The fact that Apple (the 3rd party in the interaction between you and the developer) has a say at all in what people do with their computers at all is already egregious. I couldn't imagine letting someone else control my computers like that.
The exact number of landlords doesn't quite matter here, as long as enough of them are using the algorithm.

One of the cases specifically being looked at in this investigation is Washington D.C. Google tells me that around 60% of rentals in D.C. are in large apartment buildings, but that's just a quick search so take that with a grain of salt. ProPublica says that 90% of these apartments are using the software. If we accept these numbers are close, and knowing that 90% of buildings doesn't necessarily mean 90% of all apartments, we can guess that means somewhere around 50% of all rental properties in D.C. are priced using this software. The number might be higher, since I don't know if any non-apartment buildings are using this software, or it might be lower if the data is inaccurate.

So yes, the remaining 50% of the market could undercut the 50% using the software. However, it's still possible for 50% to have an effect on the housing market. This is because the housing market is generally considered to be inelastic and because it is difficult to increase supply quickly.

Compare it to, for example, soda, which is an elastic market with a lot of production. If Coke and Pepsi lost their minds and started charging $100 for an 8 oz can, they're creating a lot of potential for other companies to undercut them at, say $2 a can. As long as $2/can is profitable, they can win Coke and Pepsi's market from them overnight.

If 50% of rental properties started renting for $1 million/week, obviously, very few people can afford that, and I doubt anyone would pay it. But what could the other 50% of the market do? They could keep their rates lower, but all the rentals will fill up. Again, numbers are hard to find, but vacancies in D.C. are probably around 6%, so prospective renters will play musical chairs for the 50% of rental properties that have more reasonable rents. There's a potential here for companies to build new properties and undercut the 50%, but building is lengthy, expensive, requires permitting, etc. The market can't respond very quickly, and because new construction tends to be expensive, rents from new buildings tend to be higher.
> But is anyone prohibited from going out and buying an Android?

Yes, through social pressure.
One possibility is that some homeless may move to the city in hopes of either finding work or catching a break to get out of the homelessness.

We see that a lot in Seattle, that people who became homeless out in Enumclaw or Goldbar or wherever slowly get drawn towards the city because the systems that support the homeless are there, whether it be infrastructure that can be used for shelter or soup kitchens or day labor or even just a good corner to beg from.

Its not the only source of the homeless by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a source.
its not just sugar. its the mixture of sugar and fat and other things that make food items more likely to cause over-eating. its called palatability. Theres a huge difference between chocolate, or ice cream, and chowing down on spoonfuls of pure sugar.
Call it malice or ignorance, it is hard to tell. I have personally visited someone who did not get insulin for a whole night in jail, ended up with extremly high blood sugar (DKA) (s)he had to be hospitilized for three days. There were no penalties for the officers.

Basically someone with diabetes can seem to be a very unhealthy and drunk person, and people do not tend to take these people serisouly.
Focus on not slaughtering their golden goose. Public companies absolutely do not need to grow revenue and many industries remain in states of decline for decades. However, lack of growth means the stock option party is over for employees.
My father worked on a multi year project to replace their darling (but very old mainframe system) with SAP. Apparently it's just awful and basically everything required a custom and tons of SAP consultants. By the time you're done, you had to reimplement the entire system on top of SAP with a ton of workarounds. That was his experience anyway.
I have googled, but at the moment have only this (will add more later):

Dunno why you are being downvoted. Regardless of what one thinks of Apple charging 30% tax on their dominion, the fact that it's now become a sort of dependency is correct.

Governments have the same problem. Once you start taxing, it becomes hard to give up the revenue stream.
Eh, maybe, but the bulk of the applicator is just empty plastic molded to fit an adult's hand. I have to believe they could figure something less wasteful out (reusable applicator?) if they wanted or needed to. Regardless, it was just another downside for me weighed against the relatively few upsides that made me quit using it. It felt terrible to chuck all that in the trash, especially when I'd have to do it two days in a row because a sensor failed.

Pro tip: don't use chrome extensions. They are a trivial and huge security risk. Similar how random exe was some years ago, only much worse. Use tampermonkey scripts instead.

Tampermonkey scripts are

- open source and easily modifiable
- permissions are firmly controlled
- you can disable auto update
Out of curiosity, does anyone out there use tailwindcss with htmx (or other hateoas approach)? You obviously don’t want to have your hypertext representative of application state to have anything to do with styling, but something like tailwind can be odds with that. Cascading style sheets and hateoas obviously go together perfectly, as it’s markup and styling decoupled as god intended, but with something like tailwindcss, what are people doing?
This is not peer reviewed research and has some serious issues: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37051450
I think you're confused how this works.

Apple doesn't need a court judgement to terminate a contract. They can just do it if they believe terms have been broken. Epic sued them in the US to reverse this decision and the courts found in favour of Apple. The process in the EU starts the same way.

And this is a basic contractual dispute seperate from the DMA which is why the many other parties have not also had their contracts terminated.

Also running an App Store is hard. It's going to take more than a few days to see competitors.
Might be possible for browsers to recognize words that look like links to get around that.
That's a bad explanation because it relies on an assumption about how the press in Palestine are operating on the ground and I'm guessing no one on hackernews actually has that info.

We don't know that reporters are rushing into danger or hanging out where the danger is going to be.

In fact, a lot of the "reporters" who we've been watching were never war reporters to begin with. Motaz, for instance was an aspiring travel photographer. Bisan was a filmmaker. Wael was the cheif of Al-Jazera in Gaza.

They're (most likely) not seeking out death and war, they're just reporting on the condition of their city, of their people.

It also ignores 75 years of history. CPJ stated this was the deadliest conflict for journalists in the past 30 years. Reporters Without Borders has accused Israel of intentionally targeting journalists. Human Rights Watch signed a letter stating the US needed to put pressure on Israel to stop killing journalists. Amnesty international says Israel must be investigated for the war crime of killing journalists.
This would likely be against the Chrome Web Store terms of service.

I'd really love to be able to do that (experimenting) but i'm in the EU and haven't looked at the possibilities yet (i'm not diabetic).

However i recently saw a video of a woman that carried a glucose monitor (even if she didn't need one) as part of a study (she volunteered) and was able to correlate her mood and her weight take/loss with sugar intake.

I'm very curious about this. I've started a diet recently and after quitting many sources of sugar completely I'm very surprised how long i can go without eating and how little calories per day i can consume (well, as long as i have fat to burn at least).

If anybody wants to chime in and suggest a glucose monitor that i can get without prescription in EU (Italy) and from which i can pull off data, please do.
...or updated to do so.
Software as a Medical Device has been a regulated "thing" for years now, and in this case the Abbott Freestyle app is a mandatory requirement for the CGM To function. If the app can't connect to the CGM, the thing will make your phone beep incessantly. Similarly, if your blood glucose levels exceed "safe" thresholds, it will alert at full volume in a way you are not allowed to override. Frankly, this is as it should be, but it does indeed convolute things when the device interface (phone) is used for so much more, too.

> the better part of a week.

People do that because it takes 15 hours to travel. 100 years before people will go visit say family for few weeks or even months because travel was slow, now we fly for thanksgiving and back at work the following week. Travel behavior changes depending on the mode of transport and cost of it.

> incrementally faster trip

it is not incremental, we are not shaving couple of hours, it is radically faster trip, 15hr -> 1 hr is a huge difference.

> prefer routinely flying first class in a 747 vs. taking the Concorde

Concorde was quite popular for that one route though, that was not enough to save it.

The challenge then was not there were not other economically viable routes - there were, it was just that nobody was allowing supersonic flight over land, for example San Fransisco -> New York route would have been very successful.

With 2.5 hour on a Concorde a flight you can work (i.e. do meetings) in both cities (esp NY->SF) on the same day. It is a 5 hour flight now you can really work in one city the day you are traveling.
Is the FDA capturing any of that markup somehow? I fail to see how it would impact their decision process on approving if it had no impact on their incentives.
Calibrating my scales and thermometers would be nice. What procedure do you use for it? is it documented online anywhere?
+1 +1 +1 to Peter Attia, huge amounts of great content. My philosophy is that if there's any single topic where I should be spending five hours a month researching, it's personal health.

As far as spikes are concerned, I convinced my wife and my dad to both try out the same CGM. Neither of them really ever had any spikes of significance (maybe up to 130's), even when eating cake, etc. Obviously it varies from person to person, but the fact I would spike easily above 140 with boring foods (steel cut oats with no sweetener as an example) said to me something was wrong. My daily averages hovering around 100 to 105 were not in the pre-diabetes level but were close to it, even when eating minimal carbs and being extremely fit with a natural healthy diet. Also most of what you read out there with CGMs is related to people who actually have diabetes.

Finally, there's no one really to talk to about this stuff. You can eclipse your doctor's knowledge on the topic with about 5-10 hours of research. You can go get a broad set of labs and be right at the edge of the reference range on something (which is, depending on the lab, just a range of the general population, not a healthy range) and your doctor will shrug it off. The system is setup so that as long as you are in a sort of average, even with that average being pretty bad (half of the country is fat and pre-diabetic), the standard of care is to ignore it until you fall off the end. The line between hypochondria and being on top of your health is pretty thin, and most doctors will consider you a hypochondriac if you research and come ready to talk about the topic with any level of knowledge.

Then Apple would simply say they are not blocking third party software from their hardware (iPhones), they are just blocking it from running on their software (iOS).

Making a law is inherently a messy job, if you think you can replace a 100 page document with 100 words, there's a good chance you are overlooking a lot of complexity.
The arbitrary limitations on computers that are obviously general purpose is more clear than the arbitrary limitations on general purpose computers that are marketed as special purpose computers (gaming machines). In reality they're all equally bad.
> Calling them a bad actor is ridiculous.

This is an absurd take. They very deliberately and publicly breached their agreement with apple, sued them when they got kicked out for it, and lost.

If that isn’t a textbook description of a bad actor then what the hell _would_ count for you?
If I had a Customer that spent years relentlessly complaining about my Company, I know I wouldn't want to have them as a Customer.

Epic aren't a customer. They're a supplier. They provide Apple with software that Apple's customers buy.

Apple are denying their customers, iPhone users, the option to buy Epic apps through Apple's app store. You should never lose sight of who actually loses here. It's not really Apple or Epic. They're massive corporations that will continue to make billions regardless. The loser is iPhone users who want to use their devices to play a game they enjoy.
only pea brained morons (the general public when it comes to diet and exercise) actually think "exercise burns fat." everyone knows that actually exercise will increase your TDEE which when combined with calorie restriction will force your body to use fat reserves to maintain itself.
More acquisitions? Why? They're already a $3 trillion company. As parent comments say, they have saturated the market, maxed out the app store at the expense of good will, and are engaged in a duopoly spiral with Alphabet. How long will "number go up"? Until the planet is piled up to space in paperclips?
Nice pw bro, mind if I use it? Looks pretty secure
In the U.S., until this one, you needed a prescription to buy one. Many countries allow them to be purchased without.
In the loop community (CGM+insuling pump) you usually have a list of phones that work well with Bluetooth. Yes that changes when the phones get new powersaving settings and driver updates, usually it works well on good phones.
Depends if you're masochist enough to run Samba. It can deal with the lower stack side pretty well, but the administration UI options available all pale in comparison to native Microsoft.

In any case many are shifting towards not running AD any more and instead use JAMF and similar solutions. Less attack risk (because let's face it, it's really really easy to shoot yourself into the foot with AD), and more buzzwords for the buzzword-happy C suite.
NTSB: Boeing not cooperating on investigation into Alaska midair blowout
I love this essay so much. I read it 22 years ago and it's been stuck in my mind ever since: it taught me that any time you take on a new abstraction that you don't understand, you're effectively taking on mental debt that is likely to come due at some point in the future.

This has made me quite a bit more cautious about the abstractions I take on: I don't have to understand them fully when I start using them, but I do need to feel moderately confident that I could understand them in depth if I needed to.

And now I'm working with LLMs, the most opaque abstraction of them all!

I've never heard of Kyun so I go to their site. It's a very good looking site but the anime girls, minecraft font, and nba youngboy references in their blog posts are just so strange.
fwiw, my wife uses Freestyle Libre 3 and the with-insurance cost every two weeks is about $40. Whenever she's had one fail (which seems to be about 1:10), Abbott has replaced it free of charge and sent a pre-paid label so she can return the failed device for QA review.
> posted a lot of criticisms of Apple

His criticisms were all about how the NeXT folks were ruining Apple with their mach-o binaries, file paths & extensions, etc. You'd have thought that Avie Tevanian ran over his dog or something.
Are you in Stockholm?
I think what Apple is doing is more similar to Nintendo I the 80s with their "seal of quality".

There where a couple of companies that circumvented their security mechanisms and went to court. Was that wrong of Nintendo?

My opinion is that, as long as people keep buying and using it, Apple can do whatever they want in their platforms.

They will change when most app devs coordinately delete their apps from the store, in a mass "strike" or when customers stop paying for their shitty phones.
The Nature of Technology is a book by complexity theorist, Brian Arthur.

In the book, Brian Arthur describes technology and how it evolves.

You might find the book interesting if;

a) You want to develop a few frameworks that will help you develop insights on how to come up with possible inventions or tech start-up ideas.

b) You are interested in how to come up with policies or strategies for corporate research departments, educational institutions, or government policies that will foster the creation of new technology.

c) You want to comprehensively understand if technological progress will slow down or speed up in the future.

In this blog post, I describe a few takeaways from the book that answer those questions and hopefully inspire you to pick it up.
I like your UX a lot more. Modeling the llm calls as actual python functions allows them to mesh well with existing code organization dev tooling. And using a decorator to "implement" a function just feels like a special kind of magic. I'd need more ability to use my own "prompt templates" to use this as a lib but I'm definitely going to try using this general pattern.
Well I appreciate that. I consider it an assumption of ulterior motives only because its sold as a consumer protection play. Basically, they're claiming specific motivations and I think there are unspoken motivations driving it instead.

Definitely mincing semantics here though, and probably giving too much leeway to those making these regulations.
They really seem to be making a mockery of the EU regs here. Will the EU respond quickly and forcefully, or (essentially) admit that Apple is too big to regulate?
> I don't know how to invigorate a culture of debate and deliberation except by normalizing it among schoolchildren.

I have heard that many children in the US are being trained as political activists, instead of being trained to think critically and speak/write articulately. Is that true?
It's sort of like the twist at the end of Soylent Green. The real twist isn't that "Soylent Green is people!" the twist is that you can see this with your own eyes, shout it in the street, but ultimately no one really cares.
I read the whole article before asking and just re-read it again. I don't see answers to either of my questions. I'm guessing from other clues in the article the answer to my second question is "no".
I don't know how to articulate the uncomfortable feeling I'd be having, about something 'inside' the database doing the download and making requests to other systems outside a boundary. It might be a security threat or just my inexperience, how common is it for postgres extensions to do this?
There are downsides to over-medicating, even if your personal budget for health is ~unlimited. Nobody wants to be a false positive.
All CGMs only work for a period of time, like a couple of weeks or so. Then you get a new one. To keep the size reasonable it can't be too big.
> moments of realization about "no shutdown" in Cisco IOS and similar environments

No, it's just a clunky way to remove the config line, it has nothing with the engineering safety.

It's still better than Huawei's lingo, though.
> hacking the main Postgres db and adding load to the primary instance

nobody said this had to be on the primary database server, and how is this hacking?

Is every app server going to have its own local "sqlite cache"? Or is it going to use one of the sqlite server/replication things? So why not just use PG?
I remember reading that, good stuff.

I'd like to see an injectable mitm like proxy that can rewrite payloads. Many of these frameworks are useful, but when they go off the rails, they hard to modify and introspect.

It would be nice if LLMs had a way to speak an annotated format, like XML that was able to encode higher level information in a coherent manner over "well formed" addhoc text.

LLM libraries are in a crazy state right now. It is like JS frameworks 2015, a new one that demos well every other day.
Well, if "the public" in any way bought into OpenAI's branding claim that they were a non-profit dedicated to making something for the public benefit, they have a right to feel betrayed

As someone who was watching the brain drain of AI researchers from academia by tech giants before OpenAI was founded, their ethos and initial actual transparency was somewhat inspiring, and the first move to lock up their new frontier model struck me as disappointing and suspicious, and then actively like a betrayal once it came out that it was an exclusive licensing deal with Microsoft.

Maybe members of the public who are less invested in AI research don't feel similarly, but a lot of laypeople seem to suddenly care about AI, including the usual giant swath of techbros that were probably previously working crypto scams becoming really cultish and smug about it, but also non-tech people I know have it on their mind a lot, which is kinda new, and most of these people view it negatively, and almost all of them care because of OpenAI. Frankly your comment makes no sense to me. What are you trying to get at here?
How the FIRST EVER TV play was made in 1930 – BBC Archive [video]
Developers aren't forced to write any apps. They write apps where the revenue makes sense.

And the revenue makes the most sense on ios for a large share of developers.

95%+ of developers don't care if Apple doesn't allow Epic on their store. That's just reality.

If my boss tells me "we're launching an ios app" I'm not going to tell him about how I disagree with Apples principles and refuse to build it.
Read up on what's normal, though.

I tried a CGM twice. I triggered the hypoglycemia (blood sugar too low) alarm multiple times, but felt completely fine.

After some research I discovered it's actually not uncommon for healthy people to have occasional dips below the preset hypoglycemia threshold, but as long as you're not having symptoms then there's no cause for concern.

I also talked to a doctor who complained that she had multiple patients showing up with concerns about their glucose numbers for various reasons after trialing CGMs, but they had similar spurious and unimportant problems (brief excursions out of range, etc.).

So if you're going to experiment, at least familiarize yourself with what's truly problematic. It's easy to misinterpret the data if you don't know what it means.
If that were the case, why wouldn't the CEO say so?
