Nope. I had my closest friendships in high school and college. I haven't talked to any of those people in 30+ years (nor have any of them reached out to me). Careers, relocations, families happened. Life has forks like this where paths separate and never rejoin.

And no, I didn't make new friends in the same way. Being young with a lot of time and no responsibilities doesn't ever come back.

There has been a major ten year push inside of government to try and get companies (especially those in tech) to start decoupling from
China on national security grounds as a way to get a similar outcome and not leave the US companies massively exposed to sudden action like sanctions.

Those calls have mostly gone unanswered and Apple in particular has repeatedly gone out of its way to double down on its China relationship over that same time period.

This is not in response to this particular protest. iOS16 just dropped, so the timing was coincidental I guess.
The last point always confuses me. Twitter can show ads to me without me having an account. Instead, they block me from reading on Twitter after a few tweets, thus loosing my eyeballs. Maybe that's compensated by signups, but it certainly didn't work for me.
Conversely, making accounts with a VPN has become essentially impossible, which is extremely limiting even if the rationale makes sense
I was going to mention Bun and Deno. The crux of the issue/challenge is that there is so much to do. So incredibly much. JS tooling written in {not-JS} (i.e. Deno, Bun, esbuild, etc) needs developers to buy in to the new language and ecosystem, which has proven pretty much impossible. Just look at esbuild - as far as my search goes, it has not a single Golang plugin, yet >100 JS ones. My fear is that we will keep on getting tools like Bun, esbuild, etc., but the JS community never really embraces it and we are forever stuck in JS-zig or JS-Go or JS-{whatever} interop land for JS tooling.

This article makes out China's social credit system to be much nicer than how Wikipedia portrays it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Credit_System#For_indiv...

> behavior listed as positive factors of credit ratings includes donating blood, donating to charity, volunteering for community services, praising government efforts on social media, and so on [..] 26.82 million air tickets as well as 5.96 million high-speed rail tickets had been denied to people who were deemed "untrustworthy" [..] According to Sarah Cook of Freedom House, city-level pilot projects for the social credit system have included rewarding individuals for aiding authorities in enforcing restrictions of religious practices, including coercing practitioners of Falun Gong to renounce their beliefs and reporting on Uighurs who publicly pray, fast during Ramadan, or perform other Islamic practices.

It's a puff piece, trying to convince us that because it's not yet as terrible as the worst we've seen on Black Mirror, it's nothing to worry about, despite every indication that's the direction it's headed.

Just no, capsaicin doesn't make it into the brain to do chemical changes there, which I think is what one typically means by psychoactive. By the authors' definition sugar and salt would also be psychoactive substances, and hitting your foot with a hammer would qualify as a psychoactive experience.
are people really surprised the world biggest corporation has to cave to the worlds second largest economy? What do people expect really? Do people even understand the kind of incentives at play here?

What does this have to do with the quality of their products?

Apple is an artificial entity, a corporation and it's only loyalty by design is with the wallets of it's shareholders.

What's surprising about this?

It sounds like a paradox that there would be simultaneous epidemics of loneliness and and standoffishness but they cause each other. In one direction the cause is obvious, in the other lack of socialization causes people's "calibration" to go off as their learned tolerance to unexpected things fades. Real social interactions involve a lot of imperfection and what you sometimes see is that without being desensitized, lonely people's standards can be unreachable. (Other commenters have alluded to this being a result of hyper stimulation on TikTok but it predates it.)
In general the problem is that there are very few players in even the same general space as Apple, and practically none of them seem to really be chasing the same market as Apple, so for many Apple users there's basically no suitable substitute. It lets them have entire dud releases (several models in a row of macbooks, for instance) but if you start looking around for alternatives it quickly becomes clear you'll gain two or three problems for every one you avoid, even when Apple releases an unusually-bad version of one of their products.

It's like that with everything. "Apple spies on you more than you might think"—OK, that's bad and I'd rather they didn't, but who's better? Hell, who's not worse? And god no, not Linux, I did that for over a decade and I mean a product that you can pay for to solve problems for you, like computers and tools generally are supposed to do, not one you can spend a bunch of time manually tuning and working around various limitations and problems and still not have something as useful as Apple's stuff in actual day-to-day real-world life. I want to solve problems, I don't want another hobby of maintaining my problem-solving machine, that crap's why people hate computers so much.

No surprise it's like this, really—there are two smartphone operating systems and three viable desktop operating systems (I'm being generous and counting ChromeOS) controlled by three total vendors. Of course the market's totally fucked up.
There is virtually zero risk of an oxygen toxicity seizure in the 1.2 - 1.4 atm range. I don't think there has ever been a confirmed case of a sport diver toxing at that level. We normally target about 1.2 atm for the working phase of the dive (reduce slightly for long exposures) and 1.6 for deco (with back gas breaks for long oxygen stops).

Narcosis is an issue with nitrogen and oxygen (as well as most other gasses). Helium is the exception. It is a noble gas and has no real narcotic effect; rather the opposite. Other noble gasses such as argon are much more narcotic than nitrogen and aren't used as diving breathing gasses (outside of a few limited experiments).

The other problem with nitrogen and oxygen is that they are relatively dense and so at greater depths they cause increased work of breathing, which in turn causes CO2 accumulation. CO2 is itself highly narcotic, and has other negative physiological effects. So for deeper dives we add progressively more helium to the mix.
>Is it the changing economy?

Reddit, Pinterest et all definitely were super pushy before the economy changed to the worse.
On the lending-side. I just want to give a big customer shoutout to Unchained Capital (https://unchained.com) for making it through this mess. I took out some collateralized loans this past year for my startup and looked at both them and BlockFi.

I've had the long unfortunate history of being burned several times (Mt Gox, Pirate@40, Friedcat/ASICMiner...). BlockFi of course had a significantly lower interest rate, but Unchained designed their product and messaging around trust (primarily using multisig wallets and promise that they don't rehypothecate)--which, after my experiences, sold me. It was a little painful to go with the higher interest rate, but damn am I now glad that I did.

Any local alternative app store is a far easier target for government censorship. Look at Chinese and Russian Android app stores. They comply immediately, often without even publicizing that. Apple at least takes longer to force to comply.
Twitter is far too dangerous to be allowed on the app store

Has this actually happened, or is just another attention-seeking rumor being misrepresented as fact?
Yes, because adults in general have less time to spend with friends than someone who's younger, more mobile (live downtown vs the suburbs) and has fewer responsibilities.

But loneliness is up among all generations, including those who are in the right time and right place (post-secondary). Many reasons for this as well, including the impact of internet and social media. People are less willing to give others a chance because Tinder/Tiktok/IG has trained them to think that another more interesting experience could be right around the corner.

I installed the app. Reading the text above I expected to see a list of predefined jsons/urls from which I could choose. To get instant gratification ;-) But instead I need an url (no idea, just opening this for the first time) plus link to your website with a long text describing the format.

Would be better if you at least provide a list with example urls.

Idea: add a simple editor to directly edit jsons (tweak them) on my phone.
Would (pun unintended) this be better than growing hemp or bamboo on already clear cut land and making that into 2x4s, 4x4s and 4x8 plywood? Hemp can grow two crops per season and bamboo can grow feet per day. There are already companies making hemp wood.
Parler got shut down because the entire tech industry was in full-scale panic mode at potentially having helped Trump incite a riot to interfere with the US presidential election.

As for Discord, Apple actually has special privileges to ban certain NSFW servers they don't like from being viewed on an iOS device. If they were to act "more" to stop child abuse and extremism, then we'd be talking about how Apple is censoring Discord for Android users.

For good measure let's also point out that an App Store reviewer found CSAM on Tumblr and browbeat the company into banning all nudity and porn.

The only constant of tech company moderation is that it's consistently inconsistent. Strictly speaking, Apple cannot permanently cut off every competing social network, because nobody would buy a phone with no social networking apps on them. But they can whisper in the companies' ears and demand they do a certain thing (e.g. Discord's banned-from-Apple toggle). The really big events (Parler, Tumblr) happen because of breakdown of process, not because Apple only acts when people are looking.

I think it should be mentioned that during this era, the whole idea of a GUI was still a relatively new concept to most people. It had been less than a decade since the Mac popularized the idea. It's akin to how long it took for cars to standardize on the accelerator, brake and clutch configuration. It didn't happen overnight. When I went to college in the early 90s, most of my fellow students had dedicated word processors or, less commonly, DOS PCs (and one Amiga), as an example of what was the norm. The only reason I used a Mac was that I was in the design program, where Desktop Publishing was experiencing its heyday. But I could never have afforded one.

In 2022, the idea of an average person not understanding what a mouse is for is almost inconceivable. But in 1992-1994 when "Chicago" was being developed? The majority of the planet still hadn't seen one, let alone used one. Discoverability wasn't a nice-to-have, it was paramount to Windows 95's success.

Amazingly, Gates and company realized this and put a ton of effort into UX research as a result. They could have easily dropped the ball transitioning from 3.1's GUI (think Windows 8 as a counter example), so they deserve a lot of credit for getting it right.
"This really doesn't ring true outside of school/university years."

I agree. At this point in life, I just want people to leave me alone. It seems like there isn't any time to make friends anyways.
Maybe one of the websites you use frequently doesn't have good support for WebKit. They make sure Chrome works, and often test Mozilla, but 80% of the time they roll out a new feature it's broken in WebKit for a couple of weeks before the devs fix it. Yeah, you'd like to go to a different website, but you've had an account on this one for over a decade and know a lot of other users, or they get scoops that none of their competitors do, so that's just not going to work for you.

Or, the other browser implements part of the `webext` API that WebKit does not, and there's an extension out there that you'd really like to use. Maybe one that integrates with your existing password manager, or rewrites Twitter URLs to nitter.net, or whatever, and the extension just won't work with WebKit.

Or, maybe WebKit's JavaScriptCore just isn't fast enough for some web-based game you like, and you'd like to run a browser that uses V8 or SpiderMonkey instead.

You're right, a lot of users don't have these problems, and don't care... until maybe one day they do. And maybe 99% of users will never have these problems at all, but 1% of Apple's userbase is still a lot of users who could benefit from browser choice, one day.
I'd be willing to except that my definition of "friends" aligns with your definition of "mates".

You can't demand too much too fast from compiler developers or you end up with Itanium. C++20 still isn't widely available. MSVC doesn't even support all of C11.
Apple quite literally had a scandal where it was exposed in court that they deliberately slow older devices down to prematurely make them appear obsolete so that users will discard them sooner. I'm sure there are Android devices that do this too, but Apple really shouldn't be applauded for the longevity of their devices.
I feel sorry for your lower intestinal tract.
> You can use it privately as well.

Yeah yeah. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a publishing platform. If you don’t think Twitter is about public conversation then you take a look at it for yourself some time.
This reasoning doesn't seem particularly sound to me. On the topic of knowing whether or not something's been censored from reaching your attention, it's possible that censorship efforts prevented you from even hearing about an app that you would want to install, which is not available in the default store. Consider a person in China who has never heard of Tank Man and how they might think they don't experience censorship (or, at least, Tank Man is not included in the censorship they do believe they experience).

Points you make in other comments about how official app stores are relatively "safe" for the average user are strong and I don't want to sound like I disagree with your conclusion. Just that this reason to believe "I have not experienced censorship" is misguided.
It's not, it is just a term in common usage taken to the extreme in an attempt to be clever, in contravention of all conversational norms. I don't think there is any definition of tolerance that is mathematically sound and absolute.

It would be like saying "a peaceful person would never punch someone in the nose". But what if you needed to punch someone in the nose because they were trying to kill you for no reason? That doesn't mean peaceful people don't exist, or that peaceful people need to let random people murder them. It just means that the determination of peacefulness is contextual.
That's not lean. FB had less than that in total employees before they went public, at which point they were already profitable and had over a billion users.

In the US, you can usually make a right turn on red light if there are no oncoming vehicles.

So you stop at the stop bar, before the crosswalk. No one is walking in cross walk, so you inch into crosswalk to see if there are cars, and then you might see a line of cars, and by the time they are gone, someone might want to walk across in the crosswalk, but your car is in it.

Obviously, one can simply not turn right on red, but that is not how most people drive.

This problem is actually unavoidable at intersections with stop signs on one road but not the other road, which is where I encounter it most. There, drivers have no choice but to encroach into crosswalk to see.
If you haven't noticed the chorus of coastal media types asking for people they disagree with to be prevented from speaking in any public forum, then you are truly oblivious.
> We’ve gone way beyond pasture just “being there” to rely on for animal agriculture at the rate we do it. Look at BLM grazing rates which are there to pay for renewing the grassland but to rate limit how many animal graze or the grassland would be destroyed. Amazon in Brazil is also being cut back constantly to create new pasture land

A large part of America was already grassland. Many other parts the land aren't great, but cattle can still graze over it even with really sparse or dry vegetation.

> If doing things inefficiently just to create jobs is a good idea, we might as well ban shovels and backhoes and make everyone dig with spoons

I'm talking about families raising cattle on their private land and continuing to do so, not about banning shovels, backhoes, or meat.
I still believe that the file manager XTree for MS-DOS had the best user interface of any file manager that I have ever used, in Windows, OS/2, Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux or MacOS, allowing one to perform any task with a minimum of key presses. It already had separate histories for each text field of the user interface, in which items could be made persistent. Even today, most programs with GUIs have much more poorly implemented histories, if they have them.

Also for MS-DOS, the BRIEF editor for programmers used tiling windows and (optionally) a menu-driven interface that was better designed than that of most later text editors. It also allowed the redefinition of what happens when any key on the keyboard is pressed. The default action of inserting in the text the associated character could be replaced by an arbitrary script, which made easy the implementation of things like auto-completion or syntax coloring.

Nevertheless, even if some important applications in Windows 95 were still regressions from the point of the user interface in comparison with what was available for MS-DOS, Windows 95 looked much nicer than anything using the standard VGA text modes and it was the version to which I have switched from MS-DOS.

Even if I had previously tried Windows 3.0, 3.1 and 3.11, those had felt too much like useless toys, in comparison with the professional programs that I was using under MS-DOS. The Windows 95 taskbar was definitely a very important improvement over Windows 3.x.
A fork implies 2 diverging lines. Nobody's hand was forced in the ether versus ether classic fork.

Tether is centralized and a scam (and arguably a scam because it is centralized) and irrelevant to the discussion. Anyone can make any token they want and run it according to whoever's rules; this logic would indict the entire internet based on the existence of badly moderated websites.

And cryptography can be made a crime as well. Meanwhile, in the world we inhabit today rather than infinite hypothetical ones, no such thing is happening outside of totalitarian governments, and despite their effort, not one single crypto currency transaction has ever been successfully censored.
I'm pretty torn on all this. Obviously the 30% is exorbitant. But the positive effects from it are very hard to see once you are used to everything working.

Apple in many cases goes out of their way to avoid collecting your data. See Maps for example. Users' usage of Maps is associated with a random rotating identifier not tied to their accounts. This is quite different from Google Maps.

IMO its because the demand for ever growing growth (not only must we grow on last year (growth up 5%), but our growth must be faster (growth trajectory up 5%)) is running headlong into a shrinking economy. Anonymous users have always represented the best potential growth since they already use the service, so convincing them to convert should be easier than convincing someone who has never heard of the product.

Ergo, companies are getting ever more pushy, trying to convert the "78% of viewers who are not subscribed" (as YouTubers put it), so that they can continue hitting their exponential metrics and stave off the effect of their existing user base spending less.
Makes me even more convinced that I should go out of my way being nice to people working retail it. I do not think I ever get anything "out of it" except feeling a bit more positive in my outlook on life. Then at the local store we have the extremes where people call the cashiers by name, sharing personal stories etc. That makes me feel like I am part of a community, even if it is not a type of relationship I can nourish in the same way..
According to wikipedia, under 'Central Bank': "a central bank possesses a monopoly on increasing the monetary base. Most central banks also have supervisory and regulatory powers to ensure the stability of member institutions, to prevent bank runs, and to discourage reckless or fraudulent behavior by member banks."

Since the major collapses were by organizations which had a monopoly on creating their own currencies ("tokens") you could call them 'central banks'. Note I am not defending cryptocurrencies -- I am pointing out that you calling something 'gibberish' when people do have an understanding of the meaning is not productive.
