I tried facebook today. It's garbage.

I only found ads, prostitution services, pages of kids that seemed inappropriate, rumours, fake news, x minute craft videos with medical misinformation, make up videos with toxic products, etc on my 15 minutes of usage.

Live streams of people similar to this: https://ibb.co/0yBqf1n

Facebook groups are full of living ads. Most pages recommended didn't have any activity this year.

Everything is turned on by default on the privacy settings page. It includes facial recognition, content analysis, phone number, birthday information, and whatever you shared on sign up (everything). That data is available for everyone else too by default and there is no way to make a profile completely private or hidden.
But surprisingly, even in “good schools”, when the same offense happens by minorities vs. non minorities, it is criminalized when done by minorities.

I was amazed at the stories my son told me about kids getting caught with drugs, hitting a coach, vandalizing property and all that happened was that the parents got called and a few days of suspension and the police were never involved. Because “kids will be kids”. Of course this is in a high income district.

When I was previously married living in a predominantly minority neighborhood - great neighborhood, lower income minority school district - my step daughter would tell me about the even the most minor of offenses where administrators would get the police involved.

There have been plenty of studies showing the unequal treatment of Black and White kids.

That makes me wonder, could they use a confession by someone they pumped full of ketamine an hour prior?
This is assuming that iOS and Android are “permanent platforms” and should be regulated + enshrined as utilities by a new generation of anticompetitive law.

As a former Atari, Commodore, and IBM user, I find this to be an argument that doesn’t understand the history of tech platforms and the dynamics of competition.

People really forget that the world existed prior to 2008, and are convinced “this time is different”. It really isn’t.

If someone is waving a knife or gun about and is a danger to others, I would say there is a moral difference. I am assuming that the police use it mainly for cases like that, but that is just an assumption. It still seems better than shooting at them.

This appears to be really shoddy research and once again illustrates why a macro economic approach to this problem simply doesn't work and why public have stopped listening.

The researchers are trying to use a system level risk returns balance and using very high level average metrics like risk of reduction in lifespan. How about the distribution around the mean and how about the suffering of people who undergo cancer treatments and survive? Having seen a close relative battle cancer and the family suffering, i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy and their families.

The other piece these macro economic approaches miss is that while a system level cost isn't much, for most people their property, their job and their neighbourhood social networks ARE the major assets they have in life and in the case of nuclear accidents, they lose everything. This fundamentally Behavioral Economics view of consequences is what drives the recent popular opposition to nuclear power and unless nuclear proponents start analyzing nuclear power through a Behavioral Economics lens, they're likely going to be ignored by the population. Comparing risk of death against statistical correlations with air pollution isn't going to cut it.

On nuclear, we're barking up the wrong tree by pushing for economic analysis of old style nuclear. We need to develop and qualify designs that are passively safe with no risk of driving people away from their property and society before the industry will be taken seriously, otherwise the only interest will be in weapons research.
Apple makes apps, and the last thing anyone wants is to have knockoff apps claiming to be made by Apple (e.g. a knockoff apple music app for Android).

Half of those "security" features are at best useless and at worst more DRM features anyways. And yes, the firmware update mechanisms in android are abysmal in general, but that this is slightly better in google phones doesn't mean that it is good anywhere. For the most part, lineageOS is on par with any random android vendor there. No better and no worse. For software updates, it is generally far better.
Hey, author here.

To reiterate, this really is the happiest I've been.

The initial few months were not smooth (as indicated by the article). Mostly because was an expectation mismatch with respect to how comfortable I believed/was made to believe life would be for an "ex-FAANG engineer" starting up.

Also, the loneliness I felt was more about not having someone to rant to about roadblocks or share small achievements with. This was something I had taken for granted at work.

I wrote down this essay now after I felt that I was in a comfortable place, and that there were learnings that could possibly benefit someone going through a similar journey.

> a zombie startup

That's definitely the case now, and will be for a few more months. I've never been a fan of "ship fast, apologize later". So while it's less exciting to work on a product that's not live, it's something I'm okay with.

This is addressed in my comment and by the fact checkers, it's a "No True Scotsman"

Which would be fair comment if the fact checkers applied this to all articles.

Like what 'the general public' would consider "Defund the police" or "medically necessary abortion"

If you are an adult you will know "medically necessary abortion" is a sometimes used loophole in places to do non-medical abortions until it can be legislated.

If the fact checkers also put false on "medically necessary abortion" when it was misused by the other side then that would be fair and unbiased. But they don't.

> So now you expect Congress to force Apple to sell you an iPad at the same price it sells to a corporation that buys 1000s?

I honestly expect the congress to remove Apple powers as gatekeeper

If the Apple Store is the only store for iOS devices, they have to allow any app in and let the authorities handle misbehaviour

Apple is not a National State, so it shouldn't act as the ruler and dictator of the State.

I expect congress to force Apple to remove control over what's inside the box.

If I buy a product on Amazon when I open the box I can find a lot of promotional material put there by the manufacturer and sometimes even discount codes for affiliated businesses or coupons for other online stores, Amazon can't tell them to remove it or go elsewhere

Apple should allow promoting the product inside the apps as well

It’s far more complex than that. I live in a country that has successfully implemented a regional response to COVID 19 with the national government playing the role of coordinator but not dictating policy. The failure in the US is a failure at all levels and on all sides. Forcing policy from the top wouldn’t have worked any better if you don’t have trust and competence at local levels.
What would "this way" constitute? I can't claim to speak for the incel community but my guess would be that in general they are probably not seeking out hideous women, but they're probably not turning down offers either.

Anecdotally, as a virginal twentysomething, long before incels were a thing, I had the idea that I might be better off targeting the lower end of the beauty spectrum. I don't think it makes much difference to your chances of success. Women don't generally think "well seeing as I'm physically hideous, I'd better accept this unappealing romantic offer". I eventually ended up having some totally hot partners, as well as rejections from less conventionally beautiful people.

There's also the issue that you probably wouldn't have a very active or joyous sex life, which your partner will probably have a problem with even if you don't.

I lived in Singapore and while I was there, I used MyRepublic's mobile plans. The plan I was using was $24(SGD) a month for 17G. Rarely had connectivity issues though for the most part, I stayed in the more populated areas so I may not have had the same connectivity issues as you.

One of the nice things was that each telco would keep changing their plans to be better and better so it paid to pay attention and change plans whenever a better one came along.
So it’s not about abolishing the police. “Defund the police”, which I agree is a bad term, is about focusing some of those funds on social programs and only calling the police for true criminal causes.

I am definitely not a conservative on most issues, but I am a strong believer in the right to have a gun in your own home and the various “Castle” laws. If you break into my house or try to take my car while I am in it, I am going to assume you mean me harm. Shoot first then call the cops.

Yes I know the statistics about a gun in the home is more likely to be used accidentally or on purpose (suicide/homicide/accidental shooting) against someone in the home.

Dear ImGui is a great library, and immediate mode GUIs work really well for "data-centric applications" that don't want to replicate their primary data model in the terms of a UI framework.

But for a standalone app you'll need much more. You probably need file dialogs, you might need working menus (ImGui can draw menus, but provides nothing in the way of keyboard shortcuts), you might need translations, you might need accessibility -- in terms of accessibility ImGui apps are literally just a framebuffer. Nothing, nada.
Interesting website, thanks for the link! Always insightful comments from you on this topic :)
There's no way that Apple would risk diluting the value of their Apple mark by producing any product with any other fruit on it, or even associated with it.

The closest I can think of would be some sort of home-services line they might want to spin up that would be in Prepear's market. But even that seems so far different from what they do today that I can't see how it integrates short of an entire Apple Life ecosystem where everything you do is Apple.
>Google shows me shopping results for 195 50/16 car tires, the right size for my car

That's actually a really interesting example. The tire sizes for a 2020 Honda Insight EX are either 215/55/16 or 215/50/17 [0].

So taken at face value, the filter bubbling was either incorrect or Google was just returning results for a very common tire size in this case.

I agree that context is important, but Google doesn't return results blindly when they are not able to do personalization. They already know the results that millions (billions?) of other people who have searched for tires have clicked and found relevant.

You are wrong. You are demonstrably wrong, in that you can just observe that almost every "disadvantage" that incels talk about (as I understand it), also exists in 40-50 year olds who are happily married.

E.g. being short is certainly a disadvantage when dating, that's obviously true - but it's just as obviously true that being short does not mean you will be an incel for life - how can you possibly think that it does, given the myriad short people who are doing just fine. Can they date literally any partner they want? No, no one can. But can they date someone, can they be non-celibate? Yes, demonstrably so.

It's certainly true that everyone is a mix of more desirable attributes and of less desirable attributes, and some people get a bigger mix than others. Some are mutable, some are immutable.

The big problem with the incel worldview (as I understand it) is that it's completely binary - you are either capable of finding a sexual partner, or not, and some traits (that they believe they have) mean that they are on the wrong side. But that's just utterly unfounded, again, because take any trait that is supposedly disqualifying, and you'll find someone (plenty of someones) with those traits that are in sexual relationships.
Everybody keeps citing how “Steve Jobs wanted web apps” from Walter Isaacson’s biography, but I don’t think he was all that strongly dead set against them:

He was against them “partly because he felt his team did not have the bandwidth to figure out all the complexities that would be involved in policing third-party app developers.”

https://www.cultofmac.com/125180/steve-jobs-was-originally-d...

In my opinion, I don’t think Steve was actually against an App Store by any sort of philosophical ideal. He was working with a much smaller Apple was trying to get a 1.0 product out the door.

The iPhone barely worked long enough to run the demos for the original keynote. I recall reading that it was a miracle that the software got through it without crashing. “Web apps” was the excuse for the App Store not being ready: personally I think it was part of the plan by that point.
It’s not about the training of police, it’s about the track record of police misconduct and coverups. Any additional tool in the tool belt of police to commit aggression is worrisome.
In a somewhat recent local election, polling was showing the incumbent party winning easily. Of course, on election night, the left leaning party won and displaced the party that lead my province for 40 years, a huge upset that no one predicted.

It was also an election full of robocalls, mainly by the incumbent party. My thoughts on why polling was so off is that the only people answering their phone were those that supported the incumbents.

If you are a person supporting Party X and they are calling each day with a pre-recorded message, you may be more likely to answer. You are more likely to continue to answer your phone and respond to a pollster. If you support Party Y and the only phone calls you get are robocalls from Party X, you stop answering your phone, including those calls from the pollsters. Therefore the pollsters are actually measuring who is willing to answer their phone.
The music and narration during the explosion reminded me of 1950/1960's sci-fi movies.

Unless things changed a lot in the last ~three or so years, Non-Linux platforms like Mac and Windows aren't really in the focus of Gtk+. In the past ~five years a large number of cross-plattform Gtk+ applications redeveloped their UIs in "Not-Gtk+" (usually Qt). Wireshark, Subsurface, Openshot and LXDE come to mind, these are all pretty large, UI-centric projects, so replacing the toolkit is a lot of work and wouldn't be something you'd do just for shits and giggles.

If you really, really want your app to use Gtk+ on Linux and be reasonable elsewhere, consider wxWidgets.
