It’s actually because Apple only allows their own services to do this – a great example of self-dealing: forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/…

We teach kids how to write if statements before we teach them how to install programs or manage files it’s like teaching them how to parallel park before they’ve learned to steer

When I was young I fixed my parents’ computer and now that I’m older I fix computers for my kids. Are we the only generation that knows how computers work?

Even if we fix the housing system (unlimit supply, prices plummet, and property taxes soar, i.e. a land value tax) People will still buy houses and rent them out to other people, just like car dealerships lease cars, or Apple leases phones. They will still be investment vehicles

a 16” screen has 7 MILLION pixels taking up 28 MILLION bytes for a single framebuffer calendars have not changed much since early computers, but image sensors and displays have jumped orders of magnitude they drive RAM requirements

8GB *should* be enough How did we end up in a world where your computer’s calendar needs 81.6 MILLION bytes of active memory

Interact made space for me to consider how the world could work if it was built by people more aligned with my values. It’s also a lot of fun! If you’re 18-23, consider applying for the Interact Fellowship—applications close today:

Interact
Interact is a fellowship of technologists. We come together to collaborate, seek out difficult conversations, and push each other to do good in the world.
