My considered take on the McFlurry machines is that it's products are primarily a loss-leader for McDonalds. Folks are attracted by the low-priced dessert offerings from the McFlurry machines (which conveniently don't work), so somehow psychologically the attractor remains and is a factor in walking in decisions. Obviously these machines cannot be broken all the time everywhere in the world - but they are ! IMHO Johny Harris's take on the matter does not address the 'loss-leader' / Psychological reason that I put forward.
Yes, you described MMT about right.

Unfortunately, MMT is either a meaningless tautology that doesn't change anything about our understanding of the world. Or, it's wrong. Depending on what definition the MMT people use at any one point in time during a discussion.
SEEKING WORK | Remote or Chicago | Technical Product Management / Project Management

I have over 20 years of experience on many different levels of the tech stack, including extensive management experience.

I've lead teams for Citibank, Wall Steet Journal, Hawaiian Airlines.
I've worked with many emerging technologies such as VR, AI, self-driving cars, 3d talking avatars.
I've worked on AI/ML, self-driving cars, 3d animated agents with voice recognition,

But one of the most rewarding projects was that I architected and developed a novel interface for healthcare workers to detect and classify areas of concern, powered by AI, specifically for breast cancer but adaptable to many applications.

Google vs Oracle answered a very different question. In that case, it was ultimately determined that Google could mimic an API in their own code, when building their own independent work-alike system.

Whereas in the case of iOS applications, developers are agreeing to the Apple developer agreement and then directly embedding and/or linking to Apple intellectual property when compiling their binaries.

As for the analogy I made to the GPL, this was only to demonstrate that the open source community also leverages the enforceability of license agreements to require developers who use GPL code in a certain way to comply with community expectations. It's the same legal principle, even though it's used to very different effect.
It's difficult to pin down 'best' because it's so subjective; my 'method' was the best for my transcript but not for my sanity.

> but that doesn’t happen

Doesn't happen yet. Entire industries are trying to bypass basic property law so you "own" your purchases in name only and the manufacturer has control de facto. The video game industry has been saying "buy or product" when they really mean "subscribe to our service"[1] for a long time. Bricking old multiplayer gamed had been common practice for years, and now some singleplayer games have been unnecessarily bricked when the publisher e.g. shut down the DRM server.

Companies like John Deere have been extending this strategy into their hardware for a while. The damage doesn't even have to be "bricking your device"; HN regularly features stories about forced updates that remove paid-for features.

> Have Apple pull something like this and you’ll see on the NYT.

Apple got close when their devices suddenly stopped running 3rd party software in the recent "OCSP Apocalypse".

Yeah, this precise sense is precisely wrong. There are plenty of things computers can't do (and will never be able to do), including (probably) be conscious (see Searle), but maybe even more difficult to swallow, generally compute entropy[1], or compute the spectral gap[2].

There seems to be more and more articles and videos by Noam Chomsky and such about how so much of Silicon Valley was subsidized by the government. Not good or bad, but true.

This is fundamentally confused. If there were no scarcity of any kind other than attention, it wouldn't matter what we paid attention to. In reality, there are many things that remain scarce, and this is precisely why directing our attention and effort matters. Same as it's always been, really.

The mindset that the modern world is all about competing for scarce attention is what you get when you've been breathing the indoor air in the adtech or other promotional industry for too long. Some people don't have food, others don't have access to education, and most don't have access to the best of the things they need or want.

That's how authors of the past compressed and encrypted important knowledge. This is why we've ended up with pearls like "everything is water" and unless you know what "everything" and "water" mean at this level of compression, this is just a funny allegory.

Another trick is inventing symbols to compress common concepts, much like the gzip algorithm. Your notes become an Egyptian papyrus to an outsider, but to you they contain all the info without omissions.

FWIW i just went through the exact same thing with my surface. "it's time to update" > "you're in an unescapable blue screen boot loop"
I don't think that's the case, unless you go back many decades.

Purdue was in part so effective because they spent millions 'educating' (and bribing) doctors and making up a '5th vital sign' in order to push huge quantities of drugs. This was on purpose. Those face in pain posters you see still originally came from Purdue.

This always comes up in these threads, that perhaps we've swung too far in the direction of limiting access to pain meds for legit patients.

Which definitely has merit.

But that doesn't take away from what Sacklers and Kappor et al did.

from my understanding long term prescription of opiates in modern medicine wasn't really a thing before Purdue's marketing (and still isn't outside of late stage cancer in most countries).

So that's what I was getting at in responding to 'other opiates having been stigmatized in previous moral panics,' I think you'd have to go back to prohibition to find a similar time of heavy long term use 'medically'
Yeah, here the main person affected it's the restaurant owner that rents the McD franchise. They are affected with downtime in one of their products, and can only hire 1 company to do the repairs, the one authorized by McD.

It actually doesnt matter if its legal or not for them to be doing this. Whats important is for customers be fully aware of whats going on and to make a choice (purchase or not). The opinion of customers will undoubtably shape that companies future decisions.

I never said this was unique to Americans.
Exactly. Even as a New Yorker , I can’t get my ID without an accompany physical document proving who I am. The only document I have that is my Birth Certificate and I’m lucky enough that my parents still had it. If they didn’t I would have to wait 1-2 months to get it. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that an appointment for the DMV is 2 months out as well, so even if I didn’t have the birth certificate there would be waiting either way.

Voter ID laws should never be thing unless people willing to accept a national database and they’re free and given to everybody and can be given in a speedy matter with little to no obstructions.

The context of this discussion is government commissions putting pressure on Apple to revise their policies "or else".

Developer agreements and rules being unlawful or not doesn't seem to me to be a relevant framing here. One of the party can basically change the law if it goes against common sense or society's wellbeing.
It's very easy to write a post trashing someone else. Very, very easy. Much of that trashing may or may not be deserved, we don't know because we only have one party's account of it. What we do know, however, is the behavior of one party - the author. And the whole posts reeks of a failure to take personal accountability, minor add-on sentences here and there notwithstanding.
It sounds like you are being unfair to yourself, perhaps brutally so. Would you consider others of your social class and status abject failures?
This was a great read but at the end of it all it's not a lesson anyone can learn from. It reads as a vent session with an underlying point of "check co-founder references". Would love to see a rebuttal from the other co-founder.

Well, some data would be advisable. Is it a loss leader? Is their ice cream priced lower than wendy's, burger king, in-n-out or similar? To the best of my knowledge, none of those places have this problem.
Totally agree with you.
Nesting selectors increase coupling with DOM.
I did this a lot and I was not productive. At first seems to reduce code, but them, every change in the template I needed to change in the CSS.

What helped was to start building utility classes which I can reuse them.

As the other guy said, nesting selectors has few good usages, should be used carefully.

In here he reminds us about how people are improperly conflating the "right" and the "means" to collect a revenue share.

Git has all sorts of options for using proxies, but running socat would be the quick and dirty way to do this, something like:

That's an awesome chase. Of course it's one of the top chase scenes with the orig. Gone in 60 S. What I like a bout Bullit is it documents some of the city from the 60s. The freeways were new, the embarcadero freeway monstrosity is up and the chase skips from Bernal to The Marina and back to the San Bruno Mountains in minutes! It's also kind of realistic. The peelouts and tire burnouts are realistic even the explosion at the end are not too over the top. Today's chases are like Star Wars pyrotechnics, little of it remotely believable.
