> The problem occurs in a few months when the bonus unemployment runs out. Then there will be millions more people looking for work.

Maybe this won't happen? Unemployment is officially at 6%. Better-capitalized firms have hired a ton of people over the last year. It's possible that marginal businesses like the weaker local restaurants mentioned in this thread will just have to adapt.

Besides, given that their jobs are apparently so crappy that they are losing employees to the likes of McDonalds, certainly they have high turnover. If a labor glut happens, they can just lower wages and deal with the resulting turnover, which they already know how to handle.
I would be interested in how many people quit that were involved in the DE&I council: "Nonetheless, the DE&I council attracted significant support. More than a third of the company — 20 out of roughly 58 employees — volunteered to help. They began examining Basecamp’s hiring processes, which vendors the company works with, how Basecamp employees socialize, and what speakers they might invite to one of the all-remote company’s twice-yearly in-person gatherings." - from: What really happened at Basecamp - https://www.platformer.news/p/-what-really-happened-at-basec...
> An iPhone 4 with the “last supported OS” is significantly slower than when it had the OS it launched with.

This ignores the fact that later iPhones with the newest OS are significantly faster than what they launched with, which contradicts the conclusion that this is intentional.
Author here. Your thinking is equally weird to me. I value my time for sure, but isn't there a cost in not persuing what I'm genuinely curious about? What if a successful startup had come out of it?

By the way, this took place in 2011-2012, when Google Flights didn't exist.
How recent is that meme? Politics has long been decisive in America, but it seems like only in the past 20 years has it become something people have been become forward and culturally tribal about. Does that impression hold up for non-Americans too?
Seems like too little too late.
>The difficulty with ransomware attacks and the like, is that it's less a technical problem and more a people problem.

The cause is definitely technical, it is a huge gaping hole in the design of modern operating systems that you could sail the Ever Given through sideways without incident.

Your operating system does not confer to the user the ability to delegate only X resources to the opening of a file, email, etc. They (the users) have no ability to limit side effects. Blaming them for your bad system isn't ever going to help fix things.

The missing system of limiting side effects is known as Capability Based Security. We all have a practical example of it in our wallet or purse. We can remove a unit of currency, hand it to someone else for a purchase, and that is the maximum we can lose, unless something extraordinary happens.

We all have outlets, which limit the amount of power they will supply, and some even check to make sure it isn't supplied through us, or into a system that has arcing issues. We never have to worry that turning on a lamp will take down the power grid.

Imagine if there were no circuit breakers or fuses, would blaming people for not being careful enough help make the system safer? No, of course not. Neither does blaming the user for your defective Operating System.
