Huh, so there are actual people out there that claims "you can make money on your first day!" and rate apps 5 stars because you can make a fraction of a cent.

I am sorry but I will disagree with your definition of marketing. If you are creating fake reviews that is just lying, not marketting
It's not just about someone seeing your information, it's that it's being weaponized against you, usually to make you spend more money than you otherwise would have. Advertisers aren't charities, they expect a return on their investment.
4H has about 7 million members, all somewhat rural/outdoors in outlook and not all farm oriented, as a likely upper bound.

Maybe 3 million kids would be expected to milk a cow, so maybe 1 in 20.

In some states, nearly a million people per year visit the state fair and most would experience the "milk a cow" booth so essentially all kids above a relatively low socioeconomic level have made a pitiful attempt at milking a cow. Under a very broad and unassuming tent, perhaps a third of kids could be considered able to "manage to milk a cow".

My minimal experience in cow milking is its hard to fail completely as long as you're not kicked in the face, but it is the kind of skill where experience and intelligence could pay off. Which brings us back around to an obvious comparison with the general public experience of mass market GUI user interfaces, LOL.

This is just neo-geocenterism.

Thinking is done with neurons. Neurons are subject to the same physical laws as the rest of the material world. Therefore thinking can be done by a machine (if nothing else, by a physics simulation of neurons).

To refute this logic, you must show some thought is not being done by neurons or that neurons are not subject to physics.
This isn't really accurate, because it would describe any "expansionary" monetary policy. QE involves adding liquidity (i.e. cash) to the financial system directly when interest rates are already low and so the normal tools (open market operations and to a lesser extent the discount rate) are ineffective. QE thus typically involves very large expansion of the Fed's balance sheet (the assets are the securities they buy, and the liabilities are the cash issued), compared to small fluctuations when they are using OMO.

The ultimate effect is an increase in the money supply just like normal expansionary Fed operations, just through different means.

Also QE1 and QE2 involved the Fed buying "non-traditional" assets like mortgage-backed securities that were toxic at the time and some of which "fade away" over their lifetimes (e.g. an MBS is not worth anything once all of the loans composing it are paid).

Thanks!

Resolving that bug took quite a bit of serendipity. The break came when I was on the verge of giving up on the assembly rewrite and reverting back to C. I'd left my "frozen" iPod sitting around for a while. ~15 minutes later, I came back, and everything was back to normal -- this was evidence that I was not seeing a true lockup, but rather an extremely long delay (consistent with an integer wraparound).

Considering that a) Stadia officially supports macOS and b) most Google engineers use Macs, I don't think that's really a valid argument here. They just want people to use Chrome, full stop.

If you go into the Apple Store and use the financing option then they will register your phone as a convenience to one of the big 4 carriers. I imagine you could finance and "activate" it later yourself and maybe avoid the fee if you have a physical sim card. But the new phones are eSim so that may play a role. I was told I could not participate in the iphone upgrade program if I wasn't on one of the big 4 carriers. I was on a big 4 but then I went MVNO with no issue. I haven't upgraded since tho.

Cohesion does not force you to lock your software to a single device. Why can Google Duo be available on iOS and Android, while FaceTime is locked to iOS? You know full well it's to force you and your family to stay inside the garden and stop you from leaving. Has nothing to do with cohesion.

> I'm a close-to-20-years Apple user. The walled garden has never been a problem.

Obviously it's not a problem to people inside the garden, that's the whole point. It's meant to be a problem to people who are outside, to get them to come in.

As someone who has never had any Apple product, every time I come anywhere near anything by Apple, it's nothing but issues. As mentioned above, any time I'm linked an iTunes album page, I can't do shit with it. I'm not going to install iTunes just to listen and purchase the album. Is it cohesion to force me to download and install a program to purchase an album?

You’re giving the government too much credit. Medicare has a 20% coinsurance. Who knows if you have a chronic illness if that 20% is $20 or $200k.

And if it was that simple then people in this country would not be bankrupted by medical debt.

You like what you like. You can go read any number of blind taste tests, or any of a million Reddit threads where it is tediously re-explained that the sour milk note in the stabilizers Hershey's grosses Europeans out, or the NYT's notes about how bitter their cocoa is, but really it's just commodity chocolate whose overwhelming characteristic is sweetness with almost no texture or anything of interest to recommend it.

If you're looking for something to serve an almost functional role in a product, like a S'more or whatever, it's... fine? Do you bake with Hershey's? Like in a brownie, where you can dial the sweetness in instead of swinging it all the way to 11?

I don't think there's anything wrong with liking Hershey's chocolate, and I myself like American cheese! I'm just saying they're objectively not as good as other products, and the people who point that out aren't wrong to do so. Honestly, I think most people who say Hershey's is good would prefer Cadbury's.

You can claim that Mossadegh was no angel, but the Shah was even worse:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1980/03/23/t...

This apologist article damns the Shah with faint praise- perhaps there had been improvements under the Pahlavis in the latter days of the regime, but there were flagrant abuses under the SAVAK secret police in the early '70s to 1976- in engaging in such brutality, and in botching the land reform of the White Revolution, Mohammad Reza tied his own noose.
If it's via the Apple Upgrade Program, it's essentially leasing.

You take out a loan with Citizens One, and the phone is paid for (from Apple's perspective) outright. You then pay the loan down. However you can't get another upgrade until you've paid at least half of the installments, and then if you trade in the old phone the remaining balance of the loan is deleted.

There's also a new (similar) program integrated into their Apple Card. Not sure how exactly that works.

The inventory comes from Apple. You do not buy/lease/whatever the phone from any carrier. Once you purchase it, you have the option to activate it with whichever of the big carriers in store. You could also walk out and install your own SIM from elsewhere. AUP phones aren't carrier locked.
At WordPress.com, we have millions of sites. Having users be logged in so they can ‘like’ a post or comment or write new content is kinda important. That uses APIs and third party cookies (first party, but the API is a third-party from the perspective of the site they’re on). We are constantly dealing with Safari thinking it’s “tracking”. Disclaimer, we do track things, but only on admin pages, not users’ sites.
Win32 message queues are not only relevant to the GUI subsystem. Note how PostThreadMessage doesn't even deal with HWNDs anywhere. And COM, for example, uses those same message queues for cross-apartment calls - even if it's one GUI-less service calling another one, there's a message pump in there somewhere.
Artificial Morality
Most Google apps are available on both iOS and Android unlike Apple products. Compare Duo to FaceTime, Hangouts to iMessage, etc.

Stadia is still very early tech, it doesn't even support 90% of Android phones, let alone other devices and browsers. YTTV works on iOS, but yes the lack of Safari support is a bit shitty. Still, most of the limitation are technical, not forced.
>They most likely won’t care about the operation of their system

Frankly, I don't either. Most of the important know-how comes to servers or cloud service configurations. My personal and work computers just work, no thanks to my knowledge. Win10 is vastly better than all previous versions in terms of this. Even if I run into something, there's always Google/YouTube. I think most teens can handle Google.

You don't need to have this stuff memorized any more. That under-the-hood knowledge you're trying to get me to memorize? Just tell me what to search for and I'll go look it up if I want to learn about it. I can remember that search phrase easily. I'm not going to remember every detail you talk about.

When I can't google my way into 6 digit jobs, I'll start worrying. Until then, those under-the-hood people can rest easy knowing things are much more streamlined these days because of their work.
They're VoIP service providers—they sell PBX access and US numbers to the scammers. Without a VoIP provider in the US to route through, the scammers would have to be calling from India using their own +91-country-code numbers, which could be pretty easily ignored. (Most people don't have any genuine reason to expect a call from India, and could just set up rule-based blocking for the whole country. It would probably become a feature you could enable on any residential phone provider's account page.)
> all you really care about is how much your shares are earning you

Properly you care about more than that: you want to know how the business is faring; the thing that actually has to support the EPS. You want to know that you're not watching a dwindling scenario, where you're losing the business and the buybacks are getting you just a bit more than treading water. That's where EPS juicing can be a dangerous camouflage.

If juicing EPS with buybacks comes at the cost of longer term growth, it's a disaster for long-term shareholding. Incorrect capital allocation sinks a lot of ships.

IBM, as one infamous example, played (is playing) an aggressive financial engineering game where they were seeing their business contract every quarter for years, yet juiced EPS through buybacks.

It did absolutely nothing for the stock, which hasn't moved in ten years (Adobe is now worth more than IBM + the former Red Hat, ouch). All those profits shoveled into buybacks and it did nothing to drive consequential returns for shareholders. If shareholders are lucky they've yielded three or four percent per year the past decade, with inflation + buybacks + dividends (while a lot of other prominent tech companies have generated epic returns in that time). It could have gone into building a better cloud business which would have provided growth, which would have rewarded them with a PE ratio that isn't a dismal 13 (Apple has a multiple 2x that with very modest growth). In four or five years AWS will be as large as IBM's entire business (it's already nearly as profitable now). Shareholders have seen some EPS boost while the business gradually vanishes out from under them.

Is it more likely that IBM's profits were better spent on buying shares back or driving business growth? You could have rolled up a massive cloud business for $50 billion in acquisitions between 2008-2018 (and ideally not stupidly paid twice what Red Hat was actually worth, near the peak of a stock market bubble).
I'm not sure it counts as positive progress, it's a positive regression to what was normal 20 years ago and as such requires little to no problem solving.

The bigger challenge is making people care, they don't understand how their private information gets weaponized against them, usually to manipulate them to spend more.
The harm of a mugging is far in excess of the money taken.

Start with PTSD. The victim might never feel safe again. The victim might have many years of waking up in a panic from a recurring nightmare.

Muggings cause violence. The mugger threatens it. The victim doesn't know if payment will appease the mugger. Both the mugger and the victim may initiate actual violence. They and the bystanders can end up maimed or dead.

Muggings cause people to prefer commuting all alone in SUVs. You could say that this has a cost in smog, road repair, road widening, and the price placed on safe commuting. Safety becomes something you have to pay for, and not everybody can afford it.

Walkable neighborhoods can not exist if muggers are free to operate.

Itunes was utterly terrible. My iphone is terrible.

Apple make very, very bad software. And their hardware is overpriced. And they deliberately make people pay more for accessories like their pointless new audio port.

Android is superior in every way, except (I'm told) on privacy.

I cannot comprehend why anyone buys apple. I have to have apple for my work phone, and I hate it. Just today I was wrestling with their dreadful podcast app to try to figure out how to get it to play the podcasts in the order the episodes are enumerated in, which isn't the default. I still haven't found the 'playlist' part. Find in page on a web page took me ages to find. I cannot select the middle of a word. Their auto-correct corrects words that are nicknames or abbreviations by default to some totally inappropriate word. Their files app truncates the name, so when I download several episodes of a podcast, all of which have the format "long podcast name episode #" all I see is "long podcast name ..." eight times. Moving icons from one virtual page to another is clunky. The equivalent of a drop down where you have some weird rotating drum thing is awkward. Adding a contact from a text from an unknown number was convoluted. There are no timestamps on incoming text messages on the text app. On and on. Every single bit sucks.

And no I don't want to hear how I can "just do x,y,z, it's easy". Their software is not intuitive and sucks.

Today at least I got the audio jack to stop constantly disconnecting. The problem? Lint in the audio jack. Never had that on the old one but Apple couldn't charge me $10 to connect my existing headphones to their device so I guess it was worth it.

Right, that's my point, they don't care about anyone outside their ecosystem.
Hi Dale,

Thank you for the comment. I think there is a technical difference and an ergonomic difference:

1. The technical difference is that when you do conflict resolution with Replicache you have more information, specifically the intent of the mutations. Consider something very simple like a positive-only counter. The parent is `1` and the forks are `2` and `0`. Is the correct resolution `2`? Is it `0`? Or is it `1`? There's no way to know because we don't know what the intent of those changes was. Was fork 1 incrementing? Was it multiplying? Was fork 2 decrementing? By how much? Now multiply this simple example by real applications with many developers, many features, and many client versions in the wild. Having the intent of each change travel with the change is crucial.

2. The ergonomic difference is that conflict resolution in Replicache isn't something separate that is done after-the-fact. Replicache applies mutations to the server by calling normal HTTP APIs, just with potentially old arguments. This forces developers to consider conflict resolution at the point they are writing APIs, and keeps conflict resolution code colocated with the corresponding services.
