I don't understand how anyone could separate their personal ideology from their work unless they happened to mostly align already. I might disagree with a person's ideology, but I can only agree with a person who believes their ideology ought to inform everything about their life, including their work. What other use is an ideology if it doesn't compel you to change the world or, at the very least, yourself, despite resistance from the world?

So because a tool doesn't fix everything it's best not to use it? Each tool has its place, its uses and their limitations. You buy a car even if it doesn't cook you food. If you have multiprocess algorithms, distributed systems or concurrency at all, TLA+ is a lifesaver to understand and fix fundamental issues in your system, if you care about a broken shader, it's just not your tool. When there is a bug you can discard a whole part of the problems and you can check the implementation against a known specification that works.

I wouldn't think I need to explain this to a professional developer, if you are waiting for the silver bullet that solves all your problems you may as well go take care of goats.
I was watching a travel show about France and in Paris it seems tourists can get confused as to where their ticket is for. They can easily end up on a train in an area their ticket isn't for. You get a 100 Euro fine! And that's an honest mistake not trying to get away without buying a ticket.
A progress meter may not be necessary, but as the article points out if you have comments or an otherwise large footer not associated with the content of the post, the scrollbar can be deceiving.

I'm personally a huge fan of the progress meter (having once thought it was redundant as well) - one other easy addition I didn't see mentioned is an "estimated reading time." Having a ballpark range for how long I should expect to spend with a piece of content greatly increases my chance of engaging with it, and the progress meter creates a tangible representation of that time (and how much of it I have left to finish consuming the content).
Back in the pre-GUI era, I did this with all my posts and comments online. All fully-justified, both margins, without any extra whitespace: just careful choice of words, and occasional (but always normal standard) abbreviations.

It was fun, once practised it barely slowed me down, and when people noticed it blew their minds.

Then along came GUIs and proportional fonts and made it all invisible. :'(
Why would anyone in their right mind discard hundreds/thousands of $ of raw materials in a landfill? In a dead EV, the dead battery is the single most valuable thing for scrap yards to extract. Assuming it is actually dead. Mostly they get a second life in which case they are worth even more.

In any case, EV batteries are already being recycled at pretty high rates.

> Nobody I know wants to do the same for electric vehicles, they are simply too dangerous.

Their loss. Not everybody is that nervous around some simple electronics. Most scrap yard dealers will train up in a hurry as soon as they realize that they have access to a valuable stream of batteries to pass on to re-cyclers who pay good dollars by the kilo. Most clued in owners will actually insist on getting compensated before handing over the valuable wrecked car with batteries included. Worth more than many still functioning old ICE cars.

> I've worked on fossil fuel vehicle EOL for quite a while and a very large amount of recycling happens

If that's the case for relatively worthless things like steel and lead from lead acid batteries, what do you think will happen when scrap yards start processing lithium ion batteries with a way higher kilo price? The obvious of course.
The problem is you have a misunderstanding of what the fee is.

From Apple's perspective it includes the ongoing cost of providing all of the SDKs i.e. CTF.
But how do you avoid duplicating the interface in many places?

We've tried both approaches, declaring the interface in one package and importing it where used but also declaring it directly colocated with the consumer.

Approximately 7% of Apple's worldwide revenue:

It is comparable. Boeing intentionally and criminally withheld information from regulators. They knew that MCAS would not be approved by regulators, intentionally ignored safety and quality concerns, then released it to the public. It was a criminal act which caused the death of hundreds of people and destroyed the reputation of the largest exporter in the US. If the equivalent happened in China there would be severe consequences. The CCP would not tolerate losing the reputation of their largest export industry. China is run by the CCP, not company executives. The executives would be thrown under the bus without hesitation.

It takes a lot of skill on the part of the author - I don't think I'd risk it personally.

But I like the way it's handled on fasterthanli.me enormously - the author there successfully anticipates a lot of my "wait, but..." thoughts and addresses them directly via this mechanism, or, conversely, makes me realise that I ought to have had an objection to the point they're making.
> Nobody I know wants to do the same for electric vehicles, they are simply too dangerous.

Okay? But there are PLENTY of people who are willing to. There are already relatively large EV battery recycling operations up and running. There are already businesses repurposing old EV battery packs for stationary energy storage.

EVs aren't THAT dangerous. You should have safety training to handle their batteries. But relevant safety training is something you need for almost all jobs that are even moderately complex these days. This kind of training is completely routine for all car mechanics in Norway now since 90% of new cars are EVs. I don't see any reason to think car mechanics in other countries are somehow less able to learn these things.

There's no data to indicate that EVs are more dangerous than ICE. There's some risks that are eliminated (gasoline fuel fires, carbon monoxide poisoning) and some new risks (high battery voltage, battery fire). But all-in-all there is no data pointing to more deaths after the share of EVs in Norway hit 90% of car sales (and reaching 20-30% of cars on the road in many areas).

I'm not sure how "estimated reading time" works for non-english speakers.

As for "progress meter" being an optimization of websites with large footers or long lists of comments, I'd argue that a better optimization technique would be to remove the footer, or remove/hide by default list of comments (i.e. make it available with a mouse click somewhere).
This model is not unique to Hermes. Watch and car brands work the same way. Early on in these markets, you can get one of the desirable items without spending too much on undesirable items.

Some examples:

Rolex - stainless steel models are desirable and appreciate, gold models go for below msrp

Porche - Bucking the trend a bit, Porche gives you the option of paying an additional dealer markup rather than making you buy a Macan to get a GT3 RS.

Over time, this arbitrage goes to equilibrium and resellers can’t make money. It is relatively easy to get into this market so naturally it gets flooded. Profit goes to 0. Resellers also carry a risk that the item loses market value while they hold it. The only real winner here is the brand.

Add to that the fact that the App Store only supports certain kinds of payment and subscription formats. Paid major upgrades, volume discounts for apps with IAPs or subscriptions , etc. - not possible at all.

Apple's restrictions are so deep as to dictate the very way we choose to monetize our apps. And all the fearmongering about choosing to publish to an alternative store. It needs to stop.
It's a very big issue for scientific clusters which depend on CentOS, too.

We'll find a way, though.
The scrollbar is not reliable. On Apple platforms, they hide the scrollbar unless you’re scrolling. I think CSS lets us specify that it should be visible on our own pages, but I don’t know how that interacts through browsers to the native behavior.

Not for nothing, but Bankman's exposure was 110 years. He got 25 and that is after a massive public outcry, due to glove treatment resulting in him[2] and his parents[3], apparently, trying to derail investigation. Normally, as I understand it, the system would clamp down on anyone trying to subvert it. So the guy did get a light sentence given the circumstances.

Holmes I had less exposure to so I don't want to rely on just search engine since I am not sure what I am looking for.

I had KGs in mind with automated construction which can improve and converge during training phase.

> Boeing is based on the "Too Big To Fail" idea. I.e. Boeing's deep relationship with government

These are two separate concepts and you’re right, nobody has directly addressed them. Let me try.

Too big to fail “is a theory in banking and finance that asserts that certain corporations, particularly financial institutions, are so large and so interconnected that their failure would be disastrous to the greater economic system, and therefore should be supported by government when they face potential failure” [1]. A key part to it is financial institutions can’t meaningfully go bankrupt—they don’t materially have tangible assets, they just fail. (It’s why bad banks go into receivership.)

Boeing is not a bank. It’s not built almost solely on confidence. It, like the auto manufacturers, can go bankrupt without threatening its production. (GM and Chrysler went bankrupt [2]. Bankruptcy doesn’t mean we raze the factories.)

Put succinctly, Boeing is NOT too big to fail.

It does, however, have a deep and diverse relationship with government. Boeing has, by design, employees in every Congressional district. It’s strategically important to the U.S. and its allies and possesses an industrial-strength wheel greaser.

That broad base of employees protects the plants. But as we’ve already seen, financial failure and even prosecution of senior leadership doesn’t blow up the plants. The strategic importance, meanwhile, is a two-edged sword. Boeing has power because it’s useful. Not only is that usefulness preserved through reörganisation, but if someone can claim it’s increased through it, the usefulness becomes a source of weakness. (Nobody cares if Chik-fil-a is mismanaged. They do when Boeing creates a national embarrassment at the ISS.)

The only part that remains is the wheel greasing [3]. In this, Boeing is far from unique. It’s also unprotective against financial failure. Because, again, the wheels stay on if Boeing is reörganised. That may not be true if it continues on its current path.

Especially as we’re lining up for a potential war in the South China Sea, Boeing’s military-industrial ties may be what forces those who’d prefer to look the other way to stare down the problem. We can’t win that war, if we have to fight it, with Boeing a shitshow. And we’re more likely to have to fight it every time Beijing sees it’s a shitshow.

So yes, Boeing does have a deep relationship with government. But that doesn’t protect it from criminal prosecution or financial failure, and in some cases, may encourage the people pining for its reörganisation.

I remember seeing a video of someones work at a battery factory, and their job was putting out fires. Every 10 minutes or so, one of the batteries on a test/charging station would catch fire, and they had a special set of grippers and fire resistant gloves to pick that battery up and drop it in a bucket of sand.

Sometimes there were so many batteries on fire at once the fire started spreading to neighbouring ones and they couldn't keep up and their bucket (and the spare) got full before they could empty it out.

It was eye-opening...
Scientific clusters have more options though, as Rocky/Alma and other alternatives to RHEL are available without dealing with "this distro does not ship FIPS-140-3 certified crypto" or similar.

If the app you downloaded has an update, does the app not need to be revised again? Why would the revision fee not happen with every update?

Would that not mean developers that update more and get better value for their customers are penalised?

Subscription cuts strikes a happy medium, where apple gets paid when the company gets paid, so if they deliver more features they are not penalised but they are also not allowed to update for free forever (potentially adding malicious code without anyone checking due to only being checked the first time they paid).
