It is one of the major points from Guns, Germs and Steel. Most of our major diseases have transferred from domestic animals. For example both measles and smallpox (the two most deadly diseases for Native Americans) come from cows.

Europeans successfully domesticated animals, Native Americans did not. So Europeans had diseases that Native Americans were not adapted to.
Where did this come from and what value does it have, other than being condescending to non-native English speakers?

I don't think he was being condescending, so there's no need to be offended on behalf of other people.

I think he was suggesting that part of the linguistic confusion comes from how the tech industry has become so global that different words and phrases are exchanged between cultures, but within the tech sphere.

For example, it's not uncommon to hear the phrase "Do the needful" in places like Seattle, even though the phrase originated elsewhere and was imported by tech workers.

So you have to pay your Spotify subscription by cash or checks. How many people will still subscribe to Spotify? I haven‘t ever seen a check in my live besides in TV.

In some sense you are „forced“ to use them. And in some sense it is ok, as long as one party does not has to much power.
This hasn't really been true in my experience. It's one component, definitely, but in general people are also looking to get a sense of how you handle yourself and communicate when you're stuck on something. Most people will agree that the point of interviews isn't to get the right answer, but to show that you can reason about problems and communicate well.
I buy ‘unrepairable’ iPhones.

I actually have repaired iPhones myself in the past, including screens and batteries.

That turned out to be a waste of time because the replacement parts failed in a much shorter time than the originals

The reason I continue to buy iPhones is that more recent models don’t typically need to be repaired. I would much rather have a phone that doesn’t fail easily than one that can be easily repaired.
I don't understand where "mystified" in the title is coming from. This is a great work of art but what is mysterious about it?
>Apple don't let us do any of that ourselves

Every stupid app would have its own store if they did. As an iOS user, that would be detrimental to my user experience.

We're seeing a similar phenomenon in the streaming space now, and it's horribly obnoxious. Hardware lock-in is the only thing keeping app distribution on iOS sane.

Before the "but android" rebuttal, consider the more comparable (IMO) situation of wallet apps on android.
We've encountered this from our early users and are definitely looking for ways to incorporate transparency of cost. AWS is particularly opaque when it comes to pricing, and I'd love to hear any ideas you have in things that would help you
better understand costs. What comes to mind is integrating with something like InfraCost (YC W21)...

That said, for small projects we are adding support for cheaper independent cloud providers very soon. We've talked to folks at both Vultr and Linode, which provide significantly cheaper k8s offerings, and are working with them right now!
That was my requirement too and I ended up pretty happy with a low profile, quiet corsair. It's not perfectly quiet but it's definitely not loud.

Different people type differently, which is one reason why it's hard for the community to give good feedback about what sort of keyboard or keyswitches you should buy.

Let me guess at the conclusion: Brains that are better at finding patterns that increase survival success are the actual driving force for brain sizes and therefore we should not say that big brain animals are also intelligent animals.

Surprisingly, that was pretty much it.
I do something similar to OP [0] - and currently forward to another provider (single address, but that's only the 'envelope' To; so it doesn't matter, I preserve the original whatever.to.address).

That's mostly an artefact of transitioning from that provider to my own on AWS, but I stopped working on it for some time and never continued. My plan was/still is to write a client that can read 'Just a Bunch of .Eml' format, and then I can point that at S3 (or via S3FS or whatever). Everything that exists for mailbox, maildir, and what-have-you assumes you need it to act as an MTA (I think that's right) and do the actual receiving too; and is difficult/impossible to stop that and say 'no, here's a directory full of email, just be a reader'.

Longer-term plan/idle thought is to have a JMAP server on Lambda. (IMAP isn't possible, because it has to look like/be HTTP to reach the Lambda.)

None of these "gig" jobs are actual jobs
Updates that kill devices are at best a defect that is the manufacturer's responsibility to fix or pay for. At worst computer sabotage, which is a crime.

Unfortunately courts have yet to get "bitey" on this issue. I guess it needs to hit a few more judges until the hammer comes down hard.
Where does your estimate come from?
The people with jobs paying taxes aren't very happy to support freeloaders simply taking unemployment because they don't want to work.
I've long felt that many jobs paid unsustainably low wages. There are a lot of jobs where your net pay is below zero, long term, when you factor in the external costs associated with working, such as needing transportation. These jobs have been propped up by debt.

It looks like the pandemic has put and end to this. Transportation costs have skyrocketed to such a degree that it's basically impossible for a poor person to even get a car, because they are going to be outbid by a not-poor person who is willing to pay a lot more for the same crappy car because of shortages. Repair shops are having issues getting replacement parts, so even maintaining a vehicle is getting difficult.

We built our economy on exploitation, and now the exploited have been drained dry. So now we have to either pay up or do without.
Good thing there's always sailing the high seas of piracy.
Have you figured out any good way to have per-page javascript where the JavaScript is only sent over the wire for that pages?
The irony is despite all this right to repair stuff, apple makes some of the more long lasting devices in terms of usability. Their software updates keep coming, their phones are actually surprisingly waterproof (plenty of great rescue stories here). If you have parents who are older, you know how this works - they keep their devices much longer in my experience.

Yes, they glue the crap out of everything, solder stuff down instead of hacking bigger sockets and plug in chips with pins etc so do everything they are not supposed to. But the end result is darn long lasting and useful.

If someone thinks users will trade out for these right to repair devices go for it. Android has TONS of folks playing in that space. But I'd say let Apple try things there way - a phone that just maintains great resale value because it's a bit harder to get screwed buying one - it alerts you if the scammers swap out the battery for a crap one even which used to be one annoying issue buying used iphones that made me stop buying used.
> Where did this come from and what value does it have, other than being condescending to non-native English speakers?

What is condescending? I'm observing that it's a common problem among non-native English speakers. It seems like you're taking offense on behalf of others and unduly so.

> I am a native speaker and we're having a discussion in my native tongue about words in my native language about work I do as a profession.

This is a common idiom among English-speaking IT professionals. If you're not familiar, that's fine. Now you know.

> I do not accept Stackoverflow as an authoritative source for anything

In a minute of Googling, I found several random sources on the Internet that indicate that the term is overloaded precisely as I described. One of those sources was the Oxford English Dictionary. I think that suffices to demonstrate that this is a common idiom, but I can't force you to be persuaded. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks, that’s much better. I hope yaya notices it and lets her grandson now.
Palladium tops $3k for first time amid undersupply

Not exactly the answer to your question but France recently adopted a repairability score that has to be shown, just like the energy efficency class or nutrition labels.

The criteria are:

1- Documentation

2- Ease of disassembly, with a subsection on the necessary tools and a focus on the parts that are most likely to be serviced (for smartphones: battery, screen, ...)

3- Availability of spare parts

4- Price of spare parts relative to the finished product price

5- Extra criteria which depend on the type of item, for a smartphone, software updates are in this category
Occasionally, Twitter provides some nice insights in digestible forms (of course, nuance gets stripped).

I saw a post recently that said something like "We watch Star Trek and marvel at their post-scarcity world. We are living in a post-scarcity world now, but all the benefits are being funneled by wage slaves up to the 0.1%."

Paraphrased.

I was talking with a friend who mentioned that a local pizza place is offering *$18/hr* for bussers at the restaurant. To me, that is a great wage for someone to wipe down tables and sweep floors. If they're still having trouble filling that, is it because making $37k a year in Texas isn't good enough for a no-education, no-experience job? Is it because the high-schoolers who would normally do that aren't looking for jobs due to pandemic? Is it the unemployment security and not having to actually do work 40 hours a week?

I wonder if the roles of people at restaurants will have to shift, so each person does some of everything, and get paid more, instead of having dedicated low-wage cleaners. Or that profit-sharing and healthcare may be the new model for restaurants.
Foone’s brain is a fascinating one.
That will be a crucial point of the ruling to come yes, as the full version is "You're not forced to use them to sell on the market", and it depends on what you define as "the market".

If you consider selling apps to ios devices to be its own market, then yes you are forced to use Apple. If you don't consider that to be its own market but only a part of the actual "phones and tablets apps" market then no you are not forced to use Apple.

I believe because of the size of their userbase that apps for ios devices are a market on their own, therefore "you are forced to use Apple" applies. Here the EU seems to agree.

All these stalking counter-measures make it useless if your device is stolen rather than mislaid.

If my bag is stolen I want it to contain a hard to find device, not one that gives away its position (by warning the thief). I also want an easy mechanism to give the police temporary access to track it, til they catch the thief and get my stuff back.
I've seen an awful lot of either not understanding what a measurement means, or not caring, among management, including out of "top-tier" folks from e.g. management consulting firms you've heard of. Talking really obvious "experimental error" types of things. Taking a measurement as indicating something when there there are obvious confounders which, if you don't look into them, are probably making your number meaningless.

I don't think engineers are the only rational ones, but I think the rational ones in management have noticed that their numbers being meaningful or correct only rarely matters for getting a "yes" or a promotion, so have responded... rationally, since getting useful figures and proving that they're useful is both 1) usually a lot more work, and 2) often not even practically possible.

Yes, employers have inertia on their side. But for precisely that reason, sometimes mild irritants end up having disproportionate effects in getting people to leave in a "The Elves Leave Middle Earth" moment.
This is great. I tried a similar approach but couldn't use it as a transactional email server because of this (taken from OP's readme):

> By default, you can't send emails to unverified addresses. If you'd like to be able to send (as opposed to just receiving), you'll need to reach out to AWS to remove this limitation from your account.

I reached out AWS to remove this limitation but they refused my request 3 times claiming that my use case would impact the deliverability of their service.
I believe the theory is that Europeans kept various domesticated animals and Native Americans had far fewer, and that those animals were frequently sources of new diseases. Europe was also more interconnected, so diseases may have spread farther while Native diseases died out.

> especially the part where you only get warned about being stalked by the AirTag if you have an iPhone

I believe that's not 100% true because of a final failsafe: the AirTag will start making noise if it's separated for too long (the definition of which could be an issue) from the owner's iPhone. That failsafe works if the person doesn't even have a smartphone.

I don't know if there _is_ a perfect solution for this, but they are indeed trying.
hmm, that’s weird. swear it was in there. I’ve just edited my comment to add the url (https://www.reddit.com/r/SaaS/comments/n1vzrl/after_being_re...)
Well, it sure is for me. I immediately noticed it and started ranting about it on a tech channel at work. This security update just went out a couple of days ago so it probably isn't widely distributed yet. One of my co-workers also applied the update just out of curiosity and ran into the same issue. Maybe it depends on what sites matter to you perhaps but it makes my bank web site unusable for instance.
I'm really curious to see how this ends up doing vs. Hasura.

Postgrest (which is basically what Supabase is, obviously with other value-adds) or Hasura which basically exposes a GraphQL server that interfaces with Postgres.

Personally I prefer GraphQL as there's more tooling around that compared to Postgrest but it's interesting to see. In this case if supabase was GraphQL you could just use a subscription.

I'd be curious to know why supabase didn't go with GraphQL.

Side note:

"Minting" sounds so much nicer than "mining". Minting evokes connotations of gold and kings and craftsmen doing skilled work. Mining on the other hand is dirty. I associate digging, holes in the ground, mining waste, depths and darkness with that.

Nah, people say they will quit , but they wont, there are people who do want to go back to the office, and will die to work at Google, also very competent (not as much as people here that love working from home, I'm sure). Also most tech companies will go back, MSFT, Amazon, ... You can go to FB tho, but then you will be working for FB, if you care only about the money, then is fine I guess, at least personally is not a place I would love to be in.

Reusable Proofs of Work by Hal Finney
Most of the issues with Bird and Lime were caused by the anti-scooter groups. Seriously, your office worker is not throwing them off into bodies of water and parking structures.

Another solution would be to arrest and prosecute these anti-social types trashing things. Just go all out against them. I routinely saw Limes and Birds being knocked over en masse by these idiots. It's why we can't have nice things.
Statistically speaking, I wouldn't trust the senior managers of any company to genuinely know what measures will improve their business over the long term. Even leaving aside the depressingly large percentage who are fundamentally incompetent at managing (eg, the ones who think "yell louder and louder until people do what you demand" is an effective management style), a huge number of management at all levels are indoctrinated to believe that the next quarter's numbers, and hence the stock price, are the #1 priority at all times.

And even among those who are genuinely trying to see that the business does well for years to come, rather than the next three months and then who cares, even among the ones of them who are genuinely decent at managing a product, far too few understand the positive relationship between how you treat your employees and what you get out of them.

Because we've spent decades in this country being sold the idea that good management means forcing workers to work more hours, under tighter control, because "workers" are stupid, lazy, and/or malicious, and it is "managers" who really know how to do things right, by the very definition of their jobs.

Palisade: Open-Source Lattice Crypto Homomorphic Encryption Library
The cost to the issuer is proportional to the size of the purchase in the case of credit default or fraud. So a fixed fee does not make sense for loans. This isn't the case for the App Store.

BTW, Visa/MasterCard don't manage risk afaik -- the card issuing banks do that. Visa just connects the pos terminal etc to the right bank.
>Work-from-home as a perk has a negative cost

Negative cost but also negative revenue / productivity loss if not done properly.

Most data appears to show the hybrid model is the best for productivity. WFH several days a week, enabling focus and limiting distractions. Work from the office a couple days a week to enable coordination, connection, innovation, and alignment.

This forced experiment in 100% WFH was clearly bad for productivity. The reason tech companies provided so many perks in the past wasn't simply as a recruitment technique. A lot of it was to create an environment where workers worked longer hours and thus the firm got more productivity out of each worker. The cost-benefit analysis clearly supported that before. A caterer's salary is far lower than an engineer's.

Banks and loan are not a good comparison since you ll most likely understand a million euros loan will be harder to produce for the bank than a 1000 one. Taking a percent is fine.

Tbh it would be fine if Apple charged per bandwidth usage. But taking 50 or 500 euros in wont change how much it cost them to deliver the app.

In Java it isn't but this is specific to Java (and clones of Java like C#).

This is because Java has single-inheritance enforcement for classes.

C++ for example has multiple inheritance. So the way you do an interface is you just write an abstract class, then extend it to implement it.
with your definitions in mind, i think mining is a lot more appropriate, haha
Funny you say that - my Audi has both.

Like couldn’t decide which one to implement, so they made both.
Regulation of designs will very likely get this wrong, and very harm the environment and drive up costs.

However there could easily be regulation of labeling that could help.

E.g. mandate display of statistical years of working life, and number of years of software support.

At least this way customers would be able to make a choice.
I’m paying for those costs with my £1300 iPhone. Now I want to set whatever app as default that I like.

Also it isn’t like apple aren’t offering those features - I can play music on Spotify with Siri already. They are just putting deliberate annoying barriers in the way to make their own product appear better.
