I don’t see how that makes them different from other companies in that period.

NuBus was an open standard, the ISA bus of PCs wasn’t. Neither were the Atari or Amiga buses.

As to AppleTalk: they could have chosen something else for networking, but I don’t see what they should have used instead of AppleTalk for networking. Ethernet existed, but used thick coax cable (twisted pair is from 1984, standardized in 1986. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_twisted_pair); token ring is of about the same time, but also proprietary, and wasn’t ready in time for the launch of the Macintosh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleTalk#History). TCP/IP existed, but it wasn’t clear that it would win the race, and it was overkill for the intended uses of AppleTalk.

The various operating system APIs aren’t less or more proprietary than what OS/2, Windows, Atari’s TOS, AmigaOS, and the various Unixes offered at the time (OpenGL wasn’t available yet; X Windows would have crawled on Mac hardware of the time even more than QuickDraw did, and wasn’t stabilized in 1984)

I also don’t see that they should have done things different after they made the choices they made for the 1984 Mac. They could have opened the hardware somewhere in the 1980s, but it isn’t certain that that would have been beneficial for them.

I think the only real difference is the openness of the PC hardware architecture, and that was accidental/unintended.
You agree on the big points, so i don't care to argue on the less big ones.
>For most people, buying, owning and then selling their home is the accepted and straightforward path to financial independence.

This commonly held wisdom seems to be a holdover from the pre-2008 days, and I wonder how much longer it will last.

Unless you're buying property in a coastal city, odds are good that your home value will, at best, stay the same year over year. If you buy a house in flyover country it might actually depreciate.

Add to that the costs of a mortgage, property taxes, repairs, buying/selling fees and home ownership seems like one of the worst possible investments to me.
At home I've got a couple of Eames Aluminum Group management chairs: http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/HermanMillerStore/b2c_3x4cro.... I tend to slouch, and these are very firm and force you into an upright posture.
Why would you assume they'd act rationally?
Those are great chairs, both to sit in, and look at. I have a similar chair in red fabric.
Mere engineers would be prosecuted long before CEOs for the totally-at-Justice-Dept-discretion crime of "insider trading".
I don't understand this argument. Let's put some numbers up:

Single: income starting at $130k a year. That's 7k/month after tax. Rent a room in SV for $1000 (or Berkeley), and spends $1000/month. That's still $5k/month in savings. If you're senior, that number goes up to $200k a year. That's $11,500. That turns into $9500/month in savings.

Couple: 2 income at combined $260k a year. that's $14k/month after tax. Rents a house in SV or berkeley at $3000/month. Spends $2000/month. That's $9000/month in savings.

etc
Which points exactly?
This question can have multiple meanings, for example:

1. What should we do with our lives.

2. Why is there life on this universe.

For question 1: I don't thing there's a single purpose that fits everyone. However, this doesn't mean that nothing matters and we are free to whatever we want - we are human beings after all, and there are some things that humans should not do. The obvious ones would be rape and senseless killing.

For question 2: life is just a thing that exists. Why do things exist? Why are there things in the universe, or even a universe at all? Truly mind blowing stuff in my opinion.

These 2 questions are probably related, not sure how.

No bank is going to hand out a first-time mortgage to someone when they are fifty-five.

Lots of people think they will pile up the savings while they rent. But life happens and they want to live somewhere nice in the present, so they end up making their landlord rich and no one else.

I am almost fifty. I now see life from the perspective of approaching retirement. At this point, if I were renting, I would be in deep trouble.

And forget this idea that you love your job and will just keep coding/growth hacking/whatever until you are seventy five...no one will want you around the office. This is just a myth people are constructing for themselves.
Sure, but PLUS loans (for undergraduates) are obligations of the parent, not the student. The parent must agree to take out the loan and the parent signs the MPN.

The parent can, of course, take out unlimited amounts of money if their credit qualifies them to, just like they could by going to the bank themselves and asking for a loan.
I also find `this` is terrible for linting. Most tools won't be able to figure you what you attached to `this` at runtime. It's a grab bag object ripe for bugs.

I think the point is the following:

There's more people affected negatively by irresponsible banks and student loans than those that who were affected negatively who worked for the banks. For example, I know more than a handful of people who were let go from Lehman and are doing just fine. In fact I literally just met someone who today is making a $500k salary. We still have people digging themselves out of debt because they lost everything (tangible and intangibles) due to the 2008 crisis.

> The American government is fractured and broken because American society is fractured and broken.

There's a great theory which is that federal politics is all rooted in local politics. In other words, the reason the federal government is full of assholes is because people let these people get elected at the local level and their natural progression is simply to move up through system to the federal level (usually passing it off as "well it just affects that one town, so what").

Are those minds the products of public schools, especially in the era where increased standardized testing has worked to hold back the best teachers from doing their jobs as well as many here will probably remember their favorite instructors doing?

Or are they a product of culture, from their parents and society at large, pushing them to accel independently of public education?
ESPP programs are fairly common, and usually a great decision because they yield a minimum 15% return on the final value of the investment at the end of the program period whether the stock goes up or down. If you sell immediately, you realize a minimum of 90% ARR over the program period. [1]

No need to keep it there if you just want to take your gains and walk.

Colleges are also full of students from public schools. America has plenty of good public schools (but also bad ones). America tend to be country of large differences and it shows in school results too.

Homeschooling parents love to use worst poorest least performing public school as a norm and best performing home schooled students as a norm.

Public education is good in the areas where the upper middle class live.

Old Greenwich, Cos Cob, and Riverside have great public schools because that's where all the IT professionals, quants, and middle managers move to raise their families. Those districts have access to many adults with an interest and ability to participate in the school community, and so the district ends up with a lot of extra resources.

But the hedge fund upper management send their kids to Brunswick School, Sacred Heart, and the like, and the district on the super rich and the poorer, primarily-Hispanic sides of town, has a poorer reputation.

I have spent a third of my life here now, grew all my professional connections (and closest friendships) here, understand the market spaces here better, and also just like to live here. My company's product primarily targets the US market and distance makes me lose context. My cofounders are American and live here, and while we are remote friendly since we don't even have an office (I mean I did it for two years), I want remote work to be an option, not forced upon me. The bandwidth of in person co-working sessions and convenience of time zones and meeting up with an hour's notice is obvious. But from a personal perspective, that this is where I grew into a professional adult and where I want to continue my career is more than enough reason.

>Don't you think that these maters should be solved in public so that at least it is publicly known that an accusation has been made?

Ideally, no, it would be settled in courts so that unsubstantiated allegations wouldn't damage the reputations of any innocents accused.

What I would like to see in public is all of these cases the police are ignoring and those investigators brought to task, because they are presumably the root of the rot in the legal system which makes it such that the only perceivable route of justice is instead through the court of public opinion. I fail to understand why this isn't the primary political thrust of activists regarding this issue, seeing as that's the part of this equation addressable by public policy.

Loss of trust and faith in the legal system is deadly to a society.. with that restored, these women would have justice, the perpetrators would be in jail where they belong, and the critics who call "witch hunt" wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
To this I'd add writing questions as you go through each chapter, then after finishing the chapter, answer the questions you come up with in as much detail as possible. This also helps force recall (and is supported by some cognitive psych studies) and, by doing so, memory consolidation. When I was TA'ing in grad school, this is a method I'd show my struggling students, and it almost invariably helped their grades.
That's a really good point. I'd love to see, and then not believe anyway, some sources for these claims.
It's exactly the sort of place where you'd find the baddest pokemon in the game.
don't understand. So you have no problem with those donations to foundations run by your political candidates?

The donations to the foundation are disclosed, and the foundation is run for a well-defined charitable purpose, subject to strict governance, and is it not a personal slush fund (especially not this one, which is probably the most scrutinized in the US, for obvious reasons). The fact that it accepted donations from tyrannies is indeed unsavory, but it was well documented and voters would have been able to make decisions based on this. Voters could have made the same sorts of judgements on the international dealings of the candidate’s opponent (tax returns aside). The idea that these sorts of personal/business dealings (by both candidates) are equivalent to a hostile foreign power undertaking covert activities to influence the outcome of the election and sow internal discord is incongruous, to put it mildly.

Who would be held guilty in this case? Would the USA government try to use extradition treaties to get a foreign national onto USA soil if they bought adverts for a candidate

I’m sure that, once the current political climate calms, there will be severe consequences, with bipartisan agreement, to make it clear to foreign entities that this sort of activity is unwelcome. Also, I doubt FB’s implicit mea culpa in TFA would have been produced if they weren’t terrified.

In any case, I bought in 2010 (not my first home) and so far the assessed value has doubled. Even if there is a housing "crash", I will probably lose only about 25% off that. By 2030, recessions or not, it will have probably gone up 4x. I'm not trying to rub it in your face, I'm merely suggesting this is still a great way to retire and you probably don't have a better plan.

> This only applies in a few areas of the country though.

To clarify slightly: this system used to apply throughout the country, but in the '70s local authorities were given the option to get rid of it, and instead have 'comprehensive' schools where everyone goes; almost all did.

Well, sort of. I believe that some authorities make all children sit the exam, and then give high scorers the option of going to grammar school. More authorities give children the option of sitting the exam, again giving high scorers the option of going to grammar school. Most areas don't have the 11+ at all.

On top of that, in the '90s the government gave all schools the option to be partially selective (ie selecting some fraction of pupils somehow, not by 11+), and some took it up; the option was withdrawn soon after, but the schools which had exercised it stayed selective.

Other schools and instead allocate school places by geographic proximity - which in the presence of better and worse schools, results in de facto selection by parental wealth, because houses near good schools are more expensive.

Oh, and there are also faith schools that can select by religion.

No, this doesn't make any sense. This is Britain.
Doesn't matter to the lenders, they've already written off the loan and reassigned it to government student loan debt collection at SLM.

This licensing thing is something the government can do when the loan gets reassigned to it during collections. They do other stuff, too. If you have property, they can put a tax lien on it. They can seize your tax refunds or any cash benefits disbursed by federal government programs, like Social Security. Pretty much, if there's something "government" can do to screw you over because you can't afford your loans, they do.
> People who are wealthy and famous like him take these measures because they fear for their family's personal security.

Whereas poor people are totally cavalier about their security? I think this is nothing more than a guy so rich that he can afford to do things that put his own privacy ahead of the rest of the community. This is that common delusion that the super rich have. They think they are super rich because they are special, and so need protection. The truth being that they are super rich because they work as hard as the top 50% but were insanely lucky. I'm starting to really dislike the Zuck
Yes that's what's known as freedom of speech.. yes I realize a platform like Facebook doesn't have to allow freedom of speech because it's not the government but why not instead say, hey this is what a lot of people seem to think and feel, why not figure out how we can get people on the same page and being less divisive, whether it be through education or whatever. A lot of tech products seem to just rot people's brains in my opinion, the constant vapid use of things like Snapchat and Instagram, for example, I find repulsive. Maybe the next generation of apps can find ways to engage people better in things that matter like learning more things that are of use and then we can have a more educated populace overall so the elites won't constantly feel the need to censor and curate the masses.

> Is Amazon forcing us to install their products

Vendor lock-in is a pretty powerful tool. They may not be forcing anyone to "install" their systems into AWS, but once they're installed, they're too difficult to "uninstall." A fundamental requirement of free markets is for customers to be able to leave incumbents for new companies with fresher products that present a better value - if customers de-facto can't leave AWS, then AWS has monopoly power over those customers.
