You got the causation backwards. There are chat server with open API much before discord like IRC. The only reason discord or something else worked is because they got private funding and operates at loss for many years. And the only reason they got private funding is because they want to reap the benefits of monopoly on its users in future. So if there is some rule like you suggest, discord wouldn't even exist.
there's no discernible innovation in healthcare, at least if you go by any actual metric that would indicate that. Life expectancy in Cuba is higher than in the US, infant mortality in the US is higher than in any peer country, drug death rates are higher than in most if not all comparable nations, and so on.

The pharmaceutical industry might produce innovations concerning some rare diseases or whatever, but there's no discernible reason why that is, or should be paid for by the public healthcare sector.
If a $250 million subsidy gets you 2GW of solar/wind backed by pumped storage in 5 years and 1 GW of nuclear power in 20 years it doesnt really make much sense to split a $500 million pot of subsidy money 50/50 between the two.

We would get more GW for the buck by using subsidies to really accelerate the expansion of green power generation that is already cost effective without subsidies (solar/wind/pumped storage) rather than throwing money at a form of power generation that wouldnt even exist without subsidies.

If the subsidies were distributed on the basis of stability, GW output and availability then that would be efficient, effective and fair but that would kill off the nuclear industry entirely.
That seems like a scandal if they are looking at purchase history then basing repair protocol on that history

Not trying to be facetious but value on paper does not automatically translate to value in the real world. You can throw billions at a problem and not end up creating any net value. It happens all the time (ahem, government).

But to answer your question, I do think thousands of companies and individuals have gotten immense value by choosing to do their work at WeWork.
Interesting and good to know! CPython is really quite impressive with all of these little optimizations.
Well, repair is included in the hefty price tag. Anything else about this is just noise.
OK, imagine a 3 year old kid wants to go "pet the walrus". Are we going to be comfortable with a 3 year old kid winning a Darwin award? I know most people aren't, and their lack of decision on what to do will ruin their life as well as that of their families, and the family of the victim.

As a nature-lover and animal-lover, I hate what happened.

It’s a double edged sword. Their economies of scale are insane. But when shit goes wrong, it’s really bad.

A significant part of my business is sourcing lots and lots of computers. We’re assholes to our suppliers, and I can say that generally the parts that are the most reliable are devices that straddle the business and consumer space. Volume drives success, at a threshold price.

iPhones and Samsung Galaxies are almost problem free. Desktops are generally problem free until ~30 months. Laptops have higher failure rates, and cheaper device categories fail more than pricey devices. Last time I looked, MacBooks were among the most reliable, consistent with my experience.

Places like Gartner and IDC have this data. Usually you can find references to it online.

Opposing nuclear power was probably a mistake at scale. Now? it's too late to be effectively useful at scale, we can solve the problems via other methods but we've wasted 50 years of the problem by being "too green"

Something to remember - the median family in the '70's had one income. A median family today has two. So the margins (single income households) are in more dire straits today than they were in the past.

Measuring in households and not individuals hides a large number of changes in how people are paid. It also doesn't account for things like pensions, which were common in the '70's and earlier.
Java and C# are great too, but not as strongly typed as Ada.

Ada did not invent types, but it gives the developer an excellent toolkit for large scale projects.

Rust also has excellent typing and uses them superbly (e.g. Result).

I suppose that many lower level languages prefer strong types to help catch errors and enable optimizations that are harder to do without strong typing.

For higher level, strongly-typed languages, Haskell and Typescript are worth studying.
On top of that, boomers use the money they have against the people who don't have the money (e.g. by buying real estate, and also by speculating with it). So the problem is compounded.

This was super frustrating for me. I filed a related bug when loading the CACKey module stopped working.

While that bug didn't get fixed, I found out about two settings to do what you want.

Set security.enterprise_roots.enabled and security.osclientcerts.autoload to true in about:config and restart Firefox.

Doing that plus loading and trusting the appropriate certs in Keychain Access makes my CAC/PIV work.
Good luck to Steve and the team. I hope he has a broad remit, and can find a way to thrive while upholding Mozilla's values.

It took billions of years, but not so much of evolution itself but rather of saturating the entire atmosphere with oxygen, which was monumental work given they only had that much sunlight at the surface. Life has its limits (what doesn’t) but is very quick in a geological sense. Sadly there is not much time left for it.

> Housing is another red herring, of course, because the average new American home is 2x bigger now than it was in the 70s

My spouse and I ran into this when we were looking for our current home 5 years ago in Los Angeles. Even though we're older, it's just the 2 of us, so we didn't need something huge. It was really hard to find a reasonably-sized house for 2 people (plus a little room to have a guest stay over). It was really hard to find something because people who want huge houses kept buying small ones for more than asking price, then tearing them down and building a much bigger house on the same lot. The one we did eventually buy had even been enlarged sometime between the 50s when it was built and today.

This is all true, but I am guessing the article skipped it because rising healthcare costs likely impact Gen Z much less than the population overall.

Obamacare has allowed children to stay on their parent's insurance for much longer. All of Gen Z is still young enough to qualify for that, so as a generation they haven't felt the full cost of seeking insurance independently. Plus the overturning of the personal mandate means young people are once again free to simply not get insurance which is often a bad decision overall, but can end up saving a healthy young adult some money.

There is still something very wrong with the healthcare system in the US, it just isn't a problem that has hit Gen Z particularly hard yet.

That's the least generous, and least logical, possible take, and I'm the opposite of a fan of Amazon or AWS.

If a customer is not multi-region already, and if Amazon hasn't promised multi-region availability, then the customer has simply chosen the wrong product. It's not in anyone's interest for Amazon to waste resources rolling out a product that they can't sell, just because maybe someone wants to expand their existing use.

Less so after you correct for all of the things which we have to pay for out of pocket: health insurance, copays, drugs, etc. but also things like education, childcare, retirement, transportation, and often housing. I’ve known a number of people from Europe or Asia and all of them commented on how they thought they’d be making more here based on the raw income numbers, and how much more stressful it was here because you had to do more work yourself to get the same or lesser quality.

I think he's the very model of a crank - he's been actively pushing a hypothesis mainly defined for what it isn't for at least 30 years that's been kicking around for over 60 years that's failed to make a single successful prediction and repeatedly gets falsified and instead cherrypicks new results and goes "See! Everything about that model is wrong and therefore mine must be right." The Big Bang just broke some people.

> The problem is that phones are not meant to be hacked upon. They are meant to be used. Sure, it may feel nice to tinker and stuff but everything should just work before you can even consider it a daily driver.

This is no different than the stuff people said about desktop/personal computers in the pre-smartphone days. And yet plenty of us used linux desktops to participate in a web-centric society without significant trouble while preserving our computing freedoms.

What you're referring to as "phones" aren't even phones. For the vast majority of smartphone users making phone calls is rarely if ever done, despite carrying these devices 24x7x365. Hell they're not even capable of making phone calls anywhere near the low-latency high-quality experience of (land-line) phones.

They're computers without keyboards on a wireless network, plain and simple.

And computers are "meant" to be hacked upon.
and that is just the kind of assurance some consumers are willing to pay for.. with sophistication in manufacturing quality can be made to be varied from batch to batch. Sometimes they don't even bother, ie. I no longer trust board revision from gigabyte, same rev diff layout diff components are far too common. not sure how it's economical, but the fact that it IS economical tells me something is way off.
>few believe Stadia will stay around

I think the people that still think Stadia is gonna shut down any time soon are just the gamer blogs/communities that have been running shutdown rumor pieces every month or so for the last 3 years. (Most recently the killedbygoogle guy's "my friend heard on facebook that Stadia's shutting down..." post that went viral.)

Stadia's actively signing hardware deals with Samsung/LG and other smart TV manufacturers, and about to expand availability to even more countries. AFAICT most people that actually play on Stadia don't think it'll shut down any time soon.
Why not move to a job that pays more if you're qualified? I hate that CEO comp goes up just "because market" but staff wages are stagnant or lost entirely.
This reminds me of a David Letterman skit where Letterman was working at a Taco Bell drivethru. He told a customer that they were out of several drinks in a row and then said something like “ma’am, I need to know what drink you want so that I can tell you we’re out of it” in response to the lady asking what drinks did they have.
I wonder how does this look from the host's perspective? Does the SSD disappear (from a simulated SATA bus that supports hot plug) and reappear? Does it just temporarily return read errors before coming back to life but the underlying blocks have silently changed (I hope not)? Etc.
I'm curious what one can actually accomplish in 8 months in that role. I don't blame Steve for jumping around and probably getting a huge raise in the process - I see it happen all the time with the "leaders" in my organization who show up, say they're excited to learn, pitch a few ideas, make some sweet connections, and then are on to their next post 9 months later.

But I do blame the companies for repeatedly falling for these kinds of people.

What need does the tobacco industry serve that was not created through addiction and marketing?

The oil industry knows about the damage they've been doing to the planet for decades. But not only they ramped up production but also lobbied hard against any form of regulation that might affect their business. The result of this is not that we have a need for it, but dependence.

People work to be able to give themselves and their families a good life, everyone wants to be happy. That's it, what other justification is needed? Most of these industries might have been born from a need but their whole goal as they develop is to get society to depend on them so that the need is not covered by better (less impactful) industries.
Just target Flatpak. You got a standardised runtime, and glibc is included in the container. If it works on your machine, it'll work on my machine, since the only difference will be the kernel and Linus is pretty adamant in retaining compatibility at the syscall level.
>The problem as I see it is that Apple is relying almost entirely on the discretion of their retail staff instead of having a formal policy in place.

So, I worked behind the genius Bar about a decade ago, and can tell you that at least as of then (say iPhone 3g through 6 era) this was definitely not the case. There’s a policy for everything.

The issue is that you’re an individual, dealing with another individual who is acting as the intermediary between you and an extraordinarily large and complex logistics and record-keeping system.

If you left feeling taken care of and treated fairly, from apple’s POV that’s a successful interaction. But the procedure for getting there may deliberately not be customer-facing; that doesn’t mean the procedure doesn’t exist.

I can answer questions if people are interested, with the caveat that my info is (thankfully) not fresh.

> You could get a TV for less than $50 if it had the same features and processing power as it did in 2002. Same for computers.

Well have I ever got good news for you. Here's a random article about TV tech from 2002 that I just found on google [0] talking about the top of the line in display tech being a new 30 inch LCD TV that cost $8,000 (that would be $13,200 in today's dollars). Now twenty years later you can buy a 32 inch 720p LCD TV on Amazon for $99.

Same for computers, ever heard of a raspberry pi?

Social media is being used to undermine societies globally, arguably it has a fair chance of destroying humanity.

So I think that horse may have bolted already.
Billionaires are not a good model for what people will do if they don't have to worry about mortgages and bills, they're a model of what people will do when they have virtually no resource constraints whatsoever. If people don't have to cook, clean, give up vacations, sacrifice their hobbies and career goals, and can pay an army of servants to do any unpleasant childcare tasks, then yeah, I suppose they'll have more kids.

From what I've read a certain number of people do say that financial constraints cause them to have fewer children than they'd like, but stated preferences are not far enough above revealed preferences for that to change the result. In Hungary Orban is virtually throwing money at people to have more kids but the population is still declining. Countries with robust social safety nets are doing no better than those without. The only exception I'm aware of is Israel, primarily due to the Orthodox community.

EC2-Classic was not its own service. It was a specific configuration of EC2. They retired that configuration by providing a full migration path into a new system that could be configured to perfectly replicate the old system if you wanted it to. Having gone through that migration myself with a bunch of services a long time ago, this isn't really a good example of a thing that AWS has killed off.

I'd love a split, ortholinear, semi-ergonomic keyboard for a laptop but know it'll never happen on a mass-market device. The framework has the best change of making it possible because they couldd just sell that keyboard to those who want it without needing them to sell the rest of the laptop as part of the package. Still not likely to happen, but I can dream...
That doesn't make any difference; any methodological differences are just swamped by the erroneous double application of the price deflator in the comparison.

Where I am, you could return an Apple product whether you had AppleCare or not. I returned three 2009 iMacs before getting an OK one, never had AppleCare.

You might get “lucky” sometimes but generally insurance is sold at a profit, so if it’s something you can afford to self-insure (and it’s legal), you’re usually better off with that in the long run. AppleCare isn’t bad, though, IMO.
Those are features.
