By no means are 18.1% of the population living in "abject" poverty. They're living in what the US government classifies as poverty, but in the majority of these cases they still have a home, have food, have electricity, etc.

I'm not saying that they're living comfy lives, but when you throw around terms like "abject povery" you're really discrediting people who are actually living in abject poverty.

What are your plans to get the rate below 1%? What would you have done differently that wouldn't have wrecked the economy?

I want to be able to use iMessage with Android users. Apple doesn't want me to do that. It is not "built around ... what the user wants."
> I can take any amount of my dollars in my bank, convert them to a decentralized stablecoin (and I'm not talking shit like UST), fly to another country, and then access those funds locally without anyone telling me what I can and cannot do.

That's like: https://xkcd.com/538/

Are we talking about 2k USDs or meaningful sums like 300k or 10 million? Because banks in many countries (e.g. mine) have outright ban transactions with BTC-related websites (e.g. crypto exchanges) using their accounts... So assuming you find someone who'll be able to verse 1 million USD to your account (can/will coinbase do that? not in theory, in practice... or ask you 15 days to put the money together?), you'll have to convince the bank to accept and hand you the money. Then explain where did these came from. Good luck with that.

Yep. Buying iDevices is the libertarian dream of buying into private regulatory environments.

I hate it, but it's the best we have until/unless government improves our terribly weak consumer protection & privacy laws. I really hope the option's not taken away, nor Apple's position as a regulator significantly weakened, until/unless government steps in and solves the problems Apple's currently solving. At that point, sure, break them up, ban app store platform monopolies, whatever, fine, go for it. But please not yet.
Sadly the solution isn't banning Nikes or whatever the current "they're being petty about it" thing is - they'll just find something else to latch onto.
Regarding 2.: I asked about that for the PinePhone Pro, and I was told that changing the case is super expensive, as it requires new molds. From what I've heard elsewhere, PINE64 reused another companies case design (and molds) for the PinePhone, and that (duh, it was just some regular phone design) did not have kill switches.

Regarding replacement batteries: There are some brands that make okay/fine replacement batteries, I am quite happy with the one I've written about in another comment on here. But yes: They should be available in a perfect world, but given current global supply chain problems, it's understandable that they are not at all times.
That's largely because academia favors central planning and doesn't trust those without a graduate degree to make socially optimal choices. They want to be the planners the masses depend on and Mises tried to show that desire was problematic from a first-principles, liberty-oriented perspective.

What's really laughable is that academia thinks its policy prescriptions play no role in the ongoing economic mismanagement despite all evidence to the contrary and the predictions of the Austrian school. Your need to smear the name of Mises with unrelated controversies is also very telling. Why not let the theories speak for themselves?

My criticism is that nearly the whole page is the comment section. The article itself is very short--pasted into an editor, ~200 words excluding titles. Perhaps putting every sentence on its own line also inflates an author's sense of how long their article is.
Really good initiative, they clearly care about privacy. Most companies are going out of their way to introduce autorenewing subscriptions.

But here they make privacy more important than pleasing the investors. Kudos. Glad I'm a customer.

There were several similarly large companies that Facebook killed by modifying their algorithm. Let's not pretend that the scale of "hundreds of millions" sized companies can stand up to pressure from Apple/Google/Meta/Microsoft/Amazon.

There is something inherently wrong with that that you can not install a linux on basically any phone on the market that could work with linux with a bit of good will. I think we need truly open hardware and someone with money willing to stand against "status quo" of industry, like Elon Musk did with cars.
You can add custom words so that your iOS device will suggest them. Go to Settings, search for Text Replacement, add a new replacement with +, enter the same word for both replacement and shortcut.
You can do that with bindings currently. Interface types should only make it easier (for languages with utf-8 strings, as interface types does not support WTF-16 strings like in Java or JavaScript yet).

Personally, I think even the cheaper plans are overpriced some of the time, considering real resource usage and comparing against software licenses in the past.

I do wonder how much of that money goes into subsidising the free tiers and paying (comparatively) enormous wages of developers to add features I don't really want.

Here is my hack…

Caveat: I have a couple of “Cadillac” dental insurance plans due to great employee benefit packages for both me and my wife. So they cover quite a bit.

I just tell the hygienist before I get in the chair that if my insurance doesn’t cover it, I won’t be doing it, and don’t even suggest it. Generally that stops the upselling.

I think we often times confuse the harms of "people being able to talk to each other en masse" with "things uniquely caused by Facebook."

I am not sure why this is, but I think a large part of it is that it sounds much better to rail against Facebook than to say "I don't like the outcomes when large groups of people are allowed to talk to each other online without intermediaries." But really, the second thing is what you are typically actually saying.

I do the same. In addition to the security and privacy benefits, the traceability have been helpful.
Years ago my Netflix account was hacked, and they refused to believe it was on their end. They were sure someone had accessed my email. I was not able to convince them that netflix@myserver.com was not a thing you could log into. But having a unique email was one of the clues that led me to be confident that my email had not been hacked, and it must have been something purely on the netflix side.

> Do you not know any housekeepers or garbage collectors?

I know my housekeeper very well. We're friends, we've played online games together, and he's cleaned for me for almost 10 years. I help him with his side hustles whenever I can.

> It feels like you're going so far out of your way to try to make the person you're responding to feel sorry for them that you're being cruel and dismissive.

This is a bizarre reading of my comment. I was trying to think of the hardest-working people I know. I didn't choose them because they are people to pity.

Upward mobility in the US is at its lowest in several generations[1]. That's my whole point.

> My mother-in-law was an immigrant housekeeper who over the course of her life eventually became a well paid live-in private chef, for example.

Great! Doesn't change my point.

I don't work as hard as a garbage collector, and I earn 6x what a garbage collector in my city makes by working as a privileged software developer.

These people may be financially stable and have good lives, but they won't have money thrown at them the way I (and a lot of software developers) have.

> I know it tries to, but it feels very condescending to me, and takes the agency from vast swathes of people.

Yes, that is my whole point. We live in a society that takes away people's agency. They can work tirelessly and still not have the "pedigree" that a lot of companies look for. A lot of our society is determined by which family you're lucky enough to be born in, and that is what has taken people's agency away.

As for the rest of it, I can't control how you interpret my words. I feel condescending toward people who are lucky like me and don't realize it. I don't feel condescending toward people who work hard and take care of their families.

As I understood it, the checklist said the switch was to be off during landing, such that landing simulations with it on had not been attempted. Not sure if mission control knew it was on.

Charlie Muntz was certainly deeply involved, as was Don, in ensuring and verifying that failures would be recoverable. I think Muntz coded the interpreter much of the landing was coded in; Laning, the priority-based executive monitor Charlie and Don coded to.

I am always amazed how, given such a slow base machine, it was so conventional to run an interpreter and then write actual programs to the interpreter. Apparently the space needed for the interpreter was more than made up by the more-compact code used to drive it, and the slowdown was tolerable.

It's just one of the many layers of good opsec of you care about privacy. You shouldn't rely on this alone.

And breaking the internet? I think centralisation by parties like Amazon, Google, CloudFlare does that a lot more.

And if you want you can even send them cash in an envelope. Or monero or whatever.
“Ask app not to track” is great. Any solution to apple’s power that means this privacy improvement couldn’t have happened is a bad solution. That’s the issue here. The only way to defeat network effects (like facebook’s surveillance) is with other network effects (like apple’s app store).

To be clear, I’d love a less powerful apple, but it has to be a solution that can still lead to users actual wants overriding a behemoth like facebook. I don’t know if that’s asking to have my cake and eat it too.
Even so if you're not on "iPhone" you get a bunch of "Bob laughed at TEXT" kind of things, which can be annoying.

After college, I went to a new dentist on the recommendation of a coworker, a father-son practice. It was fine for a few years, then all of a sudden, multiple cavities. They mentioned a failed sealant which I halfway buy, but they "found" a few others.

I'd never had a filling before, so this was a very big deal for me. The dentist had time, so he just did it right after my cleaning. The only word I have for how I felt was raped. I don't use that lightly. It was emotionally traumatic to have someone pressure you like that, not give you a clear choice, and violate your body.

I kept going there just because I was lazy, and I went on a day the dentist was out of the office, so the hygienist just showed him the xrays. When he found another one several years later, I got a second opinion. He said it was something a more aggressive dentist might go after, so the diagnosis wasn't outright wrong, but probably overly aggressive.

Never went back to the first dentist. 7 years later, it's still fine. I suspect most of my fillings were the same story.

My current dentist probably overtreats with 4 cleanings per year, but I'd rather pay for the extra cleanings.

There have been people writing at least two of those languages everywhere I've worked for a while. Most of my professional colleagues can write at least one of these comfortably. I'm extremely confident in being able to hire programmers for all of these. They're all in use at every major tech company.

If you really want to stick your head in the sand and cry about how nothing can be better until they're literally top of the charts, I can't stop you, but they're certainly not rare. There's good stuff out there. Lots of people are using it. You can too.

If you'd rather trade links to charts, I trust Stack Overflow's developer survey's methodology a lot more than TIOBE's. 30% of respondents said they've worked with TypeScript, and that jumps to 36% in the professional developer subset. Rust is 7%/6%. That's a hell of a lot more than 10 developers.

Okta, WorkOS, etc. offer easy (<1 week of work) implementation of fully self-service SSO. WorkOS pricing is very predictable and easy to offload to the customer, Okta are cheaper for larger numbers of customers.
I wonder if the author discussed this with his support team? The reason my company charges for SSO is then increased support cost.

If everyone used Okta, no problem. But then you get an Enterpise customer who’s using their own home grown SSO solution an we get to spend weeks debugging login issues.

> Go participate in democracy if you disagree.

Thanks - this actually inspired me to write to my senator and congressional rep at the federal level in the US to not regulate Apple or its ability to decide what content goes on the iOS App Store. I love the iPhone and App Store, and Apple has earned my trust with their stewardship of it, and there is no logical reason that they should be regulated differently than any other marketplace. Any proposed changes or regulations that I've seen that target the iOS App Store are bad for me personally. I'd actually like to see us pass a digital markets act or similar that guarantees Apple (and Google, etc.) stewardship over their products and platforms.

Certainly I'm one of many voices (honestly outside of a place like HN or tech journals nobody gives even the slightest shit about what Apple does on the App Store) here, but I'll make sure my voice is heard to the extent that it makes sense to engage here.

As an aside some (most? All?) iPhones and carriers seem to support "WIFI calling" which lets you get calls and texts when you're on WIFI (and even outside of cell signal) - I get Ting calls and texts when I'm deep in my basement where no cell signal is available, as long as I have WIFI on.

I assume something similar exists for other carriers and phones (Republic Wireless is build around it).

There are also some land-lines that can get texts, but I don't know how they do it (I suspect they're actually a cell line disguised as one).
