yeah, but what looks better ? our device is 1mm thinner then previous version or our device is 50g less in weight? PR pushes hard on this thinness numbers and camera megapixels at least this is my observations and I could be wrong (I might been hit with different kind of ads and reviews)...

My point is that it is very likely that reviewers did not forced Apple to do anything (like what is the chance) but Apple pushed reviewers to focus on whatever they wanted to show(how many reviewers will tell you on how hard or impossible it is to change a battery on your device, or that you can't upgrade the disk or RAM as you did in the past)

Too much credit is given to the concept of “just using another phone”, whether it is for a user or a developer.

As a user, no way I would just toss aside years of app purchases and past experiences on one platform to suddenly decide to switch. Sure, some people do but generally they don’t. Switching cost applies to lots of things, not just phones, yet the inability of app stores to transfer proof of purchase makes this cost higher than it would normally be.

As a developer, like it or not you will depend on some (usually large) percentage of APIs available only on your first chosen platform. Probably even the programming language! And for the most unfortunate of businesses, a ton of this effort will be spent up front before even knowing if some new idea for an app will be denied entry to the App Store due to some unwritten rule (or worse, denied a few years in as the rules shift). If you reach the conclusion that you picked the wrong first platform, most developers are not “free” to “just” pick another phone/platform and make it all work out before going broke.

Sigh. I'll remind you that it's a rule around here to presume good faith. Dealing with such comments is noxious and tiresome.

I left it out because my post was already too long. If I left it out because it invalidated my point, I wouldn't have mentioned it.

> Freedom of religion and expression are coded in the same amendment for a reason, and come from the same historically progressive ideals.

Yes they are, but the amendment you're referencing limits only what the government can do, not private parties.

We as a society have placed some restrictions on the right of free association via legislation, not amendment, but the overlap with the first amendment is much less clear than you imply. Some aspects of the first amendment have been turned into protected characteristics (religion), others have not (speech).

> Do you think freedom of expression is as important and historically significant to human rights (i.e. the right to not be refused service based on your skin color) as freedom to not wear pants?

I believe that freedom of expression is important, but I also believe that freedom of association is important. When the two come into conflict on private property, I generally hold that the right of free association is more important than free expression. This is because free expression is only temporarily inconvenienced if one is told to express elsewhere, while free association is inalterably destroyed if one cannot ask someone to leave your private property based on their behavior.
I love my YouTube Premium subscription
Apple can't lock physics.

However Apple can lock their software. The software is licensed, you don't buy that but licence it like Photoshop. Adobe also doesn't provide you with an easy way to do your taxes on Photoshop but I'm yet hear to claim that Adobe is preventing us from doing our taxes.(I couldn't think out of my head a major software that's not on subscription model, hmm)

Remove it and install something like Android on it, it is hard but it has been done before.

I simply don't see how Apple is obligated to make it easy or create tools for doing it. It's not promised upon purchase or on any advertisement materials.

It's not different than complaining that Apple does not let you use your phone as pocket heater through heating the Qi coil.

My conspicuous lack of examples is mere laziness. If you want to prove it, just go look. This board is open.

What I will say from reviewing your comments is that you're obviously discontented with software. In many ways I don't blame you, this industry is a young person's game, and even in my thirties I am dying. I can feel it when I'm annoyed that someone reprioritized parts of my project to fit their demands and concerns, even when they'd be solved by how the team had decided to tackle them. I sense it when I get frustrated with people in my life and my only reaction, in order to avoid lashing out at them, is to act like I am devoid of feeling. I have this mode where my eyes glaze over, my voice softens, and I relax - it's totally unnatural, I'm a former Marine, passion and energy are part and parcel to who I am, yet I show those to people in software and they get butthurt with the quickness of reverse time dilation. If these comments and skepticism are the result of that, then you're falling into the sink hole I was in where I had a beef and reflected that on the wider industry. I still have beefs but they're pretty specific and I don't translate them to the wider world anymore. Maybe all that's unrelated though, but in the case it's not I hope these words help.
Peloton sold well during the pandemic precisely because people couldn't cycle to work, or go to shops, or the gym, or see friends and family.

Moreover, having a Peloton does not conflict with also going outside for exercise; most of the Peloton users I know engage in outdoor activities like (trail) running and mountain biking and have the machine because it's convenient to just hop on whenever.

There is something wrong when a man thinks that a slow stroll through a nature reserve constitutes anything even remotely close to the type of exercise one gets in a cycling class.

HN: I hate ads

YT comes up with a premium offering.

Also, HN: I won't pay for YouTube Premium. Here is how I use adblock to block ads.

I really don't get this rationale. We pay for other services. YT is effectively a pipe which hosts and streams content for you, that does cost something.

I consider YouTube to be a repository of knowledge rather than just a specialised video hosting service like Netflix. As it has everything from how do I bake cookies, to something as niche as how do I fix the specific model of bike I have. It makes sense to just pay for it.

Content creators can earn money from Patreon or sponsorships but for it to be profitable to host these videos, YT will have to charge for them either via subscription or ads.
Seriously how do you do this for any length of time? I would have neck and back ache and my hands would cramp up after just 1 day.

If your best friend tells you to buy a VPN or Bluetooth ear gadgets you take their recommendations on board. You believe them. If they have a referral code you take it.

CLI is a relatively "pristine" environment, where a lot of people's time is spent and nothing competes for our attention (or data as was pointed out). Any business model that could plausibly exploit this environment for financial gain would be an easy sell to investors.

I'd need to see such a model doing a good-enough job of identifying snarky / angry comments. The worst case of such a solution is that it's almost good enough but not quite—an uncanny valley type thing—in which case it will just piss people off. And anything less good than that would merely add noise.

Edit: of course, since comments are all public data, anyone who wanted to could work on such a model, and if anyone came up with one that was good enough, that would be significant work and I would very much like to know!

It might be better to conceptualize negative numbers as numbers in a different direction or along a different axis.

If I cover lunch for you, you would owe me $5.

In a way, you now have -$5. You won't have $0 until you pay me back the $5 you owe. We can also say you have $5 of debt. That makes the number positive while still representing the amount. But when reconciling your books, it'll be subtracted from your total.
This is why it's been so dangerous to allow anti GMO rhetoric into our grocery stores. It's normalized. GMOs are seen like harmful pesticides to the lay public, but GMOs are what we will need to rely upon if we are to ensure our grandchildren don't go hungry. We will have to introduce biodiversity ourselves as we lose it in our monocropped cultivars.

If you are someone that believes in blockchain being something as revolutionary as the internet, you might see oracles as a temporary solution. Currently, we need a bridge between the blockchain and the rest of the world since there is no other way to link information between the two.

But if you believe in this potential blockchain-everything future, all of this information will be on the blockchain as the single source of truth. At that point, oracles will not be needed and the information will be stored directly on the chain.
The difference is that a facsimile autograph would inevitably be of worse quality. The phony NFT on the other hand would be indistinguishable from "the real thing". Beyond the payload it's just pseudo-random bits generated by an arbitrary CPU, isn't it?

I wonder if NFTs are a societal reaction to the increasing lack of ownership of digital products. Surely people must understand that they're aren't the sole owners of whatever the NFT points to though?. It's just not possible with digital objects.
There are some very interesting technical challenges that NFTs are being used for. Stuff like baskets of assets, appraising and taking out loans on assets, and certain distributed games like aavegotchi. At the end of the day, representing non-fungible assets is something useful. It's just that most people's exposure to it is seeing someone riding the hype to sell something that would probably have sold for a lot of money without being on the blockchain. Nothing wrong with that either if both sides are happy with the deal.

There are a lot of interesting technologies being worked on in moving real world data on chain as well. I'd highly suggest you look into chainlink. They cover all sides of the vulnerabilities associated with getting accurate data when you could be trusting a potentially malicious data provider.

I wish hn would cover some of these more often
I'd challenge you to find me 10 treadmills that have the guard you speak of. I have personally looked at probably 2 dozen treadmills in my life while shopping.

I have no doubt a few exist but I would be absolutely shocked to find out they exist in a meaningful enough number to be anything but a rounding error.

But you're wrong. If you look at economic records going back to the middle ages, you can see the effect of Keynesian economics, central banks, social safety nets, social security systems, etc. Have had on reducing slumps and unemployment. We've gotten very, very good at it. In the 1600's, there were great depression-style crashes every 5 years or so. Despite massive wars, pandemics, geopolitics, and automation, economic slumps and unemployment have been incredibly moderate the past 90 years or so, and they have gotten milder as a function of time over that timeframe.

Then so is this code:

function main() {
let name = prompt('Hello, what is your name?');
alert('Hello, ' + name);
}

This function can also be passed around, kept in lists etc. without executing it. So you can also say it is a specification of impure actions. It only has effect when executed by the runtime. So within JavaScript I guess it is 100% pure?
as a whole ? I believe there can't be such thing. Fair for one may not be fair for other. 'Better' for one may not be better for other.
You can't turn a real Van Gogh into a NFT. If anything the actual painting is the real life NFT to the image that is public domain on the internet. By destroying an original you own you are just burning money.

And by doing that, you will also piss off pretty much everyone on the planet, and no one will want that (digital) NFT. In fact, I wouldn't want to take that shameful NFT even if you paid me for it.

> is an attack against the entire idea of writing good quality code:
> 'It may not be possible for us to ever reach empirical definitions of "good code" or "clean code"'

I read it as an attack against the idea that there are hard and fast, objective and empirically verifiable rules for good quality code. The Clean Code book itself is a perfect example of how subjective such rules are. I feel really sorry for you if the only methods for software development that you know are "brute force it by throwing thousands of engineers at a giant ball of spaghetti code" and sticking a book that has some fanatic supporters. "Readable", "maintainable", "succint" or "efficient" don't really describe Martin's examples and many functional programming enthusiasts would question "composable" too. Yes, I wasted several hours of my life reading that book and I'm never getting them back.
When we train neural networks, we don't tell them what to think and how to think about it. We mostly focus on overall structure, layers and we want useful outcomes. And yet we see lots of patterns that repeat ways in which we think.

I think if a lion could speak, we'd understand him, because we're much closer to "a speaking lion" ourselves than we realize. Our intelligence didn't just happen at the last mile between ape and humans. Our intelligence has been emerging from the simplest animal there is throughout our entire evolutionary history.

And even then we see birds, octopuses and so on use tools and solve problems very similarly to us, which have branched much earlier from us. There are many different types of minds that can evolve. But I believe the fundamentals will always be the same. They're fundamentals of information processing systems. And BTW, we know dolphins, parrots and so on can do basic math, like counting, and translating that count to another set of objects. So they understand numbers, that's what numbers are at their most basic.

We marvel at how enormous the universe is, and how varied life in it can be, how different the minds of aliens may be. But in that seemingly humble pondering, there underlies something very arrogant. We think our mind is special. We think it's unique. And other minds will think extremely differently.

I think we'll figure out sooner or later, that our mind is basically inevitable, the broad strokes will be replicated for every species throughout the universe. This doesn't mean it'll be immediately easy to figure out aliens and their culture. But those are the details, not the fundamentals.

Many years ago, I interned at Google and a very wise mentor of mine explained Google to me in a way that has stuck with me.

"Google discovered a hose that money poured out of. It's called 'online advertising'. All that we do now is find ways to make that hose go faster, and desperately search for another hose."

Why does Google develop 3+ different OS's? In case one of them is a money hose. Why has Google created thousands of products, only to cancel most of them once people fell in love? Because they decided that they weren't money hoses.
But they're still going to keep doing all the tracking and whatnot.
