Regarding your #3 point - one idea is the people at the top could take a cut in pay/bonuses (that will never happen) to raise wages of those at the bottom of the corporate ladder, advertise they are a better employer than their competitors and provide better service to their customers by being better staffed.
If you take the premise that there is a set amount of wealth, and that it changes hands from one person to another, then that is fair. However that's a false premise. The act of labor (including the act of organizing the labor of millions of people in a productive way) creates net new wealth.

Now, we can argue about Jeff Bezos specifically and we can debate what percentage of his equity is by creating new wealth versus what percentage was a transfer from e.g. underpaying his workers, but that's very different than saying being a billionaire is itself morally wrong.
Yep, I develop a media software, something to handle live audio, video.. I tried last year to upgrade from sse2 to sse4 and got bug reports from users the week after, apparently a lot of people still use old Phenom and Atom boards...

I remember using the OSS drivers and even paying for the commercial version at one point. The experience was great, and I hated it because it was a repudiation of Open Source, which was a big part of my identity back then. I had sold out to the man for working audio… but work it did.

I also think misconceptions about Occam's razor are to blame. It's a good heuristic for choosing which hypotheses to test first, but a lot of people seem to misuse it as a heuristic for which of two propositions is more likely to be true, which is unfounded and very often leads to incorrect conclusions. It's basically on par with "there's no smoke without fire".

People tend to assume that if they cannot prove P and cannot prove ¬P, then ¬P must be assumed to be true. This is of course not correct at all, and most propositions can be rephrased so that Q=¬P and ¬Q=P.

If there is no evidence either way, then neither P nor ¬P is supported, and we should remain uncertain.

This is a multi faceted issue: Browsers are the most used pieces of Software, so vulnerabilities are critical to your systems health. I think if Updates were disabled by default, there would be insecure browsers nearly everywhere because I would not likely click a "Would you like to update?" popup. But this comes with the catch of changed functionality and in this case changed data behaviour.
This is exactly what Reader View does. On my iPhone the address bar flashes “Reader View Available” when I load that site. But you can also get to it from the context menu that includes other website settings.
>It has also put hundreds of millions of people into poverty.

That's a little disingenuous considering that poverty is the natural state.

>Any system that rewards winners is going to see people lose.

All economic systems reward winners, such is the nature of reality. The question is what constitutes "winning". In a functioning capitalist society, ideally "winning" is primarily based on merit and utility. To what degree we have that now is debatable but it does look like one of the better systems we've created to date.

C64 I guess this wouldn't be of much use

Correct, and even more - the Commodore 64 used a 6510 processor, not a 6502 processor. They're similar but there are significant differences.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_6510

Beyond that, a 6510 isn't the only thing you really need to emulate a Commodore 64. You also need a SID Chip (MOS 6581) for sound and a MOS VIC-II for display and a number of other things.

Here are the facts about that which I know:

- Someone who has been vaccinated is several times less likely to catch it than someone who has not.

- Someone who has had it and gotten better is several times less likely to catch it again than someone who has been vaccinated but has not caught it yet. (This is one definition of "natural immunity.")

- For some reason, many registries won't count a positive test followed by a negative test as evidence for immunity.

The first two are clearly laid out in the Israeli study and are what I'd call "the scientific consensus," gathered by reading what actual scientists are saying. I'm lost at the jump from the first two points to the third because I can't see why it's done that way. The media is not completely silent on natural immunity, I think I saw one article about the Israeli study somewhere.
Imagine you're a business with 5 million dollars in revolving debt, at a 2% interest rate. You have $100k in debt service costs.

If interest rates go up to 5%, you have $250k in service costs. Most businesses operate close to break-even (in efficient markets), and many will immediately go under. If businesses go under, that triggers a recession cycle: Those businesses lay off employees, who stop buying, driving down revenue for everyone else. People anticipating layoffs/furloughs/etc. stop buying. Hiring goes down too, since businesses start planning for rough times.

People buying on credit (anyone with a credit card debt) also find purchasing much more expensive, together with higher bills on existing debt.

A whole bunch of business opportunities also disappear in a poof of smoke. If a business has even a 1% expected real return, and interest rates are zero, it makes sense to borrow money to start that business (especially if inflation is also high, giving effective negative interest rates). If a business has an expected 1% return and interest rates are 12%, then I'm bleeding money. For these kinds of opportunities, think less SV startup, and more just normal businesses (e.g. I buy something and sell it a month or two later).

All of this piles on to form a recession.

Look at the formula for discounted cash flow. It's a widely used valuation model and applies to lots of companies, especially those in the growth phase where current market cap is largely dependent on expected cash flow far into the future.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discounted_cash_flow

Notice the denominator in the series - (1+r)^n where r = interest rates and n = number of years out. The more r rises, the more terms at the end of the series drop out because they're so close to zero. So that effectively means a company that's getting its value from cash flow 10+ years from now loses a lot of its value if interest rates are rising.
The Soviet Union consistently had the highest GDP growth in the 20th century with a centrally planned economy. Russia transformed from a backwoods feudal mudpit into a global superpower. Some aspects of China's economy today are still centrally planned, and they continue to have excellent growth. I'm not saying every aspect of the economy should be planned; but the opposite -- giving complete lead to the anarchy of production -- has proven to be disastrous for average working people.

The big shift in my thinking came from understanding that negative thoughts are indeed logical for the most part but not necessarily conducive to good outcomes. So to actually be successful you have to adopt cognitive distortions that lean toward optimism and action. You can't win against negative internal dialogue with rationality, so the only way to get past it is to be unreasonable. Reject any negative thought with prejudice as soon as possible, like in few milliseconds, at least until you're healthier. This overtime trains your mind to think fewer of those negative points. Which in turn allows you to focus on good things and kinda delude yourself into taking action, actions tend to lead to better outcomes.
While I don't ordinarily approve of whipping out the law hammer to solve every problem, this does provide a little food for thought.

Instead of a gub'mint telling Apple "OK, you have to let there be an app store free-for-all right now" and Apple watching its work descend into chaos overnight, there could be a middle ground: "OK, you have to let there be an app store free-for-all in five years." That could give Apple a good amount of time (and it already has the money) to harden iOS as much as it can.

(I'm only half-way through reading the Apple document, so maybe this is addressed later.)
> Those mandated apps still go through App Store review.

They could just have an alternative interpreter mode to support batch files, or even have a cmdlet that does just that. If people like to point and click, associate that with a cmdlet (they can do that, right?) and there you go.
Those are not comparable other than that the GDP growth you reference IS that trillion dollars you also reference, and then some. It's essentially like switching to buying everything on credit card to keep up the facade to your friends that nothing has changed, in spite of the fact that your business is bankrupt/you lost your job. The GDP will still go up because you are buying things, but that does not change the fact that taking on one trillion dollars in debt or embezzling one trillion dollars from shareholders of your company is a good idea.

That implies that religious people are not rational and that the only true philosophy is atheism. Atheism relies on its own assumptions though like the existence of logic and the ability of the human mind to rationally analyze evidence, both of which have to be taken on faith.

Agnostics also have to assume that a human brain is capable of weighing evidence in a reasonable way.
> and perhaps marks the end of a long process of continuous refinement of INS technology.

Submarines are the main target for highly precise INS development over the last few decades. GPS doesn't work under water, so they rely on dead reckoning navigation over long periods of time, only getting a 'proper' fix on the rare occasions that they surface.

Also, militaries prepare for situations in which GPS isn't available. The simplest case for that being jamming - GPS is a weak signal so fairly easy to jam over an area.

Is there a limit on the number of in-person quarantine checks you're allowed before they haul you off to a government holding facility? If not, the activist thing to do is to install the app and never respond to it. If enough people do this, the government will very quickly run out of resources for doing the in-person checks. Increasing the cost of compliance by throwing sand into the gears is a time tested method of combating this type of thing. If there is a limit before you're imprisoned, it takes some more personal sacrifice but imprisoning people for quarantine consumes resources too. How much of the population is the government willing and able to imprison?

> That's a spammer, by definition.

I don't see any evidence of being a spammer.

According to @SimianLogic, they had 300,000 users. If they are sending about 1,000 emails a day, that would mean that each user is receiving an average of 1.2 emails a year.

There is also a monthly newsletter that goes to 30,000. That means that in addition to the 1.2 emails a year each user receives, 10% of users receive an additional one (1) email per month. Given that only 10% of users receive the newsletter, I'm assuming it isn't too difficult to opt out.

This doesn't seem like spam. Rather, IntroCave (now IntroMaker) has hundreds of thousands of users and therefore needs to send thousands of emails.

>I absolutely believe that if given the choice of getting over $1200/month on unemployment versus making the same but working, most people would choose not working. That seems so intuitive to me.

This seems to be a rational choice to me as well if you define work as "shit I don't want to be doing". If you were paid $1200 a week for playing with puppies, you probably wouldn't mind going back.

I think what the OP was alluding to was that it caused people to evaluate the nature of work. I'm not saying it's a purely rational decision, but probably a largely emotional one. When your norm is working a miserable job and you are given a reprieve from it, emotionally it may be that much harder to return.

One may object that it's government's fault, not Apple's, as they're the ones pressuring for this kind of censorship. But it is Apple that made these chains for their own benefit, knowingly exposing their users to this risk.

I'm less mad about the cleaning service and more mad about the pace of responses and the fact that I got 3 different responses from 3 different customer support reps who apparently didn't read any of the prior history in the thread.

I think the shutdown is totally valid and a good practice, but my initial ticket started with (paraphrasing): "ooooops, my bad for forgetting to migrate my bounces to the new domain. I've paused that campaign until I can clean it up." It still took almost 2 days to get reinstated after jumping through a bunch of unrelated questions.

Sure, it was on a weekend. I'm also slower at responding on weekends. But I also choose not to operate a mission-critical business specifically because I don't want to be on call on weekends. Maybe don't autoban people if you can't respond in a timely manner?
You know, that comment at first seems hyperbolic, and then:

> As we outgrow the need for professions such as lawyers, bankers, insurance agents, marketing and advertising personnel, salespersons, and stockbrokers, a considerable amount of waste of human ingenuity will be eliminated. Considerable amounts of energy would also be saved by eliminating the duplication of competitive products such as tools, eating utensils, pots, pans and vacuum cleaners. Only a few of the highest quality products would be needed to serve the entire population instead of hundreds of different manufacturing plants with paperwork and personnel turning out similar products.

Ah yes, the waste of jobs we don't see the point in and bottom shelf products we don't buy. It's rarely that an admonishment like "ah, so just communism, eh?" is actually technically correct. The waste argument is my favorite because it is the polar opposite of the entrepreneur's argument: instead of making something people like, their aim is to aim something that will do and eliminate all other competition: efficiency! That communists do not see that ultimately -they- are the most brutal capitalists is an irony so rich and deep i'm practically bourgeoisie for tasting it.

The history of the VW Beetle is very similar. Why make loads of cars? So wasteful! The people should make just one, great car! Ah, the giant megafactory we were promised was built to make our VWs is making tanks? Shucks, so much for power and capital! Decentralization isn't efficient, it's resilient.

As they have held wildly different positions over time, they have surely been wrong and indoctrinating children on those wrong policies for decades. It's somehow assumed that they're either getting it right this time (if you voted for this group) or they'll get it right next time (if you're voting for the next group).
When you consider incentives, you have to think about more than just what one average person would do.

I'm glad it's not an update to 10. I simply cannot fathom who at MS thought the taskbar "updates" (regressions) were viable. If they made this just an update to Windows 10, then I would have to be stuck on an old version, because something that I rely on is no longer working correctly.

How hard have you tried disabling services? My optimized win10 has 27 services set to Automatic start, and 33 RUNNING total, while fresh install is around 70 Automatic and ~100 running (with stupid shit like few xbox services for people never playing games, or handwriting recognition on a desktop). Then there are 140 Tasks enabled by default. Half of the stuff I had to disable didnt really want to be disabled and required playing with permissions or impersonating TrustedInstaller - Microsoft really wants that clipboard and hand writing telemetry uploaded regularly.
Most of society seems to have a problem with the notion of allowing someone else first ultimately means faster for everyone vs the asshats that actively speed up to block/deny someone from being able to merge ahead of them.

The stability of the currency is mainly decided by countries outside the reach of the US's internal propaganda, because of the enormous debts and reserve currency status. I agree that a population which wouldn't go for Qanon would also make them quit invading countries in the middle east and south america, but depending on how this crazy business plays out, leaving Iran alone may be a small price for them to pay.

I hate to invoke Godwin's law, but business people loved Hitler all around the world right up until his propaganda machine shut out their influence and he started invading the other half of their markets and supply chains. If the people running our country have learned anything from history they will quit encouraging irrationality and gullibility some time before the curtains close, so to speak.
> The primary purpose of sideloading apps is to get the app downloaded and play it for free.

I don't believe this is true. This is demonstrated by open source software on many platforms installed directly by end users without a curated store.

You also missed Windows 3.11, which I recall was good (not sure where Windows For Workgroups fits in...)
I’ve been fully off Windows for about a year now but if I was using Windows I’d be a bit upset if I had bought the non-free version that Windows advertised as the last Windows OS you will ever need and now they are going back on that. That’s classic old Microsoft behavior.
