First of all, Apple isn't PULLING apps now that the Apple Watch is released. The Pebble app is still there, and you can still use it. This whole uproar is about a single developer who had his app denied by a specific reviewer at Apple for a basic breach of their terms and conditions for putting Apps on the App Store. The general consensus seems to be that a simple rewording (maybe not even having to remove the word 'Pebble') is all that he needs.

Also, a theater buying a TV/Radio station and not allowing competing theaters to run ads is perfectly acceptable and realistic.

Overall, I'm failing to see your point. Not to be a broken record, but these are competing businesses. It doesn't really matter if you s/Apple/Amazon|Google/g and s/Pebble/Netflix|Roku/g, all you're really arguing is that a company doesn't have a right to control a marketplace that they OWN.

I get that choice is great for the consumer, and I totally agree. It's absolutely best to have the ability to choose the devices you want, have them interconnect, and to be able to run the software that you want on them. I also think there should be no war or crime, and that the 1%'s money should be spread out evenly over the population. I (shockingly) think that no one should treat ANYONE unfairly. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world.

As long as we allow competition between businesses, they are going to, well, compete. Just because one gets very large and popular doesn't suddenly mean the rules have to change for it.
Have you ever worked for a large company before? There's nothing management loves more than access controls. There are whole software products available, like Confluence, that do nothing but take good open source offerings like various wikis and make it so management has to set permissions for every user for every page to do anything at all. Then whenever you need to make a change it takes a week of meetings to get edit permission for the needed page...

>The government has a unique role in a country because it has a monopoly on three institutions (courts, police, military) that are outside of free market. A citizen can not escape them, short of leaving the country. That is why

Limiting business into the gameplay and excluding it from the rule-making is not realistic.

It's clear that if everyone is business savvy and knows how the play the game rationally, top 50% must pay fee for the bottom 50% that is negotiated like business (negotiation power and utility maximization) and the fee is significantly larger than production cost.

Whereas libertarians see the current economy as unfair. Economists can see that politics seems to constantly adjust the gains just as you expect if everyone is at least semi-rational actor.

Progressive taxation is explained by marginal utility theory and smaller number of wealthy individuals. As long as wealthy need the help from the poor to have system that protects their property they must accept contract that is more than what just enforcing the rules.

The only reason anyone buys scooters, either electric or gas, in America is they can usually be operated without a license and insurance. Otherwise they make zero financial sense. They are more expensive than 250cc gasoline motorcycles that require very little maintenance, sip gasoline, and can go 65+ mph.

You can get a perfectly good small motorcycle for $2k. Dropping some multiple of that for an electric scooter toy makes no sense.

But it's a cheap and lazy way, so it's ubiquitous unfortunately.
>* It is that Foucault writes in a way designed to elicit an emotional reaction from the reader (distress at the graphic depiction of human suffering), and yet denies the existence of the same emotional reaction when it comes to attributing motives for penal reform.*

He writes to elicit that emotion to readers many decades (or centuries, depending on the specific practice) removed from those practices. Doesn't mean the people back then had the same emotions or those were the ones that brought the reform.

Reading about the treatment of slaves in the South today will get a huge emotional response too, but that was not how slavery was abolished then -- it took a whole civil war (and decades of struggles with prejudice, Jim Crow laws, KKK and segregation).

>As for his flatly contradicting himself, opening his own book a practically random page brings up the following quote from a contemporary (Damhoudere) complaining that Foucault's executioners exercise "every cruelty with regard to the evil-doing patients, treating them, buffeting and killing them as if they had a beast in their hands." The fact that executions were public spectacles did not mean that people approached them with expectations of justice.

Where's the contradiction? What some public figures and intellectuals said of the executions is not the same as what the public sentiment about them.

To continue with the same exampke, that's in the same way that there were several prominents pro-abolitionists in the South, but that was not the prevalent sentiment of the people there.

I can't help but wonder where this might leave someone such as myself, who is over 40, but relatively new to professional software development. I've programmed for years as a hobby, but was educated in a different field and have only recently decided to pursue programming work for a living. Not only am I old, but I also have little experience compared to others my age.

Apple Maps is user moderated too, right?

Though my excuse at least is that "Apple is known for their massive review process and locking down of everything - this can only be intentional" if it was Apple.

It's more an expectation from the company - I wouldn't even be fully surprised if it was a cheeky Google employee who did it. Would probably get laughs as PR frowns and makes the map team remove it.

If it was an Apple employee? Beheaded.
Maybe because it's so impersonal to pilot a remote-controlled toy on a screen thousands of miles away that when you see little black and white pixels moving on your TV, you have less moral qualms about pushing the little red button on your joystick?

Maybe because you're so far away from that reality -- literally and figuratively -- that you're not experiencing your conscience and the fear of consequences quite the same way, making it easier to take reckless actions that you would otherwise think twice about had it been coming directly from the barrel of your gun, so to speak?
Glad to see their longevity is improved. I had a '74 RX-4 and the conventional wisdom at the time was that you'd get 70-80k miles before you'd lose compression on one of your tip seals. My dad got 80k on the first motor so we weren't too bummed. We changed the motor for a new one and it was still going strong when the body rusted away so badly it wasn't worth fixing. Fun car, though.

Even if marketing had managed to convince people that USB flash drives never stopped working, it was obvious that all files would be lost if the drive got lost, stolen, smashed or soaked. I frankly don't think we can pin this on marketing.
The web is trying to do two things at once right now: Be a platform for applications and be a medium for textual, document-like content.

The former obviously needs a proper scripting language. The latter should definitely be built with progressive enhancement in mind because it's a good thing.

Why this urge, on either side, to immediately apply their issues to an area which doesn't warrant it? Apps can't be progressively-enhanced without making things stupid. Documents shouldn't rely on javascript to be readable (in most cases).
The comparison is not very good. There are plenty of arguments around not driving cars; safety is a valid concern.

Widespread WordPress Plugins and Themes Security Vulnerability
Did you even read the linked page? People turning off JS is one of 8 reasons given. In my experience (never turning off javascript) it's pretty reasonable. My work firewall sometimes blocks CDNs, so any website not serving their JS from their own domain may not load properly. I often browse on my phone on a train. Reception is patchy at best. You load websites during short windows of opportunity.

Maybe you don't care about people who turn off javascript, but perhaps you should care about people at work and people on phones.

Very, very sad facts. But what can you expect of arrogant superpower which, in good old nazi-style stages an incident in Tonkin bay to start whole war, did regularly carpet bombardement of major cities (which automatically means blowing thousands of kids, women, elderly etc. to pieces along with some factories) and so on.

Yes, I'm pissed off on US, how they do what they want around the world in name of money and more power, and even try to lie to the face of the rest of the world about its motives. I don't see much change with present... methods changed, results not so much (ie Iraq poisoning with depleted uranium from those cool A-10 shells and thousands of kids with borne deffects). It's very hard to have much sympathy with events like 9/11 where +-3000 people died, when here we are talking about millions.

They only way I'll show my resent is try to NOT buy/use any US product, be it hardware spehere, or software. Of course, only when it actually makes sense and where proper non-US competition exists. In face of Snowden story, it should probably be agenda of many non-US companies nevertheless.

This book[1] on the Wankel history considered 150k miles the life expectancy for the 13B, less than for previous motors.

They're really cool motors, I'm in that boat with you. How they work means forced-induction doesn't necessarily impact engine life the same way FI on piston/crankshaft motors. That the piston motor is just going to last longer not needing or before it needs major restoration.

A mildly interesting point is that heat isn't an easily mitigated factor, unless we're talking the exact use cases in the OP article -- generators, which run in a very controlled RPM band. Same when we talk about UAV engines or other electricity-generation applications. So, you can engineer the motor to be efficient at those rotation speeds WRT heat management and fuel efficiency.

For one thing, it doesn't looked like Google/Android did this at all. As others have said, it looks like someone has falsely contributed to the map and got past the review. Such an examples is pointed out by andrea_s here[1] (it is around the same area as the original link).

If it were believed that this was an official work by Android, I bet the comments would be much different. However, as it does not look official, the comments in this article cannot be compared to the comments on an article relating to what you describe.

Good question, but seriously, no.

You can actually test that hypothesis yourself very easily. Go look at some of the more gory scenes from Saw, or the Aliens movies. If you're like many typical internet people they won't even phase you. Now go and find some of the typical rotten.com / liveleak content and see how much you can stomach of that. Likely not a lot and not easily at all.

Knowing that something is real makes a MASSIVE difference.

Further, being on the ground with a gun, facing armed and active enemies² makes you more likely and less inhibited to recklessly kill people, because while there may be consequences to killing, the consequence to being killed is FAR greater.

I assume he states "potential" because he sees how it could be possible, not because he has proof of it.
I think the problem here is terminology. A functor is the abstract concept and it implies having the map operation with the right signature and obeying the right properties.

The best way to say it is "The list type 'forms' a functor" or "The Either type 'forms' a functor". The fact that they form a functor implies that their map operation has a fixed set of properties, and these properties are independent of what exactly the data structure does and how it works.
