Well I agree that with Apple there is always some sort of plan. But the real question would be: is that plan worth it? Considering what they are doing with the Vision Pro, I am extremely skeptical. I think Apple has lost touch with why peop

When half of your work output is taken away to give to your already well-off parents, you don't have much left over to have kids.

Yep that's pretty much it. If it was all about value, we wouldn't have people doing "work" who not only don't generate any material wealth but actually consume a lot of value for nothing very valuable in return.

You can't say they did nothing about it. They actually did: make sure to restrain access to well-paying jobs with long and costly studies; make sure to regulate any way the young could get ahead by creating rules for things they never

If what you say is even remotely true, wealth would have never been passed from generation to generation and people would have never invested in stuff useful for the future. What you actually mean is that there is a non-negligible portion o

Exactly. People looking at a direct 1-to-1 replacement are thinking about it the wrong way. Like you said, newspapers didn't get replaced by another kind of newspaper, various web media took their place. I was talking about this kind o

Contempt is like the default mode of operation of today's Apple. Even if you like their stuff, find them useful and valuable, it's hard to abstract away the behavior. At some point it is bound to hurt you as well...

Yeah it's really not the same odds and merit. But the thing is people always use the extreme outlier as "proof" that something is possible. There is both survival bias and moral rationalisation when it comes from rich people.

You are misrepresenting exploitation of local ressources as "selling your soul to the devil". This is such a bad faith way to present the situation. There is absolutely no plan to "destroy others" the fact that you try t

Germany is definitely one of the least bad in the EU for sure. There are, however, many reasons they can get away with that and a lot of it has to do with the economic manipulations they make at the EU level. Germany does not play fair and

I agree that you don't see it as accurate but only because you are engaged deeply in self-deception. You say you didn't have the budget, which basically means, "human illustrator is too expensive for the value I get out of it

And that's the fundamental problem with web software, regardless of its technical merit (or lack thereof). It's crazy that you can pay something for so long but whenever they decide it's not profitable enough, you not only lo

That's a pretty good display of the nonsense of SaaS. Someone who has paid for premium will find itself with a shitty export that won't be usable without investing a lot of time into importing somewhere else or making some sort of

You are completely delusional. As you have been told, even when evaluating favorably the EU job, the difference will be so substantial that it's hardly comparable. You may think there are many advantages of the social system, but the t

I agree a whole lot. I find it particularly revolting when Americans comes to EU for "free" education, free healthcare, etc. Only to end up going back to the US at some for the better quality of life and pay (and I believe, avoid

You will be paying for the education in the form of very high taxes for all your life, regardless of if you studied or if the quality was good or even useful (something extremely debatable, outside of some key selective universities). I am

So basically, you are happy because AI could replace a human for cheap? I mean sure, from a purely profit oriented point of view it's good but you need to realize the human being replaced isn't feeling too good about it. Especiall

I strongly disagree. I have experienced many very well-off people (middle class+) who consistently choose cheap crap because they refuse to think about their choices in any other ways than maximisation of their benefits (at a surface level)

There is a cross-over point, it's around your body temp, so usually between 36 and 38C. In France we have thermostatic shower mixer with labeling around this temp, with even a push button lock that can prevent you from going over 38C i

It's not just for health and safety, it's also to avoid inconveniencing others with body odors. And there is a lot to be said about looking "good" too. I have very oily scalp (dry skin) and annoyingly thin and stiff hair

This was my thought instantly. It looks like a worse Soulver with fewer features and not many benefits. I am confused why you would want to bother with plaintext and go out of your way to use a limiting editor to do that. Ah well the macOS

The amount of nagging in recent Apple software is extremely annoying. Personally, I believe it the influence of women's behavior on how things should be.

Yes it's that insane. And Apple is marketing the shit out of their "security". It's all about posturing and pretending, image is the only thing that matters to Apple.

In the end, locking a hardware device to an online account is just stupid. They marketed it as a tool to prevent theft (and recover if lost) but in reality, it has not prevented theft at all (if anything it has increased as the phones valu
