Can you list examples where there is not currently feature parity?
The article talks about "concentration" not "centralisation". These are very different things. For example, a large organisation can be decentralised. This is not nitpicking, you can't think properly about stuff if you're using the wrong terminology.

How do you think we got that miraculous bounce post-Covid?

The Federal Reserve had to step in with ~$8 trillion and start buying stocks.

Two Fed presidents had to step down recently due to their stock holdings.

They had to do this to save everyone's retirement accounts and the housing market.

And now we have inflation and this will get blamed on the President's policies. It has nothing to do with that, it's this massive injection of cash into the system. They may have gone a little overboard.

They are trying to slowly unwind this. Until then it's "party like it's the 1920s".

Facebook does something productive, but I don’t see how stocks map to that productivity. The only way I really see to take a stock and have it represent actual value, is to plug it into the stock market. But this is just trading between those trading on the potential value of the stock -- not on the value it gives to them (that is, they don't actually want the stock for any purpose but to move it -- they're middlemen).

But if you imagined no stock market existed (you remove the middlemen), then is there any reason for anyone to want stock? That is, at the end of all this stock trading, who actually wants to have an FB stock? It doesn’t appear to me to be the public, or FB itself, or any particular investor. Everyone wants to hold stock, in order to get rid of it later (earning on the arbitrage) — but no one apparently wants it in the first place (it grants no power, potential earnings, and doesn’t really represent anything meaningful AFAICT); this is why the only thing to do with a crashed stock is to wipe your ass with it -- stocks are meaningless without their backing company -- but I'm currently not finding a way to claim that stocks are meaningful even when their company exists!

Currency could be said to be in the same boat, but at least till the gold standard died, at the end of the day USD could be said to be minimally wanted by the Feds — mapping to gold — producing that base value you could further justify trading and speculating on. I suppose I don’t understand what justifies a base value for USD post-gold standard either (it was bootstrapped, and now is self sufficient? Or perhaps because we all assume the feds will always a assign value to it)

Furthermore, because there’s no one who wants a stock in the end, there seems to be no reason for the value of a stock to rise/fall based on company successful — no more reason than my trash should.

AFAICT, its just a happens-to-be — by the powers of god, luck and collective will, stocks have arbitrarily been selected to move with company performance, despite there being no real relationship between the two (the only people who want it more are people who intend to sell it to others who want it more — but you follow the chain through and you can’t find anyone who wants it for any other reason).

And I really want to be convinced “a collective fiction” is not the answer (stocks exist because stocks hold value because stocks exist. Stock value tracks company success, because company success tracks stock value, because stock value tracks company success).
Towards the end, the author claims that the benefit of crypto will be to teach people financial literacy. Not only is that a little bit like teaching people responsible drinking by bringing them to the Oktoberfest, I'm also not sure all the people who do not have bank accounts are really going to use their late-model iPads to watch CryptoBroTube to learn about stablecoins and NFTs...

There certainly is a way out of this: don't buy shitty replacements. You could still get your display replaced by a legit service before Apple introduced verifications. You might prefer that someone else takes care of your broken phone, but why'd you want to force that on everybody?
You just rediscovered dualism, consciousness is the new spirit, immaterial and beyond scientific investigation. Dualism is a dead end, it took a lot of time for people to understand that.

Why not come to the concrete level and realise that without consciousness you would not get something to eat and quickly die. So it has to do with life. We're complex self-replicators in an environment with scarce resources. We rely on consciousness to continue to exist. It feels like something to be you because you got a lot to win or lose, you're in a game of life and need to choose your actions.

> Few people are excited about both monads and macros; only one person that I know comes to mind.

I don’t understand what the article is trying to convey. Everyone in the PL community know about monads and macros but they are tools and people are rarely excited about tools. The article seems to have a strong Haskell user bias.

For example, both using macro and monads is very common in Ocaml. JaneStreet, the company which uses Ocaml the most, uses both extensively. Ocaml provides advanced macro functionalities (called ppx rewriters) and let-binding overloading to make writing monadic code easier. There is no opposition between these two functionalities.

Was this sent to Apple? No, it was posted to a public forum. This isn't about begging Apple to change, it's about informing people that Apple should change. The more people care about this, the more pressure it puts on both Apple and legislators to make this happen. We've seen it happen with car parts years ago.

Of course Apple doesn't care about what people say. They care about how much money people give them and how much politicians take away. And neither of those will change without talking about it first.

As for your view on technology, while many of us here share it, let's not forget how small HN crowd in general population is. Like you said, people shrugged, but most probably never even thought about it.
I've been a long time golang user and while I like to give the golang maintainers the benefit of the doubt, I have also struggled heavily with go modules.

I think my main issue with it is that it does things implicitly without you telling it to. Running go commands will modify the go.mod file all the time, and this is largely invisible to you. As a result, your build is basically a moving target and seems to lose all reproducibility. It also makes the entire thing very opaque and hard to understand at times, since you need to understand the implementation details of go modules to fully know what's happening.

In comparison, take godep. While not perfect, it simply did what I told it to, and only modified the dependency state when I gave it a command. This meant I knew exactly what was happening in my build system, and could update dependencies when I chose to.

If anything, go modules is too smart for its own good... And I think this is a big problem for a build or packaging system. It needs to be explicit and simple. It's odd it was designed like this, given the language itself strives for these ideals.
exactly. this is so basic, it's staggering that the article doesn't cover it. I realise hbr isn't a peer reviewed journal, but it's pretty disgraceful that a publication that carries the name of what is claimed to be the top university in the world peddles research that, whatever merits it may have, disingenuously uses a flawed argument like that. And unfortunately this isn't even the worst of its kind in HBR...
> `name: type` is a lot better than `type name`

This is highly subjective. I find the latter to be far more readable. Reading a variable name knowing it's type makes more sense.
Ah memories. My first "own" computer was an inherited IIsi with a A4 16 grayscale monitor. Even when it was way past its usefulness I still tricked it out with max RAM and a Nubus FPU. Never ran into the dust problem though…
> I believe the performance boost will not be meaningful and the only important factor is cost per GB*s, given that most Lambda workloads are IO bound or simple event handlers that barely take 1s to run anyway.

At @dayjob we’ve got plenty of Lambda workloads where we’re butting up against the maximum execution time limit; while that's mostly a “not optimally architected for Lambda” problem, an extra ~20% capacity before that becomes a constraint rather than a concern would be welcome.

Less, "In about 6% of hospitalizations for overdose, patients develop liver injuries"

Different US study

"In many instances, individuals are using alcohol, hypnotics, or illicit drugs in combination, undoubtedly clouding judgment and often delaying hospitalization. More than 60% of unintentional cases in our study used a narcotic combination, such as hydrocodone and acetaminophen (Vicodin and others). Excessive use (up to 40 or more tablets per day) appears to occur over weeks prior to onset of liver injury, suggesting addiction to the narcotic component and the development of tolerance to the narcotic and to the acetaminophen"

> some folks trying to win the Darwin Award

It's good you acknowledged intelligence in inherited. It's good to want to increase the general IQ. But I don't agree killing people is a solution. Other than ethics, a lot of people killed in the Darwin Award already had children, which have lower IQ's (per Darwin) and now no parent/parents, which often means they actually breed more. A lot of average/low IQ people are also quite nice. They won't cure cancer but they often are good to have in the community.

>how safe it felt.

You mean how authoritarian it felt. I can't believe people's brains have devolved over the past 18 months to the point that seeing a society live in constant fear and have to present papers gestapo-style to participate in society is perceived as "wow I feel safe here". You'd have loved to live under fascism, because of how "safe" you would feel under your extreme government authority.
It sounds like "this is going to happen anyway, so it may as well happen in the open". That's not necessarily a bad position, I think.

Maybe a market that didn't pretend insider trading didn't happen would look somewhat different.
People on a train aren’t a representative sample, nor is every video on a cellphone Netflix. Tablets are of course another story people regularly watch movies on those because the screen isn’t tiny.

Which gets back to the basic point people don’t watch a lot of video on cellphones and Netflix is usage is even lower.

>I have another hypothesis also that this is done for security reasons.

It always boggled my mind how much mental gymnastics, the supposedly tech-savy HN userbase is willing to do, to defend their favorite computer brand's anti-repair and anti-consumer practices as "security".

Let me break down your argument:

Firstly, if you're at risk of high profile spying, you should know better than to use any Apple/Google/Microsoft products as all those megacorps are in bed with the US three letter alphabet agencies.

Secondly, if you're a high profile target for spying, but dumb enough to use an iPhone as your daily driver, then the alphabet boys or nation states worldwide are more likely to use some of the dozens of iOS RCE exploits they developed themselves or bought from some shady Israeli security company or off the black market to get to you rather than go through all the trouble of hoping you don't notice when they steal your phone and replace your screen.

Thirdly, say nation state actors do manage to steal your phone and swap the screen really quickly before you notice, but how will they make sure it has the same level of wear and tear (cracks, scratches) that you won't recognize it to be different?

There's just so many plot holes in this type of scenario that security cannot be justified as an argument here.

Plus, if Apple really cared about security, then their bug bounty program wouldn't be such a horrible mess full of unacknowledged vulnerabilities that researchers need to take public.

A question about the M1: can you actually run an x86 VM under Rosetta? A large part of my job involves driving VMs for expensive hardware loaded with dev tools. I thought the answer was "no", which has put me off getting an M1, but just wanted to check.
It recommends this, sure, but there's no need for it. Doing so would be purely for backwards compatibility with older versions of Go tools that don't understand modules and rely on GOPATH. If you don't need to support older tools, then there's absolutely no need to copy anything.

For ourselves, nothing really. For a customer: They really don't want to pay the licens once it is required, and they need ActiveDirectory authentication or KeyCloak. I've already been in contact with someone working on Kowl, and we're just waiting on OIDC support.

Really we just want an alternative to Kowl, if a customer asks for suggestions. For our own use, we plan on keeping Kowl.
It certainly is a cultural issue which is why it shouldn’t be enforced by tooling!

I also completely agree about the value of stability, which is why I don’t like this change which paradoxically encourages more churn (normalises v2,v3 etc for breaking changes, normalises large breaking changes and rewriting apis).

All APIs are slightly unstable in some sense (even adding fields can be a breaking change), so the aim should be to minimise version bloat and breaking changes and provide stability for importers, which the go language has done an amazing job at for the last decade.

To give you a counter-example the sengrid api in go has had multiple large breaking changes/rewrites and has used this v2/v3 etc scheme. It’s still a horrible experience as an importer and I’d rather they remained stable instead of introducing massive churn with the cop-out that the old unsupported version didn’t change.

In dependencies I import I want a perpetual v1 which doesn’t change over a decade and just slowly improves, not v31 - new improved rewrite this year! Which this rule explicitly encourages.
Exactly, Haskell's "do" notation is essentially defined as a built-in macro, so if you ever want to use "do" notation in a language that doesn't have it built-in you will need to use macros. (Let-binding overloading is essentially do notation in case that's not clear)

SEEKING WORK | The Netherlands or remote | Part time

I help R&D teams crystallize their knowledge into software. As an example, I have recently finished developing an application for a Belgian laboratory to aid in the analysis of chemical samples (they love the software and are probably willing to tell about me if you feel like asking them).

Skills:

- Software project stewardship: I make sure the necessary stakeholders get involved, regularly gather their feedback, help them balance priorities, and periodically demo the status of the project (I am a Certified Scrum Product Owner, though I owe this skill more to experience than to a training)

- Knowledge sharing: I am able to condense my knowledge in the form of trainings, presentations, and individual mentoring.

- Excellent programming skills: I make sure the software adheres to best practices, like version control, automated testing and Docker-based deployments (this all might seem obvious to people here, but it is not at all self-evident for my usual clients).

- Native Dutch and Spanish speaker: my experience is that speaking with non-technical people in their native language is a very welcome way of lowering the communication barrier.

Technologies: I can probably use whatever technology you want me to, given a bit of time to pick it up. Still, I feel most comfortable with:

- .NET Core (ASP Core, EntityFramework, etc) + PostgreSQL

- Angular

- Rust (I know the language inside out and was an early contributor, though I would need to brush up my knowledge of the ecosystem to get up to speed with the current libraries)

- Google Cloud Platform + Docker Containers on Google Cloud Run

> Their reasoning was that chips were a commodity, which at the time was correct.

I think the real reasoning is to cut costs once a company achieves domination. If there is no political will in the executive ranks to continue spending on R&D, the executives will choose to cut costs today, coast for a few years and cash out on their “increased” performance.

It is one of the reasons I like dapple, since as far as I can tell, Microsoft is just planning on collecting rent from Office, and Google execs like to toy around with a project for their own prestige and then kill it once a new boss comes around who cannot claim the initiative as their own.
acdha addressed the feature issue very well I think, it's not just about one or two features and when Apple does execute a feature they often do it better. ProMotion actually saves battery overall by often clocking the display down fo static images. Qualcomm's engineering team is just fine, the problem in their economics don't work for making truly high end chips. It's the most expensive engineering they do, but only a tiny fraction of the Android handsets sold carry flagship chips. Meanwhile all iPhones are effectively flagship devices.

A lot (but not all for sure) of the A-series chip performance advantage comes from a massive on-die cache for example. That's not fancy engineering, just brute force transistor count. Qualcomm engineers could absolutely do that, but Android handset economics won't support it.
On the other hand, why shouldn't NSA and CIA be invested 100% in pushing back on these attacks already? The potential harm from this vector is obviously gigantic, so why wait for a really significant attack to happen?
