You aren't giving anything to anyone

i was referring to the citizens as a whole deciding that money should be taken from the rich and be given to the government for good use.

and i am not talking about current or past governments but about the future. as obviously the idea of limiting wealth is talking about the future too.

it should be clear that implementing this requires a government that can make good use of those funds.

governments can change, and they need to change in order for this measure to be successful.

this article needs a followup to address two points:

what kind of government do we need in order to make good use of that money?

what will the actual effect be of a limit? because the reality will not be that the government will continue to get lots of money, but those people who have reached their limit will stop accumulating money, which will change economics and leave money more distributed without the government getting all that much.

Honest question: how do we know for sure it's not CG?
tbf, I've always found apple commercials cringy af. And I can understand a bit of a visceral reaction to the message, but I don't see such over-the-topness with other crap such as AI content spam, music etc.

But the response seems outsized. it just seems like bullshit. I think most of these reactions are not genuine, just all aboard the rage-train!

Or maybe they are all just jealous because they can't afford apple products ;-)
I also noticed that. 95% F# too.
Go countryside, they said, it'll be quiet.

Except for: tractors, harvesters, mopeds, quadbikes, chainsaws, circular saws, nailguns, lawnmowers, leafblowers, snowblowers, diesel generators, motorboats, skijets, snowmobiles.

>near shoring companies in Mexico and further south that can provide you lower wage engineers but that work in your timezone

Time zone is not a big road block. Some devs in EE will accept to work in the evening to overlap with the US time, because they get paid 2x-3x the local take-home market rate, so it makes it worth their while.

Obviously it's easier timing wise for those on the Latin American continent, but mucho dinero is a good motivator for everyone, especially if they also happen to be night owls.
Silly press going after "engagement".

This is a 20 year old plane and the maintenance isn't Boeing's fault until proof to the contrary.

Nice conspiracy theory though: maybe Boeing is sponsoring the coverage for all these old airframes having accidents so people like me will point out it's probably not their fault and thus inadvertently cover up the incidents that are Boeing's fault...
>The stock market is just a giant machine that pulls money out of systems.

So you think the multi-trillion dollar stock market, consisting of thousands of global companies, has no use beyond "pulling money out of systems"? Weird.
You post on /r/nyc don't you?

I lived in NYC for 20 years, people who live there too long develop stockholm syndrome excusing the shit that goes on on a daily basis. Every new yorker experiences it given enough time.

The common saying is that when a 'transplant' moves and starts questioning the filfth, noise, qol issues and minor crime they are told to go back to Ohio.

I used to be that person , then I realized that living in an environment where you excuse this behavior as normal... is not normal.

So you can spread your message of "statistically safe" as much as you want but everyone knows that new yorkers put up with a different amount of s*t than most.
Would like to see the exact models and price tags and understand what you think I can't afford.

Same problem. I mean not-paper-straws. Like an alternative of plastics that is simply superior.

I have experienced that for a brief time. No idea how good it was.
Saying "it takes a hundred images for a human to learn" implies that you can take a baby/toddler/whatever, who has been blind all their life, restore their sight, show them 100 photos of dogs and cats, and expect them to know what's what.

You're ignoring the trillions of frames a toddler has seen before they get to the part where they can even understand what a photo is.

How do you even come to the conclusion that I don't like Apple products?
I have a phone, watch and computer from them. It's not like I hate the products.

I have very specific reasons to be annoyed but they are far too many to list them all in a simple post. I was working with and buying Apple stuff before the turn of the millenium and I have worked as an Apple technician and helped way more Apple users than I could care to list.
This is my experience and your comment precisely illustrates that.

My comment was about the delusion of privacy first marketing bullshit that they came up with to excuse the limitations of some of their stuff.

But since Apple can't do anything wrong, we are not going anywhere. Whatever, keep on believing.

> Reversed: How does one get through daily life _not_ feeling so strongly about things?

You didn’t reverse the question. No one is advocating not having strong feelings about anything. The correct reverse would be “how do those of you who don’t feel strongly about this ad get through daily life?”.

The answer to that is “by not entering a state of frenzied stress about every inconsequential thing and being mindful of the battles worth fighting”. There is a finite amount of things you can feel strongly for in your life, and I do think this ad is incredibly minor.

No one is going to remember or talk about this in a week, regardless of if Apple had apologised or not. If only we could’ve had all this outrage and media attention about something which truly matters and is urgent to all humans (like, say, climate change) that would’ve been swell. Now that would’ve been empathetic, shown a care about broader things, and be considerate of life.

Much more!
Yeah, I had the same impression (admittedly I was already slightly biased once I saw the ad). On a very deep level it shows, that there is some serious lack in core understanding why Apple is useful in the world. How anyone at Apple can see a destructive thing in an ad and say "Yep, that's us" is just beyond me

> Following this logic, how do you feel about automated tests? Without those, there'd be a much larger market for manual testers then there is currently..

This is a great example

With automated tests, Manual QA positions are cut. Now the responsibility to write those tests falls on developers. Sometimes, rarely, there are automation QA people, but most places the tests are written by the devs in my experience

So the company is saving money on a bunch of salaries, the company captures the increased productivity that automated tests offer, executives get bigger bonuses, the investors get a nice bump, the individuals who now have extra responsibility get nothing

Maybe the overall developer market gets a higher salary, eventually, if you believe in the trickle down effect

> but you also want an equal share to those who have both put in work and taken on risk to create the company you work for

I don't expect to earn an equal share, but I do expect to benefit when the company does. This is more and more rare

> Which all kinda sounds like what you actually want is UBI, but only for you and your friends

You could not be further from the truth. People work harder for a smaller share every day. I just want that share to start growing, or at least stop shrinking.

I suppose yeah, failing that then I want to not to have to work as hard. I want some benefit from all of this so called productivity, instead of all of that going to rich people who lecture me about how much "risk" they take gambling some percent of their net worth that is more than I have made in my lifetime
AI is not supposed to resemble a human mind. It's just supposed to be useful to us.
AVHerald is always the best source. The only problem is they publish the complete accident reports months or years later when they're actually ready. And by then the "engagement" crowd has stopped caring.
I wondered that, but go and watch it. Absolutely no way anyone is modelling all that in CG. It's 100% not CG.

Also if it was CG Apple would have immediately said that.
Show HN: Fig. – a drawing app where every pixel has a lifespan
I made a drawing app where every pixel has a lifespan and eventually dies.

The goal: help you focus on the process of drawing without obsessing with the end result.

In that sense, it's a bit similar to [Ensō](https://enso.sonnet.io) or [Sit](https://sit.sonnet.io).

(also it has hackable, programmable brushes and a trippy geocities-eque gradients)

Motivated by a dead fig tree in my garden, and partially inspired by this poem by my brother’s 3yo daughter:

Little ducklings walked

then they fell

and they died.

You can read more about why I made it and how to play with its programmable brushes here:

WFH feels like such an obvious competitive advantage it's surprising to me that so many founders want in office teams.
Great ad. The part where the little stress ball rolls out and gets crushed was a good laugh. I wonder if this was CGI or if they really crushed that stuff.
Isn't that the plan for virtually anyone that gives business advice? Jordan Belfort has likely made more with paid appearances than he ever made in the stock market.

There's some guy on YouTube I watched who does gold mining by hand on property you can either buy or lease. There's apparently still tiny amounts of gold near the surface in high enough purity for it to be possible. He does in fact extract and sell small amounts of gold. I imagine his book he wrote about doing this makes him more money than he ever could make mining gold.
Apple shouldn't have apologized for its iPad Pro 'Crush' ad – Macworld
Looks like someone watched too much of those hydraulic press vs things videos. Of all the ways to send the message that iPad is a creative device, which can become the instrument of choice, they went with this.
I use this, it's pretty good. Largely abandoned for new features and much needed quality of life improvements. But it works! I use it for managing files in websites that live inside docker containers.
It was also edgy because the company CEO was a barefoot hippie who got fired from stodgy HP for, among other things, poor hygiene.

Apple today is the one size fits all megacorp the 1984 ad railed against.

> The reaction to this ad reflects a pernicious societal descent into relying on emotion

Spoiler alert: humans have emotions. Apple will gladly spit in your face about emissions all while giving you less product (taking chargers out of iPhones) so they can save the environment (more like, their profits). Not everyone wants to see the message of hundreds of years of art history being destroyed all so you can purchase new product to make some soulless AI generated garbage.
I don't know actual currency value but relative to their area, good. Just my experience working with these companies along with having friends there.
Nice idea. I love how you manage to show the shapes of the design. But how do you know the size of the finished object? I assume you ask knitters to do the calculations themselves. That can be difficult (for me it was until I put words on it).

Being a long time knitter and also a designer (not a professional designer, but just someone that likes to design her own patterns and doesn't like to follow other patterns), I did several knitting tools using LibreOffice Calc (may be you can call that "old school"), you can download them here: https://www.aiguilles-magiques.com/-Outilsde-creation-?lang=... Sorry but they are mainly in French. Well, the sweater calculator is in English too.

For these tools, I just ask the knitter to enter the gauge and, yes, all the necessary measurements. The sheets make all the maths. Obviously there are way perfectible, and they don't show the shape of the finished as you did for your tool (notice the picture on y tools were made with Inkscape).

All this tools are under licence CC by-sa.

> destroying a few objects for an ad is like spitting in the ocean in the scheme of things

Yeah I think the biggest lesson from this is that people don't understand the amount of resources it takes to build an iPad.

Another example: Apple removing the stickers because they're plastic. A tiny tiny bit of plastic. Probably 0.001% of the plastic used in the production of an Apple device but people think it's significant because they can see it, and all the other plastic is hidden behind closed doors.
Not sure why you're being downvoted for advocating for spidermen.
One more opinion in the mix. I grew up in extreme poverty as a child who also happened to have a keen interest in music. I could never develop this keen interest because of course, the cost of instruments was too much for my mom to handle.

That same kid also got to watch Pete Townsend (and others) get superstar status, while breaking instruments during a performance. It was heartbreaking to me that he didn't just donate those instruments to disadvantaged kids and still bothers me today.

So, while I understand the intention of the ad, when you couple that, with Apple products being too pricey for a lot of people, yeah, it bothered me.
Sure some devs do it. But there are large companies across Mexico and South America that have a huge number of willing and able devs within the same time zone. This means you can easily supplement your existing dev teams with individuals in the same time zone. Time zone matters when you are wanting devs to be part of your existing teams.

Moin! Congratulations on what looks to be a great deal of work for a solo developer.

Whilst you might see some kickback here, I personally think it’s quite brave to take something like version control that has such a large established user base with git and say, I can do better.

Also nice to see this being written in .NET. It’s just so fast these days and multi-platform. If you’re looking for inspiration for the various clients, I recommend the open source BitWarden project. I’ve learnt a lot from that.

Doom Scroll – Front End Conf 2024 Demo
Actually what’s great about it is that the tone is the exact opposite of the famous commercial where the individualist shatters the mind control movie. However they both share this soulless concrete aesthetic. Apple is now the soulless corporate machine. Love to see Apple fail and not realize it’s own failure, that is modern Apple.
Personally, I liked everything about the ad.
Depends on if you are on the receiving end of their ire (ie. Minorities and non-Christians)
It's a home with home amenities like an actual kitchen, a washer dryer, bedrooms. Getting a couple of hotel rooms for a bunch of friends or coworkers or a family is less cohesive so some actually prefer an AirBnB despite the downsides. Hotels with proper suites are competitive, but, say, for a small scrappy startup visiting town for a conference where they're sharing a car and meals and need to coordinate gear, an AirBnB is simply better.
> I strongly disliked the ad. I also get through my days just fine.

Same here. And besides disliking the ad myself, I imagined that many other people would dislike it too. I also wondered how on earth it could have gotten the go sign within Apple. From the outside, at least, Apple looks like the epitome of a cautious, deliberate company. I would have thought there would have been plenty of stages in the approval process where it would have been shot down.
Does GNOME's new RDP server get us any closer to this dream?
Never said anything to the contrary. There is lots of artwork I don’t like and I am happy to express an opinion or critique when asked. I am not morally outraged about it though.
> And the ad confirms that their fears were warranted.

My point is that they shaped the world like this by short-sightedness, and this same short-sightedness make them critizes the ad, instead of realizing what they have done.
> For that matter Russia made it clear that Ukraine in NATO was a redline since basically forever. An interesting aside is that that cable was written by William Burns, current head of the CIA who was, at the time, the US diplomat to Russia. Well we moved ahead to include Ukraine in NATO, and here we are.

That is not what happened. Ukraine and Georgia applied for NATO membership in 2008, but at Russian pressure, got denied. This left them without allies and allowed Russia to invade both without triggering mutual defense clauses. Burns got played. He has changed his mind since then and now argues for military aid for Ukraine, and warns about even wider war should Ukraine fall.

> Now France and others are claiming they must stop Russia, implicitly even if means World War 3, because the idea of Russia being able to set military and missiles within rapid striking range (on the territory of Ukraine) would be a tremendous threat to their national security. That is reasonable and true, and it is literally the exact same thing that Russia was saying when calling Ukraine in NATO a redline.

The threat is not "missiles within rapid striking range", because Russia already has nuclear missiles in Kaliningrad in the middle of the EU, closer to France than any point in Ukraine. The threat is Russia rolling over Ukraine and conscripting millions of Ukrainians into invading Poland, like they have conscripted Ukrainians from territories occupied in 2014 into fighting against Ukraine. It is better to stop Russians in Ukraine in already established battlefield than to see the war spread into the EU.
