This does not even talk about pre-clinical research, which I thought was a pretty big component of "development".

I only used "just" twice, and they were both justified. Having people remember their email addresses, and explaining something in a couple of sentences, are both pretty easy. Points #1 and #2 are not entirely trivial, but they&#x2

This feels overly cynical to me. The article is a bit rambly so let me try to distill the problems: 1. Most relying parties support resident keys only. This makes a bad user experience because users are surprised when they run out of space,

The linked Wikipedia page about the 1974 experiment says "some schools moved their start times later" in response. I agree that trying to get the entire population to shift everything on their schedules at the same time would be i

I wouldn't call it meaningless. Comparative linguistics can draw surprisingly strong conclusions about how languages sounded a long time ago, even ones that were never written down. There are hundreds of Chinese languages/dialects

The US trialed permanent DST in 1974. In the first 3 months, public support dropped from 79% to 42%. It was ended prematurely. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_in_the_... Of course, there's no

I don't speak either, but would posit that the status of Chinese as an East Asian Lingua Franca caused it to trend toward simplicity, whereas Japanese insularity (physical, cultural, and political, especially during the Edo period) pro

I'm talking about the Guardian article in the grandparent comment. It's a private deal between Google and the Canadian govt.

It's actually still a bad idea, because nobody will link to you

This tax applies only to Google. It doesn't apply to any other tech company, and it never will. The DMA at least provides more-or-less objective criteria for what constitutes a "gatekeeper", but this is literally a private de

Elon lives a very public life. It's not that hard to judge his intelligence with the embarrassment of interviews, tweets, and articles generated by him and about him every day. I also happen to have met him and have several friends who

Elon is not that smart. He's an anomalously hard worker. He can focus on one thing for 18 hours a day, seven days a week, for years. That's his super power. I think he's made a lot of impressive accomplishments, and he certai

This is actually pretty common. My company did exactly that with an Apache project founder. I know of several others. They still work on their own project, but have to shift priorities. Sounds like that's basically what happened here,

Ya, even better. I'm all for carbon taxes actually. Just saying that fossil fuel consumption reverberates through the whole economy. You cannot blame the suppliers that much more than you can blame anybody else.

I'm surprised no mention of Apple's forced 30% on all transactions, complete with hard requirement that you never mention the fee to your users.

Fairness is not the same thing as equality, and most people appreciate that.

It's not about how you might use the device. it's about how people actually use them. Maybe a dozen ppl have ever used the browser on a PlayStation. When you lose your phone, on the other hand, it literally feels weird to go about

> surprisingly fair play And they'll be fairly fined for it

by bloppe 3y ago
Apple is just trying to protect users from scammers! I'm sure all this sensible authorization and notarization business will continue even after the fees are removed from the equation

Ya, I was hoping for more nuance related to this. I'm sure the air foils generate lift, but atmospheric pressure at cruising altitude is ~4psi, and the pressure differential across the foil must be only a tiny fraction of that. Accordi

Your take on the consumer perspective ignores network effects. Lots of people, particularly children, buy iPhones just to avoid the dreaded green bubbles. Adults may be better at handling this, but it's hard to tell children to just us

While I agree philosophically about owning stuff, this isn't about that. If the only problem were "Apple doesn't give you the keys", then competition is a solution. The problem is network effects. An app developer cannot

I just don't understand what PWA's have to do with any of this. There is nothing that a PWA can do that a regular Chrome window would not be able to do. Apple is being force to support the latter. What's wrong with continuing

Idk if you have kids, but tantrums usually involve trying to claw and scream your way into not giving something up

by bloppe 3y ago
So, here's Apple's concern, which is valid: every website (PWA) should have isolated storage (cookies etc), and independent access to system resources (webcam etc) confirmed by the user on a per-site basis. I think we can all agre

Saying "Congress should" is basically abdicating solving the problem
