That's a really interesting question.

My experience is in playing Clarinet since I was about 10 years old, professionally for a year or two and more sporadically over the last 10 years. (I'm 50ish)

I can play clarinet (even now) without any difficulty, can (re)play music I've heard a couple of times (memory is getting worse as I get older) and sight read music fairly easily as long as it's not too fast or complex.

For the last 20 or so years, I've had access to a piano, and have attempted to teach myself how to play two handed. I can play melodies by ear, and add some simple chord accompaniment but have not a hope of reading two handed music to play.

Most other instruments, as long as I can master the technique for producing a decent sound and get my hands around the fingering, I can also play fairly successfully by ear. So I can pick up a guitar and pluck out a melody, pick up my daughters violin (groan) and squeak out someting that you can recognise. My technique sucks and I'm prob not doing it correctly. I can also do a pretty decent job of singing anything I hear.

My experience leads me to suspect that playing by ear is, like singing something you have heard, the natural way of making music. The only difference is that you need to have physical mastery of the sound making process, hence my difficulty with two handed playing piano as I've no experience with making music with each had playing something different.
The conclusions here seem to be based on a) a purely passive market, and b) a static amount of capital.

I’d like to see an analysis that offsets the potential inefficiency of a partially passive market with the gains to the economy from additional capital being available to invest.

Are we better or worse off with a market that is n% less efficient, but that has y% more capital from passive investors than a purely active market would have?

I’m seeing less and less developers buy Macs...
I do change something.
I've got Thinkpad T25 with linux on board as my next computer instead of mac.
I've got off iCloud Drive - replaced it with SyncThing + Dropbox combination (Dropbox to deliver stuff to iPhone).
I've got off from Apple Music - back to owning my music (I endlessly tired of "this album is not available in your country").
The only thing left to figure out is photos - but I think I'll just slap together couple scripts in bash to transfer them from iPhone whenever I connect it to my laptop.
No, we do not. We talked about this model in 2016 but without specifying publishers as consenting partners -- which was implicit and is the only way we might do such third-party ad slot filling in Brave (work under way with partners, e.g., Dow Jones Media Group). The ad slot owner, in this case the publisher, gets 70%; the user gets 15%.

We would not replace ads on page without both user and publisher consent.

We are focused first on user-private ads that go in the user's inventory (notification channel and private tab), paying the user in tokens which then flow by default to the user's top sites and creators on YouTube, Twitch, etc. These ads involve no publisher at all so we pay the user 70%. In either case: 1/ ad "inventory" owner gets 70%, way above the programmatic norm of 40% or much lower due to fraud; 2/ user gets at least as much as we do. HTH.

I was in undergrad and grad school in Grenoble where I had F. Maraninchi and P. Caspi as teachers for the synchronous programming and VLSI classes (embedded system track). We did a lot of Lustre. It's a pretty great way to get acquainted with synchronous programming and all the fun stuff that derives from it (cf. SDF, code generation, soft/hard real-time, and FPGA programming). Fun times.
The reason computers use energy is because transistors have a finite signal rise time and are bound by ohms law. This is unlikely to ever change.

I simply do not need such kind of authentication for myself, at least I do the best to avoid such need.

Try to think of a Plan9-like world, which means user-centered not "modern mainframe centered". We still need services, but there is no need to have them like today.
I also used to believe that privacy was only for spys but I have very quickly changed my position.

Gays, minorities, journalists, dissidents, whistleblowers etc are all being targeted and jailed in many countries in the world. And in China it's entire swathes of the general public. And so much of this is directly attributable to lax privacy and security.

And I don't know believe that there is a huge market for cheaper repairs of Macs. Most people are still just going to local service providers who are authorised by Apple anyway. Otherwise getting hold of parts can be difficult.
My opinion about Apple has changed recently. They're now actively promoting privacy and I am OK with trading repairability with privacy.

Also, Louis Rossmann on Youtube one of the most vile, deeply corrosive personalities out there and his audience enjoys the bashing of Apple left and right. He has essentially marketed himself as Anti-Apple and his message is always "Apple is Evil".
Pricing resources/companies/commodities/etc has value, it makes the economy more efficient allocating resources in the right place and motivating people to do things which are needed more.

Finance helps accomplish this but with overhead. Finance tends to have power over itself and there is little motivation to minimize itself because there isn't a third party checking its power.

So "finance" is a tax on everything everybody does. It has made itself complex enough that few people not profiting from it understand it, and it does a good job convincing the world it is necessary.

Your experience is exactly the reason why it exists to the extent it does today -- nobody can explain to a lay person why finance is a necessary evil nor what is wrong with it.

Bottom line: in making markets more efficient, the financial industry makes the economy as a whole a lot less efficient by siphoning off a huge chunk to feed itself.

To me, the interesting question is: if the market is mostly index funds, what does that do?

Lots of passive money means that the market is an amplifier for the decisions of those who choose to make their own decisions. Want $AMZN to have a little more market capitalization? Buy some, and the entire market is forced to follow you. Sell some, and they will follow you, too.

It is herd behavior (which can be quite beneficial), but it affords certain advantages to those wily enough to use the herd instinct for their own designs.
Apple isn't a planet. The only reason I have a relationship with them is because they offered a product that suited my needs.

Can someone point me to the exact laws or cases with precedent that would make Apple and Amazon's statements illegal if the Bloomberg article were true? I'm not doubting it, but I can't find much about this online. Pump and dump schemes, ponzi schemes, and insider trading are illegal, and those aspects of securities fraud are well documented online, but this more general "lying to the public" that these companies may or may not be doing has proved trickier to find precedence for. I am not a lawyer, and my only resource here is google, but I think there is an assumption at play that this form of lying is illegal, and I'm honestly not sure that it is.

I could be wayy of base here, but if its not illegal, than it would be pretty obvious what is going on.

In California, you cannot he fired for political activity. Not saying that his act was political activity, but if he is fired for it, it would be because it’s being viewed as a political activity.

I'd suggest a bit of reflection on this comment.

There is a bubble or perspective that derides everything popular as toxic, but I encourage you to think in degrees, and compare things.

For example, visit voat.co, and then 4chan, and then compare them to the sites you listed. And hell! compare them to your family discussions, and what you see on fox/cnn/msnbc. I bet you can find a spectrum of toxic content, and I bet the sites you listed aren't at the extreme toxic end.
Try to think about different scenarios: first not a nation vs nation attack but a simple dictatorship attack against some opponent, something like "hey see! This bad guy have done many criminal thing". Also think about what kind of situation we have today with anything based on few proprietary hardware and software commonly used anywhere.

After think about ancient Plan9 model which put your personal workstation at the center of the world and "services" only as "addition" to it. In this scenario need of auth, risk of phishing etc substantially vanish.
And if this were an optional service that Apple provided for security-conscious customers, then I don't think anybody would have a problem with it.
No just this one dude, Mohammed bin something. All he does is talk about cars and bitch about his dad. Apparently his dad is some big shot.
If you went to a financial advisor 30 years ago, they would have said "give me your money and I'll make you a portfolio". He/she would then have bought most of the S&P 500 or some other exchange in a diversified manner buying equities and bonds. They would have shifted around your allocations ever so slightly every quarter, buying some stocks and selling others. But really, the strategy was to buy and hold. Bonds were similar.

Is that not indexing under another name?
Apple rarely comments on anything. You can't make assertions based on that.
"By restricting final approval of hardware replacement to a vetted subset of all humanity, you ensure that it’s vastly more difficult for the vast majority of malicious humanity."

This is a foolish statement.

Any bad actors with power can just add themselves to that subset of humanity - this is the same reason we dont add software special backdoors that only special sets of humanity can unlock.
Speak with your wallet - stop buying Apple products. Tim + the shareholders would notice that.

To stick with Dan Carlin, I think another applicable episode is Prophets of Doom, detailing the story of the city of Munster during the German Wars of Religion. Populism, charismatic leaders, conflict of neighbor against neighbor. The current situation has more of the feel of a religious schism to me than something like the Civil War, which was a largely regional division.

Indeed, but smaller transistors (less capacitance, thus less charge transfer) and lower voltages can reduce the power consumption of digital circuits. Also, more efficient software could reduce the amount of switching that has to occur. And I suppose one has to consider the power consumption of some peripherals such as LCD back-lighting.

Long ago I had an internship where we were developing a battery powered microprocessor based gadget. We had a prototype with a knob for the clock speed, and we slowed down the clock until the thing started being noticeably slow. Then we chose fixed components for the same clock speed. That's how we optimized battery life.

Note that my thinking is based on relatively simplistic CMOS processors. I don't know how this applies to higher performance computers in cell phones and laptops, with dynamic memory and other goodies.
It's a tradeoff between owner repairability and security.

And Apple is betting that the second is more important. This isn't a black/white issue. It's which shade of grey you prefer.
What about protecting our computers from Apple? I’m far more concerned about them dictating our future than China.
> All this action does is remove options for those of us who do wanna fix their own machines.

I don't see how this removes any choices. It's still possible to buy other non-Apple hardware that doesn't have those restrictions.
The repair market for Apple products isn't huge precisely because Apple has done everything it can to kill it.
> My takeaway is that you did not even read what I wrote:

> a) I said I quit the circus 15 years ago. I did not claim 15 years of game dev experience.

Just a note on this misunderstanding: you wrote "I have been part of this circus 15 years ago", which was ambiguous because 'have been' is normally used for an action or state of affairs that is ongoing (or has just finished). So the reader either skipped over the 'ago' and read the sentence as 'I have been part of this circus [for] 15 years', or noticed that you'd made an error and had to guess whether it was 'ago' or 'have been'.
In Asia you can get an iMac sad upgrade done for $10. You just supply the ssd. If you buy the disk from the shop the margin is tiny.

You can get an iPhone screen repaired for peanuts. Apple quoted $190 to do it. Shop did it for $95.

Speakers replaced on a MacBook Pro? $45.
The market already doesn't allocate capital. Companies almost never issue new shares, indeed they buy them back. Given that dividends are also trifling, the market is mainly a large scale gambling scheme. Not entirely, but mainly.
So, with more of this happening, I have a bigger question for HN.

Why does used Apple hardware command a premium, even years later? Is this really come down to status?

I don't think I need to discuss the anti-user features that Apple does. This crowd is more than aware.
You're committing the most common sin of thinking-about-security: considering possibilities without adding the weight of probabilities.
If I had to guess, this is due to a combination of only being a few years old and marketing (initially, the major version number was 0).
The people in charge of these firings are executives like Zuckerberg and Kaplan. It's completely disengenous to phrase the argument as "should this happen at all?" when it's really "should executives be allowed to punish workers for their personal life choices, while not holding themselves to the same standards?"
I did the same in grade 7 on an Apple that was shared between two classrooms, and almost never used. I probably used it for an hour that year doing different diagrams in LOGO. Never used any of the conditionals or list processing features of the language though. For someone into computers at that age who had tinkered with BASIC, it was unforgettable.
I think they will never find the perfect capital allocation algorithm or solve the economic calculation problem.

There's just too many self-interested market actors to possibly be able to predict what their future wants will be to throw out the function that the entrepreneur provides, those who predict future wants correctly make money and those who don't lose their investment.

Unless, of course, all they want is a static model of current consumption at the expense of human progress.
I looked into this a bit and zeroed in on the implementation of sine/cosine computation, which is pretty critical for turtle graphics.

I didn't follow every last instruction, but it looks like it used a 91 (or maybe 92)-element LUT of 4-byte floats, split into 2 halves. This allows direct look-up of the SIN of every angle in the first quadrant, that is 0 to 90 degrees, plus the value for the next 1-degree angle.

It looks like after looking up the two precalculated values, linear interpolation is then performed between them.

(Also, the FP numbers are in a format that must have been easy to do software arithmetic on. Leading byte is exponent, with bias of 126; next 3 bytes are sign and mantissa, with no implied 1-bit. This has just a hair less precision than a modern 32-bit 'float'. 7A 47 7C 2D is the entry for SIN(1), and is equal to 0.017452407... while double precision SIN(1) is 0.0174524064372835...)

Next, I bodged together a version of what I assume the linear interpolation step does. In both double precision and simulated LOGO precision, the maximum relative error is about .00005 and the maximum absolute error is about .000045, which would be awful hard to detect when plotting to an entire display with about as many pixels as an application icon on your modern high-dpi telephone. On the other hand, that's only 4 correct digits.

This is an interesting contrast to the Commodore BASIC implementation of sin/cos that I'm familiar with. It used a fairly high degree polynomial, which might have gotten a few more accurate digits (5 digits for sin(1.5 degrees)!) but is sure to be quite a bit slower than 2 table lookups, a multiply, and a few add/subtracts. (plus range reduction)

Yeah, and a bit like FUD, too.

I'm still unclear how a public release would be any better for said saboteur, compared to code escrow where they could potentially be the sole beneficiary of it. If someone is willing to go to those lengths to get access to your code, do you expect an escrow fee is going to stop them?

Off the top of my head, "Balkan Ghosts" by Robert D Kaplan might fit the latter criteria. If you're willing to stay within the realm of the revolutionary but stray a bit further north, "The Magic Lantern: The Revolution of 1989 Witnessed in Warsaw, Budapest, Berlin, and Prague" by Timothy Garton Ash is good.
