I think I once read that Microsoft's Xbox team once advocated for residential IPv6 for exactly this reason, but I don't have a reference.
Serious question. Is there an example of price control that has worked for longer than a handful of years?

I’m not aware of any, but I’m also in a conservative bubble.
Exciting Weekend Project: Introducing Dub.co Dart Package!

I'm thrilled to share my latest weekend project with the community. For those who may not know, Dub.co is an open-source link management infrastructure that provides powerful analytics, including geolocation, device, browser, and referrer information.

Over the weekend, I created a Dart package for the Dub.co APIs, which is now available at https://dub.sh/flutter-dub-sdk. The best part? It's fully open-source! You can explore the code on Git at https://git.new/flutter-dub-sdk.

Feel free to check it out and contribute if you'd like!

> but the sheet was broken

Apple's Web services have been a shitshow, for many years. I suspect that several iOS screens are little more than WebViews into their Web services.

It's worst, on the backend, in things like App Store Connect, or Developer Center.

Ironically, they tend to work better on Chrome, than on Safari, and my workflow for encountering issues, is to reopen the page in Chrome.
The historical value is invaluable for our species, especially in the far future. There is a moral imperative for this kind of thing to be made available for posterity that, in my opinion, completely overshadows any commercial, copyright or political correctness concerns.

Frankly, there should be regulations guaranteeing source code release after a few decades, and that all code, including third party code, is released from copyright protection. In return, companies should be granted legal protection from any potential legal consequences. It was over 30 years ago. The idea that somebody should be able to sue Microsoft for copying code or a third party can sue them for releasing it or that they should in any way be punished for unsavory language used THIRTY years ago is clearly utter insanity.
FM support is indeed excellent. But FM service has issues e.g. search faults which mean labels may bring up different results on a different day.
Last I checked there weren’t even any decent non-Apple high-density 32” monitors available, let alone 40”
Yes, do not do this.
Finally they are doing something sensible. Get rid of the injection houses too, please.

Could a (nation state?) hacker group be attacking Apple?

Maybe this is not their fault at all but the result of some others pressure on certain (undocumented?) API’s or some such thing?
If Trump loses and RFK Jr isn't given a chance, we'll still be left with a president likely incapable of making nuclear strike decisions in 6 minutes at a moment's notice.

Biden's cognitive ability gets wildly exaggerated, but I think its totally reasonable to assume he isn't always 100% prepared for such a decision and 4 more years would just make that harder.

I honestly don't know how anyone makes such a decision with limited knowledge in the moment and 6 minutes to act, so it's not like the problem is only related to age or medical concerns.
In a relatively efficient market, you can reason about the average M&A profit. The typical PE/VC fund has 15% annual return (which is not really compounded) and a 5-10 year horizon. So let's say the average profit over 5 years is somewhere around 100% on the invested capital, or around 50% overhead.

But before you complain about that, R&D paid to universities also include overhead for the universities, and it is quite significant. In US it is over 50%. The universities partly act like investors in this way, the administration invest money (e.g. start-up grants, some professor salary) into research groups and expect them to bring external grants, and the overhead partially pays for that.

Depending on what you want to measure, you need to include the cost of people and resources involved in the production of the thing you want, and not just the marginal unit cost of the thing. It may not be easy to draw the line, but you have roughly two choices:

1. Deduct a reasonable percentage from both university grants and M&A

2. Accept that without profit, people would not have funded certain research (which carries risks and requires selection), so you include those as costs of doing business in your assessment

Another way to think about it is that the money you spend on research itself containts other people's profits too. If you buy equipment, the equipment company makes a profit. Staff has savings. The govt always takes a cut. It's profit all the way down.
Ah, I had misremembered, and misread https://www.debian.org/releases/etch/.
I used to think this. The Google, Apple, and Facebook options are the improved ergonomics solution. It just never pans out for these open solutions. I've been waiting decades for it things to get to that level, but it always ends up the same way - fiddling with servers.
> figured someone has my @iCloud email address and tried to login.

So... anyone with just your iCloud email address can get you locked out?? That's not what I would call secure...
No not really. Nowadays debian has pretty fresh packages. At least Debian 12 had most of it packages newer than 22.04.
What are the odds of having this experience? Shouldn’t they affect your behavior?
One thing I noticed actually that I didn't notice in the other thread is that a few days ago, I saw "a new device has been added to Facetime". I didn't know what it was and whether it was my device or not, so I just removed it from the list immediately. A few days later I noticed the same behaviour everyone else had, i.e. that my apple id was logged out.

So when I logged back in there was no particular issue, I wonder if there is a correlation between the two. It makes me wonder if something on Apples side has been compromised.
Interesting, I'd never heard of awka. Note that frawk does some JITting using LLVM, so it can also be very fast; but it also doesn't support everything that gawk does.
The argument that it is ‘screwing desktop Linux’s progress’ doesn’t hold well in light of the success of the Steam deck- selling to millions- and running a Wayland compositor. Which ‘non-wayland’ efforts have been thwarted, that had any such numbers?
Because expectations have increased since the early 90's and servers cost money.
Yes. For example EU have eliminated excessive roaming charges between telephone operators in the EU. That brought down costs for consumers by multiple orders of magnitude.

In practice, price controls can work well when there is no efficient price competition.
Yeah, agree, other media. The killer app for VR is obviously porn. But that's not gonna fly with Apple.
Hey, I have an idea: How about we retro-fit the 8 biggest container freight ships on earth with nuclear engines like submarines, air carriers etc. have, or even electric ones.

That would cut the air pollution by something akin to the pollution by most of the cars on the planet, combined. Those things run on the worst sludge fossil fuel in existance.

So why are we not doing that?

I wonder because cows do not fart, they burp. And methane breaks down into water within 14 days of UV exposure in the atmosphere, and I like cows.

Another idea is Thorium reactors, they can run on spent fuel from traditional nuclear plants which is mostly _not used up_ and therefor must be stored millions of years. This would reduce storage time to thousands of years, make the spent rods a commodity and the physics preclude catastrophic meltdowns, make it really hard to enrich whatever those thingies they make thermonuclear atomic weapons with.

.. why are we not doing that either?

This is such a weird comment, the m1 macbook was so obviously superior in every way to my 2019 intel macbook i was blown away
Ah, this is my misunderstanding.

Apologies.
Interesting. In my mind an id is an identity. I think of ids as ‘what distinguishes and object uniquely from other objects’.

> if someone has a password list and is using a bot to scan them all; Apple will of course lock-out sign-in attempts.

Of course?? That would be insane. Password-guessing bots are all over the place. Apple should not allow them to cause lockouts.
Yeah I long for a language that has rust enums and pattern matching but none of the async or borrow checker.

Maybe I should just unsafe rust and see how I go....
To be fair, we do this for a lot of other stuff as well. For instance, driving over the speed limit does not harm anyone per se, it's only when this leads to a traffic accident that harm is caused. You could just as well say: let's not have speed limits, let's only criminalize harming people in an accident, and then it's everyone's responsibility to drive at a responsible speed (and maybe in case of an accident, you would need to prove in a court that you drove (ir)responsibly and who was at fault). But we know this doesn't work in practice.
> Maybe this is not their fault at all but the result of some others pressure on certain (undocumented?) API’s or some such thing?

Both things can be true at the same time.
From the anti fraud pov, giving explaination is "tipping".

From user pov, this is frustrating.

I can't see how this can be solved.
No doubt. I find these churches amazingly beautiful.

I also think in the sense of how a church in 1500 was not a relic of the past the way we view a church from 1500 today. I would say a church from 1500 was much closer to what the churches in this article would have been in 1500.

Of course, there is a real issue that while I find these amazingly beautiful I would never go to one because I am not the least bit Christian or religious.
Do you have examles of 'pro' software which no longer works on Apple Silicon?
You are restating that the self-hosted options are not as ergonomic yet which I already acknowledged.

As for waiting, yeah, sad story, but most of us don't want to be on the computer for 16-18h a day anymore. I implore any of the more privileged programmers -- people with job security, $200K+ annual salary, a lot of social safety nets -- to open their eyes and stop fucking around with the one millionth LISP interpreter and just start making non-corporate-controlled tech already.
Problem is hardware. I don’t like macos nor Apple, but their laptops are the best hardware out there.
I had a very similar story that I’ve shared on here before. I fortunately very much knew it was Lyme because I got it in Europe where the bullseye rash is much more common. My PCP, in his infinite wisdom, said it was a skin rash and wanted to refer me to a dermatologist instead. Why? Because he couldn’t be bothered to Wikipedia Lyme disease and learn that the European one takes 8 weeks to appear, and because the gestation time didn’t line up with his knowledge of American Lyme disease, well, surely it’s not Lyme disease, even though it was an extremely obvious bullseye rash right where I had gotten the bite. It didn’t matter to him that I told him that I had gotten it in Europe AND that I had looked it up and noted that the European variant takes longer.

I live in Texas and I was lucky/smart enough to tell my PCP to piss off and walk into an urgent care where a nurse who was born in Maryland immediately diagnosed me and gave me antibiotics. If you get a tick bite do not ignore this. It will fuck up your life if you do. It’s insane your doctor didn’t just proactively prescribe antibiotics. The long term effects of Lyme disease are bad enough that it is absolutely something that is worth giving antibiotics for even if you aren’t 100% sure.

The incident has made me have a pretty strong skepticism of whatever doctors say. I now know that you, and only you, are responsible for your own medical care unfortunately. It is insufficient to trust someone simply because they have the letters MD after their name
And nuclear weapons detection, whether testing or military use.

The death penalty is very important. What makes ordinary people follow the law is a desire to conform to society’s expectations. Humans are social animals—we want to be “good people,” not “bad people.”

Imposing the death penalty for drug dealers cultivates a social norm about how evil drug dealers are. Its society’s ultimate sanction and indicator of the acts society deems evil. It’s like the social opprobrium we have in the US for child molesters, where we look the other way when they get killed in prison. It reinforces the norm—even other criminals realize that child molesters are especially evil.
Lex Friedman's podcast episode [1] with Annie Jacobsen, author of Nuclear War: A Scenario, is an extremely interesting one. They go into detail on what she found regarding the nuclear football, why it was created in the first place, and how insane it is to expect anyone to make such a decision.

NB 'Despite its faults'.

I hope you complained to your MP, and/or ofcom?

What alternative would you prefer? It would be ideal to turn openreach over to either it's own heavily regulated PLC or a MIC/COOP, but can we really force that in a capitalistic society, when the current status quo is 'acceptable'?

I would prefer openreach were force to sell a regulated single strand dark fibre product, that can be used however the CP wants, but it would cause genuine chaos for ORs business model e.g leased lines would be cancelled.
Instead of making it legal to consume drugs in public spaces, they need only have made it necessary for the law enforcement to prove that a person is a drug dealer rather than a user - example: by the weight of drugs being carried, by showing evidence that a person was actually selling/distributing the drugs etc
That different IPv6 will still identify the subscriber, because it will have a shared prefix, usually statically allocated by the provider.
Can cause? Will cause, surely.

> failure to do anything can lead to account compromise.

Only on negligently managed accounts, right?
Neutrinos with attitude.
Do you still have the hard disk? Did you attempt to recover it ?
Yeah because jsx is popularly used by react (and even maybe the first?), people associate jsx as react. We need more jsx (tsx) outside of react, or compilable / type definitive xml.
It’s called opportunity cost, which when inflicted regularly enough and to a great enough degree starts to just look like general incompetence.
It's a catch 22 - you can't deploy Rust so no one uses Rust for anything, no one uses Rust for anything so there is no reason for Sony to work on Rust deployment.

I think it would be a really good fit for certain parts of the engine - serialization code especially. We have massively complicated C++ code parsing network packets and all sorts of similar sketchy things, always scares me when I see it.
"Eventually got a test (probably an inferior one, knowing our health service), which came back negative"

This is fairly common, even with provider ordered tests.

I know a few doctors that will actually send samples to two different facilities, or perfer one facility or test type over another due to fairly common false negatives.
Wouldn’t that “no-internet” service actually run afoul of the newly reinstated Net Neutrality rules? Or is there an exception in it for non-commercial or governmental services?
It’s pretty damn easy to solve this tbh. Yes, you imprison people, push them out of your cities and confiscate all drugs. You don’t have to change the laws, just enforce them, it doesn’t matter if you’re addicted to drugs, taking a dump on the street has a criminal penalty.
Basic research is well-subsidized by the public (and IMO should get paid royalties if there was a good way to track attribution), but the vast majority of a drug’s cost is in its development, specifically the clinical trials.
What makes you think that IRC doesn't support IPv6?
Black swan events can happen to you. Recently I traveled to a European country from my base (Middle East). I normally take my phone and laptop with me and they are synced. I forgot the laptop charger and could not get one locally not at least for about a week and then dropped my phone and it got damaged. I bought another phone (Adroid) and tried to log in to by google accounts. It recognized the email and the pswd but then wanted verification from the original device! Despite having the original sim in the new phone.

On my return everything went smoothly through my laptop. Scary though.

My conclusion - have two physical phones + laptop all synced, plus hardcopy of important pswds etc.

Data is easier to protect by offline and online back-ups, but your online identity is hard.
Same applies to Apple terminating legitimate developer accounts and thus destroying livelihoods.
In my mind, if you're running potentially-compromised code on your machine, you're already hosed and the display server isn't going to protect you.
I use both Mac and Windows with no Apple account or Microsoft account. I lose some features, but gain privacy. Once I lost access to a Windows machine.
Maybe reading about passkeys imminent death on HN?
I totally agree with this on the surface, but I never know how to align it with trying to solve larger problems we often hear people raising alarm bells about.

For example, if we really are concerned with climate change do we really want companies spending small fortunes to either fail or build an expensive product that takes a ton of resources to create? If we really are worried about health concerns related to excessive screen use, do we really want companies trying to strap screens on your face? If we're really concerned with inflation, is it beneficial for a company to spend this much money and resources to try to build a very expensive product that could very well become more of a novelty than anything else?
> which is arguably worse because not only can you not access your phone backups but your email, calendar, drive, etc. is gone too

Some people use iCloud for email, calendar and storage so for them I imagine losing access to Apple ID would be just as bad.
Untrue. "Their" = belonging to /or associated with/.
Decide based on people, how much you are learning and how many stock options you have.
I can't tell what you're going for here (is this serious or sarcastic?) but I was just trying to explain a potential reason, not endorse or reject it.
Independent analysis of clinical studies of MDMA-assisted therapy raised doubts
We are in a 0.01% bubble.

For most people, losing their iCloud or Google accounts would be devastating.

I always joke that I'd rather lose all my documents and credit cards than lose my main e-mail account. And only tech savvy folks understand that it is not, in fact, a joke.
I've been using a mix of folding bikes, (shared) e-scooters, and public transport, for a long time by now, and an additional problem of folding bikes is that at best, they're clunky to carry inside metro carriages (except high-end models, which are expensive).

E-scooters are not very easy to carry, either (15+ kgs is not light, and they're relatively long), but they're practical enough to use consistently.
Someone thought 25% drop looked impressive. A few years from now we will know if it’s true.

If true, they get to look like visionaries. If not, nobody will remember anyway. It’s a no-brainer.
> at no point did the president transfer his powers to the vice president

Well of course he wouldn't transfer power to his VP; in about 4 months after this event he would unleash a mob aimed at murdering his VP. I take the above quote as "don't give lunatics the Presidency". As you mentioned, other past Presidents have taken the duties of the office seriously. Trump has not nor will not.

I think that depends on how you're defining product lineup here. Apple doesn't sell the M1 chip itself, so really the product lineup remained unchanged other than shipping with a new processor.

The watch is the most recent new product I can think of from Apple and that was 9 years ago.
How the BEST designers team at Meta gets it wrong

Because it’s unbelievably hard to

1. Produce a molecule that does what you want it to in the body

2. Figure out how to get that molecule where it needs to be in the body

3. Prevent it from doing all sorts of other gnarly things

4. Convince people you’ve succeeded in doing 1, 2, and 3 to the degree they’re willing to volunteer themselves to put this new molecule inside their bodies — without incentivizing them in any way

5. Convince enough people to do that and collect enough data about them to know for a fact that your drug does X and does not do Y

6. Convince regulators that not only have you done 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, but that it’s also better on some dimension than the currently available treatment

In short: because it’s ridiculously hard. If it’s easy you should go give it a shot, help millions or billions of suffering people, and make billions of dollars in the process. Why wouldn’t you?
"You have to tiptoe around their ego."

Only if you have a shit doctor. I've had to be an advocate for medical care of family members, and I've had a few doctors actually compliment me on being an engaged advocate for their treatment. You still want to be respectful and open minded, but some basic study of the condition/treatment/lingo can go a long way to them seeing you as an informed patient they are willing to work with.
It’s happened with Google too. The use of these huge companies as ID providers is not a great idea, especially given that they practically have no tech support.

Apple will let you talk to a human I guess but you have to make an appointment. Google I have no idea.

"If you know the perl language, then that is a powerful (if otherwise incomprehensible) language with which to hack together a server."

Perl was the first language I wrote dynamic websites in around ~1993 so this made me laugh.
The only protection is to subvert the system by using a false ID in the first place.

Ultimate irony.
I remember the first time I ever saw the WWW, I think it was 1996, I was in 5th grade (in Australia). The whole class sat down cross-legged in the "computer room", where the school's brand-new Internet connection had just been installed (was probably a single 14.4k modem). The teacher opened Netscape Navigator (on an Apple Macintosh) and clicked on a bookmark. We all sat there spellbound, waiting patiently. About half an hour later, the front page of nasa.gov had finished loading! We all thought it was amazing.
