Most likely he wouldn't.
The second statement is false equivalence. The equivalent comparison would be "if you took someone from the assembly line and make them CEO, would Apple's cost grow 1000% in ten years?"
> then is the fusing of sex and gender truly progressive?

Accepting trans people is about separating gender and sex, not fusing them.
I think this is a Franz Kafka quote
The views on centralized services such as Infura really resonate with me. A few months ago I looked into how Ethereum and smart contracts work and got excited that there is basically this shared "virtual machine" with persistent, public state that can only be altered by interacting with those smart contracts.

But soon after it became clear that it is not really possible for me (or any regular "client" as the article calls it) to look at the state of the virtual machine and evaluate view functions myself. The block chain is so large already that we need to rely on big servers which are operated by other people to do this.
Why not use Github Pages without Cloudflare? It also supports native IPv6 if that was the reason.

This is the first enlightening article I have read about Web3. Maybe that says more about how little I have read than about how good the article is.

Anyway, Moxie seems very focused on the decentralization aspect - that Web3 doesn’t decentralize as much as we would like.

An alternative aspect is the “global ledger of ownership and transferrence” though. Yes, interacting with blockchains is hard so it is some through APIs… but there does still seem to be something important about the idea that my ownership of something on a blockchain is permanent, and exists outside of any corporate notion of ownership, in a deep mathematical way. That’s fundamentally appealing!

But is it appealing enough to overcome market forces? I think Moxie is right to spend a lot of time on the “nobody wants to run servers” thing because it shows that most users are powerfully motivated by convenience; if the mathematically-beautiful blockchain ownership records remain inconvenient then they are likely to be a niche attraction (like running your own mail server).
AVX-512 gives RPCS3 a pretty hefty boost, though that is arguably a niche consumer use case.
In total, he earned $98.7 million, compared with $14.8 million in 2020.

In September, Cook received 333,987 restricted stock units, in his first stock grant since 2011 as part of a long-term equity plan.

"CEO received first stock grant worth $55M in a decade after the company adds $2.5T in market cap in that same time period"
I'll be honest I had no idea that access to Ethereum is effectively gate-kept by two centralized entities (Infura, Alchemy). I knew there were only one or two true Ethereum full-nodes, but the impact of that never quite clicked.

[edit] By "full node" I meant "archival node."
I run a homelab, and also run a shared server for a few folks.

The hardware is easy. The software can be easy (if you let it). The things that are tricky:

1. Getting different software to all play nicely from the users perspective. I can't even give my users SSO because most software doesn't accept reverse proxy authentication!

2. The gap in average computer skills. Some of my users are engineers, most of them are not. My average user needs help with password resets, remembering URLs and very basic tasks. "Upload a file" is a _difficult_ task for the average user.

3. Feature requests and keeping maintenance reasonable. A lot of my technical users will ask me for feature after feature.. but not put in any time or effort to set things up or maintain. I'm one person and I set a hard cap of how much maintenance I'll do in a week, and that is a big limiter of stuff.

I have toyed with just charging my users a bit per month and hiring someone as a basic tech, and honestly more of my users would rather pay a monthly fee than actually work on the servers themselves.

In your other quote you said they were "thugs who use firearms against police" but here you say they aren't fighting the government (police are government) at all. Your words are contradictions.

"Real civilian" is apparently anyone without the will to fight. It sounds dangerously like the Russian propaganda against Chechens when they were simultaneously calling the rebels "foreign influencers" (no real civilian would fight the Russians!) while simultaneously sending secret police to genocide or jail military age males.

Oh please, stop lionising common armed thugs. They are not "defending", they are THE cause and the target of a shoot to kill order. There are already 19 from "MVD" reported dead. A shoot to kill order would be implied by default in any developed country, as soon as the first serviceman was wounded, especially with a firearm. It's surprising that the government did not respond properly and in time.
"Don't do work in the constructor" is an OOP principle that must be decades old.

The problem with Python and Ruby is that being dynamic it makes them real easy to do highly lightweight OOP. There's just a cultural disconnect in the OO world where once you get past objects wrapping data the design patterns tend to come from the Java world and quickly descend into explaining dependency injection containers that nobody uses in Python or Ruby. There's a bit of a cultural middle ground which is not well defined due to the history of how it all evolved.
> has become, "we must centrally plan all economic activity according to political exigencies,"

Could you give some examples of popular Western politicians currently advocating for centrally planning all economic activity?

If you stretch "all direct CO2 emissions" to mean the same as "all economic activity", and "taxing after the fact" to mean same as "centrally planning", then maybe 10% of Western politicians and voters would support what you're afraid of.
Great article that hits home with a fear of mine. I'm not afraid of aging or dying per se, but I fear a day when I'm no longer physically or mentally capable of working towards ambitious goals. I'm an extremely goal oriented person. I need to always be working towards something "big", whether it be a personal project, releasing an album, learning an instrument, landing a cool job, etc. I fail more often than not, but just the fact that I'm working towards ambitious gets me out of bed in the morning. If I am no longer capable of mentally and physically draining tasks like this... what will motivate me to get out of bed?
Because my line item - insurance payment is only $2350 out of pocket me for the year, the tax hike according to what we make (delta to our current taxes) would equate to a years worth of mortgage payments, which is a gigantic difference. In addition california already has a low income health plan called "covered california" so low income families are already covered without the need for doubling taxes.
1) Yes, and it was from a stock award for him hitting targets set in 2011

2) From https://www.ft.com/content/17ecb0a0-8e60-4d02-b1fc-f497c9e31... [paywall]:

"Tim Cook’s triumph as Jobs’ successor has been so unparalleled that the numbers don’t speak for themselves so much as they scream: Apple’s market value has grown by more than $700m a day from when Cook took over in August 2011 to this week when it struck $3tn, before falling back."

I think 1/7th of one day's market appreciation for ten years' work is fair.
I very much doubt the C-Suite could take over a busy store with no training and run it. Customer interactions require skill. Knowing how the register works or how to order more inventory requires training. I have no doubt they could do it with proper training.

I also have no doubt that if you took a random apple store employee and gave them Tim Cook's education that they could be a passable CEO.
My #1 expectation would be that they are built to benefit the individual, not the corporation that created it.
If you read the section "Recreating this world" it addresses this pretty directly

I've referenced the study twice in about 50 comments, and only in the past 2 days. Not exactly frequently, and I even acknowledge I'm reposting it in the OP.

Incredibly disingenuous to assume everyone that disagrees with you (and with factual data noless) is a bot/shill
Yes. Just because it's possible doesn't mean it's easy.

I'd love to see appliance-level servers become standard, but you'd need Google or Apple to throw their weight behind such a thing to make it usable, since decades of server software/hardware development has failed to produce things that require less-than-professional-level users.

I'd love to buy an off-the-shelf box for my network, have it act as a back-end for all my Google cloud-based apps and email and serve my blog and my photos and automatically encrypt and back it all up to a cloud storage system. But none of the big players are interested in that kind of thing, and the small players can't create replacements for the entire Google or Apple or Microsoft server/client architecture.
> addition california already has a low income health plan called "covered california"

Covered CA is the ACA exchange, not a public low-income plan.
These are amazing points, #2 being one of the biggest peeves.
one of the coolest features in Jon Blow's "jai" language is how, in lieu of making "iterators" a first-class language feature, instead you can define a "for_expansion" for your structs, which then lets you define what it means to iterate over your struct with a "for" loop. that's neat on its own but then you can actually redefine what "break", "continue", and "remove" (keyword that you can use for whatever you want but semantically it's supposed to be "remove item from collection during iteration in a safe way that doesn't affect the rest of the for loop"):

Foo_Storage :: struct {
items: [..] int;
some_other_data_structure: Bar_Storage;
}
for_expansion :: (using storage: *Foo_Storage, body: Code, flags: For_Flags) #expand {
for something: some_other_data_structure {
for `it, `it_index: items {
#insert (remove=#assert(false), break=break something) body;
}
}
}
foos: Foo_Storage;
for foos { /*...*/ }

I've never seen anything like this in any other language and I've found it to be an incredibly useful tool to have at your disposal.
I've been very interested in native C++ development for web-services and other applications. However the development experience always seems like an after thought. I really don't want to role my own package manager or build process - why isn't there a pip/cargo/mvn etc. for C++ devs?

Non-existence is one of the most profound qualities of existence itself IMO. I don’t think it’s weird to be fascinated by it, or to continue to be mystified by it without drawing the same conclusions you have.

His point is that a majority of people don't want to bother with the cognitive overload of running a server. Just like you could build your own car, very few want to. Often they don't even care what kind of car they have. As long as it can get them from home to work and back again without killing them.

>Median is an average and usually the most relevant average, in the cases where you don't have a distribution where the main averages (median, arithmetic mean, and mode) are all the same.

Huh?

I can assure you Apple can darn well calculate the median and average salary for its employees.
The first person to make this discovery (as far as we can tell) was Daniel B. Sedory aka The Starman, whose illustrated PC DOS 1.1 boot sector page is much nicer than anything I could put together.

I highly recommend his site too --- there's plenty of boot-sector analyses there, explanations of the PC boot process, and other low-level information presented in fast-loading, script-free ad-free HTML from someone whose goal isn't to make a quick $$$, but rather to share information freely. In other words, a great resource of the "document web".

As for this article, it also reminds me of "junk DNA" sequences, which could have similar relevance to biological historians.
"ma", "pa", and "da" are all among the first sounds a babbling baby typically learns to make.

(As an aside, in my native language Finnish the most common word for mother, äiti, is notably not a "ma" word. It's apparently a loan from some Proto-Germanic word that has itself disappeared from extant Germanic languages. However, Finnish does have its own ancient "ma" word that means "mother": emä or emo, which is still in use when referred to non-human animal mothers, in poetry, and in a figurative sense in compound words such as emolevy "motherboard" or emäalus "mothership".)
Are you talking about physical On-prem systems or just buying a basic ec2 type server and renting some storage space? Because wouldn't the first one require a specific business line to an ISP for networking, which would require an office space and other associated costs? Or are you referring to renting a vanilla server and rolling everything yourself vs using some automated deployment and build pack system?
No kidding. Apple has added $2,500,000,000,000 to it's market cap since Tim Cook took over in 2011. If you think "anyone could do that" then I don't really know what to say.
Even the author walks it back in the article. CA is "practically" or "roughly" doubling its taxes (and removing insurance costs). The clickbait headline though? "DOUBLING"
This is the right decision. Honestly does NOT need editing by the FDA or Pfizer. They should publish it all as-is right now! What do they have to hide? Criminality? Malfeasance? Not a problem if everything was done above-board!

So what you're saying is "because I personally don't see the benefit, I don't want the rich to be taxed higher", and for some reason are conflating your middle class income with that of the uberrich?

I don't think anyone is suggesting "Hey, let's increase taxes on those making under a million a year". But there is no good reason that the people making a billion a year are paying the same 37% as the people making $600k.

Please keep in mind that Al Capone, notorious gangster, was convicted of tax fraud because that was what they were most able to readily prove and put him away for.

Sometimes cases hinge on what the rules readily facilitate rather than on details that one might find more morally satisfying.

Those cases may be brought for the right reasons but the law sometimes is at odds with going after someone "for the right reasons."

You could consider it a kind of legal hack. It happens fairly often both in crime or legal drama shows and in the real world.

Exactly. You can be out legitimately sick for 2 weeks, and then take a full vacation!

That's why it's such a breach of trust here to take a sick day in order to relax. A sick day is to recover from illness.
> People don’t want to run their own servers, and never will

This kind of gets at the reason why I think a lot of tech articles/blogs about what the future will be like are just terrible. The wants of someone who is driven enough read and write about the bleeding edge of technology are very, very different from the general population. Like this author says, most people don't want to run their own web server, but I'd go even farther and say, most people don't really care about decentralization or even data privacy. Getting most people to care about privacy and decentralization is like getting a kid to eat vegetables. They know they should, but the alternative has more short term benefits. I think most people care about ease of use over almost everything else.

People who write these articles need to be thinking about the middle aged woman who still calls every video game system "a Nintendo". There will always be some users for technologies like web3, but until you can clearly demonstrate to that woman that this new technology has value and is easier to use than the status quo, you're never going to get mass adoption.

Connecting this back to web3, we're clearly not there yet. Almost anything being done on web3 is slower, more expensive, and more complicated than its web2 alternative. We may or may not get there one day, but until we do, I don't see web3 being anything more than a niche product.
It is very annoying in business. Arguing that two outcomes are equally likely when one has happened many more times than the other is an exercise in frustration. It takes a certain level of courage, charisma and stubbornness to argue that there is no evidence that 2nd best is just as good as best when there is a measurable difference between two options.

This is a big contributor to why markets perform so well in my humble opinion. People who see past the gambler's fallacy to the actual odds of things working get rewarded, and the people who assume the current leader must be doing something different and better than the competition get punished.

> When your variable disease is expressing its worst symptoms, you are likely to feel better in the future

This is the influence of time & the healing process, not a regression to the mean. Symptoms in a given sickness' progression aren't random variables in a practical sense. It goes no symptoms -> bad symptoms -> lingering symptoms -> better (or permanent symptoms, bad luck :[ ).
A deep dive into this stuff is certainly useful. The question is, of the people who were offended by shallowness of people saying "this is obviously garbage though I can't be bothered to investigate it", how many will say "ah, so here's a thorough, technical and soft-spoken explanation why this is all garbage, thanks".
Review: Adders and Arrows
I wish you well and I hope you win.

I am pessimistic though. I don't think people really understand how much current homeowners do not want additional housing to be built. It makes sense if you consider that the net worth of a typical homeowner is very substantially made up of a highly leveraged long position in real estate. If that position goes south - because of an increase in housing supply, or because of undesirable new people moving into the neighborhood - the homeowner's net worth could be decimated.

Now, most people will not come out and say directly that they are opposed to new housing for the obvious economic reason, because they don't want to seem selfish and greedy and maybe racist. So they have to find a socially acceptable cover story to oppose new housing - environmentalism, concerns about safety, etc etc.
Last time Apple replaced it's CEO with a string of unsuccessful CEO's it ended up on the brink of bankruptcy.
I wanted to say that I appreciate his approach to stating why he isn't sold on Web3: thoughtful, succinct, diplomatic, and based on the results of an open-minded experiment. This is so much more of an article I'm ready to engage with than the the "crypto is a pyramid scheme, don't you get it you morons!?" articles.
If you randomly took someone off the assembly line and made them CEO, yes, that would paralyze the company.

Conversely, putting Tim Apple on a cash register would just slow down 1 cash register.
I mean, I get that. I have a mailbox on my house. Letters come to it. I don't think about it too much. Bits come to my house all the time but somehow those trillions of computations keep flubbing this basic functionality.
Azov Batallion may be far-right but I think the real reason why they're mentioned here is because they helped kick Russia's ass in Ukraine and were instrumental in the early fighting all the way up to Donetsk Airport. Russians are butt-hurt their ass were kicked by pathetic neo-nazi ideology.

Like it or not, Azov Battalion is partially responsible for why Ukraine still has as much territory as it does.
Yup. This reminds me of the ‘introduction’ of an old hacker simulation game from 2004 that was quite prescient.

“ In the year 2012, the corporations of the world paved over the Internet, designing their own network system. Keeping the same name, they developed a system where every piece of information was audited and paid for before it was passed on to the world at large. Those who still followed the ideology of an open and uncontrolled Internet gathered what resources they could and formed the SwitchNet. Build mostly out of discarded technologies and backdoors in the current Internet, it allowed some manner of uncontrolled communication around the world. The "Hacker Outpost" is in need of new recruits to perform missions in information gathering against the corporations, which will allow them to increase the presence of the SwitchNet in the world.”

And the slightly different press release one:
“ In 2012, a new Internet was introduced--one that prohibited users from posting anything on personal home pages, prohibited them from using software of their choice, and from having an e-mail address. Having no place to stay, hackers created the SwitchNet, an underground network operating on the old wires and infrastructure of the original Internet”
Not defending it (I think it’s relatively appalling) but this isn’t really out of line with CEO pay elsewhere.
There are probably many adequate CEOs already within Apple, making average compensation. You seem to believe CEOs are minted; they all move up the ranks like the rest of us. If the skills are there to lead a company, investors don't care what their last pay scale or job title was and trust the Board or Directors in who is appointed.
I don't know how the purchasing gets set up, but couldn't all of these just be separate products? 7-day trial, permanent version license, upgrades for two years...all with different prices? Does Apple prevent you from applying more than one to a single app or something?
