I also worked at a fang company. When I was there they decided after losing a big govt case they would auto-delete your email after some number of months, like 6 months, plus they would limit your email storage to a small amount to force you to constantly delete things to send and receive email. They were careful to explain it wasn't to hide anything, it was IT efficiency or some bs. It was an exchange system, so you had to constantly delete your old email to free up space. Then the final piece of the puzzle was most of us were semi-randomly under the auspices of a giant lawsuit (imagine 1000 random developers in a division, everyone employed on xyz date is included). They told us to save relevant email to the lawsuit, without providing us any mechanism to do this, or clarifying what email is relevant. This was Microsoft 20 years ago.

They also told us about the cc the lawyer trick and that it wouldn't work. It was extremely clear they were trying to avoid recording conversations. It's many years later and my current employer auto-deletes slack messages after a week (so everyone copies them to google docs to save things). We waste a ton of time trying to save off important things. At the same time many many important communications seem to happen on slack. Plus we have zoom meetings, we can record them, but they get auto-deleted after some number of months.

We incentivized the lawyers to waste time of the engineers.
I’d appreciate it if you’d not speculate as to my state of mind.

I as a purchaser want all kinds of things; this doesn’t mean that I want the government to mandate that companies give them to me. In part that’s because the people who run and work at businesses also have free agency, and in part it’s because I don’t believe that government interference in commerce is a viable approach to getting what I want in the long term.

Device makers have become quite opinionated about how their things are used, and they are in a position to enforce their opinions. I don't know what exactly the right balance is, because there are genuine interests to be balanced... but when a piece of hardware is designed explicitly to allow the manufacturer to remove the device's ability to run the exact same software that it used to, we should meet any claim that this is primarily for the user's advantage with great skepticism. We should also take seriously the possibility that tilting the balance of power in this way creates issues at least as bad as the ones we are hoping to resolve.

It's like a city so fearful of petty criminals, it allows the police the ability to do as they please. And the police are directly hired by the rich people in town.

It's not circular at all. Rephrased and generalized: "If more people end up in jail, because people are committing more crimes, it's not ____."

Now add race: "If more black people end up in jail, because blacks are committing more crimes, it's not discrimination towards blacks, but discrimination towards crimes".

But yes, to your point, you can't judge solely based on how many are in jail, that they must be committing more crimes... because the justice system isn't perfect, and innocents do end up in jail. But again, to the other's points, it's entirely in the realm of possibility that black people are in fact committing more crimes, and hence there should be disproportionately more of them in jail. As to whether that's actually the case, is not easy to say.

You are oversimplifying things. It sort of overlaps some of the vaccine requirement arguments or perhaps laws that require you lock up your guns. Not updating devices that are connected to the net can and does lead to vulnerabilities that allow huge botnets to be created and deployed against anyone else on the network.

As I've gotten more into cooking as I've gotten older it's frustrating how often people don't really understand why they do things the way they do when they cook something, yet will doggedly insist that it must be done that certain way. As I've started to watch more and pay attention to youtubers who explain why they do things in a logical and rational way, even if you're not interested in that particular recipe, the correctly explained and justified techniques will be beneficial in many other things you cook.
My opinion: taste discrimination in various realms (cheese, ham, beef, wine, etc.) is a perishable attribute, and one that requires conscious attention. Overall experience is important, but I can't pick out cattle breeds by the flavor of their ribeyes like I could when I was a kid. I was eating a lot of beef from local ranchers while I was raising beef cattle, I was looking for certain attributes in the genetic material I was buying, and so I could not only immediately pick out a Charlois from an Angus mix immediately, but I could also pick out differences in crossbreeds. Note that in my experience this isn't unusual, but I did have a knack for judging critters (somehow I won a judging award at Cal Poly SLO and it involved chickens among other animals: I don't know a damned thing about chickens).

Now I can't taste beef the same way as I used to, especially not with grain-finished crossbreeds. I think it's one of those things, like pistol shooting, that is perishable and needs heavy reinforcement. Also, age is physiologically a factor.

TL;DR: eat more!

> under what premise is it desirable that the government should mandate how companies design and sell products?

The premise that benefits individuals and society.

The government already mandates how companies design and sell products. This isn't a radical concept. The reason cars get safer and cleaner every year is due to government regulation. The reason that instant coffee cannot be more than 50% bugs and twigs is government regulation.

Really wish Unity stopped being recommended as a great first choice for hobbyists with a bit of programming experience in general. In my experience I've found it a lot harder to get going with it, and requires dealing with a lot of systems which are in various stages of deprecation or early access compared to UE.

Visual Studio Code on Linux works really well and is increasingly popular, also a shout out for C-Lion. Eclipse is, umm, eclipsed by them both IMO.

My subjective opinion is that C-Lion is just a little bit more solid/complete, but Microsoft are investing heavily in VScode. It's great to see some serious competition by two well-resourced players working on this stuff.

Personally I'm always happiest with GDB tui. It's all the standard arguments of command-line vs GUI. When you know what you're doing CLI (with tab-complete) is just a faster way to accomplish the task, but when you're a noobie or an infrequent user the GUI wins because it's so much more discoverable.

One of the frustrating things about this discussion is the lack of a coherent definition of what "canceling" actually means. Bill Maher's cancellation quickly resulted in his own HBO show that he's hosted for almost 20 years. Or, to pick a more contemporary example, Dave Chapelle talks about being canceled from sold-out arena stages. It seems like everyone wants the "cool" factor of being a controversial figure without generating any actual controversy.

The problem is you're running into device security vs. device capability. If you can downgrade your device, then so can someone else. Take the standard example of jailbreaking: New iOS releases generally (sans bootrom bugs) fix security bugs, and definitely break jailbreaks.

If some large organization wants to monitor what you're doing by installing malware, they need to be able get the older OS installed. Assuming you're a sufficiently value target (human rights activists, etc), it can be worth them spying on you to get your device passcode, and then downgrading and installing malware. If it's not across a major version I suspect that the victim would not know.

Part of the attack model the companies like Apple and Google have to consider is direct physical access to the device. Neither company considers it reasonable to say "once someone has physical access to your device it is game over".
For the equity minded in here, think of this perk: work that requires you to be on location now comes at a premium. This means that retail workers and other blue collar workers can demand better pay. Why work for 9 bucks an hour flipping burgers when you can do the same remote as a call center rep? I know most people I've talked to would rather take a pay cut than return to the office. We have lived a world where the commute for information workers can be replaced with a VPN for about a decade now, and the inertia preventing that was absolutely destroyed. Any company taking a bet that they can browbeat employees back to commuting is going to lose.

Deurbanization will accelerate. There's just no value proposition in cities for white collar workers anymore, and therefore service jobs that cater to them and blue collar work catering to a city directly. They're ruins already and don't know it yet.

I don't know why you are getting down voted, I don't necessarily agree with everything you said, but I thought It least it contributed to the discussion.

I'm a full time Unity dev, but have many years of Unreal experience, and we occasionally look at what Unreal is doing now. To be honest, I just don't want to code in Blueprints or go back to C++.

If I were building a multiplayer game, or a big open world game, then I might be convinced to give up C#, and go back to Unreal.

With regard to management of the engine, I think there have been some less than optimal decisions, (URP vs HDRP, Multplayer, DOTS) but its really a huge project I hate to criticize because I'm not sure I would have done anything differently.
> A lot of Web3 platforms are in fact centralized. Your wallet (MetaMask), marketplaces (OpenSea), APIs (Alchemy) are all central platforms. Sure, they use a distributed database (blockchain), but before that it’s still a Go app on AWS, meaning its centralized.

> Your wallet (MetaMask)

Run your own node. This is lazy reporting to reach the end point about fawning over FreeBSD (its in the article, literally an article about having fun staying poor), when you can just as easily inspire and teach people how to use custom RPCs. There is an opportunity to inspire people with the tools to know what to look for, even if it's absurd to suggest people actually compile and run a node themselves. Tell them why the default behavior is a convenience and if they are interested in the decentralized parts then here is what to do.

> marketplaces (OpenSea)

Yep. It is a GUI ontop of their smart contracts (public access backend code). You don't have to use their GUI. You should inspect their smart contracts for centralized control, or at least look to see if anyone else has. There is an opportunity to inspire people with the tools to know what to look for, even if its absurd to suggest people actually do all the analysis themselves.

> APIs (Alchemy) are all central platforms

a fine example. don't use Alchemy or Infura as your RPC endpoints? Why not just make blog posts about that?

This kind of energy could just as easily be steered into "how to improve the concept of Web3" which lots of people are actually doing. It could just as easily be "This isn't decentralized! Let me fix that!"

Why does it need to physically modify the hardware via melting fuse when that fuse is read by enclave / boot loader code itself? If trusted code is trusted then couldn’t it store its state securely without melting fuses?

I must be missing something, either the bootloader execution is trusted and should be able to store state securely, Secure Enclave style, or it’s not and melting things doesn’t solve the problem as compromise of the code means the fuses can be ignored..
That was my first reaction, too, but then I had a second thought. Google is going to do this work on this in-tree or out-of-tree. If it is done in-tree, then there is a possibility that it will lead to core improvements that would benefit all backends. If out-of-tree, those are guaranteed to happen. I don't think it's a slam dunk, but on the balance it could make sense. And once it is in-tree you can actually validate this hypothesis by seeing the impact (or not) of contributions from Google.
I suspect some sort of smart prediction system (e.g. Stephen Hawking) would win pretty handily.
