Yes, Apple is increasingly competing with Governments of the worlds, in taxation of digital ecosystems, I am sure as they sabotage this market by these steep taxation, their will be blow back from governments as well after lobbying form business, They are not so small now like Nintendo that they can get away with this steep cuts.
Problem is that governments will retaliate by arm twisting apple to approve third party app stores, which will be bad for whole iPhone ecosystem.

Then why not write an article advocating a higher taxes policy? Taxing doesn’t magically make money multiply in fact a donation managed properly can endow a charitable organization indefinitely that is never the case with government taxation since taxes are always spent and never invested. Your argument makes no sense.
The thing that kills me is even these investors seem to see Peloton as a hell of a lot more than it is. The “peers” they list are Netflix and Roku. No. Peloton’s peers are NordicTrack and, you know, other companies that make exercise equipment and sell fitness subscriptions.
You're just describing class struggle and industry, not capitalism specifically.

Capitalism was once revolutionary against feudalism, as the bourgeoisie replaced the nobility as the ruling class. But that hasn't been the case for centuries.
The complete insane thing from the Netherlands is is that almost 25% of the drilled up gas beneath Groningen, and is causing earthquakes on a regular basis, is actually used to create fertiliser from. As far as I understand that is done because the yield from synthetic fertiliser is higher than from animal dung so unless I’m missing something we’re actually trying to get rid of a lot of the dung by exporting it as well. Though I’m not entirely sure what happens with all the excess dung. I believe most of the organic dung is not yielding enough to be economically feasible and thus gets exported.
Wouldn't 51 rounded to 50 be a 2% change?
That is nowhere near practical.

MP3 became popular in the 90s, but the way to consume it at that time was using WinAmp or similar on your PC. Although the first flash-based mobile MP3 players were released in 1997 - the I-had-never-heard-of-it Saehan MPMan (https://historictech.com/product/saehan-mpman-f-10-worlds-1s...), they didn't look anything like the player in the picture. The iPod was released in October 2001, and the one from the picture is from 2007.
> I thought courts already decided in the US that the public has a right to access official government communications on social media.

They have not.

They have ruled that when a government actor uses social media for official communication, the government actor involved cannot also restrict access to and interaction with that content in ways that they would be prohibit from limiting access to official government communications not made on a private platform (e.g., by engaging in viewpoint discrimination), applying the limited public forum doctrine which is much older than the web.

I have observed this mindset of "I need to move to <foo> - everything will be so much better then!"

I've never understood it. I have had a few friends follow through on this - after several jumps from continent to continent they are still not happy and are planning their next move to Canada or NZ or whatever, because this time it will be different! I was wrong all along! I really should have moved to Austin rather than Berlin then Tokyo then San Fran then Toronto then Auckland! This time will be one where I get the perfect job and find a partner! Ignoring that everyone "back home" has managed to be successful/happy despite the apparently unfixable "problems" with living in <foo>

tl;dr - IMO they're running away from problems rather than confronting them.

For live action I believe this is the case. For example the 48fps version of The Hobbit was very uncanny, and the makeup and SFX were too obvious.

But for purely animated films I don't think this is the case; there's no makeup or SFX to hide. The bigger issue would be budget I think, and tradition.
There is status to being a published author people have heard of or with some acclaim. Not really outside of it. Poets with published chapbooks, or novelists published indie, or even mid-list authors don’t really have much status. Also if you write romance, forget about ever getting respect from anyone, even other authors.
I'm very confused about this comment - how is losing 40 operational satellites a "great way to test the resilience of Starlink launches during a predicted geomagnetic storm"? And what part of this is "great PR"?
I am a little bit more optimistic now knowing they are going to US for its IPO instead of LSE. Which tends to host crazy valuation with much more volume and investor willing to bet on technologies. Still, not entirely convinced it could do $40bn+. I actually think there are enormous opportunity for GPU, but they dont seems to be interested.

I also sort of disagree with Value investing as a bygone era. It is just I have yet to see any one who does value investing actually understand anything about Tech. Because it is not something simple enough like Coca Cola or McDonald, so they are much harder to evaluate.

But Yes, it will be fun to revisit this thread then. :)

It has been getting worse recently. Publishers are encouraging institutions to adopt programs that use dark patterns to force students to *rent* ebooks for the same price as purchasing textbooks new. The default release date for telling the student what book to buy is the first day of class, but reading and homework is assigned that same day. Unless you want to go in person to a book store and wait in a long line (or rent the ebook) you are going to be a week behind schedule waiting for a used book to ship from an independent marketplace.

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/11/07/inclusive-acc...

More recently I was required to purchase an ebook that included online tests and homework hosted by the publisher. There is no 3rd party marketplace for that content. There is no way to get a refund if you do not use it. Publishers are allowing professors to outsource basically all of their lesson planning and content development responsibilities and pass the cost off to students. To add insult to injury, that product is setup to allow each institution to be the sole distributor of the license to their students and charge an additional markup to mail you a physical card containing the product activation code and offer no digital delivery option.

I added two extensions that made Twitter 10x better: 1) Minimal Twitter, 2) Bot Sentinel.

Minimal Twitter lets me disable all advertisements, all topics, have a chronological feed, etc. Each of these things is individually toggleable so if you want topics but want to get rid of everything else, you can. It also makes the UI much better.

Bot Sentinel makes it easy for me to unfollow people who are constantly liking, retweeting, or replying to disruptive/misinformation accounts, or when they themselves drift into that area. It's not perfect. Completely normal, kind accounts who happen to be politically active and on the more conservative side will often have a higher disruption/bot score despite never doing anything disruptive themselves. I assume it's some NLP algo in the background lumping them in with the crazy misinfo bots based on some words in their tweets but really who knows.
Regarding the interesting bit (to me) in there about the advantages of FPGAs over an SBC like the Pi (speed)- does anybody know of any blogs or projects where an FPGA's speed helped in a hobby project where software running on an SBC wasn't fast enough? I can imagine a few, mostly real-time projects involving expensive computations (image or pattern recognition maybe?), but I would love to see some concrete examples.
Sounds like an expensive situation.
this is exactly how i think about it too. Only diffs counts. so main goal in life is to create as many diffs as possible.
The battery is already sealed, and 1 atmosphere isn't a lot of pressure to contain. It might even be able to be pressurized to quite a bit less. Regarding the electronics, engineering-wise that's a solved problem. And it would only need the drivetrain and charging electronics.

Show HN: Bbb – an easy way to build and compile Clojure CLIs with GraalVM
No I'm not. I'm very specifically describing the economic, ethical, and moral foundations upon which capitalism is built and the effects it has on economic and social progression. Effects that have been observed and consistent across numerous nations transitioning from numerous economic and social systems to and from capitalism.

Regurgitating Marx isn't going to be effective against someone who has a more holistic understanding of capitalism and its roots. Funny given your accusations of "Americans and children" considering Marx was a literal man child.

I've been learning Clojure recently and loving it, but one thing I've found myself missing from my Golang days is how easy it is to build and deploy CLI tools in Golang.

With GraalVM it's finally possible to compile Clojure apps into static binaries that give your users a deploy and startup experience similar to Go's, but I found GraalVM very difficult to configure and use, and was often frustrated because not all JVM code is compatible with GraalVM. Worse still, because native-images take a while to build you often don't find out that your working JVM Clojure code won't work as a native-image until it's too late.

BabashkaBins/bbb is my attempt to fix this: it lets you easily run the same codebase under babashka or JVM Clojure, and will automate compiling your project to a static binary for you using GraalVM's native-image. It also takes care of collecting some tweaks that make it easy to use the cli-magic [2] library under babashka, which means you can easily make complex CLI tools with nested subcommands a la git or docker, with all the bells and whistles.

Since babashka is itself compiled under GraalVM, this arrangement provides a other few nice benefits: 1) babashka starts quickly, so you can test your CLI from an actual command line without waiting for the JVM to spin up each time. 2) babashka's codebase contains a treasure trove of GraalVM related tweaks and fixes that using bbb lets you take advantage of in your own CLIs for free, and 3) it functions as a quick sanity check since babashka itself is compiled under GraalVM. If you find yourself doing something that's not GraalVM compatible at least you'll know early!

I'll always hold that we peaked technologically as a civilization (in terms of technology serving humans, and not the other way around) around 1997. We had everything modern; e-mail, the web, instant messaging, cell phones, SMS, video chat, digital cameras, MP3 players, video games, etc. but none of the insane dystopic social media driven algorithmically controlled corporate hellscape nightmare we have today.

> If they substituted javaScript with any of the other popular general purpose languages no one would be any worse off for it

This is what I'm talking about. This is not going to happen any time soon. And all attempts to do this only lead to more confusion. It is easier to just learn it and help making it better. The language improved a lot over the last few years so I don't see why replacing an entire ecosystem, browser implementation, libraries, writing transpilers, etc, etc, etc can be any better than just learning to love it as the tool it is.

And let's say in some parallel universe it could be replaced. What is it going to be replaced with? Go? Python? Rust? Everyone has a different opinion so there is no agreement possible. And having any and every language available in the browser is just a wild dream.

So, yes, JavaScript is not perfect. And probably there are a ton of better languages but trying to avoid it and write everything in Go/Clojure/Python/Whatever is ridiculous. That won't happen any time soon. Not using JavaScript is just self inflicting limitations oneself.
> The overwhelming majority of ethical and moral progression in human history coincided with the extension of private property rights to more and more of the general population, and retracted when those rights were rescinded.

Why is it always the "objective facts" brand of capitalist activists that can immediately after do an extraordinary subjective - and biased - interpretation of a weak historical correlation?

That's just blatant historical revisionism, with clearly no attempt made whatsoever to try to disprove your own claim. You'll have to surgically remove at least 80% of Capitalism's history for it to be even close to true. Even then, you have many societies in "human history" that certainly would argue that their "ethical and moral" progression was significantly better than today's.
Sounds like malware to me.
Cyber-attack at Vodafone Portugal knocks mobile network services offline
just as a data point to this. I worked for a PepsiCo, massive company. The position requires a PhD and you have to live in metro NYC, pay was only 80k.

So not just professors, but a lot of positions that "require" a PhD pay poverty wages when someone has given up any kind of earnings for 5-6 years developing skills getting a PhD.

There is a big problem with east coast jobs (mid-atlantic to NYC) from "older" companies that require tech experience and a PhD but do not want to pay accordingly because theyre stuck in an 80s mindset.
This is what it boils down to: Serving web pages in 2022 is easy. A raspberry pi is seriously overpowered for the task, even for dynamic web pages. 15 years ago, well into the WWW revolution, it would be considered not only server-class performance, but serious server-class performance. (It wouldn't be server-grade hardware... missing redundancy, etc., although if they could have picked them up for ~$50 instead of ~$5000 they would have just bought more and dealt with it.) Massive websites have been run on far less.

You have to work really hard to take even a low-end laptop's worth of hardware and make a website that is slow to serve. You have to run Apache in a bad configuration that holds connections open too long. You have to make queries to a database that aren't correctly indexed so they're all table scans, and you have to make a lot of them. You have to serve huge amounts of crap to the user that is poorly optimized for their browser. You have to serve incorrectly-compressed images and videos. You have to design for a microservice architecture internally where everything's synchronous calls and some of the calls are overloaded and you don't notice, or there are messages busses you're using that are backed up, or something like that.

You don't have to do all of those at once, but you need to do a few of them because modern hardware will still blast through serving if you just have a couple of those problems.

However, there are programmers, design teams, managers, and frameworks up to the task. Frameworks that enable query flurries. Programmers that don't understand the concept of query flurries and don't realize they just wrote a renderer for their home page that runs seven hundred queries just to load the username of the currently-logged in user and their most recent activity. Slow backend languages that are less "io blocked" than people realize and really are slow, especially by the time you're done stacking 3 or 4 "nifty" language features on top of each other. Leadership that mandates breaking fast monoliths into slow microservices. Marketers demanding that you put the video they provided up, as is, with no modifications, or you're fired. Front-end frameworks that are only 'blazingly fast' if you use them carefully and correctly but make it very easy to end up using dozens of components that don't work together and end up with websites that take 3 seconds just for the browser to lay them out, despite the page itself being very simple visually in the end. It's hard work to slow a web page down that much, but it turns out that the work ethic is alive and well in this segment of the economy and there's a lot of people up for it!

If you're used to all this and it's just the way things are for you, and you're watching a 2022-spec server groan under the load of getting 3 pages a second, the idea that a single home computer and home connection could easily serve 100 or 1000 pages a second, or that a super-low-end cloud instance could easily serve 10,000/second, sounds like someone lying to you.

I found the actual report this is based on even more interesting:

https://app.urlgeni.us/blog/new-research-across-200-ios-apps...

Just a few of the highlights:

Magazine apps had the highest number of total network contacts (28), and the highest percentage of third party domain contacts (93%)

Social apps, followed by Games apps, made the fewest number of network contacts, 6 and 7 respectively.

Apps making the most number network contacts included iHeartRadio (56), Wall Street Journal (48), ESPN (42), Popeyes (42), and WattPad (36)
The last time there was a post about this, I checked my GCP account and realized the credit card was about to expire so didn't worry about it. So I thought I'd be safe if something crazy happened.

But no. Google somehow contacted my bank and got a new expiration date for my credit card, then sent me an email that they did it. How kind of them!

This is the first time I've ever had my credit card expiration date extended without my permission. I mean, yeah, notifying me it's about to expire is great. But not doing it automatically.

I only have a credit card on file with them so I can test HashBackup (I'm the author) to GCP. Consider it is Google after all, I'm afraid to try to remove my credit card because they might close down my gmail account too, which yeah, I am migrating off of, but don't want to lose it yet either. And if they do close my gmail account, I'm well aware of the recourse I have ... none!
How would you know they aren't still majority? There were always conspicuously wealthy people, but now there are more wealthy people in general. It's inevitable both the quiet and noisy segments would grow even without other changes.
