It's the loss of an entire ecosystem worth of apps.

If you want an inexpensive phone that will get five or six years of first party support with security updates after that, go with an iPhone SE.

The original $399 version got six years of OS updates and just got another security update last month. That's $67 per year that got both an OS update and security update.

Not that these project become/are successful but the fact that LGBTQ people enjoy helping to make it successful. e.g. "Everyone thought this software was weird, scary and looked down upon it but we helped prove that it is a wonderful thing once you get to know it"
I've also come to a parallel realization recently, as someone who wasn't born in an English-speaking country. Not about the eternal September but about how trashy the internet is.

Whenever I go to YouTube and forget to use my VPN, I get recommended content from my country, and it's inevitably trashy and vulgar, stuff I would never engage with. Then I go to the English-speaking internet and swallow it all up like it's perfectly fine, and I've always wondered why my local social media is trashy and English-speaking social media isn't... But really there is no difference, it's all trash, trash and kids. I just couldn't recognize it because my social frame of reference for English content is the trash itself. Now that I've realized this I see it everywhere, the vulgarity, the generalized rudeness, the topics being discussed.

Anyway, yeah it comes of as elitist I suppose. Although I'm not sure it's a matter of class, because whenever I meet someone from the English axis they are most often perfectly lovely people regardless of their background, I think it's just a system optimizing for the lowest common denominator.

So, like today?
When I worked construction and a job was ending, you'd find out Friday if they needed you back.

They'd put your name on a list Monday and other jobs could pick you up if no one did, you'd have someone from HR come by and walk you through cobra insurance and hand you the forms for your unemployment, and then you had 30 minutes to pack your shit and go.

Weeks on end of wondering every Friday if you had a job next week. This was during 2008/10 and all our jobs that we had won got sent for rebid and the company declined to bid on them again. Lost all the work we had lined up and no one was hiring.

I was a real grind, guys expecting kids and hoping to get the baby delivered before the lost their health insurance.
I built and launched a fairly simple project at Google- a web site for the upcoming North American solar eclipse. At some point I had to do a legal review to launch the website and come up with a "GDPR narrative" for EU users. But our users were almost 100% american and the entire project was centered around an event occurring in the US. SO I am very open to the idea that Google needs to relax its process around its lower-impact projects.

Rising seas threaten ‘mass exodus on a Biblical scale’, UN chief warns
The problem I have is that other retailers tend to be more awkward about returns, whereas Amazon have never questioned them, even when the manufacturer has refused a repair[1]. It feels more like a case of pick your poison, rather than having an overall better alternative.

[1] A fairly expensive pair of headphones failed 18 months into a two year warranty, but the manufacturer put it down to (IIRC) wear and tear. I contacted Amazon, and they agreed to swap them for a new pair.

I'm not really aware of the risk/reward levels of different vaccines for different age groups, but to imply that we used to care about what got put into vaccines but no longer do seems quite silly - the "vaccines cause autism" idea got going in the early 90's. But low as the risks of either may be, I wonder - did more children die of covid or of covid vaccination?
Sounds like a good bedtime story for a slave owner to tell his slave.
It's odd to think what impact this would have on those taking it, as autism is part of their personality. For some, it could end up being a net negative for them.
Very well written and insightful. Thank you for sharing.
What do you have in mind specifically? I can think of some mild issues that are similar for any behaviour-affecting drugs, but it sounds like there's more?
At least the sociopaths are having a field day. See the bright side: If many of them flock to Amazon then that leaves fewer for the rest of us.

Also, Amazon spokes"people" are comically soulless. I can imagine well that they truly represent that Amazon culture. Would love to chat with one some day, if only to see whether there's still something behind the facade or whether the transformation is already complete.

To be honest, every employee should treat their employers with the same level of distrust.

It's important to have mutual mistrust as baseline for a healthy professional relationship.

Introduce new laws (into operation) or introduce new bills (into the agenda)? I thought it could introduce new laws that were directly applicable so long as they were related to certain matters. But the bills for the laws have to be introduced by the commission. The whole thing is sufficiently confusing that I could be wrong.

Anyway, I'm not entirely sure that it is a standard EU compromise. The governments wrote the rules in the context of what must surely be constant disagreements between the parliaments and the governments (at least if the politics of my own non-EU country is anything to go by). I can't believe they didn't know what they were doing - taking power from their own colleagues in parliaments.

You are absolutely correct and I wish more people understood this: poverty is a feature of the system. People who tell poor people to just "get a job" don't understand how this system works. Also, there's no point in trying to figure out how to "fix" the system, i.e. eliminate poverty, because we've found no alternative that works save for one: social safety nets to ensure the poor are at least housed, clothed, and fed.

I never quite understood this. For things that are new and novel it makes sense for price to decrease over time, like TV tech (do note that OLEDs today aren't any cheaper so the category is not TVs it’s LCD TVs). But games/toys it does not. It implies quality is lower or efficiency of production is higher and with something like video games I really doubt efficiency is higher. This is why I welcome the $10 price hike for video games. I want good games again.

Hi HN, I’m Ben, one of the founders of Equals.

My co-founder and I started Equals to build the data tool we always wished we had as part of the early Intercom team. We found no matter which new BI tool we adopted, we’d ultimately end up back in a spreadsheet. Yet, we’d then come back to the BI tool for easy access to live data.

So - Equals is a spreadsheet with live data. Equals has native connections to databases, data warehouses, and other data sources. You can write SQL directly in the spreadsheet to pull in data from your database, or you can write Python/Javascript to pull data from any API. We launched the core Equals product about a year ago.

Today we’re launching Dashboards. With Dashboards you can hook in multiple data sources at once and build charts and tables that auto-expand. As your data updates, so does your spreadsheet and dashboard. We believe this is the simplest and most flexible tool for founders to stay on top of their business.

We’re still super early and so would love to hear your feedback on the product.

Ben

Something like this that I know of, in a very simplified form.

> So you want to get some thoughts out on the internet in a convenient and slick way while also following the gibberish of others? Instead of signing up at a closed and/or regulated microblogging platform, getting your status updates out with twtxt is as easy as putting them in a publicly accessible text file. The URL pointing to this file is your identity, your account. twtxt then tracks these text files, like a feedreader, and builds your unique timeline out of them, depending on which files you track. The format is simple, human readable, and integrates well with UNIX command line utilities.

I have used this format a little bit when I first found out about it. But haven’t felt like adding any more entries to my twtxt file beyond the ones that I added to it in the first couple of days of having set it up.
