It seems equally intuitive that investment drives the economy.

The economic principle you're looking for is "velocity of money". If you think of a GDP in terms of a multiplier in how often/fast money circulates, then you can analyze whether investment or spending is more important.

The second economic principle to look into after that is "marginal propensity to consume".
ripgrep wasn't released until late September last year or so, so it's missing a couple months of events based on that. Plus, it needed time to become popular. :-)

Thanks for the kind words!

The best teachers are the ones who had to learn the most. People who just "get it" are bad teachers because they didn't have to go through a process to understand.
We're working on it. What we had was great for us, but pretty complex and not really upstreamable.

I'm almost done with re-writing it to use the same M_NOTREADY mechanism as async sendfile, and to do all the framing in the kernel, rather than doing the sendfile() framing in-kernel and sosend() in userspace. This removes the majority of the code, and makes it quite a bit simpler. The downside is that it depends on my vectorized mbufs. Hopefully we'll have something public in the next few months.
> "legal tender for all debts public and private"

Government accepting payment for public debts in legal tender... is taxes. They're the first market maker for a fiat currency. It's certainly possible to just run printing presses, but that typically leads to hyperinflation and the replacement of the currency.
If you use closed platforms tightly controlled by large companies, it's not surprising that things like this will happen.

Meanwhile, on my desktop I use a downloader script that continues to work flawlessly for some of those usecases described in the article; it doesn't use the "official API", but mimics what a browser would do, so YouTube would have to stop working in the browser to stop that from working.

Love is important, but it is not the only factor. I think we both agree that future plans, e.g. whether or not one wants to have children, are important factors that should not be overlooked. I believe that economic status, religious and political beliefs and affiliations, risk tolerance, etc. are also important considerations. None of them is a deal-breaker, but these are all things one should carefully consider before getting married.
That said, the banks + federal oversight encourage money to be created out of thin air, which makes it easy to spend money, and makes it impossible to incentivize deferred consumption. So, everyone spends money, no limits on it, and we all get to ride the waves between economic booms and economic crashes.

Honest question -- how does the Austrian school reconcile the slow growth of the US economy during and immediately after QE with enormous corporate warchests such as Apple's cash stockpile?

I'll accept that some of this is tax shenanigans to defer US repatriation... but only some of it.
I visited their office. Stiffest interview I've had in memory. One guy transcribed my answers on his laptop "so there's no question about what you said, and we can analyze your answers later". Nothing negative ever said, and when I asked for feedback, I got a glare. Choice quote: "Some of this security stuff is just too much, man." I got the impression that they were just going through the motions of interviewing and not very serious about hiring.

From playing KSP (so not an expert of course), having either of the boosters out of sync would cause the center of mass to shift to one side (due to imbalance of fuel), which will induce torque on the rocket. That being said, this should be easy to compensate for by simply reducing the trust on one of the boosters.
"BeOS would not be able to run Classic MacOS PowerPC/68K apps. They'd have to use some sort of emulator if Apple went with Be."

That is exactly how Mac OS X ran classic MacOS apps in the early days. It was called "classic environment" or "blue box".

It was removed after OS X 10.4, as by that point most "classic" apps had been updated to the Carbon API and recompiled as native OS X apps.
I believe this is a huge shortcoming of how math is taught. You can bet your last dollar that the teacher doesn't think it's about tricks. But the students are convinced that it is. Students and teachers are both exposed to the exact same material but end up with diametrically opposing conclusions.

Disclosure: I taught college freshman math for one semester, long ago. It was a course where I was supplied with a syllabus and exams, and the students could buy a packet of exams from previous years.

The tricks are what you remember from doing problems over and over, and recognizing patterns. There is also a higher level pattern that isn't mentioned in class, but is vital to solving problems: You learn to identify each problem with a particular chapter or section in the textbook, and then solve the problem by recalling the methods in that section. This is of course a grotesque distortion of what math is, but will get you through the lower level college math courses with good grades.

The other skill is being able to perform the manipulations quickly enough that you can try one or two before hitting on one that works.

On a tangent, it's perhaps symptomatic of how unfocused Apple was for much of the 90s that they already had "the OS of the future" in the form of A/UX 3. Which was a full SysV Unix implementation with a Mac OS compatibility layer.

You got a *ix implementation of the Finder as your GUI, which could also run native System 7 binaries as well as Unix applications.

Of course, it was killed for OS 8 (if you worked for Apple or a reseller at the time you'll know how hopelessly over-optimistic that was - if you didn't, it was supposed to be a brand new microkernel, running a multi-user OS written from the ground up as a Mac OS workalike, plus a server for running System 7 apps. There was even talk of being able to run a Windows environment. Needless to say, the MacOS 8 that actually shipped was not that plan) and Taligent/Pink.

Then they bought NeXT and got... a BSD Unix running the NeXTStep userland and an MacOS Classic compatibility later.
4/100 countries on that list seem like a pretty big anomaly to me.
Ofc, geometrical proofs are technically algebraic proofs (due to Homotopy type theory) but that's neither here nor there.
As much as it sucks for the author, if you're providing a service or app on top of another service (like providing a better way to browse a website's content or API) you're really at the mercy of that service provider, especially if you've registered to use their API. If they want to squash your service/app, they can either just revoke your API access, or just find some violation of their TOS, or just create one with a TOS update. Then they can report you to the respective app store (App Store, Google Play Store) and most likely get it removed. Without looking at the Youtube TOS, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a section that explicitly disallows paid apps besides Youtube's, probably to prevent competitors for their Youtube Red app.

Although I wouldn't have bought it since the plain Youtube app is fine for me, it looks like he put a lot of work and soul into the app, and I feel for him. I also appreciate the level headedness of the statement, explaining the situation without much vitriol, although I'm surprised he doesn't mention anything about one of the issues Google likely had, which was ad-blocking (see edit below). Good luck to him on his next project.

Edit: It looks like the author of the app likely got in a lot of trouble with Google for not having ads when playing videos, on top of the other issues, a commenter below points out. I think it's a little disingenuous of the author to not put this in his statement as I'm sure Google wasn't happy about it (and probably said so in the emails) and it's likely another violation of the TOS (and I'm surprised they haven't pulled/didn't pull API access). What I said still stands, but he should be more direct about the issues that Google had.
This sounds like a Charles Stross novel. One that I'd like to read!
There's a fascinating argument in 'The Lessons of History' that suggests we simply haven't accepted, as a species, that inequality is an inherent characteristic. We are quite purposely endowed with varying capabilities.

One of the essential patterns of history is the vacillation between freedom and equality as societal ideals. A freer society is a more unequal society, and vice versa. It's a fairly paradoxical and nuanced idea because we (particularly Americans) don't tend to think of those principles as existing in tension with one another.

Furthermore, once a civilization reaches a certain threshold, it follows that a great majority of people become unproductive deadweight. Technology accelerates that deterioration.

These aren't terribly inspiring human truths, but I find they do hint at the futility of bemoaning the condition or hoping for emergent and sweeping policy solutions.

Better to empathize where possible, feel eminently thankful for our good fortune, and donate whatever surplus of time and capital we might have to a helpful cause.

It looks like, as long as the app can use the API, it'll stay updated for iOS 11 (the author states he updated it as soon as he could), and so it'll likely function for a while.
It's way past time that we start dealing with homelessness as the national problem it is rather than leaving it to cities who are ill-equipped to deal with it. Cities like San Diego only have homelessness problems because they have weather that's amenable to living outdoors. The vast majority of their homeless population was born elsewhere. It's unconscionable that we leave the job of providing services for these people to these cities. When people are made homeless by hurricanes and flooding, we don't question the need to help and we give FEMA free license to spend what's necessary to provide support. And yet when it comes to the long-term homeless population, we act like there's no moral obligation to help. These kinds of outbreaks are just a natural and expected outcome when we take such a localized approach to homelessness.

I think what you have said here sums up the problem quite concisely. They might as well add core-foundation, qt-core and stllib based executables to the test for 'c' vs 'c++' to give a better cross section.

I get what you're saying, but profit creates the same motivation for vertical integration.

If there are two layers in my coffee bean acquisition I'm losing the profit made at every layer, so of course I would want to own those layers and capture that profit before we even add a 1% tax.

But vertical integration comes at a risk, which is why only the biggest players will attempt it.

Now, add a 1% transaction to those two layers. You're now losing 2.01%. But at each layer you're already losing 15% net profit made by your supplier. I'm not sure you would change your perspective on vertical integration for 2% when you're already leaving 15-20% on the table.
I've always thought "flat" designs were created out some ideological belief in minimalism taken to an extreme. Their popularity born from a trendy departure of decades of UI and UX research. That form > function.

Let's learn, and continue making things for humans, not ideologies. That form should equal function, but only after it's passed UAT.
Something underlies the value of bitcoin (proof of work), gold (rarity, utility, beauty, portability), cigarettes (addiction). Think through what underlies the value of fiat currencies like the US dollar. I'm with the chartalists [0]/Modern Monetary Theorists [1], believing that a government's ability to tax is the anchor for the currency's value.

This is fucked up. I really liked the app. No google, I dont want to pay you 10 usd monthly so that I can listen to music on your app when it's in the background.
I've been delighted to install casks using `brew cask install X` where X is some obscure program that I thought brew cask would never have bothered adding. Stuff like that dazzled me about brew cask, so I hope it never goes away even under the guise of maintenance burden.

(It's pretty easy to contribute your own formulas, too! The checklist is pretty small.)

That said, I've occasionally run into a broken `brew cask install X`, so I get that maintenance is a thing. But in that situation it seems best to let someone else notice that and contribute a patch rather than remove it entirely. I understand that might eventually lead to a large percentage of broken casks though.
Sure, if you ignore the massive effort that was being invested in revamping Solaris to be more FOSS friendly and engage with the community prior to oracle's sun takeover..

I suspect if the takeover hadn't happened, the FOSS systems landscape would look a whole lot different. Like what, I don't know, but definitely different.

What's the M&A tax benefit? Do you mean tax-deductible interest payments on loans used to finance the purchase, as used by private equity?
That depends on which aspects you compare: it took OS X until ~2010 and pervasive SSDs to become anywhere close to the non-blocking user experience the BeOS I/O scheduler delivered on mid-to-late-90s hardware, and BeFS's indexed metadata is what Spotlight wants to be when it grows up.

On the other hand, networking lagged far behind and while you could get into arguments about respective API quality there's no question NextStep was more comprehensive.
That's because not much has changed with the OS between Windows 7 and Windows 10. That's a big reason why many people are staying with Windows 7: It works just as well, is (currently) just as secure, doesn't spy on you as blatantly as Windows 10 does, and doesn't randomly reboot when you don't want it to.
Yeah, I'm using it on iOS 11 and it works great (although I don't love the new native video UI Apple is going with) - my concern is that YT will be dicks and kill access through the API. I sure hope not.
youtube-dl is the best media download suite I've seen. It worked for any video hosting site I've ever pointed it at, and it even has options to use ffmpeg to recode the video or extract the audio track. In addition, NewPipe also does a similar thing (it's a free software Android app that has much more features than the official app -- such as playing in the background and as an overlaid tile).

> Wealth provides financial security to an even greater degree than high current income.

Yes, but unless you're talking about a wealth tax in excess of 10%, this is not going to change. Someone with multiple millions of dollars in diversified investments will always be financially secure, unless we're considering drastic measures like a communist revolution.

Regarding all the benefits of wealth you mentioned, note how these benefits only arise when the investor liquidates his investment. Hence my point that instead of taxing wealth when it is being productively invested, tax the wealth at the point of liquidation instead.

I'm also in favor of high estate taxes, but that's an entirely different tangent.
They decided to have crazy small upgrade timeframes. Instead of 'once every 18 months' on average, they decided to go every 12 months.

I cannot think of a single enterprise environment (including education) that upgrades to the latest macOS version on release day (or year) anymore.

Many I know are still running El Capitan and will move to macOS Sierra when High Sierra comes out due to core apps no longer working / lacking updates to the latest macOS offering.

"... not all drivers work..."

The question I have always had is what would happen if BSD project committers were allowed and enabled to write drivers for Apple hardware.

There must be many reasons why Apple cannot sell hardware with full specs to enable open source developers to write drivers, but being an idiot I could not tell you what those are. As I see it, any value Apple adds to the hardware is in how they select components and build the computer. I fail to see how controlling who can write drivers adds value for the user.

The "hardware/software integration" is great. Up until the company starts using their position as exclusive "integrator" to lock down products and dictate how those products can be used after they have been sold.

Hackintosh is a noble effort but it differs from what I want. I do not want an Apple BSD-like OS to run on any non-Apple hardware. I want a non-Apple BSD OS to run on any Apple hardware. This will not happen, but I still think about it and wonder.
When depending upon a 3rd party content in violation of their TOS, it's bound to happen & especially when it's monetised.

It's the users who are really getting screwed, probably many of them still don't know the difference between official app and an 3rd party app. The users are of grave risk under such conditions, where if a 3rd party app developer of a famous service decides to sell the app to someone; they could easily pish the unsuspecting user's login credentials.

In this case, the developer took the right call to bring down the app. I hope his future endeavours are just as successful without using 3rd party content.
Nice perspective from Gary V. Thanks for sharing.
In my experience, all of the AppleTV apps suck, but YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu are the most egregious. I suspect they're all required to use the same alien design specification.

Slightly offtopic, althought maybe not: Is it any political party's goal to close all tax loop holes, so as to virtually eliminate the possibility of another Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos, at least on their scale?
This strikes me as too facile to be particularly useful.

First, it's much easier to get a rough idea of how many people states have killed than markets, to be sure. But many wars are fought and nations are conquered (and, for that matter, created) for market-driven reasons: oil, tea, diamonds, slaves, to name a few egregious examples off the top of my head. Millions of people have died throughout history that would not have if states were not acting to protect, expand, or create markets.

Second, while it's probably harder to get a rough idea of how many people states have saved than markets have, the number is not inconsequential. I certainly wouldn't suggest states are forces for unrequited good--there's copious valid criticism of them across the political spectrum--but I would suggest that they're hardly forces for unrequited evil, either.

The person above isn't saying "everyone will be using linux," but rather "(s)he will be using linux." There's a big difference there. Nowadays since most applications run in a browser, it's absolutely possible to switch over to linux without much hassle. The stranglehold that Windows had on the OS world has weakened significantly in the last decade.
