Where this fails for me is that the 2x4 is a standard. And it's simple. And it's universally acceptable. I can send my wife and my kids alike to buy one from who knows where with little to zero instruction. They can work with it with ease. The "ecosystem" fades into the background. But modern software ecosystems are the exact opposite. You spend more time trying to learn/master/navigate the ecosystem than you do working with the metaphorical 2x4. To make matters worse, getting a 2x4 has been temporally stable for a long time. Not much has changed since my grandfather could send me to the store to buy a 2x4 on my own. But software ecosystems evolve and migrate weekly. Your argument demonstrates that all developed fields create ecosystems. But it does not address the issue that not all ecosystems are equal. Some are good. Some are bad. It's my opinion that modern software ecosystems look more like the British Civil Service than the ecosystem that produces 2x4s.

This is also my suspicion, although I've heard that NYT's subscriptions are doing as well as they've ever done and while I wouldn't describe NYT's journalism as "click-bait", they've certainly engaged in more than their share of overt ideological propagandism (which isn't unique to them, but part of a landscape shift away from aspirationally objective reporting).
That is exactly the type of example/article/blog OP didn't wanted, too technical, TC article is about AMP for email but first its describes what AMP is and does, why is bad and why google is pushing AMP for literally everything it can. It's less technical more down to in tone for less technical savvy readers.
People definitely own rental properties in self directed IRAs. You have to be completely hands off - must hire property management, can't fix anything, etc.

Indeed, that's fair, I'm not sure if Java would have been the right choice in the case of cloud infrastructure. I mean, at the application level I would always pick Java over Go for something like a distributed analytics engine, streaming or just swarms of microservices. Our new smart traffic simulation system is written in Java with the client in TypeScript. But the infrastructure it's all Terraform and Go utilities. It's a rewrite of an old system which was in C++ with Lua embedded. Maybe today GraalVM with native image fixed some of the issues, plus Valhalla will make it even better but that's still a long way to go.

That may be the case but they are casting a very wide net. The numbers I've seen say there are on the order of 100k-1MM self directed IRA accounts that exist. Approximately 0% of which are lucky enough to be Peter Thiel and invest in founders stock of Paypal.
Weird flex(sic) but OK.
Yeah, that's also the real headline here I think, and the thing to be worried about: around 2000, every group was at around 50%, give and take a few points. Nowadays the "trust in media" is as polarized as anything else. No wonder Democrats and Republicans can barely agree on anything anymore...
I do know x86 for example has things like the STOS/STOSB/STOSW/STOSD which specifies a lot of behavior for a single instruction, and combined with the REP prefixes is a pretty elegant way to do memory block operations. I don't think 68000 had anything like that.

I've actually known quite a few people that liked the society depiceted in the novel. I had one friend that felt that it was ideal because what was depicted was a less painful version of the mindless drudgery that most of the world spends their life in, and those that don't fit in are sent somewhere where they can be themselves (Falkland Islands) He saw it as a better version of the divisions already present in our society. (His opinions, not mine.)

I've found the novel to be a bit of a Rorschach blot since people read their whole view of current society, and their place in it into the novel. As has been pointed out, Huxley was an artist, so his interpretation of his novel is heavily guided by a creative personality, and for many creative people, individuality is one of the highest goods. Others read their own views into it, and interpret the novel very differently. My personal reading has some sympathies with Huxley's version, but it is not the same. I'm not a fan of the way society (both at the macro and micro level) is structured now (or in 1932), so there are aspects of BNW that appeal to me.

Related, I joked that a friend of mine was having a "first world problems" moment when he complained that his broker wouldn't let him short-sell GME in his IRA.

For those that have been alive long enough to witness the transition, the internet shift to clickbait is just continuing a trend that was ushered in by 24 hour news cycles.

News being "all the time" is the true villain here. When news was infrequent and on a schedule, stories had to compete for relevance and often wouldn't dominate airtime and our thoughts nearly as much as today.

I'm like OC and that won't work. I scan the produce aisles for good veg -- the ripe, flavorful stuff that didn't get bashed in shipping. Sometimes, it's the meat aisle -- I might find a better than average cut. With a handful of excellent ingredients, I've got a basis for a meal. Apps can't touch that, because I don't get the fully informed selection that I get in the store.
Agreed. What's the point of me being liberal if I can't my explain illiberal choices glibly.
It didn’t have to be that way. If Apple had sensible policies that stand the test of regulatory scrutiny this wouldn’t happen. Now that lawmakers get involved I will expect the worst outcome for customers, or as you succinctly put it „we lose“.

I think the challenge here is that when people think about wealth creation they directly associate it with a net productive activity.

In theory A & B can satisfy their own needs in the above scheme. Or we could have a village where everyone satisfies exactly one other persons material needs. These activities do not result in net wealth creation.

On the other hand if A makes X and X is consumed by B through Z then A has freed up B through Z to do something other than making X. Even then there is an argument to be made that some forms of production are self-limiting in that society as a whole cannot continue to be more productive if everyone is involved in specific kinds of high labor, low scalability activities which do not lend themselves to improvements over time.
MicroGPS Sees What You Overlook
Same as with an IRA, though, it's intended for retirement savings and there are penalties for early withdrawal. The issue here (right or wrong) is self-directed IRAs being effectively usable for things other than growth investments.
I mean, I was specifically referring to people who mistrust the media. I think it's the media's fault for this - "these" people seem absolutely rational and correct in their mistrust.

However, that doesn't obviate the need to have factual information about the world. Goings-on in local communities and nationally. So I am curious - where do they get their knowledge from?

Do they trust local sources and ignore national ones? Are there specific personalities they listen to? Is it all Facebook and YouTube, all of the time? Or do they just not watch, or use large grains of salt when they do watch?

Anyways, I am legitimately curious and I do think it's a problem that no one outside the left trusts the media. If that isn't a blatant condemnation of these media companies, who squandered that trust away, I don't know what is.

My intent with the analogy wasn't to suggest something Apple would do but rather to put forth a scenario with similar boundaries and that is easily relatable.

Apple doesn't currently control their cellular baseband or NFC chips. Both chips interface to external systems running standardized protocols on infrastructure outside of Apple's control. Both can be used to access any compatible network.

With Apple restricting NFC to Apple Pay, they're basically slapping a surcharge on any competitor's banking product regardless of who it is.

You can spin this as Apple fighting back against Big Banks, but you're the one paying the Apple tax not the banks. It also pushes out small credit unions who can't or won't pay the Apple tax.

No.

They feed signal in to the brain.

In the early days of Facebook, I really liked it. Like you said it was nice to see what everyone was up to. Then it changed, and the signal to noise ratio went to about 0. I had to unfollow so many people because I got tried of all the political stuff (from both sides). Anymore my feed is just ads.

I don't see how people enjoy it anymore. Guess they like all the doom scrolling.
> semiconductors also employ people in surrounding industries... like software developers, microwave salespeople, (these days) mechanics, specialized clean room equipment procurement.

Entertainment employs these from engineering side too, in addition to the industries that specialise solely on art, fashion, and event management - these entities are not included in your comparison of total revenues. For instance, nobody buys tourist tickets and books hotels to go to see a new chip from an Intel factory. Thousands of people from abroad do it to visit filming- and entertainment- related events such as red carpets and conventions. These are also the events where celebrities spend money and donate to popular causes.
I think he jumped his own shark a while ago when he left The Intercept [1] and has been writing some articles that sound reasonable but then veer into BS pretty quickly.

"And that is Facebook's only real political problem: not that they are too powerful but that they are not using that power to censor enough content from the internet that offends the sensibilities and beliefs of Democratic Party leaders and their liberal followers, who now control the White House, the entire executive branch and both houses of Congress."

This is just fringe, nutty stuff. The media is indeed doing what he says they are nut they are doing it because that is what they always do when they have a story they want to be a part of to try to feed off the popularity.

It is insidious and messed up in almost exactly the reasons he mentions but not for the reasons he thinks.

Such a frustrating decision. Whether you like nuclear or not and no matter how bullish you are on renewables, I don't understand why they wouldn't wait until they'd shut down every other carbon emitting form of power generation. This plant is so reliable as a baseline power generator.

>I view as an unabashedly good outcome

Possibly. I can't complain personally, The shift from defined benefit to defined contribution retirement savings has probably been generally positive for those with the ability/discipline to take full advantage of 401(k)/IRA. The flipside is that relatively few people (mostly public sector) in the US now get a more or less automatic defined retirement payout from a pension.

Of course, the shift isn't just tax code changes. Traditional pensions also largely encoded long-term employment with a single organization.
We use those examples in our page:

https://about.homechart.app

Homechart is similar to sorted but adds more "household" features like budgeting and recipes. Unlike sorted, you can self host it.
Yeah, that changed too. But I think the reason for that is that many left.
I'd expect people who are actually doing this are rolling over large 401k balances to self directed IRAs rather than saving up a couple thousand a year.

Entrepreneurs can put up to 58k a year into a Solo 401k
One of my more controversial opinions is that tax advantaged retirement accounts should be eliminated entirely.

Almost all of the advantages of them accrue to the top decile of income earners. Why should we have exceptions in the tax code just to help richer people amass more money?
Your facts are correct, but I disagree with your analysis. But yes, this is "shootings that took place at a school" not mass shootings.
I don't think the clickbait is the real problem.

The media in America is 100% dependent on Gell-Mann Amnesia (https://www.epsilontheory.com/gell-mann-amnesia/) and some have pushed it so far that it's starting to wear off.
Nuclear is the only hope we have to fight climate change
By that definition US Treasury bonds will be a ponzi.

Currently, the US Treasury pays old bond holders by a combination of tax revenue and by issuing new bonds. However, each year, a bigger fraction of old bonds are paid by issuing new bonds. Over time, this will lead to almost 100% of old bonds being paid by issuing new bonds, and then they will be a true ponzi.

It says that those types of transactions are prohibited between the plan and a disqualified person.

Does it prohibit those same transactions between an investment within the plan (like an LLC) and a disqualified person?

I mean, if I own Apple stock, I can buy things in the Apple store.
What I like about Congress - is instead of saying "this provision can allow you to do well for retirement by investing in private companies self directed with an IRA and you might not need social security". Instead they act: "we're not rich, we're mad at the few who are - so instead of teaching you how to do this, we're going to make it illegal"
Peter Thiel has a $5 billion Roth IRA
The problem is paying for the drug. We lack socialized healthcare in the US. How many people will forgo treatment because they don't have $700+ for a pill. By the time the patient is in bad enough shape to be willing to beg/borrow/steal $700, it's too late for the treatment to be effective.
I can’t think of a single major news outlet that is trustworthy. They still provide some value, but you need a heavy dose of skepticism.
Facebook is other people. People have killed each other by the millions, and now that violence is playing out in the non-physical space. We shouldn’t be surprised.
> The income has already been taxed

This is not true - traditional IRA contributions are made pre-tax.

I don't think Pocket is bad. I think browsers do need an external footprint on the web, or integrated features that make it more than just a window to run sites on. Google Docs, Office 365, Pocket, Brave Rewards/Search/Talk/News, Vivaldi's integrated notes app, mail/rss features. It's just the reality nowadays.

This essay puts forth good arguments, I think: http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.Posted_2021_09_06.ht...

The VPN service is a bit iffy as said in the essay, in that it derives its value from other actors being shitty rather than providing value by itself, but Pocket is genuinely the sort of stuff a browser maker should have. It makes the web browsing experience better and helps combat link rot by giving you hard copies of things you come across.

Of course, most vocal Firefox users don't want it, they seem to want a utopian FOSS browser ran purely on donations, but the amounts of money probably just aren't there.
I didn't state any facts. I started with "I bet" and included "must be". Those are pretty clear opinion markers.

Your reply is also confused. Is the majority of money laundering denominated in USD and other real currencies? I'd believe it, because that's where the money is. But I'm saying the proportion of Bitcoin transactions that are fincrime-related is surely much higher than that of total USD transactions.

This seems pretty obvious to me given that Bitcoin is much less useful for quotidian transactions, but much more useful to people engaged in assorted financial crime. That's unsurprising given how much cryptocurrency advocates tout privacy/anonymity as features. But if you think otherwise, feel free to show the data that has convinced you otherwise.

Also, it's bad form to read something, go on a rant, and then declare the conversation over. Especially when the rant is incorrect.
I hate it that not enough peope hate it enough for there to be hope.

Its just mind boggling that society can self-devour in this way, but apparently its part of "how things work"
More recently, ProPublica showed that Peter Thiel (and others) did the same thing. Thiel amassed $5 Billion into an IRA that's nominally capped at $6k/year in contributions.

You say you have to use one or another, but have you considered Dropbox? I find it way better than the competition.
So your argument is: the law is restrictive enough that poor people are going to stay poor, thus you can safely ignore the consequences for them and create additional laws to restrict “rich” people. An extraordinary entitled and comfortable perspective shines through strongly here.
I was also interested to know what "double-digit premium" actually means in this context. I feel like the order of magnitude are confusing to me.

Like, they pay people $10-$99 more, or they pay people 10x-99x more?

Neither seems a plausible interpretation of the statement.
