I don't disagree with your follow up. Thanks for the post.

The post I responded to mentioned (and naturally I mentioned this as well) perks, autonomy, structure, etc... and then says that the missing piece is billions of dollars in ad revenue. So I pointed out that many companies are able to get th

I don't buy it. Many companies are able to get the perks, culture, and autonomy right without being a multi-billion dollar company. It does enable Google to do certain things (like moonshot projects) that smaller companies can't d

Great Lakes Region is just fine. Don't really have tornados in Ohio that often (you're thinking like, Kansas or Oklahoma). No flooding really, no wildfires, blizzards only once in awhile (and with global warming soon to be never).

Pragmatically I'm not a libertarian, though I believe anarchism to be the most moral political philosophy. In practice I lean far left of most people. What I wanted to stop was this demonization of "the free market" and its w

The definition is too stringent to be useful, and I made note of the Wikipedia definition (because I knew people would google search "what is a free market" to look up the definition since they don't know it) and already gave

You do live in a free market. You don't live in a free market by a definition including no interference from government. But that's a dumb and useless definition so it's tossed out here.

If you live in the West you live in a free market right now. Asking the "libertarians" what they would do about this incident in the "free market" is a deceptive thing to say. Not only does it ignore the fact that we liv

This is true, but I think a better solution is to just buy a gift instead of cash or a gift card.

Buy a windows desktop then I guess? The issue I have is that people want desktop power in a laptop. Yes, I'd love to have the latest Nvidia chip in my pencil-thin MacBook but there are trade offs. The 32gb ram issue. Well, they can des

by muninn_ 10y ago
Yeah. I mean look, they could design a laptop for the vast majority of their users, or they could design one that is best for <1% if their users. It's a clear choice.

by muninn_ 10y ago
Yeah I can see that (though keep in mind that this is a very fringe case). But on the other hand I'm not complaining that my MacBook can't run any game available at 60 fps. If I want to do that, I get a desktop. I think that has b

If this is the case, it just shows we need to further urbanize.

And I don't have a problem with this, but I do have a problem with minimum numbers of parking spots, or giant parking lots that are unutilized during the night or while you're not at work. Parking spots at place should like Costco

I see. I was really just curious because for the longest time I got by with just 4gb on a MacBook Air until I switched to the MacBook and 8gb. I run VMs and other software on it but never really ran into a RAM issue. I think there is hope t

So you can only be serious about political ideas if you start shooting cops? Nonsense.

by muninn_ 10y ago
The ram you were using 3 years ago is a lot slower than the ram they have put into the new MacBook pros. So there is that benefit at least. 32 GB is a lot of ram. What do you do where you need that much ram in a laptop? Is that the limiting

Well, what do you think they should do? I'm not proposing a solution, but I do think what I said is true. Even if we equal out everything else, and assume that the government is woefully unable to help poor people or those who have los

This is true. I live in the Midwest, voted for Obama twice, but saw that for the most part the government just kept on screwing the rest of us. Didn't matter who we elected, we never got "change". I didn't vote for Trump

I'm not sure how this is related to the cost/benefit of voting? Yes you can not vote and still live here. And? (I'm not trying to be argumentative, just don't understand).

Good comment and perspective. I don't live in the Bay Area, but I actually hope that the problem gets worse and that non-development continues. It can/does keep some engineers here in areas like where I live. The primary issue the

Why would they need to make USB-c accessories (they do though)? Other companies can and do make them. Apple should stick to making forward-thinking machines and software.
