> it's certainly unfair competition but still not a monopoly

I agree - which is why I specifically did NOT call it a monopoly.

> When you paid for the iPhone you also paid for the services bundle that you bought as a package....

You're still missing my point:

> And even Spotify has a choice. They can shaft Apple and become Android only, since Android has 85% of the market. The reason they're not doing it right now I assume is because they would also shaft themselves, the AppStore might bring a very big chunk of their revenue (historically iOS users are bigger spenders).

EXACTLY. Thus Spotify effectively doesn't have a choice. It's pay Apples tax or don't have support at all.

This is compounded when you factor in that the in-app sales that Apple wants to take a cut from for businesses like Spotify are sales that Apple's had no stake in. Since you like car metaphors: it's like a taxi driver buying a car and the the dealer expecting to take a cut from all the taxi fairs even though the dealer's involvement ended the moment the car rolled off their forecourt.

> I don't think it ever occurred to anyone to call this a monopoly.

Again, I never called the App Store a monopoly. Others might have but I deliberately didn't because I'm already aware that it legally is not a monopoly. However that doesn't mean they don't still have total control over app sales on their own platform - legal terms aside.

The costs of building your company's admin panel
I was in a team with a very talented competitive programmer guy. He came up with solutions for some pretty tough problems I couldn't wrap my head around.

Fantastic programmer right?

The other 99% except hardcore algorithmic optimizations, like structuring code, creating simple code, naming variables, splitting code into classes/functions and refactoring? No clue about any of that. All he produced was "read-only" and had many glaring problems.

It wasn't only during competitions either, he used the same style for assignments. Turns out he got shafted by the assistants and then he copied answers from another student (yes he got caught).
That's politics for you. Only address the issues that are favorable for you, ignore the rest.

I really don’t think Google knows what they really want to achieve with Fiber - otherwise they’d have figured out the right way to roll it out years ago. They also bought a separate company, Webpass, that does “fixed wireless” (wireless to the building using a pretty big antenna, about the size of a stadium light, building is wired from there), and that has also been rolling out very slowly.
I said being made whole. Justice takes time.
With regard to the story-telling approach to discipline...My mother told me that if I didn't brush my teeth that small birds and lizards would come in the night and eat the sugar off my teeth, but also accidentally eat some of the enamel and eventually I would be left with blackened triangular stumps.

That worked pretty well and retained surprising effectiveness even after I was absolutely clear that no such thing would happen.

There are buttons for most common operations so yes.

There are also voice commands so yes.

In the case of climate control you can use muscle memory if you really want to, to hit a button always ready in the same place on the edge of the screen, and then use the hardware buttons from there, so yes. Personally I would glance at the bottom edge of the screen (center) while approaching the button with my finger, but you don’t have to do this, and you can easily do it with a flick of they eye while traffic is in a calm pattern, at a moment of your choosing. It’s not like your eyes need to wildly search the screen for the button... it’s right there in a known fixed place.

People have such far out misconceptions about Tesla cars. It’s bizarre.

You mean 940Mbps up and down isn’t “full speed”?

So did you sneak into almost any room in my gigabit wired house and do a speed test?

I have a wired computer in my office and two 4K AppleTVs and they all report 900Mbps+ up and down.

My son’s wired PS4 reports around 600Mbps.

I also bet that AT&T won’t abandon my neighborhood and become uninterested like Google does for basically everything in three years.

I supercharged an S a few times and noticed that you could throttle the charging if you want. Seems reasonable to balance changing rate with how much time you have. For similar reasons I recommend avoiding the natural inclination to get the more powerful charger possible at home.

I use x2go actively for all my servers. It is very fast, even over slow connections (much better performance then VNC and RDP used to have) -- thanks to great compression techniques (so do not expect 256 colours when connecting over GSM network). It is a lovely piece of (OSS!) software.
I thought the same when I got to this point but I wondered if and how much real damage this does. Fearing things on its own shouldn't be a bad thing. The repelling part is probably that you're lying about what children should fear. Regarding the ocean monster, would it really be less scary for a child to describe in detail the act of drowning, how you last moments have to feel (let's just assume for a moment we can get a 3yo to fully grasp it)?

I think everyone is told a bunch of (in the West, admittedly less dramatic) lies during their childhood to prevent you from doing stupid things. But does that really mess you up in a bad way, or is the average child able to handle this and gradually find out the truth while growing up?
> Spotify's early days were entirely dependent on the mobile marketplace

Spotify's earliest days were before smartphones. I had Spotify on my computers before they'd even released an iPhone app.
The EPA testing is well known to return lower numbers than the EU version. Generally it seems like the EPA numbers are pretty good for electric cars. Without trying, consumers are pretty close. If you are careful you can beat them. The EU numbers on the other hand tend to be overly optimistic.

Every now and again you realize that US government actually does a lot of stuff right.
Let me try to repeat your argument: whenever something is morally allowed for an individual, the moral system must ensure that the individual actually can do it.

This does not stand on its own, you need to provide a good argument why a moral system should be designed such that everything which is allowed can also actually be done. In particular, because our current system is not designed that way.

And even if you find such an argument, we end up with a moral dilemma, as long as you can't argue that buying is morally good in itself.
The 30% cut for the App Store is logical after reading this PR
It’s like the free tier in Spotify

A free tier that access the stream and the premium pay for more features and that money cover the whole system

the Apple premium feature is the payement system that’s used by developers to collect payment

It’s like Spotify don’t want to pay stripe or PayPal for using their payment solution
I haven't driven a car with only touch controls, but I bet you would say the same thing about phones. And I have used phones with touchscreens, so I know they are worse than physical controls.

> Imagine no longer finding value in a person who has started and then sold a company.

This is a great point. One could imagine comparing two candidates for a job, one had started and sold a company, the other just coming out of school. For the meritocracy total-denier the two candidates have equal prospects - since it must have been luck that the one candidate was able to build and sell their company. In practice this is completely false, the candidate that sold their company is light years better than any given recent grad.
That's because APT serves the user rather than the developed.

As a sysadmin, of one box or 100k boxen, I'd have a hell of a lot less apprehension about installing a DEB than an RPM. Thanks largely to Debian Policy, which governs how packaages will behave.

The fact that Debian has an order of magnitude more in-repo, in-distro packages also counts for something.

As well as the fact that I can start with a minimal installation and add to it only what the box actually needs, a process Red Hat and RPM have never adequately supported.

They didn’t “just” place a tablet. They did a lot more than that. More than I could ever mention in one comment.

But to take just one thing, just because there is a tablet, that does not mean there are no buttons and other physical hardware controls. There are plenty of those. So I really don’t understand the motivation of your rant.
The Tesla Network Is Dead
Not an issue in this day and age, IMO. While FWD is more controllable, and safer in the snow, modern stability control systems have done a _lot_ to bridge the gap.

My 2006 era RWD car has the manufacturer's optional stability control, and I'm constantly impressed by how effectively it keeps the car in-line in snow. Even on long, sweeping turns, where it's hard to know when you're beginning to slide. This is without any kind of steering control, with only engine power limiting and individual-wheel braking.

Much more important, is to have proper tires for the season. Even if you don't experience snow, you need tires with the appropriate temperature ratings. Summer tires will turn rock-hard in freezing temperatures, and lose a lot of grip. Even on bare pavement.

I agree with 1. Religion definitely seems to falls into the same bucket. If I were to use my culture's version of the "long john" story, it would feel totally religious to almost everyone else. I don't see this working out in urban society today. If we're in a public or friend's place with kids and we try this kind of stories there, the immediate reaction from everyone would be horror. "What kind of BS are you feeding your kids with! Don't bring any of that near my kids!"
Since when have Apple's PR releases seemed so snarky? I haven't seen so many phrased like this, which underneath the layers of pseudo support for developers and artists, is basically a big "NO U".

* I give a proper reply to everyone who contacts me on LinkedIn, even if the work they are offering is totally unrelated to what I can/want to do. The frequent spam is a small price to pay in return for being in everyone's database.

* I'm very upfront with my day-rate and get rejected by most of the recruiters/companies that get in touch with me because it's too high. This is fine and intentional because there is enough demand to get that rate anyway (so far).
> But I've been very careful not to inflate my lifestyle too much. I don't have an expensive car. I don't go on expensive holidays.

That's what I noticed during my undergraduate years in the UK after growing up in continental Europe: "lifestyle" for most people in the UK from the young age is associated with spending money on material things and holidays, not pursuing life-long hobbies and interests.

In much of continental Europe people seem to be enjoying their lives a way more, despite often earning 2-3x lower salaries while doing similar jobs.

In my own country, even a person making 15k / year might have a second home in the countryside, where he spends every summer weekend with his friends and family.
An Hour of Light and Sound a Day Might Keep Alzheimer’s at Bay
I hate the term "AI" (even though I am CTO of a company with "AI" in its name, but since we use machine learning/DCNNs in our systems, it’s very trendy). The problem with "AI" is the "intelligence" part. Intelligence is a construct like "porn", like in the famous words of Justice Stewart about defining the latter "...but I know it when I see it". At best, it's very ambiguous -- and misleading at worst. They have been many attempts to quantitatively and qualitatively define intelligence -- none of which I find particularly satisfying and neither do any three given scientists in a room agree on a single interpretation. My problem with TFA is that it is comparing apples to oranges; deep convolutional networks are very different tools useful for a subset of problems than the ones using Bayesian inference and other statistical methods. Brute force methods like image morphology, object counting, and transforms are useful for even yet an entire Other set of problems. To say that one has displaced another is an error, in fact in most useful, modern, production systems a combination of all three is utilized, each to their purpose. To make direct comparisons between them while implying the historical decisions to use one or the other are due to Moore's Law is a false equivalence.

I clearly need my morning coffee.
Technical details aside, some questions I would want clearly addressed in resume/cover letter would be:

- demonstrate that you are a team player. I don’t want a hot shot that started their own company because they needed to satisfy their ego.

- you’ve been the boss for your entire career. Are you sure you’re ready to work for someone else?

- what non-technical lessons have you learned that can apply to my job opening?

- something attracted you to start your own company. What part of your passion makes my company attractive to you?

I’m not implying YOU are any of these but they are concerns that I would have with such a candidate. Note that I started my Company 17 years ago and still worry about what I’ll do next!

This is not exclusive to Apple. Software included in the default MS Windows installation was a huge concern, too.

Slim – surprisingly space efficient data types in Golang
Slim is collection of surprisingly space efficient data types, with corresponding serialisation APIs to persisting them on-disk or for transport.

Why slim

As data on internet keeps increasing exponentially, the capacity gap between memory and disk becomes greater.

Most of the time, a data itself does not need to be loaded into expensive main memory. Only the much more important information, WHERE-A-DATA-IS, deserve a seat in main memory.

This is what slim does, keeps as little information as possible in main memory, as a minimised index of huge amount external data.

As you have a very user centric approach, how do you deal with data collection? Think Analytics on behavior as well as other data driven decisions. Do you keep buckets of data in the offline app and send them out as soon as a device has an internet connection again?
True, and the English one is not a literal translation. I wish though the English version had a greater quality.
That's one way to look at it. Another is that one uses the early retirement as a driving goal that ultimately helps one grow. Yes, you may afford to retire and live mediocre if you want, but would you now, with your newly realized potential that the journey towards your previous goals helped you discover? For many that choose to continue, I guess it's that old saying "it is better to wear out than to rust out", the difference between those who work affording to retire comfortably in any moment and those who don't is the kind of work they do. That is the real prize worth pursuing. As regarding to publicly declared goal, it's just a good enough explanation to feed the inquisitive spirits. And it's more comfortable for them hearing that you have to work in order to make it (towards a different level than they do, but still, a shared experience there) instead of bragging that you don't have to crawl any more.

"Looks like the NEA and the USDA are making reports that make their own sector shine"

Probably, you didn't point to a conflicting source, so I was just going from the article.

One thing you didn't account for is balance of trade. Art in the NEA definition is probably a net exporter. Food probably not? (you can export raw materials, and you can export the brand. As a non American though, my big mac has never seen America, so I really don't know how that would feed through to those figures).
Agriculture also attracts subsidies, that could account for the disparity, although it could increase the disparity so I don't know.

Long story short, the figures don't necessarily contradict each other.
Amazon's reach into the FAA is particularly hysterical. Given that Amazon would like to do drone deliveries and has pissed off the FAA in some regards in the past - specific regulatory language confirms this - they have a huge footprint and open door policy in the DC offices.
