I don't get why the RTC doesn't use seconds since some epoch. Encoding calendar in hardware/firmware feels wrong.

Somewhat on a tangent, why don't we use TAI in hardware, since UTC is discontinuous?
How is infrastructure "a blurry concept"? If it doesn't touch Apple's servers, it's none of Apple's business.
So they released the code open source and then were mad about someone using the source?
A character assassination would be something like "He does something morally reprehensible (cheating, selling ads to three year olds, etc". The above post is more like "He harps on multiple things he maybe shouldn't, and has an outraged user-base he keeps stoked, so that should be taken into account."

If I said, "I find his voice really grating and his outrage mostly makes me dislike him" that isn't a character assassination- just my opinion he is unlikeable.
> But also I've seen Rossman outright demand their hardware changes just so it's easier to repair, without regard to things like weight, water resistance, and overall UX.

This is just a blatant lie and in fact complete opposite of what he is saying:

I have never heard of that connection. I was under the assumption anti gmo folk were against modified rice that is super drought resistant.
Right to repair isn't "obligation to repair devices yourself", or "force manufacturers to redesign hardware so repair shops jobs are easier".

It's about preventing certain business practices that hinder the repair industry. Like when Apple forces their suppliers to not sell components to anyone but them.

"Component level repair" is a thing that's done today. It involves replacing individual components on a motherboard with a microscope and soldering iron, special equipment, and smart and well-trained people. That's what Rossman does regularly on his Youtube channel.

But even if you have the skills and tools to replace a tiny burned out IC on a motherboard, where do you get a replacement? Apple doesn't allow suppliers to sell them to anyone.

Did you know: lots of mirrorless cameras already runs Linux anyway.
I upvoted you because you presented an alternate view I hadn't heard before, but I disagree.

After a few years, a laptop's battery degrades. In well under a decade, Wirth's Law kicks in to make devices seem slow.

This attitude unintentionally suggests that people should turn their entire computers into e-waste instead of just swapping the battery or upgrading the RAM.
Hi, congrats on launching! I can see that this project will be giving quite a few companies a run for their money!

I was curious about your email-as-a-CMS solution. How does it work? Did you take inspiration from an existing project that does this?

I am aware of how Amazon uses something similar to allow people to email PDFs to their Kindle devices. But I am very interested in how you got your solution to work.

Cheers! And thank you!
A good outlook but you are one of few.

Sadly I gave up studying French and focused on Russian and German. I have experience in all countries and after being in France I was so disheartened I gave up. My uni grades for French reflect this :(

It seems inevitable to me that if cryptocurrencies don’t fail or eat themselves with scams and bubbles, they will be banned by most nations. Outlawing unhosted wallets is basically a ban, since hosted wallets are essentially the same thing as a regular bank account. At that point there is little reason to bother with the cryptocurrency P2P layer.

There’s two reasons countries would do this. One is obvious: control and law enforcement. The other is to prevent the emergence of any threat to sovereign fiat currencies which are effectively weapons of economic warfare.

“The fed is a weapon,” as one finance person once said, and he called it a kind of economic Death Star. Countries with major sovereign currencies used internationally can in effect levy an imperial tax on users of the currency by exporting inflation. Seeking to “end the fed” is basically akin to trespassing on a military base and sabotaging ordinance. The US isn’t the only country they does this, but it’s probably the largest. Countries like China might want to displace the dollar, but they don’t want Bitcoin. They want to displace the dollar for the Yuan so they can pull the same trick.

It’s probably worth distinguishing between two conditions.

1) Literally anyone who works hard can become wealthy

2) Anyone who works hard and has the talent can become wealthy

The latter still represents opportunity shared by all. However, not opportunity that can be realized by all.

I like this, it’s a strange notion that something as medically advanced as immunization is basically performed the same way as it was 90 years ago, but also in a social aspect as well. Didn’t know about the 1920-30’s Japanese Modern Girl culture myself, this article is a nice historical and modern dovetailing of science, sociology, and ultimately beautiful and important art. Thanks.
> Apple itself said in the trial that games pretty much subsidize all other apps in terms of the money Apple makes out of the App Store.

How does that work? It's not like Apple spent money to develop the games or the apps. And they are diverting money from the profitable games to the unprofitable apps. So how, exactly, are the games subsidizing the apps?

Anyone know how these sellers get your email address? I had a similar experience. The product met 90% of what I needed but the advertised 10% did not, and that 10% was critical for what I needed to do. I left a 2 or 3 star review (I forgot).

I kept getting spammed to my personal e-mail. I was not sure if they were sending through Amazon system or directly - my guess was directly. Later on I did modify my review. I reduced it by 1 more star.

> Rossmann is an important voice in the right to repair, however I do feel like he leaned into a certain audience, pandering to them a bit as a reliable target for ad impressions, and it has undermined his credibility.

I don't see how pandering to your audience or making money on ad impressions is undermining credibility.

Every politician is pandering to their constituents counting on their votes.

> When you see someone posting a Rossmann video, 9 times out 10 if you look at their history it isn't some guy concerned about repairing his iPhone or MacBook.

You are barely comprehensible.

Louis literally owns a company that repairs MacBooks. And if you cared to watch his channel a little bit over the years as I did, he build his user base not on ire for Apple but on his expert knowledge on how to repair their products.

The channel is not just for people who want to repair their MacBooks. The channels are for people who maybe at some point were interested in MacBook repair (I went in for board diagnosis) but then stayed because Louis had something more to say.

> The guy is monetizing a certain base. Probably doing pretty well out of it.

Is this jealousy I am hearing?

Is this a proof he isn't right?

EVERY channel on youtube with large userbase is earning some money.

OP seemed quite open that he sees his right to repair work as important and is simply commenting on the direction his YouTube channel is taking. Not sure what goal posts are being shifted exactly and I can't see what "personal characteristics" are being attacked in any way in what reads as a simple personal opinion.
Based on a face-value reading of the text above, it paints it as copyright violation.

That doesn't imply it's [entirely] true, but it certainly warrants some analysis. It's not clear what exactly happened without digging. As of today, one of the core files (`kernel.asm`[¹]) is clear about licensing, but the history may have been "not straightforward".

Cook didn't say anything about tracking purchases, or even getting a cut as such. He said they would need to find another way to invoice developers, which just means another revenue model, that's all.

Meta on the comments: While it's true that the salaries are unreasonably low, it doesn't mean that there are 500k Americans capable of doing cybersecurity work just waiting for the right paycheck.

There can be _both_ a worker shortage and unreasonable salary expectations. A labor market will always have slack on both sides, but even at the extreme, there could be 10 cybersecurity experts, and you'd have people saying "Oh, you can find workers, you just have to be willing to pay $100mm/yr."
Also, if people started doing that, soon it would work no more

This is a good illustration of the point. But at the same time, customers have multiple pharmacies to choose from. And I'm pretty sure that it's still more the government regulators' job (FDA, etc) to decide what's safe to sell or not, than it is the for-profit corporations'.

Well you could charge developers per download. I find these arguments very audacious and entitled. Saying that developers are not entitled to profits, only apple is, with a straight face, is... remarkable
Repairability doesn’t make products fragile or unreliable, poor design and quality control does. Source: spent the last 18 months building a highly repairable product and putting it through the same reliability tests less repairable products go through.

A lot of repairability just comes down to making replacement parts readily available too, which is orthogonal to the design.
I just don't buy this argument that Apple maintaining control over iOS is necessary for privacy. I think it's a false dichotomy. If you build a good OS, with good strong APIs, you can achieve both privacy and a more open ecosystem.

I don’t agree. A few months ago my blog post on CRDTs got 100k views within a week after landing on the top of HN. It’s just hosted on ghost with some poorly written custom theme that loads a ton of CSS for some reason. The VPS I host it from wouldn’t have dealt with the traffic - it served over 50 gigs within a week; and that’s over my VPS’s monthly cap iirc.

I have the whole site behind Cloudflare’s free plan and it handled the load flawlessly. And cloudflare also makes the webpage load faster for everyone. It seems like a no brainer to me.

Most places where I've worked only had 1-2 security people that weren't entry level. The majority of people doing cybersecurity work are just going to be looking at automated alerts and automated scan reports, then they pass things up to the senior person to make sure it gets investigated and fixed.
blaming the game's owner for allowing the game to be gamed.
It's the same at Amazon Canada. If you want name brands, particularly for electronics, you have to go elsewhere. The Amazon selection is straight out of Wish or Aliexpress or DealExtreme (does that site still exist?)
One of the interesting points about SCION is that it achieves today's required forwarding performance on commodity hardware. No more expensive and inefficient TCAMs, no more limits to scalability. This, among other features of SCION, provides an economic incentive for ISPs and organizations to switch to SCION eventually.
I can buy a game from a store as well. Or a friend. And sell my games as well. I can choose which console I buy to consume these games on. It's a game-centric system.

Sure, the path consoles are heading down will look like the current Apple situation very soon. And I think the same criticisms apply then, too.

Distri: Linux distribution to research fast package management
Hi! And thanks a lot for the nice comments! :)

To be honest I borrowed the idea of publishing via email from Hey World. That platform is too minimal but it's nice that you can post also by sending an email, so I implemented this feature in DynaBlogger right away because I think people might like it :)
The way it works is very simple. Each blog gets a unique email address, you or another user with access to the blog sends an email to that address and the post is published immediately. Images and code blocks are supported. The format is expected to be Markdown, so it's best to send the email as plain text to avoid complications depending on the email client.
For now the editor in the app is Rich Text only but I am planning to add Markdown there too if I see it requested. :)

Thanks again for the nice feedback!
I’ve haven’t met any "feature" on desktop Chrome I wish existed on Safari on iOS but don’t and I browse the web few hours a day from mobile. If anything, web browsers are bloated enough already and should remove features or fix the existing ones before adding news things.
> Ravikant was born in New Delhi, India in 1974. He moved to New York with his mother and his brother, Kamal, when he was 9. He graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1991.[6]

He didn’t grow up poor in India. He went to Stuyvesant in NYC - one of the most prestigious high schools in the world.

In another article:

> His father was a pharmacist in India, but his pharmacist credentials were not acceptable to practice pharmacy in the United States. Both of Ravikants parents did clerical work in New York City after their move to New York City. Shortly after moving to New York City, Ravikant's parents split up, leaving his mother responsible for raising him and his brother for the majority of their childhoods.

They weren’t poor. Never were poor. I don’t know if maybe a pharmacist in India is a worthless job that is comparable to a subsistence farmer but in the US, it pays pretty well.

We all have different versions of poor but I think subsistence farmer when I hear poor - not the version I’ve heard from many people in India where if you clean your own house, you must be poor.
Under the hood, I think that bitcoins, etc., are just blobs of text that can be saved in regular files. Probably ascii-armored, like a PGP key, correct ?

So I think that an "unhosted wallet" just refers to a blob of text in a regular file ... which is exactly how I would store bitcoins if I had any.

In the United States, this is a clear-cut free speech / First Amendment issue. In the United States I can write, or say, any number I choose to.

There's a lot of hand waving reference to magic technology when discussing things like key escrow or "encryption" or "unhosted wallets". In the end, they are protected speech and cannot be limited under any interpretation of the First Amendment.

Apple's fight against right to repair while pushing materials to the public that state they are trying to reduce their carbon footprint is the absolute peak of hypocrisy. I understand the closed off design of their products is a result of the Steve Jobs era, but why can't the current leadership make a change?

Why can't Apple make their products easily repairable while making them aesthetically pleasing? The typical "private companies must satisfy the shareholders" answer is just a scapegoat. Truly innovative companies (and companies of Apple's size and worth) should be able to solve these problems. Doing anything else is just fucking laziness.
>It always amuses me to find that people are against GMO foods yet almost everything we eat is GMO depending on how you define it.

What I find problematic about many "anti-progress" stances is the (very false) mythos around a return to a purer past when we didn't do things in such supposedly "corrupt" ways. That stance is certainly prevalent in much of the anti-GMO following but I would hesitate to tar over it all with the same brush.

The second falsity is that the primary concern with GMO is individual human health.

Much of the more informed anti-GMO stances consist of the following two views:

1. The view that the past practices you mention in your comment were damaging to ecosystems and while the horse has bolted with many of the products of those packages (and reaping the fruits of those now is not too problematic) the negative impacts of those practices can be learned from to avoid future damage.

2. That it's a nuanced topic fundamentally about making informed decisions about the lifecycle impact of GMO based on current scientific knowledge rather than a blanket dogmatic opposition to the concept as a whole.

The second point in particular is absolutely not taken into consideration in current GMO practices: widespread corruption and disregard for impact analyses is well documented.
I suspect this was downvoted because.... money.

Nope, you can't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number

Edit: About an unhosted wallet being a clear case of freedom of speech because it can be encoded as text; even if it was, what are you expressing? The intent to evade cryptotaxes?
Yep...this was known all along by anyone who has ever used Amazon. Now we need to deal with places like Slickdeals which now pushes crap to front page by their partners and bans competitors. This is another way to drive reviews. Though they are legitimate purchases, if you get a crappy product at 50% off you'll likely to leave a better review than a crappy a full price.

I've had three 12" Macbook main boards, two screens, and two keyboards replaced free under Australian Consumer Law because of broken components. Connectors that should have been replaceable onsite in seconds instead requiring depot maintenance and hundreds of dollars in couriers and staff interactions. 10c LVDS cables soldered on instead of replaceable, unrepairable even to Apple, have sent two high quality display panels straight to landfill.

Not a great way to run a business.
How so? Not sure if you said that partly tongue in cheek, but deadlines for me usually seem to help me make realistic choices in order to get something done on a time budget. No doubt they can sometimes compromise lofty goals, and/or can be frustrating or less fun than having open-ended time, but there’s enough to be said about deadlines I don’t think I’d personally ever summarize them with a single word counterproductive.

In this context, the deadline section is referring to being ready for a demo party, possibly as a compo entry, which happens on a specific date, so what would even be an alternative to having a deadline? The writing wasn’t urging the reader to choose whether to use deadlines, it was saying pay attention to the fact that your demo showdown is coming up on a day picked by someone else, so plan accordingly. Right?
Doesn't change my point: Wayland is not some truth revealed that had been bestowed upon the developers who then seen the truth and went away from X. The set of people working on Xorg and Wayland was overlapping so much, that work on Wayland stole (took away, diverted, see thesaurus if my choice of words grates on you) cognitive resources needed to maintain Xorg.

And then they just stated a fact "oh, see, no one wants to maintain Xorg" as if they didn't know. This atmosphere of faux surprise is what I didn't like at the time. Also the unwillingness to publish a step-by-step guide of "how to make a release" with simultaneous unwillingness to make releases. I bet if there appeared an actor actually willing to take up maintainership of Xorg, that actor would be actively smeared, gatekept and bottlenecked to death by the current Xorg gatekeepers because Xorg dying and their crippled darling taking over is their dream.
