Are you even interested in the PhD or in the subject itself? I think if not, then no internal motivation works.

I tend to think of myself as a really internally motivated person, as I have a various hobbies that I cultivate that requires disciplines in muscular and mental side. But I am interested in all of those hobbies, and I never dread the moment where I have to train, practice, or study related to those subjects.

No end goal in sight for me, it is purely for internal enjoyment. Maybe one day create a youtube/instagram channel for fun and showoff but that's about it.

> I have heard that it does not worth it because Linux users are less than 3% of desktop users, but AFAIK would be more than 30M users.

Depends on the product. If it's a paid SaaS product meant for targeting server applications or developers tools such as automation, then it makes sense for Linux support which is why most Adobe software isn't on Linux since most of their audience is on macOS and Windows.

If it's a GUI product, then you need to 'define Linux support'. You can't support all Linux users 100% of the time since they will be using different distros, thus you need to select 2-3 distros, make sure it runs perfectly on their system and maintain the instructions and updates as well. This sort of maintenance is less involved with Windows and macOS.

If it were me, I'd go where my largest target audience is and compete there first and support smaller demographics last if the demand is there.

In all honesty who is buying from these third parties, if something on Amazon isn’t fulfilled via Amazon, I’m not buying. If I’m looking for something on Best Buy the first thing I’m doing is looking for the Best Buy only toggle. Is it strictly to make points on the vendors sales? To give a false appearance of massive inventory? Could a third party vendor list “Item A” on eBay, Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart and have access to cross site APIs that when “Item A” is sold it’s removed from all market places? As a Canuck I’m happy for Shopify, as consumer I’m losing interest in online shopping, which might be futile with how everything is trending.

>It's not a good feature if you don't like cultural bubbles forming.

I agree with that, but I don't think that advertising will meaningfully impact that. From what I gather political advertising isn't used to change opinions of opposition, it's precisely targeted. It's used to help sway undecided and make your own vote base actually register for voting and vote. People from groups with differing opinions already haven't been seeing the advertisement.
100% agree with this.

Can be and is the only sole option. Even if Apple's app store is baked in, I wouldn't balk at any commissions they feel comfortable with and any draconian rules they use to extort developers as long as users would have the possibility to install apps outside of the store, but as it's impossible (unless you jailbreak which can be more or less impossible on some devices) it creates a huge issue.

There's definitely benefits on being listed on the app store and developers should have the option to weigh the benefits against the cons to see if it makes sense to allow Apple to dictate their publishing methods and cuts they're taking vs self publishing, but that's currently not an option.

Something often not accounted for is these stores offer gift cards at much higher payment fee rates (seemingly at least 10%). And you need to avoid a scam where developers just syphon that through.

I believe at least some of the time they also do currency conversion for you which typically nets another 3%

Of course they could always charge a variable commission based on the funding source etc and also charge less than 30 still (eg Apple Cleary thinks it can do 15%). But their cut is not always as simple as 3% or less.

You can most usefully talk about a topic you have extensive personal experience with and which forced you to think about the topic deeply.

I can usefully talk about MySQL because I used it in a multi-year project that pushed its performance to the limit. I cannot usefully talk about Cassandra - the most I have done with it is install it.

Similarly, I can usefully talk about the experience of a male Russian immigrant to the US. I cannot usefully say much about the experience of a black woman who lived in the US since birth - I have not lived it, all my sources would be second-hand; my listener would be best served by referring to the sources directly.

I may suggest that to find out about the experience of black Americans, it's best to refer to the words of actual black Americans.

IMHO, that’s a feature, as long as it’s possible for apps to be malicious.

I’m a relatively experienced dev, but even I don’t have the tools or time to figure out whether some app is safe. So when I had Android hardware, I mostly didn’t install apps.

My kids and parents don’t even have the experience to recognize that an app could possibly be malicious; they wouldn’t be able to figure it out even if they had the source code.

So I buy Apple hardware for all of them, specifically because I like Apple’s gatekeeping. Because 99.99% of app developers might be great people, but if you have an open system, it’ll be abused, and I have better things to worry about.
> The "echo chambers" explanation, in particular, seems wrong. Echo chambers always existed.

The echo chambers haven't gotten worse at all. They've become easier to observe in action and quantify, because social media is leaving a giant digital trail that everyone can observe (whereas previously the average person didn't leave much of a partisan trail/record for observation or study or reporting). The perception that the echo chambers have gotten worse is merely the horror of seeing the already existing echo chambers in action so vividly now that everything is recorded and everyone has a bullhorn.
That really doesn't change anything. If you want to do business in the US (and everyone does) then you're subject to US laws. "Jurisdiction" here is simply a question of how a country defines it and is willing and able to prosecute it.

For example, if two US citizens on US soil discuss insider trading of an Australian company that does not even do business in the US using trades on US brokers, those two individuals are in violation of the Australian Corporations Act and can be criminally prosecuted (by Australian authorities). Why? Because Australia claims jurisdiction over any Australian company.

Likewise, "sex tourism" with children in South East Asia is rampant and many countries are unwilling or unable to prosecute. Australia has deemed having sex with an underage person in a foreign country is likewise a crime in Australia that they can and do prosecute.

The US is able to to exercise a lot of power with international banks because they have the power to remove a financial institution's access to the US banking system. It's this stick that allowed the IRS to go after Swiss banks for complicity in US citizens evading US taxes.
No, you moved the goalposts.

The original person you replied to said "Same with a Firefox extension." not a "nightly or developer build of Firefox extension".

> But they are going away to just regular, boring voting because this chaos makes many people uncomfortable and it FEELS better to have a top-down, clean, organized, designed approach.

I am strongly opposed to caucuses, but not for the reasons mentioned. I'm actually fine with the disorder, the chaos, the shouting.

What I'm not okay with is the time commitment required. It seriously disenfranchises those who cannot afford to take an entire evening in order to vote.

It creates a significant discrepancy between those who are privileged enough not to see the time commitment as a significant burden, and those who do.

(Not to say regular voting is perfect. Look at the recent elections in GA for a counter-example, where voters had to wait in line for hours)

Anyway, none of this is really relevant to your main thesis, but I did want to run down the tangent and present the case for why I think caucuses are bad that doesn't focus on disorder.
I think you might want to brush up on more recent news, because by now Cambridge Analytica’s data has been shown to have been mostly useless at meaningful targeting. Even the New York Times reported that Cambridge Analytica’s impact on the election of Donald Trump as president was overrated.

https://stratechery.com/2018/the-facebook-brand/

From the article:

“But a dozen Republican consultants and former Trump campaign aides, along with current and former Cambridge employees, say the company’s ability to exploit personality profiles — “our secret sauce,” Mr. Nix once called it — is exaggerated. Cambridge executives now concede that the company never used psychographics in the Trump campaign. The technology — prominently featured in the firm’s sales materials and in media reports that cast Cambridge as a master of the dark campaign arts — remains unproved, according to former employees and Republicans familiar with the firm’s work.”

Imagine you have a function f in f.c:

void f() {
puts("hello, world!");
}

and you want to call it in main.c:

int main() {
f();
}

this is an error because the compiler treats each .c file separately, so when it’s compiling main.c, it isn’t looking at f.c, so it has no way to know the function f exists. So you need to “declare” it at the top of main.c. A declaration is similar to a definition, except it has no code, and just tells the compiler that the function exists:

void f();

But now imagine f.c had many functions. It would be extremely cumbersome to repeat all those declarations in every file that wants to use them. So you can collect all the declarations in some file f.h, and include it from main.c or anywhere else you want to use functions from f.c. When the compiler sees #include "f.h", it operates as if the contents of f.h were copied and pasted at that point.

You might ask “why not just include f.c from main.c instead?” Because then you would have two _definitions_ of f in your program (one in f.c and one in main.c), which is illegal, as opposed to two declarations, which is fine.
It is more of a mistake now than in the past. In the 1930s, yeah sending checks to everyone as a form of stimulus would have been highly complex and difficult. Banks were the only society wide economic linkages at the time. That is less true today. Today you can sends cash to a large portion of people with existing infrastructure and clearly you could get near 100% with a dedicated platform/process to do so.

> Am I the only one here that thinks they deserve a cut for building such a platform?

Let me rephrase the question. Should a company be allowed to extract as much money as possible from consumers simply because they benefited from an economic environment that cannot support a large number of competitors?

Besides, what did Apple actually build? They didn't write those apps. The people/companies that did all the actual work were the ones that "built" the platform.
The word "privilege" is derived from the Latin "privilegium" , specifically its historical medieval use in laws like the Privilegium Maius and the Privilegium Minor, both of which were legal instruments of autocracy and imperialism. I think you should reconsider your use of imperialism-inspired language.

Why 12%? Seems like a completely arbitrary number, with 0 market input. Why shouldn't it be 40% for that matter, if a bureaucrat is going to set it?

This is the major issue in cases like this, who sets the number? How do they calculate it? How do you know if Apple will be able to sustain an app store with that number? I'm not saying they can't, but will that mean, for example that their approval process for apps won't be as vigorous and we get lots of scam apps?

The worst possible thing here is if some random number is set by some random person who thinks they're _very clever_.

It's not going to stop a financial crisis since the system refuses to help regular people past this July in August you can easily anticipate serious problems for the banks that could easily overwhelm the entire system.

>Is this supposed to be a good thing in a game?

Absolutely. Maybe not for a sport, but unless you're talking about the pure competitive aspect of it, most games benefit from having that level of accessibility. Bad players need to feel like they can win games. Even if they don't know how, they'll feel like they can win again.

One of the big draws to any game is the idea that you aren't just measuring your skill/experience at the game against everyone else playing, it's like when everyone comes over to play Super Smash Bros but you can tell the host has been playing on his own to practice, it takes a lot of the fun out of it. You can also use the example in SSB of playing with items on. Sure, really competitive players will hate the randomness that comes from items but the whole point of that randomness is to give everyone else a fighting chance.

I guess it depends on what you want out of a "game". If you're only looking at it through the lens of Chess where luck is virtually nonexistent and skill is the ultimate deciding factor, you're going to take a lot of issue with anything that upsets that balance. But, in practice, most people play games for enjoyment, not for sport.

You forgot inflationary pressure from all the "free" money. That is what really upset me the most about the 2008/etc situation. I was looking to buy a house, and you would have never known there was a housing crisis where I lived (Austin).

The banks were more than willing to sit on assets than actually sell foreclosed properties at market values. So while the housing prices went down slightly, your talking maybe a 10% after a decade of 10% a year increases. The "dip" didn't even last 2 years.

I myself made an offer on a forclosed/vacant house, and the bank counter offered above the listing price.

I had friends who tried to buy already forclosed houses and literally sat around for a year+ waiting for the banks to accept their offers. Eventually like me, actually buying other properties.
Tools to facilitate remote pair programming in Neovim?
I don't want tmux. I'm sure that's going to be the #1 suggestion so I'm putting this statement at the very top to hopefully prevent those. Please read on.

In case it's relevant, host and guest are both on macOS.

Things I want:

1. multi cursor (each user can edit simultaneously)

2. each user has their own keybindings, theme, etc so that the guest doesn't have to guess the host's keybindings

3. super-fast

4. decentralized for security purposes. In other words, nothing is sent to another party or server

5. prefer something free

6. not require creating an additional user in the OS (thinking of tmux here, to do things safely you should create a restricted user that your guest ssh into)

I'm aware of:

* [TypeInTandem](https://github.com/typeintandem/nvim). Might work? Haven't dug into it yet, though their website http://typeintandem.com/ can't be found and there's no commits in 2 years.

I'd hope I'd be smart enough to see how completely corrosive it's been to Apple.

Apple's software reputation was invincible ten years ago, and now it's shipping Mac apps that can't even full screen video properly. I think, in the long run, that will cost the company far more than it gains from it's behaviour.
