Ironically, "when no additional words can be removed" is the same number of words as "remove words that don’t add necessary context" but communicates less by leaving out the concept of context.

Changing "To be brief on the sentence-level" to "To write brief sentences" then leaving the rest would have been better.
I know a surprising number of non-tech people editing video for their youtube channel on their phone. Some of them have upgraded to an iPad (usually an older model to save money).

For coding ATM I agree it seems silly to me but apps like Codea are trying to make it possible and I suspect lots of kids have been given iPad not not general computers by their parents
Great read with pleasing aesthetics. However, there is one point I do not agree with, namely:

> That isn't to say children should understand your references and jargon. Do not over-simplify your language and weaken your ideas. Rather, children must be able to follow the logic of every argument.

Richard Feynman argues that people often hide between jargon to hide the fact that one doesn't know. As a programmer, I often see jargon as an additional dependency and only introduce it if I really cannot avoid it.
The case can be made that cities produce well rounded children, that mature faster.
Cities expose children to all sorts situations, and people, that they learn to handle.
Children in cities are also more independent able to go on the bus, bicycle to where every they want.
There are more resources for children, such as museums, pools.

It's harder to raise a child in a small city. You always have to drive them somewhere, and become a hoovering babysitter. They can't see their friends, unless driven.
They are bussed to school, and home. Meaning that they don't get extra-curricular activities.

Some studies, however, have shown that medium sized cities are best. 50K people, because a child will get special attention from a teacher/mentor. Many good athletes come from medium sized cities. But, it may be hard for some kids to find a teacher that holds their interest. For example a kid that likes astronomy.

> What do you mean by “virtual object”, an object which has been broken up on the stack instead of a “real” object living as a single entity on the heap?

Yes... but let's not say 'broken up on the stack' - the object's fields become dataflow edges. The object doesn't exist reifed on the stack - fields may exist on the stack, or in registers, or not at all.

Great point. Most people can create an old-school website with a little effort using few or basic tools, but creating something that can host a community is/was much harder. phpbb was about the limit.

It's almost an inversion - instead of many community sites, there are many users together on a smaller number of community groups, which are generally built on social platforms such as reddit and Facebook which make it easy to create them. It's not necessarily a bad thing, except that the most invested people in the communities don't have ownership of the platform or the data, so the communities that matter to them are vulnerable to any arbitrary changes in what the platform owners choose to do.
> But it definitely can be used by creatives who don't primarily input using a keyboard. (And I know writers who use iPads on the go; I've never been able to make it work for me that way.)

It can be used by them, sure. But the matter is whether they are the intended audience, and whether their needs are a target for the iPad teams at Apple.

For a comparison, I can use my typical-sized Nikon camera to record videos, but I shouldn't expect Nikon to make a headband mount for it so I can record while I'm biking. I'd buy a GoPro for that. And similarly, I won't expect GoPro to include the same levels of customization and settings as a traditional camera.
Ah, I see. What the parent poster and myself seem to be getting at is that in terms of international pricing, perhaps 1000$ of service happened here (and I'm being generous - in many places, that would be considered outrageously high). A 20% profit margin would put it at 1200$. How it got to 19K is mind boggling.
This is the quintessential example of solving a legal, cultural and regulatory problem with a technical solution.

Take the example of social media space, companies like Google/YouTube, Twitter, Facebook were wholly uninterested in policing political speech but they were forced to do so by political activists and Democrats and self-serving mainstream outlets (self-serving because when social media de-platforms, or demonetizes thousands of dinky little conservative or progressive outfits, they automatically raise traffic to conglomerate news. Similarly when Twitter banned political adverts, where do you think political adverts dollars went to?).

The crypto community is another community that suffers from this delusion. They think that they can build a technical platform to get around AML laws and regulations. Sure. My good friend worked in the San Fran ICO space and through her I met a ton of crypto people and they were all deluded like this (one of them though he could create a mesh network with drones to get around government control of the internet). Their perspectives were endearing and I appreciate their existence ... but delusional.

What do you think you're going to solve by introducing yet another platform (centralized or decentralized)? You think you're going to be left alone from those in positions of power (whether it be the mainstream media who want to reassert their traditional gatekeeping or governments and their regulatory bodies)?
No - the only implication is that the UK wouldn't use so many (costly) resources for something as minor as a few stitches on a 3 year old.

But as a parent, it is YOUR 3 year old so you want the absolute best for them. The end result, I believe, would have been exactly the same had it happened here or in the US. Just I had a lot more confidence (at the time) seeing just how much was being done to ensure there was no scarring.

So, the thing here is that FB's tool for helping advertisers
measure the effectiveness of their ads was producing falsely
positive results for an entire year, and nobody noticed.

This is a shocking indictment of multiple teams and their code quality and QA, and is going to really, really damage their advertiser relationships for many years to come.

The reason that this matters is that the only real way
to measure effectiveness of different strategies on FB is using this tool, as FB can actually match users based on their conversion probability, allowing for valid tests.

This is exactly how online political campaigning works these days.

If you can "push someone's buttons" over something that provokes an emotional reaction, an opinion gets formed that's hard to shift, rationally, in the future.

That's why billions of Facebook ads spreading 'fear and uncertainty' over things like immigration and borders etc. did so well to get so many people to vote for things that were against their interests, without them realising it. Like Brexit.

>It doesn't mean that I believe it's a solid, effective, or feasible philosophy to live by.

And yet people do live by it, as a lifestyle practice, and that's fine. What other philosophies are solid, effective, and feasible? I don't think there are any, and I'm not sure why you would get to decide this anyway.

You keep suggesting that veganism (your own selective definition of veganism) is philosophically imperfect. But that's not an argument for anything. What's your actual point?

> You get what you pay for, if you pay for developer you'll get a developer.

That's way too oversimplified. You can be as good and as thorough as you want, but if the root of the problem is that software is seen as a cost not as an integral part of the solution, you get bad results.

This often starts with unclear/vague requirements that change every other day as new information and understanding is gained.

But it doesn't stop there - unrealistic deadlines, lack of defined processes and quality control as well as disregard (and refusal to budget and schedule) for background tasks (documentation, refactoring, ...) are also contributing factors that can turn even the best and most diligent software developer into a messy code cowboy.

If gaming the system is rewarded more or actually doing a good job is even penalised, why do a good job?

One of two things happen:

2. Only one initiation is allowed, in which case the attacker denied you your setup until a support ticket, and even then, how do you prove you’re not the attacker in the support ticket?

Either case, disruption can be caused by an attacker.

Nit: git is simple AND powerful.

Simple isn't the same as easy.

git is simple in the same way Lisp is simple, or Go is simple. git was hacked together in a couple weekends precisely because it's so incredibly simple. There are a few guides where you can write a git in a weekend (e.g. https://wyag.thb.lt/).

Really understanding git is really difficult, though.

A few years after you build a git, you'll get git. I've met only a handful of developers who really grok git, deeply, but it's a journey well worth taking.

The good news is that the surface understanding of git, from having built one, is enough to safely work with the complex commands that trip up most programmers. That's worth a weekend in itself.

4th generation nuclear does not exist yet. Building a nuclear reactor just with existing tech can easily take a decade. Building a nuclear reactor that has never been built before with a completely new concept will take at least another decade to develop from a concept to a real working thing.

Even in the case that any of the concepts discussed as 4th generation nuclear will work at all (there's a whole number of previous "new nuclear" concepts that have been tried and never went anywhere), it won't matter in the time most crucial for climate mitigation.

> You are describing a strategy that normally leads to long term market loss

That's not the same thing. Your example is leaving aside an entire new market to protect an existing one. That would be shortsighted.

Here however there is no new market which Apple is missing. Pushing the iPad, a revenue leader in the high-end tablet segment, towards the Macbook Air, a revenue leader in the high-end ultraportable segment, would only make them compete. Unless you need to prevent a competitor from making inroad in one of these markets, that's just losing revenue.

As long as the iPad Pro seems to be a suffisent answer to the Surface line, Apple really has little reason to go further.

> What do you think you're going to solve by introducing yet another platform (centralized or decentralized)? You think you're going to be left alone from those in positions of power (whether it be the mainstream media or government bodies)?

The idea is to envision an internet where there is no specific target to leave alone or not leave alone.

If publishing and consuming content are low-friction events, and censoring that content is impossible, then the internet will have achieved a substantial milestone in solving the legal, cultural and regulatory problems you correctly identify as underlying causes.

Is it a complete solution? No, of course not. But it's worth the time and effort of our species, and is an important part of facilitating the emergence of ever more genuine human rights in the information age.
I think people underestimate the value of bad trips. Sure it can be hell and very unpleasant / traumatizing.

It depends. Backlash should be against provable actions of discrimination. From the article, it sounds like the issue was someone disagreeing with BLM.

Being called 'Black Lives Matter' doesn't make criticism of BLM racist any more than the DPRK being called the 'Democratic People's Republic of Korea' makes criticism of North Korea anti-democratic.
