I need an iPhone because of iMessage. All my friends use normal messaging, and without iMessage texting is impossibly slow. I've tried to get them to switch to WhatsApp but they refuse. It's a big enough deal that I'm willing to look past all of iOS's bullshit. But I'm not happy about it.
My Bay Area commute is 4+ hours daily, depending on traffic. I don't make nearly enough to be able to afford a $2M "starter home" on the Peninsula, and do not want to be packed into a tiny apartment in the faceless UglyCube#51 apartment complex. COVID-19 and remote work has been a huge quality of life improvement for me.
Roku pulls YouTube TV from its store as Google feud deepens
Functional pricing i.e. pricing according to what it is worth to the buyer is an indicator for a monopoly. This was one of the arguments that were used to go after IBM way back so there long standing precedence.

> "why were BlackBerry and Nokia successful despite not having third party apps at the scale iPhone does?"

They were in the process of dying around the same time as Windows Phone was and all for the same reason: the iOS/Android duopoly.
That's 20 bucks per european citizen.

With that money we could just build our own fab, we don't need intel for that. Are the european citizens supposed to pay for intel's fab? Do we get the chips for free then?

What the heck is up with these companies? Capitalism means they have to spend their own capital, not the publics.
I'm talking about your claim that the cost of raised wages would be inevitably passed on to consumers.

I'm sure there's a good reason why employers lobby so hard to keep wages down even when it doesn't affect them in the slightest cos they can just pass the costs on...
> Do you have a source to cite for "the approach that the vast majority of purchasers prefer"?

I mean, gestures at every consumer-targeted product made since at least the early 'oughts.

People want things that are some combination of more capable, more convenient, more reliable, and less expensive. Different consumers obviously make different decisions, but there's a reason you can't go to a car lot and easily find a car with a stick shift. There's a reason you probably don't know anyone who has a Speed Queen top loader (pre-redesign model of course ;)) in their house, even though it is infinitely more reliable and repairable than the competition.
Those offerings are less capable, less convenient, and more expensive than the alternatives, so customers don't want them.
The reason is quite clear - the Fed cannot transfer money effectively to the poor/middle class; it's fiscal policy that can do that (and labor unions to some degree, which were gutted in the 80s).

Inflation doesn't happen when you give more to the people that don't consume (and sustained inflation only happens when there is an actual shortage of some good, and arguably we have overcapacity for everything today so inflation will only happen under either a commodity price shock or complete breakdown of supply lines (transitory inflation can happen like it is now - from the COVID shock))
A recent Windows build used GTK3 decorations; I was very surprised to see that appear. You are right that it is quite low on functionality, its menu allows powering off and rebooting the VM, and gives access to the serial console as well as a command-line interface for the emulator.
Can we use Ubuntu Linux as a daily driver instead of Windows or macOS?
No not really. The literal field hospitals were not done before the spike subsided, and the ship saw only a few patients. The ship was specifically NOT for covid patients, and so few patients that were not COVID were coming in. And yes there was a lot of red tape to get someone there.
In total comp - yeah. It's insane. That's what the OP twitter post is talking about. If we see a stock market crash, a lot of that will evaporate, but there is a really large cash component and RSUs are buoying everything to really high levels right now.

Just a new grad thread from Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/m635u7/o...

Anecdotally, my friend who just closed on their 3rd house runs engineering recruiting for a large public Bay Area company (and used to run their new grad hiring) so they've told me specifically what that company pays for grads of their target schools which they've obviously honed based on competing offers from other tech companies.
If the app was there before, and they are saying the terms didn't change, they how could Roku want "lower requirements"? I don't think they can downgrade the hardware in existing devices that are shipped.

Maybe I'm misunderstand this, but this smells fishy.
> Overall, Apple has not been a good steward of the App Store.

I'd go one step further and suggest that neither Apple nor Google are good stewards of the mobile app distribution market, either.
In most states in the U.S. all employees can be terminated at will. It is generally called "right to work" (yes... it is a questionable name). So essentially that first category does not exist in the U.S. (outside of a union where it gets tricky). So the Labor Secretary's decision amounts to the same decision.

And self-employed here generally are not taxed less, rather about the same (details vary), but have to do the taxation themselves.

I should note that you still can be fired illegally, for example surrounding harassment or protected status (gender, race, etc...).
They seemed to be doing alright in 2019 when we were at full employment (more or less), at least relative to their normal state of hemorrhaging money.

But to give them their due, I do in fact think Uber made the product of paying someone to drive you from point A to B much better. Even in the early days of Uber (when they were still just Towncars), it was very rare to get in a taxi in Washington DC that accepted cards for payment. It was also much harder to get a ride if you weren't downtown. You would have to call a dispatcher and in about 30 minutes (if you were lucky and they didn't just ghost you entirely) a cab would show up. Also, if you were downtown and wanted a ride out to Arlington, they would sometimes just drive off because they knew they wouldn't be able to get a fare back into the city.
interesting point i hadn't really considered, i guess the app store interface doesn't really lend itself to selling upgraded versions of your software, since you'd essentially be starting over in terms of ranking/ratings/etc every time you do that
Just to clarify - I'm up in Canada now and we're free to choose our Doctors - there's a bit of an undersupply so there is some restriction in switching doctors once you've got one, but you're free to continue seeing the same doctor through job and other life changes.

The choice being discussed here is specifically around health plan particulars like stronger vs. weaker drug covers - surprising you by not covering any oncological drugs - or having a different balance between deductible and cost.

I'm still trying to grip why people care about choice though since most of those become non-issues with national insurance - most of those choices are about how you're going to balance paying for care with limited resources, while in nationalized systems the question of cost is mostly or fully removed - it's just the auxiliary costs that still can bite you (i.e. parking costs at a hospital, costs for a private room for recovery, etc...)
one thing where proofs are invaluable is the security of distributed systems where you need to exhaustively consider many uncoordinated actors.
I'm assuming it doesn't work well with nested bundle signing. As per my other thread it also seems to be picky about which subdirectories it signs, and there are lots of weird paths (LaunchDaemons, XPCServices, LoginItems, etc) you can put stuff in that needs signed. Not to mention if you put anything needing a sig in Resources.
My story is that I was like that for exactly 20 years then I switched to a laptop, it took me a while to get used to it's keyboard, but fast forward another 8 years I decided to build a PC instead of laptop and bought an office keyboard in a supermarket for it, and threw it away few weeks later, I simply wasn't able to work, then I bought and threw away three more. Probably that Acer R1 spoiled me.
It went into real estate the last time around so why not again?
What “rent seeking large landlord” is paying person taxes from selling expensive properties?

Litestream author here. Litestream monitors and replicates based off the WAL and there are some tricks it has to do to make that work. However, it doesn't currently decode those WAL pages and determine the changed data.

Have these guys filed for any patents?

It’s my belief that if you want to make the cut in the InfoSec business, you gotta bring some core offering of your own to the table.

For ex - some groundbreaking algorithm that will help them detect early stages of an attack.
HN doesn't like a realist, apparently. Also, another funny point to this discussion, my opinion on this subject comes directly from a number of Marine Corps pilots and senior decision makers, who I spent a decade working with. I was pretty excited about the F-35 program at first, but after hearing from those who actually had to fly them, and those that were involved in assessing their combat capabilities... Well, let's say that people whose lives depend on the F-35 do not trust them.
thank god it lasts only a few years, then it's disguised as 'real estate tax' (for public schools)
Your flat fee model would really suck for free apps.
I'd rather repair it myself, or be able to take it to someone local with particular expertise. What's important is that we have a choice!
This is a guess based on anecdotes on recent volatile periods, the general scenario could be this:

1. Market falls sharply.

2. General public panic and sell, while market timers double down.

3. Market falls further, market timers panic and sell.

4. Markets rebound sharply, with the above-mentioned people missing those good days.

The key assumption is that at least some really good days usually follow really bad days.
I miss my Roku Soundbridge. It made streaming music in a time when that was hard. I'd listen to SomaFM coming through my stereo for hours a day.
The purpose of an economy is to allocate resources and ensure maximum employment doing useful things.

If UBI helps people do useful things like caregiving or job training, then it has achieved something.

If UBI just causes less (useful) work to get done, then it is a net harm to society.

Maybe it's good if it shifts investment towards automation that eventually improves productivity. For example, if paying Uber drivers becomes less attractive, maybe researching self-driving or investing in mass transit becomes more attractive; maybe that's good.

But things still need to get done, and money by itself doesn't do anything. In the extreme case you end up like Kuwait, where citizens get (in that case oil) UBI, and guest workers outside the UBI system do all the actual work.

The US could do that, and it might reduce inequality among US citizens, but new outgroups would become painfully apparent.

Relic from boom after WW2, many houses needed to be build fast.
can't wait to see Jake Paul v. ItsLilBrandon
It could depend on you time line. If you're thinking 20 - 30 years, then it may not be a bad idea. Get some US company to build a plant and run a plant, then hope that at some point some of the employees will want to start their own companies, using the knowledge they've gained working at Intel.

Seems like a long shot though
The other issue is that none of the SoCs on the market with open source drivers available are remotely competitive in performance with today's Qualcomm/Exynos/Kirin.

The Pinephone and Librem 5 are both using chips that are competitive with low end Snapdragons from 5 years ago.

I think the RK3399 paired with an external modem is about as good as you can do today without needing blobs, and while it performs a whole lot better than the current Pinephone/Librem 5 it is still quite far behind today's SoCs.

In most cases the open source drivers for these mobile SoCs are reverse engineered rather than released by the vendor, which is why they typically only exist for chips that are at least a few years old.
Comparing equality of color seems like a trap. If they aren't from the same color space, it's more like comparing a float, which will need some precision specified.
No one is limiting people from certain bit arrangements. If you, entirely on your own, construct the exact bit arrangement that represents this video stream, you're perfectly within your rights to watch it.

What copyright law prevents is for you to copy the stream of bits from the original source.
With the caveat, historical returns do not predicate future returns. If you invested in the S&P 500 from 97-99 and didn't sell before the large sell off of 2000 you would have to wait until 2010 before you saw positive inflation adjusted returns.
I just applied for private life insurance. I do think it's possible what this industry does as a matter of standard practice probably is discrimination, but they legitimize it through technocratic means. They'll say something like there's an average risk profile that rises over time with age. The way they further meat this out is by intrusively inspecting open medical history and repeating pedantic questions to you about that medical history. If you pass the pedantic questions, you get a lower rate based on demonstrated medical history.

So, I think my perception would be a little bit of both.
I thought Lisp stands for "Lots of Irritating Single Parentheses" ;)

I'm a Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard diehard, despite having generally terrible experiences with longevity. I went through quite a few Natural 4000 before switching to the chiclet style Sculpt Ergonomic. I wore out the L on one and the F5 on another. Like, they would work, but you had to press hard and intentionally, so they were basically dead.

I very briefly tried a Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum, and realized it was loud as hell, and it was huge. Returned it.

Just today I unboxed a Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard. I'm hoping for a Natural 4000 experience. So far, it's a learning curve going back from the chiclet experience, but the wrist rest is great, noise is very reasonable, and I'm learning well enough to type on it. Who knows, fatigue-wise, how I'll feel in a week. But it was just $40 from Amazon, so it isn't too much of a gamble.
None of this passes the smell test to me but this in particular

> ...To be clear, we have never, as they have alleged, made any requests to access user data or interfere with search results. This claim is baseless and false.

If Google is telling the truth here I feel like this is worth launching a lawsuit against Roku.

Not really - 10% change in 5 years is expected.

>With that money we could just build our own fab

Not that I support government subsidies but $10 billion would not build you a 5nm fab. Heck, it wouldn't even get you a 14nm, with the rate the Chinese are sucking up all the used fab equipment.

I mean that feels pretty simplistic. Like most things, it depends.

There are many things that I could know or believe that affect the calculus. For example I might get promoted next year and make more money or whatever.

Ultramarine wasn't just more expensive than gold, it was also ordered by area.

A painter's commission would say "...And such an such an area of ultramarine", the better to show off the buyer's wealth and status.
Sounds like this is exactly what happened to me with the Spectrum TV roku app. They didn't delete the app from my Roku, but said that I can't install it again from the Roku Store. So now that means I can never upgrade my 2 year old roku streaming stick. This basically means that Roku is useless to me.
Acquiring physical media & piracy are turning into my defaults again. I don't have the patience to manage 10 different subscriptions and still not have access to content that has been otherwise available for consumption for decades.

Everybody is currently throwing money at chip makers as the world finally realizes how dependent it became on chip production in Asia. Intel is just smart and wants to get subsidies in the US and in the EU.

There already are several chip making fabs in the EU, btw.
Agree with the first part somewhat if there's a legal issue with collecting personal data. But for the second part, we're operating under the assumption that "it seems wrong to limit people from certain bit arrangements without paying." This necessarily implies that your personal data doesn't actually have any worth. As such, the collection of it doesn't need to be paid for.

I think there has to be some distinctions for what qualifies as data with monetary worth. I don't know where exactly that line should be drawn, but I think (as you've made clear with the personal data example) that at some point data goes from an arbitrary arrangement of bits to something of value.
> has resulted in apps as simple as text editors or todo apps needlessly becoming subscription services

On the PC I have a mail app that turned into a subscription service and there are downsides. I have a lifetime license and get all the updates because I bought it before it went subscription based.

Now it feels like there’s a relentless push for more features every month to justify the subscription. Every month there’s some stupid update that does something I don’t need or want.

And the subscription costs 3x what I pay for my mailbox at Zoho. Sorry, but your stupid email client isn’t worth more than what my email provider charges me.

I won’t say the name because I think they’re a smaller company and they made good on all the lifetime licenses they sold afaik.

I wouldn't say those risks are overlooked by most holders, rather that risk profile is exactly the reason why anyone would want to use cryptocurrency to begin with.

Perhaps some hype artists would claim otherwise, but they shouldn't be defining how you view the technology itself.

I couldn't find any solid proposal for social security tax, like not splitting between employer and employee or applying to long term capital gain. If it is implemented like you said, yes, it will push the highest marginal tax rate to above 60%.

If a person makes $1.2m paycheck over 6 year evenly, they have $200k paycheck per year. They are subject to about 23% of federal income tax, and about 7% of social security and medicare taxes, so the average tax rate is about 30%.
Cryptocurrencies are currencies whose value lies in their technology and adoption. Neither the tech nor its users are 'nothing', they are in fact quite tangible.
Thank you, this was helpful - I didn't realize (but now that I read it it makes sense) that drivers could still be employees with part time (few hours a week) work. I wonder how much of those costs are fixed vs variable (based on how much a driver works) - one advantage of Uber is that they can surge capacity by having workers that only work a few hours a week.
perhaps because NFT's offer no meaningful version of ownership -- you don't control it according to the government (no copyright/ip transfer), you don't control it according to the physical universe (you don't actually have anything -- not even bits), you don't control it according to the internet (others have just as much access and distribution as they did before), you don't control it according to blockchains in general (you can trivially establish a second NFT chain and claim ownership there).

The thing that's being traded is a certificate of ownership that is enforced and considered by almost no one. It's equivalent to trading on emails that say "I own the Eiffel Tower".

The fundamental question is why the hell does anyone want an NFT in the first place? "it's art" doesn't cut it, and "it's like baseball cards" doesn't really cut it either, because you aren't buying the card in a way that you can claim ownership over -- you're buying a certificate that contains a link to the card, and trading on that. Entirely independent of the object under question.

In fact, you don't need the digital asset in the first place. You might as well trade tokens directly, and let go of the farce. But I suppose you just have a normal coin then.
That's the status quo, where the government doesn't intervene in issues of repair.
