Fair point, but I see a difference between choosing to take a risk and companies trying to follow me around whether I want them to it not. Maybe it is my monkey brain that grew up noticeably before such tech was ubiquitous, said brain having been taught that being followed was at best a bit creepy!
If you're using the app, that might explain the difference. I'm using the mobile web interface and it's so slow that they've lost sales from me before - not because I got frustrated and stopped, but because it took 10+ minutes to put together an order and the restaurant stopped taking orders before I could get it in. This has happened multiple times.

The desktop web interface is slow enough to be irritating but not so slow it's unusable.

Finding open restaurants with Google Maps is pretty easy. They have a specific option for "is currently open", and menus are frequently linked right from the business's listing.
For a fraudulent app, I'm surprised at how well FTX as a platform worked.

I only played around with it for a while, buying/selling $250 worth of coins to try it out. I thought it was fairly well-designed, fast, etc. and on par with other tools like Schwab or Robinhood.

To hear that the entire thing was a fraud makes me think that they put a lot of engineering/design effort into making the FTX platform work. It was a fully-functioning product, not some Theranos-like facade!
Is Spotify on any of those 3rd party app stores other than Amazon's (which also has a fee)?
This is minor - but Spotify doesn't support Apple's home pod/home pod minis Siri integration...

This is especially disappointing as this (Siri integration) is one of the few areas Apple has opened up to 3rd party platforms!

Practically it's annoying, I can't `hey Siri play ...` and instead always have to start a song through my phone or computer and then airplay it over.

This has been ongoing for years now [0].

It's only Spotify that hasn't supported this. Apple Music of course, Pandora, and a host of other 3rd party apps support this but not Spotify!

Apple already implements a solution on the Mac.

The Mac defaults to signed apps. And you need to change a setting to allow unsigned apps.

iOS could easily default to what we have today, but allow the installation of non App Store apps after users change a setting and confirm after reading a scary warning pop up, that tells users they may be exposing themselves to data theft, hacking, viruses and money theft.

You think Sequoia, Ontario Teachers Pension Fund, and a ton of other legitimate investors were "participating in an obvious pump-and-dump scam"?

I get its criminal what SBF did and this is as bad as negligence gets in business but everyone is treating this like some overt Madoff like scam that was obvious to everyone in-the-know. The details of how SBF himself was engaging in the scam is not even yet set in stone, besides some real estate deals and an obvious lack of corporate controls/conflict of interest, so accusing others of also being a part of it seeems pretty brash and far too early.

Although I get the emotional outrage angle of none of the power players calling it out sooner or asking tough questions. But that's slightly different than participating in a scam.

That is a Brita Stream product.

For the pitcher equivalent they document that the indicator is simply a count of the number of pours, where they assume each one is exactly 8 oz, and that the filter lasts for exactly 40 gallons. (i.e. turns red after exactly 640 pours).

For that one, they don't actually document how it works. They do seems to indicate they that they are trying to approximate water used though, since they say it turns red "once you reach 40 gallon[s]". It might be a count of activations of the spigot handle or based on timing how long the spigot handle has been open since last reset (e.g. they previously calculated the flow per second, and use that to count up seconds that up until they reach 40 gallons).

Before iOS (and for the early years of iOS) people paid out of pocket for software updates. Now it’s an ongoing cost instead, imposed as a tax on software transactions. This is not an unusual arrangement - people rent things in perpetuity all the time, like EC2 instances and water heaters.
From my perspective its main use case is static program analysis. Dataflow analyses over approximating what values certain variables can take or where certain references can point https://yanniss.github.io/points-to-tutorial15.pdf . I assume people in different sectors of the software industry may have different use cases they find compelling.

Static analyses tend to be depend on each other (mutually recursive) so slamming all the rules together in a single system is useful. Loops in your programs lead to loops in your analysis somewhere, so the recursive nature of datalog is also useful. The monotonic accumulating and terminating nature of datalog are also desirable properties of static analyses. The logic of program analyses is subtle and complex to get right, so it's nice to have a high level declarative way to state and adjust them as time goes on. See monotone frameworks https://tudelft-cs4200-2019.github.io/lectures/statics/monot...

Mostly, I just think it's all kind of neat. Same with most other CS topics. I only work in the software industry because I find something compelling about the subject matter. That's true for most of us I assume. Well and money of course :). Some bits of CS I don't care about until I find some reason related to things I already think are neat.

Nothing like this has a single cause but yes. Consider how certain cultural norms for handling emotions, what shows your value as a man, and how you interact with other men would affect the rates for suicide or escalating violence. Grim economic prospects affect many people but if you’ve been told that you’re valuable to the extent that you’re affluent, or that macho posturing is how to respond to perceived disrespect, it’s understandable that some percentage of men will make worse choices than they might in a more supportive culture. Too many men don’t have a close friend to talk them back off the ledge because they thought showing emotions and vulnerability was a female thing or made you gay.
> Feel free to explain how you acquired knowledge of consensus belief among the people you are referring to.

Me: various arguments to the effect that the fact that conspiracy theorists may believe in Epstein Island (much like many people who aren't conspiracy theorists) doesn't give any reason to stop regarding many of them as idiots

You: "I don't deny that many conspiracy theorists are idiots"

These statements seem pretty aligned, and as I said from the very beginning, if you had the evidence of sterling original Epstein research by conspiracy theorists to actually rebut the former statement, you'd be better off presenting that than 1001 tangents.

I've no idea why you believe I need to have established consensus belief in all of Hacker News to use the word "we" about you and me, never mind need to know "all the activities of all those people" to know something as trivially simple to establish as the media took Epstein Island seriously. Come on, you're not honestly claiming that one needs omniscience to have any confidence that Epstein Island was reported on by seriously by mainstream media are you!?!?

Funnily enough, you seem happy not only making similar generalised references statements to the actions of normies and conspiracy theorists alike yourself, but insist on going one step further and insisting that you have insight into the former's "delusions of omniscience". Normies are too stuck in a simulation of reality to have any confidence in their faculties telling them media did, in fact report seriously on Epstein, but you can trust your insights into the deepest delusions of their minds. Perhaps, in your simulation of reality, this seems like a sound logical argument. To me, it sounds like you should probably read your link about cognitive biases...

Can't say I've experienced people espousing acceptance of child abusers in normie-land, but if you actually have the need to seek such people out, your victims have my sympathies...)

I think it's easy to get sidetracked and lose sight of the social aspect of social media, especially in terms of how people think about Twitter. I suspect my first iteration would be an attempt to make it easier for people in the media business to build relationships with eachother -- especially because, as you say, peoples roles in the industry are often quite in flux.

My hope wouldn't be to give people platform, so much as give media people meaningful connections. Who knows, though. I've not thought about it much. I would also leverage other unique advantages I have, in terms of other businesses, to increase the chances of those connections being built.

The history of civil rights progress is characterized by marginally deviant behavior(for the time) slowly becoming more accepted and mainstream. Take LGBT rights or marijuana for example.

I'm a heavy meat eater, and I actually kinda liked the impossible whopper.

More importantly, while I like the taste of meat too much to give up on it, I would also very much prefer that it could be had without killing animals. I don't think plant-based meat is going to be the ultimate solution to this - more likely, it'll be the lab-grown stuff. But, either way, it requires investments from the food industry to reach maturity, and those won't happen unless there's a real customer interest. Buying fake-meat burger is a way to express that interest.

And I had to reply "Yes no problem, the answer is Dicks". It was an awkward email exchange, but in my defence I had immediately remembered the answer so it served its purpose.

GIMP is great. I use it almost every day, albeit only for simple edits and markups. But I remember reading once that the lead maintainer of GIMP (not sure if still same guy) is not an artist and only actually uses the program once or twice a year to make postcards for his family. I bet his postcards are awesome, but it seems less-than-optimal that the people spearheading GIMP aren't actively using it. It's rude to say this, but that kind of explains some of the UX problems GIMP infamous for.

> I want the option to control my devices.

Why is that you'd demand this of _Apple_? Doesn't Linux and the plethora of devices it supports give you this already?

I ask as a willful customer who prefers the complete control Apple provides. I never have to think about "porn" or "bitcoin scam" or "upsells from parent's bank" or any other crap from being easily accessible on my kids' or elderly parent's devices. Even Steam has some arcane filters that eventually allow porn content to be visible in the store. Honestly, outsourcing the basic policing of content to a company like Apple is a feature; not a bug.

Besides, there's so many competing devices that give you all the freedom + control you want out there already. Right? What am I missing?

Now, I admit, this means I'm under the mercy of what _Apple_ thinks is "right" or "wrong". As an extreme example, I'd also like to disable _all_ non-vegetarian content from my kids' or parent's phones; to appeal to their "religious"/"moral" beliefs. But obviously that's a not a PoV upheld by the App Store. Similarly, I can empathize there are many other viewpoints people hold that may or may not be aligned with App Store guidelines.

But despite all that, why can't Linux devices serve the "control my devices" need.

As for the specific complaint, once you have Constructivism, Banach Tarski falls apart (even in versions with the axiom of choice). So if you don't like the weirdness, there is no need to accept it. (But you won't get advanced degrees in math unless you can at least temporarily pretend to accept it. Zorn's lemma is just too widely used.)
