You've failed to make the case that the government is not a "bad actor".

I think a close reading of the OP would show they aren't portraying the state with great friendliness. Some run the show for the benefit of powerful forces and to various extents try to think about long term goals. "Bad Actors" is a decent shorthand for group trying also serving the wealthy and themselves but with a destructively short term agenda.

The key point the GP makes and I think you're missing is that stop manipulation isn't a matter of removing "tyrants" but creating an active, educated population.
Because when you slag off "capitalism", the next question is "what else?", and history shows the alternatives are worse.

I can't imagine what I would do if I had children. Homeschooling for sure.
The cynic in me thinks they're still working on it, but the first test cases they're concerned with are about removing copyrighted content. Then they'll see how to apply it to other problems.
Last update recently applied to my iphone 6 is doing it again... touchscreen lockups to the point of frustration ( can't scroll, can't type when messaging, etc... ), whereas 2 months ago it wasn't a problem... seems to me every product cycle for apple soon causes degredation of older phone's perceived GUI performance, and what a coincidence, just in time for Christmas!
Drivers?
I hear that founding a company non-solo is analogous to having children, in the sense that it is a commitment to making a space for others to act with creative freedom [0]. That's not to say there aren't people who like the challenges that brings; maybe OP is one of them. But promising a startup offers 'creative freedom' sounds more like ad copy than the things I hear (stocking the sales funnel, negotiating payment, sifting through resumes).

I recommend it to every experienced programmer considering getting a degree.
iPhones also have that feature, but they're both introduced fairly recently. Furthermore, it's not a general "max charge %" limiter, it's a system that's supposed to automagically guess when you're not going to use your phone (eg. at night), and won't charge to full during that time, but will otherwise charge to 100% (eg. in the morning).

If my mother called me a “creative genius” in a highly public forum when I was a teen, I would have given her the Mother of All Teenage Rebellions.

So where is the data that quantifies the intellectual value of each single concept taught to children, on a concept by concept basis? And where is the data that the techniques used to teach any individual concept is worth the loss of that amount of childhood?

Seems like a lot of effort for any given lesson topic, but when you multiply any waste of time by the number of children and value of their childhood, it’s not so big.

Maybe give a teacher a child time budget...the amount of off-campus time you can take from a child’s life. Exceed that...and you can “buy” more time, but your contracted time would be extended without compensation as well. A slow kid may need more time, and additional support from another resource would be made available at no budget expense to the teacher.

But do your homework, kids...
Any great alternative to material-ui? It's going to be open core and will make us pay for "advanced enterprise features" like a date range picker.
That seems to be an open question. Hawking radiation is not charged, but it also turns out that there is a maximum amount of charge a black hole of a given mass can have, and the lower the mass the lower the maximum allowed charge.

So it would seem that a charged black hole would evaporate by Hawking radiation until it reached the point where any further mass loss would put it over the charge limit. Physicists don’t think it is then simply going to stop radiating, and so what happens then is I believe still quite open.

There was an article in Quanta a few months ago on this: https://www.quantamagazine.org/black-hole-paradoxes-reveal-a...
I once worked at a company that did something like that. It was optional, but once a year you could spend 3 days working in first-line customer service. A CS rep oversaw your responses, but you got an ordinary account in the customer service system and dealt with real customers.

The first two days you spent replying to customers, and the third day you spent prototyping or writing up some way that you thought common complaints could be addressed by making changes to the product.

It was a nearly unmitigated boon to the company. Sure, the company saw it as paying for a few extra vacation days. But the program stuck around because it generated a lot of good ideas, and the direct communication between CS and product development teams was valuable.
No, he definitely does when he can't get what he wants on the app store (e.g. Fortnite).

It's not about force multipliers in general. It's about looking at what force multipliers incentivize/deincentivize and amplify/muffle.

With your examples, I would say something like:

OK I once only had a knife, but now I've invented an egg beater. This will allow me to do some things a lot more easily like:

- Bake cakes

- Eat soup

This will also mean I cut myself a lot less when I do decide to do something like eat soup.

So we're gonna have more cakes/soup in the world. Good? Great, egg beater stays. Bad? Woof, burying this thing in the yard. But wait I hate cutting myself. OK I'll figure out some other way to keep myself from gorging on cakes, or I guess be content with that.

So, broadly it's about thinking systemically--how the design of our tools affects how and what we build. Because it definitely has an effect. If it's easier to use a nailer than a screw gun, guess what, you're nailing more stuff. If it's easier to write a PRECONDITION clause in a function definition than a unit test, guess what you're writing a PRECONDITION clause.
> Nature's limits on the population of that land

Every city must import food. By that argument, all cities exceed the biological carrying capacity of its land and therefore shouldn't exist.

Many nations also have a greater population than their capacity to grow food (e.g. UK, Germany). Should we forcefully remove half their population?

Anyway, if you accept that cities can exist and can import goods, why is water somehow the exception?
>In the absence of ads, we'd have people paying money to honest app makers for the utility of the app.

I don’t think so; and the counter example is gaming. We would see free to download products with upsells catered to whales. I’m not sure if that would be a better product but I don’t think that business model is honest either
> Thus, Apple acted in good faith to maximize the battery life on these older devices. The reason is technical, so it's hard to communicate this in a way that all consumers can understand. Yes, they failed at this. Look at all the confusion.

Nothing in your longwinded explanation of battery basics says anything about why I can't go into an Apple store and pay full price for a replacement.
> They should because there is nothing stoping their company from hiring someone else in India for the Indian market rate.

They already could do that. Nothing about the situation has changed.

> It cost $100k to hire someone who was willing/able to do his work and come into the office.

Well, see, now you are adding a thing. That's the entire point of this article. The company didn't outsource the job before. Plus, with lower office space requirements and fewer commuters, companies will save money without touching salaries. If being in an office is a requirement, then sure, but the premise of the argument is that these jobs are being done just as productively without physical presence.

> People in the Bay Area (etc) were being payed wages far, far above the national rate.

Says you. Bay Area pay rates were at a premium because the best talent went there for the network effects. Now there is a diaspora happening. The talent is still worth the premium rate (otherwise the employer already would have looked to lower their basis), so why should it go down just because the IP that connects to their company VPN is in Arizona instead of California? That seems backwards to me.

I completely understand the motives of the company, but the employees should absolutely not accept that. One day good software engineers (etc.) might be that fungible, but they aren't today.
Slightly off-topic, but Brian Kernighan has a great video about the origins of grep. If you know anything similar for awk, I'd enjoy watching it!

1. externalities related to drug use are largely a consequence of their status as illegal. a lack of public awareness and any reasonable regulation create a situation where illicitly substances are orders of magnitude more dangerous than they need to be. To use china as a stand in here ignores a lot of history as well as fundamental differences in social organization that make assumptions non-portable to a western context

2. so what? do we fix their lack of information but allowing the DEA to publish (demonstrably false and misleading) propaganda under a guise of 'think of the children'? To assume that the DEA themselves aren't seceptible to bad actors is downright naive, dangerous even. All evidence points to the fact that our drug policy has failed to mitigate any of the social costs related to drugs, and in most cases, has increased social burden.

Authors and publishers can make any agreements they want to between themselves. But if their agreements depend on the subjugation of a third person or peoples, tough luck getting me to care when one party does not pay the other.

I'm coming to the realization that misinformation has to be combatted at the ear and not the mouth. I feel the world needs to go through a learning period where everyone realizes that whatever they read on the Internet is default false and they need to verify before they believe anything. In the least they need to verify credibility of sources, if not individual articles or tweets. I suppose what we're experiencing now is the pain of that learning period.

> Setting a moral example by Doing the Right Thing would be a ridiculously huge mistake

It seems like we need moral people in leadership positions around world the at the top who don't care about game theory. Game theory is a curse that needs to be eliminated. Prisoner's dilemma does no one good.

The biggest impediment to trust is non trustworthy people at top.

Geopolitics IS for nice people, we just need to make sure nice people are involved in geopolitics and make it to the top. I know people with power who have been absolutely moral despite no oversight. The could've given their children or themselves so much benefit but they did everything for collective good of everyone. People like that exist, but they also prefer hanging out with people like them. Not opportunists. Humans win collectively with cooperation.

The other option is going backwards and tribal.

The workstation they announced in the press release [0] sounds and looks incredible. I'm sure it costs over $100k, but I wish that kind of case design and cooling system could be available at a more reasonable price point. I wonder how long it will take for a computer with the performance specs of the DGX Station A100 to be available for under $3,000. Will that take 5 years? 10 years? Based on the historical trends of the last decade, those estimates strike me as pretty optimistic.

> Do people really use OSM for POI data on any meaningful scale?

I've tried but IME this is where OSM isn't great and I find myself using google maps. I hope it improves but I wonder if this is the sort of thing that goes to the core of what sort of product it is. OSM is fantastic at maps, if I want to navigate around my immediate area that's what I'll use. Google maps is a fantastic location database, if I'm trying to find something I'll use it but the maps suck.

What Real Advantage Do Self-Driving Cars Provide?
I suspect the easiest route would probably be to get USB (or full Thunderbolt) working first, then connect well-supported peripherals through a hub until the built-in stuff can be supported. If Apple's USB host controller uses standard XHCI, then the bootloader is probably a bigger challenge than getting enough drivers to start productively hacking on the system.
Absolutely nothing unethical about that. Perhaps foolish, from a business standpoint (I don't know much about robot kittens, but I have to admit it does sound intriguing), but nothing unethical.

What is unethical is saying, "you write a book on kittens, I'll print and sell the books and if anyone who buys it from me then tried to make copies, I'll have the government pay them a visit with guns". And that is exactly how our Imaginary Property system works.

These arguments run counter to practical considerations: Most programmers will inherit larger and larger codebases. So the skill and dedication for a professional steady job is reading the code well, and use that to over time learn the domain well. This may take years, or never be complete if focus is all over the place.

But what matters is also are you providing value? Increasingly value is more in inter-personal, teamwork and collaboration, rather than conjuring up magic codes nobody else can relate to.

There are simply no objective metrics. Software development is not bridge building or an engineering practice. Evidence is how everything is in flux and nothing is ever truly settled. At the same time any old code can be extremely low cost, valuable and maintainable, regardless of the code itself!

> “I don’t get it, I did all this work, and everything was great. Why does anything have to change?”

I have seen this attitude so much in relatively young companies with long tenured employees. The needs of a company of 10 are not the needs of a company of 100. If you enjoy working at a company of 10, it's fine to know that about yourself, and it's fine to leave to seek out what you like.

It's hard to watch a person slowly have their job and company taken away from them. If you aren't willing to go with the flow - if you really don't want to participate in medium/large company work, you'll have a really awful time. The company isn't going to hold itself back to make you happy.
Open EMR was the first choice for our project, but it did fit our workflow needs and the UI/UX is also quite outdated. It's FHIR api also had minimal support. So we ended up building our own EMR on top of HAPI FHIR repository, (https://hapifhir.io).
Seems unfortunate that to boot something unsigned you have to disable SIP, e.g. once we have a working linux port (I'm sure it won't be long) to enable booting it will reduce my OSX security at runtime [and not just from the boot chain].

I read this and it it fills me with so much melancholy.

I took biology 101 in college and what I thought would be really interesting turned out to be SO unexpectedly meaningless.

Now years later all I recall is the memorization of phylums and kingdoms on one test and cell structures on another test and sitting in a large auditorium looking at the map and not the territory.

The course was so much about WHAT and never about WHY.

I don't know if I was immature, or if the biology course was a "weed out" course designed to filter out all but the most dedicated, or if biology education is off the rails.

I do know that every subject would benefit from a little storytelling, a little excitement and a good helping of why.

It's not bad though, it's normal, and functioning as expected at that part of the age curve. You can avoid this by reducing performance for the entire time you owned the device so nobody noticed, I guess, but that's all.
Except it's not really an analog at all.

Microsoft didn't lose their antitrust case because of any of that - they lost because they were paying OEMs to not install software - and if they did, they were punishing them. The rebate scheme was really central to the issue.

Then, they didn't clearly say "you can't install software" or "everyone who wants to install software has to do X" they just made installing Netscape or removing IE functionally broken.

That's really different than "everyone who wants to make money through my platform has to pay me 30%".

The place Apple might actually have trouble would be Spotify - where Apple is competing with their product, allowing subscriptions in-app for their own platform, but not for Spotify unless they cough up 30% or whatever.
Yes, let's add a potentially system breaking switch to a consumer phone.

Believe it or not, the world doesn't revolve around the software geeks.
Yeah, 52% means that Android is nearly matched marketshare wise. The mobile situation is nothing like Windows’s share when Microsoft was sued for antitrust violations: the desktop market share of windows is still like 70%, 20 years ago it was like 97%.
Not sure if this is apple opening the doors for linux/windows or just a way to install enterprise boot loaders.

Bootcamp is not migrated yet but it wouldn't require disabling boot security since it's done by apple itself.

I think it's always good to question things and government actions.

"We are creating advanced weapons designed to kill en masse."

I don't necessarily agree with this. We have developed weapons to kill en masse, such as nuclear weapons etc. The vast majority of the weapons we create now are designed to limit casualties as compared to past years. Think about all the dumb, nuclear, and fire bombs dropped in WW2, Korea, and Vietnam. Now compare that with today's weapons, such as hellfires that have blades instead of warheads so you can kill a passenger in a car without killing the driving.

Do we still have the other types of weapons - sure. But overall, the trend is fewer casualties because we stop using the indiscriminate weapons.

I'm curious how you see the advanced weapons falling into the hands of evil and being used against "the people". The people are the ones who are in the military. Generally, you would have factions on either side of an issue with similar weapons.
But if they are people they can also lobby in their interests. I have 24 hours a day to do everything in my life. How many hours does Exxon have a day to lobby the government with?
