AIUI Apple has deliberately kneecapped PWAs on iOS to stop them competing with their App Store.

I agree, except the DMA specifically only applies to companies over a specific size. I think if the German newspapers were at FB/Apple scale, in terms of number of users, then the DMA would apply (i.e. they would be designated gatekeep

Surely there is a middle ground where its at least possible to install apps that apple haven't approved[1]? I also like the idea of the _higher_ bar that the app store is supposed to have (not that this bar is always met), but the lack

I don't think any current flow in the water is deliberate. The heating comes from the resistive heating of the coil. The issue (i think) is the coil being uninsulated, allowing some current to leak out through the water, hence the ting

I think the novelty is that they don't have to optimise the splats at all, they're directly predicted in a single forward pass.

Probably not much harder, but you wouldn't get the same massive jump in quality that you get going from 1 image to 2. NeRF/Gaussian Splatting in general is what you're describing, but from the looks of it, this just does it i

I thought, (although the rules might have changed), that Apple explicitly forbids having different prices between your website and the app, and will kick you out of the store if it finds you doing this?

Oh 100% I agree. My question/point is about how the US system treats monopolistic practices, and I worry that actually that example works in Apple's favour as they would likely argue that consumers are free to switch to android if

I don't think that's enough though is it? To my mind the strong counter argument is that consumers are choosing to pay higher prices for "higher quality" (i know that often not the case with the scams on the app store) a

Isn't part of the problem how US anti-monopoly law is worded requiring proof of "consumer harm" which is normally measured in increased costs? In the case of Apple's monopoly, its not clear how you would measure that let

As I'm not an expert on American Employment and Labour Union laws, does anyone with more experience know: is this not very likely to cause significant problems for Tesla with the NLRB?

I might argue that the issue is not "having ways for the employees in the stores to communicate their needs to corporate.". But rather having corporate act on those needs, and in the face of larger investors like Buffet and Vangua

I wonder if the decision in the US around Epic and external links[0] will benefit spotify in Europe or not (when it is eventually resolved). [0]: https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/8/22814147/epic-apple-app-

It feels like you're doing exactly what the article was complaining about: ad hominem attacks, rather than refuting the argument she's making. I also think this comment is not in keeping with the HN guidelines.

Not wanting to sound too snarky, but TSMC is entirely dependent on the Dutch ASML for the machines used in their fabs.

My limited understanding is that rust provides significant advantages in terms of memory safety[1], that should reduce the chance of errors and bugs, whilst c++11 does not provide these same advantages. [1] Comparison of memory safety of c

I think this is an unpleasantly complicated topic because: 1) The FDA does have glacially slow processes, that limit competition in markets, often keeping prices artificially high (see the US Insulin market), but 2) The FDA has a pretty goo

This is true, but according to the Flexport CEO [1][2], the An-225 and An-124 were vital parts of the global air freight network/system. And only 5 of them were outside Ukraine when the invasion started. [1] https://twitter.

Yeah, that makes sense mostly. But why is NaN === NaN false? What am I missing here?

I'm not sure that's right. 1/0 is undefined NOT infinity, hence -1/0 is also undefined . So actually line 3 should evaluate as true.
