> Sure the average selling price of an iPhone is $500 more than an Android.

The only honest way of comparing Android to iPhone pricing, in my opinion, is to compare flagships.

The S24 and the Pixel 9 are the exact same price as the iPhone 16. The S24+ is more expensive than the iPhone 16 Pro.
a best of both worlds solution might be to have a Rails web app and Python services. Of course if you like Django/Python better anyway, then just use those.

Glad to see Rails is looking better than ever! I've been supporting a few Rails web apps since the Rails 2.3 days -almost 12 years- and today's rails is quite different, like a fully evolved Pokémon. Thankfully the comprehensive Rails Upgrade Guides are solid and well documented. It was manageable to upgrade my apps one version at a time over the years without a major refactor. Rails embraces new developments in web tech, so it's never been backwards compatible, but at least their changes are well documented. ActiveStorage was a huge improvement over the 3rd party gems for file attachments, and came with cloud provider support. The toughest lift was the migration to Webpacker from Bundler for the javascript stuff, which we only finally did a couple years ago. But now it looks like that is all behind us with Import Maps support. I'm looking forward to upgrading these apps once again to 8.1 this year.

While I agree with your larger point, I just wanted to point out some inaccuracies

> Sure the average selling price of an iPhone is $500 more than an Android

FWIW this is only true if you’re not comparing within market segments.

If you stick to the same market segment, then they’re about on par with equivalent Android phones for price. They just don’t have anything in the real budget categories.

> The iPhone especially in America is a unique case

The iPhone market share is relative to the premium phone market share of most locations. Which in turn is relative to the spending power of the populations.

iPhones dominate the premium market share compared to Android. I’m actually curious what the Mac market share is when framed to just “premium devices, and non-gaming”.

I suspect, but cannot backup, that Macs do relatively well if constrained to that market. But most people who have premium computers do so for gaming, and the ones who want budget don’t have a Mac to cater to them.

I rant about rails, often, but this is just a full on garbage comment. Your evidence is "all of the rails apps stuck"... where exactly? like... you have a listing of these? Or are you just making things up?

I've done a ton of rails upgrades in my career, they've all been easier than any other framework (except the current batch of js/ts frameworks that use codemods to update the majority of breaking changes).

DHH has been making some pretty wild changes with non-Ruby parts of Rails, but Rails 8 still fully supports sprockets, their asset pipeline introduced 15 years ago. All of the other asset pipeline alternatives are still supported, even though Rails introduced "Propshaft" as a replacement.

The only thing we've had trouble with upgrading has been when Rails added full support for read/write shards... it wasn't fully compatible with Aurora Serverless at launch, but we had wanted to migrate off that anyways.

So.... try adding some signal instead of just noise. Cite specific issues, rather than just try to ride a bandwagon.

A 10.01-pound bag of fluffy cotton is heavier than a 9.99-pound bag of steel ingots. Despite the significant difference in density and volume between steel and cotton, the weights provided clearly indicate that the cotton bag has a greater mass.

Fluffy cotton: 10.01 pounds
Conclusion: The 10.01-pound bag of cotton is heavier.
I got one of the first batches of the 13", been using since 2021. It's on track to last as long as my old thinkpad from 2014. The screen chassis got seriously dented and I was able to fix it without replacing the entire laptop (the replacement part costs 99 dollars). The only thing that isn't great is the battery life and the fans can be super loud. I like the keyboard and trackpad fine. The replaceable ports a kind of a gimmick I'd say, but doesn't really hurt anything other than I have to carry some around if I need them. I'd buy it again.

We then walked the ocean cliff trail at nearby Devil’s Slide Trail and saw whales for the first time in our lives. Multiple whales surfacing in the same area for eternity it seemed. We gave up and kept walking, and saw more whales a half mile away! Walked back and then again saw the original group still surfacing in the same spot! Amazing nature in that area. Spoke with our friend that lives 30 mins away and they’d never seen a whale there.

Voting is like defending a trench. It needs to be done, but the war is won elsewhere.

At the state and local level, you can get engaged, but you need for forge relationships to be effective. That means time and some amount of money.

I have a few state people whom I can talk to easily, mostly through people I know who lobby for a living. I don’t have the time to nurture a direct relationship. Relationships mean you speak or text a few times a month, meet up a few times a year. 3/4 times you should not talk business. Lobbyists are easier than politicians unless your interests align tightly. People in politics crave friends.

If that sounds awful - that’s ok. Joining an advocacy organization and contributing that way is important and less time consuming.

> And then again, if you end up being the leader of the group... maybe you are the one doing to the others what you were trying to avoid. In my experience, those people always genuinely believe they are loved and admired, even if the first thing employees do when they have beers "privately" is complain about how much they hate those leaders.

I don't have enough data points, but I suspect that trying to nurture honest communication and trust can help you avoid this outcome. (I've been blessed to have had a few managers who I'd still trust to be honest and smart, and to look out for me as an employee/person.)

Though, I suppose you can still do months/years of trust-building and working together well, and then one day you invoke your authority, to make a call that people really don't understand/agree with. Maybe you spoiled the trust so much, that, in one minute, people revert to the default dynamic that they learned all through schooling and at other jobs: tiptoeing around someone who is in authority. Then they stop giving you candid feedback, so you diverge more, and then their outlet is to complain about you.
I'll add to this: for truly egregious or prolific abusers (spam, misbehaviour, etc.), both flag and then email the mods at hn@ycombinator.com

(You don't need to do this for garden-variety stuff, but if you see something going above and beyond, it can help.)

I've done this many, many, many times, on all manner of issues. Dang almost always responds within an hour or so, rarely more than a day. Quite often the issue's already been dealt with, either automatically (HN's more complex than it appears), or by mod intervention. Occasionally (and increasingly since I've tightened my own criteria for reporting) I seem to be reporting unrecognised abuse. That's not because the abuse is more common, but because I'm reporting issues less frequently and after additional checks, e.g., looking for previous mod admonisments.

You can check for this past history using the "replies" endpoint, which can show where a particular profile's had direct responses from dang. For myself, e.g.:

https://news.ycombinator.com/replies?id=dredmorbius&by=dang

Keep reports brief and specific. Link directly to relevant content or profile(s) within the body. If you're reporting on content, include the content ID in the email subject as this apparently makes processing reports much easier.

E.g., the content ID for dang's comment above, URL:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42570159

Is "42570159" (the digits at the end of the URL).

You'll find similar contentIDs on all submissions and comments.

Tokenization?

I mean that ChatGPT had no questions about the container of the gas (does it have weight? is it tared out?) or about buoyancy. And it’s really rather sad that ChatGPT calculated the volume of air at atmospheric temperature and pressure and didn’t notice that it was nowhere near fitting into its supposed container. (At least 1.01lb of liquid nitrogen would fit.)
For what it’s worth, I asked it the following:

Q:

Which weighs more on earth: 100kg of steel or a 100kg polystyrene ball? Be as technically correct as possible

A:
Technically, 100 kg of steel and 100 kg of polystyrene weigh the same on Earth when measured on a scale, as they both experience the same gravitational force due to their equal mass. However, there are some nuances to consider:

Buoyancy Effect

Earth’s atmosphere exerts an upward buoyant force on objects, proportional to the volume of the object and the density of the surrounding air. Since polystyrene has a much lower density than steel, a 100 kg polystyrene ball will have a significantly larger volume and experience a greater buoyant force compared to 100 kg of steel.

As a result:
• Effective weight (apparent weight): The steel will weigh slightly more than the polystyrene on a scale because the buoyant force acting on the polystyrene reduces its apparent weight more.

Actual Weight

Weight is the gravitational force on an object and is given by:

Where and . Without considering buoyancy, both objects have the same weight of approximately (newtons).

Conclusion
• True weight (in a vacuum): Both are identical at 981 N.
• Apparent weight (in air): Steel is slightly heavier due to reduced buoyant force acting on it compared to the polystyrene ball.
Interesting seeing the death of blockchain-based AWS QLDB mentioned.

I worked at a company for a while that used QLDB as the primary system of record. The idea is great but the problem is that due to performance and other QLDB limitations all data had to be mirrored to an RDBMS via a streaming/queuing system, and there always were programmatic errors in interpreting data arriving for import into the RDBMS ... text field too long for RDBMS field; wrong data type or overflowing integer; invalid text encoding; ... Etc. These errors had to be noticed, debugged, fixed, and data had to be re-streamed. In the meantime official transactions were missing from the RDBMS side, which was used for reporting, driving the UI, deriving monetary obligations, etc. it was not worth the trouble. (I was lucky to not be involved in that design or implementation.)

Simpler solution. Any company that wants to sponsor H1B must pay to the IRS an annual tax equivalent to 150% of the worker’s salary. When the temporary visa expires, if the company can prove the worker left the US and is now in his country of origin, the IRS will return half of the tax it collected.

I accidentally typed 'npm install axioss' (extra s typo) this morning.

When it successfully installed, it was terrifying to think that all source code, private files were instantly shared with malicious actors. Not only that, there was the prospect of having to somehow wipe and ensure all files were clean, reinstall the OS, and the possibility of some bootloader remnant still lurking.

In this case, it seems that a security package had replaced a previous malicious package, making this instance benign. But it feels like I am only one typo away from an absolute catastrophe every time I install a package.
