This is maybe the first interesting/novel point I've read on this topic. (this Apple debate has mostly been beat to death and the whole thread here looks to be full of the same talking-point style arguments repeated ad nauseum by people on both sides who don't seem to be engaging any critical thinking).

I think Apple is clearly anti-competitive and is definitely powerful enough to warrant regulatory action given past standards, but the same exclusivity deals like consoles (and even audiobooks) have is certainly not a common thing (outside of Apple's first-party apps of course, but I would agree that isn't really what we're talking about here). I think this deserves some explanation, as it does seem like an obvious anti-competitive move that Apple could make but doesn't.

I tend to think Occam's Razor applied here is that Apple realizes their vulnerability to regulation and didn't wish to serve their critics evidence on a silver platter. I think that's why they announced that they will (finally) add (an inferior implementation of) RCS to the iPhone after many years of refusing and telling people to buy their mom an iPhone if they want to text her. Or the (inferior) implementation of PWAs. This is very much speculation of course, and I'd love to hear other theories.
It seems like you are way too invested in this and unable to think clearly. I'm sorry if it has affected you negatively, it is a terrible situation for everybody except the elites.

However, blame is never black or white. It cannot be all Russia's fault.
Meanwhile those monopolies can be good for the employees that work there, they are terrible for the rest of the Americans that don't, and they make up the majority of Americans.

I hope that, in the end, America sees that it is feeding those monopolies itself and even considers joining the European Union in believing that regulations are important.

When people come and say that regulations have an impact on innovation, I point out the fact that the object in question isn't that innovative. What is so innovative about the iPhone? They just made really good choices and got the rewards from consumers, on making it perhaps the biggest brand in the world.

But just by doing great products don't give you the right to go against the interests of your own customers or developers that helped you build that platform.

I'm sure by the end of this arc of those platforms that behave more monopolies, governments will realize that by regulating this space, it creates much more economic activity, jobs, and, of course, more space for innovation.

Rights are things that you cannot choose to give up. You explicitly cannot trade them away since the poorest people would be forced to do that in order to afford anything.

I assert that I have rights under the first sale doctrine which let me do whatever I want with the things I own. Apple has no more of a right to dictate what I put on my device than Walmart has a right to dictate when I put on my table simply because they sold it to me.

> my own example is the default home page for Canada. It's now exclusively sports and right-wing nuttery.

Can you give some concrete examples of this "right-wing nuttery" you mention?

I've heard other people in Canada make this claim, but whenever I visit the Reddit home page (without logging in; I don't have a Reddit account), I consistently see the opposite.

Right now, for example, two of the top five submissions I see are CBC and Toronto Star articles complaining about Ontario's Conservative government's policies. (For those who are unfamiliar with them, CBC and the Toronto Star are among the most left wing of Canada's mainstream media.)

Still in the top ten, there's an article complaining about how some corporate layoffs at Bell were conducted.

There's an anti-Trump article, a article about Biden cancelling some student loan debt, and a complaint about "the rich" (Musk, specifically) in the top fifteen.

Beyond that, there's a submission complaining about a landlord's behaviour, an article about urban planning in Vancouver, and the front page ends with a submission that's upset about some munitions company executive cutting down some trees in the US.

The rest are about sports, oddities, or otherwise don't seem to be political in nature.

I wouldn't consider any of the submissions I'm being shown to be obviously "right-wing" in any way. A number of them I'd consider to be centrist or neutral, if not left-of-centre. Several are overtly left wing.

> 2. Read the management discussion in the 10k of a public version of the company you work

YES! Management's Discussion of Risks section of 10ks is amazing, and really easy to read.

I think it's nuts to work at a public company and NOT follow your employer's 10ks and earnings calls (at least on and off, or at least when newly hired as well as for context any time there's Big Corporate News)

It really helps cut through management's BS when you can just read how they're describing the situation to the shareholders rather than the spin for internal audiences. It's the One Secret Trick that will give you an idea of what the motivations and interests of your company's leaders are, as opposed to what they claim or you guess that they are, which then ends up being super useful for say, judging which project has a better likelihood of becoming important, how to sell things internally, etc
Hey everyone, I'm working on this at Google and would be happy to answer your questions :)

The tldr; is that we see a lot of similar requirements from developers across Angular and Wiz, so we're looking for opportunities to reuse work. Good example is the Angular Signals library that's now used in all the YouTube Mobile Web. In a similar way, Angular is bringing more fine-grained code loading that Wiz offers.

Over time, we'll continue focusing on what's best for developers and incorporating the best from Wiz in Angular, and vice versa. At the end we can end up with one framework, or continue to coexist.

In the next couple of weeks we'll follow up with a blog post that explains our plan in more details.

Thats a very hard simplification in a complex modern world.

A world like now never existed before: Millions of people living in cities were they are not able at all to live in nature or can't afford to move away or into the cities.

A world with high speed communication.

A world with unlimited possibilities.

A world were you grew up without ever having to learn were your water comes from and how your food is made.

The world doesn't need most of us, this was never the case in the past. I'm a smart person, i'm not needed because there are still enough even smarter people.

And regarding your quote of the Christians: They don't live it either or never lived. The dark ages produced a lot of christian focused 'art' full of gold.

And in the past, if you had any mental illness, you just might have been killed or put in shackles.
Yes, they specifically mention that in the article and FAQ.
I don’t think asking who is behind the lobbying is a conspiracy theory - in fact ignoring it is probably more dangerous.

Most Apple users don’t care about third-party stores or even know what that means. The ones that do and also want it aren’t big enough to lobby so it’s companies with something to gain that are doing to lobbying. Nothing conspiracy about that.
The original Steam Deck came out Feburary 2022 and the OLED model came out November 2023, nearly two years later, and I got my original Steam Deck nearly one year after giving Valve my money.
Interesting, I've had 2 Garmin Smart Watches and never felt like Apple was restricting them.

I am curious what things the iPhone does that others aren't allowed to do.

Most of the differences between Garmin and Apple Watch seem like they were conscious decisions where they each decided to take a different direction.

It's one of those weird things where it seems like the case has a bunch of holes. You can use an iPhone with some but not all non-Apple Smart watches. You can use a non-Apple phone with non-Apple smartwatches. There are other non-Apple smart watches that those manufacturers have decided can't be used with an iPhone, no different than Apple. Lots of choices in the market, I certainly don't feel restricted.

I am not sure how requiring something like WeChat to break into multiple apps would be a big issue. Apple even breaks it's own apps up into different apps.
> Is Apple even a monopoly though?

Apple has a monopoly though it's AppStore on over 2 billion devices though which it conducts $90,000,000,000 a year. That's more than a lot of countries GDP combined.

Saying Apple doesn't have a 90%+ share of phone market is irrelevant.

The question though, is if Apple as the Platform (phone) provider, maintains it's monopoly (AppStore) though anti-competitive means.

>> I question the wisdom of it, but the idea of this aggressive antitrust enforcement, which so far has more strikes than hits

We only really take these up when they are blatant (price fixing, apple and books, MS and vendors). Or lock ins where there is NO alternative (MS and browsers). This doesn't really meet those bars.

If Apple wins this one at home, then they can quickly cry about other countries regulations being "anti competitive".

I have to wonder if this political on some level.
I remember Reddit. It used to be a great place to meet others with the same niche interests. It's a shame they self immolated.

>>There is no version of animal farming that if you did the same with humans wouldn't constitute human rights violations.

Look at the way cattle and sheep are farmed over moorlands in the UK, the animals are literally left alone on land hundreds of hectares large, they live in as "natural" environment as physically possible. We can argue that a human left in those conditions would be unhappy with the still limited space, but I don't think we can argue in good faith that any animal is "unhappy" in those circumstances.
So you don't live in the US?
I'm all in for space exploration, but this is getting ahead of ourselves. We haven't had a human on the moon for decades, we haven't even landed any devices intended for long-term operation.

Thinking about railroads is like the inventor of the first steam engine planning a highway network. Maybe nice for armchair daydreams, but nothing we should be paying money for.

The healthcare market in the US is crazy. UnitedHealth has revenues of $90b per quarter, up from $20B 15 years ago: https://valustox.com/UNH

They only make a 6% margin, but still. That's a ton of cash.
Or, I can keep using KiCAD and have my contractors work on it for no extra cost.
Human compliance isn't perfect. Without China-level enforcement all lockdowns were leaky. There's a point of can't.

Furthermore, Covid has animal hosts. Even if the would could cooperate on completely stamping it out it would soon jump back from some animal. We simply have to live with it, take what precautions you want in your personal life but there's no point in society at large doing so.

(I do, however, think that medical facilities should be mask-required. But I think they should have been pre-pandemic, also.)
Sure. But the reality is that cotton is expensive and resource intensive compared to other materials; absent a global effort to ban plastic clothes, it seems worthwhile to make those clothes less environmentally damaging.

>...but I HATE rxjs and the complexity of it. And the whole thing on top of rxjs, ngrx. You can't just simply take one value and compare it, no you have to use pipes and rxjs.

We're working on making RxJS optional. In v17.3 `@angular/core` no longer has a dependency on RxJS. In the long-term we'll enable a path forward without RxJS for other core modules as well.

That said, we're providing an interop package that enables even better RxJS support for people who make the decision to use it.
> Apple itself offers a "super app" of course, which is the Apple ecosystem of apps.

Not sure I buy this point. Competitors can also offer their own suite of apps. Apple has an advantage that they can come pre-installed. But they aren't really building super-apps, just a variety of default apps - nothing stops third parties from offering multiple apps on the platform, that is actually a common thing to do.
Perhaps it needs to be like vaccines and immune systems... pay someone to scam your elderly relatives for small amounts of money so they learn.

Military/police power that doesn’t depend on actual humans following orders does sound like a scarily stable system. Can’t exactly carry out an insurrection if all humans are outgunned 100 to 1. At least today, the threat of a coup or mass uprising exists.
Seems rather unfair on Apple to me. You don't have to buy an Apple product, when you do, you know what you are getting, there is choice.

These things always seem like some strange powerplay, if such bodies weren't happy, they should of been discussing this with Apple and changing the laws to match rather than making a big public spectacle out of it, this really hurts innovation.

Of course the HN comment crowd are going to be happy with this though.
While I agree tree-sitter is an amazing tool, writing the grammar out can be incredibly difficult I found. I tried writing out a grammar and highlighting query set for vhdl with tree-sitter, and found that there were a lot of difficulties in expressing vhdl grammar in tree-sitter.
That's because shared libraries have an extremely heavy bias towards C. They're ill-suited for languages that have generics, and use monomorphisation or rely on inlining. The standard .so format and dynamic linker don't support features that can't be dumbed down to look like C.
Ask HN: How do you avoid AI in technical interviews?
I've been performing technical interviews for the past week, and half of the LinkedIn applicants where using some kind of AI tool to a more or less obvious degree. We ask them to share the screen and we paste (or for some questions ask orally) toy questions like reviewing a piece of CSS or writing some python method.

I've seen many people use a secondary screen to copy-paste answers, read literally from ChatGPT in a very obvious manner, type into some other window... even after communicating clearly that we're against this pretty obvious behavior.

What's your current way of preventing this? I've thought of asking them to join the call with their phone too and keep the camera pointing to their hands/keyboard, but it's too intrusive.
If they get it done quickly, it might happen before the election (and then the fallout from the election) turns the site into an utter shitshow?
One thing I don't get about this is say DOJ wins and significantly weakens Apple.

They'll basically hand the market to foreign companies. Seems odd.

Google does not need an assist here, last I checked they are doing great, and could fix a lot of the things iPhone users don't like about Android if they wanted to.

I use apple products because of the software and consider it better then the alternatives.
That seems...fair to me? Apple makes a phone a lot of people want to buy, and adds NFC to it to enable mobile payment, and they provide security guarantees for the end user and the card issuer alike. I don't know why they should be obligated to provide this functionality to the card issuers for free.
My guess is around notifications and handoff to iPhone apps.

I tried Garmin watches, and they're certainly better as "exercise tracking devices" than anything Apple offers, but they weren't tightly enough integrated with my iPhone to make it "worth it" to me to wear them all the time.

An Apple Watch Ultra - on the other hand - is a poorer exercise tracking device, but gives me enough "integrated with my iPhone" benefit to become the first watch I've worn consistently in 30+ years.

I assumed this was the result of design and development choices by Garmin, but it'll be interesting to see if their are meaningful ways that Apple restricts smartwatch developers from including similar levels of integration.

We're not arguing against it, but simply haven't committed to doing or not doing it as Svelte 5 has been higher priority. We would rather be deliberative than introduce a feature where we don't have the developer experience fully thought out. We want to understand what the experience would be for Svelte users both with and without SvelteKit and have good guidance around the trade-offs of different rendering modes.
Then by the same argument, it should be ok for Microsoft to prevent users from installing any other browser on Windows besides Edge because it could make that person’s device less secure…

No, a user should be allowed to take the security risk of installing whatever they want on their computers. Security-conscious users will have clean phones, and ordinary users will have phones full of viruses like their computers.
