I listened to your MP3, and thanks for sharing it. I think Woz's point is more what the App Store enabled, not the fact that it was a walled garden. The rules Apple put in the App Store is what made it feasible for them to exist at all, and then you can create any app you want for the hardware. I think that based on his extension over where the first Tesla Superchargers were - write apps for this hardware that make your life better because they're important to you.

For what it's worth, when I think about the openness of the first computers I had, and how many crappy search bars and garbage things snuck past my unsuspecting parents while they used the computer, I'm surprisingly fine with the App Store, too. I don't have to worry about them installing garbage because it's gated by Apple. This is what made it "life changing" by Woz's words, and I agree with him.

My point is that in 2021 merely mentioning the name of Ivermectin is enough to set the political censors in motion. Try to post this same piece on Twitter or Facebook. I'm curious if they'd leave it up. A few weeks ago I'm certain it would have been flagged and removed by a know-nothing "fact-checker". Today, the narrative is maybe beginning to shift enough to allow unrelated historical mentions touting the potential of this drug. Still not something you're allowed to argue about in respect to Covid19 therapies. I suspect this is because of the pushback of clinician testimony against the Church of Scientism, and the appearance of a sanctioned RCT study out of Oxford is enough to confuse the censors in their arguments from authority: "The completely authoritative NIH or WHO or CDC sources say X, so that's just facts. But wait, the WHO actually says Y, but they're not technically a US political agency, so we'll go with X. But Oxford is a pretty big deal in Big Academia, and Big Academia is always right because Science, so now we're not sure what to do. Well, maybe we'll hold off on this for now until we get some marching orders from our the Public/Private partnership that controls the discourse."

NH isn't important enough to have a direct partnership with government agencies so it's interesting to send up these trial balloons and see what happens. Does the discourse imperative flow downstream from the major media monopolies? Or upstream from the self-appointed Citizen Censors flagging anything that doesn't agree with the official narrative?
> > charging for products are a clear win-lose situation for customers

> That is not true. I pay money, I get a product I want. That is a win-win situation.

I get a product which spies on me and I cannot turn it off (android, win 10). Win for them, loose for me.

> I see TV and the TV channel shows ads is a win-win situation.

I paid for this channel - so win for them , loose for me.

> I see YouTube and YouTube records who I am, where I live, my age, my relationship status, my political views.... to watch TV for free seems a very bad exchange.

> I am not against the advertisement industry, but in its current form in conjunction with tech companies it is damaging society in very real, very harmful ways.

Yes. And they also pay politicians and lobbyists.
your phone is the exception, not the norm. Apple are well known for choosing hardware that delivers a great user experience. Their choices may not cater to your specific requirements but their sales figures strongly indicate that the majority of people disagree with you.

If you want to see how much value there is in Apple's phones, look at the used phone market. The competition isn't even close and iphones hold their value much better than the vast majority of android phones.

“Having to update some configurations” is an interesting way to put it. The same could be said for DST and timezones in general.

I guess the nuance I was trying to convey here is that it would be incredibly disruptive to the current rituals of working. Starting at the high level 20% less production, less salary, then to the annoying concepts like calendaring meetings and travel. Then to the myopic things like stupid excel formulas.

But to your point, would I let an excel formula stop a cultural change.. obviously no and thanks for nudging me to clarify that. Change is good, healthy and expected. Questioning the status quo is always needed.

I just don’t like this one, I think it’s politically motivated to further get people to be more dependent on the biz institutions/gov and further contributes to a looming debt crisis. It’s like voting for class president because they will put in a soda fountain and free candy.

I think this plays out incredibly different for different classes of workers and occupations. And for those that need the hours I don’t see how this ends well. At the time based consulting level, this also includes me.

Lastly it’s odd to me for so many people that we want to work less but expect to consume the same or more. We expect stores to be open 7 days a week with longer hours of availability, we expect same day shipping on unlimited products yet we don’t want to work 5 days. I just have a tough time seeing how all boats rise. Part of this seems to also be that some people can afford to work just 4 days but need society to say “it’s okay” for them to do it. Aka 4 day work weeks aren’t just for the 1%.

Am I game for trying it? Sure, if it pushes humanity forward in our collective and individual endeavors, let’s give it a go.
>I hear they generally are "freely" available, just email the authors and ask.

I didn't downvote you but the way contracts work, the researchers are not allowed to share the final published article that was professionally edited and typeset by the journal. What they can legally share are the preprints and manuscripts.[1]

Yes, some researchers may ignore the contract they signed (wink wink) and share the final published pdf. IME whenever I asked for a paper, I got the preprint -- which means the author honored their publishing contract. The preprint is fine in most cases because it will have the main idea of the research. However, it's often missing the pretty graphs and illustrations that the journal adds.

[1] https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/sharing
As a mature, skilled engineer, you wouldn’t mind sharing your knowledge—but you’d really prefer to do this on your own terms.

First, you might choose to distribute your code under a copyleft license to advance the OSS ecosystem. Second, the older you get, the more experience you accumulate, paradoxically the harder it is for you to find a job or advance your career in this industry—so, to maintain at least some source of motivation for tech companies to hire you, you may choose to make some of the source available, but reserve all the rights to it.

You’re fine making the source of your tool or library open for anyone to pass through the lens of their own consciousness and learn from it, but not to use as is for own benefit.

Now with GitHub Copilot suddenly you see the results of your labour you’ve previously made (under the above assumptions) public being passed through some black box, magically stripped from your license’s protections, and used to provide ready-made solutions to everyone from kids cheating at college tests to well-paid senior engineers simply lacking your expertise.

I hope it’s easy to spot how engineer’s interests in the above example are not necessarily aligned with GitHub’s, how this may be perceived as an unfair move disadvantaging veteran rank-and-file software engineers while benefitting corporate elites and investors, and subsequently has the potential to disincentivize source code sharing and deal a blow to OSS ecosystem as a whole.

Why? Richard Stallman wasn't attacked for doing the right thing.

The first time you're thinking of, he was attacked over a misunderstanding when he wrote about a controversial topic, and people's general resentment of him bubbled over and made it a big thing. The second (more recent) one, he was attacked over unresigning, and because he pushed a lot of people away from Free Software.

Alexandra Elbakyan has, to my knowledge, not really pushed people away from open access science. She hasn't gone to conferences and made pejorative “jokes” about men, or deathists, or eaten her toe jam on stage. Why would people attack her?

Yeah, the phrase Developer Advocacy is still being used, and I think most 'big' libraries and tools have it - it's a form of marketing. Ideally they manage to astroturf themselves into becoming popular, so that the people work with the tools become advocates themselves.

I mean it works, to a point, as a sales / marketing tactic.
You lost me at Samsung/Apple/Jeep/Nintendo. I’d definitely put Apple in the top tier of phone and laptop quality. Especially w.r.t laptops, the majority of Windows devices seem comparatively low quality. I’m not sure about their other products but I also don’t see them advertised as much.

Similarly with Nintendo, they seem to deliver consistently higher quality than competitors. They may not be as fast but they last for years and deliver equal or more enjoyment at a lower price point.

A product is more than it’s specs.

Leading journals allow publishing preprints on arXiv only as there was considerable pressure. In the quantum physics community (where it was expected to post results on arXiv), a journal not allowing arXiv was not considered. So either their de facto allowed, or even started officially to do so.

Reminds me of something.

I used to work with a senior guy who went freelance and then bunched together with several other freelancers, also seniors, to form... "an operation". The MO was that one of them would go and interview for a permanent job, impress the heck out of everyone and then say "there's more like me, be happy to help you out, but on a contract basis and as a group." They were basically bait-n-switching them to outsource parts of their development and in some cases it worked, because their fees were very reasonable. And the fees were reasonable because they did very little of the actual work themselves and instead re-outsourced it to some Ukranain dudes.

Looked fishy as fuck and I'm not sure how it ended because I felt out of touch with the guy.

Being attacked leads to paranoid-like behavior. Your Bayesian filters go all wonky when you know they're actually out to get you.

It pollutes everything in your life; you need to be suspicious of everyone and everything.

The other thing about a constant series of attacks -- without support to field them -- is that you DO misidentify things, and sometimes respond imperfectly. There are 24 hours in a day. Sometimes you'll miss something, and other times, you'll overreact, or just react inappropriately.

I haven't been in the same position as Elbakyan, but I've been in a sufficiently analogous one that I don't see what she's doing as anything other than human.

Treatment has progressed slowly because it turns out that it is extremely hard to find drugs that kill cancer cells and not regular cells, given that they are almost identical. It's not some big conspiracy, there is an incredible amount of money being spent on trying to find and develop these drugs.

I'm sure there are some instances where drugs to treat very rare cancers were not entered into trials because the company didn't think it was profitable - the book actually lays out one of the examples of this. But that isn't really relevant to the overall fight against cancer. The reality is that we have limited resources to develop and test new drugs, and how profitable a new cancer drug will be is a somewhat reasonable proxy for how important it is to develop.
> An example is lithium, which uses solvents and chemicals that are toxic during the mining and manufacturing process

Looking over environment aspects of production below, all the recent studies disprove what was assumed so far and your comment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_aspects_of_the_e...

One such: "A 2020 study from Eindhoven University of Technology mentioned that the manufacturing emissions of batteries of new electric cars are much smaller than what was assumed in the IVL study (around 75 kg CO2/kwh) and that the lifespan of lithium batteries is also much longer than previously thought (at least 12 years with a mileage of 15000 km annually). As such, they are more ecological than gasoline-powered internal combustion cars.[58] [59] "

This doesn't even take in account recycling.

As for harmful chemicals during mining and manufacturing - it's the same for any other mining operation like gold and so on, states put in place laws that you cannot use harmful chemicals and other solutions are found. (cyanide in gold mining comes to mind)

Hrr Hrr. I have a theory regarding a mysterious anomaly,

wherein mostly older people crash their cars into the windows of shops in a small shopping street.

Like nowhere else.

Thing is, this is exactly in the glide path of them on landing approach to Hamburg-Finkenwerder,

where they are already 300 to 200meters down, maybe even just 150.

There is nothing special to the street, just some small shops, banks, one-way, speed limited, some 'Metro-Station' nearby.

OTOH, I don't really get the 'scale' thing. Compare

I could see where you were coming from because Apple doesn't offer budget hardware and it's easy to mistakenly compare a $1000 laptop with a $500 laptop that doesn't have a video card.

But Nintendo is notorious for releasing low quality stuff with their IP skinned on it.

A product isn't more than it's quality metrics, if you believe so, I highly recommend taking a marketing class.
