Younger folks do not deliver the same quality, and go on unproductive goose/chases a lot more often. It takes years to develop the detail-oriented skills of quality software delivery. I know because I was one of them.

Would you say a new culinary grad delivered the same quality pizza as Jeff Varasano, who’s been honing a craft for multiple decades?

Now if you’re in a field that doesn’t require high quality, then cheaper makes sense. Let the market decide. Unfortunately it is inefficient due to biases. Oldies know their cv has a good chance of hitting the bin without a further look, if they have the grey hairs of experience.
Yes, true, you'll need a bunch of intermediary stage amps as well, you won't drive 100W without something in the middle. Typically a set of usable stages would be an SDR, a very sharp bandpass filter, a 1W or so buffer, then something on the order of 5 to 10W and then into real power stages 50-100 or so and if you want to go substantially higher than that you'll need yet another stage. And each of those will need to be perfectly regulated to avoid dumping a bunch of harmonics into the air.

"The ui bits" is an understatement, because UI & builtin apps is actually where the meat is, and they know it. The kernel, Qt, the standard desktop stuff, etc. they are _forced_ to open, unless they want to violate the GPL. But whenever there is anything they're not forced to open, and someone else could potentially have an interest to actually see the source, then they keep it closed. It's actually less open than Android!

You can also have pure SDL apps on WINDOWS, out of all platforms, so what is the point? And sure, there is also value in that, but "privacy" value?
But do cities without rent control in general see sufficient supply in apartments? Somehow I start to believe that with or without rent control we see in many places a shortage in housing. So if the prices are not to blame, what is the real reason?

This presumes piracy is bad. Which I'd say is mostly true, but I'd go so far as to suggest that, e.g. Spotify is worse.

Essentially, they both mean that creators don't meaningfully get paid, only that Spotify appears legitimate due to the breadcrumbs and "exposure" they do give out.

E.g. Bandcamp is better than piracy, but I'd argue piracy is better than Spotify.
You could enter app.three.controls.autoRotate=false in the console in the DevTools (F12).
The title for this feels really broad.

Cloud providers offer so many products with so many nuances that I'd posit it's practically impossible to do a satisfying pricing comparison that's even halfway comprehensive. That's not the fault of the author, certainly, but the title makes it come off as something far more comprehensive than it actually is, and as a result comes across as disingenuous.
Ignoring the fact that Android puts its buttons in basically arbitrary places, the fact is that it's just not a very useful platform for more complex tasks. It can do less, so there's not much to master. Windows and Linux can do more, so there is more to master because they allow more complicated interactions between things inside the computer. In other words, listing an OS on your resume means that you are sort-of competent enough to pull off such tasks at all.
Those jobs can be remote, and it is cheaper to encourage employers economically to support remote work than to reshape entire geographies with housing.

I think this may be Is vs. Ought.

Realistically and politically, people will not bear any significant sacrifice to solve CO2 emissions. They just won't. They won't do it.

You can say that they ought to as much as you please. You can say that they need to. But they still won't. You aren't going to scold them into being different. You aren't going to lecture them into being different. And you aren't going to use politics to force them to be different, because they vote, and all the politicians know they vote.

For us to get anywhere on CO2, the non-CO2 path has to be better and/or less expensive. That's it. In the real world, with the humans that we have, anything else isn't going to get any traction.
Unless it makes more than 15B for Apple in terms of being able to do something with their own search (advertising?), it is a loss.

Google is paying for Apple to not have the default be Google search. If Google wasn't paying, Apple would be able to offer the default search provider to someone else or make it a user selectable choice in the new phone setup.

Google is paying to keep Apple from thinking about their own provider or shifting the default to Bing.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/297137/mobile-share-of-u...

Organic search from a mobile device is 60% of all Google searches. If we take the 50/50 breakdown for iOS vs Android and apply it there, 1/3rd of all google searches are from iOS.

That's what Google is paying for - making sure that people who don't care about their search provider continue to make up 1/3 of all of their searches (and data gathering).

The next thing to consider back on that "what would the expense gain" ... does Apple have the resources to spin up a 1/3 google data center. I mean, yea they do... but that's expensive and if they aren't selling adds, it is purely an expense.
> If you can’t sell software you have to monetize in other ways.

If you can't sell software and have to monetize it somehow, sure you can steal user data.
But you can also steal user data even if you sell the software, as has been demonstrated many times.

Only authors who have no intend to monetize the software could really be trusted.
How would you then call running a db on an EC2 instance or in a container as opposed to using a managed service like RDS?
I generally agree. Finding numbers to measure quality almost never helps composers or cooks, but it almost always helps organizations. Why? Quality oddly lends itself to quantification. Rotten Tomatoes and Amazon stars don't always work, but i find they work shockingly well. I'm not going to naively defend the benefits of quality measurement, but i do advocate for the importance of continuously improving quality measurement systems. And key to this, imo, is making sure we take the effort to measure the values we actually want to enhance.

> It would be great if you could install Qt 5.9, 5.12, 1.14 in parallel and have apps use the latest version (except for that one app that triggers a bug where you fix it to 5.9).

The underlying library-loading system on Linux handles this just fine, and has for decades (look up "soname" for details).

The problem is that system package managers want to load "just the latest" & maintainers have to take extra steps to enable loading of multiple versions.

Obviously not true. People have known about climate change for many decades. Every countries media discusses it regularly. Scientists have published countless thousands of open papers about it. You act like we just found out about global warming last week
> Like tobacco companies, oil companies have actively lied and lobbied to maintain demand and obstruct coordinated effort of exactly the kind you describe as necessary. They are not passive actors simply responding to demand as they find it.

These really aren't very similar. Big Tobacco's lies were the only thing propping up the tobacco industry. As soon as the truth became clear, their industry was absolutely crushed. The truth about climate change has been clear for decades, but unlike the situation with tobacco, the demand for Oil & Gas keeps on growing[0]. This is because, unlike tobacco, Oil & Gas is absolutely indispensable--especially for developing countries.

Lying about climate change was a terrible thing, and it cost us precious time. But we still need them to keep the lights on, and pretending that the act of producing Oil & Gas today--when it is literally a hard requirement to keep the lights on around the world-- is somehow pernicious, is just silliness. The world is stressful enough without all the outrage theatre.

I don't think it works that way. I know a few people who are very financially conservative, and I am as well. None of them have responded to interest rates of 0% by consuming more. Everyone has shifted their accepted risk a little bit, but that's about it, they're still putting aside money.

On the other hand, the people I know that are spending every available coin for vacation and consumption already did so 20 years ago.

Multi-account support is extremely important. Professors at my university have started hosting accounts on Discord, and people have been unable to make second accounts without second phone numbers.

I was about to comment this. He says he went public to raise awareness about allegedly being illegally detained in a "fake mental hospital". Obviously anything is possible, but that sounds a lot like he could've been legally detained and doesn't really understand the law i.e. he could've been a danger to himself or others.

His other bombastic comments to press and relatives also make him sound insecure and immature. Obviously he had to be somewhat adept and dedicated to gain access, but he didn't discover any incredible exploit here. He also takes credit for discovering a well known zero-day but admits he had nothing to do with the code for the exploit. To me that supports the idea that he hangs out in black hat circles because he wants to be one of the 'cool kids', put in the time and got lucky. I imagine the press love that because a lot of the public doesn't really know the difference.

Using an SDR for this kind of product would be horribly cost and time inefficient. You would design it with off the shelf WLAN and LoRa ICs.

> You cannot stop a determined hacker.

Maybe not, but you can reduce the list of potential attackers from relatively average Joes to more experienced, specialised and well funded actors (such as the NSA - who would probably just issue a warrant anyway) with better security practises. It isn't ideal - someone might still access your data without your consent - but it is realistic and achievable.

> The problem is that there are great incentives and not enough deterrents.

Again, true, but that doesn't mean that the public should just live with this. It's not unreasonable to ask a company to take the security of their customers seriously and take steps to ensure that their data is secure from an attacker. There are other things that can be done: harsher penalties for companies who don't take issues like this seriously, setting out (and enforcing!) standards for security, incentivising security research, and so on. Are these suggestions achievable? Probably. Are they going to be achieved? Probably not. Are there a better ideas for solving this problem? Definitely, but I'm not smart enough to think of them. But just giving up and labelling this as an "education problem" is defeatist and doesn't help.
The NAS route is a solid one. There are a lot of fantastic tools out there these days for managing media collections.
I haven't listened in awhile because Spotify is such a terrible place for podcasts but, when I did, for about a month or two after he moved to Spotify, it seemed like all he was talking about were UFO's, other conspiracy theories, and how much he hated the COVID measures.

Frankly, I don't care that he talks about those things--some I agree with him on, some I don't--but, in the past he did a good job of balancing those things out with guests who offered a different perspective. After he made the Spotify deal, it seemed like he went all in on his beliefs and didn't seem interested in exposing himself or his audience to opposing views anymore.
Shouldn't this be illegal? Google already has a huge market share yet they using profits to keep /expand market share.
Yes, but the same applies to your WiFi router even if it has hardware filters. Its simply a certification requirement.

That doesn't have anything to do with LimeSDR. This is already not a product that is certified for anything. It exists in a very gray zone where anyone using it for transmission is likely in violation of the law unless they obtained a development/testing license in the specific band they are using.

Rent control doesn't apply to the price of new housing, at least for any the many many versions of rent control I've seen. Rent control only limits the increases on existing housing.

The new building can charge whatever they want, they just can't depend on large increases in rent later on after their initial pricing. This same assumption, no huge rise in rents later, is also applied by financiers.
> Apple’s decision to condition scanning on a toggle switch is a policy decision and not a technical restriction as it was in the past with server-side scanning.

This is not a meaningful distinction. There are many security and privacy protections of iOS that are equivalently "policy" decisions: letting iCloud Backups be turned off; not sending a copy of your device passcode to Apple servers; not MITMing iMessage which has no key transparency; not using existing Photos intelligence to detect terrorist content etc. In technical terms, there are many paths to full device scanning, and some of those paths were well trodden even a month ago (iCloud Backup and Spotlight, for starters, and Photos Intelligence as a direct comparison).

Making this claim also requires showing that the likelihood of Apple making one of many undesirable policy decisions has changed.

> Regarding which content governments want Apple to scan for, we already have some idea of that.

I asked about what Apple will scan for, not what governments want them to scan for. Again, I see a pattern in your argument where you state what government wants and then don't state how that desideratum translates into what Apple builds. The latter is entirely the source of ambiguity for me.

> Apple’s deployment responds to that request in a way that their existing detection systems (and industry standard systems) did not.

I could see that. If that's what Apple had built, would you have a different take on the system? It seems like no -- most of the risks you care about are unchanged since you are operating in a world of "policy decision" equivalence classes.

> I’m not sure how to respond to your requests for certainty and proof around future actions that might be taken by a secretive company.

You seem to misunderstand what I said. I'm asking for an estimate of your certainty, not absolute certainty. Furthermore, I'm asking you to provide examples of what information would change your mind for the same reason you keep repeatedly calling me stubborn and accusing me of bad faith: without it, I have no idea whether we are engaged in discussion or a shouting match.
