If anyone is interested in practicing having deep connection in a structured format, there are “authentic relating” groups that meet locally and virtually that you might be able to get involved with.

ART is hosting an authentic relating circle twice a week for free on Zoom until the end of the year. Details here: https://authenticrelating.co/art-community-circles/

I’m not affiliated with ART but I have attended their circles and find them helpful for satiating that need for deep interactions, especially during the pandemic.
I changed the capitalization so the name is Airss now. Hopefully this should reduce the negative association.
I don’t think we’ll ever see that, but it’s a fantastic idea. I’ve wonder what MS’ income is from Windows, and if it’s worth the effort.
> FAANG companies will primarily be differenated based on network or software, rarely commodity hardware.

I know. I didn't say they were going to sell commodity chips. Just that they were big enough to own their own stack.

> Separately, Rockefeller's coercion of the railroads was not something he did because he was big, it was something he did to become big.

No. It was something an already large SO did to get bigger. If Standard Oil wasn't big, it could never coerce the railroads to begin with.

> When they were struggling, he would buy them up at distressed prices and turn the rails back on.

I know. But small insignificant standard oil didn't do this. It was big standard oil on its way to even bigger and better things.

It’s the naturalistic fallacy.
What timescale are you thinking on, 75 years or 15000 years?
I am forced to pay the government money every time I earn income, buy anything, wish to start a business, hire someone, or just exist as annually I have to file a tax return. Failure to do any of these things results in violence - the seizure of my property and / or my freedom forcibly taken away and my body put in prison.

Facebook may have business relationships with other private entities I use, and as a side effect receive some of my information, but Facebook is nothing like the government.
>You would have to bar insiders from ever trading their own stock under any circumstances, which seems silly.

Why is it silly? It seems perfectly reasonable to me. There are 10's of thousands of other stocks to trade.

Insider Trading is one of the stupid laws I have come across. There is always going to be asymmetry in information.
wow that is truly awful scrolling. why would they ever implement this?
> one thing i thought it did a good job of was pointing out both corporations and governments suffer from the ills of consolidation

Seriously? I saw nothing in the article to argue why consolidation would yield to such ills, it kind of just assumed it.

Felt mostly like the article said: "why don't most firm consolidate? Well, maybe because it wouldn't end up so good? Maybe because the leader would fail to manage all of it properly?"

I don't know, the whole thing was so thin on actual analysis, data, examples, annectodes, logic, etc.

I felt it relied exclusively on the hope that you already are biased towards its conclusion to actually make its point.

For example, it could have at the very least brought up very large successful firms that have consolidated? Like most tech giants? Or media corporations? And tried to explain why they have done so?

Competition (and capitalism) is not a conscious choice, it is simply what happens when humans are free to choose. Western societies consciously chose individual freedom, and the economic system simply followed directly from that choice.
I expected more from this reply. It implies the existence of deep analysis but then just pontificates a bit. Too bad.
According to this article, government shouldn’t be doing those things anyway. So if the government failed and stopped doing all of those things, I guess the world would get better?
Hello there,

First of all sorry for my bad emglish. It is not my first language so.

It's my bad i should have mentioned more stuff to our medium post so that it won't leave users with any confusions. Please pardon me as this was my first post. I've never had written anything before.

You might got some questions like

Q: Who are we?
A: We are simply a india based gaming startup. We had 8-10 games published on our playstore account.

Q:Why do we mentions address of UK on our tweeter handle?
A:. According to google policy we have to provide a physical address if we want to use in-app-purchases. This physical address is visible publicly on our games pages.

Reason providing our uk address is we have a representative living there who can reply to any type of physical communications such as letters on behalf of us. He also can reply to various other stuffs like GDPR and different other policies. For ex. You can send a latter to the given address to get in touch with us!

Q: Where can i find your games incase i want to see them?
A: You can find it on apk pure. let me provide you links
- https://m.apkpure.com/developer/6Ace%20Games

Q:How me monetized our games?
A: Through admob and in-app products. Nothing shady!

Q:Our games was providing gambling?
A: No, It's just simulations. You can't win money or bet money, Not at all!

Q: what about your domain 6acegames.com?
A: Yes, our domain 6acegames.com is new. The reason behind it is very silly you may find it funny but still let me tell you!, at first we have bought domain sixacegames.com(you can check reg. details) thinking it will help in seo and all because we didn't want to include a number "6" in our domain. But later after our games got popular user started searching for 6Acegames that's why we bought this domain as well in may 2021 just to build the presence on google search.

Q:Why no presence on linkedin?
A: Try searching "Whyphy Infotech". 6Acegames is just business name we use!

Q: What about social media?
A:we are not very active in social media. As you can see in our tweeter handle we have 0 followers. The reason is simple we never promoted it to our users. Although we have some followers on our instagram handle, but they follow us because we provide free perks occestionally to our audience.
The fact that getting taxed is even considered a “threat” is weird and disturbing. It’s not even a downside — 60% of a pile of free money is still a pile of free money.
Actually, rotting vegetation does not release all of its carbon. Soil mass actually increases, and soil carbon percentage goes up.

Plus, that carbon-rich soil can support much more biodiversity than a soil with low carbon.

No one lives there any more — it’s too crowded.
Exactly. I agree there are more competitive pressures for smaller orgs. Once some get really big, they can still face competitive pressure from smaller upstarts, that has happened many times. They can fold from being too big and not focused enough. They can fold from trying to stitch together too many cultures and have infighting that brings them down.

They can also start to buy other smaller orgs to relieve competitive pressure. They can also create lock-in policies to make it very painful for people to leave. They can also spend money on political advertising to play on people's fears that certain individuals or orgs are out to get them.

Government can also do this. I guess sometimes I just get confused why people seem to fear one and not both.
That is useful info, thanks. I see it has full approval for age 16 and up and still TUA for under 16. I'm assuming they will then delay implementing this until it has full approval for the relevant ages. As long as people are not required to sign away any patient rights to obtain the vaccine, it should be fine.

It's hard to say. Even before automobiles we had penny farthings and early bicycles, before that we had handcarts, and before even that we had animal-driven wagons. Likewise before electrification, humans were already using water power in the form of water wheels for everything from sawing wood to grinding flour. When I look back at history, I realize that humans have been innovating for millenia, so it's really hard to say if one thing was more "innovative" than another.

Yeah, it’s not as nice as macOS. There’s a ton of magic happening too, so I found it easy to get lost and not fully understand what was happening.

I had tried to compile some software that linked against macOS SDKs, and did not realise that Nix essentially maintains it’s own version, and it was quite tricky to adapt to it or get back to using Xcode’s toolchain.

I am not actually familiar with Tohoku/Joetsu Shinkansen (living in Osaka), but I can tell you that for Tokaido Shinkansen, dwell time is still very much a problem even with parallel platform.
For Tokaido Shinkansen, while the door only open for a minute or so, by the time we are leaving a station, the next train (running 3-4 min behind) is already pretty much pulling into the station.

Previously Tokaido Shinkansen only can only runs 14 train per hour (note that unlike Tohoku/Joetsu, Tokaido Shinkansen runs 14 tph over 350km of tracks, and not all trains has same stops), but after some optimization, including a procedure to reduce dwell time by a few seconds, they were able to push that to 16 tph.

I have a couple of exes that I wouldn't like to inflict in another human being.
The internet completely changed the idea of preparing to go somewhere. As a kid, when I went somewhere, I would (with parents' help) look at the map for directions, bring my documents in a folio, and make sure I had all the documents on my way back. I have fond memories first reading maps then printing out directions to go driving. When I was going to college I spent the weekend before classes started trueing up the campus map with the reality on the ground. And of course, meeting up with people was all about setting a common time and just having faith that your friends/family would show up at that time. Oh and every time I'd take transit, I'd grab the transit route book, or stare at a wall of train lines for minutes to figure out which combination of lines I needed to go where.

Now when I need to go somewhere, I open up Google Maps and tell it where I want to go and what form of transport I'm using to get there and I have a route. My documents are on my phone and now my forms of payment are as well. If I'm meeting up with someone and they're running late, they usually let me know through a messaging app. All of this really changed the pace of going places and doing things, _especially_ travel. This all feels mundane to us, but try dropping a kid who grew up in the internet age to navigate without their Maps app, and the vast majority of them (especially the ones that aren't outdoorsy) would probably have a tough time.

Chromebooks are very popular in education.
You are assuming it has enough value at the time you liquidate to pay the taxes at the cost basis the transfer took place. Very similar to stock options ending up worthless you owe $large_sum_of_taxes on because the value declined after exercise but before liquidity.

All my comment implies is that I wish to read such deep analysis, and unfortunately the article didn't provide one. I'm hoping other people can reply with links to much better literature on the topic of consolidation versus seperation in business and politics.
So you dismiss by attacking his character instead of refuting his claims by evidence?
> … 'coreaudiod', because it apparently is constantly listening to the microphone built in near the keyboard and spending cpu cycles trying to filter out background noise. Apparently running the signal desktop app in the background is enough to keep coreaudiod constantly wasting battery. Because signal is open and has been granted permissions for microphone and speakers, even if no call session is open?

There’s an app called Micro Snitch [1] that will alert the user when any application activates the microphone or the webcam and tell the user which application is doing it (including Apple’s apps like FaceTime). You could try it to confirm that it is indeed Signal that’s activating the microphone at all times and file a bug report with Signal. Listening in the background is a very serious issue because we don’t expect Signal to do that.

Edit: FWIW, I just remembered that I have Signal and Micro Snitch on an old MBP (running the latest macOS). I have never seen alerts for microphone activation when Signal is running (I don’t use it for calls from the computer). Nevertheless, if the coreaudiod issue is with an app using the mic, Micro Snitch may help.

>> a machine that combines high end power hungry hardware, adequate cooling for that hardware, and a compact form factor.

There is. You don't need to keep that hardware running 24/7. That is a problem in the OS and associated software. Apple could disable all these monitoring daemons and accept the tiny delays in starting various things, accept some fan noise, accept a mic that isn't tuned to a room, accept that the computer will take a few extra seconds to wake from sleep, accept that charging won't be lightning fast. But that isn't Apple. That isn't what Apple's customers want. Those seconds are precious. They want everything all services to remain at attention 24/7 ready to attend their slightest need. If that means burning a few extra watts then so be it.

I am not an apple customer. My laptop is currently turned off... properly off. I can live with waiting a few seconds for it to boot because my time is cheap. So is my power bill. And so is my laptop's carbon footprint.
Inflation Gauge Hits Highest Since 1991 as Americans Spend More
Yeah so profound and totally not shallow and worthless
Yes, I agree that governments have more physical power over most people and can employ physical violence. I do think that corporations can also employ violence, albeit of an emotional, social, or even financial kind, against their users. If someone has a digital store and for some reason, Amazon or Shopify or Visa or Stripe or Paypal kicks them off their platform, that could ruin their business/livelihood/etc., which in turn could lead to suicide or homicide or drug abuse, etc.

Again, I'm not saying losing one's online business is equivalent to being thrown in prison or many of the things governments can do to people, I'm just confused why people seem to be so afraid of the government getting too big and not also at least a little afraid of corporations getting too big.

This is an extremely confusing threat, given that sending the coins back would be the taxable event from the IRS's perspective.
No one, in their right mind would confuse "legal"and "not enforced." Most people understand the difference and would not use the synonymously. For one thing, a lot of people with principals would not do something that was illegal, even if it wasn't enforced (at least not knowingly)

No, Blockstream's thing was Liquid, an actual product that was supposed to make them money. Lightning can't really make them any money (they would get caught in a race to the bottom), unless they want to do consulting. Consulting probably would not give them much or any control.
I do not understand your concern about AGPL.
You seam to believe that connecting a proprietary system to an AGPL service is prohibited. It is not. AGPL only adds on top of usual GPL that source code must be available to remote users even though they do not exactly receive the software.
If you do not plan to modify the AGPL software, or if you do not plan to hide those modifications from its users, then I can't see what's the issue.
I have Signal open on my M1 MacBook Air, and coreaudiod is using 0.0 CPU. The app itself uses anything between 1.5 and 8% CPU just for being open though, mostly the renderer process. That's true even if the window is minimised or hidden.

With Slack open, coreaudiod also sits most of the time at 0%. Animations, scrolling and generally just using the app can make it go up to 30-50% for a few seconds, between the GPU and the renderer processes.

Marxism is itself not an ideology more of an analytical framework. The word we should both be using is Communist and yes Malcom X was a communist. "In 1950, the FBI opened a file on Malcolm after he wrote a letter from prison to President Truman expressing opposition to the Korean War and declaring himself a communist."
I do agree. Greed is not always the best.

You're right I forgot that all of these people acted alone, and that there were absolutely no young poor people involved in any of these worker movements. I also forgot that college students remain college students forever and don't become workers, probably went straight to wall street being rich and black in those times.

Most of the value in defi is in stablecoins and most prices are quoted in dollars. Some crypto stuff will have good value accrual mechanisms, others wont. The idea crypto displaces the dollar as a reserve currency is insanity.
This is not SCSI as you know it. This is “antique” 8-bit parallel SCSI. The protocols might be related but the signaling is most certainly not.
Early in the pandemic, I learned of an app called Dialup which offered a service called Quarantine Chat. They call my telephone at some random time every day, and I am connected to some other random Dialup user, somewhere else in the world.

Most often, conversations never moved past the awkward stage. I've not accepted calls from them for many months now, but I did have a few interesting/memorable conversations on the app, from people in my own city, to people halfway around the world.
I think the above specific scenario doesn't happen now, because the info is uploaded at a specific time and broadcast instantly to any interested parties. So modulo some millisecond differences that only HFT bots can exploit, everyone gets the info at the same time.
Used it as my primary for almost 3 years now. I often enjoy the variations in search terms that DDG offers me. Usually I am searching for something which I can articulate clearly and is straightforward to find. I would guess <2% of my total searches end up going through google. Probably 20% of my nontrivial searches end up having !g added to them.

The exception to this is mapping, which is just so awful I probably resort to Caltopo>50% of the time and google maps maybe 10%.
Agreed. Last year I went looking for a good domain registrar. Namecheap was one of the finalists, the other was Dynadot. Both have good prices and free Whois privacy. I transfered domains to both services to see which one I would like. After 90 days once I could transfer the names again, I transfered them all to Dynadot.

A couple of days ago, someone did an Ask HN for domain registrar suggestions, and this is what I wrote:

> About a year ago I compared all of the top registrars by number of domains registered, for domain registration prices and feature pricing (like paying extra for whois privacy and ssl certs), and Dynadot just about tied with NameCheap, but I liked Dynadot's interface a lot better. Dynadot supports token-based MFA, free whois privacy, and free ssl certs. They also pass on the domain registration "tasting" period to the customer (if you purchase a domain name but change your mind in X hours, you can cancel and get your money back, in credits I think).
