That's exactly what I think. I personally also find him very uninspiring, it looks like he's basically just 'maintaining' the company on auto-pilot mode. No out of the world new ideas, and now the company is losing on the very field they were seemingly far-far ahead than the rest of the world.
After reading the article, I would agree
This sounds similar to Walmart saying they'll stop taking Visa. Samsung would be dumb not to at least threaten moving away from Google, even if they had no intention to change. It's a negotiating tactic, one that has more teeth in recent months because Google's competitors are finally showing a real challenge.
> Apple is venturing into advertising and that'll tempt them to weaken privacy protections sooner or later.

I hope they never become this short-sighted. I buy Apple primarily because I believe that they protect my privacy—or at least that they do a better job of it than everyone else.
Yeah - I'm glad I wasn't the only one who found the sentiment behind this article, and the technical article itself, so very much at odds.

- links aren’t dead: they’re vitally important. Links lend authority. [...] Don’t link to stuff you don’t trust, SEO or otherwise.

- Linkoln normalizes the post, replacing each wikilink with the best corresponding hyperlink it could find on the web, using Google
Problems can be solved by introducing an abstraction that provides tools for working in a certain domain, and then using those tools to solve problems in that domain. This can be really effective when the requirements are complex and shifting because it allows for flexibility and working more directly in the problem domain.

You can invent a language to do this.

But quite often existing languages are perfectly capable of expressing the abstraction. Meanwhile, there can be a huge overhead to a programming language… you tend to need syntax, documentation, parsers, a standard library, third party libraries, debuggers, programmers, etc.

Usually it just makes a ton more sense to express your domain concepts withing an existing language than make a domain-specific one.

There are no terms on which companies big enough to already be bad actors and not get banned[0] won't at least push users to their own app stores where they can easily sidestep any of Apple's privacy rules.

I always thought that Google made a big blunder by not encroaching upon Microsoft's turf more aggressively. They should have tried to make a better desktop OS (just buy Canonical or something) and then eat into Microsoft Office market share by releasing Google Office for Desktop. Wait for an opportunity to emerge and then pounce.

This is precisely what Microsoft did to Google. They had Bing running in the background for years losing truckloads of money. Now that AI has upset the applecart, they can use Bing to choke off Google's airsupply.

One of the reasons for Google getting so good early on was that they had oodles of usage data to test and improve their search functionality forming a positive feedback loop. Now, with deals such as this, Microsoft will have more data to tune their engine while Google is left on the sidelines.

Let's just hope that the AI driven search revolution does not produce a monopoly.
There are some taxes that are actually designed to work that way - the most common instance being "sin" taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis as a way to reduce demand on those items by making them much more expensive.
Perhaps that will change in response to this.
The last thing anyone should ever want from a search engine is different results from the next person over.
> Spain relies on imports from Norway and Sweden

With domestic I mean a domestic animal, one breed in captivity, not one from Spain. I should probably used "domesticated" instead.
It never really left. It got removed from the app store briefly but they reversed that decesion pretty quickly afterwards. I've also never had any issues with it on iOS so I'm curious why OP thinks it's a broken mess.
HUHHHHHH
Careful!

We benchmarked both. There are some edge cases where postgres is faster, but MySQL used significantly less disk space in those scenarios. Postgres has some esoteric functions not available in MySql, but enh. You probably shouldn’t use those in your app to avoid sharp edges that could be deprecated in the future. Stick to the SQL standard.

All other things being equal they actually perform about the same for our use case.

Then let’s talk replication… MySql GTID/Binlog replication is stupid easy to setup. And _it just works _ and recovers really easy. You can make hundreds of near-real time replicas.

Finally the tooling. I find MySql’s tooling far easier to use than Postgres. Nearly everything is SQL. You have to memorize configuration in both cases so take this last point is an opinion.

Both are a good choice. I think would save if you need absolute single-server performance, probably Postgres is the better option, but understand you're only getting marginal gains. If you want to make hundreds of read-only replicas or use their semi-sync HA plugin, MySQL is probably way to go, but understand that multi-master writes is still not really a thing.
Indeed. Though for Android OEMs, "paying" for Google's app suite is considered part of the equation. It's less of an incentive for Samsung though since they have their own replacements for most Google apps ready to go.
Neither does GPT
I agree, and the idea of a sideload-able iOS makes me very uneasy. I like the idea of Apple aligning itself with the user to protect me and, more importantly, my tech-unsavvy friends and family, from scams, data-hoarding apps, and just generally crappy software. I don't mind that they take a portion of revenue in return for providing that platform (30% feels too much, but you can't argue that it should be zero).

Unfortunately, in practice, Apple have proven to be entirely incompetent at achieving that protection. The App Store is 90%+ garbage and scams. It's completely unusable for any form of discovery. Even when you know exactly what app you're looking for, you have to wade through copycats, typo squatters, and even paid adverts trying to distract you from your search.

Sideloading is full of risks, and I don't love it. But it's at least a little bit of competition to push Apple towards make the App Store useful again.

I've seen how adults vote and honestly I don't think there's a measurable improvement as people age.

Additionally, it's unfair to say "X shouldn't vote because I don't like how they'd vote" — my argument that if you're employed there are a lot of laws involved in how/what/when you're employed. If we trust someone to work a somewhat dangerous or strenuous job, then we should trust them to vote.

It's hypocritical to say that a minor can operate heavy machinery or handle dangerous materials, but they're not mature enough to vote for elected representatives.
Anecdotally, their actual search results have sucked for me. For example, I searched for “narrowest cars with 6 or more seats”, and Bing’s results were terrible and irrelevant. The AI version gave me some acceptable results but very few. Google returned pages of relevant results from different years.
definitely more evil, since the decision was made so they could hide from even the "meat bags" the sort of treatment they're giving to people

So bad that even "meat bags" would be sympathetic, so gotta replace them with algorithms

my government at least lets me speak to a "meat bag" who has helped me through the bureaucracy, Uber's goal is to eliminate all help, including even that
Sure, sure, but would it have killed them to drop in a few five dollar "don't hit this object" ultrasonic proximity sensors?
We didn't teach our kids to read. We just read to them. A lot. Every day.

By the time they were in kindergarten they could read on their own. By the time they started learning to read in school they could bring their own books to read during lessons so they wouldn't get bored.

Kids at that age learn by emulating what they see. If they do not see their parents reading, learning to read in school is going to be hard. No silver bullet technique will reach all the kids, especially ones from homes where reading is bitterly condemned.
> Samsung switching to Bing would eliminate Google's incentive to develop Android

They still have quite some apps on Android that they can use to extract data from users and send ads, e.g. youtube, gmail, maps, etc.
Per the parent comment, the terms they would have to add to be competitive in this scenario would be "Developers can blatantly and horrendously mine all sensitive data from users." which, while they would be appreciated by many businesses that want to provide apps to iOS users, may not be as desirable to the users themselves.

Essentially, what I believe that parent comment is calling out is that Apple is currently (voluntarily) acting as a user advocate by discouraging exploitative behavior, and enforcing that position using their monopsony.

When the monopsony breaks down, Apple will lose the power to enforce this rule, and exploitative practices will become the new norm. Of course, this does take a somewhat paternalistic view of users, in that it assumes that people will continue to use TikTok, Instagram, and so on despite their privacy being grossly violated. I think that this assumption does have a strong precedence, however.
This article seems a little hyperbolic since I assume the default search engine will simply be the highest bidder...
My computer literate but non-technical wife just noticed yesterday that google searches are a waste of time compared to ChatGPT. Over the course of about six hours it went from this thing is amazing to this stupid thing knows I'm on a Mac but still refers to F11 keys.

She even got ChatGPT to re-enforce she was on Mac and didn't have an F11 key but never got a substitute key to use for Mac users. (F11 is volume down on my Mac keyboard.)
Most important difference is probably clustering. We had to do a lot of PK changes when our mysql database received more rows.

Our access patterns are mostly analytical. A lot of scanning and aggregating has to be done. Nobody cared about clustering before so we had to change a lot of table schemas to make our IO efficient.

I only heard from colleagues that such issues are easier to handle in postgres because it is more flexible. But for mysql, you have to understand that primary key and clustering key are always the same thing.

(of course this depends on the storage engine, but it's the behavior of the standard engine innodb)
iOS 16.4 added a bunch of PWA-focused features. What gaps do you feel still exist?
There's too many factors for drawing lines. In wealthy countries laws ensuring a higher age for employment makes more sense. In really impoverished countries where there isn't enough money for a family to feed themselves I don't really think a nine year old would prefer to starve rather than work.

I worked jobs around the neighborhood at 12 but that's obviously a lot easier than 10 hour shifts in a field (as the article suggests). I don't know what's right and I'm thankful I don't have to make the decisions.

True, but I think having this check in the kernel may work better than valgrind on Linux.

With that said, valgrind works great and I like its output, time will tell if I will like the output from this OpenBSD change.
Assuming your company is established enough, consider working towards a COO ("integrator") to partner with you in running the business.

More here: https://www.eosworldwide.com/blog/visionaries-and-integrator...

Am going through EOS for my business and look forward getting a bit more out of day to day.

CEO: Work on the business, in the market.
COO: Work on the organisation, in the business.

Being a founder/CEO is not that special btw. I think you'd go further in life and business if you don't buy into the idea that your job and skill set is unique and special. (A lot of professions have this subculture, not just founders.)
Android's early commercialization actively encouraged OEMs to "customize" Android for at least two reasons: Android product maturity was questionable, and what else are phone OEM product managers going to do?

Now that "Google experience" is generally cleaner and better than OEMs' customizations, Google is struggling to put the toothpaste back in the tube. It is very damaging to Android as a product because OEMs are slow to issue updates and won't continue updates beyond three years, in most cases.

I doubt Google will strong-arm Samsung over this. They need Samsung more than Samsung needs the Play Store and other "Google experience" apps.
Seems his main goal was avoiding getting anything on the record.

No I am not saying I want to continue using Facebook, but as more technical people we have to understand the impact that this has on non technical people.

Short term we may just see apps like Facebook, TikTok, and others that wish to engage in shady practices put out a side loaded app. Fine no harm done I can just choose to not use those.

But as they get more users they could push their own app stores that make it even easier for other smaller apps to ditch the App Store entirely.

My concern is not what happens right away for me. (But we should all be concerned about companies like Facebook being able to harvest more data and be more shady for others). But as time goes on and if I need a certain app that I no longer have the choice of using an App Store with basic protections in place because its too easy for a developer to use the alternate store.

We all know that app developers love to use really shady practices, this is just going to make it worse.
Basically, some kiwi (Marie Clay) looked into how good kids learn to read, but somehow identified all the things bad learners do. Turned this into an approach to help kids, had some apparent success in New Zealand. Basically it got kids to guess what words were based on the context of the statement, the initial letter, pictures accompanying the statement etc, rather than sounding out the word. It got imported to the states as the word of god, while at the same time science identified how kids actually learn. George Bush introduced No Child Left Behind which required science based teaching of literacy. Those who were profiting off Marie Clay's work pushed back because they wouldn't be funded, resulting in the current mess we have today.
This is horrifying. If I understood this correctly, they are being taught effectively *next token prediction* instead of reading.

The only children that will learn to read will probably be in spite of this system.
But that would be anti-competitive, right?
Meanwhile us white collar workers are worried that 90% of our jobs will be taken by AI. What a strange world we live in.
I really don’t see that happening. Perhaps an environmentalist group could think of doing that if they decide to take issue with these launches—that would definitely be in character.

But with email, there are mailto: links, and email clients (locally-installed apps or webmail) can register themselves to handle such links.

That should be pretty obvious. ChatGPT is Microsoft's new golden child. Any potential interface for it will be getting plenty of attention and SwiftKey will suddenly be included in tons of management spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations.

The Bing->Chat buttons just open the Bing app currently. I'm curious if they will directly integrate it.
This is hardly surprising. I never normally use Google, but was asked to check some SEO using Google search the other day. The results were a dumpster fire of sponsored content, “other people also search for” and stuff that was largely irrelevant. I had to go onto the second and third pages to find anything even remotely close to what I wanted.

Popcorn is "an iconic part of the experience" because the theaters have been pushing it for nearly a century.

The theaters don't make their money showing new movies (most of that goes to the studio) - they make most of their money on high margin concessions, mostly popcorn and soda.
I’m surprised that someone downvoted this, I thought this would be very uncontroversial. Is there someone who actually likes this for some reason?
Shame not DuckDuckGo.
I'd use Bing's chat feature if it wasn't only available on Edge... I can't seem to get any Chromium browsers working well on my Fedora install. I already want to use Microsoft's search engine, why do they need me to use their browser too?
I wish you would abstain from some of the rhetoric and let your good points shine through
This is basically Samsung asking Google to pay up. Google needs to pay Apple / iOS for Default Search Engine, and paying Samsung for staying on Android with Google Search.

Basically Google is being squeezed left and right. So the only way to increase revenue or profits to satisfy the money they spend on Apple and Samsung? More Ads on Youtube and Google Search. The more Ads they serve, the worse UX they have. All while completely fail to compete against AWS or Azure.
Unfortunately, with the advent of SPAs, Web3.0 and the takeover of the web by Angular and friends, we can no longer rely on "links" behaving that way. For the time-being, we've lost that battle and the web is worse-off as a result.

I.e. A lot of the time, links are actually various DOM elements that have onclick handlers and various JS-fuckery meant to obfuscate true behavior from the user and make it more difficult for the user to control the browser. Worse still, how about the user-hostile behavior of browsers that now allow JS to takeover and disable right-click, select and copy functions.
Starting X early is IMO a bit of a red herring with child development, especially when they're in the low single digits. Their minds grow in power recognizably on a weekly basis (particularly noticeable when you spend a week apart) that an amazing uphill achievement at time t can be a trivially picked up thing at time t+1.

I think you're right on the culture thing. My kid loves new books and understands that they contain stories. A household without that is far more likely to cause issues with reading because the motivation will be missing.
> ...We will never be able to accurately count the number of messages on the Fediverse...

In many ways, I hope that blindness continues...While i know my opinion there hurts valid research studies (and any stats work like yourself might conduct - sorry about that!), I think the pseudo-privacy that the network affords is worth the likelihood that any data set is only a fraction of the true numbers. My intent is not to be flippant....i just really value this nebulous aspect of the network...Like someone who values their small town feel (warts and all), and dislikes Big City folks who charge into said fictional small town trying to change things that may not need changing. (Not saying you or other researchers do so...just using a cheesy analogy)
English doesn't have consistent rule-based writing spelling, so kids have to essentially memorize all word spellings. Since some kids suck at this game, there have to be compensation strategy to fill in the blanks. At some point it went too far and the last resort compensation strategy became the main method children are taugh (tough? tof? damn this language, it makes no sense) to read.
Go on, trust the metrics. It locked up every time I had to do many writes without delay.
I was a paid rec sports referee at 13 for the younger kids league, and I worked unpaid for the family business before that. There's no way I could have, or should have, done that full-time. A few hours on the weekends or the odd weeknight was a good experience. My wife grew up on a farm, so she was doing age-appropriate farm work at an even younger age, and she also thinks it was a good experience. There's a difference between child labor and a child doing age-appropriate work.

And what about the plenty of policies Apple has that I don't agree with and they've declared not their problem?

* their developer policies (as in my own apps, think business apps, playing around, ... and no the little play education app is not enough)

* file synchronization apps (syncing books, development/source code, apps, photos and music on my webserver, ios, android, and laptops through syncthing)

* emulation (in both directions). Both emulating other systems on the iPhone and emulating the iPhone/ios elsewhere (strange how they have always allowed and even facilitated this for macos, but on either iphone or ipad ...)

* their policy about 30% cut on anything sold through apps. Sorry, but that's just going too far

* their charging policies (meaning what their devices allow for charging and how fast. And frankly 90% of the problem I have with their policy on charging is how complicated it is. If they merely instituted a rule "if it's apple equipment, it just works as fast as possible", that'd already be a big improvement)

At this point I'm very inclined to say, not getting the 30% cut and still having to check ... is Apple's problem, not mine. How about we treat it the way apple treats their customers' problems? At this point I don't care about whatever problems being reasonable presents for Apple.
