Unsurprisingly, you did not address the point I made. The surgical separation of private-property, political power, and plutocracy that you're making is a fantasy in which they're somehow not deeply intertwined and interdependent from start to finish.

Also do yourself a favour and never assume that your US libertarian bubble definition is the de facto standard around the globe. Europe has a long and dark history of the kind of (neo-)feudalism that you're peddling, it's not hard to spot.

It's usually said with "flies" rather than "bees".

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar is a well-known English proverb. The literal meaning being that you have flies in your home, you will have better success catching them with honey than with vinegar. The broader meaning is that in life, you will have more success if you go about things with sweetness than with acidity. (Though I've heard that--despite the proverb--vinegar actually does work better than honey at catching fruit flies.)

> "Form over function" is not "Apple's way". Apple's way is function, period, paragraph.

I like Apple's design, but that's...definitely not true. You could charitably say that Apple's goal is a seamless marriage of form and function, and they do that better than most. But they have always cared more about aesthetics than any other important developer, of hardware or software.

My mum went from Windows Phone to iPhone without issue. I didn't have to teach her anything about the iPhone. To me that suggests either Windows Phone / iOS are similar (they aren't) or intuitive.

Some of both. Machine harvested grapes have a lot of field run, leaves and twigs, etc, and also the grapes are not as gently handled. So you at least have to keep the larger pieces of cruft out of the fermentation vats. But marketing image is also a big part of it, rightly or wrongly, which is all top-line dollars, less cost of harvesting crew, of course, but it pencils out. We are talking premium wines here, not two-buck-Chuck.
I guess I was hoping for a more informative answer. Are there at least categories of GCs, such that a VM could provide the n main GC types and most languages would be able to choose the appropriate ones? Or is GC very specific to each language?
It's not like typing at all. Typing is fairly obvious: hit the button with the letter you want, and it will always be in the same place, so maybe you don't have to look too often; anyway lots of people will teach you to type. Cute cats (paws), Mario, Mavis Beacon.

How can you learn to press and hold , or press harder, or shake the phone, or whatever else when there's no manual, you don't even know there's some other way of interacting, there's no getting started video, etc. I firmly believe that if companies actually wrote a manual for their software, they would ocassionaly make things more obvious, so it would be easier to write the manual.

Yes, a lot of people wouldn't read the manual, or wouldn't understand it, but not providing a manual means those few that would read it can't.

And that's fine, you have other options available to you. Apple's target demographic prefers simplicity first, convenience second, with niche features way down the line... and Apple delivers.

Personally, I prefer the Android ecosystem, and honestly I'd very much prefer even more control than that. In fact, I'm really excited about the Librem 5 project, which is pretty much the exact opposite of Apple. However, many of my friends prefer the Apple experience.

> I’m suggesting that your meritocracy doesn’t exist

Nothing ideologically pure exists - technically there are no democracies in the world either, because, eg, places like the US dilute the will of the masses with the court system (which is not democratic). It is still a pretty democratic country.

> if your organisation is structured to exclude people who may (and likely do) have contributions of merit, it is not a meritocracy

Sure it is. That is like saying you can't have a democracy in Australia if people in Tanzania who aren't Australian citizens, because a a palce ruled-by-people is excluding people. It is reasonable to argue that excluding people who have great potential is a bad idea, which it is, but you can still have a meritocracy.

> Then the question is simple - who do you exclude? People who abuse others, or the people they abuse?

No, that isn't the question at all. The question is simple and it is "how do we support the people making the greatest technical contributions?". In an extreme case, that might mean putting up with some off-color characters who happen to be inspired technical experts.

It isn't perfect. What is? But that is what meritocracies do.

The TS team implemented the TS parsing support in Babel. You are correct that the TS compiler is still needed for the typechecker, however.
For a good example of how reporters can be mislead, or can mislead themselves by buying too heavily into a narrative, and not examining alternatives with enough scrutiny, read about the Killian Documents Controversy (about George W Bush's military service, reported by Dan Rather 60 Minutes); or read about "A Rape On Campus" (the Rolling Stone article that was retracted in its entirety):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killian_documents_controversy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Rape_on_Campus

In both cases, it seemed to me that the reporters involved crafted a story in their heads about what happened, and then only sought information that confirmed their story while ignoring information that contradicted it. The Duke Lacrosse case is an example of the same thing happening in a criminal prosecution:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_lacrosse_case

Another theme that I've seen is experts giving an interview about some very specific/narrow topic, which is then spun, taken out of context, or generally misquoted by reporters and presented as something different. This happened with document verification in the Killian controversy, and also seems to have happened with this Bloomberg story, according to another comment in the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18278023 . In the Killian case, document examiners explicitly told CBS that they were relying on poor material that could not be authenticated (see Wikipedia section "Response of the document examiners"), but CBS went ahead and characterized the documents as having been authenticated by experts.

You're being weirdly hostile about this.

I like Apple's design for the most part, and I enjoy a good comprehensive manual as much as the next guy, but the expectation these days is that software should be self-teaching. Presenting the user with an incomprehensible pile of options is bad, but so is only giving them a tiny subset of practical functionality. Good design presents the common/important options front and center, then lets power users drill down into advanced settings if they want. And all that should be at least nominally discoverable with recourse to the manual.

Get people onto unlimited data plans with a limited amount of fast data. Most (all?) US carriers have a plan like that, although I don't know how common they are overseas. You can usually pick how much fast data you want, and if you go over, it's not the end of the world. Sometimes I've had phones that didn't have matching lte bands, so the 'slow' data rate was faster than what I could manage anyway.
That's a different problem.

The original author and main developer, Dave Reveman, started working on other projects for Novell (Silverlight, etc.), then joined Google, where he worked on ChromeOS compositing (obviously) and, more recently, on Crostini. He's a really crazy dude, even outside of computing.

With Novell out of the picture, IIRC the project was forked, rewritten and merged a couple of times. Canonical ended up driving most of the development since. Last time I tried it, a year or two ago, it still had those cracktastic special effects, e.g. the flames circling the pointer when you activate the "Show mouse" shortcut.

IMO this ship has sailed. It’s pretty clear society enjoys cheap stuff quite a bit more than anyone anticipated. The cost of the way we live is insane but we just like it too much.

That plus the fact we’ll all be dead in < 100 years and someone else is going to pay the price means that nothing meaningful is going to change.

I've not used iOS, but I assume it keeps track of which app uses how much dafa, the same as Android and Windows phone do?

If your phone knows about your data plan, it could prompt you when you're using data at a problematic rate -- although special pricing does make things weird. Anyway, it could have a button to not show for that app / ever again in case you don't care.

Apple would very much like you to have the experience that apps do not change when you leave them. There are a couple ways that apps break this model, though: if they use a lot of memory, iOS will kill them in the background. In any case, apps are supposed to have state restoration to get back to where they were when you last left it, but few apps implement this correctly.

> Some apps don't allow me to open a url in Chrome, for some reason I have to do it in Safari. And why can't I delete Safari altogether? How's it's different from Microsoft and IE in the 90s?

Safari is the system browser. I believe the difference from Microsoft is that iOS is not a monopoly?

I'm super confused -- what you're describing isn't a quorum read/write scenario -- what do you mean by "a wins"? Also where is the prepare phase for 2 phrase commit/any consensus algo? Replica A shouldn't be reporting an unacknowledged transaction to coordinators -- the write hasn't been quorum acknowledged. TX is not considered committed until it reaches a majority of nodes. You are right that if you have a network partition you're in trouble, but that ends in lack of progress, not loss of serializability.

We must be talking about different things because I can't find any literature that has reached the conclusion that serializability is impossible in distributed transactions? Can you point me to that?

Also, do you have any thoughts on the literature[0] that contradicts what you're saying? I'm not an expert but unless I'm not misreading english serializability is possible with quorum reads and writes.

> In a new algorithm for maintaining replicated data, every copy of a replicated file is assigned some number of votes. Every transaction collects a read quorum of rvotes to read a file, and a write quorum of wvotes to write a file, such that r+w is greater than the total number of votes assigned to the file. This ensures that there is a non-null intersection between every read quorum and every write quorum. Version numbers make it possible to determine which copies are current. The reliability and performance characteristics of a replicated file can be controlled by appropriately choosing r, w, and the file's voting configuration. The algorithm guarantees serial consistency, admits temporary copies in a natural way by the introduction of copies with no votes, and has been implemented in the context of an application system called Violet.

Has this paper been refuted? In addition to this there's literally the whole section on distributed serializability[1].
