Anyone who cares about privacy, anyone who bought in to the Apple ecosystem long ago so now the switching cost would be huge, anyone who is non-technical and had their children choose an iPhone for them (i.e. my parents).

So what do you do with people who do things out of malice, say, mobsters, human traffickers? Some people do things because there’s an opening.

How do you do restorative justice with them?
If you socialize the losses, you incentivize others to cause more additional losses than they would otherwise, as they know they won't have to deal with it.

A better society would have incentives and structures that guide people to reduce these harmful effects and externalities.
Which Apple does not permit. It's literally Apple's way, plus a 30% cut for doing nothing, or you're not even allowed to play. And that's exactly what antitrust laws were intended to prevent.

I wouldn't say Apple or Google do nothing. Their Argument is we provide the infrastructure and developer tools so we're going to take a slice off all your sells to keep this stuff up and running. Even the Amazon App Store takes a 30% cut.
Google's stance here looks good on paper, but the reality is very different.

Fortnite was the most ambitious attempt to distribute outside of Google Play. Here's what Epic had to say:

> After 18 months of operating Fortnite on Android outside of the Google Play Store, we’ve come to a basic realization: Google puts software downloadable outside of Google Play at a disadvantage, through technical and business measures such as scary, repetitive security pop-ups for downloaded and updated software, restrictive manufacturer and carrier agreements and dealings, Google public relations characterizing third-party software sources as malware, and new efforts such as Google Play Protect to outright block software obtained outside the Google Play store.

And Epic gave up and put it on the Play Store.

Brendan Eich is the creator of JavaScript and was the CTO of Mozilla.

He is intelligent and works hard on open source. However,
he HAD opposed same sex marriage.

While he was CTO of Mozilla, no one cared. When he became CEO, there was a smear campaign to get rid of him.

I respect his contributions, but not his politics. He has the freedom to say what he believes - I still use Firefox. IMHO this was just an excuse to get ride of him as CEO.
Agreed. I adopted the Wes Bos approach (drive Prettier from ESLint) and it's fantastic.
Honestly I have given up trying to “keep” engineers because it’s a losing battle. It’s impossible to compete with big tech. From the offers I’ve seen, if FAANG/Big Tech really wants one of your team members, they will get them and there is nothing you can do.

My employees stay because they want to. They enjoy the work, domain, colleagues. The salary is competitive and fair. They can thrive in this environment.

But I am under no illusions about creating some special environment that can prevent them from getting poached. You can throw cash, stocks, options all you want but if Big Tech wants them, they will outbid you.

Just assume that at any moment they can and will get poached and ensure that the business can continue if people leave. Keep the stack simple, stick to standards, minimize NIH etc.
It is perfectly reasonable to ask why they facilitated immoral actions.

Ceramics and glasses are typically very sensitive to thermal gradients, so it's difficult to produce parts with SLS/SLM without cracking. This method is more common with ductile plastics and metals, and for structural application is still a WIP,

This is closer to a binder-jetting method, but a binder-glass composite can also be used for subtractive manufacturing which is typically very challenging with ceramics due to cracking.

One problem with your argument (from a political perspective) is that it undermines the entire system of mandatory disclosures (for drug warnings, investor relations, real estate, etc.). Accepting this argument means that all the (many) disclosure-based lawsuits and regulatory actions taken against companies are blatantly unjust, as they are based on the idea that consumers can and should read lengthy, confusing documents.

I should add that despite what people here are saying, the complexity of the wording is usually driven by legal requirements, not a desire to confuse people.

> The strategies we use to optimize our own possibilities for success encompass one set of options. Then the strategies that will optimize success for groups are slightly different.

These are words to live life by.

What works for the 'person' often does not work for the 'people'.

Systemic inequalities only truly reveal themselves in statistics. Thus, an individual anecdote by a 'person' serves no purpose for a policy that's created for the 'people' what-so-ever.
On the other hand though, those anecdotes are central to the 'person' and 'persons' who associate with them. Now, treating those same anecdotes with indifference can be catastrophic to your 'person'-al relationship.

It's how as a country I encouraging STEM as a policy for the people is a great idea. However, pushing/incentivizing your own child towards STEM when they clearly want to do something else is not so great.

As humans we need to compartmentalize the way we empathize, strategize and process emotions along the same lines of 'people' vs 'persons'.

> Apple is violating antitrust laws by forcing companies to use Apple Pay as a condition of using the App Store

I think you're mixing up Apple Pay with in-app purchases. Apple Pay is for real-world purchases. In-app purchases are for digital goods or services. If we're talking about music streaming, we're talking about in-app purchases, not Apple Pay. Apple don't force you to use Apple Pay for anything, in fact they won't let you use Apple Pay in this situation.

I fully agree. The "I" in IDE (Integrated) has not aged well, just look at how many parts of the software development cycle are outside of the IDE. It's time to really integrate/bundle everything in a way that makes sense.

Things I want in my IDE:

- monitoring/alerting (how many times is this method executed, how long does it take, how many errors, etc)

- discussions as in Google Docs on code fragments, rather than "comments" that are part of the git history (comments are an orthogonal concern from checked in code)

- visual representation of my code base

- ultra fast automated test that cover only what I recently changed

- a documentation system that makes sense

I'm not sure I completely agree with this: electronics refers specifically to (essentially) anything concerning the control/emission of electrons (so transistors, thermionic valves, etc.); it's not just "advanced electrical engineering".

The divide you're talking about exists in both electrical and electronic engineering, if they are to be considered separate disciplines: in electronic engineering you have both the solid state physics required to understand semiconductor devices, and the layers of abstraction used to design analogue circuitry; in electrical engineering you have all the theory of electromagnetism, and the layers of abstraction used to design electrical machines.

The divide you're referring to is real, but it definitely isn't the electrical/electronic divide.
Thanks so much, really appreciate the comment here :)
I forgot to mention, my experiences are all based on EU countries. When we worked with US companies, we would occasionally joke that a 2 year tenure is considered long at the US companies we worked with. There would be people joining / leaving their teams every single month.

In the teams I've been part of, average tenure at the company was over 5 years in every single case. In one case over 15 years.

These are all development positions. Management positions and marketing positions did tend to move around a bit more often.
If you aren't using their payment systems you aren't using that specific infrastructure or dev tools though. This isn't about someone wanting Apple's (super nice) payment system for free, it's about Apple forcing them to use it instead of their own solution.

Now for a beancounter it may seem that spending £6k a month on someone, then pissing them off by making a £10 a month saving, it worthwhile. That's because the beancounter doesn't factor in the cost of pissing people off.

I think "feeling" safe is an important component of a product. Of course the product has to also be effective, but if it's effective and people still don't trust it, then they won't use it. A good example of a similar situation is in the US military where we had to do yearly chemical weapons training that involved putting on a gas mask in a room filled with tear gas. The gas masks were already proven to work, but one purpose of the training was to make sure people trusted their equipment to keep them safe, making it more likely for them to use it when needed.

People of the age you're talking about aren't stupid and they're not taken in by people giving them saccharine messages about how things aren't hard and anyone can do them.

OK. If you are a student reading this then, well, firstly I'm not at all sure you're feeling discouraged from learning about the nature of reality and potentially world-changing computing frontiers because someone on the internet said it was a hard subject! But if you were, please don't be. Here's why.

Firstly, a lot of incredibly valuable and interesting things do require a bit of concentration and effort. I'm sure you know this.

But there are reasons to be optimistic! Here are some things to do:

1. Stay calm! Don't give up.

2. It's not at all obvious how to read technical stuff to start off with. Basically, the secret is to read the same paragraph a LOT of times! Everyone does that. No-one can understand it by reading it through once like a novel. If you find yourself reading the same paragraph 100 times you're on the right path because it means that you KNOW you haven't quite grasped all the ideas yet, and so you are becoming your own teacher in a way; setting your own standards for yourself.

3. You've got to be, or become, the sort of person who can concentrate on reading something challenging, in a quiet room. Talking to others is going to help a lot also, but there's a private side to this. You can compare it to training to be on a sports team at a more competitive level. There are going to be times when you're doing fitness training or whatever, and you're on your own, and it hurts because you're exhausted. You know this was always part of the deal.

4. Don't listen to the people who tell you that it's "easy" and "anyone can do it". Yes, anyone can do it in in the sense that everyone has the biological potential to do it (they're human, they have a perfectly good brain). But you know perfectly well, just by looking around at your classmates that some people don't have, or at least don't currently have, the attitude that's going to let them do it. You don't have to be weird; you just need to let one side of your personality be a studious side, occupying some fraction of your time.
