Top comments on HN are usually ones that counter the post itself or are self-congratulatory in some congratulatory/celebration post. It's pretty obvious as to why. For people who want to read something that could have any sense of controversy - people who don't like the person or some of their content then others will read the comments and upvote the comment that aligns with them (which is counter to the content). Whereas people who upvoted the story (and maybe align with the story) will not upvote all the comments supporting the story - they might upvote one or two but might spread it out. Dissent isn't universal. It takes more effort and isn't relevant to them - also more people might just read the content and upvote it and not participate in the discussion. Upvotes are basically finite resource and tend to be spread out over majority positions, whereas minority positions are spread over fewer posts... Thus, they get to the top easier even if they're a minority.

It's not really surprising at all if you're on here enough. It's standard practice. It's not like it takes as many upvotes as the story gets to be the top comment on the page. Usually 20-40 is enough even for modestly popular posts like this. Larger ones will require over 50. A few people don't like some of his content or thumbnails and there you go - easy to reach the top.

> not wanting to have to actually get certified to do authorised repairs

There is no such thing as "authorized repair" when it comes to Apple. It's authorized "overpriced parts-changing" at best. Their "independent repair programme" is a bullshit PR tactic that thankfully seems to have failed.

Apple's IRP is absolutely not viable for a repair shop. You can't even stock parts in advance (so the minimum turnaround time becomes the parts delivery time), have to provide customer details to Apple and the prices don't work for either your or the customer's favour (in essence, it becomes just as expensive as an "authorized" repair at an Apple Store).
This absolutely belongs here. This type of article is what makes Hacker News so awesome and unique from any other place on the web.
Yeah, see, you're just spinning this "let's accept Erdogan's blackmail and give him 6 billion euroes" as a positive thing ("We did good!"), and ignoring all the shit aspects.

Do Netflix customer have to keep AWS components updated on their client device to keep Netflix working fine? Because app customers have to depend on App store vendors for OS and other components.
Aesthetics wise. It's a 'penalty' shot, it'd be pretty ineffective penalty i.e. punishment if the shot wasn't often successful.

So I'm unhappy with the Aesthetics because keepers know it's largely successful and just guess and jump the gun (or study the stats of the takers and then... just guess) which in turn let's the the takers focus on faking out the keeper with stutter steps and weird run ups. I prefer to see penalties where the kicker focuses on the skill of putting it in a spot nd the keeper responds to that.

They instituted (or started enforcing) the rule that keepers can't jump off the line before the kick is taken. For purely aesthetic reasons, I'd like something similar so they react to the ball instead of guessing
AWS pricing is extremely thorough and not at all comparable with Apple's App Store:

- AWS charge you on bandwidth used, Apple don't charge developers for the number of downloads

- AWS charge you on compute time, Apple don't charge you for ongoing use of their services beyond one initial charge for app submission

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

I'm not a fan of Apple's App Store terms any more than the next person, but the GP's comparison to eBay is a hell of a lot more apt than your comparison with AWS.
Well the most useful way I've found of classifying stuff is by analogy with formal grammars. If you view the kind of paths you can query as the set of words in a language then you get something like:

Basic (non-recursive) SQL: Finite paths

Recursive SQL / Transitive closure (with negation): Regular paths

However the hierarchy of languages doesn't end there. And some graph databases allow you to add arbitrary grammar rules, which make it possible to add some complex rules like:

- If condition X,Y and Z is satisfied then person A and B are the same person

- Equality is transitive

- If two people are equal then each property of one is also a property of the other.

The part that makes this tricky is that figuring out two people are equal can cause other people to now suddenly satisfy the condition for equality.

You could also construct some examples by creating conditions which aren't "regular" (e.g. person A and B have an ancestor which is the same number of generations back for both of them).
But then if you force every option to be priced the same, despite how much it costs the developer, then you're distorting everything again.

For example, I can pay $0.99 to buy a game using Square or Apple, but Apple takes a 30% cut and will give me a full refund if I don't like the game. I chose Apple every time, but not because it's "better", it's just better for me and I'm not the one paying for it.
Bret’s claim to fame is making a novel discovery about telomeres that was supposedly stolen by another author after an email exchange. He, of course, has yet to show any proof of this claim (a simple email would do).

Nah. Where I live, eBay is a synonym for buying used stuff. I know thats not quite true, but this is how eBay was conceived, and is still perceived around here. We have a more local service for that, which is fine for finding something which doesnt need to be new... But at least a few years ago, there was a clear difference between amazon.de and say willhaben.at :-) Maybe that has changed even more, I wouldn't know. I basically gave up on looking up stuff on amazon.

Forget politics, let's turn to normal people. Illicit actions of criminals justify the use of policing force on them in all countries of the world.

The actions are the same: coercion through force, basically. In one case they are wrong (criminal), in other case they are good and justified by wrong actions (policing).

JSON in Postgres is a bit like a nail gun. Used correctly, it's incredibly useful. But in inexperienced hands (and lacking good technical leadership), it's easy to shoot yourself in the thigh.

You don't even need JSONB to commit war crimes on a Postgres database. There's many things that Postgres can do, but probably shouldn't be done:

- Storing "foreign keys" in an array column, instead of using a join table

- Storing binary files as base64 encoded strings in text columns

- Using a table with `key` and `value` string columns instead of using redis

- Pub/sub using NOTIFY/LISTEN
- Message queueing

- Other forms of IPC in general

- Storing executable code

- God tables

Even when trying to use Postgres appropriately, plenty of engineers don't get it right: unnecessary indices, missing indices, denormalised data, etc.

This isn't unique to Postgres, or relational databases in general. Any form of storage can and will be used to do things it's not designed or appropriate for. You can use as easily use S3 or Elasticsearch for message queuing, and can even find official guides to help you do so. Go back 20 years or so, and you can find implementations of message busses using SOAP over SMTP.

The problem isn't JSONB (or any other feature). It's bad engineering. Usually it's an incarnation of Maslow's Hammer: when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I'm sure there are plenty of examples of good coming out of politics, all across the world. The evil politician stereotype is neither new nor completely accurate. I'd assume that much depends on the system in which the politician in question operates. Some systems easily lend themselves to abuse and corruption, and others are slightly more robust. In a word, it's complicated :)
I don't think it's a limitation, it's just by design. a['b'] is equivalent to a->'b' not to a->>'b', otherwise deep references (a['b']['c']) would not work because first a['b'] would return text and not jsonb value.

Oh, please - as if only an Apple fan can have legitimate concerns about an iDevice.

I am typing this on an iPad. I am a vocal Apple critic. (Go through my post history here). Apple has turned a section of their customer base against them because of their unethical business tactics. Right to privacy and data protection is intrinsically linked to your Right to Repair. Those of us who have invested in a product want to own it completely, like we do our car or house.
Rent would go up and there would be basically 0 actually free apps anymore. It’s already hard to pay 99$ a year for many people. Now you have to pay some larger number and your app may never make money. It’s always an achievement just to get your 99$ back anyway.

If your only understanding of how politics can function in a workplace is "loudly spraying your opinion into your workmates ears who have no choice to be there" then that's your problem right there.

Note also that your insistence that no "politics" happen in the workplace is political. So you can either hold true to your views and stop mentioning it or give it up and instead advocate for some more reasonable change.

regulating intellectual "property" will only become increasingly difficult to protect and regulate as the technology for recording, copying, and disseminating information improves. In order to regulate intellectual "property", you need to gimp information technology with DRM.

Rossman has also made it clear that right to repair is concerned with things like access to replacement parts, and has stated that it is not about things being more difficult to repair due to technological change. An example he gave is that he may grumble about having to reball a chip, but people can still do that. On the other hand, there is very little they can do if they need a repacement chip they are denied access to. (Their only recourse are doner boards, and even that has limits.)

I was describing raw data shovelling throughput. Of course there's going to be per-packet overhead. 100Mbps internet connections were quite rare 20 years ago, so the point still stands that for a layman / average home LAN, general purpose CPUs can shovel an impressive amount of network traffic.

Sure, you'll likely need purpose-made hardware above a certain amount of throughput. I suspect that practical threshold these days is between 1Gps and 10Gbps, although it's a much grayer line than it was 20 years ago. The network interfaces are likely the bottleneck rather than the CPU's ability to shovel, and latency will always be higher than dedicated hardware.

There will of course always be a need for hardware to go faster than what a CPU can do. Tbps is becoming a unit folk use regularly.
Pressure to stop pulling this kind of bs if they want to remain a viable economy in Europe.

Bob says "2 plus 2 is 4"

> Look, I think Bob is a smart person and knows a lot about math, but personally I don't like him. He's balding, he collects plastic folding chairs in his garage, and he has a Youtube channel with clickbaity titles.

Why does that matter? He's right, `2 + 2 == 4`. Why are you posting personal attacks instead of debating his argument? It's impossible to have a productive discussion like that, and it's childish.

> I'm not sure why you would say that. Some critics on this thread have given pretty good reasons for why they "dislike" Bob. while it may seem like some (not most) of those points are attacking Bob's character, I don't see how some of his character doesn't have a direct impact on his arguments. If he always goes for clickbait titles, has a tendency to exaggerate, prefers to perpetually rant/glorify himself or likes to talk about things that he clearly does not know a lot about that can obviously taint the core of his message to some.

> FWIW, personally I've watched Bob since the very beginning and he knows a lot about repairing electronics. But I also think the way he kept getting more and more attention as he ranted about Apple really changed the channel and his character at least on video.

> Also, I honestly think it's more childish to use the "if x is getting criticized it means it's probably right" trope here than it is to criticize the personality of a public figure.

Another comment mentioned this. The fragmentation issue that comes up with multiple app stores. I agree that it is an issue that can come up. Pretty sure epic is trying for something like this in android.

But it dosent take away from my point that an alternative store does not affect the quality of apps in the main store.

As for an alt store becoming normalized I feel that users will only install the necessary app from the alt store and not anything else. A lot of alt stores tried to set themselves up in android but didn't succeed. I think it mostly comes down to incentives. Apple can easily change them to make sure no other store gets the upper hand

For me I have boiled down my computing to a set of easily repeatable steps to get going again if anything ever happens to my device. All my most important data is in the cloud, so if a device is stolen, I can log back into everything and continue my computing. I just buy a new device and log back into everything, which takes 30 mins tops. This actually works out cheaper than getting it repaired!
