> to not allow him to be transited through their airspace.

This is exactly what Belarus just did. The US and it's allies are now strongly objecting that it's illegal and improper to do exactly what they've previously done.

The idea of mutually agreeing to allow commercial transportation aircraft to transit your airspace is supposed to be that this is not done. It is hugely hypocritical for the US to have used this same tactic, even if done through proxies.

> GMO plants are modified to make them more difficult to propagate and produce seeds

Can you name a single commercially available GMO that has this property, aside from being a hybrid (hybrids don't breed true, but that's because they're hybrids, not because they're GMOs)? It is my understanding that there's no real need for any such technology anyway, as legal protection suffices.
This is one of the questions you should ask during your interviews. The smaller the startup, the less likely they are to have a good work/life balance, and the larger the company the more likely you are to have a good work/life balance.

The sad part is that overtime is not really necessary. Outside of emergencies ("the DB is down!"), engineers shouldn't ever really have to work more than 40-50 hours per week. The key is having a good medium-term (or long-term) vision and figuring out the milestones you need to hit to get there. Most companies where I have been expected to put in more than a 9-5 are companies that have zero idea what they're going to be doing three months from now. That's a huge problem.

I firmly believe that if you can plan ahead -- even tentatively! -- you can avoid overtime and focus on the most important things. Let's say you're a company that delivers custom guitars. You started off only in the Minneapolis, MN area because that's where you're headquartered. Now you want to expand into New York City. NYC is your make-or-break market. If you can make it in NYC, you can make it anywhere. So what do you do? Do you put in 80 hour weeks to get to NYC? No, what you do is you look at your current capabilities and you compare that against what you need to do to be successful in NYC. Anything that doesn't get you closer to NYC, you cut from the roadmap. That doesn't mean you never do it, but it means you don't do it now.

And now you're able to measure velocity! If you recall from physics class, velocity = speed + direction). It's not about just going fast, it's about going fast in the right direction. In other words, if you're working on something that isn't getting you closer to NYC, then you may be working fast, but you're not going in the right direction!

Having a clear north star and a clear set of priorities is the key to ensuring good work/life balance.

The reason that bigger companies have a better work/life balance is because they have more resources! More resources to spread out to hit ALL of the goals that they want to do. But smaller companies struggle because they have limited resources when it seems like they need to accomplish everything. It's a hard, hard line to walk. But it's possible. There are a lot of companies that move fast and grow fast and have a good work/life balance. So don't give up.

Back to my first sentence: you should ask about this in your interviews, toward the final stages. "How many hours a week do you work? How far out is your roadmap? What is the biggest thing you need to accomplish in the next six months? How often do you work on things that aren't related to that?"

My two cents? There's always more work tomorrow. It doesn't matter how much you get done today, there's always going to be another pile of work tomorrow. So find a place that recognizes that and prioritizes people as people instead of as cattle. Good luck.

Why, exactly, are they evil? It's not as if people who buy Apple (like me, and I develop for iPhone/iPad too) don't know what they're getting. I like the walled garden Apple has because:

* It makes my life as a developer much easier. I only have one App Store to aim at, and with a few hiccups here and there from inexperienced or overzealous reviewers the guidelines are pretty clear. If I had to design for half a dozen or more apps I'd have that many more versions of guidelines to worry about.

* I don't need to worry nearly as much about scam or knock-off apps siphoning off users, since Apple is proactive about that. Not perfect, but very proactive.

Those are just two off the top of my head. There are more, but I'm getting hungry.
The comment was not unsubstantial, nor was it “clever” in the way you suggest was attempted. Cigarettes were quite a popular market driven product for literally decades. The point being, obviously, that “the market decides” isn’t necessarily a good way to determine or identify quality, or what consumers actually want or need.
It’d be a fair bit of work, but from a technical point of view you could implement a click and a drag event handler that “selects” the text, and intercept Ctrl+C etc and place the text on the browser clipboard.

Ultimately it would probably feel quite unnatural compared to the native text selection of the browser. And probably would not work very well except in a small subset of browsers.

I think at some point in the future browsers and/or operating systems will ship with machine learning powered systems for recognizing text in bitmaps and for letting users copy recognized text. This is already possible today both with third party non-ML powered OCR software and with third party ML-powered software.

Triplebyte are about interviewing and being middleman. This requires a certain churn rate.

So imagine that now you're employed but didn't get it from triplebyte, one day you get called into the bosses office: "We've noticed youre listed on triplebyte as seeking another position..." This may be detrimental if in fact you want to stay. Eg raises, bonuses.

Automatic listings to me are privacy violations.
When your livelihood includes supporting Apple platforms, that's not really an option.
One thing I don't like about the iOS model is that 100/yr is a significant barrier to hosting "open source" type apps out of the goodness of your heart. Concrete example: best ssh app on android is ConnectBot which is gratis and free. Best ssh app on iOS is Termius which is crippled by default, nonfree, and requires a $10/mo *subscription* to unlock. I don't mind paying for software I use, but 120/yr for a phone ssh app is too much.

And this is the best app on the store, a less costly and freer competitor hasn't emerged.

And I can't even sideload my own apps.

To add to this...

A transformer converts electrical energy into a magnetic field and back into electrical energy. All the energy from a single 'sine wave' must be stored in the magnetic field inside the transformer briefly before coming out of the output. The transformer core is made of steel usually. For a given weight of steel, there is a maximum amount of magnetic energy it can store.

That means that at low frequencies like 50/60Hz, transformers end up very bulky.
> - AWS charge you on bandwidth used, Apple don't charge developers for the number of downloads

Their point is that Apple could charge based on bandwidth used, and that this could be more fair for some developers.

> AWS charge you for storage, Apple don't charge you for storing your app

I would be pretty happy with Apple charging for app storage if it was at S3 rates - it would amount to almost nothing.
The argument against IP protection for GMOs makes no sense to me at all. If there were ever a technology for which IP protection was appropriate, it's this one. The plants literally manufacture themselves, so if the IP wasn't protected the investment in the creation of the variety could not be recouped. There would be one season of sales then the market would be gone.
Censorship, Freedom of Speech, Moles and Wolves, & Cultural Marxism
Much of the world has been living more or less under authoritarian, fascist rule since the spring of 2020, yet the vast majority of people have absolutely no problem with that. The minority that protest comprise a bizarre amalgam of libertarians, alt-right individuals, conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers, small business owners, performing artists, and maverick scientists. Historically, an abrupt move to authoritarianism has been the reflex to outbreaks of deadly infectious diseases (and incidentally, this may be the origin of the habit to call a strict, clean, rule-abiding individual “Nazi”). Reasons that so many applaud the restrictive measures and harsh punishments for offenders include fear of the disease, but also a certain pre-existing dislike of the independent thinkers that make up the protesters

A variety of projects were then conceived and initiated to destroy all nation states and establish a new world rule with no place for national identity and tradition. These projects involved the purposeful occupation of all vital institutions and industries, and the promotion and facilitation of migration streams (and other genocidal schemes) to permanently alter the populations and cultures of Europe, North America, and the West in general. The motivation behind this was a burning hatred of nations, Christianity, White people, masculinity, artisanship, and manual labour. The basic strategy was to make the institutions and corporations more powerful than the national governments. This has meanwhile been achieved for much of the world.

It is an ideological terror because it allows no dissent. Any expression that violates its dogmas is suppressed, censored, or made illegal and prosecuted. Cultural Marxism is the epitome of intolerance, tribalism, and xenophobia. It is a tribe aiming to subjugate the world and become the ruling caste in a new era of feudalism.

I don't know if this is just a coincidence with Microsoft now owning GitHub, but this has historically been a Microsoft trait.

> Honestly if a bunch of people wanted to censor someone I would want to listen to that person even more.

Sure, you can do that. For me, it would probably depend on who did the "censoring" (see below).

> I also think you’re kinda playing Devil’s advocate a bit much here.

Wait, who's the devil here? Seriously, I have no idea what you mean.

Again: it am not talking about censorship by the government, I am simply talking about not listening to certain people. For me, in Germany, I would for example categorically refuse to listen to and engage in discussions with voters of the "AfD" party (right-wing party, with one leader that you can officially call a fascist based on a court decision) or the so called "Querdenker" people.

The worst thing about amazon.co.uk now days is that the search results are so polluted by knock-off and irrelevant products.

Even when Amazon has exactly the product you're searching for, they'll often bury it under a dozen vaguely related junk items (which sometimes don't match your search term at all). Presumably because those vendors have paid for elevated search placement?
Right to repair needs to be preserved if we want to have the next generation of hackers and engineers. A good chunk of learning happens when you break apart devices and put them back together, or fix them yourself. You screw up, and learn during the entire process.

It would be God awful if the next Tesla can't buy some chips he wants to solder onto his broken Mac because Apple prevents chip manufacturers from selling them.

Tsikhanouskaya has no government and cannot be recognized as a legitimate president, only as opposition leader. There are only indications that she may have got popular vote, but until there are free and transparent elections it is only a rumor - not enough for recognition by democratic standards.
In this role the only topic that can be discussed with her is the peaceful transition of power and organization of new elections - until they happen, there is no recognized government and no negotiation party.

Active non-recognition can be a good option here: since there is no recognized government, in all applicable cases (events, elections in international organizations etc) it shall be decided that Belarus abstained from vote or was absent. Membership and contractual payments from Belarus can be rejected and considered not happening, resulting in suspensions, sanctions and cancellations and so on and so on.

Xbox OS runs apps that others create, but only Microsoft controls (they can dis-approve of you at any time, and can change the rules at any time).

Now do the same with Sony and Playstation, Nintendo and their consoles etc.

What makes this really complex for the EU is that they have tried to punish Poland for this and other various things, but a sanction requires the agreement of all member states, and a certain state named Hungary has an implicit agreement with Poland to never vote in agreement with the EU, and Poland the same for Hungary.

As a result, the EU tries to sanction Poland, but Hungary won't agree and so the sanction fails. Try to sanction Hungary? Poland is out, sanction fails. I have to admit that it's clever on Poland and Hungary's part, as it lets them selectively ignore some of the EU's more (from their perspective) overbearing rulings.
And there certainly no need for a "flag Western NATO troll". After all, only russians can be bad, militaristic, zealous and their patriotism must be punished by death, no less.

> Unfortunately, Apple has to maintain this rule because otherwise developers will implement workarounds to avoid charging in the App Store altogether

If the decision goes against Apple, I'd be surprised if they didn't just 'charge rent' to be on the App Store, just like a retail mall charges stores. Apple would have to take on the additional work of negotiating with each App, which would likely be "take it or leave it" pricing for all except the big ones, but I can't imagine it being illegal.

That doesn't cut to the core claim of lack of competition, though, and that's why the choice of remedy here will be interesting.
