That's funny that you say that because those who find themselves right of center generally say the same thing. The mainstream media, hollywood, and academia, have become so liberal that the center feels like extreme right to them.

Again, goes to show the polarization of the US.
I imagine that's their lead example because recommender systems are familiar, easy to understand in terms of functionality, and they get non-technical business types excited about spending money on new AI toys like the A100. There are far more interesting use cases for hardware like this, but AI researchers don't need to be told about them.
>For all the data that they collect and all the AI that they pay for, these companies get very little revenue to show for it.

Not really, they make a shit ton of money from their recommendations and perform extensive A/B testing to keep track of how much money it makes them. Anecdotes aren't data and large tech companies don't spend money for no reason (especially when they can A/B test the impact trivially). Remember that at their scales even a 0.01% increase in revenue is worth $10+ million per year so they don't need to be perfect to make a shit ton of money. There's a reason ML engineers get paid $1+ million and it's not corporate stupidity.
It’s not that they don’t go out of their way to support it. They actively try to stop it. All jailbreaking is, is gaining root privileges on the device. They could just add a little toggle button saying use at your own risk, we don’t support it.

By making it so hard to jailbreak and so hard to install apps not from the App Store, they make jailbreaking not the answer.

If you're not using "Megapixels" you should be. The camera is still quite slow (though I've been working on improving that) but it's pretty usable - at least for taking pictures.

I think standing desks are a waste of money. setting a timer to get up and stretch your legs every half an hour to hour is the best thing you do. I completely agree on buying a great chair though.
You should look from the perspective of developers who are not web developers. It's an insane fucking mess out there. SPAs (especially structured ones like angular) can give a developer a shot at creating a structurally sound interactive webpage without wanting to kill themselves.
Lie & scam - big words.

Ads/marketing budgets create employment that would otherwise not be there.

Ads provide monetization for apps you use on your phone. Without monetization you wouldn't have the proliferation of the ads, and not everyone is willing to pay directly.

It creates jobs, supports businesses, helps otherwise unsustainable content. It helps the small businesses grow their market. It supports economy.

You are also sort of missing the point. We are trying to make ads relavant for everyone, but even if it's relavant, you don't click on everything you see. This is true because of how you as a person do things. You don't buy the first car you see on the street, you do research, you spend days etc. Just think of that, and you'll see why why 1% ctr is actually not a terrible thing as you made it sound like. if you clicked on everything you see, you wouldn't be able to do _anything_.

They run stories every single day including about indie developers.

About the $100 - yeah getting some droplets is not a cost. Maintaining them. Scaling them. Writing say, a sync solution, or even data storage solution, THAT is the cost and goes well beyond $100 of course.

The problem isn't quantity, but risk. There's a reason we restrict literal poop to a few designated places - while there's only a finite amount of excrement deposited any given time, you don't want every place you visit and interaction you're a part of to carry a chance of you witnessing someone defecating.
Lol... Incompatibility with IE11 touted as a feature is really good.
No one is saying its ok to drink while pregnant, there are many things that you can normally do that you shouldn't do when you are pregnant. Fly for example, or engage in extreme sports like skiing. Similarly, you should not drink prior to driving, in the same way that you shouldn't be texting on the phone, or be sleep deprived when driving.

You can be gainfully employed and meet your social responsibilities while having a beer or two on a Friday evening, as the majority of people are able to do.

I've never heard of this myth about the alcohol evaporating during dinner, so I won't comment on that - when I drink alcohol, I do so because I intend to consume said alcohol.

As for the potential for addictiveness, there are many things in life that certain people are not able to handle well, with ruinous effects on those people's lives. Unhealthy junk food for example, or even something seemingly innocuous like the ability to invest in the stock market. I tend towards the philosophy that we should not have the government ban those things, especially when the vast majority of people are able to enjoy those things responsibly. Certainly we can provide additional resources as a society to help those people, but lets not ban it for everyone else.

The fix for this is simple. Appropriately size the battery when designing and manufacturing the device so that it is still capable of running the device a few years into it's lifetime, instead of a few months.

The after the fact fix for this is also to not refuse to fix your defective devices when customers bring them in under warranty claims, and definitely to not lie about them not being defective.

You don't make pay out the better part of a billion dollars in settlements and fines because you acted responsibly in a way that is hard to explain to consumers. You pay out a billion dollars in settlements because you broke the law.

> and if black holes really do explode at the end of evaporation, then maybe that is also observable

I suppose her reason to assume we can't observe this is that evaporation takes extremely long time. For example, a solar mass black hole will take about 10^64 years to evaporate [1] (this is approximately 7 * 10^54 times the age of the universe). Note that astronomical black holes are heavier than the Sun, so take even longer to evaporate.

I suppose the micro black holes [2] might offer a glimmer of hope, but these objects are entirely hypothetical.

There's obviously levels to it, its not "This is a fallacy/incorrect argument" and "This is a good argument".
Invocation of expert is not the end of all discussion, as there are non-truthful experts and authorities (such as Government) which are more obviously less trustworthy. That doesn't mean that you should ignore all authority (I've never seen that argued).

Naturalistic fallacy really depends on how much you value the natural state of things, but it is usually used to point out that just because it is 'natural' doesn't mean it is good or sensible to do/continue.

Appeal to emotion. Appeals to emotion are often used to incite people without them thinking through. "They killed our people!" sounds a lot more convincing/inciting than, "They had an altercation which unfortunately escalated, leading to the deaths of several people that we knew". Using emotion to obscure or not properly think about how it came to be to that point and what should be done from then on.

I think you're conflating logic (ex: mathematical logic, or far less rigorous careful reasoning) with an overly strict definition of a logical fallacy.
If they had done the exact same thing they did today but settled on 10% instead of 15% I am extremely confident that the response from HN would have been the same.

The issue is that Apple knew about the bad batteries* , denied it and discouraged battery replacement, thus leading to increased iPhone sales if users wanted a decent experience - defrauding its own customers.

That's not good faith at all. That apologists keep talking about batteries but ignore the real problem smacks of a PR campaign.

* We actually don't know if the slowdown was only for bad batteries - that's Apple's version, but it could be that they applied the throttling generally. I'm unaware of any third party who has verified this.
All I'm trying to say is that high school students should be taught "how to reach a logical conclusion" rather than "how to be persuasive in an amoral way".

> Maybe we should instead recognize that "logic" does not necessarily describe reality

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this, but it sounds a dangerous path to go down. People have already discarded facts - I think discarding logic as well would make things even worse.
We tried that on reddit a long time ago. It didn't work. We realized that a lot of people just want to see the discussion.

Yeah I definitely had that experience a few times.

Using the maps on my phone in a different country where nobody spoke my language and I didn't speak theirs with 25% battery life and having it suddenly shut down wasn't the funnest moment of my life.
Sometimes I tend to divide the world into developers and non-developers. It is just another way of saying those who gets things done and those who don’t.

People who take offense with these minor issues are very likely those who don’t get things done.

Not sure what to do about it except fight it every step of the way.

Does your midi software properly translate drum rudiments that have specific notation symbols? That would be quite impressive actually. Drumming has a lot of technique-specific and informal stylistic things that would be hard to translate.
Yes. That needs a patch to the meatware.
I don't keep track of this, but there is a lot of "canceling" going on recently. If we talk strictly about politics, I did saw a couple of left-leaning people who got fired for politics, because the angry mob went after their employment. But most of the time I see it happening to right-leaning people. And what I never saw was anyone on the left got kicked off platforms like PayPal for example. Though it's within the realm of possibility that the social media just gave me the impression that this is the case. However, considering the fact that basically every corporation and even some of the smaller companies are changing their logos in support of BLM, LGBT Pride etc., I think it's quite reasonable to assume that.

Flawed argument similar to the one used around privacy: People who don’t have anything to hide should not worry about big brother.

Well, turns out that you are telling me that companies with ungodly amounts of power and influence should be allowed to dictate our rights. This is why we desperately need regulation that puts consumers first.
With your example lower down, what you're describing is entirely possible both with tailwind[1] (depending how you provide your config), and CSS-in-JS toolkits like emotion. These are called themes and they're normally handled with writing a provider that needs to be included higher up in the chain, your CSS function then includes this parent configuration as an argument.[2][3]

You can only change so much of the styling without changing markup.

This proposal is different from what's being discussed here. Algebraic geometry is, roughly speaking, about understanding the solutions to systems of polynomial equations, while linear algebra is much simpler and gives complete descriptions of the solutions of systems of linear equations. Geometric algebra is a framework for working with vectors and related objects in an algebraic way---one can "multiply" two vectors together and extract information from this.
You missed the point. Any "bad" Godel's number can be interpreted as "good" Lisivka's number. We have ambiguity here, because a number can refer to any formula in infinite number of sets.

> We can go further. We can even construct PM-Lisp formulas in PM-Lisp!

No, we cannot.
Just because the people are generally happy with 2 options? If enough people cared about extra app stores, someone would create an alternative as there would be money to make.
But don’t you think — it’s their phone, they have spent billions of dollars developing it, shouldn’t they get the choice of how their own product should work?

It’s not like the user doesn’t know what they are buying. It’s not like Apple doesn’t have strong competitors. It’s not like the app developers are like, “Oh, 30%?! I didn’t know!”

People want the product that Apple is making. They buy it knowingly and willingly in droves.

Look at the M1, the culmination of decades of hard R&D, beating Intel at their own game.

You want to tell this company — which is absolutely killing it and creating absolutely tremendous value for consumers the world over — you want to tell them how their own device should work?!

Explain to me why the free market has not spoken, and spoken clearly in favor of the products that Apple has brought to market for their customers. Why in the world should the US Government say that what this truly amazing company should do in their own code and product roadmap.

Honestly, it’s a travesty in the making. What Apple has accomplished — coming back from the brink — is one of the greatest success stories in the history of capitalism.

Why, why in the world should the US Government — a true paragon of incompetence — dictate terms on how they should run their lawful, competitive business.

> If someone is in a bubble of disinformation

The censorship of the good information is the problem. And it probably started with censorship of bad information that lead to the bubble in the first place.

>work on preventative measures so people are never exposed

This is where the analogy breaks down, its not a virus, its an idea, anyone can come up with an idea, good or bad. you want to protect people from themselves, you must immunize them from the bad ideas they could come up with. We know it works, it was the only vehicle from the dark ages to the enlightenment.

We also have the problem that if you set up a perfect system of blocking bad ideas, the people who run it can have bad ideas of their own. Hell the mechanism we have to even tell the difference between bad ideas and good ideas in society (open free discourse) will have been destroyed.

There are plenty of examples of people trying to do this around the world, tyrants and hell-holes created with the best of intentions.
The fundamental nature of moderation on something like Facebook means that moderators have access to a lot of sensitive, personal information and images. If they let moderators take that information home they basically lose any control or ability to stop them from copying it.
You do bear the liability for the risks you create by driving your car. Paying your car insurance company premiums means they agree to pay up to a certain amount of money for you to cover damage, but that doesn't remove your liability. In addition to the fact that it's you paying the premiums, if you get a ticket, it's still you that gets points on your license; if you injure someone because you were driving recklessly, it's still you that gets sued (and if the damages awarded are more than your insurance covers, you're still on the hook for the rest); if you injure someone while driving under the influence, it's still you who gets charged with a crime.
> That's not how the Overton Window works. The Overton Window says what kind of opinions are socially acceptable

"Socially acceptable" is, necessarily, relative to some defined group.

Especially in a political system with limited major parties and partisan primary elections (especially if they are closed, but even if they are open in theory but tend to attract a specific mostly-stable community in practice), and a substantial population that participates in neither parties primaries, considering the Overton Window within each party and/or ideological identity group as well as the "national" Overton Window can be useful. The GP comment could be rephrased without, I think, change of meaning as "the Overton Window of the community of the ideological Right and/or the Republican Party has moved relative to the rest of society such that it excludes much of the window as viewed by those not ideologically tied strongly to the Left or Right faction".

Pretty much nobody prices software or digital services by looking at how much they cost to provide and adding some margin, which is how this implies Apple should be reasoning. The common model is to price on value. Taking a percentage of revenue is a pretty good proxy for that.

And Apple absolutely does increase your reach. Not in any important technical sense, but by creating a low-friction, high-trust environment, which results in a much larger market for apps than would exist if purchasing required users to type their credit card numbers into your web site and download and run an installer. This is a huge part of why native apps even emerged as a major phenomenon on mobile, against the tide of webification that's swept the desktop over the last 20 years.

Yes, I phrased that badly. Let's say looking through history to understand the context of when bugs were introduced and how to fix them
personally, I don't think there is a fix to the fact that people will be interconnected and seek stuff that fits their worldview one way or another - draconian eavesdropping and censorship will only make those circles tighter and more extreme

I think we have to embrace the fact that there are layers of informational warfare and hope for some degree of stability once hyper-connectivity has seen off a couple generations

people have to be more willing to debate ideas they find crazy and be patient because the opposite strategy is a losing one

of course governments and big tech will suppress information and even prosecute people for saying the "wrong" things, but this has a limited scope and the backlash is more of that stuff happening in closer circles/bubbles
As someone currently tutoring an 8th grader in math: The curriculum is not really much different than what I went through in the 80's and 90's. They're still learning Algebra going into High School, and lots of work with fractions, percentages, interest rates, area, volume and so forth leading up to it. The kids still loathe word problems.

The basics are just being taught differently.
