I share your interest.

To speed up a process, I usually try to identify the rate-limiting step (the constraint.)

I would guess that one of the factors that affects the time required to see through the illusion of a separate, egoic self, is "How badly do you want a
much better existence than the one you've been living?"

Invalidating a low-level assumption of the kind we are discussing has to trigger a lot of re-evaluation by a person. In other words, it really turns everything on its head. I think people are often very smart, in a sub-conscious way, and they can see where self-inquiry might lead, and they say to themselves, in essence, "Screw that. Too scary!"

On the other hand, if you're really suffering, you'll probably pay a high price to escape it.
> by the culture or the environment, but by parenting.

uhm, so much of our culture and education comes directly from schools and media, not from our parents.

in fact, it's likely that most people learn not to ask question in a school-setting. hence we're (hoping that not anymore) in a culture that causes such low-self esteem by means of its educational institutions.

interactions with institutionally defined authority figures whose job is to teach (i.e. to parent you without the emotional bonds of your real parents) are a root cause.

the root cause is this culture which induces such problems with its relentless hirearchical control (authority) logic.
> Android has _88%_ of the global market share.

We're talking about America and how the DOJ needs to disrupt domestic corporate abuses.

> What average user side loads apps?

Kind of my point. Google makes it scary. Apple prevents it outright. In reality, everything should be distributed over the web.

> Both Apple AND Google have to pay 15% for all commerce originated

No they do not. They pay peanuts to maintain the biggest and most profitable walled gardens in the world. Adding little to the world while taxing the up and coming innovators.

> Apple is doing what Amazon did/does best

Amazon deserves the same treatment.

> could lead to security bedlam if improperly executed

This describes everything ever. Software isn't too dangerous to use.

> you're more than welcome to use Firefox and Chrome

Reskinned Safari. Woefully out of date with standards.

> Having a partnership with Apple is a good thing. You'll be associated with quality build and security.

I'll get billed margins that I need to pay my employees. I just want to write software, not pay the mafia boss that built an empire.

> you're developing for their phone

It's not their phone anymore - it's society's gateway to the Internet and ecommerce. The DOJ needs to catch up. Break up Apple and Google or put them into straightjackets.

> bring up Nintendo here

A kid toy, a sliver of the economy, replete with dozens of alternatives. You don't do banking, physical commerce, architectural design, or meet strangers to fuck with your Wii.

The world doesn't need kid gloves. Every time you step into a car you face death.

It's time to make competition from the bottom healthy again.
At least they didn't just keep the money.
I'm far more worried about Google. Google is practically unavoidable, and has connections to US Intelligence who can actually harm me. I've never used TikTok, and if I had it's not like the CCP can do anything to me anyway so I wouldn't care as much.
Haha, small world
Yet, your statement makes it clear that Apple didn’t install nets at Foxconn’s factory. So the original statement was objectively false as was the implication it was needed when US collages have higher suicide rates.

Apple doesn’t have real control over Foxconn any more than Microsoft, Sony, Google, Nintendo, etc who all use them, but people where competing for those jobs.
There are many thousands more.
He is not exonerated. The state has 30 days to decide whether they want to try him again, and I believe are waiting on some DNA test results to make that determination.
Haha, indeed! Fixed.

On that note, I always end up using an HP 48g emulator on my phone as my main calculator app. I've been using Droid48 for many years now [0]. I'd initially looked at most of the native mobile calculator apps before realizing that since I was comparing them all with the HP 48 experience, I might as well just use an emulated HP 48 and be done with it.

On a laptop or desktop, though, I've come to use Emacs Calc [1] pretty heavily. There's a surprising amount of power in it. It's pretty cool to be able to do things like operate on matrices of symbolic expressions via a stack interface.

Emacs is basically a textual application library (a curses alternative). It's often perceived as a text editor, but not using Magit because it's implemented on Emacs is like not using X because it's implemented on curses

He is the CTO. If he advocates for Rust this much in his personal life, he will advocate it at work. Because he truly believes it will make things better.

Azure will inevitably use Rust more.
By current progress, I wouldn't be surprised in ten years if that were viable.
If I understand correctly, the reason the developers are picky about it is because imgui has become common vernacular for a certain style of gui rendering. You have retained mode guis rmguis, and immediate mode guis, imguis.

It would be like if you initially named your project SQL before SQL was just a common name for any query language in a SQL-like syntax. Almost nobody actually means the SQL that IBM made when they say they use SQL, instead they usually mean they use SQLServer, or MySQL, or SQLite, or etc. Technically they are all SQL, but they all have slightly different functions and massively different internals. In the same way, there are several imgui libraries that all have similar APIs and architectures, but it's good to be specific about which specific library you're using.
They got really serious about ending issues after bad publicity.
Right. It's "wrong" in the sense that Apple pays another company to deal with horrifying working conditions in their absence.
I’m pretty sure the Snowden leaks made it clear how the US chooses to treat its allies. So no, to anyone outside the US, Tik Tok isn’t substantially different from Facebook.

And what happens when Larry Ellison (who is a big GOP donor) sues saying that public access laws violate the 4th Amendment proscription on government seizure.

He loses in district court and appellate court.

He then appeals to the US Supreme Court, where in sympathy for the plight of rich people and their privacy, overturns all public beach access laws.
How is that policing the police? Are disparities supposed to be evidence of something nefarious going on? Given that there are fundamental distinctions between members in different groups (otherwise they would be in the same group) and almost certainly many other non-fundamental distinctions that correlate with the group-defining distinction, is it not entirely plausible that there should be disparities in police statistics even when police act appropriately 100% of the time?
Phoebe Gloeckner, the author of the graphic novel “The Diary of a Teenage Girl” (2002) and an associate professor at the University of Michigan, was accused of “curriculum-based trauma” by students in a comics course, in part because she showed them Crumb’s work

As a society, we need to come together and move past things like curriculum-based trauma. Not good for anyone.

Talk about moving goal posts
Exactly. The way you get people to eventually adopt a whole new paradigm is by nudging them one tiny bit at a time, seek to change like 1% of their world view — whatever the lowest hanging fruit you can find.

Rinse and repeat, slowly as culture changes. Over many years, decades.

One generation later, the then-normalized world view can be diametrically opposed to what it had been for centuries, in many regards, even core aspects.

Such socio-cultural phenomena rarely last beyond 3-ish generations in history, though. More like 25 years. Usually the whole thing collapses under its own contradictions (not without friction, sometimes violent). But beyond a certain time under the spell, and/or if experienced too young, most people don't come back (not fully, not really). To this day you may hear old US politicians still believe old US propaganda (now all but officially acknowledged as such) that they simply can't shake off their world view.

It's one of those things that, when pushed too far for too long, society only moves on once most people who lived under that era have passed away, and new unaffected generations take over.
The difference is that TAL is a radio show that was also distributed as podcast.

It is ridiculous, but chess history has a lot of silly drama at the top levels, so whatever. It's less silly to me than Carlsen throwing his title by refusing to play the next world championship, but again, whatever.
Yeah, but a lot of it has (unfortunately) dissapeared. Especially during the anti-German episode related to WWII. Assimilation happens by various means.
Infosec is partucularly horrible at this. You have twitter rock stars who do legit know their shit but being human means they sometimes lack the right perspective and experience which can lead to posts that are incorrect or lead people to misunderstand their opinions. "AV is bad", "VPN is bad", "just convert your AD network to mac" stuff like that and then you have their fans who sometimes don't think for themselves.

The main argument for Twitter is it has the most reach compared to activitypub or other alternatives.

My main argument against it is it basically turns into an 80s era highschool with "cancel" bullies, popular people and their fans and outcasts and it is not easy to engage in discourse over it.

If only their was HN for the hacking type of hackers (security focused).
Calling him the Azure CTO is strictly accurate, but HN readers probably know Mark Russinovich better as one of the primary developers of sysinternals[1].

I bring that up to highlight the weight of his opinion: Russinovich is legendary in terms of his systems programming contributions.

Usually means trying to disrupt someones employment or have them removed from being able to publish on the internet. These days it's powerful enough if a popular streamer is after you, they can have your domain name provider, email host, phone number provider, and infrastructure hosts shut you down which at that point you are gone.
> Crumb put a spotlight on it, not promote it.

It’s about sacred cows, not policy or w/e you or I may agree with. I should be able to and even feel obliged to question and criticize whatever is considered conventional or the company line regardless of which group or organization it’s coming from.

“Worst enemy” in this case refers to TikTok, not “the Chinese”.
Yes they would work with the gatekeepers. But they would absolutely not take funding from the gatekeepers, that's absurd.
Unless you cap the allowed funding from large business to be some fraction of the combined funding from small business, all you're doing as a group purporting to support small business is signing up to either become a talking head for large business or a painful reckoning later when they find a substantial portion of their projecting funding disappeared, possibly leaving them insolvent based on current cash outflow.

Maybe, if they're extremely lucky and prescient, they can quickly leverage that money into increased exposure and other funding sources so they can reduce what they take from big business, whether relatively or in total.

It's just like a small business signing one account that is worth multiple of all the other accounts put together. Either you use that money to diversify as soon as you can or you're just a subsidiary in all but name.
Well if you don't believe it when even the WaPo says that the WaPo hasn't been influenced by the owner of the WaPo, I don't know how to convince you.
Do you honestly think Apple does not want you to repair your own device? They would absolutely sh*t kittens to have you buy replacement parts from them!

The problem is that smartphones are super complex devices, able to withstand dust, rain, drops, and more. In order to do that, they have complex internals, which AMONG OTHER THINGS (like heat dissipation and RF I/O) are designed to support mentioned goals.

Current gen iPhones can be dropped onto concrete at arms-length and not suffer from a broken screen or back. Think about that for a moment. Could you build a smartphone that could do that, and have amazing battery life along with desktop performance?

Note that I'm absolutely not affiliated with Apple, or a shareholder.

I feel like some folks downplay the amount of engineering that goes into the iPhone, and to a somewhat lesser extent, ANY mobile device. For many of us, these things live in our pockets and our hands. They are expected to have many hours of screen time, play games, let us read books, etc. They aren't simple devices, especially the current gen iPhones Apple has been pushing out.
But couldn't an insurance company mechanism be used for a law enforcement policy? Or would the ubiquity of an insurance company mechanism keep law enforcement from getting their hands on it? Instead of the potential for conviction, people would just pay increased premiums?

Kinda like the idea that you need to spend your money in your local economy so people are incentivized to participate in it rather than mug you?

> So, it's not really a surprise that theyve declared open season on nuclear power plants.

So getting butthurt is an unsurprising justification for attacking nuclear power plants?

Don't store materiel inside the nuclear plant. Don't fire missiles from the nuclear plant. Don't use the nuclear plant for cover. Don't invade Ukraine. Problem solved.

I don't understand how any position Russia has in this context, matters at all. Just fucking go away. None of this would have happened if Russia didn't start a war of aggression against its neighbor.

Why does Visual Studio need to support Rust when VS Code has amazing Rust support?
wow, thanks so much for the kind words! Didn't think people would see this, let alone for it to show up on Hacker News haha. Hope you get a lot of use out of it!
yah, after a while, asking for help feels like reaching frontline tech support (or first-page google results) over and over and getting the "did you restart?" answer. it's often not only not helpful, but a real drag on finding a useful answer.

in daily life, folks intrinsically tend to curate others who give them good answers (information), and that's how such 'masters'[0] gain real esteem. typically you realize through experience what questions these 'masters' can answer well and what they can't, leading to genuine social bonds (trust is the real social currency but trust and good information tend to go hand-in-hand). this esteem is so valuable that others game our social systems to get it falsely, which is why social media is such a shitshow (not because of poor moderation as many seem to believe, since moderation doesn't actually change what people believe, except maybe at the margin, but esteem does).

basically, people who can answer questions well deserve esteem. the social awkwardness you describe come from people who don't deserve the esteem but want it (or worse, think they deserve it) anyway. and incidentally, the prevalence of this awkwardness is a dependable sign of social degradation (low-trust to low-ethics vicious cycle), as people generally have no problem admitting ignorance in high-trust environments.

To me this proves the party with the loudest voice and most money wins in the long run, or the squeaky wheel gets the grease. They just made a big enough stink for long enough that eventually someone caved in. I followed the podcast and definitely didn’t think the case that he was innocent was very strong.

>the slaughter of actual pension systems.

What are you talking about? Government-run pension systems, or company-run ones? The government-run one is called "Social Security" and it hasn't gone anywhere, and certainly hasn't been "slaughtered". It hasn't changed in ages really; the problem is there's fewer contributors and more recipients now due to population aging, so when the surplus runs out in 15 years, it'll be restricted to only incoming funds, so recipients will receive less.

Company-run pensions are indeed dead in America, for good reason, being replaced by 401k plans. Why would you want your retirement security tied to your former employer? What happens when the company mismanages the pension, or the company fails? This has happened many times here, with older people losing everything except the social security which isn't that much. That's why they moved to the 401k system, so retirement funds are put into the hands of a better-regulated 3rd party financial firm to be invested in securities.

I don't see the problem here. I have my issues with many things in America, but this is one thing they did right. It could be better: some 401k providers are much better than others, for instance (some have poor securities selections available, some have high fees, etc.), but overall it's much better than the old days of having a company pension.
On our product (air quality monitor[1]) we made the concious decision to design it for long life and repairability by e.g.:

- using no glue or snaps

- all components on one PCB, no thin cables that can break

- standard philips/torx screws

- four screws to open the enclosure, four screws to take out the pcb

- expensive sensor modules on pin sockets for easy reaplacement

- only using components that are certified for longe lifetime -even if they cost a few dollars more (e.g. DC to DC converter)

- not using plastic for packaging and we ask our supplier to not use plastic when sending us the parts (e.g. no bag around the USB cable etc)

We wrote about this [2] and often do presentations for customers and have a slide about this and it gets a great response and I believe gives us an advantage compared to competing products on the market. As the market more and more appreciates this, Apple probably also realized that this can be a competitive advantage and give them positive press.

"at some point, you will pick up your child for the last time, then set them down and not in the moment realize that you will never pick them up again"

I pick up my kids all the time because of this. My wife thinks I'm spoiling them, but there's a very limited period of picking them up.

Even the span of time where they're interested in you is limited. They have a fascination with their parents in the first few months, and then they start looking at things, and a few years later, at friends, then the material world. After that, you're happy just to get a call or visit. The new generation complains that homeownership is a distant dream, but I think living with parents may be a blessing in disguise.

You can read more about it in "Dying for an iPhone: Apple, Foxconn, and The Lives of China's Workers" by Jenny Chan, Mark Selden, and Ngai Pun. Published in 2020.
China dubiously rounded up an enormous number of Muslims often on extremely tenuous or nonsensical suspicion of being separatists, and released the vast majority of them, of not all of them, two or three years ago.

The US killed six million Muslims in the war on terror.

edit: so for perspective, only 13.5 million Uighurs exist in the world, and the vast majority survived the hardship and imposition China unleashed on them in a fairly brutal Sinoization campaign meant to stop a separatist movement that was using terrorism. The US killed 6 million Muslims to respond to 9/11, and virtually none of them were of the nationality or related to the people who hijacked the planes, who came from a close ally of the US. Instead, we killed Iraqis.
