I agree with that. At the individual business decision level.

But relatively fair competition is still a necessary component at the scale of an economy. If we are to retain any approximation of equality, equity and not hamper innovation.

If someone somehow owns the only viable commercial water supply for a city block, they can demand whatever they can get from any business on that block that needs water. And each business should make good decisions for itself in that context.

But if someone owns all the commercial water supply for a city, people are going to take political action to alter the economic equation if it starts leveraging that capability to the general cities detriment.
True.

I am not looking for sympathy. Everyone is advocating for their favored position all the time. X good. Y is bad. We should do Z. We shouldn't do W. Why is my position so much different than everyone else's?

The question is whether I am able to convince anyone, but that is a separate part. I assume since you used word 'lecture', you are not convinced it is an issue worth discussing among your family, friends and peers?

As someone who has been using pgvector for a while and is vaguely curious about alternatives without having the bandwidth to investigate -- is there anything out there that offers truly differentiated advantages over pgvector?

I've found it very effective to remove quick access to sites - bookmarks, browser navbar suggestions, etc. This is the last site I visit on a regular basis - I have a bunch of bookmarks of actually useful things here. I'll watch YT for maybe half an hour at a time, but I repeatedly tell it to never recommend channels that look like clickbait and I am actually feeling like YT is running out of content. I unfollowed everyone and everything on FB years ago and never visit anymore.

Chess would be a more elegant game without the stalemate rule.

(And apparently it would be a more _interesting_ game without castling. At least according to the game that the AIs at Deep Mind played when they trained them on this variant on a whim. Castling was supposed to speed up development of chess, but it favours the defense a lot.

So what the game's appeal wins from castling in cutting out some busy work moves, it loses in attacking spirit.)

I don't think it's necessarily required for an alternative app store itself to be an iOS app, so Google, Microsoft etc. could presumably at the same time be running a (web-based) iOS app store and continue publishing their own apps (Youtube, Gmail, Outlook etc.) via the old terms without a per-install fee.

This is just my very preliminary reading of the terms though, I might be wrong and the two might actually be coupled!
For context, Alberta oil sands have an energy ratio of about 4 to 1, meaning it takes one barrel of oil to produce 4 barrels. The world average is about 17 to 1 with your typical Saudi oil about 40:1. It's difficult to describe what this stuff is like if you haven't seen it. It's essentially a stiff tar that soaked into sand. One of the techniques for refining it (not sure if still used) consisted of importing good oil from the US to dilute it up to a minimum standard so it can be sold. A current technique like mentioned in the article is to heat up the formation with steam until it gets hot enough so that it starts to flow. They use natural gas to heat the steam, so it's essentially a scheme to turn natural gas into oil, but with pollution added to the mix.

What works for monitoring in other basins is obviously insufficient for the oil sands, so it's good to see the federal government funding these sorts of studies. It will likely lead to better monitoring and reporting regulations, but the Alberta government will likely scream that a Trudeau is trying to f** us over once again. The last time in the 80s was plain protectionism, while this is protectionism for a much better reason.

I love my province, but man, are we stupid sometimes.

The oil produced mostly gets shipped to the US, where we sell it at a discount because it's crappy quality. This in turns helps the US pollute more but save dollars in the process. Oil sands oil makes up about 14% of US oil consumption.

If I was dictator of Alberta, I wouldn't do anything to stop production, I would just make a law that any production energy has to come from renewable, non-carbon sources. It would generate a frenzy of research and development that hasn't been seen since the industrial revolution as people pant and salivate at all that money sitting in the ground. :)

I eventually decided I wouldn't work for oil companies any longer. If they want to do it, they'll have to do it without me. It has led me down a fun career path of working for companies I only dreamed about working for when I was in school.

> Privacy controls are not a panacea against abuse by malicious developers

Sure, I never claimed that they were a panacea - just that the majority of privacy controls implemented by iDevices are actually in iOS and not Apple's App Store review process.

Additionally, those privacy controls are more fundamental than those in the App Store. It's more important that the app not be able to toggle the microphone at will than for you to be able to control what it does with that audio after capture.

> Many of the App Store privacy rules relate to what you are allowed to do with the user data after access is granted by the user

That's not an iOS problem, and Apple fundamentally cannot regulate that, App Store or no - after your personal information goes to a third party's servers, Apple has zero visibility into what happens.

This is also not an Apple-specific issue - this happens with Android, Windows, Chrome, and random online websites. Apple cannot and should not be responsible for fixing this - we need a good set of government regulations designed to restrict how your personal data is collected or used. Otherwise, just like you said, an entity (e.g. a bank) can ask for your personal data, then store it, and it gets leaked.
I had some items unlawfully seized by the government. When I asked for them back I got a call from the DA asking if I had any idea where they might be o_O (they found them eventually)
Yes, that's why technical debt is a misnomer.

If you want a financial analogy, you should call it 'technical equity'. From a companies point of view both equity and debt are something you use to finance your business. But equity is only worth something if your company takes off. Similarly, 'technical debt' is only a problem when your software project goes somewhere.

(We are ignoring bankruptcy here.)

I don't know how often unsolicited advice on the internet is helpful. Sometimes a rant is just a rant.

Regardless, I don't exactly see the good faith when saying "well you don't like AI, just find some crusty old phpjobs and take the cut". Which is both over-presumptuous (we don't know the domain they work in) and not very helpful anyway ("old" companies may not be laying off thousands but still aren't exactly throwing jobs out like candy).

>It’s fairly easy to infer his job domain from comments

Even 20 years ago. Web has so many pieces of tech (some that didn't survive) that I wouldn't assume. Could be IT (which no one says because it evolved into its own separate domain. A 2000's IT engineer wouldn't really be doing what SDET or DevOps do today), could be old style vanilla JS website development, could be flash. Or something entirely different.

>He refers to himself as a dev, not as an engineer, and he mentions running numerous websites

Titles don't really mean much. My domain calls people developers, programmers, or engineers as the company sees fit (also, it's awkward to say "game engine engineer"). The terms are almost as flexible as "senior" these days.

The third-party doctrine is a loophole in the fourth amendment.

> The third-party doctrine is a United States legal doctrine that holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties—such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers (ISPs), and e-mail servers—have "no reasonable expectation of privacy" in that information. A lack of privacy protection allows the United States government to obtain information from third parties without a legal warrant and without otherwise complying with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against search and seizure without probable cause and a judicial search warrant.

"turns out people do want a surveillance state"

I don't think that follows. How is wanting a bit of personal security the same as wanting a "surveilance state"?
Why doesn't the original owner pad up the company (cut costs) and sell for more in the first place?
I said: “They want something that reliably gets them from A to B and back, with occasional side trips to C, D and E. They want something that does that in a way that matches their personal style. They want something that isn't going to cost them an arm and a leg to run.”

I did indicate that personal style comes into it, and I don't think that it's not an emotional decision. But there's a reason that Camry, Corolla, and Accord show up in bestselling car lists every year (and similar models elsewhere in the world), and it has nothing to do with "caring about what's under the bonnet".

There is a subset of people who do care about the engine, but they don't do so because they actually know a damned thing about how the engine runs, but because a big engine makes them feel powerful in their oversized pickemup trucks that never carry a load in the bed.

Your assertion that people who buy an iPhone aren't looking at cost for performance is partially correct, but only insofar as most (I mean > 99% of people including people in tech—including myself) wouldn't be able to objectively measure phone performance worth a damn. Anecdotally, I know a number of people who have switched from android devices to iPhones because they see their friends holding onto the same iPhones for years without complaints, yet they can't see the benefit of holding onto their android phones and realize that they may be spending a bit more up front, but are getting more possible useful years of phone updates than had been available in Android until promises made (and several years to see if they are kept) just few months ago.

Yes, I also know people who are enamoured of their Android devices and have their own smugness about what they think that they've gotten over the "sheeple" who buy Apple devices, but most people really don't give a shit about the phone operating system any more than they do about whether the engine in their car is 3, 4 or 6 cylinders (people who by v8s are intentionally buying a v8) or whether it happens to just be a family of hamsters running around underneath—as long as it runs.

Ages ago (2010-2011 I think?), I worked on a tool that exported and packaged text into .epub format. At the time one of the biggest headaches was the lack of good font rendering in ePub readers. Apple's Books app did an okay job, but some of the others just ignored the font settings, _even when an embedded font was packaged in the file_. All the more frustrating when you consider that the text was not English, and the embedded fonts were necessary for properly rendering the code points and not displaying question marks or boxes.

No idea if the available readers have improved, but I'm all for this proposal of a self-contained reader.

Alberta politics today is like Texas in the 1990s. Freedom. Hatred of the national government. Denialism (climate/vaccinations/gravity etc). Pickup trucks. Guns. Oil. If someone says don't do something, a large portion of Albertans will do it out of spite. The only place I've every even heard of rolling coal in Canada was in northern Alberta, home of the oil sands.

Typical example: in BC people turn on their head/taillights in bad weather. In Alberta, heck no. Lights don't come on until legally mandated at sunset. Freedom.

I think you are underestimating how this misinformation will get distributed. You may not fall for an obivous AI post on a spam account, but if you have a trusted news source or individuals you trust, they might end up using AI to help them research and write articles, or get their info from sources who did. Now you are twice or three times removed from the source of the information, and someone you trust is your source. It wasn't even nefarious, it's just how information moves, and AI is now a source for many people.

Maybe you are a hyper diligent fact checker, and the sole originator of carefully considered opinions. Almost no one else is, even the smart people. Political discourse over the past 5 years is proof enough, it is not difficult to influence smart people.

The DMA aims to regulate them to create a more level playing field.
