, that Microsoft won the case. They did not. When two parties settle a case, there is no winner or loser, and the case isn't decided by a judge or jury.

The DoJ and Microsoft settled the case. There was no winner or loser. If Microsoft had won the case, then the notion of settlement doesn't even make sense. And depending on the law and jurisdiction, legal fees can be awarded to the winner of a case. But with a settlement, one party doesn't usually pay the other party's legal expenses as a stipulation; that would be weird. So I really don't know what in the world you're talking about, and maybe you don't either.

The question here is a simple factual one: Did Microsoft win the case? No, they did not. The OP's assertion was wrong. You seem to be contemplating a different question, namely, does it make sense for parties to settle before going to judgement, which is why you think the answer is "extremely obvious". And of course it makes sense to settle, which is precisely what Microsoft and the DoJ did. They settled. Microsoft did not win. When you win, you don't settle. And the issue of legal expenses is irrelevant to the question of whether Microsoft won or not.

I too want to see housing prices come down, but I think the only "safe" way to do it is to keep interest rates high. Setting aside recessions (and their undesirable/punitive effects), housing affordability seems to be inversely related to credit availability. I think this is explained primarily through two mechanisms:

1. compounding interest drastically penalizes higher principal amounts

2. at lower interest rates, debt is more advantageous than savings

I'd argue that interest rates still aren't high enough yet, and they will need to stay high for a decade or more, in order for these mechanisms to really manifest virtuously. We had a great opportunity during the pandemic, when people weren't spending much, they were saving a lot, and they became more focused on taking care of themselves and considering their choices. Sadly, post-pandemic, we went on a ZIRP spree to try to "get the economy back on track" which did employ a bunch of people (for a little while anyway) but put us fiscally in a position even worse than before the pandemic.

Went to the beach a while back and saw a family out on towels with kids. For the hour I was there, it was the two parents out frolicking in the waves as the 10? and 14?yr old spent the entire time on their phones, although they occasionally apparently commiserated with each other by showing a picture/video (of their parents doing something embarrassing?).

Really, it wasn't that shocking. It's not like everyone loves going to the beach. Nobody was upset, just bored. But, it seemed the exact opposite of the age dynamic I expected. It could have just as easily been reversed, but I would have stil lbeen just a little sad.

At the time (1995) this came out, people were worried about "piracy" on newgroups and murder for hire through pseudonymous accounts. Instead we got DMCA takedown fraud and SWATting.
