I don't understand your description of the problem, it doesn't match how the old login page works at all. 1. The username and password fields have not been on the same page for like, 15 years. You havne't been able to get fro

But I am not saying that HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 are magic that fix packet loss in mobile networks. I'm saying that from the point of view of either endpoint, there is very little packet loss in mobile networks, because of error cor

In reality it's quite hard for somebody to observe that themselves using just their smartphone. The only way they can do it is by getting a packet trace, which they won't have the permissions to capture on the phone, nor the skill

Huh? I'm not talking about papering over it on the TCP or HTTP/2 level. I'm talking about the actual physical radio protocols, and my message could not be more explicit about it. If you don't understand something, it&#x2

It isn't. Or at least wasn't back in the UMTS / early LTE era that's being discussed; I got out of that game before 5G. The base stations and terminals are constantly monitoring the signal quality and adjusting the error

Here's a source for my claim: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31302174 (I'd heard the story in person from Snover years before that, so it definitely wasn't just sour grapes from somebody about to leave

Umm... Like, pretty clearly H2 wasn't meant to be the Holy Grail? Not sure where you're getting that from. (Though as an aside, it feels like you've now backtracked from "H2 is a failure that's worse than H1"

That's actually a hilarious example (in the "hilariously wrong" sense), because Jeffrey Snover had to accept a demotion to make PowerShell. He was told it was a useless project, not fit for someone at his level to work on, an

Here's a third option: the five month old anonymous HN account claiming to know what the H2 designers were thinking of is wrong. How would you compare the likelihood of that to your two options? The main problem you're talking of

That's a pretty silly take. You're basically asserting that implementation difficulty is always the main priority, and there can never be any worthwhile tradeoffs that could offset that complexity. But in reality, the world probab

For example various kinds of hardware TCP offload, like: 1. Handing the NIC a single blob of data (> MSS) in a single operation, and having the NIC do the segmentation into multiple packets. 2. Having the NIC detect multiple exactly cons

See, this is funny, because it's actually you who is trying to control others, by demanding that they put in time and effort on engaging with low quality and low effort content rather than just downvote and move on.

It cuts both ways. You also can't expect people to write long rebuttals to every inane conspiracy theory. That just allows people like the OP to commit what are effectively denial of service attacks on the community, by posting low eff

Why do you say the EC is fine with it? I bet you can't produce any statement from the EC even marginally supporting it. All you know is that Apple proposed something blatantly illegal, and then backed down from that plan. It's imp

If Apple's security model really is that weak, it sure sounds like they should pull their products off the market until they fix it.

It's not reasonable when Apple has set up artificial roadblocks whereby Epic can't compete with Apple in the iOS app store market without a developer account. As of yesterday, Apple is legally mandated to enable competition in tha

The GP wasn't making an argument about why Epic's account was terminated. They were making an argument about why Epic wasn't a competitor to Apple. That argument was based on the mistaken belief that Epic was looking to launc

No, it wouldn't be an Epic-only store. One reason we know this is that Epic Games Store on PC isn't Epic-only. Another reason we know it is that Apple has (arbitrarily) forbidden app stores that aren't open to third parties.

DMA enforcement only started today. Until today, all these plans were just words on a paper. The EC will only look at the real state of the world now that enforcement has started, and make their enforcement decisions based on that and the p

Well, yes, clearly I think you're confused about how this works given you keep thinking that a US court ruling is going to overrule the DMA on EU soil. The entity that Epic will be complaining to about this will not be a US court. It

The article is talking about the license for Epic's EU subsidiary, which would have been used to launch an app store only in EU (as the only region where Apple is obligated to make competing app stores possible). When the EC, and possi

What are you basing that claim on? As far as I can see Apple's financials only break out revenue by geography, not net income.

Have any other companies announced credible plans for a competing app store? I'm at least not aware of any, which would absolutely make Epic their main competitor. It is pretty hilarious how people think some US court judgement would h

They don't have a court ruling on this that has any relevance in Europe.

Apple hasn't left China . They'll rather compromise both their product vision and their Chinese users than then leave a market that's smaller (for them) than the EU.

Epic provided screenshots of the emails. Are you seriously suggesting there's even the tiniest chance they're forgeries?
