And one of the problems is that it is all intermingled together. For every useful / actionable piece of news there are a 100+ pieces of celebrity gossip, tweet-listicles, marketing PR releases, and irrelevant news pieces.

The news is as if a restaurant served you your meal out of a filled trash can, and then acted surprised that you don't pay. It's not really shocking, is it?
Ought to. They said that potential terrorists talk about terrorism, not ideology. The peaceful left- and right-wingers talk about left- and right-wing ideology but the “potential terrorists” are talking about ways and means.

While I can largely accept this criticism, I’d also like to point out that it might be missing the spirit of a lot of ancient philosophers historical context.
For starters a lot of their books and texts have been lost so we aren’t sure for several what nuance has been lost. Secondarily a lot of that nuance you describe was meant to be explored via shared dialogue (the Socratic method) between pupil and teacher, until a common and nuanced understanding of the topic was achieved, not just studied out of a book, which was enormously expensive and not at all available to most people in the first place.
I’d largely view their teachings as a starting point upon which to build a dialogue and nuanced understanding with a long since dead teacher.
Do you deny that Ukraine has ethnic Russians in its territory? Do you deny that Ukraine has been crushing those Russians because of their dissent and their desire for self-determination?

I don’t expect them to stop fighting invaders. But what I do expect is to engage with their people and their neighbors on these issues in hopes of avoiding war and maintaining territorial integrity. They didn’t. Why I wonder?
SGX was used by video DRM on intel platforms. As SGX no longer exists in modern intel processors, its not really doable anymore. netflix drm and the like are probably done on gpu, not on cpu (but I could be wrong)

It's actually impossible to have a "legal"/commercial 4k bluray setup today on modern PCs/CPUs, as they will only license it to players that can use SGX and as noted SGX no longer exists. (of course this doesn't prevent one from using vlc / libaacs and the like).

This article is deeper than most of the offhand comments so far are
giving it credit for. It's a fair crack at some psychological folklore
about formative experience and motivation, and how that relates to
risk-taking. Oddly I noticed the words "ethics" and "morals" don't
appear in the text. I think they're important to complete the
discussion around drive and its relation to adversity, opportunity,
sense of being an 'outsider', disagreeableness and all that. I think
there are many more similarities between "founders" and
"revolutionaries" than is comfortable to discuss.
I'm sure there's still a large number of people downloading mp3s and other files to permanently store.

It's kind of wild that Palantir would ban Android phones when this was software installed by Verizon. If Apple had installed disabled-but-insecure software on iOS, would it even be discoverable?

That isn't what they mean with risk taking, they want a person who will bet 1 million to make 10 million, then bet 10 million to make 100 million, then bet 100 million to make 1 billion, then bet 1 billion to make 10 billion, then bet 10 billion to make 100 billion and so on.

That is what those founders did, a person who is happy with 1 million dollars is not the kind of founder these people are looking for. Most people would stop after 1 million dollars, you need to find some very crazy risk takers to continue after that.
Looks great! My website has a /life page (https://anandchowdhary.com/life) where I track all my life & health data, including:

- biomarkers, health and fitness data, sleep records

They are all tracked on GitHub as open source JSON APIs: https://github.com/AnandChowdhary/life and built using GitHub Actions.
I mean it might be causing some of Googles problems but the AI stuff is very obviously because their teams are academia-brained as in they have the mind virus that the work is making papers and getting citations not shipping products into the real world and making money.

Google had a decade headstart on several AI unicorns tech and did nothing but write a paper and say "No you can't see the code, no you can't use the model, oh maybe here's a video of it working or at best a Google Labs project that shows a small fraction of its potential in a gimmicky way only available in the US and that stops working after a few months".

Google will forever be playing catchup from now, where they had such a massive headstart.

Nobody suggested markdown isn't meant to be rendered to HTML - that's not in doubt, and it's not relevant to anything being discussed here.

Intuitive has nothing to do with it. Developers will tend to prefer things that make their lives easier. Debuggability is a huge part of that. Tf 1.0 having a static execution graph was a major pain. No wonder people switched to PyTorch and didn’t look back.
Why was this installed on all their devices in the first place? I have nothing to do with Verizon, I've never even been to the US. This is something to worry about because all it takes is someone having access to your unlocked device. For example a border guard demanding to have a look at something. When the user doesn't know this vulnerability exists, it's a problem.

It's a company making remote access software. Who honestly wants this pre-installed on their devices? They can install their malware on their own phones, after having purchased them.

I would add optional 4) for those who like some improvement in life (and who doesn't) - recognize those few important moments/periods when situation comes around that can change rest of your life, or walk towards it and create one yourself. Work hard with it, achieve what you desire to, and come back to more, even better chill.

It can have many forms - which job you take, where you decide to move/settle, partners, family decisions etc.

One random example - I know tons of people from ie high school that could permanently improve their lives if they properly (re)learned a given foreign language. They have plenty of time. But they are too much in their 'comfort' zone to even try, even though they are rarely actually long term happy. Sometimes the effort would be couple of months, sometimes one long afternoon.

Another personal one - moving to a better country. Few challenging months of looking for job on site (which also gave tons of personal growth and mental resilience), accommodation, understanding and adapting to different society etc. and riding the resulting improved situation for rest of my life. Nobody too chill is ever going to wade through that.

One mistake is to start effort and just keep pushing for next challenges and achievements. Eventually everybody hits the wall, physical or mental. It may look great from outside, but thats about it. And a lot of damage in life can be already done at that point.

Maybe if the people running these companies didn't seem to hate their own employees so much they'd get more out of them.

Schmidt is the same one who was campaigning for more tech visas as layoffs were cranking up in 2022 because he thought the Democrats would lost the Senate in midterms (they didn't). Another example of employees watching their bosses treat them like dirt: firing them while actively trying to drive their wages down with cheaper talent.

> All of this led to quite a vicious backlash against me personally, with countless angry comments about and directed at me across YouTube and social media, which included many death threats and threats of violence (although I should be clear that while these threats were numerous and graphic, I doubt any of them were “credible” from a law enforcement standpoint, i. e. I did not have actual reason to fear for my safety).

While I understand how, from the public perspective, you can be despised by the work and influence of powerful individual that can shape collective narrative and "destroy the things you love", I'm always a bit confused about death threats. I get this come from a vocale minority, not the majority of the mob, and maybe linked to a Flanderization of view on a public yet anonymous space that most often than not have no real will to be executed, but still, how you end up being that kind of a person ?
It's hidden from the normal user, isn't it?
The horror of having different companies allowed to set their own rules for how they interact with people. This scenario is how websites and the web as a whole work, it’s how macOS and windows work.

And if you have concerns about privacy or shady business practices (I do too) remember that Facebook, TikTok, and Twitter are allowed on the App Store and get preferential treatment.

The third party I want protecting me from sharing practices isn’t Apple (who is whole unaccountable) it’s the government.
It’s much simpler than a lot of people think. Venture capitalists want the largest returns possible, they do not care about anything else, people, environment, social, nothing. They will pretend to in order to get the returns. Just as they expect you to say anything to win they will also say anything to get the best deal.
More risk = more reward

This isn’t just VCs, it’s capitalism. It shouldn’t be a shock

Just so everyone understands how VC works, when a company announces a round of VC funding what they are really saying is they just sold a percentage of their company for the number in the announcement. You know the capital funding number, you don’t always (often?) know the valuation or the percentage.

If you are any sort of entrepreneur, you’ll understand how difficult this is , it can feel like a deal with the devil for a percentage of your soul.

But again, more risk = more reward

Remember , it’s an old game, startups predated modern VCs, tech, Silicon Valley, all of it. Think outside your current bubble, well written business books back to the 1920s exist. Sometimes simpler examples help, never engage with what you don’t understand.

I only jumped in when I saw your inaccurate, condescending post. I'd hate for people to be misled by your confidence in making a pretty simple English mistake. Context always matters in English and precision matters in technical discussions.

"C/C++" has meaning in some contexts and reveals ignorance when used out of context. The post title here uses it incorrectly, but yes, there are ways to use it correctly. We disagree on that because you can't tell the difference in the two. So it is, but the actual explanation of usage is there for others who do care if they are perceived as non-technical in technical environments.
Oh no, what a blatant hypocrisy.

The West wants liberty and democracy to prevail in the world and doesn't want to lose them, thus they care of their geopolitical interests. Who would have thought!

Socialism, or anarchy. I watched an old Charlie Rose episode with David Graeber. Charlie asked him to define anarchy. It was then that I realized I was a born anarchist. From day one I have validated, questioned, and ignored any authority I could. When people refer to me as their employee, I wretch with disgust. It's really tough to function in our society surrounded by all these sycophants and boot lickers worshiping hierarchy.

See problem, fix problem. Don't bring it to management. They are just going to tell you to fix it and then take the credit. Protesters confuse me, they are appealing to the cause of the problem for help and redress.

It blows me away how people bathe themselves in hierarchy. Its almost like oxygen to them. Of course, many anarchists become authority figures because of their raw affinity for getting shit done without asking for permission to think.
You are describing websites and the state of desktop computing.
We all know what Apple's take is. People complain about it all the time.
The perforative terms you use to describe customers you can't seem to attain are related.

If you describe your desired customer as a cult than you may hold them in too much disdain to achieve a quality product.

Demonizing Apple does not improve product quality in anyway.

Flexbox -> Content first, Layout second.

Grid -> Layout first, Content second.
Speaking as a person that worked on the original Mac OS, the "story" that the OS was originally based on Pascal is not really correct. It was written in Assembly, with the belief that later developers would be using Pascal, and so Apple wrote the developer facing Inside Macintosh with Pascal as the language used for the examples. However, as far as I know no major software houses seriously worked in Pascal on the Mac; C and Assembly were the kings during the 80's and continued with C/C++ during the 90's.
Is there a pre-intro version of this document? I am lost at the Introduction itself and not able to get past it. In particular:

Stuck at what is 'line number' in this context? I tried to force my way through it hoping context would fill it in but immediately got stuck at fractions like '1 / 3' followed by '1 / 4'.
Does it matter if the chicken came before or after the egg?

You have a big tech company, born out of a small piece of Xerox PARC research having found a good way to make it anti-user, you finally be able to sell very cheap computers where users can only touch with fingers, have essentially no control over them, to the point they have no "administrative account" and some apps even refuse to operate if the user have cracked his/her own system to have a root access. Such small devices are essentially just "endpoints" of some remote services, and they are next to useless without those services, they collect gazillion of data and they normally mirror/send them on remote. What you want to do? Offer free 15Gb/user storage without using such data for anything?

You probably have read about car's collected data, sold to insurances, to craft better prices (for the insurance), and you do think smartphones are not used for similar way? You probably read about Google GPS data used by the police to wrongly accused some people "nearby" crime scenes etc and you think all this examples are isolated stuff?

> There is no valid reason why "adtech" is the thing that drives the entire digital universe.

Every phrase that is conveyed/transmitted must be paid for somehow. If not state-funded, journalism must find funding that scales to cover the production costs.

Advertising money is (a) abundant and (b) seeks the broadest possible delivery.

The WWW (e.g. browsers, WWWtech) is an optimal match for ad money.

For decades before, Advertisers and Journalism maintained one another in a state of equilibrium. Journalism cultivated an audience and was gatekeeper of what was "printable" (tolerable to its paying audience); Advertisers were gatekeepers of marketing gimmicks and brand reputation.

These two tensions were complementary. An audience with education and money to spend represented value to journalism; the audience, together with advertising, paid the salaries, business costs, and legal fees of journalism. QED.

But then came WWWtech, which gave Advertisers everything the latter ever wanted: access to motivated spenders, day and night, all the time, everywhere. WWW ads are relatively cheap to produce and fast to market; WWWtech provides a deluge of fascinating facts about the market.

Journalism was jilted. So it reworked its channels.

But good journalism is important to Democracy. People care about their communities, voters do need factual information. There should be astute, principled, critical evaluation of social and economic events, of government policies and corporate activities.

Today, the only ways journalism is surviving (hardly) are through i) funding by the state and subscribers, or ii) by consolidating journalistic brands to deliver monetisable content that is unhitched from stabilising principles.

State funding has risks but may be the most effective option. Otherwise, we see that Anything Goes, as Cole Porter said.

Now the citizens of Democracy itself are struggling to understand why peace, order, good government, and factual information are so hard.

That's because of the fixed cost of making another model of a car. Look at what happened to Stellantis trying to bring Fiat 500: after three years of great sales it started to drop pretty quickly to the point where they sold only 16 in the 2023 [1]. Do they make enough profit from selling 16 (or even 1600) cheap cars to afford compliance with the US regulations (they need to crash several cars to get the NHTSA "stars", that's quite a cost even before the cost of the testing itself), stocking spare parts, training mechanics etc? And this is assuming they can sell just the euro model without any retooling, if they need to make a different model for the US market they also need to keep factories tooled for that, keep ordering parts etc.

I'd argue it's already devolved into human generated slop which provides no functionality without taking on a $10+ month subscription and people already are ignoring it.

Try it yourself, think of something a small app would be good for that task and try to find an app that you're satisfied with and is worth the money it's asking you to use it. You wont be able to.

I feel like flexbox is the float grid system done right, and you can lay out children either vertically or horizontally, whereas floats with the clearfix hack were only laid out as rows. But it's still mostly one-dimensional with possible wrapping, so the trick is to nest and stack. With grids it's different, a grid has a template and then the direct children occupy those predefined areas, which is more static than flexbox and the grid doesn't affect other nested elements, which is a limitation, but subgrid should change that.
