Oh dear. How do we go from:

> I'm not suggesting that the information that you provided is in anyway wrong or fraudulent,

To

> Lazy, lazy and lazy.

I'm not sure addressing your comment point by point will help, but I do think this thread and your comments make for good examples of common mistakes/fallacies people fall for.

To begin with: The original commenter asked "What is it about Apple that makes them hard to leave?" and that was the context of this thread. Your comments focus on what I said, without providing anything useful to the bigger question. You may want to ponder over what you're trying to achieve here.

Now for some fallacies, whose names I wish I could remember:

The first one: Assuming the other party has the same information that you do. Clearly, you found something quickly with a Google search, and therefore I either did or didn't really look at the Google results. This ignores:

1. Google gives different results to different people.

2. Google gives different results for different queries.

3. Google gives different results over time. You have no idea when I did that Google search.

Fallacy 2: If someone has the same information as you, they should arrive at the same conclusion as you. I think this is self explanatory.

Fallacy 3: If someone has the same information as you, and they didn't arrive at the same conclusion as you, then that is attributed to something negative. Examples are poor reasoning skills, laziness, maliciousness. This should also be self explanatory.

Also, some reading comprehension skills may need to be upleveled:

I never said I'm against iCloud for backups.

And:

> and you’re being lazy when generalising about users of a given platform.

Can you point to the generalization? I reported what happened. How is that a generalization?

> The pro-level DAMs certainly do this. Even as an amateur, using separate software to manage importing and organising files seem like a a pain.

Not sure why we are even discussing this. As I said, everyone knows what you are saying. Darktable made a choice not to do this and they provided their rationale. Their decision has been discussed to death on the Internet. You are welcome to disagree with it, but what does this have to do with the whole thread? A Mac user wants to use Darktable, and is asking reasonable questions.

Still not clear why you bring Linux into this. I'm sure assholes exist amongst them. My experience with Linux forums, though, is that while assholes exist, there are usually others on those forums who will answer the question. Still - even if your experience differs, what is the purpose of pointing out that other cults exist? If a cult is problematic, it is problematic regardless of whether they are unique or not.
Software development sure has come a long way, now we can change what the screen shows when you click a button!
Don't determine the users language by the country the request is coming from. My browser wants English, despite me being in Germany, so don't show me the German page. The good thing though was that besides the language selector nothing else was translated.
Considering the efforts troll farms put in during the previous election cycles on reddit, I wonder if what we're seeing in places like /r/antiwork is more or less the same. Subversion by nation-state troll farms fomenting intergenerational strife.

> Most educated Chinese people at least speak English to some degree, they're heavily exposed to Western popular culture

So, anecdotally that's your experience, ok. I don't think a greater exposure to pop-culture necessarily makes on better equipped to talk about the ethics of censorship, forced labor, and the dangers of centralized systems. I'd wager as far as substantive information goes, the asymmetry you're describing doesn't exist.

> I don't think watching CNN or reading the NY Times regularly will confer even a basic understanding

Most people, educated or not, know this. Thankfully we have access to the entire internet and the entire body of human literature, even among those not tech savvy enough to use a VPN.

My argument is not 'cable news does a great job', my argument is 'the wests liberal access to information and wealth affords it's affluent and educated a more complete and clear picture of the world', which you are failing to rebut.
>I just meant companies worth exorbitant amounts of money... like $1T+ ... not sure on the amount though..

Yeah, no potential for a slippery slope there at all. Nope, none.

>Do you work for them or the government?

Neither. I just think setting arbitrary, ill defined lines for denying fundamental rights is dangerously authoritarian.

Although, noting your beliefs in this regard and now your paranoia, I truly hope you never sit in a position of actual power.
I have too much faith in humanity to believe that the thing which beats out every other clearinghouse over sufficiently long timescales will be “dedicate unimaginable amounts of compute to find one meaningless number and in doing so commit 1Mb of data every 10 minutes (slower than ancient dial-up connections)”.

I clearly don’t know what that better thing will be (I have some vague ideas…), but still I can’t convince myself that Bitcoin will ever be humanity’s best-engineered clearinghouse.
Correlation is not causation. I'm sure those new laws saw a lot of press and surrounding commentary around the dangers of drunk driving as well.

"Why would any company take a profit when it can invest in it’s own future "

1) Because it's almost never the opportunity. 'Super High Growth' over a couple decades is a rare thing.

Imagine if AMZN had not invented AWS? It would be a different story.

2) The term you are looking for is 'Cost of Capitol'. Which varies between various parties for different situations.

If ABC Corp. can't yeild returns past a threshold, investors will want it back to do elsewhere.

Think another way:

If you had $1M to invest, what are the odds that it makes more sense to invest it in your own business vs. any other business?

Why would amazing 'Bet Everything' on AMZN instead of any number of other companies?

If a company is making decent profits, and a lot of powerful companies do, then it may be difficult for them to find other ways to get the same return.

Bitcoin is like the "http://" of cryptocurrency. Public balances, public transactions. We need that little "s" on the end. Taproot doesn't come anywhere close. Monero and PirateChain are the leading "https://" contenders, in my opinion. There is lots of competition in the privacy coin space so everyone will have different opinions here.

I think the link is meant to be https://pagespeed.web.dev/report?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.co... - a perf report on the Google homepage. When I click the link from HN it pulls up a performance report on the performance report service (which is also bad.)

It's fascinating that according to the report, someone on a Moto G4 would have to wait over 6 seconds for the google search page to be responsive so they could type in a query.

I saw a TikTok of your book another day, & saved it. Would love this for my future kid.

How do you manage sakes tax collection & other stuff like shipping & such? Assuming you are in US. Do you use Shopify or Etsy or dome online one? Did u apply for a seller's permit to deposit sales tax? If manually, how do you calculate sales tax, because its based on buyer's address right?
> report a profit to their investors while at the same time reporting losses to the IRS

i wonder how the tax rules and accounting/SEC reporting rules could be tweaked such that the IRS and investors must receive the same level of reporting - aka, if investors see a profit/loss, the taxman must also see the same profit/loss

I try to broaden my horizons and get out of my tech bubble, so I like to learn how artists think. I don't think I could do any better than David Byrne "How Music Works" which is surprisingly and satisfyingly technical, along with musical, and Patti Smith's "Just Kids" about her time in New York City starting out with artist Robert Mapplethorpe at the Chelsea Hotel. Amusingly, she meets Alan Ginsburg when he tries to pick her up thinking she is a young man.

In the same vein, not books but documentaries, I learned a lot from three Andy Warhol documentaries on YouTube: "The Life of Andy Warhol", "Andy Warhol - The Complete Picture", and "BBC Modern Masters 1of4 - ANDY WARHOL"

From those I learned about the art business, how much Warhol loved money (he left an estate or around 400 million dollars) and how much of this applies to today's world of art related NFT speculation.
So different from modern utility based CSS…

Your "today" options can push their way into Amazon's market, and eliminate the unnecessary Amazon step...

Wal-mart is certainly trying to do just that. Amazon had to drop their the minimum order value for free shipping back down when Wal-mart took the offensive.

As far as I'm concerned, Amazon is already imploding. Their search engine has become nearly useless, returning whatever the hell it wants, rather than what you searched for. It keeps getting worse, not better. Have you compared the item counts when you sort by Relevance versus Price Low to High? Where did they disappear to? What the hell is wrong with their site?

I used to place thousands of orders from Amazon every year, now I'm down to dozens, just occasionally checking them before buying a large ticket item to see if they've got an incredible price on it. And even then I only go through and buy from Amazon when nothing leads me to believe it might be a scam / counterfeit / mislabeled / etc.
I’m a big fan of Fathom. I switched from GA to Plausible and then to Fathom. Fathom is the only one that has reliably been able to log page views in Firefox and bypass ad blockers. Also, they’re great people and I value their stance on privacy.

Many people seeing this weren't alive when you were a kid.

I heavily encourage people constantly demonstrating how to competently do things using conventional systems.

I've gotten into many arguments over this stuff. Not that these simpler approaches don't work, but they lack the formality and theater.

Some people need to see stuff like this every day until they stop creating giant towers of spaghetti that don't do anything
I believe I have subscription fatigue. I'm so very tired of all the little subscriptions, rather than "buying" things (such as it is). Part of that is the subscriptions that are easy to add but hard to remove, those really burned me out. Having the guy at my old Internet service say "I thought we were friends" when I called to cancel, really hit the wrong way.

I have two Toyotas and have been considering a third, if we give my wife's old car to our daughter when she starts driving. But this $8/mo for remote start really irked me. The idea of $8/mo for something I use a few times a year, that'd just stick in my craw.

I understand it in the case of cellular network sorts of features, but remote start doesn't seem like one of those.
A significant advantage of the two column journal format (although still they end up feeling pretty clunky on a phone).
That’s a good point, let me rephrase by saying I would not purchase the car in the first place. This is something that would stop me cold in my tracks.

I've been running an Ethereum validator node for about 7 months. At current ETH prices I've been theoretically making about $600/month. The ETH earned from staked ETH is not accessible until after 'the merge' which is expected to be sometime in 2022.
I found a factory on Alibaba. I started with a list of about 40 factories that seemed legit and might accommodate a small order (MOQ in their terminology). Since it was a custom shape that I wanted, I shared my designs, and after a bit of back and forth, I eventually settled on 4 factories. I paid for a sample from each, and one factory was far superior. I then had to negotiate down from a MOQ of 2000 units to eventually do a first order of 200 units. Once that one sold out, I ordered 400 units, and now I order 1000 units at a time.

Fulfillment is done in house (I live in Toronto), and the warehouse is my basement!

Happy to answer any other questions :)
Who says anybody's doing that? If I come to work for you, that doesn't imply I'm not doing anything else for money. And, nobody's saying to accept pay for work you haven't done. The article is simply saying to set expectations low. If expectations are met, then, by definition, the agreed upon work is being done.

So Ive bought two cars this year, a 2013 Kia and a 2022 Subaru BRZ.

On the Kia, the first day I used it the radio just froze up. I had to get a tooth pick to push the hidden reboot button. Every time I start the car the volume on the radio is deafening even though I turned it off at a low volume. It also attempts to download my music off my phone even though Im using spotify. Every time. There are firmware updates... if you have the 2014 model. The worst thing it did is randomly dial 911 when my phone was connected despite absolutely nothing having happened.

My BRZ has a more modern setup, that absolutely does not work with apple car play. I had it working for ten minutes and then it just randomly stopped. This is a brand new car and a brand new phone. Also replacement keys are absurdly expensive in order to provide me the benefit of... not turning a key? Its a stick shift so remote start is pointless since someone has to press the clutch in.

Im basically better off with the aux port.

Yes the internal engine electronics are nice but my experience with anything in the cabin is that it quickly becomes trash. The thing that annoys me is that when I inevitably have to replace these things, Im certain its going to be incredibly overpriced and I will have used like zero of its broken features.

The car I used to have, a 2013 FRS... perfect. Very basic stereo. All analog guages. Nothing went wrong ever.

Why? Labor with capital is incredibly more useful and productive than labor alone. We aren't any smarter today than people a couple hundred years ago, the main difference that makes our lives much easier is we've built up various forms of capital over the years.
There’s a competitive advantage in being the brand that has the best resale value. The economics of pursuing that reputation aren’t always going to be a slam dunk, but it’s not worthless.
>freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.

Freedom of speech is literally freedom from consequences:

>Freedom of speech[2] is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction.

Note the "without fear of retaliation" part. Retaliation for words is the litmus test for a lack of freedom of speech.

Ok I don't really do YouTube either, save the embedded clip here and there :) So I wasn't aware of that. Videos as a content format don't really appeal to me anyway.

I did check one and I don't find it a huge difference. In particular I noticed that Google is much better at keeping state for follow-up questions. Something that bothers me with Siri.

But the other answers were pretty much the same. I won't change it for that :)
I have never found this feature useful. In cold places you tend to leave the heat on to keep things stable. Same when it is hot and humid.
TIL the number represents how many times an app has been (re)downloaded, not how many active users it has!

Makes perfect sense really... especially considering it's so easy to assume "downloads" = "users"...
Hmmm, is this using the Private iCloud Database/Container feature by any chance?

If so, I wonder if you'd get a warmer reception if you explained this. It's an interesting feature of iCloud that really isn't replicated anywhere else and is actually very cool.

I considered building an application like this awhile back when I realized how you could make the invitation links cleaner than the default ways iCloud handles it, but the landscape felt too crowded for one person. I like the design and approach though - good luck!
I love how I can have lots of floor lighting that’s easily controlled with IoT bulbs and power switches.

Definitely. Although one of the reasons I do check other answers is that (at least for Java) the accepted answer is oftentimes Java 8 and then one of the other answers has a Java 11+ version that is half the LoC.
I'm curious about what kind of consequences you think that investigative journalism deserves.

Individual contributor, as distinct from, say, an executive, who is someone who actually might get an employment contract in the US. I apologize for the confusion.
Here's an even bigger secret, if you're doing server-side rendering, putting things on top might actually be better.

You're maybe parallelizing things. As the client is downloading and interpreting the css and JavaScript, the server is doing database calls and rendering the HTML.

So you actually are doing things on the server side when you're "blocking"on the client. You didn't get this for free. You had to worry about buffers, flushing, and plenty of testing.

I don't know if you can still squeak an actual speed up with this technique (there's many attributes you can use to customize things these days) but I used to use it all the time back in the days of platter drives.
Exactly. Strict penalties work. Make the death penalty the punishment for every crime and there will be no more crime! Brilliant!
I wonder if it's a better idea to drop reverse compatibility and simply have a Java2.

Given how well the language is defined, they could almost certainly compile Jv1 classes to Jv2 classes anyhow with minimal impact probably.

They could fix a couple other things along the way.
That would be a dumb home then. A smart home would be properly insulated and a lot more passive, it wouldn't leak as much heat and wouldn't be cold when you get home. All without "smart" tech or burning extra fossil fuel.
