Equally interesting: what reinforces this behavior? I would love to break down the cognition involved in saying: okay, I mashed this, now I'm spreading it on my wound, oh wow I hurt less!
So your phone should come with a lifetime license for all its software for free ? What about new apps and features ? You can currently get everything in the iOS ecosystem on an iPhone 11 that you paid for how many years ago?
It is funny to see people on HN arguing against paying for software. Of course software should be paid for, unless you want everything included for free - which means outsourced to India.
I don’t think so, you can create an app without the fee. (Xcode is free and nothing is gated based on subscription AFAIK), you just can’t upload it. So I think for EU users this isn’t the case.
Ticket prices also are likely rising due to physical demand, there's more people and more fans than ever before, but most performers aren't performing at more and bigger venues. IT's the same pressure that exists on real estate, but to a lesser degree.
I typically write up all of that in my documentation somewhere. Stuff like "first thoughts are this approach might work, talked to person who had this idea, looked at this link and found this info, decided to go with this approach because of factors x, y, z". This isn't the primary user-facing documentation but a subpage or something that's helpful a couple of years down the line
It's like a book titled "A History of [Object]" that traces what solved problems before the object, issues with old solutions, the emotional, financial, etc state of the inventor, why they chose this solution over that one, how the object was adopted and improved afterwards, other inventions spawned off the object, etc. Capturing the history of the object requires capturing the context around the object too
This is true, you can set the format on your phone, but if you receive images from other people or clients, you cannot modify their phone's settings.
While I agree I could communicate it better, this utility not only converts but also compresses the image so you get 2 core functionalities in a click.
Luck. Word of mouth. Anyway, things you can't control (and can barely influence) as a developer/publisher. So, we face the notion that, perhaps, if we want people to take the risk of creating and sustaining a business for reasons other than simple profit (say, to provide a needed or pleasant service), the proposition might need to be better than, "Succeed or die (sometimes literally)." Because none of it's a sure thing, and it can't be, but sane people generally aren't going to bet their life or livelihood on a risky venture (assuming that irrational passion is a form of insanity).
That is a bit too close to defining them as better within the framework of scientific method.
For example, though I suspect you won’t like this line of question, are we by chance able to make increasingly accurate predictions about something increasingly irrelevant or not beneficial to ourselves? Presumably our selves matter in that regard—we are the predictor, the actor and the sole beneficiary in that process.
> But science does reveal objective truth, in the sense that it reveals truths (or at least very good approximations to truths) that are independent of what anyone's opinions are
Models are metaphors to aid our minds in coming up with more predictions to test. If a model was able to predict N outcomes that does not make it correct, unless you can guarantee that there will not be a future outcome that makes that model incorrect, which you cannot as that notion would presume you have come up with a provably correct and complete model in finite time.
> But even then, it does put constraints on what metaphysical truth could be. For example, unless quantum mechanics is wrong (which is extremely unlikely) then it is not possible for metaphysical truth to be classical.
I cannot object to that, except the part where you claim that quantum mechanics being wrong is extremely unlikely. I will stand by my initial assumptions and claim that it is not just extremely likely but a near certainty that quantum mechanics is wrong—just because it is foolish to assume that any of today’s models is finally correct and true. It may be useful in meantime, though.
What servers, engineers, and operations are needed to sideload an app?
How did literally every OS before iOS manage to provide all of that for free, then? (Not counting game consoles, which always had a very similar distribution model, but importantly were often subsidized by their platform operator, and I hope nobody is claiming that iPhones are loss leaders for Apple.)
In my view, SDKs for third-party app development aren't premium/value-add services, they're a core OS functionality. Few people would be happy with an OS that can only run first-party apps.
The only things incurring costs to Apple scaling with the number and popularity of third-party apps that come to mind right now are malware protection and push notifications. If Apple really thinks that baking these into the device price would break their bank, I suppose they could always make an iCloud subscription mandatory for that type of service.
"When she became concerned, I used Monopoly as a comparison, so, for her, Mommy is playing real-life Monopoly now."
I wonder if she remembers that only one person wins in Monoploy and that happens when everyone else is bankrupt.
I think she could have focuses this article on how she was going to use the fruits of her hard work (and good luck) to improve her community and/or the world.
There are a lot of different well-meaning policies that can fuck up a housing market by restricting supply. Rent control is just one of them.
This is like if you say that privatizing prisons is a bad thing and then somebody else comes along and says "But look at North Korea. They have state-run prisons and the prisoner conditions aren't any better. Clearly, therefore, privatization of prisons doesn't result in any bad outcomes for prisoners." Just a total non-sequitor.
These comments are getting repetitive and Who Is Hiring threads are not the place to ligitate this (let alone have off-topic tangents like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40228529)
My only issue with masks is that they're a bit too annoying to wear and they reduce my ability to understand what people are saying because I can't see their mouth.
I would happily wear masks if they're more convenient.
My point is that many people reject very rational solutions, and don't even want to look at them, because of groupthink, and yes that's irrational.
Ask yourself, for instance, what chance does a real Web3 solution have on HN? Even Jack Dorsey's bluesky, for instance, instantly lost HNers when Jack started branding it as "Web5". IPFS no longer generates much interest because of FileCoin. Just one example, of the "halo effect".

I’m currently a director of product & Gen AI with over a decade of experience working in tech as a SWE, founder, and technical product manager. I’ve built and scaled products & teams for companies in all sorts of industries (most recently in the healthcare space), and thrive in fast-paced environments where I'm able to drive product & engineering initiatives. I'm a problem solver & hacker at heart, and passionate about applied AI & AGI. If you're working on autonomous agents let's chat!
I’m predominantly interested in product/engineering opportunities at companies in the AI space whose mission values I align with - ideally centered around leveraging technology for accelerating human progress. Reach out if you're interested in working together!
You know what companies do way more frequently when they are in trouble?
Layoffs.
But when you are CEO you can inform the board of this magic money source called offering, where you can keep bloated headcounts and not lose profits. I'm sure they will listen to you.
