In principle I would agree, but the world isn't black and white. First of all, in the PC world, there are few machines which are completely and well documented. That Linux runs on so much PC hardware is more due to the popularity than great documentation. NVidia just recently finally open sourced their drivers.

Could Apple improve the documentation a lot? For sure! Bu on the other side, the ARM Macs are a very nice platform, so I can understand the desire to use it. There is no competition at the moment, so it would be wrong too, to not support Linux there.
> Bitcoin is bad because most of Hacker News missed the boat

Having a currency get worse as a medium of exchange over time isn't about being salty over "missing the boat". I cannot imagine a usecase for Bitcoin, I can imagine a usecase for DAI or RAI.

According to Bitcoin maximalist logic I should be burning or cutting down the rainforest in 2013 to make a quick buck and then retire on my Bitcoin going up in value than actually work.
I’ve recently started hearing this form of pedantry, but I’m not sure I understand it. “Performant” seems to be defined by the New Oxford American dictionary as “performing well” and claims it is mostly used in computing contexts. What’s the issue with saying “most performant”?
Too late to reply now, others have already jumped in with splendid answers. :-)
I didn’t say centralization works well. My point is that anything “decentralized” becomes not so or if not, doesn’t work well.

Do you have examples of something decentralized that has stayed so and was not taken over by centralization or became highly bottlenecked or continued to work well?
Losing a potential customer and winning them back again
While the state could have prevented people from using refrigerators or vacuum cleaners in various ways (as you say, banning or limiting sales, but also making it illegal and relying on the near-ubiquitous network of infromants to tell on neighbours who vacuumed or used too much electricity), the point is that they didn't. Refrigerators were a common household item in Romanian cities at least, and so were vacuum cleaners. They were produced by Romanian factories and sold very much legally. While electrical blackouts were a problem, they were not prolonged enough to prevent the usefullness of a refrigerator (they commonly happened during the night, and a closed refrigerator can typically isolate well enough to preserve its temperature for 6-8h).
> In 2020, a Pew study revealed that more than half of 18- to 29-year-old Americans were living with their parents.

This is the part I think we all need to be talking about more. It’s a huge root cause of everything else the article discusses.

I have come to understand adulthood as being centered on responsibilities, and adult behaviour as handling those responsibilities well. The transition to adulthood is the gradual accumulation of responsibilities, and the cultivation of adult behaviour is the process of learning to handle them.

Living with parents is a barrier to that progression. It defers basic responsibilities like funding your own food and shelter. It makes relationships harder to start, and having children of your own seems out of reach.

Now, there are other sources of responsibility that are attainable while living in mom’s basement. You can still go out to work. You can still have a responsibility to a cause. And maybe the reason you are still at home is to care for your parents. But for a great many people, seemingly including the article author, living at home is a source of shame - a failure to launch.

I can see two ways forward here. Either we manage to address the economic issues that make independent living unaffordable. Or we rediscover multigenerational households as a virtue. There are many advantages to having grandparents, parents and children all together as a unit. If we can destigmatize living with parents, perhaps we can stop treating it as a waiting room for responsibility, and unblock progress towards adulthood.
you're right, nothing i said inherently prevents GPL licensing, but the existing license terms of the code they write themselves and license from others does inherently prevent GPL licensing. I thought that was clear, but apparently I need to be more deliberate with my comments.

> The Arab spring in 2010 was triggered by a food price spike essentially driven by a rally on wheat futures

The article tries to blame "financial speculators" for everything but IMHO, the actual root cause beyond this, which we again see at play with supply issues caused by the Ukraine war, is that those Arab countries have seen a huge population boom since the 1950s and are extremely reliant on wheat imports to feed their population (bread being a staple food).

When you're not very rich and rely on imports for basics like food, any bumps in the road will trigger big problems.

As an example of a country extremely vulnerable and heavily impacted by the Arab Spring: Egypt's population was 21 million in 1950 and it is 105 million today. It is also, and as a consequence, a top importer of wheat...

> It was very clear that Brexit was in large part driven by the global refugee crisis

Nothing obliged Europe (especially Germany) to adopt essentially an open door policy. The "refugee crisis" was a policy decision, which was clearly a bad idea but the narrative is so skewed that just pointing this out means being labelled "rightwing populist" as in the article.

In theory. The wealth gap and inequality would say otherwise. The percentage of people who own as much as the bottom 60% is in the sub thousandths of a percentage. It’s so small I can’t remember the amount of zeros after the decimal point.
I don't think that's old age. a young president could serve a single term, lose re-election and still be under 40. In their post-presidency they have the freedom of not pandering in order to be re-elected so they can speak freely. But this is independent of their age/mortality.
I was told to call it “splat” (so long ago I could not attribute the source). Or maybe thats just a Bay Area thing?
I wouldn't say I liked the article, but it did have some nuance to it and ended with mostly an opposite conclusion:

"The seemingly extreme ways in which adults now play, from Zillennial runway models dressing like kindergarteners, to ‘cuddle parties’, to grownups who choose to marry at Disney resorts – all of it, and more to come – is a reaction to the extreme times in which we find ourselves living. The entire planet may be experiencing its own lost decades now – young and old are suffering. But, as the Japanese experience shows us, embracing our inner child isn’t necessarily a denial of reality. It can pave the way to an entirely new one. The Great Regression isn’t really a regression at all. It’s a sign of resilience in the face of profound adversity. When a child is born, it’s impossible to predict what they might become. Who can say what will emerge from our second childhoods?"

But I do question the wisdom of porting this game to Stadia. It has only a single user review on Steam after having been out on that platform for four months. Even if only one in a thousand people leave reviews, that suggests a revenue of only $2500 or so, or more like $1750 after steam takes their cut. How can it possibly make financial sense to spend nearly half a year porting this game to an even smaller platform?

can you, as a lawyer for Microsoft, make a guarantee to the business that if allowed, a software developer at Microsoft who works on the Windows source code will not ever reproduce a method they saw in a GPL codebase in the code they write for their job?

You can not. So what do you do to prepare for a lawsuit which alleges that you've copied GPL code into the Windows codebase? You have technical and legal barriers in place so that those developers can't see GPL code where you can control that, and make them promise that they won't do anything to compromise the license of the Windows code that they work on. Technical and legal (read: contractual) measures to prevent this are the defense that one needs to have in order to defend against a case like this, in court.

So, because you, as a Microsoft attorney, can't guarantee that GPL code won't be reproduced verbatim in any quantity in the Windows codebase, you do what you can to dissuade your developers from looking at GPL code.

please think for 2 seconds on your own and I won't have to ELI5.

> Our family Mac we got in ~2011 did show Apple as the new tab page, or at least the start page when you opened Safari after booting

Pretty certain this is also incorrect.

My recollection seems to accord with the Wikipedia page on the history of the Safari browser which (although it doesn’t itemize the default StartPage for each version) doesn’t cite any inclusion of an AppStore link, as far as I can see.

[O] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safari_(web_browser)
Both in Chrome and Firefox, I always set my new tab page to `about:blank`, or in other words, absolutely nothing. Why? Because the address bar is all I need to get where I'm going. I type faster than I click.

Growing up with Mac computers at school in the 90's, teachers referred to ⌘ as the "splat" key.

The premise is not having a strong technical position either way. It is advocating a consistent position - we should be effective at whatever we do next.

You'll notice that both scenarios involve a careful treatment of the risks involved, there is no point in looking for opportunities if the person responsible for choosing the level of risk tolerance doesn't want to tolerate the risk of looking. The only thing being modulated is enthusiasm for leaping into an uncertain situation.
People misunderstand the Peter Principle.

Why do you think our startup heroes were failed from below, rather than simply "having been promoted to the level of their incompetence"?

Dilbert, et al, rewrote the principle as, you promote the incompetent so they don't interfere with the real work. Or maybe that brown-nosers get promoted until they get fired. Or that the more incompetent you are the more you get promoted. But it's always been about how smart people who do good work end up in over their heads.

The reward for a job well done is another job, a harder or different job. Eventually you run up against a harder, bigger, different job you just can't hack. It doesn't matter if you're being promoted by your manager, yourself, or the invisible hand of the market.
Although I see the appeal of this, the MAJOR flaw is that California allowed a private right of action, unlike the Colorado law.

It’s inevitable that lawyers will weaponize this as a new source of revenue, just like patent trolls and ADA lawsuits do with copy and paste lawsuits. And those lawsuits will disproportionately fall on smaller companies without in-house lawyers and the resources to fight them, just like they have with ADA lawsuits and patent trolls.

The police union would claim they have an inviolable right to shoot somebody who is running away in the back and it’s a position that makes sense if you assume their point of view.

Similarly, some would say an employer has an inviolable right to hire or not hire somebody. When you look at it collectively though, most would say the government can promote full employment or at least fight unemployment. A firm doesn’t have to hire a particular black person but if it never hires a black person that’s another thing.

Sexual choice is frequently self-destructive and potentially destructive to society as a whiole. It is not at all fashionable in 2022 to talk about this but throughout most of history it has been taken for granted that your reproductive capacity doesn’t just belong to you but belongs to your species insofar as it effects who is going to be around when you are gone.

One basic conflict that your sexual choice in 2022 also belongs to the you in 2042, who might have a very different perspective than you do now. In particular many women are making sexual choices that put off reproduction now and eventually find their fertility is expiring and now they can’t make the sexual choice to do what many people find is one of the most meaningful things you can do.

The corresponding male complaint (who suffer at age 20 as opposed to age 40) is on the order of ‘systemic racism’. In fact sexual attraction, as in being a victim of seduction, involves a certain alienation from the self. You will always misunderstand something that is fundamentally interpersonal if you have no language other than individualism to talk about it.

Roughly it seems that 80% of the women are attracted to 20% of men and this makes for a many great thought experiments. It explains why women frequently say ‘Men (I am attracted to) won’t commit’ because those fortunate (dare I say privileged?) men don’t have to commit. The experience of the average man is invisible and unheard because we are stoic, tend to blame ourselves instead of society, and when we do speak people erase us and replace our image with very privileged men like Harvey Weinstein.

Fun! I didn't know somebody had an OSS project that did this - 22 years ago.
The abstract of their paper reminds me of the story about the early Amazon team setting up a bell to ring in their office every time they sold a book.

Two years ago, I wrote a similar tool [1] to play notes in a C-Major scale based on the moving average of network events on a network interface.

The amount of dependencies the project has makes the cost of getting the thing to run much higher than the satisfaction of it running! Not fun!

I will go out on a limb and say that a times-series of system performance somewhere on your desktop is a better solution long term than listening to sounds that you play continuously from a speaker.
