Philips’ “managers” are screwing up many of their historic product lines and then discontinuing them when the margins go negative.

HN is filled full of money and well-connected engineers.

There are hundreds of people on this site that can begin creating a competing company/product line starting tomorrow if they care to.

It's exceptionally difficult, expensive, with a high risk of failure. And it'll properly take years of your life even if it fails. No small order for sure.

A lot of them start out that way, while they're still founder owned/controlled. The enshittification is a market opening, if someone dares to pursue it.

They want to muddy the waters by arguing the FTC is impartial towards Amazon. But the problem with that argument is that it's not the job of the FTC to be impartial. Their mandate is to protect competition and consumers, which is naturally impartial to individual companies.
Safari is updated independently of macOS. Today I installed Safari 17 on Ventura. It’s available in Monterey as well.

The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.” He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”

“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”

In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.

“You discover I’m right,” the door said. It sounded smug.
From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt’s money-gulping door.

“I’ll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out.

Joe Chip said, “I’ve never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live through it.”

And it's still wrong. Amazon does 100s of billions of 1st party sales. As does Costco, Walmart, Target, and probably a dozen other stores I'm not aware of. It scales, big time. Choosing products to sell when you have a giant distribution engine is one of the most scaleable things in business.

If you want to trot out the principle of charity, it goes both ways. You assumed people were nitpicking. It was wrong. Every way you want to spin it by changing words, wrong.
One of my children had a serious problem right after birth with breathing (central apnea). He'd stop breathing suddenly while sleeping. If this had happened at home he likely would not have made it, but the hospital was very alert to it and after two weeks with many such episodes it suddenly clicked and then it never happened again.

If we had taken him home without knowing about the condition I'm pretty sure a 'SIDS' cause of death would have been one of the possible outcomes regardless of the actual cause (which would have been very hard to determine after the fact).
Yes. Curation is valuable.

Conceptually I'm on board in practice I'm not. Once we actually look at what the other side looks like it's going to be super disappointing. And like everyone else said -- if you don't like the platform go shop for another one theres others out there. No one forced you into the Apple ecosystem.

In-house stuff is for security.

HSMs are mainly for compliance, where a customer needs to check a regulatory box, because some rules says you must use a HSM. The more standard it is, the easier it is to demonstrate to the auditor that you've checked the box.

Here it's a mandatory disclosure item and it's important enough that you can filter by it on the real estate listing sites. More so because now house insulation comes with a mandatory 'bat study' requirement which is absolutely bonkers. So houses that are already energy efficient are at a premium.

What also helps is that the whole system runs without any user intervention. The manual is mostly aimed at people hired to add stuff at some point in the future, or in case something breaks.
The HN discussion isn't related to a "misleading video posted on Douyin"; it's based on accurate news reporting about an academic foreign policy paper (which doesn't speak for US foreign policy).

https://www.theregister.com/2022/01/05/taiwan_should_destory... ("US Army journal's top paper from 2021 says Taiwan should destroy TSMC if China invades")

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31012442 ("Taiwan should destroy TSMC if invaded, suggests US military paper (datacenterdynamics.com)"; 148 comments)

Here's extended context of what the OP is discussing, a different thing:

One of those “Superset” seems wrong.
That’s a lie that the execs tell. Yes, they do have a duty to the shareholders, but the lie is that they are allowed to exercise their reasonable business judgement, which actually gives them very broad latitude to determine what’s in the shareholders interest.

The execs could easily argue that in their business judgement it’s in the shareholders best interests if they make a long term play, and chose to forego maximizing profits in the short term, and instead maintain positive customer goodwill in the interests of maximizing profits over a longer time span.

As long as they can provide some plausible reasoning behind their decision, they’re safe.

So, the “I have to maximize shareholder value” argument is… on the surface true, but hides a ton of autonomy and decision making power that the executives have.

Wut, explain this to me?
...is your bugbear here that these particular scripts are written in C++ instead of Python?

Yes, those flows use ScriptPass, because for the most part they are scripts. If they were written in Tcl, then Yosys would need to depend on a Tcl interpreter, and equivalently a Python interpreter for Python. By just using C++ for these scripts which usually only developers need to modify, Yosys does not need to depend on either.

But anyway, if I was going to mess about with the flow that much, I'd start by running `help synth_xilinx`, which outputs a list of all the commands that it calls (more or less; it can't model control flow like a proper language can), and then that can be edited into what I need it to do.

Great, thank you for teaching me about the English language. None of this addresses a single thing about my point, it's just nitpicking my choice of words.

You can run HA as a Docker container, and I'm pretty sure Hue is a built-in integration.

All of the integrations are open source, so if someone flicking your lights on and off while you're baking cookies or something is a concern, others would have spotted it.

I thought HA was difficult since that's the vibe it gets. It was crazy easy to get going with. Took me a few hours to get all 30+ of my bulbs (different vendors too), locks, cameras, etc. baked in and working with HomeKit.

In those eras your entire life was basically work, because nobody else would do things for you. Fence broke? You gotta fix it.

Sure, they might not have spent as many hours farming, but they also needed to manually do all of the other things necessary for a decent life. Wash clothes by hand, take care of the (farm) animals, repair your house, build a house, cut trees, make firewood etc. It's an endless list of things that nowadays you just pay someone some money for.

EU technology companies are not known for their profiteering compared to American ones. Just saying.
> Very often, abuse is diagnosed “by default”, because no known alternative explanation was found (or even actively sought). This is extremely dangerous, as it seems to indicate that no further medical discovery need ever be made in the future.

Well, "dangerous" for who? For a lot of people involved in "child abuse" – from medical professionals to child services to the police – a false positive carries basically no consequences: you report it, or follow up, or do whatever your task is, "to be sure", and that's it.

But a false negative can have a lot more consequences, including losing your job, lawsuits, becoming the centre of a media circus, becoming the target of an investigation yourself, etc. etc.

Also see: most Amber Alerts should not have been sent, and are just simple cases of runaways, miscommunications, or family drama. But the official "pushing the button" to send out an alert has the same incentives as above.

The incentives are pretty obvious.
The alternative is government standards. You have power outlets you can interchangeably plug different appliances into. Why? Standards. Let there be a standard for color-controllable light sources that ensures interoperability of components, and then there will be competition to hit price-vs-shittiness balances suiting multiple parties.

This is said by "Rep. Seth Moulton (Mass.) — one of the Democratic Party’s leading voices on defense":

Speaking at a Milken Institute panel in Los Angeles, Moulton said: “One of the interesting ideas that’s been floated out there for deterrence is just making it very clear to the Chinese that if you invade Taiwan, we’re going to blow up TSMC.” He continued: “I just throw that out not because that’s necessarily the best strategy, but because it’s an example of the debate that’s out there. And of course, the Taiwanese really don’t like this idea.” [1]

My wife is a pediatric ER doctor. That’s not how that works. If suspected SIDS case/unexplained death comes in, it would be handed over to the child abuse team and the medical examiner would determine cause of death. The medical examiner is detached from crying parents.

What you’re talking about would require a lot more than just one well meaning doctor.
That’s all great but what most companies lack is an actual currency system. A universal medium of exchange that can be exchanged for goods and services.

Often you need help from another group but your group isn’t in a position to barter 1:1 so you need to be able to have some sort of universal currency to exchange with. So many great projects and improvements die because you simply can’t offer anything the other party values and setting up 3 or 4 way trades is incredibly difficult.
I neglected to mention that the mail order resellers demanded we provide them with product at 50% of the price we retailed it. So, if we lowered the retail price, we'd also have to lower the wholesale price.

What monopoly? Android has a larger market share than Apple by quite a large factor in the European Union.

Saying that Apple does not provide value is laughable - saying that it isn't worth 30% of the transaction value might be one thing, but they provide the R&D to create the device, the platform, the review infrastructure, update infrastructure, development environment, etc.

I'm not even sure I disagree with you, but you have to at least describe what you are against correctly.
The argument isn’t that they’re closing the stores to promote a narrative, but that after deciding to close a store, they will spin it as favorably as possible.
That's a scary thought, I depend on mounting NFSv4 files systems. I'm not sure SMB is a replacement, almost certainly wouldn't be as performant [on 10/100 GbE networks].
> Why would interest rates be the factor here?

The projected growth of revenue is not likely to materialize with higher interest rates. Investors will not invest in the stock as compared to the risk free 5% from US treasuries. So the stock will likely not grow any longer. More likely to flatline or collapse.

This makes the paper billionaire CEO a mere hundred millionaire, which is unacceptable.
And saying just don't use FBA is no solution either. Shipping large heavy stuff is expensive, and I best Amazon has much better rates negotiated with the carriers.
Well there is actually an interesting political side to this, where the Biden administration set up the strongest anti-trust FTC in two generations by pulling a bait and switch on the Senate. They essentially made zero indication she would be tapped to chair the commission until after she was confirmed, which is when the tech lobby and their allies in Congress started making noise that she couldn't be impartial.

It was a galaxy brain political move early in the administration and a direct reason why we're seeing these antitrust cases prosecuted.

It is for speed.

With our central processor units we developed a process model where each process was isolated memory wise from each other. And then went on to destroy that model with threads... but I digress. This process isolation culture was probably born from shared systems where each user needs to be isolated from each other. but has served us well with in providing robust single user systems. and has proved critical with the move back to shared cloud computing.

Graphical processing units hove no concept of memory isolation. and have no culture of wanting it. They were high performance units for a single user only. At this point trying to introduce isolation levels would probably be a lost cause. Many people would be very unhappy at the performance hit that would be required.

But yeah a GPU in a shared environment spooks me as well.

Closing a store is definitely a big business decision.

I mentioned 9 out of 2000, hoping that it is self evident that a statement about stable average theft over 2000 does not contradict the fact that in the extremes you can have a large increase in theft that results in unprofitable stores.
The problem is also your fellow consumers, most of whom don’t actually care about the things us nerds care about.
> The amount of mental gymnastics on display here (not to mention bloodthirstiness) to not acknowledge that the new terms are genuinely a huge improvement and likely palatable to the majority of game actual developers in crazy.

A huge improvement relative to the current pricing policy in effect (the status quo), no. A huge improvement relative to the previous incoming pricing policy, yes. But that's only the half of it. The other half is that Unity cannot be trusted to abide by its own terms of service. I don't need mental gymnastics to decide that Unity will never be palatable again.

Unity's terms as of October 2022 included the line:

> If material modifications are made to these Terms, Unity will endeavor to notify you of the modification. [1]

But in April 2023, Unity silently rewrote the terms, and one of the changes was removing that self-obligation [2]. Ctrl-F for "notif" and you won't find a match.

> I have a few friends who work on relatively medium-scale game development operations and every one of them is basically saying “oh thank god, we can work with this”.

It's good that Unity decided not to screw your friends after all. But "oh thank god, we can work with this" suggests an aftertaste of dread. I don't make games, but if I did I would not want to rely on the company which gave me such dread.
