I had an iPhone I was fixing up. I backed up what was necessary, disconnected the old iCloud account, and created a new one to use when updating the OS. I created a spam-blocking address (mailgw) for this account. It created fine and I logged in from the phone without problem. I did the OS update, but then I got a dreaded error that it couldn't log in. I tried to log in with the account on the PC and it has been deleted. Apple deleted the account out from under the phone and now it's iCloud locked, all within less than half an hour. I called but they said I'd have to go to an Apple store and produce the original receipt. If this was really about theft, why couldn't I just regain control from the AppleID that had been logged in for years from the phone? I checked from that account but it had no option to report that the phone was fine. This was a many-year-old phone and the receipt was long gone. So Apple basically bricked the phone, with no recourse. I will never buy an Apple device again.

My dream product in this space (...that I didn't know existed until I discovered your site about 10 minutes ago LOL):

I listen to music when I work/code, and I used to loooooove Spotify Playlist Radio (a feature the reason for which they killed I will never understand) because it helped me discover new music in the style of music I already enjoyed working to. Liked a song? Add it to the seed list and click play to fine-tune the radio station.

So what I really want is just a fine-tuneable infinite stream of novel music to work to. And by fine-tuneable, I mean I'd love to be able to nudge the generation (Pandora style) with thumbs ups / thumbs downs, or other more specific guidance/feedback (more bass, faster tempo, etc.) until I have this perfectly crafted, customized-for-me stream of music.

I'd probably listen to it all day and happily pay $$ for this.

Is this a pipe dream?

> There's no up button

Display the path bar at the bottom and you can get to any level of parent in 1 click. Without the path bar you can also right-click on the current folder name at the top of the window to also navigate to any level of parent.

> no split screen

This is not something I've ever found a use for in any OS, I always just open 2 windows. It does have tabs, and you can drags stuff between tabs, albeit with some delay. This seems minor, unless for very specific workflows.

> you can't copy a path easily

Right-click file or folder, when you then press Option, Copy changes to copy path.

> you can't show hidden files easily

Command+Shift+. toggles hidden files on and off. I find this pretty easy to remember, since dots prefix hidden files.

> you can't customize the columns in list mode

Right-click the headings and you can add/remove the ones you want? Is that what you're talking about?

> there's no cut and paste

Instead of an option when copying, it's an option when pasting. Command+C to copy, then add Option while pasting... Command+Option+V. I almost never use Cut, even on Windows of Linux, I don't want to cut something, get interrupted, do something else, and lose my file. Having it move, then delete the source with the paste action, is safer.

It sounds like you haven't used Finder that much, or weren't willing to learn or adapt your behaviors.

There are some things about other file explorers I like, but I don't find myself struggling to use Finder at all. I mostly miss column view when I'm on anything that isn't Finder.

The New Deal?

> rushing

Really? This was rushed?

Wiki says:

> During Roosevelt's first hundred days in office in 1933 until 1935, he introduced what historians refer to as the "First New Deal", which focused on the "3 R's": relief for the unemployed and for the poor, recovery of the economy back to normal levels, and reform of the financial system to prevent a repeat depression.

Further:

> From 1935 to 1938, the "Second New Deal" introduced further legislation and additional agencies which focused on job creation and on improving the conditions of the elderly, workers, and the poor.

Next you wrote:

> not looked upon kindly given a moment of retrospection

I'm essentially comfortable with the government knowing what banks I've banked at, what homes I've lived in, and where and when I've been arrested. I'm much less comfortable with those being in a public database anyone can query.
It's not just the cutting edge node. Arizona chips will still be shipped back to Taiwan because TSMC only do Fan-out PoP packaging there. This will unlikely change for the next 5 factories. This is a good win win for everyone. Trump gets to parrot jobs back in america slogan, TSMC gets some extra money to scale out production to 64% of their revenue customer (US based) and Taiwan gets to keep what is really, really important.

Taking a quick look at the JSC code, the main difference is that CacheIR is more pervasive and load-bearing. Even monomorphic cases go through CacheIR.

The main justification for CacheIR isn't that it enables us to do optimizations that can't be done in other ways. It's just a convenient unifying framework.

> It means immigration at a rate high enough that it's beyond the capacity of the host nation to integrate the newcomers to its culture.

This resistance falls away quickly when food price inflation spirals out of control because you cannot find cheap labour for your harvests. (In 2025, there are zero highly developed nations, (yes, including Japan!) that do not heavily depend upon seasonal migrant labour to help with harvests.) Same when sick and elderly people have unreasonably long wait times at clinic or hospital due to doctor/nurse shortage.
Governments and states fall apart all the time . The chilling effect of the panopticon has been found to keep things more "pleasant" even in their absence.

Show HN: A brand new, stable, no_std, extendable, Rust units library
Over the past few weeks I have been working on a new units library called Shrewnit! My motivation for this library was the amount of unstable or very recent features used by existing units libraries such as uom or diman. Not only Shrewnit should be usable on very old toolchain versions, it is also usable on embedded platforms without std, an allocator, or floating point operations.

Shrewnit also provides APIs for extending existing dimensions with new units, or adding new dimensions entirely.

Units can be created in two ways:
```rust
// Multiplication:
let quantity: Length<f32> = 1.0 * Inches;
let quantity = 1.0f32 * Inches;

// Extension trait:
let quantity: Length<f32> = 1.0.inches();
let quantity = 1.0f32.inches();

```
Unit math works as you would expect:
```rust
let velocity = 12.0f64 * MetersPerSecond;
let time = 3.0 * Seconds;

let displacement = velocity * time;

println!("{}", displacement.to::<Inches>());

```

Both of those concerns are valid, but America's geopolitical rivals have the same problems and are less well positioned to address them than America is.

> It also requires structural fixes within America (mostly looking at the wealth inequality)

I think the US will make some positive strides here soon - there is a real effort at the FTC and DOJ to reduce monopolization, consolidation and exclusive dealing, which are some of the primary drivers of wealth inequality. This began in a limited way under Trump's first administration (mainly tech focused), expanded in a big way under Biden, and every indication from the Trump admin is that they are substantially going to continue with the direction Biden went. Anti-trust is a dry topic so it doesn't get a lot of media attention. But the push here is real, it began in the executive branch, and we are starting to see it expand into the judicial branch as judges start to agree with the government's arguments. What is really significant is that both parties seem to support it to some degree so the momentum will be hard to stop.

> as well as properly address the nativist embers that are currently lit.

Could be a concern but as long as the US is a two party state, this is unlikely to become systemic, at least at the federal level, it is more likely to be a gory see-saw. The US will always be more immigrant friendly than its geopolitical rivals, it will always do a better job at importing new people and turning them into citizens and Americans than China or Russia does. Its native population also reproduces today at higher rates than the native populations of its rivals.

Authority, none. Power, plenty.
I hope you’re right. But even if that were the case, and trade agreements were better on paper, the net effect on the U.S. after all is said and done (damaged relationships, seeking out new markets etc.) is probably negative

Venture capitalists favor crypto projects because they enable significantly faster risk offloading compared to traditional investments, where 7-10 year holding periods are standard.

With crypto, the VCs can sell the majority of their tokens after brief lockup period, capitalizing on purely narrative-driven speculative valuations that almost always disconnect from the actual reality, let alone fundamentals.

Crypto VC perfectly embodies the Greater Fool Theory. The VCs profit by selling to later buyers motivated more by speculative momentum than intrinsic value. The joke being that VC involvement in a project is often the only thing even driving that momentum.

This combination of compressed liquidity timelines, minimal regulatory oversight, and a glut of retail investors who have FOMO from seeing their friends 100x or even 1000x, creates an ideal environment for VCs to systematically transfer risk to less sophisticated market participants at often insane valuations.

This never works. The security through economy pitch. It has never, ever worked.

America was a reliable security guarantor. We promised to protect and had honour. Honour isn’t in the American cultural vocabulary anymore. So the guarantees are proven useless and everyone has to scramble back into realpolitik.

Beijing knows this. But the timeline on which they become energy self sufficient unfortunately meshes poorly with their military demographics. Of course now, they have former American allies from which to recruit manpower if necessary.
