It should be possible to install any operating system that is capable of running on given platform and manufacturer should not necessarily be required to contribute to those 3rd party operating systems, but they should provide all necessary documentation for 3rd party developers to adapt their operating systems to work on the device.

>You know where modifying guns with 3D printed parts is common? The USA, since you can turn many of the commercially available ones into automatic weapons.

People have done it, but it is not common at all.

Moreover, for the time being, 3D printed gun parts have an extremely short lifespan.
> the internet has only lowered the barriers to entry for authors.

It has lowered the barrier to get published, but not the barrier to reach a significant audience.

> Just because a large portion of people choose to not patronize non Amazon website does not mean there is a problem of Amazon curating its inventory.

Yes, it does. Now a single company acting as a hidden censor gets to decide which books and ideas can reach a significant audience, and which get effectively ignored. That's the great advancement in censorship - things aren't censored totally, just silently suppressed into irrelevance. Just because "no one owes anyone an audience" doesn't make this less of a problem.

Perhaps if you were on the other side of the issue, you'd see the problem with Costco as well. You have a product to sell, but instead of hundreds of retailers to negotiate with to get your item on store shelves, and needing only a handful for your company to survive (and hence allowing your product to exist), there are 3-5. If they all say no, effectively no-one will get to use your product.

You may still think it's fine, since they (as far as we know) probably filter mostly on price and quality. But what if they filtered on ideological grounds? What if none of them allowed you to sell contraceptives, or immodest clothing, or DRM-free electronics?

Is it still not a problem, or is it merely less of a problem than the "men with guns force you to put an item on your shelves" solution you're implicitly comparing it with?
The reason the OODA loop was useful, though, is because it took a decision-making process that was normally used by individuals and brought it into organizations. It seeks to answer the question: how do we minimize the overhead cost of making decisions in large organizations without compromising on effectiveness? Given that it originated in the military, the lack of a "wait for orders" step is what's notable.

We've massively increased the role of the Federal government vs. what was outlined in the constitution. The most significant reason for this by far is war, particularly WWII and the Cold War.

Other wars before these played a role but I feel like WWII was the turning point after which the US was a different place. We entered more or less a permanent state of war or war-readiness since then, and the Cold War provided a rationale to massively increase the size of our espionage apparatus. Originally the idea was that this spy apparatus would only be aimed outward, but that was always a fantasy. Anything we aim outward will eventually be aimed inward.
> Audience here just skews heavily towards personal freedom of movement

...and said audience coincidentally happens to mostly live in places that actually have that freedom of movement. On the other hand, I, my passport that can take me basically nowhere, and the awfulness of visa acquisition know very well that "freedom of movement" is already a joke. And I remain extremely sceptical of the opinions of people from countries that are not impacted by brain and capital drain (and which, in fact, benefit from it) on situations like this.
So nothing has value besides your feelings, then.

I think this is sort of right, sort of wrong. It's not so much as liquidity in so much as preventing deflation. Though yes we are in a liquidity trap at the moment.

The central banks especially several in Europe lost control of their monetary base. They have gone to negative interest rates + legally requiring pensions funds and similar to purchase these bonds. In other words the governments are robbing the retirees.

The government's goal right now is to prevent the recession from becoming a depression. In fact everything has aligned to make this recession turn into a depression. The only reason it doesnt appear to be a depression is because of expansionary monetary policy.

For anyone interested in OODA, the Robert Coram biography of John Boyd, and "Certain to Win" by the Boyd disciple Chet Richards are good entry points.

The value of OODA isn't really in providing a model for individual-level decisionmaking. The value is as a model for intra-organizational conflict: that one obtains strategic advantage (i.e. tempo) by running through one's OODA loop faster than competitors or opponents. You can draw a very straight line from OODA to the Lean Startup.

The loop is not (usually) executed sequentially, in nature or in human tactical training.

Boyd’s thinking was useful in the military bureaucracy to make the right types of aircraft that would support high maneuverability and rapid decision making. Training to excel in use of new aircraft only came naturally to the pilots to a certain point, and this is still true today.

However, it’s true that OODA skills like rapid re-orientation are often best taught to humans by putting the right kind of pressure on them so that their instincts will be honed in a useful way, although mastery requires thinking about and tuning those instincts as well.

They might be a minority. They might be a minority you're not in. So (I'm guessing) is the minority that buy genuine Louis Vuitton handbags. The question isn't the size of the market in total audience numbers, or the proportion of some arbitrary population they represent, it's the readiness with which they can be parted with a sizeable chunk of cash in aggregate.

Proving that the total addressable wallet is sufficient to sustain a YC company is a) non-trivial, and b) their problem. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that there can be remarkably large markets in remarkably unexpected places, so while yes, this one looks like a totally conventional small-software-shop play, and the 75th percentile outcome across all YC companies is crater-shaped, I'm not going to second-guess whether they might have something.

Looking at the European data for energy subsidy (https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/en34-ener...), the energy sector that get most money is fossil fuels and by a large margin. Renewables comes in second.

Nuclear do get most money for research and development compared to other energy sources, but I have a hard time see how that translate to energy prices. R&D usually goes to universities.

If we use France specifically, according to the report here (https://ec.europa.eu/energy/sites/ener/files/progress_on_ene...):

"In France, Belgium, Poland, Greece, Ireland and Finland, the highest shares were spent on fossil fuels (although in absolute terms, the fossil fuel subsidies in France were slightly lower than in Germany).

Both Germany and France is at the same time dwarfed by the amount of subsidies given to fossil fuel in the US. Nuclear subsidized is a tiny dot on map compared to the billions being spent on coal, oil and gas.

Spending habits become exponentially more important the less money you make. If you make $125k as a software developer in a MCOL area you can basically spend whatever you want and if you're not downright reckless you're going to be fine.

If you're a couple whose combined income is $50k, spending is important and you simply can't afford to have your partner blow $80 on something because that could cause you to miss a bill, incur late/NSF fees, etc. My parents are elderly now and there's certainly a generational aspect as well but they made very little when I was growing up and they both knew every dollar that left the checking account. I make good money in tech and my SO is a physician so we just need to decide what portion of our income is allocated to joint expenses and the rest will work itself out. There's ways to optimize it of course but an NSF fee from the bank or a $30 late fee from Comcast is not really a concern for us the way they were both very real concerns for my parents.

Milton doesn't necessarily have more capacity or willpower to offer tax breaks than Toronto, and the incentives for companies are stacked.

Perhaps decades ago I'd be content with commuting out to the middle of nowhere by car to work for a large company as a lifelong employee. Perhaps those circumstances still exist, but there is a comparatively large number of people living downtown that won't touch transit-poor suburb offices with a 10-pole stick. If you're setting up shop in the suburbs, you will get a pick of only suburb residents.

On the other hand, if you're setting up shop in downtown, you get a pick of both downtown and suburb dwellers. The latter will drive anyway, so it matters comparatively little whether you drive from Mississauga to Milton or from Mississauga to Toronto. Plus a lot of people can find a GO station somewhere and get downtown that way. Good luck commuting to a Milton campus by train from Markham.

Furthermore, with Toronto in the centre of the population bell curve, it's not even just downtown employees vs. suburb employees. It's also that by building on one edge of the municipal area, you will have a harder time to attract people from the other edge. Mississauga to Milton isn't too bad, Ajax to Milton is twice the distance vs. to downtown Toronto.

So in the end, it all goes back to making a choice between locations with relatively broad appeal and a lot of competition, or niche locations that work great for a considerably lower potential selection of employees. Large international companies are finding that they are competitive enough to win employees in the downtown job market while still benefiting from the broad base of talent available there. You'd have to give them unprofitably high tax breaks to make them give up their talent pool.

Smaller shops may try out the niche strategy in the suburbs and may find it to work well for their purposes. But I guess those were not the target of your call for suburban HQs. They're also not at a size at which Milton would consider giving out tax breaks.

There can always be exceptions, although as a general tendency the house is stacked against suburb HQs. Maybe with a drawn-out WFH trend this could change, but for now I still don't see it happening.

I’m not sure how accurate that is. For example, I strongly dislike new Reddit, but I feel forced to go there as the niche communities are still far more populated than their respective forums scattered across the internet.

I’m not sure HN has quite the same holding force, but I’ve yet to see anything that feeds my curiosity in the same way.
