You’ve got a pretty valid point about “why not exercise instead of meds” - the answer to which I do not know, though my guess is meds are more “reliable” of a solution. The side effects, yes, they’re not great but (with the caveat of having a proper doctor) should be very little/manageable. Disclaimer, I am on (prescribed) methylphenidate for my ADHD, and the side effects can be annoying but I’m generally better off with the medical + side effects than otherwise. Exercise does help pretty well for me too, though unfortunately now in 2 degree C weather it’s not convenient.
The estimate is that we’ve peaked. Africa is not having as many children as expected. Asia is slowing down. The West would be collapsing if not for immigration. There is a really good chance of social collapse within the next 10-25 years for various large countries due to population inversion (too few young people relative to old people like China). Not enough tax base to pay for those who are now economically unproductive.
Cocoa (NextStep) strings use utf-16 as well, right?
Smartphones took over as people's primary "computers" of choice. And mobile devices, generally, don't even get an IPv4 address with ports as most are behind carrier NAT. So most people cannot participate on the internet anymore and require third parties to hold their metaphorical hand when doing network operations.

For people still using actual computers with real internet connections and ports p2p is still as big, and as useful, as ever. It's just that the relative percentage of online users with actual internet connections has shrunk. The absolute number of people with real computers and connections has not shrunk.

An old example of well known companies behaving badly...

https://www.theverge.com/2017/4/23/15399438/apple-uber-app-s...

> The practice, called fingerprinting, is prohibited by Apple. To prevent the company from discovering the practice, Uber geofenced Apple headquarters in Cupertino, changing its code so that it would be hidden from Apple Employees. Despite their efforts, Apple discovered the activity, which led to the meeting between the two CEOs, in which Cook told Kalanick to end the practice. If Uber didn’t comply, Cook told him, Uber’s app would be removed from the App Store, a move that would be a huge blow to the ride-sharing company. According to the article, “Mr. Kalanick was shaken by Mr. Cook’s scolding, according to a person who saw him after the meeting,” and ended the practice.
It became... boring technology.

I don't understand why the disgruntled companies don't simply band together and remove their apps from Apple until Apple complies? Apple is as reliant on their third party apps for their ecosystems as much as the inverse.

A limit on identical URLs for a certain period would be nice. Same URL can't be posted for a few hours after the first post. Repeats are fine here, so long as they aren't within a small timespan.

It could also mitigate this if when submitting the user would receive back a list of other submits with the same URL and asked to confirm that they still want to submit.

He's still got a point. there is no scenario where apple needs the money they get from app store, so there has to be another explanation. I mean, no one will convince me that a company with 366 billion in revenue is dependent on 12 billion in revenue from app store.

There is something we're not being told here. Because the reasons all these commenters are throwing out make zero sense.
It has been claimed elsewhere that coinbase charges transaction fees for these, i don’t know if that is true or not but if it is it does not seem to be an inconsistent application of the rules. It would be the same as buying a kindle edition from an independent publisher through amazon’s iOS app, amazon takes a cut so they have to pay up. I am not defending the policy just not clear to me this is an inconsistent application.

Agree 100%. I don't eat foods with added processed sugars. I treat sugar like a spice, just throw a pinch in with a few recipes. Sugar is in just about everything in the supermarkets, and is screwing up the entire population.
Sure, but what I think I'm ultimately trying to say is: that problem probably isn't getting solved anytime soon, given what we've turned the world into with technology.

We can control sugar in the food supply, though. It would do quite a bit if we'd just stop shoving it where it doesn't belong.
You don't think that's a simplistic analysis? For that to be true all external factors would have to remain constant and they obviously haven't.

I would argue that the type system does make it somewhat more difficult for bad programmers to do egregiously bad things in the language. A carefully written library can be quite difficult to misuse (at least, without panics or using unsafe code in the user code, both of which are easy to catch in code review).

Rust has no null/nil pointers. Instead, it has nullable types (Option<T>), which are harder to misuse. If you want to "dereference" a Option, you either use unwrap() (which panics) or you handle the None case properly. While `.unwrap().foo()` is still just as crashy as an unguarded `x->foo()` in other languages, a code review can catch misuse of .unwrap() much more readily than a missing null/nil check.

As another example, the Send/Sync traits provide strong guarantees about thread safety; using these traits properly lets you make data structures that cannot be misused in a multithreaded program. Although deadlock is still possible (hello, halting problem), many types of data races are simply eliminated.
> We did a big improvement, but why can’t we disable “unsafe”?

Because there are things which literally can not be safe, and rust will not let you get away with pretending.

The think that I find the most LSD-like, both in the visuals it generate and in principle is Google DeepDream.

It works by using an image classifier in reverse. So for example, you have a neural network that identifies bicycles, feed it an image, get the results, and feed them back to the image, boosting the bicycle-like characteristics of the image, repeat the process a number of times. In the end, you get something that looks like the original image, but made of bicycle parts. It is commonly done with faces, it can also be done on intermediate layers, amplifying more abstract details like geometric shapes.

Originally intended as a way to reveal the inner workings of a neural network (for research, debugging, etc...), it has also been used by artists for really trippy visuals.
Not that it matters to the point that I was making but I wouldn't consider SBF a reliable source of the truth.

What difference do you think a "higher quality review" would make? Apple is enforcing their strict policy that all purchases from within apps (with some documented exceptions) must use Apple's IAP and cough up the 30%.

This has nothing to do with Apple's kafkaesque review process and everything to do with their policies, which have been increasingly strictly enforced for the last couple of years.

It also doesn’t matter because there’s no alternative.

> The only way google is "done" is if someone can figure out a way to put the ads in front of more receptive eyes/wallets AND do it on Google's scale without first being acquired or killed off.

No, alternatively they just need to steal googles traffic, they don’t need to steal the ad spend. If you take the traffic, you’ll take their revenue, and they’ll die. If you steal 50% of traffic, you’ll steal 50% of their ad impression revenue. Advertisers will go elsewhere.. like meta or apple.

In fact, most companies are disrupted by orthogonal businesses not by being directly outdone by a startup. No one is going to make a better general purpose search engine anytime soon, but Amazon is successfully stealing product search and discovery queries from Google.

Google is first and foremost a collection of products. A product needs to make money from users. If you take their users, you take their source of income. Everyone likes to make sassy claims about “you’re the product” due to ads. You are still consuming a service designed to provide you value, even if you didn’t pay for it directly. There is no reason web search needs to gather data about you and show ads, it’s just an easy way to pay for the service. Google could offer a subscription to a “pro” search engine if it wanted, and fund the company that way (probably less profitably though).

(And fwiw there’s no reason a language model based service couldn’t capture exactly the same data, it’d just be harder to get people to click on ads).

The soy study is far from conclusive - it showed an inverse association between soy intake and sperm concentration, but mainly in "overweight and obese men," and "total sperm count, ejaculate volume, sperm motility, [and] sperm morphology" remained the same.

Either way, soy vs. meat is not the dichotomy it's sometimes presented as in political narratives. You can eliminate both and still have a huge number of healthy world foods to choose from. The Mediterranean I had recently was delicious and soy and meat free.

Because they very explicitly want to allow multiple discussions of the same item, spread over time?

Normally, submitting an exact duplicate during a certain window (I don't know how long that window is) automatically translates submissions after the first, into upvotes for the first.[0] After that window, dupes are considered OK because $REASONS, where I presume the reasons include something like "some stories are some timeless and interesting that they deserve to be discussed multiple times", or a variation of the thinking behind XKCD #1053[1], and so on.

See, for example:

[0]: Or at least that used to be the case. And I've seen it first hand, so can definitely confirm that this sometimes happens. Or used to. But I tried one just now with something that's on the "newest" page and even though I submitted it with the exact same URL, the submission went through as a separate one. Not sure if something's broken, or if that is intentional behavior, perhaps there's more complexity to the rule about when the de-dupe behavior is displayed than I was aware of. Not sure. Weird.

Addendum: tried a bunch more just now to see if maybe there's a pattern where some URL's trigger the de-dupe stuff and others don't, but everything I tried went through. My guess is that either the mods changed this intentionally for reasons that only they are privy to, or the de-duper is broken. But that's just a guess.

I would argue the opposite.

Their software has historically been terrible.

OG iTunes ranks at the top of the worst pieces of software I've ever used - rendered the iPod almost useless for me.

Their software is still unimpressive, but I'd argue it's trending in the right direction.

The App Store is functional. Safari is not terrible. Their email client is fine. The Apple TV UI is pretty snazzy, etc.

How would you implement a python list in python? I mean, what would you consider "acceptable" primitives to do so?
The first example is oddly specific. I think you can find flaws like that with almost any software or hardware manufacturer, regardless of monopoly status.

The second example is, I think, a perfect example of what most large companies do, which is to neglect specific features in favor of others. People want to work on the "new hotness" rather than maintain something written 10 years ago by a team that no longer exists.

I don't think either suggests that Apple software is getting worse as a whole. The simple fact that they rolled out an entirely new architecture and it's worked pretty flawlessly (except for some fraction of people when the battery drains to 0 and it hibernates and needs a restart) suggests to me that they aren't just resting and pulling in money based on their monopoly status (which they don't even have in any industry).
Really was just a way to somehow become the news to give preference to their investments.
The thing is that it wasn't a comprehensive answer. It was a wall of text that attempted to appear like it was giving an answer while not actually clarifying anything.

> Rust didn't protect me from that, and those are the kind of vulnerabilities that we'll continue seeing regardless of language.

It didn't on its own, but it is worth noting that with type-safe languages, you can protect yourself from this by encoding that invariant into the type system.

Using Rust as an example, take a &std::path::Path (or &camino::Utf8Path or whatever) in your public API; have custom InternalPathBuf and InternalPath types that perform validation to ensure they aren't using relative paths to "break out" during construction, and then pass those around in your internal API. Bingo bango, now there's no way (short of transmuting, an `unsafe` operation) to pass invalid paths to the functions that hit the filesystem without a compile error. No redundant runtime checks required, and no need for you as the developer to keep track of which codepaths have already validated a Path and which haven't.

I'm sure you already know this, and I would imagine that Java can do the same, but it's a big step above languages like Python where you can do whatever you want to anything you want.

EDIT: lol while I was typing this you made a post about the same thing below.
Yes, of course, I agree. Again, I'd rather a bunch of the stuff Apple prohibits were simply illegal (plus a few things they don't) and that several huge companies, including Apple, were broken up into a dozen or more parts. But in the meantime I'm glad to have one platform where some of those practices are effectively illegal, at least. The second government steps up I'll be thrilled to see them smashed to bits (and hopefully not only them—and hey, those others don't have to wait as far as I'm concerned!).
