They could have called them Apple Crates.

It's on purpose, it's not even called an "alpha" release, they don't want people who don't know what they are doing to install it.

The also design worked because it covered a specific need, for example in case of the iPhone, it was "an iPod, a phone, an internet mobile communicator" -- people wanted to have that in their pocket.

What do people want to hang on their neck? What's the use case for that?

I actually use Perplexity to summarize the post...

It's a social invention that is easier to change simultaneously by law, good luck having each business, school make decisions about the "right time" to open. And good luck knowing if each business that you are interested in decides to open earlier during summer or later during winter...

Ultimately you need to understand that the "human invention" is not following the realities of seasons which is a simple cosmic fact, not an invention.
DST it's just a way of trying to sync the human invention twice a year to match the cosmic reality better. Ignoring the reality is worse than changing the time twice a year. Do you have a better solution?

The difference is that nowadays that would be called sexist (also a superior taking advantage of a position of power) and would be canceled.

Seems excessive, but even shaving 3-5 extra minutes with worth when you talk about many machines, it's hours or days of work.

I use Enhancer for YouTube, I highly recommend it: https://chromewebstore.google....

Amazing books, the hive mind dog-like creatures was such an interesting idea.

Is that wise? That sounds like a bad thing to me...

For me it's any political debate that mentions "media".

My bad, I skipped over that paragraph for some reason. It's a weird claim, it's one thing to claim academic freedom and other thing to speak about free speech rights. I actually suspected the article embellished that and misquoted, so I had to check the complaint, I found the bit that refers to freedom of speech and association:

"In January 2023, Dean Elmendorf told Dr. Donovan that she was not allowed to communicate to donors and supporters her understanding of what was taking place. "
I guess a workplaces can put restrictions who you can talk to, probably not the strongest claim.

Where did you read "rights to free speech"? You make assumptions without reading the article.

It's not about politics, left, or right, it sounds to me like it's about corporations and Meta influence over Harvard.

You are working with the people you have not with ideal programmers that you don't have. That's almost like saying "there's no reason for safety belts, just have better drivers that don't crash". Besides, if there are tools that eliminate 70% of your problems, why not use them?
