I’m talking about consumer choice. As a consumer, I can stop buying artwork from Etsy if their fees make the artwork more expensive than I’m willing to pay, and I can buy that same artwork from the same artist through other stores, if the artist agrees. But I can keep all the artwork I bought before. I don’t have to give it up to switch platforms. With Apple and the App Store, I do have to give up everything to switch to Android, which is completely a different proposition to switching away from Etsy. I’m locked into Apple’s platform, and Apple is abusing this to make prices exorbitantly high for me, the consumer.

If we want to talk about the developer perspective, then you’re making an even stronger argument that Apple has abused monopoly privilege and needs to be regulated as such. These iOS consumers aren’t reachable through other markets, only Apple’s. This is not the case for Etsy.

In both cases, the ability to choose is greatly reduced compared to other markets. The switching cost is high and requires a big sacrifice from the consumer, but then both Apple and Google have either directly or indirectly conspired to keep App Store prices at 30%, so switching between the platforms doesn’t even provide a real choice there at all.
Even if consumers gave up hydrocarbons there's still airlines, ships, trucks, anything involving commercial transport really. Not to mention power plants.

I'd also like to point out that in the US roughly half of all people can't cover a $1000 emergency. A 10-20% increase to one's electric bill (which is the lower bound of the 100% renewable options in my area, last I looked) is a vital concern for that demographic. Sure you can argue that the government/people/society should account for that such that they can afford the increase, but then you're not just talking switching the power grid to renewables (a daunting task in and of itself), but a massive social program along with it.

Sadly I have no hope that our current institutions or the environmental activists will be able to manage the transition effectively. Maine just said no to clean hydroelectric power from Quebec because they're concerned about the impact of transmission lines on their forest, and New England in general is burning oil power plants and importing liquid natural gas by sea to meet heating/electricity demand because they refuse to build any new natural gas pipelines.

But nonetheless climate change must be addressed at some point. Which means (in the US at least) we're going to put it off until the last minute, make harsh, blunt, stupid changes, and screw the people least able to afford the cost. Meanwhile those of us making 6 figures will be mildly inconvenienced, and those even richer won't even bat an eye, all while crooning about how noble they are on TV.
That definitely wasn't the impression I got back when I frequented it but I'm glad if they're more antiwar now.

You get a sanitized tour and multiple (daily) police checks, including police visiting your hotel at 11pm to check your visa number, and many, many areas are off-limits to visitors. There is no "talking with natives" as the natives are scared to talk to any Han or foreign tourists. And if you are seen filming or trying to interview or make a Youtube video where you talk to people, you WILL get arrested.
In any creative endeavor, be it lego or minecraft or anything else, you can endlessly watch the global greatest hits on youtube, things you have no chance of "competing" with. I have no idea how this affects people growing up in this environment. Is it stifling? Inspiring? Just normal, since you start out as a kid not knowing how to do anything and surrounded by people who do? How different is it really from how we grew up, listening to professional music, surrounded by professional visual art?

I don't know any of the answers. But I'm grateful that my kid can assemble a complex thing from a lego kit. For her, it looks empowering to me. And when she's done, she almost immediately starts tweaking it, then disassembles it completely within a few days and the kit ends up in the pile of assorted bricks for "free play."
These kinds of things seem so far-fetched, but they're happening.

That's why I think the stigma around conspiracy theories is harmful. It makes people believe that this kind of thing couldn't possibly happen to them... And if it does happen and they find out, they will doubt their own judgment as they'll be afraid that other people will think they're nuts for thinking that 'agents are out of get me'.

I suspect that most wealthy individuals and politicians are surrounded with foreign spies and organized manipulators.

It must be difficult being in a position of power. How do they tell fact from paranoia?
I once discussed one of these eye rolling things with a real life friend of mine over the internet and I finally discovered what "abolish the police" really meant to him. He was knowingly being intellectually dishonest in order to move the goalposts.

I've dated someone like that too and it only came out during an argument when I started writing down what she literally was saying and she finally said that her choices of words were how she felt in the moment, not descriptions of reality even if they seemed like that to me, the listener of what she was saying.

This has made my life so much better. When I hear something someone says to me now I have an extra filter to run it through. It's no longer a choice just between the person being dishonest about the facts or being unintentionally wrong about the facts. They could mean it in a different way.

I still think their way is wrong, but now I can deal with it in a practical sense, like waiting for someone to calm down or calling out intellectual dishonesty.
To be fair, iOS jailbreak scene was the birthplace of many UX innovations. However, since them the capabilities of iOS were expanded and jailbreak lost its popularity.
By analogy there is plethora of issues of the same nature (bodily deformation, handicaps, mental health, bi-polar disorder, chem. transmitters biases in the brain (congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis), xenomelia, and one can go on on just infinite spectrum of such conditions - these are biological realities which are going to have psychological weight in a person's psyche).

The issue is clearly (as argued in the article) a psychological one in the person's perception. But this is true for any condition. Anyone not self-perceiving to belong (be it real or just self-induced) to the social group(s) feels psychological forces, and coping with them are not trivial or automatically successful and there is nothing written in stone that such can even in principle be. I do not know any psychiatric study where such feelings can be objectively assessed to be based in biology [“biological factors cannot provide a complete explanation"], one such review can be found here [https://www.thenewatlantis.com/collections/sexuality-and-gen...]

Therefore, and also from self-consistency of the article, the conclusion to basically withdraw explicit knowledge of a child its sex/gender (ie. from it semantic environment or arbitrarily perturbing such) is not going to do what the article supposes. On the other hand, promoting tolerance and acceptance of deviations (from a shifting and non-constant multi-leveled standards) is highly desirable. Those values should be taught in open ended manner. Well, it is a complex topic and being open in a public debate is a good sign on society (though mandating a speech or remove free speech due to such issues would be foolishness and a step in the wrong direction).
At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself if you're OK with destroying the thing you love for convenience a small amount of convenience.

You usually watch news as if it was normal. You look at news anchors as if they were people, not corporate half-robots. Only such contrast gives you a chance to see them for what they are.

It claims to not work on macos as a secondary monitor, but it does work for me, however the sides of the "screen" are invisible/cropped, so to use it I have to carefully arrange emacs and firefox inside the visible region.

> People _do_ care deeply for the planet

They say they care. I'm sure they even believe they care. But at the ballot box, they act very differently.

Why does almost no Green Party win an outright majority in any European national election?

Why does half the US continue to vote for a political party that outright denies man-made climate change?

> our political and capital power to do anything about it has been systematically and purposefully limited.

By the current set of politicians. Who are ultimately voted in by voters. If climate change was really a top-priority issue for everyone, we'd have a different set of people in office.

If you think about it, voting isn't that much of a personal sacrifice. No one is asking people to ride bikes in freezing conditions, or go vegan. And yet, people can't even do that.

We could take action on CFCs by enacting laws. Because we had slightly more sensible politicians back then. If we want sensible politicians again, we have to vote for them.
Some apps are sold for a different price on the App Store and the Mac App Store, than if you'd buy it directly from the developer or a store on a different platform. On iOS you can obviously only buy an app on the App Store, with some exceptions.

I trust anything made by European companies, NXP, Philips, ST, Siemens etc., anything from Japan, South Korea, and most of the Taiwanese and Chinese companies.

Unfortunately, with some rare exception, they're not allowed to make x86-compatible chips, because the U.S. has worked long and hard to forbid the ISA, and everything used so far to implement it, from being standardised and thus kept under an unbelievable weight of patents.

Hopefully the build-up of more European fabs, and realisation that the EU has to make its own chips, will eventually remedy some of this.

How do crypto miners make use of the GPU's now? I did the sums some weeks ago, and even assuming free electric, the inflated price of the cards made it very difficult to become profitable. Best case, it's like 2 years before you break even
I had a similar experience at a company that made software that scanned text for social equality (i.e. it would flag something like "our guys make great bread") in corporate copy. I am pretty liberal but was still kinda nervous about not being "woke" enough, so when the interviewer asked me about times I had faced adversity I launched into a diatribe about breaking away from a conservative religious background and friction with my family etc. She was like... "ok how about adversity in your past software roles?"
Yes, communism is about that slogan. And anti work is about labor reform. Neither are true in practice.

Subreddit's changing their spots isn't uncommon, it's the norm for reddit.

The author has a very clear agenda here, and while they're welcome to construct a case for that view, they've left out inconvenient details while attempting to appear neutral.

The core issue is that the subreddit already had an agreement that no one would attempt to represent the movement or do interviews. The forethought there was that a reddit mod (or similar) are unlikely to be sufficiently prepared to act as a spokesperson for a politically sensitive movement. Doreen's actions were entirely self-serving and the subreddit was absolutely right to make a stand, especially as Doreen did not represent the community or its views - as given by the enormous backlash.

It's deeply disingenuous to suggest that the work reform principles of the subreddit are moot because a mod started the original subreddit as a protest against work.

There are facts out there amongst the near constant stream of BS on reddit. GameStop filed a SEC form [0] about disclosing a partnership with Immutable X, which is in the NFT space for games, not art.

The market for in-game purchases (like every mobile game for crying out loud) is huge. Epic games' Fortnite is 100% free to play but has a store for purchasing cosmetic stuff (and a lawsuit with Apple over this). There was $3.7 Billion dollars of revenue associated with Fortnite in 2019 [1]. Billion with a B. All cosmetic, in-game items.

What is reported as being built would be a marketplace for gamers, and possibly content creators (people that build mods, skins, maps, etc. for games if allowed) to buy/sell/trade these in-game items. Not $10k GIF's of apes or whatever nonsense. Instead of spending $5 or $20 on something and it sits on a gamers account, think of it as they could spend that and later on they could re-sell it or trade on a marketplace.

I don't think any of this requires blockchain or NFT. I think the companies involved are using that because it ticks a lot of requirements boxes for basically Digital Rights Management with sales/resales built in (I think via ETH/smart contracts).

As silly as buying pixels for a game may sound, it already is a large market and a company like GameStop getting into that could capture a reliable subscription-like revenue stream not tied to game console refreshes or used physical games.

What would be sad is if this is a revolutionary type of change to an industry (i.e gamers own the digital sword they bought, maybe take it from one game-world to another like in Ready Player One?) but is squashed by the volume of noise about "hedge funds r bad, boo wall st" every time the company is brought up.

I knew this would come up! "What happened to Lego? they use to be simple"
The cost of providing regular train stops can be quite high though, the more stops the less attractive trains become because it takes longer to get from A->B and it costs money to maintain the train station infrastructure. Why would motivated people not move to the competitive center? It seems unlikely they want to take the train and commute for a considerable amount of time?

Overall I agree that it depends on the particular situation, but if it costs several millions for 50 ish travellers from a specific station (an example from in this thread somewhere) that doesn't sound like money well spent.

What about the dads who are away from their families for weeks or months at a time, working offshore or on military deployments? Are they "bad"? I think some people just have a skewed sense of entitlement.
The bricks also look cheaper (slightly glaze-like surface) since they started using the same translucent-white pellets for all colors, just with different dyes added when injecting the moulds, instead of full-colored pellets, around 2000. It’s also a pity they changed the gray colors from neutral-warm to the bluish grays, which to my eyes slightly clash with most of the other colors. Along with the changes to the available bricks, sets and minifigures as mentioned in the article, this made me lose interest in "modern" Lego.
Disappointing. I was hoping it referred to working with someone like this [0].

It would be at least that, with a smaller contribution to the expectation from smaller cycles. That's why I said "on the order of", i.e. not much smaller.
We already have that bifurcation in the sense that the majority of programmers can use frameworks, libraries, etc. to get work done but don't have the deeper knowledge to build them well.
Two of my favourites, great suggestions. I was going to suggest Comeau but OP didn't mention an area of interest, and Comeau is very front-end focused.
If Apple didn’t do this, we would blame Apple for doing nothing to prevent dark patterns.
Uber has lost roughly $25 billion dollars to date, so any talk of profitability is ridiculous, even if you believe their “adjusted-EBITDA” numbers which simply ignore hundreds of millions in expenses in their last quarter.

I think the article articulates the counterpoint. Most movements start with radicals. A milder slogan wouldn't have gotten traction with the radicals, who actually do want to abolish the police. If the radicals weren't protesting, the mainstream wouldn't have taken notice and come on board. This leads to a conflict of views within the protesters and ultimately the revision of the slogan definition
That depends..

"Just a second, I need to backdoor the SHA256 rootkit to penetrate the directory. Shit, they have an X62 firewall. Luckily I brought my pentester."
I agree with this. In my professional past I always pushed back on kernel modules unless everyone on the project agreed that once installed this was no longer Linux but rather a proprietary appliance and the 3rd party is now responsible for the uptime and security of the server. The DevOps and operations teams are entirely off the hook for supporting that appliance. I won most battles, lost a few. There was always some vendor trying to sell a SSD card that required a kernel module instead of just presenting itself as a generic SAS devices really a really high queue depth.

I would make an exception if someone managed to get Linus Torvalds to sign off their kernel code. Nobody ever bothered and there were always awkward but predictable silent pauses from vendors.

Oh and add to this all of the servers handled the most sensitive data to ever touch the internet. Vendors would sometimes entertain the idea of their code getting 3rd party code and security reviews but it never got past the idea stage.
It's shocking to me how people just made fun of her for everything possible. IMO she explained her position well, and didn't say anything outrageous. The "laziness is a virtue" line specifically seems to be something that people point out as a terrible take, but with full context it's easy to see that she's just promoting more rest and healthier conditions.

It's ironic to me how a subreddit that advocates for less toxic workplaces, can foster such a toxic environment.

I completely agree with your take.
I well understand that he's a popular indy developer. He can still be wrong.

They might have said "years of experience" because the candidate was lacking some important skills that Shopify needs in their senior engineers, and Shopify felt that the candidate was plenty smart and the only reason they hadn't learned those skills was a lack of time and opportunity, which a few more years in the industry would likely cure.

Sometimes the handful of words that filter through on the internet don't do justice to the reasoning behind them.

>> Expect more from managers that report from you

As a middle manager I hear this all the time. Unfortunately the "shit flows upwards" mantra seems to stall out before it hits the top of the pyramid, so any talk of "owning fault" leaves me skeptical at best.
Yeah, that's why I qualified by saying it's on adjusted ebitda. The ridesharing industry doesn't use GAP yet under the argument it's still a nascent industry, so the narrative right now mostly centers around showing a trend towards actual profitability quarter after quarter (as opposed to this narrative that 1B+ losses are still somehow just being masked by VC cash injections of equal weight).

The being public thing is especially important since it basically means these companies (Uber, Lyft, Grab, Didi, etc) can't rely on cute accounting tricks. It's kinda do or die before the runway ends.
> [...] where each major version upgrade breaks their code?

> [...] randomly change their APIs every couple of months [...]

This is just FUD. Breaking changes are announced long-term via deprecations, so they don't catch you out of the blue. Every major release of the runtime has three years of support, so nobody "randomly" changes their API every couple of months.

I find Google to be a funny example, by the way - picking that one company axing another project or API every other day.
I read it as “they said they were hiring for X and I wanted to do X, but actually all the work was Y”.
