The people giving VCs money aren't dumb and VC has been a pretty good asset class over the past two decades, which is when it really exploded in size. It's a self-correcting problem, when VC returns are no longer attractive (might be starting already) the fund sizes will go down and only the lucky and/or skilled firms will remain.
On Social Media I like how people like to 'Travel' and are also lecturing others on saving the environment.

Reality is everyone wants to save the environment, no one wants to sacrifice for it.
They justify their indulgence in consumerism and wastage by saying they bought something eco friendly.

Yeah, right. That's going to fix everything.
> I'm not going to switch back for only one reason: iMessage. [...] This is why regulators need to do something about the wireless market (operating systems, carriers, and app stores).

I'm not sure why any of the regulations proposed would open up iMessage. How would regulations force Apple to develop iMessage for Android?
Sounds like the buyer should have ASKED for the sheriff.... Private police threatening fines and jail time? Let them say that with law enforcement around for any follow up lawsuit.

A purchase was made and the wrong product arrived at his door.. the seller had legitimate reason to have the product, but broke a street date... The customer did not ask for unreleased product...

Sounds like the dealer is at fault, but not "stolen property"... Do card dealers not own their inventory before a street date? (And, therefore, sold product that was not his?) (Vs. breach of contract)
I get that the youtuber just wanted no trouble, but he may have really screwed himself by not insisting on a waver of liability, agreement that the existing videos can stay up (or, alternatively, compensation to replace the lost income from them), and compensation for his costs at a minimum.

Handing WOTC's paid thugs the material probably didn't do anything to reduce his risk and took away the little leverage he had -- they could even try to spin his willingness to hand it over as an admission that his possession was unlawful.
If this is a homeowners perspective, imagine how the current renting class feels. Something will boil over eventually.
My guess is hardware differences are probably part of the polish. Apple processors tend to be much more performant than their competition. But they also tend to have a lot less memory on board.

I came at it as a value consumer, and I still contend that used SE iPhones are the best value across the board. But also, I don't really use apps (or my phone in general) much, so OS support and responsiveness are my only two real concerns. YMMV.
It's been a lot of years since I first read Scanners Live in Vain, but I always remember the first two lines.

...

Martel was angry. He did not even adjust his blood away from anger. He stamped across the room by judgment, not by sight. When he saw the table hit the floor, and could tell by the expression on Luci's face that the table must have made a loud crash, he looked down to see if his leg were broken. It was not. Scanner to the core, he had to scan himself. The action was reflex and automatic. The inventory included his legs, abdomen, Chestbox of instruments, hands, arms, face and back with the Mirror. Only then did Martel go back to being angry. He talked with his voice, even though he knew that his wife hated its blare and preferred to have him write.

"I tell you, I must cranch. I have to cranch. It's my worry, isn't it?"
If the prices have significantly risen since you purchased (as they have for most buyers) then moving even to the same quality of house makes you a net buyer because you need to take on more financing.

Remember, the day you buy a house, you are no richer. This is because the asset (house) is offset by the liability (the mortgage).
Immigration has always been an issue in America, even in the past when the immigrants were white, and even now among Hispanics themselves.

I do actually have a dashcam built into my personal vehicle. I have mixed feelings about it, but overall I think the benefits outweigh the risks.

that said, the risks are not to be taken lightly. even if the recording is only stored locally, it can be seized by authorities or subpoenaed later. you can't guarantee it will only be used to settle minor traffic disputes.

like I said, I'm (mostly) happy to make that decision for myself. but having the government require people to collect evidence against themselves is a hard no from me.

No opinion on the model or product itself, but I remember reading a very early math or physics book (think like Euclid's elements or Newton's Principia from Hawking's Anthologies) and the proofs were laid out as a dialog between 2 people being critical of each others arguments. I always thought that was awesome. The point of a proof is to convince its reader, and before a lot of formality was created, they were literally laid out as a dialog where one person tried to convince the other.

I found it an effective and engaging mechanism and use it in my own head all the time.

Even if you have significant equity in your house, the supply of "better" comparable homes is sparse at best.

And likely your existing mortgage is at a rate 1/2 of the current rates.
I think I agree with this in general. And my own experiences line up with this documented rise. But I also wonder if the rates for men, even white men, are undercounted here. My impression is they’re the group least well equipped to recognize some of the more subtle signs of depression or be vulnerable enough to seek help or admit it on record. Suicide rates for white, middle-aged men are the highest for all groups currently. Either they’re more effective at it (possibly?) or this methodology isn’t capturing something.

A place I worked built out a SQL server which had a TCO of a million dollars a year. 1 Machine. Don't ask me how it all adds up; the manager over it just quoted me that at a work social one time.

I don't know how much it cost a customer I had to build over a couple decades, but their eCommerce website had an operational run rate of at least 3 million a month just in cloud costs (not including all the other externalities).

All this to say that I can see how it might add up.

I like the metaphor of the spiral wishingwell. The coin/ball represents the level of depression you sink into. The gravitational draw of the void makes the spiral go faster unless you figure out a way to pull out of it and the longer you wait the harder it is to pull out cause it's moving too quickly.

So the trick becomes keeping the coin/ball off of the spiral

I think a big reason is that Google has been trying to play Apple's game and copy Apple's success, but they just aren't capable of being Apple.

I think Android would be more stable of an option if it had leaned in harder to the things that made it special. It should be built around powerful capabilities, not being the cheaper iPhone alternative.

How many people wanted to give "Android" a try and bought a Pixel only to deal with horrible quality control and terrible support? If the phone was half price and allowed you to do crazy things not possible on iOS maybe people would stay.

But right now, people just see it as being worse on the core things most people care about: calls, messaging (especially iMessage), social media, camera, and support... and it's about the same price.

I don't think so. Steam, for example, supports mods directly from the Steam client. Many of the games I play specifically support mods from within the game itself, integrated with this Steam mod functionality, and it even takes care of upgrades, dependencies and such.

There's a thriving ecosystem of games and mods out there, no such thing as a golden age that has ended.

Starcraft II for example has a host of excellent mods. My group doesn't even play the original Starcraft game, and I don't have any interest in it either, but we have sunk many hours into different custom maps.

Yes, but it requires people to know their legal rights, and engage with them

Had the police been called most likely the police would have said "this is a civil matter" not done nothing, at most taken a report for a detective to investigate the alleged theft.

Also had the homeowner just said "leave my property", and then the police called, the private militia would then be trespassing and the police would remove them.

Here however the homeowner basically consented to the actions, the search, and the seizure while under threat of additional legal action they still consented.

Know your rights.
Unfortunately I killed my previous phone, which was capable of running /e/OS, in an area of the world where replacement options are limited. As a result, I've had to experience first-hand just how awful stock Android can be, and how meaningless a term like 'stock Android' is when different makes can provide wildly different experiences (i.e., Samsung phones are the worst-in-class for battery-saving 'innovations' that break several features and apps that rely on them [0]). The moment I'm able to I'll be back on /e/OS, but I can fully understand the appeal for the less technically-inclined to just stick with (or swap to) the nice, uniform, slick iOS.

The self checkout at Costco is almost flawless and convenient.

The one flaw I've found is, don't scan the twelve pack of 1 litre apple juice bricks (assuming you can even lift it) and then try to heft it onto the tray (like every thing else). Because, just as you do that it then tells you "Don't but the apple juice in the tray, like everything else.". A real back breaker.

Pro tip, ask an attendant to scan your apple juice and leave it in the cart.
Private security appearing at your door may be intimidating, but it’s not a raid.

Threatening someone with fines or jail time, who took receipt of distributed but embargoed product, i.e. by no stretch of the imagination illegal to possess, is the sort of thing you might want to look into legal options for, though.
This is one of my larger personal pet peeves and hills I prefer to die on for no particular reason.

I recently purchased a new car, and it has 23 cameras. 23. I can literally get a 360 degree view of my car on the display, and also directly tap into the rear/front/side cams.

Why the @#$@# is there no port for an NVR, or a built-in NVR at least? Why do I need to deal with running wires through a brand new car, and sticking something ugly to my windshield?

Very frustrating. I know some folks have made mod kits to tap into the equipped cameras for recording, I simply am not that committed to the cause.

My wife switched literally yesterday. She didn’t want to, but the Android smartphone landscape has a paradoxical lack of options.

Her go-to brand was OnePlus, but OnePlus has been slacking the last couple of iterations. Other brands with high end phones were almost as expensive as the iPhone (Samsung) or targeting performance users.

She also got a lot of discounts on her iPhone 14 and managed to get it for under $600 - nearly the same price as a new OnePlus flagship.
This has been possible with CamOnRoad for years (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camonroada...). I used an old iPhone 5S for demoing this app to some friends... just attach it and keep it powered using USB.
Tesla CEO ‘The laptop class is living in la-la land’ over work-from-home
I call my "timer" a "nagger" and use it via a shell nagme() function. Takes care of certain ADHD traits which were previously causing "refocusing" during unpleasant tasks, like emptying the washing machine (half or less clothes would go to the dryer and half would stay in the washing machine while I'd switch to other task). I learned to only turn off the nagger after completing a task and it works.

It's used not just for time-sensitive tasks but also not to over-engineer stuff during hyperfocus.

nagme () {
[ "$#" -ne 2 ] && printf "usage: $0 [in_minutes] [text]\n" && return 1
printf "sleeping $1 min before telling you to $2\n"
sleep $(echo $1\*60|bc)
espeak "$2" > /dev/null 2>&1
while :
do
sleep 30
echo -n '.'
espeak "I'm nagging you to $2" > /dev/null 2>&1
done
}
I really don't want to argue about this (so I don't know why I'm arguing about it. Like I said, I think I'm just cranky this morning.)

> I don't think they need telemetry. Go is clearly a successful language and community without it.

Right! So why "pee in the soup"?

> things could be improved with some telemetry

Or they could not do those things? (I read "Why Telemetry?" and remain unmoved.)

> you could weigh the tradeoffs

I have.

> the potential for improvement doesn't outweigh the risk of misuse

That's not my argument. It's not even misuse that I care about here (I do care about that, but that's a separate concern, and one that doesn't arise if you don't collect data in the first place, eh?), I care about use. I don't want my compiler to make network connections to Google or anybody, for any reason.

> reasonable people can disagree

That's what I said.
>calling the bluff

Maybe at smaller companies, and... for now. I'm placing bets that mega-corps will be back to 5 days/week by the end of the year. If "hallway conversations" are a reason for 3 days per week, then "the data" will show that 5 days leads to more hallway conversations. Managers want to see their empire. Smaller companies will do what they always do: copy bigger companies.

Maybe I'm at peak cynicism, but I suspect we'll end up back where we started. A very small number of remote-first companies (that have always been remote-first), and then everyone else. Big corps will say remote didn't work, despite all evidence to the contrary.
A List of Leaked System Prompts
Pardon me, but I believe you misunderstand how GitHub has implemented "Rebase and Merge". In this case, github will generate new commit IDs even when the rebase is a no-op.

As far as I know, it's impossible to merge a GitHub pull request without one of squashing, generating a merge commit, or rewriting the commits. It is not possible to simply copy pre-existing commit IDs.

You can test this yourself. Simply checkout the main branch, add two new commits, push those commits to a dev branch, and try to merge them in a PR to main in a Rebase: you will observe that github has rewritten the commit IDs vs. the ones you generated locally on commit.
This is how I feel about these "reusable" bags too.

If you sell them at a checkout, you aren't making people adjust to remember to bring bags. You're just making them spend more to buy single use bags.

They definitely are accumulating enough in my house that I'm contemplating using them as bin liners, which is stupid.

But I'm probably not gonna change.

Besides, even if I brought my bags 100% of the time when I went to the store, if I ever order my groceries to be delivered, which I do when I'm super busy at work or too sick to go to the store, they seem to arrive packed into as many reusable bags as humanly possible.

So anyways, yet another thing that we should be leaning on companies to fix but individuals are being blamed for.

Paper bags would have been better but not profitable enough compared to selling "reusable" bags at the checkout line.
I always wonder about stories like this what the internal process that lead to this insane overreaction was. At some point, did someone really make the decision "lets send Pinkertons to this guy's house, risking an enormous publicity backlash"? It's easy to blame "the legal department" for stuff like this, but it seems extreme even for the most zealous attorney.

My hunch is that they probably have some kind of security contract with the Pinkertons to safeguard secrets, and the Pinkertons acted on their own. Hasbro/WotC has done some sketchy stuff recently, but this seems extreme even for them.

That was sarcasm. If you didn’t get, it’s a counterpoint to you about something something non-communal people. I’m quite familiar with issei-nisei-sansei. I’m not qualified to speak about your experience. When I first came to Japan I instantly loved it in so many ways and I visit yearly to take random walks.

If you’ve ever seen the movie “Lost In Translation”, you might find a pachinko parlor scene or two in there. It’s the shallowest of all movies and won an Oscar and I came to realize this is how many people caricature and fantasize Japan.

> You don’t start from scratch. You sell your existing house, which has benefited from inflation, then buy somewhere with the same mortgage payment over the same remaining duration you had if you choose not to trade up.

In California, Prop 13 means that property taxes are essentially fixed and nonincreasing at the time you purchase your house.

This is sometimes used as a defense of Prop 13, but all it really means is that any increase in total tax burden has to fall disproportionately (in fact, almost exclusively) on new purchasers and their tenants.

Forcing someone to relocate means giving up that privileged tax status and starting over "from scratch".

I think that Android has burned too many users in weird ways.

For example, I recently convinced my father to switch to iPhone after 4 years of Android. Why? The first phone he got was a Galaxy S7 (Snapdragon). After just a year it was extremely slow, crashing all the time, overheating... which turned out to actually be a very, very common problem with the processor (Snapdragon 820). It was Qualcomm's first stab at a 64-bit processor and it showed.

Well... try, try again. Galaxy Note 9. After a year, super slow at everything, even though all he does is browse internet and check emails. Even the Microsoft Outlook app would crash loading Inbox 25% of the time with no other apps open. Battery replacement and factory reset didn't help at all. A few months after that, it started dropping Verizon phone calls at random. Turns out that was another flaw widely reported on their forums, specifically on Verizon, with a botched software update installation for the modem, that if you were unfortunate enough to install, could not be removed or repaired or factory reset. And, of course, Samsung wasn't pushing any updates to fix it. Kind of a really big deal when you are a small business owner.

So iPhone 13 he went. A year and a half later and it doesn't drop calls.

Sure, but how often does one look at one's payslip? The money gets deposited in your account. I don't know about the UK, but the amount that gets deposited tends to vary because of small issues, so a different number on my bank statement doesn't trigger alarm bells.

It would be very easy to change my taxes without my knowledge as a result, if the only feedback we had on taxes was what was deducted from our payroll. In the US, there are deductions taken from the paycheck directly, including anticipated federal income tax (called "withholding" here) but also many other miscellaneous taxes.

The withholding, in particular, represent an advance payment on your annual income tax, which you still have to calculate and file. If you withheld more than you owe, then you get a refund, if less than you owe taxes. But regardless you have to compute how much you owe and how much you paid on an annual basis so that you can see it all at once.

Once again, I do not think this method works, but the theory behind it is that this will make it hard to quietly raise taxes, and hard even to maintain current levels of taxation, because it will be a painful process that will make it clear what the current situation is.
