Because it's not his 'fuck you' money but the supposed hopes and dreams of all those who believe he is some wonderful 'capital allocator'.

Bullshi!t proven.

Is buying twitter an example of that? He may make a buck but I'll 100% disagree.

And what? You think he earned 260 squillian dollars?

No, his shares were brought to that level through the demand of those who purchased shares in companies he owns.

It's not 'his' 'fuck you' money at all.

At this stage, he's using societies capital for entertainment value ... the support for him is cult like.

The whole spectacle is obscene and pathetic.
I grew up on Ubuntu (8.04, what a great release and gorgeous looking GTK2 theme) and this was the last straw for me. Firefox included as a snap on default just takes too much to open on my beefy new Thinkpad. Off to Fedora for me.

Ask HN: What is going on with Spotify for Mac?
Is there some deep trouble going on at Spotify that's preventing them from releasing useable software?

Spotify on my MacBook has recently become so unstable that I am going to have to remove it permanently. It constantly messes with my audio settings so that Zoom and all other apps stop working when it's running. My Airpods randomly disconnect whenever Spotify is running and I have to restart to stabilize them again. Every time I restart my computer Spotify hangs and has to be force killed.

I have a relatively recent MacBook pro (But not M1) and standard setup, nothing crazy.

This is getting to the point where I am going to cancel my subscription with them but I wanted to see if other people are having similar issues or it's just me?

Edit: I have tried all the standard things to troubleshoot, reinstalled it, reinstalled audio drivers and reset things etc... Nothing helps.
This is the same guy that's all over Reddit virtue signaling about his hiring practices. The irony.

Relays drop in price with volume much faster than many other parts. I'd believe it if it were 12v "sugar cube" types, which a quick search tells me it probably wasn't.
Excellent UIs for shrink wrap software. I think we can agree that the UI for Netflix or YouTube depends on content recommendation in ways that shrink wrap software doesn't. One person's engagement (addiction, triggering, controversy) is another person's usability. If YouTube is going to recommend entirely Fox News videos to an apolitical user it's not going to provide a good interface. Even search is hard to do properly without data. How is YouTube useful if it can't do recommendations and you can't search it?
Not sure blowing $300M counts as failing quickly.
The fact that your questions remain unanswered while other questions asked after yours are being answered by the OP is telling.
As Moore's law slows down, fabs will have longer life near the leading edge.

So, for example, 45 nm rolled out in 2007. If in 2005 you were crazy enough to try to bootstrap a 32 nm fab, you might have hoped to have the line completed a year behind the industry if you were lucky. (You have to get it working, get the customers,and get them shipping in volume to get the business healthy.)

So Joe's Tool and Die startup fab rolls out their 32->36 nm process in 2010. And they luck out because the 22->28 happens in 2012 (a 3 yr gap vs the typical 2 yr at that time.)

But 22->28 rolls out and JT&D is playing catch up again.

If the same cycle stretches to 5 years, the technology ramp becomes much more manageable.
The Zoom H6 has fabulous audio but… beautiful? Looks like a Klingon marital aid to me
It won't even do that. I live in Houston and there is no amount of security footage that will get HPD to investigate a crime if they aren't inclined. This has been proven to me on multiple occasions.
Android allows for alternative stores, like F-Droid. I would love to see those phones take off, but at the very least they'd need great Android runtime support.

Yeah you can do this with MDM, just target the com.apple.desktopservices preference domain and set DSDontWriteNetworkStores to true.
A phone from 3 years ago, running software from 4 years ago would be as fast as anyone would reasonably need, but it gets obsoleted via software bloat.

More frameworks, more layers of abstraction and no confining force that forces anyone to write software that isn't a bloated mess.
Yeah they worded that confusingly. That said, I feel like the writing is probably on the wall for 32-bit. My guess is this might be the real reason why they pushed for making Visual Studio 64-bit.

As someone who grew up in Akron, Ohio, the Goodyear blimp is still a regular sight around here. I grew up in the 90s thinking blimps were normal everywhere, and it was only as I got older that I realized that it's really an Akron thing.
> If anything is a recent invention, it's the idea of a country as a nation state.

When we use the bare word "India" in the English language today, it refers to the modern country as a nation state, and not to its etymological origin as the Hellenized Persian word for the peoples and lands to the southeast of the Sindhu (Indus) river. The great empires of subcontinental history wouldn't have called themselves India, but rather used their own names like "Magadha" or "Chola".

Even the standard name for modern India used in much of the northern part of the country, "Bharat" is itself a reference to a ancient tribe of the Gangetic plain region, and not something that historically reflected the subcontinent as a whole, much like the situation with names used for Germany.

When we refer to the subcontinent in other time periods, (i.e. the time of the Arthashastra), we qualify it with that time period, like , "Prehistoric India", "Vedic India", "Classical India" "Medieval India", etc. That's nothing specific to India either, we do that for all parts of the world.
> to bring a full supply chain back and try to be fully self-reliant is totally not efficient. ... At the end of the day, that additional capacity could become non-profitable capacity."

It doesn't matter if it isn't profitable, because if cars, trains, and computers go offline because of chip production supply chain issues then a huge portion of the workforce can't participate. If regional war blocks trade from Taiwan we will be hosed within a matter of years.
There are those that desire their nation to be a part of the Free World, within nations that aren't currently. Of course. I didn't mean they're all doomed. Freedom fighters for democracy exist everywhere. There's many Russians like Navalny that desire this. He's an example of a Russian patriot, rather than just a nationalist.
Had the Russians stood with him in a real way all of these years, tens of thousands of Russian lives and Ukrainian lives would've been saved.

We can't help them. They're a nuclear power. External help with Russian liberation is not possible. It's on them, and I understand how difficult it is. Freedom fighting is not in most Russian's DNA. But they're human, and even after 70 years of Soviet repression, it's still there. I want to have faith.

India is worth keeping an eye on. They are a member of the Pacific equivalent of NATO, the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, but it will be interesting to see how devoted they are to a transparent and healthy democracy as opposed to just looking to counter China as a rival.

Yet. I think part of that is that cars are ubiquitous enough for you to able to buy a fully depreciated, reliable Japanese car for the cost of a decent ebike, we have some of the cheapest fuel in the world and everything is built around cars. I expect economies of scale to kick in with eBikes while cars continue to become more and more expensive to run in dense urban centers.
Of course, but it makes the average repair cost upfront. If two phones sell for $1000 in the US, but one has a 10% failure rate and the other 0%, you can't know that buying one of them will on average suddenly cost you a lot more in the future. In Norway the one with a high failure rate would instead be priced around $1100.

So manufacturers are incentivized to make more lasting products, which is also good for the environment.
> Having parents who are presumably supportive and can provide

This is huge. I used to be very active in a sport that tends to attract rich people. Having myself grown up very poor, it was my fist window of visibility into that segment of society. I was always surprised by how many kids (in their 20s) were running startups as founders.

On one hand, they were living the full sacrifice. Taking no salary, living in a cramped apartment with cofounders, working so hard. So if any of them made it (I lost track), they did work for it and sacrificed.

But until I got to know them a bit better I always wondered how they're able to take on so much risk? What if it didn't work out? Having grown up poor I've always been hyper-aware of financial risk of every decision so I couldn't understand this.

The answer is that for them there was no risk. It was always a variant of "Dad is paying my apartment and food and gave me four years to give this a go, if it doesn't work out I'll shut down the startup and he'll hire me into his company".
Thankyou for correcting me. I was speaking from old knowledge as this was a while ago I set this up and couldnt quite remember exactly how the .DS_store system worked. I thought it was one .ds_store file per file.

That being said, depending on your business and data structure this doesnt detract from the point.
Also if you have a deep nested directory structure with no real files in it, would every level contain a .ds_store file?
LOL - for fifteen years Apple has refused to allow an ext4 formatted volume to auto-mount on a MacOS X machine.. how hard is that? Apple is non-Apple hostile, and proud of it
I think there are two main areas where we improve the default experience.

1. Zero configuration needed to get started.

With Fig, the experience just works out of the box. A lot of developers - especially people less comfortable with the terminal - don't feel confident installing a bunch of 3rd party zsh completions or creating a custom setup.

2. Extensibility.

We've worked really hard to make the experience of writing your own completions very easy and powerful. Lots of teams are using Fig to make internal scripts and CLI tools more ergonomic and discoverable.

In my experience, writing custom shell completion scripts is not very much fun.

> A similar problem comes up when trying to manage color gamut on screens and systems that are intentionally blown out to look vivid, vibrant, shiny… looking at you Samsung phones. Any properly color-managed image there looks incredibly dull compared to the bright defaults you’ve grown accustomed to. If we take 0xff red to mean “full sRGB red”, that’s much less bright these days than if we just assume it means “as red as the screen will go.” It’s much like how TVs are (hopefully were?) set in the store in bright shiny mode to induce you to buy them, not set to reproduce colors accurately.

I remember when the Pixel 2 came out, there was a minor kerfuffle over it defaulting to using sRGB. It got overshadowed a bit due to some of the more severe issues people ran into with the early batch, but it still apparently got enough of a backlash for them to patch it shortly after to update to a compromise between what I think it called "natural" and "vivid". At the time, I had never paid much attention to color profiles, so my roommate suggested I enable sRGB (which was in the developer settings on the original Pixel) for a week and see if I preferred it. It turns out I do actually prefer it, so now I've used it on whichever phone I've had since then!
> The “no warrant” clause just seems like it’s designed to get the law struck down.

Or the true purposes is more nefarious.
Yes that's the point of an Abbe value but if your lenses are super thin you can't tell. Chromatic abberation becomes more apparent as the lens thickness increases. Glass has the lowest but it's irrelevant if you're making glass an inch thick for example. No matter what you use, you'll have very noticeable abberation. The tradeoff for a thicker lens using 1.53 vs 1.74 will never be worth it as you'll be wearing coke bottles and you'll still see abberation because it's so damn thick.
Do you know every persons own calculations? I think you don't.

Of course the share price is always future looking, so any past results are always already predicted.

What matter is the result of this Q matches the trend that you expect.

As for it being overvalued, people have been saying that since the IPO. And if you look at share price 2-3 years ago it is justifyable if you look at the price now.

So it all depends on your future growth assumtions.

> I'm going to be charitable

Should've started and ended with that and I might've believed you, but

> This is the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard.

It seems fitting to place those quotes next to each other.

To your charitable assumptions and questions:

> The Constitution does not include "accused criminals" as a protected class. Please point to the exact section of the Constitution that includes them.

As you wish. The 5th and 14th amendments[1] provide a right to due process. The "protected class" you're looking for is “All persons within the territory of the United States are entitled to its protection, including corporations, aliens, and presumptively citizens seeking readmission to the United States”.

> if I witness someone committing a crime and decide to fire them, should the government force me to wait until they are convicted of the crime?

No, and I certainly wasn't suggesting that. Was anyone? I made sure to put the most important objection in the very first line of my response:

> That's an argument for a speedier judicial process

and I continued with its de facto opposite, the one that you appeared and appear eager to support:

> allowing a lack of employment protection to act like a non-judicial punitive action

because you were arguing this:

> If they're paid while the justice is being worked out and their trial takes years, that is potentially a burden that the employer can't bear.

They're turning up to work, right? The employer could bear it the day before their arrest so they can the day after.

> Also, you're describing a situation where bad behavior becomes a protected class as soon as you get arrested for it.

Your strange fantasy about being able to fire a rapist that you know did it when you were surely also the one that hired this reprobate is at once amusingly ironic and the setup for one of the worst straw man arguments I think I'll have the misfortune to witness for a good long while.

Elon Musk’s Twitter saga is capitalism gone rogue
Enjoyed reading this - I think it will be very helpful
I'm sure Disney is as good with financial modeling as any Wall Street firm. If they have responsibilities for things like water/sewer because they were an extra-governmental region, why would they not try to drop them like a stone if this was removed? Private companies aren't responsible for water, sewer, fire, police, ... all of the things needed to keep the peace. It's not like private companies are nice, friendly things, and The Mouse has been more company-like than most.

Also, they have to do a determination on stay/go. Do they put more $$ into Florida or not? Is there a marketing risk operating there vs. not? Is there a business risk mucking about with theme parks or are they a 20th century phenomenon. Is expansion in the US the way to go or outside the US (Hard Rock Cafe voted for the latter a decade or more ago)? Which customer base has more disposable income that can be siphoned into the Mouse's pocket?

If their tax position changes, the financial benefit changes. Given the push for unionization that is occurring (Starbucks, Amazon), it might not be worth pissing around with lots of (formerly) cheap labour. If their bonds or bottom-line is significantly affected by such a change, they'll have to act quickly to avoid Netflix-like damage.

Or, all of this is BS, they hunker down and hope it passes in a year or two. However, it's been building up for 5-10 so far so that's probably naive. They can try funding the opposition, but that presupposes that there is a viable opposition in Florida. Disney Orlando requires tourism going to Florida to generate revenue, so they're damaged by stuff outside their control - people can get their mouse fix anywhere. And if the current Florida administration wins, the next round will be worse.

So, unless Disney really goes along with what's going down, they're in an unenviable position. Losing control of the marketing and ending up as Hillbilly Heaven would hurt them bad outside the US.
What I'd love is a robust, modern, relatively easy-to-configure, focused DAV server— specifically one that includes calendaring and notes. Everything out there is either incomplete, fussy as all getout to set up, dogmatically simple and therefore requires external mitigation, only supports one or two clients, and/or some janky PHP amalgam.

What I'd REALLY love is to be able to run all of my own services in place of iCloud. I realize that this stuff isn't free to develop and I'd happily pay for it. They've been moving further away from standard formats and protocols with no way for others to integrate in the same way and I'm curious if there are any legal anticompetitive actions on the table should they continue to do so.

Before anybody says it— I have business needs that favor using MacOS directly on Apple Hardware and as a result, iOS is a good choice. Moving from Apple would regularly cause me more grief than these things do. No, you don't know my use case better than me and I have exhaustively explored all alternatives both ancient and modern.
I have a conventional water heater, and when a tree falls on the power lines I discovered that the water will remain hot enough for a shower for 3 days.

I don't see any problem with heating the water to the max during the day, and you'll be able to enjoy the hot water at night.

Planes have numerous advantages, particularly in the early days when mass adoption was still in question: Foremost, they're smaller. This means when one crashes, fewer people die (remember, I'm talking about the early days; Tenerife doesn't count.) Because they're smaller, they cost less. That means fewer investors get hosed when there's an accident, and it's relatively easy for innovators to find funding for new airplanes despite the crashes. Because airplanes were so much smaller and cheaper, it was even practical for a one or two man team to fund and construct their own in their garage; an airship is a much more demanding undertaking. Because they're smaller, they're easier to store inside during bad weather. They're also faster, which makes it easier to evade bad weather and also means you don't have to anticipate bad weather so far in advance. They can land almost anywhere, even in some farmers field, but airships can only be moored in a prearranged locations. That gives an airplane many more options for dealing with emergencies, which contributes to a perception of relative safety.
Proposals to pay off student loan debt are the equivalent of this, as I have expanded on at length in the rest of my comment.
Hmm, I disagree. That Shostakovitch piece (nice one, thanks for the link, btw!) feels to me more like trickery and misdirection. It builds up your comfort then throws you off, and it gets more and more off-kilter the longer you go. It's very deliberate and purposeful about where it's going.

It does not serve any good for facebook that she threatened their business connections to the daily mail unless they bury the story. That is the absolute worst behavior.
