I thought the question of the subject can easily be googled/explained. The hard question is why are wages not keeping up? Greed? But greed has always been there. Shouldn't people stop affording certain things and that lead to a price drop?

I hope an economist answers this but my theory is that most businesses have consilidated/merged into larger businesses over that past two decades and this means they can get by for a couple of years with losing revenue so long as when customers come back the price that is acceptable to charge would make up the difference of whatever they lost
They could break an egg with that level of commitment, cooking it is another thing altogether
Maybe this could help with rating inflation by legitimate reviewers, but I don’t think it would help (and could possibly hurt) with the problem of fraudulent reviews. It would just mean that fake reviews would counterbalance their fake positive reviews with fake negative reviews of other products, making all reviews, in both directions, totally unreliable.

So funny you should mention this! I am almost finished re-reading one of my childhood favorite comics, Rahan [1] , where authors imagined live in prehistoric times, and where almost one third of the albums bring up the topic, one way or another, attempting to imagine what kind of feelings and beliefs such events induced.

The one part of this thesis that I pretty strongly disagree with is the idea that people would prefer to have long, meandering voice conversations with an AI, compared to text.

Just look at anyone under the age of 25 (35 maybe?) They can easily have long, meandering conversations with actual humans using voice, yet I see them go for text 9 times out of ten. As someone on the backside of middle age, I often find it pretty baffling. I like the succinctness of text when I need to send a quick update or ask a short question, but I normally always call someone for an in-depth conversation. But I'll see my nieces text back and forth with friends for literally hours, sometimes getting emotionally worked up, and I'm thinking "OMG, just pick up the phone to your ear and just talk to them."

But I think the reason people prefer texting is the same reason most people still prefer typing, despite tech that, these days, could easily transcribe with great accuracy. At least for me, typing frees up my brain to actually move faster. When typing, I can think about the next phrase or sentence. When talking, I find it much more difficult to "think ahead", so to speak.

So I'm really skeptical that voice interfaces will be "the wave of the future". Sure, I use OK Google a lot, but basically for the same sets of commands as everyone else (What's the weather? Set my alarm. What's next on my calendar? Etc. etc.) Occasionally I'll ask it "search-like" questions. Perhaps I suffer from a dearth of imagination, but I just have a hard time believing long voice conversations with a machine are something most folks would want.
The part is the same, but the price changes depending on the cause code entered into GSX; if it's sold as a battery replacement, the cost of the replacement topcase is much less than if you spilt a drink on the keyboard.

I suggest you try the assistant features on a Pixel 8 Pro. They have all the features you mentioned (except the creepy eavesdropping golf one) and the interaction is miles ahead, especially the text to speech.
I wonder if it's sometimes advantageous to lose a patent case. Maybe an unscrupulous company (not Apple) could intentionally lose a patent case, to help widen the moat between them and any would-be clones, because they can afford to pay the patent troll and clones cannot.
Any bold statements made that can't be supported will quickly be shot down by other teams. So long as they've been transparent enough about their methodology others can try replicate their results. You don't have to like China or w/e for Chinese research to be valid.

Not to mention food. Eating at a brasserie in Paris, two meals, two drinks was about 24-27 euros. When we came back from our trip we ate at a “French” restaurant in our town serving the exact same food and it was close to $80 plus 20% for a tip. Two meals and two drinks. Not to mention the quality was much less even though it’s highly reviewed.

America is expensive in a lot of ways you get much less than what you pay for.
If you've chosen to go to a fast charger, you're always going to get a charge and you'll just pay what it costs. That's not going to change.

But for a destination charger (e.g. shopping center), or a charger at home or work, it doesn't have to be like that. I would have a system where there's three options (can be three big light up buttons) - 1. I need the battery charged right now, 2. I'd like the battery charged over the next 6 hours, and 3. I have enough charge for now, but do charge me up if it's free or prices are negative.

Option 2 would probably be the default, because it would be able to modulate the demand and charge very cheaply, because it'd mostly only have to avoid the two-hour or so peak periods (like the solar duck curve). Option 1 is there when you need it, but you might pay a few dollars more for a charge. During the day in summer, in areas with lots of solar (like my state in Australia) you might be able to always select Option 3, and usually get a full charge (well, I'd set the 80% limit but fully up to there) every time without ever paying anything.

It doesn't have to be hard - you just tell it you want charge right now, over the next little while, or you don't care, and you pay (or don't pay) a differently depending on what you select. It can be a very small number of super simple and extremely intuitive options, not complex settings you need to think about. People scare-monger about "Governments taking away our ability to use power when we want", but it's actually going to be "Utilities will offer incentives like free electricity if you choose to shift your usage" - just offering more options, not taking away freedoms.

I think the "getting rid of private ownership" thing is a red herring. I don't think its accurate to say that most people hold it as some kind of deep personal philosophy; not to the "renting is sometimes convenient and good" degree, but the "ownership is bad and should be discouraged" degree. Obviously there exists people with communist ideology, which while I disagree with feels at least defensible; but we're not talking about Land and Inventions, we're talking about, you know, bricks of Smart Metal in our bags.

That differentiation is important, because it reveals the main reason why Apple is successful, and why they don't get market pushback: Most people just don't care. There's a good chunk of radicalization on the side of Freedom, there's very little radicalization on the other side, mostly just people who haven't thought about it enough, and then there's the vast majority in the middle who just don't care.

I take comfort in that reality, because it indicates to me that this will probably change. We're seeing right to repair gain steam in US legislature. It takes time to develop shared language and understanding on why this is important, and why it matters, with those people in the center, many in positions of power.
Is it a good idea to buy Ultra 2 now or will Apple nuke this functionality ?
Seems obnoxious without a doubt, and particularly egregious if reporter is bringing/offering a fix. But maybe I should try to be open-minded about this? Issues that provide even badly written bug reports are probably doing a service to the project itself. Feature requests OTOH might just be internet strangers requesting free labor on someone's generously-public yet resource-starved passion project. In the 2nd case, and without speculating on why the project owner would even care.. maybe fake internet points in lieu of other payment is the least people can do. That said though, obviously if everyone does this, it will erode the signal of what stars are supposed to mean. Hmm.

> Broadly speaking, this indicates that there needs to be a mechanism to bind your IRL identity to your digital identity and your device(s)

The link between digital identity and device ownership would have been sufficient to prevent this situation without involving IRL identity. The author had a chance to establish that link, but chose not to.

I enjoy Apple's services, but I can understand why someone wouldn't want their computer phoning home to a big tech company all the time. It's pretty difficult to understand why someone who doesn't want their device phoning home to Apple, would be OK with their device phoning home to the government?
That teens like iMessage and are dumb enough to cyber bully each other over it is not Apple's fault in the least. Their idiocy definitely does not constitute market abuse on Apple's part.
Very similar to Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos where “fake it till you make it” was abused and taken to the point of “fraud”.

> Yes, Android has its advantages to iOS, but they aren’t particularly meaningful to most people, and even for those that care — like me — they are not large enough to give up on iOS’s overall superior user experience.

That's not the real question though - the real question is whether people find iOS compelling enough to pay a premium for using it and put up with the ecosystem lock-in. And the user experience is only superior when you're used to it, as a longtime Android user I regularly get frustrated when having to use an iOS device...

I've heard the arguments for switching to binary choice (netflix also did a big writeup about it), but I'd still prefer the ability to give a bit more nuance in my rating. It feels weird giving a movie that is okay and a movie that is excellent the same rating.

Rotten Tomatoes goes further to emphasize the "love it or hate it" dichotomy - they display a ripe red tomato for a movie with a rating of 60 and a splattered green tomato for a movie with a score of 59.

> The only good reason is to save money on buttons and knobs.

That’s not quite right. At scale the buttons and knobs are cheap. Having designed many control panels for a wide range of applications, I can tell you that good design is an excruciatingly long and painfully expensive undertaking.

You cannot recompile your way out of a poorly working physical control panel or bad design. You can’t just throw something together for testing and finish it while other teams complete the design of the rest of the car, machine, etc.

As a real example, you might have to evaluate hundreds of button designs for tactile, audible and visible feel. Once sub-selected, you might evaluate over a dozen full scale control panel mock-ups before design lock. Etc.

Touch screens allow you to eliminate a huge portion of what goes into creating a user interphase.
Qt 6.6 and 6.7 Make QML Faster Than Ever: A New Benchmark and Analysis
Because outside of the USA, android has 75% or more market share, and so their global dominance in things is at scale, bigger than Apple. And, since Apple is a single vertically integrated channel, it comes with the territory: its closed at root. Android however has diverse supply chains and does things in a way which encourages "yes but.." questions to be asked.

Also, although I have some trouble saying this right, there is a legal dictum in general that somebody else being a bastard doesn't legally justify you being one too: so "but them" is legally meaningless: if Apple is bad, in due course they should be made to pay. Google is taken into law as itself, unless the law decides to bring a group into the process.

I’m not aware of any US state that has a DUI threshold below .08. Nobody is above that threshold after one drink, unless your “drink” consists of multiple drinks worth of alcohol (eg, a cocktail that’s technically multiple units of alcohol). Most people would be safe legally to drive after 2 drinks. If you waited an hour or 2 then even 3 drinks would be safe.

Not condoning anyone driving when they’re intoxicated, but it’s not like a single drink is enough to do it.

I feel like it depends somewhat on where the unit is located. If it's in a downtown area with half a dozen coffee shops within a few blocks, maybe it's not necessary. But if it's in the suburbs, then yeah coffee is pretty much required.

When I first learned about isolation levels in databases I was shocked that databases could “lie” to me. I think like most devs focused on the product end I just expected databases to be a magical black box that worked perfectly. Which I assumed was just the strictest definition of serializability without really thinking about it.

After watching some of Andy Pavlo’s lectures[1] it all just dawned on me: Databases are just like any other piece of code you write and have to think about all the tradeoffs with algorithms and book keeping to keep things efficient and providing the guarantees you want.

I highly recommend that lecture series.

Shameless plug: the reason I watched those lectures was to understand the internals of DBs better because I started working at Convex. Where we try to make sure things like this is something an app developer doesn’t have to worry about. Though we do mention it in our docs[2] for the curious.

It’s also interesting how almost all the negative responses here are comparing the situation to what would’ve happened with a laptop that has no feature like ‘find my’, and somehow concluding that the original owner would’ve been in a better situation if ‘find my’ did not exist.

But the reason the laptop was bricked was that someone other than the owner _deliberately bricked it_ (by turning on ‘find my’ and locking the laptop to a new iCloud account). It’s always been the case that a thief could break your laptop (and not return it!).

Additionally, the only reason they got their (non-functioning) laptop _back_ was that the thief realized they couldn’t unlock it and thought it was tied to the original owner’s iCloud account! If it had been working, I don’t think they’d have got it back.

Why the negative sentiment against this? It doesn't cost people anything to star a project. Whether it is a PR or not, the maintainer still had to review and maintain the code and that is time they will spend. The more stars a project gets, the more support it gets. It's not like you pay for stars or it is burdensome to click on the star button.
