The difference is that the underlying protocols in those android apps are open, and so can be communicated with by any other app that anyone chooses to write an app.

Apples apps are built on top of proprietary protocols which they do not allow anyone else to use, and so there are lots of features and functionality that can only be used by Apple giving them the edge over anybody else.

Ask HN: LXD vs. Libvirt vs. Boxes vs. VirtualBox for dev work: which is easier?
For a developer workstation who needs to often spin different OSs to test stuff, which one is easier to setup and use?

In my limited experience, VirtualBox takes the crown, followed by GNOME Boxes. But GNOME Boxes is too simple and misses some important features. And Virtualbox, in spite of it's amazingly easy UI, has an out of kernel module with "taints" the kernel and can cause strange issues sometimes. The Linux kernel devs complain a lot about the quality of Virtualbox kernel modules and refuse to have anything to do with it.

VMware Workstation seems to be going downhill, from kernel compatiblity issues to outright crashing the machine. The UI is very good though, when it works.

Libvirt, once Red Hat's golden goose and now thrown aside together with its sister project virt-manager seems very good until you get to setting up network. What the hell. It seems they purposely made it hard to set up networking. I'm only half joking. It feels like they went out of the way to think "how can we make it harder? This is too easy, we need to sell support so it can´t be easy enough". Trying to set a network bridge in Virtualbox and VMware Workstation (and even Hyper-V) is a breeze, but it feels like walking through lava in hell with Libvirt. And Cockpit, their now preferred solution to pair with Libvirt doesn't make it any easier. Libvirt feels like it was designed for datacenter use, not worksation use. Skipping libvirt and using qemu directly with its copious amount of flags seem easier than using libvirt networking.

LXD (and its fork Incus) seems like a good balance between features and UI, has anyone had experience with it? Can it be a good alternative to Virtualbox for development and testing purposes, for a developer workstation?

Proxmox is not relevant here because it's supposed to own the machine, to have the machine dedicated to it.
London as well, or at least broke even. (Although of course this is complicated to assess and contested).

Same reason, all infrastructure was either already there or usable after (the Olympic stadium was sold to a football team).

Generally the larger a city is, the better able it is to host an event like this for obvious reasons.

The distances involved often lend themselves to air travel being more convenient even if there are trains. There's a sweet spot for distance where trains make the most sense, but after that a plane will end up being faster even with all the dead time at the airport.

I live in Dallas. Door to door, a train would be faster and more convenient than a plane for me to go to Houston or Austin. A direct flight will always be faster and more convenient for me to go to Denver, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Orlando, Seattle, etc.

Dallas to New York is ~1,400mi. That's like Madrid to Warsaw. It'll take me ~6 hours everything included to go that distance by plane. What's the travel itinerary for Madrid to Warsaw? Is it direct (same level of convenience)? Is it faster?
Well, you're right, initially Google is a great example of growing because it genuinely was a great well executed product whose time had come. I mean it was just such a fresh air to go from using Excite and asking Jeeves to just googling it.

> user lock-in, artificial bundling,

But eventually Google hit its peak and has had to for the last decade or so concern itself with just maintaining its monopoly position, and it's done a lot of shady things to abet that, if you recall from reading the news over the last decade. A few I recall offhand.

* The infamous developer wage fixing scheme! Remember when it was uncovered that Apple and Google had been secretly and informally following no-poaching and wage cap rules to try to use their market power against developers?

* Monopolizing the ad marketplace by constant mergers and acquisitions (eg DoubleClick)

* Just generally using M&A and hiring as an anti competitive tool, eg acquihiring, overhiring, acquire-and-shut-down, etc -- hiring and acquiring not as a way to legitimately add profitable capabilities but instead merely as a way to tie up valuable limited resources (devs) and thus deny oxygen to potential competition.

* Don't get me started on how they're currently abusing Chromebooks to infiltrate the schools and get kids hooked on watching addictive YouTube Shorts and otherwise being good online ad targets during class time

And I'm sure all the other usual monopolistic behavior companies in their position are often tempted into. Google's challenge has been that by the 2010s, there wasn't really anything left for it to innovate in that could possibly come close to adding more than a rounding error's worth of profit to the huge ad machine.

So since then Google has fundamentally been more like a petrostate or a traditional utility company or something -- just protect the cash cow at all costs and don't rock the boat otherwise. It still kept and continues to try to keep to wear the costume of its earlier younger hip innovative days, but I think that's falling away as a new generation grows up who now sees them as part of the Man, an institution that's been there forever and no longer have a memory of the days when they were new, fun, innovative, countercultural.

In summary, Google didn't do shady things to get filthy rich, but it did do shady things later to stay filthy rich once it became clear there was nothing else left to do but either that, or watch the business gradually decline and get eaten by newer, hungrier startups and competitors.

Somalia probably has no worker protections (it barely has a government), and it's not a thriving job environment.

If we are to just name countries without any criteria, two can play this game.

By your measurement, nordic countries, the Netherlands and so on should be depressing nightmares with hordes of unemployable people, given their strong labor protections. And surprise, they are not.

I'm not denying that it's a very cool and useful feature!

But it is, in the end, an almost prototypical Apple feature: Making something that's been technically possible, but mostly a niche feature, mass-market accessible.

Again, very cool and I love having it on my phone, but I just wouldn't call it an Apple invention.
Comparing the US to countries is very misleading, because there are huge areas with no people which should be ignored. The density of Wyoming pulls down California, and California itself is so large that the central section pulls down the coasts.

For example, density of Southern California is 420.39/sq mi, but the density of the LA Metro area is 541.1/sq mi. Density of California is 253.52/sq mi, and the USA is 87/sq mi.

Southern California is roughly the size of Greece, with a population double of it.

When comparing the USA to Europe, it's better to compare states. The US is less dense, but you can ignore huge swaths of "flyover country".
> But again you're starting with a fairly complex system already, the molecular pump.

Yes, but it's less complex, and it in turn evolved from even simpler forms. The point is a single mutation doesn't need to create a working flagellum from scratch, it just needs to make it from what's already available. Flagella are complex structures that did not arise until after a lot of other things had already developed.

> And my (limited) understanding is that changes that are not useful or helpful would get lost.

This misunderstanding again comes from the distinction between the features and the instructions. If a mutation isn't harmful, it doesn't get reverted and in fact will spread throughout a sizeable fraction of the population. The thing is that without evolutionary pressure as more mutations occur, they will eventually break whatever the original mutation did, so the feature it coded will eventually disappear, though it can take a long time and it may change significantly before it does. There are some caveats though - a gene might code for multiple features, or may exist on a part of the DNA where further mutations are suppressed anyway, and thus even though the feature provides no advantage on its own there will still be evolutionary pressure to preserve the gene, and thus a neutral or even a slightly bad mutation might be retained indefinitely.

> And additional to that, if an organism has a pump (which it needs to function properly) and that pump suddenly is no pump, it's a very bad flagellum, that organism has a very big problem. It's like if we swapped our arms for wings. Wings are cool, but we wouldn't be able to fly anyway, and we'd have serious problems as humans with no arms and hands.

In this particular case, cells have many molecular pumps, so converting some to flagella is not a very big problem. The benefits of a shitty flagellum did outweigh the cost of losing some molecular pumps, but this is a very real limitation to what evolution can produce. Humans certainly won't evolve wings naturally without a lot of other changes happening first. But at the same time wings have evolved - in the case of birds their ancestors evolved an extremely efficient respiratory system more than 100 million years before they took flight, which helped them survive the great dying and subsequently take advantage of the oxygen rich Mesozoic era. Among these a mutation for hollow bones aided agility on the ground, among these adaptations for feathers helped with retaining body heat, among these adaptations for lunging their arms forward helped them grab prey, among these adaptations for tree climbing allowed them to become better ambushers, and it was among these that sacrificing some of their arm capabilities for shitty wings was a net gain.

It may not be known yet, and this project seems to be targeted at gaussian distributions, but wouldn't the simplicity bias reduce sensitivity? I mean attention in transformers works so well in part because OOD is typically close enough.

Probably just my own bias because it seems everything I deal with is at least MArP and anomalies are important to my use case.

I can see where this is useful for others, even Amazon suggests ARIMA or ETS if you don't have hundreds of related streams.

Is this more targeted at people who want more smoothing?

Or am I just missing something?

It is most emphatically NOT "London, the city", in exactly the same way that Civic center is not the city of San Francisco.

It's just confusingly named.

> but if you have any other contributors, those contributions are still under GPL.

You hit the bull eye.

These all projects as I could see, have relatively low number of important contributors and narrow circuit, and they are mostly relatively young projects, without large number of inherited old code, so when need to throw out some code, they just need to make internal deal and rewrite all "external" code.

Once, they have all code owned by limited group, could make deal within this group, to re-license whole project with other license.

And yes, you are right, this is near impossible for big projects, because need too much resources to rewrite "external" code.

And in many cases, for big business this mean, for them is easier to just make their own new project from scratch, than to use GPL-licensed code.

So now you'll have the in-city checkin version and the in-airport checkin version? Because you definitely need parking and rental cars somewhere convenient. "Here" means a greater area serviced by a large airport which is a lot more than a city.

There probably would even be a market for an in-city bag drop service. But it wouldn't replace people driving to the airport.

If that's a bad thing, then you're praising them for not being that way this time, right? Or are you criticizing them for not living up to your negative expectations?

But bits of material derived from the key gets placed in the cache, and an attacker can piece these bits together in a way that allows them to reconstruct the key, after causing the processor to do this multiple times.

Critical Analysis of the Electric Vehicle Industry
Global warming and urban pollution have directed public policy towards sustainability and development of cleaner sources of energy. Electric vehicle industry provides a viable trajectory towards energy efficient transportation. From the standpoint of strategic management, we apply the five forces framework that outlines the dynamics in the electric vehicle industry and highlights the relative attractiveness of substitute products in terms of price and available infrastructure. In addition, the paper advances discussion of Porter’s widely used Five forces model in strategic management by appropriating the concept of strategic action field that allows for the inclusion of human element. Finally, the paper bridges the gap for refinement and involvement of human element through the application of strategic action fields.
That was also my first thought after looking at the examples.

I’m biased (Gen X) but I think Gen X has had the most interesting computer technology progression of everyone living today. We started with 8-bit computers like the C64, Apple II, Atari, moved on to 16-bit and DOS, moved on to the 32-bit triad of Windows, Mac, and Linux, on to 64-bit architectures, went from 2400 BBSs to 9600 and beyond, transitioned from dialup Internet with PPP to backbone-connected networking in college, just catching ISDN, DSL, and cable modems as young adults, now enjoying cloud services and hosted VMs, were steeped in assembly language, then BASIC, then pascal, C, C++, got to work with higher and higher level languages and frameworks, and are now witnessing a transformation to AI prompt driven development.

What is Gen Z’s “technology progression” look like? iPhone6->iPhone X->iPhone 13->iPhone 15->and on and on… yawn. Development-wise it’s varying versions of Xcode and/or js frameworks, I guess, and now on to AI prompts. I feel like they missed out on so much!

I made no personal attacks, I merely exposed the bullshit of the original reply by reducing it to it's more basic premises.

Having a career for more than 2 decades (including FAANG on my resume), in 3 different countries, is not enough of a life experience?

I also have a child, bought a house with the fruits of my labor, always paid my taxes, etc. What more experience do I need?

Oh wait, I get it. You are making a personal attack. Since you have no defence against my arguments, your only recourse is an Ad Hominem by implying I am too young and have no life experience. The last resort of those without any arguments.

We also shouldn't allow non-residents to profit off the pain of people who actually live where the infrastructure is.

My point is that the surrounding suburbs are suffering the pain of being adjacent to an airport while deriving very little benefit, and those do benefit want to expand to increase traffic. Chicago gets quite a lot out of the increasing traffic through O'hare while the people that actually live nearby don't.

State governments are happy to turn a blind eye to their principles when politically connected industries ask for something. For example Texas, the state that is so free-market it gives you the freedom to have a $10,000 electric bill in a blizzard, signed into law SB13, which prohibits state agencies for working with companies that pledge to divest from fossil fuels [1]. This is the state of Texas mandating that private corporations invest their money in a specific way. It happens to be a way that benefits the states oil and natural gas industries, but is also costing tax payers $300m-$500m through loss of competition in financing.
