I do. I got it on launch and have used it a ton.

Some ISPs block other ports, so if you want to host something, that might be your best option.

Yup. We’re hiring, but the candidate pool is a minefield of utter trash, so it takes a while to hire despite having hundreds of applicants. We don’t expect much beyond basic competency, but apparently that’s too much to ask sometimes.

And everyone and their dog is trying to get into tech. The industry is bound to get saturated eventually…

Yeah, I’m more-or-less the same. Outside of Silicon Valley, Seattle, and a few other big metros, tech pay is good, but not amazing. I know what I’d have to do to get $200k+, but I’m unwilling to (crazy hours, move to SF, etc).

I’m agreeing w/ you that stock price is irrelevant here, and that’s what the video opens with. The market is unhappy w/ Apple because they’re delivering essentially what people claim to want: a solid product with steady improvements w/o anything crazy. Microsoft, on the other hand, is delivering what the market wants, which is shoving AI into everything.

I guess I don’t understand why the video is relevant to the average user, who doesn’t really care about innovation and instead wants a consistent experience.

The study you provided seems to be looking at safety features some time after purchase, which has more to do with after sale service than reliability of the car.

I’m far more interested in defects causing recalls or repairs than whether people get their brakes inspected properly. Your study seems to be measuring how much people use the service warranty and the quality of that service, not whether the car is actually built well and has a reliable transmission or engine.

Yeah, it’s honestly crazy to me because I think lockdowns were a net benefit to me. I was able to spend more time with my SO and kids, I had time for exercise and hobbies since I didn’t need to sit in traffic, and I didn’t need to spend as much social energy making small talk (I’m introverted). I honestly thrived during COVID. Getting COVID sucked for the week or so I had symptoms, but that was honestly a small price to pay for solitude.

But then I see headlines of people literally going crazy, see a dramatic increase in road rage in my area (which didn’t have lockdowns, only social distancing for businesses), and see my own extended family struggling.

I feel so bad for people like your grandparents that suffered. I just personally wish the COVID lifestyle was more accessible.

Sure, that’s an argument for why the stock price is suffering, not for why macOS is in danger. Apple is still massively profitable, the stock price just reflects the market’s perception that profits won’t increase as fast as their competitors.

It sounds like you’re complaining about not having consistent DOM state, not about the XSLT library. Whether the library is built in to the browser or an add-on is irrelevant to your problem.

I’m saying it shouldn’t, it should instead be distributed to the people. It should be used for something like UBI.

Maybe on flat ground under ideal circumstances, but there are plenty of times I go camping just a few km off the main road and the cell signal is completely gone.

I watched the first minute or so, which was about their stock price relative to Microsoft. Profitability is a huge part of a company’s stock price.

I didn’t watch the rest because I’m not going to watch a 30 min video without a good reason to.

So you’re saying Linux killed your wife’s grandparents.

How does Apple’s profitability being a little less than it used to be (they’re still insanely profitable) imply that it’s a “sinking ship”?

I’m a Linux user as well, but use macOS at work and it’s fine.

Or rural and remote areas. I think it would be a ton of fun to go backpacking with a foldable solar panel and an antenna.

Looking through the comments, someone already wrote a polyfill that people could use if they need it. It’s a niche feature that is the source of security vulnerabilities, so why fix it if they can safely replace it?

The idea is rooted in the same ideas that Georgism is based on, which is the idea that people should own the value they create themselves, whereas things like property should be communally owned. Inheritance money isn’t created value, so I think there’s a good argument that it should be capped, and any excess should go to the people…

I don’t believe in inheritance tax to fund the government though, it should merely be redistributed either as cash or donations to unaffiliated charities. The only tax used to fund governments should be land value taxes.

I think we should instead cap inheritance/gifts, not income.

The cap wouldn’t be zero, it would probably be in the low millions. If your parents were wealthy, you’d have a head start, but you would still need to work. There could be a separate exclusion for spouses, where maybe they keep half of the wealth or something as a one-time transfer (i.e. if they get remarried, that wealth wouldn’t transfer to the new spouse).

As part of this, I also want to rework corporations and trusts. Basically, the only legal entity that gets special tax treatment are corporations with low valuation, once you go public or report net income or revenue over some amount, the legal protections go away. So mom and pop shops would get bankruptcy protection and whatnot, but large corporations wouldn’t.

But all of that overcomplicates what I wanted to communicate, which is that generational wealth shouldn’t be a thing. Property should be community owned and exclusivity agreements should be temporary (i.e. real estate should be owned until death).

Agreed for the most part, but I disagree about the 100% taxes thing. I think we should instead cap inheritance/gifts, not income. You can be as wealthy as you want, but once you die, it all goes back to the common pot.

I don’t care about rich people, I mostly just care about generational wealth.
