> the federal ban on at-home alcohol distillation for personal consumption also exceeds Congress’s Article I power to regulate interstate commerce because the activity in dispute is neither commerce nor interstate.
I thought it was already settled that making your own does affect interstate commerce because you are not buying from the market. That was covered in a Radiolab episode where this whole thing was decided.
Wickard v. Filburn: The Court decided that if Filburn used his own wheat for feed instead of buying it on the open market, it cumulatively affected interstate commerce and national market prices
I'm not saying I agree with that ruling. Only that it was already ruled on.
Funny, I clicked on some of their projects. They had a popup drawer web widget. You can not choose how far it opens. It always slides all the way up or all the way down. I can't name how many times I've run into something similar where a form is in the drawer and the info I need to see to correctly fill it out is outside (or visa-versa) and because it won't let me adjust there is no way to see both pieces of info at the same time. Worse, if the form is in the drawer and I close it to find the info I need, it will end up clearing the form.
True, but there are so many bad designers, working at famous places. The Liquid Glass person is the perfect example. So many well documented issues with unreadability with that.
Maybe, I agree that Liquid Glass is not nice, but staying always in the realm of the “nice but safe” is also not so great imo. Time simply preserves the good stuff and forgets the bad. Same with flat UI that came with iOS7 (?) - it was not so nice initially, but eventually contributed to the overall aesthetic direction of the whole industry.
I'm pretty sure the words "Apple", "Target", "Gap", "Camel", "Jaguar", "Shell" and many others are also trademarked. Some of them the world over. It doesn't stop you from using the word except in the same genre of business
Those don't apply to instances of themselves. It's like if you breed a new apple cultivar, name it "Apple", and then register a trademark, to be the only one to name their apple variety "Apple". Or you register the trademark "Science Fiction" for your new science fiction franchise.
How many people have you thanked for the words and phrases they originated? Note: They didn't make them famous. That happens through various means (marketing, PR, luck, etc...)
At least as many as the number of times I've tried to claim someone else's words and phrases as my exclusive intellectual property in order to profit, because I believe the latter is zero.
Trademarking words is common. "Apple" is one. It doesn't mean you can't use the word apple, it only means you can't name a computer company "Apple". There is still Apple Corps, Apple Bank, and tons of bakeries, cafes, donut shops, restaurants etc named things like "Apple Cafe", "Apple Donuts", "Apple Tree Diner", etc..
Or one can be like Apple, and just sort of ignore trademarks till you own them. Apple is kind of famous for taking over a significant portion of the music industry, despite a pre-existing agreement with Apple Corp never to do so. Not to mention launching the iPhone while Cisco still held the 'iPhone' trademark.
To pile on, there used to by a comedy interview show in Japan. They would bring on a celebrity and have them call their mother and buzz them if they fell back into their local accent. Every star got buzzed.
The point being people have different ways of speaking to different people.
Maybe another example is Hawaiians talking to each other vs to tourists
In Oct 2026, if you want this you just ask your favorite LLM "look at this repo, can you add windows support?". Or "I need an app that does XYZ on Windows" and especially for something this specific, targetted, and small you'll likely have a working app in 1-2 hrs if not < 5 minutes.
I'm not seeing how that would be a violation. Youtube has never been a "download files to my device" service. It has always been a "stream video from our servers" service. I don't see how the fact that they added the ability to save a file and gated it by a subscription would be a violation.
This isn’t about downloading videos for offline use but about background playback.
YouTube recently blocked the ability to play a video in the background (or with the screen turned off) unless you pay for premium. It just turns off the video if you leave the app, unlike other media on my iPhone.
I haven’t been able to do background play in YouTube without Premium for at least 4 years. I also recall finding Reddit threads of people having the same issue.
Yep, and I'm saying that those four years ago (or whatever time it was) I was convinced that it is against this specific App Store guideline, but alas Apple has approved it.
Just because someone broke the rule in the past, persisted in breaking the rule and is still breaking the rule today doesn't mean they get a free pass to break the rule.
AFAIK you can open the video in Firefox, which allows you to stream in the background. of course not that seamless, but at least there's still a work-around.
Question for passkey advocates, Is there is conformance test and is it comprehensive for all of a user's use cases (multiple devices, multiple passkey service providers, multiple accounts with the same service on the same device)
It the answer is "no" and you can ship an passkey implementation without passing a comprehensive conformance test then basically passkeys will always have issues. You can not get a million devs to do anything correctly unless you have a way to force them to do it. Given Google/Apple/MS are effectively gatekeepers (I know people will hate this idea) but, you could make it a requirement to pass a conformance test before the gatekeepers will issue a passkey. Same as cert authorities.
Anything else IMO is doomed to fail. More sites than not can't be bothered to use input type="email" or type="number" when all they accept is numbers or email. What hope do we have they'll use passkeys correctly?
