I start taking notes and have endless questions for everyone.

By the end of the first days it is clear to me that most people there, even some veteran product managers have a very incomplete ideas.

By the end of the first few weeks I generally end up being the most knowledgeable person in the team (or at least among the top) because generally most people don't give two damns and are there for the paycheck so I'm reminded of how low the bar is in pretty much any environment.

A nice side effect of my approach is that you end up learning a terrific amount about the other team mates and you force people into questioning their knowledge themselves.

That is stretching the definition of a browser. Superapps enable all the miniapps in them to access the same user data, the history of app interactions (e.g., message history, shopping history), and to integrate closely. Webapps are nowhere close to that.
I maintain a list of similar tools here:

I'm not sure there's a single class of software that's been implemented more times than ngrok-style tunneling. I keep finding more and more.

Honestly it's a really fun exercise. Fairly challenging, but well within the reach of a single developer. I believe I'm currently working on my 5th incarnation.

I don’t think this the case. If anything the US makes life very hard for even high-skilled work-based immigrants. Many countries have a higher % of foreign born residents than the US (Singapore, Australia, Germany, Canada)

I myself used to work at Google UK and my own team was 100% foreign born engineers from every continent.

I know people likely want to join NASA for more than the salary. But that's brutal.
What I'm already seeing is people using this to reduce waste in their home. Not remembering to return things you don't want (and them subsequently collecting dust in your closet or you throwing them out) is enough of a problem for consumers that I think this will net out in less waste.

I tried out Deno+Fresh and Astro. Both are JSX based, but they're not React. And JSX-based things are now starting to offer really compelling features you'd have to glue together yourself or can't do in React directly. The single biggest thing I've really liked about Fresh and Astro is the both allow you to ship vanilla HTML with 0 JS without any effort, as well as easily enabling dynamic island functionality for areas where you do want it without going full blown SPA.

People usually do felonies in an intentionally malicious way. The base punishment should already take care of that.

Think of it this way: If someone on probation intentionally shoplifts, and gets a full punishment for shoplifting, and their probation gets cancelled, how much extra punishment should they get on top of that? I'd say some, but not years. And I don't think the extra a punishment should be a multiplier, I think it should be largely independent of the specific crime. Different amounts for misdemeanor and felony, probably, but neither one should be huge.
When they say break down they just mean even more micro than microplastics right? It’s not truly breaking down right?

I can’t speak for other countries, but the main problem it always loops back to here is housing. People wouldn’t be nearly as angry at asylum seekers, international students and wealthy tech workers if housing demand wasn’t so severely underaddressed at the moment.

Just to give two examples:

- a friend of mine is looking for single-person housing. Subsidized housing appartement have 500-700 people responding to them on each ad

- ASML has started to underwrite a housing project for subsidized housing. Homes created: 130, of which 40 in the subsidized category. Unaddressed demand for subsidized housing in Veldhoven? 25 000. Even with 20 of those projects a year it would take 31 years to address the need..

I have less knowledge of the student housing market, but I assume it is a similar bloodbath.

As far as asylum seekers go, they are a small but significant (~7%) part of the subsidized housing market.

When supply gets that constricted, and you, your elder parents or your kids can’t get any housing, crab mentality takes over. You desperately try to find housing, and any other also-lookers become adversaries.

None of this is the fault of those other people. The Dutch government basically tried to completely neo-liberate our housing market. Predictably, 15 years later it has ended up in absolute tatters, with special thanks to Stef Blok, a gaping asshole that glibly commented “I’m the only politician that can lay claim to having disbanded an entire ministry![1]”

[1] Ministerie van Volkshuisvesting (Housing)

Edit: there is a whole secondary shit sandwich of it having become virtually impossible to get a mortgage ever since the ECB raised interest. But the Dutch government has made having a mortgage financially much more attractive than renting. And our pension funds are deep into the real estate market, meaning the government can’t just decide to build massively to make housing prices implode.

A locked-down MacOS would be awful but at least you’d still have Linux (thanks Asahi).

With an iPhone you are stuck with whatever new decision from Apple with no opt-out. That’s abnormal.

See, I’d be ok to say that Apple can do whatever they want with iOS the day they give me the keys to the boot loader. Until then, they’ll have to assume their role of gatekeeper.

I have no issues with walled gardens as long as you’ve got the key to leave. Here the key to leave is called "throw your $1000 phone to buy another".

Is the history of the Enlightenment's link with eastern concepts documented anywhere?

Clearly Hume uses eastern concepts ("I" am just a bundle of thoughts; causality is just a projection; etc). And the anti-Aristotelianism of the Enlightenment (hostility to concepts such as substantial form) could be seen as eastern too. I'm not sure if this history has ever been documented though.

The Enlightenment is seen as paradigmatically western, and in a way it is, and yet it tried to reject pretty much the entirety of western philosophy that came before it -- perhaps even under eastern influence.

Stuff is never simple, is it?
For a while I've had a question about hotel keycard technology, maybe you can answer.

Essentially every time I've stayed in a hotel with contactless keycards (usually in a group needing 3-5 rooms for 2-3 nights) at least one person has needed to get a keycard reissued.

What's up with that? My workplace's smartcards and my contactless bank cards keep working for years on end.

Anyone care to speculate on how that same court would rule, if a case involved citizens recording the activities of judges or law enforcement officers?
my mental analogy is this.

Say someone produces a reading chair. Now say the company desires to restrict, shape or dictate which books one is allowed to read while sitting in the chair.

One could argue they should have such rights but historically it is quite unusual.

Similarly, if you pay for the chair and put it in your home it is tempting to think you've purchased it and that you own and control it.

The tos could state that the company may at nay time introduce a monthly fee, render the chair unusable or force you to return it without providing a reason.

They may revoke the unisex version and force the user to choose a sex or limit the license to a single user.

It could introduce tools to measure the weight of the user and use that to determine a violation of the single user agreement.

A popular book vendor might require you own one of their competing reading chairs and disallow reading in other chairs.

The company building the house can also grant it self all kinds of privileges. You must buy compatible appliances. They can put some weird connectors on them with some drm logic. np

The only reason not to have such possibly wonderful eco systems imho is that we already have hundreds of thousands of laws and regulations.

If we are to use and make products it should be as simple as possible. Using your weight to check if you are the registered user is not the point to start fixing it. The law should simply state that chair and subscription are separate products.

Google's RCS isn't the standard-RCS. You can't use Google's RCS without using Google's RCS servers and you can't run your own. You can run your own standard RCS, but it's not compatible and does not do the same things either.
The legacy phone system currently enables breathtaking amounts of abuse and fraud. I know all the benefits you're listing, and I would enthusiastically surrender them just to watch the legacy phone system be decommissioned.

If we invented the legacy phone system today, it would be illegal to operate because it's so insecure. We certainly wouldn't dream of forcing everyone to use it.

I make financial decisions based on the value of my pension, which could theoretically go to zero. Yes there's risk, but to not make a decision based on it is another kind of risk.

This is all to skip over the fact that you may have "cashed out" the risky bit back into dollars and, rightly so, think you were very low risk at that point.

The problem is, the people being scammed are convinced what they are doing is necessary. When our system prevents a grandma from buying $500 of iTunes gift cards at Target because it is clearly a scam, they will call our customer support help line and beg us to help them "get their niece out of jail" or whatever bullshit has been fed to them. We literally have to fight them to help them not be scammed.

> The blue background on messages sent between two iMessage users has to be one of the most brilliant vendor lock-in strategies. It is an artificial form of discrimination.

This is, always has been, and will always remain bullshit.

The problem isn't the blue vs green background. It would be the same if the backgrounds were purple and gold, red and gray, or just both blue.

The problem is the different capabilities between SMS and iMessage. And because those capabilities are different, it is useful and productive to communicate that in a clear, but unobtrusive way—like making their message bubbles different colors.

Apple doesn't control the featureset of SMS.
Apple is the old Microsoft but much worse. WinTel PC was so much more open comparing to Apple.
Sure, Apple should jump both feet into whatever shaky tech standard and go to umpteenth lengths to guarantee simultaneous interoperability and compatibility with all of them as they evolve to something workable , forever.

Otherwise if they fail to walk on their own feet it’s not the fault of their stewards and their poor performance. Nope, it’s Apple’s fault for not having helped enough.

I suppose that really depends on where you are in the world and how phones are used. Sending video works over WhatsApp here, and nobody uses anything telco or native for that (so no iMessage, MMS or RCS). Next one down would be FaceBook Messenger and then apps like LINE, Telegram and finally Signal. iMessage, MMS and RCS don't even make the list, including the entire 12 to 70 age range.
Ok, I'll make that change, sorry about that.
