Not on windows, but that depends on the OS. On Linux the handlers are pluggable via binfmt (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binfmt_misc) and this allows for example wine and .net binaries to work transparently.

For those unaware of the connection, Robert Mercer was also a key investor behind Cambridge Analytica, the data firm which played a large role in the hyper targeted Facebook ads during the 2016 election.

And they sure as hell won’t know what they would have wanted to want in 20 years time.
In a group chat one friend asked if they’ve heard about Parler.

Another responded “Yeah it’s a new app for right wing circle jerk”

That alone is the reason Parler exist. Anything that goes against the views of the liberal left is automatically deemed trash/conspiracy.
It’s not just Einstein being born, it’s Einstein being born in a place where the person has access to education, funds, and an environment conducive to a civilization changing breakthrough.

For example Peter Higgs says that what he accomplished would no longer be possible today with how modern academia works: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/dec/06/peter-higgs-...

Overall I’m pessimistic that another Einstein is possible in the timeframe that we need them and that they would have the motivations to solve the problems that we need solved.

My cynical view is that realistically another Einstein would probably just get sucked into figuring out how to use big data analytics to get users to click on ads all so they could buy a $2M three bedroom house in the Bay Area.
Plenty of people on Reddit and TikTok are getting banned on Parler for posting liberal ideas [1].

It's not free speech. It's one-sided.

> some futuristic delivery tech (Rainbows End-style pneumatic cannons?)

You are closer to the truth than you may realize.

It's a little-known fact that there once was an underground tunnel that delivered piping hot burritos from the SF Bay Area to hungry customers in New Jersey.

Behold the Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel:

If you entangle different interfaces together in the same place, changing them becomes even more complicated and error-prone. So adhering to SOLID principles leaves you with hopefully less of a mess. Usually each interface has each their own nuances, but also how to compose them in scope, processing sequences and time, may introduce complexity, side effects and additional workarounds, or frameworks.

Don't just adhere to something blindly. Keep it as simple as possible and iterate on designs until they make practical sense. The focus is on concrete implementations and results.

Yes, it's otherwise all opinion and fashion.

One such is that all abstractions comes with costs, and that they are usually just indirections and filters for the real thing. The word itself, is tough to communicate clearly and reason about. Ditto on refactoring, which doesn't explain much as well.

Concretely, if you minimize dependencies, entanglement and compose a minimal solution well, it is easier to evolve the code later after learning more from practical experience and new ideas. So it's often about waiting until the benefits clearly outweighs the costs of abstraction.
I expect Apple to take the opposite path, not immediately, but eventually: disable sideloading and enforce a Mac App Store only policy on macOS, similar to iOS. After all, if all apps are reviewed and approved by Apple, there is no malware that can use this weakness or the future ones.

And I am sure the 30% cut and $100 annual fee has nothing to do with the decision either. Apple only cares about customers, not money. /s
> What's the rush?

FIRE is one reason. External validation is one reason. Life after school nonclarity is one reason (this ticks a box). Even if you have ideas to start a new company or venture, there is the brand value(e.g you will see many article like "Ex-FAANG employee quit their XXX,XXX 6-figure job to pursue Y)

Lots of PR value there. Many new startups literally use the fact that their current employees previously worked at a FAANG company as part of their recruiting info, about-page, pitch.

> Now, the companies are competing to grab market share, and most restaurants still have the same restaurant kitchen, so we haven't seen those changes, but I think it's just a matter of time.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. delivery is inherently less profitable for the restaurant. a single employee can serve many more dine-in and especially take-out customers in an hour than they can as a delivery driver. at the same time, you are throwing maintenance and insurance for a vehicle into the equation. you can push a lot of this cost onto the driver, but not all of it. I also doubt that the location savings are that substantial. you don't need to lease the prime real estate that everyone walks by, but you still need to be within a 15-20 minute drive of your customer base. any property within 20 minutes of a dense area tends to be expensive to rent.

there are already a few take-out/delivery only places in my area. the only ones that seem to be doing well have pretty bad food for the price.
Do you have any evidence of this? From the article that seems like it violates their entire purpose for existing.

Instagram putting the “Reels” TikTok knock off crap that no one uses front and center in their new interface smells the same as Google forcing Google+ down everyone’s throats. It’s desperate and annoying.

This whole thread is going to be:

* I'm not a liberal but..

* I'm not a conservative but..

* Twitter may be a private company, but..

* Freedom of speech but...

If there is a new view point on how to analytically break such news down that would be great to hear indeed!
Because then VC's couldn't package them up as mostly-monopolized markets and flip them to a megacorp for crazy high returns
I know this is gonna sound corny, but apply for jobs at any of the big 4 to learn the industry, and after a couple years you’ll know the companies you want to work for and have connections through co-workers who have left. Consulting is all about politics and connections, so thinking those aren’t directly correlated to wealth is naive.
One of the advantages Free Speech has is censorship is only worthwhile if deployed against ideas that have potential to attract people. One of my pet hobbies is arguing against socialism. I don't bother arguing against flat-earthism because nobody sane believes it. But socialism has some compelling points and people keep trying it.

That dynamic will help platforms like Parler. Whether or not the ideas are good ones, the people there going to be people who were pushed off Twitter because they had compelling or persuasive ideas.

Can't meet bad ideas by silencing people. It doesn't work, people just get the impression that the ideas have power.
No mention of reducing peak congestion in urban centers via telework. Congestion is non-linear with traffic levels, and a permanent moderate reduction in traffic during peak periods would reduce/eliminate the need for congestion taxes for the foreseeable future. That might mean impacting dense urban centers but that isn’t a reason not to mention it...oh, that’s right, Bloomberg.

Point 5 asks who’s against it, without mentioning the largest and probably most impacted group...the people who actually have to pay money for something they didn’t need to before. How can they make such an elitist oversight...oh, it’s Bloomberg.

This is an “everybody’s doing it, why don’t you” article designed to generate interest in an idea that was/is unneeded for 95%+ of the US population, and may be increasingly irrelevant if telework is here to stay.

It’s safe to say it’s instinctively repulsive to most commuters. Commuting is viewed as an unpleasant but necessary task by those doing it. These are also some of our most productive people. The idea of making commuting more time consuming and/or more expensive for these very people is a very hard sell in a democracy.

You can see it in the number of “it’s not so bad/it’s progress/it’s inevitable” articles that pop up on the top of searches, which means people just aren’t buying it.

It’s not the kind of thing that generates a lot of civic pride either. “We’re so congested that you have to pay just to drive here!” was never anyone’s idea of a slogan.
Updated my post with a link. I'll find more.
Why a good philosophical aphorism can be so powerful
Wild (probably wrong) theory: Apple doesn't want us to know how many developer certs they've had to revoke, and who owned them.
> Mac market share is less than 10% in the US, even lower in other countries

Do people on other platforms have so many security issues that Apple's measures are justified?
Time Machine backups waste space
It seems from reading this a few times that you think that a business requires paying other people to work for you. You contrast that with a "job".

For many people, the ideal situation is one where they are self-employed, not responsible for payroll, and making $20k/month (or whatever). They are not going to become part of the 1% doing that, but they will be able to lead a very comfortable, self-directed life.
The key is in understanding that the trade off is an illusion. App signing is de facto blacklisting. Anyone can get an app signed but Apple maintains a naughty list. It's just anti-virus by another name.

But you don't need signed apps for that, only hashes. And you don't have to phone home for that, only download the latest naughty list whenever it changes so you can check against it locally.
I feel the XR revolution is like fusion energy in how it's constantly 5 years away. Maybe I'm just jaded.
Both examples were chips that were basically bought by Intel. The Alpha was a monster, and the PA ended up being replaced by the Itanium.

When Woz left.
I recall discussing that Farnsworth–Hirsch fusor build with a particle physicist friend and from looking at the (very unshielded) apparatus we felt that it was extremely dangerous to operate for a lot of reasons (chiefly, but not nearly only, the neutron flux). Impressive work but really unwise.
Money and power has found a way to hack the first amendment. Algorithms are amplifying the most inflammatory messages on both sides to increase engagement.
It's still very new here, and most places just don't do it the way that you all do elsewhere in the world. I think I got my first one last year? And I bank with one of the biggest banks.

Even then, we have just the chip, no PIN.

(There is a PIN for like, ATM transactions, but if I go to Europe, I still have to sign, even if they do the contactless thing. Folks (reasonably) almost never expect it, and have to go find a pen...)
Plenty of kinds of malware are harmful each time they are launched, not just once.
There are limits to free speech which have been long established. The clear and present danger doctrine describes limits to free speech, in that you can't yell 'fire' in a crowded theater. When/if the amplification possible with social media is connected with mob violence, there could be prosecution. I don't think court systems and law enforcement are sophisticated enough yet, though.
Thank you. i will like you to contribute to the topic.

Sorry to be dense, but where in the article does it claim that GDP will grow forever?

An as an aside, GDP is only a proxy for how prolific an economy/country is. The country's output can continue to grow without generating more dollars.
Apple hasn’t banned any developers who stand against them.
Ah yes, the fear angle. "We need to restrict what you can do with your computer in order to keep you safe!" No thanks, I'll pass.

I do imagine that some people would go for that bargain, but it strikes me as short-sighted.
Don’t think so
I don’t know what’s coming, but Apple silicon seemed reasonably likely to match/surpass Intel chips a lot earlier than the A11... I think the A8 was the current chip when I realized it was coming, and I certainly don’t have any special/inside knowledge.
I think the word you used is accurate. My microwave looks like this [0] and has an actual handle. We have another, less expensive microwave that does have the push button like you're talking about. It might be a regulation in Germany/E.U?

That seems orthogonal to the primary concern of communism, which is to make sure no one goes without something they need, i.e. from everyone according to ability, to everyone according to need.

Lack of accounting for wants can make for an annoying, boring economic system, but that's a much lesser charge than the system is intrinsically genocidal. And if it's the difference between a boring system and a system where the rich oppress the poor, and many are forced to live miserable lives according to their less subjective needs like food, clothing, and shelter, then the former would be morally superior. Nor is it obvious why not accounting for wants would make an economic system less successful. I.e. if you have the best of the best bringing to bear the best technology and thought to improving the lives of everyone all at once, that seems superior to everyone trying to figure it out themselves. So, the 'subjective preference' objection does not seem very strong.
it's really not such a big deal. if I'm in a hurry, I just give them the card and they come back with a receipt to sign. if there's any issue, I'm confident amex will be happy to process my chargeback.

I think this is more of a cultural thing than anything. if americans are in a rush, we get takeout or go somewhere that doesn't have full table service. I think the "credit card ritual" is usually just a way to show they are not rushing you out the door.

something to understand about america: in general the protections for ordinary folks are pretty bad, but the act of paying for a good/service is sacred. if you (or one of your employees) fuck over a customer, they have ample remedies against you.
> "Pretty much all of my leftist friends joined Parler to screw with MAGA folks, and every last one of them was banned in less than 24 hours because conservatives truly love free speech," one user recently wrote on Twitter.

It sounds like they were banned for being antagonistic assholes, not for being liberals.

If I recall correctly, he was also one of the very few rich people to back Trump in 2016, when everyone had written Trump off. Which also caused some drama at Rentech.
1. Tech platforms are uncomfortable with certain viewpoints expressed on their platforms and seek to limit these viewpoints.

2. Instead of changing people’s minds (isn’t the evidence overwhelmingly conclusive that people rarely change political viewpoints?), people flock to “community bubbles” like Parler, TheDonald, etc where they feel welcome.

3. This marginalisation leads to increasing extremism; going from the likes of “immigrants bad” we saw in 2016 to disputing and attempting to overturn democracy.
All you need to do is to know about the linked page and have it open on another computer, disable some initial disk protections, reboot into recovery while holding down some unmentioned key combinations, disable further restrictions by typing in cryptic Terminal commands that don't match the public names of the features they affect, reboot again, type in more cryptic commands as root to modify deeply nested system files and perform filesystem voodoo, and then reboot yet again with an optional prayer. Repeat for every OS update.

Collecting these stories and weaving a narrative around them is basically productizing survivorship bias and many people have made a career of it. Just browse the bookshelf at your local Fedex Kinkos. E.g. Malcolm Gladwell, as was mentioned elsewhere in this thread.
There are plenty of reasons to think the mind is much more. Namely, consciousness, the portal for everything else we know about the material world, is itself completely impervious to a materialistic account.
That Reuter's piece is original reporting that Apple never responded to, so I would say that it's all but confirmed that they did in fact do this at the FBI's request.
Money and power has always hacked the first amendment. Before the internet, a few corporations controlled all media a person would be exposed to.
Probably around a decade ago I was diagnosed with a slew of things and put on, among other drugs, SSRI's. I never felt depressed at time. Interestingly, I felt angry, powerless, etc. but not depressed. The drugs really didn't feel like they had any effect on my mental state or behavior.

Then maybe around 2017-2018, after living mostly in isolation (outside routine requirements like work, etc.), things started to go downhill. I spiraled into a period of what I'm sure is depression. Since, then? I might be able to crawl out of it every now and then (around mid-late 2019-2020 I had some sort of strong resolve come over me that lasted a few months) but ultimately just return a depressed, monotonous and sedentary state. I'm generally good enough and keeping together in public, but in my private life it's on full display display. The pandemic did good work to undo everything I had tried to fight it, but the isolation isn't anything new and I'd likely have returned to it in my own eventually.
Don’t know any of those names / issues.

Your protest is equivalent of calling people carphobic for asking to reducing speed limits...
You defended that narratives.
Arguably there's less and less to discover, and revolutionary discoveries become less likely.
Sure, but that would take the messy, volatile human element out of the equation, and also throw the much faster computational horsepower at the problem. If it could be done, a centralized computational system would seem to be superior to the free market.
“ I’m not even counting the recent story about Apple’s history of willing collaboration with intelligence agencies to make a custom classified firmware for the iPod to aid in espionage.”

Thanks—I've replaced the baity title with the sentence you quoted.

I'd add a question mark (standard moderation tactic when a title is divisive) but it's maxed out at 80 chars already.
I think that's one of the big problems with public companies, especially those that have "regular people" as their main money maker (the "consumers") - invariably, the company's needs (duty) to make money for their real customers (the shareholders) will take precedence over what would be "the best thing" for consumers.

I wish we could do away with the whole "public company" thing - just imagine how much better Facebook, Google, and countless other companies (yes, Apple too) would be if they were private, and more accountable to their users.
I've noticed you have a very apple apologetic stance about this issue and are very active in replying to these articles, far more than the typical HN user. It's gotten to the point where I've noticed your username now. Why is that?

It doesn't matter what they were banned for, it's still hypocritical for a platform apparently based around "free speech" to ban people for speech they don't agree with.
Btw, HN can do polls too. See https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.
I mean...that's kind of the reason a lot of these people got banned from Twitter/etc, too, being antagonistic assholes, not for being conservative. So kind of ironic if they and the platform are saying Parler is better because "free speech".

"free speech" is just being used as a dog whistle for far right ideas in this case. These people are not behaving in good faith, don't bother engaging with them as if they were.

See: the last sentence of my post
You mean falsely yell 'fire' in a crowded theatre - an exceedingly important distinction which is core to much discussion about free speech (should offensive speech be allowed if it is stating facts etc.)
Platforms are not limiting “viewpoints” unless by viewpoints you mean something like hate speech, threats of violence, doxxing, etc.
