> “the module is swapped for one that unlocks no matter what, and upon noticing the phone isn’t unlocking, the THIEF resets and lets the owner set up Face ID again”

The thief wouldn't have been able to reset Face ID, would they? Also it would make sense to warn a second time when you go to set up Face ID again.

If they reset the entire phone, uh, they could have handed you a different phone entirely. I don't see how part swapping is the problem here.

> They’re also is the case of “Steal two phones, swap a few parts, reset the phones, and sell them second-hand”. Both phones will have 100% genuine parts.

What role does the part swap have in this scenario? What stops me from simplifying it to "Steal two phones, reset the phones, and sell them second-hand."? Because if that simplification is valid, then this scenario has nothing to do with repairability.
This introduces a long-standing problem that is really the main issue I have with Docker/Podman/containers on anything other than Linux - you have a dedicated VM that needs memory to be set aside for it exclusively.

This is fine if you have a 32/64GB machine, but less so on an 8GB non-upgradeable laptop.

I get it - memory is relatively cheap these days - and manufacturers that are building memory-limited devices are really only doing it to fleece you on obscene upgrade fees at the time of purchase - but it would be nice if there was a more elegant solution to this on Windows and macOS.

WSL 1 had a solution to this that clearly took a lot of work to put together, wherein they'd have a Linux kernel running side-by-side as a Windows sub-process so that the memory pool was shared. Unfortunately it might have been too much work as they scrapped it entirely for WSL 2 and just used essentially the same VM route.

If anyone knows of any projects trying to work around that problem I'd love to hear about it. If Apple really wanted to bring the development community back on board, focusing on these kind of use cases would be great, sadly it seems someone over there has taken the view that scrapping butterfly keys and the touchbar is "enough".

Say what you will about Microsoft, but they've focused really hard on developer use cases for decades, and it shows.

> What does a credit rating even mean for a country that prints reserve currency?

The credit rating affects borrowing cost (how much interest you have to pay). When you think of the debt ceiling that the US frequently hits, somebody is buying that debt.

And reserve currency or not. Printing your own money dilutes it, contributing to inflation.

Edit:

Forgot to say, a lot of that debt is held by U.S. tax payers and corporations. To see what effect rising interest rates have, you need to look no further than Silicon Valley Bank.
> All nations other than the US buy the B variant for their carrier forces as they don't have catapult carriers (or can't/aren't interested in the F-35).

France has CATOBAR on Charles de Gaulle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_aircraft_carrier_Charle...

While they won't buy F35 this can matter for joint operations.

> As of July 2021, Charles de Gaulle was the only non-American carrier-vessel that had a catapult launch system, which has allowed for operation of F/A-18E/F Super Hornets and C-2 Greyhounds of the United States Navy.

Similarly Rafale M (for "Marine" a.k.a French navy) is CATOBAR and cleared for U.S. carriers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Rafale#Variants

> Similar to Rafale C, but with modifications to allow operations from CATOBAR - equipped aircraft carriers. For carrier operations, the M model has a strengthened airframe, longer nose gear leg to provide a more nose-up attitude, larger tailhook between the engines, and a built-in boarding ladder. Consequently, the Rafale M weighs about 500 kg (1,100 lb) more than the Rafale C. It is the only non-US fighter type cleared to operate from the decks of US carriers, using catapults and their arresting gear, as demonstrated in 2008 when six Rafales from Flottille 12F integrated into the USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Air Wing interoperability exercise.

I simply know that sincerely believing something to be so has no actual bearing on truth. I know that results are what matter because that is what we employ with each other. And because that's the only thing Evolution "cared" about.

That's good for you.

It is quite plainly possible to produce a system at least as intelligent as a human literally through random chance, based solely on what happens to work. That is, in fact, the sole example we have for how to make anything like AGI.

You're free to disable SIP, so your post makes no sense.

Sorry what? The NHS is free. There is no Medicare. Private health insurance is a luxury, it’s basically a queue jump to see the same doctors often in the same hospital as the NHS offers. Pricing is transparent because they just send you to the NHS for non profitable stuff. And if the test were necessary + urgent you’d get it free in the NHS anyway.
In fact the awful incentives it creates mainly just lead to lots of unnecessary tests. That’s why insurance often won’t pay.
Your first point about price, I think is skewed by the high energy prices in UK and Europe. Elsewhere in the world, it may be a lot more attractive.

Your point about having to "inevitably replace an EV battery after a few years", did you mean "incidentally", instead of "inevitably"?

The rest of your points may be valid or not, I don't know. But I feel like the picture is more nuanced.

> no catalytic converters to steal..

I predict that within 10 years gangs will start stealing EV batteries. With a grinder, trolley and 5 minutes you could remove one from a car. Then take it away and connect it to the grid as stationary storage and earn a few thousand dollars a year in balancing fees.
Subsidizing some technology or another isn't new.

No, you just don't seem to understand how subsidies work. There are legal subsidies -- take for instance, food or defense industries, or anything that's produced and consumed domestically is up to individual country to decide.

Then, there are illegal subsidies: "export subsidies" or "import substitution." China, as a member of WTO, is prohibited from giving any subsidy contingent on export performance, or on the use of domestic over imported goods. So for instance, China's subsidies were only given to EVs with domestic batteries made by domestic companies over foreign companies -- even if they were made in China, since 2015. China forced out foreign competitors, eg LG Chem which had close to 50% of the Chinese EV battery market share prior to this now down to less 1%, despite being the world's largest EV battery maker outside China, and ensured that only their domestic champions received EV subsidies in a market where subsidies accounted for as much as 40% of new EV cost. This is all ok, so long as China never intends to sell their EVs over the water -- after all, it's their money. China's EV initiative however was geared towards exports and dominating the field. EV subsidies elsewhere are obviously legal b/c, unlike, China's, they don't violate those rules.

Because its not just about cars, its everything from mine to the battery. And their policies weren't that anti-competitive, European and US car makers made a lot of money in China for quite a while and they didn't transfer much EV technology.

China's EV initiative didn't really start until 2009 when they first announced their EV subsidies. CATL for instance wasn't even founded until 2011; BYD was really nobody back then. The modern lithium ion batteries really became popular after SONY's first commercialization in the early 1990's -- the Japanese and Korean really kept the industry going since. And the leaders in the battery industry for instance were LG, Panasonic, Samsung, BASF, all of whom were asked to give up their IPR in exchange to access China's NEV market. This is detailed in the EU's WTO dispute against China's forced tech transfer - WT/DS549.

While China has long dominated the metal refining/processing industry largely due to developed countries' aversion to pollution, China's EV resource acquistion/spree likewise didn't really start until 2010's.

It’s entirely rule-bound. All it does is draw tokens from a statistical distribution. What people mostly don’t like to contemplate is that they too are entirely rule-bound: Brains do nothing but follow the laws of physics, proceeding from one state to the next on the basis of these rules alone.
> The wireless charging charges 1% per hour

Hmm, Iphone 14 pro max takes 2h15 to charge on the cable, so roughly 2x as much, even longer wirelessly. The other points may be a fair critique but this one isn't. My Galaxy 22 ultra takes also around 1% per hour wired, I don't see any issue there, this is what non-chinese flagships deliver now/last year.

I'm not sure what's the price of a kWh where you live.

Where I live (France), at 0.22 €/kWh:

- If I use Tesla Superchargers (ie. a long-distance trip), my expenditure in power is half of what I'd pay for petrol.

- If I charge at home (ie. 95% of my car use), my expenditure is between one half and one third.

and the ride is so much more fun.

My car battery is 4 years old and retains almost the same charge as when it was brand new. How many are "a few years" in your opinion, and what observations have you made to form that opinion?

Also, let's imagine that my battery drops to a 60% charge retention when it is, say, 12 years old. Why would I have to "inevitably replace" it, while it is still largely adequate for almost all my needs?

And by the way, when I do long-distance trips, I take longer to change my toddler's diapers and/or feed him than it takes for my car to be topped-up for the next leg of the trip. If anything, I'm inconvenienced by having to move the car away from the charger because it's ready before I am.

Last, but not least, it only takes a couple days of workers' strike at an oil-related industry for people to spend hours queuing at the one gas station that has not run dry yet.

Speaking as someone who is very good at these questions: they’re not a good predictor of dev capability. They are, however, pretty good at determining if you put several weeks of work in.

I think yours is a very blind take.

The Japanese auto industry deliberately decided to put the emphasis on hybrid technologies before EVs.

- the overwhelming amount of the world does not and will not have infrastructure to support that many EVs for quite some time. Energy-starved countries such as most of Europe bar some like Scotland or Norway are already unable to cope with the current electricity demand. Japan itself has a grid that's isolated from the rest of the world and even internally it has several design issues (east and south grids run at different frequencies, 50 vs 60hz) that prevents them from scaling

- for the aforementioned reasons, demand for petrol cars is going to be still high for decades to come in most of the world.. Not only most, if virtually all, automakers already have EVs out there, but the technology evolves at such a rapid pace, that waiting before converting is quite sensible. Don't forget that the investments required in EV world are much smaller in comparison to producing ICE-powered machines. There's lots of know how involved in those, and developing an ICE costs multiple billions. E.g. The OM654 Mercedes diesel engine costed more than 3 billions in R&D and benefitted from lots of know-how Mercedes possessed by decades. Thinking that legacy automakers will struggle in the transition is a rather blind take. Yes, many won't enjoy such a market dominance as they did, but that's mostly related to how relatively easy (compared to ICEs) it is to create an EV startup and offer something that others don't. On a much smaller scale the auto industry will see the same disruption that the gaming one saw with indie video games.
Would you have these same thoughts if it was two white people? Or does that sound absurd to you?

I have these thoughts about Homebrew also.

macOS apps have to be signed and notarised to run without a warning, which is a pretty big part of the defence picture for this software - the certificates can be revoked at any time to block the software if malicious behaviour is identified.

However, if I install Homebrew, then install python, then install a pip package, there's really no kind of scanning/notarization/checking happening at all. I wonder if this is something Apple has ever looked into - it seems like the exact scenario where you'd want to sandbox it away from the rest of the system.
