daedrdev··on Apple Just Lost Me
Any system of age verification will fail to satisfy the writer, because it is fundamentally the UK’s fault by requiring such draconian measures. Credit cards don't work ever time, but the other options of using AI or sending your data to a third company who will resell it are also not great.

The only other complaint seems to be liquid glass? It really feels strange because Apple feels on the upswing with their new office and their cheap, repairable mac.

daedrdev··on Epic Games to cut more than 1k jobs as Fortnite usage falls
What do you think these game companies should do instead? The license lets you make your own copies on your own devices while preventing stealing by people who might make a copy and then resell, which would absolutely happen if allowed.

daedrdev··on Google just gave Sundar Pichai a $692M pay package
How will shortages be avoided if pay isn’t deterred by supply and demand? An industry that needs workers raises wages until satisfied, what magical thinking do you propose instead

daedrdev··on The normalization of corruption in organizations (2003) [pdf]
The US supreme court allowed thank you gifts for politicians to not be considered bribes somehow in a 2024 ruling, I think that alone might break the US.
daedrdev··on Banned in California
Trust me I know. If you've ever talked to any of them they absolutely whine about California if you let them.

I obviously mean that you can filter out and properly dispose of and neutralize what would be emissions, so that they are not emitted. I cant see your comment as anything but bad faith, why are you responding like this?
daedrdev··on Banned in California
Listen y’all, it’s not just that we aren't letting companies spew chemicals into the air. The permitting and regulatory process is so extremely hostile that even when you want to and are able to do so safely and without emissions, it’s impossible.

Instead you have to ship things from out of state and other countries, which generates emissions and pollution itself that might actually be more than local production.

Its the same issue as housing. Endless rules and regulations, many of which make no attempt at doing anything but block, cause the wealth of socirty to be siphoned away. An apartment project in LA with permits complete is worth twice as much as one without. How do we see this and expect our economy to do anything except drown in bureaucracy?

My advice is dont ever manufacturing anything in CA. They will try and kill your business for simply existing no matter how perfect you are.

Some of these items actually net improve clean air and clean water, but you’re instead happy to export those pollutants to another country to feel better yourself

daedrdev··on Why is the sky blue?
this is true of many human mutations with the development of medical care, its not like we face evolutionary pressure for many things
daedrdev··on Why is the sky blue?
Some animals have more cone types than humans, especially various birds, so would probably see a violet sky.

We don't have this because common ancestor for all mammals lost all cones but one, perhaps due to being nocturnal, and a second was re-evolved as mammals became more dominant (after dinosaur extension). A third cone was evolved in primates due to a gene duplication that gave us our green cone

daedrdev··on MIT Living Wage Calculator
vacancy rates are extremely low in most cities. That clearly implies supply and demand and not collusion. In new york units are often empty because they are illegal to rent unless massively expensive repairs are made while under rent control. That's not collusion, that is regulatory failure

daedrdev··on Silver plunges 30% in worst day since 1980, gold tumbles
Silver has plenty of industrial uses. Very little has changed in industry to cause demand or supply shifts to match the massive price swings. Thus a lot of this is probably meme investors gambling
daedrdev··on People who know the formula for WD-40
Knowing all the molecules in it might be only a minor step towards actually making it, especially since some inputs of production might not be present in the final product.
