There are quite a few factors that would matter (e.g a 100% tech crowd is going to understand that youname.app is valid whereas a non-tech crowd might think it's yournameapp.com).

Generally, I'd go with the below:

1. .com

2. slightly longer .com (e.g bobsmith.com is taken, so go with bobMIDDLENAMEsmith.com).

3. something relevant (e.g .tech, .accountant, etc).
There's also the customers that charge $1000 and end up paying back 5x that amount because of 29.95% interest.

Hey, author here.

I hope it does age poorly. I tried to make it clear that I’m a prolific user of decentralised applications, and that I really want them to succeed. I just pointed out my feelings on why they usually don’t, in the hope we can do something about it.
Because it accounts for a huge portion of the mobile market. This is exactly what antitrust is for. When you have large swaths of a market controlled by so few, you don’t actually get proper free market dynamics. Antitrust cases like this put limits on few large players that abuse their positions and generally promote and incentivize further development in the market.

If Apple was forced to allow 3rd party stores or even forced to allow apps to be transparent to their users about pricing, it would allow room for more consumer choice.
I received some electrical safety training even though I'm a software engineer and was told the same thing. An electric shock can lead to cardiac arrest for hours after it happened, with no prior warning. You should always see a cardiologist even if you feel completely fine. Without an ECG you can't know the risk.

I think that the flag should not prohibit comments, since these comment are important; however, perhaps don't display them to anyone without showdead. I also think that a chronological view should be made available. Sometimes is useful to flag for being duplicated, though; it should mark which one it is a duplicate, so that only one copy is flagged and not both. Other than that, I would be OK to get to get rid of flag, and to get rid of voting too, displaying everything only in chronological order and hiding nothing, never expiring anything. Some people don't want that, so that is why should be the options to customize the filter and sort order (and, these are not necessarily the only possibilities).
the name is not as good as hotmail, mainly because the standard pronunciation is geemail, meaning that back when the name was not well known you could theoretically say gmail.com to someone and they might think you had said email.com if they were a little hard of hearing or your enunciation was not clear.

the implementation however was much better than hotmail or any other web-based email at the time.

To argue the name was the important aspect is to argue marketing is more important than the quality of what is being marketed, an idea that HN is generally not very open to.

I don't think its nonsense, I think you didn't read what he is saying. I also believe that if Apple had been successful at building its ad business when it tried to, they would not be talking about privacy now.

Apple sees all your data before it is ever sent to Facebook.
Microsoft definitely sells privacy to business customers. For consumers they are probably just trying to lead gen for business sales.

This is not true. As I have submitted on HN earlier, Apple is using the purchases data to customise ads. https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT208477

You can make a case that the ad targeting is just on App Store, News and Stocks but that is just for now, Apple used to have an ad platform iAd which wasn't that successful, so it was discontinued. Once they milk other revenue streams and are more of a monopolistic power in other web properties(like Maps), I am quite sure ads will make a return.

Bottom line is, at this point Apple is also building user profiles like Facebook.

Edit:

It seems like Ben has deleted his tweet. I will just update the link to Apple's support page and quote the relevant section.

"""We also use information about your account, purchases, and downloads in the stores to offer advertising to ensure that ads on the App Store, Apple News, and Stocks, where available, are relevant to you."""

I think you might be referring to Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy:

https://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/iron.html

TL;DR

In any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people:

1) those who are devoted to the goals of the organization,

2) those dedicated to the organization itself.

In every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization.

"Apple is in it for themselves. As opposed to those other companies, who track us without abandon and sell our data to whomever will pay. Those companies are in it because they love us."
It’s basically impossible for an American company to defy the American government. They can try in court but ultimately the government has F-22s and nuclear weapons and Apple does not.
Those things tend to stagnate at some point, where you either fix them / get them to a reasonable level or they kill the company.

Check out some of the top company-companies around, something like WalMart, vs a tech-company like Amazon. They don't make their billions a year by being mediocre, but since tech isn't their core business (only supportive thereof) they don't burn people out on it, so will probably have manageable levels of tech debt and average to above-average technical staff. Every company has tech debt and mediocrity, but if you're not changing the wheels on the car while going 110 down the highway it won't affect _you_ nearly as much.

A Fundamental Explanation of UAPs
> By that standard, majority of Wall Street has no use case either, since much of the money is made entirely on speculation. Is betting on whether oil price will go up or down really that much of a use case?

Absolutely. Price is the single encapsulation of all information in a market. But this is only the case because oil is a scarce resource, which needs allocating, and efforts are made to ensure that markets are fair. That is not true for crypto.

However, your presumption about “mostly speculation” also isn’t true and just reeks of someone who has no finance experience. I’ve spent my career as a hedge fund trader, focused in commods. Oil markets exist principally for bonafide hedgers to exchange risk. I cannot tell you how important hedging is to global market efficiencies.
Lukashenko and Putin would love that. No one would longer doubt it when they say that opposition is backed by NATO. As for the spiral, well, Ukraine would probably lose some of its military bases, just because it's apparently no big deal now.

You seem to be implying that when Apple opened their App Store, just 13 years ago in 2008, that it was an intentional decision to allow “dark patterns,” but this really does not seem to be born out by Apple’s practices. After releasing a gigantic/global app store in 2008 Apple has done nothing but reduce and limit the ability of third parties to track iOS users, amongst other actions that are purely protective of users. Furthermore, I see some beneficence in their actions, in that it’s not like there is a huge public uproar directed at Apple compelling them to make these changes (though my hunch is it’s more about cutting away at FB and Google profits than anything else).
Of course Apple is in it for themselves, it’s just that Apple’s interests and mine overlap, as is supposed to be the case in the classical formulation of economics. I don’t mind that Apple or LEGO or Pixar is “out for themselves” — I care when the companies I transact with choose to enrich themselves from someone else’s pocket for someone else’s interests rather than from my pocket for my interests.
Nah we need that guy, because I'm sick of clickbait titles.

That's interesting to me because (particularly when I'm stressed) I mentally count the letters in sentences that people say and check to see if the number is divisible by five. If not, I reword the sentence in my head until it is.
> It's really odd to me Lua is only used for games. It could take the same place Python has and many other things. It's a nice platform for scripting.

I’ve written quite a bit of code in Fennel [1], a Lisp language which compiles to Lua, and enjoyed thoroughly the simplicity of Lua. I implemented map, filter and reduce by hand using Lua tables and genuinely experienced joy with how Lua tables are such a unifying concept throughout the language. I even enjoyed 1-based array indexing after a short while.

(Furthermore, I have to say Lua is meant to be a Lisp, insofar as homoiconicity is the simplest language syntax, and being Lua underneath removes all the esoterica from Lisp, making the end result even simpler.)

But Lua was designed from the very beginning with the assumption it would be embedded within a systems programming language like C. Lua lacks basic functionality other, more full-featured scripting languages ship support for out of the box, e.g. Lua doesn’t even have mkdir. Also, once you survey the landscape for argument parsing in Lua, or cross-platform statically linked binary compilation in Lua, you realize the Lua ecosystem itself expects you to be using Lua as an embedded scripting language.

I was able to get really far embedding Fennel in Rust, for example [2]. Rust is miles ahead of Lua in all the areas Lua is lacking. Instead of clumsily tacking on an object system on top of Lua, write Rust structs. Or instead of using ancient libraries for cross-platform filesystem and IO handling, leverage the native Rust ecosystem (see: dirs-next, clap).

My idea was to just embed Fennel in Rust, and write almost no Rust. And while it does certainly work, I’m increasingly of the belief you should use the language best for the task. Lua is best at being an embedded scripting language, good when you want to ship an interpreter on top of a C/Rust application for instance, or when you want something fancier than TOML or INI for config.

(In this department, see also the work being done on Starlark in the Bazel ecosystem [3].)

For what it's worth, I'm one of the people that's doing both. I want the store monopolies to be greatly reduced for my benefit as the consumer - and yes, I will continue to acquire and purchase things through the app store, in general, because I trust their system a lot; BUT, I also applaud them and primarily purchase their hardware because I appreciate their privacy.

It's possible to have nuance in these positions.
Aren't you, uhh, not supposed to aim at targets you don't intend to fire on?
> You would be thrilled, but would that get the candidate the job?

At previous companies I've worked at (small statups) where I had a high influence on hiring: yes absolutely unless someone more qualified with the same excitement came around (aka Rob Pike walks in).

At Google interviewing is complicated. There is a lot on the Google careers site about this if you're interested. If you brought this up while doing team matching it will make people's eyes light up. My TL liked that I was doing game dev, R&D, and OS dev for fun and I think it's a large part of why I was chosen for my team.
>For me to hope that some company will respect my “rights”?

Is that reasonable? If the government is your adversary and you suspect they aren't playing fair, then it's only a matter of time before the government puts the pressure on that company as well. Either they play ball, or they fold like Lavabit did.

At that point you need to self host all your infrastructure as well as you can, and it becomes difficult to trust anyone else.

Can't speak for the other aspects, but the capacitors issue was/is definitely a real thing. I know plenty of techs who spent weeks removing equipment due to faulty capacitors. Some of that equipment was worth having component swaps performed others were just junked / returned etc.

Nothing like "we're spending this whole month dealing with bulging or otherwise faulty capacitors" to raise eyebrows. As I recall it was a rolling wave of work done to mitigate multiple supply chain failures. "Just" because of capacitors.
Better than Zynga, right? Corporation which has leaked kids data. Clones games, manipulates kids and adults in spending thousands of $$$ on virtual things, screwed employees from stock compensation.

It's easy to criticize, right? Signal and Apple are at-least doing better than Zynga.
The slightly cheeky answer is that the existing features really kill off a huge number of bugs to start with, the more serious answer is that I, for one, am not uncritical in the slightest and will be doing what I can do move the feature forward. @live is a good idea with a slightly shoddy implementation, that made it a good first pass but hard to extend and maintain.

Microsoft was investigated by the DOJ for anti-trust, an abusive monopoly that bundled software with Windows to cut competitors out of business.

Now Microsoft is embracing open source projects for Linux, chances are they will exit the OS business and port everything to Linux.

I feel bad for Bill, because he has Asperger's Syndrome and it may be confused for being a jerk. He doesn't get social clues.
> The interesting question to me is, why is it that they are literally the ONLY large tech company that is willing to offer me this tradeoff?

Maybe other corporations consider it unethical to charge their customers a premium for a false sense of privacy and security?

> Samsung, Google, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft don't sell privacy

And neither does Apple, they just sell you on the promise of privacy. The reality is quite far removed from the perception most customers are given by their marketing and PR campaigns.

Apple might be a bit more stringent on enforcement of data sharing with third parties compared to other large tech corps, but that doesn't magically mean your privacy is invulnerable through their devices and services.

There have been multiple cases of them being caught out being hypocritical in regards to privacy, there have been multiple data breaches of Apple services and platforms to varying degrees of severity. Since the recent Epic lawsuit, it's also been revealed that Apple decided to not notify some 150 million of their customers who were victims of a data breach.

Anyone who actually thinks Apple cares even remotely about their privacy is living in a fantasy land. Unless you think being not alerted of your personal data getting exposed in a data breach of their systems is somehow not in your privacy's best interests.
Seems I got to visit it right before it was hugged to death. Love it, needed the laugh. Thanks.
>I'm willing to pay a premium of probably hundreds of dollars on a phone because I want privacy, and nobody else will even consider selling me one?

how much of a premium are most of the target market willing to pay however.

Google, Facebook, and Amazon don't sell privacy because privacy goes directly against what their business strategy is.

Samsung has based their stuff on Android an OS that, heavily influenced by Google, I suspect might be difficult to make as private as Apple can make its stuff. I suspect Samsung does not care about privacy because it has determined it will not make much money from it, and that most of the market that cares about privacy will go to Apple.

I don't know why Microsoft doesn't care as I think it would totally align with their business goals.

That tweet's been deleted, so it's hard to judge it exactly, but my recollection is that someone else pointed out "payment data" here is just App Store, iTunes, etc purchases. "Apple targets ads on the app store based on previous app store purchases" is, IMO, much less of a privacy invasion than "Facebook targets ads based on your friends list, messages, browsing history, real-life purchases, and other things I can't think of off the top of my head".

Apple's profile of me, I imagine, is much less detailed than Facebook's, despite Apple's capability to build just as much of one (after all, they own iMessage and my iCloud contacts) if they wanted to.
When I say it's easier, that doesn't mean any app can do it in user space, it's only easier because the OS itself is open source, you can modify it to your liking, and there is a decent community around alternate (also open source) images such as LineageOS which can give you very good control over what user space apps can and cannot do.

If you use an open source version of Android you can prevent even Google from tracking you. With iOS no matter how hard you try you can't really stop Apple from getting your info.
