> If you include SD card expansion storage it's harder to upsell people on the larger more expensive storage options because usually SD cards are cheaper than the equivalent sized storage in a phone

Another argument against SD cards is that a lot of stuff people do on their phones requires a certain baseline performance, e.g. 4K60 video recording, burst photography etc.

Other stuff like fast loading of apps from disk isn’t necessarily required, but reflects poorly on the phone if it’s slow. It could also cause issues for games which might expect to be able to stream a lot of data from disk.

Of course, it’s perfectly possible to buy SD cards which are plenty fast enough to support this stuff but:

a. SD card speed classes are a bit of a nightmare even for techy people

b. 99% of people will just buy the cheapest card they can find on eBay, which is likely to be some knock-off crap

Throw in the fact that no expandable storage forces people into a purchase-time upgrade with a hefty markup applied and it’s not hard to imagine why it’s all but disappeared.

I think it's the frameworks. If you are using something like .Net Core it really encourages you to break everything up into services that can be selected via dependency injection and you naturally seem to end up several layers.

I'm sure there are times when that's absolutely the way to go, but something simpler that solves the problem directly will often do.
It perhaps doesn't influence European culture at a larger scale (yet) but what I really appreciate about Netflix is that the shows and movies they offer are almost always available in the original language version alongside with dubs and subtitles / CC.

In Germany, where I live, you otherwise almost exclusively get German-only versions of movies (due to a mixture of licensing shenanigans and there not being a sufficiently high demand for original language versions in the German market).

In my opinion, the biggest obstacle standing in the way of closer integration between European countries today is language or rather the lack of a common language.

For that matter, Brexit could be a blessing in disguise because it might allow EU countries to embrace English as a common language - in addition to their native ones - without any of the more dominant EU members having the "advantage" of that language as its native, official one anyway.

This idea probably is a pipe dream, though. Realistically, I don't really see France, Germany, or Italy, for example, adopt English as an additional official language any time soon.
I got my first IT job through IRC. A friend whom I knew only through Internet (and who also got his first job through IRC) invited me for a job interview (I think I was the only one who they interviewed).
Does this argument imply that there is a race to the bottom for all metrics a corporation might care about?

For example, wages moving to countries with less worker protections. Couldn't the same argument advocate for lowering worker protections in the US, so that the jobs don't move to China? Which many of the jobs have done anyway, despite low corporate taxes?

> Also there should be networked spreadsheets. And since it's 40 years later, there should be products we never imagined in the 80s. They aren't there.

That's linear thinking. Computer science peaked in the 80s-90s. There arent bold new ideas to add, just incremental progress. Today it's all about polishing and making things more addictive in order to make the highest profit. Rounded corner screens for displaying slightly improved versions of newsgroups (facebook), IRC (slack/discord), BBS (google)... I can't think of a new mode of communication invented in the last decades. One could say video, but live TV existed before. Scaling up is incremental. Right here, HN is barely different than newsgroups. If change had been non-incremental , we d be dismissing HN as something that only crazy people do (the equivalent of riding a horse to work)

Becoming a mainstream brand is definitely not a big delivery on the promise that in 2 years you will tell your electric car where you want to go and it will take you there without further input from you.

As a financial delivery, sure. It turned out to be a good stock investment. So may others like AMD, Apple or GameStop. I don't argue that Musk can't make brands and money, he surely can.
> The necessity of zooming is a shortcoming of the device, not of the text format.

Zooming is a very fundamental usecases, which is linked to the need to analyse some parts of a document with more detail (i.e., look at a graph, a section of a table, etc).

Moreover, accessibility is important. There are plenty of good reasons why even Apple provides magnifying glass apps integrated into the OS and that have their own system-wide dedicated keyboard shortcuts.
Not his or her fault the tooling obseleted the specialty knowledge.
I have carefully avoided VB, VBScript, Bash, Perl, JavaScript, and Python. I used to do C/C++ but now refuse to touch either.

If it's trivial, I'll just use PowerShell. If C# isn't fast enough, I can always use Rust. If Rust or C# don't have some library I need, Java probably does. If I want something abstract, I'll get around to learning F# or just roll up my sleeves and get back into Haskell. Worst case, if I need to throw the kitchen sink at a problem I'll get back into writing substantive code in Mathematica.
I have been enjoying building apps with https://hotwire.dev (server-side rendered with JS sprinkled on top) after using React/Vue heavily in the past.

Is there a single country in the world that increased fertility rate from below replacement rate to above by giving young people anything?

In Soviet sphere of influence in Europe there was sudden drop in fertility rate after fall of communism. The fall of communism meant that we went from empty shops and lack of opportunities to full shops and plenty of opportunities. So exact opposite happened to what you predict.

Additionally, recently e.g. Polish government introduced very generous child support in a program known as 500+. There is no noticeable change in fertility rate.

IMO the biggest reason why women decide to not have children is the perceived opportunity cost. Loosing on studies, career and freedom of being young. Communist countries did not provide young women with opportunities and did not demand high competitiveness, so perceived opportunity cost of having children was a lot lower.
On the other hand, corporate taxes advantage large multi-national corporations over smaller companies because they have the resources and capability to manoeuvre around the rules and pay a lower relative tax rate.

A government should be able to achieve control through Pigovian taxation, regulations and fines. I'm not convinced that a blanket corporate tax (which does indeed facilitate targeted tax breaks) is necessary beyond the other tools that already exist.
I wanted something novel for my "website" so I used a few websocket tunnels, xterm.js and User Mode Linux to make a rather quick booting Curses Dialog menu as my main website [1].

It was a fun challenge to secure it and make sure it doesn't get overloaded, as its on a cheap 30$/yr VPS. since UML doesn't need any CPU extensions, it just about works anywhere.

You can read a little but more about how I built it under the "UML" menu [1].

Musk's biggest achievement is changing the Conventional Wisdom[1] of government policymakers in the west from "electric vehicles are a nice idea, but a toy for rich people" to "right, we're phasing out fossil fuel powered cars" in the space of a decade.

Feynman was a showman but he was also a good physicist. Not among top 10 or 20 in the 20th century as many popular polls put him, but still really good physicist.

He had great teaching ability. That justifies his fame. Just like Gilbert Strang deserves his fame.

Adding one thing: in the past, mega-companies spent money on tangible assets which were depreciated over time as they produced income. Now mega-companies spend money on intangible assets but they can expense immediately, so tax is deferred and they can grow without that tax friction. Dollars spent are the same, but expensing is accelerated, shrinking tax and unleashing growth, and the cycle continues. It’s kind of a cheat, or at least an unintended omission from old laws designed before intangible assets became the biggest assets on the planet.

So visit a different part of it. As someone whose parents grew up without electricity in their home that's nonsense and tone deaf. We don't need an "America bad" melodrama on every thread, especially one about European culture. Turn off the news and talk to real people. You have no idea how positively we brown 1st and 2nd gen immigrants view America, and the pages I could write on how far ahead of the "developing" latin and South/Southeast Asian world it still is. And yes Ive been to 20+ countries I'm not missing "perspective". Europeans have certain benefits explicitly defined by law and we don't because the US is rooted in a libertarian understanding of what a "right" is but we get them anyway and to keep it brief I will say that the recent hyper-focus on the US' flaws and fixation on what other countries "promise" their citizens make people myopic to how it actually plays out in the real world. I've met many entrepreneurial Spanish, Dutch, Norwegian, French, and Australian friends abroad on the nomad circuits who start their own cafes and training centers and studios in other countries and tell me about what they lack back home and went in search of outside of the EU. I'm much more appreciative of the opportunities the US still offers after having traveled.
I have been building react frontend and golang backend (go-gin to be specific) recently. However, post compilation of react app, I use go-bindata to convert it into a golang embeddable asset and service it via specific route in go-gin, For instance (/#/ or /) is there frontend is located and (/api) is there the api endpoints are located. In this way, you can actually distribute the app with just one binary. Downside is that it is a complicated workflow and takes quite sometime to compile.

Italy has similar homicide rates: 5 per million.

But also a population 12 times larger than Norway (60 million people).

Los Angeles and Norway have a comparable population, in Los Angeles in 2020 there have been 300 homicides, a 20% increase over 2019, despite covid. It's more than the whole Italy that stopped at 271, 14% less than 2019 that ended with 315 homicides.

Los Angeles has the same size of Rome, in Rome there have been "only" 15 homicides in 2020, 20 times less than LA.

US is the outlier in the West, all the other developed countries have comparable homicide rates.

Japan has the lowest rates globally, in 2017 they had 56 times less homicides per capita than in USA.
Yeah now even microsoft has renamed "programs" to "apps" in windows. On the one hand it s bad because they are all programs made by programmers who know programming, and it's all that people need to know. OTOH , it's kinda good that the status of mobile apps is equated with ordinary desktop apps, because it makes users realize that their walled garden is needlessly walled.

I would say its not a very popular comment because its deliberately contrarian and not the full story. Yes, Feynman was a showman (amongst many other things) but he was also a truly gifted physicist. You can be both those things at the same time. And he was.

Suppose such very early organisms had lived at quantum scale, or across the quantum / classical divide. At around the scale of a virus.

And suppose their replication had entailed production of entangled particles.

Without need for fast travel those particles would now exist everywhere in the universe. Having been carried here by expansion / inflation.

Many of those remnant particles / organisms would still be entangled, having never encountered another particle to cause their collapse.

This allows real-time (unconstrained by FTL) communication with arbitrary places in the universe.

We would communicate with this system using Earth-originated organisms at similar scale, collapsing those early entangled particles and watching the effect on our viruses' e.g. their spin.
This breach would be marked as ”sensitive“, so you wouldn't be able to look that up without confirmation of ownership.

While there are obviously major problems, if you rank countries by the social mobility indexes, or by GINI (income inequality) indexes, the top ten or so are all high-tax European countries.

Mind you, there's more to it than that; just setting the high-income-band taxes high won't do it. Efficacy of taxation and control of corruption is also important. Ireland's an interesting case; in the 80s its income tax was quite high (and it was a substantial net beneficiary of EU funding) but its GINI index was the worst in the EU (it was actually worse than the US for part of the decade). Today, income tax is still quite high (though not as high), and it's a donor of EU funding, but the GINI index is middle of the road European, far better than it used to be. The main thing that changed, beyond overall economic development, is reduction of corruption; there's no point in having big high-income-band taxes if no-one pays them.

If you make £60k before tax, your effective rate is still about 40% (if you add employer's NI which does not appear on payslips). Then you also have to add local taxes like council tax etc. It's not looking good.

I am not sure about the "crucial" part, regarding having growing billions upon billions of people. Obviously you need some people to have economy, but what they do is more driven by incentives than essentialist features like being older. What I'd argue is that there will be a need for different business models, with profitability arising mainly from things different than offshoring and relying on dampening wages. If there will be money in that (not as easy as today's business models, but still), it will happen.

To make this happen we will also need, obviously, technology advances and organizational innovation. But to get more people for doing that, I would rely more on taking knowledge people out from industries becoming less profitable (a normal economic thing; many people would agree that currently smart people are attracted economically to many questionable enterprises) and lifting the developing world (as its population growth is slowing) than, as I said, growing raw population count.

I'm assuming you don't mean that we absolutely need a pool of people willing to work for any wage due to fear of extreme poverty. I have a sneaking suspicion that this point might hide under the "we need more people for more ideas" argument in the article. But the reality shows that we don't need such a poverty pool for agriculture for a long time now (looking at the Western agricultural productivity) and we probably don't really need it for industrial production either. This is due to technological advances letting us produce more with less people.
