> We’re so poisoned by these chemicals it’s impossible to run a study to figure out if one possible source of them specifically is measurably poisoning us.

Sort of. My point is that teflon cookware is not a plausible source of PFAS, because there is no detectable PFAS in finished cookware. Further, because there have been billions of pieces of nonstick cookware in use around the world for decades, if there were negative health effects we would probably notice them by now. But there aren't.

Contrast this to the lead that has been widely used in glass and ceramic cookware and dishes over the same period of time. Manufacturers claimed that lead bearing glazes were perfectly safe. This is false, but we don't need any "studies" to tell us that. Rather we've plainly seen tangible health effects from the use of these items in many medical reports over the years, and we can easily test and verify the presence of lead that is leached into foods that are cooked and served in them.

This is not the case with teflon cookware. There is no detectable PFAS in nonstick cookware, nor are there verifiable reports of health effects from its use, in spite of the millions or billions of such uses happening every day over decades.

Which ones? The ones where I addressed the poorly substantiated risks of overheating?

> I try to avoid synthetic fabrics when I can, so in my case it’s not like your lifeguard scenario.

I guarantee you're not able to avoid PFAS-treated upholstery, carpeting, and other home furnishings. And depending on where you live, chances are good that you ingest significant amounts of PFAS in your drinking water. If you've ever eaten fast food, the wrapper it came in was probably coated in PFAS. Due to these and other sources, I guarantee you have measurable levels of PFAS in your blood and tissues.

So by all means, avoid nonstick cookware if you want. It won't hurt, and it may have value just because it makes you feel better. That's legit. But in terms of actual harm reduction it is very much like the theoretical lifeguard blacking out his windows.

Sure, it's complex, but the basic point still stands. Most people will probably be able to accurately identify 10-20 different colours, if we fix the luminosity etc and they are given cards with each colour.

When it comes to sound though, even many musicians won't be able to find even a single absolute note, even if we fix the timbre, intensity etc.

So colour and sound are definitely fundamentally different, which I don't find very surprising, there are few situations in the wild where it would help us to be able to distinguish absolute frequencies, timbre is more important.

I just tried it for the first time and immediately noticed a bug. 5 4 1 9 * works fine for signifying the first day in September, 5 4 30 9 * signifies the last day in September, 5 4 0 9 * fails because months never have a zeroth day, 5 4 32 9 * fails because months never have a 32nd day... but (here's the problem) 5 4 31 9 * is accepted as valid.

This is wrong because September never has 31 days. A little experimentation confirms that 31 is accepted as a valid input for all the months, while 32 is appropriately always rejected. This bug is easy to fix, as the correct length of months is easy to determine.

I think you're correct about existing users at large corporations. Converting all those into paid accounts is a no-brainer.

However, this will have a massive change on the competitive landscape. For companies that haven't yet adopted Docker, this is a huge red checkmark. This change is going to spur development on open source alternatives like nothing else could.
> So in terms of the framing of "market abuse", at what point between the launch of these rules and now did Apple cross that threshold between free-market competitor who can legally control their own platform to monopolist abusing its power?

I'd presume that would be when they became a monopoly, which may be seen as something that comes with new responsibilities. "With great [market] power, comes great responsibility" would probably make a lot of sense to a lot of people. We wouldn't hold tiny entrants to the same standards as those who can set prices, sue into dust or buy almost all of the competition.

A related concept in economics is the Laffer curve [1], which describes the tax rate that extracts the most money from the population. If you tax everyone 1%, you collect very little money, and if you tax everyone 99%, very few people will work at all.

Interestingly, the sweet spot seems to be in the mid-30s for the population in aggregate (which lines up with Apple's fees almost exactly), but is someplace around 70% for the highest earners. This implies you could jack up the top marginal tax rates to > 60%, and while most billionaires may grumble a bit, they will not ragequit from the economy.

We must be talking past each other. I have no idea what you're talking about. What do you mean by you can make a decision in isolation? How would you know that giving someone a dollar for 10 dollars tomorrow is a good investment unless you have other investments or investment opportunities to compare it to?

And even so, how would you construct a life such that you were naive to all investment opportunities until this single one arises? It doesn't make sense.

Since I can't edit the above comment, one additional thought is that your criticism is valid for a language like Python, which has a much higher tolerance for abstractions such as green threads being built into the language itself. It would've been interesting if Python had gone with a solution other than async/await.

I'm also a little confused when you say "Rust started with green threading/fibers". I think the term "fiber" is overloaded here, but Rust did start with green threads (M:N preemptive multitasking). Rust now has support for cooperative multitasking via async/await. From what I can find of UCMG, it kind of misuses the term fiber. Looks like it's just green threads that the kernel is aware of?

That math changes a lot in companies that don’t sell tech as their profits margin aren’t as fat. It also changes when you have 1000s of developers.
I think there’s a chicken and egg problem here, though: if all the apps/websites an average user uses aren’t designed to make “power users” possible, fewer people will have the opportunity cross the line from user to power user.

To add a little backstory, TigerBeetle's clock fault failure detector described here is only for the financial domain of the state machine, not for the correctness of the consensus protocol. This has to do with financial regulation around auditing in some jurisdictions and not with total order in a distributed systems context.

We simply need a mechanism to know when PTP or NTP is broken so we can shut down as an extra safety mechanism, that’s all. Detecting when the clock sync service is broken (specifically, an unaligned partition so that the hierarchical clock sync doesn’t work, but the TigerBeetle cluster is still up and running) is in no way required by TigerBeetle for strict serializability, it’s pure defense-in-depth for the financial domain to avoid running into bad financial timestamps.

We tried to make clear in the talk itself that leader leases are “dangerous, something we would never recommend”. And on the home page, right up front (because it’s important to us) we have: “No stale reads”.

We also want a fault-tolerant clock with upper and lower bounds for timing out financial two-phase commit payments that need to be rolled back if another bank’s payments system fails. We can’t lock people’s liquidity for years on end because of a clock fault that we could have detected otherwise.

You can imagine TigerBeetle’s state machine (not the consensus protocol itself) as processing two-phase payments that look alot like a credit card transaction that has a two-phase auth/accept flow, so you want the leader to timestamp roughly close enough to true time, so that the financial transaction either goes through or ultimately gets rolled back after roughly N seconds.

Hope that clarifies the post (and gets you excited about TigerBeetle’s safety)!

P.S. We’re launching a $20K consensus challenge in early September. All the early invite details are over here [1].

Will containers save your session when you close them and reopen them again later?
This. I consider pretty much everything Apple does a fair game except for one thing - access to private APIs for their own products, same products that then compete on the market with the products from developers invited with the expectation to build on the same platform. This single-handly invalidates the entire WWDC effort.

If you want to make sure you have best products then do it through superior product, design and engineering craftsmanship. Don't 'cheat'!

It just does not feel right and it is mind-boggling why is this the case. One thing is to have a say on what the app store fee is and 30% is fine, this is your cost of distribution that you accept. But the existence of private APIs means that whatever you do on their platform comes with a risk of them building a better, more-integrated product simply because they have access to platform features you don't.

This is an incredibly bad position to be in as a developer on Apple platform developing any kind of serious product, let alone a competitor for existing Apple products (like we are doing, crazy enough to be building a Safari alternative).

Apple, open same APIs your consumer apps have and make it a fair game. This will spark innovation, creativity and different ways of doing same things. It is exactly what you should be thriving for as a leader in the industry.

> I live in LA and, in my opinion, there are plenty of attractive people around.

It depends quite a bit on the neighborhood. You'll see more people on the Westside who are magazine material than say the Van Nuys. I still stand by my subjective experience that there has been an overall reduction in general attractiveness, but I'm totally open to counter-evidence. (yes, I mean men and women, and in ways that were at least once somewhat agreed upon)

> It’s objectively true that there are more obese people, however I don’t think it is helpful to focus on that fact.

Why? To discount that variable doesn't make sense to me. I used to be in the obese category and I've known other people who are or were. The way the public treats the obese and the skinny is like night and day. If the obesity rate continues to climb, that sure seems like something that would help the population. Beyond attractiveness, the obese are more at risk for having trouble conceiving.

The 68k has an excellent instruction set but imho it suffers from two things: a) It's big-endian. This is a bit of a religious thing, but in the end little-endian won out, and probably for good reasons. It's arguably easier to read a big-endian hexdump but harder for the processor itself to manage and harder for some bit twiddling. b) Separate "data" and "address" register sets. Awkward to program, and makes the instruction set more complicated.

Looking back, the similar but not nearly as successful NS320xx architecture was better. Atari apparently even prototyped it for use in what became the (68k based) Atari ST, but the first chips produced in that series were too buggy.

Both the 68k series and the NS32k series were heavily 'inspired' by the VAX.

One thing that makes the 68k cool is that it's about as "retro" of an architecture as you can get that still supports a modern C/C++ toolchain. GCC still (mostly) supports it.

"bass, baritone, tenor or soprano", that's only four categories, that's much less than 10. And I would guess that timbre will play in here as well, since the human voice is pretty restricted. A bass is not just a frequency shifted soprano.

Play a note and ask someone to reproduce it after ten seconds or so. How close would people come? Then show them a card with a certain pure colour and then ask them to reproduce that with a hue slider.
