This number is probably not counting equity (not sure a CFO would have a variable compensation as well)

I wonder how this works on Windows, if any service overrides/resets it

lol not everyone wants/needs an iPhone

And yes. People need to get on with the times.

In the same way people "need" a power connection in their house. And water plumbing. And used to need a phone line to "participate in society"


So what's next?

Do they also need to have an age-verified Facebook account?

Plus an attested age-verified operating system on that phone?

Are they allowed to use GrapheneOS or do they need to use only the vendor's stock ROM image?

Is it OK if they turn off surveillance on the device or is that required too to "participate in society"?


I know you're joking but the future will be: No. Yes. No, stock only. No, surveillance required.

I don't think he's joking, some people are just like that

One very egregious example: Moovit

Even with mobile FF and adblock their mobile website is completely unusable. Now ask me if I'm happy to download ther app if their website is a complete POS like that

The desktop website works "fine" for the most part though


Ah yes a business like the mafia

The parent commenter has apparently never heard of organized crime.

I'd give it that matching hashes is probably the least worse way of going about this

Except for that pesky detail of hash collisions

FTFY


Yes and (IIRC) they don't want to flyby while at full moon on the far side as to have some shadows to help differentiate the terrain

Yeah your life must really suck if you only care about immediate hurdles and pains without making room for hope or creativity

Well yes. For too many people, life does suck for that very reason.

That's not something to mock people for; it's a problem to apply your mind to and fix.


> it's a problem to apply your mind to and fix

In kids, sure. In adults, not sure it’s worth the effort on a society wide basis.


And your life might be very privileged to so flippantly disregard anyone’s reality that is just that difficult.

It's that difficult but they're also commenting on hn.

And? Is that a hurdle or something? You know homeless people are allowed to go on the internet? Smartphones? You'll find other homeless or desolate people here on HN - I won't name anyone out of respect but if you read enough comments here over time you would recognize them.

you’re making their point, you just don’t know it yet

I think you can just replace it with Vaseline (Petroleum jelly) for 99% of the benefits

That's not antiseptic

Go to an ER or UC and have them dress a wound for you. They will use a healthy dose of petroleum jelly and generally tell you to stay away from antibiotic ointments.

Use honey instead.

Not directly, but it acts as a barrier against microbes.
