It might become the norm, but probably only via EU legislation. The EU is proposing 3 years of updates and 5 years of security updates. We'll see if it happens.

Without legislation, it probably won't become the norm. With Apple, they know they will capture the value of future device purchases since if you want an iOS device, they're the only seller. Margins can be better since they're the only seller which leaves more money to support the product long term. Long-term support positions them as a premium product.

One of the big issues is that Google can't patch an issue and then push it out to everyone. They need buy-in from phone manufacturers and even carriers who have customized Android. Apple doesn't need any coordination. They can update iOS when they want to and they control all the hardware it's running on.

Yes, you'd think that competition might lead people to become loyal to one Android manufacturer if they provided longer-term support, but I think the ecosystem encourages shopping around for the best deal/promo rather than brand loyalty and money spent on long-term support makes products more expensive.

I think part of it is even a different market segment between iOS and Android. I think a lot of iOS users are people that want something that just works that they don't have to worry about and are willing to pay for a premium product that does that. I think Android users are split between power users who want to upgrade frequently (negating the utility of long-term support) and low-end users who don't care or need to prioritize purchase price over updates/security. Again, needing 2-3 parties involved for updates makes them more expensive, more difficult, and less likely to happen.

Part of it is simply the Apple experience. Apple Stores aren't cheap. Apple could use cheap materials and try to build stores that look and feel like most retail. That's not their game. They're looking to sell a premium experience and part of that includes long-term support. Of course, that comes with a price. It's easy to find $100 Android phones, but not $100 iPhones.

It's hard for artist to make money by selling their music. They make way more by touring. I bet he'll continue to tour and he probably keeps the right to continue to sing his songs without having to pay a fee. It make sense to sell them. The company that buys them has an incentive to make sure they will continue to be streamed which only increases the demand for his concerts.

He sold the rights to his songs so that's it; he gets no more money from them. 200 million is a good chunk of cash. He's set for the rest of his life even when you factor in taxes. Good for him.

Berberine is so much more expensive than metformin.
Yeah, this is bullshit. Shareholders aren't compelling this to happen. At most theyre cheering it on.

This has more of a flavor of Google's 2011 "caught fixing wages and forced to pay a $300 million fine" scandal.

Of course some believe that the idea that they might have done something that they have already been found guilty of in the past to be nothing more than a implausible harebrained conspiracy theory.
> I don't assume that data encrypted in shared hosting is safe, because hypervisors can be used to pull keys from memory.

Well, surely not, but that’s not what I was talking about; I said E2E-encrypted. The remote (the cloud, or your NAS) shouldn’t be doing any encryption or decryption. It should be a dumb store for your client-side-encrypted data.
Indeed, I had to laugh.

Right AT&T has that crazy device allowlist, they say they require VOLTE support however if the device is an international or foreign model they will disable your line immediately.

Verizon doesn’t do that luckily, I believe they suspended new line activate with 5S however for existing lines they are not disable your line like AT&T yet.

I'm not sure on how Bing ads work, but I think Google makes more because they are better at targeting and with limited space and high demand you get higher pricing.

Facebook and Google are really the only two ad platforms that I know off that you can really target ads to the people you want and you can build ads around those you are targeting instead of making generic ads like you see on other platform and TV.

Good to know! Back in the days my friend and I figured out that if we bought Xbox Live Arcade games on someone's console with the other person's account, both would effectively own the full game and could play it (albeit not at the same time). We used this scheme to share account passwords and get more Gamerscore out of some titles. My then 14-year old self was quite disappointed to find out he lost all shared games when his console was replaced after a RRoD. I guess these games weren't transferable.
How Big Tech Deluded Itself and Got into This Mess
The reason behind is that the product manufacturers and distributors want consumers to know how much they are paying in taxes. If consumers don't know, then politicians will be free to hike up taxes as much as they want.

Adding government-mandated charges separately is not a big problem, in my opinion. The big problem is when businesses hide a portion of their actual price under "fees". And the fees are not disclosed upfront. As an example of various fees see the AT&T example [1].

I suspect the policy is to slowly force everyone to 5G (and every successive generation) ASAP because they make more money per line due to lower cost to serve each device (more connections served per base station translates to needing less infrastructure and a better COGS ratio).

"In the 118th Congress, H.R. 25 would implement a NST. This proposal would replace the current federal income, payroll, and estate and gift tax system with a 23% tax-inclusive sales tax rate in 2025 (30% tax-exclusive rate), with adjustments to the rate moving forward."
Worth noting that many of the people let go were not your 300K/year engineers.
I'll say something I wish someone told me in my 20's: most leadership/upper management is poor. I've worked at FAANGs, a unicorn, and currently @ a company that recently IPO'd. Most people in product leadership neither really understand how to make original ideas that effect the product at a high level or the technical details of the product, their responsibility is to be good stewards of a certain revenue stream and not mess it up and maybe grow it by x%. Most engineering leadership above the staff level is usually better at "aligning" with upper management and that's why they're kept around.

The main exception to this are some startups with strong/technical founders (however I've recently had conversations with recent yc & techstars founders where this isn't to be assumed) and biotech startups where a PhD/MD is needed to develop the initial idea.

So you are not assigned work by anybody? You do not rely on any other person to provide an input to the work you are doing? You do not deliver the work that you complete to anybody? And it is not subsequently used by anybody else for any purpose? Because if you do any of those things, then congratulations, you have to cooperate with other people to do your work.
I too go to dinner and expect to pay with the pearl I find in my oyster. FAANG are relatively merit based jobs that pays exceptionally above band and a lot of people try to get into them. The jobs are scarce, sure there is more talent, but you basically are getting insurance on candidate quality.. Saying I'd rather hire someone who comes from something much more statistically unlikely and even harder to do due diligence.

I think it depends on the exact wording. I get the impression from the document they don't consider their wording final yet, so we can only rely on their intent. I'm not sure their intent is bad in the sense that you're concerned about, based on what they've stated. But we'll have to see.
I know people would probably call bullshit on this, and I probably wouldn't believe it myself if I hadn't experienced it myself. My symptoms of lactose intolerance were basically that I'd get stomach cramps, and later diarrhea, within about 2 hours of consuming milk products, even after just eating small amounts of them (such as milk-chocolate). I was, to that time, using lactase-supplements whenever I consumed something containing lactose.

What I did for a while was intermittent fasting (restricting caloric intake to a 6-8 hour window each day.) I did this unrelated to my lactose intolerace, because I hadn't considered that it might be 'curable'. After doing this for a month or so, I somehow forgot taking my lactase supplement for a while (I didn't even notice until some time later.), and curiously I did not get those lactose-intolerance symptoms anymore.

I'm not an expert on these things by any matter, but from my amateur-readings of the literature there are two forms of lactose intolerance: the first, and most common, is a genetic one where your stomach just doesn't produce enough (or any) lactase anymore, starting at a certain age. The second one is more controversial, but might be related to bacteria living in the gut, which populate on the stomach lining and prevent the gut from releasing lactase; and it - to me - seems like my calorie restricted diet has starved those bacteria out.

So I can't say for certain if the month of intermittent fasting resolved the issue of lactose intolerance for me (since n=1), but it sure seems so because I hadn't made any other major changes to my diet then (except perhaps that I reduced carbs, in particular refined sugars.)

When you say OM (Aum) out loud properly you do controlled breathing.

Here is the way I was taught.

1. relax.

2. deep inhale.

3. pause (1 count)

4. say 'O' (2 or 3 counts, you can stretch it further if you can). Here you are basically exhaling through mouth.

5. slowly transition from 'O' to 'M'. for a brief period in the transition try to say 'O' nasally. might need a bit of practice but basically you are slowly transitioning from exhaling via mouth to exhaling via nose.

6. as you completely switch to 'M' your mouth is shut and you are totally exhaling via nose. Stretch 'M' as long as you can.

7. repeat this cycle. Once you find the rhythm its quite mentally relaxing.

Huge swathes of people in the US struggle to afford food, and an extra 10+% floating around makes a big difference. It's nice that you can afford to spend your time more productively, but that's a luxury a lot of people can't.

As something of a side note, it's a bit of an odd position to take that taxe hikes are important enough to make it illegal to even mildly obscure them but that they're minor enough they would never affect your purchasing decisions on all but the most major of items.

No, they can't be connected to AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile in the US. Both of them have shut down their 3G networks so phones that don't support VoLTE won't work (and it seems like carriers don't want to take on the liability of letting someone have a data-only "phone" on their network that can't make calls in case of emergency).

In this case, it's not quite BS from AT&T. They wanted to use the spectrum they had been using for 3G to make their LTE network better and certain old LTE devices couldn't do voice-over-LTE (the 3G network would handle voice communication). One could argue that they could have kept the 3G network alive longer (Verizon and T-Mobile shut 3G down in 2022), but at some point old devices stop being able to talk on modern networks. At some point, there's a balance between keeping old networks alive and being able to reuse that spectrum for more efficient networks that serve the vast majority of your customers.

Many countries still have working 3G networks that the iPhone 5S can connect to and they can still be used as WiFi devices in the US (oh, and I'm sure there are some regional carriers in the US that still support 3G).
Yea, this was one of my disappointments about raid as well.

ZFS, on the other hand, stores the hash of every block separately from the block itself, and then uses those hashes to check every read. So it only reads the block from a single disk, but it hashes the read block and compares it against the expected hash. If there is an error of any kind the hashes won’t match and ZFS will increment the error counter for the drive and pool. It then examines the other mirrors to find the correct data. Once it has the correct data it overwrites the incorrect block.

They know how much to charge you at the till, therefore they know what price to put on the label. It is that simple.

For webstores, require customer to disclose location so the right price can be computed; they have to do that when it comes to the billing page so it isn't novel work.

Everything else is bullshit reasoning to get away with false pricing/false advertising.

Yet the tone of the later paragraphs in that section is axiomatically assuming they should be able to prosecute the makers of the encrypted devices, or anyone possessing such a phone, in addition to the 2,864 criminals they already caught using them.

And from an environment point of view, it is a device that needs high energy to produce.

I actually compost. It cost say $33 one off for the bin, which sits on soil, and can take probably couple years worth of waste. I am not in an appartment, but surely the solution there is a compost on common outdoor or rooftop area, where the cost is lower because it can be shared.
