I'm not an economist by any stretch of the imagination (I'd love to see a response from someone who is!). But I do work on math and software systems that manage a sizable marketplace with a goal of efficiently balancing competition between many businesses with competing interests. You can get a long way on this kind of thing by just thinking about the incentives that would be set up and how companies would rationally respond to those incentives.

If I understand your question... the tax would, for example, be paid by Apple on their products sold in the US if they continue to build their devices in China and it would be based on the difference in the cost of labor between the US and China. Let's assume the administrative details could be worked out, which does not seem trivial (e.g., If you want it proportional to the labor savings of manufacturing in China, how many hours of labor are spent on an iPhone and how is that audited? And how many hours would it take to make in the US with different worker protection laws / expectations?).

Apple would not just absorb such a tax. It would be reflected directly in the prices of their products. So prices go up for products sold in America, regardless of whether they are made in China (prices go up to cover the new tax) or they start being made in the US again (prices go up enough to cover more expensive labor).

Apple would now have the choice of continuing to manufacture in China or bringing manufacturing "home". They still want to sell to the rest of the world. To be competitive in the rest of the world, the non-US products still need to be made in China to keep prices down. So bringing US-bound production home means managing a more complex supply chain. I think I'd want to just pay the tax and keep logistics simpler by continuing to manufacture everything in China, even items bound for the US. One way around this would be for the government to charge US companies the tax for products sold outside the US as well. This would almost certainly be a disaster for the US because non-US companies now have a price advantage everywhere in the world except the US. Apple now has two choices... cede the global market to non-US competitors or move themselves outside the US.

So, if the result is that this doesn't help American labor much, then we're left with Americans paying higher prices for products with little offsetting increase in income. So Americans' purchasing power drops relative to the rest of the world. Revenue does increase for the US government and some of that will benefit the people who would have liked those manufacturing jobs, but certainly not all of it.

In the long term I can see the US getting more competitive in the global labor market because of such a tax, but not in a way that many would choose. It's not hard to see this dropping the standard of living in the US to some extent. If it drops enough that Americans are eager to work for the same compensation that Chinese workers get, manufacturing jobs could start coming back. Be careful what you wish for?

This article seems like a political hitjob but, as the kind of nerd who actually thinks about street furniture, I was thinking it might be about one of those cool things where the small, visible interface leads to an underground vault:

Probably hard to retrofit in the middle of cities though.

Or even pneumatic trash tubes, like in NY:

"This is a totally disingenuous argument because the data that Facebook collects is embedded in their privacy policy and extends to any platform that you use Facebook on. This is how business relationships work. I don't know what good would come of showing another permissions dialog on Apple devices" /s

I don't know who you are, but the level of defense you're mounting for Apple makes it clear that you are not a neutral party. This is the first time i've heard someone argue in good faith that _any_ market gets to dictate to independent sellers how they display their price breakdowns.
I have the Keychron K1 (also red switches) and an Apple keyboard in front of me right now. The K1 is significantly louder at normal typing forces. ~60dB vs ~45dB using a sound meter app.
> The problem is that cybersecurity is ridiculous hard problem.

This is hard for me to believe for a company the size of Apple. They were recently the wealthiest company on the planet and are worth over a trillion dollars IIRC. They could slow down their software development process, focus less on adding new features, and prioritize fewer security holes. It seems like such a huge risk to them that their devices are basically always vulnerable. But the general public never really hear about these 0-days so they may have some ability to ignore the problem.

The cynic in me imagines that someone at Apple knows about these bugs and they are shared with spooks for exploitation. One could imagine that even for a responsible disclosure program, they could share details of every new vulnerability with some three letter agency who could have months of use out of them before a patch is finally released.
Right that's correct. It shows SKU usage but not mapped to actual instance id. And we have the scenario you are talking about - lots of same sku with variable cost and no way to correlate it without using bigquery it seems

So yes in a way, but here we're talking about something that synchronises state between a client and DB over http. The possibilities of weird edge cases seem endless :)
> For example, Facebook offers you to pay to "increase the reach" of your posts. This happens for example when you try to post a message to a Facebook group. If you want to make sure all members see the message, you have to pay.

That actually sounds incredibly cynical, and criminal

Power to... present user with dialog asking whether they consent to be tracked? The horror!
It actually points to the solution. Surveillance is only convenient when it works one way. As soon as you add counter surveillance to the mix it becomes more tricky. Now you can watch but others will be watching you watch others. Add some laws to the mix and now you actually have to stick to them because others will watch you break the law otherwise. Fine if you control everybody else (i.e. you are a dictator) but less so if those others are your political opponents, other countries, or anyone who might not be under your influence that can call you out on what you are doing; especially if there are consequences to you breaking the law.
Oh that's a really cool approach. I'm not much into the world of emulators - people probably have done this a bunch before, but I guess I've never thought about it - nice to see it presented here so systematically!

You can charge for a killer feature everyone wants when you have no competitors who can offer it for free.

And you might have noticed that even today nobody uses services which puts ads into private communications. People are willing to pay the tiny amount required to skip those ads.

And from cable TV we know that every service where people can tolerate ads will contains ads sooner or later even when people pay money for it.
You can disable the grouping feature.

What I did to reduce the noise in my mailbox is to unsubscribe from all marketing emails, and I move the ones that still come through to spam folder. It was a bit tedious at first, but now gmail is doing a pretty good job at automatically filtering out senders that do not respect my request to unsubscribe.
It seems at least tangentially relevant to the discussion more so than most, doesn't it?

Memories of human waste in the streets is the first thing I thought about after reading this article. I usually see at least one pile when I go into SF and walk around. I've also seen people actively relieving themselves and worse, and I've only wandered around SF maybe a dozen times.

Designing custom trash cans to optimize for esthetics in this context seems analogous to polishing a turd. It sounds like the bigger issue, ignoring potential corruption, is that they expect telemetry and sliding mechanisms in what notionally should just be some bent sheet metal, and assumed the stuff on the market was overpriced.
This is extremely unfortunate. I've found Sourcetrail so useful for my work. I'd continue paying just to keep the current functionality working without adding anything new.

Too bad, it was a good product. It appeared around the same time we launched QuantifiedCode, which was a static analysis & automated refactoring SaaS. Our learning was that developer tools are really hard to monetize, except maybe from the security/compliance/productivity angle (which doesn't really target developers though, more their superiors). Developers are just used to "everything" being free & open-source and large organizations like Github/Microsoft keep pushing this angle, as they can monetize their products differently in the long term.

Not sure if this will be good for the developer community though, it seems right now the large cloud players are trying to lock them into a closed ecosystem from which it will be hard to escape. Most open-source code already lives on Github and I'd wager that in 5-10 years most development will take place in cloud solutions, as the complexity of systems increases and makes local development harder. When that has happened I think it's not unreasonable the large players will tighten the screws on developers a bit and start squeezing out more money from them, since it will become very hard to migrate away from that entire ecosystem.

Virility for Men Features& Ingredients
Virility For Men is a successful enhancement since it depends on 7 years of exploration and studies that downsized the treatment to a couple of extraordinary and high-grade fixings. A protected and incredible equation can work on your Virility For Men wellbeing.

It is a surprising recipe that is inventive, solid, and in particular safe. This enhancement is protected from GMOs, anti-infection agents, synthetic substances, and gluten. To get the best outcomes, you need to take two containers per day routinely for something like 3 months to get the ideal impact.
sorry to rain down here but multi-device support is not a feature of metafeeds at all. It only realizes partial replication. It's equally important to grow the network but strictly distinct, all metafeeds are on the same device.

multi-device is only spec'ed but not implemented in what we call "fusion identities":

also, the ngi team has nothing to do with planetary.
I speculate that GameKit is basically abandonware by Apple. They even got rid of the app a few years ago.

There probably hasn't been hardening of it in years and the initial work was probably developed in haste.

This is systemic. Apple has a bad habit of abandoning software that isn't a priority. So, one shouldn't be surprised that Apple hasn't fixed these exploits. And I wonder if the author has fully mined GameKit for exploits yet. Perhaps there are more to be found.

The architecture of iOS and OSX isn't conducive to security AFAIK. It is more of an add-on as one can see instead of being architected in.
Thank you for writing this because I'm using Matrix for my engineering conference [0] and I believe in the project. However, no one in our online community (4k members) is willing to switch for good. Virtually no one likes the client's UX at all -- they see it as strictly a downgrade.

So we use Matrix briefly during the conference and then switch back to Discord.

I am with you on this! But to many non tech user, this seems to be important. Some get the feeling that they don't "create an account" when they use whatsapp or similar.

You are being downvoted, but I agree in principle. This is why I have multi-tier privacy protections (NextDNS, uBlock Origin, etc.) but subscribe to services that offer paid subscription (YouTube, several news sites, etc.). Unfortunately, FB doesn't give users that choice.

Creating Code with Artificial Intelligence
The problem with using Chromium/Bromite/whatever Blink-based is that Google is using their engine dominance to dictate Web standards, bypassing the standards bodies. They can add and remove features to suit their business goals and nobody can oppose them.

As long as Mozilla stick to Gecko, they can refuse to implement features they see as harmful and good web developers will simply not use them. If everyone uses Google's engine, there will be no practical reason to not use their shiny new feature, so only ethical/philosophical reasons remain. And we all know how much your average person cares about ethics, don't we?

Well, yes, they think they're saying something which reveals a lot more to you and you know to avoid this company. I also like to ask myself - who would be attracted by such a job posting and would I want to work with them?
With that information I can:
• Say with a lot of confidence that billy69420@cbt.eu is owned by one person, called William.
• Infer that, since the e-mail says Billy, but the name says William, the latter is probably what appears on any official documentation.
• Infer that any services signed up to using billy69420@cbt.eu as the e-mail address are more than likely tied to this William person - including any services I run or otherwise have administrative access to.
• Search for billy69420@cbt.eu on various public information repositories and reverse email searches.
• Add an entry to a database using billy69420@cbt.eu as a primary key (e-mail addresses are necessarily unique) to enable me to keep track of my current and future information and inferences, thus building a profile on the person.

I can also understand that the sex and weed references mean that you've probably not given a real e-mail in this example, but if it were real I might be able to infer an age range (or at least a level of maturity) of the user from that, although this would be unreliable as the user could have made the e-mail account some time ago and just still happen to be using it.
People know that companies shows them ads to make money, do you really think they are that stupid?

Can Apple retroactively identify apps that might have exploited these vulnerabilities to exfiltrate personal data? In my understanding they receive the full source code of an app for review, so they probably have an archive with all revisions that they could go through using automated tools to identify exploit code? Would be good to know if these exploits have been used in the wild, being able to exfiltrate the entire address book without any user involvement whatsoever is quite scary.
If Facebook no longer find providing a service on that platform to be profitable, they could just stop providing it, or more likely, corner Apple into banning them. I think at that point people might realise that tracking is a form of payment that they have opted out of.
I went from checking my spam folder, to creating a filter rule that moves all spam into the inbox. The filter is adding a label, so I can identify them, but still have them all visible for normal congestion.

Fun fact: from time to time I still have mails in my spamfolder... seems the filter does not always get applied.

> Look at the chart I posted above. 1969, 1973, 1979, 1989, 2000, 2006. All of these are a case of the Fed Funds rate being raised above the 30 year.

If you chart the Fed Funds target rate (or the upper and lower limit of the target range; the data available is different at different times, because the former series was discontinued in favor of the upper/lower limit series) and zoom in, you’ll see several things:

First, the Fed did not raise target rates above the 30yr yield, it raised it near the 30yr yield, then the yield fell through.

Second, there are lots of other cases (both distant from and just prior to inversions) where the Fed raised target rates close to the 30yr yield, and (as expected) the interest rate hike just drove the 30yr yield higher. This is consistent with what I said: yield inversions happen when the market loses faith in private sector investments, increasing the risk premium relative to government debt and dropping yield on Treasuries relative to general interest rates.

The Fed Funds Rate (barring unusual perception of private market risk) and Treasury yields are both perceived as near risk free rates available to overlapping sets of investors; the law of one price suggests that as long as that unusual risk perception is absent, they should track close, and they do.

> I think you are confused because normally when people talk about the yield curve, they are looking at the 3mo-10yr treasuries. I'm not here. I'm comparing between the Fed Funds Rate and the 30 year

I think you are confused because you are looking at the effective Federal Funds rate (set by the market, but responding to changes to the target rate) instead of the target rate, and zoomed out to far. The story doesn't change much if you look at the 10yr yield (its a little different with shorter terms).

> They can always step in and react and get it to not invert.

But why would they?

There's no decent explanatory theory for any of the yield curve inversions causing a recession. There are very good theories for why they tend to be produced on the way into recessions. So they are decent recession signals, but not things you can stop a recession by preventing. (And, yes, there's a feedback argument that any known signal can be a cause, but the Fed can't visibly intervene to short-circuit that, because that intervention sends the same market signal, earlier, as the thing it seeks to prevent.)
Physical aimbots are a much fairer cheat than picking apart the render pipeline to see through walls. A good player can still beat them.

I'm not saying I'm for any sort of cheat, including the built-in aim-assist for people who choose to play with a controller, but if I absolutely had to play against an unknown number of cheaters, I would prefer they were at least playing with the same deck as me.
I've used an ortholinear keyboard as my main keyboard for the last four years (Keyboardio Model 01 and occasionally Atreus as my travel/backup). Using a regular layout keyboard slows me down for a bit, but that often has more to do with the placement of modifier keys, Enter, Backspace, and so on rather than the ortholinear vs skewed layout. Still, I can readjust after an hour or so. Oddly, I find that I have almost no readjustment period when I use the keyboard on a laptop. The catch might be that I've never felt comfortable typing on a laptop keyboard, even before I started using ortholinear layouts. I see people sitting at cafes working on their laptops for hours and I just could never do that and don't really understand how other people can do it without destroying their wrists and necks.

I'm also an SE, but with a background in marketing. At the same time, I find it difficult to switch gears. One thing I find can work is to set 1 day marketing only, no code, or other similar restrictions so that I focus on that.

Pricing isn't hard, but it can be hard.

I'd love to help you out, but because I don't understand the use case enough, I don't think I'd be a valuable resource.

I've used Notion databases, but didn't even realize what it was.

Do people join just one Notion database to one google sheet? Or is it multiple? Is it really about sharing data between the two? Is Notion the starting point? Or is Sheets the start?

Are you targeting people who want more power from Google sheets (sharing the data in a way that is more consumable), or do they in Notion, and find themselves copying data from Google sheets. It's a subtle difference, but an important one for marketing.

Again, this comes down to what is the best use case you can find to describe what people do. Do you have a trend that you have seen with how most users are using your product? As in, they have a forecast in sheets, and want to link that up with data about the products they're selling which they have in a notion database, as an example? Or they have their marketing plan in Notion, and the tracking data in google sheets, and they want a way to display them all together?

This sort of thing should help you tell a clearer story for people like me that "almost" get it, but not quite.

Once you know those details, that can help you understand the customer user, and how many databases/sheets the customer may have. That helps you segment who you are targeting, what they care about, and what they understand so you can appeal to their pricing needs.

Does that make sense?
I do too. I know that's not what this post is about, but its refreshing to see someone not on the minimalist bandwagon.
