If definitely does address some. As Louis correctly points out, if you don't have much skill and/or want an OEM-like repair, having those tools available is great. And if you don't need them, Apple doesn't force them onto you. I honestly think it's great that they offer their tooling for rent. Now, the program is not perfect by any means. But it definitely does address some of the problems with repairing Apple products.

Lastly, as I already pointed out in a sister comment, the grandparent said the program is designed to scare people away from repairing their phone. I actually don't see how. In fact, providing the tooling makes it more accessible than just providing the parts. I'd love to see everything replaceable, but this is a step in the right direction.
If you shop several times a week, each shopping trip is short. It'll all add up to maybe an hour a week, not several hours.
Svelte fits in nicely in this respect. I like being able to see all of the elements composing a component or view in one file (or as much as is reasonable).
> Calling it a Ponzi scheme is uninteresting and not really the point here. Was GameStop a Ponzi scheme when the stock price soared?

I’d argue that the intent of GameStop was not to provide a solid investment as it was just as a collective intent to make short sellers fail.

I have serious trouble seeing how “collective agreements” has any intrinsic value. To me, it’s effectively the same as saying “the value of coin X is that people believe in its value”.

It seems like at least this CEO recognizes it for what it’s worth.
Is this satire? I'm 50/50 about it.

Most people wouldn't mind some kind of throttling, as long as it is net neutral. The problem here is the lack of net neutrality.
It's not awesome that their phones are designed so maliciously (poorly if you want to be charitable.. but what have they done to deserve that interpretation?) that you need all this kit (or the equivalent from elsewhere) to repair your stuff.

Not every picture has to be a banksy to be art. Art is in the eye of the beholder.
75 year ago in the race to rehouse the UK the government paid for new builds cost plus. My father wrote(and sold for broadcast) a eponymous radio play on the phenomenon of everyone adding five points to the BOM and labor and getting paid automatically by the Ministry of Works. It was D noted.

Edit: My memory was wobbly the title was simply"Money". This (carte blanche for lousy work) created the next housing crisis that's created the currently forty years old UK housing crisis. My father ran the largest mortgage book of that era so saw the disaster up close and filthy.
Sometimes I wonder if hackernews ever does anything with the ideas it generates or if it just gets a kick out of generating them.
Biggest/best tell for me is not the image but the subject matter. The images with some interesting twist always come from the humans. For instance one image shown to me had human hands at a laptop, but they were coming through the screen to type. That is playing with human perception, twisting reality to make an artistic point (the self-typing laptop where the user comes from inside the machine). I've never seen an AI-generated image that projects any artistic depth. They are beautiful and sometimes funny, but never interesting.

Of course most human-created images are equally shallow, but if you do see depth then you know it came from a human. Put this test to an art historian/appraiser or architect and they would probably score very well.
Did Twitter take Nexta down? What does this mean? Russia influence campaign?
It doesn't help that there is a modern-day parallel ready to go, as the utility is currently invested in a new nuclear plant in Georgia that I think is coming up on 10 years behind schedule and untold billions over budget.
What? That sounds really stupid. Could you provide a source?

Even if Instagram does that, they can still modify the app to take pictures properly. That's definitely not a limitation with Android.
The only problem I can see with this is people modifying the picture header to become the edited photo instead of a legitimate one (either with a rooted phone or a modified request on pc). There's not really any way for Instagram to properly verify this.
> I hope you're not one of those people who thinks Right to Repair gives you a vote as to how companies design their products. That's annoying.

Welcome to democracy mate, where we vote on any issues we deem worthy.

Among them is regulating how companies design their products, becuase sometimes they combust and burn down our houses, or electrecute and kill us, produce electromagnetic noise that knocks out all radio communication, and at the end of their life they get discarded and poison our groundwater.
Another thing about the land assessment is that nuclear requires extremely specific land: either access to a massive body of water, or a huge resource of wastewater (e.g. Arizona's reactor)

This severely limits the amount of nuclear we can use in the biosphere, as every TWh of useful energy results in roughly a TWh of heating that needs to be dumped somewhere without negatively impacting the environment.

Meanwhile, solar and wind do not have that scaling problem, and there is way more spare land available to generate more energy that we can currently imagine what to do with.

As for intermittency, we will simply design the future electrical grid exactly the same we design it now: we build our minimum capacity to the the maximum usage. We haven't done that yet with renewables because we are still building. Anti-renewables nuclear advocates never seem to realize that about our current grid, that we have huge huge huge capacity that is almost never used. It will be the same in the future, with renewables, to an even greater degree. The difference is that renewables don't have fuel, so unlike all those peaker gas plants, the cost of using that additional energy capacity is near zero, as long as there is transmission capacity.

A grid powered by renewable energy is one where we will have incredibly energy abundance, huge amounts of curtailed energy that are not used because the energy is not in the right time or place. The amount of excess energy will be determined by the relative cost of generation capacity versus arbitrage capacity for place (transmission capacity) or time (storage).

A renewables powered grid is a huge step up on the energy ladder, and will enable far far cheaper and more abundant energy than a nuclear grid ever could.

Which isn't to say I'm against nuclear; if the industry ever gains some basic competence and can keep their promises, and the promises are competitive or complementary to storage plus renewables, let's build more. But it is the responsibility of the industry to improve, and prove to others that it has finally improved. And as long as people are running around blaming nuclear's decades of failure on everything except the true root cause, poor construction, nuclear will never have a chance to improve.
No. Phone usage is the cause, not symptom. These teens are there for depression and anxiety caused by their phones. They sit on social media all day long and watch the curated best moments of other peoples lives pass them by, believing that they are missing out in same shape or form.
I would disagree with that. Much of creating art is a feedback loop. An artist rarely, if ever, has a fully formed picture in their mind of what a finished piece will look like, and it's even more rare that the final piece conforms to that image. In the process of creating, the artist takes in what is in progress and has to adjust accordingly.

The final piece is influenced by the medium it's created in, the process of creating it, constraints both momentary and well-known, and the context of the time and whims of the artist.
Last I checked a heat pump is considerably more expensive than an air conditioner. And a regular air conditioner can probably only heat when the outside is not freezing.

I would actually want to get a heat pump but it's basically prohibitive. Would be nice to replace them with a "cheaper" air conditioner unit.
Yep.

Don't you buy bread? Bread spoils in a few days unless you put a lot of shit in it and every day stored makes it taste worse. Or even most fruits and vegetables, they taste significantly worse after a week.

People who shops just once a week can't value the freshness of what they eat at all. Or they just eat dry/frozen/industrial treated wares that don't spoil easily, but eating fresh really tastes a lot better.

once we create consciousness, I think that consciousness will be able to create art. whether it will choose to is a different question.
>Sorry, but there is no world in which shopping at the grocer every day is more convenient than shopping once every 1.5 or even 2 weeks or so.

For you.

I keep seeing your replies throughout this chain and I can't help but notice that you seem to be astounded by differences in what ultimately amounts to personal preference. What might be convenient shopping for you may not be convenient shopping for others. Lifestyle, locale, general eating habits and personal taste, among other things, are significant contributing factors to these differences.

A clearer title (from the article) would be:

Retail investors’ holdings in index funds exceeds active funds for the first time

More specifically:

> As of March 31, Morningstar says, retail investors had $8.53 trillion invested in index mutual funds, while $8.34 trillion worth of assets were invested in actively-managed funds.
> So far there hasn't been a 2008-scale meltdown because it hasn't been a big enough market to have a domino effect

Isn't it more that the crypto + companies with cult followings + chinese real estate bubbles simply have not yet popped? These assets are big enough to cause a sell-off in other areas. Maybe they haven't dipped low enough yet, or maybe the dips are gradual enough to be absorbed.
Be wary of anyone making firm statements about the future of anything. This article doesn’t do that.

This article is merely drawing similarities with past events and concludes:

> First, we need to see the economy slow down and inflation slow down. We need to see stocks bottom out and hang out there for a while. And we need to be patient. None of this is going to happen fast.

This seems reasonable. Wait and see based on variables that were important in the only comparable period in recent times.
Do you know which library?

I'm temporarily local, and should be able to go through and maybe digitize (or at least photograph) some documents, if any exist.

PS: Thanks for the research and excellent writeup. Fascinating piece of history I'd never heard about!
> On other hand Verge look it from consumer standpoint.

I think the Verge look at it from the idiot standpoint -> most consumers will go to a local repair store, and if parts and tools are avaliable then they can get better and cheaper service. The repair store can invest a few grand in proper tools and use them regularly.

Its actually a very poorly written article, more clickbait than actually saying anything useful.

Case in point, title says "active managers" ...but if you read the article its actually "actively managed funds".

Which means that before we've started we're already deep into Apples & Oranges comparisons with "index funds" vs "actively managed funds".

"Index funds" are simple, they track an index. (oversimplified, there are technicalities, but we'll leave it at that).

"Actively managed funds" meanwhile have a defined remit, and each fund will have a different remit. They might be limited as to sectors, company size, market technicalities or anything else.

It is also likely the case that there is less interest in "actively managed funds" because if you are in the market for "actively managed" then you may well be constructing your own portfolio of individual equities rather than just buying a fund.

Furthermore, "index funds" can be used by money managers as part of a balanced portfolio. For example, they might pick individual equities in markets/sectors that they are familiar with, and then use index funds for broader geographical or other coverage.

So in essence the Yahoo article is a waste of words and is doing everyone a disservice, including the index funds it seeks to promote.
When you learn about a celebrity and then you assume they know you too, you are clearly making a mistake. And the heuristic probably doesn't work well in the digital age.
I don’t think 99% of the population or even art students could paint Dürer’s rabbit no matter what training or incentive was offered.

Also the history of pigments is fascinating. There’s a whole lot lot more to painting than brush strokes.
Adaptive Cards have been around since 2016: https://github.com/microsoft/AdaptiveCards/graphs/contributo...

It's a healthy project, with multiple development teams within Microsoft both using and contributing to it. If you scroll down the originally linked homepage, you see 4 Microsoft products that have used it, 3 of which are in active development today.
If your hypothesis is that parasocial relationships are not a healthy substitute for social relationships, I think most people would intuitively agree.

I think the bigger question is the degree to which Parasocial relationships replace or compete with social relationships. I am more skeptical on this point.

I thought this paper was an interesting introduction and exploration of the topic:

The URL does not work for me.

EDIT: works now. Thanks for the article, I'm also working on a dev-tool product and we are considering open-sourcing it fully. However, there is also a problem of making sure the garden is green and welcoming. Is it necessary to prepare everything like a nice Readme, CI/automation to run the tests, and so on so forth? Or what's the minimum do you think?
"American interests", an euphemism used to this day to refer to whatever's most profitable for american capitalists and industrialists. It can be found in actual government documents released today. The context almost always consists of some country not making life easy for some american "stakeholder". Makes me cringe every time I read those words.
I've always pondered if code could dream up idiosyncratic styles of art. Instead of using 'training' material, it procedurally generates art using random noise as the base input, and uses a different algorithm each time it generates art, instead of a predictable algorithm (to avoid everything looking the same). You could, in effect, generate serendipity on demand, and use algorithms to create algorithms, a very meta thing to do, but would be an interesting project to undertake.
And body armour, why not.
I recently repurposed an old Win XP machine (Athlon 64 X2, circa 2010) that had been sitting unused for 15+ years. I threw in 4Gb of memory and a pci wifi card and installed Lubuntu. Works great! FF is a bit sluggish on it, but I don't care, because it's primarily a file server.
But it isn't necessarily malice or poor design, merely different priorities. Apple may well be trying to design phones that are as small, capable, and water-resistant as possible, all of which come at the cost of repairability.
Take a look at these ETFs. They should be lower risk that individual companies. Maybe dabble in that, then research their holdings if you really want to get into individuals.

The story used pictures from DALL-E2 so I suspect that they were referring to the platform as a whole.
A flat "resident" tax would obviously be the most fair. Everyone has equal rights to the roads, the firefighters, the libraries, etc so simply divide the budget by number of people and everyone pays their fair share.

Obviously that wouldn't be tolerable in contemporary America, but there is still something absurd about suggesting that because some houses in my neighborhood sold for more last year, that I should have to pay thousands of dollars more for the local government.

The massive inflation in city and state budgets due to soaring property taxes is a huge abuse of the middle class and transfer of wealth to the pork barrel of connected insiders profiting from government contracts, grants, etc.
Can you talk more about why you’re working in Jupyter Notebooks at a level that needs diff reviews? Are you reviewing your own work, or the work of others?

One option would be to start a policy to always “restart and clear output” before saving. This cleans the output cells and makes the .ipynb files diffable. Just happens to also make them nice for storing in version control.

Another option would be to work in pure python files in the first place, and only use Jupyter after the fact. The close brother to Jupyter is the Spyder IDE, which gives you most of the benefits of quick visual outputs, but also has a nice python debugger built in.
Take every major future scenario and make sure you have some idea of how your strategy and portfolio survives it. There is no difference between a useful and useless economic prediction in a highly uncertain environment — they’re all roughly plausible.
well, if I am saving supermarket money on shopkeepers then supermarket also needs to expect I will also try to save some money on "mistakes" while using self checkout, two can play this game, especially considering how much money shopkeepers scammed me, because they always make "mistake" which is beneficial only to shop (OK, to be fair, not always, "only" in 95-98% cases, I can't even remember how many times they scammed me with wrong price(tag)s or wrong item (it's almost every other or every third purchase, so I check receipt every single time), but I remember very well once in a many years guy made mistake and charged me cheaper bread, that was like winning the lotto)

Hoarding: 'I want a tidy life, but I can't do it on my own'
Great article, I think it nicely articulates something any of us music/ live music fans have always intuitively known. It’s one of the coolest things about music, and the clearest sign you found a song that really resonates with you. The songs that trigger this will be different for everyone I believe.

It’s interesting this phenomenon is actually being studied & quantified in the lab. Also interesting, no joke just by reading the opening description, an actual ‘frisson’ reaction was triggered in my body. Weird!

I also want to point out, for me, this is why my favorite genres/ bands are ones where improvisation are a central component. Jazz, blues, bluegrass, jam bands. I think on average they give me more frisson.

By far my favorite band is Umphrey’s McGee. I’ve seen them about 40 times live and I can’t get enough. Every show is a unique experience. When I see shows, I want to be surprised. And Umphrey’s consistently delivers every single time. You never know what to expect. Their improvisations are so good, it always blows my mind! They take you on a musical journey, through so many peaks & valleys. It’s the ultimate live ‘frisson’ experience!
You need to understand more about macroeconomics, monetary policy, ad government, along with studying past how past markets behaved under similar conditions.

> In September 2003, Amiot Métayer was found dead, his eyes shot out and his heart cut out, most likely the result of machete-inflicted wounds. He was, prior to his death, the leader of the Gonaives gang known as "The Cannibal Army." After his death, his brother Buteur Métayer swore vengeance against those he felt responsible for Amiot's death—namely, President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Buteur took charge of the Cannibal Army and promptly renamed it the National Revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Haiti.

Well then...
