It sounds like your fourth paragraph is exactly what Auden was disagreeing with.

But I think there's also room to consider if the act of creating the work/art encompassed some of the abhorrence. Like, if a non-abhorrent movie had an abhorrent production. That has an extra wrinkle compared to Pound's poetry. Because then it could be argued that the abhorrence was instrumental in the art's creation, even if the art itself was ostensibly innocent.

> If Amazon were willing to pay 30% on every book purchased, do you think Apple would still refuse to let customers purchase books through the Kindle app?

No, that's the whole point.

>I'd love to hear Apple explain what the worst case scenario is for consumers if they were to let Netflix customers sign up the app, let Amazon customers buy books in the app, or play streaming games?

Infrequently heard perspective is that very often (non-tech) people call in to apple support about purchases made in apps on the iPhone. Apple owns the in-app purchasing of ALL purchases in app, and can reverse and refund the purchase. Worst case scenario is apple has to say "we can't help you" and they probs don't want that. When you stream a game/app instead of get it from App Store, apple can't say its a good experience or not broken, they can't refund or audit. Think about how apple was going to ban social media apps that allow p*rnographic content. They couldn't guarantee content on app... so ban it unless the app could self-censor.

You can say apple shouldn't care about the quality/type of content, and people should be smart enough to distinguish 3party apps from apple apps... yet talk to Apple Support workers, and they'll tell you that people don't.

Android, like google, has no real support services at all. Tons of people buy Apple because of support, and they will defend their ability to support (and take a nice fat chunk $$) until someone tells them its illegal.
Microsoft has implemented their own text controls system in their apps. It's annoying as heck to me. I should say it's not true in Teams and OneNote. I'm guessing they are electron apps.
I don't get that at all. Woz vs Jobs is not an apt analogy at all. Jobs was never risk averse. He saw what could be done and how to make money off of it. Apple is a Trillion dollar company as a result and Woz is a billionaire.
> it's the same thing

It is not. Masks are meant to protect everybody, they are not meant to protect yourself. I'm not in favor of preventing consenting mentally stable adults from doing basically anything to themselves and – to answer your question – I would obviously object to other people forcing me into adopting any unreasonable habit. But this is about protecting society and risk groups.

> IMO the pushiness is the problem, not what is being pushed.

By "the pushiness" do you mean the laws that are in place to force people to do things? Because those are pretty common in all sorts of situations.

Or do you mean the general attitude by commentators (in the media/on twitter etc.) towards people not abiding by those laws?
> So yes, Covid is worse, but we don't bat an eye at 65k deaths due to the flu.

1) Only as long as they are old people. The moment flu kills even a couple children, everybody goes apoplectic.

2) I suspect that one of the takeaways from Covid is going to be that viruses (even flu) cause a lot more long-term damage than we give them credit for. Nobody was funding brain or circulatory scans for flu patients--we're going to get some of that data as a side benefit of all the Covid analysis.
Never thought of that, good idea, now I have to give it a shot. Thanks!
Not my experience. 4 years ago I offered 3 people in the US a job. All declined it. They were looking north of $175k. All were in very low cost of living places. They would live like a king or queen on that salary there. I was offering $125k. It was a very quick conversation, too. Once they knew that, they bailed.

I can understand a layman bashing Chinese companies for alleged spying but any engineer should know better if they're not interested in addressing similar issues in American companies and government. I think the best way would be to require all software products to be open source (the source-available flavor, not duplication), and additionally create a culture that refuses to accept invasive tracking. A more ambitious approach would be to create a corps of engineers that develop high quality open source alternatives to the current tech stack with privacy as a paramount value - at bare minimum a new OS and browser. Dunno if either would be successful but this jingoism about which country's apps are more intrusive is obfuscating the problem.
My shit don't stink kinda argument. The majority of the arguments defending the US by comparison, to me comes as propaganda. If you are a patriot American you should be using the Chinesse situation as leverage to get better accountability and transparency from the gov instead of trying to point out how other governmnets are just worst.

I assume you're talking about the "feel" of Cherry switches. Which many people really like.

As for reliability, I don't know how readily available they are any more, but IMO the true "gold standard" is Hall Effect, because it's contactless.

Hall effect keyboards used to be quite common 45 years ago in heavy data entry applications (e.g. people who spent their days entering typewritten manuscripts submitted by authors, years before every writer used a word processor).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_technology#Hall-effec...

Contactless is great because there's no mechanical key bounce or contact wear. Some quick googling showed that Cherry (at least once upon a time) made hall effect keyswitches. But they're probably too expensive for most applications.
(Not sure if your question is rhetorical, apologies if so)

It’s a flywheel. Investors give preferential to local teams, which leads to teams having to hire local, which reinforces the prices. The big tech that can’t really move or adapt to a more remote workforce pushes the salaries up, local cost of living rises, and the cycle continues. The cost to move from that culture is extremely high, so the salary differences end up being “justifiable”
You can already do that. It's called trains and buses, lol.

I think the most surprising insight is his commentary on Heart of Darkness as a novel about bureaucracy -- it's worth a read.
Since I made this comment yesterday I've thought it about it. lot more. I did some more research and discovered there is a franchise!! around sidewalk repairs exploiting ADA requirements from schools, govt buildings, etc type places that have to maintain compliance.

So the comments referring to this being a shake down are pretty much on point. I mean it isn't much of a surprise.

There's real value to what this service offers, people do want to fix mangled sidewalks, but the shakedown side of the business is where the money is at unfortunately (or not depending on your morals).

Also I was off on the costs, in the email it said there were 2 spots affected and the estimate was $280!!
It took the guy ~2 days to do the whole neighborhood, each section took maybe 15mins at what looked like a comfortable pace. So the $/hr is very high.

Why are you counting the increased ill effects of staying home but not the decreased ill effects of leaving home? No more car accidents, for example.
> Huge numbers of ordinary people have been lulled into spending vast amounts of money buying property in the patently false belief that property values never go down over the long term.

I don't know how to evaluate that claim as it's currently phrased. Adjusting for inflation in either the US or UK we see that whilst house prices do of course go up and down, like any asset, the trend is upwards.

So I would say that "property values never go down over the long term" is true-ish. The data says that if I put a gun to your head and said "I'm going to select a house at random in the UK or USA: will its value increase or decrease over the next twenty years?" you would be advised to say "Increase" (before asking a bunch of questions about whether this is really the most efficient way to determine whether someone lives or dies).

> The UK and the USA have seen a couple of crashes where over-leveraged property investors have gone broke

That's different from property values not going down in the long term, right?

> Does our society have an obligation to rescue property investors who are on the verge of bankruptcy?

This doesn't scan to me as I've understood it. Is the logic that because people have been "lulled into believing" that property is "safe", there's an obligation to rescue them because of their inexpertness?

I guess that's suggestive of the fact that you do not think they would have entered the market had they known about the possibility of it happening, right? (Assuming that anyone who was told that it would DEFINITELY happen to them would not have entered the market.)

> There is form here, of course. Banks were rescued when their bets on the property market went bad.

If I understand your logic then banks are professionals getting the market wrong, which implies a much more unlikely and unpredictable disaster. In any case I think the argument here is chiefly utilitarian: far more people benefit from a bank bailout than individual property investors being bailed out.

> Treating property as a consumer-grade investment is doing harm to our society.

From the position you've outlined above I think it's more likely that some form of fiscal illiteracy is the real issue, not the democratising of financial markets so that consumers can participate in them.

> Don't forget the '17 flu seasons was 65k deaths in the US. So we're at a little under 3x right now. So yes, Covid is worse, but we don't bat an eye at 65k deaths due to the flu.

How can we compare Covid numbers to the flu when the US has gone into lockdown, schools closed, everyone that can is WFH. No concerts or sporting events

totally different circumstances

Sweden might be a more accurate comparison since they didn’t go into full lockdown and it’s at 10x
I feel like permanent WFH is outsourcing real estate costs to the worker. This isn’t a big deal for some, since one may live alone or already have a home office, but it gets burdensome if there is more than one home worker in a household.
"Sebastian Rushworth M.D." clearly states at the beginning of his internet post that it's anecdotal, even though his bio suggests he's trying to correct internet misinformation with "science". It absolutely shouldn't be censored. I mean, if I was considering taking this guy's medical advice - I'd want to know about this.
Sweden didn’t go into total lockdown but still did a lot. In the grocery store the cashiers are in a plastic bubble. Wherever there is a line there are marks on the floor to show where to wait to keep distance. Nobody shakes hands for quite some time. Yes, people go to Cafes/restaurants but restaurants have been assessed and assigned covid-friendly seating layouts. There are many more things that clearly separate today from last year for daily life in Sweden.

So numbers going down and death rate staying low should be partly connected to this. Also, Sweden is quite a different country to begin with. Sparsely populated and half of all households are single person. So this ‘doctor’ is a bit careless while he tells the world to do like Sweden. It might end up much worse.

My point is that we shouldn't be copying the tactics of our competitors if we believe and accuse them to be wrong in the first place.

We've been accusing China of "unfair tariffs" when in reality we actually benefit from exploiting their cheap labor and sell them back the same iPhone they assembled for something like 10x the markup. Trying to say this is a reactionary tariff is disingenuous, when the trade balance has been in this state for decades, and the only real reason we're starting to ban their tech exports is because it's getting dangerously competitive with our own. It's shaking our foundational beliefs that our system is destined to win, and now we're resorting to the tactics of our rivals in a moment of insecurity.
Only thing anyone can do is go to a shoe store, buy some running shoes and start running like 5 to 10 miles a week. Lay out in the sun and start eating healthier. If you can't run just walk. Play basketball, play soccer whatever. Why do people worry so much about things they can't control, when there are things they actually can control. If some of my facebook friends were more worried about walking everyday instead of who is and isn't wearing a mask they wouldn't be 250lbs.

32-bit means you have at most 4 gigs of address space to play with; pron implied that lower memory usage is the key savings of fibers vs threads, so I assume a 32-bit JVM will hit a memory limit a lot sooner.
I understand how this works, but it's not better, especially not for multi monitor setups. Switching between three dev-tools, two browser windows, five terminals and an editor or two makes the Mac way a horrible way to work:

First, select the application that you want to use now. All windows from that application, across all monitors are now brought to the front. Then, you switch to the window you want to use. Most of these windows have no clear way of communicating to the user that it is active, so you have to look at each of the available windows to see if it's active or not.

Let's say that I have a monitor with three terminal windows on. I don't want to close them or minimize them, as I will need them again shortly. Now, I want to open a browser window above those three terminal windows, so I open it. Now, I want to move a single one of those terminal windows on top of the browser window, while keeping the other two below the browser window. Nope, not possible. On Mac, I have to use the mouse to pick the right terminal window to achieve this.

I don't see why you need to wait for that. You already know the memory usage for 64-bit, and you implied elsewhere in this thread that memory usage is the key metric that makes these things cheaper than kernel threads. So you should be able to give an order of magnitude guesstimate even if no 32-bit port is in the works yet. Or no?
