To be fair it looks like there are a number of valid thing sources here, but at least to me it didn't feel very cohesive and there are a lot of terms that have been coopted by self help books and other sources that I don't find trust worthy.

For instance as soon as I see "tipping point" I think of malcom gladwells book which falls into puesdoscience a number of times. [1]

It's entirely possible with some different framing and dealing with one sections that are supported by different research in different articles I wouldn't have had that reaction.

Kind of obvious, of course.

For a while there was a "Birds Came First" insurgency, insisting birds were not in Dinosauria because ... well, because they liked birds but hated dinosaurs? The argument never made sense, and it finally died down.

People who like birds and hate dinosaurs are like people who like tetrapods and hate fish. It's allowed, but not something for vertebrate biologists to pay attention to.

Yes, they can decide not to invest, but that doesn't preclude pushing for a change, and saying they don't think the current structure is in the best interest of the company or shareholders.

From the few content creators in my circle -- they all despise advertising as a way to monetize their production. It almost forces the content creator to refactor their content in such a way that plays nice with advertising. Not to mention income from advertising is inconsistent.

I wonder if a lot of this has to do with how family life is going. It is not the 1960's any more and we don't have the whole family sat around the table at dinner time with mum having been home all day keeping the house in order.

For people who don't have a dining room and people to cook for, why lovingly prepare a meal from fresh produce when junk food can be eaten instead? Price isn't everything. Neither is cooking skills or familiarity with what vegetables look like. Ready meals rule in an atomised society.

Arm-twisting? You are conflating two issues here. Every company wants to retain users and their business. That is how every company operates. You should judge a company on what they offer as an incentive to keep them. Privacy as a service on their platform is a great thing. Compare that to what other companies offer as incentives.

There are two types of reactions to the Therac-25 story.

1) We need to put a lot of process in place to review and test and ensure we have proper interlocks in place.

The Therac-25's software program, relatively crude by today's standards, probably contained 101000 lines of code.

200 errors I think.

Apple's premium price is exactly what allows them to focus on privacy.

Google/Facebook/etc. are able to offer you cheap products and services because they're selling your privacy to the highest bidder.

Apple is not doing this (because they care about privacy), so they need to charge a much higher price for similar products.

This is somewhat of a chicken and egg problem (did Apple care about privacy and charge a premium price, or did charging a premium price allow them to start caring about privacy?), but that's arguably not important. What's important is that Apple cares about privacy when their competitors do not.

> Calisthenics develop muscle more harmoniously and yield stronger joints.

I did a quick google, and couldn't find any resources comparing bone density and joint strength for calisthenics practitioners vs strongmen or powerlifters. There's no way joint strength doesn't factor in when you're moving multiples of your own bodyweight. That's also a pretty hard limiting factor of calisthenics - once you're moving your own weight effectively, there's not a lot of places to go, unless you load up with more weight, and then, hey, you're weightlifting.

I'm also confused as to what you mean by "harmoniously" - the big compound movements in lifting that are in vogue right now use a ton of muscles to move stuff around, so a lot of muscles come into play. If you're talking about "muscle imbalances", well, if one was to do a ton of pull-ups and not a lot else, that's a calisthenics workout, and not balanced.
And if not outright denied it is dismissed as "unhelpful" to talk about:

> But if you’re willing to do that, then the application is basically acting as its own kernel... so why not just admit that, and instead of writing a user-space process that has half the features of a kernel, just either 1. write your logic as a Linux kernel driver, or 2. compile your program into a unikernel framework?

Because the kernel is still a lot of other things for you other than networking - I think it's a stretch to say that all user-space networking makes your work "half" of that of a kernel. And, you're not necessarily the one doing it. You may be an application, and your user-level TCP (including kernel bypass) may be a library from someone else. But to your general point of now you are now well past the city walls, and may run into trouble, I agree. I assume that this sort of thing is only done by a small number of people.

Facebook agreed to certain additional rules (eg quarterly reporting) in exchange for being able to solicit investment from the public. There was no rule against the share classes.

What are these issues? Their outcomes are better than ours, and they pay less per person.

The UK has had nationalized health care for 70 years. Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, and Finland are not far behind (50+ years for each of those).

If these problems you're describing were caused by nationalization, wouldn't we have seen them already? 50-70 years is a remarkably long time for a national social program to run without running into any fatal issues.
Local control is a double edged sword. It may make them more sensitive to local issues if they’re part of the community, but it can also lead to arbitrary enforcement or non-enforcement from one area to another or between one group or another.

The smaller the political unit, the more likely it is to be dominated by a clique of people. This can lead to corruption, but even in a non-corrupt setting it can lead to racist, casteist, or other kinds of discriminatory decisions about enforcement or resource allocation.

At the end of the day they're mostly just fancy OpenVPN profiles. The entire space is fishy AF IMO.

I'm thankful that linustechtips seems to evaluate their VPN sponsors at least. I believe they dropped tunnelbear in favor of PIA because of similar concerns.
The biggest problem that I have is that it's privacy built on a closed source platform that works extremely hard to wall users in and create substantial vendor lock-in.

As someone who has tried multiple times to dip their toes into the Apple world, I can tell you that it's highly hostile to users who try to pick and choose how much they want to be an Apple citizen. If you don't agree to sign up for Apple cloud on the latest iOS, it feels like 80% of the basic functions for a smartphone get locked away from you.

And they have viral aspects to their lock-in as well. Have a single family member who isn't on iMessage? Looks like they don't get to participate in your family discussions anymore.

Their privacy features are a selling point today, but your privacy is 100% in their control. If the executive team made the decision tomorrow to switch Apple into a fully panopticon ecosystem, they'd be able to switch over in a year with little visibility for their users that this transition was happening.

If you are in the Apple ecosystem, you under heavy lock-in pressure and you are fully putting your faith in Apple that the directions they go in the future will be directions that you are happy with.

That doesn't feel secure to me.

> Every company wants to retain users and their business.

I think GP's point is that Apple is doing this using lock-in, rather than having the best possible products.

If there were multiple app stores for iOS users, you could argue that Apple is behaving just like every other business. But they're not. They're stifling competition to lock their customers in.

Prices are the same as the large shops, but the 20% of products they stock are the dearer ones.

But someone please explain how a refresh rate less than infinity doesn't create some sort of delay. In my naive understanding a 60Hz monitor means it refreshes the screen every 16ms.

+1 on ssh + vps. People will say it isn't as anonymous as the shared vpn's and while that is somewhat true, it is still more than sufficient to remove your home IP from logs. Short of scary letters and warrants to the VPS provider, people won't really know who you are. You can also automate the rebuilding of proxy nodes to get new IP's, as most VPS providers have an API for automated rebuilds.
