There's lots of very popular religions which have different expectations of moral behavior (in theory). It's also not a particularly pro-social moral framework.

Always surprising to me how many peoples’ moral framework is essentially the Code of Hammurabi with a few layers of indirection.

Can you help my understand why this article cites a higher per capita burglary rate in Texas than California (it claims the data is from the FBI)? https://www.thezebra.com/resources/research/burglary-statist...

The arguments in the thread are that aligning the product as built and architected with the goals of the company is actually engineering work and not PM work.

If you’re doing all that, the company could be paying you staff engineer or senior manager salaries?

Apple famously manages to do this with no Product Managers in its hardware or core software development organizations.

That law is not particularly widely enforced, and it seems to only be written to pursue those who use it as a loophole around inheritance laws.

Trying to interpret trends in garbage data is a fool’s errand, and the store dropped to “normal levels” presumably because it stopped reporting incidents.

The public data on shoplifting in San Francisco is so useless that one store accidentally reporting all shoplifting incidents for a brief period tripled the citywide rate: https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/sho

This isn’t true. Your average super car does not appreciate in value when you consider factors like maintenance and the fact that you have to buy a bunch of other garbage to even be put on the delivery list for a desirable car’s production.

I’m not sure what you mean by “holding themselves accountable for the data they hold”, but you began by implying data residency was compromising security at the behest of a government, but it does not itself do anything of that sort. Your t

Seems like a semantic quibble about the meaning of “technically feasible.” If you understand it as making claims about the system as it exists, it is true. If you understand it as making a claim about what Apple could theoretically do in al

The technical proposals are equally odious, and Europe is, what, 30 years removed from all sorts of authoritarian hijinks? In any case, selective support for technical proposals based on broader political vibes is not a particularly inspiri

I’m not sure if you’re aware, but there are anti-encryption legislative proposals in the EU which are as ill-informed and scary as anything I’ve heard of in Mainland China. It’s very unclear to me if motives matter in this case.

They never told customers it was technically infeasible. From the contemporaneous Q&A from the 2016 letter opposing coerced access: “ Is it technically possible to do what the government has ordered? Yes, it is certainly possible to cre

Why is data residency law cool and progressive when the EU does it and Big Tech complies, but Bad and Dystopian when China does the same? Tim Cook has said on the record that iCloud is the same regardless of data center.

Americans were not protected by regulation from doing business with FTX.us, though, and behind the scenes it seems both the entities were the same for practical purposes.

Another value of consulting is getting advice from someone who has seen the same decisions play out elsewhere, including at competitors, and apply their secret information on your behalf. It is effectively non-public strategy information la

It was a buggy rollout, but they managed to ship an entirely new file system to billions of devices while largely preserving user data. It should be heralded as a software achievement.

Comparing the system Music app which has existed since iOS 1.0 with an optional music streaming service that can be disabled as “equivalently bad” as carrier bloatware pretty much undermines your point entirely.

This is totally false. When I used Android, finding a phone maker and carrier who sold “pure” or “stock” Android without pre-installed garbage was the first step to buying a phone!

It is odd to me that there are people who eagerly agree that Apple can coerce users into configurations they don't want for lack of better options yet also believe that no other company could make them do that w.r.t. being forced to do

It's hard for me to interpret your comment since you never state who "we" refers to.

Not only is that adjacent to, but itself, a wrong statement, what does it even have to do with anything?

Did you read the article? He didn't cash out for the same reason he left a job with guaranteed wealth at Jane Street: he doesn't think he has the same diminishing marginal utility for money that you do.
