That's exactly what Common Clause is pursuing IMO.
for me the relevant metric is they have the 100% of ios devices market, at least on Android you have several app stores. That is a problem for me, but one that I can't foresee a solution in the future.
Yeah, I probably agree. But then, every concept can be framed as an exploration of consciousness, as everything rational is conscious.
If you mean iOS, it is more a side effect of the project failure to add GC to Objective-C than anything else.

Also reference counting only applies to a tiny subset of Objective-C data structures, classes derived from NSObject using Cocoa retain/release patterns.

If you add Swift to the soup, there is still quite some work to do regarding performance,

https://github.com/ixy-languages/ixy.swift/blob/master/perfo...

The other, even bigger OS, is running on tracing GCs.

And Windows is running on a mix of reference counting and tracing GC.
And also of a terrifying large Australian bird that should be treated with extreme caution.
> VPNs do not make you anonymous. A shared VPN might give you some plausible deniability but it's hard to trust that your specific traffic isn't being logged.

That's true. But unfortunately, a lot of product placements on YouTube suggest exactly that. The claims of companies like NordVPN are highly misleading if not simply wrong. But especially on non-tech related channels, the audience is unlikely to know how VPNs work and what they do.
Yeah, some of these VC blogs are terrible. At least Stratechery tries to provide some actual quantitative analysis. A16Z looks like so much blog spam. Disappointing.
> it is basically impossible to extract a significant amount of additional wealth from the 0.1%.

I'm not sure I buy this. If the IRS can measure income, they can also measure wealth. Sure rich folks will try to hide wealth, but they've also tried to hide income and the IRS when well funded is decently competent at finding it.

> The other fundamental problem with giving a big additional slice of the national wealth to the poor is that they will spend it on consumer services

That's no what anyone is advocating. They are advocating basic healthcare and education, not exactly consumer services.

> At which point you no longer have a middle class to extract from.

Even super leftist democrats are not advocating taxing the middle class. They are focusing on the super rich. The somewhat nice thing about this type of taxation is that even though it'll effect the absolute money you have, it won't affect your wealth rank. Sure, maybe Bezos' or Gates' net worth will go down, but they will still be the richest in the US. Your low-millionaire friends may be slightly less rich, but they will still be just as rich rank-wise as they were before.

Folks generally get less upset about taxes if it keeps their existing rank and standing in society

It seems like a good deal. Carleton is around 10k to 12k CA a year in fees. So let's say 40k total for the accelerated program. That leaves 120k for about 4500 hours, averaging out to about 27 an hour. Sure that's not competitive with top paying cs internships. But they get a free cs degree, come out with significant work experience, and get offered this with little to no programming experience.
Yes, though fragile tests can be a sign that simplification might benefit your system.

Sometimes it's useful to just turn flaky failures into solid failures.
I don't agree. The Vulkan and D3D12 APIs didn't have to be so programmer hostile, they're just badly designed APIs.

Thankfully, WebGPU took a lot of inspiration from the Metal API, and less from Vulkan and D3D12, and thus is usable without a "sanity layer".
"Reasonable" would be to charge a fixed transaction fee plus a percentage that doesn't scream "dysfunctional market!".

Microsoft takes 5% for selling apps in the Windows store. That may be a bit desperate given that these stores aren't just payment services but act as merchants of record, taking care of international taxes, billing and running an actual store.

I wouldn't complain for a second if store fees were in the neighbourhood of 10% plus transaction fee.

But charging 30% irrespective of price is not reasonable by any reasonable definition of reasonable.

Phrases that people get wrong
Hi, thanks for the post. I don't know what your personal circumstances are, where you live, how mobile your job and your wife's job are, but: have you considered working remotely and then moving to somewhere that your salary would go further, and thus give you more time to be with your kids?

For example: if you managed to get a remote job making $50,000 USD a year, that's a pretty good living for a family in a small city in Spain, France, Italy, Poland, Czechia, the Balkans, etc. You could work less hours (and have no commute) and your wife might not even have to work at all. Or you could both work part-time.

As I said, it's not as easy as I make it sound, but it's something to consider.

I think their argument is that they're providing you exposure through the App Store, so they deserve a referral fee for maintaining the App Store, reviewing apps, etc. Normally, user acquisition (getting a user to even think about installing your app the first time) is much more expensive than maintaining a subscription -- also why so many companies are pushing subscription models -- so Apple probably considers it to be worth more. There's also a higher risk of fraudulent purchases or refunds (and associated support costs) for the initial purchase than a subscription.

In the past, developers were prohibited from telling users that they could sign up cheaper on your website, allegedly to avoid user confusion; I think it was relaxed somewhat so I don't know if it's still the case.

Of course the main reason why they charge 30% for the first year is because they can, and the reason they charge 15% after that is because app/content developers have been starting to gripe about it (probably after realizing they need to make a profit and can't live entirely off VC money). It has little to no relation to how much it actually costs Apple. There's no justification for why it takes a year to get the reduced rate, instead of something like 2 months.

> James Watson was not discredited but promptly fired and "disgraced" for stating a well-supported scientific finding in abrupt layman's terms for an interview.

Even Watson admitted, before being fired, that the last straw that did that wasn't a well-supported scientific finding.

> In the case of IQ, I don't think certain people want scientific answers as to why

The people that don't want the answers as to why are the people that are busy trumpeting any reported finding of correlation that fits their political narrative, no matter how thinly supported, and insisting that it must be an inherent racial difference. The rest of the world is very much interested in both testing the correlations and seeking causal explanations.
Reference counting may have flexibility advantages compared to tracing GC. Obligate reference counting (ala ObjC/Swift) vs. obligate tracing GC is not the only relevant comparison.

Software to help colleges manage alumni and raise money for endowment — this is a big problem for a lot of colleges. Are you tired of getting calls from your alma mater asking for donations? I’m sure they’re tired of hiring people to call you. It’s a pretty poor process overall that surprisingly no one is trying to make better.

A tool to help lawyers more quickly organize class action lawsuits — I know this sounds kind of controversial, but there’s probably hundreds of millions of dollars to be made here. Lawyers currently send out thousands of letters to get people involved and this could all be done online.

Automatic referral tracking through URL — this one is kind of technical, but every page on a product should append a unique parameter (something like ?id=532391) that way when I copy the URL and send it to a friend, they know who referred who. And a link could be permanently created between users.

A marketplace for airline tickets — this is a hard one, because you’ll have to get around a lot of airline industry regulation, but anyone who can crack it will be very successful. It’s amazing to me that if I can’t make a flight, I can’t sell my ticket to someone else.

A tool to help online services onboard users better — most products have pretty horrible onboarding flows (the steps after a users signs up) that aren’t being tested or optimized. There are a few services out there that do this, but none that have really stood out to me.
I see that spending 30/45 minutes as a family is very important for communication. It helps understand daily life with its joys, issues, milestones. It helps bring peace in the family, and emotional support as well as practical planning. It helps to know each other. It's a no pressure situation, whoever wants to talk can talk, it's the best way to open up.

Curve25519 was only introduced in 2005, so it's entirely plausible that MS had a customer prior to that with the attitude "we don't trust those NSA curves, we'd rather use our own" (though whether those customers would choose to use the MS crypto library is another question...)

Isn’t one of the benefits of RC better (lower and more predictable) latency than with GC? Basically, you can presict when (and how much) garbage will be collected, and if it turns out that’s too much, you can fix your code... good luck doingthat with GC.

The downside is, of course, that it requires much more care (to avoid cycles)

Well covered relative to what?

The problem is you don't know how much research into taboo topics would exist in an academic environment where freedom of speech was actually respected. It could be double, triple or 10x what we see today. Or it could be equal.

However, it would be strange to assume it's equal given the very public mob mentality and academic "executions" for conservative thought, the many testimonies from academics saying they're afraid to even voice conservative ideas in academia let alone apply for grant funding for them, and the work of people like Jonathan Haight who showed fields like psychology are dominated by one political ideology.

To me it's obvious there are areas that are under-researched by academia. To name just two:

1. Climate change skepticism. All the research I've seen here is done by academic outsiders. They find real problems, publish papers and get real retractions or changes made in the field, but none of it is done by academia itself. When you read the various emails showing how academics try to block people who disagree with them from getting published, it's obvious what's going on.

2. Men's rights. Academia churns out vast amounts of "research" into various feminist and intersectionalist topics. I've seen very few papers on anything approximating the male opposite. The small amount that does exist tends to come out of psychological research into education in the context of why boys are falling behind at school (they find some worrying things about teacher bias). But it's an occasional dot compared to the torrent of government-funded feminist thought.

The problem with areas of inquiry like these is that leftists attack them as not only illegitimate to study at all, but to even talk about. This is despite the fact that they're both completely mainstream sets of views.
I had no problems with OpenVPN Connect which is the "official" client for Android. For a short time I used Mac OS X (before rebranding), Tunnelblick never worked properly. I forgot the exact problems, but mainly crashing of the software that locks up all network interfaces until reboot, constant disconnecting, and one text field which was unfillable.
Perhaps this use is to prevent trademark abandonment issues? I don’t think it’d be great for Apple if, e.g. Monoprice were to come out with a Macintosh computer.

I really like the honest description of where you stand, and the way you value raising your family is commendable. But at the risk of being a bit contrarian, maybe you want to do more than raise a family?

Raising a family is a wonderful endeavor and an important part of life, but it's just one part of life. Most people work at least 40 hours a week, that's a huge part of their existence. Finding employment or activity that you're proud of and inspired by can take those 40 hrs/week from drudgery to inspiration.

I don't want to insert my own values for your own, but maybe consider optimizing your work life for yourself, and raising a family may come with it.

To be fair. The claim that it makes you more secure by masking your IP is wrong. But securing you connection in public Wi-Fi networks is probably the main VPN use-case for the average user.
Maybe that's an ancillary point to that of the article. Games aren't near being fully explored as a medium, and both storyline and gameplay elements have a huge space of potential that hasn't been explored yet.

It's promising that there's many indie games that really push the frontiers of the gaming experiences one can have. E.g. This War of Mine and Firewatch were really big experiences for me, in terms of what stories a game can tell while being quite novel on the gameplay front.
Well, let's just pick one example of a supposedly absolutely reprehensible and wrong statement in that collection.

> “The one aspect of the Jewish brain that is not first class is that Jews are said to be bad in thinking in three dimensions.. it is true” – Watson

> Sorry but these are racist and misogynist in a direct way. In what high school were you taught to read deliberations about Jewish brains as “rude comments about people in general”. That would also explain your curious view on what biology is. – some busybody

> Different studies have found different results, but most have found well above-average verbal and mathematical intelligence in Ashkenazi Jews, along with slightly below-average spatial intelligence,[2][3] producing an average IQ score in the range of roughly 107 to 115, well above the general mean of 100.[4][5][6][7] – Wikipedia*

He was supremely politically incorrect and unconcerned with how his views might be misrepresented. However, here we see that he was factually correct (inasmuch as intelligence is function of the brain) and, also, simply expessing mainstream scientific views.

To someone who is not yet a true believer, you are only further confirming that his cancellation was part of general ideological assault on science. He "worked very long and hard to get himself fired" by saying things he as someone who respects and understands science believed.

To write papers academics need to get grant funding. That's where the bottlenecks are going to primarily be.

That said I've read a whole bunch of essays by scientists whose research couldn't be published for explicitly stated ideological reasons over time, like this one:

* Only use technology that already exists for at least 10 years and is widely used: bash python3 C and Linux

* No external libraries, only the python standard library and the C standard library

* No monolithic design, it's a mix of about 30 standalone utilities that I can rewrite gradually if for example ever python3 becomes out of fashion.

* Keep the line count low

* Rely on proven abstractions like processes, files, pipes, the environment list, etc

>>>also worth noting is that a significant portion of a large bank's customers are over middle age

That maybe true today, 30 years from now those boomers will be dead.

>>The other misconception is why banks continue to operate this way, which I personally believe comes down to prioritizing risk aversion and fraud resistance over other attributes

There are many ways to solve for both, other nations have done it successfully

ACH for example is a shit show and should have been replaced decades ago, its biggest "security" features is that fact that it is slow to complete a transaction to allow humans to catch an error or fraud....

US banking is not about risk aversion or fraud control, it is about risk shifting and CYA. They do not care about preventing fraud, they care about making sure they do not have a pay for fraud by shifting liability to either consumers, businesses, or another bank
> To me it's obvious there are areas that are under-researched by academia. ... Climate change skepticism.

Why would anyone research "climate change skepticism" and not just "climate"? The very idea of a discipline with "skepticism" in it's name suggests that there is an existing answer that someone is looking for, whereas the whole point of science is to keep an open mind. Nobody researches "physics skepticism", they research physics.

If you presuppose an outcome, you're not really doing science.
