How's the supply of beach-front houses doing, relative to the demand? If the cost of energy decreases, are we going to have more of them?

Some kinds of scarcity can be solved by cheap energy. Not all can. (I suppose that the kinds that are needs instead of wants are more likely to be solvable with cheap energy.)
At what point "Designed in California" becomes a lie, when all the hardware and manufacturing experts are in Asia?

>The extent to which Apple sells a locked down device

The closed nature is the only argument that carries water with me as far as being anti-competitive. Every business has to pay to have their product distributed, and the 30% just never sounded unfair to me.
Lawsuits are an ineffective way to improve your tech.
In Brazil the government has its own app, through which you can produce both your driver's license (it's a national license) and the registration for you vehicle when required. A QR Code is generated along with a fac-simile of the paper-version of the document.
In Plato's Republic, the ideal rulers were philosophers. However in Plato's era philosophy encompassed science and law, i.e. a philosopher was an educated person.
Hey there nirav, would you consider using a firmware that supports rndis? Ami's does.
Some of these are just bizarre in how effective they are.

I have never picked up the book or watched the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I probably couldn't have told you anything about them beyond what was included in the text description the AI got. Yet I instantly knew that was the movie.

I could even envision a few of these as art work for a special edition blu-ray or something.
Some brave engineering team has to design the clever spying techniques while chortling to themselves about the "screeching" public that just doesn't understand the need to monitor everyone.

Some turtlenecked business genius has to come up with money printing schemes. Like turning the world where we could repair and freely install into one where we could do neither. Or how to charge $200 for 8 GB of RAM and have their customers also not notice the missing cables and chargers.

The marketing department has their work cut out to paint removal of the 3.5mm jack as a religious experience and not a move to sell more expensive hardware. Or how holding the phone wrong is user error.

And it certainly takes a lot of courageous people to stop pay equity discussions amongst the low level employees.
Don't forget BO sued NASA after losing the GAO decision, so four recent incidents
> Apparently Netflix can afford to offer a wide variety of content for a small monthly fee, without any ads,

For now, the most they'll do is advertise their other services. But true external ads seem inevitable, especially in the face of the balkanization of digital video content. It's just a matter of when.
They aren't.

Should society be facilitating that for them by allowing the law to punish people for sharing their work? Copyright serves society, not the other way around.
So now we’ll be locked into using those companies’ payment systems, from which they make it next to impossible to unsubscribe?
This is the height of silliness. You don't want to use Apple products because they get their products assembled in China by Foxconn (a Taiwanese company). However, your solution is to buy "cheaper ARM stuff" such as Pine products, because you assume their factory conditions will be less dickensian despite also being manufactured in China.

You know about the bad conditions in the Foxconn factory because of the notoriety of the companies (Apple and Google) that get their products assembled there. However, it's likely that the conditions at Foxconn are better than those at the fly-by-night operators employed by Pine, which are subject to less scrutiny. Companies like Pine also have less ability (and incentive) to press for better conditions.

If you really wanted to use products with the least manufacturing footprint in China, you'd be looking at Samsung and Sony devices, but I guess they're not edgy enough for you.
Reserved Blank Face?
An exploit for a software security bug contains much more information, structure, and creativity than a 21 digit shared secret. If you're condemning the action of posting a simple number, then you must also condemn posting something more substantive with much wilder effects.

From the open society view that information wants to be copied, at this point the blame rests fully with the payment networks. Rather they just don't care, as they don't even pay for the sheer majority of fraud.
That is way too generous to Elon, whos more of a celebrity for nerds than a real boundary pusher. Nothing hes done has truly moved the needle on our capabilities. I respect that he had the vision + charisma to actually make electric vehicles popular but nothing he's created comes to the all conquering giant that Amazon is. Amazon has also changed the lives of basically everyone in the developed world, which definitely cannot be said of Tesla or any other Musk company. I don't really have any love for Bezos, but he definitely deserves more respect for his achievments than Elon
Also, note to BSD: you want enabling feature selection macros on the compiler command line, not your stupid disabling ones. -D_BSD_SOURCE does not mean hide all non-BSD stuff, including POSIX. -ansi means I want a certain language dialect, not that non-ANSI declarations are to disappear from headers.
I bought one and returned it. It's a laptop without a keyboard, not a tablet.

I spent the first day waiting for Windows Update and turning off telemetry and other annoyances. I spent the second day trying mamy apps that were significantly worse than Procreate. I returned it on the third day.

If you want Windows on a tablet, with all its issues and annoyances, you'll get exactly that. If you want an iPad experience with access to productivity tools, you won't get it.

I wanted an iPad for replacing a Moleskine and a laptop. The laptop replacement part was OK, but it was a very unpleasant drawing experience. Opening and editing files sucked all the fun out of it. Procreate on the iPad felt a lot closer to the real thing: flip through pages, select one, pick a tool, have fun.

I can't overstate how annoyed and angry this tablet was making me compared to my friend's iPad.
Perhaps the other companies don’t mandate usage of a single machine?
The rules I'm referring to are the ones that say "if this light goes red, abort the mission instead of potentially crashing into other people or killing everyone aboard".
Unique items. Real estate. Numbered artwork. Baseball cards. Antique cars. Transferable automatic weapons. Anything anyone ever bought because of who the previous owner was.
What a creep... People will often abuse any little power they have. You should have reported the guy, anonymously if possible.

As for the problem at hand, ideally we should be able to 'lock' the device on a certain screen or while using a certain app whenever we wanted. Notifications disabled as well.
I don't see how that answers either question. Being part of the FLOSS movement doesn't explain who is funding the costs of the service or why. It's unrelated. And it certainly doesn't tell me what you get with a "free account".
^ Absolutely not true.

I even got Linux running on an decade old 12in PowerBook G4.

There is even a browser made for PowerPC, although the name escapes me.
Is power consumption actually a concern for anyone on a desktop chip?

I know I personally care about idle power consumption when looking at PC parts, but I don't really care if peak power consumption is higher if I can compile faster or run games at higher FPS (not that many games are CPU bound).

(This particular configuration is just for fun/show - nobody does liquid nitrogen cooling to actually use the PC, just to compete on benchmark numbers)
The marginal cost of an addition paper is nil. The cost is in developing and maintaining the bespoke CRUD app that supports it. Could it be done more cheaply? Almost certainly! But it's a small and opaque market--not a lot of startups competing for the business, I'll bet.
Two important tenants of Stoicism include (1) the world can be understood through reason- this presages science and the enlightenment. And (2) live life moderately, between wealth and frugality.
I picked "The Terminator" for the Matrix one, which I thought was thematically close.

I'm pretty impressed and amused by this.
I have some experience with the philosophy of aesthetics from my stints as a slightly more active amateur photographer. I'm sure there's much I could still benefit from learning, though. Do you have a recommendation for a book?

A sibling comment to yours pointed out a critical flaw in using price as a measure: it gives different people very unequally sized votes.

Measuring instead in something like logarithmic uttiles would instead give all people a similarly-sized vote.

My problem with all measures of aesthetics that do not give everyone an equal vote (like your proposal for a committee of experts) is the fat selection bias inherent.

I can think of no way to produce that committee that doesn't involve self-reinforcing feedback loops that bias the committee toward a local optimum that doesn't actually reflect the standards of all of humanity.

But. Then again, maybe this is one of those situations Weisberg talks about where trying to find the "main effect", i.e. the aggregate opinion of all humans, is meaningless.

Maybe it's more interesting to find out what specific groups of people think, and then I'm sure a committee of such people works. But one has to be up-front about what is then measured.
Supreme Court, Breaking Silence, Won’t Block Texas Abortion Law
Yes! If you go out and get stabbed by a falling branch you've got no recourse.
Of course, the argument you seem to be advocating for hinges on showing how a copy represents material harm. The usual argument is it represents a lost sale. Still not sure how you get sent to jail over that though, maybe the argument itself doesn't have much weight but the people invoking it can push their weight around.
Ask HN: Kotlin For Back-end (not mobile)
As a back-end JS developer, is it advisable to learn Java before Kotlin or it does not matter ?

Also, what's your experience with that language for back-end and serverless development ?

What's the added value of Kotlin compared to say Go or Rust ?
It sounds like if these companies don’t offer an Apple subscription then plenty of people say they won’t use it and a competitor will have room to fill that gap.
Resting Bitch Face: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resting_bitch_face
Interesting take on the article.

Which part suggests that something hasn’t been designed in California?
I embarrassed myself recently by trying to get the performance of my AMD Zen 3 CPU beyond what precision boost overdrive and the default XMP profile of my memory were able to achieve. The single threaded performance never came close to it with the kind of old school static overclock + overvolt I was running with my previous Skylake Intel chip.

I did end up getting some promising results by using the curve optimizer feature of PBO which allows you to change the voltage/clock curve on a per-core basis but while it was stable at higher clocks, it did have some trouble while idling or performing some tasks that weren't running the CPU 100%. I had to admit that I was doing all of this more for the excitement of seeing high numbers and not for the actual practical benefits. Testing for stability with non-demanding tasks just wasn't exciting enough to justify continuing.

> a judge awarded a temporary restraining order against Taylor after Kytch had alleged in a complaint that the McFlurry machine manufacturer had gotten its hands on a Kytch Solution Devices with the express intention of learning its trade secrets.

This seems like a strong argument that the concept of trade secrets should be done away with.
Piracy is typically a service problem. You don't fix digital copying by sending people to jail, you do it by offering a compelling service.
I note you conveniently left out "reported" cases from your sentence. You are citing numbers reported by VAERS which is not at all the same as confirmed cases. Please don't fear-monger on HN.
SPARKS was a retail group, they released DVD rips and BluRay rips - so their releases didn't impact theatrical opening weekends.

You can check some stuff they pred here: https://www.srrdb.com/browse/SPARKS/order:date-asc/1

As you can see (sorted by oldest because surprisingly many things have sparks in their name), it's mainly retail rips.

In fact, few scene releases before COVID would actually impact theatrical openings, since the movies only get released weeks/months later on phyiscal media/streaming. The only thing you get before are crappy camrips/telesyncs.

They do however usually manage to acquire the media a few weeks before the street date, which is why streaming releases are now a few weeks before the physical media releases.
This contains absolutely no specifics about why GraphQL is better than a "regular" REST API. Not a single example; it's all just abstract cheerleading.

I'm charged with building a new API for a bunch of products, and have defined much of it in OpenAPI with the intent of building a REST interface. But if GraphQL is something I should be factoring in from the get-go, I need to know why. After reading this, I don't.
Not at all, use a different company if you like.

The root premise of free market (with transparency and regulation) is the most efficient system of resources distribution.
OP is absolutely right.

Resting B*tch Face
Agree. I sort of understand why though - we live in a religious plurality. Secular themes are the safe area. You say Scholasticism, I say the Eastern ancient Holy Fathers, another person would say Buddhist teachings, another Hindu teachings and yoga.

In a way, the major accomplishment of today's philosophy curriculum is showing that it is not sufficient. I'm sort of okay with this :-)
I ran into the same situation at FAANG. I was explicitly told I had failed to lead a project because of my level by my direct manager. I was not named as a tech lead (which was not necessarily level dependent) of my area and had multiple coworkers ask me why.

The final product was shockingly close to my original documentation and implementation. Part of the reason for this was the core implementation was all done by me, but I actually set good enough direction that after I left the company, a year later the final product was closer to what I designed than when I left. This product is still being maintained and the core functionality is the same and has been expanded upon (that is no full rewrite). The implementation isn't ideal imo and could be improved in a variety of ways, but it works well enough for the users 2 years later.

This entire ordeal burnt me out hard enough that I took 5 months off and I'm still recovering, and I've basically given up on leveling up in a traditional tech company in anyway. People might tell me I didn't play the game right, and I didn't, but it did really drill that politics and appearance is more important than impact. Especially anything that can be made to look like indirect influence can be used to take credit. I made the mistake of trusting managers and senior engineers with my ideas and they didn't return the favor.
Do you know what's happened on M1 Mac?
I am not sure what is so difficult to understand in what i have written but, let me try restating it;

The Instinct to Survive is inborn and every living organism exercises it as a "Law of Nature", but whether and how it will actually Survive is modulated by The Theory of Evolution/Survival of the Fittest. They are two different things. That instinct is what makes an organism do anything and everything to try and survive to pass on its genes.

> just gives them an out to not deliver drivers or do QC for obscure or really old hardware configurations

As others have mentioned they've already done this with Windows 10 and received a bunch of backlash for it. I have an old tablet (that shipped with Windows 8) that can't run the latest Windows 10 builds because there isn't a supported graphics driver. I had realistic expectations about niche hardware like this but many people assume that if they successfully install the OS it'll just work/be updated indefinitely. They're making it clear with 11 this isn't the case.
Wendy Liu: Abolish Silicon Valley
I think the red and yellow light are degrees of warning, there's a quote with the pilots debating which one scares them, to me that means neither of them are beyond the point of no return. I did have the same thought when I first read the article though.
Here is an example from the financial crisis in 2008:

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/holder-big-banks-...

I also remember reading a book about epo and J&J. There the situation also was that the government prosecutors were reluctant to touch the case because they knew J&J would outspend them with their lawyers. Then a private lawyer took on the case and after years reached a settlement but in the process was close to bankrupting his law firm.
Terrible news to get now, at what I would reckon is the peak of the anti-vax movement so far. Today a huge crowd of people blocked ambulances that were arriving at the hospital in my city, protesting vaccines. I have rarely witnessed such idiocy here, certainly never on such a massive scale. This story about metal contaminants will surely become part of their twisted repertoire.
Developers will learn pretty quickly whether consumers will give that protection up. I suspect for small apps they won’t.
The average person does not have enough evidence to refute that the moon is not made of cheese. That does not mean one should hear out a lunarcheesist.
> I typed in movie titles and below is the art I got.

It's clearly impossible to end up with a white haired man and a Delorian from the words "Back to the Future", so it likely has way, way more information about the movie than the title. Possibly even movie posters. I think it's a bit misleading.

I'm honestly shocked McDonalds corporate let this situation fester. Like I've seen the allegation that corporate is incentivized to milk franchisees but honestly I just don't buy that.

The McFlurry machines being broken is now part of popular culture. It's a meme. There are websites to track if they're "broken". And they're broken a lot.

How can a company like McDonalds take that kind of brand hit? Screwing franchisees makes even less sense.

Honestly I'd be more inclined to believe that it's some current or former McDonalds executive with a relationship to Taylors such that they or someone they know is directly benefitting from the support contracts.
Seems reasonable as a special part for super enthusiasts yea.. I guess I'm just more excited around the crazy high core count parts I guess than the high peak clock rates... 8 cores just feels like old news at this point for desktop I guess.. gotta have all of those chrome tabs open..
TV is entertainment, and any faith in the images coming from it is undeserved. Is 100% hyperbole, yes, of course. Is the majority of content on TV fake and over produced, yes, of course it is. It used to be that the label news meant something, but the definitions have been blurred so that opinion shows are now touted as news. After the news label, anything else appearing on the boobtube is meant for entertainment. Believing that the "unscripted" "reality" programming is real is farsical to me. I've worked in production for so long that maybe I'm jaded, but I've worked for religious programming, sports programming, drama/comedy production, live interviews, etc. Everything is touched up in some form or fashion. Education channels exist, but depending on what camp you're in, even those are faking/pushing agendas.
Generally electric vehicles handle wall -> charging.

Taking DC from batteries to connect to a 120V AC house is going to require an inverter which adds cost, weight, and space. Presumably the base model won't have it.
Apple announces states that will let you keep driver’s license on your iPhone
The difference is that a lot of people on HN make at least a few macbooks a month in salary.

I doubt there are nearly as many people on HN making even one entry level Ford Focus a month in salary.

Along a similar line of reasoning, I totally understand if Coca-Cola bans soft drinks from Pepsi on campus. But I would be much less understanding of Ford banning non-Ford cars in their employee parking lots.

That's the point though. Reddit wants some posts and not others, best way to stop them getting what they want is deleting all comments exactly so less people will go to the site.

Reddit called itself a bastion for free speech then walked it back for Chinese investors, and were surprised at the backlash.

The original ban wave was the exact reason the delete scripts were conceived.
It’s more that Apple is striking a balance between a reasonable hardware support timeframe and moving their software platforms forward with at a certain velocity without excessive legacy baggage.
