> What particular "competitive advantage" does the US have in "energy production"?

Incredible reserves of natural gas and oil to start with. Massive solar and wind potential as well, way beyond other highly-populated parts of the world. A huge, skilled population capable of designing and building indigenous nuclear reactors, and the capital reserves to fund and build basically whatever is needed.

> Do we employ so many such workers, that there are none left over for any sort of manufacturing?

Money going into building inefficient factories is money not spent educating software engineers, building solar farms, or. developing new gas fracking technologies. Regardless of it being public or private capital. It's not that there aren't enough workers, it's that effort spent in one way is necessarily effort not spent in another.

Slightly reducing economic efficiency may well be worth it if the result is social stability, and almost definitely to prepare for an eventual war or crisis. But we shouldn't pretend like there's no trade-off here. That's how we got into this free-trade deindustrialised problem in the first place.
Whether they are the "best paid lawyers" or not, if I was Apple I would let the marketing department keep an eye on these public statements.

I parsed this as (X Purges Prominent Journalists), (Leftists with No Explanation) at first and was pretty confused. If that should happen to anyone else, it's supposed to b (X Purges Prominent Journalists, Leftists) (with No Explanation).

I had a 2001 GTI and it similarly only reliably worked within probably 25' of the vehicle. In contrast, my 2017 F150 fob works as much as 150-200' from the vehicle. I tremendously appreciate this, especially with remote start to warm it in the winter.
If I had to guess, the hardware registers are leftover debugging facilities from manufacturing. I don't buy the claim that Apple was secretly complicit with an alphabet agency to make this happen; however the complexity, scoped targeting, and over-engineering reeks of a state-level actor.

> What the journalists should report and what I should read are separate questions.

The OP was making a statement about what journalists should report on, not what people should choose to read.

Of course anyone can individually choose to not read a repeated story, just like they can choose not to watch the same weather forecast repeatedly.
> The natural response from many people is simply to stop watching, and to get their news elsewhere.

I'm sympathetic to your description of mainstream news (which is a bit of a nebulous term, I must admit; "legacy" might be a better description), but, in my experience, the news you get from "elsewhere" is often unabashedly biased. So, is the fall in popularity of mainstream news a result of the lack of neutrality, or because it's not partisan enough? After all, wildly biased news is wildly popular online and mainstream news has to compete. There's a network effect to that. Social media has made the ability to curate one's newsfeed to a degree of ideological specificity that is pretty incredible. Bias sells.

Personally, I don't think it's "neutrality" or even "bias" that is the issue with most news these days. A lot of news orgs have simply abdicated themselves from the vital role of journalism in a functioning liberal democracy: accountability. Most people follow the news incessantly but actually know next to nothing about what is actually happening in government or politics. All they get in the news is a slice of a soap-opera instead of insight into governance or politicking, backstage where the sausage is actually made and where crime, graft, negligence, corruption, stupidity, and brazen cruelty in the pursuit of power, is endemic by both parties.

Journalism has also become a "status" job that is often only attainable and maintainable as a career by people from elite education or with connections to the industry. You end up with a particular class of people as journalists interacting with politicians or executives or other people from the same class. This leads an effect whenever they try to cover lower class people that is similar to that famous image of Hilary Clinton walking into that small apartment.

Two small things there - not trying to take away from your main point.

(1) This is what Americans would call a "row house", and IIRC in the UK is called "terraced housing", which has the huge benefits for all but the ends of the rows that your side walls (the longest walls of the house) are insulated by ... your neighbor's house. So, although the architectural features you mention are indeed drawbacks, their impact is significantly reduced by being in a row of connected houses. It's the single-family/full-detached houses that suffer from these problems more fully.

(2) I don't see the L-shape at all.
Rhetoric is saying it so they hear what you actually said…parsing it…

What I’m hearing is disconnected from reality in that paid software pays the developers, whereas free software depends on the passion of the developers.

Often projects just stop cold because nobody wants to work on it.

If there’s demand and they will pay, that is less likely to happen.

Tell us what your question is driving at.
It is also rather obvious that companies are allowed to defend themselves. "Trust" is irrelevant here -- this is a court case about facts.

And your Google Play example isn't analogous, because this isn't about "device series", it's about operating systems. Samsung and Pixel phones have the same OS and generally share the same set of installable apps.

I'm not saying Apple's argument is necessarily going to win. I'm just saying that it's not "silly" -- we shouldn't dismiss it like that. Because this isn't about some "common sense" idea of what constitutes a store in consumer's eyes, it's about how this particular law defines a store, for the purposes of this law only, in technical terms.
We are in agreement, I think you must just be misinterpreting my comments.

The US used to have insane manufacturing skill and logistics, but has since moved past it, especially in the last 30ish years. The US is now a fully fledged advanced economy, and likewise is primarily focused on high margin/high skilled service work.

China will likely move away from manufacturing too if it moves into advanced economy territory, at which point some other agricultural economy will start their foray into manufacturing, and sell to China for cheap.

This is how economies work. It's unprecedented for an advanced economy to bring back emerging economy manufacturing, it's experimental and untested for sure.
The internet is a lonely place, all these substitutes for in person communication and interaction fail and will always fail. It's why we're more connected and more lonely than ever. Sure you can now find that person halfway around the world that agrees with you on some esoteric topic you care about, but that's not a real relationship.
That’s not quite true, lots of other businesses don’t care about you insofar as you’re a paying customer, they care about insofar as you are eyeballs for their actual customers.

Apple’s business model is mostly: give money, get services and devices. That they are able to sell this as a nice special plus is a huge indictment of the computer and OS market.
Absolutely, but not-for-profit and for-profit have substantially different starting levels of bias.

That not-for-profit still needs to guard against it isn't a reason that we can't immediately improve on the low bar that is for-profit news.

> Balanced commentary.

This perception of a dichotomy in news is a brain worm that needs to be excised from everyone's mind.

What's the "balanced" commentary for something like the JFK assassination, for example?

LHO was the lone gunman who shot the president because LHO was a communist.
LHO was the lone gunman who shot the president because LHO was crazy.
LHO was the lone gunman who shot the president because the CIA paid him to (and then killed him).
LHO was a patsie and the president was shot by a second gunman from the grassy knoll because the CIA wanted to invade Cuba.

Off the top of my head those are the stories that would need "balanced commentary".

News organization don't need to be unbiased and they don't need to be balanced. What they need is a to stop catering to rabid political fanbases who've got involved in the team sport of politics not out of some sense of civic duty to their fellow man but out of loneliness and a need to belong[1]. News organizations are the mirror reflecting us, not the other way around.

> The law was written in a certain technical way, and what's relevant here is whether it counts as 1 or 5 stores according to the law.
It's the same way you could claim Amazon is 1 store, or 58 stores (1 for each country) or 2.5 million stores (for each third-party seller).

IMO this culture of "Rules Lawyering" and being technically correct is one of the reasons why everything is so shitty and why companies always seem to get away with bad behavior in the US. This is the corporate version of a six year old waving his hands 2 millimeters in front of his sister's face saying "I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you!"

Yes, the marketing material is totally irrelevant and should be considered fiction, but I would hope that a judge would look at the actual end-user experience is in totality, rather than accepting some silliness like "look, it's 5 different IP addresses, so ackshually it's 5 different stores!" or whatever the technicality-driven argument will be.
This has been happening since the day Musk took over Twitter (here's one from December 2022 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/15/technology/twitter-suspen...). There are always people (including a large chunk on HN itself) who will come up with more and more elaborate excuses for his purges and maintain that he is all about free speech and neutrality. I'm sure same will happen for this one.

Edit: as expected, this post has been flagged.

> The company in its argument to the EU competition enforcer said it operates five App Stores on iPhones, iPads, Mac computers, Apple TVs and Apple Watches, with each designed to distribute apps for a specific operating system and Apple device.

With a straight face they said this, or were they stifling a laugh? If they all say Apple on them, and all the money goes to the same place, and users share an account, and the payment processing is the same, and the same dude is running all of them, and... come on.
Drones don't make advanced tech useless, but sure as hell they make land attacks extremely bloody.

The Ukrainians are skilled soldiers, at that moment with a lot more practice than anyone else in the Western world; yet they cannot flush the mobiks out of their dugouts. Same in the opposite direction.

The Houthis are now holding world trade hostage with similar drones and rockets. I would certainly like to see them defeated by the US military might, if only as a reassurance that a tribal army in sandals cannot dictate conditions to the rest of the world. But I am far from certain if it is possible. Air Force is a huge hammer and such drone teams are small midgets in a desert.

There was a time when the news arm of networks and local TV was a loss center, and supported by revenue generated from other content, like prime time TV. At some point the businesses decided that news should turn a profit, and that was the beginning of the end. Even for newspapers, the majority of the profitable sections were sports and leisure, the hard news section was never expected to run in the green. Combined with Facebook and Google eating all the ad dollars, networks and news outlets couldn't sustain a news organization by any means.

I can't answer your initial question, but I do like to pile onto the package management points.

Package consumption sucks so bad, since the sensible way of using are virtual envs where you copy all dependencies. Then for freezing venvs or dumping package versions, so you can port your project to a different system, doesn't consider only packages actually used/imported in code, but it just dumps everything in the venv. The fact you need external tools for this is frustrating.

Then there is package creation. Legacy vs modern approach, cryptic __init__ files, multiple packaging backends, endless sections in pyproject.toml, manually specifying dependencies and dev-dependencies, convoluted ways of getting package metadata actually in code without having it in two places (such as CLI programs with --version).

Cross compilation really would be a nice feature to simply distribute a single file executable. I haven' tested it, but a Linux system with Wine should in theory be capable of "cross" compiling between Linux and Windows.

Still, like you, as a beginning I would prefer a sensible package management and package creation process.
RE: "Distributed SQL offers elasticity (no downtime resize"). I'm not sure this is as much of an advantage of distributed databases vs single host databases anymore. Some of the tech to move virtual machines between machines quickly (without dropping TCP connections) is pretty neat. Neon has a blog post about it here[1]. Aurora Serverless V2 does the same thing (but I can't find a detailed technical blog post talking about how it works). Your still limited by "one big host" but its no longer as big of a deal to scale your compute up/down within that limit.

I had to read The Design of Everyday Things in college and was nodding along the whole time: yes, of course, this is so simple! It feels like common sense, but it is good to see it written out so plainly. It should be required reading for anyone creative, i.e., anyone who might create something, anything.

I get why some commercial websites fall into dark patterns (it's because they want your money). I get that years of iterations can make old software feel clunky. I just can't believe how poorly designed some new internal business applications are, even with how easy modern low code application platforms make designing interfaces/processes.
It was always pretty transparent what "free speech" meant to Elon (and many others like him). It means "I personally should be able to say and do whatever I want without consequences".

There are rumors AMD won't do high end cards anymore. So 7900xtx becomes the last one to compete with NVidia on that front.

Honestly, after owning 7900xtx for one year, I find it difficult to saturate it with tasks. I only play non-graphics heavy games like rimworld or aoe2de. Sometimes I play Hogwards Legacy with my partner, and the performance there is not the highest imaginable. But I read online that is because the game is not well optimized. Perhaps, you don't even need more powerfull graphics, since games are oriented at mid-market anyways.

Personally, I would say NAND-to-Tetris is a (great) freely available learning resource for people looking to actively learn more about computers and digital logic from the ground up. It is mostly structured like a course you would take and the game it leads up to is a means to an end.

Turing complete on the other hand is a more playful approach that guides you through the individual steps (though it still requires you to look up quite a lot of things on your own) with a little story and provides more smaller challenges instead of just one big end goal. In addition to that, it features a relatively powerful sandbox that allows you to interact with things and there's a scoring system for complexity and runtime for all your little solutions that gives it a small competitive side.

I wouldn't say one is better than the other. NAND-to-Tetris is a learning resource with a game in it and Turing Complete is a game with learning resources and a sandbox in it.
New runtimes like NodeJS have expanded JS beyond web, and JS's syntax has improved the past several years. But before that happened, Python on its own was way easier for non-web scripts, web servers, and math/science/ML/etc. Optimized native libs and ecosystems for those things got built a lot earlier around Python, in some cases before NodeJS even existed.

Python's syntax is still nicer for mathy stuff, to the point where I'd go into job coding interviews using Python despite having used more JS lately. And I'm comparing to JS because it's the closest thing, while others like Java are/were far more cumbersome for these uses.

Of course it's good to bring electricity to those who lack it and want it.

But if that program ever gets so big that using any excess to mine crypto is a major use-case for crypto, then such programs have achieved a scale that rather than mining crypto with the excess everyone would be much better off, and sufficient scale would have been achieved that it would be more feasible & beneficial to develop better methods of excess-energy-storage

I.e., better at scale to [increase total energy availability] than to [mine crypto].
