I mean it ran at a surplus for 30 years until 2009 when boomers started retiring, still has over 3T in assets. How can you claim it's adding to the deficit?

If it's removed and replaced with nothing do you just let old people die in the streets? Or did you want to keep the tax but stop paying out? I don't see how the outcome is different then.

Increase income tax on the wealthy? It's not hard, you used to do it.
Non-Apple users cant contribute to the playlist. No mention on the impact to the shared photo album. If its just a normal shared Photos.app album, non-apple users are locked out there, too.
“Additionally, participants can easily contribute photos and videos to a dedicated Shared Album within each invite to help preserve memories and relive the event.”

This sounds like a great feature. Post event photo sharing is always a bit of a mess.
Many funds do make revenue with share lending. I don't know that there's enough lending to get expenses below zero, at least as of yet, though.

Also, sometimes the lending revenue is just added to the fund, rather than being used to offset expenses. The end result is the same, but the accounting numbers look different.

As a result, when comparing two index funds that track the same index, you should look at actual total returns rather than quoted expense ratios.
You have to hold the fund on the ex-dividend date...

It looks like RPi should be able to handle that.
He's arguing that the military should (when possible) use modified commercial airliners as transport (like the old 747 Cargos) because then they benefit from the economies of commercial scale. Sure, the plane would be customized, but some 50?80? percent of it would be the same as the commercial birds.

And the 747 at least could open the front and rear.

Our tech industry has been undermined way too often with little to no response, including Nortel by the way of Cisco, RIM/Blackberry by Apple, and let’s not forget Avro. We chalk it up with excuses of market pressures and bad management, yet there has always been foreign government pressures that laid or paid for the foundations of collapse. The same with Huawei in a less than silent way for which we played our part into. It’s now more apparent, we were always the foe rather than the friend. Sad

As a written form of "stream of consciousness", it seems to have a lot of value to me. It's noisy, inefficient & meandering -- all the things those polished artifacts are not -- but it's also where you can explore new avenues without worrying about succinctness or completeness. It's like the first draft of a manuscript.
There's some real irony here.

What I'm hearing from my friends - many of whom have helped build and scale some of the most successful tech companies on the planet - is that no engineer is an exceptional one without a modicum of ethics and wisdom.

These seem to be in short supply at DOGE.

https://protondb.com is a community run database of game support on Linux. Nearly everything modern is supported, and with older games I have found Proton to actually work better than modern windows with some games. Furthermore, games like OpenTTD and OpenRA bring classic games natively to Linux for free. Distro wise, pretty much any of the major ones will work fine for gaming, though it seems Pop_OS is trendy for Vidya. Valve is about to (maybe they already have) release it's modified version of Arch called SteamOS for public use.

Basically yes, it's effectively just a promise, but statements like this could probably be used as evidence if it came to that. Your insurance would talk to their insurance and tell their insurance to talk to Volvo. Volvo would settle or maybe fight the case but they pinky promise not to try to push it back to you or your insurance.
I think the "when you read it" has more to do with age than decade. I read Snow Crash back in high school in the early 2010s before even necessarily encountering a lot of the derivative media and I adored it.

Of course. No EU president could lead an insurrection! The working group in Brussels charged with formalizing the insurrection guidelines to produce the right forms for the insurrectionists to apply for their mob permit...is currently stuck hammering out definitions between the Italian and Czech delegations.

They hope the paperwork will be complete by 2053, which will allow an EU president to, hopefully, attempt some kind of coup (if everything is filled out correctly) sometime before 2060.

The article also says "collaborative playlists allow Apple Music subscribers to create a curated event soundtrack" so there's clearly a subset of functionality that's only available for certain users. There's "integration with Maps and Weather", but how does that look like in Android? Can I still "contribute to Shared Albums"?
I used to have the problem where all of my posts would be 2000-3000 words, or more likely I would never finish them. So I started a newsletter in November. I committed to publishing every Monday and Thursday. Furthermore, since I have a wife and a toddler, I basically have about 4-5 hours to work on every post. The regular schedule has helped me get over my perfectionism, aggressively cut scope, and ship on time.
Thanks to big tech:

When a German citizen listens to German music released by a German record label, Google or Apple takes a cut and transfers it to America.

When a French company advertises on social media to French citizens, Google or Facebook takes a cut and transfers it to America.

When a Swedish citizen installs a mobile app from a Swedish company, Google or Apple takes a cut and transfers it to America.

When a British citizen makes a purchase from a British company, Visa or Mastercard takes a cut and transfers it to America.

When a Danish company buys a PC, Intel/AMD and Microsoft take a cut and transfer it to America.

And when an Italian company needs hosting services, there's a good chance Amazon, Google or Microsoft will be providing them - transferring the money to America.

Have you ever considered that so long as it's an American monopoly, bringing in fistfuls of cash in from abroad, there's no need to break up the goose that lays the golden egg?
Older hardware isn't always slower hardware.

Intel 6950X is unsupported. That's 10 cores at 3.5GHz. It's about 10x faster multicore and 2x faster single-core than a modern, supported Intel Celeron N4500.

Moore-style scaling where chips are faster (rather than just denser) ran out a while back. Expensive computers from a decade back beat cheap computers of today. A modern 20-core PC is perhaps 1/10th the CPU cost as compared to when the 6950x came out, but not a lot faster.

If that 6950x was maxed out to 128GB RAM and set up with a decent GPU, it can be a very good system.

That's among the oldest processors not supported, but many computers with somewhat newer CPUs don't work either due to motherboard / BIOS issues.
This is first thing I noticed and Uninstalled
Can't wait to see this thread in 60 minutes when the Apple marketers/astroturfers pick a positive organic comment and upvote it to the roof.
I think its great this is an "Apple only" thing. People willing to pay extra $$$ for a status symbol should stick together.
Love seeing projects like this that make it easier to talk to our retro systems
Ok so now it is getting explicit. So some things you dislike are getting cut, and because that is without due process and at illegal levels, causing excess harm that is serious & irreparable, eg, even deadly in some cases. You approve.

Next: People don't know what they are destroying and what other damage that will cause. Operations are fragile even without mass rug pulling. So that is another level of sociopathy to accept.

These come back to either being unaware or apathetic, which get back to social norms and ostracism.

>> Spotify is where indies who can't get a record deal go because they aren't marketable

Maybe as a 'former musician' you're a bit out of the loop? But indies don't 'go to Spotify'. You pay $40 to CDBaby or similar distribution services (DistroKid etc) and they distribute your track to pretty much all streaming services and digital music stores. Then they collect the payments for you. Nobody is picking and choosing which music streaming service to be on.
Haven't played in ages, but I used to play Dirt Rally, torchlight, victor vran and about 20 other games.

A few of the far cry games worked as well.
In the US WhatsApp is not widely used. I technically have an account but never installed the app when I moved to my iPhone. I had it installed for years but never used it on my prior Android phones.
When I did this almost 2 years ago with Midjourney, people came at me and started harassing me. It was just a party invite but people hated that I used AI. I guess I just needed to wait until the gatekeepers or a rich white man to do it for it to be socially acceptable. The pain from these AI luddites was real. I have strongly negative feelings for how Big Tech manipulated everyone into attacking everyone who was doing AI but them. They made it seem like the only ones to protect us from AI was them but the pain this caused didn't go away.
If I'm inviting someone and they RSVP, that transaction is successful and done to me.

If they use some other system (and people do) I'll respond via that system.

> Apple and Google don't even need to turn a profit on their platforms, and both of them are hurting Spotify directly by taking 30% of their subscription payments.

I think you mean just Apple there. Spotify on Android has in-app Premium subscriptions using Spotify as the payment provider (at the same price as Premium on the web).
It’s based on the new GroupKit API, which sounds like something that would be available to other apps in the future. Otherwise it would just use some private API.
I hope it's more robust than that.

But for all I know, it could be manual. Perhaps Bob runs a COBOL script each morning to pull a list of recipients, which Sally double checks for the various quirks that this old legacy system can produce, before giving it to Jim to run the payment script - with specific parameters for known edge cases - and if there is an error then Jenny from IT knows what to do. Only problem is that Bob, Sally, Jim and Jenny just got fired, the department was ordered to delete their documentation, and the responsibility now lies with some 19 year old with no background in either Finance or COBOL who just showed up on his first day thinking "how hard can it be?"
Yes, I've had tons of invites to share on google photos and it has always been a cluster in some way.
Intuition. If the majority of bitcoin usage was for transactions involving services and goods instead of speculative investment, there's a pretty strong case for a wager that the impact of speculative investment on its price would decrease.

I don't personally believe this will ever happen. BTC has too much legacy cruft. The "digital gold" narrative won out. Day-to-day transactions will happen in a newer, perhaps not invented yet crypto.
I have used it on Municipal Codes to explain things. I just don't have enough background on federal law and how amendments are stored.

To prove you right, you can read up on the incredible giga-brained countrywide experiments by Kardelj in Socialist Yugoslavia [0]. The result being a country where no-one wanted to work, and everyone had a great standard of living (while the IMF didn't call in its loans). And then the entire country collapsed all at once under the accumulated mismanagement.

Anyone can rsvp.
Midjourney is an interesting case study in this I think, building their product UI as a discord bot. It was interesting to be sure, but I always felt like I was fighting the "interface" to get things done. It certainly wasn't all bad, and I think if I used it more it might even be great, but as someone who doesn't use Discord other than that and only rarely generated images, I had to read the docs every time I wanted to generate an image, which is a ridiculous amount of friction.
rather months than years
creating fake comments huh?

the reviews on the site seem fake and there are spelling mistakes hehe

at the time of writing this, three different accounts have commented, all coincidentally made on feb 4

do correct me if i am wrong
I think that's preferable to them being totally unable to RSVP but you're still going to be the friend that can't make the invite. It's comparable to iMessage. You can still talk to Android users but it's a notably worse experience.
But think of the status symbolism! To know that someone has had to spend so much $$$ just to send you a message! Next they should do it for phone calls too!
"anyone can RSVP, regardless of whether they have an Apple Account or Apple device." It's in the 1st paragraph.

Joe Rogan and the people Spotify have a contract with sign a contract for a fixed amount.
This puts me in mind of something I read years ago and am having trouble finding that basically had the same premise but went about proving it a different way. The idea was that natural language programming is always going to mean dealing with a certain background level of ambiguity, and the article cited contracts and contract law as proof. Basically, a contract is an agreement to define a system with a series of states and a response for each state defined, and the vast and difficult-to-navigate body of contract law is proof that even when purposefully being as unambiguous as possible with two entities that fully grasp the intricacies of the language being used there is so much ambiguity that there has to be an entire separate group of people (the civil court system) whose only job it is to mediate and interpret that ambiguity. You might point to bad-faith actors but a contract where every possible state and the appropriate response are defined without ambiguity would be proof against both misinterpretations and bad faith actors.
Not even good answers. Plausible answers or answers that sound correct.

That is not the same thing.
RSVPing is clearly accessible to everyone, but how about all the other features? Namely, the "integration with Maps and Weather" and "contribute to Shared Albums". I already know I can only contribute to the "curated event soundtrack" if I have an Apple Music subscription, but those other ones are still unclear.

The invites market has been such a weird spot, with tons of small apps and sites and such low appetite from users to pay for this that this feels like a perfect opportunity. it's the kind of thing that should be a feature of iOS or Google Calendar but doesn't deserve to be it's own product market.
Interesting. So a lot of people still use FB for doing this. I wonder if this will be the tool for getting them off of FB finally.
Nothing like alienating your most knowledgeable user base. In the early days (MS-DOS), these are the people who helped Microsoft get to where they are now.

So by alienating them, they are probably steering the "unwashed" masses to alternate environments, ie: Linux, MACs and even *BSD

Good job Microsoft in helping out your competitors.
I have been gaming on Linux for many years, nearly anything I played worked really well, even modern games like cyberpunk or elden ring, for the distro I am using an immutable distro based on atomic fedora called bazzite but I tried fedora and arch and they work as well. I don't think anyone needs windows for gaming.
"Requires iOS 18 or later". Well nobody will be inviting me to any parties with this, I'm still using a 6s.
I'm pretty sure that's part of the point.
Or maybe people are just excited that there’s something new in this space that’s not Facebook Events?
For people in their early 20s to mid 30s in the NYC area, I'm starting to see mass adoption of an app called Partiful for managing social invites and events, it has a lot of nice features for sending invites, RSVP management, sending text blasts out to attendees (you can schedule reminders the day before or whatever).
I don’t think they mean it prevents fraud in general, I think they mean it prevents fraud on their service specifically.
It used to be you could buy fractions of a mutual fund, but not ETFs. Recently, brokerages have started allowed you to do fractional ETFs as well though.

Remember the EU Search Engine project, Quaero, and its equally failed successor, Theseus? No? I thought so.
A more modern COBOL maybe.
I'm surprised more people here don't pay for iCloud for at least the bottom tier storage (50GB). The free 5GB is almost worthless in 2025 for doing nightly backups. I don't back up with Apple Photos but even with "just" app data my nightly auto backups are like 10-15GB.
A decision like supplying or not supplying, defending or not defending a city like Leningrad is not something that was done without approval or disapproval of Stalin.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_of_Life

> Joseph Stalin tentatively approved, but he failed to appreciate the importance and only limited resources were committed.[19][20] The Leningrad Front planned the ice roads to bring 1965 tonnes of supplies to the city per day, but this was not initially met.[21] Little was achieved in the first weeks of operation.

That's putting it mildly. When Stalin "tentatively approved" but wasn't "enthused about it", so to speak, that meant to his minions that it should not be tried very hard and if they fail, their head is on the line.

"Stalin's warning served as a thinly veiled threat to the Leningrad leader

> The Nazis wanted to starve millions of Russians to death. They even had a plan to do it and talked about it publicly.

Just because Nazis had plans, that didn't stop Stalin from out-competing them. He started early even in the 30s. In fact it was the Soviet Union's government that killed millions of its own people in the end. It happened before, during and after the war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1946%E2%80%93..., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1930%E2%80%93...

> The law also extends nearly limitless benefit of doubt to the President when he is executing his Constitutional duties.

It does not. In fact, limiting this benefit of the doubt has been a major goal of the conservative legal movement in recent years. If what you say was true then Biden would have had no trouble forgiving student loan debt and requiring generation shifting.
So if the thermostat jumps to 105 during the night, that's not considered 'high-risk?'
