We’re moving away from hardware and into software and longevity in this discussion but wrt “apple leads the industry in supporting older devices with software updates” i would point out that Red Hat is probably more of a beacon / industry leader here as the main promise of RHEL is 10 years of support and updates. But again we don’t ship hardware so I see the narrower sense that you’re making but still would like to push back on the idea that giant companies cannot continue to keep complicated legacy code bases secure and functional about 2x longer in most cases than what Apple has done


4:20 PM - nice


Have you considered taking up your hobby in Afghanistan? Somewhat tongue in cheek, but a locality under the Taliban have ratified a morality law that bans photography of living things https://apnews.com/article/afghanistan-taliban-media-moralit...

The taliban actually have a fascinatingly (philosophically) based law where it’s illegal to photograph a living thing. I’m not sure about the reason. Maybe derived from the not being okay to depict Mohammed. But I kind of dig the concept especially for living things that can’t consent to be captured in images


> have a fascinatingly (philosophically) based law

Is neither fascinating nor philosophically based. It's a long-running islamic tradition that gets broken and bent all the time. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aniconism_in_Islam


both of my claims were subjective and thus not really refutable. As an outsider I think it is interesting, too. And think the flexibility is similar to many laws akin to what we have in the US via prosecutorial discretion

I should’ve included a source to where I read about it initially and that’s below

simon how do you get so much done? It’s incredible. Would love to see the day in the life TikTok :P


Imagine trying to set your oven and microwave clock to line up with it precisely after they reset from a power outage


I have been thinking about this a lot recently as well and think there is a really simple answer and fix and am frustrated I haven’t seen it meaningfully attempted or discussed anywhere (passively consuming message boards etc)

Cash flow per person (per household) just like the IRS does (except also including money from loans).
