The key point is that identities don’t have to be reconciled. There’s no reason a hunter and a vegan can’t work together on common problems, even though they don’t like or particularly respect each other’s lifestyles. On many hit button issues, unfortunately including nonbinary people, we’ve just lost this common understanding that working with someone neither constitutes an endorsement of how they live nor requires them to endorse how you live.
> UX people who are also politic enough to sell developers

This, 100%. UX doesn't respect development because devs tend not to care about UX. Development doesn't respect UX because UXers tend not to care about development.

IMHO, devs tend to assume everyone is a programmer. And many people are very much not.

Which is why even graphical OSS tends to look and work like... git.
Ya no thanks. Top down regulation will just make startups less likely to enter new disruptive tech. The solution is choice, stop using Apple products and all their shadyness stops being an issue.
If I am so undateable, or women as a class are so undateable, then I would put my effort into finding some alternative view of my life that doesn't put so much of my self-worth on finding an opposite-sex partner.

Personally, I've found that women aren't nearly so obsessive about wealth, looks, etc. as is constantly claimed in HN threads. More than anything they seem to want a good partner, somebody who understands them, and is kind, considerate, thoughtful, and interesting.

When I see posts declaring that women are, as a class, only interested in a tiny percentage of men, that suggests to me that those men aren't very good at being kind, considerate, thoughtful, and interesting. Which is too bad, because those are fairly easy things to achieve, and shouldn't be the bar to a relationship.

There are lots and lots of other things that get in the way of relationships. Those are hard things, and require a lot of picking through people to find a pair that is able to work on hard things together. That will fail right off the bat if they can't do the easy things.

>When one outlet consistently publishes pieces that align with their perspective, the information content [...] starts to diminish.

Two problems with this statement. It's unlikely to be correct, and it's built on a "the grass used to be greener" assumption.

First, unless skewed data are still data. As a rather extreme example: Soviet dissident Bukovsky recalled that he made his opinion on what life looks like behind the iron curtain from Soviet propaganda by making adjustments, and extrapolations. And when he was allowed (actually forced) to emigrate he found it was not the whole pucture, but his guesses were mostly correct. As a former Soviet citizen myself I can say one can learn to read between the lines, even when available sources don't shy away from producing 100% fakes. Certainly, people who do not filter, and re-adjust consumed information will be misinformed. But then we are coming to the next point: was it any different before? Before (we are talking about USA, I suppose), there were less controversies, because there was just one mainstream (now various outlets need not to be mutually coherent), and media was more protected from outside criticism, but it doesn't mean it was all correctness, no bias, and no corruption. Political polarization probably makes people more sensitive for an opposite side's bias (but not to one's own side), and modern communications give more possibilities to challenge it. Maybe that's why it feels like it appeared recently.
> there's no there, there

Flynn lied not to protect the contents of the conversations, but to explicitly deny a deal which was discussed. That is a "there".

Besides, Flynn is a small part of a small part of my original argument. Sure, Flynn in particular is not the best example. But he is not the only one, which is why I provided others.

> the New York Times played a key role in the spread of misinformation that ... was actually political disinformation.

Which NYT articles in particular contained misinformation that was actually political disinformation?

By "those media outlets" do you mean the NYT or does the plural imply other sources which spread disinformation? If the latter, which particular outlets are you accusing? And what is the evidence of intent which the accusation would seem to require?
> Case to the point: online signature check was a technical decision, to fight malware.

This is an oversimplification. It also helps protect Apple's business model: you must pay Apple a fee for services (and show ID) to be able to sign your apps for distribution on this platform. Imagine if you had to show ID to get a TLS certificate for your website.

Don't conflate the issue - this is also a move to protect certain streams of Apple services revenue, in addition to protecting users from malware, and it always has been.
Grand Appification of The Web proposal does not fill me with joy. It seems like a way to drag the web backwards, in to the murk & mire that is iconified by big monolithic large applications.

> The Grand Unification of Web Technologies is a proposal to unite all web technologies inside a browser creating a new, simple, more powerful and unified system. To achieve this, the functionality of HTML and CSS would be merged into JavaScript, a far superior technology, effectively obsoleting the other two.

The most user-hating proposal possible. Takes a huge case full of dynamite to the web being a place of documents, where there is well defined mark up that can be changed, & rebases the web to be hard to change, difficult, confusing javascript.

I find this proposal gross & immoral.

> We need to realize that the approach to consider every single web page as a "document" rather than an "application", does not work anymore.

> For this, a website should be considered an application rather than a document.

Web developers need to do a better job of using routers, such that the single page app does better align with documents, as the user expects. We should make things better, not dynamite documents.

Further, we ought be using semantic web technology, to make well defined sub-documents on the page. Documents within documents.
And yet every day, thousands of people reach an age where they start to follow "the news", and may read, for the first time, of the miracle of the sun's journey across the sky.

The iMac in many senses isn't a replacement for a proper desktop. You can't expand the disk storage, many iterations had no great graphics cards, this seems to be somewhat better now, but an upgrade means having to upgrade everything, including the screen. You can't even clean out the fans after some years.

Yes, I own an iMac, as this is the closest to a desktop machine Apple sells, but a replacement for what the Mac Pro used to be, it is not.

It has been widely known that these checks were happening.

Not only that, this isn’t the first server problem that impacted launch performance. It’s just the most severe.

I think what you're failing to see is that a sentence like "math; not geology" sounds incredibly condescending and snarky.

I don't know if that was your intent, but if not it might be worth reflecting on what you meant to say instead, and why you did not notice that what you wrote instead comes across so negative. Because then there would be no need for heavy sarcasm.
Then how do you know one is not the other? Also mine can be triggered by load noises. It was always a mystery to me how I could get hang overs without drinking!

There were just as many religious motivations behind slavery and segregation as there was for it - actually more, in reality. In truth, evangelical Christianity has been one of the primary tools used to advance and justify segregation and slavery throughout western history, with some going so far as to equate rejection of slavery as no different than rejecting Christ. The predominant denomination of the south, Southern Baptist, was a denomination made because the northerners refused to appoint slavers as missionaries. The KKK has been a faithful supporter of Protestant Christianity. There was notable involvement in the abolitionist movement among northern Protestants, and civil rights activism among catholics, Jews, and northern Protestants - but acting as though that is in any way representative of American religion is missing 99% of the history. The major forces in American religion have always been opponents of civil rights of nonwhites, and it’s only quite recently, with the death and sanctification of MLK that they’ve been revising this history, and lauding MLK instead of calling him a reverse racist. Religion has always broken down among ethnic lines, the majority of American religion defended slavery and segregation as God’s Will.
Yeah I’m fine with framing it like this. It’s just run of the mill geopolitical conflict. Calling Russians “the enemy” today is just shallow and lazy.

What about Hunter/Joe Biden? Was that not news worthy? Was anything about Joe Biden news worthy prior to the election? It's an embarrassment.

I hope everyone realizes the powers that took on Trump, Big Tech, Deep State, China/Russia/EU, Democrats, etc. Quite the feat that it took that much power to barely beat Trump (which is debatable until we get a handle on what happened for voting. I don't know if the election was rigged, but I wouldn't put it past them and there are some weird anomalies in the voting data).

"I think the resale value for a student macbook doesn't really matter"

It's literally the only thing that matters if you're the seller.

If you have your choice of two items to sell 5 years from now, you ideally want to be selling the item that's worth substantially more to the buyer, rather than trying to sell something worthless.

Assuming there's nothing dishonest happening, it's really up to the market to price.

Thing is, the student buying the MacBook is probably going to be substantially better off that way too, in that it will likely retain proportionally more of it's value from that point too.

India's new NGO legislation is a page straight from Beijing. Same with banning Chinese apps and pushing back on FAANG. It's a step in the right direction, hopefully an indigenous ecosystem will pop up in the coming years, but India's problem has always been execution. Still, this is a good time to push - India can and does get away with murder now to thanks new geopolitical realignments. China had to wait much longer before conditions were relatively favourable.
I've always tried to adjust the "At {Company X}, we..." statements because it distracts from the idea being presented and instead brings focus to which company was mentioned. By definition, that was a different company with different needs. The idea may still be a great one, but it needs to be evaluated in the current context.

I encourage my teams to bring in those insights, but we tend to settle on the phrase, "In a prior life, we...", as that phrasing lets us know that it has worked for other companies, but keeps the focus on the idea itself.
For folks who go in on managed services because self-hosted has the danger of an outage - how does this factor? I self-host lots of my company services and frequently catch heck from my peers for it: if your "x" goes down it costs more than the managed. (It's more than just cost tho)

Seems like folk factor managed as if it was zero-downtime game and that self-hosted is an huge burden.

Maybe these monitors aren't critical but what about when it is?
Humans become less human and lose their understanding and capacity to value the natural world without simplistic sentimentality when they are divorced from experiencing it. There’s a balance.

The world is already rewilding without segregation[1], but I’ve benefitted massively from backcountry camping and hunting, it’s turned me into an ardent conservationist, and I think we’d have a better more respectful relationship with nature if some more of us did the same.

>Consolidating farming and relying on monocultures certainly has economic benefits but it also creates an increasingly fragile system.

But everything you're describing is with monocultures, not with consolidated farming. If a particular crop breed is the most efficient I don't see why a diverse group of farmers wouldn't all go with that.
As I recall, the Taliban refused to hand over bin Laden and disavow Al Qaeda, which is why they were invaded. Al Qaeda openly bragged about attacking the Great Shaytan (Satan). I don't recall much opposition to that invasion.

The Iraq War was a definite mistake. The only argument that might stand, which is completely absurd if actually analyzed, is that of humanitarian intervention (against Saddam and his Ba'athist party). Even that humanitarian intervention angle, however, is very suspect due to the human cost of severe sanctions imposed on on Iraq after the first Gulf War, which the US maintained and pressured allies to do as well.

As we saw, once no WMDs were found, the US government switched to a different argument - the humanitarian one. And when that was shown to be BS due to thousands of civilians dying monthly at the hands of The Coalition of the Willing, they switched the argument to "bringing Democracy" to the country. It's the biggest fuck up and biggest moral stain on this country since I have been living here (mid 90s).

Ultimately, the worldwide opposition was palpable. The WMD inspectors from the UN were kicked out by the US. Scott Ritter, the head of the UN group, decried the invasion and did in fact predict the US would achieve nothing and leave "with their tail between their legs". It should have never happened.

Right, except that when you stop using the Chromebook every day or move on to something better, will it have residual value or just go to landfill?

I love Chromebooks, don't get me wrong, but the problem I've come to realise over time is that many are specced and priced just about at a point where they'll quickly move into obsolescence not long after purchase - at which point the only thing keeping them out of the ground is your willingness to tolerate them after the updates have stopped.

The Mac will still be worth a good chunk of money to someone.

> Ya no thanks. Top down regulation will just make startups less likely to enter new disruptive tech. The solution is choice, stop using Apple products and all their shadyness stops being an issue.

And since people have demonstrated that they're not appropriately incentivized to stop, that's where the regulations snap in, which brings us back to where we started: there's a need for it.

Solution could just be to regulate based on a tightly managed definition of age. Enable younger companies to have a bit more flexibility in determining their business model as controls slowly snap in as the company ages. There are some pretty clear loopholes that immediately come to mind (e.g. re-chartering the company every few years and transferring assets) that'll need to somehow be managed, but it should be enough to give companies runway to figure out how to disrupt and monetize while coming into compliance with consumer protections.
