They are not a "private company" in that sense. With their user segment, they form a market and the app store establishes a "legal" system. Basically their users are citizen of a Apple nation and whoever wants to make business with them, has to follow the "legal system".

Consider the free market system (as the economic system of the western world), where you have choice between offerings, then the Apple ecosystem is the exact opposite.
I still see it in some publications on occasion, but it's rare. I often write it as "coöperate" myself as well; it clarifies that the ö starts a new syllable and that it's "co-operate" rather than "coo-perate" with a single long o sound: it's just something you need to know. I find it regrettable that this has fallen out of favour, and especially with English becoming the de-facto world language I think there's some value in making the spelling and pronunciation closer when possible.

The sad fact is that many Americans just aren't educated enough to care, nor do they want to care. You have to remember: the country was founded by the conspiracy theorist farmers of the day that believed the government was out to fuck them, when in reality they were just mad that they had to pay taxes. This mentality persists today that people don't want the government helping them in any way, even if it means they get fucked over by their employers.
OpenSea Head of Product accused of front-running homepage drops
Hello fellow time traveler
True, but a couple years ago I ported most of the Tarsnap dedup algorithms to Python. It wasn't too hard, just time consuming. I was hoping someone else did that in a thorough way, but I guess the intersection of "I love tarsnap's design!" and "I have the time to port it from C!" might not be too large.
The first half of his sentence is right. The full sentence and implications are not right.

I was the first engineering hire at a start up. I built the start-up from greenfield to multi-million dollar revenue and 50+ employees.

I was doing ALL of the DevOps and security work, while also contributing to back-end development. I knew the system in and out and was working my ASS off.

When the time for yearly reviews came, I was excited to get a big raise ( to bring me in line with the median for my job title ), and a pat on the back.

Instead they announced some "point-based pay scale" and told me I was technically already over-paid for my position. No raise, no promotion.

The thing is, the point system was based on reviews from my peers. Who all did their own back-end and front-end work and were never really collaborating with me. I was just loudly as possible running things on the back-end and trying to keep my users happy.

ALL of us ended up around the middle of the chart "with expectations we will move up." "Oh, you built the company? Well uh... you're still just a senior engineer."

A week later I had accepted an offer making +50% and they were out one of their foundational engineers. Most of the other devs followed suit. So the pennies they saved lost them pounds of engineers they now had to recruit and re-hire for. What a bonehead move.

So I definitely hear you here: basing pay off of arbitrary points allocated by your peers instead of actually measuring performance is bad in my experience.

When the in cases where the productivity measurement scheme is this straightforward, you'll find a lot of positions offer bonuses or incentives for hitting metrics. Or maybe just quotas that serve to inform the worker that any addition work is unnecessary. After all, you pointed out all the obvious reasons that this makes sense.

The reason the vast majority of jobs don't work this way is because productivity is rarely: A) so easily measured B) so easily mapped to revenue. A 0.1x person whose maintenance work generates real revenue contributes more to the bottom line than a 100x worker in the same position whose project is scrapped for whatever reason.

Just like saying, if consumers and towns don’t like Bell telephone they can just run their own phone lines all over the country couldn’t they?
Another way to interpret this is to look at the relationship between power/influence and relative benefit of transparency. If the highest performers are incentivized to keep their pay secret to avoid getting placed into common denominator buckets, surely that will translate into systems that favor pay secrecy.

So if we look at pay secrecy as a "natural" phenomenon given workplace dynamics, one then needs to ask what one stands to gain from disturbing those dynamics. Anecdotally, the argument I hear is that this causes high performers to leave, causing the company to lose competitiveness. If so, it seems kinda counterproductive to pursue the goal of pay equality, since this entails that there's no incentive to increase company competitiveness (e.g. "eh, someone else can do the work, it's not my job" mentality), but the subsequent lower bottom line gets distributed evenly, meaning that any individual gains are constrained to some local maximum.

That... doesn't sound like an appealing conclusion. I'd love to hear different takes on why pay transparency might make sense, in a global environment where other companies are naturally incentivized to tie hustling to pay secrecy.
Don't forget the company that made your car, the company that supplied gas for that car, the company that built the refrigerator that keeps your food cold, etc when you go get groceries. I think that comes to 90+% going to other companies.

No, it is a "haha i got you!". You want the US to be like the rest of the world (or specifically Australia) and yet you came to the US because the US is unique in providing extremely high paying comfortable and interesting jobs. This type of environment is possible because that's what the US optimizes for, at the detriment of class equality. You're a hypocrite, specifically one that calls out people's alleged wealth when you came here to amass your own. Poetic given the thread we are in.
Most people have an innate sense of fairness. If two people are doing the same thing, and one is getting compensated more for it, unless that person is deliberately kept ignorant of this fact, they are likely to feel that it is unfair.

Even if they were happy with the amount they were making before, that unfairness is likely to make them feel unhappy: not just because they could be making more, but because this says "we value this other person more than we value you, for reasons we're unlikely to ever tell you."

If, instead, this whole scenario started out with full pay transparency, it is vastly less likely that the company would be willing to allow this level of disparity in the first place, thus avoiding any party feeling unhappy.

No, I question if the vaccines that are currently being produced will remain effective through later strains, requiring new vaccines to be developed, produced, and then redistributed to the populations of the world, in a global game of cat and mouse. Vaccinated people getting and spreading delta show a crack in the armor [1]. More than that, it goes against what was communicated to the public, about these vaccines:

> But how come you have to figure out if food is safe just because it is not the government who certifies that food?!

Because rather than trusting a centralised entity responsible for food safety I now need to figure out which of the 5,000 profit driven "certification" authorities are actually trustworthy and aren't just an arm of the food manufacturer. In the best case scenario I end up finding 5 or so organisations that will certify the ingredients I use most often, and I'm a bit fucked if I ever want to eat something they don't cover. In the worst case those 5 organisations have previously been bought by the market leader and now are now operated as fronts.

> Yes, you go to a link for China, where the biggest government is and you have death penalty.

The infant formula scandal is simply the one with the most widespread media attention, probably because the profit motive lead to babies being poisoned. It was a counter example to your initial point that food manufacturers would never dream of adulterating their products.

If you'd rather have a western example, then in the UK a supplier of one of the largest supermarkets Tesco, was caught adulterating their "beef" burgers with horse meat.

> Yes, you go to a link for China, where the biggest government is and you have death penalty.

I don't see how the death penalty has any bearing on what we're discussing.

> A good show of why governments work for food control, right? hahahahahaha! You are just making my point, man. It does not depend on it.

It shows that they had the motivation, resources, and authority to find and punish those responsible. I don't agree with the form the punishment took but it illustrates the limitations of a private certification body once people start dropping dead. In fact they would be incentivised to help cover up any incidents lest they lose customers.
If it causes the "lower classes" to leave though you can wind up with a pile of PhDs that don't have practical knowledge and don't know how to produce anything actually useful.

> What's your solution to this? Replacing migrant workers with locals by quadrupling the price of fruit?

How would it quadruple the price of fruit? Serious question. Prices would go up, but lets say a worker can pick, what 100 lbs of onions per hour. Onions cost between 30c-$1.50 a pound, so lets go low at say $0.50/pound. So in that hour, if they pick 100 pounds, that's around $50 of revenue. If they make, say $5/hour, and we quadruple their pay to $20/hour, if we increase the cost of onions so that one hour's worth of onions (100 lbs) costs $15/hour more, up to $65/hour, that would be $0.65 per onion. Far from quadruple. If we quadruple the cost to $2.00/onion, then that's $200/hour worth of onion revenue, and we could increase the worker wage from $5/hour to $105/hour!

Lots of research seems to back all this up.

I've always written it in "British style" myself because that's what we do in Dutch and I never considered there might be another way to do things, and it wasn't until someone "corrected" me just a few years ago that I even noticed the "American style" exists, in spite of having read countless books and articles which use it. Even now, when reading something I don't really notice unless I pay attention to it.

Based on this, I think it doesn't really matter, either in aesthetics or clarity.

I’ll mention that we had to ignore the requirements of diagnostic and scanning tools in the past, and you might be better served by a fork like BoGo from the BoringSSL test suite.

Apple is a ruthless company.

We should stop personifying them and idolizing the products they make. Look at the chess moves. They're a monster.

It should terrify you that some of the best products on the market are owned by a company that wants to extract as much as it can from the rest of us. They're no different from Oracle, just with good products. It's a winning strategy, and they're now positioned to sink their claws deeper.

They've decimated the competition leaving you with a device that costs too much, isn't repairable, doesn't run untaxed software, and spies on you. The next moves will lock you down even harder.

It has a TON to do with healthcare. It would expand hearing and vision coverage for medicare, likely dental too but right now not in effect for years (cause teeth are expensive which is it's own problem).

It would allow govt to negotiate drug prices which should ideally save money e.g. less tax increases needed for pay fors.

Perhaps amongst some other things like more obamacare subsidies.

But i'm sadly not super optimistic. I think biden's initial plan was huge knowing it would get negotiated down. But now we're being held hostage and it will probably get small....

I would also argue pre-k, food, expanding child tax credit are key to health too.

==I don't understand why we're talking about spending trillions so flippantly and none of it has anything to do with health care. ==

This is not true. Plenty of the $3.5 trillion is aimed at healthcare. Everything is still up for negotiation, but there are lots of provisions focused on health.

- Expanded Medicare to include dental, vision, and hearing is in there [1].

- Lowering Medicare age to 60 [2].

- National paid leave [3].

- Negotiated drug prices [4].

Out of pure perfectionism (in avoiding unnecessary complexity and dependencies) I hope we can omit the HTML part one day. It probably isn't going to be hard to just parse MarkDown directly. Sure, MarkDown is supposed to allow inclusion of HTML tags but I don't use any except in some rare cases like when I need a page break for pretty export.

> I was aiming to bring timestamps in but realised that the timestamps aren't available consistently in Linux

This can be among motivations for putting them in the front matter. Another being the fact the file system timestamps can change when you perform operations which don't actually change their content. At this moment I'm looking forward for a script (I was going to write it myself as time would permit) which would scan all the files and add/update front matter to include (if it doesn't) creation time (in ISO UTC format like YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.ffffffZ) initialized as the fs's file creation or modification time, whichever is earlier.

> FrontMatter is a good shout, I haven't used any in my notes, hopefully that content can be parsed neatly.

I even hope Obsidian authors are going to add support for tags (as just the names of tags and links, I don't think existence of tags and links with same names is a useful case to support) listed in the front matter as `Tags: tag_a, tag_b, Link C` once. I am going to use this even if they don't although it's sad to see Obsidian doesn't recognize them there.

You seem like someone who might have a good book about this bit of history? Or perhaps a blog?
Two things:

1) Poverty is more than a financial condition. Income isn't the root problem per se. It's as much a symptom. The book "Evicted" is solid starting point for seeing how the cure for cronic and perpetual poverty is not as simple as handing out money.

2) That aside, the reduction was at what cost? That is, printing money creates inflation. Inflation is effectively a tax. Who is going to bear the brunt of that tax?

3) The income rate is artificially "suppressed". My understanding is that if you add 25% to 50% the number of ppl below the poverty line increases significantly. That is there are many constantly flirting with falling below that line. Unfortunately, transparency would not be great PR for the powers that be.
That's a failure of education and politics, not an indicator of what needs additional money.
